people often ask me if Pepper Spray really works and will an attacker keep coming if hes sprayed?

Heres an idea I suggest to them. Just imagine surprising someone by spraying water in his face. What does he do? The person would immediately close his eyes and stop dead in their tracks or even take a step back. This is an involuntary reaction by people and its just done with water which wont hurt you. they would sputter and yell and wipe their face but they would be instantly OK but if he were an attacker, he could still be a danger to you. Try it sometimes with a friend and watch the reactions but be ready to make a strong apology for scaring the heck out of them.

now, imagine if the water were Pepper Spray which contains the ingredient Oleoresin Capsicum (OC). This is a natural substance and derivative of hot cayenne peppers. It is an inflammatory agent which causes temporary blindness and constricted breathing but does not interfere with necessary breathing to sustain life. It can also cause nausea. The effects last up to 45 minutes.

The same reaction that occurred with water would still happen, but, instead of being instantly OK the person would be temporarily blinded along with uncontrollable coughing and choking and would be that way for up to 45 minutes. This would-be attacker is no longer much of a problem to you. Dont forget, hes still a bad guy and still can swing his arms even if he cant see. Dont give him the chance run away screaming to get attention and call 911 on your cell phone. Have them put this creep behind bars where he deserves.

Some people will tell you that just holding your arm out in front of you with the Pepper Spray and shouting Stop, I have Pepper Spray will stop an attacker. Well, maybe! If it does, great just scram out of there as fast as you can.

I, however, wouldnt give the creep any chance to prepare. Most Pepper Spray has a spray distance of over 6 feet so fire when you see the whites of his eyes. Let him have it with more than 1 squirt just to be sure your aim was proper. And then, as Ive said before, just run and call 911. Dont try to be a hero and capture him alone. You disabled him, now get out of there!

Every second matters when youre in trouble. Pepper Spray gives you a chance to use this precious time to get away. Get peace of mind -- Pepper Spray could save your life!

Ventilation devices can be active or passive. Turbine vents are passive ventilation devices. Other examples of passive ventilation devices are the traditional metal pot vents and the popular ridge and soffit ventilation systems. Passive ventilation devices do not need electricity to work. Whereas, an active ventilation device could be an electric powered whole house fan or a powered roof ventilator.

Turbine vents consists of a turbine mounted on a sheet metal cylinder. They are normally installed like roof line vents along the face of the roof. When the wind blows, the turbine spins which draws air up out of the attic. Passive turbine vents need wind to be effective, but active turbine vents are not dependent on wind. Turbine vents are round metal vents with fins in them. They normally stick up from the roof surface to about 18 to 20 inches. The fins are actually located in a dome shaped structure that spins when the wind blows across it. The faster the wind, the faster the turbine will rotate. Turbine vents are effective in replacing the hot air in your attic within minutes. Wind blows across the fins in the roof turbine and it exhausts the heat build up.

The mechanics involved in the air movement is very simple. During warm weather, the air present inside the attic heats up and since warm air rises, it tends to rise up. When the turbines rotate, they suck the warm air out through the vent thereby bringing out a drop in temperature in the attic. Turbine vents have been vastly used for many years in residential, agricultural, commercial and industrial buildings. They are cheap and easy to install and can pump out vast amounts of air from the attic.

Let us consider a small 12 inch diameter turbine vent. When a constant wind speed of 5 miles per hour is blowing across its face, it can remove almost 350 cubic fee of air per minute. Even with the lack of any wind, the vents would still allow warm air to drift up and out of the attic. But the volume of air removed would be considerably lower. Though the statistics might not impress you much, it is proved that for a moderately sized home it will do just fine.

It is quite natural for people to think that the vents would leak during a rainstorm. Every rainstorm or even a rain shower is accompanied with wind, which will make the turbines spin, so that should blow off the raindrops off the vent. The same applies for snow too.

Roof turbine vents are cheap. The average cost of a high quality roof turbine would be about $50. Also the time taken to install one is just about 15 minutes. Good quality roof turbines will be hassle free for years as they will have permanently sealed ball bearings. If you want the turbine vent to be secured better to your roof, you can always opt for the one with metal braces. The metal braces extend out beyond the turbine and do a good job of stabilizing the turbine even at high wind speeds.

It happens to all of us, even though we do not want to admit it. The reality is we all get older. Some of you may already know what I am talking about, and others may have yet to experience the phenomenon of aging. Those of you who are reading this article and are no longer spring chickens get my drift. Even if you are one of the lucky ones, still young, let me fill you in on what happens as the body gets a few miles on it.

Probably the biggest thing that we all dislike when we creep into our thirties and forties is the extra poundage (i.e. weight) we tend to put on. (It is also a lot harder to take off when we get older.) Unfortunately, because our metabolism slows down, we are unable to pound down a burger, fries, and a couple of cokes without the bathroom scale hitting tilt a few days later. In my mind, that probably is the most difficult adjustment we have to make: an adjustment in our nutrition intake as we age.

The second most noticeable difference as we age, especially for the more active individual, is it becomes a little more difficult to get out of bed. The back is a little sore, the knees are a little creaky, and, if you workout, the soreness does not go away as quickly. This is a result of a few things that happen to our bodies when we get older. Number one is we lose a percentage of our muscle mass on a yearly basis. After the age of 25 (dont quote me on the specifics, but I believe) about 1% of your muscle mass is lost per year. Makes sense now why we get a little sorer and getting out of bed is more difficult. We simply do not have as much muscle to do the work.

I could go on and on with the depressing facts of aging, but let us look at just one more before moving on. As you get older you become less flexible. It takes you a lot longer to limber up for any sporting activity: golf, tennis, or a pick up game of basketball. Less flexibility predisposes you to experience more difficulty with certain movements: touching your toes, rotating during a golf swing, or even reaching down to pick something up off the ground. Why does this occur? Our bodies, as a result of wear and tear, become more tight and wound up as we get older.

So there you have it! Some of the great things to look forward to as you get older (kidding of course). So if youre in your twenties and youre reading this article, enjoy it while it lasts, because the road gets a little more difficult to travel as you get older. But, if youre beyond your twenties, I am sure you can relate to the general results of aging in relation to your golf game. Quite simply, extra pounds decrease your stamina (and may affect your swing plane). Less muscle equals less distance off the tee, and decreased flexibility tends to make the turn in the golf swing much harder to perform. An unfortunate situation, but the good news is that we can slow down the aging process and limit the effects of aging on your golf game.

Slowing Down the Aging Process for the golf Swing

I have given you a little carrot of information that we can slow down the aging process. How do we do it? It is actually quite simple and only requires a little time out of each day (15-20 minutes) and a little discipline. Sounds pretty easy when you think of all the benefits you stand to gain. What we are going to do is provide you some answers on how to slow down the aging process. Remember we cant stop the aging process, but we can sure slow it down. The benefits of slowing down the aging process are evident when you see guys in their 50s winning tour events. It just takes a little time, some knowledge, and discipline. If you are saying, I dont have the time, let me ask you one question: How would you like to feel 10 years younger right now and hit the ball farther then you did in your twenties? I imagine the answer to both of those questions would be a resounding yes!

Let us start with the first topic that we described when you get older, the additional pounds. Unfortunately, as you age your metabolism slows down. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the word metabolism, think of it as your own internal furnace. It is the rate at which you burn fuel (food is fuel to the human body). When we are younger we tend have faster metabolisms, and as we get older they slow down. (I know it is a bummer.) Well, let me tell you, there are activities to speed that metabolism back up. The way to do it is by performing some fitness activities. If you are active and participate in some type of structured activity your body will burn more fuel and elevate its metabolism during this time. In addition, if these activities are resistance-training activities (i.e. weights, tubing, light dumbbells, body weight), then over time you will build some muscle. The great thing about that is the more muscle you have the higher your metabolism will be all the time (translation: you will burn more fuel all day and night). A secondary benefit of such activities will be greater stamina on the course. So rather than spraying your shots around on the back nine because youre tired, you can have pinpoint accuracy going into the 18th.

Moving on to our second point, the loss of muscle mass as you age, this one is a tough one to swallow. Just think, we actually LOSE muscle as we age. Pretty depressing. The good news is it can be limited or stopped. Before I give you the solution, lets look at how this affects your golf swing. Essentially, in the golf swing you create club head speed. That club head speed is the result of creating rotational power, which we define as torque. To create torque, the muscles of the body have to be flexible, strong, and powerful. Now guess what? If you have less muscle, what do you think is going to happen to your power outputs and club head speed? The answer is they will decrease. No wonder they make senior shafts with a lot of flex. This is the golf manufacturers attempt to deal with this problem. It helps to a point, but we have a better solution. How about putting something in your bag that makes you stronger, improves your power, and gets back that lost distance? Sounds good? Well, it can be done if you implement a golf-specific strength-training program. You can get back that lost muscle mass, get back that power, and improve your driving distance. This is what we call the development of golf strength, and it can be done with a program that takes a total of 15 minutes a day!

Finally, moving on to the flexibility issue, our bodies lose flexibility as we age. Flexibility is a must when it comes to the golf swing. Here is what happens when you do not work on your flexibility. A loss of flexibility in the golf swing limits the ability of the body to perform the correct actions to create the proper swing. Essentially, your body wont allow you to take the club back and through on the correct swing path. This leads to miss hits, slices, hooks, and a whole bunch of other shots that are very unpleasant. So how do we fix this problem or not allow it to become a problem? The answer is to implement a golf-specific flexibility program. This again requires a daily commitment, but the time frame is very little (say 5 minutes a day). So again, ask yourself: Is it worth spending 5 minutes a day on flexibility to have the golf swing you would like? I bet most of you would answer yes.

Well, there you have the pleasures, displeasure, joys, and sorrows of the aging process. We all get older, but there are things we can do to prevent the displeasures and sorrows. If we take a little time every day and perform the proper exercises and activities, we can reduce the effects of aging and have a great swing for as long as we like.

Calcite, the main cause of scale, is the most common form of calcium carbonate and occurs naturally as a natural ingredient of chalk, limestone and marble. Water passing over and permeating through such rocks dissolves calcite when this water subsequently flows through a water system the calcite precipitates out to form a very hard scale on surfaces.When hard water is heated, or evaporation takes place, the problems are exacerbated. Calcite forms ever growing layers of rock-like deposits until eventually pipes, jets and equipment become totally blocked. The problem increases as the water gets hotter. Water containing 145 ppm of calcite, flowing at 3.5 litres per minute, produces in one year 4.8 kilograms of scale at 60C. At 80C this rises dramatically to a massive 29.9 kilograms! Scale wastes both energy and financial resources just one eighth of an inch of scale reduces heating efficiency by 25%. It is also very expensive to remove, de-scaling pipes and boilers alone costs British Industry over 800M each year.

Hard water substantially increases energy consumption, necessitates equipment downtime for cleaning and results in the early renewal of capital equipment. Executives involved in running a business, local government department or institution are under increasing pressure to cut costs and become more efficient. However this must be carried out with due regard to increasing environmental legislation.

Scalewatcher is a unique, efficient, energy-saving device better than the water softener or a magnet. It is designed to eliminate the problems of hard water, whilst retaining the natural benefits. This is achieved by changing the size of the particles of precipitated compounds, by aiding the ability of crystals to form their shape, and by altering the solubility of compounds within liquid. Scalewatcher takes the process of induced ionisation to its ultimate stage. The principles of Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) are applied by passing scalewatcher's patented signal through a coil wrapped around the pipe to be treated. The signal consists of a frequency modulated (FM) wave form within the audio frequency (AF) bandwidth. This inaudible sonic frequency signal sets up a dynamic field around and through the coil, pipe and water, and modifies the calcium carbonate crystal nuclei. The nuclei upon which the crystals start growing are minute in size and have charged surfaces in their natural condition within the water. When they pass through the field, these naturally charged nuclei encounter considerable forces as the field interacts with them. The field acts at the surfaces of the nuclei and modifies the nature of the electrical charges and this ionisation effect thus alters the growth rate and pattern of the crystals in general and on specific planes.

The principle of magnetic water treatment is not new. The first patent was granted around 1900. Scalewatcher takes this knowledge into the 21st century. The electronic device treats the water by inducing magnetic AND electric fields with a continuous changing frequency. This forces the dissolved minerals such as Calcium and Magnesium to crystallize in the water before the ions settle (hard scale) at walls of piping, bathroom or heating elements of dishwasher and washing machine. This action stops any further build up of hard scale by preventing the settlement of dissolved mineral ions on whatever surface.

Advances in micro-electronics have enabled scalewatcher to produce a system which is so compact that it can be installed in small or normally inexcessable spaces. It is ideal for commercial applications such as laundries, hotels, garages, dentists, correctional centers, restaurants and bakeries. Easily fitted and requiring no plumbing, chemicals or maintenance. Scalewatcher benefits include : increased life for capital equipment, lower energy bills, short term payback, reduced mechanical damage and failure environmentally friendly and hazard free.

The capability of the water to dissolve minerals will also be increased and this is the reason why hard scale layers will be softened, will slowly enter into the water stream, and will disappear down the drain.
