When it comes to fans in particular or lighting products in general, you should not think about your choice in terms of either looks or functionality. Kichler is the genuine proof that these two aspects can represent the complementary features of a single object, satisfying both aesthetic rigors and practical reasons.

Choose Kichler Fans for Glamour and Efficiency
On the lighting products market, Kichler is undoubtedly a brand renowned for its excellence and for the quality of the products and services this company constantly offers for a few decades now. Turning tools into functional works of art is this company’s vision, and this is why the lighting products manufactured under this name exceed mere utility and take illumination to a new height, turning it into a matter that has everything to do with interior – or exterior – decoration. Since this brand name is most commonly rightfully chosen by clients who turn the purchase process into a matter or aesthetic judgment, it must be said that Kichler does not deprive the products of their efficiency and utility in order to make them look better. On the contrary, functionality is one of the few main concerns the company has with respect to lighting products.Fans, for instance, can represent genuine pieces of art affecting in a specific way the general aspect of the room they are hung in. But even if we choose them in order to get a more dramatic or a more intimate lighting effect, even if we pick them for their finishing or simply because a detail has appealed to us, we still want them to work at their full capacity. Therefore, even fans that bring pleasure to our eyes must also bring satisfaction to the thought that illumination and ventilation – the main two functions of such a lighting product – are guaranteed and properly achieved. Thus, even if fashionable finishes and style are the main criteria we use while deciding which fan to buy, we may still want to pay attention to the motor inside the fan, because the motor is the most essential part of a ceiling fan. Depending on the performance the motor is able, we may benefit from silent operation and from a considerable life span, or we may just as well end up with a pretty piece of art that makes noise while operating and that generates high operating temperatures and diminished air ventilation. In this case, what is the purpose of a ceiling fan if it works precisely as it shouldn’t? In addition, before you begin to ponder on what alternatives are available to you, certain parameters must be considered. The size of ceiling fans must be suitable to the size of the rooms they are to be set in. Therefore, there is no point in purchasing a glamorous item that simply doesn’t feet the room or the place in which it will be hung. However, if you care about comfort, circulation, safety and aesthetics, the ceiling fan should be placed about between 8 and 9 feet above the floor in the middle of the room, and even if the rooms within your home don’t allow you to make such calculations, you may want to look for models that are designed to hang closer to the ceiling, if the height of the room is an issue.

Building Ventilating by Reversible Roof Fans
Tenderall Fan Co. PRVs are especially designed, built and proven by independent test to meet the need of venting hot gases and smoke in the event of fire in commercial and industrial buildings, such as factories, warehouses, parking garages, shopping malls and department stores.
Type HS PRVs reliably extract large volumes of hot gases and smoke regardless of building configuration, location and weather conditions. They withstand high temperatures for long periods of time.A reliable ventilation system that can operate during a fire is both vital and essential. It prevents smoke logging, allows people to escape quickly, minimizes damages to property and contents and enables firemen to attack the fire without hindrance. These power roof ventilators have the added advantage of providing normal day to day ventilation and in many cases can also be fitted with duct work for use in multi storey buildings.The concept of venting smoke and heat was first outlined by Industrial Risk Insurers (IRI). Use of powered ventilation could eliminate the problems experienced with gravity vents. Specially designed roof mounted exhaust fans would mechanically vent heat and smoke under emergency fire conditions.
In addition to the reliability and effectiveness of this powered ventilation concept, the use of HS PRVs to vent heat and smokes has these specific advantages:
* It is not dependent on air temperature differential or wind direction and velocity to create air movement.
* It does not rely on heat itself to activate the system. Smoke detectros and water-flow devices also may be utilized.
* It provides for normal ventilation needs of the building as well as for emergency use as a vital component of the fire protection system.
* There is ususally a substantial cost saving in the purchase and installation of the dual purpose system.
* Maintenance cost for building and equipment is frequently reduced.
* The system can be effectively used in multi storied and below grade building areas.
* Reliability of operations is assured because powered ventilators are in daily use and receive regular inspection and maintenance.The unique Type HS power roof ventilators provide a solution for emergency heat and smoke venting that is dependable under the most extreme circumstances.
All critical components of HS PTV that exposed to the airstream are ferrous construction to withstand high temperature conditions. These heavy gauge materials prevent warping of fan parts and malfunction at high temperatures. This also insures years of trouble-free service in normal daily operation of the PRV.The wind shroud is made of galvanized steel; an exterior finish coat of epoxy can be specified. Painted parts are coated with epoxy to provide a protective coating rated excellent for hardness, impact resistance, adhesion and chemical resistance.Belt and bearings are protected from the air stream by enclosing them in a ventilated tube.
Design of HS fan incorporates a heat slinger/impeller. It isolates the fan bearings from damaging heat and draws cooler outside air through the motor compartment and over the belt and bearings. A spring loade, fusible link activated device automatically opens dampers when temperature at the fan reaches 165 F. Thei enables the fan to function as a gravity ventilator prior to powered operation.
A safety disconnect switch is mounted to the PRV housing. This feature protects maintenance personnel from an accidental fan start when the unit is being serviced.
Type HC Power Roof Ventilators have been tested to operate:
- conituously at 650 F;-
3 Hours at 800 F;
- 1.5 Hours at 1000 F;
- 1/2 Hour at 1,200 F.

Empowering the Fans! A Paradigm Shift in Indie Music Promotion!
Few people understand just how difficult it is for young emerging music artists to sustain their craft, let alone make a living at it. The world is full of talented musicians, singers and rappers who struggle every day to get their music heard and who have no real economical distribution channel for reaching the masses. The internet should have made it easier, but in fact it’s become harder than ever to rise above the noise of the millions of artists trying so desperately to be heard.
We’ve all heard the endless stories of struggling artists living out of their cars and working dead-end jobs just to support their passion. As many as I’ve heard, and continue to hear, I can't help but wonder about those that weren’t so lucky.
I’m not talking about those who lacked the talent. I’m talking about those gifted artists who just couldn’t afford to keep it going and who ultimately faded away into oblivion. Truth is, the world will never know just how many incredible and truly gifted artists we’ve missed out on simply because they couldn’t financially sustain themselves long enough to “make it”. Let’s face it, talent doesn’t always dictate who will sell music and who won’t. Could it be that the Fans are the solution!
For years fans have devoutly supported the music industry not only by purchasing music, but by providing the single best marketing machine on the planet. Nothing, since the beginning of the recording industry, has resulted in more album sales than the simple act of one person exuberantly telling another about a new artist they heard or a new album they just bought. The general public has always been directly responsible for the success and failure of any artist.
That’s why I find it so incredibly hard to understand the thinking of the Recording Industry Association of America. The RIAA has filed more than 35,000 copyright infringement lawsuits since 2003. Just when they should be embracing the fans, they’re instead choosing to treat them as pariah.
While I absolutely do not support the violation of copyright law or the violation of the rights of artists, it seems that suing the very goose that built their golden egg is not only counterproductive, but just plain foolish.
I remember when buying a new album was like an event. I would go to the record store and browse the aisles admiring all of the album covers and after finally making my selection, I’d pay an actual person at an actual checkout counter. When I got home I’d tear the plastic wrapping off and listen for hours while reading the liner notes.
Today’s typical music purchase has no tangible feeling or similar emotions that we felt or associated with buying music years ago. You simply click a few buttons and bam, you’re listening to it on your ipod. No liner notes, no human interaction. It’s no wonder illegal downloading is so prevalent. It almost seems like a victimless crime. It’s just you and your computer.
The hard question is; how do you make the act of illegally downloading music seem as wrong as putting a CD under your coat and walking out of a store?Perhaps a better tact to supporting Indie Music and preserving the sanctity of the artist’s copyrights is to embrace the fans!
Why not a plan that makes fans a part of the process? One that creates a dynamic that’s less retailer/consumer, but more like a partnership. If illegally downloading music meant stealing from not only the artists, but from other fans or themselves, would they be less likely to Kazaa? Would they begin to police themselves and others? If you had some ownership in an album or song, would it bother you if someone else obtained a copy illegally? I think that it might, and that’s why I believe that it’s a social experiment worth exploring.
Don’t get me wrong, no plan would ever completely eliminate piracy and illegal downloading. Even in the times long before MP3’s, there was theft, but I think embracing the fans in a way that gives them a vested interest in preserving and protecting the music, would be a huge step in the right direction.
I firmly believe that fans finally deserve to be rewarded for getting behind their favorite artists and spreading the word about the music they love. While at the same time, and just as passionately, I believe that music artists deserve to be compensated for providing us with their heart and soul in the form of recorded sound.
If indie music artists want to promote and sell music in a manner that’s safer and more economical, things will have to change. It’s time for a paradigm shift in the way Independent Music is promoted and sold. Empower The Fans!Howard Archer

Web Site Dedicated to Providing Unfettered Interview Exchange for Independent Musicians and Their Fans Launches
Uncensored Interview (www.uncensoredinterview.com) is the first of its kind, dedicated to giving independent musicians and their fans a voice through an interactive interface. Via streaming video, Uncensored Interview showcases interviews with indie bands across all genres.
"The truth is, indie music fans just don't have outlets like TV and radio to access the indie musician world," said Marisa Bangash, founder of Uncensored Interview. "Today, the internet is the place for art, ideas and intimacy to be exchanged. Uncensored Interview is the site for indie artists, fans and music aficionados to experience, learn, express, unite, and debate."
Uncensored Interview provides a needed channel for bands to reach to fans, express their feelings and share themselves beyond their music. It is a forum where theplatonicband/fan relationship which thrives in the indie music world is respected and allowed to grow.
Uncensored Interview recognizes that passive is out when it comes to online behavior and encourages users to "talk back" to the bands and share their views via video. The interviews captured highlight the indie artist's opinions and ideas. Then a grassroots, non-linear video conversation becomes the name of the game. The uncensored interviews produced for the site and user-generated content known as "v-sponses" create a forum for the two parties to interact on topics ranging from global warming to sex with fans to the state of the music industry.
"With the major labels failing, airwaves filled with disposable music and cookie cutter artists being pushed as the next big thing - fans need a way to cut through the clutter," said Bangash. "Uncensored Interview is a reference point for people to find the diamonds in the rough."
Artists interviewed also talk about what they know best and why they are recognized - their music. More than just commentary on their own albums, bands converse about everything that affects their lives as musicians, including touring, influences, the music industry, media and challenges they face. Some of the content also serves as advice for aspiring musicians.
Uncensored Interview's videos encompass broader social issues as well since artists develop their work based on their experiences as individuals. To capture what compels each artist and share it with fans introduces a new way for the two parties to connect.
The Interview Process: Step by Step
* Starts with a simple thought shared by the indie artists captured and published by Uncensored Interview producers.
* Videos featuring the indie artist are published online and are ready for viewing.
* Socially aware individuals, indie artists, fans, music aficionados and the bands themselves interact by uploading their own videos in response (the v-sponses) to the original band videos or to other v-sponses.
* The end result - video conversations that are interactive, intellectual, meaningful, ever-changing and uncensored.
Videos on Uncensored Interview are classified into several channels, delivering content based on the user's preference; whether by genre or by area of interest. Interviews take place in locations where the artist feels most comfortable - a favorite bar, rehearsal space or even a toilet seat. From here, artists speak in an unrestricted environment, enabling their fans to get a voyeuristic glimpse into their worlds. Uncensored Interview doesn't string together pieces of the interview to create an enhanced image of the artists; but instead provides raw, truthful moments as they happen.

Supernatural Fans Vow not to Get Lost
Sure, fans were really glad to see that Supernatural has come back on air, but they weren't too happy to find that the timing couldn't be less perfect. Sarcastically speaking, that is. The show's first new episode in over a month fell into a timeslot that forces it to compete against the season premiere of Lost. The return of the Winchester brothers debuted with around 3 million viewers, and that number less 390,000 for the sophomore episode. Seeing that the show is again teetering to the fall, fans began a campaign aptly named "Supernatural Will Not Get Lost," which involves creating fan art promoting the series and an e-mail campaign forwarding e-mails to TV columnists and the CW itself. Can these efforts actually make a difference for the underrated CW show?
Supernatural fans are one hell of a dedicated fan base and they will surely do whatever it takes to make possible the Winchester brothers promotions, even if they have to do it themselves. Despite being such a great show, Supernatural is just not watched by enough people, and the CW isn't doing such a great job at promoting the series. Therefore, the fans have taken action and are taking this to the streets.
The CW has definitely made a wrong move in placing Supernatural in Lost's timeslot, but who knew that ABC was moving their phenomenal series to 9pm Thursdays? This is probably the primary reason why the ratings dipped to a low this season. Fact is, Supernatural and Lost are quality genre shows, and fans can only pick on in that critically competitive time slot.
As of now, fans are busy recruiting new viewers to become part of the Supernatural fan base. Nonetheless, in a recent interview with Eric Kripke, the Supernatural creator seemed positive that the show will receive it's fourth season in time. Hopefully by then, the CW can place it in a more friendly timeslot that has lesser competition.
To check out the "Supernatural Will Not Get Lost" campaign, log on to WinchesterBros.com or Supernatural.tv.

Ceiling Fans – A Personal Review.
Frankly speaking, though it may seem pretty odd, but one of the first things that I noticed about the United States of America was that there were no ceiling fans here. I mean to a person who has grown up with ceiling fans all his life, the lack of them was a sore point. I still clearly remember the first time I saw a ceiling fan. I mean, I had always had a ceiling fan in every room of the house, but the first time I got up, close and personal was when I was around twelve years old.
Back then we had a servant maid who used to take care of the cleaning around the house. However, it so happened that one day, she didn't show up as usual. And mom had planned a huge spring cleaning effort. So, without wasting any time in going on with her plan, she roped me in to assist her with the cleaning. And being small and quick (in her opinion, needlessly so) I was given the task of cleaning the ceiling fans. The first thing I did was place two chairs atop one another in order to reach the ceiling fan. That was the first time in my life when I went up to see the ceiling fan.
Something that looked so clean from below and provided so much air was a dirty piece of metal suspended from the roof. A big ugly hook answered my questions as to how the ceiling fan managed to stay on the ceiling. And below that hook, or rather, covering it was a plastic upturned bowl that seemed to do nothing more than collects dirt. And below this was the main part of the ceiling fan that included a big, round base from which three fin like objects protruded at obtuse angles. All of them had a fine layer of dust on top and solid grime attached to the edges. I held my nose, prayed that the chairs would stay upright and began the job of cleaning our ceiling fan.
This routine was repeated at least seven times. Yes Like I mentioned earlier, nearly every room had a ceiling fan and the livelihood room had two to cover the entire area. At the end of the day, I was pooped and exhausted. But the tiredness seemed to be worth it when mom made me a glass of cool lemonade and I sank into a chair as the ceiling fans I had cleaned steadily and continuously whirred round and round providing me with cool breeze.
