"I decided to go with this design for my Hollywood glitz and glam theme wedding. Everyone loved the invitation and it did just what I wanted it to do. I personalized it with white feathers and sparkly ribbon."
"This invitation turned out exactly like the sample that I designed. I was concerned because this was the first time I ordered invitations on the net. If I had more time I would have placed a picture on the back of the invitation. I had to alter almost everything in print to fit my situation. This was easy and painless. The script I ordered was pretty and easy to follow. The paper quality was durable and the flower design was distinctive. I order it in lilac. Friends have remarked that the invitation was beautiful."
"First off, it took us months to finally decide on the look we wanted for our wedding invitations. From the beginning, I'd already settled on Weddingpaperdivas though.. Their selection is simply amazing!! And the price?!? Nice!! I spent about a week going back and forth with the designers at weddingpaperdivas until my card was just right! They were so patient and fast!! I got the exact color, helpful suggestions, reassurance and most of all ,the cards came back looking fabulous. We've gotten nothing but compliments on these. I was so hesitant ordering my invites without holding a sample of the final product in my hand but again, my designers reassured me it would be great. When I opened the box I was wowed!!! They came out even better than I could have imagined. Thank you weddingpaperdivas!! These invitations actually reignited my excitement for this most special day."
"Loved the clean design and was impressed with the color choices and the ability to personalize most of the text. This option allowed us to get away from the formal language and make a statement about the experience we would like to have with our guests. We personalized with a photo on the back and I know our families will keep these. I did print on the double thick paper which gives it more of a presence. The colors are bright and the design is printed clean and sharp. I can't wait to get this design for the rest of our wedding goods!"
"I was able to personalize this exactly how I wanted. The designer was able to make my edits in one round. They came out perfect, I am so glad I chose these."

GRAND PRAIRIE – Starting Sept. 1, 2013, texting and driving in Grand Prairie will be illegal and can result in a fine up to $200. The Grand Prairie City Council passed an ordinance so declaring at the Aug. 20, 2013, City Council meeting. No text is worth the risk. It can wait.
"When the state did not pass such a law in the last session, we felt it important for the safety of our streets and drivers to move forward with such a law in Grand Prairie," said Chief of Police Steve Dye.
"The school district is totally behind this new law, especially after two of our school buses were hit by drivers who were texting," said Grand Prairie Independent School District Superintendent Dr. Susan Hull.
The city and school district are installing warning signage at the exits to all parking lots at the four high schools in town this week.
According to the ordinance, a person commits an offense if the person:
Exceptions include:
An offense under this ordinance is not a moving violation and may not be made part of a person's driving record or insurance record.
While texting and driving may seem innocent to many, the statistics prove otherwise:
The Grand Prairie Police Department and Grand Prairie Independent School District, along with the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), cell phone providers and insurance companies, are united in the battle against texting while driving. This avoidable driving distraction causes injuries, deaths and untold amounts of property damage each year. Texting and driving is not only against the law, but it hurts us all!

In 1583 John Whitgift, the new Archbishop of Canterbury, introduced a document known as the Three Articles. This was an attempt to bring into line nonconformists who were unwilling to follow the Elizabethan Church. Whitgift had gained a reputation as a man who had no love of the Puritans even before his appointment by Elizabeth. He used his Three Articles in an attack on the Puritans essentially trapping them by their answers. If they agreed to all three, they would be tied to the Church. If they disagreed with just one of the Three Articles, they were deprived of their living. To give an added clout to his work, the Court of High Commission adjudicated on any answers given. The Three Articles read as follows:
That none be permitted to preach, read, catechise, minister the sacraments, or to execute any other ecclesiastical function unless he consent and subscribes to the Articles following:
Lord Burghley saw the Three Articles as tantamount to entrapment and he wrote to Whitgift in an effort to get the Archbishop to tone them down. Burghley was also critical of the work of the Court of High Commission comparing it to the way that the Spanish Inquisition worked.
I think the inquisitors of Spain use not so many questions to comprehends and trap their preys .this kind of proceeding is too much savouring of the Roman inquisition.
Burghley wanted Whitgift to hunt out the most notorious offenders but saw little value in questioning everyone thought to be a nonconformist. Whitgift made some changes to the wording of the Three Articles but it was only minimal and he continued his successful campaign against the Puritans armed with the articles and the full support of Elizabeth I.

Comments about WTB Vigo Team Carbon Saddle 2012:
I usually prefer softer seats even for longer rides. I had a MTB Volt which I felt like a brick. I thought this one would be much more comfortable. It's not. Although it's much higher, it's no softer than the Volt, just a little more contact area. Seats are very hard to review. Every person adapts to a totally different seat. I noticed also that it's a little more slippery on contact. Probably because of the leather finishing. didn't like that too. but it's not too bad, I will keep it and try for some time.
But if I tried before buying I'd probably go for a different model.

Comments about WTB Vigo Team Carbon Saddle 2012:
Bought this for a mtn bike I'm upgrading for my 18 yr old son. Wanted a higher end seat that he would enjoy. This one looked good and the previous review said it was comfortable . . .
My son said it was like riding a board. I swapped him my seat which came on my Scott Scale 30 and he much preferred that one.
That being said, with good cycling shorts or bibs on, the seat is comfortable enough for me. Hopefully it will break in over the next year.

UKZN ended CUT's unbeaten run with a 39-38 victory in Bloemfontein while Fort Hare picked up their first triumph in round five of the Varsity Shield on Monday.
CUT became tournament favourites after they won their first three matches against Fort Hare, UWC and Wits in the opening rounds. However, they suffered their first defeat at home against UKZN as wing Jaco Potgieter slotted a last-minute penalty to clinch the tight affair for the visitors.
After trailing 27-17 at the break, CUT produced a strong second half showing to lead 38-36 in the dying moments of the match as wing Alec Mahlanga scored a late try. However, Pretorius, who scored most of Impis' points, kicked the deciding three-pointer.
In Alice, Fort Hare secured their first victory of the competition with a 18-17 win over UWC.
The hosts fought back from a 12-6 half-time deficit as centre Thabo Raytana and hooker Vuyisani Mavuso scored tries in the second stanza. UWC scored more tries than the hosts, but flyhalf Charl van Hollenvollen couldn't add the extras which proved costly for the visitors.
CUT 38(17) - Tries: Jean Cook, Leon Pretorius, Nhlanganiso Sibanda, Alec Mhlanga. Conversions: Jannie Myburgh (3). Penalties: Myburgh (4).
UKZN 39(27) – Tries: Zander Engelbrecht, Kurt Schonert, Jaco Potgieter. Conversions: Potgieter (3). Penalties: Potgieter (6).

MERIDIAN-- Police are looking for answers after a piece of lumber crashed through a driver's windshield, seriously injuring the man as he was traveling on Interstate 84 Wednesday morning.
The accident happened shortly before 7:57 a.m. between the Ten Mile and Meridian Road exits in the eastbound lanes.
Authorities say the flying board may have come loose from a truck traveling in either the westbound or eastbound lanes.
The man received serious injuries in the accident, according to Idaho State Police Sergeant John Burke.
We need the public's help, Burke said. If there's anyone that witnessed a board hitting a pickup, or saw a truck losing boards, we'd like them to contact us.
It's not clear if the man crashed his pickup after the board struck his windshield, or if he simply stopped on the freeway because of his injuries.
Ada County traffic cameras showed a large hole in the windshield at head-level on the driver's side of the pickup.
Burke says an ISPtrooper was en route to a local hospital to interview the driver and try to get more information.
If you have any information on the accident, you're asked to call the IdahoState Police dispatch line at 208-846-7500.

SIMON BORCHARDT talks to Robert Gumede about investing in the Lions, transformation, and the players he'd like to bring to Joburg.
Why did you decide to invest in rugby?
I followed the Bulls' Super 14 matches at Orlando Stadium while I was in France last year, and was amazed to see how white supporters were embraced by the black people of Soweto. The last time whites had been in the township they were in Casspirs and now they were drinking in shebeens! It invoked the spirit of Mandela and I decided it should not be a one-off.
Why the Lions?
If I was only concerned about the business side of things – in other words, making as much money as possible – I would have invested in a strong team like the Bulls, Western Province or Sharks. But as an entrepreneur, the Lions appealed to me because they are the sleeping giants of South African rugby. They haven't won a major trophy since 1999 and lost all 13 of their matches in last year's Super 14, but that didn't matter to me. In fact, I approached the union [about an investment deal] after the Lions had lost 32-0 to WP in the Currie Cup.
Are you a rugby fan?
Yes. I was one of the few blacks who attended the 1995 World Cup final at Ellis Park, and I watched all of the Boks' matches at the 2007 World Cup. My son, Simphiwe, played for the St John's College 1st XV and he's a big Lions fan who's very knowledgeable about the game.
You and another local businessman, Ivor Ichikowitz, have a 49.9% stake in the Golden Lions Rugby Union. How much power does that give you?
It doesn't matter whether you own 1% or 49.9% as long as you put things on the table that make business sense. The board will make decisions that benefit the business.
Should private investors be allowed to own more than 49.9% of a provincial rugby union?
I'm not going to answer that with a straight yes or no. What I will say is that until we have professional teams that are partly or wholly owned by businessmen, we will continue to lose players to European clubs.
Did you approach Ivor to get involved with the Lions?
No, he invited himself. When he heard about my vision for the union, he wanted to be a part of it. We were already childhood friends and business partners, so it made sense for us to get involved together with the Lions.
How much money have you two invested?
That's confidential. But what I will say is that we have only used our credit cards so far. Wait until we start using our cheque books.
What role did you play in the MTN sponsorship deal [believed to be worth R20 million a year for three years]?
I spoke to MTN before I approached the Lions and sold them my vision. MTN understands sport and brand building, and is the perfect partner for the Lions.
What do you want to achieve with the Lions?
We want the team to start winning again, which will generate money that can be pumped into the amateur side of the game. We want to attract world-class players to the union while developing the young talent we have. I am a businessman and I want the Lions to be run as a business – a successful operation will help us to retain and attract players, black and white.
Will you be one of those owners who gets involved in team issues, like selection?
No, I won't interfere with the rugby side of things. I am a businessman who has hundreds of managers running my businesses, and I support them. Why would I do things differently now? The Lions have one of the best coaches in the world [John Mitchell] and we have to entrust him with the responsibility of running the team according to the mandate we've given him. It's up to the coach to identify the players he needs, and once we know who they are, we will go out and buy them. John understands that we want to transform the game without lowering standards, and that black players must be selected on merit.
You've spoken a lot about transformation recently. What do you hope to achieve?
People think of soccer as a black game, yet nine PSL [Premier Soccer League] clubs are owned by whites, the CEO of the PSL is white and most of the executive committee is white. The point I'm trying to make is that soccer has moved on and colour doesn't matter anymore; it's a game for blacks and whites. Rugby is still seen as a white game and I'd like to help change that. I want us to get young black kids who would normally only be interested in soccer, to be attracted to the beautiful game of rugby.
How do you plan to produce more homegrown players at the Lions?
We've hired [former Bulls junior coach] Nico Serfontein to run a proper business-managed Lions academy. We aim to develop rugby in black and white schools and ensure that players are not lost in the system. Soweto primary schools should be playing in schools leagues and we need to make that happen.
How important will Soweto Rugby Club be in terms of producing black players for the Lions?
Very important, but our mandate is to develop rugby in the entire Lions region. We also want to unearth talent in townships like Alexandra, Tembisa, KwaThema and Thokoza, and establish development rugby teams. But all 24 clubs in the Lions region are important to us.
Crowds for Lions matches have been dismal in recent years. How do you plan to get more bums on seats?
People support a winning team so winning matches will help, but there's more to it than that. The days of a man leaving his family at 9am, going to the pub before the game, returning to the pub after the game, and then getting home in the early hours of the morning are over. Wives don't let their husbands do that anymore. We want to attract families to Ellis Park by providing 'sport-entertainment'. Fans will be entertained before and after matches, not just for 80 minutes. The Lions must become a lifestyle brand. We want our traditional white supporters to return and we want to attract new fans, especially blacks who have not supported the sport in the past.
Why do so few black Africans attend rugby matches in South Africa?
Saru and its provincial unions have never targeted black fans, they have just paid lip service. We need to go out to black communities and teach them the rules of the game. How can you watch a rugby match if you don't know what's going on? There also aren't enough professional black rugby players in this country for black fans to look up to. Another problem is that season tickets have always been targeted at the traditional white supporter base, and that has to change.
Would you like to see the Lions move from Ellis Park to Soccer City?
If it makes business sense, why not? At the moment, fans aren't coming to Ellis Park because of the perceived crime situation and the lack of parking. Fifa said Soccer City is the best stadium in the world. Whites would feel safer attending matches there, and it would appeal to the black market, especially in Soweto. But the decision to move will ultimately be based upon business principles and what's in the best interests of the Lions' stakeholders and supporters, not emotion.
Which rugby players would you most like to bring to Joburg?
Frans Steyn [who's at Racing Métro], France's Thierry Dusautoir – who was born in the Ivory Coast – and New Zealand's Ma'a Nonu and Richard Kahui.

JON CARDINELLI writes the biggest challenge for the Springboks' defence this weekend will be one of mental as well as physical consistency.
The Boks' inability to create sufficiently, or indeed finish when they do make the odd break or surge, has been rightly scrutinised. The South African game plan has lacked balance for some time, although you could hardly say that their defensive game is perfect.
The Wallabies scored two soft tries in the previous match-up in Perth, and in the aftermath Bok coach Heyneke Meyer lamented the 'soft moments'. It's a phrase Meyer has come to use more and more as the year has progressed, having first coined it during the June Tests where the Boks were guilty of far too many defensive lapses.
The Boks will return to Loftus Versfeld this Saturday, and while it is encouraging to know that the ground is a fortress in terms of the win/loss record against the Wallabies, it is also the ground where they produced one of their most inconsistent showings in recent times.
The 2010 Test at Loftus was the only Tri-Nations game they won that season, but the defensive display was nothing short of abysmal.
Meyer's Boks have been similarly susceptible in that the defence has lapsed at key moments. They seemed on course for victory in Perth before folding in the second stanza, poor tackling and discipline at the root of their failure.
What made that result particularly difficult to stomach was that the Wallabies weren't that impressive. Indeed, injuries and a change in mindset have blunted the once formidable and feared Wallabies attack. How then do they continue to breach and punish the Bok defence?
In a statistical analysis compiled by ruckingoodstats.com, there are some similarities between the Boks and Wallabies. These stats show that the Wallabies are kicking more this season, and up on the Highveld, it is likely that the Wallabies will favour a tactical-kicking flyhalf like Berrick Barnes.
The Boks won't have to worry about the all-round brilliance of Will Genia and Quade Cooper, as both Wallabies halfbacks are out with injuries. But it is interesting to note that even when that potent pair have been available in the 2012 Test season, the Wallabies on average have kept less ball in play than the Boks.
They also averaged just 3.8 offloads per match while the Boks averaged 4.6 (the average for southern hemisphere teams this year has been 5.6). So while it's clear that both teams are struggling to get their attacking game going, the Wallabies are slightly worse off than the Boks.
The Boks (19) are slightly above the average of 18.9 for tackles broken, while the Wallabies are below par at 17.1. South Africa also edge the Australians for clean linebreaks, with 1.9 per match playing 1.4. Both teams are below average (2 per game) in terms of tries scored, and again the Wallabies' average is worse than that of the Boks.
And what of defence? The Wallabies have missed 17.3 tackles per Test in 2012, while South Africa have let 17.1 slip. Again, these are stats of struggling teams, as the southern hemisphere average is 16.2 per game.
The Boks have done well in terms of territory, averaging 57% per match. What's been plain to see is that they struggle to pick up the points once in the opponents' half, either through wayward goal-kicking or poor finishing.
The Wallabies have attempted to play a more tactical game in 2012 with very limited success. The quality of their line-kicking has come under scrutiny, and according to the stats, 9.7% of all kicks out of hand have ended in error.
This is something that the Boks must look to punish at Loftus, and perhaps this is where they can show more attacking intent through a counter-attack rather than a premeditated garryowen.
The Boks' attacking stats at the tackle are hardly surprising. They are on the wrong side of the southern hemisphere average in terms of penalties conceded while in possession, and for penalties conceded at rucks and mauls. This is something they will need to sharpen if they hope to build any sort of attacking continuity.
Where they will look to attack the Wallabies, and again this should come as no surprise, is at the scrum. The Wallabies concede on average 2.3 penalties (the southern hemisphere average is 1.7) and 1 free kick (0.8) per game at this set piece. Almost a quarter of all scrums end in the Wallabies being punished.
The Boks led 13-3 at one stage in Perth, as they were able to capitalise, albeit to a limited to degree, on the Wallabies' weaknesses and errors. However, the Boks' own shortcomings, on attack and defence, were exposed in the second half.
They will need to be mindful of this at Loftus. It's obvious that they need to start converting more of their goal-kicking opportunities, as well as rounding off their try-scoring chances. But above and beyond that, they need to show some defensive mettle in that decisive second stanza.

Israel is set to run for re-election in New York's 3rd congressional district on November 4, 2014.
Israel was part of the Huntington Town Board before his successful 2002 congressional bid.
Based on analysis of multiple outside rankings, Israel is a more moderate left of center Democratic Party vote. As a result, he may break with the Democratic Party line more than his fellow members.
Israel was born in Brooklyn, New York. He attended Nassau Community College in 1978 and Syracuse University from 1978-1979, but earned his B.A. at George Washington University in 1982.[1]
After earning his B.A., Israel served as aide to United States Representative Richard Ottinger of New York until being elected to the Huntington Town Board in New York.[2]
Israel serves as chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.[3]
Committee assignments
U.S. House
Israel doesn't currently serve on any committees:[4]
Israel did not serve on any committees due to his position as the Chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.[5]
Prior sessions
Israel has previously served on the following committees:[6]
- Appropriations Committee
- Armed Services Committee
- Financial Services Committee
- Science, Space, and Technology Committee
Campaign themes
Israel listed several campaign themes on his website:[7]
- "Israel believes that it's unfair for New York families to pay higher property taxes, energy and housing costs, and yet still get taxed at the same rate as families in other parts of the country whose cost of living is half as much as ours. That's why Steve is working pass legislation that would take the regional cost of living into account when determining a family or individual's federal income tax.
- With two daughters in school, Steve knows how hard it is for families to pay for college. That's why he introduced legislation that would create a $5,000 super-sized tax credit for families with kids in college. His plan would increase the current tax credits and make it easier for families to benefit from it.
- Newsday called Steve Israel "a ferocious fighter for Long Island and in every cause he trumpets, from green energy to improved infrastructure to job creation." Steve is leading the fight to develop a comprehensive energy plan to strengthen our national security, grow our economy and protect our environment. That's why he voted for a clean energy bill that will reduce our dependence on foreign oil and create the next generation jobs in alternative energy industries.
- Steve has also led the charge to end Big Oil subsidies and is working to hold BP America accountable for the disaster in the Gulf.
- Steve believes that for too long, insurance companies have been able to take advantage of consumers - denying coverage because of pre-existing conditions and refusing to pay claims when people need it the most. He voted to stop insurance company abuses and stabilize health care costs for families and businesses.
- Steve is a leading voice on prescription drug safety, introducing a bill that will crack down on wholesalers that sell counterfeit pharmaceuticals. He is also the co-chairman of the bipartisan House Cancer Caucus, which serves as a leading voice on cancer legislation in the House. He has introduced legislation to expand access to cancer clinical trials and a bill that would expand cancer treatment options under Medicare.
- To combat terrorism, Steve believes we must aggressively pursue terrorists where they are and use all the tools available to us, including both "hard" power and "soft" power. To bring our troops home successfully and safely from Iraq and Afghanistan depends on both smart military strategy and smart diplomatic efforts to keep terrorists from regaining ground. Steve believes it is critically important that we dismantle al Qaeda's operations in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
- Steve is a strong advocate for the importance of the U.S.-Israel relationship. Steve was appointed to the US Holocaust Memorial Council in 2012. He publicly demanded the arrest of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for incitement to genocide. He led the efforts to secure Israel's qualitative military edge by supporting critical weapons technologies. And Steve Israel hasn't shied from criticizing leaders of his own party for statements on Israel's settlement policies.
- Steve has fought to protect and improve Social Security and Medicare. He has led the charge in Congress against a Republican budget that the Wall Street Journal said would "end Medicare as we know it." Steve Israel consistently opposed efforts to privatize and Social Security. He supported legislation to close the Medicare "doughnut hole."
- He has taken on the big drug companies and supported legislation allowing the government to negotiate lower drug prices for Medicare recipients. Steve also supports common sense legislation to lower prescription costs over all by allowing safe re-importation of cheaper prescription drugs and expanding access to generics. Steve wrote widely-supported legislation that would expand cancer treatment options for Medicare patients.
- Steve believes that by asking the men and women of our Armed Forces to put their lives on the line to defend America, we have an obligation to care for them at home. That's why in Congress, Steve helped secure the biggest increase in veterans' benefits in the history of the Veterans Administration, including funds to help veterans suffering from Post- Traumatic Stress Disorder and record funding to help homeless veterans.
- Steve advocates every day for Long Island veterans to ensure they are getting the support they earned. His efforts have secured more than $5.5 million in overdue benefits for local veterans."
A Washington Post investigation in February 2012 revealed that 33 members of Congress helped direct more than $300 million in earmarks to public projects in close proximity to commercial and residential real estate owned by the lawmakers or their family members.[8] According to the report, Israel earmarked $490,000 to study a bypass road to ease congestion along a busy commercial corridor that borders the congressman's neighborhood in Dix Hills. The project has stalled and the money has yet to be spent.[9]
Specific votes
Fiscal Cliff
Israel voted for the fiscal cliff compromise bill, which made permanent most of the Bush tax cuts originally passed in 2001 and 2003 while also raising tax rates on the highest income levels. He was one of 172 Democrats that voted in favor of the bill. The bill was passed in the House by a 257/167 vote on January 1, 2013.[10]
Israel was seeking re-election in 2012. Because of redistricting, he ran for election in the redrawn 3rd district instead of the new 2nd; 3rd district representative Peter T. King switched to the new 2nd district. He was unopposed in the primary and won re-election on November 6, 2012.[11]

Proper leather repair
Editor's Note: This article is included in the May 2007 issue of Professional Carwashing & Detailing®. If you would like to submit an article or topic idea for the Management Tip of the Week, please e-mail Editor Kate Carr.
Over thirty years ago, I learned the interior repair and refinishing trade in
I spent three days in
Practicing leather and vinyl repair on a couple of pieces where it won't hurt to be destroyed is the best way to learn.
Most of the work I do is mobile, but I also own a seat repair shop. I think there are two different methods to get business: You can put a sign out and hope for the best, or you can get out there and secure business by selling your services.
When someone comes to me for advice, I make sure to give them real-world experience. I make sure to give a student a piece of material they can really practice with like an old seat from a junk car.
Allowing them to cut holes in the seat, burn and repair it yields the best results. I know that when these students get to the real world, they will be prepared and will know what to do.
Leather repair
It is important to know that leather is more expensive to repair and replace than vinyl. Its manufacturing process is highly involved. We often charge twice as much to repair leather than vinyl. My approach is to do as little as possible to the leather. If too much product is applied, it will stiffen the seat cover.
Common repairs consist of scuffs, cracks, tears, rips, holes, and worn areas. There is a procedure to follow for each repair. A scuff mark may only require sanding and painting whereas cracks require sanding and filling.
Sandpaper, 400-grit, is commonly used for these repairs. It's important to know that the more sanding you do on the cracks, the less you'll need to fill.
Think of leather like a face wearing too much makeup. Now imagine that the person wearing the makeup smiles, causing the makeup to crack. This will happen to leather as well. Putting too much product on leather will make it crack.
The more you sand out cracks and damage, the less you'll need to fill. Water-based repair products are my choice because they are more flexible. Heat-cured products are a secondary choice because they burn, not melt.
Two types of leather repair
There are two types of repair leather may undergo: cold-patch/air-dry and heat cure that can also be textured. The method of repair is based on the damage. The only time I would recommend using a heat weld repair is if there is a hole big enough to put my finger through.
To repair a hole in leather, place a patch behind the hole. Next, fill thin layers of heat cure compound over the hole. Heat cure compound can be used on either leather or vinyl.
The compound consists of a blend of vinyl resins and oils that will meld and fuse to the material with heat. It has the consistency of paste and once heated, becomes clear and solid.
Once that is heated, it will melt the surrounding vinyl to weld and fuse together. After that step is complete, the patch is textured and painted to match the surrounding material.
It is important to avoid solvent and silicone based products because they will dry out the leather.
Also avoid conditioners that claim they "clean, condition and protect." Anything that says it does it all is not a valid claim. Have one product to complete each step.
Make sure that you use adequate protection: ventilation, thin neoprene gloves and protective eyewear are just a few of the precautions to take.
Dos and don'ts
• Do use fewer repair products for leather, the less product, the better.
• Do keep it simple.
• Don't use too much product on leather.
• Don't use solvent based paint on leather because it will stiffen the surface.
• Do use a surface primer on leather (normally polyurethane product).
• Don't use solvent based primer on leather.
• Don't sell yourself short on the amount of time necessary to complete the job.
• Don't take on something that should be replaced.
• If the material is brittle and cracked, don't try to repair it.
• Don't risk your own reputation on a "just fix it for now" type of repair.
Vinyl repair
The industry refers to vinyl as vinyl coated fabric. Vinyl is made of a blend of oils and resins and is a petroleum based product. Replacement costs of vinyl have only increased based on the costs of petroleum.
Vinyl can successfully be repaired with a heat weld, heat fusion compound or heat repair process. Either a hot air gun or a hot soldering iron can be used in this process. I tend to use both: one in each hand.
Successful business is more than skin deep
A professional can get started for less than $1,500. Remember, buying a pre-existing $15,000 business does not ensure success. Packages and training may be offered but if you don't know how to secure business, failure is eminent.
Training and securing business are the most important aspects with this industry. Anyone interested in interior repair should speak with industry experts to learn the trade. Learning from a mentor will teach you the correct ways to go about things based on their success.
Paul LaMontagne is the owner of Trim Flex Vinyl Co, Portland, OR, a company that has provided interior training and repair services to shops and individuals since 1976. Paul can be reached by phone at: 888-740-0347, or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Results vs. UNC-Pembroke (2008-04-15 18:00:00)
April 15, 2008
|Falcons Fall to Braves
|Tuesday, 15 April 2008
|PEMBROKE – UNCP battled back from an early 3-0 deficit to defeat Pfeiffer 9-3 win Tuesday evening in non-conference baseball action. The win improved UNCP to and gave the Braves a series split with Pfeiffer (22-27) after dropping a 9-4 contest on February 19 in Misenheimer.
Pfeiffer used Cory Adams's suicide squeeze in the second and McGarity's two-run single in the third to take a quick 3-0 lead.
UNCP answered back with lone runs in the third and fifth innings, before Funk gave the hosts the lead with two outs in the sixth.
Locklear's three-run home run, as well as a costly throwing error, allowed the Braves to cushion their advantage out to 8-3 in the seventh, with Bentley's solo blast in the eighth providing the final margin.
Pfeiffer got a 3-for-4 outing from Zack Pou, with Kyle McGarity driving in a pair of runs on a 1-for-3 hitting line.
Amidst a bouquet of Falcon pitchers, Ethan Marsh took the loss for the visitors after allowing Funk's two-run triple and surrendering the lead in the sixth.

Eastern Alamance led 39-30 during the third quarter before visiting Eastern Guilford went on an 8-0 run at the end of the third into the fourth quarter.
With 1:07 remaining, the Wildcats pulled to within 49-48. After back-to-back missed 1-and-1s, Eastern Guilford carried the ball to half court and called timeout to draw up a play.
Wildcats senior Erica Olerich got two highly contested shots in the lane out of the timeout, but neither fell as Eagles senior India Jones pulled down the rebound to ice the game.
"They're a good dangerous team," Eastern Alamance coach Tim Krotish said. "We had a really good game over at their place and handled them easily and that worried me. I thought that was too easy. I don't want to say we kept our poise, but we kept it just enough. But it was tighter than it needed to be."
Callie Patterson led the Wildcats with 16 points and Ariel Shears tallied 15 points.
Terri Rogers led the Eagles with 15 points. Krotish announced during Senior Night ceremonies that she was the first player in the school's history to be selected to play in the North Carolina / South Carolina Classic.

"We were calm, there were just some things we needed to fix," Graham coach Melinda Goodson said. "We scored points defensively. When it isn't working in the halfcourt, we have to crank it up on 'D,' and that's what we did."
