How to Choose a Bean Bag Chair

Bean Bag Chairs are a great way to dress up any room. They are great in a child’s room as the perfect support for the video player or as a nest for the reader in your family. Bean Bag Chairs work great as extra seating in your family room, they can be easily stored in a closet and pulled out when the kids have friends over or when you host a party. Sitting in a bean bag chair is a cozy nest for your guests and is much better than sitting in a hard chair.

Bean Bag Chairs come in such a wide range of fabrics these days that they do not have to be hidden away; they can be a part of your décor. With the high quality fabric and the unique designs available choosing a Bean Bag Chair that suits your room is as simple following a few simple steps.

1. Fabric

With the wide variety of bean bags available on the market, there is a wide variety of fabrics available. Vinyl is very common in bean bag chairs, although some people feel that vinyl is too sticky and not as comfortable as cloth bean bag chairs. Vinyl is easy to wipe up and keep clean which is a definite advantage. When selecting vinyl ensure the fabric uses lead-free vinyl inks. Other bean bags come in leather, fun fur, microfibre, denim and cotton. If possible when choosing a fabric, look for a bean bag chair that has a liner so that the cover can be removed and washed periodically.

Regardless of the fabric you prefer, look for a high quality fabric. The fabric should use lead-free vinyl inks and stand up to wear and tear as they are pushed and pulled in all directions. Since they sit on the floor the fabric must be durable to ensure the bean bag lasts for many years. The seams should be double stitched with clear nylon for added strength as you do not want the bean bag chair to spring a leak. The zippers should be locking to ensure the safety of children. The zippers must be locked to keep children from being able to open the bag and ingest the fill. As well the bean bag should be double zippered to ensure the safety of the bag and to keep the fill inside the bag.

2. Size

When looking for a bean bag chair, look at the shape that best suits your needs. Bean bag chairs with a pear shaped design offer better back support because they are taller and cover more of your body. The flatter pancake shaped bean bag chair works great for two people or as a coffee table substitute. The pancake works better as a lounger than as a chair. Some bean bag chairs are designed specifically for children; they are smaller and adjust better to small bodies. Look at shape and dimensions of the chair when making your choice to ensure they meet your needs.

3. Fill

When choosing the fill for your bean bag chair look for high quality recycled polystyrene fill. You want a bean bag chair that has enough fill to offer support but enough give to be comfortable. Polystyrene fill is the best as it is soft enough to provide great comfort but is also strong enough to withstand lots of compression without losing its sponginess. For the benefit of the environment, choose 100% recycled polystyrene. When choosing fill be sure to look for polystyrene that is fire retardant or complies with flammability standards.

4. Design

The greatest thing about Bean Bag Chairs is the range of designs available for an affordable price. You can select just about any design and fabric you want and some of companies will even do custom designs for you. When designing a room in your home you can use the bean bag pattern as a guide to build the rest of the room or use the bean bag chair as a highlight. If you need to raise money for a project, have a bean bag chair customized to advertise your favorite sports team or cause. The greatest thing about customization is the sky is the limit with what you can do with a bean bag chair and the design.

Police Force – STABBED In The Back

 free  Comments Off on Police Force – STABBED In The Back
Apr 152023
 

Police force – Have you ever heard that saying -Take the law into your own hands – well how very true are those words that are spoken especially if you are looking to nail a criminal.

Here in the UK, and what with today’s society as it is, we are advised not to approach the intruder in the home or argue with a mugger if accosted – well this all makes sense – but what does not make sense is, if we do not do the job ourselves then who will. If we had more law enforcement (police force) on the streets then crime prevention may uphold. We need more Bobbies on the beat to ensure our safety on the streets that we fear to tread.

However in saying that – give our police force their due – they have been running an awareness campaign on offensive weapons. 0ver the last couple of months an amnesty was issued for people to surrender in their knives, and the outcome of this campaign as the police force stated – was a proven a success. What a whole load of codswollop, try telling that to the poor unfortunate victim who lies bleeding in a pool of blood after being stabbed in the back for reasons that remain a mystery – slain by those who refused to give up their killing device.

What is it coming to when our police force have to rely upon asking for guns and knives. In contrast weapons as such should be taken from the hands of all perpetrators who maim and kill. What is the point of a police force we ask ourselves while we total up the number of bodies that lie on a cold mortuary slab?

It is because of our government – that our police force hands are tied. Certain restrictions and limitations have been imposed due to government spending (money) therefore less street patrols. Without more policing on the street then there is no safe guarantee that you may reach pension age.

Talking of money – if law and order was upheld by our police force then what would be the point of daily newspapers, for example no snippet or bulletins on abduction, a paedophile ring being busted or the reading of a rape or murder. All these penny pulling stories would be near to non existent headlines – should the police take charge of their position (Crime Prevention)

Our government needs to address this matter on a more serious note. Why are our police force fully kitted out with crime prevention objects and safety clothing like a bullet proof vest, gun, and knock out sprays, only to find themselves sitting behind a desk answering 999 calls of which they fail to attend on time because of the mounting paperwork.

The next headline you read in your daily newspaper will read, as long as those desks act as a barrier preventing the policeman from doing his job – then the criminal on the street will always roam free.

How To Make Sure Your Website Is Up & Running With Little Or No Work

 free  Comments Off on How To Make Sure Your Website Is Up & Running With Little Or No Work
Apr 142023
 

Once you’ve gone through the process of building your website, finding a reliable host and getting it all up and running, you will likely want to be sure it’s up and running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.


But you probably don’t want to spend time every day checking the site to make sure it is working the way it should. After all, you have other more important work to do, right?


Unfortunately, there are a lot of things that you have no control over that can affect your website. You can run into hardware and software failures on your server, which could make your site sluggish or even unavailable.


The solution to making sure your website is up and running without spending a whole bunch of time checking it is to use a website monitoring service. These services will check your site regularly and automatically notify you if the site is down or running slower than it should.


Prices for monitoring services range anywhere from $5 to $60 per month. There are even some services that are free but the paid options offer more features and you can usually check multiple sites with the same service.


Monitoring is not continuous – they generally check your site anywhere from every 3 minutes to every hour. In most cases, the more you pay for the service the more often your site will be checked.


These monitoring services send a request to your website and then check the response time. The requests that are sent are the same requests the average browser makes when someone accesses your site, so the response time tells the monitoring service how good the site is responding to the average visitor.


Most monitoring services have servers in various places around the world so they can gauge how well your website responds to requests from different areas.


If the response code and response time are good, nothing will happen. The monitoring service simply moves on and waits until the next scheduled check. If the response is bad – too long or an error code of some sort – the monitoring service will wait for a few seconds and then check again, using a server from another location.


Depending on the service, there may be 3 or 4 of these checks done before you are alerted. If the service finds a problem, it will alert you in one (or more) of a number of ways.


They can send alerts via email (to one or more addresses) or to your cell phone or pager. You can then contact your hosting company to find out what is wrong and to get the problem fixed.


Some monitoring services can also check other parts of your website such as FTP and email.


Over a longer term, monitoring services can give you a log of the performance of your website. They can tell you things such as how often the site is unavailable every day, week or month. You can use this third-party information to demand better service from your host (or as a basis for deciding to change hosts).

Home Based Business – Offline Marketing Strategies

 free  Comments Off on Home Based Business – Offline Marketing Strategies
Apr 132023
 

The Internet has become the largest medium of communication; and has presented a lot of business opportunities. Online home based business owners tend to limit themselves to online marketing methods. Nevertheless, there is a huge potential to promote your home based business through some cost effective offline marketing strategies. So what are the most effective offline marketing strategies for your home based business?

1. Word of mouth in your circle of influence
Word of mouth is one of the best free advertising channels. We all have people we interact with on a daily basis, and these are potential customers. Make a list of all the people you know or interact with and how can you best tell them about your internet business. Be passionate about your internet business and always be prepared to tell someone about it when an opportunity to do so presents itself!

2. Mail-out newsletters and flyers
Mail-out newsletter or flyers can be effective if you target it to a specific ‘group’. You could create one to distribute to local day care centers just as an example – and in your newsletter or flyer, highlight the benefits of an online business to the targeted group, for example earning money at home for stay at home moms or dads. Posting your home based business URL on bulletin boards can also be effective.

3. Use and give away free branded ‘stuff’
You can promote your business by having your URL on all your stationery, all written communication and other items you can give away for free. If you want to get a lot of people to know about your home based business, you will need to come up with some creative ways of promoting your URL. You can be limited only by your imagination. Have your business cards with your home based business URL. Give them out to people you meet, leave them about where you can, such as in your local coffee shop.

4. Newspapers and magazines
Local newspapers are good for advertising your online business. Most local papers have ‘home business opportunities’ section, so you run a regular classified advert. In addition, contact your local newspaper or business-oriented magazine and let the business editor know you have a new business and web site and what you offer. Local newspapers are frequently interested in featuring local business people and their accomplishments. This is free advertising and should always be used. You can also contact your local magazine and offer to write a monthly or weekly guest column for them, and include your ‘author bio’ and home based business URL.

5. Joint ventures with offline business
You can get into a joint venture partnership with an offline business which sells a complementary product or service to your home based business. If you can identify a partner that best fit your business, this is an important offline marketing strategy that can help you succeed in your home based business by enabling you to reach potential customers that you could not reach before. As an example, if you have a website selling fitness/health products or tips, you could prepare a leaflet and make a deal with an offline local fitness/health shop where they giveaway your leaflet to their shoppers with each purchase.

The offline marketing strategies outlined above can help you grow your home based business. I have used these strategies alot and they work well. So what are you waiting for? Get out there and promote your business offline!!

Want A FREE Report That Teaches You How To Write Powerful Articles?

Apr 122023
 

This may come as a surprise… That all these PLR articles
you can get from these member sites will do you no good at
all. Why you may ask? It is because imagine there might be
100,200 or more members in the site and their all using that
article you’ve chosen.

That means that same article will be all over the net on
different sites. Google knows this and actually penalizes
you for having what they call ‘Duplicate Content’.


As you no doubt already know, writing articles is probably
the most effective way to promote your web site. It’s a very
simple principle – publishers want a vast quantity of good
quality content that they do not have to pay for; you
provide that content, with the proviso that at the bottom of
your article, they include your resource box with a link to
your web site.

It’s a win-win situation. With your article published on
heaps of web sites, and in several ezines, it’s enough to
set your traffic counter spinning.

But if you use these re-used articles from these membership
sites, you are going to get penalized.

Hence, you won’t get indexed at all by the major search
engines, you might even end up in Google’s sandbox.

Here’s what you can do about it…

You can hire a ghost writer from Elance or Scriptlance or
one of those outsourcing companies.

That is if you have a lot of cash, you can spend a lot
of $$$ doing this.

There’s no doubt you’ll get some good info, but you have to
check which writer you’re going to use.

Not all writers will or can write how you want your articles
done.


No matter why you’re writing an article, it’s your
responsibility to make it be interesting – otherwise no one
will read it. (Except you.)

By writing your own article, it will be unique and be
accepted a lot better on the search engines.

You might think that you couldn’t write an article if you
tried. Don’t kid yourself, I wrote this one your reading
now.

All I did was study some good programs and e-books on how to
write them.

And took it from there, it’s really good fun too, with some
of this training material, you’ll learn where to find
material about your subject, and use it as an idea for your
own article.

You must never copy the other article, but you can get some
good idea’s from subjects on the net.

Just look up your subject on Google and get some good idea’s
and put them into your article.

You will not believe how easy YOU can come up with a 400-500
word article.

I’ve done about 5 now and can submit them to all the article
sites, which love new content.

You’ll have more chance of getting picked up by other
marketers if your article is unique.

People, web masters, search engines, article sites all love
fresh new content.

It is a well-known fact that ‘Content-Is-King’, it is a big
rage at the moment, or actually for quite a long time for
the smart marketers.

If you’re not using fresh, new, unique content on your site
then you’re way behind the eight ball and you’ll be wasting
your time.

There’s an easy way out of this, learn to write your own
articles.

And now you can a FREE report that shows you exactly how to
do it.

————————————————————

You now should have a good understanding and realize the
importance of fresh unique content. Now you can learn how to
write your own.

Now what are you going to do with this information, are you
going to take action and get those unique articles out there
with your URL in them and get loads of other sites promoting
you?

Or are you going to put this away and hope some magical
Genie will appear and get you listed on the search engines
with no effort at all?

Don’t kid yourself, you need to put in some work to get the
results you want with article submission and uniqueness.

How could everything change so dramatically?

 free  Comments Off on How could everything change so dramatically?

I came across this quote today and wanted to share it with you. You may find that it relates to your marriage.

“The difficultly with marriage is that we fall in love with a personality, but we must live with a character.”
– Peter Devries

We can only appreciate the profundity of this statement if we understand what is meant by CHARACTER.

“Personality” is easy to understand. Your “personality” is how people experience you. It’s your public persona.

But what is “character?” And why is “character” so crucial in your marriage?

Character is who you are when no one is watching.

Let me say that again so you can read it slowly and really digest it this time.

Character is who you are when no one is watching.

You see, when you and your spouse met, you met each other’s PERSONALITIES. You showed your spouse and you were shown by your spouse your public personas. I’m not saying you tricked each other. It’s just your personality…how you display yourself to others.

But marriage lasts too long in too close quarters for anyone to sustain a public persona. Personalities eventually give way to an INNER SELF that gets revealed for the first time. And there you each stand, naked as if no one is watching. But someone is watching. And that’s when you meet for the first time…again!

You and your spouse don’t meet the person who charmed each other’s friends, bought gifts for each other’s parents, and always smiled from ear to ear. No, this time it’s a meeting of your CHARACTERS.

In many cases, it’s not only that you’re meeting each other for the first time, but it’s that you’re meeting YOURSELVES for the first time.

Most people wouldn’t be caught dead treating anyone the way they treat their spouse. Most people don’t recognize their own behavior. “I’m just not myself with him/her.” Well then who is that person? That’s YOU…it’s your character. (And your spouse meets their character.)

The reason so many people fail at marriage and an attempt at marriage renewal is NOT that they don’t like their spouse. It’s that they don’t like THEMSELVES. And while everyone else in their life is like a mirror reflecting their personality; their spouse is a mirror reflecting their character. And most people don’t like what they see.

Many people would rather choose to be with someone else than remain with their spouse and have to continue to be with themselves. (Did you get that?)

Balthasar Gracian wrote in his 17th century manual on success, The Art of Worldly Wisdom, as follows: “You are as much a real person as you are deep. As with the depths of a diamond, the interior is twice as important as the surface. There are people who are all facade, like a house left unfinished when the funds run out. They have the entrance of a palace but the inner rooms of a cottage.”

Marriage renewal and individual character development go hand-in-hand. If you want to improve one, work on the other too.

How To Rebuilt Trust In A Marriage

 free  Comments Off on How To Rebuilt Trust In A Marriage
Apr 092023
 

If a marriage has problems, the chances are good that trust has been broken. And yet, trust is a central component for a successful marriage. So how do you restore broken trust? And how do you do it without spending months in marriage counseling?

Trust can be broken in so many ways. The most common culprits are an affair, hidden addictions, lying, and financial secrecy.

But if you look deep into the heart of a distrusting spouse, it goes beyond the usual trust busters. Trust is weakened in a relationship when a spouse is frequently late, unreliable, or insensitive. Hiding a few empty beer cans can damage trust between you. It doesn’t take much to shake trust.

But it sure takes a lot to rebuild it!

We live in a microwave world of fast food, express delivery, and speedy-print. And so we figure, if we lost trust in an instant, there must be a way to rebuild it in an instant too. NOT!

Trust is built one small step at a time. There’s no other way. There’s no Herculean event that can deliver instant-trust. In fact, by definition, trust is about CONSISTENCY. That’s what it means to trust someone…to be able to PREDICT their behavior. Predictability is a function of repetition. Repetition comes with TIME.

Think about it. When you trust someone, it means you can RELY on them. But before you can rely on someone, you must depend on them time and again and NOT be disappointed. If you’re disappointed, even once, the trust is broken.

I often compare the building of a relationship to the building of a house…both happen one brick at a time. And every brick is significant because it strengthens the foundation. The stronger the foundation, the more room you have for error. For example, how damaging is it to ruin one brick when you’re working on the 3rd floor of a house? It’s no big deal, right? You have a strong foundation, the house is in tact, you clean up the mess, and you build on.

It’s like that in a relationship. If you have a strong foundation, you can make a mistake without ruining everything. It’s no big deal. You can move on.

But trust is DIFFERENT. One mistake kills you. Because trust is about CONSISTENCY.

Building trust is NOT analogous to building a house; it’s more like climbing a ladder. You don’t have a foundation to support you. If you slip, you fall all the way to the bottom.

That’s how trust works. It’s unforgiving.

So if you’re trying to restore trust in your marriage, and you’re expected to meet your spouse for dinner before your marriage counseling appointment at 6:15PM, don’t arrive at 6:19PM. For you, 6:19PM might be a matter of 4 minutes and no big deal. But to your spouse it might be about reliability, and you may have just slipped all the way to the bottom. You just broke whatever pattern of consistency you built prior to arriving late. And now you have to start all over again.

How do you rebuild trust? You make and keep promises. Make and keep. Make and keep. Make and keep. Over and over again. AND DON’T MISS! Nothing destroys trust faster than making and BREAKING a promise.

To be consistent (to build trust), you need lots of opportunities to come-through. So create them for yourself.

“Honey, I’ll pick up some milk before I come home.” And then do it!

“I’ll meet you at our marriage counseling appointment at 9AM.” And then do it!

“I’ll read it by tomorrow.” And then do it!

“I’ll say it differently next time.” And then do it!

Look for opportunities to make and keep promises. That’s your opportunity to build trust. Like a ladder…climb one rung at a time. It takes time. There’s no short-cut. And you can’t slip. You have to stay focused.

And just to be clear, the little things count big. If trust is about consistency, then it doesn’t matter what you promise. Just promise and come through.

Don’t think that just because trust came crashing down in one dramatic event (an affair or whatever) that you have to reestablish it with one dramatic event too. You can rebuild trust by making and keeping SMALL promises over an extended period of time.
