In the 1940s, television started, stopped, started again and then took off. In the process, the new medium turned on the lives of rural residents connecting them to the rest of the world even more than newspapers or radio.
The first practical TV sets were demonstrated and sold to the public at the 1939 World's Fair in New York. The sets were very expensive and New York City had the only broadcast station.
When World War II started, all commercial production of television equipment was banned. Production of the cathode ray tubes that produced the pictures was redirected to radar and other high tech war uses.

Cape Kawanda in the Afternoon
Welcome to my guest post today.
--------------------------------------------
Thanks for the article from Jermaine Haynes
This afternoon I loaded the Kids into the wagon and after setting our Security Choice adt alarm system, headed for Pacific City, and Cape Kawanda, to hike the beach and dunes. I prefer the beach, while the Kids prefer the dunes where they can slide down after climbing to the top. They have way more energy than I do, so I usually find a nice spot to relax while watching them having a great time. Once they tire themselves out we can spend the rest of the afternoon leisurely hiking along the tide line looking for treasure.
We had a wonderful afternoon as we wandered down the beach watching the Gulls and other sea birds playing on the wind currents overhead while a commercial crabber worked their pots off shore. Connie spotted a dead jellyfish just above the current water line. The Kids spent several minutes examining their find before they were willing to continue our progress down the beach in hopes of discovering more interesting items.
I was so glad I had my camera with me when we came upon a mama Killdeer with her chicks. When she spied us she did the play dead act while the babies ran into a clump of beach grass, and I managed to get pictures of the Kids examining her from about 4 feet away.

States of these United States. Alabama
Life in America is about the beauty and the wonder and the knowledge of these United States. As a part of this blog in the future I am going to review briefly each state in alphabetical order. The first state is Alabama.
Alabama (Listeni /ˌæləˈbæmə/) is a state located in the southeastern region of the United States of America. It is bordered by Tennessee to the north, Georgia to the east, Florida and the Gulf of Mexico to the south, and Mississippi to the west. Alabama ranks 30th in total land area and ranks second in the size of its inland waterways. The state ranks 23rd in population with almost 4.6 million residents in 2006.[4]
From the American Civil War until World War II, Alabama, like many Southern states, suffered economic hardship, in part because of continued dependence on agriculture. Despite the growth of major industries and urban centers, white rural interests dominated the state legislature until the 1960s, while urban interests and African Americans were under-represented.[5] Following World War II, Alabama experienced growth as the economy of the state transitioned from agriculture to diversified interests in heavy manufacturing, mineral extraction, education, and technology. In addition, the establishment or expansion of multiple military installations, primarily those of the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force, added to state jobs.
Alabama is unofficially nicknamed the Yellowhammer State, after the state bird. Alabama is also known as the "Heart of Dixie". The state tree is the Longleaf Pine, the state flower is the Camellia. The capital of Alabama is Montgomery. The largest city by population is Birmingham. The largest city by total land area is Huntsville. The oldest city is Mobile, founded by French colonists.

Cabling Installation
In this electronic age most of our buildings, new construction and remodels, need cabling installation to keep up with their needs for things like internet, television, conferencing and many other needs.
This is where it makes great sense to have your cabling installation done by a trusted expert. I have worked in a company where a non – professional was doing this type of installation. This went fine until such time as their were some specialty needs that he could not perform well. Well, what did they have to do? They had to let him go and go out and find the right professional who could do the complete job.
Well, if what you are needing is cabling installation from a national cabling company that performs large cabling installations in an entire building such as NYC then you may want to talk to this company, Mason Technologies. They are experts in data, voice, fiber and structured cabling. They will install what you need in all the network data cabling, telephone voice and they can and have done this for thousands of locations
They do focus on business companies who want and need cable install in entire building on multiple floors. So if you have a company, you want to use them, because they are the best in the united states.

Tee Time in America.
It is time for everyone to know that it is time to go somewhere, take in the beach and play some golf. I am always looking for that perfect place to do all of that and more. That is why I am always searching the internet and always looking at sites such as http://www.myrtlebeachseasideresorts.com/
This is a site that gives some great information about Myrtle Beach and a great resort with a great place where I believe I would like to go to play golf and for the wife to lay on the beach. Yes, I might lay on the beach too. You can bet that she probably is not going to play golf. But if she were it would be obvious that if she was looking for some great golf packages Myrtle Beach has to offer than she would be looking at places such as www.myrtlebeachseasideresorts.com
Yes, I saw her looking the other night at the internet and I hope that is what she was looking for. The reason that I would like this is that it is past time for vacation since we have not had one this year and I am ready to go. I am ready for some golf and some beach. What about you.
