Enteric fever, despite its presence for a long time, very little progress has been made in the diagnosis of the disease. Diagnosis is still made either clinically or by Widal test and very rarely by blood culture. Blood culture is not only the gold standard for diagnosis but also suggests the sensitivity pattern of the organism.
Till 1990's enteric fever was managed by cheap effective first line drugs. With the emergence of multi drug resistant typhoid the treatment has become complex with several antibiotics being used. This has further added to the problem of resistance with some strains showing resistance to both fluoroquinolones and cephalosporins. Indian Academy of Pediatrics has set up a National Task Force under IAP Action Plan 2006 to form a uniform guideline on management of enteric fever, particularly antibiotics to be used, which can be followed by all members of IAP in general. The list of the members who took part in the workshop is given in Annexure I.
The correct and rapid diagnosis of enteric fever is of paramount importance for instituting appropriate therapy and also for avoiding unnecessary therapy.
Complete Blood Count (CBC)
For practical purposes the CBC in enteric fever is unremarkable. The hemoglobin is normal in the initial stages but drops with progressing illness. Severe anemia is unusual and should make one suspect intestinal hemorrhage or hemolysis or an alternative diagnosis like malaria. The WBC count is normal in most cases and leukocytosis makes the diagnosis less probable. Leukopenia perceived to be an important feature of typhoid fever and has been reported in only 20-25% cases(1). The differential count is usually unremarkable except for eosinopenia. Eosinopenia often absolute may be present in 70-80% cases(2,3). Presence of absolute eosinopenia offers a clue to diagnosis but does not differentiate enteric fever from other acute bacterial or viral infections. Conversely, a normal eosinophil count does make typhoid fever a less likely possibility. Platelet counts are normal to begin with and fall in some cases by the second week of illness. Overall prevalence of thrombocytopenia is around 10-15%(4).
Blood Culture
Blood cultures are the gold standard diagnostic method for diagnosis of enteric fever(5). The sensitivity of blood culture is highest in the first week of the illness and reduces with advancing illness(6). Overall sensitivity is around 50% but drops considerably with prior antibiotic therapy(6). Failure to isolate the organism may be caused by several factors which includes inadequate laboratory media, the volume of blood taken for culture, the presence of antibiotics and the time of collection. For blood culture it is essential to inoculate media at the time of drawing blood.
Salmonella can be easily cultured in most microbiologic laboratories with use of routine culture media (Hartley's media, Blood agar and MacConkey agar). Automated blood culture systems such as BACTEC certainly enhance the recovery rate. Sufficient amount of blood should be collected for culture as the median bacterial count in the peripheral blood is only 0.3 CFU/ml (inter quartile range 0.1 to 10; range, 0.1 to 399)(7). At least 10 mL of blood in adults and 5 mL in children should be collected. Dilution should be appropriate in order to adequately neutralize the bactericidal effect of serum and a ratio of 1:5 to 1:10 of blood to broth is recommended. Clot cultures, wherein the inhibitory effect of serum is obviated have not been found to be of superior sensitivity as compared to blood cultures in several clinical studies(8-10). In the laboratory, blood culture bottles should be incubated at 37°C and checked for turbidity, gas formation and other evidence of growth after 1, 2, 3 and 7 days. For days 1, 2 and 3 only bottles showing signs of positive growth are cultured on agar plates. On day 7 all bottles should be sub-cultured before being discarded as negative.
There are considerable advantages of routine blood cultures in investigation of suspected enteric fever. Not only are they 100% specific, but they also provide information on the antimicrobial sensitivity of the isolate. This is vital in today's scenario of multidrug resistance. Moreover, alternative methods for diagnosis particularly serology are rather unsatisfactory as will be discussed later. Blood cultures may actually turn out to be cheaper and very cost effective in the long run, as positive cultures unequivocally establish the diagnosis of enteric fever and all other investigations for PUO can be safely deferred.
Bone marrow culture
Salmonella typhi is an intracellular pathogen in the reticuloendothelial cells of the body including the bone marrow(5). Studies have revealed that the median bacteremia in the bone marrow is 9 CFU/mL (IQR 1 to 85; range 0.1 to 15,805) compared to 0.3 CFU/mL (IQR 0.1 to 10; range 0.1 to 399) in blood. This bone marrow: peripheral blood ratio which is around 4.8 (IQR 1 to 27.5) in the first week of the illness increases to 158 (IQR 60 to 397) during the third week owing to disappearance of bacteria from the peripheral blood(7). The overall sensitivity of bone marrow cultures ranges from 80-95% and is good even in late disease and despite prior antibiotic therapy(5,11-13).
The invasive nature of bone marrow aspiration deters from its use as a first line investigation for diagnosis of typhoid fever. It is however a very useful and valid investigation in evaluation of PUO wherein the marrow should be inoculated in the culture bottle at the bedside.
Stool, urine and other cultures
Stool specimen should be collected in a sterile wide mouthed container. Specimens should preferably be processed within 2 hours after collection. If there is a delay the specimen should be stored in a refrigerator at 4°C or in a cool box with freezer packs. The sensitivity of stool culture depends on the amount of feces cultured, and the positivity rate increases with the duration of the illness. Rectal swabs should be avoided as these are less successful. Stool cultures are positive in 30% of patients with acute enteric fever(5). For the detection of carriers, several samples should be examined because of irregular shedding of salmonella. Urine cultures are not recommended for diagnosis in view of poor sensitivity(5,14). Other methods such as duodenal string and skin snip culture of rose spots have been reported to be more efficacious than blood cultures but are mainly of academic importance(14-16).
Antimicrobial sensitivity testing
The crucial issue here pertains to fluoroquinolone susceptibility testing. Fluoroquinolones were introduced in 1989 and during the past decade there has been a progressive increase in the MICs of ciprofloxacin in Salmonella typhi and paratyphi(5). Since the current MIC's are still below the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) susceptibility breakpoint, laboratory reports will continue to report Salmonella typhi/paratyphi as ciprofloxacin/ofloxacin sensitive(17). However, use of fluoroquinolones in this scenario is associated with a high incidence of clinical failure(5,17). It has also been demonstrated that resistance to nalidixic acid is a surrogate marker for high cipro-floxacin MIC's, predicts fluoroquinolone failure and can hence be used to guide antibiotic therapy (i.e, if culture results show resistance to nalidixic acid irrespective of the results of ciprofloxacin/ofloxacin sensitivity, quinolones should not be used or if used high doses should be given)(18). Since MIC testing is not within the scope of most laboratories, nalidixic acid susceptibility testing is mandatory to help guide choice of antibiotics.
Serologic tests
Widal test
This test first described by F Widal in 1896, detects agglutinating antibodies against the O and H antigens of Salmonella typhi and H antigens of paratyphi A and B(6,19). The "O" antigen is the somatic antigen of Salmonella typhi and is shared by Salmonella paratyphi A, paratyphi B, other Salmonella species and other members of the Enterobacteriaceae family(20). Antibodies against the O antigen are predominantly IgM, rise early in the illness and disappear early(20). The H antigens are flagellar antigens of Salmonella typhi, paratyphi A and paratyphi B. Antibodies to H antigens are both IgM and IgG, rise late in the illness and persist for a longer time(19,20). Usually, O antibodies appear on day 6-8 and H antibodies on days 10-12 after the onset of disease. The test is usually performed on an acute serum (at first contact with the patient). A convalescent serum should preferably also be collected so that paired titration's can be performed.
Conventionally, a positive Widal test result implies demonstration of rising titers in paired blood samples 10-14 days apart(19). Unfortunately, this criterion is purely of academic interest. Decisions about antibiotic therapy cannot wait for results from two samples. Moreover, antibiotics may dampen the immune response and prevent a rise in titers even in truly infected individuals. Therapeutic decisions have to be generally based on results of a single acute sample. In endemic areas, baseline anti O and anti H antibodies are present in the population owing to repeated subclinical infections with Salmonella typhi/paratyphi, infections with other Entero-bacteriaceae and other tropical diseases such as dengue and malaria(19-21). These antibody titers vary with age, socio economic strata, urban or rural areas and prior immunization with the TAB vaccine. Establishing appropriate cut offs for distinguishing acute from past infections is thus important for the population where the test is applied. In one study from Central India, anti O and anti H titer of more than 1:80 was seen in 14% and 8% respectively of a study sample of 1200 healthy blood donors(22).
While interpreting the results of the WIDAL test, both H and O antibodies have to be taken into account. There is controversy about the predictive value of O and H antibodies for diagnosis of enteric fever. Certain authorities claim that O antibodies have superior specificity and positive predictive value (PPV) because these antibodies decline early after an acute infection(23). Other studies report a poorer positive predictive value of O antibodies probably due to rise of these antibodies in other salmonella species, gram-negative infections, in unrelated infection and following TAB vaccination(21). For practical purpose and for optimal result this test should be done after 5-7 days of fever by tube method and level of both H and O antibodies of 1 in 160 dilution (four fold rise) should be taken as cut off value for diagnosis. H antibodies once positive can remain positive for a long time.
The Widal test as a diagnostic modality has suboptimal sensitivity and specificity(19-21). It can be negative in up to 30% of culture proven cases of typhoid fever. Sub optimal sensitivity results from negativity in early infection, prior antibiotic therapy and failure to mount an immune response by certain individuals(19). Poor specificity, an even greater problem and is a consequence of pre-existing baseline antibodies in endemic areas, cross reactivity with other Gram-negative infections and non-typhoidal salmonella, anamnestic reactions in unrelated infections and prior TAB or oral typhoid vaccination. The purity and standardization of antigens used for the WIDAL test is a major problem and often results in poor specificity and poor reproducibility of test results(19). The slide Widal test should also be discouraged owing to high rate of false positives(20).
Not withstanding these problems, the WIDAL test may be the only test available in certain resource poor set ups for diagnosis of enteric. In Vietnam, using a cutoff of >1/200 for the O agglutinin or >1/100 for H agglutinin test performed on acute-phase serum the Widal test could correctly diagnose 74% of blood culture positive typhoid fever, however 14% results would be false positive and 10% false negative(21). Hence, it is important to realize the limitations of the Widal test and interpret the results carefully in light of endemic titers so that both over diagnosis and under diagnosis of typhoid fever and the resulting consequences are avoided(24).
Other serologic tests
In view of the limitations of the Widal test and need for a cheap and rapid diagnostic method, several attempts to develop alternative serologic tests have been made. These include rapid dipstick assays, dot enzyme immuno-assays and agglutination inhibition tests(25-27).
Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA) test or Typhidotâ test: A dot enzyme immunoassay that detects IgG and IgM antibodies against a 50 KD outer membrane protein distinct from the somatic (O), flagellar (H) or capsular (Vi) antigen of Salmonella typhi is commercially available as Typhidotâ(27). The sensitivity and specificity of this test has been reported to vary from 70-100% and 43-90% respectively(28-33). This dot EIA test offers simplicity, speed, early diagnosis and high negative and positive predictive values. The detection of IgM reveals acute typhoid in the early phase of infection, while the detection of both IgG and IgM suggests acute typhoid in the middle phase of infection. In areas of high endemicity where the rate of typhoid transmission is high the detection of specific IgG increase. Since IgG can persist for more that 2 years after typhoid infection(34) the detection of specific IgG can not differentiate between acute and convalescent cases. Furthermore, false positive results attributable to previous infection may occur. On the other hand IgG positivity may also occur in the event of current reinfection. In cases of reinfection there is a secondary immune response with a significant boosting of IgG over IgM, such that the later can not be detected and its effect masked. A possible strategy for solving this problem is to enable the detection of IgM by ensuring that it is unmasked(35). The original Typhidotâ test was modified by inactivating the total IgG in the serum samples. Studies with modified test, Typhidotâ M, have shown that inactivation of IgG removes competitive binding and allows the access of the antigen to the specific IgM when it is present.
The Typhidotâ M that detects only IgM antibodies of Salmonella typhi has been reported to be slightly more specific in a couple of studies(26,33).
IDL Tubexâ test: The Tubexâ test is easy to perform and takes approximately 2 minutes time(36). The test is based on detecting antibodies to a single antigen in S. typhi only. The 09 antigen used in this test is very specific found in only sero group D salmonellae. A positive result always suggest a salmonellae infection but not which group D salmonella is responsible. Infection by other serotypes like S. paratyphi A give negative result. This test detects IgM antibodies but not IgG which is further helpful in the diagnosis of current infections.
IgM dipstick test(26): The test is based on the binding of S. typhi specific IgM antibodies to S. typhi lipopolysaccharide (LPS) antigen and the staining of the bound antibodies by an antihuman IgM antibody conjugated to colloidal dye particles. This test will be useful in places where culture facilities are not available as it can be performed without formal training and in the absence of specialized equipments. One should keep in mind that specific antibodies appear a week after the onset of symptoms so the sensitivity of this test increases with time.
Antigen detection tests: Enzyme immuno-assay's, counterimmune electrophoresis and co-agglutination tests to detect serum or urinary somatic/flagellar/Vi antigens of Salmonella typhi have been evaluated(37-40). Sensitivity of Vi antigen has been found to be superior to somatic and flagellar antigen and has been reported as ranging from 50-100% in different studies(37-40). Similarly, specificity estimates have been reported to vary from 25-90%(37-40). The suboptimal and variable sensitivity and specificity estimates, inability to detect Salmonella paratyphi infection and Vi antigen negative strains of S typhi are serious limitations of the Vi antigen detection tests.
Molecular methods
The limitations of cultures and serologic tests advocate for development of alternative diagnostic strategies. PCR as a diagnostic modality for typhoid fever was first evaluated in 1993 when Song, et al. successfully amplified the flagellin gene of S. typhi in all cases of culture proven typhoid fever and from none of the healthy controls(41). Moreover, some patients with culture negative typhoid fever were PCR positive suggesting that PCR diagnosis of typhoid may have superior sensitivity than cultures. Over the next 10 years a handful of studies have reported PCR methods targeting the flagellin gene, somatic gene, Vi antigen gene, 5S-23S spacer region of the ribosomal RNA gene, invA gene and hilA gene of Salmonella typhi for diagnosis of typhoid fever(42-50). These studies have reported excellent sensitivity and specificity when compared to positive (blood culture proven) and healthy controls. The turn- around time for diagnosis has been less than 24 hours.
These reports should be viewed within the context of certain limitations. Clinical utility of PCR tests has been inadequately evaluated. Performance of the test in individuals with febrile illnesses other than typhoid, in those with past history of typhoid, carriers of S typhi, and those vaccinated with typhoid vaccine is not known. Patients with a clinical diagnosis of typhoid fever who are culture negative but PCR positive may in fact be false positives. Comparison of PCR to bone marrow cultures as a gold standard may be a superior way of evaluating the sensitivity and specificity of these tests, but has not been done. The tests claim to detect as few as 10 organisms, but it should be remembered that in typhoid the median bacteremia is 0.3 CFU/ml of blood(7). Using small volumes of blood for DNA extraction may significantly lower the sensitivity of these tests. The cost and requirement for sophisticated instruments is also a potential drawback of molecular methods.
The complete blood count is the logical first investigation. Presence of a normal or low leukocyte count with eosinopenia points to possible enteric fever. It also helps in evaluation of alternative diagnoses such as malaria, dengue and other bacteremias. Blood culture remains the most effective investigation for diagnosis of enteric till date. They should be sent early in the course of the illness and prior to starting antibiotic therapy. Susceptibility testing for nalidixic acid should be routinely done for all isolates to aid choice of antibiotics. Bone marrow culture is a highly sensitive diagnostic test even in late stages of the illness and with prior antibiotic therapy. It should be performed in all patients with prolonged pyrexia if routine investigations have failed to establish a diagnosis. The Widal test has several limitations and should be requested for in the second week of the illness and its results interpreted with caution.

A thorough scrubbing is a must before painting any exterior surface. It removes the dirt and broken-down paint residues that keep fresh coats from adhering and gets rid of mildew that grows on paint in all but the most arid climates. Most contractors clean with pressure washers, but in the hands of someone unfamiliar with the equipment, these can gouge wood, shatter glass, and drive water behind siding and trim. Using a hose, a pump sprayer, and a scrub brush is slower but safer, and just as effective.
Since 1980, House Painting Inc. has aimed for excellence in painting contractor services. Our painters specialize in extensive prep work for the best finished painting results. We respond quickly to customer requests for estimates and job starts. We have earned our reputation as the best painting company in Los Angeles, Pasadena, Santa Monica and the surrounding area.
With songs that varied in tone from light acoustic numbers to more powerful, though still restrained, plugged-in tracks,The Red House Painters established themselves as one of the premier indie rock outfits of the mid-'90s. Led by singer/songwriter Mark Kozelek the Painters documented the dark and dirty side of human nature. Without using the safety net provided by metaphor, Kozelek, a self-professed agoraphobic with a ghostly voice reminiscent of Tim Buckley, airs myriad insecurities and emotional inconstancies over his quartet's skeletal backing.
For interior paint I prefer the semi-gloss, provides a very subtle sheen and is super easy to clean -no flaking, chipping, etc. I've painted a lot, and found that Sherwin Williams Ovation paint has been the easiest to use, and provides the best coverage. I even painted my ceilings with it and WOW! I was done it no time at all, with perfect coverage.
First off all clients want a "deal" As a painting contractor for 38 years I can tell you that residential-commercial-industrial clients (and their needs are all diffrent. It seems this discussion mostly concerns residential repaints,so here goes--first off ALWAYS get a personal referance from a friend or co-worker. Always get an itemized contract that specifies the prep,color, number of coats, and specifics on payment. Remember you want to set up a relationship with the painting contractor of your choice. Bond, license and insurance are required to get a contractors license and are readily available online at your state Labor and Industries website. Second-- find someone you trust. He or his crew will probably be left alone in your home for most of the time. I always tell my clients that I wont bring someone to their home I wouldnt have in mine. Third--$$ Dont ever pay up front always insist on progress draws if the project is 2 or 3 phases remember If a contractor wants $3000 to do the job and you give him half up front he will be working for $1500. It WILL affect the quality of the product. In 38 years of business I have never taken a deposit and have never not been paid in full remember do what you said you would do for exactly what you said it would cost and there will be no problems with getting paid. one last reminder to clients you are also being evaluated when you interview a contractor. He is sizing you up as well. If he thinks you are a bit sketchy the the price will go up or he wont take the job at all. I have turned down some jobs that looked very profitable on the surface that turned out not to be so.(word gets around fast in the small painting community) Good Luck to clients and contractors

• One room or the whole house? Applying one coat in one room is a reasonable DIY Saturday project (especially if you have help and beer). Multiply the time spent moving furniture, prepping walls and sanding old trim by the number of rooms in the house, and you might want to hire real help. It's the same outside. You can probably tackle one shady garage wall that needs a little scraping and sanding plus a coat of paint, but covering all surfaces of the house is usually best left to a pro.
Lap marks are those ugly stripes caused by uneven layers of paint buildup. They occur when you roll over paint that's already partly dry. (In warm, dry conditions, latex paint can begin to stiffen in less than a minute!) The key to avoiding lap marks when doing DIY wall painting is to maintain a "wet edge," so each stroke of your roller overlaps the previous stroke before the paint can begin to dry.

Here is where this affects you as a consumer. You select a painter with a contract that says 2 coats, $500 down. You give the company the deposit and pick your colors a couple of days before the project starts. The painter goes to the store with your colors and figures out they are deep base. He (or she) not only needs to charge you more for the paint, but he also needs to charge you for a dark gray primer coat. Ninety nine percent of the time that primer coat is going to be really, really expensive since you already gave a deposit.

Once you've decided on a house painting project, you'll need to choose your color. There's no set rule here to guide you. The wide variety of colors to choose from, and the combinations that are available when it comes to trim, doors, and other extras, make this choice mostly a personal one. One of the best ways to get pointed in the right direction is to drive around your town and neighborhood looking for homes that catch your eye. Try to figure out what it is about them that turned your head. Maybe they did something you didn't like (i.e. stay away from that color, style, look, etc.), maybe the color combinations really speak to you (a light body with dark trim or vice versa), and maybe it's just how they accented certain parts of the house that you like. Make note of all these things so that you can keep them in mind as you get your own house painting project underway.
I had florida home painters paint my tri level. Joe is a nice guy and owner who quoted the job. He was very helpful and gave us a paint sample book to choose from. He help to suggest colors for the patio floors which was a nice compliment to the color of the house. His crew was fast and clean during the painting process. They used quality sherwin Williams paint the whole experience was great i would recommend checking them out for a quote

This process includes a color, paint, and finish consultation to help you choose the perfect tone (or tones) for your project.

When you're ready to tackle your next paint project, we offer an amazing choice of colors from top paint brands, at the best price, and expert know-how to help you do the job right. Start outside by taking an inventory of your siding and trim. If your paint is fading or peeling off your siding, start the prep work by repairing the siding and trim with some waterproof patching compound. Once dry, sand and apply primer. Then, repaint those areas until your exterior looks fresh and clean.
To paint a large section without leaving lap marks, roll the nearly dry roller in different directions along the dry edge, feathering out the paint as you go. After completing the entire length of the wall or ceiling, move to the next section and paint over the feathered edges. For the second coat, apply the paint in the opposite direction. This crisscrossing paint application sharply reduces (if not eliminates) lap marks.
Steve, not only did you come off with an edge regarding the article written for Angie's list but you came awfully close to being slanderous. The article was written if you will have read his bio by a very well established professional painter. The issue regarding the deposit was put in question by a responder. I have read your response in full as you suggested, and companies as large as yours are just as likely to use the tricks of the trade as the small guy as you suggest, if not more so. A large company has less oversight and workers get lazy with the boss not looking over their shoulder. I have had experience in this area, and thought that i was dealing with a very reputable company that had been recommended by a couple friends, my insurance company, and my adjuster who had dealt with the company. I had terrible problems with the company, who do full restorations and like your company paint in all areas. To finalize your statement that Established businesses do not cheat customers is completly false and is a very misleading statement. I am suprised that Angies list allowed you to post such an outragious comment. All you have to do is look in the Civil lawsuits section of the Established businesses that are being sued or are under investigation for fraud and cheating their customers!
I am a painting contractor and have been since 2001. Make sure the estimate provides in writing: What is EXCLUDED as well as INCLUDED. It should state the manufacturer and type of paint going to be used. Estimate says ALL LABOR AND MATERIALS. My estimates to my customers say "guaranteed coverage" eliminates the conversations of 1 coat vs 2 coat. I have my customers submit colors 5 days prior to start date. Customers need to inform me if they are going to use pure white, dark reds, oranges, and bright yellows they need to inform me in that 5 day window, so I can adjust my pricing for 3 coats. Although this more uncommon now than years past because a lot of paint manufacturers have primer with paint products. Let the contractor know if your doing accent walls. This takes longer to cut in straight lines and it requires the contractor to purchase more paint. If you add anything on the scope of work have the painter write out the description and cost prior to them doing the work. Have the estimate say how many days it will take to perform the work. Ask how many workers will be doing the job. Make sure to enforce that number of workers their everyday until the job is complete. Do not give final payment until you do a final walk through. Walk the job when its almost complete and point out areas that you want fixed prior to the contractors final walk through. Its best to do while the workers are still in that particular area as they will have tarps down and areas covered and it will be easier for them to take care of. Purchase a roll of blue tape and stick it to areas that you want fixed. This is called a punch list.
my grandfather was a painter and he taught me the importance of quality workmanship and it shows in every job I do my customers are happy with a beautiful job every time. I thoroughly enjoy the work that I do and your satisfaction is very important to me. If a neat and clean quality paint job is what you're looking for then I am definitely your guy ,thanks !

Small random-orbit or pad sanders make this job go faster. (Wallis first covers these boundaries with Synkoloid patching compound so no edge is visible after sanding.) As shown, you want to make sure that there is a feathered, smooth transition from exposed wood to old paint. For areas that might get close scrutiny, you can follow up with a 100- or 120-grit rubdown to erase any scratches.

While en route from Austin to Lubbock, Shane Smith & the Saints tour bus caught on fire this afternoon. All members of the band and crew made it out of harm's way in time and remain unscathed.
It is unknown what started the bus fire, but its flames engulfed the bus, trailer, and equipment in their entirety. The band lost everything from merch to instruments.
Shane Smith & the Saints announced the show tonight at Cook's Garage (Lubbock) will still go on. Cook's Garage posted to their social media 100 percent of the door fees will go directly to the band in aid of this tragedy.
They are also scheduled to perform this Friday in Oklahoma City and Saturday in Wichita with Koe Wetzel.
Help support this spirited and deserving band by attending any of their upcoming album tour shows, especially tonight at Cook's Garage— and may we all say a "Hail Mary" that everyone is alright.

Buy A Windows Phone From Amazon, Get A $25 Gift Card
If you have been looking into getting a smartphone powered by Windows Phone 7 on any of the big four U.S. mobile carriers, then you probably want to take a look at the offer that Amazon is hosting right now through June 30th.
Windows Phone 7 devices at the online retailer, some currently as low as a penny, will be coming with a $25 Amazon gift card which will be sent by email five days after the purchase is made. Amazon's deal includes Verizon's new HTC Trophy, Sprint's relatively recent HTC Arrive, as well as some of the old favorites like AT&T's Samsung Focus and T-Mobile's HTC HD7.
Sadly, it doesn't look like AT&T's upcoming HTC HD7s will be included in the offer, although that could change once it's released on June 5th. If you're interested in Amazon's deal – and you should be if you're going the Windows Phone 7 route – you can find the phones and the deal right here.

Looking for a Plumber You Can Trust in Gulfport, MS?
We are just one call away!
This system can have various different designs but they'll all share a likeness of the cold and hot pipes carving and going into different directions. One example is a home where the cold and hot water come from the exact same location but split off for into pipes for the first floor of the home and then split off in an alternate way to create separate cold and hot pipes for the second floor fixtures. This residential plumbing system is more efficient for supplying hot and cold water to the fixtures that are much away but it does make it more complicated for plumbers to create repairs.
Selecting a contractor to perform your building, home improvement and repair job is not always the simplest thing in the world. I'm sure that every one of us has a process to make a pick, be it making an online research and checking several directories, counting on recommendations from family and friends, or using their instinct and choosing the company you are feeling like dependable and experienced enough. There are still several simple and basic, yet very powerful ways to be certain that you are making the best selection.
Human civilizations took more than 4500 years to develop contemporary plumbing system. Early communities like Indus Valley civilization and Egyptians started working on the creation of copper pipes 4000 years past.
There are a number of problems that may happen in the plumbing system that if left unfixed could become a big and expensive problem. Thus, it is more efficient to detect and repair plumbing problems as early as possible. For instance, noisy water pipes can evolve into a serious problem that will be significantly more expensive to repair. Rattling pipes, or water hammer, can have a sound that's a light tap kind, or slamming like a drum sound, or even a high squealing sound. This could be as a result of free water pipes or water in the air chambers. If left untreated, it can cause serious damage to the plumbing system. For example, if it is a forced water heating system problem, damage could eventually happen if the system isn't purged which could lead to permanent damage that will be extremely pricey to replace.
To conclude, it is easy to see that hiring an inexperienced contractor for your plumbing needs is a danger that is unnecessary that you take. There are a lot of plumbers around who are experienced enough to provide you with the quality that you really want at a price that you simply have earned. So only do a little bit of research before you hire someone, and you will certainly see the advantages in the future.
How To Go About Choosing The Best Plumber in Gulfport Mississippi
Then, when they show up, the most crucial feature comes in to play. Are they friendly and professional? Are they smiling even though it's so late and messy? Will they give you straight answers and upright estimates immediately, and be willing to place it in writing for you? Truthfulness is really the best policy, plus an excellent contractor will always speak with you in a friendly and straightforward way. If they don't, beware.
This around the clock availability results in the next thing to look for in your rescue staff. Are they accessible at all hours? Saying you are and actually picking up the telephone are two different matters. Do they offer at least two amounts, one for regular business hours and one for after hours? That is what you're searching for. And if they advertise dispatch vans, all the better for quick answers.
The gas card is very important, on the front of the card is an image of the neighborhood gas plumber, if the picture is not of the person facing you, then ask them where their one is. The individual who'll be carrying out the gasoline work has to carry his own card with him all the time while working.

Fact is there are plumbing issues which are minor and you can readily take care of or keep under control until you get a professional to help out. Before calling in emergency plumber services, be certain that it's genuinely an emergency of an issue that's beyond you.
So as you can see a plumber is actually vital that you your daily living. Yet, a lot of plumbers are getting bad reputations since they're not wanted daily. But now which you have read this let's hope you realize that they supply an extremely useful service to the current society. Without your plumber you would not be able to relish all of the comforts of today. Also if there are any problems you would need to deal with them on your own which doesn't always work.
Hopefully this article has shown you that anyone can find out the way to clear clogged drains without calling a plumber (at least most of the time). With the majority of plumbers charging well over $100 per hour, this one simple ability could save you a bundle.
Plumbing doesn't only pertain to water. In addition, it pertains to other things like the water heating tank and also the washing machine. The toilet isn't the single thing that is going to desire a small up keep. You have to be aware of all that is occurring in your house to not get in to a large heavy scenario in the long run.

I'm A Celebrity 2019: Why is Cliff ruled out of Bushtucker Trials?
I'M A CELEBRITY 2019 has seen several celebs take on the daunting Bushtucker Trials so far this series. However, Cliff Parisi has been ruled out of a handful on medical grounds.
EastEnders fans were overjoyed when soap legend Cliff Parisi was unveiled as one of the late arrivals joining I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! this year. Entering the Australian jungle alongside Coronation Street's Andy Whyment, fans were eager to see Cliff put to the test in the show's Bushtucker Trials. So when it was revealed he was ruled out of some, I'm A Celeb viewers quickly wondered why.
During his first appearance on the show, Cliff had no problems getting stuck into a trial with Andy.
On Thursday, November 21, Andy and Cliff were subject to a trial each in Ol' Dingo Town.
Cliff entered Buffalo Bill's Bungalow and was tasked with finding stars while in the company of some rather unpleasant creepy crawlies.
The 59-year-old did well, retrieving three out of five possible stars – so why hasn't he done one since?

I'm A Celebrity 2019: Why has Cliff been ruled out of Bushtucker Trials?
Ant and Dec explained the reasons for Cliff being ruled out of some of the Bushtucker Trials on Tuesday, November 26.
The duo entered camp to reveal which star would take part in Deadly Dungeon.
Deadly Dungeon consisted of "two celebrities shackled together and dumped into total darkness."
It was Ian Wright and James Haskell who were voted by the public but only after Ant said Cliff was ruled out "on medical grounds."
Ant and Dec didn't divulge any further information regarding the medical grounds which ruled Cliff out.
Express.co.uk has contacted ITV for comment regarding Cliff's exclusion.
Cliff himself hasn't spoken openly about any ongoing conditions either.
Nevertheless, the fact Cliff was only ruled out of a handful of trials has left fans scratching their heads, especially as he was permitted to take on a Dingo Dollar Challenge with Adele Roberts in the same episode.
It also left a number of I'm A Celeb viewers drawing comparisons with one of last year's fan-favourite contestants.
In 2018, The Chase's Anne Hegarty found herself ruled out of several trials on the same basis.
The similarities were quickly picked up on by ITV viewers, as one tweeted: "Hearing Cliff is ruled out on medical grounds brings back memories, miss u Anne x"
A second also noticed the trend and said alongside a photo of Anne: "Cliff excluded on medical grounds again... brings back flashbacks #ImACeleb."

While a third couldn't help but add: "Ruled out on medical grounds – Cliff is Anne Hegarty 2.0."

If we could grasp the intersection of the spirit realm and science, what difference would it make in our daily lives?
This groundbreaking work reveals how science, God, the spirit realm, and quantum physics all function together. When you discover how to tap into these supernatural frequencies, you can operate in greater dimensions of spiritual power.
Through these pages, you will:Gain a greater authority in your prayer life and become more effective in intercessory warfareUnderstand how miracles are released and how you can access the power of GodExperience a renewed sense of wonder at the God of Creation and bring your worship to new dimensionsOperate in increased levels of discernment, recognizing the difference between sound science reinforcing Kingdom truth, and pseudo-science mixed with deceptive thoughtGrow in confidence to share your faith using the concepts of science and the supernatural to address people's relevant questions about God
When you understand the Quantum science of the supernatural, you will be equipped with keys that unlock new measures of Kingdom power, intercessory authority and supernatural miracles in your life!
To walk in this kind of supernatural lifestyle, we must first be immersed in the fire of the Holy Spirit—a powerful encounter with the living Presence of God Himself!
Dr. Frank Sizer's life has been marked by these types of power encounters with God. It was through these experiences that his eyes were opened to the reality of the supernatural realm, where we can partner with God to see His Kingdom released with power!
In these pages, Dr. Sizer offers teaching that will empower you to:Position yourself for new dimensions of Holy Spirit encounters. Draw near to God by functioning in your New Testament priestly identity. Stand victoriously against the spiritual attacks that come with power encounters. Partner with God's apostolic plan for Holy Spirit outpouring.
Get ready to position yourself for dynamic power encounters that usher you into a supernatural life with the Holy Spirit!
Having the Holy Spirit live inside of you is an incredible honor; however, in order to walk out a lifestyle of supernatural power, you need to learn how to partner with the Spirit and see His manifest Presence rest upon you every day!
The evidence is clear to any who are willing to view the record: Anton LaVey brought Satan out of the closet and the Church of Satan is the fountainhead of contemporary Satanism. This book summarizes the message both convey, and remains both challenge and inspiration, as timely today as when it was written.

Will Ford's New SUV-focused Strategy Deliver Results?
People wanting to start trading could have a bit of a hesitation. But with commission free trading, trading stocks has been made lot more attractive for newcomers. But once you've gained experience and moved to greater stocks and trades, you need to observe the pattern of the companies whose stocks you're interested in. Any moves they make could determine the performance of their stocks in the market. The fiercely competitive automobile market is an example.
The New Escape Is at the Heart of Ford's Strategy Change
Ford ($F) seems to be making a strategy change. It isn't anything dramatic, but the styling of the new 2020 Ford Escape SUV gives an indication of the design change the company is making. The new Escape looks less of an SUV and more of a compact car on steroids, specifically a Focus on steroids. Ford is doing that to appeal to customers who still love compact cars. Ford doesn't want to focus more on sedans but rather on SUVs, and a compact SUV with a more hatchback design is expected to attract hatchback lovers too. That's why the new design does away with the boxy lines and, instead, has more curved and rounded proportions, mimicking the Focus launched in China and Europe.
Even the outgoing Escape was based on the Focus, but Ford ensured its design didn't quite show that connection. But the new Escape clearly reveals its origin. The Focus is no longer there in the US market, and SUVs are the primary focus of Ford. Prospective customers longing for the compact Focus or cars in that category should satisfy themselves with the rounded proportions of the Escape. This is Ford's strategy to improve its profit margins. But will it work?
Another SUV on the C2 Focus Platform
For one, this strategy could even estrange hardcore compact SUV lovers. But Ford has a plan for that too, in the form of a compact version of the Bronco. The Bronco is a hardcore truck-based SUV, but the yet-to-be-launched baby Bronco is also based on the new Focus C2 platform. Still, according to a leaked image in the Motley Fool article by John Rosevear, the compact Bronco looks every bit as tough as an SUV should look like.
So Ford should be able to satisfy potential customers looking for a compact SUV, while those missing the Focus should settle for the more SUV-like but clearly Focus-shaped Escape. Rosevear reckons the baby Bronco could be called "Maverick." But it could take late 2020 or early 2021 for the product to get to the US markets from its probable place of manufacture – Hermosillo, Mexico.
Higher Pricing Leaves a Massive Void
Ford seems to have its bases covered, but there is a catch in terms of the pricing. The new Escape costs significantly more than the departed Focus which started at $21,415. The new Escape has a starting price of $26,080. The only model that is close to the earlier Focus is the EcoSport crossover with a price tag of $21,090, which is smaller and generally not a popular model. Fortunately, Ford has the Fusion sedan but that too starts at $24,165. The new Escape is spacious, comes with high tech features and also has the option of a hybrid. But being significantly more expensive than the departed Focus, Ford has a void in that price range which, Rosevear fears, could lead customers to look elsewhere.

Sewanee - The University of the South
#1 Best Colleges with No Application Fee in Tennessee
- 4 Year
- Sewanee, TN
- 412 reviews
Niche User: My son is a freshman and is truly enjoying Sewanee! He wanted to attend a small school where his professors would know his name, and so far, this has been the case. His teachers are very engaged and want to help him be successful. The campus is very pretty with many scenic views and historic stone buildings. The cafeteria offers lots of dining choices. It's so much better than I expected.
My only complaint so far is housing. The dorms are some of the WORST I have seen. My son is sharing a TINY, run down, unairconditioned room with 2 roommates. No AC in the south!! I can't believe it! All the electrical outlets in his room need to be replaced. He has to tape his fan, TV, frig… into the outlet so that it stays connected. Otherwise, the plug falls from the wall. I think this is a fire hazard. I expected more for $40K. Sadly, the town is so remote, students are forced to live on campus. The school needs to spend some money on housing!

It's not the easiest school to transition to if you are 23 and older. They could open up to older adults more instead of Students fresh out of High-school. The tuition is high since it is a private school but scholarships are available. The food is pretty good. The campus is beautiful and easy to walk. More parking would be nice.

Sophomore: Walters State (specifically the Morristown campus) is an exceptional school. The class sizes are very reasonable (15-30 depending), the teachers are outstanding, and the campus is really beautiful. The greatest assets of the school are the numerous resources available to allow and ensure the success of the pupil. There is a gigantic library with two large computer labs, dozens of unique study spaces, and a friendly staff ready and willing to assist. There is a math lab that is always open to help out students in need. The proctor, Beth Dixon, is a priceless gem of a woman. She is so sweet, so smart, and SO helpful. I could go on and on about this school. If you haven't already checked it out, do yourself a favor and schedule a tour. you're going to love it!

College Junior: I like the fact that my teacher for the Medical Assistant program has talked with me on a regular basis before the program even starts. She motivates me to come to school and to be better for myself. She is the sole reason I have decided to go back to school. This shows me that this school is truly dedicated to making each student the best they can be and to be as successful as possible. They offer a program that allows me to still work full time but also go back to school and finish my career!

Sophomore: One thing I like about Jackson State Community College is that they are very helpful. With it being a small school your classes would not be as big as a university, so you will be able to have a lot of one on ones with your teachers for better understanding. One thing i think I would like to see a change in is them having a bigger variety in sports other than that everything is great!
