Authors@Google: Nicholas de Monchaux "Spacesuit: Fashioning Apollo"

Nicholas de Monchaux spoke at the Google Mountain View campus on April 6, 2011, about his book Spacesuit: Fashioning Apollo: When Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped onto the lunar surface in July of 1969, they wore spacesuits made by Playtex: twenty-one layers of fabric, each with a distinct yet interrelated function, custom-sewn for them by seamstresses whose usual work was fashioning bras and girdles. This talk is the story of those spacesuits. It is a story of the Playtex Corporation's triumph over the military-industrial complex—a victory of elegant softness over engineered hardness, of adaptation over cybernetics. The lecture touches on, amongst other things, eighteenth-century androids, Christian Dior's New Look, Atlas missiles, cybernetics and cyborgs, latex, JFK's carefully cultivated image, the CBS lunar broadcast soundstage, NASA's Mission Control, and the applications of Apollo-style engineering to city planning. The twenty-one-layer spacesuit, de Monchaux argues, offers an object lesson. It tells us about redundancy and interdependence and about the distinctions between natural and man-made complexity; it teaches us to know the virtues of adaptation and to see the future as a set of possibilities rather than a scripted scenario. About the author: Nicholas de Monchaux is an architect and urbanist focused on issues of nature, technology, and the city. He received his BA with distinction in Architecture, from Yale University, and his Professional Degree (M ...

10 Signs You Need a New Bra!

!±8± 10 Signs You Need a New Bra!

If you're like most women, you dread the day you have to go bra shopping. Women have mental lists of reasons why to not shop for bras: they're expensive, they don't like to shop for themselves, and they don't have the time or the patience to try on every bra in the store, or just can't find the right fit! Frustrating? There's no avoiding it-sometimes you need to buy a new bra-and that doesn't mean when the wires are poking you through the fabric! Knowing when to get a new bra is essential to helping you keep bras that are comfortable and shapely. Here are a few reasons you may be in need of a new bra-now.

1. If Last Summer was the last time you bought a bra. Bra shopping can be expensive. It can be easy to spend , , or even 0 on a bra, but there are plenty of bras for under as well! Think of it this way, if you can spend that money on a mani/pedi or a couple of movie tickets, you can definitely spend it on a bra!

2. A Special Occasion. Do you have a wedding coming up? A 'formal' dance maybe? There are certain occasions you may need to wear a strapless or 'convertible' bra-essential to every woman's wardrobe!

3. Great News! You're Pregnant! You may not need a maternity bra just yet, but expect to grow a couple of sizes during your pregnancy. Even women with small breasts will eventually need a bra with underwire for support during pregnancy. Taking care of your breasts during pregnancy and nursing, with good bras, can minimize post-baby sagging. Look to brands such as Bali, Playtex, and Calvin Klein for comfortable pregnancy/nursing bras.

4. Your bra just doesn't fit right. If your bra is stretched, the back strap rides up, you're constantly adjusting, or you're embarrassed to wear a tight-fitting shirt-you need a different bra. Be honest with yourself first-Do you wish you were a C cup, but are really a B cup? Or what if a DD is just too small for you? Your bra should support and shape you, without restricting you. Your bra should not be loose in any way when you stand up straight. Don't be ashamed to check out full-figured or plus-sized bras for the right fight. If you wear t-shirts often, a good seamless bra is essential. Again, stop stressing about your size! Get a bra that is going to be comfortable.

5. Your bra's best friend is your washing machine. Remember this-bras should be hand-washed. Most of us don't have the time, but in this case, do yourself and your bra a favor a get a lingerie bag! Bras that are machine-washed/dried need to be replaced much more often than ones that are gently hand-washed.

6. Underwire poking at your skin. The underwire in a bra should lay flat against your skin, underneath the breasts. If you feel the underwire poking through the fabric, you need a new bra! Find yourself adjusting the underwire back to its proper position throughout the day? It's time for a new bra.

7. Holes in your bra. If your bra is in any way torn, this is a sign it needs to be replaced. Think of it this way, a bra with holes in it can tear completely at any moment. What will you do then?

8. Your bra is not the same shape and does not have the same support as a new bra that is the same size. This is especially true for sports bras. If you hold up your existing bra to a new one of the same size and it does not look the same, you've worn it out! Champion or Adidas are good brands for sports bras.

9. You have gained or lost weight. Your breasts are made up of, mostly, fatty tissue, so when you gain or lose weight, it may make a significant change in their size-assuring you a new bra. Whenever you gain or lose 10 pounds, you should get fitted for a bra to ensure you are buying the right size for your body.

10. Ready for a New Look? You don't have to wait until your old bras are ripped and torn to get a new one! Have fun with it! If you usually wear plain cotton bras, try printed, sexy, lace bras for a quick pick-me-up. You may discover a whole new bra-world for yourself!

Bra shopping shouldn't be frustrating. If you happen to find a bra that fits you "like a glove" you may want to but a few in case they're discontinued! Have fun with your bra shopping, but remember, a good bra should be comfortable and should support you-it should not be a nuisance. Happy shopping!

Pet Grooming Uniforms

!±8± Pet Grooming Uniforms

Wearing a pet grooming uniform makes a groomer look more professional. A good uniform can be purchased at any good pet supply store or medical supply store; you may get a better selection searching the internet. They should look stylish but yet maintain comfort for the person wearing it. A good uniform should have reinforcements at all the main stress points to ensure long life and lots of durability. The uniform should be able to hold up against any dog or cat scratches that may occur, so the material will need to be tough. They should be stain resistant and withstand many washing and drying cycles. The uniform should be loose fitting and still be tight enough that it will not interfere with your job. A pet groomer's uniform should reflect the ideas of the person who is wearing it. It can show what kind of animals the person deals with, or what animal they like.

Pet groomers that wear just a smock and blue jeans may tend to be comfortable but do not really look very professional. Some groomers wear scrubs to make them look more professional, but a much better look would to be wear scrub pants and a nice looking smock that reflected the personality of the pet groomer, and how they feel about pets. Such as a smock that said "I love dogs", or "cats are my favorite animals", or it could have prints of combs and brushes.

A plastic apron should be part of the groomer's uniform to help keep their pants and smocks from getting wet while they are giving the animal a bath. A nice leather apron will also assist when handling pets of any kind. When working with pets there is always a chance of catching an infection or getting covered with flees, or even worse lice, so the best way to protect yourself from this is to wear the proper type of clothing.

Another very important item of the pet groomer's uniform to consider are the type of shoes that the groomer should wear. They should be comfortable enough to be able to wear all day, because most of the time the groomer will spend more time on their feet than sitting. The shoes should be durable and slip proof. There are shoes that are sold that are especially made for this type of job, by that I mean for people who do lots of standing. They should not be made out of leather or canvas, as some animals may not be able to control themselves and have an accident on your shoes that may stain them. The best type of shoes to fit this type of job are called "Crocs", they are made with rubber, instead of canvas or leather. Shoes may not be washable but should definitely be disinfected each day before and after working hours to ensure that no unwanted little bugs will go home with you and maybe infect your own pets.

Part of the pet groomers uniforms that should not be for gotten are a pair of gloves. Some groomers use just regular latex gloves and change them very often according to what they are doing, however a good thick pair of Playtex Living Gloves would be more sufficient for all the jobs that a groomer will do during the course of a day, and they can be disinfected after grooming one animal and before going to another one. The thicker glove style also helps protect your skin from scratches that may happen while grooming a pet.

Remember, your uniform reflects a person's personality towards their job, and makes a good impression for their clients.
