4 Tips for Finding High-Quality Wooden Furniture
Whether you're looking for simple wooden chairs or expensive dining room tables, preparation is the key to finding high-quality wooden furniture. Here are just a few tips to make it happen.
1. Know Your Timber
Were you aware that softwoods and hardwoods have nothing to do with texture? They actually refer to the type of tree that created the wood. For example, softwoods come from pine, cedar and spruce trees; hardwoods come from maple, oak and cherry. These are things you need to know before you go shopping for wooden furniture.
2. Find a Specialist
If you're looking for rustic furniture, find a manufacturer with experience in preserving the integrity of the wood while also giving it that old-school aesthetic. If you prefer bamboo wood, look for someone who understands the process of cutting, dyeing and shipping it.
3. Evaluate the Grain
You're looking for a dense, uniform grain that flows in the same direction without interruption. Scratches are no good, and neither are splinters. The damage will only spread from its origin and eventually overtake the rest of the piece.
4. Examine the Veneer
Some homeowners object to veneers, but they actually play a critical role in protecting the wood from damage, debris and other dangers. Don't be afraid to bring magnifying equipment to inspect your dresser's veneer. If its protective cover has been breached, don't buy the piece.
These are just a few ways to determine good timber from bad. If you do your research and learn today, you'll reap the benefits for years to come!

Create a Beautiful Patio With Concrete Pavers
If you're adding an outdoor patio to your home or remodeling an existing patio area, concrete patio pavers offer a functional, durable, affordable design solution. Available in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, patterns and colors, it's simple to find a paver style that will enhance the beauty of your home.
Concrete pavers are individual blocks used to create a smooth, hard surface for outdoor patios, porches, walkways, pathways and driveways. They are extremely durable and hold up well in any climate conditions. They easily withstand outdoor elements like intense heat and freezing temperatures, rain, snow, ice and even fire. Concrete pavers provide a maintenance-free surface that can be cleaned with soap and water.
Since pavers are thinner than regular concrete building products, they're lightweight, easy to handle, and simple to install. Some concrete pavers come with interlocking systems that allow installation without mortar or grout. Interlocking joints create easy installation for DIY projects and reduce costs for installation and labor. Outdoor pavers allow you to create custom designs and shapes that are difficult with poured concrete materials.
Concrete pavers are more durable that asphalt and have a slip resistant surface that offers care-free maintenance. Made from Portland cement, gravel and water, they're suitable for any type of outdoor use. They're available in beautiful, plain textures and embossed patterns that come with a lifetime warranty.

Homeowners 101: How to Clear a Clogged Drain
A clogged drain isn’t something that any homeowner wants to deal with, but they’re a fact of life that you really can’t avoid. While they can be pretty annoying, they don’t have to ruin your week, and you don’t always have to call for an expert repair. Use these tips to help you.
If you can’t, there are a variety of people that can help with a clogged drain Toronto residents trust.
1. Pour boiling water down the drain from the tea kettle. If you have a particularly tough clog you may need to repeat the process a few times. Let the sink rest for a while after pouring water down the drain, as it may take some time for the boiling water to eat through the clog.
2. Combine a small amount of baking soda with distilled vinegar if the boiling water doesn’t clear the blog. The mixture of baking soda and boiling water can help to dissolve a clog that’s related to fat or hair, both of which are common problems in the kitchen and bathroom respectively.
3 Consider calling a professional if you don’t have any results with the boiling water from the kettle or the mixture of baking soda and distilled vinegar. You may have a more serious problem than a clogged drain, especially if you have a garbage disposal that isn’t working. Call a company that can deal with issues like sump pump Toronto residents really trust in their homes.

5 Ways to Stay Safe at Home
Everyone deserves the right to feel safe at home. However, the necessary precautions need to be taken in order to remain free from danger. Here are five important home safety tips.
Electronic guard dog
In an effort to enhance the security of their property, some families choose to get a guard dog. However, an actual guard dog is not the only viable option. Homeowners can install an alarm that features the sounds of a ferocious guard dog. This will help to deter criminals while the residents are away from home. Placing a dog bowl on the porch will also make burglars think twice before attempting to break into the home.
Reinforced doors
A well-built door is a major benefit to home security. If possible, install steel frames around all of the exterior doors. One of the most important components of a front door is the deadbolt system. Always invest in a quality deadbolt system that offers the highest level of security. Try to avoid installing doors that are designed with a large glass window.
Fire safety
At least one smoke detector needs to be installed on every floor of the home. A security system monitoring service can actually be connected to the home’s smoke detectors. If one of the alarms is triggered, the monitoring service will promptly alert emergency services. However, homeowners must remember to develop a solid fire escape plan.
Stay alert while cooking
A large percentage of house fires are caused by cooking accidents. Never make the mistake of taking a nap while cooking. Keeping a fire extinguisher near the kitchen is always a good idea. Although some people choose to use slow cookers while at work, they still need to be very careful. Instead of allowing young children to use the stove upon returning home from school, prepare snacks that can be heated in the microwave.
Key-less entry panic button
A car’s key-less entry panic button can be used to enhance the security of a home. If the homeowner notices the presence of a home intruder, they can push the panic button on their car keys. This will certainly help to scare away the criminal. However, the car has to be parked in close proximity to the home.

Bamboo Flooring Provides a New Alternative for Today's Homeowners
Hardwood floors have long been a sign of class and status among American homeowners. For some, the American Dream includes those hardwood floors, which tend to look better, stay cooler, and remain cleaner, as well. When people choose hardwood floors, though, they have many different kinds of wood to choose from. Some enjoy those old, oak floors of years past. Others go with something extremely valuable like mahogany. There is a new type of wood floor that is sweeping the world of real estate, however. High quality bamboo flooring looks good and provides precisely what many homeowners are looking for.
One of the most important bamboo flooring facts has to do with its rich color. Bamboo flooring tends to be lighter than most other types of wood floors. This is preferable for some homeowners who are looking to bring a light, airy feel to their home. This is not to say that people who choose bamboo floors only have one option, of course. Much to the contrary, there are many different color patterns that people can choose, including one strain of bamboo that goes by the coffee-inspired name of "java."

Contemporary and Vintage Combine in Modern Table Lamps
Whether you’re reading, writing, sewing or relaxing with friends, sometimes a good table lamp is just what you need.
Modern table lamps can provide both comfort and style as many of them combine a small base with excellent lighting options. Depending on the ambiance you’re attempting to create, you may want to go for a slender, sleek look that shouts contemporary sensibility, like some of the chrome or glass lamps designed by companies like Kundalini. Although many of their lamps have a modern art feel, they also create table lamps, like the ones in their Candela line, that mimic old-fashioned candles.
Other designers, like Trend Lighting, combine contemporary materials and features with a more retro sensibility, including table lamps with linen, silk or parchment shades that might have looked just right in your grandmother’s house. For instance, their Pallaeh Crystal Table Lamp combines a delicate shade with an old-fashioned looking pull chain, yet the base has a unique design made up of small crystal balls. Similarly, their Sherbet Table Lamp combines a standard looking shade with a bottle shaped base made from multi-toned sherbet glass. That combination of modern and vintage sensibilities might be just what you’re looking for in a lamp.

My Bucket List - 2014
Everyone has a bucket list, even if they don't call it by that name. I always have ever changing goals, whether they are to get a load of laundry done or to fly halfway across the world. This is the first time I've written mine down on a piece of paper. This is my Bucket List as of July, 2014.
I'm sure some of these will change by next year but it's still fun!
Short Term:
- Make my own Root Beer and Ginger Ale- It can be done and I know I can do it! We don't buy pop so this will be a great experience for the whole family.
- Grow Veggies in the Winter- This is a new goal for me. This is my first year with a big garden and I'm looking for ways to extend my growing.
- Make my Children's Mattresses- You read that right. I plan to do it this winter with buckwheat hulls and cotton!
Long Term:
- Take my Children to Disney World- I went when I was a kid and I have made a promise to take my boys when they are a bit older. Money is the biggest obstacle so we are saving now even though our boys are only 2 and 5.
- Be Self Sustainable- Someday I want to depend on no one but ourselves and our community for most of our basic needs. I want to grow our own food or buy it locally. I want to have solar or wind power to generate our own electricity.
- Go to Italy- This is something my husband and I want to do together. Both of our family's are from there and some of his still live there.
- Go Skydiving- Another one I want to do with my husband. I've wanted to do this since I watched the Power Rangers Movie in the 90's!
I'm sure some of these will change by next year but it's still fun!

Kid's Deluxe Junior Police Costume
My 5 year old loves to dress up. Recently he chose this Junior Police Costume. I think it's because he loves to lay down the law, especially with his little brother! The costume comes with some fun accessories including hand cuffs, which he really enjoyed. This costume came for Wholesale Halloween Costumes and they have a great selection of girls and boys police costumes and fire fighter costumes
I have to say this is one of the best quality costumes we have gotten. It's made with a cotton/poly blend and seems to be sewn well. There are nice detail to the jumpsuits, like the patches sewn to the arms. The costume includes:

3 Ways to Choose A Volunteer Organization
Feeling charitable? The good news is that there are thousands of nonprofits throughout the world who'd love your help. The bad news is that all these choices can be paralyzing! If you need help narrowing things down, here are just a few criteria for choosing a good volunteer organization.
If you're thinking of volunteering, you probably already have a cause in mind. But things like "hunger" and "homelessness" are broad categories that are very easy to get lost in, especially if you're a first-timer, so try to focus your search on one problem in particular. For example, if you want to work with the poor, you can look for opportunities with disadvantaged youth or low-income housing projects.
Familiarize yourself with the big charities that lead the industry in which you want to volunteer. If you're hoping to save the gorillas, you should know about In Defense of Animals; if you're interested in third-world disaster relief, educate yourself on the Red Cross.

Checking Out a New Neighborhood
When looking at Bluffton real estate, one of the things that you want to do is simply to check out the neighborhood along with the home. You never want to buy a house without first deciding if it is in an area where you would like to live. Even if it seems like a good deal, you will be unhappy there if you do not like the area, and you could end up having to look for a new house far more quickly than you would have liked. Here are a few key things to think about when looking at the neighborhood as a whole:
1. Are there any parks?
Having parks and green space can be very nice, especially if you think that you are going to be buying a rather small lot. The closer you can get to a park, the more that area feels like it is yours. This is especially nice if you have children. There may not be much room in the yard for them to run and play, but you will barely notice if there is a park across the street.
2. What are the crime rates like?
It is also worth looking at the crime rates to make sure that the area has a low amount of crime. You want to feel safe in your own home. The chart should tell you about all sorts of things, such as the amount of specific types of crime and where those things occurred. Knowing that you found a great home with very little nearby crime can give you peace of mind.

Fishing Industries Linked To Dietary Supplements
Seafood is rich in an array of nutrients that are not readily available from common diets. Some people prefer to eat fish and other marine wildlife that is wild caught in specific bodies of water such as the Atlantic Ocean or Pacific Ocean. Australia's and New Zealand's coasts are home to thriving fishing industries. In fact, every single piece of a fish or other marine creature goes to use. There is an entire nutraceutical market that consists of special extracts of fish bones, tissue, teeth and other parts. Such organic components are rich in specific nutrients like phosphorus, calcium and magnesium.
In fact, sharks are also used for a variety of food and nutraceutical markets. Studies have shown that shark bones contain a significant concentration of calcium and phosphorus. These nutrients are carefully extracted, purified and then processed for resale on a seafood market or supplement market.
It's important to realize that all bones and other body parts are processed after meat has been removed from wild caught sharks and other fish. In other words, the marine nutraceutical industry doesn't focus on catching sharks just for the sake of using their bones and teeth. Fish oil is also extracted for use in the supplemental sector. Omega 3 fatty acids are important for heart health in humans. People can learn more about the benefits of nutraceuticals derived from marine wildlife. Additionally, all natural extracts from seaweeds are also popular in healthy alternative diets that rely on rich nutrients from wild fish.

Help the Environment and Save Money by Insulating Your Home {UK only}
Did you know that simple insulation of your home can save you
money in the long run? 50-70% of the energy used in homes is from heating and
cooling. So, by stopping the leakage and properly insulating you can use less
energy to stay comfortable, which is ideal for you and the environment.
Many insulators limit the movement of air while others block
the flow of air. Since warm air naturally moves to cool rooms, cold attics and
basements could be eating your heating costs. The heat could also be leaking
out of door and window frames.
Usually you can start with an attic walls. Fiberglass and
spray foam insulation are popular choices. The next places you will want to
check are the windows in the entire home. Storm windows are double paneled and
seal tighter to keep the heat in or out. You can even put reflectors on your
roof to keep the radiative heat out in the summer.
You may be thinking, where do I get the money to do this? There
are many companies that will allow you to make payments so you can start saving
on energy right away. See Instructions and apply on the Green Deal website to avoid
up-front costs and start improving on your home today.
Note: The Green Deal is for the UK only.

Protect Factory Workers and the Environment with Thermal Oxidizers
Factory and industrial work has a long history of chemical exposure concerns, with many health advocacy groups demonstrating that chemical exposure in the workplace may be a common link between many health ailments. In today's workplace environment, technological advancements in reducing indoor chemical pollutants have become increasingly popular and highly innovative. One such a method of reducing chemical exposures and pollutants is through units known as thermal oxidizers, many of which are installed in factories, chemical plants, and other heavily-polluted work environments all over the world. With their highly-effective methods for reducing pollutants in the air, these units may be especially helpful for reducing health risks and environmental concerns.
Health websites and news outlets are constantly exulting the benefits of reducing environmental contaminants and pollutants. One can't go to this website or that website without finding some interesting news report on the risks associated with pollutant exposure. Often, the combination of chemical exposures and demanding physical labor can be strenuous on the body, further complicating health risks, concerns, and diseases. Although a thermal oxidizer is by no means a medical device, it is a valuable unit that allows pollutants to be transformed into CO2 and H20 through a process called thermal combustion.
Often, a chemical plant will install multiple thermal oxidizers and combustion units throughout their facility. Depending on the size and chemicals used, these units may run throughout every hour of the day. Not only are oxidizers important for keeping workers safe and protected from possible and potential chemical exposure, they can also help to protect the natural environment. Businesses have been constantly becoming more green lately, combining industry know-how with the latest eco-friendly tools to enhance their productivity and image. More often than not, green measures allow companies to generate innovative and creative ideas on how to improve performance without sacrificing the health of other humans or the environment.
Without proper measures taken in chemical plants and factories, environmental and health risks are often the first concerns among most individuals and organizations alike. Improving air quality is easier now than it has ever been, especially thanks to creative environmental scientists all over the world. Other measures for controlling toxins, chemicals, and pollutants include VOC-laden air concentrators. These units enable companies to pull in volatile air contaminants and pollutants into themselves. They release natural exhaust as a result, reducing the amount of pollutants in the air and work environment.

Solar Power Solutions For Homes
Modern architecture needs to incorporate alternative energy sources into the heating, cooling, plumbing and ventilation plans. A home can have solar panels installed on top of angled rooftops that have shingles. Flat rooftops are not compatible with solar panels because sunshine radiates solar energy at an angle. Solar power can be used to provide hot water and even some electricity that can be used for appliances and other major applications in homes. Homeowners can also get tax incentives when installing solar panels. The government is interested in giving smart homeowners tax breaks when it comes to using alternative energy sources.
Some solar panels can actually be installed near a home instead of on top of the roofs. In fact, free standing solar panels can absorb much more energy because there isn't any limited space such as on a rooftop. The panels can be tilted at the optimum angle and supported by a simple rod or structure. The panels can then be connected directly to a home's electrical grid or plumbing system. In fact, a collector can be stored outside in climates that have warm temperatures all year long. Such a collector simply stores hot water that's delivered to the fixtures inside a home. Additionally, an electrical collector such as a large battery or capacitor can also be installed to provide some backup electricity to the dominant power lines that are connected to a home. In the future, solar cells can be advanced enough to power an entire home's electrical supply.

In fact, a collector can be stored outside in climates that have warm temperatures all year long. Such a collector simply stores hot water that's delivered to the fixtures inside a home. Additionally, an electrical collector such as a large battery or capacitor can also be installed to provide some backup electricity to the dominant power lines that are connected to a home. In the future, solar cells can be advanced enough to power an entire home's electrical supply.
