Sometimes we can go to the local department store and find a discount watch that doesn't necessarily look like it is a discount. When you are simply looking for a timepiece to wear for a while, you sometimes can't expect this timepiece to keep its lustre for long periods of time if it only cost you ten dollars. Yet there are inexpensive watches on the market that can last a little bit longer. This is especially true if you are the type of person who likes to change timepieces every few months or have one that is appropriate for each special occasion.
Then too, if you alternate timepieces based on the type of dress you're wearing, you may want to invest in a series of discount watches to switch between when you need to. And you know what's great? Not one of these watches have to look cheap. Sometimes it is simply about personality and what you prefer. Again, if you are the type who likes to change your timepiece every few months, then you don't want to pay for something that is super expensive since it will end up in the jewelry box instead of on your wrist.
So you want to find a discount watch that doesn't look cheap? Do an Internet search to seek what kinds are out there. You want a really good timepiece, so make sure you only decide to deal with dealers who have a good reputation. Even if you're going to wear the watch for a few months, you may want to go back to it later. You may even decide that you want to alternate with it every few months. This is why you want to deal with someone such as a low cost Citizen dealer or a low cost Invicta dealer in order to get the best deal.
So just keep in mind that a discount watch doesn't necessarily have to look cheap. If you have a store in your area that deals with reputable brands of low cost timepieces, give them a look so you can see what kind of quality you can get for a very affordable price, but don't forget that you don't have to sacrifice your personality to get a good deal.

What Is Necessary to Know About Web Design by Jordan Chaplin
There are certain points you must consider when you want to find a web host. You must look into the conditions between finding a gratis web host to end up with the web hosting problem. When you want to select a free web host, the next several essential points must be considered. As a rule, free web hosting never provide enough room for your web site. In case your desire is to enlarge your web site, it is wise to check whether you are able to do such a development. The majority of free web hosts place ads on your web site. Such thing is done for the purpose of covering the expanses of offering you the gratis web place and the extra services. Furthermore, a number of hosts demand from you to locate a sign on your pages, sometimes windows or promotion frames occur on the site. If you require sound files or videos, you must be aware of to the maximum volume of each file. A number of sites as well limit the file forms you can upload. In case someone discovers your site and is eager to enter it but fails to it due to it is down, such person will definitely pay no attention to it and will attempt to choose another available. This is absolutely something that is necessary for you. Moreover, slow access can be extremely disappointing for clients and for you personally. At present, the majority of free web hosts establish a boundary on the number of traffic the web site is permitted to use every day. According to this reason, in case the pages or pictures on your site are extremely popular with users beyond a definite number of times each day, the web host is likely to switch off your web site or simply send you a check for the additional needed room for that time. It is difficult to place a precise minimum level of bandwidth, because it relies on the quality of your site design and level of visiting each day. Many free hosting owners permit you to plan your web pages. For this purpose they suggest their online engineer.

Principles Of HTML Code Optimization by G.Entp18
Just like spring cleaning a house, the html code of your web pages should get periodic cleaning as well. Over time, as changes and updates are made to a web page, the code can become littered with unnecessary clutter, slowing down page load times and hurting the efficiency of your web page. Cluttered html can also seriously impact your search engine ranking.
This is especially true if you are using a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) web design package such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver. These programs will speed up your web site creation, but they are not that efficient at writing clean html code.
We will be focusing this discussion on the actual html coding, ignoring other programming languages that may be used in a page such as JavaScript. In the code examples I will be using ( and ) characters instead of correct html so that the code examples will display properly in this newsletter.
Up until recently when coding a page in HTML we would be using tags such as the (font) tag and (p) paragraph tags. Between these tags would be our page content, text, images and links. Each time a formatting change was made on the page new tags were needed with complete formatting for the new section. More recently we have gained the ability to use Cascading Style Sheets, allowing us to write the formatting once and then refer to that formatting several times within a web page.
In order to speed up page load times we need to have fewer characters on the page when viewed in an html editor. Since we really do not want to remove any of our visible content we need to look to the html code. By cleaning up this code we can remove characters, thereby creating a smaller web page that will load more quickly.
Over time HTML has changed and we now have many different ways to do the same thing. An example would be the code used to show a bold type face. In HTML we have two main choices, the (strong) tag and the (b) tag. As you can see the (strong) tag uses 5 more characters than the (b) tag, and if we consider the closing tags as well we see that using the (strong)( strong) tag pair uses 10 more characters than the cleaner (b)( b) tag pair.
This is our First Principle of clean HTML code: Use the simplest coding method available.
HTML has the ability of nesting code within other code. For instance we could have a line with three words where the middle word was in bold. This could be accomplished by changing the formatting completely each time the visible formatting changes. Consider this code:
(font face="times")This(font) (font face="times")(strong)BOLD(strong)( font) (font face="times")Word(font) This takes up 90 characters.
This is very poorly written html and is what you occasionally will get when using a WYSIWYG editor. Since the (font) tags are repeating the same information we can simply nest the (strong) tags inside the (font) tags, and better yet use the (b) tag instead of the (strong) tag. This would give us this code (font face="times)This (b)BOLD(b) Word(font), taking up only 46 characters.
This is our Second Principle of clean HTML code: Use nested tags when possible. Be aware that WYSIWYG editors will frequently update formatting by adding layer after layer of nested code. So while you are cleaning up the code look for redundant nested code placed there by your WYSIWYG editing program.
A big problem with using HTML tags is that we need to repeat the tag coding whenever we change the formatting. The advent of CSS allows us a great advantage in clean coding by allowing us to layout the formatting once in a document, then simply refer to it over and over again.
If we had six paragraphs in a page that switch between two different types of formatting, such as headings in Blue, Bold, Ariel, size 4 and paragraph text in Black, Times, size 2, using tags we would need to list that complete formatting each time we make a change.
(font face="Ariel" color="blue" size="4")(b)Our heading(/b)(/font) (font face="Times color="black" size="2")Our paragraph(/font) (font face="Ariel" color="blue" size="4")(b)Our next heading(/b)(/font) (font face="Times color="black" size="2")Our next paragraph(/font)
We would then repeat this for each heading and paragraph, lots of html code.
With CSS we could create CSS Styles for each formatting type, list the Styles once in the Header of the page, and then simply refer to the Style each time we make a change.
(head) (style type="text/css") (!-- .style1 { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; font-size: 24px; } .style2 { font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 12px; } --) (/style) (/head) (body) (p class="style1")Heading(/p) (p class="style2")Paragraph Text(/p) (/body)

How is Paper Recycled? by Nancy
Have you ever looked at a package of recycled office paper and wondered how it can look so clean and crisp? Most people think recycled office paper has to be tan or gray; but fortunately great strides in the recycling industry have made remarkable advances in producing high quality, recycled content paper products. To begin recycling paper, the wastepaper must be free of contaminants such as food, plastic and metal. Once this clean paper is separated at a recycling center, it is tightly bundled in a bailer and taken to a paper mill to be made into new products. Different grades of recovered paper are used to make various types of recycled paper products like tissue & towel products, corrugated paper, and printing and writing papers. Recovered papers move through a range of steps. First, it is mixed in the Pulper with water and chemicals. The paper is chopped and heated and broken down into fibers. The result is a mixture of mushy pulp. Next the pulp moves onto the screening phase.
During this procedure pulp is pushed through screens to eliminate bits of plastic and glue. The pulp is further cleaned through another step called the spinning process which separates out the remaining contaminants such as staples. Once the paper is cleaned, it goes through a de-inking process to eliminate any ink or sticky glues from the pulp. Color stripping removes dye from colored paper and bleaching is what makes recycled office paper so white. Most recycled papers, unlike their virgin paper counterparts, are whitened with Hydrogen Peroxide or an Oxygenation process�"not chlorine. After all of this, the pulp is ready for the paper machine. It can either be used alone to create recycled content paper or blended with alternative fibers such as hemp, kenaf, cotton or other fibers to create tree-free papers. It may also be blended with virgin paper fibers to create a partial recycled content paper. After being blended with water, the pulp is sprayed onto screens and runs through a series of press rollers, followed by heated rollers to dry the paper. The finished paper is wound onto giant rolls, then cut down to smaller rolls or sheets. It is finally shipped to converting plants to be made into different paper products, including bright white recycled office paper
Because paper fibers can be recycled six to twelve times, it is advantageous for it to be collected and re-made into paper again! Approximately 80% of paper mills in the United States use some recovered fiber even in their production of new paper and paper products. So next time you have a choice of which paper to purchase reach for the recycled office paper, in particular the 100% post-consumer paper; and do your part to save the environment.
