What does Money-back guarantee mean?
As a way of proving to their clients that the company can provide a satisfaction guaranteed hosting service, hosting companies offer money-back guarantees as a "bond of trust" to their clients. Actually, this guarantee is one of the marketing strategies employed by most companies especially those that sell their services to clients. The money-back guarantee, more aptly called as the "satisfaction guarantee", is intended as a seal of customer satisfaction and promise of the delivery of quality service. It basically means that the company assures the client that he shall receive top quality service and total service satisfaction, or else they will give your money back.
Money-back guarantees vary from company to company, some offering a low 15-day money-back guarantee to as high as a 90-day money-back guarantee. This guarantee shall become enforceable, when for whatever reason, the client cancels his subscription with the hosting company before the lapse of the period stipulated in the agreement. This does not mean, however, that the client will receive nothing from the company when the cancellation happens after the agreed money-back guarantee period as some companies also agree to refund their clients a pro-rated amount depending upon the length of time elapsed before the cancellation took effect.
What do I need to know about InMotion's Money Back Guarantee?
InMotion hosting offers a 90-day Money Back guarantee for all their hosting services. This is the company's way of assuring their clients that the company is sure that it can deliver a top quality, satisfaction guaranteed service to their clients. This guarantee means that should, for whatever reason, the client decides to cancel his hosting subscription with InMotion before the 90 day period has lapsed, the company shall refund the client in full for the amount of the hosting service, no questions asked.
Although clients have all the right to cancel their hosting account anytime they want, it does not necessarily mean that you are also free to do it according to your wants and needs. As stipulated in the Terms of Service, though the client can cancel his account anytime, the cancellation policy has made it clear that the client can do so "upon proper notice to the company, prior to the end of the Initial Term or any Term thereafter" (Terms of Service, User Agreement 2.c).
Also included in the Terms of Service, User Agreement 2.c.i-iii, that , one, the client is obliged to pay all the fees and charges accrued prior to the period when the cancellation becomes effective; two, that the company may, but is not obligated to pay or refund the client for all the pre-paid fees for the basic hosting services for the full months remaining after the cancellation was effected and three, that the client is obliged to pay fully for all the other services, other than the basic hosting fee, for each month of the remaining term.
The cancellation will usually become effective 30 days after the proper notice of cancellation, the official Cancellation Request form shall have been received by the company.
What is meant by InMotion's 90-day Money Back guarantee?
InMotion's 90-day Money Back guarantee is the guarantee for a full refund of all the fees that is paid by the client in connection with the hosting service before the 90 days after the Initial Term started has lapsed. However, the term "full refund" does not necessarily mean it shall include fees paid that are not connected with the basic hosting service and is deemed Non-Refundable. This is what is meant by the phrase "in connection with the hosting service". These non-refundable services are, but not limited to:
Free Domain Names:
- If the client has registered any domain name under the "Free Domain Name" promotion during the registration process, the refund shall be deducted an amount of $11.99 per year plus a $5 administrative fee. The client, however, gets to retain ownership and control of his domain name.
- Clients who purchased a Dedicated IP address, shall be refunded at a prorated rate, which means that the amount to be refunded shall be based on the period lapsed between the registration date and the date of cancellation and terms of service.
- Other non-refundable fees such as the amount paid for the SSL Services and Domain Privacy.
What should happen if I cancel my InMotion account after the 90 day period has lapsed?
If and when the cancellation takes place after the 90-day period has elapsed, clients will be refunded, subject to the following conditions:
- The client will receive a pro-rated refund for the fees paid in connection with the hosting service, subject to $11.99 deduction per domain name if the client has registered a domain name under the "Free Domain Name" promo.
- The client shall not be refunded the fees paid for the non-refundable fees;
- The client shall not be refunded the setup fees, which automatically becomes non-refundable after 90 calendar days.

Stalking tends to be bad enough when one person makes it his mission to harass another; gang-stalking takes this concept to an organised, mob level. The effects can be harmful and problematic for the target, resulting in both mental and physical hurt. In extreme cases a person may take drastic action to stop the regular stalking from continuing.
Gang stalking involves an entire group systematically and regularly stalking or harassing the same individual target over a period of time. The intent is to annoy or frustrate the target as much as possible by multiple parties. This makes it extremely hard if not impossible for anyone to pin blame on one party alone as the cause of the harm. The goal is to progressively destroy the peace in the target's daily life.
A frequent result of being harassed on a regular basis is the target becomes constantly stressed from fear or apprehension. The sense of being hunted becomes very familiar as the target feels he always needs to be looking for where the next form of stalking will come from. Because gang-stalking uses multiple persons, its unpredictable nature causes the target to stress even more.
Loss of Control
Because gang-stalking can involve activities that a normal, law-abiding person wouldn't perform, a target can begin over time to feel a loss of control. His life becomes open to someone else's whims with being bothered in public, things being stolen, property being broken into and other interference. The loss of peace starts to feel like a constant sense of being under attack and always being on the defensive.
A Need to Escape
In a drastic attempt to escape harassment, a target can get to a point where he packs his bags and leaves a community. This is an attempt to put distance between himself and the perpetrators in the hope that they are located only in the existing community. Ideally, the target can then locate to a new place with no connection whatsoever to the gang-stalking being suffered.

I honestly think that my Email hides important emails from me,When I am not looking for a specific email its right in front of my face but when I actually need to find an email my 'search' box says its not in my folders.Anyway onto the review for today,If you check my Kitchen you will find a number of bowls & cups that don't match any of the rest of my dishes but that is the way I like it because it gives me a wide selection of bowl sizes to choose from,I recently received a chance to work with a company called CaliBowl who sells Non spill bowls,they have a small built on 'lip' so that when you use a chip to scoop out salsa,dip,ect it will stay on your chip instead of being pushed out of the bowl.
For my review I received one small Green bowl & a Medium red bowl,They are both fantastic I like the material they are made from since they are not glass I have no problem with my daughter carrying them around the house because I know she will not be able to break them or hurt herself in the process of using them.The Calibowls are the perfect size for dips,salsa & even cereal I love using the small green bowl for when I eat cereal.The prices are fantastic as well you can get a four bowl set for $29.99 they come in a assortment of bright bold colors,perfect for parties,BBQ's & More.I have enjoyed using my bowls & look forward to using them at my next BBQ i know my guests will enjoy them as well.The Calibowls are Made of Polypropylene, a plastic polymer that is exceptionally durable,They are Microwave & dishwasher safe & BPA Free.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.Products were Provided by Calibowl for the Review****

Shelter Animals Need a Hero
Generations of veterans have devoted their lives to serving our country. Upon their return home, they often seek a new "mission" and so, the Patriotic Paws program was developed as an additional avenue to save animals and to honor those who've bravely served our country. By adopting a shelter animal, veterans have an opportunity to save a life and to provide the love and attention that a homeless animal needs to thrive. One of the most rewarding aspects of adopting a shelter animal is the simple fact that you're saving a life and giving a deserving animal a new home. It feels great to help an animal in need, and after living in a shelter, your new pet will be especially appreciative of the wonderful life you're going to give him. Many animals end up in shelters because of circumstances beyond their control. They were victims of a death in the family, illness, divorce or a move that didn't include them. Some were displaced by a new baby. Others had pet parents who didn't learn how to train them. And there are those who were left at a shelter because of a behavior problem that their pet parents didn't try to or weren't able to resolve. But make no mistake—a "second-hand" pet is in no way second-rate. Most shelter pets available for adoption are healthy, affectionate animals.
The Benefits of Owning a Pet
Studies have shown that pets provide health and social benefits which, for some veterans, adds to the appeal of owning a pet.
- An animal can fulfill the 'need to be needed'
- Pets increase activity level: dog owners who regularly walked their dogs were more physically active. Physical activity promotes over all good health.
- Pets can decrease: blood pressure, cholesterol levels, triglyceride levels and feelings of loneliness.
- Pets help people feel more social and reduce stress and anxiety levels
Program Details
All qualifying veterans who wish to adopt a dog or cat will receive the following:
- Waived adoption fee, which includes a spay/neuter surgery, microchip, license and vaccinations
- A leash and collar
- A program t-shirt
To qualify, the veteran must supply the following information:
- DD214 form
- Military ID

Pirates and Sharks
Remember the summer of the shark? That was 2001, when the media, feeding on a few high profile incidents, gave Americans the impression that they faced an outbreak of shark attacks, when in fact shark attacks were down. Something similar may be happening today with piracy.
If you're reading the news these days, you are likely under the impression that an explosion of piracy threatens global shipping. But according to statistics kept by the International Maritime Bureau (IMB) piracy is not occurring at an unusual rate this year. (They define piracy as using force to board or attempt to board a ship to commit a crime.) Piracy is up slightly in the last two years but down since 2005. This year's 265 attacks (a projection based on three quarters of data) are just 60% of the level recorded in 2003, when there were 445 attacks. On the other hand, as the chart below shows, the 2000s have seen considerably more piracy than the 1990s. And hijacking has increased substantially this year, up from 15 incidents in 2007 to 50 and counting this year.
Here's a chart showing worldwide incidents of piracy since 1995. The data is from the IMB. The number for 2008 is projected from three quarters of data, so it may be a little off.
In recent years, piracy has more than tripled in the Gulf of Aden and off Somalia -- from 21 attacks in 2003 to 63 through three quarters this year. But that growth is not enough to offset the downturn elsewhere. Bangladesh, Indonesia and the Malacca Straits together saw 207 attacks in 2003 but only 65 last year. The total in those waters this year will be even lower. It's possible that the nature and volume of shipments in the Gulf of Aden along with the prevalence of hijacking there make recent piracy particularly costly. But the IMB's data, at least, provides little evidence for this claim.
Although the cause of the spike in piracy near Somalia is unclear, it coincides with the fall of the Islamic Courts Union, which was chased from power by an Ethiopian invasion that the United States backed. (If you think it's obvious that lawlessness in Somalia caused the outbreak of piracy, then explain why decades of anarchy never before produced piracy of this volume.) Most analysts attribute the drop in attacks in Asia to better cooperative efforts to combat piracy and improved economic conditions.
The big reason piracy has increased in this decade is probably because maritime trade itself grew - from 4 billion tons of cargo in 1990 to 7.4 billion tons in 2006, according to the International Maritime Organization. There are more targets. But piracy's overall effect on trade remains small. One estimate of piracy's annual cost is $16 billion a year. Some say even that estimate is far too high. Maritime commerce back in 2005 had a total value of $7.8 trillion. Note that even the hijacking of an oil tanker in the Gulf of Aden has not much slowed tanker traffic there.
While we are here, it is also worth addressing the alleged piracy-terrorism nexus. In short, there is no evidence that it exists. (Terrorists hijacking a fishing vessel to get to Mumbai does not constitute a nexus.) What about the fact that Somalia, source of so much piracy, is supposed to be the next big al Qaeda base? The truth is, Somalia never had a significant al Qaeda presence, no more than a few guys.
Because the victims of piracy in the Gulf of Aden are foreign-owned ships and because the effect on U.S. consumers is tiny, this is a problem best left to nations that suffer more direct costs or shippers themselves. Americans should encourage multilateral solutions, but should not confuse the problem with one that has great consequences for their welfare.

Reducing energy costs can be easy and the savings can be dramatic. Many energy reducing strategies require no money and little change in routine, while others require large financial commitments. Whether your goal is to save a little on your monthly bills or draw no electricity from the power grid, you can take to turn your goals into reality by learning how to use energy more efficiently, finding low-cost solutions, and making necessary renovations.
Method 1 of 3:
Using Energy More Efficiently
1Keep your vents open. One of the easiest ways to reduce energy costs is to make sure all of your vents are open and unblocked. While many people believe a closed vent will save them money, the opposite is true. Closing the vent changes the temperature in that spot, but it makes the HVAC work that much harder to get the temperature consistent with the temperature on the thermostat.[1]
- Make sure your intake vents have clean air filters. Blocked air filters force the HVAC to work harder to circulate air, which increases your power bills and shortens the life of your HVAC system.
2Use fans strategically. The smart use of fans is a great way to cut down on your energy costs. Because hot air rises and cold air sinks, circulating the air homogenizes the air temperature in the room. Since that's usually what your HVAC is doing, the use of fans allows the HVAC to rest more.[2]
- Ceiling fans or freestanding fans both work for this. In the summer, the ceiling fans should be rotating counterclockwise, and the freestanding fans should be pointing toward the ceiling. In winter, reverse it.
3Wash your laundry in cold water. Up to 90% of your washing machine's energy usage is attributable to heating water. About 13% of a home's energy usage is attributable to heating water and another 13% is attributable to appliances, so this has the potential to cut down on both. [3]
- You should also avoid overfilling your washer. While it doesn't make much of a difference for the washer's energy usage, a cramped drier has to stay on for longer, and that will require more energy.
4Adjust your thermostat when you aren't at home. Simply adjusting your thermostat by about ten degrees for eight hours per day will cut your energy usage by about ten percent. Since you aren't home anyway, those are ten degrees you shouldn't miss.[4]
- Some people are under the impression that the energy spent returning your home to the normal temperature will cancel out the savings from the ten degree adjustment. This is untrue. While it does have an effect, it isn't a large enough effect to cancel out a workday's worth of savings.
- Another sneaky factor that might be raising your energy costs is a distortion in the temperature caused by placing heat sources next to thermostat. If you move heat sources like lamps and televisions away from the thermostat, it will get a more accurate reading of the temperature in your house.
5Turn off surge protectors when not in use. It's a good idea to use surge protectors anyway, as they will save your electrical equipment from the kind of sudden surges in electricity that happen when lighting strikes. But by turning off surge protectors when not in use, you minimize the use of electricity (and production of heat) by large clumps of electronics. [5]Advertisement
Method 2 of 3:
Finding Low Cost Energy Solutions
1Mind the gaps. Sealing the cracks around your windows, doors, and around your foundation sill is a low cost way to put a dent in energy costs. You'll typically use caulk around windows, weather stripping around doors, and aerosol foam to seal large gaps in out of sight areas (such as inside kitchen cabinets).[6]
- Since houses, windows, and doors all come in different sizes, there's no typical cost. But it's pretty standard to use about a half tube of caulk on a typical 24"x48" window. Depending on whether or not a threshold is installed, weather stripping a door will cost about $15-$40 per door. A can of aerosol foam costs a little more than $5.
- If you want a detailed guide on applying caulk to windows, check out the one at Caulk Windows.
2Change your lightbulbs. Replacing your old incandescent bulbs with LED lights or CFLs can provide you with tremendous energy savings on a lightbulb per lightbulb basis. CFLs and LEDs last ten to twenty five times longer than incandescent and they cost about 75% less to operate.[7]
3Plant leafy shrubs and shade trees around your house. Planting small trees and large shrubs around the exterior walls of your home is a surprisingly effective way to cut down on energy costs. This is because they cut down on energy in two ways:[8]
- The proximity of the plants themselves acts as an exterior insulator. They make it harder for the ambient temperature inside of the house to escape.
- Shade trees save energy costs in the summer by shielding your house from the heating effects of the sun.
4Wrap up your water heater. A water heater blanket helps prevent the heat from inside of the water tank from escaping into the air around the water tank. They're usually made from fiberglass, and cost about $20 for a wrap large enough to fit a sixty gallon tank.
5Buy a programmable thermostat. Programmable thermostats save you the trouble of having to remember to cut the thermostat down every day before you leave the house. They have proven savings over conventional thermostats, and are easy to install.[9]
- You can get a programmable thermostat from $25-$250, depending on how much you want to spend.
- Installing a thermostat requires a little more technical competence than sealing windows, but it's still an easy project. You can find a guide at Install a Programmable Thermostat.
Method 3 of 3:
Making Smart Renovations
1Invest in insulation. If your home is uninsulated, you can probably realize significant energy savings by installing some insulation. Installing insulation in the attic is the most typical place where older homes are uninsulated, but if you are conducting an extensive renovation, you might use the opportunity to install insulation in the walls as well.[10]
2Change out your old water heater and furnace. If your water heater and furnace are older than ten years, you can almost certainly find something more energy efficient today. [11]
- Whereas 85% efficient used to be the standard for furnaces, there 98% efficient furnaces being manufactured today. That means that 98% of the fuel the furnace uses is turned into heat.
- If your household is smaller, consider a tankless water heater for energy efficiency. They cost about the same as a conventional water heater, and as long as you don't use a large amount of water, will produce hot water faster and cheaper than a conventional water heater.[12]
3Replace your windows. It will be expensive, and it will take along time to pay for itself, but replacing your old windows with newer, energy efficient windows can bring down your energy bill by about 15%.
4Install solar panels. Solar panels are the most expensive option for reducing your home energy cost, but they can also eliminate it entirely. Although the costs for solar installation have fallen substantially, the upfront costs are still substantial, about $17,000 nationally.[13]
- That number represents an average across states. Many localities will offer more aggressive rebates, tax credits, and incentives. For example, California has over 186 different policies and incentives for consumers to make the solar switch. Kansas has 11.[14]

Save energy using smart technology in homes, offices and hotels
With the winter coming we're looking at ways to save energy using smart technology. This looks at heat and light in our homes, but can be applied to office and hotels too. There is an ever increase in pressure to reduce our use from an environmental impact. There is also the ever increase in energy…read more

The other night, husband and I went for a drive around our new town, looking for a non-chain coffee shop. Personally, I would have just Googled it or looked on Yelp, but he likes to discover things organically, which is always fun (if I'm forced to). I'm a planner at heart, so it's hard for me to do that, knowing we could end up at a 2-star place when there's an amazing place nearby with lavender lattes.
We didn't find a coffee shop, but we did find the most incredible rainbow I've ever seen. It was absolutely huge and incredibly bright; these pictures don't do it justice at all. Of course, we pulled over, and I just happened to have my Nikon with me. Lucky. This landscape is only about two minutes from where we live. Double lucky.
Everything is super green because it's been raining non-stop for weeks.
And what better way to top off a rainbow sighting than with a delicious fudge recipe? There's nothing quite like a batch you can throw together in just a few minutes. But to have it be a fudge that's actually ALMOST GOOD FOR YOU and full of healthy fats?!
If you're a true paleo or vegan veteran, I bet you have these ingredients in your pantry right now.
You Will Need:
-1/4c coconut oil
-1/2c almond butter
-3T raw cacao powder
-2T maple syrup
-3/4t vanilla extract
Blend them in your food processor and freeze for at least an hour in silicone molds. If you don't have molds, spray a glass casserole dish with coconut oil spray or line with parchment paper, freeze for an hour, and cut. Store these in your freezer until you eat them.
These aren't overly sweet, and they're definitely a bit softer/creamier than regular fudge texture… so don't expect an exact fudge replica. But you'll feel great knowing you're eating something that has some nutritional value (:

The Sisters Explore a Different Side to Fuzz with Systers
The Sisters have become known for pushing the boundaries of fuzz-laden psych rock and their latest EP continues the trend. Evan van Zyl gets all hyped up about it after the jump.
Look, I'm going to be honest here and say that this review was just going to be a declarative essay, stating that The Sisters are one of the best bands to come out of South-Africa and that these songs are probably going to be my favourite release of the year. BUT, I've decided to take a day or two, calm down, and attempt to gather my thoughts before I go on the internet saying that these are the best songs you're going to listen to all year.
So that being said, let's get started:
THESE ARE THE BEST SONGS YOU'RE GOING TO LISTEN TO ALL YEAR. (Ed note: Yeah, they're pretty solid)
I know, I know, but seriously. I've had the pleasure of watching The Sisters (Tyla Burnett – Guitar/Drums ; Cam Lofstrand – Drums/Vocals/Guitar) play in Durban for about 4 years now. I can honestly say that I've seen them explore the psychedelic fuzz rock genre from wall to wall. Yet somehow, with Systrs, they tapped into a side of the genre that I have yet to encounter elsewhere.
Cerebral Storm is the first single, and at 5:28 it is one of the most emotive songs I've ever heard, and it doesn't even have goddamn lyrics. With a Small Stone phaser pedal driving the sound, this song is a sombre journey of contemplation across a spectrum that I'm scared to think about. In true Sisters fashion, it ends on a more aggressive note, but that doesn't steal the show, even as the crescendo of the song. I've had the main guitar riff of this song stuck in my head since the first time I heard it live last year.
The second half of the release, Death and Sleeping Are the Same, is probably a bit more of what you'd come to expect of the duo. Fuzzy transitions and bridge sections with heavier and faster choruses. The same tone Cerebral Storm set remains a key feature on this track though. Specifically in the verses (if you could call them that). They come off with the same uncomfortably calm energy, creating a strong contrast for the Big Muff (Fuzz Pedal) ridden choruses. Still no singing though. Just some strange sampling that I can't really decipher.
Although Cam Lofstrand's signature snarl is not present in this release, I can't say I miss it. The very lack of it could well be what adds to the ambience of these tracks, and what propels them away from their usual sound.
Admittedly, I will probably hype this up too much, as it is one of my favourite bands. But I think you'll find this to be one of the more accessible releases to come out of the Durban underground in recent times. With splashes from a vast array of influences, these two complementary tracks have the ability to speak to people who find themselves outside of the psychedelic rock genre pool.

Welcome, Oak Parkers and River Foresters!
The following post is about Monk Parakeet nests found in neighboring towns. If you want to read about a time when Monk Parakeets visited our backyard in south Oak Park, then check out this post: https://neighborhoodnature.wordpress.com/2009/03/19/backyard-parakeets-and-more/
Many of our other Neighborhood Nature blog posts are about nature in Oak Park and nearby Columbus Park (just east of Austin).
Thanks for stopping by!
Eric, Ethan, and Aaron Gyllenhaal & Gail Fisher (our wife/Mom)
(This updated added 12/15/2010.)
Monk Parakeets have a special place in our family's hearts. Although we usually aren't big fans of non-native birds (like Starlings, House Sparrows, and Pigeons), we kind of make an exception for Monk Parakeets. That's because these birds jump started our family's interest in birding when Aaron saw his first Monk Parakeet nest on the south side of Chicago. Plus Monk Parakeets are really cute, as we are reminded when we welcome them to our backyard feeders several times a year. (To read more about Monk Parakeets, go here or here.)
So, this morning we were excited to learn about a new citizen science project that lets ordinary folks help scientists by reporting Monk Parakeet nests. If the scientists get enough citizen reports, they can be certain they have included all the Chicago-area nests in their research. It's called the Chicago Parakeet Project, and the project's home page is here. You can also read a press release here and a news article about the Chicago Parakeet Project here.
Once you've found a nest in the Chicago area, entering data is really simple. You just complete a Survey Monkey form that tells the scientists where the nest is located, what kind of tree or structure the nest was built on, and how many parakeets you saw around the nest, and then you tell them a bit about yourself. It's as simple as that! At this point you can't see your nest data plotted on a map, but the project scientists hope to include those sorts of features in the future.
So, we couldn't wait — we filled out forms for two nests immediately, and then went back to enter some more data when a friend gave us some news about the second nest.
The first nest is in the Austin neighborhood of Chicago. It was built on a utility pole in an alley, and it looks like this:
We first learned about this nest from a Chicago Police officer we met in Columbus Park. He had seen birds in the nest several times, but we did not see any Monk Parakeets while we were there.
The second nest was in Berwyn, Illinois. We had known about it for years, and when I drove past the nest last Friday there was a Monk Parakeet on a nearby wire. The second nest was built in a spruce tree in a residential neighborhood:
Right after we reported this nest, we heard from a friend who told us that the parakeet colony that built this nest had relocated to a tall tower near North Riverside Mall, about a half mile away. Sure enough, we checked it out, and this is what we found:
I saw several Monk Parakeets at this nest, and I heard even more while I was parking near a mall entrance. If you want to see this nest, go to the far south side of the North Riverside Mall parking lot, near the railroad tracks. Be sure to take binoculars or, better yet, a telescope!

Despite reaching a record level of awareness about depression, most people weren't doing anything to deal with it.
We knew information alone would not create the behaviour change necessary for self-help strategies to be an effective treatment.
FCB led a coalition of partners to create The Journal – an online programme that taught people the skills and helped put them into action. It was first self-help solution to integrate advertising, e-learning and live support services in the world.

WHO: Roger White
WHAT: Paintings
WHEN: October 29, 2010 - December 19, 2010
WHERE: Rachel Uffner Gallery
47 Orchard Street (between Grand and Hester)
New York, NY 10002
WHY: Roger White's new works pay a fine attention not only to the shapes he paints, but also to the space between these shapes, directing our eyes to the patterns created in his negative space. While his paintings are abstract, White's use of space makes viewers think about objects and their place in space.
For his second solo outing at the gallery, White will exhibit large-scale oil paintings as well as smaller works on paper, in which he continues his examination of the interstices between representation, abstraction and the tactile sphere of everyday life. While in the past, each of White's abstractions referred to a single patterned object (a quilt, a shirt, and so on), his new paintings suggest groupings of things in their relationships to each other, within the spaces they occupy.

How glass works
Glass is the only building material that not only insulates us from temperature extremes, it can also control the amount of light, heat and noise into and out of our homes. A better understanding of how glass works can help us help you to make the right selection for windows and glass doors in your home.
There are 4 main areas to consider when thinking about glazing for your home:
- Natural light. By choosing the right type of glass you can enjoy your views and natural light while controlling UV and glare.
- Solar heat gain. Solar heat is generated when sunlight passes through a window and heats the surfaces and air inside a home. Depending where you live homes can benefit from the natural warming effect of solar heat during winter and its reduction during summer. Good design and the appropriate selection of glass for to suit the window's orientation will help keep your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
- Thermal conductivity. When there's a difference in temperature between the inside and outside of your home you have heat flow. The greater the difference between the outside and inside temperature, the greater that flow will be. The right glass selection dramatically improves the insulation and energy efficiency performance of the window.
- Noise Insulation. With the correct selection of glass, the amount of noise that enters your home via windows and glazed doors can be reduced significantly. Double glazing can help here but the type of glass used will have more of an impact.
As with any improvement you make to your home, it is reliant upon other aspects of your home also. Working with our staff at the M.J.Harris Group we can help you to determine the combination of glazing that would give you the best outcome to achieve what you need for your home.

|The reindeer rug is back
This is the time of the year when Cate scours obscure recipe books for the most outrageous Christmas concoctions she can find.
Sure on the surface the recipes are common or garden variety - but she chooses ones that have exotic ingredients that you could possibly find in the spice market in Istanbul – but which of course are nowhere to be found in Vienna.
Although I must say I am much better at finding things than when we first arrived.
So I spend days looking for things like Venezuelan beaver cheese and Costa Rice crab apples. And then the recipe will call for something like a teaspoon of pine nuts but you can only buy them in kilo bags. So the remainder are stored in the cupboard until they go green and furry.
Anyway – I have broken the back of the shopping – which is just as well because nothing is open here on Sundays and all the shops close early on Monday.
All I have to worry about is Cate's 'secret' list. This is the shopping that I do no yet know about and will not be revealed until the last possible moment – when she will say something things like 'Oh by the way I will need….'
And send me off in a mad panic ten minutes before the shops shut.
But I am ready for it.

ooey, gooey blueberries
hearty, piping hot oats
melt-in-your-mouth brown sugar
crunchy, nutty pecans
So much tastiness in a bowl! It's healthy, right at 300 calories, and has kept me full for a solid 4 hours (a feat, trust me).
Blueberry Pie Oatmeal
one bowl
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats (or whatever you have)
1 cup water
1/3 cup blueberries
Dash of cinnamon
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon chopped pecans (optional)
In a microwaveable bowl (I used the trusty ceramic Fiestaware), add oats, water, blueberries, and a dash of cinnamon. No need to stir.
Microwave for 3 minutes, or until oats are bubbly and cooked. Careful, hot! Top with brown sugar and pecans.
Wait 5 minutes to cool. The longest 5 minutes of your life. Enough time to wonder if you should grab those donut holes on the kitchen counter to hold you over. Resist the donuts. Then eat this satisfying, healthy breakfast. :)

If you are interested in either of the world wars, Belgium has a million sites to keep you busy during your visit. If you want to learn about government, it's the home to the European Union. But what most travelers come for is the beer, chocolate, and fries. There are over 1,000 breweries in this little country and Belgium brewers were some of the first to perfect beer brewing. Belgium's chocolate rivals the Swiss, and the frites will make you look at French fries differently for the rest of your life. This country usually just gets glossed over as travelers – a day in Brussels, Bruges, and maybe a trip to Ghent – and then onward, but when you look deeper, you see this country has a great many medieval towns, historical sites, and parks worth sticking around for.

The country has distinctive regions including Dutch-speaking Flanders to the north, French-speaking Wallonia to the south and a German-speaking community to the east.

Things do & see:
Brussels-is the administrative center of the European Union – and an awesome city. Visit the Musées Royaux des Beaux-Arts for its paintings, the magnificent Grand Place, historic Town Hall, cafes, expansive parks, cobblestone streets, amazing beer, and more.
Belgium- though a small country, Belgium certainly has a few culinary aces up its sleeve. Waffles, chocolate, and frites shops in every street. Beer is produced in massive quantities (there are over 1000 breweries here). Belgium is simply the place to indulge in food and beer.
Bruges-is not to be missed. Key attractions include the 14th-century town hall, the Belfry Tower, the Cathedral of the Holy Saviour, its market squares, and canals. It's beautiful. Go visit, though keep in mind it is a bit touristy and can be boring if you are there alone for a few days!
Ghent-is often overlooked compared with other cities in the country, but this university town is charming. To visit the city at its liveliest you should go in July when the largest cultural outdoors festival in Europe, the "Gentse Feesten", takes place with food, music, and street entertainment.
Flanders-was the site of half a million deaths during World War I. There are numerous military cemeteries and 'Missing Memorials' commemorating those of all nationalities who fell in battle. At the museum in Ypres, visitors can discover what it was like to be a soldier in the trenches.
Castles-There are more castles per square mile in Belgium than anywhere else in the world, and with over 3000 to explore, it's hard to know where to start. Castle of Bouillon in the Ardennes is one of the most interesting ones. Other must-sees are Beersel and Gravensteen.
Waterloo-At the site of the famous battle, there is a memorial in the form of a statue of a lion (looking towards France) on a hill, with 226 stairs, called La Butte du Lion. Other attractions related to the battle are the Wellington Museum and the Roman Catholic Church of St. Joseph.
Ardennes Forest-Ardennes Forest is the place to go for skiing or hiking. Aside from sporting pursuits, there is a lot of good meat here: game, wild boar, venison, smoked ham, the region's famous paté, as well as the world-renowned Trappist beers.
Cathédrale Notre-Dame-The Cathedral of Our Lady in Tournai is one of the most striking examples of Romanesque architecture in Europe and is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The cathedral has five towers, magnificent stained-glass windows, and paintings by Rubens and Jacob Jordaens.
Mannenken Pis & Jeanneken Pis-These two iconic sculptures can be found in Brussels and are considered by many as a 'must see'. There is always a group of people checking them out. They are simple, nude male and female children's figures, peeing. The male is often dressed up in costumes. They are pretty weird tourist attractions.
Antwerp Zoo-Located in the center of Antwerp next to the train station, this zoo is a full afternoon attraction. Open since 1843, it is one of the oldest and most famous zoos in the world. There are several exhibits and unusual garden features to be seen, including crazy animal sculptures.
Oostende Fish Market Visserkaai-This is where the Ostend fishing fleet sells their catch. If you're a fan of seafood, this is an awesome place to check out. There are numerous restaurants along the seafront, and you are guaranteed to get a fresh meal.
Cinquantenaire-This museum complex started in 1880 and has continued to expand over the past several years. It lies on the Southeast side of Brussels and is host to the Army Museum, the Auto World Museum, an art museum, and more.
Basilique de Koekelberg-The Basilica of the Sacred Heart is the 5th largest church in the world. In addition to its amazing architecture and impressive art deco, the height offers beautiful views of the city and the surrounding area. The church is very close to the center of town and inexpensive to see.
Canal tour in Bruges-Take a canal trip down the arteries of Bruges. A half hour boat trip on the waterway takes you around secret gardens, picturesque bridges, and ornately designed medieval buildings. This is a perfect way to capture the magic of the city.
Antwerp-The country's second largest city, Antwerp is an excellent shopping location and offers an extraordinary variety of local food and beer for visitors to enjoy. For those interested in art, the Royal Fine Arts Museum houses the world's best collection of the Flemish Masters' works, including the largest group of Rubens masterpieces in existence.

When I ran into Lee Brice right before his Saturday night (April 2) appearance at the ACM Party for a Cause Festival in Las Vegas, I asked him about what his set would be like, if he was doing any duets or cover songs … and that kind of thing.
But all he wanted to talk about was the surprise he had in store for Ginger Gurley Gilbert Ravella, whose husband, Troy Gilbert, was killed in action in Iraq in 2006.
Last year, she had the chance to tell Brice that his song, "I Drive Your Truck," meant so much to her because her husband was forced to sell his third generation family-owned truck before his final deployment.
And it took a while, but Brice found that 1992 Chevy Silverado 1500. He bought it back, cleaned it up and, on Saturday night, they drove it on stage to give it back to Ravella.
I was crying when Brice told me what he was planning before he'd even gone through with it.
Ravella posted on Facebook after the show.
"I am still struggling to find the words, but I am getting inundated with sweet messages and posts about what happened last night here in Vegas at the ACM Party for a Cause. The long story will have to come later, but for now: Last summer during a Folds concert … Lee sang his song 'I Drive Your Truck' right before I spoke.
"He and I connected over the song, and I told him how much we, as fallen families, cling to pieces left of those we love. Troy traded in his old beloved truck for a new one about a month before he found out he was deploying. Things were starting to break on his old one, and he needed a reliable ride. Just a week before he took off for Iraq, he said 'I think we need to sell my new truck. We really can't afford to make payments while I am gone.'"
"So we sold it and he left. After he was killed, I was most certainly grateful Troy took another big thing off my plate after he was gone. Paying for that truck, trying to figure out what to do with it, etc. …
"Years later when Lee's song came out, it wasn't the new truck I wished we still had. It was the old one; — the one that belonged to Troy's Dad first, the one Troy drove for years, the one I knew (my sons) Boston and Greyson would get a kick out of."
When Ravella attended the ACM Party for a Cause, she thought she was there to accept a check for Folds of Honor, a nonprofit organization that provides educational support to spouses and children of America's fallen and wounded soldiers. Brice did present a $40,000 donation to the organization.
"I thought I was going on the big stage to accept a donation from the ACM to Folds of Honor," Ravella wrote later. "Lee pulled us up on stage and started telling the story from last summer, then turned to me and said, 'We found Troy's old truck.' The crowd went wild. My kids and I just stood there in disbelief when Lee asked us to look at the huge teletron screen.
"There it was — a photo of Troy's truck. Then he said, 'It's parked out back.' We all went together past the stage, the lights, the crowds, and it sat there waiting to be returned to its home and to the kids of a hero."
"I cannot express the deepest places my soul has been touched. I woke up this morning and cried into my pillow as the whole evening played over and over in my heart. The humble gratitude I feel is almost unbearable," Ravella wrote. "How could I ever repay such a debt as this to so much people? God's tender love and compassion for our loss continues to overwhelm me."
I hope that when she first got back in that truck, Ravella rolled every window down and that the radio was still playing the same old country station where her husband left it.

What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational Therapy is a client-centred health profession concerned with promoting health and well being through occupation. Occupations are the activities and roles within our daily living that are individually important to us.
Occupational Therapy aims to enable people to safely participate in their everyday living activities. Occupational Therapists do this by working directly on a person's deficits or by using education and modification. Modification can mean the use of equipment or modification of the occupation or physical environment.
Occupational Therapists believe in a holistic approach to treatment and therefore they may work with clients in the hospital, at home, at work, in the community or at school. Occupational Therapists work with all age groups and abilities using a client-centred approach which includes exploring a person's goals and issues.
What type of conditions can Occupational Therapy help with?
Occupational Therapy helps people to cope with health conditions. These may include:
- Orthopaedic conditions
- Developmental delays
- Upper limb conditions and injuries
- Neurological conditions
- Disabilities
- Stroke
- Age- related conditions
- Reduced mobility and falls
- Arthritis

Miniature Chain Mail: Handouts
Posted by Ed in Machine Shop, Software on 2016-01-11
I ran off a few patches of miniature chain mail for holiday handouts to a few folks who'd appreciate them:
A little patch like that makes a fondletoy that's easier to pocket than, say, a planetary gear bearing and should be robust enough to withstand quite a bit of abuse.
Alas, it turned out that recent Slic3r development versions suffered a bridging regression. The stable 1.2.9 version does the right thing:
The hot-from-Github version goes diagonally, producing a pattern like an internal layer that normally sits atop the (omitted) bridge layer:
While that might barely work, the little bitty link bars will certainly fall into the abyss:
Given the complexity of slicing algorithms, I definitely can't track down the problem; using the stable version for a while should suffice.
The OpenSCAD source code as a GitHub gist:

Dental Check-Ups in Ashfield
A general dental check-up at Ashfield Dental Centre will provide you with the reassurance that your dental health is on track.

It's quite important to provide the details of any medications that you are currently taking and any major illnesses or operations that you have had.

Eggnog Cheesecake in an Instant Pot
Eggnog is such a controversial subject. People either love it or hate it - I find there is no middle ground with this sweet, creamy, holiday beverage. We are an eggnog family. Every Christmas my mom brings out the vintage cut-glass punch bowl, the spiced rum, and the nutmeg grater, and sets it all up at the bar. Everyone has a glass or two, and then we are finished until next year.
This recipe is not my own. Full credit goes to my 11-year-old son. He has a sudden interest in cooking and has been watching old reruns of Good Eats on Netflix. My son is the sole vegetarian in our house, and sometimes I buy him special vegetarian treats. I recently bought him frozen corn and poblano tamales, and while he liked them enough, he asked if we could try making them better. I told him yes, thinking (hoping) he would just forget about it. A week later he asked me to buy corn husks and masa. I said sure, and threw them in a cabinet - out of sight. The next day he came to the kitchen with a recipe written on graph paper and his kindle with Alton Brown's tamale episode ready to show me. I knew he would not relent.
Raindrops on roses, and whiskars on kittens
Instant Pot® accessories and things for your kitchens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
The holidays are upon us and it is time to share a few of my favorite things for my Instant Pot®. They will make perfect gifts for your favorite people. Whether you know someone who already has an Instant Pot® or are already buying one and want to also give a few accessories, here are some great ideas to share.
Instant Pot Salted Caramel Sauce
I want to share a fun recipe for your Instant Pot® - Salted Caramel Sauce. Yes, I know you can easily make it on your stove top. Yes, I realize that this might not be the best way to use your Instant Pot®, but it definitely works and was pretty fun to make. We celebrate Christmas at our house, and after indulgent desserts at Thanksgiving, holiday treats at gatherings throughout December, and my Aunt Jane's famous chocolate mousse on Christmas Eve, we like to go EASY for Christmas dessert. My mom, sister, and I bake delicious cookies every year, and we bake enough for a small army. After sharing with friends and neighbors, we make one last beautiful platter just for us (because we never sample cookies as we go - KIDDING.) We also serve bowls of ice cream with hot fudge and salted caramel sauce to drizzle on top. Nothing fussy or difficult and a lovely way to wrap up the Christmas season.
Hi, I am Julie and welcome to Instantly Delicious. I am so glad you are here to share in my adventures with using an Instant Pot ® to make easy, nutritious, and Instantly Delicious food.

I finally put myself out there on Tuesday!
I did my first "Mardi Market"...a little grass-roots craft/art/anything goes-every Tuesday evening event in a small town a few miles away.
The temperature was at least 100 or more with the humidity...and there were only a small number of shoppers out for the evening, but it was a great exercise in courage for me. A meaningful way to get out of my comfort zone and make myself a bit vulnerable.
I'm so glad I went. I received some nice feedback, and I loved seeing the other side of selling art in a way other than etsy. I loved connecting with other artists/crafters and talking to the folks out shopping. I found that I really love describing how I created a piece or the inspiration behind it. Totally inspiring to see someone be drawn to a piece that I actually created!
Thank you, dear, sweet, husband, for encouraging me and literally pushing me out the door to do this. You knew it would be safe...and it was!
(some of my pieces)
(my favorite piece---loved making this with vintage hardware!)
(a distracted shop-keeper)
(two more helpers trickle in as the evening progresses)
I highly recommend putting yourself out there.
In whatever way leads you a little or a lot out of your comfort zone!

必发88官网:Counter-Strike: Global Offensive bombed by over 14,000 negative reviews after going free-to-play
- 时间:
- 浏览:186
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has just released its biggest update yet, as the game has gone free-to-play and introduced its own battle royale mode, Danger Zone. The update has met with some criticism however, as the game has since been bombarded by over 14,000 negative reviews on Steam.
Much of the game's playerbase was not happy with the game's decision to go free-to-play however, as they felt that the $14.99 they paid for the game before the game-changing has gone to waste.
As such, the CS:GO store page on Steam was bombarded by 14,327 negative Steam reviews on the day of the update alone. That amount of negative reviews in a single day far exceeded that of in any entire month for CS:GO since Steam added a user review system back in 2013.必发88官网
Other players were also hoping for more substantial rewards than the loyalty badge they received for having purchased the game prior to the update.
Another issue frequently cited in the negative reviews was the changes made to 'Prime' Matchmaking. Previously, it was only limited to players who added a legitimate phone number to their accounts and played long enough to reach Rank 21. This was thought to be a way to combat hackers in-game.
CS:GO's Danger Zone update however made it so that anyone who purchased the game prior to the update has been elevated to Prime.
Many players are weary that, with the changes to Prime Matchmaking and how much easier it is to get the game now that it's free-to-play, hackers will proliferate in CS:GO more than ever before.
For the most part, players were 必发88 not too displeased by the addition of the battle royale mode however. Some were impressed by the fact that CS:GO developer Valve tailored the mode to still fit in within the scope and theme of the game instead of just copying the formulae of other battle royale games.
READ MORE:?What's new in CS:GO Battle Royale – Danger Zone
The surge of negative reviews were not truly indicative of the game's state since the update however, as the amount?of peak concurrent players for CS:GO is the highest it's been all year.
Instead of reflecting on the status of a game as a whole, Steam reviews instead often reflect on a playerbase's reaction to single decisions made by developers. This is most likely the case for CS:GO.
Whatever the case may be, CS:GO's latest update clearly signals that the game is heading towards a new direction. Of course, not everyone will be happy about that.

As his CNN reign comes to an end, what can we expect out of Larry King's stand-up comedy in 2011?
Larry King has enjoyed a career in radio and TV broadcasting for more than five decades, but after Friday night, the 77-year-old's reign on CNN with Larry King Live will come to a close. So what's next? Retirement? Not exactly. As you may have read and/or heard, the septuagenarian wants to embark on a stand-up comedy tour. Who does he think he is, Glenn Beck? In an interview published a couple of weeks ago in New York Magazine, however, King said he definitely wanted to pursue life as a comedian, saying: "I'm funny. I'm going to do stand-up. That's what I love." King stood by his intentions when he appeared more recently on Jimmy Kimmel Live, telling Kimmel: "I want to do some comedy. You know, I do a lot of conventions and stuff, speak a lot. I like making people laugh, telling stories." He said his current wife would open for him on the road by singing. "We did it in Vegas. We did it in Niagara Falls. I love it." But why? He continued, telling Kimmel: "A comic has something nobody else has: The power to walk on a stage, have an audience in the grasp of your hands, and make 'em laugh. There's nothing like that. There's no bigger high. It's bigger than sex!" So what will Larry King, the talk-show host, look and sound like as a...Read More

News 06:01 January 2020:
All our services are working fast and instantly. Feel free to try us out , we even have a the free trial.
If there is something people are always searching for on twitter is followers. Having the biggest following in your city or neighborhood can elevate you to a special status in the presence of friends. If these many free followers also give you multiple likes and retweets to your posts, then you are on the right path to becoming a social media celebrity. But to become super famous on twitter, ten thousands followers might not be enough for you.
Most of the most famous people on twitter have tens of millions of followers, and although some of them do buy these followers, at least a good number of the followers are genuine. To gain popularity in any big city also demands having at least several hundred thousand followers, maybe half a million followers. If you have anything lower than one hundred thousand freefollowers can only make you a celebrity in a specific niche, but not a super famous person in the country. But since we can't all get a million free followers, the goal should be to get as many followers as you can especially if you might need them for business or other purposes.
Free Followers The easy Way
Getting free followers should not be a hard task for anyone. You should also not have to buy followers when you could get them for free.
Following people to gain followers – You can try following people so that they can follow you back. This is a proven way as people tend to appreciate the gesture for following them and they show it by following you back. The strategy is to look for people to follow at the right place.
In order for this to work, you may need to track people to follow from a list of the people following accounts of famous people. It would be wise to choose a famous person in the target group you are looking to attract. This will get you followers as once you follow them; they'll see you have a person in common and thy will be prompted to follow back. Getting a famous person from your target group is important as it will allow you to follow people interested in the same things you are and they will thus be a part of your target niche.
Using instagram lists to gain followers for free – Almost every social media platform will show you a list of people that are following you and those that you follow. One can manipulate this statistics to their advantage to gain free followers. When you look at another person's profile you will be to see how many people they follow and how many are following them. You should pay more attention to profiles where the number of people they are following is more than the number of people following them. You should follow such accounts as they are more likely to follow you back.
Follow lots of people to get followers– One of the most used strategies to get a lot of free followers is to follow a lot of people. This is especially necessary for new instagram or twitter users. When you follow people, they become aware that you are on twitter or instagram and they can thus follow you back. It acts as a form of introduction for you into the social media platform you have just joined. It is almost a social media courtesy that once a person follows your account, you follow them back unless you are a celebrity or a social media bigwig.
Using content to get followers on instagram – Getting a lot of followers within a short period needs one to have a strategy. You need to do things that get people interested in your account so much so that they want to always be updated and thus follow you. Content is one way to go. Instagram mainly involves posting [pictures and it I very important for you to do it right. You should start by posting high quality and epic photos. You may to invest in a phone with a good camera or a camera that gives photos of good quality. You also need to upload good content all the time so as to attract followers. Keep it interesting and catchy so as to stay trending.
