Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

Miami, FL (PRWEB) January 09, 2014

In Pinecrest, Fla., outdoor lifestyle needs influenced homeowners who wanted to create more living space in 2013, said Chris Noe, president of Venetian Builders, Inc., Miami.

Venetian designs and installs quality screen patio covers, patio roofs, pergolas and swimming pool enclosures for homeowners seeking to enhance their outdoor living options, Noe said. It also installs retractable canvas awnings for shade on demand and lattice for patio, deck and poolside privacy. Venetian custom designs and installs aluminum sunroom additions, as well.

Our final sales figures for 2013 arent fully tallied, but patio roofs and patio screens were the clear leaders for us in Pinecrest, Noe said.

Noe attributes a growing popularity in patio covers to the convenience and versatility they add to outdoor areas at a relatively modest price. "With money still a bit tight in this economy, that makes sense for many homeowners," Noe said.

Patio enhancements adapt to many uses, Noe said. With custom design capabilities, we can make any patio roof or screen enclosure fit not only homeowners needs, but also their budget, neighborhood and home styles, Noe said. We custom design every project, no matter how big or small it is. And we typically build to exceed the strict Florida Building Code.

Outdoor living and the climate draw people to Florida, Noe said. Enhancements make patios virtually four-season spaces, he added. Wood or insulated roofs keep the sun and the hottest temperatures at bay and the rain off your heads, and screens make a patio much more livable by keeping out insects, birds, crawling pests and even golf balls, he said.

They also make outdoor cooking and dining more comfortable, Noe added.

Venetian serves not only Pinecrest, but all of South Florida, including West Palm Beach, Davie, Cooper City, Fort Lauderdale, Pembroke, Homestead and the Keys.

Venetian offers free estimates that are detailed and in writing for patio screens, sunrooms, screen pool enclosures and its other products. Free at-home consultations include the time-saving convenience of curbside access to the Venetian mobile showroom.

Only the Defense Department, which has awarded nine contracts totaling $1,231,606, has spent more...

State Department spending of $630,000 to generate more Facebook likes drew national criticism when it was revealed last year.

Recently released government contract solicitation data reveals more about the department's social media strategy, but still falls short of painting a complete picture of its spending.

Instead, the solicitations highlight the lack of transparency in the department's contracting data.

The solicitations, which were originally posted on the federal contracting database FedBizOpps.gov, show the department's efforts to use social media to promote its image overseas and track international conversations on Facebook, Twitter and other platforms.

Most of the solicitations are for Facebook advertisements, promotional materials and marketing for U.S. embassy pages. But because of major gaps in the available data, there's not much more information.

The solicitations were obtained by the Sunlight Foundation through a Freedom of Information Act request as part of a database of 13 years of federal contract information.

For instance, a search of the the data provided to Sunlight doesn't show the awards associated with the solicitations.

Unless the award for a particular solicitation can be tracked down elsewhere, information on the price tag and the contractor given the job aren't readily available.

Contract information on USASpending.gov, another federal spending database, illustrates why the lack of information can be problematic.

SALISBURY TWP., Pa. -

State police have identified the truckers involved in Wednesday's fiery crash involving two 18-wheelers.

The accident happened around 11 a.m. in the eastbound lanes of Interstate 78 in Salisbury Township, just west of the Summit Lawn interchange.

A tractor trailer driven by Luis Nunez, 42, of Union City, N.J., was slowly climbing the hill on I-78 at around 10 mph when it was rear-ended by a second tractor trailer, driven by Albert W. Couch, 45, of Antioch, Tenn., police said.

A third truck was traveling behind the other two trucks, and the driver saw the collision. Troy Richards stopped to help pull Couch out of his cab, which caught fire a short time later.

Couch's cab also helped catch the rear trailer of Nunez's truck on fire.

Couch's passenger, Brandon Daniels, 27, of Hermitage, Tenn., and Nunez's passenger, Diogenes Valedez, 54, of Englewood, N.J., along with Couch and Nunez, were taken to Lehigh Valley Hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.

The highway was closed for more than two hours.

WEDNESDAY, Jan. 8, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- A new kind of implant may offer people suffering from sleep apnea an alternative to wearing an air mask while they snooze, researchers report.

With the implant, a pacemaker delivers electrical impulses to a nerve that controls the tongue and maintains the muscle tone of a sleeping person's upper airway, according to a study published in the Jan. 9 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.

These impulses reduced nightly sleep apnea events by about 68 percent, according to the results of the one-year clinical trial. The technology also decreased by 70 percent the number of times that a person's blood oxygen level dropped due to sleep apnea.

Not surprisingly, patients reported a 40 percent improvement in their ability to stay awake during the day, the researchers added.

Sleep apnea is a disorder in which a person's breathing pauses or grows shallow while they are asleep. The most common type is obstructive sleep apnea, in which the person's airway collapses or becomes blocked during sleep, according to the U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.

Left untreated, the condition disrupts sleep and causes a person to feel drowsy during the day. Long-term health consequences can include heart disease, insulin resistance and high cholesterol, said study author Dr. Patrick Strollo.

Doctors most often treat obstructive sleep apnea by asking patients to use a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine while they sleep, said Strollo, co-director of the Sleep Medicine Institute at the University of Pittsburgh and director of the university's Sleep Medicine Center.

With CPAP, patients wear a nose and mouth mask attached to an motor, and the mild air pressure maintained by the pump keeps their airway from collapsing -- much in the way that an air pump keeps an inflatable holiday lawn decoration from flopping over.

Longtime Kula resident Warren McCord, 79, wears many hats. He and his family have owned and run the Kula Botanical Garden since 1968. McCord, a retired Air Force officer and landscape architect, has participated in environmental activities here for decades and is president emeritus of Maui Outdoor Circle. But since 2001, the project closest to his heart has been the establishment of a Baldwin Avenue bike path.

A less persistent person might have given up long ago.

McCord said he first became interested in the project beginning in 2001, when a bike path from Pa'ia to Makawao was prepared for the county by a Honolulu engineering firm.

Longtime Kula resident Warren McCord, president emeritus of Maui Outdoor Circle, has been an advocate for the Baldwin Avenue bike path since it was first proposed in 2001. Thirteen years later, he believes the project has a broad base of support, and would like to know what is causing the delay.

He said that plan was presented to public in July of same year and reviewed by a group of interested citizen and members of the Outdoor Circle.

"The plan," he said, "proposed widening Baldwin Avenue six feet on the north side and five feet on south side. This design eliminated all the landscaping for houses on the north side and removed every shower tree on south side."

"Needless to say, this design was unacceptable," he recalled. "What came next was a proposal by the Outdoor Circle to modify the original plan. In this version, it would run from the Makawao Cemetery to the Pa'ia Gym totally off the roadway and just below the shower trees. It called for a two-way, ten-foot-wide bicycle and recreation path and would not need to remove any trees or landscape features."

The modified plan was accepted by the county soon after.

"In order to project the shower trees planted by Ethel Baldwin around 1900 and later planting by Mayor Hannibal Tavares," McCord said, "an ordinance was drafted and passed by the council, placing all the shower trees on the exceptional tree list, which gave them legal protection."

McCord said "a second plan was prepared by the same engineering firm and presented in August 2003. This plan was based on the concept of the ten-foot-wide, two-way path below the shower trees. However, it had some grading issues, and both the county and the Outdoor Circle agreed that further thought would need to be given to the area near Rainbow Park. In order to improve the design, the Maui Outdoor Circle proposed a community design review."
