UltraJoist, the super dry construction timber produced by Glenalmond Timber has had its superior spanning performance acknowledged by TRADA. The span tables produced for Glenalmond Timber by the industry research body clearly demonstrate that, for an equivalent cross sectional profile, UltraJoist will out-span an equivalent ibeam.

The tables, available from the website www.ultrajoist.com, were produced by TRADA to provide independently calculated figures for the innovative solid timber system. In some cases, for example, a 45 x 220 UltraJoist beam will outspan a 60 x 220 ibeam.

The span tables have vindicated all we have been saying about the performance of Ultrajoist and they enable specifiers to select the most appropriate size of timber. We have also had the timber sizer application developed which can be downloaded from the Ultrajoist website, it will perform all of the required calculations.” explained Fraser Steele, MD of Glenalmond Timber.

The more we can use real, solid, FSC Certified timber in all aspects of construction, the better for the environment. Solid timber is well understood, we have been using it for thousands of years and we know how it performs over a variety of conditions and over time. The only difference is that Ultrajoist remains dimensionally stable.” he added.

A full set of span tables plus the timber sizer can be accessed via the Ultrajoist website – www.ultrajoist.com.

Bankruptcy is still an available option to most Americans in financial difficulty. Creditors can be stopped, and foreclosures can be prevented.

Recent changes in the Bankruptcy Laws and the publicity associated with them has led many to believe that Bankruptcy is no longer available as a means of avoiding unbearable debt. This is not true.

In 2005, Congress passed sweeping legislation, sponsored by the Consumer Credit industry, which changed the requirements for seeking Bankruptcy relief. Since the 2005 amendments to the Bankruptcy Code there has been a lot of misinformation regarding the accessibility of the Bankruptcy Courts for Americans in financial difficulty. But Bankruptcy is not dead.

In fact, today, most Americans in financial difficulty can still use the Bankruptcy Courts for protection. There are two ways to establish your eligibility for a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy.

One way to establish eligibility for a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is to show that the household’s income, for six months, is less than the national median income for the same size household (adjusted for each state). Of course, many households in America make less than the median income while a similar number make more than the median income.

For those households that make more than the median, there is a second test to establish eligibility for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. However, the second test is more complicated. The second eligibility test is based upon whether most of the household’s income is needed for the necessities of life. Many American households, today, use all of their income, and more, for the necessities of life. This second test, therefore, affords eligibility to many households which make more, sometimes much more, than the national median income.

We find that more than 75% of the individuals that consult with us regarding Bankruptcy protection are eligible under the 2005 Amendments to the Bankruptcy Code. This, of course, requires a careful analysis by an experienced Bankruptcy Lawyer.

Before the law was changed in 2005 many lawyers and paralegals dabbled in Bankruptcy. Today, many of those lawyers and paralegals will not. The State Bar of California, Board of Legal Specialization certifies the competency of Bankruptcy Specialists so that a client seeking the advice of a Bankruptcy Specialists can be certain that the chosen lawyer is competent to protecting their interests.

In these troubled financial times there is one portion of the Bankruptcy Code, which specifically affords protection for people under the threat of foreclosure. Chapter 13 of the Bankruptcy Code allows for homeowners to stop foreclosure proceedings and force their lenders to allow sixty months to pay back arrearages. This is just the relief that many American Households need.

Here too, the eligibility for a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is something that should only be analyzed by an experienced Bankruptcy Lawyer. The specific financial facts for each individual must be review in determining whether Bankruptcy is a good idea. But, it is still available and makes good sense for many financially troubled Americans.

Bankruptcy is not dead but alive and well as a tool in the hands of an experienced lawyer to protect valuable assets and financial well-being.

New Website Is the Perfect Marriage of Traditional Dating and Online Technology

www.ResumesForRelationships.com

If you’re at a networking event looking for a business relationship, you’d most likely hand out your business card to potential partners and associates. So if you’re looking for a romantic relationship, it only makes sense that you’d hand out your “relationship resume” to potential mates.

That’s the way Sabah Green, founder of ResumesForRelationships.com, looks at it. She recently launched the site to enable singles to create their own relationship resumes. Singles also can create E-cards that can be customized and printed out, then handed out – in person – to those who catch their eye. The E-card reads, “Check out my Personalized Resume @ ResumesForRelationships.com,” and instructs the recipient to log in with a profile ID number and password that provide access to the stored resume.

“It’s all about the eye contact,” says Green, who describes her concept as bringing people back to traditional dating … but with an online twist. “It’s a great ice-breaker.”

Here’s how it works:

– Single create an online resume with free setup.

– Subscriptions run for one month at $9.95, plus an additional week at no cost.

– After the 37 days have expired, the resume is hidden on the site until the monthly fee is paid again.

“Unlike other online dating sites, we do not use automatic billing,” says Green. Her business philosophy is the same as her dating philosophy: Be honest and straightforward. “After my divorce, entering the singles scene again was a bit nerve-wracking, to say the least, so I created a service that embodies my philosophy.”

While ResumesForRelationships.com is a fresh, new approach to meeting one’s mate, Green still is quick to emphasize the traditional approach as well – the importance of making personal connections all year round. “You never know where you might meet someone. It could be at the corner coffee café or the cleaners,” she explains. “With an E-card to hand out inviting someone to view your relationship resume at our site, you’re good to go.”

The resume itself is very in-depth, with questions ranging from light (“What are your hobbies?”) to serious (“Are you fearful of commitment?”).

Her words of advice? “Get out there and find joy, happiness, and much love in your journey of finding your perfect mate!”

VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA – CADlance.com, responding to industry demand, launched today as an online marketplace with the purpose of linking employers with qualified professional freelance engineers.

Recently I had the opportunity to have a travel taste of some of the countries that belonged to the former Yugoslav Republic and the 13 days of travel through historic towns, national parks, swimming in the warm azure waters of the Adriatic Sea, strolling through evening markets and outside cafes, combined with the sampling of regional cuisine has left me with the strongest desire to return to this part of the world and become better acquainted with the peoples and culture of these countries.

We were fortunate to have a local guide who had a good command of English, knew the countries well, and was able to brief us on most cultural and historical aspects.

We found that many people spoke English and other European languages, and hence communication was not a problem. A plus was the fact that people were friendly and helpful, and on the whole we felt very safe strolling through the streets at night, and not only in the crowded tourist areas.

The quality of food was excellent… seafood was fresh, a great variety, and on many occasions, even less expensive than in Australia. The same can be said for the selection of alcoholic beverages, and for those who have a sweet tooth…prepare the waistlines, for, ……I found my heaven!!!!

Take an empty suitcase if you want to shop… the shop windows display the latest fashions, you can find whatever you need….and at affordable prices….So leave time to shop!!

This part of the world at the moment will not break your bank budget, so if planning to go… do not put it off !! It will not be long before these countries mimic the rest of Europe and prices will skyrocket. And this part of the world has it all…. great weather, beautiful beaches, cosy /modern cafes and restaurants where food is savoured, memorable scenery, ancient monuments, and summer cultural programs that cater for all tastes. Tourist offices are plentiful and very helpful, so planning your own itinerary is not a problem. Whether the choice is an organised tour or a self drive, this part of Europe is an absolute delight!

SLOVENIA

Slovenia was our first introduction to Eastern Europe.

We arrived in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, by train from Vienna, in mid August, 2007. August turned out to be a perfect month to travel as the weather seemed perfect…. Not hot, not cold, temperatures of 24-30 degrees. Fewer clothes to pack, and the other bonus was the fact that the usual horde of tourists seemed to be waning so entry queues did not snake endlessly. It is a member of the EU and the currency is euro.

Travelling by train enabled us to view in comfort the landscape of forests, fields, and colourful villages.

Ljubljana is a delightful city that lends itself easily to walking through the beautifully preserved Baroque quarters of the Town Square, as well as the Art Nouveau buildings like the Dragon Bridge and the Castle Hill – a medieval castle that dates to the 9C, but excavations indicate Roman settlement. Actual Slav settlement dates back to the 6thC . Numerous cafes line the riverbanks, an open air market sells an array of fresh produce from cheeses to berries, and handcrafted wares. During the summer months there are continuous concerts and exhibitions to suit the tastes of old, young, modern or traditional

Our accommodation was in a refurbished hotel, ‘Hotel City’, that was centrally located to both old and new town centres. The rooms are small but clean , and the restaurant and breakfast buffet provided a selection of good food.

BLED

Bled has been described as ‘the jewel in the crown’ of Slovenia. Breathtakingly beautiful. It is Slovenia’s only island that has a fairytale medieval castle. The lake is surrounded by alps – and hence: mountain walks, fishing, golf and sheer relaxation. For those who paint, it is one of the most beautiful places on this planet!!!

Bled also is an internationally recognised health resort – providing thermal waters, alpine air, beautiful surrounds and a temperate climate.

CROATIA

Travelling across these countries, especially if car, one needs to allow time for traffic congestion on the motorways… both in kilometres and in hours. Buses, cars and trucks, trucks, trucks….The local radio regularly gives updates on traffic jams so it is wise to tune in… and have a supply of food and music in the car to pass away the time in the traffic queues!! And then at the end, pay up at the toll!! Taking the scenic routes is often not only faster, but also more interesting . The coast is dotted with wild growing figs that are absolutely delicious! A temptation to stop and pop some in the mouth! And no flies!!!

Mesa, Az. Febuary 19, 2008

A Mesa, arizona man has been requested by the Tourism Office on Christmas Island to help to encourage travel to the island. Mr. Robert H. Allen, a retired Computer Consultant, is trying to raise capital to start a souvenir store by acquiring the equipment so the citizens of Christmas Island can print t-shirt, mugs, plaques, tot bags, etc.

Chistmas Island has a population of 6,000. Tourists last year to the island were approximatly 2,500. This will increase by approximetly 500 this year.

Mr. Allen is trying to raise between $30,000.00 and $35,000.00, which would be more than adequate. This enterprise is to be owned and operated by the citizens of Christmas Island. Mr. Allen is receiving no salary for this, he is volunteering to do this. The reason for doing this service is that Mr. Allen spent 6 months working on the island in 1962, in which time the United States was testing 24 nuclear weapons. Before the US, Great Britain tested its nuclear weapons there in late 1950’s. Mr. Allen believes that it is time to give back help to the citizens by expanding tourism.

In 2005, when Congress made sweeping changes to the Bankruptcy Code, they left virtually unscathed the Chapter 13 Bankruptcy provisions designed to save a home from foreclosure. Today, in the face of massive foreclosures, many families are unaware that Chapter 13 Bankruptcy may still be used to prevent foreclosure.

There are three different types of Bankruptcy that are generally available to individuals:

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy (sometimes referred to as a liquidation) is the most common. In this Bankruptcy qualified individuals are allowed to discharge most of their unsecured debt in exchange for allowing their non-exempt assets to be liquidated by a Trustee.

Chapter 11 Bankruptcy (sometimes referred to as a business reorganization) is expensive and typically reserved for business or individuals with substantial assets and substantial income. Chapter 11 allows debtors to reorganize their debt and pay their creditors over time. The amount that they pay depends upon the value of their non-exempt assets. The amount of time allowed is based upon current and projected income.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy (sometimes referred to as a wage earner’s reorganization) is relatively inexpensive and exclusively for individuals with the ability to pay certain required obligations within a three to five year period. The amount that needs to be paid over a three to five year period is determined by the value of non-exempt assets, the amount of certain non-dischargeable debts, and current income.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy allows property owners who are delinquent on their mortgage payments to abruptly stop foreclosure proceedings. This is true for any type of Bankruptcy filing, up to the day before the foreclosure sale. But Chapter 13 is uniquely structured to allow the property owner to pay the delinquency in equal monthly installments over as much as sixty months (the PLAN). So long as the PLAN complies with the technical requirements of the Bankruptcy Code, there is no need to get the lender’s agreement to the PLAN.

It is true that Chapter 13 Bankruptcy has rather stringent qualifications, including total amount of debt and ncome. It requires a competent Bankruptcy Lawyer to analyze the specific debt and income facts to determine if the property owner qualifies. But assuming a property owner can meet these qualifications, Chapter 13 provides a mechanism for them to stop the foreclosure and protect their property for five years … or at least until they can find a buyer at a reasonable price.

Time is the primary benefit. Chapter 13 will provide the time needed to ride out the current emergency.

Shamrock Consultancy Services, an Irish Bulgarian property development company has recently extended its services to clients who choose Bulgaria and other countries as their holiday destination with the acquisition of Discover Bulgarian Hotels, an internet based hotel booking company offering the cheapest discount hotel rates worldwide and with over eight hundred hotels in Bulgaria.

The company – who announced earlier their plans for a new development of luxurious ApartHotel and holistic spa resort near Karlovo, Bulgaria – is now providing an online woldwide hotel reservation and booking system to enable its clients to get the most out of discounted hotel rates offered internationally.

According to SCS, Bulgaria is considered as the fastest growing tourism and property investment market in Europe. Summer tourists are attracted to the beautiful white beaches along the Black Sea coast and Bulgaria’s long hot summers, while in the winter luxurious ski resorts such as Bansko and Pamporovo cater for the winter sport fans.

With the constantly rising prices, buying property in Bulgaria is one of the best investments that one can make these days with prices likely to increase even further, making Bulgaria now the third most popular holiday destination after Spain and France for British, Irish and German holiday makers.
Bulgaria not only offers one of Europe’s most attractive and unspoilt holiday destinations it is also host to what will be one of the most dynamic and as of yet relatively untapped property and real estate markets.

With the newly acquired hotel business, Shamrock Consultancy Services has dramatically increased its position in the overseas property and tourism market and aims to roll out its online hotel booking services to online carhire and worldwide flight reservations at the cheapest and best price available.

Global style magazine fashion156.com’s London Issue is now live showcasing the new AW 08/9 collections of up-and-coming Brit designers in an issue dedicated to London’s avant-garde tribe of rising stars.

Capturing the dark, intense mood that seems to be prevailing this season, fashion director Guy Hipwell has selected designers who are not afraid to take risks and push the creative boundaries. Rodnik, J.W. Anderson, Hannah Marshall, Jean Pierre Braganza, Ana Sekularac and Bjork & McElligott are featured in a 20 page editorial, shot on location at The Wapping Project in London’s east end.

Interviews with jewellery/menswear master J.W. Anderson, milliner extraordinaire JSmith Esquire and On|Off’s founder Lee Lapthorne offer readers a true insight into London’s mood as Fashion Week approaches.

fashion156.com will also be shooting a live interactive story at On|Off which will be uploaded immediately to the daily blog. Readers will also be taken on a virtual tour of events in the form of cutting-edge show reports, and insider news and images from the after-show parties.

Guy explains: ” I am incredibly inspired by the new collections and the amazing underground buzz that is building. There are so many brand new designers presenting in some form this season and they are the ones fashion156.com will be shouting about. Yes, some of the pieces are purely for the runway, but radical can always be toned down…for me it’s “out-there” over bland any day.”

When you have a mortgage on your home, you technically don’t own that home. So long as you owe money to the mortgage lender, they have control over the property. This won’t generally be an issue except in situations where you are unable to make your mortgage payments. If this is your situation and you are fearful of a foreclosure in your future, then you need to know about another option – the pre foreclosure sale. In a nutshell, a pre foreclosure sale means that you are able to sell the property and apply the proceeds of the sale toward the amount you owe on your mortgage. A pre foreclosure can save you from the mountains of paper and headaches associated with a foreclosure, not to mention the impact a foreclosure can have on your credit rating.

On the other end of this foreclosure problem is the real estate investor.

Many real estate investors are taking advantage of the huge inventory and are investing in foreclosures. This tactic allows you to buy quality properties for pennies on the dollar. With the recent real estate crisis, there are many foreclosures on the market to choose from.

Calgary, Alberta (Feb 5, 2008) – Need an extra PC around the house? Userful is giving away its innovative software that gives you a second computer for free. They had such a warm response to their holiday giveaway that they have decided to continue giving away the software. It is the perfect way to reduce line-ups for the computer as spouses, parents, and children battle for a turn.

Userful’s Desktop Multiplier software turns one computer into many, enabling a single computer box to support multiple users at the same time. Simply connect an extra monitor, USB keyboard, and mouse to your standard computer box and this software makes it possible for two users to work on the same PC at the same time.

“The free two-user giveaway doubles the utility and value of your existing computer with minimal cost,” says Tim Griffin, President of Userful. “In fact, if you already have an extra monitor and keyboard, it’s like getting a free computer.

Userful is giving away its eco-friendly software to show how much un-tapped value lies hidden in today’s Desktop PCs. “Environmental responsibility is increasingly on all our minds,” says Griffin. “Maintaining an extra PC is a lot of work, and not everyone can afford a second home PC. We had such a warm response to our holiday giveaway that we decided to continue giving away our software. Everybody likes something free, and it doesn’t get much better than a free PC with zero environmental footprint. The opportunity to help make a difference is very satisfying. We’re hoping that people will see how well this software works at home and start recommending it to their workplace or school as a way to save the environment and save on IT costs. We’ve also added a live CD meaning you can carry it with you and transform virtually any PC into a two user computer.”

Userful’s Desktop Multiplier software can create up to 10 independent workstations from a single standard PC box. This software is being used around the world in schools, libraries, hotels, and other businesses and has provided huge savings on desktop computing costs by reducing the number of computer boxes that need to be purchased and maintained. Userful is quickly becoming the standard for green computing worldwide. Attaching 10 monitors, mice and keyboards to a single computer reduces CO2 emissions by up to 15 tons per year per system and reduces electronic waste by up to 80%. Userful recently stated that in the last year their software has saved over 13,250 tons of CO2 emissions, the equivalent of taking 2,300 cars off the road.

The free two-user licenses distributed under this promotion enable users with an extra video card (or a dual-head video card) to add an extra workstation by simply plugging in a spare monitor, USB keyboard and mouse. Thousands of users have obtained free two-user licenses and information about the promotion from http://userful.com/products/free-2-user . There are two free downloads available: a Live CD, which allows you to turn your PC into 2 independent workstations without affecting any of the software on your hard-disk, and one for users already running Linux.
About Userful (www.userful.com)

Userful software lets you multiply and manage your desktops: multiplying your hardware investment by delivering up to ten workstations from just one standard PC, and managing them all at once through a central web-portal. Privately held and founded in 1999, Userful was recently named Alberta’s 10th fastest growing company under $20 million in revenue. For more information, visit http://www.userful.com
