So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Lose weight with quick loss AcaiBurn - AcaiBurn.ca

By Collin De Ruyck

Finally! Heres an acai weight-loss program I feel confident talking-up because it comes with clinical trial proof to back it up. I call that putting your money where your mouth is. In a sea of fly-by-night acai berry diet programs AcaiBurn has emerged as a real performer, clinically proving its promise of up to 450% MORE fat loss. That blows my mind and has officially gotten my attention. That, in addition to the astonishing Before and After photos of real AcaiBurn users answers my question: Which acai diet product is really delivering on its promises? AcaiBurn, that's which one.

Two groups of people were taken for a case study where each group was given a different supplement to use. Neither group knew which supplement they were taking. After an 8 week period was up the group that used AcaiBurn lost 450% more weight then the group who used a different supplement.

The second thing AcaiBurn has been able to achieve for there customers is by being able to provide them with two guarantee's. The first is on their 14 day free trial period where you only pay for shipping and handling and you get a free one months supply of AcaiBurn.

If you continue with the program and after 60 days you are still not happy with your results, you can cancel your order and get your money back as well. This is there 60 day guarantee. Which I might add is the biggest in the industry.

Fresh Lobster is a Healthy Treat for All

By Shannon Linnen

When you're on a diet, it can be maddening trying to get the nutrients you need, and still lose weight. One of the hardest things is trying to find a lean protein that's good for you, and that you like to eat. Tofu is always an option, but isn't the same as meat. Red meat isn't an option of course, but chicken gets tiring, after a while. And fish has been reported to have high mercury levels, meaning you shouldn't eat it every day. So what protein can you enjoy? How about some fresh lobster!

Many of us have long believed that lobster is bad for you. It tastes so great, and feels so deliciously indulgent, that eating it must be cheating. In fact, this just isn't true. Lobster, at 90 calories per three and a half ounces, is actually better for you than other protein rich meats, like steak and even chicken. This means that including lobster in your diet is, unbelievably I know, a great way to get trim and stay healthy while doing it. Fresh lobster is a must add protein to your meals.

Much of the reason that people have felt that fresh lobster was unhealthy is because of traditional preparations. When you think of lobster, you think of a heavy, creamy bisque, or dredging it in drawn butter. And of course, adding these fats to any protein makes it unhealthy, the same would be true for any fish prepared in oil or butter, or chicken and steak pan fried. But lobster on its own is actually quite good for you. It is prepared by steaming, which takes away many of the oils and fats often used in preparing other meats, which is an added healthy bonus.

Lobster is also a great source of omega three fatty acids, which you've probably been seeing on the news lately. Found naturally in many types of fish and shellfish, omega three fatty acids are seen as essential for heart health. They are such a hit that they're being added to many other foods. Fresh lobster is a great way to get these great heart benefits because it can be prepared in such a low calorie way. It's also a great way to get the protein that you need to have energy throughout your day.

How can you enjoy fresh lobster in a healthy way? Lobster makes a great addition to a salad, in chunks, it's rich taste is a wonderful way to use less dressing and add a kick to what you're eating. You can also try a few pieces on a slice of quality bread, like rye or pumpernickel, to mix the strong flavors. For dinner, try some whole wheat pasta dressed with a little oil and some lobster meat. It's sure to be an instant family favorite.

Want to spice up dinner tonight? Try some healthy fresh lobster? It's a great way to eat something that's good for you, and tastes delicious. So go enjoy!

Carpet Selection Made Easy When You Know What To Look For.

By Kal Gutman

Deciding on the right quality carpet is going to take the proper care involving research. When going to the carpet supplier and you find the various qualities of carpet available you have some very serious choices to make to choose the right carpet.

Looking for proper information can be quite daunting and the first step is to check out the fibers and construction or makeup of a carpet that is going to stand the test of time. It is important to know that you can stick to your budget and still have a quality piece of fabric to last a good part of a lifetime.

There are three main types of yarn that goes into the process of manufacturing a carpet. One is nylon, polyester and olefin (another name for olefin is polypropylene). Usually Olefin is used in a commercial construction looped pile carpet that is used mainly for high traffic areas and comes with a very short and dense construction used in industrial, institutional and commercial settings.

If you are looking for luxury for your home then a nylon with a "twisted" construction will give you years of wear and the twist count with a dense construction is going keeps it's overall look appeal longer than a sparely constructed carpet which will get "matted" down very quickly showing the worn areas.

Stay away from "berber" style carpets they tend to unravel when teased or pulled in any kind of way and need expensive mending also installers have a hard time making the seaming joints on the carpet and will "zipper" over time and of all things salespeople tell you not to use a power head on the carpets when vacuuming them...Go figure!

The biggest factor will be the density nevertheless and of course keep in mind that the "feel" will give you sense of whether the carpet has some retention or "bounce" to give a look of revival after vacuuming. It is important to note salespeople sometimes do not understand how a carpet wears and will only see the beautiful appearance when new and not when it is 2, 3, 4 or 5 years of wear and tear and not performing at all, so be diligent in your fibre construction research.

Floating Flooring: The Future in Home Design

By Jenna Barnes

With the right approach you can get fantastic results with floating floors instead of your old carpets or classic floorings. I now have a better idea of what works and what doesn't, after installing that great hardwood floor in my living room. You can do it by yourself too, in only one weekend.

My idea of renovating a house is based around my assumption that most people enjoy not spending too much time with cleaning around. Floating floors are ideal for lazy housewives, as well as for extremely busy people.

When taking care of home design, you can have immediate rewards if you like to install and fix all sort of things. What hobbies can be more productive than home improvement? You can even make good money with your passion.

This is a home design tip that everyone can learn from. I also like to discuss how I do it. Floating flooring can be a difficult concept to grasp for some people. In such cases, you'd better hire a specialist to have it installed and get rid of all hassles.

While bamboo floors have skyrocketed in terms of sales in 2008, the 2009 trend seems to turn towards hardwood. Both of them are beautiful, so this is only another choice for home owners. Prices fall within the same range, so you can choose freely.

When cleaning floating floors, you can use simple water, with no added detergents. Vapor cleaners or vacuum cleaners that also wash can do a great job as well. Your house will always shine like new and your friends will surely see the difference.

In order to summarize, floating floors have two significant advantages: you can have them installed in one day in the whole house, and you can wash them in very little time. Consider this advice, do itin one room, then let me know if you liked it.

Carriage Clocks - What are They Exactly

By Matthew Roberts

These distinctive time timepieces have been around since the 19th century, having been made specifically for use in carriages as the vast majority of people never wore wristwatches in those days. Unfortunately though, times were changing as more and more people started carrying their own watches and by the time the 1860s arrived, the regal looking carriage clocks were no longer required.

Generally speaking, carriage clocks were approximately five and a half inches in height by five inches wide. Admittedly, this size of carriage clock was on the small end of the scale and many designs were a lot bigger than this, depending on the individual manufacturers. Another interesting trend between manufacturers in those days, was to mount the actual clocks inside a casing. In fact, many carriage clocks were totally concealed within a rigid leather compartment and passengers would have to open the case if they wanted to see what time it was. Another common feature of carriage clocks is the fact that they nearly always have a handle, thus allowing them to be carried. While the vast majority of clocks were made from robust metals such as polished brass, there were also some crafted from pure gold for the rich elite.

It's not uncommon for carriage clocks to have beautiful scenes painted on the face but the early French ones in particular, are renowned for the beauty of the scenes and in some cases, even porcelain was used for the face itself. Of course, these high-end clocks would have graced the homes of the wealthy or at the very least, a special place in the carriage.

While many carriage clocks are made to play various melodies at different times of the day, not all are, although nearly all of them will chime on the hour. There are even some clocks with an elaborate arrangement of bells which will alert you as yet another half hour passes by.

Many of the older clocks in particular, have exquisitely crafted spring loaded mechanisms which in turn prompted many manufacturers to leave a section of the casing off, thus allowing one to admire the internal features.

Nowadays, those decorative carriage clocks which so many people have on the mantle rely on quartz movement and are powered by batteries instead.

Gone are the days when you'd have spent a full day, or even days searching for that special carriage clock. Instead, with the help of the internet, shoppers can shop the world from the comfort of the home. Even those enthusiasts in search of genuine old carriage clocks can take advantage of the many online auctions.

Picking your digital camera

By Joshua D Gunn

If you are ready to purchase a new digital camera, one of the first problems you need to consider is what brandname to buy. The Canon name has been around for a long time and has a reputation for high quality, durability and technically advanced cameras. Once you decide on purchasing a Canon, the next process is to think which model you want and how much money you are willing to spend. If you are like most people, you will be muddled as to what designs you want in a camera and which ones you will not use. In order to pin point what design you want to purchase you will need to think about what you will be using your camera for.

For those that can never make up their mind, knowing the different makes of Canon cams can help make that final decision. Each of the classes has a set of makes that are similar in looks, but vary in features. Heres an look of each design.

If you need a camera to take pics on the job or are thinking about professional photography, the SX and G design of cameras will work nice. These cameras have over 8 MP, a wide range of functions and shooting modes. The most affordable SLR camera in this design is the latest model SX110 IS. It prices for around $250 and has some functions of the higher priced models. The G10 is the first of the line and is usable for underwater shooting by placing it in a waterproof case.

If you prefer a compact cam with a fancy appearance plus more features, you may want the ELPH or Electronics Physics cameras. As of now, there are seven different designs available. The preferred cam from this lineup is the PowerShot SD1100IS partially due to the idea it gives you five different colors to choose from. many of the more costly SD series cams have an advanced DIGIC4 image processor. This enhances picture quality automatically and has an auto correct feature that works well even for the novice photographer. Price points for these models are from $180 to $400.

If you do not plan to travel a lot or are short on cash, an A series camera will be just right for you. They do not have many functions but are still better than most cellular phone cams. These cameras all come with the DIGICIII image processor. This will auto correct the white balance with each shot. Its face detection feature brings out facial features and fixes skin tones. The many models in this class have different MP. The A470 camera retails for a very affordable $100, others in the A series have a varying price tag.

The recent In the Canon digital cameras are the E series. These cameras are very different in make from the rest. The E1 is the only model in this class yet. It has three different pastel colors to choose from, and a curvy appearance with an different array of controls. This innovative camera is pleasing to the eye and still has some of the features of a mid range camera.

More information about these cams can be found in the Canon site. This should help you a lot better in deciding what cam is best for you.
