			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Smallbusinessaz.com launches a fresh new yellowpage platform with the simplicity of craigslist mixed in a fresh new contemporary style.</h2>
<p>smallbusinessaz.com is yellow page search site currently in one market, Phoenix, Arizona. Unlike virtually every yellowpage style site out there today, smallbusinessaz does not contain a search function but rather choosing the craigslist &#8220;click what you get&#8221; style of searching.</p>
<p>The reason this works so well on this site and not on many other is because of the number of listings provided to the end user. With never more than 1 page of search results per category and a cap of 10 featured businesses per region(the site is broken up into 3 major regions that represent Phoenix) this search is definitely the best way to go for this type of platform.</p>
<p>smallbusinessaz.com also features a local Phoenix area network of sites highlighting some of their more popular categories which can easily be found across the search engines on the 1st page of results for very popular phrases.</p>
<p>So check out the fresh new look and see how smallbusinessaz is changing the way you search local.<br />
<strong><a href="http://smallbusinessaz.com">Phoenix Yellow Pages</a></strong></p>
<p># # #</p>
<p>smallbusinessaz.com is a local Phoenix, AZ yellow page search and online marketing source for small business owners.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As a natural product floors are manufactured in accordance with accepted industry standards which permit a grading tolerance of 5%. This should be taken into account when estimating.The product should not be stored until all plastering, cement work, decorating and all wet work is 100% dry.</p>
<p>Solid hardwood floors should not normally be installed below ground level or in bathrooms. Cut pieces with glaring defects and it is normal practice to use stain putty or filler stick for defect correction or minor dimension differences. Unfinished flooring will require spot or trowel filling as required before sanding.<br />
<strong><br />
<a title="Wood Flooring Installation Phoenix" href="http://horizontileaz.com/">Wood Flooring Installation Phoenix</a></strong></p>
<p>Pre-oiled flooring should be hand-sanded using 120 grit or higher and a light finishing coat of oil applied with a cloth after hardwood flooring installation. Hardwood Flooring finished with a stained lacquer, lighter or darker than the natural species colour, should be treated with two coats of clear lacquer right away after installation. This type of flooring has finish in the item description i.e wenge finish, walnut finish, white finish.</p>
<p>Flooring should be stored within the installation area at normal expected conditions for approximately one week to acclimatise depending on your particular product and species. A dimension tolerance of plus or minus 2% is allowed by manufacturers.</p>
<p>Stay tuned for future wood flooring installation tips from Horizon Tile &amp; Flooring!<br />

<p><strong>“So what’s my <a title="Phoenix Home Loans" href="http://dkhomeloans.com/" target="_blank">Phoenix home loan</a> rate”?</strong> This is the question asked to loan originators everyday from our clients and prospects.  There is no simple answer and it seems to be <strong>getting more complex</strong> as the mortgage industry moves toward more risk-based pricing.  Risk-based pricing allows adjustments to par pricing for risk factors such as; <em>FICO scores</em>, <em>loan-to-value percentages</em>, <em>property type</em> (SFR, Condo, 2-4 Units), <em>occupancy</em> (Primary, Vacation or Investment) and <em>mortgage type</em> (Interest Only, Adjustable Rate etc).</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 250px"><img title="Phoenix Home Loan Rates" src="http://dkhomeloans.com/phoenix-home-mortgage/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Phoenix-Home-Loan-Rates-300x212.png" alt="Phoenix Home Loan Rates" width="240" height="170" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Home Loan Rate Graph</p></div>
<p>Let’s start off with the basic mechanics of fixed mortgage interest rates.  <strong>Interest rates are primarily based upon the pricing of Mortgage Backed Securities</strong> (”MBS” or “Bonds”) issued from Fannie Mae (”FNMA”), Freddie Mac (”FHMLC”) and Ginnie Mae (”GNMA”).  Think of a Bonds’ sales price similar to that of a Stock, it trades up and down during the course of a day.  At the time of writing this article, the FNMA coupon we are tracking is selling for $101.03.  This is <em>down 22 basis points</em> from the previous day’s closing price of $100.81.  In simple terms, the consumer would have to pay an additional .22% of their loan amount to have the same rate today that they could have locked in the previous day.</p>
<p><strong>“So… what does all this mean?”</strong></p>
<p>In our example, the client’s interest rate could vary from 4.50% – 5.25%.  The mortgage interest rate will depend on how the customer would like to set up their mortgage loan with regard to paying either higher or lower upfront fees.  Clients locking in a rate should consider how long they intend to have this mortgage loan before considering the fees associated with obtaining any rate.  The shorter amount of time you will have the loan, the more it makes sense to pay lower fees and have a higher interest rate.  The longer your time horizon for keeping the loan, the more it makes sense to pay higher upfront fees, also known as buying down the interest rate.</p>
<p>A client locking in a rate of 4.50% (5.597% APR) today on a 30-year fixed FHA loan should plan on paying all the customary fees with two discount points.  Customary fees would include <em>appraisal, credit report, processing fee, underwriting fee, origination fee, title fees, and recording fees</em>.  That same client could lock in 4.75% (5.747% APR) with 1 discount point, 5.00% (5.896% APR) with no discount points and 5.25% (6.044% APR) without any discount points or origination fee.  An origination and/or discount point is typically 1% of your loan amount.</p>
<p><strong>With so many rates available on a 30-year fixed mortgage, how can a borrower get the best rate? </strong></p>

<p><strong>First, ask the lender to provide you with a total overall cost analysis.</strong> This should illustrate the proposed savings you will have on the loan options available to you both on a monthly and long-term basis. This analysis should also include total payments, total interest paid, total closing costs and points and balance remaining at a given point in time.  One of the most important metrics to consider is how long you plan on keeping this loan on the home you purchase or <a title="Refinance Mortgage Phoenix" href="http://dkhomeloans.com/mortgage-refinancing-phoenix/" target="_blank">refinance</a> when selecting the right mortgage plan.</p>
<p><strong>Second, we recommend working with a professional who watches, articulates and understands the interest rate markets.</strong> If you’re a consumer, it’s important to understand that interest rates can change daily, even hourly.  So, if you are comparing lender rates and fees – this is a moving target on an hourly basis.  If you are comparing two quotes from different lenders, you may be comparing apples to oranges.  The only way to get a truly accurate comparison is to have the quotes prepared on the exact same day, at the exact same time, with the exact same terms and conditions.  You also must know the length of the lock term (i.e. 15 day, 30 day, 45 day etc.) you are looking to secure, since longer rate locks typically carry slightly higher interest rates.</p>
<p><strong><a title="Phoenix Home Mortgage Interest Rate" href="http://dkhomeloans.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">We provide a daily recommendation to our client’s advising them to float or lock their home mortgage interest rate.</a></strong> In this update, we list the current pricing of the FNMA 30-Year Bond and the previous closing price.  We identify the key current market updates and the daily economic news releases that are influencing interest rates.  We also provide an illustrative picture with our written recommendation, which makes it easily understood.</p>
<p><strong>In conclusion, we feel that having access to valuable information regarding the total overall long-term cost, along with mortgage options that best fit their needs, coupled with market knowledge will allow you to obtain the overall lowest cost mortgage with the <a title="Best Loan Rates - Phoenix" href="http://dkhomeloans.com/" target="_blank">best home loan rate</a> available.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Stain Removal Tips</strong><br />
Three steps for proper carpet care: Information provided by The Carpet &amp; Rug Institute</p>
<p><a title="Scottsdale Carpet Cleaning" href="http://americhemaz.com"><em><strong>Scottsdale Carpet Cleaning</strong></em></a> is just like exercise! If you get into a routine and keep it up, you will see great results and feel better for it. Understanding the right way to clean carpet will help you save time by doing it correctly the first time with products that do the job right from the start. Not only will Seal of Approval cleaning products help keep your carpet looking great, they can also help meet the warranty requirements of the carpet manufacturer. Below are three simple steps to keeping your carpet clean and looking great:</p>
<p>1. Vacuum at the right frequency with a CRI-approved vacuum.<br />
2. Clean spots and spills quickly with products that do not damage the carpet or cause it to resoil more quickly.<br />
3. Professionally deep clean your carpets every 12 to 18 months to remove embedded dirt and grime.</p>
<p><strong>Stop dirt at the door </strong></p>
<p>Preventing dirt and grime from getting on the carpet in the first place is a great way to start keeping it clean. The following helpful hints can stop dirt in its tracks.</p>
<p>* Use mats &#8211; Outdoor and indoor mats or runners can reduce the amount of dirt that enters the house.<br />
* Take off your shoes &#8211; You can save wear and tear on carpet by asking everyone to take their shoes off before entering your home.<br />
* Change your air filters &#8211; Change air filters in your heating and air-conditioning systems as recommended by the manufacturer’</p>
<div id="bd">s directions. The more dust and particles removed by the filter, the fewer that fall onto the carpet.</p>
<p>Spot Removal Steps</p>
<p>Act Quickly! Most carpet available today has been treated with a stain-resist treatment, so many spills can be removed if immediate action is taken. The longer the delay, the higher the probability of a spill becoming a permanent stain. Remember, staining is influenced by many factors, and no carpet is completely stain proof.</p>
<p>Blot liquids with a dry, white, absorbent cloth or or white paper toweling (no printing).</p>
<p>Do not scrub the area! Scrubbing may cause pile distortion in the affected area. Continue to use a dry cloth or paper towels until the area is completely dry. For semi-solids, gently scrape up with a rounded spoon. Solids should be broken up and vacuumed until completely removed. If the spot can be identified, locate the substance in the spot removal computer and follow the directions carefully.</p>
<p>Pretest any spot removal agent in an inconspicuous area to be certain the solution will not damage the fiber or the dye. After applying several drops to the testing area, hold a white cloth on the wet area for 10 seconds. Examine the carpet and cloth for color transfer, color change, or damage to the carpet. If a change occurs, another cleaning solution should be selected.</p>
<p>Apply a small amount of the selected cleaning solution to a white cloth and work in gently.</p>
<p>Work from the edges of the spill to the center to prevent the spill from spreading. Do not scrub! Blot in order to absorb as much as possible, and repeat if necessary.</p>
<p>Continue using the first cleaning solution as long as there is a transfer of the spill to the cloth. It is not necessary to use all of the cleaning solutions if the first solution removes the spill.</p>
<p>Be patient! Complete removal of the spill may require repeating the same step several times. After the spill has been completely removed, rinse the affected area thoroughly with cold water, and blot with a dry cloth until all of the solution has been removed. Some cleaning solutions will cause rapid soiling if the solution is not completely removed. Apply a one-half inch layer of white paper towels to the affected area, and weigh down with a flat, heavy object. Continue to change paper towels as needed.</p>
<p>A dry, absorbent, cleaning compound may be used as a substitute to accelerate drying time.<br />
For more detailed information on a specific spill, please search on the pull-down menu at right.<br />
Many fiber manufacturers provide a toll-free cleaning assistance and advice (consult your warranty).</p></div>
