Comcast Continually Increases the Number of Choices Available to Its Customers

Posted under house plans

Though many different companies are now starting to offer packages that combine communications and entertainment services, Comcast is proving to be the leader at effective and convenient telecommunications bundling. Comcast offers digital cable television, telephone services, and broadband Internet services for extremely simple telecommunications access.

Telephone service is one of Comcast’s newest offerings and is a good example of how the company is improving upon traditional services. With regular phone companies the monthly bill is based on how many features you have on your phone line and how many long distance calls you place. This is not the case with Comcast as all of the company’s phone plans include the most necessary features like call waiting, call forwarding, caller ID, and voice mail, plus offer unlimited local and long distance calling all for one low monthly fee. The complimentary voice mail is even accessible over the Internet, for the optimum flexibility while traveling far from home. With all of these features included in the base plan price, this service is sure to save you money.

The ability to access high speed Internet through Comcast is a convenient way to get the most possible entertainment and information to your home. Broadband Internet access has the advantages of always being connected to the Internet but never tying up your phone line. It also provides incredibly fast web surfing and download speeds that can reach up to one hundred times faster than those of dial-up. In fact, for people used to using dial-up connections, broadband can greatly expand Internet options. Downloads of movies, video clips, songs, games, and other media become possible and the frustration of waiting minutes to view each page when web surfing disappears. The service is improved by the ability to get protection against viruses and other malicious content with both firewalls and MCAfee Anti-Virus software. You will also receive a wireless router with your broadband connection that lets you access the Internet from computers throughout the house as well as use devices that need connections to the Internet.

Of course, even with the newer services from Comcast , the company has not let its cable television offerings decline. In fact, many upgrades to the cable service have increased both the quality and the enjoyability of cable TV. All programming is now in the digital format for the highest quality sound and picture, and there are even many options available in High Definition Television (HDTV). Special premium movie channels, sports programming, and other options offer even more programming choices than the 275 channels available through the Comcast programming packages. Plus, with every programming package, you have access to local channels and dozens of digital music channels. Comcast HD programming is terrific.

Comcast has also increased its subscriber’s viewing flexibility with its new ON DEMAND choices. These are available with every programming package and offer a much more convenient way of watching new release movie than even traditional Pay Per View can provide. With Comcast ON DEMAND, movies can be watched at any time, watched multiple times or even rewound or paused during the viewing window. This makes them much more convenient than renting videos from a store or even watching a Pay per View movie.

With Comcast’s services including cable television, state of the art telephone service and broadband Internet, there is no reason to look to any other telecommunications provider for your communications needs. The current Comcast promotional offers are terrific. It is time to switch to the best cable company in with the best cable deals.

I am looking on how to install vinyl railing on a victorian house widow's walk.?

Posted under Victorian houses

I am restoring a victorian house and the railing on the third floor has a railing around two windows that were called the widow's walk. I found railing at Loews and Home depot however I am not sure how to install the railing or what the process is to start. If anyone can give me any suggestions I would appreciate it.

I work for a vinyl railing manufacturer, called Fairway vinyl systems. The railing is very easy to install. Our railing has a bracket system, the brackets attach to a post, then you lay your rail in the bracket, put your pickets in the rail….screw the rail to the bracket and put a cover on the black bracket. I have put in our website….there are all the instructions for railing, and fencing. Hope this helps you out.

Living History/Reenactment Group In Southern CA?

Posted under Southern living

I'm really into the Old West, and am interested in checking out and possibly joining a living history/reenactment group. I live in Southern CA. How do I get started?

The first step would be to find an organization that participates in the type of reenacting that you are interested in doing. The group will take you through the steps of joining their ranks. They can help you find the equipment and attire needed to participate. Their knowledge is invaluable. Don't try going alone using only the internet as a resource. Best of luck! Happy Reenacting! -Matt

My new house is called Maling cottage. What does that mean and how can i find out how old the property is?

Posted under cottage houses


You can go to the library and look and the old street maps of the town/ village. It won't be 100% as I think they were done every 4 years, but it will be a starting place. If its a very old property a local museum, or historian may help. When I bought a Victorian house we were told the age and were given the history of the house too. This was only given as the solicitor found them during the search and found it fascinating.

10 Steps to Creating Your Smalll Business Disaster Plan

Posted under house plans

I’m a recent Hurricane Rita evacuee and survived the evacuation and the ensuing hurricane. Running from a hurricane isn’t something I’ve ever had to do before, nor is it something I’d ever like to do again. However, as a solo business owner, I’m quite thankful that I have a virtual business. The fact that I’m virtual and can operate from anywhere that there’s electricity and phone service was of great help to me in this disaster and helped me reopen my business a scant 4 days after the landfall of Hurricane Rita.

As a solopreneur, what can you do to make your business disaster-proof? It seems that we have an increasing number of hurricanes making landfall in the coastal states, and add to that an increased number of other types of natural disasters like tornadoes, earthquakes, wildfires, mud slides, ice storms, blizzards, etc. makes me think that there is no ideal location in which to operate a business. Now accepting that natural disasters are here to stay, here’s what I learned from my hurricane evacuation that helped me get my business back up and running quickly:

1. Know the location of your vital papers. You should be able to quickly put into a folder the following for you and your family: your marriage license, birth certificate, social security card, driver’s license or state ID card, car title/mortgage info and insurance contact info, house deed/mortgage info and insurance contact info, employee ID card, and apartment lease or copy of a utility bill. In a disaster, you’ll be asked to prove where you live and that you are who you claim you are, especially when applying for disaster assistance.

2. Have an online backup of all of your computer data. I back up my computer in two ways–to an external portable hard drive as well as to an online backup service. I use both because my files are my livelihood — I would be dead in the water without them — so I want to leave absolutely no room to lose my data. For my external backup, I use a 30 GB portable drive made by Iomega, www.iomega.com, and for my online backup, I have 10 GB of space that I pay for at XDrive, www.xdrive.com.

3. Create an file with vital contact information. I copied a file with all of my usernames and passcodes for websites, bank accounts, etc. to my USB flash drive (a key chain-like device with 512 MB or 1 GB of memory — I use one from Lexar, www.lexar.com) as well as the physical and email addresses and all phone numbers of friends, clients and family members — anyone I needed to contact during the evacuation period. You’ll also want to take along your children’s school contact info to be able to check on the current operating status of your child’s school, as well as local media website info. My lifeline in getting current information about my home city was through the websites of Beaumont’s newspapers and television and radio stations. If you keep your contact info in Outlook and have a Yahoo account, Yahoo offers a synchronization feature in which you can synchronize all of your info in Outlook to your Yahoo account. Find out more here: http://help.yahoo.com/help/intsync. All you need to access your info in Yahoo is a computer and to know your username and password.

4. Know the primary office/computer equipment that will be required to get your business up and running. I had operated with a minimal amount of my office equipment recently due to my being a house sitter for a friend for 2 months. So, upon receiving the mandatory evacuation order, I knew in relatively short order that to run my business, I needed my desktop PC, flat panel monitor, wireless mouse and keyboard, speakers, modem and associated cords, backup portable external hard drive, office telephone and associated cords, laptop computer, printer, box of software, and scanner. It sounds like a great deal of equipment, but I packed it all into 2 boxes from UHaul (1 small and 1 medium box). I knew I could work for at least 2 months comfortably with just this equipment.

5. Primary paper files for your clients/business. I have 2 sets of files — ones for the immediate short-term that I use frequently and my lateral file drawer files that are primarily reference files. I grabbed the contents of the two drawers of my 2-drawer file cabinet (which hold my immediate short-term files), all of which fit into one small UHaul box.

6. A backup telephone plan. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do for phone service for my business, as all of my clients are scattered across the US and in Canada. Just to be safe, I upgraded my cell phone plan, and had a prepaid calling card (purchased an AT&T calling card at Sam’s, www.samsclub.com) at my disposal if I needed it. As luck would have it, my hotel offered an unlimited Internet access/long distance plan for an additional $1.88 per day, so I happily signed up for that, saving myself a fortune in phone calls and Internet service fees.

7. A backup Internet access plan. Since power restoration to my home was estimated at 2-8 weeks, I had to find temporary lodgings. I looked for a hotel that offered high speed Internet access and was able to use their system for my Internet access. However, once I found the hotel, I also called the tech support of my DSL ISP and found the local dial-up numbers for the area in which the hotel is located. I never had to use the dial-up service, but it was good info to have. If you have cable or DSL Internet service, now is the time to discover alternate Internet access plans to be able to get online should your DSL or cable access be out-of-service. You should also know how to access your email online through your ISP if you don’t have access to your computer. If your ISP doesn’t offer a version of webmail, you can use this service free-of-charge, www.mail2web.com.

8. Adequate office supplies for a month. I threw in pens, pencils, post-it notes, a calculator, stamps, envelopes, tape, stapler, paper clips, note pads, etc. that would last me at least a month while I was out of my office. I used a portable plastic file case in which to carry these items.

9. Outline of your office procedures to help you operate independently or be able to delegate tasks. I carry much of my info in my head to run my office, or have what I need stored in various files across my computer. What makes more sense for the future is to document all of my office procedures, as well as computer and client info, so that everything I need is in one document. I can then upload this doc to my Yahoo account, my backup files, or carry it with my on my USB flash drive. My colleague, Jean Hanson, has designed a great template that asks you to note and record everything someone would need to know to get your business back up and running. It’s the Home Office Procedures Manual, available for purchase here: http://tinyurl.com/bagxs

10. Digital camera to record the event and/or record damages to personal property. I wish I’d had a digital camera to record all that I witnessed during my evacuation from Hurricane Rita. My sister took tons of pics, but I would’ve loved to have had the same opportunity. More importantly, however, is the need for a digital camera to record damage to your home and property. In a wide-spread disaster, it can be at least a month before your insurance adjuster will be able to assess damages to your property. In the meantime, however, you need to start repairs, like placing a tarp on your roof, boarding up broken windows, removing downed trees from your house or yard, or cleaning your refrigerator of spoiled food. In many cases, your insurance will cover the repairs or food replacement, but you need to carefully document the “before” scenario in order to receive compensation for your loss.

Don’t let a natural disaster destroy your business. Take some time now to prepare your disaster-readiness plan, and get back into business as soon as you can!
