"Heart House" is one of the October Writing Challenge entries that was chosen to be a featured story.
Her name was Emmy and her heart was a house.
To get inside, you would need a key.
There were others with no locks on their doors; they let people go in and out of their hearts as they pleased. Then there were those who had deadbolts and passcodes that only chosen individuals could unlock.
Emmy had just one lock with one key, which she would leave in a secret place only some could guess at. If they knew her well enough to find it, then they shouldn’t have a problem.
Her heart had three floors, the top being the attic. On the first floor, there were hundreds of people lounging on the sofas or playing cards by the window. Plenty of them would remain there. Either they couldn’t get to the second floor no matter how much they tried, or they weren’t trying enough. But even though most had spilled their drinks on the carpet and broken her flower vases, they still had a place in her heart.
If you were one of the few to reach the second floor, though, you’d know that there were three rooms with three very different doors.
The first one would be of dark, polished mahogany. At first, you wouldn’t notice it, but up close you’d realize that the number on the door keeps changing. Wasn’t it 2506B just a while ago, or was it the 325 you’re scrutinizing right now?
Within was a large hotel room, with her family gathered together watching television. Of all the amazing moments Emmy had with her family, this peaceful setting of them on vacation was her favorite.
Her closest friends had their own room, too. It’s bigger than her family’s, not because her love for them was any greater than the other, but because she had more friends than she had family.
Now, the last room was the smallest of the three. Inside, the lights were always switched off, but you could still see mirrors covering every inch of the walls.
This was Emmy’s room—the room where she could be silent, just stare into those mirrors, acknowledge her good qualities, and point out her insecurities. Because no matter how big of a house her heart may be for everyone in the world, there was little room in it for her own self.
Lastly, to get to the attic, you had to climb a short old set of stairs to a door at the far corner of her friends’ room. But the thing was, the door had no knob.
Perhaps you’re wondering: What’s in the attic?
Emmy herself had no idea.
She was baffled at first, but after weeks of trying to get it open, she let the matter go.
On this particular day, though, something was different.
Everything else was as it usually was; Emmy waved hello to everyone on the first floor before ascending to the second floor, to her family. After she had a meal with them, she headed over to her friends’ room to hang out.
“Did he do something to you, Emmy?” Nigel asked, implying that maybe Jess had been sent back to the first floor, or worse, out of the house.
“Oh no, nothing like that,” she assured him, shaking her head.
“I always thought Jess had a thing for Emmy,” Cathy said. While others murmured their agreement, Emmy blushed, and the strangest thing happened—the whole house jumped up.
“What was that?” Nigel exclaimed, gripping his chair tightly.
“It’s the same one as yesterday,” Ronald pointed out. Everyone looked shaken, for this was something frightening and new—everyone except Emmy. She was too busy recalling her last conversation with Jess, which was exactly when the first earthquake had occurred.
She knew this was somehow related to Jess’ disappearance, but she couldn’t understand why. They were just discussing a book Emmy had read, and while she babbled on about how good it was, she said something that made him laugh and he kissed her cheek.
There wasn’t anything weird about that; they’ve held hands and hugged and slept beside each other since they could first walk. What changed everything was Jess. He looked…different. He was always tall, handsome, and sweet, but somehow yesterday they were all exemplified. So when his lips brushed her cheek—well, the whole house jumped up, as it did just minutes ago.
She left her friends and circled around the room, hoping that Jess would suddenly appear. And it was in her search for him that she found the new addition to the door.
She looked around to see if the others noticed anything, but they were just doing their own thing. As she crept closer, she wondered again why she was reacting this way to Jess. She had to figure it out before it could damage their friendship.
She grabbed the knob, her stomach twisting into knots. She opened the door slowly, but it only revealed an empty room…with Jess standing right in the middle of it.
Jess turned to her, confused. “I don’t know. It’s like I…just teleported to this room.” He shook his head. “But it doesn’t matter. I’m glad you’re here. I thought I’d lost you.” And then he offered her his best smile, as he always did.
The house jumped up for the third time.
Shouts of panic rose up behind her, but Emmy now knew the reason why the house kept jumping, and why this boy who was so special to her was in a special room in her heart.

After years of denial, I finally jumped on the kale bandwagon yesterday and bought a bunch.
Encouraged by a link shared by a friend, I decided to try my hand at pre-making green smoothies for the week.
Blend for a short eternity, even with a high-powered sucker like my Ninja, then pour into jars and freeze.
Stay tuned for tomorrow’s verdict!

The reclusive author's "Go Set a Watchman" will be published July 14, and the story behind the book is incredible.
There are few authors we'd get excited about if they made us wait 55 years for a new book.
But Harper Lee is one of them. Tuesday, the 88-year-old's publisher said she'll be releasing her second book ever — a sequel to her first and only classic, "To Kill a Mockingbird." And the story behind the book is kind of unbelievable.
It's called "Go Set a Watchman" and was actually completed back in the '50s.
Lee didn't know the manuscript still existed until her lawyer found it in the fall in "a secure location,” according to The New York Times.
"My editor, who was taken by the flashbacks to Scout's childhood, persuaded me to write a novel (what became 'To Kill a Mockingbird') from the point of view of the young Scout."
So, basically, the Pulitzer Prize-winning "To Kill a Mockingbird" wouldn't have existed without this book. And Lee didn't even realize this book still existed.
Lee has led a quiet life and rarely gives interviews but said she is "humbled and amazed" the book will be published.

Rainy days make excellent pizza days (scratch that: ALL days make excellent pizza days), but it happened to be on the dreariest of rainy days that I made it to the West Side to see what Pizza J was all about.
If you aren’t a RI Food Fights Pizza Passport holder, and if you don’t live on the West Side, and if you don’t happen to know people who know people, you might not have heard the rumor about this newest edition to the neighborhood. But Pizza J, named for Julian of Julians (yes, THAT Julians, with the Bloody Mary and brunch specials that’ll leave you swooning), secretly opened its doors to some very lucky guinea pigs over the last few weeks. The good news, however, is THE DOORS ARE OFFICIALLY OPEN. My artist friend Rich and I went to taste — I mean test — I mean taste the waters, and here’s what we found.
If Julians and Ogie’s Trailer Park had a love child, I think it would resemble Pizza J. The ambiance is a mixture of industrial and artsy — a big open space with colorful walls covered in paintings and framed photographs. Flat-screen TVs play B&W movies (I was told “horror” is the genre), an “Item of the Week” billboard flashes its lights, and a beverage fridge glows with Greek letters in homage to Medusa’s sisters (think: the “Frankenstein” fridge in Julians) — although I do have my doubts about the spelling. A pizza oven blazes behind the bar and a game room hides in the back. Curious about the bathroom? Well, there are two, one bedecked in white marble and the other in wood, and they feel like actual throne rooms. The sinks alone are worth the visit. And anyone wondering why I would comment on the bathrooms has clearly never been to the one in Julians; you must do so!
As for the real food, neither Rich nor I could make decisions. Thankfully, our waiter, Mark, was a patient fellow. Since there wasn’t a cider on the drink menu, Rich inquired about a beer that was not too bitter. Before we knew it, we had a flight of beer samples in front of us. The Allagash White was his top choice, and I went with a basic red wine. The food menu was small but covered the basics: appetizers (“For destruction”), grinders, salads, and of course, pizza. I was surprised there were only six pizzas listed, but the menu is customizable: from substituting gluten-free crust and vegan cheese, to the addition of, say, meatballs to the Tony Clifton (a white pizza with herbed ricotta, potatoes, olive oil, roasted red peppers, onions, elephant garlic). Mark told me the Tony Clifton with meatballs was his favorite, and I was sold. We also grabbed a ChooChoo Appetizer Platter, all of the best (worst-for-you) foods: fried mozzarella, tempura vegetables, onion rings, an Italian eggroll, french fries and wings.
The appetizer came out nice and hot — maybe too hot for over-eager tempura eaters. Word of advice: Be cautious. I rejoiced when what I thought was a giant tempura’d carrot turned out to be a sweet potato because sweet potatoes make life better! But the surprise winner for me was the Italian eggroll. It was like a grinder inside of a warm shell, and wow. Amazing. Then, the pizza.
Square-shaped, with a thin bubbly crust, all the food groups in one small space. I inhaled half of the pizza before Rich started his second piece. And it was not a small pizza! It arrived on a giant cutting board half the size of the table, and 48 hours later, I think I might still be full. But it was oh, so good.
So there it is, the secret is out. The doors are open, and only one things remains: To eat, or not to eat—that is the question.

Coca, the sacred leaf of the Andes has been a central theme throughout our course. Contested and criminalized for its distant connection to cocaine this leaf plays a crucial role in Andean traditional belief systems and in modern day society.
Chewing coca is good for your health, gives you energy and reduces hunger. The perfect tool for a long day of working in the fields. It’s not addictive and is about as close to cocaine as a poppyseed muffin is to heroin. Yet the US still categorizes it as a drug. This sacred plant is grown in two main regions of Bolivia, one being Los Yungas where we currently are in homestays. Today students spent the day working the coca fields with their families and yesterday we got to hear local experts talk to us about the importance of coca here in Bolivia.

One of the remaining open challenges in Standard Model phenomenology is the formation of bound states of quarks in the strong coupling regime of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). This is true in particular for the excited states of baryons (qqq-states). There is still room for improvement of our understanding, which is seen once predictions from constituent quark models or lattice QCD are confronted with information on baryon resonances extracted from experiment.
From the experimental side, one studies baryon resonances by impinging strong or electromagnetic probes coming from manufacturable beams (pions, photons, electrons, . . .) on target nucleons in order to produce excited states. Then, the decay products are studied in order to infer the resonances. Thus, generally many different reactions are important for baryon spectroscopy.
The main currently accepted method to determine physical properties of resonances (masses, widths, quantum numbers, . . .) from data are so-called energy-dependent (ED) fits. Here, reaction-theoretic models construct the amplitude as a function of energy, and the model-parameters are (loosely speaking) varied in a fit. Then, the resulting amplitude is analytically continued into the complex energy plane to search for the resonance-poles. In almost all ED approaches, many reactions are analyzed at once in so-called coupled-channel fits.
An alternative Ansatz consists of trying to extract maximal information on reaction-amplitudes from the data, without introducing any kind of model-assumptions. For reactions involving particles with spin, e.g. πN → πN , γN → πN , eN → e'πN , . . ., generally n complex spin amplitudes are necessary to model-independently constraint the full reaction T-matrix. Furthermore, the data for such reactions consist of n2 measurable so-called polarization observables (or -asymmetries), which in general have to be measured in order to obtain information on amplitude-interferences. Thus, the question for an optimization of the measurement effort arises and one searches for so-called complete experiments. Those are minimal subsets of all measurable polarization observables sufficient in order to maximally constrain the underlying amplitudes. The complete experiment problem is most commonly treated as a purely mathematical problem, i.e. for idealized data with infinite precision.
This thesis treats the problem of complete experiments for the photoproduction of a single pseudoscalar meson φ, with a recoil-baryon B in the final state: γN → φB. In this case, 4 complex amplitudes are accompanied by 16 polarization observables. The observables are again divided into the unpolarized differential cross section σ0, 3 single-spin asymmetries and 12 double-polarization observables which are again subdivided into the classes of beam-target (BT), beam-recoil (BR) and target-recoil (TR) observables.
In an earlier work, W.-T. Chiang and F. Tabakin deduced completeness-rules according to which 8 carefully selected observables are sufficient in order to determine the 4 amplitudes up to one overall phase. However, these rules are again only valid for idealized data. One point which is troubling about the complete experiments according to Chiang and Tabakin is that they enforce the measurement of the double-polarization observables with recoil polarization (BR and TR), a task which is very hard to accomplish experimentally.
The goal of this thesis was therefore to study the analogous problem, however not for extraction of the full spin amplitudes, but for the photoproduction partial waves ('multipoles') in a truncated partial wave analysis (TPWA) up to some maximal angular momentum cutoff lmax. The extraction of partial waves in such analyses proceeds on each energy-bin individually, thus one refers to them as single-energy (SE) fits. The work has been triggered initially by a paper from the author V. F. Grushin, which investigates similar questions for quite low truncation orders (lmax = 1). Here, a promising aspect of Grushin's work was that he has been able to infer (almost) unique multipole-solutions without using any double-polarization observables at all.
The early concept for the thesis consisted of approaching the complete experiment problem for the TPWA from two sides. Those consist of the purely mathematical, or algebraic, side, which should then be complemented by numerical investigations on TPWAs. The present document collects the results of the project.
A review and further development of an earlier work by A. S. Omelaenko, which discussed linear factor decompositions of the polynomial amplitude, partial wave zero's (akin to so-called Barrelet zero's) and discrete ambiguities in TPWAs, is shown. This approach allowed for an identification of candidates for complete sets in a TPWA, although it was not fully clear up to which lmax such candidates hold up.
A welcome by-product of the formalization for the photoproduction TPWA performed in this work was the possibility of doing so-called moment-analyses on the angular distributions of the observables alone. A survey of such analyses for observables in π0-photoproduction is presented.
Lastly, the completeness-rules postulated in the algebraic part of the thesis had to be checked using model-independent numerical methods for the extraction of multipoles. Complete sets in TPWAs are thus studied numerically for synthetic idealized model-data, pseudo-data with errors of variable size and then, finally, also for real data. The influence of errors on the precision of extracted multipoles, as well as on the stability of the fits in general, is studied using the bootstrap.

The complete experiment problem is most commonly treated as a purely mathematical problem , i.e. for idealized data with infinite precision .
 This thesis treats the problem of complete experiments for the photoproduction of a single pseudoscalar meson φ , with a recoil - baryon B in the final state : γN → φB. In this case , 4 complex amplitudes are accompanied by 16 polarization observables . The observables are again divided into the unpolarized differential cross section σ0 , 3 single - spin asymmetries and 12 double - polarization observables which are again subdivided into the classes of beam - target ( BT ) , beam - recoil ( BR ) and target - recoil ( TR ) observables .
 In an earlier work , W.-T. Chiang and F. Tabakin deduced completeness - rules according to which 8 carefully selected observables are sufficient in order to determine the 4 amplitudes up to one overall phase . However , these rules are again only valid for idealized data . One point which is troubling about the complete experiments according to Chiang and Tabakin is that they enforce the measurement of the double - polarization observables with recoil polarization ( BR and TR ) , a task which is very hard to accomplish experimentally .
 The goal of this thesis was therefore to study the analogous problem , however not for extraction of the full spin amplitudes , but for the photoproduction partial waves ( ' multipoles ' ) in a truncated partial wave analysis ( TPWA ) up to some maximal angular momentum cutoff lmax . The extraction of partial waves in such analyses proceeds on each energy - bin individually , thus one refers to them as single - energy ( SE ) fits . The work has been triggered initially by a paper from the author V. F. Grushin , which investigates similar questions for quite low truncation orders ( lmax = 1 ) . Here , a promising aspect of Grushin 's work was that he has been able to infer ( almost ) unique multipole - solutions without using any double - polarization observables at all .
 The early concept for the thesis consisted of approaching the complete experiment problem for the TPWA from two sides . Those consist of the purely mathematical , or algebraic , side , which should then be complemented by numerical investigations on TPWAs . The present document collects the results of the project .
 A review and further development of an earlier work by A. S. Omelaenko , which discussed linear factor decompositions of the polynomial amplitude , partial wave zero 's ( akin to so - called Barrelet zero 's ) and discrete ambiguities in TPWAs , is shown . This approach allowed for an identification of candidates for complete sets in a TPWA , although it was not fully clear up to which lmax such candidates hold up .
 A welcome by - product of the formalization for the photoproduction TPWA performed in this work was the possibility of doing so - called moment - analyses on the angular distributions of the observables alone . A survey of such analyses for observables in π0 - photoproduction is presented .
 Lastly , the completeness - rules postulated in the algebraic part of the thesis had to be checked using model - independent numerical methods for the extraction of multipoles . Complete sets in TPWAs are thus studied numerically for synthetic idealized model - data , pseudo - data with errors of variable size and then , finally , also for real data . The influence of errors on the precision of extracted multipoles , as well as on the stability of the fits in general , is studied using the bootstrap .

Hello and Happy New Year! I hope everyone enjoyed nice holidays and had a chance to relax and maybe rejuvenate a bit. Today we have a quick look at news of an exciting new designer collaboration, additions to Kate’s Calendar, a new poll asking for your opinion on the cocktail dresses worn by the Duchess in 2017, and a quick announcement at the end of the post.
We’ll begin with the news about a collaboration between two of Kate’s favorites: LK Bennett and Jenny Packham. Women’s Wear Daily revealed the news in a story published this morning, including word there will be 16 footwear styles and 5 handbag designs. You can see one style in this courtesy photo.
This afternoon Kate visited survivors of the London Bridge & Borough Market terror attacks at King’s College Hospital.
Kate was in some old favorites as she and William undertook a day of engagements in North Wales.

The stories, objects, and photographs on display in the DANK Haus Museum are only a small part of our collection. Museum staff often meet with individuals and families to evaluate items for acceptance into the Museum's collections. We take pride in maintaining an ever-growing collection that preserves and interprets German-American history.
How Do I Donate Objects, Images, or Documents to the DANK Haus Collection?
If we are interested in accepting your donation, Museum staff will work with you to receive the objects, images, or documents.
Can I Mail or Drop Off a Donation?
Please contact the Museum & Collections manager before mailing or dropping off items. Not all items will be a good fit for our collection. We also need to know as much about the item as possible to determine its historical value and prefer to have contact with the donor in advance.
Will the DANK Haus Exhibit the Materials in My Donation?
The DANK Haus cannot guarantee that any historical materials donated to the collection will be exhibited unless expressly collected for that purpose. Only a small fraction of the collection is on view at any given time.
Objects, images, and documents from the collection are occasionally loaned to other institutions for temporary exhibitions, and many historical materials in the collection are made available for research purposes.
If I Donate Materials to the DANK Haus, Will They Be Returned to Me at My Request?
The DANK Haus cannot return accessioned collection objects, images, and documents to the donor. Once the DANK Haus Museum staff accepts your donation for the collection, you will be asked to sign a Deed of Gift which legally transfers ownership of the historical materials to the Museum.
Will the DANK Haus Appraise My Donation for its Monetary Value?
The DANK Haus does not provide appraisals of the monetary value of proposed donations or for any other reason because the Internal Revenue Service regards museums and libraries as interested parties.
Can Donated Materials be Removed from the DANK Haus Museum Collection?
The DANK Haus may remove historical materials from the collection through a process called deaccessioning. Objects, images, or documents that conform to our deaccessioning criteria (for example, historical materials that are determined to be outside the scope of the Museum's collections, inauthentic, misidentified, or misattributed, pose a risk to other objects in the collection) may be concerned for deaccessioning. Deaccessioned historical material may be donated to another museum or cultural or education organization, destroyed, sold, or disposed in another manner that the Museum deems fit.

Quick points for Small Biz Matters – a half hour program each week where you can work ON your business rather than IN it.
We’re very excited to be welcoming this week an extremely experienced professional; Lester Langford from Aspiring Computer Services. Lester and Aspiring have been servicing small to medium sized businesses for all their IT technical and equipment needs for over 15 years. Not only that but Lester also trains at the local Hornsby Ku-Ring-Gai Community College, sharing his knowledge teaching excellent courses on Design and delivery of courses covering IT subjects for non-IT people, including iPhone, Windows8, Computer Essentials, small business networking and laptop maintenance.
What we’re going to be talking about today is the IT considerations businesses need to make when moving into or between commercial or office spaces. This may your first time growing out of your home office and into a commercial office space, or you might be growing and in need of some good IT advice. Well, Lester is the guy for you!
Welcome Lester and thanks for being on the show!
Now the point to this show is really about teaching businesses what you see all the time, if you get it right the first time, you will save time and therefore money. Now I don’t think this is any more important aspect in a business which you really need to get right the first time, Would you agree?
When you inspect premises for the first time, most people are looking at size and how the space can grow with your business, or natural light, or parking for your clients. Not many would think of looking at it from an IT perspective. Can you tell us some of the tips and tricks for inspecting with that in mind?
Where you are in your contract with your current provider and do they even service this new facility. If not, how can you get out of contract with minimal cost? Look at price and continuity of your service. Call the provider and give them the new address – be careful of what you’re sold vs what you can get!
Make sure the internet is STABLE and fast. How is the internet coming into the office?
TIP: Optus cable gives by far the best service, but they are not everywhere. Lester, can you give us a hint how to figure out which company is where?
We audit a lot of things as businesses and told to do so regularly, how does a business conduct their own technical audit, or if they were to invest in a professional such as your company, what sort of questions should they be asking?
Think about the amount of wasted time a slow internet connection or cabling within the office can cost your business in terms of lost productivity. Lester, after our chat the other day I think it is really important to get a professional to do this for you simply because we all know what an impact slow internet or computers can have on your business productivity.
Look at the other tenants; how is their business activity going to impact on your upload/download speeds? Geography will also impact on the speed.
Again look at your network serviceability, can you be getting a better deal from another company?
Next look at the cabling INSIDE the office.
Wired is always the preference over wireless. WHY?
Ask the age of the existing wiring, you may need to replace sooner rather than later if it is aging. And THAT can impact on upload and download speeds.
Consider the location of your workstations in relation to the modem & server.
Make sure all of your equipment, in particular your server has decent ventilation and consider having a different circuit for your server than the rest of the office.
The BEST time to audit is…. Before you move in!!!
A UPS – *** Lester to explain what is that?
Consider landline vs mobile phones. Does your business really need one?
Ensure caller ID is switched on your mobile – no one likes answering calls from NO Caller ID numbers!
Use an IT professional to manage your moving services for your IT equipment – they know best how to move it without damage. You might be insured but who will insure you for the time you lose without that equipment??
A good IT professional is available 24/7 and doesn’t clock off at 5pm so you can be up and running the next day asap.

Philly has great trails around the city, but the areas where the trails and car infrastructure meet, cross, or mix are often problematic. We provide some infrastructure for bikes, but that infrastructure disappears completely when we come to intersections.
I recently read Kidicalmass organizer and Philly Pedals author Dena Driscoll’s blog post, Last Half Mile Home. Dena lives in a big bikey area. She lives between the Schuylkill River Trail, the trails of the Wissahickon Valley, and nearby Manayunk Towpath, all sections that draw many cyclists. This same area is also has a regional rail station and bus transfer station. Heavy traffic also comes to the area from I-76, City Line Avenue, and Kelly Drive. Rail commuters, heavy buses, pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers come together in a congested space where cars move fast, hills are steep, sidewalks are narrow, and there is no designated bike lane.
Image via Google Maps Traffic conditions: drivers are moving fast. Also note, the dark green line indicating the trail looks like it has a separate bridge crossing. In reality it is a narrow sidewalk along a bridge. Ah, Google Maps, you are a prankster!
One of the few signs for cyclists. Dena had to drag a cargo bike through the snow to cross to the other side to reach Ridge Avenue this winter. Photo credit: Dena Driscoll.
I talked to Dena about what she has experienced and observed and then I took a ride up there to get a feel for the intersection. She said (and I would agree), The confusion is high! On the first nice days it gets confusing. I have had run-ins with other bikers biking wrong way in the street trying to figure out how to get to the towpath.
I asked Dena how she learned how to navigate the trail end. She said, I learned how to do it by watching other bikers and going with what feels safe. I know from stroller usage that the westbound sidewalk is too narrow for that, let alone bike. I know cars will run the light and I need to wait longer to cross. It’s even worse with the bad weather. They don’t clear the trail at the end. No curb cuts are cleared. The empty buildings don’t shovel walks. It’s batty.
I don’t know if the area can be made better for bikes. There is not much room to create a specific place for bikes in the road. The trail has to be completed and linked to avoid this whole mess. Plans have been in the works, for some time, to link the trail and bypass this intersection, but there is no wayfinding or temporary measures to help cyclists safely navigate this area until the trail is linked.
Bike riders use this area not because they want to but because they have to. The trail is like a highway for bikes; it is the least hilly and easiest access between suburban Philadelphia and Center City. There are some trails on the west side of the river, but they are not as direct and have more hills. Besides the trails being an access point between the city and surrounding community they are great for recreational cycling and link to fun locations and historic sites, like Valley Forge.
For people like Dena who live near the trail and use it to get in and out of the city, linking the trails might lengthen her route but provide a safer and less congested place to access the street network. For those who want to enjoy the trails there needs to be a safe way to get to them.

Replacement storm window costs can make the task of replacing your current window seem like a daunting and overwhelming task. One of the most important things to remember is that the replacement of your window should be a one time task, as your new one should be sturdy and withstand the test of time. There are also a number of considerations you can make which will allow you to relax and potentially enjoy the task at hand. Hopefully you will receive some answers through this article which will set you at ease about your upcoming replacement storm window purchase.
There are many perks that you will find as you begin your journey to find a new window, one of the greatest being their overall versatility which allows them to be completely customized to fit your needs. These may be made using a wide variety of materials, and they are most commonly found as vinyl replacement windows, as vinyl is very durable and easily fits into the space left by your old windows. Other materials may include aluminum, wood, and fiberglass, all equally durable and available based on your needs and personal preferences. All of these have the capability to be painted and altered in order to better fit your needs and style.
It is important to note the bay window replacement options available and possibly replacement storm window as well. These most often vary in color, ranging from a slightly blue tint to a clear, bright white. This color change is merely aesthetic and offers no real insight into the quality of the storm windows that you are considering, so feel free to select based on your decor and style preferences. There are truly limitless options when it comes to purchasing your replacement storm window, you are only limited by your own imagination.
Another important component of a replacement storm window is their incredible durability. These storm windows are practically scratch resistant and easily hold up against weather and other outdoor elements. They require little to no maintenance, do not discolor, and it is highly unlikely that you will ever have to replace your storm windows again. Keep that in mind when the task of finding a new window seems overwhelming, this will probably be the only time you have to undertake such a project.
Perhaps the greatest attribute of a replacement storm window is their overall affordability. They are available at a minimal base cost, which proves to be a one time as they typically need no maintenance after installation. Additionally, these can prove to bring you vast savings, specifically if you choose a replacement that is energy efficient.
An energy efficient replacement storm window holds even more perks than a typical replacement. These storm windows contain tighter seals around the perimeter which prevent outside air from seeping through and getting into your home. Their thickness and quality materials also provide extra insulation and their panes serve to block excess sunlight. These factors combined lead to an overall decrease in your monthly energy costs, by preventing outside elements from affecting the temperature inside of your home. Energy efficient storm windows may also provide you with an extra tax credit, just another way this model will save you money.
When buying a replacement storm window, it is important to remember a few things which will lead to the best purchasing decisions. The first is to shop around and obtain prices and quotes from a number of contractors. For estimates from your area, please take the time to fill out the form on our home page. This will provide you with multiple estimates from a variety of contractors near you, which will help you to make the best decision for your home and for your budget.
When researching it is important to make sure you get estimates for high quality, top of the line storm windows. As mentioned, this is a large undertaking and not something you want to do often, so make it count and buy the best product for the amount of money that you are willing to spend. Compare the best deals that you find with the best product, and you will be sure to make the choice that best fulfills your needs.
One of the best things you can do when looking for a replacement window is to consult others who have made similar purchases. Referrals from former customers are highly important because you can be certain that they will be honest. Check with your friends and family members, you may be surprised with the amount of insight that can give you on making this purchase. The Better Business Bureau is another great place to ask for referrals, as they will provide you with up to date information regarding the contractor you are considering for you replacement storm window.

1. Experiencing Results – Every Growth Cycle SM starts with real world experience. Being open to the reality of our world, gathering information, paying attention to outcomes, and getting input and feedback from others are all part of experiencing the results we want (our vision). The only way we can know if we are making progress and turn our vision into reality is by being open and objective along the way.
Think about successful leaders and creative people. More than likely, they have lots of ways to get feedback about how they are doing and periodically seek input from others — even when the results don’t match our expectations. We are all born with the natural ability to listen and be open to the world — and evaluate our progress. This is how we learn from our experience and turn early trial and error into ultimate success — turning our vision into reality.
2. Reflecting on Lessons — Every Growth Cycle SM requires personal reflection at times — becoming more aware of our knowledge, experience, skills, values, beliefs and assumptions that make us unique. We tend to take for granted what we bring to the table — and often aren’t aware of what we’ve learned. Sometimes we get results that don’t match our prior experience. Letting go of assumptions or beliefs that don’t accurately describe the world or ourselves can be difficult — but this always precedes our biggest breakthroughs.
Think about successful leaders and creative people. More than likely, they have a very clear understanding about who they are — and how they can make a difference. They often question their assumptions and beliefs because they trust in their ability to form new ones. We are all born with the natural ability to be introspective and think about our past — and learn from our experience.
3. Projecting a Vision — Getting clear about who we are leads to clarity about what we really want (our vision). This is a description of the future we want to create. The more our vision “connects the dots” of our past experience, the more meaningful it will be to us — and others — and the more likely we will be successful in creating it. While visions usually start out very fuzzy — and are just a “best guess” or hypothesis of what we can achieve, they get clearer over time. Like us, they are a work in progress.
Think about successful leaders and creative people. More than likely, they’ve developed a clear understanding about what they want. We are all born with the natural ability to envision and think about our future — and project a positive vision of what we really want. Even a glimpse of a vision that is meaningful to us can help us create a long term focus that leads to specific action — and real learning.
4. Executing a Plan — While a vision answers the “what” question, a plan answers the “how” question. It is a description of the actions we will take over a specific period of time to move closer to our vision. There are always multiple ways to turn our vision into reality. Crossing the threshold from thinking about our vision to taking action can be scary — but is essential to move forward.
Think about successful leaders and creative people. More than likely, they are always taking action that moves them toward their vision. We are all born with the natural ability to take action and affect the world around us — and overcome obstacles. Having a specific plan in mind can focus our energy and ensure we are always moving forward. Getting out of our head and into the world is the only way for good things to happen.
