Hydro-excavation

Every now and then we like to discuss topics that are pertinent to the environment and that will not only generate buzz for companies but can also generate jobs for people. Did you know that the oil and gas industry is booming in Dallas? So much that in parts of Dallas there is a huge supply of natural gas thousands of feet below the ground and a large supply of oil in addition to natural gas.

Since these resources are abundant, there is significant drilling being done in these areas and pipelines are needed to transport these resources. The safe an very effective way to do this is through hydro-excavation as this process meets the excavation needs of pipeline construction companies in these area. In short, hydro-excavation is safe digging with high pressure water and vacuum. This process is also referred to as soft digging or non destructive digging.

Hopefully this technique not only works well for the environment but also brings about more jobs and opportunities for people who live in and around the area.

Being Comfortable is Important When Working

I worked in the medical field for several years before becoming a stay at home/work at home mom and when I say the scrubs I had to wear were very uncomfortable, I speak from experience.

The scrubs I had to wear were unisex and very boxy - definitely not comfortable or flattering. I had always wished there would be scrubs made more for a woman and now there is. The more uncomfortable I was, the less I wanted to be at work.

Too late for me to enjoy but for any woman who is in the medical field, I found lab coats, scrub sets, and even nursing uniforms - these not only fit perfectly but are comfortable as well.

This is such a huge deal for women. No more wearing boxy, unflattering scrubs and lab coats. Finally, something stylish!

Talladega

Posted by Von Battle

I logged onto http://www.satelliteinternetbroadband.com/hughesnet/Alabama/ and got satellite internet. We have never had internet at our house, but I usually just check my e-mail at work. Now that we have the internet, I was able to log on when tickets to our favorite event in Alabama became available.

Our favorite event is so cliché, but it is the Nascar race at Talladega. Usually, I try to make it to the ticket office and everyone who has bought tickets on line gets the best seats. We get descent seats, but not the ones that I would really like to have. So this year, I knew when they were going to be out, got on the internet and got great seats. We are right about the finish line about forty-five rows back. For a Nascar race, that isn’t too far back. You can actually see the track better.

Nascar is really noisy and it is better to be farther away from the track so that you don’t have to wear noise cancelling earphones. We just can’t wait for the race this year. It is going to be awesome!

Tips on Buying the Right Patio Furniture Covers

Are you a resident in of the areas that get strong winds, extreme cold or heat, or heavy rains? Whether you experience one or all of these weather demons, you still enjoy the outdoors. For this reason, many homeowners furnish their outdoors using patio furniture. You will want to cover patio furniture if you are to protect it against weather. How then do you go about getting the right outdoor patio furniture covers?

Here, some tips.

• Get into the habit of always going for high quality. Cheap covers may seem as ideal for saving some money in the short run, but all that changes the following year if you have to reinvest.
• Always get covers that slightly bigger than your furniture. Measurements on the packaging are often the maximum.
• Buy covers that will protect your furniture from UV rays. Such covers will keep your furniture from fading.
• If you live in windy areas, go for covers with strings.
• In times of extreme weather conditions, it is wiser to keep your outdoor patio furniture in a garden shed or garage than covering.
