MICRO FIBER CLOTH

noreply@blogger.com (Jaja) — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 01:57:00 +0000

The Best Cloth For Cleaning & Washing A Vehicle.

Micro fiber cloths appeared for non-commercial use about four years ago. They are sold mostly for automobile care, but can be used for house cleaning and other maintenance needs.
Micro fiber cloth is a synthetic knit fiber of very small threads. The cloth is both soft and abrasive at such a micro level that you can’t feel it. Since it is made of so many small fibers, it is very absorbent, yet can be wrung almost dry like a chamois (shammy). Since it is synthetic, it holds dust, dirt, and bugs well, but rinses out easily, with very little being absorbed into the cloth.

Technique of Washing:

Placing your vehicle in a shady place.Hose off most of the loose dust and dirt. If a hose is not practical, such as in a camp ground , use a bucket of water and the micro fiber cloth. Apply water from the bottom of the vehicle up to avoid streaks.

Soak the micro fiber cloth with plain water, and wash a quarter of the car. Wash your car first, and the wheels last; this will lessen the chance of picking up debris that will scratch your vehicle. Rinse your cloth often. The bugs and specks of dirt will come loose from the finish with very little rubbing. If some spots don’t come free on the first go-around, come back to them after the entire quarter has been washed.

Rinse the area that was washed, or wipe it down with a very wet micro fiber cloth.

Wipe the water off the area with a micro fiber cloth, wringing it damp dry as often a necessary. This will spread the water into a fine film that will not spot the finish. You can also hit any missed spots with the damp micro fiber cloth.

Take your clean, dry micro fiber cloth and wipe the area one more time, completely removing any of the fine film of moisture. You will completely polish and shine the finish, chrome and glass.

Throw the dirty micro fiber cloths into the wash.

Tips Micro Fiber Cloth From Amazon

* You can get micro fiber cloths all over the Internet .
* Don’t use fabric softener or bleach when you wash the micro fiber cloths.
* If you have a large vehicle, have several sets of cloths, especially the
one used at the end to dry the vehicle.
* When rinsing do not use a strong stream of water. Gently flood with an open
hose.The water will sheet off rather than leave droplets on the surface.
A strong stream may also penetrate areas that should remain dry.

KIDS HEALTH AND FITNESS

noreply@blogger.com (Jaja) — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 12:40:00 +0000

Start exercising. There are so many ways to exercise such as playing Wii Fit, running around with your friends, riding your bike , kicking a ball, shooting hoops, skipping, dancing, martial arts, playing a sport and swimming are a few fun activities which will help your fitness. Find something your really enjoy and stick with it.

Drink lots of water. Aim for at least 8 glasses of water and stay away from sodas. Have a balanced diet with fruits and vegetables, and lean meat (fish, chicken). Don't skip meals as your body actually stores fat

when you miss meals. This means your metabolism (which burns fat) slows down and instead store fat so the body can continue working.

Eat in moderation. If you eat slowly, the brain has more time to know you are full.

Get 8-10 hours of sleep.Believe it or not, the sleep you get at night actually helps you get thinner. It helps rest your metabolism, and prepare it for fat burning the next day.

Don't sit around all day. Go run around and ride your bike daily. Its fun to kick a ball around. And even that helps you burn calories!

Newbie With Camera Digital

noreply@blogger.com (Jaja) — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 13:26:00 +0000

Join the digital
revolution.

You're often startled by terms as DSLR,Cyber-Shot and more..

Newbies tend to play a round clicking posing but seldom want to know the real secrets. The cool secrets of photography.

Here is a merely an advice to you.
You need to make sure you know how to use your digital camera before any special occasion or vacation coming up. Go ahead and grab your instruction manual and get started.

You need to see what all your buttons can do, what menu you need to find to
enhance your resolution and so much more.

Aside from reading how everything works, you also need to play around with it
You can't screw anything up, you can most likely even find out how to restore your settings to your default which is the way it was right when you took it out of the box.

Many cameras can do so many things and have so many gadgets it can be overwhelming at first, but it is natural to not understand everything that first evening of playing around with it. You might have difficulties in understanding the artistic terms or the photography language as beginner.

Dont worry!

Later, it is all about going rough. It is all about the adventure. It is all about feeling the thrill. It is all about experiencing the adrenaline that comes with the whole thing. These are all that is what is important for you. And that is something that you really do love.You would try different types of activities that make your blood rush. And you just continue on doing so because it is what makes you happy. Record all your adventures, you can actually do so. Record your adventures as you see and as you feel it without others help.Share to the world the actual feeling that you feel while you are in that very moment of action.

You all love this.. . Kevin Carter shared his powerful shot to the WORLD.

Found in his diary,

Dear God, I promise I will never waste my food no matter how bad it can taste and how full I may be. I pray that He will protect this little boy, guide and deliver him away from his misery. I pray that we will be more sensitive towards the world around us and not be blinded by our own selfish nature and interests. I hope this picture will always serve as a reminder to us that how fortunate we are and that we must never ever take things for granted.
Please don't break.. keep on forwarding to our friends on this good day.. Let's make a prayer for the suffering in anywhere any place around the globe and send this friendly reminder to others; think & look at this...when you complain about your food and the food we waste daily.........

Beauty And Myth

noreply@blogger.com (Jaja) — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 14:15:00 +0000

Blue sapphire

Sapphire Ring

The Zodiac
Sapphire is the birthstone for those who are born in September. As for the Zodiac, it is regarded as the stone for the Taurus. If a Taurus wears a sapphire, it will protect one from and cure one's mental disorders.

Through history, sapphire symbolizes truth, sincerity, and faithfulness in relationships, and to bring peace, joy and wisdom to the wearer and owner. In the past, the sapphire was also believed to be a talisman that would protect you against evil spirits and other unsavory creatures of the night. The ancients regarded star sapphires as a powerful talisman protecting travelers and seekers. They were so powerful, they would continue protecting the wearer even after being passed on to another person.

Abbes Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179) chronicled the healing powers of gemstones in her book Physica. According to her view, gemstone are formed through the powerful combination of water and fire, therefore they hold powers corresponding to these phenomena. She also believed that each stone had a certain, divine blessing from God. She said this about sapphire: Who is dull and would like to be clever, should, in a sober state, frequently lick with the tongue on a sapphire, because the gemstone's warmth and power, combined with the saliva's moisture, will expel the harmful juices that affect the intellect. Thus, the man will attain a good intellect.

The beauty of blue sapphire is such that it creates a mystery about itself. The word sapphire comes from the Latin word "saphirus", meaning blue. Its history dates back to 800 B.C.

It keeps away illness and brings peace and prosperity to its owner. It's the birthstone of the month of September. It's considered to be a good gift to be given on 20th or 45th wedding anniversary.

Best sapphire stones are found in Kashmir (India), Burma and Sri Lanka.

Discovered over 100 years ago, the Kashmir sapphire has a lovely, velvety blue color prized by gem lovers. Burmese sapphires can also be fine, but like the Kashmir region, these two areas today produce very little material.
Today Sri Lanka and Madagascar produces most of the fine sapphires on the market. You can find a wide range of beautiful blues, from soft sky blue colors to deeply saturated hues.

Your Health - Be a Better You

noreply@blogger.com (Jaja) — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 08:23:00 +0000

Many people will have resolutions to do with their health. Unfortunately some of these will be the same as last years and maybe some years before that too.

The problems arise in two ways. Firstly, our beliefs. What we believe is a function of our collective past experiences. This includes both the results of our previous actions but also our observations of what other people have done. If we have tried to get fit in the past and have not then our belief system will tell us it cannot be done.

If we believe that our ideas can be brought to reality, we will set about doing them. If we believe they are not possible, then it is likely that the idea will go no further. There is a third option which sometimes is the default one where people set out to do something but deep down do not really believe they will succeed.
Many people fall into the third category as described above where they set out on an exercise program or to improve their diet, and despite good intentions deep down, they do not actually believe that they will succeed. This is usually based on past experiences.

Yet if you look around, people have done it and there are countless stories of success. This means it can be done. In turn this means that for you to succeed the first step will be a change in your beliefs and mindset.
Secondly there is a lack of a plan. The resolution to "get fit" is noble but vague. A plan to work out for 30 minutes, 4 times a week with the time and place written in your diary is specific, measurable and much more likely to be acted on.

The twin problems of beliefs and lack of a plan can be overcome. You may need to work at them, as it may be a new experience. That's fine. Nothing that is worthwhile comes without effort. Equally it is effort (note not struggle!) that brings rewards.

Another component is knowledge. What you need is a guide to better health complete with tips, simple ideas and knowledge that is easy to understand and easy to apply.
Believe that you can, have a DIY Health action plan that you follow and start now with a gift to your self - the decision to be a better you.

First Signs of Lung Cancer

noreply@blogger.com (Jaja) — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 07:37:00 +0000

Lung cancer is a major killer of men and women across the country. Air pollutants, secondhand smoke, cigarette smoking especially, and other causative factors contribute to the disease.

Most of us think that the lung cancer is mostly common among the cigarette smokers and it is true that the vast majority of cases are or were smokers. But there are non-smokers do get lung cancer and smokers who don't get it.

Signs of lung cancer are often not apparent in the early stages. However it is better to identify lung cancer as possible.

The most common early symptom of lung cancer is haemoptysis (coughing up blood). Consider this early symptom a warning sign of a cancer, which may be curable.

If you find that you are coughing up blood, you should immediately contact your doctor , especially if you are 40 years of age, or older, with a long-term smoking habit.

Some of the primary signs include:

* Hacking, persistent cough

* Coughing up blood

* Shortness of breath

* Wheezing

* Chest pain

* Lost appetite

* Lost weight

* Recurring bronchitis or pneumonia

The above symptoms also being the symptoms of many other lung problems, so it is always advisable to see a physician to ascertain the cause

Secondary signs of simple cell lung cancer include:

* Weakness

* Difficulty swallowing

* Changes in nails

* Hoarse or raspy voice

* High fever

* Swelling of facial features

It's true that most symptoms of lung cancer do not show themselves until the disease is in its advanced stages.

However, sometimes people exhibit signs early in the disease's development. It is imperative that the first notice of symptoms or concern sends you straight to the doctor.

The sooner treatment is begun, the better. A cure is possible if caught early enough and, if not, then a better quality of life and more of it.

When lung cancer spreads to other parts of the body, organs and bones, referred to as 'metastasizing', signs and symptoms include:

* Aching and sharp bone pain

* Changes in the brain that exhibit themselves through weakness, numbness, dizziness, and seizure

* Jaundice (whites of eyes, nails, and skin yellow

* Masses near the skin's surface

* Headaches

* Numbness and loss of sensation in your extremities

All of these signs and symptoms of lung cancer may be caused by other health problems. The only way to know for sure is to consult a doctor as soon as possible.

Regain Your Health and Vitality by Learning Different Ways to Detoxify the Body

noreply@blogger.com (Jaja) — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 09:43:00 +0000

In this industrialized age of pollution, toxins are all around us and we are breathing them and eating them every day. All these toxins can build up in your body resulting in loss of energy, premature aging and illness which is why it's critical to study the different ways to detoxify the body in order for you to regain your health and vitality.
Your body actually has a natural detoxification system which includes the skin, the kidneys, the liver and the colon. When you are younger, and less toxins have built up in your body, it works pretty good at getting out everything that you ingest. But as you age, it simply can't keep up with all the toxins we are exposed to. What ends up happening is these toxins build up in the body causing all kinds of illness and making you feel sluggish, lackluster and tired.
Luckily, you can get rid of the toxins and regain your vitality by going on a simple detox program. Now, there are quite a few ways to detoxify the body, many of which include herbal concoctions that you take either as a drink or a series of pills. Some people swear by fasting and others say that including a good colon cleanse in your detoxification program is a must. No matter what you choose for a plan, you want to make sure you address the basic organs such as the liver, the kidneys and the colon to be sure to detoxify your whole body at one time as you don't want any toxins lingering around.
Body detoxification has actually been done for centuries and is quite common in Eastern medicine where fasting is part of the medical regimen. While some people claim a 30 day fast is best, anything more than three days should really be done under the supervision of your doctor as it can be rather dangerous. When fasting, you want to prepare your own juice from fresh organic vegetables. You can't rely on juice from the store because it is pasteurized and doesn't have all the vital enzymes, plus you never know what they're putting in it! Organic is important because you don't want to juice vegetables that have been slathered in pesticides or you'll just be drinking in a glass full toxins.
Today, detoxification takes on many forms but most of the herbal programs still use the same herbs that have been proven over the centuries to be effective in detoxification. Colon cleanses are quite popular and they say it's the best way to remove impacted fecal matter and stored up toxins from your digestive system. Chelation therapy is becoming a popular method of detoxification which helps remove the toxic metals from our body and is said to have promise in helping to remove plaque from your arteries.
No matter which of the ways to detoxify the body you feel is best for you, the important thing to do is to adopt a healthier lifestyle that exposes you to less toxins. Eating organic foods, making sure you use natural soaps and shampoos and installing a good water filter on the water coming into your home will help eliminate some of the toxins are exposed to on a day-to-day basis. Eating healthy foods, exercising, living a healthy lifestyle and embarking on a detox every year will help keep you young, vibrant and healthy.

Improve Your Photography - One Simple Way to Take Better Photographs

noreply@blogger.com (Jaja) — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 02:50:00 +0000

I have been using DSLRs for a few years now and consider myself reasonably proficient in knowing how to use the cameras manual controls in order to achieve good, well exposed photographs. However I recently discovered a technique that has enabled me to take much better photographs that have a much better visual impact.
What I have done is started to shoot with a film camera, something I have not done in several years. There are several reasons why shooting with film has made me improve my photography.
The main reason is that shooting with film really makes you think much harder about each shot before pressing the shutter release button. When you are limited to just 24 or 36 exposure (per roll of film) as opposed to limitless memory card space you are forced to make sure each shot is a good one.
Typically when shooting digitally I would tend to take 5-10 shots of the same subject, tweaking the cameras settings (exposure, white balance etc) each shot until i got a pleasing exposure. After shooting with film I now realize that I was concentrating too much on exposure and not enough on subject and composition.
I have been shooting film with a simple (but good quality) 35mm zone focusing camera where the only change I need to make before taking a shot is to select the correct focus distance (from 3 available options) to use. By having far less to think about in terms of camera settings I found my mind was free to focus fully on what i was shooting and make sure the composition and subject matter were the most interesting possible.
It has been said before but what I have learned from this is that shooting digitally for too long made me a lazy photographer. Experimenting with film has forced me to concentrate on the most important aspects of photography, subject and composition.

You can learn more about my experience with shooting on film on my photography blog.

The second questions turned up that could give you a lot of explainations.. taking more than 'earth hour'.
Sometimes we have to sweat out to tell them kids.

Good luck to the lucky parents.

Fifteen Minutes Of My Time

noreply@blogger.com (Jaja) — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 13:43:00 +0000

WHAT I did...in 15 minutes or so..saving $15 or more..

Besides having my car washed, polished on my own, keeping tyres black and clean could save some dimes in my pocket.The economic downturn sure turns me panic at first. But now no more. There are ways cutting cost to save certain bills. Middle class group like me there is ample time to get some collectible hobbies. Something that could cut cost is more favourable. Even mothers at home could join me.

Yes, one question what happens if there is a dead bulb in one of the tail lights of your car?

Things You’ll Need:

Automotive Light Bulbs ( Easy to get at the automotive supply shop,you just name the position of the light either for break and tail or reverse light. Please mention the brand of your car. Get the originals.)
Cleaning Cloths
Rags /spray for corrosive parts
Screwdriver Sets (Always spare a set of screw drivers with different tips and sizes in the booth. Cheap, quality and handy.)**

Determine how the bulb is accessed: On some models the lens (the red or white plasticpart over the light) must be unscrewed from the outside, and on others the bulb is accessible only from inside the trunk. If there are no screws on the lens, you can assume that the bulb must be replaced from inside. Usually there will be a plastic cover that must be removed in order to access the bulb. There may be tabs, screws or small knobs that hold this plastic cover in place.

(W40D spray comes handy when the screw turns corrosive. Little bit spraying on the screw and let it be for a few minutes.)

Unscrew the lens on the outside, or take off the plastic cover from inside the trunk, to reveal the

bulb.

Unscrew the bulb. You'll have to push in and turn at the same time.

(with care, cos the glass is brittle, sometimes breaks and might hurt

your fingers.Use cloth to push and turn the bulb)

Take the bulb to the auto supply to have the right duplicate.

Clean the connection with a wire brush and/

or wipe it clean with a rag if there's any corrosion.

(the easy way spraying with W40D and wipe it clean)

Again, you'll have to push in and turn simultaneously. Line up the tiny raised bumps on the base of the bulb in order to screw it in.

Test your work by stepping on the brakes and turning on the headlights while someone that can help to watch the new bulb to make sure it lights up.

BINGO!!!

Roughly saving $15 or maybe more...?

Hey, happy driving.

Tips: In the booth place
1. Set of scew drivers
2. Piece of cloth
3. A set of pliers (breaker-grozier)
