Exciting news! As of January 1,2014 we are the Springs division of One Pediatrics.
Several pediatric practices in the Louisville area have joined together to enable us to serve our patients more thoroughly and efficiently. Some of the benefits will occur behind the scenes like making our office more equipped to be a medical home to your child. Some are more evident like going to a premier electronic medical records system that will soon allow you to access parts of your child's medical records at your leisure through the Patient Portal. Work on the portal is progressing and should be available soon. More details to follow.
There have been some bumps in the road such as the issue with Humana. The timing on the credentialing process took longer than expected BUT rest assured that ALL of the claims that were rejected as out of network WILL be resubmitted and should be processed without undue burden to you.
As always we appreciate your patience as we make this transition.

Laguna Beach Unified School District board candidates put their stances on the table at Thursday's forum at Top of the World Elementary. Incumbents pushed consistency and practicality, while newcomers argued they would bring a fresh perspective to the board.
The forum was hosted by the League of Women's Voters and Laguna Beach PTA.
Jan Vickers and William Landsiedel are the incumbents. Vickers, a former educator and artist, has served a combined 22 years on the board, starting in 1981. This would be her fourth term if reelected. Landsiedel, an attorney and college lecturer, has been on the board for four years and served a six-month term in 2006.
Tammy Keces most recently taught first grade at New Horizon Elementary School, a private Islamic school in Irvine. She was a volunteer Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) teacher at Top of the World in 2009, she said.
Dee Namba Perry is a retired teacher who taught at El Morro Elementary and Top of the World. She was also a speech pathologist at Thurston Middle School.
All of the candidates either had children or currently have children in the district.
For more information on the candidates, click here.
Should kindergarten be a full day?
The question was posed whether the candidates supported a half-day kindergarten or if they wanted a transition to a full day.
Both Keces and Perry were in agreement that a full day would allow more instructional time and argued that although the children get tired, they'd get used to it over time.
Perry argued that as a teacher she barely had 45 minutes of instructional time in a half-day schedule after calculating time spent in the library, recess, snack and using computers.
Vickers said that although it seems that instructional time is shortened, other activities kindergartners participate in — such as using computers — is learning and shouldn't be counted as time outside the classroom. Like many student issues there is a "real mix of parent feelings" when it comes to lengthening the day, she said.
Some children are older in kindergarten and some kids are younger and not developmentally ready for that much instructional time, she said. If a change were to happen, it would require collaboration of the assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction, teachers and the new common core standards.
Landsiedel said he was torn on the issue and thought that children today already have enough pressure academically.
He said that the half day is strenuous on teachers and that it seemed to be enough for the children.
"Right now, I don't see a compelling reason to change," he said.
Improving programming
Incumbents Landsiedel and Vickers touted the success of PLC, or professional learning communities, where teachers gather together and discuss best first instruction — sharing what works best for their students and what to do when a student requires an intervention.
"For years I heard teachers say they wanted time to get together and talk and solve some of these problems," Vickers said.
"We saw tremendous gains in every school," Landsiedel said, crediting the PLCs. He said the school outperformed Los Alamitos High School in API, which Los Alamitos said it thought was due to PLCs.
Perry said that since test scores are high, attention should be paid to other areas such as writing skills. She said past students have come to her and said they didn't feel as prepared after high school when it came to writing. She also wants to focus on character development through schoolwork.
"These API scores are important but won't be as important rolling forward," Keces said.
She cited a new computer program that will assess students skills throughout the weeks, which will offer the opportunity for project-based learning.
Nutrition reform
Both Keces and Perry were in agreement that nutrition could be improved at the district.
"There's about three or four days a month he'll eat at Top of the World," Keces said about her son. "If he could eat every day, he would."
Keces said that the "fake cheese" from sandwiches was being smushed into a ball and thrown by children.
Perry acknowledged the work of the Nutrition Committee, which Jan Vickers was on.
"I know that the Nutrition Committee worked very, very hard on this," Perry said. "Some people were putting in 20 hours a week besides a full-time job and children and didn't feel like they were really listened to."
Perry said although healthy items are on the menu, such as black bean pizza, she didn't know how palatable they were to children.
Vickers pointed out that the bureaucratic system isn't as simple as throwing bad food from your fridge into the trash. She said the district plans to do taste tests at Thurston Middle School, which they haven't done before, and will continue to do it at the elementary and high school level.
Landsiedel argued that the committee's ideas were heard.
"We pretty much put in every suggestion they wanted," he said, citing Farm to School, Chefs to School and the salad bar programs. He also noted grass fed beef and free range chicken items in the cafeterias and the upcoming Wave Rider Café at Thurston.
He said the revisions cost the district hundreds of thousands of dollars. He pointed out that the sites are schools first, not restaurants. He also mentioned that only 18% purchase school lunches.

The shipping and logistics industry is changing. Cloud computing is making it easier for companies at different levels of the supply chain to communicate and collaborate with one another. Self-driving vehicle technologies are poised to make shipping faster and more cost effective than ever. Amazon is getting closer to making its drone delivery service a reality.
Last mile shipping, in particular, has become increasingly complex with the advent of e-commerce. With more and more companies shipping products to our homes and businesses, the last mile shipping infrastructure in many cities has proven itself to be fragmented and inefficient. That's why the University of Washington is teaming up with retailers, freight carriers, urban planners, city officials and logistics experts to find creative new solutions to common problems in last mile shipping operations.
The City of Seattle is contributing $285,000 to kick start UW's new Urban Freight Lab, and the school has signed on UPS, Nordstrom and Costco as its first industry collaborators. The lab will be operated by the school's Supply Chain Transportation & Logistics department (SCTL). The researchers' first task will be to map the existing freight infrastructure in Seattle and gain a comprehensive picture of how deliveries are processed throughout the city. Then, they'll use computer simulations and real-world testing to assign "Freight Scores" to various locations around the city. These scores will be based on how easy it is for truck drivers to access drop-off points in the area.
Once the lab has identified problem areas in Seattle, they'll work with the city and private stakeholders to improve truck access and find more efficient delivery routes for freight carriers. If the Urban Freight Lab is able to improve last mile shipping efficiency in Seattle, the researchers' ideas may be adopted in other cities as well. As they expand their network of industry partners, they'll be able to gain even more insights into the potential pitfalls of last mile shipping infrastructures in the future. Before too long, we might even be putting their ideas to work right here in Buffalo!

High School Football
Ball emerging as Blaine's big-play target
When Blaine sophomore Anthony Ball was playing fullback in middle school, he knew eventually he'd be a wide receiver.
Ball's always been a standout on the football field, but growing up his size and strength development didn't match his ever-improving skill.
"They noticed everyone was growing, but I wasn't growing as much with them, so I wasn't built for fullback," Ball explained. "They tried me out at wideout, and they noticed that was a good spot for me."
That good spot has been more of a great fit for the Borderites' sophomore, whose 15 catches for 271 yards and four touchdowns rank fifth among Northwest Conference wide receivers this year.
What's arguably more impressive than Ball's ability to play so well so young has been his rapid rise to becoming Blaine's go-to target.
Ball, although he admitted he's always had good hands, never played the wide receiver position before high school. Once moved out wide, Ball's been forced to learn all the minute route-running, footwork and blocking details required to become a strong wide receiver.
Ball quickly made such an impression on coach Jay Dodd that six weeks into his freshman year he was suiting up Friday nights.
"Last year we had Josiah Westbrook, and we were kind of searching for someone to put opposite of him," Dodd explained. "Anthony was just doing really well at the freshman level. I got to watch a few freshman games, so we brought him up for a few practices, and he started to click right away with Nathan (Kramme). We said, 'Heck with playing on the freshman team, why don't you come up and play Fridays?'"
Ball led the Borderites with five catches for 79 yards and two touchdowns his first varsity game, a lopsided win against Friday Harbor in Week 6 last season, and Ball's knack for making big plays has been evident ever since.
His latest case came last week during Blaine's 20-19 win over Sehome when Ball bounced back from a late fumble to catch a game-winning 12-yard TD pass from Kramme.
"I think he's just a competitor," Dodd said. "He'll try to get as many yards and score as many touchdowns throughout the game, but when it comes to the end of the game, I think he's very confident in himself and confident in his ability and kind of likes that moment of having the last play or having the last couple of minutes come down to himself making a play."
Ball agreed. He relishes making plays in pressure-packed moments.
"I like being in a bigger role," said Ball, who's been added to Blaine's secondary this season. "It puts more pressure on me and makes me a better player. I just like having the pressure on me, and making plays (under) pressure, it's just the best feeling in the world."
Kramme knows a thing or two about Ball's ability to contribute early in his career. The Borderites senior quarterback also played as a freshman, and while the 5-foot-10, 175-pound Ball may not yet have prototypical size, Kramme said he has all the intangibles a QB desires in a trusty receiver.
The duo's strong rapport began last year during, translated into the offseason and now seems stronger than ever.
"It's no secret, Anthony's not the tallest, he's not the strongest and he's not the fastest," Kramme said, "but I know he's going to give 100 percent, and I know he is going to do everything in his power to come down with the ball, so I couldn't ask for anything else."
And Ball's development couldn't have arrived at a better time. With the offseason departure of Westbrook to Squalicum, a major void existed in Blaine's receiving corp. Veteran wideout Cody Gobbato has played well, but no one has been quite matched both Ball's reliability and big-play aptitude.
Dodd credited Ball's success, beyond his strong knowledge of the game, to his route-running and innate hand-eye coordination.
And while Ball's made enough plays he's no longer surprising teammates, sometimes he still shocks himself.
"Some catches are like, 'I really caught that?' Ball said. "It gets me sometimes, and I know that it makes me feel like I can catch these balls."

The Last Island
By George Sterling
What prow shall find It? On the charts Our own is made the final land; But visions of a farther Strand We find at evening in our hearts. Then gazing from the headland's height, We seem to see, remote and clear, A living radiance appear On jacinth terraces of light. Deep in the sunset fire it glows, Whose dusky scarlet, shoaling north, Lures grey or youthful dreamer forth To seek the tone horizon's rose. What golden people call it home? We too would learn their mythic tongue, And listen to the saga sung Beyond the coral and the foam. But many doubt and many scorn, So transitory burned that fire, An ember of the sunset's pyre That died on solitudes forlorn. Westward the purple deepens fast, Horizon to infinity; Mirage is on that changeful sea— Illusions of the feigning Vast. Our oldest seaman knew a day When, staring from his galley's beak, He seemed to see a vesper peak, Faint, visionary, far away— A ghost of pearl, a shadow far, So dim he could not trust his eyes; Then, where it faded on the skies, Gazing again he saw a star. And ships have vanished in the West Whose mariners we knew awhile; Perchance, we say, they found that Isle, And ended there the dream and quest. The coastwise keels deny the tale. Beyond, they saw but ocean gleam; Another port, their captains deem, Harbors the unreturning sail. Who shall decide? For still that Land Seems not of futile mystery; Unresting stars and peaceless sea May well perturb the compass-hand. Tho where it gleamed the wave is blue On brine a thousand fathom deep. The vision and the hope we keep The sunset solitudes renew— Of some far dusk when, Eden-eyed, Its happy folk shall welcome us, By sands no longer fabulous And foam of that enchanted tide.

- When you create a new sales work item, you will be updating three tables – making an entry in those 3 tables.
- You made an entry in work table successfully, but when you commit an entry in customer table, the operation failed.It means, work table entry is of no use, since the operation failed to update the other tables.
Pega provides a solution here 🙂 – Deferred Save.
You can commit all the details at once. If anyone table update fails, then the other commits are rolled back 🙂
What is deferred list?
- Imagine this as a page list, which contains the commit operations waiting in queue to get committed in database.
Let's come back to method parameters 🙂
Write Now –
True – The clipboard page will be committed to the database at once. No instances are added to deferred list.
False – It means we are not writing the instance now. We are sending the instance to wait in the deferred list queue.
WithErrors – You can also commit the clipboard, even if it contains error.
Note: Always keep it un-checked. Pega don't recommend you to save an error clipboard page to database table.
OnlyIfNew –
True – Only insert operation is performed. Default keep it un-checked.
Let's test the method parameters 🙂
Step 1: create a new activity and add a page-new method.
Step 2: Do a property-set pyID='A-1'.
Note: Case A-1 already exist in database.
We updated customer name from "PremG" to "PremChecksave"
Step 3: Add a Obj-Save method. First we will check writenow-true.
Step 4: Trace open the rule and run the activity.
You can see commit operation is executed 🙂
Step 5: check in the DB table. Customer name is updated.
Step 6: Update the property customername="Premkumar" and un-check the WriteNow parameter.
Step 7: Trace open the rule and run the activity.
You can see no commit operation is performed.
Step 8: Check in the database table.
- You can see, customer name is not updated.
- The save operation instance is added to the deferred list.
Step 9: Now add a Commit method.
Step 10: Trace open the run and run the activity.
You can see the record commited in database table.
Step 10: Verify the table.
Done 🙂
What are the things to remember when you use Obj-Save method?
- Make sure there is no error message associated with the step page, when you do a Obj-Save
- We know activities can of different types. Some activity types are explicitly referred in flows – utility, notify, assign, route. When you use obj-Save in such activity types, do not check Write-Now option. This is because, in flow standard activities help in committing 🙂
- When you need to update any case(locking enabled), make sure if lock is obtained for the requestor session.
2. Obj-Save-Cancel
- This method is used to cancel the uncommitted Obj-Save method.
When do we use this method?
- Use this method, only when you need to cancel the uncommitted Obj-Save instance.
Remember, when we do Obj-Save with write now un-checked, the instance is queued to deferred list. When we do commit, all instances in the deferred list will be committed in the database.
In some situation, we need to remove particular Obj-Save instances before committing into database table.
Note: When you need to remove all instances from the deferred list, then use Rollback method.
What are the method parameters?
No Parameters required 🙂
Yes, we don't require any parameter right!!. We just remove the uncommitted Obj-Save instance.
Provide a step page, that contains the case details.
Let's test it.
Step 1: Create a new test activity.
Step 2: Add 2 new pages – ActivePage1, ActivePage2
Step 3: Add 2 property-set steps to update the cases – A-1 & A-2
I am updating customer name 🙂
Step 4: Do 2 obj-saves on ActivePage1 & ActivePage2 with write-now parameter unchecked.
So when step 6 got executed, then 2 Obj-Save instances will be added to the deferred list.
Step 5: Add a Obj-Save-Cancel method, followed by commit method.
Step 6: Before running the activity, check the customer names for case A-1 & A-2.
Step 7: Now run the activity and check the database again.
- You can see only Case A-1 is updated, because we cancelled the Obj-Save for A-2.
Note: I hope earlier versions, Obj-Save-Cancel removes the most uncommitted Obj-Save instance from the deferred list. Irrespective of the step page you provide!! Please test it on your own 🙂
3. RDB-Save
- This method is save the contents of a clipboard page to database table
When do we use this method?
- Just like Obj-save method, RDB-Save is used to insert a new entry (INSERT) or update any existing entry (UPDATE) in the database table.
You don't require any locking here. You can directly go and update any columns in any table.
But remember, whenever you need to update any internal PegaRULES table, then use Obj-Save method.
- If external tables are not mapped to pega class, then you can go with RDB-Save method.
What are the method parameters?
Same like, other RDB methods 🙂
RequestType – Specify the request type of the Connect-SQL rule ( We can call it as rule name)
Access – Package name of the Connect-SQL rule
ClassName – Specify the class that include the Connect-SQL rule
RunInParallel – You can execute the Connect-SQL rule to execute in parallel.
Step 1: Open the same connect-SQL
Step 2: Update the Save tab with the Update query.
You can see the values CustomerName & pyID are set dynamically from the page 'ActivePage'
Note: ASIS keyword is used to restrict substituting the values dynamically inside double quotes.
Step 3: Create a new test activity and set the CustomerName and pyID values.
Step 3: Use the RDB-Save method.
Step 4: Run the activity and check in the tracer.
You can see the SQL query.
Step 5: Now check in the database table.
What are the things to remember when you use RDB-Save method?
- You can use a directive {SQLPage:<pagename>} as a first line of the SQL code. So whenever the SQL query gets executed, then the page(<pagename>) gets created. If error occur, then the properties in that page will contain the error details.
Differences between Obj-Save and RDB-Save method:
a) In Obj-save method, you have an option to delay committing the changes in DB. You can add te Obj-Save instance to deferred list and can be processed later point of time. RDB-Save method always commit the changes as soon as the method gets executed.
b) You can update the blob properties in Obj-Save method where as in RDB-Save you can update only properties that are exposed columns.
c) You can use Commit or rollback methods to control the Obj-Save method.
d) If locking is enable for the instance, then you can update using Obj-Save only when lock is acquired. Locking is not required for RDB-Save method.
e) There may be some situation, where you need to update a column in millions of records. In such situation, you can use RDB-Save method. If you use Obj method, then you may require millions of DB connection to update the records.
So always, think and use wisely 🙂
4. Obj-Delete
- This method helps in deleting and instance from database table
When do we use this method?
- Whenever, we need to delete any instance from database table.
It's like we are deleting an entry from the database table.
- There are some restrictions in using Obj-Delete method.
- You can use this method, only when the Object/Instance is already opened in the clipboard page.
- You will be using the same page as step page for Obj-Delete method.
What are the method parameters?
- Same like Obj-Save, this method too support deferred committing the instance
Remove –
True – system deletes the step page from the clipboard, as well as deleting the instance from database table
False – then the page will not be removed from the clipboard. You can use Page-Remove method to delete the page.
Immediate –
True – the system commits the changes immediately. I mean the record will be deleted as soon the method gets executed.
False – then the system adds the Obj-Delete instance to the deferred list.
When the next commit occurs, then the changes are committed to the database table
Let's test the Obj-delete method.
Step 1: Create a new test activity
Step 2: Add a Obj-Open method and open the A-1 instance.
Step 3: Add a Obj-Delete method with the same step page – 'ActivePage'.
Step 4: Trace open the rule and run the activity.
Let me explain what happens at the back end.
Whenever Obj-Delete method gets executed
Step 1: System first checks the step page class.
Step 2: System, then checks if locking is enabled for that class.
If no, then no issues, system will go ahead and delete the instance.
If Yes, then
Step 3: System browse the pr_Sys_Locks table and check if the current requestor holds the locks for the class instance.
If lock is not held, then you get the above error.
Step 4: Now enable locking in the Obj-Open method.
Step 6: Trace open the rule and run the activity.
You can see, all the index records too deleted for the case A-1. You can see 5 delete instances.
Step 7: Check in the database table. You can see the record got deleted 🙂
What are the things to remember when you use Obj-Delete method?
- Always open the object/instance, acquire lock if required, then delete the instance using Obj-Delete method, else you may end up with error.
- System automatically performs index processing. It means it clears the indexes in different index tables.
5. Obj-Delete-By-Handle
- This method is used to open any instance using Handle
When do we use this method?
- This method is same as Obj-Delete method.
We saw before, Obj-Delete method, requires opening the instance before deleting.
In Obj-Delete-By-Handle, we don't need to open the instance, we can directly delete the instance using pzInsKey
Obj-Delete-By-Handle = Obj-Open-By-Handle + Obj-Delete
What are the method parameters?
InstanceHandle – You specify the pzInsKey of the instance
Lock – If the class allows locking, then you should enable this to obtain the lock.
ReleaseOnCommit –
If True, lock held by the requestor will be released once we commit the changes to the database table.
If False, requestor will hold the lock even after commiting the changes. This may result in other people unable to update the instance.
Note: Always try to pair lock & ReleaseOnCommit to true. Only in some situation, you may need to retain the lock even after committing the changes.
LockInfoPage – the page to hold the lock details
Immediate – same like the previous methods.
If True, changes are committed at once.
If false, Obj-Delete instance is added to deferred list and will committed once the commit method get executed.
Let' test the method.
We are going to delete the A-2 instance.
Step 1: First open the database table and get the pzInsKey value.
Step 2: Add a new step Obj-Delete-By-Handle to delete the A-2 instance.
Provide the parameters as shown below.
Here we will test Rollback method
Rollback – This method withdraw any previous uncommitted database changes. Just like it removes all the instances from deferred list.
- Exact opposite of Commit method.
Step 3: Add a Rollback method.
Step 4: Trace open the rule and run the activity.
- You can see Rollback method, not only cancel the uncommitted changes, but also removes the sys lock entry.
Note: Sys lock entry will also be removed when you commit the changes.
Step 5: Verify the database table.
Record still persists.
Step 6: Now replace the rollback method will the commit method.
Step 7: Now run the activity and check in the database table.
Cool 🙂
What are the differences between Obj-Delete and Obj-Delete-By-Handle method?
- Obj-Delete requires the instance to be opened before hand. It means you need an additional step always before executing Obj-Delete. Obj-Delete-By-Handle method don't require the instance to be opened before. We can directly the instance in a single step.
- Obj-Delete-By-handle method requires pzInsKey as parameter while Obj-Delete don't require any parameter but.. remember the first point J
If you know the pzInskey, go ahead and use Obj-Delete-By-Handle 🙂
6. RDB-Delete
- This method is used to delete rows from the database table
When do we use this method?
- Use this method, when you need to delete one row or multiple rows from the database table.
This method refers to Connect-SQL rule to delete database table entries
The SQL query can contain DELETE, TRUNCATE or DROP sql statement.
What are the method parameters?
RequestType – Specify the request type of the Connect-SQL rule ( We can call it as rule name)
Access – Package name of the Connect-SQL rule
ClassName – Specify the class that include the Connect-SQL rule
RunInParallel – You can execute the Connect-SQL rule to execute in parallel.
Let's test the method
Step 1: Prepare the delete tab in Connect-SQL rule.
Step 2: Create a new test activity.
Step 3: Add a new step RDB-Delete.
Step 4: Check the database table for A-4.
Step 5: Trace open the rule and run the activity.
You can see the delete query got executed.
Step 6: Again check in the database table.
What are the differences between Obj-Delete and RDB-Delete method?
- Using Obj-Delete method, you can delete only a particular class instance, where in RDB-Delete method, you can delete more than one class instance
- Obj-Delete method always use a single where clause condition 'pzInsKey' to delete a instance, whereas RDB-Delete method can use more than one where clause condition.
- RDB-Delete method does not invoke any declaratives.
We are at the end of Obj vs RDB methods 🙂
One final difference between!!
What are the difference between Obj and RDB methods?
- Blob properties
Obj methods can update the blob properties while RDB methods can update only the exposed properties.
- Deferred Save option
Deferred save option is available only for Obj methods. It means we can delay committing in Obj methods. RDB methods commit as soon as the step got executed.
- SQL query formation
In Obj methods, System is responsible to form a query, whereas in RDB methods, we need to form an external query using Connect-SQL rule.
- Complex SQL query / Store procedure
Always try using Obj methods. I some situation, you may need to form a complex SQL query – multiple join or to call a store procedure. In such situation, you can prefer RDB methods.
Obj methods are always used to query a single instance, where as RDB methods are used to query multiple instances.
- Performance
Performance wise RDB methods are better comparing with Obj methods.
Let me stop here 🙂
If you guys find other differences, please post as a comment!
Catch you guys in next post 🙂

QMH (QM-handbook) according to DIN EN ISO 9001 ff. (ISO 9001:2000, ISO 9001:2008, ISO 9004 ff.)
The QMH (Quality Management Handbook) has to be created and implemented by every company wanting to introduce and certify quality management according to DIN EN ISO 9001 ff.. It describes all of a company's QM-related relevant processes. Work on and with documents is also exactly documented: which types of documents occur in the company and what the individual workflow, the lifecycle of a document of this type, looks like. E.g. the norm DIN EN ISO 9001 dictates a setup based on normed templates as well as the examination according to the double control principle. It also dictates the release / publishing as well as the management and archiving of outdated document versions. This is summarised under the term of Document Control in Quality Management. An electronic Document Management, such as bitfarm-Archiv, helps comfortably implementing the required procedures - documented in the QMH - within the company. It also helps supervising the procedures and provides added value.
The introduction and certification of a QM is mandatory in some economic sectors, e.g. the automobile industry. Not only the manufacturers, but also their suppliers, have to demonstate the introduction of a Quality Management System according to DIN EN ISO 9001 with the creation of a QMH and the subsequent audits / assessments. They also need to have it examined at regular intervals.

even though drywall tends to have along life, there are
times when you will find yourself needing to repair or replace
the wall, or perhaps needing to repair cracks in old plaster
walls with drywall. If so, the following tips are for you.
You should understand, though, that before you begin any
major construction project, you need to have an inspection
done just to make sure the house's mechanical work and insulation
are satisfactory. (This is step is probably not needed if
you're just filling in a few cracks or holes--only if you
plan to completely replace walls, or to install new ones)
you start your drywall construction, you need to do some
preparation work. The first step is to check the temperature.
The room where the work is to be done should be no colder
than 55 degrees for two consecutive days. Also, notice
the humidity. If it's quite low, make sure you have adequate
ventilation for the project.
next preparation step is to check the joists and studs.
Before you start putting up new drywall, these should be
straight and stable, spaced the correct distance apart,
with the nailing facing flush. Each corner must have nailers.
Make sure that the drywall edges are completely supported.
Also check inside the walls, making sure the insulation
is good and that you have vapor barriers. Also, make sure
there is no risk of drywall screws tearing through any pipe
or wire. If you notice that there are pipes or wires going
through a hole, make sure it's an inch or two from the wood's
inch. If not, you need to place a 1/16 inch metal plate
along the wood's edge to protect it.
all this, you need to figure out exactly how many drywall
sheets your project will require. This means you need to
measure the length and width of both ceiling and walls,
to arrive at their square footage. Add to this number ten
percent just to ensure that you'll have enough after waste.
Add together to arrive at the total square footage. Now
divide this number by 32 (if you're using four foot by eight
foot drywall sheets) or by 30 (if you're using four foot
by ten foot sheets). This will tell you how many drywall
sheets you'll need for your project.
you need to figure out how much of all other supplies you'll
need (such as joint compound, joint tape, screws and nails).
Here is a formula that will help you with this: For each
thousand square feet of drywall, get 140 lbs of joint compound
(ready-mix variety), 370 ft. joint tape, and 700 each of
nails and screws.
our last word on preparation for a drywall project: Stay
safe. Countless reports declare that respiratory problems
can result from breathing too much gypsum dust. It's also
been known to cause some eye irritation. For this reason,
before you start the drywall work, make sure you put on
safety glasses and a mask. Nothing ruins the joy of finishing
a project well like ruining your health in the process.

Brighton Gay Pride is located on the famous seaside resort just one hour south of London, and has become one of the most successful gay pride events in England. Brighton is the UK's 2nd gay city – after London, and offers lots of great restaurants, cafés and bars. Apart from the main Gay Pride Brighton march, there will be plenty of parties going on around the event – in the city's bars and clubs.
