Celebrate Green Diwali 2011

Diwali is meant for new beginnings. Diyas (clay-lamps) glow on the moonless Diwali night indicates the end of darkness, unawareness and the beginning of luminosity that enlightens all.  People are dressed in their best and are often seen with brightly coloured gift packages to be given to friends and relatives. It's Diwali time!

But along with all the celebrations and festivities come the ear bursting blasts and the poisonous smells of crackers that's hangs in the air days before and after Diwali. For most people lighting of firecrackers is show up of Diwali. Brighter the sparkles, louder the noise the greater the thrill!! In fact to many of us, these visual forms of light seem so suitable and most vital when celebrating the 'Festival of Lights'.

But only few people realize that in our progressively more colonized and infected cities, the short-term enjoyment of watching the firecrackers is rapidly replaced by the extreme air pollution caused by these. The poisonous materials used in the firecrackers release toxic gases that are injurious to the health of all living beings. The high level of noise generated by the crackers is cause enormous suffering to birds and animals. Besides, Diwali crackers are dreaded by the ill and the confined to bed.

We hope that this year, there will be an explosion of joy without crackers and pollution.

Installing a New Ceramic Bathroom Shower Tile With Professional Looking Results

The Venetian, Macau

If you follow the necessary steps for tiling a shower, you'll be amazed with the attractive professional looking results you'll end up with. It doesn't matter if you're tiling the walls around a tub enclosure, or a walk in shower, tiling a shower or tub surround is a separate process from tiling other bathroom walls. You'll need to follow different procedures for these extremely wet locations, especially in preparing your shower tile substrate.

Step 1 Choose Your Bathroom Shower Tile
Your bathroom shower tile should be chosen in a style that resonates with your spirit, and generates warm feelings. Simply put your shower should feel like your own private retreat or leave where the days cares can be washed away.

Step 2 Install Your Cement Backer board Wall Tile Underlayment
Choosing your bathroom shower tile can be a little bit of a challenge, but a shower enclosure and a tub surround are both wet installations, so before you install your shower tile you'll need to waterproof the walls and the framing underneath by installing cement backer board sheets to your wall studs.

Step 3 Creating a Shower Niche
Making a shower niche is an excellent choice, especially if you're tearing out your old bathroom tile, cement backer board, and whatever else there is in this area of your bathroom wall to the studs.

Tiling A Shower
There are a few major differences to tiling a shower when compared to installing other bathroom wall tile. The first is you install your bathroom shower tile to a cement backerboard tile underlayment, unlike other bathroom wall tile that can be laid directly to drywall.
