Get Ready for the Rainy Days of Summer: Five Signs of Water Damage to Residential Roofing

Orlando, FL (PRWEB) May 28, 2013

Water can be one of the biggest and most costly sources of damage to a home. Ice, hail and wind-driven rain are destructive forces that can ravage a roof, splinter wood, and expose vulnerabilities in siding and stucco. As a professional roofing contractor and host of In the House with Ken & Jared home improvement radio show, Jared Mellick encounters extreme water damage on a regular basis. If caught early, moisture intrusion may result in the need for minimal repair. However, because the average homeowner is not prone to climbing up on the roof or frequenting his attic space, many undiscovered water leaks turn into full roof replacement jobs, which can average ten to fifteen thousand dollars.

According to Mellick, here are several signs of potential water damage that homeowners can watch for to avoid costly roof and reconstruction repairs:

Agoda.com gets Ready for Songkran with Hotel Specials in Bangkok and Chiang Mai

Singapore (PRWEB) March 20, 2013

Agoda.com, Asias leading hotel booking site and part of Nasdaq-listed Priceline Group (Nasdaq:PCLN), is offering fantastic hotel deals in Bangkok and Chiang Mai to celebrate Songkran, the Thai New Year.

The celebration is the biggest holiday of the year in Thailand Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve all rolled into one. This year the official celebration days are April 13-15, with a few days tagged on to either end to compensate for the holiday falling on a weekend. It also might be a bit longer or shorter, depending on location for instance, celebrations in Chiang Mai often go for a full week. Songkran is truly one of those events on a scale that has to be seen to be believed, and its hard to imagine that it came from such humble beginnings.

Observed in one form or another for hundreds of years in several Asian countries, it originally celebrated the end of the dry season. In Thailand, it marked the start of a new lunar calendar and was a chance for families to get together and celebrate a (hopefully) successful year gone by and pray for a successful year ahead. Visits to temple were a priority, as was the washing of Buddha images with scented water, which was then collected and poured over the hands or shoulders of family elders as a blessing.

Fast forward a few hundred years. While there is still a great emphasis placed on community, family and temple visits, the most visible part of the celebration is the wild and raucous street parties giant, no-holds-barred water fights where anyone wanting to stay dry will find it a hopelessly lost cause. The mood is festive, to say the least, and strangers will approach with handfuls of powder to rub into cheeks and hair while yelling Sawa Dee Bhee Mai! (Happy New Year!) as water splashes down all around. Luckily, it coincides with the hottest week of the year, so a full-body splashdown is usually a most welcome diversion when temperatures are bumping up against 40 degrees Celsius.

If a trip to Thailand is in the cards for this holiday, there are a few things one must be aware of:

Do come to any water fights armed with the essentials water gun (available at any store around this time), plastic bags for wallet/phone, goggles or sunglasses, and clothes that can get dirty.

Dont forget that its a bad idea for females to wear skimpy clothes. Doing this and jumping into wild, wet crowds that are in full-on party mode is a bad idea in any country.

Do plan the day carefully. Head out with friends, have a meeting place if the group gets separated, and drink lots of water (just not the stuff thats being splashed around).

Dont expect to go out and stay dry, even in non-party zones. If hit by a stray splash or someone runs up and throws a cup of water without warning, dont flip out its done in fun and is meant as a blessing.

Do remember that Songkran is all about enjoying the celebration. Its never ideal when some jokester shoots a jet of ice-cold water a crowd or a bit of powder gets smooshed into some eyes, but laugh it off and continue the revelry. After all, this is the Land of Smiles!

As one of the more unique and memorable holidays one is likely to encounter, a trip to Thailand for Songkran is something everyone should do. Take a look at the hotels below and get ready for a wild, wet vacation!

Get Ready for Bathing Suit Season by Reading Custom Labels for Nutraceuticals

Denver, CO (PRWEB) April 24, 2013

Lightning Labels, custom label and sticker printing leader, is alerting manufacturers that summer is just around the corner, and with it comes a major consumer focus on weight loss, which means more shoppers are focused on the nutrition facts and ingredients on custom labels for nutraceuticals.

While spring may have just sprung, millions of consumers - especially those in warmer regions - are already thinking about slimming down for beach weather and attire. They're hitting the gym and watching their diets to make the most of bathing suit season this year. That means they're looking for products that will help them lose winter weight and look great. As they shop around for food, beverages and supplements, consumers are focusing on ingredients and nutritional labels. Give shoppers the information they need with high-quality custom nutraceutical labels.

"There are several periods throughout the year that consumers tend to focus on their health, and the weeks leading up to beach season is one of those times," said AnneMarie Campbell, Business Development Manager at Lightning Labels. "Today's shoppers have become avid label readers and look for very specific ingredients and nutritional components in the products they consume. Brands can tap into the pool of health-conscious shoppers this spring by placing custom created digitally printed stickers and labels on their food, beverage and supplement offerings."

2 Benefits to Enhancing Products with Custom Stickers for Nutraceuticals:

Because consumers are focused on labels to find healthy items, the right custom stickers for nutraceuticals can turn browsers into buyers. Here are two other benefits to revamping nutraceutical labels this season:

1. Comply with Regulations Without Sacrificing the Aesthetic Appeal of Product Stickers and Labels

There are strict federal regulations governing what must and cannot go in nutrition fact charts and ingredients lists. However, if nutraceutical label content is poorly designed and formatted, brands risk overwhelming consumers and losing the potential to turn them into loyal customers. Lightning Labels' high-resolution digital printing allows manufacturers to create stickers and labels that are both legally compliant and legible.

2. Get a Great Unit Price on Any Size Order Custom Nutraceutical Labels

In addition to creating legible, clean and unique nutraceutical labels, Lightning Labels offers them at an affordable price - no matter the size order! Digital printing allows companies to order large batches for major products and smaller amounts for label tests and seasonal marketing purposes.

As a special bonus for those who want to receive special label discounts and packaging promotions from Lightning Labels, all those who enter the 2013 Lightning Labels Sweepstakes through April 30, 2013 - done by signing up for the Lightning Labels mailing list - will be automatically entered for a chance to win an iPad Mini. The 2013 Lightning Labels Sweepstakes is accessible from the Lightning Labels Facebook page. The winner of the iPad Mini will be chosen at random. One submission per individual is allowed and all entrants must be 18 years of age or older and legal residents of one of the 50 states or Washington, D.C. Additional terms and conditions apply. See the rules for details.
