It happened about 15 years ago while my parents were hosting a company office party. Everyone was out on the deck. The grill was going and my father was standing over it. Suddenly the 12-foot–square second-story deck pulled away from the house and collapsed with 14 people on it.
The first thing we thought was, was anyone under the deck? Fortunately not. However, several people sustained minor injuries. And soon enough there was all the unwanted attention that comes with ambulances, news crews, and news stories.
That deck had been added after the house was built. The company that constructed it is still in business. The methods they used at the time were proper; back then, joist hangers were not required and the bolts anchoring the deck to the house were spaced 24 inches apart.
Lessons Learned Today I'm the general manager of a company that sells siding, windows, and decks. Last year decks made up 40% of the $10 million in volume we did.
To avoid any possibility of having one of our decks fail, we build every deck one step above code. We also make that a key part of our sales pitch.
Here's how we do it: When a rep sells a deck, he hands it off to someone on staff who generates a CAD drawing. The CAD drawing is then passed to the manager who designs the deck according to our specifications. Those specs will always exceed the local code. If code, for example, requires a 2x6 joist, we automatically make it a 2x8. If pickets are to be spaced 4 inches apart, we space them at 3½ inches. We use stainless steel screws, which cost $40 more per box but won't corrode.
We submit that blueprint, with specifications, to the county. When we go out and build these decks, we work hand in hand with the county. I want us to do what they want us to do.
Moreover, we don't allow any of our installers to supply materials for the deck. We supply it all, although we could save about 15% on materials if we took shortcuts. What that means is that, in a multi-bid situation, our price is usually somewhere in the middle.
Selling Backward In explaining our pricing to prospects, our sales reps are instructed to work backward from the proposed price so homeowners understand what sets us apart. For example, our installers are covered by workers' comp and general liability insurance, and we use high-quality materials. We break out everything that goes into our cost — administration, advertising, insurance — and explain how these are part of the price. I always relate the breakdown back to the homeowner's own job. I want customers to know what they're paying for and that we will not take shortcuts when it comes to safety. I also want to know whether they think our price is justified.
If a competing bid is lower — say ours is $8,900 and the competitor's is $8,500 — we raise certain issues with the prospect. If there is a problem with the deck, will the competing company take care of it? Don't just tell homeowners that your competition can't get it done for $8,500. Show them what the actual costs are and ask, "Are you sure they can get it done for that price?"
Safety is important. Many homeowners are not aware that the deck that came with their house could be just one person away from falling. Not long ago I was called to a home where one of our crews was replacing the siding. The house had a two-year-old deck on it, and the deck was attached to the house by two bolts and two nails. I called the jackleg contractor who built it and threatened to report him to the county. He took it down and rebuilt it.
By the way, the deck on my home has three times as many bolts as code requires. —Greg Sliger is general manager of Prince William Home Improvement in Woodbridge, Va.

At each year's Unitarian Universalist Association annual General Assembly (GA), multiple official events happen concurrently from 7:00 a.m. to almost midnight each day.

Pragmatic Buddhism, Westernized Dharma, 21st-century Sangha
When I was about fifteen years old, I accidentally ran into some of the classic early meditation experiences described in the ancient texts and my reluctant spiritual quest began. I did not realize what had happened, nor did I realize that I had crossed something like a point of no return, something I would later call "The Arising and Passing Away." I knew that I had had a very strange dream with bright lights, that my entire body and world had seemed to explode like fireworks, and that aft … [Read more...]

The first thing you should know about death is that it really sucks. Really.
I ruined my life, and as it turns out, I made my death kind of miserable too. Now, I really don't know where I sit in the Grand Scheme of Things, but it didn't take me long to decide that it wasn't going to be "there".
Wherever that was.
It wasn't hard, you know. I know I died before my time and pretty much tick all of the "ghost" criteria, but it turns out anybody can go back. Anyway, I don't think of myself as a ghost. Just a person with a difference. A big difference.
When I went back, I followed my feet back to my old home. I can't glide, or fly. I have to walk, just like everyone else. I can walk through doors, though; that's pretty cool. I automatically reached for the handle of my front door, but my hand sunk straight through. I got the idea pretty quickly, but old habits die hard.
The front door led straight into the lounge. I stood for a minute, watching my mum and Steve, my step dad. He was standing at the window, as if looking for something. Mum was sobbing into a handkerchief, only half catching her tears. The rest fell on to the sofa, staining the light blue material. I was surprised, I must say, because I always got the impression that she hated me. I guess not.
I sat down next to her on the sofa, but she didn't look round. I coughed, trying to get her attention. I talked to her, but she just went on sobbing into her hankie.
Wondering at the depth of her grief, I sat silent for a minute, watching her. I wonder if she knew I wouldn't cry for her. I'm not cold, or anything, it's just that we never quite saw eye to eye. And let's just say it has nothing to do with my being 5"11.
Then something hit me. In the moment it took for me to identify the feeling as panic, it was already coursing through my cold veins, lacing its way into my consciousness. I tried to shake my mum's shoulders, but I couldn't seem to get a grip. I yelled in her ear, but she didn't show any sign that she had heard me.
I was invisible.
Then, to add insult to injury, Steve came over and sat on me. Well, he didn't exactly sit on me; it was more like he sat through me. I didn't feel it at all, but what bothered me more was that he didn't, either.
I got up, sharpish, and kicked him in the shin for good measure, mustering all the force I could. I wasn't expecting him to react, but he sort of winced, and rubbed his leg absent-mindedly. I wondered if it was me, or sheer coincidence.
Then I realised that they were both dressed in their funeral clothes. I hoped I hadn't missed my own funeral- that would be something to see. I mean, sure, most people are present at their funeral, but I bet not many can say that they know what went on, can they?
I glanced at the clock above the fire; three o'clock. Looked like I would get to be at my own funeral after all.
I hate to say it, but my funeral was a real disappointment. It was really boring; all sobbing relatives and violin music from a CD player. Then Alex got up to speak.
Alex is my best friend. I half expected him not to turn up. It was true that he was getting some funny looks from my family, but I didn't care. I was just really glad he was there. He was the only one who knew what happened when I died- he was there.
It wasn't glamorous, or heartbreaking, or a feat of bravery. It wasn't even particularly interesting. Stupid, cocky teenagers-thinking we would try something different; rebel. We had smoked weed before. Christ, we did it all the time. Alex could afford it, and that was all we cared about.
But pills are a little different. And I didn't pay attention in Social Education classes.
Unfortunately for me, my body couldn't handle it, and I died. I didn't know much about what happened between swallowing the pill and waking up dead; there's just a handful of dazed memories of dancing, and sweat, drinking even though I had no idea what it was, and more sweat- it was so warm. Then nothing.
It was refreshing, Alex telling it like it was, his usual self, but without some of the sparkle. Face it, I wasn't a nice guy, my death wasn't tragic, and my parents knew fine well what I was doing when they got that phone call saying that "Your son was not present in his fifth period class..."
I watched him looking at the paper in front of him but not reading the words- he knew them by heart. Occasionally he shoved his fringe behind his ear, but it kept escaping, like it used to do when he laughed. But today he wasn't laughing.
His voice didn't waver at all- I was proud of him for that, I looked at Mum, her eyes swimming, and at Steve, whose face was completely void of emotion. I looked at Alex. I knew who I would rather go with, and in the instant of my realisation I was next to him.
I don't know how I did it- one minute I was sitting on the cold bench next to my mum, the next I was right there beside Alex.
He finished his speech. I was flattered that he even bothered- he hated all that "sentimental shit", as he liked to call it. But he put effort into something for me. Maybe he knew I was listening.
He walked back to his seat, hiding behind his silky curtain of ebony hair and accompanied by murmured complaints from Aunt Gladys. I watched him walk away, felt a pulling in my chest, turning into a dull ache, then into agonising pain. It felt like my insides were being stretched on a rack.
By the time he got to his seat, I was doubled over in pain. You can still feel pain when you're dead, by the way. The urge to follow him was irresistible. I rushed towards him, the pain becoming duller with every step. When I stood behind him it was a mere memory of the pain that resided in my chest.
It looked like I would have to stay uncomfortably close to Alex for the time being- not that it would bother him, of course. I stayed right next to him after that, shadowing him when he got up to leave with his parents.
I never liked his parents- Thomas and Isobel Hildegarde-Bates. Yeah, this is the twenty-first century, and yes, to sum it up they did live in a manor outside our town, speak in posh accents and say "one" instead of "you".
Alex, on the other hand, spoke like me (not posh, for the record), and went by the surname Bates only. He blew all of his money on music, clothes and drugs, in that order, and spent way too much time with girls. He's the smartest guy I've ever met, but had no common sense; he never opened a book to study and annoyed his expensive tutors so much he was lucky to get a full lesson from them before they quit.
I followed them to their flashy Aston Martin- they couldn't resist showing off, whatever the occasion. I half fell through the side of the car, landing on the seat. Alex climbed in about as graciously as I had, but more conventionally; he used the door.
His parents got in, and the engine rumbled as Thomas turned the key in the ignition. Nobody spoke for a few moments, as if unsure who should be the one to break the silence. Eventually Isobel spoke, twisting round in her seat to speak to Alex.
"That's the last time you're seeing any of those people, Al. I'm sorry." Alex hated being called Al.
"What people?" asked Alex, playing dumb.
"You know exactly who I mean, Alexander. Those people you used to go round with."
"Do go round with," he corrected her. Isobel took a deep breath.
"Don't be like this. We're sending you to Graham's after the Easter holiday," she said, all softness gone from her nasally voice. Graham Academy. For boys. You can imagine how Alex took that...
"What? No, you're not!" Alex fumed. Even in what I like to imagine was considerable grief, the idea of being stuck in a school full of toffs with the only girls in a 10-mile radius being 50-year-old teachers still disgusted him. Isobel faced the front again.
"Don't speak to your mother like that!" warned Thomas. Alex swore. "What was that?" said his father. Alex shook his head, face stony.
"Alexander, we've been over this," said Thomas. Alex said nothing."I don't want any more arguments about this school. We let you go to a state school, but you did all of the things that we didn't want you to do. No more chances- this'll be a fresh start for you."
Alex was still silent.
The car made its way up the gravel drive towards his house. Nobody spoke again. The car stopped, and Alex got out and trudged towards the door, head down. Thomas unlocked it, and Alex shoved past, running up the stairs.
"Be down in a few minutes!" Isobel called after him. Alex didn't respond as he ran to his room. I followed him closely, passing effortlessly through the bedroom door he had just slammed.
He sat down on the edge of his bed, his elbows on his knees and his hands tangled through his hair. He was silent for a moment. Then he let out this weird, strangled yell. It's the sort of thing you hear when somebody just finds out that a loved one has died- I guess he had. Maybe it had just hit him that I wasn't around anymore.
Or maybe he was just sad that he had to leave his other friends. I like to think that it was the former.
He flopped down on his bed, sobbing silently; tears cascading down his cheeks. He pulled his tie off with one hand, throwing it down. I sat on a beanbag beside his bed, watching him. He cried for a long time. It was almost unbearable to watch, to use an old cliché. Alex didn't cry. He was strong. It was strange to see him like that.
I crawled over to him, and tried to rest a comforting hand on his shoulder. He began to recover a little, but he still lay there. His breathing slowed, and eventually he fell asleep. I sat down again on the beanbag. A while later Isobel came upstairs. She came in without knocking, which she should have learned by now not to do, but Alex was still out. She walked over to him and inspected him for a moment, as though checking he was still alive. It might sound weird to you, but I guess you might be starting to get the idea about the hazards of living with Alex.
Satisfied, she shook him gently. He mumbled something.
"Sweetie, just get out of these clothes and you can go to sleep," she said, gentle again.
She pulled his floppy arms from his suit jacket, but he collapsed on the bed again before she could start the whole "teeth brushed, face washed" routine. She tried to smooth his hair out of his face, but it fell back over his eyes again instantly. She stood up straight.
"Love you," she said. He didn't respond. She sighed, and walked out of his room.
As I sat in the darkness, though, I was sure I heard him murmur "Love you, too."
People are weird. And love is twisted.

Free Master's Solution Antistress: turn your stress into the source of life force
If you are chronically stressed, those feelings transform into feelings of dread, which make things look even worse. It is almost impossible to live with stress on a long-term basis, as chronic stress can be harmful both physically, and emotionally. Stress becomes chronic when it occurs over an extended period of time. This is usually the case when you experience a number of setbacks, with which you feel unable to cope.
If you are chronically stressed, those feelings transform into feelings of dread, which make things look even worse. It is almost impossible to live with stress on a long-term basis, as chronic stress can be harmful both physically, and emotionally. Stress becomes chronic when it occurs over an extended period of time. This is usually the case when you experience a number of setbacks, with which you feel unable to cope.
Stress is therefore a physical response to events that disrupt your balance and make you feel threatened. In order to deal with it effectively, you have to look at the events that are causing you stress, as well as your response of them.
When we perceive something as threatening we react defensively with fear and tension. Fear creates tension that blocks the flow of internal energy. Intense or prolonged fear leads to rigidity and paralysis and the inability to respond fluidly to life's challenges. Tension and rigidity also consume massive amounts of energy through constant effort.
Stress can be originated from the physical and emotional activities you get yourself into. Roots of stress can increase your blood pressure, depression level and insomnia risks. You don't want your health to be any worse than that. To get rid of any trouble, you have to be well informed as to what the roots of stress are:
1. Money. Financial worries may sound common to you especially when dollar strength is depreciating. Every month, you think of whether you can cover your electric, internet, phone, and appliance bills. Alternatively, perhaps you are worried your mortgage and car loans are giving you some burden. On the other hand, you might be spending excessively more than what you are earning, thus financial debts arise. In numerous surveys, financial trouble is the number one root of stress.
2. Work is also another common root of stress. Job responsibilities can get you loaded and you start feeling 24 hours isn't enough to get things done. It's pressuring to meet the expectations of our boss. When we fail them, we get stressed.
3. Family also contributes stress to many individuals. Relationship troubles like arguments, divorce, misunderstanding, and dissimilarities at your own backyard can lead to stress. If one lives in a roof where bad talks are endless and parental arguments occur often, stress is heightened. Because family means a lot to many, any problem at home causes us to worry. A family issue is a bad vibe causing you stress.
4. Personal concerns are also among the roots of causes. Everyone has personal expectations, goals, needs, and wants. What to do and what not usually preoccupies you on a daily. Many find it hard to be able to spend so much time with the kids when they're too occupied at work. Maintaining cleanliness at home, driving your kids to school, staying in good condition, and cooking for the family at night are your personal concerns that might lead to stress when not observed. When time seems lacking, many find it hard to manage. A few others are stressed out of personal concerns because they have legal issues or bad mannerisms. Some are undertaking the transition of their personal life like puberty, becoming a single mom or dad, or enrolling back for school, which can all be the roots of stress.
5. Fear of death takes the fifth spot as one of the causes of stress. Losing a loved one is the most tragic there is to experience. Attachment to our physical bodies is rampant in our culture. Death is feared, whether sudden or expected, and it can cause us to be worried, depressed, and severely stressed. Some people might hard to accept the death of a family member, co-worker, or a friend. That state can lead to stress. Many people can grieve shortly but there a few who can't get over it for years.

(oolitic ind. 47451)
well I thought talking to people was hard, but it turns out writing it thinking about it or talking about no matter what i do I cry my son was 37 years old when died in a scooter wreak. from the time i had bradley we spent every moment together. as he grow up we still were inseparable.when he started school, I could not stand being away from him, so i would walk about 12 mile every week day to the school and sit in the dugout and wait for school to be out. then run to the door to meet him. then we went to mcdonalds and to a park close by. we went on walks, and movies and long drives. my heart cant take this even when bradley got married he lived very close to me. walking distance so we saw each other every day. some days when him and his wife had problems as we all do from time to time. he would come to me to talk. I mean best friends for ever. i hate going to bed and i hate waking up. the nightmares the never ending pain is just to much to take, but i have a son brandon 35 years old. we buried bradley on may 24th on his 38th birthday. bradley left me 3 beautiful grandchildren ( girls ) ages 3, 6, and 14. i want to be with bradley but he just would not slow down, he always lived in the fast lane, I begged him but he has rode motor cycles an scooters since he was 4 years old. so he just kept saying mom I have rode since i was 3 years old nothing can happen. well 3 weeks after he got the scooter I helped him buy, and will never forgive myself for. he was wide open into a bad curve on a bridge and hit the guardrail. he died instantly, but I chock back the tears and try to believe that, but I have a scanner. brad left my apartment about 2;45 pm he said mom i am going to grandmas to wash my scooter and I will be right back. as a rule bradley always hugged me and said see you in a few. not this time another regret. so he left and i came in sit down to watch tv until he came back, however that did not happen, because about 10 minutes later i heard on the scanner bad scooter wreak on east oolitic road, my heart drop and i just knew it was my son my first born. oh my god please let him be ok, so I called my mother and he had not been there. I hung up as fast as i could and called er and ask if they had a bradley ryan and got the worst response of my life. yes who is calling please my voice cracked as I replied back this is his mother, the lady said please be careful but get here as soon as possible. a very good friend of mine rushed me to er, the longest ride every for 3 miles. everything was in slow mode. I ran up to the window and ask to see bradley. no miss ryan, they are working on him we will come get when you can, please have a set someone will be right out, and she did but just said we are working on bradley there are about 15 to 20 people working on him and we will do our best but it dont look good. so when can I see him I ask, we will let you know. forever went by back to the window may I see my son now please. no i am sorry not yet we will let you know, then all of the sudden the er doors came open, and there were a lot of doctors in the door way to block me, but it did not matter i was going in to see bradley. but i was moved away out of the door a doctor had me by my arm and said please sit down i have bad news for you bradley did not make it, im so sorry but we had his heart going again but he just could not keep it going, then she said but she said he did not feel anything, that he was dead as soon as he hit. now i am left to wonder if they let me in when his heart was beating maybe he would have known i was there with him. I will never know, and will always wonder. it has been 15 days ago that i got my last hug the night before my nightmare began and will never end. however i still have brandon who I love as much as brad and brads 3 girls and my mother to carry on for .i hope i can but i dont think it is possible. thank you so much for this site to all moms who have lost a adult child i pray for god to help us go on for them.

5.0 stars 2 totalReview William McMurry
Posted by Stan
Our family hired Bill McMurry to represent my daughter when she was involved in a serious accident. There are very few lawyers that possess the skills and experience that Bill has. That became quickly apparent after conducting some basic research when we started interviewing lawyers to handle her case. We found that there are scores of lawyers that handle accident cases, but very few have extensive courtroom and trial experience. We felt very comfortable with his competency early on. But an important factor we didn't know until he started to work was how much he truly cares about his clients. Our cause was his passion. He kept us fully informed as the case progressed and we were reassured by his determination and negotiating savvy. We are pleased with our decision to hire Bill McMurry, and wholeheartedly recommend him to others.
Posted by Joe
I will tell you from experience if you find yourself in a life altering situation regarding a legal environment you must hire William McMurrayI have been in business for 45 years I have never been so well represented as I was with William.

Patrick Kane's brace helped the Chicago Blackhawks stage a comeback win against San Jose
Patrick Kane struck twice to help the Chicago Blackhawks to a 5-3 win over Western Conference rivals San Jose.
Last Updated: 08/02/13 7:56am
A frantic first period ended with the scores tied at 3-3 but Kane put the Blackhawks ahead for the first time in the game at 11:52 of the second period then hit an empty-netter with 1:13 left to play in the third.
The win put Western Conference leaders Chicago three points clear of the Sharks, who were also beaten 2-1 at Anaheim on Monday night.
Joe Pavelski and Tommy Wingels struck early in the first period to give the Sharks the lead which prompted Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville to call a time-out for a frank exchange with his players.
It worked briefly as Brandon Saad bagged the first goal of his NHL career but Michal Handzus restored San Jose's two-goal cushion within 30 seconds.
The Blackhawks' response was immediate as Andrew Shaw scored from the slot just eight seconds later and they were level on 11:37 when Marcus Kruger bundled in.
That set the scene for Kane to beat Antti Niemi from the right circle and put Chicago ahead and as the game boiled over the Blackhawks held firm until Kane wrapped up the win late on.
The Blackhawks remain the only team in the NHL without a loss in regulation time.

Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia, a region in northeastern Spain with its own distinctive history, culture, and language. Set between mountains and the Mediterranean Sea, the city's population is 1.6 million, with a total of 4.5 million in the greater metropolitan area. Walking though the city, one can observe 2,000 years of architectural history—Roman remains, the network of narrow streets in the Old Town, the 19th century Eixample district with its original examples of Modernist architecture—contrasting with the ultramodern showpieces that continue to redesign its skyline.
Magda Bernaus is the Center Director. Her professional experience is varied and spans the touristic, cultural, and education sectors. She has worked in international education since 1999, and she has been the CIEE Study Center Director since 2012. Her academic area of expertise is medieval architecture, and she has extensive experience designing and teaching art and architectural history courses for both Spanish and North American universities in Spain. She holds a degree in tourism management (Escola de Turisme - Universitat Girona), a degree in art history (Universitat de Barcelona), and a Ph.D. in art history (Universitat de Barcelona).
Few cities in the world offer modern art, architecture, and design lovers as engaging a combination of assets as Barcelona. Like an artist's muse—"the great enchantress," as art critic R. Hughes calls it—Barcelona has provided inspiration to many, from Catalan-born architect Antoni Gaudí, to Andalusian painter Pablo Picasso or Valencian designer Javier Mariscal. Their work, like that of so many others, is inextricably linked to Barcelona.
Barcelona's welcoming and, as a consequence, cosmopolitan character doesn't end there. In the last 20 years, the city has experienced a radical change in many aspects, and some of the most renowned international artists and architects—Roy Lichtenstein, Norman Foster, Frank Gehry, and Jean Nouvel—have played a leading role in the reshaping of the city's image. They have all left an unmistakable trace in the city. I am sure this is exactly the kind of lasting imprint Barcelona will leave on you.
— Magdalena Bernaus, Center Director
Fernando Janeiro coordinates semester and summer programs. He is a native of Galicia in western Spain. After receiving his bachelor's degree in Advertising and Public Relations from Univesidade de Vigo in 2002, he moved to Barcelona and completed a second bachelor's degree in Humanities (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, 2007), and then an M.A. in Comparative Studies (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, 2009), and a Teaching Certificate for Spanish as a Second Language (International House / IL3 Universitat de Barcelona, 2014). Nando has extensive experience teaching language and humanities courses in both Spanish and English. Nando is a self-educated illustrator and designer, and he recently published his first comic book, "Rufino y Escrutinio: problemas en los márgenes".
The CIEE Study Center in Barcelona, Spain, is located in two adjoining historic buildings on Passatge Permanyer, near Passeig de Gràcia and Plaza Catalunya, Barcelona's main square. This historic passageway provides a quiet haven in the city center and houses CIEE classrooms, a computer lab, and student lounges.
Study abroad students can choose to live in either Spanish homestays (there is an option to live in a homestay along with another CIEE student in individual rooms), in a student residencia (residence hall) with other Spanish and international students in individual rooms sharing kitchen, or in a shared apartment typically in double rooms.
Students living in a homestay will have breakfast and dinner provided at home, while lunch is at the students' expense. Kitchen space is allowed to students should they wish to make lunch to bring to campus. Students in homestays will have their laundry done for them once a week. Meals and laundry are not included in the student residencia option, but students share fully equipped kitchens where they can prepare their own meals, and laundry facilities are available. All homestays, residencias and apartments are located in the city of Barcelona and within 30 minutes, by public transportation, of the CIEE Study Center. As slots in homestays, residencies and apartments may be limited; students who are not assigned the housing option of their choice are notified by the resident staff prior to arriving in Barcelona.
You'll begin your study abroad experience in Barcelona even before leaving home by participating in a CIEE online pre-departure orientation. Meeting with students online, the resident director shares information about the program and site, highlighting issues that alumni have said are important, and giving you time to ask questions. The online orientation allows you to connect with others in the group, reflect on what you want to get out of the program, and learn what others in the group would like to accomplish. CIEE's aim for the pre-departure orientation is simple—to help you understand more about the program, and to identify your objectives so that you arrive well-informed and return home having made significant progress towards your goals.
A two-day orientation session conducted at the beginning of the program introduces you to the country, culture, and the academic program, as well as provides practical information on living in Spain and Barcelona in particular. Themes such as health and safety, banking, cultural adaptation, and an introduction to Catalonia are covered. Orientation also includes structured cultural activities, guided tours, and time with your Guardian Angel, a local student guide. Ongoing support is provided by center staff on an individual and group basis throughout the program.
You are encouraged to bring a wireless-enabled laptop. You'll have wireless Internet access at your homestay, apartment or student residencias. In addition, you'll be able to use theWiFi and computer room at the CIEE Study Center.
The academic program is supplemented with excursions, guided tours, and cultural activities. These activities include city tours to the Gothic Quarter and other emblematic sites such as Gaudi's Sagrada Familia and Park Güell; a tour of Modernista architecture in Barcelona; or districts like the Olympic Village and Born.
In addition, there is one local weekend trip per session. The local trip will complement the Barcelona experience by exploring other areas of significant historic and cultural importance. Options for the local weekend trip may include: the North of Catalunya: Girona and Costa Brava,the South of Catalunya: Tarragona and Costa Dorada or Valencia.
Guardian Angels are local university students who help CIEE study abroad students settle into their life in Spain through small group activities including cooking classes and tours of the city, and participate in field trips and other events. Guardian Angels are there to help you make local friends, introduce you to the city's culture, and generally help you adapt to life in Barcelona. The Guardian Angels Program is a unique feature of the CIEE Study Center in Barcelona.
Castilian Spanish and Catalan are both official languages in Barcelona and the region. Catalan is regularly used in all aspects of life, but is not imposed on non-Catalan speakers. Taxi drivers, shopkeepers, service representatives, professors, and homestay families all speak clear Castilian whenever a Spanish speaker is present. While it is not necessary to speak Catalan to survive in Barcelona, you will find that learning a few words can be an enjoyable experience and open doors to making friends.
CIEE language classes are small, with no more than 12 students per class. The class model is specially designed for language teaching, providing a structure for a communicative methodology that allows small groups to work well together. The size of the CIEE content classes varies, but typically there are no more than 20 students. All classes meet Monday through Friday.
All courses are for CIEE study abroad students only.
As students gain proficiency in Spanish, resident staff encourage them to use their language skills in everyday settings. They are encouraged to meet with local students through CIEE language exchanges, spend time communicating with their host family, and to interact with people they meet. The more students participate, the greater their development of Spanish language proficiency and understanding of Spanish society.
Students are graded on the basis of class participation, in-class activities, homework assignments, examinations, papers, and oral presentations, similar to standards in the U.S. Grades are given on a 10-point scale.
All CIEE courses are taught by faculty from local universities. Language courses are taught by experienced professors who specialize in teaching Spanish as a second language.
Note: This course listing is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a contract between CIEE and any applicant, student, institution, or other party. The courses, as described, may be subject to change as a result of ongoing curricular revisions, assignment of lecturers and teaching staff, and program development. Courses may be canceled due to insufficient enrollment.

will this axle fit my jeep?
2 Attachment(s)
I have a 98 to sahara and I want to upgrade my rear axle with a locker. I have two main questions about this axle. First question is can I modify this axle to fit my coil spring set up. The axle is set up for the leaf springs. Second question is will I have to change my gear ratio in my front if I upgrade the rear. I currently have the stock Dana 30 in front. Thanks guys.
The front gear ratio has to match the rear. The other thing to find out is the lug bolt pattern...make sure its the same as your D30 and will fit your rims. Also measure the width to make sure its not a d44 out of a full size vehilcle or some other surprise.

The document either displays a portion of the file or nothing at all...so I've decreased the size of the photos thinking that might be the problem (now 72 d.p.i.) but still the same problem? Can anyone tell me what 'invalid function resource' means and how to fix? Thanks.

Update Your Application Development Sourcing Strategy To Drive Innovation And Differentiation
August 25, 2011
Why Read This Report
In 2009, the technology industry entered a new cycle of technology innovation and growth, powering a multiyear period of technology investment predicted to last through 2016: the business technology (BT) era. Application development and delivery (AD&D) leaders and their business partners know that software is central to this innovation cycle, driving increased demand — and increased challenges. Many firms are investing to transform the digital products and services they deliver to customers to deepen engagement across multiple touchpoints, requiring app delivery to become more customer-centric and innovative. Yet many firms struggle to reorient their priorities to reflect this age of the customer. While app delivery leaders must make many changes to people, process, and technology to this end, few changes are more critical than revisiting the development sourcing strategy to prioritize speed and innovation over lowering costs.

Haley Fortier
"class clown"
Haley Fortier magically appeared in a small town called Woodsville, NH in 1977. Upon spreading her wings and relocating to Boston in 1997, she has worked as a circus clown, a breakdancer and a professional carrier pigeon trainer.
Although we all wish this to be true, none of it is.
Haley Fortier brings over 10+ years of hospitality industry experience to the business, most recently finishing up her 7.5 year tenure working for Barbara Lynch at Sportello Restaurant in Fort Point Channel. Her passion for food & wine gave her the momentum and motivation to open a wine bar in Downtown Crossing in 2016. Her personality will hopefully keep it alive for many years to come.
A real t-shirt & jeans type of gal, Haley enjoys sipping a dirty martini seaside. Her dog often mistakes her for a much taller, less hairier dog and she wears a size 11 shoe.
Kristie Weiss
General Manager
"official knock-knock joke teller"
Kristie Weiss hails from the Midwest state of Illinois but has spent the past 10+ years here in the Boston area working at a number of celebrated properties including Blue Ginger, Alta Strada & No. 9 Park. She became a familiar face in the lobby of the Lenox Hotel as their Guest Services Manager until her departure in 2015. She brings an incredible amount of talent and industry knowledge to the table through strategic planning, number crunching & financial foresight.
Kristie is a terrible skateboarder (as proven by a broken ankle), brushes her teeth with rosé, and has an affinity for knock-knock jokes. Snapchat aficionado, she also owns everyone's favorite bathroom accessory, The Squatty Potty and currently writes a blog about it titled "Squats up?"
