Terry The Sick Kunt

November 29th, 2008

There once was a boy named Terry. He was a nice fella but he had a few issues. One of his biggest issues was that he always tried to be a sick kunt. He used to be like this because he thought he needed to be seen by others in a particular way. This was especially common around the company of girls. Here’s an example of one of his lines to a male friend: Get me a drink bitch!

Now this may sound like normal behaviour between joking friends but I assure you this is different. You see, it is never done when others are not around to witness it. Only around "new friends" or people that don’t know him well will this behaviour be "switched on". Terry may think that if he acts in this way others will think, "This guy is so cool, he talks to his mates as if they are trash. He must be a sick kunt." Sadly, the reality is that people just see Terry as a sad ass homo that needs help. They may even feel a bit sorry for him.

So what’s the moral to this story you ask? Always be yourself, not a science fiction movie character, Snoop Dogg or anyone else for that matter. If that’s not enough for people then fuk ‘em. It’s about gaining respect the proper way - With honesty and integrity. It may take you longer but it will last a lifetime.

General Battery Safety Tips and Reference Guide

November 26th, 2008

1. Don’t Mix Batteries. To prevent equipment damage, and possible injury, never mix batteries with different chemistries or voltages in the equipment at the same time.

2. Keep batteries in original packaging until ready to use. This helps to identify damage, such as swelling and leakage of LiSO2 batteries.

3. Do not use incompatible batteries and chargers.

4. You should purchase manufacturer or carrier recommended products and accessories wherever possible. If unsure about whether a replacement battery or charger is compatible, contact the manufacturer of the battery or charger.

5. Do not accumulate used batteries, dispose of on a regular basis.

6. Do not crush, puncture or put a high degree of pressure on the battery as this can cause an internal short-circuit, resulting in overheating.

7. Do not get your battery wet. Even though they will dry and appear to operate normally, the circuitry could slowly corrode and pose a safety hazard.

8. You should properly dispose of your old batteries and equipment.

9. Follow battery usage, storage and charging guidelines found in the user’s guide.

10. Remove batteries from equipment for long term storage to prevent damage from battery leakage.

11. Don’t force batteries into equipment. The batteries can be hard or dangerous to remove, causing personal injury and/or damaging equipment and battery. 12. Don’t mix new and old batteries in equipment to prevent charging of old batteries by new batteries. This could force the old batteries into voltage reversal and a violent venting. Don’t short circuit (metal tools). 13. Never attempt to charge primary batteries. Even very small charging currents can cause batteries to explode violently.

14. Don’t over discharge batteries. Remove them when they no longer power the equipment.

15. Increase the life span of your battery by following the manufacturer’s directions for using the battery.

What Are The Different Types And Qualities Of Stained Glass?

November 24th, 2008

Many times we meet people who are interested in stained glass, but they haven’t learned enough about it to really be able to tell whether a piece of glass is a true work of art or just a good piece. I once overheard a woman gushing over a piece of glass that had been painted with fake glass paints, the kind that craft stores sell. “Oh, Look at that, I love stained glass, that is just exquisite!” Her comments were nice since she had an appreciation for art glass, but they were also ridiculous because painted fake glass just isn’t in the same class as other techniques and certainly should never be described as “exquisite”.

So that incident prompted me to write this brief description of what the different types and qualities of stained glass are. After reading the following paragraphs, you will be more qualified and more able to distinguish between good glass and great glass than the majority of people you meet. You will be well on your way towards becoming a “Stained Glass Expert.”

1. Brass And Glass - made of Brass pre-shaped metal (or brass encased lead), called “came”. The stained glass is encased in the pre-formed metal and the joints where the metal meets are then soldered. After the panel is completed and soldered, the joints are colored with a brass colored paint so that they look brass.

Advantages: Brass windows match the brass plated hardware on many homes. Brass windows are almost always mass produced, so cost is usually lower than other styles of stained glass.

Disadvantages: Brass windows usually don’t get the glass and metal cemented to each other, so they are not as strong and have a tendency to rattle more often than any other stained glass window. If the panel is sandwiched between tempered glass sheets, the lack of strength is not a big deal.

Quality: This is the lowest quality of stained glass available and is usually found in cheap furniture and mass produced door frames. It hasn’t been around for a long time and is often associated with the cheap waterbeds of the 1960’s.

2. Leaded Glass - refers to both beveled glass and colored glass surrounded by pre-shaped lead, called “came”. The stained glass is encased in lead and the joints where the metal meets are then soldered. The solder and the lead look very similar, so no special treatments are needed in the joints as with brass came. After the panel is completed and soldered, the windows are cemented by forcing cement in under the metal and the glass. Then the exposed glass is cleaned thoroughly.

Advantages: Lead construction is the most common type of stained glass to be found. If cemented well the window is fairly strong. The leaded method is fast to construct, so is quite popular in commercial installations.

Disadvantages: If the window isn’t cemented, the lead will easily stretch over time and the glass shapes will deform quite easily. Windows that are placed in insulated units can’t be cemented because the cement reacts with the desiccant in the foam tape used to create insulated units.

Quality: This is the mid-range of stained glass quality. It’s not bad, just not the best. There is pretty good detail available in this type of panel and it is quite good for many styles of glass design. If it wasn’t fairly good it wouldn’t be found in so many highly respected installations.

3. Copper Foiled or “Tiffany Style” Glass - refers to stained glass construction where each piece of glass is individually wrapped in a copper foil tape and the gaps between the glass are soldered with lead and tin based solder, usually 50/50 mix or 60/40 mix. After the panel is completed it is very strong and pretty often water tight. Chemicals are then added to color the lead lines, either copper, bronze or black. The lines can also be left pewter-like gray or they can be polished to bright shiny silver. It’s often called “Tiffany Style” because the studios of Louis Comfort Tiffany are credited with coming up with the method in the late 1800’s.

Advantages: Copper foiled windows are very strong and allow the artist the most detail of any of the construction methods. It also allows for the most ranges of patinas of the methods discussed. The copper foil method allows an artist to follow contours and so lamp shades and other 3d construction is almost always built using this method.

Disadvantages: It takes a lot of work and is more labor intensive to hand solder each and every solder line in a stained glass window, so these panels usually cost more than the leaded type. Also, because the resulting windows are so very strong, they can develop very slight hairline cracks as the glass expands and contracts in the heat of the day and the cool of the night. These cracks usually develop in the first year after a panel is installed and are minor.

Quality: This is the highest quality of stained glass, but there are different ranges of quality in this style. Imports will often have very thin lead lines not as a design element, but as a way to save money on the amount of lead used to construct the panel. The highest quality of copper foil constructed lamps will feature a built up lead line which will often stand up the same height as an extruded lead line. Best quality soldering will feature very consistent lead lines and few if any areas where the lead has shrunk after cooling.

4. Epoxy Glued Faceted Glass - refers to a technique where thick slabs of glass are broken in rough pieces and glued together using epoxy glue to form the joint between the various pieces of glass. It’s very uncommon and not available in any but the most unusual commercial construction.

Wine Storage Do’s and Don’ts.

November 24th, 2008

Wine begins to spoil the moment it is opened. While short term
exposure to oxygen or “breathing the wine” can open the aromas
and flavours of various red wines, any contact with oxygen
before opening a bottle and its all over, down the sink.

When the wine is in an upright position as many are at your
local liquor store for months and sometime years, the drying out
of the cork will have disastrous effects due to oxidation. So
try to buy wines that are stored lying down, or as becoming more
popular, screw caped bottles.

Keep your wine at home in a wine rack or if you are serious
about your wine collection, keep it in a temperature controlled
wine cellar or cooler.

Heat and humidity are also important to the welfare of your
wine, for longer storage humidity should be around sixty percent
and will keep the corks fresh and expanded.

An ideal temperature range for the longer term storage should be
at about 55 degrees, for storage of up to six months 55 to 70
degrees should be ok, it’s important to realise that wines can
be stressed by variations in temperature so try to keep it
stable by cellaring.

Ultraviolet light affects your wine! That new wine rack you have
in your dining room, sure it looks great in the afternoon sun
but don’t expect the wine to be that way, keep your wine away
from fluorescent lights, sunlight and from heat sources such as
the furnace, hot water heaters, water pipes, other appliances,
and especially the top of your fridge!

It’s clear that proper storage of your wine is critical for day
to day wine and high quality wine that you want to enjoy in
years to come. A wine cellar is your best choice if you have the
space, why not make it a special place incorporating a bar and
tasting facilities. If you can’t cellar your wine or prefer to
buy wines that are ready to drink a good quality wine rack kept
in the basement, under a stairwell, or other cool area of your
home is a must.

and building a home wine cellar.

Cozyin’ Up to Winter

November 24th, 2008

Doesn’t winter just make you want to light lots of candles? Me too! Here are some more ideas to cozy up your home for winter! Don’t have a fireplace? Make a collection of similar colored candles along a wall-mounted wide decorative ledge…it will feel like a mantle. Hang a piece of art above it, and you have really created that cozy fireplace feeling.

Do have a fireplace but don’t want the hassles of burning wood? Get that double row of candle holders that sit in the fireplace. Being a wood fire aficionado, I was amazed the first time I lit all of the candles at how much light they gave off and the ambiance it added to the room. I was a candle girl from then on and never looked back! If you group candles on a tray, remember they’re portable…they can go to whatever room you want to cheer up. Don’t forget the bathroom…nothing like a luxurious soak in a tub of bubbles to the glow of candles, soft music and your favorite “read”. (Be sure to hang the “Do Not Disturb” sign on the bathroom door!) Nestle candles into a shallow bowl filled with sand, rice, pebbles, faux pearls or beads. Add faux fur pillows or a throw to your sofa…so warm to the touch! Also use it to snuggle under by the fire or watch a TV movie. They’re also a luxurious touch to a bedroom on the bed or a chair. You can even use one on a chair in the entry to add a little drama coming into your home.

Sleep on a king-size down pillow and drift off and wake up in luxury. Add a down pad to the top of your mattress. (Anything that creates the “B&B” feeling everyday is cozy not only for winter but all year long!) Get the biggest, softest cotton bathroom rug you can find…the moment your toes touch that softness, you will think you are at a spa. Chenille rugs are great for that feeling and now come in more colors than white and off white. Add some small accent lights to your home. You know the kind…soft glow, don’t take a lot of electricity but add lots of coziness. Consider adding them to your entry, bathroom or even kitchen island. Don’t forget those highly decorative nightlights you can indulge in now - choose from fancy shades with beads, feather or faux fur trims. Exchange some of your artwork with themes that make you feel cozy in winter. A snowy scene can take you away to another place and time. Place decorative colored glass items (vases, bowls, etc.) so the daylight or candlelight catches them. Try window sills, green house windows in the kitchen, and window ledges by the tub. As you can see, there are an endless array of ideas that can be used to create a cozy home. If you would like a” winter design walk-through” for additional seasonal ideas, call One Day Design at 1.888.567.3334 to schedule an appointment.

Kitchen Bar Stools - They’re Not Just For Breakfast Anymore!

November 21st, 2008

The kitchen bar stools in your home may be among the most used seats in the house. It’s not uncommon to see a child sitting there doing their homework while mom or dad is preparing breakfast or dinner. Often, while leaving the “at work” mode and entering the “at home” mode, the kitchen bar stool is a convenient place to sit and sort the mail while having a snack or drink. Good friends will often sit on the bar stools in the kitchen in order to converse with us better as we finish getting a meal ready, and then the children will take over the bar stools as the adults move to the dinning table for the meal.

As homes with larger kitchens have become more and more popular, many homes now have a kitchen/dining area with overhang counters. Thus the kitchen bar stool has become increasingly more popular.

There are many designs to choose from. In fact, there are so many different kinds of kitchen bar stools, that it can become a challenge to decide which style is best for you. How tall should they be? Should they have a back? Should they have arms? Should they swivel? Should your kitchen bar stools be made of wood, metal, wrought iron, or something else? The answers to some of these questions are easy to determine while others are purely choices of preference.

Here are a few tips on selecting the “right” kitchen bar stools:

As mentioned above, most kitchen bar stools get a lot of use, and that means a lot of abuse! So you may want to select stools that are made of materials that can withstand the inevitable. For kitchen use, avoid stools that are made from soft woods, this is especially true if the stools have a back or arms. With the high volume of traffic that many kitchens get, these stools would get scratched very quickly. You might consider wrought iron, stainless steel, aluminum, chrome, or a hard wood.

Generally, it is recommended to allow 12 inches from the top of the stool cushion to the bottom of the counter or table. If you select kitchen bar stools with arms, make sure the top of the arms will slide under the table or counter.

The cushions for your stools should be able to handle regular use. If you choose either leather or vinyl for your kitchen bar stool cushions, avoid the temptation to get a thin grade.

When choosing kitchen bar stools, think outside the kitchen. In other words, where else might the stools be used? Might they be used in the TV or game room on occasion? If this is something you expect to happen, select a stool that is light enough to be easily moved. The heavier they are, the more likely they are to be dragged over your floors.

In our fast paced lives, we don’t often sit down at the table to eat. Instead of carrying food to the table, we grab the nearest stool and have a quick bite on our way out in the morning. We often do the same thing when we are coming home in the evening, since we often have to turn around and go back out.

Truly the humble kitchen bar stool isn’t just for breakfast anymore!
