For Windows Vista, GPD and PPD files contain Print Schema mapping and new entries that are specific to XPSDrv print drivers. These changes apply to the GPD and PPD files that you can use to create GPD-only or PPD-only configuration modules and configuration modules for Unidrv or Pscript5 print driver plug-ins.
XPSDrv-Specific GPD and PPD Entries
To create a Version 3 print driver configuration module for an XPSDrv print driver by using a GPD or a PPD file, you must do one of the following:
Create or edit the GPD or PPD file. The file must include the configuration keywords that describe the features that the printer supports. Standard GPD or PPD keywords are automatically mapped to public Print Schema keywords, but nonstandard keywords are mapped to a private namespace, by default.
Include the Msxpsinc.gpd file, if you are creating a GPD file, or the Msxpsinc.ppd file, if you are creating a PPD file. These files include the following keywords, which indicate that the resulting configuration file will be part of an XPSDrv print driver.
For Msxpsinc.gpd, it contains:
IsXPSDriver?: TRUE
For Msxpsinc.ppd, it contains:
*MSIsXPSDriver: True
Including the Msxpsinc.gpd or the Msxpsinc.ppd file is the preferred approach rather than adding these attributes to the GPD or the PPD file. Microsoft could add future attributes for XPSDrv drivers to the appropriate include file. If Microsoft adds the new attributes to the include file and you use the include file in your GPD or PPD file, you will not need to edit the print driver's GPD or PPD file.
The root GPD or PPD files (which are specified in the INF file as the driver's
DataFile) for all Microsoft Unidrv or PScript5 driver-based XPSDrv drivers must include the corresponding Msxpsinc.gpd or Msxpsinc.ppd file.
For example, for Model-foo.gpd, include:
*Include: "msxpsinc.gpd"
For Model-foo.ppd, include:
*Include: "msxpinc.ppd"
Print Schema Mapping
Print Schema mapping is a feature of the Unidrv and PScript5 configuration modules that translates GPD and PPD keywords to their equivalent public Print Schema keywords. By default, all standard GPD and PPD keywords are mapped to their equivalent public Print Schema keywords. Nonstandard keywords in a GPD or PPD file, however, are mapped to a private, device-specific namespace by default. You can improve this mapping by doing one or both of the following:
Specifying the private namespace for nonstandard keywords.
Associating nonstandard Feature and Option keywords in the GPD or PPD file with their equivalent keywords from the public Print Schema in the GPD or PPD file. This association enables the configuration module to generate the PrintTicket and PrintCapabilities data as public Print Schema features.
GPD File Example
The following code example shows a GPD file that illustrates the entries and keywords to create a Version 3 configuration module for an XPSDrv print driver.

Accession Number : ADD014260
Title : Method of Making Carbon Dioxide and Chlorine Free Fluoride-Based Glass.
Descriptive Note : Patent, Filed 20 Jun 88, patented 27 Jun 89,
Corporate Author : DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE WASHINGTON DC
Personal Author(s) : Hutta, Joseph J
Report Date : 27 Jun 1989
Pagination or Media Count : 4
Abstract : The present invention relates to an improved method of making fluoride-base glass free of certain contaminants, and in particular, free of carbon dioxide and chlorine. Considerable effort has expended to develop heavy metal fluoride glasses ('HMFG') as a viable family of infrared-transparent optical-materials for application as fiber waveguides and as bulk optical components. The present process is directed to typical heavy metal fluoride glasses of the compositions: (XF4+BaF2+LaF3+ALF3+YF) where X is either zirconium or hafnium and Y can represent sodium, lithium, lead, indium, or no addition. For example, the melt mixture may contain multi-component fluorides, or, alternatively, the mixed oxides or oxyfluorides plus ammonium bifluoride (NH4HF2) in a crucible, preferably made of a nonreactive inert precious metal such as platinum, platinum alloys or gold but also including vitreous or pyrolytic carbon. This crucible is placed within a furnace contained within a vacuum chamber. The chamber is evacuated to around 110 torr and then backfilled with sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) to a slight positive pressure. The mixture is then rapidly heated to about 800 + or - 10 C., held there at temperature for a brief period then rapidly cooled. The present invention is a process of providing, high optical quality heavy metal fluoride glasses that lack devitrification, straie, seed, internal bubbles, crystalline inclusions, dissolved CO2 and chlorine contamination or other defects and inhomogeneities common in glasses of this type. Patents. (aw)

Urge your members of Congress to support continued medical research funding
Which specialty should I choose? What type of work do I want to do? Where do I want to work? You may often ask yourself these questions as your medical school training progresses.
Choosing a medical specialty is one of the most important decisions you will make as a medical student. While there are many options to consider when determining your career path, a career in hematology can satisfy any interest - whether in patient care, research, or academia - and any desired work setting, such as a hospital-based practice, academic medical center, corporate, or government environment.
As a medical student, ASH can help provide you with valuable resources such as career-enhancement and training awards that will be critical to your training and leadership development in hematology.
ASH also offers a complimentary student membership for Medical Students, Graduate Students, and Residents. Visit the membership section of the site to learn how to sign up to take advantage of these free benefits or contact us at email@example.com
Hematology is the study of blood, blood forming tissues and organs, and blood disorders. Hematologists specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of blood disorders.
Did you ever think that you could use zebrafish to help discover new treatments for cancer or create artificial red blood cells to combat the rising need for blood transfusions? How about performing a stem cell transplant to treat otherwise incurable genetic and autoimmune diseases? You can do all of this and more as a hematologist.
Hematologists research, diagnose, and treat various blood disorders, including anemia, blood clots, bleeding disorders, and blood cancers. Because blood runs through every organ and tissue in the body, hematology has an enormous ripple effect extending to all fields of medicine. Modern advances made by hematologists have help millions of people around the world, not only with blood disorders but also with heart disease, stroke, and scores of inherited diseases. Learn more about some of the groundbreaking advancements made in modern hematology over the past 50 years.
Find inspiration from the hematologists below and others as they remember the moment that they decided to pursue hematology:

As a business it is crucial to ensure that steps are taken to identify and protect the intellectual property of the business. Often start-up businesses find themselves in situations where they are unable to identify and project vital business assets.
What Intellectually Property is in a Business?
The intellectual property of a business is often those items that enable your business to gain a competitive and financial advantage within the marketplace. Intellectual Propertycovers inventions, designs, code, authorship (content) and trade secrets. Trade secrets are particular methods of carrying out activities, which are unique to your business and provide a specific competitive or financial advantage.
How you protect your intellectual property depends on what types of intellectual property you have. Many small businesses often conjure up an image of expensive lawyers and tedious applications when considering intellectual property. Below are some steps you can take to better understand and project your business intellectual property.
Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA)
Starting or running a business can involve designers, developers, consultants, writers, marketers, venture capitalists, registrations, competitions and a host more of 3 party interactions. If your business is providing a 3rd party with access to you trade secrets, you should consider an NDA agreement. You may be allowing a developer access to your server to program or getting a content writer to ghost write articles for you're a website and you may need to provide access to sensitive material. Whatever the reason, a business should have an NDA in place.
A NDA is a legally enforceable agreement, which insures your information cannot be disclosed or passed on to third parties. The agreement creates a confidential relationship between the parties to the agreement. Any information not in the public domain is protected under the agreement. It should also me noted that many companies have their employees sign a NDA on commencement and termination of employment.
Assignment of IP Rights
Protecting information is one point, ensuring your business owns the rights to specific pieces of work, which form the business, are another matter. In a business such as technology, it is custom to see investors or buyers evaluate the business based on the intellectual property of the business. This could range from the source code of the application or design of a logo.
Intellectual property assignments are crucial documents to enact as a start-up business to ensure your business owns rights to their business assets. These agreements provide confidence to buyers and investors that the founders have legally transferred the IP to the company to run the business.
When Should I ConsiderIP Assignments?
IP assignments transfer the ownership rights of a specific piece of work from one person to another. Assignment of rights can be carried out on a variety of work, including source codes, content, web design, logo design etc. If you have any doubt when to enact an assignment of IP, it is best to be prudent and enact an IP assignment.
Assignments can include:
- Assignment of a domain name
- Assignment of trademark
- Assignment of copyright
- Assignment of rights in software
- Assignment of rights in website
- Assignment of rights in logo
- Assignment of All intellectual property
Each business should develop and actively enforce IP protection strategies. While the common intellectual property assignments such as copyright, trademarks and patents are usually those most talked about, trade secrets must be given its equal share at the table. As an entrepreneur and business owner, you should always operate on the side of caution and ensure your business executes NDA agreements and IP assignments on all external projects.

Film Drunk has the backstory on the new Mel Gibson comedy (it orignally starred Steve Carrell as a man who communicates to the world with a beaver puppet). For whatever reason, this picture just seems to speak for itself.
When Gibson replaced Carrell, I was kinda disappointed but not anymore. Remember how Mel Gibson used to kill comedies? I mean, like really knock them out of the park. Like the comedies he was acting in were Jewish or something (remember when we all just assumed Mel Gibson was an anti-semite before he basically came out and admitted as much?).

1. Paying Too Much for the Land Purchase
Paying too much for the land purchase is always an issue for homebuilders particularly during such times as these when there is a feeding frenzy and land appears to be scarce. Builders begin to hoard land and bid land prices up. The land purchased may not fit the current product line the builder is offering or the price might move his home sales price out of the competitive price band forcing him to develop new product or reducing the sales velocity of the community. Builders should keep the emotions out of the land purchasing process and use the economic model that was presented last month.
2. Lack of Adequate Market Research
Prior to going hard for the land the builder should have a market research study done to determine the appropriate product for the land, the current and potential competition, the depth of the market, the appropriate sales price for the homes and the anticipated absorption rate. It surprises me at how often the builders buy land without a market research study to determine the feasibility of the project.
3. Going Hard for the Land Too Early
In today�s hot land market, many builders are making the mistake of going hard on the land prior to completing their due diligence. Builders should negotiate an adequate option period to allow enough time to conduct several basic studies to ensure the projects feasibility and profitability. The builder will start spending money, but themoney will be well spent at this point instead of making a land acquisition mistake. The preliminary research should include: market research to determine product, sales price, and absorption; feasibility study to determine the basic financial model and profitability; environmental study to determine the presence of endangered species or wetlands; political study to determine the political atmosphere of the community in general and the given parcel of land in particular; utility study to make sure that all necessary utilities areor will be available and adequate for the community; and a preliminary land plan to determine and verify the lot yield.. If any of these studies generate a problem not anticipated the builder can renegotiate the price or walk from the agreement.
4. Aggressive Takedown Schedules
Today, landowners and developers are requesting aggressive take-down schedules. If the builders cannot sell homes at the same rate as the lot take-down, they will have to inventory land to stay in the community. Wile builders are naturally optimistic, they should negotiate a conservative land take-down schedule that matches oris a little short of the community�s projected sales volume. Builders need to protect their cash flow. If the take-down schedule proves too aggressive, the builder needs to go back to the landowner and renegotiate.
5. Holding Too Much Land
Builders tend to be gluttons for land. Consequently, today we are seeing builders amass huge land inventories. Builders should have a clear land strategy such as outlined in the article in the May issue. The land strategy should match production capacity and sales velocity. Large land holding with its drain on cash flow has been the cause of numerous homebuilder failures. Builders holding land ready for development or developed that cannot be absorbed within the target period of time, should flip the land to another builder, capture the profits, improve company liquidity, and/or reinvest the funds in land that better fits future needs.
6. Lack of Adequate Financing for the Project
The land development process can have many very expensive surprises. The amount of time need for both entitlement and development can be substantial expended.During the entitlement process the builder will hire a number of professionals to assistwith the land planning and municipal submissions. Generally their will be delays andnumerous resubmissions during the entitlement process and the professionals clocks arerunning during the whole process. During the actual development process there can besubstantial cost overruns for unanticipated events. If the project gets delayed and theroads are not installed before the asphalt plants close for the winter the project openingmay be delayed for six months. Also don�t forget the municipality will typically requirea bond for the public improvements which may not be released until the end of thewarranty period.
7. Not Developing the Team Approach
During the land planning process the builder will rely on a number of professional: civil engineer, environmental engineer, land planner, market researcher, architect, marketers, merchandisers, advertising agencies, etc. Frequently the builder works with each of the professionals one on one. The professionals should work as ateam to allow for cross fertilization. The builder is the team leader giving the team direction.
8. Phases Are Too Large
Generally there are efficiencies in developing large phases due to the mobilization costs, and the ability to spread the up front costs of the amenities, fencing, monuments, utilities, spine roads, etc. over more lots. However, there are a lot of negatives. Large phases substantially increase the required carrying costs. Construction tends to be spread throughout the phase on scattered bases reducing efficiency and the appearance of excitement and viability of the community. It also reduces the ability to increase priceswith the opening of a new phase which not only increases profitability but allows for the liquidation of the less desirable lots in the earlier phase without discounting.
9. Selling Premium Lots First
The balance of premium lots to standard lots needs to be maintained thought the development. Too often the builders sell off the premium lots first and then are left with the standard lots and the less desirable lots for the remainder of the communities build out. The balance of premium lots should constantly be monitored and the lot premiums adjusted to assure there will be premium lots available throughout the developments live. The lot premiums should not be discounted just to get sales since it will eventually have a greater impact on sales and the premiums will not be available for the discounting of the inferior lots.
10. Not Offering Multiple Product Lines
Instead of developing the site for one product line the builder should consider designing the property for multiple product lines. Since each of the product lines will be marketed to different target markets the lot absorption will be increased. This will reduce the risk and increase the builders return on investment.
11. Going It Alone
Consider putting a consortium of complementary builders together for land acquisition. The builders can afford to buy a larger development, and spread the advertising, promotional, marketing costs amongst themselves. The community will have more energy, excitement, and vitality. They can develop the land into separateneighborhood for each of the builders and improve their return on investment.
12. Land Not Treated as a Profit Center
Builders should keep the land development operation in a separate profit center from the homebuilding operation and transfer the finished lots to the homebuilding operation at the �builder retail price� or the price at which the finished lots can be sold to independent builders, thus capturing the land profit in the land development operation. Too many builders subsidize the homebuilding operation with the land profits realized from the land�s increased value as derived from entitlement, development, and appreciation. Finished lots are recorded at cost instead of market value in the house cost of sales. The builder thinks he is making a profit on his homebuilding operation but in truth he is making money on the land and potentially losing money on the homebuilding operation. He would be better off selling the land instead of building homes.
13. Lots Not Adequate for Standard Plans
Too often builders end up with a number of lots that will not accept the standard plans. The builder should make sure that all lot building envelops will accept all standard plans with the standard options. If the builder is going to offer a three car garage option it should fit on all lots. Too often I see builders having to design specific houses for specific lots because the building envelope will not accept the standard plan. This happens very frequently on cul-de-sac lots and lots with utility easements. This is typically a result of lack of adequate review of the land plan, trying to force the number of lots, and/or the architect and land planner not working as a team.Land acquisition and development can substantially improve builders� profitability provided the builder establishes a land strategy, makes sure the purchase agreement is structured for the targeted housing sales price, profit objective and sales velocity, and the builder does not make too many mistakes. Land is an appreciating asset as it moves through the development process. Therefore, it should be treated as a profitcenter to capture it profit instead of commingling it with homebuilding profit.

As I travel the country, I see builders lost in this new economic environment with no knowledge or mental map of what to do. Many continue to operate the same way, thinking they will get different results if they just work harder and hope the problem will go away. All have a high chance of failure during this cycle. To be a survivor, you need to turn your fear into focus and make a new mental map of where you are and the environment you are in.Source: Professional Builder
By Mary Alice HewittWhen builders discuss scheduling, they typically only think about their hard schedule � the actual construction time and process.

It should come as a surprise to absolutely no one that the relationship between professional athletes and video games has grown closer over the years.
Gamers, once seen solely as geeks and wedgie targets by those in the sporting life (sorry for bringing up any painful memories), have recently been embraced by the world of millionaire jocks. Athletes can be made even richer through lucrative game endorsements, and manufacturers want to co-opt athletes' cool so that they too can see some more green.
And besides, what's the real difference between a pro athlete and a kid with a controller in the basement? Both are just playing games, after all.
On June 18 at the NBA Store in midtown Manhattan, those two worlds – the full-time professional athlete and the gamer who would love to make it a full-time profession – collided.
They came together at the final round of the Nokia NBA 2k5 Championship, NBA 2k5 being 2K Sports' popular answer to Electronic Arts' powerhouse NBA Live series.
The final four contestants were competing for $10,000 in cash, an appearance on ESPN2's morning talk show "Cold Pizza" and, perhaps most importantly, eternal bragging rights.
Four rising NBA stars also had their own mini-tournament, with the winner receiving $25,000 for the charity of their choice. They were: Andre Iguodala, 21, the versatile Philadelphia 76ers rookie; Chris Bosh, 21, a 6'10" Toronto Raptor who just finished his second season; 20-year-old New Yorker Sebastian Telfair, a straight-out-of-high-school Portland rookie who graced the cover of Sports Illustrated while he was still in homeroom; and Corey Maggette, a Los Angeles Clippers guard and the eldest of the bunch at 25 years old.
Couches were set up in front of two big screen televisions on the NBA Store's scaled-down basketball court. One station had NBA 2k5 for Xbox, and the other TV was reserved for Playstation 2. It was a high-pressure atmosphere, at least for the regular Joes. NBA players are no doubt used to high-stakes games, gawking onlookers, dancing cheerleaders, bright camera flashes and announcers waiting to pounce on ever mistake.
Ah yes, the announcers. The whole affair was being taped for broadcast on NBA TV, the league's cable channel. Lingering behind the contestants were play-by-play man Gary Apple and color-commentator Ed Lover, the wisecracking former co-host of "Yo! MTV Raps." Now, if you think two professional broadcasters analyzing an 18-year-old's video game basketball skills – while cheerleaders shake pompoms just off to the side - is an unusual scene, well, let's just say you're pretty much dead on.

While Marion "Suge" Knight might not be a stranger to prison, a murder charge, even a second-degree charge, could land Knight in the pen for the duration of his natural life. Luckily, the man behind Death Row won't have anything to worry about as it's been made official that Suge Knight has been granted immunity.
RELATED: Suge Knight Sues Ice Cube & Dr. Dre for $100 Million Over 'Compton' Movie
Why would the prosecution grant him immunity? Well, it turns out that Knight is a bastion of information regarding the knowledge of various high-profile crimes including the murders of Tupac Shakur and Christopher Wallace aka Notorious Big.
Unsurprising to anyone familiar with the Rampart Scandal, representatives from the LAPD have already stated that "if Knight is required transportation anywhere for witness protection, we've got a squad ready to take him to a nice, safe wasteland in Nevada."

Here at Oakland Karate & Kickboxing, we have our Youth Program, which teaches children ages 4-12. In our Youth Program, we have a reward system that improves the kids' self-esteem. The belt system is the key to achieving that. When kids earn their belts and their skills stripes, it gives them a great sense of accomplishment that really improves the way they feel about themselves.
Our program also teaches discipline. We enforce good rules of behavior in class, and we expect the same good behavior at home and in school. Oakland Karate & Kickboxing teaches children essential and proven self-defense skills in a fun and lively environment. The program also addresses BULLY PREVENTION; including playground altercations, protecting personal "space", setting boundaries, abduction awareness, and how NOT to start a fight.
Our students are much less likely to act out of anger or fear or have to use physical resistance after asserting some of the proper awareness skills and appropriate de-escalation behavior. One of the core reasons our program is so successful is because we make the classes challenging, fun, and exciting. If the kids are having fun, they learn much faster. Come in today with your child and experience the wonderful world of martial arts!
When enrolled as a student at Oakland Karate & Kickboxing, your child will have the opportunity to train in our Shaolin Kempo Karate & Muay Thai Kickboxing classes.
This program is the best way to compliment the Shaolin Kempo Karate training. Special classes for children are offered twice a week on Tuesday & Thursday at 4:30pm. These classes are for children from 8 years old and up. They learn discipline and the fundamentals of Muay Thai Kickboxing. Most importantly, we train our students to be good citizens and helpful members of society in a fun and non-threatening environment.
Integrated inside our Shaolin Kempo Karate is our Youth Jiu-Jitsu program. It is an excellent for kids ages 4-12, it teaches techniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, including takedowns, ground skills, and self-defense. This program is designed to help students gain knowledge of Jiu-Jitsu as well as enhanced levels of attention, discipline, and respect for themselves, their peers, and their instructors.

ROBB FLYNN of MACHINE HEAD:
"Also, believe it or not, the Master Cleanse iPhone App gave me immeasurable help, without it, I probably wouldn't have pulled it off."
"I need to lose a few pounds of holiday excess, anyone else? I like to do fasts and detoxes a couple of times during the year, the most hardcore one being the Master Cleanse I did last spring. It was not what you would characterize as pretty. Or easy. It did work, however."
What is the Master Cleanse?
Our bodies are incredible machines, constantly at work metabolizing foods we eat, extracting the good and eliminating the bad. But our bodies have difficulty eliminating the accumulated toxins caused by environmental pollutants, processed foods and unhealthy lifestyle choices.
The Master Cleanse is a complete body and mind detoxification program created by Stanley Burroughs in 1941 to help people flush these toxins out. It's a simple and effective program. It's as easy as drinking delicious homemade lemonade consisting of fresh lemon juice, grade B maple syrup, cayenne pepper and water, in addition to a delicious tea, water and a salt-water flush.
Each ingredient used is specifically designed to aid in:
– Detoxifying the liver
– Neutralizing cancer-causing free-radicals
– Increasing blood circulation
– Soothing the digestive tract
– Raising metabolism
– Strengthening the immune system
– Preventing the growth of infectious microorganisms
– Stimulating the colon
– Removing intestinal plaque build-up
– Eliminating harmful bacteria
What's great about this app is that while we stayed true to Burrough's original method, we've taken into account recent scientific advances and included tips such as the importance of taking probiotics following the cleanse in order to replenish the good bacteria in our stomachs, and drinking through a straw to prevent the acidity in the lemonade from potentially wearing away enamel on teeth.
Happy Holidays and don't forget to start the New Year off healthy!

It is not easy to explain how much I have appreciated your services as an attorney and along with that your love and compassion for my sister. Thank you so much, our family was touched by the way you came to our assistance.
Thank you for the dedicated advocate for seniors.
A most sincere and understanding lady.
The type of work you do can often be difficult and perhaps even frustrating, and often overlooked without so much as a thank you. Thank you for your every effort in my behalf. You have helped me a lot.
I was very impressed with Bonnie. She was very pleasant and very helpful. Great lady.
Unbelievable… wonderful, made me so proud to be an American.
Very impressed with the help provided for me
Keep up the great work Bonnie. If I can refer anyone I will. The support I got from you… made it all possible.
She is a very able and willing worker.
She was very patient and thorough in her explanations. We appreciate the caring care.

In this day and age of viruses, spyware and other such nuisances, it is very easy for computers to quietly collect such threats which squander your computer's resources, causing it to start running more and more slowly, and in worst cases threaten your data. To combat this, every PC should have Antivirus and Antispyware software and firewalls are essential too. Even the most carefully kept, internet connected PC can suffer as its files become fragmented throughout its hard drive or corruption of its Registry causes Windows not to start.
We carry out hardware upgrades, such as installing new DVD or Hard Disk Drives, adding wireless networking or installing more RAM in your computer. We also carry out repairs to computers so if your computer refuses to start or has broken hardware such as a CD ROM drive or Hard Disk Drive, we can repair or replace the hardware or advise you on warranty repairs. If your computer's Hard Disk Drive is having problems, we can also save data from it, or in some more serious situations, carry out data recovery to rescue lost data from a failing drive.
To this end, we offer comprehensive maintenance and repairs for all makes and models of PC, for Apple Macs and for peripherals. We charge a fixed labour fee for most types of repair carried out in our workshop so you know from the outset what the cost is going to be. Even if the repair required isn't one of our fixed price ones we will still give you a quote for the repair before proceeding.
In addition to our laptop and desktop repairs we offer a comprehensive screen repair service for smartphones and tablets.
We don't just work in our centre. If it is more appropriate or if you would simply prefer it we can come to you, give us a call and we can normally be with you the same day.
If you prefer the peace of mind resulting from knowing that your costs are covered you may be interested in our Personal IT Support Contract. We believe this represents the best value IT support contract available in Edinburgh.
For a fixed monthly cost, the contract covers all labour charges for any repair work carried out not only to your computer but also to any peripherals, such as your printer or to your home network. The contract covers work carried out in our centre, at your home or via remote access. Click here to see the terms and conditions.

Specification – NRG Details: PDF - NRG Details: MS Word – Composite Diagram: PDF
Part 1 — General
Submit color samples for selection from manufacturer's groups Traditional, Classic and Premium. Submit product literature, certifications, test reports and sample(s) of each color specified.
Certifications: All NRG. Insulated Concrete Masonry Units will meet or exceed ASTM C-90, normal weight classification.
Material: All insulated, web-less, concrete masonry units shall be NRG ICMU's, (Insulated Concrete Masonry Units) except corner, half, solid bottom bond beam and sash units. These special units shall be conventional units and shall interspersed into the NRG wall construction where needed. Incorporation of conventional CMU's into the NRG wall system will have no adverse effect upon thermal performance of the overall system. NRG ICMU's are available from manufacturers licensed by Niagara Regional Group, Ltd. ICMU's shall be specified as lightweight, medium weight, or normal weight NRG design units. All units contain a manufacturer-approved integral water-repellent CMU admixture at the time of manufacture. The NRGâ"¢ ICMU's are available in Split Face, Marble Face, Marble Face Polished, Weathered Face and Gray block. Check with local suppliers for availability. All Masonry Units must contain an integral Expanded Polystyrene Insert installed at the site of production.
All Masonry Units must contain a Dovetail design to lock the insulation and inner and outer module together. All Masonry Units must not contain a thermal bridge from face to back where as sound, moisture, and thermal energy can be conducted through the wall.
General Conditions
Part I: It is important to note that the NRGâ"¢ ICMU (Insulated Concrete Masonry Unit) is designed with an off-centered core configuration. Therefore, the vertical rebar (positioned and set in the poured foundation) must be matched to the same off-centered designation. (According to specific size units the position of the vertical rebar will vary.) i.e.: 12" ICMU offset is 2.5"
Part II: List the requirements for mortar, reinforcing, concrete block work and other associated work and details that relate to this product. If this information is detailed in another section, it should be cross-referenced under this heading. The NRG Insulated Wall System is laid similar to any other block, either in a running bond or stacked bond. (To insure that the thermal mass of the unit is on the inside, face shell and thumb holes toward the outside exterior of the wall.)
Note: This will also insure that the wall is laid with the tightest thermal barrier.
Scope: Interior and exterior walls shall be insulated, web-less, concrete masonry units as shown on the plans/ or indicated on the finish schedule.
Fire Resistance: Fire rated for up to 4 hours. Define hourly ratings required by NCMA TEK Notes, available at oldcastlenortheast.com
Field Constructed Mock-ups: Construct a sample panel, no less than 4'x4', of units of each color and size to be used in the project. (These units need not be NRG ICMUs).
A full size unit is required to illustrate color and texture for approval. Manufacturer requires a sample panel be installed at the jobsite prior to installation of any Oldcastle masonry product. This panel will represent both the quality of the product and the workmanship to be expected for the project. The panel must be approved by either the owner or architect for the project. Manufacturer will provide 4" units for a 4' by 4' sample panel at no cost for the material (excluding freight to site).
Store pallets in single stacks on level ground and cover with waterproof covering (e.g., tarpaulins) to protect the blocks from inclement weather. Handle blocks carefully to avoid breakage and damage to the finished surfaces.
Protection of Work: Cover walls each day after installation to keep open walls protected and dry. After units are installed they should be protected from damage by other trades performing operations that can stain or otherwise damage the finished surfaces by covering walls with plastic. Corners should be protected from damage after installation by covering them with plywood.
NRG Insulated units are manufactured by:
Anchor an Oldcastle Company (732) 292-2674
975 Burnt Tavern Road, Brick NJ 08724
Northfield Block Company (800) 358-3003
3400 E. Bungalow Road, Morris, IL 60450
Colored matching or contrasting mortar is available from manufacturer. Consult NCMA TEK Notes, available at oldcastlemasonry.com for mortar type and specifications. For all exterior mortar, use matching manufacturer-approved water repellent mortar admixture following manufacturer's instructions. Consult manufacturer for recommendations.
Face Sizes: Modular 8′x 16″
Face Mortar Joints: 3\8″ exposed.
Shapes: Shapes not available in the NRG design shall be substituted for using conventional hollow core CMU's matching the same finish and color of the NRG units.
Scoring: The NRG block cannot be scored.
MASONRY CLEANERS Carefully following manufacturer's instructions, using appropriate Masonry Cleaner by PROSOCO.Do not powerwash.
CAUTION! Never use Muriatic Acid solution or any cleaner with an acid base on units.
Part 2 — Products
Lighting: Provide adequate lighting for masonry work by placing all lighting at a reasonable distance from the wall for even illumination. Do not use trough lighting.
Cutting: All cuts for bonding, boxes, holes, etc. shall be made using a motor driven masonry saw using either an abrasive or diamond blade.
Note:The NRG unit should not be cut in half.
MORTAR BEDDING and JOINTING
Install flashing at locations shown in the plans and in strict accordance with the details and the best masonry flashing practices.
The faces shall conform to the requirements of ASTM C90 when viewed from a distance of twenty (20) feet at right angles to the wall with normal lighting.
Keep walls clean daily during installation using brushes, rags and the burlap squares supplied on the pallets. Do not allow excess mortar lumps or smears to harden on the finished surfaces. Harsh cleaning methods after walls have been erected will mar the surface of the blocks.
Clean the completed walls with appropriate PROSOCO Masonry Cleaner, strictly following the manufacturer's instructions including thorough rinsing. Do not use acid or abrasives on the finished surfaces. Failure to strictly follow manufacturer's instructions can result in permanent damage to the finished faces. Do not apply Masonry Cleaner with pressure spray above 50 psi. Do not powerwash.
Properly installed and cleaned, units need virtually no maintenance other than routine cleaning. Contact manufacturer for specific cleaning recommendations.
Consult NCMA TEK Notes, available at www.trenwyth.com, for proper installation of concrete masonry units.

Bill Wheeler commented 2012-04-04 18:50:26 -0400It is indeed shocking Karen. I'm shocked that more states don't already have this in place. I'm in the Arkansas' Ozarks and I have to show my ID to vote even in county elections where there are less than 5000 total votes cast. So I can't even imagine the concept of not requiring that voters everywhere else positively identify themselves to make sure that there are no mistakes. Anything less seems wholly uncivilized and open to fraud and misrepresentation….don't you think?
