Are you building your kitchen and are looking for advice. You would by now realize that the core of any kitchen is the cabinets, appliances and worktop. Identifying these would take a bit of skill. A search on the internet would give you a wide range of varieties, the costs offered by various companies and even retailers of the product.


    In case of entire kitchen; check the company. Ask for contacts of previous customers as they would give you a better idea about the product.

    Get a person from the company visit you rather than some one from the showroom.

    You have a vision for your kitchen; then tell it to the designer. Collaborate with the designer on the requirements and design you visualize. Get it incorporated into the plan.

    A good show room gives you good items and will not talk you into getting things that they have on display.

    Good items come at a cost. Your search on the internet could lead you to a good deal as well.

    When you get the items; verify and see if there are any damaged or missing items. In case of damage ask the retailer to replace it.

    Do not pay them the entire amount. With hold 20 percent of the fee till the entire process is complete.

    For the work; draw up a schedule and synchronize the work. Whenever there is a concern about the work; raise the concern to set things right again.



Cabinets

Aesthetic sense of a kitchen depends on the type of cabinets you choose. Options are colored/stained; Maple/Oak or any other wood and Stock/Custom made.


    Stock cabinets will be delivered to you within a week of placing the order.

    Semi-custom cabinets would require changing a few features like handles, hinges and other items. This would take around two weeks of time

    Fully custom cabinets would take around six to ten weeks of time. The advantage of a fully custom cabinet is that it can fit into the architectural work and design of an old kitchen.



Worktops/Counter Tops

It is wise to select a material that will withstand years of use; with the least maintenance requirement. It should also be easily repairable if an accident occurs.

    Combine two or more counter top materials in one kitchen. This could be varied colors or textures placed adjacent to each other to create a visual interest. It could also complement with the cabinets, floor, wall paper or paint selections.

    Consider the combination of decorative materials like granite, marble or tiles with solid surface for visual effect, durability and easy maintenance.

    If you have budget constraints; use the highest quality material for areas that will be used the most. For the other counter areas you could go for less expensive materials.

    High cost materials include Granite, Stainless steel, Marble (slabs), solid surface media and wood blocks. The cost is because these are smooth surfaces, do not scratch easily, are heat resistant, and in some cases do not absorb stains or oils. Among these only solid surface medium can be easily repairable.

    Solid surface media and wood blocks can also be obtained in budget rates. Other budget materials include solid surface laminates, Tiles, and plastic laminates. Plastic laminates, wood blocks are not heat resistant and plastic is not repairable.

    The quality of the counter top edge treatment is also important. Choose materials that will withstand constant exposure water and other house hold chemicals.



Appliances

Present day kitchens are not what they were years ago. Making a choice of an appliance depends on its utility in the present day kitchen. In fact you should design your kitchen keeping in mind the various appliances and the space for them.

    Energy efficiency is the key to most appliances. Costs have reduced drastically. Design and durability has been possible with newer technologies.

    The type of energy (Gas or Electric kitchen accessories) determines the rate as well.

    Size of the appliance and usage matters. Kitchen appliances have been made for hotels and houses as well. Choose electric ice cream maker, sandwich makers, and food processors according to your need. Just as you get best deals on food processors from the internet, you can also get sandwich maker recipes.

    Know your appliance; performance and maintenance are major criteria.

    Wooden kitchen utensils and porcelain utensils make appear aesthetic but may be a problem with dish washers.

There have been reports of General Motors planning on building Chevrolet vehicles and cars in Poland. In fact, this has been acceded when a spokesperson from the company said that, indeed, the car manufacturer is already in advanced talks with UkrAvto, a Ukranian car manufacturer. They would be having a joint venture so as to produce Chevrolet vehicles in the mentioned country.


This spokesperson continued by stating, “We are talking to them and are making good progress in the talks.” He even stressed that General Motors would be creating Chevrolet vehicles in Poland which would be new entrants to various levels in Europe.


Primarily, this would be a good move for General Motors. After all, they are spending much on the transportation of their Chevrolet vehicles. At present, all Chevrolet vehicles that are for the European market are still being imported from South Korea. With production held in Poland, everything would be much easier for the car manufacturer.


Speculations are circulating that one of the vehicles that would be built in Poland for the European car market would include the Chevrolet Aveo, which is the brand’s entrant to the small car category. There are even predictions of being able to create around 25,000 units of this small car but the company is even targeting towards a much greater number.


However, all these plans on the manufacture of Chevrolet vehicles in Poland are becoming reality despite the fact that General Motors in Europe is facing problems with its assembly plant which is located in Portugal. They are spending much on that assembly plant in the mentioned area and the company is even planning on shutting down that plant by October this year. The only way that they could keep the plant up and running would be if both the government of that country and its workers would be able to cut down the costs of manufacturing.


Meanwhile, for the greatest deals on Chevy body parts and Chevy truck parts, owners and aficionados could run to Auto Parts Information. This store also has an excellently-trained customer service staff to assist you in your needs.

You’ve never been to Colorado, but have just decided that you’ll follow your instincts and travel there for your next vacation. There are several resort towns to choose from; some sound posh, others more welcoming to families, but they all sound nice. Your eyes scan the map, and then settle on a little dot in the northwest corner. Steamboat Springs. Hmmmm, it sounds quaint, a little rustic, and somehow friendlier than some of the other towns. That’s it, you’ve decided. This is the place you’re going to go.

Excellent choice, daydreamer. Your gut has led you to the right spot for alpine beauty and awesome activities within a charming, historic, small-town setting. Steamboat Springs, also known as Ski Town, USA, is as grounded as a place can be considering it exists at such a high altitude. The people are nice, the views are enchanting, and you’ll never suffer a dull moment thanks to all the outdoor pursuits and indoor diversions.

Let’s say you’re visiting during the summer, a fine time to capitalize on the mild weather, abundant sunshine, and boundless energy of the town. You’d like to attend some of the festivals that seem to go on for much of the year, and perhaps learn to kayak. Also, there are rumors of a strange contraption that combines a trampoline with bungee jumping, and as you’ve always been too afraid to jump off a cliff with your ankles tied to what amounts to a giant rubber band, you think you’d like to give this slingshot-thingy a try.

You also heard that there are nearly 70 bars and restaurants to choose from in the town, and as going out to eat is one of your favorite parts of vacationing, you are looking forward to sampling the offerings that other people will be cooking. The city also has lots of shops that will provide you with those ever-important souvenirs, and a couple of museums that you’d like to spend some time in.

With all this in mind, it is important that you find a place to stay that will not only house you comfortably and allow you to forget about the rest of the bustling world, but will keep you connected to the town you are so interested in exploring. You want to feel relaxed and truly away from it all, but don’t want to have to drive around or take a shuttle on very many occasions, if at all. Can you really have it both ways?

Of course you can. It’s called renting a vacation home that is conveniently located to all that you want to see and do. This condo, cottage, bungalow, or whatever it is you decide on, can also have all the amenities you’ll need to keep you feeling comfortable, and if you like, as pampered as the movie stars staying in one of those other resort towns.

Picture a log cabin with an expansive deck overlooking a trickling creek. Vaulted ceilings, an oversized bathtub, and a deluxe barbeque grill might make you wish for a few more days away from your regular digs. Read a novel as you bask in the sun, walk to a nearby hiking trail, and enjoy a cocktail in your own kitchen. That was one afternoon…what will all the others hold?

Visit this prime property in winter or summer, but remember that some of the best deals are to be had in the “off” season. Basically, this is good for warm weather hikers and not so good for ski-bunnies, but with such a variety of properties to choose from, you should be able to find what you’re looking for at any point in the year. A winter visit might prove to be such a great time that you’ll return for a second helping of Steamboat Springs come summer, and obtaining the same condo for vastly discounted rates will make your trip just a little sweeter.

It sounds like your vacation fantasizing is really going to pay off. You let fate decide that you should go to Steamboat Springs, and now you’ll let your budget and your researching decide where to stay once you get there. Simply go online and peruse the many Steamboat Springs Vacation Rental options that exist out there, and get ready to fall into step with one of the warmest and most charming places in Colorado.

Credibility One Of The Most Over Looked Items In Real Estate

 Fragrance  Comments Off on Credibility One Of The Most Over Looked Items In Real Estate

There are several different ways I built credibility.

First of all, like it or not, people make value judgements about you before you even open your mouth. Think about it. What preconceived ideas do you have about a bag lady vs. a movie star? You get an image but the reality is you don’t really know anything about them. It is in your best interest to present a well-groomed professional image and make sure your staff members comply as well.

This professional image extends to the meeting location you choose, the marketing items you provide, and your presentation.

This is whether you want to borrow money, buy their house or sell them a home.

The first verbal message should be to gain rapport with the guests. I share that I have lived in the area for 10 years and I have kids in school. I establish credibility as a member of the community. We are in this together. If you lose, I lose – and I’m not gonna lose because I have a lot at stake.

The actual presentation sends one clear, consistent message such as “you loan me money and I’ll give you high interest payments”. That’s it. While I have other facets to my business and other interests, I do not waiver in my message.

Sending a straightforward message in an easy-to-understand way, to convey credibility because there is no “small print.” You let them know this is a simple program. These are the simple forms. This is the way it works. Period.

Current action conveys credibility. I always mention one of my most recent deals which is usually that I bought and/or sold a property yesterday or within the last few days.

In my presentation I acknowledge their fears and openly address a big one when I show the slide that says, “What Happens to my Investment if Alan Dies.” They usually chuckle because they thought of that but didn’t want to say it. I let them know that the corporation is structured to sell properties and their principle and interest will be paid as agreed. Talk about credibility. Have I not crossed all the T’s and dotted all the I’s with this presentation?

Also, If you say you are going to do it, DO IT.

Someone might be testing you by loaning a small amount just to see if you are for real. Make sure you send them their interest check at exactly the agreed upon time for the correct amount. I’ve seen this happen time and time again where the lender comes back a couple months later with more money. Then a few months later they come back with even more money. You must prove that you are for real and that you do what you say.

If you break that trust, it’s over.

Finally, I build credibility by being reachable. I have an office that they can stop by. I have an answering service that picks up my calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and relays important messages quickly. I have a web site where the lender can see what I’m doing and, they can send me email and I respond promptly.

Credibility is powerful… Learn to use it to your advantage.

3 Tips to Avoiding Online Scams

 Fragrance  Comments Off on 3 Tips to Avoiding Online Scams
Mar 172024
 

It is amazing how susceptible people are to get-rich-quick scams and how good they seem at first. Every year thousands risk and lose money they can’t afford to lose, while seeking that “next big thing.” There has never been a get-rich-quick scam that didn’t appear awesome on the surface. This is because the designers of these scams are a great deal better at camouflaging these bad deals than most people are at discovering them.

How can you steer clear of such scams? “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding” (Proverbs 3:5). Below is a short list of a few straightforward rules to help you avoid get-rich-quick scams.
· Stay with what you know
“By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established” (Proverbs 24:3). Seldom will anyone be suckered into a get-rich-quick scam in his or her area of expertise. Most people who make money do it in the area in which they have the most knowledge and experience. Those who fail more often than not do so in an field where they understand only a small amount (if anything) about.

· Don’t make quick decisions
“The plans of the diligent lead surely to advantage, but everyone who is hasty comes surely to poverty” (Proverbs 21:5). The fundamental nature of a get-rich-quick scam is emotion. The advertiser advises the prospective customer to take action immediately otherwise the chance may be missed. The last tactic is to play on a persons greed by hinting that another is waiting to snap up this once in a lifetime chance. What is the best way to avoiding this type of ploy? “Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him; do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who carries out wicked schemes” (Psalm 37:7).

· Seek expert guidance
“The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man is he who listens to counsel” (Proverbs 12:15). It is surprising how fast somebody that is not blandly involved with a get-rich-quick scam can spot its flaws. Expert, impartial counsel must be a requirement before any important financial decision.
Many of the most successful men in the world were well versed in the proverbs. Albert
Einstein and Benjamin Franklin to name only two. If you do not know it the Proverbs
were written by King Solomon. He is the wisest and wealthiest man to ever live. His gold reserves alone would be worth almost a trillion dollars today. Can you find a better mentor? I don’t think so. “It is the blessing of the Lord that makes rich, and He adds no sorrow to it” (Proverbs 10:22).

The Top Four Ways to Maximize the Success Potential of Your Small Business

 Fragrance  Comments Off on The Top Four Ways to Maximize the Success Potential of Your Small Business
Mar 162024
 

There is a difference between small businesses that are just making it, and companies that are truly taking off. This difference commonly lies in the strategy being used to maximize the success potential of the business. Such strategies are made up of important techniques – primarily the four following – that allow a small business to make sure that it is functioning at its very best.

To be sure that your business is maximizing its potential, employ the following practices as a part of your own business strategy:

• Make sure that your business offers knowledge or services along with its products. No matter what industry or niche your company happens to fill, you will need to make sure that you have information and services to offer your customers that are different from your competitors. Success, especially when marketing on the internet, is all about having something to offer, whether it’s knowledge, services, or something else. This will also help you to be seen as an expert. The more you are perceived as having expertise, the greater the trust you will have from your clients, and the stronger those relationships will be.

• Don’t just say that you care about your customers. Care about your customers! This is one of the most far-reaching methods that you can use for growing your small business. Though your prospective and current customers are important to your business because of their money, you need to show them that they are important to you for more than just that. They need to simply be important to you; period. This means being honest with your customers, and telling them the truth about the ways in which you are able to fill their needs. Put your focus on helping the individual, not simply the majority of customers. Your efforts need to move from making a sale to helping the person. Remember, it is much easier to create a repeat client than it is to create a new client!

• Make going above and beyond a policy. If you want to make your small business stand out from the rest, then you need the superior quality of your products and services to shine through. Make your aim to over-deliver, every time. Remember that customers love feeling as though they’ve received a good deal. This can mean discounted prices, valuable bonuses, or surprise free gifts with purchase.

• Maintain regular contact with your customers. Using e-mail, direct mailers, catalogs, promotional flyers, “preferred customer” coupons, and other communication tools, it is easy to provide your customers with regular contact, informing them of great deals you’re offering, while reminding them that you’re around. Make these communications worth while by offering free tips, discounts, and other useful ideas.

The main idea is that if you want to achieve your greatest success in your small business, offer expertise, care for your customers, deliver beyond your customers’ expectations, and keep in touch. These are the difference between maintaining your business, and growing your business.

Britney Jean Spears was born on December 2, 1981. She is a Grammy Award-winning pop artist. Though she has had acting and writing credits, she is primarily known for her studio albums, music videos, chart-topping pop songs, and provocative stage performances. Her first single hit, “…Baby One More Time,” hit #1 in 1998.

Born in Mississippi and raised in Louisiana, Spears was an accomplished gymnast competing in state-level competitions before breaking out into the music scene. Spears earned public renown when she joined the New Mickey Mouse Club in the early 90’s. In 1992, she would win the first round of Star Search, but would lose in the second round. After the show ended, Spears took a five year break before storming the music scene. Spears’ debut album, “Baby One More Time” sold over 28 million copies worldwide, propelled by its lead single, “…Baby One More Time”, as well as the follow up hit single, “(You Drive Me) Crazy”. Spears’ sophomore album, “Oops!…I Did It Again” would go on to sell 24 million units worldwide, led by hit singles such as “Opps!…I Did It Again”, “Lucky”, and “Stronger”. By the early 2000’s, she had gained huge commercial success and public appeal, inking deals with big companies such as Pepsi.

In late 2001, Spears released her third album, “Britney”, which would go on to sell over 746,000 copies in its first week in the U.S. The success of Spears’ third album debut made her the only female ever in SoundScan history to have her first three albums debut at #1 on the charts.

True Yoga for Enlightenment and better health

“India a land of yogis and mystics” is a quote familiar with the western press. Known for its magical feats and the famous rope trick, India is a land that has always exuded charm. Yoga is a tradition in India and is seen as a means to enlightenment. Yoga is of four basic types, Karma, Bhakti, Jnana and Raja Yoga. Karma deals with action in the world, Jnana deals with knowledge and intellectual endeavor, Bhakti deals with devotion to a deity and Raja yoga deals with meditation. Modern Yoga has taken on a new connotation devoid of any spiritualist with the asanas or postures of hatha yoga included in fitness regimen. This has essentially led to many self designed types of yoga and is a lucrative business. Yoga essentially means enlightenment and is central to Hinduism and offshoots of Hinduism. Modern Yoga practice has inherited a few elements from this ancient tradition. Breathing exercise (pranayama) and meditation is the most popular of these. Yoga has a unique ability to relax a person and this is adopted by persons who do not look for enlightenment but for its utility to health of mind and body



The goals of Yoga are expressed differently by different traditions. The goals of modernism are relaxation and distressing of a person. With this in mind we have a number of tailored programs. Yoga for beginners, Yoga for Women, Yoga for Children, Yoga for heart, etc. are the advertisements you would see to entice people to join a yoga fitness center. The common form of Yoga is the practice of concentration. The focus of meditation is different from school to school. Heart (anahata), or third eye (aina) are major points of focus, meditation on peace or Deities is another form. Hatha yoga was invented as purification so that meditation can be done with ease.



Physical purification, Moral Discipline, and meditation are the basics of yoga. There is a far wider reality which often gets forgotten in modern fitness practices. It is sorry to see that instead of holism practiced another view of yoga is propagated. Blinding the horse to see only in one direction is what the market forces have done to Yoga. Enlightenment is left far behind in our globalization and commercialization. Hatha yoga is only viewed for its health benefits and not for its enlightenment.
