Changing the oil often, right or wrong? February 16, 2010

Lately there has been a lot of discussion in the media on the topic of changing oil, specifically on how often it should be changed. Some people convince others to change the oil in their vehicles every 3,000 miles and some convince to change it every 7500 miles. Well, where’s the truth? First of all, the major engine environmental conditions which the oil must deal with are friction, intense heat, and contaminants. Let’s take a closer look at them.

Friction comes from hundreds of moving metal parts rubbing against each other. This creates intense heat and pressure which would destroy the engine in a very short period of time. The oil’s job is to provide a lubricating film between the moving parts of the car’s engine to decrease the friction and its negative effects.

In water-cooled approximately 60 percent of the cooling is achieved by water. The oil performs the rest of the cooling function. As it circulates rapidly through the engine, the oil carries heat away from the all internal parts.

Contaminants can build up in the car’s engine in the form of soot, ash, acid, and moisture. This results in dirt in the form of sludge, varnish, and resins that become baked onto engine parts and interfere with proper performance and oil flow. And all this dirt can be either filtered or drained away only after oil change.

All these factors harm cylinder walls and that’s how hills and valleys appear on them as the oil loses its ability to lubricate, clean and flow freely. It results in the engine losing power and eventually in total engine’s death, which can cost up to $5000 to replace it. So, changing the oil more often will prolong engine’s life greatly and it’s kind of a cheap insurance but with huge cash value. The better you treat your motor the nicer it roars.

It’s all about cleaning… February 9, 2010

Professional cleaning and housekeeping became a skilled type of work long ago, it takes years to workers to gain the professional level. Modern office buildings and malls are built using modern construction technologies and expensive materials that require corresponding care. How many magnificent marble floors were ruined because improper chemicals were used, how many carpets got worn out before they were supposed to due to postponed and incorrect cleaning!

Inside lining suffers every day! The most recent research of the University of Arizona concerning contamination of office staff’s work place shows that microbal concentration on worker’s computer desk is sometimes 400!!! times higher than in public rest-rooms. And no wonder because PC users spend most of the time sitting by the screen working, eating, talking on the phone and who knows what else doing there. That’s why they simply forget even about basic hygiene rules.

Modern professional cleaning today is a whole industry with its technology, specialized chemicals, experienced staff. Today many companies and home owners understand that their property needs to be better taken care of as they invested a lot of money in it. It deserves to be clean and correspond to its status. Give your piece of property what it needs and it’s going to serve you well for years.

Gifts for the ones we love February 6, 2010

Everyone celebrates St. Valentine’s Day – those who found their loving parts long time ago and happy being married, and the ones who are still dating someone in big love, and the ones anticipating their sweet love. If you want to make this day notable with sweet heart memories you need to make a present.

The main symbol of this day, of course, is a valentines card – a small card with warm words of love, romantic verse, pleasant phrase or simple compliments to somebody. Long time ago people in love made valentines cards themselves giving them all the warmth of their souls and heat of their hearts. They used colorful paper, foil, old cards, some them made their valentines from silver and gold, silk and sateen, caramel and chocolate. Such valentine was not just a gift but a symbol of the most sincere feelings.

But those days are gone. Today you can hardly find a person, who can make a valentine by hand. We have millions of them ready to be sold everywhere. You can find any kind of cards – small and big ones, bright and tender, romantic and comic.

But there’s one valentine gift, which will remain the most symbolizing gift to the ones we love – flowers. You won’t find a better gift, which can tell about overwhelming feelings. The first flower, that comes to my mind is, of course, authentic royal roses. It’s a common tradition to give red roses to mature people, whereas young people would rather prefer pink roses, these are more tender and romantic. White roses are usually given to people considered as objects of secret adoration as they symbolize pure, innocence and sincere love. Number of flowers in your bouquet also matters. So, don’t stint the gifts for the ones you care about most. The more flowers you have in your bouquet, the stronger feelings you have, thus, the more emphatic your attitude is.

Flowers is the best way to make a way to woman’s heart, this is so endearing, and even the most ridiculous feminist will love you for any flowers, no matter how big the bouquet is.
