Our daughter, the oldest of our three children, has finally picked a college to attend after she graduates high school in the spring this year. She isn't going to be too far away, she chose a school in Santa Monica, but a few hours drive south is still far enough for sure. She is the one out of our three children who is the most involved in her church group and attending the week night church services for the high school age kids. So we are a little worried about her finding a Santa Monica church to get really plugged in to before she gets really into hanging out with other college kids or going to parties or other things like that. We have been scouring the internet looking at all the different churches in the area in and around Santa Monica, and we are putting together a list of places that seem like cool spots for a college age kid. We really want to find her a church that has a group for college age kids that is big enough to really support her social needs and entertainment needs. There are several that we have found that have great web sites and it makes them seem like they would be perfect places for her to really get involved in. So when we go for the campus visit and orientation in the spring, just before she graduates high school, we are going to visit these top few Santa Monica churches that we have on our list. We are really just looking for a place that has a really large group of like minded and similar age kids for her to meet and hopefully form friendships with. She really needs those youth group services so that she can get her entertainment from them, and she won't have a need to go out and party or hang out at the bars. We really just want her to find an interesting and fun youth group that is near enough to the school that it isn't a hassle to get plugged into it and go to the services and events and such. So when we visit, we have four that we all really like based on their websites, and we have even streamed a few of their services on line. It seems like all of these have really great worship events with great bands and lights and stuff, so that is one good thing. And the youth pastors at all the Santa Monica churches on our list seem to be really inspiring and easy to listen to. It would be great if she made friends at school as well, of course we want that for her, but even more we are hoping that she meeds school friends who also are involved in church and attend services. That way her life will be similar to what it is like at home and we won't have cause to worry about her too much. She will be so far away, we don't want to worry.
Hardwood Flooring A Big Selling Point For Childhood Home
Recently, Monica found out that her parents were planning on selling their home, her childhood home that she had grown up in her whole life! She was devastated, because she loved going back to visit and the home was so comfortable and beautiful, with its natural lighting and hardwood flooring, and she was going to miss it terribly. Part of them moving meant that she and her siblings were going to have to head back for a visit and pack up the things that they had left in their old rooms and stored in the basement.
Her parents were sad to see the home go, but they were getting older and it was harder to maintain. It was a huge home, which had once housed Monica and all three of her siblings, their parents, and multiple pets over the years. They had entertained many people on those hardwood floors, hosting graduation parties, holiday dinners, and "just because" events in their spacious dining room and living room. There were so many memories and pictures in Monica's photo albums of that home, and she knew she was going to miss it so much.
They planned the trip home so they could all be there together one last time, and spent several days packing, reminiscing, and weeding through things that they truly did not need anymore but had kept all those years for sentimental reasons. The whole family was together in the home one last time before her parents put it on the market, and they all provided their input on how the house should be sold. Monica's brother wanted the flyer to showcase the beautiful hardwood floors and the hot tub in the back, while one of her sisters insisted that their parents take nothing less than a certain price for the home. Their parents nodded and smiled and considered their children's suggestions, but they also knew they needed to sell the home and move into something smaller.
They owned the home outright, after having lived there for over twenty years, and had kept it in excellent condition so selling it was going to be relatively easy. All of the maintenance that had been required over the years had been promptly performed, and many of the appliances were relatively new. With a coat of fresh paint throughout the house and a good cleaning, it was more or less ready to show once Monica and her siblings had packed up all of their things. It did not take long, either. The beautiful, spacious home was looked at by nearly a dozen people the first day it was on the market, and several offers were made that first weekend.
Monica and her siblings might have been sad, but her parents were ready for a new chapter in their lives, and were relieved that the house easily sold and for above asking price at that! They would be able to live comfortably in a smaller home and not worry about the expenses and maintenance that came with such a big house, which would ultimately serve their children better in the long run, even if they missed the big house.
Making your smile the best it can be with whitening and Invisalign or braces
Your smile is a big factor in how people see you and how you make first impressions. That is why I always say that things that have to do with your mouth or face are incredibly important. It is the first thing people see when they meet you and the first thing visual cues they take in to figure out who you are and how they feel about you. One of the easiest and most effective changes for people to make is fixing their teeth. Unless you are one of the luckier people in the world or had braces as a kid or a teenager, almost everyone either has some crooked teeth or teeth that are not quite as white as they could be. While both of these things were a little difficult or troublesome to fix in the past, with the progression of technology, fixing these problems has become easier and much cheaper. If you want your teeth to be a bit whiter (which almost everyone does) you can either buy the kits at the store which are quite cheap and decently effective or you can go to your normal dentist and they can do it for you for a bit more money but also usually better results. If your teeth aren't as straight as you would like you have a number of options as well. There is always the traditional route of braces for both teens and adults, these are the metal brackets that normally both teens and adults try to avoid. They might work better in some cases but because of the idea that it is mostly kids have metal braces, many people are nervous about their social appearance if they have braces. I think that going through braces for a few months is totally worth it to have a wonderful and beautiful smile but I also understand where these people who do not want metal braces are coming from. Lucky for you over the last number of years Invisalign has really taken off and become pretty wide spread and the price is even starting to go down. You can order the Invisalign trays from almost any orthodontist so they are fairly easy to get a hold of. The orthodontist of your choosing just needs to make some molds of your teeth with that freaky artificial flavored goo that dentists and orthodontists seem to like so much, then as soon as the molds are made they are sent in to the Invisalign offices and the process begins. A few trays are designed to slowly move your teeth into place with designed pressure areas. As I am sure most people have seen by now, the trays are clear and fit right over your teeth so unless someone is looking uncomfortably close at your teeth they won't be able to tell you are wearing anything. Many people find Invisalign nice for this reason. It allows people to have a beautiful smile with barely any effort and no embarrassment over normal metal braces.
If You Hire the Right Carpet Cleaners, They will be Able to Eliminate even the most Troublesome Stains.
Keeping your home clean can be challenging. There are many different surfaces that require regular cleaning, and each one often requires different methods and products. Not only do you have to keep up with daily and weekly cleaning, you also have to invest in long-term cleaning services from time to time. For example, if you have carpeted floors, you will need to have your floor cleaned at least every couple of years. If you hire the right carpet cleaners, they will be able to eliminate even the most troublesome stains. Of course, they will also eliminate the long-term dirt, grime, bacteria, and mold that can collect in your carpet that you may or may not be able to see. There are a few different methods of professionally cleaning carpeted floors. Today, the method that is considered to be the best employs carbonation to remove the offending particles. It is extremely effective, in addition to being more environmentally responsible than other methods of cleaning carpeted floors. The method that was most common and still is quite common involves a lot of water and chemical-based soaps. The chemicals are bad for the environment and can be dangerous to pets. Another problem with this method of cleaning carpets was the fact that it does not remove all the bacteria and mold from your carpet. Plus, it leaves your the carpet wet for at least one day, which gives the mold and bacteria time to grow, as they thrive in dampness. That is why it is important to make sure the carpet cleaning company you have hired does employ the carbonated cleaning method. In contrast to the method that involves soap, carbonated cleaning allows your carpet to dry in a few hours, typically. Of course, the carbonated cleaning is the basic cleaning method that is used, but some stains require extra effort to remove. Nonetheless, if you are dealing with the best professional carpet cleaners, they should have no problem removing any stain. Many of these carpet cleaning companies offer other cleaning services for various different surfaces in your home. Upholstery cleaning is something that can be difficult to do, but some cleaning companies are up to the challenge. Of course, different kinds of upholstery have different requirements, when it comes to cleaning. The cleaning professionals will have to inspect the material to see what kind of cleaning method would be best. Some materials are very delicate and can even be ruined by water. That is why the cleaning companies have to be so careful about how the go about cleaning various types of upholstery. Yet another services often offered by professional carpet cleaning companies is tile cleaning. Whether your floors are made of ceramic tiles or stone tiles, you should get them professionally cleaned from time to time. If you have carpeted floors, upholstery, and tiled floors, you could save time and money by simply getting them all cleaned at once. That would save you the trouble of many interruptions to your life at home, as well.

Today, Luxury Cruises have become an Incredibly Popular Style of Vacation.
Everyone deserves a vacation from time to time, and you should try to make it happen, if at all possible. A vacation is a good way to end the monotony that comes with living life in a routine, which most careers force you to do, to some degree. This is not to say that working hard is bad. You should take pride in your work, but you should also take a break from it every now and then. Is there any better way to take a break than by taking a nice vacation? I think not, and many others agree. Today, luxury cruises have become an incredibly popular style of vacation. There are so many reasons why this is the case. If at all possible, you should make your next vacation a luxury cruise. Cruises enable you to visit a wide array of different locations, such as an entire coastal region, or an entire chain of islands. Though tropical cruises are considered the norm, you can visit pretty much any coastal area in the world, with a luxury cruise. There are luxury cruise lines with cruises in seas all over the world. You can sail between New Zealand and Australia and see the Great Barrier Reef, or you can sail up the coast of the Pacific Northwest, visiting everywhere from British Columbia to Oregon. One reason why some people travel is to get away from the weather, wherever they live. If it is the middle of winter and it is freezing cold, a tropical cruise is probably just the thawing out that you need. Of course, if it is the middle of summer and it is ninety degrees in the shade, you may prefer a trip up the Eastern coast of North America. There are Regent cruises that start in New England and run up the coast of Newfoundland and the rest of Northern Canada. It does not matter what portion of the sea you are exploring, a cruise ship is the most comfortable and enjoyable way to do it. Cruises offer you many things that no other vacation can offer. You can visit multiple locations across hundreds of miles, without having to check into a different room once. There really is no other way to do that. This ends up saving you a lot of time and hassle, as your hotel room comes with you wherever you go. Not only that, even more of your vacation is saved for you because you do not have to waste time traveling from port to port in an uncomfortable way. You will love the time you spend traveling, since it will be spent enjoying live entertainment and fine food and drink. Of course, food and drink are included, but many travelers enjoy stopping in the various ports to sample some local food, drink, and culture. On the other hand, with all-inclusive cruise packages, you always have the fine cuisine provided by the ship's chefs, if you do not feel like going out to a restaurant.
Loans In Colorado Make the Market Turn
My feelings and attitudes about money, saving, and loans are a little ambivalent because, growing up, my father worked at a bank. Granted, it was a tiny bank in small town Indiana but a bank, nonetheless. So on the one hand, I was always instilled with the virtue of saving my money. It was always strongly impressed upon me to be frugal and to save. At the same time, my father is the one giving out loans through the bank. So he also certainly understands the value of taking out loans, especially when they it is mortgages on a home. As I got older and when he was sufficiently convinced that I was not going to turn out as some compulsive spender or complete profligate, he started teaching about the important role that loans play in the economy and society at large. Home loans are some of the most important. Some goods in the market are nearly necessary. Unless you live in a city with a good public transportation system, a car is a great tool for getting around, including to your job so that you can make an income. For the vast majority of the United States, it would be impossible to buy a home if it were not for home loans. When there are no homes being build, a number of industries slow down and people lose their jobs. These industries include real estate and construction, while there are others as well. But when there are loans to make these purchases possible, the economy begins heating up and people are going back to work. Of course, the details are far more complex than this simple portrait, but the basic principle sustains. So far, we have looked at how loans—which come in a variety of forms, such as VA loans, FHA loans, and CHFA loans—can work for individuals. For small businesses, however, the point is further highlighted. You can imagine a person buying a car with cash, and maybe you could fathom someone buying house with cash. Can you, however, even realistically think about a person starting a small business without taking out a loan? I certainly cannot. It does not seem feasible by any stretch of the imagination for a person to buy a small business with cash. That is where loan lenders really come into the picture and make the economy turn. Without loans for small businesses, we would not even have the businesses that are supposed to be putting people to work. Without loans, how would many afford the astronomical costs of higher education costs, which then result in high skill jobs? Loans play a central role in the economy and how it works. They are the backbone for small businesses, the foundation for the current education system, and access to many of the things that people need to get around in their lives. While there are risks involved in taking out debt—and there are many—loans are not something to be feared. The are foundational in so many areas of our economy and our society.
Acquiring a Gutter Machine Somehow Was The Key To My Future
I didn't even know how we were in business anymore, I was just a working stiff but ever since I'd seen how quickly gutters and drain spouts were being formed and installed after the invention of the seamless gutter machine, I just didn't get it. We were still doing it the old way, the way people did it before a technological advancement emerged that should have changed this business instantly for whoever was involved in it. If I was my boss, my eyes would have popped out of my head when I saw what these roll forming machines were capable of doing and I would have done everything in my power to get a hold of one. I imagined that someone with one of these machines should be able to do the job for a lot cheaper than someone like us because there was less time and labor involved. Maybe they justified charging the same as they used to because of the cost of the equipment, either way I think that you'd eventually make your money back and be able to drop costs if that was the case. That would only make sense though if they could keep a steady amount of business coming in by taking jobs away from the competition. I'll tell you though that if I was in charge, there'd be no competition because I'd buy two of those machines and put everyone else out of business because they simply wouldn't be able to keep up.
I always hear people talking about taking advantage of an opportunity in their life to do something good and I wondered when that opportunity was going to come along for me. Maybe the invention of a gutter machine was my opportunity and I just needed to find a way to seize it, I had no idea where I could get the money for a machine like that but if I could do it, I had no doubt that I could be successful. I had a rich uncle that was estranged from my family because his brother was my father and they didn't get along very well. I wasn't currently getting along with my father either so I figured that I'd try and take advantage of the situation if at all possible. I hadn't talked to uncle Harry for several years but he always sent a birthday check in the mail that I'd thank him for later via letter. I didn't want to cause any drama but even if I did after being able to secure a loan from uncle Harry for one of these gutter machines, it would totally be worth it. I'm sure that my dad would take some offense if uncle Harry is open to the idea of helping me but I wasn't going to let that get between me and my future. Plus, I couldn't take working under someone else for the rest of my life, especially if it continued to be installing gutters the old, primitive and antiquated way.
Don't try to unlock your car door yourself, call a professional locksmith
I know some people think that because they have seen people breaking into cars with coat hangers or whatever other stupid tool that when they lock their keys in their car, they can do the same thing. I must admit, for a long time I was guilt of the same thoughts. Especially when I was a teenager or in my early twenties I thought that if I could just get the hanger in the right angle that I could just magically pop the thing open but it almost never works like that. Trust me, I tried many, many times and for some stupid reason I always thought maybe this time it will work but in reality, not once did it ever work. First of all, I don't know if you have ever actually tried to hit a target with the other end of a coat hanger but it is almost impossible. The coat hanger is usually shaky and incredibly hard to maneuver with any sort of accuracy, then when you actually get close to the button to unlock the car, instead of pushing the button the coat hanger usually just bends out of shape. You end up spending hours trying to get the stupid little thing and it almost never works. Then, hours later, you are just sitting there with a bend coat hanger and a hefty amount of shame. The time you lose when trying to unlock your car yourself alone is worth the effort and small fee of calling a professional locksmith. I am all for trying to save money whenever possible but this do it yourself situation will almost never save you money in the end. The second problem with trying to unlock your door yourself is that without a professional locksmith, the chances of you breaking or damaging something in the car while trying to unlock it is pretty high. Any locksmith that you talk to will tell you that trying to jam open your car door without the right tools is running the very high risk of doing some fairly high damage to your car door. This can be things like scratches which are annoying but not a big deal or biggest things if you are trying to pry the door open like damage to the locking mechanism. Considering that hiring a professional locksmith is super quick, easy and usually only costs somewhere between ten and twenty five dollars, it makes way more sense to just call them as soon as you notice that you have locked your keys inside the car. It will save you so much time and if you try yourself and end up doing some sort of damage to your car it can end up being much more expensive than the relatively low fee charged by the professional locksmith. Plus, most locksmiths work twenty-four hours a day so no matter when you find yourself in a bind, they are there for you to help get you back into your car as soon as possible.
Avoiding the dentist in fear of radiation
Recently I heard individual state that they did not like to go to the dentist office because they did not want to be exposed to radiation. The truth is that we all receive exposure to radiation in some ways. We are exposed to it by appliances from our home the sun and some of our general surroundings. Low amounts of radiation are okay to be exposed to. It is the high levels of radiation that can cause problems. Knowing how to fix this problem was a big of newly designed x-ray machines. Now with today's modern technology there is little fear about the x-ray machines are being used to accurately check your teeth. Also because of regulations these machines are regularly checked making sure that you are not receiving exposure to radiation as you get your x-rays. Dentists have come a long way in what they can provide to you as services. All of these things are done safely and without little risk. The atmosphere of a dentist office has changed in many ways. I've seen pictures of some of the old dentist office and I can see how some people became scared of what they saw. All of this has become much less invasive and is easy to work with. Many people are even administered relaxing drugs if needed to to feel better about their experience at the dental office. Many dental offices are even being used for cosmetic dentistry as well. Many people are realizing the affordability of having their teeth fixed where at one time before it was not only fear of pain but fear of the amount of that People away. There are dental plan so you can be involved with the can reduce the amount of costs at your dentist office. Cosmetic dentist have come a long way as well. They're easy ways to brighten up and fix the teeth that seemed hard to deal with once before. There are some products like Invisalign then allow you to have your teeth put into place without having to use braces. It allows you to use a series of trays that slowly alter your teeth position overtime, and new ways of even drilling the teeth without so much invasion. All of these new technologies are coming into line and helping to make a more pleasurable experience at the dental office. It's not just better x-rays that you were getting at your dental office it is a series of improvements that is making the dental industry as a whole become better. If it has been a while since you have seen your dentist it's time to get it again and see what's going on in the dentist office. Trying to say you're going to avoid the dentist office for things like radiation is just not a viable excuse anymore. There's no need to fear with all the great technology that exists inside a dental office. Don't live with pain in your teeth or with something you want to hide in your mouth have it fixed and enjoy the smile that comes from looking great.
Building a Successful Business Without Renting Space in Steel Buildings
How would you like to start a business that goes beyond the traditional concept of having people walk in your space in various metal buildings to buy your stuff? If you're thinking that a little rise in sales could do you good, getting closer to your customers instead of them going to you could be a great idea.
One example and inspiration are the successful online shops that rely on reliable delivery services and digital banking to make transactions convenient for both the customers and the sellers. You can start as a small-time local seller of clothing, homemade pastries, crafts, or whatever tickles your fancy. The entire process starts out by creating a page where you could display your goods and provide details about them. You'll only need to promote the page through many other various media or to make it easier, have your friends check it out and spread the word. Interested customers will, then, only send you a message of inquiry or interest of purchasing. Sellers usually have to take care of selecting the best delivery service available, but the buyers shoulder the shipping expenses on top of the price of the items they are ordering. The internet, nowadays, not only provides information and entertainment, but also saves you the hassle of renting out space in a metal building to be where your target customers are located.
Food trucks have also gained popularity in the recent years. You can go from selling desserts and pastries to vegan dishes in ten places in a single day. A good avenue for inspiration is the popular TV show, Eat St., which features rising and successful food truck businesses. Aside from crafting a unique and delicious business idea, having patient and upbeat partners in travelling to bring good food all over your area is key to making this business concept work. You're just going to have to deal with the heat and limited space while working inside the truck. Apart from that, meeting new people and seeing their faces light up upon tasting your creations is nice and fun. Imagine a group of teenagers having a movie marathon on a lazy Sunday afternoon and your burger truck comes beeping a few blocks from their doorstep. They'll dig that. It will be a good thing for you, too.
Imagine if your homemade donuts could be the next Krispy Kreme, only you have an advantage because your shop is travelling 20 kilometers per hour and stopping every five minutes to satisfy at least 20 customers. You could start your own Forever 21, too, except you don't own those huge steel buildings because your page on the internet could display more items than a grand Forever 21 building could. There are definitely many ways to earn in a world that values convenience.
The most important thing to have in trying to start a business isn't just enough capital anymore, but also innovative ideas and the confidence that it will work out! Start thinking out of the box and sales will keep kicking while you're enjoying.
Oozing sludge and a sewage clean up crew that saved the day
I was in the kitchen at first cleaning up a bit when I heard a rumble and then a long whine from underneath me. I went to go check what was going on in the basement when I saw it, thick black sludge oozing in slow motion out from one of the pipes in the basement. It smelled pretty bad but otherwise looked fairly unthreatening. It was coming up slowly enough that I figured it did not pose any immediate threat. I called my husband down the basement to take a look and see what he thought. We both stared at the bubbling sludge for a minute, it was oddly captivating. After a minute or two we thought we should probably start moving things like the couch and different boxes away from the drainpipe. The sludge would go back and forward between oozing out and then retreating for a few minutes, then it would come back up again like the pipe was trying to keep it down but not really managing. We went ahead and rolled up all of the rugs and got everything in the clear. After it became clear that this problem would probably not fix itself we decided to call a flood cleanup company that deals with stuff like this. They said that since it was not an emergency they would be able to come out in two days. We figured that would be fine since it did not seem that the problem would get much worse and we had already cleared out around a ten-foot perimeter from the drainpipe so we did not think any of our stuff was in danger of being damaged. We left the ooze puddle and went to bed thinking everything would get fixed soon enough. The next morning we went to check on the drainpipe and saw that it had grown quite a bit overnight. It had rained that night, I am not sure if that was related or not but something made it grow a bit so we once again called the sewage clean up company and asked if there was any way they could come out any sooner. We were lucky enough that one of their jobs was finished much quicker than anticipated so they were able to send a small crew over to our house to look at the problem. We figured that since it would be a few hours before anyone could come by we should at least start with trying to remove some of the sludge ourselves so the pool of it would not be able to expand too much while we waited. It was pretty gross and it smelled awful but since there wasn't too much it only took us about ten minutes to get the majority of the sludge cleaned up. When the sewage clean up crew arrived we showed them the basement which by this point had a sludge pile about a foot around. They said that they see things like this all of the time and was probably just due to either a backup in the sewage pipe or maybe just too much flow. It only took them around two hours to get everything cleaned up and figure out what was going on with the pipes.

Plumber SEO Is One Part of a Robust Marketing Strategy
Just as plumbing may appear simple from the outside but is actually dizzyingly complex when you get down into the details, plumbing marketing is similar. At face value, you may think that it is simple. If someone were to explain to you the fundamental goal of online marketing in a sentence or two, this highly condensed and distilled articulation of the goal of online marketing might create the illusion that it is not all that tough. When confronted with the details, we would see that there are lots of moving parts, some of which work in tandem. There was a time when I used to think that advertising was tantamount to visual advertisements. But as I learned more and more about what actually goes into marketing a plumbing company, I came to realize that there are lots of little strategies for getting a company's name out there that you would not even notice. Every time that you put something into a search engine, you have almost certainly just had an interaction with a marketing strategy. Every time that you search for a plumbing company on the Internet, you have probably encountered plumber SEO. So if there are so many strategies, how is a plumber supposed to market his or her company? Well, he or she is not supposed to. By hiring a professional online marketing company to take care of your plumber marketing, you will be able to achieve a robust marketing strategy without dedicating all of your time to learning an entirely new trade. As a plumber, you have your own distinct skill set. You want to continue to improve your skills, and you can do so by delegating the hugely complex task of marketing to a professional company. And you need to. There are so many moving parts, and SEO, or search engine optimization, is only one part. Social media branding strategies are becoming increasingly popular. As social media becomes a more stable presence in our lives and online activity, it offers an excellent platform to market your plumbing company. It allows you to create a brand for your company, meaning a set of associations that come to a customer's mind when thinking of your company, but it also creates a brand, in the sense that it makes long-term, return customers. These return customers become more invested in your company through social media by following your plumbing company on Twitter, subscribing to your Youtube channel, or "liking" you on Facebook. While these may seem like things unrelated to your end goals, they work. Web site design is another part of a robust marketing strategy. Your website is your storefront in our age of digital technology. You need to make an impression upon the people that visit your website in the same way that you would make an impression upon people that visit your physical storefront. These things have benefits by themselves. But when they are combined into a multi-faceted strategy, the results are compounded and increased by a noticeable margin.
Wholesale Diamonds are More Reasonably Priced.
"Diamonds are forever" is more than just a saying. It is also a pretty good James Bond movie. In all seriousness, though, diamonds are a valuable commodity with a long cultural history. Like many other precious stones and metals, diamonds have been perceived as valuable by countless cultures, for thousands of years. They do have some pretty unusual properties that make them unique, even among other precious stones. For one thing, they are extraordinarily hard and can cut pretty much any other material. That is why, in addition to being used for jewelry, diamonds are often used in power tools that are used to cut very strong materials. Before they are turned into jewelry diamonds are sold form a wholesale diamond distributer. Because they have not been made into jewelry, wholesale diamonds are more reasonably priced. Of course, you need different kinds of diamonds for different purposes. If you want diamonds to make into equipment to cut bricks, you are probably mainly concerned with getting diamonds that are hard enough and reasonably priced. Their aesthetic properties are not as important. Of course, if you are buying diamonds for jewelry, the opposite is the case. When it comes to jewelry, people can be quite picky about their diamonds. When buying wholesale diamonds to be made into jewelry, you have to be sure they will be up to your company's standards. The kind of diamonds used in jewelry are examined closely for any imperfections. The diamonds that are considered the very best are used in certain kinds of jewelry, and the less perfect ones are used in others. If you are a jeweler, the best way to get ahold of good diamonds is to find a reputable supplier of loose diamonds. Loose diamonds have already been polished and are all but ready to be set into a piece of jewelry. Of course, all loose diamonds are by no means equal, and you need an expert to sort through them. Obviously, the weight of each diamond is an important factor. However, if a diamond with many imperfections is larger than one with very few imperfections, the smaller one could potentially be more valuable. Of course, in addition to its weight and clarity, the way in which a loose diamond is cut is also highly important. If a diamond is very well-cut its value will be greater than one that is poorly cut. This is another reason it is important to get your loose diamonds from a reputable supplier. As diamonds are highly expensive and highly limited commodities, there are various institutions that specialize in certifying diamonds with various different ratings. Different people have different opinions as to which institution does the best job of accurately rating diamonds. Some carry more clout in certain circles than others do. In the United States many people value GIA certified diamonds. For a variety of reasons, the GIA's certification is highly respected. By purchasing diamonds that have already been certified by one of these institutions, you can be even more sure you are getting a worthwhile stone.
Do Solar Panels Need Maintenance?
One of the top questions that buyers will have is whether their new solar panels will need maintenance – as with just about any other area of the home. When you think about all the areas that need servicing on an annual basis, the homeowner can quickly become overwhelmed. It would help a great deal if these systems came maintenance free.
The good news is that your solar panel will require minimal upkeep – which often means a simple wash with a dedicated cleaner every once in a while.
Here are a few extra tips for upkeep:
Check the roofing at least once a month to see if there is anything blocking the solar panel. This could include large trees overhanging on the roof, or leaves, bird droppings and other items. These objects or particles can hinder how well your solar panel system performs. Be sure to clear the area out as soon as possible, but be careful against slip and fall accidents, which are common when climbing the roof. Some safety tips are discussed below.
Landscaping – if you notice larger trees compromising the system, be sure to have these trees cut by a landscaper who will know how to properly angle the saw, so the weight does not impact the solar panel units. Instead it will fall on the ground. Ensure that pets and small children are out of reach and away from the area when these jobs are being conducted.
Cleaning – can be done with a small garden hose that extends up to the roofing area. Power washers are not recommended as these can destroy the unit.
When cleaning or inspections are being exercised, ensure that rubber boots are worn to resist slippery surfaces. The rungs of the ladder should also be sturdy and to a great extent, harnessing is recommended in the event of a fall.
You can also choose to hire a professional roofer who will be experienced with working on these surfaces. As an additional note, even if you have solar panels installed, it's wise to still have the roofing system inspected at least once per year – to detect leaks early. You will need to find out from the roofer if the system needs to be removed prior to inspections. Most units are installed on mounts to make installation and removals quite simple. This varies however.
One of the other things to keep in mind is the warranty of the solar panel system. Does this warranty guarantee a rust free shine for a specific time frame, or can you expect that the unit will look corroded after a short while? Depending on your preferences, you will want to check this information out before purchasing or installing the unit.
Also, adding insurance to the unit just in case of a natural disaster is a smart move. Many warranties for this type of equipment don't cover damage as a result of a natural disaster.
The bottom line is that solar panels are simple to upkeep, and are very efficient for getting the job of powering the home done.

Fixing our back patio for the summer
One of the reasons we loved this house so much was that it already had a basketball court in the back yard that the kids could use to relieve some energy and practice for the basketball team at school. We have used it steadily for years, and it has been a great addition to the fun weekend play times that we like to have with the kids, especially in the summer. But with the age of the house, and the very fluctuating weather that we have been having over the last few winters, the concrete slab that the basketball is played on has started to sag. We haven't yet developed any cracks in the slab, but it is definitely sinking to one side. In doing some research on getting a new slab put in, we discovered that we can actually save the slab that we already have, by hiring a contractor to do some concrete raising. I had never even heard of this method before, but after doing a little bit of reading, it sounds like it would be perfect for our situation. You have to have a concrete slab that isn't more than forty years old, which ours fits because it was put in just before we bought the house about ten years ago. And it has to be large enough, measuring several feet on each side, otherwise the chance of cracking is increased too much for them to really do it and guarantee it. So we decided that we would hire someone to do the concrete raising just as the ground is melted and thawed out, so that as the weather gets back to being warm enough to be outside, the boys will have a steady and stable place to play basketball again. And of course, I won't have to worry about all the water that has been pooling on the one corner of the court and then slowly feeding into my fence posts and making them rot. Water can cause all kinds of problems when it isn't set to flow in the right direction, and this sinking concrete slab has been giving us that as a problem as well. We had several people come out and look at the piece of concrete and give us an estimate, and they were all really in line with each other. But there is one company that has the right equipment to make it seem like they can get the job done in one day and not have to come back with different gear if the project ends up not going the right way for them. So we are thinking we are going to go with them. They have the biggest truck, and so they can haul all the slurry that is needed to raise the concrete slab, and then they also have the equipment that comes right into the back yard, so they can react much quicker to any necessary changes. So, concrete raising is what is going to save the basketball court in the back yard, and hopefully help us keep our resale value high as well.
Why I think JK is the best roofing company
It is always nice to cut out the middleman whenever possible. It doesn't matter if you are buying a car, buying a house, talking with an investment banker or dealing with a roofing contractor, a middleman's sole purpose is to increase the price of the product or service so he/she can get their cut. Obviously if you can eliminate the middleman you can save money for your self and often times save time as well.
I recently had to get my roof remodeled because of some storm damage and I was lucky enough to happen upon J&K roofing. I quickly learned what separates J&K from the other roofers in the area and that is the fact that their sales team receives a complete training program and all facets of the roofing process. This means they can give you estimates on the price and they have the authority to negotiate & contracts right then and there. You don't have to deal with a middleman which will only cause confusion. It is a personalized attention to detail that may go unnoticed by some but will be appreciated by others.
This company also prides itself on being at the forefront of technology in their field. You wouldn't consider roofing to be something of a high-tech industry but in fact there have been many advancements recently in the materials that have caused them to be cheaper, lighter and more weather resistant. Believe me, I wish we had these types of roofing tiles a few years ago when a huge wind storm came through town. I think we had to replace half of our asphalt shingles that day and it cost us several hundred dollars. Perhaps if we had this new age material that is so much stronger we could have avoided such a costly repair.
Beyond the fact that JK roofing carries cutting edge products that will someday change the way we think about roofing, they also stay grounded by providing timeless customer service that will surely keep them in business for years to come. The simple fact is that most people really only want to be treated well. When a customer walks into a mechanic shop they may not know everything about the products being used but they know when they are getting good service and being treated fairly. I felt that every step of the way with JK roofing contractors I was treated fairly and they not only let me ask questions but encouraged it.
I would encourage anyone who is experiencing a leak in the roof or termite damage to call JK roofing today and get that roof fixed right the first time. Don't be left in the cold because you decided to save money by calling someone else. The pricing at JK roofing is competitive and there is no middleman to drive up the price. You will have one point of contact throughout the phase of construction and that will make things much easier for you. Give them a call today!
Catering Services Are For More Than Just Weddings
Whenever I think of a catering, I think of wedding catering. Weddings are my go-to example of a common event with lots of people that are pretty stressful to organize and one in which people need to eat (at least at every wedding I've ever been to). But weddings are not the only time when you need to hire a catering company. Before brainstorming the kinds of events in which a catering service would be particularly apropos, what are the advantages of hiring a catering company? Certainly, it takes the burden of organization off of the host. This is seems to be first and foremost. A catering service just takes one more thing off of your plate (no pun intended) in the stress job of planning a big event. There can be so many things to take care of, being socially present and welcoming guests not least of these. When you hire a professional catering company, that is one less thing that you are going to have to worry about. Another advantage of hiring a catering company is that the quality of the food is going to greatly increase. You will not have to endure food that has been hurriedly whipped up to accommodate a bunch of people. You have hired a special team to make sure that each dish has been prepared to impress. Should you try to manage the food and cooking on your own, I guarantee the quality is going to decline. Unless you have a team of friends that are all trained cooks and do not mind helping out and not attending your event, then you ought to hire a company to cater your event. The Gourmet Kitchen, in particular, offers a rather exquisite menu including but not limited to some delicious Indian dishes. The last advantage of hiring a catering service that will be mentioned here (because there are many more) is the timeliness of the service. This also depends upon the event, too. You do not want to keep family members waiting at a wedding, but this seems to me a little less daunting. If you are, however, hosting a business gala in which you are hosting clients, you want the event to reflect well upon your business. And so you also want a catering service is timely, professional, and prompt. When you combine all of these things, what kinds of event fit this bill? Well, one has already mentioned. Almost any event that your business hosts in which some level of formality is required, you definitely want to hire a catering service. But formality is not a necessary requirement. I would think about hiring a catering service for a family reunion. Depending on the size of the reunion, that could be a lot of cooking. And if you are indeed part of the family, wouldn't you too want to socialize and reconnect? There are lots of different events that lend themselves well to hiring a catering service. Of course, weddings are a given, but think outside the box.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Inspirational authors have committed to a panel discussion on Christian fiction at the West Virginia Book Festival.
"A faith-based perspective remains at the core of evangelical fiction, but today's fans are reading these books not just because of the Christian focus. They also love this genre because it quenches their inner thirst for knowledge, spiritual guidance, and, yes, entertainment," according to the Library Journal.
Tamera Alexander, Lynn Austin and Julie Klassen, all award-winning authors, will discuss the genre at 2 p.m. Oct. 14.
Alexander authored "A Lasting Impression," the first of three novels showcasing the richest woman in America at the time, and the Belmont Mansion in the years following the Civil War. The book was recently named a 2012 Christy Award finalist (an award honoring excellence in Christian Fiction) for Best Historical Romance.
Her ninth novel, "To Whisper Her Name," the first of three novels, will be released in the fall, and tells the story behind the most influential thoroughbred stud farm in the nation's history.
Austin has won seven Christy Awards for excellence in Christian fiction. Her novel "Hidden Places" has been made into a Hallmark Channel movie.
Two of Klassen's books, "The Girl in the Gatehouse" and "The Silent Governess," won the Christy Award for Historical Romance. "The Girl in the Gatehouse" also won a Midwest Book Award and "The Silent Governess" was a finalist in Romance Writers of America's RITA awards.
The West Virginia Book Festival will take place Oct. 13 and 14 at the Charleston Civic Center. The annual two-day event will feature a variety of authors participating in book signings, readings, workshops and lectures. Activities for children include special programs and a section of the marketplace devoted to children's activities. Admission to the festival is free. For information, visit www.wvbookfestival.org.

Baker Update
The scary injury freshman defenseman Justin Baker suffered in Game 2 of St. Lawrence's ECAC quarterfinal series with Yale may linger into the 2011-12 season.
Baker is seeking a second opinion on the injury, which was initially ruled as a dislocated knee but has since been evaluated as a torn patella tendon and requires surgery. The rehabilitation process will likely last into next season and could jeopardize his sophomore campaign entirely.
St. Lawrence is welcoming at least four players to compliment the large freshman class it brought in last season. The Saints are also hoping to land up to three more by week's end. Here's who have signed so far:

"Dr" Ural: for future reference--because I'm confident you will continue to stand as the…Read Morel one voice defending truth, justice, and the American way, and obstructing EVERY possible action the School Committee undertakes by dint of your keen legal eye and majestic ego--complaints don't name anyone as "perpetrators." Sheesh. I actually laughed out loud at that one. The term you are looking for is "respondents." Remember, please, that you are a mere SC member, not a detective investigating crime on the mean streets of Stoughton.
Also, the complaint--filed by someone running for school board--is an embarassing compendium of incorrect word use, egregious grammatical and syntactical errors, and idiosyncratic punctuation. Anyone ostensibly involved in education putting so little care into his own writing loses my vote on my spot. I do not expect us all to be masters of the language, but I do expect my School Commitee members to attend to detail and to show the language, and the taxpayers, AND the children we educating, a modicum of respect.
To remedy these violations, Mr. Horan requests that "Dr" Ural and Mr Soares to take the following three specific actions:
1. Acknowledge in a public meeting and that the misuse of the term "perpetrators" was both legally incorrect and a comically transparent attempt to place complaint respondents in a bad light.
2. Pledge immediate and future compliance with Fowlers' Handbook of English Usage.
3. Have the persons complaining herein undergo Freshman Composition 101 training and re-write the complaint in such a fashion that it displays a basic familiarity with 21st century American English.
I'd also suggest that "Dr." Ural consider running for higher office--perhaps State Auditor. Much as I'd hate to lose such a local treasure and endless font of great ideas, his immense talents are wasted in this small town. I have no doubt but that he'd quickly find a whole new set of personal vendettas to fuel his investigative fires, and that his nose for the most minute and meaningless technical violations would allow him to bring our state government to a complete standstill.

100% Recycled Paper Towels - Natural
These hard-working paper towels absorb spills quickly, even when wet. Buying products made from recycled paper helps reduce the need for virgin wood pulp, which means more trees are left standing.
- 100% recycled paper
- 100% unbleached
- Minimum 50% post-consumer recycled paper
- No added dyes, inks or fragrances
Seventh Generation Paper Towels are made from 100% recycled paper, with a minimum of 50% post-consumer content. Brown color paper towels are unwhitened.
If every household in the US replaced just one 6-pack of 140-sheet virgin paper towels with our 100% recycled product we could save:
over 2,200,000 trees, over 780 million gallons of water, a year's supply for over 6,000 families of four, and 5.7 million cubic feet of landfill space, equal to over 8,400 full garbage trucks. Learn more.

Hi NotSatisifiedatall,
I'm sorry to hear that paper towels did not work well for you. We actually just released some new more absorbent paper towels. Please contact our Customer Service department, we would love to help you try the new ones. Thanks Sefton
First time I've used 7th Generation, and never will again. I have to use double the amount of towels I would normally use to clean up spills or dry my counter off after doing the dishes. Completely worthless, yet more expensive than what I normally pay. No thanks.
i love your paper towels i use them to clean every time and i love the idea of not wasting trees when cleaning
I am a huge Seventh Generation products fan. These paper towels, however, may be the only product of their line that I may not buy again. I am REALLY into "closing the loop" by buying recycled products after recycling almost all of my refuse, but these paper sheets are just SO thin. They rip far too easily and not according to their perforations. Also, when it's time to clean up a spill I need a little more!
Sorry SG but these need some more time with the boys & girls in R&D :(
i've been using the recycled paper towels for a number of years now; have always been satisfied with the product. just pulled out a recently purchased roll and was dismayed to find the quality significantly inferior to the towels i have used in the past.
don't know if this comes from a new facility or if the process has been changed, but the new towels are less substantial and tear more easily in all the wrong places.
hoping that this is a temporary situation as i am a big fan of the company and your products. if not i guess i'll be looking for a different paper towel :(
november 2010.

More Information
Chemical engineering is concerned with the design, development and management of facilities that convert raw materials into useful products. The engineer must assume responsibility for the economical use of the raw materials, preservation of the environment, and profitability of the operation. The chemical engineering program has been designed to provide both the engineering competence and the professional skills necessary to succeed in this endeavor. In order to achieve this objective, the curriculum incorporates coursework in both of these areas throughout the four-year duration of the program.
Program Objectives
The undergraduate program in chemical engineering provides students with an excellent foundation in chemical and biological engineering fundamentals that allows them to prepare for careers in professional practice and/or for advanced studies. We expect our graduates to meet the challenges associated with their individual career paths and possess the skills necessary for success in the workplace. The educational objectives of our undergraduate program are to produce graduates who will:
- Employ their technical, problem solving, analytical thinking, and communication skills to contribute to society in any field where they are professionally active.
- Act with a strong commitment to the safe and ethical practice of their profession by being aware of the technical, environmental, societal, and economic impact of their work.
- Effectively communicate (through both oral and written communication) with other professionals and the general public.
- Constantly innovate throughout their careers to add value to our economy, environment and society by addressing key challenges that confront us.
- Facilitate collaborative team building and interdisciplinary approaches to problem solving.
- Provide effective leadership to the profession and community.
The chemical engineering curriculum emphasizes basic knowledge and applications of transport processes, thermodynamics and kinetics of processes, automatic control, and design, as well as fundamental sciences, mathematics and engineering sciences. Design experience is spread across the curriculum, beginning with the Introduction to the Profession courses. Equipment design is emphasized in courses such as Fluid Mechanics, Heat and Mass-Transfer Operations, Thermodynamics, and Chemical Reaction Engineering. Control-system design is practiced in the Process Control course. Process modeling, simulations and optimization are discussed and practiced in Transport Phenomena, Process Modeling and System Theory, Numerical and Data Analysis, Statistical Tools for Engineering, and Process Control courses. The capstone design courses (Chemical Process Design and Process Design IPRO) integrate these design concepts and practice process design and optimization. In addition to engineering competence, the program also examines the economic, environmental and societal implications of chemical engineering.
In addition to the core curriculum, special programs exist to accommodate students who want to develop more extensive background in related areas. With their exposure to a wide range of industrial applications and problems, students are better equipped to make a decision to explore an area of interest in depth. Professional specializations are available in:
- Energy/Environment/Economics (E3)
- Environmental Engineering
- Polymer Science and Engineering
- Bioengineering
- Process Design and Operation

Entry for 'What was the worst thing you've done' contest.
Did two takes, and both were 4 min...didn't realise until I had packed up everything and sat down to edit, oh well :)
Thanks guys :) it's just practise I guess; I've been trying to make a decent video on here for 3 years now lol. I don't do scripts either because I find I get strung up trying to remember the words and loose whatever feelings I am trying to convey. I pretty much just think of a scenario which I can imagine myself in and then improv.
I pretty much just act as myself, I've tried pulling off characters and it doesnt always go very well, but no actor in the world can play you better than yourself the only thing to do is get comfortable with talking to a camera.
You should give it a try James! Just talk to the camera as yourself, you deserve to get some stuff into the film.
This was a great video with a brilliant performance.
This is why I never appear in front of the camera. I can't act for toffee! :)
To do all of this in one take without ever flinching or looking like you were reeling off a script was amazing.
A definate win in my book too.

Allyson Felix was born on November 18, 1985 in California. Nicknamed "Chicken Legs" for her lanky physique, Felix went out for the track team in 7th grade. She excelled from the start, within a year finishing seventh in the 200-meter dash at the CIF California State Meet, eventually becoming a five-time winner. At the 2004 Summer Games, she finished second in the women's 200-meter race, behind Jamaica's Veronica Campbell-Brown,
and earned the silver medal. She earned another silver at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, again finishing behind Campbell-Brown. She earned her first gold that year, with the women's 4-by-400-meter relay team. Felix became a three-time Olympic gold medalist in 2012; at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, she won two gold medals, in the women's 200 and the 4-by-100-meter relay.
Early Life
Olympic gold medalist and famed sprinter Allyson Felix was born on November 18, 1985 in Los Angeles, California. Felix was raised a devout Christian by her father, an ordained minister, and her mother, a local elementary school teacher. Her older brother, Wes Felix,is also a sprinter.
Athletically gifted from a young age, Felix began playing basketball as a kid, where she was cleverly nicknamed "Chicken Legs" for her lanky physique. In order to demonstrate her physical strength, she went out for the track team while in the 7th grade. She excelled from the start, within a year finishing seventh in the 200-meter dash at the CIF California State Meet, eventually becoming a five-time winner.
In 2003, Track and Field News named Felix its national girls "High School Athlete of the Year." Soon after, as a high school senior, she finished second in the 200 at the U.S. Indoor Track & Field Championships. That same year, she made history in Mexico City, finishing the 200-meter race in 22.11 seconds, a new world record in the under-20 category. In 2003, Felix decided to forge college eligibility and instead sign a professional contract with Adidas, who picked up her college tuition at the University of Southern California.
Olympic Medalist
At just 18 years old, Felix competed in her first Olympics, the 2004 Summer Games in Athens. Competing in the 200-meter race, she finished second, behind Jamaica's Veronica Campbell-Brown, and earned the silver medal. In 2005, she became the youngest champion to compete at the World Championships, and two years later, she became only the second female to win three gold medals at a single World Championships.
At the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, Felix ran a personal best of 21.93 in the 200 meters, but again finished behind Campbell-Brown, taking a second silver medal. She did, however, earn one gold medal that year, with the women's 4-by-400-meter relay team.
At the 2012 Olympic Games in London, Felix finally struck an independent gold medal, beating out Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Carmelita Jeter in the 200, respectively, with a time of 21.88 seconds. Her longtime rival, Veronica Campbell-Brown, finished fourth in the race.
