The purpose of the Thomas Lighting Paddle Fans Series Ceiling Fan Model Number T96-12 is as a ceiling fan.
Pros: The beautiful five-blade Thomas Lighting Paddle Fans Series Ceiling Fan Model Number T96-12 has an antique brass finish that will add to the décor of almost any room. Besides adding beauty and charm to a room, ceiling fans couple of very practical purposes; (1) they help to cool a room and (2) they can reduce your kilowatt usage.
Moving air feels cooler to the skin than still air at the same temperature, so you can run your AC unit at a higher setting and still feel cool and comfortable.
A bit of advice: you never want to buy the cheapest model ceiling fan out there. They aren’t built well and their smaller motors have to work hard so they don’t last like better quality ceiling fans. Ceiling fans are more difficult to install than light fixtures and you might want to hire a professional electrician to install your new ceiling fan.
Cons: There is a return policy but not a very generous one and I could find no statement about a guarantee of satisfaction. These are both cons in my opinion.
Guarantee: There is a return policy but I could find no guarantee of satisfaction statement on the Home Center website. The return policy does not include all items and there can be a 15% restocking fee. Returns must be made within 30 days and an authorization number must be acquired as well.
Value for money: The Thomas Lighting Paddle Fans Series Ceiling Fan Model Number T96-12 is a good product at a reasonable cost. It’s a good value.

Mosquito Magnet Liberty
The purpose of the Mosquito Magnet Liberty is to kill mosquitoes and other biting insects.
Pros: I work hard on my lawn and my garden. The reason I work so hard on my lawn and garden is so my family and I can enjoy the great outdoors together. But pesky mosquitoes and other little biting and buzzing no-see-ums can certainly ruin a perfectly good evening outside, can’t they?
The Mosquito Magnet Liberty is an excellent way to outsmart the mosquitoes and other little biting and irritating bugs that insist on joining your lawn party. The Mosquito Magnet Liberty provides coverage for a whole acre. You’ll need a 20-gallon propane tank that isn’t included, but everything else that you need to get rid of the mosquitoes and other bugs is included.
Cons: You’ll need a 20-gallon propane tank that isn’t included with the Mosquito Magnet Liberty, so you have to buy that separately. Also, the guarantee of satisfaction isn’t a very generous one. Oversize items, items over 50 pounds, and items that require special delivery can't be returned, period.
Guarantee: There is a guarantee of satisfaction, sort of. You may return items that have not been opened within 30 days after a return authorization number has been obtained.
Value for money: The Mosquito Magnet Liberty is an excellent pest control option, and it is a very good value.

Orange Flowers
Flowers are the best remedy to have when you are feeling sad or lonely. The many beautiful flowers seem to drive away all negative feelings that we may have. The various colors that are available can enhance how we feel. One flower color that we love having around our homes and gardens is that of orange flowers.
These flowers don’t have to be in just one shade of orange to reveal their beauty. To add some vibrancy to your garden or to make an ordinary floral arrangement look great you can mix in several different shades of orange flowers. For instance you can plant a flower bed that is filled with various orange flowers.
In this orange flower bed you can have moss roses in a warm sunset orange planted in the front of the flower bed. You will also find calendulas, cosmos, birds of paradise and other exotic tropical flowers like an orange hibiscus flower. These exotic flowers will look marvelous amongst your regular flowers as they bring a warm and vibrant look to the garden.
With all of the orange flowers you should look at the times that these plants grow to have an idea of which ones are best suited to be planted for year round blooms. As many of your orange flowers are tender annuals and a few half hardy annuals you should see that you have planted them at the right time.
In addition some of these orange flowers can be planted as seeds, and bulbs. So for you to have these orange flowers growing well in your house you should ask your gardening center for advice and help. This way you will have a garden that is full of beautiful orange flowers.
Besides buying seeds, bulbs and orange flowering plants you can buy some cut flowers to bring the warm orange shades into your home. These orange flowers will include Orange Emperor tulips, Illumination Orange Begonias, Dover Orange Peruvian Lily, Nasturtiums, Marigolds and many others. You should see how the orange flowers can mix with other flowers to bring a sense of freshness and vitality to our lives.
When you have selected the orange flowers that you want to have in your gardens and home, you can ask for ideas on the best way to present or arrange these flowers so that they will look fantastic. In addition you can ask what other flower will work well in a flower arrangement with your selected orange flowers.
The reason we are probably attracted to orange flowers is because they remind us of the sunset in all of its brilliant glory. Some of the flowers we will buy because we know that they can fill our homes with a fresh and clean smell of summer. Whatever reason you use the various orange flowers will make you feel happy just by their presence.
