Aftermarket Or Factory Car Speakers

So you love your music, and you play it all the time whether at home or more often than not in the car, but do you know the difference between music and great sounding music, or does it make a difference to you how good your music sounds?

Often modern cars have an option to upgrade all the audio equipment, this will often increase the quality of the audio (or video) especially when the volume is turned up. However If you haven't upgraded any of the factory fitted equipment in your car it's likely that you haven't experienced good sounding music. So the question is do you want to hear your music how it should be played. If so you will need to go aftermarket.

Most people are unsure about upgrading the sound system because they are concerned it will be too complicated, either fitting or compatibility. However with speakers the only thing you really have to look for is the mounting size and depth. The rest tends to take care of its self. The size of the speakers will depend on the size of the "holes" left from the previous speakers. They usually 5.25" but can be 4" and 6.5". The depth is the amount of space between the door card wall and the car door wall; this will vary from car to car.

The Price of the car speakers will be dependent on the quality of the equipment (and the sound you want to produce) however often you don't need spend loads to get a significant improvement. Factory speakers often run at around 5-15watts per speaker (20watts if you have the upgrade) however you can buy a cheap pair of speakers for 20 that will produce around 50watts, doubling or tripling the power handling capabilities.

If you still have your factory fitted headunit (stereo) installed the new speaker would be under powered however this wouldn't affect the quality of the audio being played (it just means it wouldn't be as loud.)

Guide to Buying Miter Saws

In the good old days a miter saw was something pretty simple, this held the blade in place. This made sure that the blade was held at a specific angle. These tools were normally designed to allow you to make precision cuts at 90 and 45 degree angles by simply adjusting the saw. These were typically manual hand saws which could easily be used to cut frames, or chair moldings to shape. There will be many people that still use this form of manual mitre saw because it works ok and so there is no need to replace it.

I've got the Power!

Power is often the most important thing when looking at tools. Buying power tools saves a lot of time and effort as you don't have to spend so long doing difficult manual labor. There is nothing wrong with a handsaw, it does the job that it's designed to do. However a power saw is not only faster but it should also result in a more accurate and cleaner cut. Power tools are becoming more popular because they aren't really any more expensive than a standard saw. Not only this but power tools also make your job much easier, you no longer have to put in any manual labor to get beautiful looking results.

If you are looking for more professional miter saws then there are plenty of models which may be of interest to you. Some radial saws will allow you to adjust the degree very accurately which will allow you to cut wood at a number of different angles.

Another Angle to Miter Saws

Mitre cuts aren't just great for making picture frames and cutting the moldings but they are also very important for making table tops, and counter tops. You can use a compound mitre saw to make a compound cut this will make counter tops safer as it puts a beveled cut on the straight edge of the top.

You can get a similar result if you use a radial arm saw, however doing this will require several passes through the machines at different angles. A good radial saw is the Dewalt model, however this is no longer sold in America. You should be able to pick one of these up second hand as they are still a fantastic mitre saw.

Panel saws are needed when doing any cabinetry work. These saws are designed to cut large pieces of plywood into rectangular shapes. These are perfect for cabinets. A mitre saw could then be used to create the frame, doors and draws. The frame is normally made out of a softwood because it is fairly inexpensive and easy to work with.

There are many different types of saws which are needed to make a functional workshop. If you don't want a miter saw then go for a radial saw.

The writer Robert Carlton is very interested in information dealing with dewalt radial arm saw parts. You can discover his articles on dewalt radial arm saw at http://www.insidewoodworking.com and other sources for dewalt radial arm saw tips.

101 Tips for a Smoother Home-Buying Process

I created this list for two reasons. First, I want to give you a good understanding of the home buying process from start to finish. Secondly, I want to help you identify those areas where your knowledge-level is lacking, so you can conduct further research on your own.

Preliminary Considerations

1. Learn the home buying process in advance. You'll make much better decisions with a better understanding of the process.

2. Learn the lingo while you're at it (especially all the mortgage terms). You'll have a smoother home buying experience if you "speak the language."

3. Obtain your credit report. To get copies from all three credit bureaus at once, visit www.AnnualCreditReport.com.

4. Review your credit report. Make sure there are no errors. Check everything from the administrative information to the credit history.

5. Fix errors quickly. If you find an error on your credit report, go to the company's website where the report came from (TransUnion, Equifax or Experian) to contest it. Don't delay.

6. Run the numbers. Use an online mortgage calculator to get an idea how various mortgage amounts translate into monthly payments.

7. Check your debt-to-income ratio. Mortgage lenders prefer your overall debt to be no more than 20% of your net monthly income. If your debt is more, pay it down as quickly as possible.

8. Start saving your cash. Mortgage lenders like to see that you have some cash reserves on hand, and you'll need them for any unexpected fees or costs that might arise.

9. Get pre-qualified. Pre-qualification is an informal review of your finances by a mortgage lender to see what amount you might qualify for.

10. Avoid new lines of credit. Don't sign up for new credit cards or make any large credit purchases while you're "under review" by a mortgage lender.

11. Add HomeBuyingInstitute.com to your Internet favorites or bookmarks. Few websites contain as much helpful home buying information for first-time buyers.

Finding a Real Estate Agent

12. Ask friends or family. People who know you well are in the best position to recommend an agent who is right for you.

13. Talk to multiple agents. Don't think you have to sign on with the first agent you meet.

14. Ask how they search. Make sure your agents is going to use every means possible to find the right home for you. That means using the MLS in addition to their preferred listings.

15. Ask how they network. An experienced agent will often be part of a vast network of real estate professionals. This can sometimes help you find a home before it's even listed.

16. Ask about mortgage connections. It will save you time and headache if your agent can point you toward a good mortgage company.

17. Read paperwork carefully. At some point, your chosen agent will ask you to sign an agency agreement. It's usually a boilerplate document, but be sure to read it carefully all the same.

18. Consider the "vibe" factor. You might be working with this person anywhere from 2 to 12 months, so it certainly helps if you like them on a personal level.

19. Exchange cell phone numbers. You should have your agents cell number in your wallet, and vice versa. You don't want to miss an opportunity simply because you couldn't be reached.

House Hunting

20. Create a "need vs. want" list. Make a spreadsheet or checklist of the things you need in a home, versus the things you want. Print a copy for each house you visit and check items off.

21. Practice self-reliance. Don't over-rely on your agent when it comes to finding a home. Get out there and do some hunting yourself. It's a necessity, but it's also exciting!

22. Use multiple channels. The more channels you use to search for a home, the better. Read the newspaper, cruise the neighborhoods, and surf the web.

23. Use the Internet to your full advantage. Bookmark the real estate listing sites you find most helpful. Visit them once a day and write down new homes that meet your criteria.

24. Create a Google Alert. Visit Google's home page, click on "More" and find the Google Alerts. Enter real estate phrases for your area, and you'll get daily updates with news and info.

25. Feel free to snoop (sort of). When house hunting, it's okay to peek into dark corners, basements, storage sheds and the like. Respect the owner's privacy, but see the whole house.

26. Ask plenty of questions. Don't be shy about asking the sellers questions, if they're home.

27. Validate the asking price. It's called an "asking price" for a reason. Compare it to recent sales in the area. Your agent should be expert at this.

28. Consider shopping, dining and the like. Is the home near the places you frequent, or will it be a long drive?

29. Consider the commute. If you're a daily commuter, distance is a big consideration.

30. Visit during rush hour. Is the home hard to access or exit during rush hour? Is there a lot of traffic noise?

31. Check out the zoning. Are you surrounded by residential areas, or is there a soon-to-be-used commercial zone right across the street?

32. Research the neighborhood, not just the house. Neighborhoods impact property value as well as your own happiness.

33. Research taxes. Sometimes, two neighborhoods right across the street from one another will have different tax situations. Don't make assumptions.

34. Research future development. Will that nice meadow down the street be a highway extension or shopping mall in two years?

35. Bring a "disinterested witness." A level-headed friend or family member will help you judge the pros and cons of each home.

36. Avoid "The One" syndrome. Don't pull up to a home and say, "This is the one!" It might be, but you need to be cool-headed and open-minded during your first visit.

37. Bring a digital camera. It's a great way to record the details of each home for later review.

38. Bring a notepad. Jot down some notes about each home, and label each page by address.

39. Ask about ghosts, poltergeists or other forms of haunting. Just kidding.

40. Think five years ahead. Will the home still suit your needs if your family grows?

41. Play home inspector, casually. The full inspection will come later, but you should at least give the "big ticket" items (roof, heating system, etc.) a glance when visiting.

42. Keep an eye out for mold, standing water and other symptoms of disrepair.

43. Research schools. This is important whether or not you have school-aged children. Schools affect property values.

Making an Offer

44. Base your offer on evidence, not emotion. Remember, the lender will appraise the home later on. If it appraises for less than you've agreed to pay, you'll have problems.

45. Use your agent's experience. It might be your first offer, but your agent has probably seen dozens.

46. Discuss contingencies. Will your offer be contingent upon something, like the sale of your current home?

47. Prepare for all possible responses. What will you do if the seller makes a counteroffer or rejects your offer outright? Conduct "rehearsals" for each scenario.

48. Move quickly (but cautiously) in seller's market. Delays can cause a home to slip through your fingers.

49. Plan the closing date. This will normally be agreed upon during the offer process.

Choosing a Mortgage

50. Study the different types of mortgages, especially the pros and cons of each.

51. Consider your staying time. How long you plan to stay in a home will often determine which type of home loan is best for you.

52. Learn about new mortgage packages. A variety of "creative financing" loans have emerged in recent years. Learn about them.

53. Shop for the best interest rate. Mortgage lenders will offer different rates based on how comfortable they are lending to you. So shop around.

54. Read up on RESPA. The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act protects you from unethical lenders. Familiarize yourself with it.

55. Consider paying points. A point is one percent of the loan amount. Paying points can lower your interest rate. Look into whether or not it's a good idea for your situation.

56. Don't go it alone. Ask your agent for advice. Talk to friends and family who've been through the home buying / mortgage process before.

57. Factor in PMI. If your down payment is less than 20% of the loan amount, you'll probably have to pay private mortgage insurance (PMI).

58. Visit the mortgage section of HomeBuyingInstitute.com. You can learn about everything mentioned above, in much greater detail.

59. Watch out for unethical lenders. Talk to your agent or real estate attorney is something seems strange or too good to be true.

The Mortgage Application

60. Be honest. Don't let anyone talk you into falsifying information on your mortgage application. You'll be the only one held accountable.

61. Ask questions. And ask them again, until you're comfortable that you understand each part of the application.

62. Read the fine print. Often, the most important parts of an application are in the fine print. Don't let these details go unnoticed.

63. Don't sign blank areas. If a section of the mortgage application is blank, either 'X' it out or leave it unsigned.

64. Keep a copy for yourself. This applies to all documents during the home buying process. Start a folder with copies of everything.

65. Get a truth-in-lending statement. After you apply for the loan, the lender is required to give you an estimate of the total costs associated with the loan.

66. Plan for more than truth-in-lending statement. Unfortunately, it's common for the actual costs of a loan to be more than the lender's estimate. So plan for more.

The Home Inspection

67. Get a home inspection! At around $500, it's a small price to pay for peace of mind.

68. Hire a certified inspector. Anyone can claim to be an inspector. So make sure yours is certified by a professional organization.

69. Tag along if possible. You'll learn a lot about the inner workings of the home.

70. Categorize discrepancies, based on whether or not you want the seller to fix them.

71. Be realistic with repair requests. In a seller's market, you may not get all the repairs you want. So be realistic with what you're asking.

72. Get a termite inspection. Make the offer contingent upon a termite-free inspection.

The Home Appraisal

73. Understand the appraisal process. It's for the lender's protection, but it will also tell you if you're overpaying for the home.

74. Have a plan for under-appraisal. You can pay the difference, the seller can lower the price, or you can walk.

Pre-Closing / Pre-Settlement

75. Read up on closing procedures. Start with a refresher on RESPA.

76. Talk to friends and family who've been through a closing process. Learn from them.

77. Stay in touch with your lender, your agent, and the escrow company. Make sure they have all the paperwork they need to avoid delays.

78. Keep saving your money. Real estate closings often come with unexpected costs.

79. Be on the lookout for your HUD-1 statement. You should get one several days before closing. It will list the total amount due at closing.

80. Transfer utilities. Now might be a good time to start putting the utilities into your name.

81. Get hazard insurance. Most lenders require it, but it's mainly for your own protection.

82. Conduct your final walk-through. Make sure all requested repairs have been made.

83. Get a certified check for the amount due on the HUD-1 statement.

84. Confirm the time and location of the closing.

The Closing / Settlement Process

85. Bring your ID. The escrow company will probably want to verify it.

86. Don't forget the check!

87. Bring some blank checks, just in case unexpected costs or fees arise.

88. Don't feel rushed. Escrow companies do it for a living, but it's probably you're first time.

89. Read thoroughly. People make mistakes, so read each document carefully (especially the bottom-line amounts).

90. Ask questions. You're not being a pest for asking a lot of questions. You're simply looking out for your finances.

91. Don't make assumptions. For example, just because you agreed to buy mortgage points for a lower interest rate, don't assume it has been processed that way. Check the paperwork.

After Closing

92. Follow-up on your utility transfer.

93. Complete a change of address form for the postal service.

94. Notify friends and family of your new address. Postcards and emails work well.

95. Get a safe deposit box for your important documents, like your homeowner's insurance policy.

96. Set up auto-pay for your mortgage payments. It will be one less hassle to worry about each month, and it will also help you avoid missing payments.

97. Go meet the neighbors. If your neighbors don't come and introduce themselves, go say hello. Remember, these are the people who will keep an eye on your home when you're away.

98. Ease into your mortgage payment. Before filling the house with new furniture or electronics, give yourself a few months to adjust to the new mortgage payment.

99. Do the happy dance (whatever your version might be). Just remember to stretch first.

100. Break out the champagne, or your preferred non-alcoholic beverage.

101. Exhale.

Coffee Makers Buying Tips

You just moved into a new house. You decided to replace that old small drip coffee maker you had for years. You love to drink coffee and you are just an average coffee lover who is not really into the world of coffee. It has been so long since you bought a small drip coffee maker and there are so many types out there in the market. Upon entering an electrical store, you are confused by the vast array of small drip coffee makers available on the shelves. You just cannot decide on which to get.

Does the scenario sounds familiar to you? There are quite a number of people out there who loves coffee but just not really into the subject on coffee. This means that these people just want to drink coffee and are not that much concerned on how a particular coffee maker can impact on the coffee brewed by it. They simply want a brew a decent pot of coffee at anytime of the day.

To those who are buying small drip coffee makers, here are a few down-to-earth tips that may help you in deciding which type to buy:

The first thing you may want to do, is to plan on your budget.
Think about how much you are willing to spend and come up with a range of price that you are comfortable with. You have to keep in mind about this basic rule in electrical appliances: the more expensive it is, the more functions it has. In some cases, these functions provide very useful purposes.

Secondly, you have to determine how many cups required.
Small drip coffee makers can brew from 1 to 4 cups of coffee. This is easily decided based on how many coffee drinkers in your household. Do not forget to take guests into consideration too.

Thirdly, you may also want to think about the color and design.
You may want to consider this factor as well if you are particular about matching with the color of your kitchen or any room interior in your house. You can also decide the favorite color of your choice, for example, black. Color is specially important if you are getting it as a gift for a friend or relative.

The design of the small drip coffee maker is also very important because some of them do not suit in some kitchens or rooms due to a number of factors like space. You may want to confirm this before buying by ensuring enough space for storage and operation. On top of this, make sure that you are comfortable with the hardware design of the small drip coffee maker itself. Different models have different hardware designs. Some have filter compartments either the slide out type or the swing door type.

Fourthly, the pot warmer function.
Everyone loves a hot cup of coffee so this is the essential function to look out for. Pot warming function is related to the "Determine how many cups required" factor discussed in (2). Why? In the case if more coffee is brewed than necessary, the remaining coffee can be kept warm for later consumption. Although it is rarely seen nowadays at time of writing, there can still be some small drip coffee makers with no pot warmer function.

Fifthly, the Auto Shut Off function a must feature for small drip coffee makers.
Like the pot warmer function, there are still a minority of them without auto shut off function. Auto shut off is a must for safety reasons. At times, you may have forgotten to switch off the small drip coffee maker after use, which may lead to shattering of coffee pot or even fire.

Not to forget, the small drip coffee maker must be of easy maintenance.
This is also essential because you would want your small drip coffee maker to be clean and maintained for use for a long time. This includes parts that can be dismantled for washing and easy to clean surfaces.

Next, ensure easy replacement of parts.
Worn out filters? Accidental breakage of coffee pot? More breakages? It is better to check out whether these parts are available and easily replaced. There is no point getting a small drip coffee maker that has parts so rare you cannot find them in your nearest dealer or you have to go through great lengths to get them.

Additional functions which may be useful and handy to you.
As mentioned in point (1) of these series of tips, some of the higher end models have additional functions that may or may not be useful to you. Some of the examples of these functions are:

i) Programmability, where you can set a stipulated time for the small drip coffee maker to brew coffee.

ii) Aroma adjustments, where you can choose the strength of your brewed coffee.

iii) Coffee pods compatible, where brewing coffee can be easy and convenient without much mess at all.

iv) Anti-drip, where it enables you to take out the coffee pot to pour coffee before the end of a brewing cycle.

The above mentioned are just some of the added functions on top of your average small drip coffee maker. There can be more interesting and useful functions available in other models but all these increases the price of the coffee maker. You should check out with the salesperson in your local electrical store for more details.

After considering the above eight factors, you should head out there to do a little homework before deciding on which small drip coffee maker to buy. You should inquire more with the salesperson and clear any doubts you may have. With all these, comparisons must be done if necessary and to consider what is really needed for you; not just because it has the latest function and after buying it home, you find that you hardly make full use of this particular function and you feel that your money spent is wasted.

To conclude, the tips in this article serves as a guide to an everyday coffee drinker or lover who wants to buy a new small drip coffee maker. These are more on the practical side and may help you in knowing what you want, what to expect and what to look out for without the expense of spending unnecessary money, wasting precious time and energy.

How Wholesale Merchandise Buying Tips Help

There are a lot of alternatives to choose if you want to do business, whether it online or at flea markets, and so on. Wholesalers, distributors, and manufacturers are scattered extensively but there are still others that are reputable to do business with, as they provide retailers with better prices and wider selections. The trickiest challenge to retail business owners is to obtain the right prices for the high-quality wholesale merchandise that would attract customers and help you gain profits.

The following are tips and tricks that will be useful to search for the best prices and good quality products related to wholesaling which is now popular among business owners.

Buying bulk is much more profitable most especially if you want to have more savings when purchasing your merchandise. Wholesalers have the capability to obtain big shares of merchandise directly from the manufacturer since they have the appropriate storage warehouses for these bulk goods. Few wholesalers provide a minimum order amount but do not oblige their customers to purchase the bulk merchandise themselves. As a retailer/customer, you could always ask for discounts since the bigger your purchase the bigger the discount you get. They would definitely be grateful to give discounts for customers that place big orders since wholesalers need to dispose of their bulk goods for replacement of new merchandise.

Tips on Buying a Bayliner Storage-Trailer Cover

One of the most common styles of boat cover is the Storage/Trailer Boat Cover. This type of cover is designed to cover the boat completely from bow to stern. You can obtain a semi-custom fit boat cover from your local Chandlery or one of the many marine stores found online.

Here is valuable information on boat covers to help you in choosing the right canvas for your boat.
This style of cover is great for trailering your boat or using it as a boat storage cover. They usually come with with a braided rope sewn into the hem which you can draw tight when installing to your boat. You will find Tie-down loops sewn every 2-3 feet so you can strap it to your trailer. These covers are manufactured using marine polyester. Polyester is a very good fabric for boat covers as it doesn't shrink. Most Chandlery's have an upgraded boat cover in Sunbrella acrylic. Sunbrella is the "premier fabric" when it comes to boat canvas applications.

Options for your boat cover:

Tie-down kits are available. Nylon straps with quick-release buckles. Unlike bungee cords these straps will not stretch, so they won't tear your cover or damage your boat.
Adjustable support poles are available. A durable plastic knob allows for easy adjustment of the height.

Advantages of choosing a storage/trailer Boat Cover are:
If you purchase one from a local Chandlery or an online boat store they are generally much cheaper than having one custom made. You provide the year, make and model of your Bayliner boat as well as measurements for the beam width and the length of your boat
you can usually get a semi-custom made cover that is very suitable for your boat. The storage/trailer Boat Cover is an excellent designed boat cover for trailering and using to cover your boat while in storage.

Disadvantages of choosing a storage/trailer Boat Cover are:
They are not designed very well for covering your boat when in the the water. Because they draw string for tension, the cover may shift during a rain storm which makes it very hard to shed water even if you are using support poles. Once the cover shifts, the poles move and eventually falling down allowing water to fill into boat and possibly ripping your cover. Whether you have older Bayliner Capri or a new Bayliner series boat, you can usually find a storage/trailer boat cover to fit your boat.

Prefabricated Shower Stalls - Tips For Installing

Installing a prefabricated shower stall often turns out to be a tricky and time-consuming job that takes great practical skill, yet with sensible pre-planning and the right tools for the job, a professional result can be obtained by the average home-handyman. Allow 3-4 days to complete the work and brush up on your carpentry, plumbing, wall-preparation and finishing skills because you're going to need them all!

To begin with, make sure you have the right equipment and tools before you begin the job. Importantly, purchase the shower stall before building the frame it will fit in in order to get accurate dimensions.

You will need: a prefabricated shower, electric drill, plumb level, tape measure, caulk, screws, hole saw, shower/tub adhesive, tape, pencil, leather work gloves, hammer, work boots and an adjustable wrench. Protective eye-wear is also highly advisable (wear when using power tools.)

Getting the prefab shower into position can be the tricky part. You will need to fit it through an existing doorway or an outside window. In some instances, part of an exterior wall may have to be removed in order to get the unit inside; seek professional advice first if required.

Because prefabricated shower stalls have watertight walls, cement-based backer boards are not needed.

It is advisable to install insulation between the studs in order to reduce plumbing noise.

When drilling holes in the unit's walls to fit the faucet and shower arm, measure carefully in advance and always wear protective eye-wear when drilling.

Position parts carefully and attach the unit to the framing. The drain piece, shower handle, escutcheon, and shower-head all need to be fitted correctly to prevent leakages and future problems. All seams need to be caulked efficiently and a thorough checking of any leaks needs careful attention; later corrections to any plumbing faults can be difficult to carry out.

Finally, finish the walls and fit a shower door or curtain bar. It is vital that you seal the joints between the bathroom walls and floor and shower enclosure with a good quality silicone! Installing water-resistant drywall around the top edge of the shower stall can be a wise, long-term investment; tiling the top edge is also a great idea as it will likely last a lot longer than wallpaper or paintwork.

If you aren't adept in skills like demolition, plumbing and drywalling, you may be best served by employing a qualified professional to carry out these tasks.

As a final reminder, installing prefabricated shower stalls can be quite fiddly and time-consuming. The plumbing especially has to be completed with some expertise in order to have a sound unit. Yet having said all this, a successful shower installation is achievable if you take your time, check well for any leaks and consult an expert for advice if the need arises.

Good luck!

Projector Buying Tips: The Best Projector Shopping Guide

Technology has always been known to make peoples lives better. In fact, some surveys said that 8 out of 10 people who were interviewed showed significant representation of people who were relieved to have the best technology in their lives.

One of the primary reasons why technology is deemed as lifes enhancers is because it can unleash the limits set upon the rigidity of previous inventions.

This goes to show that with the new trend of technology, people can expect a better life because it provides a hundred and one ways of making the impossible doable.

Take for example the case of projectors. Before, projectors are known to be used in movie theaters and during business presentations or seminars.

But with the continuous technological advancement and development, projectors are now known to be used even at home. This is especially true to those who want to create a home-based theater of their own.

Technically speaking, projectors work in a way that the visual aspects that are limited on the tube of a television are directly converted into a bigger screen. This is where the graphics and images are unleashed on a bigger view and where space is no longer constrained in a tube.

However, not all projectors are created equal. Therefore, projectors may vary from one model to another. So the only way to get the best item is to know how to effectively buy a good one.

Here is a list of some tips that consumers may use when buying projectors.

1. Know the available type

Basically, there are only tow types of video projectors: the LCP, or the liquid crystal projection, and the tubed. Both of them can function well as far as projection is concerned.

Also, these two kinds of projectors are unique on each sense of functionality that may influence the presentation and setting up of the item.

Each has its own advantages and disadvantages as well. So it is best to do some research regarding this matter so you would only get the best kind of projector.

2. Decide on the magnitude and weight of the projector

There are three available categories of projectors. These are the conference room projectors, ultralights, and the fixed installation projectors.

Each category has its own purpose. So it is better to know the main purpose of using the projector so that you will be able to decide on what weight and size should be bought.

3. The price

As mentioned, not all projectors are created equal, that is why, they may be priced according to the level of their functionality and the way they were manufactured.

Generally, projectors re priced between $1,300 and $9,000. Though, 75% of the available projectors in the market today greatly fall under the $3,500 to $20,000 price range.

The main factors that influence the way projectors are priced are brightness and resolution. Hence, the higher the resolution and the brighter the projector can display images, the higher the price.

4. Consider your needs

When buying projectors, it really pays when the buyer knows what he needs before going to the store. This will make the buying process a lot easier and faster, avoiding the perils of motivations made by persistent salespeople.

The bottom line is that the quality of images that people should expect is reflected upon how they buy items like this. Hence, it is important to always have the initiative to research on the things that bring about the main concept of projectors.

Signs of Problems When Buying a House

When buying a home, some people put more importance on the color of the walls than the condition of the roof. Paint color is an easy thing to change, but replacing a roof is a costly undertaking. Always hire a trained home inspector before you finally purchase a home, but use these tips as a guideline to help you weed out some of the potentially serious problems during the first walk-through.

Moisture: One of the sure signs of an over accumulation of moisture is a musty smell. If it has gotten to that stage, then mold may be a serious issue. Pay attention to strong scents of air fresheners that may be used to cover up an existing problem. Look for signs of water damage on wood flooring, inside cupboards, around toilets, appliances, or the loosening of grout in ceramic tile (often caused by a wet sub-floor). Watch for white powdery stains on basement floors, indicative of water seeping through the concrete.

Bathroom: Turn on the shower, if the water pressure is very low it could be a sign of leaky pipes. Also, give a little tug on the soap dish; if it's loose it could be a sign of rotting behind the ceramic tile.

Floors: Check the condition of the hardwood floors. Do they feel tight? Do the floors have a springing or sagging sensation when walked on, or are there cracks in any of the concrete floors or foundation? This could indicate structural problems.

Doors & Windows: Check to see that the doors and windows open and close easily, if not, it could be a sign of settling problems. Also check for wood rot along the sills.

Electrical: Look for an excess of extension cords being used, this could be a sign of electrical problems.

Furnace: Find out when the furnace was last serviced. If the seller is reluctant to give up this information, it's not a good sign.

Maintenance: The overall appearance of the home will give you a good idea as to how well the seller has maintained the property over the years.

Roof: Take a quick look to see if shingles are curling or shrinking, or if the roof is bulging. On the inside of the house dampness in the ceiling can be a sign of a leaky roof. Glance at the soffits for wood rot or nesting squirrels.

Drainage: Look at the condition of the gutters or if there is any sign of water build up around the foundation.

Siding or Brick: Take note of the overall condition of the siding or brick, checking for mold or wear..

Deck: Look for any sagging or uneven flooring that may suggest structural problems or rotting in the main beams.

Tips For Buying A Used Car

Buying a used car can be a rather affordable solution to buying a brand new car. Used cars, even at only one model year old, can be 20-30% cheaper than buying the same car brand new. Used car shoppers can find easy deals with the high number of cars being leased. These cars are usually in very good condition and have a low number of miles on them. Used cars also have lower insurance rates and buying a used car means you can afford a car that has more luxury/performance than you might usually be able to afford.

The reasons that many people think they should avoid used cars have actually changed. Used cars are generally move reliable these days than they have been in the past and the history of accidents cars have been involved in can easily be traced by the VIN number. Most car makers are now selling cars that include factory warranties. One of the best things you can do on any used car is to get a history of the accidents a car has been involved in by using the VIN number to run a Carfax report that will tell you the history of the car.

Also, if you are dealing with a third party it might be a wise idea to take the vehicle to an independent mechanic for an inspection. That way you can know what is truly the condition on the car. Dealerships will not let you do this, for the reason that they have checked the car themselves. When buying a car via classified ads or eBay call the phone number and say you are interested in the car. You will know instantly whether you are dealing with a private seller or a trader pretending to be a private seller. Always examine the speedometer and odometer area. Look for scratches, chips or other damage that would indicate that the odometer has been tampered with. It is getting harder to do these days, but it is still possible to turn back the car's odometer.

If you see the price on a car is $5,999, try showing up to the dealer's lot with $500-$1000 less and see if they take it. If the dealer really wants to push this car off the lot, which most do, they will accept your offer and you will walk away with a great price on your new car. You should also run a report on your car with Experian, yes, and the credit report people. They also keep detailed records of cars and also get a copy of your title. It will show you the mileage, if the odometer says otherwise, then someone possibly tampered with it. Always use due diligence when buying a used car, no matter if from private citizen or a car dealership, always suspect something is suspicious. That way, you can keep yourself safe when buying a used car and have a good car to drive for many years to come.

5 Tips for Successful Bird Watching

#1. Get to Where the Birds Are! This sounds obvious, but many birders spend the majority of their bird watching time and energy on poor locations. Some folk have the advantage of looking out of their windows into the back yard to observe natures best. The rest of us need to get moving. I would highly recommend visiting a National Wildlife Refuge. There are over 500 of them across the United States. To find one near you, visit http://refuges.fws.gov/

#2. Know What Species to Expect. There are approximately 900 species of birds in the United States and recognizing each of them is nearly impossible. So when you visit an area, do a little research first. You may find that perhaps only a few species actually inhabit that particular area. With a little preparation, you will be able to more readily identify bird species from each other. Keep a list of successfully viewed species well call this tip number two and a half.

#3. Get a Great Pair of Binoculars. Spending time and money to get to the right place can be totally wasted when your binoculars are inadequate. If you have an inexpensive pair of binoculars you are not getting the most out of your viewing. Todays technologies come at a price and they provide crucial benefits in wildlife viewing. For instance, image stabilization will keep your view from shaking-very important when watching from a long distance. Other cool features include anti-fogging, low-light viewing and wide-view characteristics. Additionally, binoculars with built-in digital cameras enable you to identify birds once you get home. These benefits will definitely enhance your bird watching. A great pair of binoculars will turn a mediocre experience into a great one. You can count on it!

#4. Practice Before You Go. A key to viewing wildlife, and especially birds, is to have the ability to very quickly put your binoculars on target. Many people have difficulty finding a full moon in a pair of binoculars-but alas-learning to focus on a bird in a bush or track a bird in flight is easy for someone who has practiced prior to their outing. Try this before you go; lower your binoculars to your side and very quickly raise them to find and follow a jet airliner across the sky. After only a few attempts, youll get good at quickly acquiring your target. Quite often, birds are visible for only a few seconds, practice to become proficient.

#5. Take Someone with You. Life is always better when shared. Not only do you get to spend time out of doors with someone you like, but they might alert you to the Number One Sight of the Day. Share your birding experiences with your friends and family. Pass the birding excitement to a child.

The best part about wildlife viewing is that you the viewer, control almost every aspect of the experience. The more you are prepared, the more rewarding your time in our backcountry will be. Follow these 5 simple tips to get the most out of birding. Get Outdoors!

Tips to Help When Buying Replacement Windows

When is the Best Time of Year to Consider Buying Replacement Windows?

Buying replacement windows can be a big project. Here are some tips to get you started on the right track to a successful window replacement.

The best time of year to consider buying replacement windows is around spring or fall. Buying replacement windows and having them installed will leave your home open to the elements for a day or so. You want to avoid hot, cold and rainy times of the year if possible.

The first thing anyone should do is budget for the windows. This can become a big factor in your choice. Prices of windows vary greatly. Your budget may or may not allow you to get into higher design options. This is one of the most important tips.

You need to know which windows, if not all, have to be replaced. Look at the type of window and decide on whether you want to replace it with a new style or use a style just like your old ones. You'll need to evaluate how your original windows were installed as well as note any potential problems with tear-out and preparation for the new windows.

Buying Replacement Windows

Once you have a good understanding on what you need, call around and get estimates on the installation. If you are able to, it is possible to install the windows yourself and save money. But make sure you have enough and experience and expertise to be able to perform this project. An improper window installation can cause many problems.

If you need an installer after buying replacement windows, make sure to go over your different options with them. Make sure they understand what results you want from your new windows. Before choosing a contractor you should get several bids and compare them. Getting a guarantee and signing a contract is important when buying replacement windows and hiring an installer.

Another important aspect of hiring someone to do a remodeling job is the need to feel comfortable around him or her. Whoever you choose will be working on your home, and you'll want to feel at ease about letting them work. If you are not sure about any given contractor's credibility, ask them for references and have them checked out.

For further satisfaction do not pay for the job until the job is done right. A deposit may be necessary but try to keep it as low as possible.

Tips in Selling and Buying Property

Selling your home to buy new one is some how stressful and it is really a pressure that will burden your body in doing two things at the same time. You are not like superman that can do almost everything, we all know that we all have kryptonite that weakens us to do some things and no matter how you try it will really give us hard time to do it.

In a real estate world, buying is somewhat much easier than selling. Admit or not convincing people is really hard and on the other way you may give a person hard time to convince you buying their property. If you are selling your home at Miami real estate market and at the same time buying a home for your family using the money you have upon selling the home, this might give you long time to accomplish two tasks.

You need someone to assist you in doing this tasks, you might have call a help to your super friends and help you out with your problem. In a real estate business there are people who can help you out selling and buying a home. A real estate agent is what you need to accomplish these tasks. They do have experience in selling and buying home.

They can teach you different strategies on how to sell your home and help you out to look for a home that you can buy and have a great deal.

In selling your Miami real estate property, you need to let people that you are selling your home. You need some advertising strategies to let people in different places that you are selling your property. A big house for sale in front of your home is a good start; this will inform passers by to know that your property is for sale. Don't forget to include you contact details in the poster so that they can have an idea who and where to inquire.

In buying it is better to go to different market that has a lot of house for sale. If a place do have a lot of house for sale, chances are deals are good enough because competition is present on the market. So they might offer lower rates and you can negotiate more with their price. If you have a lot of choices there are a lot of options for you and your family.

But of course you need to sell your property first before buying new one, so you need to focus first on selling your Miami real estate property rather than looking for a home to buy.

7 Top Tips For Buying A Property

1. Check the neighbouring properties: Is there a pub nearby? Closing time and sunny weekends may be noisy, busy and a general disturbance to your peace. It might not be just revellers or drinkers being rowdy on a Saturday night, but general noise such as the pub door banging shut, the delivery vans and the hubbub of a pub garden.

2. Check the road at rush hour and school-run time. Is it near traffic-lights? Will it effect your school-run or journey to work? How noisy is it? How safe is it for the children? Are there pavements?

3. Are there railway lines or tube lines nearby? Open tube lines can smell and railway lines can be noisy throughout the day and night.

4. Is it near a telephone mast? Telephone masts and possible related health scares are often in the news. Even if they are not a health-risk they are unpopular with residents and therefore whether or not you are concerned about them they could devalue a home if others are.

5. Is it near a school? Schools can be a blessing for some but a nuisance for others. Increased traffic, waiting parents and increased litter can be a bore especially if you are at home during the day.

6. What are the neighbours like? Knock on a few doors and ask about the neighbourhood. Do they like living there? Not only will you gather more information about the neighbourhood but also check on whether you will get along with them.

7. Return to your property at different times of the day and night on a number of days to check what is going on in the neighbourhood. Hopefully it will suit you but there is a small chance that you might discover something that you simply don't want.

Always remember when buying property it's the house AND the location that you need to consider for yourself and for resale.

To buy your new property go to http://www.wheresmyproperty.com - the UK Property Search Engine listing around 900,000 properties from 1000s of estate agents.

Tips For Buying an Existing Business

If you are interested in purchasing an existing business, you might be working with either a real estate agent or a business broker. Once you've decided on the business that you want to purchase and the purchase price, there are a number of factors to consider when it comes to drafting the Agreement of Purchase and Sale and completing the transaction. Keep in mind that the written Agreement of Purchase and Sale represents the entire agreement between the parties and anything that is important to the deal needs to be included in this Agreement.

Here are some things to keep in mind:

How are you allocating the purchase price?

Once you have agreed upon the price, you needto decide how the purchase price will be allocated. The purchase price is allocated to goodwill, equipment, and leasehold improvements (and, sometimes, the lease itself). The allocation of the purchase price is important because it allows you to allocate part of the price to items which can be depreciated quickly such as leasehold improvements or equipment. From a tax perspective, this can be advantageous. Usually, it is in the buyer's interests to allocate as much as possible of the purchase price to leasehold improvements. On the other hand, from the seller's perspective, it is preferable to allocate as much as possible to goodwill. Depending upon the type of business you are purchasing, it is advisable to speak with an accountant about the best way to allocate the purchase price in your Agreement.

Will the landlord consent to you assuming the lease?

For some businesses, the value of the business includes a favourable lease in a good location. If you are purchasing a business on leased premises, you will need to obtain the consent of the landlord prior to assuming the existing lease. This is usually included as a condition of the Agreement. The type of information that a landlord will want before agreeing to an assignment of a lease will vary but, at a minimum, they will want credit information and information about your experience running a business.

What should you look for in a lease?

The complexity of a lease will vary depending upon whether your business is located in a major shopping centre or a small commercial building. In reviewing a lease, pay attention to how many years are left on the lease prior to renewal, and whether there is a right of renewal. Ideally, what you want is a right to extend the lease, as opposed to an option to renew. An option to renew is only a right to negotiate a new lease, with new terms and provisions. It is more favourable to have a commitment that the lease can be extended upon the same terms and conditions as contained in the original lease. If the end of the term is coming up on the existing lease, it might be better to negotiate a new lease altogether.

Most leases are 'net' leases meaning that in addition to rent per square footage, you also pay to the landlord additional rent such as property taxes, and operating costs such as utilities, insurance, maintenance, repair & property management. You need to know the amount of these additional costs since you will be paying for them. Quantifying the additional rent will help you decide whether the lease is affordable based upon the type of business you will be operating at that location.

Employees

It is important to ascertain whether the business you are buying has any part time or full time employees. If so, you will become liable as a successor employer for obligations to these employees, including salary, vacation pay, unemployment insurance premiums and worker's compensation premiums. Because of these obligations, and the difficulty of determining the full extent of your obligations as a prospective purchaser, you may not want to retain any employees, and hire your own employees after the purchase transaction is completed. If you are buying a small business, it can be preferable to include a provision in the Agreement which requires the vendor to terminate all employees before closing.

GST

If you don't already have one, you will need to obtain a GST number for the closing. When you are purchasing all, or substantially all, of the assets of a business, you are entitled to make an election to defer payment of GST. This election can only be made if the buyer is a GST registrant.

Warranties

You need to have adequate warranties included in the Agreement of Purchase and Sale to ensure that the vendor has paid any GST and provincial sales taxes which are owing by the business, and that there are no other liabilities attaching to the business. It is always advisable to obtain a retail sales clearance certificate confirming that provincial sales taxes are up-do-date (although, if it is a short closing, some purchasers will opt to accept a written warranty that retail sales tax has been paid). You will also want warranties that all books and records produced during your due diligence period are accurate and fully disclose all financial matters.

Since a warranty is merely a legal promise by the vendor, it is always best to have an accountant review the financial records of the business before the Agreement is finalized.

Non-competition clauses

Often, purchasers will want to negotiate a covenant with the vendor limiting the vendor's ability to compete with them after closing in a similar business. If you are buying a bakery, you don't want the vendor opening up shop a few doors down after the closing. If the vendor will agree to a non-competition covenant on closing, this possibility is eliminated.

Non-competition covenants can be useful but, in order to be enforceable, they cannot be overly restrictive. It might be reasonable to restrict the vendor from opening up a similar business for 1 to 5 years following the closing, and for this restriction to operate within a radius of 1 to 5 kilometres surrounding the current business location, depending upon the type of business being sold.

7 Tips For Buying Action Figures

This short guide explains what you need to know before buying your action figures, where you should look for them, the best places to buy your figures, and how to decide who to trust if you're ordering online.

1) Know Your Subject

Make sure you know which figures were made, when they were made, how many, the rare or "chase" figures, and how much they originally sold for and their going price now.

Most of this information is available on the manufacturer's websites.

The best and quickest way to find out a figures "selling price" is by doing an advance search on eBay for completed auctions.

You will then be able to get a list of all auctions for that item that have finished within your chosen time period, how many bids they had and the price they sold for.

Please note though that there are several other factors to be taken into account here, e.g. the category they were listed in, the item description, quality and the "sales ad" or "copy".

Also eBay is very much a "buyers" market, meaning that the prices achieved for items are generally a lot lower than retail.

2) Popular Doesn't Always = Valuable

Many people are under the false impression that the more popular an action figure is then the more valuable it will be; however this is often NOT the case.

A prime example was the Moore Action Collectibles series 1 Buffy The Vampire Slayer Action figures which had six Buffy figures, three Angels, two Willows and only one Giles per case.

So which sold for the most?

Buffy right?

WRONG!

The Giles and Willow figures became the most sought after and began selling for anything up to $30 each!

And Buffy?

Well she was being "dumped" for a mere dollar!

Why?

Simple because of the old Supply vs Demand rule.

Remember there were 6 TIMES more Buffy figures than Giles.

The moral of this story:

Be Careful with what you're buying and know you're market.

3) What Should I Consider Before I Decide Where To Buy My Action Figures?

There are several different factors that will ultimately influence where you buy from and how much you will pay, so we'll look at these first then where to buy.

New or Secondhand?

Before you jump to decisions and decide on only buying new figures first think about what you are going to do with your action figure.

For example if you are going to customize it (more on customizing later) then you would be wasting your money buying a new figure.

Production Quantities:

Most mass produced figures will be readily available from your local high street stores such as Toys R Us, Wal-Mark, Woolworths, K-mart, EB, Gamestop etc.

Limited production figures on the other hand are generally sold in specialist stores such as Forbidden Planet and local comic book shops.

Quantities

As with most things the more you buy the greater your bargaining power and the better your chances of negotiating a bigger discount.

Rarity:

The rarity of the action figure you are looking for will not only influence where you buy it from but also the price you are likely to have to pay for it.

5) Where to Buy Your Action Figures From

There are many different places you can go to buy your action figures and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

• High Street Stores: You're first and best place for buying any mass produced action figures.

• Specialist Stores: Good for your "niche" market action figures, short production runs, and exclusives. Generally more expensive but you will usually get better and more individual service.

• Car Boot & Garage Sales: Excellent places for finding bargains but generally any action figures found here are likely to be in poor condition, but great for spare parts, accessories or loose figure to use for customizing.

• Online Shops/Stores: Excellent value and generally good service and most items can be pre-ordered. However shipping cost can be prohibitive and you need to choose your supplier carefully.

• Collectors Fairs and Comic Cons: An excellent place to find any exclusives or action figures missing from your collection and to find out the latest news and gossip.

• Magazines and Newspapers: Make sure you check the classified section regularly, you'll be surprised by what you can pick up at bargain prices.

• Government Auctions/Local Auctions: These are held regularly to sell off any goods seized by customs, VAT Inspectors or bankruptcy. There are many bargains to be found at local and government auctions as they are generally not advertized and few people know about them

• Online Auctions:

Dealing with online stores or auction sites brings its own unique set of problems and dangers and can be a minefield BUT they can also be a very good resources.

6) Who Do You Trust?

The biggest problem with buying your action figures online is finding an honest, reliable, and efficient trader with excellent service and reasonable prices without the extortionate shipping prices.

Below are the steps that I usually take when I'm looking for a new supplier.

• Google search the item

• Look at the top ten sites listed

• Check the prices, don't forget to include shipping and bulk discounts.

• Send an e-mail enquiry, if they take more than a day or two to answer then reconsider using them.

• Google the site name: check reputation

• Short list the top three and make a "trial" order from your top choice.

Follow these simple steps and you should find a trustworthy and reputable dealer to order from without running the risk of loosing your money.

7) A More Few Tips and Hints

The biggest scam on the internet currently is phishing or identity theft. NEVER EVER EVER give out any passwords, id's, bank details etc by email.

Always go to the companies or banks website through your browser, i.e. Explorer, Safari, Firefox or Opera etc.

Google Alert- this is an excellent tool and highly recommended. Let's say you are looking for a Rock WWF(E) wrestling figure. All you need to do is add an alert for The Rock, or The Rock WWF and whenever this is used on a forum or website (or eBay listing) Google will email you with a link to the site or auction concerned!

Register on any relevant forums or newsgroups, these are great sources for finding figures either for trade or sale, often in mint condition.

Benefits of Buying Dancewear Online

Dancing, like many creative gifts, is an inborn talent. Usually, you will see this ability very early on in a person's life. I know of a young woman whose daughter showed a proclivity towards dance at the tender young age of three. Whenever a song played or music was turned on, the child would get up and move with amazing skill. Not batting an eye, my friend rushed out to purchase dance wear for her daughter, encouraging the talent. The young lady eventually enrolled in a prestigious performing art school, where she aspired to become a choreographer.

This all happened before the prevalence of Internet boutiques and e-commerce however and it was a struggle for my friend to locate shops in her area that had the latest dancewear available. When she did manage to find them, she would have to drive well out of her way to fetch the items in question. Thankfully, with the advent of the Internet, things have become a bit easier in that realm, as one can find several dance related stores online that boast a miscellaneous assortment of merchandise. There are numerous benefits to buying dancewear online, top among them being the fact that you can find a store that is a one-stop shop. Such a store may carry children's and adult dance attire as well as ballet shoes, tutus and even hip hop style digs and accessories for live shows and video performances.

Another benefit is that Internet companies have to be especially savvy and customer friendly, so you will find the best steals and deals when shopping for dance wear. Smart companies will want your repeat business, so they often make sure that they give you top notch merchandise and quality customer service. This makes the online shopping experience relatively pain free, especially since websites are becoming more user friendly and easier to navigate. Shopping online is also extremely convenient. Any time of the day or night, dance enthusiasts can find what they need and order it, opting for second day delivery if they have to have the item in a hurry.

Also, you won't have to waste fuel as you run around town attempting to find a particular product. When shopping online, everything is right there, literally at your fingertips. The only caveat to online shopping for dance wear is to be mindful of the existence of encrypted security certificates. Known as a SSL certificate, all reputable Internet businesses should have them on their site, as they are used to protect sensitive credit card information. By clicking on the SSL icon at the bottom of the webpage, you can see if the shop SSL certificate is up to date. If it isn't, proceed with caution, or better yet, find a different store. Better safe than sorry.

Far from being the bane of man's existence, technological advances like the Internet and online shopping are helpful to those of us with hectic lifestyles. For individuals who dance to the beat of a different drummer, this blessing allows them to give more time to their creative pursuits, which in turn, benefits us all.
