			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft  wp-image-298" style="border-image: initial; border-width: 1px; border-color: black; border-style: solid; margin: 5px;" title="promotional mug" src="http://www.homengardensite.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/photo2.jpg" alt="promotional mug" width="200" height="225" />Instead of giving your business associates another fruit basket, why not give them something that will remain useful to them for a long time? Promotional mugs serve as both a useful office accessory for recipients and an effective marketing tool for your company. By distributing corporate gifts that are of value to your business associates, employees and prospective clients, you are ensuring that your company message will remain in their view for a long time coming.<span id="more-297"></span></p>
<p><strong>Make Your Message Count</strong></p>
<p>When you distribute promotional mugs to various business related recipients, you have one shot to connect with them and garner their support. Make sure that your logo is well designed and professional in appearance. In addition, you would be wise to tailor your message to the specific demographic with which you wish to connect. If your recipients can relate to the message imprinted on their corporate gifts, they are more likely to use the mugs on a daily basis, which will in turn provide a great deal of exposure for your company and its products.</p>
<p><strong>Add a Little Something Special </strong><br />
Promotional mugs provide the perfect receptacle in which to place a little something special in each mug that you distribute to your business associates. By placing a small container of coffee, tea, or cocoa into the mugs before you distribute them, you are bringing the effectiveness of you advertising campaign to a new level. People appreciate thoughtfulness and they will be more open to your company message if they feel that you took the time and effort to make your corporate gifts special.</p>
<p><strong>Take Advantage of Seasonal Holidays</strong></p>
<p>Seasonal holidays are a great opportunity to give corporate gifts that bear your company logo. For instance, you can design a mug to coincide with Memorial Day, Valentines Day, or any number of other holidays that other companies may not celebrate with the giving of gifts. This is a great way to keep your company fresh in your business associates&#8217; minds and show them that you appreciate their ongoing business.</p>
<p><strong>Ship Promotional Mugs Along with Company Orders</strong></p>
<p>If your business ships out orders to businesses on a regular basis, you may want to include a few promotional mugs along with the order to show clients your appreciation. This will cause your company to be perceived in a positive light by your clients and will also continue to increase your company&#8217;s exposure as the mugs bearing your company logo are used in the homes and offices of their recipients.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft  wp-image-294" style="border-image: initial; border-width: 1px; border-color: black; border-style: solid; margin: 5px;" title="colour wheel" src="http://www.homengardensite.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/photo1.jpg" alt="colour wheel" width="200" height="224" />Sometimes people hear the words &#8216;home improvement&#8217; and feel daunted already, thinking it to be a difficult, challenging, time-consuming process. Perhaps they think it means something more complicated and expensive, such as kitchen or bathroom remodeling. In truth, home improvement is anything that improves the home, which can be something as simple as a fresh coat of paint!</p>
<p>Painting is one of my personal favorite forms of home improvement. It&#8217;s cheap, easy, and not so time consuming. It can also transform the whole look and feel of a room, or even the entire home, interior and exterior both.<span id="more-292"></span></p>
<p>Of course, it&#8217;s not really so simple as buying just any can of paint and using just any brush. There are various finishes of paint to choose from. Interior paint finishes include flat, satin, eggshell, semi-gloss, and glossy. It depends on which room you wish to paint and what its use is which paint finish you choose. For example, with a child&#8217;s bedroom, you would want to use either eggshell or satin finish, as these would hold up better in rooms with higher use, and are more washable. The higher gloss finishes will show any wall imperfections, so before using these it is even more important to prep the walls well.</p>
<p>Before painting, it is best to clean the surface you wish to paint so that the paint will stick better. It wouldn&#8217;t be very profitable to have spent much time painting, only to see the paint peel or crack soon because the wall wasn&#8217;t clean!</p>
<p>It is also advisable to invest in good quality brushes of varying sizes, because you will need smaller brushes for smaller areas, such as above doors, or in corners. If painting a large area, use rollers. This will cover more area in a shorter time.</p>
<p>This touches some of the basics of painting.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-247" title="pool fence" src="http://www.homeandgardenidea.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/pool-fence.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="156" />Placing a fence around your pool, whether above ground or in-ground, is a safety issue recommended for any homeowner. Homes with children should definitely consider fencing in their pool area to keep children out of harm&#8217;s way. In many areas, it is required by law that you place a gated fence around your pool to avoid hazardous risks that might occur. Much too often, accidents occur that can easily have been avoided if the proper precautions had been taken.</p>
<p>Before having a pool installed, call your city hall to find out if they require you to have a fence put up. Even if they say that they do not, consider your options. Fences can have an attractive look to them if they are done right. Add a wrought iron gated fence around the perimeter of your pool and you might find the visual aspect of it quite attractive. Fencing off your pool area can also add to a sense of privacy and keep intruders out or allow you to relax in peace and quiet without having to stress over prying eyes.<span id="more-285"></span></p>
<p>You can keep children, elderly people and household animals safe by installing a fence around your pool. In order to do this you need to decide what type of fence you want, whether it be vinyl, picket, wrought iron, chain link, and more. There are a variety of options available. The effort of building a fence is minimal and cost is fairly decent. Use graph paper to design your fenced in pool area. Make notations of length, width and height so that you can refer back to it when you are shopping for your materials.</p>
<p>A few of the required supplies that you will need include fence sections, posts, gates, brackets and child safety locks. Mark your lawn with posts, string or spray paint so that you know where your fence sections need to go. Dig holes for your posts and make sure that they are securely placed in the ground. Once your fence is installed and in place, go around the perimeter to make sure that everything is safe, secure and installed properly.</p>
<p>Always make sure your pool is locked up tight behind the fence every night before you go to bed. Make this a daily habit to ensure all the proper safety precautions have been taken. It is always better to be safe rather than sorry. Accidents can be avoided by taking a few moments out of your time to make sure the locks on the gate of your pool fence are securely in place and out of reach of little hands. This is best for your peace of mind and everyone else&#8217;s as well.</p>
<p>Add safety and style to your swimming pool and add value to your house &#8211; install a <a href="http://www.safety-and-style-glass-pool-fencing-perth.com.au/" target="_blank">glass pool fence</a>.<!--more--></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-243" title="roofing" src="http://www.homeandgardenidea.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/roofing-300x280.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="180" />The roof is one of the most revealing and largest features of a home. There is a lot of time and money that goes into making it as appealing and durable as possible. A roof also has a lot of different choices on how to make it look. Terracotta tiles to the simplistic shingles can really change the way your house stands out. They will also decide how long your roof will last until you need to do some maintenance. Steel roofing is fairly easy to install and will last you generally 25 years although there are types of steel roofing that can be less than 25 years or even more. As long as you get them properly installed, you shouldn&#8217;t worry about the next time you need a new roof.</p>
<p>More popular types of metal roofing are treated zinc-aluminum and untreated zinc-aluminum. Metal roofs are very flexible and will indeed withstand the harsh weather conditions you may have.Now if you really wanted to make your roof stand out then tile roofing is the way to go. Some different tiles such as terracotta, concrete or slate will make your roof be the best feature on a home. Since they are non-flamable then if you live in an area with many wild fires then terracotta tiles are the ones you want. They are also frost-resistant and they vary in finishes. Concrete tiles on the other hand are highly durable and can last at least 50 years. Slate will not crack, fade or discolour and as long as they are properly installed then they can last up to a whole century.</p>
<p>Because of the fact they don&#8217;t fade, crack or discolour, slate is ideal if you really wanted to make your roof a feature. The two most popular shingles used today are architectural shingles and 3-tab shingles. Architectural shingles are ideal when you want your home to stand out. They are installed like 3-tab shingles depending on who your roofer is but they are more durable if installed correctly. 3-tab shingles are easy installation and also the cheapest shingle on the market.<span id="more-282"></span></p>

Of course, material possessions weren&#8217;t extremely important to me at the time, so it didn&#8217;t matter that he didn&#8217;t have money to buy an engagement ring for me. However, this was difficult for my husband to accept. He told me he loved me and he never wanted to lose me. I told him I felt the same way.</p>
<p>The next day I got home from work early and I saw one of those personalized rubber bracelets sitting on the kitchen table with a note underneath it. I walked over and picked it up. There was a note on the bracelet that said:</p>
<p>&#8220;I will marry you someday-This is my pre-engagement promise.&#8221;</p>
<p>I never thought that I would love one of those personalized rubber bracelets, but I picked that one up and never took it off until many years later when he actually did buy me a ring and we got married.</p>
<p>We recently celebrated our 10 year anniversary. I had forgotten all about the bracelet, but as he was toasting to me, he brought it out inside a shadow box with other pictures and memories. It was the best gift I&#8217;ve ever received.<span id="more-279"></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-232" title="nets" src="http://www.homeandgardenidea.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/nets.jpg" alt="" width="220" height="146" />Safety netting is becoming very popular with many places across the world. Numerous companies are either increasing the amount of safety netting they currently have or installing safety nets for the first time. When installed correctly, safety nets can mean the difference between life and death for many workers.</p>
<p>Safety nets work well in many situations. Construction sites are one place that would benefit from the installation of safety nets. Often, construction workers are working at high elevations and the chance of falling is present. With safety netting in place, if a worker fell they would be caught by the safety net and unharmed. When installed correctly, safety nets are very effective at reducing the number of fatalities in the workplace.</p>
<p>Safety nets can also be used in indoor basketball courts and sports stadiums. Many times, light and ceiling fixtures are damaged because balls hit them. Safety nets are installed over the top of the courts and help to protect the lights and ceilings of these areas. This can be very cost-effective solution to the owners of the courts and stadiums.</p>
<p>In order to receive an estimate for the cost and time frame of safety net installation, one must contact one of the many companies that specialize in netting. These companies can be found worldwide, and are experts in the world of netting. Safety nets can be installed in any area, and the installation can be done quickly. After the netting company is contacted, they will send out one of their netting professionals to determine the customer&#8217;s netting needs. They will then provide an estimate of both the materials needed and the time required to complete the installation. After installation is complete, the customer is free to enjoy the benefits of the new safety netting. Safety netting is sensible choice for any company&#8217;s safety needs.<span id="more-276"></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-225" title="camper" src="http://www.homeandgardenidea.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/camper.jpg" alt="" width="120" height="96" />People who love to experience the outdoors also love camping out once in a while.  With the myriad of choices of camping gear out there, it is sometimes a puzzle on which equipment to use and buy.  When camping, the most important equipment that we should first consider is the shelter.  Even if we would want to spend most of the time outdoors, it is a fact that come resting time we would need a shelter to protect us from the elements. <span id="more-273"></span> Hence the question &#8211; should I buy a tent or a <a href="http://giccampertrailers.com.au/camper-trailer-experts/" target="_blank">camper trailer</a>?</p>
<p>Most of us know what a tent is.  It is a piece of synthetic fabric that is made into make-shift roofs or igloo-like contraptions.  An <a href="http://findmybiz.com.au/camping.html" target="_blank">outback camper trailer</a>, on the other hand, is a pre-formed, wheeled, hollow room that can be attached to a motorcycle or a car and towed to the desired camping location.  Some camper trailers, the larger ones, can even be driven on their own.</p>
<p>Obviously, the <a href="http://giccampertrailers.com.au/">cheapest camper trailers</a> are still more costly than the most expensive tents.  But, with its price also comes the convenience of never having to set up another tent again.  Of course, the tent is more portable and can be brought into even the thickest part of a forest; while a camper trailer can only be brought where a car can navigate.  The trailers can also offer more protection from the elements than a tent and are obviously more comfortable.  Another convenience is that you can put all your camping stuff on the trailers themselves without the worry of having to lug them around.</p>
<p>In the end, the choice to use a tent or a <a href="http://giccampertrailers.com.au/">camping trailer</a> is entirely dependent on your usage and your budget.  If you decide to purchase a trailer, you should check out all the types of camper trailers for sale before deciding on what to buy.  There are different types of trailers to choose from and there is even a combination of a tent and a trailer which are called <a href="http://giccampertrailers.com.au/camper-trailer-tents/">camper tents</a>.  Whichever you choose, just make sure that it is the right fit for you and your camping needs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-218" title="room paint" src="http://www.homeandgardenidea.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/room-paint.jpg" alt="" width="204" height="158" />The right ceiling color can reshape a whole room and create a different atmosphere. It&#8217;s the most sophisticated decorating change you can make to any space.</p>
<p>Here are some things to know when choosing a paint color and preparing to paint.</p>
<p><strong>TIPS</strong></p>
<ul type="disc">
<ul type="disc">
<li>White, or off white, paint is often chosen as a ceiling color because it gives the illusion of a high ceiling. Medium tones and darker colors, such as a navy or dark brown, visually bring the ceiling lower and create a cozy, smaller space. Using a dark color on a low ceiling, like a seven to eight foot height, may make the room feel claustrophobic or cave like. In a taller room with a ten to twelve foot ceiling or higher, a darker ceiling can help pull the space into more realistic proportions. Suggestions: Stay in the light to medium tones in a low ceiling room to affect a subtle change.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<p><span id="more-270"></span></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Buy a good quality paint product. Cheaper often indicates a poor quality product. Poor quality paint products generally have a less sophisticated color pallet and are usually thin, requiring more coats of paint. If you buy quality, you will get the job done faster and the color will be more sophisticated. Suggestion: Search for sales at the local home stores to get the quality products at better prices.</li>
<li>Always allow paint to dry thoroughly between coats. Applying a second or third coat to paint that is not completely dry means you are pushing gummy paint around on a surface. In the later stages of drying, additional paint can lead to flaking and peeling. Eliminating this mess is difficult. Suggestion: Use a fan to help the drying process.</li>
<li>Finances for Renovations and Repairs There are several things that homeowners do to pay for renovations to their homes. The most common thing to do is to get a home equity loan. By borrowing on your home you can increase the value of your home and thus the loan pays for itself. However, it has become tougher these days to get home equity loans due to banks tightening up lending requirements. So if you are able to borrow money another way, such as from a family or friend then this may work better. There are also plenty of private lenders as well. In a worst case scenario you could get a payday loan to cover some much needed repairs but be sure to pay them off quickly.</li>
</ul>
