A tin can, also called a tin (especially in British English) or a can, is an air-tight container for the distribution or storage of goods, composed of thin metal, and requiring cutting or tearing of the metal as the means of opening. Cans hold diverse contents, but the overwhelming majority preserve food by canning. Tin cans are not made solely of tin, but rather tin-coated steel or tinplate. Aluminum or other metals may also be used to make cans. The tin can was patented in 1810 by the English inventor Peter Durand. He did not produce any food cans himself, but sold his patent to two other Englishmen, Bryan Donkin and John Hall, who set up a commercial canning factory, and by 1813 were producing their first canned goods for the British Army. Nowadays cans are usually recycled. Most cans have identical and parallel round tops and bottoms with vertical sides. However, where the small volume to be contained and/or the shape of the contents suggests it, the top and bottom may be rounded-corner rectangles or ovals. Other contents may justify a can that is overall somewhat conical shape.

1. Sage Restaurant in New Jersey
November 19, 2008
Last summer marked a homecoming for Lisa Savage. A graduate of the Mays Landing Academy of Culinary Arts, Savage also trained in Torino, Italy, built her reputation at Brittany Café in Atlantic City in the 90s and later at Savaradio, a sardine tin of a BYO in Ventnor.
In 2005, Savage transplanted Savaradio to a cavernous offshore space in Linwood. “It didn’t work out,” says Savage, “for a variety of reasons.” A big one was that the food didn’t taste as good as it had when you sat in a plastic chair on the sidewalk in the glow of the Wawa sign across the street. After decompressing for a y... (read more)

4. Tinplate: A Hollywood Ending
October 30, 2008
Screen heroes never go out of fashion. And movie production studios have responded to our fascination with heroes by releasing a succession of epic motion-pictures to expectant new audiences. But whilst the movies themselves continue to get bigger, the audiences are getting smaller. From last year, movie-theatre attendance has been cooling off by around 7% on previous years, in favour of an increase in DVD sales. In this climate, the movie industry is relying heavily on DVD sales and the protection of the perceived value of DVDs. Studios have partly closed this gap by ensuring that DVD r... (read more)

7. HTC Touch Diamond Review - This Diamond is Definitely Not in the Rough
October 27, 2008
Do you ever have days where you just love your job? I’ve appointed myself Technical Review Guru on the Prowl and I have to admit I’ve also had days where the latest mobile phone I was putting through its paces was doing nothing much besides boring me to tears. Useful, functional, does what the tin says – and boring.
And then I have days where I get to review a piece of machinery that has my cynical eyebrow climbing over hyped up advertising words like “exhilarating design” but still has me downright, well – exhilarated to be playing with. And so it goes with the HTC Touch Diamond.

roller blind over curtains for added safety. They are extremely easy to fit and available in any colour your child could imagine.
When deciding on coverings for the walls you should take into account how hardy and how repairable a material is. Wallpaper may look pretty but it is close to impossible to cover areas of graffiti without repapering whole areas. A better solution may be paint. It won’t rip and if you keep a tin of the same colour in a cupboard nearby, and marks that may appear can be quickly covered. If your children are likely to cover your painted walls in hand prints anyway,... (read more)

11. Glass Paint - 5 helpful tips for stained glass painting
October 08, 2008
1. Float glass - which side do you paint enamel on? Float - or window - glass has what is called a ‘tin’ or ‘tinned’ side and an ‘air’ side. This refers to the modern method of making sheet glass. Molton glass is floated on to a pool of liquid tin, where gravity and surface tension do their job to smooth and polish the sheets of glass. It is the side touching the tin – the ‘tinned’ side - that you want to avoid when using glass paint, you want to paint on the ‘air’ side. The residue of oxides left on the ‘tin’ side is likely to adversely affect the colours of your stained glass paint... (read more)

These days, art isn’t just restricted to sculpting or painting. Instead, it has begun to comprise a wide range of different media, from oil and canvas and web design, to other "unlikely" materials, such as plastic toys, tin cans, and even food.
