All About Keeping The Fireplace Clean

Category : Domestic Services

Submitted by: James Terrell

During winter seasons or during rainy seasons when it seems to be so cold all around, you would normally want something that would keep you warm and comfortable. Naturally, when you go home, you would want to rest and relax after a very busy day at work or at school. But this will not be possible when you feel so cold even inside your home. This is when a fireplace becomes very helpful and useful. Having a fireplace at home means having a good and effective source of heat. Thus, you won t have to worry even if snow is all over the place or even if it s raining very hard outside knowing that there is something to keep your warm in your home. But just like any other stuff inside the house like furniture and appliances, there is also a need for you to regularly clean the fireplace to prevent dirt and dust build up. This is also for the purpose of maintaining the clean and pleasant look of your fireplace which can affect the overall look of your home.

When it comes to cleaning the fireplace, you should do the job right by knowing the do s and don ts. You have to remember that cleaning a fireplace is not the same as cleaning the floor, walls, ceiling, windows, etc. To properly clean the fireplace, you should use an appropriate cleaning solution that will not cause any damages on it or possible leave a flammable residue, perhaps you might to consider a non-abrasive cleaner. Another thing that you should avoid is to use water to wash the fireplace or to sweep away the ashes. Using water would only make the ashes into a paste-like substance which will be more difficult to handle. Sweeping on the other hand will just spread the ashes around the area. After using the fireplace, you should wait for 12 hours before you can clean it and you should use a shovel to take the ashes out from the firebox or a wet/dry vacuum cleaner.

When you re done dealing with the ashes, you can then proceed to cleaning the other parts like the wall, file screen and other fireplace tools. The walls can be scrubbed using a wire brush and the file screen using a cloth together with warm water. And to complete the cleaning process, you need to clean other fireplace tools as well using a cloth and warm water also like what you ve done with the screen.

Cleaning the fireplace is indeed necessary to make sure that it is working properly. Aside from the fact that it is a way of removing all the things that should be removed like ashes, dust and dirt, you will also have a chance to check on all the parts of the fireplace. In this way, you will be able to determine if there are damaged or broken parts that should be repaired, fixed or replaced with new ones. Although cleaning the fireplace may not be a very easy job to do, you will be the one who can mainly benefit from it.

Al Sharpton speaks out on race, rights and what bothers him about his critics

Category : Uncategorized

Monday, December 3, 2007

At Thanksgiving dinner David Shankbone told his white middle class family that he was to interview Reverend Al Sharpton that Saturday. The announcement caused an impassioned discussion about the civil rights leader’s work, the problems facing the black community and whether Sharpton helps or hurts his cause. Opinion was divided. “He’s an opportunist.” “He only stirs things up.” “Why do I always see his face when there’s a problem?”

Shankbone went to the National Action Network’s headquarters in Harlem with this Thanksgiving discussion to inform the conversation. Below is his interview with Al Sharpton on everything from Tawana Brawley, his purported feud with Barack Obama, criticism by influential African Americans such as Clarence Page, his experience running for President, to how he never expected he would see fifty (he is now 53). “People would say to me, ‘Now that I hear you, even if I disagree with you I don’t think you’re as bad as I thought,'” said Sharpton. “I would say, ‘Let me ask you a question: what was “bad as you thought”?’ And they couldn’t say. They don’t know why they think you’re bad, they just know you’re supposed to be bad because the right wing tells them you’re bad.”

Body Art}

Category : Medicine

Submitted by: David Chandler

There are several forms of body art. Body art can be temporary, for example, body painting, or permanent, such as shaping, dyeing, and scarification, tattooing, and piercing. This article will provide some insight into body art.

Body art painting and shaping

Body painting transforms a person into a spirit or work of art; this can include another gender or a sacred place. Emphasizing on the visual appeal of the subject, the protective body paint is what gives it the appeal.

Body shaping is a technique in which to sculpt the body. Culturally defined ideals of beauty have caused people to bind the soft bones of children’s skulls and feet, stretched necks with rings, and removed ribs to make their waist smaller. The most common method today of body sculpting is plastic surgery. Plastic surgery can sculpt and define almost any part of the body.

Skin Dyeing

Henna, is used as a temporary skin dye, in which different patterns and designs are applied to the body. The crushed leaves of the henna plant, when mixed with other natural ingredients, provides a thick, aromatic paste used for painting hands and feet. The olive green, dried out henna powder, mixed with such ingredients as black tea and coffee turns dark. When applied to the skin and left on overnight, it will harden and when pealed leaves a red tone to the skin.

Body art piercing, tattooing, and scarification

Piercing is ornamental as it allows the body to hold certain kinds of ornaments, which are inserted through the skin. The most common parts of the body that are pierced is the face although you will often find ear, nose and lip ornaments. Piercing is often part of a ceremony marking the coming of age. Ornaments might be limited to certain people or worn only on certain occasions

Tattoos are intended to be permanent and the patterns and techniques have varied over the years. The effects of tattooing depend on the country you live in. As an example, in the United States, tattooing is typically looked upon as being rebellious. Tattooing, in the last decade, has become a very popular form of body art throughout the world.

Scarification is much like tattooing, instead of placing a color into the skin with a tattoo needle, the color, or substance is placed into the wound or cut. Once the wound has healed, a permanent mark will remain on the skin

All of the forms of body art listed above can have adverse effects on individuals. There are health concerns with types of body art. If you are contemplating any of the above procedures, be sure to consider all the risks and facts before making any commitments.

First casualty of French riots reported

Category : Uncategorized

Monday, November 7, 2005

Jean-Jacques Le Chenadec has been reported as the first casualty of recent rioting in France. The 61-year old man was beaten by a hooded rioter last week and had been in a coma since the attack.

The uprising was set off by the death of two teenagers who were allegedly chased by police and hid in an electric power station where they were electrocuted.

The French riots have further intensified over the past few days and are now said to have spread to nearly every city in the country.

The French prime minister, Dominique de Villepin, announced on Monday plans to allow the nation’s regions to impose curfews. Mr. de Villepin appeared the day before on television with an appeal to end the violence.

The president, Jacques Chirac, ended his silence on the rioting on Saturday, when he spoke to the press. “Those who want to sow violence or fear will be caught, tried and punished,” he said. “But we also understand very well that we must move towards respect for each individual, justice and equality of opportunity. We are all completely determined to go down this road and pursue the efforts that are already under way in this domain.”

The Minister of the Interior, Nicolas Sarkozy, called for a radical overhaul of the French social model that he said, “in every aspect, needs to be fundamentally rebuilt.” On the same day, various people [1] [2] discovered that UMP, the political party of Nicolas Sarkozy had bought the Google AdWords ‘banlieue’ (suburbs) to advertise their own website on google.fr.

Arrests in the rioting total nearly 1200 following the deaths of two youths on October 27. The unrest, which started in a Paris suburb, has spread to over 270 towns across France. More than 4300 cars have been torched across the country, and 2 schools were burned.
