As I stare out the window this morning, taking in the gloriousness of a sunny day, I can’t help but feel like spring is here, and it’s time to break out the camping gear. Apparently, Marc Phillippe Babineau had the same thought — last week, he published an article entitled “Essential Tools for Camping“.
In his article, Babineau lists and describes a number of tools you shouldn’t leave home without. Among them are:

It would seem that LED technology is, again, evolving to greater extremes. I recently heard about a British company that is currently designing an LED-based wallpaper. Yes, I just said wallpaper.
Apparently, the wallpaper uses a chemical coating that glows, lighting up a room like natural sunlight would. The coating somehow utilizes organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), so the wallpaper comes with all the energy saving and efficiency LEDs bring. Interestingly, an electrical current will run through the wallpaper, but it is reportedly safe to touch.

Well, it’s raining in the Pacific Northwest — again. And with fall officially here, rain will become the norm. In spite of that fact however, don’t let the foreboding thought of rain discourage you from venturing out camping. Contrary to what some may think, camping in the rain can be just as fun and relaxing as in the summer sun. Don’t believe me?
A large reason why people struggle in the elements is that they’re ill-prepared for what the weather may bring. As such, here are a few tips to prevent the rain from ruining your outing, courtesy Camping Blogger. (more…)

Scientists from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) have developed a method for making lettuce healthier by exposing it to UV LED light. Stephen Britz, a plant physiologist with the USDA, and his colleagues presented their research at the 2009 Conference on Lasers and Electro Optics/International Quantum Electronics Conference (CLEO/IQEC) earlier this month.
Apparently, exposure to ultraviolet LED light causes the leaves of lettuce to become darker and redder, meaning they possess more antioxidants. Diets rich in antioxidants are said to provide a variety of health benefits including improving brain function and slowing the effects of aging.

Walks Worldwide, an international travel organization specializing in “walking holidays,” has recently added a new, 8-day trip through Transylvania. Known for its natural beauty, medieval architecture, and genuine hospitality, the region is perhaps known best for the folklore that surrounds its rich history.
As the birthplace of Dracula, Transylvania has been host to many myths and legends involving vampires, werewolves, and the like. With Halloween looming closer, what better way to spend it than touring the places where spooky and scary began?

The phrase “green energy” has a huge buzz surrounding it nowadays but the concept of conserving energy has been around for decades. In the past, however, conserving energy often proved impractical because need exceeded the ability to conserve. These days, however, there are a number of environmentally friendly products that are far more practical for use. LED lights are such products.
Whether they are used in flashlights, bicycle lights or home lighting, LED lights provide a far more environmentally friendly product that the traditional lights of the past. There are a number of reasons for this. LED lights require less energy to operate for extended periods of time. This is why having LED lights installed into homes and businesses is becoming more popular. In the same way, when you charge a LED light it will not require recharging as quickly as a standard light would. Also, if the LED light system is battery operated it will require fewer batteries and those batteries that it does use will last a long, long time.
