The BLACK+DECKER Codes for Homeowners 4th Edition is a DIY-friendly guidebook to building codes that shows you just the information you need for the codes that actually impact today's homeowners.
Get those home projects you've been putting off done—and up to code. All of the most common standards are addressed in this new edition of BLACK+DECKER Codes for Homeowners, including plumbing, electrical, mechanical, and construction. This guidebook goes beyond simply reporting the codes, it interprets them for you and explains them clearly, with color photos and simple graphics. This 4th edition is current with the 2017 National Electrical Codes, 2018 Uniform Plumbing Codes, and 2018 International Residential Codes.
Written by national codes expert Bruce Barker and created under the supervision of BLACK+DECKER Corp., Codes for Homeowners does what no other code book accomplishes: it makes codes and building standards simple to understand and visualize, so you can be assured that your DIY projects are safe and will pass inspections.
Building codes change; most do so on a three‑year cycle. Many code changes are little more than rewording or reorganization in an attempt to make code provisions easier to understand and easier to find. Many code changes and additions are substantive, and homeowners should be aware of these as they perform repairs and remodeling projects. Substantive additions and changes are the reasons for this updated edition of Codes for Homeowners.
Interior and exterior stairways are regulated closely by most codes because they are inherently very dangerous parts of a house. Many of the regulations deal with lighting issues, including the type and location of fixtures and switches.
Door and Window Hazards
You may have seen pictures of people severely cut when they fell or were pushed through doors and windows containing regular glass. Regular glass usually breaks into large pieces that can cause severe injury. Safety glass shatters into very small pieces that are less likely to cause severe cuts.
Structural Requirments
A safe and healthy building begins with a solidly built structure. The building's foundation should rest on stable soil and should be strong enough to support the home during normal conditions as well as during disasters, such as hurricanes and earthquakes. The building's floors, walls, and roof should be secured to the foundation and to each other and should be strong enough to support the home during extreme conditions.
Shingle Roof-Covering Installation
When it comes to installing roof coverings, it can be a little hard to define where enforceable codes end and ordinary best practices begin. But it is safe to say that most codes contain guidelines for installing roof coverings that, if followed, will ensure a long-lasting roof that keeps moisture from penetrating your house.

No problems
I receive very fast my book as always... Amazing service!
Wonderful book for do it yourself home owners.
It is a wonderful reference book if you like to do it yourself and you want to make sure your project meets the latest codes. I am building a staircase in one of my rental properties and I found the information I was searching for in the first couple pages of this book.

This article refers to a product (Appesat diet pills) that is sadly no longer for sale online or offline. It acted as a powerful appetite suppressant, much like PhenQ which I am glad to say is still available.
Although not new to the market, it still remains an effective appetite suppressant that can help you:
- Avoid hunger pangs throughout the day
- Resist snacking
- Feel less hungry
Cilck here for my full PhenQ review
Sometimes we can stick rigidly to a diet, but fall prey to temptation when we are still hungry after meals. In my workplace, there is often a queue for the vending machine around 3pm of people with flagging energy trying to get a quick pick me up to get them through until the end of the day.
But just one unhealthy snack a day could up your calorie intake by 500 calories, around a quarter of the recommended intake for women (1/6 of mens intake). For that amount of calories you could have a satisfying meal without the guilt. And some of us are having 2, 3 or more snacks full of unnecessary calories every day which will lead to almost guaranteed weight GAIN.
My interest was piqued by headlines calling Appesat "The gastric band pill". I found myself thinking, can a pill really have the same effect as a medical procedure? Here I review Appesat, a natural appetite suppressant that can help control those cravings that drive us to overeat.
How does Appesat work?
Appesats key ingredient is Bioginate Complex, a fibrous seaweed extract with some key properties that help appetite suppression:
- It stimulates sensors in the stomach wall that send signals to the brain telling it that it is full.
- The key ingredient is resistant to stomach acid so can remain active in the stomach for a long time without being broken down.
- The two properties above combine to ensure you achieve a feeling of fullness that remains during and a long time after eating.
- As a result, you will want to eat less, and when you do eat you will feel full more much longer (reducing the temptation to snack)
One of the main benefits Appesat has is its ability to retrain your body to naturally want to eat less food over time. This is particularly useful for those who find themselves overeating and snacking.
Is Appesat safe?
Appesat contains 100% natural ingredients and is completely safe to use. One advantage is that it helps you to avoid that yo-yo dieting effect of putting on all of the weight you lose after coming off a diet. This is because its effects are so long lasting and that it retrains your brain to want to eat less naturally.
How much weight can I expect to lose?
Appesat is clinically proven to increase weight loss by up to 67% over just dieting alone. Appesat has gained a cult following amongst celebrities, and the testimonials are glowing.
Most importantly, real people are seeing results as well. Here is what some customers had to say:
UK TV presenter Vanessa Feltz lost 13lbs in 4 weeks on Appesat
"My colleague recommended Appesat and said it was like a gastric band pill, I thought I'd try it and it worked from the first tablet I took. I was leaving food on my plate and the weight started coming off and staying off."
"Appesat has really helped me reduce the amount I eat at meal times and stop snacking inbetween meals. I have lots more energy and have started walking to work instead of taking the bus. I've lost 3 stone already and have more to go, soon I will be able to say I am half the person I was."
Where can I buy Appesat?
Appesat is no longer available to buy both online and in stores, but as an alternative powerful appetite suppressant, I suggest PhenQ as a great alternative.

Hi, I'm Aileen, the owner of Diet Pill Judge. I have personally tried loads of diet pills over the years and found that only a few of them really work.
My background is in science, so I set out to find supplements that have scientific evidence behind them and which I can confidently recommend.

Contra Diction
MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, who, almost arrogantly, pronounces each and every letter of every syllable of every word she speaks, grates on my nerves sometimes.
We know you're smart. We know you're Ivy League educated. But do you have to go out of your way to elocute even the soft sounds at the ends of words? "…spiked(a) the punnncchh att my best(a) friend(a)s graduation(a) parttee." She sounds as if she is spitting out fish bones when she says words like, "terrorrisstss." Gotta get that darn, tricky "ess" in at the end! Wouldn't want to appear ordinary.
If she just spoke like the rest of moderately educated humanity, she could save about fifteen seconds of dialogue per every minute of talking. She could winnow her show down to a half hour!
She sounds like a COGIC preacher.
It's like listening to Niles Crane recite Shakespeare while gargling marbles. I feel like the next thing she is going to say to me is, "turn(a) lefffft in two pointt threee my-uls."
Maybe it's just me… I've been ill-tempered lately.
What's so Amazing about "Amazing?"
Why do some people use that word so much? Especially in reality shows like "The Real World," "The Bachelor," "Rock of Love," and any other show where people who don't know each other and are thrust together for the sole purpose of hooking up while we voyeuristically watch? Celebrities wear it out, too! "The director was amazing." "This movie was an amazing experience!" "Angelina was just so amazing that I just had to leave my first wife — who used to be amazing. Not so much now…
Overkill indeed! And it's always spoken with three "a's" in the middle of it for emphasis and extra amaaazingness. "I had an amaaazing time." "You're an amaaazing woman." "Your body is amaaazing!" You would think they were juggling chainsaws and baking a cake while breastfeeding twins and bathing a cocker spaniel while looking super-hot! Now THAT would be amaaazing!
It is so awkwardly obvious what is going on. It is the verbal equivalent of buying a woman a drink in a club. As subtle as renting a porno movie.
They can't ALL be amaaazing, can they? If they are, why are they lined up to do reality shows? If they are all amaaazing, where are the regular people? If every thing, situation, and blonde, and brunette is so amaaazing, why is the world so jacked up? If every parent, every child (mine are!) and every relationship is amaaazing, what do we say when we see a nine-month-old who can read, or a savant who can't speak but can play Chopin, or Stevie Wonder, or Ben Carson, or that father who pushed his paraplegic son through an entire marathon because of a prior wish? Nope. Can't call it amaaazing because you guys totally, literally diluted the uniquity — if you will — of that term to make some floozy think you were intense!
Save the superfluous superlatives for superlative situations. (I had to sit back and admire that one! Sorry.)
That goes for "miracle," and "genius," too!
PROnunciation: Nunciating for money.
I was on the road this past weekend working with a different band, and my friend, Curtis, and I got into a conversation about how unsatisfied and unhappy I was in the group in which I normally play.
"I'm a disgruntled employee," I said. I paused, "Hey, man, what's up with that word? You ever thought about it? Every time somebody shoots up a post office, or a place of business, they are always called, 'disgruntled'." He laughed.
"I mean, have you ever heard somebody use the word, 'gruntled'? 'I was disgruntled yesterday, but I got my check in the mail, an' I'm pretty gruntled today!' " We both fell out laughing.
"Yeah," Curtis said, "DIS- is a prefix, and you would think that the root word would stand alone. But I've never heard that word, 'gruntled' before. Man, you're crazy! You think about some weird stuff!" Laughing.
"Naw, man, I'm serious! I been thinking about that for years! I think about that kind of stuff a lot. Like look at the word 'unscathed'. When was the last time you heard about somebody being in a car wreck on the news, and the reporter said, 'Yeah, the victim got scathed up pretty good. He was so scathed that he is in critical condition.' And what is 'critical condition' anyway? Is that when you are hurt up so bad that you get two thumbs down? Or does it mean that the doctors all crowd around you and criticize you, like, 'Wow! That's terrible! Awful! Look at how his leg is bent! He shoulda known better than trying to ride that motorcycle drunk!'?"
We laughed non-stop for about five minutes.
I love words!
DISgruntled, UNscathed, DISpensed (Has anybody ever "pensed" you?)
What are some others?
Use COCKY in a Sentence.*
Guys I grew up with had the funniest way of butchering words, with their "domino pigeons" (doberman pinschers) and "speed thermometers" (speedometers). Scratching a chalkboard would make your "flush cross," and a luxury automobile was a "Catlack." They used to say "Holy GOAT." As in, "Eric caught the Holy goat last night at the revival."
I pictured my friend chasing this funky billy goat around some hay-covered pen and tackling him in a cloud of dust. I figured that there must have been a cool reward for catching it!
There were WAY more than six degrees of separation between these guys and a dictionary!
Today, people still have misconceptions about God, the Holy Spirit. Jehovah's Witnesses call "it" an "active force," like electricity, while many Charismatics think He only functions to pounce on you like a vampire and make you fall out and flop around like a catfish in a rowboat!
We, as Christians who ardently seek to defend our Faith from those who would wish to distort it, must be sure to accurately define the terms we use — especially when dealing with essential matters like the nature of God — when dealing with our neighbors.
So, when you hear Juanita call herself a "prophetessss," or when Creflo says "ye are gods," or when Paula, Eddie, Crouch, Benny, or the rest of the "pack" use the term "sow a seed," see what they mean by these words, and see what the Bible says. Find out what the Word of God says about the "power of the tongue," and "healing," and God's sovereignty, versus what the Word of Faithers say.
Or else you could wind up on the wrong end of that Eternal Stintchin' Cord! An' you don't want that!
*"My daughter thew my COCKY down tha sink!"
ed. I, of course, am not belittling my own people here. I grew up in this environment, and so have a shared experience which makes it not mockery to laugh at things which I used to do myself. The grace of God allowed me to have two teaching parents who insisted that I learn and that I navigate the waters between a colloquial way of speaking and an orthodox one.
Makin' Grosy
So, since I work at night, and Kathy is on max-swole* right now, I do a lot of the grocery shopping. Trying to be a good husband. I tend to make fun of the way we black folk tend to speak down here in the South, and as such, what follows is the phonetically-spelled-out list of items for purchase:
Grosy Liss
Mennit Rise
Gobbitch Bags
Pento Bens
Hole Chikums
Crem uh Chikum
Crem uh Mushrome
Unyun Soop Miks
Murk (a Memphis thing, sadly)
Jeffey Conebred Miks
(And then I had to go to the)
Butey Suplie Stoe (to buy an afro)
The problem came when, because of my own smart-aleckiness, I found myself repeatedly standing in the middle of an aisle (dodging old ladies) frowning, trying to figure out what the– heck "Sereul" was! I thought I was being funny, and instead wound up being the butt of my own joke! No social or underlying Christian message this time. Just something funny that happened to me today.
The black folk will know what these words say. White folk, ask your black friends…
*Extremely Pregnant!
Candy Dates
Why are they called "candidates" when they are never CANDID about anything?
Juanita: The Transparent TeleVANDAList.
You ever had a feeling about someone, an inkling, an undelineated indication that you can't specifically identify? I know you have. We all have from time to time. I have had this feeling on numerous occasions, and have been wrong a couple of times. However, I have been right a LOT.
The person about whom I have this feeling currently is Juanita Bynum, the -self-proclaimed, self-fulfilled (pun)- prophetess. This feeling does not stem from my bitter aversion to her abuse of doctrine, or of her OBVIOUS prostitution of the Word and name of the Lord for her own personal accruement of wealth. (No, I am NOT jealous of her! No more than I would be jealous to usurp the position of anyone who would dare put a millstone around his own neck in the enterprise of misleading baby Christians!) No, this is not about her abominable doctrine.
I've heard her screeching at the top of her shrill voice countless prophecies that did not come to pass. I've heard her say some of the most inappropriate, titillating things on the altar of the Lord that appear to be only for shock value. The shrieks of her mostly female audience prove my point. To her proponents, she is only being "real." She intimidates those in her presence in a quite masculine manner. I've heard her demanding folk to empty their bank accounts and send them in. I've heard her speak of having "intercourse in the spirit(!)" with a male televandalist, and heard her justify this statement by saying "you have to have a male and a female" to do this! I've heard of her blessing out a woman in front of an entire assembly who DARED enter a thousand-dollar line with only fifty dollars! I have heard her torture the Scriptures in a more efficient fashion than an abattoir overseer!
I have heard all this and much more that I've forgotten, but her heresy is not my issue right now… When I hear her speak, I hear a profound arrogance. A pronounced self-importance! I get the sense when I hear her, that there's no one in that room on her level. No one as important as she. The words she speaks seem to roll syruptitiously (my word) down her surgically reconstructed nose to the longing ears of her eager thrall.
I cannot STAND arrogance! How dare we seek to take credit from the Lord for any ability or blessing? Yes, one may claim to give God the glory, but their actions usually spell out the truth. She may claim humility, but she fairly drips with hubris.
I remember her relating a story one time recently where a niece of hers asked for a key to Bynum's house. Bynum reproved her shrieking, "Naw, honey! I got MILLIONS in my house!" Her audience hummed approval; "Yeh, she DO! Umm-Hmm. Thass right, gurrl." ARROGANCE. She often has her audience at the point where she can say just about any crazy thing without fear of reprisal.
I come from a neighborhood where a lot of "worldly" guys lived. We had a pimp named "Percy" who lived down the street and always kept a yellow Cadillac and a woman with a rabbit fur coat on. Percy the Pimp!! The man next door did time for accessory to murder in the commission of an armed robbery. His son would lie and say, "He gone to the Army," or, when we found out he was in prison, "He stole a lawn mower."
There was a housing project in the neighborhood behind us, and when it was built, bikes mysteriously began coming up missing, and fences were erected in previously open yards. There were people who had a little, and people who had nothing, all living in the same neighborhood. We had police officers, teachers, like my parents, laborers, drunks, and hustlers, all there on Gainsville. There was a time when I was fairly gullible. I was quick to trust and believe the word of someone I thought my friend, because I thought the world was a nice place when I was five. I soon learned that if I were going to make it, I would have to be able to discern the truth from a lie. You see, a liar is not going to come straight out and say, "Okay, I'm gittin' ret ta tell a lie, but ack like you believe me anyway*!" I had to get burned a few times before I figured out how to spot a liar. I had a guy in the second grade tell me that if I gave him my Hot Wheels '68 Cougar, he had this machine at home that could turn it into a fancy CORVETTE! I'm STILL waiting on that car… You don't have to have grown up on the streets to recognize a hustler when you see one, but it doesn't hurt. (I saw Kobe's arrogance WAY before he got into trouble!)
Watching Bynum on video doing an interview on her recent, alleged, beating at the hands of her Rook-I mean-Bishop husband left me with the sense that something was amiss. She was double-talking, contradicting earlier public statements in which she stated unequivocally that, "even if we KILL each other," she would not leave her husband. Here, she emphatically pronounced the marriage over. She seemed the perfect victim: a few tears, an uncharacteristically calm, demure demeanor… All who know her story know that she is the dominant partner in the union. Just look at some of their photos.
She has spent most of her on-air time since then touting her new destiny as the "Face of domestic abuse." Not a scratch to be seen on that face. Now, I don't expect her to come right out and say, "I'm gone ride this hoss till it DROP!" (that would be counter-productive) But something in her words and manner says just that! Growing up as I did makes me kind of recognize when someone is "Runnin' Game,"** as we say.
I noticed that she said repeatedly, on the video, that she would not disparage Weeks, "As long as he is my husband." (transparent statement) But I also heard her repeatedly refer to the occurrence as "a parking lot incident." Over and over. I was reminded of Mark Antony's clever speech in Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar." He claimed that he came not to praise Caesar, but to bury him, all the while subtly turning the crowd's wrath on the men who murdered him while constantly repeating that they were "All, all honorable men." I don't know if the "Prophetess" ever read the play, but I recognized the strategy, and she employed it deftly!
I have seen the faces of beaten women, and they look just that. Beaten. Why do I have to pause here and say that any man who hits a woman is a punk? Of course that is the case. If he did it, HE needs to be medicated in the same way, so to speak. But I suggest that even if he just pushed her down, or tripped her, she can SAY that he did whatever to her, and will automatically be believed. I have seen it happen. Why were there no pictures of her face?
Why did she go after him when he chose to leave?
If you are going to fight in a parking lot, you'll fight in a restaurant. If he was that angry, he would have done it inside. They are both public places.
The bellhop said THEY were fighting, not just that he was beating her.
She has used her platform as a motivational speaker (that's all she really is) cleverly enough so that her legion of fans need nothing but her word that he did whatever she says he did in order to be convinced. She is so arrogant and prideful, that she, supposedly a minister, adamantly pronounces the marriage over- with NO adultery, the ONLY Biblical reason- and states that she would have to give 250% to her union in order to save it, while her ministry, her DESTINY, is more important, requiring only 190%! Does she not know that God says that you sin if you forsake marriage for ministry? Is it more important to be the the face of domestic violence than to lead souls to Living Water? Or, is it simply more lucrative?Does not Christ and the Gospel suffice? Should she not concentrate on proper exegesis and marital soundness? Should she not learn how to-Biblically- submit her pride and arrogance as a proper wife?
Has she not made a cottage industry out of "teaching me how to love you," and counselling couples and "ministering" to hurting women who need a good man? Should she and her husband already know how to navigate such waters as these? Don't they know that God can fix anything? Are her "millions" more important than her standing before the God she claims to serve and obey?
I guess I write this because I know that she is about to milk this incident dry. At the expense of women who really have been brutally abused and murdered at the hands of their husbands and boyfriends. I am tired of her ubiquitous presence on "Christian" airwaves. I am sick of hucksters, pimps, and dream-sellers abusing those really in need, and unlearned. I am sick of the arrogance and pride with which they so boldly bilk the multitudes. It is just another business angle for her, and I'm frustrated because it is all so transparent.
There is just something about her demeanor and attitude that rubs me the opposite way. Something in that shrill, croaking voice that does not impress upon me the love of God… There appears to be a character chip missing from the programming. I don't see that she truly respects people. Certainly not the ones whom she demands empty their bank accounts and such! There is refuge for her, I guess, in the fact that I'm not a prophet, not a mind-reader. But I know I'm right, and many of you feel it too. Is that what the Bible calls, "discernment?"
Maybe. However, I can't stand arrogance in people. It's okay if I esteem you, brother, as better than me, but humbug it if YOU esteem yourself so! How dare you, Rosie O'Donnell, or Trump (Paula White's landlord), or T.O., or Bynum, or anypuffed-up "Apostle," or "Bishop," or any other phoney prideful prognosticator seek God's prominence for yourself based on how much money, or power, or influence you have?! I don't hate you, but according to I Cor. 5, specifically, verse eleven, I wouldn't, don't have to, even EAT with you, or anyone so haughty and disingenuous as to claim Jesus and be so obviously, repeatedly, out of His will. Get fixed up. Quickly.
Pride goeth before the fall, baby girl! Thass Proverbs 16:18!
*"I am preparing to prevaricate. Conduct yourself as though you are benighted to this fact!"
**Being deceptive
Words. They make a STATEMENT!
"Words are the most powerful human force in the universe."I know that that is not a statement dripping in profundity, but sometimes the most powerful Truths are the most simple. A genius in a wheelchair can cripple a strongman with a well-turned insult.A word as simple as "What," can cut a parent, husband, or wife swiftly and cleanly through sinew and bone straight to the heart easily enough to make a scalpel seem like a wet sock.
Had I, as a child, uttered that word in response to a summons from either of my parents, I truly would not be here to write this blog. At best, I would not be a whole man. (Words are so strong that my critics will feel justified in completely ignoring the hyperbole implicit in that statement and accusing my parents of murder or, at least, assault and battery)
In that way, and NOT the magical, mystical misinterpreted sense of some popular preachers (Creflo Dollar, Joel Osteen, Oral Roberts, Juanita Bynum), "There is life and death in the power of the tongue!"
If my wife innocently calls my name while I'm watching a game and I reply with a sharp, "What!?," the bells I'll hear ringing in my head won't be from the sublime soundtrack of my life! I'm only joking, but I know that that is probably the reality of some of you readers. For you, the ringing will mean that it is next week and you can go ahead and get up off the floor.
Kids, in only four or five years of study– less time than it takes one to get through medical school or seminary training– can become expert enough at the use of words to scar their little playmates forever. They are cruel urchins unencumbered by the burdens of tactfulness and decorum. Who among you doesn't still feel the slightest twinge of anguish at the memory of that cute girl telling you, from above her nose ,
"Uhhh! Naw, I don't wanna GO wit chu!!!" Or of a kid in your neighborhood telling you,
"Those shoes outta style, an' you wore that shirt yesterday. You can't afford no new stuff, 'cuz yo daddy ain't got no job, an' y'all on food stamps, an' y'all lights always gittin' cut off!"
And Lord help the one who had the nerve or dubious judgment to say, "Thass ya MAMA!"
At least, that's the way it was for Black folk! SOMEbody was gonna catch a mouth full of folded up fingers!
In all of those cases, the proper choice of words would have wrought a different outcome. Words have gotten me into fights and arguments, and they have saved me from getting stabbed or fired.
A well-placed, unsolicited, "I love you" can carry a person through a lifetime. It doesn't cost a thing to tell someone "Thank you." Call a friend or relative out of the blue and say some nice things about them- genuinely- and watch the blessing that follows. Don't use harsh words with your spouse, use EFFECTIVE words. There is a difference.
Stop your kids from "talking crazy" to you, for they WILL carry that behavior with them elsewhere.
This country, America, has a history which is stained indelibly by the fact that some people chose -choose- to believe that they were- are- intrinsically superior to any others. See how I used words to dance deftly around the word, "racism"? There are many words used in our language to slur, slander, demean and diminish those of other races. We all know them, and many of us use them. (The funny thing is that all who do still consider themselves "good people") These words, uttered by the wrong person at the wrong time, will drag the needle across the record and stop the party!
I have been victimized in often subtle ways by the negative application of words of this fashion. It is a strange feeling to go through life knowing that a group of people with the most power often use that power to press into the mud the faces of those who look different. Words are usually the conveyance of that action.
While nowadays overt gestures are frowned upon, the words are still alive:
"He is so articulate."
"He is a naturally gifted athlete."
"We have already rented that property."
"Blacks were the first here, in an evolutionary sense.
And as the species developed, intelligence increased."
"Yes, Mr. Williams, let me show you the radio in this new Cadillac!" I could, of course, go on and on…
Language. A beautiful, ingenious concept. The ability to do more than make indecipherable gestures and grunts to communicate with each other, and we choose to use it to attempt to crush the esteem and Godly image of those with whom we live. Simple words. A collection of letters and a group of sounds combined to either uplift or enrage. They can bring unexpressable joy, or unbearable despair.
The engine of politics and international diplomacy is the spoken word. Every single letter is parsed with achingly tedious detail. Words determine war or peace, amity or enmity. Tone and context are only of minor import when held up next to what was SPOKEN. They won't care what you meant, only what you said.
Athletes, often unaware of the dangers inherent in public speaking, fall prey to unscrupulous reporters (the new "lawyers"?) itching only to stoke the embers of controversy. They wind up with a twisted quote attached to them for life.
Said Charles Barkley; "I am NOT a role model."
What I heard was, "Parents, be your kids' role models. Don't let them admire some athlete or musician more than they do you! Teach them the value of hard work and education."
What every sports reporter (Jay Marriotti, Skip Bayless, Jim Gray, etc.) heard Barkley say was, "I will do WHATEVER I wanna do, and I don't care about what no KIDS think about it!"
What l'm saying is; Think long and hard about what you say before you say it, and make sure that you can convey EXACTLY what you mean to. Don't give anyone the power to twist your words into something else. Don't say what you don't mean to say.
Learn to use language, like currency, to your advantage. Learn to turn a phrase, or cleverly construct an argument. To young , Black kids I would say, "There is no shame in being well-read." I would love to get to the point where I don't hide all my pin numbers and money in books when I leave the house, because the OLD adage no longer applies!"*
As I said to my wife once upon having used a word the meaning of which she did not know, "You gotta go where the WORDS are!" She laughed. I hope you did, too.
Words are free but valuable. They flow like rivers, fluidly, endlessly. Sometimes safe to use, sometimes not. But never to be wasted. They are to be saved and calculated. Prudently utilized. God will check our accounts when we meet Him. Shall we pour them all out carelessly in caustic showers upon the heads and hearts of those with whom we share this existence?
Words can be chosen like clothes from a closet, and the more of them you know, the more options you have at your command. The more of them you know, the more hues and shades you can use to color your conversation. The more wisely you choose them the more accurate impression you can make. Choose your words as though they were the shirt, jacket, and tie you wear at a job interview or on a date. Clothes don't make the man, WORDS make the man.
* That adage being that Black folk won't ever crack open a book.

DJ Daniel Pereaux has graced the decks of the most kickass events, all over the globe. With his energetic sets, he will yet again be providing the cool, feisty soundtrack for the spectacular Showers 2017, happening on the 8 July at Café Del Mar.
We got together with Daniel to find out what this 28-year old dude from Sweden is all about. We kick off our interview with the obvious…How would Daniel describe Daniel? "A guy with a huge appetite for life and music. It's not so complicated you know, trying to find a positive vibe in life's every situation, no matter what," he says cheerfully.
This sets the tone for the rest of our interview. Daniel seems to be the kind of guy who is a treat to be around; his sunny attitude to life is infectious. So how did he find himself here? "Music has always been a huge part of family life. Mum sang in church and dad dropped disco tracks at his own parties as a DJ – it was all there. I actually started out with radio, I was about thirteen and started hosting my own radio shows on the internet. Through these channels, I met some interesting DJs, which really fired me up about the whole DJ thing.
I loved music, so I reasoned why not try to mix my favourite tracks? So, I got hold of a software called PCDJ and started practicing. I started DJing at small parties, like my little sister's disco. What a blast! At sixteen I bought my first mixer, a Numark CD-MIX3. I couldn't believe it was so hard to actually mix for real, it was really frustrating. What I didn't know was that the mixer I bought was a karaoke machine! Well, finally I managed to get the hang of it, turned seventeen, started playing clubs and the rest as they say is history," Daniel explains.
He recalls his first ever gig, "My first club gig was at a venue called Escobar, I'd heard that the coolest DJ in my town was placing there. So, I got there early, asked for Tommie (the famous DJ), who was sat there with a beer in hand, contemplating life before the chaos. I somehow convinced him that I could mix, he let me have a go and since then he has been my mentor. The only problem was that I was then still seventeen, but the club bouncers didn't know that," he grins mischievously before continuing, "there have been so many special moments throughout my career. I mean, my first gig was definitely one for the books. I could say my top three remain Bråvalla Festival (Sweden), Hall Toll (Stavanger, Norway) and of course Showers (Malta)."
Daniel reckons that 70's disco has been a huge influence on his music; Sisters' Sledge, Earth, Wind and Fire, in other words the iconic sound of the era as well as DJ's Erick Morillo for that groovy sexy sound and of course the Swedish mavens, Axwell, Steve Angello, Eric Prydz, Avicii, Ingrosso. He lists Earth, Wind and Fire as his all-time favourite artists, "To be able to sing, play and create that kind of music, both live and recorded just blows my mind," he claims.
The music scene is constantly evolving, how does Daniel reckon it has changed from the time when he was just starting out? "It's been massive. There is house music everywhere, festivals in every city of the world. As a DJ it's been great to be able to grow and evolve together with the scene," he says. Is there anyone on the planet he would love to collaborate with in future? "That would be Axwell, no two ways about it," he says adamantly, "that would be a great day." Speaking of which, what does he consider to be the pinnacle of his career to date? "That would have to be the first time I had the opportunity to play outside my city, and they actually paid me to get there," he laughs.
But enough about the DJ…In a major catastrophe, what is the one single thing that there's no way he'd leave behind? He promptly replies without even thinking, "That would be my family, of course! By comparison, nothing else matters!" Considering his laid-back attitude and cheerful disposition, has Daniel any pet peeves? "Not many, but negative people tend to p*** me off," he says.
And finally, if DJ Daniel Pereaux had to be someone else for a day, who would he be? "Zlatan Ibrahimovic of course! Who else?" he concludes with his ever-present cheeky grin.

Get ready for Winter this Cyber Monday on lookfantastic. Coming into the Winter months, your hair can suffer from the sharp drop in temperature, which zaps away any moisture, leaving you with split ends and dullness. Adding in a moisturising hair mask will leave your locks healthy, luminous and strong.
Hair masks might seem like an indulgent treat, but they are actually an essential part of any healthy haircare routine. Think of your shampoo and conditioner as your cleanser and moisturiser, and your hair mask as the weekly nourishing face mask that adds a boost of hydration to your locks.
The Fine Hair
Fine and dehydrated hair can be difficult to treat as any moisturising treatment can be too heavy and weigh it down. Opt for creamy consistencies that work into your locks but that can easily be rinsed out so no greasy residue is left behind.

Travel insurance is an important part of going away. Whether you're travelling around the UK or going abroad, make sure you and your travel companions are protected with comprehensive cover.
Travel insurance with pre-existing medical conditions
Admiral offers both Single Trip and Annual Travel Insurance with three tiers of cover to choose from: Admiral, Admiral Gold and Admiral Platinum.
Emergency medical treatment & repatriation (Limits up to)
Cancellation or cutting short your trip (Limits up to)
Personal belongings (Limits up to)
Money & documents (Limits up to)
Read the full list of benefits in the policy summary booklet.
Make sure you're covered and fit for travel
Fit for travel means you're healthy and able to travel without concern. If you're in any doubt, speak to your doctor. You won't be covered if your doctor considers you unfit for travel.
Before you buy or renew your cover, you need to state if you or anyone named on your policy has a pre-existing medical condition. This includes medical conditions you've had within the last two years.
You should also let us know if anything changes with your health at any point after taking out the policy.
We need to know about:
- Advice, treatment or prescriptions from a doctor
- Investigation of your health or waiting for diagnosis
- Being on a waiting list for inpatient treatment or knowing you need inpatient treatment
What's a pre-existing medical condition or illness?
If you're unsure about your condition, speak to your doctor. Then call Medical Screening on 0333 234 9913 to see if we can cover you.
Our pre existing medical conditions list includes:
- Cancers
- Heart conditions (irregular heartbeat/angina/heart disease)
- Diabetes
- Circulatory conditions (strokes/high blood pressure/high cholesterol)
- Breathing conditions (asthma/chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD))
- Gastro-intestinal or digestive conditions (Crohn's disease/IBS)
- Bone or joint conditions (arthritis/gout)
- Psychiatric or psychological conditions (anxiety/depression)
- Terminal prognosis
If you make a claim for injury or illness, we may need to contact your doctor for your medical records. You may not be able to claim if you refuse access. Medical examinations (or post-mortems) may also be required if you claim.
Why do I have to tell my insurer if I have a pre-existing medical condition?
Having travel insurance for existing medical conditions means you're fully covered should anything happen on your trip relating to your pre-existing condition.
If you require medical assistance, the experts at the emergency assistance service will be able to advise you on the best care.
We may refuse a claim if it's connected to a pre-existing medical condition you haven't told us about or we learn about any medical conditions that weren't declared.
Claims are also often denied for people who:
- Travel against the advice of their doctor, or don't seek advice where travel would have been denied
- Travel to receive treatment e.g. an operation in a foreign country
- Fail to take necessary medication e.g. any prescribed medicines or inoculations
Can I get cheap travel insurance with a pre-existing medical condition or will my price be more expensive?
It's not impossible to get cheap travel insurance with pre existing medical conditions, but you shouldn't sacrifice cover for the sake of paying less.
Your insurance cost usually depends on:
- Number of travellers on your policy
- Where you're travelling to
- The type of pre-existing medical condition(s)
I was diagnosed with a medical condition after I booked my insurance – am I still covered?
Yes, usually, if:
- Your doctor says you're fit for travel
- You've told us about these changes to your health
When you tell us about a new medical condition and we agree to cover it, you may have to pay a bit more.
If we can't cover you or you don't agree with any changes to the terms and conditions, you may be able to cancel if your holiday hasn't started, and you should get a full or partial refund.
Can I make a claim once I return home?
Claims for medical emergencies should be made while you're away from home on your trip. Retrospective claims aren't normally considered, no matter how costly or minor the treatment.
As soon as you need medical care abroad, contact the emergency helpline on +44 (0)292 010 7777.
Non-medical claims, for example claiming back money spent, can be submitted when you're back home. If you're in any doubt, it's best to contact us to check, or visit our Make A Claim page for more information.
Your questions answered
Is asthma a pre existing condition for travel insurance?
Yes, it is. Check the policy book for the full list.
Does travel insurance cover medical expenses?
You'll be covered up to the limits shown on your policy for any reasonable, necessary costs relating to emergency medical, surgical and hospital treatment. This doesn't include treatment in a private facility, or anything carried out in your home country after returning home.
Can you get travel insurance with COPD?
COPD is on our list of pre-existing conditions you must declare when buying your insurance, so call Medical Screening on 0333 234 9913 for more information.
Can you get travel insurance with cancer?
Cancer is one of the pre-existing conditions you need to declare when buying your insurance. Call Medical Screening on 0333 234 9913 for more information.
Does having a pacemaker affect travel insurance?
If you have a pacemaker, it'll need to be declared to us when you take out the policy (or when you have it fitted if this is done after you've taken out the policy). You can still get travel insurance with a pacemaker.
Why do I have to provide my medical details to get a quotation?
Declaring your medical details will ensure you are buying a policy which meets your needs. It's important you supply accurate and complete answers to all questions as failure to do so could mean your policy is invalid and/or your claim is not paid in full or refused.
Do I need to declare existing medical conditions to get Admiral cover?
Declaring your medical conditions will ensure you are purchasing a policy which meets your needs. It's important you supply accurate and complete answers to all questions as failure to do so could mean your policy is invalid and/or your claim is not paid in full or refused.
Can I take out insurance if I am currently being diagnosed, under referral, awaiting an operation or haven't been discharged from outpatient care?
Unfortunately Admiral is not able to offer cover in these circumstances, but there are other specialist insurers who may offer cover for travellers in the above circumstances.
What happens if I need replacement prescription medication when I'm abroad?
Please make sure you take enough medication to last your entire trip and include extra to allow for travel delays that may occur.
If you run out of prescription medication because you were unable to return home as planned because of illness or injury, we will pay for the cost of additional medication (a policy excess may apply).
If your medication is lost or stolen, we'll refund you the cost of replacing it (a policy excess may apply).

Top 7 Places To See Bonfire Night Fireworks In Cornwall 2017
The 5th of November is almost upon us and for those of us that love the smell of gunpowder and the taste of toffee apples, it's a very exciting time! Unfortunately, the list of firework displays in Cornwall is dwindling due to overzealous health and safety fears. To make sure everyone gets to stuff their face with toffee & lovely bonfire smoke, I thought I'd create this list for those of us (like me) who's villages have cancelled their usual displays.
Erreeeeee's the roundup of where to see the best bonfire night fireworks in Cornwall!
Truro, Tremorvah Fields (3rd November)
This event has proven so popular that it's now in its 10th year! This year there will be a bigger fireworks display than ever before, including a huge bonfire. The usual food and drink stands, sparklers, snacks and glowsticks!
Money taken from tickets will go towards the Cornwall air Ambulance and Penhaligon's Friends. The party starts at 5pm, the fire is lit at 5.45 and the fireworks kick off at 6.45pm. No sparklers allowed for safety reasons!
Tickets are £3 for adults, £1 for children
Malpas, Heron Inn (4th November)
Also on the 4th, the Heron Inn is hosting a fireworks display overlooking the river Fal. Hundreds of people attended last year so this year is set to be a blast (har har). Fireworks will be set off on a pontoon in the river where they reflect spectacularly on the water. A hog roast IS being served from 5pm as well as pasties and delicious mulled cider! Fireworks start at 6.30pm and you don't need tickets.
Pool, Heartlands (5th November)
This display was pretty spectacular last year, and this year it looks like it'll get even better. Although only it's 6th year, this display has been incredibly popular, with 8,000 people attending last year. There will be live music and lots of delicious food and drinks stands!
The idea was always to keep the display free, but money for the stewards, infrastructure and safety equipment needed means donations are very welcome!
The event starts at 6pm. (parking charges may apply)
Bodmin, Priory Park (5th November)
Bodmin is putting on probably the most spectacular bonfire display, especially for sci-fi and music lovers. your efforts should be This huge firework display accompanied by some of your favourite sci-fi music. It's the biggest display in Cornwall and there will also be fairground rides and food stalls to make sure you feel sufficiently car sick on your schelpp back home. No sparklers allowed for safety reasons.
You can get tickets in advance for just £3.50 for adults and children £2, otherwise they're a bit more expensive at £5 and £3 on the door. The gates open at 6pm and fireworks start at 7.30.
Just in case you've forgotten how awesome fireworks to sci-fi music are, here's one from Disneyland to remind you…
Penzance, Rotary Club (5th November)
The famous local Golowan Band are providing live entertainment at the Magpies Football Ground whilst a "fantastic bbq" is served up to guests. Doors open at 6.30pm and the professional fireworks display start at 7.30 pm.
Porth, Newquay, The Mermaid Inn (5th November)
In true Cornish style, head down to see fireworks on the beach in Newquay. There's tasty food available from the Mermaid Inn and you can even bring your own sparklers! Doors open from 6-9pm.
Plymouth Hoe (5th November)
If you're up near the border, head over to Plymouth Hoe around 7.oopm for a huge bonfire and a great view of the fireworks being let off from the Royal Citadel at 8pm. Fairground rides and food stalls open at 4pm and there will be a variety of music and entertainment.

Hello friends!
We had some fun this week playing with sidewalk chalk.
Sidewalk Chalk Paint is the perfect boredom buster for those lazy summer days!
You only need a few ingredients for each paint colour:
1/4 cup of cornstarch
1/4 cup of water
food colouring
Mix the cornstarch, water and food colouring to create a variety of shades of paint.
We used this handy vegetable tray as our paint palette.
Once mixed be sure to stir the paint often as the cornstarch tends to settle to the bottom.
You can also add more water to thin the paint out and have it last a bit longer.
We took our paint outside and the boys had a great time painting the sidewalk, creating roads for the ants and drawing their names.
Have you made sidewalk chalk before? How did it go?

A Midsummer Night's Dream
by William Shakespeare (1600)
Act 2 Scene 1
Oberon - Male, 35 to 50 yrs
Scene partner - Puck
Monologue - Comedic, 1:00 to 2:00 min
I pray thee, give it me.
I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine:
There sleeps Titania sometime of the night,
Lull'd in these flowers with dances and delight;
And there the snake throws her enamell'd skin,
Weed wide enough to wrap a fairy in:
And with the juice of this I'll streak her eyes,
And make her full of hateful fantasies.
Take thou some of it, and seek through this grove:
A sweet Athenian lady is in love
With a disdainful youth: anoint his eyes;
But do it when the next thing he espies
May be the lady: thou shalt know the man
By the Athenian garments he hath on.
Effect it with some care, that he may prove
More fond on her than she upon her love:
And look thou meet me ere the first cock crow.

We work with you from your first enquiry to understand the goals you have for your awards dinner and the services you're looking to include, from catering and audio-visuals, to IT systems and designed venue spaces.
Which venue space would work best for my awards event?
Here is a list of our venue rooms, each with its own unique features and layout, and a capacity size to suit both the largest and most intimate awards events.
- The Porter Tun has a capacity of 300-1000.
- The King George III has a capacity of 300-450.
- Queen Charlotte has a capacity of 100-200.

Can I hire more than one room to use for my awards dinner/event?
Some of our rooms are interconnected or joined, meaning that we can be very flexible when it comes to linking spaces and hiring multiple rooms. Organisers should be able to use different rooms in conjunction or use one as a breakout area and another as the main stage area.
Can you provide food for my guests?
Our specially tailored menus are perfect for awards events. Our award-winning chefs recognise that food is one of the most important aspects of your awards dinner and will pay particular attention to providing cuisine that complements your evening and stands out as a feature of your event. Find out more about our food and drink.
Where can my guests leave their coats and bags when they arrive?
We have a complimentary cloakroom that all guests can use to leave their belongings in a safe and secure location. In addition, we have 24-hour security so all guests of your awards dinner will be able to enjoy the event knowing their valuables are safe.
Where is The Brewery?
Our venue is located right in the heart of the City, nestled in between London's financial district and the creative community of Shoreditch. We occupy the old Whitbread buildings – which have been located on the site since 1750 – and we are close to Liverpool Street Station, Moorgate Station and Barbican Station. We are also served by at least 10 bus routes.

Turn Your Amazing Customer Service into Your Best Salesman with a Testimonial System
When you visit a new town or look for a new service, how do you know they will provide you with excellent service? You might be like most people and you see what other customers have to say about the business. You look at how many stars were given, the comments and feedback left on the company's website and other rating services.
90% of business owners let testimonials or reviews happen naturally. They figure "if people like me they will say something good". While that may be true, it's more common for people to share their negative experiences with the world. I had a client who ran a local auto repair business. He performed FREE service for an individual to help them out and was still given less than a positive review. Why? Well sometimes people just have bad days and they take it out on the local business. There are other times when your employee may have provided bad service and you were busy handling something else and were unable to fix the situation.
The key to getting great testimonials is:
- Have a system that asks 100% of your customers to provide a testimonial. The system needs to touch them at least six different ways to ask them for a testimonial of their experience with your company.
- The testimonial they provide needs to be available for ALL future customers to see. They need to see it and it needs to be performed in a way that it positively affects your search engine results. You might think that "I don't want people to say bad things". The truth is that there are people who will say negative things. A well done testimonial system counteracts the negative. It will provide you with a steady stream of new customers who "had to check out what everyone was saying".
