If you offer plumbing services in the UK, the chances are that you have considered Google Advertising for your business. However, it can be difficult when starting out to understand how much you should be spending on your Google Adwords budgets.
Working Out AdWords Budget For a Plumbing Company
Firstly, it's important that you think about what a lead conversion is worth to you. As a plumber, you may offer a range of services such as emergency call outs, boiler installation or other ad hoc services.
Think about how much each of those type of job are worth to your company. For example, say your call out charge is £100 and you include the first hour within this in which you tend to fix the issue, you can gather that a conversion is usually worth £100 to you on average.
Therefore you need to think about how much you are happy to spend to earn a £100 lead. This will very much depend on your company type. If you are a sole trader, this may not be the best use of your budget, so you may instead want to focus on advertising larger plumbing jobs first instead of using Google AdWords to promote your emergency service. On the other hand, if you have a fleet of plumbers, this may be one of the best ways to get more business to your plumbing company.
So, you have thought about how much you are willing to spend, it's now time to consider what 'keywords' are going to be suitable for your plumbing business. Let's say that you have decided for now to focus on emergency plumbing, and you are based in London.
Ideally, it would be good to know what your typical conversion rates are. Conversion rates will be based on things like, how many visitors to your website actually convert to an enquiry, and then how many enquiries convert to a job. Looking at your Google Analytics will help you to understand this.
For example say for every 100 visitors to your website page, you get 5 enquies, your conversion rate would be 5%. At this stage is it worth considering if your web pages are suitable for your advertising campaign, and what you can do to optimise your landing pages (the page to which your advert will link).
You should also consider then how many of these enquiries convert to an actual job. For the sake of our maths - let's say 50% of enquiries result in a a job.
Finding Keywords for a Plumbing Business
Ok, so for this example, we are going to assume that you are looking to advertise your emergency plumbing business in London. Taking a quick look at Adwords planner, we can see that the keyword emergency plumber in London has a suggested bid of a whopping £17.81. (Note that it's worth asking an AdWords expert to help you to source the best keywords for your budget).
Therefore based on our calculations, this is how much one lead would cost you.
1 click = £17.81
For every enquiry you will need 20 clicks - so that would cost £356.20
For each of these you would get 1 job - meaning that one lead would have a total cost of £712. 40!
A bit too much for a one job call out of £100 right?
Increasing conversion rate on AdWords Campaigns for Plumbers
You're probably reading the above and wondering why on earth anyone would want to use AdWords to advertise a plumbing service.
Firstly, Google uses a range of factors when looking at how much you will pay for each click, and how often your advert will be shown.
You also need to ensure that your website or landing page is really optimised to convert. Our estimate of a 5% conversion rate can be hugely improved if the landing page layout and your service is in tip top condition. If we increased our conversion rate to 25% the same lead would cost you just £89.05. Combine that with reducing your cost per click, and the bid is looking a little more attractive.
Choosing Appropriate Keywords For Plumbers
It's also worth bearing in mind that I have chosen a very expensive keyword choice. Going back to our keyword list, we may want to consider bidding instead on local areas which you cover, or slightly different keywords such as 24 hour plumber in (local area) or adding words such as reliable or 1 hour. In reality, your Google Adwords campaign should be made up of a mixture of high volume search keywords, and others that, while more niche should be tailored to what you provide.
The key to working out how much you should spend on your Google PPC campaigns is to do your research first. Many ads fall at the first hurdle as you are not sending the clicks to an appropriate page on your website, or because your ad groups are not tailored to the services which your provide.
Google Adverting, when done correctly can be an excellent value for money platform for getting leads to your business, however if it's done badly it can be a very expensive waste of your marketing budget. If you're not sure how to use AdWords, it is probably worth calling in the services of a small business AdWords expert to help you to at least get your campaigns set up.
At The Small Biz Expert, we offer expert marketing consultancy for trades, and can help you to both set up and manage your Google Campaigns, so get in touch with us for a no obligation chat about how our services can help you. As a Google search partner, we are experts in getting traffic for trades.

ISL 2018-19: ATK's Steve Coppell - No home advantage for Indian clubs
ATK head coach Steve Coppell feels that Indian Super League (ISL) don't have an advantage when playing at their home grounds due to the way the stadiums are built.
The Kolkata-based team has lost one away match so far and are gearing up for a clash against Pune City away from home in the ISL on Sunday. Coppell's men have 20 points from 14 games and sit sixth on the table, three points behind Jamshedpur who have played a game more.
"I don't feel we will be more comfortable on our travels but the results suggest that we have been. At home sometimes, there is an added pressure on teams. It is different from Europe and the rest of the world where you have a home match and it is a distinct advantage because of the crowd and the environment whereas, in India, the stadiums are so laid back that it is difficult for the crowd to have a real impact," Steve Coppell said.
"The first purpose to build a football stadium in India will be a great eye-opener for a lot of supporters because it creates such a great atmosphere. Here, you can have a terrific crowd of 20,30,40 thousand so far away from the pitch, it is hard to get home advantage. From a playing point of view, a lot of teams are comfortable playing away from home because the emphasis is rightly so on the home team to make the play," he added.
Sunday's hosts Pune City have had a poor season but with new coach Phil Brown at the helm and the fact that the Stallions have won three matches in a row, Coppell expects a difficult test.
"I think when we played them earlier in the season, they were going through a short period of instability whereas now, the stability is being returned. Now they have a new coach with new directions and a different style of play. Inevitably, the players will want to impress their new coach, as they did against Chennaiyin. Definitely a difficult fixture."
The Englishman suggested that he is open to breaking up the successful centre-back pairing of John Johnson and Andre Bikey so as to add more foreign attackers up front.
"I think at this stage of the season, you have to have two or three plans. Bikey and Johnson have been a formidable partnership in terms of goals against and the number of clean sheets but at this stage of the season, the emphasis is three points and maybe not one point. So you have to weigh up whether it is worth taking a gamble to get more attack-minded players on the field. That is something I shall sleep on tonight."
With four games left, ATK are four points adrift of the final playoff spot.
"The mood has been one of anticipation, we look forward to every game. We have been (close) to the top four, we have to make that gap as small as possible. We go into the final three matches and we are still in contact, literally, anything can happen."

Author: Dr Nigel Stapledon, Chief Advisor. There is an argument out there, which defies the laws of gravity but keeps getting printed in our media, that somehow supply does not matter when it comes to housing.
The report by ex-RBA Governor Glenn Stevens to the State Government earlier this year, provides a very succinct argument on why supply does matter.
Stevens' report looked at both demand and supply factors, but with reference to Sydney the focus was on supply as the primary fault line. Particularly, not just on a simplistic numbers paradigm (did numbers built equate with growth in households this year or last year?) but on factors which make the market less competitive than would be desirable. It is that lack of competitiveness which means that it struggles to respond adequately to shifts in demand.
The Stevens report acknowledges that some things on the supply side are not amenable to change, namely Sydney's natural geographic constraints.
Download ex-RBA Governor Glenn Stevens report here.
Other things are amenable to change but slowly. Chief among them is a 20-30 year backlog in investment in transport infrastructure, which is "a critical weakness" in terms of both supply and in explaining the anti-growth views of Sydneysiders. The current State Government has made a good start in fixing the backlog but it will require sustained commitment (and courage) by State Governments for a good period of time.
The primary focus of the Stevens report is on the things "that ought to be more amenable to change more quickly." He goes on to discuss how regulation, zoning and approval processes make the supply side far less flexible than it could be. Stevens observes that the length of time required for rezoning and development approval is "much too long", tying up capital which ultimately feeds into the cost of land. Related to that, the complexity of the planning process means that it requires large developers with large resources to navigate that complexity, while small developers would struggle – hardly conducive to a competitive market.
Stevens understands that, if changes are going to be made to the planning process to facilitate growth, the really hard challenge is to sell to the majority of voters the reality that Sydney's population is going to grow, and that we need to accommodate (not perpetually resist) that growth: "It appears that the history of reform in this area is not a happy one. Perhaps the main thing that has changed is the greater sense of urgency, after years of rising prices. While it is a political judgement for the government on how aggressive they wish to be in seeking reform, inaction is costly and becoming more so (after more years of rising prices), while it is far from clear that the politics of reform will get easier."
If I can add to Stevens' point on reform, it is that above all other areas of policy bar perhaps electricity generation, this is a policy area where bi-partisan support is almost certainly required for meaningful, sustained reform to actually happen.
For all players in the complex housing system that Australia (and Sydney) has managed to conjure up, the Stevens report should be mandatory reading. It is difficult to find, so here is the link.

When it's clear skies and I know the sunset will be amazing, I try to take one photo of it, and enjoy the rest of it myself. It's the most beautiful thing I get to witness in my days.
a collective blog by indigenous women photographers
But slowly, slowly, I felt like I couldn't breathe. I couldn't feel the joy. I couldn't feel the passion. I felt… grey. Nothing. Absent. I went through the motions and denied that anything was wrong. Or I would sigh and shake my head, because even if something was wrong, there was nothing anyone could do to "fix it."

Fastest Time and the one to beat – 53.44 seconds! An amazing effort from Andrew Feather.
The 2 fastest women were Anna Karenina and Aimee Parsons in the joint first place time of 1.15.53!
The Children all did an amazing job in the Mini Hill Climb with winning boy being Alexander Barrington-Crow in 18.34 seconds and the fastest girl Maia Howard in 22.16 seconds
We also had a number of brilliant and quirky performances, a few being Joel and Hattie Bragg completing the climb on a bike and tag along combo! Plankenstein, the hand-built wooden bike ridden by Adrian Field. A heroic ride from Kevin Pfister, on tiny wheels, riding up the hill in 1 minute 25 seconds on his Brompton.
Our youngest Hillclimber of the day was Hunter Forrester, aged 5, and our oldest hill climber was Mark Lomax, aged 72!

Paul Green grew up in London and studied at Oxford and the University of British Columbia. Magickal techniques are central to his writing practice, which is ultimately an exploratory process. Thus his pursuit of the arcana of magic and the enigmas of esoterica is exemplified not only in Babalon and Other Plays but in poetry, as in his collection The Gestaltbunker (Shearsman 2012) and in such novels as The Qliphoth (Libros Libertad 2007) and Beneath the Pleasure Zones (Mandrake of Oxford 2014).
He has made radio documentaries on aspects of the occult and paranormal featuring Colin Wilson, Francis X. King, and Iain Sinclair, among others; while the plays have been broadcast on BBC Radio 3, CBC Canada, RTE Ireland and Resonance FM and have been staged by Travesty Theatre and New Theatre Works. He has performed or presented at many venues, most recently at the Final Academy, Magickal Arte Bristol, the Moot with No Name, the Electric Palace Hastings and St Augustine's Tower in Hackney. He has especially enjoyed collaborations whether with musicians like the late Vincent Crane or with the artist Jeremy Welsh, creating video poems like The Slow Learning and Radial City. He now lives in Hastings.

[Copied from it's original home at http://lyra23.tripod.com/news/ds9-finale.html]
I meant to write an entry last night, but I sort of didn't have time. "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" airs on Thursday nights at midnight here in Gainesville, and since last night was the series finale I had to watch. Too bad it was a two-hour episode and I didn't get to sleep until sometime after 2 AM. That was brutal on my sleep cycle (which has already suffered enough). Anyway, I am not too happy with how the series turned out. If you haven't seen the episode yet and you want to be surprised, skip this little list.
1) Where did Captain Sisko go? Yes, I know he said he was with the Prophets, but he also left his newly pregnant wife and teenage son to fend for themselves. Way to go, Ben. I thought that was a pretty dumb way to end the show for him. If the writers can think of a way to use that situation in the future I will be thrilled, but somehow I don't see that being resolved in any way.
2) Where did Worf go? This I can understand. Worf needs to get back to the sphere of Star Trek movies somehow, and this move to the Klingon Homeworld will get him there. This poor guy has been tossed around by the writers from the Enterprise to DS9, back to the Enterprise, back to DS9, and now to Kronos. Worf is a great character and I will be glad if he is in the new movies, and creative storylines seem to be the way to make sure he is there. We have seen Worf fall in love twice, become a father to his son, Alexander, lose many people who were important to him, and kill lots of high-ranking Klingons. I'd say that entitles us to become attached to the character.
3) Where did O'Brien go? Back to Earth. Why? That is a question I can't seem to understand. I don't know if there is a plot reason that Miles went back to Earth to teach at the Academy, but I hope so. He is also a good character that has lasted through two Star Trek series. O'Brien, as well as Worf, has character depth that most roles on television lack. Through the years of watching O'Brien and his family was have seen his marriage to Keiko, the birth of his daughter, Molly, his friendships with Geordi LaForge and Julian Bashir, and his personality changes that make him so interesting.
4) Where did Odo go? To tell you the truth, I was never too fond of Odo because the role wasn't too interesting to me, but I must say that Rene Auberjonois is a great actor. I admire what he has done with the character. I certainly never expected him to fall in love with Kira! Why they sent him away I don't know. Yes, his people needed him, but so did the woman he loved. Perhaps the writers had a reason for this move also. Only time will tell.
5) Julian and Ezri? Kassidy and her new baby? Jake? Quark and Nog? Kira? These are the people who are left on DS9. Let me first say that I HATE the idea of Julian and Ezri! I would love to tell the new Dax host where to stick it. I was extremely upset when Jadzia died because she was my favorite character. Jadzia where have you gone and why didn't you leave a suitable replacement? The twist of sending the new host, Ezri (*shudder*), to the station was a good one but not well executed. Kassidy is stuck with this baby and no father to help her out. Jake is stuck with his father's pregnant wife and no way to know how to take care of her. Quark is stuck with a profitable bar and very few friends to act as patrons. Nog is now a lieutenant in Starfleet with an absent but recently wealthy father, Rom. Poor Kira is left in charge of the station without the love of her life. (The second one, since Vedek Bariel died early on in the series. Anyone remember that?) I guess you can say I am happy every thing turned out OK, even though not everyone turned out happy. Actually, I can't think of anyone who ended up happy! Wow that changes my opinion completely. What a bad show!
With all of the plot twists that occurred in last night's show I don't know what is going to happen in the future for these crew members. Any movies on the horizon for them? I doubt it, at least not as a full cast. Too bad, because I really loved the DS9 cast when they were together. I just read in TV Guide that the new Trek series may be an Academy-based storyline. Maybe that's why O'Brien went back to Earth. Like I said, only time will tell. For now it is over and I can go to bed earlier on Thursday nights.

The Carondelet Cross Country team made the 391-mile trip down to Walnut, Calif., to compete at the Mt. SAC Invitational on Friday, October 20. It was the 70th year the meet has occurred and is one of the most nationally renowned meets of the year.
Over 150 teams competed in the 2017 invitational, with a total of 60 races over the course of two days. Carondelet invited its top-16 athletes and had individuals compete in four different races. All races were at the Division 3 level, determined by the size of our school.
Our varsity team closed out the day with an exciting WIN in the Division 3 race. Their total team time was 98:59 (with an average time of 19:45) placed them as the eighth fastest Northern California team (all divisions combined).
The varsity runners were led by a sixth place finish by Clare Schumann '18, as she crossed the finish line of the 2.93-mile race in a time of 18:57. This was Clare's first time breaking 19 minutes, and it led to a 1 minute, 30 second personal record (PR) for the senior.
Clare was followed by Sofia Green '19, who was 10th overall, with a time of 19:17, clocking over a three-minute PR. Kelsey Dempsey '18 was the third Cougar to cross the finish line, placing 20th with a time of 19:51, and a 40 second PR. The top 7 were closed out by Taryn Cunningham '19, 28th overall (20:18), Liza Richards '18, 40th overall (20:36 - 50 second PR), Dana Cross '19, 46th (20:42 - 1:45 PR) and Kasey DeMaria 51st (20:56 - 1:55 PR) overall.
Our junior varsity program started the day off in the second race of the day. Lauren Cadementari '18 led the team with a ninth place finish and a time of 22:00. Annie Rains '18 was close behind, finishing the race in 22:46, placing 15th overall. Emily Howie '19 and Madi Arndt '18 closed out the group with a 21st (22:58) and 25th (23:14) place finishes.
Our freshman team competed in the fourth race of the day and showed very exciting potential for the future! Represented by Sophia Piper '21, Kate Concepcion '21, and Trinity Ellis '21, the trio finished in a respectable sixth (21:48), ninth (21:54) and 20th (23:07) place.
Our sophomores, Jillian Trilevsky '20 and Ariel Ragona '20, competed in the sixth race of the day. Jillian completed the 3-mile course in a time of 23:27, placing 30th overall, and was followed by Ariel who finished in 24:18 and 44th overall.
This week the Carondelet cross country team will host the annual Beat-A-Boy race on Wednesday, which will also serve as Senior Day for the team. Carondelet will honor seniors Giuliana Alioto, Madison Arndt, Lauren Cademartori, Kasey DeMaria, Kelsey Dempsey, Allison Munden, Annie Raines, Mateya Rettig, Liza Richards, Clare Schumann and Kathleen Stein before the start of the race, which is scheduled for 3:45 pm at Heather Farms.

Danbury residents hold protest in front of City Hall
DANBURY -- Residents upset that Mayor Mark Boughton wouldn't participate in a League of Women Voters debate held a protest Monday in front of City Hall.
About a dozen residents stretched out around City Hall and the intersection of Deer Hill Avenue and West Street with placards that read "No Democracy Without Debate" and "You have an obligation to the voters of Danbury."
Ellen Dubois, who organized the event, said Boughton is the only incumbent in the state to reject a league debate in the last 15 years, a claim league officials couldn't verify.
The league had offered to sponsor a debate this week between Boughton, a Republican, and his Democratic opponent, Gary Goncalves.
"Saying no to the debate is as un-American as saying no to the American flag or apple pie," said Dubois, who also serves as a volunteer for Goncalves' campaign. "It's tantamount to keeping voters in the dark."
Mary Collins, of Danbury, who also attended the protest, said city residents deserve to have the mayoral candidate debate the issues in an open and public forum.
"Why was a paid event the only venue?" she asked, referencing a Greater Danbury Chamber of Commerce forum held last week that cost $45 per person to attend. "To me, that's not fair. A lot of the voters can't afford that right now given the state of the economy."
Rachel DeSousa, 18, a first-time voter in the city, said she hopes Boughton hears their concerns and agrees to a public debate before the Nov. 3 election.
"That's why I'm standing on the corner out in the cold," she said. "This is my first election and I want it to be a good one."
Boughton said the debate date originally offered by the league didn't fit into his schedule -- because he didn't receive the invitation until late September -- but he offered to have another debate recorded by Comcast and played on the city's government-access channel. It was an offer he said the league rejected.
"We offered a pretty good alternative, given that the invitation came so late," Boughton said, adding that the protest Monday was nothing more than a "political stunt."
Goncalves said Dubois does work on his campaign, but he had no knowledge of the protest before it occurred.
"Good for the people who did this," he said. "It's unconscionable that an incumbent won't debate in an open and public forum."
Carol Elder, president of the local league, said the group did receive Boughton's offer to have a televised event, but it would have to be organized by the cable company and not the league.
"He wanted to have it during the day, and all our volunteers are busy during the day," she said. "If he wants some help we can provide that, but we can't start from scratch."

Radiant Barrier Insulation Blog - InsulationStop.com
Steel & Metal Buildings: Airpace Requirements for Reflective Insulation
Reflective insulation requires an existing airspace on one side of the insulation in order to work properly as a radiant barrier. This airspace may be small but it is essential. Foil insulation used without an airspace, as in under concrete insulation for example cease being a radiant barrier. You still get some insulation value but it's in the form of a thermal break, not a radiant barrier.
Tempshield double bubble reflective both or reflective one side products have been tested in various metal building applications and achieved various r-values depending on the installation.
Please take a look at our metal building insulation airspace page where you can find the required airspace, application, and r-value for all of your barn insulation needs.
Reflective Insulation: A Versatile Technology
Foil insulation, bubble foil insulation, and reflective foil all work the same way. By being reflective, they block radiant heat using radiant barrier technology. Conventional insulation does not work the same way.
Remember, there are only three modes of heat transfer; conductive, convective, and radiant. When you want to keep things hot or cold, there are two base classifications of products. The first group slows conductive and convective heat. Products in this class are fiberglass, mineral wool, and foam insulation.
Products that insulate for these two modes of heat transfers are noticeably thicker, because more product is better. Years of material advancements continue to change these products. For example to stop air movement, houses built around the turn of the century (1900) often incorporated paper and other materials in the walls to stop air movement. Today, it appears that spray foam insulation will be dominant heading into the future. These are advancements in material design.
The other group of products is comprised of various types of reflective insulation. This insulation uses radiant barrier technology to block radiant heat. All products on the market today should block 95% to 97% of radiant heat energy. Because reflecting radiant heat is a technology, thicker is not better. Foil insulation typically used in house wraps and attics has only a thickness of about two sheets of paper. Bubble foil which is primarily used in the other areas such as for wall insulation, crawlspace insulation, metal buildings, and barn insulation can be anywhere from 3/16" to 5/16" thick or more if used for duct wrap insulation.
This radiant heat blocking insulation is used heavily in other industries such as food packaging, aerospace, and automotive. As new and better substrates are introduced to the market the product itself may change but the technology will not. The use of reflective insulation has continued to grow in the building materials sector and will continue as other industries realize how to use this versatile technology.
InsulationStop Newsletter: Featured Insulation and Insulation Tips
We've toyed with the idea of a newsletter for some time now and have finally decided to take the plunge. But what to include? We've decided our newsletter is going to focus on an energy saving insulation concept or specific insulation product. Because our day to day focus is on radiant barriers and reflective foil insulation the newsletter's insulation concept or specific insulation will be in the other areas of insulation use, stopping conductive and convective. We expect to publish bi-montly with posts to deliver Saturday mornings. We look forward to bringing you some great all around information that you will be able to put to use to lower your energy costs. Click the Link or Picture to JOIN INSULATIONSTOP NEWSLETTER.
Energy Saving Tips: Duct Sealing and Insulation
There are many different ways a home can be upgraded to increase efficiency and decrease your utility bills. Although we talk mainly about our foil insulation and the many applications where it can be installed, it is refreshing to talk about other areas in a home where problems can be fixed or improvements can be made.
Sealing air ducts is a project you may not have given much thought to, but it can be a serious problem and cost you a lot of money. At the very least, you should have full confidence that your heating and cooling system is performing correctly and efficiently.
Forced air heating and cooling systems are prevalent in homes built after the 1950's. Over 95% of new homes built today utilize forced air systems. The main delivery of this forced hot or cold air comes via ducts that are used to distribute the conditioned air throughout your home. Energy Star® estimates 20% of air that moves through duct systems is lost due to leaks or poorly sealed connections. This results in an increased load on your furnace or air conditioning unit and higher utility bills.
Some areas of your ductwork cannot be accessed but most of it can. You can inspect and repair exposed ducts in attics, basements, crawlspaces, and garages by sealing leaks with duct mastic or duct sealant. Any areas of the duct run that get hot in the summer and cold in the winter can be insulated as well. Insulating these areas is another energy saving project that is inexpensive and will help your home operate at its optimal level.
We have included a link to Energy Star® Air Seal and Insulate Brochure for your review. We hope you enjoyed this post and look forward to bringing you more energy saving tips.
Air Sealing and Insulating Your Home
As a homeowner, it is important you understand the basic points about sealing and insulating the shell or building envelope of your home. This weatherization strategy is always important and in some homes, can be as important as insulation itself.
Tests have shown over and over that insulation works best and the performance is most optimal when there has been none to start with. Adding more material to an already insulated space produces less dramatic results. In outer walls, ceiling, windows, doors, and floors air sealing is often the most cost effective way to improve every efficiency and comfort. Check out this link to see the DIY Air Seal Brochure by Energy Star®. This guide also includes information about adding more attic ventilation.
Maximizing the return on your weatherization investments means you should have a good understanding of your specific building and what can be done to improve its energy efficiency. Every building is different. This brochure is a good starting point to understanding how air sealing works with insulation and ventilation to complete your home's weatherization package.
19 Other Applications for Bubble Pack and Bubble Foil Insulation
Can you think of five instances where bubble pack or bubble foil insulation is used? If you do most will probably come from the packaging industry. Bubble mailers and box inserts are two examples.
But this is only one application. There are eighteen more industries where bubble pack and bubble foil insulation are successfully used. See if you guessed any on the list. Some of the answers may surprise you.
2. Automotive 3. Transportation 4. Electrical Boxes 5. Medical and Pharmaceutical 6. Food and Beverage 7. Sporting Goods 8. Marine 9. Spas and Saunas 10. Wineries 11. Recreation Vehicles 12. Appliances 13. Agricultural 14. Aviation 15. Aerospace 16. Packaging 17. Electrical Enclosures 18. Plumbing and HVAC 19. Curtains
The twentieth industry that bubble foil insulation is proven in is the building materials sector which comprises of both residential and commercial construction. Give us a call today regarding any applications you would like to use our insulation in.

Craigslist Radiant Barrier
When searching for reflective insulation on craigslist you can find information for installations or even applications for companies seeking installers. But what if you wanted to purchase insulation? There is not a lot of information out there and we are not confident you should purchase your radiant barrier from craigslist.
We only sell new items unless otherwise disclosed. Our prices are at an industry low. All of our products have been produced by North American manufacturer's who follow the strictest production guidelines. Unfortunately there are products now on the market that are inferior and produced in countries without sufficient testing procedures. Most often when purchasing building materials it is better to go with the industry standard or trusted source so you can be sure the quality of material you are using.
Barn Insulation and Fuel Sources
One of the most enjoyable things about our job is we offer products to consumers that save them money. Insulation. Everyone needs insulation to some capacity. I bet the people who make and sell great winter coats like the fact they offer a good product at a good price.
This post is about a conversation we had with a potential customer who is looking to insulate his on slab pole barn and wanted to create a finished insulation system. He already has single bubble reflective one side in the rafters but that is the extent of his barn insulation. He is interested in insulating the side walls and running a second layer of material across the bottom of the trusses effectively creating a ceiling 12' high.
What is interesting in talking to the customer and about his specific building is that he wants to be able to keep the building at mid 40° F hopefully 50° F when the outside temperature is -10° F during a Montana winter. If this was a residential house without any other insulation with a residential heating system in Montana, this would be financial suicide. You would be essentially paying your local utility company extra money because you are way under insulated for your climate and preferred heating temperature.
But, if this is your shop and you have a good heating system installed and access to resources like firewood in this case, reflective insulation is an easy low cost alternative to spending a lot of money on insulation. You only need to pay a lot for insulation when you have to pay a lot to heat or cool your building.
In this customer's case, insulating the sidewalls will finish his insulation system. Basically, sealing the building is the first, best step to heat retention. Lowering the insulating space by running insulation across the bottom of the trusses and creating a ceiling as the customer suggested will also be helpful. The nice thing is the customer can insulate the sidewalls first and add the second layer overhead at a later date if they feel it is required.
It is always important to understand your goals and costs when evaluating how you should insulate your buildings. Looking closely at your usage, heating costs, insulation costs, and lifespan you will own the building will give you a good idea of how much you should pay for insulation. Looking at a particular project in detail is always helpful in demonstrating how effective and cost effective using our or any insulation will be.

Guest post by Dr Kickass, Mike Piekarski, a Doctor of Physical Therapy, Former MMA Fighter, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu brown belt. Follow him on instagram.
The most common complaint I hear on the mat is people complaining about shoulder stiffness. Especially if you are a late tapper to kimuras. Most often when someone has stiff shoulders from jiu jitsu it's because they lack the STABILITY not mobility.
Shoulder stability comes from the rotator cuff muscles. The job of these muscles is to stabilize the humeral head in the glenoid fossa while the prime movers, such as the deltoids, move the arm.
Here are two intermediate exercises I give my patients to improve shoulder stability. Both utilize the kettlebell bottoms up position where you have to keep the kettlebell upright.
1) KB shoulder press. The half kneel position helps to minimize excessive thoracic extension while trying to get full range. Make sure to lightly contract your abdominal muscles to maintain upright posture.
2) KB "armbar": As someone who does jiu jitsu I hesitate to refer to an exercise as an armbar. Press the kettlebell up and rotate on your side. Maintain each position for several seconds before adjusting.
Remember these muscles are stabilizers not prime movers so initially focus on lighter loads and high volume.
Overhead movement is dependent on having adequate mobility for the 4 joints in the shoulder complex + thoracic spine.
Here is one joint mobilization I use to improve overhead motion. This technique is used to distract the glenohumeral joint from the glenoid fossa as well as stretching the lat muscle. I prefer to use a mobility band so there is some stretch. Note: I try to relax my hand and arm as much as possible and just loop my hand through to get a sufficient enough distraction force. Use a gentle pull and stop when you feel the shoulder open up. Stop if there is pain and if you feel pain after you pulled too much.
After you improve your shoulder range of motion make sure to perform end-range isometric contractions and full active overhead motion to teach your body how to use the new available range.
I would not use this mobilization for any of my patients who have shoulder instability, "looseness" or history of shoulder dislocations.

A few years ago Joel Snape asked me to write a pithy quote about training philosophy for Men's Fitness UK. He might have even offered a paragraph. Sometimes over-delivering is the right thing but it is rarely true for the written word. Less is always more. But I just couldn't. I waited until the energy coalesced around an idea, switched on the machine and let it rip. I figured he could pull what he thought most powerful from the text. After it was published I looked it over and thought it could use a bit more flesh on the bone so I added some.
This is a recipe. Some ingredients are hard to come by, and even more difficult to prepare.
Recognize the need for change.
Revolt against old behavior and habits.
Resolve to be consistent and persistent.
Define Point B: what you want to achieve, clearly.
Define Point A: an honest, unsentimental account of your present state.
Decide on a deadline, and give yourself a penalty for missing it. Be realistic.
Design the training program: seek guidance.
In short, build a solid foundation, write a long training history, and accept a longer trajectory. If you need it three months from now you should have started three months ago. At least. There are no shortcuts. This is a long-term process and it should last for the rest of your life. You will not "arrive".
Do not over-emphasize the physical. I'll say it again, "the physical part is easy." You will fail first in your head. Always. Or talk yourself out of it. If you keep saying it's hard, it will be. If you treat training as a chore, it's drudgery. The pretense of difficulty is just an invitation for social feedback. Do you really need an audience? Do you need affirmation from others - who are probably lying anyway? Leave them out of it. If it depends on them they can revoke it at any time. But when you earn it you get to keep it.
Change your attitude. Unfuck your head. Make an honest, unsentimental accounting of your present condition. Prepare to be disappointed. Define what you want instead, clearly. By clear I mean precise, and feasible. An unrealistic objective is sure to sabotage the process. Hit the books. Try and err. Inquire. Risk. Mimic. Insist. Resist.
When the voice inside says, "no" take another step.
When the voice invites you to quit, don't.
When you think you can't go further, bluff.
When you are certain you have given everything you have, when you bluffed and got called, when you went further or harder than you believed you could, and know that in a few months you will look back without second-guessing or regrets, it will be OK to fail. But do take notes.
After you fail—and you will—show up the next day. And the day after that. If you can't train, watch. If you can't see, listen. If you truly want to learn you can learn from everything. Eventually, you will. And you will take what you know and DO, and keep doing it, and the road will rise to meet you.

Aesthetical Essays of Schiller
Aesthetical Essays of Schiller
Descriptions Aesthetical Essays of Schiller
The special subject of the greater part of the letters and essays of Schiller contained in this volume is Aesthetics; and before passing to any remarks on his treatment of the subject it will be useful to offer a few observations on the nature of this topic, and on its treatment by the philosophical spirit of different ages.
First, then, aesthetics has for its object the vast realm of the beautiful, and it may be most adequately defined as the philosophy of art or of the fine arts. To some the definition may seem arbitrary, as excluding the beautiful in nature; but it will cease to appear so if it is remarked that the beauty which is the work of art is higher than natural beauty, because it is the offspring of the mind. Moreover, if, in conformity with a certain school of modern philosophy, the mind be viewed as the true being, including all in itself, it must be admitted that beauty is only truly beautiful when it shares in the nature of mind, and is mind's offspring.
Viewed in this light, the beauty of nature is only a reflection of the beauty of the mind, only an imperfect beauty, which as to its essence is included in that of the mind. Nor has it ever entered into the mind of any thinker to develop the beautiful in natural objects, so as to convert it into a science and a system. The field of natural beauty is too uncertain and too fluctuating for this purpose. Moreover, the relation of beauty in nature and beauty in art forms a part of the science of aesthetics, and finds again its proper place.
But it may be urged that art is not worthy of a scientific treatment. Art is no doubt an ornament of our life and a charm to the fancy; but has it a more serious side? When compared with the absorbing necessities of human existence, it might seem a luxury, a superfluity, calculated to enfeeble the heart by the assiduous worship of beauty, and thus to be actually prejudicial to the true interest of practical life. This view seems to be largely countenanced by a dominant party in modern times, and practical men, as they are styled, are only too ready to take this superficial view of the office of art.

I was on my way to English class. My professor claimed to be introducing us to the greatest living writer of our time, but it was some sort of sci-fi/historical novel kind of thing. I chose to withhold judgment for the time being.
I was struggling with my so-called college "career," which seemed to be going nowhere, like I was stuck on a treadmill, running as fast as I could but making no progress. I was passing, mostly, but not thriving.
A man stopped me on my way to class. He came out of nowhere. His face was hidden. His voice was familiar, but I couldn't place it.
"Let me give you some advice," he said.
"I have to go to class," I said, expecting him to follow up his statement with a request for cash.
"I can teach you your greatest lesson."
"Sorry, not today."
He grabbed my arm. I had been taking some judo classes but wasn't confident enough in my abilities to actually do anything in response, so I just froze.
"Don't do the thing that will get you to where you can do the thing you really want to do. Just do the thing you really want to do. You are young. That is the time to take risks and make mistakes. Throw practicality to the wind. Do what you love. Make great art. I'm not saying be reckless. Be methodical, if you can. But be brave. Be obsessed. Follow your true path. Throw yourself into your passions with the single-mindedness of a Zen master. Or the mentally ill, whichever metaphor works of you. But do it, and don't delay. Time is moving on with or without you. So it goes."
"Who the hell are you?"
"I'm…a pilgrim, of sorts."
I freed myself from his grasp, and he let me go.
Later, I reflected on how the guy really creeped me out. Shook me up. Even more so for having seemed like someone I knew. I couldn't even concentrate in my English class. What bothered me most was how much he reminded me of myself.
Was he an older version of me? Did he/I travel through time to give me advice? Or was he just some weirdo who hung around campuses freaking out impressionable students?
But what if? If he/I was giving me advice on what to do, like how to avoid making some mistake, and if I took that advice, could my life change to the extent that I wouldn't come back to give myself the advice I needed to make the change in the first place? Then again, if I avoided that mistake, would I even need to come back at all?
I shook my head and rooted around in my backpack to dig out the novel for English class. So it goes, indeed.

Funds for Travel
The Guarini School of Graduate and Advanced Studies has a limited fund for graduate students who want to attend a professional conference or participate in a professional development workshop. This fund can be used for transportation, conference registration fees, and hotel expenses (excluding meals). Travel expenses for students supported on research grants should be paid from the research grant.
The travel allowance provided is up to a maximum of $1000. (It is our hope that additional department funds will sometimes be available.) Reduced fares are often available to individuals who buy their tickets early.
This travel award may be received only once. To request travel funds, a graduate student should send an email to Assistant Dean Gary Hutchins, with a cc (copy) of the email to the student's advisor. The email should include a description of the event, estimated budget, and the source of any other travel funds available to the student. This request for funding must be submitted prior to the conference and endorsed by the student's advisor or the chair of the department. Preference will be given to those who are in the last year of their study, but others are not excluded.
Approved travel expenses will be reimbursed upon return from the conference. All expenses for any Dartmouth College trip must be submitted on one travel voucher (BER), indicating any amount that is reimbursed by the student's department. Original receipts (including boarding passes) are required for all reimbursable expenditures. Your departmental Administrator will help you with accessing the BER form and submitting it to the appropriate finance center. Assistant Dean Gary Hutchins should be listed as the approver.
