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

How You As A Parent Can Help Your Teenager Become A Safer Driver

By Everet Oscavary


For teens, learning how to drive is a rite of passage and as a parent you should be just as involved in this stage of his life. You can enhance your teen's safety by assuring that he or she has adequate instruction by signing him or her up for driving lessons in Newcastle. Formal driving lessons are particularly important for young drivers because they are involved in more motor-vehicle collisions than any other age group. However, apart from signing your child up for Newcastle driving lessons, you should also do on-road training with him in between sessions or prior to starting his formal driving lessons. Here are some tips when practicing with your teenager.

When you do an on-road training with your teen, make sure that you are relaxed, ready, and have ample time. You should also be patient, sympathetic, and understanding. Your child is already tense as it is, so you should try to stay calm and have a calming demeanor about you as well. When you have your first lessons, make sure to do it in a quiet area with no traffic congestion. While there is no denying that learning how to drive during bad weather is an essential skill to develop, you should first allow your child to master driving in good weather.

As your teenager becomes more comfortable behind the wheel, slowly progress to more difficult road, weather, and traffic conditions. Once he has mastered how to drive during daylight, introduce him to night driving, too. Since your car does not have dual brakes, make sure to sit in a position where you can quickly grab the steering wheel or step on the brake, if necessary. In addition, you should remind your child to wear a seatbelt, too even if you are just training.When you're giving directions to your child while driving, do it in a clear and calm manner well in advance so that he or she will have enough time to follow them.

Also, keep in mind that you should tell your son or daughter where you want something performed, before telling him what you want him to perform. For example, you must say "At the next intersection, turn left. If you're going to instruct him with, "Turn left on the intersection," it is likely that he would already make the left turn before you can say "intersection." Also, you should respond to his questions with "correct" instead of "right" because the latter can be confused as a direction of where he should go.

Moreover, you should not simply tell him to "stop" because this can catch him by surprise. Rather, you should direct him to "Bring the car to a stop." Still, the most effective method of teaching your young driver how to be a safer and more responsible road user is to set an example. You should obey all traffic rules and be a courteous driver.

Preventing Injuries While Using A Grease Gun

By Grace Gable


Grease gun is an indispensable tool that is utilized in shop floors, auto repair stores and several other heavy duty industrial applications. The re-lubrication process is greatly simplified by the use of this tool as it injects grease at the pressures of 5000, 10,000 even 15000 psi. However, technicians using this tool need to be extensively trained. They should follow the safety rules that are mentioned in this article. Only when they understand the safety basics can operators of this device like mechanics, and shop-floor attendants protect their hands and fingers from grievous injuries.

Many auto repair-shops make extensive use of needle point fittings and often use the needle-point to puncture and fill grease in polymer-sealed bearings. A pneumatic grease gun can exert pressures of the order of 246 to 5000 psi. If the needle happens to slip and pierce the skin at this pressure, the grease can get injected inside the wrist or palm.

Lever or manually operated grease guns can exert even higher pressures of the order of 15000 psi. Experts however feel that hand operated guns are a lot safer, as compared to pneumatic or air grease guns, because they employ both hands for using the gun. This minimizes the risk to fingers and hands.

Injuries like these often begin with a sharp, pricking pain which may be negligible in the beginning. Due to this, grease gun operators tend to ignore the pain and find that their hand is swollen after a while. After a few days, the pain intensity increases and the hand/finger may even be gangrenous. Such injuries must never be ignored and medical attention must be sought as soon as possible.

Modern grease guns all come with safety accessories and fittings. But, many times these are rendered useless. Small and closed fittings which are present in tight places require the grease gun nipples to be positioned in a particular manner. Protective covers must be used whenever it is possible, especially for the sharp pointed grease guns. In fact, many countries have strict rules and laws regarding the use of such protective covers for the safety of labor. But technicians, in their hurry o grease several cars, tend to ignore these basic safety rules. Such covers often increase the time taken for greasing ans mechanics consider them a hindrance.

In many cases factors like poor lighting, dirt and grime covering the grease nipples, and wrong fittings for the nipples may also lead to severe injuries. Each of these situations can be prevented by using uncovered needle tip and keeping one's hands and fingers clear off the needle before the trigger on the gun is pressed. Operators must remember that the effects of grease under the skin can be serious and long term. So they must ensure using adequate lighting under cars and trucks and also ensure that the safety sleeves and grease nipples on the grease gun are free of dirt prior to usage.

Guidelines For Selecting the Right Diet

By James Steele


It is always easier to continue making an effort, when the likelihood of success are good, and that goes for dieting, also. Just the phrase going on a diet, means that you are going to change your eating in some way, so pick a way that has a chance of working. We have some helpful pointers to give you, so that your weight loss goals will be easier to accomplish, by having the right diet.

Losing weight without exercising is a claim that some diet programs make. This is unlikely to be effective, especially in the long term. The only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you eat, and that is what exercise if for, to burn more calories, so without exercise, you will need to eat a lot less calories. One reason for losing weight is to become healthy again, so what good will it do if you use methods that are not healthy. When exercise and weight loss are linked together, the exercise doesn't need to be overly strenuous. Starting an exercise program isn't easy, unless it is something you have done before, and just haven't done for a while.

Any new system should be given time, before deciding if it works or is simply another system reworked. Anyone can put something on the internet without proof, or bogus proof, so don't buy into anything too quickly, without a little evidence from the author. Find plenty of customer reviews if it is a book. Verified testimonials from doctors and experts are the best forms of proof. Anyone can publish a diet book, but you don't want to waste your time on something that has no hard science behind it.

The main purpose of calorie shifting is to not let your metabolism slow down like most low-calorie diets, by allowing you to eat enough every few days to keep your metabolism going. Starvation mode is what your body goes into when not enough food is eaten, which happens with a lot of diets, but calorie shifting prevents this.

Finding the right plan can be different for different people, and that's what this article discussed. Only your own actions and attitudes toward the diet will allow it to be the best diet for you. If you want to make a diet work, you will need to choose to make it work, and always be serious about it.
