<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">When we reminisce about our favorite vacation trips, we
realize that all of them include our Cairn terrier. We love camping and boating
on the local lake near where we live. The campgrounds on this lake allow you to
bring pets along as long as you obey their pet regulations. Our dog enjoys
swimming, boating and even breaking up sticks for campfires. While we pack the
car for one of these trips, excitement builds throughout the family, including
our dog who knows we will soon depart on an adventure. In the list below, we
share what we consider the top benefits are for taking your pet on vacation
with you.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;" />

<span style="background: white;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; float: none; orphans: auto; text-align: start; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">Pet
boarding can be about $25 or higher a night depending upon the length of your
pet's stay and the type of care it requires each day. Just consider the extra
money that you will have to spend on your trip by taking your pet with you,
especially on long trips that last more than a few days.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span><br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;" />

your pet further and in a laid-back way on your trip. As you deepen this bond

increase by a substantial amount.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span><br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;" />

<span style="background: white;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; float: none; orphans: auto; text-align: start; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">Since you
will not worry about how your pet is reacting to your absence, the trip will be
less stressful for you. This will enable you to receive the relaxation that you
deserve without issue. In addition, your pet will not suffer from anxiety in
the kennel while you are gone.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span><br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;" />

<span style="background: white;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; float: none; orphans: auto; text-align: start; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">Taking
your pet with you on your vacation is an excellent way to enhance his or her
training and socialization skills. For example, my dog had to learn not to bark
in the campground at night to keep from bothering fellow campers. Here at home,
though, we let her frolic a bit outside and bark at the birds or squirrels in
moderation before she comes in for the night.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span><br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;" />

<span style="background: white;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; float: none; orphans: auto; text-align: start; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">Allowing
your pet to accompany you on your trip will deepen your enjoyment of the entire

along with how the pet frolicked in the nearby park, for just one example.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span><br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;" />

A <a href="http://compass.rehab/treatments/acupuncture/craniosacral-massage" target="_blank">craniosacral massage</a> is a light touch noninvasive therapy used treat adults, young children and infants. This therapy can be used to help treat a variety of dysfunctions including neck and back pain, migraines, chronic fatigue, stroke, fibromyalgia, emotional problems, and numerous other conditions.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<a name='more'></a>The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_nervous_system" target="_blank">central nervous system</a> keeps health in balance, with the skull and spine communicating with and regulates organs and other bodily processes. When our body is in balance and functioning smoothly, it is said to be at <a href="http://www.britannica.com/science/homeostasis" target="_blank">homeostasis</a>. When we are stressed out, whether it’s physical, emotional or psychological, our bodies get off balance and will no longer be in a state of homeostasis. Once stress levels decline, your body will be more in balance and will return to homeostasis.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you are extremely stressed out about a particular event, or if you are experiencing a buildup of stress, your body will have an extremely hard time returning to homeostasis and will begin to cause a breakdown in communication between the Central nervous systems, organs, and other processes. Most people can ignore the stress and pain from a particular traumatizing event but not everyone has that ability. Bio-dynamic craniosacral therapists are trained to listen to your body through light therapeutic touch. Therapists listen to rhythmic motions through bodily tissues and fluids to find areas of the body causing stress.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Through this light touching, therapists help you to release long held stresses to improve physical, psychological, and emotional balance. They don’t apply force to correct irregularities in the body, but simply use a variety of soft touches. As the practitioner is performing the treatment, the bones, joints and relational connective tissue are able to release tension.<o:p></o:p></div>

Health is organized by an <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innate_intelligence" target="_blank">innate intelligence</a>, and professionals provide the guidance to restore connectivity in the body when it can’t be done by one’s self. The outcome of a craniosacral massage is to promote self-healing by providing safe, desirable conditions to find your bodies balance. </div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

typically pleased with the high number of tropical fish that live in the nearby
bay. Visitors interested in inland excursions should not miss a walk on the
Francis Bay Trail, which is perfect for birdwatching and gathering tropical flowers.

Pacific Northwesterners love their outdoors, and finding
great places to hike is a top priority for residents and visitors alike. This
is no different in Walla Walla, which sits in the middle of rural paradise.
However, the town is known to be in a heavily agricultural area (specifically
wheat), which does make it a bit tricky for those who don't know where to go.
Luckily, visitors needn't look too far to find a few great hikes in the Walla
Walla area.</div>

<br />
<a href="http://www.americantrails.org/NRTDatabase/trailDetail.php?recordID=3764" target="_blank">The Bennington Lake Trail</a> is one of the most beloved
trails around. The 2.7 mile trek takes hikers on a circuit around the
reservoir, which is located just outside of town. Visitors to the trail have a
complete view of both the lake and the surrounding fields, which are filled
with a variety of wildflowers and wildlife. The traffic on Bennington Lake
Trail is moderate and appropriate for a wide spectrum of activities, including
hiking, trail running, bird watching, or bike riding. Additionally, this trail
is dog and kid friendly. If this particular track doesn't make your cut,
however, there are over 17 more miles of hiking paths in this recreation area.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<a href="http://www.co.umatilla.or.us/Parks/" target="_blank">Harris Park</a> is another well-known hike in the Walla Walla
area. Sitting 20 miles south of town in Oregon, this park is home to a rugged
trail that is recommended for the more experienced trekker. Although the trail
gets quite narrow at points, its route through the valley presents a great way
to admire the surrounds.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The Juniper canyon and dune walk within the McNary
National Wildlife Refuge is also a great hike that is just down the road from
downtown Walla Walla. Located 40 minutes west of town, this park is best for
those who like to explore on their own off the beaten path, as there aren't any
formally marked paths. Entering from the Joy Road side of the area will reward
visitors with impressive dunes.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Of course, not everyone is chasing an overly challenging
day walk. Whitman Mission offers a short one mile trek around the historic
site. Walkers need only travel just west of Walla Walla before finding
themselves at one of the first non-native settlements in Washington. The
shortness of the trail makes it a great option for people of all ages and skill
levels. Plus, the trail ends near historical buildings and a national monument.</div>

Lenox, Massachusetts, offers a variety of things to do.
There are five reasons why tourists should visit this city in Berkshire County
this summer. </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The Boston Symphony Orchestra performs at <a href="http://www.bso.org/brands/tanglewood/visit/directions.aspx" target="_blank">Tanglewood inLenox</a> during the summer. This music venue is the orchestra's summer home.

<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The home of novelist <a href="http://www.edithwharton.org/edith-wharton/biography/" target="_blank">Edith Wharton</a> is in Lenox. The Mount
was built in 1902, and it is open for tours during the summer. Things to see in
the main house include tapestries from the 16th century, books that belonged to
Wharton and marble fireplaces. The house is surrounded by 3 acres of gardens.
An Italianate garden, a rock garden and native ferns are some of things to see
here. </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The Lenox Station is another building in Lenox from the
early 20th century. The administrative office of the Berkshire Scenic Railway
Museum is in this building. Visitors can climb inside a caboose from 1927. A
vintage communication system that was used in trains is displayed in the Yokun
Block Station here. Vintage railroad equipment is displayed in the station's
yard.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Tourists who want to spend a summer day outdoors will
enjoy the Pleasant Valley Wildlife Sanctuary. Hiking trails here wind through
meadows and forests. Those who prefer a more strenuous hike can take a trail to
the top of <a href="https://www.trails.com/tcatalog_trail.aspx?trailid=HGN191-030" target="_blank">Lenox Mountain</a> and enjoy a panoramic view of the Berkshires. People
who want to spend time on the water can take a canoe trip on the Housatonic
River or the sanctuary's lakes. There is a deck near Pike's Pond where people
can view wildlife.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The town parks in Lenox are great places to enjoy outdoor
recreation or relax. Horseback riders, bicyclists and hikers can use the trails
in Kennedy Park. Lilac Park has picnic areas. There are benches where visitors
can sit and admire the lilacs that give the park its name. Concerts are held
here during the summer.</div>

<a href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4a/Hitachi%2C_LED_light_bulb%2C_LDA15D-G%2C_E26_cap%2C.jpg/450px-Hitachi%2C_LED_light_bulb%2C_LDA15D-G%2C_E26_cap%2C.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4a/Hitachi%2C_LED_light_bulb%2C_LDA15D-G%2C_E26_cap%2C.jpg/450px-Hitachi%2C_LED_light_bulb%2C_LDA15D-G%2C_E26_cap%2C.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
When you construct or remodel a building, be sure to consider installing LED light fixtures. Many <a href="http://www.usailighting.com/multiples" target="_blank">retail lighting fixtures</a> have moved to LED, but don't think that they are not a good option for your home as well. Light-emitting diodes are the latest efficient lighting technology, so they remain somewhat more expensive than the alternatives. However, these lights cost much less in the long run. The reliability and low power consumption of LEDs makes them an excellent investment for homeowners and businesses.
<br />
<br />
<b>Longevity
</b><br />
An <a href="http://www.bulbs.com/learning/ledfaq.aspx" target="_blank">LED light can last for many years</a>. Rather than going dark when a single element fails, it contains numerous independent diodes that fail separately over a lengthy period of time. Most LED bulbs last around 15 times longer than halogen units and 20 to 30 times longer than incandescent products. Their lifespan surpasses that of compact fluorescent bulbs by about 400 percent.
<br />
<br />
Although LEDs demand a larger initial investment, you'll save money because you won't need to replace them as often. This may also result in fewer trips to the store and less time devoted to changing bulbs in hard-to-reach fixtures. Businesses can cut labor costs or boost productivity when employees spend fewer hours replacing light bulbs.
<br />
<br />
<b>Electricity
</b><br />
Every LED fixture <a href="http://energy.gov/energysaver/how-energy-efficient-light-bulbs-compare-traditional-incandescents" target="_blank">yields substantial energy savings</a>. In comparison to equivalent incandescent units, these lights cut electricity consumption by around three-quarters to four-fifths. They also draw approximately 40 to 45 percent less power than compact fluorescent bulbs. These fixtures are much more efficient than halogen units as well.
<br />
<br />
Although hourly or daily savings may seem insignificant, LEDs have a major impact on long-term energy expenses. For example, perhaps people use a light for an average of seven hours per day. After about four years, an LED fixture would have added roughly $17 to the electric bill. On the other hand, the power for an equivalent incandescent light will cost approximately $35.
<br />
<br />
<b>Heat Output
</b><br />
Another benefit of LEDs is that they produce <a href="http://www.ledsmagazine.com/articles/2005/05/fact-or-fiction-leds-don-t-produce-heat.html" target="_blank">far less heat than fluorescent or incandescent lights</a>. This means your home or office won't use as much energy for cooling. While it's true that you might need to buy a little extra heating fuel in the winter, almost any heating equipment will create warmth more efficiently than a light bulb.
<br />
<br />
The bottom line is that LED lights save time and money in several important ways. When you consider the large number of fixtures in an average house, office or shop, the long-term savings are quite impressive. The next time you begin a construction or renovation project, remember to include LED lighting in your plans.

Business coaching has been around for some time, and it is in the recent past that many have found the service very helpful to their businesses. A lot of business owners have proven to have gotten excellent help from a professional business coach. A <a href="http://hypergro.org/" target="_blank">business coach</a> trains you on the best way to work out your business for an exponential growth. The following are both the advantages and disadvantages of business coaching.<br />
<h3>
Pros
</h3>
<b>Convenience</b><br />
Some of their sessions do not need you in person. Many communicate with the coaches on the phone, and others are sent to you through e-mail. They are comprehensible and readily applicable. Therefore, you have no excuses in making your business performance and profits skyrocket with the help of a business coach.
<br />
<br />
<b>Openness
</b><br />
Most managers find it easy to talk about issues pertaining the company and how they affect them. A business coach being an unbiased party in this scenario will help them air out grievances most managers find difficult to discuss.
<br />
<br />
<b>Productivity
</b><br />
Most companies who have hired a business coach will tell you things have improved so much in a short period. <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/teamwork/" target="_blank">Teamwork has gone up</a>, relationships with stakeholders and customers have also improved, costs have lowered, and profits have increased.<br />
<h3>
The cons are fewer, but worth considering</h3>
<b>Expensive</b><br />
For a company that has just started, these services can be very expensive. Even for existing companies these services may also need them to dig deeper into their organizational pockets to raise the amount necessary for the coaching. At the end of the day, the company may end up in a situation where they are not able to meet all the company's needs.
<br />
<br />
<b>Effectiveness
</b><br />
At the end of the coaching, many companies will ask questions like was it useful to us? Will it improve our productivity and lower our costs? Though it is said to work for most companies, others have claimed to have gotten no change.
<br />
<br />
It is clearly up to you as a business owner to rationalize and think critically about how to improve your business. Coaching might be the best option but also never forget that it is your hard work that will make your business flourish.

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #333333;">Rhode Island is a popular tourist destination for a litany of
reasons. It has amazing historical sites, breathtaking nature, and a unique mix
of rural and urban destinations to visit. Whether you are a local or a tourist,
however, you may be overlooking one of Rhode Island's best and most underrated
features: its shopping. The state features a great balance of sprawling malls
and independently-owned stores. Most of the state's attractions are found in
its capitol, Providence, and this is also where you will find the top shopping
destinations!</span></span></div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
<br />
For an exclusive experience and unparalleled selection, you can find the best
designer duds at various stores in the Providence Place mall. The mall features
stores like Express, LOFT, and White House Black Market. For more information
and a full listing of Providence Place's stores, you can <a href="http://www.providenceplace.com/directory"><b><span style="color: #e95e0f;">visit their directory</span></b></a><span style="color: #333333;">. The
mall is the place to go if you seek a high-end shopping experience or if you
are shopping for clothes. You'll find purses, designer denim, and more at this
great mall! With as many stores as it has, you certainly won't get bored,
either.<br />
<br />
For a more localized experience you may be interested in checking out some of
the independent stores in Providence. If this is the case, downtown is the
place for you. Consignment shops, smaller boutiques, and specialty retailers
populate downtown Providence's shopping blocks. Shopping here is a great way to
get a feel for Rhode Island's unique culture and community, and shopping
locally helps independent businesses thrive. This is also the place to go if
you want to find uniquely Rhode Island items. You can pick up souvenirs,
shirts, and other memorabilia here to show your Rhode Island pride. You can
check out </span><a href="http://downtownprovidence.com/neighborhood-guide/downtown-directory/"><b><span style="color: #e95e0f;">downtown
Providence's directory</span></b></a></span><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> for more information.<br />
<br />
Providence isn't the only destination for great shopping, but it is has the
best selection of stores, and you're sure to enjoy your experience there. Even
if you hadn't planned to include retail therapy in your trip, you may want to
consider squeezing in time for a shopping spree. Rhode Island is one of the few
places you can relax, enjoy nature's beauty, and indulge in world-class
boutiques all in the same day. Take advantage of all Rhode Island has to offer,
and enjoy some of the best shopping of your life!</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 7.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

There's a huge body of water right in front of you just asking for you to dive in. In addition to swimming, though, are a lot of other water activities that serve up just as much fun as wading in the water.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Surfing</b></u><br />
<br />
If you've never tried surfing, it's quite the experience. For most people, surfing comes at a bit of a challenge, but a lot of beaches offer amateur surf lessons. If you choose to opt out of some beginner lessons and tackle the waves on your own, there's a few things you should first know:<br />
<ul>
<li>You'll need good balance to remain steady on your board.</li>
<li>Like any sport and the equipment involved, the size matters. The size of the board should depend on if you're a beginner or expert. A longer board is best for someone first starting out.</li>
<li>Where surf-specific clothing/swimwear.</li>
<li>Always check the weather first. Don't get stuck as a beginner out in the water when a storm rolls in.</li>
<li>Eat a balanced meal or breakfast before hitting the waves.</li>
</ul>

<u><b>Snorkeling</b></u><br />
<br />
Snorkeling is one of the most popular water activities that involves both swimming and observing of the ocean wildlife. It's both educational and fun as you can get up close and personal with sea creatures you probably didn't know existed.<br />
<br />
If you've never been snorkeling, read up on these <a href="http://tampahotelstoday.com/tips-time-snorkelers/" target="_blank">tips for first time snorkelers</a>.<br /><br /><u><b>Paddleboarding</b></u><br />
<br />
Similar to surfing, this activity on the water also involves a board. Some people refer to it as "stand up paddle boarding," which is the activity in which one stands on the board and uses a paddle to propel his or herself along the water in a gliding motion.<br />
<br />
Paddleboarders can choose to relax and lay down on the long board, as well as soak up the sun.<br />

No summer vacation is complete without returning home with shoes full of sand and pockets full of seashells. Kids love to scour the sandy shores for the perfect shells, making sure to get as many as possible. Why not take the shell fun to the next level with some fun and easy seashell crafts that both you and your children can enjoy? <a name='more'></a><span style="background-color: white;"></span></div>
<div>
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Seashell Ladybugs</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"></span></b></div>
<br />
These little creatures are a cute and fun way to decorate your seashells and to create some fun little toys for kids to play with. The first step is to use watercolors to dye the shells, a simple paintbrush works to apply the color. Get creative and make your ladybugs look unique with bright colors or make a classic red shell. Let the shells dry out in the sun for a short time. After the paint is dry, use a black sharpie to create your ladybugs' spots and face. <br />

Spring has officially started and it's time to start thinking about decluttering your office space to let new ideas and inspirations flow. There are some simple ways to refresh your office that won't take too much effort or elbow grease. Start the season off right with a clean office with these five tips for spring cleaning. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<h3>
Organize, Organize, Organize</h3>
Is there anything worse than one of that one big client calls and you can't seem to find the right file to answer their million questions? No, so that is why <a href="http://www.realsimple.com/home-organizing/organizing/organizing-home-office/20-home-office-organizing-tricks" target="_blank">organization </a>should be your first spring cleaning task. Clear out old folders and files from your desk and filing cabinets. Either box them up and place them in the storage closet or recycle them appropriately. This goes for virtual files and folders on your computer. Get rid of the clutter and delete old documents or file them away on a separate flash drive to clear up some computer memory. Organizing and getting rid of old things is the first step to success in any office space. <br />
<h3>
To-do, To-read, To-file</h3>
A subcategory of organization is making sure the files you're keeping have a clear category, which should be one of three: To-do, to-read, to-file. Start by organizing all your files and papers into these three categories and then keeping them separate either with labeled binders or drawers. This way your can eliminate those paper mountains on your desk and won't ever misfile anything again.<br />
<h3>
The Dreaded Clutter Drawer </h3>
Everyone has one, the clutter drawer, where all of us throw the random things we don't have a real place for. These drawers are where organization goes to die and must be eliminated. The best solution is a slotted desk insert that allows for only like objects to be together in each slot, such as paper clips with paper clips, and rubber bands with rubber bands. This can make finding supplies easier and more efficient.<br />
<h3>
Digital Clutter</h3>
As aforementioned, clearing out old files on your computer is a great way to get organized and to save some memory space. This goes for your email account as well, create clear folders for archived emails and get rid of correspondences that are a year or older. <br />
<h3>
Regular Upkeep </h3>
Maintaining your organization is just as important as achieving it. Making sure to keep up with your organized filing system or keeping things in their places is the best way to keep your office space clean and uncluttered all the time.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Today, there is so much emphasis on the <a href="http://www.strategicbusinessnetwork.com/about/importance" target="_blank">importance of connecting</a> with other professionals whether that is on Twitter, LinkedIn,
Facebook, or other social media or professional site. This can be easier said
than done. Connecting with these professionals who you only meet once or twice
in person can be awkward or unnatural. Even though it is a norm in today’s
society to connect with or “friend” everyone you meet, it can still make you
feel uncomfortable. Another struggle is how to keep those connections fresh and
interested in you even after your simple one-time meeting. Here are some simple
tips to help you connect with people and then keep those connections relevant.</div>
<a name='more'></a> <o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Research and Make the Connection</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When you meet someone who seems like they would be a good
connection, research them before actually reaching out to them. Find them on
social media sites and LinkedIn to see what work they have done in the past and
if they would be a good person to connect with. Remember that any connection
you have is a representation of the people you associate with. When you feel
that this person is a good connection to make, reach out to them. This can be
through following them on Twitter, friend-requesting them on Facebook, or
asking to connect on LinkedIn. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Interact </b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once you have made the initial connection, it is easy to let
it fall aside. Professional connections need to be tended to in order to keep
them relevant and so your connection remembers you. An easy way to do this is
through interacting. If they post something on Facebook, like it or comment on
it. Retweet an interesting article they share on Twitter or congratulate them
on a new job on LinkedIn. Don’t go overboard, but it is important to remain in
their mind after you’ve met in person and connected on social media. Another
way to interact is to join groups that discuss topics you’re interested in or
events that you’ve both attended. One app that allows you to discuss events
with other attendees is the <a href="http://www.resultsathand.com/mobile-apps/single-event/" target="_blank">ConferenceBeat App</a> from Results at Hand Software.
You can connect with these individuals that you may have met at an event and
then decide if this professional connection is someone that you want as a
follower on Twitter or connection on LinkedIn. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Post Good Content <o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In order to <a href="http://www.contentmasteryguide.com/2013/05/taking-local-networking-contacts-online.html" target="_blank">keep your connections interested</a> in you, it is
important that you post relevant, interesting content. Whether you are sharing
stories on Facebook or creating tweets on Twitter, make sure your content is
something that you want to be recognized for. If you blog, be sure to share
your latest blog posts on social media sites to attract more blog followers. By
posting good content you can attract new individuals to your pages in hopes to
gain even more connections in your professional world. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
If you’ve spent any long period of time in a car, either
commuting or traveling, you know the importance of quality air conditioning.
Having a sticky humid car where your back adheres to the seat is no way to
start a work day or vacation. Problems from air conditioners in vehicles start
with AC leaks. If not properly checked, these leaks can develop into drastic
damages to the AC system. This will leave you in a baking hot steel cage,
wishing you could have done something to prevent it. Instead of spending an arm
and a leg, here are cheap ways to stop AC leaks in your car. </div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Checking Leaks:</b> Instead of buying a leak checking kit, here
are some simple signs that your car’s AC is leaking. The carpeting is wet,
awkward noises coming from the vents when you start it, less air coming from
the vents, musty smell when the air is coming out of the vents. These are the telltale
signs of AC leak in your vehicle and they need to be checked out ASAP.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Recharge:</b> The simplest way to improve your AC in a car is to
recharge the system with a recharge coolant also known as <a href="http://www.autozone.com/autozone/accessories/Fluids-and-Chemicals/Freon-Charging-Kit/_/N-259q">Freon</a>.
This might not completely fix a leak, but if your AC seems lukewarm, a recharge
can improve the coolant system and bring your car’s interior to a comfortable
medium. Recharge kits can be pretty reasonably priced if you shop around
competitors online. The do-it-yourself kits are effective as long as you follow
step-by-step directions. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Seal:</b> You can physically repair the AC leak by using a super
seal material found at any local hardware store or <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Interdynamics-325-R134a-Super-Seal/dp/B0002KKLI4">online</a>.
The main components of AC leaks are found in rubber or metal parts around the
AC system in the hood of your car. Rubber and metal leaks include: hoses,
O-rings, gaskets, evaporator, condenser, accumulator, or receiver drier. These
can be sealed for most small leaks within two weeks of the beginning signs of
the leak. If the leak has been ignored or it is large, you’ll need a
professional service to fix the problem. Again just make sure to follow the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--3J7uROKrM">step by step</a> process of
using the sealant. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>AC Repair:</b> If you find further AC damage in your car, the
best way to attempt to fix the problem is to <a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Fix-Your-Car%27s-Air-Conditioner">understand the interworking</a>
of car air conditioning. By understand you car’s AC system you can be more
adept to make home repairs that will save you time, money, and most of all
sweat. </div>

Owning a home garners many responsibilities, especially in
maintenance and upkeep. When the weather begins to change, for the heat or the
cold, there can be heightened awareness of <a href="http://nadca.com/en/why-clean-air-ducts">complications
with air ducts</a>. But before you look at the local ads in the paper or find a
handyman on Craig’s List, make sure you're aware about air duct cleaning scams. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u>How Does it Happen?</u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>Illegitimate companies
form fronts that advertise their duct cleaning services. They do this by
sending mail to homes warning them about the dangers of uncleansed air ducts and
health problem resulting in ignoring them. The shady companies initially promise
low prices but when they arrive on site they make up other problems and charges
that can raise prices over $500. Many times, the workers will leave the air
ducts in worse shape than they started off. </div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<u>Who Does it Happen to?</u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anyone who is a home owner or business owner is in danger of
being deceived by a false air duct company scams. In many cases they will
attempt to exploit the elderly, using fear to scam the home owners for hundreds
of dollars.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u>Why Aren’t They Stopped?</u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In many cases the companies will literally disappear and
then resurface again in another area. The companies are mainly listed with a
false identity or third party. Their base of operations is crud and can be
changed quickly. They might appear to be a friendly neighborhood service
company, but that’s what gets them in the door and cost you money.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u>How to Decide to Get Air Ducts Cleaned</u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
By checking the cold-air return vents you will begin to
understand whether to clean the air ducts. <a href="http://www.lncarpetcleaning.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Dirty-duct.jpg">The
vents</a> will usually be coated with hair, dust, or mold. Another indicator is
if your heating or cooling levels seem inconsistent or ineffective.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u>How to Prevent the Scam?</u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
First make sure the company is a full service duct cleaning
company and it’s not just an add on to their other services. You want a company
that is an expert in air duct cleaning, not window washing. Double check the
Better Business Bureau and National Air Duct Cleaners Association before hiring
someone to do the job. If the company is listed on these sites and has good
reviews on sites like <a href="http://www.angieslist.com/">Angie’s List</a>,
then you’ve avoided the shady ones. In order to avoid being charged too much,
have the company show you before and after pictures of the air ducts and ask
them how they’ll clean them. The best companies use customized power vacuums,
not just Dust-Vacs. Another way to guarantee a secure and quality company is to
find an established national company that has a reputation for air duct cleaning
services like <a href="http://www.servicemasterofcharleston.com/">Service
Master Clean</a>. </div>

From Obamacare to changes in local regulations and taxes, its not always easy being a business owner these days. I'm fortunate enough to run in the same circles as many entrepreneurs in Michigan so recently I decided that I'd ask a few pointed questions on where they got their info from to keep up on the latest happenings that would affect their businesses. Here's a short list of their responses, the three best places to get your Michigan business news and a bit of a summary on each.<br />
<br />
<b><a href="http://www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/" target="_blank">Michigan Business Network</a>. </b>The Michigan business network has an enormous library of podcasts and up to date news on events of interest for Michigan business owners. Probably the most valuable item on the whole site though is the Michigan Business Event Calendar - <a href="http://michiganbusinessnetwork.com/events/">http://michiganbusinessnetwork.com/events/</a>. It's loaded with all kinds of valuable informational and networking events that any businessman would be interested in.<br />
<br />
<b><a href="http://www.crainsdetroit.com/" target="_blank">Crain's Detroit</a>.</b> Yes, the focus of Crain's is on Southwest Michigan, but all the same, that's where the vast majority of Michiganders live and work, so considering the population density and their excellent coverage, it still sits in the top three no matter where in Michigan you hang your hat. The "this week's issue" section is also a nice primer for the print edition.<br />
<br />
<b><a href="http://www.cfe.umich.edu/" target="_blank">Center For Entrepreneurship</a>.</b> The University of Michigan puts its money where it's mouth is with the CFE, sharing excellent (and highly relevant) information from a variety of sources of entrepreneurial and business news as well as their own weekly series.<br />

I've had a lot of car troubles over the years and since I just finally bit the bullet and plunked down a health amount of money on a used Ford Explorer, I figured I'd do my homework on getting an extended warranty before I plunked down a huge pile of money.<br />
<br />
I wouldn't have even considered this a month ago, but the sales guy at the dealership really pushed it at me, and to be honest, many of the things he was telling me made sense. So, being the meticulous sort of person that I am, I figured I'd plunk myself down in front of a computer and do a little bit of reading.<br />
<br />
Here were some of the better articles I found that helped me in my decision.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="http://gordonworth.com/what-are-the-differences-in-fords-esp-warranties/" target="_blank">Differences in Ford Warranties</a> - They're all a little different, and this breaks down the differences if you're not someone who knows all the ins and outs of cars.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2013/05/should-you-buy-an-extended-warranty-for-your-car.html" target="_blank">Should you buy one?</a> - A nice article from Auto Guide that has some nice insights like "check into the brand and model...are they repair prone?"</li>
<li><a href="http://money.usnews.com/money/blogs/my-money/2012/04/24/6-reasons-why-you-should-never-purchase-an-extended-warranty" target="_blank">6 Reasons why you should never purchase an extended warranty</a> - What can I say? I like to see all sides of an argument, and this was the one that tried hardest to talk me out of it. Definitely worth a read.</li>

College of Physicians</a> meeting. This is an internal medicine meeting with a
basically good group pf docs who are struggling to make sense of a new and ever
changing work environment. Sometimes we are good at understanding things; of
course, sometimes we are not.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
I was at a meeting this morning in which a case of a patient with early onset
emphysema was described. The patient turned out to have a genetic deficiency
called alpha 1 anti-trypsin deficiency. Being relatively young (age 43) and
saddled with a chronic progressive illness with no known cure, the patient was
clearly headed for tremendous medical costs as far as the eye could see. The
<a href="http://www.getholistichealth.com/10280/a-brief-history-of-physicians/" target="_blank">physicians</a> on the podium did try to grapple with this issue of cost, especially
in light of the fact that an unproven therapy, alpha 1 anti-trypsin infusions,
costs upwards of 40k per year and has unclear insurance coverage.<br />
<br />
So what did the presenting docs say? Well, the older,silver haired physician
presented the problem in the traditional manner, stating that doctors should
not soil themselves with such questions, and instead leave that up to
"society" to answer. This is the classic "tragedy of the
commons" problem that is described in Econ 101. "Society" is
kind of like that open field in the neighborhood that is not privately owned.
It is the place where the grass grows taller, beer cans end up, and dogs tend
to use as restrooms.<br />
<br />
The younger physician on the panel, however, gave the more troubling analysis.
He stated that he had another patient with a similar problem who was an
uninsured student. He told the student to quit school and get a job at
Walmart,where he could sign up for health insurance. Walmart? No offense to the
doc, but does he read the newspaper?<br />
<br />
We physicians have a ways to go in our understanding of the health care crisis
in our country. A couple of things are clear to me, however.We physicians have
to take ownership of the problem, and not just leave it to "society".
And we have to make it our business to understand the issues at play, and
recognize who are, and who are not, the good players (Walmart is clearly in the
latter group). Wish us luck.<o:p></o:p></div>

<a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.abilenetx.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Abilene, Texas">Abilene</a> has a scent. I wish I could find the perfect words
to describe it. The best I can come up with is this: it smells like clean pool
water, honeysuckle, and mesquite. Barbecue is usually in the breeze if it's
warm.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
When it rains, you smell ozone... not like in <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.cityoftacoma.org/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Tacoma, Washington">Tacoma</a>, where rain just means
getting wet. Rain here moves me. The sun usually comes out before the rain
stops, turning the raindrops into diamonds. The sunlight reflects off of the
water on every surface - driveways, roofs, cars. The grass gets greener; you
can almost taste the chlorophyll.<br />
<br />
I grew up in a house about two miles from here, just blocks away from the high
school. I remember those early days of fall when the marching band would wake
me up. Windows open, sun shining, I would usually hear a lawn mower purring in
the distance.<br />
<br />
Being here on a warm day reminds me of summer afternoons, as a child... sitting
in small pools filled with water from the hose. The rosebush in our front yard,
my mom showing me how to taste the nectar from a honeysuckle. Riding bikes
throughout our old neighborhood, stopping to pet cats or discover new trails.
My old hiding places in the schoolyard. At dusk, my sister and I would roll
back up the driveway to find dinner almost ready.<br />
<br />
During the spring seasons of my high school years, we used to have class
outdoors, on the tables right outside the library. Birds chirping, breeze
blowing. The sun relaxing our muscles. I don't know how we ever focused on
Dante with such an atmosphere.<br />
<br />
On any given day here, assuming it's warm outside, you can walk through these
residential streets and see people washing their cars in the driveway, children
riding bikes, retirees out for a jog. There's a creek a block and a half away,
and young boys are almost always there fishing.<br />
<br />
The creek runs through a park, where you can take an ice cream cone and sit on
a bench, and watch little league practice. I used to go there when I was young,
and play on the jungle gym. The squeak of my <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.keds.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Keds (shoes)">Keds</a>, working hard to stop my
small body mid-slide, so I could hide out in that large aluminum tube.<br />
<br />
I used to have soccer practice in that park. Earlier this year, when I was
living in Abilene, I used to go there in the afternoons to eat my lunch.
Sometimes, he would call me as I sat, looking at the lake and watching mothers
push their children on the swings.<br />
<br />
This town feels as if it's surrounded by a nuclear membrane. I've walked alone
at midnight through my parent's neighborhood, never worrying for my safety. I
used to get a vanilla Coke from <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.sonicyouth.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Sonic Youth">Sonic</a>, and take it to the park late at night. I
would swing myself, alone but unafraid. The city was hushed, the moon was
bright. I'd slide off my flip-flops, and kick sand as I sailed through the air.
Sometimes, someone I knew would show up. Other times, I enjoyed the peace of
solitude.<br />
<br />
Yesterday, Abilene hit a record 82 degrees. It'll be nearly seventy today. I
wish I could bottle up this air, and take it back with me.<o:p></o:p></div>
