text: Data in MySQL is stored in files (or memory) using a variety of different techniques. Each of these techniques employs different storage mechanisms, indexing facilities, locking levels and ultimately provides a range of different functions and capabilities. By choosing a different technique you can gain additional speed or functionality benefits that will improve the overall functionality of your application. For example, if you work with a large amount of temporary data, you may want to make use of the MEMORY storage engine, which stores all of the table data in memory. Alternatively, you may want a database that supports transactions (to ensure data resilience). Each of these different techniques and suites of functionality within the MySQL system is referred to as a storage engine (also known as a table type). By default, MySQL comes with a number of different storage engines pre-configured and enabled in the MySQL server. You can select the storage engine to use on a server, database and even table basis, providing you with the maximum amount of flexibility when it comes to choosing how your information is stored, how it is indexed and what combination of performance and functionality you want to use with your data. This flexibility to choose how your data is stored and indexed is a major reason why MySQL is so popular; other database systems, including most of the commercial options, support only a single type of database storage. Unfortunately the 'one size fits all approach' in these other solutions means that either you sacrifice performance for functionality, or have to spend hours or even days finely tuning your database. With MySQL, we can just change the engine we are using. In this article, we're not going to concentrate on the technical aspects of the different storage engines (although we will inevitably have to look at some of these elements); instead we will concentrate on how and where these different engines can be best employed. To achieve this, we'll have to look at some of the fundamental issues before moving on to the specifics of each engine type. Determining Available Engines You can determine a list of engines by using the show engines command within MySQL (assuming a MySQL server version later than 4.1.2). Code: mysql> show engines; +------------+---------+------------------------------------------------------------+ | Engine | Support | Comment | +------------+---------+------------------------------------------------------------+ | MyISAM | DEFAULT | Default engine as of MySQL 3.23 with great performance | | HEAP | YES | Alias for MEMORY | | MEMORY | YES | Hash based, stored in memory, useful for temporary tables | | MERGE | YES | Collection of identical MyISAM tables | | MRG_MYISAM | YES | Alias for MERGE | | ISAM | NO | Obsolete storage engine, now replaced by MyISAM | | MRG_ISAM | NO | Obsolete storage engine, now replaced by MERGE | | InnoDB | YES | Supports transactions, row-level locking, and foreign keys | | INNOBASE | YES | Alias for INNODB | | BDB | NO | Supports transactions and page-level locking | | BERKELEYDB | NO | Alias for BDB | | NDBCLUSTER | NO | Clustered, fault-tolerant, memory-based tables | | NDB | NO | Alias for NDBCLUSTER | | EXAMPLE | NO | Example storage engine | | ARCHIVE | NO | Archive storage engine | | CSV | NO | CSV storage engine | +------------+---------+------------------------------------------------------------+ 16 rows in set (0.01 sec) The listing shows the full list of available database engines, and whether the support is available in the current database server. For versions of MySQL earlier than 4.1.2, use Code: mysql> show variables like "have_%"; +------------------+----------+ | Variable_name | Value | +------------------+----------+ | have_bdb | YES | | have_crypt | YES | | have_innodb | DISABLED | | have_isam | YES | | have_raid | YES | | have_symlink | YES | | have_openssl | YES | | have_query_cache | YES | +------------------+----------+ 8 rows in set (0.01 sec) You can configure the available engines within a MySQL installation by changing the options to the configure script. If you are using a pre-packaged MySQL binary distribution then most of the commonly used engines are included. Note, however, that if you want access to some of the more unusual types (particularly the CSV, ARCHIVE and BLACKHOLE engines) then you may want to build your MySQL database by hand. Using an Engine There are a number of ways you can specify the storage engine to use. The simplest method, if you have a preference for a engine type that fits most of your database needs to set the default engine type within the MySQL configuration file (using the option storage_engine or when starting the database server by supplying the --default-storage-engine or --default-table-type options on the command line). More flexibility is offered by allowing you specify the storage engine to be used MySQL, the most obvious is to specify the engine type when creating the table: Code: CREATE TABLE mytable (id int, title char(20)) ENGINE = INNODB You can also alter the storage engine used for an existing table: Code: ALTER TABLE mytable ENGINE = MyISAM However, you should be careful when altering table types in this way as making a modification to a type that does not support the same indexes, field types or sizes may mean that you lose data. If you specify a storage engine that doesn't exist in the current database then a table of type MyISAM (the default) is created instead. Differentiating the Engines In order to make a decision about which engine to choose, we first need to think about the different core functionality provided in each engine that allows us to differentiate between them. We can generally divide up the core functionality into four areas; the supported field and data types, locking types, indexing and transactions. Some engines have unique functionality that can also drive your decision, we'll be taking a closer look at these specifics in a moment. Field and Data Types Although all of the engines support the common data types, i.e., integers, reals and character based storage, not all engines support other field types, particularly the BLOB (binary large object) or TEXT types. Other engines may support only limited character widths and data sizes. These limitations, while directly affecting the information you store may also have a related effect to the types of searches you perform, or the indexes you create on that information. In turn, these differences can affect the performance and functionality of your application as you may have to make decisions about functionality based on the storage engine choice you make for the type of data you are storing. Locking Types Locking within database engines defines how access and updates to information are controlled. When an object in the database is locked for updating, other processes cannot modify (or in some cases read) the data until the update has completed. Locking not only affects how many different applications can update the information in the database, it can also affect queries on that data. The reason for this is that the queries may be accessing data that may be being altered or updated. In general, such delays are minimal. The bulk of the locking mechanism is devoted to preventing multiple processes updating the same data. Since both additions (INSERT statements) and alterations (UPDATE statements) to the data require locking, you can imagine that multiple applications using the same database can have a significant impact. Locks are supported by different storage engines at different object levels, and these levels affect the concurrency of access to the information. Three different levels are supported, table locking, block locking and row locking. Table locking is most commonly supported and is the locking provided in MyISAM. It locks an entire table during an update. This will limit the number of applications that are updating a specific table to just one, and this can affect heavily used multi-user databases because it introduces delays into the update process. Page level locking is used by the Berkeley DB storage engine and locks data according to the page (8Kb) of information that is being uploaded. When performing updates across a range of locations within the database, the locking is not a problem, but because adding rows involves locking the final 8Kb of the data structure, adding large numbers of rows, particularly of small data, can be a problem. Row level locking provides the best concurrency; only individual rows within a table are locked, which means that many applications can be updating different rows of the same table without causing a lock situation. Only the InnoDB storage engine supports row level locking. Indexing Indexing can dramatically increase the performance when searching and recovering data from the database. Different storage engines provide different indexing techniques and some may be better suited for the type of data you are storing. Some storage engines simply do not support indexing at all either because they use the indexing of the underlying tables (in the MERGE engine for example) or because the data storage method does not allow indexing (FEDERATED or BLACKHOLE engines). Transactions Transactions provide data reliability during the update or insert of information by enabling you to add data to the database, but only to commit that data when other conditions and stages in the application execution have completed successfully. For example, when transferring information from one account to another you would use transactions to ensure that both the debit from one account and the credit to the other completed successfully. If either process failed, you could cancel the transaction and the changes would be lost. If the process completed,then we would confirm it by committing the changes. Storage Engines MyISAM The MyISAM engine is the default engine in most MySQL installations and is a derivative of the original ISAM engine type supported in the early versions of the MySQL system. The engine provides the best combination of performance and functionality, although it lacks transaction capabilities (use the InnoDB or BDB engines) and uses table-level locking. Unless you need transactions, there are few databases and applications that cannot effectively be stored using the MyISAM engine. However, very high-performance applications where there are large numbers of data inserts/updates compared to the number of reads can cause performance problems for the MyISAM engine. It was originally designed with the idea that more than 90% of the database access to a MyISAM table would be reads, rather than writes. With table-level locking, a database with a high number of row inserts or updates becomes a performance bottleneck as the table is locked while data is added. Luckily this limitation also works well within the restrictions of a non-transaction database. MyISAM Summary Name MyISAM Introduced v3.23 Default install Yes Data limitations None Index limitations 64 indexes per table (32 pre 4.1.2); Max 16 columns per index Transaction No Locking level Table MERGE The MERGE engine type allows you to combine a number of identical tables into a single table. You can then execute queries that return the results from multiple tables as if they were just one table. Each table merged must have the same table definition. The MERGE table is particularly effective if you are logging data directly or indirectly into a MySQL database and create an individual table per day, week or month and want to be able to produce aggregate queries from multiple tables. There are limitations to this however, you can only merge MyISAM tables and the identical table definition restriction is strictly enforced. Although this seems like a major issue, if you had used one of the other table types (for example InnoDB) then the merge probably wouldn't be required. MERGE Summary Name MERGE Introduced v3.23.25 Default install Yes Data limitations Underlying tables must be MyISAM Index limitations N/A Transaction No Locking level Table MEMORY The MEMORY storage engine (previously known as the HEAP storage engine) stores all data in memory; once the MySQL server has been shut down any information stored in a MEMORY database will have been lost. However, the format of the individual tables is kept and this enables you to create temporary tables that can be used to store information for quick access without having to recreate the tables each time the database server is started. Long term use of the MEMORY storage engine is not generally a good idea, because the data could so easily be lost. However, providing you have the RAM to support the databases you are working on, use of MEMORY based tables is an efficient way of running complex queries on large data sets and benefiting from the performance gains. The best way to use MEMORY tables is to use a SELECT statement to select a larger data set from your original, disk-based, tables and then sub-analyse that information for the specific elements you want. I've used this technique in the past to extract a month worth of web log data, actually from tables using the ARCHIVE storage engine, and then run the queries on specific URLs, sites and other focus points. MEMORY Summary Name MEMORY (HEAP, deprecated) Introduced 1.0 (only known as MEMORY since 4.1) Default install Yes Data limitations BLOB and TEXT types not supported Index limitations None Transaction No Locking level Table EXAMPLE The EXAMPLE engine is actually a programming example of a storage engine that can be used as the basis for other engines within the MySQL system. It does not support data inserts and isn't a practical engine for any form of database access. It is, however, a good guide to how to develop your own storage engine, and is therefore an effective guide for programmers. EXAMPLE Summary Name EXAMPLE Introduced v4.1.3 Default install No Data limitations N/A Index limitations N/A Transaction N/A Locking level N/A FEDERATED The FEDERATED storage engine (added in MySQL 5.03) enables you to access data from remote MySQL database (other databases may be supported in the future) as if it were a local database. In effect, the MySQL server acts as a proxy to the remote server, using the MySQL client access library to connect to the remote host, execute queries and then reformat the data into the localized format. In essence, it is a way for a server, rather than a client, to access a remote database and can be an effective way of combining data from multiple hosts or of copying specific data from remote databases into local tables without the use of data exports and imports. FEDERATED Summary Name FEDERATED Introduced v5.0 Default install No Data limitations Limited by remote database Index limitations N/A Transaction No Locking level No ARCHIVE The ARCHIVE storage engine supports only the INSERT and SELECT statements, but does support most of the MySQL field types. Information stored in an ARCHIVE storage engine table is compressed and cannot be modified and so ARCHIVE tables are perfect for storing log data (which you don't want to be able to change) or information that is no longer in active use (for example, old invoicing or sales data). While the information is stored very efficient, care should be taken when accessing data stored in the ARCHIVE tables. Because the information is compressed, selects have to read the entire table, and that also means decompressing the information. This can obviously increase the time taken to perform complex searches and retrievals. If you are performing a large number of queries on the information in these tables it may be easier to temporarily copy your data to another, uncompressed, data type such as MyISAM. ARCHIVE Summary Name ARCHIVE Introduced v4.1.3 Default install No Data limitations Data can only be inserted (no updates) Index limitations N/A Transaction No Locking level N/A CSV The CSV storage engine stores data not in a binary format, but in the form a CSV (Command Separated Values) file. Because of this, there are limitations to the data stored. It is not an efficient method for storing large volumes of data, or larger data types like BLOB, although such types are supported. There is also no indexing. However, because the data is stored in the CSV format it is exceedingly portable; these CSV files generated can easily be imported into many different software packages, including Excel, OpenOffice and database systems like Access or FileMaker. In general, the CSV engine is impractical as a general database engine. It is, however, probably the most effective and easiest method for data exchange. What makes it so convenient is that we can use SELECT and INSERT statements to create the database, which in turn means that we can easily produce CSV files based on queries of other data. With some careful work, the CSV storage engine can also be used as an effective way of getting information into MySQL. Here, you can create the tables first, shutdown the MySQL server, copy over CSV files that you have exported from Excel, Access or another database, and you can then import the data and copy it over to MyISAM or InnoDB tables. CSV Summary Name CSV Introduced v4.1.4 Default install No Data limitations None Index limitations Indexing is not supported Transaction No Locking level Table BLACKHOLE Strange though it may seem, the BLACKHOLE engine does not actually store any data. Although you can create tables and indexes, all SQL statements that would add or update information to the database are executed without actually writing any data. The database structure is retained, however, and you can create any indexes on the (non-existent) information that you want. Although this seems like a futile exercise, it does allow you to test out database structures and play with table definitions without actually creating any data. Even more useful, however, is that SQL statements on BLACKHOLE databases are written to the binary log, and therefore are replicated to slave databases. You can use this functionality to update one or more slaves directly without writing any local data. There are a number of potential uses for this functionality. One such use I have employed in past is to write log data to a BLACKHOLE table, which is then echoed to two slaves. Because the write is instantaneous (there are no local disk files or indexes to update), I can maintain a high logging rate, and rely on the binary logging and slave replication to distribute the data. An extension of this, as suggested in the MySQL manual, is to use filtering to control the distribution of records to the slaves. BLACKHOLE Summary Name BLACKHOLE Introduced 4.1.11 Default install No Data limitations No data is stored, but statements are written to the binary log (and therefore distributed to slave databases) Index limitations N/A Transaction No Locking level N/A ISAM The ISAM storage engine was the original engine type available with versions of MySQL up until MySQL 3.23, when the MyISAM storage engine was introduced. ISAM has a number of different limitations that make it impractical as a database engine. These include the storage format, which is native to the platform (and therefore not portable between systems), a maximum table size of just 4GB and limited text searching facilities. Indexes are also more limited. Since MyISAM is supported on the same platforms as ISAM, and provides better compatibility, portability and performance. ISAM is included for backwards compatibility, you certainly shouldn't use ISAM for new databases, use MyISAM instead. ISAM Summary Name ISAM Introduced v1.0 Default install Yes Data limitations Limited maximum database size (4GB) Index limitations Maximum 16 indexes per table, 16 parts per key Transaction No Locking level Table Berkeley DB (BDB) The Berkeley DB (or BDB) engine is based on the technology provided by the Berkeley DB storage system developed by SleepyCat software. BDB is a hash based storage mechanism, and the keys to the hash values are stored very efficiently. This makes the recovery of information--especially when accessed directly using a unique key incredibly quick, and by far the quickest of the available database types. Recovering full records is even quicker if you the data is short enough to be stored with the unique key (i.e., under 1024 bytes long). BDB is also one of only two types of storage engine that support transactions. BDB is, however, limited in other ways. Although it uses page locking, locking only 8192 bytes of a table, rather than the entire table, during an update this can cause problems if you are performing a large number of updates in the same page (for example, inserting many rows). There is unfortunately no way round this. Sequential data access--for example a large quantity of rows matching non-indexed data--can be a lot slower because the data needs to be scanned row by row. Recovery of information with BDB tables can also be a problem. Data in BDB is stored in a combination of the key index, the data file and binary data logs. A loss of data in any of these sections, even just one of the data logs, can make the data in the database totally unrecoverable. Where BDB shines therefore is in locations where you can access specific blocks of data by a unique key that does not frequently change. I've successfully used BDB tables in the past to store look up information for data like categories or option lists where the small size and unique key structure make it quick and easy to recover information that is not often changed from its initial definition. Berkeley DB (BDB) Summary Name BDB Introduced v3.23.34a Default install No Data limitations None Index limitations Max 31 indexes per table, 16 columns per index;max key size 1024 bytes Transaction Yes Locking level Page (8192 bytes) InnoDB The InnoDB Engine is provided by Innobase Oy and supports all of the database functionality (and more) of MyISAM engine and also adds full transaction capabilities (with full ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability) compliance) and row level locking of data. The key to the InnoDB system is a database, caching and indexing structure where both indexes and data are cached in memory as well as being stored on disk. This enables very fast recovery, and works even on very large data sets. By supporting row level locking, you can add data to an InnoDB table without the engine locking the table with each insert and this speeds up both the recovery and storage of information in the database. As with MyISAM, there are few data types that cannot effectively be stored in an InnoDB database. In fact, there are no significant reasons why you shouldn't always use an InnoDB database. The management overhead for InnoDB is slightly more onerous, and getting the optimization right for the sizes of in-memory and on disk caches and database files can be complex at first. However, it also means that you get more flexibility over these values and once set, the performance benefits can easily outweigh the initial time spent. Alternatively, you can let MySQL manage this automatically for you. If you are willing (and able) to configure the InnoDB settings for your server, then I would recommend that you spend the time to optimize your server configuration and then use the InnoDB engine as the default. InnoDB Summary Name InnoDB Introduced v3.23 (source only), v4.0 (source and binary) Default install No Data limitations None Index limitations None Transaction support Yes (ACID compliant) Locking level Row Summary As you may have been able to conclude from the above summary of the different storage engines available, there are few reasons not to use either the MyISAM or InnoDB engine types. MyISAM will do in most situations, but if you have a high number of updates or inserts compared to your searches and selects then you will get better performance out of the InnoDB engine. To get the best performance out of InnoDB you need to tweak the parameters for your server, otherwise there is no reason not to use it. But if both MyISAM and InnoDB are so great, why even consider using the other engine types! Simply because they provide specific functionality that is not otherwise available. The MERGE engine is an exceedingly effective way of querying data from multiple, identically defined, tables. The MEMORY engine is the best way to perform a large number of complex queries on data that would be inefficient to search on a disk based engine. The CSV engine is a great way to export data that could be used in other applications. BDB is excellent for data that has a unique key that is frequently accessed. Some of these are possible to do with InnoDB (our separate MyISAM logs, for example, could be combined into a single InnoDB table), but the flexibility to choose an engine type that suits you and the data you are working with is what differentiates MySQL from other solutions.

Autumn and its wonders
I have always been a child of autumn. It started with the fact that my birthday lands on the 13th of October and I have therefore swore autumn to be the best month of the year, except Christmas of course. As I grew older I started appreciate the mere aesthetics of autumn and how beautiful it looks when the leaves change color and dance around in the wind.
When my interest for food started arising- I realised how amazing autumn is- giving us the fruit from their trees and the berries from their bushes. An amazing time for foraging and gathering food which is becoming oh- so important in our time of day. A way to say- you know what? we need to take a step back and look at what we are doing to our world. A way to be kind to it and not abuse it like we are doing- and have been doing for years. Foraging and gathering our own food is a way of saying 'I care' about mother earth.
Wow, that got deep!
Preserved Pears
This weeks recipe is an incredibly easy recipe using freshly picked autumn pears. Perfect for a simple dessert or to be used baked goods. The wonderful thing about preserving fruit is that it keeps for months- even years in a dark room!
Warming spices such as cinnamon, cloves, and star anise are flavors that compliments the pears and pairs incredibly well in a recipe like this. You could also consider vanilla and nutmeg.
All you need to do is put a bunch of pears in a clean sanitized jar, pour over sugar water and spices and boil for some minutes in a saucepan! Easy!
Preserved Pears
2 liter water
500 g sugar
1 tsp cloves, whole
2 star anise
2 cinnamon sticks
8 pears
2 one-liter jars
- Start by sanitizing the jars and lid.
- Bring water and sugar to a boil.
- Add the spices and let boil for 10 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- Peel the pears and add them to the jars.
- Pour over the sugar water.
- Add the lid and transfer to a deep saucepan with water.
- Boil the jars for 20 minutes to create a vacume.
- Remove from the water and let cool upside down (lid facing down).
- Store in a cool and dark place (cuppboard) for years.
This is a base recipe for any preserved fruits- so if you have a whole bunch of different kinds you want to preserve- go for it!
You can sanitize a jar two ways; either boil them for a couple of minutes or put them in the oven on 100 degrees celcius for 10 minutes. I prefer the latter because you can sanitize many at a time and avoid burning issues.

We believe the sixty-six books included in the Old and New Testament are God's word to us. Each week we open these sacred scriptures to be strengthened and challenged by what we read.
Jesus taught us how to honor, use, and live by the scriptures throughout His earthly ministry. He asked his first disciples (followers) to go into all the world and make more disciples by teaching them to obey all that He commanded. We feel compelled to do the same.
For anyone who has attempted to obey the commands of Jesus, you've probably found that this can be simple in theory but difficult in application. We've discovered there is big difference between knowing what Jesus said and obeying what Jesus said. We believe the local church is an incredible resource for anyone looking to live their life aligned with God's Word. If you need help discerning what the Bible says or you're wondering how to follow Jesus' commands, we'd invite you to join us as we.
We find honesty really attractive and we believe God does too. We've found that being honest with God and each other creates connection & healthy relationships. We've also found that honesty with ourselves is essential if we're going to let the Bible influence and direct our lives.
We've found that our lives can easily become all about looking good, staying comfortable and being right. As we've allowed ourselves to be challenged by scripture, we've ended up walking in greater faith & extending more trust – with both God and each other. So we are constantly inviting members of our family to risk their comfort, their reputation, and their pride as we discover what it means to obey God's Word.
As a community we desire to be led by the Holy Spirit. We look to Jesus to understand what it means to be "Spirit-filled." When Jesus was baptized, the Spirit descended on Him and when Jesus began his public ministry he said that the Spirit had anointed Him to preach good news, to heal the sick, and to deliver people who were in bondage. The church now continues on this same mission by the power of the same Holy Spirit.
When God created the Heavens and the Earth we are told the Holy Spirit was hovering over the waters, ready to carry out the design. The first person in scripture to be filled with the Spirit was not a preacher or a worship leader, but a craftsman, empowered to devise and carry out artistic designs. We believe that the Holy Spirit will inspire creativity and give us new ways to reveal God to those around us. We embrace and celebrate creativity as a reflection of our God who has created no two things alike.
The Bible refers to GIFTS that are given by the Spirit – divinely inspired abilities that reflect God and empower His church for ministry. We believe that these gifts are to mark the life of the Church today and we seek to exercise them within biblical guidelines at Radiant. We also desire the FRUIT of the Spirit. When we live our lives according to God's Holy Spirit, we will produce fruit – love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. We want both the gifts of the Spirit and the fruit of the Spirit to mark our community so that we can reveal Jesus to those around us.
God is on a mission to fill the whole earth with His glory. It brings us joy and satisfaction to join Him. Jesus came to reveal God through his words & deeds so that people could place their faith in God and glorify Him. Glory means "weight" and when we glory in something or someone it becomes the weightiest thing in our life. We're wanting the mission of God – His glory – to become the thing that our lives revolve around. We desire to live in a way that would reveal God's love to others and invite them to place their faith in Him. Jesus understood that He had been sent and commissioned and in the same way we've been sent and commissioned to carry out God's plan.
We want to actively and prayerfully pursue people the way Jesus did. We are not sitting back waiting for people to come to us or to our services. If there is a bridge to cross then we want to be the ones to cross it.
We believe Jesus has been gracious and generous with us. We want to reflect Him by being open-handed with what we have. Giving was something that God decided to do in advance so we've made an intentional decision to be a group that gives what we have to those in need.
We can not put the brilliance of Jesus on display without being ready and willing to serve. Jesus emptied Himself and became a servant for our sake. At Radiant we ask every person who is serious about becoming more like Jesus to serve others.

Job Title: Pastry Chef
Where: Oakland, California
Employer: Self-Employed – SugarSweet Pastries
Years of Experience: 3
Education: California Culinary Academy, San Francisco, California
Salary: See PayScale's Research Center for the median pastry chef salary.
What is the Salary of a Pastry Chef?
Looking for a delicious career? For readers interested in pastry chef salaries, the qualifications to become a pastry chef and other career information, our interview with chef David Benton has all the right ingredients.
In this Salary Story, David told us about the outlook for pastry chef jobs in America, the education needed for a pastry chef, and different jobs for a pastry chef, including hotel and restaurant positions. David discussed how jobs for a pastry chef can be competitive and come with certain expectations, plus lessons learned in culinary school and on the job. He also explained how education and experience impact pastry chef jobs and gave insight into how different employers can affect the working conditions and salary of a pastry chef.
If you're interested in becoming a pastry chef, then take few moments to learn more about this creative career. Bon Appetit!
Pastry Chef Job Description:
First, my job involves prepping – preparing ingredients, basking, chopping and mixing ingredients. You have to make sure the ingredients are ready before you start baking (the night before or earlier). You don't want to start prepping while you cook. I run my own kitchen inside a church. I create cookies, cakes, cupcakes, tarts and pies.
Clients contact me and place their orders. I can drop it off, or they come pick it up. My marketing is a combination of word of mouth and advertising. I have a menu, it's shaped like a greeting card; on the inside of the card is the menu. I send them to friends who pass them on, co-workers pass them on. I know about marketing from working at an ad agency a couple of years ago.
Can you tell us your pastry chef career steps?
Education is the key to increasing your salary as a Pastry Chef. There are degrees and certifications that will increase your salary and make you a more valuable employee. In this economic downturn, education is a key strategy for a successful career as a Pastry Chef. Click here to Research Degrees.
I started cooking when I was 8-years-old, I was a latch-key kid; back then, I never thought of cooking as a profession. When I went to culinary school, I took the Cordon Bleu program which includes everything, including a baking class. After I took my first baking class, I knew it was what I really wanted to do. There was a beginner baking course, and I couldn't wait to take the intermediate. It covered all types of baking: scones, biscuits, croissants, cakes and cookies. What attracted me was the color and artistry.
Then I did an internship in a high-end pastry shop. It was a lot of hard work, early hours in a bakery in Berkeley, California. Then I worked at a upscale hotel. It was negative, and soured me to working in the industry. It started off positive. It had a lot of potential to be fun. What soured it was the people, there was a lot of drama and stress every single day; it took away the joy of cooking.
People were upset that I was given leadership, even though they had more experience. I had the enthusiasm that the people, who hired me, liked. It was pretty cut-throat. After working in the hotel, I went to work on my own. I devised a menu, and used all I learned at the pastry shop and hotel, and incorporated them into my own business. Now, I have a lot more fun and control.
What advice would you give to those interested in pastry chef jobs?
Think hard if you really want to do it, make sure you have a passion for it. There is a lot of sacrifice. If you work in a high-end restaurant, the schedule may change. If a restaurant closes at midnight, you'll be there an hour later. Or you may have to be there early. Culinary school can give you a preconcieved idea of how a restaurant wants you to be, but restaurants usually don't want you to be that way at all. They want to mold and train you.
They actually don't want you to have a culinary education, or sometimes they like you to have some culinary education. If you work at a large restaurant or hotel restaurant, without an education, you're gonna start as a prep clerk. With a culinary education, you could be a lead pastry chef; it depends on the restaurant. It's not as stressful in a small town, but in a large city, you're around ambitious people. There are more opportunities available to you, but people are clawing their way up.
When I entered the work force, I thought everyone would be quietly cooking – that was my preconcieved view. At school they told us it would be like that, but it's different when you're in it. Culinary school is for someone who wants to strike out on their own, you pick up tricks and techniques in school, but you pick up more in the industry.
What do you enjoy the most about being a pastry chef?
One of the most enjoyable things is having control over my business. I have spare time to try out new recipes and get to work with fine people. Every now and then, I have an assistant that helps me. I just started teaching private classes in people's homes. That's really fun, I get to answer questions that people have.
What factors can affect pastry chef salaries?
Hotels normally pay the best because they're usually unionized. A pastry chef salary is pretty decent if you work in a hotel like I did. Pastry chef salaries have a lot to do with your level of skill, experience and reputation as a cook and baker. The size of the restaurant can also affect pastry chef salaries; learning cake decorating can up your pastry chef salary.
What is the outlook for pastry chef jobs in America?
The outlook for pastry chef jobs in America is good. You can't outsource pastry chef jobs, diets do not affect this industry; it doesn't matter if people are doing low carb, business doesn't drop off. That said, I have seen people interested in alternative sugars because they have health issues like diabetes, but people are never going to stop eating sweets.
So if you can add a healthy edge to it, that could be marketable, but you don't want to sacrifice the taste. There may be changes, like using alternatives to sugars, but employment won't change. I worked at a high-end pastry shop, and there were lines out the door; it has to do with quality.

Acushnet brand will enter full line golf apparel business from 2012
Sporting the range: Steve Stricker has been wearing prototype Footjoy apparel so far this season
From March 2012, FootJoy will begin shipping a new line of apparel, as the brand looks to expand its reputation as golf's No.1 selling shoe and glove.
The offering will feature a full range of men's golf apparel, comprising performance fabrics, which will complement the existing line of advanced outerwear.
Once complete, the move will signal FootJoy's transition into all categories of golf clothing.
"Following our success in the outerwear category, including the recently launched and highly popular layering system, the time has come for FootJoy to enter the full line men's golf apparel business," said Andy Jones, vice president, gloves/accessories/apparel, worldwide.
"This strategic initiative has been carefully considered for several years and is supported by an extremely sophisticated and comprehensive study."
The new line will debut with a core range of essentials that will be in stock from next season.
Planned are several colour story collections that incorporate contemporary styles and patterns, as well as a variety of performance fabrics.
FootJoy, which first entered the golf outerwear category in 1997 with the launch of DryJoys rainwear, has already indicated that the design of its new products will be focussed specifically on golf – "FootJoy's sole passion".
Since '97, the brand has been innovating in construction and the use of new materials that can stand up to all conditions.
It leads the outerwear category in the USA and is also among the UK's favourites.
Particularly popular was the 2010 launch of FJ's layering system, which was developed to meet the needs of golfers who want apparel that regulates body temperature and adapts to the weather. It includes garments designed for wet, windy, cold and warm conditions.
"I continue to be impressed with the quality, fit, comfort and overall performance of FootJoy apparel," said PGA Tour player Steve Stricker, who's tested prototype garments on tour.
"The layering system is absolutely terrific, allowing me to regulate my body temperature based upon changing conditions. In addition, the new performance lisle shirts I have been wearing all year are superb."
Jim Connor, president of FootJoy, has been equally impressed by the upcoming additions and praised the transition into another market.
He said: "We're excited about the opportunity to move into an adjacent business and believe the timing is right.
"We have the right people and support in place to be as successful in performance golf apparel as we are in our golf footwear, glove and sock categories.
"This represents an important step forward in FootJoy's mission to enhance enjoyment of the game for golfers everywhere."

This morning after breakfasting with Mr. Andrews I walk'd leisurely to Boston. Just before I left Cambridge the parts for exhibition were distributed: Charles has a dialogue with Emerson: the circumstance gave me more pleasure than any allotment that I ever had, myself.
As soon as I arrived in Boston, I immediately went to Court, and found them engaged upon the trial of one John Shehane for burglary. The attorney general1 began, in behalf of the commonwealth. He examined his witnesses and said but little, observing that he should wait to see what defence the counsel for the prisoner, had to make.
Mr. Wetmore2 spoke first for the prisoner; at the first outset, he attempted to address the passions of the jury, Mr. Dawes who sat next to me observ'd that this was a bad omen. The pathetic he said should always be reserved for the latter part of the plea: a man should gradually grow warm (said he) as he advances in his subject; like a wheel, which acquires heat by rolling.
The evidence which Mr. Wetmore produced, was very favorable to the prisoner. If true it proved an alibi; and it proved likewise that Shehane, had bought the articles, which he was charged with stealing: but they told so many different stories, and the attorney general produced such evidence, that they were perjured; that I think no stress could be laid upon it.
Mr. Tudor spoke much at length in the afternoon; and very ably: Mr. Paine, closed for the Commonwealth, at about 7 in the evening. All the judges (there were four present) appeared to be of opinion that the prisoner was guilty. At half past 8, the jury was pack'd,3 and the court adjourn'd for an hour: but the jury had not then agreed upon a verdict; upon which the court adjourn'd till 9 o'clock to-morrow morning.
I was so entirely engaged the whole day in hearing this trial, which was very interesting; that I had no time, to go any where else. Between 10 and 11 at night I carried my bundle to Mr. Colman's, from whose house the stage setts off, and I took a bed there, in order to be ready to go very early in the morning.
1. Robert Treat Paine, attorney general from 1777 to 1790 (Sibley-Shipton, Harvard Graduates description begins John Langdon Sibley and Clifford K. Shipton, Biographical Sketches of Graduates of Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Cambridge and Boston, 1873- . description ends , 12:462–482).
2. William Wetmore, a Boston attorney (same, 17:447–451).
3. In this sense, sent out to deliberate upon a verdict.

Inspire older people with the Ageing with Energy and Zest Hypnosis Script
Getting older is viewed with trepidation and dismay by many people. Partly they fear the imagined physical difficulties they might face, and partly they are responding to the negative stereotypes of old age which are prevalent in society today.
Few people realise that their experience of ageing is largely a construct - made up of personal and social expectation. Although, of course, the body changes as it grows older, what these changes mean in the life of the individual is highly susceptible to modification.
The Natural Ant-Aging Script from The Script Collection has been written to help counteract the perceived inevitability of decline and to encourage individuals to take charge of their own response to their physical ageing in ways that promote healthy, energy and enjoyment.
The pre-talk briefly debunks the received stereotypes and explains how to escape their influence.
The induction takes the individual through the process of rejuvenation through relaxation - an important skill to acquire for those who would remain youthful.
A metaphorical recollection of previously experienced youthfulness and energy is activated and magnified and locked in with embedded directions. Future orientation offers an opportunity to 'practise' living healthily and youthfully and thus integrate the new attitude to life.

The day started a bit cloudy, but with perfect temperatures considering that I would not be high up in the mountains this last day. I stopped early on to put in some extra air in my tyres and, now when I think of it, this might be the reason I later on had a flat (it could have been slowly leaking air even before). I was going to take the first possible obviously asphalted road over the ridge eastward. The tiny road climbing over the ridge that is clearly visible on maps (apart from detailed Michelin maps of the area) starting in Séttimo Vittone (286m) is not so obvious. I think it might have been sign-posted for Nomáglio, but I am not sure. You should find it if you go up a road that climbs in the right direction.
This road is quite nice and varied. It is also has a bit steep ramps here and there. Above Nomáglio the road meets up with another road and now the road becomes wide, better and less steep. The road now sometimes goes through the woods. After a while you will reach Andrate which is located just below the ridge on the side you are climbing. In Andrate they had shops and I stopped for a somewhat early lunch at the most central grocery shop. I had a great sandwich and coke. The lady asked if I wanted a drinking straw for the soda! I did not dare to say yes as a young kid was waiting behind me ;-). The lunch was 3 euros or so – (my sister's boyfriend claimed they are so much cheaper in Italy only because they seldom pay taxes in shops, but I wonder if that is the whole truth).
The road continues up a little bit more to Castello Rubino (850m) which marks the high point of the ridge here (this is also referred to as Croce Serra – George Rossini (in his book on the Italian road passes) claims this is a pass and the name is 'Valico di Croce Serra'). The road down to Biella via Netro is quite nice and very good. There should also be a higher road from Andrate, but it was not clear to me that it would be asphalted so I did not try it (I also missed it, I think). Just after Netro I sort of passed a very minor pass (really just a group of houses), called Colla di Netro (actually I think there are at least 2-3 places along the road that looks more like passes than this). The road goes a bit up and down lower down and you may start to wonder where Biella might be. I must say I was totally confused by the geography and after a while I had no clue of which direction Biella was in (apart from not being up the mountains).
Eventually I found the way into Biella (392m) and went through town on one of the long cobblestoned roads in the city. I went down the other side down to a river and then had to consult the map a couple of times in order to find the road out of town that I planned on taking (I think the road number (SP200) was helping here, but the road numbers later did not help me). I went up to Livero and Pettinengo on a road that is somewhat similar in having nice views over the Po plains, but only from a lower altitude than the wonderful road over Bochetta di Sessera/Bielmonte. There are some obvious passes along this road, but not clearly so named on maps or signs: (Sella di) Livera (798m) and (Sella di) Banchette (677m) (pass names from Rossini's book).
While the views up on this road was nice for a while, I soon got concerned about loosing air from my rear tire. I tried to get to a restaurant so that I could stop and eat something while fixing the flat or if possible find a gas station or bicycle shop. I went on for a long time with nearly no air hanging on my handle bars until I found a restaurant and next to it was a car repair garage. I was happy to get some help from the man there, who had to work hard to get one of his adapters for cars to work with my road bike, but finally came up with a solution (similar to the one they had already made at the previous gas station I had stopped at). It was well worth it as it is not so fun using my own little pump, which is good, but it is very hard to get some real pressure in the tyre that I can feel comfortable with going full speed on roads like these.
The restaurant was a sandwich place, so another sandwich for me. Here (I think this was at Mosso) I took the wrong road and continued up to where the Sessera mountain road comes down – Trivero (756m). From here I was on the same road as last year on my next to last day of that year's tour. A nice descent down to Coggiola with some deformities in the asphalt. I was thinking of taking another road over to Borgosesia, but it became just the same little road again, but now it was a bit better than last year and less traffic this time.
I thought I should take a chance on finding my way out of Borgosesia and up over the only well recognised pass this day, but I first came on a wrong little road before I asked someone and found the right road. I had originally thought to climb some lesser known minor passes in the area on some small roads, but I was a bit tired of this now and the countryside here is not very interesting. I had only in the back of my head that if there would be time over for anything than I would try and get up the Il Mottarone – a tough climb up to a mountain top overlooking Lago Maggiore and Lago di Orta (and a BIG climb). I had not noted that one had to go back a bit on the other side of the river through Borgosesia to get on the road up to Valduggia.
The climb up to the tunnel at Colle della Cremosina (535m) is very easy on a good road. As if I had not been getting lost a bit too much on this trip already, I now actually had no map with me for the rest of the day's trip (partly because I had planned a slightly different route back). My map ended at the height of this pass and thus when I was down at Pogno and wanted to get around the Lago di Orta on the south side I had no map to follow, but thought I could see the Mottarone mountain and thus guess my way in that direction. I continued to Gozzano and then Bolzano Novarese (not the Bolzano in the South Tyrol). Even though I knew approximately where I was heading, I could no longer quite see the Mottarone and when I came to Ameno I confused this with Armeno, which is a bit further along this road. I knew Armeno was the start of the climb up to the Mottarone and here also appears a sign for Il Mottarone ahead, combined with a steep ramp ahead, I thought this must be Armeno.
I had just decided that I probably would not really have time to climb the Mottarone if I wanted to get back to Bergamo before midnight and I really did not want to repeat my coming just after midnight back to the brothers Bed & Breakfast once again (even though they would probably not be surprised). I knew that one could turn east through Armeno and get down to Lago Maggiore and then have an easy road down to Varese where I could take the train back to Bergamo. I had first thought to take a ferry across Lago Maggiore after having climbed over Il Mottarone and take the train from the other side of the lake back to Bergamo.
I went up to Ameno, but something suggested this was not right – the roads where too narrow and it did not look as if there were any obvious road through the village. Still I decided to take my chance on a small narrow road descending on the back of the village. It went steeply down and then steeply up in serpentines – this was not the road. I stopped a man coming down in a jeep and asked if I could get over to the Lago Maggiore here and he said not with my bicycle and I took his advice and returned. As I was not too keen on taking the same road back I tried to descend the other side toward Armeno, but I still had no map and was now more confused than ever. I still had not really understood that Armeno was in front of me. Also, I knew the road via Armeno was not the fastest road to Varese. Now I was really beginning to understand that I was in a bit of a hurry to get to Varese to be sure to get on a suitable train back to Bergamo.
Finally I realised that it was not cheating to have a look on my iPhone! I had told myself not to use it for such things as consulting maps, as it could cost a lot of money with roaming charges, but now I really would be stupid not to use it and it proved to be very helpful as I could locate in less than a minute where I was and see the best (fastest) road to take to Varese. A Dutch couple stopped in a car also looking lost at the same roundabout where I had stopped and asked if I wanted to find the road up the Mottarone perhaps ;-).
I went back the same road to Bolzano and then took the small road over to Invorio (lots of ups and downs on a narrow road with many cars). I had to stop and pick out my iPhone perhaps 3 more times before I got to Arona, from where it is sign-posted to Varese and very easy to find the way. The stretch through Arona to Sesto Calende (10 km) is a flat road jammed with cars and lined with outlet stores. No cars could keep half my speed down here – I just had to be careful in passing by them.
I had no extra inner tube and was a bit worried to have yet another flat now, so I tried to be more careful than usual so that I would not run over stones etc. After a quick stop by a grocery store around Vergiate for a banana and coke, I had long sections where they had removed the asphalt from the road. Not just what I had asked for! I knew more or less the times for the trains from Varese so I hurried to get by a train that could take me to Bergamo so I could have dinner there. The distances are not consistently marked on the road to Varese and when I thought I had 9 km left, I was in fact only 1 km away from Varese. I had been going above 30 km/h on average from Arona. I had some luck in finding the way through the confusing town of Varese and got to the correct train station (one other is nearby). I had 20 minutes before the next train and got a ticket for me and the bicycle. Then I went out on town to try and find some water to have with me on the train ride and drink a coffee. I eventually found a coffee place and had a coffee and a dry cake, but I did not find any place that sold water at reasonable prices, so I gave up and returned to the train. I was just in time and jumped on the train forgetting to stamp my ticket. This time they were not just looking the other way, but anyway I did not have to pay 50 euro as could happen, but had to pay 5 euros. Maybe I should have bought the expensive water and stamped the ticket – so it goes when you want to save money.
I had a last photo from the train window over Varese. The train ride to Bergamo can be very slow at times and this was no exception – I almost wondered if the personnel had abandoned the train at one point and went to have a look out the station where we had stopped. I talked with some young guys on the way down to Venice to sell jewelry (sort of) to tourists. I had something simple to eat at a central bar in the Città Alta in Bergamo as much was closed down for some reason in Bergamo this day and some nice Belgian beers. The travel back home went reasonably well, though I had to wait half an hour at the central station for the bus to the airport as I had just missed the previous bus going straight to the airport when the ticket machine in Città Alta had not worked.
Later this year I went to take part of the Ötztaler Radmarathon and was shortly interviewed for the German Tour magazine (biggest bicycle magazine in Europe). Then I went down for a three day weekend in Liguria to take part in a BIG meeting between mountain cyclists, like myself.

If you have seen this one before it was newly revamped and better than ever so you might want to consider a second visit. From the French Maids passing out scrumptious strawberries to the entire cast of performers, Zumanity is one hot show from start to finish.

We had a very frightening experience. I was driving the car on the interstate at a higher speed when the sunroof exploded! The bang was deafening! Before this happened, the sunroof was closed, all windows were closed and the air conditioning was on. There were no cars near us, so no one threw anything; plus we were not on a bridge. When I took it to the Lexus dealership, I was told that there was not a problem and that something had to have hit the sunroof for it to explode. I asked them why was the remaining glass bowed outward. It would have been bowed into the car if something had hit it. They had no response. They also stated that they didn't see any record of this happening to this make/model. While researching, I have found multiple cases like mine, with my make/model. It might be cheap glass and/or a roof-design flaw. Whatever caused it, it is a Very dangerous problem and there might even be cases where accidents happened due to it and afterwards no one knew that is what caused the accident. So you can see why we are scared to drive our car. In your experience have you heard of this before and can you tell me if there is a fix for this so that we can safely drive our car again?

Hello there, this is an extremely rare circumstance. In my research I have found several claims from various manufactures with spontaneous glass breaking from either the windows or sunroof. This can happen for a variety of reason from cracks to manufacturing flaws. I can't provide an answer as to why this happened any many factors would come into play. In any case the glass should be able to be replaced and last normally. If you'd like a second opinion on this, a qualified Technician, such as one from YourMechanic, will be able to inspect your window and figure out how this happened.

Jewish Citizens on Exhibit | Alma Heckman
l'Alliance Israélite Universelle, the Chicago World's Fair and the Ottoman Empire
Alma Heckman is a doctoral candidate in the Department of History at UCLA focusing on communist movements and Jewish politics in Morocco (see departmental page)Chris Gratien is a doctoral candidate at Georgetown University researching the social environmental history of the Ottoman Empire and the modern Middle East (see academia.edu)
Progress, colonialism, nationalism, and the civilizing mission are all concepts associated with the late nineteenth century that were on display at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. In this podcast, Alma Heckman discusses the ways in which l'Alliance Israélite Universelle, a Jewish philanthropic organization founded in Paris in 1860, participated in the exposition and in doing so, highlights the ways in which the group's ideology and activities in the realm of education in the Middle East and North Africa contribute to our understanding of these important notions.

The following problems were fixed in Apache Tomcat version 6.0.35:
Important: Information disclosure CVE-2011-3375
For performance reasons, information parsed from a request is often cached in two places: the internal request object and the internal processor object. These objects are not recycled at exactly the same time. When certain errors occur that needed to be added to the access log, the access logging process triggers the re-population of the request object after it has been recycled. However, the request object was not recycled before being used for the next request. That lead to information leakage (e.g. remote IP address, HTTP headers) from the previous request to the next request. The issue was resolved be ensuring that the request and response objects were recycled after being re-populated to generate the necessary access log entries. This was fixed in revision 1185998.
Important: Authentication bypass and information disclosure CVE-2011-3190
Apache Tomcat supports the AJP protocol which is used with reverse proxies to pass requests and associated data about the request from the reverse proxy to Tomcat. The AJP protocol is designed so that when a request includes a request body, an unsolicited AJP message is sent to Tomcat that includes the first part (or possibly all) of the request body. In certain circumstances, Tomcat did not process this message as a request body but as a new request. This permitted an attacker to have full control over the AJP message permitting authentication bypass and information disclosure.
Important: Denial of service CVE-2012-0022
Analysis of the recent hash collision vulnerability identified unrelated inefficiencies with Apache Tomcat's handling of large numbers of parameters and parameter values. These inefficiencies could allow an attacker, via a specially crafted request, to cause large amounts of CPU to be used which in turn could create a denial of service. The issue was addressed by modifying the Tomcat parameter handling code to efficiently process large numbers of parameters and parameter values. This was fixed in revisions 1200601, 1206324 and 1229027.
Affected Apache Tomcat versions (6.0.0 - 6.0.33).
Upgrade to the latest version of Apache Tomcat.

Coronavirus confirmed in South Sudan's crowded civilian protection camp: UN
For the first time, COVID-19 has been confirmed in a crowded civilian protection camp in South Sudan's capital, the United Nations said on Tuesday, a worrying development in a country that's one of the world's least prepared for the virus' spread.
The UN is aware that the health ministry and World Health Organization have confirmed the two cases in the camp in Juba, said Francesca Mold, a spokeswoman with the UN mission in South Sudan.
The health ministry's emergency preparedness manager, Dr Mathew Tut, said the two infected people were South Sudanese and in their 20s. South Sudan was one of the last countries in Africa to confirm a case of the disease and now has 174.
For more coronavirus news, visit our dedicated page.
As of mid-April more than 190,000 people were still sheltering in several UN-run civilian protection camps across South Sudan, more than a year after a peace deal ended a five-year civil war. Nearly 30,000 are sheltering in Juba.
The prospect of the coronavirus' spread to refugee and displaced persons' camps in Africa, the Middle East and Asia has alarmed health and other aid officials as often remote locations, travel restrictions and shortages of medical supplies make any containment and treatment extremely challenging.
As of late April, almost none of the 10 million people packed into such camps around the world had been tested for the virus, The Associated Press found.
Aid workers in South Sudan have warned there is little more than isolation centers in place to treat people if the virus begins to spread in the crowded camps. The country's health system relies on NGOs for almost all health services.
Most of the infected people so far have been treated at home instead of being isolated at the Dr. John Garang Infectious Diseases Unit, which the WHO has said is being expanded from 24 beds to 80.
Last week the South Sudan Doctors' Union expressed concern over the government's decision to partly relax virus lockdown measures, saying it "does not see urgency" in doing so as the number of cases are rising. Most cases in the past month were from local transmission, the union said.
Bars, restaurants and markets have resumed business.

There is nothing like a neon sign, especially a Heineken neon sign, which may be the best type of neon sign you can get your hands on. One reason for this is because Heineken is one of the best brands out there and it is recognized by people from all around the world. There are many reasons why this sign is well-liked, and you should get it regardless of what your needs are. If you want to know what some of these reasons are, then continue to read the rest of this article from Neonstation.
1. It Is Aesthetically Pleasing- It is important for neon signs to be aesthetically pleasing because if they are not, then there is no use getting one. Those who have created a neon sign must have paid close attention to the details. In other words, the creators should have left no stone un-turned in order to make sure the sign looks great.
This sign will grab people's attention because of the way it looks. It is a one of a kind sign and you and others will appreciate it. If you want a great looking sign, then look no further than a neon sign here.
2. It Is Robust- You want to get a neon sign, hang it up and then leave it there without worrying whether or not it will die out. If you get the wrong sign, then this will happen, and eventually it will break and then you can say goodbye to your investment. This is why you want to go with this sign because it has been put together in a way that ensures it will last and it has a lot of durability.
3. It's A Good Size-When it comes to neon signs, the size matters because the last thing you want is to get a sign that is not the right size because it won't fit properly. If you want a good sized sign, then this is the one you want to buy and it's worth mentioning it looks good and it isn't that small. It also saves you time because you won't have to waste time looking for other types of signs to take up the other space. The bottom line is this neon sign is the perfect size and you will notice that as soon as you hang it up.
Heineken signs are great and as soon as you buy one, you will see exactly why it is a good investment, so you shouldn't go out and shop around for other signs because you will be wasting your time. It doesn't matter if you have just created your own man cave or if you have a bar, you will want to get the right type of sign, and that sign is a Heineken sign. Do yourself a favor and buy this pleasant looking sign and hang it up as soon as possible, and before you know it, your guests will be impressed every single time they come over and you too will love looking at it.

Fire Damage Cleanup
From small grease fires in the kitchen to fully engulfed homes, Ameristeam has been there for over two decades helping people put their lives back together after devastation. The destruction that a fire brings into people's lives is heartbreaking; it is important to us to be there to help our communities and assist people on their road to recovery.
Most fires are caused either by structural failures (bad wiring, malfunctioning appliances, etc.) or human error (grease fires, smoking, fireworks, etc.). Ameristeam technicians can help put the pieces back together after a loss! By using scientifically proven techniques to restore both buildings and the contents inside, we can speed up the recovery process and get the affected person(s) back to normal in no time!
Smoke Damage Cleanup
Smoke and soot can travel and penetrate into other rooms of your home or business, affecting paint, carpet, upholstery, drapes, clothing and any personal or family belongings.There are two groups of fire – simple and complex.
Simple fires are fueled by pure fuels and generally result in complete combustion. Complex fuels, the most common house fire, are fueled by synthetic materials in carpets, furniture, toys, wiring, etc. and generally result in incomplete combustion and the production of soot and acid deposits.
No matter how big or small your fire, you have two problems afterward: to clean the smoke and soot and eliminate the stubborn odors they generate and leave behind.
We will divide the areas of concern down for you and deal with each separately. Fortunately different materials and degrees of damage don't all require different products -just a change of technique or dilution to safely clean the surface and restore your property to full value. Our certified technicians have been through these battles before and are on call 24/7 to immediately begin the fire restoration process so you can get your life back in order.
At Ameristeam, we use the most up-to-date equipment and procedures to ensure odor removal. Depending on what type of odor is being removed, and if there is smoke or soot, this several-step process of cleaning ensures the best result. In most smoke and soot damages, Air Scrubbers are installed to filter out particulate from the air before the walls, ceilings, floors, and contents are wet cleaned using an odor counteractant followed by Ozone. Ozone is used because it converts smoke odors into harmless, odorless CO2 & water vapor. Odors from smoke damaged carpet, upholstery, and furniture are banished forever. The unused ozone simply reverts back to ordinary oxygen, leaving no perfume or unpleasant fragrance behind. Ozone uses no chemicals, perfumes, or masking agents.
Structural Restoration
After a fire, large or small, it can be difficult to tell exactly how much damage has been done to the structure. Ameristeam Restoration can work with the affected parties and their insurance companies to ensure that both the visible damage and the unseen damage is identified and restored! Our technicians are trained in a variety of different testing techniques, and are dedicated to restoring the property to its pre-loss condition. Once the damage has been identified, our technicians determine which strategy will best purge the ash and smoke from the building and proceed room-by-room throughout the building. By using a room-by-room, "top down" approach, we ensure that no section of the structure is left untouched. Over the last 18 years, we have developed some of the most efficient and effective ways to rebuild and restore property value. We keep an open mind, continually considering and trying more creative ways to get the job done while meeting the needs of customers and insurance companies. We have the ability to surround you with the most skilled minds in the industry. Find it comforting to know that we have been through these battles before, and will smoothly restore your property to full value. During most smoke or fire situations, the HVAC system will also have to be purged and deodorized. Ameristeam Restoration offers duct cleaning services as a part of our complete Fire Restoration process.
Occasionally, once a home has been cleaned, there is still a lingering smell of smoke and soot in the air. Through the use of specialty air-neutralization and deodorization techniques, we can create an environment that is actually cleaner than before the loss happened!
So your structure is clean… but what about everything inside? Does it all have to be replaced?
The answer is NO!
Contents Restoration
Tips for After a Fire or Smoke Loss
• Do NOT consume food or drink product that has been in a fire damaged environment.

Important: SermonAudio tags will appear on some of the messages found on this web site. We are not in any way affiliated with SermonAudio! Please read the following explanation.
Those who listen to archived sermons or Heart of the Matter programs on this web site will notice that, currently, when they download some of those sermons and HOM programs that a SermonAudio logo appears. This is because Pilgrims Covenant Church messages were for a number of years posted at SermonAudio. But due to the increasingly deep compromise of SermonAudio in posting sermons from ministers unfaithful either in doctrine or practice or both, and also on account of the many corrupt conferences advertised on SermonAudio, we withdrew from SermonAudio. However, I did not realize when posting our sermons and programs on that site on a page for which we paid that the management was tagging our MP3 files with the logo of SermonAudio. We are working to remove the SermonAudio logo from all of the sermons and programs posted on this site which were previously posted at SermonAudio. However, this takes much time; so we felt it important to post this explanation and also this warning concerning SermonAudio, a web site with many sound ministers, but also many which are corrupting the Lord's blood-bought church.
