Personalize our aluminum and recycled plastic benches, picnic tables, and receptacles in one of three ways:
Personalized Site Furnishings can be used in a variety of ways
- Memorial Bench or Memorial Garden programs – Many cities and park districts allow community members to purchase benches that bear the name of loved ones they want to honor or memorialize. It's an excellent way to foster goodwill and pride in the community, while easing the financial burden of furnishing public spaces. These programs can also be used as fund raisers for garden clubs and civic pride organizations.
- Show school or corporate pride – Placing personalized site furnishings on school or corporate campuses emphasizes pride and encourages the use of public spaces for rest and relaxation.
- Recognize the contributions of long-time volunteers or employees – When an employee or volunteer retires after years of dedicated service, a perfect way to recognize their commitment is to commemorate it with a personalized bench in a visible location.
- Engrave picnic tables, benches, and receptacles to deter theft and vandalism – An increase in the theft of aluminum products across the U.S. can be deterred by engraving the city or organization's name in plain site on furnishings. Likewise, engraving emphasizes ownership and can reduce instances of vandalism to items in public spaces.
Beginning a Memorial Bench Program
- Select the type of bench your program will offer to donors. We highlight three of our bestselling benches in our sample brochure, two of recycled plastic and one of vertical steel strap. Select your bench (or benches) based upon pricing, appearance, and where they will be located in your community.
- Determine where the benches will be installed. Select a park, a public walkway, or scenic overlook and identify several spots upon which benches can be placed. Decide if you will allow your donors to select the final location of their bench or if it will be placed by the oversight committee or others.
- Set pricing for the benches. After reviewing the retail pricing for our benches, determine what additional costs you may incur with the program (ie. installation, maintenance, advertising) before setting the total that donors will need to contribute. Consult your accountant to determine what percentage of your donor's contribution will be tax deductible, if necessary.
- Design and distribute promotional material. Download a sample brochure for your reference. Click on any photo of our benches (below) or engraving samples (above) to download for use in your own brochures and promotional materials. Remember, these benches are just suggestions…personalization is available for all our benches!

Why you should visit the new Design Museum in Kensington
The new Design Museum has finally opened at its stunning new location on Kensington High Street. The museum, founded by Sir Terence Conran in 1989 was originally based in a converted banana warehouse in Shad Thames, where it gave us many stunning displays of human invention. However, finding themselves with a need to expand, the search began for a suitable new home. This came in the form of the 1960s former Commonwealth Institute on Kensington High Street. Read on for why you should visit the new Design Museum in Kensington.
A new design for a new era
The world has changed immensely since the Design Museum first opened and with its new home comes a sleek new look for the museum. Minimalist designer, John Pawson has created the new interior with the aim of turning the building into a suitable new home for the museum whilst holding onto the building's unique nuances. The eagerly awaited opening of the new Design Museum was due to occur in 2014 however the renovations to the grade ll listed building in Kensington proved problematic leading to a two year delay. The final result has given the museum three times as much exhibition space in Kensington than it previously had in Shad Thames. This allows it to have its first permanent exhibition as well as two temporary instalment areas; a designer in residence studio, library and archive, a 202 seat auditorium and one events space. There will also be two shops, a café, restaurant and members lounge.
What's on at the new Design Museum in Kensington?
Fear and Love: Reactions to a Complex World
Chief Curator, Justin McGuirk's first exhibition is Fear and Love: Reactions to a Complex World. This display aims to express the feelings that new technology instils in people. With eleven instalments from some of the most ingenious creators of contemporary design, these works explore a myriad of current issues including networked sexuality and sentient robots.
Beazley's Designs of the Year show
Now in its ninth year, Beazley's Designs of the Year Show celebrates the best of contemporary design across six categories: architecture, digital, fashion, graphics, product and transport. The designers range from well-established professionals to talented newcomers.
To find out more about the awards, take a look at the nominees or to book tickets visit the Design Museum website.
Designer Maker User
Designer Maker User is The Design Museums first permanent free display. The exhibition features various examples of items designed during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, viewed from the different stand points of the designer, manufacturer and user. The pieces in the display, which also features a crowd sourced wall, cover a wide range of disciplines from engineering to fashion and graphics.
The Design Museums designers in residence
The designers in residence programme is an integral part of the museum's activity. It provides up and coming designers the chance to work outside their usual environment, giving them the opportunity to reflect on new ways of developing their skills.
The theme for 2016 is 'Open' with the residents including Alix Bizet, Clementine Blakemore, Andrea de Chirico and Rain Wu.
Talks, events and workshops at The Design Museum
The Design Museum is now in a position to offer so much more to the visiting public. This includes a fascinating schedule of talks and events, designed to inspire and educate. This month they have a British Sign Language tour for deaf visitors and multi-sensory tour for those who are partially sighted. For those looking for the perfect Christmas gift for the design conscious person in your life, there will also be a Design Museum Market.
If you are artistically inclined then head to the museum on the 3rd Sunday of every month to join an expert illustrator who will guide you through various drawing activities from architecture to drawing objects held within the collection.
There is also a schedule of workshops for all ages including Create and Make, aimed at 5-11 year olds where they create their own designs inspired by the exhibitions. The Get Into Design workshops are short courses for families and youngsters to help nurture and build confidence in design skills. The museum is also offering a new free programme, Young Creatives for people aged 14-19 years old who will get to work alongside designers on projects to develop new skills and interests. Keep an eye on the website for news of upcoming events and courses!
The Design Museum is a fantastic addition to the area and is in very good company with the V&A, Royal College of Art, Science Museum and the Natural History Museum just a stone's throw away. The new location is expected to bring in more than 400,000 visitors a year and will hopefully inspire a whole new generation of designers!

Mission Statement
Every child deserves the best possible start in life and support to reach their full potential.
Children learn best when they are healthy, safe and secure, when their individual needs are met and when they have positive relationships with the adults caring for them.
Our aim is for the children to have the opportunity to learn through play and new experiences and to develop individual skills at their own pace in a supportive environment where they are positively encouraged, valued and respected, and for the children to be happy in our care.

Part of the purpose of mental health centers like High Plains Mental Health Center is to help individuals who struggle with mental illnesses to be able to function normally within their communities. To do this, the Center brings a broad range of services to the table including short term respite care for children through our Homeward Bound program, the Schwaller Center crisis center, Woodhaven and Colby House apartments, and more traditional services like therapy and medication services. However, many of these services require the participation of people like you who are willing to go the extra mile to help those in our communities who are struggling. Here are some of the ways you could get involved:
Become a Homeward Bound Resource Family:
Homeward Bound provides kids with mental health diagnoses with temporary placements with area families who are trained to help adolescents learn to cope with their mental health struggles. To be a resource family, your home must pass state inspections much like a foster home must, and our staff will train you so that you are equipped to work with the children who are placed in your home. This is a fabulous program that impacts a lot of lives. For testimonials from families who have worked as resource families, click here.
Apply to become a Recovery Worker:
Recovery Workers help with much of the day to day business of caring for clients at High Plains Mental Health Center. Job tasks include providing transportation, helping with kids groups, and working one-on-one with individuals in the Schwaller Center. This is a great job for students who are considering a career in mental health, but it is also an excellent job for retired individuals who are willing to help and make a little extra money. Hours are flexible with a limit of 28 hours per week. For more information on Recovery Worker positions, click here.
Serve on the High Plains Mental Health Center Governing Board:
High Plains' Board is comprised of one voting member and one alternate from each of our 20 counties as well as "at large" board members who represent High Plains' clients. High Plains' Board Members are appointed by their respective county commissions and approved by the sitting board. For more information on the High Plains Mental Health Center Governing Board, contact David Anderson – Director of Clinical Services at (800) 432-0333.
Work for High Plains Mental Health Center:
High Plains Mental Health Center has a variety of positions open for both clinical staff and support staff. HPMHC provides competitive wages and a comprehensive benefits package for full-time employees. For more information on employment, click here.

I caught this movie when it showed up on the Television. I had no idea what it was. Just decided to go in and watch it. Really. I had zero idea what it was about other than the title.
This movie. It's strange, to say the least, and not in a quirky way. Really, it feels like an anime or video game brought to live action, but as far as I know, it's an original story. The movie is directed by Mamoru Oshii, who also did Ghost in the Shell.
There are eight tribes of Garms in the world that are unable to create new life. That's why they use cloning technology to perpetuate their wars for Garm tribe supremacy. This only occurs after their creator leaves and all of the Druids die off. From the title, you already know there's going to be another druid, though the druid character oddly sits on the sidelines for pretty much the whole movie.
The visuals are pretty good, though also really CGI. The colors for the film are just so muted. It was actually straining for me to watch it at times because things wash together so much. The plot pretty much drops you into the last days of the war. They catch you up to speed by name dropping all eight tribes. It's like the movie knew viewers would be confused, so the first time important characters come up, they get nameplate introductions. Only the beginning still a bit confusing on the first viewing, and I didn't really feel like watching it a second time.
The movie is really stylish, but that's about it. The world never really finds its footing in the rather short film. I never cared why they were fighting. And real people don't do stylish action scenes as well, so they didn't have that either. There seems to be no normal people in the world. Just a bunch of Garms fighting and the main characters wondering why things are the way they are.
With only a hurried introduction, the movie more quieter times that gives some more character motivations.
Some spoilers for the movie follow. Just vague things, no specifics.
Then comes the last act, which I think is act 4? Yes, the movie divides itself into acts. Stuff gets super crazy and it all ends on massive cliffhanger. Pun intended for those that have seen the movie. It really makes the entire journey just feel not worth it.
This movie is just strange. It plays out like it expects you to know a lot of backstory material, only I don't think there actually is any backstory material around. It's trying to be stylish but real people can't do that as well as animated people, not in the physics defying anime way. The the cliffhanger makes the journey feel not worth. It's a pretty weird piece of film that would have benefitted greatly by giving viewers a reason to care about anything that's going on.

Are Youk freakin' serious?…
Sleeping with the Enemy…
News that the Yankees have signed veteran third baseman Kevin Youkilis have not been well received in the Yankees Universe…obviously. Sure, there have been a few ex-Boston Red Sox players make their way to the Bronx but certainly none who have been as despised as Youk. His crime? Playing with passion and all-out perseverance to find ways to beat the Yankees. He is one of those tough, gritty players that are relentless and when they smell blood, it's over. Youk has struggled with injuries in recent years and he had a falling out with former Sox manager Bobby Valentine, who has historically taken to gritty players. I know, there is the stat line that he only got one hit in his final 59 at-bats with the Chicago White Sox last season. Nevertheless, I am willing to give Youk a chance.
Admittedly, I am not an Alex Rodriguez fan and I am still bent the Yankees didn't let him walk away when he opted out of his first mega contract. But with third base possibilities such as Eric Chavez and Jeff Keppinger signing elsewhere, the Yankees had to do something given that A-Rod will be lost for most of the season due to his upcoming hip surgery. Going to camp with Eduardo Nunez as the starting third baseman, given the team doesn't have a starting catcher or right fielder, was not appealing in any way. No one really knows how A-Rod will play next season when or if he returns, so odds are they need a solid third baseman for the entire season. With Youk on board, the Yanks still need to get insurance at third in case Youk goes down. But I think as long as he gets sufficient rest, he'll stay healthy and be an effective part of the Yankees lineup.
When Youk homers for the first time against the Red Sox, I am sure that the Yankee cheers will come around. Yankee fans love players who play with passion so long as the player is on their team. It will always be hard to look at Youk and not think of the 2004 World Champion Red Sox, but he is not the same player he was then and this is a new chapter in his life. When he walks away from the game, he will be remembered as part of the Red Sox organization but for a year or two, he can certainly make an effective contribution for the home team.
There are guys on the current Red Sox roster that I have great respect for, like Jon Lester and Dustin Pedroia. Youk was one of those guys. Sure, I hated the guy in difficult games between the Yankees and Red Sox, but I always had a quiet respect for him. Of course, this could all be premature as Youk still has to pass a physical but I look forward to seeing what he can do in the Bronx sans the famed goatee. It will also be interesting to see if the Yankees continue to hold #20 in reserve out of respect for Jorge Posada or if they assign it to Youk given it was his number in Boston and Chicago. I suspect he'll end up with something other than #20, but until it happens, you never know.
I saw a quote in George King's column in The New York Post from Mariano Rivera that I agree with completely: "Yankee (fans) didn't like him but he was wearing a Red Sox uniform. I can't decide for them but he will be my teammate and I have to respect him for that." Youk is a Yankee, and like Mo, I respect him for that.
Ichiro, Part II…
All indications are the Yankees will be coming to terms with Ichiro Suzuki on a new deal to keep him in the Bronx. The question is whether it will be one or two years. At 39, I'd probably prefer a one year deal so that the team can reassess its options at the end of the year. Every move has been made with the intent to get the payroll under $189 million by 2014 for luxury tax purposes and a second year for Ichiro would erode into the dollars available for any talent upgrades next off-season.
As it stands, I do not like an outfield of Brett Gardner, Curtis Granderson and Ichiro, but I will be interested to see who they bring in as the fourth outfielder. Perhaps that individual will solidify this outfield corps into a strong and powerful unit. I am not opposed to trading Granderson and moving Gardner to center, but the Yankees would need to replace his offensive production elsewhere in the lineup. All signs so far this winter indicate the Yankees will not do anything to the extreme. Yes, they could still swoop in with a blockbuster trade, but I highly doubt it. The sad part is the current Yankees roster is not as strong as last year's squad, while the Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox have clearly improved. Tampa Bay may have traded a top starting pitcher in James Shields, but they picked up one of the best prospects in baseball in Wil Myers. Tampa also seems to be able to pull aces out of their farm system every year so there's no doubt they'll find a capable replacement for Shields. Baltimore hasn't made any major moves but they still have the team to over-achieve. I do not know what next year will bring. The Yankees still have December and January to improve, but the likelihood diminishes with each passing day. If the Yankees falter in 2013, what does 2014 look like? I can't see the team suddenly reversing course and going into "Dodger" mode to sign free agents. I think the Yankees will remain competitive, but I am not convinced they have the horses to win the World Series.
Maybe the All-Star Game should be the Dodgers against everyone else…
My favorite National League team is the Los Angeles Dodgers, but I am struggling with the thought of cheering for the two highest payrolls in baseball. My affection for the Dodgers is primarily because of my long-time hero, Don Mattingly, but the huge salary outlay by the Dodgers will create unrealistic expectations in Dodgerland and it will be tough for Donnie Baseball if the Dodgers struggle. I remain hopeful that he'll one day find his way back to the Bronx to manage, but I am not pulling for him to get fired next year. I am not sure who I would pull for in the NL if not the Dodgers. I live in the Bay Area so there's always the San Francisco Giants, but they've won the World Series in two of the last three years and I don't want to jump on the bandwagon. My fallback has always been the St Louis Cardinals because that's where I experienced attending my first major league baseball game as a teenager so many years ago. I suppose that I'll stick with the Dodgers as long as Mattingly is there, but Magic Johnson and company have certainly made it more challenging by their willingness to spend excessively.
Why does February 12th (when pitchers and catchers report) seem so close yet so far away?…
Forgiving Damon for that 2004 homer…
Sayonara, old friends…
This was a sad week for former Yankees stars as Hideki Matsui and Johnny Damon were designated for assignment by their respective teams (Tampa Bay Rays and Cleveland Indians). Matsui has subsequently been released and Damon's release is imminent. I doubt that either player will be picked up at this point in the season so it is most likely the sunset of both careers.
For Matsui, I think his original plan was to only play in the United States for three years but I am grateful that he extended his stay. He may not have been the "monster" player that he was in Japan (a/k/a Godzilla), but he knew and understood the power of the timely hit. Time and again, Matsui had a key hit to propel the Yanks to victory. He always seemed to rise to the occasion in the intense Boston-New York wars. In terms of character, he could easily stand in the same room with guys like Derek Jeter.
It hasn't been fun watching Matsui wear Angels, A's, and Rays jerseys, but he will always be Yankee.
As for Damon, it is ironic that a player who played such a key role in the Red Sox breaking 'The Curse of the Bambino', plus the entire Caveman image, could become a valued Yankee. Unlike Matsui, I won't view Damon as a "Yankee" given his long tenure and success with other teams, but for his time in New York, he showed nothing but class and dignity. Like Matsui, he was a clutch player who seemed to excel in the bright lights.
Introducing Billy Beane's latest star pitcher…
With the apparent end of two great careers this week, I saw the opposite on a plane trip from Portland, OR to Oakland on Thursday. The guy I was sitting next to was excited to be flying to Oakland to see his son, Dan Straily, make his major league pitching debut for the A's on Friday night. He was proud to say that his son led all of baseball in strikeouts, and talked about the hard work his son had accomplished to get to this point. For the game, Straily didn't figure in the decision, but his performance was a success:
|Oakland Athletics
|D Straily
The A's won the game, 5-4, in 15 innings. I am sure that we've not seen the last of Mr. Straily. Here's hoping this is the start of a long and memorable career for Straily, his father and the rest of their family.
When in doubt, pick up a Pirate…
While the trading deadline was very active compared to recent years, it was another quiet period for the Yankees. As the now fiscally conservative Yankees had been preaching, they did not make any moves for expensive, short-term rentals. They picked up a need (third baseman Casey McGehee) to ensure that backup third baseman Eric Chavez is not over exposed to playing time while starter Alex Rodriguez is on the DL. It's a shame that Chavez is such an injury risk at this stage of his career, but I agree that it is best to limit his playing time for the good of his long-term health.
I thought the Yanks might try to make a move for a pitcher (someone like Ryan Dempster or Matt Garza) but it was clear that they would not overpay. Time will tell if they made the right decisions, but I still have concerns about the team's offense in the play-offs when every pitcher they face will be a #1 or #2 starter. But September should see the return of top pitcher Andy Pettitte and a fresh Alex Rodriguez so perhaps those will be the team's noteworthy "acquisitions" that boost team momentum.
Magic seems to be enjoying his new hobby…
The Los Angeles Dodgers have clearly re-emerged as a force in baseball with the new ownership group as they were the most active team in acquiring upgrades over the past couple of weeks (Hanley Ramirez, Shane Victorino and Joe Blanton). I guess they've gotten over the reign of Frank McCourt and have shown that they are back in the game. The San Francisco Giants are a strong team, but I think the Dodgers' moves will help propel them past the Giants to the NL West pennant. Good for Dodgers manager Don Mattingly who remains one of my favorite guys in Major League Baseball.
Nothing but crickets…
I was surprised the Boston Red Sox didn't make any moves. If there was a team that I had expected to make noise at the trading deadline, it was the Sox. I don't think they should give up quality guys like Jacoby Ellsbury or Jon Lester, but there were moves they could have made to give the team a jolt. I may not be a fan of the Red Sox so I might be biased in making this comment, but I hope that this is a 'one and done' season for Boston manager Bobby Valentine.
We've moved into August and the Yankees hold a 6 ½ game advantage at the moment, but admittedly, it's hard to get comfortable when that team in the rear view mirror is the Tampa Bay Rays. The next couple of months should be interesting. Let's win this thing!…

So I havent updated my hair in quite a while so I am going to go ahead and do it all in one post for the past month or so. I tried to post this last week, but was having trouble exporting my video for upload. I was finally able to get it done last night!!
For Halloween I colored the ends of my hair red. It looked awesome and everyone loved it. Now I am the girl who washes her hair every single day in the morning. Whether it is my natural hair or a weave, I have to put some water in it.
The problem with that is the red was:
A) Getting everywhere! All over my bathroom and clothes whenever my hair was still wet
B) Fading really fast. I have been trying to wash my hair with cool water but some days I have to use hot and that makes it fade even faster. At the moment there is just a slight hint of red on the ends. I think the color might have lasted for about 2 weeks before it actually turned pink and faded completely. Maybe even less.
I shampooed my hair a few times because my scalp felt icky. I ran the shampoo through the weave cap and hair as well. I hate when my scalp gets like that underneath.
Its my biggest pet peeve ever.
The problem with shampooing my hair is my braids got super frizzy and its not really good in my opinion to shampoo braids. I prefer washing loose hair. That way I feel like the hair is getting completely clean instead of partially.
A few weeks after redoing my braids in Oct. they were already really loose. I ended up wearing those particular braids for about a month and a half before taking them down the weekend before last.
To secure the hair down to mine I sewed a track of thread in an L shape on either side of my part and sewed the edge of my hair down on top of that. At this point I feel like this is one of the better application methods because it feels really secure and is nice and flat. Also, it hasnt slipped at all yet either. I secured the rest of it down with bobby pins and it looks great.
I kind of feel like I might have been breaking my hair off over the last few times I have been taking down and rebraiding my hair. My ends really needed to be trimmed. So this time I was extra careful with how I combed out and detangled my hair.
I didn't get any breakage this time. The Lekair's conditioner also helped as well. It has been a few months since I ran out of my last jar and no other conditioner has been able to make my hair feel the same as the Lekair's. I was really happy to have found it again, I have to say.
My hair has definitely grown a lot since I first put this hair in. I can't believe it has been 6 months already and I can't wait to be able to take it out and wear my hair. I don't think I will be doing that until next summer though.
I really want to give myself a really good haircut soon as well. I need for my ends to be nice and even. I will be doing that sometime next year.
I am going to order some new hair next month for my next style. I am definitely going to go shorter this time and I can't wait. I am not sure who I am going to order my hair from next but I do have 2 companies in mind.

Savannah is often referred to as the City built upon her dead. How true is this nickname, are there actually cemeteries all over Savannah's Historic District?Buy Tickets Online
One of the topics we cover on any of our Savannah Ghost Tours is the topic of Burial Grounds here in Savannah. After all, it seems like a lot of the Historic District is built on top of or near some sort of burial ground. Many people, including myself, think that these desecrated burial grounds are partially responsible for the high instance of hauntings here in Savannah.
The photograph above is the mini-monument to the Jewish Burial Ground set aside by General Oglethorpe, the founder of Savannah. We point this spot out on our ghost tours because of its unique location. It is located between the eastbound lane and westbound lane of Oglethorpe Ave. You heard that right, the burial ground is located between the lanes of this heavily traveled road. Of course part of the road covers this burial ground that was set aside for the first Jewish burials. I remember reading somewhere, and I wish I could remember where I read it from, that there are still three bodies buried in the grassy area between the two lanes.
When the guests one our ghost tours see this monument the idea of desecrated burials becomes real for them. You can easily see how this area was simply paved over, with little regard for those buried there. This is a common scenario which seems to play out all over the historic district.
Many cultures believe that when graves are disturbed or desecrated the people buried there will not remain at rest. Could this be at least partly responsible for the number of hauntings buildings here in Savannah? I would have to say that it does.
Throughout the Historic District, we know the location of many of these burials grounds. People who take our ghost tours would remember hearing the names of stops on our ghost tours, such as Calhoun Square. It seems that these areas to have more hauntings. Now lets think about all of the burials that took place in the last 300 years which we have no idea where they took place.
For many years burying your loved ones in your yard was allowed. These graves, long forgotten, are certainly still throughout the Historic District in Savannah. Is it possible that some of the haunting places we take you to on our ghost tours are also locations where these long forgotten burials took place? It is certainly possible.
With the number of secret and forgotten burial grounds in Savannah, it is impossible to give a ghost tour and not talk about them. Each one of our tours makes a stop at at least one of these forgotten burial grounds. You'll hear the stories of the people who are buried beneath your feet. But these burials are not the only reason for the hauntings here in Savannah.
Murders, suicides, battles, duels, disease epidemics…and the burial grounds talked about above have all have contributed to the high number of hauntings here in Savannah. These is no single reason that can explain all of it.
When you take a ghost tour with Ghost City Tours you will learn about many of the hauntings here in Savannah.

Protective Lotus Esprit accessories are the perfect way to get everyone's attention back on the road.
Last Saturday you finally had a date with the person of your dreams. You've been trying to muster up the courage to ask them out, when low and behold—they ask you out! Go figure. Anyways, the date was going smoothly when you met at the restaurant. Then you two decided to get a little more cozy by sitting in your Esprit. (Insert cheesy music here.)
Things were so perfect all night and then—dun, dun, dun. Things came to a screeching halt when your date looked down at your floor mats. They were covered in soda spills, smashed on bubble gum, dirt foot prints and even half eaten candy bars which had begun to melt. Really? You didn't even bother to pick up the half eaten stuff? Wow. We're all for being yourself, but c'mon. If only you had purchased some Lotus Esprit accessories from AutoAnything. You could have laid down some Lloyd TruBerber Mats in your choice of color and with personalized embroidery options.

In an interesting article by Rick Warren of Saddleback Church, he proposes that the reason why churches do not move out of the 100-300 attendance category is due to a lack of renewal--personal, relational, missional, cultural, and especially structural renewal. He also strongly maintains that to break out of this smaller attendance block requires "exponential thinking" (www.saddlebackresources.com/en-US/CampaignDirector/CampaignCentral /CampaignTraining/Pastor/PastorsIdeaExchange/Exponential+Thinking.htm) and a radical change in structure that involves championing small groups rather than the classic smaller church organizational structure.
The "exponential thinking" precept he rallies for is problematic for me. Of course, once that is said the charge of "little" faith comes creeping into the discussion. Little faith gets little results; great faith gets great results, he would say. Really?! What troubles me in particular is that he hangs the principle of exponential thinking on Bible verses that have little or nothing to do with church growth, church size, and ministry expansion. For instance, just because the Israelites "multiplied" in the desert (Ex. 1:7,12) does not imply God loves large numbers and desires everything to so multiply, especially church attendance!
The issue of "faith" comes up a number of times. The principle he draws from passages such as Matthew 9:29 is "according to your faith, it will be done to you." Thus great, expectant, out-of-the-box faith will produce astounding church growth results. And, he would say he has the stats to prove it and the testimonials to support it. I wonder if Jesus Himself would agree with Rick's use of these verses for numbers of people in church!
In my consulting with scores of smaller churches in the 100-300 range, especially in the northeast, I have found that men and women of significant faith and hope pastor these churches. I have found pastors that "believe God for great things" only to be faced year after year with churches that do not significantly grow, do not significantly change and people who remain content with where they are. It is too easy to blame the lack of growth on "little faith." And it, in fact, angers me that a megachurch pastor has the audacity to say so! No matter how many testimonials to the contrary.
So what does work in church growth? Here's the answer -- Nothing and anything! "Nothing" means that WE cannot make the church grow. No matter how many "40 Day" Campaigns and programs one has, there is never a "guarantee" for significant growth, or even little and lasting growth. GOD alone is the One who sovereignly gives or withholds church growth, no matter how much or even how little human effort is expended. While Rick pays lip service to this precept, it really is an overriding precept for any church leader and for any church. I have seen weak and below average pastors with very little programmatic savvy grow their churches, and I have seen very gifted and talented pastors set grand objectives and never see growth. GOD gives the increase, no matter how much seed we plant!
"Anything" means church growth does not in the end hang upon a well-tuned program or campaign or thrust. If we do a campaign and God grants growth we tend to think it was our hard work, sweat, tears, prayers and so forth that produced it. (Oh. come on! Sure it is!!) If we preach sermons that barely hang together, have administrative nightmares in church programming and yet love people and the church grows, we end up amazed. And, if the church really grows we are asked for our "secret." There is NO SECRET. "Anything" means God often uses weakness for His own glory and purposes.
So then, do we enmesh ourselves in passivity? Do we do nothing about church growth? Do we do away with all the campaigns? I'm not saying that at all. But before we get our heartbeat going on "exponential thinking" we need to understand that God and God alone will either bless the campaign, ignore the campaign, diminish the campaign, or go around the campaign to accomplish His objectives for His church, of which we are just "managers" for a season.

Kaz Gable isn't originally from Idaho. He's not even from the Mountain West. Before moving to Idaho from Wisconsin, he'd barely heard of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, had never seen a whistle pig and was more-or-less unacquainted with racist car decals. On Aug. 2 at the second annual Boise's Funniest Person showcase at Liquid, Gable expertly parlayed his quasi-ignorance of the Gem State--and his "high-level dick jokes"--into comedy gold, earning him the title of Boise's Funniest Person. Gable went home with bragging rights, a more confident swagger, thicker, more luxurious hair and a $1,000 prize after beating strong contenders Gabe Hess, Merry Cole, Tommy Chartier and Brett Kennedy.

Chapter Events
The Chicago Chapter is committed to the VFP Statement of Purpose and the five goals contained therein. We are always looking for innovative methods and initiatives to achieve these goals. Our list of reoccurring activities is growing. Here are some of them:
* We attend and speak at every CPS Board meeting about the destructive effects of teaching 10,000 children the military model of conflict resolution by violence. See our Facebook sites - ChicagoVFP and DeMilitarizeCPS, our Twitter site DeMilitarizeCPS and our web site dedicated to to de-militarization www.EducationNotMilitarization.org
* We join with other groups to speak out for nonviolence in our homes, streets, city, state and nation.
* We hold Memorial Day and Armistice (Veteran's) Day ceremonies where we speak out about the travesty of using violence as a conflict resolution method.
* We assist in the annual Homeless Vets Stand-down by staffing the kitchen in the National Armory where it is held. The Stand-down provides fresh meals to homeless vets and also links them up with services, such as medical screening and eyeglasses and more read more!
* We speak at schools, churches and other venues about our mission to "serve the cause of world peace" by ending violence in all forms. Also consider us for special days like Martin Luther King's birthday, International Peace Day, Earth Day (the military is the world's most environmentally destructive organization), Mother's Day (founded as a peace day), May Day, or any day that has meaning for your group.
We also send delegates to the VFP National Convention (typically every August. Go to Veterans for Peace, National for information), and other national demonstrations.
MONTHLY Chapter Meetings: Typically the second or third Sunday of the month at 6:30 PM. Contact us for the date of the next meeting or check out our calendar.

Aaaand we're back! Thanks for giving me a week off to catch up and work on other projects. Let's get back to business...
That's Richard Burbage, Shakespeare's leading man and business partner. They make a great team, don't they? I'd certainly prefer to see them on my TV every night as opposed to... certain other people. Person. Thing.
Speaking of which, this is your last chance to pick up my election-themed t-shirts and bumper stickers from the Good Tickle Shoppe! These won't be reprinted (obviously) so get 'em before they're gone. I'll be wearing my t-shirt at the polls next month!
(PS - I am not in any way endorsing you to write in Shakespeare on your ballot. Please don't do that.)

Stabilize Population to Save Water, Energy, and California
In a recent editorial called "Save water, save energy, save California," the Los Angeles Times exhorts Californians to increase our water efficiency standards – do more with less in effect – to avoid even greater hardship during the next inevitable drought.
Ah, we Californians and our water!
It's an old story tied to the state's infamous drought cycle and our short memory span. A winter or two of abundant rain, deep Sierra snows, and gurgling snowmelt fills water supply reservoirs, aqueducts, and aquifers. Californians pour, spray, gush and flush water as profligately as if we lived in rain-drenched Georgia.
Then, all too predictably, the winter rains sputter and disappear for several years and the next drought is upon us, each one seemingly worse than the last. Emergency conservation measures are implemented and lawns turn brown; trees die by the billions and turn to tinder.
Rinse, repeat.
California's most recent drought cycle lasted essentially a decade, breaking only in the winter of 2016-2017, with torrential downpours in the north and a "more modest moistening" in the south.
It's debatable whether we have learned that water conservation must now become a fact of life year-in and year-out or if we're returning to our old binge-and-bust ways.
The Times editorial puts in a plug for SB-606 on water management planning, introduced by state senators Bob Hertzberg (D-Van Nuys) and Nancy Skinner (D-Berkeley). SB-606 would establish higher efficiency standards throughout the state, tailored to regionally variable climates and other local conditions, and potentially backed by penalties for non-compliance.
SB-606 goes beyond the 20 x 2020 Water Conservation Plan, passed by legislators during the drought, which aims for a 20% reduction in per capita water consumption by 2020. Under the 20 x 2020 plan, efficiency is treated as just one optional way to achieve water conservation goals. SB-606 mandates improved water efficiency.
Water conservation and water efficiency measures overlap, but they differ; conservation actually includes efficiency.
All of this is laudable and critically important if Californians are to weather upcoming droughts. But it is not enough. It's absolutely necessary but it's not sufficient.
Continued rapid population growth offsets and undermines all these commendable efforts. If Californians achieve a 20% reduction in per capita water us and our population grows by 20% in less than two decades, we will have gained nothing at all.
The Times editorial also correctly points out that energy consumption is linked to water consumption. It takes a lot of electricity to pump water from aquifers, desalinate it, and pump it across water basins (inter-basin transfer). The more water we use, the more energy it takes. And the opposite is also true: the more water we conserve, the more energy we conserve.

Weather in WhitbyWeather in Whitby is mild all year round with warm summers and mild winters. Climate in Whitby is influenced by westerly winds making Whitby very windy the winter months.
Small anticyclones also bring cold dry weather during winter or dry weather during summer which can sometimes lead to drought. Tourism is particularly high all year round as the various activities in Whitby attract people from all over the world to visit.
Whitby is a beautiful maritime town situated in the Borough of Scarborough, in North Yorkshire. This town has a distinct combination of rich maritime and mineral heritage. There are several reasons why Whitby is so renowned.
Firstly, the town is famous for its previous inhabitants, namely the famous poet Caedmon, one of Englandâs early poets who made Whitby his home as well as Captain James Cook, a British explorer.
Whitby is a popular spot for tourists due to its history in tourism that originated in Georgian times, and expanded with the development of the railway system in 1839. Itâs also famous for its gorgeous coastline and the North York Moors.
Due to its scenic natural beauty, Whitby is also the backdrop of the famous novel by Bram Stoker, the well-known Dracula. Whitby has also been featured in other books such as The Resurrectionists by Kim Wilkins, the Whitby Witches trilogy by Robin Jarvis, and The Hundred and Ninety Nine Steps by Michel Faber. N.
There are quite a number of things to do in Whitby from visiting its various castles, conversation centers, galleries and museums to indulging in leisure activities such as horseback riding, surfing, coach tours and sailing. From caravans to campsites, guest houses to hotels, cottages to bed & breakfasts;
Weather in Whitby is somewhat similar to York and the whole of the UK.
Spring is usually from March to May. Daytime temperatures are between 7ºC to 9ºC whereas night times temperatures drop to a range of 6ºC to 2ºC. Humidity levels during the spring time are around 79% to 82%. The amount of precipitation has been recorded at 0mm, with at least 15 days of light drizzle and 3 days of snowfall. Sunshine hours are about 6 to 8 hours in spring months.
At night, foggy conditions are prevalent, with records of at least 7 days of fog in a month. Much like the daytime temperatures, water temperatures also vary in spring, ranging from 4ºC to 7ºC. This is considered very chilly and swimming or any other water sport activities generally do not take place during this time.
Springtime has its share of famous festivals such as the Moor and Coast Whitby Spring Session.
Summer begins in June and ends in August.Temperatures reach highs of around 18ºC to 20ºC during the day and at night temperatures are typically around 6ºC to 11ºC. Weather is predominantly dry.
Humidity levels are in the range of 80% to 81% between June and August. The amount of precipitation is between 0mm to 1mm with an average of 14 days of light drizzle. For summer months, expect to see sunshine for at least 8 hours per day.
During summer months, water temperatures are cools at around 15ºC which makes the temperature comfortable enough to swim in and do water sports.
One of the most popular festivals to take place during summer is the Whitby Angling Festival. Although the festival runs all year long, summer attracts a bigger crowd of anglers.
September to November marks the season of autumn. After sunny days of summer, the weather gets a little colder and daytime temperatures drop to between 11ºC and 14ºC. At night, temperatures go down to 7ºC with the lowest records of temperature at night for autumn recorded at -2ºC.
Rainfall also increases during autumn and one can expect at least 18 to 22 days of light rain with the amount of precipitation staying low at 0mm. Sunshine hours also reduce to 5 hours per day and foggy conditions at night are about 9 days a month during autumn.Swimming is not advisable as the water temperatures go down to 11ºC.
December marks the beginning of winter, which lasts until February. Day time temperatures are around 5ºC and night time temperatures have been recorded to be at a low of -9ºC. Humidity levels increase from 88% to 91% during winter with at least 5 days of snowfall during these months. Precipitation levels have been recorded at 0mm with at least 16 days of cold drizzle.
During the winter, be prepared to see less of the sun, with at least 3 hours of sunshine on average. Fog is prevalent as well with at least 11 foggy days on average. Again, water temperatures decrease, with the lowest recorded at 8ºC.
Natural Disasters
Whitby is susceptible to flooding and landslides, as flood waters reach the lower terrains and colder weather is arriving. Recently, in November 2012, it has been reported that a landslide occurred in Whitby, causing several 150 year old Victorian houses to be severely affected. Risk of flooding is also high due to slow moving rivers. Some of these at risk Victorian houses are rented as holiday cottages, so tourists are advised to thoroughly gather information on their choice of accommodation before booking.
Apart from flooding and landslides, Whitby has been generally free of any other natural disasters...

By Oliver Lyttleton, Yahoo Movies Contributor
Spider-Man swings back into theaters this week in Spider-Man: Homecoming, with Tom Holland as Peter Parker in the character's first standalone film affiliated with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The five movies before Holland inherited the costume have taken in more than $4 billion at the box office. It's a record of success, with more to come — but if James Cameron had had his way, he'd have given Spider-Man fans a movie a decade before Tobey Maguire donned the Spidey suit.
Attempts to bring Marvel's signature comic-book hero to the big screen go back even further, to the mid-1980s, when Cannon Films' Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus — responsible for films such as Masters of the Universe starring Dolph Lundgren and Superman IV: The Quest for Peace — optioned the rights to Spider-Man. They developed various screenplays over the next few years, but budgetary issues and Cannon's deepening financial struggles kept any from ever making it to the starting line. When Golan was pushed out of the company, he took the Spider-Man rights with him, striking a deal in May 1990 with rising studio Carolco, producers of Total Recall and the Rambo movies.
The deal was done, according to Rebecca Keegan's biography of James Cameron, The Futurist, partly at the director's behest. Then in the midst of making Terminator 2: Judgment Day for the company, Cameron formally signed on to write and direct a Spider-Man movie after T2 became a huge box-office hit in summer 1991.
Some time in the next few years, as Cameron was also prepping his Arnold Schwarzenegger-starring actioner True Lies (released in 1994), he also wrote a detailed 57-page scriptment (part script, part treatment, mostly in prose but with occasional snippets of dialogue), which leaked online long ago. The document reveals that Cameron eyed a fairly faithful take on the character's origins (narrated in flashback by Spidey as he perched on the World Trade Center, also hauntingly the setting of the scriptment's final action sequence).
Cameron's story sees Queens high school student Peter Parker gain amazing powers from being bitten by a spider during a trip to a science lab, feel guilty over the death of his Uncle Ben at the hands of a robber he could have stopped, swoon over popular classmate Mary Jane Watson, become a crime-fighting vigilante known as Spider-Man, and battle supervillain Carlton Strand and his enforcer Boyd (whose powers reflect those of classic Spider-Man bad guys Electro and Sandman, though their origins and names are different here).
The scriptment was approved by, among others, the character's co-creator Stan Lee, who would tell Keegan: "It was the Spider-Man we all know and love, yet it all somehow seemed fresh and new." But it's likely that, had it been filmed, it would have proved controversial among fans. Cameron does a lot right in the document: the action (unsurprisingly for a master of the genre) reads as gripping and inventive, and the sequences where Peter gets his powers, including a dream sequence described in the scriptment as "a David Lynch bio-horror montage of spiderworld," are more effective than in any screen Spider-Man we've seen to date.
But it's also a strikingly dark and adult take on the character, one where Peter is morally conflicted and even tempted by a life of crime up to the very end. It means that his eventual turn to heroism is truly earned, but it also means a Spider-Man who is often sour and unsympathetic, a bullied kid who becomes a bully, with more in common with the character in the mostly disliked Spider-Man 3 or The Amazing Spider-Man 2 than the high points of the franchise. Cameron's grown-up take on the character even stretches to cursing — Peter calls Electro a "motherf—er" at one point — and sex, with a strange BDSM lovemaking scene between Spider-Man and Mary Jane on top of the Brooklyn Bridge.
In the end, Cameron didn't go much further with the project, though he may have offered a villainous role to frequent collaborator Schwarzenegger ("It never got there because he had a battle with the studio and they went in a different direction," Schwarzenegger would later tell Empire). Menahem Golan sued Carolco when Cameron allegedly tried to take his producer credit off the movie. By the mid '90s, Carolco was headed for bankruptcy after the expensive flops of Showgirls and Cutthroat Island, which caused a litany of lawsuits over the Spider-Man rights that took in virtually half the companies in Hollywood. Cameron tried to convince his new home, Fox, to pick them up, but the prospect of protracted legal battles deterred them: "For a couple of hundred thousand dollars in legal fees they could have had a $2 billion franchise. They blew it," Cameron would later say.
Nevertheless, Cameron's scriptment was initially used as the basis for the movie that finally got going at Columbia in the early 2000s; a number of his elements even made it to the finished film, including the idea that Peter's web-shooters were organic, rather than a machine he invented. Cameron ultimately decided not to compete for screenplay credit.
There have been a number of other tantalizing what-its for Spider-Man over the years, including a canceled fourth Sam Raimi/Tobey Maguire movie that would have seen the hero battling the Vulture (finally embodied in Homecoming by Michael Keaton), and a Sinister Six villain team-up movie from Cabin in the Woods director Drew Goddard that was scrapped after The Amazing Spider-Man 2 underperformed. But we'll always be most intrigued by what Cameron's version would have looked like, whatever the flaws in the story. At least for Cameron, he rebounded when it didn't happen: The films he did make — Titanic and Avatar — are the two top-grossing movies in history.

Here's A Little Bit About Me
I'm happily married and I'm a proud father of some pretty amazing kids. I have many interests and passions but in the end my family and friends mean the world to me. I'm a Generation X'er that was born and raised in New Jersey and I'm fortunate to be able to call both Tampa and Chicago home (depending on the season). I'm a big sports fan, I eat healthy 6 days per week…on day 7 I defile myself, like many guys I quote lines from movies more often than I probably should, I read books on a regular basis; I work very hard, I play very hard, Motto: "Assume I will, and I'll let you know if I won't.", I subscribe to fitness, finance and men's fashion magazines; I actually like watching TV...and I'm good with admitting that. I'm a cook, a BBQ making Bad Ass, a musician, a travel junkie, a fledgling writer, a fashion and design enthusiast and a mediocre salt water fisherman. Lastly, professionally, I am an executive with a Fortune 500 company.
My blog is a collection of life stories, advice, musings, rants and one guy's twisted perspective on any number of random subjects. It is essentially the organized thoughts of an 40+ over-thinker. I write from a guy's point of view (obviously) and it seems to resonate best with my peers, men in their 30's through 50's, (also obviously). This blog is intended to be a form of personal expression, a journal and a means to inspire and be inspired. I hope you enjoy your time here.

This week, I finally got around to fixing up the light fixtures in our den. There are two identical wood covers, one on each side of the room. This is what they used to look like:
So, I deconstructed them and primed and painted the wood part white. And I sprayed the little metal caps white, too.
Here is one reconstructed on the ceiling:
While it looks much nicer with the light turned off, as soon as the light comes on behind it, the wood is in the shadow again and looks like a dull gray color. Boo. I'm tempted to leave the cover off completely… it was soooo bright in there without it, but I kept looking up at the bare bulbs. It wouldn't be too long before I burn out my retinas with that behavior.
So… what kind of light fixtures look good on the ceiling? And let out a lot of light? I'm thinking some kind of serious fluorescent deal for over my work table and maybe a chandelier-esque thing for the other side of the den. What do you think?

Happy summer greetings from UNALIGNED! We are having a lot of feelings right now. We want to talk about them.
The second half of Lost Girl Season 5 starts on September 6! We are as happy as a succubus about to have a three-way!
But after it's over, there's no more Lost Girl. Ever.
Anyway, whaddyagonnado. We want to celebrate this show which has so many cool chicks (and dudes) and put on a brave face despite the impending end of the season, so we have decided to eat our feelings. But since it's summer and we ate our body weight in poutine last week, this latest recipe is high in fiber, Vitamin C, and contains healthy fats.
It's fast, easy and delicious. (Insert joke about fast, easy and delicious women here. (Insert joke about the word "insert" here. (Insert three closed parentheses after this sentence.)))
- 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 stalk celery, diced
- 1 green onion, sliced and diced
- juice of half a lemon (or 1-2 TBSP bottled)
- half a red bell pepper, diced
- 1-2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- curry powder to taste (start with 1/2 tsp, add more if you like more)
- pepper
- salt to taste
Dice, drain, rinse, and mix it up. Put it in the fridge and chill out. Easy as succubus pie.
Also, add whatever else you have handy that sounds delicious, substitute stuff, it ain't no thang. Chop up a carrot, throw in some cilantro, maybe some tahini or plain yogurt, whatever floats your boat.
Then EAT IT!

Applying for Welfare
Many people tend to feel embarrassed when they apply for social services; however, the system was set up with intent of providing benefits to impoverished Americans. This is done by using several different governmental programs such as Food Stamps, Medicaid, HUD homes programs and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). When you hear politicians and the public speaking of welfare it is normally referring to Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, or TANF, this was formerly called AFDC (Aid to Families with Dependent Children) and it is a cash assistance setup that is usually directed towards single parents. This type of program is actually a fairly small portion of the entire welfare program. In order to take advantage of these programs you must meet the resource and income limitations. The Food Stamp and HUD programs receive federal funds, while the rest use both state and federal funds.
Under the TANF program federal government gives money to states by way of block grants which allows states to have more authority and flexibility when trying to administer welfare programs. This program represents a changed version of the purpose of welfare. Instead of long- term program assistance, welfare is considered a short-term program that will help individuals become better able to support themselves. Meaning the head of the household is required to be working within 2 years of starting to receive benefits, and the families have an imposed limit of no more than 5 years of cash assistance.
No matter which way welfare assistance is set up, there has always been a tendency for the general public to view those that apply for welfare in a negative light. To fully understand the process of applying for welfare you need to know the general information provided through the government and each state has their own set of requirements that must be met as well. So, familiarize yourself with the basics and then contact the state where you reside to see what specifics may be required before applying for welfare.
For example, to be eligible for Medicaid you do not have to be eligible for welfare as well. Nor can the state limit eligibility for Medicaid to families that are already receiving or entitled to receive TANF benefits. Individual states are required to provide Medicaid to any family that has the following:
- Dependent child that lives with them
- Have the same resources and income that allowed them to be qualified for AFDC; c. certain types of deprivation requirements (such as an absent parent)
All states are required to provide comparable standards, meaning that all regulations have to be the same for all recipients and applicants that apply for welfare. States must also apply the same policies throughout all of the states subdivisions, in short that means that all of a states regulations and rules are required to be the same for the entire state.
If you have access to the Internet then it is suggested that you visit your states department of health and human services website. There you will be able to find all the forms you will need to complete the application process for your state and information on how to fill out the forms. As well as any other information you will need to bring with you for an interview. If you do not have access to the Internet you can call your local human resources office and they will tell you where to get the forms, they may help you fill them out if necessary and make sure you understand the whole process and set up an interview. Many states also have a service that can pick you up and take you to the office if you do not have access to transportation, but these additonal services are not common.
Perhaps the most important thing to remember is, if you do not know then don't be afraid to ask. The people are there to help you and will not set out to embarrass you in any way so give them a chance to help. At 2nd Life, our goal is to make away as much of the obstacles to get your benefits as possible, simply click on your state and an animated tutorial can be viewed to explain the process and make things easier. Since creating these animated tutorials are labor intensive, there is a small fee to view them, we hope these tutorials simplify your experience and helps to get your benefits to you as quickly as possible.

When you start you own business, you feel invincible and nothing can get you down. Well do I have news for you….
It was a relaxing weekend, no serious drama's to report on or to rush out and fix. We decided to take it really calm and took a ride to the beach and really relaxed and had the fresh breeze blowing in our faces. I got home and decided to prepare the perfect meal to end off our week. A roast with vegetables very yummy….
Half an hour after the Sunday evening meal, it hit me. A monster of a headache, which left me feeling nauseous and stiff in my neck. I felt like I really wanted to crawl into a little ball and die. But those in the same boat as me know, that there is no time to feel like this. There is work to be done and I had already had the weekend off.
So Monday morning I dragged my butt out of bed and back to the office. It has been slow going, but I am finally back to where I should be, hence back to the blog. Not without several dramas along the way.
I am trying something new this week, I am teaching myself how to do graphics in Adobe's Illustrator.
So hopefully things will be smoother next week and there will be regular posts again about us and our prospects for our little venture.

These structures are not connected to the permanent foundations of a building and are typically not intended to be permanent installations, more often being used as a long-term temporary space solution.
Modular offices are used in areas such as in-plant offices or rooms within manufacturing facilities and warehouses, conference rooms, lunch or break rooms and shipping or receiving areas within a larger space. When used inside an existing larger space, the dimensions of the office need to be considered.
For modular offices being used as separate buildings, size does not play such an important role. Modular offices as part of building systems tend to come in standard shapes and sizes. Modular offices can be made of a number of different materials. For example, those offices intended to be exterior add-ons can be constructed of a durable metal such as steel.
For offices designed to separate interior space, the wall panels can be constructed of polyvinyl materials. Modular offices typical are made up of a base, a framing system and wall panels, which are adjusted according to location and need for sound proofing or insulation. The buildings provide quick and clean installation with minimum hassles.
Choosing to use pre engineered buildings instead of a conventional building method for constructing office will provide numerous benefits. This is the most cost-effective solution to the need for space as conventional building design and construction can be expensive. Permitting for modular buildings is often easier to obtain as they are not permanent structures.
Prefabricated building is growing in popularity and this is in large part due to the factor of reduced construction time. A prefab shelter can be designed, fabricated and put into place in a matter of weeks. The costs of construction are cut as there is less labor and less material required, and as the buildings are fabricated prior to arrival on site, there is less room for mistakes to be made that need to be fixed.
It is possible to have prefab buildings custom designed and built, however, the costs for meeting specifications may add a lot of money to the overall price of the operation. The modular office building may even include electrical and plumbing hookups, especially if it is intended as a more permanent installation than an office at a construction site for example.

Discovery channel will air its controversial programme Eaten Alive tonight in which film maker Paul Rosolie will be 'eaten alive' by a giant green anaconda for the popular show.
Before the premiere, the show garnered huge attention from fans and critics alike as fans feel that the entire procedure will bring immense pain to the wild creature of the Amazon swamps.
Rosolie, the 27-year-old film maker, has insisted that he is an animal lover and the anaconda swallowing him will not harm the jungle beast.
"We need the Amazon ecosystem. I've watched scientists work their whole lives to raise awareness, but deforestation continues, I was thinking of doing something that would grab people and force a spotlight on the area at this point, because it's kind of now or never," Rosolie told USA Today.
"She nailed me right in the face, and the last thing I remember was her mouth open wide, straight in my face, and everything went black. I went limp and let it constrict. All the while I was just thinking: 'Eat, eat, eat!'"
The infotainment channel, meanwhile, has defended itself and maintained that the programme, while entertaining the viewers, will not bring any pain to the snake.
Discovery also said that the programme intends to raise awareness of the importance of preserving the endangered Amazon River environment.
The film maker will wear a protective-crush proof suit before bathing in pigs blood in order to become the bait of the anaconda.
Eaten Alive will premiere this Sunday on 9pm ET on Discovery Channel.
