Choosing a Modern Clock For Your Home
By : Harwood E Woodpecker
A clock is a modern day necessity, at work we clock watch, we need to get to work on time and at weekends we live by the clock cherishing every moment with our families and away from the work place.
In days of old a clock was very much a status symbol. The old rather large grandfather clock that used to stand hall ways and reception rooms of grand stately homes for all guests to see upon their arrival was very much an item to show off ones wealth and stature in society.
Today's modern clocks are very differently perceived than the masterful pieces from Victorian times.
So what should you look for if you want a modern clock that will say something about you and your lifestyle and not just blend into the background like so many of the mass produced generically bland modern clocks that are designed and sold today.
It is still possible to break away from the mass produced modern clock and find a clock that although might not be a modern masterpiece might smash the mould and offer up something a little more special and not so homogenised.
Modern clocks of repute are usually made by designers in small "one man band" workshops up and down the country and sold more as pieces of art than timepieces.
By buying one of these modern clocks you can be pretty sure that you won't find one like it in your neighbour's house, and in reality you shouldn't break the bank buying one.
Much of the value in a modern clock comes from its unique and genuine appearance, not from the materials that it has been manufactured from. The small workshops that produce these modern clocks work very much on one piece at a time so each piece is totally individual.
Some beautifully crafted clocks are made by these small scale artisans, modern clocks with a brushed nickel note swinging pendulum mimics the back panel with its asymmetrical condition. A rectangular pendulum finished in fleecy nickel complements the dial, a true treat for those who quest a more updated outlook on time keeping.
These modern style clocks exude a contrasting decorative wooden back panel, with napped nickel finished bezel and grid pendulum and offer a touch of elegant beauty to the home.
The positioning of a modern clock is as all important as the positioning of the grandfather clocks of old. You should try to position your modern clock where it will receive maximum exposure and where you can maximise it's beauty against that of it's surroundings.
Always take into consideration the decoration of the room and wall where the modern clock is to go, the clock should be the centre piece of the wall leaving the decoration very much in the background.
Try not to be with the decoration in the area where the modern clock is to sit and try to keep the colours in the room as plain as possible to gain the full impact from the features of the clock.
In a larger room why not hang a mirror on an opposite wall to get twice the impact room the modern clock?
The secret is to be modern in your approach on how to best site a modern wall clock, think it's siting through carefully and you will have people adoring your modern clock for many years to come.

Tips For Beautiful Landscaping

The loveliness of flowering plants needs little embellishment by description. Certainly every gardener seeks the beauty and color that can be brought to his grounds by a variety of flowers. The proper arrangement of flower beds in your garden and attentive care to them can insure you a continuing bloom of lovely flowers year after year. Consideration of the soil requirements for flowers and the proper use of annuals, biennials, and perennials are all discussed below.
Soil Requirements
Preparing the soil for flower beds or borders requires greater care than planting a lawn. For one thing, digging must be deeper. It is not too much to dig the bed 2 feet deep, although 1 1/2 feet is suitable. It is, of course, possible to grow flowers in a shallower bed than this, but the deeper you dig, the better your production will be.
Good loam should be used for the topsoil, e.g., well-rotted manure, humus, peat moss, well-sifted leaf mold or heavy sand. Wood ashes are fine for spring, and lime may be used for loosening the soil. You might think about the character of your soil and consider the particular fertilizer which contains the elements your soil needs most. Should you use manure, be careful not to let it touch the roots of plants.
Annuals
An annual, from the point of view of the amateur gardener, is any plant which must be replaced each year and which flowers only once in its life. Annuals generally are grown from seed. The chief advantage of annuals over perennials is their low cost. Thousands of plants can be grown from a single packet of seeds.
Annuals are also very decorative, and provide the best source of flowers for cutting. Their season of bloom is relatively long, as well. Their chief disadvantage is the late date at which they bloom. If annuals are used alone in a bed or border, a good part of the season will pass with little to show in the way of color.
Biennials
Biennials are generally very beautiful plants, with most attractive flowers. They are somewhat more trouble for the gardener, since they keep growing during their first year and do not bloom until the second. Their great advantage is that their seeding stage produces new plants which will bloom again two years later, making it unnecessary to plant additional seeds.
The biennials are usually planted in early summer and transplanted to good soil when they are large enough to handle. It is a good idea to pot them at this time, particularly in areas where plants cannot be left outdoors all winter. In some cases, they can be transplanted to a coldframe, and then placed in the flower bed the following spring.
Perennials
Perennials are the basic flowers of any garden. Each year they die and renew themselves for the next growing season. They are long-lived and last for many seasons.
Perennials are also, historically, among our oldest plants. They have been cultivated for centuries and often, as a result of breeding and crossbreeding, bear no resemblance to their wild forebears. In some of the perennials, the blossoms have become so specialized through centuries of cultivation that they no longer grow seeds.
Other perennials are continually being developed by amateur botanists and gardeners. As a result of this cultivation and inbreeding, perennials as a rule are not as hardy as other varieties. Another disadvantage is the tendency of certain perennials to die down after flowering, thereby leaving gaps in the garden.
There are a number of ways to solve the problems of short-flowering periods and the resultant unsightly spaces. One way is to intersperse perennials with annuals and other bulbs and flowering plants whose bloom occurs either later or earlier than that of the perennials.
Some perennials are easy to transplant: chrysanthemums, for example, can be moved from one place to another with no noticeable effect on their vigor. This is another way to keep color and bloom throughout the growing season.
With the above tips, you can have a truly beautiful garden all year round. Happy gardening!

Candle Making Supplies, Candle Wax
By : Jennifer Jensen
Candles are the simplest way to turn a house into a home. They also make great gifts. Rather than buying your next set of candles, why not make them? It's easier than you think.
(Please note, some web sites and candle companies offer starter kits that include all of the supplies listed below.)
To begin, melt wax at 200 degrees Fahrenheit in a double boiler. Stir the wax while it is heating. Add color and/or fragrance if you'd like. Add two teaspoons of translucent crystals per one pound of melted wax, if you want the candle to be slightly translucent. Remember, since this is your candle, you can change these steps as you wish.
Tie wick to a metal rod or a pencil lying on top of the mold. The wick should be long enough to reach the bottom of the candle. Thread the wick through the mold, pulling it through the hole in the bottom of the mold (this will be the top of the candle, so make the wick long). Make sure the wick is taut the entire time. A mold sealer will assist with this.
Once the wax and the crystals are melted, pour wax into the mold you desire (round, square, heart). Note: before pouring the wax into the mold, a small amount of vegetable oil on the mold walls will help with removal. Next, tap the sides of the mold to release air bubbles from the wax. Lower the mold into cool (not ice cold) water.
Leave the mold in the water for about six minutes. Takeout the insert and make sure the wick doesn't fall into the wax. Remove the mold from the water and leave it at room temperature for at least two hours (placing it in the refrigerator will speed the process). Once the wax is completely cooled, slide the wax out from the mold. Refill wax around the wick if needed and let it cool.
These steps can be altered by using different colors, fragrances, and molds. Follow the same steps if you'd like to fill a glass container (jar, martini glass) or a pottery piece (coffee mug, bowl) to make a candle.
Candles make creative gifts, especially when you make them on your own. Customize them for friends and family by using their favorite colors, scents, and containers. Consider mixing flowers or shells into the wax for a more personal touch.
