There's a company by the same name in Bothell, WA. That's why I was curious. Have you signed up for Ken's webinair? If not I recommend you do. If too late make sure you get to RHode Is;land and the AFSA convention in October and sit in on any hanging/bracing/seismic courses offered there. This cam be confusing stuff but there's some simple definitions and ways to think about the differences that make it a bit less confusing. I do feel the pain of you guys on the other side of the Mississippi that haven't had to deal with this stuff in this way before. You might also want to look at an introductory architectural or structural engineering text where they talk about the basics of the physical forces that apply to buildings. Once you get a good feel for tension, compression, shear, rotation, etc. the why of this stuff starts making better sense.
