A Bouncy Castle Review - Mom's Opinion

A Bouncy Castle Review - Mom's Opinion


Finding things to keep youngsters occupied at a party or barbecue isn't always simple particularly if you have a group which vary in age.

However, I always found that a bouncy castle was the solution! The children (and adults!) would bounce and have a great time for hours no matter if they were toddlers or almost teens. It is brilliant fun and a great workout - the down side is the hassle and the expense of having to hire one for each event.

Then I realised that you could actually buy a bouncy castle, which would bring a huge amount of entertainment for the children on a more regular basis and which in the long run cost a whole lot less. So that is what I did and so did a couple of my friends. We all purchased bouncy castles, so, we have got together and written a review of each one.

Bouncy Castle Review 1:

Castle Inflatable Bounce House With Slide By Inflatable Impressions

I bought this for my two youngsters aged 3 and 6 years respectively and they think that this jumping castle is absolutely brilliant and I have to say I agree with them!

The first thing to mention about the inflatable bounce house is that it is not too big. so, if the weather is not in your favour you can fit it into in a basement or a garage. It also means you don't have to have a huge yard to use it outside either!

I discovered that three children can bounce happily without bumping into each other. My only concern is that the entrance opening is only kept together with Velcro and if a child should fall against it they may fall out and injure themselves - I fixed this by placing a blow up mattress outside!

It comes with its own "blower" and inflates rapidly, it is also very easy to dismantle again. The blower is not particularly noisy and definitely keeps good air pressure inside the jumping castle while the children play.

I was very surprised that for the price this bouncy castle is very well made and seems to be extremely robust. One purchase I have no regrets about!

Some Important Facts:

Dimensions: 12' X 9' and 7' High

Maximum Players: 3

Maximum Weight: 250lbs

Inflation Time: 2 Minutes

Comes with: UL blower motor, ground stakes and carry bag.

Bouncy Castle Review 2:

Blast Zone Magic Castle Inflatable Bouncer By Blast Zone

My friend bought this for her young son and his friends, here is what she thought about this bouncy castle.

The Blast Zone Magic Castle Inflatable bouncer is wonderful quality for a relatively low cost. The colours are vibrant - exactly as you see in the promotional photographs!

It has high, mesh outer walls which are just what is needed for safety and the platform for bouncing on is nice and flat.

It can be erected in no time at all and put away just as quickly. The blower is a little aggravating - it sounds sort of like a hair-dryer, but after a while you tend not to notice it too much.

I have allowed up to 4 toddlers playing happily in this jumping castle but for the older kids I put a limit of two at a time!

My small moan would be that on a bright summers day the youngsters have no protection from the sun - their hats come off when they bounce! A detachable sun screen would be a brilliant addition. My second complaint is the amount of power the blower uses, boy does it whiz the meter round but, such is life!

Without doubt we are all over the moon with our bouncy castle and look forward to many hours of fun for years to come.

Some Important Facts:

Dimensions: 8.5' W x 11' L x 8' H

Maximum Players: 3

Maximum Weight: 300lbs

Inflation Time: Around 2 Minutes

Comes with: UL Blower and Stakes

Bouncy Castle Review 3:

Ultimate Combo Inflatable Bounce House By Bounceland

My other friend bought this Rolls Royce of bouncy castles for her 3 youngsters it looks awesome but what did she and her children think?

WOW! That was my first reaction when I saw this jumping castle fully erected in the back yard. Then Oh My God! that slide looks high!

The fact is that this is the most appreciated few hundred bucks I have ever spent because the youngsters spend hours amusing themselves in their bouncy castle.

It erects and comes down quickly and without hassle and appears to be manufactured to a high standard using excellent quality materials. The blower I find a little noisy but I suppose is par for the course.

The actual bounce platform is quite small but there are so many other bits to this bouncy castle that the youngsters can spend hours playing and never bounce once! The additional activity areas include a ball bit, basketball hoops, the slide (which I have to say does have safety netting at the top) a tunnel as well as areas to climb.

I have had 6 small children to play in this bouncy castle without any difficulty but I would imagine that this will vary depending on the size and age of the children.

This has been a brilliant investment, the kids love it and can amuse themselves for a long time - we had our first party the other week with the "new bouncy castle" and it was very successful. Who needs to pay for entertainment when you can have an Ultimate Combo Inflatable Bounce House in the yard!

Some Important Facts:

Dimensions: L 12 ftxW 10 ft xH 8.5 ft.

Maximum Players: 4

Maximum Weight: 400lbs

Inflation Time: Less Than 1 Minute

Comes with: Strong UL Blower

Whilst we all want our youngsters to have fun and they all love their bouncy castles safety has to be a priority. Please follow all the manufactures instructions carefully and ensure that there is always adult supervision.

11 Surprising Benefits of CBD Edibles

11 Surprising Benefits of CBD Edibles


Have you tried CBD edibles?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is becoming one of the most popular supplements around.

CBD is a cannabinoid produced by the cannabis plant.

While it does not provide a psychotropic “high” like THC, there’s no doubt that CBD can have a positive effect on general health and wellbeing.

Yet, apart from puffing on a vapor pen or taking a capsule, how exactly do you consume CBD?

If you’re hoping to avoid inhaling, CBD edibles are an excellent option.

To give you the rundown on why these tasty treats are so great, here are 11 amazing benefits of CBD edibles:

1. CBD edibles provide long-lasting relief


CBD edibles have several benefits over smoking cannabis or inhaling a CBD vapor pen.

While it takes a while for CBD edibles to take effect (between 30 minutes to two hours), the result is relief that lasts longer than inhalation.

In a CBD edible, the active compound is combined with other foodstuffs.

This means that the CBD is released slowly over long periods of time as food is digested.

The result is a long-lasting CBD experience.

In fact, CBD edibles can last between two and four hours longer than inhaled CBD.

2. CBD is non-psychotropic 
CBD may be a cannabis compound, but many are surprised to find that it does not cause a psychotropic “high”.

Instead, the cannabinoid offers consumers a mellow mood uplift with a sense of positive, alerted energy.

With their long-lasting nature, CBD edibles can provide prolonged relief from mild pains and daily stresses.

These would be a great option for anyone hoping to enjoy the benefits of cannabis without an over-the-top psychoactive experience.

3. CBD edibles are easy to make


While some prefer to make their own cannabutter or infused cooking oils, CBD edibles can be surprisingly simple to make.

Different CBD extractions can be added to cooked and baked goods for an added antioxidant boost.

CBD crystals, made with purified and isolated CBD, are now available in many cannabis access points and online.

Although you should know that isolated CBD tends to be less effective compared to whole-plant cannabis.

MCT oil tinctures infused with CBD are also handy to have around.

Both of these products are easy to dose, giving you more control over the amount of CBD available per serving.

4. Less risk of lung irritation
While vapor pens are more popular than ever, the long-term implications of inhaling hot oil are still yet to be determined.

Many vapor pens also contain added thinning agents, like propylene glycol (PG) and polyethylene glycol (PEG).

Research suggests that these thinning agents may produce toxic carcinogens when heated to temperatures above 436 (224).

While it is possible to find vapor pens that do not contain these additives, CBD edibles are an excellent way to avoid inhaling potentially toxic compounds.

This saves the lungs from irritation.

5. Allows for greater plant synergy
Cannabis isn’t the only therapeutic plant out there.

Evidence suggests that compounds in the herb, like CBD, interact with other plant molecules to produce amplified effects.

Lavender, for example, contains an aroma molecule called linalool.

Linalool belongs to a class of compounds called terpenes.

Terpenes are scent molecules that give many plants their unique fragrance.

As you may have guessed, cannabis contains an abundance of terpenes.

When making CBD edibles at home, adding other beneficial herbs to your culinary creation may help modulate the effects of the cannabinoid.

Linalool, the lavender compound, is known to have calming effects.

Mixing some CBD into a lavender tea or dessert may amplify the mellow effects of each herbal remedy.

Amazing, right?



6. They’re available online
Another great benefit of CBD edibles?

They’re available online.

While the precise regulations on CBD are a little fuzzy, many providers sell CBD online and ship around the United States.

CBD is also available in a handful of European countries.

CBD edibles sold online are “hemp-derived”. Hemp and cannabis are the same plant.

However, the word cannabis is often used when discussing varieties of the plant capable of producing psychoactive THC.

Hemp is frequently grown for fiber and seed, yet the term has recently been applied to high-CBD/low-THC cannabis cultivars.

In the United States, cannabis with less than 0.3 percent THC is considered hemp.

Hemp products sold online are made from this form of cannabis.

7. CBD balances the psychoactive effects of THC



Worried about getting little too elevated for comfort?

CBD edibles may help balance out a psychotropic THC.

While edibles tend to take a while to kick in, consuming a little CBD with your THC is a great way to moderate the psychoactive experience.

Research suggests that CBD can calm the psychoactive effects of THC, toning down what could be an uncomfortable experience for some.

Those that want a slight psychoactive experience may want to mix and match pre-dosed THC and CBD edibles.

8. CBD edibles are easy to dose
When you inhale CBD via a vape pen or through smoke, it can be very difficult to determine exactly how much CBD you are getting each time.

Many purchased CBD edibles come in pre-dosed servings, enabling you to calculate how much CBD you have consumed and how much you need to consume to achieve your desired results. 

9. Edibles are discreet
Some forms of CBD can be cumbersome or impractical.

Even pocket vaporizers can get quite large and it may not always be convenient to pull out a pen vape to get your daily dose.

Those needing pain relief during a long flight or a focus boost during the workday will appreciate the ability to simply throw back a CBD gummy or two and get back to business.

No vape break required.

10. CBD is well-tolerated with minimal side effects
CBD can come with some side effects in high doses.

In fact, there is evidence that suggests that high-dose CBD may enhance the effects of pharmaceutical medications, making it necessary for consumers to lower their doses.

However, CBD is considered generally well-tolerated and even high-doses of the cannabinoid produce but minimal side effects.

A 2006 study published in the Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research concluded that CBD was safe at a wide range of doses in both healthy and epileptic study participants.

11. CBD edibles are a helpful general remedy
Researchers are investigating different ways to use CBD in medicine.

Already, CBD-based pharmaceutical drugs have been proven successful in treating some types of epilepsy in clinical trials.

Yet, you don’t need to have a serious medical condition to benefit from CBD.

CBD edibles may also be beneficial supplements to those with milder and first-aid related ailments.

Many people pop an ibuprofen or another anti-inflammatory drug after a minor injury, headache, or joint pain.

CBD, however, has been found to work in similar ways to these over-the-counter remedies without some of the harsh side effects like stomach ulcer and gastrointestinal bleeding.

Sounds like a step up, doesn’t it?

Cloud Based Solutions For Small Business - Yes, It's For You Too!

Cloud Based Solutions For Small Business - Yes, It's For You Too!



62% of small business report they are using some type of cloud application, up from 48% at the beginning of the year and 28% a year ago. Let's think about that. 15% to 20% adoption rates each year. Why? Because small businesses are starting to find out that cloud based solutions aren't big and scary, nor are they cost prohibitive. Most of this growth is coming in lare scale adoptions like Microsoft 365, or online file-sharing services such as Dropbox, but most haven't moved into online productivity offerings in a big way just yet... but they will.

If you are considering moving productivity suites to the cloud, which include word processing, spreadsheet, call center and calendar applications, adoption is incredibly slow among small business owners. Cloud-based productivity suites, like telecom solutions including IVR set-up or outbound power dialers, have the lowest adoption rates of all. Nearly two out of three businesses have no plans to use cloud-based productivity suites. Only 14% of those surveyed are currently using cloud-based productivity suites, and just 22% are thinking about adopting these services in 2013.

Cloud based solutions remove costly overhead. They do this through accessibility, collaboration and convenience. However, businesses often feel insecure about the data that's being passed through these services. This is why the lack of control over data security (cited by 73%); legal liabilities and compliance issues (49%), and reliability (48%) are the three top concerns for small business owners that are considering "the cloud". Most of these concerns are mitigated when you look at cloud solutions for phone solutions such as inbound and outbound IVR, or automated call distribution, or even power/predictive dialing features.

Another recent Deloitte survey also noted that mid-size businesses described as those with annual revenues between $50 million and $100 million are catching the fever of cloud religion. This expansive survey of 500+ executives found that more than 40% (up from 30% last year) recognize cloud computing or Software as a Service (Saas) as one of the most important technology investments for 2013. The amount of businesses that are turning to cloud based solutions to empower their call center agents will likely catch up to that in short order, as education around the value and lack of restraints improve. It's important to note that there are no compliance issues when changing to cloud based solutions. In fact, access to records is normally faster and more reliable than dealing with clunky on-premise records that may be hard copy based and easily destroyed, lost or misplaced.

In closing, there's a "quick list" of good reasons to adopt the cloud. These include:

* Accessible anytime from anywhere.

* Safe & secure data storage.

* Affordability by avoiding on-premise hardware.

* Scalability to grow as your business does.

* Compliance and ease of retrieval for key data.

Top Ten Betting Mistakes

Top Ten Betting Mistakes

The first step to formulating a solution, is to define the problem.

The following points are areas of betting where many punters often get it wrong. My views arise from long personal experience and years of communication with successful and unsuccessful punters alike.

My aim here is to highlight these common areas of failure in the hope that I can speed up your learning curve towards successful betting.

Read the following thoughts and you may be able to side step many of the pot holes others have fallen into in the past.

1) Failure to Use Betting Banks

Most gamblers fail to understand that the best method of achieving a healthy and sustained long term profit from racing is to set aside a sum of money away from your main finances, solely for the betting of horses. Whatever method or system you are using, whoever you are following or subscribing to or however your own bets are calculated, you are better off with a "Betting Bank" that has built -in advantages that can help you. It needs to be independent from your own personal finances and needs to be protected from factors that can threaten it. This can take a lot of emotion out of the decision making process. Emotion is a factor that threatens all punters. The size of your betting bank will of course be dependent upon your own individual circumstances and free capital available.

An analogy to the world of shares perhaps may be that no financial advisor worth his salt would advise you throw all your capital into the stock market alone. The vast majority of punters fail to use any form of set aside bank. They bet randomly with what ever money they have in their pocket at the end of the week or go in too deep with stakes far in excess of their personal safety levels. A punter with a professional attitude will set aside what he can comfortably afford to invest and then determine the best use he can make of that fixed sum of capital. With a fixed sum of capital available you now move on to the next reason for failure.

2) Failure to Stake Correctly

It is vital that you consider your betting bank as capped in amount. You do not have an endless pool of resources to dip into. Betting by its nature carries inherent risks. These risks include periods of low strike rates and long losing runs. Your betting bank and staking should be adapted for the method you use. You must in advance, prepare yourself for the possibility of a worse than average sequence of losers through adoption of a sufficient number of units in your betting bank. Correct methodical staking in addition to the mathematical advantage, can also help overcome the risk of emotional reaction to a sequence of unusually positive or negative results. Take the Pricewise column in the racing post as an example.

Long term if you could get on at the advised prices, it would have returned a decent profit overall. During this time however followers would have to have endured runs of up to 40 losers in a row! Despite the overall long term profit I suspect the vast majority of Pricewise followers would have been terminated either by a failure to set aside a sufficient amount of points or through failure to cope with the emotion of the losing run. We have long since established here a strike rate of about 35% on our Best Bet selections and at an average S.P. of over 5/2 for each winning bet.

We feel able to protect clients banks as long losing runs haven't happened and the strike rate and odds have been more than enough to ensure long steady and safe growth for your betting profits. That is in essence the key to winning money. Manage your accounts in a way that protects them as far as possible from the element of risk that the game presents you.

3) Chasing Losses

Chasing losses at first sight may appear to be an easy way to guarantee an eventual profit but the true story is it is a game for fools and statistically will not work unless you generate an overall level stakes profit. Chasing losses is a game for the ill informed who do not want to make the effort to seek value in their bets. Bookmakers have to price
up every race. Punters don't have to play in every race, they can pick the races they want to bet in,and that is the main edge that people fail to understand.

If you have had a losing day, by attempting to chasing your losses you give up that advantage and bet in the races that you should not be betting in. You are therefore betting the way bookmakers want you to and not in the way to win. Many punters will alter their stakes in the last race either to
"chase" losses or "play up" winnings. Its no coincidence that the
bookmakers have ensured that the last race on each day is often a handicap or one of the hardest races that day. There will be more racing the next day and the day after that.

The secret is waiting for opportunities and only betting when you know you have circumstances which favour you and not the bookmakers. You must never change your approach, or deviate from sensible staking as there is no such things as "The Last Race".

4) Lack of Value Appreciation

Appreciation of "value" in a bet is core to long term success.
To profit over a long series of bets you must be betting at odds greater than the true chance of winning your selection have. To do this however over the long term, you need to concentrate on each race individually and seek the value bet in that race. There is value to be had in every race. The key to it is understanding
where that value is. Many times a punter will screw up a losing betting slip and say "At least I had some value".

There is absolutely NO relationship between value and prices. A 33/1 chance may be diabolical value yet a very short priced favorite may be supreme value. It does not follow that the bigger the price you take the better "value" you have. The value is sometimes clear but more often well hidden and it takes a trained eye to see that. Everyone has this "Foresight" on occasions, it is a game about opinions after all and nobody is always right or wrong. Value can be the most expensive word in racing if you can't bet winner. The old cliche is that value is about betting a horse whose true chance is better than its price reflects.

That's only a small part of it. You also have to make sure that you bet in the right way and in the right races as that is the only way you can keep strike rates high and protect a betting bank. You should continually strive to increase value in your bets. Once you have a selection you feel is value do not just take the first acceptable price that comes along. Seek to improve it by shopping around the various bookmakers or try and top the best bookmakers price by looking to the betting exchanges. Marginal improvements on odds on each bet you make can have a dramatic effect on long term profits.

5) Greed For Instant Wealth

Many punters seek the thrill of a life changing bet that will produce huge gains of instant wealth for a small outlay. Bookmakers play on your natural desire and go out of their way to encourage you to bet exotic multiple selection bets that can in one hit, turn a small stake into a large sum. Professionals however rarely bet in multiples. Most professionals bet singles and steer away from the multiple bets. Bookmakers relentlessly promote a host of multiple bets with exotic names such as Yankee, Lucky 15, and Goliath.

The reason they are heavily touted is the profit margin in the bookmaker's favour increases the more selections you add to your multiple bet. Say you select any random 5/1 selection. If you bet this as a single the bookmaker may have a theoretical edge in his favor of 15%. Taking two such selections however and betting them in a win double, the bookmakers profit margin rises to about 30% ! Yes your win double can produce a much bigger win from the same stake however over the long term the bookmaker is eating away at your capital at a much faster rate.

It is a waste of time debating which type of multiple bet is 'best'. Unless your prediction skills are supernatural or you are incredibly lucky, then betting in singles is more often the best option. You may say that many "Pros," do bet in multiples in bets like The Scoop 6 or the Jackpot, but that's only because they know there is plenty of "Dead" money in any given Pool and they are betting against people who don't understand the dynamics of those types of bet. There are times you should bet in multiples but in truth they are few and far between.

You can't approach this as a "Get Rich Quick " scheme. It is a long slow process of serious and sustained profit and not a game for Get Rich Quick schemers. If you go Into any Betting shop, have a look at all the posters on the wall offering "special offers", "enhanced terms " and "bonus offers". You will see they are all multiple bets. Bookmakers want you betting in multiples and it is easy to see why. They carve most profit from them. You never see a Bookmakers promotion offering extra's on a win or each way single. Ask
yourself why.

6) Lack of Discipline

Lack of Discipline is the big hurdle for punters trying to turn a losing
hobby into a winning one. Bookmakers know that. That's why in every
betting office you can bet on numbers, lotteries, ball games, racing from all over the globe with horses nobody has heard of before and even now computer animated, or as they call it, virtual racing. Bookmakers just believe that its a case of punters sitting all day betting on what ever is put in front of them and sadly they are right in many cases. They are simply thrill seeking and don't care what they bet on, as long as they can bet.

There is no methodology at all and many betting office regulars are simply a bunch of headless chickens prepared to pay long term for the warming buzz of the occasional win. Even more experienced regular gamblers who are savvy enough to turn down bets that they know are stupid always let themselves down by continually bleeding their profits with a fun tenner here and a fun tenner there. It takes great discipline to NOT bet at times. It takes discipline to walk away from a horse when the price isn't right. It takes discipline to say no to that small fun bet.

It takes discipline to keep your money in your pocket and deny yourself the emotional buzz of watching your runner. Punters come in all shapes and sizes. Even the shrewder punters who could win at the game, fall into the trap of lack of discipline of study. After a winning period they forget that what made them winners in the first place, was the effort they put in. They fall victim to
over confidence, laziness and indiscipline. Being a long term successful punter is like swimming against the tide. It takes an effort to stay still, even greater effort to move ahead and as soon as you relax or slack off you start to go backwards.

7) Emotion

Betting is a lonely game. Its also a highly skilled game. Emotion
undermines success in many ways. There is comfort in knowing that as a sheep when you are wrong it is not your fault as you were simply doing what everyone else was doing. With betting, the laws of market supply and demand, dictate that long term, the sheep will get fleeced. Emotion neutralises discipline and long proven successful practices. The result of any isolated race has little or no relation to races just before that or just after that. Races should be viewed in isolation from each other. We are all emotional in betting but the players at the top of the tree have this down to a fine art and can control those emotions.

Other punters have long since been conditioned by bookmakers to EXPECT to lose rather than win. They have an in built psychological factor that makes them feel like
losers and they have been conditioned to losing by years of doing so. Over 95% of punters are flawed emotionally. Examples of emotive gambling include punters following a horse,trainer or a jockey blind. The "Hype" horses are cannon fodder for emotional punters. They may also follow tipsters blind as they "hate" the thought of missing out on a winner. They pay no attention to the changing conditions of a race that may follow non runners or the ground changing. They misunderstand confidence and can't cope with a lack of confidence.

Emotion also prevents people from advanced betting subjects such laying, hedging and arbitrages. Emotion forces some punters to bet horses with certain names that remind them of loved ones. Names such as "Long Tall Sally " and "Susan's Pride " attract many to them just for a name that's relevant to them. Most punters have a grudge against their own money and winning and being successful is alien to them. Emotional punters lose their heads in barren times and fail to capitalise on winning runs. They mess about with systems and staking plans that make no sense.

The more emotion you can rule out of your betting, the more successful you will become. You have to view everyone in the game as your enemy and as people trying to take your hard earned money away from you in the same way as you would a pickpocket. Once you can master your emotions you have made the first big step to betting profitably.

8) The Grass is Greener

The grass is rarely Greener on the Other Side. The truth is that the grass that isn't working for you has not been grown, cultivated or looked after properly. Many punters change approaches and methods so quickly that they don't give any method a true test. If they find a system that works they don't continue after a few bad results. It is the same as gamblers who write down every bet they have. Once they have a few losers they often lose the heart to do this and stop doing so and move on to another area. They are like children with new toys at Christmas. They never stay with any method long enough to prosper.

They always feel the" Grass is Greener", when in truth the "Grass" they are using has been abused and left to deteriorate. They want the next Big "new idea " or "method " and that doesn't work either as the fault lies not in the Grass, but the Gardener.

They have no long term consistency in their betting and are constantly tinkering with what wasn't broke or moving on in search of the holy grail before a full evaluation of what they are currently examining has been completed.

A competition to win best garden will be won by the person who can spend most time in the garden and master its challenges, the gardener who is prepared to care about his garden and invest in the tools that will help his garden grow and keep the weeds at bay. It's the same with betting. You will do far better long term if you can make a concentrated effort of learning and research in one key area rather than flitting from this to that.

9) Laziness

Most punters are LAZY! They have religiously followed a doctrine of poor planning and lack of research. They refuse to study and spend hours looking at how they can win at betting. They refuse to invest in the game and invest in their own learning. You cant refuse to spend money, just look at the racing for 30 minutes and expect to win long term. You simply can't get away with that in the hardest trade of all, Winning Money at Betting. If it was that easy, then millions would do it.You must either invest in your betting, or pay someone to do just that. Natural human tendency is to try and get away with the least amount of effort. Lazy punters are cannon fodder for the bookmakers.

They make little or no effort in their selection process nor make an effort to extract maximum returns from their bets. Those who put the most work in are the more likely to succeed. My philosophy is simple. I believe that if a bookmaker, journalist or odds compiler spends 3 hours on a race then I'll spend 6 hours on that race to gain the edge. The famous golfer Gary Player once said "The Harder I Work the Luckier I Get". That is true about both golf and betting.Most people can't spend 12 hours a day studying betting as they have families, jobs, commitments and lead their own lives. That is what you pay us for. We do that study for you and re-invest money in our betting so that we can find every edge possible to Help You Win.

10) Stupidity!

Amazingly most punters fail to learn from their mistakes. They continue for years making the same basic errors time and time again. Pure stupidity. Strive to improve your betting performance by continually learning from the mistakes and weakness is your game. Your bookmaker may have been laughing at you for years. You have it in your power however to improve your betting and hopefully wipe that smile from his face for good.

Understanding Leather Products

Understanding Leather Products



Be aware that some leather products that have been around for a long time have new formulations. Therefore, chemically you are really looking at an entirely new leather product so while you think you may be achieving certain results from using the product last year; this year with the new formulations, the results achieved could be very different. Additionally, some leather products that have been in use for a long time were used for a different purpose than used today.

Acrylic Copolymers

Technology continues to offer new leather products such as acrylic copolymers that form a barrier 'net' too fine for water molecules to pass through, but still porous enough to let water vapor in so the leather can still breath. These products do not have the slippery consistency of silicone sprays and do not have a negative effect on dyes.

Most reputable leather merchants will also give you guidelines about how to care for your leather. Some even provide information about how to tell good leather from bad.

Beeswax

This natural leather product has been in use for a long time. Today, it is combined with ingredients that are more modern, which allows for better leather products to be made. One of the primary things that beeswax does is provides waterproofing although it also replaces natural oils.

Blackball

Blackball is a combination of beef tallow, beeswax, and soot that was used in the 18th century as a multi-purpose leather treatment, waterproofing, conditioning, and blackening in one fell swoop.

Cleaning

A simple wipe down or brushing with each use is a good idea for your leather items to help knock dirt off the surface and keep dust from working its way into the pores. For heavier soiled leather or for stains, cleaning should be done to keep the dirt and other debris from working its way into the leather and becoming a permanent, more than likely unattractive part of your item.

The concept here is not washing per se. You are applying a detergent of sorts to the surface to emulsify and lift off soils and stains. Follow directions and determine first if the type of soil you are dealing with can be removed with spot cleaning. If needed, you can clean the entire area of the leather.

Cleaning is always followed by conditioning. Just be sure to let the item dry thoroughly and naturally, and avoid using hair dryers unless specified to be okay by the manufacturer. In some cases, using a hair dryer on low heat is permissible but of course, you want to do this with extreme care.

Conditioning

You can follow the manufacturer's recommendations, or just use common sense here. It is not difficult to tell if your leather is a bit tired. Regular conditioning will prevent deterioration such as cracking, which is important since once leather is cracked there is no going back.

Cracked leather can only be fully repaired by replacing it. Although it can also be dyed so the leather appears uniform, the crack will remain. Conditioners run the gamut from oil to wax and both function as conditioners. Wax tends to make leather harder, which works for some items such as a bicycle seat while oil tends to make leather softer as what you would find with a leather sofa.

Lanolin is another conditioner that is used. Obenaufs has leather products that are worth considering, especially if you are working with a specialized garment such as motorcycle and firefighter's gear. Obenauf's also makes boot care kits that people rave about.

Conditioners also function as basic waterproofing agents or sealants. This makes perfect sense since it is the same principal at work as in nature when the hide was still on the animal. If you are working on a leather item that is not going to be in direct contact with your skin, oil is great. Boots and the outside of a jacket are good candidates.

It is always a good idea to give oil a day to soak in, regardless. If you are working with an item that does touch your skin, or fabric, for example a seat of some sort, give the product time to soak in and maybe a gentle cleaning before you sit on it or wear it.

Mink Oil

Mink has a fatty layer under their skin and have great pelts, as you know. This fatty layer is rendered and turned into Mink Oil, which is used to treat leather. Mink oil will leave furniture feeling greasy. It's primary purpose is as a water proofing agent for hiking boots. It is not recommended as a protective coating for upholstery leather. Some Mink leather products have filler ingredients so read the label if you prefer good quality.

Neatsfoot Oil

A "neat" is a beef animal, and this oil used to be made out of cow hooves, hence the name. It is heavy oil and is known to rot cotton stitching on leather items that have been sewn. Of all the raw oils, Neatsfoot oil seems to have the most colorful history. Neatsfoot oil was combined with all sorts of things to keep leather (especially footwear) serviceable.

Saddle Soap

Saddle soap is a great solution for saddles but can actually harm upholstery leather. Saddles are made from tough, vegetable tanned leather that can take the alkalinity of saddle soap. It's intended to remove manure and related heavy soil from saddles.

Upholstery grade leather has been processed differently, usually processed with chromium tanning which imparts supple characteristics. Saddle soap speeds up the demise of upholstery leather by breaking down the fibrous structure through chemical reaction.

In the days when most leather items were the natural color of the hide, this was not an issue. In fact, the age finish that saddles take on was desirable. As dying and bleaching leather has become more popular, people are more concerned about the leather staying the original color purchased.

Silicone

Most guidelines for leather care also recommend staying away from anything that has silicone in it. Silicone leather products produce nice finishes. However, there is not anything in them to condition the leather.

A newsletter for Jaguar enthusiasts warned that use of silicone on leather seats could make future repairs, especially re-coloring very difficult. If this is not an issue, silicone polymers sprays are non-greasy leather products that can be used on all leather, including suede to produce this type of finish.

Some guidelines put petroleum products in the same category as silicone. For leather conservation as in a museum or collectible, petroleum components are used in leather products where animal-based products might not be as suitable because they could be a medium for bacteria or mold contamination.

Stripping

Another process to mention is stripping. Stripping takes all of the oil out of the leather, leaving you with the raw material. If you were going to dye leather, stripping would be necessary.

Sometimes new leather has a finish layer that prevents absorption of a conditioner or sealant so you may want to strip this off before conditioning. Usually, as you use the item, this factory applied conditioning will wear off. Keep in mind that there are commercial leather strippers on the market that are petroleum-based solvents - Naphthalene is a perfect example. The downfall is that commercial strippers can be pricey.

Interestingly, Zippo lighter fluid is made of the same chemical and is much less expensive, but a word of caution, before you go dousing your new leather with lighter fluid, ask the manufacturer about any sealant that might have been used. Some of these wear off naturally so by the time you are ready to condition, you will not need to strip the leather first.

Leather products can now be found in most stores. In fact, even your grocery store is likely to carry them. Lexol and Leatherique have been around for a while and have great reputations. The makers of these leather products say that they have kept the good effects of "raw" products traditionally used on leather and used modern chemistry to modify them, as a way of reducing or eliminating some of the not so desirable effects.

Magnesium (School Chalk)

This substance can be used to clean buckskin. Simply use a soft brush on the rough side and chamois cloth on the soft side. School chalk or corn meal will also absorb grease. If you are working with white buckskin, using magnesium on the stain after brushing lightly is a popular home remedy.

The Joy of Cooking Food Recipes

The Joy of Cooking Food Recipes



Food recipes have long sense evolved from the grandma's cookbooks, or the rolodex of favorite recipes. We now live in the information world where you can download the latest copy of a recipe for that favorite restaurant of yours. The joy of cooking is to create delicious food. Remember that picture of you cooking with your grandma or mom in the kitchen with the old rolodex. Well, that is the real joy of cooking. The joy of cooking can be for family involvement, nutrition, creativity, making memories, or just saving some extra money.

The joy of cooking should involve the family, to make memories at home. Whether you're cooking for the holiday or just cooking weekly dinner, food often times creates memorable times you will never forget. Involving the whole family to create something delicious can be fun for everyone. Food recipes involving the messier ingredients typically find themselves to be more fun to cook and create. They also give you the opportunity to be creative and put love or personality into it. Decorating your food can be a real treat by adding personal flair to your project.

By cooking your own meal, you can often cut out unhealthier ingredients used at large restaurants. The goal at large restaurants is to mass produce while still enhancing flavor. This is typically done through the use of added salt, or butter for flavor. Sodium content at a restaurant is three to four times higher than if you made the exact same recipe yourself. Also, you won't be using preservatives or fillers in your recipe. Look to add wholesome ingredients and not buying cheap cut down ingredients such as butter. Butter can be one of those ingredients made cheaper through a hydrogenated oil and salt added process.

Cooking your own food recipes is also cheaper. By buying your own ingredients you cut out the cost for the cooks to cook you the recipes, and the tip you have to leave your waiter/waitress. This can be very cost effective if you're a preparing a large meal for your family. The average cost of dining out with a family of four can fair 40% higher at restaurant, than if you were to prepare the food at home. If you opt to create food recipes using on sale items at the nearest grocery store, this can cut your food bill down further. Knowing you saved yourself some hard earned cash can add to the joy of cooking.

How To Improve English Speaking - Find a Teacher or a Class

How To Improve English Speaking - Find a Teacher or a Class


Hello, guys, how do you do?:)

A new topic on How To Improve English Speaking today - is it necessary to join an English class or you can learn English by yourself?

You might be interested in the issue or not care at all, but you should still read just in case.

MY TAKE ON THE SUBJECT.

Let me tell you my story - yes, I have been learning English since 4th grade and back then I went to extra courses in a pretty reputable English school in Moscow. I didn't want to study - it was my parents' decision. But the courses were forced on me, and I studied.

Result- For all the years following I was a top student in English classes in school and university. The teachers basically were catalysts for my improvement - they were there to correct me and they were there to guide me while I was in my initial stage of growth. As with any other skill - get the foundation right and go into the right direction.

But the question remains: Could I have learnt all this alone? The answer is always the same - yes, but there are so many tools nowadays you can use to leverage your learning speed.

Look at business owners. They don't do everything themselves - that would be humanly impossible. They have others working for them. That way you save your time.

HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OUT OF YOUR LESSONS

The universe rewards the proactive people who are willing to learn. Yes I was more successful than my peers in English, but it took me several years and I improved very slowly at first. At the age of 16 I still couldn't communicate fluently with Natives (I WAS a top student in school still, but my progress was slow)

So let me tell you my second experience - This time I was preparing for GRE and TOEFL exams.

I attended the classes and this time I committed to learning. It was no longer a 4th grader going with the flow, hoping chips will fall where they may. I told myself that no matter what I will get my scores from 1100 to 1450. And there were others - people who didn't want to learn. They were casual about it and had no idea what were they doing there. As a consequence there were two major differences between us:

1 - I committed myself to classes.

I did homework. They didn't.Doing homework is something you must do. It is one thing to have teacher explain something exciting during classes and another thing to revise it at home. It is a common experience for students to forget everything they were taught recently at classes. Repetition is the mother of skill.

2 - I was proactive during classes. I asked questions.

This is the second point. No one will understand if you have a problem or not unless you speak up and participate. If you don't ask now - the question will remain unanswered. So it is logical, that you should be proactive. Not for teacher to praise you - but for yourself, because ultimately this action directly helps YOU.
