The right rawhide lamp shade can make a perfect lamp. But the wrong size shade can make a beautiful lamp look out of balance. And ordering the wrong size lampshade is inconvenient and expensive. Make the right choice the first time.

Our specialty is rustic lighting and southwestern rawhide lamp shades but the technique we use will work with any lamp shade, rawhide or otherwise. Give it a try to help choose the right shade for your lamp even before you order. Follow this die casting Manufacturer simple procedure to help make the right choice the first time.

First, we need to understand how lampshades are measured. You will need three measurements, bottom diameter, top diameter and height. The height of a shade should be measured straight up and down vertically?not along the slant.

Measuring Tip #1: The reason we measure height up and down, "vertically" is that the height measurement of your lamp from bulb socket base to top of harp is probably the minimum vertical height you will want to cover with your shade.

Measuring Tip #2: The height of your lamp can be adjusted with a shorter or taller harp to be able to use a standard shade rather than ordering a custom lampshade in many cases.

Now, here is the trick to ordering the right shade. You probably have an idea of the approximate size, so simply consult a list of rawhide lamp shades and select the one you are considering. Each shade's measurements should be listed as described above.

Next, make a simple two-dimensional "flat" pattern the size of the shade out of paper or cardboard. For example, use the lower edge of the cardboard for the base line. Measure up the height of the shade and draw a horizontal line parallel to the base line which will represent the top edge of the shade. Now draw a vertical line straight up and down from the base line to the top edge line. If you imagine the base line, vertical line and top edge line as the capital letter "I" you are on the right track.

The next step is to mark the top and bottom dimensions of the shade on your pattern so that you get the correct slant for the edge of the shade. From the center line measure and mark the top diameter of the shade. If the top diameter is 5" then measure to the left and right of the center line along the top edge line 2.5" on both sides and make a mark. Those points are the top corners of your pattern. Repeat along the baseline using the shade's bottom diameter. If it seems confusing, it's really not, but very simple and quick. See our full color shade measuring graphic for a visual aid.

Finally, cut out the pattern and have someone hold it in place over the lamp, while you step back and look. Even though it is flat, you will be able to get a feel for how the shade will look on your lamp and order with confidence. It's not full proof but it is a quick and easy way to make sure that you are on the right track in your shade size selection. This simple idea has helped our clients save a lot of aggravation and money over the years and we trust it will benefit you too.

For a person who grew up with street lights on every corner, traffic lights at intersections, and porch lights that could spot Carnegie Hall, my understanding of 'the dark? didn't begin to match what dark began to look like at this farm.  By seven-thirty I was out of the writing business in the living room, since I foolishly neglected to bring along a table lamp.  I began my inspection of the two empty bedrooms, finally deciding upon the one with the strongest overhead light. It faced the road, the hills, and nothing beyond, except perhaps that cemetery I couldn't help noticing as we drove by.  There was the mirror hanging on the outside of the closet door, which I was afraid would scare the hell out of me when I accidentally saw my own image. But I took the risk.  I followed the light, and moved my laptop, chair, and table.

As my luck would have it, I needed a three prong adapter to plug in, but I hadn't brought that either.  So I operated on my battery, hoping my husband would return from the fields before my power drained down.  I hoped not to be found mumbling the word hotel into the black computer screen.  I concentrated on my work, and ignored the draining light outside.  Soon enough, the only life I saw was my image in that mirror, and now it actually comforted me.  I recognized the good and brave woman, the one who knew it was good to have journeyed to the hills of Port Allegheny for her anniversary.  She lived on the edge, without a table led street light housing lamp, without the internet, without an adapter, or even fresh fruit.  I vowed be more like her.

From my city-girl perspective I was totally vulnerable.  Cats, wild dogs, even black bears were able to observe me through the uncovered window, and I couldn't see them.  Any attacker sneaking up on me could yell ?boo? and have the advantage.  I knew there were still friendly horses in the field, and my husband was out there somewhere, but for now, everything including the nearby trees, had completely vanished.  The window was nothing but a black rectangle'so long as I applied no imagination.  I considered opening the bottle of home-made wine we brought along, but I was determined to use my time writing instead of envisioning dead people, drooling wolves, or even black, vampire cats.  The bars on my cell phone were disappearing, and I contemplated the ineffectiveness of throwing my tiny, toy phone at any living intruder.  It would be undoubtedly wiser to smash something with my folding table I suspected.  As if on cue, ?Stars and Stripes Forever? blared out of the phone in my fist, reverberating loudly against the walls of the empty room, driving me straight up out of my chair.  My husband was calling to warn me he was coming in, so I wouldn't be startled.

I have never been so delighted to see another human.  He was back in one piece, it was nine-forty p.m., and I didn't have to be brave in the wilderness again until morning.  He opened the bottle of wine, and we headed outside with our paper cups to look at the moon and myriad celestial bodies invisible from our home in metropolitan New Jersey.  Carefully, I attempted to drink my wine and walk on the bumpy dirt road, while staring at the sky.  I felt myself small and shrinking.  I saw my moon shadow. A stranger to country nights, everywhere I looked I saw nothing, absolutely nothing in the distance.  No roads, no houses, no street lights.  No planes passing overhead.  It was only by looking up that I could even be sure I of where I stood.

My first yard was about the size of a double bed.  I could not have imagined becoming a farmer's wife, yet here I was, listening to the roar of a wild beast.  My husband explained the sound as a horse's whinny, and pointed to where they were grazing happily.  I asked about the occurrence of black bears, wondering out loud what would happen if I decided to cook Italian and left the kitchen window open.  He shook his head.  They generally ate his corn he reminded me.  But it wasn't really the wild animals that kept me awestruck.  It was never having known such peace and quiet under the stars, and not understanding how to conform.  It was the lack of light anywhere but down from the heavens.  It was the feeling of being totally cut off from the world when the world I knew included teenagers, air traffic, and cable TV.  But even if at first I couldn't seem to stay out of fight or flight mode, I was still glad I had come.  In this rural location, where cats congregated, horses spoke their minds, and light evaporated suddenly, I was mentally detoxifying.  And I was no longer shaking.

"Classical Greece", meaning, authoritative: of recognized authority or excellence; "the definitive work on Greece"; or, relating to the most highly developed stage of an earlier civilization and its culture.

This interpretation of the term "classic" clearly defines the Greece of 500 BC, which has constantly re-inspired the Western world. The well known Athenian Acropolis, the temple to Athena, being a perfect example of classical Greek architecture.

At various periods thought history, revivals of the superb designs of Greek classicism have emerged in art and design and particularly, architecture. Architectural styles have been inspired by elements of ancient Greek temples, with the use of massive marble Corinthian and Doric columns, decorative friezes and grand stair cases.

These revisits are generally known today as periods of "Greek Revival". These movements were dominant from about the middle of the 18th century, lasting, almost until the close of the 19th century, 1750 - 1890.

When speaking of design and the visual arts, the neoclassical movement, or the turning back to the classic, can be dated to about c1765 with its introduction generally seen as a reaction to the restraints of the former styles of the Baroque and Rococo, both of which were heavy with form and ornamentation.

The neo classical style can be seen as a desire to go back to the perceived purity and clean lines of ancient Greece. In France, this classical style became known as the style "Etruscan" and was much favored by the court of Louis XV and XVI.

From the late 18th century and up until about 1830 the style greatly influenced designers, peaking through the early years of the 19th century. Interior and furniture designers began to design and produce Greek style tables, chairs, wall hangings, pottery, silver and even coaches. These were all designed in the new classical Greek style, with simple lines and decorative elements drawn from the repertoire of Greco-Roman ornament, particularly from Greek vase painting and from classical architecture, i.e. architectural motifs such as the repetitive Greek key, palmettes and Acanthus leaf.

The typical colour range of this neoclassic revival included black motifs outlined against terra cotta and Pompeian red, powder blue, puce and olive, these colours sometimes used in a single décor.

With the exception of porcelain and pottery of the period, when we see these colours today, they appear as pastels. We forget that these objects have been exposed to over 200 years of sunlight with original interiors having long since faded.

From about 1800, European archeology was "discovering" ancient Greece, with new design elements being literally brought to the surface! In 1806, Lord Elgin transported architectural elements of the Parthenon from Athens to London; events like this having the effect of lifting neoclassicism to new heights. Many artists were now taking the path to Greece and a steady flow of sketches and die casting housing manufacturers engravings were now making their way north. The style swept across Europe, now variously known in France, as the Neo-Grec and Empire style, in England as the Regency style and in Russia as Empire style, with its influence felt not only in architecture and design, but in literature, theatre and music.

The Greek revival had a profound influence on architecture, an influence which lasted well into the 19th century. In fact, it was not until the 1840's that the term "Greek Revival" was used, believing to have been first used by Charles Cockerell, Professor of Architecture, in a lecture delivered to the Royal Society in 1842.

The style lasted well into the 1860's, especially in North America. The revival saw the construction of many banks, courthouses and other large public buildings including private houses designed on the grand scale. From an architectural perspective, it was held to reflect intellect, prosperity and stability, with the use of grand porticos supported by stately columns, reminiscent of Greek temples.

With the decorative arts, the revival was again strengthened in the 1860-1870 period. At this date, of course, we are talking of the high Victorian period, with design now characterised by a Victorian robustness. Throughout this late revival decade, art and design again swung toward the neoclassical, although this time without the early 19th century slenderness and elegant fine lines.

This article is illustrated with a French lamp from the late revival period and includes its formal description -:

A very rare, French, 19th century, black matte glazed, terra cotta lamp decorated with a classical Greek subject. The lamp derived from the style of the Bucchero, Etruscan, terra cotta vases of classical Greek antiquity, circa 500 B.C. These vases, characteristically painted with highly glazed black figures on a grey-black ground.

The lamp of amphora shape, an oval body with a narrow neck and curved handles. The amphora supported on a short socle and standing on a circular base. This shape was introduced by the "Bucchero potter", Nikosthenes in about 530 B.C

The subject of the decoration, Triptolemus, the legendary mortal of Greek mythology, much favoured by the gods. Demeter, goddess of agriculture, consecrates Triptolemus, the son of Celeus, "King of Eleusis". Demeter, with her daughter, Persephone, Goddess of Spring Growth, instructing him in the art of agriculture. From Triptolemus the rest of Greece learned to plant and reap crops.

Triptolemus flew across the land in a winged chariot, a gift of the goddesses, to complete his mission. The decoration with highly glazed black figures, shows Triptolemus seated in his winged chariot and holding his attribute, a sceptre of ears of corn, the goddess Demeter passing him implements of agriculture.

The reverse side of the lamp decorated with Demeter, the grain and fertility goddess and Persephone, goddess of Spring growth and Queen of the underworld, the goddesses holding Eleusinian torches and sheaves of wheat. Demeter shown standing by her altar, within the temple, built in her honour by Triptolemus.

The lamp standing on a custom made stepped, circular, gold plated, bronze base, the base rim enamelled in black. The lamp cap of custom made, gold plated bronze.

The lamp shown with a company, custom made, box pleated lamp shade in black and terra cotta silk.

Circa 1865   Overall height including shade 23" / 58.5cm

The lamp produced in Greek Etruscan style, with a black matte ground selectively polished to produce the classical Greek subject. This example also demonstrates the attention to detail and quality of workmanship of this Victorian expansionist period.

The descriptive term, "neoclassical" giving way to the term "Greek revival" and accepted as being prominent from c1765 - c1870, saw the rebirth of classical Greek architectural elements, extending into the decorative arts, interior design, literature and music.

This elegant, fine lined style has never been surpassed and is constantly revisited by every aspect of design, architectural, interior design and fashion.

The ability to solve complicated problems quickly is more important than ever in today's tough economy.

From the time we're little kids, we're taught to solve problems by trial and error. That's fine if the problem is as simple as a burned out light bulb. When the problem is a muddle of business, technical and political die casting Manufacturer problems, we need something that helps us untangle the mess. Unless you're Harry Potter, treating a mess like a burned out light bulb is as effective as wishing for magic.

Fortunately, there are alternatives to magic. Many key concepts in problem solving seem obvious but are often overlooked, causing delays and frustration in getting important problems solved. Here are some tips and reminders that will help you solve messy problems quickly and easily.

** Define the problem first. Explain what the problem is?what went wrong, what are the symptoms, what is the impact on your business. Write it down. Everyone who reads it should understand what the problem is and why it's important. Caution: describe the problem, not what you will do to fix it.

** Use your time for problems that are truly important. Just because a problem is there doesn't mean you have to solve it. If you ask, ?what will happen if I don't solve this problem?? and the answer is, ?not much,? then turn your attention to something more important.

** Test your assumptions about everything. Check the facts first. Be sure that you and your team understand the problem the same way, and that you have data to confirm that the problem is important. Test the assumptions about proposed solutions to improve the chances your solution will actually solve the problem.

** Measure. The key question to answer is, ?How will you know when the problem is solved?? If you don't measure, you won't know for sure. Use measurements to learn and portray the truth'the real truth, not what you wish were true.

** Measure the right things. A common measurement trap is to measure something because it's ?interesting.? If knowing a measurement won't change anything (e.g., help you make a decision, verify an assumption or prove the problem is solved), then don't waste your time measuring it.

Streetwear, sometimes called street style fashion includes the way people under the hip hop culture dress themselves. It consists of certain elements with each having their own meaning since there is history linked to the culture. We may well see such large clothing Ningbo Die Casting Man Certificates like baggy pants and large XXL t-shirts, more suitable to the practice of b-boying break dancing. Athletic shoes are, in the same way, an essential element in the panoply of the B-boy culture. The life of gangster criminals has also influenced street stylefashion: the bandana is sometimes taken from them as well. 

The absence of cords or belts that makes the pants fit below the waist is due to the life in prison, where every object at the risk of encouraging suicide was confiscated.In 1976, in southern California where it remains unchanged, skateboarding forever shaped the sport, culture and style. Through this, Vision Street Wear arose. It was a different brand that quickly understood the natural connection between music and the skateboarding culture. In the championships organized by the brand, a previously unknown group called Red Hot Chili Peppers played. And in the ranks of professional skaters, big names like Mark “Gator” Rogowski, Steve Rocco, Marty “Jinx” Jimenez, and Mark Gonzales were included. By the early 90s, the influence of the brand’s aesthetics and philosophy began to decline due to the changes the skateboarding culture went through in that decade. Today, Vision Street Wear is a clothing company whose license is maintained by a company called the Collective Licensing International that is dedicated to sell shoes, skateboards, different accessories and retro-flavored vintage items.Hip hop fashion is a distinctive style of dressing up, originating from the African-American youth on the streets of New York, Los Angeles, Orlando, Chicago, Philadelphia, the San Francisco Bay Area, Detroit, Memphis, Atlanta, Jersey City and Miami among others.

Hip hop fashion has changed significantly during its history. And today, it is a prominent part of popular fashion as a whole across the world and all ethnicities.In the East Coast, members of the hip hop community looked back to the gangsters of the 1930s and 1940s for inspiration. Mafiosi influences, especially and primarily inspired by the 1983 remake version of “Scarface,” became popular in hip hop. Many rappers put on gang-inspired clothing in favor of classic gangster fashion such as bowler hats, double-breasted suits, silk shirts, and alligator skin shoes. One sportswear trend that emerged in hip hop street style fashion was the rise in the popularity of throwback jerseys such as those produced by Mitchell & Ness. 

Sports jerseys have always been popular in hip hop fashion. The hip hop fashion trends of the 2000s were all over the place and changed constantly. During these years, there was a heavy celebrity influence among fashion trends. Hip Hop artists made brands like Gucci and Louis Vinton popular amongst the hip hop community, where most initially used hip hop as a way to a better life.Throughout these years, many fashion trends from the 80s and early 90s were made popular again when we see the rebirth of the door knocker earrings and form fitting jeans for males.

It is a natural and sophisticated style closely connected to the street style fashion that has evolved since the eighties trends of its fist incarnations, influenced by hip hop and B-boy culture, to its approach to other fads like punk, glam rock and even the neo-gothic.

You're about to learn three "power tips" for burning fat that fitness models, athletes, & high profile personal trainers use to bring out those sexy abs, arms, & thighs in no time...

Honestly, I'm a little sick and tired of hearing the same old "top ten fat loss tips" circulating in magazines and on websites...

You're smart enough to realize that regular exercise and dieting will help you lose fat, but you're looking for better advice, something powerful yet easy to follow. The following tips offer the solution you've been looking for:

Tip 1:

Replace breads, pastas, & rice with fruits and vegetables. No, this is not the atkins diet, because you are not avoiding carbs, you're just replacing the "types" of carbs you eat.

Fruits and vegetables provide a very fast burning source of carbohydrates, which means that they are used up by your body for energy rather than being stored and converted to fat.

Basically, by eating fruits and vegetables, you'll have a lot of energy throughout the day...

Conventional sources of carbs, such as breads, rice, & pasta, are notoriously slow burning sources of carbs, and eventually convert to fat if not fully utilized for energy.

Additionally, most breads and pasta are highly processed and un-nutritious, so its not a good idea to consume them for proper nutrition reasons anyways.

Lastly, fruits and vegetables are 70-80% water, which means that by eating them you'll stay properly hydrated throughout the day. Also, they are high in fiber and enzymes, so consuming them throughout the day led high mast lamp factory literally causes the fat to "melt away".

As a general rule, eat at least 10 servings of fruits and vegetables a day! Whenever you have a craving for something sweet, grab a fruit! Don't underestimate the power of this tip, it is one of the well-kept secrets of fitness models, bodybuilders, and celebrities worldwide.

Tip 2:

Drink at least 16 glasses of PURIFIED water a day.

The truth is, 8 glasses is okay for the average person, but if you want to burn fat as quickly as possible, 16 glasses will get the job done.

Water helps to supercharge your cells, flush out harmful toxins, and boost your metabolism.

Consuming a lot of water makes it hard for the fat to "stick" to your body. However, this doesn't mean that you can pig out and expect the water to flush away all the fat.

Additionally, by drinking 16 glasses of water a day, you most likely won't have a need for coffee, since your energy and concentration levels will rise.

Be careful, because tap water is not a good choice. Ideally, you want to drink purified water, either through a commercial filter or boiled. Your very best bet, by far, is natural spring water, since it has the balance of minerals that mother-nature has perfected.

Boxers and athletes drink tons of water a few weeks before "game time", to get as lean as possible...

Tip 3:

Do 20 Minutes of Light Resistance Training Before Your Cardio...

If you want to burn up to 200% more fat during you aerobic or cardio workout routine, then you must do a light session of weight lifting or resistance training for about 20 minutes.

Your body does not burn fat for the first 20 minutes of any exercise! Thats right, if you run for 20 minutes without doing any exercise before-hand, you will only be burning glycogen, not fat. Glycogen is the source of energy used by your muscles.

Basically, you have to elevate your heart rate for at least 20 minutes before your body starts burning fat...

The best way to elevate your heart rate and kick-start your metabolism is to do light resistance training for about 20 minutes before your cardio routine. What this does is two things:

1) You break that 20 minute "plateau" your body needs to start burning fat.

2) You raise your metabolism 100-200%, which means that while you do your cardio/aerobic routine, you'll literally burn up to twice more fat.

Resistance, or weight training boosts your metabolism like no other form of exercise, often for a period of 24 hours or more. So, your body will burn fat even while you sleep, as your muscles recover overnight.

Now you know why all those successful "aerobic videos" usually make you use resistance bands or small dumbbells as part of the workout routines.

You can use resistance bands, free weights, or machines. Keep in mind that you must do "light" resistance training so you still have plenty of energy to run or do cardio.

To see fast results from your workout routines, definitely follow this strategy for maximum fat loss.

RECAP: Okay, so lets summarize the three "power tips" for rapid fat loss:

1) Replace breads, pasta, & vegetables with fruits and vegetables

2) Drink 16 glasses of purified water or spring water a day

3) Do 20 minutes of light weight lifting (resistance training) before your cardio routine

The only thing left now is for you to go out and "get em' tiger". These specific strategies will drop the pant sizes and bring out the curves faster than you can buy a new wardrobe.

The regular patrons at the time, were neighborhood people too; all of whom seemed to have nicknames. (although, the nicknames were useful for identification purposes). There was Joe the Lawyer, who wasn’t a lawyer at all, but worked as an insurance investigator. Then there was John the Lawyer, who was a stockbroker, and John the Lawyer, who really was a lawyer with an office across the street. And I was always confused about Mary the Nurse, whose nickname seemed unnecessary; she was indeed a nurse, but she was the only regular named Mary.Then there were the rest of the regulars: mostly young men ,who fancied themselves to be wise guys. Their conversations were peppered with phrases like ‘fuggeddaboudit,’ and ‘ba-da-bing!’ And they often talked about ‘needing to see this guy,’ or ‘having to take care of that thing.’ But despite the fact that they revered Robert DiNiro, and may have harbored dreams of being known by a nickname like “extreme unction,” the Adapter Manufacturers most serious crime any of them may ever have committed was betting on the Red Sox late in September.When these local heros weren’t talking about ‘this guy,’ or ‘that thing,’ though, the conversation tended to stray toward food; often, toward Chicken Scarpariello. This was a hot dish—literally, and figuratively—during my years in Boston. 

And the folks often debated the qualities of one preparation over another. The talk often centered around the merits of Cantina d’Italia’s recipe, that included sausage, over Felicia’s, that didn’t. Sausage or not, though, Chicken Scarpariello is the kind of dish that would please any wise guy because it encourages eating with a fork in one hand an a torn-off piece of crusty bread in the other; the latter, used for sopping up the sauce, and for punctuating various exclamations of ‘fuggeddaboudit,’ or ‘ba-da-bing.’The short version of the history of Chicken Scarpariello, ‘shoemaker’s-style’, is that it was named for the humble fellow who cobbled together the ingredients for the dish from his meager pantry. How it became a wise guy favorite is more obscure, and very likely lost to history. But I suggest that when you serve Chicken Scarpariello at home, the dinner table conversation will become animated and rise a decibel or two above normal. And will you and your fellow diners enjoy it? Fuggeddaboudit.Skip’s Chicken ScarparielloChicken, Shoemaker's-StyleExcerpted from my second cookbook, "Almost Italian."Ingredients:2 ½ — 3 Lb.
