Would the 24-70mm f4 be considered a wide angle lens? I feel instinctively the aperture at f4 is fairly wide. I bought this back in May and have had great results in low light shoots and did wonder under really challenging conditions if it is in fact considered a wide angle lens by some.
Canon EF 24-70mm f/4 L IS USM Preview
Preview based on a pre-production Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM
Back in September Canon introduced the EOS 6D, its entry into the nascent 'compact, lightweight' full frame SLR segment. With the launch of the EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM, Canon has now revealed what's destined to be its 'kit' lens. The newcomer is relatively compact in size to match the ethos of the 6D body design, but sports the company's premium 'L' series designation. However this comes with a price tag that's sure to make more than a few Canon users catch their breath - we've been told the the RRP will be $1499 / £1499.99 / €1459. What remains to be seen, though, is how much it will cost in a kit with the 6D body.
The 24-70mm f/4 includes one relatively unusual feature - a macro mode offering up to 0.7x magnification, which is accessed by pulling forward the zoom lock switch and rotating the zoom ring past the 70mm mark. This is complemented by Canon's 'Hybrid IS' that's specifically designed to give better performance for close-up work than conventional IS systems (which tend to be ineffective for macro work). Overall this should add useful extra capability compared to most other standard zooms.
Aside from that, the specification is much as we'd expect from a premium Canon optic. The lens is dust- and splash-resistant, including a rubber seal around the mount. It incorporates a ring-type ultrasonic motor for fast, silent autofocusing, and offers full-time manual focus. The aperture uses a nine-bladed circular iris for attractive rendition of blurred backgrounds, and the front element has a fingerprint-resistant 'fluorine' coating. On paper at least, this all looks like an attractive package.
Headline features
- 24-70mm focal length; constant f/4 maximum aperture
- Macro mode with 0.7x magnification
- 'Hybrid IS' optical image stabilization - 4 stops for normal shooting, 2.5 stops for macro
- Dust- and splash-proof design
- EF mount for APS-C and full frame Canon SLRs (and EOS M via Mount adapter EF-EOS M)

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Hemorrhagic disease of the newborn (HDN) is a bleeding disorder in babies. It most often develops shortly after a baby is born.
Vitamin K deficiency bleeding; VKDB
A lack of vitamin K causes hemorrhagic disease of the newborn. Vitamin K plays an important role in blood clotting.
Babies often have low levels of vitamin K for a variety of reasons. Vitamin K does not move easily across the placenta from the mother to the baby. As a result, a newborn does not have much vitamin K stored-up at birth. Also, there is not much vitamin K in breast milk.
Your baby may develop this condition if:
The condition is grouped into three categories:
Newborns and infants with the following problems involving the gastrointestinal tract are more likely to develop this disorder:
The condition causes bleeding. The most common areas of bleeding include:
There may also be:
Blood clotting tests will be done.
The diagnosis is confirmed if a vitamin K shot stops the bleeding and blood clotting time (prothrombin time) is within normal limits.
Vitamin K is given if bleeding occurs. Patients with severe bleeding may need blood transfusions.
The outlook tends to be worse for babies with late onset hemorrhagic disease than other forms. There is a higher rate of bleeding inside the skull (intracranial hemorrhage) associated with the late onset condition.
Call your doctor if your baby has any unexplained bleeding.
The early onset form of the disease may be prevented by giving vitamin K shots to pregnant women who take anti-seizure medications.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends giving every baby a shot of vitamin K immediately after birth. This practice has helped prevent the classic and late-onset forms of the condition, which is now rare in the U.S.

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - Two Westminster College students were recently nominated for the Barry Goldwater Scholarship for their research in natural sciences.
Samuel Mellon, a junior physics major; and Lauren Stoczynski, a junior biology major; were nominated for the award by Dr. Craig Caylor, associate professor of physics, department chair, and Westminster faculty representative for the Barry Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Program. Caylor was named as a Goldwater Scholar in 1994.
In order to be nominated the student must be a current sophomore or junior, have at least a 3.0 GPA and be in the top 25 percent of their class, have U.S. citizenship/be a permanent resident, and have an interest in a career in mathematics, natural sciences, or engineering. Additionally, they must provide the faculty representative with letters of recommendation, a written essay discussing a significant issue or problem in the student's field of study, and additional application essays. The student's course grades are also a factor in the nomination process.
"Sam and Lauren both have excellent academic records at Westminster, as evidenced by their grades and by the supportive recommendation letters they received from Westminster faculty members," Caylor said. "Moreover, the essays that were part of their application packages indicated both commitment to a career in science and depth of thought about their chosen research interests."
Mellon is a son of David and Martha Mellon and a graduate of Bradford Area High School. His research involves the observation of planets outside of our solar system. He has conducted research with Dr. Thomas Oberst in Westminster's Physics Department.
Stoczynski is a daughter of David and Donna Stoczynski of Erie and a graduate of Harbor Creek High School. Her research involves her interest in preserving coral reefs.
The Barry Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Program has provided federally endowed scholarships since 1989 and provides approximately 300 scholarships per year. Each award is worth up to $7,500 a year for one to two years.
According to the program's website "the purpose of the Foundation is to provide a continuing source of highly qualified scientists, mathematicians, and engineers by awarding scholarships to college students who intend to pursue careers in these fields."
Westminster College ranks first in the nation as "Best College for Women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math," according to Forbes.com.

It is one of the most commonly encountered upper respiratory problems caused by inflammation of the nasal passages. This inflammation of the nasal mucous membranes is triggered by an allergic reaction to an offending agent.
Allergic rhinitis may occur in all age groups but it has a higher frequency of occurrence in children. It affects men and women equally.
The signs and symptoms of allergic rhinitis mimic that of the common cold. Running nose, frequent sneezing and irritation in nose and throat are the commonest symptoms. Other features include red, watery eyes, sore throat, blocked ears and headache. Repeated attacks of allergic reactions may impair the sense of smell. Clinical features of allergic rhinitis are not serious, but they may be a source of considerable distress to the individual.
Any allergic reaction affecting the nasal passages may trigger an inflammatory response, as a result of which a chemical substance, histamine gets released. Histamine causes increased congestion and swelling of mucous membrane lining the nose and nasal passages. Allergic rhinitis is more frequent in persons with a positive family history of allergic disorders like allergic rhinitis itself, allergic dermatitis and bronchial asthma. Structural abnormality like deviated nasal septum may also predispose a person to allergic rhinitis. Some allergic irritants that may trigger inflammation of nasal passages include plant pollens, house dust, moulds and sudden changes in temperatures. Outdoor pollution like cigarette smoke, industrial and vehicular smoke may also set off an allergic response. Carpets, pets and fur clothes are some other allergic agents which should be avoided.
Repeated episodes of allergic reactions affect sleep and concentration resulting in poor performance. Other complications of allergic rhinitis include concurrent ear infections, inflammation of the sinuses and persistent headache. Long standing rhinitis may herald complete loss of the sense of smell.
Detailed medical history including family history together with comprehensive physical examination of the nose, the ear and the throat will confirm the diagnosis of allergic rhinitis in an individual.
Unfortunately this condition is incurable but the good part is that it can be effectively controlled and treated. The goal of the treatment is to alleviate the distressing symptoms. Avoid exposure to allergic agents. Nasal saline wash can be used to clear nasal congestion and irritation. Other medications which may be prescribed are oral preparations of nasal decongestant and anti-allergic agents. Steroidal nasal sprays are another option when the above measures fail. Another treatment modality called immunotherapy may be considered when a satisfactory response to the medical treatment is not observed. It can only be considered if the identification of the offending agent is possible. Surgery may be required for the correction of the deviated nasal septum.

February 2, 2012 – For Immediate Release
ELKHART, Indiana — PSAV Presentation Services is the world's largest A/V rental supplier with more than 800 offices worldwide, many located on-site at major hotels. Headquartered in Long Beach, CA, PSAV specializes in providing in-house audiovisual services to the hospitality industry for meetings and events, and maintains one of the largest, most up to date equipment inventories in the industry.
PSAV has been using HARMAN's Crown Audio VRack complete amplification system since its introduction. The Crown VRack is a turnkey, out-of-the-box amplifier rack system that includes three I-Tech HD I-T12000 power amplifiers, a versatile input panel with analog and digital connections and a globally universal power distribution system that can be set to meet US and international power standards. All the components are housed in a wheeled rack that can be flown in the same manner as a line array loudspeaker system.
"Typically, a hotel sells the meeting space and we work with the end client to provide the equipment and labor required to manage the event," noted Jacob Ingle, Audio Product Manager for PSAV. "Since we own all of our equipment, we have to select products that are cost-effective, efficient and reliable in order to maintain a profitable bottom line."
"We have been using HARMAN products for quite a long time and even discussed building pre-configured amp racks with Crown before VRack was introduced. When they introduced the VRack, it was the perfect solution for a number of our amplification needs," continued Ingle.
"One of our goals is to standardize gear as much as possible so our technicians can move from location to location and be familiar with the equipment they're going to use," said Ingle. "Having a unified amplifier package like VRack makes this a lot easier. We have many locations large and small, and VRack is adaptable to different situations because it allows multiple configurations for analog and digital inputs, for different types of speakers and for system networking," stated Ingle.
"Crown's VRack is the perfect solution for the audio rental supplier because of its benefits as a plug-and-play solution for customers like Jacob who face an ever-changing set of challenges based on each event," stated Brian Pickowitz, Marketing Manager for Crown.
"Another major advantage is that VRack interfaces with Harman's HiQnet Performance Manager™ system design and setup software and is specifically designed to work with JBL VERTEC® loudspeakers. Because we use a lot of JBL, Soundcraft and other HARMAN gear in addition to Crown, VRack becomes part of an all-in-one solution where all components 'talk to each other' using HiQnet. This makes system setup and operation much easier and a great deal more efficient," added Ingle.

Selecting an asphalt company isn't always the easiest task. Even if you've spoken to friends and colleagues and done a bit of your own research online, you may not always be happy with your final choice. You may even find yourself questioning the company's ability to tackle the task at hand. Whether it's as complex as handling your whole parking lot or as simple as asphalt parking lot striping, visiting their website isn't always going to allay all of your fears. Instead, ask yourself these simple questions if you're concerned.
• Do they offer a number of different services?
It's great to have a company that does one thing, and does it quite well, but most of the best asphalt paving companies offer so much more than simple paving services. Many of them offer extensive repair work, seal coating, striping, maintenance, and much more. The more standard add-on services your given company offers, the better off you'll be as you move forward.
• Do they have other satisfied customers?
This can be a more difficult one, because it's tough to know who is using which company, but a little research can help you learn more about the company you're considering. For example, take a look at impartial ratings sites. See if the company you like has a portfolio of customers you can contact. Be sure to ask other customers about their experiences not only with the actual surface that was paved or repaired, but the company as a whole. You want an affordable service with a level of friendly, professional service.
• Are they Punctual?
If you've made that initial appointment with a contractor, and he or she is unable to keep it for some reason, it's time to put your guard up. You want someone who is serious about your time as well as company time. It's a good indicator of whether your project will actually be finished in a timely manner. While accidents and problems can happen, learning more about how well they respect deadlines and your own calendar is a must.
Not all asphalt paving companies are created equally, and the last thing you want to do is make a choice you're going to regret in the future. Do some solid research before you ever choose the right company to meet your needs. You'll want to get everything in writing as much as possible, and do a little comparison shopping too. Once you find a good company, hold on to them as tightly as possible; you may need their other services in the future!

In Waco, Texas, and throughout the United States, people are taught the importance of seeing a dentist, such as Steven T. Cutbirth DDS on a regular basis. While brushing and flossing can go a long way in preventing plaque buildup and decay, it is not enough to truly defend against infections and other oral complications. A dentist can find cavities before they become painful and can diagnosis and treat gum disease before much damage is done. That preventative care can help a patient maintain a healthy, attractive smile throughout his lifetime.
Unfortunately, millions of Americans get nervous or anxious when visiting the dentist. This issue is amplified even more when the appointment in question will involve a filling or a fitting for some form of dental apparatus. For some patients, the fear is a result of a bad experience in the past. For others, there is no clear source. However, many of individuals are so afraid that they skip- or fail to schedule appointments. This leaves them at risk of decay and infection. It also increases the risk of issues like oral cancer going undetected for long spans of time.
Sedation dentistry relies on forms of sedation that have been found useful in calming and relaxing patients who have been experiencing this phobia. This provides the Waco sedation dentist the opportunity to inspect, clean and repair the teeth without adding to the existing fears. Dentists, dental hygienists, and assistants can often work much faster and more accurately when patients are not fighting or fearing it as well. That means that the person can be in and out more quickly.
There are a number of sedation possibilities, including IV sedatives, tranquilizers, nitrous oxide, and even some anti-anxiety medications in pill form. The decision of which form of sedation will be used often depends on the patients, though the dentist typically try to stick with the oral medication as it doesn't involve any needles or apparatus. Regardless of which is chosen, however, it can reduce discomfort and stress for the duration of the visit. The patient will generally have little memory of the appointment at all.
The practice of using sedation has been a consistent component of the medical field for many years. While many think of it as a means of reducing or avoiding unnecessary physical pain, it can be just as useful for quieting emotional discomfort. The dental field has come to embrace the part it can play in keeping patients happy and healthy. Better yet, in time, with visits going so smoothly, patients can actually begin to notice a reduced fear and a control over the phobia they had never known before. Some have outgrown it completely and found that they no longer require the sedation to sit in the dental chair.
If you find it simply unbearable to follow through with dentist appointments, or you know of someone who suffers with dental phobia, consult your local Waco dentist and inquire about the possibility of sedation. It could, ultimately, save your teeth, your gums, and even your life.

If you want a good deal on a computer or a television, what do you do? You can shop around for good deals. You can ask friends. You can take your time and compare. Once you've found a deal, there's another thing you can do, too – watch for it to go on sale.
This might not be your first thought when it comes to dentures. However, looking out for denture specials can behoove you. When you visit a Bastrop dentist, ask about dentures, and once you've made your choice, find out what you can about deals. Maybe slower months will come with reduced prices. Be sure to ask friends. Some dental offices don't like to advertise specials too far ahead because they don't want to be booked up.
Be sure, though, that your chosen specials don't compromise quality. For instance, if the price break means you get a cheaper brand, it isn't really a special – just a substitution. Ask to be sure denture specials come from the same supply as other, regular dentures. When you're both thrifty and careful, you'll end up with the best deals possible, and you'll save money on dentures, which can get expensive if you aren't careful.
By the same token, don't let your quest to save money and find a deal get in the way of your health. If you really need dentures now, don't hold off on getting them in hopes of finding a sale or a better deal. It's best to spend a touch extra and get what you need than it is to wait and hope to save a small amount of money.
That said, dentures don't tend to go on special quite as often or as noticeably as something like grapes at the grocery score.
How do you find the deals if you have no central dentist's office? It can be hard to know who to trust. There are, however, people and agencies who can help you. Many localities have a listing – often published – of the area's top physicians. You can find dentists and specialties. Many sites offer reviews of doctors, and these can be advantageous. Be sure that, if you use reviews to evaluate a doctor, you have enough to ensure an adequate sample size. Otherwise, you won't have sufficient opinions to form an approximation of public opinion of the doctor.
Word of mouth is also a good search tool. Find people who have dentures and talk to them. Ask them about cost, durability, etc. Figure out if there is a pattern – are there docs you should avoid? Those you should make sure you see? If there are no formal denture specials, you can at least find yourself a good deal on them. Quality is important, but there's no need to overspend when you don't have to. By spending some extra time, you can save some extra money on your medical care. It may take work and perseverance, but denture specials will soon make themselves available to you. Be patient, ask around, and be willing to spend some time. Good luck with your search!

For those who are in the process of building a new home or a large addition, there has likely been talk of installing a picture window, but even those who are simply investing in window replacement, the option is there. Instead of a traditional, flat picture window, many people are in the market for something with a little more geometrical interest. There are essentially two options for these individuals – bay and bow windows. There is not a great deal of difference between the two, but those variations can mean a lot to the household down the road. So, if you are considering installing such a window, carefully read the following information before you choose one or the other.
Similarities While one might want to focus entirely on the differences when choosing between these two window types, it is important also to understand the advantages of using either of them. Both bay and bow windows are built with additional window frames, so that they jut from the building and increase the amount of sunlight allowed to enter the home. When placed correctly within the home, they can improve the view of nature and allow the perfect setting for a bench seat within the house. When replacing home windows, you will likely want to reduce the need for changes to the underlying structure of your League City, Texas home. The great news is that most bow windows and bay windows can be interchanged, fitting into the same spaces with equally stunning appeal.
Differences Bow windows have been around longer than their alternative. While bay windows were popularized in the Victorian Era (circa 1870), bow windows were first seen in the Georgian era, which spanned approximately 100 years from the early 18th century to the mid 1800's. Bay windows have a very geometrical feel, comprised of sharp angles. The flat center pane is stationary, but the side panels often open and close to allow for ventilation in the home. Bow windows differ in that they are generally rounded in shape and rely on more panes of glass to achieve that look. None of the panels in a bow window will open and while this disrupts the ability to improve air flow, it also decreases the likelihood of needed repair. The interior space added by installing a bay window is generally greater than one can achieve with a bow window, which is something that one might want to consider when choosing a window for a smaller room. However, bow windows can wrap a large span of wall space to provide an uninterrupted view of the great outdoors.
Both styles of window are very attractive and each has undeniable benefits for a home. If you are considering replacement windows and aren't sure which is the better option for your home, speak with the professionals in Katy, TX. They will be able to provide more detail and insight into bay and bow windows for your home.

No matter why you're investing in roof repair in Katy, TX, for many, that means choosing an entirely new roofing material. These days, lots of people are looking to the past and going with wood shakes over any other type of roofing material. With this choice, though, there are both benefits and drawbacks, so you'll want to carefully weigh your options before you make any serious decisions.
Many people end up going with wood shakes because it tends to mean a more natural look. When you think about wood shakes, you think about homes with serious character and history, and that's because wood shakes are one of the most traditional roofing materials available. What you may not realize is that wood shakes can make your home look unique, too. Any time you choose a roofing material like this one, you're going to get variations in color and thickness of the wood, so no two roofs ever look alike, which can make your home far more attractive if you're every looking to sell.
Another real benefit with wood shakes is that they can make your home more energy efficient. They tend to help insulate your attic a little better than other roofing material options, so you won't lose as much energy through the top of your home as you might with other choices. Additionally, wood shakes can allow your home to breathe a little better. That means the air in your house actually circulates better through the small openings where the wood shingles are actually laid.
For as many amazing benefits as this roofing material offers, though, there are some fairly serious drawbacks, too. First, keep in mind that wood shakes usually aren't rated by fire safety codes. The reasoning there is fairly simple. Companies that manufacture them use a fire retardant that wipes or sprays on, and that means far less protection than many other roofing material choices. What's more, though, is that the coating is usually only good for a few years. These days, there are a few companies that make pressure treated shakes that often contain a stronger fire retardant, so it's possible that this drawback will begin to disappear over the next few decades.
Fire, though, isn't the only concern for a homeowner who chooses wood shakes. There are other maintenance concerns involved too as well as a regular need for roofer repair. Houstonprofessionals know that without solid maintenance, the shakes simply won't last as long as other roofing material choices. They're more susceptible to molding and rotting as well as insects, so if you're not prepared to work on your roof every five years or so, wood shakes aren't right for you.
One other real drawback to this type of material is that installing them can be fairly complex, so it tends to be a more costly process. Moreover, the overall quality often depends on your roofing company. A company experienced with roof repair in Sugarland, TX, is an absolute must with wood shakes or you simply won't achieve the look you're going for.
Wood shakes can be a beautiful material for your roof, but you should carefully evaluate your options before you make any serious decisions.

With the number of severe and life-threatening storms hammering on many different areas of this country in recent years, there is a lot of talk of preparation and repair. It is important to know how to spot roof damage, whether you have faced an unusually heavy rainstorm or a full-blown hurricane. The definition of a 'proper inspection process' varies depending on who you ask, but there are a few simple steps that you can take to gather useful information before calling in the professional Plano roofers. Answer the following questions about the roof as it appears to you and you will have a clear idea of what those contractors will have to accomplish.
Toppling Trees When high winds come into play, there are often a lot of trees and limbs that fall victim. Unfortunately, then their landing pad is your roof, the damage can be severe. Was it a full tree that collapsed on the roof or just a few branches? Is the roofing broken, crushed, ripped away, or cracked as a result? You can view damage like this from the ground, which is where you are safest, especially if the underlying structure has been weakened. Have the structural components beneath the roofing material been noticeably battered? If so, you will want to call in the roof repair company immediately and avoid that area of the house, just in case the weight becomes too much for the beams to support. It will need to be repaired quickly to defend against further water damage.
Bad Hair Day When trees and branches aren't the issue, but instead it is just the wind that has battered the roofing materials, the severity will be less, but there is still good reason to carefully inspect the surface. Begin on the ground, where you are safe. If the structure of the roof is in tack, you can secure a sturdy ladder and make your way to the roofline. Are there any missing or broken shingles? Does anything appear twisted, bent, or curled? Do the shingles appear patchy? Has the coating on them been washed away in areas? All of these issues can result in the roof failing, which means that water can more easily enter the home and eat away at the structure beneath. If you are dealing with a metal roof, look for major dents or panels that are askew.
Ice Storms and Rain There are several ways that a storm can brutalize a roof, aside from knocking trees into it, including hail, heavy rain, winds, and, in many areas of the country, mounding snow is a big problem. Tiled roofs take the beating in a different way. In severe storms it is not unusual to have tiles chipped, smashed, or fully dislodged. Often evidence of this is at ground level where sections of tile have landed. Clay tiles are highly susceptible to heavy, crushing weight, so there is little chance that they will survive the impact of a hail storm. Look for bare spots or an inconsistent pattern on the roof that may suggest tiles have been dislodged.
Don't stop your inventory outdoors. Be sure to look inside for roof damage as well. The attic will point out major issues that will require the expertise of Arlington, TX roofers. Here you will find the first signs of water damage. Water stains on the wood and wet insulation are major red flags. Always be armed appropriately before you attempt this type of work. Use non-slip soles whenever working on the roof, as well as a sturdy ladder and flashlight. Never work on a wet roof. Tarps can be used to cover a vulnerable area until Mother Nature lets up and the professionals can get to work.

If you have older windows in your home, then it might have been recommended that you consider replacing them. However, many homeowners are skeptical when asked if they have considered swapping out their existing vinyl, wood or aluminum windows. After all, they still open and close, they still provide a clear view of the outdoors, and they are still in one piece. windows. What could the advantage of investing in new ones possibly be?
The truth is that vinyl windows have been around for a while and though the materials put to use are the same, there are many differences in how the windows are created. Vinyl is, for many reasons, a much wiser investment for those who currently have wooden or aluminum frames in their home. If you are unsure of whether window replacement is worth the investment, consider this.
Vinyl windows do not share the same properties as aluminum or wood. The metal variety are prone to denting and can become very deformed over time. Wooden frames are susceptible to water damage and mold. They also require a great deal of maintenance to maintain their weather-tight properties. As these materials age, and even as vinyl ages, more drafting can occur. Even the slightest air leak can have a profound effect on heating and cooling costs.
It is also important to remember that it is not just the material used to frame the window panes that is so influential in how they perform. There is also the matter of the glass used, and how much of it is put up to the task of keeping the outdoor air from getting in. The majority of older windows relied on a single pain of glass to stand up to the brutal elements that Mother Nature can dish out. However, more recently, window manufacturers found that they could create double paned windows to fit the same openings used for the older versions. The second pane meant that there was an air pocket trapped between the two. Much like insulated coffee mugs, that pocket of air slows the transfer of heat, whether it is hotter outdoors or within the home. Today, there are even triple paned windows that are even more up to the task of maintain the energy efficiency of the home and that glass can be further treated with special coating that reflects the heat of the sun's rays, so Round Rock window replacement really does improve the temperature of the home.
Are you worried about the cost of window installation? Georgetown, Texas, contractors understand the concerns of the homeowners and can often recommend a variety of funding options. Some will even set up payment plans to make the expense more tolerable. It is also important to understand that vinyl windows are much more affordable that the wooden frames and may not be quite as taxing on the wallet as you think. Mass produced and sold throughout the country in large quantities, vinyl windows are readily available in the most common sizes, making it possible for retailers to sell them at a reasonable price. Contractors can help you figure out the number of windows that your home requires, as well as the sizes needed, so you can get an accurate quote.

Thinking of hiring Austin cleaning service for your home or office? It's a great way to make sure you get the clean you want without a lot of time and hassle, but how do you find a cleaning service to meet your needs? These tips can help you get through the interview with a house cleaning company in Austin with ease.
Be Sure to Interview Several Candidates – The first interview you have may be the best Austin maid services to meet your needs, but you can't possibly know that until you've talked with at least a couple of other candidates for the job. This will help you look at the benefits each service has to offer you and give you a chance to decide which one might be the best one to meet your needs. During the course of each interview, make certain you ask about the history of the company as well as that individual's references. Also, make sure you actually follow-up with the references.
Watch for Positive Body Language – During the course of the interview, you should get a sense of professionalism at all times. The person's body language can tell you a lot about whether he or she will be a good match for you. If the individual seems fairly comfortable, you probably have someone who will do a fantastic job.
Discuss Costs – You can't hire a maid service without at least approaching the costs involved. You need to make certain that the person understands your needs so you can get an accurate picture of what it will cost you. For example, hiring someone to clean a three story home will cost quite a bit more than hiring someone to clean a 2 bedroom apartment. Find out if the individual charges extra for certain services, and don't forget to discuss payment arrangements. You may also want to ask who will be responsible for purchasing the cleaning supplies and equipment necessary. If you're looking for a certain service, ask about those charges too. For example, for some companies in Austin move in cleaning service options are available. For other companies in Austin move out cleaning service packages are available. Some even do both. Ask about specialized services like these if you're interested in them.
Discuss Your Expectations – In this situation, you are the boss. You have to ensure the individual you're considering for the job understands exactly what you want. After all, you're wasting your time if you don't get the level of clean you're looking for. Talk about what you want cleaned as well as how you want it cleaned. You may also want to discuss your ideas with regard to what happens in the event the cleaning person finishes early or what happens on days when your cleaning person can't come to work. You don't want to have any misunderstandings down the road. If you're interviewing a professional who provides Austin business cleaning services, make sure they understand the duties of the job as well as the size of the office. When it comes to commercial office cleaning, any good office cleaning company may be able to put together a package for you.
Rest Easy with your Decision – Even if the person you're considering for the job is qualified, if you feel uncomfortable, move on to another service. The last thing you want in your home or office is someone you're not comfortable with. The only way to get the clean you want week after week is to make certain you're comfortable with that person.

Weight loss is a very challenging mountain to climb. It does not come easily for most people and seems to be an even more difficult feat for those who need it the most. However, many times it is not that a person is incapable of losing weight, but rather that he or she is failing to find the appropriate road to bring him or her there.
Often individuals have preconceived notions about weight loss and following by those can actually cause them to gain weight rather than losing it.
For instance, though it is true that weight loss depends on a person consuming fewer calories than he or she manages to burn throughout the day, too few calories can cause a reverse effect. A starvation diet (one that involves a person eating an extraordinarily low amount of calories each day) might result in weight loss at the start, but as the person realizes that living on such little food isn't possible for the long haul, the rebound effect almost always takes hold. During the time that he or she was eating so little, the body entered starvation mode, which means that while fat stores may be burned, the body releases hormones that increase hunger sensations and all consumed calories are preserved as best as possible until the body feels that it will not waste away. In other words, the metabolism slows drastically and when more calories are introduced, after the diet has run its course, the metabolism burns them more slowly that it once did, so weight gain is essentially guaranteed.
If an unhealthy body is the goal, then over-the-counter supplements may be the answer, but if a person wants to lose weight safely and effectively, the caffeine- and diuretic- loaded pills, shakes, and other concoctions are best avoided. Similarly, cleanses and detox plans can actually harm the body, by ridding it of essential vitamins and nutrients. Furthermore, the weight loss seen as a result of these plans is generally due to water loss, rather than fat loss. To naturally detoxify your body, it is better to adjust your diet to include more fibrous foods and increased water intake. Doing so can also help a person burn the excess fat stores within the body. For those who need a helping hand, HCG doctors Austin, TX can provide assistance.
When a dieter becomes obsessed with dieting, or has seen little success with the various efforts made, he or she may turn to bulimia – a habit of binging and purging. This might also include the philosophy of chewing food and then spitting it out, rather than ingesting it. Some will also turn to laxatives for the purpose of ridding the body of the calories consumed. All versions of this condition can become habit forming and are very, very dangerous for the body. In addition to tooth decay from the excess acid reaching the mouth with each vomit and intestinal disruption due to the built-up reliance on laxatives for bowel movements, a person following this path to weight loss faces increased risk of dehydration, vitamin deficiencies, cardiac arrest, and some forms of cancer.
Finally, while exercise is essential for developing a healthier body and thinner waistline, when overdone, it too can come with certain risks. Not only will the body fail to maintain the overly demanding pace for long, it is also in danger of serious injury when overworked regularly. It is better to develop a realistic workout plan with a physical trainer than to burden the body in such a way. Excessive exercise is more likely to result in rebound weight gain than an exercise plan that makes working out more enjoyable, rather than a form of punishment.

Smiling is a universal mode of communication – no matter the culture or language, people all over the world communicate this same way. It then stands to reason that an attractive smile has roots world wide and deep in history. Without today's modern technology and chemistry, how exactly did people keep their "universal mode of communication" looking attractive?
Manual whitening was the first to be discovered. Some archeologists date tooth brushing back as early as 3000 B.C. when people used "chew sticks" to chew and rub food off of their dentition. These were sometimes dipped in ground pumice and vinegar. The first bristle toothbrushes, like the ones we know today, were used in China after the ninth century A.D. The bristles came from hogs and were inserted into bone or bamboo handles. European explorers brought the toothbrush back to Europe for the nobility and royalty to use. Previously Europeans had been using a cloth dipped in salt or sulfur on a stick to clean their teeth with, or, more often, toothpicks made from metal. In 1938, synthetic bristles were created, and then came electronic and then sonic toothbrushes.
Most people think of chemical whitening to be a thing of modern invention, when in reality, it has been used as far back as 2000 B.C. These whiteners were made from natural ingredients including vinegar and ammonia in the form of urine. In the early 1800s, barbers acted as both hair stylists and dentists. They would file down the teeth and then coat them with nitric acid, which is highly corrosive. This would give a temporary brilliance to the teeth, but in doing so, the enamel was left weakened and often led to decaying of the teeth. It was around this same time period that the positive effects of fluoride on teeth were discovered. By 1915 Americans were experimenting on adding it to drinking water. The results of the study lead to fluoride being placed in toothpastes and mouthwashes. It was also noted that too much fluoride could lead to staining of the teeth.
When teeth whitening, like used at a dentist office in Austin TX, was first being studied scientifically, the formulas used at the time to clean dentures were examined for their effectiveness. Later, chemicals such as lime chloride and other forms of chlorine were tried. These days, a wide variety of different chemicals and formulas exist for whitening the teeth, including peroxide. These methods are safer to the enamel of the tooth. Lasers are even used now in whitening. There are toothpastes, strips, and mouth rinses for at home whitening. In the dental office, professionals can give you the brightest possible smile in a safe manner.
Dental implants and fillings are also available in white. This is a stark contrast to the amalgam fillings of the past. Tooth colored fillings contribute to a brighter, whiter smile.
Prevention of tooth staining can be the best way to maintain your brightest smile. Your Austin dentist can provide information on avoiding agents that cause stains. These things include coffee, tea, all forms of tobacco, and red wine. Medications, including tetracycline can also discolor your smile. Most people either cannot or choose not to avoid these items in their lifestyle, making whitening teeth a rapidly growing part of dentistry practice.

When is the last time that you visited a dentist? Most people make regular appointments to visit their doctor for a yearly physical, and many make monthly appointments to visit their hair dresser so that they can make sure that their hair looks perfect, but far too often people avoid going to their dentist's office in order to get a cleaning or to have their teeth checked. Regular dental visits can help you to not only keep your beautiful smile, but can also help you to stay healthy, as there are many gum diseases that can be serious if they are allowed to spread. If you haven't been to a dentist in a long time, you may not know how to go about choosing the right office for your needs.
Not Your Parents' Dentist
Many of us grow up going to the same dentist routinely. Why? Because it's where our parents brought us to and it's where we figured we needed to continue to go. But that is definitely not a good idea. The medicine of dentistry has evolved a great deal in the last decade and is not the same type of dentist that your parents used to visit. Materials and techniques are improving almost daily and it is important that you find a dentist who is not so stuck in their ways that they refuse to look into some of the newer techniques and technology out there. While staying true to the dental field is important in a dentist's office, it is also important that they learn to adapt to new, better technology.
Before you schedule an appointment with any new dentist office, as them what types of new technology they have included in their office. You may find that the office has brought in computers so that x-rays are now immediately able to go onto the computer screen, or that they have researched new techniques to make dentistry more comfortable for the patient. For instance, Austin invisalign dentists have become extremely popular lately, mainly because the patients know that if their dentist has looked into Invisalign, they have looked into new technology.
Another thing to remember when you're looking into a new dentist office is to make sure that your insurance company is covered by the office. Some dentist offices are very fussy over which insurance they choose to work with, while others refuse to work with any. While you may find a great dentist easily, if they don't agree to work with your insurance you may also pay out the nose for the visit, and in today's economy, most people can't afford to do that. Always ask the dentist's office what type of insurances they are able to work with before you make any appointment.
It is recommended that the average person make an appointment to see their dentist once every six months, although some people need to make an appointment for a cleaning more often than that. Always speak with your dentist to learn what needs your mouth has.

Austin is one of the most happening cities in Texas, and it seems like there is always something going on in the city. Unfortunately many of the Austin events that happen are known only to those who live in the city, or to those who visit the city frequently. But there is one thing that happens in Austin that many people hear of, even those who do not visit Austin very often. It brings a huge influx of people into Austin and is one of the premiere reasons that many musicians visit the city. SXSW.
SXSW stands for South by Southwest. It is a set of interactive, music, and film festivals, and conferences. These take place every spring in Austin and have since 1987. There are three different parts of SXSW – one for music, one for film, and one for the interactive conferences. Each part runs independently and has different start and end dates.
Since its start, SXSW has become one of the largest music festivals in the United States. It has over 2,000 performers who play in over 90 venues all over the downtown Austin area. And this all takes place in just four days in March! It is known as the highest revenue event for the Austin economy and has brought in millions upon millions of dollars. In 1994 the creators added the film and interactive conferences, and now it is on its way to becoming one of the premiere film festivals in the nation, due to focusing on new directing talent. The interactive conferences are designed for web creators and entrepreneurs and puts a spotlight on emerging technology. In fact one of the most well-known and recent social media applications, Twitter, actually launched at the SXSW interactive conference in 2007!
So how can you enjoy SXSW? If you're new to the city, and just visiting for SXSW, one thing that you may want to keep in mind is that there will be many people who are also visiting the city at the same time. In order to truly make the most of the city, it is a good idea to get there a day early, or to plan on leaving a day after what you've come for is all over. This will give you a bit of time to familiarize yourself with the city and to see some of the other amazing things that Austin has to offer.
If you're a native of the city, make sure you know what's going on and where it's going on. Keep a schedule with you of the events and plan out your parking, so that you don't have to worry about getting into the middle of the city and having to pay outrageous prices to park your vehicle. Or, better yet, book a hotel room for yourself for the weekend – this will give you easy access to everything that is going on and will be almost like a mini-vacation as well!

I always love tutorials, and suggestions for gifts to be made! I realized recently (with the excitement over the "many trips around the world" quilt) that it is SO much fun to see different quilters' interpretations of pieced quilts. I cannot think of how to implement that, however, unless you do a quilt along. I have participated in only one -- and liked the quilt so much that I ended up making it larger and not finishing with others -- but I learned alot from seeing the variety within one pieced pattern. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI'm always looking for quilts using pre-cuts (charm packs are my favorite!) I'm a busy mom (who isn't) and I love using pre-cuts with a great easy peasy instant gratification quilt top, but looks complicated. Maybe that's asking a lot, but I know it's doable! Great giveaway, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I don't know about you but in the last couple of weeks I've noticed a slight change in the blogger world I visit...there seems to be more "traditional" with a twist (fresh fabrics) and I'm really liking it.
I know my style is changing, I'm developing my sewing groove, so I am enjoying this new look on the old.
I don't know if it's really changing or if it's just my perception, either way I like it and look forward to more.
I am new to your blog and have enjoyed what I have read so far. I like to see ideas for small projects and always appreciate the tutorials. I am doing a lot of baby quilts and lap quilts for charitable donations to shelters and hospices and am always on the look-out for simple ideas that look great.
ReplyDeleteI love all of your snow. Looks fantastic. Though I can't name something in particular I like to see more on your blog, I would like to say a big thank you for all that you already share so freely with us. It's blogs like yours that motivate and inspire me, and for that, I am truly grateful.
Just incase I'm a no-reply blogger: firstname.lastname@example.com
So Sorry you were sick, we had it over Christmas here and had to cancel Christmas to New Year's because 90% of family was sick. A lot of disappoint little boys but they were to sick to even open presents. I love tutorials especially ideas with all the new fabric that is out this year. Happy New Year Sandra
ReplyDeleteI love your pictures of the snow, i wish we had some instead of the never ending rain we're suffering in the UK!
Whilst I love seeing quick projects, I also like the "big" blacks that are around at the moment - finishing at 12" or bigger so you don't need many to finish a quilt!
Thanks for another great giveaway!
Love your blog, I guess I would like to see more quilt blocks but as a quilter with a family I know how hard it is to find sewing time.
ReplyDeleteHi! I just found your blog recently and enjoy your posts. I'm new to quilting so I am learning from anything I read on the subject. I do have a question. Do you foresee any problems with making a quilt using corduroy squares mixed in with lightweight cotton upholstery fabric?
Have a great evening!
Hi, Amy! So sorry to hear you were sick, but hope you will be back to 100% soon. Although I love your blogs and find the photos to be excellent, have you every considered offering short instructional videos? They are fairly cheap to produce and would be a great way to demo specific techniques. Feel better soon and Happy New Year to the whole family!
Susan Rink
Thanks for asking everyone for suggestions. What a great way to begin the new year! I too would like to see projects made with precuts as well as quick and easy gift projects as well. Money is tight, so making presents that are cute are a must!
Love your photo of the lights in downtown Salt Lake..so pretty!
I'd love to see more tutorials on machine quilting on a regular sewing machine and how to adjust the tension so the back isn't all loopy! (Can you tell what I have problems with? :))
Hope you are all over the sickies! We have a head cold/sinus mess going around work right now & I have caught it, tho almost over it now!
Thanks for the fin give away!
Sandy A
Hi Amy, I'm with the others who have asked for more tutorials for small gift items. I'd also love to see more projects for hand-stutchers/piecers/quilters. I love hand-stitchable take-along projects for when my quilt buddies and I get together for a stitch and chat. Looking forward to a great 2013.
ReplyDeleteI don't know that there's something I'm not seeing that I do want to see from quilt bloggers. I love getting lost in the beautiful photographs (love yours) and dreaming about fabrics I see (since there really isn't much room for them in my stash). Maybe what I'd like to see is effective ways to use stash in more quilts (I see lots of ideas for using stash in other sewing projects, but I know it's the quilts that will stick around for a while.)
ReplyDeleteHow about more give aways? :) Just kidding! A quilt-a-long would be nice. I just finished Bonnie Hunter's Easy Street - well, okay the quilt isn't actually finished just yet, but hopefully in a few days. I always like your tutorials, too - especially for quick and easy projects. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteAmy - I absolutely LOVE your blog! I am a new quilter and have always been intimidated by quilting. Your blog has helped me SO much :-) Your tutorials are clear and well-documented, giving ME the confidence to go forth and try new things... AND end up with a nice finished product as well. I vote for your fantastic tutorials - though I will totally enjoy whatever you do, I am sure of it! Thank you so much :-)
ReplyDeleteI would say a some posts on where to start if you are just starting into quilting. I am just starting and most of what I have found around the quilting blogsphere is (for the most part) for those who have been quilting for a while. That would be a huge help for me!! Thank you for a chance to give ideas and to win such wonderful prizes!! :) Hope you have a wonderful day!!
ReplyDeleteOh I am would love to win a copy! I hinted, but Santa had other ideas. LOL I love the little tutorials you see in blog land, but I'd like to see more than just pillows and placemats... how about some quilted gifts for a spa day? or a little pampering. I love making gifts, but I've done bags, aprons, placemats and need some new ideas. :-) Thank you so much for the great giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteWhat fantastic pictures! I loved the night lights, but I'm sorry you were not feeling great. With four little ones underfoot during the day, my sewing and quilting time is limited to weekends and evenings. I would love to see simple, beautiful, and quick quilts or even some ideas to use all those wonderful excess scraps from previous quilts. Thank you for sponsoring such a generous and delightful giveaway!
Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.
I apologize for the current comment settings that require a registered user account. They are the only way that I don't get tons of gross spam. I'm hoping Blogger will make a way where people who are not registered users, but would like to leave a comment can do so. Please, Blogger! In the mean time, thanks for your patience.
I also love to respond to questions. If you are a no-reply blogger, please leave an email address so I can get back to you. Or you can email me directly: amy @ diaryofaquilter.com. Thanks!
