How to feed the family when you’re a busy dad

By EntRP on Jul 29, 2008 in Society | comments(0)

So, living in Gulfport, Mississippi used to be a laid back lifestyle with plenty of free time on my hands. Having a house full of kids and a booming construction industry has now turned me into a top customer at the local Gulfport Dominos Pizza.
Gone are the days of grocery shopping and 4 course meals with my wife.  Ever since hurricane Katrina, everyone’s lives here have been upside down. Gulfport pizza delivery has been about all I’ve had time to for regarding my dinner plans.
Initially I was afraid that eating pizza in Gulfport 5 days a week was going to take a toll on my waistline. My solution: building houses 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. Everyone knows kids love pizza, but I have to admit, seems like we’ve all been fans.

Making Life Sexy

By ER&I on Jul 25, 2008 in Society | comments(0)

Right now is the time to sit down and ask yourself a serious question that you probably don’t want to know the answer to. Ask yourself, "is my life as sexy as I want it to be?" Sadly, the answer is probably no. Luckily, it’s a lot easier to make your life sexy than you think it is.

You see, sexy doesn’t actually have anything at all to do with your adult relationships. Instead, it has to do with the sensuality you feel when approaching life. To make life more sexy, you really just need to start doing a few things here and there that help you to notice the sexiness that’s already all around you.

For example, you might want to look at adding some sexy truck accessories to your truck. Get some fender flares that highlight the curves of the vehicle. Add a bull bar that tells the people you’re following on the highway that you’re something not to be messed with.

Another example can be found in the groceries that you buy. Don’t get the boring prepackaged salad. Get the good stuff. And don’t use plain old dressing on it. Get a fresh lemon and add some real zest.

The little things in life can be enhanced so that we pay more attention to them. Paying more attention to them heightens our awareness of the things in our lives. And that is what makes life more sexy!

Matching the Meter to the Flow

By EntRP on Jul 24, 2008 in Business | comments(0)

There are all kinds of applications for flow meters, but each one requires a different kind of instrument. Companies like Sierra Instruments manufacture a variety of meters to meet the various industrial and commercial needs. There are plenty of companies producing flow meters and flow calibrators, but you need to make sure you use a company that also provides a high level of maintenance and service. When you have state-of-the-art meters like the Ultrasonic Water Flowmeter you have to know that the vendor will be there for you when you need advice, repairs or routine maintenance. 
 
You always hope there will never be any problems when it comes to manufacturing equipment, and the best way to minimize the possibility is by choosing your metering equipment wisely. A liquid flow calibrator or a mass flow controller or even the switches used on your system need to be designed to handle the specific type of material to be measured whether it is gas, liquid or air. But the equipment also needs to be adaptable to the conditions under which the flow will be measured. For example flow meters are used in a number of applications ranging from sewage plants to delicate medical or pharmaceutical laboratories.

Looking for the Perfect Tattoo

By EntRP on Jul 23, 2008 in Society | comments(0)

Though I am approaching thirty years old, I have not had any Tattoos yet. It is not that I have an aversion for them, but rather, I just haven’t found the perfect one for me. I have actually been looking to get a tattoo for the last four years, but none of the tattoo shops in town have exactly what I am looking for.
 
So, I have turned my search to the Internet. I figure that I should be able to find some dragon tattoos that I actually like. I don’t want a generic dragon, but rather something similar to what I have read about in the Dragonlance novels that I read as a child.
 
My wife has also decided that she wants to get one of those lower back tattoos that you see all the women with. She hasn’t decided if she wants to get a butterfly, a dolphin, or a dragon just like me. Sure, it would be cool if she did get a dragon, but I doubt she will – she doesn’t even believe in them.
I think that I will have to look a little more to see if I can find the perfect tattoo – it is just not a decision that I will take lightly.

Rallying for the Cause

By EntRP on Jul 22, 2008 in Business | comments(0)

Government and political conventions and meetings always draw large crowds. Government in action is a great sight to see. The crowds of voters and convention attendees come with high hopes they will have a chance to make a contribution to their country, region, county or city. But events such as these have some special requirements that must be met which include separating the crowd from the politicians for safety reasons. So the crowd control equipment set in place serves many different purposes. First, it must direct people to designated parking. Second, steel or plastic barricades provide security. Third, crowd control barriers direct pedestrian traffic to the areas open to the general public.
 
The complicated nature of controlling crowds in a security situation is made a lot easier with easily moveable directional barriers are used. Without the appropriate use of barriers it is almost impossible to keep individuals in designated areas when a large number of people are present. That’s why you see so many different kinds of barriers in use on television when watching political conventions and rallies. The people charged with keeping public officials safe could not do the job without the use of crowd control fencing and barriers.
