tips when using a roller

Tip 1: Moisten the roller first with water for latex paint or the appropriate thinner for other types of paint. Roll out the excess moisture on a piece of scrap lumber or kraft paper or even on a paper grocery bag. Dont use newspaper because the roller may pick up the ink. Tip 2: To load a roller, fill the well of the pan about half full and set the roller into the well. Then lift it and roll it down the slope of the pan two or three times to work paint into the roller. Tip 3: With a roll, begin by making an M, a backward N, or a W pattern about 3 feet square. Always start with an upstroke so paint wont run down the wall. Next, fill the pattern with crosswise strokes. You should be able to paint each 3 square foot area with one dip of the roller.

phalaenopsis parishii lobii

The plant is a native of Moulmein, Burma. Phal. parishii can begin flowering anywhere from midwinter (late December to early January) on through the springtime. They have been known to bloom more than once per year. The plant blooms in the spring with several 2 cm wide flowers. Flowers are small, up to one half to three quarters of an inch across, white, with the sepals being larger than the petals. The lip is basically a tan colored with a little white stripe vertically down the lip. The lip is very big with large side lobes. Site: Grow in warm conditions. Pot in medium fir bark and keep in partial shade. Temperature: This plant can tolerate a wider range of temperatures than most phalaenopsis. 58 degrees for a minimum and 75 to 80 for a maximum are a good ideal. Water: Water about once a week. Keep plant fairly moist but not wet.

running for health

Its a complete body workout. Runners can provide tons of anecdotes about the stress-busting powers of their regular jog.
