Garage Rentals on Craigslist: Advantages and Disadvantages of Using Them

admin

When it comes to rentals posted on Craigslist, many of us automatically think of home and apartment rentals. Although you will find these, you will also find garage rentals. Renting a garage from a poster on Craigslist.org sounds good, but it has its pros and cons. What are they?

The professionals

The options you have. Do a garage rental search on Craigslist or browse the website and you’ll get plenty of deals. There are garages for one, two or even three cars to rent. Your rental options also vary. Some signs advertise long-term rentals, such as car storage for the winter. You can also find daily rentals, which is nice if you need a safe indoor place to do your car repairs.

The garage you never had. Millions of Americans could benefit from having a garage, but they just don’t have access to one. Rentals advertised on Craigslist give you the garage you never had. As stated above, you can store a car or other belongings for the long term or use short-term rentals for car repairs on your own. If you don’t have a covered building on your property, renting may be your only option.

Cheap prices. Many of the people who have garages and other covered buildings that are advertised for rent on Craigslist are homeowners. They are not in the professional rental business, which should translate into cheaper prices. If you are looking for long-term storage, compare your rental costs with a professional storage facility. If you want to do your own car repairs, add your rental costs to your auto parts costs and then shop around with a professional auto repair service. Either way, it should save money.

The cons

There are some risks. As stated above, most of the posters on Craigslist that have a rental garage are homeowners. They are not using it, so they think they could make money from a rental. You likely have a verbal agreement, not a formal contract, as you would with an established warehousing company. If you can’t install your own lock, know that the garage owner can come in and access your items at any time. Although most are honest, the risk is always there.

As you can see, renting a garage posted on Craigslist carries some risks, but there are many more benefits. Whether you need a long-term or short-term rental, find garages, storage buildings, and sheds on Craigslist.org with ease. Download Craigslist Software To Search Multiple Cities At Once!

iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, iPad Pro: What’s New from an IOS Developer’s Perspective?

admin

When developing iOS applications, developers should focus on different iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch models to provide a richer user experience across multiple iOS devices. Despite running on the same version of iOS, the screen size, features, and functionality of individual devices differ. So the new models of these various devices recently unveiled by Apple at an event in San Francisco will have a huge impact on iOS app development.

According to the information published by Apple, developers can easily identify the notable features of the iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, and iPad Pro. The new iPhone models are designed for regular users, while the iPad Pro is designed for professionals and business users. Developers must take advantage of the specific characteristics of different Apple devices so that new iOS applications provide a better and richer user experience and obtain higher returns.

iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus

The iPhone 6s will have a 4.7-inch screen, while the 6s Plus version will have a 5.5-inch screen size. As the screen sizes of the new models are similar to those of the already available 6 and 6 Plus, the screen sizes of the new models will not have a significant impact on the application development front. But the 3D technology introduced by Apple will completely transform mobile app development. The function taken from Apple Watch allows users to apply different levels of pressure on the touch screen of the device.

For example, users can now simply press hard on the Maps app and see shortcuts to related options like Directions to home and Mark my locations. Additionally, the 3D touch feature allows users to quickly view the contents of an email by simply clicking hard on an unread email in the inbox. Quick view will allow users to read your content, without marking the email as read. Therefore, application developers must allow users to access important parts or aspects of an application without opening the application or following certain steps.

The latest iPhone models will also include second-generation Touch ID, 64-bit A9 chip with M9, 5MP FaceTime HD with Retina Flash, 12MP iSight camera and 4K video, and Live Photo. Major manufacturers will use advanced lenses to enhance the 12 megapixel capability of the iSight camera. This feature will encourage users to capture sharper and sharper images and post them to online social media websites. They can even take advantage of the Live Photo function to create a video clip by stitching together high-quality photos. Therefore, the improved iSight camera and Live Photo function will have a definite impact on iOS application development.

iPad Pro

Apple has designed the iPad Pro with a 12.9-inch screen size to meet the requirements of business and professional users. Compared to the iPad Air, the Pro version has a larger screen, more processing power, and better accessories. Users now have the option to use Apple Pencil to interact with the iPad screen more proactively. The iPad Pro screen will respond to the level of pressure from the stylus, while displaying the appropriate applications related to drawing and handwriting.

Users also have the option to interact with the iPad Pro via the Smart Keyboard which includes physical keys similar to laptop keyboards. The smart connector included in the Smart Keyboard can transfer more power and data. Apple has already updated its Mail and Notes applications to be compatible with the stylus. When developing apps for this device, iOS app developers should keep in mind that users will love accessing and interacting with their apps via Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard. At the same time, they should also focus on Split View, Slide Over, Picture in Picture, and similar multi-tasking enhancements for iPad included in iOS 9.

As is obviously the case, the iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, and iPad Pro will work with iOS. Apple has already released iOS 9 preview beta versions with several new features and improvements. Therefore, developers should focus on the next version of Apple’s mobile platform, along with the iPhone and iPad models recently introduced by the company.

Dallas "Ocean prime" It should be on your short list of the best restaurants in North Texas

admin

There’s something to be said about visiting a five-star restaurant when the city is in the grip of an ice storm: the other scheduled patrons have canceled their reservations to hide under padded sheets tending a hot toddy; and so the chef and his staff, having braved the ghastly weather themselves to bravely show up for work, will be very Really happy to see you there, and they will go out of their way to express their gratitude, except for a headstand, serving you exceptional meals with exemplary service.

Such was my visit, on a windy winter day this December, to Ocean prime, Cameron Mitchell’s elegant 2006 creation on Cedar Springs Road, across from the Crescent Court Hotel, at the north end of downtown Dallas. The staff was so happy to see us, and our compliments after an excellent meal were such that while we were having our coffees, Executive Chef Eugenio Reyes himself came out personally to curtsy and chat with us for a few minutes. He is a talented artist.

Upon arrival, it was clear that my dining partner and I had the place to ourselves. There was another table, this one with five guests, on the other side of the room. My host kindly chose a table away from the door and any gust of icy wind that might have eluded the doorman. Our server was Shelby Griffing, a five-year veteran of Ocean prime and an expert guide to dine there.

When Shelby suggested that the chef was raving about a plate of shoulder lamb chops (the popular American name for bone-fried lamb chops), my ears perked up. On a day like this, do you really want to order something from the menu? After all, the chef is alone in the kitchen and is dying to show off his favorite dish. Why disappoint him or yourself? In such conditions, go with the will of the restaurant. One must listen carefully and unless you are allergic to the special one, it is wise to select it. The chef, in these circumstances, will go the extra mile to shine. In fact, many years of dining at high-end restaurants have taught me that the best meals are had on those occasions when one can “bond”, so to speak, with the kitchen staff. Never take good cooking for granted. Always listen. My father once told me decades ago that I could always better assess a man’s character by observing the way he treated waiters. That’s how it is.

To be honest, I am not particularly fond of lamb, despite my years in North Africa, because it takes a special skill to cook it correctly and it is a staple in much of the world that its preparation is often indifferent. Too often, too, “lamb” really means “lamb.” Lamb is often stringy, tough, and unpleasant – the kind of meat that angers inland Australians. I usually go to Ocean prime Eat fish, as there are very few really good fish restaurants in Dallas. I am partial to Ocean prime’s Blackened blackfish, served with a bread spoon and a jalapeño corn tartare. I’ve asked for it half a dozen times.

But there was something about Shelby’s description of the lamb chops that made them irresistible, and both my lunch partner and I ordered them. To open the palate, I chose as an aperitif a trio of simply exceptional Vietnamese. prawns, or giant shrimp, served in the traditional tomato sauce with a bit of Tabasco.

And then came those lollipop lamb chops, five little ones served piping hot. We were not disappointed. To begin with, the ingredients were absolutely the best, before Eugenio Reyes worked his magic in the kitchen. These were the finest and most tender lamb chops Oregon has ever produced (just as good, if not better, than Colorado, which is the usual place for the best American lamb). It is as often true, in the kitchen as in other activities of life, that the best ingredients are more than half the battle. But the way that Chef Reyes prepared these chops was extraordinary and, in my experience, unique.

Instead of the traditional lamb recipe, or a variation of it, in which they are crusted with rosemary and salt, these were served in a clear raisin reduction, very delicate and slightly sweet. Absolutely out of this world! The lamb chops were served with tiny potatoes the size of marbles. I’ve never had lamb with a hint of sugar or raisins before, except maybe once or twice in Morocco. It was a pleasure, and I will remember it.

I then asked Chef Reyes why these lollipop cutlets are not on the regular menu, and he replied quite reasonably that it is simply not possible to get the desired quality of cutlets on a daily basis (although they are generally available) and that, too, Respecting the gastronomic inclinations of your Texas customers, lamb is not something Dallas people want to order every day, no matter how good it is. I think this is wise.

We finish our lunch with a magnificent and very generous homemade crème brûlée with berries, rich vanilla custard wrapped in a caramelized sugar armor. Then I had an espresso with lemon peel.

Executive Chef Eugenio Reyes is a man of great culinary talent. Before he took the helm in Ocean primeHe was second chef here, but regularly traveled to other Cameron Mitchell restaurants across the country to train staff as well. He began his career in Columbus, Ohio, at Mitchell’s Ocean club restaurant. After leaving his native Mexico years ago, Reyes began life in American kitchens at the bottom of the stairs, as a dishwasher, dreaming of the day he could become a cook himself. Over a career spanning two decades, he has learned more and more.

I generally avoid chains, but Cameron Mitchell’s ten locations are not really part of a chain in the sense that each restaurant has adapted to its host city. Mitchell plans to open his 11th restaurant, this one in Beverly Hills, California, in early 2014.

Cameron Mitchell’s public relations team has stated that “Ocean prime It is the culmination of a creative exercise that we began in 2006 to define the best in food, beverage, service and atmosphere “in Dallas, and I think it’s fair to say that they have succeeded.

Ocean prime It is at 2101 Cedar Springs Road in Dallas (75201) at the corner of Pearl and across from the Crescent Court Hotel. Even on days when the weather is bad, it is always advisable to make a reservation: (214) 965-0440.

New Evidence Shows HIV Rarely Is Spread Heterosexual

admin

In the developing world, the virus has been around for at least 65 years because HIV is rarely transmitted heterosexual. Research that studied the wives of infected hemophiliacs showed that an HIV-positive person requires more than 1,000 unprotected sexual contacts with an HIV-negative person of the opposite sex to transmit the virus just once. Lancet, 1997, 349: 851-2, French doctors at the Cochin-Port Royal hospital in Paris analyzed the risk that married couples would want to conceive a baby where the man was HIV positive. Their findings are in line with infection rates of 1 in 1,000 unprotected sexual acts among stable heterosexual partners.

According to this published research, an HIV-infected heterosexual who has sex 2-3 times a week, approximately seven years old, could infect another person with HIV! This practically means that HIV-infected men out of a million couples who have unprotected sex for 2,739 years a day can infect all female partners who test positive for HIV (even if the HIV tests were 100% reliable, which they are not).

How do you get AIDS?

However, the situation is different with respect to infected pregnant women. A baby is directly and constantly exposed to the mother’s blood for a period of 9 months. During this period, the virus has a 50% chance of being transmitted to the baby. Retroviruses survive when they reach a new host before birth (they are passed from mother to child). This way of transmitting a virus is at least 500 times more effective than through sexual transmission. (Blood transfusion is another obvious way to get the virus)

In contrast to the situation in rich nations, HIV in Third World countries is distributed equally between the sexes, which means that it must have been transmitted from mother to child for many centuries. If HIV had been a deadly killer virus, the babies of infected mothers would obviously have been born deformed, aborted or stillborn, because newborn babies have not yet developed adequate immunity to defend themselves against a killer virus. Even if they somehow managed to survive, they could only last a maximum of two years, the latency period that infected babies are given before developing AIDS. The spread of the virus would have been automatically stopped by destroying all newborn babies that were infected by their mothers.

Due to the low rates of homosexuality in developing countries, the prenatal transmission route has been their only efficient way (50 percent chance) of transmitting HIV to new generations. Older girls who become mothers would again have a 50 percent chance of transmitting the virus to their children. Thus, in Africa alone, HIV must have existed for many generations before it can infect 6 to 8 million people. The latest argument that increased condom use in some African nations helped reduce the infection rate is unconvincing, as the main route of HIV infection in Africa is from mother to child.

Who gets AIDS?

The situation is very different in the industrialized world, where HIV is transmitted mainly through different routes. The most susceptible groups are highly active homosexuals, heroin addicts who share needles, and hemophiliacs who receive transfusions. They represent the main and easiest routes through which disease-causing microbes can be transmitted to other people who share a common risk factor: immunodeficiency. In other words, the groups in society where HIV is commonly present among its members are also the groups with the greatest health risks and therefore more likely to produce symptoms of AIDS. Still, the more concentrated presence of HIV among health risk groups cannot be blamed for causing AIDS diseases, just as high cholesterol levels cannot be held responsible for causing heart disease. These are mere correlations. Another problem is that gay men, drug users, and hemophiliacs who are exposed to semen, drugs, blood transfusions, hepatitis, the Epstein Barr virus, and many other diseases or factors known to cause false positives biological tests in HIV, represent the most unreliable. society groups to demonstrate the real presence of HIV.

As prophesied 13 years ago, AIDS has invaded the heterosexual community, or so it seems. Since cervical cancer and other female diseases have more recently been renamed AIDS diseases, AIDS appears to have affected the female population. However, the majority of AIDS patients are still men.

Anything and everything that heavily abuses the body and depletes the immune system must be held responsible for causing disease, regardless of whether it is a stroke, cancer, or an AIDS disease. Emotional stress, insufficient nutrition, dehydration, lack of sleep, alcohol, cigarettes, antibiotics, hard drugs, excessive sexual activity, etc., can damage the immune system. An inactive piece of viral material like HIV, on the other hand, cannot harm a healthy body.

Those who are continuously exposed to immune risk factors are also more susceptible to developing Human Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. Someone might argue, “What about an innocent baby who is infected with HIV from his parents and dies of pneumonia? Isn’t that AIDS?” The fact is that at least the same number of children die of pneumonia with or without HIV, and it does not significantly influence the outcome of the disease whether they had a previous encounter with HIV or not. However, what can make a big difference is how pneumonia is treated.

Change the look of your kitchen with cabinet knobs

admin

Go to your local hardware store. Examine the cabinet knobs. It is surprising that we live in a society that allows us to choose which design we prefer to our cabinet knob. You see various designs and you decide which one to choose. Cabinet knobs no longer come in generic form. It has been renovated to express the personality of the buyer.

A cabinet knob is attached to a drawer and a cabinet. It helps the person to open the drawer and the cupboard smoothly. Cabinet knobs come in various colors, structures, and patterns.

Consider buying cabinet knobs as serious business. Are you chic or manly? Do you like simple designs or would you like something similar to the renaissance era? Will there be different door knobs for each room? Maybe you are thinking of having those animal designs for the nursery?

Some are circular, making it easy for you to wrap your entire fist and then open the drawer.

Some are elongated and have a gap between the end of the knob and the drawer. In that space, you fix your fingers and then you pull.

Some are like a knocker on the doors of a castle. These are the ones with a circular design and you see a loose hoop hanging from it. He grabs onto that loose hoop and pulls.

Some are square in shape. You hold on to that shape and do what seems like no effort to open your drawers and cabinets.

If you want to be different, you can see various designs such as animals. There are cupboard knobs with bull design. The bull’s head is in the center and you hold onto the horns to open the drawer and closet.

There are also animal heads such as bears, dogs, tigers, and cats. It is similar to the circular cabinet knobs where you clench your fist to open the cabinet.

With so many options to choose from, you will eventually get the best one that reflects your personality and lifestyle. Buying cabinet door knobs has become buying shoes.

Homeowners generally get the same door knob in every room so there is balance and symmetry from room to room.

Just like cleaning the floor in your house, you should also take the time to clean your doorknobs. Most of the time we forget to do it because it is barely visible and it is there in the corner. And again, cabinet knobs generally come in brass and steel. If you don’t wipe it off regularly, it may eventually rust.

Avoid using material that may cause your cabinet door knob to rust. If the doorknob is painted, double check if any gaps are already chipped. Try to maintain the beauty of your cabinet and also do your best not to overlook the cabinet door knob.

A closet door knob is like your fingernails. It is a part of your body, although it can still be seen small. Just as you take care of your hand and your skin, you should also take care of your nails on the same level.
The moment you see damage, have it repaired eventually. If it’s a peeling paint, you can always re-coat it. If it’s rusty, try to see if it’s still manageable.

Some obsessive compulsive customers eventually return to your hardware store and purchase new stock of cabinet door knobs if yours has lost its touch of magnificence and perfection. After all, they are not expensive anyway. Cabinet door knob prices range from $ 3 to $ 7. Elaborate designs cost about $ 8 a piece.

Simply put, a closet door knob is still a part of the home. Cabinet door knobs, as small as they are, can still say something about your personality to your guests. A well-maintained cabinet should also reflect off your knob, just as a well-maintained hand reflects off your fingernails.

Intellectual Property for Beginners

admin

Shifting so many functions at home and at work to get it all done puts Catholic business moms at risk of missing important, non-urgent tasks.

Managing your intellectual property (IP) easily tops the list of ignored activities.

Understanding the basics of intellectual property now could save you a lot of money and heartache down the road.

So what is intellectual property? Guy McClung, a patent and copyright attorney, defines intellectual property as “non-real, non-dirty, non-physical intangible personal property that results from mental processes.”

Atty McClung distinguishes the four types of intellectual property:

  • Trademarks: a symbol or logo that identifies your company (trade names, trade dress)

  • Trade Secrets – Anything of value to your business that you wouldn’t give to anyone for free. These include the people you include to buy supplies, the customer list, anything of value like a device or process, a collection of information.

  • Copyrights: apply to works of authorship (paintings, artworks, reports, brochures, books, anything produced that can be copied)
  • Patents: deals with inventions (things, processes, methods)

Still not jumping off the couch to get into action?

Here’s why you need to have an IP plan:

  1. Short-term gain for long-term pain: Neglecting your intellectual property needs now could mean that in the future, as your business and brand flourish, you might be asked to change your business name or logo in case you infringe intellectual property. of other. This can have a disastrous effect on your followers and your results.

  2. Give it away for free: Ignorance and inaction about copyright laws could lead you to screwed up book deals where you could lose the rights to your published signature systems. Your content could also be stolen without credit or compensation simply because you didn’t include a copyright symbol at the bottom of every document, website, and social media site.

  3. Giving away the farm: Not recognizing what trade secrets you have and how to keep them protected could easily leave you with former employers without signed disclosure statements and walk away with customer lists, processes, procedures, and contact lists that took you years to accumulate. Even carelessness with computer security protection could compromise your intellectual property in the wrong person’s hands.

Don’t get that itch- “Oh no, I’m doing a lot of bad things feeling and I already have a lot to do!”

An intellectual property plan doesn’t have to be stressful.
