Tips For Choosing Your Wedding Rings

Filed under: Marriage — wood_rings @ 7:26 pm

Michelle Davis asked:


When you are planning a wedding, wedding rings are one important decision that you will have to make. When choosing the rings, remember that these are the rings you will wear for the rest of your life, so you want them to be perfect for you and your spouse. Take the time to consider your choices and find rings that symbolize your love for each other in the years to come.

Find a Quality Jeweler

When you are choosing your wedding rings you need to make sure that you choose a jeweler that has quality rings. Many people make the mistake of going to a local jewelry store in a mall. If you are lucky you might find enough variety. But these types of stores usually carry a small selection of rings. It is in your best interest to find a jeweler that specializes in wedding rings so you can be sure to have various styles and materials to choose from when picking out your rings.

Complement the Engagement Ring

When choosing wedding rings, you will want a ring for the bride that will complement the engagement ring she is already wearing. Be sure the wedding ring is not so elaborate that it detracts from the beauty of the engagement ring. While you can buy engagement rings and wedding rings in matched sets, this is not always possible. Try on different wedding bands and sit them next to your engagement ring to see how they look together.

Choose a Durable Metal

The metals that are most often used for wedding rings are silver, white gold, yellow gold and platinum. Recently, platinum has become popular because of its durability. Choosing a ring that is made of durable material is especially important for the groom’s ring. Many times, men can be harder on rings, especially those with jobs that include manual labor. Be sure the rings you choose will last and look beautiful for years to come.

Get Sized by a Jeweler

When you are spending much money on rings, you want to be sure that they fit perfectly. Make sure that you get professionally sized for your wedding rings instead of making a guess. You want to be sure the ring will fit correctly to prevent it from being too tight or being too loose and slipping off.

Allow Enough Time

It is important that you allow the jeweler enough time to complete your ring order by your wedding day. Be sure that you go looking for your wedding rings a few months before your wedding so the rings will be ready for your big day.

There are many different styles and materials to choose from when picking your wedding bands and it may take you some time to find the perfect one. The most important thing to remember is that your wedding rings are symbolic of your everlasting love. Such a noble commitment demands that you buy rings that you love and will enjoy wearing for the rest of your life.

An Insight Into Dowsing

Filed under: Advice — wood_rings @ 11:13 pm

Sophie Chamberlain asked:


Dowsing, sometimes associated with the word, radioesthesia, is the use of a special instrument to identify or find an object or condition in physical matter. Dowsing is generally associated with finding oil, water or precious metals, but sometimes an object that is missing. To this end, various Dowsing instruments are used- on either a map, a picture or an actual physical location. Dowsing is probably a very ancient practice. There is evidence that Dowsing goes back as far as ancient Egypt and ancient China. Dowsing was reportedly used to find coal during the Middle Ages.

The most popular tools for Dowsing are the “wishing rods,” which are often made out of metal these days but sometimes out of wood, as was common in the past- and the pendulum.

Dowsing, in the fast, generally used, wood. Popular woods that were used for Dowsing were hazel branches, generally forked, along with beech, alder and apple. Nowadays, as before, the Dowsing rods, when used, are held in an L-shape with discovery being made when the rods cross each other. Pendulums used for Dowsing are simply generally string weighted with some type of crystal or other type of weight.

Sir William Barrett, a physics professor at the Royal College of Science in Dublin at the end of the century, was extremely skeptical of Dowsing until he became familiar with a dowser named John Mullins, who was hired by the Waterford Bacon Factory to locate underground streams of water. The small forked stick he used for Dowsing almost immediately bore more fruit than the work of various professional geologists who had failed to identify the water source. Later on, Barrett would be one of the main founders of the British Society for Psychical Research and publish the results of his research on Dowsing in the Society’s Proceedings.

Classic research on Dowsing was conducted and reported by Dr. Solco W. Tromp, a Dutch professor of geology, who was the director of the Bioclimatological Center in London. His chief book related to parapsychological research was Psychical Physics, a work speaking of the influence of various types of electrical and magnetic field on living organisms. It included the effects of these types of fields on dowsers, which he himself tested in the laboratory. To this end, used a galvanometer with a wooden ring and a coil of wire to create a magnetic field. He found that, although dowsers could not really determine the intensity of the field, they could detect changes in it. He also found that Dowsing in the field, using a pendulum for quicker results, could successfully enable to dowser to detect different types of magnetic anomalies

Theories of Dowsing vary, but it is often supposed that the Dowsing instrument conveys to the psyche of the dowser a subtle energy detected around the object in question. So a field of energy, perhaps still unknown to modern science, is postulated to be the cause of the phenomenon. For those interested, there is still an American and a British Society of Dowsers. Their addresses are: The British Society of Dowsers, Sycamore College, Tamley Lane, Hastingleigh, Ashford, Kent, TN25 5HW, England and The American Society of Dowsers, Inc., Danville, Vermont, 05828.

Best Hardwood Floor Care Tips And How Not To Damage Your Flooring!

Filed under: Home Improvement — wood_rings @ 11:28 pm

Helen Hecker asked:


These are some of my best tips if you need to know how to clean your hardwood floors and how to best take care of them and not damage them in the process. These will help you whether you have hardwood floors now or plan to get them soon, either by DIY (doing-it-yourself) or by installing using a hardwood floor contractor.

It doesn’t matter what type of hardwood you have - exotic, oak, maple, cherry, Brazilian cherry, etc., to remove surface dirt, vacuuming is the easiest and best way to start. If pollutants are sticking to the surface, such as smoke, you can remove them by rubbing the surface carefully with a slightly wet cloth. You can dampen the cloth with water or use commercial furniture cleaner but make sure to test a corner of the wood with the product you’ll be using so that you don’t damage it.

Commercial cleaners are generally water-based. They usually contain degreasers besides the cleansers. These are used for hardwood floors and for wood furniture and are usually safe for people but use gloves to protect your hands. And be careful about breathing any fumes that are emitted from the hardwood floor cleaners. Use good ventilation too.

If your cleaner is oil-based it will be flammable. If you choose to use the oil-based cleaner, after you finish, be sure to soak the rags in water and put them outside in a fire-proof container such as metal, away from your house and any wooden structure.

Try not to use any hardwood floor cleaners that contain silicone. The silicone will give a smooth finish but you will not be able to refinish the hardwood floor in the future even if the original coating is stripped off. Also lemon oil cleaners should not be used because they show fingerprints and the shine will have a smudged appearance. But worst of all these cleaners usually contain kerosene which will hurt most finishes and exposure to it is not good for your health.

When wood furniture is exposed to ultraviolet rays from sunlight it will become damaged as time goes by and the same is true for hardwood floors. To avoid this you can tint the windows to stop the UV rays from shining on the flooring.

If your floors need waxing just a thin coat of wax is best. If you put on a coat that is too thick it won’t dry evenly. This will leave a finish that is spotty.

When you wax your hardwood floors, a hard, waterproof wax is usually recommended. Waterproof wax will prevent the white ring problem. If you’ve ever placed a water pail or other container on a hardwood floor and it left a white ring, it’s because the water or moisture penetrated below the wax and it actually breaks the bond with the hardwood surface. Waterproof wax will prevent this from happening.

You only want to wax hardwood floors once a year or so. Make sure to apply just a little bit of wax because a buildup of wax is messy and difficult to remove. You want to choose a paste wax instead of a liquid wax because it will contain more wax.

With these tips you will know what to do to help preserve your hardwood floors and most importantly what to avoid so you won’t damage them. There are still other tips that you can use to help preserve your flooring or help you decide what flooring to get whether you already have hardwood floors or are thinking about putting in hardwood floors yourself or through a hardwood floor contractor.
