Purchasing Your First Fixed Blade Knife

Posted on by Creative Programs and Systems - Updated

All of us have moments in life that we remember like they just happened yesterday. For some it is their first kiss, going to college, getting married, purchasing a home; this list could go on forever. For me one of these days is the day I was able to purchase my own fixed blade knife otherwise known as a “survival knife”. I was beyond excited. I had waited a long time, done a lot of research and finally decided upon the knife I would come to carry on my hip for years to come.
I purchased it online and when it arrived at my doorstep I was as ecstatic as a young child on Christmas morning. I wear is as casually as a pair of underwear only removing it from my hip on occasions that a knife is not allowed. I won’t share the brand or exact fixed blade knife I choose because I truly believe you decide for yourself when choosing fixed blade knives and in no way do I want to influence your decision. I will however give you a more in depth look at choosing a knife that is right for you and exactly why I believe, especially given society today, that a knife is a staple for everyone to carry; whether it is a pocket knife, fixed blade or liner lock.
Survival knives such as the Cold Steel Tai Pan Double Edged Dagger Knife are not only beautiful to carry and treasure but also incredibly useful. You can use the knife in a variety of ways: cutting, slicing, self-defense, first aid, food preparations, assist in building shelter and to help as a tool in prying and screwing. I know everyone is currently thinking of some random movie scene where the good guys life is saved with the use of the great knife tool, right?
When considering your knife purchases always consider its practicality. For some people a pocket knife or liner lock knife make more sense as their jobs don’t entail a knife to be worn on their hip. For other like myself my career makes it a necessity. Pocket knives are easily concealed and are simple to use. This is a popular option for almost everyone. I make my daughter and wife carry one when they leave the house. Sometimes it assists them in opening a box or removing a tag but there in case something occurred that it might become a tool in saving them from a bad situation.
The things I considered when choosing my fixed blade knife were basic considerations such as the blades size, I like to be at around 5- 6 inches, it was full tang, one continuous piece of metal, it had a single-edged blade with a flat ground spine and a sharp point tip along with a solid pommel.
The decorations that have almost no bearing on the function of the knife include items such as if the blade is carbon steel or stainless steel, the material of the handle, the finish, millings, whether to have a serrated or non-serrated blade as well as the designer or brand name of the knife. Knife enthusiasts argue that Cold Steel, Boker, Case and Smith and Wesson are amongst the top brand names amongst knife makers and who am I to argue with that!

Getting Rid Of Mold On Your Shingle Roof

Posted on by Creative Programs and Systems - Updated

Mold accrues on shingle roofs frequently. Roofing is susceptible to mold and mildew when it does not receive enough sunlight or wind movement to properly dry the shingles leaving them with excess moisture and normal bacteria’s which cause green algae and mold to build up on the shingles. A common question from homeowners is how to get rid of the unsightliness without doing damage to the roofing or shingles.
The mold that can be seen some times is green mossy or black mold can appear in blotches or streaks on the roof. This is especially true of light colored asphalt shingles. The blue-green mossy algae are usually found in warm climates or humid summers. Although it is unsightly it does not usually do damage to the roofing material itself.
As for getting rid of the algae there are several ways to go about it. The first is to completely remove and replace the shingle roofing material with dark shingles. This will remove the issue currently and hopefully help you disguise the staining and moss growth later on down the road. Replace the roofing material with shingles that have copper granules and this will prevent the algae from forming as the copper is lethal to algae. A complete roof replacement is only needed if the current roofing material is in need of being replaced. This is the least cost effective manner in which to rid your roof of algae and moss.

Another technique that can be used to remove the algae on the shingle roof and is least expensive is to spray the roof down with a mixture of bleach and water. A 50/50 mix is best and will leave the roof clean without removing the granules on the shingles or bleaching the color out. No matter what do not use a power washer. This will remove the granules on the. shingle which will lead to the deteriorating of the material. Also it is important if you have landscaping below make sure you saturate the landscape with clean water before and after the job. Plants are notorious for not thriving in an environment when covered in bleach water.

To keep the algae from coming back add a piece of six inch strip of copper under the shingles at the roofs peak. The metal molecules will wash down with the water and will prevent algae from being able to foot into the shingles in the future. This is the same true of the copper flashing around the chimney. Look around at the roofs around you. Any of them with copper flashing are probably free of algae.
As always I do believe it is best to have a professional come and evaluate the situation. I think this is the best practice to ensure that there are not other issues that are causing the mold issue on the shingles. They also can remove the mold and algae and prevent damage to the shingles. As homeowners we tend to over clean the shingles which damages the structural components of the shingling.

The Purchase Of Your First Pearls

Posted on by Creative Programs and Systems - Updated

I have always had a deep affinity for pearls. To me they are a signature piece and signify grace, elegance, sophistication and all things right and proper in the world. It wasn’t until I was 27 that I was given my first pearls. I had longed for them for so long but being a woman of modest means and becoming a mother I never allowed the extra funds to make the purchase. My husband, sneaky devil, knew just how much a pair of pearl earrings meant to me and found a way to purchase them on my 5th mother’s day. They are exquisite and they are mine!
If you are like me and interested in owning a set or pearl earrings, a string of pearls to wear around your neck or a fabulous necklace including a pearl pendant there is a lot to know when choosing the perfect pearl much like there is when purchasing a diamond. Below I will give you a brief understanding of what you are looking for when choosing a perfect pearl for yourself or someone you love.
First you should know there are two types of pearls, natural and cultured. Most pearls for sale today are cultured which in laymen’s term means that a person has had a hand in the pearls creation. They are grown in a controlled environment be pearl farmers. While natural pearls are created in nature without any nurturing or assistance by human hands. A natural pearl is quite rare however when they are found they are harvested, cleaned and made into jewelry. The pearls my husband purchased for me are cultured as are most pearls you will find in stores today.
The variation of pearls today is also quite different from yester years. In the past the Japanese Akoya was virtually the only variation in pearl. Today you will find Freshwater pearls, South Seas white, Tahitian black and South Seas golden pearls. My pearl earrings are Japanese Akoya.
Most often pearls are treated to help improve upon their color. Of course this is all personal opinion but I believe the natural color of the pearl is the most beautiful. Mine have been dyed. Most are. If your pearls look to good to be true it is safe to assume they have been irradiated to look that way.
Pearls are most often round. An odd shaped pearl is known as a baroque and are quite beautiful in their own way. If the baroque pearl has good luster, is scratch and crack free a modern look can be created turning the pearl into something different, a young, modern hip version of itself.
Pearls are like diamonds in the sense that flaws occur and with flaws should be discounted. A flawed pearl should never cost the same as a perfect pearl. If the pearl has dimples, scratches or cracks it is imperfect and should be highly discounted to reflect that. Finding a piece with scratches at a discount is a great way to give a gift for a young child as a starter pair of pearls. From the distance they are being viewed no one will see the imperfections and the cost is one in which if the earrings are misplaced as things often are with teens you will not be out a ton of money.
When choosing a pearl with color the color itself is irrelevant when it comes to price unlike diamond jewelry. The color should be attractive when placed against the skin of the person wearing it. The color in your pearls should come alive when placed on the skin of the wearer. My pearls are a cream color and compliment my skin tone and hair coloring.
Good luck finding your perfect pearl pendant, pearl necklace or earrings!

Everything Electronic Driveway Gates Have To Offer

Posted on by Creative Programs and Systems - Updated

Driveway gates always intrigued me. In my mind I always consider that in order to own an electronic entrance gate for your driveway you were either a millionaire or hiding something good. Obviously now I know this is not the case. Choosing to add a driveway gate to our home comes down to security, value and ascetics.
Electronic gates and fence systems have come so far in design and function. You can find gates in wrought iron, wood, aluminum as well as chain link and a multitude of other materials. The material that is chosen for your fence and gate will be determined by so many factors such as budget, maintenance level, home and landscape style, color, gate operator needed and size.
First let’s discuss a reasonable budget when considering the addition of an electronic gate. It is important to determine if a fence is needed as well and the size of the fence. Larger gates and yards that require a fence as well will of course require a budget substantially higher than a space that only needs an electronic gate installed. Chain link driveway gates, which I would think represent the least expensive material, start around two hundred and fifty dollars. Be sure to note this does not include the price of the gate operator which will need to be purchased and installed as well.
Speaking of gate operators you will need to determine what operator best fits your existing space. Sliding gate operators and swing gate operators are common and both have advantages depending on your space. Sliding gates slide into themselves to open while swing gates swing open. Swing gates are not a feasible option in an area with unlevel ground as the gate needs level space to swing.
Maintenance of an electronic gate is going to happen the material of the gate however can be maintenance free. Aluminum entrance gates are virtually maintenance free where as wooden gates require yearly cleaning and staining.
The style of your home will help you decide upon a color and style. A super country home with a modern fence style is just not going to be attractive to most people. Likewise a country fence is not going to fit with a modern home. Make sure the color and style of your home and electronic entrance gate all look like they have always been together.
Another quality to consider is the size of the driveway and the height of the fence. Driveway fences can easily be customized to the size of your driveway. Gates are normally six to eight feet but can be as short as four feet. The general idea of an electronic entrance gate is to promote safety for your home and family. For this reason it is best to find a gate that is not able to be climbed along side of a fence that also restricts access.
Fence and gate systems are meant to last. With proper installation and maintenance, no matter the specifications, your fence and gate will withstand the test of time. Hiring a professional gate installer is the best way to go when initially adding an electronic gate to your driveway.

Steps To Properly Close Your Gunite Swimming Pool To Prevent Plaster Cracks

Posted on by Creative Programs and Systems - Updated

Closing your pool for the winter is a important part in the longevity of the pools life. Inground pools are protected from freezing water and clean before stored away for the winter making opening the pool next season that much easier. One of the most important aspects of closing a pool is making sure that the main structure of the pool is prepared for the impending cold season. This means ensuring the plaster is free of cracks and damage. Pool plaster repairs can be done in the winter before storing the pool for the season so that when opening it in the spring it is all set and ready to go. Pool plastering is a job specific for professionals to ensure the material is applied correctly and is thoroughly set before closing the pool for the season.

The first step after making sure the inground gunite pool plaster is set for the season is to begin winterizing the pools water chemistry. It is important to balance the pH, overall Alkalinity and calcium hardness. This will keep the surface of the pool, the plaster or shell, from staining.

Pool suppliers also sell a chemical that is intended to keep the water blue and clear throughout the winter season to ensure that opening the pool in the spring is simpler. As with all pool chemicals either call in pool professionals to assist you or read and re-read the instructions to make sure you are properly handling the chemicals and applying them as direct.

I recommend not using the chlorine or bromine tablets. In my experience they tend to sink to the bottom of the pool and damage the surface as they sit all winter dissolving in one spot. I feel the same way about pool floaters containing chemicals. Without the activity in the pool the floater will stick to the site of the pool causing a stain.

Take precautions against freezing water as it will destroy your pool plumbing. It is recommended to completely blow the water out and make sure the water is not left in the system to freeze. You can do this using a shop vacuum or once again calling in a pool expert. You will plug the ends of the lines after the water is blown to prevent the water from filling the line up again.

As for the water within the pool it is recommended that you lower the pool level below the mouth of the skimmer. If water is left above this level and water gets in the throat of the pool it can easily cause a great deal of damage to the pool system.

The next step is to cover the pool. This should be done to prevent the pool from collecting winter debris. The type of cover you use will depend on the climate where you live, the type of pool you have and personal preference. Certain pool covers are pricier than others but do tend to prevent accidents from pets and children stepping out onto the covered pool and falling through.

The filter equipment should also be stored and winterized. Drain and plug the equipment and be sure that you open any air relief valves if there are any. Remove pressure gauges and put multiport valves in the winterize position. Drain the pool pump; look carefully as some pools have two. After draining the pump open it to release built up water or air in the vein. All chemicals should be drained from the feeder as well as draining the cleaner pump, heater and other pool equipment with water potentially sitting in it.

Proper care and winterization of your pool increases the pools lifetime as well as that of the pool surface. If a gunite pool is cared for it can easily last fifteen to twenty years. This is longer than most people reside within a home. Proper care of the pool will also help increase the price of your home on the note of how long homeowners reside in a home!

Steps to take in the fall season

Posted on by Creative Programs and Systems - Updated

Fall is here! Can’t even believe this is being said so soon as it seems like just yesterday the kids got out of school and now summer has happened, memories have been made and school is back in session as well as the lawns being scattered with leaves. Now is the prime time to ensure the health of your lawn, trees and landscape.

The first step it to ensure the canvas is left blank and ready to go for winter and spring. This entails cutting down trees that have died or become infected with disease or pest as well as trimming branches in trees. This leaves the canvas healthy and blank for the next year. Tree removal and trimming is best left to the professionals.

Next engage your lawn with some food. The worst thing to happen is to your lawn awakening in the spring with “feed me Semour screams”. The first application of fertilizer should be done in the middle of September with the next application happening before the frost has set in, around the end of November.

It is also important to reseed areas that have incurred damage from the sun. In order to reseed successfully loosen the soil and add seed on top of the loosened soil. Then add another layer of soil to the top. This will assist in the seed taking root.

Keep watering the lawn until the frost is here to stay. The lawn should be moist as it heads into winter but not saturated. Saturating the lawn will create a perfect environment for mold growth. Don’t automatically assume since Labor Day has come and gone that our house should be put away.

Don’t prune! Pruning is meant to encourage growth and going into a season where plants, shrubs and trees are going to be dormant the last thing you should do is encourage growth. Wait to prune until spring time rolls around. Dead wood however, is better to take off in the fall so as said before tree trimming and tree removal is best to be done now. This will prevent the perfect living environment for bugs to live and hide; dead wood.

The fall season is the perfect time to transplant items within your landscape and to divide larger plants such as ferns and hostas. This helps in allowing the root system take hold for spring growth. On a side note now is the perfect time to invite friends to share their overgrown goods with your landscape.

Mulch is an important part of fall preparations. Mulching around trees ensuring that the mulch is shaped in a donut leaving room around the trunk and not like a volcano. This allows the tree to be a less likely home and meal for small critters as it is not comfy at the trunk. Mulch is also best to be applied in flower beds in the fall before the hard freeze. It will help prevent the plant root systems and ensure they are vibrant and healthy for the spring.

Add any bulbs that are required to be planted in the fall for spring growth. Tulips and daffodils are some that add great color in the spring when the landscape is just awakening and color is still bleak and unseen in the grass and trees.

Fall landscape preparations make for an easy transition in the spring. A little preparation goes a long way with your landscape and most things for that matter.

All Things Involved In Civil Litigation

Posted on by Creative Programs and Systems - Updated

Civil Litigation is a category that encompasses so many different aspects of law. Basically civil litigation breaks down to mean that two or more parties are having a legal dispute and are seeking monetary damages or precise actions to be carried out rather than seeking any criminal actions being sought. Attorney’s specializing in this type of law are known as trial lawyers or sometimes as litigators. When are a civil litigations attorney you represent your clients in all aspects of the proceedings including any and all trials, hearings, mediations and arbitrations. You could be seen in front of local, state, federal and even foreign agencies.
Civil litigation is a broad spectrum covering many varied issues that arise between two or more parties. When seeking retribution attorney’s can represent clients in all types of matters such as: Landlord and tenant issues, issues regarding the environment, product failure, injuries one sustains to one self, construction matters, medical malpractice suits, issues in labor and employment law, real estate and anti-trust/probate issues.
As an attorney in civil litigation you are often challenged. It is assumed that you will be an expert for your client and with that you become an expert in many different situations pertaining to the law. You are basically trying to win a debate. You will assume an opposite position and have to embrace the controversy and conflict that comes with it in representing your client (s). As a civil litigation attorney you will be working with other attorney’s and paralegals to best develop your position/side of the debate. The job of a litigation lawyer is one that includes a great deal of stress and abundant hours.
As with any type of case being handled in the court of law, litigation of a civil nature goes through a process of stages. Civil litigation has seven specific stages it follows and going through the process can range anywhere from a few months to several years to achieve result. The stages can be broken down as such: investigation, pleadings, discovery, pre-trial, trial, settlement and if desired appeal. Not every suit will go through every phase. If you are lucky the case could reach a verdict/settlement before going through the trial process.
Watching shows on television would lead you to believe that most of the attorney’s time is spent in trial however this is far from the truth. The most time in a civil case is spent in discovery. This is the time when information is pulled and accessible to both parties to review. It is a time that is labor intensive and attention to detail is of utmost importance.
As with any specialty in law there are certain character traits that help you a grown and become better at what you do. The best thing you can do for yourself if interested in becoming a civil litigator is to start embracing procedural law. To be an attorney of any degree you must have strong oral skills as well as being able to be an empathetic advocate. The ability to reason and think logically will help you in the discovery process as well as assisting communication with your client. Use and develop these skills to assist in your growth as a litigator.

LTL Freight and LTL Carriers Explained

Posted on by Creative Programs and Systems - Updated

LTL is an acronym that stands for less than truckload. What this means to small businesses and to individuals such that have items that are heavy and overly expensive to ship via conventional methods is that even without a full truck load the items can get shipped. This is especially important for small to medium leveled companies that ship items frequently but never enough to fill an entire truck. Most often loads over one hundred pounds will be shipped in this method. A truck load fills up with a bunch of smaller shipments to form an entire load. Once the freight carrier collects the shipment they are consolidate on one freight trailer for transport to its desired locations.
Learning about LTL shipping is important to help ensure that when shipping items that don’t fill an entire truck load but are over one hundred pounds that your shipment is handled appropriately getting to the proper location. LTL shipping is not only meant for companies. Individual residential clients can also be served by LTL shippers. Consider shipping a large handmade china cabinet or toy box to grandchildren that live far away; you will need to use a shipper that handles small, heavy loads to get it where it needs to go. That is where LTL shippers come in.
The first step in shipping through a LTL carrier is to determine the weight of your freight. Freight is defined as packages over one hundred pounds. It is in your best interest to know the dimensions as well. Write down the width, height and length of the package as well as the weight. This will help when pricing different LTL shippers.
Nest you will need to find a local shipper of light loads in your area. This is most easily done by searching LTL freight carriers in Google, Bing, Yahoo or the search engine of your preference. Once you have determined local shippers that you are interested in shipping with fill in the online freight information to get an estimate price on shipping. Doing this online you will find it easier to compare between different freight carriers without the hassle of moving your freight from one carrier to another.
Once you have settled on a rate and shipper that you have decided to go with call a sales representative from the carrier. You can sign up for an account online and a rep from the company will contact you or you can contact the company directly.
When you are in contact with the sales representative from the shipping company that will ask you what the rate was that you have been quoted from the online application. The information will be taken down and confirmed. If you will need help with the freight let the carrier know that you will need a forklift. At this point the carrier representative will book and confirm a date and time that your freight will be set to ship.
The carrier will most likely send preparation guidelines on how your freight needs to be packaged for shipping. Often times a carrier will require that the shipment is secured to a pallet to help ensure for ease of movement during the shipping process. You will be able to track your freight as it moves through the process of meeting its final destination and so may the recipient so that when the shipment arrives they are able to pick it up. Remember that LTL shipping most often refers to shipping domestically. Foreign freight may need to go through a different process depending on customs and carriers.

Remodeling Over Moving

Posted on by Creative Programs and Systems - Updated

When we bought our home we did not consider the space within the home as much as we did the space outside the home. The landscape was to die for. When we look out on one side of the home there is a heavenly forest; thick with ever tree known to the Northern states and to the other was a beautiful flowing river that leads to 5 different sporting lakes. It really did not matter at the time what the inside looked like as we were purchasing the land. I am sure this has happened to many people just like us.
Now some years later, I am not saying as it ages me a great deal, the landscape is still wonderful but the desire to make the inside of the home ours has come. Instead of moving to a home that is to die with substandard views we have decided to look into home renovations.
Remodeling your home saves you money in the long run. It also saves you the hassles of moving. The structure of the home can be kept intact in most home remodels. Even if the entire layout is to be rearranged and rooms or additions added on to the general walls of the home are there.
With the space we were renovating the first issue we wanted to address is that there was not a bathroom on the first floor. With our aging bodies this was just not a feasible option to go without any longer. So the bathroom addition began on the first floor. For us this turned out to be fairly easy. We had a huge coat closet that backed to a walk in pantry. The space was “easily” turned into a full size first floor bathroom.
The next move was to include a master suite on the first floor. The first floor consisted of a dining room that to us was wasted space. We do a lot of family dinners but the weather is beautiful for most of the year allowing us to access the large screened in porch for this. The dining room along with a first floor guest room was turned into a master suite and bathroom combination that we were ecstatic to have!
With the addition of our first floor master suite we had taken away a bedroom that needed to be replaced. This was easy as the space above our garage was a perfect option for a lofty guest bedroom allowing us to turn our previous master suite into a sitting room/library. The bedroom renovations made the home feel incredibly room as we were now occupying a space in a manner we had never imagined before. The attic above the garage was wasted all those years.
One of my favorite renovations in the home has been the kitchen. We had become accustomed to a small kitchen. This was alleviated by blowing out a two outside walls in the kitchen and moving them out. With this it allowed us to accommodate the beautiful river view into the remodel. The kitchen now has large window and allow natural light and nature to be with us. We added counter top seating and overall space to entertain. The kitchen renovation really opened up the home and allowed the reason we loved the outside space to become a part of the interior.
The renovations were not always easy. As many people know being in a state of chaos is a lot. We did manage to stay sane and find respite staying with friends during parts of the renovation where walls were coming down and it was just generally too much to bare. We did manage a long two week vacation as well during the remodel which helped bring back into focus the big picture. Be sure to have little escapes planned as you embark on the home renovation project. I guarantee it will bring peace back to your life and marriage.

Maintenance Free Aluminum Fencing

Posted on by Creative Programs and Systems - Updated

If you are looking for a maintenance free fencing system for your landscape you can easily get it with the installation of aluminum fence panels. This type of fence is ideal for homeowners who love the beauty and traditional flare of wrought iron but want something maintenance free that they are not worried will rust. When homeowners are looking into aluminum fence they often are concerned that the fence will be super expensive, not as sturdy as its wrought iron counterpart and that it won’t be available in the color and size panels they desire. This article will cover those concerns for homeowners.
One of the nice things about aluminum fencing is that it is available to be purchase in several different grades. Sort of like when buying carpet, you can purchase the material in a good, better, best grade type scale. This helps homeowners keep it within the desired budget while getting a product that is long lasting and maintenance free.
Another budget benefit to think of is that with the fence being maintenance free you save money in the long run with paint, stain and replacement. Panel fencing made out of aluminum is guaranteed not to rust, warp or wear out. It is so nice to know you will never have to think about the aluminum gate and fence system once it is installed. It is basically maintenance free.
Aluminum fence is an incredibly sturdy product. With four different grade levels you can purchase our fence panels in different levels of sturdiness depending on the application and placement of the fence. When it comes to pool fencing a sturdier residential aluminum grade should be considered. Aluminum pool fencing will have to withstand small children and constant abuse as it is used on a daily basis. A lower grade fence can be used in applications where the fence is purely decorative or being used only to keep a barrier in place around the landscape. This fence will not be climbed on and tugged at as pool fencing is. Commercial grade fencing can be used in applications around the home but most of the time this is an over kill and unnecessary.
Although aluminum fence panels are able to be installed by the do it yourselfers it is relatively inexpensive when considering the cost of the fence materials to have a professional fence installation company install your homes new fence. Fence panels do come with many parts put together in a pre-assembled manner however professionals know exactly what they are doing and can provide application practices that come only with experience.
Another issue that arises when thinking about adding fencing is the attractiveness of the material and design aesthetics. Decorative aluminum fencing comes in a vast array of colors and style options. Upon selecting our fence the issue will most likely be that you have too many options available instead of not enough. Select a color and design that will grow with your home and will not easily become out dated.
On the off chance your fence is damaged aluminum panels are easy to repair and match up. Storm damage is the most common reason that fence panels would be damaged. A tree or large branch will dominate the strength of any fencing material so in a storm the fence will lose. When it comes to materials in fencing consider the value, quality and budget friendliness check out aluminum fence panels.
