In celebration of President's Day, Buzzfeed.com challenged their staffers to identify 10 U.S. President's by picture. Even though the staffers didn't recognize some of the presidents, they did see the resemblance they shared with Santa Claus and Justin Bieber!

Disturbing but not unbelievable...sort of expected for San Francisco quite honestly. Any town that can declare itself a haven for illegal immigrants, outlaw the Army and send Nancy Pelosi and Harry Waxmen to Congress would be expected to adopt a "laws are for thee not for me" attitude. To be honest I reside in New Jersey and see many of the same abuses of authority and infringement of 2A rights that you reference in your essay.
Glad to have you on board...an insider in the 2A fought is a good source of info...there are several CA residents on the forum that may be interested in what your organization is planning on their behalf.
If you have not already done so please drop over to the intro section and tell us a little bit about yourself...I skimmed your bio but others may net be as nosey...
"The whole of the Bill (of Rights) is a declaration of the right of the people at large or considered as individuals.... It establishes some rights of the individual as unalienable and which consequently, no majority has a right to deprive them of." (Albert Gallatin of the New York Historical Society, October 7, 1789)
"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." - George Washington
Mr. Yih-Chau Chang It is good to have you aboard, I have read quite abit of your Oakland Gun Rights Examiner articles. Thanks for the work you do.
I'd be moving my self, family and money out of the area. for that matter I had a cousin who used to live in North California and bugged me to come visit her and her family. I assured her that I would, just as soon as California became friendlier to CCW. They moved several years ago and have never looked back since.
I've heard that there is some awesome looking country in cali but I personally will avoid that state at all cost. There digging them selves a nice deep hole when it comes to gun and politics (break it down Poly= many, tics= blood sucking parasites...) and its going to be hell for them to get out of it. Even if the liberal yuppies running the place some how get it down to where citizens can only have hunting rifles (pray to god it never happens) the black market will still supply the criminal faction with arms.
"ever man out here has a timer, no one know how long it will take but no one last forever"
Sargent Miller
"cake or death! I'll have the cake then... SORRY WHERE OUT OF CAKE!... so it's or death? I'll have the chicken then please." Eddy Izzard
"so a suppose your going to kill me now? no he is I'm just here to watch"
"you know why guns are better then a woman?... you can put a silencer on a gun."
Thanks for all of your support. The tide has turned in California 2A politics. Last year, we were able to stop all gun control bills in the State Legislature cold. And we are building upon that momentum this year with a more concerted and coordinated effort from all of the gun rights groups from within the State. It is an exciting time to be involved at restoring our fundamental civil right to self defense in CA. It won't be long before our reputation as being a lost cause for gun rights gets turned around.
There is always hope and with some hard work anything is possable.
Good luck with what you are doing. I am blessed to live in Florida where the environment is much more comfortable when it comes to gun ownership and carry. I can only hope California turns this way,

That is what has happened in Illinois, particularly Chicago. Just last night there were 12 shootings in Chicago. Because only the criminals have the guns. The law abiding citizens don't.
The only reason anyone is above the law in America is because we let them get away with it

The purchasing clerk maintains the backstock of product for resale following the general purchasing policies of their company. They are responsible for procuring a wide range of product at optimal prices (with varying lead times) so that no item is ever out of stock. The purchasing clerk must work closely with the warehouse and suppliers to ensure a smooth supply chain. Additionally, it is the responsibility of the purchasing clerk to stay up to date on the stock of the various suppliers and make decisions accordingly; for example, if a supplier runs out of a specific product, the purchasing clerk may assist the purchasing manager in finding a new source. The purchasing clerk is responsible for maintaining files on all vendors and product purchased. All received products must be reconciled with the purchase orders issued, and the purchasing clerk is responsible for resolving any shortage or pricing issues that arise from an order in a timely fashion.Read More...
A high school diploma or equivalent is generally the minimum educational requirement for this position. Although a postsecondary degree is often preferred, equivalent previous purchasing and/or shipping and receiving experience may be accepted in lieu of experience. The purchasing clerk must possess excellent oral and written communication skills, maintain a friendly and professional demeanor at all times, and be proficient with basic computer programs such as the Microsoft Office software suite; knowledge of purchasing programs is preferred.
Purchasing Clerks typically list a handful of skills they use on the job. Most notably, skills in Order Inventory, Microsoft Excel, Purchasing, and Microsoft Office are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that seem to negatively impact pay include Microsoft Office. Microsoft Excel and Purchasing are correlating skills — those who know the former usually know the latter.

Although individuals who have less than five years' experience earn $30K on average, people with five to 10 years benefit from a notably larger average of $34K. The average pay reported by folks with 10 to 20 years of experience is around $36K. Folks with more than two decades of experience actually report lower incomes overall; their average comes out to a mere $35K.

Samsung May Try To Block Next iPhone In Europe Too 271

The whole situation has happened before, though. 150 years ago we had a similar war over the patents for sewing machines. It eventually led to the Sewing Machine Combination [wikipedia.org], which was a patent pool that created a 20-year cartel of four manufacturers. They were the only ones allowed to produce cutting-edge sewing machines.
Notably, the next major innovation in sewing machines (the rotary hook) sat unexploited until the combination expired in 1876 (sources here [wikipedia.org] and here [wikipedia.org].
Apple has changed to many other suppliers for its components (the A5 chip comes to mind) so this argument is not valid anymore. Samsung stated that at first, they bent over and let Apple have their way in order to keep a 'healthy' business relation. But after the Galaxy line got blocked in the EU, generating a huge loss, Apple choosing other manufacturers over Samsung, and still acting like a small female dog over patents, Samsung has become quite angry and now Pandora's box is open it seems. I sincerely hope they destroy Apple or at least let them bleed with their childish tactics: crying that they are the underdog while suing all competition out of the market.

At left are Secretary of State Kissinger and President Ford. Left to right from the center are, Andrey Aleksandrov, aide to the Soviet leader, Soviet Ambassador to the U.S. Anatoly Dobrynin, Soviet Foreign Minister Andrey Gromyko and Soviet Communist Party Leader Brezhnev. Ford 'Encouraged' with Summit VLADIVOSTOK, U.S.S.R. <AP) President Ford said today that he was "encour- aged" about the progress he is making with Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev on establish- ing guidelines for a new 10- year treaty limiting offensive nuclear weapons. "We hope we don't disap- point the President, bundled in a wolfskin parka with a Russian sable hat on his head, told newsmen at the door of his dacha (villa.) "We're encouraged." He then walked down a snow-lined path to a confer- ence center where Brezhnev awaited him tar the second day of talks on the nuclear Today's Chuckle Father: "My kid talks two languages English and back." arms limitation treaty, as well as a variety of other topics, including the Middle East. Past Midnight Ford and Brezhnev had met in the white stucco building until past midnight Saturday, discussing only one subject: How to instruct negotiators in Geneva on framing a nuclear arms limitation treaty in time to sign when the two leaders meet again in Washington next summer. After the more than six hours of talks, Secretary of State Kissinger told newsmen: "We are in the same ballpark Enough was done to give impetus to the negotiations in Geneva. We have come closer to our goal." "Spirit of Detente" The two-day summit has been widely publicized in the Soviet press, reflecting the Kremlin's determination to move ahead with' its policy of detente. "A new significant page is being inscribed into the chronicle of the relationship between our countries, marked with the spirit of de- tente and declared the government newspaper Izvestia. The nuclear arms limita- tions treaty apparently has been the key topic discus- sion. The U. S. and Soviet Un- ion are both committed to a 10-year treaty limiting mis- siles, bombers and other means of waging nuclear warfare. The U.S.-Soviet pact re- stricting certain weapons systems expires in 1977. At the last U.S.-Soviet summit, Brezhnev and former Presi- dent Nixon failed to make substantial progress on a SALT pact, but agreed to work toward a 10-year pact. "Not Right" "For a variety of reasons things were not right for an agreement" last July, Kis- singer said. The Ford- Brezhnev talks were "in a different he said. "I have the impression the two men get along excel- lently." The Russians issued a state- ment, approved by Ford, that spoke of a "determination to make all necessary efforts" to give recent improvements in U.S.-Soviet relations "an ir- reversible character." Ford and Brezhnev were meeting again Sunday and were expected to turn to the Middle East and other topics shelved along with dinner Sat- urday night to maintain the momentum of their discussion on the complex nuclear weap- ons issue. Kissinger said Ford's de- parture may be extended sev- eral hours but that the Pres- ident planned'to head back for Washington by nightfall.

Six women came down a ladder placed against the door of the British Airways jet's cockpit and walked to the terminal building. Three hours earlier five women, a child and a man were freed Engineers Hit AEC Power Plant Study WASHINGTON (AP) A group of engineers and scien- tists said Saturday the Atomic Energy Commission has given out "misleading and in- complete information on the risk of catastrophic nuclear power plant accidents." Particularly, the group at- tacked a two-year, study by Dr. Norman Ras- mussen of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, re- leased by the AEC in August. The Rasmusscn study, said MIT physics professor Henry W. Kendall, "has serious lim- itations and defects and cannot be used to sweep away the doubts about reactor safe- ty." Power Program Milton Kamins, chief en- gineer for Rand Corp., said the Rasmussen work stands only "as in-house rational- ization" on the safely of the AEC's power program. The group made its accusa- tions at a news conference and released a 150-page report of its own on behalf of the Union of Concerned Scientists, Cambridge, Mass., and (he Sierra Club, San Francisco. What should happen next, Kendall said, is a compre- hensive and disinterested re- view of the nuclear power program by congress. "The AEC is confident that the techniques used in the Rasmussen study are the best a spokesman for the agency said in response to the criticism. Rasmussen attempted to the same way and subsequent- ly were whisked off to a Tunis hotel. After the first release, Tuni- sian Interior Minister Taher Balkohdja told newsmen ne- gotiations with the hijackers were "proceeding actively" and the drama might soon be resolved. Shot in Back Earlier in the day, hundreds of horrified spectators looked on from the airport's terminal building as one of the gunmen marched German banker Werner Gustav Kehl to the open door of the airplane and shot him in the back. Kehl, the 43-year-old father of three, dropped 12 feet to the tarmac and 10 minutes later was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead on arriv- al. The murder came after the three hijackers apparently felt they were tricked by a Tunisi- an radio announcement which had said the 13 Palestinian guerillas held in Cairo had been brought to Tunis. The guerillas had, in fact, not been brought here. The terrorists had said they would kill their hostages one at a time if the 13 were not released from confinement in Cairo. Five of the imprisoned guerillas were flown here earlier from Cairo, but they remained in a building near the control tower. There was no word on whether the hijackers were still demanding the release of the other eight. Tunisian sources said they were await- ing the arrival of two Pales- tinians imprisoned in the Netherlands since April for hijacking a British airliner to Amsterdam where they set it on fire. No Confirmation Tunisian authorities have said the Dutch government told them it would be pre- pared to release the pair, but there has been no confirma- tion of this from The Hague. The hijacking, which began on Thursday when the gun- men commandeered the airliner in Dubai on a flight from London to Singapore, has been decried by the Arabs as an attempt to embarrass Pales- tine Liberation Organization leader Yasir Arafat. The hijackers apparently were members of a splinter Farm Issues Highlight Iowa DOT Testimony (Continued: Page Cnl. 5) (Continued: Page .1. Col. 2) DBS MOINES (UPI) Charged with the "herculean" task of developing a state transportation policy, the department of transportation commission Saturday heard testimony at a day-long-hear- ing from about 30 groups and individuals seeking to help formulate that policy. Robert Rigler of New Hampton, commission chair- man, said the staff would carefully consider all testimo- ny in making modifications on 'a proposed draft before writ- ing the final report, due to Gov. Ray and the 66th general assembly when the legislature convenes in January. Movement of Goods Much of the testimony centered around a transporta- tion system that would move agriculture products from farm-lo-markct in the quick- est, most efficient and eco- nomical method possible. Harold Anderson of (ho Iowa Farm Bureau said "agri- culture needs an integrated transportation system to sup- port a two-way movement of goods and services." Ander- son said he was concerned about the poor condition of bridges and secondary roads in Iowa, the outmoded rail- road system and the deteriora- tion of facilities necessary for barge traffic on the Missis- sippi river. He suggested the DOT es- tablish a division which would give high priority to dealing with secondary road and bridge problems. Richard Hileman, executive vice-president of the Iowa Mo- tor Truck Assn., called for a regulatory commission within the DOT for trucks which carry the "farm-to-markel" products.

"Only in very recent years, say the lasl four to six years." said one hanker, "have there been job situations of any great number for women in our community that would provide them with a fairly in- dependent source of livelihood wherein they would need cred- it. "Girls were living at home or with other girls. Jobs wom- en worked at 10 years ago didn't pay like they do now. Women have a great deal more going for them in their1 ability to repay debt." There is some evidence thai' women are increasingly able to gel a cut of the action for themselves when it comes to ability to borrow money. A random survey by (lie Na- tional Assn. of Realtors on sin- gle women and home buying showed that single women in many purls of the country arc buying homes, condominiums, nnd investment property in increasing numbers According to a report from the U.S. Department nf Hous- ing and Urban Development single women last year bought more existing homes with Federal Housing Administration insurance than single men did. In 1970, 5.5 percent of exist- ing home mortgages went to single males, while 4.5 per- cent went to single females. Lasl year, the women bought 7.7 percent of the exist- ing home mortgages, and sin- gle males 7.3 percent. Although some bankers may try to deny it, credit has not always gone where it is due, as in the case of Lcta Sortor, 3840 Lennox avenue NE. "The first lime t tried lo got a loan for a house was in about 1957. I was turned down flat because I was a woman. "The bank told mo my in- come was adequate to support I he payments and they would have given the loan lo a married man with a family to support who had the same in- come. "Since I was a single wom- an, they told me they couldn't loan me the she said. "They told me this outright, just as though it was a per- fectly reasonable thing which anybody could understand. "I didn't think it was very reasonable, of course." Miss Sortor sought a loan from another local bank and it was granted without any problem. Three years ago, she wanted to buy another home and a loan was arranged at a third bank, at a lower than usual rate of interest, without any problem. "The second time around I had more assets behind she surmised as the reason (on receiving the loan so easily. "I Imagine the lenders have changed their tunes In the last 15 years. If they did torn yon down because you're a single woman now, they never would tell you said Miss Sor- tor. "They would have some other reason because the woman's movement is so strong now." Miss Sortor said the only credit problem she ever on- countered was her attempt lo get that first homo loan. Car loans and charge ac- counts were not difficult In ob- tain.

He made the request in a telegram to Arnold Miller, president of the UMW, and Nick Camicia, chairman of the Bituminous Coal Operators Assn. Earlier, Usery had avoided direct participation in the contract negotiations, saying it would be in the best interest of the nation and the coal industry if the 12-day-old strike could be settled without direct government interven- tion. In his telegram to Miller and Camicia, Usery said: "This work stoppage has brought an adverse impact upon the entire nation, and the condition grows more serious with each passing day."

Astros Set To Announce Transfer Of Ownership From McLane To Jim Crane
Published May 16, 2011
FINALLY GETTING THE CALL: In Houston, David Barron noted for the last three years, Crane "has gone down swinging in an effort to buy his way into baseball -- a tentative deal in 2008 to buy the Astros that fell through and unsuccessful bids" for the Cubs in '09 and the Rangers last year. Unlike McLane, who "was a novice at the traditions and intricacies of baseball when he bought the Astros, Crane already has a mind for the game and, 40 years ago, had the skills to play it successfully" (HOUSTON CHRONICLE, 5/15). Proskauer Rose is "taking the lead representing Crane on his negotiations with McLane to purchase the Astros, the latest in a string of major sports deals" for the law firm (AMLAWDAILY.com, 5/14).
TIME TO HANG 'EM UP: McLane yesterday said, "It's time for me to move on to something else." He said that he "has plenty to keep him busy." McLane plans to "focus this next chapter of his life on charitable works and various projects with Baylor University, Scott and White Clinic, etc." In Houston, Richard Justice writes, "But nothing he does is going to put him on stage the way baseball has. ... Through the years, McLane has garnered praise and criticism, and he has taken both in stride. As far as I know, he has returned every phone call and attended every news conference. He has been there when times have been really good and when times have been really bad" (HOUSTON CHRONICLE, 5/16). Justice wonders, "Will we remember good Drayton or bad Drayton? Years from now, we surely will appreciate that he gave us some special memories and put the Astros in a better place in terms of being able to win in the future" (HOUSTON CHRONICLE, 5/16).

Loved the design on this ring and it's so gorgeous to wear at an affordable price.Read More
Love thus ring. It was a sister ring and she loved it also. I used it as a thumb ring, it didn't break me out at all.Read More
Too shiny!
Because the ring is so shiny, it resemble more of a steel quality than siver. The rose was also puttied onto the ring and fell apart after the first week of wearing it.Read More
Very Pretty
I ordered this ring because it was in my size (have fat fingers) and silver (my favorite). It is very pretty and I wear it at least once a week.Read More
Love this rose ring! It does run a size large, so I ordered a 6 instead of 7 but it fits perfectly! And it is actually a more stunning version of rose rings that I have seen on other sites. Recommend it!! Looks beautiful on the finger!Read More
pretty but workmanship could be a bit better
Overall, the ring looks almost exacty like the photo. However, the workmanship could be a bit better. Mainly, you can tell where the silver was soldered together. That isn't a problem if its on the back of the ring but mine is on the petal on the right of the ring - therefore, it is apparent. The shipping was quick and the size fits. Would have been a 5 if the workmanship was better.Read More
not bad but not great
The rose is a nice size, but doesn't look as great as I thought it would. It's little bit too flat and from afar it looks like a spiral or a coiled snake. The leaves would be nicer if they were not placed on top of the rose, but sideways. I'll wear it with a simple ring side by side to tone it down a little bit.Read More
kiss from a rose
this ring is gorgeous! I have gotten a lot of compliments on it and I love it! the only flaw is that the leaf/stem part of it gets stuck on clothes and stuff sometimes but other than that, its great!Read More

I just received my ring today and I absolutely love it. The online picture does not do it justice. The oddity of it caught my attention; and I fell in love with it instantly.

Local Sydney Electricians – how to avoid the shock of call out prices
Local Electrician Services
Most modern homes will rely on electricity as their main source of power, and if things were to ever go wrong then the results are often very inconvenient at the very least. That's where hiring a local electrician's services can really help, and they can all but guarantee to get your home or appliances back in working order within delay.
When looking for a local electrician, there are a few things to bear in mind. The first is that they should be reliable and able to attend your home at a time to suit you. No one likes to wait around for a service provider, only to receive a phone call cancelling their booking for one reason or another. A reliable electrician should be available via phone or email, willing to visit your home at an agreed time and most importantly; happy to help.
The second thing to look for in your electrician is a friendly attitude. Awkward silences and unwanted conversations can often be the bane of a home owner, and allowing a stranger in to their home to do some work is worrying enough. Your local electrician services should provide an electrician who is friendly, polite and professional at all times.
Affordability is the next thing to consider, as no one enjoys wasting money if it's avoidable. One of the greatest things about finding an electrician is that there will be plenty to choose from, so the competition is often quite fierce for your employment. This means that the majority of electricians will provide competitive quotes and fair prices, which will save you both time and money.
Electricity is dangerous, so ensuring that your electrician has the experience required to fulfil the task is of paramount importance. Fortunately, all qualified electricians will have had to undergo a strict training module before obtaining their qualifications. There may be instances where an electrician's experience far outweighs their qualifications, and this is usually the case with the older generation of professionals. Never eliminate these electricians from your search as they will often be the most capable individuals available, with knowledge that outshines any college education.
The final thing to look for in your local electrician is the ability to communicate. Everyone's heard horror stories where a home owner has had to overpay for a service that they didn't agree too, and this is quite off-putting in itself. Your electrician should clearly communicate to you what's going on, what they are doing and why they are doing it. That way, you can trust that they are taking care of necessary tasks, without worrying about being taken advantage of. If your local electrician meets all of the above criteria, then don't hesitate to book their services.
Security Systems for Gyms – Acess Control
Security Systems for Gyms
It's more important now than ever to ensure the security of your gym as innovative technology takes the lead in modern society. It's no secret that businesses in every sector are feeling the need to update systems across their companies, from billing to access control systems, as the management of multiple software, platforms and databases becomes a daily struggle. Security systems are consistently failing gyms as staff are stretched to their limits and piggybacking issues are on the rise, so what kind of security systems for gyms should you be looking at to keep you up-to-date and to ensure the security of your customers?
Anti-Tailgating Devices
Anti-tailgating devices work in areas where key and card security systems are failing. It's no secret that unauthorized users can gain access to restricted areas by following behind an authorized user, so implementing an anti-tailgating device will simply stop these people from jumping through your entryway. Many gyms are already equipped with small mechanical turnstiles, so you get the idea. Other anti-tailgating device options are:
- Mechanical turnstiles in full height options
- Security revolving doors
- Optical turnstiles
- Individual doorway anti-tailgating devices
Video Analytics Systems
A video analytics system consists of a set of video cameras that are installed around problem areas to fully monitor their security. These cameras are linked up to a computer system that houses specialized software which works to detect and analyze the information that is picked up by the cameras. The most advanced of these systems can detect the precise proportions of a person or an object, and subsequently the direction in which they are traveling. These can be used to monitor access to single door areas, as well as for larger security portals when high traffic areas are in the most need.
Gym Management Systems and Specialized Security Software
As mentioned above, managing the daily workings of a gym can be complicated to say the least as staff are required to use many different platforms to run the premises. It can be both costly and time consuming to run separate systems to keep your gym going, so gym management systems and specialized security software could be the easiest solution.
Specialized security software can work to integrate your digital information. This means that your staff could easily gain access to member information, 24 hour security services and billing software all on one operating system. The most comprehensive gym management systems even integrate web-enabled software that can feature a user-based platform for entry, to negate the need for proximity cards and key fobs.
It may be worth it to bear in mind that at some point nearly all gyms will need to utilize the internet and web-enabled software, to keep up with the changing times and to compete with other businesses in the area. See more at alarm companies like AlarmInnovations in Bribane.Read More

Misaligned Pipes – Plumbing Solutions
Misaligned Pipes
If you've noticed a leak or rupture in your pipe work, then it could be down to any one of several reasons. A leaky pipe can often lead to further problems down the line that range in severity, from minor water damage to your home or garden, all the way to extreme liquid build up that can collapse foundations. Although the latter is an extreme instance, it is still an occurrence that takes place a few times a year around the world.
The most common cause for a leaky pipe is a loose fitting. Although many pipes will run in relatively straight lines to transport water and liquids to their destination, most pipe systems will rely on corners and angles to help them with their journey. It's typically these corner fittings that cause leaks and the main reason is either a misaligned pipe or a loose fitting. If you can access the pipe yourself then a simple fastening of the fitting will usually suffice, but for harder to reach spots or more complicated systems then it's a good idea to call your local plumber and have them take care of the pipe relining for you.
Another problem that can occur with pipes is cracking. Both plastic and metal pipes can suffer with this sort of damage, especially if they have been impacted by a blunt object. There are certain fillers that can help to seal a crack in a pipe, but these are usually only temporary and a longer fix may be required before too long. Pipe replacements can be tricky, so this is another job for your friendly plumber who will know what needs doing up on careful evaluation and then take care of the task for you.
Heat is another thing that can affect the alignment of a pipe system. Plastic and metal expands in extreme heat, while it retracts in colder temperatures so a constant switch between the two can often leave pipe seams misaligned which can result in leaking. Pipe relining can be a difficult task to tackle, especially if you don't have to tools to assist you so it's always a good idea to get in touch with a plumber for an evaluation of what needs doing and how.
If you are finding that your pipes are leaking because of a fault in their initial installation, then this might not be as simple to fix as the above instances. A pipe reline can take anywhere between a few minutes and several days or longer depending on severity, especially if the pipes are underground. The best thing to do in any instance is to get in touch with your local plumbing service and request a review.

Aerosol Spray Can Storage Cabinet Safety Requirements
Storing your Dangerous Goods Properly
The term dangerous goods covers a whole range of products, from sharp objects and tools, all the way to chemicals and toxins. These products are a factor in everyday life and can be used for a huge host of reasons, but how can you make sure that your items are stored safely and kept out of harm's way? Well that's where dangerous goods storage cabinets come in very handy.
For a start, they're available in a wide range of shapes and sizes, so whether you're planning on sealing away a full sized rifle, or hoping to store entire tubs of chemicals and poisons for pest control; your options really are endless. It's unfortunate to admit, but we've all heard horror stories about children and pets getting in to our cupboards and finding those hiding spots under the bed, only to be injured or killed after coming in to contact with a dangerous object or item.
Even the most secure cupboard can be accessed if the child knows where to look, and even the most well behaved dog can make its way in to a pot of rat poison hoping to find a hearty snack. That's why protecting our loved ones from these dangerous products is a priority and fortunately storage cabinets and containers are now widely available to help the growing consumer base.
All that you'll need to do to get started is decide on the right size of cabinet. It's always a good idea to buy a storage cabinet that is slightly larger than you actually need; just in case you decide to store any other items if your collection should ever grow. If you have a group of tubs containing rat poison for example, then choosing a cabinet with shelves that are high up and out of reach of small children should be a priority. You'll most likely find options to interchange your shelves so that you can modify their position and height if necessary, just be sure that your chosen cabinet has enough storage space to securely house your entire collection of dangerous goods.
So what if you are in need of a more specific dangerous goods storage cabinet that can be tucked neatly away out of sight? Well you'll be able to find those too, all with a great range of features and functions that may or may not be suited to your situation. One of the greatest things about these types of cabinets is that they are constructed to withstand impacts and still remain secure. You can even lock them up tight and rest assured that even a chemical leak will be contained within the walls of your cabinet.
Don't take the risk and expose your family and friends to a potentially fatal product; pick up your own dangerous goods storage cabinet today and rest assured knowing that your family will be safe and so will your goods.Read More
Latest Home Builder Ideas
Eco-Friendly Homes
With all of the concerns about global warming and environmental fingerprints, it's growing ever more important to econimize your home. That process has never been easier for new home builders than with TrendSetter Homes' eco-friendly projects. From solar powered panels, to power savings electrical equipment, you can rest assured that your home will play a great role within the environment, while suiting you perfectly.
So how can you make sure that your home remains as eco-friendly as possible? Well there are a few options that are worth considering. The first and most popular is with solar panels. These panels are easily installed and can be placed out of sight so as not to detract from the aesthetic of your home. By installing solar panels, you can rely on the sunlight during the day to provide power to your electrical appliances, which can even go as far as to heat your water for showers and baths in the evening.
Another great eco-friendly option to consider is to replace all of your traditional bulbs with power saving ones. Typical bulbs will usually operate on anywhere between 40 and 120 watts of energy. Power saving bulbs however can operate on as low as 11 watts of energy, meaning that even 10 of them can be the equivalent of using one high powered light bulb. These are also available in a range of styles to suit your home, so you'll never have to worry about detracting from your house's appearance.
One of the most popular ways for people to save energy is to use power saving appliances. From extension cables to low-powered kettles, you're guaranteed to find an amazing appliance at an affordable rate. At TrendSetter Homes, we ensure that all of our plug sockets and connections are universally compatible with appliances and pieces of hardware, so whether you intend to economise every room of your home, or just particular areas such as your garden or garage; you'll never have to worry about a product being unsuitable. If you're ever unsure, we can advise you on the best plan of action too.
If you're really keen to make your home as eco-friendly as possible, it's also a great option to have an irrigation system installed. These systems work by controlling the flow of water within pipes, which won't just reduce the risk of water damage in the long run; it will also save you money and decrease energy waste.
One of the greatest things that a new home buyer can do is to have their home personalized to suit their needs. If you find that you're struggling to come to a decision, or if you'd like to find out more information about our services, simply get in touch with us at TrendSetterHomes http://trendsetterhomes.com.au/ and our friendly team of advisors would be more than happy to help you in any way that we can.Read More
High-Rise Building Design
High-Rise Building Designhttp://skghoshassociates.com/
For the full recording:
The structural design of high-rise building design is complex, multifaceted and often requires the utilization of high-end analysis and design software tools. Following the philosophy of 'never run a program without first knowing the answer', this seminar presents 'hand tools' and rules of thumb for estimating the design and behavior of high-rise structures. Diverse structural system types are presented as well as comprehensive hand calculation methods to be able to understand the behavior of a high-rise structure. This practical approach will be convenient for both concept planning and checking the final computer output. A special segment on 'how to avoid pitfalls' presents common mistakes in laying out a high-rise structural system that can lead to major problems; this section can be critical in helping 'getting it right' the first time. In addition to information on lateral load resisting systems, the viewer will gain knowledge in floor system types, creep and shrinkage behavior/compensation, and an understanding of the intricate human response to the motions of high-rise structures.

Diesel Generator Back Ups For Property Development Projects
Backing up the Backup
As far as energy goes, most households will demand more and more as the years progress. With newer technologies being made available, not to mention a variety of electrical equipment dropping in price; it's becoming a lot more common for houses to require higher amounts of energy on a monthly basis. Most homes are connected to a power grid and if this grid suffers a power cut then a typical consequence is that all homes in the area will lose power. But there are alternatives to traditional electric power, and that's where diesel generators come in very handy.
Unlike electrical outlets, diesel generators run on diesel, and can be installed within any home or property. During power cuts, most people have to settle with a steady wait until the electrical repair is taken care of, but if a diesel generator is installed; the backup power supply can be triggered and a steady flow of power can be utilised until the electricity is back online.
The way that a diesel generator works is fairly straight forward. As fuel is its main power source, it doesn't need to be connected to an electrical grid and it can be installed to work in cooperation with any electrical power source within a home. When topped up with diesel, the generator can be set up to trigger (in cases of a power cut), or can be manually switched on and the generator will provide energy to all electrical outlets within a home or property.
As the generator will require diesel to operate, it's not uncommon for a replacement volume to be injected to ensure that the generator is able to run efficiently. As long as there is diesel present, the generator will be able to run, but there is another factor involved in its operation including the presence of an electrical outlet (sometimes referred to as an alternator).
This electrical aspect requires a source of electricity for power, and this source can be a battery which makes the generator very reliable during phases of power loss. If either the battery power or diesel run low, they can simply be topped up or replaced and the generator will continue its operation as normal. You can find out more at http://mpgen.com.au/ your local Sydney supplier.
Depending on the size and power output of the generator, the length of usage time will vary. It stands to reason that a larger generator capable of holding multiple gallons of diesel will far outlast a smaller one that could only provide enough energy to power a few light bulbs around a home, and depending on the requirement it's best to install the relevant size of diesel generator.
In most instances, a diesel generator is capable of providing energy to a home for hours, if not days on end before needing any form of replenishment. This in itself is what makes them so suitable for use during power cuts as they can be left to run whilst a home continues as normal during a blackout, and then simply be replaced by standard electricity once the power comes back on.Read More

Kneitinger Brauerei: the one thing not to miss
I must admit I didn't eat nor even drink a beer here. I did pop in to check it out and it's a bustling place full of locals and tourists alike. It's right in the center of town and pretty crowded at main hours. The Kneitinger Brewery has another outlet called the Kneitingerkeller up at Galgenberg-strasse 18. It's a bit away from where most tourists go but that's another reason I like it. It's also quite handy from the train station though a steep short climb! I've literally jumped out of a train on a short layover and made it up here for a few beers. So, why no photo of this great treasure you might ask? Well, I did take photos but the camera was lost in a Munich beer garden, along sadly with the film from the trip. At any rate, I have sweet memories as you can read in my General Tips. Suffice it to say, it's a classic old Bavarian restaurant/beer hall with dark wood paneling, some stuffed animal heads with horns, and chuck full of locals enjoying some of the regions finest brews. In summer, there is a nice beer garden to enjoy them under a shady chestnut tree. A must see!
Favorite Dish: Kasslerbraten is a smoky ham generally served with simple boiled potatoes and sauerkraut. We were lucky enough to be served this at their annual bock beer tapping festival and much to our surprise, it was free. I also had classic Regenburger sausages on a subsequent trip, which were tasty and quite inexpensive. Out in the beer garden, we enjoyed kalterbraten(5.80 Euros for a huge portion), a cold roast beef that goes perfectly with their great beers. Their helles or light lager is their most popular brew and certainly a thirst quencher that hits the spot on a hot day, but the dunkles or dark lager is the one to seek out. Though generously hopped, the bitter signature comes from roasted malt and makes a perfect accompaniment to German culinary treats well represented on their menu. Their bock beer comes out in November at which time there is a ceremonial tapping of the first keg. It's a joyous affair full of camaraderie and a great place to meet up with the friendly locals who are quite astonished that you found our about their coveted secret. The beer is a sublime nectar that both mocks and transcends their dunkles, chuck full of rich malt for density and strength but well hopped for a balance that makes it most quaffable.

Spitalgarten: betcha can't eat more than one
Spitalgarten may not be a true beer garden by Munich standards as you cannot bring your own food, nor are there self-service kiosks dolling out liter sized mugs of beer, but with ample and inexpensive food and a bustling atmosphere, it is surely more than a mere outdoor restaurant. With a fantastic view of Regensburg's skyline across the scenic Danube, the casual eatery offers up big leafy chestnut trees and wooden benches that beckon you to do more than just wolf down a meal in between sightseeing.
Favorite Dish: One thing to always keep an eye out for in Germany is the "tageskarte." This daily menu offers up the best value meal you can find for lunch. It's generally very filling, tasty, and a good accompaniment to beer. On this particular day, we had schwammerlbraten mit semmeknodel und salat. This is pork in a creamy mushroom sauce served with a bread dumpling and cold cabbage salad. At only 7.50 Euros, it would have been a bargain if served alone but it came with a half liter of your choice of house-brewed beer. The food was delicious and went perfectly with both the helles and dunkles beers on tap. The former was a fruity brew that dried out considerably in the clean bitter finish while the dunkles started out with a bitter coffee palate before an uncertain and somewhat disappointing finish. When you consider that most beer gardens in Munich charge close to 7 Euros for just a liter of beer compared to just 5 here, it is not such bad form that you can't bring your own food, especially when even that is quite reasonable.

Die Alte Wurstkuche: ok, perhaps a tourist trip but
This historic old restaurant is purported to be the oldest in Germany, clocking in at over 800 years old. It's obviously become quite a tourist attraction and on the blue dye rinse set tour, be it by bus or boat. It manages to not be engulfed by this madness and exudes some old world charm. With such early opening hours, it's easy enough to avoid the masses by having a breakfast of their famous Regensburger sausages before the boats dock or buses ramble into town. The inside is a bit cramped but there is a nice outside seating area where you can soak in the ambience of the flowing Danube.
Favorite Dish: Regensburger sausages are one of Germany's most coveted. Most Germans are strong proponents of their particular brand of sausage but Regensburg's variety draws raves from most. They go well with the Thurn & Taxis Pils, a rocky-headed straw colored brew that straddles the hop/bitter fence well into it's clean dry finish. You can buy the sausges in groups of two depending on how hungry you are and they are served with a basket of locally baked rustic rolls that you pay for per roll. It's reasonable but not as inexpensive as other less touristed places.

Klosterschenke Weltenburg: just a short boat trip away
This gem of a beer haven is not in Regensburg but well worth the pilgrimage to get here. Actually, many people make a pilgrimage out here and don't even drink beer. The monastery is quite a draw amongst older Germans but those in the know are quite aware that the monks make some divine beer too. The stone vaulted beer hall is atmospheric but we were there in summer so the beer garden was the place to sit. With the monastery as its backdrop, I was in beery heaven.
Favorite Dish: Before we toured the monastery, we sat down at a table beneath the chestnut trees and ordered a schweinebraten (roast pork) with knodel (dumpling) that went very well with their Barock Dunkle beer. This ruby brown treat has a frothy tan head and low carbonation, making it quite drinkable. The full bodied brew has a roast malt palate that becomes bittersweet in the finish. After checking out the monastery and before hoping on the boat back, we enjoyed the monks' special klosterkase (a spicy white cheese) that complimented their Asam Bock quite well. This very dark beauty has reddish highlights and a creamy dense tan head. There is licorice in the nose and the palate is full of dried fruit and malt but finishes with some roast in the surprisingly dry for the strength finish.

Hotel Bischofshof: a nice enough outdoor seating area for a brew
I can't say I was overly impressed by this place though I was amused by a group of young Bavarian guys who were obviously quite drunk and enjoying a day out from the farm in their lederhosen. It was a bit of an upscale place and since we had eaten and the food was on the expensive side (it is right next to the Dom), I got right to business. I was there for one thing only, to sample the beers of the Bischofs Brewery. It does have a nice enough outside seating area to take a break from sightseeing if you're in the mood for refreshment.
Favorite Dish: The Bischofs Original 1649 Hell was a golden beauty with a creamy head. Its fruity palate was dry for a helles beer with a distinctive floral hoppy nose and finish. The Pils was uncharacteristically fruity as well but very light in body as befits the style and the long dry bitter finish brings it back to form.

Cafe Prock: Cafe Prock
Cafe Prock is somewhere in the centre of the old city. Beside the normal good coffee it also have good selection of Bavarian cakes and other traditional pastries. Netta had very nice tasty strawberry cake, and what has left, I could finish.
Historische Wurstkuchl: Saugages + Chucrut
As far as I know (according with some brochures), this is the oldest restaurant in Germany which specializes in saugages.
Favorite Dish: "Sechs auf Kraut", wich means six saugages with chucrut: 6,50 $ (5,40 €) (Aug. '05)
Historische Wurstkuche: Historische Wurstkuche
OK, I must admit, I was here only for few hours and beside a small break at the coffee place I did not really check any restaurants here. Obviously I did not eat any sausage but I have been told that this place is the oldest place in Germany that selling sausages, so just take it to your attention.
Bischofshof Braustuben: Drinking Beer in a UNESCO Town
Regensburg is a beautiful city and well worth a visit if you are in Germany. One of the neat things about the city was we never heard an American voice except for the friends we met up with on our visit. If you have some extra time you can walk to the Bischofshof Brewery for a nice lunch or dinner (or a mid-day snack). Located outside the old part of the city, it will take you about 15-20 minutes to walk there but that should just whet your appetite.
It was a very hot summer day when we visited the brewery but the shade trees in their beer garden did a nice job blocking the sun and making the day bearable. The day was made a little hotter since we had trouble finding the place despite having a map and pretty much knowing exactly where it was. Our excuse: the road we were looking for is now a footpath for the first block and not marked.
Service was a little slow at first but we found out it was only the servers third day working there and she wasn't checking the beer garden very often. After she realized we were there it improved greatly. It was also interesting to have her look at our menus when we ordered since she wanted to make sure what we were actually ordering. Anyway, the food was good, the beer was okay and the place was nice. Worth a stop if you have the time and a good GPS.
Favorite Dish: You should try their "Zoigl" beer since it is the 1001 Beers to Taste before you Die book. It is a Kellerbier which I'm not that fond of and wasn't that fond of this one. However I can now check it off my list.

Spitalbräu: hausbrauerei
Always attracted by somewhere that brews their own beers, a Sunday lunchtime visit and lucky to find a table, it was extremely busy, we shared with another beer and food lover and a good chance for Mrs Bonio to practice her German.

Kneitinger: Authentic Regensburg
If you are looking for some authentic Bavarian cusine and excellent bock beer, come to Kneitinger, where according to their website you will find native Bavarians sitting next to Americans, artists next to entrepeneurs, and schoolkids next to retired people.
There is inside that is decorated in the traditional Bavarian manner and a less- formal glass-covered heated alley outside with large wooden benches.
Word of Warning: Don't try to take your food from the McDonalds across the street to the outside tables and don't try to order a coke. There is something in their charter that forbids them from selling any mass-produced products - or something like that.
This place is also a great place to people watch. Last time I was there, I saw a pretty funny domestic dispute which ended up in the wife tipping the table over on her husband.
Also, if you see my buddy Herbert, say hi to him for me (see pic). I met him there once when I was trying to practice my German and he decided to use me to practice his 'G.I. English' (whatever that was). Anyway, he gave me his picture for some odd reason???
Sushi am Dom: Great Sushi and friendly people
I like eating here because the sushi taste really good and it is always presented nicely, the people that have served us have always have been pretty friendly. Some of the waitresses speak English which is always helpful. I found a website that has a picture of the menu, i included it in my pics, it is in german but, you can figure it out, if not ask one of the english speaking waitresses
Favorite Dish: My favorite dish is the California rolls and the avocado Maki. My husband is more adventurous so he always orders one of the nigri platters.
Unter dem Linden: Bier at the end of a walk around the green belt ..
Good local food at reasonable prices especially lunch time.
Favorite Dish: Obatz'da is a brie cheese mixed with paprika and onions served with radi (a local speciality) and the local Zwickelbier from the Thurn und Taxis brewery.
