Is your house too old that it becomes too risky when there are storms, earthquakes or other natural disasters? A company called A.M. Since this industry is full of competition, letting your prospective provider know you might go somewhere else with your business could help lower your quoted rates. If you are also considering having coverage for personal injuries, property damage lawsuits, or for living expenses in case of disasters, then you would have to pay higher premiums to get this type of coverage. Not only do you want to get the best rate, but you always want to make sure the home-owners insurance covers what you intend to cover. Knowing this information will make the process of doing home-owners' insurance comparison less painful and will cut down on any unwanted surprises when it is time to get quotes. However, the insurance estimates that you will get from these sites will still not be the best gauge for the amount of premiums that you have to pay.
The Latest On Establishing Primary Issues In Homeowners Insurance
While they do these checks, do your investigations as well. How to Find Low Cost home-owners Insurance low cost home-owners insurance contracts require a lot of research and leg work. The cost of home-owners insurance can range depending on where you live. One of the main reasons why home-owners also purchase is that their mortgage company requires it. Your credit, loss claims history with other insurance companies, and choices for optional coverages also influence premiums. Policy Limits for Personal Property coverage, typically stated as a percentage of the dwelling limit, utilizes the "Actual Cash Value" settlement method. Consider going up to the $1,000 deductible. This covers costs for any injuries that have occurred on your property.
You should get your insurance from a provider who is large and who serves nationally. A national company can provide you with round-the-clock service every day of the week, but a local company can usually only be reached only during normal business hours. Your claims will be processed faster with expanded hours. You will also have access to many representatives and not have to wait when you need to speak to someone.
Besides tree issues, other common causes for these notices include sewer lines backing up into peoples basements, accidents involving police and other city-owned vehicles, as well as pedestrians tripping on sidewalks. Boise rarely pays out on legal action stemming from branches that fall from trees. Since 2010, tree-related tort claims led to just four payments from the city totaling $6,260, risk specialist Jonny Bush said. Thats out of around 100 total tree-related claims during that time. The last time Boise paid a property owner for a tree-related claim was after a limb fell on a property owners fence in November 2015. The damages totaled $260. In most of those cases, Bush said, the city knew a tree had been damaged and had scheduled a repair or other response, such as removal, but didnt get to it before a branch fell and caused some kind of property damage. WHO OWNS WHAT? Boises complex lines of responsibility for trees give people a good excuse for assuming the city government is responsible for tree-caused damage. Most tree-related torts over the past year concerned trees located in the strip of ground between a sidewalk and a curb.

About the time my ball ricocheted off the bumper, I realized this was nothing like Wii bowling.
It had been ages since I'd been in an actual bowling alley, let alone bowled, so last Friday afternoon as the rain fell, I surprised my family with a little 5 pin bowling at Miracle Lanes in Sidney.
"The next 5 minutes of your life will dictate how this surprise will go," I hissed to my husband as the sign appeared. He's fickle with surprises: a new house he'd go for; a million dollars, sure; but a wife planned outing that he has no control over, seems to make him wary… much to my amusement. But that's why he married me, I'm the yang to his yin.
I admit, this adventure made me think twice. Would Miss S be able to hold the heavy ball? Would Miss Q be able to knock down the pins? What would they think of the shoes?
But nothing ventured, nothing gained is my motto, and if they were meant to be premier bowlers, we needed to start early.
My fears were replaced by new worries as the kind owner told us not to let our children cross the fault line. "We've had kids slip and hit their heads," she said. What a lovely sentence for a former lifeguard to hear. "And mind the ball return. Little fingers can get pinched." Suddenly bowling wasn't a relaxing sport.
However, as Miss Q sent her first ball down the heavily waxed lane, I realized bowling was the perfect sport for littles. She was so proud when her ball knocked over a pin; and after each frame, she had her eye on the blue screen to see what the score was. "I'm catching you," she said, her eyes sparkling with delight.
She was.
Miss S took to bowling much the same. We kept a hand on her ball as she carried it to the line. Sometimes after her push, her ball looked like it wouldn't make it, like it would stop it was going so slow, but it always got there in the end, and 9 times out of 10 would knock something down. The grin on her face was priceless.
Miss C, on the other hand, was initially startled by the noises, but quickly fell asleep. I know if she had actually played, her competitive spirit would have ignited. (My husband and I played pass the baby as we bowled.)
Both girls used the between their legs method to send their balls to the pins. By the sixth frame, my husband and I were only spotting Miss Q as she carried the ball to the line; though I didn't stop holding my breath until we were changing out of our bowling shoes and into our civilians.
Thankfully the only bowling injury suffered was pinched fingers in the ball return. That was Miss S – poor thing, her fingers have taken a beating this February. She whimpered for a moment, but shook it off and resumed saying, "Good-bye" to her ball as it rolled down the lane.
As surprises go, I'd say my husband didn't mind this one. Once we figured out the secret to 5-pin (avoiding the bumpers) was releasing the ball slowly, the spirit of competition was alive. I'll avoid broadcasting the score, but let's just say the next time we go, my husband and I plan on bringing grandparents to bowl with the littles so we can have our own lane for a rematch.

Ukraine weans itself from natural gas
Economy keeps chugging along despite Russia raising prices
KIEV, UKRAINE — The warnings in Ukraine verged on the apocalyptic when Russia sharply raised prices for natural gas a year ago. Many feared factories would close, leading to mass layoffs and grinding industry to a halt. But Ukraine's economy leaped ahead, its businesses quickly adapting to the higher costs.
Now that other former Soviet republics have been hit by price increases for Russian natural gas, Ukraine's experience offers them a ray of hope, analysts say — but note that Ukraine has advantages that newly hard-hit countries such as Belarus and Georgia lack.
Ukraine's economy grew by about 7 percent in 2006 despite Russia's nearly doubling its price for gas and appears in good position to absorb this year's further increase.
In 2005 Ukraine paid $50 per 1,000 cubic meters of Russian gas, but now pays $130. The dispute led to temporary reductions of supplies to Western Europe and raised wide concern about Russia's reliability as an energy partner.
Proportionately, the increase was bigger than Russia imposed on Georgia and Belarus this year. Georgia agreed to pay $235 per 1,000 cubic meters, up from the $110 it was paying previously. Belarus will pay $100 per 1,000 cubic meters this year, slightly more than double the $47 it paid in 2006.
But unlike Belarus, whose economy is mostly state-controlled, Ukraine's economy was open and flexible when the increases hit. And unlike Georgia, Ukraine has diversified industry and alternative resources to fall back on.
Ukraine was the largest gas importer of the former Soviet countries, able for years to ignore its wasteful habits because of the ready supply of cheap gas that Moscow had provided. But once Russia forced the price hikes, Ukrainian industry took action.
The steel industry — the driving force of the country's economy, but also one of the biggest energy users — has led the push, tapping into what had been extremely healthy profit margins to foot the bill.
Following the lead of competitors in Asia and the West, Ukraine's big metallurgical plants began chucking out gas-guzzling furnaces for those that use pulverized coal.
The initial investment is steep, around $26 million to $33 million per furnace, but the payoff is a process that requires almost no natural gas and cuts production costs considerably. It also uses a resource that Ukraine already has in abundance.
Mikhail Berger, a Russian economic analyst, told Russia's Ekho Moskvy radio that by raising prices, Russia did Ukraine "a colossal favor."
"The Ukrainian economy has begun to arrange itself under the realities of the market, and when it overcomes this gas withdrawal — like a drug withdrawal — it will become truly competitive," he said.
In the meantime, Ukrainian politicians have been flirting with other possible energy sources. Last year during a visit to Chernobyl, President Viktor Yushchenko used the 20th anniversary of the world's worst nuclear accident to say that Ukraine shouldn't rule out building new nuclear power stations.
Officials also say coal deserves a wider look. Some estimates suggest that Ukraine has the ninth-largest coal reserves in the world.
Belarus and Georgia might have a trickier time, analysts say. Ukraine's export-driven industries were buoyed by high world prices and could invest in energy-saving technology, and the country has significant alternative energy sources to tap into.

"I'm just a stay at home mom."
I can hear it in my voice. The sound of reluctance as I quickly dismiss the question of what I do for work. It's a questions I hate being asked. No, I'm not ashamed of being a mother. No, I don't feel guilty for staying home with my daughter; it's hard work! But to the outsiders who don't have children or to those who were always inclined to go back to work after maternity leave, I feel like I have to downplay what I do. Don't ask why, I don't understand it either.
I first noticed I was saying this during dinner with my husband one evening. We were talking about his day at work and a few clients he was dealing with and before I knew it I was responding with "What do I know? I'm just a stay at home mom." I continued on to say the only things I do all day are change diapers, let a tiny human use me as a napkin and try to resemble some sort of functioning adult. I am not changing lives. I am not interacting with the human race and I'm sure as heck not contributing to the household.
Now, you and I both know this is crazy talk. We all know that SAHMs do way more than the tasks I listed above. In addition to being a mom, I'm also the dog walker, the grocery shopper, the laundry attendant, the maid service, the personal shopper, the taxi driver, the chef, the baker and so much more. And on top of that, I volunteer for my sorority, I fundraise for causes that are important to me like the Alzheimer's Association, and I blog for EVMB and my sorority.

Multiple Layers of lighting: As always, lighting is indeed the key that opens the road to a trendy, fresh and magnificent bedroom atmosphere. While big bedrooms might have the ability to sneak out with a poorly-lit corner someplace, it simply will not fly in case of compact bedrooms. A bedroom layout that incorporates large windows to help usher in ample all-natural light is an ideal start. For people who cannot tap into an organic light, an array of artificial lighting would be the best alternative.
If you want to make the bedroom a luxurious retreat then you should make sure that you make high-quality and smart decisions.
With the sheets fitting nicely, you might want a nice comforter on top. A regular comforter, bedspread or blanket will come off easily. They make a comforter for bunk beds called a bunk bed cap. It is also known as a bunkie, hugger or snuggler. The bottom is fitted so it stays in place during the night and makes up nicely during the day. These special comforters are not just for bunk beds. They work well on twin or full beds, trundle beds or any bed with a footboard.

Annie, our springer spaniel knew it was time for a summer cut. She is a good sport about getting groomed.
Shelby is glad heelers don't need haircuts. She is a low maintenance dog.
Annie got a bit worn out getting beautiful and had to take five.
Finally, the grooming session was over and she could feel the cool grass again!
Annie is Now an English Shorthair!

Annie is so cute. I probably said it before, but I love her all black head! Have you ever tried to clip a cat. . .might get a bit bloody in the process. Someone will think you attacked by a string trimmer.ReplyDelete
I love that last photo - would be ideal for a caption competition!ReplyDelete
Just a wee question - we've seen your dogs and your cat, but what about your rabbit?ReplyDelete
Oh, how good is you dog is sit so patiently..... it looks like a sheep shearing LOLReplyDelete

You are right Jackie-McDuff is "the man".

The 'Call of Duty: WWII' beta is available to pre-load from Steam.
Activision have announced PC players are able to start preparing for the game's preview event, which will start on Friday (29.09.17) and run all weekend until Monday (02.10.17).
A tweet on the 'Call of Duty' official Twitter account read: "The #CODWWII PC Open Beta is now available to pre-load on Steam. Download now so you're ready for Sept. 29 (sic)"
The tester is open to everyone who wishes to try out the product whether or not they've pre-ordered the title.

"Together with Raven Software, we're excited to share that the 'Call of Duty: WWII' Open Multiplayer Beta on PC will kick off on September 29th and run through October 2nd on Steam.
"The PC Open Beta is just a small part of the full 'Call of Duty: WWII' Multiplayer experience coming to Steam in November. This test is a critical step on our road to delivering the best possible online experience on Steam at launch in November, with the following key goals:
"Stress test core gameplay systems and online backend infrastructure at scale
"Provide PC fans with their first hands-on experience of the boots-on-the-ground combat coming in Call of Duty: WWII Multiplayer
"Engage with the PC community to fine-tune and optimize the PC experience for November (sic)"
This comes after a successful console beta test in August.

well my dear ones,
I've been thinking about a song called Time,
from the Pink Floyd album,
Dark Side of the Moon.
We're talking some time ago here (1973),
hence, some song facts for those
who may be unfamiliar with it:
Specifically, I was thinking about
one particular line,
"Hanging on in quiet desperation
is the English way."
At the time he wrote it,
nigh well nearly 40 years ago,
Roger Waters thought it seemed to
sum up the English character.
Actually, it also summed up the character
of many other people as well.
Yet these days,
instead of quiet desperation,
many people I meet
seem to be living lives of
frantic desperation,
running through life
with little sense of direction,
and living on the edge.
Sometimes it's obvious
after a little conversation,
but often it's not;
there's plenty of people
you'll run into every day
who are right on the verge
of losing their last bit of hope
of rising up toward being
more than they ever knew
they could be.
A smile,
even though you maybe don't feel like,
and a kind word of two from you,
could make all the difference.
May God grant you the grace
to have the discernment
to see who the truly frantic people are,
and to give them a word of encouragement.
Have a great week!
grace, peace, and love to you,
"Silence in the face of evil is itself evil:
God will not hold us guiltless.
Not to speak is to speak.
Not to act is to act."
--- Dietrich Bonheoffer

The Residence Halls on the Hill (Prince George, Caroline, and Dorchester) hosted a block party yesterday afternoon. It was pretty excellent. There was pumpkin carving, food, Hawk Radio, beer goggles, and most important of all
Free Shirts. It was the blue ones from Monday.
-I was carving my pumpkin, which said SMUT SLUT, and Dean Bayless walked over to see what it said, and I carefully covered the SLUT portion. Very awkwards
-Jesse Lee, Adam K., and the French kid in my Chinese class cooked food. They ran out of veggie burgers really early on so I ended up not being vegetarian for a half hour, since I wanted food and the Great Room closed early. Also they didn't have condiments until the very end :[
-A first year yelled "fuck you" at someone during the contest to win a "super sober safe sex shirt"; it was really awkward and weird. And somehow Karina remembered all of the alcohol awareness events from the week.
-Chris Rodkey and I made caramel apples. They were delicious
Overall it was pretty enjoyable. If you want to see my pumpkin, it is in Chris Rodkey's window or the RA office window

In 2011 it was announced that Jim would be writing a book which I planned to purchase at some point. A few months later it was announced he would be doing a book signing in Huntington Beach in April of 2012. Perfect I thought as I could purchase the book and then also have him sign it. But there was a bonus. He would also sign one outside piece which would be included in the price. In this age that is a rarity for book signings. Now I could get a book and finally add Jim to my autographed ball collection.
Jim was born with just one hand and was drafted by the Angels and debuted in 1989. I was always in awe watching him on tv and see how he could pitch and pitch with accuracy with one hand when some players couldn't do that with two. While he went on to compile what most people would say is a mediocre career at best I always supported him and wished him well. He even threw a no-hitter and got a few base hits. Still not sure which is more impressive. I won't go into much detail about Jim as you should read his book which is a good read
Arrived at B and N for the signing and it was packed. I was in Angel territory and it showed. There wasn't really a line but more like a gathering. There were a lot of people that had the same condition as Jim or people that knew people with it. He showed off how he pitched and switched glove hands in one fluid motion. More impressive in person. He went over his childhood and his achievements in baseball and even though I was there for some signatures I was enthralled by his presentation. Time for the actual book signing and he stated no need to feel rushed as he will sign for everyone no matter how long it takes. Classy. Patiently waited and probably was about 100th in line and it went slow as he talked with everyone and signed sometimes more than just the book and one outside item. I didn't mind at all. Finally got up and told him thank you and asked him for a picture as I saw him taking pictures with others and he politely without saying handicap he was basically only doing pictures with people with similar conditions. He was nice and upfront with that and that is all you can ask. Said no problem and thank you for the signed book and ball. Left the store and was happy with my purchases and the chance that I got to sit and listen to a good man talk about how he overcame what God gave him and became a role model for people. Again, the book is a good read if you ever get the chance and the ball came out great. Thank you again Jim.
Jim signing.
One of my favorite IP acquired baseballs.

Recently I have been watching some events unfold in the global oil struggle that have left me thinking that the white house may be quite clever.
The problem America faced was that Americans spend a disproportionate amount of their income on driving. Increased oil prices were hitting Americans particularly hard with substantial fallout for consumer spending and especially the American auto companies.
Meanwhile the rest of the world (think China & India especially) uses far less oil per citizen. They were not particularly enthusiastic about trying to pressure for lower oil prices. I imagine they may even have had a private smile at the discomfort of America. Buying their political support with "aid" payments (a common strategy) would have been unacceptably costly.
So what did the administration do? They started promoting ethanol production from American corn. On the face of it this may even be scientifically silly with little distribution infrastructure, difficult production versus sugar cane ethanol, and questionable economics.
And yet the move was brilliant! The cost to the government is less than any conceivable diplomatic aid package and stays inside the US (buying corn belt votes for the Republicans, not incidentally). Meanwhile the ethanol boost has raised global food prices significantly as corn gets rerouted into ethanol production. Americans may spend more on oil, but developing countries spend more on food. American food inflation has risen just 1% to about 3%. In China food inflation has jumped to 6% - hitting every family hard and putting massive pressure on the Chinese government. Chinese food reserves are estimated to be near all-time lows. In some parts of Europe food inflation has reached 13%!
Meanwhile the cost of food just keeps going up. In 2006 16% of the grain harvest in the US went to Ethanol production, by 2008 that number is predicted to reach 30%. Among hedge funds grain is the new copper, a hot commodity for trading. Corn is used for feed leading to dairy and meat products and to make the ubiquitous corn-syrup used to sweeten most foods so the impact is universal.
Suddenly India, China, and the rest of the world are interested in lowering the price of oil to reduce the "global fuel emergency." The new political pressure is being felt by producers and oil prices have seen declines recently and estimates are that gasoline in the US will be crest about 11 cents cheaper than last year - putting $33 billion or so back into consumers pockets. This means that the ethanol programs of the US government are already profitable from a political and strategic standpoint.
I have to admit it, the administration has pulled off a brilliant move on ethanol. Assuming all this was on purpose, of course. It would be great if corn ethanol actually makes it as a fuel but even if the programs are cut in failure in a year or two America will come out ahead.
Invest Well,

From the Sermon's Edge
I happen to be comfortable with being a Christian and talking about it. But I want to go outside that box for the moment. Let's look at the quote again but with a bit of a twist...
"If you were on trial for _________________, would they find enough evidence to convict you?"
Now, look at a few options that we can fill-in the blank with:
-> believing in yourself
-> being a good friend to someone
-> being happy
Clearly we can find many things to fill-in the blank with that would force us take a deeper look at where we are versus we should or better yet, wish to be.
Until next time, May God Bless You All!

I wandered over here after reading your comment on my blog. Thank you. If you would like to, I'd appreciate your signing my guest map. Thanks also for linking to my blog. :-)

This is a good thought for the day. Thanks, Chris.
I saw this kid on TV this weekend, Matty Spanek(Sp?). He has been on Oprah, Larry King, etc. He was the termanally ill 13 year old poet and public speaker on peace.
When I heard him speak over the weekend, I wept. The kid passed last week and they were replaying his appearances. What a brave kid. He was all about the moment.
Fill that thing in with, "am I all about making the best of the moment, not worrying about the future and the past..." Try that one on for size.
Heartsongs is the name of his book. Read it. All the cynical BS that built up inside of me took quite a blow thanks to Matty.

Jason got his 3rd set of tympanostomy tubes today. We had to be up by 6:00am and to the hospital by 7:00am. We dropped the other kids off at Janice and Dick's and headed out to the hospital.
We got there right at 7am, and started to check Jason in. You actually input his information into a computer there and Brett and I were a little absorbed. When I turned around Jason was gone. I ran in the hall and there he was playing with the wheel chairs. That's what I get for taking my eyes off him for 30 seconds.
They checked him out. He was having a bit of an asthma attack, so they gave him a good nebulizer treatment. He actually left the mask on while he colored on the sanitary paper on the bed.
Once he checked out ok, we went across to the surgery waiting room. He was so cute! He wanted his blanket, and carried it with him.
This is a fascination of his lately. If he sees a kitchen, everything has to go in it.
The anesthesiologist was HUGE! His arms were monstrous. I told him Jason would possibly give him a run for his money, but he started talking to him as he took him away. It was cute, the doctor was Austrian and had a pretty deep voice. As he walked away he said, "Hi Jason, look at the butterflies. Do you see them?" Jason never budged out of his arms.
Dr. Muntz came back after about 8 minutes of waiting. He was finished and Jason was just recovering from the anesthesia. About 10 minutes later we were called back and Jason had taken off his blood pressure cuff, he'd made them remove his name tag, and he'd gotten the pulse oxygen meter off. But he was just laying there like there wasn't anything to worry about.
We got out about 20 minutes after he'd woken up. This is him as we were waiting for his ear drops. He took a huge nap this afternoon, but other then that he hasn't seemed like anything is affecting him. I know tubes aren't that big of a deal, but I'm sure I would be a little loopy all day.


text: Shares of Christopher & Banks Corp. CBK, -3.77% soared 21% in premarket trade Tuesday, after the women's apparel retailer said it was exploring the sale and leaseback of its corporate facility in Minnesota. The company said it has engaged a "leading commercial real estate company" to solicit interest for a deal, which it believes would unlock additional capital and improve its liquidity position. The company estimates the value of the building to be in the low-to-mid-teen million dollar range. Separately, the company said it swung to a fiscal third-quarter net loss of $1.6 million, or 5 cents a share, from a profit of $3.5 million, or 9 cents a share, in the same period a year ago. Revenue fell 7.7% to $98.5 million from $106.7 million, as the number of stores operated declined 6% to 473. Same-store sales decreased 5.0%, after rising 4.5% a year ago, while e-commerce sales increased 8.5% after rising 16.3% last year. The stock had plunged 59% year to date through Monday, while the SPDR S&P Retail ETF XRT, +0.34% has lost 5.6% and the S&P 500 SPX, +0.22% had gained 16%.

text: Valentino's columns - I try and be as informed as possible before traveling but often learn more about a place during and especially after the trip. Thats half the fun for me, every picture has its story and lessons. Finding information about these columns was actually a challenge. So, from what I can gather, these 'plastic' columns were set up on the site of the Temple of Venus in Rome as part of the 2007 celebration of stylist Valentino's 50th anniversary in the fashion industry. I'm not really sure how I feel about these. If they were marble or somehow traditionally crafted I might celebrate them as a modern continuation of, and addition to, the artistry of Roman architecture. but ... Sticking plastic columns in the middle of all this antiquity seems wrong somehow. Maybe I'm missing something... If I wanted to see plastic monuments I would have gone to Vegas. Feel free to enlighten me if I am missing part of the story. Here is a little factoid - Venus represents AMOR ( love ) which is.... Roma backwards ! Ta da!

248/366 [A Magnolia of my own]
It's more than nineteen years since my Dad died and the one enduring memory of that time is the magnificent magnolias that were flowering in so very many suburban gardens across Melbourne as we made the long drive to the funeral. And now, each August, as I see them spring to life again, I find that they are inextricably linked to my memories of Dad. Over the years I had made a couple of half hearted attempts to grow one in my garden but they struggled to establish themselves in the clay soil and through the savage drought. But this morning, when I came out into the garden, there were open flowers on a newly planted specimen near our front door.

Starting a concrete buildings business is your ticket to owning a good, stable business if you have the creativity and tenacity necessary to be a successful entrepreneur. We offer tips and advice on the essential elements for business success.
Thinking about opening a concrete buildings business? We tell you what you need to know to get started.
(article continues below)
How to Create a Winning Concrete Buildings Company Business Plan
By now, you're probably tired of hearing how important a good business plan is to your concrete buildings business startup.
Although it might seem like an unnecessary formality, your concrete buildings company's business plan is a document that will shape your goals and strategies on a go-forward basis.
Furthermore, a good business plan will help you avoid key startup mistakes. Lacking a solid business plan, many startups find themselves rudderless and incapable of executing consistent decision making processes, while committed business planners rely on their plans to guide all of their decision making and short-term planning efforts.
Look Over the Competition
Prior to launching a concrete buildings business in your town, it's worthwhile to see how you will fit in the competitive landscape. Try our link below to get a list of local competitors near you. Just enter your city, state and zip code to get a list of concrete buildings businesses in your community.
Before you open up shop, make sure you know what you will offer to your customers that provides a significant advantage over your competition's offering.
Learning More About the Industry
As part of your due diligence on opening a concrete buildings business, it's a wise move to learn from folks who are already in business. If you think owners of nearby concrete buildings businesses will give you advice, think again. Why would they want to educate a future competitor?
However, a fellow entrepreneur who has started a concrete buildings business in another town may be more than happy to give you a few tips, as long as they don't view you as a competitive threat. Many business owners are happy to give advice to new entrepreneurs In my experience, you may have to call ten business owners in order to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.
Where do you find a concrete buildings business entrepreneur in another city who you can speak with?
Here's one way to do it. Just use our link below, find somebody and call them.
Acquisitions vs. Startups
Unfortunately, many inexperienced concrete buildings business entrepreneurs approach ownership with the mistaken idea that a startup is their only option when they could also pursue a business acquisition.
Unless you have compelling reasons to launch a new business, buying an existing concrete buildings business may be the better choice.
Established concrete buildings businesses are already equipped with the resources and processes new business owners struggle to acquire. If you're diligent about finding the right acquisition prospect, you may be able to leverage a business buying strategy to rapidly propel yourself into a position of industry leadership.
Is Franchising the Right Option?
The chances of becoming a successful entrepreneur zoom upwards if you decide to franchise and benefit from the prior work of others and their lessons learned.
Before you consider starting a concrete buildings business, it's worthwhile to determine whether franchising might make it easy to get started.
The link below gives you access to our franchise directory so you can see if there's a franchise opportunity for you. You might even find something that points you in a completely different direction.

Photography in Japan 1853-1912
|Terry Bennett
|Terry Bennett
In a world where digital cameras and camera phones have become ubiquitous, looking back at a time period when this wasn't the case offers a distinctive insight. "Photography in Japan 1853-1912" is a fascinating book that offers a unique visual record of Japan and its metamorphosis from feudal society to a modern, industrial nation at a time when the art of photography was still in its infancy. This comprehensive and authoritative book begins with the opening of Japan to foreigners in 1853 when Commodore Matthew Perry compelled the reclusive nation to sign a treaty allowing access to Japan for the first time in over 250 years. Reluctantly at first, and then enthusiastically, Japan opened its doors to people and ideas, modernizing at a rate that was, and remains, unprecedented in human society. All of this was captured on camera. The 350 old and rare images in this book, many of them published here for the first time, not only chronicle the introduction of photography in Japan, but also demonstrate that early photographic images of Japan are vital in helping to understand the dramatic changes that occurred in mid-nineteenth century Japan. Taken between 1853 and 1912 by the most important local and foreign photographers working in Japan, the photographic images, whether sensational or everyday, intimate or panoramic, document a nation about to abandon its traditional ways and enter the modern age.
"Writer Bennett crafted this beautiful and educational book from a collection of 350 old and rare images captured by Western photographers. This book offers a glimpse of life in Japan during one of its most dramatic periods in history."--"Shutterbug"

This can be a reminder that efficient 23rd January 2017, all Indian nationals intending to visit Hong Kong should first apply for and efficiently complete pre-arrival registration online. There's an categorical resort elevator, which works from the ticket gates of Nankai Namba (which connects directly to KansaiInternationalAirport). We make each effort to ensure the price you see on Skyscanner is the price you pay with the airline. So far as accommodations go, I've stayed in a variety of them, from a converted fort to smelly low-cost inns and motels.
Even though shuttle companies admire your reserving a reservation in advance on your arrival time at DFW Airport, do not expect that you'll stroll out to the curb after claiming your baggage and be instantly whisked away to your resort. Went at a practice ticket booking agent's workplace, his son assured me that ticket can be confirmed, ultimately, he failed to e book our ticket, withdrawing money from that agent and contacted my native agent, asked him to e-book three confirmed ticket in AC three tier sleeper class.
Another nice solution to defend your money and cut back the chance of theft is to maintain the majority of your cash within the hotel protected, taking only enough out each day to pay for small incidental purchases. All Kathmandu Hotel is situated in the coronary heart of the city near Thamel, Lazimpat, Durbar Marg the Royal Palace, historic Durbar Sq. and several vital temples and spiritual websites.
Should you discover your lodge cheaper on every other UK website inside 24 hours, we gives you the difference. And should positively be an organization to take a look at to search out some actually good resort offers on the market, for no matter nation you are planning to order a hotel in. Athena is providing membership at low-cost rates and is meant for native school hangouts close to Nehru Place.
Frequent issues happen right here for non-smokers, who are sometimes positioned in smoking rooms regardless of the booking necessities. Our free travel software offers you the bottom costs on our hand-picked lodges and cheap flights, with no reserving fees. So if you are staying in Bangkok on the weekday and want some souvenirs or humorous t-shirts at low-cost prices head to Pratunam Market.

Since I last blogged, life has been even more crazy. The constant onslaught of school has remained the same. I am longing for the end of semester, yet dreading it all at the same time. I just took a class on Images of the American West. It was crazy. 6 days of lecture in a row about Turner's Thesis, Custer, and Sitting Bull have a way of completely numbing your brain.
Since I've been back in sunny border town, there have been two exciting developments. The first is my garden. Yes, I plant killer extraordinaire have managed with the help of my hubby to keep lots of plants that I grew from the seeds alive. I have a whole array of kitchen herbs in little pots and a giant plot of Big Max pumpkins, sugar pumpkins, and spaghetti squash. There is lots of green so far! I am excited to see the pumpkins/squashes grow!
The other exciting news is that WM and I adopted a dog. He's really cute. Mack is a 97 lb golden retriever mix. He has a sunny disposition and his favorite activity is trying to lay on our guest bed. His second favorite activity is laying on our old couch.
Well, that's all for today - time to get back to the hw!

Spacious and private
December 2015
This apartment was everything we had hoped for. A private entrance (and courtyardish area, though we were too busy to use), and it was a separate building. There was a business downstairs that we never heard a peep from, and no close neighbors. It had everything we needed and really no negatives. At first I was worried we would hear a lot of street noise, but it was a non-issue. We live in a very quiet neighborhood so we are very sensitive to noise. A huge bonus is that it is about two blocks from the 4th street shopping which includes dining and coffee. For us it was the perfect place to sleep and come back for some downtime after a day running around with family.

text: First I want to apologize for not posting in what seems like forever. I have not been myself lately. A few months ago I came to know what anxiety was. I never really knew exactly what people felt when they went through anxiety. I always thought it was just a phase that you could control easily and people were just always overreacting when they said they dealt with anxiety. Well, I was completely wrong. Anxiety is a completely horrible and utterly terrifying thing … at least in my opinion. I just could not control it at all.

That looks like so much fun! Nice bikes.By Bone, at 7/25/2005 01:35:00 PM
What brand and style of personal hydration system do you use?
I bought one of these from Target. Not fancy, but has completely served my purposes thus far. Although I do not like the bladder that came with it. I didn't like the bite valve, and the first time I took it apart to clean it...well, it leaked every time after. I bought another bladder, and I can actually fit two bladders in the pack, plus other gear. And I like it because it has both a waist and a chest strap, all adjustable.By InterstellarLass, at 7/25/2005 01:55:00 PM
Wow, it looks like you had a lot of fun! I love the pics of your legs. LOL! Not the first pic of your legs.By Indigo, at 7/25/2005 07:01:00 PM
wow, sounds like a LOT of fun!!!By Laura, at 7/25/2005 07:12:00 PM
if you want to send me the fuzzy picts, or the ones that need more color, I'll see what I can do. I've got some photo editing software that might help.
I like the pics that you said are blurry. It has a kinda cool effect. Some people would pay lots of money for a filter that would do that. I know it's not what you wanted but I like 'em. Looks like it was tons of fun too!By Carnealian, at 7/26/2005 06:35:00 AM

WASHINGTON -- Let's take note of what Independence Day has become and what it should mean.
To the faux-patriotic pomp and bombast we have come to associate with this day of celebration-cum-commemoration have now been added the devil's ingredients of indefinite post-9/11 security paranoia and militaristic arrogance.
We have taken too much to heart, too unthinkingly, John Adams' vision for the day, described in a July 3, 1776 letter to his wife Abigail: "I am apt to believe that [Independence Day] will be celebrated, by succeeding generations, as the great anniversary festival. ... It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shews [shows], games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other from this time forward forever more."

Remember that investing in real estate is more like playing chess than playing checkers. A major mistake can destroy everything, but don't get scared away. It is possible to succeed if you have the right knowledge, and the following information helps provide it.
If you plan on investing in the real estate business, you should get a business license. This will help to protect both you and the investments that you make in the future. There are possible tax benefits to incorporating your business as well.
Go into the meetings that you have with potential investors with a positive mindset, but understand that a negative outcome is possible. Always have a jovial, but businesslike personality to get the people who want to invest to like you. This will go a long way and make your potential investors more comfortable.
Understand that reputation is one of the most important aspects that you will deal with when venturing into this business. Therefore, you should always abide by your word and never lie to a potential client. This will give you the credibility around town that will make people more loyal to you.
Inspections cost money. However, if there are problems with the property that cannot be seen by the naked eye, you are likely to spend much more money in the long run. Therefore, think of an inspection like an investment and always have one done prior to purchasing a property. It may not uncover anything, but there is always the chance that there is something seriously wrong with a home.
When looking to purchase an investment property, make sure the rent you will be collecting will cover most, if not all your monthly mortgage payment. By doing this, you will be starting on the right track. Nothing is worse than having to come up with money out of your pocket for the monthly rent because your renter's monthly payment doesn't cover it.
Never invest too much money in the beginning as this can cause a lot of problems down the road. Overextending yourself can lead to problems with your savings plans and prevent you from buying great properties in the near future. Develop the proper budget and follow it to a tee.
When you are buying property for investment, you should hire an affordable handyman. If you don't, costly repairs may have a negative impact on your cash flow. A handyman that's good should be able to handle any emergency a tenant has after hours.
A fixer-upper may be cheap, but think about how much you have to renovate to bring it up in value. If the property only needs cosmetic upgrades, it may be a good investment. However, major structural problems can very costly to fix. In the long-run, it may not give you a good return on your investment.
If you are considering buying rental real estate, also think about hiring a good property manager to screen qualified and dependable tenants. Since the rent they pay will pay your mortgage, you need to make sure they have good credit and habits. Otherwise, you will quickly begin to lose on your investment.
Seek out new clients by contacting a title company. Ask for a list of the buyers in your area who have purchased homes similar to the type you seek. In this way, you can let them know of your interest in investing before they have even thought of reselling. Being acquainted in advance gives you an edge.
When shopping for real estate, a property's location is of primary interest. Many times, purchasing a fixer upper in a great location is better than purchasing the perfect house in a location that is undesirable. Think about the location and its potential.
Speak with friends, family or schoolmates who have knowledge about the business and pick their brains. This can be a free source of information that can help you to develop the best possible strategy for your budget and skill level. Gaining more knowledge is imperative in this business to gain an edge.
Investing in real estate is easier when you know how to make the right choices. The less you know, the harder real estate investing will be. So, use what you have learned, and realize that you should continue to pick up new information and have a strong plan prior to beginning your real estate portfolio.

You understand what's going on, sort of.
You can sing along to a few Spanish songs, you get the gist of basic conversation, but you can't string a sentence together.
Sound familiar?
The most likely explanation is that you simply haven't learned about basic Spanish sentence construction.
But isn't it the same as in English? I hear you cry. Unfortunately not. If it were, life would be much easier, but then learning a new language would also be much less fun, and far less satisfying.
Why Learn the Basics of Spanish Sentences?
Once you get these simple rules down, you'll be able to construct more complex sentences. Think of the language as a building. If you don't construct the foundations properly, the whole thing will fall down. But once you've got a solid foundation, you're free to build whatever you like on top.
And that thing about Spanish and English not being the same. Is that really true? Well, Spanish is similar to English in some ways. Its structure is not so different that you'll have to totally rethink the way you see life to get your head around it, but there are some differences. As you'd imagine, it's these differences that lead to most mistakes being made.
So pay attention, because you're about to learn the building blocks for your future Spanish-speaking life.
5 Simple Rules You Must Learn to Build Basic Spanish Sentences
1. Every Spanish sentence needs a subject and a verb.
To make a normal, affirmative sentence, you need a subject and a verb. That's it. If we imagine our subject is "Juan"—to use a typical Spanish name as is the way of most Spanish textbooks—and our verb is escribir (to write), we can then make the simple sentence: Juan escribe.
For more on forming the present tense, see this post.
And that's all you need: subject and verb!
To make things even easier, it's often possible to omit the subject once we know who we are talking about. So if we said "Juan escribe," our next sentence could be, "Escribe bien" (He writes well).
Since the first sentence told us our subject is Juan, and the verb in the second sentence gives us information that we are talking about a he/she/it, we can assume we are still talking about Juan. We could also use a pronoun to replace the subject by writing, "Él escribe" (He writes). As long as we've mentioned our subject once, it's fine to do this.
2. Adjectives come after nouns in Spanish sentences.
This is where English speakers are likely to make mistakes. Imagine that Juan has green eyes and we want to say so in Spanish. We need to write that he has "ojos verdes" (literally: eyes green) and not "verdes ojos." Adjective after noun is one of the first rules Spanish learners have to get to grips with and its importance cannot be stressed enough.
This rule applies to other adjective and noun combinations, not just green eyes. If Juan has long hair, we'd say he has "pelo largo" (literally: hair long) and if it's short, it would be "pelo corto."
Just to make things even more confusing, you also need to remember to make your adjectives agree. So if the noun is plural, the adjective needs to be plural too. For example, since ojos (eyes) is plural, that's why we paired it with verdes (green – plural) and not the singular verde. You can learn to get your head around that one in this post.
Note that in some cases, this rule is turned on its head. Some adjectives change their meaning depending on whether they are placed before or after the noun. But for now, just stick to the adjectives after nouns rule, you can worry about the exceptions later.
3. Adverbs function in Spanish like they do in English.
Like in English, Spanish adverbs are used to describe verbs.
For example, "Juan lee rápidamente" (Juan reads quickly). How does he read? He reads quickly, which describes the verb "reads." Good for Juan.
Here's another example: "Juan canta mal" (Juan sings badly). Not so good for Juan.
Spanish adverbs can also move around in the sentence, similar to how they can in English. We could say:
Juan escribe lentamente. (Literally: Juan writes slowly)
Lentamente escribe Juan. (Literally: Slowly writes Juan)
Either way, we would be saying that Juan writes slowly. This may or may not be a good thing, depending on your point of view.
To make most Spanish adverbs, just add "-mente" to the end of the adjective. If the adjective ends in "o" to describe a masculine noun, you'll need to make sure that the letter before the "-mente" is "a" and not "o."
- rápido/rápida, → rápidamente
- lento/lenta → lentamente
- perfecto/perfecta → perfectamente
If the adjective doesn't end in o/a, you can simple add "-mente." For example, difícil (difficult) becomes difícilmente. Not so difícil after all!
The addition of "-mente" in Spanish is similar to the addition of "-ly" to adjectives in English ("slow" becomes "slowly," for example).
Unlike Spanish adjectives, Spanish adverbs do not convey gender and are the same whether we're talking about a male or female.
Of course, there are also a few adverbs that don't follow the "add -mente" rule. The most common irregular adverbs are:
bueno → bien
malo → mal
Remember those two and you should have no problem making basic sentences with adverbs.
4. To make a Spanish sentence negative, add "no" before the verb.
At some point, unless you are the most positive person in the world, you're going to want to make your sentences negative.
The good news is that in Spanish negativity is really easy. Easier than in English.
Just add "no" before the verb. That's it.
So "Juan escribe" (Juan writes) becomes "Juan no escribe" (Juan doesn't write).
Why Juan doesn't write isn't clear in this instance, but that's the good thing about the basics.
You can add to the sentence from your building block and say "Juan no escribe porque es un gato" (Juan doesn't write because he's a cat), or whatever other explanation for Juan's lack of writing skills takes your fancy.
Unlike in English, it is possible in Spanish to use double negatives. For example, we could say "no me gusta nada," which translates literally to, "I don't like nothing," but is completely correct grammatically in Spanish.
5. There are three ways to make questions in Spanish.
Unless your entire conversation is going to be one-sided (perhaps as you're talking to Juan the cat), you'll also likely want to ask questions. Again, this is easier to do in Spanish than it is in English, which is probably why Spanish speakers often find questions in English difficult to form.
Spanish-learners should have far less problems. Yay! There are several ways to make questions in Spanish:
Switch verb and subject.
The positive sentence "Juan cocina" (Juan cooks) becomes "¿Cocina Juan?" (Does Juan cook?). Don't forget that in Spanish you also need an upside down question mark at the beginning of your question.
Add question marks and rising intonation.
An even easier way to make a question is simply to put question marks around a statement. So "Juan cocina" becomes "¿Juan cocina?"
This is fine in writing, but how do we know someone is asking a question when they talk if they're using the same words as when they're making an affirmative sentence?
The answer is that it's all in the intonation. Go up at the end of your sentence and your listener will be able to tell that you're asking a question. You're probably used to rising intonation for questions in English. Or don't you go up at the end of your sentences? If you read that last question out loud, you'll probably see what I mean.
Add question tags.
The third and final easy way to make a question is Spanish is to add what's called a question tag. This is when you say a normal sentence, but you add a question word after the sentence. You know, like in English, right?
Let's use Juan and his cooking one final time. "Juan cocina" is our sentence, as you are all by now well aware. To make a question, we just add "¿no?" on the end, or "¿verdad?"
So our question is: "Juan cocina, ¿no?" or "Juan cocina, ¿es verdad?" This is like saying, "Juan cooks, doesn't he?"
You've got all that, haven't you?
So there you have it. Five simple rules to help you learn Spanish sentences. Now you've got the basics down, you can go forth and construct something a bit more complex. Happy building!

IN THE PAST WEEK, I have experienced, full force, what it feels like to live in a car-centered culture without a car. I have begged bus drivers to drop me off at the bookstore where I work -- which is on the bus route, but is not a scheduled stop -- and been flatly turned down. I also had one bus driver agree to drop me off at that stop, but charge me a premium for doing so. Once I was on my way home to call a cab after being told by two bus drivers that they would not let me off at my work stop and by sheer chance my ex-husband was driving by: He stopped, and when I told him what had happened, he was nice enough to drive me to work that morning.
Once at work, I have gone from co-worker to co-worker, trying to find one whose shift ended around the time mine did and who might be willing to drive me home. People have been kind, but having to rely on the kindness of strangers makes me feel like Blanche DuBois, and that is not a comfortable feeling.
If I lived in Europe, I wouldn't need to have a car to get through the routines of my daily life. I have been thinking more and more about how hard this country makes it for its own people just to live their lives, to get to work, to the supermarket, to do anything, really. It's truly absurd when you have to consider quitting your job because you have no way to get to your job.
It's not just the car issue, either. From health care to child care, every aspect of living that requires access to practical resources or services is a hurdle in America. I am a month away from qualifying for my company's health insurance; if I leave now because I don't have a car, I will lose that health insurance. But without a job that supplies benefits, I cannot afford to buy health insurance on my own.
I am relatively lucky in that I do not, anymore, have to face the problem of child care. Those families with small children, however, have to figure out how to find affordable child care so they can take a job and at the same time they must figure out how to pay for that child care with the jobs available to them.
Europeans, by contrast, have developed a social model that identifies those things that are most valuable to the society as a whole and then, as a society, commits to paying for them, so that everyone has access to the tools they need to carry out activities that benefit everyone. And they have been able to do this largely because their financial resources have not been used to pay for huge militaries or constant war.
If Europeans haven't quite built the cooperative commonwealth, what have they built? The EU, writes T.R. Reid, betraying just a hint of patriotic anxiety, already has "a president, a parliament, a constitution, a cabinet, a central bank, a bill of rights, a unified patent office, and a court system with the power to overrule the highest courts of every member nation. It has a 60,000 member army (or 'European Rapid Reaction Force' to be precise) that is independent of NATO or any other outside control. It has its own space agency with 200 satellites in orbit and a project under way to send a European to Mars before Americans get there."
As befits a reporter for the Washington Post, Reid follows the money. Mario Monti is hardly a household name even in London, but as the EU Director General for Competition he scuttled American management idol Jack Welch's biggest deal, a merger between GE (based in Connecticut) and Honeywell (headquarters in New Jersey). Last year Monti slapped Microsoft with a $600 million fine and ordered the firm to rewrite the Windows operating system. Far from the hidebound dirigiste cripple conjured by Mead or Kagan, Reid's "United States of Europe" is an economic superpower fully capable of challenging the USA. Indeed, the euro has already put the dollar in the shade. Reid, who headed Post bureaus in Tokyo and London, really earns his trench coat with his account of the European currency's unexpected triumph (Kissinger was famously dubious; George Will flatly predicted "it will not work").
Europe's other enormous achievement is a half-century of peace on what was once the killing floor of the West. Much of the credit may well be due to the cold war, and a lot of the rest to American aid and protection. Still, the growth of what the Germans call Zivilmacht--harder than Harvard professor Joseph Nye's "soft power," a muscular sense of civil society as a force in world affairs--is one fruit of Europe's long peace. The European social model is the other. Here again it is important to be clear on what that model is not--in a word, socialism. But the breadth of the European consensus, and a sense of how wide the Atlantic has become on these matters, can be seen when Reid quotes the leader of Norway's conservative Christian Democrats: "We have decided that raising a child is real work. And that this work provides value for the whole society. And that the society as a whole should pay for this valuable service. Americans like to talk about family values. We have decided to do more than talk; we use our tax revenues to pay for family values." And Norway isn't even in the EU!
