New Changes in Australian Skilled Occupations List
New changes in the Australian skilled occupations list (SOL) were introduced this year. Bricklayers, Floor tillers and chemists will be removed, and people from these professions will not be able to apply for a permanent residence in Australia unless, they have an employer, who is willing to sponsor them. The new changes will take effect form July. This means people with occupations, which will be removed from the new list, will not have an opportunity to apply for visa, because the whole process takes several weeks.
There will be however new opportunities available. Currently SOL consists of more than 190 professions, including nurses, mechanics, glaziers, locksmiths, stonemasons, plumbers and carpenters. Professionals from one of these areas can come to Australia without having employer sponsorship. The jobs that will be added to the new list include: Production managers in the mining industry, optometrists and computer systems and network engineers. For people, who have one of these occupations it will be vey easy to find a job in Australia and to get a visa during the next 12 months.
Furthermore Australian government will change the visa application rules for older people and non-English speakers, in order to make it easier for them to apply for an Australian visa. All applicants will continue to be assessed on the basis of their age, qualifications and working skills.
"Although the changes won't came into effect until July 1, processing time for visas means that any of the people affected, who start their application now for the skilled migrant visa will be too late as they will have insufficient time to get a successful skills assessment" said Edwina Shanahan, who is manager at Visa First in Dublin.
"It is important not to alarm those who have just recently applied, those applications will still be processed" she added.
According to Ms Shanahan all applicants should take the ELTS exam which adds additional points and speeds up their applications.
Visa First is a leading immigration consulting company. We can help you to apply for you Australian Visa fast and hassle free now.

Somebody Put Sunglasses On A Bunny, And It Started A Hysterical Photoshop Battle.
We all have hobbies or fun things that we like to do. Some people like to spend a lot of time on computers and learn how to do a lot of great things on them. Photoshop is one of the programs that everyone wishes they could master. That's because those that have mastered it can come up with some truly amazing photographs.
The new craze is the rabbit that wears sunglasses and appears just about anywhere there has been a camera. It all started a little while ago when someone took a photo of a rabbit wearing sunglasses and photo shopped it into a picture that had been seen by most people. Well, it was so funny that someone tried to top it with a better, funnier picture and the war was on. Currently it's one of the more popular things to spend free time on and it has led to a lot of pretty funny pictures of the sunglasses wearing rabbit.
Here you will see 14 of some of the funniest photo shopped sunglasses wearing rabbits that have been created during the now epic "Sunglasses Wearing Bunny Wars".
There is nothing cooler than a bunny wearing sunglasses right?
I wonder if they needed a carrot to get him in the correct pose!
This photo is taken from the movie Top Gun and our new hero has been inserted before hopping into his fighter jet. Notice the movie name change to Top Bun!

Five things you didn't know about Chvrches
The Glaswegian synthpop trio tell us about getting signed, not knowing Emeli Sandé and why their name is spelled that way
Tue Mar 5 2013
Chvrches are on the way up. They were named one of the BBC's sounds of 2013 earlier this year on the back of their earworm single 'The Mother We Share', and the ensuing boost to their profile has seen them sell out their Village Underground show two months in advance. Frontwoman Lauren Mayberry gave us five reasons they're a new breed of synthpop band.
1 Pretty doesn't always mean vacant
'If there's a girl in the band with shiny hair people can assume that the guys are the songwriters, and she just stands at the front and does what she's told. But it's a band, rather than a girlish singer and two producers.'
2 That 'v' in their name isn't a spelling mistake
'It was because our parents were trying to Google us on the internet – if you Google "churches", a lot of religious stuff comes up.'
3 They're from Glasgow – but they don't know Emeli Sandé
'People ask you what was it like getting to know her on the scene. I don't necessarily think she was around on the scene – at least not the scene that I know.'
4 They have some cutting-edge influences
'I'm a huge fan of [mysterious Scandinavian electronic duo] The Knife. I like the fact that they seem to be able to keep themselves to themselves – there's never an oversaturation because you never really know anything.'
5 They're only pop up to a point
'During the scary dance with the record labels there was one man who informed me he could make me the new Pixie Lott, and I was like, "Thanks, sir. I'm going to run away from you as fast as possible."'
See Chvrches live in London
- Critics choice
This hotly tipped, Glaswegian synthpop trio became one of British music's biggest recent success stories in 2013 when they exploded onto the scene with their album 'The Bones of What You Believe'. Since then they've toured the world and soundtracked the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony, and now they're back in London for a ballot-only gig at The Dome and a huge show at Ally Pally.

February 1, 2017 - February 28, 2017
The colorful, humorous, and hopeful fabric works of New Orleans artist Chris Roberts-Antieau are coming to the Telluride Arts District for Mardi Gras season. The fabric appliqué and embroidery masterpieces will be hosted at Gallery 81435 from January 28th to February 28th, 2017, with an opening reception Thursday, Feb. 2, 5-8 pm and a closing reception Tuesday, Feb. 28, 5-8 pm.
Chris Roberts-Antieau is a self-taught pioneer of machine embroidery. Her main body of work, which she calls "fabric paintings," are highly sophisticated tapestries created in her signature style of fabric appliqué and intricate embroidery, crafted on a simple Bernina sewing machine. Antieau's subject matter ranges from joyfully candid cultural commentary depicting unbelievable true stories (such as James Brown's Funeral: And The Tragic Aftermath) to more personal reflections on nature, perception, reality and truth. Antieau further explores her interests through sculpture and installation, creating elaborate dollhouses of famous murder scenes and elegant gowns embroidered with birds of prey eviscerating small animals.
For her show at Gallery 81435, Antieau will offer visions of an unstable reality: "I am fascinated by the mind's ability to create individual perception," says Antieau, "and by the self-constructed belief system that creates that perception. We are what we believe we are. We see what we believe we see. We "know" what we believe we know. My work is a chance for me to stretch these boundaries, to explore things like dreams, intuition, natural phenomena, the afterlife, and unbelievable true events - themes that will run through my show, Ad Lucem."
With a similar penchant for the surreal and for questioning our perceptions, jeweler Betsy Youngquist will be showing her work alongside Antieau's. Small and large eyes are the motif and centerpiece of everything from her pendants to her broaches. They lend the wearer an additional lens for seeing and being seen.
The show runs thru February 2016 at Gallery 81435, located at 230 S Fir Street in Telluride, Colorado. Open daily from 12-6pm or by appointment.

CHICAGO, Oct. 21 — The New York Metropolitans claimed decisive possession of the National League base-ball pennant on enemy turf here at Wrigley Field on Wednesday night, sweeping the Sisyphean Chicago Cubs in four games to earn their ducats to next week's World Series championship.
The Metropolitans — also known as the "Mets" — sent six safely across the plate before the third inning, mostly as a result of the derring-do of their Bunyanesque first-sacker, Lucas Duda. The mighty Californian smote a home run and a double to tally five of those six runs before the Cubs seemed to comprehend that a game concerning their possible erasure from the 2015 field was well underway.
The ignominious rout of the valiant but overmatched hometown squad turned the deafening cheers of the Chicago multitudes into plaintive keens, for now their agonizing wait for another championship — the last in 1908, during the presidency of the rough-riding Theodore Roosevelt — must continue.
New York 8, Chicago 3
The final numbers to adorn the forest-green Wrigley scoreboard in center field announced a New York score of 8 and a Chicago score of 3. But the game — indeed, the entire National League Championship Series — between two great American burgs was never as close as these numbers might suggest.
Perhaps the Cubs took some measly comfort in not allowing that Metropolitan miracle, the ginger-haired second-sacker Daniel Murphy, his customary home run until the eighth inning. Still, the game and series have caused the broad shoulders of this muscular city to sag in the familiar repose of defeat.
Observers perched on saloon stools from Lake Michigan to the Hudson River might argue that the New York manager Terry Collins had simply out-generaled his Chicago counterpart, Joe Maddon. But, in truth, this match came down to the New York twirlers — deGrom and Syndergaard, Harvey and Matz, Colon and Familia — who are writing their names alongside those who have stood on the Long Island slab before them, Seaver, Koosman, Darling, Gooden, Hampton, Leiter. ...
No Nectar of Champions
The Chicagoans, meanwhile, must wait again to add more names to the pennants that flap in honor upon the yellow poles demarking fair and foul. In left hang the great surnames of Banks, Santo and Jenkins, and in right, those of Williams, Sandberg and Maddux. None of these greats, alas, ever tasted the nectar of champions while in Chicago.
Illuminated against the dark by the wonder of electrification, this was New York's night in Chicago, so much so that the "Let's Go Cubs" chants at the beginning of the game had transmogrified, 3 hours and 32 minutes later, to intonations of "Let's Go Mets."
In the giddy hours before this game of destiny, the hometown boys and their visiting enemy engaged in the limb-loosening exercises peculiar to their chosen trade. As the men of Chicago took their swipes in the batting cage, fielded daisy cutters and danced to unusual melodies — music that, to this correspondent, was unnecessarily emphatic in its bass — they seemed altogether unperturbed by the prospect of their long winter on the verge of commencing.
A Sea of Humanity
Meanwhile, outside the Wrigleyville cathedral, the congregants of Cubdom thronged in the streets, creating a jostling sea of humanity along Addison and Clark that was fed constantly by streams cascading down from the elevated trains above. The fans — short for "fanatics" — wore their boastful Cubs regalia, sang their secular hymns and held aloft hopeful signs saying, "Looking for Tickets."
The signs of others reflected alternate states of desperation. "I'm Just Hungry," said the placard of a woman apparently seeking sustenance from something other than victory in a sporting endeavor. Another, held by a man as thin as his pen's scrawl, said, "Help the homeless, please, I'm a Cubs fan."
The ceremonies leading up to the main event fueled the ardor of the hometown enthusiasts. The former Cubs twirler Rick Sutcliffe, known as the Red Baron for his fiery tonsorial hue, who toiled on these grounds for eight years, threw out the first pitch. And singing the national anthem was a long-haired duo who go by the sobriquet "Stolen Silver" — an appropriate choice, given the last-ditch larceny on the minds of Maddon's determined men.
Enthusiasm Soon Tempered
By game time, ivy-festooned Wrigley was loaded to the gunnels, more than 42,000 strong, their spasms of joy and anticipation such that a detonated stick of dynamite would not have been heard. Fans laughed and cheered like college undergraduates.
But Chicago's starting twirler, the right-hander Jason Hammel, soon tempered the enthusiasm of the home-towners with his lackluster showing. Curtis Granderson, the pesky right fielder who bats first for the Metropolitans, poked a one-bagger into left field, and so it began.
David Wright, New York's valiant third baseman who has come back from chronic woes of his broad back, perished on a third twirl, and the multitudes celebrated. Following him was the second baseman Daniel Murphy, whose sudden habit of walloping home runs has earned national attention. He foul-popped, to the loud relief of locals.
Larcenous Granderson swiped second base, though, and up to the plate strode Yoenis Cespedes, the grand swatter of Cuba. With the count full, the crowd rose as one and waved their white flags in encouragement, only to release a collective sigh of disappointment as the pitcher Hammel gave him a pass to the first cushion.
Then Duda, who had struck out 13 times in 27 postseason trips to the plate. Again the count went to the brim, again the crowd rose, again the towels were waved, in vehement opposition of surrender.
Dispatch from Chicago, 107-year-late edition
But Duda swatted Hammel's next serving over the center-field ivy, some 400 feet away, for three runs, stunning the raucous crowd into silence. Not one to be outdone, his teammate behind the plate, Travis d'Arnaud, planted another white spheroid amid the unappreciative crowds, this time in right-center field.
'The Only Way Is Up'
With that, a pall began to descend upon Chicago's north side, along with the boos and razzes of those who, moments earlier, had cheered the sight of Hammel on the mound. It was 4-0, and the pregame dancing to pulsating sounds seemed a distant, taunting memory.
The Cubs organist began to play "Hey, Look Me Over," an incompatible choice save for its line: "The only way is up."
Occupying the slab for the Metropolitans was Steven Matz, a freshman southpaw from eastern Long Island. He greeted the first Chicago batsman, center fielder Dexter Fowler, with a fastball strike that today's technology indicates was traveling at 95 miles an hour. Fowler groundered to the Bunyan at first, after which two of Fowler's Cubs teammates were compelled to submit to the indignity of strikeouts.
The second inning only intensified the ursine pain, as it carried what our French friends across the pond call "déjà vu" — or "already seen" — as Granderson again led off, the Metropolitans having batted around.
Early Hook Is Little Help
At first Hammel seemed to have taken himself by the proverbial lapels and said, "Steady man." But after inducing Granderson into rainbowing a fly-out to left, he granted a pass to Wright. His commanding officer, Maddon, had seen enough, though, and derricked him for the southpaw Travis Wood. Hammel headed to the clubhouse with his shirt pulled over his nose, as if the stench of his own performance was too much for him to bear.
Wood's first adversary, though, was the gingery Murphy, who slapped his bat squarely against a ball he liked and copped a straight one for a single, just beyond the reach of Cubs shortstop Javier Baez.
After Cespedes, a man of formidable power, returned to the bench after seeing a third strike sail past, Duda knocked a two-bagger to right-center, sending two more teammates to safety at home.
From then on, the events unfolding on the diamond-shaped greensward were nothing if not anticlimactic, as the Metropolitans had already stored away enough runs to ensure victory. Things were so bleak for the home boys that the Chicago crowd seized on anything remotely positive to raise a ruckus: one fan's fine athletic catch of a foul ball, for example, and the magical appearance of the former Cub Billy Williams, an inductee of the Hall of Fame, on a large movie-screen device, proffering the wave of a monarch weary of adulation.
Making It Respectable
The diamond athletes of Chicago, a city's hopes upon their pinstriped shoulders, did their best to reclaim some semblance of dignity. They scored a run in the fourth (albeit a poor showing for an inning in which they had men on all three cushions without an out). And they scored twice more in the eighth, when outfielder Jorge Soler set his teeth and lashed the ball for two bases, after which third baseman Kris Bryant pounded a terrific fly into the left-field stands, sending the home crowd into what would be their last joyous paroxysms of the season.
The New York faithful, though, have much to remember and cherish as they await the naming of their American League adversaries, either the Blue Jays of Toronto, Canada, or the Royals of Kansas City, Missouri.
The boys and girls of Queens, Long Island, and its environs will not soon forget the sight of the burly twirler and game winner Bartolo Colon — at 42, superannuated by base-ball's time clock — throwing sinking balls that dropped to the shanks of confounded batsmen. Or the sight of Wright at third and Wilmer Flores at short stop, firing the base ball across the lot to get their men.
Or of Murphy, later voted the most valuable player of this series, and no wonder. In the eighth inning, he thumped a home run worth two tallies over the head of center fielder Fowler. Though not a player known for his power, this was his seventh home run in the postseason, and he has now homered in six consecutive games, a record for these major leagues.
A joyful but humble Murphy, a man known for his commitment to his Christian faith, said after the game that he just swung. "And then when I hit it, I said, 'Oh my goodness,' " he recounted. "Then Dexter went after it, I thought he was going to catch it, and then the netting caught it. I don't know. I can't explain it."
An inning later, Murphy and his teammates were the ones dancing on the diamond.
Managers Sing Praises
Ever the embodiment of class, the vanquished manager Maddon crossed the darkening field to shake the hand of Collins, his old friend and counterpart, a Lee greeting his Grant. "They were just that good for four days," the snow-haired Cubs leader said. "I've got to give them credit."
Collins, the oldest manager in the major leagues, and with locks just as white, sang the praises of his brawny lads, Duda and Murphy in particular, but also paused to applaud Maddon as a base-ball gentleman. "I knew one thing," Collins asserted. "He would not leave tonight without shaking my hand, because he's a pro."
It was after midnight by now, and nearly all the Cubs fans had left the ballpark, bound for elevated trains, bound for establishments in which to eulogize and toast their freshly dead season. The guardians of Wrigley dimmed the lights and covered the mound with tarp, but, ever the good hosts, they allowed a raucous clutch of New York fans to linger in the gloaming to savor a moment only dreamed of in these parts.

Is Growing Trees Coming Back?
A recent report released by the Society of American Foresters, with collaboration by US Forest Service, raises some interesting points. According to the news report (included below), U.S. environmental and energy policies should be based on science-informed premises.
One of the premises states: -- Forest products used in place of energy-intensive materials, such as metals, concrete, and plastic can reduce and store carbon emissions and can in some cases, substitute fossil fuels to produce energy.
The 4x4Voice wonders if this is a prelude to a change in forest management policy from one of preservation to a policy that includes more domestic timber production? The use of forest products to replace metals, concrete, and plastic indicates that growing and harvesting trees is a potential action.
It does appear that such an effort would be a job-creating action while putting more carbon into a permanent "stored" condition in wood products that are used to build houses.
The long-term impacts indicate that removing the amount of carbon (in the form of CO2 - carbon dioxide) from the atmosphere is a means to combat climate change. And, using the natural process of the carbon cycle of plants to convert CO2 into oxygen is environmentally friendly and energy efficient.
Everyone benefits from the job-creating, environmentally friendly, and energy efficient action of growing and using more forest products.
and, That's My View...

I like taking pictures of my food because my food is usually pretty good looking…just sayin'.
Yesterday I ate a salad for lunch that I just needed to share with you:
I started with some mixed greens and then went a little crazy.
I have some cucumber, and red cabbage,
Baked sweet potato and avocado,
and grilled chicken for protein. There are also some roasted beets hidden somewhere in there…yum.
I really love making giant salads: I pretend that I'm at the Whole Foods salad bar and I go crazy! I call this my "power salad" because it contains a good balance of protein, carbs and fats. Protein from the chicken, carbs from the veggies including the sweet potato and beets, and some fat from the avocado. Put them all together and you get a really satisfying salad that can power you through the rest of your day!
What kinds of toppings do you like on your salads?

Leave it to Trump to boycott the UN council, something many Americans have wanted to be done for quite a while.
It turns out he doesn't like their anti-Israel stance and is not going to allow their rhetoric to take place before him.
From The Federalist Papers:
President Trump has never been impressed with the United Nations.
Last December, he referred to the UN as "just a club for people to get together."
It shouldn't be surprising then that when said club pushes an anti-Israel agenda–President Trump isn't going to join the club.
He's going to boycott the club.
According to The Washington Free Beacon:
The Trump administration will boycott the United Nation's Human Rights Council, or UNHRC, due to its efforts to advance an anti-Israel agenda, according to senior administration officials familiar with the effort who spoke to the Washington Free Beacon.
The UNHRC, which includes member countries cited for mass human rights abuses, is poised on Monday to adopt at least five anti-Israel resolutions, prompting outrage in the Trump administration over what officials described as the council's unjust bias against the Jewish state.
The action on these items has prompted the Trump administration to boycott the council and refuse to attend the Monday meeting, according to administration officials apprised of the situation who spoke with the Free Beacon….
… Trump administration officials said the increased pressure on the U.N. is part of a larger effort by U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley to significantly reform the international organization and root out those who use it as a platform to push anti-Israel initiatives.
On Monday, the UNHRC is set to consider an agenda known as the "human rights situation in Palestine and other occupied Arab territories." It is said to include several anti-Israel declarations that the Trump administration fiercely objects to.
He's doing exactly what the people who voted for him wanted.

Acquisition: What Happens After a Shift of Power? Part 4
In our last blog post, we discussed vested and unvested options in relation to an impending acquisition. Today, in part four of our series, we will determine how terms of an acquisition deal, valuation and option conversion can affect your stock options during a shift of power.
Acquisition Terms:
When you are granted a plan for your stock options, be sure to review any and all clauses concerning potential shifts in power. This includes a merger or acquisition. Your plan should always map out the conditions of any acquisition in relation to your stock options. However, the future of those options and what you may receive from an acquiring company will be directly dependent upon the terms of the merger or acquisition deal.
The factors that could affect your stock options in an acquisition are plentiful and vary from case to case, but there are some general occurrences that are seen quite often. According to MyStockOptions.com, they are:
- The tax consequences to the acquirer and seller
- The terms of the target's stock option plan and the agreement the acquiring company strikes with the target company
- The financial accounting for the transaction
- The willingness of the acquirer to preserve equity participation by employees of the target company
- The value of your stock in the target compared to that of the acquirer
- The company's concern about tax consequences to the option holders
These occurrences may be completely out of your control, but it is still essential to have at least a basic understanding of what could potentially affect your stock options during a shift of power.
Amidst a merger or acquisition, the valuation of your organization will be a determining factor of your own loss or gain in the shift of power. The value is determined according to premium or trading price of a private or publically traded company.
- Private: The value of privately traded companies can vary depending upon the perceived value of the organization according to input of financial professionals such as bankers, investment advisors etc. The price of sale is negotiable and decided upon based on the perceived value.
- Public: MyStockOptions.com reports that, "public-company transactions are almost always structured as stock and not asset acquisitions, unless it's a divestiture of part of the company." What this means is that in these transactions, deal price can vary if a fluctuation or a fall in public market value occurs between the date in which the deal is initiated and when it is finalized and closed.
Valuation and deal terms are two of many factors to be cognizant of while anticipating a merger or acquisition. In our next post, we will address option conversions and tax treatments. Be sure to check back for more useful information for understanding the future of your stock options.
Stock Connections specializes in working with San Francisco Bay Area companies that are involved in mergers & acquisitions, are raising capital, or creating stock option or other equity plans. We help start-up, private and public firms become – and remain – SEC-compliant. Stock Connections' services are designed to help both start-ups and established firms comply with SEC and other regulations in their equity compensation programs. If you or anyone you know is looking to get involved with any of the above, we encourage you to contact us today.

Review by Suze
Emma goes to the same high school as the rich Belle Mère kids, but she isn't one of them. Her father owns a pawnshop she practically runs by herself, because he isn't able to do it any longer. Her stepfather is rich, but Emma and her mother aren't close and she doesn't spend much time with them. The West family is one of the most prestigious in the area and there's a lot of animosity between Emma's family and the Wests. When Emma's best friends takes her to an invitation only party thrown by Monroe West she's curious enough to enter the building. When it's made clear she isn't welcome she decides to take a detour before going home, it might be the only chance she gets to see more of the home of her father's archenemy.
Emma meets Jameson, a guy she's never seen before. He's nice to talk to and to look at, so she decides to stay at the West property just a little bit longer. When she wakes up the next morning she's on her own. Emma quickly leaves the West resort, but finds out her night with the perfect stranger has a lot more impact than she initially thought. Someone has been murdered and Jameson is the prime suspect. Could he really have killed someone or is he being blamed for something he hasn't done? What will happen when the police start asking questions?
Gilt: By Invitation Only is a gripping story about a seventeen-year-old girl who has a hard life. Emma lost her sister, her father is an alcoholic and her mother rather spends her time somewhere else. Emma has to run a business while going to school and she has to look after her dad. She's independent, she can take care of herself and she isn't afraid to speak her mind. I love the bold way she talks. Jameson is handsome and he's really sweet to Emma. Their night together is amazing, but it ends in a dramatic way which intrigued from the start.
Geneva Lee leaves clues and she slowly uncovers secrets. She is completely in control of the information she gives to her readers and it's clear she knows how to build tension. The Gilt series keeps me on the edge of my seat and I love it. Gilt: By Invitation Only ends with a spectacular cliffhanger and I couldn't wait to read more. I highly recommend this amazing first part of the series.

Review by Suze
Emma is in Palm Springs where she's recovering from her accident. Emma hasn't spent much time with her mother in the years since she left for a reason and even though her mother wants her to stay Emma feels like she has to go back to Las Vegas. Her best friend shows her an Instagram profile with pictures of the Belle Mère crowd. What does this person want and are there any clues to be found in the photographs?
Jameson is out of prison and visits Emma in Palm Springs as soon as he has the chance. They want to keep seeing each other, but things have just become even more complicated because they're now both police suspects. Emma wants to know why they would think she could have committed the crime and if she needs a lawyer. She and Jameson have to stick together, they are each other's alibis and the murderer is still out there. They also might be falling in love with one another. Who can Emma trust and where can she go?
Gilt: Sin Never Sleeps is just as captivating as Gilt: By Invitation Only. I love Geneva Lee's vivid writing. It's obvious she knows her locations through and through. She writes about the rich and famous with much confidence, but she also isn't afraid to show her readers the other side of Las Vegas, the rotten, hidden counterpart of all the luxury and glitter and glamour. She writes about a fascinating world and a thought-provoking case. I couldn't wait to get more pieces of the puzzle and to receive some much desired clues. Geneva Lee knows how to get her readers hooked and her finales are fantastic.
In Gilt: Sin Never Sleeps the reader gets the chance to know Emma and Jameson a lot better. I loved seeing their relationship develop. Emma has even more difficulties to deal with, but she's as strong and resilient as ever. She isn't afraid to confront people and does some digging of her own. I loved every new direction Geneva Lee lets her main characters take. There are plenty of surprising twists and turns and they're all equally compelling. I was sad when the story ended, because I wasn't ready to stop reading yet. I desperately want to know who committed the murder and why and already can't wait to get my hands on the next Gilt book.

On Thursday, Malkin and Kessel played basketball following the Wholesale Shayne Gostisbehere jersey team's media day. Malkin evidently stole the show.
Alexander Burmistrov jersey elite
"I'm a hometown boy. You don't really think that day is going to happen, where you're playing for the Winnipeg Jets jersey Canadiens," said Drouin.The Avalanche have been one of the Detroit Red Wings jersey worst defensive teams in the NHL for a couple of years now and still have a defense that looks to be woefully undermanned on paper. Even after finally signing restricted free agent Nikita Zadorov they only have four NHL defensemen under contract for the 2016-17 season. Five if you include prospect Andrei Mironov. So there is obviously a spot to be had if he can impress in training camp and the preseason.
They looked terrific Friday, although that's probably not much of a surprise. wholesale hockey jersey China Kessel spent the summer training with Gary Roberts in Toronto and completed his Alexander Burmistrov jersey elite post-practice conditioning with ease. Malkin's strides were the norm: long and powerful. His vision finding Kessel with passes was evident, his precision pinpoint.
Cheap Tomas Jurco jersey
"Jonathan's an extremely talented young man. I expect that he's going to have a long and successful career," said Yzerman.
The Rangers had come Cheap Tomas Jurco jersey back from 5-1 down to tie the game with three second-period goals.
The PlayerDrouin broke through mens Toby Enstrom jersey last season with 21 goals and 32 points in 73 games for the Lightning, after posting 14 points in 17 games in the 2016 playoffs. That was scratching the surface of his potential. As Steven Stamkos put it: He's going to be a stud.
One day proves nothing, of course, except for cheap nhl jerseys Sullivan wanting to see how things looked right off the bat.This isn't, however, the first time Brown Taylor Leier jersey Authentic raised his fist. He did the same in a preseason game versus the Florida Panthers on Sept. 28, and explained afterward to Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times that the demonstration was a "middle ground for those who say kneeling for the anthem disrespects the flag."
Danny DeKeyser China jersey
Jonathan Huberdeau Philadelphia Flyers jersey signed at 23 for six years and a $5.9 million cap hit in 2016. Filip Forsberg signed for six years and $6 million annually at 21, also in 2016.
Vegas coach Gerard Gallant was happy with the Danny DeKeyser China jersey way his youngsters performed, but like his players, also took the opportunity to soak in the moment.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop support for the annotation of educational resources within a digital library and their subsequent integration with distance learning course materials in a virtual learning environment.
Design/methodology/approach – A toolset for supporting the annotation of structured course materials was developed in participation with subject librarians, lecturers and library cataloguers.
Findings – The transparency of support provided by the system was found to be an important factor influencing the acceptance of the toolset. The approach was to facilitate rather than automate the annotation tasks of the subject librarians, lecturers and cataloguers.
Research limitations/implications – The tools developed were used in two pilot applications: one for an undergraduate health and social care course, and the second for a postgraduate science communication course. The implications of the research are not limited to these domains, and further applications of this approach and the toolset would help to further generalize and refine the work done.
Originality/value – The value of the work described here is in identifying the benefits of transparent support tools for multi-disciplinary teams involved in the production and deployment of online course materials. Here the benefits of metadata annotation are highlighted by enabling the subject librarians, lecturers and cataloguers to see how the annotations are made and the consequences of those choices.

Risk levels and permit classifications
The following information is provided to assist you in determining what food permit to apply for and obtain. Permits are now based on risk levels determined by type of food and preparation steps. The more complex the menu and preparation of foods, the higher the risk level, which in turn relates to more frequent inspection of your establishment.
This information will help you determine your risk level and permit classification when you are filling out your application for a permit.
- Risk Level 1
This risk level is assigned to a permit that allows limited preparation steps of potentially hazardous foods, such as hot dogs, and includes sectioning of melons, heating of individually pre-packaged ready-to-eat foods for immediate service without opening of the package, and preparation of espresso and/or blended drinks. It also includes cold holding of commercially pre-packaged ready-to-eat foods, such as sandwiches, without opening of the package. Risk 1 does not include hot holding of food. Mobile cart operations with espresso are included in this risk category as are mobile trucks with frozen foods or meat. These types of operations are inspected once a year.
- Risk Level 2
This risk level is assigned to a permit that allows food processing steps such as receiving, storing, preparing, cold holding, and serving potentially hazardous foods. It does not include hot holding of food. It includes limited preparation steps, such as baking bread, frying donuts, and grilling or toasting sandwiches for immediate service. Examples of this type of operation include on-site baking with raw shell eggs as an ingredient, making smoothies with fresh fruit and/or fresh vegetables, opening ready to eat prepackaged foods for heating or service, cooking waffle cones or cake mixes. Grocery stores with pre-packaged raw meat, poultry, or seafood are also included. These operations receive one routine inspection and one educational visit each year with the exception of schools which receive two routine inspections.
- Risk Level 3
This risk level is assigned to a permit that allows operations with complex food preparation steps, including thawing, cutting, cooking, cooling, cold holding, reheating, hot holding, and serving of potentially hazardous foods. It includes all operations that provide cooking or hot holding of foods, including meat and seafood markets and mobile trucks. These operations receive two routine inspections and one educational visit each year.
Permit Classification (PE) numbers are listed on the back of the application form and, depending on your level of risk, your classification number will be determined accordingly. General Food Service categories (formerly Restaurants, Food Processors and Taverns) are based upon seating and the risk level involved. Classifications are also listed for bakery operations, caterers, grocery stores, meat/fish markets, bed and breakfast operations, schools, non-profit organizations, etc. Each of these categories has a risk level of 1, 2, or 3 attached to it based upon the type of food service provided.
Note: Owners of small grocery stores with no more than 2 checkout stands and no more than 12 seats shall only have a single permit and pay a single fee in the highest applicable risk category (i.e. a deli with a separate meat market.)
If you need assistance to determine your permit classification and risk level, call the Food Protection program at 206-263-9566 or toll-free: 800-325-6165, ext. 3-9566.

North Haven Preschool
As you may have heard, the North Haven Community Association Board recently very reluctantly made the decision to close our Preschool after the spring session. We did not arrive at the decision lightly; it has long been a valued part of our community.
The North Haven preschool was started many years ago by a local parent as a community playschool with a mandatory volunteer component. In recent years we have been told by parents they do not want to have to volunteer. We changed the program to make volunteering not mandatory, but licensing rules stipulated the hiring of an extra worker. Enrollment has decreased year over year, and we cannot continue to subsidize the program to the extent we have been in the last few years. We have gone from having a full contingent of 24 or even 25 in each of the 3 and 4 year old classes 11 or 12 yrs ago, with a very strong volunteer base, to only 6 children registered in the current 3 year class. Of these 6, only 1 has registered for the fall. Based on a projection of 6 or fewer in the 3 year class and at best 8 or 10 for the 4 year old class, we reluctantly came to the conclusion that closure was the best choice for the time being.
We wanted to inform people early enough that they could make alternate arrangements for fall. We will be exploring options for the space, including an outside run preschool, the feasibility of a daycare or the possibility of restarting the community run preschool. If you are interested in helping the Board explore the options, please come to our next Board meeting on April 13 at 7pm or contact Jody Breen ( email@example.com ) or myself at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thank you to everyone who has been a part of the Preschool over the years. Thank you to those who have taught and those who volunteered at the preschool. We have had wonderful, dedicated teachers who have helped our children grow and learn and they have helped us create many special memories. We will miss them and the contributions they have made to our children's lives and to our community.
Jean Togstad
President, North Haven Community Association

There are so many reasons why an image might be my favourite. Sometimes it's the lighting and sometimes it's the location and sometimes it's the subject, but for the most it's the story behind the image. This year I could have chosen the best light or the best composition or the best technical stuff but instead I chose some images that have a story behind them. Here are a few of my favourites from 2014.
An image can be gift for someone very special. Maybe you even sneak that someone very specials personal item out and add it to your image. Or it could even be that your lipstick matches your shoes and it lights up the image like a firecracker.
It might be the moment you have an additonal bride trying to steal your thunder.
But more likely it's the message behind your ink that makes you happy when you see it.
It could be that special session that you have that will continue to bring you memories of something or someone that meant the world to you.
It could be the perfect pose that only a dancer can create in a blink of an eye. ( and the sunset…. it's always the sunset)
It might be the location. A location that no longer exists in the same form. A location that has alot of meaning to those who have lived and grown up there. A location that is covered with a beauty of its own.
It could be your gramma making faces so that you will stand still long enough to get that perfect shot.
It could be a beginning to something beautiful.
It could be the moment of joy that you have when you are a child enjoying the nature the way it was intended.
It's possible it's a moment of connection between Mother and Daughter
or between lovers.
It might be a moment when you look at your family and say damn…. I am one lucky man.
It might just be that inside joke you have with your two favorite people. Your sisters.
or your cool new gloves and the fact that you are growing up so fast.
It could be the love of a new little member to an already amazing family.
or the realization that your children are growing to be amazing young adults bursting with talent.
How about your infectious smile and attitude which contributes to your success in business.
or a body transformation that gives you strength health and peace.
It will depict an adventure ahead of you that empowers your mind body and soul.
or the coolest outfit that makes getting your picture taken that much easier.
It could be something old something new something borrowed and something blue
or a difficult change that teaches you how powerful you really are.
It might be a quiet moment with the love or your life
or the sheer joy of knowing that you will be adding more love to an already amazing life.
Photography is about the human connection. Perfect or not it will touch a part of your soul and capture a moment in time worth keeping.
Be Beautiful | Be Amazing | Be YOU

Auntie Meg's Mocha
As I said, Auntie Meg loved to put a little "something" in her coffee, which inspired me to create this delicious cocktail featuring RumChata and Cold Brew Coffee. It has a little Tequila, in tribute to Auntie Meg's travels in Mexico. The Nutmeg is fragrant and vibrant. The coffee beans on top also add to the overall experience by adding a strong coffee aroma.
We all had families and mortgages and grown-up-jobs when she finally passed away at 99. All our friends that used hang around at Auntie Meg's house came for the funeral. Some flew from far away to be there. The whole town attended. The church was standing room only.
We hung around after...drinking coffee with a little something in it, toasting to Auntie Meg's adventurous life.
* The Sea Salt must have a fine texture to be incorporated into the drink. If your salt is too coarse, you can dissolve it in a little hot water to create a saline solution.
** I created my own Vanilla Extract by soaking vanilla beans in vodka for a week. Please do not use Imitation Vanilla Extract!

4/28/2019 07:16:19 pm
Since we will be having a party next week, I am currently in search of a cocktail mix that will be loved by everyone. Of course, it has to be a fresh recipe since we almost tried everything already. I can feel that Auntie Meg's Mocha Cocktail is something that they haven't tried yet that's why I am excited to have it presented to them! I am hoping that more things are about to come, hopefully more cocktail recipes Weill be here!

Morning Glory Top - FREE Sewing Pattern
The Morning Glory Top sewing pattern is a simple and fun shirt to sew and wear. It can be tied in the front or back and pairs well with high waisted pants or skirts.
"This FREE pattern/tutorial is a dream. It's super simple and is a blissfully happy medium between a ready-made pattern and drafting my own. I'm so happy with how it turned out! It sewed up in an easy hour and is a fantastic project for beginners, especially since it's a very accessible way to understand how patterns are made and how the geometry of sewing works out. I was my first experience with French seams and man alive, they are so satisfying!"
- Rachael
"I just made the Morning Glory top and Sarah Kirsten is winning my heart right now with her simple and clever designs. No need for paper pattern pieces, her instructions lead you through cutting the pieces with a few measurements. Finishing with French seam and double turned hems feels polished and luxurious. It's all about the details."

Finally, a couple of months ago my sister-in-law, Gigi, and I took an afternoon and started at the edge of town and went down Main St. stopping at every small shop that caught our eye.
I came home with a couple of prizes {ex: large, teal pyrex in mint condition}...
"ain't she pretty?!"and new found appreciation for small shops.
By the way, I visited a yarn shop not two minutes from my house and though the prices are higher, the selection is amazing, boasting yarn made here in town all the way to yarn from Italy}, and the quality is way beyond what I can find at the big box craft stores around here. Yay for local!
{But that's another story all together!}
BACK TO THE POINT...I also found a lovely shop that sells unique frames!
I have loved interesting picture frames since as far back as I can remember but I've discovered that 1. they are nearly impossible to find and 2. once you find them, they're often pricey.
This shop had them on sale for 50% at prices I considered buy-worthy so I snagged these two
Step 2. prime and paint. I used a white spray paint to start.
Step 4. Once it has completely dried, rally your paints and a medium bristled paint brush for some easy aging...
I found that using just one color gave the finish a "chunky", stark look so I gently mixed these two to get a more random finish. I added a little water in some spots as I brushed it on to keep the effect patchy and let the paint sit for just a minute or two.
Step 5. Using a wet microfiber cloth, I wipes off the excess paint. In some spots the paint stuck nicely into the grooves, in others it just wiped away so I used the cloth to wipe more or less of as I liked. I also over-cleaned in some places and went back with another round of paint and let it sit longer. This step is is very versatile and open to creativity. Since you're washing it off, it's difficult to mess this up.
Step 6. Let dry and hang.
This is a temporary hanging for me because I'm going to make this a cork board soon to pin the pictures up. For now, this is what I've got and even with the pink, I lurv it!

Elmo, Where Have You Been All My Life!
6 comments:
I'm thinking about getting one. Do you sit it on your demo table?ReplyDelete
Yes, I sit it on my demo table and I had to put a couple of book under it to make it higher so that you can see larger pieces of paper. It zooms and has an auto focus. I can also take still picture and videos to make tutorials.ReplyDelete
Nice idea! I may try this!ReplyDelete

I have the Elmo and I could not live without my technology setup. I also have a laptop and projector and most of my visuals are now converted to PowerPoint. Will help so much as I travel or when I change schools or jobs!ReplyDelete
Check out my blog- Glad I stopped by yours!
The ART of Education
I agree, I would prefer not to live without technology it is awesome and the kids really like it and are very engaged. I think it is funny when the little kindergartners are so amazed that they can see my hands on the projector.ReplyDelete
I am DESPERATE for an Elmo!! Our school has a document camera which I have yet to try out... do you have any experience on those?ReplyDelete

Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter
Stand Alone
Harper | June 12th, 2012
Adult Fiction | Historical
Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
The story begins in 1962. On a rocky patch of the sun-drenched Italian coastline, a young innkeeper, chest-deep in daydreams, looks out over the incandescent waters of the Ligurian Sea and spies an apparition: a tall, thin woman, a vision in white, approaching him on a boat. She is an actress, he soon learns, an American starlet, and she is dying.
And the story begins again today, half a world away, when an elderly Italian man shows up on a movie studio's back lot—searching for the mysterious woman he last saw at his hotel decades earlier.
What unfolds is a dazzling, yet deeply human, roller coaster of a novel, spanning fifty years and nearly as many lives. From the lavish set of Cleopatra to the shabby revelry of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Walter introduces us to the tangled lives of a dozen unforgettable characters: the starstruck Italian innkeeper and his long-lost love; the heroically preserved producer who once brought them together and his idealistic young assistant; the army veteran turned fledgling novelist and the rakish Richard Burton himself, whose appetites set the whole story in motion—along with the husbands and wives, lovers and dreamers, superstars and losers, who populate their world in the decades that follow.
Gloriously inventive, constantly surprising, Beautiful Ruins is a story of flawed yet fascinating people, navigating the rocky shores of their lives while clinging to their improbable dreams.
Beautiful Ruins opens in a small coastal town in Italy with an innkeeper who dreams of great things for his tiny hotel and his equally small town. One day, while he was busy creating a sandy beach for his potential guests to sunbathe on, a mysterious American actress in need of rest checks in. He finds out that this actress is sick and maybe even dying. Her name is Dee Moray; she just finished filming her small role in an Elizabeth Taylor/Richard Burton saga, Cleopatra. Dee Moray's beauty and elegance captured the attention of Pasquale Tursi. Over time, he becomes her champion. He falls in love but he knew Dee Moray is never going to love him the way he loves her. He's no stranger to heartbreaks and so he would remain forever in love with her until the end of time.
This is their story; decades of parallel lives connected only through their history of what ifs and could've been's. It may seem pointless, as most of these missed-connections stories go, but it's not. The beauty of this book lies in the stories of characters in the past and the present. Imbued with the rich landscape of old Italy and Hollywood's retro glamour, Beautiful Ruins was the perfect escapist dream.
There'd been a lot of tales about the disaster that was Cleopatra. At the time of production, it was plagued with over budget issues and cantankerous lead actors. Michael Deane, a Hollywood lackey was sent to Italy to save the movie somehow. He did so by taking advantage of Elizabeth Taylor's inability to be loyal to her current beau. At the time, she's being branded as a Jezebel for leaving her husband and stealing Eddie Fisher from Debbie Reynolds. While filming Cleopatra, she has an affair with Richard Burton. And the American people are not looking too kindly on her. So Michael Deane, in a burst of inspiration, decided that capitalize on the very thing that the world was hating her for. His role in Dee Moray's life is important, and by association, in Pasquale's life.
Decades into the present, all their lives will collide in the most tender and more often, heartbreaking way possible. I love untangling all the threads in this novel. It was expansive, but not too complicated. The writing is exquisite in such a way that it's not pretending to be something it's not; simple and every bit as beautiful as the stories it convey. The setting is so perfect – dramatic, outlandish at times, and romantic. Even the short stint in Europe that showed the novel's dark side evoked the right emotions even for a moment. The thing about Beautiful Ruins is that it's tough to relate to the characters sometimes. And it's not because they're so unlikable. It's because the story moved so fast that readers aren't given the chance to get comfortable. But I enjoyed it immensely. Because the thing about this book is that you're not supposed to savour it. You're supposed to take a step back and see the big picture. After the reader connected all the dots and tied all the knots the way they're supposed to be done, the end result is pure magnificence. I'm glad I got to read it and with the movie now in the works, I'm excited to see it in the big screen.

Here it is. The tutu that was rejected from the Winter Wonderland outfit! I'm glad I made it though because she loves to wear it! She wakes up everyday and points at it and says "Tutu!" My heart melts 😊

Roller Skate Button Down Dress
I made this very simple modification on the Oliver + S Roller Skate Dress. This pattern is so awesome because it is such versatile starting point for many projects. So for this one, I kept the main shape of the dress the same as the original but I didn't line the dress. Instead, I included a button down front to make the shirt dress. I did also keep the elastic at the waist (but used a bias binding casing to put it in) and then, I finished all the edges with bias binding. Technically I could have finished the bottom without bias tape but it was late, and I had really gotten into the whole bias tape thing (and I cut a couple inches off the bottom, thought it would be too short and the baby was sleeping so I couldn't measure it). Luckily, it's a little big so she has room to grow into it a bit.
I'm currently crocheting a little sweater that I can pair with this dress to bring it into fall/winter.
New Pattern Joy!
I get really excited when Oliver + S releases new patterns! And I loved all three that were released and had to pick just one 😦 It was a seriously hard decision but since fall and winter are fast approaching, I went with the new Playtime Tunic.
Actually it's supposed to have long sleeves, but I had this bicycle fabric laying around and I thought it would be perfect for this! And I only had 1/4 yard. So I shortened the tunic length and squeezed the pattern onto the fabric and forced it to fit. Anyway, it's still warm enough outside for short sleeves 🙂
I have been so excited for this walking stage because, let's face it, it's hard to get great pictures of clothes on a kid who is sitting. So I was super excited for this photo shoot since it's the first one since she really started walking… I have now learned how very difficult it is to get a good picture of a little one who just wants to run around the backyard and play. Also, she doesn't understand "SMILE!!!" just yet!
Back to the outfit: I found these buttons in my button stash that I received from my husband's grandmother. I thought they were just perfect since they sort of looks like wheels of a bicycle.
I just thought this picture was too sweet not to share 🙂 Anyway, I love this pattern and I've already made two tunics to match these green leggings I've made. I really enjoyed making leggings on my machine. While it's always amazing and fun to make things well beyond the quality (and the level of detail/customization/personal fit) that you can get from the store, it is also fun to make things that looks so store bought that no one even asks you if you made them.

You can't miss me
If you have an IG account and follow pet products, you may have noticed the array of options in dog gear/accessories.
What stood out for me are LED collars.
It's one of those things where it never occurred to me that I wanted one, until I saw all the options.
I live in San Francisco, so most of the time I don't need one because there are always street lights, but sometimes I go running in the evening, in the rain, and sometimes I'm in Tahoe, where it's pitch black at night. I don't mind, but mom gets freaked out. And sometimes I run off ;P
Plus, I'm a sucker for trying new things so we decided to check out a couple of options. One was a fail but the other is one of our favorites:
Fail: Paw Prime
This is actually a fabric (vinyl?) flat buckle collar with the lights built in. It has a small battery pack with a power button that can be pressed 3x for different modes: fast blinking, slow blinking, persistent. They also sell LED leashes, which are essentially the same thing as the collars, material-wise, with the battery pack, and 3 light modes.
I got a large based on sizing recommendations but I guess my neck is furrier than I thought because when I wear it you can barely see the collar, and my fur covers a lot of the light. Plus, the collar seems a bit too narrow. The leash is super short (good thing I'm big!). I think mom used it once and pretty much put it away. She's not a fan of the material even though it's weather-resistant, it feels too rough to the touch. I guess we'll try and use these until the battery dies out so they're not a complete waste.
The other thing that mom finds weird is that these products are from China and are always discounted. They kind of seem like cheap products. When she bought them a few months ago they were running a promo where you could get the collar at a huge discount (almost 50% off) and then the LED leash for free. We just checked the website and that same promo is still running. It also took forever to get the products since they actually shipped from China. Mom actually forgot she bought them until they arrived.
Overall the products are just not impressive, feel cheap, and the battery pack just makes no sense.
WIN: Halo lights
While this is a collar, it can't substitute a normal collar, so even though that means I have to wear one more thing, it's really no big deal, and because it's so well made, it's worth it!
Halo lights is different in that: one, it's made in the US; two, some of the models are waterproof; three, it's customizable, and lastly, it's RECHARGEABLE!
In simple doggie language, this looks like a rubber tube with little lights in it. You cut it to size and then voila! You have yourself a LED collar.
The Halo Lights collar also has 3 settings, and since this sits nicely on top of my fluffy neck (instead of buried in it) the lights are super clear. You can also check out my IG account for more videos.
The Halo Lights collar is definitely a pricier option (~$40.00) but I think it's worth it to keep me safe, and it'll last a long time. We've only had to charge it once since getting it, and it's so easy to do!
For those who are wondering, I have the HALOLV Blue V.3
I'm becoming a high tech dog!

I decided my "Tennis Pearls of Wisdom" is great for my tennis evolution, but not really so great for this blog. So this being my 100th blog today, I have invented a second blog that just is my pearls that I am writing down for myself or whoever else is a slow learner like I am. I am excited because it is a reasonable goal that I should integrate the information instead of continuing with my "Same Ol', Same Ol'" approach to tennis. I have heard the exact same thing said to me hundreds of times, no, probably thousands of times.... take the ball early, follow through, position yourself away from the ball, move your feet, fast feet, slow hands, take the net, keep a firm wrist on volleys, etc., etc., etc.. This blog is about breast cancer and tennis. That blog will only be about tennis. ( I like tennis better than I like cancer. It is more fun.)
My other blog which is really just about me memorializing what I learn at tennis is:
It will probably be quite boring for anyone other than me, but I am excited!

Part 1
With the winter season officially here, every homeowner should be aware of common homeownership maintenance problems and preventative options for alleviating unexpected costs and time. Consider preparing your home for the winter season with the following suggestions that will be posted in parts of this preventative maintenance series:
Reverse your ceiling fans
If you're able switch your ceiling fan to reverse, the fan will naturally produce an updraft and push heated air down into the room from the ceiling. You'll save energy, especially in larger rooms where heat rises, and be able to keep your thermostat lower.
Prevent 'ice damming' from your roof
Take important steps to prevent damage to your gutters, roof, and more if you experienced lots of icicles, or worse yet ice dams last winter. Ice dams cause water to back up and flow into your house, are heavy enough to damage your gutters, and place unneeded stress upon your roof materials. A vast majority of these issues are caused from poor air flow, air leaks, or lack of soffit vents. A weatherization contractor can identify and fix air leaks and inadequate insulation in your attic that can lead to ice dams. You may also be able to find a federal energy-efficiency tax credit, as well as state or utility rebates as well.
Tune up your heating system
To achieve maximum manufacturer rating efficiency, hire a Heating and Cooling Technician for roughly $100 to inspect and clean your furnace. Remember to change your air filter regularly, and have a couple extra filters on hand in case you run out.
Check back for Part 2 soon, and don't forget to see how Home Fax Inspections and Nationwide Home Fax help you Know the Home Before You Buy in the meantime!
