Coleman Portable Heater

Diana — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 02:21:24 +0000

When you need a backup heater for power outages or want to heat a garage, shop, tent, boat, or ice shanty but there is no other sources are available you can use Coleman 5053A751 ProCat Portable Catalytic Propane Heater. This electronic ignition cordless heater for indoor use is ready to go wherever you might need some warmth.
Constructed with 3,000 BTU output, the catalytic heater with platinum technology provides flameless heat from a pressure-regulated propane fuel system that produces a steady fuel stream, even in cold weather, at high altitudes, or when fuel is low. The starting mechanism is a fast-acting piezoelectric sparker that ignites the propane in the presence of atmospheric O2. Easy to operate, you simply screw a 16.4-ounce propane cylinder on the back, turn the knob to “on” for a few seconds, and hit the ignition switch. The portable heater moves the heat efficiently with a fan, powered by two D batteries (not included), for better circulation. The Coleman ProCat operates for up to eight hours on 16.4-ounce Coleman propane cylinder.

The heater has a piezoelectric start which usually fires up right away. It puts out a fair sized fireball when it starts which can startle you if you are not ready for it. It takes about 3 minutes to warm up and really start radiating the heat but once it gets going it puts out quite a bit of heat. It is a flame less heat and although it will not catch anything on fire the heat is hot enough to melt synthetic items that get too close. Coleman 5053A751 ProCat Perfectemp Heater price is $84.00 at Amazon

Hoover F5914-900 Home Steam Vacuum

Diana — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 06:06:26 +0000

Reduce your expense of having to rent a steam cleaner and keeps rugs, upholstery, and bare floors (other than hardwoods) looking like new with his powerful home steam vacuum, Hoover F5914-900 Home Steam Vacuum. The powerful 12-amp motor combined with five spinning brushes that operate at either high or low speed lift the usual dirt and grime out of carpets. This deep cleaner releases the included carpet/upholstery cleaner and hot tap water by pulling on the trigger in the comfortable upright handle. The Steam Vacuum also has a Clean Surge feature, which sends an extra blast of cleaning solution into the stain by simply pressing a button on the handle.

Release the trigger and the Steam Vacuum forces hot air into the cleaning path so you can do a few dry strokes over the stain when cleaning is complete. To keep clean water apart from dirty water, this deep cleaner has two separate water tanks. The top tank holds the detergent and 1 gallon of hot water and automatically mixes the two so you don’t need to get your hands wet. While the lower tank holds the dirty solution picked up from the carpet and unlatches to easily pour out into a sink without spilling.

This deep cleaner has a long 8-foot hose and a special stair/upholstery nozzle that scrubs out spots for cleaning stairs or upholstery. Other features of this deep cleaner include a brush indicator, which informs you that the brushes are spinning; an on/off foot pedal; a handle release pedal; and a 27-inch wraparound cord.

Steam Vacuum Tips
The Hoover F5914 really cleans carpets well. On the worst carpet area, the cleaner did as well as a commercial carpet cleaner. Try to do the following to make it a successful cleaning:

Add supplement the hot water with some boiling water to really get the temperature up. By the time the water hits the spray nozzle, it has really cooled off so make it hotter. Bissell uses a heater, but it can’t be that powerful without reducing motor power. Best to supplement.
Patience. Go slow and go over really bad areas. You will HAVE to pretreat and hand wash heavy stains, but so do the pros. Don’t expect a diamond out of coal. You still have to do the work.
Clean often. I have one carpet that I waited way too long and it just won’t come clean. The pros can’t and I can’t. BIG lesson learned there.

Price
Hoover F5914-900 Home Steam Vacuum is $135.73 from Amazon.

Introduce Solid Food to Your Baby

Diana — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 05:27:01 +0000

How to introduce solid food to your baby? Well If you are a new mom, you just need to educate yourself a little on the kind of food that is healthy and is applicable to the taste buds of your child when introducing solid food to your baby is not difficult. You will be assured that your baby grows into a food loving toddler, a healthy teenager and a well nourished adult when you start your baby on eating healthy home-cooked food as often as possible. The three best ways of introducing children to fruits and vegetables are with soups, juices and smoothies.

Between five to six month
At this time you can start introducingpureed solids, beginning with baby rice and then any vegetables, followed by fruits. Use the vegetables you’re eating, but don’t add salt during cooking. How to cook: Cook the vegetables until soft, then puree until smooth, adding boiled water, add more water if it’s too thick. When you start mixing flavors, use a maximum of three ingredients, and make sure to use the freshest ingredients.

At Six Months
By this time start introducing a little chicken meat, tropical fruits, berries, dairy products, and oats. Don’t give commercial bread and commercial breakfast cereals as both contain enormously high levels of salt which is not good for the baby’s health. It is best to just make your own bread or just give them pasta, which most little ones love to play with as well as eat. Organic oat-based cereals are excellent too but don’t forget that they can be very filling so keep the portions small to avoid the risk of excluding other types of healthy food from baby’s diet.

At Nine Months
Start offering eggs, beans and fish.

At Age 2
From the age of two you can give shrimps and other shellfish, but its best to wait another couple of years before letting them eat mussels, scallops or oysters.

Pre-school years
This is your last chance before your child get exposed to unhealthy foods, so now’s the time to train your child to eat healthy foods. Slowly introduce them to more adventurous foods like grilled chicken breast with roast vegetables, which children often prefer to steamed or boiled vegetables. Start using more garlic, onions, herbs and spices in cooking and always make sure that they have plenty of fresh fruit to go with it.

Weaning tips:

Don’t try more than one new flavor a day.
Try out new foods between meals as a taster so baby doesn’t associate foods he or she doesn’t like with mealtimes.
If some food gets spat out, don’t give up; it may take six or more attempts before baby accepts that particular taste.

Note:

Children shouldn’t be given nuts or seeds like peanuts and peanut butter until they’re five because of the risk of allergic reactions.
If you have an option, buy organic food and make sure you wash them before use, even organic ones.
