Creative Gazebos Selected as Gazebo of Choice for US Government Contract for Third Year in a Row

Leave a comment

Creative Gazebos by Limerock Gazebos has been selected on the basis of price, quality and selection to provide Gazebos to US military and base locations for a third consecutive year. Gazebos are effective and attractive structures which serve well as event and waiting areas, employee break structures, and for adding a bit of charm and scenic relief.

Lancaster County, PA, June 21, 2012 (Straight Line PR) — Limerock Gazebos, an Amish gazebo manufacturer in the heart of Amish country, Lancaster County Pennsylvania, was awarded a renewed contract for supplying and making gazebos available to US military bases for another year, and was awarded this contract through their dealer network and association with Specialty Prefab.

“We chose Creative Gazebos (Limerock Gazebos line) for their quality,” says Eric Kinney of Specialty Prefab. “Their kits have always been easy to set up, and the 2012 kits and product are the best we’ve found. They are perfect for our government customers, because they’re built to last.”

Gazebo owners can select between wood or vinyl, and can cover the sides with screens or windows. Just covering three sides facing the most common wind direction is usually sufficient. Because side covers are held in place by two vertical slats it’s a simple task to set them up as needed. Vinyl gazebos ( http://creativegazebos.com/vinylgazeboshome.html ) are similarly equipped.

There is a long history of using gazebos as a quick-to-set-up structure on military bases. Over the years, a few stories have developed surrounding them. Kinney recounts one story regarding gazebos and the “that’s how it’s always been done” mentality… such as the regular posting of a guard at the Fort Monroe Army Base’s gazebo. When the question came up asking what the purpose for the guard was, the answer was “that’s the way it’s always been.”

It turns out that, after investigating the matter further, the original posting of the guard was because the gazebo had been freshly painted and they didn’t want anyone accidentally messing up the wet paint.

Limerock says of the Creative Gazebos ( http://www.creativegazebos.com/ ) product line: “They’re versatile, attractive, strong and easy to set up. The kits ship to our dealers and can be quickly set up with with easy to follow plans, and come expertly packaged and protected for shipping, usually on a single pallet.”

Limerock has been manufacturing and distributing their Gazebo designs nationally through their dealer network for over 20 years. “It’s a family business,” says Ben Stoltzfus of Limerock, who started the business himself. Over the years Limerock gazebos has added to their original gazebo kits ( http://www.creativegazebos.com/gazebo-kits.html ) product line and offers pergolas, pergola kits ( http://www.creativegazebos.com/pergola-kit.html ), and other outdoor wood structures for almost any need.

About Limerock Gazebos:
Limerock Gazebos is located in the heart of Lancaster County, PA. This family owned business has been constructing quality gazebos since 1996.

The company employs an excellent team of skilled Amish craftsmen (most have grown up on family farms). Their shop is equipped with modern woodworking machinery, ready to handle any custom project. The Limerock Gazebos team is dedicated to the highest standards of quality, in each and every gazebo and pergola, using checklists throughout the process, to ensure customer satisfaction.

IAPAM Publishes Reviews Affirming Symposium with Botox Training Exceeds Expectations

Leave a comment

Physicians affirm that attending the IAPAM’s hCG Training and Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox Training “is the best money [they] have spent.”

Las Vegas, Nevada, USA – June 26, 2012 — The latest reviews from physicians who have attended the IAPAM’s Training Seminars in Scottsdale, Arizona have been published. Physicians affirm that attending the IAPAM’s hCG Training and Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox Training “is the best money [they] have spent.”

Physician testimonials about the physician-lead Symposium with Botox training (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com) and the IAPAM’s comprehensive and respected Physician hCG Training (http://www.hcgtraining.com) rave about how the IAPAM educates physicians on how to safely and profitably add $100,000+ a year in non-insurance based revenue to an existing practice.

The International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine’s (http://www.iapam.com) hCG and Botox Training programs are different than any other educational programs offered in North America. No other programs in the U.S. offer this combination of expert-led training coupled with a forum where the world’s physicians, of all medical specialties, come together to learn and share their experiences. The IAPAM also offers long term support to physicians who are adding aesthetic medical treatments to a practice.

Unlike programs offered by private companies, attendees of the IAPAM’s Training receive certification by the IAPAM, a voluntary professional association of physicians and supporters, which sets standards for the aesthetic medical profession.

Since 2006, well over 1300 physicians and their staff have taken the IAPAM’s hCG and Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox Training courses, and here are the latest reviews:

•“This is the best program! I have attended 2 other programs before. It was definitely worth it. Excellent, practical points on “how to.” Very comprehensive [and] focused on the details.” ~ L. Kucerova, MD (June ’12)
•“[During the Aesthetic Medicine Symposium, I was very interested in] chemical peels and the profit margins [available]. Jennifer [Wild, DO] was wonderful. Specifying how many units of botox to use, etc. and where to inject was very helpful!” [Before taking the IAPAM’s hCG Training] I knew nothing, and now I know everything I need to start [the] successful use of hCG in the office.” ~ N. Kaushal, MD (June ’12)
•“All speakers were very good, [with a significant] knowledge level [and] experienced. [The training and presenters were very] helpful. Great job.” ~ P. Connors, MD (June ’12)
•“[hCG will be] a great addition to my practice. Excellent!” ~ R. Vindhya, MD (June ’12)
•“The [Aesthetic Medicine Symposium was] beyond my most optimistic expectation. [It was a] big bang for my money. FANTASTIC!” ~ A. Adebayo, MD (June ’12)
•“It was all great. Great topic coverage relevant to practicing aesthetic medicine.” ~ A. Tate, MD (June ’12)
•“The course made me interested in everything.” ~ K. Pardave, NP (June ’12)
•“Great course…..[especially the] hands-on botox (TM) injecting.” ~ F. Pepple, MD (June ’12)
•“Fabulous!” ~ P. Connors, MD (June ’12)
•“All aspects of a start up aesthetics practice were covered very [well and] in depth.” ~ M.J. Englee, MD (June ’12)
•“Excellent Symposium.” ~ L. Mata, MD (June ’12)
•“Excellent presenters! Wonderful location. [My expectations were] absolutely [met]. Over and above!” ~ L. Waterson, MD (June ’12)
•“All the [topics] were very informative and new to me. My expectations were exceeded!! This was the best money I have spent. Fantastic!”~ L. DeBlanche, MD (June ’12)

FPL Uses Infrared Technology to keep Service Reliability in the Top 25 Percent of Utilities Nationwide

“What I like best about my job is knowing that I’m making a difference for FPL customers every day and helping to deliver affordable and reliable power,” said Florida Power & Light’s Delivery Assurance Lead, Eli Cueto.

Juno Beach, FL (June 23, 2012) — Florida Power & Light‘s Delivery Assurance Lead, Eli Cueto, can see things most of us would never even notice. He sees problems before they develop. Think of him as a detective who patrols the electric grid.

“Doing this, I get to fulfill a lot of things that I like, which is field work, and investigating and uncovering potential problems,” he says.

This detective’s tool of choice? An advanced infrared camera, which he carries in a black suitcase as he patrols the power lines across Florida in his FPL van.

“If you’re looking at a section of an overhead line, everything could appear fine,” he says. “You could look at it with binoculars and still everything looks good.”

Cueto says if he stopped there, and relied only on his eyesight, he would miss the most important evidence of all – the clue that’s the key to delivering reliable service. Opening his suitcase and flipping on his infrared camera, Cueto reveals what’s really going on inside the fuse switch, fixed 60 feet high atop an FPL pole.

“The way it works is that the camera picks up the infrared energy being displayed, so the brighter the color, the hotter the temperature,” Cueto says, pointing to a purplish image on the camera screen.

In the center of the image, he points to a bright white circle. “What we are seeing right here is a hot fuse switch. We can see it right here on the camera that it is overheating. The temperature, it’s over 150 degrees, so we know that it’s a candidate for replacement.”

Cueto returns to his office and uploads the infrared image to his computer. He calls up a database that provides more information about the specific pole and switch. The information he discovers helps him create a work order for his team, which can then perform preventive maintenance on the equipment and avoid a potential outage for customers. Like a good detective, Cueto followed the clues, determined the cause and cracked the case.

“I think FPL sets a standard, because we actually take the initiative to go out there and evaluate all the facilities that we have,” says Cueto. He is part of a team of 26 FPL employees and contractors who use infrared technology to help provide reliable service.

“What I like best about my job is knowing that I’m making a difference for FPL customers every day and helping to deliver affordable and reliable power.”

Eli Cueto joined FPL in 2005 and began his career as a meter reader. He later worked in the Distribution service planning area first, as an associate project designer, assisting with trouble tickets and working on projects to help improve service reliability, and later, as a customer project manager, helping plan for power delivery to new and existing construction. In December 2010, Cueto transitioned into his current delivery assurance lead position, where his focus day in and day out is preventing problems to help ensure service reliability.
