…as GPA responds to Jagdeo/Teixeira tiradeThe Guyana Press Association (GPA) has responded to the last Sunday’s tirade by Head of State Bharrat Jagdeo and his Presidential Advisor,Cheap NFL Jerseys, Gail Teixeira,China Jerseys Cheap, calling it an attempt to silence and bring harm to the local media.The Press Association was pointing to the salvo which came at the PPP rally on Sunday in Georgetown with the President highlighting reporters and the media platform at the event and describing media operatives as “Vultures and Carrion Crows” who should all be “thrown into jail” for going after him and his government.The GPA said that President Jagdeo’s assertion that local media should be placed before an international court and jailed was wholly uncalled for,NFL Jerseys China, damaging and repugnant.Jagdeo’s sentiments were supported also by his Political Advisor Teixiera who called on supporters to guard themselves against the media.“The Guyana Press Association would eschew reference to what vultures and carrion crows prey on; we hold ourselves to a higher standard as watchdogs of the public’s interest.”According to the GPA,Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys, Teixeira’s provocative attempt to compare Rwanda’s media and its role in that country’s genocide to the Guyana media is also highly inflammatory and is condemned as an effort to both silence and bring harm to the local media.“The GPA rejects out of hand any labels that anyone either in high or other office seeks to foist upon the local press…We will continue to be vigilant and focused in this particular period where a higher standard is required…Therefore,Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic, we wish that a higher standard also be held by the politicians.”The Press Association charged that it and the wider media fraternity shall hold all of “these politicians on all sides of the political aisle responsible for the safety of media workers since it is obvious that media workers are now being targeted in this politically charged environment…”The Guyana Press Association intends to inform and continue to update its colleagues across the Caribbean and the International Press Groups about these developments.

This week has been an eventful one in many ways as far as housing is concerned.On Friday,China Jerseys Cheap, last, the government launched its second ‘International Building Expo’ at the National Stadium. If we are to judge from last year’s success what this year should be like, then it will be the show of the year at the end of July.In case you are about to build your new home and missed last year’s, it was an event ideally suited for folks who are as clueless as I once was. From banks offering advice on requirements for loans to cement companies showing the right mixture to furniture and hardware stores, it was clear from the 30,000-odd persons who visited that the occasion was long overdue. The products are dazzling and the private sector has now challenged construction companies to come up with new ways to building cheap, quality homes – a development that will be welcomed by many.The right doorsThe past week also saw us answering numerous queries. We will examine two of them.In the first instance, one lady asked what kinds of doors would be ideal for the different areas, including front and back doors and the bedrooms.Now,Wholesale Jerseys USA, I think that these are a matter of personal choice. There are a number of doors ranging from metal to pine wood to the local hardwood. I would not recommend the pine doors for the areas that would be exposed to the elements. Many home owners are now choosing the metal doors because of security reasons…they have a number of locks fitted that are virtually unbreakable. However, the problem is that once the locks become too tight (this is due mainly to incorrect installation), the doors could be a problem as they do not shut properly.Any decent hardware stores would sell wooden doors. The hardwood ones are good if they are treated correctly and finished with the sanding sealer and a few coats of lacquer to protect from moisture. The options of using local doors are better, for me, because it can allow a home owner to order any styles from arch to French-style to whatever one desires. The problem with these is that some door makers do not allow the wood to dry properly, and after a few mornings the doors are all hanging wrong. The pine doors are good for the bedrooms and bathroom because they cost as little as $15,000 each.The point is…it is a matter of choice, but it should be stressed that generally, doors should not be exposed to rain and sun.Does the bank pay for the land?Another writer asked whether banks would pay off for land allocated by government. I recalled seeing advertisements that stated so. The folks at New Building Society (NBS) had indicated that they were willing to assist. However,Cheap NFL Jerseys, it must also be noted that no bank or the NBS,Wholesale Jerseys China, traditionally, are willing to dole out 100% of the mortgage asked for without some show of commitment by the landowner. Nevertheless, it is an issue that can be researched.This week, based on requests, we are continuing to highlight some of the more popular materials in use and their problems. For Gafoor’s at Houston,Authentic Jerseys Wholesale, a popular hardware supplier, two of its biggest sellers are tiles and the PVC ceiling.TilesAccording to Colin Sookdeo, a supervisor in the tiles section, there have been a number of recurring complaints.“From what we have seen, the biggest problems are that people are not supervising their contractors enough. It is either the contractors are not using the right tools or the right paste.”In the first instance, as we have stressed time and again, homeowners who are about to build should have been shopping around.There are different types of tiles. The rougher “non-skid” ones are recommended for the bathrooms and yard. The shinier, smoother ones are for the kitchen, living or sitting rooms.“We import our tiles from Brazil and these are of the best quality. When someone comes to us, they have a rough idea of the space to be tiled…we can calculate how many they will need.”To save cost, as some contractors charge by the number of tiles to be laid,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, Gafoor’s is recommending that for larger areas, large tiles should be used.While from time to time there would be manufacturers’ faults on some tiles, in the majority of cases, the problem happens when the contractor’s tools are not working properly and can easily damage the tile while it is being cut.Then there are issues of the wrong paste being used for tiles.According to Sookdeo, there is wall paste and floor paste.“Additionally, if the floors and walls are not level, the finished look would not be so good.”While building my home, I was in a hurr
