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

Jeeps For Sale - Have A Look

By George Jonas

It is always important to know about the product or the machine you want to buy. It would be wise to have the basic idea of what you would have to check before you buy it. Very recently I have seen jeeps for sale sign and wondered what kind of jeeps he is talking about.

I have this fascination for jeeps and I would like you to know that there are many kinds of jeeps including the Willy jeeps, custom jeeps, civilian jeeps, ww2 jeeps, the grand Cherokee and others.

What kind of jeep you are looking for depends on what exactly your needs are and what will be best suited for your use. Suppose you come across a hardly used almost fresh piece for sale, you should enquire in detail why it is being sold. If you feel that you are getting the jeep for a really cheap rate, remember to enquire about the jeep's warranty details and question the owner about the low price. There may be some flaws lurking some where, so beware before you decide to buy it. Don't take any rash decisions `in a hurry.

You will have to take more precautions and check many things before you buy a second hand. First you better find out why he wants to sell the jeep. No matter what reason he gives, you must get the vehicle checked by your personal mechanic to assess its condition.

You should also instruct your personal mechanic to check if the vehicle has been through any accidents. Asking the owner alone cannot find an answer to this. He might not be truthful.

There is one thing you mustn't forget to ask and that is if the vehicle had met with any accidents. Once again no matter what the owner says it's better if you get it checked by a personal mechanic. In case of military jeeps that go through the rough and rugged plains, you need to check for cracks in those parts that take the maximum pressure. Do check if the engine runs smoothly when you take it for a drive.

If you find that by all means this is the best deal available in the market, only then put your money on that. Wish you get a jeep that solid as a stone.

Find Out Why Most Homeowners Prefer Gel Ventless Fireplaces!

By John Hogan

First and foremost, a gel ventless fireplace is the safest type among all ventless fireplaces. Aside from this, it is also safer than the traditional fireplace types which make use of natural gas or wood, and require a chimney to function. The one powered by natural gas or propane causes a deposit buildup over time. When this happens, the gas jets become obstructed. This then, results in a fire that is not burning properly. In addition, a propane leakage is very possible because the fittings used for the gas line could loosen easily. Propane or natural gas is extremely hazardous.

Wood burning fireplaces, on the other hand, can cause chimney clogging because of the hot embers that drift up and out of it. These embers are also capable of popping out of the fireplace screen. This is opposite with a gel ventless fireplace. Since this type requires no vents or chimneys, what is there to clog? Aside from that, servicing is not needed for a gel ventless fireplace.

Another reason why this type of fireplace is a wise choice is the fact that it has eliminated for you the task of hiring a professional to do the installation because doing it yourself is very easy! In fact, assembling and NOT installing is all that you have to do. And there is absolutely no probable reason for you not to be able to assemble it. Nevertheless, in the event that you indeed cannot do it, you will, without a doubt, know someone else who can do it for you instead. A package comes with a detailed and easy-to-follow user manual. In less than an hour, your fireplace would be crackling.

Another benefit of a gel ventless fireplace is its extreme affordability. As a matter of fact, it is the cheapest fireplace type. For the traditional types, just the parts would cost you an amount ranging from $3,000-$10,000. Then there are still the expenses for the contractor who would install it. A gel ventless type, on the other hand, requires an amount that would not reach $1,000 for everything already, including the gel fuel to be used.

This type, although incapable of producing tremendous heat, saves up all of your valuable heat. Since it has no chimney or vent, every ounce of heat produced is also kept in. Not the slightest amount is lost. And despite its inability to produce a great amount of heat, it can produce enough to provide warmth during a chilly day.

One of the characteristics of a gel ventless fireplace loved most by homeowners is the fact that it is portable. Portable here literally means you can have it ANYWHERE. Put it in the bathroom, kitchen, on top of the cabinet, at the patio, at the corner of a room, or even with you to the mountains of Siberia! Wherever you decide to put it or take it to, there is no problem with it. It is virtually self-contained. Regardless of the place, it can provide a vibrant crackling fire.

Affordable Cross Country Movers: Top Tips Movers Don't Want Your To Learn

By Vernita Herewinika

Affordable moving can be a very stressful time in your life. You will especially feel that stress in your wallet. Nevertheless, there are many ways to save money even if you are planning to hire an affordable moving company.

The main way you can save on moving expenses is to cut back on supplies. Packing things securely is the most important aspect of moving. You may think you need to spend a lot of money to protect your possessions, but read on.

The number one priority for you will be to get enough boxes. All the things that make your house a home, such as photographs, decor, etc, need to be packed well to prevent damage and breakage. Boxes of different sizes can be provided by a moving company, but at a high price. If you have friends that have recently moved, ask if you can take their excess boxes off their hands.

You can also check with stores and warehouses in your area to see if they will allow you to take some boxes off their hands. In general, stores will be open to provide your with their left over boxes of the size you need as long as you agree to pick them up soon after they're done stacking their shelves - usually between 10PM and midnight.

Sometimes, you need very large boxes and you can get these from warehouse or appliance stores. These boxes are usually sturdy and well made, which makes them ideal for electronic items that might be fragile. If you have posters, artwork, or other important documents, consider obtaining cardboard mailing tubes from law firms or construction companies.

Usually, moving companies use bubble wrap and inflated plastic bags to protect fragile items. However, these packing materials are quite expensive, and are really not needed for most of your items. Consider using newspaper instead: it is cheap and if you get a daily paper you'll quickly accumulate enough to move two households! Ask your friends or local businesses if you can have their old newspapers. Doing so will get you great free packing materials!

You can also ask your friends to save the packing peanuts in merchandise shipped to their homes and if you know far enough in advance, spread the word during the Christmas season for people to save excelsior, peanuts, and other cushioning materials.

Fragile items may be wrapped with your household linens. If you think that your bed sheets are too delicate, you may visit a local thrift store. Several quilts would cost you the same as you would pay to rent just one cushioned furniture wrap from a moving company!

Some moving companies will offer you a discount if you agree to let them store your items for a short period of time so that they combine several loads being delivered in your area. If you don't need your items immediately, consider this great way to save money.

Finally, look up moving company reviews in consumer publications and on the Internet. People who have used the services will often give their own tips on saving money and negotiating rates.

A Review of Popular Car GPS Systems

By Joseph Aaron

Motor Vehicles have been a handy means of getting around for years, but there have been trips when time and gas are squandered or destinations are bypassed entirely because of incorrect maps or poor directions. To eliminate these quandries and enable you to enjoy a rewarding driving experience, vehicle mounted GPS devices are now here to aid us and are quite affordable for most commuters. It is best to take a GPS device on road trips to be certain that the quickest route is available. The effectiveness of specific GPS devices varies by different manufacturers. To keep things interesting, extra programs are available on certain models to maintain market share and multiply the fun factor. Here are several of the more practical ones that warrant examining. A nice option to consider is the Garmin Nuvi 1350 Portable GPS Navigator.

Garmin Nuvi 265W

The problem with many of the budget Car GPS devices is that their feature list is so small that one is unsure whether the design is totally finished. The Garmin Nuvi is a stripped down piece of equipment, but it manages to retain all the more useful features and level of performance a person would expect from its better developed colleagues ? the 705 and 805 series. Voice generating software is incorporated so you will not need to read the screen while driving and it should prove remarkably simple to set up for the amateur. The cost might not work with everyone?s cash reserves, but with its powerful applications and minimal drawbacks, this Garmin Nuvi is a great value at any price.

TomTom ONE Classic and Routes edition

TomTom ONE devices seem to have purchase prices that are far below their actual value, but its functions and specifications tell just why Tom Toms ONEs are dirt cheap. Their ease of use is ineffective and several of the performance features like Bluetooth and text-to-speech won?t be provided by nearly any of the models. Even though earlier models weren?t very sought after by middle to lower income customers, new ONE systems were offered, including a few with widescreens and a few more with special features such as advanced lane guidance, which is only available in the Routes edition. The classic edition does not have this feature, but the price could be low enough to at least consider. Another model to look into is the Garmin Nuvi 1350 GPS Navigation System.

Magellan Roadmate 1212

The Magellan Maestro products are the most popular Magellan products as they hit the market first, although the Roadmate 1212 should very quickly eclipse the Maestro because of its slender dimensions and also its tiny price tag. The acceptable performance and the simple user interface easily makes this a practical purchase if you are willing to tolerate the slow menu button response. The text-to-speech program is additionally available, but using it too long can easily drain the battery which means you may spend your time charging the battery within 3 hours. A great alternative is the Garmin Nuvi 1350 Portable GPS Navigator.

Bottom Line

With regards to lower priced Car GPS products, you may understandably be forced to choose between price and feature list. Garmin Nuvi easily dominates with its few annoyances, but the Magellan and the Tom Tom are cheaper. The most practical thing to do is to invest in a Garmin Nuvi unless you plan on letting your GPS device get in the way of your driving.

A Few Hints To Help You Design Engagement Rings

By Jan Rooss

One of the most important and memorable events in your life is the day you get engaged. This makes the ring also very important.


Before you go and spend all your hard earned money at your local jewelry store you might want to shop around a bit for a great quality engagement ring at a greatly reduced price. This can be done by designing your own engagement ring.

You can do this by finding a wholesale company selling diamonds that can also provide a service where you can design engagement rings.

First of all you will need to choose your diamond by using the 4 Cs selection process. The best diamond to choose is one without color indicating the highest quality, the highest quality cut, the highest clarity and the largest carat.


Once the diamond is selected the next step wold be to choose the setting. You can choose a prong setting if you want to highlight the stone with a tight grip. Choose a channel setting if you want the stone to have a flowing look to it. If you chose a princess cut diamond I would recommend you choose a bezel setting as it protects the edges of the diamond really good.

The last step is to choose the ring itself. Here you can choose between white gold, platinum, yellow gold etc. You would have to know what type of ring your girlfriend likes such as a solitaire or a two or three stone ring. I chose a solitaire ring in white gold.


Etchings and other finishing touches can also be added to the ring.

The result is a home designed engagement ring that has a stone of the highest quality but a fraction of the cost that will be absolutely unique. You wife to be will adore it.

Great New Games For The iPhone

By Thom Yarborough

For those moments when you're sitting around with your friends and there's nothing to do; all you need to do it, look at your iPhone for inspiration and you'll find tones! There are plenty of new games to play with friends and have loads of fun. Just one look at these funky new games in the iTunes store and you won't have a thing to regret!

Doodle Dots

Everyone has played the classic game of dots where you have to connect dots and make more squares than your opponent. Using the same concept, here also you have to do the same thing. Play with a friend and try to fill in as many squares as possible with your chosen color. Those with the most squares filled with their color obviously win! There are 3 different board sizes and difficulty levels which makes it a fun game to play.

Fly Must Die

Idle pursuits are all you plan to spend your day on, and then this game is perfect for you. In this game you have to kill flies with chopsticks. Now that is nowhere as absurd as you think it is, because the rules of the game entail that the fly must hit the exact tip of the chopstick or it will fly away. You can score different points by killing different coloured flies.

Knock Knock Zombies

This game is for those little kids in your house who can't let go of their fascination for your iPhone seeing you tap on it. Now this could work on two extreme ways for you: they could love the game and harass you even more for it, or they could get frightened by it and not want it ever again. Though chances of the latter happening doesn't seem likely! What the deal is, that every time they tap on the door of a crypt, a different zombie comes out of it screaming its guts out; it sounds scary but that isn't really the case.

Push - Push

While this game may not be suitable for kids but adults sure can have fun with it! In this game you are an assassin and you have to kill the presented target with home appliances. The target keeps moving so you have to be careful because you might end up hitting a civilian or something else and then the game only gets tougher.
