About the brand Yankee Candle
In 1969, a poor American high school student called Mike Kittredge decided to give his mother a homemade candle for Christmas. Despite the fact he only used everyday things he had collected around the home (an empty milk carton, crayons, etc.), what he created was truly breathtaking. As fate would have it, before Christmas Day even came around, a neighbour spotted the candle and was so impressed that she offered the talented young man $1.36. Thus began the history of the Yankee Candle brand.
The intention of Yankee Candle is to supply products that reflect their passion for beautiful scents and can evoke strong emotions in people. We should add that this philosophy has truly paid off, because the brand is now at the very top in its field (in the USA alone, it has over 18,000 stores). Yankee Candle's broad selection includes several themed lines, from fruit to spice to the scents of experiences and life events. There are also various special editions such as collectors', Halloween, platinum, and many more.
Yankee Candles contain the highest possible amount of aromatic oils, prepared especially for the company's needs. With their help, you can evoke a sensational, unforgettable atmosphere in your home. Whether it should be festive, erotic, or relaxing is entirely up to you! Yankee Candle is sure to appeal to anyone who wants to have a wonderfully aromatic home, who is fond of high quality and authenticity, and is looking for pretty but practical home accessories.

BMW 645Ci Radiator Fan Assembly Replacement Cost
Know what price you should pay to get your vehicle fixed.

What is a radiator fan assembly?
Radiators use airflow to cool the engine. The radiator cooling fan is a powerful fan that can create additional airflow when needed.
How does the radiator fan assembly work?
The engine cooling system uses the radiator to cool the hot engine coolant as it comes from the engine. Hot engine coolant is pumped into the radiator when the thermostat opens, and the radiator sends the coolant through a set of coils to be cooled. The radiator uses airflow to cool the radiator coils, and small metal fins attached to the radiator coils help to increase cooling efficiency. This process occurs the entire time the engine is running, and prevents the vehicle from overheating.
What are the symptoms related to a bad radiator fan assembly?
When the radiator fans stop functioning properly, the engine temperature will rise as there will be insufficient airflow to cool the radiator. The spike in temperature will be the highest when the vehicle is idling at a stop light, but should subside once the vehicle begins moving again. Also, the air conditioner may become inefficient, and air from the vents would be warmer than usual. This is because the air from the radiator fans also pull air across the air conditioning condenser, and when they fail, both systems suffer. Lastly, the higher than normal engine temperatures can lead to reduced fuel mileage, and the check engine light with on-board diagnostics (OBD) trouble codes stored in reference to the exhaust system, and engine coolant temperature.
Can I drive with a radiator fan assembly problem?
Driving a vehicle with a faulty engine cooling system can result in overheating, cylinder head gasket failure, engine block failure, or cylinder head warping. It is never recommended, or may be impossible to drive a vehicle with engine cooling issues, especially with modern engine casting materials. Additionally, the operating conditions for the engine may cause fouling of the catalyst, and oxygen sensors.
How often do radiator fan assemblies need to be replaced?
Radiator and air conditioning cooling fans fail, but not at a very high rate. Most vehicles will never need one replaced, but those that do are usually from collisions or engine overheating. The motors are built very well, and they tend to function well for quite some time.
How are radiator fan assembly issues diagnosed?
When diagnosing a check engine light in conjunction with overheating, the servicing technician will connect a professional scan tool or computer to the vehicle via the on-board diagnostics port under the dashboard. Reading information stored by the vehicle's computer, and comparing that data to actual conditions will lead the technician to components which he may suspect of failure in short order. This may require mechanical and electrical testing, and will typically take about an hour to prove a guaranteed diagnosis and solution.
How is a radiator fan assembly replaced?
Being located directly between the radiator and the engine put the radiator fan in a seemingly difficult place for replacement, but it actually slides out very easily on most vehicles. The battery will be disconnected, then the fan connector will be unplugged, and retaining hardware for the upper fan will be removed prior to sliding the fan out of the top or bottom of the engine bay. Some plastic guards will need to be removed from the undercarriage of the vehicle in order to access any retaining hardware.
RepairPal Recommendations for radiator fan assembly issues
There are many universal radiator cooling fans available for purchase, but the reliability of these fans is unknown. It is best to purchase the fan made for the vehicle, which will plug right into the vehicle.
What to look out for when dealing with radiator fan assembly issues
If the radiator fan has failed, excess load is being placed on the A/C fan if the A/C fan is also in front of the radiator. This fan will keep the engine cool, but will be overworked quickly by the higher temperatures present without the radiator fan. When the second fan eventually fails, the engine will overheat anytime the vehicle is driven.
Can I replace the radiator fan assembly myself?
Radiator fan diagnostics will be easy for many people, but a little knowledge of electrical circuits, and when the fan should run, is needed to accurately diagnose the fan. If the fan has been diagnosed as bad, and the repair is done patiently, radiator fan replacement could be a great DIY project.

Stitching On
97 years. We said goodbye to Jeff's Grandma yesterday, mostly just family gathered to remember and celebrate such a long, long life. I brought the baby and Roman a little later than everyone else to accommodate my nursing schedule and a long day for little ones. We turned into the cemetery and after a quick look around through the car windows and sweltering heat, Roman asked, "Is Nani here?" We've always called my mom Nani. "Nani is everywhere, sweetie'" I imagined out loud. "Her name is here now... on a pretty bronze plate, would you like to go and see it after we pray for Great Grandma?" A very firm and excited yes from the boy. I've done the simple arithmetic in my head at least 100 times. 97-68=29yrs. Then the question. Why one so long, and another not nearly? I will never know. And it's not important, but the math. Over and over. We were glad for this sweet old woman, breathing her last, after wishing for it almost everyday since she lost her husband. I think she finally just willed it to happen, and it was granted. As we said our goodbyes under the small tent, I couldn't help but peer through some heads to my mother's resting place, a few hundred yards away. Could I see it? Yes, just past the statue of Ruth, just on top of that stone wall, and one row over... the pink and white flowers I could barely make them out I thought. Just past the bright yellow. And every few minutes I kept checking. Could I still see it? Yes. Still? Yes. Right There. I held Roman's sweaty little palm and we walked down the hill, carefully over and around other names, years, grass, anthills, flowers, hopes. We edged along the road towards her name, so much heat. He insisted on balancing along the curb, one foot in front of the other, which made us go slowly. My mind slower. Forced all of me to make the walk. My head, heart and body. I shed my black sweater. The same one I wore in those days. The black dress. The same one I wore that day. I recalled (for the 1000th time) how I told her I was not going to buy a black maternity dress. Right after she told me who should be her pall bearers. It was March, almost Spring. "Well okay, I don't think you'll have too," she said with the sweetest smile. But I did. I told myself that since it was also a nursing dress, that I would be nursing in it by the time I needed it, certainly. Certainly. Certainly. The math. Only a few months till the baby comes. Certainly I'll have them both. Together. At least for the tiniest amount of time.
Today I am in control of the smallest little things. Some thread. Some fabric. Should I nurse at 11:15? Or 11:20? I'll decide and then that will be what happens. And I will stitch on and on and on. Spring. Summer. Even now Fall. I go.
We reached her plate, Roman rubbed his hands over the letters, but quickly pulled back from the piping hot metal. Then he wanted to get in the shade with his sister under the huge oak tree nearby so he ran, dodging plates, and I felt he should be more careful, or respectful. Or that he should linger with me there longer, over her grave. But then I corrected the thoughts. And watched his joy with my own. Because she is everywhere. xoxoAM

Oh Anna, I am so so touched and teary eyes...ReplyDelete
I am sure she is everywhere!
Maybe you already know this piece of Mary Elizabeth Frye. It helped me a lot whenever someone left my life, maybe it helps you too:
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.Replies
Thank you for the beautiful reminder of this writing! So inspired. <3Delete
I don't know if I posses the words to make this comment sounds as sincere as I would like it to be, but I hope in some way you can grasp my sentiments despite distance and strangeness and the rawness of such pain. I have loved your work for a long time though rarely comment, but just wanted to say I am thinking of you and praying for your family and that you may find some peace in the strength and joy of each other. Your writing is so clear and strong, so true...it seems she must live on in all the words and beautiful things you create.ReplyDelete
hugs to you, anna. xo.ReplyDelete
You know, you are really awesome. I have been reading you blog about a year now, and am always amazed at how you can write! Always so meaningful, and descriptive! I can never stop reading till I reach the end. I am so sorry for another loss. I just wonder at your glorious attitude, you level of love for everyone, and your activity level. It's amazing. Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
Hugs to you and your family,
I am sure your mother knew in life how much she was loved by you and your family. It is so clear in everything you writeReplyDelete
Beautifully expressed.ReplyDelete
Hugs to you and your family!ReplyDelete
You know it doesn't matter how long a person was here on this earth, it only matters that you loved them fiercely while they were here and that they never leave your heart. My brother lost his 57 yr old wife last year to cancer, I told him to look at his children, and his grandchildren - you can see your wife right there -still living - for you to enjoy everyday that you are still here. I grieve for my Mama who died this June, she was my best buddy, she lived a long 87 yrs. I see here in me and my daughter, and in my brother and his children and their children - her life goes on and on. Bless you for posting your thoughts, it's so important for your soul. Ani in NCReplyDelete
Thank you, Anna Maria. You have consoled so many of us.ReplyDelete
What a beautiful remembrance of your mother. I relate so much to you because my Dad died almost a year ago from cancer. It was unexpected and quick (only 2 1/2 months from diagnosis)and he was far too young, only 65. I think about you often. I love the idea that she is everywhere, so is my Daddy. hugsReplyDelete
I am sorry for your loss. If you ever decide to take a break from textiles, I am certain that you would have great success as a writer. Wishing you some joy today.ReplyDelete
just beautiful.lovely. thankyou for sharing your sorrow and comfort with us.. it is such a painful journey and yet so moving. lovetoyous. xoxoReplyDelete
Thank you for sharing these beautiful thoughts with us. I was deeply touched by your words and all they conveyed.ReplyDelete
So beautiful. I lost my mom to ovarian cancer on May 26th. I miss her so much. I just want to talk to her again and tell her what's going on in my life. She was my best friend, and it just doesn't feel the same when I talk to my fiends and family. I know she's around me, but it's still so hard and empty. I just want you to know that your posts really touch my heart and make me feel better. I'm glad my mom isn't suffering anymore, but I really miss taking care of her. XOXOReplyDeleteReplies
I understand and share your every word. Sending love, xoxoAMDelete
((AM)) yes, the math is the only thing keeping us from coming completely unraveled sometimes.ReplyDelete
Thinking of you.
I lost my mom to cancer on Jul 11 this year, soon after you lost yours and my mother was also 68 when she passed away. You know, I cried when I was reading your post after your mom passed away, because my mom was sick at the time and I knew she did not have much longer either. You have no idea how many times I did similar math in my head and asked myself, why. Why are some people so blessed to have their parents or even grandparents to live well after 90 and my mother died at such a young age and so suddenly? It makes me feel a little better thinking that she is in a better place now. Both of them. Thinking of you.ReplyDelete
I am behind on your blogs but wanted to comment to you. I am one of her quilting friends that met in NC. We shared the same cabin the last year she was able to attend.ReplyDelete
We laughed at the stores she told about her wonderful family and the grandkids. I smile because I knew her.
