Do most small retail fashion businesses slow down in the summer? That's a well kept secret. Little is written about it, but it happens nearly every summer. I can look at statistics going back five years on our website and see a dip in visitors during the summer months. Sales figures reflect the same thing. For most small fashion businesses, summers are going to be slower. Why does this happen?
First of all, people are going on vacation or doing things outdoors they couldn't do in winter months. That means less time shopping and less time in front of the computer. Also big retail events like prom, Easter, and Mother's Day are over.
The good news is there are items that have a track record of increased sales in the summer or, at least remaining steady. While many of the events we look forward to are pasts, there are many that arrive in summer, but receive less fanfare. Think of all the outdoor retail events that summer brings—swap meets, street fairs, festivals, church picnics, craft shows, flea markets, conventions, garden shows, tourist destinations, and outdoor sporting events. Opportunities are endless. We need to change our focus to satisfy consumers' wants for summer months.
For us, one item surges ahead of all others every summer. That item is hats. As some items slow, casual hats pick up the slack. And there are a variety of hats that sell. The inexpensive straw hats for festival goers, outdoor workers, and vacationers are high on the list. Rush straw hats with wide enough brims to provide relief form the sun like safari and gambler hats are big. Those more interested in looks than shade also like rush straw fedoras.
Women working in their yard or engaged in outdoor events like simple wide brim straws. Rush and palm straw deliver swinger shapes at inexpensive prices for ladies.
But when they want something more fashionable, wide brims and super wide brims are the ladies choices. Upbrims like kettles are also popular ladies summer hats. And sewn-and-braid wheat straws provide a boutique quality hat inspired by Milan straws.
Besides hats, there categories of jewelry that remain steady or increase in sales during summer months. Before we get to them, let's think about the sales opportunities listed above. Vendors at most of these events have booths and their booths draw customers because they focus on one category of merchandise. Our business sees three categories of jewelry that vendors chose to make a statement at these events:
- Hematite Jewelry
- Gemstone Jewelry
- Theme Pendants and Earrings
One thing that makes these categories good is they have a story to tell. Remember a decade ago when people wore copper bracelets because they felt the bracelets provided relief from arthritic pain? Today people believe that about hematite jewelry. Like copper bracelets, hematite is a mineral. Many are certain that wearing hematite relieves pain even they will never find it documented in a medical journal.
Another thing about hematite jewelry is all the carved pendants the necklaces have. These themes pull at the heart strings of many shoppers. And they are not al themes for gals. Hematite jewelry also has wolf heads, horses, arrowheads, and other pendants that appeal to guys. It's hard to resist this inexpensive jewelry with its steel gray color and high luster.
So many different semi precious stones and each piece unique—you have to love this business. A booth of gemstone jewelry has endless stories to tell. These natural stones have banding, inclusions, color, hardness, and a million other things to talk about.
The America Indians used it and probably every culture in the history of the world. It's in our blood. We can't look down and see an interesting stone without picking it up. The cold feel indicates it's real. If I were doing shows, this would be my booth.
Who can resists a booth full of shiny crafted metal dimensionally shaped in every theme imaginable? That is what the "Best" pendant and matching earring line offers. This intricately crafted fashion jewelry is the collectibles of the next generation. Most pieces are stamped from a thin sheet of steel with dimensionally raised shape with detail that is unbelievable. From motorcycles to flower blossoms and baseball Mom pendants, this line hardly misses a theme.
Some are epoxied with color, but most have a high polished silver plated finish that can't be distinguished from sterling silver. The pendant numbers begin with PD. If you change the PD to FS and put the code number starting with FS in the search on the site, it will bring up the matching earrings and you can make sets. For the utmost in craftsmanship, it is hard to beat this line in fashion jewelry. A booth of this merchandise draws a crowd.
Everyone knows summer is vacation time, but it is also a time when many organizations have their conventions. What are the major conventions that assemble during the summer months? Church conventions, Veterans groups, and Masonic conventions have to be among the most numerous. Certain items see a sharp increase in sales because of these conventions.
At church conventions, many congregations require their members to wear a white dress hat on a certain day. This increases the demand for white church hats at a time when many wholesalers are out of dress hats. We try to be long in white church hats to prepare for the summer demand. Sinamays, organzas, pillboxes, and satin braid hats—nearly everything your customers will want in white church hats is still available on the site.
Scarves are also important for these conventions. Church conventions like scarves in religious themes. These are not easy to find. We do our best to keep as many designs as possible in our selection of scares to fill this need.
Since many of these conventions are gospel music workshops, music scarves also do well. Even if you are not a convention vendor, many of these items will sell in your shop for your customers going to conventions.
Men's ties that have themes are important items for summer conventions. Our site has a category for Masonic ties, religious ties, and American flag ties. These categories fill the needs for Masonic conventions, Church conventions, and Veterans conventions. Again, if your shop is near the convention center or your customers are going to attend, you have an excellent opportunity to move this merchandise. Summer is the best time of the year for these theme ties, mostly because of all these conventions.
This is the tip of the iceberg for items that increase in sales during the summer months. So we can feel better about summer business. In the seventies, our business concentrated on American Indian jewelry and we did a lot of festivals and outdoor events. In those days, summer was the best time of the year and I hated to see it end.

Real estate scam bilks buyers, sellers during transactions
There's a new scam in town, and the Colorado Division of Real Estate is warning people not to fall for it.
The scam involves stealing money directly from home buyers and sellers. It is a national cyber scam that tries to fool people into electronically transferring money while they are in the process of selling or buying a home.
It involves cybercriminals who have hacked into the email accounts of real estate brokers, title companies and consumers who are in the process of buying or selling a home.
In it, the computer hackers monitor email exchanges between any of those involved in a real estate transaction. As the closing date approaches and arrangements are being made to wire money to the closing company or electronically send proceeds to a seller, the scammer will send a last-minute email from a hijacked account or similar looking email address altering the wiring instructions to request the money be sent to what turns out to be a fraudulent bank account.
Earlier this year, a Colorado seller lost more than $80,000 in such a scam, the division said.
"Unfortunately, the costs to Colorado consumers can be in the tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars with just one successful scam," said Marcia Waters, division director. "Unless you pay very close attention, everything may look right, the email signature, address and the website. But by the time home buyers realize something is wrong, the money is already gone, and in an untraceable bank account, leaving them at the closing table with no money and eliminating their ability to purchase a home."
The scams have gotten so sophisticated that even to the experts the altered information appears to be legit because they include very detailed information about the transaction.
"This scam reflects the increasing technical sophistication of computer hackers and all home buyers and sellers are potential victims," Waters said.
The division and the Federal Trade Commission offer the following tips to help avoid such a scam:
■ Prior to wiring any money, verbally contact your broker to confirm any last-minute changes.
■ Do not email any financial information.
■ Keep a record of websites that hold financial information, and ensure they are secure. Be wary if it doesn't have an "s" at the end of the http. That "s" stands for "secure."
■ Don't click onto any links from suspect emails. Instead, search for the company you are using, and directly link to them.
■ Keep your computer's operating system, browser and security software up to date.

Soeharto: The Life and Legacy of Indonesia's Second President
Soeharto: The Life and Legacy of Indonesia's Second President
by Retnowati Abdulgani-Knapp
Marshall Cavendish, HK$192
Political observers often view the Javanese wayang, or puppet play, as the key to understanding Indonesian politics. In Petruk Dadi Ratu, a comic wayang story, the beloved clownish Petruk - seen as the embodiment of humble common folk - becomes drunk with power as he briefly ascends to the throne.
The story resonates with that of a Javanese village boy who enjoyed only basic schooling and went on
to rule the archipelago for 32 years. But in Suharto's Indonesia, where dissent was silenced, human rights were abused and corruption was rampant, it became a tragic tale rather than a farcical comedy.
Nine years after Indonesian president Suharto stepped down on May 21, 1998, the latest sign that the mood of the nation might be softening towards him is this authorised biography of the strongman, Soeharto: The Life and Legacy of Indonesia's Second President. Written by Retnowati Abdulgani-Knapp, this uncritical book attempts to show Suharto's controversial rule in a flattering light.
In it, Suharto is portrayed as a man who believed his rise to power was 'predestined rather than the result of choice'. Retnowati, whose father maintained amicable relations with Suharto, had access to his inner circle, interviewing the man, his family and his trusted aides. But these 376 pages add little new.
At the core of the book, dealing with Suharto's years in power, is a simple repetition of the official version of events: his heroic deeds in saving Indonesia from the communists and his successful economic policies. Anything negative is ignored as Retnowati strays into hagiography in her attempt to whitewash Suharto's career. There's little of any literary merit, Retnowati being a former banker whose previous publishing experience amounts to a devoted biography of her father.
A closed and evasive man, Suharto has remained an enigma. But Retnowati believes that the means to understanding him are to be found in his Javanese roots, his farming background and his military career. Suharto ruled in the style of an army general, tolerating no insubordination (he still bears grudges against those who deserted him in 1998). Quintessentially Javanese, he abhorred confrontation and those who spoke out against him became political and social pariahs.
One of the liveliest chapters recounts Suharto's childhood. Despite being shuttled from one relative to another after his parents' divorce when he was a baby, he grew up poor yet happy in a farming village in central Java.. Although moving, it offers nothing new, borrowed as it is from his 1988 autobiography.
There's some revealing insight into his current situation: his frail health triggered by corruption investigations and public condemnation, his quiet life sheltered by his children and a small circle of loyal aides. A section dealing with his visit to the ancestral village is touching - the pater familias, who will turn 86 years old in June, coming to life on returning to his farming origins.
A lengthy chapter on Suharto's charitable foundations, which have been at the centre of a corruption probe against him, argues that they are manifestations of his social concerns, funded by 'donations'. The corruption charges were revoked last year because of his poor health. There's no mention of the fact the donations were administered like private taxes: civil servants having to shave off their meagre salaries while Chinese tycoons dug deep into their fat wallets to ensure good relations with the president. Suharto ruled like a king of feudal Java, his style paternalistic, bestowing with one hand and clawing back with the other.
Critically, there's little mention of bloodshed during Suharto's reign. Between 600,000 and two million Indonesians were killed during the hysterical anti-communist and anti-Chinese massacre of 1965-66, as he launched a communist witch- hunt. Decades of brutal military suppression in Aceh are overlooked and Suharto's military operations in East Timor and West Papua are conveniently ignored.
Retnowati, though, isn't alone. Her view is typical of Indonesia's middle class and intelligentsia, appalled by the corruption of Suharto Inc while ignoring the former dictator's human rights abuses. Indonesians remain reluctant to face their past and so long as they do, there will be no proper assessment of Suharto.

Jason Mercier: It's been a pretty good summer. The Main Event, the first level was kind of rough. I'm down to like 14,000 from 50,000. Woke up feeling not so great today. Got a cold of some sort.
Matt Showell: Trying to buckle down?
Jason Mercier: Yeah, trying to buckle down. I misplayed a few hands and just whiffed a million draws. But it's early yet. So I'm hoping the next level goes better.
Jason Mercier: I was down here for a couple weeks in June and I must have written five stories about you. It was just crazy. And then recently another big thing happened to you. I'd like to start with the most recent thing. You proposed to your girlfriend, no fiancee, on the live stream which was really cool. I'm wondering what that was like for you. You're dealing with high-pressure situations all the time but stuff like that might be a little different than playing for high-stakes at the table.
Jason Mercier: Yeah it's definitely a little different. I actually wasn't really nervous in the moment to do it but it was more about the weeks leading up to it. I got the idea after I won my second bracelet that if I made another deep run, that was when I'd do it.
So I went out and got a ring and everything and then each tournament I was deep in, I was wondering if that was going to be the one.
So then I had the idea that if she made a really deep run I would do it then as well. Once she made Day 4 of the $5k and there was six players left, she was guaranteed a very good score, $130,000 for sixth. So I was pretty sure I was going to do it then unless she took some horrendous beat or something and it wouldn't have felt like the right moment.
Matt Showell: But she made it to third.
Jason Mercier: Yeah she got like $350,000 for third and she wasn't really involved in any all-ins at the final table until she busted. Three players got knocked out without her really doing anything so I think she was happy with the score and she was happy she laddered three spots without taking any risks.
Matt Showell: She must have been even happier after busting.
Jason Mercier: Yeah it seemed like a perfect moment to do it. I could tell she was a little disappointed but all that disappointment went out the window when I proposed.
Matt Showell: Happy that she said yes? You took a bit of a risk.
Jason Mercier: I knew she was going to say yes. If she had said no it would have been a big shock.
Matt Showell: It would have been even more viral.
Jason Mercier: Yeah that would have been bad.
Matt Showell: Going back a couple weeks. It was definitely one of the craziest things I've seen at the World Series in the 11 years I've been coming here. First, second, first and not to mention you had all these big bracelets bets riding on it. You had a giant run back in like 2008 so how does this summer rank in your career?
Jason Mercier: It's kind of hard to believe how it happened. Just winning the No-Limit Single Draw was awesome in itself. I look forward to that tournament every year. I was really happy win that one and then it was just one thing after another.
I was fortunate that I busted the $1,500 8-game just before dinner break so I got into the $10k at the exact moment I had to to win it all.
Then it was like a butterfly effect. I was the chip leader in all three of those events going into Day 3 which was just crazy. And then to have things go my way in all three events to get heads-up. It was a very surreal six days of poker. Probably the coolest run I've ever had.
Matt Showell: So condensed.
Jason Mercier: Yeah. Six days of playing cards where I got first, second, first. I won all my bets, almost every bet that I had. I scooped a ton of money and and was basically on cloud nine.
Matt Showell: Did anyone buy out of the three-bracelet bets at all after you won that second one? I know that controversy was more or less resolved but did you realize any money from that bet even though you haven't won three?
Jason Mercier: No it's still pending. Right now if I were to win the Main Event or the Little One for One Drop I would win $1.8 million on that and win a bunch more side bets. It seems like it's a long-shot away especially with me having like 28 per cent of the starting stack now, but we'll see what happens.
I'm not disappointed that I didn't win three bracelets. When I made the bet I was mostly doing it to give myself motivation and also I knew that once I made that bet I'd also make bets on winning two and winning one as well. So it was kind of a motivation bet.
Matt Showell: How much do you think the motivation played into it? It seemed like you were jumping into these tournaments and just shooting right to the top. It really impressed me seeing you coming in second and then coming back. I think getting that close and not getting there can be a really deflating experience and the way you handled it was to come back and take the chip lead right away in the third $10k. How much of the success do you attribute to the motivation as opposed to just running good?
Jason Mercier: You have to chalk some of it up to running good for sure. You just can't win tournaments without running good. The extra motivation was key. After I got second in the $10k Razz I was pretty deflated for sure. I was thinking, "Man this $10k HORSE is running and I just blew my opportunity in the second one." I was pretty upset so I took some time to regroup. I went to dinner with some friends and didn't really want to play to be honest. But because I had those bets I felt like I'd be selling myself short if I didn't enter every tournament that I could.
So I just put my head down, put my headphones on and hopped in. I think that's one of my greatest assets or abilities as a poker player is to be able to play through, play long hours and even when things are going bad to be able to continue to play my best.
Matt Showell: That's awesome. I guess that asset will serve you well in the Main Event right now.
Jason Mercier: The blinds just went to 150/300 and the ante hasn't kicked in yet. I still have 50 big blinds and my table is not that tough so I'm hoping I can actually win a pot or two.

Real Estate Law
Have Real Estate Law Questions? Ask a Real Estate Lawyer.
Thank you for your question. Please permit me to assist you with your concerns.
If I may ask, did your lease have a 'no assignment' clause?
In that case the costs, UNLESS listed in the lease, are not something that the landlord can pursue. The costs for an assignment and a new lease can be added solely if the agreement stated that the parties agree to such expenses, or where the landlord can show injury and show that the costs are unreasonable. Therefore you can challenge his actions and argue that he cannot charge you for the new lease, as you can simply keep that person as a sub-tenant for the 6 months remaining. As far as interest, if this is a commercial lease, I do nto see any law that requires interest to be paid.
Dimitry, Esq.

text: The 2003 LAEFL season saw 19 teams fight for 12 playoff spots. Mike Turner's Colts started out fast but ended up in second place to Earl McMillan's Jaguars in the tough Eastern Division. The Broncos, coached by Dave Campbell, ran away with the Southern Division, while the Panthers (Robert Jackson) did the same with the Central. The Northern Division was a dogfight, with four teams in the hunt until Marcelo Troilo's Saints finally won it on the last gameday. Although it wasn't the biggest league in LAEFL history, it was the most consistent, as all 19 teams made it to the end and almost every game was completed.

The hips are one of the most noticeable curves on the human body, particularly among females. In general, women's hips tend to be more pronounced than men's. Due to this fact, women have always found ways of accentuating their hips to either show them off or make them look bolder. Whether it is skinny, low-cut jeans or corsets, women of all stripes have found ways to show off their hips.
A prominent area for attention such as the hips is the perfect location to display striking artwork. A lot of women are choosing to bring attention to this region of their bodies with stunning, tattooed illustrations. Hip tattoos design an artistic portrait out of the human body. Dragons are a great choice for the hips. The hip can be the focal point of the tattoo even when the head goes up the abdomen and the tail goes down the leg.

Tutorials on product retouching?
Nov 15, 2012
I have a large project coming up where I have to do a lot of product retouching.
It most cases it will be removing French text and replacing it with English equivalent.
I have done a lot of this work in the past and the sort of techniques that have worked quite well for me were:
(a) the "patch" tool for cloning out the existing text (and replacing it with a suitable textured background);
and (b) a combination of the Spherize and Warp features on text to give the appropriate impression of perspective.
It most cases it has worked adequately, but I wouldn't mind some "boot camp" exercises to get back to basics.
Can anyone recommend any specific tutorials that they have come across on these subjects?

Desktop icons refresh every time the pc boots
Every time my pc boots some icons on the desktop refresh and fill slowly. When I disable the server service the problem disappears, but I need that service as I share files with other people. How can I solve the problem so that some of my desktop icons will not refresh every time the pc boots?
I've Tried to increase the icon cache size, and rebuild the icon cache but to no avail. Would appreciate any help

Interesting, happens to me as well. Since Windows 95
Some searching show everyone complain about not refreshing though, wonder if there is a setting or part of explorer process?

The Problem is due To Server Service trying to map Network
As I Found out allready the problem is caused by a service called server which automaticaly detects links to other network places and tries to map them in advance resulting in that terrible slow refresh which leaves the icons white for a few seconds before filling them). One solution is to make sure there is no shortcut to a network place on the desktop unless its in a folder (in which case the server service ignores the shortcut). The server service is very important for network sharing and other network activities so disabling it in the msconfig start up is a bad idea. Another problem might arise from one of the programs trying to connect to a network place and that should be avoided too if possible. Hopefully somebody can give an advice on how to tackle that server service problem.

Why do desktop icons load at log-on, then refresh one at a time?
When I start up Windows 7, the icons on the desktop are all visible to start with, but then the desktop seems to refresh, and the icons all go blank, then re-appear in a painfully slow manner (one or two at a time). This is a very recent clean install of Windows.

I found your web page while searching for answers on social security benefits when adopting a grandchild.
Our scenario:
My husband and I are in our 50s. We just found out that we have a granddaughter (my son's daughter) that is currently a ward of the state. We are in a custody battle to try and adopt our granddaughter who is 15 months old. She has been temporarily placed with her maternal great grandmother and final adoption is to be determined in the next few months. The baby's parents have had their parental rights severed by the state of Arizona.
My husband would be the baby's step-grandfather and he will be the financial provider. We will not be receiving any assistance from either of the parents, obviously because the parent's rights have been severed.
Our questions:
–If we prevail in adopting our granddaughter are we entitled to any social security benefits? If so, when? Not that it matters as it doesn't change our position on adopting her but we are curious for financial planning purposes.
–If the baby's maternal great-grandmother prevails in adopting her does she receive social security benefits…also, the great-grandmother is disabled.
The short answer is "yes" you would be eligible for an additional benefit if you adopt the grandchild, but not until you file for benefits. The earliest age is you may file for benefits is:
60-For Survivor Benefits
62-For Retirement Benefits
Any Age-For Disablity Benefits
A child who is your biological child, adopted child, or dependent stepchild is eligible for children's benefits if:
you become disabled
you retire
you die
AND the child is:
unmarried, and
under age 18, or
18-19 and a full-time student in secondary school through grade 12, or
18 or older and disabled with a disability that started before age 22.
If you become disabled or retire, your qualified child is eligible for up to 50% of your full retirement age benefit. If you die, your qualified child is eligible for up to 75% of your full retirement age benefit. This amount is subject to the family maximum.
I've written about both of this topic in my articles:
Social Security Benefits for Children: The 4 Most Important Things You Should Know
Social Security Benefits for Grandchildren
Thanks for the question and best of luck in your adoption proceedings.

Oil Water Separation Applications
Monitoring petroleum hydrocarbons in wastewater
The Situation:
A wastewater treatment company operated an oil/water separation facility on a multi-acre industrial site in Northern California. Its purpose was to recycle oil products for profit while at the same time providing a wastewater treatment service for industries based in Northern California.
By Turner Designs Hydrocarbon Instruments, Inc. based in Fresno, CALIFORNIA (USA).
Oil spill recovery
As the exploration for oil and gas enters areas of greater environmental vulnerability, the need for proven, reliable and robust equipment is doubly important. DESMI continues to answer this challenge with existing as well as specially developed oil spill recovery systems to operate in the most difficult and harsh environments known to man. This equipment is known as the ARCTIC range. This is a special tool kit of systems to enable you to successfully contain, recover and store hydrocarbons in the Arctic environment. In addition, we offer a range of 'fail safe' fire booms for use in controlled burning of oil in ice.
By DESMI A/S based in Noerresundby, DENMARK.
Industrial solutions for chemical and petroleum industry
With expertise in water and wastewater treatment, oil/water separation, liquid/liquid and liquid/solids separation, WesTech works closely with professionals in the petroleum and chemical industries. We are able to move fast to provide proven solutions and process infrastructure that keep production up and product flowing.
By WesTech Engineering, Inc. based in Salt Lake City, UTAH (USA).
Industrial wastewater solutions for spent release agents from die-casting
Die-casting: Low-cost treatment of spent release agents instead of disposal. Release agents are essential aids in preventing production disruptions and ensuring the quality of the produced parts in die-casting processes. These used agents, which are emulsified in the operational effluent from the foundry, cannot be discharged into the public sewer system. They are specialised companies usually disposed of expensively by specialized waste management companies, together with other operational effluents.
By H2O GmbH based in Steinen, GERMANY.
Containment and recovery of oil spills for port authorities
Oil Water Separation / Water Treatment - Chemical Reduction
Absolute separation for the energy sector
Energy will have more influence in the future than in the past, not only in the economic field, but also in social and individual behaviours. VITONE ECO supports its customers in this important sector supplying with plants, which assure great efficiency and whose use fits into an idea of sustainable development. VITONE ECO offers solutions for the treatment of mineral oils and fuels from refineries and lagoons, dehydration of plants producing biogas, production processes of non-fossil fuels, such as biodiesel and bioethanol.
By Vitone Eco S.r.l. based in Bitonto, ITALY.
Wastewater technology for the oil exploration and refinery
In the secondary recovery stage of an oil reservoir, process water plays a central role, just as in the extraction of natural gas. After the oil exploration, the produced water must be separated from the oil and gas. The process water needs to be prepared in order to be re-injected into the water cycle of production. For this purpose, highly efficient separation methods are required.
By AWAS International GmbH based in Wilnsdorf, GERMANY.
Oil skimmers for API separators industry
Ambar's belt mop oil skimmer is ideal for the API separators because the mop can cover the entire width of the API thus giving the oil no place to hide. The recovered oil can gravity drain from the oil skimmer or it can be pumped to a near by oil storage container. The end result is recycled oil, improved efficiency and lower operating costs.
By Ambar Oil Skimmers based in Westwego, LOUISIANA (USA).
High performance separation system for sour water
Hydrocarbons in the sour water system are typically present on a continuous basis at up to 10,000 ppm and during upsets to levels greater than 50,000 ppm. As little as 5,000 ppm Cat Naphtha lost to the sour water system from an FCC main fractionator overhead accumulator operating at 100 gpm water represents 262,800 gallons of potential product gasoline lost per year, with a recoverable product value greater than $500,000.
High performance filtration & separation system for frac fluid
Proper fluid and proppant placement are critical to a successful propped fracture stimulation treatment. Despite effective placement of the treatment, well performance is often detrimentally affected by incomplete gel breaking and fluid recovery.
Oil Mist Separators for Shipbuilding
A Contec oil mist separator (COMS), type 9.200/762, with special frame construction for the lubrication system of the energy supply is being used on the latest cruise ship of the Celebrity Cruises shipping line. The energy requirements of the cruise ship - built by Meyer Werft Papenburg - is covered by four MAN Diesel & Turbo SE, type 14V48/60CR, diesel engines. The Contec oil mist separator, type 9.200/762, with upstream demister and M6 filter cartridge ensures the reduction of particle contamination. Throughput: 1,200 Nm³/h @ 50 Hz.
By contec GmbH Industrieausrüstungen based in Bad Honnef, GERMANY.
Containment and recovery of oil spills for government agencies
Activated Carbon Filtration for the Water Filtration Industry
General Carbon carries a complete line of activated carbon made from coal, coconut shell and wood for most liquid phase applications. These include acid washed activated carbon for drinking water and food grade applications as well as products suitable for waste water remediation, decolorization applications, chemical and pharmaceutical purification. Additionally, our specialty medias are best for the treatment of non-emulsified oils and heavy metals. Our stock of activated carbon for liquid phase applications are all NSF certified, meaning that they are approved for treatment of food grade applications.
By General Carbon Corp. based in Paterson, NEW JERSEY (USA).
High performance separation system for lube oil industry
Many lube oil recovery processes create aqueous and hydrocarbon emulsions that are difficult to separate by means of conventional liquid/liquid separations technology. Accomplishing the desired separation requires that these emulsified droplets be captured. Conventional coalescers are unable to provide the degree of brightness and clarity associated with good separation due to the inability to capture and remove the most penetrating droplets that indicate carry-over. Pentair Porous Media technologies have been developed to address the inherent deficiencies of the conventional coalescers.

July 4th Candleholders
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Stacked clay pots painted in stars and stripes become patriotic candleholders thanks to this project from Heidi Borchers. These are a great addition to your July 4th centerpieces.
- Aleene's® Super Thick Tacky Glue™
- Clay pots: 2 (1-3/4" diameter), 6 (2-1/4" diameter), 3 (3-1/4" diameter)
- 2 (4" diameter) clay pot saucers
- Acrylic paint – red, navy blue, white
- Paintbrushes: sponge, ¼" flat shader, fine-tip
- Pop-up craft sponge
- Fun Foam scrap
- Pencil with eraser
- Waxed paper
- Toothpick (optional)
- Pattern
- For small candleholder: paint bottom of 1 (2-1/4") pot red and rim with navy blue. Paint rim of 1 (3-1/4") pot navy blue.
- For medium candleholder, paint 1 (1-3/4") pot and 3 (2-1/4") pots white.
- For large candleholder, paint bottom of remaining 1-3/4" pot white and rim navy blue. Paint bottom of each remaining 2-1/4" pot red. Paint bottom of each remaining 3-1/4" pot navy blue and rim of each red. Paint bottom of each saucer red, leaving rim unpainted, and inside of 1 saucer white. Let dry.
- For each candleholder, transfer patterns to pop-up craft sponge and cut 1 of each design except small star. Dip each sponge into water to expand and wring out excess water. Transfer small star pattern to Fun Foam scrap and cut out. Glue small star to pencil eraser to make stamp. Let dry.
- Pour separate small puddles of paint onto waxed paper. Dip 1 sponge into desired color of paint and "tap, tap, tap" your sponge beside paint puddle on waxed paper. This helps to distribute the paint and saturate the sponge. But don't over-saturate the sponge – it doesn't take much paint to stamp these designs! Using photo as guide, determine pattern and press sponge onto first pot where desired. Repeat to create design. Let dry. To change colors, wash sponge thoroughly and wring out excess water completely. Dip into next paint color and repeat. To stamp paint small stars, brush paint onto foam stamp and press onto pot. Repeat to create design. Let dry. To paint small dots, dip toothpick or end of paintbrush into desired color of paint and dot on pot. Let dry. Use fine-tip brush to paint wavy lines. Let dry.
- To assemble small candleholder: glue bottom of blue-rimmed 2-1/4" pot to bottom of blue-rimmed 3-1/4" pot.
- To assemble medium candleholder: glue 2 white 2-1/4" pots together around rima dn then glue bottom of remaining white 2-1/4" pot to 1 end of joined pots. Glue bottom of white 1-3/4" pot to opposite end of joined pots.
- To assemble large candleholder, glue blue and red 3-1/4" pots together arund rim. Glue bottom of 1 saucer to each end of joined pots. Glue red 2-1/4" pots together around rim. With white saucer up, center and glue 1 end of joined pots on saucer. Glue bottom of remaining 1-3/4" pot to free end of joined 2-1/4" pots. Let dry.
Heidi's Designer Tip:
- Be sure you use plenty of glue to secure these candlesticks together and let your glue dry completely. If you can't find clay pots in the exact sizes I have used, have fun mixing and matching your own sizes and shapes!

WOW are these impressive! These would look so stunning flanking each side of a big porch or on the patio. I never would have thought these candlesticks were made with pots. The painting design in them is so pretty and of course, very patriotic! I would love to get together with my gal pals and create these as a very fun and productive project. Thanks for sharing!

Stalking consists of virtually any unwanted contact between two people that directly or indirectly communicates a threat or places the victim in fear for their safety.
Stalking is a serious, potentially life-threatening crime, and has the potential to permanently change the lives of the victims, as well as affecting their friends, families and co-workers.
In most situations the stalker had a previous or current personal or romantic relationship with the victim. The relationship may have been casual or intimate. If it was intimate, it is probable that he stalker was abusive and controlling in the relationship. Rejection often triggers this type of stalking. The stalker may use threats of violence to reestablish the control they have lost or to seek revenge.
Stalking behaviors include:
- Persistent, phone calls, text messages, e-mails or notes
- Following, tracking – often with GPS
- Finding the person through public records, online searching, or paid investigators
- Watching with hidden camera, surveillance
- Suddenly showing up where the victim is – at home, school, work
- Sending unwanted packages, cards, gifts, or letters
- Monitoring the victim's phone calls or computer usage
- Contacting the victim's friends, family & co-workers to find out about the victim
- Threatening to hurt the victim, their family, friends or pets
- Damaging the victim's home, car, or other property
