prudential network of homes: The History of Forest Hills Gardens
- 08/10/08 11:53 AM
The Forest Hills Gardens were the first and are the oldest of the designed communities. The neighborhood was planned on the reproduction of the garden communities of England. Forest Hills is situated in the borough of Queens, in NYC, and can be reached from Manhattan by subway on the E, F, G or R lines. The area was formerly known as Whitepot (the land was bought from Native Americans for three white clay pots). Forest Hills was once 600 acres of farm land owned by Frederick Backus, George Backus and Horatio N. Squires. The land was acquired in 1906 by the … (0 comments)
Insulating your home is crucial to save money and heat, however the materials used are not so eco friendly and therefore do not fall in to the green culture, which is a shame. Its true the old blue jeans are actually remarkable for insulation purposes, in fact in some cases they are better than the commercial insulation materials that you buy from the stores. Denim it appears has the same qualities of insulation material, but can keep more heat in and more sound out of your home!

This is truly a wonderful place to visit on a nice spring or summer day. I brought my daughters here last week and we had a ball. There is no admission fee (donations are always appreciated).

The gardens are well kept are the scenery is simply breath taking. Treat yourself to nice, relaxing, peaceful day at the QBG.

prudential network of homes: New TV Technology - OLED
- 07/13/08 04:53 PM
Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED). The future is NOW!!! The coolest thing about OLED is that it can be printed on ultra-thin materials like clothing and roll-up displays. Oh yeah, OLED has a one million to one (1,000,000:1) contrast ratio making it virtually better than how the human eye perceives reality. OLED has a response time of 0.01ms compared to the 8-12ms of LCD. As of now it is expensive to produce and the lifespan of the technology needs to be extended to that of LCD and plasma which is 60,000 hours. Other than that, there are no cons. This display technology … (6 comments)

"Lone Wolf and Cub," which is what this movie is based on, is a legendary manga (Japanese comic book). It's not only the best manga (or even comic book, for that matter) of all time, but it ranks up there as one of the greatest stories ever written. They just don't make classics of this breed anymore! One of the goriest samurai movies ever made really hits a note of brilliance during it's first two minutes. For many years Ogami had served the shogun faithfully as chief executioner. Now he has been betrayed by the elderly and paranoid ruler. Lone Wolf's … (3 comments)

In this flick Barrow, Alaska, is shut off from the world for one month each winter when the sun doesn't come out. The concept is as elegantly simple as the film's desaturated color scheme. Barrow, the northernmost town in the United States, is plunged into darkness one month each winter, when the sun dips below the horizon and doesn't come back. The road and the airport are closed and the reduced population hunkers down and waits. For a coven of vampires, Barrow presents an all-you-can-eat buffet. For the locals it's wholesale slaughter followed by 3 1/2 weeks of hide and seek. … (12 comments)

prudential network of homes: American Gangster - Review
- 11/09/07 04:12 PM
Before "Pablo Escobar" there was Frank Lucas. Based on a true story of Frank Lucas, a real-life heroin kingpin from Harlem who smuggled the drugs into the country in American service planes returning from the Vietnam War. American Gangster, is destined to become a cult classic like "The Godfather" and "Scarface". Starring Denzel Washington and Russel Crow (no alpha-dog dominance was to be established between the two stars). They're together but apart, as their two stories move on parallel tracks and the movie simmers itself to a finale when they finally meet for movie justice to be meted out. American Gangster … (21 comments)
prudential network of homes: Is It Time For A Tabletop Wine Opener?
- 11/09/07 05:36 AM
The first time I used this opener I thought, "What a great opener - no more broken corks!" I've tried it only a few times, but so far it works great. Opening wine bottles has become a cinch... it uncorks with just a pull of the handle and the bottle can be recorked just as easily. The adjustable height stand accommodates all size wine bottles. If you have an entire room reserved just for your wine collection, than you are likely ready for an tabletop uncorking machine. With the simple pull of a lever in one direction, you will be able to … (15 comments)
