Pilot and The Ledger-Star, Norfolk, VA – great fashion isn't just for the young
0 Comments | The Virginian-Pilot and The Ledger-Star, Norfolk, VA, Jul 20, 2010 | by JAMESETTA M WALKER
Q. Your July 7 column about dressing cool was great for many young people. It seems that all fashion columns address the young people, but rarely do I see anything for people over 50 or 60. I would love to see some advice for my age group about dressing in style for our age without looking frumpy or having to rely on the preppy look.
I am fortunate that I work out at the gym, am trim and firm for my age and can wear sleeveless attire. However, there are those who are not as fit and need suggestions for stylish clothing. Sometimes teenage and young adult clothing is not the thing for us. A lot of tops and dresses are dynamite, but only look terrific on people with long hair. Most women my age have short hair, be it tinted or gray.
I am attending a wedding in July and will be relying on the little black dress, but would like to have some updated jewelry to set off the dress. Also, there are other occasions you could address for older ladies and men who want to look stylish but not be in competition with their daughters and sons.

When you are experiencing heart burn problems, you will typically want something that also works quickly.
Many people who experience heart burn problems frequently keep a bottle of antacid tablets handy for quick relief, but if you prefer an herbal remedy, there are several. Fennel has been used as an acid reflux and heart burn cure by the natives of many different countries. Fennel seeds are available at most supermarkets and from companies that sell other herbs and natural remedies. Fennel seeds can be used to make a soothing tea and products containing fennel oil, specifically for use as a quick relief for heart burn problems, are also available.
Peppermint has long been used as an acid reflux and heart burn cure. Peppermint can be grown in an herb garden and relief from heart burn problems may be achieved by chewing on some washed leaves or stems or by adding it to your fennel tea. It is best to avoid caffeinated teas when experiencing heart burn, since caffeinated beverages may increase the stomach acid and increase the heart burn problems. Peppermint oil is also an ingredient in many over the counter acid reflux and heart burn cures.

Develop A Link Worthy Site
Your site will gain links without asking for them when your site is viewed as an industry resource, or a great place to learn about products in your industry, or has a unique online tool for the industry. If your site is full of wonderful, useful information other sites will naturally link to it without you even asking. This is by far the most effective link building technique because the search engines are all about favoring “in demand” content!
Affiliate Programs
Finally if you are serious about your link building campaign, set up an affiliate/referral program. You may have seen a small banner ad on a site saying “Buy this book at Amazon.com.” When you click on this message, Amazon.com pays that affiliate a commission on every sale made from those referrals to their site. This is the essence of an affiliate/referral program.
Businesses that want to make sales without all the hassles will sign up for your affiliate program and place a link from their Website to yours.

DIY bunglers risk reducing property's value
DIY bunglers risk reducing property’s value
0 Comments | Herald, The; Glasgow (UK), May 1, 2010 | by name 123 title 777
THOUSANDS of Britons have carried out home improvements in the hope of boosting the value of their property, but many may actually have reduced it, says an insurer.
Around 27% of homeowners admit they have undertaken electrical jobs without professional help, while 22% have attempted plumbing work, and 9% have tried their hand at structural improvements, such as removing walls.
A further 6% have even tried to carry out major building work themselves, such as a loft conversion, while 3% have tackled potentially dangerous gas repairs, according to LV=.
But the group warned that while many homeowners had carried out the improvements in the hope of increasing the value of their property, if the work was done badly it could actually reduce a home’s value by as much as 5%.
John O’Roarke, managing director of LV= home insurance, said: “With house prices falling or stagnating in some parts of the UK, it’s understandable that many homeowners should try to bump up the value of their properties through DIY home improvements.
“Not only could bungling these jobs be dangerous, and costly to put right, but if they caused a serious problem it could invalidate the home insurance cover.”
Even if the work is done well, homeowners are likely to be disappointed with the impact it has on the price of their property. A fifth thought redecorating would add most value to their home, followed by 14% who thought refurbishing the kitchen would do so, while 12% thought improving the garden would have the most impact on their asking price and 6% rated replacing the bathroom.
But seven out of 10 estate agents said redecorating would make no difference to the value, while 64% believed the same about landscaping the garden. One in five estate agents also thought a new kitchen would have little impact.
Instead estate agents thought structural work, if done well, was most likely to boost a property’s value, with a good loft conversion likely to increase the asking price by around 8%.
But even then, they warned homeowners were unlikely to recoup all the money they had spent on having it done.
Opinium Research questioned 2,012 people in March and PCP Research questioned 205 estate agents in March.

Make sure it's all safely gathered in
Make sure it’s all safely gathered in

With the imminent start of the main grain harvest and the release of Health and Safety Executive figures on the number of farm fatalities, Farm-Web – the network of agricultural insurance brokers – has issued a list of hints for harvest safety.
The 2009/10 figures issued by the HSE this month showed an increase in the number of deaths of agricultural workers to a total of 38.
Voicing her concern, Farm-Web’s chief executive Elaine Simons said: “The increase is truly shocking and often it’s a case of simply being in too much of a hurry – and we can all relate to that.
“It’s particularly stressful at harvest and the temptation to cut corners is high, but it’s just not worth it.
“The cost of deaths and severe injuries to families, individual businesses and the industry as a whole is unacceptable.”
This is the FarmWeb advice list: The number of casual staff employed increases at busy times such as harvest. Make sure they are properly trained and briefed for the tasks they are expected to undertake. Be aware of the legislation relating to moving wide vehicles, whereby any vehicle, for example a combine, over 3.5 metres wide, when travelling on public roads, should have another vehicle accompanying it. Where the journey is more than five miles, the police should be notified in advance. When driving large or lengthy equipment such as combines or tractors and trailers on the roads, make sure other drivers are easily aware of your vehicle. Check flashing beacons are working on both the front and rear of the vehicles (particularly important for long vehicles) and put marker boards both back and front.
When working under pressure, it is all too easy to forget to take keys out of a vehicle. Remember, leaving keys in vehicles is likely to negate insurance cover.
Ensure windows, lights and ventilation equipment are kept clean so the driver or operator’s visibility is as good as it can be.
Fire is a huge hazard in the harvest field, so fit small extinguishers to tractors and equipment. It may provide valuable extra minutes before the fire brigade arrives, or even save a life.
Consider putting a temporary water bowser or tank in the field where work is taking place. In case of fire, it could buy you crucial extra time. It is frustrating when machinery breaks at a busy time but do not be tempted to rush in to fix it. Take an extra second or two to disconnect the power so there are no moving parts before tackling the problem.
If possible, alert someone about what has happened and what you are planning to do.
Don’t be saggy and baggy. Loose, saggy clothing is a magnet for moving machinery, so make sure your clothes are not going to prove a danger. Ensure power shafts and augers are properly guarded. A flapping sleeve could be disastrous.
Make sure your load is secure, even if only travelling a very short distance. Loads that are not secure risk spillage and roll- over.
Be aware of overhead power lines when tipping trailers or moving equipment that could touch.
Make sure you have a first aid kit close at hand

Ripped off and underpaid
0 Comments | Dominion Post; Wellington, New Zealand, Jul 3, 2009
Much is made of the great divide that separates Australia from New Zealand. Each year thousands of Kiwis head across the ditch in search of higher wages and warmer weather, though some, like me, are returning.
Many economic and lifestyle indicators are used to explain the appeal of Australia to Kiwis. I offer another – dry-cleaning.
I’m astounded at the cost of getting clothes dry-cleaned here – it’s up to NZ$14 for one pair of trousers in central Wellington, with a turnaround time of four days. Compare this with the cost of cleaning three pairs of trousers for A$18 with a same-day service in Melbourne’s CBD
