Welding and Gases Online Today
By investing in capital equipment, Ted Boatman, president and general manager, Alloy Custom Products (Lafayette, IN), will be able to reduce the number of hours required to manufacture and repair cryogenic trailers and pass those savings on to customers. “Sales numbers during 2010 may soften by as much as 20% before sales begin to move in the opposite direction. Like everyone else, we are reducing costs and improving efficiencies in order to maintain margins and reduce our pricing to customers.”

Check out peopleoftransit.com
“People Of Public Transit, founded in October 2009, was inspired by People of Walmart.
The public bus and subway systems are littered with amazing photo opportunities. Many of us have been sitting alone witnessing something incredible and wishing we could share the experience with our friends. Well now you can!”

They have awesome designers at amazing prices… the only catch is you have to be right by the computer when the sale opens. I can’t get over how fast some of the stuff is sold! I wonder if they’ll take BlumLux??? Check it out…

It’s my favorite holiday of the year!!! Lake Freeman celebrates every year with a boat parade… this year I was on a mission to win! My crew of friends dressed up as superheroes, decorated the boat, and set off with lots of patriotic spirit. We won first place in our division… and we got a trophy!
I even made the news…

http://www.whatisluxury.com/Portfolios/Portfolio.aspx?ID=95

Since their launch in 2006, BlumLux has been on the forefront of men’s jewelry and watches. Headed by brother and sister duo, BlumLux has been awarded the coveted Rising Star, and the National Jeweler’s Top Men’s Designer.
Known for their stylish yet sophisticated clean lines and attention to detail, BlumLux has been making a name for itself in the watch industry. The classic, yet modern look was designed to be worn for a lifetime.
Designer Nick Blum headed off to Switzerland last winter to fulfill a lifelong goal to create his own line of watches. After making his designs come to life, the “must-have” watch was born. The new watch line, Louie Quattro, is the first line of watches for BlumLux. “designing watches has always been a deep passion of mine since I was a little boy.” said Nick Blum.
The name Louie Quattro was derived from Nick’s father, Louis Franklin Blum III. The Louie Quattro was created to represent the qualities that Nick witnessed in his father: Wisdom. Integrity. Strength. “It is our hope that when you wear your Louie Quattro watch, you will be encouraged to become the man you are meant to be.”
The Louie Quattro collection is hand crafted in Switzerland with a 25 jewel automatic jewel ETA movement. Combining the timeless BlumLux style with exceptional craftsmanship provides men with theperfect arsenal to having the perfect watch. Each watch is curved perfectly to fit the average man’s wrist with supreme comfort and fit!

Late Night with Jimmy Fallon just gave me a blast from the past! Mark-Paul Gosselaar was a guest to promote the premiere of his show, Raising the Bar. Of course, I was interested in anything that “Zack Morris” was on… but to my surprise, Mark-Paul came out dressed and acted like Zack Morris!!! He looked like he had never left Bayside! I guess he has a stash of his Zack Morris wardrobe hidden away at home. He even had his hair right back to the 80’s bleach blond! I was lovin it!!! You MUST check it out… Zack Morris on Jimmy Fallon
