What's in the Plan?
While the contents of each blueprint package vary slightly, each contains detailed, high-quality workingdrawings that show you exactly how your project is to be built. Your plan package may include the following:
1. Detailed Floor PlansDetailed floor plans show the layout of each floor of the house. Rooms and interior spaces are carefully dimensioned, doors and windows located, and keys are given for cross-section details provided elsewhere in the plans.
2. Exterior ElevationsIn addition to the front exterior, your blueprint set may include drawings of the rear and sides of your house. These drawings give notes on exterior materials and finishes. Particular attention is given to cornice detail, brick and stone accents or other finish items that make your home unique.
3. Front PerspectiveThe artist's sketch of the exterior of the house gives you an idea of how the house will look when built and landscaped.
4. Foundation PlansThis sheet shows the foundation layout including concrete walls, footings, pads, posts, beams, bearing walls, and foundation notes. If the home features a basement, the first floor framing details may also be included on this plan. If your plan features slab construction rather than a basement, the plan shows footings and details for a monolithic slab. This page, or another in the set, may include a sample plot plan for locating your house on a building site. Additional sheets focus on foundation cross-sections and other details.
5. House and Detailed Cross-SectionsLarge-scale views show sections or cutaways of the foundation, interior walls, exterior walls, floors, stairways, and roof details. Additional cross-sections may show important changes in floor, ceiling, or roof heights, or the relationship of one level to another. These sections show exactly how the various parts of the house fit together and are extremely valuable during construction. Additional sheets may include enlarged wall, floor, and roof construction details.
6. Floor Structural SupportsFloor framing details come with plans that have basement and/or crawlspace foundations. Each includes spacing, direction, span, and specifications for floor joists. Beam and window headers, along with necessary details for framing connections, stairways, or dormers are also included.

Finding an effective way to deal with hair loss in Riverside,New Jersey can be difficult.
Those that experience balding/thinning hair usually don't take any steps to prevent it because of this. You just need to:
TAKE ACTION ! Hair Loss IS time sensitive.
This article covers both angles – some tips you can try at home + the #1 Bought Solution – Provillus – CLICK HERE to Get The Facts
Avoid Hair Loss in Riverside, New Jersey
Avoid hair breakage, kinks, and snags by sleeping on pillowcases made from silk or satin.
The weight of your head on the pillow creates a lot of friction, and your hair is caught in the middle. The smooth textures of silk and satin allow your hair to glide over the fabric as you move during your sleep, which means less tugging and breaking.
In order to help regrow hair that has been lost, you may want to consider purchasing an organic shampoo.
Many times, hair loss in Riverside, New Jersey is caused by the use of shampoos and other hair treatments, so it is important that you reverse this damage. Organic shampoos do that by cleansing your scalp and unclogging follicles so that hair can grow back.
Alternatives to Hair Loss in Riverside,New Jersey
A wig may help you deal with hair loss in Riverside,New Jersey for the short term. Get a wig prior to all hair coming out, so that you can get a matching color. Purchasing your wig before your hair falls completely out also allows you to prepare yourself for the time that you will need the wig. You can practice wearing it and styling it.
If you have a very hectic life, make sure that you find at least one hour during the day to exercise.
Exercising helps to relieve stress and flushes out the toxins from your body. Aim to exercise at least three days a week to maintain a healthy head of hair.
The most essential foods that you can put in your body for your hair are fruits. Fruits contain a plethora of beneficial nutrients and complement any meal during the day or night. Eat fruit to obtain a high dose of vitamin C, which helps with collagen formation for your hair.
Grow Back Hair in Riverside, New Jersey
Natural herbal supplements to grow back your hair in Riverside, New Jersey are the way to go for people who want to avoid the side effects associated with traditional medications. Some supplements will obviously work better than others, so you will need to test each one out individually to see what works best for you.
Avoid the use of harsh shampoos if you are trying to save your hair. They can be incredibly drying and make the hair shaft rough and difficult to comb or brush. Use a shampoo formulated for babies or children for the gentlest cleansing and condition well after shampooing.
If you use sticky styling products, brush your hair well before shampooing to remove as much of the product as possible and use a gentle clarifying shampoo occasionally to remove build-up.
Make sure that you comb your hair before you go to sleep each night if you want to prevent hair loss in Riverside,New Jersey. Hair that is combed or brushed before bed is healthier and less likely to fall out. Try not to sleep on your hair either– this makes it more likely to fall out.
Lifetime Hair Loss Remedies in Riverside, New Jersey
Be ready for a lifelong application process if you opt for Rogaine or any Rogaine-like medicine. As soon as you stop using these products, your hair will again weaken and begin to fall out. Products like these counteract the genetic causes of hair loss, but only as long as you're using them.
As said before, there are many people that do not know how to prevent balding or how to stop it from going further.
Maybe because they are embarrassed or don't know where to look – TAKE ACTION!
Use some of the tips above & make sure you at least check out the link below which is all about the #1 Solution on the market. At least then you will have all the facts & can make your own mind up – Thanks for Reading.

Restaurant owner arrested for threats
The owner of a Canonsburg restaurant was arrested Feb. 7 by borough police for allegedly threatening the mayor, code enforcement officer and his own brother earlier this week.
Sean R. Jordan, 42, of 214 Greenside Ave., Canonsburg, is charged with two counts of terroristic threats and five counts of harassment. Jordan owns McGrogan's Tap Room and the adjacent Big Fella's Pizza on East Pike Street.
Borough officials stopped at the restaurant Feb. 1 to talk with Jordan about him doing unauthorized construction work at the restaurant but were told by employees he was in Deep Creek, Md.
On Feb. 4, Jordan called borough manager Terry Hazlett and left a message using profanity with several derogatory remarks, including a threat to "blow up the Pop Music Hall of Fame," police said.
He also left a message about 6 a.m. Feb. 4 for code enforcement officer Sam Ditullio, using profanity and threatening to beat him up. He left a similar message for zoning officer Ron Bachner. A short time later, he called Mayor David Rhome and left profane remarks about the mayor and the mayor's business. He then allegedly told the mayor to "leave me alone or I will get you."
Also Feb. 4, Robert Jordan arrived at the police station to file a complaint against his brother for allegedly threatening him. He returned two days later to show police threatening text messages reportedly sent to him by Sean Jordan. Sean Jordan allegedly threatened to harm his brother at the office of District Judge David Mark. He also told his brother to "have fun at Washington Hospital" and said he would drag Robert Jordan out of his apartment and kill him.
Jordan was arraigned before District Judge Ethan Ward and placed in the Washington County jail on $100,000 bond. A preliminary hearing is set for Feb. 19 before Ward. Mark recused himself from the case.

As the third season of HBO's "Game of Thrones" begins today (9 p.m.), we're more hard-pressed than ever to identify absolute good guys and absolute bad guys. That's just one of the reasons why the series is so great.
The new season technically picks up where season 2 ended, but in a larger sense, the points of demarcation between seasons are somewhat artificial: "Game of Thrones" is an ongoing epic combination of many stories, all of which are in a constant state of evolution, as are many of the characters. That's one way of saying there will be no spoilers here, but what is it beyond the show's powerful performances, visuals, special effects, sex and blood-churning battle scenes that sets "Game" apart?
First and foremost, it's about character, so much so that as eye-popping as the battles, sex scenes and special effects are, they are only some of the reasons the show appeals to viewers of every age, male and female.
Power is the tipping point for many of "Thrones"' characters. Seemingly good characters can go bad because of power. At the same time, people we perceive as villainous can demonstrate surprising but still credible compassion at times.
Not coincidentally, many of the female characters are as powerful as the men who would be kings. Some women, like Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie) and young Arya Stark (Maisie Williams), display that power in traditional male ways: Brienne can wield a sword as well as any man, while Arya impersonated a boy in order to survive after her father's execution. Others, like Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) and Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), frequently out-think and out-maneuver the men around them.
Catelyn Stark (Michelle Fairley) may be motivated at first by traditional maternal and marital instincts, but life and loss in the Seven Kingdoms soon toughened her into a formidable adversary to any man who threatens her family or her husband's legacy.
At the same time, the men are often victims of their own masculine hubris. The series continues to focus on men in danger of becoming intoxicated by their own power, including Petyr "Littlefinger" Bailish (Aidan Gillen), the arrogant boy-king Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson), the scheming Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage), Stannis Baratheon (Stephan Dillane) and the "kingslayer," Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau). Even Robb Stark (Richard Madden) shows a moment of weakness with regard to his relationship with his mother in the new season. Some of these men may find themselves out on very shaky limbs in the third season, but even if they seem to avoid a comeuppance for now, we suspect they are riding for a fall eventually.
Viewers unfamiliar with the books were shocked by the first season execution of Ned Stark (Sean Bean), largely because they were given to expect that Stark was a hero in the mold of traditional film and television and, thus, his would be the central story line as the series continued. But by the second season, the audience came to understand how much larger author George R.R. Martin's vision is, another reason that "Thrones" is unlike most TV series.
The series focuses on the "game" of the eternal power-play among the mythical Seven Kingdoms to determine who will occupy the Iron Throne. At base, it is a multi-sided chess match, more than a little suggestive of geopolitics in any age in human history.
At various points, Martin cleverly adapts bits from both British history and traditional mythology – the disappearance of the two young princes, for example, said to have been engineered by the future Richard III, any number of Shakespeare history plays, and the legend of Robin Hood – to advance his stories.
The series is so good, it isn't seriously harmed by its few minor flaws. Much of the dialogue is brilliantly written, revelatory and credible. From time to time, though, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss give in to their fanboy sides and throw in some bloviated howler of a line that feels as though it was lifted directly from a comic book. There are also certain plot patterns in "Thrones." At times, if a male and female character start off sniping at each other like a Medieval Tracy and Hepburn, you can probably count on them at least becoming friends, if not falling in love. And if one character seems to be getting the better of another character, you shouldn't be surprised to see the tables turn sooner rather than later.
With seven kingdoms of action and characters to mine, HBO has a seemingly limitless opportunity to introduce new cast members. Among this season's newcomers are Cierán Hinds as Mance Rayder and Diana Rigg as Lady Olenna Tyrell. Her character's introductory scene is fantastic, but a few episodes in, Rigg gets a chance to demonstrate the full range of her considerable experience and it's magical.
You'll also notice that some of the younger cast members are doing what younger cast members do: grow up. Maisie Williams, as Arya, is now a young woman, but Bran Stark's (Isaac Hempstead Wright) growth is even more noticeable: His voice has changed.

Compare Rolls Royce Garages and Specialists in Redhill with Who Can Fix My Car.
Lee replaced my clutch on my Peugeot 1007 to a very high standard and he was very informative and efficient and I would highly recommend him.
I found it to be a bit pricey, considering that my description of requirement , acquired me quotes from others which was for a gear box refurbishment and if Clutch required changing whilst they would need to remove the gear set, they could do that. However in this case the requirement seems to have been misunderstood; hence quotation was for clutch change only and lubricating gear box; indicatkng that my requirement would have been addresses by the rellacement of the clutch only. It turned out on the first diagnosis that the gear box would need refurbished, which caused be another £350 over the quoted price, plus the vehicle had to be kept in a public cara park overnight.. but the way the wotk was done was Good.
Excellent service all round and a good price. They identified other problems with my car which they fixed. Very friendly and would highly recommend.
I didn't use the service in the end as the car has been scrapped but great response time and estimate
Lee and the boys really came through on my clutch replacement, it probably took them about twice as long as they thought it would have due to seized bolts etc, but they persevered, got it done and stuck to the original price. Definitely will use them again.
They were brilliant, they picked the car up as soon as they could and got it back to me within 24 hours. Good to know i have a good garage if i need one - they are hard to find!
I needed a clutch fitted to car and was advised not to go to Mr Clutch by two independent mechanics. I went with Kens, as a second quote. I used them as they were the quickest to respond to me, and promptly came and collected car within 30 minutes of calling them. Was slightly more than I wanted to pay, but this was because other work needed doing. No stress, no fuss, they delivered car back to me once complete, so I didn't have the hassle of waiting around. Would definitely use again. The other independent mechanics got back to me 2-5 days later and even received a call 2 days ago, way, way to slow. Spoke to Mark from beginning to end and car seems to be running fine. Car was finished within 24hrs.
Marcus came and collected my car same day and took it back to his garage after not being able to fix it on site. The next day he was able to tell me it was my dashboard cluster at fault which wasn't allowing the immobiliser to go off. He drove the part to Rochester the next morning for it to be fixed and fitted and delivered my car back to me later that day. Bit pricey but he diagnosed and fixed the problem quickly.
Would definitely use kens autos again, Marc pick it up my car in the morning and I got it back the same day. Got my air con fix and mot done. Just in time for work the next day. Thanks a lot
Did a great job, picked it up on time, dropped it off on time. Used good parts at a good price, really nice guy and overall did a really good job.
What shall I say, absolutely speechless.... I did not expect that. Very professional service, clearly Tyremark know what and how to do it quickly and efficiently for an unbeatable price.
Brilliant. Thanks very much.
Good friendly service

Great service, good price.
Very pleased with Mark's work - on time and kept to the price quotes which was very reasonable. Will use again!
Mark was very efficient and very friendly. I would use him again, and would recommend him.
Absolutely brilliant, first class service, very knowledgeable mechanic and great polite guy. Really pleased good competitve price and if your looking for a mechanic mark is excellent. Regards Peter
Very pleased with the work carried out, would definitely use again.
Mark serviced my car this week, this is the first time I have used him but will definitely be using him in the future, he has done a really good job on the service and the car is running better than ever. Thanks Mark.
Rob was knowledgable and creative in his solution. He worked quickly and is the sort of bloke I would like to sit in the pub with. Cheers mate.
Rob was a god send, Very reliable, and most of all Honest,Went out of his way to explain things ,Will be recomending him to all my freinds and family ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Bethel Park Library Button Club a unique niche
When most people think of a button, the first thing that comes to mind may not be the beauty, shape or whether it's plastic or wood. The majority of people probably think of a button as a way to secure clothing, but a group of people in the South Hills thinks differently. The Bethel Park Library Button Club, a small group of about 10 people, meets monthly to talk about, learn and sometimes buy, sell or trade buttons.
These aren't your ordinary shirt buttons – many are elaborate, vintage and meant more for display than to wear. The club was started in February 2010 by retired Bethel Park Library librarian Mary Mullen and came out of a very popular Lunch and Learn program led by Polly Power of Scott Twp.
"It was one of the best attended," Power said of the Lunch and Learn program.
The club meets monthly at the library and is led by Power, who has been collecting buttons for about 10 years. She is also a member of the Keystone Button Club of Western Pennsylvania.
Reference librarian Linda Zeybel said she "never realized the variety of buttons" until she started helping out with the club. "They're like stamps," or any other collectable, Zeybel said.
Zeybel said while she doesn't collect buttons, "I'm finding them more interesting," adding that she is fascinated by them because they come in so many materials.
The library has a button donation box at the circulation desk for anyone to drop off buttons they would like to donate to the club. The club holds an auction with its members for the buttons, and the club then donates the money to the library.
Buttons can be made of metal, glass, plastic, wood, aluminum, fabric and just about every material imaginable. They also come in every shape, color and size.
Power said her interest in buttons started many years ago after reading a library book on the subject.
"It's totally informal," Power said of the button club's meetings. "We talk about whatever people want to talk about." Some of the topics have included history of buttons, making jewelry with buttons, making your own buttons and competing in button competitions.
Power said one of her favorite things about the club is when someone new brings in an old box of buttons, saying they are like treasures. "We really encourage visitors," Power said. She said some folks may visit the club just to have an "expert" look at their buttons.
Power said she hasn't counted how many buttons she has in her collection, but she's constantly looking for new ones. "They're irresistible!" Power said with a laugh. "We can't contain ourselves."
She said locally she goes to garage sales, antique shops and flea markets to scour for buttons, but the best places to find buttons are at button shows, which are held in the Pittsburgh area or nearby in Ohio a few times a year. At button shows, vendors often have what button collectors refer to as a "poke box" where collectors can "poke" around and find a lot of different types of buttons for not a lot of money. Power stressed that button collecting is a relatively inexpensive hobby, and often, buttons can be found for as little as a few dollars, or even less.
Power said button collecting started to become popular during the 1930s because it was an inexpensive hobby. "It began as a very affordable hobby, and for the most part has stayed very affordable," Power said. "The fun is finding affordable ones you love." She added that the most expensive buttons are Civil War-era buttons, because they are in high-demand.
Power keeps a display of buttons in her home, which she often changes. As for her favorite button, "It changes every day."
The Bethel Park Library Button Club meets at 11 a.m. on the fourth Wednesday of each month in the municipal conference room adjacent to the Bethel Park Library. Anyone with an interest in buttons, or those wanting to learn more about that old box of buttons in their closet, is welcome to attend and there is no fee for the club. Folks can also call the library at 412-835-2207.

In this page we will mention 10 good reasons for why you should consider using our website. We will compare our website to the other market places we are selling on, such as eBay, and highlight the differences between the two.
Benefits of using our website in comparison with eBay:
1- Better discount rates than eBay.
2- Flat rate shipping cost that does not increase significantly if weight/quantity increases.
3- Lower Tax rates. We charge 10% VAT for some countries while on eBay we charge their default 20% VAT rate.
4- Automatic submission to live tracking updates that you will receive regularly by email.
5- If signing up to Facebook updates at order's confirmation page; you will receive regular updates from us in regards to your order, using Facebook messenger.
6- Easier to add more than one item to the basket, and apply same discount to all items. On eBay you have to use their best offers methods, which is not a straight forward process for combined items.
7- Higher quantity of items in stock on our website than eBay. On eBay all items are limited by a quantity of 5 or less. On our website you can buy up to 15 items for each fragrance available in stock. Quantity can be increased by your demand.
8- You can view the items on our website according to your preferred currency by changing the currency symbol on the currencies menu. eBay limits you to the currency of the eBay market place itself, and your browser's local currency of the IP Address you are using.
8- We have a live chat support on our website. On eBay you rely on their messaging system as their only authorised method of communication.
9- We have a shipping calculator on our website. This functionality does not exist on eBay as you have to view the shipping costs on every item's page separately.
10- On our website you can pay using one of several payment methods such as credit and debit cards as well as PayPal and even BitCoins. On eBay you are limited to using PayPal only.
Automatic Coupon Codes
We have replaced static coupon codes with automatic ones. The way the system works is as follows:
* Add at least £49 worth of items to your Cart, and you'll automatically receive a 10% discount.
* Make it £99, and you'll automatically receive a fantastic 15% discount.
* Top it up to £149, and you'll automatically receive a generous 20% discount.
* You'll be regularly updated with a notification banner, whenever you add a new item to the Cart, informing you about how much is left for you to reach each specific discount target, until you reach at least one of the targets necessary. It is not mandatory to achieve any of these goals, but this means you won't be eligible for receiving discounts for items of total of less than £49, unless you have another coupon code that you want to use in the Checkout area.
* The discount WILL NOT BE visible in your Cart's page (you will see a notification banner informing you that you met a certain target, and telling you how much discount that you've earned). Therefore please don't be discouraged from continuing to the Checkout page, probably thinking that the total price in your Cart is final (after applying the discount). This is NOT the case. The discount will be applied in the Checkout page, AFTER you leave the Cart's page.
* If you have an account with us and you are a member of one of our Loyalty Point's plans, then please note that having a coupon code in your Checkout page WILL reduce the amount of loyalty points that you can earn to be redeemed for at a later stage. This note is especially important to our Gold and Platinum plan users, because the value of discounts for your points worth a higher percentage of value than the coupon codes themselves (The discount levels are 25% for Gold members, and 40% for Platinum members). Therefore, you can manually delete the Automatic coupon code from your Checkout's summary page if you want to earn the maximum value of discount for your money.
* Static coupon codes can still be used. If you have a regular coupon code that worth a better discount value than the automatic ones; then please follow the same advice of the paragraph mentioned above, and delete the automatic code from your Checkout's summary page. After doing that, you can manually insert your coupon code instead.
* Note: Better discounts can be offered to customers who want to buy several items in bulk, or use a non-free shipping service, or both. Please contact us for full details.

I wouldn't at all be surprised to still see the fairly hefty collection of TCats on the clearance shelves there for months to come. Sadly.

That is the name that I have decided to give the blogosphere. The Great Unifier. I have traveled extensively in the Blogosphere from Georgia to the Phillipines, Singapore, Mozambique, Tanzania and back again. And this is only the beginning. But more important than the different physical locales that I've traveled to are the different opinions and points of view that I've been exposed to. The varying perspectives presented either overtly in blog posts or more subtly in a sidebar.
I have visited blogs that are written by radical right wingers, feminists, womanists, all about power to the people – people being whoever the writer represents. I have gone to hair spots and beauty spots, fashion blogs and animal lovers (I must admit the cat people are an interesting bunch). I have visited mommies and daddies. Most of my travels are in the mommy clique but I have also visited single men, single woman, single mothers, teen boys and teen girls. And have had the pleasure of reading their words.
At a good number of the places and spaces I visit I leave my mark. Sometimes I post a witty comment and at others a dissenting opinion. But I am always respectful of the writer and their work. Sometimes I am the sole person commenting outside of family and I receive a note so thankful that someone else read their words. One place I visited I commented on a post that I had political differences with. It happened to be a mommy blog with a couple of guest writers- each discussing the current presidential race from their political perspective. The mommy and her husband are on opposing sides of this presidential race and she gave him a platform to speak. A disagreement ensued in the comments and I along with a few others were called out by name because of our opinions. The author of the blog wrote to all of us and apologized. I appreciated the sentiment but thought it unnecessary. We are not always going to agree and as long as we can disagree respectfully I am cool with that.
I guess the point I am making is that as I cruise the blogosphere it doesn't matter if I hold the same political or religious views of the writer or if I am of the same ethnicity or nationality of the person I am visiting. I treat everyone with respect and if I read something that is seriously offensive I close my browser and move on. Making a note to self never to travel that way again. That is the beauty of the Great Unifier.
We are all on equal ground. All of our voices can be heard and those that choose to can read or move on. We have the potential to influence others and the blogosphere is a powerful tool to get our personal thoughts out there and see what others are thinking.
This is a beautiful thing. So many times we are guessing what folks with differing opinions are up to. Here we have this information on a silver platter. I feel blessed to have the ability to interact with democrats and republicans, Christians and Jews, pagans and witches. Old and young, computer savvy or just learning. Professional writers and wanna be writers. We may not always agree but we can learn from each other in a way that otherwise would not be possible without The Great Unifier. Perhaps you are not ready to truly be a part of The Great Unifier and remain comfortable visiting in your niche. That is okay too. But please understand that you have an opportunity to learn that folks you may not agree with fundamentally are just like you in more ways than you think. Ultimately I believe this is the biggest eye opener. At least it has been for me. And I for one am thankful. I don't really know who to thank for this opportunity I will just say thank you God for the technology and thank you folks for putting your voice out there. Suffice it to say but I am enjoying myself immensely.
* Note * I do realize that there remains a digital divide and unfortunately not everyone has access to this wealth of information. There are still numerous homes without access to computers and like everything else it generally breaks down to socio-economics. I personally wish there was a way for everyone to have computer access, perhaps our world leaders can work on that. But barring that there is one way I know of to make a difference. If you know of a mommy/family/individual that you think is deserving of a computer visit 5 Minutes for Mom. They are hosting a giveaway of an HP laptop and printer for a deserving individual. Nominate someone there. They are accepting nominations until August 27th and announcing a winner on August 29th.

We are studying the Get Certified Guidebook, DIVIDA manuals and tapes. We are studying to take the certification in the Junior Associate American Style Core Dances.
Your teaching information has been very valuable to us.
Thank You,

"We aren't interested in teaching but realized the the process ourteacher went through to be certified helped his dancing. Therefore we decided to learn the syllabus in detail. We recently bought 'Get Certified! How to train for your DVIDA Professional Exams' and we feel it is also for the serious dancer interested in learning the technical details of dance than can make the amateurs look like professionals. Not only does the DVD fully explain aspects of dance such as CBM and Line of dance, it contains golden nuggets of why certain steps are taken a certain way. We can't recommend it highly enough and feel it will help our dancing immensely. Thanks for producing such a high quality DVD"

EBBW Vale boss Jason Strange has reluctantly turned down an approach to join the Newport Gwent Dragons coaching set-up.
The former fly-half has caught the eye by leading the Steelmen to four successive titles and promotion back to the Principality Premiership.
His efforts have impressed the Dragons director of rugby Lyn Jones and assistant Kingsley Jones, a former coach and captain at Eugene Cross Park respectively.
The region have been without a backs coach since Darren Edwards left in February and Strange was sounded out about a role back at Rodney Parade, where he played for Newport between 2001 and 2003.
However, the 40-year-old from Tredegar combines his post with the Steelmen with a job at Ebbw Fawr Learning Community and felt the time was wrong to make the move.
"I did speak to the Dragons but it's not quite right for me at this moment," he said. "I was flattered and I had a big decision to make.
"It was tempting because their recruitment has been excellent and they have some really exciting young players in the squad.
"But with my good job at the school and having put all that work into Ebbw Vale over the last four years (to earn promotion) it would have felt wrong to leave at this time.
"I've got aspirations to coach at the top level and I have had other approaches from English clubs. It's something that I will have to consider more in the future and I will have to take the plunge at some stage, but not quite yet."
Lyn Jones, who is currently in New Zealand watching the Junior World Championship, is poised to continue working with the backs after taking on more responsibility at the tail end of last season.
He has previously extolled the virtues of occasionally bringing in consultant coaches, a model he used at his previous job with London Welsh in the Aviva Premiership.
"Myself and Kingsley are hugely experienced coaches and nothing can happen in rugby that we haven't been through already," he said in March. "We are not experts in every field but we can hire in expertise."

Dodge Body Lifts
Making the decision whether to install a body lift kit or a suspension lift kit on your Dodge is sometimes dictated by your budget. While body lift kits are typically more affordable initially, installation can sometimes offset this savings with the later model Dodge. An older model Dodge typically only required the body mounts be replaced with a possible steering extension addition. The later model Dodge often requires installation of additional bracketry as well increasing the cost of the body lift kit and installation charges.
Installing a body lift kit on your Dodge does not affect the factory ride quality and there is no need to purchase longer shocks. There is a cosmetic difference, however, as the frame is visible. This can be offset with the addition of GAP GUARDS that are inserted within the wheel wells.
Shop the leading makers of body lift kits for your Dodge Ram pickup 1500, 2500, 3500, Dakota, Durango or Ramcharger.

$27 million is the estimated "economic impact" if every employed New Mexican drops $50 at locally owned businesses over the holidays, as Gov. Bill Richardson has encouraged...
$90 million is the estimated budgetary benefit if New Mexico kills the out-of-state corporate income tax loophole.
"One [caller] suggested corporate taxes on companies such as Lowes, Cost Co, and Sam's.."—From a press release by Lt. Gov. Diane Denish's office on suggestions made via her "government efficiency hotline.
With the state's "$25 2 MainStreet" campaign, Gov. Bill Richardson has hopped on the buy local bandwagon. But he could do more to help small businesses.
According to a November analysis by the DC-based Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, New Mexico's reliance on the gross receipts tax reduces spending power for the people most affected by the current recession.
Middle-income earners, averaging $35,700 a year in income, pay 9.9 percent of their income in taxes; the state's top 1 percent, who average $395,000 a year, pay only 4.5 percent. Middle earners would have an extra $900 a year to spend in local shops if their point-of-sale taxes were cut in half.
The state could make up lost revenue by closing a tax loophole that benefits big-box stores. A proposal by state Sen. Peter Wirth, D-Santa Fe, to require so-called "combined reporting" of business income, would close the out-of-state corporate tax loophole.
Michael Mazerov, an economist with the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in Washington, DC, testified at the New Mexico Legislature last month in favor of Wirth's proposal. On Nov. 30, Mazerov released a report rebutting critics of combined reporting, especially former Tax and Revenue Department Secretary Dick Minzner, now a corporate lobbyist.
In an Oct. 18 column in the Albuquerque Journal, Minzner said the "current corporate income tax system is not unfair to small local businesses."
Mazerov says the lobbyist is wrong, and accuses Minzner of shilling for his clients.
"There's no question that large, multi-state companies have opportunities and take advantage of them to reduce their income tax payments in ways that smaller businesses just can't," Mazerov tells SFR. Closing the loophole "is one small thing states can do to level that playing field a bit."

Nikon D4 reviewThursday March 15 2012 Sensor Review
Last Friday we had the chance to attend the Nikon press conference introducing the Nikon D4 and lay our hands on a pre-production model used for filming and broadcasting the conference live on the web.
The first thing that struck us when holding the D4 with the new AF-S 85mm f/1.8G lens mounted is that the couple feels incredibly light. Of course, we're talking about a camera that weighs 1340g without a lens, but it is well-balanced and fits perfectly in your hand. A Nikon official told us that the weight was reduced by about 60g compared to the D3s, and that they had a hard time doing so since the D3s was already very optimized on this point.
When putting your eye to the viewfinder, you discover a large and bright image — no improvement over the D3s there, but still a very pleasing experience, especially when you are used to APS-C cameras. The camera is extremely responsive, and even in the poor lighting conditions, the autofocus responds instantly with perfect accuracy.
Among the small details and improvements we were shown, we liked the new joystick that lets you choose your autofocus point from among the 51 available very quickly. Its shape will be familiar to Canon users, and the fact that it is repeated at the back of the camera (for portrait shots) is a welcome addition (one shared with the Canon EOS 1D X). The joystick can also be used for scrolling through an image in playback mode. We also liked the fact that the autofocus mode (AF-S or AF-C) is indicated in the viewfinder and can be changed very easily without taking your eye from the viewfinder.
When looking at the pictures we shot on the 3.2" LCD screen, we found the high ISO performance to be satisfying. Of course, ISO 208,400 photos are not noiseless, and we could even see some mild banding, but it was already a miracle that the image was not drowned out by noise at such a high sensitivity! (Remember that we're working with JPEG images shot with a pre-production camera, and since we were not allowed to take any images back home, we will have to wait until we have a production camera and RAW images to pass along definitive advice.) Apart from that, the screen itself looks well-defined, maybe a bit dull — but nothing to worry about.
One of the most highlighted features was the new WiFi module that allows using any WiFi device as a file browser and as a remote control for the camera. Attendees were invited to connect to the camera to their iPhone to try it for themselves, and the feature was also demonstrated on an iPad.
The most impressive thing about this new feature is that you really do have full control over the camera through a simple web browser. You can see the live-view image at a decent frame rate, change shooting parameters, shoot pictures, and even shoot videos without having to install anything! We were told that iPhone and iPad applications are under development to make the user experience even better on these platforms.
All in all, from what we could see, the Nikon D4 brings improvements to almost every feature that previously existed, and includes everything you could expect from a camera at this price tag. It will be very interesting to see how well its sensor performance competes against the Canon EOS 1D X, which should be available a bit later. We cannot wait to see these two models in our laboratory!

Am I reading wrong, or does DxOMark list two different scores for the Nikon AF-S VR 105mm f/2.8G IE-ED on the D4? One one page the score appears to be 35 and on another 27. See:

Re: Nikon AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED on D4
You are not reading wrong! Here is the explanation: we changed the dxomark and sharpness scoring system last December (for further information you can have a look at DxOMark's Perceptual Megapixel on this page: www.dxomark.com/index.php/Publications/DxOMark-Reviews/Looking-for-new-photo-gear-DxOMark-s-Perceptual-Megapixel-can-help-you).
For this reason, previous reviews using the old scoring system are now indicated with a banner. This one was actually missing but that should be fixed soon.
Sorry for that!
ISO performance
but this is a conspiracy against DxO ....... still denied its results ....
another denial
Opss...... another site that belies the DxO dynamic range:
When you are not sincere
if you click here, and understand Italian, you can see that your assessment of the noise and dynamic range is too sbilanciat in favor of NIKON.
In Reala is better the Canon ......

What a joke!
I agree with avicenna. The 70-200 II came out in 2009 and you haven't had a chance to get your hands on one?? Stop comparing lenses that cost orders of magnitude more or less than others, and please check other sites before you recommend a 20 year old lens over a brand new one that all other sites consider improved (50 f/1.8s). You probably have a bad copy if your tests are against all other recommendations!

Missing newer lenses for comparison

This a comment for this page on the website

You guys need to catch up on lens reviews before you post lens recommendation articles...
Some of the lenses you recommend are so old you can't even BUY them anymore. Many sections completely ignore newer lenses that are far superior to the old versions (Nikon 50mm f/1.8 AF-S for example), just because you haven't reviewed them.
You are doing a disservice to your readers.
Lenses for sports and wildlife photographers
> where is the Nikon 70-200 VR II f/2.8 and the Tamron 70-200 f/2.8
Lens suggestions for portrait photographers
> where is the Nikon 85mm f/1.8 AF-D and Nikon 85mm f/1.8 AF-S
Fixed Prime Lens Recommendation
> where is the Nikon 50mm f/1.8 AF-S - it should outperform the older AF-D version
The ultimate wide-angle lens for landscape photographers
> THIS is the worst. How can you compare a 24mm f/1.4, a 20mm f/2.8 that costs 1/4 of the price, and a manual-focus 14mm!!! Especially the 14mm, which is 40% wider of an angle than the 24mm!
> You should have compared the Nikon 24mm f/1.4 versus the newer Nikon 28mm f/1.8 and the older Nikon 28mm f/1.4 AF-D.
> Or how about the Nikon 28mm f/2.8, 24mm f/2.8 and 20mm f/2.8 for a budget prime shootout?
Micro lens recommendation
> Where's the new version - the Sigma 105mm f/2.8 OS. You can't even BUY the old version anymore!
> What about the Tokina 100mm macro? Should have been a 4-way comparison of Nikon, Sigma, Tamron, and Tokina lenses.
Missing section: Ultra wide angle
> Here's where you put the Samyang 14mm - compare it against the Nikon 14mm f/2.8 and the Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8.
> Or compare the Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 against the Tokina 16-28 f/2.8 and Sigma 12-24 f/4.5-5.6.
> Or compare the Nikon 17-35 f/2.8 and the Nikon 16-35 f/4 against the Tokina 16-28.
Missing Section: NORMAL ZOOM
> This is the lens type that most people buy anyway, and yet, it's not here.
> Where is the Nikon 24-70 f/2.8, the Sigma 24-70 f/2.8, the new Tamron 24-70 f/2.8 VC, the new Nikon 24-85 f/3.5-4.5 VR, or even some of the old Nikon f/2.8 zooms (since we're doing ancient lenses anyway).

D4 vs D800
Hi to all,
Just thought I would share my opinion on the D4 and D800. It might help some of you guys out.
I owned a D3s and D300 and now use the D4 and D800 for weddings, model shoots and urban photography.
First I would like to state that the D4 is just the best camera I ever owned. It is really superb. I also shot with Canon (5D mkII) but the Nikon models just feel better when holding them. When it comes to overall image quality I would just as easily use a Canon camera. Just to point out I am not one of those guys who loves to bash the other brand :) Nikon or Canon are both great camera manufactures but I just prefer Nikon.
On all camera's I use a 14-24 2.8, 24-70 2.8 and 70-200 2.8. So there was no difference regarding lenses.
The picture quality of the D800 and D4 are in my opinion pretty much the same. The higher resolution of the D800 makes reducing noise somewhat easier and brings out a little more detail.
The D4 however is much better build. I find the D800 more plastic and it feels somewhat cheap.
But when it comes to model shoots the higher resolution is just great to have.
During a wedding I use the D4 for the make-up shots, ceremony, diner and party. But for the bridal shoot I use the D800 for 90% off the time. When I need higher ISO's I drop the D800 and go back to my D4.
The D4 is fast while focussing and has a better ISO performance than the D3s. Most say that the ISO performance of the D3s and D4 are the same but that is not true. I can go up to ISO 10000 on my D4 and get the same quality as when I shot at ISO 6400 on my D3s. For my D800 and Canon 5D MKII I won't go higher than ISO 3200. And on my D300 I really didn't go any higher than ISO 1200. Just to point out that I am really picky when it comes to noise.
The battery life of the D4 is also better than some say. I shoot around 1700 images during a wedding (starting at 8:00 AM till 1:00 AM) and still have 3 bars left.
I don't do video so I can't say if Canon does a better job on this part.
In my opinion the D4 is the best camera to have.
If you can afford it, go for it. I sold my D3s and paid a lot extra for the D4 and find the better focus (in the dark), higher resolution (for cropping) and better ISO performance are worth the money. For all types of photography in which you need a fast focussing monster camera this would be the one.
When doing solely model shoots or urban photography the D800 would be the best choice because of the higher resolution.
For nature photography go for the D800E.
If you don't need the higher resolution and don't have the cash for a D4, then buy a second hand D3s. You can buy one for around 3000 euro's which is the same price as a D800. But the D3s is much better build. And the ISO performance of a D3s is so much better than on a D800.
Hope this will help some of you decide.
You can find my work on pixed.nl

Why use old lenses?
Hi Just have a question: Why do you use old lenses for the tests? There is a BIG difference between the Nikon AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G IF-ED and the newer version 70-200mm II.

Sony pro relfex?
Probably not, its more mirrorless even tho mirror is still there, but its EVF based camera. Sony wont make dSLR in future. Cause of that I doubt they will match D800, there will be loss of SNR due half-silvered mirror if I dont count that one which will be caused by different CFA and Sony usuall approach "colors over everything" (which is why I like them :). Plus D3x didnt performed like A900 either (cause Nikon is pretty good in squeezing Sony chips). Tho as main supplier for Nikon, they actually profit either if Nikon wins.
Im quite interested in what should be "lower" Sony model with 24 mpix FF (revised or new chip supposedly). Imagine 36 mpix A99 priced around D800, then decent 24 mpix FF priced quite a bit lower.. :D

I finally found Scaris Deuce!! Me and my niece went to Target last night to return some items and low and behold a lone Deuce was there. It's funny because originally we weren't going to check the toy aisles. But she kept insisting. She got to the aisle before I did and yelled in excitement! I've never seen her get so much excitement out of a toyline like this one (reminds me of myself with Masters back in the 80's). Now time to hunt for Catrine, Toralei Cheerpack, and Swim dolls.
Does anyone know if Mattel will ever release a regular retail Scarah or Hoodude? Alot of people missed out on the exclusives and the online prices are insane!!!

It wasn't his first car, but my dad earned his 1937 Ford.
He bought it from an elderly neighbor, Mrs. Toby, in 1952.
He paid $5 down, and $5 a week to her.
Until he got it paid in full, Mrs. Toby did not let him drive it, although she did let him back it out of the garage into the driveway and put it back again.
His father asked him one day how much he owed Mrs. Toby.
Dad told him after he made that week's $5 payment, his balance would be $10.
Granddaddy pulled a $10 bill out of his wallet...

Peters Township attorney David DiCarlo is suing the former head of the Washington County Drug Task Force and 10 other unidentified men, claiming he was irreparably harmed by false information they put on a website when DiCarlo was a candidate for district attorney.
In 2011, DiCarlo, a Democract, faced off against Republican Eugene Vittone. Vittone won the election by just 112 votes.
In a lawsuit filed Nov. 19 in Washington County Court, DiCarlo claims Ronald Levi led the coordination of the website "votenodicarlo.com." The 10 "John Does" allegedly were co-creators of the website.
The website was created on Oct. 7, 2011, and hosted by iPage Inc. of Massachusetts. It was registered under a fictitious address in Afghanistan and to a fictitious person named Missy Thompson, according to the civil complaint.
In the lawsuit, DiCarlo's attorney, Matthew L. Kruzweg, contends the website contained false information regarding DiCarlo while it featured discriminatory photos of the attorney, including one of DiCarlo's face with an "X" and "Vote No! DiCarlo" over it.
Beneath the photo was written, "I WILL IGNORE POLICE CORRUPTION."
On the home page and on a page entitled "Career History," the website claimed DiCarlo did not participate in any jury trials during the two years he served as an assistant district attorney and indicated that DiCarlo represented only a limited number of people as a private criminal defense attorney.
DiCarlo contends as ADA he handled more than 29 jury trials and as a private criminal defense attorney has represented hundreds of people in the county while being counsel in approximately 45 jury trials.
Also, the website falsely claimed DiCarlo advocated for police corruption and that he promised to ignore wrongdoing by law enforcement, specifically making a reference to former Monongahela police Officer George Langan, who was arrested and later pleaded guilty to the sale of narcotics.
"Defendants had no factual basis on which to rely in publishing these materials," the lawsuit reads. "Because this content was false, was published with actual malice and caused harm to DiCarlo, the content was defamatory."
Meanwhile, the lawsuit claims that during the election campaign, Levi and others promoted the existence of the website on fliers that they handed out and posted in public view. The fliers also contained false information about DiCarlo.
Subsequently, DiCarlo contends the defamatory content posted on the website and fliers was done with malice and intent and had a direct impact on the election.
He also claims the defendants' action has severely damaged his reputation and private law business, while causing him to suffer emotional and mental distress and anguish, loss of sleep and fatigue and severe humiliation.
He is asking the court to order that the website be removed from the Internet and all search engines, and is seeking compensatory and punitive damages.
Both Kurzweg and DiCarlo refused to comment on the lawsuit.
Levi was hired as head of the drug task force by former District Attorney Steven Toprani. He resigned from the post shortly after Vittone took office.
Levi's attorney, Dennis Popojas, said he hasn't yet reviewed the civil complaint but believes that anything posted on the Internet is protected under the First Amendment.
The website is no longer available on the Internet.
