Problems are as follows. 1) floor is pitted so we'd like to grind the floor down about 1/4 inch. 2) The surface has been painted so in the ares that I can't grind down is there an easy way to remove the paint? 3) We are looking for some type of cement grinder to make the floor more level. HELP !!!!!

- Resurfacing garage floor
If you want to take the floor down 1/4" you should be able to find all the stuff you need at a local Idustrial rental outfit. You want the rental places that rent Bobcats and such. First, you need a shot blaster similar to this http://www.floor-equipment.com/concrete-grinders-and-polishers/panther-shotblast-machine.html. That will get the depth you need. Then you will have to come back with a floor grinder and smooth out the floor. I would reccomend a planetary set up like this http://www.floor-equipment.com/concrete-grinders-and-polishers/renegade-planetary-grinder-polisher-and-sander.html. Make sure that you tell the rental people what you are ding so that they can reccomend the correct diamonds. Otherwise, you will just endup with a very scratched floor. Hope that helps.

To make sure unexpected situations like the one at Cadillac Mercy Hospital go smoothly, the Wexford County Emergency Management coordinator steps in to help.
Sarah Benson says emergency management helped with response efforts and became a point of communication for outside agencies. They also kept a close eye on the situation to see if more resources were needed.
Communication is a big part of emergency situations like this, and Bensons says Wednesday's events went really well.
Benson says several training drills they've done in the past have helped to make the response go smoothly.

Progressive Sickness
Both men above have been treated unfairly. One has been criticized for doing absolutely nothing, the other praised for accomplishing nothing. I mean, did he really deserve an ESPY award for courage? He's endured pretty much nothing but love and praise.
I feel like we talk about gay issues way too much on this blog. Why is that? Well, we mostly talk about current events, and it just so happens that society (mostly the media) has deemed homosexuality an important (and volatile) issue. I don't know why.
So today, we're talking about the Evil Tony Dungy. Why is he evil, you may ask? Well, let me tell you, bro! Somebody asked him if he would have drafted Michael Sam, the Great American Hero, and he said he wouldn't. WTF?!? He must hate gays! Because we all know that if a football player, or any person for that matter, declares their sexual preference to be same-sex, then that automatically makes them a courageous, heroic figure. Every team should line up for the chance to not only draft him, but stand in amazement and awe of his magnificence. They should probably just go ahead and put him in the Hall of Fame. I'm sure he'll have to deal with the same type horrors Jackie Robinson did. /s
Ok, here's the actual story. Speaking to the Tampa Bay Tribune , Tony Dungy said "I wouldn't have taken him. Not because I don't believe Michael Sam should have a chance to play, but I wouldn't want to deal with all of it."
"It's not going to be totally smooth … things will happen.''
Any reasonable person should agree. Look, let's face some facts here. Sam was not a first round pick. He's not an amazing, or even great player. Seventh round picks are essentially on the same level as undrafted free agents. Many don't even make the team. If Sam doesn't make the final roster, media and the left will start calling the Rams homophobes and say Jeff Fisher hates gay people. They are not free to treat Sam fairly because there will be serious consequences if he's cut.
Back to Tony Dungy. Here we have a man who is beloved by the sports world and beyond. Great, winning coach who players love, is respectful and respectable, and just an all-around awesome human being. But, there's a serious problem. You see, most importantly, he's a devout Christian. Progressives just can't stand that. They hate religion and anyone who believes in it. Mostly Christianity, since that makes him hate gays, because being Christian means hating gays, amirite guys lol!! So now, because, without denigrating Sam or criticizing him in any way, Dungy said that he wouldn't want the gargantuan media circus, along with the team and personal scrutiny that would come with drafting a mediocre player (mediocre is my statement, not Dungy's), he hates gays. The media has gone berserk on him, proving his point correct.
Who wants to draft an average player that will bring major scrutiny to the team? Why can Tony not speak to the detriment of drafting a player who will be a major off-field distraction, and can't be dropped whether he sucks (pun intended) or not. What he said makes perfect sense. Sam was neither the best or only defensive end available. If I have a choice between a guy who will bring a large circus, and a guy who will not and has just as much talent, guess who I'm picking? Some coaches might like all the unnecessary attention. Tony, and I suspect most, wouldn't. Neither would I.
The Rams will be under a huge magnifying glass this year. Teammates' every comment on Sam will be dissected, and some will be declared homophobic bigots. His playing time and role on defense will be subject to criticism, and Heaven forbid they don't start him, or even release him. On the flip side, the hypocritical media was overjoyed with teams not wanting Tebow. They can't stand that he is just so Christian. Ew. Here we have a man who may be of average talent, but is a great man on and off the field, who has gone on countless trips to help the unfortunate, yet is hated because he believes in something. These same people who hate him, love and worship Sam, just because he likes dudes.
Why do we have to keep doing this? Most gay 'issues' are non-issues. It's the new version of calling someone racist. Most of the time, when someone is called racist, it is not racism. It's just a disagreement on something, and the accuser is just throwing out a bomb hoping to discredit the "racist" by declaring him as such, also making themselves a victim and winning the argument by default. Now, you can also call them a bigot.
What percentage of the U.S. population do you think are gay? 10%? Maybe even 20-30%? Half? It seems like everyone knows a bunch of people who are gay. We see them on television all the time. There are constant stories about 'pride parades' and other gay events with crowds of people. It seems like their population is quite large. Well, sorry. It isn't. According to the CDC (link to PDF on the right), the gay population stands at about 2.3%, with 96.6% identifying as 'straight,' or as the left knows them, 'bigot.' The way things are portrayed one might believe it was the other way around.
Why are we demanded to accommodate and elevate everything about this 2.3% of the population? We're told we should hate the infamous 1%. I guess we're supposed to believe that every one of those 1 percenters are evil thieves, while every one of those 2.3 percenters are amazing people. One deserves our vile hate, while the other deserves our servitude.
Progressivism is a disease. That's what this is. Progressives are the most intolerant people you will ever meet. If you don't agree with them on everything, you will offend them, and will be declared their mortal enemy. They believe every bit of the nonsense that can't be understood with logic, and you will spend your life defending yourself against the assaults they hurl against a good and decent society. There can never be a peace with them.
Well, unless you're gay. Then you're BFF's.
Violent Gang MS-13 Teens Among Illegal Immigrants Crossing Border
Mara Salvatrucha ( commonly abbreviated MS-13) are notoriously dubbed the most violent gang in the world. They are known for their cuddly cute tattoos that span all over their face and body and for killing people with firearms, machetes, and blunt objects. You are probably asking, why is this important? That's an excellent question! Among the various illegal immigrant minors crossing into the U.S, it was reported that 16 of them so far are members of the El Salvadorian street gang MS-13.
"Border Patrol Agents (BPAs) and Customs and Border Protection Officers (CBPOs), assigned to The Nogales Placement Center (NPC), discovered that 16 unaccompanied alien children (13 El Salvadoran males, two Guatelmalan males and one Honduran male) currently being held at the NPC are members of Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13). The MS-13 gang members admitted to their gang associations following a discovery of graffiti at the NPC.
Lets not overreact though, after all, these poor teens want to turn their life around and become respectable U.S citizens who work for a living, plant beautiful gardens, and eat ice cream. Or they could possibly show up in a community near you, slicing someones throat with a sharp edge of a glass window for "street cred". Either way, President Obama's temporary amnesty program seems to be working out wonderfully so far.

Hippo Seeks Vengeance For Brethren
You know, some days I just wake up and realize what a decent and wonderful world in which we live, so full of loving and amazing people. And no person is more loving and amazing than a liberal Democrat. Why, Dems all across the fruited plains are some of the best people you'll ever meet. Just so compassionate and personable.
Take Mike Dickinson for instance. Mike is a Virginia Democrat running for Congress who has now decided to wade, or rather, dive ass-first, into the issue over the hunting Texas cheerleader.
For those unfamiliar (what cave have you been in), Kendall Jones is a 19 year old Texas Tech cheerleader, who also happens to hunt big game. She's posted pictures on places like Facebook and Twitter of herself posing with animals she has hunted and killed, such as lions, hippos and such. All of it is legal, and much of it is simply the process of population control for these animals, something that's crucial. Her explanations are in this article. There's been a lot of hoopla and people whining, vulgarly insulting her, sending death threats, and petitioning Facebook to take down her photos. You know, the normal things thoughtless, hate-filled mobs do.
Whatever you think of the girl is irrelevant here, as she is not the topic. Our boy Mike is. Or rather, Democrats and liberals in general. You see, Mike decided it was in the best interest of his perverted campaign to post things like this to Twitter:
100k to anyone w nude photos or sex videos of scumbag #KendallJones she hunts animals for fun let's hunt her for fun pic.twitter.com/07Fy8vfltx
— DickinsonForCongress (@VoteMike2014) July 10, 2014
That just happened to the the ONE I picked. His Twitter feed for the last day or so is full of nasty stuff directed toward her and people criticizing him. If he wants to criticize the girl, why can't he do it like an adult? Why does he have to resort to middle school type crap? Oh wait, attention. Right. Virginia, do you want someone like this representing you? I hope not.
Of course, this isn't the first idiotic thing the guy has said or done. Here's a great interview Greta Van Susteren did with the guy that shows how big of an idiot and weasel he is. I know, it's evil Faux News. They are Republicans! They lie! They hate babies! Take off your blinders for a second and read the article, or just watch the interview.
Now, when a Republican says something less than ideal, or downright stupid, the media simply can't wait to dive in and start trying to connect them to the Tea Party and all conservatives. In fact, any time anyone does or says something bad, and if their politics are not already well-known, the effort is made to paint them as a far-right wacko. And make no mistake, everyone on the right is a far-right wacko. We're all bigoted racists, we all hate poor people, the sick and elderly, children, and WOMEN!
Why isn't this guy being called a sexual predator? Why aren't feminists and liberals, who supposedly love women so much, trying to protect this young girl from this obviously depraved and sex-obsessed pervert? No, this guy will be largely ignored by Democrats and the media. They'll pretend he didn't say anything sexist or hateful to women, or will even cheer him, because he's a liberal. They can say what they want because they're on the proper side. And unless you're a conservative, you probably won't care about this, either. Conservative women don't deserve your, or anyone's respect.
But let a conservative think Sandra Fluke spends too much on birth control, and booooy they must hate women! We have to get the word out that conservatives hate women!
Let the liberal war on women continue, I guess.
U.S Military Bans Bibles, Forces Soldiers To Observe Ramadan
Hi, my name is hypocrisy. Actually it's not, but what the U.S Military is doing could be the very definition. Back in March, a military base in Alabama stopped a decade tradition of Gideon Christian volunteers giving new recruits 'The Holy Bible' saying it violated the the church and state rule. Does this make sense? Absolutely. Although technically a soldier could opt to not take the Bible, so it's not really being forced. However, I agree with the notion that no one should have religion forced upon them. Lets fast forward to today:
U.S. personnel accustomed to drinking their coffee on the drive to work will have to put that habit on hold for about a month. It's one of a few lifestyle changes Americans will have to make during the holy month of Ramadan.
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. Officials expect Ramadan to begin at sunrise on Saturday, depending on when the new moon is sighted. The holy month lasts for approximately 30 days — until about July 28. For Muslims around the world, Ramadan is a month of fasting and devotion to God. Most Muslims fast from dawn to sunset, when families gather for Iftar — the meal that breaks the fast.
For the 8,200 U.S. personnel living here, and those serving throughout the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility — including servicemembers, civilian personnel, contractors and family members — the month may require changing some daily routines.
Businesses and government offices will reduce hours and most restaurants will be closed during daylight hours.
While not required to fast during Ramadan, in Bahrain, Americans can be fined or detained by local authorities for eating, drinking or smoking in public when off-base during daylight hours.
Navy officials are requiring U.S. personnel to dress more conservatively off-base during Ramadan. Although not a requirement by Bahraini authorities, the Navy is demanding that men wear long-sleeved shirts and women wear sleeved blouses that cover their elbows. Also, men must wear long trousers, and women should wear pants or skirts that cover the knees.
So it's question time. If giving the Bible to soldiers goes against church and state, why is it 'OK' to force soldiers, Military personnel, and businesses to observe a religious holiday such as Ramadan? I get why the military is doing this though, we don't want to offend Muslims. Great idea! So will Muslim soldiers be observing Christian holidays as well? Crickets..
Political Correctness is Destroying the U.S
"Political correctness to me is just intellectual terrorism. I find that really scary, and I won't be intimidated into changing my mind. Everyone isn't going to love you all the time." -Mel Gibson
You know what offends me? Political Correctness. Ok, so maybe Mel Gibson isn't the best person to listen to, but what he says in the above quote still rings true. Political correctness in much recent years has become a huge issue and one that in my opinion will eventually destroy the U.S. Freedom of speech and expression seems to be slowly going away causing increased hatred, not tolerance. Everyone is offended by anyone and everything. People are scared to do or say something these days because they fear being singled out and/or penalized.
With the emergence of social media websites like Facebook and Twitter, Political Correctness has put a choke hold on people who post something that others would deem offensive. Don't get me wrong, being stupid and having the right to be stupid are two different things. Do I have sympathy for someone when they get fired by their employer for posting on twitter that they hate gay Asian midgets who drive Honda Civics? No. But do I think people have a right to be stupid? Yes. But it doesn't even have to be a questionable hateful tweet, people are being restricted over common patriotism.
Recently in the news Duy Tran, a Vietnamese American living in Webster, Texas, moved into an apartment complex and hung the American flag over his outside balcony. His landlord, wait for it, told him he couldn't display the American Flag because it was offensive to Muslims. Seriously?
"What really stunned me is that she said it's a threat towards the Muslim community," said Tran. "I'm not a threat toward anybody. I'm gonna leave my flag there, as an American, until she shows me proof that I don't have the right to leave my flag there." "I have friends that died for this country"
What it does it say to us as a country when we can't even hang the American flag out in public? Should we be ashamed of of our country or where we live? Is this not absurd? Liberals will say I'm not being sensitive to others and their feelings. Maybe they are right, but maybe others shouldn't be so thin skinned and sensitive to begin with. While I agree we shouldn't aim to offend other people for the sake of being able to do it, it's common sense that it's bound to happen and we shouldn't be restricted or penalized for it. Of course another recent example would be the U.S Patent Office taking away the Washington Redskins trademark because it offends American Indians. Doesn't the Govt. have bigger issues right now than to worry about NFL teams trademarks?

Are You Fit at 40?
A baseline eye exam is recommended at age 40, when the signs of disease and changes in vision may start to occur.
Changes in infants' eye contact could provide the first sign of autism, according to a new study published in the scientific journal Nature. Researchers used eye tracking to study children from birth through age 3. They found that those eventually diagnosed with autism had shown changes in eye contact between 2 and 6 months of age.
Usually babies pay increasing attention to other people's eyes as they get older. However, the study found that babies later diagnosed with autism showed less eye contact as they developed. Researchers at the Marcus Autism Center compared a group of children with low autism risk to those with high risk.
In the center's press release, the researchers stressed that "what they observed would not be visible to the naked eye, but requires specialized technology and repeated measurements of a child's development over the course of months."
What does this mean?
Scientists routinely evaluate a study's merits partly based on the number of people studied. Larger studies are usually better. In this case, only 110 children were followed, but The New York Times said other experts are lauding the study's "careful and repeated measurements."
Other researchers will now need to do further research building on the Nature study.
What can parents do?
There are no specific recommendations for parents at this point, in response to these new findings. However, the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus recommend regular screenings for children, beginning at birth to identify any eye health concerns as early as possible.

'Music and fairyland go hand in hand' writes my Undercover Soundtrack guest this week. After cueing up her playlist I can assure you this fairyland is not just rich and strange, but funky, cheeky, cheesy, sassy, riotous, ridiculous and whimsical. It's hardly surprising then that her novels and poetry have been nominated for numerous awards, including the Mythopoeic, the Lambda, the Hugo, Locus, World Fantasy, and Nebula. Deeply fond of writing to music, she's also closed the musical circle by inspiring three albums by singer/songwriter S.J. Tucker. She is Catherynne M Valente, and she's over on the Red Blog talking about The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland In A Ship Of Her Own Making.

WESTVILLE — Pictou County will have to wait a little longer for its long-awaited governance study.
"We're talking weeks," Mark Furey said Tuesday.
The municipal affairs minister had spent the day meeting with Pictou County's six municipal councils.
Last week, some council members had expressed hope that Furey would announce during his visit that the $300,000 study into the plausibility and benefits of either amalgamating the municipalities or sharing more services was proceeding.
The study has been a football — first with the councils and then with the provincial government — for over two years.
Last fall, the councils of New Glasgow, Pictou, Westville, Stellarton, Trenton and the Municipality of Pictou County agreed to each pay $25,000 toward the study, with the province handling the remaining $150,000. It sent its terms of reference to the previous NDP minister of municipal affairs.
Furey said that what he heard in talking with the councils "lacked consistency" with what he had seen in the terms of reference.
When asked if he'd consider forcing amalgamation on the municipalities, which each face different economic fortunes, he was categorical in his response.
"I'm not forcing amalgamation on anyone. I will support the municipalities in determining their futures as they see fit."
Despite the further delay, the mayors of Pictou, Westville and New Glasgow all spoke highly of their discussions with the minister.
But the pressure remains.
"Realistically, we're talking three to five years," said Pictou Mayor Joe Hawes of how long his town could keep above water on its current economic course.
"I'm saying amalgamation. The status quo is not an option."
Eighty five per cent of Pictou's $5-million annual budget comes from residential taxes paid by its 3,400 residents. That tax rate is set at $1.86 per $100 of assessed value. About 8.6 per cent of the town's budget goes toward debt servicing payments. That percentage will go up over the coming years due to needed infrastructure investments, the mayor warned.
Westville is also in a hard way. Its tax rate stands at $2.08 per $100 of assessed value. It has very little commercial tax income and, despite one of the highest residential rates in the province, is running a deficit as the 2013-14 budget year winds to a close.
"We're above water," Mayor Roger MacKay said after meeting with Furey. "We haven't sunk yet."
As for amalgamation, he's for it.
New Glasgow has a residential tax rate of $1.82 per $100 in assessment and a debt-servicing ratio of 5.3 per cent.
The town has shown less zeal for outright amalgamation but hasn't been waiting on the study to begin sharing services with its neighbours. It shares land-use planning, building inspection, information technology and business development services with various neighbouring municipalities.
It has worked out a deal with the County of Pictou for shared investment in waste-water separation infrastructure.
"We're on solid footing," Mayor Barrie MacMillan said Tuesday.
As for his council's meeting with the minister, he called it productive and said the town would soon be receiving timelines on provincial investment in the Aberdeen Hospital in New Glasgow.

But Howard has displayed some bizarre behavior over the past year, culminating with his pulling a Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf and dissing of the national anthem (all while wearing a "Melo" Ravens jersey that looks like something you'd buy in East LA). Adding the national anthem debacle to Howard's admission of "occasionally" smoking pot and throwing himself a birthday party after a playoff loss while the series was still going on, and he's starting to Carmelo Anthony look smart.
Regardless of why Howard is undergoing a personal implosion, its great news for Nuggets fans. I think we can all agree that the top six Western Conference playoff teams from 2008 - the Lakers, Hornets, Spurs, Jazz, Rockets and Suns - will all be back in the postseason in 2009. This leaves the seventh and eighth seeds to be fought over by the Nuggets, Trailblazers, Clippers, Warriors and Howard's Mavericks.
A lot of Denver Stiffs readers have written in assuming the Mavericks will be appearing in their ninth consecutive postseason (quite a feat when you consider that that franchise missed 10 consecutive postseasons prior...I give Mavericks owner and my Palms Hotel pool mate Mark Cuban all the credit), but I'm not so sure. Jason Kidd's aging process appears to have accelerated. The depth that they've been known for in past seasons has evaporated. And what's worse, the Mavericks have gotten older and much more expensive (third highest payroll in the NBA), but certainly not any better. I feel bad for their new coach Rick Carlisle already. Well, not that bad. In other words, its looking like there will be a season long, five team battle for those last two playoff spots.
Speaking of Mark Cuban, I bumped into Cuban at the pool of the Las Vegas Palms Hotel and Casino in 2002, about a week or so after Kiki Vandeweghe had traded Raef LaFrentz, Nick Van Exel, Tariq Abdul-Wahad and Avery Johnson to Dallas for Juwan Howard, Tim Hardaway, Donnell Harvey and a late first round draft pick. Cuban was just hanging out in the pool all alone, so I swam over to him, introduced myself as a big Nuggets fan and asked him how he felt about Kiki trading half our team, essentially guaranteeing the Mavericks a division title for years to come, while the Nuggets were undergoing an extreme makeover for the fourth time in 10 years. (We may look back at Raef and Nick as Stiffs, but Raef was averaging 15 points, seven rebounds and three blocks per game, and Nick was putting up 21 points and eight assists per outing. In their season-and-a-half in Dallas, Raef and Nick contributed to teams that won 57 and 62 games).
Cuban - having been Kiki's employer in Dallas for a few years beforehand - told me that "Kiki knows exactly what he's doing, and you guys will be back in the playoffs in two years." Looking at a roster with an injured Antonio McDyess plus Juwan Howard, Voshon Lenad, George McCloud, Calbert Cheaney, Ryan Bowen and so on, I didn't believe Cuban at all. But his vision proved to be prophetic as the Nuggets were indeed back in the NBA Playoffs in 2004 and the future looked bright.
Four years later, the Nuggets future is much murkier. But I'd rather have the Nuggets roster right now than the Mavericks', something I haven't been able to say since the dawn of the millennium.

Iran being pushed into recession
The Iranian government has started consolidating public spending to offset a fall in revenues.
December 11, 2012 9:20 by Reuters
Sanctions imposed on Iran over its nuclear programme have pushed the country into recession, a global association of financial services said on Monday.
Crude oil exports have dropped sharply, the Iranian rial has plummeted and inflation has soared in 2012, the Washington-based Institute for International Finance said in its report on the Middle East and North Africa.
GDP in 2012 is expected to shrink by 3.5 percent, from 1.2 percent positive growth in 2011, it added.
Iran is refining uranium to a fissile concentration that Western experts say is a relatively short technical step from the level that would be suitable for atomic bombs. But Tehran says its enrichment programme is solely for civilian energy purposes.
The U.S. Senate is considering a broader set of economic sanctions on Iran's energy, port, shipping and shipbuilding sectors.
During the 2012/2013 fiscal year "with crude oil prices holding at around $110 per barrel, government revenues from oil (which accounted for about half of its total revenues in previous years) could drop by at least 40 percent," it said.
The Iranian government has started consolidating public spending to offset a fall in revenues, it added.
The rial has been "steadily depreciating this year as foreign currency inflows have been garnered by the central bank for use in payment for government imports and to meet essential import needs," it said.
Inflation will average around 50 percent this year, up from 26.5 in 2011.
Iranian officials at first sought to downplay the effect of sanctions, but in recent months have acknowledged their impact on the economy, saying Iran must use the sanctions as an opportunity to wean itself off heavy dependence on oil.
Iranian parliamentarian Gholamreza Mesbahi Moghaddam, who sits on the parliamentary budget committee, said in November the state budget for the next fiscal year may assume exports of just one million barrels of oil per day, about half volumes shipped in 2011.
The economic problems have also contributed to sharper criticism of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejadby his rivals in parliament, worsening divisions within the government.
Parliament speaker Ali Larijani said last week the country was experiencing an "economic drought" this year.
The IIF report said that the economic conditions could have serious political and social implications as the country approaches mid-2013 presidential elections.
"As the economy enters a recession, the regime faces pressures from rising public unrest and discontent within Parliament," the report said.

Elisabeth Murdoch praises the BBC and her father
In contrast to her brother, who used his 2009 speech to lambast the BBC, Elisabeth Murdoch reiterated her support for the corporation and its licence fee and praised the "vision and leadership" of outgoing Director-General Mark Thompson.
Yet she cautioned that his successor, George Entwistle, must show how "efficiently" the BBC spent its money.
She also had firm praise for her father, Rupert, who she said "had the vision, the will and the sense of purpose to challenge the old world order on behalf of 'the people"'.

Symptoms Of Ovarian Cysts – Not Always Obvious
by admin on Aug.16, 2014, under Health
Unfortunately, there are not too many ovarialzyste – alle symptome associated with such affections. In most situations, they have absolutely no symptoms, so women may live with them for years or even decades. Cysts are randomly observed and diagnosed during a random gynecological control. A pelvic control may also identify the abnormal growth. With all these, there are a few cases when ovarian cysts can actually bring in plenty of issues and signs.

UP! Plus 2 3D Printer Pros & Cons
by admin on Aug.06, 2014, under Business
While most 3D printers can be taken for futuristic gadgets and innovative solutions, the truth is that some of them are more professional than others. This is why you have to check out a review or two before deciding on one. The UP! Plus 2 model is widely spread for its benefits. Aside from the technical specifications, this model stands up in the crowd through the extensive warranty, which goes up to a year. This is usually double or even triple from most other printers out there. On the other hand, you only have one printing speed, which is quite slow. All in all, it is definitely worth deciding to check this model out.
Who & What Panic Attack Sufferers Are Afraid Of
by admin on Jul.05, 2014, under Health
Once their panic attacks are complete, more and more people learn about the factors that may trigger them. Inevitably, they start avoiding specific people, activities, places or situations that can trigger panic attacks, only in the attempt to protect themselves. As a general rule of thumb, patients are more concerned about the sensations and feelings they go through, rather than the actual dangers, which are usually inexistent. On a different note, it is very important for their friends and family to be educated on the symptome bei panikattacken in order to react accordingly if such unexpected situations arise out of nowhere.
How Tonsil Stones Develop & Grow
by admin on May.18, 2014, under Health
Tonsil stones represent a mystery for the medical world. However, they believe that people who have suffered from tonsillitis are very likely to end up with stones too. This is because tonsillitis tends to stimulate the development of fibrous tissues. In the long run, the respective tissues trigger the apparition of striae. Dead skin cells, bacterias and other substances can be collected in these small crypts. On the other hand, the salt from your saliva petrifies the respective things. The experts at http://www.mandelsteine.eu agree that tonsil stones keep growing with time, especially if they are not eliminated as soon as they are identified.
Psychic readings – a different from all online services
by admin on Mar.29, 2014, under Health
There are many things that can be offered or bought online so you have from what to choose. However, the psychic reading is one of a kind. The California Psychics Review website recommends that you talk only to qualified people so that you get a quality reading.
It is clear that you need to be polite and give a good review if you liked the service. It may be difficult to trust an online service provider, but if he is professional, you do not have anything to worry. So for your own peace of mind, you can try it out and tell the others about this experience.
What are the different types of juicers available on the market?
by admin on Mar.22, 2014, under Product Reviews
There are generally three different types of juicers which make use of different techniques and principles in order to provide the best type of juicing mechanism. The first type is the centrifugal juicer that makes use of sieves and blades in order to pulp and juice the contents. This is the fastest method of juicing but remains inefficient when juicing vegetables. The masticating juicer also employs a similar technique in extracting juice from its contents, but offer higher nutritional values. Lastly, the triturating juicers makes use of inward rotating parallel gears to extract the maximum juice content of fruits and vegetables. You can go through the different reviews and offers to find the best juicer suitable for you.
Discover New Travel Deals On Facebook
by admin on Mar.19, 2014, under Holidays
For a lot of people, finding an afbudsresjer @ Facebook is all about spotting some new destinations or perhaps discovering some good deals for early bookings. However, most people have no clue that a lot of travel agencies tend to reward their fans and followers with a lot of special deals that may not necessarily be found in their offices. Generally, such offers come as coupon codes or discounts. At the same time, some agencies have their own applications, so you might have to participate in surveys or contests in order to win the respective discounts. Therefore, never ignore such possibilities.
Benefits Of A Few Reviews Before Buying A Steam Cleaner
by admin on Jan.24, 2014, under Product Reviews
The Steam Insider review on the Hoover TwinTank might be your perfect source of information when interested in buying such a product. A review is supposed to give you both the good and bad parts. On the other hand, a manufacturer will never include the cons in a product description. Moreover, detailed reviews come from people who have actually used the gadget. They know how easy or hard it is to operate, but they can also give you some hints regarding the quality standards. As if all these were not enough, there are a series of considerations that you may not be aware of.
Inspecting Ray Ban Retail Boxes To Prevent Buying Fakes
by admin on Aug.23, 2014, under Life Style
When interested in Wayfarer 2140 model sunglasses, the retail box may often make the difference. Keep in mind that the manufacturer uses branded boxes only. Therefore, you have to look for the colors, a high quality logo design and a popular print. It might be a good idea to become familiar with the fonts and colors used by Ray Ban before you even start to look for glasses. But then, genuine retail boxes may also hide fake products. Therefore, this is only the first step in ensuring that you buy authentic sunglasses. Your research must go way further than that.
How To Select A Maternity Photographer
by admin on Aug.22, 2014, under Photographer
Just like for any other type of photography, maternity photography asks for a professional, as well as some research from your side. From this point of view, the first and most important step implies checking out a photographer's portfolio. It is highly recommended to look for someone who is actually experienced with such photos. Just because they have good wedding or landscape pictures, it does not mean that they are great in maternity photography. Analyze more portfolios, narrow your selections according to your preferences and count the costs too. With these thoughts in mind, the expert at http://jenpan.photography/ represents an excellent option.
How To Decide On The Right Walk-Through Metal Detector
by admin on Aug.19, 2014, under Business
When looking for a walk-through metal detector for your security company, it might be a good idea to invest in a portable unit. Practically, you need to move it within minutes only. This is the smartest way to keep your company at the highest standards. You can take the detector to public institutions, conferences, political meetings, courthouse trials, school ceremonies and other similar events. Moreover, it might be a good idea to get a unit from pti-world.com/walk-through-detector that works both indoors and outdoors. With these two considerations in mind, you can successfully ensure protection for pretty much any type of event.
The Ideal Lights For Your Bedroom
by admin on Aug.19, 2014, under Life Style
The ceiling lights for bedroom give you plenty of options and solutions, depending on the actual theme or decor. From this point of view, keep in mind that anything can work inside the bedroom, as long as it makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. You can even come up with a small chandelier, only to avoid overcrowding the room. At the same time, light spots are just as handy. In any of these situations, make sure that the light intensity can actually be controlled. Do not forget about the classic reading lamps either. They need to come close to the bed.
Three Main Requirements For HIPAA Hosting Plans
by admin on Aug.19, 2014, under Web hosting
There are three main requirements coming with the HIPAA. Confidentiality is the most important one, yet it was a main necessity long before medical records became digital too. On the other hand, integrity is not to be ignored either, since the medical information must be perfectly accurate. Finally, the availability is related to the downtime. Therefore, you need a maximum downtime in order to benefit from medical information when needed. Fortunately, there are a few hosting plans that respect these standards. From this point of view, www.hostedappliance.net/Hosted-Solutions/HIPAA-Compliance-Hosting represents an excellent source of information and packages. All plans respect the HIPAA requirements.
Protecting Your Company Against Unexpected Breakdowns
by admin on Aug.18, 2014, under Insurance
Finding the best Texas insurance agency is one thing, but identifying the most appropriate coverage policy for your needs is even more important. From this point of view, it might be a good idea to protect yourself against risks of equipment breakdown, especially if your business requires a lot of expensive equipments and machines in order to operate. The respective insurance will pay the costs to repair or even replace equipments that break down out of nowhere. Such things do happen, while sophisticated equipments can cost a fortune. This is why a small monthly or yearly premium is so highly recommended.
Reviews – Your Best Friends When Looking For A Recumbent Bike
by admin on Aug.15, 2014, under Product Reviews
Finding a good recumbent exercise bike is definitely challenging with so many manufacturers in there, not to mention about their diversified models and features. While a few recommendations represent a good starting point, keep in mind that what works for some people will not really work for you too. Therefore, a model that works for your best friend can be completely useless for you. Instead, it might be a good idea to just conduct your own research. Take your time, check out http://exercisebikeguru.com and go through all those detailed reviews at least twice. Narrow your selections according to your necessities too.
How "Safe" Xarelto Can Be
by admin on Aug.12, 2014, under Health
Over the past couple of years, Xarelto has become a front running blood thinner. It is said to be safer than other alternatives, but also more convenient. Unfortunately, the Xarelto internal bleeding is often ignored. While such severe reactions are said to be rare, the truth is that they are actually very common. They affect more than half of the patients. The fatalities are very high as well. In 2013, independent research laboratories from Germany have revealed the fact that the amount of deaths caused by Xarelto have rose over the past few years. Therefore, plenty of people sue the manufacturer.
Inconel 601 – Nickel, Chromium & Iron
by admin on Aug.12, 2014, under Business
In a world that is constantly looking for innovation, it looks like alloys represent the most common solutions, whether it comes to extra durability, resistance or strength. From this point of view, Inconel 601 makes a great option for the petrochemical industry due to the alloy composition and its properties. Inconel 601 is advertised to be a nickel based alloy. With all these, it is practically a cocktail of three major elements. Aside from nickel, iron and chromium are available in very high proportions too. The other elements used in the construction are irrelevant and not so influential for its properties.

I'm occasionally asked whether it's ever appropriate to "freeze a reporter out," or refuse to speak to him again. Whenever I hear that, I immediately think of a scene out of The Godfather or Fatal Attraction, complete with horse's head and boiled bunny. I imagine frustrated interviewees suddenly appearing as caped crusaders, exacting their revenge on unfair journalists by "rubbing them out."
The Public Relations Society of America chooses September as the month to remind its members of the importance of ethical thought and behavior. Other communication organizations, including the International Association of Business Communicators and the International Public Relations Association for example, also emphasize ethical practice in their membership information.
That three word phrase continues to ring in my head from the moment my dad said to me years ago before basketball practice or baseball workshops. He wanted me to go and learn everything I possibly could. "Be a sponge and soak up everything they tell you." Of course, my dad was talking to me about sports, but I feel like that mentality is what got me to where I am today and continues to help me grow in my professional career.
I've done hundreds of radio interviews throughout my career. They seem simple. After all, you just pick up a phone or visit a studio and have a conversation with the host. But radio interviews are nothing like normal conversations (unless your friends take listener phone calls and toss to a commercial break every few minutes!).
Four years ago, Angela Hernandez asked me to contribute to a blog interview series called, "Is PR Right for Me?" Little did we know at the time that my answers to Angela's questions would spark a special chain of events … a DM between Valerie Simon and myself that emerged into a wonderful friendship, as well as the birth of our dynamic PR community, #PRStudChat.
I spent the last week in Rhode Island vacationing with my family. One of my favorite vacation activities was reading on the beach. My book of choice was Digital Marketing Analytics: Making Sense of Consumer Data in a Digital World by Chuck Hemann and Ken Burbary. After finishing the book, I'm happy to report it was a great read.
On July 16th, I had the honor of speaking at the Council of PR Firm's InternFest 2013. …
I've had easily a half-dozen or more one-on-one conversations this summer with students – current and former – from Curry College, where I teach PR full-time in our undergraduate Communication Department, and Regis College, where I teach part-time in the graduate Organizational and Professional Communications program.
