SANDOWN – After months of stalled progress on obtaining an agreement over use of the train depot museum, the board of selectmen has told the historical society to sign a selectmen-created document as is or turn in their keys.
The decision, made at a special meeting held Thursday, Feb. 27, was the result of members of the society ignoring directions the selectmen gave them at their Monday, Feb. 24 meeting, as previously reported by the Tri-Town Times. After a heated discussion over the matter Feb. 24, the selectmen stated that either the society sign the selectmen's agreement or they'd find another use for the building. While society members present, president Bruce Robinson and Bob Brouder, appeared to agree to do just that, by the next morning Robinson had changed the official town document before handing it in.
At the Feb. 24 meeting, selectmen said they were fed up with what they saw as Robinson's giving them the run-around, and by Feb. 27, their opinions had not changed.
The depot is owned by the town, and as the governing body, the board of selectmen has responsibility over the structure.
Last year, following concerns that proposed changes to the building could have knocked it off the state or national historic registers, together with reluctance to pay exorbitant heating bills, the board began taking a closer interest in the structure.
Part of that work included inviting experts on historic preservation to the site to give opinions about how to move forward with the building and how grants for improvements might be obtained.
Concurrently the selectmen decided that like towns and historical societies across the state, there should be a use agreement between the town and the society.
While the first "boiler-plate" agreement met with dislike by both the selectmen and society because of its heavy handedness, since then the selectmen have been working with the society to come to agreeable terms.
But progress never seems to be made, and no definite ideas on how to move forward had been reached after several meetings between the groups.
Typically the pattern is that selectmen provide a document to the society, ask them to propose changes they're comfortable with, and come back at a later meeting to discuss those changes so that both sides can agree. But when the society comes back, members generally haven't discussed the selectmen's document as agreed upon, or have replaced it with their own.
At one point it was noted that Robinson had not forwarded the selectmen's agreement to the rest of his group.
While selectmen have praised the society for making great strides in cleaning up the building as volunteers, they are adamant that an agreement needs to be in hand.
On Feb. 27, the selectmen drafted a letter and gave the society 10 days, until Monday, March 10, at 4 p.m., to sign the agreement.
"I'm just done. I'm done working with this guy (Robinson)," said selectman Hans Nicolaisen. "It's up to us. It's our building. I'm so frustrated with the president of the historical society."
Selectman chair Tom Tombarello said the entire process had been ridiculous and that he was also fed up. "I can't say we haven't put our best foot forward here," said Tombarello.
The selectmen's agreement is just over a page long and would be in effect for a single year. It specifies that the Town of Sandown owns the building but that the historical society has voter permission to utilize it. It states that the historical society is responsible for operating expenses (electricity only) and winterization costs. The building is not heated, as selectmen recently took out the heating tanks in response to high heating costs.
The document indicates that the society can heat the building if it handles installation and upkeep costs.
It also indicates that the town will handle insurance costs for the building and that it is responsible for any major repairs and improvements to the interior and exterior of the structure.
The document states that because the building is a historic landmark, any changes contemplated by the society must first be approved by the selectmen. It also indicates that every effort will be made to have representation from both parties present during decisions regarding repairs or changes to the building, but cannot be guaranteed because of potential urgency or matters beyond the control of either party.
The last paragraph includes when the building can be open, from April 15 until Oct. 15, and prohibits use of portable heaters or other heating sources without approval by the selectmen.
The document the society presented to the board deletes the portion of the last paragraph detailing open dates and adds a section that would force the selectmen to inform the society of any alterations or pending work to the building, a sticking point for Robinson.
Both items were discussed by the selectmen Feb. 24, but it was agreed the society should sign the document unchanged and come back before the board to add any language or make changes.
While there was some discussion about what the town would do with all of the historical items within the depot if it were closed, no decisions were made. Nicolaisen said he hoped the society would add members, or without Robinson, come back to work with the town.
Nicolaisen noted the history of the town is important and some people enjoyed visiting the depot, and he didn't want to see that go away.

New tornado app revealed by American Red Cross
Severe Weather Awareness Week in North Carolina
NEW BERN, CRAVEN COUNTY - Twelve tornadoes touched down in Eastern North Carolina on April 16th, 2011. Twelve people were killed, dozens of homes destroyed and Greene County Middle School was damaged. As we enter this year's severe weather season, there is a new tornado app from the American Red Cross that could help alert your family to severe weather danger.
"It's an early warning system for tornado watches and warnings," said Tom Monte, Vice President of the Board of the Coastal Carolina American Red Cross.
This one app has simple steps and checklists people can use to create an emergency plan and share with your family. There are tools such as a flashlight, strobe light and an alarm.
The app helps you prepare before the storm, alerts you during the storm and when the storm is over, one touch lets your friends and family know that you are ok.
"It auto-fills a text message of an email, and then you can sent it to a family member or a friend and tell them that you are safe," said Monte.
The American Red Cross already has a hurricane app. It was looked at 15 million times during Superstorm Sandy and was downloaded 400,000 times.
"It's an important app in that it will provide you with some safety," said Monte.
As NewsChannel12 tracks storms this severe weather season, you can help yourself to be severe weather ready.
If you would like to download this app, go here.

Eight months after signing an agreement to offer software from VMware to its customers, Tech Data has expanded the relationship to include Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) solutions based on VMware's vSphere and vCloud Hybrid Service technology.
In addition, the Clearwater, Florida, distribution giant said it will soon unveil a new education program designed to help accelerate the cloud businesses of its solution provider customers.
"This is a great opportunity for our customers to provide a cost-effective, business continuity solution to small and medium-sized businesses that need or may have forgone this capability," said Stacy Nethercoat, vice president of Software and Cloud Services at Tech Data.
Solutions like DRaaS, she said, are particularly attractive to managed service providers and other solution providers who have seen margin erosion in in their basic services businesses.
Speaking with Channel Partners from the TechSelect Partner Conference underway this week in Orlando, Nethercoat said Tech Data has been building out its cloud portfolio for more than two years, first by adding technology building blocks from Cisco, Microsoft, VMware and others, and is now moving into more specific solutions such as DRaaS to help its customers. She said she was particularly excited to add the DRaaS technology from VMware because it is based on "market-leading technology."
Today, approximately 2,500 Tech Data customers regularly turn to Tech Data for VMware technology. Nethercoat wouldn't say how many more will flock to its SolutionsStore to get the VMware-based DRaaS solution, but was fully confident that those that do will see their VMware and cloud sales grew appreciably.
To that end, she said Tech Data is preparing a new set of education offerings grouped into a new program designed to help partners accelerate their cloud practices. Due in a mere "few weeks," Nethercoat said the new education program will provide self-guided learning to partners interested in taking their cloud practices to another level. The goal is to distinguish those that are ready to launch a cloud practice, expand one or maximize the return on one that is reaching maturity.

Despite billions being spent already, the Obama administration argues that more Pell grants are needed. But continuing to increase federal subsidies for higher education could actually exacerbate inefficiencies and tuition hikes. Read More.
Dept. of Education proposed regulations would raise costs and harm student educational opportunity. Instead of limiting competition, the Education Dept. should explore measuring educational outcomes and improving quality. Read More.
Instead of expanding federal college subsidies and loans, policymakers should focus on lowering college costs by increasing competition among higher education providers by using technology and online learning. Read More.
Obama Administration proposals to increase college graduation will have a negative impact on for-profit universities by capping costs if they accept federal subsidies. Read More.
The cost of college is a growing problem for Americans. Instead of increasing federal subsidies for higher education, which has not lowered costs, policies should encourage savings-based, rather than debt-based, college financing. Moreover, policies should allow the free market to work to reduce college costs and encourage innovations in online learning.

So we've seen how the Lumia 920 holds up when attached to the front of a Land Rover, or at live concerts, but what's the quality like when you're (like many) recording while grooving to the beat? We decided to head on down to the Deadmau5 event in Brixton, London last night to see how our Lumia 920s would perform in low light, with high volume levels and an obscene amount of movement.

text: Before construction begins, everyone involved attempts to do one thing: predict the future in order to minimize the risk of unforeseen events that might delay the project's completion. Owners, developers, contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers, sureties, financial institutions, insurers, and vendors all want the project to be done well, and done on time. Why? Because one or more of them will have to eat the costs of substandard work or a delayed result, and that can be very expensive. Construction delays are extremely dangerous: they can slow the project, or even bring it to a halt. Every construction project, from the smallest home addition to the tallest skyscraper, shares the same basic life cycle: (1) planning; (2) design; (3) construction; and (4) finalization. Construction delays seriously impact each of these phases, and additional articles provide information regarding pre-construction and post-construction issues. Here, dealing with delays during construction is addressed. What Delays Construction? It is inevitable that delays will occur during the construction of a project. No matter how detailed the advanced planning or how intricate the contract documents, it is impossible to totally remove the reality of construction delay. Materials and Labor Handoffs It is understood among construction professionals that materials will be needed that haven't arrived, or materials will arrive early and need to be stored on-site. Deliveries cannot be scheduled to arrive exactly on the day they are needed. Plus, no subcontractor can be exactly sure when another sub's crew will be ready to turn over an area to his group, so he can have the exact number of men he needs on-site to immediately take over the area. There will be an understandable delay with each transition, or "handoff" of the work areas, as carpenters and plumbers and electricians and HVAC specialists each take their turns in various project locations. During the building of a custom home, there may be between 100 and 200 handoffs, each adding in a small time lag or delay. Weather Weather will be a factor. Historical weather records can be obtained for the area from reputable sources such as the National Oceanographic & Atmospheric Association's weather service website (www.nws.noaa.gov). Depending upon the geographical area, and the project's time allotment, additional days can be calculated as "rain days" or "snow days" based upon historical precedent. Waiting for materials is simply a part of the process, as is work waiting for workers to arrive. So is changing weather. Rain stops construction. Droughts delay landscaping. Weather conditions also impact suppliers, and may even damage the site. The Unexpected Crisis These are understood, predictable construction delays that are more easily identified and addressed in contract documents and project timetables. An experienced contractor can estimate how much time handoffs will take, as well as time lags in material deliveries, along with rain days, and time can be added into the schedule to accommodate these events before they happen. However, the trickier aspect of predicting the time a project will need for completion comes with the unexpected issues, such as unforeseen ground conditions; owner interference, through design changes or financing concerns; and errors in the plans or specifications. Usually, these unexpected issues are serious and complex problems that can throw a project into crisis. Minimizing the Delays Once construction has begun, the window of opportunity to address delay issues in the planning and contracting phases has shut. However, there are still strategies to be implemented to minimize delay, such as: 1. Insure proper permits are in place before each phase of the construction. 2. Insure proper site access. 3. Insure proper on-site security to minimize theft of materials and equipment. 4. Have safety training programs as well as plans in place for emergencies (medical and otherwise). On-the-job injuries cause delay. 5. Hire only the most experienced personnel for every position. 6. Owners should minimize their change requests, and in response to any requested changes, change directives and change orders should immediately follow. 7. Insure daily communication between contractor, subcontractors, and suppliers to streamline the work/labor scheduling process. 8. Insure healthy communication between owner, architect, and contractor on progress and attempt prompt resolution of any problems that arise. 9. Monitor all cost and time schedule impacts due to turnover and production changes. 10. Remember to consider the impact of union labor (minimum hourly wages, requisite hours per day, likelihood of union work stoppages) into labor needs. The Law Recognizes the Impact of Time Delays The law addresses the time component in construction, and both legislation and court cases abound that attempt to deal justly with the issues of construction delays, since someone must bear the burden of their cost in both time and money. Over time, general contractors have been held financially responsible for construction delays unless certain criteria are met. If the parties wish to allocate risk in a different manner than the manner provided in the applicable state law, they can do so within the contract via a variety of "delay damages" clauses. In essence, the law instructs the contractor to document the delay in great detail, and thereafter, the burden for that delay will be assessed based upon its character. In most states, a contractor assumes the delay cost unless it is shown to be: (1) excusable; (2) compensable; (3) critical; and (4) non-concurrent. Excusable If the delay resulted from an issue that no one could have reasonably foreseen, then it is deemed "excusable" under the law. Likewise, if the delay could have been prevented, but wasn't, and it was caused by someone other than the contractor, then it is also considered "excusable" as to the contractor. The contract documents usually define "excusable" delays. Examples include acts of God, severe weather delays, labor union strikes, and design changes requested by the owner. Conversely, "unexcusable" delays are those that the general contractor could have kept from happening. Examples include late deliveries by a supplier, and cash-flow problems. Compensable Again, the contract documents generally define what delay damages will be compensable. "No damages for delay" clauses are commonplace, and yet, are dealt with differently from state to state. Whether or not the contract, and/or state law, will allow the contractor to be compensated for a specific delay cost will depend upon the specific circumstance. Critical If the event did not impact the timely completion of the project, then it was not critical to its timing and technically, it is not a delay cost for which the contractor can get reimbursement. Non-Concurrent Two delays that happen at the same time are "concurrent delays" and whether or not the contractor can be reimbursed for a concurrent delay depends upon many factors: the contract language, the relationship between the delays, the state law on concurrent delay damages, etc. Usually, non-concurrent delays are the only delay costs that a general contractor can claim. Documenting Delays During Construction Even in the most harmonious of relationships, fully documenting the delays as they occur is recommended: a genial owner, understanding and willing to undertake the cost of a delay today, may reconsider that position by the time that the project is finished. Written documentation is in everyone's best interests. Owners and Architects Owners should inspect the construction as it progresses, asking questions and making notes in a chronological fashion. Architects should, likewise, keep detailed records of the building progress especially since they are likely to be approving construction as well as approving payments. Both should keep detailed records, including dates and times for all communications; details of all conversations dealing with delay, including references made to any specific event, along with the pages of the design documents that are involved; and both should feel free to record their field inspections with photographs or videotape. Contractors Contractors, however, should include specific documentation within their records when unexpected construction delays occur pursuant to the requirements of both applicable law and the individual contract. Contractors not wanting to bear the cost of a delay should: 1. Give Written Notice of the Event This should be done according to the terms of the contract, which may have detailed requirements on what the notice should say, who should receive it, and how long the contractor has to give the notice, or risk forfeiting the claim. 2. Document The Event The event itself should be documented in the contractor's records, with information including the date of the event; who saw the event and their contact information; who received notice and when it was sent; how the event impacts construction, both long-term and short-term (including references to pages in the plans and specifications); how it increases the cost of the project; and all communications dealing with the event, including proposed change orders and RFIs. Photographs or videotapes should be taken, and kept in the documentation. 3. Create a Separate Delay File for Each Event Original documents should remain in the ongoing record-keeping system, and copies kept here, to document the event. This separate file is easier to use if any disputes arise at a later date: it is much easier to pull these separate files and attend a meeting, mediation, or meeting with counsel than to bring the larger project files. 4. Change the Time Schedule Calculate how the event has changed the timeline, and keep copies of both schedules (pre-event and post-event).

Barrington couple pen their first book
Ever feel bad for the heel of a loaf of bread?
Jennifer and Lance Vachon have.
The husband and wife couple recently published a children's book entitled "Bread over Heels." The rhyming, illustrated narrative follows the life of Endy Heel, who spends day after day watching fellow pieces of bread plucked for sandwiches and toast as the possibility of mold or even worse, the trash bucket, draws near.
It's a light-hearted children's tale that the couple put together collaboratively. Mrs. Vachon had the initial idea for the book.
"I had always had it in my mind that I would love to write a children's book about the heel of a bread ... It's always the neglected piece," she said.
The idea picked up steam a few years ago. Mr. Vachon had a slow day at work and returned home after culling together a substantial portion of the book's rhymes. Mrs. Vachon did a little editing to the work and the couple began seeking a publisher.
"Lance is the one with the gift of rhyme," Mrs. Vachon said.
The search led them to Tate Publishing, based in Oklahoma, which published the book on Nov. 14. Tate also illustrated the book.
A potential new endeavor as children's authors rounds out an interesting résumé for the pair. Mr. Vachon currently works in the automotive sales industry representing the third generation of a family business. He owns Lance Buick GMC in Mansfield, Mass. The two also have a real estate business. They've purchased, renovated and sold about one home a year for the last 15 years.
Today, however, the two are authors and last week the husband and wife had their first official book-reading.
Mr. and Mrs. Vachon were the featured guests at a Nayatt School author event. Mr. Vachon introduced the book while Mrs. Vachon read it page-by-page before her son's class.
"I was a little nervous, reading to 40 little eyes," Mrs. Vachon said.
Though the two have yet to receive any sales numbers on the book, both said the feedback they've received has been positive. Mr. Vachon said parents and grandparents alike were looking for copies after last week's reading.
"They all loved it," he said.
Meanwhile, work is already underway on Mr. and Mrs. Vachon's next effort. It's called "Cedar Walks Sideways." The book's protagonist, Cedar, is the family dog and as the title implies, the dog tends to a walk a bit off-center. Like "Bread over Heels," the "Cedar Walks Sideways" is a rhyming book. It's also slated to have a theme of acceptance.
"It's really fun," said Mr. Vachon of writing.
"I'd love to keep doing them."

Cutie Pie - Armie Hammer
Armie Hammer in J. Edgar
All rights reserved by emrahozcan
Hmm, what to say about Armie Hammer? Well, for one, he's like a live action Ken doll with better hair. His voice is like melted chocolate without the calories. He could have sat on his gorgeous tush and lived off his father's fortune (dad is oil tycoon Armand Hammer), but instead he pursued an acting career. And, speaking of acting, homeboy has skills.
After several eclectic roles (Winklevoss twins in The Social Network, Clyde Tolson in J. Edgar, and Prince Alcott in Mirror Mirror), don't be surprised if Armie is the next big thing. He's my number one pick to play Christian Grey in the film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey. For now, I will just wait patiently for him to come to screen opposite Johnny Depp as The Lone Ranger, in theaters 2013. Masked men are my weakness.
Time to scooch over, Channing Tatum, there's a new hotness in town.

Online Dating or as I like to call it, "What the F*@k Am I Going to Wear?"
All rights reserved by Whybealone1
Why online dating blows out my flip-flop:
1) It's like a having a second job where you're constantly refining your search, hiring and firing employees on a daily basis, and you get paid in text bombs by guys who can't take a hint.
2) You have the same first date over and over again. My favorite joke about a giraffe in a bar is no longer funny (actually, I was the only person who ever laughed at that one).
3) All the dating sites are turning into overly done versions of Hot or Not.
4) Seeing your ex online a week after he broke up with you. NOT FUN.
5) You cannot smell people online. Enough said.
5) You cannot smell people online. Enough said.
Why online dating party rocks:
1) It's so much easier to Google stalk someone when you've got a whole page about them to go on. Unless they're a big fat liar. Even then, it's a good method for weeding out the big fat liars.
2) You could be wearing a ratty old tank top and a pair of TOMS your puppy chewed up and no one is the wiser.
3) You get to choose your first impression through carefully chosen photographs. And on a side note: ladies, stop doing the overhead, look-down-my-shirt shot. You are fooling no one. You have curves. He's going to see them when he meets you in person anyway. Get over it and find a guy who likes some meat on his woman, à la Fifty Shades.
4) If you're a girl, and you search your competition, you get to laugh at other chicks who think doing fish lips makes them look hot. Huge self-esteem booster. By the way, I thank the stars every day straight men doing fish lips has not become a thing.
5) When you find the right guy, it truly makes all the nonsense worthwhile.

Table for One
I've had somewhat of an epiphany over the past few months. After numerous dating disasters, I decided to delete all of my online dating profiles. At first, I just "hid" them. I really didn't feel like taking an hour to recreate profiles all over again because of one rash decision due to yet another bad date. But, the problem with those sites is that they hit you up when you least expect it. I'd be grading papers in my classroom and I'd get an email from Match.com telling me that seven men just winked at me. Really? How is this possible when my account is supposed to be hidden? So, of course I just HAD to look. Clever, Match.com, very clever.
After another month of this back and forth dance, I finally pulled the plug. Now what was I going to do? About
half three-fourths of my social life had consisted of going on dates. What was I supposed to do to fill all this extra time? I reached out to friends and started third-wheeling it to different events and get-togethers. We'll call this the Bridget Jones phase of my pre-epiphany. A couple things I learned about being a third-wheel:
1) I'm kind of a fun chick to hang around
2) unless you give me Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka.
I did end up meeting a couple guys through my friends. But, after years of disappointment, I think I've created this shell around my heart that's becoming increasingly harder to crack. I slowly started to realize that I needed some time to be by myself. Like, totally by myself. And you know what I found out? Being alone
sucks is totally awesome.
At first, I didn't know what to do with my time. Pulling the plug on the Internet is one thing; pulling the plug on dating altogether is a completely different beast. I've spent many evenings reading on my Kindle, getting addicted to Snapped (dirty, dirty fun), and trying not to burn down my kitchen (seriously, on a side note, keep a box of baking soda right next to your stove because your brain tends to turn off when toddler sized flames are leaping off your skillet).
There's only so many nights you can spend
sulking chilling at home before you go completely BSC*. Building up the courage to dine at a restaurant by yourself is the best way to enter the Shaft Theme phase. Wear sunglasses while you eat to get the full effect.
Being up off the couch and out of the house isn't enough though. You really have to own it. I'm a firm believer of the Fake It 'Til You Make It philosophy. I have met many women who have attempted the "single and loving it" lifestyle, but have failed and jumped right back on the dating bandwagon. While they may have been single, they truly weren't loving it, regardless of what they say to the average Joe. Talking to close friends reveals the truth: they're spending all their alone time obsessing over couples! Couples on the beach, couples holding hands in the mall, couples sharing every little facet of their life on Facebook ("Johnny just made breakfast in bed for me. Someone's getting lucky this AM!").
In my case, I've had to force myself to ignore couples altogether. Instead of worrying over what my friends are doing with their husbands, I started relishing all the things I get to do that they don't. I leave the bathroom door open, I eat peanut butter out of the jar, and my hair is a cleverly crafted rat's nest most days. When I go out, I pick the movie and the restaurant. Every time. It's freaking fantastic.
I'm sure there will come a time when I miss being in a relationship, or miss just enjoying the company of a handsome man. But for right now, I'm loving this newfound freedom. It's teaching me what I want out of life, and who knows me best better than me? Well, and Dr. Phil, of course.

Cutie Pie - Jason Segel
There are so many reasons to love Jason Segel. Not only is he incredibly charming and witty, but he also loves puppets. And, I recall a memorable scene-stealing moment when he wasn't afraid to drop trough and shake his business for laughs. Any guy who's that comfortable with himself is okay in my book. I've been watching How I Met Your Mother forever, and his character Marshall just becomes more endearing with every episode. I can't wait to see him this Thursday in The Muppets. Move over, Kermit, there's a new cutie in town.

Cutie Pie - Jesse Eisenberg
So little time, so many cutie pies. This week, I'm digging Jesse Eisenberg. After a highly successful role as Facebook King Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network, Jesse has been seeing steady work, including playing the voice of Blu on Rio. Check him out in 30 Minutes or Less, in theaters now. I ♥ cute, nerdy guys who have great comedic timing.

I love this product! Im naturally blond and it makes my hair lighter in a few uses. It dries out my hair noticeably, but its nothing that a good conditioner cant fix... The characteristic I like the most in this spray is the natural beach effect it gives. Perfect!

I absolutely adore this product, works like a charm. Great for blending your roots, but would recommend wearing gloves. I just used this product on my hair, when I was finished. I saw my fingers were bleached! Very inconvenient, kinda cool too look at but still. Leaves hair feeling dull, but nothing conditioner can't fix!

I am giving this a low rating and had to toss it. However that does not mean I don't think it would work for other people. I have brown hair with blonde highlights and this did not lighten them and really dried out my hair. I am still trying to condition and save my hair.
However I think this will work for people who want to go blonder and they didn't dye their hair blonde.

So let me tell you a story. Like 5 years ago, I used to have great hair. Long, thick and a lot of it. But, due to stress, i lost almost all of it. I didn't notice at first, but other people did. They kept asking me what was going on with my hair and i just didn't understand what they meant. If i think about it, I am not sure that I had thick hair. Maybe it was still fine, but it was waaay more than i have now. I am a natural blonde, and we always want to go lighter. So, even after I stuggled doing loads of treatments to my hair, 2 years ago I decided to go ombre. Of course, my hair got even worse. I lost more of it and i was left with a ponytail like 2 fingers thick. I kept having my hair cut, and this last year it started to be itself again! I was so happy, it looked really healthy and no split ends wven tho i had my last appointment to the hairdresser's in April.
My point is, now that my hair was ok, that i wanted to ombre, to "go blonder" again. And i bought this product. Don't get me wrong, it does its job perfectly! And with no doubt maybe it is great for other people. But for me, WITH ONLY 2 USES, it ruined my ends. Like literally, it burned them so badly that i couldn't even look in the mirror. Of course i had to cut those ends again and now I'm back where I started.
In my opinion, this product is not worth it. I thought that it wouldn't be as bad as the dye but it's exactly the same, only you have to use it more times to get the colour you want. I don't want other people to stuggle with hair loss and then when it's normal again scrw up the way i did. I'm not going to tell you not to buy it, because I know that if anyone told me that it would have made me even more intrigued. But, please, think twice before you do. I used it 2 times, literally like 4 puffs (because i only did my ends, THANK GOD) but I, personally, am never ever ever using this product again!

Left my hair with a gummy residue thay is impossible to remove. My once healthy, thick hair is now falling out and clogging the shower drain every other day. There are tiny hairs on top that stick up that are a few inches long and broken. No deep conditioner or clarifying shampoo has helped and I am forced to cut my long hair into a bob. Do not try it. You'll love it at first, but once you stop using it is when you'll notice the damage. DON'T DO IT.

I have brown hair which highlights easily in the sun. My hair turns red/copper then blonde.
I am Asian/Hawaiian/European.
I am trying to recreate an ombre effect on my hair- so I am applying product form the roots up to about mid level after showering/towel drying hair, then blow drying the hair.
I noticed a difference in my hair with subtle highlights beginning after only 2 uses.
I have also tried using the product without heat styling and still noticed a difference, but not as quickly or as intense.
Although I have brown/brunette hair, this product has not made my hair brassy/orange, which I was very concerned about. Going to continue using and will update with photo evidence!

personally this product is great, it worked really fast for me. I never used a blow dryer or flat iron afterwards, i just went in the sun which is probably why my hair didnt go dry or anything like that i would definately recommend it.

- Ryu Kumon's backstory, due mostly to Mood Whiplash: This is a series where no one dies and we don't even see death in the past, but he saw his father accidently kill himself and destroy his house when he was six
- The final two episodes of the anime. It sums up Ranma's life, caught between his sense of honour, his curse, and Genma's jerkassery.
Ranma: It's okay. It's better this way.
- Akane's getting her Close-Call Haircut might be a little hard to see this way for some, given that it was her own temper-tantrums that played a role in it happening, but it's obvious that it was absolutely devastating. That Rapunzel Hair was the best symbol she had of her truest desire, the work of years and her only sign of hope that one day, her First Love Dr. Tofu might return her feelings. In the blink of an eye it's all reduced to ashes, her heart totally crushed. Even in-universe, everyone treats this as absolutely devastating for her.
- What makes the scene powerful, beyond any reasonings or lack thereof behind it, is the absolutely perfect pacing. Akane slaps Ranma and tearfully says she won't try helping him anymore and then turns away from him (as a sad violin tune is heard in the background, if you're watching the anime), Ranma realizes that she means what she said this time and tries to make amends, Ryoga believes he's running away attacks with his bandanna and Ranma kicks it aside before trying to talk to Akane for the second time. Akane then turns while repeating that she's not gonna give him a hand ever again — and SWISH', the haircut comes. Then Akane's cut hair falls to the ground...
- Ryoga. Nuff' said.
- Another primarily in-universe tear-jerker is Mousse's dramatic speech in his return story about how he has loved Shampoo all his life and tried over and over to make her accept his feelings, eternally being rejected. The entire audience bursts into tears over this and even Ranma, who Mousse was just trying to kill (and who almost had his fiancee turned into a duck by Mousse), notes that this story makes him feel sorry for Mousse.
- At the conclusion of the Shinnosuke arc, Ranma takes the forgetful boy aside to thank him for his help, and for saving Akane's life when she was a little girl. Shinnosuke, of the sieve-like memory, claims to not know what he's talking about and that he's never met any "Akane". But then she immediately comes up to say goodbye, and Shinnosuke's inner thoughts lament that he can't be with her even though he loves her, while Akane's say that she's sorry she can't reciprocate. Meanwhile, Ranma, who is usually every bit as jealous over Akane as she is over him, and who fought Shinnosuke when he thought the latter was stealing her away, recognizes what's going on and silently turns away to let the two of them have their final farewell.
- The moment when Ranma sees Akane die near the end of the manga. Ranma freezes right before shutting down, as if he can't comprehend what just happened. And when his life is threatened afterwards, it doesn't seem to matter. He's completely uncaring about whether he'll live or die. Even when Ranma's out of danger, he, unable to cope, does nothing but sit there and stare at her old clothing. It isn't until they take that away, that he reacts violently and breaks down. Even if you hate Akane Tendo's guts, Ranma's reaction to it all is just heartbreaking.
- Somewhat later, he sits with her in his arms and tells her what a stupid girl she is for interfering like that. Then he pauses and punches himself in the face, because that's what she'd have done at that point in the conversation. It's... well, tearjerking.

Homemade Lube Recipes
Well, I don't have any, but I intend to try a semi-famous version going around the web. It consists of about a tblspn of mineral oil, a tblspn of castor oil, a tblspn of ivory soap shavings, a tblspoon of anyhydrous lanolin, and about six ounces of beeswax. If too soft add sugar cube size piece of parrafin. This has been tested by a group of guys (shooterstalk.com) with apparently good success. These guys tried to replical Veral's LBT blue performance since no longer available.
Supposedly, the castor oil is lube, the lanolin makes it sticky, the stearate in the soap holds it together, prevents layering, and the wax is the carrier.
I intend to try it on full snort loads of 296 with the Lee 310 in my SRH. On the outer crimp I hope to work up to 21-22 grains of 296. I also intend to try it with 22 grains and the 280 WFN.
Been there, tried that! It is an OK lube, but lacks much in the way of leading control, pressure control and cohesiveness in cold weather. That lube recipe you listed here was given to me by a chemical engineer in Waco, TX about four years ago to try.
I've really been through the mill with this lube issue, and have wrung out nearly thirty lubes, commercial and in-house formulations. You gents here hang on, and in a little while I'll do a lengthy tech-note on the subject for you, complete with multitudes of lube formulas and the detailed results of each. Many are excellent lubes, but just not suited to commercial use due to their texture or cold weather vibration toleration.
I'll include ballistic results on those that made it that far in my testing, as well as an evaluation of commercial lubes we tested.
Blessings to you my friend!
Look forward to it!
Matt, if you want to play around with lube recipes -- and that can be a lot of fun, though it does not necessarily lead to harmony in the kitchen -- the best ŭ you can spend is to go to www.hanned.com and get a copy of "cast bullet lubricants" by Ralph Schneider. *I think you can just give 'em your credit card number and download it.
I can't recommed this strongly enough if you want to make up your own lube.
While you're at Hanned, you could save yourself some trouble and buy a can of Paco Kelly's Apache Blue lube, which is a great though not a perfect lubricant -- a little too sticky, but no more so than Alox -- I have been using it in recent months with good results, even at high velocities.
Apache Blue's formula is proprietary, but Schneider makes some intelligent guesses as to what's in it.
Hi everybody, I'm a new boy here :p
Welcome cookmaster12. You may want to post a thread here in General to get more replies. I have an idea this thread will be moved to the cast bullet topic soon. It is kind of specific to be general.
Matt, I'm interested in your results. I have been using Felix lube for quite awhile and find it more than acceptable. I am working my way through several tubs of a big batch that Felix and I made a few years ago that included jajoba oil and microparrafin. We made about twenty gallons (in a single batch) and it was shipped all over the country - not a business, and not for profit - just something that Felix wanted to do. I use it in almost everything from .22 to .45, long guns and handguns. I've gone for K's of rounds in my 03s without cleaning. If there's a downside, I haven't found it yet. sundog
edit - hokey smokes, I just saw that your post is over 5 years old! Certainly by now you have some results????
Did you ever complete your work on this tech-note and post it on your website? If you did, could you give us a link to it, please? I cannot find it on the Tech Notes page.
Thanks for a great product, and a super forum,
The Old Guy
i still have a couple of pounds of blue (blue crayons added) Felix lube and it works just fine.
I do tend to take my sized and lubed bullets and roll them in Lee liquid alox for a nice light "glazing" afterwards, also so that the lead doesn't oxidize while waiting to be loaded and shot from a barrel.
I have tried some of the moly lube that a guy sells on ebay for $1.50 a stick... actually works quite well!!!
About as perfect for me as felix, but, I have not pushed it all that fast yet. (under 1400fps so far)
I shot up quite a bit of Felix lube back in 2001 or so. I had leading issue with it using that Lee 310 FP in a 44 (it was a slip fit in the cylinder) I also had leading back near the forcing cone in a 45-colt. I think it worked about as good as alox and was not as messy as I recall. This was about the time Marshall ran out of LBT Blue and spent several weeks looking for a replacement. He came out with his own lubricant and declared it as good as LBT. So I ordered a bunch. It was a hard lube needs heat. I mounted my star luber on a aluminum plate and used an iron for a heater. I had a hard time getting it to flow right, ribbons of lube squirted out whenever I got it hot enough to flow. When veral Smith of LBT got out and running I ordered a big box of Blue from him. Its softer and easier for home use than what a commercial caster would want. I still get leading but not that wont bush out fairly easily and it doesn't smear into the lands like homemade. I decieded that its easier just to buy up some blue and buy a bunch LBT is on again off again--might not get another chance.
Gatofeo over on Graybeards gave me the recipie for this one, I primarily use it for black powder, but it works good for low velocity smokless too. May work at higher speeds, but I don't shoot much above 1200fps.
I add about one tube of bore butter to 5 pounds, and melt in an aluminum pitcher in a larger brass tube for the double boiler effect.
You can play with the bee's wax and parifine content to make it a bit stiffer. Find it is slick enough that I get lube starts on my 34" barreled 45-70.
old-time recipe for black powder bullet lubricant
This was taken from a 1943 American Rifleman magazine, and the recipe was old then.
It was used by factories for lubricating heeled bullets, such as the .22 rimfires and the .32, .38 and .41 Long Colt.
I use it to lubricate felt wads for my cap and ball revolvers, patches for my .50-caliber muzzleloader and lead bullets for my .44-40 and .45-70 with smokeless or black powder.
The recipe is:
1 part paraffin (I use the canning paraffin sold in grocery stores)
1 part mutton tallow (sold by Dixie Gun Works)
1/2 part beeswax.
All measurements are by weight, NOT volume.
I use a kitchen scale to measure 200/200/100 grams of the ingredients, which nearly fills a quart Mason jar.
Melt the ingredients together in the jar, by placing the jar into three or four inches of boiling water for a double-boiler effect.
When all ingredients are thoroughly melted, stir together with a clean stick or disposable chopstick. Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature. Hastening the cooling by placing in the refrigerator may cause the ingredients to separate.
I store the jar, tightly capped, in a cool, ry place. It's soft enough to use a sturdy spoon to take out what you need.
It's good stuff.
for most of my smokless plinking loads I use liquid alox.
I don't remember where I got this recipe from but have been using it since 1978 for all my high velocity 45/70 and 458 loads with zero leading: one stick of Lyman Alox, one ounce of beeswax and one ounce of parafin. My muzzle loading lube is rendered beef tallow, olive oil ( 1 tbsp. each) and one ounce of beeswax.... One lesson I learned long ago is that some homemade lube concoctions wind up being almost the same thing as soldering paste, and lead the barrel on the very first shot. THink about that one.
I too see nothing wrong with felix lube. the only problem ive had with it is the same problem i have with 5050 lubes like javalina. I store a ton of bullets allready lubed and it tends to run off the bullets when the temps get warm. Ive fooled with variations of it and now use a modified version that uses felix magma blue to harden it as i cant see just adding paraphin. If im going to add a hardener i like the idea that its at least somewhat of a lube and i replace about 1/4 of the beeswax with alox. Ive also experimented with adding jojoba oil, cordoba wax and a few other things. Bottom line i just plain felix will work fine for 90 percent of all the cast bulet lubing chores out there as is. If your gun is leading badly with any soft commercial lube it tells me that your gun needs work alot more then your lube needs work. No lube will totally cover up a poor barrel or mismatched gun specs. Rule of thumb is that if a lube is so hard that it needs a heater to run its not all going to come off the bullet in the barrel either and do the job it was intended to do. It will also still be in the lube grove in varying ammounts and effect accuracy. It may not show up at 25 yards but when you get out to 200 it sure will. To many people dream up a lube or are told to try a lube and it works in the one or two guns they have and so then they claim its the best thing on earth. Ive shot my lube in over a 100 guns and ive shot felix in at least that many and it works. Felix lube has been used by some of the most knowlegable cast bullet shooters in the country and about 99 percent of them think its one of the best lubes going and the other one percent just think they know more then everyone else. Ive tried some of there recipes and they run from dismal to just about as good as felix but not a pinch better. Ive used a bunch of lubes and will also add this. Id like to know verals recipe as his soft blue works just as well as the best of the home brewed lubes. If it werent so expensive id use it exclusively.
I got a kick out of "harmony in the kitchen comment". I pan lube my BP bullets. My home made lube (which I no longer have the recipe for...but I remember non-silicone mink oil and bee wax being major components) used to get the wife complaining about the smell. IMO SPG worked just as good and never did get the same response from my wife.
So....for harmony I recomend SPG for BP. It's OK for cowboy loads as well.
I use the old NRA bullet rec. and works good for me and do not have any problems yet.how many of you use it and also can make it as hard as you like or soft. that is what I like also about it .

EASY LUBE- 50% beeswax and 50% Sta-Lube Extreme Pressure Moly-graph Multi-Purpose Lithum Grease ( auto stores sell it and Harbor Freight sells it )
50% beeswax ( 5 cups)
30% Red-N-Tacky #2 , Lucas Multi Purpose grease ( 3 cups ) auto store and Harbor Freight
10% Johnson's Paste Wax ( 1 cup )
5% Dextron II or III automatic transmission fluid ( 1/2 cup )
5% STP Oil Treatment ( 1/2 cup )
The directions for mixing both :
Heat gently and mix everything up untill you have all blended well. Don't use too high a heat it can be burned. If some impurities/ ingredients do not all liquify ( some beeswax has a little trash in it) filter the hot liquid lube through an old T-shirt or similar type material.
If you do this in the kitchen, even with a hood and exaust fan, you will only do it once!
Mix this outside, it smells and is hard to clean from the floor.
I use the old NRA lube and I have no problem with it , also like stated you can make as hard as you like .That is all i use now .I did use the lyman old lube and when I was to run out i made up the NRA lube and stuck with it .
gwpercle's easy lube is the one I use for everything smokeless now. It produces a smooth flow from solid to liquid and is a good lubricant in all intermediary stages. It's plasticity creates a decent seal from the get go. And, because the melting temperatures of the Bees Wax is around 144 degrees F and the grease is far higher, there is little chance of separation even in high heat situations. Other products, such as Vaseline and most tallows are liquid at about body temperature and tend to foul powder in hot weather. As a bonus, the moly and graphite will ensure some lubrication even when mostly dry and it's supposed to fill in a bit in micro pores of the barrel steel.

text: Sustainable Benefits of Underfloor Service Distribution Modular access floors provide flexible, adaptable accommodations for HVAC and wire and cable services Contributor * required fields From* To* Message cancel By Bill ReynoldsTake a look at the construction business in any U.S. city and you'll see a common theme emerging: sustainable building. It is much more than a trend. It's an approach toward building and renovation that seeks to proactively address energy efficiency and material resource use with design and construction innovations. In fact, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) cites that green building construction is expected to exceed $12 billion this year. If you are talking green, part of the conversation must always be about salvaging old buildings, as well as constructing new, more eco-friendly ones. Yet, one of the biggest challenges in renovating older buildings is adding services within the confines of the existing structure. The slab-to-slab heights are often limiting and in many cases can preclude using the building for new business environments, HVAC, and telecommunication services. Some of the biggest challenges arise when architects and designers attempt to retrofit HVAC services, as many older buildings do not have sufficient floor-to-ceiling clearances to accommodate traditional overhead HVAC ductwork. If an overhead HVAC system already exists but is at the end of its life-cycle, its location and footprint may complicate the introduction of a new system. When we think about basic services such as HVAC and wiring and cable, we instinctively look up to find ductwork or over to find electrical outlets and computer cables at fixed locations on the walls. But what about looking down to raised access floors to satisfy all of these needs? To recycle existing buildings, as well as maximize floor-to-ceiling heights in both old and new structure designs, buildings professionals are using access floors for their sustainable advantages and design options for both types of building projects. What is an Access Floor?An access floor is a raised system comprising an understructure and welded steel floor panels filled with lightweight cement. The understructure provides positive positioning and lateral retention, ensuring that the floor is soundly supported on all contact points. The 24-inch-square floor panels use typical finished floor heights from 2½ inches up to 36 inches on understructure that can also offer a height adjustment leveling device to ensure the floor is level even when the slab is not. The resulting underfloor pathway created by the raised floor panels provides housing for any type of service distribution system, modular wiring, passive or active zone cabling, and HVAC service. To achieve this, the modular panels that make up the access floor can be equipped with PVD (power-voice-data) termination boxes to provide convenient, flexible access to all of these services. Plus, the PVD boxes can be relocated anywhere the tenant desires as spatial layout or telecommunications needs change. Modular and relocatable VAV (variable air volume) air diffuser terminals or passive air diffusers provide increased occupant comfort and individual control of air volume.Floor strengths can vary to accommodate a variety of loading environments within a building, from workstation environments and data and print room spaces to heavily trafficked service corridors and elevator lobbies. Like traditional flooring, access floors also offer a variety of finishes - from luxury vinyls to woods, cork, rubber, and terrazzo. Traditional high-pressure laminates, static control vinyls, freelay carpet, and hard tile finishes are also available to create a unique and coordinated look. Essentially, access floors look, feel, and function similar to traditional floors, but what lies beneath offers far more sustainable advantages.Underfloor Air ServiceHot air rises, yet conventional HVAC systems are designed to distribute cool air from the ceiling. By supplying cool air at very low pressure from an access floor using natural convection and warmer supply air temperatures, HVAC energy costs can be reduced by 20 percent or more. How can this be accomplished?Using the space under the access floor for air distribution requires minimal ducting because the entire space is used as the service plenum to provide fresh air, which it delivers from below, directly to the 6-foot occupied zone. As the fresh air enters the zone, it replaces existing contaminated air rather than diluting it. Pollutants and stale air in the zone are carried to the ceiling by natural convection and removed through return outlets. Because the air pathway is situated under the access floor, users can easily adjust air direction and volume for their individual comfort through modular floor-mounted diffusers. Underfloor air distribution (UFAD) systems save money at initial installation and throughout operation compared to overhead systems by speeding installation time, eliminating costly, rigid overhead ductwork, and reducing fan energy use by an average of 40 percent. The static pressure required for an underfloor air distribution system is .05- to .10-inch wg, which represents approximately one-third of the pressure required for an overhead system. In turn, this reduces overall energy consumption by at least 20 percent. Not only is underfloor air distribution a cost-effective alternative to traditional overhead systems, but it has also been proven to provide equal or better air distribution. Experiments conducted by the Center for the Built Environment at the University of California, Berkeley, found pressurized plenums with as little as 3 inches of space can maintain uniform distribution of airflow to diffusers in a 3,200-square-foot area. (Typical heights for underfloor air distribution are 10 to 18 inches.) Add to this the natural appeal of individual occupant airflow control and the overall personal comfort advantages are pretty clear. Underfloor air distribution (UFAD) does not churn pollutants in the air. It pulls them out of the occupied zone and towards the return in the ceiling.ALL PHOTOS, RENDERINGS TATE ACCESS FLOORS INCConventional HVAC construction requires a large ceiling void for fixed service pathways. This often requires creating a ceiling void to accommodate the system. Using underfloor service distribution eliminates the need for this additional overhead space, which can reduce initial building material costs. New buildings can also achieve a 5 to 10 percent reduction in slab-to-slab heights, resulting in materials savings, construction cost reductions, and faster construction rates. The access floor also supplies a much greater degree of flexibility and adaptability to the changing needs of a building's inhabitants, as diffusers and standard panels can be reconfigured to provide air to any location the owner or the occupant desires.Reducing slab-to-slab height saves materials, time, and costs during initial construction.Diffusers used in access floors may include VAV terminals with built-in volume control dampers that automatically adjust to accommodate the thermostat setting and occupant comfort levels. Passive diffusers feature manually adjusted dampers, allowing occupants to adjust volume and direction. Because everything is modular, in-house facility personnel can also easily change out diffuser locations, as all panels are interchangeable with one another.Wire and Cable ServicesMirroring the flexibility of underfloor air distribution, underfloor wire and cable distribution comprising modular plug-and-play zone wiring and cabling provides the flexibility to respond to equipment layout and technology changes quickly and easily and with almost no wasted materials. Power, data, audio, and video all are contained in floor-mounted modules, which can be positioned within the access floor wherever those services are needed.Comparatively, traditional wiring and cabling outlets fixed in walls and columns are fundamentally inflexible and make reconfiguration expensive, disruptive, and wasteful. With these hard-wired systems, existing wires are typically abandoned and new wires are run to service a new configuration. This is expensive and wasteful. Moving people and furniture or making additions and changes to technology become costly in this type of environment. Add to this the burden of running wiring and cabling into ceiling pathways and reconfiguration becomes severely limited. Ceiling pathways also increase vertical run lengths, labor, and suspension material costs and make subsequent changes disruptive and expensive. Fixed, poke-through options for wire and cable delivery can also cause disruption and security issues with occupants both above and below.Access floors, on the other hand, eliminate the need to embed wiring and cabling within concealed, rigid structures such as walls, columns, and ceiling pathways. Instead, they comprise modular plug-and-play wires and cables, which can be reused continually no matter how often reconfiguration occurs. This allows occupants the freedom to access and/or move wiring and cabling services quickly and easily by simply removing the panel that contains the PVD termination boxes. An access floor also provides admittance to the service pathway at any location on the floor plate. Without the need for nonstructural columns to hide wiring, underfloor wire and cable service also provides the architect more design choices. The natural result of these design freedoms is greater flexibility and a more pleasant indoor environment.A Better Work EnvironmentThe World Health Organization states that most of a person's daily exposure to many air pollutants comes through inhalation of indoor air. This, coupled with the large amount of time people spend indoors, has contributed to the significance of indoor air and overall environmental quality. Factors such as low-emitting materials, controllability of HVAC systems and thermal comfort, lighting quality, acoustics, and access to views are just some of the issues that can enhance our indoor environments. Ultimately, accommodating occupant preferences is a key characteristic of happy, healthy work environments and one that access floors and underfloor service distribution effectively address.For example, indoor air quality is optimized through improved ventilation and less mixing with airborne pollutants. In addition, the floor-mounted services reduce overhead ceiling space requirements, increasing daylighting opportunities and improving acoustics with low-pressure, underfloor HVAC distribution. Finally, personal control of air direction, volume, and location of air diffusers improves the thermal comfort and reduces hot/cold complaints from occupants. As a result, work environments that meet the needs of employees pay off with increased productivity and decreased absenteeism. Raised access floors with underfloor service distribution help create a more enjoyable and productive indoor environment.LEED CertificationEvery building is comprised of many manufactured and processed materials, each of which make up a building's embodied energy. The embodied energy of a building increases over its lifetime because it represents the energy consumed by all of the processes associated with its construction and maintenance. The best way to reduce embodied energy is to design flexible, adaptable, sustainable buildings.As the influence of the USGBC grows, the LEED program is transforming the marketplace by increasing recognition and value of high-performance buildings. In the United States, buildings consume approximately 37 percent of the energy and 68 percent of the electricity produced annually, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. These statistics make the Energy & Atmosphere category an essential part of LEED certification. Evaluating a building's energy load and using methods such as access floors to afford daylighting and efficient HVAC systems in the design can earn points toward LEED certification.Many LEED-certified buildings use underfloor service distribution technologies, not only for the sustainable benefits already described but also because the access floor components themselves are manufactured using recycled materials. Most use more than 30 percent recycled materials that, when combined with regional manufacturing in many parts of the United States, contribute points toward LEED.Choosing the proper building materials that make up the access floor is just as important as the sustainable opportunities the access floor provides due to the environmental impact associated with installation, processing, and transportation of the materials. Reusing existing building materials is one of many effective ways to reduce environmental impact. It's important to remember that taking advantage of recycled material content and locally manufactured materials can also contribute to sustainability.First-Build and Operating Cost SavingsA common misconception about sustainable building and renovating is that the cost outweighs the environmental benefit. Some underfloor service distribution projects have reported reductions of up to 10 percent in first-build construction costs. Here are some examples of how access floors achieve these savings:Voice and Data Cabling - Reduce cable run lengths, eliminate cable trays, and lower labor costs for installationPower Wiring - Plug-and-play technology significantly reduces installation costsFurniture - Eliminates dependency on costly systems furnitureAir Distribution - Significantly reduces trunk, branch, and discharge ductworkCeiling - Reduces or potentially eliminates suspended ceiling requirementsSlab-to-Slab Height - Can be reduced in new construction projects, speeding up build timesTax Benefits - Underfloor components qualify for accelerated depreciation as personal, tangible propertyTime-to-Occupancy - Access floors and underfloor services install quickly, allowing for occupation soonerAfter any initial capital investment in access floors, their energy-efficient design and long-term flexibility provide operational benefits well beyond the installation. For example, lower fan power, extended use of the economizer, and thermal stratification save an average of 20 percent in energy costs. Moreover, regarding workstation churn, underfloor service distribution can reduce turnover costs and employee relocation by up to 50 percent by reusing existing floor-mounted components and modular wire and cable in new configurations. Finally, underfloor components may be considered personal, tangible property, and therefore qualify for accelerated depreciation tax benefits over a period of 6 years versus the traditional 40-year period.A Sustainable SolutionDesigning and constructing new buildings or renovating existing ones carries with it significant responsibilities to both the occupants of the building and to the surrounding environment it inhabits. From an environmental perspective, using access floors with underfloor service distribution of air, wire, and cable service reduces the amount of building materials required, including ductwork, cable trays, ceiling tiles, horizontal and vertical feeds, powered furniture, and façade materials. The key to cost-effective green design is to think holistically early in the design process. A well-designed building using access floors and underfloor service distribution enhances the structure's sustainability by improving indoor environmental and air quality, providing modular flexibility for reuse and relocation of existing resources, and reducing materials resources in construction, operation, and maintenance over the life of the structure.Bill Reynolds (email@example.com) is director of marketing at Tate Access Floors Inc.References:Under Floor Air Technology, Center for the Built Environment, June 7, 2007Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, U.S. Department of Energy, June 7, 2007Green Building by the Numbers, U.S. Green Building Council, June 7, 2007ARCHI-TECH welcomes comments on the distance education program, including its content, format, and process for AIA/CES learners.
