Request a Building Control site visit
A formal notification of a Building Notice or a Full Plans application needs to be deposited with the Council's Building Control Section before a visit can be made.
Request an inspection
Inspections can be booked two working days in advance, for Monday to Friday only. No visits are available at weekends. Please use our site visit application form to request an inspection. If you have any questions or comments, please contact the Building Control Team.
It is not possible to book specific times for a Building Surveyor to attend site.
You must give notice two days before commencement of works.
Inspection Framework - Owner/Occupier/Builder
The following inspection stages are those for which the Regulations require that the builder or owner give formal "notice" before covering the work in question. Inspections will need to be made as appropriate to the job in question. In most instances 1 days notice is required, occupation and completion inspections require 5 days notice.
As a general rule however, provided a request is made for any inspection before 10.00am on work days, an inspection will normally be made the same day. A request at any other time will normally involve an inspection the following working day.
"Notice" referred to above can be by telephone directly to the Building Control Surveyor supervising your project, or Building Control Admin support Team on 020 8891 7117, or fax on 020 8891 7347, or email to: email@example.com
Type of Works | Description | Notice | Notes |
Commencement of works |
That you intend to commence works | 2 days | This might include site of existing foundation examination |
Foundation excavations | Before anything is placed in the excavations | 1 day | More than one visit may be necessary |
Covering of foundations |
Before the foundation concrete is covered | 1 day | May be done with either of the next two inspections |
Hardcore Oversite |
Before any hardcore or concrete laid over the site is covered | 1 day | May include mesh reinforcement, thermal insulation provision and damp proof membrane |
Damp Proof Courses |
Before any damp proof course or membrane is covered, including tanking | 1 day | May be combined with above inspection, but may include dpc's in other locations |
Drains | Before covering up any drain or sewer | 1 day | Includes all access, cleaning and rodding points |
Backfilling drain excavations |
Before backfilling any drain or sewer which has been haunched or covered | 5 days | At this stage it may be prudent to include a test on the underground drains |
Occupation | Before a building or any part of it is occupied | 5 days | Occupying a building before substantial completion may give rise to health and safety risks. A plumbing test may be included |
Completion | After completion of the works | 5 days | No Completion Certificate will be issued without a final inspection and notice of completion |
Important: Part P Electrical Safety |
Installation | 1 day | All electrical work required to meet the Requirements of Part P (Electrical Safety) must be designed, installed, inspected and tested by a person competent to do so. |
Completion | 5 days | Prior to completion the Council should be satisfied that Part P has been complied with. This may require an appropriate BS7671 electrical installation certificate to be issued for the work by a person competent to do so. |
In addition to the "statutory inspections" referred to above, as appropriate to the project and with specific reference to this particular project the following items should be inspected also:
Additional Inspections
- IL03 - Steel/Timber beams
- IL01 - Thermal insulation
You are therefore advised to ensure that notice is given so that these items are particularly inspected. It must be understood that this list is not comprehensive, but highlights items of particular and specific interest to a project.
Contact Building Control
Technical advice, site visit requests, etc
For Building Regulations advice, technical guidance and requests for site visits/inspections in the first instance contact the Building Surveyor for your area. You can find the relevant officer, their area and all their contact numbers on our Building Control Officers page.

Andy Reid names Nick Foles the starting quarterback for remainder of season

Andy Reid names Nick Foles the starting quarterback for remainder of season
Zach Berman
Andy Reid named Nick Foles the starting quarterback for the rest of the season, regardless of Michael Vick's health.
"It gives one of your players the opportunity to play here, the next four games, as a starter," Reid said. "Each week, he's been the replacement guy. Now he is the starter, we'll see how he does with that on his plate, see how he handles it. I don't expect much change there with him."
Reid said Vick is on "the fast track" and might return this weekend, although he's still at the fourth phase of the concussion recovery. But Reid said the decision was made in part for Vick's long-term health.
"I think, where we're out, with the season, it gives this kid an opportunity to play and finish it up," Reid said. "He's playing well enough that I think he can win football games for us. Where we sit at this position in the season, it's the right thing to do."
Foles has started the past three games with Vick out with a concussion. In three starts and four total appearances, he completed 60.9 percent of his passes for 739 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions.
"I did speak to [Vick], and he was very positive about it," Reid said. "He completely understood. He's on board."
Vick will likely be the No. 2 quarterback when he's healthy. Reid emphasized that Vick's concussion recovery has taken a long time -- Vick is still at the fourth phase of a five-step process and has not passed his ImPACT test -- and wants Vick healthy enough to have a long career.
"He still has three, four years that he can probably get out there, wing it, so let's get him healthy and on right direction there," Reid said.
Reid said he made the decision on Vick without interference from the front office.
"One great thing about the Philadelphia Eagles organization is Jeffrey [Lurie], when Joe [Banner] was here, and Howie [Roseman] and the other general managers were here, they allowed me to make decisions," Reid said. "I understand where you're coming from that you need to know that, but those are my decisions."
- toiletofphilly
- Don't be fooled. This was directed by Lurie/Roseman. So was Washburn's firing. Reid is just trying to maintain whatever dignity he has left, which is not much. He owns this fiasco, from start to finish. Vick should have never been signed. Notice how Foles operates with the same O line Vick had -- no comparison.
- And Jaws just said the same thing on SportsCenter. It's all being directed by the front office. Say goodbye to Reid. He's cooked, just like Vick.

JUNE, 1954 nWv Darrell Heads Merged Traffic-Planning Division Consolidation Will Promote Efficiency Wider application of traffic engineering data to the planning of state highways will result from the consolidation of two Highway department activities July 1. On that date, a new Division of Traffic and Planning will begin functioning in the Highway department, headed by J. E. P. Dar- iKfiji tS&i^dfoaM *7<*^e4 Octet — Ferderer Resigns After Six Years' Staff Service Highway department has a STeTv administrative assistant and director of personnel this month as a result of the resignation of Robert C. Ferderer, well-known staff member who has served in that Central Office capacity since 1948. The new staffer is Kermit Bergstralh, who was first introduced to Hiwayans when he became Mr. Ferderer's assistant in December, 1952. He Jias been named acting head of the Administration ^'division and will ■assume Mr. Ferd- r erer's duties until f arrangements are made to fill the I vacancy on a permanent basis. Mr. Ferderer bergstralh has headed the "inistration and personnel division of the Department since his appointment to that post on March 1, 1948. Before that, he was assistant to the director and personnel officer of the former Division of Social Welfare, having been a staff member there since 1942. Prior to entering state service, he had been engaged for 6 years in the work of the Ramsey County Welfare board. Commenting on Mr. Ferderer's MR. ferderer resignation, Commissioner Hoffmann had the following to say: "In the 6 years since Bob Ferd erer has been a member of the staff of the Department of Highways, he has accomplished outstanding results in the administrative and personnel fields of our operations. He has directed the coordination of many administrative functions and inaugurated See back page for pictures of farewell dinner. procedures for improved efficiency and economy. He also established better and more uniform personnel policies throughout the entire department. "It is with deep and sincere regret that I accept his resignation from the state service. His willingness to accept responsibilities, sometimes extremely difficult, and to carry through reorganizational assignments to their successful accomplishment, have been an important factor in the execution of many of the realignments and refinements recommended both by the Little Hoover Commission on Efficiency in Government and by the Public Administration Service's survey into departmental operations and organization." Mr. Bergstralh originally came to the Highway department on December 8, 1952, when he succeeded Ray Lappegaard as personnel officer. Prior to that, he had been employed by the Civil Service department since 1949. A graduate of Macalester college, he majored in political science and economics and did graduate work at the University of Minnesota in public administration. A farewell dinner was given Mr. Ferderer by fellow Hiwayans at the Lowry hotel June 2. J. E. P. DARRELL Okes to Rebuild Defective Paving The matter of the deficient paving project on Trunk Highway 8 between Taylor Falls and Shafer was settled early this month to the satisfaction of the State Highway department and in the interest of all Minnesota taxpayers. On June 3, the State concluded an agreement with the Okes Construction company whereby the St. Paul contractor has agreed to rebuild all defective portions of the 1953 paving job. Reconstruction work was to begin by June 15 and must be completed by September 1. Highway employees who have been concerned about the paving job or unable to answer criticisms that may have come from other citizens can point with pride to the conclusion of the agreement. Particularly noteworthy were the Department's alertness in discovering the deficiencies and in withholding more than enough payment (Continued on page 2) rell, present Director of Traffic and Safety.

A Moreland commission set up by Cuomo to look into how companies dealt with the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy reported its findings Monday, saying the state needs to be more active in their regulation of the utilities.
Read New Yorkers' thoughts on how Con Edison and LIPA handled the power outages from Sandy.
The privatization or a state takeover of LIPA would need to be done legislatively.
"This is, right now, an impossible relationship for the state, for anyone, for the consumer. The utilities basically have franchises for life," Cuomo said.
"LIPA is a mess and desperately needs to be cleaned up. The Moreland Commission's preliminary recommendations are the first important steps in reforming LIPA," said Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice.
The Moreland commission favors privatizing LIPA, a process that could be complicated by the utility's sizable debt. Commission members said that debt could be restructured.
The commission also recommends that the state bulk up its Public Service Commission, which regulates the utilities. That could include hiring up to 2,000 new state workers.
"Basically recommending putting the PSC on steroids, when you do that, and you have a regulator that's more active, you are going to get better performance from those they regulate," said Moreland commission co-chair Ben Lawsky.
The Moreland commission says the PSC should have better oversight, reviewing utility disaster plans, increasing penalties for utilities when mistakes are made and wielding the power to revoke franchises.
More than 2.1 million people lost power in New York State due to Hurricane Sandy, and LIPA had one of the worst performances when it came to getting people restored.

Eight-year-old C. J. Burford of Walkertown will set off on a bike ride across the state of N.C. Monday morning, traveling 360 miles and raising money to provide live-saving heart surgery for children.
"This bike ride isn't a race," Burford said, "instead it's a great opportunity for many people to help me show God's love and support families all over the world with children who do not have the medical care they need."
Burford, who has biked over 430 miles in the past two years while raising over $7000.00 for charitable organizations, has found a way to combine his love of cycling with his desire to help others.
One day in 2011, Burford was riding in the back seat of the family car listening to the radio when he heard the song "Do Everything" by Steven Curtis Chapman.
"It said everything you can do, do it for the glory of God," he said. "I asked my mom, 'does that mean I can ride my bike for Jesus?'"
His mother, Katie Burford, said it did, and suggested he start riding at a local bike track.
But, Burford also took inspiration from a family friend who was a cross country cyclist, and wasn't keen on riding in circles. "I want to ride somewhere," he told his parents.
His first distance ride was 30 miles, he said, which he completed in four hours. His second ride was from Winston-Salem to Charlotte, a distance of 92 miles.
Last year, Burford biked 315 miles across N.C., he said.
Burford's rides have raised funds for The Ronald McDonald Houses of Winston-Salem and Charlotte, the Samaritan's Purse "Turn on the Tap" Water Project, and for medical missionaries in Africa that assisted in building a hospital in Dandora, Kenya
May 13-25, he will once again be pedaling for a cause, this time for Samaritan's Purse to raise funding for their "Children's Heart Project."
Burford will be cycling from Elk Park on the Tennesee line to Emerald Isle on the coast. There are four children in his family, so he set a fund raising goal of $8,800.00, the amount needed to provide help for four children in need of life saving heart surgeries.
Burford asks: "Please share my story with your family and friends and ask them to pray for me as I ride, to pray for the people this money will reach, and to give a love offering in honor of this ride. If every person will come together and do this it would help in a HUGE way!

The 17th annual national survey conducted by brand loyalty and engagement consultancy Brand Keys identifies brands that are best able to engage consumers by meeting or exceeding their expectations, which creates loyal customers. Brand Keys' Customer Loyalty Engagement Index recognizes the brands that receive the highest loyalty and engagement assessments and surpass competitors for "delighting" customers. In the coffee restaurant and packaged coffee categories, consumer preferences were based on consistently meeting customer expectations for taste, quality, service and brand value.

"We congratulate Dunkin' Donuts, which has developed an extremely loyal fan base by creating real emotional engagement between their brand and the consumer," said Robert Passikoff, founder and president, Brand Keys. "They've been #1 in our Customer Loyalty Engagement Index for seven years in a row, and you can only achieve that through great product, meaningful differentiation, and a brand that continuously resonates with the consumer."
Dunkin' Donuts' packaged coffee is the perfect way to enjoy the delicious taste of Dunkin' Donuts coffee at home, any time. Available in favorite flavors such as Original Blend, Decaf, Hazelnut and French Vanilla, Dunkin' Donuts' packaged coffee is available at participating Dunkin' Donuts restaurants in a 16-oz. bag.

Dunkin' Donuts uses 100% Arabica coffee beans, and the company's coffee specifications are recognized by the industry as a superior grade of coffee.

With Black Friday sales beginning on Thursday, most of the rush was over in Richmond County by noon on Friday.
Walmart was quiet by 11 a.m. and store associates said it was a relatively smooth Black Friday.
"Everything was lovely this time," said DJ Brewington, maintenance person at Walmart for 15 years. "I have seen it rougher. I have seen one or two fights, but this year it's been good."
Implementing solid strategy and hiring extra hands helped Belk out as well.
Tanaia Winchester was hired as seasonal help, and it's her first year being on the staff side of Black Friday.
"We had a good plan and ground rules,"said Winchester. "It was not as hectic as I assumed it would be."
Winchester had been on the store floor since 11:30 p.m. on Thursday, and by Friday morning she was tired but still wore a smile and assisted customers by getting things down that were out of reach, and helping match clothing. She wasn't at the door when gift cards were being handed out to the first 200 customers, one of which was a $1,000 gift card.
"I did hear somebody scream, so maybe that was it," said Winchester. "Then I heard someone say, I stood in line for a $5 gift card?"
Although people weren't breaking the doors down and shoving each other to get to the deals, Winchester said the event was "overwhelming."
Tim Baldwin of Hamlet was checking out bargains in the appliance section of Belk on Friday, which is rare for him.
"I'm usually in a tree stand right now," said Baldwin. "I hunt all November because I get a couple weeks off. But this morning I thought, I'm going to give my wife my last four days of my vacation. My oldest daughter almost had her arm torn off at Walmart last year (during Black Friday)."
Baldwin's daughter, Kristin Jones, said they started their shopping around 7 a.m. She said they have seen "really good deals" at the stores they had been to. According to Jones, the best deal all morning was Walmart's $2 movies.
Belk helped their holiday staff out by providing meals for them so they wouldn't have to leave the building. One helper, Mary Covington, wore an elf hat. Covington is full-time and has been with Belk for 20 years.
"At midnight we were wide open," said Covington. "We stayed busy and then slowed down around 3 a.m. It's gone quite well. Everyone has been behaving."
Covington gripped a Belk coffee thermos while explaining that the hardest part was staying awake.
"We all have 12-hour shifts," she said. "We stay in the building and they feed us our meals."
Covington said the worst behavior she saw was a customer trying to cut in line.
"She (the customer) thought she could put her stuff down and leave and then come back to the same spot," said Covington.
Across the parking lot at RadioShack, gadgets were flying off the shelf.
Dustin Williams went home with a new PlayStation 3 for $220, and he said, "I got a good deal." His PlayStation 3 wasn't going home to be plugged in, though. Williams said he would be wrapping it up and putting it under the tree while he waits on the warranty.
Williams' son Dylen, 16, checked out the smart-phones. He said he really wanted the Samsung Galaxy Note II, and his friend, James Black, 12 of Hamlet, agreed.
"It's cool," said Black.
Damajah Underwood, 18, of Hamlet, checked out the cameras. RadioShack was stocked with point and shoot cameras that fit in your pocket, video cameras that are built to be durable and high-resolution digital cameras. Underwood said that was what she wanted most for Christmas, a digital camera, but when shopping for someone else, would probably get a smart-phone.
Electronics have been the items at the top of most shoppers' lists, so stores stocked up on TV, DVD and Blu-ray players, game consoles, extra controllers, batteries and other gadgets. Jake Brown has worked at Walmart for two years, and he was in the electronics section during Black Friday.
"I enjoy it, I really like talking to people," said Brown. "It wasn't as busy as other places in the store but I would say it was a little hectic. I didn't see anybody arguing or anything, though. We sold a lot of TVs, and our games were less than half off. We sold a good bit of computers, too."

86THPAQI Briarcliffe College President, George Santiago, Jr. Honored by March of Dimes Briarcliffe College President Dr. George Santiago, Jr. was recently honored by the Long Island Chapter of the March of Dimes during its 14th Annual Golden Apple Awards dinner with over 225 people in attendance. The organization recognized Dr. Santiago for his contributions as "an outstand-ing individual making a difference through a commitment to education." Community service, advocacy, research and education are essential to the not-for-profit s mission to prevent infant mortality and premature births. Pictured I to r: Briarcliffe College President Dr. George Santiago, Jr. receives the Golden Apple Award from NYS Board of Regents Member Roger Tilles. Homes for Returning LI Veterans Senator Kemp Hannon is informing Iraq and Afghanistan veterans about an affordable housing opportunity. Long Island Home Builders Care (LIHBC), a not-for-profit ann of the Long Island Builders Institute (LIBI) will be building four homes for veterans returning from Iraq or Afghanistan. Through the donation of land and reduced charges for materials and labor, the homes will be awarded to selected Veterans at a price they can afford. One of the major hurdles facing returning veterans is an affordable place to live. Over 10 years ago a group of Long Island builders formed a not-for-profit as a way for them to give back to the Long Island community. Their work over the past year has resulted in plans to build four homes in Suffolk County for veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. With construction underway, the first home, a two-story, three bedroom high ranch located in Sound Beach can be customized to the special needs of the Veteran and his or her family. Veterans interested in applying for the home should write to Lois Fricke, Long Island Home Builders Care, 1757-8 Veterans Memorial Highway, Islandia, New York, 11749, or simply call 631-232-2345. Please include infor-mation on tour of duty and present status.

There's not much I hate more than having to ask people for money. It's always awkward for everyone involved. The person asking feels embarrassed and nervous. The person being asked feels put on the the spot. That's the single greatest benefit I can see of being crazy rich: you don't have to ask people for money anymore. You do what you want.
As it turns out, I'm not crazy rich. And I've been in a ridiculous number of situations in which I've had to ask people for money. Some of these situations have been totally worth it; the vast majority, however, have not. I give you:
A Sampling of Situations in Which I Have Had to Ask People for Money and the Ensuing Awkwardness:
The point of all of this, is that I hate asking people for money. It's the worst. And I'm sure you've heard by now that I have a Kickstarter, in which I am voluntarily putting myself through the misery of asking people for money every day for 30 days. I feel like this deserves an explanation, so here it is:
I believe you should make the art you want to see in the world. I'm not a fan of complainers who don't bother helping to create. You don't like all the inane shows on television? Then make a better one. And I don't mean write a script and hire actors and buy a camera - although, if that's your dream, then go for it - I mean do what YOU can do to make that happen. Watch the good shows. Talk about the good shows. Throw a fit when they fire Dan Harmon. And put your money where your mouth is. When you see someone working to make something you'd like to watch, and they ask you for a few bucks, throw them a few bucks. I've done it, and I've never missed that $5 bill.
A very smart lady once told me, "You'll never regret the money you spend on art or books." Clearly, this was before Fifty Shades of Grey happened to us. But I think she was mostly right. It's a gift to live in a place and time that we can create art that makes us laugh and think and talk and argue. And I will never regret cutting back on my Starbucks spending for a few days in order help make that art happen.
Yes, I have a Kickstarter. I'm asking you to give me some money. If you click on the link, and watch the trailer we've created, and think "This is the absolute worst thing I have ever watched, oh god, my eyes, MY EYES" - don't give us any money. I mean, SERIOUSLY - don't give us any money. We're clearly doing something wrong, and should come up with a better idea. We can handle it. But if you click on that and think "Hey, that wasn't half bad, I wouldn't mind watching that film" - throw us a few bucks. We'll do everything in our power to make something worth watching. Because, honestly, there's no way in hell I would go through the torture of asking all of you for money if I wasn't desperately trying to create the art that I want to see in the world.
Thanks, and here's the link:

An error appears indicating the CreateSnapshotSet() failed. What should I do?
When trying to image a drive, an error appears indicating the CreateSnapshotSet() failed. How can this error be resolved?
The error basically means that the system doesn't have enough of a buffer to hold all write operations occurring during a backup. You need to increase the area allowed to VSS to buffer such write operations.
On Windows Server operating systems you need to open the properties of one drive, such as C:, and open the Shadow Copies tab. Then select the drive and click Settings:
Now you need to specify No Limit or at least 15% of the drive's size as a limit. Do this for each drive in your system and try to run the backup again.

The number of structure fires in the City of Rockingham in 2012 was nearly the same city firefighters dealt with the year before, according to the 2012 Annual Report of the Rockingham Fire Department.
City firefighters responded to 14 structure fires last year, compared with 16 in 2011, reported Fire Chief Charles Gardner.
The chief prepared the 24-page report and presented its details recently to the City Council.
Of the structure fires in 2012, three fires were due to cooking, four were electrical, two were arson, and two were heater or equipment related, Gardner said. Of the 14 structure fires, two were in commercial buildings and 12 were in residential dwellings.
In 2012, the average number of personnel on scene of a structure fire was 20, and the average response time was 3 minutes and 31 seconds.
"Last year was the first year we've used every piece of equipment we've got," Gardner said.
The chief said the city fire department gets high marks whenever it's evaluated, in large part for the impressive amount of firefighting equipment on hand. Gardner thanked City Manager Monty Crump and the City Council — "you all stepped up" when it was time to purchase necessary emergency equipment over the years, he said.
Mayor Pro Tem John Hutchinson turned attention back to Gardner, saying he was being modest. Hutchinson said it was Gardner who worked hard to get grant money to purchase a new fire truck. The effort was a success "and the only cost we have in it (the truck) is the paint," said Hutchinson.
Hutchinson also commended Gardner for the thorough training programs the firefighters take part in each year.
The fire department is "an asset for Rockingham," Hutchinson said.
"I appreciate it," Gardner responded.
The report shows total hours of training for full-time personnel were 9,247.50 hours, which resulted in an average of 628.5 hours per man. In addition, the part-time personnel had 1,260.5 hours and averaged 114.55 hours training per member.
The department's fire inspection program conducted 754 fire inspections in 2012, the report shows. At this time the department has six certified fire inspectors. In addition, the department conducted 156 inspections during the year on city-owned buildings.
"This is a monthly ongoing part of the city's safety program," said Gardner.
During 2012, the department conducted 72 fire prevention programs. The number of hours spent on the programs was 171 hours which reached 8,618 participants and 18 organizations.
The fire department installed 110 child car seats during 2012. FirstHealth provided 21 seats, and with the help of grant funds the department was able to provide an additional 33 seats to those who had a need.

Friday morning raid yields drugs, cash and suspect
TROY — A raid conducted as part of a joint sting operation by state and local narcotics cops early Friday morning netted drugs and cash at a North Troy location.
Police arrested Vance Lee Dane, 25, who was at the 76 Jay Street location at the time of the raid. Along with two ounces of marijuana, police also recovered more than $1,800 in cash.
"Our team crashed in the door and everyone was safe," said Troy Police Captain John Cooney. "And they found the marijuana and the cash."
The raid was a planned operation by the Troy Police department's Special Investigations Unit (SIU) and CNET, the state police's Community Narcotics Enforcement Team.
"CNET works hand in hand with our SIU special investigations unit," Cooney said. "They primarily handle drug cases," Cooney said.
In this case, Dane had been under surveillance for over two months.
"Not too long ago, within the last 60 days, the subject (Dane) came to our attention," Cooney said.
"The investigation included drug purchases, and once everything was wrapped up, we went to a judge and got our arrest warrant."
The raid went off at Dane's third floor apartment without incident, as a team of CNET and Troy police SIU officers took the suspect into custody and seized the drugs and cash.
Dane, who was charged with one count of criminal possession of marijuana, was arraigned in Troy City Court Friday morning.

Communication research consists of staff and student projects across the full range of contemporary print, digital, audiovisual, graphic and illustration media. Communications are explored in the widest social and cultural contexts, and a philosophical approach is used to understand the role of communication theory and practice in culture and society, with research being seen as a conduit for ideas rather than medium specific. We encourage innovative and experimental ideas that test the limits of our major disciplines and their increasingly hybrid outputs. The disciplines include digital media, photography, film, video, text, paint, sound, wood-block type, print, environment, digitisation, visualisation, navigation, digital media, social media, networking, sound and spatial awareness. The research undertaken within the School includes both multidisciplinary and multimedia facets and a wide range of technical and computer skills, thinking through making, awareness of contexts, audiences, users and the public. The School provides a vibrant and supportive working community with increasing contact with industry, the public and external funders.
Research-active staff contribute to new media practice through publication, exhibition and curating their own and colleagues' work. Research students – often professionals engaged in teaching, writing and exhibition – contribute to the research culture by progressing their own topics, and by engaging collectively in critical seminars. We encourage researchers to associate with the overall postgraduate studies programme, and to take their work and ideas into the wider world through conferences, galleries, and in print, digital and other media. The research skills, methodologies and methods, developed initially through the research methods course, incorporates narrative, storytelling, new knowledge, analysis observation, and specific methods such as case studies.
A new development is the prestigious Creative Economy Knowledge Exchange Hub, in association with Lancaster and Newcastle Universities and funded by the AHRC. The Royal College of Art's role is led by Professor Neville Brody. The Hub will collaborate with the BBC, Microsoft, MediaCityUK, FutureEverything, Tate Liverpool, Opera North, NESTA, Manchester Digital, Arts Council England and over 30 small- and medium-sized companies working in the sector, such as Stardotstar, B3 Media and Mudlark. It responds to and enhances digital space and interactive content online, and explores new forms of connectivity. The project will include six PhD research scholarships at the RCA to develop innovative ideas and practice within the framework of Visual Communication, and will be based in a new Digital Research Lab. The six areas of this project are experience, participation, connectivity, narrative, identity and personalisation.
Research in Visual Communication is organised around the major research interests of staff and students by asking questions and finding new solutions in diverse areas of communications practice and theory. Our multidisciplinary themes are:
Research in Animation is organised thematically around clusters of interest of staff and students.
Animation and the Real: Documentary Animation – twenty-first century animation practice is increasingly hybrid in form and aesthetics. As new uses for animated imagery emerge, and the expertise of animation artists widens, this pervasiveness creates new challenges and opportunities for cross-disciplinary collaborations. One area of convergence is the documentary form, where the penetration of animation has been very visible. Animation is in other disciplines preoccupied with representing the real (scientific research, therapy, education), giving opportunities for cross-disciplinary collaborations, and the access of animators to independent long-format production.
Projects within animation are 'Landscape, Environment and Culture', exploring the natural and artificial environments as a source of meaning and identity; projects exploring landscape imagery and sound in the context of memory, history and community; 'Analogue / Digital', exploring the interface and overlap between analogue and digital technologies, and ways in which traditional 'craft' media and processes are alongside digital technology and 'hybrid' processes e.g. single-frame manipulation, drawing with light, and sound; 'New Narratives' are projects that employ the innovative use of word and image to explain or entertain; and 'Moving Image' – film and video projects, typified by experimental self-authored pieces for cinemas or exhibitions.

If that's not a BIG question I don't know what is. I think people grow every year of your life. If you really reflect you change as a person over time….and it happens so quickly. It really does.
Three years ago…..I finally got my life back together after letting it fall apart….like WOAH. That's when I moved to Indy, That's when I went back to school.
Two years ago is when everything started. Before school started that year I decided music was what I wanted to do for my minor. I landed an internship at WRTV6. While I was interning, I went down to Purdue for a weekend where I met one Josh Randolph of News From Verona. We met through a mutual friend from my home town.
We got to talking he told me about his band and how Genuine had come across them at the mall. I told him he had to let me pitch the story to the station. He said not until anything was set in stone. The moment it was he let me know. I ended up doing a web story for theindychannel.com and it made it into featured content for the weekend.In the first day it had over 6 pages of comments. It got an incredible response and when I went into the station on Monday every was like "Way to go intern."
More importantly Justin and I decided that since the station didn't have time to have them on air, that we would do an interview and try to get them to run it. The NFV one. I believe they did end up running a clip from the interview over the weekend. Never the less we turned it into something for IUPUI student media. Then we had a thought why not do it ourselves. That is when we created IndiMusicScene. The response was huge and the first video had over five HUNDREAD views.
Then we did a second one with Same as Sunday. That one went incredible and people really were responding, I was like we can do this. We can start local and branch out.
We were averaging one a month which isn't too bad. Then I landed a video interview with Gwen Stacey I was pumped this band was huge. For our third interview AWESOME. Then Justin bailed on me and I didn't have a camera guy. It didn't work out we went on hiatus and IndiMusicScene never reformed. I was bummed.
I got very lucky and was able to get tons of experience in the field at RTV6, I was the one that covered the FFA kid falling at Circle Center Mall it got turned into a package and went national..that was amazing, even if a different reporter turned into a package it was still my interview that went nationwide.
The producer in charge of interns approached me about a country duo joey + Rory (joey is from indiana) that was nominated for a CMA she said I had a niche for music writing and should see if I could get them to do an interview. I tried for a month and half, I left voice mails, I called and they kind of gave me the go around.
The day before the CMA's I called first thing in the morning I figured one last go. I got their direct publicist no assistant. She was gushing OH MY GOSH I hadn't even heard you contacted us about this Joey likes to make Indiana her first priority when it comes to this we will make sure you get your interview today! I was so pumped. Even if it was country it was a big deal.
I landed the interview with barely anytime to spare.
After RTV was over all I could think about was music writing, and re-starting IndiMusicScene. A guy I go to school with started his own thing My Indy Underground and I got totally behind that and supported it, but I was just heartbroken it wasn't me.
I got asked to work on a movie that summer for behind the scenes interviews. It was just a short film but an honor none the less. It was an amazing experience. I ended up being a DA/PA/Acting coach, and two of my poems got used for the film. It was an incredible learning experience.
That fall however I was sitting in class when a girl in my class named Hiba had a website up. As many times as I begged Justin about IndiMusicScene he couldn't afford to do something that wasn't bringing in money.
So when I saw this site that said Indyconcerts.com I go "Whats that?" she told me about the site and her internship. I was like ARE YOU KIDDING ME! I HAVE TO DO THAT! DO THEY NEED ANY INTERNS.
I told her about IndiMusicScene and how I was a jour major with a music minor. So she connected me with my boss. I sent him my writers resume and he told me that I had more experience than pretty much anyone and he knew he wanted me.
I started at indyconcerts on October 31st 2010. Nearly nine months ago WOW! The last nine months have been nothing short of amazing. I have met and interviewed so many of my musical heroes. In the last month I got to head the team for Warped tour, and I get honor and respect from my boss to do almost anything I want.
Better than anything I got to bring IndiMusicScene into IndyConcerts. My boss had heard about it prior to me contacting him (we only had the thing two months!) so we talked about it from the get go.
Thats why the video interviews say IndyConcerts MusicScene. I have been doing that the last few months again and I love it.
I also fell in love with photography when I use to say I am a writer I will never take photos.
I also truly immersed myself in the Indianapolis Music Scene. It has been AMAZING! I have met so many kids with amazing dreams and drives. Kids that don't say they want something and do nothing, but go after it. It boggles my mind how Lexi Mathioudakis is in high school and takes some of the most amazing pictures I have ever seen. That Cody Almond of Comeback can write the way he does. That the kids in Comeback all have incredible stories and are amazing kids. That Chris Bauchle of Same as Sunday has influenced so many young kids in this scene. How the guys from NFV are so supportive of younger bands. That Rose Maylie and Ironsides are hardcore that is amazing which is hard to find. That Breaking New Lines built a fan base never posting a song til recently. That 14 year old McKayla Willever of violet skies sings like a 20 year vocal vet. That Glorious Rebellion has so much heart and that they give it 110 percent at shows, especially little Brook Voils. That Kyle stock was started by high schoolers and they do an amazing job organizing it. That Nate Adams and Dan Inskeep from Sweatshirt Weather are so freaking talented its ridiculous. Whether its recording and editing something, doing sound at a show or what they do with their own band. How I was stopped in my tracks when I heard Indian City Weather the other day.
I spent an hour going through purevolume accounts in Florida the other day, I was hard press to find something good and if I did they were already signed. Indianapolis is one talented city and I think its just a matter of time before a lot of you reach your dreams.
Whether you all see it or not, whether you feel like this scene is failing and that some people ruin it for everyone else. I look at all of you and see heart. You all love this and you all are good. More importantly whether you realize it or not I see you supporting one another. Especially the young kids, they find a way to support each other in a way that is beautiful.
The vets in this town are for the most part good at supporting one another. I just think some bands need to learn to support the new wave. To find a way to remember what it was like to be new kid on the scene. To stop hating when bands land on Warped Tour and congratulate one another. Sucks it wasn't you but hey that band that made it they're a part of your scene, give them some cred. This scene has the potential to be one of the most incredible scenes in the country. Every city has their moments….why not make this ours.
That totally left how I have changed…but whateva

Tech Time Review: HP ENVY Touchsmart Ultrabook 4 is a solid ultrabook
The ultrabooks just keep on coming … more specifically, the touchscreen ultrabooks keep on coming. Even more specifically, the touchscreen ultrabooks with Windows 8 keep on coming..
I recently tested out another offering that fits this category, the HP ENVY Touchsmart Ultrabook 4, and I'm back with a full report.
The ENVY 4 features a sharp design in silver and black (black frame around the display and black keyboard, and a silver base and touchpad). The palm rest keyboard area and cover have a sturdy brushed aluminum finish, and the bottom of the machine is a soft-touch rubber material.
Overall I was very impressed with the build and look of the machine.
The once area where I see the ENVY 4 trailing its competitors in the ultrabook arena is weight, as this machine comes in at roughly 4 pounds. That's a full pound heavier than some of its competitors, so people looking for the most lightweight and portable machine might consider other ultrabook options (to be fair though, those lighter offerings are more expensive, so there is a tradeoff.)
Overall size specs on the machine are 13.38 inches wide, 9.28 inches deep and 0.78 inches thick (again, not quite as thin as some competitors in the ultrabook arena).
This is still an ultrabook by definition, without a doubt, as it is very portable, it's just not quite as "ultra" as some of the competitors.
The ENVY 4 has a well-designed chiclet-style keyboard, with amply spaced keys. Continued...
The function keys on the top row double as various controls (volume up/down, mute, media controls like fast-forward and play, etc.). Despite limited space in an ultrabook design, HP has gotten all the necessary keys in a very user-friendly package.
A backlit keyboard is offered for an extra $20, and I would highly recommend it, especially if you do a lot of your work at night like I do.
The touchpad on the ENVY 4 is very responsive, and can be turned off by simply double tapping the top left corner of the touchpad itself. It's large enough, but not so large that it causes accidental cursor movement, something I rarely experienced during my time with the ENVY 4.
The screen size on the ENVY 4 is 14 inches, just about the perfect size for a laptop in my opinion -- not too big, not too small. The native resolution on the ENVY 4 is 1366 x 768 pixels, meaning 720p video will play without any delays, but full HD 1080p video will require some buffering time. There is no option to upgrade to a full-HD 1080p screen, and I would have liked to see that as an option for folks who wanted it.
Still, what's offered is a sharp, crisp screen that should make most users very happy, and will provide an enjoyable media viewing experience — whether it be movies on Netflix and other services, or light game play or online video watching.
The touchscreen on the ENVY 4 was very responsive, and helpful at times when maneuvering around the Web or using certain programs.
Touchscreens are the route many laptop makers are going with their new Windows 8 machines, and for good reason, as Windows 8 is made with touchscreens in mind. Windows 8 is still new, so if you get it for the first time there will be an adjustment period. But it doesn't take long to learn it, and once you do you'll be glad you have a touchscreen machine.
PROCESSOR, RAM Continued...
The HP ENVY 4 line comes with the latest Intel chips. My machine had a very speedy i5 processor that stood up well even through serious multitasking, but the base model will come with a slower i3 processor. The i3 isn't exactly a slow processor, but if you're used to speedy performance I would recommend the i5.
My machine also had 4 GB of RAM, which helps with the smooth operation of the machine and should be enough for most users. Power users can upgrade to as much as 8 GB of RAM for even speedier performance and multitasking.
The machine comes with 500 GB of storage, a solid number that should be enough for most people, especially with so much being stored in the cloud these days.
Battery life on the ENVY 4 was decent, but not the best I've seen on an ultrabook got about 5 hours of life from the battery, less than the seven-hour capability listed by HP.
The machine comes with a 4-cell battery, and there are no battery upgrades, so you get what you get. Settings can be adjusted on the machine to allow for better battery life, and the life will depend on what programs you are using most often.
In terms of ports, the essentials are there on the HP ENVY 4, with 2 SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports (for faster data transfer); 1 USB 2.0 ports; 1 HDMI port (which you can use to transfer your computer's screen to your HDTV); and slots for headphones and microphone plug-ins. Due to the smaller size of the ultrabook, there is no disc drive -- so if you want to use discs you'll need an external disc drive, an accessory that is offered by HP.
The base price on the HP ENVY Touchsmart Ultrabook 4 is $749, but that will feature a slower i3 processor. The unit I had featured an upgrade to Windows 8 Professional (with extra features for business customers), a backlit keyboard, and the upgrade to an i5 processor, with a pricetag of $914.99. Most people won't need Windows 8 Professional, so if you get the standard consumer edition of Windows 8 with the other specs I had, you'd pay $844.99. Continued...
Overall, this isn't my absolute favorite ultrabook I've seen due to the extra weight and so-so battery life compared to the competition. But it holds its own in other categories, as the overall design, performance and specs are very impressive.
Also, the starting price is quite a bit lower than many of the ultrabook competition (some start at more than $1,000), and that's often one of the biggest considerations customers have. So even though it's not perfect, this ultrabook should get its share of customers.

Long story short - I'm having trouble getting HttpInvoker remote clients wired up via autowiring and java configuration.
This is the thing I want to autowire the field of (specifically, the DbServerInfo as a HttpInvoker)And this is the relevant part of my configurationCode:class RelayQMessageHandler implements MessageHandler { private Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(this.getClass()) @Autowired DbServerInfo dbServerInfo void handleMessage(Message<?> message) throws MessagingException { SmtpRelayMessage smtpMsg = message.payload as SmtpRelayMessage log.debug "RelayQMessageHandler: $message" String echoValue = dbServerInfo.echoString("mesasge from $smtpMsg.from") log.info "server reply: $echoValue" } }
If I put this in SmtpRelayServer.xml, everything's peachy:Code:@Configuration @ImportResource(["classpath:/org/st/fort/smtprelay/SmtpRelayServer.xml"]) class AppConfig { @Bean RelayQMessageHandler relayQMessageHandler(){ RelayQMessageHandler handler = new RelayQMessageHandler() return handler } }
But I don't like wiring my beans with XML, this is the last thing to figure out and I can get rid of the XML file completely - so I want to configure the httpinvoker via the java configuration mechanism.Code:<bean id="httpInvokerProxy" class="org.springframework.remoting.httpinvoker.HttpInvokerProxyFactoryBean"> <property name="serviceUrl" value="http://localhost:4242/fort-db-server/api/myDbServerInfo2"/> <property name="serviceInterface" value="org.st.fort.dbserver.shared.remote.DbServerInfo"/> </bean>
The thing I found some people were recommending to do (or similar) was:
But that doesn't work because it will fail to autowire (spring says no beans of type DbServerInfo) - oddly though, if I grab an ApplicationContext and call "appCtx.getBean(DbServerInfo)" that will work fine. So the looking up the object by the remote interface works fine directly on the ApplicationContext - but you can't autowire by it.Code:String dbInfoUrl = "http://localhost:4242/fort-db-server/api/myDbServerInfo2" @Bean HttpInvokerProxyFactoryBean dbServerInfoProxy() { HttpInvokerProxyFactoryBean proxy = new HttpInvokerProxyFactoryBean() proxy.serviceInterface = DbServerInfo proxy.serviceUrl = dbInfoUrl return proxy }
So, after a fair bit of faffing about, the closest I could come up with was to add this to my AppConfig:
That works and will autowire - but because we're actually creating the remote client with that afterPropertiesSet/proxy.getObject combo, I can't change the url via a PropertyOverrideConfigurern (being my much preferred configuration mechanism).Code:String dbInfoUrl = "http://localhost:4242/fort-db-server/api/myDbServerInfo2" @Bean DbServerInfo dbServerInfo() { HttpInvokerProxyFactoryBean proxy = new HttpInvokerProxyFactoryBean() proxy.serviceInterface = DbServerInfo proxy.serviceUrl = dbInfoUrl proxy.afterPropertiesSet() return proxy.object as DbServerInfo }
I read this post, but I couldn't see a good way to use a PropertyOverrideConfigurer with it.
I also tried to bring in this old copy of the ConfigurationSupport class to help me out: https://github.com/jbaruch/spring-ja...ration-support
It looks like it's designed to do exactly what I want, but somehow the serviceUrl of the proxy gets set to null and then the init method of the httpinvokerproxyfactory freaks out.
Any suggestions on how I can do this with the java config and have the remote proxy be autowired and override configured properly?

socializing was a thing i did, then i realized that i didnt need to do it anymore because the good players would know my name and want to talk with me.
and besides, i never said i didnt help my guildmates, we were just super ruthless and demanding of each other. perfection was a requirement, tbqh, the druid subforum was the nicest to eachother because almost all of the druids were girls.
and it was pretty much required to call out someone when they fucked up.
i didnt play with pubbies often because they were almost all trash, and kept insisting that they "couldn't play better"
5 man dungeons got boring after the 2nd time i ran them for frost badges, ugh.
