Watch a Mesmerizing Time-Lapse Video of Sunday's Super Blood Moon

On Sunday night, the heavens gifted us with a rare and wonderful performance. For the first time in 33 years, a supermoon occurred during a lunar eclipse, giving the celestial orb a blood-red tinge and then allowing it to vanish almost as if it were being eaten by the sky. 

There are plenty of amazing photos of the event (like that image above at Glastonbury), but this time-lapse video taken by Bryan Snider in Gilbert, Arizona, captures the phenomenon best because it shows the remarkable evolution of this historic occurrence. The next "super blood moon," as it's been dubbed, won't be until 2033, so feast your eyes on this beauty.

Wallpaper  in the 1960s was what  pastel kitchens  were in the 1950s — ubiquitous. And according to this archival footage of a wallpaper factory in England, new technology was a major reason why. The video takes us behind the scenes of the "science fiction-ish procedure" used to craft these decidedly over-the-top — at least by today's standards — wall decor. As the narrator points out, some hand-blocking was still used during those "machine mad days," but modern inventions were heavily relied upon in order to crank out thousands of sheets a day. The "whirling world of wallpaper" included machines that transferred color and pattern onto the paper, as well as machines that helped dry the sheets and separate them. There were even machines that helped create curtains that perfectly matched your wallpaper (aka the height of style during the '60s). And although wallpaper hasn't been quite as popular as it w...

How Often Do You Need to Wash Your Mattress Pad?

Image
Getty/Jamie Grill There's nothing that ruins the feeling of just-cleaned sheets like realizing that your protective mattress pad is looking a little... yellow. We all know you're supposed to wash your sheets every one or two weeks, but what about this pesky thing under your sheets?  Our expert is here to share her wisdom. But first things first, when we say mattress pad, we mean a traditional protective covering like this. Pillowy toppers are a different story since they come in so many varieties (consult the care label for the best washing instructions), and the foam versions can't be washed at all. You'll want to replace your topper when they're not comfortable or supportive anymore. But here's the scoop on mattress pads: You should wash your mattress pad every couple months. "It's only necessary to wash your mattress pad several times per year," says Carolyn Forte, director of the Cleaning Lab at the Good Housekeeping ...

Getty When it comes to cooking, we love a shortcut — and there are so many genius food hacks out there to help the cooking challenged among us. But some of those tricks are more successful than others, to say the least. Case in point: The sideways toaster hack that has been taking Facebook by storm is actually way more dangerous than the tasty picture lets on. And people say I'm not a genius #grilledcheesetoaster pic.twitter.com/aYXi2zO0LA — Reid (@ReidLezak) March 1, 2013 @adamliaw Turn a toaster on the side to make grilled cheese toast.
