I work for a pool cover company, called Cover-Pools. Therefore, I'm always interested when I find new pool distributors. I recently stumbled across the number pool builder in Arizona, Shasta Pools. As I browsed through the Shasta Pools website, I saw some pretty amazing pool designs. As the website states, they understand that no two backyards are the same.
Some of the pool designs included the standard types of pools, vanishing edge pools, pools with waterfalls, pools with amazing rock designs. I was literally amazed at the different designs Shasta Pools was able to create. They have an entire list of options that a customer can select from including lighting, decking, misting systems, swim-up seating, waterfalls, and spas. The one thing I didn't notice was a cover pool, but I'm sure if you asked they could install a cover pool for you. Although, some of the designs might not accommodate an automatic cover pool.

Wangethi Mwangi: Kenyan Recipes
I am always looking for new recipes for my wife to cook dinner, or something that I can cook. I am especially intrigued when I find authentic cultural foods. Today, I stumbled across a website created by Wangethi Mwangi that is devoted entirely to recipes from Kenya. I have never tried Kenyan food, so I will have to give Wangethi Mwangi's recipes a try.
The very first recipe I found on this website is called, Wangethi Mwangi cooks Tanzania Chicken. It says that this is one of the most popular dishes from Kenya. I’m not sure what it means when it says that you need 1 cooking hen. I guess that just means you need one chicken, because the recipe says to cook the meat on the bones. I’ll have to ask my wife what some of the spices are as well. As you can tell, I’m not a chef. Maybe I’d better stick to Chili in a can and let my wife try making the chicken from Kenya.

K-Designers
We have recently had some problems with our home in Logan. First our water heater broke, now our air conditioner is broken, and we just got a letter from our insurance company stating that we need to repair our rain gutters. In addition, the insulation by our windows is horrible. This has got me looking into different remodeling companies. I found one called, K-Designers, the home remodeling leader. This is company that started with four employees in Casper, Wyoming in 1978. During its 30-year life, the company has expanded throughout the United States including to Utah, which is good for me.
In 2007, one of the founders of K-Designers was named Chairman to General Electric's Money Advisory Board, which tells me that the company must have something going for them if GE liked the founder. Although K-Designers won't be able to fix my water heater or air conditioning, they can fix my rain gutters and repair my window insulation problem.
