Since the first game of paintball was played in 1981, the sport has evolved from something more like Capture the Flag to today’s sophisticated activity with several incarnations such as Woodsball, X-Ball, Speedball, etc. But if you haven’t been playing for many years, you might not know about all of the changes in paintball guns and paintball gun accessories that have been made over the years.
68Caliber runs a series of articles called “Then and Now” that looks at the evolution of the sport, including changes in gun technology, the latest feature. Author Steve Davidson talks about how the limited options when he started playing in 1983 (the Sheridan PGP, the Nelspot 007, and the NSG Splatmaster) have widened to include hundreds of branded options, with upgrades being offered often. The heavy, clunky, fixed-barrel, single-shot “old skool” guns have been replaced with sleeker, lighter, guns with semi-auto/electronically assisted firing modes. It’s a read that’s definitely worth checking out.
For the latest paintball technology, visit Speedy Toys. We’ve been a paintball gun store since 2002 and have been playing for much longer, so we’ve seen a few changes in the sport ourselves!

From silly birthday cards that feature cartoon characters and groan-worth jokes to handcrafted unique wedding invitations that are bona fide works of art, the greeting card industry is a booming one in today’s modern world. Who doesn’t love opening their mailbox and finding a greeting card from a distant friend or relative that commemorates a special occasion — or even offers special thoughts “just because.” Walking down the greeting card aisle in your favorite store or browsing the selection of cards online, it can seem like the number of cards out there are endless.
In fact, you might be surprised to learn just how big a hit greeting cards are with the American public. The Greeting Card Association (the United States trade organization that represents the interests of the stationary, greeting card, and wrapping paper industries), says that approximately 90% of American households purchase greeting cards during the year. The number of total cards purchased totals somewhere around 7 billion. That’s a lot of Christmas greeting cards and birthday well wishes. In the United Kingdom, the number of cards sold is somewhere around 2 billion. Just counting the cards sold in these two countries, the number sold per year could circle the Earth 54 times if they were lined up end to end.
From personalized Christmas cards to simple thank you notes, greeting cards are a simple way to bring joy to someone that you care about. Wish someone well, lift their spirits, or add a celebratory touch to festive events the tried, true and traditional way.

The fast pace of life today results in stress and poor self-care. Healthcare professionals often advise patients to use products for heat therapy to provide tension relief, as well as to soothe sore muscles and stiff joints. Heat therapy is applying warmth to the body in a way that relieves stiffness and pain in joints and muscles. A relaxed body and rejuvenated spirit helps clear the mind, which helps release mental clutter and stress.
What types of products provide heat therapy? Common items, such as a heat wrap, can be found in department stores or shops that sell self-care items. Warming cloths, heated creams and oils, and heating pads are other common heat therapy products. Some specialty shops, such as Warm Whiskers, provide an extra touch of class to these products by adding plush, soft materials, aroma therapy, and calming colors. With the range of heat therapy products on the market today, just about anyone can find products that fit perfectly into their daily routine!

Online shopping provides parents with a huge selection of products, as well as the added bonus of stress-free shopping. Weary parents of toddlers and small babies occasionally dread the next shopping trip from fear or anxiety of scenes that could occur. What if the baby starts screaming and won’t stop? What if the toddler suddenly throws a fit? In a store, parents are forced to choose between abandoning their shopping carts (which may contain emergency items, such as the next serving of formula that baby needs on the double!) or staying and suffering through a loud and embarrassing wait in the shopping line.
Mothers and fathers alike have discovered the relief online shopping provides! From double strollers to toys for toddlers, parents can do a great deal of shopping online from the comfort of home. If baby starts screaming and won’t stop, mom can pause her online shopping trip to take care of the baby’s immediate needs. If toddler throws a fit, dad can take a moment to calm the toddler down before completing his purchase. For parents who need the aid of a stroller to shop, buying large items like baby swings online is a welcome break! Why try to push a stroller and carry a huge, bulky item at the same time? Buying online eliminates hassles like this.
Many parents still enjoy trips to the department store. However, having the option to shop from home makes life easier. Online department stores save parents time, money, and stress—this makes the day simpler for everyone!

Even if you’ve got a great working relationship with your superior(s), gifting is always tricky. You want to give him or her something that shows you’re a valuable team player, but you also want to make it fun. We recommend a couple of different ideas. First up is a VoIP phone system. This system will help the company save money, as most service providers bundle unlimited usage plans under a flat monthly rate, as well as connect the whole organization for conference calls and web-based voicemail.
If the word “boss” is more of a suggestion than an official title and your boss is as much of a friend as an employer, consider giving him or her a karaoke machine. Everyone says they don’t karaoke, but when the microphone calls, few can resist. Even better, bring it to the company holiday party and be prepared to unleash the rock star within.
