Silestone vs. Granite Counter-tops - The Real History
So you need to enhance your kitchen or bathroom with a new counter, but you are unsure what your alternatives are. Chances are you've been aware of granite and marble. In the end, they have been used for myriad construction purposes for centuries and you usually see granite and marble countertops in luxury homes.
But how about Silestone...isn't it better than granite?
Well, this will depend on which you think is much better. But, and other producers of engineered quartz rock counters, such general silestone prices Cambria and Zodiaq would have you think their solution is a significant update from granite.
Engineered stone counter-tops are a man-made product that mixes quartz present in granite with a resin to make a surface with properties nearly identical to granite. Silestone and all the others make essentially the same product, which can be widely viewed as a great countertop surface.
But, these firms try to make mountains out of molehills within an attempt to sell their product and vie against granite that will be and has bee the hottest and proven surface type.
Fantasy #1: Sealing granite is a terrible, filthy chore.
This matter has been blown way out of proportion with marketing. It's usually listed as a benefit and you might get the impression that granite is defective and should be sealed with over and over to protect it.
True, there's no necessity to use a granite sealer to an engineered stone counter top. And hi, that is good, but implementing a granite wax is actually a very simple and infrequent 'wipe on, wipe off' procedure. It is not an important job and for all practical purposes it's not a determining factor when you compare Silestone vs. granite.
Also, it generally does not take a closet filled with special chemicals to defend your granite and maintain its luster as Cambria and other manufactured rock counter top producers recommend on their websites. Hey, to their credit they're just trying to successfully market their product.
A minor secret about most granite.. . .
You may do only wipe it with a sponge for years and it would still look gorgeous. Minimal, simple maintenance executed periodically will, nevertheless, give you peace of mind and enhance the best in your natural rock and granite. And the same could be said about quartz. Cleaning and treatment is equally easy for either surface.
Fantasy #2: Again with the closing.
You could also read that you must seal granite to keep it is gleaming gloss. Incorrect. Closing is for stain resistance. Both synthetic and natural rock countertops are polished by buffing and grinding the floor into a clean glow.
Bacteria are harbored by myth #3: Granite.
Silestone also tries to claim their product avoids bacteria while granite 'harbors' bacteria. That is absolutely false. Studies prove that both quartz and granite are among the safest and cleanest surfaces on the industry today, but one isn't superior to the other.
Therefore Which Counter Is Best?
Well, once you eliminate the nonsense and you realize that man-made quartz countertops and granite perform equally well and that the care and cleaning of each surface is essentially the same, the selection between granite and Silestone, Cambria, Zodiaq or other quartz counter-tops usually boils down to color, pattern and perceived value for most buyers.
Color and Value
Granite enjoys a greater 'esteem' due to it's natural appearance and is thus, of greater importance in the minds of all homeowners and buyers. New granites seriously the industry all the time from different countries supplying hundreds and possibly thousands of different colors and patterns to choose from.
The cost of quartz vs granite and other manufactured stone companies offer 20-50 shade choices that have essentially the same repetitive pebbled appearance. The benefit here is the fact that you do not have a problem matching a pattern or color at a seam, which occasionally is a problem with granite. Of course, you might end-up with the exact same countertop as each piece is unique as your neighbor, which will perhaps not happen with granite.
More details is found here.
So, whether you choose engineered stone or granite you'll get an excellent counter-top floor. Just do not listen to all the marketing hype and pick your product-based on which color and pattern you enjoy best.

Property preservation contractors maintain foreclosed properties for banks and property management companies. Contractors may start their own businesses or represent a property asset management organization. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Federal Housing Administration (FHA), and Veteran's Administration (VA) establish the guidelines for contractors. It is the job of property preservation contractors to perform repairs, secure points of entry, clean interiors and maintain exterior landscaping. The banks contract this work out so the property maintains its resale value. Contractors should have property preservation experience, insurance, a vehicle and their own tools. You must register with the banks and asset management companies to get work because they only hire from a list of registered property preservation vendors.
Formal Education and Experience
Formal education beyond a high school diploma is not necessary for property preservation contractors. Even though it's not required, several certification courses and programs in property preservation are available. These courses are helpful if you are unfamiliar with residential maintenance work and do not have experience working in property management. Even if you do have experience, a certification course can help familiarize you with current government guidelines. Many companies prefer to hire contractors who have experience in property maintenance, especially real estate owned property. You'll need experience with changing locks, boarding up windows, maintaining landscaping, removing trash and debris, and other handyman duties.
Government Guidelines
To become a property preservation contractor you will need to build expertise on government guidelines for banks that own FHA-insured homes. The Property Preservation Contractors Network and HUD can provide a comprehensive list of current guidelines, so familiarize yourself with these. The guidelines dictate how much a bank can spend on the preservation of a property. The maximum amount per property varies by state and the number of units in the building. Government regulations also stipulate that lender-owned property must be inspected regularly to deter vandalism and address weather-related damage. The inspector must produce inspection reports, photographs and documentation detailing damages.
Certification Courses
Certification gives contractors a professional advantage over those with just experience in the field. For example, The Agent University is an online provider of a property preservation and field services certification course. The course covers inspections, foreclosures, securing a property, and routine maintenance. Students may supplement the basic course with information detailing the Fannie Mae and HUD guidelines. 1234Reo is another online source for property preservation certification. The course takes 15 hours, and you can sign up for 30 days of online access. The price is $79 as of 2014. The course covers government regulations, the foreclosure process, and how to succeed as a vendor. It is broken down into separate sections with quizzes. Students must score 80% or higher on each quiz to pass.
To succeed as a property preservation contractor you'll need to be able to self-manage. This means you must have the inner drive and focus to work on your own. Maintenance skills are essential. These include the ability to change locks, board up windows, repair damaged walls, repair plumbing and fences, trim lawns and perform inspections. You must also be comfortable taking photos of the property and have strong communication skills to write detailed descriptions of properties and explain issues to banks and other stakeholders.

By Bob Minzesheimer, USA TODAY
NEW YORK Sister Souljah, activist, novelist, former hip-hop performer and cultural lightning rod, has been hailed as a star of "urban lit." She likes the "lit" part — as in literature. But she isn't comfortable with the "urban" label: "I don't want to be limited or ghettoized in any way."
Sixteen years ago, she made headlines when Bill Clinton, in his first presidential campaign, criticized Souljah's racially charged remarks.
These days, she prefers talking about her best-selling novels, The Coldest Winter (1999) and its new prequel, Midnight: A Gangster Love Story (Atria, $26.95).
EXCERPT: Take a peek inside 'Midnight'
Both are raw cautionary tales about drugs and violence in New York. She calls them "literature. Period."
"Shakespeare wrote about love. I write about love. Shakespeare wrote about gang warfare, family feuds and revenge. I write about all the same things."
Her publisher says The Coldest Winter has 1 million copies in print. Midnight made its debut on USA TODAY's Best-Selling Books list last week at No. 31. This week it's No. 54.
Souljah isn't surprised her new book is selling. For nine years, her readers have been asking about Midnight, a handsome, fiercely proud Sudanese immigrant who had a supporting role in her first novel.
"Some girls even wanted his phone number," she says. "I had to tell them, 'He's fictional.' "
Souljah says she spotted Mark Edwards, the young man who's pictured on the front of the book, at a mall in New Jersey. "I said: 'That's the face. That's Midnight. He glows.' " The photos were taken by her husband, Mike Rich.
In the novel, Midnight, who immigrates to New York at 7, comes of age, struggling to uphold his Islamic values amid urban violence. Souljah wrote it to explain "how he was raised and got to be the man he is."
Souljah got to be famous, at least to many white people, thanks to Clinton. And it was Clinton's attack that led to a lengthy interview with Playboy that led to her 1994 memoir, No Disrespect. She moved into fiction as "less restrictive."
But, she says, "I was well known to African Americans before Bill Clinton discovered me. He was like Christopher Columbus riding up on something he didn't understand." But that "has been played out. I'm not interested in discussing it."
She praises President-elect Barack Obama for his "intelligence and endurance."
Does the election of the first black president change her views, once expressed in a song she did with Ice Cube: "If my world's black and yours is white/ How the hell could we think alike"?
"History is history," she says. "What is done is done. That's not going to change. … But it's a measure of improvement that white America selected an African-American leader." Best of all, she says, "is seeing a black person presented in a positive light."
Souljah won't reveal her age. References say she was born in 1964. "Maybe," she says.
She lives in New York City, but she won't say which neighborhood. "That's all I need: a crowd showing up, demanding a sequel." (Yes, one is coming. More on that later.)
She brings her son, Michael Jr., 15, to the interview at her publisher's office, but declares he's "off-limits." It has been reported he's home-schooled, as is Midnight in her novel. "None of your business," she tells a reporter. She has given up performing hip-hop but speaks often at colleges on topics such as "Healing Male-Female Relationships." "The emphasis is on the talk, not the rhyme, but the purpose is the same," she says.
She's writing a sequel to Midnight that she promises "will tie up all the loose ends" from her first two novels. "It's the sequel the world is waiting for."

Joomla Fundraising component tweaks
Budget $250-750 USD
The original project was to build a online charity fundraising Joomla component, which is pretty much finished. The com manages fundraising campaigns, with reporting, permission restriction, etc. This part is finished. There are some changes that need to be made to complete the project, which are minor.
The com can be seen at http://fundraisingconnector.com. This project will require you to take the component from my site, familiarize yourself with it (it's quite simple) complete the following changes, test, and repack. Any additional useful improvements are welcome and will be rewarded with a bonus to the project. Fast turnaround will be rewarded with a bonus.
This project will lead to a new project, which will be an iPhone and Android app with a QR scan. Very simple, the process is already in place within the component. This will be a new project after completion of the current project. Mobile development
The changes that need to be made are as follows:
1) Admin has to approve each coupon that a merchant uploads
2) Change the card template to a subfolder ./cardtemplate and make them a radio selection that you choose when you create a new campaign. Also allow admin to add new templates from which to choose.
3) Coupons need a new value they select from a drop down list. "Bronze" will be continuous discounts, "Silver" and "Gold" and "Gold-Plus" are single use per user. The merchant will also be able to set the number of total coupons that can be redeemed by all users per month. When that number is reached, the coupon should no be visible.
4) There should be a report in email-able form the user that is assigned to the campaign can get at the end of the campaign. Just totals of coupons, cards activated, and new fields when the account is made. There should be a card price, a setup cost, Percentage Paid, and the total number of cards sold. Percentage Paid will be the % the campaign gets of the total sales, and should be set when we start a campaign. Total number of cards sold will be the number of cards generated for the campaign – a number that will have to be input by an admin (the campaign will return unsold cards). The report at the end will show how much money the campaign made by
Card Price * (Cards Generated – Cards Returned) – Setup Cost * (Percentage Paid) = Payout
Feel free to PM me with any questions. This should be an easy and fast project. Thanks for reading.

Ratings for Dr. Vanessa Gourdine
Dr. Gourdine has been my practitioner for over two years. In this time, I have continued to learn how to be in control of my mental health and also how to make improvements to my overall health and wellness. I have been to many mental health practitioners in the past and none have compared. Highly recommended.
I was under the care of Dr. Vanessa Gourdine for one year. When I first met Dr. Gourdine I had attempted to commit suicide. I was extremely depressed. I was unable to work. Every day was unbearable. Dr. Gourdine recognized immediately that the sleep aid that I was taking had caused a chemical imbalance which deepened my depression and led me to consider suicide. With medication and monthly visits I was slowly able to regain control of my life. I returned to work within the month. Slowly my interests and enjoyment came back. I am happy to report that I am no longer depressed, and I no longer need medication. Dr. Gourdine saved my life.
My parents brought me to see Dr. Gourdine as a child when I was suffering from separation anxiety. I was unable to do anything that would separate me from my parents without experiencing extreme anxiety. After seeing her for some time, I was able to do things on my own. I took some time off from seeing Dr. Gourdine and eventually realized I was still experiencing some anxiety, so I decided to contact her again. She continued to work with me through my anxiety as I was growing up and helped me face things I never thought I would be able to face. Throughout my time in college, Dr. Gourdine helped me build up my confidence and helped me see that I had accomplished so much already. I am now attending graduate school where I am studying clinical psychology, an interest that was sparked by my time with Dr. Gourdine. I am now able to get through my day without feeling anxious and it is a great feeling. Without the great impact she had on my life, I would not be where I am today.
Dr.Gourdine is very highly skilled in her approaches and very knowledgeable about all types of interventions. She is kind, caring and has a great sense of humor. She knows a phenomenal amount of information about health issues. I had several forms of treatment in the past that were only somewhat helpful. she was able to treat my depression as well as improve my overall health as I was having many health complaints that got resolved with lifestyle and nutritional recommendations. She prescribed medication for a short period of time that resolved the depression and anxiety. the only drawback is that she is in high demand and when you want to reschedule a missed appointment her availability is very limited. I highly recommend her and can't say enough good things about her. she also gave great direction over some problems I was having with work and career. she is very warm and easy to talk to.

|Average temperature experiment - Cayetano & Vorburger 2013
|18 times
|'temp' lists the average temperatures in degrees Celsius that the replicates in the study were exposed to. 'day' means the day on which the replicates were exposed to processed. The experiment had a block design, with four blocks exposed to the heat treatments on the first day, and three blocks on the second. 'a_line' lists the aphid sublines, desigated as either '407' (an uninfected line), or some other number that designates an endosymbiont isolate with which the aphids in that subline are infected (eg. '402' means that the subline is infected in with endodymbiont 402). 'n_exposed' means the number of juvenile aphids exposed to the wasps (this variable is called 'colony size' in the manuscript). 'ang_p_mumm' is the arcsine square root tranformed proportion of aphids mummified. RES_1 are the residuals resulting from a full factorial general linear model with n_exposed as the covariate, ang_p_mumm' as the response variable and 'temp', 'a_line' and 'p_line' (parasitoid lines) as the fixed factors.

Premium High Ankle Boot - Boots - Ankle - Shoes
These are my basic boot...or to be precise these are the boots I've been trying to replace for about four years. Back about 6 years ago I found boots that were almost identical to these (well the heel was a bit more kitten-ish) on sale in a shop that is no longer in business...I wore them until they leaked. Eventually I gave up on them. I've been trying to replace them ever since. These ankle boots with their slightly rounded toe (all the more comfortable my dear) and their pointy black heel (all the more beautiful my dear) have my salivating because I've found my love again.
Dark and complicated, just how i like em.
this ankle boot / court shoe with strappy detailing is both an impressive platform and high heel as well as an extravagant shoe that is in spirit with the upcoming susan Lacroix and McQueen designs.
Thigh high boots are so hot right now.
These boots would be sooooo hot.
haha, cute!
black and gold will always look great together. this is a great shoe to pair with a christmas party dress.
if you're looking to buy a pair of black pumps this winter, why not go for a trendy black lace one that's not too pricey? these are so sexy!

Your answer is one click away!
I would like to ask some assistance in this matter, I would like to set the fields in the admin
readonly via
get_readonly_fields depending on the model's
my code:
def get_readonly_fields(self, request, obj=None):
if obj.APP_STATUS != 1 :
return self.readonly_fields + ['PRE_FINAL_INTERVIEW_EXAM_SCORE', 'PRE_FINAL_INTERVIEW_EXAM_SCORE_STATUS', 'COMMENT_ON_INITIAL_EVALUATION']
elif obj.APP_STATUS != 4 :
return self.readonly_fields + ['POST_TRAINING_EVALUATION_EXAM_SCORE', 'POST_TRAINING_EVALUATION_EXAM_SCORE_STATUS', 'COMMENT_ON_TRAINING_EVALUATION']
return self.readonly_fields
the problem is that only the first
if is being rendered as read only, what am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
It can't be done the
if branching using
!= because the conditions doesn't exclude each other: let's say
obj.APP_STATUS = 2, this validates both conditions
if obj.APP_STATUS != 1 and
if obj.APP_STATUS != 4 and whichever is first that will be run.

College Board
October 9, 2010 by Post Team
College Board, While the university can give rise to a wealth of knowledge, but can also put parents and children in a financial hole by the high price of tuition.
For example, the average tuition and fees amounting private four-year college and 26,273, according to the College Board website. And while cheaper, even public schools can cost an average of 7020 and for students statewide.
Given the high cost of education, especially in the face of tough economic times, many consumers the option of trying to start putting money in savings accounts early. September was College Savings month, and a number of groups is characterized by encouraging families to be prepared for school expenses.
treasurers of Governors and the state joined the College Savings Plan Network, an advocate of the 529 college savings plans. These programs are offered statewide and give consumers a way to save money for education of the child.
The advantage of this type of plan is that money saved grows without the beat of federal income taxes or state. Moreover, the outputs for education are not subject to federal income taxes.
"529 college savings plans offer a convenient, tax-advantaged planning and saving for college, and all offered by the state for at least a 529 plan, most families can find a plan to help meet their needs and goals, "said Joan Marshall, President and CEO CSPN College Savings Plans of Maryland.
While putting money in this type of savings account can help families in the future, some still may have difficulty paying for college. There are, however, other strategies they can employ to try to reduce costs.
For example, selecting a public school in the state should provide lower tuition and fees. Some students even the option of going to a smaller school for two years and then transfer to a four-year university.
In addition, a variety of scholarships are available for all types of students, many of which are based on need or achievement. There are also federal loans, but they can also lead to debt.
However, people who choose to enter a career in public service can have their debts forgiven in time. The government can base wage payment requirements of a graduate as well.

Two orphans, Tia and Tony, blessed with psychokinetic powers, fall under the evil charge of Lucas Deranian posing as their uncle. He wants to get these kids into the clutches of millionaire Aristotle Bolt, with desires on their powers.
What a peculiar but effective children's adventure movie this is. Peculiar because, at the time, the mid-seventies, Disney was preoccupied with making Herbie movies and letting its animation department go to ruin, and hatching onto Alexander Key's exciting novel showed a rare flash of forward thinking. Magical kids are all the rage these days, and this charming, perilous tale of telepathic sprogs on the run carries a similar haunted strain to the Harry Potters — the search for family.
The main thrust of the plot involves the mystery of these kids' origin. We are told they were somehow shipwrecked with only a "star case" and a picture with two suns at the top to hint at some form of alien status. That and their cerebrally fired abilities: the classic '70s staples of telekinesis, levitation, manipulation of locks; nothing too tricky for the effects department to manage. Then they happen upon a map to the Witch Mountain of the title, and the race is on. Tia Mallone and Ike Eisenmann (whose freckly face became the imprimatur of all child actors of the era) give them a chatty, attractive exuberance, if not much in the way of emotional vulnerability. Still, they could be from another planet, so who are we to judge?
On the badguy side of the equation is moody capitalist Ray Milland ready to exploit their marvellous talents. How deviously American; the film seems to have stumbled upon a subtext about craven parent figures manipulating their children's talents for profit, as if Disney is undermining its entire ethos.
Milland and Donald Pleasance work well as a sinister duo, and the film musters some genuine kids-in-distress terrors to infect the dreams of its impressionable target audience. Mummy, will a nasty fat American millionaire steal me away? Thankfully, friendly but emotionally wounded loner Eddie Albert turns up to aid their escape. Strangely, when you start adding it all up, it really starts to resemble a dry-run for ET.
Dated but watchable children's supernatural adventure.

Jeg var veldig glad for trådløs internet men ønsket at nettverket kunne være kryptert med kode du fikk med hotellet, liker ikke og bruke usikret nettverk med tanke på nettbank osv
beliggenheten, personale og unik atmosfere likte alt
Beautiful room and facilities. Nice balcony on the Annex overlooking a great restaurant. Nice private courtyard accesses rooms in Annex (which is cheaper than main hotel). Very near the walled ancient city center. Rooms are right along a narrow street with traffic noise most of the night.
The location, the staff and the room - all were amazing! Very close to the metro, great food and sights. Would definitely consider staying here again during our next visit! No possibility of early check in. But we could store our luggage with them since we arrived early.
Close to train station and walking distance from Notre Dame.
The location is undeniably excellent. Les Marais is a guaranteed good time My room was very dingy for $100. The only thing that looked clean was the bathroom. The bedroom was shabby, and dark. The hotel staff literally was very uninformed. I asked very simple questions such as, how to get to the airport, and how to get to Versailles and they couldn't tell me. They also failed to let me know about metro construction taking place. They were overall not helpful, and did not interact kindly with me (with the exception of 1 woman.) I wouldn't stay here again
Location great. Close to everything. Rooms very small, no air condition - only table fan. Clean, comfortable beds. Very friendly staff. Did no try breakfast, it's only continental at 9.0 euro. Great place across the street for breakfast. Value for the money - very good but you give up some convenience. No place for second suitcase - had to push out chair. Wi-fi works most time. F not - attendant fixed a couple of times.
Breakfast and location Room a bit dark because of window looking out towards small atrium
Great location, clean and comfortable, very cosy and intimate. The River Seine is 100 metres away, major sites are within walking distance and there are lots of good restaurants close by. The RER to Chatelet les Halles is convenient from Paris CDG and direct. The lift is quite small.
Lokation The room was poor ...for this prise
There was a cute little balcony in my room which was nice to be able to see out onto the busy street below. I enjoyed the location very much, very convenient! Lots of shops, etc. in a bustling neighborhood. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I was really disappointed by this hotel. The major issue was the cleanliness - it was pretty dirty, the carpet was very stained - I felt grossed out by the room. This is in part because it's an old building, etc - however, even so, it should have been cleaner. You could tell only the basic areas were cleaned by the housekeeping staff. The sheets were clean, the bedspread could use replacing. The room was cute, sufficient to suit the needs of a traveler who is not picky & doesn't care about cleanliness.
The breakfast was excellent and value for money and it was quite central for the places we had to visit. the room furniture was too big for the size of the room and the bathroom looked a bit shabby for a 3 star hotel.
the staff was very kind. Alwais helping wtih any request.
The reception staff were excellent with information to tourist places of interest incl. Disneyland & Cruise tickets & return airport shuttle to CDG airport.
The hotel was very central and very clean, the staff were very helpful. We also stayed elsewhere in Paris and the Hotel Rivoli was by far better value for money.
Hotel was well situated for metro and Le Marais area where lots of restaurants and shops which are open on Sundays; good location to stay in Paris for a weekend city break Situated on a busy road so can hear traffic
staff, rooms, location
If you need hot water for coffee, ask the reseption.
The location is good for exploring the Marais. Also easy access to other locations and near a metro station and bus stops. The room was very small and quite stuffy. Also blind in bathroom was inadequate - it only reached halfway down the window!
Fantastic location, lovely ambience, friendly staff and great value for money.
Excellent location, nice staff and quirky, but charming rooms. (plus a big bathroom) I would definitely stay there again. The trip was for business.
Staff at desk, and staff in general, were extremely helpful and pleasant. They had good suggestions, made restaurant reservations, called for cabs, and in general made our stay extremely pleasant. Patrick went out of his way to help us in a particularly stressful time we had at one point. Thank you, Patrick. There was absolutely nothing we did not like about the hotel. We had only one hiccup and that was we thought breakfast would be available and it was not; but after inquiring, it was brought to our room.
The location is good There was a damp smell in my room (room 28). The internet did not work with the code I was given.
location, cleanliness, courtesy poor lighting in room; minor details of breakfast service: lack of skim milk, fresh fruit only on one day of our stay
Location and convenience to all of Paris. It was a simple hotel that met my needs and the staff was very helpful.
I liked the hotel for its old world charm and its central yet quiet location in Le Marais district of Paris with good communicatons on foot and by nearby public transport incl. Metro. The old building has been crammed with most of the modern conveniences and facilities of the present day hotel. The staff is multilingual and always helpful, friendly and there is a personal touch in their approach. The cleaning is done in a discreet yet efficient manner. Not really, but because of the small size of the building for its current purpose there is a certain shortage space. At the same time this could be experienced as part of its charm.
Perfect location in the heart of the Marais, lovely and cozy hotel, very helpful staff.
It was quaint and charming, yet had a first class bathrooms. Loved the whole old world feel of the place. Great Location. Rooms do not have air conditioning, but it was very cool while we were there and fans were provided for the rooms.
The location was perfect to explore the Marais - history, culture and architecture alongside great bars, cafes and boutiques. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and the room was genuinely charming. It certainly lived up to the recommendations from friends who've used it for years.
