<br />
For the weatherstripping to be effective, all the gaps must be closed completely. The weatherstripping material should be flexible in order to spring back to its original shape when opening and closing doors.<br />
<br />
Apply weatherstripping to the tops and sides of any door frame in your house. Try V-shaped weatherstripping because it maintains good seal for warped doors or uneven openings. The V-shaped weatherstripping is like wedge.<br />
<br />
Look for special weatherstripping for doors, because it must withstand constant opening and closing cycle, must withstand changing temperatures, and moisture caused by temperature differences.<br />
<br />
Note, weatherstripping is <b>effective method to reduce air leaks around the house</b>. Leaks can contribute to <b>loss of energy up to 40%</b>.LivingInAurora.cahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00908410338831814114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7070100755063790970.post-59864303295330050992012-09-28T16:27:00.000-04:002012-11-29T14:17:30.268-05:00Keep Your Toilet Closed - One Step To Keep Your Washroom Cleaner & To Keep Good Energy WithinI read once the Feng Shui book and since then I kept all my toilet lids closed. I have never realized that I also kept my washroom cleaner.<br />
<br />
Well, so what is the story about Feng Shui. I read that every time you flush the toilet, in addition to water the positive chi energy is swept away down the drain. Therefore, if you keep the toilet lid closed that energy stays in your home and life.<br />
<br />
You cannot retain the water when you flush the toilet. That water and waste must go. You must also realized that before you flush in the toilet and the rim germs accumulate. When you flush the water flushes some of them down the drain and some of them travel out in every direction.<br />
<br />
Now if you have anything close by such toothbrushes, shavers, soaps and towels. Where do you think that the splashed germ water will go? Of course on all the things close by.<br />
<br />
After what you read may be it is now a good time to change some things around the house including the old habits. The new habit is to keep the toilet lid closed at all times when flushing the toilet and afterwards. It may be harder to do that with older family members, however, children learn fast.<br />
<br />
How do you make visitors to do that? I think simple idea is to write a special note card or even a note framed in front of the toilet that tells the visitor to keep the toilet closed and as a nice gesture you may want to explain why.<br />
<br />
Hope this will help you keep your washroom more hygienic and keep you away from germs.LivingInAurora.cahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00908410338831814114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7070100755063790970.post-81650043310379865192012-09-12T14:32:00.000-04:002012-11-29T14:16:56.385-05:00Best Way To Manage Your ExpensesTo successfully manage your expenses you must see your cash flow. Over the years talking to many individuals I found that we don't want to pay by the credit card because we are scared to see the resultant amount to pay by the end of the month. However, seeing is better than not seeing. Seeing will make you aware how much cash is sometimes going to waste. Here are few examples how you can make your cash flow visible. In some cases it requires a bit of work, however, on the end it is worth doing.<br />
<ul>
<li>Pay for everything with credit card. Even if you have many credit cards, try to use one main one. These days even places like fast food restaurants accept major credit cards. Take advantage. You know that with credit card you are not paying now, but later.</li>
<li>Keep track of items you paid by cash. Create spreadsheet or form to record your cash spending.</li>
<li>Keep track of all your expenses including house utilities.</li>
<li>Keep all your receipts and match them to your credit card statement. Credit companies and stores make mistakes also, and you can easily pay for errors from your pocket.</li>
<li>On your expense spreadsheet also keep track how much GST or PST you paid, any delivery charges, cash back, and coupons. Having items like cash back and coupons will actually make you feel better. Every year I save over $200 CAD in coupons and get about $400 CAD in cash back through credit cards.</li>
<li>Evaluate your spending and once you see some money wasted, do something about it.</li>
</ul>

I hope that everyone's resolution for this year is about Saving Money. If you have any cash savings available it is a good time to invest in the Tax Free Savings Account.<br />
<br />
The nice thing about the TFSA account it is that any interest earned is tax-free. Money can be taken out anytime from TFSA because it is a savings account. Most of the time TFSA has higher interest rate. But if you do not need TFSA money you can invested in GIC or stocks, and remember any interest you earn is tax-free.<br />
<br />
Now who offers the best interest rates.<br />
<br />
ING Direct is usually has the best rate. However, I have recently discovered about the <a href="https://www.myctfs.com/Rates/TaxFreeSavings/"><b>Canadian Tire Financial Services</b></a>. Their TFSA interest rate is whooping <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">2.75%</span></b>. Probably subject to change in the future, but they all do that. Note that some institutions also offer higher interest rate on the initial deposit just to get you in. You may want to check out ING Direct and PC Financial as other options.<br />
<br />

It guarantees accurate prices at the checkout scanner.<br />
<br />
The policy states: '<i>If the scanned price of a non-price ticketed item is higher than the shelf price or any other displayed price, the customer is entitled to receive the item free, up to a $10 maximum. When the item has a price tagged, the lowest price applies. When identical items are incorrectly priced, the second one will be sold at the correct price</i>.'<br />
<br />
If the item scanned has wrong price at the participating retailer, you will get it for free or $10 off if the item is more than $10. Ensure to ask, it may not be promoted, all that for pointing out the error. Participating stores should have a sticker around the checkout register and entrance doors.<br />
<br />

The item is usually some kind of polymer made ring or other shaped object filled with liquid or gel. The liquid inside must be pure and free of any type of bacteria or contamination. This is just in case the teether gets punctured. Health Canada requires that baby teether is free of any living micro-organisms. However, looks like approximately 11 brands that arrived Canada did not pass this test. The question is how is that we decided to test the product when already in the consumer hands, or more so in baby's hands.<br />
<br />
<i>How is this possible?</i> Everything is possible if you do not perform right tests or skip process steps, and most of all looks like importers or distributer do not think about the safety, rather think about how fast they can sell it to the stores. So this is one loose end. Another might be is that the design of each teether passed the failure test, so the manufacturing decided to be easy on the filling material of the teether. I wonder what kind of failure tests they performed that made them think to be ignorant of that step in the process. Looks like someone is paying for the screw up, and good thing there were no illness incidences in this matter. Another loose end is that they Health Canada tested first one in 2006, and no body got the idea.<br />
<br />
The following stats were compiled based on the 2009 recalled list from Government of Canada - Healthy Canadians. The numbers are kind of scary how many different brands were recalled. <i>We were fortunate that there were no incidences posing health issues on the baby.</i> My suggestion, find other way, I am sure that the polymer the teether is made of may be not be good for baby to chew on either.<br />

The glasses come in four different characters: Shrek, Fiona, Puss n' Boots, and Donkey. It is the designs on the glass that contains cadmium and long term exposure to cadmium can cause adverse health effects. This glassware was tested and determined to be in full compliance with Canadian requirements for heavy metals including cadmium.<br />
<br />
So far, neither McDonald's Canada nor Health Canada has received reports of illnesses related to the use of these glasses. Approximately 1.4 million of the recalled glasses were sold exclusively at McDonald's restaurants across Canada starting May 10th to June 4th, 2010.<br />

However, in here free means that you don't sign up for any loose weight programs. All you need is to change your bad habits and bring on the discipline.<br />
<br />
You already buying food, so why not buy good healthy food. Note foods high in salt will make you eat more.<br />
<br />
<b>PROTEIN</b> - eat about 6 good servings of protein a day; how to measure your serving simple, size of your palm.<br />
<b>CARBOHYDRATES</b> - eat about 6 good servings of carbohydrates a day; serving defined as above.<br />
<b>VEGETABLES</b> - eat unlimited amount of vegetables, or have the same amount as protein and carbohydrates.<br />
<br />
<b>DRINK</b> - drink about 10 glasses of water, try to drink before or after meals; drinking during meals dilutes the digestive enzymes thus your digestion my slow down.<br />
<br />
<b>EXERCISE</b> - simple walking will do; start with 20 minutes walk, and gradually increase to 40 or 1 hour; try to pick roads that are uphill. Bring friend with you.<br />
<br />

<br />
<i>How about your cravings?</i> Well, we all know sweets are carbohydrates and with lots of sugar. The more carbohydrates you eat, the more you want to eat. Well pick a day of the week and treat yourself with cookies or cakes, but only once a week to satisfy your craving.<br />
<br />
Hope you can follow the above steps. After few months after you adjust yourself to the following nutritional plan, you can enhance your program even more. The reason I don't want to write anything enhanced here yet because people get overwhelmed and either don't do it at all, or do it once and get discouraged.<br />
<br />
With this plan your weight loss is slow, but effective, healthy and enjoyable. Be patient.LivingInAurora.cahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00908410338831814114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7070100755063790970.post-32815597180463035662010-03-21T23:05:00.001-04:002010-04-17T23:54:48.279-04:00Free $10 Coupon at Shoppers Drug Mart with Purchase<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=myonph-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B002AULJFS&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=FFFFFF&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>Spend $50 or more on almost anything in the Shoppers Drug Mart store and receive a <a href="http://www.shoppersdrugmart.ca/english/offers/special/coupon/index.html">free $10 coupon</a> on your next purchase.
