ysvoice:| ♕ | Window of Berem Tower - Lisbon, Portugal | by Peter Gutierrez
Nerd alert.
OBSESSED with Echo Touch Gloves that let me instagram in crisp fall air!
Be back for my birthday, love you.
High Line: The Inside Story of New York City's Park in the Sky offers a intriguing look into the development and design of the iconic, beautiful park by the project's co-founders Joshua David and Robert Hammond. The book, perfectly designed by Pentagram, holds the story of how the High Line came to be, from the original elevated railway on Manhattan's west side until it's reclamation and urban renewal as an elevated park. With over 250 pages of photographs, High Line, is certainly attention worthy. But, perhaps, the book's most wonderful attribute is the artistic and design sensitive ideals that David and Hammond held so dearly in the production of the park.

I'm start noticing there inconsistent speed around 6pm - 12am. It started on Jan 14, 2013 and still continues as I post this message. I can't remain connected to irc without being disconnect every 10-30min. If I'm downloading a file, the speed goes up/down from 500kbps (which I usually get) to 10kbps. Before I have it get disconnect and have to redownload the file again. I can't even play bf3 on ps3 properly before I get kick out from the EA server due to lost connection.I wondering if anyone using primus near Leslie and Sheppard experience the same issue. One of the primus tech support told me that they plan to add another server. But can't guarantee if it will resolved the issue. One of the primus tech support told me do a speed test which I find it useless since 90% will show your good speed -_-
Hi - if you wouldn't mind sending an e-mail to email@example.com, to attention of the Internet Tech Support department manager, they may be able to review your account in greater detail that may have been missed by the front lines...
I had congestion issues the last month with Primus. They were not very helpful in realizing that it is congestion and not my line, although this was obvious. I cancelled my service and switched to electronic box and am much happier.
capacity issue is what they told me after i emailed, no timeline they will able to fixed since the custom equipment haven't arrive yet and no time frame when to install it. i'll give them by end of feb before i cancelled both phone and internet services and likely switch to distributel cable 18

Triple H, Stephanie McMahon and two of their children attended an MMA class taught by former WWE diva Eve Torres and her husband. Some pictures were posted on Instagram and Twitter, where the girls took a subtle jab at Matt Hardy while showcasing a choke hold.
Former TNA World Heavyweight Champion Mr Anderson revealed on Instagram that he is now a father after his wife gave birth to twins. His daughter is named Prescott Liberty Anderson, while his son is Pearce Remington Anderson.
"We both want kids. I want a little Miz running around, even though I know he is going to be the most annoying kid in the world. If he is anything like his father, then my God! I'm definitely preparing for that, but who knows how long that will be. There has definitely been talks, and my outlook on WWE is I'm still going to do as I always have. I'm going to work as hard as I can to entertain those audiences, whether it's on WWE or on a movie from WWE Studios."
Alberto Del Rio revealed on Twitter that this is the first time that he has gotten to spend Halloween with his kids.
When the nWo story line reached Japan, a version of the group was created. One of the members was Satoshi Kojima, who frequently teamed with Hiroshi Tenzan during his stint with the stable.
Satoshi Kojima made headlines last year by challenging AJ Styles for the TNA world title. He made even bigger headlines by defeating Rob Conway to become the new NWA World Heavyweight Champion after a match at annual January 4 Dome Show.
Satoshi Kojima began his wrestling career by loading trucks for New Japan Pro Wrestling. It took him several months to convince the school dojo to accept him.

[QUOTE=detbmw;824724]Do you think I could pull the two hand grips off and replace them with the stock closed-end grips you listed?[/QUOTE]
You should not have any problems doing that. I slid an ice pick in under my grips to break any seal there was between the grip and the bar to help it come off. Those grips
give some so you will have to work at it. It will take you a while to do. Just take your time.
If you get sick of trying, you can cut them off with a razor blade if they are not heated grips.
Like I said before, I am interested in the grips if you can save them. Just let me know what you want for them.

i agree with all the posts, if you want to sharpen you balance skills/feel/reflexes get a pushbike (bicycle) out, this will also increase your fitness levels, it will also work all the right muscle groups, and make your arse hard so your motorbike seat will feel like an armchair. On another point a faster rider in a group should always look after slower riders, if a slower riding is hanging onto his shirt tails then they should gap them by large enough distance so they are riding on they own before picking up the pass, like on the exit of a corner not on the entry or under braking into a corner.

Don't worry about the other riders' speeds. Speaking from experience, they probably don't care about your well being and will probably force you into a nasty situation if you try and keep up. The best thing to do is just go at a comfortable pace and emphasize good riding habits on the way. Considering 99.9% of us aren't WSBK immortals, the sooner you accept the fact that you are 'slow', the sooner you can start learning how to ride better which is more important anyway.
Take for instance when entering a corner. If you enter a turn at a rapid speed that makes you nervous, you're not going to give yourself enough time to settle the rear suspension with the throttle, which is the foundation of proper cornering. What's going to happen is the weight transfer is skewered and your front end is going to push out and make you run wide mid-corner and possibly into oncoming traffic. That's assuming you're still looking in the proper direction of the turn, which is unlikely if your nerves are shot. The easiest way to fix that isn't with an expensive Ohlins shock are cartridge kits for your forks but to retry the corner 10-15 mph slower upon entry than what you were doing. You'll have more time to get focused and with a little practice you'll establish a mental link from your brain, to your wrist, to the rear tire and you'll double your riding confidence. Taking this kind of skill set to a track day and working with the right instructor is extremely rewarding, and eventually you'll forget all about the people who left you for dead in pursuit of trivial egos, that is until they stuff you in a corner to try and intimidate your proficient but humble new found attitude. That can really throw a wrench in your mental cogs.
Just take baby steps and pay attention to all the signs your bike is telling you along the way. If you keep at it, you will improve!

Dont try to keep if it scares you.
I use to go out riding with a ex- superstock rider. couldnt keep up without crapping myself. So i ride at my own pace. Thats when most accidents happen riding out of you limit. Try doing some trackdays its well worth it. And get some new riding mates who ride at a sensible pace.

What you don't do is try to keep up if it is beyond your capabilities. If you ride at your own pace and enjoy the ride then whats the problem. If they cant wait for you then surely they cant be that much of a mate.
I go on ride outs with all sorts of bikes and riders. We agree at the start to ride at our own pace and organise routine stops to all catch up. It means everyone can have a good time whatever their speed.

First of all never ride outside your comfort zone, you will have an accident. if your so called mates all take off and leave you behind then they're not really your mates, try telling them you have problems keeping up, ask them for their help and advice, if that dont get you anywhere you can always get help from a rider training school or do a bike safe course or better still take an IAM course, dont be embarrassed to ask for help, it could save your life Your mates might tell you its boring but believe me its not, you'll get some brilliant advice, some great training all done in a friendly no pressure way at you own pace and at the end of it you;ll be a better, safer rider and you'll get tons more pleasure from your bike and when you go on an IAM ride out you wont be left behind. The other plus side is you'll make new biking mates who really will be your mates...

I stopped riding in groups years ago. It's too bloody dangerous. Too many people want to show the world what brilliant riders they are (yeah, right) and end up hurting themselves and others.
Find a couple of guys who enjoy riding for the same reasons you do, and at the same pace as you. They almost certainly won't be sport bike riders.

When my mate used to ride, he was a lot faster than me, mostly due to experience. I don't mind admitting it though. I took training and got better, but my mate was still faster, and probably always would have been till he sold his bike to settle down etc.
But I always remind him of a time in the alps when he went tearing off ahead of me, until on one ascent he was about 2 bends infront, till he fell off getting his knee down on some poor surface with some loose stuff. Had to sit for hours waiting to get picked up....
So advice wise, just go at what you're comfortable at (I still do). Training is well worth it too. Avoid huge groups. Your mate should know he's faster, so if he does bugger off and then not wait - he ain't your mate!

Got one mate who's way faster than me, but the downside is he takes far more risks than me. Since he is a mate I would hold back until he chills a bit then I could enjoy the ride.
If he wasn't a friend I'd just do enough to stay in sight and he'd either bugger off or fall off! Guess how much I'd care about either!
Well don't start cut corners trying to keep up, in fact if you can't get round the corner only using your side of the road then you don't have the skills required to get round the corner, you can tell when someone is going faster than they can ride because they start cutting over the white lines through lots of bends and or start going onto the wrong side of the road to get a racing line, But on the other hand it so funny when they go to cut a corner and there is a car coming the other way and you see them panic braking and getting all out of shape. So stay on your side of the road and stay safe.

Welcome to my live blogging of Heat-Bucks!
Don't forget to follow me on twitter @jaebradley or All U Can Heat on twitter @allucanheat1!
Second Quarter:
0.0 — Brandon Jennings hoists last shot, misses long-range three. Jennings leads all scorers with 18, LeBron has 15.
31.0 — LeBron great pass to Dwayne Wade — and an even better finish!
1:30 — Bosh with a midrange jumper. #MidRangeMaster
2:00 — Monta Ellis feeds Mbah a Moute for an easy dunk…how did he get so open?
2:36 — Brandon Jennings now has 18 points, and the Bucks are within three.
3:20 — Brandon Jennings is putting the Bucks ON HIS BACK. LeBron might need to guard BJ3 at some point — he has 16 points on 5-11 shooting.
4:26 — LeBron should have just gone up with that instead of forcing the pass. When he drives, he is impossible to stop. Either he gets a good look, or he'll get fouled. Take your pick.
6:00 — Monta Ellis is currently 3-7. He's not hitting his shots, it is just me.
6:00 — Wow, crazy sequence. Monta Ellis hustles hard and saves the ball, only for it to lead to a missed Ilyasova left hook shot.
6:43 — The Bucks are currently shooting 18.2% from three point range. They are 2 for 11.
7:00 — Great save by Ray Allen — then almost crashes into the ref.
8:00 — Great double team by The Birdman on Ilyasova.
Commercial Update:
That Google Chrome "Momma" ad was probably one of the most annoying ads ever.
P.S — Geico Commercials are the best:
9:00 – Monta Ellis hits another 3…is it me or is Monta Ellis actually hitting his shots?
9:00 — J.J. Reddick just picked up his second foul guarding Ray Allen. Ray Allen is 37 years old. J.J. Reddick is 28. That should tell you how slow J.J. Reddick is.
10:00 – The Birdman gets an offensive rebound and finds Battier in the corner, but Battier misses…again.
11:00 — Wade finds Battier for an open three in the corner. Shane's gotta make that. Heat shooting 61.1% fromt he field.

In the past couple of days, we have examined the outfield, infield, and starting pitching units for the 2014 Atlanta Braves, and with that, there is one group left to focus on before Monday's season opener. In 2013, the Braves bullpen was exceptional, but with guys like Eric O'Flaherty (in Oakland) and Scott Downs (in Chicago) gone from last year's bullpen and Cory Gearrin having injury concerns, there is a "wide open" aspect to the group after the end-of-game options.
Without further ado, let's get to the players.
Closer – Craig Kimbrel
This may be the easiest passage to write for any member of our staff this Spring. 25-year-old Craig Kimbrel just concluded the most dominant 3-year run by a reliever in the history of baseball. Don't believe me? Let's take a look at his numbers from each season.
- 2011 – 77 innings, 2.10 ERA, 14.84 K/9, 46 saves, 3.1 fWAR
- 2012 – 62.2 innings, 1.01 ERA (!!!!), 16.66 K/9 (!!!!), 42 saves, 3.3 fWAR
- 2013 – 67 innings, 1.21 ERA, 13.16 K/9, 50 saves, 2.2 fWAR
In short, Kimbrel is the best closer in baseball right now, and aside from the built-in concerns about relief pitchers and their short shelf-life in general, there is nothing in the way of worry for the right-handed flamethrower.
High-leverage options – Jordan Walden & David Carpenter
While everyone remembers one member of this group for an unfortunate home run he allowed in April, both guys were extremely effective in 2013. Walden battled injuries throughout the season that only allowed him to throw 47 innings, but he struck out batters at a very nice clip (10.34 K/9) and his peripherals suggest that his 3.45 ERA was a bit unlucky. In the case of Carpenter, it's easy to forget just how lights-out he was (1.78 ERA, 10.14 K/9), but that would be a flat-out mistake.
Walden has a longer record and a more established pedigree, but both guys can be considered relatively "safe" in the 7th/8th inning, and that is an encouraging sign. It would certainly be beneficial if one of them was left-handed, but beggars can't be choosers, and both guys should be effective in their roles for this season's edition of the Atlanta Braves.
The Lefties – Luis Avilan & Ian Thomas
Avilan was the lone left-hander with a "guaranteed" roster spot, but he isn't void of question marks. Yes, the 24-year-old had a sparkling 1.52 ERA over 65 innings (75 appearances) last season, but with a FIP of 3.28 and an xFIP of 4.02, it is a relatively safe projection to think that the ERA will regress. Avilan's main issue that the metrics don't like is his lack of strikeouts, and it is almost rare to see a bullpen guy turn in an effective campaign while striking out 5.26 batters per 9 innings. His minor league stats indicate that is a bit of an aberration, though, and Avilan is a solid option considering the circumstances.
Thomas was battling it out for a bullpen spot from the start of Spring Training, and he emerged as the winner, mostly because of the failings of others. The 26-year-old appeared in 11 games (10.1 innings) and allowed only 3 runs (2.61 ERA) while striking out 13 batters this spring. Combine that with quality numbers in the minor leagues (ERA around 3.00, strikeout rate over 10.00 K/9), and the Braves could have a sleeping giant on the left-handed side of the bullpen.
The Wild Card – Jonny Venters
Venters will start the season on the disabled list, but he is the single biggest Wild Card to the proceedings. The left-hander won't return to the Major League bullpen until at least June (per various estimates), but Venters is just three seasons removed from being arguably the best set-up man in baseball, and he was actually quite effective in 2012 before succumbing to Tommy John surgery.
No one is expecting that the "old" Venters (ERA's of 1.95 and 1.84 in 2010 and 2011) is going to reappear, but if he can rediscover the power pitching that made him dominant, the Braves could have an impressive late-inning option from the left side that doesn't currently exist.
The Long Man – Gus Schlosser
It's important to note that 25-year-old right-hander Gus Schlosser could have been in the rotation to open the season, but with David Hale having a longer track record, it has been reported that Schlosser will serve as the long man. Despite his relatively advanced age, Schlosser has never pitched above double-A, and while he was quite good there in 2013 (2.39 ERA in 135.1 innings), the upside is relatively low for him given his lack of strikeout potential. Still, Schlosser was quite effective during Spring Training (2.03 ERA over 13.1 innings), and that won him the nod.
The "Others" – Anthony Varvaro & Ryan Buchter
Not everyone in a bullpen is a long man, set-up man or a closer, and the other guys land here. 29-year-old right-hander Anthony Varvaro joined the Atlanta Braves bullpen for his first full season in 2013, and he was quite effective, posting a 2.82 ERA over 73.1 innings. Still, he isn't terribly dominant in any aspect, has a low strikeout ceiling (career 7.02 K/9), and has peripherals that indicate that the sub-3.00 ERA is likely unsustainable. Varvaro was virtually guaranteed a bullpen spot coming into the year, and he's gotten one, but there isn't a ton to be excited about.
Ryan Buchter could fit into the "lefty" category, but considering he is only making the roster because of the recent injury to Cory Gearrin (who could be headed for Tommy John surgery), he lands here. Buchter is a 27-year-old left-hander who spent 2013 in Gwinnett, and he posted a 2.76 ERA and 14.95 K/9 over 62 innings there. However, his control is a major issue, as he walked 7.40 batters per 9 last season (yikes) and 6 batters in 8.2 innings this Spring with the Braves. The final spot could fluctuate wildly over the coming days, but it looks like this will be the starting configuration.
Stay tuned for the final installment of our 2014 Atlanta Braves preview series on Sunday, when we dive into our staff projections.

one of these days, i will grow up and start buying sensible shoes.
today was not that day.
the great thing about working from home is that i can wear things like this and go sans makeup and take a long walk in the afternoon to run errands, the bad thing about working from home is that if i get sent work to do in the middle of taking said walk, then i will still be working at 8pm. but i think the worst part is that working til 8pm feels so late to me when it used to be totally normal.
today felt like fall and i saw josh beech. woop woop.
and pshhhh who needs marants, dunks allllllll day
here are some awkward photos of what i wore to michelle's birthday dinner last night.

Bluebeam Trick: Handwriting to Text Comment on Tablet September 2, 2014Posted by carolhagen in Bluebeam Revu.
Tags: Bluebeam, Bluebeam Revu Tricks, Bluebeam Tips, Handwriting to Text, Pen tool
add a comment
The Pen tool is often used on tablets to make notations as it is much easier than keyboard input when walking a jobsite. Handwritten notes are common markups on field documents, but did you know you can turn handwriting to text automatically?
When using the Pen tool you can have Bluebeam automatically recognize your handwriting before placing the markup. It places the associated text in the comments column of the Markups list for you. To turn this on, adjust your Revu preferences for your tablet.
Go to Preferences (Ctrl-K)| Select Tablet | Check the Auto Recognize Text box
This option only appears if you have a tablet PC, touch screen or tablet device attached to your computer and is unchecked as the default in Bluebeam Revu. If you use a Surface Pro or other tablet PC you'll want to change this today.
It works best with hand printed text.
The sensitivity is for pressure sensitivity when using the pen or highlight tool. Pressing down firm produces a thicker line. Note that not all tablet devices support pressure sensitivity.
This comes in handy when you don't have a custom punch symbol with the specific description you need. You can then lasso multiple markups together like a punch symbol and the pen markup and group them together, or in my case above, the arrow and the pen markup.

Bluebeam Revu Tip: Email or Script to Send to Box.com File Folder May 29, 2014Posted by carolhagen in Bluebeam Revu, Construction Industry - Software.
Tags: Bluebeam, Bluebeam Revu Tips, Box.com, Revu iPad, script
add a comment
For those Bluebeamers using an iPad Revu and Box.com to sync files, here's the perfect way to get your files from Bluebeam Revu shared to Box quickly using a script (or email).
Update 5/30/14: You can also email documents to Dropbox https://sendtodropbox.com/
First, you'll need to decide what folder in Box you want your Revu Files sent to. Login to your Box account, navigate or create the folder you want your Bluebeam files to go to then click on More and mouse over the Upload Options | Email Files to this Folder
Then it will bring up the Folder Properties. Make sure you check the "Allow uploads to this folder via email" option.
This makes an email address for uploading directly to your specified Box folder. Now copy the email address it generates and use it to email documents directly to Box from inside Bluebeam Revu Standard. To make this automatic and not have to type the email address each time you can create a script.
To create a script to Flatten and email to that folder you'll need a Bluebeam Extreme license. Then follow these steps:
To open the Bluebeam Script Editor, navigate to the Documents Tab and click on Script
Enter the Description "Flatten and Upload to my Box Folder"
Grab the Box logo or an appropriate icon you have as a JPEG file on your computer. To grab the box logo off the internet, you can search for Box in Google then right click on the Box logo and choose "Save Image As" and name the file Box in the .jpg format. Screenshot for those who need the help:
Now for the actual Bluebeam Script. Enter in the script dialogue box type "Flatten()" Hit Enter for the next line and type "Email(yourboxfolderemailaddress)".
If you want your documents to load faster on the iPad, you may want to reduce the file size before uploading to Box. Just add the line
ReduceFileSize(High,150,true,false,true) [where High reduces the image level, 150 is the DPI, then True to Drop Fonts, False to not drop thumbnails, metadata and other Miscellaneous items, and True to Compress] before the Flatten in the script editor. Keeping the thumbnails can be helpful on the iPad.
You may want to automatically add Headers and Footers to this script as well, especially if you're in business development and are creating customer facing documents, brochures, etc.
The simplist form of the HeaderFooter script is designating the header contents (left, center right) and footer content (left center right). An Example would be HeaderAndFooter("","<>","","Carol Hagen",www.hagenbusiness.com,602-570-7289) which centers the date in the header and my name in the footer left, website in the footer center and phone number in the footer right on all pages of the document.
Please share this with your construction contacts as they are using Bluebeam too. If you need help with scripts or need some Bluebeam training, feel free to reach out.

Bluebeam keyboard shortcuts can save you an enormous amount of time and many are worth the effort of memorization. Bluebeam has a Keyboard shortcuts document hidden inside Revu. This PDF document contains all the shortcuts for Markup and Editing, Viewing, Navigation, Page Manipulation, Show Tabs, Advanced Text, File Operations and miscellaneous items. All the function key shortcuts, and keystroke combinations of Alt, Ctrl and Shift are packed into this fabulous resource that most Bluebeamers have overlooked.
The Bluebeam Revu Keyboard Shortcuts is accessed by navigating to the Help Tab and clicking on the down arrow (inverted triangle) next to the Help icon. I find most people who find this document open it and only look at the first few pages. In essence, they only see the mouse navigation buttons. Continue on to the fourth thru sixth pages and you've hit the mother lode!
Now go get 'em Bluebeamers!

Bluebeam Revu Idea: The Ultimate HomeBuilder As-Built December 3, 2013Posted by carolhagen in Bluebeam Revu, Construction Industry, Construction Industry - Software.
Tags: as-built, Bluebeam, Building, construction, Homebuilder
add a comment
Once you've completed building your customers dream home you hand over the keys and all the documentation. Warranties, specifications, owner's manuals, etc – it's a stack of paper that may need it's own filing cabinet. What if you delighted your home owner with an interactive As-built with the appliances, fixtures and all their documentation embedded on the plans? The ultimate as-built would deliver a remarkable experience.
In the above example the PDF icon is shown with the attachment markup function.
This is easy to create using the Attachment option on the Markups Tab
Once you select the file and click to where you want it embedded on your plan set, you can open the Properties Tab on the Markup and change the ICON to PDF, Show File Name, paperclip, Tag, Graph, Attachment "push pin", etc. You could also include a Legend to explain what each symbol/icon represents (warranty, spec, photo, energy efficiency, etc).
Interactive As-Builts make the documentation make sense to everyone. his is also great in the commercial space where a facilities manager might need to review maintenance instructions, etc.
To share these embedded PDFs on the planset with your homeowner, remember to flatten the document markups before sharing so the hyperlinks work using other PDF programs. Remember it is likely that your homeowner will use a PDF reader that isn't Bluebeam.
Tip: You can add other Icons to the Icon choices like a camera to symbolize embedded photos.
What do you do to make your as-builts pop? Please share your ideas in the comments with our readers.
Bluebeam Tip: Translate Your Markups November 13, 2013Posted by carolhagen in Bluebeam Revu, Construction Industry - Software.

An often unnoticed function in Bluebeam Revu is the ability to translate all your markup annotations. Have a Spanish speaking subcontractor, no problemo, the punch process and design reviews will be a snap!
It's quite easy to use, just navigate to the Document tab, select Process and choose the Translate Markups.
This dialogue box will appear for you to select the to/from language:
With over 50 languages to choose from, you'll be able collaborate with construction professionals worldwide.
Once your comments are translated, Flatten and Email to get your message across. With the hyperlinks, there'll be no confusion!
Note: Bluebeam leverages Google Translate to perform the translation so an internet connection is required. This was added to Bluebeam Revu in the version 9 release.
Bluebeam Tip: Make Your Construction Punch Process Faster with Spaces October 30, 2013Posted by carolhagen in Bluebeam Revu, Construction Industry - Software.
Tags: Bluebeam, Bluebeam Revu Tips, punchlist, Spaces, tips
add a comment
The Construction Punch Process has been a time-consuming process for most general contractors until Bluebeam Revu and a few other software solutions added iPad apps. The problem with most applications is that you have to manually add the building number, floor number and room number to each punch item. Another issue is that your punch item reports aren't hyperlinked to each punch markups on the drawing, often causing confusion for the specialty trades.
With Bluebeam Revu's Spaces feature you can have the location automatically logged with each punch item or mark-up and use it to sort and report your punch by floor, room or building. It's easy and just takes a few minutes of prep work.
Create Spaces
On multi-story buildings you'll begin by creating Nested Spaces. Nested Spaces let you create spaces inside spaces e.g. Rooms 100 – 120 inside Floor 1
Open up the spaces tab or use the shortcut Alt+S.
On the Space tab button bar, click Add Space.
Click and drag a rectangle or multi-click a polygon to define the floor or area.
In the Add Space dialog, enter a name such as "Floor 1," then click OK.
Click inside the floor or area to begin defining a space on that floor.
In the Add Space dialog, enter a name such as "100" for room 100, then click OK.
Spaces Tip: By referencing just a number, you can create spaces in room number order and Bluebeam will automatically increment the number by one for you.
NOTE: Spaces can be nested but cannot partially overlap; spaces must be separate from or entirely contained within one another.
Once your spaces are defined, they'll automatically be added to the markups list whenever you add a markup or punch item to the drawing. If you don't see the Spaces column in your markups list, you may need to scroll to the right or click the columns button in the markups list and select spaces to add it to the markups grid.
You'll need Bluebeam Revu version 10 or higher for access to the Spaces feature so if you're still on Bluebeam Revu 9.5, let me know via Email and I'll expedite your upgrade to Revu 11.
Reminder: To ensure every punch item on your report is hyperlinked to the corresponding punch symbol on your drawing don't forget to Flatten before emailing your Punch Report. Plattening ensures the links won't be broken if your email recipients open the PDF with a PDF viewer other than Bluebeam.
BONUS: The larger the project, the more mission critical the punch process is. When you need to be punching one floor, having the trades correcting the punch on another floor and your inspector performing a back check on another floor all at the same time, you'll want to use "Real-Time" Punch using Bluebeam Studio. It expedites the process and your subs, architects and inspectors can update their status live (note this video is 30+ minutes in length)
All this is included in Bluebeam Revu. That's why over 500,000 people are licensed to use Bluebeam around the world. Please share this with your construction business associates – you'll make friends for life. After all doesn't everyone want to work smarter not harder?
Winning Projects with Interactive Construction Presentations October 17, 2013Posted by carolhagen in Bluebeam Revu, Construction Industry - Software, Construction Industry Hardware.
Tags: Bluebeam, business development, construction, presentations, U-Pointer
1 comment so far
Construction presentation effectiveness is the difference between winning and losing a project. Since Powerpoint came on the scene, the innovative contracting firm has mastered storytelling and realizes than communication is a two way street. Proving your understanding of the project scope, site challenges and constructability is paramount to success. The static slide is being usurped by interactive presentations. Here are a few ideas to convert your next presentation from drab to interactive:
Make Your Information Visually Appealing
One of the most common presentation mistakes is made when displaying numbers in a row and column format. Most people think, I'll make a chart or graph which is old school. Instead, create a Heat Map using Excel. This is especially effective when presenting energy data on a LEED construction project to an owner. This video from Annielytics is an excellent tutorial of how to create a heat map:
Add Interactive Elements
Links to supporting project data, photos, videos etc are the basics. Hyperlinking Slide content to construction documents or real-time data collection that translates these field updates into easily understood moving visuals are recommended. How you render project progress completion by building, floor or room can transport an owner inside his own building. Here's an example of a design coordination meeting recently shared by Ryan Companies using Bluebeam Revu in a Studio Session:
Update Your Construction Visual Aides
Using whiteboards, projectors and flat screen monitors is so 2008. Convert your Whiteboard or wall-mounted flat screen monitor into a touch pen screen with the U-Pointer. It's small and portable to take with you to a client's office. Wherever your need to present, you can make a lasting impression, even at the jobsite:
Add a Liquid Multi-Touch Display and immerse your audience with an iPad-like project kiosk experience. Show your construction team link portal, interactive
plan sets, your visual punch process, the job site check-in process for your workforce and how you communicate when resolving time-sensitive issues. The electronic documents of today necessitate mark-up and annotation capabilities. Your client is expecting a mobile, connected and collaborative team that communicates efficiently.
Whatever cost effective technology you use on your construction site that adds value, improves communication and streamlines processes is a winning proposition to the construction team and the project owner.
For additional information on any of these technologies, please contact me directly via Email and please specify what product you are interested in.
Bluebeam Tip: How to Create Your Own Punch Symbols Quickly October 15, 2013Posted by carolhagen in Bluebeam Revu, Construction Industry - Software.
Tags: Bluebeam, Bluebeam Revu Tips, construction, Punch Symbols, tips

Until the Bluebeam Revu 11 release, creating punch symbols was a laborious task requiring coping and editing each symbol in the tool chest. Bluebeam has punch symbol tool sets available to download and import (http://www.bluebeam.com/us/support/extensions-tool-sets.asp ) however, if you want to create your own groups of symbols there's now a much quicker and easier way.
Creating Your Own Punch Symbol set in Bluebeam begins with a CSV file. You can create a CSV file even without Excel by just using NotePad. To access Notepad click on Start | All Programs | Accessories | NotePad.
Using the format "Subject","Code","Comment" (the comment is the detail description) type in one code per line with each component in "quotes" and separated by a comma as shown here:
Once you added all your entries, save the it as .TXT file.
Next, Navigate to the Tool Chest and click on the gear [1] just below the tool chest to open Manage Tool Sets,
In the Manage Tool Sets click on Add [2], Name the Punch group PunchKeytrade(where trade is a specific specialty ie. Electrical, Mechanical, Carpentry, etc).
This will appear as the header for a group of punch symbols and will appear in alphabetical order in your Tool Chest. If you are a general contractor you'll want to create separate symbol groups for each trade to make it easy for the subcontractors to update the punch status during the back check process. This is particularly useful if you are also using Bluebeam Studio to perform a real-time punch and back check.
Once the Punch Group is created, click Modify [3] and click on the Punch Key Import [4] button (only in Revu 11+), then navigate to the .TXT file you created, select it and click OK. This will import each line of the .TXT file into the Tools window on the Modify Tool Set pane as shown below:
To finish, Make sure the relative path box is checked and optionally the show in all Profiles (if you desire), then Click OK to complete the Modify Tool Set.
Bluebeam Tip: How to Only Print, Email or Export Pages with Markups October 7, 2013Posted by carolhagen in Bluebeam Revu, Construction Industry - Software.
Tags: Bluebeam, Bluebeam Revu Tips, construction, email, tips

After taking the time to markup documents in Bluebeam Revu, why send 100 pages when there are only a few pages with markups or notes on them? Instead of sending the full set of plans or a lengthy multi-page PDF, it is faster and sometimes more effective to only email the document pages that have markups. This is especially true when not everyone uses Bluebeam Revu. Here's the quick 3 step process to just send pages with markups to the Print, Email or Export Pages option of Bluebeam:
1. Navigate to the Markups List
2. Press CTL-A to select all markups
3. Choose the desired function: Email, Print or Export Pages
The Page selection will prefill with the highlighted pages only. This is also true with the search function in Bluebeam.
Bluebeam Revu Tips for iPad: Add Audio, Video and Perform Field Measurements September 18, 2013Posted by carolhagen in Bluebeam Revu, Construction Industry - Software.

Bluebeam Revu iPad is available on iTunes and can help field workers access plans and perform the punch process visually. The audio and video markups were added in Revu iPad version 1.4 and field measurements in 2.1
Typing on an iPad is rather awkward when holding the iPad in your hand. So why not annotate with an audio recording, video clip or photo. Here's how to insert them all onto your PDF:
Field Measurements are not as accurate as using the desktop version of Bluebeam Revu (which has a snap to content option), but having the ability to do quick spot checks on the project site is a timesaver.
Watch this video to see Field Measurements in action:
If you don't own an iPad, that's ok as Bluebeam Revu desktop also works well on tablet PCs like the Surface Pro, Lenovo Yoga and other convertible laptops.

Bluebeam Tip of the Week: Quick Security Sessions August 23, 2013Posted by carolhagen in Bluebeam Revu, Construction Industry - Software.
Tags: Bluebeam, Bluebeam Revu Tips, PDF security, security
1 comment so far
Quick security settings allow you to create permissions and passwords that you can apply to documents repeatedly without having to recreate or define them each time. You can control much more than the password including the ability to print, edit, allow copying text/graphics or extract content. Some contractors define these settings by project or by client. Here's how you can create a new security set:
You can see how much time you'll save when sharing your content sensitive information with others and with a simple click of the lock button you can reuse your settings in an instant. It's great for applying security to multiple documents all at once too.

Bluebeam Revu Tip: Working with More Screen Real Estate July 31, 2013Posted by carolhagen in Bluebeam Revu, Construction Industry - Software.
Tags: Bluebeam, construction, PDF, tips
add a comment
Update: New in Revu 11, hold the Shift + F4 and it will close/open (toggle) all the panels.
Bluebeam has many options toolbars and tabs that take up valuable real estate on your screen. When working on detailed drawing every inch counts so today it's time you looked at the Interface button, located on the far right of the View Tab. It looks like this:
Toggling on/off the panels, command bar, status bar and navigation bar frees up real estate on your screen. You can even hide the tabs showing your open documents. You can go from a Fit Width setting File | View | Fit Width (CTL+0) like this:
To this to see more of your documents at once.
You can of course also use the F11 key (the long cut to this is File | View| Full Screen, but you'll want to toggle off the panels first or you'll still have the left panel showing
Be careful to turn these back on or you may find yourself going crazy trying to remember commands. I've also seen people turn the status bar off (at the very bottom) and wonder why they can't start a markup in the spot they click on. Snap to grid, Markup or content are great when you want them on but can drive you crazy if you don't realize they are on.
Please share this with your other Bluebeam co-workers and reach out to me with any Bluebeam questions.

add a comment
Bluebeam's floating toolbar is especially useful when working on small screens in tablet mode. Often I find myself in Full Screen Mode (F11) to maximize my viewing area. Having access to the functions I do most is a real time saver which is why you should customize your floating toolbar.
To Customize your floating toolbar and add the mark-up tools you use most, right-click on the floating toolbar and selecting Customize. You'll need to do this before entering tablet mode as there is no "right-click" option with a pen stylus.
Some of my favorite items to add are email template, deskew, callout and previous view. What will you be adding to your floating toolbar?
My next tip will discuss email templates.

Scanned documents are commonly found as email attachments and unfortunately often get pulled through a scanner at an angle. This occurs when a stack of documents or plan sets are fed through a desktop scanner. Here's how to correct the skew in Bluebeam Revu.
Using your keyboard, Press Ctrl+Alt+D.
Your cursor will change to crossbars.
Click and drag a line that should be horizontal in the PDF. (Alternatively, you can also click two points.)
The Page Setup dialog will appear,
showing a preview of the adjusted PDF. Click OK to complete the align/de-skew operation.
Another fast way to deskew is to add the Deskew button to one of your tool bars.

Sometimes you need a reference right on your planset for when a change was made. When it comes to markups, you can use stamps but did you know you can also add a Tool Chest Symbol?
Here's how to create a simple symbol with dynamic text:
In Bluebeam Revu, Dynamic Text is not directly supported in symbols, however you can include a stamp that contains dynamic text. The dynamic text is updated when the symbol is added to the PDF.
Here is a quick example of creating a symbol that includes dynamic text:
1. Add the DateTime stamp to the PDF.
2. Create a Rectangle around the stamp. (You can use other markups like cloud, etc)
3. Select and then Group them. (Lasso them together and then press Ctrl-G).
4. Right-click and then click Add to Tool Chest. (or drag the grouped item into your tool chest of choice)
5. Add the symbol to the PDF.
The dynamic text for the date and time are updated when the symbol is added to the PDF. Now go get 'em Bluebeamers!
How Smart Subcontractors Spot Revisions on Plans May 22, 2013Posted by carolhagen in Bluebeam Revu, Construction Industry - Software.

add a comment
Revisions and Addenda are common in construction projects. When conditions and ideas change, so do the plans. When estimating the financial impact of these changes, subcontractors are often pressed for time and need an efficient way of locating the differences between plan sets. Unfortunately, as is often the case, neither the architects nor general contractors have clouded all the changes for you. So do you pull out the old light table? There's a better alternative.
Whether you have a clean vector drawing or plans scanned to PDF you can use Bluebeam Revu's compare documents to cloud the differences and get a side-by-side comparison, or overlay the plan sheets. This video will show you what Bluebeam does, and how to do it!
There are many benefits for a specialty contractor to use Bluebeam Revu. Document comparison is just one way to save time and reduce risk.

Bluebeam Tip of the Week: 3 Wall Area Measurement Methods for Estimators April 24, 2013Posted by carolhagen in Bluebeam Revu, Construction Industry - Software, estimating.
Tags: Bluebeam, construction, estimating, tips, Wall area Take-off
add a comment
Bluebeam Revu's measurement functions provide quick methods for estimators to take-off length, area and quantities. Painters, drywallers and other specialty trades often need to calculate wall area quickly and efficiently on a construction project. With Bluebeam Revu you have three take-off choices.
- Elevation views and the area tool (most accurate, most time consuming)
- Perspective drawing and the volume tool
- Perspective drawings and the perimeter tool
With options 2 and 3 there will be further calculations necessary to account for doors and windows. Knowing that you'll all want to try these faster options and get more bids completed, I'm providing this handy reference document explaining the process using the Bluebeam Revu Measurement tools. You can download this free PDF (and yes, you can view it first because I'm using Box.com).

Arboretum Playground by Taylor Cullity Lethlean
Australia's most awarded landscape architecture and urban design firm, Taylor Cullity Lethlean (TCL) has set a new benchmark for themed play spaces internationally with their design of Australia's National Arboretum Playground which opened to the public on 22 June. The National Arboretum Playground challenges the conventional idea of play environments, featuring giant acorn cubby houses floating in the sky, and enormous Banksia cones nestled on the forest floor. Inspired by the Arboretum's 100 forests of rare and endangered trees from around the world (also designed by TCL), the playground has been designed to creatively engage children with the beauty of trees and foster life-long connections to the remarkable surrounding environment.

- The Real Housewives of New Jersey Dina Calls Out Melissa Special Time Sunday 9/8c
Have a question for Jill Zarin's mother, Gloria? Post your questions in the comments below and check back next week for Gloria's widsom and advice!
Dear Gloria,
Several months ago my partner of two years ended our relationship saying that, although he still loved me, he was no longer "in love" with me; I was devastated. But as time has passed we seem to have grown even closer. We live only a few minutes away from each other, so we're constantly together and always enjoy each other's company. All signs indicate that we're together again, but I'm too afraid to ask if we are, for fear that he'll say no. Should I initiate a conversation, or wait for him to make the first move?
Best Wishes,
I know this answer will upset you, but you asked me for advice and I must be truthful. This young man appears to be quite selfish. On one hand, he told you of his platonic feelings, and on the other he takes up most of your time. Time that you may need to meet other people. I don't see this relationship moving forward in the direction you want. You need to reiterate your feelings and then you will find out his true intentions. For your sake, I hope that this will not hurt you again. I hope your future will be a happy one.
Gloria, you are such a strong and powerful woman. I have been having such a difficult time with my youngest daughter it's been difficult to talk with her. Can you give any advice?
Thanks for writing. You haven't told me your daughter's age. If she is a teenager, it's tyical for her to be secretive, uncommunicative. It goes with the territory. If, however, she is and adult, perhaps it would be appropriative to meet for the day. Ask her what she would prefer to do for the day, just the two of you. She just might open up a bit. Keep trying. She will come around.
Good luck,
Hi Gloria,
What would you do if someone showed up for dinner at your home 45 minutes earlier than the time you had agreed on? Would you confront the situation? This happened to me recently and I thought it was completely unthoughtful on their part. Thanks in advance for your advice.

Moving to Bangkok, Thailand in less than one month! It's crazy to think that in the midst of all the insanity this summer brought with it, all that's left to do is pack my bags and get on the plane.
Well…I still have to finish writing this Major Research Paper first…let's not get ahead of ourselves yet.
- Ernest Hemingway, The Complete Short Stories (via thepinesaredancing)
(via sixnorth)
- Pico Iyer (via lindsaywolfson)
I love everything about Scandinavia in the summertime! I spent 4 days in Stockholm and just couldn't believe how much I loved the city. There was a mix of old historical buildings with new, modern architecture that screamed beautiful. Lund, in Southern Sweden, was a quiet student town with an unbelievably majestic university. Ancient cathedrals and viking history.
As amazing as Sweden was, it was Copenhagen, Denmark where I was the most impressed and couldn't bear saying goodbye to. It wasn't too big and the bikeability of this amazing city blew me away at every turn.
Besides the amazing landscapes and architecture it was fun to see all around me the stereotypical blond beauties of the Scandinavian people. General consensus within my group of friends decided the men were where the real magic lay ;)
Stay beautiful Scandinavia and one day hopefully I will return
I fell in love with Copenhagen yesterday!!!
anytime, anytime!!
leaving for sweden in ONE WEEK!!!!
i have so much to do…i really need to stop being SO LAZY

Having been born, raised, and still living in the 626, I remember back in the 90s when no one outside [...] Continue »
It's Hip to be Asian in the US by Elizabeth Lee of Voice of America, argues that there is a new coolness in being Asian. I have noticed it too. Asian America isn't as much on the fringes (of popular culture) as it was when I was younger. It has become much more part of society in general. One great example of this is boba tea. In the early 90s, I had to go to [...] Continue »
Ever since I had a baby, I'm way more emotional than I have ever been. Put it this way, it's not uncommon to find me tearing up during television sitcoms and romantic comedies. That's why the first time I heard about Nina and what she is going through, I felt like crying and wanted to do everything I could to help her. Here is a little bit more about Nina: An extraordinary woman, mother, and [...] Continue »
As a filmmaker, I am a big believer in the importance of API film festivals. I believe they are the incubator of API talent and help get our stories on the big screen. One of the first people to believe in me and my writing were the good folks at Visual Communications, who put on the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival every year. Through their Armed with a Camera (AWC) fellowship, they helped me [...] Continue »
In my lifetime, I've been called a "Chink" more than a "Jap." Of course this doesn't stop people on YouTube from calling me a "Jap." To be fair, this was in response to my movie "Chink" and I did want to touch a nerve with people. Based on this person's reaction, I guess it worked. I remember the first time I was called a "Chink." My first reaction was that I wasn't Chinese/Chinese American. The [...] Continue »
Because May is Asian Pacific Heritage month, I wanted to write about all the people I assumed or rather wanted to believe were Asian/Pacific Islander. Some of these are more benign than others but they all stem from the simple fact that as a child (and as an adult) I wanted there to be more people that resembled me in politics and entertainment. Snake Eyes (from G.I. Joe). I've written about this before but as [...] Continue »
My wife and I have been discussing whether we should give our 1-year-old son a bowl haircut. Okay, discuss is not really what happened. I asked her if we should give him a bowl haircut, and she said, "No." I tried to explain to her that a bowl haircut is a rite of passage for Asian Americans. I had one (see the above picture). All of my Asian American friends had one. So shouldn't my [...] Continue »
I consider myself a professional Asian American, which means that I work in the "community." There are positives and negatives that come with being a professional Asian American. The biggest negative is that people tend to rant at me about the state of Asian America and the worst part is they want me to agree with them. Well, I'm sick of being ranted at. It's my turn to rant. This is my rant on Asian [...] Continue »
We do. And according to this New York Times article, "East Asian Physical Traits Linked to 35,000-Year-Old Mutation" by Nicholas Wade, East Asians also have: thicker hair shafts more sweat glands characteristically identified teeth smaller breasts The article references a study trying to figure out the gene(s) that causes the variations between people on different continents. This particular study looked at the EDAR gene. According to the article, "Africans and Europeans carry the standard version [...] Continue »

The Bradley Manning trial shows again that the concept of US justice is a complete joke. Bradley Manning has sadly shown us another truth. US justice is a mockery. We will never forget Bradley Manning. We will never forget the abuse that he received from the US. These jackals have delivered their disgusting brand of "jurisprudence" to Bradley Manning. That so-called judge should bend over and kiss Bradley Manning's fanny. US wipes out 1 million is South Asia, then calls Bradley Manning 'wanton', 'reckless', and 'dangerous'. Sheesh! Clearly, the lack of moral character does not reside in Bradley Manning. People look at what the US has done to Bradley Manning and they say, "Never again". This travesty of justice will not stop what Bradley Manning started. Many have adopted his worldview and motivations. The US will have one man in prison. Bradley Manning will have billions of supporters.
