carpet cleaners

Having a clean home or office is one of those essential requirements that can't be questioned - but how we go about this is by no means a straightforward task. Whilst larger offices will no doubt have their own cleaning staff, often subcontracting to a professional outfit like carpet cleaners holly springs nc can mean efficient cleaning without having to worry about staffing issues. Similarly, smaller businesses who have to manage their own cleaning (often left to younger or lower-ranking staff) could benefit from having in a team of cleaners once a week or twice a month to give the whole place the 'once over'.
It's not only businesses to that like to create a good impression, and with a busy family, it may well be a real blessing to be able to hand over domestic cleaning chores to an outside contractor too.

hard drive eraser software

I have bought many a hard-drive from eBay for my own computers and those of friends/family that I have repaired. Buying hard-drives in this manner is all very well and can save you a lot of money, however, previously used hard-drives need to be treated with caution. There are a couple of essential steps that should always be carried out if you are planning to re-use a drive from someone else's computer:

At the very least use a decent anti-virus and anti-malware software to scan for unwanted files, but ideally, get yourself some decent hard drive eraser software and wipe the drive clean of anything that was previously there. Now I don't really want to get into details, but suffice to say that if the previous owner of the hard-drive downloaded anything that they shouldn't have, simply reformatting the drive DOES NOT erase all trace of the previous files - it simply assigns the space as 'available' - A thorough search of the data remaining on the drive AFTER formatting will uncover most of the previous owners files. Hard drive eraser software will overwrite the previous data, and therefore actually delete it from the hard-drive.

medical bankruptcy statistics

The UK is fortunate to have the medical 'safety net' of the National Health Service still meeting most people's medical needs without resorting to insurance or private healthcare. In the US, it is a whole different ball game, and one look at the medical bankruptcy statistics will tell you how devastating the financial effects of paying for medical procedures can be.
Many people are having to resort to declaring themselves bankrupt in order to avoid huge medical liabilities that would otherwise see them in absolute poverty.

Summer Update

It seems an update is long overdue, but due to pressure of my daily work, there has been little progress in the sphere of my online 'work'. I actually have seen a small upturn in interest for turning cassettes into CD's after a few months with little or no interest at all. Passive earnings have been erratic - but recent activity must have triggered a payment from one of my affiliates that I have had for years without having seen any reward. $35 appeared in my PayPal account without any warning, which is always nice... I think it has taken about 3 years to amass enough to trigger a payment.
I have finally been awarded a log-awaited pay increase at work and am planning to buy my company car which will save me around £1000 a year in tax - things are looking up!
I would love to be able to plan some online strategy and it is always at the back of my mind, however I have to concentrate on work and family before considering online domination... I have lots of half-formed plans and very little time to do anything about them. I haven't even done my tax return yet which is very lax for me.
I hope by the time I come to do my next update I will able to report that the tax return has been completed - I have recently been hankering after a tablet computer to use around the house, so am thinking of offsetting some of my online profits by getting a cheap Android tablet - especially since I have enjoyed my Android phone so much - I have half an eye on eBay although I am not sure it's a great idea to buy a tablet from eBay, as recent experiences have been sketchy to say the least.

batons

Self defense is a fact of life that we all have to consider, and requirements may vary according to where you live, and what the local laws allow. Equipment ranges from firearms and batons to hand-held alarm systems and can encompass a massive range of options.
Of course, not all self-defense is dependent on weaponry, and self-defense skills such as martial arts can also be a deterrent to attack.

Home Business Tips For Moms



I found a great website entitled: Home Business Tips For Moms, and although I am a Dad rather than a Mom, I found the content to be extremely useful...

The blogger in question (Amber) is geared towards affiliates and 'passive' income, which is well worth looking at when you are trying to make an income from a blog or from a website.

Amber's money-spinner is 'network marketing' with low start-up costs, and you can read more about how she makes money on-line on her blog.
Of course her tips and recommendations are good for everyone regardless of whether they are a Mom or not...
