- 12/07/17 03:46 PM
During colder months, plants are vulnerable to frost, low temperatures, biting winds, and excessive rain. Losing a few plants is inevitable in a very hard winter, but you can reduce the risk with protective measures.
Winter Protection
A sudden cold snap will take its toll on tender plants, so don’t be caught unaware. Wrap up plants well in advance, and prepare them for the worst weather to help them get through the winter unscathed.
While tender bulbs and tubers are best lifted from the ground, vulnerable shrubs, climbers, and other plants can remain unmoved and be protected from the elements with burlap, horticultural fabric, … (3 comments)

teamjen: 11 Creative Projects with Old Windows
- 10/17/17 01:42 PM
If you are looking for creative charm in your DIY projects, then look to use old windows! There is something about windows with history that make us feel nostalgic… And let’s face it… they don’t make ’em like they used to! Whenever I use an old window in a project, I picture the family that lived in the home (a simpler time, of course!) looking out those windows during good times and bad, much as I do… to connect with the outside world, to appreciate the beauty of the first snowfall, to watch their kids play, to wish for brighter days … (0 comments)

teamjen: 5 ways Harvey affects Houston’s real estate market
- 09/20/17 10:42 AM
Although flood recovery is just beginning in the Greater Houston area, the economic effects of Hurricane Harvey are expected to linger for several months, according to a report from CBRE, a commercial real estate services and investment firm.
“The outlook for recovery is optimistic, but short-term disruptions are to be expected,” CBRE Head of Research Spencer Levy said. “Available space to house displaced companies, stores and residents—as well as relief workers—is likely to become scarce in certain Houston submarkets, and the rebuilding effort will temporarily fuel a rise in retail sales and additional demand for warehouses in the area from building supply … (0 comments)

teamjen: Equifax data breach: How to freeze your credit
- 09/18/17 01:58 PM
Nearly half of Americans may have had their information stolen in the massive Equifax data breach revealed last week, and experts say freezing your credit is one line of defense. The credit-reporting company said hackers stole personal data — including Social Security numbers, names, addresses and dates of birth — from an estimated 143 million Americans.
The data breach is among the worst ever because of the amount of people affected and the sensitive type of information exposed.
How many people were affected?

- 09/11/17 02:40 PM
Managing Finances in Times of DisasterAs the process of healing and rebuilding continues ever so slowly in areas ravaged by Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma, many of us are taking a closer look at our own lives. While most of us don't live in hurricane-prone areas, we are all reminded of the possibility of disaster knocking at our door. Mother Nature may provide the most striking examples with hurricanes, earthquakes and tsunamis, but a house fire, car accident, serious illness, flooding or a lost job could prove just as devastating.
We all hope it never does, but if disaster should strike, finances … (1 comments)

teamjen: Is Food Supply a Problem for Restaurants After Harvey?
- 09/08/17 10:37 AM
IN THE EARLY DAYS AFTER HARVEY, as restaurants took their first steps in reopening, a pessimistic trend quickly took hold. After only two-and-a-half hours serving up pho on Monday, for example, Nam Eatery in the Heights was fresh out of food. Tracking who was open and who was still open was nearly impossible, because there was no knowing when another delivery, or another slap from Poseidon, was coming.
Seaside Poke was lucky when it came to flooding. A trickle of water damaged the specials board at the front of the restaurant and a bit more entered in the back, nothing else. Nonetheless, the poke restaurant in EaDo … (2 comments)
