    Many people purchase bedding without even realizing what the thread count means. In technical terms, the thread count equals the number of threads which are sewn together in each square inch. You would count both lengthwise and widthwise. For example, if there were 100 threads across and 100 threads up and down, that produces a thread count of 200. So a 550 thread count means that there are 275 threads lengthwise and 275 threads widthwise.               A circular tablecloth is one that fits a round table.

    Recording studios are acoustically treated not just to prevent the entrance and exit of noise and sound, but also to create an atmosphere where recordings and mixes can be created with the most clarity and accuracy possible. This is difficult, because sound waves travel at different frequencies, reflect off of surroundings and pass through others.
