Any historian will agree that heated waters were first used back in the year two thousand B. C. In ancient Egypt. Back then, naturally heated water was used for therapeutic reasons as it was thought to possess healing properties. The world’s first spa’s remains have been traced back to the year six hundred B. C. And were made usually out of big cauldrons and the waters were heated by placing fire heated stones in it.

Primitive hot tubs and Jacuzzis started cropping up in Finland and Japan a couple of decades later and are still very popular today. Their bathing houses were considered crucial social spots and were known to include rooms of spas, private wash rooms, steam rooms, and massage rooms.

By the nineteenth century, the usage and popularity of the hot tub had made its way over to Western Europe and America. Frequenting a spa there was considered to be a major part of the gentile and wealthy lifestyle. The bathing houses evolved with time and began including other things like hotels, shopping malls, and even casinos.

In the mid forties, smaller versions of hot tubs began appearing in modern American homes. They were reminiscent of the larger bathing centers and were generally made out of large oak barrels and cedar vats. These early prototypes were cheaply made and were often prone to leaks. In the mid sixties, people began constructing more stable spas out of smoke belched wood and wood fired heaters. These devices resembled the hot tub of today and featured better water circulation which helped promote sanitation.

The spa’s popularity fastly started to spread throughout the United States and were built in a way that allowed the average middle class citizen purchase one for their very own. The tubs proved to be extremely beneficial for users with arthritis or injured muscles and proved to be extremely relaxing for users looking to relax at the end of a crazy day.

Out of a necessity to prevent warping of the wood and leaking, the product began to eventually be manufactured with and fitted with shells made of fiberglass. A shell both prevented leaks and allowed a manufacturer to mold ergonomic seatings. They also helped to ensure the water’s cleanliness.

To ensure your own tub’s safety, you will have to do regular water changes and cleanings as well. To prevent any waterborne diseases from spreading, you will have to maintain the water chemistry and pH balance of the item with special chemicals and testing kits.

There are several ways you can take medicine that you don’t like the taste of. The type of medication you are taking will affect how you can take it. You should always read the labels carefully to see if there are any restrictions on how you can have your medication, for example some pills must be taken with meals.

If you find it hard to swallow pills and tablets there are several things you can do. Some pills can be dissolved in liquid. This is a good option if it is the act of swallowing that you find difficult, as opposed to the taste of the tablets.

Another things you could try is crushing the pills until they become a powder. This powder can then be mixed with food to disguise the medicine. This could range from mixing it with a spoonful of jelly, or putting it in with a whole meal. Which option you choose will depend on the instructions given which tell you how the pills should be taken.

Giving yourself a treat can be another way of making medication easier to take. It needs to be something that you will consider to be a reward, such as time alone to read a book, or a bar of chocolate. This method is suitable for any type of medication making it a good option, especially for adults.

With liquid medication one possibility may be to mix it with another liquid which you like. You need to check the labels to make sure it is safe to do this, for example it may say that the medicine should not be diluted. If it can be diluted it’s best to use as little additional liquid as possible. If it doubt you should check with your doctor.

Routine is important when it comes to your medication. If you can get used to taking it at the same time each day there is much less chance of you forgetting it. If you just leave it until you remember you may end up missing doses and that could lessen the effect of the medication or have other side effects.

If you find taking medicine by yourself hard then you could think about asking someone to help you. A medication buddy could support you and check with you that you have taken your medication, and that you are okay. This support could be given to you by phone call or on person.

This type of table has been around for a long time. Before the Industrial Revolution, they were part of a gentleman’s study. He would use it for drawing, painting and for reading large volumes and newspapers. This early table was usually very heavy and made of oak. The raising and lowering apparatus used a lead weight to keep the table top at the desired angle and height.

Drawing, painting and design became less the province of the gentleman during the Industrial Revolution. The drafting table became more of a office or shop fixture. It was designed to be less heavy and cumbersome and made of less costly materials. The function was unchanged but the distribution and popularity of these essential tables greatly increased.

They were also found to be a useful part of the clerks offices in the courthouses. Legal ledgers can be quite large and are difficult to handle or move. The drafting table’s upright position is ideal for this purpose. Libraries also use a fixed type for the display of newspapers and magazines.

Mostly, though, the modern drafting table is used by artists, designers, architects and some engineers. They still perform the basic functions but there are a wide range of styles and types available.

Students can find a wide range of designs and models in online art supply store catalogs. The student table is usually relatively light-weight and simply designed. The tops are usually removable for easy transporting and are made of plywood with a scratch and cut resistant coating. The raising and lowering mechanism can range from primitive to relatively sophisticated depending on the price one is willing and or able to pay.

There’s a good selection of professional models on the market as well. Raising mechanisms can range from the traditional lead weight pulley system to mechanized or computerized forms which offer a high degree of accuracy and perform to exacting standards.

Whether you’re a student, an artist, an architect or draftsman, you’ll find your online research of Drafting Table will be invaluable in determining which one is right for you. There are many art and architecture supply stores listed online and many of them have catalogs with pictures, dimensions and full descriptions of each table. When selecting, consider where you will be using it and whether it should be portable or a fixed version. You may prefer a simpler model that can be easily dismantled or you may need a precision instrument. Then check the shipping charges. Is the machine shipped as one piece or do you have to assemble it? Doing the research fully before you make your decision will ensure you are pleased with your purchase.

A great game of recent vintage is the 1997 Bally release “Cirqus Voltaire”. The theme is sort of a ‘Cirque du Soleil” on acid, and the iconography of the circus that they cram into the design and play of the game is amazing. The ultimate object of the game is to “join the cirqus”, which, of course, is a classical American archetype of freedom and escape. Yet this “Cirqus” is not a Norman Rockwell vision of juvenile fun–there are a lot of sinister undertones as well, including evil ringmasters and an almost palpable feeling of sleaze.

The game play offers a lot of what we’ve come to expect from Williams/Bally, with sweeping ramp shots, clever uses of time-worn features (like the disappearing pop bumper, reincarnated here as a balloon. This feature dates back to the 1950’s and appeared on Williams “Gusher” among others), and multi-ball a-plenty. As is very common with pinball games today, the game’s ultimate object is to work your way through a variety of ‘modes’. Sometimes this is a confusing endeavor, but here is very easy to understand–yet still very challenging to the player.

At its nadir, pinball companies were cranking out games featuring themes and subjects that offered little, if any, synergy with game play. The low point might have been some of the celebrity tie-in games of the early eighties (which gave the world debacles like a Dolly Parton and Roy Clark tie-in). “Cirqus Voltaire” may represent a high point of thematic unity between game subjects, aesthetic design and play experience. It offers an otherworldly interpretation on a circus, with subtext, nuance and detail.

The really great thing about the game is the multiple levels of contextual awareness it offers. It alternately provides a celebration and condemnation of the circus and, deeper still, of the popular culture that spawns embraces them. This is not a new notion for a pinball machine to offer different levels of interpretation of seemingly innocuous events (it dates back to the pioneering artist Roy Parker, if not before) but in recent years it may not have been done more deftly than in Cirqus Voltaire.

Until the 1980’s, pinball dominated the arcade. In the late 1970’s and on the heels of the film adaptation of The Who’s pinball themed rock opera ‘Tommy’ arcades featured row after row of new machines from over a half dozen US based manufacturers. Countless other machines were made worldwide. The first shot of the video game industry didn’t make much of a dent–’Pong’ was revolutionary, but its gameplay was downright dull compared to pinball. It also required two players, another downside in the often solitary isolation of the arcade. The first real challenge to pinball was the second generation of video games, including ‘Space Invaders’ and ‘Asteroids’.

Pinball put up a good fight, and popular games continued to appear through the mid 1980’s. Several pinball games were actually spinoffs of popular video games–”Spy Hunter and Space Invaders and a number of not so good ones based on the Pac Man video games. For awhile, pinball and video games enjoyed an uneasy co-existence, much like Mac and Windows in the computer world.

It was the late 1980s”when video games became more technologically advanced and began to offer superior play experiences”that pinball lost its way. Depending on the manufacturer, they did it in different ways. Gottlieb and others made simple, traditional games that just couldnt compete with their video counterparts. Bally and other manufacturers went the opposite route”by cramming so much onto a playfield that the game hardly resembled traditional pinball. Some of Ballys late 1980s games”with so much playfield gimmickry going on”were nearly unplayable. By this point the video game had taken over the arcade. Some larger arcades continued to offer a few pinball machines to placate hardcores, while some eliminated pinball altogether. In the 1970’s most decent arcades would feature over a dozen machines, with large facilities having several dozen. By the mid 1980’s, it was rare to see more than three or four pinball machines in one location.

Pinball began to experience a bit of a comeback in the 1990’s driven by well designed, enjoyable games that finally got the balance between traditional gameplay and modern technology right. Williams and Bally (whom WMS later acquired), along with Data East, were making the majority of new games and some would become classics. Pin-Bot, Earthshaker The Adams Family and Diner are among my favorites of this era. Articles started to appear in the traditional media about the durability and timelessness of pinball, about how the average pinball machine received much more repeat business than the average video game and about the devotion of the pinball player.

With the century drawing to a close, it seemed that the Williams/Bally outfit had found a niche and would be able to grind out pinball machines for the aficionados forever. The final nail in the coffin, however, was a lot of societal changes beyond their control. For one, video games and video arcades became less profitable as companies like Sony and Nintendo were able to transform a lot of the high end gameplay to the home platform. Meanwhile, trends like new urbanism,which saw a return to downtown storefronts and the growth of online shopping combined to hurt traditional shopping malls. Eventually the WMS corporate braintrust decided to pull the plug on pinball and concentrate on their highly profitable gambling machine business. From a business standpoint, it probably made sense but that didnt make it any easier for lifelong pinball enthusiasts to reconcile with.

Pinball still soldiers on, with something of a hipster revival of the games in cities like Seattle and Portland where lovingly restored machines sit alongside new offerings by Stern Pinball, the only remaining manufacturer in the world. At this point, it appears that the only hope for pinball players is that some effort will be made to preserve the machines that already exist.

THE BOX OFFICE BOMB THEMED MACHINE:

In 1991 Williams Pinball released a machine based on Terminator 2 complete with a gun trigger to launch the ball and a ton of Arnold’s catch phrases like Ill be back keyed to various game objectives. The film was a huge hit, and everything worked well together. Because of the success of this machine the production companies thought that releasing a pinball machine simultaneous with the film would be a great cross promotional tactic.

Unfortunately, this thinking led to a number of pinball machines based on films that were absolute bombs. For example, there wasnt a cooler cartoon than The Flintstones. So how do you screw up a Flintstones pinball machine? Just base the theme not on the classic Hanna Barbara cartoon, but on the horrible film starring John Goodman and Rosie ODonnell.

The all time low water mark (no pun intended) has to be “Waterworld”. Waterworld was released in 1995 starring Kevin Costner and quickly became the definitive big budget, no box office film replacing Michael Ciminos Heavens Gate and the Dustin Hoffman/Warren Beatty comedy Ishtar.

Playing a bomb themed pinball machine is downright surreal. The most pitiful thing is when the machine booms out a catch phrase from the film that no one is familiar with. Hearing Arnold bark out “I’ll be back” is cool. Hearing him do his catchphrase from “The Last Action Hero” not so much.

THE DUBIOUSLY TIMED THEME:

This genre includes themes that would have been pretty cool, except for the fact they were released well after the subjects popularity had begun to ebb. Gilligans Island would have been great back in the mid-1960s or even in the late 70s when a new generation discovered the show in syndication. In 1991 it was just creepy since nearly half of the cast members depicted on the backglass were dead. The Six Million Dollar Man was released in the fall of 1978, just in time for the shows cancellation.

The strangest machine of this genre is 1994s Mario Andretti. Andretti is certainly worthy of a pinball machine as hes a legitimate auto racing legend. Whats strange about this machine, however, is the backglass which displays an image of grizzled old Mario Andretti. Having the sixty-something race car driver on the backglass is vaguely akin to having your grandfather looking over your shoulder while you play.

ROOT,ROOT, ROOT FOR THE HOME TEAM:

A comment on the original celebrity theme article mentioned this genre and it is a good one. Its important to understand that the pinball industry has been based in Chicago for most of its history. Presumably for that reason there have been some machines featuring the local sports teams and stars. The Big Hurt Frank Thomas was a solid major league ballplayer, but not really worthy of a pinball machine themed around him. The most egregious example of this was 1978s Bobby Orrs Power Play, released not long after the trade that sent Orr from Boston to Chicago. Nationally, no one outside of Boston and Chicago cared.

THE BAD CONVERSION FOR THE INTERNATIONAL MARKET:

For reasons that Ive never been quite clear on it was common practice to rebrand a perfectly good game for the International market. Sometimes it was released by the US company, other times it was licensed to a foreign operation. Youd think that there would be some creative control over the rebranded themes but that wasn’t the case.

While I have a good grasp on the US pinball demographic I have no idea what sort of degenerate plays pinball internationally. Based on some of the re-themed machines its probably better I dont know. Mata Hari was a classic machine of the early 1980s. The German release was rethemed as the more foreboding Lady Death. This one at least makes sense as they had some Nazi imagery that Germans are understandably sensitive about (despite being historically inaccurate, since the real Mata Hari was executed during WW I). Less understandable is the retheming of a military themed game called Special Force in the US to the downright bizarre Special Forces Girls, featuring comely women in low cut, cleavage baring fatigues.
