I’m allergic to tree pollen, dust, and other common allergens that many others are also allergic to. I purchased an air purifier at the end of last year with hopes of cleaning the air a bit in my room to make it easier to breathe. With that said, you can imagine my surprise when I was told a couple days ago by another person that his doctor had actually advised him to stay away from air purifiers because “they are bad for you.”
Naturally I was skeptical of this claim at first, but after browsing around on Google, apparently some types of air purifiers create ozone which can be hazardous to your health if exposed to frequently. How ironic that something created to make breathing easier could actually make it worse. That’s why it’s important to read about clean air facts before buying a purifier.
Fortunately for me, the air purifier I bought was not one of the hazardous ones discussed frequently on the internet. The one I got utilizes a hepa filter, which is widely known as a high quality product. As it was one of my first air purifier purchases, I decided not to spend too much on it, just so I could see how it worked and how effective it actually was. I have noticed a slight reduction in dust, especially in the areas located immediately around the device, but I do think I could have made a better buy. For instance, the Oransi hepa purifier is a certified device that would probably do a much better job at cleaning my entire room (up to 600 sq feet) rather than a tiny area. Plus, judging by the design of the purifier on the websites I’ve read, it has a much better filter and it even has a filter replacement indicator so you can tell when it’s time to replace the filter.

This guest post from Lewis Beck
We’ve been fine at our house for years without internet access. My husband and I both have it at work and we get our e-mails on our phones so we felt like we weren’t missing out on anything by not having it. Now that the kids are getting older, though, it’s time to look at some wild blue plans. As they’ve made their way into the tween years, both of them want e-mail addresses to keep up with their friends. I’m not ready to buy them smartphones to e-mail and text so I guess we are going to have to bite the bullet and let them get online. I’d much rather they got online at our home computer anyway so I can keep track of what they are looking at and who they are in touch with. Plus, I think it would be a great way for them to stay in touch with their grandparents. Maybe it will even free up my phone line!

The most recent update to Google‘s search algorithm was intended to weed out websites which benefit from the use of high PR blog networks otherwise known as link farms by de-indexing the domains that compose the network. De-indexing was utilized as to avoid unintentional repercussions for websites involuntarily receiving benefits from these properties through a process commonly referred to as link laundering.
Google’s intent was to reshape the landscape of their search engine’s result pages (SERPs) in order to further enhance the quality of their search engine. While Google appears to have intended to clean things up a bit, it appears as if they have somehow managed to do the opposite. By somehow, I’m really referencing the two little known facts that many legitimate websites hiring SEO companies have no idea how their top search engine rankings are achieved and the reality that many of those who wield the power of SEO are also web developers. Between the two, a considerable chunk of the visible spectrum of websites within the various search engines result pages is accounted for. With that said, it appears as if the relevance of the SERPs have actually diminished along with the overall quality of their search. Such is the unintended consequences of Google’s recent update.
To those of you who were slapped by Google’s recent update, it’s not over yet my friends as setbacks such as the aforementioned as merely the name of the game. The only truth you can harbor is the understanding that this all temporal, subject to change over time, and change it will.
Why is a sushi bar’s happy hour page in the top 20 results when you query “buy viagra” without the quotes? Where’s the relevance?

Anyone with hard floors to clean that is concerned with cleaning their hard floors and maintaining a sanitary surface can benefit greatly from owning a steam mop. There are a lot of different manufacturers of steam mops and they come in a wide range of different styles. Your basic steam mop has a scrubbing surface that comes in contact with the floor, a reservoir, and a heating element that turns water into steam. Steam cleaners use the 100% all-natural cleaning power of steam. Steam mops on the other hand are a combination of steam cleaning with a mop head for quick and easy cleaning. I’m going to introduce you to some of the best steam mops around, if you’d like to learn more about a given steam mop, I would suggest you read the in-depth review attached to it by simply following the links.
 One of the best steam mops around, the S3601 professional steam mop by Shark also known as the Steam Pocket Mop has a smart design that incorporates variable adjustments at the push of a button. With three different settings, two different mop heads, carpet glider, and microfiber cleaning pads, the Shark Professional Steam Pocket Mop is definitely worth taking a look at.

 While the Bionaire Steam Mop is more than powerful enough to obliterate 99.9% of household viruses, bacteria, dust mites, and so on, it’s not necessarily what I would consider to be the best steam mop due to the low overall quality of the device. If you’re looking for a cheap steam mop, the Bionaire Steam Mop makes for a decent inexpensive steam cleaning option.

 HAAN steam cleaner mops are capable of easily cleaning hard wood, vinyl, tile, laminates, and many more surfaces with the power of steam which eliminates the majority of allergy causes mites, viruses, and bacteria.

 By far my personal favorite, the Bissell Steam Mop cleans hard floors with little effort. A 360 degree swivel head makes it incredibly easy to maneuver in and out of tight spots. If you need a high quality steam cleaner that takes 30 seconds to prepare, Bissell’s steam mop is for you! Weighing 9 pounds makes it a bit heavier than some of the other steam mops, however, you have a 17.5 ounce water reservoir which allows you to clean without refilling the reservoir too often. Make cleaning fun and safe by staying away from dangerous cleaning chemicals and instead opting for a high quality steam cleaner like the Bissell Steam Mop.

Dell – Is it really the power to do more?
I remember getting my first Dell in the late 90′s and it was an incredible and customized PC. It’s crazy to think that less than 15 years ago they were basically the pioneer is this area. You had many different selections to choose from to custom you pc such as processor, ram, graphics card, modem, ethernet, speakers, optical drives like cd or dvd, hard drive size, the software you wanted it to come with preloaded on the pc & many more. My original dell that I bought sometime around 1998 still functions in my house as a guest computer.
Because of the way computer technology advances often referred to as Moore’s Law(where processing speed and memory double approximately every 18 months) this system is no longer the fastest. However, it still serves as a computer to those relatives who always seem to put some type of spyware on my computers somehow. This computer has been through a lot and was used for several years exclusivity and has still yet to have the need to replace a single component. Although, I did upgrade the memory at some point. This experience has made me believe Dell was an amazing quality brand for many years.
Dell was the #1 PC manufactorer from 1999 to 2005 minus a small period time when Compaq & HP the 2nd and 4th largest manufactorers respectively merged. In 2005 PC growth slowed considerable and by the end of 2006 Dell had been retaken by Hewlett Packard. Dell seems to have cut out both research and development as well as customer service. Most of the computers I purchased from 2005 onward have had some issues. I’ve had 4 of my 5 desktop pc’s have an issue with the power supply. My laptop battery doesn’t work and needs to be constantly plugged into an outlet to maintain a charge. Many of my friends and co-workers have had various issues with their Dells as well.
In 2010 I ended up building my own computer and haven’t thought about it much since. Since I’ve talked with my boss a bit about the Dell brand(he hates it and says if he gets something from Dell it always breaks) I’ve realized it a lot more about how far its fallen off. My sister’s quad core pc broke after minimal use. Another friend attempted to have their laptop replaced 3 times but they couldn’t even get the right screen for it. The cooling is often bad in their gaming laptops and I’ve heard many cases of overheating. Another friend said their laptop ran fine at around 100C until it would overheat. It seems nearly every Dell has a shorter life span now. I no longer have the faith in the brand I once did.
