Leading hardware distributor Carl F Groupco has entered a major distribution agreement with leading multipoint lock manufacturer Fullex Locks ltd. The Peterborough based distributor, which offers a one stop shop for high quality hardware solutions, chose Fullex as their partner to develop a new range of Split spindle multipoint locks knowing that the company’s products have a solid reputation for security and reliability. Carl F Groupco have commissioned a bespoke 92mm centre split spindle centre lock design for their team, which is fully PAS23/24 capable. John Crittenden, Managing Director of Carl F Groupco commented “we are delighted to be working with Fullex, the new 92mm split spindle lock they are producing for us, is an adaptation of the highly successful SL16 Multibolt which Fullex began producing 15 years ago. this product was one of the first multipoint locks used in the UK PVCu market and this new adaptation will be familiar to many fabricators who happily used Fullex for many years. their products are innovative and we are confident that their locks will offer the highest levels of security to our customers.” Mike Hill of Fullex comments in response: “I was delighted when Carl F Groupco chose Fullex for this bespoke project and I’m sure the agreement will bring success to both organisations”.

So I went to Homedepot to duplicate my mail key because I accidently lost my ex. one. but they couldn't duplicate it, which was sad. The duplicate was too long and they told me to go to a locksmith but they were no help either and told me to go to Homedepot. does anyone know any place where I can get a good duplication in National City/Chula Vista area please!

“Yes We Camp,” “Toma la Plaza!,” and “I can haz democracy … for realz now?” signs blanketed Madrid’s enormous Puerta del Sol plaza, as what started as a demonstration by a politically disenchanted few (“los indignados”) on the Sunday before the may 22 regional and municipal elections has grown into a full-fledged, round-the-clock, generalized protest movement, attracting tens of thousands here and in other Spanish city centers.

A calico patchwork of Quechua brand tents and sun-diffusing tarps fans out from the vibrant and loud main speaker/assembly arena, as dozens of perfectly scruffy, mostly half-naked (and from what we saw over two days, mostly white but pretty well-mixed age-wise and gender-wise) people beat the current heatwave while making Sol home. At night, the plaza roils with sympathizers — but a conscious effort to tone down the hard-party aspect without diminishing the festival atmosphere seems to be surprisingly successful.

The takeover also transcends the superficial: protestors here in Sol have in effect set up a functional utopian “leaderless” community, with separate committees of volunteers directing communications, sanitation, nourishment (vegetarian options available), feminist representation (“No Photos!” read the banner at the committee’s HQ), language usage, diversity and inclusivity, community outreach, and camp security (the role of which has been broadened under its new name as the “Respect Committee,” Comisión de Respeto).

The only official government reaction to the ongoing demonstrations has been to allow them to continue as long as they stay non-violent. And the current mainstream media narrative is a breathless comparison to the uprisings of the Arab Spring. (More on that below.) on Tuesday, the 24th, we made our way through the movimiento del Sol, dubbed the may 15th Movement, or 15-M (spanishrevolution.net), to get some idea of what the current protests — or, in the more poetic Spanish term, “manifestationes” — were all about.

Did you know that it’s National Spring Cleaning Week? For the last eight years, SpringCleaningWeek.com has designated the last week of March as the perfect time to clear out old clutter to create a healthier, more comfortable home. but don’t stop at sweeping, mopping, and vacuuming away the winter’s accumulated dust and dirt-take this opportunity to clean out your medicine cabinets and any other areas you use for storing prescription medications.

The Dangers of Prescription Drug Abuse

With prescription drug abuse on the rise among children and teens, it’s important that unused or expired medications are properly disposed of. Many teens admit that they take prescription medications from their parents’ (or their friends’ parents’) medicine cabinets, so it’s up to you to keep these dangerous items out of the wrong hands. Many people are under the misconception that prescription drugs are safe to take because they are legal, but if misused or abused, they can be just as dangerous as illicit drugs like cocaine and heroin.

Prescription drug abuse can lead to tolerance and dependence, accidents and injuries due to impaired judgment and coordination, serious health problems, psychological problems, legal problems, and even death from accidents, overdose, or fatal drug interactions.

In addition, many people start abusing prescription medications and then move to illicit drugs; for example, people who become dependent on the narcotic painkiller OxyContin often end up turning to heroin because it elicits very similar effects but can be much cheaper and easier to obtain.

How to Dispose of Medication Properly

When going through your medicine cabinet, check all of your prescription medication bottles and dispose of any unused or expired medications (including over-the-counter medications) by following these steps. DO NOT toss pill bottles into the garbage or flush the pills down the toilet.

1. Read the label and/or insert to see if there are specific instructions for disposing of the medication.
2. See if there is a "take-back" program in your community for unused prescription drugs.
3. Remove the prescription label or scratch out your personal information to protect your privacy.
4. If you plan to put prescription medication in the garbage, mix pills and liquids with something that has a strong and unappealing smell or taste, such as cat litter, coffee grounds, or cayenne pepper. You can add water to pill bottles so they’ll dissolve. Then put the mixture in a non-see-through container with a tight lid, and tape it shut with heavy-duty tape. Place this container in the trash and cover it with other garbage so it isn’t easily accessible.

Clearing out your medicine cabinet could help save lives and prevent prescription drug abuse and addiction, and it’s a great way to make your home even safer and healthier during National Spring Cleaning Week.
