“It’s to get the bed border to speak to you from across the room, to make the consumer want to walk over to it and then gaze down at the bed’s fabulous panel fabric,” Franklin says.

To drive the point home, the company today released a music video of (apparent) Velcro employees taking turns, in rhapsodic verse, decrying the ways people incorrectly use the brand in everyday life.

For the SWAT-less riders out there, you could bust out the electrical tape and just strap shit to your bike. That’s certainly a fashionable trend these days, but I ain’t into it. Bungee cords – like those from Backcountry Research – are a much neater solution. They’re not exactly foul weather friendly though, and they’re also limited in what they can carry.

However, Peoples said she is worried about older family members, like her mother-in-law who has pulmonary issues and hasn’t left the house for a week.

Inside cars, automotive companies are loading interiors with dozens of sensors that monitor a driver for everything from sleepy eyes to slouched posture and excited arm gestures.

The Cortez, Colorado, pack company revamped its hydration line for 2019, modernizing some of our old favorites, like the Raptor and the Raven. But Osprey also added several interesting and less expensive models. My top pick is the Siskin 12 (the Salida 12 for women), a pleasantly simple panel loader with one large compartment, three interior organization pockets, and a kangaroo-style compression front pouch. Even fully loaded, the pack carries light and dry, thanks to a screen of mesh strung over the ridged-foam back panel. The included 2.5-liter Hydraulics reservoir, which fits in a dedicated zip pocket, is one of my favorite designs, both for the ease of turning on and off water flow as well as the magnet that keeps the hose attached to the sternum strap. The zippered hipbelt pouches are also indispensable, making it easy to keep tools, food, and a camera close at hand. Testers also raved over the Seral ($85) and the Savu ($55), which pack many of the same features as the Siskin into, respectively, reservoir- and bottle-equipped lumbar packs.

And he used steel chisels and hammers. Back "in the day" the only tools that were available were bronze chisels and round stone hammers. Using those tools try performing the intricate work that was done to cut and shape the obelisk with its tapered corners and cleanly cut hieroglyphs, each side completely different than the others. Remember. They made no mistakes!!! Not one slip of the chisel. No miscalculations. And on the interior of the so-called "King’s Chamber" the granite ceiling was made of cantilevered, rectangle shaped 40 foot long solid granite. Each weighed 30 to 40 tons. Now tell me the pyramid builders did all that with the tools and equipment as has been described in videos made by people who believe in what is called The Standard Model of ancient builders.
