Bigger is Better It’s not a myth. It is absolutely true. Bigger is better and for many reasons. It’s impressive, it makes a statement and yes, it serves a purpose. Big Art (often referred to as Oversized Art) adds more color, more imagery and from a practical standpoint, more coverage. There’s a wow factor that comes with size. The first time you saw something that big, you had a visceral reaction. You said to yourself, now that’s exciting. I want that. Where can I get one of those? You wondered if (your walls) could handle it. You knew you had to have it. From that moment, you were on a mission to find the perfect one. Seeing it so big is mesmerizing. You simply can’t look at anything small ever again. Large art does the trick. It brings warmth, color and life to a room. Everything comes together in a masterful, feel good, I am complete way. You surrender every time you look at it; there’s a personal sense of accomplishment. I found it. Somehow, all the parts of the room become fused. The carpet or flooring, the drapes or shutters, the bedding or pillows all contribute in their own way, but the large framed art is the piece de resistance. The room comes together now.Big Art is that good.Multiple O’s Reign SupremeYears ago, back in our mothers’ day, multiples were rare. In fact, “O’s” were not even discussed. It’s as if nobody had them. They were not common, not spoken of and rarely experienced. You were lucky to get one. But with time and the European influence, we began to see the emergence of O’s (I’m referring to Oversized art of course). If one “O” was awesome – imagine having 2 or more? One of the hottest trends in wall art these days is the experience of multiples of Canvassed Art prints grouped or paired together on one wall. Framed Art Sets are powerful statements in home decor. They have become so popular that art publishers are offering a matching twin for many of their small to medium art prints. However, finding multiple art prints in larger sizes are not as common. Is the demand for multiples a simple case of wanting more or is there an inherent truth to its merits? A resounding yes. First and foremost, your home calls for large art. Some of your walls can handle more than one canvas artwork. Secondly, you love the look of art sets. Third, big art feels spectacular in the room. In a world that revolves around appealing to our senses, it is safe to say that more color, more contrast, more coverage offered by Large Art Sets is as rewarding as any experience that multiples provide.Art, Like Sex, Should Blow Your MindWe’re all looking for that “wow” moment. The instant that you experience the sensation created by the hands of another human being. It seems we’ve walked around for years, knowing it is out there but it has never affected us in any earth-shattering way. Until one day. That moment when you come across a piece of art that stops you in your tracks, your mouth drops, your eyes squint, your head tilts slightly, you’re in silence. An ooh or wow escapes your lips. You turn inward or to your partner and admit, “I like that. It feels good.” All those years you’ve never experienced what others have, you’ve never understood it and then, in an instant, you get it. You know what it’s like to see canvassed Art and be moved by it. It doesn’t matter what the context is; the colors, the imagery, the beauty. It has spoken to you. And you want to take it with you so that you may experience this feeling privately, in your own home. Art has finally touched you and because you are human, you want to experience it, over and over again.Stop Being an Art Virgin. Experience Art Today.

What Is the Best Health Insurance Plan for Me?
With all the health insurance options available today it can be overwhelming when it comes to choosing which health plan is right for you. In most of of the states there are close to a dozen health insurance companies offering health insurance and all of them offer anywhere from ten to thirty health plans. That means that there are hundreds of health coverage options available to you. To know which is the right health insurance plan is right for you, we have to take a look at your current situation. To pick a best health coverage you have to consider your age, your health, your past use of health insurance, are you single or a family, do you have young kids, are you planing on having kids, are you a men or a women, do you have a doctor that you like to go to. All of that comes in to the effect when it comes to know which is the right health plan for you.One of the main things to consider when it comes to choosing medical coverage is to know the difference in a health plan that covers maternity and the one that does not. That does not mean that you are planing or not planing on having kids. It means that health plans that cover maternity tend to cost more. That simply means why would you want to be on a plan that covers maternity if you are a single guy or some one that is not planing on having kids. Once you know that you want to health plans that does cover maternity then look for coverage that has a low deductible and within your budget. Not having adequate maternity coverage and planing on having kids can be very costly.The second biggest difference in the knowing which health plan is right for you is your budget. It does not matter what health plan covers if you cannot afford it or will not be able to afford it in the near future. This is why give yourself breathing room when it comes to choosing a health plans. That means if you are on the budget choosing a plan with a higher deductible. Most of the health plans that are available today cover preventative care, doctor office visits and prescription drugs before the deductible is met. In most cases deductible applies for outpatient and inpatient procedures, like surgeries and serious illnesses, where you need to be hospitalized. Having a health plan with a high deductible offers you a low monthly premium and in case of emergency you are still covered. In case you do end up in the hospital that last thing that you and hospital is going to worry is your deductible. Once you are taken care of and back on your feet every hospital will work with you on the deductible. That would involve either waiving, discounting or allowing you to make payments to pay off your deductible. What you will find out is that hospitals are flexible when it comes to collecting their balances. The main priority is getting you taken care of and getting you back on track. That it infinitely more important to pick medical coverage that you can afford then it is to have a lower deductible.Keeping your history of your health care use in your mind while comparing coverage also makes a big difference. If you are self-employed and like most self-employed people are you probably do not even have time to be sick. Therefore why pay high monthly premiums for health insurance because you wanted to low deductible or small co-pay just in case you need to go see a doctor. It does not make a lot of sense to be paying for somethings that you are barely going to use. Some plans offer you even lower monthly premium if you choose to pay for your regular doctor visits out of your own pocket. You are still going to be covered for any emergencies in the event you do end up in the hospital. Paying for what you are going to use is the basic money management. Every medical plan covers for inpatient/outpatient hospitalization and all other benefits are like add ones at the higher premium. The two things to always keep in mind while comparing plans is your past usage and your budget. We all would like to health plan that would covers everything with a low monthly premium. It is like saying I want to drive a Mercedes and I have a budget for Honda.
Practice Water Conservation With Irrigation and Mulch
As we near the end of summer and thoughts of getting our children back to school and making those last minute end of season trips abound, we also need to spend time on our lawns and making sure that it is prepped for the coming fall. Homeowners in today’s green-conscious world have quickly turned more and more to the most efficient lawn care methods that will translate into savings for our wallets. Beyond saving money is water conservation, which affects both us and the environment we live in.In this article, we will focus on irrigation and mulch, two areas of lawn care that should be considered for all homeowners with the desire to conserve and decrease water consumption and a cost-efficient way to cultivate the lawn and landscape.IrrigationLawn sprinklers and irrigation systems are known to be quite wasteful, consuming two or three times more water than the water used indoors. Experts report that much of the water applied to a lawn is lost due to poor application practices, high evaporation, uneven distribution, and excessive runoff. To combat these lawn ails, an efficient irrigation (or sprinkler) system and watering schedule is necessary.Irrigation TechniquesTo make the best use of irrigation, divide your plants up into groups or zones with the same watering needs. Lawns, plants in containers, vegetable beds and fruit orchards may need more water than other plants such as trees, shrubs, perennials, and bulbs. Your irrigation system should reflect your different plants’ watering requirements and only fulfill what is absolutely necessary to maintain your greenery. Be sure to understand your watering zones and check that these systems are not giving too much or too little water to the plants or lawn area.An efficient watering system such as drip or soaker hoses can be used to minimize water loss through evaporation or runoff. Lawn experts further recommend that, for reducing evaporation, operate your irrigation system during the cooler hours of the early morning rather than during the heat of the day or in windy weather.Turf would be best irrigated with sprinklers, since infrequent, but deep watering can encourage deeper root growth and greater tolerance of soil moisture fluctuations. Keep in mind that about 1.5 inches of water are needed per week for the summer. If you are not sure how much water your system is delivering to your plants, simply place a bowl or a cup in the area before the sprinkler system comes on then remove it when the system cuts off. Then all you have to do is measure the collected water. If this amount is more or less than the recommended amount, adjust your system accordingly.Maintain Your SystemIt is important to not only make sure sure your irrigation is working efficiently to get your plants and lawn the water they need, but also crucial to check up on your irrigation system to be certain that it’s functioning correctly. This includes checking the system for leaks, broken heads, faulty valves, and other malfunctions. You may also want to check that water isn’t being misdirected onto sidewalks, driveways, or streets.MulchMulch can act as both a protection for your plants from the heat as well as an agent to trap and retain moisture. With water conservation a big issue for homeowners, mulch is more important than ever as a way to efficiently keep your plants healthy and protect from harsh conditions. Mulching helps to maintain a more consistent soil temperature and can also control weeds that may otherwise consume water meant for garden plants.While you may not be able to control your water consumption all the time, you can definitely make an impact on both your water bill and your local community by following lawn care methods that are focused around water conservation and efficient cultivation methods.
