After spending most of your time in the same house for many years, there comes a time when you will want to transform the look of the house, give it a definitive perspective that will certainly make things easy for you in the long run. Most people love such subtle changes, and one of the areas where you have to pay attention is the flooring in Pittsburgh. It is amazing what a few changes to the floor can do to the entire house. You might not even need to touch the walls as you are planning to remodel the house, as long as you do some good work on the floors. The beauty of flooring is that you can do anything from using carpets to installing tiles or changing the flooring options. The ideas that you can work with are immense, and this is something that you will definitely appreciate when you are working with an expert team.
Irrespective of the options you choose for Pittsburgh flooring, the first thing that you need to consider is the durability of the options you have chosen. This is quite an investment that you will be making, so it would be wise to ensure that you get something that will last as long as possible. Think about the kind of activities that will be carried out on the floor you are working with, and then from there, it will be really easy for you to choose an ideal floor option that is worth your while. In fact, to be on the safe side, consult an expert to help in making the right selection.
Ease of maintenance is another element that you must strongly look into as you try to alter the flooring in Pittsburgh for your house. This will also depend on how much time you have on your hands, especially if the house has a lot of human traffic. If you have pets in the house, your biggest worry should be the kind of flooring option that withstands constant scratching, spills, and cleaning, because there will be a lot of that going on.
How can I choose the right flooring in Pittsburgh?
The right flooring in Pittsburgh is always a relative case. What is perfect for someone else might not necessarily be perfect for you. This is something that a lot of people have, unfortunately, come to learn the hard way. When you want to choose the ideal flooring option, think about what you want. Think about the current state of your floors and what you need to achieve your own style of perfection. If possible, get the help of a flooring expert and you will never have to struggle with the outcome.
Why is it important to get a professional installation service for Pittsburgh flooring?
The need for professional installation for your Pittsburgh flooring is one of those things that you should never take lightly. There are a lot of people who are oblivious to the role of an expert in installing floors. Take for example the offices and business complexes. You will notice that the installation is done so well that you can barely find a problem. That is the kind of outcome that you should look forward to when you are getting an expert for your floors.
What can I do to make sure my flooring in Pittsburgh will last for many years?
Proper care and maintenance. It does not get any easier than that. No matter how good your floors are, they will still need maintenance. This is up to you. Make sure you avoid scratches, wipe away spills as soon as possible, and your flooring in Pittsburgh will stand the test of time.

What about a wooden house with nature surrounding it from all angles? It is a big house that is located on the shores of Lake Kallavesi. It has 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and a big living room where you can relax not believing that you are now living in Finland.
If that’s not where you want to do that then you can do it in the sauna or on the large terrace.

Yep, want one of these, it is called a Pro-Ject 2Xperience The Beatles White Album turntable. This is the new tie up between Pro-Ject and The Beatles to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the White Album release. The turntable takes the iconic design of the eponymous album’s minimalist artwork, transforming the popular high-end 2 Xperience turntable into something truly unique. And the pictures look really enticing.
The turntable is based on the already good looking 2Xperience SB produced by Pro-Ject, that had a heavy acrylic platter to ensure smooth vinyl running. It features class leading components and sound. A special collaboration 2M White moving magnet cartridge by phono pioneer Ortofon guarantees a high class sound experience. The supplied white record clamp securely fixes the LP on the platter and ensures a smoother running vinyl. The 2Xperience The Beatles White Album has a speed regulator to swtch between different vinyl speeds.
On November 9th, 2018, The Beatles will release a suite of lavishly presented ‘White Album’ packages, including 180g DLP Vinyl. These ‘White Album‘ sets also contain never released material and studio outtakes from the original recording sessions, as well as a 5.1 audio Blu-ray disc and a total of six CDs (White Album, Esher Demos, Sessions).
The 2Xperience The Beatles White Album is available worldwide in limited numbers for 1.499€ MSRP. This is near £1,300 in the UK, have a look at the Henley Audio site in November.
I’ll be seeing this in November near the release of the re-imagined 50th Anniversary White Album and reviewing the 2Xperience turntable after that. Can’t wait. Look out for the pics and the review!

Dye or liquid penetrant testing (PT or LPI) is used to inspect parts and weldments for open to surface discontinuities.
A penetrant solution is applied to a clean, bare surface and allowed to dwell for a certain amount of time. This allows the penetrant to be drawn into tiny cracks and other discontinuities that are of interest to the inspector.
PT can be performed using visible or fluorescent dyes, and is available in a wide variety of sensitivity levels.
Liquid dye penetrant testing (LPI) is an excellent method for finding surface breaking discontinuities in non-ferrous welds and materials.

I open the small metal jars containing cumin and cinnamon and the sweet and pungent scents waft towards me, their perfume filling the air around the kitchen. This is definitely Ottolenghi-land. I have been cooking my way through a few of my cookbooks and Ottolenghi’s collection sits at the top of the pile. This one, titled simply Ottolenghi, the cookbook, was much anticipated and did not disappoint. It is full of vegetable centered recipes and flavours from the warm Mediterranean, just my kind of food.
I was looking for something to do with a small, creamy white cauliflower I picked up at the market the other day. I usually roast it or sauté in a little olive oil and spices. Sometimes I dip it in batter and fry as a fritter. It’s made its way into soups with beautiful local blue cheese and creme fraiche or just steamed to crispy perfection and enjoyed with a simple squeeze of lemon. Leafing through Ottolenghi’s the Cookbook I was attracted to these fritters, served with a tangy yogurt-lime sauce. We were having company that evening and cauliflower fritters fitted well into my all vegetarian menu. The guests were close friends and deserved a special treat. I can serve these fritters as an appetizer or as part of dinner alongside the other foods (green salad with a simple vinaigrette, fresh corn scraped off the cob cooked lightly in butter, roasted vegetables tossed with a few colourful pasta shells). We’ll see where it ends up later.
I also liked how easy to make the recipe sounded. Cook the cauliflower and simply mix it in a bowl with the rest of the ingredients and fry in a little oil. I can do that, I don’t like recipes that require a commercial kitchen to prepare and leave me with a sink-full of dishes to wash. Simple is better, in my kitchen.
The recipe for these fritters came from his co-author Sami Tamimi’s mother’s Na’ama’s kitchen. I have cooked a few foods from his books that he attributes to Na’ama. See the Fatoush salad with buttermilk dressing here. I seem to appreciate the authentic, earthy flavours of her foods.
I thought I’d share the recipe with you. It’s Ottolenghi’s recipe and I toned down the amount of spices just a bit to suit my taste. I think it would make a lovely appetizer to serve with drinks on the patio this summer. Next I will try the recipe with other vegetables. I have all kinds of ideas simmering in my head.
Adjust seasoning and refrigerate for an hour to allow flavours to combine.
Cut cauliflower into small florets. You can use the stem parts as well, just cut it into the small dice.
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt and then the cauliflower.
Boil until cauliflower is very tender (you want it to slightly mash with the remaining ingredients).
In a bowl combine the remaining ingredients: flour, parsley, garlic, shallots, eggs, cumin, cinnamon, turmeric, salt and pepper.
Add the warm cooked cauliflower and stir to combine. Press the cauliflower with the wooden spoon to mash it with the rest of the ingredients.You will have a batter like mixture.
Heat up the oil in a skillet. Don’t cook this on too high heat though, medium “sizzle” heat worked better for me.
Using a small ice cream scoop (or larger one if you want larger fritters) scoop the batter into the hot oil. I cooked them 4 at a time.
When the underside is golden turn the fritters over with a spatula and cook the other side.
Serve warm with the yogurt-lime sauce, garnished with additional parsley or cilantro.
Hi Dina, great recipe! Just wanted to let you know that it’s the 15th word under fritters that is the spelling mistake. I know you mean cut! Tara.
OMG Tara, thanks for letting me know. Ahh. I was just reading an article about proofreading your own posts, which is what we bloggers usually do, and they suggested reading it out aloud, apparently you catch more things that way.Will definitely try that. Thanks again for bringing it to my attention. Ciao.
Thanks Brianne, not sure I found the right one it but I corrected something.
Yummi! I will try them for Friday nite dinner.
You are a cook after my own heart. No sink full of dishes.
Hi Anne, I hope you enjoy. If you like them call me. If not, call Ottolenghi:).

Israeli political and military leaders mention the tunnel threat nearly every time they speak, and have gained widespread international support for eliminating them. The military in recent days has distributed photographs of tunnels that troops uncovered, and videos of them placing explosives inside and blowing some up. As part of the propaganda push, the military has also invited a few journalists underground for a tour.
My Webster's Second unabridged has as a definition of propaganda, "any systematic, widespread, deliberate indoctrination or plan for such indoctrination: now often used in a derogatory sense, connoting deception or distortion."
That "derogatory sense" and connotation of deception and distortion make "propaganda" the wrong word to use in this spot of the article. The word Israelis use for this sort of thing, and the word the reporter was probably looking for, is "hasbara," or "explanation." It's not as if Israel dug the tunnels as a deception, falsely to portray Hamas as terrorists. It may be public relations to highlight the tunnels, but propaganda isn't the right word.
The word also cropped up in cutlines for another front-page Jodi Rudoren article, which referred to "an anti-Palestinian propaganda video uploaded by the Israel Defense Forces," and also to "an anti-Israel propaganda video by Hamas."

roundup The chat is all chips at this week's Microprocessor Forum, though Sun says the chip as we know it is headed for extinction. Also: Transmeta shows off a retake on its low-power processor, and Intel sets its sights on cell phones.
Microprocessors as known today will become extinct by the end of the decade, to be replaced by computers built onto a single chip, Sun Microsystems' CTO says.
Big Blue reveals more details about the upcoming chip's features, including technology designed to reduce electricity consumption without a loss of performance.
The Taiwanese chipmaker takes the wraps off its upcoming Eden-N chip and its Nano-ITX motherboard, which take up less space than rivals and so promise to help shrink notebooks.
The chipmaker unveils the technical details about a completely revamped processor it says will provide better performance than that of its predecessors.
The company is coming out with a new chip package that will let cell phone makers put far more memory into handsets, a key ingredient for transforming phones into miniature computers.

Once upon a time, Detroit was the Promised Land for African Americans. You could get on the train in Huntsville or Macon bound for Detroit and a year later have a new car, a new house, and a new life, all from working in the auto factories. Courtney Brown and Eddie Jackson grew up in this milieu, spending their childhoods in the city’s Paradise Valley and Black Bottom neighborhoods, at the time one of America’s most thriving Black business and entertainment districts and home to the likes of Joe Louis and Diana Ross. But as they came to adulthood, Detroit’s economy was crumbling-capped off by the 1967 riot that sped up the white flight and dis-investment that fueled the city’s rapid decline.
As Eddie Jackson and Courtney Brown became adults and started families of their own, they found a new opportunity to replace Detroit’s dying car economy. Heroin.
“Motown Mafia” is the story of 2 families and how they rose from Detroit’s old Black Bottom and Paradise Valley neighborhoods to the top of the city’s drug world.

On January 4, translator-scholar Mohamed Mohamed Enani turned eighty years old. Enani has won all three Egyptian State Awards for Literature, as well as ALESCO’s Award for Translation in 2013 and the Egyptian National Council for Translation Award in 2014.
From the event celebrating Enani.
M.M. Enani is not only a dramatist and poet, an accomplished literary translator, and a critic. He is also a great professor of English language and literature who has taught several generations of the graduates and supervised tens of theses in his long career. Enani’s best-known translational achievements are bringing twenty six of Shakespeare’s dramatic texts into rhymed Arabic, his translation of John Milton’s Paradise Lost, of Shakespeare’s sonnets, and Byron, Shelly, and Tennyson. This is not to mention other prose plays, critical works, and philosophical books he’s translated into distinguished prose.
Enani’s particular theory of literary translation highlights the translators’ realization of the source text’s “perlocutionary effect,” and the attempt to cause the same effect in translation. For this, a translator needs to adjust the target text to the acceptable norms of the target culture, depending on the usual linguistic collocations, traditional imagery, and — when it comes to translating poetry — deeply ingrained meter and rhyme. To Enani, a poem cannot be translated into prose, because it loses its “poetic meaning.” The “poetic meaning”, for Enani, is more than the theme or the ideas in a poem; it is the particular meter used, the internal music, the imagery and the place of a certain poem among the poetic tradition of its country.
For Enani, all these intricate elements should be taken into consideration when the poem is translated; the main objective of the translator, thus, is to attempt to create the same effect of the writer. For this, important concepts like fidelity are seen in different light; fidelity means being close to the effect of the source text rather than its literal words. A faithful translator, thus, is basically a perceptive reader and critic, as well as a faithful writer who has absorbed the literary tradition of his country. A translation here becomes a continuous project of “rewriting” that goes hand in hand with the original project of the author.
What is less-well-known about Enani is his literary translations into English. He translated Salah Abulsabour, Salah Jaheen, Farooq Guwaidah, Farooq Shooshah, Mona Ragab, and others from Arabic to English for the series of contemporary Arabic literature in translation issued by the General Egyptian Books Organization (GEBO). That important series had a great start in 1986 and lasted for a few years, was resumed in the nineties, again at the turn of the new century, and all over again these days.
Forthcoming is Enani’s translation of Taha Hussien’s The Shaikh’s Proposal, with a new introduction. Also soon to be reissued is Naguib Mahfouz 1988 Nobel: a Collection of Critical Essays, edited by Enani with an updated bibliography that contains a look at what’s been written on him, both in Arabic and English.
Enani, who is becoming increasingly productive, is finishing a translation of Yusuf al-Qaed’s Days of Mourning, with a long introduction on narrative writing, with the belief that a translator should use their spectacular skills to enrich the cultural field with commentaries, critiques, and introductions. Throughout his career, Enani has written as a translator, and Arabic translators have been nourished by half a dozen books on translation that contain priceless practical experience and solutions for particular problems.
Oh, you‘ve come back at last, my lost voice!
For long have wandered in deserts of silence!
Shy as a child, delicate as a virgin?
Into the cold and dreary chambers of my heart.
A marked place, a reception hall?
At break of day and at nightfall.
Of another beauty- another, anonymous!
The meaning and content of form.
Too late it is for a soul to learn a lesson.
More details about Enani’s scholarly books/ translations and creative writings can be found in his Wikipedia page, and more on M.M.Enani’s translational theories at Slideshare.
Mona Elnamoury is a writer, scholar, and long-time contributor to ArabLit.

Note: A publishing glitch held up last week’s newsletter until Monday, July 17. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I surely ate well last week, considering I didn’t cook a shred of food. Nothing. Nada. Some of the blame goes to my shoulder (I tore the rotator cuff in a fall and now need a shoulder replacement). But mostly, I couldn’t resist all the barbecue, hot chicken, biscuits and Coney dogs flung in my path.
Tony thinks we went to Asheville, N.C. to see the Smoky Mountains and drive the Blue Ridge Parkway. The real reason, of course, was the food. With the exception of New Orleans, North Carolina is probably my favorite food region in the United States. Western North Carolina, where we went, is even better than my usual haunts along the coast because a bit of Tennessee cuisine bleeds across the border, giving us the best of two states. Yes, I’m talking about hot chicken.
We couldn’t believe our luck when we spotted Rocky’s Hot Chicken Shack just a couple of miles from our campground on the western edge of Asheville. Tony made a U-turn, parked, and we queued up at the ordering window. Yup, this is the stuff, we agreed as a tray of meals sailed past. The cayenne-red fried chicken was crunchy-crisp, spicy hot and faintly honey-sweet. I think it was even better than the hot chicken we had in Memphis a couple of years ago. It was so good we ate there twice in five days. The biscuits were world-class, too.
We would have eaten at Rocky’s more often but we had barbecue to find and hush puppies to snarf down. We did both at Hawg Wild Bar-B-Que in Pisgah Forest, N.C. We had to really hunt for a good barbecue place. Barbecue doesn’t seem to be as plentiful in the western part of the state as in the east. Also, restaurants make a big deal of the difference between the regional styles. All of the good stuff is whole-hog, naturally, but western style comes with ketchup-based sauce while eastern style has vinegar-based sauce. Hawg Wild’s barbecue was so smoky and juicy I couldn’t see covering up the flavor with red sauce. I had eastern style along with creamy coleslaw and a clutch of hush puppies.
I ate hush puppies everywhere I could, from the Hot Dog King (great Coney dogs packed with relish) to the barbecue place. I love those little cornbread nuggets, especially when they are laced with jalapeños as they were at the Hot Dog King.
The one place I didn’t get hush puppies and didn’t miss them was Rhubarb, an upscale Asheville restaurant helmed by chef John Fleer, a multiple James Beard nominee for best chef in the Southeast. Fleer executes his modern Southern menu perfectly, and I don’t say that lightly.It was the best meal I’ve had in a very long time.
Six components, all stellar, went into my entree of duck confit over Swiss chard. Tucked under the two duck legs and thigh was also a palm-sized sweet potatoes Anna (thin sliced, formed into a cake) infused with so much umami flavor it had to have been roasted in duck fat. Scattered over everything was “wet” walnuts that tasted of Bourbon but somehow remained crisp, and tiny sprinkles of sweet marinated garlic. A wide swath of rhubarb sauce streaked one side of the plate.
Most diners the evening we visited chose to sit outside on the covered patio overlooking Pack Square. I’m glad Tony and I opted for the dining room, a high-ceilinged space that looked like a rubber shop mid-rehab. The plaster walls were gouged and spotted with bits of old paint. Big industrial-looking lights dangled from the ceiling. We sat near the open kitchen, with a good view of the two brick ovens.
I’m sorry I couldn’t get Fleer’s recipe for sweet potatoes Anna, but you can bet I’ll be working on it here at home. Meanwhile, here’s a recipe for jalapeño hush puppies, humble but just as Southern and almost as delicious.
Combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt and onion in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs and vinegar. With a wooden spoon, stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until combined. Stir in the jalapeños. Do not over mix.
Heat at least 2 inches of oil to 375 degrees in a wide, deep pot or deep fryer. Drop tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil. Do not crowd. Fry for about 5 minutes or until golden brown. Break open the first couple of hush puppies to check for doneness.
Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels. Salt if desired. Continue until all of the batter has been used. Makes about 6 to 8 servings.
At Graf Growers on White Pond Drive in Akron, “local” this year will actually be a farm about 45 minutes south of Akron, according to Karlie Graf, marketing manager. Graf’s fields were too wet for planting this spring, so the Grafs contracted with another farm to grow corn using Graf seeds and techniques, such as hydrocooling the picked corn. Daily shipments should begin July 18, Karlie says.
Wherever you buy your corn, call first to avoid a disappointment.
What I ate in restaurants last week: Southwest avocado-tortilla-lime salad at Panera; cheeseburger Happy Meal at McDonald’s; oysters with country ham and cornbread stuffing, confit of duck with rhubarb sauce at Rhubarb in Asheville, N.C.; hot chicken thigh, collard greens, biscuit, corn pudding at Rocky’s Hot Chicken Shack in Asheville, N.C.; Coney dog with relish, hush puppies at the Hot Dog King in Candler, N.C.; country ham sandwich and sliced tomatoes at Genny’s Family Restaurant in Chimney Rock, N.C.; more hot chicken; and chopped pork barbecue, coleslaw and hush puppies at Hawg Wild Bar-B-Que in Pisgah Forest, N.C.
Did you know Joe’s Home Cooking at its Finest — new location on Cleveland Avenue near Route 618 and Beiler’s Market in Uniontown— is back and open again? Great food and prices with larger eating area and lots of parking at the new location.
Dear Kathy: Thanks. I know a lot of people liked that place. I finally get to give it a try.
Rim glasses with lime juice, coarse salt and chili powder (ancho is nice). In a blender mix 2 cups ice, 4 ounces tequila, 2 ounces orange liqueur, 1 ounce lime juice, 3 sprigs of cilantro (optional), 1 avocado, diced, and 2 tsp. agave nectar (although I prefer 1 tablespoon honey). Blend until smooth. Pour into glasses and garnish with lime wedges.
Re: slugs on basil — To get rid of your slugs, save your egg shells and after drying out for at least 2 hours, crush them and spread them around the plants the slugs are eating. It is organic and I know it works. We had hostas that were being eaten by slugs and after putting crushed egg shells around the plants the eating stopped!
Dear Diane: Thanks for sharing. Sounds easy and convenient.
Re: smoked salmon hash — When my friends Don and Linda Murfin were officers of the Akron City Club in the early 1990s, a chef there created “Murfin Hash” for them. I use a lightly poached egg per serving as the liaison rather than the Boursin-based cream sauce created by the chef, but I love the chef’s innovation of chopped fennel bulb and beets (triple rinsed; added just before serving) to the familiar mixture of cubed browned potatoes with onion and similar sized pieces of smoked salmon.
Dear Mark: Aha! A fine use for the beets growing in my garden. Thanks.
I saw that you had eaten smoked salmon hash last weekend. I have an easy cheat to make it at home: I use Ore Ida potatoes O’Brien which already includes the chopped peppers and onion You can add more veggies or some dill if you wish. Brown the potatoes in butter. Stir in a bit of half and half to add just a bit of richness. Then flake in 4 to 6 ounces of smoked salmon. Leave it in small pieces, not shreds. This can be topped with a runny sunny-side-up egg for extra richness. I serve this with a homemade horseradish sauce that I use lots of horseradish in.
A easy cheat for salmon chowder is to use the baked potato soup from Sam’s Club or Costco. I brown some extra onion in butter, add smoked salmon for just a couple of minutes, then stir it all into the warmed soup, Lovely with a salad on on a cold winter night.
I know you are a from-scratch cook but once in a while it is nice to simply have things on hand that go together quickly on busy days.
Dear Jan: I don’t mind cheating with good-quality ingredients and recipes that make sense. Thanks for the good ideas.

In the backdrop of reports of threats issued to Kashmiris based out of Jammu and Kashmir following the Pulwama terror attack, a Srinagar-based CRPF helpline on Saturday asked them to approach it in case they face any harassment.
The 'Madadgaar' helpline posted a tweet in this context stating that Kashmiri students and the general public who are presently out of the state can contact it over the Twitter handle '@CRPFmadadgaar'.
They can call on 24x7 toll-free number 14411 or send an SMS at mobile no: 7082814411 "for speedy assistance in case they face any difficulties or harassment".
A senior official said the force will undertake immediate steps in case the helpline receives a distress call by a Kashmir-based person and will alert and depute the officials from its nearest located base to address the issue.
The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) is the country's largest paramilitary force with over three lakh personnel in its ranks and it has its formations and battalions in maximum states of the country, he said.
"While we have lost our comrades, it is our pledge to the people of Jammu and Kashmir, especially to those living in the Kashmir Valley, that we are with them always," he said.
The Centre on Saturday also asked all states to ensure safety and security of the students and people from Jammu and Kashmir living in their areas.
The advisory came hours after Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh assured an all-party meeting of doing the needful for the protection of the Kashmiri students and people who were allegedly threatened after the terrorist attack in Awantipora area of Pulwama district.
An official at the security establishment said there have been some reports of students and other residents of Jammu and Kashmir experiencing threats and intimidation.
"Therefore, the Home Ministry today issued an advisory to all states/UTs to take necessary measures to ensure their safety and security," the official said.
Some Kashmiri youths studying in Uttarakhand's Dehradun alleged that they were harassed and have been asked by their landlords to vacate accommodations fearing attacks on their properties in the aftermath of the attack.
The CRPF, that is deployed for security duties in Jammu and Kashmir, had launched the 24×7 helpline Madadgaar (14411) in June 2017 to help any Valley resident who is in distress.

When it comes to choosing from Silk, Faux Mink (usually just referred to as mink) and Synthetic lashes it is important to bear in mind that these essentially are all just different names for the same product.

Our residence enchancment loans may help you unfold the price of home repairs but acquire the advantages right away. To be included within the calculations, Notes must be related to a borrower loan originated greater than 10 months in the past; this calculation uses loans originated by way of Could 31, 2012. However, as with every bank card, you could be tempted into overspending, and utilizing too much of your accessible credit score can damage your credit scores.
I started researching how younger couples can discover house enchancment loans with no equity. AS far as being the most effective dwelling improvement loans, I might say probably not, however that is simply my opinion. These personal loans are unsecured, that means no dwelling fairness or different collateral is required to get a mortgage.
Whether or not you are searching for THE ‘We won’t stack the containers any increased’ MORTGAGE, or THE ‘we need to convert the storage’ HOUSE IMPROVEMENT MORTGAGE, come and talk to your local credit score union. For small residence improvement loans, that is often neither price efficient nor time efficient. The maximum amount for a property enchancment loan for the alteration, restore or enchancment of a Manufactured (Cell) Dwelling that qualifies as actual property is $25,090 and the maximum time period is 15 years.
What Are Your Greatest Options?
Whether you need to transform your kitchen, change your roof, add another room, or just refurnish your house, home enchancment loans via Prosper might help. Moreover, many homeowners who would have been eligible for a home fairness mortgage to finance larger projects a number of years in the past no longer are: property values have plummeted, and banks have tightened their home improvement mortgage restrictions.
A line of credit can help owners keep away from borrowing more than they need to by letting them entry money solely as they want it. But for homeowners who don’t rigorously track their borrowing, a line of credit could make it straightforward to borrow greater than intended.
Residence fairness traces of credit (HELOCs) let you borrow a larger sum of money utilizing the fairness in your house. Many small draws on the credit score line over time can add as much as a large total amount borrowed. Another trace is to recollect when applying for unfavorable credit ratings a detailed plan for the development of dwelling to be prepared; plan should include all prices calculated and anticipated improvements and changes that you wish to run.
Additionally in the event you need extra info and ideas for searching earlier than dwelling enchancment or very bad credit loans, see our on-line directory permits you to explore several types of loans and download free web site report, described in the takes of the loans.
Giving your own home a lick of paint couldn’t be easier with our made to measure home improvement mortgage. If you don’t presently have equity constructed up in your home, a home enchancment mortgage can provde the financing you must move ahead with desired improvements. With loans from £1,000 – £25,000 a Nationwide Personal Loan could be suitable for extra than simply larger residence improvement projects.
The compensation period for a conventional house enchancment mortgage, personal loan or line of credit is usually shorter than the reimbursement interval for a home equity loan or line of credit. Nevertheless, secured loans are a good choice for anybody planning a giant mission as they can be utilized to borrow up to £a hundred,000 – depending on how much out there equity you may have in your house.

Have recently checked my credit file I have a default from British gas for £69 recorded at old address on 06/06/2015. I moved out of that address in September 2012! British gas were claiming at the time £69 disconnection fee for moving house so I paid them for energy usage and left it at that. Surely they default should of been recorded with in 6 months as 3 years is very wrong. If it was recorded correctly it would of or very soon drop off. I have gone through the complaints procedure with British gas and they claim the default is recorded correctly but they do not have any paperwork as they changed computer systems. I am awaiting the deadlock letter to progress this to the obudsmun. What are my chances with obudsmun?
My home was repossessed following a relationship breakdown in 2008 by Birmingham Midshires. I was contacted in 2009, 2010, 2012 and 2013 by BM debt collectors chasing the shortfall and each time I did not acknowledge the debt but i did request clarification on how the shortfall came about in a letter from a solicitor I received in 2010. In all my correspondence I highlighted I was not acknowledging the debt to BM or to their representatives. Two weeks ago I received a letter out of the blue from Moorcroft chasing the same debt again and then the weekend just gone I got a chaser letter from them again threatening further action. I do not know where I stand now with this as BM or their representatives have not contacted me for over 6 years and I have lived at the same address this entire time only recently moving house. ir Do I contact them not acknowledging the debt and requesting further info on how the figure was arrived at? Or have they lost there chance to chase this debt as its been over 6 years since they last contacted me? Help!
I am sorry if this isn't supposed to be in here but I just want to get a few ideas and thoughts on this. I lived in central London 2010/2011 and took lending stream loans out (as far as they are concerned as I can't remember not paying them back).. ..fast forward to 2018 (I moved in 2012 and then again 2016), PRA Group contacted me about a loan (£80 - which isn't the sum but the principle that bothers me). I called PRA group and launched an investigation and complaint and then called lending stream doing the same, disputing the debt as 1) I had not heard from them via email or phone and they confirmed they still had both on file 2) I do not believe these are my debts however in case they would be (it's such a long time ago), I'm disputing that they never gotten in touch with me sooner as they said they sold it to debt collectors in 2013, so why not get in touch with me for 2 years? I asked them for proof to show me they emailed or called me trying to get this debt back. However, what is my next step and how likely is this going to be that they'll keep chasing me? My point was that if they called me in 2011/2012 I would have just paid it, no one likes debts so why would I run from it, now I don't think this is mine and it's not an insane amount but the principle is that it's crazy and 7 years ago... Thanks for all the help!

Today, we add powerful computers to the mix for storing increasing amounts of data and running sophisticated software algorithms producing the fast insights needed to make fact-based decisions. By putting the science of numbers, data and analytical discovery to work, we can find out if what we think or believe is really true. And produce answers to questions we never thought to ask. That's the power of analytics.
From the first known population data collection project by the Swedish government in 1749, to Florence Nightingale recording and analyzing mortality data in the 1850s, to British scholar Richard Doll's tobacco and lung cancer study in the 1950s, the analysis of data has fueled knowledge discovery for hundreds of years.
With faster and more powerful computers, opportunity abounds for the use of analytics and big data. Whether it's determining credit risk, developing new medicines, finding more efficient ways to deliver products and services, preventing fraud, uncovering cyberthreats or retaining the most valuable customers, analytics can help you understand your organization and the world around it.

Another year, come and gone.
It’s funny because as a blogger, I mark so much of my success with time. Visitors per month, income per month, recurring annual posts like my 40 Before 40 series and my favorite meals or photos of the year.
Yet each December I feel somewhat unpleasantly surprised when one year winds down and another comes barreling along.
For the past two years, I’ve joined my friend Malia from Shoyu Sugar in choosing a ‘word of the year’ or mantra to guide my efforts and intentions. In 2016, my word was ‘minimize,’ and in 2017, I chose the word ‘muse.’ While each year, my yearly mantra hasn’t exactly taken the form I’d expect, it’s been an interesting hallmark of the year.
For example, in 2017, I thought muse would guide my creative efforts and endeavors; in reality, I learned to surrender to creative curiosity and accept more structured projects (like my job) when they presented themselves to me. Sometimes, I was in control of the muse, and sometimes she exerted more control me.
Continue writing on this blog and sharing stories from around the world.
Finish writing a book I started writing in September.
Continue freelance writing and publishing with travel magazines and sites.
Embrace my new role as managing editor at Go Overseas, and cultivate a culture that encourages my writers to do their best work.
Some of these projects came to fruition; some stepped out of my spotlight; others not on this list became much bigger priorities than I expected.
I definitely did a lot of blogging here, and on my website, Space Tourism Guide. I did not finish writing my blog, and I was much less active in freelance writing. While in January 2017, my role as Managing Editor was a contract, part-time, remote role, in January 2018, I am full-time in-office employee for Go Overseas.
In short, both definitions of muse came true: “the source of inspiration for a creative artist” and “be absorbed in thought.” I thought and worked and was inspired. In its way, muse was the right word for 2017.
As you can see, my thoughts have turned toward health and wellness and my relationships. While I’m doing great at work, life isn’t just about work. I want to practice better wellness (I am in my 30s, after all!), and I want to be stronger, both physically and emotionally. I want to take better care of myself and the people I care about – and my relationships with them. Each of these words, like contenders from other years, was right in some ways – but not all ways.
In the end, one word stood out to me over and over. It came up as I thought about self-care. And my relationships. And my work.
In many ways, I need more balance in my life. I work a lot, but I also want to balance my full-time work and responsibilities with my personal passion projects. I want to balance personal time, work time, time with friends, and time with Mr. Valise. I want to work on my health and wellness, and balance that with the permission to indulge from time to time.
I’m sorta hoping, as in years past, that the word I choose will as much guide me as shape me and my life in 2018.
I predict I’ll get better at setting a semi-consistent schedule for work and non-work time.
I want to balance work and time which is truly not work (something I’m not good at!).
I’ll get way better at standing poses in yoga, and possibly add a few inverted poses to my repertoire.
I will balance more doing and measuring the impact of what I’m doing. In most projects, I have a tendency to get caught up in the data and not do any work.
I’ll work on better balancing my health, particularly focusing on getting better hydrated each day.
So that’s it from me. What are your resolutions or mantras for the new year?
I started coming up with two words for the year a couple of yours ago as part of therapy. My words for 2017 was Faith and Acceptance. Which I think I did. For 2018 I’m leaning towards commit and focus. The prior words wore more personal. I want to be more committed and focused on the blog and writing.
I love all of your words, and I’m so glad choosing a word is helpful for you too! Commit and focus sound like great choices for 2018.
Happy New Year, Valerie! Balance is SUCH a good word for 2018. Are you using any tools to help you achieve that balance?
I think my goal/word/mantra for 2018 is “share” – can you believe that I am STILL paralyzed by lack of confidence when it comes to sharing and (ick) self-promotion? I hope I can finally get over that wall this year! You’re so good at it. I need to look to you for inspiration.
As for me and balance, I don't have any tools, but that's a good idea to look into some!
Happy New year friend! this is SUCH a great word for the year ( and def one im looking to do as well ) ! thanks so much for sharing and being so personal on your blog!
Balance – such a great mantra for 2018! It’s so important yet so hard to achieve! I hope you get to achieve your balance!
Thanks, Belle! Hope your 2018 is off to a great start!
Such a great mantra!! It’s definitely something that I would also like to focus on in 2018.
Right? It’s always a good reminder, any year!
I like how the word balance plays into so many aspects of your life. I chose believe this year for many reasons!
I think that’s how the best mantras work – they work for many areas of life!
I actually thought about having Balance as my word for 2018. In the end though I chose abundance, I want to recognize the good that I have around me as well as fill my life and home with things and relationships that fill me up!
Abundance is a wonderful word too! I hope the year brings you abundance in many ways!
That is such a nice idea, never thought of it.
I think balance is quite difficult to get. Of course it’s not impossible, but it takes a lot of work and practice.
I love the idea of balance. It has so many meanings. Great post, by the way!
Balance is such a great word and something I think everyone struggles with, so I love that you’ll spend a whole year focusing on it!
I hope I can do so — it’s a challenge to build the good habits!

For August 27: when did the UN ask to visit the site at Ghouta?
While the delay from Wednesday to Sunday (or Monday, when the team got out and said, if this YouTube video is not false, that they are not even looking at what type of munition was used in part because they didn't want to put it in their white UN 4 by 4) is now an element in the case for missile strikes, Syria says the UN didn't even ASK until Saturday.
Is that true? Even if the UK, for example, asked earlier, it is a UN team. So when did the UN make the request?
Saturday August 24 is when UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon's High Representative on Disarmament Angela Kane re-arrived in Damascus.

Boys always like to see girls kiss. I don't get it; girls don't want to see boys kiss.
When you lose, you're more motivated. When you win, you fail to see your mistakes and probably no one can tell you anything.
The way you remember the past depends upon your hope for the future. And if what you see in your future has no hope, it has no potential, then you view the past that brought you to here as not very good.
Anger becomes limiting, restricting. You can't see through it. While anger is there, look at that, too. But after a while, you have to look at something else.
Whoever looks at America will see: the ship is powered by stupidity, corruption, or prejudice.
You see, my ambition was not to confound the engineering world but simply to create a beautiful piece of art.
I can't for the life of me see that by being permissive you actually assist anyone.
If you can get a teen leader in each sector of a student population, you can pull people in. Everybody wants to get involved, but most are too afraid. When they see a person they think is cool leading it, they're first to join.
However, I must say that I am very happy to see that we have such a positive result for our first referendum in our history and that gives me more confidence in Taiwan's democracy.
Jerry and I always felt that the character was enjoying himself. He was having fun: he wasn't taking himself seriously. It was always a lark for him, as you can see in my early drawings.

So where does YMIDoingThis come from anyway? Here’s the story, back in 2008 I go the itch to start a website, I was going to make millions…. didn’t happen. I didn’t know what I wanted to do or even have a name, so my wife came up with this one. I liked it, but still didn’t know what to do with it so it became a random testing ground for a bunch of different ideas. With my busy schedule with work, school and family nothing ever really happened back then, but I kept the domain just in case.
Fast forward to today. This year I hope to have a little more success with some of my online ventures and I want to keep track of my progress and share with anyone who is interested. I’ve got a lot on my plate, considering I’m going to try and hit this hard, but only on a part time basis. I’ve still got a day job after all.
One of the things I’ve found really helpful over the years are the success stories of others. I like to see what they are doing and of course how much they are making. I’ve found there are a number of sites online that will share their online income reports with their communities. Seeing how much they are making shows me the possibilities, but the real value is when they explain how they are doing what they are doing. I’ll be looking for sites like those to share with you too. They are a great resource.
In order to track my own progress here, I’ll share some of the projects and goals I’m working on with you too. It’ll be interesting to see if sharing helps me be more accountable and stay focused. Who knows, but I’ll give it a try. These things do take time though and with a busy schedule it will be hard to keep up. I have a few things going right now. I’m working on an affiliate site with a business partner of mine (just barely starting to earn), I’ve started selling on Amazon (this has been a fun one) and need to grow that business, I have a couple of other ideas in the works too along with keeping up with this site.
So Why aM I Doing This? A couple of reasons. I want to get out of debt. It’s such a strain that no one needs. A second reason, I don’t want to always feel tied to a job. I don’t mind having one, but I want to work because I want to, not because I have to. Getting out of debt will play a major role in getting to the “want to” state of mind. With that I’ll be sharing things I’m doing to reduce my debts and maybe even share my progress as I pay it down. As I go through this process of learning to earn and paying off the debt I hope I can add some valuable insights or ideas for others to use too. At least enough to get you thinking and start doing something.

Across the world, the unprecedented successful rescue operation of the 33 miners trapped 700m underground in San Jose mine in Chile prompted intense international attention from a global audience. After 69 days underground, including two weeks during which they were feared dead, the men emerged to the cheers of exuberant Chileans and before the eyes of the world.
The Cementation Group, through its global footprint and capability was able to participate in the rescue operation and fly the flag high for Murray & Roberts and South Africa.
Murray & Roberts has a controlling shareholding in two mining contracting companies in Chile; Terracem, which is a specialist raise drilling company, and the recently established Cementation Sudamerica, which is focused on major vertical shaft and underground mine infrastructure work. Its partner in Chile is a local company, Terraservice.
The miners were trapped since 05 August 2010, after the main access tunnel to the mine collapsed.
On Sunday, 22 August 2010, communication was established with the miners when a Terraservice drill reached their underground refuge chamber. The miners attached a written message to the drill pipe confirming that they were all alive and well.
One of Murray & Roberts’ large diameter raise drilling machines, the Strata 950, was used by Terracem in the rescue operation. Rotary Vertical Drilling System (RVDS) technology, co-developed by Murray & Roberts, was applied to accurately drill a pilot hole to reach the trapped miners. The Strata 950 had just completed a shaft for Codelco’s Andina Mine and was quickly transferred to the San Jose Mine where drilling commenced immediately.
The miner’s rescue was planned via the ‘Plan B’ hole, independent of the Murray & Roberts’ hole. 'Plan B' drill broke through to the miners on Saturday, 9 October 2010 and the rescue was started at approximately 04:15 on 13 October 2010, with the first miner surfacing just after 05:00 that day (South African time).
All 33 miners were successfully brought to the surface early on the morning of 14 October 2010 and reunited with the families.
The Chilean government managed the rescue and drilling process exceptionally well and Murray & Roberts are proud to have assisted the Chilean government through this process.
This is a wonderful achievement for South Africa, Murray & Roberts and specifically the Cementation Group. We are privileged to have been a partner in this global rescue process.

When 24 burst onto our TV screens in 2001 it was pretty revolutionary; the show's concept of events unfolding over 24 hour-long episodes in 'real time' was the first of its kind, and it was even the first TV show to lack any real theme tune, beginning a trend that has since been copied by Lost, Heroes and several other long-format series.
More than that though, it also brought us Jack Bauer. Played throughout by Kiefer Sutherland, Bauer is the archetypal maverick; a total badass who isn't afraid to break the rules to ensure that the various enemies of the state he faces are brought to justice. Or violently killed, which is usually the outcome whenever Bauer is involved.
After eight seasons of the show however, audiences were beginning to dwindle and it seemed people were getting a little tired of the formula. Instead, new shows like Mad Men had arrived, with new, very different anti-heroes like Don Draper. When FOX finally called time on the show in 2010, it looked as though 24 was over for good.
The new series of course sees the return of Sutherland as Jack Bauer, alongside some other familiar faces such as Mary Lyn Rajskub, who returns as analyst-turned-hacker Chloe, as well as Kim Raver, who reprises her role as Audrey, and William Devane, who returns in his role as Audrey's father, James Heller.
James Heller has been elected President of the United States and is on a visit to London hoping to secure support from the UK government in order to use R.A.F. air bases as a launching point for their controversial drones. Meanwhile, Jack has been on the run for two years fearing he will be extradited to Russia by the U.S. government for his role in the death of two Russian diplomats.
When he suddenly reemerges in London at the same time as the President's visit, Heller's chief of staff Mark Boudreau – who also happens to be Audrey's new husband – suspects that Bauer may be out to assassinate the President as revenge for his expulsion from the C.I.A.
The truth is far more disturbing; Bauer is in fact there to protect Heller from a terrorist attack he believes is about to be carried out on U.K. soil and finds himself in a race to find the perpetrator before he is arrested and charged himself.
Strahovski and Wincott in particular are excellent additions to the cast and, as ever with 24, the plot has enough twists, turns and near-misses to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. It may have been four years since we last had a new episode, but the new setting and some clever plot links to previous series thankfully mean that it was well worth the wait.

Washington, D.C., native Taraji P. Henson didn't always know that her smoldering charisma and beautiful face would make her a professional actress. On the contrary, she originally studied electrical engineering when she enrolled at North Carolina Agric & Tech. She later transferred to Howard University, where she attended classes while working as a secretary at the Pentagon, and as a singer and dancer aboard a cruise ship. She eventually changed her academic focus to theater and graduated in 1995. Henson's career began with appearances on Homicide: Life on the Street and ER, but it really took off when she was cast in a major supporting role in 2001's Baby Boy and 2004's Hustle & Flow, in which she also showcased her vocal talents, singing on the track "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" for the movie's soundtrack, which took home the Best Song Oscar that year. Henson later moved on to take major roles in Smokin' Aces and Talk to Me. Henson made the most of her work as the mother of the backward-aging man in David Fincher's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and her performance garnered Best Supporting Actress nominations from both the Screen Actors Guild, and the Academy. She became an in-demand character actress after that success and appeared in a series of films including Tyler Perry's The Family That Preys, the remake of The Karate Kid, Date Night, and Larry Crowne. In 2012, she was part of the ensemble in the hit comedy Think Like a Man, and later reprised her role in the sequel, Think Like a Man Too. Henson returned to television on the CBS crime drama Person of Interest, playing an NYPD detective. Her character was dramatically killed off in the third season, with Henson claiming she wanted to focus on her film career. However, she quickly took a role on the FOX musical drama Empire, playing breakout character Cookie Lyon.

§ 129-4 Appointment of hearing officers.
§ 129-5 Notice of violation.
§ 129-6 Admission of liability.
§ 129-8 Attendance at hearing.
§ 129-9 Notice of assessment and judgment.
Zoning violations — See Ch. 189.
This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the "Hearing Procedure for Citations Ordinance."
This chapter is enacted pursuant to the provisions of Sections 7-148(c)(10)(A) and 7-152c of the Connecticut General Statutes, as such sections may be amended from time to time.
This chapter is designed to set a hearing procedure for the enforcement of fines, penalties, costs and fees for citations issued for violations of Town ordinances.
The Town Manager shall appoint one or more persons who are electors of the Town to serve as citation hearing officers to conduct hearings concerning the violation of Town ordinances. No police officer or any Town employee or person authorized to issue citations for the violation of any Town ordinance shall be permitted to serve as a citation hearing officer.
That such judgment may issue without further notice.
If a cited person who is sent notice pursuant to § 129-5, above wishes to admit liability for an alleged violation, the cited person may, without requesting a hearing, pay the full amount of the fines, penalties, costs or fees in person or by mail to the Collector of Revenue at the address specified in the notice. Such payment shall be inadmissible in any proceeding, civil or criminal, to establish the conduct of the cited person or other person making the payment. Any cited person who does not deliver or mail written demand for a hearing with 10 days of the date of the notice provided for in § 129-5 above shall be deemed to have admitted liability and the Town Manager shall certify the cited person's failure to respond to the hearing officer. The hearing officer shall thereupon enter and assess the fines, penalties, costs or fees provided for by the applicable ordinance and shall follow the procedures set forth in § 129-7 below.
Any cited person who requests a hearing shall be given written notice of the date, time and place for the hearing. The hearing shall be held not less than 15 days, nor more than 30 days from the date of the mailing of the notice, provided the hearing officer shall grant, upon good cause shown, any reasonable request by any interested party for postponement or continuance. An original or certified copy of the initial notice of violation issued by the issuing municipal officer or employee shall be filed and retained by the Town and shall be deemed to be a business record within the scope of Section 52-180 of the Connecticut General Statutes and evidence of the facts contained therein. The hearing officer shall conduct the hearing in the order and form and with such methods of proof as the hearing officer deems fair and appropriate. The rules regarding the admissibility of evidence shall not be strictly applied, but all testimony shall be given under oath or affirmation. The hearing officer shall announce a decision at the end of the hearing. If the hearing officer determines that the cited person is not liable, then the matter shall be dismissed. and the hearing officer's determination shall be entered in writing accordingly. If the cited person is found liable for the violation, the hearing officer shall forthwith enter and assess the fines, penalties, costs or fees against the cited person as provided by the applicable ordinance.
At the request of the cited person, the presence of the issuing municipal officer or employee shall be required at the hearing. A designated Town official, other than the hearing officer, may present evidence on behalf of the town. The cited person wishing to contest liability shall appear at the hearing and may present evidence in his or her behalf. The hearing officer may, however, accept by mail from the cited person copies of police reports, investigatory and citation reports and other official documents, and may determine thereby that the appearance of the cited person at the hearing is unnecessary. If the cited person fails to appear and such appearance has not been determined by the hearing officer to be unnecessary, the hearing officer may enter an assessment by default against the cited person upon a finding of proper notice; and liability under the applicable ordinance.
If such assessment is not paid on the date of its entry, the hearing officer shall send by first class mail a notice of the assessment to the cited person and shall file, not less than 30 days nor more than 12 months after such mailing, a certified copy of the notice of assessment with the clerk of the Superior Court, for Tolland County, together with such entry fee as may be required by the Superior Court. The certified copy of the notice of assessment shall constitute a record of assessment. Within such twelve-month period, assessments against the same cited person may be accrued and filed as one record of assessment. The clerk shall enter judgment, in the amount of such record of assessment and court costs, against the cited person in favor of the Town. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Connecticut General Statutes, the hearing officer's assessment, when so entered as a judgment, shall have the effect of a civil money judgment and a levy of execution of such judgment may issue without further notice to the cited person.
A cited person against whom an assessment has been entered pursuant to this chapter is entitled to judicial review by way of appeal. An appeal shall be instituted within 30 days of the mailing of notice of such assessment by filing a petition to reopen assessment, together with an entry fee in an amount equal to the entry fee for a small claims case pursuant to Section 52-259 of the Connecticut General Statutes, in the Superior Court at Tolland County, which shall entitle the cited person to a hearing in accordance with the rules of the judges of the Superior Court.
