Robert Rau, Dynamic Video When I left my regular job to start my design services company, I needed to select software tools carefully because any schedule slip would show on our revenue stream right away. Although our first choice too quickly proved poor, we were much more fortunate the second time around when we selected DesignWorks.
We needed a schematic capture package that allowed us to streamline the concept to PC board process, and DesignWorks performed well. As we learned more about the depth of the internal scripting language, DesignWorks became the central data base for all product data from concept through production. Its strong database language coupled with its flexible attribute structure allowed us to provide high quality documentation that most of our clients had not seen before. Capilano continued to grow the product through the years, incorporating some of our suggestions, allowing higher levels of automation in a classically manual process of design transfer to production and materials departments of our clients.
Øivind Kirsebom, microDESIGN, Norway DesignWorks has been a major tool for my professional activity since 1985 (25th anniversary coming up). I operate as an independant electronics consultant, mainly doing Marine and Industrial instrumentation. In addition to the traditional Schematics for PCB design, I have also used DesignWorks to prepare Wiring Diagrams for product unit assembly. It has always been more convenient, stable and user friendly than the competition, primarely because it was originally introduced on the Mac. Capilano support has always been very responsive. I am happy to recommend this product, primarely because of its unequalled productivity.
Guy Hedrick, Musician/Designer/Founder Guytron Amplification LLC DesignWorks is an excellent program. I have used it for roughly 15 years without incident. It has been updated smoothly all along the way, and has never failed to do what it claims. Any time I actually have had a question, Neil's support has been top shelf all the way. DesignWorks made the transition from Paper to Screen very intuitive for me. I would recommended DesignWorks to anybody.

Cerritos Corporate Center Acquisition in the Electronic Media
Long Beach, CA, November 17th, 2009: The Abbey Company's recent Cerritos Corporate Center acquisition as reported by AOL Money News, Business Journals, CNBC, Forbes, Hoover's, MarketWatch, Reuters, Yahoo! Canada, as well as GlobeSt.com.
The Abbey Company Acquires 465,000 sq. ft.
Cerritos Corporate Center, Cerritos, CA
Long Beach, CA, November 17, 2009: The Abbey Company is pleased to announce its
acquisition of Cerritos Corporate Center, a 465,000 square foot commerce park consisting of seven
(7) multi-tenant office and industrial buildings located in Cerritos, California, in the heart of the Los
Angeles County industrial market. The property is located at 13810 � 13950 Cerritos Corporate Drive,
Cerritos, California and is currently 97% leased to eleven (11) tenants. This acquisition brings The
Abbey Company's owned and managed portfolio to fifty-five (55) commercial properties throughout
California, containing approximately 6,100,000 square feet.
This noteworthy acquisition is one of the largest industrial real estate purchases on record in Los
Angeles County for 2009. This institutional quality property significantly enhances The Abbey
Company's presence in Southern California and serves to further demonstrate The Abbey Company's
ongoing commitment to growth of its portfolio and fortifies its ongoing market penetration strategy.
The Seller was an institutional owner that privately marketed the property to a select list of prospective
buyers. After a brief due diligence period The Abbey Company completed this purchase on an "all cash"
basis without debt financing. Completing this transaction within the Seller's limited closing
timeframe is testimony to The Abbey Company's financial ability and underwriting knowledge resulting
from having owned, operated, and leased commercial projects in the area since 1990.
Kurt Kaufman, Director of Acquisitions at The Abbey Company, handled the acquisition process for
the buyer. Kurt stated 'Our well-seasoned Acquisitions Team constantly scours the market to locate
and acquire "best of class" opportunities like this particular property investment. Industrial properties in
the mid-county area historically exhibit high occupancy rates due to its close proximity to the ports,
freeway systems and rail arteries. Buying into Southern California's industrial market, which is the
largest and most attractive in the United States, shows our belief in the long-term performance of welllocated
in-fill commercial and industrial real estate.'
In commenting on why The Abbey Company was selected by the institutional seller, Mr. Kaufman
noted that 'Our ability to close quickly without a financing contingency, and our in-house management
and leasing capabilities, gave us a competitive advantage in today's commercial real estate
environment.' He additionally noted that this acquisition is an example of the type of product Abbey's
acquisition program targets as the firm retains the ability to acquire substantially more assets on an
"all-cash" basis. The company seeks to acquire well-located office, industrial, and retail properties
throughout California.

The Abbey Company Successfully Negotiates Sale of 60,000 Square Foot Facility at Auburn Airport Business Park, Auburn, CA
Auburn CA, June 10, 2009: The Abbey Company announced the closing of the sale of a 60,000 square foot freestanding flex building at the Auburn Airport Business Park to Miltenyi Biotec, a company headquartered in Germany that specializes in cell biology, immunology, regenerative medicine, and molecular biology. While discussing the recent transaction, Kurt Hysen, the Northern California / Sacramento Regional Asset Manager for The Abbey Company, commented, "We are pleased to welcome a highly respected member of the biotech industry to the Auburn Airport Business Park. The park's employee friendly design, existing infrastructure, and the recent renovation of the business park by The Abbey Company played an integral role in Miltenyi Biotec's selection process."
The Auburn Airport Business Park is ideally located northeast of Sacramento between Interstate 80 and State Highway 50 in the City of Auburn. Situated in the middle of California's historic gold country, and surrounded by the scenic Sierra Nevada Mountains, the business park consists of four freestanding flex/tech/R&D buildings comprising a total of 260,000 square feet. With the sale of 2303 Lindbergh Street to Miltenyi, there are currently three buildings available for sale or lease. When asked about the opportunities at the park, Zack Cheney, the Leasing Manager for The Abbey Company said "This business park presents a unique opportunity for larger companies to benefit from exceptional facilities at economic terms substantially better than available in the Silicon Valley and Bay Area, while employees benefit from the improved lifestyle and serenity of the Sierras."
The Abbey Company is a real estate investment and management company, with headquarters in Long Beach, CA, that acquires and operates multi-tenant office, industrial, and retail properties. The company has a portfolio of 5.5 million square feet of commercial property that it owns and manages in Southern California, with regional offices in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and San Diego Counties, and in Northern California with a regional office in Sacramento.
City Parkway Acquisition in the Electronic Media
Long Beach, CA, June 4th, 2009: The Abbey Company's recent City Parkway acquisition as reported by Commercial Property News, Reuters, Forbes, MSN Money, as well as AOL money & finance.
The Abbey Company Completes Acquisition of
City Parkway Office Buildings, Orange, CA
Long Beach, CA, June 2, 2009: The Abbey Company is pleased to announce its latest commercial property portfolio addition with the purchase of City Parkway. Acquired from Maguire Properties, it is one of the largest real estate purchases on record in Orange County since September 2008. This central Orange County office complex enhances The Abbey Company's holdings, which now consists of eight properties in Orange County including the addition of City Parkway. The three-building, 460,000 square foot City Parkway Office Complex consists of twin 10-story glass office buildings and a four–story office building in an attractive office campus located at 500-600 City Parkway West, Orange, California.
The Abbey Company completed the "all-cash" purchase after a short due diligence period during which time Abbey also completed the purchase of the property's underlying mortgage loan from the property lender. Abbey was able to complete the quick-close transaction due to its local market knowledge, having owned the adjacent Cityview Plaza office property since 1993. Also, Thomas Clarke, The Abbey Management Company's EVP and chief operating officer, had a prior involvement with the property while he worked for previous owners Spieker Properties and Equity Office Properties.
In discussing this newest acquisition, Tom Clarke comments, '…our business plan is to establish an on-site management and leasing office, aggressively market the property to prospective tenants, and implement operating efficiencies at the property consistent with The Abbey Company's "hands-on" operations / leasing strategy'. Abbey has established a substantial budget for capital improvements and leasing expenses for the property, including Class A tenant improvements and tenant broker incentives, to make the property appealing to major tenants in the market. This very strategy is what has made The Abbey Company an emerging leader in the California real estate market.
Kurt Kaufman, Director of Acquisitions at The Abbey Company states 'we believe this was the appropriate time to acquire an asset like City Parkway, which prior to mid-2008 had historically exhibited high occupancy rates due to it's ideal central Orange County location, at a price substantially below replacement cost due to the current real estate market disruption. Our ability to close quickly and without a financing contingency gives us a significant competitive advantage in today's commercial real estate environment'. Mr. Kaufman additionally noted that this acquisition is the opening salvo of Abbey's acquisition program over the next two years as the firm retains the ability to acquire substantially more assets throughout California on an "all-cash" basis.

The purpose of EAI (Enterprise Application Integration) is the interoperability and organization of the flow of information between heterogeneous applications, i.e. ensure communcation between the different applications making up the information system of the company, even those of clients, partners, or suppliers.
An EAI project therefore involves, in the first place, implementing an architecture under which the different applications communicate with each other. This therefore involves the development of connectors (middleware) which make it possible to interface applications by using different communication protocoles (generally proprietary).
However, the EAI projet goes beyond interoperability between the applications: it makes it possible to define a workflow between the applications and therefore represents an alternative to ERP with a more modular approach.
Nonethless, EAI still has the limits related with the rigidity of the legacy, since it is necessary to modify the middleware in the case of significant changes of the applications. Web services

Leaving Low Earth OrbitPosted: December 19, 2018 Filed under: Egypt, Immigration, Tales of Immigration Leave a comment
On the sunny afternoon of December 21 1968 an orange sailed through the open glass windows in a Heliopolis apartment in Cairo. The projectile bounced once on the floor of the boys room before it came to a halt under a photograph of the family. Adults blamed the entire episode on wayward boys in the neighborhood. But the older boy had an unlikely explanation which he kept to himself. He imagined that the orange was tossed his way by Jim Lovell, the second in command of Apollo 8, and a man he came to idolize for no particular reason. The vessel had just been launched in far away Florida, but the boy had kept close track of the entire mission even before launch. Two decades later, after a lecture by Lovell, the grown man wanted to introduce himself and mention the orange, but did not, to his regret.
The race to the moon, and the bets placed on the eventual first arrival, occupied minds throughout the 1960s, and whether one favored the United States or the Soviet Union depended largely on the person's political orientation. Shortly after the assassination of Martin Luther King, when Egyptian television played a short snippet of one of his sermons, the boy's favors swung toward the Americans. He watched with some trepidation as a squat and ungainly Soviet tub, dubbed Zond 6, carrying a turtle and a number of smaller critters orbited the moon in an eccentric manner during the latter part of November 1968, before skipping back to earth and crashing in the wilds of Kazakhstan, killing all animals on board, small and smaller. But his excitement soared as the closing act of 1968 belonged to the spectacular vessel called Apollo 8, launched from America and piloted by Americans. The closing weeks of 1968 were notable in Egypt by the fact that the state media gave prominent play to Apollo 8. It was a significant departure from its hereto skewed reporting which hailed every Soviet achievement and downplayed every American one. There were daily reports of the accomplishments of Apollo 8, and on the day after its safe arrival back on earth, December 28 1968, the stations promised a full half hour documentary on Apollo 8. For the passionate follower of the space program the documentary seemed a suitable present on his birthday. He fidgeted all day waiting for it. His birthday fell awkwardly during a fast, making the idea of a cake out of the question; instead it was always celebrated with some variation of fruits or vegetarian delicacy topped with a single candle. On this day he had no wish to linger on a celebration and was eager to rush to the TV and watch the documentary which delivered everything it promised and more.
What the documentary promised were photographs of the earth and the moon and footage of the men inside their capsule and of the heavenly bodies outside it. There were certainly those, in full black and white graininess. The documentary also delivered more than it promised, albeit in an intangible form. There was the awe imprinted on the young viewer of the vastness of the distance between the earth and the moon, and the comparatively insignificant size of the vessel. Apollo 8 traveled more than 100 times farther than Columbus, in a vessel smaller than his and with no possibility of patching up leaks while sailing toward its destination. Jim Lovell's error of wiping out the computer memory and reorienting the vessel by the stars was a throwback to an earlier era of technology, but also an affirmation of the indispensable place of craft in all journeys of discovery. The boy found the diagrams and illustrations of the earth, moon and the vessel entirely unsatisfying, due to their truncated perspective. Instead, and only to comprehend the scale of the enterprise, he placed the orange which he had kept from days earlier on one end of the long hallway in the apartment, and on the other end he placed a playing marble. He tweaked the distances to approximate that between the earth and the moon. He could not find a satisfying stand-in for Apollo. Even an ant would have been too big, and insufficiently majestic. He imagined Apollo, too tiny to see on his reconstruction, racing toward the moon, carrying within it even smaller creatures. These creatures were his heroes. His sunday school teacher had tried to convince him, mostly in vain, of the existence of God based on the vastness and the unlikeliness of the universe. But in the hallway of his home he came to comprehend the true wonder of human existence, the inexplicable ability of tiny creatures to venture to places utterly inhospitable to their weak forms.
The birthday documentary began to pull America into view. Immigration was a near certainty now, and only a matter of months away. There was the excitement of tunneling out of Egypt, of whose failures he had become tired and ashamed. But America had remained elusive in spite of his diligent research. He memorized the names of all 50 states and their capitals. He collected road maps of the country and many of the bigger cities. He listened to the vinyl discs that came from America by couriers. He had followed the presidential campaign, and the mysterious Electoral College. He imagined that forsaking his tribe would be easy, but what American tribe would he belong to? Apollo 8 mission control offered a tentative answer. The tribe of men who seemed able to do complex things without any seeming effort. They spoke in acronyms with hushed and even tones, whether the matter at hand was routine or catastrophic. Their uniform of short-sleeved shirts, thin ties and half-rimmed glasses signaled a welcome otherness. Neither birth nor kinship guaranteed membership in that tribe; the price of belonging was facility with arcane knowledge. He listened carefully to their clipped chatter. They reduced the terrifying act of leaving earth's embrace into a comfortable three letter acronym, TLI. Trans Lunar Injection. This was quite a departure from the world he had known so far, where daily acts of stupidity were celebrated with great fanfare. Three men were commanded to escape their home planet into the vastness of space with a single understated sentence, "Apollo 8. You are Go for TLI. Over". A reporter's comment, heard faintly in the background, provided a succinct summary of the event. Leaving low earth orbit. Low Earth Orbit, LEO. That phrase stuck with the boy as a metaphor for all that was about to happen to him. It captured in equal measures the excitement and fear of leaving home. In his hallway construction immigration was but a small move, from one section of the orange to another. But he saw it as something closer to the first ever human departure from earth's influence. Immigration would happen weeks after Apollo 11, and it would start with a walk down the hallway from the bedroom to the foyer; from the orange to the marble. While a few family members said their goodbyes in the early morning light, he imagined himself leaving low earth orbit. America neither kept the promises of 1969, nor disappointed in a larger sense. In the tumult of the 1970s, many radicals attacked the space program, and even science itself. He took no effort to argue with them, feeling that they are simply bound to the gravitational pull they had never questioned. The country as a whole abandoned the promises of the Apollo program, confining humans to low earth orbit, but spectacular machines made further journeys; the Voyager twins, and the Mars expeditions did not send humans out of earth orbit, only the fruits of their mental labors. While the language of science, and the space program, crept into his daily expressions, he tried to keep LEO private. Once, while castigating one of his graduate students for aiming too low, he demanded "you really needed to leave low earth orbit on this issue". The student, just a few years younger, was puzzled by the expression but adopted it anyway. Soon enough it was common around his lab. LEO was a synonym for any effort deemed lacking in imagination, poorly executed or simply boring. A better-funded competing group across the country was described as a "a bunch of LEOs". He regretted the public use of what had been his private phrase. But the idea of leaving low earth orbit remained as a metaphor for any worthwhile venture; leaving the comfortable and combating the unknown before returning to the familiar. He counted himself lucky in a number of ways, but mostly in having the freedom to occasionally leave the familiar and experience the anxiety of the unknown. In escaping low earth orbit he would find delight in not belonging and redemption in transgressing without fanfare. He would never find comfort in the assurances of religion or the musings of philosophers. For him life was too incomprehensible and random. It made sense solely within its context and only by its ever-shifting rules. The trepidation of its inevitable waning made bearable by the thought of it as one exciting preparation for a final departure from low earth orbit.

Emily Ratajkowski tweets about Cork secondary school
Emily Ratajkowski's strong links to Cork were evident again last night.
She tweeted to congratulate Colaiste Pobail Bheanntrai in Bantry after they won the All-Ireland Senior Boys Basketball Championship, beatIing O'Carolan College by 39-32.
Congratulations Colaiste Pobail Bheanntrai - All Ireland champions!— Emily Ratajkowski (@emrata) March 13, 2018
The actress never shies away from her Irish roots and refers to Cork as her 'home away from home'.
Ratajkowski's parents have a house outside Bantry in Cork, where she spent many summers while growing up.
During a Late Late Show appearance in 2014, she said that although she doesn't speak Irish, she has one word "ciúnas" or silence, taught to her by one of her friends who was studying Irish.
"She says that to me because I talk too much," she said.
Bualadh bos, Emily.

Country Cuisine – Lafayette, LA = C+ Rated Boudin
Location: 709 North University Ave. Lafayette, LA 70506-1366
Ambiance: This is a small restaurant serving "authentic Creole cuisine" and BBQ. Place your order and wait for your number to be called then pay and enjoy. Each day brings a new special such as pork roast, rib tip stew, fried pork chops, or smothered cabbage. Lots of yummy foods here.
Cost: $1.65 per link (size varies)
Presentation: Placed in a large Styrofoam "clamshell" and rung up at the register.
Casing: Loose and rubbery. Quite chewy.
Rice/Meat Ratio: More meat than rice.
Texture: The texture is definitely "wet" and some might say soggy. The filling is not tightly packed in the casing and it has the consistency of loose rice-dressing. Bits of pork are intermingled with equal amounts of rice, well cooked green onion, and a mixture of spices. Each bite will fall apart in your mouth. Unfortunately there were several bits of "foreign matter" located amongst the filling.
Spices: Medium
Overall Taste: A highly flavor link of boudin that is warm and satisfying. It might be a bit too greasy for some, but all that juice is full of flavor.
Comments: The link's fattiness was a little off-putting, but it is a good link of boudin. Since you pay-by-the-link instead of by-the-pound, the size of your link may vary. Of course, in addition to the boudin you should try any one of their specialties or seafood plates. It is a busy kitchen and the staff behind the counter work hard to get the food out to all their customers at this popular lunch stop. They open at 10:00 AM, so do not plan on showing up early. Also: Expect a line and understand that this is not "fast food." Even the boudin isn't fast!

Facebook gets closer to 1 billion users, reports 955 million as of June 30th
Facebook has delivered its first earnings report as a publicly traded company, and it had some big news to share with it as well.
The social network is coming closer to the one billion user mark, which is an incredibly massive milestone for the company. It's currently at 955M as of June 30th. It currently boasts 543M mobile users.
Here's a full breakdown:
– Monthly active users (MAUs) were 955 million as of June 30, 2012, an increase of 29% year-over-year.
– Daily active users (DAUs) were 552 million on average for June 2012, an increase of 32% year-over-year.
– Mobile MAUs were 543 million as of June 30, 2012, an increase of 67% year-over-year.

If exams are frustrating, the day of the results can get even more exasperating. Children shuffle in through the door wishing that the parent is not home, planning elaborate exit strategies and escape plans, and basically hoping that the day gets over really soon. Rather than mulling over the results, they are preoccupied with containing the disaster. If an average student scores a mark less than the last time, he is in trouble. If, God forbid, an ace student slips, he is doomed.
I am no different. I haven't achieved Nirvana yet and remain firmly entrenched in the world. I fear for their future. I fear the fierce competition ahead. So when the door opens and they drag their bags in, I know. The result wasn't bad but it wasn't top notch either. Thankfully, my fears remain hidden, pushed into dark corners by the more sensible (or perhaps the mad) mum in me. How do we deal with disappointments? Simply by deep breathing and keeping these few points in mind:
The moment you get exasperated and express that you are doing so much for the child and yet he scores so little, the battle is lost.
1. I consciously avoid comparison with others.
The older one announced that he had scored four marks less than the highest score. He was promptly corrected. I never ask for highest scores. The idea has been and always will be to compete with oneself, to evaluate the performance as objectively as possible.
2. Do not accuse, belittle, or borrow dialogues from 1970's Bollywood movies.
The moment you get exasperated and express that you are doing so much for the child and yet he scores so little, the battle is lost. He will have his defences up and will be busy justifying his scores rather than looking at the reasons behind the poor show.
Rather than saying that you are disappointed in her for scoring less, ask the child how she feels about scores and whether she is satisfied.
3. Step back
Everything doesn't warrant an immediate reaction. Step back. Contain the frustration, fear, anger or any other negativity bubbling up inside you. Ask yourself the purpose of these exams. Are they a ticket to a dream life? Or merely an assessment of the child's learning and hard work? How can you help the child change?
We can help them shape their future. Then why cry ourselves hoarse over something that has already been done?
4. Ask, not tell.
Rather than saying that you are disappointed in her for scoring less, ask the child how she feels about scores and whether she is satisfied. If the discussion starts on a neutral non-threatening ground, chances are the child will introspect rather than just 'say the right things.'
5. Reorganise and strategise
Now that we have realised that something needs to be done, sit with the child and let her figure out her core strengths and weaknesses. We just need to help them organise their thoughts. Do not grab a paper and a pen and make a schedule for them. That simply shows that you have lost faith in them and isn't the greatest morale booster. Let them figure out instead. Once they have made a strategy or a schedule, our job is to make sure they honour their word. We usually have a deal — work your backside off during the week, end up prepared for the Monday test by Friday, and the weekend is yours. Falter and the plan for a movie, a lunch, or a trip to the bookstore, stands compromised. Yes, positive reaction doesn't imply complete lack of discipline. The boys get ample time to figure out their end of the bargain and they know they are expected to honour their word once they have figured out their strategy.
If we let it all go unnoticed in a bid to create a stress-free environment, that could create problems of its own. Some amount of stress is essential for getting us to work, to stretch ourselves.
6. Give incentives but do not peg every morsel of food to the outcome.
It is all right to lure them in but there are a few rules. Do not promise the world. Let the incentive be tied to the goal. Do not use cash. Experiences are better incentives. Do not tie everything the child needs or wants to an outcome. Doing so would lead to higher frustration and ultimate disregard for the incentives. It is essential to figure out appropriate incentives, and not put everything up for barter.
Exams can either be seen as a hurdle or an opportunity to learn. We can let the pressure get to us but that will not help the child. If on the other hand, we let it all go unnoticed in a bid to create a stress-free environment, that could create problems of its own. Some amount of stress is essential for getting us to work, to stretch ourselves. They have scored whatever they had to. The ball is now in our court. We can either teach them to deal with setbacks productively, or get them to learn that mistakes can never be corrected. The former is the way forward and the latter can lead to unfathomable dark waters. The choice is not theirs. It is ours.

Birthday: February 14, 1986
Country: Finland
Back after few years of break as i had a baby. Now the baby is not a baby anymore, so i have more time to continue a lovely hobby called swapping :)
Im 32 year old girl from Finland.
I Love colours, all colours really.. also black and white together, im easy to please :D
I love music. Simple as that, just listening but also going to see live bands, talking about it, sing along (even it may sound horrible), reading books, anything and everything really.
Anything handmade, I appreciate the time and effort people put in anything they make themselves.
Birds, Garden birds, birds of prey, owls, symbolic birds. I just love them :)
Animals in general. I am always willing to stand up for animal rights, and my big dream is to one day have a big enough place to have as an animal retirement home.
My favourite flower is poppy, and i love postcards, pictures, paper, stationary with poppies on :)
anything with a peace sign on. It's hard to specify it much as i sort of collect ANYTHING with peace sign on :D
guitars (pictures, stickers, picks)
rock'n'roll theme
washi tape
stars, moon and the sun. Galaxy
50's gangster style, old cars
Mail art
DISLIKES ( i will update this over time) and also it's sort of a guide on things i'm not too keen on, even tho im generally happy to receive mail.
hello kitty,
religious stuff.
No tea please - i don't like tea. Coffee and hot chocolate is ok!
I love mainly rock and punk, but also like some heavymetal, country and pop.

I love doing papercrafts.I love making cards, mail art and envelopes. So i would like to swap anything to do with papercrafts! Art Journalling, smash booking, scrapbooking. I love all of that.
I use planner an bullet journal daily, so very interested in swapping supplies :)
I love art journals and been working on one a lot lately. Also any kind of mail art is nearly becoming an obsession to me :) I'm always so proud picking up my mail and seeing the beautiful envelopes among the plain bills and boring stuff.
That 1 rating is not right, that person rated me nearly 3 years after the swap, without any previous contact. After asking her why, she replied: "So sorry about that that was an accident....I didn't mean to rate anyone a one...was trying to check mark no ratings at this time. I'm not trying to get on anyone's bad side or jeopardize anyone's profile just working on getting my swaps rectified........" I have contacted swapbot admin but haven't had any reply yet.
I do take swapping seriously and will send everything on time and make an effort so who ever gets a swap from me would be happy with it!
I mark my swaps as sent when i drop them in the post office or postbox, so if it's in the evening, the stamp date won't be until the next day or if it's a bank holiday, the next working day :)
I don't flake, if i have an issue, i will send an pm, and let my partners know.
I do fairly many tags, and always send mine. I hope that people who sign for the tag games, would keep their end of the deal as well, even there's no rating system.
I am generally quite happy to receive anything in the mail, but what would make me that bit happier would be these things :)
*50's STYLE
Anything by/with/on my favourite bands posters, stickers, articles.. anything really
PLAYING CARDS - I'd love some random playing cards to complete a deck with all different ones. so if you have any spare, would be very happy to receive them. Also have lots to trade!!
Band stickers or advertising vinyl stickers, any kind really would be much appreciated!
Advertisement posters or postcards. Some cool/interesting magazine ads as well, but mainly posters and posrcards
Also i like stickers with single words/quotes
Planner stickers, embellishments and anything to use for decorating my planner :)
Airmail stickers from different countries (the free ones)!!
Washi tape - samples are more than fine and appreciated
anything vintage or vintage looking to put on my mail art or journals i do
Anything with a peace sign on - this could be paper, keyring, fabric, stickers.... anything really with peace sign or word, and i will like it!
Anything with birds on - love love love birds
any smashbooking supplies or and journalling supplies
interesting/colorful images/ magazine cutouts, magazine or newspaper pages
I don't have allergies, and like mos of chocolates, and sweets. I would love to also try some spice mixes,from different countries.
I don't ask you to spend a fortune on my swap, lot of things i like/wish for are stuff you might already keep in your stash. I don't mind seconhand or used stuff, but no broken items please :)
I like doing private swaps!! I could send souvenirs, ephemera or candy/food items from Finland, or anything to do with papercrafts/stamping/stationary.Or maybe you like profile based/surprise swaps`?
Please PM me if you would like a private swap!!
And sadly after doing some private swaps, without actually making them to proper swaps and being flaked on, i will from now on do even the smallest trades through a set up swap, so the ratings are available.
I am getting SO into collecting postcards nowdays :) I have a small but slowly growing collection and now i am on the lookout for new ones!
The themes i like the most are:
Black and white
Flowers (poppies especially)
Mail/postal theme
50's style
American (route 66, diners, gas stations etc)
Weird/quirky ones - more weird - more better
Colorful ones
Pin up
Transport (cars/planes/boats/motorbikes)
And lot of other themes as well.. i prefer no city/town views only.. if its something that tells something more about your city/town it's fine :)
Sadly i have to add this section to my profile too.
@runnerbean84 flaked on this swap - Kindly and amazingly angeled by the host @joyceann888 and an amazing swapper @SFreer

In each hour-long episode of Beer America we'll introduce one of the craft breweries that will be competing at the Great American Beer Festival in September 2012. These breweries will come in all shapes and sizes and from different regions across the United States. We'll explore the history behind each brewery and introduce the unique and outrageous characters that make up their brew crew. Each region of the country is unique, and because of that, their stories and the beer styles they create are vastly different. We'll see how these breweries got started, hear about their one of a kind specialty beers and highlight the cool ways they contributing to the growth of the communities they live in.

The Vauxhall Vivaro ticks all the boxes for commercial vehicle drivers – Its comes in a range of styles and different door styles, which may not sound like a lot, but speaking from experience, dropping off furniture is much different than say, driving wedding cakes about the place. Ok, so I may have made that last bit up but I'm working off a pretty decent hunch.
British Transport Police Vauxhall Vivaro Cage Van :
The Vivaro has twin rear doors and can be swung clear to 165 degrees and locked in place at 90 degrees to provide safe and convenient loading, even where space is restricted meaning you wont get clobbered by a stealth door whilst you're busy wrestling with a wardrobe. There is also the option of 250 degree opening rear doors which allows the driver to reverse right up to a door way for easier access.
British Transport Police Vauxhall Vivaro Unmarked Dog Unit :
There is also the one-metre sliding side access door that comes as standard on the near side of the van. The off side sliding door is also available at an extra cost.
Because of the size of the Vivaro, it's a big old girl, you'll have plenty of space to slap your snazzy corporate logo on both sides and the back meaning that passersby wont have to squint to see the contact details for 'Wok this Way deliveries' in its hot magenta sign writing.
Vauxhall Vivaro Curse of the Sky TV Van :
The Vivaro comes with a choice of 3 engines, the 2.0 CDTi with 90 BHP; the 2.0 CDTi with 115 BHP or the 2.5 CDTi with 146 BHP, so not matter what you plan to use your van for, there should be the engine to suit you.
The Vivaro comes in four different body styles; there is the sportive; double cab; sportive double cab and the conversion.
The Sportive combines driver comfort with a sport exterior style. The unique specification includes a security alarm and a range of metallic or pearlescent paints at no extra cost. On the move, the Sportive gives you a choice of two highly efficient common rail turbo diesel engines, the 2.0 CDTi 115 BHP and the 2.5 CDTi 146 BHP – both are known for their flexibility when driving around town and the effortless performance on the motorway.
The Double-Cab provides practicality and comfort and is available with a standard roof in short and long wheelbase versions. All double cab models feature a contoured rear bench seat for three passengers – all of which have height adjustable head restraints, plus lap and diagonal seatbelts. There is two sliding side access door that ensure easy passenger access, while the high – strength ABS plastic bulkhead on all versions has an integral window for increased visibility.
The Sportive Double Cab combines all the Double Cab qualities with unique styling accents and a host of added comfort features. It also brings an added visual appeal to the double cab formula, which has more than proved its worth. It has a wide range of uses including both business and recreational activities and is also available in a choice of short and long wheelbase models, with payloads up to 1111kg and a choice of either the 2.0 CDTi 16v (115 BHP) or the 2.5 CDTi 16v (146 BHP) common rail turbo diesel engines.
Vauxhall Vivaro passing thru :
The Vauxhall Conversions is a variety of different Vivaro models tailored to meet specific needs. The Vivaro dropside has an uninterrupted 5.6 square metre of load area and lightweight anodised aluminium dropsides and tailboard. It also sports several under floor storage compartments providing 920 litres of easily accessible load space.
The Vivaro Combi is perfectly equipped for upmarket courtesy and business transportation. The combi is available in SWB and LWB varieties and features a fold and stow facility on the third row of seats to easily and quickly transform the vehicle from a nine seater to a six seater with added luggage space.
Vauxhall Vivaro coca cola van :
Vauxhall Vivaro coca cola van back view :
There are also 3 different option packs available with the Vivaro which consist of the Visions Pack; the Electric Pack and the Smoker Pack. The Vision pack consists of:
– Rain – Sensitive windscreen wipers
– Automatic Lighting Control (ALC)
– Front fog lights
– Selective door locking
– Electric pack (this is standard on the Sportive model)
The Electric Pack:
– Electrically operated front windows
– Electrically adjustable/heated door mirrors
And the Smoker Pack:
– Cigar lighter and ashtray.
However, don't just take our word for it, a leading pump maker (SPP Pumps) has said that the Vivaro is the vehicle for them, even converting their 17-strong fleet to the Vauxhall model.
John Warren, Operations Manager for SPP, said "The primary job of our engineers is to fix pumps. Driving is incidental to that it's important that as they move between jobs they can do so in comfort and safety so that when they arrive at the customer they are less stressed and tired and able to work more effectively." Then going on to say "We chose the Vivaro because of its high level of specification to which we added the electric pack, which provides features such as electric windows, mirrors and remote locking. In addition we added air conditioning and an up-specification driver seat option that all make the vans more comfortable and easier to drive and use.
So you see, it isn't just me that thinks the Vivaro is top quality. A genuine fleet owner only uses the Vivaro range for his business. We think it's the best, he thinks it's the best… they must be doing something right at Vauxhall HQ.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Demond Wilson' tag.
I've been away.
Well actually…I still am.
And unfortunately, because of this, I haven't been able to offer the crew the support they so readily deserve with their hectic schedules (see: Waakao, Soul Food Fridays @ PS Underground, Shuffle Wednesdays @ Copa and anything that has HHHT on it).
So, as of today, after a 2 month hiatus, I'm back like Demond Wilson and ready to get it in.
First up how bout Jigga doin Diddy (ayo/no homo/pause/whatever they're sayin nowadays).
As you all know, Diddy has a thing for wanting to make hit records. And him being the intelligent business man that he is, knows that he can't write a rap for shit. Soooo….why not just spend that business man money and get a business….maaan! A Jay-Z & Diddy tune that apparently is ghostwritten for Diddy, but the scratch vocals have Jay referencing Jay, so I'm confused. Anyway, check it…
JAY-Z (or Diddy?) – MAYBE (snippet)
Next up, Camp Lo.
I love'em. Absolutely.
I hate the word Swagger. I really do.
Sure there are a few dope tunes fashioned around this word, but as an overall, its been misappropriated and as a result…teabag. HOWEVER, if anyone completely and wholeheartedly embodies the word swagger, it's the Geechie Gracious and Sonny Cheeba. No question.
New ish.
And finally (for MPFrees), the official return of Reflection Eternal. (YAAAAAAY!!!) I know this vid was released last month but I just got my hands on the CDQ MPFree so for you, I give you a double sided goodie like Motown 45's.
Reflection Eternal – Back Again
Quick question. Like Wax? Got an iPod touch? (this is ridiculous…hit up the video — sorry don't know how to embed Vimeo yet. Cap? Marcus?)
Soul Food Friday's tonight folk. Get'em Cappy.
Word up Taiwan.
Be well world.
See you soon.

I'm sure I'm not alone as a parent in wondering if we're teaching my son the correct things. Harry spends a lot of time with our parents (thank goodness for grandparent help!) and a day at the childminder every week, so it's easy to wonder if this is the best thing for him, but being self employed it's difficult to sign up for more paid childcare (the childminder is full anyway) as we have to pay whether work is busy or quiet.
Harry is a child that has to be certain of something before trying or doing it, that is unless it involves dangerous jumping over a sofa, or the like! At the moment we are introducing him to letters of the alphabet, and he hasn't learnt his 'abc' as much as 'hdm' (H for Harry, D for daddy, M for mummy.) There is a shelf in Harry's bedroom with lots of H's on it, my fave from The White Bulb that I spotted at one of my stockists, Our Handmade Collective. This simple feature in his room has obviously made a difference as he definitely knows when he sees H for Harry, and his favourite t-shirt is from Font not Found.
November/December is always quiet for me with interior design work, and I love my job but it's been pretty full on this year so have to admit it's a welcome break to be able to go for walks and get out with my family during the day and spend some time sewing and sketching in the evenings. One of the best ways for me to find inspiration is to get out of the house and take in the world around me and try to see things differently, and it seems Harry is the same. We picked him up from the childminder yesterday and went for a walk round our local area, via Middleton Woods. Although Harry was 2 years old by the time he started talking, which seemed later than his friends, he is making up for it and is very chatty at the moment. On our walk yesterday in amongst the chitter chatter we'd hear a loud 'H for Harry, H for Harry' and he'd spotted things that we hadn't even seen; the H on this sign was a good one but even better were the 'Hs' of the rugby posts. I hope he never stops seeing the world differently!
My son is always an inspiration, and after our 'H for Harry' walk yesterday I am going to pick up my alphabet illustrations again so I can hopefully print them and make a book for him, and potentially prints for my Etsy shop.
How did/do you help your children learn the alphabet, and to use their imagination?

Trouble is stirring in the owl world and Soren and the band set out yet again accompanied by the young king Coryn. Nyra has gotten ahold of the terrible half owl half crow Kreeth's book. And with terrible timing Coryn thinks he has the same hagsfiend blood running through his veins. Along with Nyra the great tree seems to have an eternal summer which affects all of the owls there, making them worship the ember. Their journey continues.
-Jordan F
While the King (and general good sense) is away, the idiots will play.
That ember didn't take long to affect them!
The parliament is WACKO! Other then that, pretty good. Not my favourite, though.
yoicks is right! but good book
Why do those owls have to go and worship that ember!!! And a prison? Those owls are yoicks!!

Getting going
To start understanding comma usage, let's look at comma splices. This is actually an incorrect use of a comma and an error that many people make all the time, whether they are first or second language speakers. For that reason, it is very important to know what it is and how it can be fixed.
The comma splice happens for two reasons:
- It seems to allow thoughts to flow.
- People do not understand the basics of what constitutes a sentence unit.A comma splice is a subcategory of sentence boundary errors. The comma splice occurs when
- There are two or more complete ideas in a single sentence
- Those complete ideas are joined together by only commas
Here are some complete sentences that could be joined together:
The airline went bankrupt. It no longer flies.
I bought a red dress. My sister bought a black dress.
He went to the store. He bought milk.
When the complete sentences above are joined incorrectly with only a comma, the comma splice error occurs. Take a look below:
The airline went bankrupt, it no longer flies. INCORRECT
I bought a red dress, my sister bought a black dress. INCORRECT
He went to the store, he bought milk. INCORRECT
Think about this for a day. Tomorrow the corrections

In the event you've been searching for it, you will have seen a whole lot of privacy policies change in the past few months. Many people use the Internet to entry and download music, movies and different works for their enjoyment and leisure. If using a directional Wifi antenna you need to transfer the antenna an inch or two at a time, making an entire circle, and refreshing the available network button every time.
I used to be lucky bcos the earlier made some configurations so am in a position to browse or surf with opera mini but the unlucky factor is that every time I need to download an utility it tells me "your haven't got an information plan contant your internet service provider for help" Please any assist for me, I shall be most grateful.
Flip Wi-Fi off and cellular data on, and verify to see if there is a distinction. You will also need to replace your SIM toolkit to entry extra services. In 2010, GreenBrowser was among the dozen browsers provided to Microsoft Windows customers in the European Economic Space.
We do all we can to make CenturyLink services perform completely on a regular basis, but sometimes issues are unavoidable. FreedomPop free service on At&t network is similar however for some purpose provides you lesser minutes, texts, and even knowledge! I can use only internet with Blackberry browser but i am unable to access yahoo messenger or Opera mini or Skype.
Pale Moon is stable and notably sooner than Firefox and the opposite browsers on XP. Wi-fi internet can often travel lengthy distances throughout the water and it can be enjoyable to see what you'll be able to pick up. I as soon as picked up a Carnival cruise ships wi-fi network, which required a price after all, about four miles away.
Plus, get alerts when new individuals or gadgets come on to your home WiFi network. The question I get asked time and time once more about folks considering joining Scentsy is "Can the business be marketed online solely?" The answer is YES! Scheduling and sources would be straight impacted by an incomplete WBS, which might then lead to damaging impacts on morale and the time constraint for the undertaking of opening the Internet store by Christmas.

Well, I don't have a con report for Midwest FurFest because most of my convention was just kind of a blur. But it was still a lot of fun in any case, and it was awesome getting to see a lot of really cool friends again, and being surprised by some folk who I had no idea were even going to be there!! :-P And I DID paint 2's finger nails pink, but he whined about it and only let me do them on Sunday, AFTER the con was already over, so nobody got to see them!! c.c At Anthrocon, you aren't going to escape me, bird! *shakes fist!* I also made it a point to make MFF more of a vacation con for myself this year, so I only really spent one day lounging around in the Artists Ally. I got a table with Tim Albee, and mostly just worked on badges, and already have all of my badge commissions finished. Just one MFF commission left to do as a Christmas present for a friend, and I still have some commissions left to finish from Anthrocon. Here's my full list, for the people who follow my LJ:
Avon Fox – half colored.
Laura Holmes – need to print and mail it out still.
Whyte Yote – need to print and mail it out.
Arkloyd Duwier – need to print and mail it out.
Blair Kanine – still just needs the last touch-ups!
Richard "Treerat" Rainbow commish – need your feedback on the rough sketch still!
Warphammer – I still need your feedback on the rough sketch I sent you, too. :-p
Emot – I still need you to send me your badge description, hon. :)
Adonis (Jaie) – need your badge description again, please.
Jungray – I know you said no rush, but if you could get a description to me soonish, that would be awesome. :)
Delphi Vinn – still need to start! I'm pretty sure I still have your old description.
Marc Crevan – I know you said no hurry as well, but if you could decide what you'd like me to draw and let me know asap, that would be very cool. :)
Gizmo Nine – need to start.
Skandranon – got a few roughs done, not started any good copies yet.
Kitch – still only half colored your icons. O.x Next commission you ask me for will be on the house, since you paid for this LJ, and I've been a rotten bum for taking forever to get your icons done. :-P
That should be everything. People I'm still waiting on, I NEED you guys to send me descriptions if you haven't yet, and I also need feedback from those I sent off sketches to!! Hate to rush you guys, but I'd like to have ALL left over commissions that I owe completely finished by February, so that I can clear up everything, and start on my own stuff again, including my new website, which I haven't had the time to even touch yet, and I paid for the domain name and web space in June. O.x And for the few of you who's pieces just need the last touch-ups/to be printed out, those will be done before Christmas. Sorry, I won't be taking any more commissions until Anthrocon '06 (and I'll have a Dealer's table this time!). I need a little break, before I become completely worn down. -.- Thank you VERY much to those of you who have been so very patient with me!! You guys are totally awesome! :)
And now for my Life's update.
After the convention, Tim came back to Toronto with me, and we spent the week after the con just hanging out and having fun. :) He's spent the past couple of months looking for some kind of studio job so that he can settle in one place, bring in a steady income, and continue working on the new Kaze Ghost Warrior projects. Plans for the full-length Kaze feature film may be set back for a bit so that Tim can try getting a second episode of the series out on DVD for Anthrocon '06. At least, that's what we're hoping for. But don't hold me to that. :-P
I spent the first part of this week painting Christmas themed cats on the windows of the vet clinic I work at with this neat stained glass effect paint. My boss wanted something festive for the holiday season, and so I volunteered to do some decorating. She was very happy with the end result. :) If I could get paid to do paintings on windows on a regular basis, that would be so cool. ^^ Also, one of our receptionists will be going in for surgery next week, and so I'll be doing extra hours at work, filling in for her while she's away this month. It's going to be a VERY busy month!
Our basement got flooded quite badly last week. My mom will sometimes do favors for the other people who do cat rescue. They had a male that was scheduled to be neutered, and so they asked if they could keep him in the upstairs bathroom of our house for the night and fast him before they took him to the vet's the next morning. My mom's done this for them in the past, so she said yes. Somehow this cat managed to get into our stand-up shower, turn on the water, pull down a towel that fell on the drain and blocked it, and then the entire bathroom flooded, and broke down into the basement, in the room right next to my room. O.o We've spent the past week working the wet vacuum, and have got heaters and fans blowing 24 hours a day. The place REEKS, and the large cracks in the ceiling make me nervous that the whole damn thing is going to collapse in the not-so-distant future. X.x And all this… the cause of one, small, black and white cat. I hate to think of what this is going to cost in damages… >.<
On a good note, my mom got a new job!!! Yay!! And I'm so going to go see the new Narnia movie tomorrow night after work. :) Anyone who would like to join me is welcome. ^^
That's all for now! *goes off to color some more*

Pinewood DerbyPinewood Derby is the Premier Cub Scout event. What is more fun than spending time with your Akela building your own small wooden racecar and then go see it race. Pinewood Derby a family friendly event that we run every spring so bring along the entire family. The cars are powered by gravity and run down a track. The pack has its own 3 lane track with custom timing system to record car times to .0001 second. Each car runs three races against scouts of their own age. Each car runs once in each lane with the winner being the car that runs all three lanes in the least amount of time. Races are held on the Campus of First Christian Church and generally last about 2 hours.
Pinewood Derby Workshop
Cars are handed out to each scout 6-8 weeks in advance of race day. Cars can be worked on at any time with your Akela. The pack will organize a build day a few weeks prior to the event to allow scouts to shape and make progress on their cars. This day is a great day to use the pack provided custom tools and get guidance on your car design. Akela's are strongly encouraged to help their sons but to allow then to do most of the work.
Equal Ground
All entries in the derby will start with the "Official Grand Prix Pinewood Derby Kit" which includes the body, 4 axles, and 4 wheels. All nine pieces MUST be used to build your car. Scouts are provided a car. Cubmaster Challenge cars can be purchased at the scout store of from the pack. Each racer will be provided a full set of rules that must be followed but in general the cars may not exceed 5 ounces in weight and must conform to certain size restrictions and specifications. Decorating the cars is up to the imagination of the scout. To keep things fair, no outside purchased axles or wheels are allowed. Use the parts in the kit. (Please don't worry about the small print specifically worded to exclude the leaders from some or all of the rules.)
Race Day Highlights
Pinewood Derby takes place over two days. The derby start the night before the race with car check-in. While the track is being built you can have our race officials inspect your car and make last minute fine tune adjustments. All cars are turned in this evening to allow the race brackets to be set ahead of time.
Race day brings four events together.
o Car judging by the scouts for the following categories.
"I built it myself", "Coolest", "Most Original" & "Craziest"
o Preliminary round racing
o Finals racing
o Cubmaster Challenge racing.
Cubmaster Challenge
It is easy for the Akela to take over building the scouts car. It is also hard for the younger or older sibling to not want to also race. For this we have the Cubmaster Challenge. This race is for Dad, Grandpa, brother, sister or anyone to build their own car to race. These cars are judged with the same criteria but sometimes through very blurry eyes. It is a race for fun but in the end the car that runs a single race the fastest takes the prize. Racers for this event must purchase their own car kit.
Prizes and Recognition
The Derby is about doing one's best and having fun. Not everyone wins but your attitude ensures you have fun. The boys vote on the car categories and we recognize each winner with special certificates. We also recognize the top three fastest car in each den as well as the top three fastest cars in the whole pack. In the tradition of the Indianapolis raceway, the pack-overall winners get to enjoy the traditional glass of (chocolate) milk and the kissing of the sacred racetrack bricks.
Printable Rules
Linked here are the rules from our most recent years. The basic rules generally do not change so if you have rules from a few years back you are good to go.

text: Michel Hazanavicius Defends French Position on Cultural Exception in U.S.-EU Trade Talks 6:37 AM PDT 6/18/2013 by Rhonda Richford FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Kevin Winter/Getty Images After winning the feature film prize, "The Artist's" Michel Hazanavicius said, "You never know how the vote will go, so yes, of course it was a surprise. I'm very proud because the recognition of your peers is something very special." Oscar-winning director says cinema should not be a bargaining chip. PARIS – Oscar-winning director Michel Hazanavicius defended the French position on the cultural exception in U.S.-EU trade talks after a defeated European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso called it "extremely reactionary." "This is indicative of those people who are not elected and govern Europe with great arrogance and conceit," said Hazanavicius in an interview with radio Europe1 on Tuesday. "This way of working alone without listening to anyone creates European dogma but no European policy." STORY: European Filmmakers Declare Victory in Culture Trade War The French position came to a head last week as the parameters for the talks were being set, with France threatening to use its veto on any rules that did not exclude cinema and audiovisual works from being put on the bargaining table. Barroso had supported a compromise measure, but a stubborn France refused to budge. France ultimately won the battle late Friday night, with Barroso's angry interview being published Monday morning. "It's part of this anti-globalization agenda," he said. "Some say they belong to the left, but in fact they are culturally extremely reactionary." Hazanavicius has long been an active supporter of the cultural exception, along with his wife, The Artist star Berenice Bejo, who traveled to Brussels last week to present Barroso with more than 7,000 petition signatures supporting the exception. Along with Hazanavicius, directors Michael Haneke (Amour), Thomas Vinterberg (The Hunt), Olivier Nakache (The Intouchables), Pedro Almodovar (Volver), Stephen Frears (The Queen), Mike Leigh (Vera Drake) and Ken Loach (The Angel's Share) signed on. During the Cannes Film Festival, both Harvey Weinstein and Steven Spielberg expressed support for the cultural exception as well. STORY: European Actors and Directors Set to Defend 'Cultural Exception' French cinema, which relies on a complex system of television and movie ticket taxes to heavily subsidize filmmakers through a film fund, would be "very weak" without the exception, Hazanavicius said. "It would be very difficult for us to be competitive in a deregulated market. Americans can make a movie for $100 million, then sell it to the whole world. For us, our market is France. If you remove the cultural exception, we will not die, but [we] will calcify, as happened in Italy," he added, cautioning against following the lead of the once-vibrant but now moribund film industry to the south. He also added that as entertainment moves online, ISPs that stream movies, VOD services or other entertainment content should be added to the tax system, another position supported by France that has received opposition from Europe. "Culture is one of the few industries that's fine. It creates social ties," he said. "We do not want to be a chip on the poker table."

Building Codes are There for Your Safety and They're the Law
If you have a home do-it-yourself project in mind, it's important to consider the law when planning your work. In the U.S., The National Electrical Code written by the NFPA (U.S. National Fire Protection Association) has guidelines that will help insure a safe and legal repair or update.
Examples of Code Restrictions for Home Improvement Projects
Receptacles and Switches
FP code limits the number of wires under each screw in a receptacle or switch to one. It appears safe to use two, but fires can occur when the second wire pops out from underneath the screw. Code also requires that outlets be placed every six feet along walls in most rooms, and every two feet along kitchen counters to accommodate the short safety cords on kitchen appliances.
Kitchen Electrical Requirements
All light fixtures must be grounded. In kitchens there must be a 15-amp lighting circuit, as well as a separate circuit for the dishwasher and refrigerator, and two 20-amp circuits for receptacles.
Foam Insulation
Fire Prevention Code requires a layer of drywall when installing foam insulation, even when it's being faced with other wall coverings like wood, bamboo, or faux coverings. This added layer delays the spread of fire and contains some of the acrid black smoke created when foam insulation burns. This is a safety precaution, but it's also the law.
Understanding Your Responsibilities When Repairing or Updating Your Home
Local and federal codes change, so it's important to do the necessary research before you begin a project. Restrictions are put in place to ensure your safety and the safety of your family and neighbors, and there are serious legal ramifications in ignoring them. Check for the appropriate offices in your area by visiting the National Building Code Library for all 50 states at firstsource code listings.
Should you have to hire a professional for any future projects, the presence of repairs or additions that are not up to code may result in expensive rework. In the event of a sale of your home, an inspection that reveals violations may result in your not being able to complete a sale until all necessary standards have been met.
Getting More Information On Building Codes
The best way to make sure that you are meeting current codes is to ask your local building inspector. Many published how-to leaflets and books available through your local building supply or home improvement outlet that will also help you make a safe and legal repair. Large jobs will require a permit, and your local building department will often be able to provide you with common code references if you ask.
Home repair and improvement can be satisfying, less expensive than hiring a professional, and quicker than placing your project on someone else's schedule. Before you start a project, however, keep in mind that the codes that exist are there for your protection. A little research will result in repairs that are safe and legal.
