He moves effortlessly from caller to in-studio guest to news segments, pulling facts and tidbits of information out of the air. When you leave, you sense that what you saw was magic — explainable with a hint of extraordinary.
As an actor and business owner, Sanders moves easily among roles, from working with clients to directing and starring in a production or putting guests at ease on the AM 1450 WBHF morning show.
Ask Sanders which job he treasures most and none of his occupations come close to the title of father. Whether in the booth or on the stage, the father of four certainly leaves the audience wanting more.
NAME: Alan J. Sanders
OCCUPATION: Radio host, actor/director and owner of AJS Productions, a website and production development company
CITY OF RESIDENCE: Cartersville
EDUCATION: Bachelor of Science in Psychology, with minors in English literature, creative writing and performance communications
FAMILY: Married to Susan Delmonico; four daughters: Ashton Sanders, 16; Lexie Delmonico, 15; Elena Sanders, 13; and Sophie Delmonico, 11
You have your hand in a variety of areas — radio, acting, entrepreneur — how did you come to be involved in those areas?
A: Radio was an endeavor I more or less stumbled into thanks to a meeting I had back in 2000 with Matt Santini. At the time, he was doing the Saturday morning show and invited me as a guest to discuss local theatre happenings and other events of the day, and I had a blast. He invited me back a few times and eventually made the offer to bring me on as a co-host. Several years later, an opportunity to co-host the morning show on AM 1450 WBHF became available. Thanks to having a work-from-home classification — at that time — with IBM and getting permission from my boss, I have been doing the morning show since 2007.
Acting is a different matter. Those who know me have heard this story already. In college, I was much more interested in writing. Getting on stage in front of an audience was literally the furthest from my mind. During my sophomore year, a new class was offered, taught by Dr. John Gentile at Kennesaw State University, called, "Folklore and Storytelling." It was billed as a new class that would delve into the history and roots of stories across cultures and how they were passed down through generations. I thought it would be a good class to take to aid in my writing. I had no idea that the word "storytelling" in the title of that class literally meant to stand in front of an audience and tell a story.
Halfway through the class I was failing. I had never failed a class in my life. My professor, who chose not to give up on me, gave me a chance to wipe the slate clean and start over if I could work on a story to tell at Callanwolde Fine Arts Center during an evening of storytelling, and thankfully, I knocked it out of the park. Shortly thereafter, I was invited to audition for a show and somehow — I had no idea what I was doing — got cast in the show. And I've been doing it ever since.
Entrepreneur? I like the sound of it, but it feels like a label that belongs to someone else. I still can't believe that I own my own business, and after over two years, we continue to gain reputation and clients. I have to thank my wife on this one. I had been with IBM for over 13 years and had learned an awful lot while there, from writing intellectual property agreements to managing the IT infrastructure for all of the eBusiness development houses across North America to being a worldwide project manager. I thought I'd be with IBM the rest of my life. But, during the economic downturn of 2008, I was laid off and spent almost a year before I found a job as an IT manager for a company in Atlanta. I hated it! Long drive. Worked for a horribly insecure woman who put a new spin on the term micromanager. She was a miniscule manager. That didn't last long, and while I was floundering to find something — anything — my wife asked me one night, "Why not start up your own web company? If you don't get any business, it's not like you are going to be any worse off than you are now." Isn't it amazing to hear how logical that sounds when it comes from someone else? Here I was, coming up with a thousand reasons why it would never work and she pointed out the one obvious one that made all the negativity melt away. So, I gave it a shot and am so glad I did. With the launch of AJS Productions, we have begun to establish ourselves as the go-to website design firm that can provide true custom builds, full social media integration and provide a complete SEO offering for larger businesses looking to increase their search engine results. To me, it's both scary and exhilarating to get up every day and realize I am in charge of everything that happens today.
What do you think is the biggest misconception people have about actors and the theater?
A: There are a couple of subjects that come to mind, but at the top of the list is the amount of work that goes into a show. I think a lot of people feel like acting is just playing and not work — trust me, it takes a lot of effort to make a show or film come to life. But, if you love what you are doing, regardless of the profession, it will never feel like work.
Of course, we have a lot of fun bringing a show to life, but the hours spent working on lines, sets, costumes, lighting, marketing and selling tickets generally takes first-time actors completely off guard. Most rehearsals are in the evenings and weekends and requires a significant amount of personal sacrifice to commit to a production.
A side note regarding this subject, it takes nearly the same amount of work to put on a bad show as it does a good one — the same goes for Hollywood. Think about how many films are made each year that fail to even cover their budget. It takes more than just work to make a play good — it takes talent, focus, energy and the willingness to demand the best. In today's climate, many are afraid to be the Simon Cowell, choosing instead to be the Paula Abdul. You cannot embrace greatness if you are too afraid to demand the best from those around you.
Let's talk about radio. Obviously there is some improv there — is this where the acting and broadcasting worlds mesh? How do the skills required for each translate across occupations?
A: Well, it depends on the role in radio. The news folks are like Joe Friday, "Just the facts, ma'am." They have to stay objective. They write out their news copy and read it as is. But, as a the host of the morning show, I get a little more latitude to fill in the non-news segments with subjects that hopefully entertain our audience. On Saturdays, it's much more laid-back and I have wider range of subjects. I did learn that it's hard, at first, to talk to an empty room. It's difficult to keep in mind that the listeners are there, just not visible. They don't want to hear dead air. They want to feel like what is being said, whether by me, my guests or our news staff, is being said directly to them. It's my job to keep it rolling, keep them listening and keep them coming back for more.
So, in a way, improv in performance is similar to live radio in that there are no scripts in either. There are no "bits" or segments written out ahead of time for the air. You have to stay mentally nimble and be able to react to the ebbs and flow of the conversation. This is just as important in all forms of acting. Being able to actively listen and hear what is being said, both verbally and non-verbally, keeps me in the moment and makes it feel real and immediate — two very important elements in delivering a performance.
What is your favorite part and/or favorite play you have ever directed? Is there a part or play you dream of taking or directing?
A: I really enjoyed playing the role of Benedick in "Much Ado About Nothing," a show I also directed. It was one of the strongest ensemble casts I ever had the pleasure of working with and had the added delight of playing across my wife for the love interest. At times, it didn't even feel real. I had such talented people all around me and everything was firing on all cylinders. I would lose myself in the part and the production and that, to me, is what makes for magic on stage. As to what I would dream playing? The obvious answer is Hamlet, though, honestly, I'm on the outer edge, age-wise, of pulling that off. I would, however, love to play a gunslinger in a Western. I really enjoy films set in the Old West. The Western genre is uniquely American and to be able to recreate a piece of that time on stage or, better yet, on screen, would be awesome and I think I would enjoy bringing that kind of role to life.
When you were young, what was your dream job? Now?
A: If I had been a little more astute when I was younger, I would have realized acting was in my future. I would jump from one favorite career choice to another. I wanted to be an astronaut, policeman, soldier, pilot, captain of a ship, archaeologist, explorer, football star or detective. It jumped from one potential occupational choice to another, based on what movie was playing in the theater. It never occurred to me that the one profession that would give me a shot at being able to play all of those roles was as an actor. And, I will always continue to seek opportunities to be in front of the camera or onstage, but one role that surpasses all others is the one I play in real life — that of a dad. There is no more fulfilling job in the entire world than to be with my girls each and every day. They can drive me nuts one minute, make me laugh the next and then make me want to hug them so tight that I'll never want to let them go. It's going to be very hard when they go off to college. I know it's the circle of life and their time is coming. Until then, I know my wife and I both are trying to maximize the time we have with them before they strike off on their own. In my mind, I'll have plenty of time to audition when the nest is empty, though it'll be a bittersweet tradeoff.
I've heard you are a Shakespeare fan. Is there a line or quote you live by? If so, what and why?
A: My favorite line, and the one I have had on my personal email closing for over 15 years is a line from "Twelfth Night" (a Shakespeare play that was modernized into the soccer film, "She's the Man.") The line is, "Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em." Of course, the irony for those who know the play is the line is meant to stir the pride of an absolute fool, but the message still rings true, nonetheless. The reason this is my favorite line has nothing to do with the word "greatness" either. I love it because of the theme of the last sentence ... "some have greatness thrust upon 'em." Too often I see people presented with an opportunity and either through fear or lack of confidence, they choose to ignore the chance at greatness given to them. We will all fail from time to time — sometimes dramatically so, but the true failure is in choosing not to get back up and try again. The line reminds me that sometimes we have to take the chances afforded to us.
What would people be surprised to learn about you?
A: I am a shy person deep down. I have forced myself to do things and try things while my inner voice is screaming, "Are you crazy?!" But, then I go back to that quote from "Twelfth Night" and I think, seriously, what have I got to lose? So what if someone laughs at me? At least I made them laugh. Too many people today worry about what others will think so they spend an inordinate amount of energy trying to please everyone except for the one person that truly matters — themselves. I'm not saying you should go out of the way to tick people off or be disagreeable. But, don't go to the opposite extreme either. Ultimately, our happiness starts as a personal choice. If you put the power to be happy in other people you will end up being disappointed more often than not. You have to realize, the power to be happy is within you and that's where it should remain. That is a lesson I wish I could have learned much earlier in life.
What makes Bartow County special?
A: It may sound trite, but I love the fact that this community can still feel like a small town and yet provide so many conveniences and opportunities. I thoroughly enjoy the nature trails, scenery and kayaking down the Etowah River. Everyone should rent a canoe or a kayak and go down the river at some point in their lives. They may discover a new passion they never knew existed. My wife and I cannot get enough of the beauty and solitude afforded us in our own backyard.
Favorite meal?
A: Without a doubt, a steak — T-bone or filet, grilled medium, with a baked potato and asparagus drizzled with olive oil and garlic powder. I could eat that almost every night if I had the option. Add in a glass of red wine, preferably a cabernet sauvignon, and there isn't really anything wrong with the world at that point. For dessert? Pecan pie always hits the spot.
In the movie or play about Alan Sanders, who would you want to play you and why?
A: Mark Wahlberg. As to why, I like his everyman persona and how he can still be a leading man without looking like he escaped an advertising campaign for Abercrombie & Fitch. It gives me hope. Also, if the opportunity were ever reversed, I'd jump at the chance to play him in a biopic — though I'd have to hit the gym a lot more often than I currently do.

In other words, liking television is becoming more socially acceptable.

CAS Special Publication: The Coral Triangle - The 2011 Hearst Philippine Biodiversity Expedition
The old saying "You are what you eat" takes on new significance in the most comprehensive analysis to date of early human teeth from Africa.
Our ancestors used to dine almost exclusively on leaves and fruits from trees, shrubs and herbs until 3.5mya when a major shift occurred, according to four new simultaneously published studies.
A series of 4 scientific papers shows evidence of an expanding variety of plant foods, written into the enamel of fossil teeth.
Zeresenay Alemseged and others study diet via powder from fossilized hominid teeth.
New studies show that human ancestors expanded their menu 3.5 million years ago.
Academy Expeditions
Alaska's Juneau Icefield, 2012
In collaboration with the Juneau Icefield Research Program and the U.S. Forest Service, this expedition aimed to inventory the plants and beetles of "Paradise Valley," a lush isolated valley, virtually surrounded by ice and apparently ice free for hundreds if not thousands of years-potentially an ideal spot for the differentiation of new species. The botanists, entomologist, soil biologist, glaciologist, and geologist pursued different lines of evidence to estimate just how long the valley has been ice-free.
Brazil, 2012
On this recent expedition to survey fish and corals in Parcel Manuel Luiz, of the northernmost coral reef in Brazil, Academy scientists collaborated with researchers from Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina under the auspices of the SISBIOTA-MAR project. A key objective was to evaluate the status of the fire coral, Millepora laboreli, a species that was almost completely decimated by bleaching during the 1999 El Niño. This year, Academy researchers were glad to see that many of its colonies had recovered.
Colombia 2012
As part of a National Science Foundation Planetary Biodiversity Inventory (PBI) program, Academy researchers participated in a two-month, multi-team expedition to lowland rainforests, cloud forests, and high elevation environments above the tree line (paramo ecosystems) in search of nearly 500 Colombian species that make up a large branch of the Princess Flower family tree called the tribe Miconieae.
Gulf of Guinea
For the past twelve years, the Academy's herpetology curator Dr. Bob Drewes has conducted six multidisciplinary explorations of the island nations São Tomé and Príncipe. His research in the Gulf of Guinea just off Africa's west coast has documented the highest concentration, by area, of endemic species in the world. For his sixth expedition, Dr. Drewes and his team partnered with the government to distribute biodiversity educational materials to schools, hospitals, hotels, and airports.
Hawaii, 2012
Academy scientists traveled to Oahu and Hawaii's Big Island to document the distribution of mosquito species that have a role in transmitting infectious disease. Two invasive species-Aedes albopictus (Asian tiger mosquito) and Aedes aegypti (yellow fever mosquito)-are vectors of dengue virus. Dr. Shannon Bennett, the Academy's curator of the Department of Microbiology, has discovered ecologic factors that inhibit the spread and efficacy of these species.
Hearst Philippines Biodiversity Expedition, 2011
In the largest expedition in the Academy's recent history, a multidisciplinary team of scientists undertook a 42-day journey to the Philippines archipelago to document the biodiversity of this island nation in collaboration with local colleagues. More than 500 new species were documented by researchers conducting a comprehensive survey of three non-overlapping habitats: shallow-water, deep sea, and terrestrial. Working in collaboration with the Philippines Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, findings by Academy scientists are guiding the nation's environmental policies and the establishment of new marine and coral sanctuaries.
For over two decades, Academy scientist Brian Fisher has led research expeditions to this island nation in the western Indian Ocean near Africa, identifying more than a thousand new species of ants and partnering with 180 taxonomic collaborators around the world. This year, Dr. Fisher focused on documenting the ant population of the Kasijy, one of the last standing pristine forests in Madagascar.
Mount Tamalpais, 2012
Academy scientists, in partnership with the Marin Municipal Water District, led a team of volunteers to the Bay Area's Mt. Tamalpais to conduct a citizen science "bio blitz"—a focused survey of botanical life within a targeted portion of the watershed's 18,000 protected acres. These volunteers, aka "citizen scientists" have established a new baseline of plant and animal distributions in the face of climate change. Their work has added many specimens, photos, and GPS coordinates to records that advance the Academy's research.
Nigeria, 2012
Academy scientists journeyed to the field station of the Nigerian Montane Forest Project to conduct the first in-depth survey of amphibian and reptile fauna on the Mambilla Plateau in eastern Nigeria.
Raja Ampat, Indonesia
Continuing the baseline survey documentation begun with the Hearst Philippines Expedition, Academy scientists Terry Gosliner and John McCosker undertook reconnaissance visits to Raja Ampat, laying the groundwork for a future, multidisciplinary research project. The oceanic area of the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, and Indonesia is known as the "Coral Triangle"-an area with the highest diversity of marine life in the world. The Raja Ampat archipelago, part of the West Papua province of Indonesia, is said to be the richest biodiversity hotspot within the Coral Triangle, and scientific knowledge will be key to its conservation.
South Africa, 2011
As members of the South African National Survey of Arachnida (SANSA), Academy scientists and graduate students searched for spiders across South Africa from Cape Town to the Zimbabwe border. They found new species of assassin spiders, sheet and lace web builders, giant goblin spiders and tree trap-door spiders. These data are being used to map the distribution of biodiversity in South Africa, understand the history of biogeography and climate change in Africa, and to study the evolution of predatory behavior in assassin spiders.
Uganda, 2012
Ten years ago, Academy scientist Dr. Brian Fisher created "Ant Course"—a public workshop for biologists, researchers, and students that teaches ant taxonomy and field research techniques. In 2012, the Ant Course was held for the first time in Africa at the Makerere University Biological Field Station, located in the heart of Kibale Forest, Western Uganda.

Welcome to the Institute for Biodiversity Science and Sustainability at the California Academy of Sciences. Our research aims to discover new knowledge about life's diversity and the process of evolution and to rapidly apply that knowledge to sustain life on the planet.
The Academy was founded in 1853 to discover the diversity of life in California and has expanded to the exploration of biodiversity hotspots around the globe. Renaming the Academy's Research group reflects the urgent need to gain knowledge of the natural world in the face of rapid changes from climate change and other human activity. We impart this information to the general public, conservationists, policy makers, and end users who share our goal of documenting and sustaining Earth's biodiversity.
The Institute for Biodiversity Science and Sustainability at the Academy currently includes about 100 dedicated individuals, including 20 curator scientists, eight collections managers, and a committed group of postdoctoral researchers, students, curatorial assistants, and library and support staff, as well as a network of accomplished research associates working with us around the world.
We work closely with all staff throughout the Academy to increase the public understanding and engagement with science via personal interaction, communication, educational programs and through the development of exhibits.

Mositure Testing Over Concrete Discussion
Mositure Testing Over Concrete Discussion
Not to take away from the intense and fun loving discussions we have here. But good ole Bob posted a pretty interesting thread over at flooringinstaller.com. Maybe he will post it here as well, kinda doubt it though as he has some reservations about the purity of only performing insitu tests it seems. Maybe I read it wrong. But I see he is itching for a debate, better sharpen your swords first. lol
I'll be keeping an eye open for new sign-ups if you have the time to chat this weekend, Ta ta

RE: Mositure Testing Over Concrete Discussion
Funny, he says:
"With few exceptions, moisture, originating from the concrete; in and of itself is NOT responsible for a majority of floor covering failures, unless accompanied by chemicals that can create either a chemical and/or physical disruption of the adhesive, or flooring assembly."
Well we all know that. the majority of floor covering failures are due to chemicals that are brought to the surface with the water. Namely those that increase surface pH. That is why modern high moisture adhesives usually use the 'out' of a neutral / 7 pH.
A floor covering failure due to solely moisture would be limited to the correct definition of Hydrostatic Pressure, which I've never seen. I've seen moisture problems called Hydrostatic Pressure but never correctly. I've never seen a Hydrostatic Pressure failure.
His talk about the NBA problems puzzles me. I specialize in those sort of uses and we all know that the HVAC surge capacity of those facilities is of greatest importance. But no real relevance to floor covering. As with all wood floors, wipe them down if they get wet and you will avoid most moisture headaches.
--- Special note, most NBA floors are extremely expensive portable floors siting on carpet pad. Why portable? Because they are removed and ta-da you have an ice rink. I know this is the case in Boston and in LA in the Celtics / Clippers example. Don't you think that 'ice rink' effect MIGHT have something to do with condensation.
RE: Mositure Testing Over Concrete Discussion
Quote:floor covering failure due to solely moisture would be limited to the correct definition of Hydrostatic Pressure
I don't agree with that. But I dare you to take that up with Bob. heh heh My definition of hydrostatic pressure is actual water pressure forcing water into the slab, no?

true, their recent discussion of ASTM F1869-10 (the 2010 update) really threw me for a loop. Now I really don't get ASTM F1869 testing.

RE: Mositure Testing Over Concrete Discussion
Yea, I thought wood science was kind of hard to grasp at first but concrete science.......is just down right scary. Just as soon as you think you know everything one needs to know, then Bob posts aother indisputable thread. The dude should be published, maybe he is. Talk about throwing a wrench in the mix.

RE: Mositure Testing Over Concrete Discussion
How do I say anything without getting in trouble or a huge debate???
Bob and I don't see eye to eye, we all know that. But the list of people I do agree with is long and impressive. Howard Kanare is on that list, although Howard and I have had some disagreements about installation practices, I will defer to his much better pedigree!
Bob and his dang CaCl tests, they have been scientifically proven to be inaccurate. He will refute that fact until the cows come home, but you know what I think the real problem with Bob is? He never has his money on the line. I have to put my money where my mouth is every time I do a job, every moisture test I take and every job I mitigate. My testing will determine my liability for millions of dollars a year. When I think of it, Howard is the same way, except Howard is using CTL money, so maybe not. My money is on the line for my work. Just like you guys. I'm not sure about Bob, but he doesn't sound like it. He's a consultant, and if the job fails he can point to some voodoo he couldn't have expected. Maybe if Bob had to test a slab then GUARANTEE he could get a floor to stick to it for 20 years, he'd change his tune.
CaCl tests DON'T work for flooring purposes. If Bob wants to debate that, I'll build him an 18" thick lightweight slab and I'll dry that thing to 3 lbs MVER and we'll see how long a rubber floor will stick to the thing. RH testing will tell me the slab is wet, but CaCl, impedance, or any other easily fooled test won't. And he speaks at length about basketball stadiums and condensation. The ASTM's governing flooring installation require conditioned airspace for 48 hours before installation can begin, so condensation is basically a non-issue.
And don't get me going on his jar with wood and all these other analogies he comes up with. He is difficult to understand not because he's brighter than anyone else, because he doesn't make sense! Maybe in his own mind the words make sense, but just reading a paragraph hurts my brain trying to decipher what point he is trying to make. Like reading Shakespeare....
My point is; Bob's favorite testing methods have been proven to give false results. While I agree in using multiple tests to get a more wholesome picture, I rely most heavily on RH testing, and many major manufacturers are also making the shift. This is NOT because it is cool and chic, but because it works and it saves money.

RE: Mositure Testing Over Concrete Discussion
The only reason manufacturers like insitu is because it is faster and faster means more product on the floor. If they truly believed in it they would take full responsibility for anything that should happen causing a failure. And I don't see that happening. Read all the install requirements and warrantys for both the man and the adhesive manufacturers. The only thing they will guarantee is that they will give you more adhesive if there happens to be a failure, then some not even that because they will always find a way to blame it on the installers. What White Paper?
Here is one I read just this morning. I'm certain you will like it.Don't forget to read the looooong list of exclusions.
I like this part; "Any floor leveling or patching must be performed prior to application of the MS Plus Wood Flooring Adhesive, and in strict accordance with the floor leveler manufacturer's instructions"

RE: Mositure Testing Over Concrete Discussion
Now Stephen....
That Taylor warranty is special!!! They will make ONE REPAIR, then the warranty is void. Some warranty!!!! New trowel every 210 square feet. LOL.
I installed two moisture mitigations systems last year on failed Taylor systems. Both complied fully with their warranty. Both were ignored. Both had the GC, the owner, the installer and the architect fighting with Taylor, but Taylor refused to do anything. In the end, if you have to sue the company to get them to honor the warranty, what good can the product be?
Do you work with Nora Rubber? They will warrant their adhesive and flooring 100% if you use the Wagner Rapid RH. I have seen it time and time again. Nora is an industry leader (I just love them) and will NOT walk away from a job if they blessed it up front. By the way, Wagner is the ONLY RH probe Nora will recommend because they have tested the heck out of it and they trust it 100%. If you tell them you read 70% with a Protimeter, they will tell you the reading is invalid and you must use a Wagner before they will stick their neck out on the line.

Oh, now this is going to be funny.
Ardex FF will only warrant the patch to the same MVER that the flooring manufacturer warrants.
So if you install FF, then the Taylor adhesive on a floor reading 8 lbs, chances are the FF will soften and fail. Now the failure will not be warranted. Taylor will point at Ardex, Ardex will point to their warranty. It all makes sense, but installer beware!!!

Granite counter tops
I'm new and I apologize in advance if this is the wrong place to post this question.
We bought a condo built 5 years ago. It has granite counter tops. The little instruction packet the counter top people left said it was supposed to be sealed every year. We don't use the condo that often, so the kitchen does not get heavy use. But I am wondering about how to seal the counter tops. I asked the neighbors, some who live here year round, and they say that the counter tops don't really need to be resealed.
Does anyone know about granite counter top maintenance?
Thank you for your time.
Granite countertops are normally factory sealed. But they make sealer for granite tops at any of the big box stores.
Since you don't use the kitchen that much, you also probably don't use cleaners or commonly spill acidic foods or alcoholic beverages on the surface?
Thus I am guessing you may get by with resealing every 2-3 years, if even that often. Kind of depends on the use and daily cleaning the counters get?
I have had granite counter tops since 2003 that get heavy use and seal them about every 3 years.
maintenance of granite countertops are not that difficult. always make sure that after you use it, you have to clean it,
That's a good question, since in our house we also have granite counter tops. Just a simple tips:
To keep granite countertops clean, use a microfiber cloth to dust off the surface. Wipe down the granite countertop daily and as needed using water. Once a week wipe down with a damp cloth and a stone cleaner formulated with a neutral pH. Never use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. They can scratch, pit, and etch the surface of the stone.
For maintenance: Sealing is a regular maintenance task for granite. Re-seal the countertop when water splashed on the surface no longer beads up. It's important to examine your granite at least once a year.
One of the experts advised me about that, I asked cumar about that since before I don't really have knowledge in kind of thing.
for the maintenance, just use water or cleaning materials that is good for countertops and never use abrasive cleaners. it will destroy you countertops.
I also encountered the same problem with you, as far as I know when I asked for cumar for a help, before you reseal your granite countertops, check with the manufacturer or installer to be sure it is necessary. Most granite counters do need to be re-sealed on an annual basis, but not all of them require this.
Two Types of Sealers
Penetrating sealers: Protecting the structure of natural stone, a penetrating sealer absorbs into the granite for three or four minutes. When almost dry, add a little more sealer to the counter and rub with a soft, dry rag. Apply to a section at a time. Wait two hours and apply a second coat. When shopping for your sealer, look for one that says it is an oil repellent impregnator, which will help stop oil from seeping into the stone.
Topical sealers: These sealers form a film designed to protect the countertop's surface. Usually made from some form of natural wax, acrylic, and other plastic compounds. Topical sealers come in two types: strippable and permanent. Strippable sealers are made to be stripped or removed from the stone countertop with little work. Most often, often permanent sealers are not recommended for granite. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations when deciding what type of sealer is right for your counters.
Granite requires regular maintenance. Besides just cleaning regularly, you'll need to make sure the granite is sealed periodically.
It sounds to me like you would be in the 3-5 year range for sealing the granite counter tops. But definitely a must over time. I have seen mold growing under older granite tops (especially around the kitchen sink areas)that were never properly maintained.
Christopher R. Johnson

Sealing depends on the type of granite that you have. Some require more maintenance than others. If you put some water on the granite does it bead or does it sink into the granite? If it beads that's what it should do, if it sinks into the granite, you already have a problem. Go to a store that sells granite and see what they advise. You want help from a pro not just some employee at a big box store. I have 6 different types of granite in my home--each has different sealing needs.
To keep granite countertops clean, use a microfiber cloth to dust off the surface. Wipe down the granite countertop daily and as needed using water. Once a week wipe down with a damp cloth and a stone cleaner formulated with a neutral pH. Never use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. They can scratch, pit, and etch the surface of the stone. For oily stains, try a poultice made of a cup of flour or baking soda and 5 tablespoons of dish soap. Add water to make it the consistency of sour cream or yogurt. Place the solution directly on the stain and cover with plastic wrap overnight, before washing away the poultice.
No worries, there are lots of sealer and wax available for the maintenance of your granite countertop. You can Seal your Granite or have someone seal it for you.
You've gotten lots of advice already and they all say the same thing I'll say: when the water stops beading up on the counter, it's time to seal with something you can get at Home Depot or Lowe's or your other favorite hardware store. It doesn't take much sealer, so don't buy a gallon of it.
It's just like waxing a car. Pour a little on, wait for it to dry to a film, then buff like crazy to get it off. If it doesn't come off, use a little more sealer to buff it off. Follow the instructions on the bottle, of course, but that's what it's been like for the products I've used.
We use our countertops in our kitchen all the time every day and I seal them every couple of years and plan a dinner out because they have to "cure." For everyday use, I wipe them down with a wet sponge and if there's something disgusting, like chicken drippings, I'll use soapy water and follow up with the wet sponge to wipe away the soap. Easy peasy.
We just had three bathroom granite tops installed and opted for the application of DuPont StoneTech sealer (2coats at the fabrication shop and 1 in home upon instillation). Our granite is quite porous on their grading scale. The warranty for this sealer is for 15 years and can be renewed and passed onto a new homeowner come resale. I will not have to worry about stains or yearly sealing. I was informed that this product is especially encouraged for kitchen stone countertops which are subjected to even more stains than bathrooms. Check it out on the web and ask your fabricator (if new) about it. BTW, if the application was not done at instillation, it can still be applied, but it is an involved process to go thru as pics and IDs of previous stains must be recorded to comply to their warranty.

Hold on to your hats folks, this is not good news…Monday, July 11th, 2011
Over the years, the life expectancy of an adult in the US has increased dramatically. It is almost a law of nature that with advances in medicine, nutrition, and public health (vaccinations, etc.) life expectancy increases over time. A decrease in life expectancy is a sign of something going seriously wrong.
The figure above is from a recently published paper titled, "Falling behind: life expectancy in US counties from 2000 to 2007 in an international context." It shows changes in life expectancy for women from 1987 to 2007. You will note from the figure legend that the red on this map depicts counties in which the change was less than zero. That means that the life expectancy of women in those counties has decreased over the past two decades.
This comes on the heels of a report from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation titled, "F as in fat: How obesity threatens America's future." Here are a few tidbits:
- Colorado is the only state with an obesity rate below 20% (coming in at 19.8%)
- A state at 19.8% obesity would have had the highest rate in 1995
- No state has had a decline in the rate of obesity
- Over the past 15 years, rates of obesity have doubled in seven states and rates of diabetes have doubled in 10 states
We are experiencing a crisis – and we need to make some changes. There will be no single solution, rather we will have to change our behaviors, policies, environments, practices, etc.
What are you going to change today?

HI all!
We have just returned from another fun week in New Hampshire. Alas, a week is far too short...
Monday, 10/21 we hit Tecumseh. It was a quiet hike, I rather enjoyed it. Took a quick break at the viewpoint, and headed onward. We didn't see anyone else on the trail, but met two older fellows at the summit. We were happy to see the Tecumseh Trail sign at the summit, there was no sign at the trailhead (unless it was hiding on us, they tend to do that). #14, done. We mused that we have now hiked the tallest and smallest in the 4000' list. We just have to get all the rest of the ones in between.
Wednesday, 10/23, we hit Osceola and East Osceola. This was a great hike! The trail started rocky, but nothing too bad. We had to pause to let a faster hiker and his adorable dog pass up (was a good thing, we remembered that spot as a landmark). We found our stride and headed onward. I really liked the feel of this trail, had an "old and wise" feel to it.
At the summit of Osceola, saw a few other hikers enjoying this amazing view. One guy and a few dogs with him, and they were extremely well behaved, even when begging for our food. (they would be great to take on long hike, to "yogi" food off others, ha!) I really liked one pup who looked like a goofy Rotti mix.
One mile til East peak! We avoided the "Chimney" and opted to the easier route. Rather thankful for my short height while scrambling down. While the summit had no view, it was very cool to be surrounded the trees. Heading back, I loved the rock scramble going up, it was much easier and a tad less nerve-racking than going down! Great thing about this hike, it had some of everything I like about hiking: great forest to hike through, sideways rocks to make it interesting, and a scramble!
We wanted to finally get Cannon on Friday, but the weather had other ideas. A slight bit of mix precipitation in the morning made us stat around town, figuring the summit would be too icy (we had our microspikes, but last fall it was icy and kept us from summiting,so we erred on the side of caution). Oh well...next time!
And now I sit back home, wearing my new Woodstock Brewery beanie...wondering if it's too soon to plan our next adventure?
(at least the Revolution are in the MLS playoffs, that'll distract me for a bit!)
Pix to follow, as soon as I decide which ones I like best!

More Information about Health Promotional ItemsEstablishing a name for your local health clinic, hospital, out-patient treatment facility or other healthcare industry location is just as imperative as it would be for any business. While what you provide is unique, you can only reach those in need through spreading your brand and increasing awareness of what it is you offer. One of the best ways to do this is using promotional products - small items like personalized pens, promotional T-shirts and other items that travel far and garner attention. Of course, there are a variety of healthcare specific promotional items you can invest in as well.Consider spreading word about your services using promotional bandages and dispensers. Silk screened with your office name, address and a logo, you'll find that something as simple as this can go a long way in spreading word.

many compliments
I received this dress last week and wore it to church yesterday. Within fifteen minutes I received compliments from two men and three women.The dress fits me perfectly. It comes to the middle of my knee...I am 5'2". And I am 80, yet the dress seems to be appropriate for all ages.I wore it with a double-buckle belt in luggage tan instead of the self belt that came with it. It picked up the tan in the print.I would tell friend where to buy one for themselves.
