Stop your home leaking moneyPublished at 3:43PM, May 24 2013
Our homes are expensive to keep warm. They leak money as heat seeps out through the very fabric of the structure. So what's to be done?
The Government's new Green Deal scheme is the ideal incentive to crack on with energy efficient home improvements, then sit back and enjoy the benefits — with a virtuous glow
Doubling up on decorating and home improvements to save time and money is a golden rule for smart homeowners, particularly with older places. Or, to put that another way, as the comedian George Burns once quipped: "You know you're getting old when you bend down to tie your shoelaces and think about what else you might do while you're down there." The same is true for properties that are getting on a bit.
Whether you're fitting a new kitchen or clearing out the loft, it's worth considering what other improvements you can make while you're going through the disruption to reduce energy emissions and cut your bills.
The Green Deal, the Government's flagship energy-saving plan, is a scheme to help you make and pay for those green improvements. There's even a cashback incentive for some improvements, with payments for individual jobs ranging from as little as £10 for insulating your hot water cylinder, to £650 to help with external wall insulation systems. Packages could be worth up to £1,000 or over for each home.
So, whether you're tackling a project as part of broader home improvements or you just want to take advantage of a great scheme to help you to make your home warmer and cosier whilst reducing your energy bills, it's well worth finding out more about the Green Deal.
The Government's aim is to improve millions of our draughty and inefficient properties. UK buildings are some of the least efficient in the world and account for 38 per cent of the country's greenhouse gas emissions — a statistic that gives householders an opportunity to play a significant part in reducing energy waste just by making some small changes.
Millions of us still don't have double glazing, more than half of us don't have adequate insulation or an efficient boiler, and most of us don't have proper heating controls. The Green Deal is your chance to get those jobs done. You can even get help fitting new technologies, such as solar panels or wind turbines, so that you can create your own energy.
Should you choose to take out Green Deal Finance to fund your project, repayments will be made through your electricity bill, because everyone has one of those. Your bills should not go up because the cost of the work will be offset by the savings you make on energy after getting the work done.
Then, if you sell your home, the repayments stay with the property and the work continues to be paid off via the electricity bill as the new occupants get the benefits.
Any company that carries out work for the Green Deal is subject to testing for quality and reliability. So look out for the Green Deal Approved quality mark — a little greenhouse with a tick — when choosing the businesses you work with. Only accredited Green Deal Assessors, providers and installers can display it, to show that they meet the Green Deal standards and are authorised to operate under the scheme. Then, if anything should go wrong, you have comeback through the Green Deal Ombudsman.
There are five simple steps to getting Green Deal improvements for your property. The first one is to get in a Green Deal Assessor who will work out what you need to have done and how much you're likely to save on fuel bills. You can find Assessors who cover your area by going to gov.uk/greendeal or calling the Energy Saving Advice Service on 0300 123 1234. After that, you're on the road to reduced energy costs.
Step 1. Get assessed Many different organisations, including energy companies and local tradespeople, are authorised to do this. Keep an eye out for the Green Deal quality mark when booking. Your Assessor will talk to you about your energy use and see if you could benefit from energy-saving improvements to your property. The assessment is likely to cost about £100, although some companies may do it free if you go on to use their finance to fund your project. You can find Assessors who cover your area by going to gov.uk/greendeal or calling the Energy Saving Advice Service on 0300 123 1234.
2. Make a decision Your Assessor will recommend improvements appropriate for your property and indicate whether they are likely to pay for themselves through reduced energy bills.
3. Get quotes A Green Deal Provider will help you to decide if a Green Deal Plan is right for you, provide finance and arrange for any improvements to be carried out. You can get as many quotes as you like from local or national suppliers and there is no obligation to choose any of the recommendations made to you. Once you've chosen a Provider, they will write up a Green Deal plan that sets out the work that will be done and the repayments you will make through your electricity bill, which should be no more than you can expect to save.
4. Get the work done Once you've agreed to a plan, your Provider will arrange for the improvements to be made to your home by a Green Deal Installer. If you have a preferred company that usually works on your home, you can arrange for them to undertake the improvements, as long as they are an accredited Green Deal Installer.
5. Enjoy the benefits Your Green Deal repayments will be automatically added to the electricity bill for the property, even if you use gas or oil as your main energy source. The finance stays with the property it has been used to improve — so if you move, the new owners will continue to pay the finance on the electricity bill. You can change your electricity supplier at any time as long as the new supplier is participating in the Green Deal.
There are 45 different home improvements available under the Green Deal, and many come with a cashback incentive. Packages could be worth up to £1,000 or over for each home. Here's how much you could save by installing some of these measures:
Cavity wall insulation £250
Draught-proofing £50
Fan-assisted replacement storage heaters £150
Flue gas heat recovery devices £90
Gas-fired condensing boilers £270
Heating controls £70
Heating ventilation and air-conditioning controls £70
High-performance external doors £40
Hot water cylinder insulation £10
Loft or rafter insulation, including top-up £100
Room in roof insulation £220
Secondary glazing, up to £320
Warm air units £320
Waste water heat recovery devices attached to showers £60
*The cashback deal is open to any household in England & Wales making energy saving improvements under the Green Deal. The Scottish Government is offering households up to £500 towards Green Deal recommended energy efficiency measures. Full terms and conditions of the cash back offer can be found at gov.uk/greendeal

At first, the sound on these speakers didn't grab me, i thought it may be my amp, an Arcam Alpha 5 or maybe it was my speaker stands. But after adjusting tonal and stand placements the speakers started to sing. I decided to change my Amp and in doing so found a Denon PMA-255UK Amp at the right price.
Since the addition of the Amp, the sound is a lot clearer, bass response is a lot tighter and more refined without being wooly.
Rest of my equipment is a Technics RS-BX606 Cassette Desk, a Sony MDS-JE330 Mini Disk Recorder and a Sony CDP 337ESD CD Player.
As you can imagine this is fairly eclectic equipment which need a precise Amp to work propely and have found them to be able to match the requirements of this Amp and Speakers.

Meet Boris the Boxer Mix
Who couldn't love a face like this?
Boris the boxer mix is a stately gentlemen who is currently interviewing potential candidates to become his new best friend.
Don't be fooled by the look of gray around his muzzle. Boris' pearly white teeth confirm that he's just a naturally distinguished looking guy. He's about three years old.
Boris loves people. He is working on his leash skills, and he already knows how to sit and shake.
Last night, I met Boris for the first time during a Beer Paws event.
Boris volunteered to greet guests as they arrived, and he looked great in his turquoise Beer Paws bottle opener.
I was so impressed by his calm demeanor and the gentle way he interacted with everyone, including children.
Boris is available for adoption through State Line Animal Hospital in Leawood, Kansas.
However, he is currently taking a break from the shelter environment and spending time at Kennel Creek Pet Resort, as a guest of the Wayward Dog Foundation. (What's that? I"ll tell you more about it this weekend!)
Please share Boris' story with your network! If he looks like the right dog for you or someone you know, check out his Petfinder profile.
Your Chance to Meet Boris: Unless he is adopted by the time the Kansas City Chiefs take revenge on the Denver Broncos on Sunday, Dec. 1, Boris will stop by the Tavern at Mission Farms in Leawood during the game. Kennel Creek and Beer Paws are hosting a watch party there for the game that day. Click here for more details.

Boris, I hope you will find your forever home soon and I cross my paws that you can celebrate christmas together with your new family.

DETROIT -- Right winger Daniel Alfredsson's goal with .04 seconds left in overtime gave the Detroit Red Wings a 5-4 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday night at Joe Louis Arena. It was Alfredsson's second goal and he added an assist while winger Gustav Nyquist had a goal and an assist and left wingers Tomas Tatar and Todd Bertuzzi scored for Detroit (32-24-13). Defenseman Danny DeKeyser had two assists and goaltender Jimmy Howard made 39 saves in the win. Center Evgeni Malkin scored twice and right wingers Lee Stempniak and Craig Adams scored for Pittsburgh (45-19-5). Wingers James Neal and Jussi Joninen each had two assists and goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 25 shots. Alfredsson's game winner came when his rebound bounced in off Pittsburgh defenseman Rob Scuderi for Alfredsson's 17th goal and third in two games. Adams goal with 4:17 left in regulation tied the game at 4. His fifth goal and first in 65 games came on a one-timer from in front. Tatar's goal 9:59 into the third tied it at 3. He chipped in center Riley Sheahan's cross-ice pass for Tatar's 15th goal. Bertuzzi gave the Red Wings the lead just 2:18 later when his attempted pass from the left boards went in off Pittsburgh defenseman Olli Maatta. It was Bertuzzi's ninth goal. The Penguins scored three goals in 2:41 late in the second period to take a 3-2 lead. Stempniak put Pittsburgh on the board with 4:43 left in the middle period when he tipped in left winger Chris Kunitz' shot. It was Stempniak's 10th of the season and second goal and fourth point in two games. Malkin's first goal of the game, and 20th of the season, tied the game 25 seconds later when he put a shot in off Howard from beside the net. Malkin then gave the Penguins the lead with 2:02 left in the second with a 5-on-3 power-play goal. Nyquist had given the Red Wings a 2-0 lead with a power-play goal 4:35 into the middle period with his 20th goal. It was his fourth goal in three games and 15th since Jan. 20, which leads the league. Alfredsson opened the scoring 7:21 into the game when he cut into the slot and ripped a wrist shot past Fleury. NOTES: Detroit played its first game without D Jonathan Ericsson, who suffered a broken finger in Tuesday night's 3-2 win over Toronto. He had surgery and will miss at least two weeks. ... Penguins RW James Neal played his 400th game. He also played junior hockey with the Plymouth Whalers of the Ontario Hockey League, who are based in suburban Detroit. ... The Red Wings assigned D Adam Almquist to their AHL affiliate in Grand Rapids. ... Penguins coach Dan Bylsma is from Grand Haven, which is in the western part of Michigan. ... Pittsburgh LW Kris Kunitz played college hockey at Ferris State University, which is located in the west Michigan city of Big Rapids.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

The Trona Pinnacles, America's largest collection of tufa towers, are in the Mojave Desert near Trona, California. (The town is named after the evaporite mineral trona, Na3(CO3)(HCO3)·2H2O.) Tufa towers are a sign of drastically changed climate. Tufa is a spongy kind of travertine, a calcium carbonate deposit formed where springs discharge groundwater into conditions (thermal or chemical) that force the mineral content out of solution. The presence of tufa towers means that where desert exists today, underwater springs once discharged into a large, deep lakeprobably a salty, alkaline lake like Mono Lake, California, where modern tufa towers are growing. The remains of Trona's former lake, Searles Lake, are salt beds that are mined today for many useful minerals, especially boron ores like ulexite.

Engine Room
Zazz Engineering Introduces ATC-Ventilation
ZAZZ Engineering's ATC's touch interface, for engine room ventilation control, was conceived from the start to have vibrant graphics, intuitive design and the look and feel of easy-to-use, touch-based consumer electronics. The ATC (Automated Touch Control) automatically controls engine room ventilation monitoring inside and outside temperature, fan speed and engine room pressure. Powered by an integrated 24V DC supply, the ATC touch interface is equipped with an Ethernet Port for easy connection to the CPU. Available in two standard screen sizes, 8.4" and 10.4" other sizes are available. ZAZZ Engineering's, George MacDonald says, "Todays engine room ventilation is becoming more and more sophisticated, our engineering department, works with the architect, designer, shipyard or builder to design the best possible ventilation solution for the engine room, at no charge." For more information visit their website at www.zazzeng.com
Latest Developments in Engine Room Simulators
Transas Marine has released a new simulator product, which is a stand-alone Engine Room simulator, ERS Solo.

The ERS Solo possesses all the functionality of ERS 2000, other than its on-line Instructor functions
Impressive Dutch Vessel
If there was a worldwide competition for the most immaculate engine room, it might very well be won by an engine room from the Netherlands. In fact it might even belong to Mr. and Mrs. Van der Stelt whose new vessel, Mon Desir, transports coal along the river system from the German Ruhrgebiet. The 443 ft long hull of the ship was built near the mouth of the Volga River in the JSC 3d International Shipyard in Astrakan Russia

Part of their assessment will be a completion of series of progressive tasks aimed at obtaining basic
Engineered Ventilation Systems Keep Engine Rooms Humming
Circulation of dry, cool air is critical for engine performance, longevity and safety. Delta "T" Systems said it offers a single comprehensive source for all the components that make up an engineered system. Effective marine ventilation requires more than just fans to promote air flow. Equally important in maintaining an optimal engine room environment, moisture eliminators maintain the dry conditions that motors demand, while dampers provide an all-important safety mechanism

Uganda's microfinance policy regime: An exploratio through a political-economy framework
AbstractIn 2005, Uganda' government fundamentally shifted the direction of its microfinance (MF) policy. Hitherto it had focused on integrating MF institutions into the financial sector, allowing them to take deposits. Since 2005, it focuses on savings and credit cooperatives (SACCOs); with government funding of and ostensibly interfering in the SACCOs' operations. This paper explores the reversal of policy direction, drawing on public choice theory. It finds that the shift of policy direction served the objectives of Uganda's politicians to maintain political power, as it offered them an avenue to create loyalty through patronage. MF special interest groups – particularly development agencies – had chosen a strategy based on information and financial contributions that failed to incite politicians and to maintain univocal support from technocrats and MF practitioners.

Carpet Cleaning reviews in Marco Island
W planned on replacing the carpet in this home we just bought but these guys did an incredible job. I've hired many of carpet cleaners over the years and buy far these guys are the best. I wouldn't consider another carpet cleaner ever.
Owner quoted a price on the phone for steam cleaning. When he arrived he said we were "confused", actual price would be $100 more. He then claimed that the phone quote didn't include grout sealing which was extra. Proceeded to clean tile and grout. Just before he clompleted the job my husbnd noticed that he was not using steam to clean the tiles. He assured my husband that the finished job would be as good as steam cleaning. Finished cleaned grout did not look much different than before cleaning. He said we would like it when it was completely dry and to wait 24 hours before inspecting. He said he would return if we were not completely satisfied. I was not satisfied with the job, it continued to look the same after drying. We had company coming so I put the issue aside until I could readress the problem later. When my husband called on April 28 to ask him to return as we were not pleased with many areas, he refused and told us we must have gotten the grout dirty again and just wanted a free cleaning. After some argument he agreed to come back on May 6, 2011 between the hours of 10 to 12AM. He never showed up. I had grout and tile cleaning with sealer done on my other home last year of similar size. I paid 1/3 of what I was charged by "
When you phone were tidy and professional. I have not yet used their tile/grout cleaning service but will not hesitate to try them for that and to use them for repeat carpet cleaning."
He worked hard at getting the areas clean, but some were probably indelible because of they way the carpets were laid when the house was built (not properly cleaned underneath before the initial laying). In consequence some, but not all of the discoloration has returned.
Provider warned us this could be the case and was a straight-foward, hard-working person to deal with
Provider warned us this could be the case and was a straight-foward, hard-working person to deal with

This mid-weight backpacker has a reputation for comfort and old-school style, which may explain why it's as common at the grocery store as on the trail. It's also equally at home under the weight of a pack or on a casual day hike.
While being comfortable enough to live in every day, this shoe's secure lacing and tenacious sticky rubber sole inspires plans into the unknown.
An updated version of the classic Sundowner, this mid-weight backpacking boot is most comfortable logging miles on the A.T., P.C.T., and Continental Divide trails. Thicker leather uppers and resilient polyurethane midsole provide comfort on extended journeys.
Women stand toe-to-toe with men when it comes to taking full advantage of the winter months. That's why we offer the women's specific Vasque Pow Pow. The boots are equipped with UltraDry waterproofing technology and 400 grams of 3M Thinsulate Ultra for superior insulated comfort.

Christina Aguilera at the 2008 American Music Awards
2008 American Music Awards: Christina Aguilera
by POPSUGAR Beauty 37 Reactions 0 Shares Print
Christina Aguilera has been flirting with bold red lips and can't-miss-them hot pink lips lately, but for the American Music Awards she changed things up. This dark berry lip is the focal point of her look, and she's wisely chosen to go easy on the eye makeup. She's also sporting a few snips to her bangs. Does the contrast of her corkscrew curls and newly trimmed fringe work? You be the judge.
Vote on all of my href="http://bellasugar.com/slides/tags/2008+American+Music+Awards+Poll">American Music Awards polls here!

So much better than the "make-up spackle" she usually wears. She looks more sophisticated.

Her bangs are much better here then they had been before. I wish her curls were more like waves. But I do love the dark lip.

I think she looks great. While I am not loving those bangs, she looks a lot better than she has been lately. Her makeup looks pretty and more natural than it normally does too.
Swen 5 years
I love this look. The lipstick is a beautiful shade. Usually Christina looks so bad to me, like she's piling on tons of makeup. This is dramatic, but not overdone. I'm surprised I actually love one of her looks.

I agree with bjg007. Those bangs are very Mia Farrow circa "Rosemary's Baby." She should take it all the way.
Drewsfan 5 years
I love the eensie bangs, I chop mine like that once in awhile. She looks amazing, imo.
PinkNC 5 years
When is she going to try out some new lipstick color? The good kind. The darker on her tonight is no better. And her usual fire engine red is so old. This look is a mess all the way around. It looks as if the person who styled her hair just didn't care about the finished product on her.
Jessiebanana 5 years
The hair wouldn't have been so bad if she had taken a comb to it after she had it curled.
brittanyk 5 years
I voted love it, just because she doesn't look like a total hot mess, haha. I'm not loving the bangs, but maybe I would like them better if her hair was straight.

help cities gjgf
The beauty of the clip, and what puts it at christian louboutin outletchristian mulberry lily louboutin outletnumber one, is that you actually get to see Bowa assess the situation, take a mulberry sale few quiet moments to mull it over, before launching into his redundant manifesto on the topic of the pitcher's similarity to a woman' sexual organ while in use. Even when his teammates cheap mulberry bags tell him to calm down he is unflagging, and even adds the universal sign for the c bomb to mulberry outlet illustrate his point. It' like he' a born again in 'The Church of That Guy' michael kors outlet online a Fucking Cunt.' However, Bowa' finest moment is when he turns to his manager, who is trying to calm him down, and offers the rational, almost childlike rebuttal, "What? He's a fucking cunt.". Their courtship got so hot and heavy that at one point, Liverpool's owners briefly michael kors handbags outlet posted a story that suggested Dempsey had joined the club, leading to an official complaint to the league from Fulham coach mulberry factory outlet Martin Jol. Yet as the Aug. 31 player transfer deadline neared, a christian louboutin outletdeal remained tantalizingly out of reach.. Vs. mulberry handbags sale Slovenia match. The United States had a terrible first half and Slovenia went into the second half with a score of 2 0. Team Fred approach could be used for any type of business louis vuitton outlet miami problem requiring mapping or zoning, according to Kimbrough: It could help cities draw better louis vuitton luggage outlet districts for emergency services such as fire or police. Adding criteria, such as travel time from one side of a district to another, for example, could help a michael kors bags outlet delivery company reorganize to save on gas costs. Better police precincts and service districts for other emergency services could be constructed, as could better sales and distribution areas.Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 07/02/2014 - 9:05pm.

Hudson Valley Restaurants
The Would
The Would Review
This white-tablecloth restaurant was once a resort catering to Italian families from New York City; boccie is still played here on summer evenings. The food is no throwback, however; organic produce and poultry blend with ingredients and techniques from around the world. Grilled salmon is served with a cucumber-jalapeno salsa, pan-seared chicken is complemented by shiitake mushrooms, and grilled tuna is accompanied by sweet soy and wasabi. In winter a fireplace warms the dining room.
