Chocolate originated in ancient Central America where the Maya and the Aztecs cultivated the cacao tree, or Theobroma cacao meaning 'food of the gods'. Ancient healers have used cacao beans medicinally for centuries, yet traditionally chocolate has the reputation of raising bad cholesterol, causing acne, tooth decay and weight gain, and lacking nutritional value. The average American consumes 11.64 pounds of chocolate a year. That's nothing compared to the 22.3 pounds consumed each year by the average Swiss. For most, chocolate is chocolate. However, the majority of chocolate most of us are accustomed to is cheap, heavily processed industrialized chocolate with ingredients far beyond just chocolate that gives it its bad reputation.
Chocolate Health Benefits.
In actuality, chocolate is largely antioxidant-rich, full of minerals, healthy fat and hundreds of compounds that protect our brain and nervous system, reduce inflammation, give us mood boosts and extra energy, as well as many other positive health benefits. The closer the chocolate is to its natural raw state, i.e., the darker it is or more cocoa solids it contains, the higher its nutritional value. White chocolate does not contain any cocoa therefore it has no antioxidant properties. Raw cocoa on the other hand, which consists of 100% cocoa contains over three times the antioxidant activity of roasted cocoa powder.
Don't be fooled by the Label.
As with every food option, it's always best to check the label before you purchase. Take for example this Hersey's Special Dark Chocolate Bar. Even though it's labeled as "Dark Chocolate" its very first ingredient is sugar! When buying a chocolate bar wouldn't you expect its most predominate ingredient to be chocolate? In fact, Hersey's Special "Dark" is 45% chocolate. That means ≥ 45% of the bar is sugar! The remaining ≤ 10% consists of ingredients such as emulsifiers and artificial flavors.
Are You Eating REAL Chocolate?
Sadly, most people have never tasted REAL chocolate, chocolate produced from wild, indigenous cacao. The chocolate readily available in our grocery stores is likely from a hybridized cacao plant that lacks the bold, rich flavors of wild varieties. The hybrid cacao plant is favored for mass production due to its high yield and disease resistant properties, causing wild production to decrease dramatically. Production of wild cacao is an incredible laborious and time consuming process, and the yield cannot compare to hybrid varieties. Therefore to meet the increasing demand for chocolate, farmers are planting hybrid varieties more frequently and have shifted towards using unsustainable, less environmentally conscious practices.
There are claims that wild cacao not only tastes better but has even greater nutritional properties. I have yet to see a study that confirms this, but it seems plausible considering wild cacao's indigenous habitat and longer lifespan enabling its roots to deeply embed and feed off native, mineral-rich mud. Because hybrid varieties have shorter lifespans, there is a loss in soil fertility every time there is turnover on a production plantation. As the soil loses its nutrient-richness so does the cacao, depleting its health benefits for the consumer and impeding its growth and yield for the farmer. Additionally hybrid varieties can be harvested in just a few years after being planted so young plants have little time to deeply embed their roots and seep up the nutrients from the soil and into the cocoa.
Cacao is a shade dwelling plant which is why you will often find banana trees growing next to some plantation hybrids; hardly the understory of an evergreen tropical rainforest where you will find wild cacao. Additionally, some plantations have moved their crops entirely out of shade and into the direct sunlight. This practice yields a greater quantity in a short period but at the expense of lower quality. Unlike wild cacao which feeds off natural rainwater or floods its roots alongside riverbanks for extended periods, sun exposed hybrid plantations require considerable watering and fertilization. Heavy chemical fertilizers compensate for poor soil nutrients and direct sunlight, and the use of extensive herbicides, pesticides and fungicides help ward of infection and disease. All of which negatively impact the health of the land, water, and people.
The Bottom Line.
Chocolate has incredible health benefits. To reap its full rewards consume a high cocoa concentrated (≥ 70%) dark chocolate bar or better yet try raw. The most environmental, sustainable, and nutritious option is to choose REAL chocolate originating from wild indigenous cacao. You can still find wild cacao but it is hard to find, and you certainly aren't going to see it on the shelves of any local grocery store. Regardless of chocolate type, make sure all your chocolate is certified organic or produced and grown using minimal chemicals and from a sustainable source.
Although not in its raw or wild form, one of my favorite go-to bars is Sweetriot's Pure 85% Dark Chocolate Bar. This bar ranks high on the healthy meter with its high concentration of chocolate, 85%. The remaining 15% of its ingredients consist of organic cane sugar and organic vanilla as one would expect, and no other ingredients, additives or emulsifiers. Additionally, it's certified USDA organic which is especially important given the heavy use of pesticides by chocolate growers, supports Fair Trade, and is soy and gluten free!
What is your favorite chocolate bar and cocoa concentration? Do you consume raw? How about a wild variety? Please share by COMMENTING below.

The Final Versace for H&M Collection Has Already Sold Out
It was only available in Europe, anyway.
The Versace for H&M resort collection — the collaboration's final installment — dropped today, although it's only available online in Europe. So, we don't have any stories about huge lines or in-store mayhem, alas! However, the clothes have already sold out almost completely, according to British Vogue, which reported just past noon U.K. time that there were only two items left in select sizes. (That is, until they show up on eBay, in which case they'll hopefully ship to the U.S. — as you can see, this collection was decidedly less brash than the last one, and would certainly sell well in the States.)

from MMs article (hopefully this is legal if not my apologies)
On whether he feels Crabtree can adjust to his scheme:
"I've watched very little tape of what he did in college. He played in a four-wide or five-wide package and was an outside receiver. I've seen the highlight film, but I didn't study him as a receiver, or haven't studied him as a receiver in the scheme that he played in college. From what I've seen early on, I think he'll adjust to the scheme, adjust pretty easily to any scheme. He basically played on one side in college, didn't flip, stayed on the one side and the routes were basically - in their system, he ran a hitch, and if he was pressed, he ran a go. So, it's a little bit more learning that he has to do than time will allow us to teach him, but we've got to make do as we can."
On whether Crabtree essentially ran two routes in college:
"As far as I can tell, but that's just a gloss over because I did not look at him and study him going back because I didn't have the receivers to look at. From what I saw of him on the highlight tape, that's what I saw."
On whether he ran those routes well:
"Yes, and they threw it pretty well, so he was pretty successful with it. As a matter of fact, the route that he caught to beat Texas was that route."
So yeah he was misquoted. i'll back off raye.

Summer 2014 Hiding Contest
The Summer of 2014 will feature a hiding challenge known as 'Preform Madness'.
What is a preform, you ask? It is a small plastic cylindrical container (see picture) that exists in a form before it is heated and expanded into a 2L soda pop container. The hard plastic is virtually indestructible and with the bottle cap in place, the log book will stay completely dry.
Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to hide a preform! The challenge rules are as follows.
Cacher of the Month - May 2014
Beware the Jabbywockyz, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun the frumious Bandersnatch!
(Holy Dinah! I just scared myself!)
I haven't cached in the Dauphin area since 2007. Back then there were 3 (yes, three) whole caches in town. All of which were hidden by the Dragonfreys who lived an hour south in Onanole. This surprised me to no end as Dauphin is the largest town in the area, and Swan River (the next largest town) had dozens of caches! Well, it seems that things have changed and the cache hides are coming fast and furious! And now there's GeoArt in the province! Well done!!
"'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, and the mome raths outgrabe." What Lewis Carroll is trying to say here is: Congratulations and read on to learn more about the MBGA Geocachers of the Month, Jabbywockyz!

RICHMOND COUNTY, Ga. -- A Richmond County woman is recovering after being scratched by a rabid cat.
She was attacked at her home near Milledgeville and Kissingbower roads. The victim's husband shot and killed the animal, which was then taken by Animal Control and then sent to Georgia Public Health Laboratory for testing.
Our area has seen its fair share of rabid animals lately. Most recently, half a dozen people were treated after they came into contact with a rabid dog in Columbia County. Across the river, Richmond County Health Department found a rabid bat in July. Another rabid cat bit at least one person in Sardis in April.
Symptoms of rabies typically show up within 30 to 50 days of exposure. Depending on where and how severe the bite is, symptoms could show up as soon as 14 days.
The Richmond County Health Department Environmental Section/Augusta Animal Services listed the following as symptoms of rabies:
Other early symptoms include:
Wildlife such as raccoons, skunks and bats, as well as household pets like dogs and cats can contract rabies. Keeping pets and livestock vaccinated, as well as avoiding exposure, is the best way to prevent contracting rabies.
Most people get rabies from being bitten by a rabid animal. If a person has broken skin, like a scratch, and comes in contact with animal saliva with the rabies virus, that person may get infected.
Report any contact of humans with wild animals to Richmond County Health Department Environmentalist Health Section office at (706) 667-4234 and contact of pets with wild animals to Augusta Animal Service at (706) 790- 6836.

I was stuggling to pay my bills with the cut in salary and tried several times to have this put on hold until I got back on my feet to no avail. On Friday the 15th I was laid off and called them to let them know that I would not be able to continue paying them until I found another job.
The Customer services rep said to me that I should have thought about this before borrowing the money. I was OMG you think I knew 20 years ago that I would be in this predicament. If you an see in the future can you please give me the lottery numbers. Off course this made her totally loose it and started screaming at me that they were going to garnish my unemployment and they did not care if I lived in a car they were going to find me. I finished by canceling the program and hanging up on them.
Really how can companies like this exist and why would anyone use them with this bad reputation.

Happy Tuesday y'all! It's gross outside here in Chicago but it's not
Trailer Trash Tracys
The top spot this week is reserved for
Jessie Baylin — Little Spark (Blonde Rat)
I was about to get all huffy and puffy
Cate Le Bon — Cyrk (self-released)
Le Bon's voice comes across as much sophisticated as it does bored out of its mind. While this could be a turn-off to some, it is done with intent and actually sets the appropriate vibe for what she's going for. With her songs, Cate has perfected the cold nonchalance of the '60s. I've heard others try to channel Nico's legendary
Seeker Lover Keeper
Well this is weird: I included these
The K-Pop group has a whopping nine
I have a lot of mixed emotions when it
So, which side am I on? I can't say I gravitate towards this style of music anymore but I can understand its importance, particularly at this stage in American history. The kids occupying Wall Street or protesters for any basic human right could use the title track as their "Eye of the Tiger" to get pumped up before a fight. Stream it all over at

brilliant sights great guide and the night tour by the Brooklyn Bridge was wonderful just in time to catch sunset and time to take amazing photos. It give you the whole picture of what Manhattan is all about.
Great tour so you can see most of New York City and beyond some, make sure you have a good hat and gloves for excellent photos from upside deck in the cooler months. Most guides are very entertaining and clear enough to hear. Fantastic value for money, would need at least 2 day tour as it very hard to get everything tour in, in one day.
Thank you.
This tour was amazing!
very nice and comprehensive
An experience to remember, the tour of statue liberty fantastic details, very moving in parts. The immigration museum excellent, full of surprising information, well worth going to. Altogether amazing !!!
Needed more info on transportation to pier for harbor cruise
Great Tour. Did both the Hop-on and Hop-off Downtown tour and the Ferry Boat tour. Both were excellent.
Thanks from Tennessee!
Awesome way to see a lot in a couple of days! Because of that, I can do more things.
Took my two daughters for their 18th and 21st to New York. Have used hop on / hop off buses in Paris and find them excellent. It's a great informative, quick way of getting around and helps you cover so much more in a relaxing manner. Buses are so regular you never wait longer than 10 mins, sometimes two buses as once so space is never a problem. The addition of the river cruise was amazing value for money. Information Centre just round the corner from 1st bus stop so no traipsing around looking for it. Tour Guides were superb. Would and have recommended to family and friends. Made an amazing trip even more amazing!!!
loved the accessibility, wished there was more frequent stops
I would recommend this tour both for the photographic opportunities and the highly entertainning knowledge of the tour guides.Very well done; no complaints!
Great way to see round the city to know where you want to go bank to again. The harbour tour was a different way to see NYC and our tour guide was brilliant - very funny. Personally think seeing Statue of Liberty is best experienced from the boat rather than queuing up for an hour or more to look out from the statue. We took a night tour down to China town, Brooklyn areas and got great sunsets with that fab skyline.
Best way of getting around New York, uptown and downtown and Brooklyn, they even extended our two days to three for free, also the commentary was helpful.
We used this service for 48 hours during our stay in NY. While it my be possible to use the subway not every tourist location is handy for a subway station and using the bus means you get to see a lot more of NY daily life on the streets. While we were there it was very hot and sunny which can be an issue if you are on the upper deck and not covered up. Always remember to take a hat or something similar to cover your head unless you want to get really burnt. The streets of NY can get very busy during rush hours, remember this will signifcantly increase the time it takes to get from stop to stop. Build these delays into your schedule if you need to be somewhere specific at a particular time.
The guides on the buses are very informative and rely on tips for a large part of their salary, remember you will see several different guides during each day as you change buses, it can add up considerably if you tip each one.
We use the Hop On Ho Off buses in every major city we visit, this was well worh the cost of the ticket.
A fantastic experience 2 days of hopping on and off was great and the boat trip is well worth it we saw all of New York in 2 days getting off wherever we wanted
I was raised in NEW York and moved to the Caribbean many years ago and wanted to show a good friend my former home. I know the city well, but wanted a comfortable way for her to see the city. She was thrilled and I enjoyed the oportunity of showing her the city I love. The guides were also excellent. We will certainly do this again.
Very enjoyable! This is a great way to see the city and then revisit sights later.
This was the second time I visited NY and would highly recommend Viator hop on hop off tours. We took all tours except the night time and was very impressed with the knowledgeable and professional guides. The busses came frequently and were clean and comfortable. The transfer points between tours were a bit confusing at first and would advise getting clarity on this at the check in.
guides were helpful
We had so much fun on these tours. There were four of us and we all had the 48 hour pass. We took advantage of the harbor cruise, the uptown tour, downtown tour and night tour. It is a fun way to see the city and a great value. It's the only way to go!
lorraine m United Kingdom
brilliant very enjoyable
Great convenient way to get a general look around NYC.
Excellent, comfortable? Enjoyable
Two days spent h/h'ing in order to see as much of NY as possible. Unfortunately we didn't have any time to visit the Museum - next time definately! Excellent tour guides - including the night time tour and the boat ride Ellis/Statue of Liberty. YES, we'll use you again, next time we're in NY.
excellent value, well worth it

Police situation in Detroit
Police are on the scene of some sort of incident in Detroit.
Guy: If you look at the numbers and they don't lie, Trump is losing support with white women and that's why he's trying to appeal to minorities. Look at the numbers every republican the same plea fail. If he really want to appeal to minorities, go to Chicago, Detroit and any other big cities and instead of yelling and screaming at us try talking to us. I'm not saying what he is saying is not true but look at the mouth it's coming out of. Come with a plan not rhetoric even though democrats have failed blacks and Hispanics for many years, they always come with a plan it never works but it has appeal, sad but true, speak with substance, lay out a formula. It's real easy to shout at a people in a town-hall full of whites than it is to go to the hood. I don't like either party as of the past 16 years and I think it's time for the people to create a third party for the people only.

This is all about market forces.
Several times on recent jobs I've questioned customers on what they've paid for previous jobs. Most common answer is £650 for the consumer unit.
Clearly some of us have had it good for some time. The shoe now, however, is firmly on the customers foot. Give it a few years and it'll be our turn to wear it again.

Alan, i bet you've lost money on that bungalow job. No disrespect.
Sit down and work it out and i bet its COST you money to do it.
If it was 7 days, thats £100 per day, £80 after tax. All the time getting the gear, the diesel, time spent quoting it. Its not worth it mate.
Electricians should charge decent money for what i think is the most skilled job out there in the construction industry.
When you were called expensive who were you quoting against? The bloke down the pub, next door neighbour? An "electrician" who has done a 5 week course? We are multi skilled people and the industry has been degraded over the years and also a lack of public knowledge.
Gas installers come in and charge £2500 to change a boiler, £500 to fit a radiator and the customers doesn't blink an eye.Kitchen fitters charge £10,000+ to fit a Kitchen and everyone accepts it.
We charge £1500 to rewire a house and we are expensive!
You can see what you get for your money, that's the problem.
We are first on the job and last off it, and we are the most regulated trade on the job.
As long as we keep lowering prices and letting customers bully us into a corner the trade will never get any better. I have stuck to my guns and the price is the price, and i now win more work than i lose. I take time to explain the regs in the quote and try and be as professional as i can so they get an "added value" service.
I think the governing bodies should do more to help us create more public awareness but that's another post.
I know similiar companies like the one you've described in Leicester, but the lads aren't sparks. There is one qualified spark and 5 young lads. I have tested these places and its a death trap.
The most hated bloke on the job is the clerk of works because he rips the job to bits, Sockets different heights, bad connections, mess everywhere the list is endless.
I know at least 4 or 5 companies who have gone bump because of the standard of work and have not been paid.
18 January 2013 11:34 PM
I'm guessing its simply geographical variation, decent sparks round here are £250/ day minimum
Martyn, if you dont mind me jumping on this.....for the south east.......thats £250 for someone with a lot of knowledge, niceic reg etc etc, new transport, every tool available, good attitude and people skills, working as a company.
£120 a day gets you someone who went to college for their basic level 3 and never went back to improve on anything.... basic subbies.
hard hat on and duck for cover!!!
Lack of planning on your part doesn't make it an emergency on mine....

Called out on Friday to a recent build 'posh' property with a report that they have a few lights not working properly and could I 'pop in' before their dinner party at lunch time!
The customer tells me the builder was rubbish, the plumber was rubbish and don't mention the carpenter! The electrician, however, was really good. Obvious question was why not get the guy back. It appears he came from miles away and has now died.
Problem was a 6 gang grid plate with 6 dimmers controlling some 48 GU10 recessed spots. For some reason they keep failing.
I agree to redesign and then we get the, 'when you return can you fix this little problem and this one and look at this..........'
Housebashers still manage to get it wrong - I dare not ask if all this stuff was specified as it did look very impressive complete with certificates.

Rewiring empty properties is a doddle and the price of 16\1700 quid is a good payout as you are in and out 3 to 4 days.
The £2400 comes in when you have 3 bed semis that are lived in and maybe cluttered to theroof and you end up backwards and forwards.
.......'Get the customer to move the clutter themselves'... I hear you say...we have been down that route where we agree slightly cheaper cost ,ask customer to move all stuff to centre of room(nights before we go into certain rooms) or empty cupboards\understairs\under the bed\loft etc and it doesnt get done so we ended up doing it then started charging £10 per hour for clearance which causes friction when you add £50 to a bill so now we look at the house the people and clutter and adjust our price accordingly.
If any of you want to do lived in houses for less than £2 grand then you can have them for me.
Self employed people should not be earning £10 per hour .You have had the bottle to take a risk,work all hours,take full responsibillity, get and keep current and qualified,finance all your actions.... do I need to say more.
Might as well go employed at Asda if you want easy but hard graft for £400 a week.

I find, and it does my flipping head in, that once you have done any work you are liable for anything else in the future, you fit an outside PIR flood-you get the calls to replace the halogen bulb everytime it fails, as 'you fitted it', etc etc.
'Can you put my 42" telly on the wall', 'Yes'-while your here can you tune it in, adjust the times on my heating, have a quick look at my intruder alarm, and while you put up a new light fitting in the lounge, move the old one from the lounge into the hallway and the hallway one into the small bedroom...................................all for the same price of fitting a tv bracket and replacing a light fitting..........and then they look at you like you're being a knob when you say 'yeh, can do, but it'll cost you extra'.
Is it just me that gets the feckers that want all for nothing?.

Look guys if you can gear up to do a rewire in one day and I am talking fully rewired not this partial rubbish also tested and certificated with a part p then you are behind the times.
This can be and is done on a daily basis.
For a 3 bed average size house with nothing too fancy should cost you around £1800-£2000
This would not normally include plastering.

Evening Trickery,
Minimum 5 people of which at least 3 need to be qualified sparks, and 2 labourers who have done rewiring jobs,box sinking etc who are putting minimum amount of sockets and lightinging in a completely empty house with empty loft and floorboarded ground floor then yes at a push it can be done but todate I have not seen a job done in one day that has raised some issues with the client who ordered the work.
I have seen council rewires that involved an army of workers and what an absolute mess they make with no regard for the customers well being or security of the property.
08 February 2015 08:39 PM
Then there are numerous illegal 'fines' for turning up 10 minutes late
LOL. How can you turn up "late" if you are self-employed? Surely the hours of work are at your discretion!

Gentlemen, you are looking at this the wrong way.
It is not that others charge too little, so you fail to get the work, but that your customer base is not recommending you to everyone they meet. This will probably make me unpopular again, but each new customer should generate 2 or three others! These complaints that you are called back to change the odd lamp 3 months after installation (or even a year) is your own fault. You are not selecting the fittings on the basis of hours per year, but some "cost" figure, which is very false economy as you are finding. If a fitting is on 12 hours a day you need to select one with a lamp life of 10,000 hours, not some halogen thing from somewhere where lamps last 500 hours if you are lucky.
How many hours do you take to remove a few floor boards and route a cable? Do you have every tool invented to make this the minimum possible time? Do you have the same to replace the board and leave the floor as it was before without squeaks, movement, or worse loose boards? How do you deal with chipboard floors? Does the result look perfect, is as flat as it was, and looks professional or is it a right mess which you cover up quickly? Do you make any mess whilst working or is the vacuum cleaner the first tool out of the van every time?
Honestly, its not rocket science. Customer care is the number one, because you know exactly haw to do the rest very quickly and to a high standard. (Unfortunately this is also rarely the case from the moaners who are not prepared to compete on anything, be it price quality, guarantee, after sales service etc.) If you cannot give a year of no quibble warranty on everything you supply or do, get some more training. It should cost you nothing if you do everything right, and more customers will follow in droves!
When you buy a new van, what happens for the first year if you find a snag? How about the first 3 years? (Go to the right dealer!). How does this compare with your service???
Works for me.

Good words Dave.
I personally wouldn't dream of ettempting to rewire a house for some of the sums mentioned here. I'm quite slow with rewires at times, certainly if I'm working on my own, but I've never promised a customer I will be quick, or that I will be the cheapest. I firmly believe in doing a good job and keeping the customer happy. I've been known to help unpack tesco deliveries during a rewire, give the customer a lift to the station, spend hours in an evening with them going through lighting catalogues, repeat visits discussing different types of electric heating etc.
IT can't be a coincidence that despite being fairly expensive, I've got more work than I can cope with, I don't have to compete with other electricians, and I regularly receive bottles of wine, joints of ham, sides of smoked salmon etc for Christmas from clients.
Work up to a standard, not down to a price is a motto I go by, and it seems to work. When I set up, most self employed electricians were charging £25 ph round here, so I charged £28. Never had a complaint!
An old thread, but still relevant, and quite interesting to discuss.

"Insert words of wisdom and/or witty pun here"

Reading the above posts I realise some other things.
It seems that some recon on 1 day per room for rewiring. That is a very long time if you are equipped properly. What takes the time?
1. Chasing walls need the right machine, and a dust extractor for little mess. Chasing machines cut at 1 foot per minute in concrete or faster in softer materials. Box sinkers, and drilling jigs make box holes much quicker without any surrounding damage. Floors need extra narrow circular saw blades, a powerful router to tidy traps in chipboard floors so that the result is almost invisible (and a supply of chipboard to make new trap covers), a mitre saw to make the new pieces exact and square, an electric hammer / chisel / drill, core drills for holes through walls, and anything else you see in the tool shop which "might even save time once", because it will save you loads of money.
Most rooms should now get first fixed in 2 hours maximum, you work hard, but that's what life is. You make no mess and the customer only has you under the feet for a short time, and they appreciate it!
2. Fitting a new CU. Electricity off, remove all the old mess, identifying circuits so that you can leave almost everything working as long as possible. Fit new board to wall and wire tails, check earthing arrangements and repair / replace as necessary. Wire all old circuits to new board in a temporary manner, extending as necessary using a temporary big box and chock blocks or whatever. Have a cup of tea with customer, handing out anything you can to reassure them and create a good relationship. Rewire rooms one at a time to disrupt life as little as possible. Use chaser, jigs, hilti gun etc to save time and do a neat job.
3. Lights. In roof space it is horrible, and getting worse. Wear cool overall, the white disposables are good. Use mask / respirator/ compressed air BA depending on how bad it is. Put new cables on top of insulation, try not to disturb too much although this is difficult with 200mm of insulation in wide rolls. Use a long screwdriver / sharp steel piano / fibreglass threading rods wire to locate points, pushed through insulation from below. Make wiring look as tidy as possible with logical layout.
4. Floors. The idea here is to do nothing which you cannot easily fix completely and tidily. Having a carpenter as a colleague / mate is often better than a sparkie, if you cannot do woodwork. Many houses have floors which have already been butchered by others. Aim to put them back better than they are found, and as far as possible like new. Make traps square and tidy. Be ready to support board ends as necessary, to fit extra strips of wood / chipboard / plywood, glued and screwed in position. Use the mitre saw, router, electric screwdrivers etc. Screw all removed boards / traps firmly down through drilled holes, so that they do not squeak! Keep using the vacuum cleaner at all times. Drill joists where needed with a short auger bit with screw tip, in the centre of joists (neutral axis).
That's it then, Spend 10 grand on the best tools and save it in a couple of months. I avoid battery drills in the larger sizes, and other battery tools. You have electricity available and the transformer / cable is not really a problem. Mains tools are much more powerful, more reliable and available all day without waiting for the charger. Battery drills / screwdrivers of smaller size are worth their weight in gold.
You should get a three bed down to 2.5 days or less with a bit of practice. The biggest waste of time known to man is a "quick trip to the wholesaler". Plan ahead! Keep sufficient stock of you favourite brands. Bulk buying saves even more money and time.

In 1972 my partner in crime and I rewired 350 council house in Ramsgate, Kent. We were self-employed (very unpopular then) and we did the work sub-contract, labour only. We got £36.00 a unit and, on average, we did 4 a week (in 4 days). That meant we each got £72.00 a week for those 4 days which was around twice the wage of the average electrician.
The houses had about 19 points, gas and water bonds - all surface wiring on drops in capping or mini trunking.
We had a system and, after completing around five units of each type, we could get down to one unit in a 12 hour day - running all the time - it was not easy.
As I recall - I did the first floor (downstairs lighting first fix, upstairs power first and second fix - all furniture and floor coverings shifted and then put back), my partner did the ground floor (suspended floor) and the mains and then he came upstairs while I wired the loft (fully clipped) and he second fixed it. The council inspected every one we did and we did not have to carry out any remedial work.
So one a day is possible but definitely not on the odd one off rewire.
I saw the way some council house rewires were carried out when I was an NICEIC Inspecting Engineer - one site I visited looked like a bomb had hit it. The family were sat in the middle of an assault by at least 3 operatives who just ripped the place apart - that is not the way my partner and I did it.

When I was a school boy, the council re-wired the whole estate. Well, contractors did.
3 days and it still needed joiners and plasterers (and occasionally plumbers!) to put the place back together.
The Consumer Unit came with all circuits connected and bunches of cables hanging from them!
They did my grandmothers house too. They had barelyt got out of the door when the RCD tripped (all power circuits were on the RCD side).
I went round to see what was going on. Tracked it down to the fridge...or so I thought. If the fridge was plugged in the RCD tripped randomly. Left it unplugged while she tried to find a serviceable second hand fridge. Then even when the fridge was unplugged the RCD tripped one night.
The council weren't interested, They'd talk to the clerk of works...
After some days of intermittent power I investigated and found very low I/R on the upstairs ring (can't remember L-E or N-E) . Then identified which leg, After lifting a few floorboards upstairs I found one leg of the upstairs ring had been kinked where it came from below through a gap between the joist and the wall. They'd pulled it so tight that the CPC had cut into a neighboring conductor.
I replaced that section of cable and re-instated the fridge
The council just shrugged when informed what had been found. I bet those contractors were boastful of how fast they could do a rewire too...
I bet not many 15 year old's had Meggers back then. Although it was one that my mate had nicked off the same contractors when they were re-wiring his house!

It is not necessary to be shoddy to do a very good job quickly, just very organised and properly equipped. The guy with a pair of pliers a hammer and a screwdriver are long gone. He had no test gear either, or any certificates to say that the job was done to the required standard.

I'm inclined to agree, to a degree. Particularly on multiple identical properties.
There aren't many house round here that have light weight block interior walls that a box sinker would be usable on. At least not many that are due for a rewire.
Most that I did had clay brick walls with over-fired glass like intrusions. Can take an hour to drill and chisel out a double 25mm box.
Then there might only be 3/8ths thickness of plaster so it takes a few passes with the wall chaser and SDS chisel just to chase in a pair of 2.5's.
The housing stock I was raised in had hollow clay blocks for internal partition walls that really needed care to fix flush boxes in.
I have always done my own plastering because I make a much better job. You can't see any evidence of my chases once papered over!
I always make the floors good. Not just back how they were either. There is usually a load of treachery on the landing from the plumbers. I put that right too so as not to get the blame.
And that's why I'm out of it. For exactly the reason this thread was started.
You can't do a proper job, with pride and at a sustainable pace (for a middle aged man) and undercut the hooligans that leave a grands worth of remedials for other trades and just scarper.
The customer don't know and don't care.
As I packed up and went off on a new career the local rag had classified ads for "Rewires from £950".

Like thousands before me, I found this out the hard way. The dive watch I purchased was sent back. All I can say is MISTAKE. The 6-8 week repair took over a year! It was by far the biggest hassle of my life trying to deal with these idiots. Believe me, every employee at Jomashop up to the head guy is a Moron and will Lie their a*s off.
I sent the watch back to the manufacturer first until I realized they were not an authorized dealer. They manufacturer agreed that the watch breaking was not my fault but Jomashop claimed that it was definitely my fault and I would have to pay.
Oh well, I said fine, I'll pay. Having contacted Jomashop several times a month, they still took over a year. And get this. When it was finally returned to me they sent it to the wrong address and never admitted any mistake. They said it was my problem and I would have to track down the watch at the address they sent it to.
So I eventually track down the watch to find out that after over a year and countless hours on the phone and countless e-mails, the watch was not even repaired.
I was so pissed. They told me over and over that it was repaired and sent back to me. ALL LIES. I advise no one to buy anything from this site EVER!

All about us
Pollinate was founded in 2004 by people frustrated with average everyday research.
We believe that all people are not the same and that by understanding influence we could create powerful change – for a brand, for a category and across society.
Some things you should know about us:
We get influence
We have unparalleled expertise in working with influential consumers from idea generation to commercialisation and a set of proven proprietary research approaches that are the backbone of most of our work.
Everything we do is geared towards understanding influence and how to harness the power of the most influential people.
We are experts in qualitative and quantitative techniques, both the tried-and-tested variety and the more creative and innovative.
Innovations and communications are the core of what we do because they are the basis of most profound change: be it repositioning the brand, paradigm shifting innovations or developing communications.
Australian Ethical Investment
"The team at pollinate is one of the best agencies I have ever worked with. Their empathy with and level of understanding of our business combined with superior attention to detail has been very refreshing. The results have been far beyond my expectations. Every individual has shown 100% commitment to our project and I look forward to having an ongoing relationship with them."
Paul Smith, General Manager Strategy & Communications
Carlton United Breweries
"Pollination sessions have been an extremely effective approach to uncover the consumer meaning of our category, the semiotics at work and most importantly understanding the reality of how our category, brands and products need to fit into our consumers lives and to truly meet their needs. In recent times, we have done extensive work delving into both macro and category trends that impact our business but this is the first time we've gone so effectively into what these trends actually mean for a specific age group and target market – it was certainly not exactly how we at CUB saw the world.
Angela Turvey, Consumer Insights Manager
Carlton United Breweries
"Based on the Pollination sessions, we feel like we now have a solid understanding of what the fundamental needs and forces at play are. The extensive thinking and preparation work that the pollinate team and Howard have done along the way has been outstanding. The team is a pleasure to work with and right from the outset we have felt the pollinate team truly got their heads into our category, understood it and really wanted to work with us to solve our problem."

Last year around August 2011, we signed our two daughters up with Interface Modeling Agency in Boca Raton, Fl. When we came for our first appointment we had to sign them up for $1,000 for their photo shoot. After the photo shoot, we then had to pay over $900 for their composite cards, plus $45 dollars for the copywrights to their photos. We were told we would hear from them within a month or two for casting calls... but it's been months and we haven't even gotten a call! Words cannot express how robbed we feel. We are not rich and we cannot afford to just give away $2,000 for some nonsense. We tried reaching out to them, and got no return calls. The customer service there (after you pay your money), is horrible! We have two beautiful little girls and all we wanted is for someone to get their name and face out there. We filed a report with the Better Business Bureau, but got no where.... I'm waiting for the news networks to contact me, so that I can get my story out there, so that this never happens to anyone else! Please parents, choose wisely, keep walking when you see them in the malls to prevent what happened to me, to happen to you.

Mini-Stops and Services
Mini-stops are located approximately halfway between each food stop and feature food for purchase. Mini-stops are staffed and sponsored by local community organizations that use them as fundraisers. They offer mechanical support, portable toilets and first aid kits (no OTC drugs and no medical staff) and are not associated with Cascade Bicycle Club. Below is an approximate list of the mini-stops and the groups involved.
Route Support
Ten thousand bicyclists ride STP every year; almost all finish. Group Health STP Presented by Alaska Airlines provides mechanical support, food, first aid, water and toilets every 20 miles. Personal support vehicles (PSV) are strongly discouraged because they create additional hazards for the cyclists, as well as local traffic.
If you insist on riding STP with personal support, please make sure your PSV driver knows to follow the instructions for personal support vehicles. Personal support is not allowed to follow the cycling route, and by registering for the STP you have signed and agreed to comply with the ride rules set by the organizers. You are endangering riders and heavily affecting the small communities we ride through. Please be respectful of the other 9,999 riders who want to enjoy a low-traffic ride.
Our volunteer support team is the best in the business. Twelve support vehicles will patrol the route to pick up riders unable to continue. These vehicles will circle the course until the last rider finishes each day. The support vehicles will shuttle stranded riders to the nearest point where services are available. The support vehicles are not personal "taxis". If you are not able to continue due to mechanical or physical reasons, you will need to make your own arrangements for transportation to your final destination. The support pickup service requires patience and has limited capacity; you may have to wait some time before you're picked up.
Please respect the fact that if you continue on the course after dark you are forcing volunteer drivers to continue after dark. All riders should be trained and ready to complete the course within the hours of daylight. There is plenty of it in July! If you cannot finish before dark you will offered a ride or a boost. We encourage all riders to accept the suggested support offered to them.
Each major food stop and mini-stop provides mechanical support for your bicycle. Supporting bicycle shops provide free labor but charge for parts. Come prepared to pay for bicycle repairs that you may need on the route. Many bike shop mechanics will take MasterCard/VISA as well as cash or check. See a full list of shops providing mechanical support on the STP.
The Cascade Bicycle Club Outriders are a team of well-trained and experienced Cascade Bicycle Club volunteers and ride participants. They are well versed in Cascade events and are available to help with minor mechanical issues, help you fix your flat and answer any questions you may have about the route, food stops or cycling in general. They are wearing the green, white and black OUTRIDER jerseys. Feel free to flag them down if you have any questions or need assistance in any way. They are ambassadors of good cycling etiquette and safe riding. They may remind you that single file is safer or warn you of upcoming hazards on route. Please understand they are there to keep everyone safe on the road to Portland. Your riding habits affect others and it is not fair to cut someone else's trip short when most crashes can be prevented with safe riding skills. Feeling overwhelmed by group riding? Want to know how many miles to the next rest stop? They are there to help!
Each year up to 100 cyclists (ski patrol, medics, firefighters, police officers, nurses and doctors) volunteer to ride Group Health STP Presented by Alaska Airlines as members of the Safety and Medical Team. These volunteers are identified by red safety jerseys, vests or helmet covers. The Safety and Medical Team will ask riders to refrain from unsafe or discourteous riding practices. Please remember that preventions is key! Drink small amounts of water often, use chamois cream, and practice safe riding! Most incidents can be avoided with preparedness.
The 5 major STP food stops and the finish line will be staffed with medical volunteers provided from local fire rescue, hospitals, and MRCs. All the other mini stops on the route will have first aid supplies available for riders, but will not be staffed. If you have a medical issue on route that needs immediate attention, please flag down one of the Goldwing Support motorcycles or one of the official STP Support cars.
The Gold Wing Touring Association (GWTA) will be on route with more than 100 motorcyclists who patrol the route equipped with radios and first aid kits. GWTA responds to mechanical problems and minor medical situations. They can radio for help in situations requiring medical assistance or rider transport. If you need assistance, give the "thumbs down" signal to a GWTA motorcyclist. To signal your appreciation, give the "thumbs up" sign.
Their other major role on route is to mark detours, unforseen hazards and help direct traffic in emergencies untill officials arrive. Please follow their direction and know that a detour without an official STP mark or a Goldwing in place is NOT an official route detour.

Skill Level Advanced
In this movie we'll elaborate on our initial spirograph in order to create this more intricate pattern here. And notice in addition to adding lines to the main spirograph pattern, I've also created a smaller inset spirograph to fill in the hole at the center of the design; and here's how it works. I still have my circle selected and I'm working inside the Appearance panel. I'm going to go ahead and twirl close all the attributes except the top Stroke, just to cut down on the confusion. And speaking of confusion, when you have multiple iterations of a single effect applied to an attribute in this case, it can be difficult to tell exactly who's who.
So what you have to bear in mind is that unlike everything else in Illustrator, dynamic effects are shown in opposite order. So in other words, whereas the top layer in the Layers panel is the top layer in the stack; and the top attribute in the Appearance panel is the top attribute in the stack; the first transform, the one at the top here, that's the first one we applied; and the one at the bottom is the most recent one we applied. So if you click on that bottom transform, you'll see it's the one that creates 19 copies rotated 9 degrees, which is the last effect we applied.
And the order does matter. If I cancel out of here and then I grab this transform and drag it in between the other two, then we end up with a bunch of ellipses stacked on top of each other. Because first Illustrator is scaling the entire circle 97%; and then it's creating 19 duplicates of a rotated circle, which doesn't do us any good; and then it goes ahead and scales all those duplicates to an ellipse. Which of course is not what we want, but it helps to demonstrate how things work inside of this panel, and it's going to help us with this next step.
So I'll go ahead and press Ctrl+Z or Command+Z on the Mac to undo that change. What I want to do is create these slightly wider versions of the ellipses. So in other words, I want to scale every single one of these and create a copy, and I can do that by applying yet another variation on the Transform effect. So what I'll do is click on that top Stroke to make sure it's active. And you'd think you'd be able to say, okay, I want to put this Transform effect right at this location-- so after this one and before this one--so you should be able to click on Transform and then go up to the Effect menu and choose that second command to apply transform again and it would land at this location. But it doesn't. It's going to land at the end; but having Transform selected is just fine.
Anyway, I'll see that alert message and click Apply New Effect, and this is what I'm looking for incidentally. I want the Width of the ellipses to be scaled to 140%, so change the Horizontal Scale value to 140, the Vertical Scale value should be set to 100. We don't want any Rotation, so go ahead and set that to 0 degrees. We don't want to Scale the Strokes and Effects. We want to make sure the center point is selected, we want exactly 1 Copy. And then you turn on the Preview checkbox and it appears as if we've ruined the effect entirely.
Not so--I mean, well, so far we have, but we'll change in the second. Go ahead and click on OK. What you need to do is take that newest transform, the one at the bottom of the stack---which is by the way the one we just applied--and then you want to drag it before the one that creates 19 rotated copies, and drop it right at that location. And you'll end up with this much more desirable effect here. All right! Now let's create another one by clicking on the top Stroke to make it active and then click on the little Page icon at the bottom of the panel and that will create a copy of that Stroke, which remains expanded while Illustrator automatically collapses the original Stroke.
All right! This time around I'm going to change the Line Weight to 0.5, and I'm also going to change the color of the Stroke by Shift+Clicking on the little swatch right there in order to bring up my CMYK values, and I'll change the M value to 48 and the Y value to 62; C and K should be left to 0. It's very important in fact that they'e left at 0, or else this effect won't quite work. Now what you want to do is click on the final transform there, the one at the bottom of the stack, in order to bring up the one that applies 19 rotated copies. And you want to change the Angle value to 3 this time around, which is one third of 9, and therefore 1/60th of 180 degrees.
Turn on the Preview checkbox and you'll see that we fill out just part of that circle. Click in the Copies button and press Shift+ Up Arrow until you get to 60 Copies, and then press the Down Arrow Key to create just 59 Copies, because that's all we need. We need a total of 60 of these things, so we have one original and then 59 Copies. Now click OK. Now, I think that's too much, and what I want to do is get rid of that second to last transform, the one I just got done applying where it scales horizontally to 140%. That one I don't want.
So I'm just going to click on the Eye icon in order to turn it off, and that way I can keep it around if I decide I want it later. Now, finally what you want to do is click on Opacity and let's change the Blend mode from Normal to Multiply. And thanks to the fact that my orange Strokes employ just Magenta and Yellow and my red Strokes are 100% Magenta and Yellow, you don't see the overlaps, so it appears as if the red Strokes are in front. And of course I could have just changed the order of them, but anyway I might as well use the Blend mode since I've already done it. All right! Next, I want to fill in the circle.
Now, strictly speaking you don't have to, because there's going to be this black bar in front of it; but let's say you're creating some other design and you don't have a black bar in the middle and you don't want this hole showing up there. why then, one solution is to go ahead and click on the New Stroke to make it active, click on the little Page icon to make a copy of it. Go ahead and change the Blend mode back to Normal this time around, and let's change the color of the Stroke back to that red. I'm going to click in the first occurrence of transform, the one at the top of the stack, and I'm going to change both the Horizontal and Vertical Scale values to 10%. Turn on the Preview checkbox, and you can see that, that ends up filling in the hole quite nicely.
And then I'll click OK in order to accept that change. Now, if I zoom in, I can see that I've got some interesting stuff going on here, but not enough of it. In other words, I can't see enough white. So I'll change the Line Weight of this top Stroke to 0.3 and we end up letting some of that white in. But we now have just a pinprick of a hole in the center here, and to fill it in, the best way to go is to add a new Fill. So I'll click on the Add New Fill icon in order to add a Fill to the top of the stack. I'll change the color to CMYK Red.
And then with that Fill selected, I'll go up to the Effect menu, choose the second occurrence of transform in order bring up the Transform dialog box, and I'm going to change both the Horizontal and Vertical Scale values to 1%. We don't want any Copies this time around. We don't want any Angle for the Rotation. Turn on the Preview checkbox, and that goes ahead and exactly fills in that hole. Now click OK in order to apply that change, and then I'll go ahead and zoom out so we can take in the entire pattern.
And that's how you create a more elaborate spirograph pattern, complete with a filled in center, here inside Illustrator.

Social Security:
Disability Rolls Keep Growing, While Explanations Remain Elusive
HEHS-94-34: Published: Feb 8, 1994. Publicly Released: Mar 11, 1994.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the recent growth in social security disability insurance (DI) program beneficiaries, focusing on: (1) the reasons for the increase in DI beneficiaries; and (2) what information is needed to evaluate the program's potential for future growth.
GAO found that: (1) the Social Security Administration (SSA) has forecasted that DI rolls will increase to over 6 million disabled workers in the next 10 years; (2) DI applications increased by one-third between 1989 and 1992; (3) almost half the applicants in 1992 succeeded in obtaining benefits; (4) the proportion of beneficiaries enrolled in the DI program for 15 years or more has significantly increased since 1985; (5) the average age of new beneficiaries is below 50; (6) mental impairment awards to younger workers have increased by more than 500 percent; (7) the reasons for DI enrollment increases include higher unemployment rates and policy changes on the numbers and types of beneficiaries; (8) SSA lacks quantitative data on the number of people in the general population that qualify for DI benefits which limits its ability to predict future DI program growth, trends, and changes; and (9) although the Department of Health and Human Services and other agencies are developing research programs, it is too early to assess whether these efforts will provide adequate information on current trends, since initial results will not be available until mid-1994.

Hey there! Thanks for the recent update to the code.
I do have a suggestion for another code change though as I ran into some issues a while back and fixed the code myself.
I don't recall which browsers had the issue exactly, but some browsers report back as 'True' and some report back as '1' for the functions in the attached paste bin, so I put in an OR check for true or 1. Understanding that it shouldn't be needed, but it wasn't working in one or more of the browsers I was working with.
