The Things I Have Done

I come to you knowing
I am unworthy of your presence
Bowing my head
In shame and sadness
The Things I Have Done

I am that man
The one who turned his back on you
Breaking rule after rule
Unable to look at myself in the mirror
The Things I Have Done

You look back at me with kindness
A teardrop rolls down my cheek
You reach out your hand to me
Knowing my heart
And The Things I Have Done

You gave your life for mine
Suffering physical and mental agony
Dying on that cross
For one such as me
For The Things I Have Done

.....My Life Is Yours!

MXQ TV Box Review

My wife bought this MXQ TV box. Sadly, I never heard of these TV boxes. I am a television fan, but obviously don't keep up with electronics. Well, we tried to use this in the upstairs TV, but we could not get an internet connection. We took it down stairs where everything is hooked up and it works perfectly. Pros are you can watch almost anything on this box. It's like cable, you have more than you would ever use. I also like the easy set up and the remote. Cons-some of the programs are still basic and have not been updated. There were a few movies which made me feel like I still had an old black and white television. For under 40 bucks, this is a cool little toy that will keep you, your wife and your kids busy for days, weeks, etc.

Set up time-less than a minute. Although it takes the thing a few minutes to update itself.

Pipes and Tubing for Many Uses

Pipes as vessel to transport liquids have been used since Roman times, when lead or clay pipes were used to carry water to its cities. Wood, steel and clay pipes have been used throughout history. Since that time, tubing and piping for commercial and industrial purposes has evolved substantially. 

In modern times, a wide variety of tubing and pipes are produced to carry a larger variety of materials. The applications for quality pipe and tubing are endless. Quality contractors and builders understand that matching the tubing to the job requires more than just measuring the length needed and the diameter necessary to carry the load. The liquid to be transported and the jobsite environmental factors play a large role in choosing the right tubing.

• Carbon Steel pipe and tubing – The most popular choice for general applications due to its high durability and cost effectiveness. It can be used in boiler applications, heat exchangers, and to transport steam. It also withstands the effects of vibration and temperature differential;

• Stainless Steel pipe – When mild corrosion and rust inhibition is a factor, stainless steel can perform the job and remain cost effective. Interior boilers waste and water treatment and desalinization plants are common applications;

• Nickel Chromium – It provides excellent protection against corrosion and can be used for many acidic chemicals. It also has a very high heat tolerance, for high temperature applications;

• Hastelloy pipe – Where severely corrosive liquids are transported, hastelloy pipe and tube are the material of choice. It can be used in industrial applications such as chemical reactors. High temperature tolerance is another advantage.

Selecting a quality tubing and pipe manufacturer can make or break a successful construction project. Premature failure of piping or tubing in a finished project can lead to disaster and costly repairs. It can also cost a construction company its reputation. Taking the time to match the job to the material is essential

The quality manufacturer will ensure that appropriate ASTM standards are followed in material production. It will also have a multi step inspection process during the manufacturing stage to eliminate potential defects. It will also manufacture its product in a number of different materials, to meet the needs of the contractor and the project at hand. It will also have a proven track record for reliability and quality. To learn more about the piping available for the next industrial project, click here.

3 Accessories to Consider Purchasing for Your New Samsung Phone

You've purchased a new Samsung phone, and as excited as you may be, you might realize that it looks exactly like everyone else's Samsung phone. Customizing your phone with accessories is a great way to make it your own and ensure that it won't get taken by someone who confused it for theirs. Gel skins for Samsung Galaxy S2, for example, serve two purposes - they give your phone a personalized look and they can help protect it against damage if dropped. Here are three phone accessories you might consider purchasing your Samsung.

Gel Skins

The best gel skins will protect your phone against scratches, dust and damage caused by drops in addition to changing its look. Choose from a range of colors, patterns and graphics, and if you're a hardcore fan of a sports team, music group or movie, chances are good there's a skin with that logo or picture waiting to be purchased. Gel skins are also known to provide added grip that prevents your phone from accidentally sliding out of your hand, and because it's built to fit your specific phone model perfectly, phone buttons will still function as intended.

Cell Phone Wallets

The size of cell phones has grown over the last few years, but not necessarily the size of clothing pockets. This means that if you used to store your phone in your back jeans pocket, that's no longer a viable option. Wallets designed for cell phones, including Samsung models, are a great alternative. They safely store your phone and prevent unwanted scratches while in your backpack or purse. Plus, it keeps your credit cards, cash and identification safely organized in one place.

Flip Covers

Your cell phone's screen may be the most important component. If it's scratched, smudged or cracked, the usefulness of the phone can be severely compromised. A flip cover attaches to your Samsung by replacing the battery cover. Fold the cover over the screen for protection and fold under when in use. Available in a variety of colors, this is one more accessory worth your consideration.

Cell phone accessories are excellent for personalizing your Samsung and protecting it as well. Gel skins, phone wallets and flip covers are available in a myriad of colors, patterns and styles, so chances of you finding the ones that suit your preferences are great. 

New Silos Offer More Protection for Business Owners

When you first hear the word silo, you might immediately think of the large metal structures that you see on farms along the side of roads in your area. Farms use silos as a way to protect grain and other food products from the weather and the moisture outside. Even the smallest amount of rain that gets inside a silo can wipe out an entire season's worth of grain. Many companies now use silos as storage tanks to protect the products they sell or pass on to consumers.

Cycle Protection

The problem that some business owners have with silos is that they need to remove some of the materials inside that silo or add extra materials to that structure. Depending on the type of material stored inside, this can lead to a variety of different problems. There is a risk that the material might break down over time or that it might separate. The newest silo storage tanks offer protection against those problems. As the business cycles through different materials, the silos will keep the materials inside from degrading or from separating. Many companies use a special type of sealant inside to protect against these problems.

Liquid Storage

One of the more common reasons why companies use these large silos is for the storage of liquid materials, which includes everything from milk and water to gasoline and hazardous chemicals. Basic silos will not offer protection for liquids. These silos can actually break down when exposed to certain types of chemicals too. Manufacturers today work with customers to show them how the metal used in the silo reacts to different materials and what they can do to prevent those reactions. They can use different types of metals or coatings to protect the structures.

Tank and Silo Combinations

Another way in which silo manufacturers changed these structures to better help customers is with a combination tank and silo. This type of structure consists of a storage tank that allows business owners to store a larger amount of materials on hand. The tank connects to the silo, which usually has some type of spigot, faucet or another component that allows workers to remove the material inside or add more materials as needed. Many systems continually fill the silo with materials from the tank. These new silos have a number of benefits for commercial companies and business owners.

Slow Down Into The New Year

The kids are back in school, the weather's cold (even a bit in Florida) and 2016 is here. I know many people make New Year's resolutions. You want to lose weight or do a better job in your life for the New Year. Here is my suggestion, slow down in the New Year.

Life is hard in many ways. You are busy getting the kids to school and back. You are trying to succeed at your job and become successful. Slow down and enjoy every moment you have with your family. Slow down and stop the anxiety and stress you may be dealing with in your job. If you are religious like I am, slow down and check out God's instructions for your life.

I walk a lot and I watch people fly through Stop Signs every day. Too many people are in a hurry to do everything they need to get done. They no longer think about other people and how their actions affect them. Slow down, stop for three seconds and think. Relax and enjoy every minute of your lives. Slow Down into the New Year.
