Even homeowners who prefer to do things for themselves will need professional help from time to time. This is certainly the case with the plumbing. Here are several good reasons to contact a plumber and arrange for a service call.
Leaky Faucets
The taps in the kitchen or bathroom always seem to drip. Rather than trying to use a wrench to tighten anything and possibly causing more damage, it pays to call a plumber. In many cases, all it will take is one or two new components and those older faucets will work just fine for several more years.
Broken Water Pipe
After a hard freeze, the homeowner hears water running somewhere. The problem is that the location of the running water is not easy to detect. An emergency plumber houston will have the equipment needed to locate the damaged pipe and know how to go about making a repair. Making that call as soon as a problem is noticed will translate into a lower water bill and save a great deal of money.
Updating Fixtures
When the plan is to update the look of the bathroom or the kitchen, new plumbing fixtures are often part of the design. Before making any choices, why not get some professional advice? A plumber northwest houston can talk with the owner about different fixture designs, including the benefits and the possible drawbacks. With that information in hand, it will be easier to make the right choice.
Replacing the Water Heater
If the water heater is beginning to wear out, now is the time to think about a replacement. A professional can provide information about the different models on the market today. Depending on the needs of the family, the plumber can identify two or three choices that would be a good fit. Once the choice is made, the same professional can take care of the installation of the new heater.
For any type of issue related to the household plumbing, call a professional service today. An appointment can be set for the next available date and time. Doing so will result in quick action that saves money, time, and a lot of frustration.

Piri is nine years old when the narrative begins. She is a member of a loving Jewish family living in Hungary. Her father is a soldier, and she has many sisters and one brother. As is to be expected, she is innocent of many the things that are concerning the adults about the coming war, and her family tries to shield her as best they can from the truth of the German war machine and the spreading of anti-Semitic sentiment. Nonetheless, Piri has a sense of dread and foreboding in regards to the changing moods of the adults around her and, of course, it eventually becomes impossible for the adults to shield Piri from the horrors of World War II and the Holocaust.
As a middle child, Piri is tasked with taking care of the younger children and with helping around the house with domestic chores. She also...

I'm with you there. For the past month, my Mondays have been Bones at 8:00, Dallas at 9:00, and Castle at 10:00, with Five-0 getting relegated to On Demand the next day. (Sorry, Steve & Danno, that's just the way it is.)
Mondays are a busy TV night! I'm hooked on The Following as well. But H5-0 is the perfect escapist TV for Monday night, so I'm really hoping it doesn't move. Especially to Friday night... I'm never home on Fridays, and I like watching 5-0 live.
I didn't get the 'Hookman' thing, not realising it was a remake, thought it seemed off kilter. Also those hands seem way advanced. And a waste of Peter Weller. I'm beginning to think it's jumped the shark. Or perhaps doing it in very slow motion. Certainly not must watch. Which for me makes me wonder about our producer heroes Orci and Kurtzman, and their ST script.
Wonder how much these two are still calling the shots on this show. Or whether they have "outsourced" it to others.
Friday does seem to be the retirement home for shows building up episodes for their syndication deal that are not paying off the current network run during the rest of the week. It is still a step above being burned off on Saturday night. I would rather see Friday and more episodes then a cash out when they try something else against Castle and Revolution
Certainly not with writing it; 1x04 was the last time either of them had a writing credit on an episode.
But are still listed as EPs, which iirc involves overseeing storylines. If they weren't doing anything they wouldn't be listed.
No, that's not true at all. Plenty of people get EP credit on shows and continue to get that credit with little to no involvement in the show itself. Maybe they helped develop the show (as is the case with Kurtzman & Orci) but are now producers in name only--meaning they get big bucks for doing nothing. Or sometimes people get EP credit because their production company is involved with the show--usually in that case, a lower level exec who isn't credited is the one doing the day-to-day work on the show. The EP who is really involved is the showrunner--and that's Peter Lenkov. If Kurtzman & Orci were involved past the pilot/ep 104, it would have been in season one, when the show was getting off the ground.
CBS announced Vegas is getting the CSI slot for now as Golden Boy keeps Tuesday. Monday's remain safe for 5-0
Did anyone watch last night? I thought it was a fun ep--the roller derby plot was a little silly (especially putting Catherine undercover), but I did like the stuff with Steve and his mom and Catherine. I especially liked it when Steve called his mom out for putting Catherine in the position of having to lie to him--and I was glad in the end when he didn't hold it against her. What did happen to Mangosta though? I'm assuming Catherine didn't just let him go when she and the CIA guy found Doris torturing him. At least I hope she didn't. I can't say I'm hugely invested in all of this drama with Mama McGarrett, but I'm guessing this is where the season is headed for the finale....
I liked it... I love Michelle Borth/Cath, so every ep that gives her a lot of screen time totally works for me. And yeah, I'm also glad Steve wasn't mad at Cath for a long time. I also don't care much for Doris' storyline...
Catherine is cool--I just wish they had a way to more naturally integrate her into the show. Maybe some sort of military subplot tied in to what 5-0 does? Or she could be assigned the Wo Fat case by the Navy? Something so she doesn't end up stuck going undercover at Roller Derby or babysitting Steve's mom every time we see her.
I'm really surprised they haven't found a way to get Catherine tied in more closely with the team by this point in the season. The flip-side is that they aren't giving her stuff to do at the expense of Chin Ho or Kono (which was what happened last season with Lori). But it's definitely something that needs to be worked on. I guess we'll have to wait for the season finale to find out the real reason why Doris let Wo Fat get away.
Did anyone else watch last night? The case was sooooo boring. Not a huge fan of the episode; Danny was kind of needlessly bitchy. Sometimes he's just kind of a little bitch and Steve argues with him but more or less puts up with it. Danny's my fav, and I love when he and Steve bicker, but every once in a while they just take it too far and he's just kind of a whiny brat. Sometimes I feel like they really go out of their way to justify paying to have Catherine and Max as regs. Catherine was only in one scene, and Max was just in two I think. I did love when Kono used the crane to drop the crate on the mob guy! That rocked.
Last night's episode was kinda confusing at first. Had to watch the episode a second time, to figure out what was going on.
Yeah, it was definitely confusing. I didn't like it enough to watch it again, but there were definitely things I missed.
CBS renewed 18 shows today and Hawaii 5-0 was one of them: http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/03/27/cbs-renews-18-shows
With CBS looking to the off-network syndication market, renewing Hawaii Five-0 for a fourth season would be a no brainer. Even if the show ends up being dumped onto Friday night. IIRC, off-network syndication requires something like a minimum of 88-100 episodes to be viable for daily reruns. At the moment, there's already 66 or so episodes. Just need another 22 to reach 88. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_episodes

you make me remember why the sky must grow dark,
why my skin grows cold
as one breath precedes another.
i have learned the difference
between sorrow
and pure motion,
between regret and the agony
of wanting
that snaps every blue flower
and spits ice into the skies.
there is no easy…

Ryan Anderson
Ryan Anderson is a humorist and writer with a degree in journalism and philosophy that just sits in a box in his attic.
You can read more of his musings here: http://www.twitter.com/kolchak
Amanda Bynes has been getting a lot of heat recently for what she's been saying on Twitter -- specifically using gay epithets and talking about "ugly" black people. But now she's found a kindred spirit who shares her exact feelings.
Just kidding. It's still her.
Amanda Bynes continued her long, snowballing descent into the comfortable walls of a padded cell this weekend, talking about plastic surgeries and picking all sorts of fights.
Today (May 30) celebrities had possible skin issues, talked to fans, needed help, assaulted strangers and ruminated.
Even though many people think Amanda Bynes has gone off the rails in the past few months, she still claims she hasn't -- which makes us wonder what kind of "normal Amanda Bynes" behavior we've been missing out on all these years.
Remember when Mariah Yeater claimed she was impregnated by Justin Bieber during a magical backstage tryst before she was proven a trashy little gold digger and faded into obscurity?
Get ready for that to happen again.
Today (May 29) celebrities got ambiguous, hated on you, watched reality TV, figured out successful journalism models and made pleas to large corporations.
After Amanda Bynes was arrested for allegedly throwing a bong out of her window, everyone assumed the cops would find copious amounts of drugs in her apartment and throw the book at her.
But it turns out they didn't -- so Amanda might be set to walk away from the incident without so much as a wrist-slap.
Finally, LeAnn Rimes is content. Her new record is coming out, her stepchildren call her "mom" and she's happily married. Life is good.
Except ... not really, because she's still harping about how awful things have been.
Miss Independent is one step closer to tying the knot.
Kelly Clarkson and fiance Brandon Blackstock, who got engaged in Decemeber, have a wedding date.
Courtney Love, perhaps upset that she's been cast off Hot Mess Isle by Amanda Bynes, has taken to Twitter to inject herself into the latter's ongoing crazy saga.

Hoo boy. Have I said yet that it's going to be a long night?
The last panel was originally going to feature a short dialogue whispered between Rain and Gavin. But I didn't like it. Then I decided on a shared thought; that felt iffy too. Ultimately, I stuck with silence as they gave pained, knowing looks to each other. Perfect!

Giuseppe Concone, the famous Italian Master of Singing and Pianoforte, was born in Turin in the year 1810. His musical education was had in Turin, where he continued to live until he met with discouragement on the failure of his first opera, 'Un episodio di San Michel,' which was performed in 1836. In 1837 he moved to Paris, where he became famous as a teacher of the piano forte, singing, the theory of music and composition. While resident in Paris, Concone became very popular as a composer of Romanzas, Arias and Duettini; but his chief title to fame rests on a Series of Solfeggi which have a world-wide reputation and are everywhere in use - they are eminently practical and melodious, with a flowing accompaniment.

Melissa Cross talks a lot about emotion and letting things happen naturally - about avoiding contrivance at all cost. So it should come as no surprise that what brought NYC's most forward - thinking voice teacher to her profession was not a conscious decision, but the same path that led to the development of her innovative technique: personal experience.
The journey began when Melissa made a move from years of traditional music study at the prestigious Interlochen Arts Academy and the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School in England to a career as a performing rock artist. All the years of perfecting her voice through classical training suddenly made little sense. "My voice lessons had absolutely no context in rock," she remembers. "They had no relevance to anything I was doing. I was basically screaming and throwing technique out the window to get a sound that felt real to me." It was only through a long process of figuring out how to really deliver those raw, heartfelt rock vocals without holding anything back - and without damaging her voice - that Melissa Cross discovered the technique that she teaches her students today.

Boy, it's been awhile since my last post. Busy, busy, busy. I'm not sure if the following is all that funny, but it is something that really bugs me. Wires on poles. In the 21st Century? Seriously?
Every few years my electric company, ComEd, comes down our street with crews to trim the trees under the electric lines, carving them into Y shapes to make room for the wires. It looks ridiculous. And the branches still knock down the wires when it storms. How can we force them to invest in a more reliable, less visually-polluting, infrastructure?
Am I starting to sound a little like Andy Rooney? I am not a curmudgeon. I'm not.

Reply by bumblebaby8808 » Apr. 6, 2012 5:24pm I haven't tried this but I have herd about a test to determine the gender of a pregnant woman's baby by having them pee in a cup of baking soda. Bleach in a cup would be MUCH cheaper!!! Report Me: Alicia (29) ~ DH: Patrick (29) TTC #1 Since August 2009 with PCOS 1st & 2nd (March & May 2012) IUI Cycles w/ Clomid = BFN's 6/24/12 - 3rd IUI cycle w/ Gonal-F and Lupron. IUI on 7/9.

Reply by angrybird121 » Apr. 6, 2012 6:01pm A lot of people think it's stupid, but the women who have tried it, took a follow-up HPT and turned out to be pregnant. Report |

Reply by VivaLaGina » Jul. 4, 2012 12:01am I would just like to say that you should be careful if you are doing this in a smaller enclosed space, like a half bathroom. After the bleach foams up, it apparently creates and lets off a very strong gas, which I am assuming is toxic. I dumped the cup out quickly and turned the bathroom fan on. Maybe I put too much urine in the cup, but that was definitely an unpleasant surprise. Be careful! Report |
Reply by MariaBcn » Oct. 16, 2014 11:03am So.. Ummm.. I did the bleach one and it fizzed everywhere. So, just to be sure I made my sister and brother do it and it did absolutely nothing.. I have felt very weird lately. I checked in http://bleachpregnancytest.com Im almost positive Im pregnant. <3 Report |

Elexia for Women Maximum Sensitivity Formula!
There are two physical changes the body must under go if a women is to experience orgasm. The first is "vascongestion," the pooling of blood in the breasts and genitals. The second is "Myotonia" or "neuromuscular tension," the build up of energy in the nerve endings and muscles of the entire body.
The physiologic mechanism of clitoral stimulation involves the release of NO Formula (NO) in the female genital tissue during sexual activity. (NO) then activates the enzyme guantylate cyclase, which results in increased levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) producing smooth muscle relaxation, and allowing increase of blood flow.

How to define your target audience the right way
Written by James T. Noble and published
Can you please everyone all of the time? Nope.
But by choosing your target market wisely and honing in on it, you can please the right people all of the time.
Any entrepreneur knows that in order for a business to succeed it has to be aimed at the right people – but many make the major mistake of assuming they already know their target market and employing a 'one size fits all' approach to their marketing strategy.
For example, a common assumption among car accessory retailers would be that their target market is 'anyone who has a car.'
Of course car owners are more likely to be interested than someone who doesn't own a car, but that's no target market. Having such a wide, unfocused audience makes it impossible to tailor a strategy to specific types of car owners for a specific product.
To have a successful marketing campaign, you must know exactly who you are targeting, and why. Far from being limiting, a clear, refined target market audience gives your content and marketing more clarity and focus – and makes it that much more effective.
So how do you go about finding your target market?
Know yourself first
It all starts with close self examination – you won't be able to figure out who your business appeals to unless you know your products or services inside out. First, think on these important questions:
- What is the purpose of what you sell? Is it designed to satisfy a basic need or is it a luxury item?
- What makes your product or service unique? Is anyone else selling anything similar, and if so what gives your product the advantage?
- Why does your current customer base buy from you? Who buys the most or spends the most money and what do you know about them? Is there anything they all have in common?
- Does your product or service offer a solution to a problem that people have – does it make their lives better in some way? What are its benefits?
Find your audience online
Once you've established what your business or product can do for people, the next step is to discover who will benefit from it the most.
Listen to social media to get started here – what are people saying about you on Twitter and Facebook, and how do they speak when they say it? Who is the most interested in what you offer?
Use social media tools to listen in. Search for other online mentions of your brand in places like forums and groups and listen to what people are saying – it is guaranteed to be useful stuff.
Hone in on the most vocal customers you find and ask them questions, whether it's via a Facebook status, users' group or even just an email.
Surveys on social networks can also be a goldmine of information, and it's easy to make it fun for fans to take part while you gain quality insight.
Meanwhile, stay up to date with the news and trends in your industry and with your competitors. Keep an ear to the ground for anything and everything that might give you a better understanding of the appeal of your products and services.
These observations will arm you with awareness that you need to take with you through to the next stage.
Discover your target customer
Now that the picture of your target customer is really beginning to shape up, it's time to refine it even further. More questions to consider:
- What's the reach of your product? Are you going to be selling regionally, just in your own country or worldwide?
- Divide that market up into segments based on demographics. What age groups do you reach? What's your average customer's level of income? Are they single? Married? In a relationship?
- Divide those segments up further still, this time based on psychographics (a fancy word for values, attitudes, interests, and lifestyles). Are your customers mostly middle class or wealthy? Do they live in the suburbs, the country or an urban loft?
- Do your products or services appeal to other businesses rather than consumers? If so, consider factors like type of industries available, how big they are and how much money they make to figure out which ones are right for your business.
Create personas
By now it should all be falling into place, providing you a pretty clear and specific idea of your ideal customer. You might even build some sample "personas" from the data you've put together, putting names and photos to the audience segments you've discovered.
This the audience that's going to be the most receptive to your marketing – every blog post, email, social media post or other marketing message should be crafted with them in mind. Work to understand them better and think carefully how best to reach them with your message.
Refine your marketing with audience in mind
Now instead of wasting your energy targeting a too-broad audience, you have a strategy focused on the right audience that will pay dividends.
This means that instead of targeting 'anyone with a car,' our example business can target more specific groups – teens buying their first car, for example, or executives who need accessories to make their daily commute more comfortable.
Armed with better specific information, you can make smarter decisions about where to advertise (where these people hang out) and how to talk to customers (using the language that resonates with them).
Tailor your marketing strategies to delight and excite your customer, not just any customer. They will love you – and your products – for it.

No. Not like that, pervert. Well, that we know anyway.
In a move of what is likely to be shear coincidence, New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez was in Mexico City this past weekend where he was teaching children to bat at a brand new sports center. Simultaneously, pop star Madonna was touring in the same city in front of a sold-out crowd that evening.
No word on whether the two celebrities met while in Mexico, but I'm just hoping that those kids got the proper training as Rodriguez seems to forget how to bat after the month of August. Perhaps it was a form of sabotage?

Magic Johnson helped Barack Obama get this job
In that regard and others, it was interesting to hear Johnson's assessment that Obama has what it takes to make magic for this country. However we all voted, we all should be hoping now that Obama is indeed a magic man.
One point that is worth making, though, is that the work Johnson and other leaders in sports did in crossing racial divides helped position Obama for this victory.
Another point that is worth making: Johnson said the Lakers can't lose focus on the fact that this is "a business year" -- meaning the loss to the Celtics in the NBA Finals should hurt enough to get the Lakers taking care of business all season long to the point that they "destroy" everyone.
Johnson said the Lakers have "matured a lot," specifically mentioning Andrew Bynum, Trevor Ariza and Jordan Farmar.
"They're ready for some big things," Johnson said.
