Canadel Furniture Information

by scorpachie on February 8, 2011

If you are looking for your unique piece of dining furniture Canadel Furniture may be the solution you are looking for.  While it costs more than the average dining or kitchen table, the quality is hard to beat.  Why are they one of the best?

  1. Catalyzed Lacquer Finish-  The finish is literally baked on the furniture.  This not only prevents chips and dents, but also helps you avoid water rings or water marks left by a wet glass and staining.
  2. Solid Birch- The wood used by Canadel is top quality Birch which gives a beautiful and rich look. Birch looks a lot like maple in grain and is considered a “hard wood.”
  3. Custom Choices- Canadel has over 70 finishes and over 55 fabrics to chose from.  Chose your table size and shape, then you can actually chose the leg or pedestal style for the table and the leg style for most chairs.  Then you can chose the edge(profile) of your table. Distressed or matte finish.  All that then you can even get Coran or Zodiaq.
  4. Solid Construction-  Table: Solid wood including sliding tracks, blocked corners, undersides of tables are completely sealed with ultraviolet seal coat and reinforced with anti-warp boards to prevent warping due to humidity.  Chairs: Blocked to prevent twisting and cracking, chair joints are glued and nailed(or screwed), legs are individually adjusted to eliminate rocking, backs of chairs are steam-bent to prevent cracks and are nailed and glued for strength and durability.

Yeah, they’re top-notch.  So, where do you purchase such a fine piece of furniture? (Made entirely in North America)  Several high-end retailers sell Canadel, but you will find Kitchen Tables and More by Dinette Gallery in Columbus, Ohio has the lowest price.

Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy in Sarasota

by epiphanyadmin on December 9, 2010

One thing that seems to be true in medicine (at least for my personal approach): when possible, it’s a good idea to let the body heal itself.

Obviously there are situations that require intervention — bleeding from hacking myself with a knife in the kitchen calls for a band-aid… that sort of thing. But I tend to be suspicious of introducing too many foreign substances (I don’t count ibuprofen or acetaminophen as being all that foreign) into my system.

But what if modern medicine found a way to take the body’s own healing mechanisms and focus them directly on an injury? That would be something, wouldn’t it? Well… it turns out that’s exactly what Platelet Rich Plasma therapy is all about.

The leading practitioner of this relatively new medical technique in our area is a neurologist by the name of Dr. Dan Kassicieh. He’s been having fantastic success treating patients who have various types of joint pain — even folks who’ve had failed surgeries — using PRP. Sarasota seems to have plenty of folks, from professional athletes to retirees, who would otherwise be staring down surgery and a long recovery time if it weren’t for this amazing new therapy.

The process involves taking blood from the patient, separating out the platelets (which are natural triggers for your body’s healing processes) and then injecting them in just the right spot as part of a soupy mix of other stuff in order to help the body heal itself.

The result? A nearly pain-free procedure that helps people avoid surgery and the use of narcotics (read: addictive) to manage pain. And the patient ends up with regenerated tissue after a few weeks of letting the body do its thing.

Basically… your body heals itself after a little kick in the hind parts. I like it!

If you’re facing surgery or are in pain, check out this Platelet Rich Plasma Sarasota website to learn more!

Tax Day Tea Party in Sarasota

by davidgjohnson on April 6, 2009

With all the buzz around having a modern-day “Boston Tea Party,” and using tea bags as a way to let people know we’re fed up with all the taxes, it’s no surprise that a couple of different groups are organizing events in the local community.

The Sarasota Tea Party will be happening at Noon near downtown on tax day. Another group is organizing the Lakewood Ranch Tea Party for later in the day.

Maybe you can make it to both of them?

Get Inspired, Motivated and Trained!

by davidgjohnson on March 16, 2009

If you’re a business owner or entrepreneur, I want to pass along a resource that will be of interest to you. Recently, I was invited to conduct a breakout session at a conference with Gary Keesee, a successful entrepreneur who is passionate (as am I) about passing along the hard-won lessons he has learned.

The event — known as The Now Revolution Conference — was held in Columbus, Ohio. When Gary and I spoke about it, he mentioned that a growing number of business owners (and future business owners) have been attracted to what he’s doing and he also indicated that they needed other training than just what he was providing. Very specifically, he asked me to do some teaching about what we at Epiphany Marketing do every day to help small businesses with:

  • marketing strategies
  • customized marketing solutions
  • internet marketing
  • search engine marketing
  • content marketing
  • email marketing
  • strategic marketing
  • integrated campaigns
  • offline marketing
  • direct response marketing
  • etc.

It was my privilege and honor to be alongside Gary and the other fantastic speakers at this event, as well as to be able to meet so many wonderful people who participated in the conference.

In a Financial Mess?

by beatthecreditors on November 25, 2008

In this economy, with so many big businesses in trouble, jobs getting lost, and mortgage payments getting adjusted, you’re not alone if you find yourself in a tight spot financially.

If you’re one of the many people having a hard time right now, then hopefully you’ll find ways to resolve the issues. If the problems linger, however, then you’ll probably find yourself dealing with creditors who are itching to collect.

Work with them. Talk to them. Try to resolve the issues.

If those things fail however, or if they pull a stunt like filing for foreclosure, then it’s time to go on the offensive.

The fact is that you can beat your creditors at their own game. And if, like so many others, you’ve tried in good faith to reach deals but have found the creditors unwilling to be reasonable, then take them on with a clean conscience.

The LIFE Study is a personalized, independent, objective evaluation of your existing life insurance. Created by financial advisors (not by life insurance companies), The LIFE Study is uniquely designed to uncover the hidden, overlooked, and lesser-known opportunities to lower your costs and improve your coverage. Life Insurance is often one of the most valuable assets within a family’s financial portfolio. Yet very few people ever give it the same kind of attention as they might give their other investments. Think of reviewing your life insurance in the same way you might consider refinancing your mortgage. Just as there can be lower interest rates enabling you to save money on your mortgage, there can be improved conditions to strengthen your life insurance. The difference is that these benefits are not as widely published or known as are mortgage interest rates!

Sometimes referred to as a ‘life insurance audit’, The LIFE Study approach is unique. It’s a quick yet comprehensive analysis that weighs your personal and policy information to determine where your policy ranks within the most up-to-date insurance market data. In addition, we’ll look at the top life insurance companies and their policies to see where improvements may be found and present you with a comprehensive report of our findings.

Click here for a sample LIFE Study Report!

Best of all, this information comes to you from a seasoned, objective third-party, Your LIFE Study Analyst!

Drywall Texture Machine New Website

by americanspray on November 18, 2008

Would you like to see the Kodiak in action, spraying a knock down drywall texture?  Then visit the ALL NEW texture rig website – www.texturetalk.com  or Simply Click on the Picture Below!

 

The Kodiak drywall sprayer has been the contractor’s #1 choice when it comes to a dependable portable spray rig that sprays as well as a trailored texture rig.  The M2 Kodiak can spray fire proofing, EIFS, Drywall Textures, American Clay & more!  For years contractors wanted a texture machine that was portable yet had the power of a spray rig w/out the cost, they were tired of the inconsistencies of a diaphragm pump, perastaltic pump (squeeze pump) or the pressure pots.  Those pumps did not deliver the performance drywall contractors were looking for until they came across the patented M2 Kodiak portable texture sprayer. 

Don’t take our word for it, see what contractors just like yourself had to say about their investment in the M2 Kodiak portable spray texture machine!  -  www.texturetalk.com

Brad Tannas w/Capital Drywall

“I could not use my diaphragm pump to spray the knock down.  The Kodiak sprays 3 times faster than the handheld hopper when I spray knockdown now, the Kodiak puts out a lot of material.”

Charlie Powers, Delta United Specialties Inc.

“With a diaphragm pump it took up to 2 days to spray, “What I now can do in less than one day…my spray guys are tickled pink with the Kodiak”.

Don Spranger, Drywall Associates

“The diaphragm pump takes twice as much time… What takes 4 hours with the diaphragm pump takes us 2 hours with the Kodiak… It will blow your socks off if you let it”.

Blog from Holly A. Magister, CPA, CFP®–November 10, 2008

So Glad To Be an Entrepreneur During This Financial Mess!

Holly A. Magister, CPA, CFP®, founder of Enterprise Transitions, LLP

November 10, 2008

This may be quite contrary to what one may think when all you hear is doom and gloom through the media about the financial mess we are in.  Mess, yes indeed, we have a mess on our hands!  However, I truly believe that people in America are the most resilient people on earth.  And the most resilient people I know are Entrepreneurs.  They have built our country and will be the greatest contributors to the solution to the mess we are in.
 
Frankly, what Wall Street, Main Street, and Congress find most concerning is what the lack of credit available to Entrepreneurs will do to our economy.  Entrepreneurs are Business Owners that create and maintain more jobs in America than any other category of employer.  Without affordable and accessible credit, Entrepreneurs will not order inventory.  Likewise, rent, utilities, and payrolls cannot be paid.  There is nothing more important to an Entrepreneur than cash provided through the availability of credit.  And there is nothing more critical to the American economy than credit.
 
What I find ironic about the financial mess that we are in is that the mess was not created by Entrepreneurs while the lack of credit available to Entrepreneurs is bringing the American economy to its knees.  The banking industry was incentivized to write bad mortgage loans and indeed they did so for more than a decade.  Entrepreneurs did not create this mess!
 
Entrepreneurs are innately capable to deal with messes.  They do it every day and they do it very well!  The Entrepreneurs that I have the pleasure to work with have already developed their “Plan B and Plan C”.  Many of them do it on the back of an envelope; many do it when they are not sleeping at three o’clock in the morning.  Nothing pretty, nonetheless, they have a plan. 
 
We are living at a time that we will remember and talk about for decades.  I cannot wait to see how the most resourceful, resilient people in America clean up this mess–the Entrepreneur.
