I ‘m meeting w/ an account manager of a staffing agency for a short job interview .To see if he can place me. Should I offer to pay for his coffee? Also how should I dress?

you dress professionally or nice or casual, depending on nature of job, but no jeans. You offer to pay your own coffee, not his, unless he offers to pay your coffee, as he may have a company expense account.

Handmade Coffee
Name of a shabby chic/home decor shop in Bruges, Belgium

I went on holiday 2 weeks ago to Bruges and found the cutest shop that specialised in shabby chic/country home decor items — old advertising signs, handmade soaps, quilts, old style mohair stitched teddy bears, old fashioned style coffee pots and lots of nik naks that are in the vintage cream colour that is so popular & items in the style of what we see as being classic country French (Belgian) decor – some items such as hand lotion bottles with decorative French words. I had wanted to return to make purchases – but when I did, it was a national holiday on July 21st and it was closed. I seem to remember it was a short walk from St Salvator-Kathedraal. Any ideas what the name of it is and whether they have a website? Many thanks-
update: I don’t think it is the Zilverpand as that doesn’t sound familiar – but thanks for the reply. I think it is on St Salvatorskerkhof (if that is the actual street name that goes past the cathedral itself).

I know there’s a few narrow streets behind the St.Salvatorskerk and there are some small shops there and even one or two that might fit the description of what you say they sell. I rarely go into Brugge though, should I and the question is still open I will edit.

Coffee Sand

Interesting Facts about Your Pool Filter Sand

Have you got a sand pool filter system on your swimming pool? You may take that sand for granted but it is doing a lot for you and your swimming pool. Here are few interesting facts about your pool filter sand:

Interesting Fact #1 about your pool filter sand

When the sand is first put into your sand pool filter it is quite large and rough and is sized at around .45-.55mm.  This size and roughness make the pool filter sand a more efficient filtering system as it can catch the debris particles in your water. Over time the sand becomes smoother and your pool filter sand becomes not as efficient. It is recommended that you change your pool filter sand every five years just to be sure it is working.

Interesting Fact #2 about your pool filter sand

Pool filter sand looks great in fish tanks. The white colour and smoothness of particles (when compared to rocks) gives your tank a great look. You can also be assured that pool filter sand is very clean, which makes it great for your fish as well as your tank. This inexpensive sand is great and can be purchased from most pool stores. Be prepared for some funny looks when you tell them what you want it for.

Interesting Fact #3 about your pool filter sand

You should vary the hours of operation of your sand pool filter depending on the season. During winter you only need your sand pool filter operating for 4-5 hours a day as pool usage will be low. During summer when pool usage is at its highest you should have your sand pool filter operate for 8-9 hours a day. During autumn and spring it will again vary but should on average run for about 7 hours a day.

Interesting Fact #4 about your pool filter sand

To get a better understanding of how your sand pool filter works think about your coffee percolator or coffee machine. The coffee represents the sand in your sand pool filter. Water is pushed through the grinded coffee beans to create liquid coffee. In a sand pool filter dirty water is pushed through sand which removes debris and out comes clean water. Filtration systems like this are commonly used to clean water in our society.

Queen Coffee
Why are the Right fixating on Obama’s gift to Queen Elizabeth but ignoring the GOP’s attempt at a budget?

“President Barack Obama’s gift of an iPod to Queen Elizabeth II came loaded with 40 songs from popular Broadway productions, including “The King and I,” “West Side Story” and “Dreamgirls.” The iPod was given to accompany a rare coffee table book of songs by composers Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart, which Obama also gave the queen.”

Because they don’t feel they should have to explain the bogus about families paying $3,100 a year on energy taxes. The truth is that the average American family would pay about 1/145 of that. Now, if you had a hundred kids, then it might be a problem, but not even Octomom has that many.

Yet another GOP scare tactic designed to woo voters.
