(PRWEB) May 18, 2012

National Home Improvement Month officially kicked off on May 1st, and contractors are hoping that remodeling fever will kick in now that Spring is in full bloom. Homeowners often think a remodeling project is as simple as 1, 2, 3, and while that can be the case, no one can deny the horror stories that come from an ill-planned home renovation. Experienced contractors and remodelers chimed in on “remodeling nightmares” in a recent USA Today article, advising homeowners on how to get through tough remodeling experiences. When the contractor does rip out your master bath wall only to go on vacation, homeowners should have a plan to cover this and also protect themselves against such events. RemodelingCentral.com took the 1,2,3 idea and created a remodeling nightmare prevention guide that shows, step-by-step, how to make a remodeling project work and avoid the pitfalls of those lesser-prepared folks.

“Basically, homeowners are focused on time and money, and to make a remodeling project work, you have to carefully plan for both. This is what the guide helps you do,” said Jeff Giles, owner of First Impression Interactive, which created RemodelingCentral.com and who has experienced the woes of remodeling before.

“No one wants to live in half a house with the other half gutted out unless they know it’s going to be worth something in the end,” added Giles.

With that in mind, developers behind RemodelingCentral.com created a guide, which starts with a substantial planning phase called “Analyze the Numbers,” followed by “View Home Remodeling Ideas.” What does the project look like in the end? How does the design compare to others? How much will materials and labor cost? Can this by a DIY project? The guide aims to answer those questions and with the aid of substantial how-to articles, tips, problem fixes and remodeling tool guides, RemodelingCentral.com fills in the blanks for those seeking to remodel.

Several parts of the guide can be tricky for any novice or advanced home remodeler. How to sketch a plan? Who’s the best contractor? Is financing available? The guide simply directs the remodeler who doesn’t know where to begin, but several pages on RemodelingCentral.com will give homeowners the answers, such as how to sketch plans for a new bathroom or tips to comparing contractors, and even how to arrange financing for home remodeling projects that go beyond a small budget.

The whole point is to get to a finished project that delivers on the dream. Using the guide and information on RemodelingCentral.com, homeowners with a DIY nature or remodeling beginners can develop a plan of action to get things done. RemodelingCentral.com provides all types of project ideas and pictures to aid in any home remodeling project, from major kitchen overhauls to fixing the leaky shower head in your bathroom. Visitors can also contact RemodelingCentral.com staff to ask questions which are answered on the daily updated blog.

Irving, TX (PRWEB) May 17, 2012

The global automotive seat industry is expected to reach an estimated US $ 66.5 billion in 2017 with a CAGR of 4% over the next five years. Growth in Asia Pacific and the BRIC nations is anticipated to drive the industry during the forecast period.

Lucintel, a leading global management consulting and market research firm, has analyzed the global automotive seat industry and presents its findings in “Global Automotive Seat Industry 2012-2017:Trend, Profit, and Forecast Analysis.”

The automotive seating industry includes cushion and back frames, slide channels, coverings, pad assemblies, recliner assemblies, and motors. Volatile raw material prices of lead, steel, urethane,and resin,as well as restrictions on the availability of raw materials, energy, and product components adversely affectedseat suppliers’financial performance in both 2010 and 2011. Strong domestic demand in the Russian market andmore flexible monetary policies, however, are expected to result in double-digit growth in the BRIC nations in 2012.

The APAC region is expected to experience robust growth in vehicle demand through 2012 and beyond, mainly driven by China and India. Strong output recovery in Japan and Thailand is expected as the automotive sector increases efficiency to fulfill pent-up demand, clear product backlogs, and rebuild inventory in the wake of the natural disasters that occurred in 2011. A combination of factors such as currency exchange rate, governmental regulations, fluctuations in consumer taste and preferences, and safety regulations all impact industry dynamics significantly.

This study provides an overview of the global automotive seat industry. The report tracks one market segment for four regions, North America, Europe, APAC, and Rest of World; thus, it tracks four segments of the global automotive seat industry. This report is limited to automotive seat manufacturers that supply end product to vehicle manufacturers. This report does not include other automotive components such as dashboards or exterior body parts.

“We Got The Beat” percussionists check the acoustics at Marimba One

Arcata, CA (PRWEB) May 17, 2012

At noon exactly on a super-sunny Saturday in April, Brenda Myers pulled up to the Marimba One shop in Arcata, California.

Her tour bus was loaded with more than 60 people — percussion students traveling to Arcata for a performance with Eugene Novotney’s famed Calypso band at Humboldt State University (HSU).

Brenda, a long-time Marimba One fan, brought her students to see first-hand how a marimba is built. As they watched in amazement at how a bar is tuned, a fifth grader exclaimed “I want an internship here,” while another kid shouted, “I want to sleep under the marimba!”

That evening’s performance got them the best ovation of their lives. “They were great kids,” enthused Eugene Novotney, Professor of Music at HSU.

     About Marimba One

Marimba One is the world’s premier maker of concert marimbas. Located in the college town of Arcata, nestled in the Redwoods of California, the company makes custom marimbas, giving great attention to the sound that customers want on their instrument within their budget.

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) May 08, 2012

ATEN today announced here at Interop Las Vegas the availability of a new product line of green solutions, which consists of PDUs (power distribution units), eco sensors and lightweight LCD consoles. ATEN’s suite of green products addresses the power consumption and excessive heat dissipation challenges of data centers by increasing energy efficiency and managing environmental factors. ATEN’s green solutions product suite includes NRGence™, a line of eco PDUs and eco Sensors, and the CL3000N, an industry-first, lightweight LCD console that serves as the front-end console for compatible KVM switches. Interop Las Vegas 2012 is being held from May 6-10 at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

ATEN NRGence provides instant, real-time power management control and energy-saving efficiency by enabling IT managers to easily upgrade current IT resources quickly and cost effectively. With the use of dynamic Rack Cooling Index (RCI) and Return Temperature Index (RTI) by zone, eco Sensors software, in conjunction with sensor-enabled eco PDUs, gives IT managers the means to assess, diagnose and estimate how and where energy can be saved.

Expending only 72.9 BTUs an hour and 21.4 watts, the eco-friendly CL3000N is far more energy-efficient than its competitors, saving up to 55 percent in power consumption. The CL3000N utilizes LED backlighting for its LCD flat panel instead of the cold cathode (CCFL) technology used in other LCD displays. LED backlighting is responsible for the CL3000N’s distinguishing features, including a thinner panel (and, consequently, lighter weight), lower energy consumption and more efficient heat dissipation.

“Over the years, eco-friendly evolved from a novelty to a business necessity,” said James Hsieh, ATEN CEO. “The importance of energy-efficiency is something we’ve been hearing from the market and our channel partners, and we’ve responded in full, offering a range of products that helps their customers maximize energy throughput, lower costs and protect the integrity of expensive hardware.”

Key features of NRGence include:

    ”Lock n Plug” design – Lock server plugs onto eco PDUs to secure power connection; prevents power plug from dropping off and enhances the security of usage.
    Analysis – Trend power capacity and temperature peaks in order to reduce power consumption by 30 percent.
    Trend charts – Display in real-time or according to day, month, season or year, improving the allocation of power resources.
    Environment management – Real-time and continuous Rack Cooling Index (RCI) and Return Temperature Index (RTI) data.
    User friendly interface – With the GUI of eco Sensors management software, IT administrators can easily configure the air conditioner status and prevent overheating and overcooling.

The following are the CL3000N’s key features and specifications:

    Integrated LCD console featuring a 19” monitor in a Slideaway™ housing
    Green power – LED-backlit LCD monitor saves energy
    Lightweight design for easier installation
    Dual Interface – supports computers with PS/2 or USB keyboards and mice
    Extra console port – manage computers from an external console (monitor, USB or PS/2 keyboard and mouse)
    Lightweight design: 8.41 kg/18.54 lbs
    Low power consumption: 120V, 21.4W / 230V, 22.7W

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) May 13, 2012

Golden Gate ASHI Inspectors say a recent change in the California building code may make homes larger, at least on paper. The minimum ceiling height for living rooms, bedrooms, and other living space has been 7 feet 6 inches for many years, but the California code changes effective January 1, 2012, allow for residential ceilings to be as low as 7 feet, although some Bay Area jurisdictions, including San Francisco and Oakland, have amended the new code to keep the old ceiling height standard.

Existing Rooms. If an existing room has a ceiling lower than 7 feet 6 inches but higher than 7 feet, it may now be possible to consider it living space. The “added” space resulting from this code change could increase home value when selling or refinancing. In order to qualify, the room must have adequate windows for light and ventilation. Additional requirements for heating, structural components, and other systems may also apply.

Is It a Bedroom? The “added” space might count as a bedroom, if it has at least 70 square feet and no dimension less than 7 feet. It must also have a smoke alarm and an exterior door or an ‘escape and rescue’ window large enough to meet current standards. Building code does not require a closet, but some Realtors® and appraisers consider a closet part of the definition of bedroom.

Converting Unfinished Spaces. Previously, converting space with a low ceiling was often impractical due to the high cost of structural changes to increase ceiling height. The change in building code may eliminate this hurdle. In all other respects, requirements for “added” space are the same as for any addition or alteration, requiring a set of plans prepared by a qualified architect showing how the new space complies with current requirements for light, ventilation, heating, fire protection, insulation, and California’s Title 24 energy standards.

About Attics and Basements. Developing attics and basements presents challenges beyond headroom, including insulation and structural adequacy. A converted attic may constitute an added story that requires a foundation upgrade or may trigger other local requirements. In basements, adequate drainage is a concern as a certain amount of moisture may be acceptable in an unfinished basement, but is unacceptable in living space.

Coordinating Improvements. When planning any significant alteration, consider additional upgrades that can be highly cost effective when coordinated with other work. Improvements to consider include seismic upgrading and updating electrical, water, and sewer services.

Get professional advice. All additions and alterations are subject to approval by the local building department. A qualified independent home inspector can evaluate a property to determine feasibility of adding living space before design work begins. Some inspectors also review contracts, perform progress inspections, and help assure quality and safety on the job site. The Golden Gate Chapter of the American Society of Home Inspectors (http://www.ggashi.com) is the best resource for finding a qualified home inspector. To find an inspector outside the Bay Area, visit http://www.ashi.org.
