Things To Do Just Before Moving From Your Home

These are some of the tips you should consider when you are moving from your apartment to a new one. I am sharing this from an experience I had when I am moving from California to one of the apartments in Orlando. Take a good set of pictures of the whole apartment, showing the condition in which you have left it. As soon as you have finished taking the pictures, leave the apartment, turn off all lights, and lock up for the last time. Have your friend watch as you seal all the keys in an envelope. Have your friend come with you as you turn in the keys, leave them at the landlord's office, or mail them to the landlord. Include a brief letter to the landlord stating the date and what keys are enclosed, and keep a copy of the letter.

Sometimes a landlord will see the movers, think you've finished moving, and not realize that you planned to return to pick up a few remaining items, do a final clean-up, and take pictures. Then, the landlord may come in, clean out whatever you've left in the apartment, and even change the locks while it is still legally your apartment. To prevent this, make sure you let your landlord know your moving plans, explicitly and in writing. And, of course, keep a copy of the letter or e-mail for your own records. Your landlord may be totally honest and not give you any problem about the condition in which you left your apartment. But even if you have gotten along well with your landlord, it is better to follow this and be safe rather than sorry.

Tips To Improve Your Golf Swing

Most golfers will admit that golf is 90% mental, yet most spend all their time and efforts on the mechanical aspect of the game. The golfing industry hasn't helped the trend by breaking down the swing and analyzing each of its components. While, the average handicap for club players is still the same as it was 20 years ago. Even with all the new technology in equipment and video analysis.

Everyone seems to be teaching or learning the perfect swing, but little do people realize that almost no one has a perfect swing, not even the pros. Each of us has a certain way of swinging the club, even if we are taught the correct way in the beginning. Negative feelings have a lot to do with our swing. If you have a good swing, and negative thoughts, you still will not play good golf. Most players are distracted and not totally concentrating on their shot at one time or another. Each time this happens, you can lose a stroke or two. If this happens only 4-5 times a round, it could add a lot of strokes to your score.

The main principles behind good golf are simple. You must be able to focus on the task at hand and stay in the present, then pick a small target and empty all unwanted thoughts from your mind.

Glassware Care & Cleaning

It is very important that glassware is used and stored properly to prevent failure or injury. Any scratches, whether noticeable or not, greatly reduces its strength. Whenever possible, do not let glass apparatus contact metal, grit or even other glassware. Plastic stirring rods and scrapers should be used to prevent scratches and prolong glassware life. Glass should not be scribed or etched. This is especially important when it is to be used for pressure or vacuum work. Hear are some important tips of cleaning and caring your glassware.

• All glassware should be inspected frequently. Bring to the Glass Shop at first sign of damage for evaluation or repair.
• Clean and dry glassware as soon as possible prior to storing. Dirty glassware gets harder to clean over time.
• Re-grease joints and stopcocks often. This is especially important for vacuum work.
• When not in use, remove and clean all stoppers, adapters and plugs to prevent “sticking” problems.
• Cover all metal rods with rubber tubing before storing flasks or apparatus on them.
• If glassware or quartz ware is to be heated, it must be triple rinsed in deionizer or distilled water after cleaning and dried thoroughly. This will ensure contaminates are not burned onto glassware permanently. When handling quartz you should always wear clean cotton gloves to prevent oil on your hands from contaminating and causing the onset of diversification.

Avoid Replying To Spam

Spammers do regard responses to their messages like “Don't spam me” as an indication that the link is valid. Similarly many spam messages may contain Web links or addresses which the user is directed to follow in order to remove himself from the spammer's list but alas he is caught in the vicious circle of the spammer resulting in him being led to more spam as also tested by spam fighters. Sender's addresses are most often forged while sending spam and sometimes the recipient may find that the mail comes from his email address itself, the result is that responding to spam may result in failed deliveries or the innocent persons getting bulk messages. In Usenet, it is considered very important to avoid responding to spam. Many ISPs have software that tends to seek and destroy duplicate messages. Sometimes the users may respond to spam, before their server, which creates an illusion of reposting the spam for them, cancels it and this may last even longer since it is not considered as a duplicate.
