Free Razor Samples are great. This free razor sample from Schick Quattro Titanium claims to provide "less irritation and more precision than the leading brand". That is good because I must admit, shaving is pretty irritating. In fact I have never seen a shaver that was not irritating. It takes me nearly two hours to shave my beard! Good thing women love hairy men (that is what Nick says)
*Note: If you ever search google for "hairy" or "hairy man" (to get that perfect picture for your blog), make sure the safe search feature is on, otherwise the results might not be so pretty (and if in class you might scare the people in the back row).
What the company says:
"Less irritation and more precision than the leading brand". (Really, that is all they say!)

Do you like hairy men?
I dont know about liking really hairy men, but goatees are a must on men 😉
I prefer my men with nothing on them…
The link is not working.
I like body hair on men.
It is a masculine trait.
We shave ours to make us smoothe and feminine.
I like my men manly.

Daylighting, Architecture and Health
Building Design Strategies
- Mohamed Boubekri, Professor of architecture at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA
Daylighting, Architecture and Health examines the relationship between natural light in buildings and human health, considering both psychological and physiological issues and bringing together a range of research in the field. As we are becoming increasingly conscious of global warming and pushing towards energy efficiency in buildings, the book examines the question of daylighting from the perspective of the health of building occupants. It gathers and reviews all the latest and pertinent medical and architectural research related to natural light, or lack thereof, and its effect on people.* Documents medical research findings which establish a link between light quality and health* Considers design strategies for increasing daylight in buildings* Develops understanding and awareness of the importance of natural light in buildingsDaylighting, Architecture and Health: Building Design Strategies is a timely and essential text for professional architects and all others concerned with the effects of daylighting on health, architecture and building design.View full description

Model Aggregation: a building-block approach to creating large macromolecular regulatory networks
ABSTRACT Models of regulatory networks become more difficult to construct and understand as they grow in size and complexity. Modelers naturally build large models from smaller components that each represent subsets of reactions within the larger network. To assist modelers in this process, we present model aggregation, which defines models in terms of components that are designed for the purpose of being combined.
We have implemented a model editor that incorporates model aggregation, and we suggest supporting extensions to the Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML) Level 3. We illustrate aggregation with a model of the eukaryotic cell cycle 'engine' created from smaller pieces.
Java implementations are available in the JigCell Aggregation Connector. See http://jigcell.biol.vt.edu.

- "This precludes the spontaneous comparison of additional or novel GEMs, such as those from the model SEED (Henry et al., 2010). Tools do exist to compare and to merge arbitrary SBML formatted regulatory (Randhawa et al., 2009; Wang et al., 2010) or biochemical (Krause et al., 2010; Schulz et al., 2012) models. However, these methods are predominantly aimed at combining (sub-) models into larger entities. "
ABSTRACT: Genome-scale reconstructions and models (GEMs), as collections of genomic and metabolic information, provide a useful means to compare organisms. Comparison requires that models are similarly notated in order to pair shared components. Matching and comparison of GEMs is facilitated by modelBorgifier. It reconciles models in light of different annotation schemes, allowing diverse models to become useful for synchronous investigation.

ABSTRACT: The field of systems biology studies how the interactions among individual components (e.g. genes and proteins) yield interesting and complex behavior. The circadian (daily) timekeeping system in mammals is an ideal system to study complexity because of its many biological scales (from genes to animal behavior). A wealth of data at each of these scales has recently been discovered. Within each scale, modeling can advance our understanding of challenging problems that arise in studying mammalian timekeeping. However, future work must focus on bridging the multiple spatial and temporal scales in the modeling of SCN network. Here we review recent advances, and then delve into a few areas that are promising research directions. We also discuss the flavor of modeling needed (simple or detailed) as well as new techniques that are needed to meet the challenges in modeling data across scales.Current opinion in genetics & development 10/2010; 20(6):626-33.

Anyone who considers mid-August a dead time for anything original on television definitely doesn't have an elementary school age girl at home.
This week's Disney Channel premiere of "High School Musical 2" is a Friday-night date for millions of youngsters and the latest example of how cable has stolen the buzz from its broadcast big brothers this summer.
There's been a run of attention-getting series with big stars on cable, such as Holly Hunter in TNT's "Saving Grace," Glenn Close in "Damages" on FX and Debra Messing in "The Starter Wife" on USA.
TNT's "The Closer" routinely beats most of what the broadcasters offer on Monday nights. "Army Wives" became Lifetime's most popular series ever, and "Ice Road Truckers" did the same for the History Channel. "Mad Men" on AMC, "Burn Notice" on USA and "House of Payne" on TNT are other intriguing new offerings.
Add such returning favorites as "Monk," and nearly 30 scripted cable series are offering original episodes from June to September, according to Multichannel News.
"It's a summer to remember," says Tim Brooks, a television historian and Lifetime executive. "It's kind of a game-changer in a way."
On broadcast? Well, there's always "Big Brother 8." Or is it 14?
The original "High School Musical" premiered to 7.8 million viewers in January 2006. This month felt right for the sequel because it's set in the summertime, says Scott Garner, the Disney Channel's senior vice president for programming. By Aug. 17, summer camp generally is over and school hasn't started yet.
The new movie (airing Friday evening at 8) features the original cast working and having fun at a country club, with the relationships of its main characters sorely tested. Plenty of new songs are lined up to prompt the youthful audience to sing along.
"If I was a betting man, I would say it would probably be a [ratings] milestone in cable television this year," Mr. Garner says.
Cable networks see an opportunity to snap up bored viewers while ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox essentially shift to autopilot in the summer. The trend has gone into overdrive this year, and it's having an impact. Through midsummer, young viewership was down 14 percent from last year on broadcast schedules clogged with repeats, talent contests and reality programs. Cable was up slightly, Nielsen Media Research said.
The assumption that many TV sets are turned off during the summer is becoming obsolete, says Jack Wakshlag, chief researcher at Turner Networks. In 1975, with fewer networks from which to choose and fewer homes with air conditioners, summer viewership was 15 percent lower than the rest of the year, he says.
In 2005, that difference was just 3 percent — and viewership is moving toward a day when there will be just as much TV watching in July as January, Mr. Wakshlag says.
Another factor in the summertime bounty of choice is the recognition by cable networks that their success increasingly depends upon having signature series that viewers will seek out. That's why AMC, normally a movie channel, developed "Mad Men."
The competition is keen. In 2000, the average home in the United States had access to 61 channels, Nielsen says. By last year, the typical home had 104 channels.
Until the "Who shot J.R.?" phenomenon 27 years ago, broadcast networks more often than not drew little attention to the end of the season in May. Mr. Brooks says the strategy of seeking a ratings boost through season-ending special events and series cliffhangers may be counterproductive.
"It may bring you back in the fall to see what happens, but it also tells you very explicitly that there's nothing going to happen until the fall," he adds. "Viewers are taking that as a signal to go elsewhere."
Broadcasters are hardly blind to what's happening.
They pay so much for scripted programming that economic reality locks them into repeating episodes to get extra ad revenue. Ratings that may make a series a profitable hit on cable represent failure on the bigger stage of a broadcast network. Unless someone figures out something different, networks are locked into concentrating on cheap reality programming in the summer, hoping to catch lightning with an unexpected hit.
"We all tried a little bit," says Alan Wurtzel, NBC's chief researcher, "but there is no way you can have a full-fledged, 52-week season, both financially and creatively."
The result is ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox sitting back for another few months as the cable competitors continue to chip away at what always has made them special. That's another few months of viewers not checking those networks first when they settle into their couches.
The broadcast networks suffered through an unexpectedly slow spring.
Can they afford this bummer of a summer?

Research Professor Dr. Robert Shuter Earns Fulbright Award
Dr. Robert Shuter, research professor in the Hugh Downs School of Human Communication, has been granted a Fulbright Specialist award to share his expertise at the Hong Kong Baptist University School of Communication for October 2015. An internationally renowned scholar in the area of intercultural communication, Shuter will introduce the Hong Kong Baptist School of Communication to his newest research and teaching specialty, intercultural new media studies – a discipline he led the development of in 2010.
"This Fulbright is not only a great honor, but it is also an wonderful opportunity for me as an intercultural communication researcher to introduce one of the leading communication schools in Asia to this exciting new area of study," Shuter said. "As a consultant in the School of Communication, I will conduct various workshops and lectures for students, faculty and administrators on ways they can integrate intercultural new media studies into their curriculum and research agenda."
In 2011, Shuter launched the independent Center for Intercultural New Media Research, which now boasts 308 research associates in 46 countries representing more than 200 universities. During his time at Hong Kong Baptist, he will explore establishing the center's East Asian branch at the School of Communication.
New study looks at students' digital behavior in university classes
Shuter, whose early research into digital behavior looked at international text message etiquette, will present his latest competitively selected study on a juried panel at the annual conference of the National Communication Association in November.
The paper, The Influence of Cultural Values on U.S. and Danish Students' Digital Behavior in University Classes, which Shuter co-wrote with Hugh Downs School associate professor Dr. Pauline Cheong and Yashu Chen, doctoral student, addresses whether university students think that smartphones and laptops used in class are a distraction to learning, attention and participation, and whether they want these devices managed in class.
In a survey of 544 American students at two U.S. universities and 361 Danish students at one business college in Denmark, Shuter and his co-investigators discovered the following:
"The findings here are paradoxical," Shuter said. "That students don't view the use of smartphones and laptops in class as a distraction appears to be at odds with university professors who, in past research, have found these devices problematic, especially with regard to attention, learning and participation.
"Interestingly, American students' desire to have instructors set rules for use in class is consistent with the American need for authority and hierarchy in class," Shuter added. "Danish students' desire to have no rules is consistent with Danish need for equality in class even between professors and students."
Dr. Pauline Hope Cheong on Huffington Post
Dr. Pauline Hope Cheong, associate professor, was interviewed by Huffington Post for a live broadcast on The Power of Social Media Prayer, August 28, 2015. The HuffPost Live segment, "Has Social Media Changed the Way We Pray?", focused on when hard times strike, many take to Facebook or Twitter to ask for prayers. Hashtags like #PrayForFerguson and others also becoming trending topics. How has social media changed the way we pray and worship? Does a Facebook like count as a prayer?

Many people would love to keep their iPhone caseless, but they are deathly afraid of that dreaded drop to a sidewalk or hardwood floor. One Japanese product, the Netsuke, promises to save your naked iPhone from that glass-shattering fall.
The Netsuke is a small metal lanyard hook that you install at the bottom of your iPhone. It fits over your charging port and uses the screw holes of the phone to hold it in place. Install the Netsuke, attach a neck or wrist lanyard to the hook and wear your iPhone like a boss.

A New Shirt From an Old Skirt
By MysticMandy on May 28, 2012
Do you ever look in your closet and think "I have NOTHING to wear!!" Well, that happens to me. All. The. Time. And since I'm broke, I try to change the old things into new things. This shirt, for example, went from being a skirt that I NEVER wear, to a fun summer top... In FIVE minutes!
Here is the skirt I started with. It's a stretchy knit. It looks innocent enough, but the waistband (which is SUPPOSED to fold over) always manages to unfold itself throughout the day, adding an additional few inches to my waist. Who wants that? Not me.
I have known that I wanted to make this into a shirt for a few days now. But I was unsure how I wanted to fashion the top. Finally I saw this black sash peeking out of a mysterious pile in my closet. It used to be a waistband to an old maternity top. It matched, and it was already sewn, and so... I was sold.

David Butler and one of his safer tools.
Chris Arnold/NPR
hide caption
April 2, 2012 When you think of new technology, table saws don't generally come to mind, but more and more inventors are trying to make them safer — and David Butler is one of them. His Whirlwind safety brake can stop a blade in less than a second and fits onto any existing saw.

September 22, 2011 Federal regulators are moving closer to implementing new safety standards for table saws, which injure thousands of users each year. One possible solution is a safety brake that stops a blade when it comes into contact with skin. But saw manufacturers say the cost is too high.
<iframe src="http://www.npr.org/player/embed/140708285/140751244" width="100%" height="290" frameborder="0" scrolling="no">
Thomas Siwek, director of product safety at Robert Bosch Tool Corp., demonstrates a newly designed guard for table saws at a meeting with the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Industry officials say the new guards make the saws safe. But consumer advocates disagree and are pushing for flesh-sensing technology such as SawStop, which they say will virtually eliminate the worst table saw injuries.

June 15, 2011 NPR has learned that federal regulators are taking steps toward new safety requirements for table saws. These saws have open spinning blades and can cause severe injuries. But the industry is resisting additional requirements.

May 25, 2011 Table saws are the country's most dangerous commonly used power tool. Each year, 40,000 Americans end up in emergency rooms with injuries — 4,000 of them suffer amputations. This week, consumer advocates are in Washington meeting with lawmakers to push for tougher safety regulations for the industry.

The SawStop saw can sense a slight electrical current that human fingers (and hot dogs) create. When it senses the current, the saw triggers a safety brake, which stops the blade in less than 5/1,000th of a second.

July 5, 2010 Every year, more than 3,000 people around the U.S. cut off their fingers or thumbs in table saw accidents, according to federal data. One entrepreneur created a device called SawStop that prevents such injuries. But mainstream tool companies have been slow to adopt the technology.
<iframe src="http://www.npr.org/player/embed/127780027/128313400" width="100%" height="290" frameborder="0" scrolling="no">
May 31, 2006 Table-saw accidents send more than 60,000 people to seek medical treatment every year, according to federal estimates. In an effort to get the power-tool industry to adopt safer technology, SawStop inventor Steven Gass visited the Consumer Product Safety Commission near Washington recently.

December 7, 2004 A technology designed to stop a table saw blade almost instantly after it hits human flesh is finding little attention among power toolmakers. SawStop's inventor says it will prevent serious injuries, but manufacturers say the technology isn't proven and cite potential liability issues. NPR's Chris Arnold reports.

Simpson Strong-Tie News
Pleasanton, Calif. Simpson Strong-Tie will collapse a deck, demonstrate Quik Drive® auto-feed screw driving systems and highlight its newest deck products, including three new Deck Drive™ fasteners and the DTT1Z deck tension tie that simplifies connecting a deck to a home, at the Remodeling Show and DeckExpo in Chicago, Oct 1-2, booth 2301.
Simpson Strong-Tie products will also be featured during the tradeshow's demonstration clinics. The Simpson Strong-Tie booth will showcase:
DTT1Z Deck Tension Tie
The new DTT1Z deck tension tie is a safe and time-saving alternative for attaching deck joists to the home's structural framing. It eliminates the need to access floor joists from inside the house, and instead, is fastened from outside the house. The DTT1Z addresses a new 2015 International Residential Code provision (section R507.2.4) that now allows four 750-lb. lateral connectors to be fastened to structural framing joists members in the house. This provision is an alternative to using two 1,500-lb. lateral connections from the deck to the floor joists within the house. The DTT1Z connector is available individually or in a kit of four along with four Strong-Drive® SDWH Timber-Hex HDG screws and 24 Strong-Drive® SD Connector screws.
Deck Drive™ Premium Fasteners
Deck-Drive™ premium fasteners offer innovative solutions for fastening wood, PVC or composite decking. The screws require no predrilling and are easier and quicker to install than other fasteners on the market. When used with our Quik Drive® auto-feed screw driving system, Deck Drive fasteners make repetitive fastening easier, faster and more ergonomic.
Simpson Strong-Tie has added three new screws to the Deck Drive line. The Deck-Drive™ DSV Wood screw is a powerful fastening solution for preservative-treated decking applications, allowing up to 35% more screws to be driven per charge. The Deck-Drive DCU Composite screw is designed to work in all types of composite decking as well as encapsulated composite, and provides a cleaner, less noticeable installed appearance due to its special head design. The Deck-Drive DWP stainless-steel deck screw is ideal for deck, dock, and general exterior wood construction in coastal and high-exposure areas.
Strong-Drive® Structural Fasteners
Simpson Strong-Tie Strong Drive® structural screws provide deck builders with safe, high-strength alternatives to through-bolting and traditional lag screws. The popular low-profile Strong-Drive SDWS Timber screw requires no predrilling and is designed for attaching deck ledgers. It offers higher loads than alternative lag solutions, which means up to 40% fewer screws. The Strong-Drive SDWH Timber-Hex stainless steel screw requires no predrilling, offers higher loads and is easier to drive than comparable fasteners. It is made of Type 316 stainless steel, providing the highest level of corrosion resistance, and it can be used in ledger applications.
Quik Drive® Systems Demonstration
Quik Drive® auto-feed screw driving systems help save deck builders time and expense on jobsites every day. The tools are easy to use, durable and come with an extension that enables stand-up-and-drive fastening. Featuring quick-loading screw strips, precise countersink adjustment and a patented auto-advance mechanism, they are designed to be fast, reliable and more cost-effective than traditional nail guns. The Quik Drive PRO300S Decking System comes with a decking nose attachment that centers screws on the joist and in a straight line. Simpson Strong-Tie representatives will be demonstrating the systems at the booth throughout DeckExpo.
Deck Safety Demonstration
To help raise awareness about the importance of deck safety and code-compliant construction, Simpson Strong-Tie will demonstrate a live deck collapse both days at 1 p.m. DeckExpo attendees are invited to visit Simpson Strong-Tie booth 2301 to witness the collapse. At the same time, they will learn about the common causes of deck failure and the critical connections in building a safe, code-compliant deck.
For more information about these and other deck products and to download the Deck Connection and Fastening Guide, visit the Deck Center web page at strongtie.com/deckcenter.
Pleasanton, Calif. This week marks 10 years since Hurricane Katrina, one of the most devastating natural disasters in U.S. history, battered the Gulf Coast. The lessons learned from this storm have led to significant efforts to rebuild stronger homes and buildings that are more resilient to flooding and high winds.
New building codes and flood elevation maps adopted in the past decade have changed construction practices in the region, most notably requiring structures to be built at a higher elevation on wood pilings or tall masonry piers. In response to the changing building requirements, new products and resources have been developed to protect against future hurricanes.
"We sent a team of four engineers to the region immediately after the disaster to see the damage firsthand and study how the homes and buildings fared," said Randy Shackelford, R&D Engineer and Code Specialist at the Simpson Strong-Tie. "Afterward, we developed a high wind framing guide and offered lots of training sessions in the Gulf region on how to build safer, strong structures. With requirements for homes and buildings to be constructed on raised foundations, we developed new products to make it easier and more economical for builders to meet these requirements."
Simpson Strong-Tie designed and engineered the CCQM embedded column cap for use in raised pier foundations to make the connection from the wood beams to masonry. The new Strong-Drive® SDWH Timber-Hex HDG screw also makes connecting beams to wood pilings easier and more effective. The screw replaces bolts, washers and nuts in pilings, piers, boardwalks, and docks, requires no pre-drilling, and resists severe corrosion levels in heavy-duty marine and coastal applications.
In addition to offering training on uplift and lateral wind-resistant construction, Simpson Strong-Tie developed several resources specifically for building professionals and homeowners in hurricane-prone regions. The Flood Resistant Construction Guide and the High Wind-Resistant Construction Catalog provide information on how to build safer, storm-resilient structures. Lessons Learned from Katrina documents local homeowners' experiences on video and sheds light on the widespread damage caused by the hurricane while showcasing the importance of a continuous load path and high wind-resistant construction. Other materials include 5 Steps to a Safer and Stronger Home for homeowners.

Pleasanton, Calif. – Simpson Strong-Tie, the leader in engineered structural connectors and building solutions, has again earned an "A" ranking in both quality and service by David Weekley Homes, the nation's largest privately held home builder, and is one of only two companies out of 200 to receive the Partners of Choice award for 11 consecutive years.
The Partners of Choice Award is the result of a rigorous supplier interactive feedback system that recognizes world-class excellence in supply chain management. Simpson Strong-Tie has been part of David Weekley's world-class evaluation program since its inception in 2003, and is one of only 15 companies this year to achieve the highly sought after "AA" ranking.
Nearly 800 employees at all levels within David Weekley Homes review the company's approximately 200 trading partners (suppliers) and rate them on both quality and service each quarter. At the heart of this interactive feedback platform, the "National Trading Partner Survey" is a web-based, interactive feedback platform that tracks employee responses to measure how effectively partners are managing the supply chain. Partners are rated on a scale from 1-10. Numeric scores are averaged and an alpha ranking of A through F is assigned in 20 percent increments based on each company's relative standing to others. The award program honors suppliers who earn an "A" in quality, service or both within a 12-month period. The partner's results are shared every quarter to foster ongoing improvement within the program. This takes place through a series of individual and group discussions, mentoring calls and strategy sessions.
"This survey is a quantifiable way of measuring world-class excellence across industries. Of the 200 companies in our program, only Simpson Strong-Tie and one other company have won an award every single year since we started this. That is a remarkable achievement," said Bill Justus, vice president of supply chain for David Weekley Homes. "The 800 raters – from executives through accounts payable team members – say Simpson Strong-Tie is among the best of the best in providing quality and service to our company consistently 11 straight years."
Mike Moran, vice president of Simpson Strong-Tie builder programs, said receiving the Partners Choice Award every year is rewarding and motivating. "Every employee at our company is committed to providing exceptional quality and service at all times, and in every interaction. We appreciate this validation that our core values are recognized and appreciated by our customers. One point worth noting is the rankings in the National Trading Partner Survey get more competitive every year, so we have to continuously improve to stay in the top tier of companies receiving an 'A' in both service and quality. It is a true honor to be a chosen supplier of David Weekley Homes and recipient of this coveted award."
Pleasanton, Calif. Simpson Strong-Tie announced it is making a $10,000 donation to assist in relief response and recovery efforts following the historic Blanco River flooding that affected Hays and Caldwell Counties in Central Texas.
The city of Wimberley in the heart of Texas Hill Country was especially hard hit, with a number of lives lost and many homes destroyed or damaged. The donation is being given to The Barnabas Connection, a Wimberley-based organization that has been providing health and human services and connecting individuals and families in need with resources for the last 10 years. The City of Wimberley requested the organization help lead long-term recovery by spearheading fundraising and information dissemination efforts.
The McKinney, Texas branch of Simpson Strong-Tie was made aware of The Barnabas Connection's recovery efforts by McCoy's Building Supply, a long-time customer. The donation will help the Barnabas Connection assist Wimberley residents rebuild and recover from the disaster, along with providing help to meet the financial and emotional needs of those impacted.
"In a period of a few months, Texas has gone from extreme drought to extreme floods and the people of Wimberley were hit the hardest on both ends. Hundreds of families lost their homes and many businesses were destroyed by this flood. We want to help them recover," said Phil Burton, vice president and manager of the Simpson Strong-Tie McKinney, TX branch.
For more information and to make a contribution to aid in the recovery efforts through The Barnabas Connection, visit www.barnabasconnects.org.

"It has been a fantastic partnership between Simpson Strong-Tie and our Academy. The company has provided incredible opportunities for our students and we are thrilled to have two former students now working at the Stockton facility. We are looking forward to continuing to work with Simpson Strong-Tie in the future," said Jeff Wright, director of Lincoln High School Engineering and Construction Academy.
"Supporting students in the Academy is a great way to build interest in the trades as well as familiarize potential future customers about our products. We're excited to be able to help the Academy reach its goal of 'building a workforce for California' through hands-on projects and real work experience," said Simpson Strong-Tie Vice-President and Stockton Branch Manager Bruce Lewis.
Pleasanton, Calif. Simpson Strong-Tie, the industry leader in engineered structural connectors and building solutions, will feature its innovative, award-winning Strong-Rod™ continuous rod tiedown systems during the PCBC tradeshow at the San Diego Convention Center on June 24-25.
This product was one of only 18 selected to win a 2015 Parade of Products@PCBC award, which is given by the California Building Industry Association to the top products representing the best in innovation and new product solutions.
The new Strong-Rod continuous rod tiedown systems feature new code-listed components and optimized rod-run assemblies, giving Designers cost-effective and code-tested options for light-frame, mid-rise wood construction.
The Strong-Rod Anchor Tiedown System for shearwall overturning restraint (ATS) and Strong-Rod Uplift Restraint System for roofs (URS) address many of the design challenges specifically associated with mid-rise buildings that must withstand seismic activity or wind events. These systems are designed to restrain both lateral and uplift loads, while maintaining reasonable costs on material and labor.
For more information about the Strong-Rod continuous rod tiedown systems and other new products from Simpson Strong-Tie, including fasteners, anchors and Strong-Wall® shearwalls, visit booth 1241 at PCBC, or visit the website www.strongtie.com.
Pleasanton, Calif. With the new Simpson Strong-Tie® Strong-Rod™ continuous rod tiedown systems, featuring new code-listed components and optimized rod-run assemblies, Designers have cost-effective and code-tested options for light-frame, mid-rise wood construction.
The Strong-Rod Anchor Tiedown System for shearwall overturning restraint (ATS) and Strong-Rod Uplift Restraint System for roofs (URS) address many of the design challenges specifically associated with mid-rise buildings that must withstand seismic activity or wind events. These systems are designed to restrain both lateral and uplift loads, while maintaining reasonable costs on material and labor.
Strong-Rod ATS solutions address the many design considerations necessary for ensuring proper performance against shearwall overturning, such as rod elongation, wood shrinkage, construction settling, shrinkage compensating device deflection, incremental loads, cumulative tension loads and anchorage.
Strong-Rod URS solutions focus on effective performance against roof uplift, taking into account factors such as rod elongation, wood shrinkage, rod-run spacing, wood top-plate design (connection to roof framing, reinforcement at splices, bending and rotation restraint) and anchorage.
"It's complicated designing multi-story buildings for these conditions. We want to share our testing and design expertise with Designers so they have the safest building possible with materials specifically designed for this application," said Tim Ellis, Simpson Strong-Tie product manager. "With our new Strong-Rod systems product offering, we are delivering streamlined and innovative system solutions that are code compliant and cost competitive."
New cost-saving components in Strong-Rod systems include expanding aluminum take-up devices for rods up to 1-3/4" diameter and increased shrinkage capacity, and coming soon, RTUD5 and RTUD6 ratcheting take-up devices designed for 5/8"- and 3/4"-diameter threaded rod, respectively. Once the RTUD take-up devices are installed on top of bearing plates, a series of internal threaded wedges enable the device to ratchet down the rod as the wood structure shrinks but engage the rod in the reverse direction when under tensile loading, ensuring continuous engagement and enabling the rod system to perform as designed. Unlike similar products, the RTUD can be attached using nails or screws.
To support Designers as they determine the most appropriate solution for their mid-rise project, Simpson Strong-Tie offers:
In addition, Simpson Strong-Tie is helping Designers solve the challenges with anchoring rod systems into shallow podium concrete slabs.

Pleasanton, Calif. Evergreen Marketing Group has recognized Simpson Strong-Tie with its 2014 Preferred Supplier of the Year award. It is one of only five companies honored with this distinction this year.
Evergreen created this award to recognize its top distributors and manufacturers based on multiple criteria, including contribution to the group, growth, participation, and member and supplier input. Simpson Strong-Tie ranked 10th overall in 2014 for total Evergreen member purchases.
"Simpson Strong-Tie has established itself as one of the leading preferred suppliers in Evergreen since they joined the group," said Evergreen CEO Kevin Higginbotham. "In addition to becoming heavily involved in our training and education programs, Simpson Strong-Tie is also extremely engaged in Planning for Profit and other group activities. They earned supplier of the year recognition as a result of this hard work and commitment to the group."
Simpson Strong-Tie joined Evergreen as a preferred supplier in 2009 and has been working hard to establish itself in this organization, said Mike Clemente, Simpson Strong-Tie director of Business Development – Infrastructure, Commercial & Industrial (ICI).
"We are proud to have earned this significant achievement in a relatively short period of time," Clemente said. "This award recognizes our effort, and motivates us to continue improving our level of sales support going forward."
Evergreen members represent a group of well-established distributors from the Specialty Tools & Fasteners Distributors Association. Founded in 1989 by six construction/industrial supply distributors, it currently consists of 69 distributors with more than 280 locations in the United States and Canada, and has combined revenues of more than $1.6 billion. Evergreen preferred suppliers are national companies widely recognized as leaders in their fields, providing the highest quality industrial products together.
Pleasanton, Calif. Simpson Strong-Tie is proud to once again join other industry associations and organizations in supporting the International Code Council's (ICC) 2015 Building Safety Month in May. As a Major Sponsor, Simpson Strong-Tie is encouraging the industry and the general public to learn more about ways to make buildings, homes and decks safe and strong.
Building Safety Month is a public awareness campaign during May to help individuals, families and businesses understand what it takes to create and sustain safe and sustainable structures. As an annual event, this years theme is "Resilient Communities Start with Building Codes." The four-week campaign focuses on key safety areas each week, including fire safety and awareness, disaster safety and mitigation, backyard and pool safety, and energy and green building. The overall goal is to reinforce the need for adopting modern, model building codes as well as implementing strong and efficient code enforcement. To learn more about the campaign and how to get involved, visit www.buildingsafetymonth.org.
"Simpson Strong-Tie structural products help people build safer, stronger homes, buildings and decks," said Karen Colonias, CEO of Simpson Strong-Tie. "We're proud to support Building Safety Month and the efforts of code officials to ensure these structures are safe."
As a sponsor, Simpson Strong-Tie has several resources that help support the initiatives of Building Safety Month, including educational materials about designing and building homes and buildings to resist earthquakes and high winds as well as building and retrofitting code-compliant outdoor decks. These resources can be found on the Simpson Strong-Tie homeowner website, safestronghome.com.
Pleasanton, Calif. Simpson Strong-Tie, the industry leader in engineered structural connectors and building solutions, now offers its patented, high-strength Titen HD® screw anchor for concrete and masonry in 1/4" diameter.
This new size offers optimum performance in both cracked and uncracked concrete, as required by the 2012 IBC for post-installed anchors. The newly redesigned anchor has all the features of the original Titen HD plus optimized thread geometry and the 1/4" diameter.
The self-undercutting, non-expansion characteristics of the Titen HD anchor make it ideal for structural applications, even at reduced edge distances and spacings. It is recommended for permanent applications in dry, interior, non-corrosive environments or temporary outdoor applications.
Other key features include:

Pleasanton, Calif. Simpson Strong-Tie announced it will make a $10,000 donation to assist in relief response and recovery efforts following the 7.8 magnitude earthquake and powerful aftershocks that shook Nepal on April 25.
The epicenter of the earthquake was the village of Barpak in the Gorkha District. The quake and aftershocks resulted in thousands of lives lost, twice as many injuries and hundreds of thousands of homes and buildings destroyed across the country.
The donation will be given to the American Red Cross Nepal Earthquake Relief Fund and will aid in providing food, shelter and other assistance to those affected by the earthquake. The company is also encouraging its employees to contribute to the fund.
"Two years ago, I had the amazing opportunity to visit Kathmandu and I'm saddened to think of the overwhelming devastation for the families and communities of Nepal," said Simpson Strong-Tie CEO Karen Colonias. "We hope this donation can help contribute to the recovery there."
To make a contribution and aid in the earthquake recovery efforts through the American Red Cross, visit www.redcross.org or send a donation to your local Red Cross chapter.
Pleasanton, Calif. The new Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Wall Bracing Selector web app provides pre-engineered Strong-Wall shearwall alternatives to code-prescribed braced wall panels.
Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Wall model numbers and foundation anchorage designs are established to meet job-specific requirements and provide the narrowest bracing solutions possible. This new tool replaces the Strong-Wall Shearwalls Prescriptive Design Guide.
"This app automates our 84-page design guide. With a few easy steps, a designer can select a solution to meet the exact amount of bracing that is required," said Sam Hensen, Simpson Strong-Tie vice president and general manager, Core Products Group. "This new tool makes it easier to specify equivalent solutions and also provides builders with all the information they need to submit to building departments for permit approvals."
The Strong-Wall Bracing Selector web app can be used in conjunction with the Simpson Strong-Tie Wall-Bracing-Length Calculator web app, which helps calculate the required length of wall bracing per the 2009 or 2012 IRC®. After the wall-bracing length requirements are determined, project information and bracing requirements can be exported to the Strong-Wall Bracing Selector.
To use the app, go to www.strongtie.com/software and click on the Web tab. The app includes a step-by-step tutorial along with a design example.

Commends the Black AIDS Institute and Supports Congressional Black Caucus's
Call to Action
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- AIDS Action Council congratulates the Black AIDS Institute on today's release of "We're the Ones We've Been Waiting For," its latest report on the state of AIDS in Black America and what black communities are doing about it. AIDS Action Council also welcomes and supports the Call to Action issued today by Members of the Congressional Black Caucus for a mobilization to end the epidemic in black America and for the development of a national AIDS strategy in the United States.
The report provides an update on the HIV/AIDS epidemic's impact on black Americans, including the percentage of people living with AIDS in each state who are African American, as of 2004. In 15 states, more than 50% of the people living with AIDS are black. The report gives updates on HIV testing, prevention efforts, and the state of treatment among black Americans and gives an overview of what is being done to combat HIV/AIDS through the Black AIDS Mobilization.
"The latest report by the Black AIDS Institute starkly reminds us of the impact that HIV/AIDS is having on black communities throughout our country," said Rebecca Haag, Executive Director of AIDS Action. "In the 27th year of this epidemic, it is shameful that we have the numbers documented in this report, highlighted by the fact that in 2004, 50% of new HIV/AIDS diagnoses were among black Americans. This underscores further the need for a national AIDS strategy, for which over 100 organizations are calling. The centerpiece of a national AIDS strategy must be addressing and ending the epidemic in black communities throughout America."
In releasing its report, the Black AIDS Institute also announced a
major initiative to test 1 million black Americans by Dec. 1, 2008. "We can
do this and we will," stated AIDS Action council Board member Tony W

It's a small world and a beautiful tommorrow.
... undoubtedly the best part of my Christmas break.
I headed on a bus from New York to Boston, which took 4 � hours, whereupon I
was convinced I'd accidently caught a bus to Maine or Cape Cod…I arrived
safely, although a little later than planned! The following day, embarking upon
the Freedom trail was an interesting experience. Travelling through Boston, I
admired the beautiful Boston Common, the grand State House, and the graveyard
where ...
The Magic Kingdom
... pain. I did nothing except the very basic and slow ones, but thats me! Queuing wasn't too bad, they usually provided relief from the heat, with fans and shade. The weather changed at about 7pm and the rain and thunder arrived as well as lightening, which is the reason they stop you swimming in the pools and close the outside rides. After 10.5 hours we decided to end our time at The Magic Kingdom. What a great ...
The Magic of Disney
Disney World; what a trip that was. Four worlds in five days and it was go, go, go the whole time. Our exhaustion was fed even further with the high level of activity happening in this place but what else could we do - it was Disney after all. I keep thinking of how lucky our kids were to experience everyone's dream of visiting Disney with their closest friends. The Silanesu, Dukuly, McNeill, Devlin, Walker and Weeks ...
... of mini golf it Winter Summerland, the mini golf is so good here it is worthy of at least one blog entry to itself, so I won't elaborate here.
After golf we grabbed a quick lunch before heading to Epcot. First stop was Test Track,this was great fun, the line was 100 minutes, so we were very glad of our fast passes. You basically design a car, I was with Indie and ours was soooo cool, then you scan your Magic Band when you are about to enter ...
A Contiki Adventure- pt 1
... trip. We will let you know though that we were shocked that one group (after paying $53 each to do the tour) on the first clue decided it was too hard, worked out the last clue (I would say it was google) and took a taxi straight there (another $30), and then said how silly and expensive it was (they skipped the free drinks and food due to the taxi). Comes back to you get back what you put in!! The following day we bussed to Panama city beach were we had a room ...

Mine has arrived too.
I have grown a Silver Birch in a pot and it is doing well as you can see. I have also got Lilacs and they flower beautifully every year. Anything can be grown in a pot if you water and feed well.
I have just taken this picture of my Fox Glove with a hungry Bee inside, you can just see his legs.
Click on the link figrat the photos are on photo bucket. I don't know what the roses are called but your pictures are lovely and so is your garden Karolina.
I always pinch my sweetpeas out before they go outside. If you keep them well watered and fed they should do fine. I feed mine with tomatoe food and seem to get lots of flowers. Here is what I am growing mine up this year, hoping for a wall of colour. Good luck with yours and keep us posted on how they get on.
I always leave my runner bean roots in the ground but I have never experienced this. I always cut them off well below soil level. I wouldn't dig it up either just to see what happens, you never know you may get the most fantastic beans you have ever had.
If it is Russian Vine I agree with Kate1123 get rid of it. It is also called mile a minute plant because it grows so quickly. It does look very pretty when it has its white flowers on it, my friend had one growing at the bottom of her garden but they do take over. You can upload your photo Bluemoon2 just click on the icon that looks like a tree in the bar above.

I found this scrub for $11.50 on sale from $19 and thought I would give it a try. I have been impressed. I wouldnt call it a full scrub. It is more like a face wash with some exfoliating properties. If you are looking for something coarser like Clinique's face scrub that is like a paste, then this is not it. That said, the smell is great, it only takes a dab to lather up and get your whole face and neck and it leaves you feeling refreshed. I use it twice daily instead of my normal face wash and really like it. If you can get it on sale, it is well worth it.
Its balanced perfectly, at least for my sensitive skin. Only a small amount is needed and your face and neck feel amazing after washing it off.
This was a good scrub - it definitely gets the job done. The smell is amazing (it has a hint of orange to it). It will last you a long time.
I have been using this product for about two weeks now and I am sorts indifferant. Not a bad scrub, but nothing makes it stand out as great.

i will be in sacramento because that's where my homies are.
how far is your gym from there, and is it possible to get a place to stay (couch maybe?)
EDIT: nevermind, it's the same distance as memphis to new orleans.
so, we still need a cage/ring in sacramento/san francisco.

By "Serge's Gym" do you mean Cheetah Muay Thai in Oakland? That's where the last TD/GS was (Sirc/DTT), and that's where Serge has been teaching, unless he's got another school.
If flying into Sacramento is too far, the Oakland Airport is much more accessible to anything in the Bay, either San Francisco or Oakland.
