May 2010 rock!!

We hope you are spending this day surrounded by loved ones in a warm environment!

Enjoy yourself!

But don’t forget the spirit of sharing and giving through the new year coming up!

Well for those of you who still don’t have all of your gifts bought, my final bit of advice: go to the Pharmacy!

You will be plesently surprised what you might be able to find at your pharmacy: sports paraphernalia. digital picture frames, winter gear and even a variety of gift cards.

But for those of you are done your shopping and can relax, enjoy the holiday spirit!
Don’t party too much during the night, you don’t want to be too hungover when you are unwrapping your gifts in the mourning!
ENJOY YOURSELF!!

We do it one year and then promise ourselves the next year we will get all of our Christmas shopping done before December, so we wont have to deal with the huge crowds of anxious shoppers. But somewhere in the new year and the 11 months before the next Christmas season, we forget and when November comes along, we are too busy or think it is too early to start thinking about Christmas shopping.

There are some, that will never learn their lesson and their are others that once in a while get caught within the last minute blitz of Christmas shopping. The important thing to remember for everything is to stay calm! You will get through it and you can get through it without hurting anybody!

We all get so anxious and nervous when we need to get our gifts and so many other people are in our way, slowing us down, steeling the attention away from the store workers. Our nerves can easily break and we can come back home feeling worse then Scrooge.
Well here are a few tips to help the Christmas shopping go as smoothly as possible:

1. Think of your options:In this modern technological world, the internet can always be considered and option. Internet shopping, e-shopping, online-shopping, whatever you want to call it, can be your friend! You can browse through millions of articles in the comfort of your own home. Internet shopping (e-shopping or online shopping) lets you avoid the crowds, plus it gives you a wider variety of things to choose from. Furthermore, for those last minute e-shoppers you can always pay the little extra shipping and handling fee to make sure your gifts are in for Christmas. If your budget allows it, online shopping (e-shopping or internet shopping) might be your best bet. You wont deal with the crowds and you’ll be able to choose from a wide variety and wont have to here “sorry sir/miss we are all out of this item”. Online shopping is a great solution for the shopping procrastinator in all of us.
2. Decide a head of time: For those of us who cannot always rely on online shopping and forced to face the Christmas mobs, knowing what you are buying ahead of time can save you many troubles. Before stepping out of your house, you should know already what you want to buy. This will minimize your time walking around aimlessly in the stores. Plus if you grab the attention of a store worker, just tell him/her what you want, he/she will get it, and you will already be off to the counter to pay. Minimizing the amount of time you spend in a store is always a great tactic.
3. Window/magazine shop ahead of time: We are often not happy with the gifts we give because we think they lack originality. Often this is because we don’t have enough time to think of ideas. Without shopping in November, you can always start gathering ideas early on. At each time you pass by a store window or look through a magazine, you can spot ideas for the various people in your life and it is important to take a mental note. Remember, Remember, remember! Important people deserve special gifts!

The most important part is to be prepared! You can procrastinate all you want, but if your prepared, the shopping will go much more smoothly.

For you, late Christmas shoppers here are a few ideas:

Whether you’re an occasional Mr Fix-It or a professional contractor, the Jawhorse will clamp virtually anything you can think of. The Jawhorse’s serious clamping power lets you accomplish tasks that normally require two people on your own.

The strong and versatile Jawhorse can replace your workbenches, sawhorses, clamps, bench vises, your neighbor and much more. You can use it to hold work materials in place as you tackle jobs like setting fence posts, hanging doors, installing crown moldings, and placing new sheetrock overhead. Even odd-shaped objects like engine blocks can fit neatly in the Jawhorse’s grip.

You can hang doors or do anything that used to take two people on your own

The Jawhorse features a trademarked hands-free foot pedal that lets you apply up to one metric ton (2,200 pounds) of force, so you don’t have to worry about materials slipping while you work. And the jaws can be opened up to 37-inches wide, which is enough to hold most doors securely in place. This gives you maximum flexibility on the job.

The Jawhorse also eliminates the need for individual saw stands and complicated vices. A multitude of different saws can be locked into the sturdy jaws on this station, allowing you to make precise cuts quickly and safely without any awkward balancing of large boards or one-handed saw operations required. Patented rubber pads help keep you from denting or scratching wood the way you might using traditional vice clamps, making the Jawhorse ideal for finish work.

The Jawhorse features a solid construction made entirely of steel along with an extra-wide stance, providing exceptional strength and stability in a wide variety of situations. There aren’t any moving plastic parts to break. And with a unique, three-legged design, the Jawhorse is easier to balance on uneven terrain than traditional four-legged sawhorses and mobile workbenches.

The Jawhorse lets you hold awkward materials securely in place

The Jawhorse is incredibly simple to use. You just set it up, lock it in place, and clamp your project materials or tools down. This quick and easy setup makes the Jawhorse ideal for use on remote worksites and for people who don’t have the space in their busy home or apartment for a permanent workbench.

When not in use, the Jawhorse folds down to a compact 29 x 14 x 13 inches for easy transport or storage in a small closet. And weighing in at just 43 pounds, it is easy to lift in and out of work rigs.

When unfolded, an integrated roller makes it incredibly easy to move around the workshop or the jobsite. There are holes in two of the three feet so that you can choose to bolt the Jawhorse down for frequent use in your workshop or on big job sites that require more permanence.
