Happy Birthday Ideas 2007-03-19 13:42:00 Happy 75th to your Dad! How about having some "oldies" going in the background and have tables arranged so there can be dancing going on after dinner? Or sending guests a form (well before the party, with instructions to get that form back to you), and have each person write down a good memory involving your Dad. He will cherish these. You can put the filled out forms into book form (or put nicely into a scrapbook) and he can look back on this and enjoy it for many years.It might be fun to dig up some info from the year he was born and stand up, maybe in between courses and announce what the price of milk was in the year Dad was born, who was president, the most popular music, dance, etc.Some trivia games (with small prizes awarded to winners, perhaps), perhaps historical questions (again, around your dad's year of birth) or seeing who can answer the most questions about your Dad (questions can be as simple as his favorite food, color, favorite vacation, that type of thing).

Styling in Air Purifiers 2007-03-16 13:51:00 As the sales for air purifiers increase the manufacturers are also stressing on innovative new designs to woo the customers. While the chief function of an air purifier is to clean the air, yet having sleek, smart looks wouldn't harm. An air purifier occupies a significant portion of the floor space of the room in which it is placed. So no one would want it to jut out, totally incongruent with the decor of the rest of the room.Style is something very personal and hence subjective. The style of an air purifier becomes that much more important if it is placed in room where you may entertain visitors or where the family spends most of its time. However, if you are buying one for the basement, you can concentrate just on the effectiveness of it.While some people give little weight to the style and looks of an air purifier for some it is as important as its capability to clean the air.
