Although many of the content provide helpful pointers, it is important to consider that not any two people will probably be exactly the same generally. Therefore , it can also be difficult to extend and apply some of the assistance found in a person column to yours situation. However , there are some general pieces of tips that can be useful to anyone looking for dating help and advice.
First of all, you should remember to have feedback by others with whom you are communicating. Asking somebody who has found a date or spouse online a few days ago can provide you with that lot of point of view about the knowledge, so make sure to listen properly. You can even find out about the things that made them successful and which mistakes they will made as you go along. This advice can often be insightful and will really help guide you all on your own path. The same is true for those who are looking for out seeing advice personally. Chances are, you are going to gain a lot of understanding from an individual that has been there just before.
While online dating advice may be useful, it is not generally appropriate. You can find out things about people who you have do not considered before simply by asking them problems. In fact , you may find out that you are not appropriate at all! In no time, you is intended to meet someone who makes you look absolutely great.
Once you have narrowed down the field somewhat, then it is time to take your search into the physical world. You may turn to classic dating guidance for aid in this campaign.

Some people choose to go "natural" when it comes to their particular dating suggestions. This means that they seek out sources which might be more general in design.

However , in case you tend to end up being guarded, it may be far better stick with the greater traditional options for dating recommendations. These are individuals who studied person behavior and also have noticed habits.

This doesn't mean that you should ignore the instincts altogether. It could be that you have a hunch that particular person or company could be the one suitable for you.

2011 Holiday Gift Guide: Sports Watches To Help Burn Off The Turkey
If you're planning a marathon next year or just full of delicious stuffing and turkey, you may want to look into getting a sports watch. These wrist computers offer GPS, heart-rate, and pace measurements for runners, bikers, and, most recently, swimmers and they can help motivate you to get off your duff and, what's more, help you shave some seconds off your time.
I've used all of these except the Garmin and they range from $350 to about $200. When looking at a sports watch, take into consideration your daily regimen as well as your – or your intended recipient's – favorite sport. Something like the Nike+ GPS watch is best for runners while the Polar RCX5 works for triathloners. Just starting out? Take a look at Garmin and Suunto for simpler sport computers designed to motiviate you to get off your keister.
The Polar RCX5 – $349 – The RCX5, which I reviewed here and someone did a better job of reviewing this watch here and we both found this to be one of the simplest and most complete sport watches for those in the "high-performance" segment. Out of the box it doesn't do much but assess your current heart rate. However, coupled with Polar's various sensors for bikes and shoes as well as their GPS unit, it gives you a full run-down of your activity using a web-based sync platform.
To use it you simply select your sport – running, swimming, biking, or other – and start exercising. There's little else to worry about. Wireless sync allows you to connect to Macs and PCs to download your workouts and the battery lasts about a year of heavy/mid-range use. Note that this unit does not have GPS built-in and add-ons are fairly expensive.
Buyer Beware: The $399 version of the watch includes a heart-rate monitor (the $349 does not). It is fairly self-contained. You can connect to your PC or Mac using the ANT+ protocol and the watch is rechargeable and lasts about week of heavy use.
Suunto M5 – $189 – Suunto is best known for their hiking watches but they've recently become more adept at building and selling great exercise watches. The M5, for example, is a self-contained training coach. The watch asks you your goals – weight loss, fitness, back hair growth (not really) – and then tells you how many calories – and how long – you need to run. A helpful reminder pops up every day to tell you when you're supposed to exercise. You actually don't need to connect this one to the PC very much (but you can) and its handsome styling makes it a nice everyday watch as well.

Book Excerpt
The thick one stood squinting off at the distant mountain thoughtfully, then he turned and eyed Billy again.
"How'm I gonta know you're efficient?" he challenged.
"Guess you'c'n take me er leave me," came back the boy quickly. "Course if you've got plenty help--"
The man gave him a quick bitter glance. The kid was sharp. He knew there was no one else. Besides, how much had he overheard? Had he been around when the station telephone rang? Kids like that were deep. You could always count on them to do a thing well if they undertook it.
"Well, mebbe I'll try you. You gotta be on hand t'night at eight o'clock sharp. It's mebbe an all night job, but you may be through by midnight."

Our prayer is that the people of Antioch would know and love God through His word (UP arrow) pray for one another (IN Arrow), and pray for those who do not yet know Him (OUT Arrow).
"For Ezra set his heart to study the Law of the Lord, and to do it and to teach his statutes and rules in Israel" (Ezra 7:10)
If you ever wanted to go back and reflect on something from a previous reading plan, you can find them all here.
Foundations 2021
Every year in January we pause everything else and go back to the biblical origins of our church name and the foundational tenets of our church. Join us as we learn more about our values of UP, OUT, and IN!
Advent 2020
Throughout the course of Church history, Christians have commonly looked to four themes during Advent – Hope, Love, Joy, and Peace. This Christmas Season, we will be diving deep into each theme and considering how the birth of Christ creates the way to live all of life with the themes of Advent.
He Reigns
The book of Revelation is a mysterious, apocalyptic, book which has often caused confusion and controversy. However, the great themes of this book are that King Jesus reigns on a throne, is coming soon and is making all things new. In the midst of volatile and confusing times, the certainty of our reigning and coming King will be our great anchor and hope.
Church Reset
There was a moment where John was in quarantine on the island of Patmos and his time there was interrupted by an encounter with Jesus. Jesus told John that He wanted to reset the values, the priorities and the very heartbeat of the local church.
Each week we will spend time in a letter to one of the churches. In our current season of quarantine, when our normal routines have been disrupted, let's spend time in His Word and ask Him what else he would ask us to reset.
June 2020 – The Sermon on the Mount
As we continue our sermon series in James, we are going to be reading through the Sermon on the Mount. It shares many parallels with the book of James because it contains a lot of practical wisdom. In James, the wisdom comes from a faithful disciple but in the Sermon on the Mount it comes straight from the mouth of Jesus. We are praying that these teachings would challenge you, bless you and draw you closer to God as you read along with us this month.
May 2020 – Proverbs
As we begin our sermon series in James, we are going to be reading through Proverbs. Both are books seeking wisdom and containing many practical teaching elements. Our format is going to look a little different for this month. There are 31 days in May and 31 Proverbs, so you'll be getting a "Proverb a day." Rather than 31 different questions, we'll have you ponder the same two questions each day. Our hope is that through these questions the Lord would reveal new wisdom to you and give you encouragement to live out your faith with boldness and joy.
He is Risen
We are going to spend the first part of April preparing our hearts for Easter by dwelling on texts from the Gospels and the Prophets that lead up to Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. Our prayer is that your picture of Christ and the cross would grow a bit bigger and your gratitude for his sacrifice would grow as well.
Revive Us
"Revive us" is a heart-cry to the Lord for a renewed connection with Him. It is what happens when a follower of Jesus experiences a surge of Life and a church experiences an overflow of God's presence into the community.
In this series we will learn about the heart conditions that God is looking for as He responds in revival. We will then ask the Lord to shape our hearts and to revive us again!
Foundations 2020
At Antioch, we have three foundational commitments that our entire ministry is built upon – UP, OUT, and IN. We have formed these commitments from the original church of Antioch in Acts 11 and 13. They exemplified these commitments in such a way that their city, their region and the entire world has never been the same. We want no less than that for our church! We will spend this month revisiting each of these values and re-committing to live by them.
Advent 2019
Throughout the course of Church history, Christians have commonly looked to four themes during Advent – Hope, Love, Joy, and Peace. This Christmas Season, we will be diving deep into each theme and considering how the birth of Christ creates the way to live all of life with the themes of Advent.

As the executive director of lowernine.org, a non-profit organization dedicated to rebuilding homes, Paul's goal is to bring back as many Lower Ninth Ward families as possible. While the team has fully rebuilt 83 homes and renovated many more, the rate of return — 36.7 per cent — still remains very low compared to the rest of the city, where more than 90 per cent of households have returned.
From Crescent Street to the Crescent City
When Laura Paul, BA (religion) 00, drove into New Orleans, La., in 2006, a mere five months after Hurricane Katrina had utterly devastated the Crescent City, displacing hundreds of thousands of people and causing more than US$100 billion in damages, she only planned to volunteer for a few days.
Her temporary stay, however, quickly turned into 14 months, which then turned into years.
Paul has now spent more than a decade in New Orleans and today considers it her home.
"I had a great life back in Montreal, but when I arrived in New Orleans and saw how bad the situation was I kept delaying my trip back," the Scarborough, Ont., native explains. "Eventually, I just never left."
Her temporary stint as a first-response volunteer, distributing water and 2,200 meals a day in the city's St. Bernard Parish, eventually became her full-time career. Only now, the focus of her work is long-term recovery.
Rebuilding homes and reviving hope
The sheer devastation the area experienced, high poverty rates and government inaction have all contributed to the slow-as-molasses return rate many bemoan.
"After Katrina, 100 per cent of the homes in the Lower Ninth Ward were rendered uninhabitable," Paul reports. "Outsiders might question why it's taking so long, but it took four years alone to gut every single house."
More than 10 years after Katrina, while the groundwork continues unabated and the volunteers continue to arrive from around the country and the world, the concern remains that people will forget. Donations are not as easy to come by, as other disasters have come along to make the front news and preoccupy people's minds.
Religious connection
"People need to understand that recovery is a long haul, especially if you're serving a community that is 98.1 per cent African American and 40 per cent live below the poverty line," Paul says. "So much more still needs to be done, and we intend to keep doing it until we run out of money."
The Concordia graduate has fond memories of her time at the university and credits her degree in religion with helping her understand and respect something that is a big part of New Orleans daily life.
"I'm not necessarily a person of faith, but I have immense respect for other cultures and religions and I felt compelled to study religion because it's such a pervasive part of human history," says Paul.
"People in the South are very religious; they'll greet you with, 'Have a blessed day,' all community meetings begin with prayer, and it's helped me understand its role here. This place would be nowhere without faith-based organizations which have stepped up to help and contribute many volunteers to the recovery efforts."
While she admits to occasionally missing her life in Montreal and her apartment on Crescent Street ("right above Grumpy's Bar!"), she doesn't really have much time to miss her old friends — mainly because they're always there.
"The great thing about New Orleans is that everyone wants to visit," Paul says. "I have a guest bedroom in my home and there's rarely a time when someone isn't staying in it."
- lowernine.org gratefully accepts donations and volunteers.

The place-names that residents of the Mexica capital of Tenochtitlan (today Mexico City) gave to their city were both descriptive of topography and commemorative of history. Largely effaced from the Spanish historical register, Mexico City's Nahuatl place-names were rescued from historical oblivion by José Antonio Alzate in the eighteenth century and again by Alfonso Caso in the twentieth. However, effacement is not equal to extinction, and this article argues for the continued use, even creation, of Nahuatl place-names into the eighteenth century. It suggests that the scholar's desire to use place-names as an index to a pre-Hispanic past has obscured the vital presence of the city's Nahua people, and their language, in the colonial period.

Chol HaMoed Sukkot 5780
Meir Sendor
Israel's second round of elections remains inconclusive, as Knesset members continue to wrangle over whether and how to form a unity government. Most Israelis I speak with, from a wide range of political persuasions, are tired of the gamesmanship, would like to see egos put aside for the good of the nation and very much favor a unity government. Especially in these perilous times a strong, unified government is necessary to rise to the challenges. And unity, deep unity, is also one of the essential themes of Sukkot.
In the time of the Temple, the Intermediate Days of the Festival of Sukkot were a time of high rejoicing in celebration of the ceremony of water-drawing, the Simchat Beit HaSho'eivah. The Mishnah and Gemara Sukkah describe the festivities in enthusiastic detail, introduced with the declaration "whoever has not seen the rejoicing of the water-drawing has not seen rejoicing in his life (51a, ff.)." The Ezrat Nashim, the Women's Courtyard of the Temple, was prepared for the all-night celebrations, enormous gold menorahs were filled and lit, thousands of people gathered, music was played on all kinds of instruments, spiritually accomplished people danced and sang, holding and even juggling torches. When dawn came, the crowds accompanied the Kohanim in drawing water from the Shiloach spring, on the southern slope of the City of David, parading back to the Temple and offering the water libations on the altar. Rabbi Yehoshua ben Hananiah says "when we rejoiced in the Simchat Beit HaSho'eivah, our eyes did not see sleep (53a)," and he goes on to describe the schedule of festivities that went all night and all day for all the Intermediate Days, such that people caught cat-naps on each other's shoulders throughout the week.
The Gemara also quotes a cryptic remark of Hillel the Elder, that he would say during the Simchat Beit haSho'eivah:
תלמוד בבלי מסכת סוכה דף נג עמוד א
תניא, אמרו עליו על הלל הזקן כשהיה שמח בשמחת בית השואבה אמר כן: אם אני כאן – הכל כאן, ואם איני כאן – מי כאן.
It is taught: they say of Hillel the Elder, when he was rejoicing at the Simchat Beit HaSho'eivah, he would says thus: "if I am here, all are here. If I am not here, who is here?"
Rashi explains this as a cautionary teaching that Hillel, the Nasi, would give to the enormous celebrating crowds. According to Rashi the subject of the epigram is HaShem. Hillel is gently reminding the people in God's Name that if they conduct themselves with holiness then God's Presence is here in the Temple, and everyone is here. But if they do not behave with appropriate sanctity, then God's Presence departs, and who is left?
Tosafot offers another possible reading, based on the Jerusalem Talmud – that Hillel is speaking directly in first-person about himself. "If I am here, all are here" – coming from Hillel, known for his sincere humility, this can't be an expression of arrogance or a cult of celebrity. Rather, understood properly, it comes from a profound existential awareness, something like the declaration of Kohelet:
קהלת פרק ב
(כה) כי מי יאכל ומי יחוש חוץ ממני:
"For who eats and who feels except for me?"
Kohelet, and Hillel, may be saying something about the mystery of our ineluctable, individual viewpoint, from which we experience what we experience: that we find ourselves given, a gift to ourselves, held in our individual identity, and we are not doing the giving or the holding.
Rabbi Yaakov Yosef of Polnoye, one of the great early students of the Ba'al Shem Tov, harmonizes both interpretations:
תולדות יעקב יוסף במדבר פרשת קרח
ר"ל אם בחינת הלל כאן שהוא מדת הענוה, שיודע בעצמו שכל מעשיו הטובים אינו מצד עצמו רק מצד השכינה, בחינת אני כאן. מה שאין כן בהיפך, כאשר מתגאה, אז מסתלק י' מן אני ונשאר א"ן, ואין אני כאן רק א"ן. ושפיר קאמר אם אני כאן הכל כאן, כי אני יש לו ב' פרושים, א' בחי' הלל, וא' בחי' שכינה שנקרא אני, ושניהם אמת, כי זה נמשך מזה, והבן.
He means to say that if the aspect of Hillel is here, which is the quality of humility, that he knows himself – that all his good actions do not come from himself but from the divine Presence, then "I am here." Which is not the case for the opposite, if a person is arrogant… He said well: "if I am here, all are here," for "I" has two meanings: one is the aspect of Hillel, and one is the divine Presence, which is called "I." And both are true, for this derives from that. Understand.
His point is that Hillel was not only profoundly humble but profoundly aware, and realized that his, and our, personality is constructed and empowered by God, to the very core, through and through. Even our sense of "I," our ownmost identity, is not something we created or even own. It's divinely constructed to be what it is and perceive as it does. But for that very reason, when Hillel, or each of us, fully realizes that my identity, my "I," is empowered by God, then "if I am here, all is here" is true for Hillel speaking for himself and true for Hillel speaking for God.
This mystery is also reflected in another part of the Sukkot ceremony that was performed during the intermediate days, a litany recited during the daytime while circling around the altar with willow branches. A memorial of this litany we still practice and recite today, circling around the bimah, the table on which the Torah is read in the synagogue, with the four species of the lulav and etrog and especially with the willow on Hoshana Rabba. The Mishnah describes it this way:
תלמוד בבלי מסכת סוכה דף מה עמוד א
בכל יום מקיפין את המזבח פעם אחת, ואומרים אנא ה' הושיעה נא, אנא ה' הצליחה נא. רבי יהודה אומר: א–ני ו–הו הושיעה נא. ואותו היום מקיפין את המזבח שבע פעמים.
Each day they circle the altar once, and say "please, HaShem, save please; please HaShem, help prosper please." Rabbi Yehudah says "Ani veHo please save." That day (Hoshana Rabba) they circle the altar seven times.
Rashi notes that Rabbi Yehudah's version of this mysterious prayer invokes two divine Names of the seventy-two letter Name of God. Tosafot explains that both Names refer to the impact on God of the exile of Israel after the destruction of the First Temple. According to Tosafot, our prayer asking God for salvation is also asking "that He should save Himself." As daring as this sounds, it's really in line with an essential traditional understanding of the depth of the empathetic relationship between God and Israel. It says in Tehillim:
תהלים פרק צא
(טו) יקראני ואענהו עמו אנכי בצרה אחלצהו ואכבדהו:
He will call Me and I will answer him, I am with him in suffering, I will release him and honor him.
The rabbinic tradition understands this radically: when Israel suffers, God suffers. When Israel is in exile, the divine Presence is in exile. This is not just some naïve and parochial notion of divine favoritism. If God's world is not whole and perfect, if there is suffering in this world, then in some sense God's Will is not whole. If there are human beings who are not conscious of God, and that goes for most if not all of the human race, then in a certain sense God's consciousness is incomplete. Rabbi Yeshayah Horowitz in his Shnei Luchot haBrit spells out this principle:
Israel is called "the Congregation of Israel, for even though below they are separated from each other, nonetheless Above, in the secret of their souls, they are one unity and gathered together, for they are a portion of HaShem. But branches that want to return to their root need to be patterned like their root, that is, to be unified also below. And when there is division among them below it makes division and cutting-off Above, as it were. See how far the matter reaches (Amud HaShalom, Torah Or, end).
His point is that there is an integral relationship between God and Israel. The root of the soul, the deep structure of consciousness, reaches what is termed "the Congregation of Israel," the collective consciousness of Israel, which is also a kabbalistic term for the divine Presence, that is, consciousness of God's Presence. Because of this intimate relationship, the state of unity or disunity of souls impacts the divine as well. If human beings are unaware of God in truth, then by definition the divine Presence, which is the general condition of awareness of God, is diminished. This is what Hillel is saying, that if I am here, my core identity recognized as empowered by God, then all is here. And this is what Rabbi Yehudah is saying: that if there is suffering in the world, God shares the suffering and the prayers we pray for salvation ask God to save God as well.
The essential message of the water-drawing ceremony of these intermediate days of Sukkot is to help cultivate and facilitate unity among all Jews, and really among all human beings, that will enhance the awareness of divine unity as well. Water-drawing is a symbolic action for reaching deep into the source of consciousness:
ישעיהו פרק יב
(ג) ושאבתם מים בששון ממעיני הישועה:
And you shall draw water in joy from the springs of salvation.
The world these days is in the grip of violent tribal divisions that have caused terrible suffering, destruction and displacement. Every effort we can make to enhance unity and solidarity, brotherhood and sisterhood among all Jews, all human beings – and among all politicians – can have positive impact, even on a cosmic level. This is the eschatological vision of the prophet Zekhariah, also stated in the context of Sukkot:
זכריה פרק יד
(ט) והיה יקוק למלך על כל הארץ ביום ההוא יהיה יקוק אחד ושמו אחד:
And HaShem will be King over all the earth; in that day HaShem will be one and His Name one.

Biological feed additives
Biological crop additives
Biological animal husbandry additives
Biological feed additives
Continual population growth and the resulting increase in food consumption demand intensive farming. However, reduced individual animal productivity is the consequence. Livestock is more prone to sickness and this has a detrimental effect on weight addition. Using WEFASAN® feed additives based on natural raw materials, feed utilisation is optimised and enhanced and weight gains are improved. In addition, stock mortality rates can be cut dramatically.
Appetite stimulant based on plant extracts
WEFASAN® 2005 is obtained from natural substances in a special process. The product sensitises the taste buds on the tongue and stimulates the animal's appetite. Young animals are thus encouraged to eat faster. The use of specific ethereal oils enhances the flavour of the feed and also entices the animal to eat.
Feed additive based on plant extracts for increased yields
WEFASAN® 2010 is a feed additive used in stockbreeding. The product is unique in the sense that it considerably improves feed utilisation and related weight increase. Moreover, the improved health of the animals leads to a corresponding fall in mortality rates. The toxic gas ammonia represents a problem during stockbreeding, as it is present in both the bodies of the animals and the air within the housing.
WEFASAN® 2010 significantly reduces the amount of ammonia created and thus cuts the mortality rate. The energy previously required by animals to detoxify their systems is saved and can be utilised for faster growth. In addition, WEFASAN® 2010 has a positive effect on cell permeability in the digestive tract. Feed is better utilised and energy absorption optimised, leading to a sizeable increase in weight.

World's first: Non-staining and antistatic solid rubber tyres
Blickle is launching a non-staining, antistatic wheel version with solid rubber tyres
Antistatic wheels and castors are used as important system components in a great variety of sectors. These include, for example, medical technology, the electrical and semiconductor industry, the automotive industry, as well as hospitals. The wheels and castors are preferred for use on transport units. They prevent electrostatic discharges caused by both the transport unit as well as the material which is transported, and which can damage sensitive goods or may injure the operator of the transport unit.Up to now, it had to be accepted that only black "antistatic" tyres were offered on the market. However, these leave undesirable black stains on many floor surfaces. Above all in sectors with high hygiene requirements, such as hospitals, these stains resulted in increased cleaning work and therefore increased costs.
A unique combination
For its ALEV wheel series, Blickle has now developed an antistatic version with non-marking grey tyres made of elastic solid rubber. The combination of these properties is therefore a genuine innovation in the field of wheels with rubber tyres. With a hardness of 65° Shore A and 10^7 Ohm leak resistance as specified by the standard, these wheels do not leave any stains. The wheels therefore not only reduce the risk of injury and damage, but also improve cleanliness in their work area.
All in one: Operational comfort, cleanliness and protection!
With all of their positive characteristics such as vibration absorbance, good floor preservation and high load capacity, good operational comfort as well as resistance to many aggressive substances, these wheels are not only suitable for sensitive environments, but also for a wide range of applications. The new wheel version is available with diameters of 100, 125, 160, 200 and 250 millimetres.
In addition to this new development, the Blickle range includes other wheels and castors with antistatic and electrically conductive versions. Due to the various materials for the wheel centre and the tread and their associated characteristics, the right wheel can be found for almost any field of application.

Country roads
Discover Pinterest's 10 best ideas and inspiration for Country roads. Get inspired and try out new things.
One summer evening, my husband and I got in our old truck and drove down a remote dirt road. We drove and drove and drove and didn't see a soul. I always wonder where the telephone poles go--no one seems to live out here. We explored the backroads for almost four hours and didn't see a single person. We saw abandoned farm equipment and an old truck but no people. As the sun was setting I jumped out of the truck and took this photo of the country road. I thought it was just a nice country…

Landscape photography is very subjective, but most will agree that, to some form or another, following the rule of thirds will help achieve a great looking photo. One way to do this is incorporating roads and paths into your frame that will enhance the overall composition of the photograph. We've already showed you how to utilize the S-Curve in photography and many of these examples show you just how it's done. Breaking up the frame with properly placed lines from roads, paths and trails can…

Reclining chairs are the ultimate in comfort and style. Not only do they add oomph and style to the living room but at the same time they are comfortable too. Reclining chairs are designed in a specific way to provide maximum support to the lower and upper back and offer you the most comfortable sitting position.
The best part of reclining chairs is that a person can sit for hours on it without feeling even a slight discomfort.
Apart from general comfort, reclining chairs are especially beneficial to:
• People with disabilities like arthritis as they may not feel comfortable seating on -typical chairs.
• Pregnant women.
• People with very short height.
There are many types and styles of reclining chairs available in shops and online furniture stores. Each chair has its own distinct feature and reclining capacity. Some recliners have two or three reclining positions while others have infinite number of positions.
Recliner with two positions
A recliner that has two positions reclines to an approximately 45-degree angle. They are good and comfortable for seating purpose but not a good option in case you are thinking of having a nap on them. Such two position recline chairs are fully motorized and all the functions are controlled by using hand controls.
Recliner with three-positions
Three-position chairs enable you to adjust to any angle in order to provide you the maximum comfort. You can almost lie flat on them. Just like two-position chairs they too are motorized and the control for all the functions is in your hands.
Recliner with infinite positions
Chairs with infinite positions consist of two motors rather than just one. Unlike the two-or three-position chairs the footrest operates independently. Infinite-position chairs enable you to manipulate the footrest independently from the chair. Hence you can have your back at a 90-degree angle, and at the same time have your feet raised as well. These chairs are perfect for a sound sleep.
Various styles of reclining chairs are:
While buying a reclining chair the most important to keep in mind is comfort and the reclining capacity. Of course, colors and material coverings also matter. Leather reclining chair is more practical than chairs made up of other fabrics since their wear and tear rate is low and leather is also easier to clean.
• Swivel Recliner Chairs– A swivel recliner chair rotates through 360o and comes with a separate footstool. It is the ultimate in style as well as comfort. They are ideal for living rooms having plenty of space.
• Reclining Armchairs– A reclining chair is simple and a great way to unwind and relax after a hard day's work.
• Massage Recliner Chairs– As the name suggests, massage recliners are meant to provide you relaxation by massaging your body. Massage recliners are extremely beneficial for body, health and fitness.
• Riser Recliner Chairs– These chairs have the comfort of a recliner armchair combined with the electric riser reclining action. They allow you to have total control and mobility.
You can find affordable reclining chairs online to suit your tastes, in a large choice of fabric and leather options. And not just reclining chairs but you can also find dining room chairs, reception chairs, stools and folding chairs in a wide range of variety online.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), more than 20,000 people require medical attention every year as a result of crashes involving trailers towed by passenger vehicles. These recreational outings don't need to go sideways — nor does whatever you may be towing. Here's a safety checklist to ensure you are towing the right way.
(BPT) - The onset of warmer weather means taking to the outdoors, be it boating, camping or simply tackling big jobs in the backyard. The result is a heavy increase in traffic on the roads — and often tagging along with the extra vehicles are the trailers, boats and campers that can put motorists at risk.
In fact, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, more than 20,000 people require medical attention every year as a result of crashes involving trailers towed by passenger vehicles.
These recreational outings don't need to go sideways — nor does whatever you may be towing. Here's a safety checklist to ensure you are towing the right way:
Get hitched: A starting point to towing is knowing the pulling capacity of your vehicle, as too much weight can cause a load of problems, no matter how much power your engine has.
When it comes to connecting a trailer to the towing vehicle, a critical component, of course, is the coupler — the part of the hitch system that is attached to the trailer. The coupler needs to be secured, tight and locked.
On the towing vehicle, avoid using a ball mount and hitch that is rusted, cracked, corroded or poorly designed — anything that can compromise its integrity. A safe answer is applying a new hitch, like the Ultra-Tow Complete Tow Kit, which is a durable and easy solution to pull whatever you're towing.
Bottom line: Always reference the "coupling to tow vehicle" section of your vehicle manual to make sure it is done right.
Feel the (tire) pressure: An often forgotten element on the trailer towing checklist is making sure the trailer's tire pressure is at the right level. In addition, inspect tires for wear or trauma — and be sure to have a spare.
Be a chain agent: Once you place and pop in the coupler over the ball mount, the next step is applying the safety chains, which need to be rigged to the tow vehicle. Avoid the common mistake of rigging the safety chains to the hitch or ball mount itself. Safety chains are federal law and will keep the trailer from drifting in the event the trailer coupling separates from the ball mount.
Light it up: No matter what you're driving, communicating with other vehicles is paramount to safety — and that means having properly working brake, tail and turn signal lights. Before departing, sync up the trailer lights with the tow vehicle and test it out so that other motorists will know your actions.
Locked down and loaded: Once everything is hitched, it's time to load up the cargo. It's best to be balanced with weight distribution, but put heavier cargo in the front of the trailer. And of course, do not overload.
This pre-departure checklist is only a start. Once on the road, remember the basic safe driving practices when towing a trailer: Drive at moderate speeds, avoid sudden stops, don't use cruise control and allow more distance for stopping.
No matter how much of a rush you are in to hit the road this summer, don't take any shortcuts when it comes to towing safely.

5 Tips for Summer Road Trips
For many people, summer means setting out on a road trip in search of bucket-list-worthy excitement or a relaxing vacation.
Whether you're going down the road to visit family or across the country to see a national monument, it is important to prepare your vehicle – and its tires – before you pull out of the driveway.
These five safety tips can help get your family ready to hit the road this summer:
1. Check Your Tread – A tire's tread depth can determine a vehicle's safe stopping distance. You can check your tread depth by sticking a penny upside-down in a tread groove. If you can see President Lincoln's head, it's time to replace your tires.
2. Ensure Proper Tire Pressure – Low tire pressure can lead to poor handling and gas mileage, excessive wear and overloading. Drivers should check their tire pressure at least once a month, and especially before any long trip. Use a dependable air gauge or stop by an automotive store like Discount Tire or America's Tire to take advantage of complimentary air checks.
3. Rotate Often – Tires should be rotated at least every 6,000 miles or earlier if irregular or uneven wear develops.
5. Don't Overload – The combination of heat and overloading a vehicle, which can be common during summer travel, is one of the most dangerous conditions for a vehicle's tires as overloaded tires can overheat and possibly fail.
When it comes to summer driving safety, it can be imperative to check your tires early and often. Knowing the condition of your tires can keep your family safe and your vehicle in quality condition.

(BPT) - Temps are higher, the days are longer and road trips are planned.
When it comes to getting our cars ready for the road, we habitually adjust our rear-view mirror and double-check fuel levels before putting the car in gear. We sometimes change our engine oil and refill the windshield fluid. Yet we often overlook one of the most important safety features on our vehicles — the tires.
With a little preparation and the right tire maintenance know-how, major issues on the road can be largely avoided. Follow these simple tips to ensure your rubber is ready to meet the road:
1. Choose the right tires for the season.
There are many different tire categories, from ultra-high performance (UHP) tires designed to ensure performance vehicles handle flawlessly at high speeds to highway tires built to provide a smooth, comfortable ride and predictable handling.
It's important to work with a professional tire technician to decide which tires are best suited for your vehicle and style of driving.
"Today's tires are available in thousands of fitments providing varying performance, comfort and safety features, making it absolutely necessary to discuss your wants and needs with a knowledgeable tire sales person to ensure you're getting the desired results," says Matti Morri, Nokian Tyres technical customer service manager.
For example, a driver looking for balanced performance on varying surfaces — from hot and dry to cool and wet — would be happy with something like the Nokian zLine A/S UHP, designed to perform safely and precisely in variable conditions.
2. Give your tires a once-over for correct air pressure.
One of the easiest ways to extend the life of your tires is to regularly check them for correct air pressure.
Low and uneven inflation will cause a number of problems for your vehicle, including poor handling and reduced comfort, increased
fuel consumption and an overall unsafe driving experience. Tire pressure should be checked once a month and always before longer trips. You should always check tire pressure before hitting the road because driving causes tires to heat up and air pressure to increase. Consult the vehicle's manual for proper inflation pressures.
3. Check your tread depth.
Tires with inadequate tread are susceptible to poor handling, hydroplaning, reduced gas mileage and more. In fact, tires are considered legally worn out when they reach 2/32 of an inch.
"To ensure your tires will perform safely, it's crucial to monitor for worn treads," Morri says. "Nokian Tyres' products are equipped with Nokian's Driving Safety Indicator (DSI), which indicates what percentage of tread depth remains, as well as a water drop stamp that disappears when tread is reduced to the point where the risk of hydroplaning is increased."
Pro tip: A penny and a match are both easy tools to check your tread depth. Stick a penny, facing you, upside down in the tread on multiple spots around the tire. If Lincoln's head is completely visible, your tread is too worn and you should replace your tires.
Similarly, if you stick the head of a match in your tread and the tip is not completely hidden, your tread is too worn. These are both signs of ultimate worn tread, and you may want to consider new tires before reaching this point.
Before you hit the open road, remember that minor issues can become major roadblocks in the blink of an eye — or turn of the wheel. Take a little extra time to follow these simple tire tips and the only thing you'll have to worry about is the wind messing up your hair.
