The composition of phospholipid mixture is known to influence the lateral organization of the resulting biomembrane. In this study, the substrate-induced adhesion of two component vesicles composed of dimyristoyl-phosphatidylcholine/distearoyl-phosphatidylcholine (DMPC/DSPC) is probed by confocal reflectance interference microscopy (C-RICM), cross-polarized light microscopy and contact mechanics modeling. First, our contact mechanics model of adherent vesicle is validated for the two-component DMPC/DSPC vesicles. The incorporation of 10 mol% of DSPC in DMPC bilayer enhances both the degree of vesicle deformation and adhesion energy of the resulting two-component vesicle in comparison with those of one-component DMPC or DSPC vesicles. It is further illustrated that the compositional variation of the binary DMPC/DSPC mixture does not affect the contact mechanics parameters of adherent vesicles when the mole fraction of DSPC increases from 0 to 70%. Interestingly, the difference in the acyl chain length between the two lipids within the phospholipid mixture is directly correlated with the degree of vesicle deformation and adhesion energy. Overall, the biophysical responses of adherent vesicles are shown to be tunable by the bio-membrane composition and the carbon chain difference. © 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Goose hunt keeps flock in check
The early statewide season for Canada geese will open Sept. 1 and continue through Sept. 25. During this special season, hunters will be held to a daily bag limit of eight Canada geese and possession limit of 16.
Across the Poconos, the resident geese population continues to increase. Many communities and public launch and swimming areas experience bacterial and nutrient problems caused by the geese. Droppings foul docks and beaches and fecal coliform counts shut down swimming areas. While most communities prohibit hunting, the management is quick to admit that they could do with a few less geese.
Hunters can help curb geese numbers during this season designed specifically to aid in local population reduction. According to Game Commission biologists, "recent liberalizations in Canada goose hunting opportunities, along with local population control programs being implemented by many municipalities and public and private landowners, appear to be reducing the state's resident Canada goose population. The 2010-12, three-year average Pennsylvania spring resident Canada geese population was estimated at 232,820, which is 14 percent below the recent nine-year average of 271,049. However, the population remains significantly above the agency's management goal of 150,000.
Hunters can access some of the local populations by seeking permission to hunt private farms where geese feed in the fields and rest on ponds, or pursue the honkers on public land and water. Many areas of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area and state parks such as Promised Land are open to hunting. Safety zones must always be observed and hunters must use tact, but geese can be taken in good numbers in these areas.
A handful of decoys and a goose call can greatly increase the odds of getting birds within range. Non-toxic shot is required for geese hunting, and many waterfowlers are recognizing the superior ballistics of alloys over steel.
Dove hunters will have the opportunity to participate in a triple-split season this year with the first season set to run Sept. 1-29. Hunting will start at noon and close at sunset daily during this period. The second and third splits will be Oct. 27-Nov. 24, and Dec. 26-Jan. 5, with hunting hours a half-hour before sunrise until sunset. In all three seasons, the daily bag limit will be 15, and the possession limit will be 30.
There are plenty of doves around the Poconos but finding concentrations for a shot can be tough. One must scout hard to locate flight paths, roosting, feeding, watering and gritting zones.
Doves have simple lives and these are their top priorities. Hunters after geese and doves in a combo hunt must be aware of it not being legal to carry lead shot while hunting geese.

Palmetto crater is a small crater in the Descartes Highlands of the Moon visited by the astronauts of Apollo 16.  The name of the crater was formally adopted by the IAU in 1973.

On April 21, 1972, the Apollo 16 Lunar Module (LM) Orion landed about 1.5 km south of Palmetto, which is between the prominent North Ray and South Ray craters.  The astronauts John Young and Charles Duke explored the area over the course of three EVAs using a Lunar Roving Vehicle, or rover.  They drove along the rim of Palmetto on EVA 3, on their way to North Ray, but did not stop.  As they drove by, Duke said "There's a good ejecta blanket of half-meter-size boulders around the rim of Palmetto into some of these secondary craters here."  On the way back to the lunar module from North Ray, Duke took a sequence of photos of Palmetto while riding on the rover.

The crater was also used as a landmark by Apollo astronauts on previous missions.  It was designated landmark DE-1/12, and astronaut Dick Gordon tracked it photographically on revolutions 42 and 44 of the Apollo 12 mission.

Palmetto crater is approximately 760 m in diameter and approximately 130 m deep.  The similar-sized crater Gator lies 1 km to the southeast.

Palmetto cuts into the Cayley Formation of Imbrian age.

The detection of small amounts of DNA, the discovery of small changes in the structure of the DNA detected, and the sequencing of the DNA from individual patients, promises to revolutionize the diagnosis, management, and treatment of human disease. This will replace the "one size fits all" medicine that has patients being subjected to tests before a diagnosis is made, or suffering the side effects of medicines arising from their individuality.
Realizing the benefits of this revolution requires that the cost, speed, and sensitivity of DNA detection tools be enhanced, by orders of magnitude. In collaboration with its corporate collaborators, the FfAME is investigating and qualifying new technologies to meet the most demanding specifications for medicine of the future.
Directed evolution is a powerful technique for improving the activity, specificity and/or stability of proteins. We are developing a new method that integrates molecular phylogenetics to design DNA sequence libraries that will include the functional diversity of large, highly divergent protein families while still maintaining a high proportion of active variants (NIH).
One way to reduce the cost of personalized DNA sequencing is to sequence many genes at the same time. The Foundation is investigating a new way to do this through creative combinations of chemistry and enzymology (NIH).
FfAME scientists have invented chemistries that improve the selectivity and sensitivity of nucleic acid detection in singleplexed formats. These also improve the performance of multiplexed arrays. These chemistries are being implemented on the medium density arrays prepared using ink jet DNA array synthesizers.
FfAME scientists have developed what is today the only practical reversible terminator-polymerase combination that can support highly parallel sequencing-during synthesis.
FfAME scientist are developing light activated fluorescent reporters that should permit detection of specific components of a transcriptome inside living cells.
FfAME scientists have invented chemical solutions to many specific problems in nucleic acid manipulation and analysis. These include: (a) 5'-protecting groups to replace dimethoxytrityl groups, removing a step per nucleotide in the chemical synthesis of DNA; (b) universal nucleobases that provide near perfect non-discrimination between purines and pyrimidines; (c) universal supports that permit the inclusion of non-standard nucleotides without the need for separate support synthesis; (d) new split-and-pool syntheses to allows random sequences to be sequenced non-destructively; (e) a new class of nucleic acid analog that binds with specificity to standard DNA, but not to itself; (f) new click chemistry that permits instant attachment of nucleic acids to other nucleic acid or to the solid support; (g) tags that do not cross react with adventitious nucleic acids in complex biological media; (h) nucleotide-polymerase combinations that support highly multiplexed PCR; (i) single molecule sequencing of RNA through degradation.
Many architectures for the detection and quantitation of nucleic acids rely on DNA polymerases and reverse transcriptases that incorporate nucleic acid analogs. To date, most systems biology laboratories rely on commercial polymerases. Unfortunately, natural polymerases do not necessarily meet the specifications required for systems biology. Through a combination of directed evolution and evolutionary guidance, FfAME scientists have developed polymerases that accept unnatural nucleic acids without these collateral disadvantages.
FfAME scientists have developed a new tool that allows the template to generate the primers for detection and amplification. This generates probes with the specificities of 12-16mers, but the discriminating power of 4-8mers.


Obviously, I needed to put new tires on the truck if I was going to drive it any appreciable amount.
After a lot of thought into how I was going to use and modify the truck, I decided to stay with a tire that was pretty close to the original tire in size. I also wanted a tire that would handle well in a variety of conditions since the state I live in stretches from the coast to mountains with soil types ranging from sand to clay to silt. In addition to good performance off road and in inclement weather, I wanted a tire that would wear well on the road since I had to drive the truck to any place I where I wanted to play.
One weekend, while visiting friends of the family on their farm in Madison County, Virginia, I got to looking at the tires that the had on the farm vehicles. One in particular intrigued me as it was a directional tire with two wavy center ribs flanked by beefy lugs running from the ribs to the sidewalk. I noticed that this tread pattern was on a number of the trucks used in the orchards and for feeding cattle ranging from pickups to flatbeds.
Upon asking my hosts about the tires on their vehicles, I found that they purchased them all at their local Southern States, the Orange-Madison Co-Op in Madison.
The very next day I headed down the road the co-op to talk tires.
When I got to the tire shop, I spotted what I wanted. They had a huge stack of Grip-Spur tires that had a pair of center ribs with large lugs running from the ribs to the edge that had just a little angle to them, and they where non directional. I asked the guy at the counter if they had any in a 900x16 since that is the size on the M37 and what was in the pile in the warehouse was all 7.50x16 (for Chevy's). He told me that he had two of them in stock in a 900x16 that were left over from an order some Power Wagon owner had placed.... After getting both contact information for the other Dodge owner in the area, and a promise that he would see if he could get two or three more tires into the shop, I headed home.
I took everything home for sandblasting and painting.
A couple of weeks later, I went back to the Co-Op with my wheels loaded into the back of a friend's pickup. After a short wait while they scrounged around for my tubes (they had put them in a safe location while they waited for me to get my wheels ready, but it took a while to remember where that safe location was located) the mounting was done. The entire time that the two piece wheel specialist was working on my tires, he kept telling everyone what a joy it was to work on clean wheels. After he had aired the tires up and helped me load them into my borrowed truck for the trip home, he made sure that I was not charged for his services, just for the tires, tubes, and flaps.
One thing that can be said for these tires is that after they have warmed up a bit, and have become round, the ride is really good. Offroad performance on the materials that I drive on (loose gravel, sand, loam, and mud) is pretty good. Onroad performance at speed, especially in the rain, is great. I've enjoyed these tires so much, and they have worn so little even after they have been on the truck a couple of years, that even when I got a set of Michelin 1100r16 XL radials as part of a large order I placed for a friend three years after I mounted the Grip-Spurs, I did not install my set on my truck.
Further discussion of the various tires used on the M37 series of trucks is continued on the next page.


I've been buying vintage tapestries at op shops for the last couple of years with a view to using them in some crafty way. I didn't want to make cushions out of them because that was too easy so I made a pattern for a clutch purse.
Unfortunately, they didn't sell as well as I'd hoped so it's back to cushions! If I do say so myself they do look pretty awesome. Anyway, these are winging their way to the lovely Martha at Wanda Harland in Petone, Wellington tomorrow....Bon Voyage!
Finally got around to taking a photo of the other silver buckle. Unfortunately the quality isn't great - I'm having real problems finding a good spot to take photos in my new house. I think I probably need a better camera as well....any suggestions?
Well, I unpacked a couple more boxes today and found these amazing buckles that my friends mum gave me when I was a teenager. They both have hallmarks which I'll have a look at with my magnifying glass tomorrow. As always, they're part of a larger collection which I'll find and take photos of to share.

These can range from an enlarged prostate to prostate cancer, but one does not necessarily lead to the other. With that in mind, it is important for senior men and caregivers to know the difference and understand the stages, treatments, and emotional impact of prostate cancer.
An enlarged prostate, also known as BPH, is caused by an overgrowth of tissue within the prostate. This tissue is cancer free, but can cause difficulty with urination. Treatment for an aging adult with BPH ranges from medication to surgery, depending on how long the symptoms continue before treatment begins. Like most illnesses, early detection and treatment is the best option.
According to the American Cancer Society, prostate cancer has four stages. These stages are determined in large part by the size and spread of the cancer.
T Categories – The T category has four levels: T1, T2, T3, T4. These are determined by a clinical exam and not surgery. A T1 category means that the doctor cannot feel or see the tumor. At T2, the doctor can feel the cancer during an exam. At T3, the cancer has moved beyond the prostate and into the seminal vesicles, and finally, the T4 category suggests that the cancer has begun growing into other tissues outside of the prostate.
N Categories – The N categories determine whether or not the cancer has spread to the nearby lymph nodes. There are four N categories with N1 being the most severe.
M Categories – The M categories determine whether or not the cancer has spread past the lymph nodes and into the bones or other organs such as the brain or lungs. There are five M categories.
For some men, it can be difficult to share their feelings and concerns when it comes to dealing with prostate cancer. In fact, in a survey conducted by the Association of Oncology Social Work, about 50% of men with prostate cancer reported that they kept their diagnosis and their treatments secret, and 59% are concerned about being a burden to their families.
It is important as a caregiver that you give the senior male in your life an opportunity to talk — if they would like to — about their fears and concerns about their cancer. Not everyone will want to talk about it, but knowing that they can in a nonjudgmental way can make a big difference.
One issue many senior men have is that they feel their doctors are not as concerned with the level of discomfort that will be experienced when selecting treatments as they are. As a caregiver, you can play a role in the doctor / patient dynamic by attending doctor visits and, if needed, voicing concerns your loved one might feel too uncomfortable mentioning.
Finally, a vast majority of prostate cancer patients, 78% wish that those around them understood better what they are experiencing and how the treatments affect them.
With early detection, prostate cancer has a good survival rate, and keeping the lines of communication open – before diagnosis and after – can keep the senior male in your life healthier and happier.

Bikers from a motor club "Night wolves" will pass a column across Sevastopol in the fourth anniversary of the Crimean referendum. About it the leader of the movement Alexander Zaldostanov known as the Surgeon has written on the page to VKontakte. "The decision is made that our column will proceed across Sevastopol on March 16. The Moscow movie theater where we will hold the movie presentation will be a final point" — he has told. It is planned that motorcyclists start from Mount Gasforta, and the Moscow movie theater will become a final point of a route, he has specified. The Crimea was a part of Russia in the spring of 2014. On March 16 in the region the referendum during which, according to official figures, the vast majority of voted have supported accession to Russia has taken place.

The ability to install a quality roof is an important part of building a profitable roofing business, but it's only one part. Marketing for roofing contractors is nearly as important as the work itself.
Without marketing to promote and feature your work, all that skill and effort will be for nothing. That said, marketing is not a process to be handled carelessly. What follows are 6 common mistakes to avoid when building your marketing strategy.
A roof is one of the most costly purchases any homeowner can face, and as such, a lot of thought – not to mention procrastination – goes into the decision to purchase a new roof or repair an existing one.
It's easy to fall into the trap of undercutting your competition to attract cost-conscious customers. The trouble is, low-balling your pricing actually devalues your business.
Instead of focusing on how inexpensive you are, focus your marketing on the value for money. While you may not have the lowest price, you offer more value for the money. In other words, cost-effectiveness.
This is probably the biggest – and most common – mistake roofing contractors make in the marketing efforts. They haphazardly "market" without a clear idea of what they're trying to achieve, or a timeline in which they want to achieve it. They treat it like a one-time thing, rather than a continuous process that never stops.
As a result, their marketing brings in few leads and ends up being a waste of time and money. Invest the time in mapping out exactly what you want to achieve with your marketing.
Plan out your content, such as blog and social media posts over an extended length of time, and allow some flexibility to make adjustments as necessary along the way.
The market gets more and more crowded every day, and the internet has opened up even more choices for consumers who are looking for a product or service. This increased competition makes it all the more essential that you clearly communicate why your roofing business is different.
As we've discussed, the price won't do it.
Quality of work is not enough either. Finding that unique selling point (USP) is an often overlooked, but essential tool in building your roofing business. Maybe you specialize in energy efficient, "green" building techniques.
Perhaps you focus on a specific type of roof repair. Whatever it is, it has to be communicated clearly and consistently to your prospects to help you stand out.
The explosion of rating and review sites has made "word of mouth" marketing incredibly powerful. These days, what customers tell each other about you is as important as what you say about you.
Too many roofing contractors fail to see the value in these referrals, or they fail to engage in the conversation, especially when there's an issue.
Roofers don't realize that many prospects will first check these review sites before even contacting them. Being proactive and engaging with customers (whether satisfied or not), goes a long way to improving your reputation.
Google My Business is a free tool that puts your business on Google Maps and helps your website rank higher in search results. Not claiming your listing means you're missing out on a tool many, many prospects use to find local businesses. The fact is, prospective customers often contact businesses off the Google business listing. If you're not there, you're losing prospective customers.
This related to the lack of a marketing strategy. Many roofing contractors only market when leads are running dry. This "emergency marketing" rarely works effectively, and sometimes doesn't work at all.
Marketing is a continuous process, not something you do only when you need the business. By constantly marketing, you're able to take advantage of opportunities whenever they come up, not just when you need them.
These may be common mistakes in the world of marketing for roofing contractors, but with diligence and a solid marketing strategy, they're easily avoided.
It's the goal of every business, no matter the industry: How to get the coveted top spot in search engine results. There are many factors that determine how results are listed in a search engine, but one of the most important to understand – particularly for roofers – is local SEO. What follows are a few roofing SEO strategies and tips to help boost your company's ranking in search engines.
First, what exactly IS local SEO?
Local SEO (search engine optimization) allows businesses to promote their products and services to local customers at the exact time they're looking for them. Every day millions of customers use search engines to find the local businesses that will provide the best products and services. By ranking highly on these local searches, customers can more easily find you and do business.
Be sure to do this for all the services you offer, such as gutter replacement, window installation, etc.
Implement your keywords throughout your roofing website and social media.
Now that you have a roofing SEO keyword list, you need to incorporate them throughout your website and social media content. By using these keywords often in your content, a customer typing those keywords into a search engine is far more likely to find your business in the results.
A caveat: Don't just stuff keywords into your content at random places. Ensure that they make sense and that the rest of the content supports the keywords.
A good and often overlooked practice for boosting SEO is to include your location-specific keywords and phrases into your website's title and metadata.
While not weighted quite as strong as it was in the past, search engines still look to these areas for keywords when ranking. Ensure that you do this for all the pages on your site, including blog posts.
Use a consistent name, address, and phone number.
Local roofing SEO best practices state that your office address and phone number should be added to the footer of your website.
Equally important here is that anywhere your address and phone number are displayed, they should be consistent in format throughout.
This helps Google better understand that you're from a specific location and will help it to present your site to customers searching for businesses in that location.
Google My Business is a great way to boost your ranking within Google search. By listing your business information here, customers can find you even more easily, as it makes you visible on other Google services, such as Google Maps. As with your website, make sure your business information (address, phone, etc.) are consistent with those listed on your site.
If your roofing business has more than one office location, then you should create separate web pages for each, so that you can adapt the local keywords to reflect that specific location, allowing customers in those areas to more easily find you.
When multiple sites link back to your site, it helps increase your ranking in Google search. These are known as "backlinks." Like metadata keywords, backlinks aren't valued quite as much as they once were by search engines, but they still represent an effective tool for boosting your ranking.
Try using local business listing sites, or guest posting on blogs to help create a network of backlinks and boost your visibility.
These are just a few strategies for boosting your roofing business' local visibility. In the end, the key is to make it as easy as possible for customers to find and do business with you. Local roofing SEO is a powerful tool for doing just that.
How does a roofing company stand out in a crowded market? Roofing ads can no longer simply rely on offering the lowest price for a job.
Competing on price is a race to the bottom that ultimately no one wins. With so many choices available, consumers are looking more and more for the value provided by companies. Let's explore 5 types of roofing ads designed to provide more value while helping you stand out from your competitors.
Is your business located in an area that regularly encounters severe weather? Hail, hurricanes, and tornados can cause tremendous damage to roofs, and as a result, provide opportunities for roofing contractors. Promotions could be offered for repair work during hail or hurricane season. Alternatively, you could offer free assessments to determine the viability of a homeowners roof before the season begins.
Much like the weather specific ads, these ads are tied to the changing of the seasons, such as from fall to winter, or winter to spring.
Changing temperatures and increased snow/rain could cause serious issues such as leaks – issues that could be addressed or even prevented by a roofing contractor brought in at the right time. Obviously, these ads should be timed correctly to coincide with the appropriate season.
If your business specializes in using green roofing materials or more energy efficient techniques, this can be a powerful unique selling proposition (USP) for ads. By focusing on the money homeowners could save by using your services, you provide value that makes the cost of a roof replacement much more cost-effective. Green construction techniques are also very popular at the moment, and that popularity can help generate extra attention for your business.
While an ad cannot show an entire portfolio of your past work, you could use ads to highlight high-profile projects or even to display the craftsmanship of your work through close up images.
If your business prides itself on providing a clean worksite, this imagery can be used in ads as well to give customers a good idea of what they can expect when you work for them.
This type of ad has been around for a while. The idea is that through the ad, you offer prospects a piece of valuable information, such as a checklist for preparing your roof for winter, tips on dealing with small leaks, or even a guide to choosing a reputable roofing company.
This piece of information is called a lead magnet, and it allows you to build credibility with prospective customers while giving you the opportunity to nurture the lead to eventually become a customer. These ads are simple and are focused entirely on the lead magnet itself.
These are just a few of the types of roofing ads that you can use to generate more leads, and ultimately, more business. Don't be afraid to experiment with the different types, but remember: the key to marketing in the 21st century is to lead with value. The more value you offer your customers, the more likely they will come to you when the time comes to hire a roofing contractor.
Marketing for roofing companies is absolutely essential, whether the business works with residential customers, commercial clients or a combination of both. While no amount of marketing will ever replace excellent workmanship, work of the highest quality won't mean anything if customers don't know the company exists.
Enter marketing, along with its partner, strategy.
Here are some tips for building a solid and effective marketing strategy for your roofing company. Many are "old school" in nature, but when used in conjunction with more modern online marketing techniques, they can provide the extra personal touch that helps a client choose your business over a competitor.
These are the people who wait until their roof is in very poor condition because they've put off getting a new roof or getting the existing one repaired. Marketing to the Procrastinator is all about education: The practical benefits of a new roof, such as leakage protection and energy savings.
Procrastinators often put off roof repairs due to the perceived cost, therefore your marketing should reflect the cost-effectiveness of your work and the value-for-dollar you offer.
This customer is focused mainly on increasing the curb appeal and ultimately the value of their home. Marketing to the Beautifier should speak about the quality of your work and your ability to provide a selection of beautiful roofing materials that will add value and elegance to a home.
Your roofing company should have a single logo that you use consistently on all materials seen by customers. This branding should be prominent on any vehicles you use, on all your documentation and on signs along the job site. It seems like a small thing, but it creates an image of professionalism and credibility in the eyes of prospects and can be an effective form of passive advertising.
Keep in mind that if you do use branding on the job site, it must be kept as clean as possible to avoid having your business name and brand associated with a messy site.
When beginning a new job, ask clients how they found out about you. This information can be invaluable for determining which marketing methods are working well and which are not.
For example, if a lot of your clients seem to come from Facebook, it might be worth investing a little more in that area in future.
Keep a database of your customers and leads to whom you've provided estimates. Touch base with them once or twice a year with value-focused content, such as an information guide or checklist.
This helps keep you "top of mind" for those leads who may not have yet made a decision about hiring a roofing company.
Contacting your clients a week or two after you finish a job to make sure they're satisfied is also a great way of reinforcing great service, showing you care about the quality of your work and increase the chances that they will refer you to others.
Create and nurture relationships with local realtors, banks, and landscapers.
Set up mutually beneficial marketing efforts such as displays, business cards or brochures in your respective offices for the benefit of clients looking for information.
Whether you prefer "old school" or modern techniques, marketing for roofing companies is absolutely essential. Neglecting them will make it difficult, if not impossible, to grow your business. Just remember that marketing must be a continuous process, not an event. Making use of the techniques described above will give you happy customers, a continuous stream of business, and an edge over your competitors.
For a roofer, a successful business starts by providing a quality service at a fair price. However, that alone won't guarantee you success.
The market is more crowded than ever and prospective customers have far more options thanks to the internet. Roofing advertising strategies can take many forms, from online retargeting to simply following up on completed jobs to check on your customer's satisfaction. We're looking at 5 different strategies you can use to help grow your roofing business.
Community involvement can create a scenario where everyone wins. The community feels supported, and they, in turn, are more willing to support your business.
In the case of a roofing advertising strategy, try selecting a household every 1-2 months that needs a roof, but may not be in a financial position to afford such a renovation.
Applications or nominations can be created to decide who the recipient will be, which creates positive exposure. People will want to do business with you because you're the company who is willing to help that struggling family get back on their feet, and you have the satisfaction of knowing you've supported a good cause. Win-win.
The purchase of a new roof is a decision that many homeowners put off due to the costs involved. As a result, it can take months or more for a lead to finally become a customer.
Retargeting ads keep track of visitors to your website and offer up your ads to them as they explore the internet. While the lead may not click on the ads, they will see them, keeping your business "top of mind" until the moment when they finally choose a roofer. Retargeting increases the chances that the roofer they choose will be you.
A comprehensive portfolio of past projects is a great way to demonstrate the quality of your work to prospective customers. Close up images of the craftsmanship that goes into your projects help build credibility and give customers an idea of what their roof will look like.
Also, if one of your value propositions is that you offer a tidy worksite, images of a project throughout its phases would also be great for demonstrating value to customers. All these images can be displayed on a portfolio page on your website, and used (with the client's permission) as social media content as well.
Ranking as high as possible in local search results is essential to drive traffic to your website. There are three primary ways to ensure your business is as close as possible to that coveted top spot on search results: Pay-per-click advertising, Google My Business, and organic web listings.
Pay-per-click (PPC) ads are run through auction-based systems like Google Adwords and Bing Ads, allowing you to show in the top positions (reserved for paid ads) where you can control the ad copy and landing page.
Google My Business is a Google Maps listing and review platform that you can optimize your descriptions and customer reviews. Organic website listings are created by optimizing your website for keywords, gaining backlinks (links from other sites), maintaining an active social media presence and regularly updating your content (such as a blog).
This is a primary tenet of marketing in the 21st century. By providing prospects with value (information, tips, etc.), you're laying a foundation of trust and relevance that's impossible to replicate any other way.
Provide tips on fixing a leak, or ensuring that their roof is ready for inclement weather, or even how to choose a roofing contractor.
When the time comes to purchase a new roof or repair an existing one, they're more likely to come to you, mainly because you've provided so much value in the past, and because you've developed a relationship over time.
Standing out in a crowded market involves much more than just a low price. You need to provide real value for the dollar and be willing to nurture relationships over time to turn leads into customers.
Online marketing is a powerful tool for roofing businesses looking to generate leads – but only when it's used properly.
Quite often, roofers fail to get the most out of online marketing and end up with results that are hardly worth the time and money invested. What follows are tips and strategies showing you how to get roofing leads in your business.
Your website is one of the most important parts of your lead-generating efforts. Even if prospective customers find out about you offline, they'll likely visit your site to learn more.
Simply put, your website is often the first impression customers will have of you, so it's important that it reflects well on you and your roofing business.
For a roofing business, a website is more than just an information source. It's also a tool for converting visitors into leads. That means it has to provide value, make contacting you as painless as possible and use powerful calls to action to motivate prospective customers.
Ranking as high as possible in local search results is essential to drive traffic to your website, traffic that could potentially become leads. There are three primary ways to ensure your business is as close as possible to that coveted top spot on search results: Pay-per-click advertising, Google My Business, and organic web listings.
Google My Business is a Google Maps listing and review platform that you can optimize your descriptions and customer reviews.
Organic website listings are created by optimizing your website for keywords, gaining backlinks (links from other sites), maintaining an active social media presence and regularly updating your content (such as a blog).
It would be a mistake for any article designed to teach you how to get roofing leads to fail to mention one of the most popular methods for sharing information online: Video.
While it's a powerful marketing tool, few roofing companies take full advantage of it. Whether you decide to invest in a professional production company to make a commercial video, or create lower-budget "how-to" videos to educate prospective customers (how to select a new roof, what to look for in a roofing contractor, etc.), this kind of content – when optimized for YouTube search – helps to build credibility and trust, encouraging visitors to become leads and eventually, customers.
Purchasing a new roof or repairing an older one is a decision that many people will take their time making. Unless the roof is badly damaged, some leads can take months to make a final decision on a roofer. Retargeting keeps track of visitors to your site and offers up your ads to them as they explore the internet. While the lead may not click on the ads, they will see them, keeping your business "top of mind" until the moment when they finally choose a roofer. Retargeting increases the chances that the roofer they choose will be you.
It's an easy trap to fall into – to assume that as a roofer, you're just like every other roofer. This kind of thinking makes winning customers a matter of luck. Roofers who dominate in their marketing do so primarily by developing a unique selling proposition (USP).
At some point, most of us have asked friends or family who has worked with a local company what their experience was like. With the explosion of the internet and the creation of online review sites, this common act takes on a whole new level of importance.
What other customers have to say about your business is now as important as what you have to say yourself. More and more roofing companies are realizing how important online review sites are to local lead generation.
Many prospective leads will now check reviews made on HomeAdvisor, Facebook, and Google, and base their decision largely on the experiences of other customers.
Closely monitoring what's being said online about your business and responding to negative reviews with suggestions for rectifying problems can go a long way to ensuring an error now doesn't cost you later.
Marketing has always been, and will likely be a long-term enterprise. The companies who succeed in marketing understand that not only do campaigns need to be given time to work, they must be flexible as well. Not every effort will work. When some part of your marketing fails or doesn't provide the desired results, see it as a learning opportunity and try to determine why it failed – and be willing to put something new in its place. This process of flexibility and persistence will help you generate leads – and business – over the long term, long after your competitors have thrown in the towel.


It's been a LONG time since I've shared a recipe with you! I'm horrible about writing down measurements as I'm going and I've learned that I can't base it off of memory…my mama brain is overloaded! The last couple of months I've been busy making delicious recipes from blogs I follow. I'm a HUGE believer in supporting friends in any way I can, so when they create a new recipe, I'm more inclined to make it rather than experimenting with one of my own. If you read my budget post, you also know that following a recipe makes life easier in our household – Josh can jump in and help or take over while I play with Willow.
Last week I whipped up a new cheeze sauce, but failed to write down the measurements – since there were a few people requesting the recipe, I made another attempt and it turned out even better than the original one. So, I present to you, yet another cheeze sauce recipe that uses just a handful of ingredients and takes minutes to make.
** If you have a nut allergy, please visit a previous cheeze sauce recipe of mine that uses sweet potatoes, carrots and onions. You can easily add in the smoke flavor to that recipe.
*** If you do not have (or can't find) hickory smoke seasoning or liquid smoke, you can try either increasing the smoked paprika or using smoked sea salt as opposed to regular sea salt. You can also omit the smoke and you'll be left with a creamy cheeze sauce.
Drain and rinse your cashews; place in high-speed blender with all the ingredients except water.
As the blender is running, slowly add water in until you reach a consistency that's good for you. I started with 1/4 cup of water and ended up using 3/4 cups. Depending on how much "water" your pepper contains, you may need more or less. Also, if you're looking for a thick sauce, almost dip-like, you'll want less water. For the latest batch I made, we used it to make Mac 'n' Cheeze, so I wanted a thinner sauce.
You can keep this sauce "raw" and either eat with veggies and roasted potatoes or mix with cooked noodles. You can also gently heat it on the stove for a few minutes, but know that it thickens significantly when warmed up. We added it to cooked noodles and then baked in the oven for 10 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit to let the flavors meld together. We saved some extra "raw" sauce to pour over the final dish.
If you have leftovers, they will keep in the fridge for 3-5 days or you can freeze the sauce. When you reheat it, you might need to add a little more water or broth to thin it down a bit.

This month, Menlo Park and the surrounding area offers guests a myriad of events and attractions from which to choose, and a few of our favorites are listed here. First, don't miss Facebook's Truck Yeah! Fair on October 13 at Facebook headquarters on Hacker Way.
This event will feature Country and Bluegrass bands, line dancing, games, rides, chili and barbecue competitions, and an expo that includes emergency, military, and service vehicles. The proceeds will benefit veterans' organizations and local health services. Next, get ready to celebrate all things pumpkin on October 13-14 at the 48th Half Moon Bay Art & Pumpkin Festival. The festivities at the world's pumpkin capital will include a Great Pumpkin Parade, a Haunted Circus, giant pumpkin displays, live music on four stages, food, wines and beers, pumpkin carving, and much more. Lastly, if you've never toured the Winchester Mystery House, Halloween is the ideal time to go. Their incredibly popular Halloween Candlelight Tours are one of the best ways to see the haunted mansion of Sarah Winchester, when the only illumination provided is from the guide's flickering candles. Tours are available now through October 31.
One of the great advantages of staying in Menlo Park is its close proximity to San Francisco and all the art, music, shopping, food, and nightlife the city has to offer.
The Dragon Productions Theatre Company, located less than 15 minutes by car from our hotel, has long been one of Northern California's top dramatic arts ensembles. Guests of the Park James Hotel will be pleased to learn that The (curious case of the) Watson Intelligence will be on stage from September 14 through October 7. The play, which was a 2014 Pulitzer Prize finalist, examines the role of technology in our lives, its ability to bring us together and tear us apart, by weaving together the narratives of three past Watsons—Sherlock Holmes's right-hand man, Alexander Graham Bell's trusty engineer assistant, and IBM's supercomputer that went head-to-head with Jeopardy! all-stars in 2011—plus one present-day Watson, a 21st-century geek who longs for love.
One of the great advantages of living here in California is that you have easy access to some of the freshest organic fruits and vegetables anywhere in the country.
If healthy, delicious eating is important to you, then we highly recommend you check out the Palo Alto Farmers' Market, which runs from 8 A.M. to noon every Saturday from now through December 8. Vendors at the market include such local favorites as Acu Acai, which specializes in fresh fruit bowls, granola, and smoothies; C Farm, which cultivates an eclectic mix of Asian and Western vegetables; FV Anne B, bringing you the freshest catches from the sea; Grumpy Goats Farm, for silky smooth extra-virgin olive oil; Little Sky Bakery, cooking up naturally leavened breads daily; and Notable Bites, purveyors of sweet treats like cookies, cakes, and lemon squares. Best of all, proceeds from the Farmers' Market benefit Avenidas, a community group for the elderly.
Who'd have thought, right here in the epicenter of all things tech, that a good old-fashioned neighborhood bookstore would actually be thriving? It's true: Kepler's Books and Magazines, our neighbor just down the block, fuels and feeds on the intellectual energy of Silicon Valley.
Of course, it's not just any bookstore. This Menlo Park mainstay is considered one of the best indies in the country, a true cultural hub so beloved by locals that – in a brief economic downturn some years back – shoppers became stakeholders, ensuring Kepler's kept the lights on. No trip to Menlo Park is complete without dropping by this literary landmark. Pick up a best-seller for yourself or a bedtime story for your favorite kid, browse an impressive collection of signed first edition works, or just meander the shelves checking out the fresh picks of Kepler's well-read staff.


Cave Creek is a town in Maricopa County bordered by Carefree. In the 1870s members of the Calvary explored the area, and an adobe home was built along a creek close to where the Cavalry had rested, and soon the Cave Creek Station for travelers was established.

Get Your Next Inspirational Quote From This Subreddit
"I've never seen any life transformation that didn't begin with the person in question finally getting tired of their own bullshit," says Eat Pray Love memoirist Elizabeth Gilbert. If you need a motto to put up on a Post-it note and keep you off your own bullshit, go to the Quotes subreddit. That's where we got Gilbert's observation, which she elaborates on in an essay.
The quotes in the subreddit cover many topics, but most work as lifelong words of wisdom:
"Don't judge a man by where he is, because you don't know how far he has come," says C. S. Lewis.
"If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing," says Malcolm X.
"If you love someone, everything is negotiable. If you don't, everything is a door," says Carrie Fisher.
Internet quotes from famous people are notoriously unreliable, but on r/Quotes, commenters and moderators try to fact-check in the comments. Benjamin Franklin might have really said "Never ruin an apology with an excuse," but the mods aren't convinced.

The first is a group of animals that will just never leave the farm - either because of their phenominal track record in producing high quality offspring, or because their genetics are rare enough that we want to keep them in the herd permanently.
The second is a group of animals that has top-notch fiber statistics and whose genetics we want to add to the foundation herd, so we are not offering them for sale at this time. However, once we have gotten a high quality cria out of them - male or female, we move them to the sales page.
We do not sell unproven animals. We make sure that all animals designated as breeders have a track record of producing healthy crias!
The girls listed below represent the ideals that we are striving for in our breeding program and should give you a good idea of where we are going and the high quality that we offer for sale.
Description: BB is a girl out of our award winning herdsire, Bronze Mahagony, and one of the all around best on our farm. In addition to her great fiber stats, BB was recently evaluated through the Suri Network's S.H.I.P. program for her conformation and received nearly all "5 out of 5s" for her excellent conformation. BB's fiber has held its micron well below 26, which is one of the important factors we are selecting for in our herd.
Fiber Stats: Density - 59; S/P ratio of 10.5/1, Micron spread 4. Her histogram stats at 3 years of age were as follows: MFD 22.9, SD 4.4, CV 19.25.
Description: Adia was purchased as part of a herd retirement sale, and she has been a real find! Her genetics go back out beloved herdsire White Knight and she is a wonderful representation of what he passed on. Her S.H.I.P score for conformation was all "5 out of 5s". She has given us some beautiful offspring and she will be with us for the long haul.
Description: Miley has stunningly beautiful luster, fineness, and that cool, slick handle that everyone strives for. As Miley has matured, she has maintained an MFD below 26 microns, making her a "keeper" in our herd. Miley sheared four lbs of blanket in 2010 with an MFD of 23 microns. She was a 2010 Color Champion at the Suri Network Fleece Show - the largest Suri fleece show in the U.S. - and a ribbon winner at two large halter shows with classes each of 11. Miley's skin biopsy results are unbelievably good! - top 2% of tested Suris in the U.S.

In addition to the typical cast of annoying characters, such as termites, cicadas, American and German cockroaches, stink bugs, ants, mosquitoes and stinging insects, this county is plagued with destructive insects such as Emerald ash borers and three Asian pests; namely, the aphid-like, wooly adelgids, ambrosia beetles and long-horned beetles. These insects threaten the future of the trees in Westmoreland County. Sirex wood wasps join this invasive bug team that devastate ash, oak, hemlock, pine and maple trees.

Dean Martin, who was a towel boy, performed here with the local bands, and a quiet young man named Perry Como also sang here very early in his career.

Some Historical Pest Trends Of Westmoreland
The family of William Penn purchased the territory that formed Westmoreland County from the Six Nations Iroquois Indian confederacy which included: Mohawk, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, Seneca and Tuscarora Indian tribes. The county opened to settlers in April 1769 and was officially founded in 1773.
The name, Westmoreland, derives from an historic county in England. Also known as the Star of The West, 18th century immigrants, mostly German and Irish, in search of freedom from religious persecution, bestowed this moniker on the county because they considered it to be a guiding star as they traveled from eastern Pennsylvania towards their ultimate destination of the untamed western territories.
Early Settlers Battled With Indians and Pestilence
Pest control is at least as old as agriculture. For the early settlers, farming and hunting sustained them. Their lives were tumultuous, dealing with hostile native-American Indian tribes and the pestilence that threatened their harvests and food crops. Infusions of nicotine, herbs and arsenic comprised the only pest repellant available at the time, as powerful pesticides were still many decades away.
The Botanical Pesticides Of Pyrethrum And Derris
Slowly, with the advent of industrialization and the mechanization of agriculture, particularly in the late 18th and 19th centuries, two botanical pesticides, pyrethrum, which comes from a certain species of Chrysanthemum and derris, a plant native to Asia, became widespread among farmers.

How to make the newborn stage easy
As a breastfeeding-friendly clothing brand, we understand the importance of comfortable and convenient clothing during this special time. That's why we've put together these 10 top tips to help new parents navigate the newborn stage with ease.
Get as much sleep as you can: Newborns tend to wake up frequently throughout the night, so it's important to take advantage of any opportunity to sleep.
Our biggest tip from the founder: Pump first and go to bed when the baby goes down for the first time at night. Hubby then feeds bubs with a bottle for the first wake up, this will allow a good solid block of sleep before all the night waking - don't be afraid to ask for help from friends and family.
Establish a routine: A routine will help your baby feel more secure and can also make your life as a new parent a little more predictable. Try to establish a consistent bedtime routine, and stick to it as much as possible. (Obviously have a life too!)
We know that this conflicts with the above point.. but.. be flexible: While a routine can be helpful, it's important to remember that babies are unpredictable. Be prepared to change your plans at a moment's notice, and don't stress if things don't go as planned.
A note from our founder: I always gave each baby 1 day and 1 night to muck up each week, which meant for mental health I gave permission to myself to be patient. It's hard when you don't have a 'good sleeper' and sleep deprivation really is the killer. When you tell yourself just 1 night or 1 day, it makes life so much easier to move forward.
Invest in breastfeeding-friendly basics: Nursing t-shirts, nursing jumpers, and other breastfeeding-friendly clothing options like a nursing bra can make the breastfeeding process more comfortable and convenient. Look for clothing with discreet nursing access, and make sure they're made from soft, stretchy fabric.
Find a support system: Being a new parent can be isolating, so it's important to have a support system in place. Reach out to friends and family, or join a local parenting group.
Keep your expectations realistic: Newborns are not capable of sleeping through the night, or following a strict schedule. Keep your expectations realistic, and don't stress if your baby doesn't meet certain milestones - it's not a competition.
Take care of yourself: The newborn stage can be draining, both physically and emotionally. Make sure to take care of yourself, and don't neglect your own needs. ❤
Be prepared for visitors: Visitors are often excited to meet your new baby, but it can be overwhelming to have people in and out of your home. Be prepared for visitors, and set boundaries if necessary.
Accept help when offered: New parents often feel the need to do everything on their own, but accept help when it's offered. Whether it's a friend offering to cook a meal or a family member offering to do the laundry, take advantage of the help.
Bond with your baby: The newborn stage is a special time for bonding with your baby. Take advantage of this time by holding, cuddling and talking to your baby.
Remember that the newborn stage is a fleeting time, and it's important to enjoy it as much as possible. With a little bit of preparation and a lot of patience, you'll be able to navigate the newborn stage with ease.
