Portable Humidifier With Water Line Connection

2009-02-20T11:57:00.000-08:00

I'm fairly tired of filling up my humidifier every night and I'm still concerned about the heath issues of mold, viruses and mildew flying around our duct work. I'm looking for a humidifier which I can connect to a water line and does not need to be connected to the duct work. The idea is simple but I can't find anything quite like it. Any suggestions? If I have to, I might just have to invent it!

I've found a company called AprilAire and they seem to have some innovative humidifying technology but it doesn't seem like they have what I'm looking for.

Managing Business Taxes and Deductions

I've incorporated 3 businesses and every time I do it, I get a better feel, tax-wise, for what a business is and how it should be optimized for profitability at the end of the year and not just on paper. When running a business, it's so important to understand your taxes and maintain good accounting practices. If you're not aware of taxes or accounting you could be working your butt off and running your business into the ground and not even now it. Or you could think you have money you don't really have.

I've spent a lot of time over the past few years trying to understand my taxes and perfect my accounting practices so my knowledge base on the subject is always increasing; however, I think I've found a pretty good book and believe it should help just about everyone interested in their business taxes. The book is called "JK Lasser's Small Business Taxes 2009: Your Complete Guide to a Better Bottom Line" by Barbara Weltman. You can read through this book or use it as a reference. It will help you understand how to define most financial activities of your business and exclude others, ultimately giving you a better perspective and more control of your business.

Canon Rebel XSi / 450D

I recently got back into the photography game and tried to find a pretty good SLR camera which would allow me to capture some of the great visual experiences that life has to offer. I knew (as of Nov 2009) that for the past couple years, the Rebel XT was meeting peoples needs and it had been the top used SLR camera, and overall camera, on Flickr.com

So I did a little research and found that the XTi got an upgrade (Canon XSi) and it was gaining early popularity, getting good reviews and taking some beautiful shots. I've had the Canon XSi for about 4 months now and I'm really happy with it. At this point, the Canon 40D is the only other camera I would have liked to spend more time reviewing before getting the XSi. Once you get the camera, finding good lens is more complicated and time consuming. Happy Shooting!
