November 17th, 2010 admin The diving terrain is varied – continuous reef platforms, sandy lagoons, spectacularly steep and perpendicular walls, some of which seem to have no bottom. Currents are unpredictable along the North Rock so the use of a cover boat is absolutely necessary.The current around the South Islet, on the other hand, is quite predictable and particularly good for drift-diving. Marine life is abundant and overwhelming in Tubbataha. It would seem that the fish around here all live to a right old age as they seem far larger than in other parts of the country. Giant sharks, giant lapu-lapu(grouper), giant tuna, giant mantas all around. Their sizes are matched by the wide spans of giant sea fans and giant sponges. It is easy to lapse into superlatives when describing the underwater scene around here.
The only way to reach Tubbataha is by liveaboard.

Tubbataha Reef at a glance
All these reefs consist of vertical walls or very steep slopes and are rising from great depths. You must expect strong currents that might change directions so most dives are drift dives. I advise to bring a dive computer and a safety sausage or another signal device. Night dives are only possible if there is no current. Check before starting your dive and discuss who will pick you up, if a current springs up during the night dive.
The dive season usually runs from March until June. This time of year typically gives outstanding diving conditions clear skies, flat seas and excellent visibility (30 to 45 meters).

May 3rd, 2010 admin Aromatherapy has become more and more popular in recent years. There are some studies showing that the candles could release some types of chemicals which could help the patient or the user to become more relaxed. Therefore, people could now easily buy the candle holders and the candle sconces in shops. In fact, the sconces and the holders would definitely affect the aromatherapy process. It is because the holders would help people to put the candles on it and different candles would need different shape of holders. Therefore, if a person wants to have some thick candles so that he or she does not need to change the candle all the time, they would buy some larger holder. In some cases, inappropriate size of holders or sconces would make the candle fall and the fire from the candle would cause serious accident in home, which would probably require physical therapy on top of aromatherapy.

Spring is here and it’s very likely that many of you are considering painting your house this year. Painting (both exterior and interior) is one of the most popular DIY projects for home owners. It’s understandable why when you consider how great a freshly painted house looks and how much money you can save doing it yourself.
Exterior Surface Preparation
The absolute most important part of a quality exterior paint job is surface preparation. You can spend top dollar on the best paint on the market but it won’t matter a bit if you’ve skipped proper surface preparation.
In order for paint to properly adhere to the surface (wood, brick, stucco, Masonite, cement board, metal, etc), it must be properly cleaned of all dirt, grease, oil, loose paint and other materials. One of the best ways to start the surface preparation is using a good quality pressure washer.
Once you’ve pressure washed the house you’ll need to scrape any remaining loose paint from the house and make any necessary repairs in cracked, rotted or loose siding and trim. It may be necessary to use a combination of scraping, sanding, and even chemical strippers to remove paint that’s in bad shape or not properly adhered to the siding.

Once all the surface has been cleaned make sure it dries well. Some professional painters will use a wood moisture meter to check the siding before applying the paint.
Be sure to seal all trim and siding gaps with a good quality latex caulking. Be sure the caulking says that it’s paintable on the package.
