Keeping Seagulls Away From Your Beach House

Manifest What you Want, Whenever you Want....

As far as having a house on the beach goes, there are lots of things about this that are wonderful and truly enjoyable, but at the same time, there are certain things about a beach house they can be a bit of a nuisance – and one of the most prominent of these “nuisances” are seagulls who have a tendency to swoop down on your porch and try to take your food! While this might seem like “part of the charm” of having a beach house the first few times it happens, it will become quite annoying in the long run, which is why it is very good to know what you can do to keep seagulls away from your porch.

Seagulls will be far less likely to bother you if you can cause them to think that there is a predator on your porch; putting up something that is brightly colored with a black dot in the middle (which will look like a large predator with a large eye to the seagull) will keep them away, and usually – especially if you are in a beach town – you will have no problem finding something like this!

Rigging something that catches the light and reflects it at the seagulls is another good method; something worth considering trying is filling a large plastic sandwich bag with water, putting a crumpled up piece of tin foil in the water, and hanging this on the edge of your porch, as this will actually go a long way in fighting your seagull problem!

And making sure you are doing nothing that will overtly attract seagulls is one of the biggest things for keeping seagulls away from your beach house and your porch; do not leave food unattended on your porch, and do not throw food out in your yard for the seagulls to enjoy! You will be more likely to deal with seagulls if you give them incentive to come your way, so minimize their incentives to visit your house and you will minimize your problem!

Knowing Whether A Seahorse Is A Good Fit For Your Saltwater Aquarium

Manifest What you Want, Whenever you Want....

The seahorse is one of the most spectacular specimens in the ocean, and when added to a saltwater aquarium, it immediately becomes one of the most spectacular specimens in the tank - providing great beauty and entertainment for all who look at the tank. But before you decide to add a seahorse of your own, there are a few things you need to make sure you know about them.

First off, the seahorse is actually just an upright fish, which means that your care for them will be similar to your care for other fish in your tank; at the same time, however, the seahorse is one of the more difficult fish to keep in captivity, as they often have a hard time adjusting to a new tank.

Because seahorse have a special bond with their mate - and in fact reinforce this bond every morning by doing a unique and elaborate "greeting dance" each morning - one of the best ways to get your seahorse to adjust to the tank is to add both a male and a female. The difficulty in this, of course, is that seahorse are very loyal to their mate, and if they have been removed from another mate, they might never latch onto this new match you have tried to set them up with.

Before you add a seahorse to a tank, you need to make sure the tank is fully operational, with a thriving collection of fish and with no problems popping up in the tank's maintenance. The healthier your tank is when you add a seahorse, the greater chance you have of this seahorse surviving.

You need to provide your seahorse with live food, when it comes time to feed - preferably ghost shrimp - at least twice per day; some people try to simply stock their aquarium with enough ghost shrimp to last several days, and others keep their ghost shrimp in a small, separate tank and add them to the big aquarium as needed.

If you buy a pair of seahorse, you will always be taking a chance on whether or not you will be able to help them thrive; if they do thrive, however, you will have a great addition to your tank - one that is sure to enthrall both you and your guests!

Keeping Stains From Sticking To Clothes

Manifest What you Want, Whenever you Want....

If you are going to be doing something from which you expect your clothes to take a bit of wear and tear – either because you will be spending time outside, or because you will be eating messy food – it is not a big deal if your clothes end up getting permanently stained, but if you are not expecting your clothes to get dirty, it can be frustrating when they get permanently stained. And even though there are plenty of products that claim to get rid of “even tough to lift” stains, the simple truth is that you need to take immediate action (and you need to know what you are doing!) if you want to get stains out of your clothes before they become “permanent.”

As soon as you get a stain on clothes, you need to take action; the best thing for you to do – rather than trying to “scrub out” the stain, which is a mistake a lot of people make – is to fill a bowl with warm water, and to soak the clothes in this water for about twenty-four hours, as this will loosen up the stain and keep it from clinging to the garment.

After you have finished soaking the garment, you should apply some Spray n Wash Laundry Stain Remover With Resolve; a little bit on the area of the stain will make the stain far less likely to remain in place when you put it in the wash.

And of course, washing clothes with laundry detergent that is tough on stains is a must – and it is even better if the detergent in question has been proven to work, and is light on your wallet, as is the case with Soilove Laundry Stain Remover.

Getting rid of every stain you ever come across is - of course - out of the question, but when you take these simple steps, you will be able to fight stains much more efficiently, and will be able to save a lot of your clothes.

All of Your Songs in One Place

The ability to play music is held by many cell phones that people own. Although it is a feature of new phones that many people enjoy, there are deficiencies within it. People who enjoy music often need more storage for their music than is generally found on phones. Storing even the most timid of music collections will be challenging with only a 16 gigabyte phone. The best option for most people is to get themselves a MP3 player dedicated to their music. This is why COWON make their X7 MP3 player.

Other MP3 players are not in the same league as the COWON X7 as far as features go. One of its most striking features is its screen. Up to 16 million colors can be displayed on the large 4.3 inch screen. This allows for a very high resolution and allows you to not only view your music, but to also view other media forms. The player will also allow you to store all of your pictures that can then be shared with family and friends. It is easy to scroll through them while using the touch screen.

You may also store movies and videos on the X7 that you can watch from anywhere. The screen will present these movies in a very clear format. An output will also allow you to view the videos on an external monitor like a TV. It is a composite output that most TVs still use today. The battery is extremely long lasting and allows you to watch up to 10 hours of video. One charge is also enough for you to listen to 103 hours of music.

COWON X7 160 GB MP3 Player.

The battery on your phone will not have to be quickly drained any longer. Phones today are packed with features, but not with enough power to truly use them for everything. If you listen to a lot of music or watch a lot of video the COWON X7 MP3 player is the way to go. It allows you to save your phone for phone calls while enjoying your music and video for many hours!

Outdoor Party Games

Manifest What you Want, Whenever you Want....

Summer time is a great time for cookouts and parties on your patio while hanging out in the sun. Having a great summer party is what makes summer, summer. When you have your friends over it is a good idea to have some fun games to go with the food and beverage. You can go with a wide variety of options from horseshoes to bean bag games.

Croquet can even be a wonderful time with some fun house rules. Croquet traditionally uses mallets to maneuver balls through a course of arches. Whoever gets in the least amount of hits, wins the game.

Another fun option is frizbee golf. This game uses cage baskets to represent the hole. You set this somewhere in your yard and the goal is to land your frizbee into the net. You can spice it up by placing the net behind different obstacles in your yard. Frizbee golf is incredibly addictive and you may be tempted to find an actual frizbee golf course in your area.

Another game that is becoming classic is beanbag games. Threehole beanbag toss games can be great for party situations. They make for great games for both kids and adults. Conversely the further away you put the boards the more challenging it is for adults. If you want to increase the fun, keep score and have door prizes for the winner of the games.

Ladder golf, is another game which has become very popular lately. To play this you simply throw a set of balls which are attached by a string, trying to get them to hook around the rung of the ladder. Each rung has a different point value and the player with the highest score wins.

Outdoor games can really liven up your party. Try a few games and see how your guests enjoy the next party.

NCAA Football 12 from EA Sports

Manifest What you Want, Whenever you Want....

The upcoming season for the NFL is not looking good. It seems as though the lockout between the players and owners will at least cost the league some games, if not the whole season. The need to look elsewhere for entertainment will be felt by all football fans. For most of these fans there will be no better place to look than college football. Every Saturday the NCAA will showcase players laying it on the line which will give fans the football that they so desperately wait all year for.

Not only will this upcoming NCAA fulfill a need for football fans on the weekend, but the new NCAA Football 12 video game from ea sports will also fill that need. The NCAA game is updated with new rosters and features this year while the Madden franchise will end up staying rather stagnant due to the lockout. Each team will be updated to reflect their current skill level which gives gamers the newest teams of the year.

The new features to this years game are well worth buying it when it comes out. Realignment is happening for many conferences in college football. You will be able to realign conferences on your own in the game this year. This allows you to create new rivalries and also change the entire structure of college football on your system. School specific traditions will remain the same though. Their own game day traditions are held by each school and are featured in the game.

This fall may be marked by the NFL and their inability to settle to save the season, but the game of football can still be enjoyed by fans everywhere. NCAA Football 12 has instituted new features different from the years past, while retaining the features many have grown to love. Of all the features retained loading an NFL draft in Madden with players from the NCAA game is still one of the absolute best. This means that the players you develop this year can be uploaded into Madden when the NFL starts up again!

How To Tour The United States On Motorcycle

Manifest What you Want, Whenever you Want....

If seeing lots of different parts of the United States is something that has ever appealed to you, you may have considered the idea of taking a road trip that will carry you across different parts of the country - but if you are wanting to really see the United States to its fullest, the best way of all to tour the country is by riding a motorcycle. Instead of just "seeing" everything - through the glass of your car windows - on a trip cross-country, you will instead be "part of" everything when you take this trip on a motorcycle; of course, you cannot simply hop on a motorcycle and go, however, as there are some particular things you will want to make sure you are keeping in mind before you embark on this journey of a lifetime.

A plan and a partner will be the first two things you will need in order to take this motorcycle journey; the plan should be flexible, but it should also provide you with a clear idea of what you are going to be doing, while the partner should be someone you will enjoy being around - both on the road, and during your breaks.

Speaking of breaks, be aware of the fact that breaks are extremely important; such a long motorcycle journey will be impossible to take without a comfortable seat, but even with a comfortable seat, the trip will remain nearly impossible if you are not taking frequent breaks - so make sure you are stopping regularly so both you and your partner can stretch your legs, and so you can take the time to enjoy the whole journey.

And when you are taking such a lengthy motorcycle journey, the most important thing of all is that you know a few things about fixing your motorcycle; there is no guarantee that your motorcycle will stay in perfect shape throughout the duration of this trip, so knowing all the small things you can do to maintain the shape of your bike will go a long way in speeding your journey along and making it far more enjoyable!
