A critical part of the core infrastructure for voice networks is its ability to interconnect with the existing TDM networks. Call setup, progress, and teardown are all accomplished via complex network signaling commands that traverse the network end to end. While several signaling options exist, most new telephony services depend on the power and reliability of Common Channel Signaling System 7 (SS7/C7), more commonly abbreviated and known as SS7. Differing from in-band signaling methods such as R2 or Channel Associated Signaling (CAS), an SS7 architecture dictates that call control information traverse a separate network dedicated solely to the business of transmitting the required information to successfully connect telephone calls.
Realizing the importance of SS7 call control, Cisco created a network architecture that supplements its Voice Infrastructure and Application (VIA) solution http://www.cisco.com/en/US/netsol/ns110/ns163/ns166/networking_solutions_packages_list.html, allowing customers to introduce SS7 signaling into their new or existing H.323- or Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)-based voice-over-IP (VoIP) networks.
The Cisco SS7 Interconnect for Voice Gateways option adds the Cisco PGW 2200 PSTN Gateway to the Cisco VIA solution. There are two additional hardware elements: the Cisco Signaling Link Terminal (SLT) and the PGW 2200 hosts. "A" or "F" links from the SS7 network are physically connected to the Cisco SLT via one of several supported interface cards. The Cisco SLT terminates Message Transfer Part (MTP) Layers 1 and 2 of the SS7 protocol stack. Signaling traffic is then backhauled over an IP network to the Cisco PGW 2200, which interprets call signaling information that is used to establish and tear down calls in H.323- and SIP-based networks. The figure below illustrates the distributed architecture of the Cisco SS7 Interconnect for Voice Gateways option.
The Cisco VIA solution allows service providers to take advantage of packet network investments. With the Cisco VIA solution, service providers can quickly build multiservice networks and deploy revenue-generating services. The Cisco SS7 Interconnect for Voice Gateways option builds upon this opportunity by expanding available interconnect options and lowering operating costs. Key benefits to customers include:
- Reduced recurring charges - In general, tariffs favor interconnection using SS7 signaling. Inter-machine trunks (IMTs) are less expensive than ISDN-based facilities, both on a one-time (installation and provisioning) and recurring (monthly charge) basis. This equates to lower monthly expenses, reduced cost of goods sold, and higher margins for service providers.
- Opportunity to enter new markets - Many countries will not permit alternate carriers such as competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs) and Internet telephony service providers (ITSPs) to interconnect to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) with signaling methods other than SS7. The Cisco SS7 Interconnect option allows Cisco VIA customers to enter those markets.
- Network scalability - SS7 signaling offers superior scaling over other signaling methods such as R2, Primary Rate Interface (PRI), and CAS.
- Compatibility - Cisco SS7 Interconnect is compatible with previous versions of all Cisco VIA signaling methods. Customers can feel confident that revenue-generating services supported by their VoIP network will continue to operate and be fully supported with the addition of the SS7 signaling option. Also, upgrading to the Cisco SS7 Interconnect option is simple. With the addition of the Cisco PGW 2200 PSTN Gateway and the Cisco SLT, SS7 appears as "just another signaling method" to the VoIP network.
- Faster customer response time - Telecommunications operations tend to be optimized around ISDN User Part (ISUP) trunk (IMT) provisioning. Therefore, IMTs can generally be provisioned more quickly than PRI, CAS, or R2 trunks. SS7 enables service providers to contract for IMTs as opposed to PRI, CAS, or R2 trunks.
- Widespread network ubiquity - SS7-signaled trunks are usually supported at all TDM switch and point-of-presence (POP) sites. Other trunks, especially PRI-signaled trunks, may only be supported on a subset of PSTN switches.
- The Cisco VIA solution is a proven infrastructure that enables a broad portfolio of packet-based voice services. It is designed for service providers and international carriers who seek to increase revenue, build customer loyalty, and boost profits by adding national and international call transport and a variety of other services such as prepaid and postpaid calling card services, voice mail and unified communications, and application service provider (ASP) termination services to their service portfolios. Support for industry-standard protocols such as H.323 and SIP make it easy to link a service provider's network through many interconnect options.

The Boyne Bridge is an asymmetric cable stayed bridge with an overall length
of 352m traverses the River Boyne west of Drogheda. Cable stays, anchored in
the head of the 95m high A-frame pylon, support the 170m main span at 10m
centres. Counterbalancing cable stays tie the pylon head to the south
abutment, which consists of a cellular reinforced concrete box with mass
concrete fill.
The angle of inclination of the pylon legs, approximately 20 degrees, is one
of the steepest ever to be specified and, as a result, has necessitated
particular attention to construction methods. The 34.5m wide dual carriageway
composite deck consists of a grillage of longitudinal and transverse steel
girders supporting a reinforced concrete slab.
The four approach spans are supported by pairs of circular reinforced concrete
columns of 2m in diameter. The deck steelwork is enclosed by a system of GRP
panels, which provides protection against corrosion and access for inspections
and maintenance. Extensive use is being made of Blast Furnace Slag Concrete,
both for its aesthetic benefits and thermal characteristics.

Athlete Biography
I first took up triathlon in 2009 because I wanted a new challenge after cycling for a number of years. I have a family history in sport: my father was an athletics coach and is a competitive runner, and my sister is a PE teacher. The person who has had the most influence on my sporting career is my wife, who provides a huge amount of day-to-day help with training and attending competitions.
I currently train in Norfolk, and a typical training week for me includes three hours of swim training, four to five hours of biking, and two hours of running. My personal best swim time (750m) in open water is 16:16; bike time (20km) 30:27; and run time (5km) 20:45. My favorite ITU race has been the Hyde Park London World Series race, because is was my first international event. I have set up a Special Olympics cycling group and a multi-sports club for people with learning disabilities. Part of my physiotherapy role includes promoting physical activity and exercise through sport. My triathlon goals are to win medals at world and European championships, and to participate in the 2016 Paralympics in Rio.
My life outside triathlon includes working as a physiotherapist, coaching people with learning disabilities, and taking part in cycling competitions when time allows. The biggest obstacle that I have overcome in life is transport, and other people's attitudes. Something the triathlon world doesn't know about me is that my wife and I have two cats, three rabbits, 13 guinea pigs, and two alpacas!

my DD did the same thing sometime between 4-6 months. she did great on my right side and mostly refused my left unless asleep. the only thing that sort of worked was to hold her in a football hold on the left side to try to trick her into thinking it was the right. she eventually outgrew this aversion (within a couple months) and now at one year nurses both sides just fine.
remember that lots of moms only nurse on one side exclusively and produce plenty of milk for their babes (if you think about it, we have two breasts because natural human reproduction rarely produces more than twins!).

- which is how East ham (in the East-end of London) got its name of course!
The "pea-souper", to which shona refers, was also know, in the C19, as "a London particular." It is a phrase whose originas I've never managed to unravel - I s'pose I'll have to LIU [ sigh ]
Certainly, the term "pea-souper" was common when I was at school, because we were sent home early when one occurred. I have been out in london fog where you could barely see your hand at the end of your outstretched arm - literally, "you couldn't see your hand in front of your face!" as the common expressionn had it. Crossing the road was an adventure and it was very easy to lose your way, even on familiar territory. Driving a motor vehiclae was a nightmare.
Then came the Clean Air Act, in the late '50s, I think, and within five years, thick fogs of that sort just did not happen.

The coolest fog I remember being in was in Honey, Hidalgo, Mexico. Honey is a small town in the mountains near Tulancingo, Hidalgo, founded by a group of British ex-pats. It has the feel of an English village, sorta. The groves of pines looked particularly eerie at dusk with the fog rolling through. Fortunately we weren't far from our vehicle when the fog surrounded us and reduced visibility to about one foot. Come to think of it, Mexico City and all it's air pollution is not that far from there. Hmmmmm. I wonder how much effect it had on that fog?

Those last pea-soupers in London in the 50s! I had forgotten them until reading your post Rhuby, then it all came back. I recall in the early 1950s that there were evenings (late afternoon really but it was dark by 3.30 anyway) in winter when we had to be escorted home by the teachers and on each intersection there were large, greasy black Aladdins lamp type of oil lamps set down on the pavement with a flaring oily flame coming out of the spout. These were not to help pedestrians but to assist the bus drivers; the buses crawled along the kerb with the conductor walking in front shouting instructions to the driver who literally could not see the kerb or the electric street lamps overhead. It all seemed exciting then, the groups of us children all well wrapped up with scarves over our mouths, heading off in different directions into the gloom shouting and chattering, seeing the orange glow of an oil lamp in front of us and being upon it practically before we knew we were there; your group diminished in size as kids gradually reached their homes and were dropped off. On the way vehicles would appear from the murk, usually with drivers who were lost and asking directions I hope, but doubt, that our multiple and varied responses were of help!
Incidentally an expression on rain from those days was Its raining stair-rods for that heavy vertical rain that comes down in straight lines. You dont hear that now, but then you dont see stair-rods now either.

dxb, what is a stair-rod? Is it the vertical supports for the hand-railing, or the railing itself? Or something else entirely?

Which reminds me of the quote from the on-the-scene reporter at a hurricane a year or two ago, "The rain is coming down horizontally."

dxb, what is a stair-rod?
A stair rod was a thin rod, sometimes of quarter inch (6mm) diameter brass with a little knob on each end to finish it off nicely, sometimes wooden (in which case it had a right angled isosceles triangle cross section and was rather stouter, say 20mm a side, and varnished) that went across the stair at the bottom of each riser to hold the stair carpet in place. The rod itself was held in place with metal eyes, one at each end of the rod, that were screwed to the tread and riser of each step.
These days it is usual to hold the carpet with metal grippers that run across the stair screwed to the tread and riser of each step behind the carpet, hence you can't see them.
Hope that's clear.

I know it sounds illogical but that is the normal state of affairs in Newfoundland, especially for snow. Once in a while you get a snowstorm occurring somehow in the absence of wind, and you look outside to see the snow coming straight down, and you think to yourself - "My, doesn't that look odd? What is it? I can't quite put my finger on it". Then you realize that you just aren't used to snow or rain falling vertically!

Why, yes it is. I've seen stair rods before, especially in old historic buildings, but I never would have known what they are called. Thanks!

Jack Daniel's Sends "Most Polite Cease and Desist Letter Ever Written"
You know the old adage "You get more bees with honey than vinegar?" It seems Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey believes wholeheartedly in this approach judging from a recent cease and desist letter it sent to an author that the company felt was infringing on its trademarked label.
As reported in the Louisville Morning Call, Patrick Wensink, author of Broken Piano for President, recently shared the contents of the letter written by Jack Daniel's attorney Christy Susman:
We are certainly flattered by your affection for the brand, but while we appreciate the pop culture appeal of Jack Daniel's we also have to be diligent to ensure that Jack Daniel's trademarks are used correctly. Given the brand's popularity, it will probably come as no surprise that that we come across designs like this on a regular basis. What may not be so apparent, however, is that if we allow uses like this one, we run the very real possibility that our trademark will be weakened. As a fan of the brand, I'm sure that is not something you intended or would want to see happen.
The company even offered to help with costs associated with a new cover design, though Wensink insists his "publisher, Lazy Fascist Press, will not be taking them up on their offer. We're proudly independent and don't need any of that sweet corporate booze money to redo the cover."
Wensink calls the letter "perhaps the most polite cease and desist ever written," and we're inclined to agree.
Have you ever heard of a similarly polite cease and desist letter?

text: Comment by JohnP - March 12 2014 @ 04:16 AMGreat product. Just the right weight for winter here in the PNW. Very functional pockets and drawstring. Ankle cuffs are just right. I still have an older version of this product that has held up great for 15 years. Hoping these are just as durable.User Rating:

I feel the quality of the Mats are average but they were an average price. The driver's side mat does not fit over the trunk lock which I assume is on convertibles only (the left back corner nearest the door)

- Title
- Multimedia animations to enhance learning complex concepts in data communications
- Author(s)
- Leung, Ying K.; Pilgrim, Chris J.
- Abstract
- This paper first identifies the problems associated with the teaching of data communications and describes a composite learning system to facilitate instruction. This courseware for data communications consists of three major components---a series of printed lecture notes, a computer-managed learning system and a series of animated multimedia demonstrations. From our experience, the multimedia component is particularly useful for students to learn physical processes and abstract concepts that are best presented as simulated animations. Examples of the multimedia components are illustrated in this paper to show the effectiveness of this animated visual imagery over traditional illustrations.

General Information
The Investigation Section was formed July 23, 2000 by combining the Environmental Investigation Section and the Special Investigation Section. We increased the total number of investigators that could work on various investigations. Our primary goal is to assist all field conservation officers in major investigations and continue to specialize in environmental and long term fish and wildlife cases.
The Investigation Section works closely with the DNR Divisions of Water and Fish and Wildlife, as well as, other state agencies such as the Indiana Department of Environmental Management. The section also works with agencies such as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Environmental Protection Agency, the FBI and the Canadian Wildlife Service. The section receives information from a wide range of sources including federal, state, and local agencies, our field officers, and most importantly, the public.
To contact the section with a complaint, you may call the office at (317) 233-3848. You may also call the Turn in a Poacher or Polluter hotline directly at 1-800-TIP-IDNR or email a complaint.

This used to be my boyfriend
Parisa /Splash News, Frazer Harrison /Ethan Miller /Barry King /Getty Images
Oh come on. You didn't have a crush on Luke Skywalker? Fine. I did. Bad. In a pre-puberty way, I think, but still, it was a crush. Look at him back then! He was what a crush was supposed to look like. And you were too young to be annoyed by his f-cking whining. When he was bounding through the marsh while training with Yoda in a tank top and you didn't know why you needed to close your legs? Full Story
Xenu vs the Gays?
Carrie Fisher's HBO special Wishful Drinking, based on her one woman show which was based on her memoir, aired last night. Fisher has become something of a gay icon – her mother, her Leia-ness, her gay ex-husband, her attitude... She was interviewed again by The Advocate and was asked about John Travolta. Full Story

Noland Creek or Deep Creek
Has anyone fished/hiked/camped on Noland Creek lately? There haven't been any reports on the website and I'm thinking about hiking in and doing some fishing. Probably will stay at CS#65
Had thought about Deep Creek CS#60, as an alternative. Any opinions/advice?
noland creek and deep creek
I fished both creeks last Monday,Tuesday and Wed. I stayed at Deep Creek campground. I fished Noland Monday about a mile up from the parking lot and on Tuesday I went to Deep Creek. After about 3 hours on Deep Creek I got to thinking about Noland and packed up and went back there. I fished #14 elk hair caddis and #16 parachute adams and had a great time and caught some fish. All rainbows. Did nothing on Deep Creek.
Noland Creek Trip 10-10-07
Hiked up Noland Creek Trail to Campsite #65 (Bearpen Branch) on Wednesday afternoon and spent a chilly night in a great backcountry campsite with my two sons. For anyone thinking about taking a nice trip into the backcountry, I would highly recommend Noland Creek. It is a great place to take a family. The campsite was only 1.3 miles from the parking lot on a very easy trail, and it had nice level areas to pitch a tent with firegrates and picnic tables. The only downside that we found, was that there wasn't alot of downed firewood within .2 miles of the campsite, so we had to hoof it to collect some wood. The overnight temp dropped down to 40 so we definitely needed all the wood we could find.
I wasn't able to do any fishing, but from what I could tell (and what T-Mac had to say) it looks like Noland Creek is much better off than Deep Creek right now (and both are infinitely better than LR, and maybe even better than WPLP). I'm planning to head back up to Noland Creek either tomorrow or Sunday and will post a report afterwords.
Here are a few pics from the camping trip:

Most essential oils are safe and free of adverse side effects when used properly. However, as with any substance you are introducing into your body, it is important to use them intelligently. We recommend that you never eat or drink essential oils. You should pay attention to the following factors.
Be sure to clarify the recommended application method and concentration for the essential oil and intended use. And once again, don't ingest oils without professional guidance.
Please share your thoughts so we can improve this website! [1]
Toxicity rarely occurs with appropriate use of essential oils and is primarily attributed to misuse and accidental ingestion, especially in young children. Essential Oil Safety by Tisserand and Balacs, 1995, is a valuable reference to understanding potential toxicity and lethal dosages. Again, we recommend that you never eat or drink essential oils.
As stated earlier, it is important to note that most essential oils can not be applied directly to the skin (without being diluted). Refer to the section "How do I choose and use essential oils?" for more information on dilution and carrier oils.
In general, you should adjust dosages downward for children, but also use extra caution in choosing essential oils to be used in babies and children (or avoid use altogether). Some essential oils, such as peppermint, should not be used with children younger than six years old. Menthol-one of the major chemicals in peppermint oil-has caused breathing to stop in young children, and has caused severe jaundice in babies with G6PD deficiency (a common genetic enzyme deficiency) (Price & Price, 1999).
You should also exercise caution with essential oils if you are pregnant, since essential oils can cross the placental barrier and there is little clinical research in this area. Very gentle essential oils, such as true lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) are sometimes used by midwives during and after labor and delivery with favorable effects (Burns et al., 2000).
In general, however, similar cautions during pregnancy and infancy/early childhood should be used with essential oils as with other substances. If you are in doubt, contact a knowledgeable healthcare provider.
Always store essential oils out of reach of children, in bottles with single-drop dispensers. Accidental ingestion of amounts as small as a teaspoon has resulted in death.
A small proportion of people may experience skin irritation, allergic reactions, or cross-sensitivity to essential oils. Cross-sensitivity is the potential for an allergic reaction to similar substances (for example, if you are allergic to ragweed, you might also be allergic to chamomile essential oils).
Irritation is characterized by a rapid onset redness and pain in the skin exposed to the essential oil. It can occur with the first exposure. The skin generally heals without long-term problems, but you probably would not want to use the essential oil that caused the irritation again.
Some problems of this sort have been caused by oils adulterated with synthetic chemicals or chemically changed by exposure to heat or light over time. Thus, if you really like the essential oil that seemed to cause the skin irritation, you might try a different brand (following the guidelines given previously for choosing essential oils).
Contact sensitivity is a type of allergic reaction. This can happen anytime after the first exposure to an essential oil, and usually presents as an itchy rash or hives. This is caused by the immune system's response to one or more of the chemicals in the essential oil. The extent of the reaction may seem out of proportion to the amount of exposure. Again, old or altered essential oils are more likely to produce skin reactions (Tisserand & Balacs, 1995).
If you are someone who is taking a lot of prescription medication and/or has a lot of allergies, you should do a patch test by following the instructions below to check for skin irritation and sensitivity before using each essential oil.
To do a patch test:
Phototoxicity can occur after you apply an essential oil topically and then go out into the sun. This happens most often with certain citrus oils, such as bergamot, lemon, lime, orange, and angelica.
For example, if you spray yourself with a solution of orange essential oil and then lie out in the sun or in a tanning bed, you will most likely get a sunburn or even deeper burns.
As you can see, there are safety concerns associated with improper use of essential oils. In general, however, essential oils are safe when used externally (not ingested) in low concentrations. For skin applications, that usually means concentrations no higher than 5%. For inhalation, use intermittent exposure (not more than 15 minutes in an hour). There may not be any safety information on the bottle, but usage guidelines may be posted near sales displays, on company websites, or available through company sales representatives.
If in doubt, always consult a healthcare provider you trust who is knowledgeable about essential oils or willing to investigate with you. There is a great deal of information about essential oils available on the internet, and it may be difficult to critically determine its integrity.
General safety recommendations include:

The Fur (& Feather!) Flyer
Established in 1965, HAWS assists over 6,000 animals and welcomes more than 31,000 human visitors annually. As an "open admissions" shelter we lead the community in animal welfare and assure sanctuary for all animals in need, regardless of age, health or temperament. HAWS is a non-profit, entirely donor-fund organization with an active humane education program, and both wildlife and companion animal rescue services for Waukesha County.

Not Just Packers vs. Eagles
We have plenty of Green Bay Packers fans here at HAWS, and this weekend's matchup with Philly is a common topic of discussion - in and outside of work.
But, as many know, it isn't just about the teams when one of the teams has Michael Vick as their QB.
"So, since you're all about animals, how do YOU feel about Michael Vick?"
Most of my co-workers and I have gotten asked this question in the past, but the questions are more direct this week. (I can honestly say that my opinion on the matter is no different now than it has been for the past several years: What Vick did to the dogs in his "care" was beyond cruel and inhumane, and I was glad to see he was punished and imprisoned.)
But has he paid his debt to society? Is he truly sorry? Has he changed? Does he deserve to be back in the NFL? I wish I could definitively answer those questions, but I can't. And I know I wouldn't really have the intestinal fortitude to meet the man and ask him in person.
So the debate continues. THAT, however, is the silver lining! (Really, there is one - keep reading.)
As long as Vick is playing (well) and is in the spotlight, the debate and the issue of dog fighting remains in the public eye. His "fame" allows for continued awareness of the problem of dog fighting, its cruelty and pervasiveness (don't kid yourself, dog fighting is going on in Wisconsin). It gives the animal welfare world a great opportunity to teach how wrong dogfighting is, and we can take more steps towards ending it.
I'm not as big-hearted as a dog - the species is incredibly forgiving and loves us no matter what. All the more reason to welcome the "Vick question," and I have an answer at the ready:
"I'm glad you asked that. For me, it's not about Vick, but about the dogs. Here's what you can do to help..."
By the way - Pitbulls, pit mixes...all the "bully" breeds make GREAT pets. Don't discount them because of the stereotypes or negative images you see. Do your research - talk to pit owners and their families - and THEN decide.
Even if you aren't the lucky guardian of a Pit, you can help dispel the myths about them. No, they're not pre-disposed to being mean or to fight - like any dog they are the product of their environment. (Bite cases involving Golden Retrievers are more common!) Like any intelligent, strong and active breed, when given structure, training, exercise and love, a Pit Bull is a fantastic companion. They're lovers, not fighters...

With Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix due soon in theaters and the book release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows imminent, children, pre-teens and functionally retarded adults across America can sigh with relief: Their favorite boy wizard is back. But are kids, young adults and the mentally stupid Potter's target audience anymore? Both the films and their source material, J.K. Rowling's book series, have increasingly started to incorporate dark, violent subject matter. In the place of fantastical creatures, childhood wish fulfillment fantasy and schools of fatherly wizards, we now have hideously deformed and fanged dark lords, soul-stealing wraiths and parents murdered on-screen.
Was it always like this, and we just didn't notice? Below, six reasons why the popular children's series has always had its dark side.
6Moaning Myrtle: Creepy and Depressing
Moaning Myrtle, a ghost who haunts the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry, is clearly meant to be adorable: She talks in cutesy baby-talk, wears big nerdy glasses and seems to harbor a quiet crush on our hero, Harry Potter. Aww.
She's so adorable, in fact, that it's easy to forget that we're talking about the tormented specter of a child who's doomed to exclusively haunt middle school bathrooms. Assuming she's into it, you've got a pubescent dead voyeur watching school-age boys use the toilet. Assuming she's not, you've got a murdered child who's forced to hang out in a smelly-ass bathroom for all eternity.
Either way, holy Hell, is that some dark shit. Children who read this book will probably have difficulty using public restrooms for the rest of their lives, forever looking over their shoulders while dropping deuces, fearful that they're being scrutinized by an underage poltergeist with a weird bathroom fetish. Thanks a lot, Rowling. We'll be sending you our psychiatrist bills.
5Harry Potter: Bad Role Model
Not to give too much away, but as the Harry Potter series progresses, Harry-our lovable Everyman protagonist-starts dating his best friend's sister. Granted, if our experiences were any judge, it's not like most of the douches you meet in college need J.K. Rowling's approval to start seeing your sister or girlfriend behind your back. Nonetheless, that's a little creepy. It's difficult to imagine wanting to help your best friend defeat Voldemort when you know he'll be celebrating afterwards by casting "Disapearro Clothesimo" on your sister.
To her credit, Rowling tries to temper the example set by Harry by teaching us that your best friend's sister is almost always secretly possessed by some manner of dark lord. Still, we're pretty sure there are subtler ways of teaching children who to date than suggesting that a crush on their pal's kid sister involves getting roped into a creepy three-way with a noseless Ralph Fiennes.

David Allen Caledonia Construction Company
Looking for dealsBio: nOur rehabbing company, Caledonia Construction was founded in 2002 as a general contracting Home Improvement company with a focus on small home remodeling projects,... More and the property management sector, as an apartment turnover specialist. We excelled and became the go to vender for a number of property management companies in Boston, including Winn Residential and Maloney Properties. nnnIn 2004, we decided to go after larger contracts and won our first $300,000 whole-house remodeling contract the same year. This experience paved the way for a joint venture partnership with a competitor, Woodland Construction. Along the way, we built new multi-family properties, constructed additions and remodeled homes for clients in Metro Boston, resulting in a $10 Million dollar revenue operation by 2007. nnHow this all started: A message from David Allen, Founder of Caledonia Construction Company:nI came to the United States in 1990. On entering the country I joined the construction trade in a residential remodeling company operated by two of my cousins. In 1993, at one of the low points of the housing market, the three of us pooled our resources and bought a distressed property for three thousand cash. We rehabbed the property completely, rented it for a time, and sold it in 1995. nThis exposure quickly taught me many things about the construction and real estate business including the fact that the management skills in my cousins' operation were inadequate to effectively grow their business. And, with my interest in the construction business now high I decided to educate myself about the business. Subsequently, in the Fall of 1993 I enrolled in the Business Management Program at the University of Massachusetts, Boston with a goal to learn how to operate a business. Over the ensuing four years I worked a full time job while studying full time, graduating in 1997 with a Bachelor's degree in Marketing. nThe experiences proved invaluable in further developing my understanding of business systems, business development and customer relations, and have contributed directly to my decision to become a business owner.nSo, in 2002 I acquired my Construction Supervisor License and founded Caledonia Construction. And have since developed Caledonia into a recognized brand in building exterior improvement and home performance improvement services in the Boston market. nWhy are we in it? For 22 yearn now, I have been in and around home improvement projects. I have seen many businesses failed mainly because they did not value enough the customer satisfaction aspect of the home improvement business. Caledonia has come to appreciate the importance of keeping the home improvement customer satisfied. After all, we are in her home pulling things apart while she and her family is trying to live a normal life. In truth, this is very different from the customer interaction that is spoken of in the retail business space, where often as a formality onn Less

Posted: The following five initial essential skills for deal evaluation are important factors in helping to determine whether the lead you are evaluating is a deal or a... More
Furthermore, you must be able to evaluate a deal quickly otherwise you will never be able to increase the number of leads you look at in the course of a month.
After determining the essentials, and realizing that there is money to be made, the deal requires further evaluation to confirm all your initial figures, assumptions, and expectations. If you have pre-screened your lead properly you should have most of the five essentials solidly in place before doing any further evaluation. But what are these essentials?
Step 1: Determine Motivation
The first essential is the seller's motivation for selling their property. This is readily obtainable by asking a simple, concise question, "Mr. or Mrs. Seller, is there a
particular reason why you are interested in selling at this time?"
You will find most motivated sellers will readily divulge this information, and those who question why you need this information typically have no motivation to sell.
The answer to this question will not make or break a deal but, the answer is a great starting point in separating the #deals from the duds. If the seller responds by saying, "I'm just trying to see if I can get my price...there is probably little motivation to sell and it is unlikely to result in a workable deal.
On the other hand, if the seller responds by saying, "The property needs a lot of work and has been vacant for a while", you may have a lead that justifies spending more time and paying closer attention.
Step 2: What is the Least the Seller Is Willing to Take for the Property
The next important piece of information you need from the seller is how much they are currently asking for the property.
This is one of the most important questions you need to ask during your initial phone conversation.
This will help determine whether or not the property is worth looking at and give you a starting point in the negotiations. Depending on how well you know the neighborhood you can sometimes determine the likelihood of a deal from the answer to this question alone. Occasionally you will have a seller who openly says "I am just looking to get out of debt."
This response doesn't necessarily mean the deal is a slam dunk, as he or she may owe more than the property is worth, however, a response of this type always corresponds with some level of motivation. We will need more information to further classify the lead as a deal or a dud but seeing such motivating factors is a step in the right direction.
Step 3: Determine What the Seller Owes
The next important information about the property and general circumstance of the deal for us to determine, is the seller's level of debt. This is an important piece of the overall equation and you should begin determining this in your initial phone call with the seller based on the lead interview sheet.
Be sure to determine the total debt against the property and the composition of that debt whether it be a first mortgage amount, second mortgage amount, judgment lien amounts, IRS lien amounts, or some other form of debt. After you know the debt information and how much the seller wants for the property you can infer how much equity the seller thinks he has established.
Again, this amount is just the seller's perception of how much he or she is initially willing to sell the house for versus how much is owed.
Step 4: Estimate the Repair Costs
During you initial conversation with the seller try to determine a ball park figure for the repair costs for the property.
Now, being the trustworthy people that all sellers are (mild hint of sarcasm), they always portray their property as being in much better condition then it actually is. There are a few leading questions you can ask that will make the seller divulge a bit more information about the property than might otherwise come to light.
Asking the seller if the property needs work will probably get you nowhere. However asking, "If you were planning on staying in the property for an additional two to three years is there anything you would fix or replace?"
This pointed question will go a long way toward helping you determine how much work the property needs and whether or not the property is worth visiting.
Step 5: Determining the After Repair Value and the As-Is Value
The final two pieces of initial information you need to properly classify the deal as worthwhile or not are the 'As-Is' and 'After Repair' values.
To do this you will need access to comparable sales or "comps" as most real estate ##investors call them. If you've made great relationship with a local Realtor who can get these comps from the Multiple Listing Service that is one #option There are also a variety of different services available online.
You want to locate comps that are geographically close to the property (1/2 mile or less), and similar in size and style to your subject property. This will help you determine the After Repair Value or what the property is worth when you are done fixing the property.
These comparables will also help you determine the As-Is value of the property or what the property is worth as it sits right now. Like the repair figures, these values are only estimates until you can actually perform a more detailed on-site evaluation.
At this point being aware of market values and the selling price of properties in the neighborhood in question becomes a very important piece of the puzzle.
The better you know the specific area, the more accurate your in-office As-IS and ARV estimates will become.
Knowing your market area well strengthens your ability to evaluate any deal.
Being able to accurately comp properties, for every property, is what will give you confidence to make the right offer every time.

Mark McLaughlin Contractor : Mark McLaughlin
Looking for Multi-familydeals
In: East Weymouth MA, Dorchester MA, Quincy MA, Boston MA
In: East Weymouth MA, Dorchester MA, Quincy MA, Boston MA
Licensed ContractorBio: My name is Mark McLaughlin. I have been interested in the renovation of properties since drawing sketches of layouts in high school. I never went to college, yet... More have always had the burning desire to learn. No matter where I have been or what i'm doing in life, if I do not know what i am seeing, watching, or doing it captivates my interest.. That is until I have a solid understanding of who, what,when,where,why and how an idea, task, or process is.
Starting the summer of high school as a dump truck driver for a small family owned construction company out of my hometown, just looking for some scratch to get around and enjoy my freedom at the time. I quickly fell in love going to site after site picking up all the debris. As I would clean and clear the job site to keep everyone moving and working efficiently it would give me time to see this process of building homes. New structures, marrying an addition onto the side or top of ones house to make it look as it was always there, renovating an attic space or basement to accommodate the "man cave" or extra bedrooms needed for the growing family, or simply renovating and existing house to bring an updated appeal of the owners character and taste into the space. This world was something that had always interested me and now I could walk around inside of it and began picking everyone's brain to see how every piece of the puzzle came out of the box and was put together.
I skipped out on going to Northeastern, a decision I still wonder if it was against my better judgement yet I feel as though things have worked out regardless due to a solid work ethic instilled by my parents, and the constant burning for understanding and knowledge. I began working as a carpenter after that summer when the company owner had come to ask if I would like to work for him. It was an honor that after only 2 months of driving a dump truck, they thought enough of me to join their team. After a few months of maintenance work with the company I was assigned to a foreman as an apprentice. 5 years with this foreman and it was not enough. He was the type of carpenter that had been around seen it all and was creative. There is a textbook method to every process, but working with Steve got you to look at a task, difficult or not, and come up with the solution in your own way, not just the textbook process of putting things together. It is construction and I do not seem to make it more than that, however if you have ever been on a job site, everything does not go according to plan and sometimes without proper scheduling and communication things could go awry. Steve was your man when things went awry and he was constantly called upon in these situations. Not always happy to be called into these situations, yet he was experienced and creative enough to get the job done no matter the circumstances and still maintain the desired outcome. It was invaluable the experience I received working with Steve. I soaked it all up and stayed involved in everything he did. I was his shadow. From the commercial end, (renovating banks, nursing homes, ATM swap outs, Retail space) to the residential end, (site work, framing, insulating, sheetrock and drywall, finish work, stair work, kitchens, baths, built-in and custom cabinetry, porches, decks, roofing, siding, flooring) there was nothing we didn't come across. Better yet nothing that was too much for Steve.
Once Steve and I split up I was brought in Boston, working with another one of the brothers on the brownstones. This was another type of building altogether with each building being tied into one another, some 70-80 years since their last renovation, inside a brick shell, much more masonry than i was used to working with Steve on all the commercial and residential projects we encountered. Simpler in a way yet the process was different with historical societies involved and working in a densely populated area like the city, parking, building, materials, everything was much harder to come by..This forced you to plan ahead and be far more efficient with your time and planning, because time is money and you could lose a lot of both with the many variables constantly juggled working in a situation like downtown Boston. Being an Eagle Scout helped with leading and teamwork in this setting. At 24 I successfully completed a renovation of a brownstone on Beacon Hill with a crew of 4 men, (myself, another carpenter, and 2 laborers I noticed a work ethic that I noticed could keep up with the pace i preferred to perform at). From demo to the finish cleaning crew walking out the door, I was involved with the architect, homeowner, project managers, subcontractors, from start to finish. I had a great mentor in my boss and leader. He let me run and perform full steam ahead as I had asked him stepping in from time to time and checking on me, correcting my mistakes and constructively criticizing methods and process he had preferred and seen work for himself and others he managed over the years. Extremely professional and expertly spoken, he was quite the mentor to follow. This is where I began my desire for not just the hands on portion of construction with all my coworkers getting dirty and bringing a physical product to life, but now an appreciation for all the behind the scenes goings on of how a project of this magnitude and complication can come to fruition. I now needed to learn how to work on both sides of the fence. Be in the field and be a guys guy, as well as throw on a dress shirt, and a pair of khakis to sell, bid, and manage the job. Win over a homeowner and convince them you and your team are the people for them in an industry with such competition.
After completing this job on Beacon Hill and my new appreciation for both sides of the industry and the professionality it takes to waltz from one side to the other while maintaining everyones good graces, from homeowners, to coworkers, to my superiors proved to be a challenging task. I loved the rush and enjoyed the challenge. From the smaller cabinet installs, to 5,000 square foot renovations (3 or 4 going at the same time) as well as the many issues to attend to and schedules to keep in now what was a company that employed almost 100 employees at times. the years from 24-29 were another 5 years where I could not have gained this type of experience anywhere else.
After the now 12 years I had soaking everything up from my time at the company where I started out just driving a dump truck for a high school summer job to running up to 30 people at a time and multiple jobs at a time I started to get the itch to now own my own business and began looking into lining work up for myself. I had by the age of 30 flipped three houses on the side while still working for the business I was with and taking on as many side projects I could keep up with. I've been called a workaholic, but I love what I do and to me creating a new home for someone, all the while keeping up with the ever changing styles and decor.
Since starting on my own I have come in contact with an investor who has many helpful contacts, and a team that I have started working with and we are 8 weeks into our first project moving ahead of schedule and under budget. With everything mentioned above and my current team and partner in place, as well as the current status of the real estate market we are looking for investors to take on more projects at the same time and keep the profits rolling into future and larger projects.
Please contact me if working with myself or my team feels like it might be a right fit for you. Less
