Extreme Makeover: Home Edition Uses Faux Ceiling Beams from FauxWoodBeams.com for Home Renovation
Deer Park, NY (PRWEB) November 14, 2011
FauxWoodBeams.com, the largest online retailer of faux wood ceilings and beams, donated ceiling beams for the November 18, 2011, episode of ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.” For their 12th collaboration with the very popular home remodeling show, Barron Designs, owner of Faux Wood Beams, provided the faux wood beams that evoked an antique farmhouse look.
“It’s impossible to hear the stories behind these projects and not want to do something to help,” said Steve Barron, president of Barron Designs.
Dale Dunning started “Jusst Sooup” while in college. Now she gets up every day at 2 a.m., with her husband Ken and son Brooks, to cook for four Delaware soup kitchens, providing comfort to those in need.
When “EMHE” found out that the Dunnings were accomplishing all of this while living in what is essentially a converted “Jusst Sooup” storage facility, Ty Pennington and his team knew they had to help.
The Dunning family dream is to not just have a home for themselves, but a facility where they can cook on a large scale so they can feed more Delaware families. They also hoped for a space large enough to put micro-homes on the property to help people get on their feet and have a garden that can grow supplies for the soup kitchen.
The designers at “EMHE” decided that an old-fashioned farmhouse look would be perfect for the main building. Knowing the quality and realistic texture they get from Faux Wood Beams, the producers turned to Barron Designs yet again to create a king truss to unify the great room in the main house, creating an open, airy, yet cozy feeling for the Dunning’s new home.
“An old-fashioned ceiling was the perfect way to create a classic farmhouse,” said Steve Barron.
While most designers use faux wood beams as they are – the polyurethane beams are made from molds of genuine timber – “EMHE’s” designers wanted to create the look and feel of old farmhouse beams to match the Dunning’s dream of having a farm on the property to grow soup ingredients. Knots were painted to appear more pronounced and the beams were given the grayish patina of aged wood. Because the Dunnings spend so much of their time helping others, the low maintenance faux beams were a perfect choice.
“The faux finishers did an outstanding job,” said Steve Barron. “The trim carpenters from BZ Construction Services were fantastic. The people you meet on these builds are amazing. You don’t hear enough about that. The volunteers are incredible.”
“’Extreme Makeover’ could do another entire show on the volunteers and everything that happens behind the scenes,” said Barron. “It’s a real community that accomplishes so much in so little time.”
This build was even more challenging than most because it was interrupted by Hurricane Irene. For the first time ever, an “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” project had to pause to evacuate for safety and then resume.
The Dunning family/”Jusst Sooup” project is one of many collaborations between Barron Designs and “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” and it’s far from the last.
“Why do we do this — it feels good to give back. We’re a family business so doing something special for a family like the Dunnings – I can’t begin to describe how good it feels,” said Steve Barron.
“Extreme Makeover: Home Edition – the Dunning Family project” will air 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT Friday, November 18, 2011, on ABC. Check your local listings for time and channel in your area.

Job Squad – Delaware’s Employment Office – Weekly Message
Governor Markell focuses on the “Job Squad,” which connects businesses to job seekers, as professionals from Delaware’s Department of Labor offer help to those looking for jobs. The Governor says to get people back to work, we need to be one of the best employment offices for talented people across the state. The Job Squad is a good example of how an “Unemployment Office” can function with a team of people hard at work to identify a company’s needs and help them fill them with Delawareans who are immediately available. Delaware is encouraging businesses across the state to turn to the Job Squad and the Department of Labor’s Business Services Unit for help finding their future workers.

Police Chief Opens Innovative Internet Service to Help Police Candidates Pass the Police Oral Board and Successfully Navigate the Hiring Process.
Police Chief Opens Innovative Internet Service to Help Police Candidates Pass the Police Oral Board and Successfully Navigate the Hiring Process.
Wisconsin, USA (PRWEB) November 13, 2011
FourPlex International, Inc., a Delaware based corporation officially announced the launch of http://www.EarnYourBadge.com, an internet service provided to assist police candidates in navigating the complicated and very competitive world of the law enforcement hiring process.
“We began test marketing EarnYourBadge.com (EYB) late summer of this year,” said Ryan McMillan, VP of Sales and Marketing. “The response has been tremendous and the client feedback is absolutely flattering. Our Customers can’t get enough of Chief Russ, the face, the knowledge and really, the nuts and bolts of this unique service.”
How it works: Visitors to EarnYourBadge.com learn a bit about the hiring process and see Chief Russ give a full analysis of the “Seven Deadly Sins” of the police oral board process. The Chief’s greeting and breakdown of the Seven Deadly Sins is available to everyone free of charge. Visitors serious about landing a job in law enforcement (LE) become a member of EYB which figuratively speaking, opens a back door to an area of the site called the Member’s Room.
There seems to be no shortage of information in the Member’s Only Room of EYB. According to Production Director, Tom Thomas, “There is nothing anywhere that even mirrors the Member’s Room of EYB. Chief Russ has been hands on from day one and appears in numerous videos posing as an oral board candidate. He answers dozens of scenario questions and even explains his answers and the psychology behind them.” EYB offers downloadable audios of the Chief explaining preparation for, and the candidate’s closing process of the interview. The service supplies transcripts of audios, a fill in the blank letter to send the department after the candidate has interviewed and offers a review and critique of resumes and application packets for all Members of EYB. “Chief Russ even gives members his email address and communicates with them directly. He loves helping the candidates” said Mr. Thomas.
Development: The Chief is a 25 year LE veteran and currently employed as a Police Chief in the Midwestern U.S. “I met the Chief at a wedding quite by chance” Mr. McMillan reports. “In a discussion he mentioned his desire to help LE candidates in a fiercely competitive job market. He truly wanted to give candidates an edge. In five minutes of talking with the Chief I knew I’d met a sincere and knowledgeable man. He puts 25 years of personal experience with the hiring process directly into the hands of candidates like nobody ever has. He’s so relaxed and so genuine, this man is the real deal.”
Member Services: “It’s like having a Police Chief in your own living room,” said Mr. Thomas. “Chief Russ is so down to Earth and took control of every ounce of content EYB delivers. No writers, no fancy production sets, he even insisted we produce videos in his home office. We’re all very proud of Earn Your Badge and it’s only the beginning. We continue to add products and services and just opened a new area of the Member’s Room. Clients can now order their own “personal interview” with the Chief. He and the member connect live on the Internet and the candidate interviews with the Chief for 40 minutes. The interview is recorded, reviewed, meticulously dissected, analyzed and graded personally by Chief Russ.”
In a search of what’s available on the internet it became obvious that there are no other services that resemble http://www.EarnYourBadge.com. The member’s room is filled with information that would take months to collect from multiple sources, if it were even possible to do that. It’s quite remarkable.
“In the short time EYB has been available we’re seeing a metamorphous here, said Mr. McMillan. According to Mr. Thomas, “There will come a time when interviewing as Chief Russ trains will the only way to interview at the oral board.”
Earn Your Badge will soon to add a “Pass Your Polygraph” service as another option to the growing list of a la carte products available to interested member clients. This unique service is positioned to grow exponentially in the coming months.
In a brief interview with Chief Russ he noted that he will limit the number of incoming clients as the list grows. “I’m only one person” he said, “I’m just one chief and I won’t allow the member’s room to grow to the point that I can’t maintain individual communication with all of the members of Earn Your Badge. There’s too much bad information on the internet and it’s beginning to hinder applicants from properly presenting themselves as viable candidates. This project has been so worthwhile and to know that I’m helping candidates get hired is all the reward I need.”
