The wings of desire flutter in the heart of all contractor-kind for this kind of spatial freedom.

Eddie Bauer Legend Wash Broken-in Chino

Determining the right cut, shape and fit of pant is an ongoing and tremendously personal experience. Due to the fact that our bodies vary so much with time, it is difficult to choose a pair of pants that fits well all of the time. Couple this with the fact that most folks do a lot of sitting at a desk, where ones waist elongates both physically and physiologically, and there will be problems finding pants that fit well.

Because of these issues, I've never found a good pair of pants. I essentially try a new brand every year. I've been through the big 3 manufacturers of chinos, and have taken a somewhat random sampling from other vendors, mostly based on the availability and price of the product.

As such, it was inevitable that I would someday try out Eddie Bauer's offering. Cut from a slightly sturdier fabric, I've found that the pants hold up better than most.

Arm and Hammer Baking Soda

Are your baked goods lacking leavity?

When you need a leavening agent, and don't have time to wait for yeast to work it's magic, nor the inclination to use baking powder, reach for the baking soda.

Arm & Hammer is synonymous with baking soda. Over the past 260 years, the good people at A&H have put their blood, sweat and tears into their baking soda, and you can taste it. It beats the no name brand, hands down.

Pheylonian Pure Beeswax Drip Candles

Om. Om. Om. om.

Burning paraffin wax candles releases carcinogens into the air. Breathing carcinogens can cause cancer. Even though the carcinogen levels in paraffin smoke are quite low, it's probably best not to breathe too many of those fumes.

But if you can't fire up the old candle, how are you supposed to meditate, dawg? Not sure? Well bust out your Grandmaster Flash LP, because it's time to meditate old school.

People have been using beeswax candles for hundreds of years. As it turns out, paraffin is an industrial byproduct, and didn't even exist 150 years ago. Back then, people made their candles out of other forms of wax.

For meditation, beeswax is a great choice for candle wax. The subtle earthy aroma instills a feeling of oneness with the Earth in the meditator. As far as beeswax candles go, you could do worse than a Pheylonian Pure Beeswax Drip Candle which, when properly managed, can burn for over 100 hours. Put that in your meditation session and smoke it.

Gios Cycling Cap

Few garments wed style and function as tightly as a cycling cap. The germ of the idea for these caps was probably formed over a hundred years ago, as a cyclist crested one of the French alps, heading east early in the AM. Wanting to keep the sun out of her eyes, but not wanting to obscure her field of vision unnecessarily, she would have rushed home to sew a cap with a curt brim. It blocks the sun, but it doesn't stop the world from seeing your beautiful face. Another bonus is that the hat prevents painful pate sunburns for balding individuals.

With a cycling cap, you'll go from just another sucker on a fixie to instant street cred. Wearing appropriate clothing is the easiest way to gain respect.

Forever Stovetop Espresso Maker

An unmistakably South American aroma wafts down the streets and back alleys near a fancy italian coffee shop. Aroused nostrils flare at the smell of steamed cooked bean grindings. Gourmands and foodies alike casually meander toward the smell, riddling themselves about which variety of biscotti would go best with the aroma. Before long, the little coffee shop is packed full of people, clamouring to get the oily paws onto a beaker full of loving, flavour-charged espresso.

You can have this experience at home with Forever's Stovetop Espresso Maker. Using a pressurized steam system to force pressurized gaseous water through the coffee beans, you won't be able to tell its espresso from store bought. It's so good, in fact, that world espresso champion Drea du Mandionne always takes one with her when she is camping. Her taste is unimpeachable, so this is clearly a quality item.
