Fans are economical devices which provide an adequate amount of air to the surroundings. The number of blades in the fan is not an issue, but the curves in each blade determine the amount of air circulation. Moreover, fans are also of various types of ceiling fans, table fans, pedestal fans, etc.
The ceiling fans when newly purchased would work well and also the esteemed look of the new product would be outstanding. As time fleets, the design of the ceiling fan would deteriorate due to weathering and the accumulation of dust which happens eventually.
The performance of the ceiling fan would also start to decline. At this juncture, mechanical enthusiasts at home would take a chance in remodelling the ceiling fan. These enthusiasts might be either experts or amateurs.
They bring down this aged ceiling fan and start ripping it apart to change the blades with homemade stuff and to design it as per their wish to boost up the look and the performance of the ceiling fan. Here are some techniques which would support such enthusiasts to customize their ceiling fan. Scroll your mouse to have a glance at it.
Ceiling Fans Ideas
The first part of such ripping schedule would be painting because it is an exciting and colourful job for most of the teenagers. Painting it with a simple colour would not make sense because it would look plain.
Patterns can be painted over the blades to show a great spectrum of colours while the fan rotates. If the fan has a lamp at its doom, then visualizing perfect blending of colours would be mind-blowing. Colours can also be mixed to produce a spectral appearance of a rainbow.
Double Fan
The double fan technique is a method of building a durable shaft which runs perpendicular to the axis of the motor and parallel to the ground surface. The centre of this shaft should be fixed to the motor shaft. Now, both the free ends of the shaft would be attached with two fans with small blades.
All the three fans are connected to the power and therefore these three fans spin at the same time. The main motor rotates the other two motors, whereas the other two motors spin to circulate the air. But, if not mounted this design properly could be dangerous also. Moreover, energy consumption of this DIY ceiling fan would be high as it runs three motors.
Skateboard Design
A ceiling fan contains many numbers of parts of which blades would be easily remodelled or replaced. Unused skateboards in the barn can be dismantled from other parts like raisers, wheels and drilled appropriately with the exact measurement of the previous fan blades and fixed to the doom of the motor. But make sure about its weight and inclination before installing to the doom. Since skateboards are made of wood there is a possibility for the blades to crack and so frequent inspection of the ceiling fan becomes essential.
Encasing the Light
Many modernized ceiling fans are manufactured with the availability of the LED bulb at the doom part of the ceiling fan. When the light is switched on, due to the rotation of the fan, there is a flickering shadow of the blades which can be seen on the bed thus irritating the user's eyes.
Switching the light OFF would not allow you to see anything even with the minimum visibility. To overcome this issue, the light in the doom can be encased inside a tempered lampshade which would not provide any such sort of irritating reflection.
High Surface Area Designs
A typical ceiling fan spins with its blades at a regular speed. What would happen if we increase the surface area of the blades? In this technique, each blade of the ceiling fan is fixed with a designed wood or synthetic material which when spins with the fan bring down the turbulent flow of air. The drag force for the fan would be high so that it can break the blades too. So, care should be taken such that it is not run at high speed.
Re-organized Blades
It involves the removal of the regular blades from its doom and just using the motor part of the fan. The centre shaft is connected to a metal frame of concentric rings. Cheap metal is cut and fixed in the place of blades which are tilted at a particular angle to maintain proper airflow. The number of the blades used would be higher in this model and also it could be dangerous also.
Comic Effect
Some comics like Batman, Superman, and Captain America have been in existence till date. Many kids and adults have a high affinity for such comics which induce patriotism and national interest in their minds. The images of the comic heroes can be stuck on the blades of the ceiling fan with illuminating stickers to see the illusion made by the stickers after the lamp is switched off.
Pulley with Motor
A typical ceiling fan is a mutated form of an ordinary motor whose speed can be adjusted with specific controls. In this technique, the doom part along with the blade serves as one part which is fixed in the ceiling just above the bed. The other part is the motor which is fixed separately; the connection between these two parts are made with a belt which runs from the motor to the doom assembly through a pulley.
Origami Style
Origami is a floral design made with colourful papers. There are also origami techniques to develop 3d models. Such 3d models can be crafted and fixed around the casing of the doom light of a ceiling fan. It will provide a glamorous and romantic soft light around the ceiling fan.
Murals are paintings done on the walls. About ceiling fans, murals can be drawn on the ceiling which matches with the fan foreground. Windmill, helicopter, wheel of a chariot are some of the murals which would suit the scene. Moreover, 3d structures can also be employed to bring out similar output.

Green Bean Face
Periodically I would try again. Her brother loves them, so they are a frequent part of our dinners, but she always refuses. Finally the other night she announced to me that since she's three now, she likes green beans, and she specifically asked for them with dinner. Sure thing! I'm not going to deny a kid asking for a vegetable.
I was skeptical, but I served them. My son of course gobbled his up right away. His sister saved them for the very end, carefully eyeing them the whole time, but several times assuring me that she does like them. Finally she finished the rest of her plate, and took a bite.
My son was excited. Since green beans are one of his favorites, he really wanted her to like them too. As soon as she put it in her mouth he said enthusiastically "Aren't they good?!" Completely unaware of her expression, he went on the entire time she was chewing. "They're good, aren't they? Green beans are SO yummy! Aren't they yummy? Don't you like them?" Finally, exasperated, he said "Say something!"
I couldn't help but be amused as I watched, both by his enthusiasm and by her pained expression. She was so determined to finish the bean, and yet it was so very obviously a struggle. Finally she choked it down, and looking at me with a mixture of shame, disappointment, and pain, she said in a tiny voice "Mommy, I don't like it." She visibly relaxed when I assured her that she didn't have to finish them.
Frankly, I'm ok with her not liking green beans, and don't feel the need to force her to eat them. But that's only because there are plenty of other vegetables that she does love. And because I know first hand that not every person likes every vegetable out there. Most adults that I know have at least one or two that they won't touch.
For me it's celery. Never could stand the stuff. Mostly it's the texture, but the smell and the taste rank right up there. And it wasn't until I was an adult that I realized it was ok to not eat something that grossed me out, even if it was "good for me." I'll get my nutrients from all of the other vegetables that I like, thank you very much. And don't even try to disguise it, by the way. For years my parents tried the whole peanut-butter-and-celery thing. To me, it always just seemed like a gigantic waste of perfectly good peanut butter.
So yes, eat your vegetables. And make sure your kids are eating vegetables. But pick your battles, as they say. And remember that not everyone likes everything. There are plenty of options out there, so chances are you can find something that your kid does like.
For both of mine, ironically, the favorite vegetable of choice has always been celery. Go figure.

What a great learning opportunity for everyone! Cutie recognized she can (and sometimes should) change; we all know that her tastes, her needs, and many other things about her will change many times, within or without her control. As much as Sweetie promoted and encouraged, and as much as Cutie appreciates and admires her brother's example, and as hard as she tried to meet his positive expectation, she chose not to pretend. That headstrong darling was able to admit she was wrong, even though she knew it would disappoint those whose approval is important to her. That's brave. She's developing a strength of character that, when she's a teenager, will feed both your confidence and your fears.ReplyDelete
She does sometimes seem wise beyond her years, doesn't she? It was definitely a great dinner conversation that night.ReplyDelete
I'm SO not ready for the teenage years. Glad I still have a while before they hit. :)
Amusing follow-up: We stopped for dinner on our way home from San Diego, and I happened to have green beans with my meal. I jokingly asked her if she wanted some, and she said "No. I'll try them when I'm 4." You have to appreciate her determination. :)ReplyDelete

Girls' Generation
January 11, 2011
It seems like a lot more people are checking our site lately and it may be due to an increase in the variety of things we've been posting about lately. So in an attempt to snake in some Korean Pop fans, here is a band I've been borderline obsessed with lately. Girls' Generation is a nine piece all female, super-cute pop group that has some impressive songwriting skills (or whoever writes their songs) and awesome dance moves. Yep, I said it. If they wanted some U.S. Tape distro from us I'm pretty sure we could make that happen!

Kids always love a good adventure. Whether they're pretending to be pirates on the open sea or cowboys in the Wild West, activating your child's imagination is a window into another time. At GUSELLA, we love creative play, and we're also big fans of teaching kids new things while they are playing. In this age where mobile phones and GPS-enabled apps are everywhere, we've compiled this list of some of the best navigation tips for kids. We've also included some easy ways you can incorporate these navigation tips into fun games for your kids to play while they learn them!
Start Simple: A Compass
Compasses are one of the oldest navigational tools still heavily used today and are available in abundance. Despite all of the digital compasses, the classic ones still work like a charm!
For this tip, find a classic compass at your local hardware or sporting goods store. You can usually find one that is quite inexpensive and that still can handle the job.
Starting your kids out with a compass is a great way to get them into thinking about navigation and the basics of how to get from one place to another (without using their phone!). First, orient them and teach them the basic navigational directions: North, South, East, and West. Explain that the compass works by pointing to the North. Kids always get excited when they hear there is a "big magnet" at the North Pole that makes the compass needle point that way.
Making a Game
Now that your kids have a basic idea of how to use the compass, it's time to make a game out of it! An easy way to engage your kids is to identify recognizable objects around your neighborhood or–better yet–a park with lots of fun statues or landmarks.
Then, have them hold the compass and slowly turn as they identify the objects. Have them say whether a certain statue or a fountain is "due East" or "due West." This is a really simple game, and it is a great introduction into navigation for kids!
Advanced Tricks
As your kids get more and more used to using a compass (and the idea of "navigation" in general), you can begin to teach them some of the more "natural" ways to tell which direction they are heading, even if they don't have a compass!
The Sun Rises….
Around the world, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. This is easy for kids to remember since they see the sun rise and set every day. So, if they can find east or west depending on how the sun is moving, you can help them decipher where north and south are from the sun's position and movement in the sky.
Take a Hike
When you're in the woods, sometimes it can be tricky to see which way the sun is moving. In that case, look for moss on rocks, trees, or logs. If you're in the Northern Hemisphere, moss will grow on the north side of rocks, trees, and logs. In the Southern Hemisphere, it grows on the southside of rocks, trees, and logs.
Time for a Drive!
Next time you and the family go out for a drive, take a map with you. Tell your children where you are leaving from on the map. Then, tell them where you want to drive to. Once they find your destination on the map, tell them that they're in charge of giving you directions on how to get there!
Instead of saying "Turn left on Maple St.," have them use directions, like "Turn north on Maple St." This is a game that may require a little bit of patience (and maybe some extra time!) in case your kids accidentally give you the wrong directions.
But, when you get to your destination–thanks to their navigational savvy–they'll burst with pride at a job well done, and you'll be happy to know that they learned a bit about navigation!
No matter what you do to teach your kids navigation, remember that it is a lifelong skill that they can take with them no matter where they are. At GUSELLA, we love involving our kids, and yours, in fun, educational games that teach them important life skills. So, next time you're out and about, see where the sun is, and get ready for a game!

So You Got A 4K UHD TV? Our 5 Step Guide To Getting The Most From It
Stephan Jukic – January 04, 2019
The Holidays are over, some of the best electronics deals of the year have also passed with them and maybe if you were a bit lucky, you've now got yourself a brand new 4K HDR TV that somebody gifted or you bought. This is great! If you use the TV right and it's one of the better models (budget or premium because both exist) you can keep it for years and get awesome home theater performance even as new technologies come out.
However, before you sit everyone down before the new set in the living room and kick off your next Netflix binge in 4K with HDR, there are a few extra things you can easily do first to make that new television function at its absolute possible best for any kind of content you can throw at it (and especially ultra HD programming with high dynamic range built into it).
So here are some essential steps to take, though they're all purely optional and best of all, some of them are also completely free. You can of course also just watch the TV right out of the box and it might be okay that way too, but we really do recommend following through with at least a couple of these.
Our main TVs Page offers our 2018/2019 rankings of the absolute best 4K UHD HDR options, categorized by budget.
Placing Your 4K TV
This sort of seems like a no-brainer, one of those things nobody needs any advice on, but there is actually a funny bit of detail to it. Placing a new 4K TV, and especially one that's going to be the home entertainment centerpiece of your entire home instead of just a new studio or bedroom TV, is a crucial task. You have to take into account viewing angles, distances, lighting and though this is all simple stuff, it has a major effect on viewing experience.
The basics here are that first of all, your new TV should be placed so that the maximum number of seats (sofas, love seats etc) are as close as possible to the front of the TV instead of off to one angle. Even if these sears have to be a bit further away than recommended, in-front placement is ideal. The reason for this is that most LCD 4K TVs today come with Vertical Alignment screen technology, meaning that their rectangular pixels align vertically. This is superb for deep blacks and strong contrast but it also means poor picture quality when such a TV is viewed from off center. IPS 4K TVs (mainly made by LG, for their LCD TVs, and Sony for some of its XBR-Series models) and OLED 4K TVs don't have this problem and conserve high picture quality even at extreme angles.

Secondly, your 4K TV should compete as little as possible with sources of external lighting and sunlight in particular. Today's HDR 4K TVs and especially any premium UHD TV from 2018 or 2017 offer such high picture brightness that they hold their own quite well against indirect sunlight or nearby windows and lamps but not even the best TV will deliver ideal picture clarity if its screen is being hit by or competing against direct sunlight.
As for viewing distances, a good rule of thumb is that a 50-55 inch 4K TV can be comfortably viewed from roughly 8 to 10 feet away, while each additional 10 inches of display size let you place it a further 3 or 4 feet away without feeling like it's too far removed from your viewing area.
On a final note for this section, bear in mind that pretty much all 4K TVs sold today can also be wall-mounted with VESA brackets, so if there's no space along your furniture tops in the living room for the TV, you can just plant it against the wall. This is a particularly good idea for 4K TVs with slightly wobbly integrated stands (and there are some like this, particularly cheaper models).
Setup and Connectivity Details
Aside from considerations of lighting, viewing angle and viewing distance affecting how well your 4K TV displays content, you should also take into account connectivity logistics. In other words, TV placement should also be ideal for the sake of direct access to WiFi signal strength and connectivity to TV antennas or Ethernet cables. If this means adjusting where you place yur modem in your house, that's probably better than having to shift the TV to a crappy position in your living room, studio or den but the key thing to keep in mind is that WiFi signals should reach the television as directly and with as few physical obstructions as possible and for maximally consistent connectivity, you should simply hook the 4K HDR TV up to your router or modem's Ethernet connection with a short distance between the two if possible. This is particularly crucial if your home internet connection is only just above the 20 to 25 consistent Mbps necessary for streaming of 4K UHD HDR content. In this case, WiFi might deliver a signal that sometimes drops too much while Ethernet connectivity will do this much less.
Remember that modern smart TVs of all kinds live and die by access to internet-streamed content from all the numerous apps they have on them. This applies especially to 4K UHD and HDR content, which is much more common on streaming service sources than any broadcast TV provider. Thus if you want to enjoy the best of Netflix, Amazon, Hulu or Vudu in ultra HD, you need to keep those 20 to 25 or more Mbps flowing to your TV consistently.
External media sources like 4K Blu-ray players and VOD movie boxes deliver content to your TV via HDMI so they should be okay even with weak internet connectivity but if these external devices get their own 4K content from streaming media apps, the same internet access considerations for WiFi and Ethernet apply to them just as they would to your television. This of course means that if for some reason your TV can't easily be placed for maximal internet access, a work-around option is to use an external streaming media platform for as your smart TV app interface and place that external device closer to better WiFi or Ethernet connectivity, then run an HDMI cable to your TV itself for a consistent signal strength. (We'll cover media device options even more a bit further down in this post).
As for the HDMI cables themselves, we cover these in complete detail here in this post but to summarize here, almost any HDMI cable labeled "High Speed" and if possible with a "Premium Certified" logo plastered to its packaging will be perfectly fine for all 4K UHD HDR content of any kind from any media source. These can be bought generically from brands like Amazon Basic or Monoprice without costing more than a few bucks for at least 6 feet of cable (more than enough for most TVs). You DO NOT need to spend a fortune on HDMI cables that promise any additional "special" 4K features besides those with the above labels. Some manufacturers sell these for much higher prices but their hype is completely irrelevant for 4K HDR picture quality.
Finally, bear in mind as well that while all 4K TVs now come with 4K HDR-capable HDMI connection ports (HDMI 2.0a standard), some TVs don't have this feature in all of their 3 or 4 HDMI ports. In many models only a couple of the connectivity slots for HDMI will offer this kind of support. The others will be of the older HDMI 1.4 variety, which does not support HDR or 4K at more than 30fps. Make sure you're connecting your external HDMI-linked media devices for 4K video to one of your TVs more advanced HDMI ports.
Internet Speed and Entertainment Options
The above of course also means we have to mention an obvious related point for actually getting 4K resolution in video on your new 4K TV: You will absolutely need at least 20 to 25 consistent Mbps of broadband speed to make it work from any streaming source like Netflix, Amazon and etc. So upgrade your internet if it's not up to par and if for some reason you can't in your area, well there are always VOD (downloaded movie) set-top box options or 4K Blu-ray players as options for 4K home entertainment, as we mentioned above.
All 4K Blu-ray movies come with HDR formatting as well and the selection of available titles available from retailers like Best Buy and Amazon is now remarkably extensive, with well over 250 different movies, show series box sets and documentaries and so forth to choose from. Streaming media without enough internet speed for 4K resolution will also automatically upscale on your 4K TV so that it looks sharper than it would on a normal HDTV. This feature of 4K TVs isn't simple hype either by the way. It really does work and the difference in quality is visible to the naked eye.
Calibration and Settings
Now that you've got your TV fully installed, ideally placed and hokked up to the internet or external media devices for the best you can get in 4K HDR entertainment options, you need to make sure that it's outputting picture quality at its best possible levels. This will probably mean doing a bit of manual TV calibration depending on your preferences. Sony's new Master Sereis A9F and Z9F 4K HDR TVs come with pre-calibrated picture settings that are designed to be as close to "production ideal" as possible but that cool little manufacturer feature doesn't apply to most other 4K TV units from any major brand. Thus:
You can do things quickly by going into your TVs menu settings for picture modes (different models and smart TV platform will have these labeled differently) and changing around color temperature, contrast, peak brightness, motion handling and other specs until the content you view most often looks as good as it can to you. This is something that you can do manually or you can also go online and see the "ideal" calibration settings for your specific 4K TV. Another, even more precise calibration option is to get a disk like the "Disney WOW: World of Wonder" DVD. No, we're not kidding, it consists of numerous specific images and color/contrast test patterns designed to let you calibrate your TV professionally based on how your adjustments affect them.
We should also mention motion handling and interpolation here: Almost all 4K TVs come with some sort of motion interpolation technology that speeds up the speed and smoothness of content. This is technology might be called "Motionflow" (Sony) or "AutoMotion Plus" (Samsung) or "TruMotion" (LG) depending on your TV brand but in all cases, one thing it does create is a strange sort of overly clear movement handling that's called the "soap opera effect" due to its distortions of normal cinematic frame rate flow. Some people don't mind or even love how this looks, others hate it. You decide and know that it can be turned off or on by reducing or increasing your motion interpolation setting in your TV, respectively.

Media Device Options
Moving back to media devices, we mention them because not all native smart TV platforms are equal in their access to content or the quality of their user interface. If this is the case with your particular new 4K ultra HD TV, it's no problem at all since you can just plug in an external streaming media player like the Amazon Fire, the Roku Premium, Ultra or other Roku 4K HDR devices, or something a bit pricier and fancier like Apple TV 4K, with its access to the giant iTunes ultra HD movie library. All of these cost money but they offer a whole new level of smart functionality and app access that can be used on top of what your TV offers by itself. They all connect via HDMI so bear in mind our points above on HDMI connectivity.

In our comprehensive Devices page, we cover the whole range of today's diverse media streaming devices, from cheap little 4K streaming sticks like the Roku Streaming Stick + to the pricey Apple TV 4K or even satellite 4K broadcast set-top DVRs.
Making Your Audio Awesome
Finally, we need to mention audio. Your 4K HDR TV will likely have modestly decent native sound power for really basic casual TV watching and late night movies but some budget models don't even quite deliver what we'd call decent audio. Furthermore, though claims that no 4K TV ever delivers good audio are badly exaggerated, the internal audio of any 4K TV (even expensive ultra-premium models) is never truly excellent in our experience. Thus if you do really need some more serious auditory kick for your favorite action movies, music or sportscasts, we'd recommend getting an external sound bar or speaker system. Lots of options are available and even very affordable ones will really move the quality of your audio up several notches.
If you are going for a sound bar, one of our most absolutely highly recommended options is the VIZIO SB3621n-F8M 36″ 2.1 Channel sound bar system linked to below. It's by far the cheapest really excellent 4K TV audio package we know of right now.

A half block away from the Bird in Hand, the Havelock Tavern was my last hope for a place that would have — with no prompting from me — some Dylan on the piped in music (I had this ill-advised idea that I could bar-hop and listen to the new Nobel Laureate's back catalog). The bar looked spare and busy and a bit more eclectic than the others but I was glared at almost immediately by a bartender I'll call Beardy McOneSleeveTats (shit, more fucking hipsters).
There were also way too many Americans stinking up the joint but the menu looked fantastic — if I was eating there that evening I would definitely have killed the roasted 1/2 pheasant with cauliflower and cabbage (only £13, about the same as 3 pints of the Hell's Pilsner I was enjoying).
Then, the most marvelous sequence of events took place.
At the opposite side of the bar there was a table of a bunch of Russian kids, six of them about 20-25 years old. They had been pounding drinks and twice I saw tequila rounds executed. It looked the place to be if you were that age and they seemed to be having a great time and would be violently ill in the morning (and probably later this evening). I had to pass by them to get to the loo and a verrrry drunk Brit coming out at the same time hit one of their chairs with the door.
He started apologising in a very Ealing Comedies kind of way, more of a drunk from the 1950s than 2016; none of them seemed to know what he was on about and he felt it his duty to explain that they should be offended for him hitting them with the door. Pointing at me, one of them said, "our friend here is going to hit you with door, soon."
I went in and drained my bladder then decided to head home when the door crashed open and one of the Russians sort of fell forward into the urinal. His buddy behind him in the tight alcove said, in a great cartoon-Soviet accent, "apologies, sir, but my friend he has been too much drinking."
At this time, the door to the ladies' opened into him and I said to the startled woman in as close to the same accent as I could, "don't mind them… they have been too much drinking." I looked at the kid standing there and as his eyes refocussed, said, "you've got a lot of nerve."
Without missing a beat, his buddy who was still trying to stand up in the loo sang, "to say you are my friend." Just outside the loos at the table, the others instantly joined in with,
"When I was down you just stood there grinnin'.
"You've got a lotta nerve to say you got a helping hand to lend.
"You just want to be on the side that's winnin'."
Sometimes, you get lucky.

History of Thai Yoga Massage
Thai yoga massage is thought to have been founded over 2,500 years ago by an Indian doctor named Jivaka Kumar Bhaccha, who was the private physician to the Buddha. As Buddhism spread throughout Asia, Jivaka's healing techniques traveled with it, ultimately reaching Thailand, where it flourished and evolved in the monasteries. The massage techniques helped the monks to clear tension from their bodies and minds, enabling them to engage in deeper meditative practice. Eventually the modality became popular among farming and fishing families of Thailand, as a way to release tension after a long day of physical labor. Today, it is gaining popularity throughout the world as people experience the many physical, emotional and energetic benefits of this healing art.
Benefits of Thai Yoga Massage
Increases flexibility, joint mobility and range of motion
Improves circulation of blood and lymph
Clears energy blockages
Promotes the release of deep and superficial tension
Reduces stress, and increases vital energy
Stimulates the internal organs
Facilitates deep and rhythmic breathing
What to Expect from Your Session
Thai yoga massage is performed on a cushioned mat on the floor. The client is clothed in loose fitting pants and a comfortable shirt. You may bring or wear your own clothing, or borrow a pair of Thai-style pants for your session. Thai yoga massage is a therapeutic form of bodywork which incorporates deep muscle pressure, assisted yoga-like stretches, acupressure, joint mobilization, warm herbal compresses and energy work. The therapist will use her hands, forearms, elbows, knees and feet to perform compression, assisted stretches, and energy line work. You may be asked to lie on your back, stomach, side or seated on the mat, depending on your individual needs.

A flooded basement…every homeowner's nightmare. As little as one inch of water can take hours to clean up and cause thousands of dollars in damaged furniture and carpets. Sump pumps are your first line of defense in avoiding a flooded basement, but what if it fails? The best way to make sure your home is protected from a sump pump failure is to make sure that you have a battery backup pump. With a battery backup pump, you get several hours of additional protection from water damage.
Primary pumps can fail due to power outages, mechanical failure or excessive use. We can help give you peace of mind with a battery backup sump pump.
With a battery backup sump pump you never have to worry about being away from home during a big rain storm, and we have had our fair share of those already this season in Central Ohio. Our backup pumps automatically switch to battery power when your AC power fails. You can count on them recharging automatically and alarming if the battery needs water, is discharged or needs replaced.
If worrying about a flooded basement keeps you awake during a rain storm or ruins your time while you are away from home. Call our experts today to learn more about how a battery backup sump pump can give you peace of mind.

Fashion is something that is spread over such a broad spectrum yet it comes down to you and your personal style and prefrences.
Being caught up in the glitz and glamour of the outside life, we often forget what truly matters, our soul within.
Just like everything else, being self employed has it's own pros and cons. Being able to work while laying in bed in my PJ's or scheduling meetings as per my convenience or even taking up projects completely based on favouritism are definitely pros! However, doing that also means, meeting lesser people and minimal daily face to face interaction.
Back in April, I was whisked away to an enthralling property nestled in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by nature and complete zen.
For me, blogging started with people sharing fashion ideations. Places they found quirky things, sharing new beauty trends or products, helping the regular girl become the white swan. Now, its gone way beyond that. I now notice people wanting to imitate lifestyles. The way one behaves, the places one goes to, the travels they embark on!

Got a question? We might have the answer here.
A Biennale is an event that happens every two years, usually with an arts or cultural theme.
Our Biennale's aim is to celebrate the creativity of children and young people in Kirklees and to promote the importance of the arts in education at a time when the arts are too often being squeezed out of the curriculum.
There is no other Biennale for children and young people in the UK and Kirklees has an amazing array of arts and cultural organisations and artists working in the area. So, why not bring them altogether to work with young people on creating something spectacular to celebrate the arts and culture in the area? It's definitely something to shout about.
This festival offers an exciting opportunity for arts organisations in Kirklees to come together to create more high-quality creative experiences for children and young people. We did this in the autumn of 2018 by sending artists, writers, performers, dancers, musicians, poets, composers and DJs into primary and secondary schools to work with children and young people to create new artworks. These pieces were then performed, exhibited, recorded, screened and shared at one of our events in November 2018.
If you're an organisation or artist with an arts or cultural event happening during Our Biennale, and you're based in Kirklees, it could become part of Our Biennale. Keep an eye on this website to see if there will be another Biennale in 2020. If so, get in touch with information about your event.
If you are an artist, arts organisation or cultural organisation wondering how you can get involved, then we'd love to hear from you - contact us and say hi.
If you are a business based in Kirklees and you want to know how to support a potential 2020 Biennale, then please email firstname.lastname@example.com
Our Biennale 2018 was the first project of EvoKe - the Cultural and Educational Partnership, providing opportunities for children and young people to benefit from the amazing creative and cultural offer across Kirklees. Read more about EvoKe here.

Afternoon Pearch 5 x 7 Acrylic Bird Painting
I have a wonderful back yard full of trees and bushes with a spectacular water feature. It's a perfect environment for a variety of feathered friends and this was one of them. Thought it was a little late for this little fella to still be in Colorado, but I am glad he stuck around long enough to pose for me none the less.

Two days after Nem's wedding, I made an unpleasant discovery while in the bathroom, one of those things you never want to see when you're in the early stages of pregnancy. It's been a week since that day, and although I've had reassuarance from Internet research and from a friend at the wedding who happens to be a doctor, the "spotting" has gradually turned into more of a slow flow.
Up until today, I've managed to worry just a little, to stay fairly numb and detached. But I made a doctor's appointment, and when I went this afternoon, I broke down in tears as I acknowledged the possibility of miscarriage.
Based on the description of my symptoms, Dr. Patel doesn't think it sounds like I am miscarrying. But when I asked what the symptoms were, he said more bleeding and stronger cramps, which isn't very reassuring, given that I rarely feel cramps. Hell, when I was in labour with Jade, I dilated 4 cm without even really feeling it. And, even as he said it, it was as if the cramps were starting to come.
We did another urine test, which came back positive, though I don't know how reassured I should be, since hCG hormone can stick around for several weeks after a miscarriage.
We're taking a "wait and see" approach for now. Dr. Patel tells me to rest (ha!) and if I believe in God or meditation, well, basically to do whatever helps. The truth is, though, that I'm not feeling much hope at all at the moment.
I know this is why most people don't like to announce a pregnancy until the second trimester, but I'm no good at keeping quiet about myself. I don't want to say what I will do on the next time around, though. I guess part of me is still hoping that THIS time isn't over yet.

Written by Don Byrd
Via Religion Clause, the budget proposal for fiscal year 2019 offered by the White House includes expansive federal funding for school choice programs. If enacted, the $1.1 billion initiative would funnel unprecedented sums of taxpayer money toward private school tuition including religious education as part of a school choice plan allowing parents to choose private and public school options. The White House proposal is the first step toward a planned $100 billion in federal and state school voucher funding.
As I have discussed many times here at the BJC Blog, (most recently here and here) school "choice" programs sound like an expansion of freedom, but in reality are no friend to religious liberty.
Americans United's Maggie Garrett said it well in response to this latest budget proposal:
"Vouchers violate the religious freedom of both taxpayers and religious schools. The government should not compel any citizen to furnish funds in support of a religion with which he or she disagrees – or even a religion with which he or she does agree. Vouchers also threaten the religious liberty and autonomy of religious schools, as vouchers open them up to government audits, monitoring, control and interference from which they would otherwise be exempt."
For more on why school vouchers are a bad idea for both the church and the state, see this 2011 column from the BJC's Holly Hollman.

We understand that kids generally want a jumper themed around the latest Disney, Princess, Marvel or Nickelodeon characters or movies
Past News ReleasesRSS
San Jose, CA (PRWEB) June 30, 2015
San Jose bounce house rental company Bay Area Jump has been providing jump house rentals in San Jose and throughout Northern California for over 10 years. In recognition of Independence Day they have announced a new special. Their 4th of July coupon allows people renting an inflatable to save $10 off the overall price. The deal expires on July 31, 2015 and it can be applied to any inflatable rental but it is not applicable toward other party rentals like chairs. "We wanted to do something special for the Independence Day holiday," says Barney Race, President of Bay Area Jump.
These San Jose bounce house rental experts are trying to set a record this July. "Traditionally it is one of our busiest months of the year, and this year we want to rent more jumpers than ever before. We believe this new coupon for $10 off an inflatable rental will help us get there," says Race. Bay Area Jump handles more jumper rentals in San Jose than any other company and they guarantee on time delivery of all equipment so that the party happens as planned. "We don't want our customers waiting around for the party supplies they ordered. We deliver on time and have everything professionally set up."
There are many companies to choose from for bounce house rentals in San Jose. Bay Area Jump is different because they have the widest selection of jumpers with over 400 to choose from. "We have a huge warehouse filled with jumpers. We also change our jumper selection frequently to make sure we have the latest character jumpers. We understand that kids generally want a jumper themed around the latest Disney, Princess, Marvel or Nickelodeon characters or movies." Bay Area Jump keeps their entire online inventory updated on their website so people can see what is available.
Another important factor that people should consider is cleanliness according to Race. He says that they clean every jumper after every use. This is important because germs and other contaminates accumulate quickly when a large group of adults or children play in the jumper. "We have a team of highly trained experts that are dedicated to cleaning the equipment every time it returns to the warehouse. We want to provide the cleanest and most up to date inflatable rentals available." Bay Area Jump has received the Best of The Bay Award multiple times from KRON4 because they adhere to a higher standard.
Bay Area Jump also offers bounce house rentals in San Francisco and throughout the entire Bay Area. "We have been providing reliable jump house deliveries in SF for over 10 years and we are the largest inflatable rental company serving the Bay Area. If you need a jumper rental anywhere in SF please call us now. We have trucks delivering inflatable rentals and other party rentals daily throughout the summer," says Race.
To learn more about bounce house rentals in San Jose or to learn more about Bay Area Jump please visit their website. People can also read their press releases about winning Best of The Bay. Company information is also available from the reviews customers have left on consumer review sites like Yelp and Google. To take advantage of the new special or to book a jumper right now please call (800) 514-5867 to speak with a friendly customer service representative who can help you with a bounce house rental in San Jose.

Today London's firefighters and their furry colleagues will begin wearing new, gold coloured fire tunics and leggings as modernised personal protective equipment (PPE) is rolled out across the Brigade. It's the biggest kit update for eight years.
The new PPE includes: helmet, tunic, leggings, protective hood, boots (leather and rubber), gloves (two types) and is lighter and more durable.
As well as a distinctive gold colour, which shows up dirt and damage more easily than the old navy coloured kit, there are some new additions which reflect the changing role of the modern firefighter. These include:
Deputy Commissioner Tom George at London Fire Brigade said: "Modern firefighting is so much more than rushing into burning buildings.
We needed a kit that could support and protect crews in a range of incidents whether fighting fires, freeing people trapped in crashed cars or complex rescues from collapsed buildings.
"Tunics and leggings are individually tailored for each firefighter's build and physique so they allow crews to easily get to work whilst keeping them as safe as possible. As you would expect, the PPE underwent rigorous testing by firefighters in real fire conditions and other rescue scenarios.
"One obvious change is the new gold colour which means it's easier to spot if any of the material is damaged. It's important the public know what our staff look like when they see crews out and about.
"We've come a long way since the days of woollen tunics and plastic yellow leggings and the iconic thin plastic yellow leggings. This new kit is the gold standard."
All 4,800 of London's firefighters and officers, and our two fire investigation dogs will be wearing their new kit from October 31st.
The final design was part of a collaborative procurement process between fire and rescue services from across the UK.
As well as helping to reduce costs and avoid duplicating work, the joint project allowed the Brigade to pool knowledge and technical expertise, to make the uniform the very best in firefighting protective clothing.

After publishing "Before and after" contri, we got many nice comments from people who loved my girlfriend's natural unshaved pussy. These pics are especially for them. If you don't like'em - well - please understand that they simply ain't for you and don't vote'em poor.

sexy granny at beachgata linda!! She is known as blonde sweety (blondsweety), an austrian girl from Vienna.
