Chains

Guest post written by my buddy Bernardo Graham

Since I upgraded our television package at http://www.direct.tv/direct-tv-dvr.html a while back, we get all of the local news channels now. I was watching the news the other morning and drinking coffee when the weatherman was talking about a lot of snow coming our way. The talk show ( that is local) that follows the news was talking about chains on your tires and how important is was to have a good set of chains. I was so totally confused. We are Southern transplants to the valley and have never really seen a lot of snow. I certainly have never even heard of putting chains on your tires. Apparently, in some times during the season, having chains on your wheels is required by law. I decided to check into getting chains. Since I plan on driving to the mountains and doing some skiing, I have to have them. I was shocked because a “good” set of chains, even used ones costs four hundred dollars! I guess that I won’t be heading up to the mountains unless I know for sure that the roads are good and clear and that we don’t need chains!

Chemical Investment banking


Finance girls listen up...Maureen Cannon has just been made a senior part of the great chemical mergers and acquisitions firm: valencegroup.com. This is the specialized investment banking firm we wrote about last year.  Since they specialize in chemical m&a they have their ear on the very specific and specialized information, for example, the cycles, participants needs and problems better than anyone.
 
Last year we wrote about how the firms' independence made them a great merger and acquisitions vehicle because they avoid the natural conflict that often occurs in these  types of banking relationships.  There is never even the appearance of conflict of interest.
 
Maureen will be working out of the New York City office.  Their firm has its biggest office in London  and third biggest is in Shanghai.  Her past work with agricultural companies make her a natural. 
 
DO YOU STILL NEED A HIGH PAYING JOB?  This is a live wire company that is expanding.  They have been going for four years now and have the greatest collection of experts in their chosen specialty that one can imagine.  Combined, their top management has over one hundred and fifty years of experience in the chemicals and banking field.  The name valence refers to the point at which different chemicals may merge, change or explode.  If you want expert banking advice or a lead on a great place to work in the chemical investment banking field, visit their site:  www.valencegroup.com

Apartment for Rent in Edmonton

Hello dear blog buddies. Do we have great news for you. Our dear sister Lindamay Louisiana has just moved to EDMONTON, as we reported in our last Lindamay message. The news is that she used a great site to help her find a wonderful affordable well located apartment for rent in Edmonton. It has things arranged so easily. You can choose to click on a section of the city, say Gibbons, Ludoc or Devon and see what is available instantly. There is a simple graphic of the city map showing the twenty or so recognized sections so you can pick a place easily even IF YOU DO NOT KNOW THE CITY WELL!!!

 Lindamay told us that the site is easy to use because it can sort the available listings in many different ways...all instantly: For example you can sort by price. Or you can sort by the number of bedrooms. Or you can sort by the type of property: apartment or house...Just imagine your own home located easily.

One more thing dear bloggers: Last year our friend Geraldo Cantones used this site so successfully that he then went on to buy the house he was renting! The Company, RentEdmonton.com then got him his mortgage!!! Yes they are a full service real estate management company. They have a great reputation and we like them a lot.
