Israel eases restrictions on Gaza in concession
JERUSALEM — In a major concession to Gaza's Hamas leaders Monday, Israel dropped its five-year ban on construction materials crossing into the territory and raised hopes there that rebuilding could begin following a damaging eight-day Israeli air campaign.
The easing of restrictions is an outgrowth of the cease-fire that ended the airstrikes and months of daily rocket fire from Gaza at Israel. Contacts mediated by Egypt to follow up the truce produced the concession, and Israel promised to keep easing the lives of Gaza's 1.6 million residents, as long as Israelis were no longer targeted by rocket fire by Gaza militants.

CHARLESTON, S.C. — At least Nebraska's opponent in the second round of the Charleston Classic will have tired legs.
The Huskers (3-1) will face Alabama-Birmingham, which lost Thursday afternoon to No. 19 New Mexico 97-94 in double overtime. The Blazers (3-1) saw New Mexico hit a 30-footer at the regulation buzzer to tie, and a 20-footer with two seconds left in the first overtime to extend the game.
Don't look for UAB players to feel sorry for themselves Friday.
"They don't have that option," said coach Jerod Haase, a former Kansas player. "I'm not going to give them that option."
UAB's Rod Rucker had one of the strangest statistical lines in years. The 6-foot-5 forward missed 19 of 22 shots, but finished with 18 points by hitting 12 of 13 free throws. He also had 20 rebounds and seven assists.
Blazers' guard Chad Frazier led all scorers with 34 points. Center Fahro Alihodzic, who signed a letter of intent with Nebraska in November 2011, added eight points and eight rebounds. Alihodzic was released from his letter when NU changed coaches from Doc Sadler to Tim Miles.
Moving forward quickly was on Nebraska's mind, too.
"If we bounce back and play well tomorrow," Miles said, "the tournament will be a meaningful experience."
Nebraska's first-round loss means the best it can finish is fifth.
90 not enough for Huskers
If you were left wondering when Nebraska last scored 90 points, it was justified.
You have to go back 120 games, to 2009 and a 94-61 win over Southern Utah. The last time NU scored 90 and lost? It was in 1998, 105-91 at Texas.
"I didn't want it to be that high-scoring," Miles said. "But when we had to come back, we needed quicker possessions and to be on the attack."
Nebraska's biggest lead was three points at 21-18. Its final lead was 39-38 with 1:41 to go in the first half.
UMass coach Derek Kellogg said he hoped to use his team's athleticism, experience and depth to set the tempo against Nebraska.
"We got them playing a little faster than they wanted to," Kellogg said. "We used our 2-2-1 press. That was really good for us for a stretch.
"But then they used it against us when they went with three guards, so it was a good adjustment by them."
Start cut short for Gallegos
Nebraska senior guard Ray Gallegos made his first start Thursday, replacing David Rivers, but NU's top returning scorer couldn't finish the game.
Gallegos suffered a lateral knee sprain early in the second half, and is questionable for Friday's second-round game. He played 22 minutes, hit just 1 of 4 shots and had no rebounds or free throws.
"It was unfortunate he got hurt," Miles said. "We could have used him."
Bits and pieces
� Nebraska's Terran Petteway on his 28 points (7 of 19 field goals, 11 of 12 free throws): "It was 28 points with a loss. I'd rather have zero with a win. I never like losing. It hurts."
� Husker forward Leslee Smith posted his first double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds.
� Scott Howard, a former Husker basketball assistant under Danny Nee, was in attendance. Howard is a scouting director with the Washington Wizards.
� John Higgins of Omaha is one of the officials in the tourney.

Kris Longknife: Furious
Mike Shepherd - Author
- eBook - ePub eBook: $7.99
Having used unorthodox methods to save a world—and every sentient being on it—Lieutenant Commander Kris Longknife is wanted across the galaxy for crimes against humanity. For her own safety, she's been assigned to a backwater planet where her Fast Patrol Squadron 127 enforces immigration control and smuggler interdiction.
But Kris is a Longknife, and nothing can stop her from getting back to the center of things—not when all hell is breaking loose. Now she's on the run, hunted by both military and civilian authorities—and since the civilian authorities happen to be her immediate family, Kris soon finds herself homeless, broke, and on trial for her life on an alien world…
Princess Kristine Longknife studied herself in the mirror above the bar. She didn't look any different. Her Navy blues still sported the two and a half stripes of a lieutenant commander. Why did she feel so different?
She sat in her usual chair at the far end of the bar. The next eight chairs were empty, by mutual consent of both her and the small crowd at the other end. A few misinformed men had entered her space.
One look from Kris, and they fled.
At the other end of the bar, quiet chatter rose and fell. An occasional joke brought forth bleary laughter. A deathly hush resided at Kris's end.
The emphasis was on death.
Kris lifted her nightly liter of Scotch and swirled the liquid around, studying it in the faint light. This faithful soldier was about half–gone.
Kris poured herself another shot of the fiery liquid. There was no tremble in her hands. No sign at all that she had polished off the first half of her nightly allotment in the three hours since she had come off duty.
She downed the shot without tasting it. Some people waxed lyrical about the warmth of good Scottish whiskey as it passed from lips to stomach.
Kris hated the stuff.
To her it tasted more like something for cleaning paint–encrusted brushes, something you'd punish yourself by imbibing.
"Punish." There was that word again. It seemed to come up a lot in Kris's thoughts.
"Punish," as in they're dead, and you're alive, and you ought to be punished for that state of affairs.
Kris poured herself more poison and drank it down. The last time she had crawled into a bottle, after little Eddy died, and she survived the kidnapping, the liquor at least did its job. It wrapped her in cotton candy and made the days easy to forget and deadened the terrors of the nights.
Now her nightly self–medication did nothing to tame the nightmares.
Well, she'd managed to show up at the squadron with nothing worse than a dull headache from the night before. And no, so far, she hadn't let herself partake of the hair of the dog that bit her the night before. The fast patrol boats were puny, but any warship, no matter how tiny, could easily turn and kill a handler who did not treat her with respect.
Kris had killed enough already. She would not add more to her list of slaughtered subordinates.
Kris poured another shot and eyed it like she might some hostile alien cruiser. She'd had quite a few of them in the crosshairs of her 24–inch pulse lasers. Those she knew how to handle.
It was what you did after you'd won the fight that had Kris defeated.
She reached for her punishment.
"Auntie Kris, please come home," left Kris clenching an empty fist.
A glance in the mirror above her head showed a thirteen–year–old girl in a tee that shimmered through the faces of some popular band. Her swirling floor–length skirt showed every color of the rainbow, and sparkled as well.
Kris closed her eyes against the glare; teenagers were going to go blind before they reached twenty if all those riotous colors stayed in fashion. The Navy officer turned to face her latest truant officer. "You can't come in here. You're under age."
Cara, one of the few survivors of Kris's company, gave her a short teen shrug . . . whatever . . . and shot the barkeep a quick, easy grin. He went on doing what he was doing at the other end of the bar, and Cara flounced over to sit next to Kris.
"It doesn't seem that anything is really illegal on Madigan's Rainbow so long as it doesn't mess with one of the shareholders."
The thirteen–year–old had gotten that right. The hired help could do just about anything on this benighted planet. Anything but upset one of the old farts who owned a share in the place. Inconvenience one of them, and you'd be on the next ship out.
Maybe inside with oxygen to breathe if you didn't piss them off too much. Otherwise, maybe outside with not so much to breathe.
"You know, the day after I arrived, I tried to buy a share in this . . . place," Kris settled for. Cussing in front of a thirteen–year–old girl seemed undignified. Besides, considering Cara's background on New Eden, she likely knew far worse than Kris had picked up in her sheltered upbringing and years in the Navy.
"You did?" Cara answered, wide–eyed. "What happened?"
Warming to a conversation with someone who would let Kris ramble where she chose, the princess and major shareholder in Nuu Enterprises went on.
"I plunked down a credit chit worth two shares, dared them to say I wasn't rich enough to buy into their little hideaway."
"Wow," was Cara's innocent reaction.
"Then the planet manager let me in on a little secret. You don't just have to have money; you got to be liked."
"Oh," Cara said. Even a teenager from New Eden knew the reputation Longknifes had in human space.
"Yep, any shareholder could veto any new applicant."
"What happened?" was more a space holder than a question.
"An hour after the general manager sent out my application, she had a list of vetoes that was longer than her stockholders list."
"How'd that happen?" Now there was honest puzzlement, rare in a teenager.
"Some people vetoed me twice. Didn't want to risk their first veto getting lost on the net."
"Oh," Cara said. "I see."
"Yeah," Kris said, downing the drink she'd poured before Cara arrived. "I may have billions of good Wardhaven dollars in my portfolio, but I'm just a scat–lugging hireling on Madigan's Rainbow."
Kris considered that as she poured her next drink. After surveying the smooth flow of liquid from bottle to shot glass, she made a command decision.
"Barkeep, a drink for my short friend here."
"I'm not that much shorter than you," Cara snorted under her breath. And she spoke the truth. Her last growth spurt, fueled by good food on the Wasp, was carrying her close to Kris's own six feet.
Further discussions of altitude and attitude was cut short by the bartender's curt, "What will you have?"
"A Shirley Temple," Cara beamed proudly, "with three cherries."
The bartender set to work at his end of the bar.
"Where'd you learn about a Shirley Temple?" Kris demanded after downing her own poison and refilling her glass.
"Auntie Abby told me to order one if you insisted I drink something."
Unlike "Auntie Kris," Abby really was Cara's aunt, and only living relative in human space. Not that following a Longknife around both in and out of human space made it all that easy to stay a living person, relative or otherwise.
Abby was nominally Kris's maid. She was also a whole lot more, some of which helped Kris stay alive.
At the moment, no one could help Kris stay alive but Kris.
"So," Kris said, belting down another shot, "why'd Abby send you to get me?"
"Because she already had one black eye and doesn't want another," had the kind of innocent truth that one mumbled under one's breath, not expecting a teenager to pick up on it and pass it along.
It was also true.
Last night, Kris had objected to being dragged off to bed before her liter was a truly dead soldier. Surprises of surprises, Kris had caught Abby off guard and landed a good one. Shocked, whether at what she'd done or that Abby had actually dropped her guard for a second, Kris went docilely to bed.
And had to suffer through today with more attention and less of a headache.
Sending a kid, and a girl at that. Abby was really playing dirty.
Kris managed to get three more shots in while Cara polished off her drink and openly relished the taste of each bright red cherry.
Last cherry gone, Cara hopped off her chair and grinned at Kris. "Time to go."
"Why?" Kris answered belligerently.
"I got a surprise for you."
"What kind of surprise?"
"If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise," had the kind of logic even a three–year–old could understand. A three–year–old or a drunk.
Kris was neither. At least the lack of the trembles seemed to say so. After weighing her options only slightly less carefully than Kris weighed starting a war between the entire human race and some really nasty aliens, Kris decided to follow Cara.
The young woman led: out of the bar, out of the hotel, and out into the streets of Elysian Fields. It was late, and the streetlights had already been dimmed. It was an obvious encouragement to all the worker bees that management expected you to be early to bed and early to rise.
Few here held out any hope of being healthy, wealthy, or wise. You either made it before you got here, or you did what you were told and were grateful for the chance.
There were a few exceptions to that policy. Do something that really won the approval of management, and you might be rewarded with a significant bounty.
Kris suspected that catching one Kris Longknife in an escape attempt had a very high bounty on it. No one had told her, but the looks she got, the questions she was asked whenever she varied one millimeter from her normal schedule fairly shouted a bounty with a lot of zeros and commas. Kris might be wanted for crimes against humanity on 150 planets, but she wasn't dumb, or any less observant than she'd been when she got herself into this mess.
Tonight, as they made their way back to Kris's nearly palatial quarters . . . after all, she was a Longknife and she did command FastPatRon 127, the main defense Madigan's Rainbow had against smugglers and the odd alien scow that might wander by . . . Cara gabbed up a blue streak. She talked about how this or that reminded her of that place or the other on New Eden.
Kris hadn't spent that much time on New Eden before the government invited her to go elsewhere in a hurry. But Elysian Fields did not look at all like Eden's main city. New Eden was run–down and shabby, in need of urban renewal or at least several new coats of paint. Fields was washed and scrubbed, planted and flowering . . . or else.
Kris let the teenager babble while walking a straight line to prove she could.
Then Cara took a turn that Kris normally didn't take on her walk home. It wasn't a turn that would make her miss Kris's quarters, it was just that Kris had fallen into a habit of always taking the more scenic route. The one next to the park. It left her in easy reach of a bush if the Scotch suddenly demanded to vacate the premises.
Cara turned away from the park and onto a road lined with four–to–eight–story walk–ups.
Pickled brain or no, Kris checked for her service–issue automatic. It was in its usual place in the small of her back. This could just be a new kid in town taking a shortcut through a bad part of town.
Officially, Fields had no "bad" part of town. Still, there were places that fell well below the medium income. Some of the old codgers living here had reputations. There were whispered stories of how they'd made their billions without benefit of law and in ways the courts would have frowned upon if they'd come to their attention. Kris had picked up hints that things were not always as calm as they seemed among the owners.
There had to be someplace on the planet where one could procure that which wasn't displayed in the gleaming windows of the stores.
Cara made another turn, still talking like a magpie. The alcoholic buzz was gone. Kris was on full alert. Cara was now walking away from their quarters.
Inconspicuously, Kris's eyes roved, looking for a friendly cop, who would most solicitously tell Kris she was not going the way she should and ask why.
Or a thug looking for a big payday and finding a spectacular one. Just the value of the raw components of the computer at Kris's neck would make the thief a billionaire.
Not that Nelly had said a word to Kris in over three weeks.
There was, of course, always the risk of an assassin. Kris had dodged plenty of them. Some genius had cut her security detail here to zero . . . well, Abby . . . insisting that Madigan's Rainbow was a totally benign planet.
Like there would ever be one where Kris was concerned.
There was a reason Kris was wanted on 150 planets. And a lot of people going through worse stages of grief than she was would gladly see her dead.
Fear blew a cold wind through Kris's brain, driving the final wisps of whiskey's self–induced fog before it. Still yapping, Cara stooped to check her shoe. "I got this huge rock in it," she insisted.
Kris ground her teeth. They had stopped in front of a narrow alley. The smell of garbage and urine assailed the air. More proof that these Elysian fields had an ugly underbelly. Kris peered into the dark of the alley but could see nothing.
Cara stood up and huffed "I'm glad that's taken care of."
THE DECEPTION IS GOING FINE, Nelly said, speaking in Kris's head for the first time in almost a month. NOW GET YOUR DRUNK ASS UP THAT ALLEY, YOUR STUPID HIGHNESS.

Pros – One can learn alot through trial and error @ SG. Also you will gain experience with the cutting edge technology. Money is not a problem so you will be compensated for your work and given the tools to do an effective job. The work environment is very close knit and personable. You will develop life long friendships and relationships. The benefits are great and very competitive compared to other manufacturing facilities. Even with all of the drawbacks SG is a great place to work. The location is excellent. There is constant growth and the sky is the limit for future of this company.
Cons – The amount of commitment is excessive due to the lack of capable people to step up to the plate. The management and leadership qualities could use some work. There is alot office politics and fear tactics used to ensure that you get the job done. Alittle more professionalism and tact by the upper management team will attract a more professional and talented market.
Advice to Senior Management – Work on an effective succession plan to develop future leaders. Also think before you do things then you would not have to cover up all of the indiscretions later on.

New to Double Rifles
After many years of fantasizing about double guns, I finally have the resources to buy a moderately priced one. Originally I was looking at a Sabatti in 9.3x74 but I've seen where .50 percent love them and .50% say they are junk. I am about to pull the trigger on buying a Merkel 140-2 in .375 H&H and just wanted to know people's thoughts on that particular rifle. I don't want anything bigger than .375 because although I'll be using it in Africa, it will get the most use hunting NA big game. Thanks

Welcome to AH ... Your question is a good one...
While accuracy has improved over the years most double rifles are built for a quick second or follow up shot...
Do you want a double rifle just to say "I hunt with a double rifle"...
"The .375 H & H in both belted and flanged format is as good today as it ever was. Still considered the all around cartridge by which all others are judge, it has been used successfully on every big game animal in Africa. In double rifle terms it would not be considered a 'stopper' in the true sense, nevertheless it has saved many a life and has a great reputation. The calibre is also manageable from a recoil perspective which adds to the beauty of owning one. Because of its versatility you'll often find doubles in this caliber scoped."
"Accuracy...A consistent group of anywhere from 2"-4" at 50 yards and some will do this at 100 yards. This is perfectly acceptable particularly with open sights. At the end of the day, it is your first shot that counts and the second is normally at a fleeing target or at point blank range if your quarry's decided to come at you! There may be some difference in grouping between solid and soft nose bullets as well as bullets by other manufacturers."
In 375 H & H i would suggest that you purchase a fine bolt action rifle with a quality scope for precision shooting...
If i were looking at obtaining a Double rifle i would look at purchasing a 450 NE or bigger...James Grage - New Mexico

Welcome to the forum.
It is true what James say about accuracy with a double rifle, since it is difficult to get both barrels to shoot the same way with different ammunition. The only way is to try different loads. When it come to quality in the build, I doubt there is any other makes that can compare to the Merkel.The best hunt are the one in your dreams, the next best are the one in your memories.

I own a couple of other doubles and my personal experience with Merkel is limited. With that being said there are people who I know and trust that own Merkels and are very pleased with them. The Merkel should be a very serviceable hunting firearm.
Chapuis also makes a nice lower end double in the 9.3 by 74. Here is an example.

Hi SkipJ
I never hunted or shot with a Merkel rifles before, I had those in mi hands but never used one, but I know people that hunted with them both in Safaris in Africa and in monterias in Spain. Most of those people finished selling their Merkels doubles.
I would say there are better rifles than Merkel, the problem of course is the price. But there are better brands such as Chapuis. As far as I know chapuis is a nice double.
You can also try to look for a second hand rifles. I do not know if you can find those here in the US, but you can try to look for a Spanish Ego or Sarasqueta. I got a double Ego in 9.3x74R and works really well, I have hunted with it since I was 14 years old and shot a lot with it. Back in Spain you can buy one of those rifles for somewhere around 3,000Eur, but I do not know if you can find one of those here.

I have shot a Merkel and I prefer my Chapuis.. But that's just my opinion. You could also consider a 9.3X74R caliber instead of the 375 H&H. It's a low pressure round that's rimmed made for a DR. No problems with the pawl slipping on the rim and not extracting.
Powder wise it's just a bit under a H&H. A very servicable round for anything in NA and most anything in Africa.

Hi have been hunting with a 9.3x74R since I was 14 years old back in Spain and I never use this rifle in Africa, but I have hunted several buffalo with a 375HH. I personally would not recommend to use this rifle with big boys such as buffalo. To me the 9.3x74R is a slow caliber and with lack of energy. It is such a nice caliber for driven hunts in Europe or monterias in Spain. I would say you can use this caliber comfortable to follow wounded cats with a good soft bullet. But I would never use this caliber with buffalo.
For big boy such as buffalo I rather using big guns... those animals are tough... that is why I ordered my 470NE...

Thanks for the advice fellas. I'm pretty sold on the .375.

Good calibre!!!!

I think the 9.3x74R with good bullets driven at good velocity which it is quite capable of, would be adequate for buffalo. The 9.3x62 has long been given a pass for buffalo in some countries and they are capable of the same exact thing. Neither would be my first choice but I would not be afraid to take a buff with them.
Hi sestoppelman,
Just for my knowledge, are the 9,3x74 and 9,3x62 capables of the same exact things?
- Member of NRA, NA Hunt Club
- Hunted Tanzania, Botswana, Zimbabwe (2), Namibia, South Africa
I have owned and shot both. What one will do the other will do.
Thanks sestoppelman, I thought 9,3x62 is a bit more powerful
- Member of NRA, NA Hunt Club
- Hunted Tanzania, Botswana, Zimbabwe (2), Namibia, South Africa
The 74 is a bigger case using the same bullet. Most loading manuals give the 62 an advantage being in bolt guns while the 74 is usually associated with doubles and single shots which may not be quite as strong as the bolt. I used a Ruger No. 1 and in such a gun the 74 can be loaded right up to snuff and probably could also in a good double as well. No game animal would ever know the difference between 100 fps either way.
- Hunted Zimbabwe, Argentina, Spain, Turkey,...
For sure you can kill a buffalo with a 9.3x74R and with a 9.3x62 but to me it does not mean that is adequate caliber for cape buffalo.
I got a 9.3x74R double at home and I will never use it for that purpose. But you know the beauty is there are a lot different calibers tho chose from...
I would be much more comfortable shooting a buffalo with a 338win or 8x68S with the right bullet than with my 9.3x74R and I can tell I love my double and I use it every single season in Spain.

Well you see thats what makes life interesting. I would prefer either of the 9.3 rounds to either of your choices based on caliber and bullet weight alone and either can post nearly the same energy figures as your choices. You can run nearly 300 grs in either 9.3. Yes there is a 275 gr bullet for the .338 and around 250 for the 8mm but heavier than that is not commom. I think any of the four would be about equal for buff and none would be my first choice either. To each his own.
Knowing that neither 9,3x62 nor 9,3x74 nor 338 are adequate for buffalo, although capables, I think 9,3x62 and 9,3x74 are over 338, just for de caliber diameter. Maybe I am wrong
- Member of NRA, NA Hunt Club
- Hunted Tanzania, Botswana, Zimbabwe (2), Namibia, South Africa
Dont misunderstand. I believe all would be adequate under the right conditions but none would be my first choice when there are so many other better choices. My next buff if there is one will be hunted with a .404 Jeffery. My first two both fell to the .375.
- Hunted Zimbabwe, Argentina, Spain, Turkey,...
I prefer 338win than 9.3x74R because of confidence. A long time ago the 338win was loaded with 300Grains bullet, but not anymore. I heard people want the 338win to compete with the 375HH... difficult task...
I hunted 4 buffalo already, I shot and kill them all with a 375HH, I believe this is an outstanding caliber and all round... however I think is not enough for those beast.
I shot one of them 12meters away from us, the first shot straight into the lungs hitting the hart and the second shot straight into the chest hitting the hart again... and the buffalo did not stop... he run 80-90meters and hide into a thick bush, hitting it looking for someone to fight... the area was burn down we could see it and managed shot it 4 more time. Since then I believe 375HH is just not enough!!!
Thats him...

^Agree CT. Heard Hall Of Fame nominee Gary Payton say yesterday he will be working with Lillard on his slide (D) this offseason. The Glove spoke highly of Portland's budding superstar, citing that his work ethic and desire are why he will continue to improve. Dame's work ethic is as much the reason for the eruption in the man Dawg cave on draft day as was his obvious talent and tremendous pre-draft workout in Portland.
I wanted Lawson, but now, hindsight being 20/20, am much happier to have Dame. Lawson's speed and ability to finish thru contact paired with the savy of ex-Blazer Andre Miller is a deadly 1-2 punch. I agree completely with your assessment. Match the speed and aggressiveness of Lawson and the hustle, will, and desire of Faried and bask in victory when the horn sounds. Same 'ol story really, all season. set an attacking tone early and never back off the gas. Don't settle for jumpers. This all starts with #0.

The Nuggets on the 2nd night of back-to-back. Even with their energy and drive, if we jump on them early and play our pace, we can really come out with a good win.
If JJ can out hustle Faried and Wes can knock down some early shots, it will open up the whole game for LA and Dame to take over late on.
Do not rely on the bench!!!!!

No such thing as a good loss. If ever there were...this game would qualify. Leonard had a breakout game, and on the eve of his 21st birthday. In the big picture, Leonard's development is FAR and away more important to this team's future than any one game. Dame had the stroke going again, battling Lawson punch for punch, like two heavyweights. Good fight tonight guys.

19 turnovers is brutal but the number that is even worse 72 points in the paint. Lawson and Iggy got inside at will last night. The only thing that saved this game from being completely on sided was 13 missed Denver FTS and 10 made Portland 3's.

Posted 03/01/2013 5:17 AM
@kennyc...earlier in the year, I would have agreed with your criticisms of Aldridge and his unwillingness to do work in the paint. Now however, my take is different. I believe it unrealistic to expect LaMarcus to have the motivation now to go down and battle freakish athletes like Iggy in the paint, players playing for something...grown men motivated to the extent of warming up in the Blazer training room prior to the game by doing jumping jacks with 25lb dumbells in both hands. Canzano witnessed Iggy's warm-up and spoke of it on his show yesterday. Remember, these guys get paid whether they work hard or not. One might even say it's intelligent to not risk injury "needlessly", thus possibly shortening a career and the size of your 401K. Imo...time to play the bench. You will begin to see frustration now from the starters whom have that competitive gene. LaMarcus, Wes, and Dame specifically.

the contractor to create a monolithic concrete structure
that is unsurpassed in energy efficiency and strength.
-Energy Efficient
-Low Maintenance
-Comfortable and Quiet
-Environmentally Friendly
-Unparalleled Safety and Security
SecureTech Homes™ Support and Services
We regularly consult with your contractors and builders
before and during the construction process, providing
custom design and technical support, as well as on-site
training and inspections, for the SecureTech™
Formwork building systems. Our SecureTech Homes™ technical
support and consulting services are another reason that
SecureTech™ built structures are the ultimate
in residential and commercial construction.
Energy Efficiency
Because of concrete's natural thermal properties, SecureTech™
built homes stay warmer in the winter and cooler in
the summer than traditional homes. SecureTech™
homes consistently earn the EPA five-star rating. Homes
with the ENERGY STAR label are designed to use less
energy, help you save money on utility bills, and help
protect the environment.
From stripping of forms to finished home
Appearance and Maintenance
Once cast, homes built using SecureTech™
Formwork products and technology can be veneered with a wide
range of attractive,low-maintenance materials: from
stucco to vinyl siding to brick or stone.
SecureTech™ built homes can be built in your
choice of architectural styles, including contemporary
ranch, two-story colonial, detached or attached homes.
Inside, plaster-finished walls with built-in concrete
crown moldings achieve a superior appearance at a minimal
cost compared to that of conventional construction.
From raw concrete to finished steps and walls
independent tests simulating 250 mile-per-hour ground
level wind speeds equal to the strongest tornadoes and
hurricanes, concrete walls consistently outperformed
wood- and steel-framed walls for 1) stopping flying
debris, the greatest hazard to homeowners during this
life-threatening weather and 2) withstand collapsing
and structure damage. Researchers under the direction
of Ernst Kiesling, Ph.D., P.E. Professor of Civil Engineering,
Wing Engineering Research Center at Texas Tech University
concluded that walls built with wood or steel studs
lack the strength and mass to resist the impact of wind-driven
debris, while concrete walls consistently stood up to
the test.
In various strength tests, concrete proved two to four
times stronger than the maximum wind load and five to
nine times stronger than the maximum earthquake load
- bending strength considerably greater than the standards
required by the Uniform Building Code.
In countless fire wall tests, concrete has proven itself
as one of the most fire- and heat-resistant construction
materials. Unlike wood or steel, concrete does not burn,
soften, or bend, so concrete structures are most likely
to remain standing through a fire.
Unlike wood framing, concrete is not susceptible to
rotting wood or damage by insects, like termites, that
can cost thousand of
dollars to treat or repair.
SecureTech™ state-of-the-art construction formwork
and technology allow your builder to cost efficiently
create a home that is structurally safe, secure, low
maintenance, low insurance cost, environmentally friendly,
comfortable and quiet.
1. Concrete Formwork: After placing a reinforced
structural slab for the home, aluminum concrete forms
(8' plus tall) are erected creating 4" reinforced
concrete walls with 2" of insulation on the exterior
and 6" concrete floor/ceiling.
2. Electrical: Electrical boxes, conduit, plumbing,
and mechanical sleeves are cast in place.
3. Pouring Concrete: Concrete is poured into the wall
and deck forms. In just one day, the reinforced concrete
is sufficiently cured and forms are removed. Work begins
on the second level if a two-story structure. Walls,
ceilings, and stairs are placed monolithically.
4. Interior Wall: Because the finished interior concrete
walls and ceiling are so flat and smooth, drywall is
not needed. Walls and ceilings are plastered, sanded,
touched up, and painted.
5. Exterior and Roof: The exterior can be finished
with stucco, brick, or other commonly used siding materials.
The roof is conventionally framed of dimensional lumber
or wood or steel trusses atop the concrete deck that
forms the first or second level's ceiling. This allows
architectural flexibility in roof design while keeping
the wood or steel used for the roof framing outside
of the home's fire-resistant thermal concrete envelope.

The Concept
The Five Dysfunctions of a Team outlines the root causes of politics and dysfunction on the teams where you work, and the keys to overcoming them. Teams willing to dedicate themselves to building a cohesive team will experience the synergistic power and results only derived from maximizing human potential.
The Model
Dysfunction #1: Absence of Trust
Fear of being vulnerable with team members prevents the building of trust on a team.
Dysfunction #2: Fear of Conflict
The desire to preserve artificial harmony stifles the occurrence of productive ideological conflict.
Dysfunction #3: Lack of Commitment
The lack of clarity or buy-in prevents team members from making decisions they will stick to.
Dysfunction #4: Avoidance of Accountability
The need to avoid interpersonal discomfort prevents team members from holding one another accountable.
Dysfunction #5: Inattention to Results
The pursuit of individual goals and personal status erodes the focus on collective results.
Characteristics of High Performing Teams:
Teams willing to address the Five Dysfunctions can experience the following benefits. High performing, cohesive teams:
- Avoid wasting time talking about the wrong issues and revisiting the same topics over and over again because of lack of buy-in
- Make higher quality decisions and accomplish more in less time and fewer resources
- Are comfortable asking for help, admitting mistakes and limitations and take risks offering feedback
- Tap into one another's skills and experiences
- Put critical topics on the table and have lively meetings
- Align the team around common objectives
- Retain star employees

My daughter freaked out when I put her in a sling. She was only about a month old at the time, but she cried like crazy. I do wish they worked for us though. It would make life easier. We do have a Snuggli that she really likes, but it's not too great when she needs to sleep (she rarely falls asleep in an upward position).
I help teach parents how to use carriers. There are a few things that help:
--try a new carrier when your little one is already happy, well-fed and in a clean diaper
--get moving: bounce, rock or take a walk once you get your little settled into the carrier
--be calm: your little one can sense if you feel anxious or nervous about trying the carrier
--mimic in-arms carrying positions--if your little likes to be held up high in "burp position," then use a carrier in a way that allows you to carry him/her in burp position. Don't try something different like a cradle position.
Great advice from APmomma! Keep trying - your daughter will eventually get used to it...sometimes it's just a little bit different for the baby and takes a little bit of getting used to. If you use it while walking, like APmomma said, a lot of babies enjoy the movement and rocking motion. Hope it gets better for you!
