This map is based on the Butterfly Map, an Octahedral System of Projection invented by Bernard Joseph Stanislaus Cahill in the first decade of the 20th century. Cahill was born in London in 1866. He attended Ratcliffe College (University of London) and the South Kensington School of Art before venturing to the United States in 1888, where he worked as an architect specialising – amongst other things – in mortuary and mausoleum design; he was sometime editor of the American Builders Review. During his life, Cahill was a Fellow of the Royal Geological Society and the Royal Meteorological Society, a Member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Institute of Architects and the British Institute of Philosophical Studies. He invented the Butterfly Map, depicting landmasses to scale and with minimum disturbance of angles, with the needs of the scholarly community in mind, providing a more suitable alternative to the 16th-century Mercator projection, originally designed for nautical purposes. Cahill died in 1944. The Butterfly Map had made little impact on his contemporaries, but to mark the 99th anniversary of its 1913 patent, a redrawn version (thanks to Letty Ten Harkel) is presented here.

Note: For projects with a regional focus, a single dot has been placed in the centre of the region concerned. Projects that have a broader theoretical or conceptual focus and cannot be regionally situated are not included on the map.

Attached to the rear of the vehicle, the tightly-furled car plumage extends the automobile out by another length'n'half or so, tapering to a line in a manner similar to a long-feathered bird. This makes the car look more aerodynamic, and keeps tailgaters at bay on the road. Embedded orange,
red and white LED's sub in for tail-lights.
Normal vehicle steering automatically yaws the feathers (wiggles to the side) when turning or changing lanes, to avoid cold-cocking people and other vehicles.
Which is fine and dandy by itself, but push a button on the keyfob and the assembly tilts then fans outwards - twenty feet up and to each side - in the classic "strutting peacock" display, and the rest of the LED's come to life.
Discrete control of plumage movement can also be made available to the car's security system and media player for autonomous, choreographed showstoppers.
Great for intimidating other vehicles at traffic lights, car shows and dealerships. Inject a bit of randomness into stalled traffic.
A different splay pattern and it can be a speed brake.

LeBron James expecting to play Thursday against the Knicks
It's a rarity when LeBron James misses an NBA game. He is one of those players that has to be completely injured to beg out of the lineup.
Last Sunday, James missed the Miami Heat's win over Chicago with a broken nose which was understandable.
The NBA superstar has been practicing this week in non-contact drills and is listed as probable to play on Thursday night against the New York Knicks and Carmelo Anthony.

Global Review Shows Most Countries Lack Adequate HIV Prevention Resources
"Some of the most adverse health consequences of drug use are experienced by PWID. A global review of services aimed at reducing adverse health consequences among PWID has suggested that only 79 countries have implemented both needle and syringe programmes and opioid substitution therapy. Only four countries were classified as having high levels of coverage of both of those types of interventions.
"Information on the availability of HIV testing and counselling and antiretroviral therapy remains sparse: only 34 countries could confirm the availability of HIV-testing programmes for PWID, and 17 countries confirmed that they had no such programmes. There was no information on the availability of antiretroviral therapy for 162 countries."

The Threepenny Opera in Europe
Set design by Caspar Neher
Berlin, 1928, Theater am SchiffbauerdammDirector: Erich Engel
Conductor: Theo Mackeben
Stars: Harald Paulsen (Mack), Roma Bahn (Polly), Erich Ponto (Mr. Peachum), Rosa Valetti (Mrs. Peachum), Lotte Lenya (Jenny)
Length of run: over 2 years
Cast recording: No original cast recording. Lotte Lenya, Erich Ponto, and Kurt Gerron from the original cast, along with several other singers, recorded about half of the score in December 1930 (available on several CD reissues, including Telefunken Legacy 0927 42663 2).
Notes: One of the greatest rags-to-riches stories in the history of theater. After a disastrous rehearsal period, everyone involved thought the show was doomed. Producer Ernst Josef Aufricht had already started trying to find another play for his theater the day before Threepenny opened. But the audiences couldn't get enough, and within a week the show was the talk of Berlin. Count Harry Kessler noted, "It is the show of the season, always sold out." Threepenny-fever swept Berlin-one entrepreneur went so far as to open a club (the Dreigroschenkeller) named after the show-Germany, and Europe. The show saw an amazing 130 productions on the Continent over the next four years.
Renée St. Cyr, Raymond Rouleau, Suzy Solidor
Paris, 1937, Théâtre de L'EtoileDirector: Francesco von Mendelssohn
Conductor: Selmar Meyrowitz
French version: André Mauprey, Nina Tallon Stars: Raymond Rouleau (Mack), Renée St. Cyr (Polly), René Bergeron (Mr. Peachum), Yvette Guilbert (Mrs. Peachum), Suzy Solidor (Jenny)
Length of run: ca. 1 month
Notes: Aufricht tried to recapture the glory of 1928 in front of a much less sympathetic audience. The cast was very strong, and Weill took the unusual step of composing two additional numbers for Yvette Guilbert as Mrs. Peachum, but apparently she never sang them (he also instructed Aufricht to make the staging "as French as possible"). One of the last performances in Europe before World War II.
Brecht with Giorgio Strehler
Milan, 1956, Piccolo TeatroDirector: Giorgio Strehler
Conductor: Bruno Maderna
Italian version: Emilio Castellani
Stars: Tino Carraro (Mack), Marina Bonfigli (Polly), Mario Carotenuto (Mr. Peachum)
Length of run: ?
Notes: One of the most influential post-war productions. In the last months of his life, Brecht visited Milan to see the show and was profoundly impressed, giving Strehler his enthusiastic blessing. This staging made the show known in Italy--Luciano Berio, among others, cited its influence--but it created new performance traditions worldwide. Strehler went on to direct other important productions of Threepenny, in Milan, 1973 and in Paris, 1986.
Daphne Anderson, Bill Owen, Georgia Brown
London, 1956, Royal Court TheatreDirector: Sam Wanamaker
Conductor: Berthold Goldschmidt
English version: Marc Blitzstein
Stars: Bill Owen (Mack), Daphne Anderson (Polly), Eric Pohlmann (Mr. Peachum), Maria Remusat (Jenny). Folk singer Ewan MacColl sang "Mack the Knife" as the Street Singer.
Length of run: ca. 4 months
Notes: Blitzstein's American version of Threepenny got its first overseas exposure in the London production, where it was adapted further, in that the show was set in the early 20th century rather than in the 19th. Two great names from pre-war Berlin, Berthold Goldschmidt (conductor) and Caspar Neher (designer) worked on this production. England had fiercely resisted Threepenny in the 1920's and 30's-why did they need a jazzed-up Beggar's Opera when they were happy with the original?-and this production marked the beginning of a great thaw among British theatergoers.
Program cover
1960, Berlin, Berliner Ensemble (Theater am Schiffbauerdamm)Director: Erich Engel
Conductor: Hans-Dieter Hosalla
Stars: Wolf Kaiser (Mack), Angelica Domröse (Polly), Peter Kalisch (Mr. Peachum)
Length of run: ca. 300 performances
Notes: A return to the scene of the crime. When Brecht returned to Germany in 1949, he formed what became one of the world's leading acting companies, the Berliner Ensemble. They first performed Threepenny in 1960, four years after Brecht's death, with the director of the world premiere, Erich Engel, once again at the helm. Engel credited Strehler's 1956 production for providing ideas for his own revival. Since the Berliner Ensemble was located in East Germany, Engel cheerfully pointed up his version of the theme of the show: the infection of all human relations with capitalism, making this the first Cold War production of the show. The Berliner Ensemble brought its production to London's Old Vic Theatre in 1965.
Brothel scene (Tim Curry at right)
1986, London, National TheatreDirector: Peter Wood
Conductor: Dominic Muldowney
English version: Robert David MacDonald
Stars: Tim Curry (Mack), Sally Dexter (Polly), Stephen Moore (Mr. Peachum)
Length of run: ca. 6 weeks
Notes: Peter Wood, of the National Theatre and the Royal Shakespeare Company, directed this opulent production. Tim Curry (Rocky Horror Picture Show) supplied the Macheath. The critics admired the music and praised Dominic Muldowney for getting an authentic Weimar sound out of the orchestra, but the production proved less popular. Rodney Milnes despaired of the director's concept, accusing him of having made Threepenny into "a quaint little musical comedy."
Hans Falár
1987, Berlin, Theater des WestensDirector: Günter Krämer
Conductor: Peter Keuschnig
Stars: Martin Reinke (Mack), Therese Dürrenberger (Polly), Hans Falár (Mr. Peachum), Ingrid Caven (Jenny).
Length of run: ca. 2 months
Notes: The production coincided with Berlin's 750th anniversary, fittingly, since Threepenny played such a dramatic role in Berlin's history. Krämer opened the show with a brawl between Communists and Nazis, a clear reference to Berlin of the 1920's. The set was startling: a steep staircase taking up the entire stage allowed for staging effects impossible with a more conventional design. An innovative and popular production.
Act III Finale
1994, Frankfurt, Städtische BühnenDirector: Hans Hollmann
Conductor: HK Gruber
Stars: Friedrich-Karl Praetorius (Mack), Katherina Lange (Polly), Jürgen Holtz (Mr. Peachum)
Length of run: ca. 20 performances
Notes: In this production, Weill champion HK Gruber led the Ensemble Modern in a performance of Weill's complete original score, the first time it had been heard in Germany in many years. He included even "Lucy's Aria," a coloratura parody cut from the world premiere and rarely performed since. Critics' eyes were caught by the coffins encircling the stage-each coffin opened to reveal a member of the orchestra. This production was broadcast on German television (3sat).
Mack (Tom Hollander) in jail
1994-95, London, Donmar WarehouseDirector: Phyllida Lloyd
Conductor: Gary Yershon
English version: Robert David MacDonald (book), Jeremy Sams (lyrics)
Stars: Tom Hollander (Mack), Sharon Small (Polly), Tom Mannion (Mr. Peachum), Tara Hugo (Jenny)
Length of run: ca. 3 months
Cast recording: JAY Records CDJAY 1244
Notes: A relentlessly modern Threepenny. Director Lloyd set the scene in 2001 (supposedly the time of Prince William's coronation), and the production team shot the show through with contemporary references-even handing out to the audience a fake tabloid with the headline, "Police Close in on Mack the Knife." Although the production got a mixed reception, it was particularly notable for offering the premiere performance of master translator Jeremy Sams's lyric translations, and for Tara Hugo's Jenny-Variety credited her with "seizing by the throat the Brecht-Weill source."
Stefanie Stappenbeck
and Ulrich Tukur
2004, Hamburg, St. Pauli TheaterDirector: Ulrich Waller
Conductor: Matthias Stötzel
Stars: Ulrich Tukur (Mack), Stefanie Stappenbeck (Polly), Christian Redl (Mr. Peachum), Eva Mattes (Mrs. Peachum)
Length of run: ca. 1 month, plus revivals
Notes: Several of Germany's leading actors highlighted this production at the St. Pauli Theater, appropriately located near Hamburg's famous Reeperbahn (red-light district). In a musical innovation, Mack's gangsters were transformed into a band, the "Rhythm Boys." This production demonstrated that Threepenny is no museum piece-today's actors and directors continue to reinterpret the work in light of modern conditions, and it lives on, fresh and powerful as ever.

How many ports does Protium D5 pump top has?
The Protium D5 Pump Top has 5 ports, 4 inlets and 1 outlet and almost endless possibilities for mounting. The ports are designed to be able to fit even the largest fittings (16mm hardline compression fittings) on all sides and next to each other on the front. It has a unique lid design which allows the pump top to be used on its own or for a reservoir to screwed in directly. The pump top is square with ports facing at 90 degrees on all sides but one which allows for the cleanest possible loop design.

How to Raise a Metal Door Sill
One of the ways that energy is lost from a home is through gaps around doors and windows. Weather stripping can minimize much of this loss, but at the bottom of the door, you may need to replace the sweep, raise the sill, or both. Raising the sill on an adjustable door threshold is something any homeowner can accomplish.
Close the door and examine the gap between the door and the threshold. Look for light coming in from the outside. This will help determine how much adjustment is needed, and where it is needed most.
Using the screwdriver, slightly turn the screws counter-clockwise in the threshold where the most light came through. This raises the threshold. After each adjustment, check the threshold with your straight edge. The threshold should remain straight and not bowed or curved.
Close the door gently and recheck for light entering beneath it. Continue adjusting the screws slightly and checking often. Stop adjustment when the light is eliminated and the threshold is straight. There may still be some light coming in at the edges. Do not raise the threshold too high.
Things Needed
- Screwdriver
- Straight edge
- Check your adjustment often and close the door gently as you do so. You don't want to damage the door, the sweep or the threshold by raising it too much and then shutting the door forcefully.
- If you are going to replace the sweep on the door at the same time, do so before beginning this adjustment. A new sweep will fit more tightly against the threshold and minimize the adjustment needed.

A year ago, Timothy Ferriss was a relative unknown. If the serial entrepreneur was known at all, it was likely for being the only Princeton University guest lecturer who has also been a Chinese kickboxing champion. Since then, as the author of the best-seller The 4-Hour Workweek, Ferriss has become a business-world phenomenon and a media darling sought after by everyone from Maxim magazine to CNBC. How did that happen? Ferriss credits his blogging strategy.
I met Ferriss just as he was beginning his efforts and have taken notes over the last year as he put his strategy into play. Here's what he and others have done to get serious results.
Go where the bloggers are. A few months before his book debuted in April 2007, Ferriss wrote the names of a few dozen bloggers on his whiteboard and said to himself, "I want to get to know them." He then attended BlogHaus at the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show, where 700 bloggers and journalists hung out for a week. There, he made dinner plans with bloggers he had targeted. I attended one such dinner hosted by Teresa Rodriguez Williamson — the author of Tango Diva, a blog for women who like traveling — where Ferriss regaled us with fun stories about his travels.
Want to know where to find bloggers? Look at Upcoming.org's event calendars frequently. You can figure out which events a preponderance of bloggers say they're attending and keep track of them through the service.
Read the blogs of the people you want to cover you. Ferriss regularly demonstrates that he's reading a blog by sending a note within minutes of a posting, linking to that blog from his own blog, and adding public comments to posts. Not only does each blogger get to know him, but their readers do too.
Send bloggers interesting stories — especially about other people. Buzz Bruggeman, cofounder of ActiveWords, regularly directs bloggers to news items that he thinks they would be interested in and sends them links to interesting new blogs or videos. When he has something about his own business to announce, those bloggers are more receptive to him than to some PR firm that only flacks for its clients. No wonder Bruggeman got more downloads of his software through blog mentions than he did with a four-star review in USA Today.
Start blogging. When Mike Arrington, founder of the blog TechCrunch, hears an interesting story, he goes to Google and starts searching other blogs so he can read more about it. His prime bit of advice to the startup looking for a golden nod is to tell its story on its own blog. That way, Arrington will have a resource to help him decide whether to write about the company — and the background material when he does.
Don't send press releases. The blog world is built on relationships. Ferriss met bloggers personally and created a memorable impression by telling interesting tales. A couple of months later, when he asked those bloggers for permission to send them a copy of his book, most said yes. Within a week, he had dozens of blog reviews — because he got to know us first rather than just firing off a pitch. That's the thing about the power of blogs, a fact that too many businesses take for granted: A guy with a handful of readers can do as much to help or hurt you as someone with a million. So what's your blogging strategy?
Robert Scoble is the managing director of FastCompany.TV. Drop him a line about your blogging strategy, and he'll post the best ideas at Scobleizer.com.

emotional health & wellbeing
Deep tissue massage is a specific type of massage therapy that concentrates on the deep layers of muscle and fascia in the body.
Deep tissue massage usually focusses on alleviating certain muscular and skeletal conditions, including tension headaches and poor posture and will often require a series of treatments to provide maximum benefit. Deep tissue massage can help with:
Reducing Chronic Pain: Deep tissue massage is commonly used to release long-term or chronic muscle pain and restriction.
Improving Blood Pressure: Deep tissue massage helps ease stress and tension, which can have a beneficial effect on blood pressure. A study in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that people's blood pressure fell after a single 45 to 60-minute deep tissue massage.
Breaking up Scar Tissue: Over time, deep tissue massage therapy can help break up and eventually erase scar tissue. While ultrasound therapy, chiropractic treatments, cold and heat will help the injured area, they will not remove the scar tissue.
Improving Flexibility and Suppleness: By working on muscles, connective tissues, tendons, ligaments, and joints, regular massage can improve your flexibility and range of motion, keeping your joints more fluid and making them less injury prone.
Stress Relief: For people who suffer from chronic stress deep tissue massage can provide relief. A 2010 meta-analysis in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry found that massage modalities like deep tissue reduce stress hormone levels and heart rate while boosting mood and relaxation.
As therapeutic massage works deep within the body a trained therapist will usually do a thorough consultation before the treatment to establish if there are any general or local contra-indications to the massage.
The more vigorous style of deep tissue massage is based on Swedish massage. In this case techniques such as effleurage and kneading comprise the preliminary moves of warming up the client's muscles and relaxing them.
Once circulation is flowing, deeper techniques – using the forearms and elbows, soft fists, supported hands or thumbs and trigger point therapy or myofascial release – can be applied to relieve tension and access deeper muscles.
A deep tissue massage can be performed in 30, 60 or 90 minutes or longer. Stretching and corrective exercises are often given at the end of the treatment, not only to correct posture but also to achieve better muscle balance.
Each deep tissue massage will be different and focus on specific areas following the therapist's initial consultation. The next section describes a typical treatment to give you some idea of what you can expect, but it is important to emphasise that your massage therapist will tailor your massage to your body and your specific needs.
The therapist will first ascertain the clients' problem by doing a range of movement and other specific tests to determine what is causing it. After agreeing on a treatment plan, the therapist will drape the client and begin the massage. They will usually start by palpitating the back area. After identifying any tight and restricted areas they will add oil and apply effleurage and petrissage to warm and loosen the muscles.
A forearm technique can work into the deeper layers of the back and help to break up muscular tension. Once the superficial and intermediate back muscles have been loosened, the therapist uses an elbow to access the deeper layers. Starting from the lower back, they will massage up to the shoulder blade area, taking care not to move over the spine.
These techniques break up adhesions and fascial restrictions lying deep in the muscles. With supported hands the therapist will massage over the trapezius and shoulder muscles, perhaps using a trigger point technique. Next, the therapist will massage the neck area with a scooping movement to warm up the muscles before positioning the client on his or her side and apply soft fist technique, starting at the shoulders and moving down the neck. This will be repeated on the other side.
With the client lying face up and carefully draped, they will massage one side of the chest with their hand or palm, pulling the arm out as they do this to stretch the muscles. This will be repeated on the other side of the chest before finishing the treatment on the arms or neck.

This box was 'carved' from a section of a reclaimed white oak beam that I pulled from a barn a couple of years ago. The beam was about 5 – 6 feet long and this box came from the bottom section that was rounded smooth from all the livestock rubbing against it over the course of about fifty years from what I'm told.
The carving was done with a dish carving bit in my router and a collet extension. I filled the voids in the bottom with some clear epoxy.
Finish is BLO, wipe on poly, and orange oil/beeswax polish. The handle is hand-forged (not by me), can't remember where I bought it at the moment.

Michael, great build with a lot of patience carving this out. Is the top hollowed? I like that end shot. I would have added a hinge, but I'm a little crazy that way. What are you going to put into it?

Very nice use of some special wood. How does the top latch to the bottom? Looks like it pivots at one corner, what is the pivot made from.

Thanks for the comments. I'm pretty happy with the photo of the end myself. I used a longer (300 mm) lens for that shot.
Boxguy – Initially the plan was to add hinges and a latch. But at the last minute I remembered I had the forged handle. Seemed to fit the style a bit better. The top is not hollowed – again part of the initial plan but evolved into something else.
OldWrangler – No pivot. The lid lifts off. It's only kept in position by some small pieces of end grain at each corner that match the inside curve of the corners.

Unclaimed Money: $6.1 Million Payout in Missouri Could be Largest in U.S. History
Award is believed to be the biggest unclaimed money payout in U.S. history.
Dec. 14, 2011 -- Someone in Missouri will get very lucky today. That person will be the recipient of the largest unclaimed money award in U.S. history: $6.1 million.
The states estimate that one in every 10 people has unclaimed money waiting for them. Sometimes the amounts can be eye-popping. In dusty warehouses in states all across the country lie records detailing $32 billion worth of unclaimed money, just waiting for its rightful owners.
"Good Morning America" has been reuniting people with their forgotten funds. We've found them $418,598 so far.
And today, the state of Missouri will present the biggest known unclaimed money check in U.S. history.
The $6.1 million check will go to a Kansas City woman who wants to remain anonymous. Years ago, her ancestors invested in an obscure company. The stock got lost as it was passed down through the generations, growing to the sum it's worth today.
Click HERE for the top 10 tips to finding your money now.
There have been other extra-large single unclaimed money awards before. New York state previously held the record for the largest unclaimed money payout when it returned $4 million. Wisconsin has returned $1.5 million.
Missouri has issued other significant payouts. According to state treasurer Clint Zweifel, a man in St. Joseph, Mo., received $100,000, comprising unclaimed money from 15 different securities accounts.
"There is so much money that's out there waiting for Americans to claim," Zweifel told "GMA." "Just to give you an example, in Missouri alone I have more than 600 million dollars on hand waiting for Missourians."
Missouri has already returned $103 million in unclaimed funds to more than 303,000 people in the state since January 2009.
As far as "GMA" can tell, no state has ever presented as big a check as today's payout in Missouri.
Missouri residents may check for unclaimed property at any time at www.ShowMeMoney.com.

— What each year model looked like —
So, what year Banshee do you own? Perhaps you can get an idea by its colors and this chart shows them all. Which year model Banshee looked the best? Was it the classic red and white of the very first year in 1987? Or perhaps the bold Team Yamaha blue colors of 2006? That was the last year you could buy a new Banshee in the USA, but as you can see, it was offered in other countries for a few years after that. But, no matter what year, you can't beat the beauty of Yamaha's classic twin-cylinder, two-stroke screamer. Long live the Banshee!

Foster's says mistakes were made
(CNS): The owner of Foster's Food Fair has said that mistakes were made in handling a situation on Monday where customers found a bug in a plate of food from the store in Countryside Shopping Centre in Savannah. Woody Foster said that the customers bought two plates of food Saturday morning and in one of them, the ackee and codfish, they found a bug.
Stressing that the supermarket chain complies with all environmental health requirements and does everything it can to prevent such occurences, Foster admitted that they erred when the customer returned the plate of food. Apparently, the plate of food was weighed again and they were refunded for the food returned but not the food on that plate that had been eaten, a fact that has been shared widely on social media.
Foster said that he was in contact with the customers to sort the matter out, but admitted that it had not been handled as it should have been.
He also stressed that finding a bug in the food from Foster's was an incredibly rare occurence and had almost never happened in their 35 years of operations. He said their food service area was kept clean and they were inspected regularly by the Department of Environmental Health.
Following Saturday's incident, Foster's called the DEH and an officer conducted an investigation and will report on what he found, Foster said.

Forgotten password
MAYDAY posted a topic in Help MeI have a character linked to my account that I do not know the password. Its name is Gwinnie, or something similar. It is a female dwarf, and has 3 or 4 days of activity. Please help recover my dwarf. MAYDAY
Hello I have been IP Banned. Today I tried to guess a forgotten password to an old char of mine. Im not sure but, reading the forum I would guess that is the reason I am banned. I did ask #help_me how to regain my lost password to an old account, now I remember the name of it. Silly me has been looking in the shop for password reset stone. revi said I should speak to radu on getting my old char back and fee. I had planned on sending a message next time he was online. Currently I have 4 Characters. Plus my old char Winnie, which I had forgot about. I can supply my email by message and characters. I would really like to continue playing. And make use of the other characters I have. MAYDAY
Yes I did receive some good advise on forum and by moderator. I do not make good choices. I did not want to bother radu and thought I could fix it. I am now in worse situation than I would be if I had contacted radu. I regret my actions. I want to fix it.
New registered account name v's Old name change account.
MAYDAY posted a topic in Suggestions - General, Misc.So Ive had this harvesting character for about 2 years. I thought I had chosen a suitable name, one which reflects the type of character I wanted. A nice name which other players would easily identify me and my harvester being the same player. All was going well at first. Then, total strangers would pm me, as if they were long lost friends. 'Hey, havent seen you for ages. You still selling flowers?' 'What? Do you know me? When have I ever sold flowers? After a few more pm's like this, I stated that I was a new char, Ive never spoken to them before, they have me confused with someone else. Through the grapevine, I learned that I had taken on someone's old character name. I had one disturbing pm, wanting sexual favors, pictures, details of some history we had together, which I cant mention and dont care to repeat. Yes, I did try to explain, told them to stop harassing me. Well, you get the picture! Recently, there has been confusion, within admin, in regard to: forum account of the previous person, other characters linked to the previous person, questions on how I came to acquire said char name, and a lot of explaining my situation. My alt has brought nothing but bad luck since I got it, not being able to chat with it, due to previous owners history It is also a useless harvester at level 62 harvesting and never found a stone. I really dont know what my options are, but to just keep playing it. I think something warning new accounts, that the name has been used before and could have unfortunate consequences if you proceed with this name. MAYDAY

FarmVille Sneak Peek: Super Crops coming soon?
Don't be alarmed - these crops are just seemingly beefed up versions of crops we've all been used to for a while now: grapes, watermelon, cotton, and so on. Each comes with a newly designed gold mastery sign, making them stand out from the rest (after all, since the crops are simply bigger versions of their former selves, the same mastery sign - in theory - couldn't be used twice). There's no word yet as to how or when these crops will be available, but we can imagine they might come from experiments in the Greenhouse, or even as Crafting Silo crops, as we're still not entirely sure what Zynga has planned for that upcoming new feature.
Either way, make sure to keep checking back with us, as we'll make sure you're the first to know when these crops are released in the game; that is, once we know first.

What do you think of these Super Crops? Do you like the idea of having a second version of all of the original crops to master all over again, or would you welcome the challenge? Let us know in the comments.

NEW YORK (REUTERS) - Three people have been taken into custody for questioning in New Bedford, Massachusetts, in connection with the Boston Marathon bombings, police said on Friday.
The announcement came as police captured Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, one of two brothers suspected of planting bombs at the Boston Marathon on Monday. His brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was killed overnight.
Two men and a woman are being questioned by the FBI "on the assumption there is an affiliation with suspect number two", Lieutenant Robert Richard of the New Bedford Police said.

Mutiny, Mon!
|Maiden's Dagger Captured
|Pirate Signal Horn (Provided)
DescriptionNow for my favorite part of any mutiny: the killin'! For pirates, it doesn't matter who's supposed to be in charge, only who's in control of the ships. Anchored on the east end of this island is the Maiden's Dagger, Cap'n Garvey's old flagship. He left his most trusted officer in charge: Alicia Cuthbert. Once we take her out, the ship is ours, and so's the sea.
I'll get the men onto the boats. I need you to board the Dagger and blow this horn from on deck - that'll be our signal to board. Yar!
Is that the Maiden's Dagger I see weighing anchor in the distance? Did you have anything to do with that?
So Tony is running the show there now? Good! We need more pirates like him in these waters. He's a real businessman.
<Dizzywig rubs his hands together greedily.>
Speaking of business, I suppose I owe you a cut. Would you be interested in insuring any of your new loot? You never know what can happen in a town like this...

|Shirley Frimpong-Manso
Speaking at an appreciation event for the MultiChoice Africa Magic Viewer's Choice Awards (AMVCA), the chief executive of Sparrow Productions noted that everybody – from the Kumawood to the English movies industry in Ghana – was trying hard to keep the industry alive.
"Sometimes I don't understand why we are actually beating around the bush. Everybody is trying. People are using their own monies to actually keep this industry alive. Otherwise, we will not have anything at all.
"So we need to support and encourage instead of criticizing all the time. For me I think Kumawood is a great initiative. They are not anything that they don't want to be and so I think encouraging us is even better," the producer of the award-winning 'Scorned' movie stated.
Shirley directed the 'Contract' movie which swept over four awards at the just-ended AMVCA in Nigeria. The movie happens to be the first self-produced movie by actress Yvonne Okoro.
She added that movie producers from Ghana would be making an appearance at the Oscar Academy Awards if they had a pinch of resources available to Hollywood.
"For us, we think that if we get even one per cent of what Hollywood uses to do what they do, we can be at the Oscars every year. I will like to take this opportunity to acknowledge my fellow film producers."
The Contract movie won Best Movie 2013, Best Movie Director, Best Writing (Drama) and Best Video Editing at the AMVCA, placing Ghana high in the African movie fraternity.

Recent gains in the markets have changed the valuation picture on a lot of stocks, but Jefferies managing director Art Hogan is constantly on the lookout for bargains, and he told CNBC about some stocks that are still steals.
"It's one of the things that doesn't get looked at a lot; it's an industrial name; people look at the cycle and say it's too early to get into the industrials, (but) this is one of the leaders, and I think you can buy it now."
"If you want to use less power and have more applications on whatever your device happens to be, OEMs are going to them. They're outsourcing to Broadcom, and they're eating everybody's lunch, especially in portabilty and cellular."
Cameron International
Charles River Laboratories:
"Biotech, especially pharma, outsourcing most of the R&D work that they're doing, and Charles River's been the leader in that; the last couple of quarters, they've turned the corner here."
Hornbeck Offshore:
"They actually go out to the deep water Gulf and out to Brazil, where, as energy prices get higher and higher, we go deeper and deeper into the Gulf, drilling becomes more profitable, and these guys supply everything that goes out there."
Scientific Games
Ultra Petroleum:
"If you look at natural gas, which hasn't gotten as much conversation as oil, Ultra Petro is a play right there."

A private party is the registered owner of a used car who personally owns the car you may be interested in buying. The process is different from buying a used car from a car dealer. To protect yourself and make sure all goes smoothly, consider the following:
1. Check the vehicle's history
The National Motor Vehicle and Title Information System and also sites like carfax.com can tell you if the vehicle has been in an accident. Have the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) ready. The VIN is visible on the dash at the driver's side windshield and on the car's proof of registration.
2. Inspect the vehicle thoroughly
Remember, you are solely responsible for checking out the car. Once you give the seller money, there is no warranty and your recourse is limited. If the seller is reluctant to allow you to have a mechanic of your choice do a thorough inspection, they may have something to hide. Click for helpful details about inspecting a used car.
3. Ask the seller to provide the following documents:
a) "Bill of Sale" signed by the seller and you with these details
- Date of sale
- Purchase price
- Seller and buyer's full names and addresses
- Vehicle year, make, model, identification number and mileage
- Acknowledgement of any liens on the vehicle
b) The "pink slip" or title
Actually, it's not pink anymore. This is the certificate of ownership, and the seller must provide it. If they don't have it, they can request a duplicate from the DMV for a fee. If the vehicle is or was financed, line two of the title will also require a releasing signature. If the vehicle is not being purchased from the owner whose name appears on the title, you will need a bill of sale from each in–between buyer. Signatures may need to be notarized. Watch this video for details on proper endorsement of the title.
c) Current registration and smog certification
4. File required forms with the DMV and pay fees due
As the buyer, you will need to file the following documents within ten days to ensure your purchase is properly recorded and avoid DMV penalties.
- Properly endorsed title, also known as a "pink slip". Watch this video for details on proper endorsement to avoid delay.
- File an online Notice of Transfer within ten days of purchase. Click here to file.
- Determine if a Smog Certificate or transfer fee is required.
It may not be required if the vehicle is less than four years old. Other conditions apply. Click for details.

Hello and welcome to blog #70! It's a glorious Sunday and I've just gotten home from being in Sydney for the last few days. Gotta love that city! It is Australia's edgiest and paciest city – I think I can say that without fear of too much heated debate. Sydney is a bit of a siren herself, don't you think? It is a city that just demands to be looked at in awe. It demands attention and mostly, we're happy to give it.
Do they fit? At this national conference I've been attending, and in my own observations in walking around the Emerald City, I've been 'trying on' those categories — you know, applying them to real live breathing human women and seeing if they 'fit' or not. And you know what I've discovered? Those categories really work! You can see people who are dressed as Sandwiches or Sirens, Suits or Subversives… And you can also see those women who have combined two categories — Suited Sirens or Subversive Sandwiches.
And you know what else I discovered? Those categories generate a lot of discussion — every single woman I have mentioned them to wants to know more. They say "what's a Sandwich? And how do you know I am one?". I was also asked "how am I a Suit? How am I dressing that makes me one?". And my favourite was "how could I be more like a Siren?". Women get those categories, and they seem to like them. Who'd've thunk it, from all that silliness?
For today, let's talk about where style really comes from. Clue: not from the mall. But I don't want to give away the ending straight away, so please read on!
"When you don't shop, you have better style". Ok, that's an attention grabbing statement, right? I love it! And I can say all that because I didn't write it. Sarah Wilson did. Sarah is a journalist and writes her own blog as well as being published in an actual print publication – the Sunday Life supplement of the Sun-Herald newspaper. Sarah wrote a piece today on "I don't buy style". Well, pack my bags and mount my horse, if that doesn't get me reading this article in double quick time! I sped through her article, then re-read it to make sure I'd caught the heart of what she'd said.
Here are my favourite bits (called "excerpts" in the literary world, I believe) from Sarah's article:
- "when you don't shop, you have better style"…. Ms Wilson goes on to 'splain why this is true in her case. She found herself treasure hunting through her wardrobe and discovering all manner of gems that she combined in new and jaunty ways (the Thai silk matinee jacket teamed with the animal print cami was my favourite of those she described – go figure). Could it really be true that style isn't found in the mall? Whoa.
- "the momentum to shop builds. And then… I get a grip. Do I really need to trek to the mall?" Indeed. And a great example of how a well-placed rhetorical question can actually be useful. I love how Ms Wilson describes the momentum to shop — how the pull of shopping yanks at our sense of adventure, our sense of self and our sense of escape. It distorts and deranges (to borrow heavily from the lyrics of Annie Lennox) and the only way out is to WAKE UP and get that grip that Ms Wilson suggests. She suggests we ask ourselves if we really need to trek to the mall? Who but the most unconscious of individuals (or those in desperate need of toilet paper and corn flakes) would say YES to that question? The underlying question seems to be: What if what lies within the walls of the mall is not the answer we're really seeking? Oooh, that's deep. It's amazing that something considered so superficial (I'm talking about shopping) has the ability to plumb such depths, isn't it? Oh, and if you're wondering, I'm guessing the answer is behind door #2 and is: "no, the answer isn't at the mall", aren't you?
- "how limiting it is to constantly reach for external solutions… buying something new and "fashionable" (her quotes, yesiree) is all about reaching for an external style salve at the expense of playing freely with your own identity". Oh, my. Now if that doesn't echo and build on a point of view I've been playing with on this-a-here-y blog over the last few months, I'll walk to the Gulf in those animal print wedges that make me about 6 foot 2 from blog #5. I love the link to identity that Ms Wilson sneaks into that sentence. It's like she knows how much depth there is to this topic (shopping isn't really just shopping), but she doesn't want to scare us. It's Sunday, after all. There's football to be watched and naps to be taken. I love how accessible she makes it — "playing freely with your own identity"… like anyone can do it. We can all play, right? If not the French horn, then at least with the contents of our own wardrobes. And once we start playing at that level, we get to glimpse our identity through a new lens. Who knows what we might discover?
I love finding other people who's thinking matches my own. Like someone who agrees that Woody Allen's movies are not all the same. Or I really can continue to eat chocolate whenever I feel like it after turning 4o. And that shopping is not the answer. It's not even the question.
Thank you Sarah Wilson – I'm with you on your experiential journey to make life more meaningful, happier, sweeter. And I like your style. And I like it even more because it didn't come from the mall. Right?

About Egg Freezing for Donation to One or More Couples
Egg (oocyte) donation is used in in-vitro fertilization (ivf) to allow infertile women with inadequate ovarian function to have children. These women (recipients) who are to receive the donated eggs may not have enough of their own eggs to conceive due to advanced age, prior ovarian surgery or removal, premature menopause, or for genetic reasons. If you, the egg donor, donate your eggs, they will be frozen until one or more patients choose the eggs to be fertilized with the sperm of the recipient's partner (or donor sperm); the fertilized eggs (embryos) will then be transferred to the uterus of the recipient so that she may become pregnant. Fertilized eggs that are not transferred to the recipient might be frozen for later use by the recipient. Since the vast majority of such women are otherwise quite healthy and physically capable of bearing a child, egg donation provides them with a realistic opportunity of going from infertility to parenthood. The first successful reported cases of egg donation in humans occurred in the 1980's, some 100 years after the first successful reported cases of sperm donation.
More recently, the science of egg freezing (cryopreservation) has advanced to where it is now feasible to freeze eggs for use in the future. In essence, egg banks are now coming of age. A huge breakthrough in this field took place in October 2012, when the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), declared that egg freezing should no longer be considered experimental. This position statement has opened the doors for egg freezing to be included into patient care and the option has opened many possibilities for patients. The major advantage of this approach for egg donors is there is no wait time to be selected or matched with an intended parent and the schedule will be based on the donor's availability and timing and not the intended parents'.
The eggs are harvested and will be frozen and kept safely in a state of "suspended animation" until they are thawed for subsequent use. Survival rates of the thawed eggs are anticipated to be in excess of 90%. It is still too early to give definitive pregnancy rates, but we anticipate these will approach 50% per cycle. The safety of the egg freezing method is validated by research showing the integrity of the internal structure of the eggs after freezing and thawing.
To be accepted as an egg donor at an assisted reproductive technology (art) practice, you are required to undergo an extensive screening process that includes a detailed medical and gynecological history, a physical examination, psychological counseling, genetic counseling, and blood tests to assess your ovarian function and to determine if you carry certain genetic traits and/or infectious diseases. Only if the results of all of the screening tests are acceptable will you be considered as a potential egg donor.
A detailed description of the ivf process, the medications used, the risks and side effects of the medications, and the risks of the procedure involved in retrieving eggs from your ovaries is described in the "consent to donate oocytes anonymously," which will be provided at the time you commence treatment for egg donation.

Fatigue and overworking are very common if you are determined to earn as much as you can even though it means that you have to sacrifice your sleep and rest. You might be aware of what it feels like to be tired, exhausted, and fatigued from working way too much with little to no rest.
Your productivity and performance nosedive, your energy levels drop, and you feel less enthusiastic about your life overall, not to mention that your reaction times are also affected by the lack of sleep. While overworking can take a toll on your overall health if you are an office worker, being fatigued and sleep deprived has other implications if you are a taxi cab driver.
Not only do taxi cab drivers put their own wellbeing and life on the line when they overwork and sacrifice sleep, but they also pose danger to their passengers in the taxi cab as well as other motorists and their passengers, pedestrians, and others.
"This might sound surprising, but there are actually no legal restrictions when it comes to how many hours a taxi driver is allowed to work in a day or week," says our Pembroke Pines taxi cab accident attorney from the Law Offices of Bradley Hartman.
Why overworked and fatigued taxi cab drivers are dangerous
Unfortunately, stories of taxi cab drivers working for 12 to 18 hours straight are not unheard of in Pembroke Pines and elsewhere in Florida, and some even go as far as working 24 hours straight in a single shift. Fatigue, overworking and lack of sleep greatly impact our ability to concentrate, result in slower reaction times, and an increased risk of distracted driving. Not to mention that fatigued and sleep-deprived drivers are more likely to engage in reckless and aggressive driving behaviors, as lack of sleep leads to irritability and recklessness.
"So yeah, overworked taxi cab drivers are a huge problem in Florida, especially in the summer when many tourists visit the Sunshine State to party all night long and hit the beach first thing in the morning," says our taxi cab accident attorney in Pembroke Pines. Taxi cab drivers benefit from the influx of tourists in Florida during the summer months, which explains their temptation to overwork for 24 hours straight.
And while overworking itself is not illegal under Florida law since there are no regulations as to how many hours in a day or week a taxi cab driver is allowed to drive, distracted driving, reckless driving, and drowsy driving can lead to traffic violations, and, as a result, injuries and fatalities.
How to prove that a taxi cab driver was fatigued and/or overworked?
If you believe that the at-fault taxi cab driver was fatigued or overworked and that this was a primary or contributory cause of the collision, you will have to prove it. While your observations at the scene of the car accident are useful, the jury will rely on the witness statements and the police report.
Also, a Pembroke Pines taxi cab attorney can help you prove that the driver was fatigued by subpoenaing records from the driver's taxi company. Usually, taxi companies in Florida maintain records that show how many hours their drivers work in a day. But here is the deal: it also matters how many hours the taxi driver was working the day and week prior to the accident, as fatigue and exhaustion can build up and accumulate over time.

Jason Segel, on the other hand, seems to have had the comedy thing down pat since the beginning, occasional excursions into CSI land notwithstanding. First making his mark as the rock-loving teen Nick Andopolis in Paul Feig and Judd Apatow's Freaks and Geeks, Segel was seemingly always destined for the witty greatness that he has achieved in recent years.
These days, both are key players in that superhero group of Hollywood comedy that one might call the Apatow League. And while their new film I Love You, Man is not actually an Apatow piece, it sure does feel like one at times.
As it happens, Rudd and Segel are playing to the audience's preconceived notions of who they are. The former is the straight man in a sense here, a real-estate broker looking for man love in all the wrong places. And Segel is the more obviously comedic member of the duo, the kind of guy who's willing to take on Lou Ferrigno in a fit of impotent rage -- and lose badly to the former Hulk.
When we first meet Rudd's Peter Klaven, he's proposing to his beautiful girlfriend Zooey (Rashida Jones, also a Freaks and Geeks alumnus, if for just one episode). But later that night it dawns on the two that while Zooey is phoning all of her friends to announce the big news, Peter really has no guy friends to call his own. The matter becomes more serious a few days later when, during a girl's night gabfest, Zooey's friends (among them Jaime Pressly's Denise and a precious Sarah Burns' Hailey) decide that it's creepy that Peter doesn't even have someone he can ask to be his best man (aside from his mom!). This point is driven home when Peter suddenly bursts into the room with a tray of root-beer floats he's made for the group. He needs some bromance, it is decided, and he needs it bad.
He turns to his brother Robbie, played by an underused Andy Samberg, for help. Robbie is gay and has a talent for meeting men, but his man-date setups for Peter invariably seem to end in either awkward, one-sided man-kissing or macho-esque, testosterone-lacking, Peter Brady-voiced acts of male bonding. Equally disastrous is the attempt to loop Rudd's character in with Denise's husband, played to dickhead perfection by Jon Favreau.
But then Peter happens to meet Segel's Sydney Fife and it's love at first sight. Sydney is the Oscar to Peter's Felix in this latter-day Odd Couple. He's got a man cave (a glorified garage) with all the amenities: multiple TVs, guitars and drums, beer, bongs, and -- of course -- a jerk-off station. Also, no women allowed. Peter has met his match.
What follows is a funny twist on the romantic comedy in that all the tropes of that genre fit neatly into this reversal: Peter and Sydney meet, they find true bromance, they break up, but can they get back together in time for the closing credits? What do you think?
In fact if there's a complaint to be made about the mostly appealing I Love You, Man, it's that it feels a bit too market-tested at times. One can practically picture the conversations that took place in the backrooms of DreamWorks: "It's the latest fad for the Twitter generation… It's called 'bromance.' Can we get Will Ferrell?"
That's a minor grievance, though. What the film boils down to is the interplay between the two leads. Rudd hits new heights as a comedic lead here rather than just being relegated to second-banana status. His Peter is a tongue-tied wonder, a guy far more comfortable making summer salads than cracking a beer with a bud. Overcompensating constantly for his perceived failings in this regard, Peter hilariously and involuntarily establishes a strange cool-guy dialect when around Sydney that could add a few new nonsense words to the lexicon if the film hits big enough. Segel's character meanwhile comes across as Nick Andopolis all grown up -- or as grown up as he'll ever be, rocking out to Rush and trolling high-end open houses for cougars and free food.
The movie is like one of those open-house buffets -- tasty but ultimately not as filling as you might like. But that doesn't keep you from enjoying it while it lasts.

Windows 9 could be announced on September 30
Microsoft is planning to hold an event next month to officially announce the successor to Windows 8 so far codenamed "Windows Threshold". The most likely date is the 30th which is At least close to the company said recently heard by sources The Verge .
Windows Threshold has been subject to increasingly rumors for a number of reasons. The main one is the expectation that the new version hit where Windows 8 apparently failed.The interface that attempts to meet touchscreens and the traditional combination of keyboard and mouse, for example, even today is not well accepted, even with the 8.1 update has mitigated the most criticized points.
Not least, the rumors already point to the final return of the Start menu and the elimination of the Charms Bar on the new version. Additional features are also expected, as the inclusion of virtual desktops and integration with, even in later stage Cortana assistant.
The name of the new system also follows unknown, but it is quite likely that Microsoft keep the numbering and baptize simply "Windows 9". Can also occur in the company choose a totally different name to signal a new phase and, if necessary, avoid links to Windows 8.
The sources heard by The Verge also raised the possibility of a previous version for developers (Windows Threshold Tech Preview) is released on the same date of the announcement or a few days later.
A less likely, but as long awaited announcement is the revelation of the platform that promises to combine the Windows RT and Windows Phone.
Microsoft maintains the mystery, of course, but as the company is now trying to not be so lethargic to changes in direction of the market, gives even wait for news. If not for September 30, for an early date.

One Workshop Ticket
more info»
Or call: 954-400-0595
Why should you attend this workshop?
The Board of Building Regulations and Standards (BBRS) has approved continuing education requirements for licensed construction supervisors in the state of Massachusetts. Licensees who renew a license or are issued a first-time license on or after July 1, 2011 shall be expected to fully comply with education requirements following a full two-year cycle. A qualifying Construction Supervisor licensee must provide proof of completion of required hours in the appropriate category in which the licensee is licensed (Restricted, Unrestricted or Specialty).
What if my license has expired? Is there a grace period to renew my CSL?
If a contractor's license has expired or will expire before an individual completes their Continuing Education (CE) hours, they have 1 year to fulfill the CE hours (without having to retake the test), but can't operate with a license until those CE requirements are met. If you have specific questions about your renewal period, please contact the Mass Board of Building Regulations and Standards (BBRS) at: (617) 727-3200
How many hours of Continuing Education do I need as a Massachusetts Construction Supervisor? Different licenses require different amounts of Continuing Education:
Does this seminar package fulfill my 12-Hour Continuing Education requirement for unrestricted license holders or the 10-Hour requirement for restricted license holders?
Yes! You will receive a certificate of completion for your continuing education course package that you can send in with your license renewal.
What classes do you offer for your MA Construction Supervisor License (CSL) Continuing Education Package? The 12-Hour Package consists of six, 2-hour sessions over two (2) days that fulfill the necessary requirements for Code Review, Energy, Building Practices, Safety Practices, Lead Safety and an Elective (please see the syllabus for more details on each individual session):
I. Employee Relationships in Building/Remodeling Firms
This two-hour session addresses human resources considerations for building/remodeling firms. It will cover the employee relationship and important considerations when dealing with workers. The overview explains the importance of each of the considerations, procedures, and policies, and the downside—and risks—of not adequately addressing each. This will include the standard, expected components such as written policies, safety training, and job reviews. It will also cover the more complex and equally vital legal requirements, bookkeeping procedures, as well as the importance of defined job roles and accurate "time cards." The session also addresses workers comp insurance requirements, along with an explanation of employee roles, and when it is acceptable (and when not) to treat workers as independent contractors.
Topics To Be Covered Include:
II. Workplace Safety: Ladders, Nail Guns, and Hand Tools
This workplace safety session focuses on the use of basic tools that many tradesmen handle on a daily basis. The training goal is two fold:
The session begins with a detailed look at ladders. Types, ratings, material, usage, inspections and training are discussed in detail. A ladder inspection form is provided to guide students to employ a JOB SITE SAFETY PROCEDURES MANUAL for their field use.
The second half of this session deals with commonly-used hand tools, touching upon several categories ranging from non-powered, powered, pneumatic (nail guns), powder actuated and jacks. This section introduces the attendee to a wide range of topics dealing with hazard recognition, PPE requirements, basic safety tips and training.
Topics To Be Covered Include:
III. Lead-Safe Work Practices on the Construction Job Site
This two-hour session is designed to give builders, remodelers, painters, and other construction contractors a vital overview of lead and safe procedures to have in place when working in the presence of this poisonous material.
Topics To Be Covered Include:
I. Project Management for Residential Construction and Remodeling
This two-hour session is designed to give builders and remodelers a vital, fundamental overview of project management with a focus on the two most important outcomes: profitability for the contractor and satisfaction by the customer. We will stress the crucial importance of those two concepts to a successful, sustainable business, and will walk through the key operations one must employ to achieve this success. From proper planning to having systems in place to manage the fixed and anticipated details, a smoothly-run, carefully planned project is a profitable one, and also should deliver on the expectations of the client. The course will give a summary of essential project management components, including preparation and estimating, production, administration, and client hand-off.
Topics To Be Covered Include:
II. Massachusetts Residential Code Review for CSLs
Staying up to date, navigating, and understanding the code is of paramount importance to Construction Supervisor License holders. The 8th Edition is now the code of record in Massachusetts. Did you know it is made up of the 2009 International Residential Code and separate MA amendments? And what are the reference codes to be aware of? This two-hour session provides an overview of the current code format and ways to navigate the component pieces, and goes into the "Building Planning" sections of the 8th edition (Chapter 3), with an introduction to key code standards for various home elements, applicable to both new construction and remodeling projects.
Topics To Be Covered Include:
III. Weatherizing Your Kitchen and Bathroom Projects
This session will identify and explore the areas of a typical kitchen or bath project that today"s remodelers and builders must take into consideration regarding energy preservation/conservation, from design considerations to insulation and ducting. Material selections and installation practices are discussed, taking into account the various code regulations that might alter how you approach your project.
Topics To Be Covered Include:
|3-5 days after course completion
|Parking Available
50 Rosebrook Place, Wareham, MA 02571
MO Nov 23, TU Nov 24 from 8:00am to 3:00pm
