Memorial Park: Explore Thirty Miles of Trails
February 11, 2014 by
The convenient location of Houston’s Memorial Park in the River Oaks neighborhood makes this a popular spot for exercise enthusiasts and picnickers alike. Most come for the many trails for hiking, jogging, and biking. The three mile loop is popular for runners, but there are over thirty miles that meander through woods. The large space provides plenty of room for visitors to spread out, so you don’t feel cramped. Although it may draw a crowd, parking is hardly ever an issue.
Other facilities include sand volleyball, tennis and basketball courts, as well as baseball and soccer fields, even a municipal golf course and indoor fitness center! Pack a picnic and enjoy the fresh air. There are plenty of picnic tables throughout the park, along with restrooms and water fountains. The playground makes a great family-friendly destination, and the whole park is dog friendly.

Simple Kitchen Organization Tips
February 4, 2014 by
Kitchens are often cluttered with pots and pans, spices, snacks and leftovers. But these brilliant tips from handy home websites will help you organize your kitchen at The Augusta!
Try a Lazy Susan
These revolving trays are helpful anywhere that clutter normally takes over, including spice shelves, snack cabinets and even the refrigerator.
Store items by frequency of use
In cabinets and drawers, pull things that you use every day to the front or put them on the lowest shelves, and leave the rest for the hard-to-reach places.
File plastic containers
Rather than stacking the lids of plastic leftover containers in a messy pile, file them in a drawer like you would papers.
Get a chalkboard
It can serve as a fun grocery list, silly message board or even a calendar for the whole family.
Place a wire shelf in the fridge
Add more storage in cramped refrigerators with elevated wire shelving.

Can You Solve These Math Problems?
January 21, 2014 by
Enjoy working out a math problem proof? Can you solve the following math problems?
If so, congratulations! The following problems have not yet been solved by anybody else. Since they're so challenging, mathemeticians have even established a million dollar prize for solving one of the "Millenium Prize Problems," including the first of these three problems:
Reimann Hypothesis
The Reimann Hypothesis forms the basis of many other important mathematical conjectures, including important work related to the distribution of prime numbers presented by prime number theorem. Yet the Reimann Hypothesis itself remains unsolved.
Goldbach's Conjecture
Goldbach's Conjecture states something seemingly obvious: "every even integer greater than 2 can be expressed as the sum of two primes." But although it's been demonstrated in practice for some very, very large integers, Goldbach's Conjecture has not yet been proven to be true for all integers above two.
Odd Perfect Numbers
Perfect numbers? In number theory, perfect numbers are positive integers that are equal to the sum total of all their positive divisors excluding the number itself. For instance, 6 is a perfect number because its divisors are 1, 2, and 3 and those numbers add up to 6. Although perfect numbers were first discovered hundreds of years ago, mathemeticians have yet to prove whether or not there are any odd perfect numbers.
