BUYER BEWARE
This has been an interesting year. Business has been slower than usual. We would usually object such downtrend, but this time we welcomed the event as a respite to our heretofore hectic break neck pace.
The 2006 season was not as busy as predicted and many would be customers in South Florida probably decided not to order their shutters early and be left without protection from storms. The latest National Forecast just predicted an active hurricane season.
Some clients had called us earlier to place orders and complained that the company that they had hired never delivered their shutters, even after a year wait. We convinced them that we would deliver and we did. So these clients were happier than before, as they now had shutters. The sad part though these earlier companies took their deposit and either went out of business or ran.
So the moral of the story is:
DO YOUR RESEARCH WELL BEFORE YOU BUY.
This may help:
- Is the company licensed and insured?
- Have you made sure by going to Miami-Dade.gov?
- Get a list of references. A serious company won't object giving you one.
- Call the references
- Give as little money as possible down.
- If the job takes too long to get going--months--start making calls and nag.
- Be responsible and make it as easy as possible for your contractor to do the job: move things out of the way, provide electricity, water and a safe space for the work to be performed quickly and professionally.
- Once the job is completed, do a walk-through and make sure you're satisfied with it.
- Don't pay in full until you get a final inspection.
- As you pay, get Lien releases. This prevents the supplier to the contractor corning after you for unpaid bills and materials.
- And finally, if you're happy with the job. Do pay, thank your contractor and refer him/her to others.

DISCOVERIES IN SCIENCE
The Heaviest Element Known to Science
Lawrence Livermore Laboratories has discovered the heaviest element yet known to science.
The new element, Governmentium (Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.
These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.
Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert; however, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A tiny amount of Governmentiumcan cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete.
Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2- 6 years. It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.
In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.
This characteristic of morons promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass.
When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium, an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons.
NEWS FLASH !!!! --- NEW DISCOVERY
Governmentium is completely dissolvable in a substance known as revolutium. At revolutium's boiling point, governmentium's neutrons are systematically destroyed.

Stock market 101
Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10 each. The villagers seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest, and started catching them.
The man bought thousands at $10 and as the supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort. He further announced that he would now buy at $20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again.
Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer increased to $25 each and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch it! The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50!
However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on behalf of him.
In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers. 'Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at $35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell them to him for $50 each.'
The villagers rounded up all their savings and bought all the monkeys.
Then they never saw the man nor his assistant again, only monkeys everywhere!
Now you have a better understanding of how the stock market really works.
Sex Therapy - Florida Style
A Florida couple, both well into their 80s, go to a sex therapist's office.
The doctor asks, "What can I do for you?"
The man says, "Will you watch us have sexual intercourse?"
The doctor raises both eyebrows, but he is so amazed that such an elderly couple is asking for sexual advice that he agrees.
When the couple finishes, the doctor says, "There's absolutely nothing wrong with the way you have intercourse." He thanks them for coming, he wishes them good luck, he charges them $50 and he says goodbye.
The next week, however, the couple returns and asks the sex therapist to watch again. The sex therapist is a bit puzzled, but agrees.
This happens several weeks in a row. The couple makes an appointment, has intercourse with no problems, pays the doctor, then leave.
Finally, after 5 or 6 weeks of this routine, the doctor says, "I'm sorry, but I have to ask. Just what are you trying to find out?"
The old man says, "We're not trying to find out anything. She's married and we can't go to her house. I'm married and we can't go to my house. The Holiday Inn charges $98. The Hilton charges $139. We do it here for $50, and I get $43 back from Medicare...!
