Christophe Maé (his real name is Christophe Martichon) is a French singer. His trade marks are the hat, the guitar, the jumping and his whole lovely essence.
He started with violin at the age of six and when he was 16 he began to play harmonica and guitar which are his main instruments in his albums. He had a chronic and very hard illness due to that he had to lay on the bed several months but that was the way he found Stevie Wonder and his future career was clear.
Now there is no sign of his passed illness: he keeps on dancing and jumping. In 2003 his very first album "Sa danse donne" ("His/Hers dance gives"). During years 2005 to 2007 he was part of very popular comedy musical "Le Roi Soleil" ("The Sun King" (a.k.a. Louis XIV who lived in Versailles near Paris)). Maé has also won many francophonic awards.
The second album of Maé called "Mon paradis" ("My paradise") released in 2007 and live version "Comme à la maison" ("Like at home") in 2008. And this year in March 22 published the latest album "On trace la route" ("We trace out the route").
From 2008 he has participated in Les Enfoirés a major groupe of francophonic artists. In Les Enfoirés are also following artist that I have already intoduced in this blog: Natasha St-Pier, Garou, Grégoire and Pascal Obispo and many others. And I will tell you more at least about Alizée later.
Christophe Maé performed in a video "Désolé" ("sorry")(lyrics) in a project "Hope for Haiti" ("Espoir pour Haiti").
And today at 8pm Christophe Maé is performing in Troyes at Le Cube so this day is dedicated to Maé and I hope everything goes well.

From Le Roi Soleil: A qui la faute ("Who to blame"),Ca marche ("It's okay"), Et vice Versailles ("And bad-mannered Versailles" or maybe a cortoition of "vice versa"..), The singers of Le Roi Soleil (in French) (Now and then in the video you can see Garou who interviews the singers in the end and thanks them), Contre Ceux D'en Haut ("Against those in high places")(Here Christophe is not but Merwan Rim and Vistoria Petrosillo do), Un geste de vous ("One gesture of you"),On TNT show, Medley On Téléthon, Christophe Maé looses his mind,
This was his first track that caught me and I just can't stop to listen to it and his unic voice... The best music video is "Dingue dingue dingue" it's just lovely.
Du fond de ma rue
Une silhouette comme un bruit aigu
Se rapproche à hauteur de mes yeux nus
La silhouette,c'est une fille
Jour de fête nationale
Ronflante comme une escadrille
Qui domine mon morale
Je la regarde, me sourire
Je baisse la garde et les yeux pour me dire
*Belle demoiselle
Qui se presse dans l'allée
Sa démarche lui donne des ailes
Mais j'ose pas m'emballer
Si jamais je m'approche d'elle,
Aucun doute,elle
Comme une hirondelle *
Du milieu de ma rue
La silhouette comme un nuage
S'éloigne sans un bruit
Alors c'est grave
Ca se bouscule dans ma tête
Dopé à l'effet de plaire
C'est pas vraiment la fête
Pourtant j'ai l'air de lui plaire
Qu'ai-je fait au bon dieu
Pour être fidèle à cet aveu
*Belle demoiselle.. *
Inaccessible comme une hirondelle
Je calcule dans ma tête
Dopé à l'effet de plaire
C'est quand même la fête
Le fantasme qui peut distraire
Je n'suis pas parfaitpas parfait
Merci mon dieu
Mais je tire un trait sur cet aveu
*Belle demoiselle... *
In the end of my road
A silhouette like a high voice
Approaches at height of my bare eyes
The silhouette, it's a girl
The national festival day
Whirring like a flotilla
That dominates my morale
I look at her, she smiles at me
I lower my arms and the eyes say to me
*Beautiful miss
Walking down the avenue
Her gait gives her wings
If I have courage to approach her
No doubt that, she
Flies away
Like a swallow*
In the middle of my road
A silhouette like a cloud
Drawing away with no noise
It's serious then
It makes my head dizzy
I'm high because of effect of to please
Really it's no festival
Though I want to please her
What have I done my God
For to be faithful for this confession
*Beautiful miss...
Inaccessible like a swallow
I count in my head
I'm high because of effect of to please
All the same it's a festival
An illusion can distract
I'm not perfect - not perfect
Thank you my God
But I draw a line over this confession
*Beautiful miss... *

The Hæstingas were an important tribal group referred to in an 8th cent. Northumbrian chronicle as the gens Hestingorum which seems to have kept a separate identity as late as the early 11th cent. ["Cambridge Dictionary of English Place-Names"]
Place a glass of liquor on the table, put a hat over it, and say, "I will engage to drink every drop of that liquor, and yet I'll not touch the hat." You then get under the table; and after giving three knocks, you make a noise with your mouth, as if you were swallowing the liquor. Then, getting from under the table, say "Now, gentlemen, be pleased to look." Some one, eager to see if you have drunk the liquor, will raise the hat; when you instantly take the glass and swallow the contents, saying, "Gentlemen I have fulfilled my promise: you are all witnesses that I did not touch the hat." ["Wit and Wisdom," London, 1860]

Would You Walk a Mile for a Camel Meatball?
In the United States, these are still considered exotic meats, but it would seem that in Australia, kangaroo meat is gaining in popularity. In fact, I was able to find an online kangaroo cookbook on an Australian website.
As for camel, that was a bit harder but I found some recipes online.
After some thought (and checking with Facebook friends), we decided not to buy these items. But we did purchase some chicken sausage in the same store.
I thought back to my college days, when I was a cultural anthropology major, and remembered just how culturally influenced our eating habits are.
While we in the United States may reject camel and kangaroo, many of us love fried fish. The small village where we were vacationing has a very popular fried fish restaurant, in fact. And it sells other items, such as lobster rolls.
Yet, there are cultures who will not eat fish, and cultures who will not eat lobster. I have friends who follow a vegan lifestyle for various reasons. And, there are groups of people who follow extensive rules, religious or otherwise, concerning which foods can be eaten, and which can not be.
Why do we eat certain foods and not others? And, why have certain customs grown up around certain foods?
Would you have bought the camel or kangaroo meat? Would you have accepted that challenge?
Speaking of challenges - today starts the Ultra Blog Challenge, a brand new challenge hosted by a woman who had previously helped with the Ultimate Blog Challenge. She's experienced, and I look forward to participating. Come join us - it will be fun, it will be exciting, and you will get a lot out of it. Discipline. Inspiration. And fellowship. What do you have to lose? Nothing. What do you have to gain?
Join the Challenge, and see.

Interesting questions. I'm guessing it has a lot to do with availability. Having said that, for many Indians eating beef is taboo, although we have an abundance of cows.ReplyDeleteReplies
I think there are a lot of factors in cultural tattoos about food. I remember a story written by a man who lived, during his childhood, with an African tribe. The tribe members ate insects but were totally grossed out by raisins in some raisin bread they were offered by his parents It is a fascinating topic.Delete
I think I would like to try camel or kangaroo. I've had yak in Nepal, and I've had water buffalo and goat. When I travel I enjoy trying the foods in other countries. I like to immerse myself into the whole culture.ReplyDelete
I doubt I would try either...I am a very finicky eater...for example, the eat only 4 varieties of vegetables. I will not eat red meat. No burgers, no fries. Hate scrambled eggs, will only eat them over easy. See what I mean? :)ReplyDelete
I dislike the idea of eating an animal that walks around on four legs. Full Stop. However, I used to do it, surrounded by an Australian culture of lamb and mutton eaters. One thing I like: turkey sausages.ReplyDeleteReplies
Chicken sausages are becoming a lot more popular in our country. My spouse and I eat them instead of pork sausages mainly because of the caloric difference (Weight Watchers). But, I think many of us would be healthier if we cut way down on red meat consumption. I have two friends in their 60's who have been vegans for most of their lives, and are quite healthy.Delete

Reel Rock Honour Award
Today's global animation industry is estimated at more than US$200 billion and Jamaica has begun to capitalise on this lucrative market. Reel Rock GSW Animation is one of the first end-to-end animation production companies gaining global recognition in that industry since they began operations in Kingston in February 2012, making the company a key player on the international scene.
Using cutting-edge software technology such as the Toon Boom Harmony Platform for 2D and Maya for 3D animation, plus a highly skilled and trained staff of illustrators and animators, Reel Rock offers its clients the full spectrum of animation services - from character, background and other illustrations to storyboarding, animation, digital paint, compositing and post-production work.
Utilising Jamaica's rich cultural history, they have a rigorous programme of training upgrades for their staff that are chosen from the country's top art and design programmes. Reel Rock is also developing a library of smart, funny and engaging programming for all audiences that can take advantage of Jamaica's unique cultural diversity.
Recognising that the growing animation industry has the potential to provide employment for thousands, Reel Rock is putting a strong focus on community development through the creation of employment, in line with Jamaica's plans to increase opportunities for local and regional animators to get a foothold in the industry.
Founding directors Lorna Green, Wayne Sinclair and Fayval Williams have more than 75 years of combined experience in the areas of information technology, music and film production and finance. This has resulted in a management philosophy that listens, pays attention, and always puts the needs of the client first.
"The possibilities are endless in the animation industry. It holds a lot of promise for that segment of the society that really needs some hope and promise right now - which are younger people who have creative talents but didn't necessarily know or feel that there was a place for them to professionalise their creative talents," said Sinclair.
For its outstanding contribution to Science and Technology in 2014, The Gleaner Company proudly presents The Gleaner Honour Award to Reel Rock GSW Animation.
JULIAN ROBINSON - State Minister in the Ministry of Science, Technology, Energy and Mining
Jamaica's animation industry has been identified as one of the few new areas from which the local economy can derive significant benefits. Among the few highly skilled outfits already operating in this fledgling industry is Reel Rock GSW Animation.
According to Julian Robinson, the state minister in the Ministry of Science, Technology, Energy and Mining, "GSW, while not the first animation company, has certainly lifted the profile of animation in Jamaica by virtue of the clients it has acquired, its professionalism and the number of persons employed."
In highlighting the significant progress already made by Jamaica's developing animation industry, Minister Robinson said: "It has helped in establishing Jamaica on the map as a location for the outsourcing of animation content which will ultimately assist us in attracting more international clients."
Importantly, the state minister pointed out that "GSW has also shaped the training and educational component of the animation sector by working closely with CARIMAC [Caribbean Institute of Media and Communications] at UWI [University of the West Indies] and the HEART Trust in influencing their curricula development."
Minister Robinson added: "They have also set standards for themselves which will become industry standards."
INGRID RILEY - executive director, Connectimas
Jamaica's animation industry is still in the developmental stages, but already it is showing potential of becoming a viable option that has the ability to generate tremendous returns for the economy, as a consequence of the skills and competence of outfits like Reel Rock GSW Animation.
Reel Rock GSW Animation is among a small number of studios on the island that is already producing work of international quality, having gained acknowledgement from a number of international players in the global animation industry.
"Reel Rock GSW Animation is an example of what a Jamaican company can do internationally by linking with overseas partners," said techpreneur Ingrid Riley, executive director of Connectimas.
While they are not the pioneers in the fledgling animation industry, Reel Rock has demonstrated that it has what it takes to be a major player.
"There are others who have come before and have paved the way and are actually pioneers in the animation industry, but GSW Animation has made it sexier because they brought together people who are also themselves pioneers in different ways in other industries and brought together a lot more young animators under one roof," said Riley.
PROFESSOR HOPETON DUNN - director, Caribbean Institute of Media and Communications (CARIMAC)
Jamaica's animation sector is rapidly developing and one of the studios at the forefront is Reel Rock GSW Animation.
The quality of the productions done by the animation outfit is well recognised, both locally and internationally. Importantly too are the opportunities created for young animators by the company through training and employment.
"The local animation company GSW has played a leading role in seeking to establish a viable animation sub-sector in Jamaica," said Professor Hopeton Dunn, director of the Caribbean Institute of Media and Communications (CARIMAC) at the University of the West Indies, Mona campus.
"CARIMAC has had a close association with GSW in this regard, as a large number of our animation students have found employment and strong mentorship at the company."
In this regard, Professor Dunn said Reel Rock's "impact has been significant at multiple levels, including employment of young animation graduates, forging beneficial linkages with international content providers and with software producers, as well as being a leading local producer of cartoon animation output."
He added, "GSW and its executive leadership are to be commended for their leading role in animation development in Jamaica in the short time since the establishment of the company."
* Reel Rock is meticulous in their attention to detail. Its deep connections with the local film and music industry allow the company to strike the best deals with Jamaica's wealth of talent for clients seeking musical composition and production services.
* To date Reel Rock has co-produced 52 episodes of The Disney Channel and Nickelodeon cartoon series, Lucky Fred, which is distributed to more than 160 territories worldwide, and aired on The Disney Channel and Nickelodeon in Europe, Asia, South America and Australia. Reel Rock is part of a five-country partnership for the project along with Italy, Spain, Ireland and Luxembourg.
* Reel Rock has been contracted to animate Disney Junior France kids show Quiz Time for Studio Red Frog in France.
* Reel Rock clients include the Caribbean Examination Council, University of the West Indies, Jamaica Stock Exchange, and the International Organisation for Migration.

Dancing with the Stars pro Kym Johnson has teamed up with OK! to update you every week as she attempts to turn her partner Donny Osmond into a ballroom champion!
Hi, everyone! Welcome to week 12 of my OK! Dancing with the Stars blog!
Last night, Donny and I performed as part of the final five. I was so pleased about our two dances.
I feel our first dance of the night, the Viennese waltz, was his very best performance of the season. My choreography was about a man and a woman and the love story between them and I think we totally pulled off the fantasy.
We got a score of 26. I must admit I thought we'd get a higher score. I don't really understand but that's okay. That's the judges' opinion and we really enjoyed doing it. Most importantly, in the dance, Donny conquered the major issue he's been working on all season — his posture. He was able to keep his shoulders really straight as he glided me along the floor. I think he showed such a major improvement there! The audience got up on their feet after our performance. I believe they really thought the dance was beautiful and showed emotion.
Our second dance, the '80s style Paso Doble, we just loved. I decided we had to have a wind machine in the dance because that's so typically '80s — remember the wind machines in all those old videos that blew the singers' hair back? I thought it had a great effect in our dance and people will remember it was an entertaining routine. Donny really went there and got into an Adam Ant style character. He wasn't afraid of it at all. We got a 24 — again, I would have liked it to be higher, but Donny and I always keep a good attitude about that. We know the competition is really tough now, because only the very best dancers are left. Our cumulative scores for the two dances tied us with Aaron and Karina for last place.
As far as tonight's elimination show, I'm incredibly nervous. We could be going home tonight. It's a definite possibility. There's not much you can do but wait and see on Tuesdays. It's going to be nerve wracking tonight!
I was relieved this week that Donny had recovered from the flu, which made our rehearsals easier. I've been so lucky to stay healthy this season when some of the other competitors got ill as well. I think it's my tough Aussie breeding — ha, ha! I'm so happy Donny was feeling better, and it showed in that we had a really fun week preparing the two dances. As you saw on the show, Donny got emotional before our rehearsals for the Viennese waltz, describing how tough it had been for him juggling everything.
I don't think people realize how much Donny is doing. He's got his show in Las Vegas and he's not with his family at the moment — they're in Utah and he's not able to go there. It was taking a bit of a toll on him. But now, he can see the end in sight—and he still wants to win this really bad. Donny was feeling much better and his spirits were high this week.
The most fun thing I did on my (very slim) down time last week was get hair extensions put in on Wednesday. I stayed in L.A. so I could get the process done while Donny went to Las Vegas to do his show. Because I'm going to Broadway to do the show "Burn the Floor" with Maks Chmerkovskiy, and I'm doing my own hair and makeup, I wanted to have extra hair and not have to worry about clipping hair in and it possibly falling out during the show. So I went to this amazing woman on Melrose Avenue, Vered Valensi at Vered Salon. She put in Hairdreams extensions. It took three hours!
It looks amazing now — I have long, beautiful hair which will be perfect for my Broadway experience! Then I went to rehearse with Maks straight after that.
The next morning, on Thursday, my mom and I flew to Vegas so I could rehearse with Donny. While I was in Vegas, my mom celebrated her birthday on Thursday and I took her to see the show Jersey Boys. We both loved it. Then I surprised her again on Saturday by treating her to see Bette Midler. I've always been such a huge fan!
As my blog photo shows, I couldn't resist having my picture taken with Mya and Dmitry in their '70s samba outfits on Monday night. I thought the decades' dance theme that the producers of the show decided to do was one of the highlights of the entire season.
Mya got the first perfect 30 last night and she's definitely the front runner but I couldn't predict who's going to get eliminated tonight! Keep your fingers crossed for me and Donny! We need all the help we can get!

text: LAPORTE There's more to candle-making than wax and wicks. Liz Huge creates hundreds of ways to light up lives with warm glowing fragrant wonders. "I've always enjoyed candles," the National Candle Association member says. In 2000, the Granger resident and mother of three children established a candle manufacturing company. The fire was stoked for Homestead Industries Inc. to succeed, thanks to the collective efforts of her family, Liz says. "It's a small, family-oriented business," Liz explains. "My husband, Tim, children, mother and mother-in-law all contribute their efforts. Tim's contacts made our business a success from the beginning." Tim Huge has designed molten filling equipment for large and small candle companies. So, Liz and family began doing private label contracting for candle distributors. "It's a tough business," Liz says. "The candle business is very proprietary. There are barriers to overcome, because you're asking companies to give you their candle recipes." Obviously, the candlemaker has earned their trust. Candles with vivid colors, intense or subtle fragrances with beautiful illumination are packaged and shipped to companies across the country. Liz, and her sister-in-law, Cheryl Lilly of LaPorte, who Liz defines as an indispensable jack-of-all-trades, focused efforts on developing attractive product packaging adorned in ribbons. Liz soon decided to develop a unique line of products, as well. She developed her own gel candles in rich colors with bubbles -- a guarded trade secret. Natural plant wax candles (these have no petroleum or paraffin) in bold colors with crystallized frozen textures soon followed. Puppy Perfume all natural grooming products and candles were developed in response to the family's desire to relieve their two Labrador retriever's hot spots (itchy skin), Liz says. Now, other pampered pooches are benefiting from the product line, too. Over two years ago, Liz found a quaint location to establish Homestead's Scent Shed Candle Shop. The shop, featuring gift baskets, candles, floral candle accessories, natural body-care products and jewelry, is tucked away in a quiet place near a small lake in LaPorte. The brick building was constructed in 1867 as a paper mill. Candles and products are manufactured in the building, as well. "The shop has been a great test-market for new fragrances," Liz says. She enjoys studying what kinds of fragrances either men or women are attracted to at her shop. "Men seem to prefer scents such as Creamsicle, sweet or spicy, home-baked fragrances," Liz says. All bring warmth and illuminate the home. Liz appreciates the freedom that being self-employed affords her family. "I just wanted more time to spend with my children. There's more flexibility, when you're working on your own," Liz says. Homestead's Scent Shed Candle Shop is at 1405 Lake St. in LaPorte. The shop is open Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday tours are held from 1-4 p.m. All times are CST. For further information, call (219) 325-0917, e-mail email@example.com or visit the Web site at www.homesteadindustries.com.

Chefs including Thomas Keller, Tom Colicchio and Rick Bayless descended on Aspen last weekend for the annual Food & Wine Classic. Between blowout parties, Geoffrey Zakarian hosted an intimate dinner for 12 at Casa Tua that included a methuselah (the size of eight bottles) of Chianti, for guests including Marc Murphy and Ted Allen. After a three-hour pigout, the jumbo bottle was still half-full, so Zakarian began pouring glasses for lucky guests at neighboring tables. The Lambs Club chef also hosted his Sirius XM show "Food Talk" at the St. Regis' Chefs Club, where Eric Ripert, Daniel Boulud, Dana Cowin, Andrew Zimmern and Drew Nieporent dished on the festival.

Hey Guys...
Bad moods and PE dont mix at all...
ANYWAY I have a question...
After a PE session.
Say I am working on base girth.
When I edge and get to my full erection, shouldnt I see a temporary gain at my base girth?
If I dont see any gain at all...was my session even effective at all?
I seem to be working for girth and getting nowhere...
I do my session and at the end while edging my erection doesnt change.

The only temp gains I would expect one to see are from a slightly increased EQ percentage from increased blood flow. Not like you'll actually see gains from the microtears in tissue before they even have a chance to expand, heal, and/or have cells multiply.

This is a debated issue. I've never trained for girth myself so I can't speak personally. But some look for expansion during/following a routine but some have gained plenty without having those effects.
It's all trial and error like with most things in PE as you know. Are you getting good expansion during the routine even if you're not after while edging?Foreskins are friends.

I do get expansion while I am doing my upper and mid girth routine.
But I am just wondering for my base girth routine I mostly do stretching at the base.
I dont get to see expansion there so I am wondering if it is even helping?
So far I have done two seperate routines.
Base girth routine.
Warm up.(10 minutes)
Basic stretches in all directions with kegel.(5 minutes)
Light jelqs(30 reps)
JAI stretches(50 reps)
Light jelqs(30 reps)
Tunica tug(3 x 30sec reps)
Light jelqs(30 reps)
Edging/Balloning 15mins
No warm down with hot water/anything else...Dont know why but it kills my good PIs.
Going to add bundled stretch soon.
Mid and Upper girth routine.
Warm up(15 minutes)
Light jelqs(30 reps)
Semi erect bends(bend in all directions for 30sec each,done once at midshaft and once at uppershaft)
Light V jelqs(30 reps)
Uli(2 x Hold for 45 seconds)
Light V jelqs(50 reps)
Edging/Ballooning 15 mins
No warm down.
I do this as a two day on 1 day off.
Doing my Base routine on day 1 and Mid and Upper routine on day 2.
Resting day I will edge and allow orgasm.
I usually see great a great size difference in my erection when I do my Mid and Upper routine.

I have never noticed the temporary gains that a lot of guys talk about. My gains come very slowly and quietly.
- 02-02-2011 #7
So I shouldn't worry about it I guess?
As long as the PIs are good I should be on the right track...
Thanks Guys(20/02/13)

Gains come slowly but surely most of the time, I wouldn't stress if you don't see any extremely short term girth gains or expansion because that could work against yourself. And your dick is something you look at EVERY DAY! So even if it appears as if nothing's going on down there, you never know something probably is!It's not just Penile Enhancement, it's a way of life.

Good to see you posting Millia.
Bones- If you're focusing on base girth via stretching, don't expect expansion, but you can expect the gains in months to come. I would suggest you focus mainly on downward stretching though, possibly BTC aswell. As far as I know it's from lig stretching that the base girth comes.Foreskins are friends.

Spaniard Leandro Negre replaced Els van Breda Vriesman as the new President of the International Hockey Federation (FIH), beating her in the elections held during the governing body's Congress in Los Angeles.
Negre, who was the president of the European Hockey Federation, will hold the office for a term of four years.
Negre beat Dutch Vriesman, who had been at the helm since 2001, in the five-day meet that ended on Saturday. The meeting was attended by a total of 89 national associations.
"I am very happy to be elected and I would like to thank the National Associations for voting for me. I would also like to thank Els van Breda Vriesman for the excellent work she did for hockey," Negre said in a statement after his victory.
The FIH also welcomed five new National Associations -- Mongolia, Qatar, Togo, Vanuatu and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia -- during its Congress to take the number of member countries to 127.

Hello all,
Today we publish version 2.12 at the Android Market.
The main novelty is that we have added a difficulty selector. Now you can play as Rookie or as Veteran.
At Rookie level, everything is cheaper and you have much initial capital to buy towers, and more bombs to begin with. This was a popular request!
Veteran level is basically equal to the single level available in the previous version, and is suitable for experienced players.

Home Safety: Why Home Inspection Is A Must!
Home Inspection Can Make Or Break A House Sale
Twenty-five years ago, the idea of professional home inspection was relatively unknown to all but the most cautious home buyers. Today roughly 45 percent of all homes sold in the United States are inspected prior to purchase. Rising prices, increased litigation and greater sophistication on the part of consumers have helped make home inspection an integral and growing part of the home-buying process. In addition, many real-estate contracts now stipulate that the sale is contingent upon the buyer's satisfaction with a home inspector's report.
A home inspection is the visual survey of the various components that make up a house and its immediate surroundings, including a brief check on mechanical equipment such as heating and air-conditioning systems and hot-water heater.
A Good Home Inspection Will Catch Most Of The Problems
I stress visual in the definition because sometimes clients have unrealistic expectations about what an inspector can detect. It's important to understand that the inspection covers only those portions of the building that can be seen and does not include portions that are concealed.
If an inspector can't see an item, he or she can only make an educated guess about its condition. Inspectors don't move furniture or equipment, lift carpeting or remove pictures from walls to observe covered, hidden or concealed conditions. They don't open walls or dig up septic systems or buried oil tanks. Neither does home inspection include checking for compliance with local municipal, state and federal building codes.
Nevertheless, hundreds of items within the house and on the exterior are routinely inspected and evaluated, giving prospective home buyers (and sellers) a clearer view of the dwelling in question.
A Thorough Home Inspection Answers Many Questions
Here are some, but certainly not all, of the questions a home inspector tries to answer for prospective home buyers:
- Are the electrical service and wiring adequate?
- Are aluminum wires used for branch circuits (a potential fire hazard)?
- Is the hot-water system adequate for the family's needs?
- Is there evidence of termite damage?
- Are the heating and central air-conditioning systems working properly?
- Are there any obvious fire hazards, such as lack of fire-code Sheetrock in appropriate areas?
- Does the plumbing system combine copper, brass and/or iron piping?
- Is the plumbing properly vented?
- Is the attic adequately insulated and ventilated?
- Does the roof need repair or replacement?
- Is there evidence of delaminating roof sheathing?
- Do foundation walls, girders, floor joists, columns and/or partitions show signs of structural problems?
- Is there evidence of water seepage in the basement or crawl space?
- Do faulty drainage conditions exist around the structure?
- Is there evidence of a septic problem?
Most home inspections are performed for prospective home buyers, who often use a home-inspection report to help them negotiate a better price. Buyers might argue, for instance, that since the inspector found inadequate electrical service that will cost $2,000 to remedy, they want to reduce their initial offer to account for the cost of that upgrade.
More and more, however, home sellers are beginning to avail themselves of the service in an effort to anticipate just such negotiating setbacks. If the seller has her house inspected before putting it on the market, she will be fully aware of the home's deficiencies and may either correct the problems or make it clear to potential buyers that the selling price reflects the issues detailed in the inspector's report. That way, the buyer can't really use his own home inspection to negotiate a lower price.
Check Out Your Home Inspection Provider Carefully!
Unfortunately, in most States just about anybody can hang out a home inspector's shingle. In a number of cases, they may not be qualified as home inspectors per se, although they may be quite competent in some single aspect of the building trades, be it in roofing, plumbing, carpentry or even as an engineer.
Good home inspectors are generalists. They know enough about all the components and systems that exist in residential structures to be able to recognize deficiencies, problems and potential problems. A tradesperson may be, say, a good plumber, but may lack a solid grasp of the problems caused by insufficient attic ventilation. And just because a person is an engineer does not mean that he or she is qualified as a home inspector, unless that engineer has been specializing in home inspection.
When selecting a home inspector, choose one who is a member of the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) and/or the National Academy of Building Inspection Engineers (NABIE). Both organizations have a standard of practice, a code of ethics and rigid entrance requirements, whereby candidates must demonstrate proficiency in home inspection before being granted membership.

Maui Sights
Those who know Maui well understand why it's earned all its superlatives. The island's miles of perfect beaches, lush green valleys, historic villages, top-notch water sports and outdoor activities, and amazing marine life have made it an international favorite. But nature isn't all Maui has to offer: it's also home to a wide variety of cultural activities, stunning ethnic diversity, and stellar
restaurants and resorts.
Maui is much more than sandy beaches and palm trees; it's a land of water and fire. Puu Kukui, the 5,788-foot interior of the West Maui Mountains, also known as Mauna Kahalawai, is one of Earth's wettest spots—an annual rainfall of 400 inches has sculpted the land into impassable gorges and razor-sharp ridges. On the opposite side of the island, the blistering lava fields at Ahihi-Kinau receive scant rain. Just above this desertlike landscape, paniolo (cowboys) herd cattle on rolling, fertile ranchlands. On the island's rugged east side is the lush, tropical Hawaii of travel posters.
In small towns like Paia and Hana you can see remnants of the past mingling with modern-day life. Ancient heiau (platforms, often made of stone, once used as places of worship) line busy roadways. Old coral-and-brick missionary homes now house broadcasting networks. The antique smokestacks of sugar mills tower above communities where the children blend English, Hawaiian, Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, Filipino, and more into one colorful language. Hawaii is a melting pot like no other. Visiting an eclectic mom-and-pop shop—such as Upcountry Makawao's Komoda Store and Bakery—can feel like stepping into another country, or back in time. The more you look here, the more you find.
At 729 square miles, Maui is the second-largest Hawaiian Island, but it offers more miles of swimmable beaches than any of its neighbors. Despite rapid growth over the past few decades, the local population still totals less than 200,000.

Gervase Duan "G.D." Spradlin, a character actor best known for playing authority figures in television and films, including "The Godfather: Part II" and "Apocalypse Now," has died. He was 90.
Spradlin died of natural causes at his cattle ranch in San Luis Obispo on Sunday, said his grandson, Justin Demko.
A former oil company lawyer and millionaire independent oil producer who didn't begin acting until he was in his 40s, the tall and lean Oklahoma native played his share of doctors, ministers, judges, military officers and historical figures during his more than 30-year acting career.
He portrayed President Johnson in the 1985 TV mini-series "Robert Kennedy & His Times" and President Jackson in the 1986 TV movie "Houston: The Legend of Texas."
He also played an admiral in the 1988 TV mini-series "War and Remembrance" and was a pro football coach in the 1979 film "North Dallas Forty" and a college basketball coach in the 1977 film "One on One."
His breakthrough movie role as a character actor was as corrupt Nevada Sen. Pat Geary in director Francis Ford Coppola's "The Godfather: Part II" in 1974.
Five years later, Spradlin was the Army general who sent Martin Sheen's Capt. Willard up river to find and kill Marlon Brando's Col. Kurtz in Coppola's Vietnam war movie "Apocalypse Now."
Spradlin, whose other film credits include "The War of the Roses" and "Ed Wood," retired from acting after playing Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee in the 1999 comedy "Dick."
"He brought a lot of what he had done in his life to what he did on the screen," said Demko, adding that his grandfather had a lifelong love of language and could recite passages from Shakespeare and poetry until the end.
The son of two schoolteachers, Spradlin was born Aug. 31, 1920, in Pauls Valley, Okla. He received a bachelor's degree in education from the University of Oklahoma before serving in the Army Air Forces in China during World War II.
After earning a law degree from the University of Oklahoma in 1948, he became an attorney for Phillips Petroleum Co. and then became head of Phillips' legal department in Caracas, Venezuela.
After returning to Oklahoma in 1951, Spradlin became an independent oil producer. He was so successful that he retired in 1960 and spent time cruising the Bahamas on a yacht with his family.
"Being rich changes surprisingly little," Spradlin told The Times in 1967. "You'll still have to have an absorbing interest in life, something to do to make you feel alive."
For Spradlin, that was acting.
In late 1963 his daughter Wendy, a member of the children's classes at the Mummers Theater in Oklahoma City, wanted to audition for a role in a production of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof."
To give her moral support, Spradlin accompanied her to the theater and wound up auditioning for — and landing — a role in the play, the first of three local productions he appeared in.
Spradlin, who earned a master's degree in Latin American studies from the University of Miami in 1965 and was a doctoral candidate in the same field, had directed John F. Kennedy's 1960 presidential campaign in Oklahoma and had an unsuccessful run for mayor of Oklahoma City in 1965.
A year later, he moved his family to Los Angeles.
He was so new to show business, he told The Times in 1980, that when a secretary at the William Morris Agency asked him if he had any film, "I told her no, but that there was a drugstore around the corner and I could run over and buy some. I thought you must have to bring your own film to have a screen test."
Spradlin's first wife, Nell, with whom he had two daughters, Tamara Kelly and Wendy Spradlin, died in 2000.
In 2002, he married Frances Hendrickson, who survives him, as do his two daughters and five grandchildren.
Gervase Duan "G.D." Spradlin, a character actor best known for playing authority figures in television and films, including "The Godfather: Part II" and "Apocalypse Now," has died. He was 90.

The Invisible iPad: It's Not About the Device
Since the launch of the iPad in 2010, we have seen a revolutionary transformation in how we create, consume, and communicate. Whether the iPad is an authentic educational tool is not relevant, because it's not about the iPad.
Is the automobile an authentic education tool? What about the refrigerator? Revolutionary inventions are not about the invention itself, but what the invention gives use the ability to do. A truly revolutionary invention should, in time, become invisible. No longer is it viewed as something special, yet its effects are far reaching. The lightbulb changed the way the world functioned. The world was no longer bound to productivity during daylight, or the length of time it takes your oil lamp to burn up. It was about what you would be able to do because now there was a constant and stable source of light.
While the iPad does a little more than a lightbulb, its success in eduction is based on the principle that the iPad does the same for learners as the lightbulb: It liberates us from the limitations of creative tools, the challenges of access to quality content, as well as our source of inspiration, and innovation being based on geographic location.
Sponsored By
But in conversations around learning, the iPad needs to be invisible because we're searching for something deeper than a manipulative touch screen device. We are looking to start a conversation, create a personal expression, and to fashion a brick in a collaborative digital structure.
The iPad isn't a great way to take a test, or read a book, or even create a movie. For progressive educators, it isn't enough to change how we use the iPad, but why we use the iPad -- or any other device for that matter.
We use technology to liberate ourselves from mundane robotic tasks that lack any sort of creative drive or purpose. A robot can memorize 100 vocabulary words. The question is now, what do we do with those words? Do we use them for creative expression, or do we let them collect dust in the deep recesses of our brain? Technology is not here to make us lazy, or to avoid basic communication skills, but it is here to make us think critically, solve problems, collaborate, communicate, create, and ideate. Unfortunately, these words have far surpassed cliché status in education, as if they are the key to tagging successful learning outcomes, but the truth is that when the iPad is invisible, you really get to see those words in action. As long as our focus is on learning outcomes and the experience it brings.
The idea of invisible technology is powerful. Its practical application for educators can be challenging, frustrating, and fill even the most confident learning facilitator with doubt. Invisible technology empowers its user to be independent, collaborative, and truly upend learning. How do we measure its success? Is there a definitive technology yardstick to build confidence not only in the student, but in the teacher as well? What are our goals and skills we wish our students to acquire, develop, and reflect upon? If our goal is to create an army of app-savvy iPad aficionados then we have utterly failed.
We are not trying to create students that successfully use technology, because they don't actually need us for that. We have seen the viral videos of toddlers successfully executing in-app purchases on their favorite game, and their digital literacy skills will only increase with their exposure to new technologies.
Yossie Frankel stated it simply: We cannot confuse digital literacy with 21st century competencies. If we do, we rob our students of what we really can offer them, which is the ability to communicate, think critically, collaborate, solve problems, and create dynamic ways of internalizing information and sharing it with others. This is what our place is in learning. Yes, we will need to support them with certain technology skill-building, such as keyboarding skills, app fluency, best practices of sharing and storing, and the certain nuances of utilizing technology tools, but this isn't a class or a workshop. Students don't need theoretical workshops, they want hands-on action with a purpose.
When we teach learners to effectively and properly use traditional tools, our reason is not for the tool itself but for what we are able to achieve. No one gets excited over using a welder, but its ability to connect difference pieces together to create something unique and useful from raw material is where its value as a tool really shines. Our challenge with technology like the iPad is that it has so many different abilities, that the user is faced with a real dilemma of losing sight of what the tool accomplishes, for the experience of using the tool.
Before we even begin to think about how and where we place the iPad in our learning process, we have to nail down our goals, possible challenges, and the planned path of process. If we reach a point during the project and hit a road block, we can become flustered if we do not have even a rough outline to backtrack to a clear point of success. This all starts with identifying which skills we will need to use. In elementary and middle school, these skills need to be clear and simple so students know that right now they are "collaborating" or "problem solving." We can expect these skills to be subconscious as adults, but this is not realistic for most students below or even at high school level.
Once our skill sets are assessed, we then can use these skills in our project-based learning experiences. Bloom's Taxonomy, ISTE 21st Century Standards, and the UNESCO Competency Framework are all great sources to teach these foundational skills.
Sponsored By
The challenge for educators, especially directors of educational technology, is not to limit how our teachers teach, but to focus on the foundational skills and provide a clear and concrete formula for how different technological devices and applications will enhance these skills in order to give a learner the ability to create a product that will change the world.
Michael Cohen will be presenting on Invisible Technology at the July 28-30 EdTechTeacher Summit in Chicago.

1 I have been looking for a black bowler hat to wear and haven't really found one that I like until I saw the Topshop Pork Pie Hat, it is expensive but I like the way it is not so round on top, it is a bit more flat and I haven't been able to find anymore like it from anywhere else
2 I love the sleek blushes I think they are some of the best blushes around and I have been eyeing this Blush by 3 palette in lace up for a long time now so it is about time I get it.
3 I have been lusting after this Yellow Cambridge satchel for such a long time now I have come close to picking it up a few times now but just cannot seem to part with the money, I really want the yellow because it is such a gorgeous colour and also beacuse, I wear alot of black outfits and would add a nice pop of colour
because i wear alot of black clothing i thought it would be such a cute way to add some colour and the neon yellow is such a gorgeous colour.
4 Black Comic Print High Neck Crop Top I have been loving the comic trend and have been looking for a top that wasn't to crazy and colourful so when I saw this is I thought it was perfect, I wouldn't wear it as a crop top as I don't have the best stomach and I am not that brave but I would get it baggy and wear it over a bodycon dress or something.
5 Black Dungaree Skater Skirt
6 I have my white converse and I live in them so thought I better get some more and when I saw Turquoise Converse I thought they would be the perfect colour for spring and summer
7 Like most of us beauty girls I have been loving the Real Techniques makeup brushes, I have been using the buffing brush everyday and really want to try some more and the Powder Brush is next on my list
8 Micael Kors Blair Rose Gold Watch IT IS GORGEOUS AND I NEED IT :)
9 If you read my Weekend Lust List a month ago then you would have seen that I wanted to get the Topshop Platform Chelsea Boots but for £90 I just could not justify the price as I don't think I would wear them that often so decided against getting them in the end. Then whilst browsing Missguided I noticed the Meanny Leather Peeptoe Platform Boots. I had a little squeal (ok I may have screamed and scared my family). They are exactly the same for a fraction of the price and they will defiantly be heading for my house very soon
10 I have heard such good things about the MUA undress me too and I am such a BIG MUA fan so cannot pass this up.
What is on your weekend lust list?

Anyone can contribute to The Roar and have their work featured alongside some of Australia's most prominent sports journalists.
The Super Bowl, The United States of America's largest single sporting event, is the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL) season.
Beginning with Super Bowl I in 1967 the event has become huge, and not just for the battle to win the Vince Lombardi Trophy. The international spectacle of the Super Bowl 'halftime show', and advertising spots worth a million dollars per second all take centre-stage.
Revered as an American institution the Super Bowl consistently breaks records as the most watched television event nationwide. In 2013 111.5 million viewers watched the Seattle Seahawks defeat the Denver Broncos 43-8.
Prior to 1970 the trophy was competed for by teams from the American Football League (AFL) and NFL. Following this the two competitions merged in accordance with an agreement struck at the end of the 1966 season, in doing so becoming one unified football competition under the banner of the NFL.
The Super Bowl is played annually on a Sunday (referred to colloquially as Super Bowl Sunday – or Monday in Australia), and has been gradually moved from the first Sunday in January to the first Sunday in February as the season has lengthened from a 14-week regular season games to a 17-week season.
The Super Bowl 'halftime' show has become a monster event with some of the world's most well-known performers and musicians entertaining sell-out crowds and television audiences.
To date, the Pittsburgh Steelers have won the most Super Bowl titles with six, followed by the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers with five titles. The Green Bay Packers and New York Giants have both won four. In contrast the Buffalo Bills have played in a record four consecutive Super Bowls, losing all four.
The Cleveland Browns, Houston Texans, Detroit Lions and Jacksonville Jaguars have never featured in Super Bowl Sunday.

strenuous start leads to fun climbing
I found a small nut to protect the "r' rated start...making it a g. There was a bit of strenuosity through the underclings etc. Then my rope fed through the notch and it caused paralyzing rope drag. Couldn't clear it from above. Fortunately, Simon came along, lead up behind me and released the pieces. I was surprised how slabby Stuttlebutt was...not really mentioned in the description.

Ascent Note
Came back and led the route with Jordan. Didn't get it clean though. Messed up the footwork and hung/lowered off a yellow camalot halfway through the crux traverse. Rested on the ground and then sent it clean with some gear already in place. A nice route with just a few harder moves.

|FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 29th June 2012
|New Technology Adds Another Dimension to Vehicle Remapping
|Unique Features:
|Select-A-Map Programming Handset
|Select-A-Map Diesel Control ECU
|CRD Technology, a company based in Bolton, Lancashire (UK) have developed an innovative approach to remapping common rail diesel engines. Despite an installation simplicity and physical appearance resembling that of a much less sophisticated diesel tuning box, the Select-A-Map is a unique, advanced diesel control ECU that enables diesel engines to be remapped, with five user-selectable maps, without reprogramming or tampering with the vehicle's own engine management system.
Compatible with most common rail diesel engines (including cars, vans and HGVs), this highly universal system forms an elegant solution that can both simplify the remapping of older vehicles and, with its unique non-intrusive method of connection, provide a method of remapping newer vehicles that greatly reduces any risk of invalidating vehicle manufacturer's warranties.
|Product information:
|A complete fuel remap with all the convenience of a tuning box
|The Select-A-Map ECU revolutionises vehicle remapping. It combines most of the benefits of a conventional ECU remap with the ease of installation of a diesel tuning box. It is designed to be highly universal, making it compatible with most common rail diesel engines. It packs a host of other features, such as a key fob remote control (pictured right), giving access to five instantly switchable fuel maps, and the ability to default to a standard or low power map. It even has the ability to control Nitrous Oxide (NOS), via an optional interface using a further 5 fuel maps, or the ability to control the injection of a second fuel, such as Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) or Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) in dual fuel applications.
|The only non-intrusive remapping solution
|Using patented technology, developed in the UK by the fuel injection experts at CRD Technology, the Select-A-Map ECU allows a vehicle to be remapped without cutting wires or making any modification to the vehicle's ECU. This not only makes for a quicker installation time, but also makes transferring to another vehicle possible and greatly reduces the risk of invalidating the vehicle manufacturer's warranty.
|Select-A-Map System Diagram
|Power, speed and accuracy
|To maintain engine efficiency and reduce the risk of Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) blockage, it is imperative that any modifications to the quantity of fuel injected are precisely metered and timed. The Select-A-Map ECU achieves this by accurately monitoring fuel rail pressure as well as injector opening times, using its unique, non-intrusive injector sensing method. It performs many millions of calculations per second, enabling it to compute engine speed and load values instantly so that the exact quantity of fuel required is always injected at exactly the right moment.
|Additional information for editors:
|Select-A-Map Background Information
|Select-A-Map was developed to be a dual-fuel controller but also as a solution to address a number of major issues that were identified with traditional common rail diesel 'tuning boxes' and remapping technologies:
Select-A-Map's unique patented technology allows it to measure engine speed and load, which it uses, along with the selected fuel map data, to determine the precise amount of fuel required at any moment. This addresses all of the above issues by providing a non-intrusive means to properly map an engine – with a device that is as simple to install and remove as a tuning box.

The Select-A-Map ECU will match (or better)
The Compromise
While it may sometimes be possible to improve on the compromise made by the vehicle manufacturer and achieve a slight increase in both performance and economy, for any real gains, there will always be a trade-off between the two.
No exceptions
This is especially true of diesel tuning boxes, which indiscriminately control fuel, irrespective of engine speed and load, resulting in an even greater compromise that leads to wasted fuel, in the form of particulate emissions, further increasing the likelihood of DPF problems.
Read more about the differences between remaps and diesel tuning boxes here.
No Compromise
|Highest Performance*
|Best Economy*
|Lowest Emissions*
A engine remap using the Select-A-Map ECU can out-perform any diesel tuning box in terms of performance, economy AND emissions.
This is possible because, like any conventional fuel remap, Select-A-Map remaps the vehicle's fueling in accordance with engine speed and load but, unlike any conventional remap, Select-A-Map provides FIVE instantly switchable maps (via a remote control).
Each of the 5 maps can be completely customised** and optimised, ensuring that the purpose for which the map is intended, be it performance, economy, or emissions, the best possible results can be achieved, without compromise!
Innovation and Versatility
|The Select-A-Map's unique design means that not only can fueling be increased but, where necessary, fueling can just as easily be decreased, all in accordance with engine speed and load. This gives fuel control capabilities that are far more accurate and superior than any tuning box and enables maps to be created that give greater economy, better emissions or that can prevent, or even reverse, DPF blockage.
Performance Guaranteed
|We don't make wild claims or promises about how much extra power the Select-A-Map ECU will give your vehicle – we leave that to the diesel tuning box suppliers – Instead we make one simple guarantee:
The Select-A-Map ECU will match (or better)
We can make this claim because the Select-A-Map diesel control ECU is comparable to a full diesel fuel remap, with which no diesel tuning box can ever compete (more info here).
Additionally, the Select-A-Map provides 5 instantly switchable fuel maps, allowing quick switching between performance and economy modes while driving***, making it a unique, no compromise solution that, unlike any remap or tuning box, is also DPF friendly.
* Compared with a diesel tuning box on the same vehicle and assuming Select-A-Map has been correctly installed, calibrated and configured and that the relevant map has been selected and professionally refined.
** The installer may charge a fee for any additional map refinements.
*** For safety reasons, the engine is required to be at idle speed before map switching will occur.

Remap Wins Every Time
A quick search of the internet (click here for an example) for advice and comparisons of diesel remaps vs diesel tuning boxes, reveals a near-unanimous opinion that the remap (also known as a 'rechip' or 'chipping') is far superior to any diesel tuning box.
Most people (except maybe diesel tuning box manufacturers!) will agree that a diesel tuning box is no match for a proper engine remap. And how could it be? – To map an engine properly, in accordance with engine speed (rpm) and load, it is essential to know what the engine speed and load values actually are at any given moment.
|Without such information, no diesel tuning box, however sophisticated it may be, can compete with a professional diesel engine remap.
A full engine remap performed by a reputable remap specialist, such as Superchips, Dimsport, Evolution Chips, Revo, 'Tune My Engine', MAS Performance, Elite Remaps, Celtic Tuning, Chip Tuners or TD Performance will always be able to out-perform any diesel tuning box in terms of performance, economy and drive-ability.
So Why Would Anyone Buy a Diesel Tuning Box?
|Since so many people agree that a remap will always be able to achieve a better balance of performance, economy and drive-ability than any diesel tuning box, why do so many 'black box' solutions exist and why do so many people continue to buy them and fit them to their vehicles? Do people really believe the wild claims made by some of the less reputable diesel tuning box suppliers?
Well, there are plenty of reputable diesel tuning boxes to chose from; Chip Express, The BHP Plus Speedhawk, the DTUK CRD2+ and CRD-T, the Tunit I, II, III and IV, the Synergy, the van Aaken Diesel Smartbox or the 'Original TuningBox', to name but a few. Even some of the more reputable diesel tuning box manufacturers have been known to get a little 'creative' with their fuel economy and performance claims, but few would be foolish enough to claim they can compete with a professional fuel remap.
Diesel tuning boxes vary greatly in sophistication and price, ranging from the cheap and crude 'resistor in a box' type devices, as sold on some auction sites, to the more sophisticated, microprocessor controlled devices that, in some cases, may be able to achieve moderately good results, despite lacking the accuracy and control of a fuel remap.
Of course one reason for opting for a diesel tuning box over an ECU remap is often cost. While it may be false economy, a diesel tuning box is often cheaper to purchase than a professional remap, giving the perception of being 'better value for money', at least in the short term. If combined with other factors, such as a design that facilitates easy installation or quick removal, this may be enough to persuade some people that a diesel tuning box is their best option.
ECU Remapping – Problems and Risks
|There are, however, a growing number of vehicles for which a diesel tuning box is the only practical option. Improvements in vehicle engine management technologies, especially in recent years, have brought about an increase in processor sophistication and code protection securities that put conventional ECU remapping under threat.
While such complications do not necessarily make ECU remapping an impossibility, the increased difficulties and risks associated with such procedures can make the work extremely specialised and prohibitively expensive.Even if it is practical to carry out an ECU remap, there are a number of potential issues to consider:
If a remap can be performed without opening the vehicle's ECU:
If a remap cannot be performed without opening the vehicle's ECU:
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Problem
|For modern vehicles fitted with Diesel Particulate Filters, DPF blockage is a common problem. DPF regeneration should automatically clear the filter periodically, but it can only do so when conditions are right for the procedure to safely commence. Even factory standard vehicles running factory standard fuel maps can suffer DPF blockage but the situation is made worse when the engine has been remapped or fitted with a diesel tuning box.
Diesel tuning boxes are particularly likely to cause DPF blockage since they lack the ability to control fuel in accordance with engine speed and load. Such indiscriminate increases in fuel can cause frequent over-fueling, with the result that particulates build up in the filter faster than DPF regeneration can remove them.
This is also true of an over-zealous remap, but even the most carefully and professionally executed remap can accelerate filter particulate build-up. Any diesel tuning box or remap that is permanently activated will accelerate DPF particulate build-up if it causes any increase in unburned fuel.
Some products, such as the Superchips Bluefin or the Dimsport Genius allow users to remap their own vehicles, a feature which could, theoretically, be used to help prevent DPF blockage by frequently reverting the vehicle's ECU back to the standard fuel map. However, these devices reprogram the vehicle's ECU so the procedure is not without risk and cannot be performed instantly, making it an impractical solution for the prevention DPF blockage.
The Best of Both Worlds (and then some!)
|So clearly an ECU remap provides the best results but involves procedures that can be fraught with problems and risks. Installation of a diesel tuning box, on the other hand, provides a far less risky solution but with typically poor results.What if it were possible to take the best of both and combine them into one unit?
Imagine a device that looks like a tuning box, installs like a tuning box, can be quickly removed like a tuning box but is able to remap the fuel, taking into account engine speed and load, just like an ECU remap. Now wouldn't that be the perfect solution!?
After years of research and development, CRD Technology have designed exactly that! The Select-A-Map ECU allows a vehicle to be remapped simply and safely without tampering with the ECU, yet it is quickly and easily installed, just like a diesel tuning box.
It provides not just one but FIVE fuel maps, instantly switchable via a remote key fob, and a host of other features not found in any other device.
It is also has a number of DPF-friendly features and the ability to switch to a standard or low power map when a higher power map is not required, helping to reduce any risk of DPF blockage to a minimum.
The solution is Select-A-Map!

Nitrous Oxide (NOS)
|For the ultimate in track day performance that no ECU re-map or Tuning Box can offer. Using the SELECT-A-MAP optional solenoid driver interface, it becomes possible to 'map' the Nitrous giving precise control of the solenoid and supplying the correct quantity of Nitrous without waste.
When using Nitrous in petrol engines a lean mixture can cause damage through detonation. By contrast, diesel engines are designed to run lean most of the time, which makes them better suited for use with Nitrous.
Nitrous has a cooling effect and it's high oxygen content results in a more efficient diesel burn rate that produces more power.
A fast road map will typically take a standard 160bhp engine to 190bhp but by selecting the very fast road map and using it with Nitrous 220bhp is safely achieved.
|Standard Diesel Power
|High Diesel Power
|High Diesel Power with Nitrous Oxide
|When the Nitrous switch is armed the SELECT-A-MAP automatically engages the excessively rich Nitrous map and when disarmed it reverts back to the previous selected map.
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Friendly
|Many modern cars are vulnerable to DPF blockage, especially when they are subjected to driving conditions that are incompatible with automatic DPF regeneration.
For example, if the car is mainly driven in slow moving traffic or used for short journey commuting, where the engine is rarely subjected to the driving conditions necessary for effective DPF regeneration, a build up of particulates in the filter can occur, ultimately leading to blockage.
The problem may be exasperated by overzealous engine remapping or crude 'diesel tuning boxes' which can increase the amount of unburned fuel entering the exhaust system in the form of particulates.
The result is the inconvenience of frequent trips to the dealer for 'forced regeneration', which may be a chargeable job.
The Select-A-Map ECU reduces the risk of DPF problems by allowing any increase in fuel to be governed by engine speed and load so that fuelling can be accurately controlled to reduce particulate emissions to a minimum. Uniquely, with 5 instantly switchable maps to choose from, it is also possible for the Select-A-Map ECU to be configured to automatically default to a standard or more DPF friendly map under normal driving conditions, allowing any of the enhanced performance maps to be selected only when needed.
DPF Removal
An additional plug-in emulation module is also available for use with the SELECT-A-MAP. This will appease the engine management system of most vehicles and prevent them from going into limp mode, if the DPF were to be removed.

The SELECT-A-MAP ECU offers the driver a choice of maps that can be switched in an instant, allowing power to be increased only when needed, therefore reducing fuel consumption and further reducing any risk of DPF problems.

The world's most advanced diesel performance computer
|The SELECT-A-MAP Diesel Control ECU is a new generation, diesel control computer that is undoubtedly the most sophisticated and advanced tuning product available anywhere.

It performs many millions of calculations per second, enabling it to compute engine speed and load values instantly so that the exact quantity of fuel required is always injected at exactly the right moment.
Advanced Features
|Using the same principle as a professional ECU re-map to create a mirror image of the vehicle's own ECU fuel map, the SELECT-A-MAP creates 5 different maps that are instantly switchable using the remote key fob with the ignition on or engine at idle.
1) Standard Map
|Standard torque and standard power.
2) Economy Map
|Increased torque and standard BHP to enable optimum economy – Can be refined to operator's specific requirements.
3) Fast Road Map
|Increased torque and increased BHP for everyday driving, while retaining good driveability and improved economy, with no adverse effect on DPF.
4) Very Fast Road Map
|Tuned to give the highest Torque and highest Power for occasional fast road or track day use.
Note: Prolonged use of this map could result in more frequent DPF regeneration and, since it provides uncompromising levels of performance, fuel consumption will likely increase.
5) Reduced Power Map
|Low Power or 'Valet' option enables already powerful cars to be used by less experienced drivers.
Any of the predefined maps can be used as is or, as an optional extra service, the installer can further refine any map* to suit individual requirements.
No single map is right for every purpose. Vehicle manufacturers are forced to compromise by producing a map that meets emission regulations while providing acceptable economy and performance.
ECU re-map specialists experience similar problems when working with a single map; improvements can be made in some areas but never in all areas.
By offering 5 customised, instantly switchable maps, it is possible to provide an uncompromising solution that can be tailored to suit any purpose and every customer.
Some re-mapping companies offer customers an optional OBD handset that allows switching between 2 maps, but this procedure can take several minutes to perform and carries a risk that a data error could render the vehicle's ECU inoperable.
A specific map can be selected as the default map to revert to at power-up/ignition-on. For example, it may be preferable to always start the vehicle with a standard/100% map or, for added security, a reduced-power or 'valet mode' map. Note: One exception to this is Map 5 which, when selected, remains selected, regardless of any default map settings or ignition status, until a different map selection is made.
* Additional mapping costs may be charged.
