Detail Oriented
Today's kitchen and bath designers are well aware of the current trend away from heavy ornamentation toward a more streamlined look. In most American homes, however, consumers don't want stark, but rather a more streamlined space with a warm, uncluttered aesthetic.
To achieve this look, designers are turning to a wide range of decorative options, including mouldings, appliqués and corbels, to provide a custom look.
While decorative details made of wood, resin and other materials may not appear to fit in with a trend toward simpler designs, the reality is that many product manufacturers in this category are experiencing unprecedented growth. Improvements in the way cabinet manufacturers now work with these companies, as well as the extensive array of products and price points that have been introduced, have made this option much more attractive to designers than in years past.
According to Jamie Gibbs, principal, Jamie Gibbs and Associates, in New York, NY, several years ago, people were looking to add as many bells and whistles as they could to their kitchens. Unfortunately, the end result was often less than satisfying because these add-on products were not produced with the same finishing process as the cabinetry. "The materials used to make those bells and whistles were not particularly kitchen friendly," he explains. As a result, cleaners that were used to remove grease from cabinets took the finish right off of some of the embellishments, leaving cabinet companies to field complaints from unhappy customers.
Gibbs adds that "real cooks," as opposed to people who just wanted beautiful kitchens, were often put off by this. But now that cabinet and detail product manufacturers are working together, these items have garnered wider appeal.
"It's one of the reasons why manufacturers of ornamental details have seen a surge in business in the past few years," he explains. "They now supply a product that is not only user friendly, but is also, to a certain extent, cost effective."
And price was often an issue with millwork, as each added detail raised the overall cost of the room.
"Price drives a lot of things," comments Sherry Mitchell, IIDA, owner, Sherry H. Mitchell, in Jamestown, NC. "The more embellishment, the higher the price. All of those bells and whistles cost."
It's why many designers shop different companies so they can incorporate details even in designs that are lower in budget.
"While a client may only have a budget for stock cabinetry, I can order a set of corbels and have them installed underneath the stock hood, and all of a sudden it's a much more custom look," comments Mary Brennan, ASID, owner, M. Brennan Design Associates, in West Milford, NJ. "It's a very small investment that makes a really big impact."
Gibbs adds, "Everything comes with a sticker price, and I don't just mean the cost of the labor and the materials themselves. Sometimes, it's also the follow-up maintenance that adds to the cost factor."
Because of this, Gibbs stresses the importance of choosing a design and details that are in sync with the lifestyle of the customer.
"The fancy detail edges that the client just couldn't live without – the ones that look so beautiful in magazines – may not function with her lifestyle," Gibbs asserts.
"People show us photos from shelter magazines and say, 'this is what I want.' And this is where the kitchen and bath dealer gets into trouble," adds Gibbs. "When that kitchen or bath just doesn't hold up or doesn't function the way the person wants it to, they tell everyone that it is a bad design. But all the designer did was give the customer what she wanted."
Of course, some clients aren't as interested in function as they are in having an attractive design. Marc Rothenberg, owner, Westhampton Woodworks, in Westhampton, NY, who designs in a high-end area that acts as a weekend getaway spot, finds his clients don't want functional.
"The majority of the kitchens we do are Hollywood kitchens; they're like sets – nothing ever happens in them," he reports. "I tend to design things that are cookable, but people here don't want cookable. They want pretty. So, we give them pretty, but we try to make it functional, too."
To add function to the design and help justify the added expense of some of the decorative details, Gibbs now incorporates items such as storage columns into his designs. "I've placed columns with hidden storage into wet bar areas that can hold glasses or bottles of liquor," he states. "All of a sudden, the details become cost effective, and the customer has gotten the decorative detail she wanted."
"So, now people realize they can still have a beautiful kitchen and add details in places that are not going to affect the overall aesthetic qualities and usability of the space," he continues.
Personal Style
Many designers note that the number of design details they incorporate into a kitchen or bath design, as well as the type of ornamentation, is based on the style of the home.
"If the home is of a particular style, that's going to help me select which decorative details are going to help that flavor come alive," stresses Brennan.
"Sometimes you're looking to pick up on a very specific theme, and sometimes you're looking specifically for ways to pick up a very specific period look or a style. Using these add-ons are really great ways to do that," she adds.
Terry Berthold, ACSD, designer, Kitchen & Bath Gallery, in Roanoke, VA notes that he focuses on something architecturally, such as columns on the outside of the home, and makes that a focal point in the kitchen. "It's more of an architectural thing with me than a fancy approach," he notes.
Eli Yeshaya, owner, South Bay Kitchens, in Lomita, CA explains that his company chooses a theme for the kitchen, and then chooses the types of products and where to use them. "It all relates to the architectural theme that we have."
"Everybody's pushing the envelope," comments Mitchell. "We try to make the consumer happy, and also add a little bit of history to the architecture, especially in some of the newer homes."
Making the consumer happy is critical to the design process, and designers note that consumers are much more savvy and involved than they used to be.
"They see magazines and they have a lot of pictures of these carvings, and that's what they want," comments Berthold.
"People are much more outspoken lately with their requests," adds Rothenberg. The problem with those requests is that clients often walk in with a picture of a 30' square kitchen with corbels and posts and 12"-high mouldings. "They want their kitchen to look like that, but their kitchen is 8'x10' and they want to spend $9,000," he notes. "So, your design needs to fall somewhere in the middle, with a few details added into it."
Though this is a drawback, Rothenberg does encourage people to bring in photos of parts that they like. "It can even be a dresser, but if it has something they like, we'll see if we can work it into the design," he comments. "We actually encourage that rather than bringing in photos of entire kitchens, because generally when a person brings in an entire kitchen, it's not going to fit their space."
Cherie Storm, kitchen and bath designer, Island Woodcrafts Ltd., in Manteo, NC also encourages customer input. "I try to find out what style my customer likes, and then I try to incorporate as much detail into the kitchen without going overboard," notes Storm.
Design Interpretations
A favorite use for design details by current kitchen and bath designers is to incorporate products that will translate to a furniture look.
"I do inlays, rope mouldings, French legs – the small details such as bump outs in the cabinets with legs to make the cabinets look like a piece of furniture," says Storm.
Berthold adds that he also does legs on islands to make them look like tables or pieces of furniture.
Brennan notes that, when she's doing a custom piece for a client, such as a bath vanity, she likes to use hand-turned or hand-carved details to provide that furniture feeling. "It gives me the opportunity to design a carving specifically for that piece, and I might be able to echo a detail or a pattern I'm picking up from the fabric of a window treatment. It gives everything a very personalized, very custom detailed look."
Brennan just completed a project that was adjacent to the kitchen, where a straight run of autumn leaves was incorporated into the face of the fireplace mantel. "We used a fabric from the kitchen that featured a leafy pattern, and echoed it through the adjacent room," she comments. "It was a little unique," and tied the two rooms together.
The growing trend of Great Rooms and open-room designs that are centered around the kitchen is also creating a need for decorative detail, according to Gibbs. "Most people want a psychological barrier between the kitchen and this other room to define usage zones," he explains. As a result, "columns have become a big deal. Floor-to-ceiling pilasters are often used to define these usage areas."
Gibbs notes that detail is also significant when adding one of these oversized rooms onto a house. "How do you help that room integrate with the rest of the house? Functional detail – crown mouldings that match up to the rest of the house, high baseboards that match up to the tall baseboards from the original construction, door surrounds that have bulls eyes," he relates.
Crown mouldings are a clear favorite among designers, providing an elegant, built-in look.
"I like to go all the way up to the ceiling using cabinetry and crown moulding," comments Mitchell. "You get the most use of your vertical space that way."
Utilizing combinations of mouldings provides countless looks for the designer. Berthold notes that he did a design recently that featured 11 pieces of moulding. "If you have a 10-foot ceiling, instead of running the cabinets all of the way up, I'll do a lot of nice mouldings and details.
"I do a lot of stacked mouldings, as well as some columns," he adds, though he notes that he doesn't rely very heavily on carvings or corbels. "That can get a little gaudy if you use too much."
"The use of corbels would have to be minimal in a design," concurs Mitchell. "They're great integrated either on a peninsula or an island, or over the range."
"We use corbels to hold up countertops and for overhangs on countertops," reports Rothenberg. "We put most of the ornamentation, such as corbels and fancy mouldings, into hoods."
Brennan notes that decorative details can make a huge difference when doing partial renovations, as well. "I worked for a client who was not prepared to gut the kitchen and change out all of the cabinets," she explains. "All I had to work with was the island in terms of giving the room an entirely new look."
She used a pair of corbels on each end of the island, which acted as a major component of the overall look. "It gave the piece a real furniture-feel, and it wasn't a very big investment," Brennan states.
Simpler details are Yeshaya's most popular choices when using ornamentation. "The ones that are more generic speak to more people," he stresses. "The others are a little more specific, and can be too ornate."
Indeed, when using decorative details, it is often the small additions that make a big impact.
Brennan notes that she likes to incorporate foot details on cabinetry for kitchens and baths, because the looks are endless. "It's a small detail, but one that goes a long way," she explains.
"One of the houses I did had furniture baseboard on the island with rope inlay, because the doors are rope inlay doors," Storm explains. "It really pulls the look together if you find a style and elaborate on the smaller details."
"We also like to bump things out, such as sinks with angled flutes to create different dimensions going around the kitchen," Rothenberg states. "It gives the room a little more interest than just flat countertops going all the way around."
That interest is becoming more prevalent in the bathroom, as waterproof materials and pliability make details easier to work with in challenging spaces.
"You don't always have to do tile work in the bathroom," asserts Mitchell. Instead, she recommends using raised panels around the tub. "Mouldings can also be used a picture frames around mirrors…," she adds. "You can do a lot of beautiful applications."

I'd just like to say thanks for all the positive feedback. It's great to know that our work is appreciated.
And a big thanks to John Bridgman and all the folks at AMD who helped out. You know who you are.
In my country, there is no coolaid. So, if I prove you wrong, that would mean you are the one on "coolaid", so lets remove your pink glasses for good.
First of all, please study this thread.
Particularly, study later post where one user confirms how bad opensource driver performs on A8, confirming my expectations.
AMD APUs on opensource driver are 20 times slower, so slow that hardware-level slower Intel wipes floor with them.
This is the best fair result I can come up with:
AMD side can be improved - if you can find A8/A10 running 1920x1080, kernel 3.5 or any later radeon driver - POST.
Because 99% of AMD radeon supporters are catalyst consumers. In that case - better straight go nvidia, proprietary too, performed good for ages.
So much for opensource.
But no, many AMD users use AMD just because they love two half broken drivers and consider this state of permanent breakage to be optimal [Link].
Ok, but lets compare fairly - opensource vs opensource, should we? Radeon vs Intel on according hardware.
By the way, its nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find A8/A10 APU on opensource radeon on openbenchmarking, 99% results are fglrx
Don´t believe me - try!
No, I am not confusing anything. I choose NOT AMD, because open source is Intel and AMD is closed source.
Opensource AMD is inofficial, on not full documentation, inadequate support, inadequate performance.
This opensource is not far from nvidia, where documentation is added and few developers are present.
That said, I try to use only opensource. But only if its adequate in terms of software and RnD power.
Right now, it is not adequate. But I do appreciate what is happening today with one of AMD drivers.
As an argument to "AMD should hire 20-30 more opensource developers, which Intel already has" - yes, they can try.
"MURDERFY" - thats LOL.
On Intel its automatic. As it should be, no?
Answered by link above. Performance is below Intel.
I purchased already 3 Intel systems to run with opensource driver. They run bug-free, cool, out of the box and have good 3D. Like it should be, no, amd-fan?
Hope this answers "ahead" and "in ALL my wants".
Prove it then.
If you have AMD machine, do tests: Lightsmark, Xonotic (High) and OpenArena 0.8.8. Profile: 1920x1080.
Post profile result the result here so we can compare it to profile above, that covers HD2000,2500, 3000 and 4000.
Can use any kernel you want - I recommend 13.04, updated, with xorg-edgers, or oibaf, or stock - at your will. Because its fast and reliable result.
I have access to two Intel machines with specified configuration, one HD2000, other is HD3000.
I can test too and submit profile to compare to your configuration.
I'd just like to say thanks for all the positive feedback. It's great to know that our work is appreciated.
And a big thanks to John Bridgman and all the folks at AMD who helped out. You know who you are.
Has anyone had a chance to test with E series APUs?
Yes. twriter Thanks for getting this code out. You guys have done a fantastic job. If you guys keep up the good work it won't be long until we have all the features a desktop gpu driver should have.
@ brosis
Sure it is true that in many cases the OSS radeon drivers still underperform. However it is adequate to play every single game I throw at it at my monitors top resolution. If every game is playable at maximum resolution then what is the problem? I have a 4200 integrated GPU which I use primarily for watching movies and tv shows. And a 6850 discrete gpu which I use primarily for gaming. The 6850 using the OSS driver is awesome and does everything I want it to do.
Again if it does everything that it could do at a reasonable framerate then what problem is there?
I don't think HDCP has to be enabled in order to use HDMI (although I believe the *ability* to accept an HDCP-encrypted signal is an HDMI requirement).
We did run across a few displays back in the early days of HDCP which would only work if HDCP was enabled, but I haven't heard of that happening recently. Treat this as low quality information though, I'm just saying "I didn't hear anything like that in the hallway and usually I would hear about it if it was happening".
On the other hand now that I've moved down to the 3rd floor with the rest of the HSA team I don't hear anything except when Tim stops by

Guide to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of conditions from A to Z.
Hypopituitarism, also called an underactive pituitary gland, is a condition that affects the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland--usually resulting in a partial or complete loss of functioning of that lobe. The resulting symptoms depend on which hormones are no longer being produced by the gland. Because the pituitary gland affects the other endocrine organs, effects of hypopituitarism may be gradual or sudden and dramatic.
Symptoms vary depending on what hormones are insufficiently produced by the pituitary gland. The following are common symptoms associated with reduced production of certain hormones:
Insufficient gonadotropins production(luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone)
In premenopausal women, this leads to absent menstrual cycles, infertility, vaginal dryness, and loss of some female characteristics. In men, this deficiency leads to impotence, shriveling of testes, decreased sperm production, infertility, erectile dysfunction, and loss of some male characteristics.
Insufficient growth hormone production
This usually produces no symptoms in adults. However, it can cause loss of bone density and loss of muscle mass in adults. In children, this deficiency can lead to stunted growth and dwarfism.
Insufficient thyroid-stimulating hormone production
This usually leads to an underactive thyroid and may cause confusion, cold intolerance, weight gain, constipation, and dry skin.
Insufficient adrenocorticotropin hormone production
This rare deficiency leads to an underactive adrenal gland, resulting in low blood pressure, a low blood sugar level, fatigue, and a low tolerance for stress.
Insufficient prolactin production
This rare deficiency may cause an inability to produce breast milk after childbirth in some women.
The symptoms of hypopituitarism may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your doctor for a diagnosis.
Causes of hypopituitarism can directly affect the pituitary gland, or indirectly affect the gland through changes in the hypothalamus.
Causes of primary hypopituitarism (directly affecting pituitary gland)
Causes of secondary hypopituitarism (affecting the hypothalamus)
Pituitary tumors
Inadequate blood supply to pituitary gland (stroke)
Infections and/or inflammatory diseases
Sarcoidosis. A rare inflammation of the lymph nodes and other tissues throughout the body
Amyloidosis. A rare disease which causes the buildup of amyloid, a protein and starch, in tissues and organs
Radiation therapy
Surgical removal of pituitary tissue
Autoimmune diseases
Head trauma
Genetic diseases
Tumors of the hypothalamus
Inflammatory disease or a disease that spreads, such as cancer
Head injuries
Surgical damage to the hypothalamus and/or blood vessels or nerves leading to it
Symptoms of several underactive glands may help a doctor diagnose hypopituitarism. In addition to a complete medical history and medical examination, diagnostic procedures for hypopituitarism may include:
Computed tomography (CT or CAT scan). A noninvasive diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of X-rays and computer technology to produce horizontal, or axial, images of the body to detect any abnormalities that may not show up on an ordinary X-ray.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A noninvasive procedure that produces two-dimensional views of an internal organ or structure.
Blood and urine tests. These tests will measure various hormone levels.
Treatment of hypopituitarism depends on its cause. The goal of treatment is to restore the pituitary gland to normal function when possible, or to replace or substitute for inadequate hormones when necessary.
Treatment may include replacement hormone therapy, surgical tumor removal, and/or radiation therapy.

When it comes to Unigine Corp and their first-class multi-platform game engine, as of late we've mostly been talking about them when it comes to their OilRush game, but there's more going on beyond just that. In fact, there's a small game now shipping that is powered by the Unigine Engine...
i don't get it ,.,, why not support android for that game or linux??
this game show perfect for an android smart-phone..
The good about unigine is that even if games will be released without linux 'clients', wine will be able to run them without performance loss by using unigine opengl backend (?)
What a disturbing little game... what the hell is that irritating popping sound whenever the main character is walking? It must be a "stepping" sound but it doesn't even correspond to the animation. And why are all the characters doing back-flips all the time? What's wrong with them?? And finally, what's the deal with that monkey-type creature following the main character all the time? It doesn't do anything! It just goes wherever the main character goes and stares at it... scary...
If you don't love this video,you are probably not the target audience for the game.
0.62 oilrush has a mac version available for download.
Yeah, everyone is gonna pre-order a game that is called "OilRush". Sounds so catchy. It's right up there with "SodaSweep" and "CoalMine."As of this morning, Unigine Corp has just sold 1429 pre-orders of their game, which has brought the company just a little over $24k USD.
Oil Rush: Continuously promising/lying about release dates is highly annoying for game companies to do, especially for those who dared to pre-order this game from this unknown/untested/untrusted company.
This game: There are tons of crapware games pumped out all the time that you will never hear about, and this looks like yet another one based on the seeming lack of anything interesting happening, but maybe I just don't have the whole picture. That, plus the constant loud walking sound, and the annoying follower constantly getting in the way with their body and massive question mark. Seriously, this game seems it could use some major, major overhauls in almost every department before it became a fun game, because walking around a city collecting coins and cards doesn't strike me as riveting. It's like Super Mario Galaxy, except with no platform gameplay to challenge you. In other words, if that's basically the extent to this game's gameplay, this is indeed going to be crapware.

Future Plans
With new technologies springing up seemingly almost every day, manufacturers of reprographic online plan rooms are facing ever-increasing competition. Another hurdle to overcome is that some reprographers do not use the technology to its full potential.
Wide-Format Imaging asked several manufacturers to discuss their plan room upgrades, how best to use their plan room, and what lies ahead.
How have you upgraded your online plan rooms?
Jay Magenheim, president, Ideal Scanners and Systems, Rockville, MD: We've made it easier and more economical than ever before for reprographers to set up and maintain an IDEAL PlanRoom. We now offer fast, remote installation (no need for a tech to come on site) and annual software maintenance agreements that include software updates.
Getting a digital solution up and running quickly and economically is important for reprographers who are looking for ways to replace printing income lost with the downturn in the economy. The recession has forced the construction industry to find ways to reduce printing costs like never before.
The biggest competitors to the reprographic industry these days are FTP sites used by general contractors to download drawing files to subs. The files are then printed locally on wide-format inkjet printers. In some cases, online takeoffs are performed. Unfortunately, with FTP sites, general contractors (GCs) lose control of who has downloaded drawings, so they have no way to ensure that their best subcontractors obtained the drawings. With FTP there is no control that disallows competitors of the GC to download a project.
By offering construction customers a low-cost digital plan room that offers permission-based digital downloads, maintains logs of who downloaded, and enables bid management and quick delivery of bid notifications and revisions, reprographers can recoup lost revenue while enabling their construction clients to save money on printing and maintain control of their bid process. Thus, a low-cost IDEAL PlanRoom becomes a win-win for both reprographers and their construction customers.
Kevin Rowe, CIO, MySmartPlans, Kansas City, MO: We built MySmartPlans from a radically different perspective. MySmartPlans isn't an online plan room; it is a project-specific application that incorporates many tools, including project repositories that replace the online plan room functionality. With MySmartPlans we ensure that everyone on the project is looking at the same information at the same time, from their desktop not an online plan room. If I'm a project manager, that is huge.
Most plan rooms haven't changed much at all—upload, download and send to the print department. In fact, there are many that development has been stopped, including several very large systems with a large install base. MySmartPlans currently is running a $40-million dollar project. The information has changed 44 times and we have 511 concurrent users. The information is instantly usable from our dashboard—no downloading file after file, no having to organize it on their desktops, etc. MySmartPlans becomes the projects' communication technology. We also have five other print companies listed from which dashboard users can order the paper. We want to print for them, but we don't have to.
David Stickney, vice president corporate communications, American Reprographics Company, Walnut Creek, CA: The logistics capabilities of plan rooms are starting to take a lead role in the list of benefits that flow to our customers. We've added several complementary technology applications to our portfolio that allow our customers to move documents around their offices, around their companies and around the world.
Amanda Schoonover, account manager, Lynn Imaging, Louisville KY: Online plan rooms are becoming a more significant resource to the architectural and construction industry.
At this point, the online plan room has become more than just accessing information online to the average user. In addition to posting project information and details, digital services have been developed with advanced communication tools, reporting logs and security features that enable a customer to track plan-room activity such as users' interests, orders and profiles. Also, customizing the services to the individual user preferences, providing more specific permissions-based accessible user rights, and managing, controlling and searching project documents are all being developed with more robust options that can be administered at the reprographer level as well as the user level.
While the online plan room for the reprographer began largely as a means of information dissemination, it is now a tool that affects the entire project life cycle for each project team member, thus involving a more intricate role of the reprographer than ever before.
Are print providers using plan rooms to the best of their capabilities? If not, how can they be used better?
Magenheim: Most reprographers are using the plan rooms to maintain an old-school business model of print-for-pay. Most in the repro industry are not training their customers to pay for the value of digital documents combined with the related services that a plan room can provide. One solution is a subscription-based plan room with a monthly charge based on the number of drawings and a ceiling on the number of downloads. I've found that once a contractor understands the benefits associated with an online plan room, he's more than willing to pay the monthly subscription fee.
Rowe: Print providers will not be successful until they quit trying to protect the printing! Customers don't like it and it's the wrong way to keep business. We saw the color labs try the same tactic years ago—provide the best solution, control the information because you have the best solution. With today's pricing being so brutal, the profit derived from printing is marginal. Without digital fees, our companies will become extinct. There are pockets of success, but they are the exception not the rule.
Stickney: There are huge portions of our customer base that still don't use online plan rooms at all, or certainly not to their full capacity. Repro firms need to be doing a better job marketing the benefits of these tools to their customers to help increase adoption. In some ways, the recessionary environment is the ideal time to do so—our clients need to do more with less, and that's the foundational value of any digital app.
Schoonover: Not all print providers are using online plan rooms. For those who are, there are certainly varied levels of knowledge and skill sets to implement this type of technology, due to the varied complexity of online plan rooms available. One of the most important attributes to optimizing plan room resources and revenue streams is to assess the needs of the customer and the market trends accurately. However, in every market, key opportunities exist to simply reduce your customer's headaches resulting from the daily administrative tasks of maintaining and distributing hard copy and electronic information. Maintaining, or providing the tools to maintain, digital address books, plan holders and bidders lists, current plan sets, and user activity, at a minimum, reduces the customer's liability, stress, clerical needs and overhead costs, and time spent answering questions.
Can you provide a specific example of someone using a plan room to the best of its ability?
Magenheim: As contractors begin to understand what capabilities are available they begin to broaden its use. For instance, they and their subs can view drawings anyplace that they have access to a web browser. They can use tablet PCs to email red-lines and edits to work crews. In this way, the plan room becomes more than just a substitute for a paper drawing. It becomes integrated into the daily workflow of the construction team.
On-site tablet PCs are the biggest growth opportunity. Our plan room—with its thin client viewer—is uniquely suited as a companion product to ruggedized tablet PCs together with cheap cellular data plans. With modern-day demands for green construction, an IDEAL PlanRoom can help contractors meet their green requirements.
Rowe: I can provide about 102 clients who routinely use our technology to mange project information. McDonald's, Turner Construction, HCA Hospitals, Skanska, and JE Dunn have found great value in our solution, and we proudly charge for our solutions. We currently have one project in house that will generate double six-figures upon completion. Why? Because we handle a myriad of pieces of document information that is required on a project, not just plans and specs. In fact, those pieces are the easiest to handle. MySmartPlans currently has over 6,000 users nationwide.
Stickney: If reprographers are looking to make the argument for plan rooms in the most compelling way, they simply need to point to the bid process and how customers can leverage the document repository function into the communication and logistics process. Our best customers regularly use the ability of PlanWell or Sub-Hub to not only store the documents and keep them up to date, but to cut bid times by at least 50 percent if not more. They do so by using the ITB broadcast functions, direct-plan ordering capabilities, digital downloads and distribution of plans, and tracking responses to ITB's. The bid phase is where plan rooms can most explicitly and dramatically prove their mettle.
Schoonover: The use of a plan room and its range of available functionality can be applied in all phases of the project life cycle. An example of a plan room being used to the best of its ability, arguably, is in a traditional bid phase utilized by the construction manager or architect. The bid phase typically involves a relatively brief window of time for contractors to review, prepare and submit their bid. The reprographer is charged with managing the dissemination of thousands of documents and files in a time-sensitive environment, ensuring 100 percent consistency and accuracy of all information to all bidders. In this example, the online plan room is a fundamental approach to communicate project scope, addenda releases, bid date changes, up-to-date bidders list and status, and 24/7 online viewing and ordering capabilities for those who work in the field all day.
What can we expect next with plan room technology?
Magenheim: As plan rooms become more integrated in the day-to-day operations of the construction process, a natural outgrowth will be to use the plan rooms to archive drawings throughout the life cycles of buildings and properties, thus extending the digital convenience and green consciousness well into the future. A well-designed digital plan room can become the sustainable business model for the next generation of reprographers.
Rowe: I believe there will be a migration to a different set of tools and technologies other than straight online repositories. Plan rooms have been around 10 years and are still eclipsed by paper and FTP sites. There are technologies that provide a whole different experience level for the users. The distribution of the information isn't about it being easy for the reprographer; it's about being easy for the end user. Clients don't want to pay you to organize your shop, they need results.
Stickney: Plan room evolution is going to have to embrace the increasing use of 3D information in BIM, match the needs for integrated project delivery workflows, and incorporate features that leverage document use into project management, project scheduling and project costing.
Schoonover: Plan room technology will become more and more popular as the reprographics industry slowly transitions from paper to digital services, as a response to the industry it serves. The technology will naturally become more user-friendly, intuitive and customizable for its users.
Online plan rooms will become an integral part of the project life cycle providing customers with more project management tools, static contact management features, external software plug-ins for workflow integration, and in-office print-on-demand solutions, ultimately increasing the prevalence and acceptance of digital information and digital file distribution achieved through the online plan room.

The rain has followed the Nationals from D.C. to Citi Field.
NEW YORK — Hey, what do you know? It's raining! Haven't seen much of this lately, have we? The good news is that it appears there's a window of clearing from about 7-9 p.m., enough that they should at least start tonight's game between the Nationals and Mets. Whether there's enough time to finish it remains to be seen.
If they do play, the Nationals will be facing left-hander Jon Niese, not right-hander Dillon Gee as originally announced. The Mets also were rained out last night and decided to push everyone in their rotation back a day. So Niese goes tonight, with Gee in tomorrow's scheduled series finale.
Tom Gorzelanny starts for the Nationals, hoping to revert back to the top form he displayed in back-to-back starts earlier this month (as opposed to the less-than-spectacular form he showed last time out against the Marlins).
If you didn't see the earlier post, Mike Rizzo said on ESPN-980 AM today that Bryce Harper will not reach the big leagues this season, quashing any hope you may have had for that.
Plenty of updates to come from here at Citi Field, including weather updates, so check back often…

Ha Ha I agree with Rizzo that Harper isn't ready yet — but I ask: La Roche is ready? Drop this Defense only one-handed, slower than slow swinging sissy to the 8th spot. And bat him 9th when Jason and Livan are pitching.5th tonight — Riggleman, are you losing sleep yet over PC decisions? La Roche 5th — you don't deserve to manage professionally — girls softball maybe?

Dont worry, Sam. Since they're not playing the Pirates, they'll get this game in, even it takes until the curfew.
- Tcostant - May 18, 2011 at 8:02 PM
I love Rizzo's double talk. In one breath he says Harper won't play in the bigs this year. Yet later he says that is development will dictate where he plays. Which is it? Of course the answer is the former, but only because he doesn't want the arbitration / free agent clock to begin ticking. The soonest we see Harper in the bigs, is early May; no matter how he does. I'm not saying I disagree with this plan, just that what was said was contradictory.
- Grandstander - May 18, 2011 at 8:05 PM
Nice to see Morse back in the lineup. He was starting to heat up before he hurt his knee and has looked much better at the plate recently. I'd really like to see him put together a couple of nice games.

Mark, when does Ankiel come off the DL and what moves will the team make. Bernie and Nix have got to be here to stay, right?In point-of-fact … probably not. Rizzo was also asked about this on the radio spot today and his answer was that they felt that Bernadina had the tools and makeup to be an everyday player. He would play every day.What that means is that if Riggleman decides to start Ankiel Bernadina returns to Syracuse where he would likely start in CF every day. Moving Bernadina to left and Ankiel to center would be a disaster as there is absolutely NO OFFENSE coming from the corner infield positions. And that too you can lay on Riggleman. Three guys who really can't hit at this point due to age, injury or lack of talent: Ankiel, Hairston, and LaRoche in the lineup is asking for the worst record in the majors.

I heard a great thing said by Jim Bowden (who I don't like at all) today on MLB Radio…In essence he said that if he had veteran, established players that were struggling early on, he'd tell them, "I feel sorry for the pitchers who are going to see you the next few weeks." the player would ask "Why?" and Bowden would say, "Because, statistically, you're gonna be making up for your slow start in the next few weeks, and you'll end up with stats on the back of your baseball card just like you do every year. Those pitchers you're facing in the next few weeks are going be sorry they're facing you."That's what I'm thinking/hoping with Werth and LaRoche.
- phil dunn - May 18, 2011 at 11:21 PM
Watch out for Ronny Paulino who has been a Nats killer with his bat over the years, both when he was with the Pirates and with the Marlins. He hits the Nats pitching much like Raul Ibanez does.
- A DC Wonk - May 18, 2011 at 11:25 PM
Tim — I sure hope so. But that's what everyone kept thinking about Austin Kearns . . . until he ended the entire year batting .219 — he never did turn it around that year. I sure hope that's not the case with these guys this year . . .
- Grandstander - May 18, 2011 at 11:33 PM
If you send Bernadina to Syracuse, you no longer have a leadoff man. I'm not sure why they're they're trying so hard to work Ankiel back into the lineup. They were vocal about his lack of production before he hit the DL. They went out and Blanco to take Bernadina's spot in Syracuse. Ankiel is a 4th outfielder/defensive replacement if he's anything.
- Sec3MySofa - May 18, 2011 at 11:39 PM
I'm inclined to agree with Grandstander there, and I liked the Ankiel signing. Apparently, Riggleman wants Roger at leadoff, too.

FP called that Hairston at-bat perfectly with the infield back. Personally I thought they were not going to give him anything hittable with the pitcher coming up.Another early missed opportunity after Morse got his double and Espi made an effective sac bunt.

I agree if it was Hairston or the pitcher's spot up. But with Morse already in scoring position, I think you have a better chance of scoring with Espi hitting away. i'm a Rigs defender but I do think he gives away too many outs, especially early in games.

- masnstinks - May 19, 2011 at 12:21 AM
Bernie has really added a spark, not just in the outfield — "the catch", but on the bases, bunting for a hit – so many things that Ankiel just does not provide. But – the manager and the fo seem to really have man-crushes on Ankiel. I remember it being that way with Manny Acta and Austin Kearns. So frustrating.

In my opinion on the Desmond bunt with Bernadina on base, Murphy took a huge chance going to 2nd. It worked for the Mets but easily could have been 2 on with no out.
- Anonymous - May 19, 2011 at 1:00 AM
Bernadina was playing too shallow there … is it the rain or was he pulled in by Riggleman? He hasn't had a good game in the field and it looks like the rain has affected him. Gorzelanny put his heart out there … its really a shame …
- Anonymous8 - May 19, 2011 at 1:01 AM
So Bob and FP are saying how great it is for Riggles to let Gorzo qualify for the win and BAM, 3-0 lead.The Managers toughest job is knowing when to pull a pitcher. Gorzo is lucky he was facing an injury depleted Mets because this could have been 6-0 as easily as it could have stayed 1-0.

Ankiel is a 4th outfielder/defensive replacement if he's anything.Yep… And PH and PR…. Plenty to keep Ankiel busy. We just don't need him starting, right now…That's up to Riggleman. If Riggleman decides Ankiel starts then Bernadina goes back to the minors to play every day … because that's what Rizzo meant when he was asked this. He said Bernadina has the tools and make up to play every day and that's what they want him to do. The problem is both he and Ankiel can't play every day. And making Ankiel a corner outfielder would make what is already a pretty pathetic lineup even more so.

How low does a batting average have to be that good defense is not enough to make up for the lack of hitting ?Well first its beside the point. The guy is clearly and obviously HURTING! And this is hurting LaRoche's career and reputation. He has to have offense to be a viable starting first baseman in this league. Its not like they are heading for the playoffs or god forbid the world series? This team can barely get out alive playing the deteriorating Mets club!!! WTF!!! Is Morse that bad?To answer your question: Nick Johnson was clearly a great first baseman fielding-wise. Do you think that's why they kept inserting him in the lineup after every injury? Or was it his excellent hitting and high OBP? This is silly and its pretty disgusting.

He did that for years with Mark Belanger. Not apples to apples but teams sometimes conceded offense for defense at SS 40 years ago and I think Cal Ripken changed that mindset.Adam Dunn was probably the opposite case and lucky they have a DH in the AL although he is hovering on the Mendoza himself right now.

you may be wondering what a .179-hitting, slick-fielding first baseman is worth. Well, according to baseball-reference.com, LaRoche's WAR is 0.2. According to Fangraphs.com (which uses a different formula), it's -0.2. Either way, advanced stats say LaRoche's glove has pretty much made up for his bat. ________________________________Plus you keep waiting for LaRoche to break out. I liked the idea of pushing him back further in the order, like to the 9 hole when Jason Marquis is pitching!!!!

I am sorry if you really think a question that I was applying to not just LaRoche but anybody since the whole team is mired in this lack of hitting is disgusting. It is a legit question when does one thing no longer balance out to lack of the other. And if LaRoche was not valued for the glove he would be sitting some games right now.

So you think it is solely Riggleman's decision to make roster moves? Better check the GM job description and hold your breath for an hour.The 25-man roster HELL YES: and if you believe otherwise I have a bridge crossing the Potomac to sell you dude! Read it and weep: REPOST@anoymous8 or someone like him querying Boz on this bone of contetion:SEC 114, ROW EBos, we lost a game in Atlanta last week because we had 2 pitchers (Broderick and Hot-Rod) that the manager didn't trust – which means all of the other pitchers were burned out before the game even started. Is that Riggs' fault for not trusting/just using what he has? Or, is this one on Rizzo for not giving the manager useful players? Of course, since then they DFA'd Broderick and Hot Rod seems to have it sorted out. For now… Speaking of hard throwers, have you seen the numbers from Aroldis Chapman's last 2 outings? 7 walks, 1 HBP, and recorded 1 out.– May 16, 2011 10:57 AM PermalinkA.THOMAS BOSWELL :My impression is that Rig and his staff were high on Broderick and Gaudin. To me, Broderick was a waste of time. A nice story but never going to be more than a fifth starter and the Nats have 17 of them. Gaudin? Look at the back of his baseball card. No chance he gets better. Others (me among them) prefered Kimball and thought the staff was poorly built, which would be on Rig and his coaches. But we're past that now. This is the pitching roster I'd prefer.
- Anonymous8 - May 19, 2011 at 1:50 AM
Anon, the question was bringing up Aubrey or Marrero, that is the GM's call.Don't change it mid-stream to Boz as it isn't the same comparison, and Boz is real observant on the stale cheese in the bullpen. Anyone that follows the Nats saw that.
- Mark'd - May 19, 2011 at 1:56 AM
Anon8, don't bother arguing with this guy. You will only frustrate yourself trying to educate him.
- Unkyd - May 19, 2011 at 2:07 AM
sheesh what a horrific manager Riggleman is.And yet…… His club has won almost half of them, facing the toughest schedule in he bigs, thus far. Atl, Phi, and Fla: #s 2,3 & 5, respectively, in staff ERA, and that's who we've been battling, for the most part. Horrific. (hope I'm not yelling too loud. It's frustrating to know so little about baseball….)
- Unkyd - May 19, 2011 at 2:12 AM
Mark'd: doesn't frustrate me… I'm a little disappointed, when he doesn't post. Although that usually means we've won a game, which for some reason, doesn't interest him as much, it seems.And, I learn SO much about baseball, from him ….
- Anonymous8 - May 19, 2011 at 2:16 AM
Unkyd, agreed and like they say, the Manager can't bat for these guys. How many opportunities did the Nats squander tonight?My only criticism is that Riggles went from the quick hook after his pitchers completed 5 (early in the season) to now letting the starters labor through trouble. For a team that can't generate offense, you have to use your bullpen to keep any advantage you have. A 1-0 deficit in the 7 looks a lot better than that 3-0 leaving the 6th. I know about hindsight.
- Unkyd - May 19, 2011 at 2:20 AM
So…. Let's make it a split, tomorrow, eh?!Then we can sweep two from the Oyos, go 1 over .500, and wipe the smile off the Crypt Keepers face!!! Sounds like a SWEET weekend!!

Gambling bill scuttled, 'Now it is going to be really tough' for budget
"The budget was always going to be tough," said Senate Bill 152's prime sponsor and Senate Finance Committee member Sen. Lou D'Allesandro, D-Manchester, "but now it is going to be really tough."
He said the Senate budget will not include any tax or fee increases and he does not foresee any other revenue sources being considered.
Hassan lobbied House members for SB 152 leading up to the vote, including giving a 15-minute speech in Wednesday's Democratic caucus before the House session.
House Speaker Terie Norelli, D-Portsmouth, said after the vote that while the House and governor disagree on SB 152, they do agree on the need to restore funding for "investments slashed in the O'Brien budget."
"The House budget restores investments in higher education, mental health, developmental disabilities services, and fixing our crumbling roads and bridges, creating jobs and growing our economy," she said. "We need those investments restored to ensure long-term prosperity for our communities and our state."
"We knew we needed the money for the budget; now it's up to the House to make up the difference," said D'Allesandro. "My prediction is it's going to be a long budget process now."
On Tuesday, Senate Finance Committee Chairman and SB 152 sponsor Sen. Chuck Morse, R-Salem, released a list of potential reductions from House-adopted spending on Medicaid expansion, community health centers, the developmentally disabled wait-list for services and in the mental health system, among others.
Bragdon noted the Senate would have made some adjustments in its proposed budget if the bill had passed, but noted the Senate had already agreed to the House level of funding for the University System of New Hampshire and the New Hampshire Community College System and a number of other programs.
Then House and Senate negotiators will try to reach a compromise on the operating budget before the next fiscal year begins July 1.

Honeystick Project? Zero Day? BYOD?
Tuesday - 12/18/2012, 9:56pm EST
Gigi Schumm, VP & GM Public Sector, Symantec
December 18, 2012 -- This week on "Federal Tech Talk", Gigi Schumm, vice president and general manager Public Sector of Symantec, joins host John Gilroy to talk about how to protect your agency or company from cyber attacks.
Nobody can keep up the radical changes in computer security.
During the interview, Schumm discusses the changing concept of a virus being "in the wild."
Years ago, organizations would be able to list the number of malicious exploits; today, the number changes so fast it is impossible to list them.
Symantec has several centers for monitoring cyber-attacks, one is located in Herndon, Virginia.
Schumm talks about how Symantec merged with a company called RipTide to get an overview of how attacks were developing.
This overview enables security professionals at Symantec to develop heuristic methods of warning about activities.
Most federal IT professionals have heard of the old exploit where a few thumb drives were "lost" in a parking lot and employees would take them inside and plug them into a computer.
Schumm talks about a similar exploit called "honeystick."
Instead of "losing" thumb drives, Symantec "lost" smart phones that were loaded with apps and geographic tracking software.
Nobody has all the answers when it comes to security these days, it is always good to listen to a fresh perspective from a trusted vendor.

Naughty or Nice Holiday Technology Pranks
High-tech pranks that will have your family loving or hating you.
Are you a Bad Santa when it comes to technology? Here are a few "evil" pranks you can pull on your loved ones … just in time for the holiday break. Or, if you're feeling jolly, use tech to treat your family with something nice.
Naughty: Almost every home control system can be operated remotely from a smartphone. Your family will be running for the hills when you flicker the lights while they're home and you're not.
Are you itching to build a home automation system? Expert guidance is FREE in this special report, Smart Home Systems: Expert Guide to Home Automation, Smart Home Products & More.
Nice: Music can be soothing right before bed. A home control system can be set up to play relaxing music over the bedroom speakers softly right before bedtime … and turn it off automatically.
Naughty: Anything that plugs into an outlet can be put on a timer—let's say, your kids' TV. Limit their screen time during the holidays. They will sooooo hate you.
Nice: A movie button programmed into a remote control will make everyone's life easier. Just one press activates all the appropriate equipment.
Naughty: Your teenage daughter's boyfriend is over for a visit. Put together a playlist of your favorite "oldies" to blast through every speaker in the house.
Nice: Create a "romantic dinner" playlist for you and your spouse to enjoy when you have the house to yourself.
Naughty: Instead of having your doorbell emit a chime when pressed, have it play an inappropriate announcement—just for shock value.
Nice: Greet guests with a pathway of lights that illuminates as they walk toward your front door.
Naughty: Wake up your kids by having the lights in their bedrooms pop on automatically at a preset time. Follow up with a wake-up call over your home's speaker system.
Nice: Gently ramp up the lights over the course of a few minutes. It will give their eyes time to adjust … Nah. We like the naughty plan better.

"Really nice"
This worked great last winter to control the power to heat a K&H outdoor heated bed for an abandoned cat. She loved it and thanked me profusely. She was nice and toasty in the cold weather.
"Great for milkroom "
I ordered one of these to plug our milk room heater into so that we weren't needlessly heating it overmuch. It seems to be doing the trick, our electric bill is going down, and my medicines and supplies are staying liquid! The holes are a little tight fitting, and it does take some muscle to get the plugs inserted.
"worry free"
I use this to control my heated bucket. I use it during the fall and spring when temperatures vary more and buckets dont always need to be heated (normal winter is always below freezing). Then I dont have to plug and un plug or remember to. Helps me save energy too.
"Convenent "
I odered these ThermoCubes to use with the Heated Flat-Back Buckets. They work well and we are pleased to have warm water in the freezing weather without worrying about plugging and unplugging the buckets all the time. It would be nice if they turned off at a lower temperature, but like them all the same. I will be ordering more for other uses.
This Thermal Cube works great. We use it to turn on heat lamps for our water well house, greenhouse, and doghouse. I am ordering more to use in other areas because you can plug it in and not worry about things freezing. Thanks for making such a great product.

Kaiser: a humoristic title for a very rich and succesful person that is extremely extravagant (like an emperor of an empire), naming shaming and claiming the world, the universe and beyond. Comparable to the title of being the biggest boss that you´ve seen thus far.

The need for cleaning convenience was evident with the millions of rechargeable wall-mount hand vacuums sold every year in the US. Consumers demand a more convenient system for cleaning their homes. As a result more of us are moving to central vacuum cleaning for the performance, filtration and ease of use. Our busy lives have changed when and how we clean. WallyFlex fits perfectly with an always ready fast spot-cleaning design. Clean the areas that need it, when they need it, quickly and easily. WallyFlex is the ultimate area quick-cleaning device for central vacuums and stands out from the new crowd of "hose management" and "hose storage" systems. WallyFlex is an innovative solution that combines performance and convenience for quick cleaning on site without the need to retrieve equipment or wrangle storage when your done.
WallyFlex was named VDTA's 2011 New Product of the Year for it's clever design and unique operation. We like WallyFlex for it's simple design, reliable operation and sensible pricing. To use a WallyFlex you grab the hose end, pull it to the spot that needs cleaning - up to 13ft (4 meters) & return hose to cradle when finished. Best of all WallyFlex gives you the full performance of your central vacuum power unit with hundreds of times the cleaning power of a hand vacuum and 100% perfect filtration.
The WallyFlex design is ingeniously simple. Starting with installation that does not require special tube or fittings, only a common inlet mounting plate. They system can be mounted to a wall or in a closet or cabinet to conceal it. Standard installation mounting is approximately 48" from the floor or about the height of most light switches, though it may be mounted as low as 30" from the floor. Each WallyFlex includes three main components: mounting plate, valve and hose. As set of screws is included to connect the inlet mounting plate to the central vacuum mounting bracket.
The valve assembly connects with the mounting plate and the low voltage wires are connected to the switch. Connect the removable stretch hose which twist-locks into place and you are done. WallyFlex lets you easy activate your vacuum system when you grab the hose with a flip out switch. Instead of a trouble prone switch component, WallyFlex uses a simple wire contactor to signal your vacuum system.
The WallyFlex hose is highly compressive with a 4:1 stretch ratio, wire reinforced and a full 360° cleaning end. The smart simple design uses no latches or buttons to secure the hose at the valve but instead uses ultra strong rare earth magnets to lock the hose in place while not in use. The end of the hose is sealed closed while stored in the WallyFlex valve with closed cell foam mounted under an open cell foam spring cushion. The seal prevents airflow from escaping your vacuum system while using other inlets without the need for a tight friction fit or external cap.
The WallyFlex system can be used in every room. It's most popular uses are in high traffic areas like a mudroom, utility space, kitchen or entry. The stretch hose with cleaning end is also great for the workbench or production area where access to quick cleaning with minimal storage is needed.
