Make Xmas Day More Bearable with a HD Fireplace Video

Xmas day is something we all look forward too but things can get a bit dull when you run out of things to say to those family members you only see occasionally. This year I’ve found the perfect solution to keep things festive… a fireplace video.

Uscenes creates fireplace videos for use on any TV or computer screen. There are others that do them but I like the quality of Uscenes’ videos. Also they provide 3 formats rather than just one so everyone should have a device at least one will work on.

The fireplace videos all come in a pack which includes a 20 minute MP4 video, a Windows screensaver and an Apple screensaver. The MP4′s can be played through a media player or burned to disc. I have actually been doing both; I use Plex to play them through my Roku at home and then I burn them to DVD when visiting friends. On Xmas day I will hopefully be making things more bearable at my parents house this year by playing a fireplace video on their DVD player and letting it repeat all day.

The cost is great value at $5 but they can be bought cheaper if buying more than one, for example you can add 3 files to your shopping basket then enter the code “uscenes” when checking out to get one of them for free.

You can check out my current favourite from their collection below.

Lone Worker Protection Devices

Organisations whose employees work alone are becoming increasingly aware of their legal duties toward their staff and that is why more and more employers are looking to buy lone worker protection devices. The number of people who work alone that are being attacked or abused is rising and the risk can come from members of the public or the environment. Businesses that have staff members who are expected to work alone could benefit greatly from making contact with specialists in this field. These specialized groups are able to offer advice and support to people who work on their own, in some cases staff who work on their own may need to undergo training or they may need to use a lone worker device. These devices are very similar to the panic buttons that are placed in banks and stores and when they are worn by people who work alone they can offer peace of mind for both employee and employer. These devices are small and they are worn on the body, if the worker is under threat or in da...

3 Christmas Gift Ideas for your Girlfriend - 2026 Refresh

OK guys, you may not be too bothered about Xmas presents now that you have grown up. But women really appreciate nice gifts. For women a gift can symbolize your appreciation, respect and devotion.  What I am saying is that it can create deep emotional feelings. Which can either leave your girlfriend feeling loved and special, or if you don't bother to get something nice it could leave her feeling unwanted or unloved. Whats the Top Christmas Gift for Your Girlfriend in 2026? The number 1 Christmas gift for your girlfriend is not jewelry. You may think it would be a good idea, but unless you are making a statement, such as taking the relationship to a new level, or proposing marriage, I would leave jewelry out of it. Some of my girlfriends have had mixed emotions when receiving jewelry as they try to figure out what it means. You can also ignore clothes- women love to buy and then take back clothes. Females don't make snap descisions like men, so don't risk getting somet...

Portugal - a Beautiful Place to get Married

This summer I attended a wedding in Portugal. What a great idea! It was held late September which in the UK is when summer has already finished and autumn has begun. But it Portugal it was still hot and sunny every day. The genius in having the wedding towards the end of September is that the hotel prices and flights were much cheaper than just a few weeks before, when it was the school holiday time. The weather wasn't overbearingly hot too- maybe a few degrees cooler than at the peak of summer. I prefer it this way- it was very pleasant. The wedding ceremony was help on top of a cliff and there was a nice outdoor seating area for the reception. It was a perfect spot with great view. I found the video below which looks like it may of been shot very close by. There was a sea breeze but it was not too much- I heard no complaints from other women. After the reception there was some entertainment like fire dancers, fireworks and one or two other things for the kids. Then we a...
