Do you need to bullet proof your home or business?

by Tricia

I don’t know if you have this problem in your City, State, or Province, but lately there’s been a rash of shootings on the streets of Toronto. I’d say it’s picked up dramatically over the last three years or so. Why this is happening, I don’t know, but as a consumer I know that I’d feel much safer if I knew the stores or restaurants that I frequent had bulletproof Glass on the windows facing the main street.

Now, I might be over reacting a bit – but if you lived here you’d be shocked at how often shootings take place, particularly in the downtown area. I know some areas of the US are also plagued by gang warfare, drive by shootings and random shootings- maybe just for the heck of it and I’m sure that many businesses in those areas would also benefit by having bullet proof glass installed in their store front windows. Heck I’m sure some of the people in those areas probably have a need for bullet proof glass on their cars.

Actually I just learned of a product I wasn’t aware of when I was reading the Pacific Bullet Proof site. There’s even a product called bulletproof Fiberglass. I thought that when I first heard the name of the product that it would be used on cars but it can be used on just about anything. It’s a bulletproof material that’s sold in sheets and it looks like it can be used in a number of different ways. Check out their site if you, or perhaps a business owner you know might be interested in learning more about bullet proof products.

I know this wasn’t a gardening topic but for some of you it might relate to home protection. I hope that this information can be of some use to some of my readers. At least you know a little bit more about what’s happening in Toronto lately!

Translation sevices

by Tricia

Do you speak two or three languages well? Have you ever thought of becoming, or are you a translator?

If so, you might be interested in taking a look at Translation Services. This site is becoming known as a translation marketplace. Companies looking for translators for their multilingual projects need look no further as there is a huge data base of translators and interpreters available.

The site is easy to use. Translators can register and create a profile listing the languages they speak and the services they could provide, and companies in need or translation services can browse through the database of translators and find one suitable for their projects needs.

Looking for love in the UK

by Tricia

Loopy Love. Isn’t that a great name for the first UK free online singles dating site. I think it is. I thought that perhaps some of my UK readers who might be trying to find love in the UK might want to check out Loopy love.

The site states that each week, two or three marriages occur between members who met on Loopy love, and that there are 100’s of satisfied members as well.

What’s different about this online dating company, when compared to others, is that there is no initial joining fee. That’s right the service is totally free since it’s funded by the advertising on the site. Now, how many free online or otherwise dating sites are you aware of? Probably very few. Most dating sites charge the male members at the very least.

You can begin your very first search from the front page. Simply choose who you are looking for, man or woman, select the age group that you are interested in, then list an area of the UK in which to find your new love, and hit the quick search button and see how many potential matches you’ve made.

Once you are registered, you are a full member. This only takes minutes BTW, and you’ll be able to do more in depth searches. It would probably be a good idea to complete your profile, and include a photo of yourself first before you start searching. Just in case you make a quick match. Then, once you’ve registered you can run full searches that include more detail than the quick search on the front page, such as searching for someone with a specific hair colour, eye colour, body type, height, ethnicity, religion, education, employment, industry, income, whether they drink or smoking and so on.

All of the members are from the UK, so where ever you are in the UK you should be able to find someone close by who wants to try dating. Maybe several some bodies if you are really lucky. You can receive match alerts by email, plus chat with other members online before meeting them too. I almost forgot, along with adding photos to your profile, there is a video profile option as well. What could be better than seeing a potential match via video.

Visit Loopy love if you are looking to date someone in your area.
