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

Mold in the Bathroom

By Rio Calven

Most of us ignore the little known bathroom tile or grout stain known as molds. Sure, aside from feeling icky for the feet, or just plain looking nasty; molds are just harmless little critters, right? They're just...oh, I dunno, plants?

Dead wrong. Molds can trigger a lesser known danger in the household that could very well be the start of future health risks. Mold allergies. Those who have experienced any form of allergy know how risky and dangerous having an attack is. An allergy occurs when your immune system overreacts and overrides bodily functions to expel the irritatant, in the case of molds being the spores that they expel when it is the season for reproduction.

Mold allergies make you cough, sneeze, give you red eyes, and sometimes exhibit the same symptoms as one that would have an asthma attack. This includes restricted airways, difficulty in breathing, and fluids in the lungs. The best thing to do is to take your meds, and remove the source of the problem.

Richmond Tile and Grout Cleaning is one good option to consider, should you want to permanently remove those nasty molds in your grout and in your tiles. The company uses special sealing methods to make sure that no mold or grime would stick to your grout, preventing mold growth and tile rot from below. This is also a good investment for your floors and your bathroom. Millions of dollars are spent and wasted on floor renovations, repairs and enhancement.

Black mold is a silent killer nowadays, hiding in the comfort, moisture and humidity of your bathroom. You can safely control this threat by making sure to air out your bathroom often, keeping it dry to a minimum, wiping the tiles down with a solution of bleach and keep a keen eye out. Prevention is better than a pound of cure.

Some Tips On Buying Used College Textbooks

By Greg Shuey

We all know how buying used college textbooks save a lot of money. It helps you keep up with your lessons even though you have a limited budget. Used college textbooks allow the not-so-well-off students to have a shot at finishing their education in the long run.

When you buy used college textbooks, there are some things you need to do first to make sure that you are not getting ripped off. Here are some of them:

1. Search the Internet for online and offline bookstores that specialize in selling used textbooks. This will save you time, money, and effort. Instead of going around town in search of a good store, you will know where you're headed at before stepping out of the house.

2. Ask friends or people you know who were previously in the same course you are currently taking. Chances are they used the same textbooks. You can buy it from them at a low price. The added bonus here is the notes scribbled on the pages or highlighted texts.

3. Check out the university or college bookstores if they sell used college textbooks. The ones they sell can be cheaper than those sold at bookstores.

4. Before paying for the book, check first for torn or missing pages. A textbook with torn and missing pages is of no use.

5. Look for better bargains. It wouldn't hurt to look at another store that sells cheaper used college textbooks. You'll never know what you can find.

These tips will surely help you find the textbook you need. Remember though that you should not expect a nice-looking book. It's normal for used college textbooks to look worn. As long as it's still readable and is not missing important pages, then you're good to go. The important thing here is that you will have a reference material you can use to study your lessons. How they look is not important; it's the inside that matters.

Amazing Ideas For Making Collages!...

By Anna Meenaghan

Plenty of freedom is afforded when you create collages. Basically you can use anything you like to make up your collage, and not only that, you can express your feelings on it in any way you choose.

Collages can consist of many different types of textures. Some people cut pieces out of magazines, you can use fabric scraps, cardboard, string, wood jewels, silver paper, there are no bounds.

It may be now, that you have to paint your background card, or whatever you may be using. Once it is dry, you can then sketch out your subject, then try different pieces out and find places to position them on your sketch, or backdrop.

At this stage, eliminate anything you are not going to use. You could use crepe paper, but any sort of paper you will need in your collage, is in need of tearing or cutting into various shapes and colour choices.

The glue you actually use to stick your collages is very important to your success. So, if you are using fabrics, you need a glue designed for that purpose. The same applies if you are using paper, as you need to be sure your pieces will hold fast.

The description above is just written as an extremely simple guide for you, but do not follow this too stringently. After all, the perception of the collage is yours alone, let rip and use all manner of things, for example, feathers, leather, pastels, sand, or whatever comes to your artistic mind!

Children are forever making collages from magazine cuttings, newspapers, bottle tops, silver paper, bits of plastic, bottles etc. Other people make quite amazing collages by only using pieces of newspaper print in black and white from our daily papers.

Recent trends seem to lean towards collages made up from assorted photographs. Students and children like doing these to include their friends, family members or family pets.

So, to do a collage, we have established that you need a base and these can differ enormously with the different weights of objects to be applied to it. Your background plays an important part too. It could be that you paste photos or magazine shots, or you may even have to paint it first, but you will need to sketch out the subject.

So, you have all your bits, but you will not be using them all. Decide now which ones are conducive to your work and elimate the remains. This may be the weirdest selection of items you are going to work with, but hey, who cares? They can be as uneven as you like on your mount.

Try and arrange them how you want them and then glue each section carefully. Be patient and wait for this to dry. When your collage is finished you might like to give it a layer of protection with a sealant.

There are then various types of collage, it could become a wall hanging, a framed picture or a mount on a shelf. There are so many possibilities!
