Written by Lynn Glenn. Smith Machine Squat can be used as an alternative e xercise to the barbell squats for develop ing the Quadriceps (quads) and Gluteus Maximu s (glutes). For novices, the Smith Machine can be use to familiarize oneself with the squat movement, particularly with a trainer's assistance. For more advanced weight trainers, Smith Machine can be implemented periodically after the squat has become stale (yielding less progress as when originally performed).
Beadboard is a decorative style of wood paneling that has evenly spaced grooves on the surface. It's popular for use in cottage or Cape Cod style homes and furniture. Beadboard is usually installed vertically, although some people install it horizontally for a different look.
A bead is a small, decorative object that is formed in a variety of shapes and sizes of a material such as stone, bone, shell, glass, plastic, wood or pearl and that a small hole is drilled for threading or stringing. Beads range in size from under 1 millimetre (0.039 in) to over 1 centimetre (0.39 in) in diameter. A pair of beads made from Nassarius sea snail shells, approximately 100,000 years old, are thought to be the earliest known examples of jewellery.
