In keeping with the yearly tradition of the Constructonomics blog I’d like to propose a theme song for 2012… So if the theme song for 2011 was, “Stayin’ Alive”, I couldn’t help but try to peg 2012 with something like, “Livin’ On A Prayer” However, I won’t. Not because we’re less than halfway there, but because this would be far too pessimistic.

Maybe it's minor or strange, and to some irksome or even dangerous, but I'm very used to and happy to use it. So far the comments on their post seem to be running in favor of removing or "blunting" it somehow.

I frequently read about or hear questions about this concept that generally assume or expect that there is some inherent (permanent or connected) relationship between a shared parameter file and the use of such a parameter in a project or family. The shared parameter file has no active relationship (no link, no "xref", no lookup) with your families or projects so there is no risk of someone running off with it, or it getting deleted.

Introduction During the pre-development process of an ambulatory surgery center design, common mistakes are often made that may negatively affect the purpose and viability of the center. Once the center is in operation, it can be nearly impossible to reverse the effects of these errors – and as a result, the entire lifespan of the design will be negatively impacted.
