Office desk chair buying guide
Any kind of office work typically entails spending a majority of your 8-hour day sitting in a chair at your desk. And this kind of position can add tremendous stress to your spine structure. If you want to avoid compounding or developing back problems, there’s one thing you need right away — an ergonomic, comfortable desk chair that supports your back and provides you with decent posture. Of course, a quick search is enough to show you that picking your new office chair isn’t as simple as it may sound. There are countless office chairs available, especially online — and there’s no single model or type of office chair that’s the best choice for everyone. Rather, you need to consider the different features found in high-quality office chairs, weigh them against your particular needs, and choose the one that suits you the most. Important office chair features Lumbar support Adjustability Wheel baseSwivel base Fabric Comfort Aesthetic appeal Don’t worry, though — we’re here to make that choice easier with an in-depth buying guide for office desk chairs! Adjustability You will find that plenty of companies freely label their products as “ergonomic chairs” — but that’s not always the case. The loose meaning of this term means that all kinds of marketing language can be used, even for chairs that aren’t necessarily constructed with posture in mind. And it’s not about the precise type of chair either — a well-designed drafting chair can be ergonomic, as long as it was created with enough adjustability. A regular, non-ergonomic chair has fixed seat heights or armrests — while ergonomic ones allow for adjustments according to your needs. Plenty of gaming chairs provide a lot of adjustability; for instance, this ergonomic gaming chair has not only adjustable armrests, but an extendable footrest as well. On the other hand, this comfy linen executive chair has adjustable height — which is pretty much the most important aspect of ergonomics. Still, there are other important adjustable features as well — depending on the manufacturer and model, ergonomic chairs have between 5 and 14 different adjustable features. Not all of them are equally important, but the one that matters the most to you depends on the most problematic aspects of your specific posture. In general, you want to look for adjustable back and seat angles, proper tension control, arm height and width, and crucially — lumbar support. Lumbar support The most common posture issue that office workers suffer with are lower back problems. That’s why a proper office chair will provide ample and adjustable lumbar support, allowing users to adjust the chair to the needs of their lower back. This is essential for stopping chronic back strain that can lead to debilitating conditions such as sciatica. That’s why even chairs without backs consider lumbar support — for instance, today’s swivel standing desk chairs are often designed with cotton padding that’s specifically shaped to provide a decent back posture, rather than a traditional small flat seat. Also, bear in mind that the bigger back height of executive office chairs doesn’t always guarantee proper back support — make sure your tall executive office chair has a backrest that isn’t just large, but also specifically designed for lumbar support. Wheel base These days, pretty much every office chair has a wheelbase. However, depending on your office or home flooring, you want to get a chair whose wheelbase is specifically suited to that flooring. Also, there are plenty of ergonomic office chairs that come with nylon-hooded castors that sit on sturdy metal bases — allowing the chairs to easily glide regardless of whether they’re placed on a carpet or other type of flooring. Fabric Your chair’s fabric is one of the most important features you’ll consider before buying — you want a multi-position chair that was upholstered with a breathable fabric. That will prevent the chair from becoming too uncomfortable and hot after a couple of hours of you sitting in it. On the other hand, you don’t want the fabric to be flimsy — black mesh chairs are great in this regard, because they remain breathable even with a sturdy material. Comfort All of the things we’ve mentioned above are aspects of a chair’s design that are supposed to provide you with a good posture. And considering the long hours many of us spend sitting in office chairs, it’s definitely the most important feature of any chair. However, good posture means nothing if the chair is rigid enough to make sitting in it uncomfortable. That’s why chair designers always play a careful balancing act between comfort and ergonomics — after all, if the chair annoys you, even if you’re technically in a neutral posture, you won’t be able to concentrate on your work. Armrests that are too rough, a back that’s too narrow, a seat that’s too small — these are just some of the many things that can make a gorgeous chair basically useless. On the other hand, a high-quality office chair will be as comfortable as it is ergonomic. In fact, you can find massage office chairs that provide you with a dose of much-needed relaxation in the middle of a tense day. Aesthetic appeal At the end of the day, the most practical chair in the world won’t do you much good if it’s ugly to look at. And don’t think aesthetic appeal is only important in terms of tufted executive chairs that higher-ups use as a part of their office decor. The look of your chair will definitely influence your mood, and thus the quality of your work. There’s a reason why chairs used by the gaming community are often colorful and extremely flashy — this design fits into the overall aesthetic of their activities. On the other hand, office desk chairs usually fit into their space without being too disruptive — many of them have a more neutral design, intended to complement the rest of the decor rather than stand out. -
How to Save Money Raising Backyard Chickens
If you are like most new chicken owners, you fell in love with the idea of getting yourself a cute flock of backyard chickens and then quickly found out that you were spending way more money than you thought. First off, realize that these feelings are completely normal and it happens to all of us! However, unlike everyone else, by the time you are done reading this article you are going to learn the secrets to saving money while tending your flock. Skip the Frills Expensive Calcium Booster Supplements This is completely unnecessary if you give your chickens a balanced diet. Some chicken owners will try to argue that purchasing things like pricey ground oyster shells is necessary to have just in case their chickens begin to lay eggs that don’t have strong shells. The truth is that the key ingredient calcium carbonate, found in ground oyster shells, is already abundant in their quality standard feed. The first step toward helping your chickens strengthen their eggs is to feed them dairy-based simple kitchen scraps, like cheese and milk. Although, be sure not to go overboard because too much diary will give your chickens diarrhea. If that still doesn’t help increase the strength of their shells, just dry out and grind up their own egg shells to feed it back to them. While this may sound odd, it is completely natural. The best part is that the egg shells are 100% free! Save Money on Feed Feed Leftovers Chickens are omnivores, which means that they eat both vegetables and meat. This is great news for us because you can give your chickens a free meal while reducing the amount of food waste in your household. Just be sure to feed your backyard chickens a healthy selection of table scraps each time. Feel free to feed your backyard chickens things like: vegetables, meat, yogurt, sunflower seeds, oatmeal, rice, cereal, cheese, milk and whey. Stay away from feeding your backyard chickens things like: junk food, uncooked beans, avocado peels and potato peels. Free Range If you have both the space and the grass, let your little chickens scratch around a bit. They will be digging up nutritious little bits to eat like: grass, weeds, worms, and insects. The most important thing to remember is that the more that you let your backyard chickens free range, the less you will need to feed them the store bought food. Saving while Staying Warm Fix the Ventilation Placing a heater in an enclosed coop during the winter can not only be dangerous, but can also very expensive. While using a flashlight, check your coop for any holes or separations where the wood meets. If you find that the light is shining on the opposite end, your coop is suffering from a poor ventilation issue. This is the equivalent of leaving your bedroom window slightly open at night on a snowy night. Brrr, no thanks! Fill the gaps with caulk until you seal up any unnecessary spaces. As a test, try and use your flashlight again to see if any light comes pouring out of the other side. If not, your job is complete. For more information on keeping your backyard chickens warm in the winter, check out our post: Tips for How to Care for Chickens in the Winter. Buying Extra Nesting Boxes 1 Chicken + 1 Box ≠ Zero Problems Let’s be honest, one of the main reasons that we have chickens is so that we can enjoy some of those delicious homegrown eggs. So we do everything possible to make sure that our chickens are happy and healthy. We even make sure that each chick has their own bunk. Photo credit: Myasoinfo Unfortunately, chickens can be fickle about their accommodations. To be honest, I didn’t know what I expected. Even if I put their names on the front of their nesting boxes, it’s not like each chicken would line up orderly to their assigned bunks. It doesn’t matter if you filled each corner of your coop with nesting boxes, your chickens are going sleep on the floor and fight over particular nesting boxes for no reason. Just know that this behavior is normal, irrational chicken behavior. Entertainment and Toys With urban farming and raising backyard chickens becoming quite popular these last few years, we have seen the emergence of some pretty wacky toys meant for your chickens. Now before you buy your chicken the latest iPad take a step back and just look at your chickens. They don’t need any fancy or high tech devices. Chickens that are allowed to free range are as happy as can be. Just look at all of the fun that your chickens are having when you aren’t there: If you want to make some toys at home for your chickens to entertain themselves, try your hand at some of these classics: 1) Take a single piece of rope and hang a head of cabbage just low enough off the ground so that your chickens need to jump to get at the cabbage. 2) Once the chickens eat all of the cabbage off of the rope just leave the rope there for a few days. You’ll notice that some of the chickens will jump and use the rope as a swing. 3) You truly haven’t felt pure joy until you surprise your chickens with a pile of garden weeds, raked leaves and some feed sprinkled throughout the pile. Though I have a feeling that you will be more entertained than the chickens. Raising backyard chickens does not need to be an expensive affair. With a little bit of planning and imagination, you will be able to make your chickens happier while saving some extra money at the same time.

Ride-on toys and rocking horses buying guide for parents
As kids start growing up, they start needing different toys — ideally, toys that will help them hone and develop the necessary skills in life. For example, when children start walking, a rocking horse is a great toy to help them achieve elementary balance and learn how to coordinate with their arms and legs. And once they master the art of basic movement, they begin being drawn to toys that allow them a feeling of faster motion — like ride-on cars, scooters, and go-karts. After all, that’s why we love adult-sized vehicles as well; they’re simply fun. With that in mind, it’s no wonder your kid starts asking for a toy bike or car as soon as they realize such toys exist. They’ve got lights, noises, and some cool gadgets — even a kid who hasn’t seen a real car up to that point would be intrigued. However, choosing the right ride-on cars and rocking horses that will be the perfect fit for your child is not always simple. And that’s why we’ve prepared a buying guide for curious parents! Important toy features Proper balance Safety features Design Voltage Ease of control Other fun features Proper balance When you’re picking the best ride-on toy or rocking horse for your child, one of the most important features you need to keep in mind is the toy’s balance — you want models with wheels that are wide apart and a ride-on car with a sufficiently low center of gravity, particularly for toddlers. Younger kids that don’t have as much experience with ride-on toys can easily tip them over if you get a toy that doesn’t provide enough balance on its own. This is where the size of the toy also comes into play — make sure you pick something that’s appropriate for your kid’s height, weight, and age; the last thing you want is for them to be cramped while riding or driving. For example, this Lamborghini-licensed ride-on car is a superb choice, but only for children between 3 and 6 years of age. Safety features We’ve already touched on this slightly while talking about balance, but it’s worth exploring the question of safety in these kinds of toys further. When you’re buying something for your kids, safety is pretty much your primary concern — and that goes double when you’re getting them a small electric vehicle or a rocking horse. This is particularly important for ride-on toys, as they need to have sufficiently powerful and responsive brakes so that your kids can stop in front of an obstacle — or allowing you to stop for them using the remote control. That’s why even the most robust models like this kids’ SUV truck has firm seatbelts for both of its seats. It’s worth noting that this doesn’t just concern the toy itself. Even if you buy them the safest ride-on toy on the market, ensure your kids know how to properly operate it by teaching them in detail. Also, provide them with protective gear like gloves and helmets — and most crucially, never leave them unsupervised while they’re riding around, at least when they’re younger. Design While choosing the right ride-on toy for your kids requires you to think about plenty of practicalities like safety and manufacturing quality — you’ll probably want to think about the toy’s aesthetics as well. After all, a premium-quality ride-on toy isn’t the cheapest thing you can get for your kid — so you want to make sure they’ll actually like how it looks. Also, let’s be honest — toddlers and preschoolers don’t have a very intricate taste in cars. So, a lot of it comes down to what the parents like; some would like to see their kid in a hippie pink Volkswagen Beetle, while others think a sleek BMW would be way cooler. Voltage One of the features that dictate what kind of powered ride-on toy is appropriate for what kid is its power. The power capabilities differ from model to model, and they’re usually expressed in voltages. Besides design and secondary features, this is the main difference between a 6V Audi and a 12V SUV Truck. If you’re not sure which power level is best for your child, the general rule of thumb is that younger kids do better with slower ride-on cars; these provide them a level of control that’s appropriate for their current level of motor skills. A toddler doesn’t really need an aggressively fast vehicle — you want them to have fun, but you also want them to stay safe. Ease of control When you’re buying a ride-on vehicle for a kid that’s between 3 and 6, you’re probably hoping they’ll improve their reflexes and general coordination. However, even if you’re getting something slower like a 6V ride-on firetruck, your kids will still need supervision. That’s why it’s important for these ride-on cars to have two modes of operation — one where the kid uses pedals and a steering wheel, and another where you can make the necessary adjustments to their movement via a remote control. Other fun features At the end of the day, these are toys and they’re supposed to be fun — which is why you want the kids to have access to neat stuff like working headlights, a funny horn, or even a bluetooth connection that lets you play music in the ride-on toys via their tiny speakers! -
Groundhog Day: Some Historical Context + Marmot Minutiae
Groundhog Day will soon be here! A moment, a choice approaches near. Do we get six weeks of drear, or rays of sunshine shining clear? Apologies for the verse – please don’t be terse… Groundhog Day is one of our more eccentric traditions. Each year, the news cycle briefly touches on the ritual, and these days it’s viewed more as a passing amusement than a predictor of fate. Some may already know the origin and history of the Groundhog Day tradition. However, as we prepare for our fun Groundhog Day Sale, I had questions which need answers. A groundhog enjoying a dandelion The Main Event On February 2nd a groundhog will be unleashed, while the town folk gather round to observe its behavior. If the skies are clear enough, the groundhog will cast a shadow. Terrified of its own shadow, the groundhog will scurry back to its underground lair and six more weeks of bitter winter weather will follow. However, if the skies are cloudy, the light of the sun will be diffused; no shadow will appear and the groundhog will remain above ground, signalling an early spring. I always thought this counter-intuitive. Cloudy weather signifies an early spring, sunshine another bout of winter cold. Whatever, that’s the way the tradition is! But where did it come from? Origins of Groundhog Day Historical records indicate our Groundhog Day stems from the celebration of Candlemas, brought to the US as German-speaking immigrants settled in Pennsylvania. Candlemas involved the blessing and distribution of candles, needed during the dark, bleak winter months. Many European countries and cultures celebrated Candlemas or had similar after-winter traditions, and there are many similarities between this celebration and our modern Groundhog Day tradition. The Handwörterbuch des Deutschen Aberglaubens (Dictionary of German Folk Belief) records the use of Dachs (badgers) as weather-predictors. “If the badger encountered sunshine on Candlemas and therefore saw his shadow, he crawled back into his hole to stay four more weeks, which would be a continuation of winter weather” (Yoder, 52-53). Other variations of the tradition involve other animals too – bears, hedgehogs, foxes, for example – but there is a common thread of an animal awaking from hibernation, seeing its shadow, and retreating, signalling the continuance of winter. Groundhogs have similar season activity patterns (to badgers, the go-to animal of the era) and were locally available. The Candlemas tradition adapts, and is eventually Americanized as “Groundhog Day”. The first recorded mention of Groundhog Day in the US was February 2nd 1840, recorded in the diary of James L. Morris in Morgantown, Pennsylvania (The Pennsylvania Dutchman). Larger celebrations followed in Punxsutawney in the 1880’s and onward, carried out each year by the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club at Gobbler’s Knob (aside: Gobbler’s Knob is an amazing name). Groundhog Day, Gobbler’s Knob, Punxsutawney, PA, 2005 Marmot Minutiae The groundhog (Marmota monax, aka woodchuck, aka marmot) was long-ago known as Arctomys monax – translating to “bear-rat”. Perhaps the groundhog was far larger and more ferocious than the scurriers of today? Regardless, bear-rat gets my vote for best groundhog pseudonym. Stormfax.com maintains a record of the Phil’s accuracy! Since 1887, Phil’s maintained only a 39% accuracy rating. Punxsutawney Phil and the Groundhog Club have a Twitter Account which you should absolutely check out. Another name for groundhog is “whistle-pig”, stemming from the wide variety of crazy hisses, squeals, and chattering noises they can make. Hedgehogs can attain a top cruising speed of 8 mph. Their teeth grow 1/16″ each week. During their active feeding season, a groundhog commonly eats ~1/3 of their weight in vegetables each day. While hibernating, a groundhog’s heart rate slows to just 5 beats per minute. Correctly spelling “Punxsutawney” repeatedly throughout a blog post is challenging. The amount of wood that a woodchuck is capable of chucking, was once empirically proven to be 16 hectares. (note: this is complete nonsense – they can’t even chuck wood). Rain or Shine? What do you think we’ll get this year? I consider myself to be a hibernating creature, but I’m not afraid of my shadow and am definitely not a meteorologist. I am an Oregonian, so I’m predicting rain for at least another six weeks. Whether or not your prediction’s on point, don’t forget to shop our Groundhog Day Sale. Happy Groundhog Day!
