Get Your Sump Pump Installed
Sump pumps ensure that water gets effectively diverted from your home. This is especially useful in harsh weather conditions like heavy rainwater when water needs to be pushed away from your home so that it doesn't get into your basement through a dated drainage system.
Sewer Squad provides sump pump installation in Toronto to help protect your home from water damage and other long-term drainage issues.
Considering a lot of older homes were not built with sump pumps — a modern plumbing advancement — the City of Toronto is encouraging homeowners without a sump pump to get the system installed. The city is making this easy by offering rebates of up to $1,750 to cover the cost of Sump Pump installation. After all, it's important that your home is resistant to extreme weather conditions.
You are eligible for the Toronto sump pump subsidy if:
- Your home has not yet attained the maximum cost provided to cover sump pump installation
- You own a single family, duplex or triplex property in Toronto
- Your home is complete (i.e. not in construction or pre-construction)
- Your downspouts aren't connected to the city's sewer system
- Your property's paved areas are in accordance with the city's zoning by-laws
- You submit your application within a year after you get your sump pump installed
- You submit all invoices from the contractors who installed your sump pump
- Your sump pump is installed by professionals licensed by the City of Toronto
- You owe no taxes or debts to the city
Toronto's sump pump rebate is part of its Basement Flooding Protection Subsidy Program. Under this program, the city also covers costs for a backwater valve installment.
The program provides homeowners with up to $3,400 to install both a sump pump and backwater valve. The criteria to be eligible for the backwater valve are similar to what's needed for the sump pump subsidy, but also includes:
- Request for inspection
- A completed inspection of the backwater valve installation by Toronto Building staff
- Submission of the application form with original invoices including an itemized cost breakdown
Trenchless Pipe Bursting in Toronto
Replacing your drain isn't as invasive as it once was. While you once needed to do extensive excavation to put in a new drain, drain replacement can now be done through a trenchless technology that only calls for slight digging.
Our trenchless pipe bursting services in Toronto will ensure that your landscape isn't uprooted. To replace your drain, we will make two holes; we insert the new pipe into one and push out the old pipe through the other.
Drain replacement once meant needing to restore your entire landscaping, but thanks to this new method we are able to maintain most of your yard. We'll clean up after our slight digging, and it'll seem like we were never even there!
When you call Sewer Squad, we will make sure that your drain replacement is quick and painless. Our squad even throws in a 25-year warranty for your shiny new drain pipe!

In fiction, the humanitarian New Woman writer Mona Caird interrogated the hereditarian position, exposing the bias of biology and reclaiming the importance of environment and culture in shaping individuals (see Richardson 2001, 2002). She pursued the same line of argument as Huxley, arguing that nature was at best "primitive impulse and law, unmodified by human intelligence or moral development" (1894: 231). Human civilization and nature were at odds. The "primitive" mind was set against its transformed version in the social self.
Angus McLaren has charted the demise in the perceived relevance of female sexual pleasure in the act of procreation. In Making Sex Thomas Laqueur charts the same developments in the shift toward the biologizing of femininity, and Ornella Moscucci records an increasing emphasis on the function of the ovaries (a function discovered in 1826) as the search for the cause and proof of woman's otherness intensified (1990: 33). In the eighteenth century the most popular work on sexuality was Aristotle's Masterpiece, an anonymously authored compendium of information derived from Nicholas Culpeper, Albertus Magnus, and common folklore.
There was no way back; but through a new, improved, and sexually responsible Eve, there might be a way forward, a way of regaining paradise lost. Reversing the androcentric bias of Darwin's account of human sexual selection, which assigned to men the power of selection, socialpurity feminists argued that women would make sexual choices that would improve the health of the nation.

New policy bars Meghalaya teachers from entering active politics
SHILLONG: There are several veteran politicians in Meghalaya, who were teachers prior to becoming politicians. However, the new education policy of the State Government has made it clear that teachers of government-aided schools and deficit teachers cannot take part in politics.
To name few politicians who were teachers earlier are former Chief Minister, JD Rymbai and former Education Minister, Ampareen Lyngdoh and now the argument is that the decision of the State Government to bar teachers of government-aided schools and deficit teachers from taking part in the politics will prevent good people from entering the field of politics and helping the society.
Talking to newsmen here on Thursday, Education Minister, Lahkmen Rymbui said that the new education policy which has been approved bars teachers of government-aided schools and deficit teachers from taking part in active politics "On the basis of the policy, we will frame the rules shortly," he said.
On the argument that decision will prevent good people from entering the field of politics and helping the society, he said that the argument was good and the government did not disagree with it but earlier teachers were allowed to take part in politics since it was the need of the hour.
" But now in education sector, we need full-time people and we feel that mixing politics with education institution will not lead to a healthy environment," Rymbui said.
However, the decision of the government to bar teachers will not apply for teachers working in private institution since they are managed by their managing committees. The minister pointed out that full fledged government teachers had been barred from taking part in political activities since long time.
He said that the new education policy had barred teachers from entering politics after the department deliberated on the matter and found that the allowing teachers to take part in politics would hamper the development of schools
He also maintained that the government was taking a holistic view on the matter with the sole objective of streamlining the environment for the teachers in the state.

French Navy commissions second offshore support vessel 'Rhone'
The French Navy commissioned its second Loire-class offshore support and assistance multipurpose vessel – BSAH Rhone – in a ceremony on July 6.
Rhone entered service after being launched by the Kership joint venture in Concarneau, north-western France, in November 2017, and completing all trials off Brest.
The commissioning of BSAH Rhone was announced at the same time as the delivery of FREMM frigate Bretagne.
Rhone is the second of four Bâtiment de soutien et d'assistance hauturiers (BSAH) vessels being built by a joint venture between Naval Group and Piriou.
French DGA (Defence Procurement Agency) awarded a contract for the construction of first two vessels to Kership in September 2015. A year later, DGA ordered further two vessels to be constructed with delivery set for 2019.
Named after French rivers Loire, Rhone, Seine and Garonne, the BSAH vessels will be used by the French Navy for rescue missions, environmental protection, work in military ports and general support for other navy units.
The 70-meter vessels displace about 2,600 tons and have a towing capacity of 80 tons. They reach speeds of 14 knots and have an autonomy of about 30 days of operation without refueling.
The vessels are equipped with an 8-meter working boat and semi-rigid boats as well as a crane allowing the embarkation and disembarkation of containers. They are capable of accommodating divers, transport weapons and ammunition, providing support to a submarine during stopover and deploying an anti-pollution barrier.

Change Management Consultant experience
by Alex F
(New York, USA)
I have been working as an employee in a senior management position in a large corporation for the last eight years. During this period the organization has been through significant change and upheaval and I have been required to manage business as usual responsibilities alongside the safe delivery of significant change to the area of operations for which I hold responsibility.
I am now contemplating resigning my position and starting a business as a change management consultant. Please can you advise whether I am likely to have sufficient experience and also what qualifications and or methodologies might potential clients expect me to bring.
It sounds like you have plenty of practical experience that will provide a solid foundation for starting business as a change management consultant.
You may find that you would benefit from some coaching or mentoring from someone who has experience of working as an external professional consultant or adviser to clients. In addition you could consolidate this coaching with some training in core consulting skills or you could consider working as employed consultant for a few years prior to starting your own consulting business.
As for qualifications and methodologies, the most important component you already have which is hands on experience. Beyond this you might like to consider qualifications in project management (PRINCE2), programme management (MSP) or risk management (M_o_R).
The Change Management Consultant needs a robust toolkit with which to assess and understand the changes required to the organization and then scope, plan and deliver a controlled start, execution and close to major business change programmes.
It is important to get some qualifications in these areas – the key differentiators for a credible change management consultant are training, qualifications and the basic toolkit that is brought to the client organization.
Many thousands of practitioners badge themselves as Change Management Consultants and the risk is that this discipline can be viewed as a fairly general skill set, whereas in reality the skills and experience required to do this sort of work properly are quite substantial.
Wishing you every success.

The Feed: Goose The Market Goes Hollywood
Goose the Market owners Chris and Molly Eley will be on The Cooking Channel's Burgers, Brew and Que today at 9 p.m. The show, hosted by celebrity chef Michael Symon, paid a visit to the couple at Oca (135 N. College Ave., 317-602-3702; 351 Monon Blvd., Carmel, 317-671-1640). The show will be broadcast on the heels of Smoking Goose's weekend wins at the Good Food Awards in San Francisco, where the Coppa and Culatella di Dorman salumi took home top prizes in the charcuterie category.
Justin Grimes, owner of Georgia Street Grind (25 W. Georgia St., 317-401-8111), is opening a second coffee shop in Fountain Square. Bovaconti Coffee (1042 Virginia Ave.) will debut this spring in the former home of Bovaconti Jewelers. Grimes told The Indianapolis Star he will incorporate design elements of the jewelry store in the logo and interior of the new coffee shop.
Martha Hoover is getting closer to opening location No. 3 of Public Greens Urban Kitchen, the restaurant arm of Patachou, Inc., that donates all proceeds to the Patachou Foundation. The sign went up on the Cummins building this week, along with the promise of a late-January opening. The good news came on the heels of the surprise closure of Hoover's Crispy Bird, which had its last service on January 12, just one year after opening.
Black Market (922 Massachusetts Ave., 317-822-6757) executive chef Esteban Rosas invited some of his old friends to join him for a Chef Soirée on January 27 at the restaurant. Rosas is teaming up with George Turkette (Turchetti's Salumeria), Alan Sternberg (Common House and Field Brewing), and Pete Schmutte (Beholder), colleagues from the dearly departed Cerulean at the Alexander Hotel, to cook a six-course meal with wine pairings. Tickets are $100.

The Devour Indy winter event runs January 21 through February 3, and menus are online now for hungry meal planners. More than 200 local restaurants are offering discounted three-course menus, no coupons or tickets necessary.
Popular food website The Daily Meal released its 2019 list of "50 Best Foodie Towns in America," and Indiana got some love. Curiously, Indianapolis did not make the list, but Bloomington got a nod, with shout outs to Laughing Planet Cafe (322 E. Kirkwood Ave., 812-323-2233), The Owlery (118 W. 6th St., 812-333-7344), Rainbow Bakery (201 S. Rogers St., 812-822-3741), and Inkwell (105 N. College Ave., 812-822-2925). Carmel got kudos for Eggshell Bistro (51 W. City Center Dr., 317-660-1616), Divvy (71 W. City Center Dr., 317-706-0000), Tina's Traditional Tearoom & Tavern (30 N. Rangeline Rd., 317-565-9716), Bub's Burgers & Ice Cream (210 W. Main St., 317-706-2827), and No Label at the Table (111 W. Main St.).
Troops inside The Feed are divided on the chances we'll love the carrot hot dog at Cardinal Spirits (922 S. Morton St., Bloomington, 812-202-6789), but we're in agreement that we're dying to give it a try. The supersize root vegetable is spice-rubbed, slow-roasted, then topped with cheese, pickled red onions, celery, and black truffle aioli inside a housemade brioche bun. With so many tasty toppings, maybe we won't carrot all that there's no beef in that bun.

Punched tin, which is sometimes called pierced tin, is a craft involving punching holes in tin to create designs. Often, punched tin sheets are used as covers for lights, which emphasizes the holes in the tin. Sometimes, sheets of tin that have been decorated in this manner are used for other purposes, such as in furniture or as pieces of art themselves. This craft is highly associated with Mexico, but similar crafting strategies have been used all over the world.
Making punched tin artwork usually involves flat sheets of tin, an awl or nail, and a hammer. The tin is placed against a hard, flat surface, and the nail is hammered partially through the tin to create a hole. This technique does not remove a circle of tin from the sheet, but rather pushes a hole through in order to make space for light. There are special tools for this craft that do remove a slug of tin, creating an even and smooth hole on both sides. Shaped chisels and punches are also popular.
The designs used with sheets of tin must leave the sheet itself intact. This means that cutting out large shapes is usually not an option. Patterns made by many small dots are typically the most effective, particularly for lampshades and other sheets through which light will shine. Caution must be used when forming the finished sheets into curved patterns as well, as the process of bending the tin can deform the pattern if the artist is not careful.
One of the most interesting features of punched tin designs is the way in which these sheets of tin can be incorporated into other objects. When set in wood, punched tin can form box tops or panels of cabinets. As lampshades, they can incorporate other features. It is important to use caution when designing punched tin items that will be used with elements that get hot, because the tin can cause burns.
Upcycled tin is very popular for making pierced tin artwork, although this type of material often requires some advanced preparations. Historically, tin sheets from cans, and other items were used to make this type of art in areas where tin was rare. Cans are usually cut and hammered flat, although any ridges in the can may be left in place to add interest to the piece. It is very important to use special safety precautions when working with tin of this type, because edges can be sharp and can cause serious cuts.
Post 4
I make punched tin art, but I like to antique mine. I rub a brownish-black paint onto the surface when I'm done, and then I wipe it off with a cloth. The result is a tarnished look that makes the piece look old.
After I use tin snips to cut my piece to size, I tape it to a piece of scrap mat board. I draw my idea in dots on notebook paper, and then I tape that on top of the tin. This makes it easy to know where to punch.
I would always recommend sketching out your idea first. If you don't, you will likely get off course when punching and ruin your piece of tin.
Post 3
I love punched tin candle holders. These might sound dangerous, since tin heats up a lot, but the actual candles go down inside a clear glass cup. The punched tin sits about a quarter of an inch away from the cup on all sides.
Last fall, I got this set of candle holders to go with my autumn décor. A pumpkin design has been punched onto the side of each tin holder, and when the candlelight shines through, it looks very festive.
When I turn out all the lights and light the candles inside the holders, I can see rays of light coming through the tin. They hit the table and create a pattern.

@seag47 – That would look really cool. My cabinets are solid wood, and I have no idea how to install panels, so I settled for some framed punched tin artwork instead.
I've been a fan of this style since I saw some punched tin art in my local art gallery. I finally found some that I could afford at a flea market.
I chose a piece that was taller than it is wide, so it could fit in the space I had picked out for it. The design is of a lighthouse, and there are waves and an island punched into the tin, too.
I would love to have this type of artwork throughout my house. Any time I see a piece, I will buy it, because I've decided to start a collection.
Post 1
I was so happy to find punched tin panels on the kitchen cabinets of the house I was looking to buy a few years ago. That's what really convinced me that this was the house for me.
The panels had designs in the shape of pineapples and other fruit. The tin was gray, so the holes were what made it so decorative.
Even though no light would be shining through the cabinets, the punched tin gave the room such an interesting look. I felt like half of the decorating had already been accomplished by the addition of these panels, so I didn't have to do a whole lot to the kitchen once I moved in.

Which Dorm Room Bedding Do I need?
When you go away to college or university, it is probable that you will be staying in rented accommodation, maybe in a college dorm or in a guest-house. In these cases, normally all basic furniture is provided for you and in a guest-house, you may be given bedding every week as well, but you may have to provide your own. You have probably never purchased bedding before, if going away to university is the first time that you have lived away from home.
Bedding does not have to be expansive, but it is not wise to go for the cheapest sheets and blankets either. Exactly what you need will depend on the level of heating in the building and the location of the college.
It is worth giving some thought to colour. You might spend a lot of time in your room studying on your bed in your day clothes. If you are in a dry dusty place, that means that your top blanket or quilt could become dirty pretty quickly.
If you are dead set against laundering this blanket often, then get a darker colour, but that is not the perfect solution. It is better to be able to see the dirt and wash it off.
Therefore, it is better to get light coloured bedding and rather than mess about with sheets and blankets, it is easier to get a few of duvet covers and a duvet. If you buy a 6 tog duvet, it will be warm enough for the summer, and if it gets too cold in the winter, you can purchase another 6 tog duvet to slip in with it making a super warm, very fluffy 12 tog duvet that will be warm enough for any winter.
Another tip is to get matching duvet cover, sheet and pillow case sets, because if you are occupying a room with a room mate, you might end up doing your laundry together. Having clearly identifiable matching bedding makes it very easy to sort the laundry out when it comes back. It will forestall any arguments or confusion.
The last piece of information that you will need before you can go shopping for dorm room bedding is the size of the bed. It is more than probable that you will get a single bed which is sometimes confusingly called a twin bed.
However, even single beds come in different widths and lengths, usually 4', 4' 6" or 5' wide and 6' or 6' 6" long, but as you can see you cannot take the size for granted. You do not want a duvet or bottom sheet that is a foot too narrow, do you?
So, in summary, the ideal dorm room bedding ought to be the correct size for the bed. You ought to get two light-weight duvets and at least two sets of matching duvet covers, pillow cases and sheets and the duvet covers should be light in colour so as not to be depressing in a normally cramped college dorm room.

Dear Babyface,
birthed by God's grace;
let me hold you, kiss you, squeeze you,
while you're sleeping, let me tease you:
misshapen head and wrinkly skin,
you sport a double…no, triple chin!
your pudgy nose is slightly pimpled,
your chubby cheeks are sweetly dimpled.
I admire all I see 'cuz, Babyface,
you look like me!

Linking to Carpe Diem Haiku Kai's "loneliness" haibun prompt.
My husband and I don't sleep together anymore. Yes, it happened slowly and yet it was by choice…my husband's but I influenced him. As newlyweds buying furniture, I encouraged him to pick out a recliner but, not wanting to be a "lazy boy" by association, he declined.
For years, I was a poor sleeper who desperately sought rest. I complained if awakened when hubby worked late (often), rose early (sometimes), or got up during night to check livestock (seasonal). My alert sensory apparatus took intense interest in all these nocturnal comings and goings. Worries about my husband's apparent workaholism aggravated my insomnia. I was a co-dependent sleeper to a man who had little appreciation for circadian rhythms.
Fast forward to time our middle son broke his leg and the doctor suggested he sleep in a recliner with his leg raised. I called my husband from the surgery center. "Honey, if you ever wanted a recliner, now would be the time to buy one. Why don't you go pick one out?" He did; it would be a life-changing decision.
Our son's recovery led to my husband's discovery…that recliner was comfortable! He could fall asleep to a movie without me grumbling about noise in bed. When calving season came, he would get up during the night, check cows, and spend remaining hours of darkness in the chair so as not to wake the queen. It eventually became a habit since we both slept better.
On vacation, camping or otherwise, we enjoy sleeping together…time apart seems to have a "honeymoon effect" when we reunite. And my husband knows he's welcome to visit anytime!

I'll tell you this much - there was groping involved
This is all irrelevant because what I really want to say is that I have essentially been without a phone for two weeks and it's kind of been like Heaven for me. I get zero reception up at the Dukes. I am way beyond having no bars. It seems I can only call out if I'm calling 911. And since I can no longer talk on the phone in my car and most days I work so many hours (roughly about a squillion every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday) that days go by when I'm literally only in my car or at work or at the Dukes, I haven't called anyone in a very long time. And I'm fine with that. You know my anxiety about calling people.
But today -- oh, today -- I want to call everyone because you will never believe what I had to do at work. Never. It is just too crazy -- and, I feel, not exactly for mixed company, which means it is not for this blog. Trust me boys, you would be mortified. But gals, you will laugh and laugh and laugh because, Knights of Columbus!, this is a funny story. It tops ultrasounding that guys toe and the time I had to guess whether the black furry stuff on a woman's back was part of her sweater or a rogue patch of back hair. Please ask me the next time you see me (unless we're in church, I can't do it at church) to tell you what happened. I'm DYING to tell it.
Sometimes I have to pinch myself that I lucked into a job with so many great stories to tell. It's like a dream come true for me.

Deputy fired after posting racial comment on Facebook
The report said Lopez posted a video in March of a black man talking about his company and his competitors using explicit language and street terms. The report said Lopez wrote, "Can someone please tell me what the [expletive] this monkey is saying?"
The report also stated Lopez wrote, "Get a real life [expletive] monkey."
The video was originally posted on Facebook by Street FX Motorsport & Graphics. According to the report, Lopez told investigators he and his friends used the term to describe "something stupid." Lopez said he would never use the term in uniform.
Officials with the sheriff's office said the post violated their policy.
"It's not acceptable and that's why he's out of a job," Lee County Sheriff Mike Scott said.
It's not Lopez's first time being investigated at work. An internal affairs report shows Lopez and another officer were placed on administrative leave for the officer-involved shooting of Joshua Young in March 2014. Investigators said Young tried to run the deputies over. The actions of both deputies were found to be within the policies and procedures of the Lee County Sheriff's Office.
Lopez was also accused of having sex with a prostitute in 2013, but a report said an investigation found those claims to be unfounded.
In 2009, Lopez was reprimanded for getting involved in a domestic dispute between his two neighbors while he was off-duty.
In 2008, a report said investigators concluded Lopez improperly handled a suspect's money. Then again in 2008, Lopez was arrested but not charged for threatening to kill his wife. The sheriff's office determined Lopez violated policies and procedures by losing his temper and threatening his wife.
Despite his past, Lopez's neighbor said he does not believe he should have been fired for the post.
"He has an opinion like anybody else," neighbor Dennis Sweany said. "Just because he is a deputy doesn't mean he can't say his opinion I don't think."
Sheriff Scott said Lopez's post questioned his ability to enforce laws without being prejudice.
"It was so far contrary for what we stand for and what I expect for a deputy sheriff that we said bye-bye," Sheriff Scott said.
Lopez sat down with us to give his side of the story. He admits he used the phrase "monkey" to describe an African American man on Facebook. But Lopez says it wasn't racist.
Lopez tells us it's just something he calls people saying "stupid or funny stuff." He admits he knows it has racial connotations, but doesn't think the punishment is fair.
The Lee County Sheriff's Office says because Lopez listed them on Facebook as his employer, he violated their policy on derogatory comments.

The mega memorial for pop star Michael Jackson in Los Angeles yesterday ran so smoothly that a Los Angeles Police Department spokesman told the Los Angeles Times it was "a miracle." The LAPD did not make a single arrest despite the allure of the special event, held at Staples Center, which drew celebrities from Stevie Wonder to Usher to Brooke Shields.
Some 1.6 million Jackson fans vied to win one of the 17,500 free tickets to the tribute, according to AEG Worldwide, which owns Staples Center.
With fears that hundreds of thousands of ticket-less fans might show up, city officials planned the event carefully, using strategies praised by Mark Flaisher, head of L.A.-based Mark Flaisher Entertainment. His firm has overseen mammoth events including the Walt Disney Concert Hall opening and the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books.In an interview with Special Events on Monday, Flaisher said he thought the LAPD "has done a wonderful job" of preparing for this event. "The LAPD deployed officers last week at Staples Center, showing great foresight."
Flaisher also praised AEG's lottery system, which had those lucky enough to land a seat pick up their ticket and wristbands at L.A.'s Dodger Stadium, "a safe distance away from Staples Center."According to reports, only about 1,000 fans turned up at Staples Center, far fewer than the hordes forecast. This greatly reduced the need for police.
"I think the LAPD and [L.A.] Councilmember Jan Perry made the correct decision to simultaneously tell the public to stay away from the event and to shut down the area within two blocks of Staples Center/Nokia Theatre," Flaisher said, "to make it unproductive for people to stand around the perimeter."He added, "The Jackson family made a great decision to provide a free television feed to all television stations." This move also reduced the allure for fans to be in the area.
The true problem—how to pay for it all. Controversy is already brewing about who will cover the city's costs—estimated at between $2 million and $4 million--connected with the event. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa even twitters for donations to recoup the city's costs.
Leslie Harris, executive vice president of production with TBA Global, shares how she would handle a mega event such as the Michael Jackson memorial. Click here.

Paradise, NV Social Security Attorneys | Paradise, NV Social Security Lawyers | Clark County, Nevada Social Security SSI SSDI Law Firms
Contact a Social Security lawyer in Paradise, Nevada today
Are you unable to work because of a disability? Social security disability income, or "SSDI" for short, and "SSI", supplemental security income, was created forthose who cannot work due to suffering from a disability. The federal SSDI and SSI system can be difficult to navigate. Whether you are a first time applicant or whether you have been previously rejected, an experienced Paradise social security attorney can help you. Help is right around the corner. Start working with an experienced Paradise social security attorney today by filling out the questionnaire on the left.
The consequences of your SSI and SSDI application and appeal
If you have already applied and been rejected for social security benefits, you are among the majority. Importantly, you do not have to be among the number of people who do not qualify for benefits. If you have a disability, you can increase your chances of qualifying for social security benefits by contacting an experienced Paradise social security lawyer. Your attorney can help you make your case for SSI or SSDI benefits. You do not have to work alone. For many people, social security payments mean the difference between falling through society's cracks and safety. This is because social security was designed to help those who are most vulnerable: those who suffer from a disability and who cannot work. For those who qualify, social security provides a safety net of monthly checks for the duration of your disability, in addition to other potential benefits such as medical care coverage and assistance from your state.
How do people afford to pay qualified Paradise Social Security lawyers?
If you think you can't afford a social security attorney, think again. They're not as expensive as you probably think. In most every case, social security lawyers work on a "contingency" fee. That means they only get paid if you win your social security benefits claim. Thankfully, the government has placed restrictions on how much a social security lawyer can charge a claimant. Specifically, they cannot charge you more than 25% of the past due benefits that are awarded to you. Even then, that 25% figure cannot exceed $6,000 total. So, claimants are always protected by the social security system. Don't wait to contact an experienced Paradise Social Security lawyer. Fill out the form on the left.
What is the difference between SSDI and SSI?
The federal government created Social Security for a number of reasons. One of those reasons was to provide benefits to Americans who cannot work due to an injury. The injury must last at least one year, and prevent you from working. There are two different programs that give rise to disability payments under the Social Security System: SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) and SSI (Supplemental Security Income). Both programs provide relief to injured Americans, but they are different from each other.

SSDI is a benefit program that pays disabled people on a monthly basis who (1) have worked in the past, and (2) paid social security taxes. Each person must work a certain percentage of the previous years (depending on your age) to qualify. Thus, not everyone who is disabled can qualify. SSDI claimants who receive payments for 2 years qualify for Medicare to pay medical costs. Contact you Paradise SSDI lawyer to learn if you qualify.

If you have no or too little work history, are disabled, and make below a certain threshold of money, you may qualify for SSI. SSI, or Supplemental Security Income, is a welfare-based program.

*Price per pound is an estimate for comparison purposes only. Click on the "Details" tab to learn more.
My family & I are big fans! It's a little spicy for my little one but he's not as into spicy as the rest of his south Texas fam ☺
Very Flavorful
Looking at the ingredients list made sense as to why there are so many tastes coming out of this chorizo beef. A bit too flavorful to our liking but we enjoyed trying it.
Packs & Weights
Our frozen meats are packaged in vacuum-sealed packs. Most packs contain one piece (ie, one Brisket). Some packs will contain two pieces (ie, Lamb Chops). Packs of smaller items, such as Chicken Wings or Pepper Steak, will contain multiple pieces.
These vacuum-sealed packs are generally packed in a cardboard box. If there is an option to choose how many packs you'd like in the box, you'll make that choice under "Number of Packs". Then you'll choose the total weight of the box (that is, the combined weight of all the the packs in that box).
Example: Lamb Chops
Let's say you're ordering Lamb Chops and you select the following:
You've chosen: 2 packs, ~1.9lbs, and the price shows as $60.78.
You'll receive 1 box, with 2 packs of lamb chops inside. The whole thing will weigh approximately ~1.9lbs and will cost $60.78.
Each pack will contain 2 lamb chops, and weigh approximately .95lbs.
You'll have 4 lamb chops in total. Each will weigh approximately .475lbs (note that one may be slightly larger and one slightly smaller).
Weight Ranges & Prices
To keep our fulfillment system practical and manageable, products with variable weights are sold in a weight range (this includes most frozen meats, with the exception of deli meats, sausages and beef jerky). We keep the ranges as small as practically possible to minimize the variation you might receive. If a price/lb is shown with a *, it is an estimate for comparison purposes only, since the price associated with each weight is the price for all items within that weight range.
This chart shows the weight ranges for all our products:
|less than 0.99lb
|1lb - 2.19lb
|2.2lb - 2.74lb
|2.75lb - 10.24lb
|10.25lb - 19.99lb
|over 20lbs

Dear Wrist Worms friends,
I have decided to stop making Wrist Worms for now, at least the way they look since 2008 until today. Maybe/hopefully they'll come back this Fall in a different shape. ALL Wrist Worms are 33% off with code SPRING19 and you find them here. Thanks for all those years, I have made thousands and thousands of pairs and enjoyed making each and every one of them so much. I will let you know where I'm heading when Summer is about to take farewell. Lots of love to all of you, Sandra xo

5 SEO Tips Your Business Should Live By
When browsing the Internet, you'll find quite a number of tips related to SEO or search engine optimization. This is because a good number of small business owners are now venturing into website development. It's the new "in" thing in advertising because people now spend more time online than they do watching television. Below are sure, best practices you can be sure would bring in visitors to your website.
Focus on good content. Internet Marketing is not about keyword stuffing, which can get you into more trouble than you're prepared for, so if you must optimize your page targeting specific keywords, keep the frequency to a minimum. A maximum of 2% or even 1% is a safe bet. Keep the keyword usage at the back of your mind because the thing that you're supposed to be focusing on, really, is the human factor of your website. Write to please human visitors because the popularity of your website will depend on the usefulness of your content. As long as you are able to give useful information to your human readers, everything else will fall into place.
Invest in links. Establish good relationships with other bloggers first and foremost by providing good content. Good, somewhat generic, but useful self-help blogs which are related to the products you're selling can by syndicated or reposted in a number of ways. They can be reposted in blogs with links crediting you for the hard work, or interested readers could share the link to your website using social networking sites. A content that's good, interesting, and spunky when possible can go viral in a matter of hours. You can also purchase links from small business seo providers in the niche and get the diversity and link volume you need to have your site naturally optimized. Invest not only your money but your time in these links. The more credible your website is, the better it would rank in search engines.
Provide sitemaps. Internal linking and site maps can speed up the indexing process of search engine crawlers. Some blogs and websites take up to a year to be included in listings because they don't have proper sitemaps. The search engine crawlers are having difficulty finding their way around the site. Site maps are also helpful for human visitors. This would save them the trouble of having to plow through all your content. If they need anything from your website, they can simple click on a tab and they can be redirected to the content they are looking for.
Make your filenames and URLs search engine optimized. A URL address that ends with a series of letters and numbers are less likely to be indexed compared to one named after a relevant keyword. Name your page URLs wisely so they can be indexed properly by search engines. Since search engines also index image files, name your uploaded images according to their subjects as well.
Avoid big files. Big image files including animated cursors, flash images and uncompressed images can and will delay the downloading of your web pages. This can be bad for both search engine rankings and your appeal to human visitors. Keep things simple and use only files which allow for easy downloading. This way, you won't turn away crawlers and human visitors who may have slow Net connection.

Dear Patients and Readers,
Welcome to a new album review! This time I am really excited because I will be reviewing my number one all-time favorite male Kpop group BtoB's new Mini-Album called ''Remember That''. I am not only excited to hear my boys' beautiful voices again but even more because I absolutely loved their latest two title track which were also ballads. So to put all our hearts at ease let's get it on with the review.
1. Killing Me
This song is the first track on the album. However, unlike my expectation of an easy start they throw a mid-tempo song towards the listeners. The song sounds very sad but at the same it has some kind of epicness to it that I really like. I am really having a hard time trying not to swoon because of Sungjae and Eunkwang's awesome voices. Even the rap parts in this song were good. I have to give props to the producers of BtoB's songs because their albums never fail to amaze me. Hopefully the rest of the album is as good as this song.
2. Draw
Changsub starts off this song with his sweet and marshmallow sweet voice. Than Hyunsik continues slaying my ears. Than Sungjae had the nerves to slay my ears even more. Not even to talk about the vocals. This song sounds so sweet. While listening to this song, I felt some kind of happiness in my heart. I can't really explain what it is. Just the combination of their talent combined with the amazingness that is this song. It makes me feel happy and warm inside.
3. Remember That
This song sounds like the song you hear at the ending credits at an amazing and dramatic movie. What I mean with this is that I think the scale of artistry is above just Kpop. I don't know any other group that would take a risk like this to bring out a ballad like this. It doesn't happen often in Kpop. The only other group that I know that would make song like this is DB5K. The harmonies are on point and every vocal sings so flawlessly. In addition, when the rappers rap they don't just rap. I feel like they mean every word they say. I feel blessed when listening to this song because I just feel good inside and I appreciate BtoB so much for making music like this despite them debuting in Kpop with up-tempo songs.
4. Anymore
Coffee commercial is the first thing that came into my head when this song started playing. This is actually the first really up-tempo song on this album. It reminds me a bit of their ''WOW'' era. It doesn't necessarily sound amazing. I do think it is refreshing to switch up the sad and slow vibe with an up-tempo song. It sounds good but I have heard better up-tempo songs from them. It does not take away the fact that it is a good song though. I actually like Peniel's rap in this song a lot.
5. So Pretty
Why does this song sound like a 2007 era 2PM/BigBang song? I have to admit that I really like the chorus of this song. It really has that old-school R&B vibe to. However, despite a lot of Kpop groups making songs like this these says, I still feel like this song has something unique. And like always their vocals and rap are on point. I feel like they had more creative freedom on this album. I think this is low-key a song that I would put on repeat when lying in bed reading some Marvel comics.
6. Just Like You
Yet again Changsub slays my ears by starting off the song with his mellow voice. I feel like this song would perfectly fit a drama OST. It really has that OST vibe to it. I really liked Ilhoon's rap in this one. What I like most about this song though is the harmonies in the background when they are singing. It gives me the DB5K feels yet again. Also it is very soothing to the ear. Especially the bridge to the last chorus hit the spot.
7. Empty Space
For a song called ''Empty Space'' it sounds awfully happy. I really like that they are ending the album with a happy and uplifting song. To lift your spirits after all the emotionally loaded ballads. While listening to this song I also got really happy. They have the group singing in the background at some parts but in a very playful way. It reminds me of what Block B did on ''HER''. It really makes this song what it is and I hope it will spread happiness to a lot of people.
I didn't know this album would slay me this hard. Yes, I expected it to be good because it is BtoB and I usually like what they release. But I have to admit they really outdid themselves on this one. I feel like every song (except ''Anymore'') was unique and could have been a single. They each had their own identity without sounding like an album filled with the same songs. What I appreciate most about BtoB's albums is that they put their heart and soul into their vocals and I think they deserve more recognition for that. I am especially impressed that such an amazing group is from cube. I hope they keep coming out with albums as good as this one. I would definitely give this album an 8,7. You can watch the Music Video below.
I hope you enjoyed this album review and please anticipate the next one!
Yours sincerely,
Dr. Hallyu
After my highly successful first post on Korean ASMR I thought it would be time for a second post. Here are 5 more amazing Korean ASMRtists that you should watch.
With the official debut of I.O.I. coming up very soon I thought it would be a good idea to look back on some of the performances of produce 101. As you can imagine this post features all the spoilers, so if you have not watched the show yet go watch it no...
An overview of the parties affected by the Produce 101 scandal.
With YG's demise, Big Hit appears primed to take on the vacant spot to be part of the Nation's Big Three.
