Solderite Announces New Cordless Soldering Tool
(ContentDesk) April 11, 2006 -- Solderite announced the introduction of their cordless soldering tool offering hobbyist, handymen, manufactures and technicians an alternative to cold heat . The Solderite 700 cordless soldering iron is a battery operated soldering tool capable of lead free soldering.The Solderite 700 offers a portable soldering solution which is an alternative to cold heat products. The Solderite 700 generates heat using the principal of conduction heat. The principle of conduction heat is a proven means of actualizing quality solder joints. The use of conductive heat has distinct advantages as compared to resistance soldering (cold heat) in soldering circuits and components.The Solderite 700 provides a component and circuit friendly flow of heat to provide the user a soldering tool that lowers the chance of compromising the circuit and or component.
The conductive heat flow also provides a very stable medium to achieve excellent solder joints on large leads, cables and wire.The use of cold heat is based on resistance soldering. Resistance soldering is the name applied to a technique where the heat to melt solder is instantaneously generated by passing a high amperage electrical current through a resistive material. This provides a very quick solder joint. There are two major drawbacks of this approach.1. High amperage or voltage is not component friendly, many components and circuits are not designed to absorb this fast high voltage electrical arc.2.
The resistance soldering has many of the characteristics of spot welding. These welds while used in the correct application work well they do not have the structural integrity of a conductive weld.The challenge of providing a fast responding conductive cordless soldering tool has been achieved with the Solderite 700. The Solderite 700 is ready to solder in 10 seconds, this includes lead free solder. The unit is powered by three double A batteries providing the user an average of 60 minutes soldering time. The Solderite 700 also supports multiple solder tip configurations.

Fountains of Refreshment
When hot, sticky days hit, try to use all your senses to keep cool. Sight and sound have amazing psychological effects, even when the thermometer soars.One of the most cooling and relaxing sounds I know is that of a trickling spring. It relaxes my mind and helps my body unwind. In the city, it can drown out the sounds of the daily hustle and bustle of life, calming and refreshing the spirit. I also love the glinting, reflective surface of water.
You can have the soothing coolness of water without a huge space so why not recreate this in your outdoor living area?Some small water features have still water and aquatic plants but with the fight to remove stagnant water where mosquitoes can breed, many people now prefer items with moving water. The most popular "moving water" items are tabletop fountains, statuary fountains and spitting creatures. All rely on a pump to circulate water through the feature. The water is pumped up through plastic tubing and released into the fountain...

?busy, busy, busy, busy, busy?busy, busy, bus? OK, slap me with a wet diaper! Enough of that silliness. Most you know what I'm talking about though, right? That's us! Busy. Doing what? Stuff. What kinds of stuff? All kinds of stuff. Like what? You name it.
Give me an example. Can't. Why not? Too busy?OK ? that's it! Blow the danged whistle! We need a Time Out!Holy Smokes, Folks! We're going outta control. No, not all of us of course. But there are enough of us pushing our physical, mental and emotional limits that it's worthwhile talking about it.
Let me ask you this. When was the last time you just kicked back and looked at the clouds to see what cartoonish kinds of figures or shapes you could see in them? Or the last time you touched a plant leaf and really thought about how it felt and how amazing it was that it was an actual living thing? Or the last time you strolled leisurely down the road or path and thought about nothing in particular? Or the last time you watched...

Before actually starting the installation task, double-check that you are in ready possession of the needed tools, like screwdrivers, wire stripper, crimper, wiring ties, butt splices, the dash bit, etc. In some cases, you may require an antenna adapter. These are readily available with your stereo retailer.
The best way to install your car speakers, stereos, amplifiers etc is to follow the instructions given in the instruction manual.

Staying Sane in a Home Business
An Overload Rescue Plan
Well, you finally did it, you've escaped the traditional, away from home work force and are now self-employed. You started your very own home based business. There you sit, in your nice new office, whether it's in the
corner of the sitting room or in a converted bedroom, surrounded by your equally brand new toys, your computer, desk and some strategically placed shelves.
Your new multi-function center will print stuff, fax stuff and copy stuff. (It won't hang out the washing, but hey, you can't have everything.) You've even got work coming-in and the immediate worry about making a living has vanished.
Hooray! Youreally can work from home!
At first, working from home is pure bliss. Then you get a week when everybody and their dog seems to want your services. After putting in a few late nights, you meet all the deadlines and think; phew, I'm glad that's over! You decide to relax and give yourself a...
