I've gone here several times and overall have had really good beers. The beer selection is amazing, some of the best in JAX. They have a good variety of beer. I love hops and they didn't let me down. Every time I have gone, there are lots of different beers with hops. Their dark brews are pretty good too. They offer flights here which is nice if you want to try a variety of beers before ordering a pint. I like the atmosphere, it's very casual. I've never had trouble finding seating. I'm sure they can get pretty busy and tables could be hard to come by. There is no food served here but there is always a food truck in their parking lot. They have a parking lot to park your car. There is a separate water area at the end of the bar so no one has to wait for water. The service needs improvement. That's why this place is not getting full stars. The bar tenders have ignored me when it wasn't busy a few times. I've sat at the bar waiting to be helped and they just walk by me like I don't exist. When I had my credit card in hand to pay, they've walked on by without notice. Then it becomes my JOB to wave them down. Great beer, lacks friendly and helpful service.

My boyfriend is co-owner of this bar his mother (Judy) owns. Here is what I think. If you are up for shooting pool, watching TV, throwing darts, or maybe you just sit around enjoy the music, drink, and socializing this place is for you. Take note that this is more of an older generation biker bar. The perks are the drafts are a dollar all day, everyday. Judy's probably has one of the lowest prices for beer in Jacksonville. Great quality, great taste, cheaper price. There is an outside area you if you don't want to sit indoors, they serve food, shirts, hats, and the occasional nick nacks. They also throw benefits; you pay the amount requested for a ticket, you get to eat a great meal and 100% of all proceeds go to the person(s) the benefit was for. They have raffle drawlings, bike runs, and the newest feature is Movie night. Thursday nights different teams from other bars show up to compete in the dart league, and and Saturday nights are karaoke nights (no charge just enjoy yourself). 18+ are welcome, 21+ to drink. If you're looking for a good time with people in your generation, you might want to consider checking this place out.
Well im 15, and from what i've seen on the review board bourbon street has not always been a teen night club. Bourbon Street is very large with large restrooms, i've been there once and to me it was fun. First my aunt took me and my cousin and we were all nervous, l0l, but then we finally got in line and btw ( the line was extremely lonqq!!! ) and then we happened to get behind some middle school friends of ours and by the time we got inside our heart's were pounding. The music was loud the DJ was the best and the Security made sure too check people at the door ( it was no joke ) but hey these days we need Security like that these days. Okay yea. there was beef but it was nothinq over the top or anythinq like someone pulled out a weapon it was just beef! Soo if your qoinq to Bourbon Street anytime soon, i hope to see yu there peace! :) and i hope i've encouraged you and your parents to let you / and maybe some friends qo!. l0l :)

The Las Vegas Grizzlies, the semipro football team of record in the Meadow City, will host the Albuquerque Thunder this weekend.
Kickoff for the game is 2 p.m. Sunday at the Herrera Complex on the West Las Vegas campus.
The Grizzlies are 5-3 this spring and looking to return to the playoffs after making it in 2015, their inaugural season.

Albuquerque outhit New Orleans 10-7 Thursday night, but the Zephyrs got the last laugh in the top of the ninth.
Don Kelly's line drive single scored Destin Hood for the go-ahead run in a 5-4 win for the visitors in the opener of a four-game series at Isotopes Park.
The outcome spoiled another three-hit night for shortstop Rafael Ynoa. Brandon Barnes and Ben Paulsen both homered for Albuquerque.

The Las Vegas Outlaws travel football team will play for the New Mexico YAFL spring rookie championship this weekend.
The team faces Volcano Vista East — to date, the only team with a win over the Outlaws this spring — at 10:30 a.m. Saturday at Mesa del Sol football fields in Albuquerque.
"It's Round 2 and time for paybacks," said coach Carlos Perea.
The Outlaws reached the final by beating the Rio Grande Ravens 48-0 and Volcano Vista West 22-7.
Wednesday brought a rare day off for the Albuquerque Isotopes, who complete the homestand with games against the New Orleans Zephyrs through Sunday at Isotopes Park.
Remaining games of the homestand include Friday and Saturday night (first pitch 7:05 p.m.) and Sunday at 12:35 p.m.
Albuquerque (20-20) split a four-game set with Round Rock (20-18) earlier this week at The Lab.
The Topes doubled up the Express 8-4 on May 14, getting three hits from Rafael Ynoa and a three-run bomb from Ryan Casteel.
Local youngsters interested in picking up some soccer skills and tricks are invited to a free one-hour clinic at 6 p.m. this coming Wednesday at the Mountain View Drive soccer fields.

ALBUQUERQUE — A shaky start doomed the Pecos Panthers' upset bid in the Class 3A state baseball championship game with top-ranked Texico Friday at Isotopes Park.
Texico added to its trophy case after securing a 6-2 victory.
Four early errors on defense hurt Pecos.
The Wolverines scored three runs on three hits, one walk and a hit-by-pitch reach in the top of the first inning.
Texico extended its lead to 5-0 with two more hits, two errors and a hit-by-pitch reach in the second inning.

THE WAY Orpington's mail is delivered is set to change as "far fewer" letters are now posted, according to the Royal Mail.
Delivery sector manager Jon Verrall says the team is reorganising routes to be more efficient and save the public money.
He also explained that more packets and larger items are now distributed, so new equipment is going to be introduced to carry them more "securely".
Mr Verrall said: "We're introducing changes in your area now in order to maintain and protect services and to keep our prices as low as possible."
The manager added many of the alterations have been implemented elsewhere in the country and will be brought in over the next few months in Orpington.
Mr Verrall has explained what this means for residents:
- We will still be delivering throughout the morning, but also now for longer during the day.
- The time of your standard delivery will depend on where you're located on the new delivery route this may be later or possibly earlier than you are used to.
- Should mail volumes vary, I may need to adjust delivery arrangements and times.
- If we currently collect your mail from you, there should be no change to arrangements for this.

What are some recipes I can make on my electric grill?
There are many electric grill models, some for indoors and some for outdoors. The indoor models can be the type that you close on the food, so it cooks both top and bottom at the same time, or they can be open grills. The outdoor grills are open grills. The open-type grills will cook the food in the same way as the charcoal and gas grills, so you can use any of your favorite recipes on these grills and the timings should be the same. If you are using a closed grill, the timings are faster since the food cooks on the top and bottom at the same time. Here is a beef recipe idea:
Pepper-Bacon Burgers
Makes: 4 servings
1 small onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings
1 fresh Anaheim or mild green chili pepper, seeded and cut into rings
2 tablespoons margarine or butter
1 slightly beaten egg
1/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs
6 slices crisp-cooked bacon, crumbled
4 to 6 fresh serrano peppers or 2 to 3 fresh jalapeño peppers, seeded and finely chopped
2 tablespoons milk
1 pound lean ground beef
4 kaiser rolls or hamburger buns, split and toasted
4 lettuce leaves
1. Preheat indoor electric grill. In a small saucepan cook onion and Anaheim pepper in hot margarine about 5 minutes or until onion is tender.
2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl combine egg, bread crumbs, bacon, serrano peppers, and milk. Add ground beef; mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into four 3/4-inch-thick patties.
3. Place patties on the grill rack. If using a covered grill, close lid. Grill patties until meat is no longer pink. (For a covered grill, allow 5 to 7 minutes. For an uncovered grill, allow 14 to 18 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling.) Serve burgers on rolls with onion mixture and lettuce leaves.

Blog: Coors Light unseats King Bud
Chris Mercer | 11 January 2012
Coors Light has achieved its expected coup in the US by knocking Budweiser off its perch as the second biggest selling beer in the country.
SABMiller's CEO, Graham Mackay, confirmed to just-drinks last year that this was on the cards. It has now come to pass, according to Beer Marketer's Insights, which this week put Coors Light 0.5m barrels ahead of Budweiser for calendar 2011.
No doubt there will be a few celebratory beers at MillerCoors HQ. Beer Marketer's Insights estimates that Budweiser - self-styled the King of Beers - lost 4.6% of volume last year. Coors Light, meanwhile, picked up 0.8% of volume.
Not exactly stellar figures, and reflective of weak mainstream beer sales in the US. It would be understandable to compare the tussle to a boxing match on a sinking boat. Anheuser-Busch InBev's Bud Light, meanwhile, remains, ahem, light years ahead of its nearest rival.
But, there is a certain amount of symbolism and prestige at stake for MillerCoors, not to mention bragger's rights with distributors.

On Fox News, Karl Rove claims that a torture investigation of the Bush Administration would make the United States the "moral equivalent" of a Latin American dictatorship run by "colonels in mirrored sunglasses." Catch the full segment courtesy of the Young Turks:
So let's get this straight: the Bush Administration can introduce torture as a matter of formal policy, over the objection of career soldiers and intelligence officers, lie about it, and then scapegoat a handful of grunts when it is uncovered, but those who demand accountability under the law for these misdeeds are "colonels in mirrored sunglasses"?! Only in the twisted world of Karl Rove. Moreover, in Latin America the world of colonels in mirrored sunglasses is vanishing, and the new age is one in which leaders who torture are routinely subject to criminal investigation and prosecution. Ask Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori. As part of a counterterrorism campaign against Maoist guerillas, he authorized the use of torture and the "disappearings" of hundreds, and a Peruvian court just passed judgment following a full trial. The sentence: twenty-five years in prison. Peru shows how a healthy and self-confident democracy deals with serious misconduct by a head of state.
This evening I'll be participating in the following event. It's open to the public, but attendees are encouraged to RSVP.
OSI Forum: Prosecuting Heads of State
Location: The Open Society Institute, 400 West 59th Street, New York
Event Date: Thursday, April 23, 2009
Event Time: 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.
Speakers: Caitlin Reiger, Juan Méndez, Ellen L. Lutz, Scott Horton, Aryeh Neier
In 1990, an era of accountability began for former government officials and heads of state who had committed human rights violations and other abuses of power while in office. Since then, at least 69 former heads of state have been formally prosecuted for serious human rights violations or economic crimes committed during their administration.
Prosecuting Heads of State (Cambridge Univ. Press), edited by Ellen L. Lutz and Caitlin Reiger, explores the motivations, public dramas, and intrigues that accompanied efforts to bring them to justice. The book contains eight case studies of high-profile trials of former leaders in Europe and Latin America, including Augusto Pinochet, Alberto Fujimori, Slobodan Milosevic, Charles Taylor, and Saddam Hussein.
Aryeh Neier, President of the Open Society Institute, will moderate the event.

How to Choose Furniture for a Large Room
Choosing furniture for large rooms leaves many scratching their heads. Knowing how to choose the right furniture for a large room can keep your wide-open spaces from seeming cavernous.
Rooms with two-story-high ceilings or extra large floor plans need furniture that is in scale with the room's dimensions. The best choices are substantial items that have visual mass, which makes them have a bigger impression in the eyes of the beholder. Choosing large furniture pieces is always a good place to start, but you don't need to have every piece supersized.
Here are a few ways to scale up:
Trade in your low-backed sofa for a high-backed (shelter) sofa.
Make your low-backed sofa look taller by standing a continuous row of extra-large toss pillows along the inside back. Better yet, make sure the pillows have a vertical stripe.
Create a seating area using a large sectional. This can help ground the space when the room feels cavernous.
Hang a large, over-scaled picture above the sofa.
Group two rows of several smaller pictures for larger scale and dramatic impact.
Hang a collection of three or four tapestries (dressy) or quilts (country) in compatible colors and patterns in a two-story entry or stairwell.
Build your own wall unit by grouping three to five bookcases as one single, massive unit, and top your arrangement with a super big container of faux or fresh vines.
Stack smaller chests or trunks atop larger ones to build a pyramid. Patterned or textured chests and trunks trimmed with eye-catching hardware don't need any other decoration (such as a vase) on top.
Make any piece of furniture — a secretary, armoire, or china cabinet — look more important by placing it atop a simple platform built of 2-x-4s on edge, topped with 5/8-inch-thick plywood and covered to match your flooring.
Take a look at how large hotels and restaurants decorate. See how they soften these large industrial spaces into intimate spaces. Try some of their techniques in your home. Don't worry; if it looks beautiful in the lobby of a five-star hotel, chances are it will look lovely in your house as well.
How to Remove Water Stains from Wood Furniture
You don't have to panic when a steaming cup of coffee, sloshed water, or some other liquid leaves a mark on your wood furniture. Most of the time, getting the piece back to its original condition is fairly easy. The first thing you have to do is determine how deep the damage is. You can tell that by the color of the stain or water mark.
Stains and marks made by liquid or steam are usually white or light-colored. That means that they haven't penetrated much more deeply than through the waxed or polished surface. When the stain is dark, however, it indicates that the liquid has penetrated through the finish on the wood and possibly through to the wood itself. If this is the case, you have more of a fix on your hands.
Here are some ways to treat light-colored stains. Start with the first, and if it doesn't work, then try the next step:
Rub the area with an oily furniture polish, mayonnaise, or petroleum jelly.
The goal is to displace the water mark with the oil. If the stain disappears, good; skip to Step 6. If the stain is still there, try Step 2.
Put a little toothpaste on a wet cloth and rub the stain gently until the spot disappears.
Toothpaste sometimes contains a mild abrasive that will help get rid of the stain. If toothpaste does the job, skip to Step 6.
If the stain is still there, mix equal amounts of baking soda and toothpaste together to make a slightly stronger, yet still mild, abrasive and rub that mixture on the stain.
Depending on the size of the stain, 1/4 or 1/2 teaspoon of each should do the trick. Apply a little more pressure than you did in Step 2. If the stain is gone, go to Step 6; otherwise, proceed with Steps 4 and 5 for stubborn water marks.
Thoroughly clean the area.
Dip a soft cloth — an old T-shirt will do — into a mild solvent such as mineral spirits or paint thinner (odorless). Squeeze excess moisture from the cloth, and then rub gently until the stain is gone.
To make sure you won't harm the surface, pretest the solvent on a finished underside of the furniture first. If the solvent doesn't dissolve your finish, then it's safe to work on the stain itself. If it does dissolve, don't use it.
After the water mark is gone, wax your table, chest, or chair.
Use a thin layer of paste wax and a clean, soft cloth. Although paste wax takes a little more work to apply, it leaves a nicer, longer-lasting finish than a liquid or cream wax.
After the paste wax thoroughly dries — give it half an hour — buff the piece with another soft, clean cloth until you have a rich, smooth patina.
How to Pick Paint Colors
Picking paint colors can get confusing, but you don't need to hire a decorator. Use these professional tips for choosing paint colors to turn your home into a haven.
Use the color wheel.
Being familiar with the standard color wheel can help you pick the best paint and decorations for your home. Discover how primary, secondary, and tertiary colors work together.
Assess intensity and value
The brightness of a color is its intensity, such as fire engine red. Sky blue and beige are low-intensity colors. Every color has a range of values from light to dark.
Paint strips show a color, such as blue, and several hues ranging from lightest to darkest in intensity and value. The safest color selection is one of the two colors in the middle of the strip.
Know your color scheme
Color schemes fall into three categories: complementary, analogous, and neutral. Complementary schemes combine a primary and secondary color from opposite sides of the color wheel (red and green). Analogous colors are either warm (reds, oranges, and yellows) and cool (greens, blues, and violets). Neutrals are colors not included in a color wheel, such as browns, whites, and blacks.
Visualize the undertones in colors
The look of a paint color can change dramatically, depending on what's next to it. Except for red, blue, and yellow, all colors are mixed. That white wall might take on pink undertones next to a red Oriental rug.
Undertones are hard to spot until it's too late. If you take a focal piece, such as a pillow or photo, to a paint store, the clerk will be able to help you avoid these problems.
Evaluate natural and artificial light
Look at your paint chips under the kind of light in room: direct, indirect, or artificial light. Look at the paint chips against furniture and rugs. Pick your favorites and get a small jar to brush on a piece of white poster board. Tape the dried poster board to the wall and evaluate again. Assessing a larger color samples ensures that you're making the right choice.
Create a mood with color
Color affects mood and the way you perceive the ambience of a space. Cool colors are calming and warm colors energize a room. Pair a warm color with a cooler complement to create energy.
Change a room's size with color
To make a small room appear larger, paint it a pale, cool color. To make a large room feel more cozy, use warm colors or darker, more intense hues.
Consider colors in adjacent rooms
You want one room to flow naturally into the next although you don't have to use the same color. Select complementary color schemes, or vary the intensity of one hue.
Coordinate paint with furniture and flooring
Highlight a favorite painting or rug by letting it inspire your color scheme. The trick is to choose a paint color that blends with the piece instead of matching it exactly.
Play it safe with neutrals
Neutrals blend in with other colors. They are considered "safe" wall treatments. If you're selling your home, most potential buyers have an easier time visualizing their furnishings when looking at neutral walls.
Practical and Helpful Tips: Vacuums
Things to Bear in Mind When Choosing a Vacuum Cleaner
When cleaning a table or other furniture in an effective manner, it is best that you have a good table vacuum cleaner. Having to remove scraps and dusts is actually a more practical move when a good vacuum cleaner. Before you actually buy a certain type, it is best that you consider some features for it first.
Through this article, you are going to know why it is essential that you ask on the autonomy of the device before making a purchase. Most of the table vacuum cleaners operates through the use of a battery. Depending with the use, this is going to allow you in seeing the pattern which could match the tasks.
It is also important to consider the time that is needed for the battery before this could be autonomously utilized.

The Best Advice About Tools I've Ever Written
How Do Plasma Cutters Actually Work?
The unique properties of plasma that is present in the plasma cutter is the one responsible for making such object pass through ferrous materials such as metals and steels.
Prior to us continuing the discussion about plasma cutter and how it works, let us first define what plasma really is. When we say plasma, it is a term that is commonly used in reference to the fourth states of matter, aside from solid, liquid, and gas, in which so many of the electrons are wandering around freely among the nuclei of the atom. When we were young, we learned about the states of matter and we are taught that there are juts three of them namely: solid, liquid and gas but the truth is that there are actually four states of matter and the fourth one on the list of plasma. To simply put, a plasma is an ionized gas that provides sufficient amount of energy to free electrons coming from the atoms or the molecules plus, it is also the one responsible for letting both the ions and electrons to coexist. By boosting a gas to an extremely high temperature will definitely result from the creation of plasma. When the gas was boosted on to an extremely high temperature, the energy begins to break the gas molecules apart and the atoms will also begin to split as well. This process will also affect the electrons and ions as the fast moving electrons will collide with other electrons and ions causing it to release a tantamount of energy. The amazing cutting power of plasma is caused by the enormous amount of energy being released by the collision of electrons and ions.
Plasma cutters actually works by sending an electric arc through a gas which is passing through a constricted opening. You can find in the middle of the channel a negatively charged electrode. The circuit and the very powerful spark is the product of the connection that is being produced when a negatively charged electrode has been applied with power and the tip of the nozzle touched a positively charged metal. As the gas continue to pass through the channels, the spark will heat the gas until it reached the fourth state of matter which is known to us as plasma. What makes plasma more incredible is that when it reach thirty thousand degree Fahrenheit, it is capable of cutting through almost anything.
There is also another of making plasma cutter works and that is by creating a high velocity of plasma flow between the electrode that is negatively charged and the electrode that is positively charged.

Lessons Learned from Years with Devices
Guidelines in Choosing A Plasma Cutter
You have to consider a number of factors first before buying a plasma cutting tool. They would include how much is it capable of cutting, the quality of the cut, ease of use, reliability, and not to forget, the operating cost. The first thing you need to do is to know exactly what type of plasma cutting are you planning to do. You may not know it yet but there are actually some plasma cutting tools out there that you can avail that can do both with its function being a handheld and switching to mechanized cutting. There are also some systems which may include CNC interface as well as internal voltage divider which provides user a lot more options for their mechanized applications.
Once you already know exactly what type of plasma cutting that you are going to do, you may then consider how thick the material is going to be that you plan on cutting. You should consider the rule of the thumb with regards to this aspect that you should only choose a system that comes with a recommended cut capacity which also matches the material thickness you have been planning to cut.
Another very important thing that you should consider is the cut quality. If you do this, you will be guaranteed that you will not only ensure the quality of your finished piece but you are also ensuring that you can save time in the later stages of the production. Ideally, you have to make sure that you're producing a clean, smooth edge so that you won't need to worry about spending time doing secondary work. With the best plasma cutting system, you will not only have smoother, cleaner cuts, but also a much narrower cut width giving you the ability to cut with a lot more precision with less wasted metal.
You shouldn't forget considering its reliability. Plasma cutting systems are said to be the most reliable if they are manufactured in ISO standards because with ISO, they are considered to be adequately tested.
There are also plasma cutting tools that are so much easier to use compared to others available. If that's the case, then it is obvious that experienced operators get to finish the job faster and with more precision if they choose those tools that are easy to use.
If working with it involves going to some other places away from your shop, then it is very important that you consider the size as well as the weight of the tool. With engineering advancements done, you are now being offered a lightweight system without having to sacrifice power and performance.

The Ultimate Guide to Writers
An Overview of Architectural Specifications Writing Constructing an architectural design requires writing specifications, which are basically a description of the materials, products and workmanship used in the process. Such documents also contain the requirements for working on a project. The specifications work along with the drawings to express the design intent, from the conceptualization stage up to the completion of the final design. They are legal documents defining how a contract for construction should be executed. The drawings generally describe quantity, whereas the specifications are focused on quality. Specifications could be anything, from long written descriptions in the project manual to note spurts on a drawing. Specifications are often written by people who have expert knowledge of building processes, products and materials. A spec writer should also have field construction experience and a concrete understanding of the legalities surrounding construction documents. This role is performed in different ways in an architectural firm, depending on the size and structure of the firm, the type of project, and time limitations for completing the specifications.
News For This Month: Services
Regardless of the specification's source, however, there are common qualifications held by all successful spec writers. First off, they are proficient in writing, as well as in researching and analyzing data. They are effective communicators and can understand graphic information on drawings, charts and schedules. They have full knowledge of things like building codes and construction law, and insurance and bonding. They are also updated in terms of present trends in the construction industry, like sustainability. Above all, they are a credible information resource for the whole project team.
Study: My Understanding of Articles
Architectural specification writing can be daunting for anyone doing it for the first time, whether it's an emerging architect or a veteran architect who has always avoided the job. Fortunately, there are plenty of tools available these days that make writing specifications so much easier. Specs are now written on the computer, which simplifies the whole process and saves everyone precious time. Spec sections may be written from scratch with the use of guidelines established by CSI (Construction Specifications Institute), or they can be produced by editing one of the master guide specifications presently available in the market. Experts recommend using a master guide system, of course, and for many good reasons. Majority of master guide systems have technical staff writers who update master specification sections from time to time, reflecting current trends, integrating new products, and refreshing obsolete standards, hence cutting the time required the spec writer must devote to research. Finally, these master guide specifications can serve as tutorials for inexperienced spec writers. Helping the spec writer make informed and wise decisions are the editor's text and notations, as well as the evaluation pages and coordination/checklist sheets.
Tips for Selecting Living Room Furniture
Decorating can be stressful for some people. as it isn't always easy to come up with just the right furniture to make a room look its best. There are a number of factors to consider when choosing living room furniture.
Type of Furniture
A typical living room usually has at least one sofa or couch, along with an end table or two, a coffee table and at least a chair or two. These days, it's also usually necessary to pick one of the many tv units for sale, unless the TV is hung on the wall instead. Relatively few households don't contain a TV in the living room. Chairs could be armchairs, club chairs, open chairs or a combination. A variety of different tables is important so that people in each seat have a place to set snacks, books, drinks or TV remotes. These tables are also a good place to put lamps to increase the available task lighting. Ottomans can be particularly versatile, as they can be put into use as seating in a pinch.
Layout Considerations
There are a wide variety of potential ways to arrange living room furniture. One popular arrangement is to have couches or chairs surrounding end tables in conversational groupings. Larger rooms might have multiple groupings, while smaller rooms would just have one. In some cases, one side of such a grouping would be left open in order to make it so all people have the optimal TV viewing experience. Make sure to always leave room for people to pass between pieces of furniture. A good distance is between 14 and 18 inches, as it isn't too far away for someone on the couch to reach something on a coffee table, but it's wide enough that people won't have trouble moving between the two pieces of furniture.
Material Considerations
Keep in mind that whatever furniture is purchased for the living room will need to be cleaned. Look for products that are stain-resistant, durable and easy to clean. Some materials are better for those with small children and pets, for example, while others are easily damaged and better avoided by families with pets.
Windows Tips for The Average Joe

The Advantages of Bathtub Refinishing Old and dingy bathtubs do not usually look presentable, and they are hard to clean. Cruel cleaning solutions and abrasive materials will not be very helpful in reworking your bathtub's appearance the way you want. A tub substitution is an alternative you have to another splendid bathtub. However, before you begin shopping or buying another tub, you should seriously think about resurfacing. Contact bathtub refinishing Philadelphia to have the tub reglazed, if your tub is peeling, stained, cracked or has an undesired color. Rather than replacement, beneath are some of the advantages that could make you consider a tub resurfacing. Reglazing costs substantially less that a whole substitution. When you factor in the purchasing cost and installation, a new bathtub can be a costly buy. If you are working on a budget, you may want to consider refinishing and see how it blends with your remodeling objectives. You do not have to shop for a new tub or have it installed, which means you save lots of cash compared to buying a tub replacement when you simply reglaze the old tub. Refinishing is hassle-free, less complicated and more convenient. Tub resurfacing replaces the old layer and not covering it. By removing the old layer, you do not have to worry about scratches, dings, bumps, dents or other surface imperfections that can take away that gleaming look and smooth feel. You forget about proper disposal, plumbing and getting the new shower or tub correctly installed. The process is performed onsite, and you don't need to arrange for another tub and installations. Except for the experts at bathtub reglazing Philadelphia and the finishing solution, everything required is inside your bathroom. Reglazing a tub develops significantly fewer variables to deal with as compared to replacing a bathtub.

Resurfacing takes less time to be completed. Bathtub replacement includes a considerable measure of man-hours evacuating and installing the new tub. You may also find yourself unable to use the tub for more than a week. There is a lot of work during replacement such as plumbing and the aesthetics which consumes a lot of money and time. Before the tub is ready for use, reglazing may take twenty-four hours for work and curing. Prior to beginning a demo, know if a tub resurfacing can help with accomplishing your goals without getting out the tools.
Study: My Understanding of Services
Refinishing is better even though replacing is cool. For tub replacement, you also need to replace what is around it. This heightens the odds of something going off the beam and end up replacing more than your tub. This can make an originally swift and cheap renovation, a longer and more costly one. Reglazing will become more convenient and inexpensive compared to tub replacement. The procedure replaces and enhances the bath's look and functioning as well as hiding imperfections.

Title: Medicinal plants in North Texas
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:Hi, I would appreciate some sort of list for medicinal plants in North Tx. I'm a photographer wanting to photograph this type of plant life. Thanks!!
Sorry, but Mr. Smarty Plants doesn't know of a ready list of medicinal plants for North Texas, nor even for all of Texas. Here are some suggestions, however, for references that you can use to make such a list. First, Delena Tull's book, Edible and Useful Plants of Texas and the Southwest, gives medicinal uses for many of the plants included in the book. You can check on the occurrence of the plant in North Texas by searching for it by its scientific name in the USDA Plants Database. Clicking on Texas on the map of the plant page will show you which counties it occurs in. For instance, Monarda fistulosa (wild bergamot), according to Tull, was made into a tea to soothe sore throats by the Shakers. If you will click on Texas on the USDA distribution map you will find that this plant occurs in North Texas. Second, you can find a list of Texas Edible and Medicinal Plants associated with Texas' First People (Native Americans). You can check those against the USDA Plant Database in the same manner as above to see if they occur in North Texas. You should note that not all the plants listed on this website or in Tull's book are native plants (N), some are introduced plants (I) that occur in Texas. The USDA Plants Database also shows that information for each plant.

David Kelly, of the Business, Innovation and Employment Ministry, says TC3 category property in Christchurch is not "munted" and is likely to recover value.
OPINION: Anyone living in Auckland will tell you that house prices are driven by perception as much as reality. A few people decide that old villas in Herne Bay are desirable. Demand increases and the value of these houses and their land rocket.
Perceptions are driving housing prices in Christchurch, but sometimes in the opposite direction.
Immediately after the earthquakes, property values in some areas have dropped. But international evidence shows that house prices almost always fall after natural disasters.
It happened after the 1989 San Francisco earthquake. Prices in areas perceived to be at most risk took an immediate hit. Houses outside the risk areas, however, increased in value.
The same pattern is emerging in the Canterbury housing market today. Residential properties on TC3 land are selling at prices significantly below capital value, sometimes up to 13 per cent below value.
However, residential properties on TC1 and TC2 land are now selling at prices above capital value - up to 14 per cent higher in TC1 and up to 5 per cent higher in TC2.
The good news is that property values in San Francisco did rebound and rebalance over time, and the same is likely to happen in Canterbury.
The key is good information. The more people know about the actual level of risk and what can be done to reduce it, the more confident about investing they become.
Breaking down negative perceptions and misunderstandings about the technical categories is the first step to rebuilding the local property market.
That means explaining what they are all about to all parties involved in the housing market, not just homeowners.
Homeowners probably know more about the land beneath their house than a real estate agent, insurer or a bank. They've had to understand the implications of zones, categories and rating systems. Each home is now a colour, a number, a letter.
Everyone needs to understand that these categories are not "hazard maps". They are a guide to what sort of investigation is required to work out the most appropriate foundations for repairing or rebuilding your home.
The technical categories are area-wide and represent an extensive analysis of the land performance in each area. The guidance that has been prepared for repairing and rebuilding homes in Canterbury has been peer reviewed by experts at Cornell and Berkley Universities (USA) and Canterbury University (NZ).
The technical categories give information to geotechnical engineers about how much site investigation is required, and they can then work out which foundation designs will work best for the particular land and building.
This is not a new approach in New Zealand.
There are plenty of places where local councils demand site-specific foundations to suit the soil conditions. This happens in parts of Auckland, for example, where there are extensive areas of clay, or on hill sides like the Port Hills where specific engineering design is also required for foundations.
Most land in Canterbury has not changed significantly as a result of the earthquakes - we just know more about it now. More about liquefaction, more about the level of earthquake shaking that can happen in Canterbury, and more about how foundations behave when liquefaction occurs.
That's enabled us to recommend stronger foundations that will perform better in future earthquakes and in the long term, that's a positive step in restoring confidence, increasing resilience, and protecting the investment that people have in their property.
As long as houses get the right type of foundation repair or rebuild for their land and are building code compliant, they will perform well in a future earthquake, and their value will be subject to the ebb and flow of the market, just like elsewhere in the country.
The message is simple - TC3 land is not "munted".
David Kelly is the director of Canterbury Rebuild and Recovery at the Business, Innovation and Employment Ministry, which now incorporates the former Department of Building and Housing.
