Top 10 Ways To Keep Mold Out Of Your Home Posted: 11 Mar 2013 09:00 PM PDT Page1 2 Besides termites, mold is the second worst issues a homeowner will be confronted with. While easy to deal with when the damaging spores are present in small amounts, ignoring mold can quickly escalate and endanger your health. In fact, certain types of mold are extremely dangerous, since once the spores are inhaled, they take the quickest route to the lungs and can prove lethal to people with allergies as well as little children. Perhaps the scariest thing about mold formations is the fact that the spores can get in your home even via very small gaps and start growing on clothes, shoes, toys and sometimes even on pets. Therefore, if you noticed a mold formation in your home, take action immediately and eliminate them using the keeping the following tips in mind.   1. Maintain your home clutter free Organizing your stuff and keeping your personal effects in order does not only have an aesthetic value, but it also represents a good way to ensure an optimal air circulation in your home. For optimal airflow indoors, it is highly advisable that you arrange your furniture and drapes in a manner that does not block supply grilles and the HVAC system: if these air paths are blocked, then you will have condensation issues. As you probably know, moisture constitutes the perfect environment for mold and mildew growths.   2. Keep control over the indoor climate According to numerous homeowners, the time of the year when you are most likely to deal with mold growths are hot summers, particularly because you constantly need to adjust and play around with the air conditioning unit. It is necessary to mention that this is a serious problem for homeowners who don’t own a thermostat and change the indoor temperature according to the time of the day. Because setting the temperature too highly mean improper dehumidification, while setting it too low causes condensation, the best approach is to get a thermostat and set the temperature indoors for 78 degrees Fahrenheit.   3. When the AC is on, the doors and windows should be closed If you are keeping your doors and windows opened while the AC unit is on, then you are not only wasting money for nothing, but you also risk creating condensation and damp areas where mold thrives. Therefore, you have to decide on whether you can get comfortable by creating a venting tunnel in your home using the doors and windows or keep everything shut and turn the AC unit on.   4. Purchase a dehumidifier In the eventuality that you live in a geographical area with hot, humid summers and warm, gentle winters, then it is imperious to purchase a dehumidifier to prevent mold growth in your home. In general, for this type of areas, the best approach is to opt for a whole house dehumidifier since you cannot be 100% certain about the areas where condensation forms. However, if you only deal with bouts of water occasionally in certain parts of the house, then a portable unit would work just as well.   5. The ventilation system If you have had issues with mold and mildew growths in the past, then that represents a clear sign that you need a ventilation system. It is important to note that a good ventilation system is one able to transport the air outdoors and not to the attic of your home. In addition, you should analyze your ventilation solution on a regular basis, especially in the rooms exposed to moisture (bathroom and kitchen) to make sure that the device is working properly.     Page1 2 Related Posts: Top 10 Ways To Stay Warm During Winter Top 10 Things Kids Take From Parents' Home Top 10 Unhealthy Day-To-Day Habits We All Share Top 10 Reasons You Should Have A Continuity Plan Top 10 Home Survival Items

The World’s Top 10 Largest Casinos Posted: 10 Mar 2013 09:00 PM PDT Page1 2 The gambling industry took a big hit and has certainly lost a lot of business because of the recent economic situation affecting almost the entire world. The largest of the casinos have survived the troubling waters, and as the economic crisis curve slowly slopes downwards, the gambling corporations, and their gigantic casinos are now back in business and competing with each other. This list compiles information about the top 10 largest casinos in the world. Surprisingly, most of them are not located in Las Vegas; they are located in Macao, China. 1. The Venetian Macao (Macau, China) Square feet: 546,000 Table and poker games: 870 Gaming machines: 3,000 Hotel rooms: 3,000 Restaurants and bars: 24 Web site: venetianmacao.com The Venetian is a luxury casino resort and is over 546,000 sq. ft. on Macau’s Coastal Strip. Owned by Sheldon Adelson's Las Vegas Sands (LVS), this casino has an 870-table gaming floor, 3,000 gaming machines, 3 huge shopping areas, 4 pools, gondola rides, 24 world-class restaurants and bars along with 3,000 hotel rooms. A gamblers haven! It is well known because it is the flagship casino resort on Macau's bustling Cotai Strip. Based on its sister property in Las Vegas, the Venetian Macao is – as the name suggests – themed on the romantic streets and canals of Venice and is very family oriented. Naturally some of the romance is lost through the 3000 plus slot machines constantly flashing at you.   2. City of Dreams Casino (Macau, China)   Square feet: 420,000 Gaming machines: 1,350 Table and poker games: 520 Hotel rooms: 1,400 Restaurant and Bars: 14 Website: cityofdreamsmacau.com In contrast to their arch rival, the family oriented Venetian, City of Dreams is more romantic and couple oriented. Clearly marketed for singles and young couples, the mega resort is a motley mix of brash furnishings and bold contemporary design, like being on an MTV set. Every part of its property gives you a piece of action, from the bustling boutique driven Boulevard to the frantic lobby of the Hard Rock, from the packed foyer of the Dancing Water theatre to the scrum of humanity awaiting a glimpse of a mermaid at the Vquarium. The casino is truly one of a kind and a must see when in China. If you are staying at Venetian, peak into City of Dreams because it is located right beside the Venetian Macao and the soon to opened Sands Cotai. The Wynn Cotai is scheduled to be built right behind it as well. Without a doubt the loudest casino in Macau belongs to the City of Dreams, and I’m not talking about the background music. I’m talking about the sensory overload that hits you full force from the frenetic flashing floor. It’s not so much that the place is packed with people, but that it’s packed with lights, lights and more lights and a slew of decoration so abstract I don’t even know what half the stuff is supposed to be.   3.
