<p><a title="Yorkies" href="http://www.likamayyorkies.co.za">Yorkies</a> , or the Yorkshire terrier is a very small dog breed. This Terrier specie originated in historical area of Yorkshire in England as early as the 1800&#8242;s. Yorkies were bred for their small size and other features.</p>
<p>Yorkies ( Yorkshire terriers) descended from the Scottish breeds such as the now extinct Paisley Terrier and the Skye Terrier. In its turn, other breeds have been created from the Yorkshire terrier, such as the Australian Silky Terrier and the Biewer Terrier.</p>
<p>For adult <a title="Yorkshire Terriers" href="http://www.likamyyorkies.co.za">Yorkshire terriers</a>, the importance is placed on the colour of its coat, the quality and texture of its coat. The hair must be glossy, straight and silky. Normally the coat is long and grown out and is parted down the middle of the back.</p>
<p>Yorkshire Terriers (Yorkies) have very soft coats. Yorkies have two types of coats. Silky or soft coats. The silky coats are the coats of the show dogs. The soft coat breeds have short coats and do not need to be brushed very as often.</p>
<p>It is important that from the back of the neck to the base of the tail, the coat should be a dark gray to a steel- or grey-blue, and the hair on the tail should be a darker blue. On the head, high chest, and legs, the hair should be a rich tan. Also, in adult dogs, there should be no dark hairs intermingled with any of the tan coloured fur.</p>
<p>Newborn <strong>Yorkshire Terriers (Yorkies)</strong> are born black with tan points above the eyes, around the legs and feet and toes, the inside of the ears, and the underside of the tail. Occasionally Yorkies are born with a white patch on the chest or on the toes. White patches fade with age, and are usually gone within a few months. Wite markings on the chest is generally an indication that the puppy will be a good coat grower.</p>
<p>The final colour of the coat is sometimes anly reach up to three years.</p>
<p>Yorkie coats normally require daily brushing and a bath at least once amonth. The fur may be trimmed short for easier care but it is believed that trimming may affect the colour over a long period. The coat is always left long for shows. The coat may be trimmed to floor length to enhance movement and and appearance.</p>
<p>The long coats of <strong><em>Yorkies</em></strong> (Yorkshire Terriers)  take a lot of time and energy. Some owners wrap the coat in paper like rice paper, tissue paper, or plastic, after a light oiling with a coat oil. Yorkies need a lot of attention and prospective owners should study the behavior and caretaking before they take the step.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Health Care &#8211; Medical Aid South Africa</p>
<p>From the perspective of an individual or Company which may already have a medical aid package in place, why not  incorporate the Day1Health package, together with a low cost medical aid and GAP cover? From a practical point of view you will have the free, unlimited Doctor’s and Dentist’s visits (and other benefits of Day1Health), but also a medical aid which wil pick up the costs of elective surgery.</p>
<p><a title="Health Care Medical Aid" href="http://www.health-care.co.za">Health Care</a></p>
<p>GAP cover provides hospitalization costs up to 300% of medical aid tariff, something your current package probably doesn’t do anyway. This way a member will also benefit from the cash payout of the Day1Health scheme even if the medical aid covered all the hospitalization costs, which is perfectly legit and we have found this arrangement will generally result in a saving of one third to fifty percent of the costs of your current medical aid.<br />
 <br />
• More and more working people cannot afford medical aid<br />
 • The workforce is an employers greatest asset<br />
 • Their health is a priority<br />
 • The majority of working people in South Africa have no private health cover<br />
 • Working people want access to private healthcare<br />
 • Giving employees at least access to healthcare is an employers fundamental social responsibility.<br />
 <br />
As the Broker representing this unique package, you may contact Jozef Henning &amp; Associates at:1. 011-908-2849<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>WALL TOP ELECTRIC FENCES<br />
a worthy addition to an attractive wall<br />
<a title="Electric Fencing" href="http://www.electric-fence.co.za">Electric fencing </a>gives a very strong message, and if you are worried because you have a brick, cement or pre-cast wall, you don’t have reason to fret because wall top electric fences are the perfect way to securing your premises. Various options are available – bracket design and height variations add to the tasteful appearance of the installation.</p>
<p>With <strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">wall top electric fences</span></strong>, at least  five braided steel wire strands are used, which electrify the top part of the fence or gate, and brackets are placed in such a way that intruders cannot get over the fence. The wires of the fence carry the electrical charge.</p>
<p>While walls can delay entry, without reliable electric wires, your wall might just be an attractive feature of your home, and not an imposing deterrent.</p>
<p>There is nothing to compare with electric fencing when one wishes to keep intruders off your property. Not only will the intruder be faced with a physical barrier, they will also be exposed to high voltage pulses that will deter the most hardened criminal. Wall top electric fences, apart from acting as a physical barrier,  can also act as an early warning alarm system. There is no doubt; converting existing walls to wall top electric fences is an asset to home owners and businesses alike.</p>
<p>The world out there is dangerous; you can’t afford to have a wall that is just a pretty face  &#8211; an electric fence system can be easily fixed on an existing perimeter wall or as an add on to an existing perimeter fence. Electric fencing has revolutionized fencing entirely, and carefully designed wall top electric fences have already increased security to many who believed an existing wall couldn’t be electrified!  A too thin wire, a bad join or faulty or leaking insulator will lessen the shock the intruder receives. The object of electric fencing is to make this shock as severe as possible.</p>

<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 95px"><a href="http://www.splendidpools.co.za"><img title="Swimming Pools Gauteng" src="http://www.splendidpools.co.za/zenphoto/cache/water-features/IMG_0268.JPG_100_cw85_ch85.jpg" alt="Swimming Pools Gauteng" width="85" height="85" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Swimming Pools Gauteng</p></div>
<p><em><strong>Click the image to view our website!</strong></em></p>
<p>Why <a title="Salt water pools" href="http://www.splendidpools.co.za/"><strong>Salt Water Pools</strong> </a>?</p>
<p>Ocean water has a salt content of around 35, 000 parts per million (“ppm”). Humans have a salt taste threshold of around 3,500 ppm. Most chlorine generators require a salt content of 2500- 6000 ppm in the pool.</p>
<p>A unit that needs less than 3500 ppm to operate effectively is optimal. If the salt content is higher, that warm, salty water will be pretty stasteful.</p>
<p>Swimming in a mild saline solution is much like taking a shower in soft water. Generally, when people swim in a non-chlorine generator pool ( a pool with no Salt water in it) they feel like their skin dries quicker upon exiting the pool. They may feel and/or see a whitish residual, chlorine flaking, on the skin.</p>
<p>In a salt-water pool (one with a chlorine generator) the water feels smooth, your skin feels smooth and many people feel more refreshed.</p>
<p>What Does a <a title="Chlorine Generator" href="http://www.splendidpools.co.za/">Chlorine Generator </a>Do?</p>
<p>A chlorine generator’s main function is to produce chlorine for the pool so you do not have to buy it, store it or handle it. These are big advantages for many pool owners. Chlorine generators, when functioning correctly, produce chlorine constantly(when the pump is running) with most units.</p>
<p>This keeps a residual of chlorine in the pool that prevents algae from growing. The secret is keeping the cell free of calcium and mineral deposits—the cell itself is made up of precious metals-it must be maintained so it can continue to make chlorine.</p>
<p>Through the process of electrolysis, water passing over the chlorine generatorcell produces chlorine that is instantaneously transformed into Hypochlorous acid. When any type of chlorine is added to water it ALL makes the SAME thing: Hypochlorous acid. It does not matter if it is Sodium Hypochlorite (liquid chlorine), Tri-chlor and Di-chlor or Lithium based, Cal-hypo or even Gas chlorine—it all makes Hypochlorous acid.</p>
<p>Hypochlorous acid is the active sanitizer; this is what kills algae and other harmful stuff if the water. Its effectiveness is totally predicated on blanced Water conditions and, more importantly, proper pH. So, with a salt water system or chlorine generator, you still must maintain your water balance (pool chemistry) properly. As long as you do this, a chlorine generator is a good choice.</p>

<p> </p>
<p><a title="Tree Care" href="http://www.tree-care.co.za/" target="_blank"><strong>Tree service</strong> in Pretoria and Johannesburg </a>South Africa</p>
<p>See the Uban Tree Services below:</p>
<p>Crown Reduction:<br />
The ends of all branches are reduced, in length, back to suitable ‘growth points’ (side branches). As a result the entire tree crown is reduced, in size and volume, whilst retaining the natural shape of the species. This procedure is usually stipulated in terms of a percentage rarely more than 25%.<br />
Crown Thinning <a title="Tree Care" href="http://www.tree-care.co.za/" target="_blank">Tree Service</a>:<br />
Branches are removed from within the tree crown in order to make it uniformly less dense. The natural shape of the tree is completely unaffected but the wind resistance is reduced and more light allowed to filter through. This procedure is usually stipulated in terms of a percentage, rarely more than 30%. This is a very effective way prohibiting a tree from falling ,especially in unpredictable weather conditions</p>
<p>Crown Lifting Tree Service:<br />
Increasing the gap between ground level and the crown. This is normally achieved by removing the lowest branches of the crown, to a specified height.<br />
Felling Tree Service:<br />
Causing a tree to fall under control by carefully making a series of cuts at the base of the trunk.<br />
Sectional Felling Tree Service:<br />
Carefully dismantling a tree in small sections. This operation is usually undertaken by making use of pulley and rope techniques as well as the structure of the tree itself for skilled branch removal.<br />
Dead Wooding Tree Service:<br />
The removal of dead or dying branches usually for safety and aesthetics. Larger dead branches can be safely retained (in order to provide habitat for birds and insects) by reducing their length and weight.<br />
Hedge Cutting Tree Service:<br />
Hedges of any size can be topped and trimmed to your specific dimensions.<br />
Formative Pruning Tree Service:<br />
The formation of a healthy stem and branch framework in very young trees. Achieved by carefully selecting and removing diseased wood, congested and rubbing branches and weak branch unions. Correct formative pruning can dramatically reduce the chances of disease, structural weakness and branch failure as the tree matures.</p>
<p>Stump Removal Tree Service:<br />
Either by ‘grubbing out’ by hand (if the stump is small enough), employing a stump grinding machine (if the stump is large) or poisoning the stump and allowing it to slowly decay over time. All pruning cuts comply to modern arboricultural principles which limit, as much as possible, the impact of tree surgery on tree health<br />
Veteran Tree Management Tree Service:<br />
Veteran trees are ancient specimens in the final stage of their life. Because of their old age they provide us with significant biological, aesthetic and cultural interest. The vitality of veteran trees is normally slowing and they are frequently in a dangerous condition. As a result the temptation is often to remove them.</p>
<p>With careful planning and ongoing management UTC can help you safely preserve your old trees in an attractive state. One of the most recent developments in veteran tree management as a tree service is the use of Natural Fracture Techniques (NFT).</p>
<p>A NFT is a pruning cut that mimic the jagged edges character esthetically seen on broken branches following storm damage. When looking more natural than conventional pruning cuts they provide wonderful habitat for a myriad of fungi, insects and birds whilst removing any structural weakness.</p>

<p>See the Urban Tree Care Services below:</p>
<p>Crown Reduction:<br />
The ends of all branches are reduced, in length, back to suitable ‘growth</p>
<p>points’ (side branches). As a result the entire tree crown is reduced, in</p>
<p>size and volume, whilst retaining the natural shape of the species. This</p>
<p>procedure is usually stipulated in terms of a percentage rarely more than</p>
<p>25%.</p>
<p>   <br />
Crown Thinning:<br />
Branches are removed from within the tree crown in order to make it</p>
<p>uniformly less dense. The natural shape of the tree is completely unaffected</p>
<p>but the wind resistance is reduced and more light allowed to filter through.</p>
<p>This procedure is usually stipulated in terms of a percentage, rarely more</p>
<p>than 30%. This is a very effective way prohibiting a tree from falling</p>
<p>,especially in unpredictable weather conditions</p>
<p>Crown Lifting:<br />
Increasing the gap between ground level and the crown. This is normally</p>
<p>achieved by removing the lowest branches of the crown, to a specified</p>
<p>height.<br />
<a title="Tree Felling Jhb" href="http://www.tree-care.co.za" target="_blank">Tree Felling</a>:<br />
Causing a tree to fall under control by carefully making a series of cuts at</p>
<p>the base of the trunk.<br />
 </p>
<p>Sectional Felling:<br />
Carefully dismantling a tree in small sections. This operation is usually</p>
<p>undertaken by making use of pulley and rope techniques as well as the</p>
<p>structure of the tree itself for skilled branch removal.<br />
Dead Wooding:<br />
The removal of dead or dying branches usually for safety and aesthetics.</p>
<p>Larger dead branches can be safely retained (in order to provide habitat for</p>
<p>birds and insects) by reducing their length and weight.<br />
 </p>
<p>Hedge Cutting:<br />
Hedges of any size can be topped and trimmed to your specific dimensions.<br />
 </p>
<p>Formative Pruning:<br />
The formation of a healthy stem and branch framework in very young trees.</p>
<p>Achieved by carefully selecting and removing diseased wood, congested and</p>
<p>rubbing branches and weak branch unions. Correct formative pruning can</p>
<p>dramatically reduce the chances of disease, structural weakness and branch</p>
<p>failure as the tree matures.</p>
<p>Stump Removal:<br />
Either by ‘grubbing out’ by hand (if the stump is small enough), employing a</p>
<p>stump grinding machine (if the stump is large) or poisoning the stump and</p>
<p>allowing it to slowly decay over time. All pruning cuts comply to modern</p>
<p>arboricultural principles which limit, as much as possible, the impact of</p>
<p>tree surgery on tree health<br />
 </p>
<p>Veteran Tree Management:<br />
Veteran trees are ancient specimens in the final stage of their life.</p>
<p>Because of their old age they provide us with significant biological,</p>
<p>aesthetic and cultural interest. The vitality of veteran trees is normally</p>
<p>slowing and they are frequently in a dangerous condition. As a result the</p>
<p>temptation is often to remove them.</p>
<p>However, with careful planning and ongoing management UTC can help you</p>
<p>safely preserve your old trees in an attractive state. One of the most</p>
<p>recent developments in veteran tree management, that we try and employ at</p>
<p>UCT where possible, is the use of Natural Fracture Techniques (NFT ).</p>
<p>NFT&#8217;s are pruning cuts that mimic the jagged edges character esthetically</p>
<p>seen on broken branches following storm damage. As well as looking more</p>
<p>natural than conventional pruning cuts they provide wonderful habitat for a</p>
<p>myriad of fungi, insects and birds whilst removing any structural weakness.<br />

Pest control of ants and termites.Ants which appear in the garden, domestic and industrial environment become an uncontrollable nuisance. There are hundreds of different species.  The treatment of ants/termites is a very labor intensive exercise. The success rate is good, but we will never get rid of them 100%. The main nest can be 500m away from the area they appear.  To spray them with domestic pesticides you only kill the ones you see.  Structural damages caused by ants and termites can be severe.  Usually when termite activity is noticed, severe structural damage already took place.  Immediate treatment to prevent further damage is essential.</p>
<p><a title="Pest control cockroaches" href="http://www.goggopestcontrol.co.za/D_Cocroaches.htm" target="_blank">Pest control of Cockroaches</a>. Cockroaches are one of the most irritating and endurable pests we have in our homes and industrial environment.  They appear in all places.  The most common one is the German cockroaches which normally appear in the kitchen.  They are small and brown of color.  They have the ability to multi play to an unexpected rate.   2 Cockroaches – 50 000 cockroaches per year.  They can life in temperatures from 18 degrees to 75 with ease.   Cockroaches can life for two weeks without water and a month without food.   Cockroach infestation is a risk for humans.  A study done in America in 2005 proofed that cockroaches can promote allergies like asthma.  Food contaminated by cockroaches may lead to serious diarrhea.</p>
<p>Controling pests like Fleas. Fleas are a common domestic pest in hot humid areas.  Homes with pets tend to have a bigger problem with fleas.  Fleas are only staying on the pet (host) to feed.  They live in the sand or lawn surfaces in the garden.  Even in the house in the carpets or bedding. Flea eggs can survive up to 9 month in the sand.  They are breeding rapidly and cause an irritation which can lead to signs.  Any pet, human or other pests like rodents are hosts of fleas.  It is very important to treat the pets when the domestic area is treated.</p>
<p>Pest control information regarding bedbugs.As for fleas bedbugs are only on the host to feed.  They only appear when it is dark.  Nest normally in the furniture or bedding.  The bite marks is red with a light circle around the mark.  A few bite marks not far from each other and it itch a lot.Rodents are appearing more and more in the domestic environment and are really becoming a pest to take note of.  Damage to the home structure and vehicles are evident.  Two rodents can multi ply to 18000 rodents in one year.  When you see or hear one there will be defiantly more than 5 already.Birds are difficult to control.  Prevention is the best way of bird control.  The control of food spillages and the control on nests are ways of controlling birds.</p>
<p>Controling Spiders and Scorpions. Spiders and scorpions are some of the most dangerous pests in your domestic environment.  These pests can cause serious injury which can relate in death if not treated.Flying insect’s best control is to prevent them.  This is difficult.  In the case of bees and wasps the best way is to deal with the nest.  In hot humid conditions bees and wasps do get more aggressive. Dogs and cats contaminate stock in the industrial environment.  They do not assist in the combat of other pests.  Therefore they become a pest themselves.</p>
<p>The vision of a pest contol service must be to provide effective pest control services. The mission to deliver an efficient cost effective domestic and industrial pest control service to clients to enable them to provide their clients with a pest free service delivery. Goals of pest control services are: Cost effective, efficient, professional and effective service delivery.Small client base, service delivery of a high standard.Loyal support to clients.Support clients in the prevention of pests and proactive approach to cut on the usage of pesticides in the food industry. Technical support, pest elimination, the enhancing of sanitation and safety audits to create a healthier and safer environment for all.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Gift Packaging for Weddings" href="http://www.reddotgiftpackaging.co.za" target="_blank">Gift packaging </a>is synonym with weddings.  Invitations, favors, wedding gifts, confetti and numerous other items needs gift packaging.</p>
<p>Brides spend months in advance planning their big day and how gift packaging will be used.  Invitations are handmade or printed and posted in gift packaging.  Favors for guests come in gift packaging, whether it is Organza gift bags, <a title="Gift Boxes Gift Bags" href="http://www.reddotgiftpackaging.co.za" target="_blank">gift boxes or gift bags</a>.  Once the theme for the wedding is decided on, gift packaging can be planned accordingly.</p>
<p>Visit reddotgiftpackaging.co.za for a wide selection of gift packaging available for brides.</p>
<p>Receiving invitations in special gift packaging makes the guests feel special and urges them to attend.  Collecting of gift packaging is a hobby for grannies and future brides.</p>
<p>Romantic weddings with lots of Organza ribbons ask for gift packaging complementing the theme.  Modern weddings ask for more straight lined gift packaging.  60’s weddings ask for round and curved lines and your gift packaging will then include hat gift boxes.</p>
<p>Ribbons, raffia and other accessories need to compliment the gift packaging and bring out the colour you decide on.  A designer rule when looking at your colour and planning your gift packaging is the 80/30/spot principle.  For example your wedding is Purple, white and pink.  Use 80% White, 30% purple and touches of pink on your decorations and gift packaging. White tables in this instance will be in perfect harmony if your gift packaging is purple with pink ribbons.  Whether choosing organza ribbons or Satin ribbons is up to the theme you wish to portray.</p>
<p>Visit reddotgiftpackaging.co.za for a selection of organza ribbons, satin ribbons and raffia to choose from.</p>
<p>In the end your ambiance will be perfect if you keep to these principles in your décor and gift packaging. </p>
<p>Modern brides have list at favorite stores where guests can purchase gifts for the couple.  Plan your gift packaging so that guests can have their gifts placed in your choice gift packaging.  Your gift packaging can then afterwards be used in your home for storage.  This will remind you of your big day and help you organize your first home.</p>
<p>Very often we receive double of the same gift or an item we honestly can’t see ourselves using.  When opening gifts and unwanted items are found, simple keep it in the gift packaging and pass on to the next person. </p>
<p>One of my secrets is to keep a treasure chest with gifts and gift packaging ready for emergency occasions.</p>
<p>Weddings are special and are worth the effort we put in to them.  Gift packaging is part of this effort.  Photos will remind you of this special day, you don’t want a fraction of your big day not looking up to scratch.</p>
