Lux Research predicts 3D printing will be an $8.4 billion industry by 2025, up from under $1billion in 2012. Research firm Gartner believes that enterprise-class printers priced below $2,000 will be available in the market from as early as 2016, and some low-end printers, including the MakiBox, are already available for less than $200.
3DLT provides files - the blueprints for 3D printable products. Consumers can visit 3DLT.com and browse through multiple, well-curated categories of 3D printable designs. Once purchased, they can download and print-ready files on their own 3D printer. They can also send the designs they buy to 3DLT’s network of 3D print shops for local pickup or drop shipment directly to their door.
3DLT’s business model has the potential to change the way we shop,” Mr. Arellano says. Walmart made shopping easier by putting millions of products, all under one roof, closer to the consumer. Amazon took the next step of delivering to your doorstep. 3DLT goes even further by allowing you to choose, when, where, and how the items you buy are manufactured.”

There are thousands of entrepreneurs who claim to be certified and experienced, but can't figure out how budget a project or provide owners, workmanship and quality materials. Jay Cipriani, owner of Cipriani remodeling Solutions, advises owners to be aware of something that may seem to be a good thing. "Most of these people have no idea how to run a retouching of the undertaking or to leave the homeowner with a good experience," said Jay Cipriani. Cipriani is one of the largest companies of renovation House of southern New Jersey.
"They (contractors) do not know the things that must legally be in a home improvement contract to protect the owner of a House." This means that if there is a problem during or after work, homeowners are left with few resources, "added Cipriani.
According to Cipriani, homeowners should do plenty of research before hiring someone for a remodeling project and should not just choose a name in the telephone directory. It offers the following questions that a homeowner should ask when deciding on a contractor:
The contractor has a permanent settlement and a good reputation among local banks, suppliers and officials of the building? Request the contractor to provide the names and contact information for these people and then do a reference check.
Belongs to the contractor in good standing of a professional association?
How long has it been in business? The contractor a licence or registration, if necessary in your area?
Check references. It is important that you speak with people who have hired the renovator to do work similar to yours and ask if they would hire the contractor again.
Have you seen the work of the contractor completed and underway? Check the quality of manufacture and materials.
Did you call the local Better Business Bureau or Consumer Affairs Office? They can alert you to all complaints pending.
Was the contractor evidence of accidents and general liability insurance? If not, you can be held responsible for any construction accident on your premises or damage to your property.
Reader Award selection. If you like a contractor and are uncomfortable with his work, but he arrived with an offer that exceeds your price, ask what can be reduced to meet your budget.
Are you able to communicate easily with the contractor? Misunderstandings during a project may lead to delays and cost overruns.
Do you feel comfortable with the contractor? Remember, you will be in close contact with him and share your home with his crew, until the project is completed.
The contractor will provide a complete contract and well written as required by law?
Ask what type of warranty is offered. Most remodelers offer some sort of guarantee in writing.

The opening night, of the exhibition is taking place on the 5th of April at the Haggerston Espresso Room, in Haggerston, East London. The venue is an intimate coffee shop/gallery space which is a little unconventional compared to your regular London galleries and Mr Four Fingers is hoping that this will make their work more accessible to the public. These are guys who like to go against the grain and their first attempt at curating their collection of work sounds inviting with the inclusion of DJ’s, cakes, free alcohol and even shots of Tequila plus the first 10 people to spend £30 or more receive a free gift bag.
Mr Four Fingers commented on the up-and-coming event: “We’re excited to be showing our collection of art, illustration and t-shirt design to the world in our first solo show. Our ideas and illustration, which have been spawned from the darker realms of our human psyche, convey images with dark undertones, visions of mortality and representations of who we are underneath. Plus we just like making cool shit.”
Original work and Limited edition prints from Mr Four Fingers have already been featured at the Curious Duke and Brick Lane Galleries this past year and a solo show is the obvious ’ next step’ for a determined pair who are producing new work at a rapid rate. The show also sees collaborations with Elizabeth Dunn, an up-and-coming fashion label and In Her Glory, creator of crude knitted cushions and dark crafts.
Mr Four Fingers added: “We never imagined we would be doing anything like this. We started Mr Four Fingers as a playground for our ideas and now like some weird science experiment the beast has learned to walk.” Go and share a beer with them on their opening night and view their story which has been told through a mix of inks, illustrations and skulls.

The concept of barn quilts began with Donna Sue Groves and its desire to honour his mother, Maxine and his inheritance of the Appalachians by the presence of a painted quilt hung on his barn in Adams County, Ohio. As friends has promoted the project, Donna Sue suggested instead that a "sampler" of quilt twenty seats could be created on a trail of conduct which will invite visitors to travel through the countryside. The first quilt square was a Star of Ohio, painted by local artists installed in 2001 on a building in a greenhouse in Manchester, Ohio. With the encouragement of Donna Sue Groves, other quilt trails began in Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky and Iowa. This simple idea gradually extended to 44 States and Canada, and the trail continues to grow. More than 4,000 quilts are part of organized trails; the tens, more are scattered through the countryside waiting to be discovered. Find more information www.barnquiltinfo.com

Between WWI and WWII, the fashion houses of Chanel, Dior and Schiaparelli dominated the world of fashion design, but it was Elsa Schiaparelli who was the most innovative and experimental. She dazzled the fashion world with costume jewelry designs of large scale and materials made expressly for her collections by companies such as Daniel Swarovski.
“Schiaparelli believed jewelry was of critical importance to fashion,” explains historian and designer Shelley Cooper. “She would readily pair an 18th century look like this necklace with modern 1920s fashion.”
The Floral a Filigree Collar from Sweet Romance features layers of teardrop and round filigree beads alternating between molded coraline coral accent stations attached to a heavy cable chain. These necklaces were meant to be dramatic and showy, and this same retro style lives on in the designs of Shelley Cooper.
Sweet Romance Jewelry Manufacturing is an American design house and manufacturer producing the jewelry lines of Sweet Romance and Ollipop. CEO Shelley Copper is an artist, designer and historian who weaves history, beauty and imagination into jewelry designs which radiate the authenticity and spirit of many eras of fashion history. Her lines are sold to retailers and wholesalers worldwide as well as through the online jewelry boutique at sweetromanceonline.com and shelleycooper.com.

When software development teams move to agile methods, experienced project managers often struggle—doubtful about the new approach and uncertain about their new roles and responsibilities. In this book, two long-time certified Project Management Professionals (PMPRs) and Scrum trainers have built a bridge to this dynamic new paradigm. They show experienced project managers how to successfully transition to agile by refocusing on facilitation and collaboration, not “command and control.”
The authors begin by explaining how agile works: how it differs from traditional “plan-driven” methodologies, the benefits it promises, and the real-world results it delivers. Next, they systematically map the Project Management Institute’s classic, methodology-independent techniques and terminology to agile practices. They cover both process and project lifecycles and carefully address vital issues ranging from scope and time to cost management and stakeholder communication. Finally, drawing on their own extensive personal experience, they put a human face on your personal transition to agile--covering the emotional challenges, personal values, and key leadership traits you’ll need to succeed.

Here’s a deeper look at what you can do with Quicken WillMaker Plus:
Your Will
The heart of every estate plan is a will, also known as a last will and testament. This legal document puts you in control of who inherits your property and who would assume guardianship of your children if it were ever necessary. Without a will, state law will determine these issues. Your will allows you to name an executor (“personal representative”) whose job it is to see that your wishes are carried out. And you can appoint a trusted person to manage property left to young people. With Quicken WillMaker Plus, you can revise and update your will whenever you like.
Your Health Care Directive. Spares your loved ones difficult decisions by laying out your wishes for medical care and naming someone to carry those wishes:
Health Care Power of Attorney
Permit a loved one to make important medical decisions for you if necessary.
Living Will
Specify whether you want your life prolonged through artificial means in certain circumstances and set out your wishes about specific medical treatments and procedures.
Your Final Arrangements
Plan a funeral or other ceremony and ease the burden on your loved ones. Describe your preferences for burial, cremation, memorials, obituaries, and more, and select someone to oversee your final arrangements.
Documents for Your Executor
Make sure your executor has all the forms and instructions necessary to do the job: checklists, letters, notices, claim forms and more.
Information for Caregivers and Survivors
Organize your estate so that your survivors don't have to. Use these documents to give them information about everything from bank accounts to the names of people you'd like contacted in the event of your illness or death.
Personal Finance Documents
Over a dozen forms let you handle common financial situations, such as lending or borrowing money between friends or family, creating a bill of sales, and ending a credit card account.
Home & Family Documents
Practical forms you can use every day to help run your home and keep your family safe, including authorizations and agreements, promissory notes, limited powers of attorney, and child and elder care forms.
*Estate planning documents not valid in Louisiana or U.S. Territories.

Space winner Laura Stein gold interior is a beautiful master bedroom of Leaside designed for homeowners with an appreciation of the finer things.

With a mandate for the discreet luxury, Laura Stein Interiors has transformed the room an old-fashioned and cluttered in a flooded area of light with luxurious linens, a hint of glamour, a touch of masculinity and a place to expire at the end of the day.
To make the most of the L-shaped piece, a floor plan was designed to integrate lounge library-like with a TV on an articulated arm and lots of storage near the door. The bed was placed under the window to take advantage of the light of the morning sun. "The owners wanted a space cosy and romantic with a lot of womanly gentleness but enough masculinity to keep the feeling of space to the Earth," adds Stein. The carpet has been replaced with hard wood, panels and mouldings were added and luxurious fabrics in an airy palette and were set against pure furniture and deep, rich wood tones.
In the lounge, a feeling pleasant library was created around a sofa in linen, a large pouf tufte and a library built to display perfectly of the couple discovered travel, photos and collection of literature. The colorful books and art add an unexpected pop to the palette soft hot metal and wood. "Special attention was given custom retailer and luxurious finishes," said Stein.

"We also need to be aware of the latest products and technology that can help us create affordable, sustainable communities. "But, just as important, are the 'low tech' opportunities like using 2'x 6' studs at 24-inch centers and installing electrical outlets that stop 'vampire' charging," Gonzalez said.
"While developers are embracing the sustainable practices that LEED promotes, they seem to be less willing to pay the added cost of certification and commissioning. Just building to the current California Building Code nearly guarantees that a project can achieve LEED certification. However, the six-figure cost for LEED certification is one of the first line items to get scratched from any development budget. "Because of this, I think you will be seeing more and more 'LEED inspired' projects in the future," Gonzalez stated.
"As cities update their building codes, they will undoubtedly continue to add green building regulations, which will level the playing field for the construction industry as a whole since it will no longer be an elective cost to build green." But being able to build green in an affordable manner will put the savvy builders ahead of the pack,"said Gonzalez.
"One of my favorite examples is Garbett Homes and the KTGY - designed Solaris Collection at Daybreak, a single family community near Salt Lake City, where a billboard with a picture of one of the community's homeowners has a quote that reads, ' My power bill is $5." What's yours?' " González stated.
The Solaris Collection was named Residential Project of the Year in the detached product category and won a Gold Nugget Grand Award in 2012. Solaris offers high-density ENERGY STAR rated single-family homes for cost-conscious, eco-minded buyer, from the low $200, 000 s. Unique to this price-point, Garbett Homes includes solar panels, geothermal heating and cooling, and a super-tight energy-efficient building envelope with HERS ratings under 40 in a Climate Zone 5, which saves residents up to 70% on their monthly utility bills. The homes' eclectic, modern exteriors with fiber-cement siding are used in unique ways not seen before in this market and a vibrant color palette add to the overall unique appeal, according to Gonzalez.
Garbett Home's urban infill project, TerraSol in nearby South Salt Lake, broke ground in August 2011, and all 60 homes were sold by April 2012, without Garbett Homes building any spec homes, according to Gonzalez. The single-family homes designed by KTGY are ENERGY STAR rated and include as standard either photovoltaic solar and solar hot water or geothermal heating and cooling.
"While KTGY has been quite busy with many exciting new sustainable projects, the ABC Green Home is certainly one of the most important to the homebuilding industry," Gonzalez said. "Being able to demonstrate that architects can design a Net Zero Energy home that is affordable, buildable and certifiable has been a tremendous opportunity for KTGY."
According to Gonzalez, the project's designer, the ABC Green Home is a 1, 695-square-foot single-story affordable, entry-level, certified green home, the first of its kind to be built by Southern California Edison (SCE) or any utility company. Built in 70 days and sponsored by Green Home Builder magazine, the ABC Green Home is currently on display at the Great Park in Irvine, Calif., and is open to the public. The home will be on display for the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon 2013, October 3-13, at the Great Park. This is the first time this world-famous competition will be held outside of Washington DC, and the ABC Home will be a key display. Eventually, the home will be donated to Habitat for Humanity and given to a wounded service person.
Gonzalez added, "Another exciting project designed by KTGY is Primera Terra, a LEED Platinum luxury for-sale multifamily community in Playa Vista, Calif., developed by KB Home." "An innovative redesign/repositioning solution, Primera Terra achieved LEED Platinum certification without incorporating solar panels." Primera Terra won numerous top honors in 2012 including the NAHB Pillars of the Industry and BALA award programs and the EcoHome Design Grand Award. plus the USGBC LEED for Homes Award in the Multifamily category in 2011.
Other recently completed sustainable multifamily communities designed by KTGY include Dana Strand in Los Angeles, a LEED Gold 100 - unit senior apartment community, which was a public/private partnership between the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA) with ROEM Development Corporation and Dana Strand Senior, LLC. Dana Strand combined eco-friendly design with luxury, amenity-rich living at an affordable rental rate specifically targeting the needs of seniors 62 years and better. Dana Strand received has NAHB Best 50 + Gold Award in the Affordable Rental Community category in 2012.
Heritage Oaks Senior Apartments in Oakdale, Calif., is a LEED Platinum 50 - unit apartment community for low-income seniors age 55 and better, which was designed by KTGY and developed by Central Valley Coalition for Affordable Housing and Adroit Development, Inc. The community offers a variety of creative indoor and outdoor amenities including a "Garage" with wide workbenches for the men and a hobby and craft studio for the women. Residents can even try out their green thumb skills at the raised-bed gardening areas. Construction was completed in 10 months and ahead of schedule. and was 100% leased within 3 months of the completion date. Heritage Oaks earned several awards in 2012 including NAHB Best of 50 + Gold Award for the Best 50 + Outdoor Amenity and a special Innovation Award for the Outdoor Amenity for the community's "Garage."
Gonzalez will showcase thesis award-winning green projects at the 2013 NAA Green Conference on April 15-17, 2013, in Baltimore, MD. Gonzalez will be joined by panelists William J. Greene, III, of Wood Partners; David Woodward of CompassRock; and Matt Miller, industry principal for Yardi Energy Solutions ™, will serve as moderator on the panel "Green Building and Utility Management - Doing it Right Makes Sense." Hundreds of multifamily property managers, developers and suppliers will gather at the 2013 NAA Green Conference, which is sponsored by the National Apartment Association. Gonzalez is based in KTGY's Santa Monica office.
