Summer is the perfect time to embark on a home improvement project. Far be it from me to tell you which project is most important for your house, but here are a few ideas. All of the following are summer home improvement projects that I've taken on in the past, or ones that I'm planning for this year.
What's great about each of these projects is that they are great investments for your property value, and also make it better to live in the house right away.
Make the Garage a Functional Space
Oh, the garage. For some people, it's a wonderful space where they can do woodworking and painting projects, store all of their sporting equipment, and maybe even let their kids film an awesome summer movie project. And then there are those of us who are afraid to venture into the garage to dig up their Christmas decorations because of spiders and mice.
Your garage should be a functional space for your family. Don't surrender it to the unwelcome intruders of pests and clutter. Here are some tips:
- Clear it out effectively and keep storage to an organized minimum. Here are some ideas for a simple garage clear-out.
- If you want to turn your garage into a workshop or play space, insulate it to make it closer to your house's temperature instead of the temperature outside. Carpeting is also a great way to add insulation and make the space feel more homey.
- Build some DIY shelves and counters to get storage up and away from the floor, and create more useable space.
Stonework Landscaping
Redoing the entire landscape of your yard might feel like a project too big for you to handle alone. It's true that there's a big difference between a professional job and one that you do yourself. However, embarking on a landscaping project as a family can be a great experience! You'll get more time outside together, learn how to cooperate better, and wind up with a beautiful result that's all the more precious because you made it together.
If your thumb is anything but green, but you want to find a creative outlet in your yard, consider doing some stonework. You could build a rock garden in the Japanese style for meditation, set pavers as a pathway across your lawn, or create flower beds with some low-stacked walls. Many local garden stores will have pebbles, stones, and pavers available, and you can take all the time you want as you set up and execute the project. Here are some more ideas for rock landscaping.
Potted Border for Your Doorway
Do you ever feel like your doorway is a little bare? I do, but I usually just don't know what to do about the plain concrete steps leading up to my entrance. I don't like seasonal decorative clutter, but one decoration you can never go wrong with outdoors is greenery. This year, I'm adding some potted plants to my entryway in the hopes of making a more welcoming aesthetic. As I plan and research, here are some important tips to make the decoration effective and easy:
- Change the levels. The area will look fuller and more lush if you can stack the plants to catch the eye at different levels. Get tall planters, or tall plants (or both!). Look into some dwarf varieties of trees, like fir or fig trees. But don't neglect the areas below eye level, either. Plant perennial flowers into the pot at the base, or add more pots. In order to get extra height, you can also add shelves.
- Use a pot within a pot. You have the option of planting the plant directly into a decorative pot, but it can be a lot easier if you simply put the cheap plastic pot into the decorative one. This gives you the option of easily changing out your plants if you want to adjust the look according to the seasons. It can also make it easier to change potting soil and get better drainage. If you want to avoid the way that a pot-within-a-pot looks, you can add some mulch or moss to the top of the soil.
- Choose plants with consistent needs. This is especially important if you end up planting several species in one pot. Make sure you don't pair a shade-loving, water-guzzling tropical plant with a desert bloomer who loves broad sunlight and great drainage.
Energy-Efficient Window Tints
This was a great idea for the beginning of summer, because in the heat, you start to see energy savings right away. Installing window tints can be especially useful if you have one extremely sunny room where things heat up quickly, or a skylight. Depending on what kind of window film you want, it might be worth hiring a professional, but most jobs you can pretty easily manage yourself. Just make sure that you're equipped with an effective tape measure, an Exact-o knife, and perhaps, a second pair of hands.
The savings will vary based on your house and location. But for me, I save about $150 each summer with these, so the tints pay for themselves almost right away.
There are also decorative window films available that can help to insulate your house. I also appreciate window clings for the extra safety that they offer. They make it much harder to break the glass, so it can prevent intruders, or keep your children from running into a sliding glass door and cracking or shattering it.

Pampering day..
I was walking around after lunch and saw a pamplet for spa and massage.
It immediately caught my eyes.
I can't remember the last time I went for a spa day.
Ages ago.
My body is in pain.
My shoulders, scapulas hurt so much.
No amount of stretching is providing a relief for me.
I definitely need my pampering day.
The question is when?
I feel guilty enough leaving my baby to work so I can't leave her for my selfish day.
Anyway I still need to because my body and my health are as important as everythig else in my life.
Or else who will take care of my two precious persons.
Next week, I am going for a jog!!
Why is it that every week I make the same vow??
And never followed through??
But this time I am serious haa guys!

A disciplined problem solving approach helps you improve operational and financial performance by identifying root causes and implementing lasting solutions to costly or recurring problems. We have found in many organizations that problem solving is masked in forms, templates and systems that track activities related to quality problems but don't focus on the key task of determining the root cause of the problem. Without a known cause (or causes) there cannot be an effective corrective action (solution), and preventive actions are meaningless.
In addition to offering problem solving training workshops, The Luminous Group is well-versed in leading work teams through a variety of problem solving tools to address plant floor issues. We start with problem containment to protect downstream customers, and follow the process right through to embedding the fix within your culture. This ensures that corrective actions are held it in place and permanent corrective actions designed to control the root cause are shared with similar processes and systems within your organization.
More importantly, by participating in facilitated problem solving sessions, your team will hone their skills in problem solving techniques and gain a deeper understanding of how to apply these tools to future issues.
Some of our most popular problem solving tools include:
- Is / Is Not Analysis
- Fishbone Diagrams

Cart Goats!greenspun.com : LUSENET : Dairygoats : One Thread
I've been interested in training cart goats since I Joe took me to my first goat show. Putzed all over the internet and the cart goat sites for cart plans, how to train 'em etc. A little cart with a wether? A coach and four, six, eight! A big wheeled Budwiser wagon with sixteen?
Would love to hear from people who have cart goats and how you train them!
Dennis & Joe (more Dennis actually;-)
-- Dennis Enyart (email@example.com), April 21, 2002
well, gee, i really do need to say howdy to you guys more often , i too wanted a cart goat, so far we are still in "training" mode, i havent gotten any kind of professional type set up yet, just a harness i sewed up out of nylon webbing strapping (60 cents a yard) its just big enough to fit the one wethr, and right now he tromps around pulling one of those bike carts, you know the ones designed to go behind a bycycle , and hole 1-2 children..... hes still pretty preliminary, as soon as i walk away from his head he stops... but since hes only a year old, i expect it will be easier as time comes... i am planning, on (eventually), getting a goat or mini pony harness, and cart, most lilely at auction , since the net prices i have seen are a little too dear for me ....... :)
my girlfriend who was big into goats as a kid , said they had a four goat hitch , and all they had to do was train 2 goats, the front ones, the back ones just followed... :) makes sense the whole herd animal thing :)
-- Beth Van Stiphout , in ND (email@example.com), April 21, 2002.
We just wethered our lone buck kid because our boy child really wants to train a cart goat. That means that next year, husband ( who is already plenty busy doing MY bidding) will be helping son build a cart. But, like Beth, I'm not up for a few hundred bucks for harness and cart and and and. It'll be good for the guys to do it, something like the soapbox derby. Anyway, I have researched it, too, and just found many cut things that were too durn much money. Maybe next year we'll have another wether and can do a team in a couple more years...they can haul firewood! have a great day. Cara
-- Cara Dailey (email@example.com), April 21, 2002.
I have a wether that I coaxed my husband into keeping by saying that I wanted to train him to pull a cart
. Actually he was a bonus given to me so his twin sister would have a pal. He's the wether I've written about who is the ...ahem...herd "Queen"...
I really am more interested in making him a pack type goat as I love to go for walks (and he does too, mud-water and all!) up in the wooded hills all around my house ('sides,I look too big to be pulled by a goat anyway- I guess :o) Here is a website that I bookmarked on working wethers that you may enjoy...who knows maybe this family reads this forum! Go to: http://www.kickadeehill.com/wether.htm
RATS, I wish links were clickable here!!!
I was told just to work on a leash with the words "Stop" and "Go". I sometimes just walk next to him and say stop -just before I stop- and go- just before I resume moving. Sometimes I think he is working with me- sometimes not. Anyway, I'll keep reading this thread on cart and hpoefully pack goats too. I'd love to hear more/see photo's from y'all!
Wendy Hannum SE OHIO
-- Wendy Hannum (firstname.lastname@example.com), April 21, 2002.
I see we have lots of interest! I like the idea of goats hauling firewood. Did anyone know the French built coaches out of paper mache? Actually paper and lacquor (sp)? Why not paper strips over a form using polyurethane? Hmmm? Light, strong, use a wood frame to attach axles. But have you looked at the price of coach wheels???? Anyone have Amish next door that could get 'em cheaper?
-- Dennis Enyart (firstname.lastname@example.com), April 21, 2002.
Just buy bicycle wheels for a mountain bike. I'm a bit sketchy on the paper and laquer idea....how's it take water? I like the bike trolley idea, too. Those can be had used....I have two monster sized wethers, but they are mismatched in heighth, and I presume to team them they would need to be similar like horses. I'll be watching your progress with interest! To be honest with myself I don't have the time to train my boys, so they just get to be sassy and happy.
-- Doreen (firstname.lastname@example.com), April 21, 2002.
Goat-Karting is great fun, but plan to spend a lot of time at it to get good results. My son was nine when he started to train his wether, took a year of training before he had a goat he could drive around the neighborhood selling goat milk soap and entering parades. Great promotion for 4H and goats.
Start when the kid is 2 or 3 months old and get it used to walking on a leash. Make sure he walks ahead of you and not behind or he'll always be a follower. Next get him used to a halter and leash. Add another leash so you have two reins and teach him left and right, pulling on the rein to turn his head. Slowly add the other parts of the harness as you practice with him. When all that is going well have someone pull the cart around behind him as you drive him in the harness. This gets him used to the sound which seems to bother them more than the weight of the kart. Proceed to the next step only when he is comfortable with the last. Just let him stand with the cart hooked up to the harness at first. Next let him pull it as you walk beside the cart. Finally, you can get in and go for a ride. If the goat panics and starts to run, NEVER jump out or stick your foot out to try to stop. Just gently pull the goat's head around to the side, being careful that you don't flip the cart.
Go slow in your training. A young goat will be stubborn but as they get older they are much more willing.
-- Kristine Taylor (email@example.com), April 22, 2002.
I live in the city so i cannot have goats, however i do have a dog. I want to start carting with him, but am having trouble finding good plans for a two wheeled sulky. i attempted to weld one, but after fashioning the traces out of poplar wood , i wasnt sure where they needed to be attached, or how the whole configuration should be balanced. i am assuming that there is some small goat cart that would be appropriate for my dog. please email me if you might have any suggestions for resources. i prefer to build my own. so plans would be fantastic! if you also know of any groups around richmond va who i might talk to , let me know!
best regards kate horne
-- kate horne (email@example.com), November 12, 2002.
The latest issue of the Dairy Goat Journal had plans and directions for making a goat cart. It looked pretty straightforward.

To the Editor:
President Clinton's tax proposals have an element of unfairness that has not been generally noted: the inequality of sacrifice between two-income married couples and single people with the same income.
For instance, the President proposes to raise the tax rate from 31 percent to 36 percent on married couples with a taxable income of $140,000, but not on single individuals until their taxable incomes reach $115,000 each.
It would be more nearly fair, if the increase is to apply to single taxpayers only from an income of $115,000, that it apply to a married couple with joint incomes beginning at $230,000, not $140,000.
Or, if the increase is applicable to married couples at the suggested income level of $140,000, for it to apply to single individuals with a taxable income of $70,000, not $115,000.
The President's plan perpetuates and exacerbates a longstanding subsidy to single taxpayers that amounts to a tax penalty on marriage. The subsidy is based on archaic assumptions about work force composition.
It was originally enacted to correct what was thought to be an unfair tax advantage enjoyed by married couples. It used to be assumed most married couples had only one income earner and could split that income between them for tax purposes, as well as sharing household expenses, while most single earners could not split their incomes for tax purposes and live alone.
Now most married taxpayers pay taxes on two incomes and therefore do not enjoy tax benefits from filing joint returns, except where there are substantial disparities in their incomes. At the same time, most unmarried taxpayers now live in households with other taxpayers -- parents, roommates or lovers -- so that largely they do not suffer from a disadvantage in basic living expenses compared with married individuals.Continue reading the main story
We should therefore be moving in the direction of more nearly equal tax rates for all earners, regardless of marital status. The income levels for the imposition of the new 36 percent rate should accordingly be adjusted, either upward for the joint returns or downward for the individual returns, in the interest of equality of contribution toward the common good from all who enjoy the same taxable income.

March 2, 2012 Fennville, Michigan
The Fennville Downtown Development Authority (DDA) is pleased to announce the schedule of the Fennville Farmers Market for 2012. The Fennville Farmers Market will begin on Friday, June 8, 2012 in the parking lot at the southwest corner of South Maple and Main Streets. The Farmers Market will be open from 3:00pm until 8:00pm every Friday through October 19th.
This will be the second season for the Fennville Farmers Market with local growers, crafters and artisans. The Farmers Market began in the city hall parking lot in 2011. After receiving a grant from the USDA a parking lot was built at the SW Corner of Main and South Maple, a perfect location for the Farmers Market. In September the Market moved to its current location.
The FMM has joined the West Michigan Tourist Association's (www.wmta.org) marketing efforts of "Find your Flavor" campaign to gain a greater exposure for the market. "The Fennville region has an abundance of growers and artisans so, "Find your Flavor in Fennville" will be our seasonal theme", said board member Amy Cook.
If you are a local grower, artisan, or crafter that would like to participate in the Fennville Farmers Market, please contact City Clerk Pat Phenix by e-mail at email@example.com. For further information, visit www.fennville.com/farmersmarket.html or call City Hall at 269-561-8321.

Brazil: Support Victims, Not Abusers
Lula Should Show Solidarity for Human Rights at UN Council
"Brazil's support for abusive governments is undermining the Human Rights Council's performance," said Julie de Rivero, Geneva advocacy director at Human Rights Watch. "Rather than speaking up for victims, Brazil often argues that governments need to be given a chance and that the sovereignty of nations is more important than human rights."
Over the past few months, Brazil has abstained on a resolution on the situation in North Korea, which deplored the grave, widespread, and systematic human rights abuses there, in particular the use of torture and labor camps against political prisoners. Brazil has also abstained on a vote on the situation of the Democratic Republic of Congo, which sought to strengthen the role of expert investigators and to condemn the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war and child recruitment.
During the special session on the situation in Sri Lanka, Brazil co-sponsored a resolution that affirmed the long-discredited principle of non-interference in domestic affairs. The resolution ignored allegations echoed by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay, that war crimes may have been committed by both government forces and the rebel Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam and should be investigated by an independent inquiry or commission.
Human Rights Watch said Brazil seemed to believe that deploring the death of thousands of civilians and expressing concern about the fate of 300,000 people detained in camps in Sri Lanka was interference in domestic affairs.
"Brazil seems more concerned about not offending abusers than it is about implementing the council's mandate to address human rights violations," said de Rivero.
In these votes and debates, Brazil has preferred to align itself with countries like China, Cuba and Pakistan that question the value of country-specific action at the council. Brazil has turned its back on countries like Argentina, Mexico, and Chile that have had a much more committed approach to human rights in the UN.
"Brazil is siding with human rights violators rather than with their victims," de Rivero said. "We hope that in the future Brazil's response to abuses raised at the Human Rights Council will be unequivocal and firmly on the side of victims."

Bryan Bickell was so used to the bigger European ice that when he first returned for the Blackhawks informal workouts, he misjudged the area.
I remember the first practice (back) here at Johnnys, I ran into the boards, Bickell said. All the guys liked that.
All kidding and smaller ice area aside, Bickell took advantage of his time playing over in Europe. And he said the biggest improvement he made was with his skating.
It was the systems, I think, Bickell said. There isnt a lot of structure but its a very big skating league with the bigger ice, and just the open ice so much more. It was just overall the ice and how good the skaters were. The systems arent what they are here, but it was a good league.
Bickell joined HC Znojmo, an Austrian League squad based in the Czech Republic, in early October. Besides adjusting to the country, Bickell had to get used to the bigger ice fast.
Positioning-wise, the smarter play is probably the easier play with less skating. There is so much ice, so much more time that if you give any guys that are skilled a chance, theyll blow by you. You had to position yourself in the right spot, Bickell said. It took a couple of games to figure it out; a lot of huffing and puffing those first few games. But hopefully I can keep it going over here.
Coach Joel Quenneville said he saw the change in Bickell immediately.
I noticed him the first day in camp that he's skating better, Quenneville said. He might have shed a few pounds, and he was talking about the big ice surface over there, where it's more of a skating game. We like his size, we like his quickness, and with his physicality added to that.
Bickell got his skating work in over in Europe. He hopes to keep seeing results of it now that hes back in a Blackhawks uniform.
I know we have to stick to our systems and its not a run and gun game over here, but my cardio and and fitness right now is probably the highest its ever been. Coming off that and not sitting here waiting for the season to start was huge. I feel good and were playing good.

If you're anything like me whenever you stop in a big city, you have a few main attractions that you'd like to visit and end up haphazardly spending half your day staring at maps and trying to figure out the public transit system.
However, by focusing on a limited few attractions, we're missing out on dozens of interesting places that we could've visited along the way. This is where a route optimization algorithm can come into play. If we hand the algorithm the list of popular attractions in a city, it can provide us an efficient walking tour around the city that hits all of those attractions.
Below, is an optimized walking tour for Philadelphia that hits the most popular attractions in the city according to TripAdvisor. This walking tour by no means represents the "definitive" walking tour for the city, but it's guaranteed to give you a great taste of the city while you're there.
Optimized walking tour of Philadelphia
The Liberty Bell, cheese steaks, and obnoxious sports fans: These are some of the things that Philadelphia is widely known for. But did you know that Philadelphia is home to one of the largest urban park systems in the U.S.? Or that it's home to America's first zoo?
This 12-mile, 4-hour walking tour will take you through some of the best that Philadelphia has to offer, from beautiful parks to historic landmarks to breathtaking outdoor art collections. Again, don't take this tour lightly, and plan to spend at least a few days in total enjoying the sights.
Disclaimer – If 12 miles of walking sounds like too much, you can easily cut down on walking by taking public transit for some of the longer legs of the trek. Or better yet, the same tour can be followed on a bike instead.
Here's the full list of attractions in order:
Fairmount Park
Please Touch Museum, 4231 Avenue of the Republic
Philadelphia Zoo, West Girard Avenue
Philadelphia Museum of Art, Benjamin Franklin Parkway
Rocky Steps, Benjamin Franklin Parkway
Eastern State Penitentiary, Fairmount Avenue
Rodin Museum, Benjamin Franklin Parkway
Barnes Foundation, 2025 Benjamin Franklin Parkway
The Franklin Institute, North 20th Street
Mutter Museum, South 22nd Street
Penn Museum, 3260 South Street
University of Pennsylvania
Rittenhouse Square
Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter & Paul, Race Street
Pennsylvania Academy of The Fine Arts, North Broad Street
Masonic Temple, North Broad Street
Philadelphia City Hall, John F Kennedy Boulevard
Reading Terminal Market, 51 N 12th St
National Constitution Center, 525 Arch Street
Fireman's Hall Museum, North 2nd Street
Elfreth's Alley
Christ Church, 20 North American Street
National Museum of American Jewish History
Independence National Historical Park
Philadelphia's Magic Gardens, South Street
Undoubtedly, you'd like to pick your own stops in your own cities and optimize a walking tour around that. Well, you're in luck!
If you'd like to customize your own walking tour, there is a Python code used in this project with an open source license and instructions for how to optimize your custom walking tour. If Google Maps can route in the city you want to take walking tour in, then this code will work for you.

Estimated Startup Costs
|Advertising and promotion (1 month)
|Business insurance (1 month)
|Governmental requirements (local fees and business license)
|Job supplies
|Office equipment
|Office supplies
|Other operating expenses (1 month)
|Reference book
|Total estimated startup costs
Note: See the Planning costs and expenses subtopic in the Business Plan on another page for ways to reduce these startup costs.
|Top of Page
This topic satisfies the Starting business operations subtopic in the Business Plan page.
Preparing for business operations
Completing the startup requirements -- This is the last step needed just before you start business operations. See the Listing the startup requirements subtopic in the Business Plan for the items remaining to be completed.
As a minimum, you should have discussed the business idea with your family, set up your business entity, and satisfied all governmental and insurance requirements.
Local information needed -- You need the location of local dumpsites, fees charged for dumping, restrictions on materials allowed to be dumped, and rules for hauling trash.
If you will be replacing any roof decking on a job, you need to see if a building permit and/or a contractor's license is required.
Operating the business
Soliciting customers -- Place classified advertisements in your local newspaper and/or newsletter of the local property owners association. Use a simple, honest description of your services. (Once you become well known in the community, you should benefit from word of mouth advertising from satisfied customers.)
For additional ideas on soliciting customers, see the Sales Methods page in another section.
Getting jobs -- Hopefully, some of the people who read your advertisements will inquire about your services. During this initial telephone conversation, you should determine if you are willing and able to provide the desired services. If so, you may want to discuss the tentative cost of the job. However, in most cases you probably want to inspect the damaged roof before quoting a price.
I recommend that you meet with customers in their homes or offices, or at the job site. Your neighbors may object to having a stream of strangers arriving at your home. Also, meeting with customers in your home may violate the zoning rules in your town or city.
See the preceding Profitability of idea subtopic for my thoughts about setting your fee.
Before taking on any dangerous jobs, you should have adequate experience and workmen's compensation coverage.
Job procedures
Preliminary job activities -- After greeting the customer at the job site, you need to determine the source of the roof leak. The customer may be able to help you on this matter. However, any dripping from a ceiling inside the house may not be directly under the leak in the roof. When water falls onto a horizontal surface, it may travel some distance before finding a low point and dripping down onto the space below.
There are two ways to discover the source of roof leaks. One way is to get into the attic and look up at the underside of the roof deck. You may be able to spot areas that are still damp after a recent rain. Then you could measure the location of the damp area from some prominent structure. Thus, you could use a chimney or a plumbing vent pipe as a reference point up on the roof. However, the actual source of the roof leak may be higher up on the roof than indicated by this damp area. After penetrating the shingles or flashing on top of the roof, rainwater may travel down the roof deck some distance before dripping into the attic.
Another way for locating the roof leak is to visually inspect the top of the roof. This inspection can be done from the ground or by getting up on the roof (assuming it isn't slippery) and looking for signs of a leak. This sign might be damaged or missing shingles, mangled or missing flashing, debris on the roof, or even a gaping hole.
The customer may be in a hurry and want you to work on a holiday or weekend to get the job done soon.
You can use your job bid forms to estimate the costs of making the roof repairs. The cost of materials (asphalt patching, flashing, roof decking, and shingles) can be estimated, subject to actual retail cost. This bid should include the fees for any extra services to be performed, such as working on weekends or at night, and hauling away any trash. The bid probably should include a completion date, subject to availability of materials. If the customer accepts your bid, you both can sign the bid form.
If doing the work later on, you need to set the time and date, and arrange for access to the property. You also may want the customer to pay you for part or all of the estimated costs of materials before starting the job.
Main job activities -- See the following Main procedures topic.
Final job activities -- Inspect the premises to verify you have finished all required tasks. Remove all your equipment and supplies. Gather up all damaged shingles and other trash and place in a pile on the ground, or in cardboard boxes or trashcans.
Collect your agreed upon fee from the customer. Haul the trash away, if part of your agreed upon services.

This topic is discussed under the following subtopics:
Repairing damage to the roof deck
Removing damaged shingles
Replacing shingles
Fixing damaged or missing flashing
Helpful hints
Climbing around roofs (especially high, steep, or wet roofs) can be dangerous. I recommend that you limit your jobs to dry, low roofs with gentle slopes until you get used to this activity.
Repairing damage to the roof deck
Note: this procedure may require obtaining a building permit and/or a contractor's license before any work is performed.
Shingles are normally laid on top of a roof deck of plywood, oriented strand board (OSB), or boards that are in turn supported by the rafters. You may have to repair this deck before you can replace the damaged or missing shingles.
The first step is to remove enough of the overlying shingles to reveal the extent of the damage to be repaired. See the following subtopic for this procedure.
The next step is using a cut-off saw to remove the damaged area of the roof deck. Set the blade to just slightly more than the depth of the deck material. When cutting out the sides, cut along the middle of a rafter to leave a nailing base. Fill in the cut out area with new plywood, OSB, or boards. Use siding nails or other weatherproof nails to fasten this deck material to the rafters.
The roof deck normally has a layer of roofing paper (asphalt-saturated felt) placed on it. The seams in this roofing paper are overlapped to shed water. The shingles then are laid on top of this roofing paper. So you should replace this roofing paper after you have repaired the damage to the roof deck.
|Top of Topic
Start at the highest row of damaged shingles. When removing these damaged shingles, you have to remove the nails (or staples) directly into these damaged shingles, along with any nails from the row above that also penetrate the damaged shingles.
Carefully lift each shingle tab to expose the head of each nail that penetrates a damaged shingle. Use a chisel or nail puller, and a claw hammer to remove the nails. If a nail loses its head, use a pair of pliers to wrestle it out.
Remove all damaged shingles in this highest row. Continue downward until all damaged shingles have been removed. Place the old nails and the damaged shingles into a sturdy cardboard box.
|Top of Topic
You should have removed any damaged shingles per the above subtopic. Now you can nail down new shingles in place of the missing shingles.
Start at the lowest row of missing shingles and work upward. When you reach the row of good shingles, you will have to slide the new shingles under them. In order to nail down these new shingles, you will have to carefully lift up the shingle tab that rests on top of where you want to nail. You also need to replace all the nails that you removed from the good shingles.
It's usually a good idea to place a dab of roof cement on the underside of those shingle tabs that have been raised up. This will tend to keep them laying flat on the roof.
|Top of Topic
Fixing damaged or missing flashing
Metal flashing is used to prevent leaks where different types of materials meet. The typical example is where a chimney or plumbing vent pipe comes through the roof. This flashing can work itself loose or be damaged by the elements.
If the flashing is only moderately damaged it probably can be forced back into position and then covered with roofing cement at the edges. If the flashing is missing or severely damaged it should be replaced with new flashing.
|Top of Topic
Put on goggles before doing any sawing.
Put on work gloves before handling any pieces of wood. (Splinters are dangerous and painful.)
Before cutting any expensive (or hard to replace) piece of wood to the proper size:
Use a tape measure to determine how much to cut off.
Write down this measurement.
Measure again to verify what you wrote down.
Measure the wood and mark where to cut off.
Verify that mark against your written measurement.
Then, and only then, cut the wood.
When walking on a sloping roof, you should wear boots or shoes that will not slip on the roof deck, roofing paper, or shingles. An example would be Cougar Paws roofing boots. You can visit CougarPaws.com for more details.
Where the roof is especially steep, you may want to use roof jacks. These brackets are temporarily fastened to the roof deck with strong nails driven through a part of the shingle that will be hidden from view. After attaching two or more brackets, you can lay a 2 x 6 or other strong board onto the brackets as a foot support.

Minister's Profile
Sri K T Rama Rao
Hon'ble Minister for IT, Industries, MA & UD, NRI Affairs
Prior to Ministry: After completing his MBA, Sri K.T. Rama Rao worked as IT Professional for six years – from 2001 to 2006. His keen observation of political activism as a child, his international exposure as a student, and his strategic role as IT professional empowered Sri K.T. Rama Rao to join 'fulltime' in bandwagon of politics. He became the full-time TRS activist in the year 2006.
His go-getter tendency, never give-up mindset, inclination to fight for the deprived enabled him to get connected with wide spectrum of the political arena. He established the required convergence from grass root level workers to the national level leaders. He actively participated in the Telangana movement between 2009 and 2014.
Sri K.T. Rama Rao has been putting relentless efforts in streamlining the assigned portfolios. As an IT Minister, Sri K.T. Rama Rao has come up with omniscient vision to cater the multi-dimensional requirements of the IT industry. Several complementary initiatives are launched under his noble leadership to address the needs of the industry.
T-HUB:Sri K. T. Rama Rao's vision is to build Hyderabad as the largest centre for startups and entrepreneurship activities in India, called T-HUB. The sole target of this prestigious project is to have Tech Ecosystem in Hyderabad and nurture the young and dynamic people as entrepreneurs. Sri K. T. Rama Rao is aspiring to make Telangana as the most investor-friendly state by providing the required facilities, and by removing the avoidable delays in any new project launch.
TASK: Telangana Academy for Skill and Knowledge to addresses the problems of unemployment in Telangana. The aim of TASK is to provide / produce enough number of readily employable graduates in Telangana by improving their skills and knowledge. This initiative would bridge the gap between the industry expectations and the available skilllset.
Hy-Fi: Sri K.T. Rama Rao's another brainchild is to make Hyderabad as the first Wi-Fi enabled city in India, and thus promoting Hyderabad as a Global Lifestyle Destination. Hyderabad being the second largest exporter of IT, this initiative should work as 'icing on the cake'. With this initiative, IT Minister's vision is to provide the global information on fingertips to the denizens of Hyderabad.
Sri. K T Rama Rao, a devout public servant, with his remarkable vision and unfettered passion to carry the nascent Telangana to heights of development, is a true stand-out in the realm of today's politics.

In which I talk about chanting Torah, singing, life, you name it. This blog is a writing exercise to help me organize my thoughts. Please bear with me for all the posts that are out of chronological order; I'm adding bits of the story as I think of them.
Friday, February 01, 2008
616. Freedom
The number seven, as in so many customs in the Torah, suggests a meaning beyond the literal. We rest--are freed from work--on Shabbat, the seventh day. And we turn to the door at the end of the Lekha Dodi prayer on Friday night to welcome the Shabbat bride, symbol of the perfect world to come. We look with longing at that doorpost--but is it because we want to be free, or are afraid to leave the room? I'm sure some slaves stayed on because they had become beloved family members over the years. But others couldn't imagine life on the outside, the uncertainty and difficult choices that came along with happiness, and so chose to remain tethered.
We face the same dilemma each week, said the rabbi. We can accept the freedom we're given in the form of Shabbat, a day to rest and forget our burdens, or be pierced against the doorpost--what, ignore email? leave my cell phone at home? how is that possible?--and convince ourselves slavery is the better option. It sounds like a no-brainer, but is not an easy choice at all. We--I--derive our identity from being connected. Disengagement feels like drowning, losing one's bearings completely, dizzy with no ground in sight. But when you do it, and discover how nice it is to float, how calm and sane, you want to stay that way forever, as at the end of the Amidah: "Help me to extend the joy of Shabbat to the other days of the week, until I attain the goal of deep joy always."

This was wonderful, aa.. thanks for posting about this week's parasha.
I was reminded of that saying, "better the devil you know than the devil you don't".
But sometimes, if you allow yourself, you find out there really is no devil, and that brings tremendous freedom...
Shabbat Shalom, dear friend...

I am computational biologist focused on solving problems related to immunology and infectious diseases. My prior training was in Biology and Chemistry (BS 2006) and Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (MS 2008). In order to gain more hands-on experience, I spent four years as a group member in Dr. Louis Picker's Lab, where I focused on immunological studies relating to HIV Vaccines. Our work culminated in a critical examination of vaccine-mediated correlates of protection in Rhesus Macaques (Nature Medicine 2012).
In 2012, I was accepted as a PhD fellow in the Division of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, Department of Medical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology. As a PhD candidate, I am working under the guidance and mentorship of Drs. David M. Lewinsohn, Marielle C. Gold and Shannon K. McWeeney. I am contributing to a recently funded project by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (PI: Dr. David Lewinsohn) to study a population of tuberculosis (TB)-recognizing T-cells known as mucosal associated invariant T (MAIT) cells. A key idea of the proposal is that MAIT cells may be harnessed as unconventional TB vaccine targets. Currently, I am focusing on novel strategies for computational immune phenotyping using CyTOF.

…and you couldn't have possibly think I would pass up my post of Zack Snyder's film adaptation of the graphic novel.
For those that haven't read the graphic novel, the premise is Frank Miler's storytelling skills placed against the backdrop of 480 B.C., when 300 Greek Spartans fought to defend their civilization against an invasion of about a million Persians. How much of Miller's version is historical fact, is up to the historians to debate. But for pure FM-style entertainment, I had enjoyed the read of 300 as I had the love for the Sin City series.
Therefore, it's no surprise that I had hauled my ass to watch the movie version ASAP, when it was initially released in the U.S. last Friday. As of today, it made about $70 million over the weekend, so most of y'all saw it too. If not, most of y'all will. The film can only best be enjoyed as a visually-styled movie, and to give it more undue credit then that, is to read into it as something that it is not. It's been criticized for lack of a "meaty" plot (which is a fair criticism), but being this was an obvious "high concept" flick, I was entertained by my expectations of an "R-rated" popcorn flick. But since, I've heard amusing, but contradicting reactions which included its absorbing "cartoony" violence versus its brutal beheadings, and more humorous opposing viewpoints were that the movie was a men's machismo fantasy, while others said that the flick was latently homosexual.
But, anyways, during the 300 panel, at the WonderCon 2007 convention, an audience member posed a couple of critical questions aimed at Zack Snyder, regarding the "ethnic" portrayals, as well as, the "crucifixion" ending of the film. This movie was an obvious work of fiction (like how Amityville Horror and the Da Vinci Code were), where historical facts were liberally used as background to a movie for entertainment purposes only. But, there's bound to be a common dumbass (or dumbasses) who thinks he (or they) is smarter than the production of the movie. No worries. Zack was prepared to answer – by first providing the diplomatic response of "it's good that my movies can cause discussion of more important topics." Then he simply explained "…but this is Frank Miller."
Yup, I agree, it's Frank Miller. And this is what the comic writer & artist had written in the 3rd issue of 300 that would perfectly apply to the issue:
If I allowed my characters to express my own attitudes and beliefs, my work would be pretty damn boring. If I wrote to please grievance groups, my work would be propaganda.
Yet, we continue to get responses by those who have not read the book or seen the movie like this – 300 Sparks an Outcry in Iran.
Oh woe, is the thought of man as an intelligent species.
Last week, I saw Black Snake Moan. When I first viewed the trailer, I was intrigued by the concept of a white nymph held captive by a black bible-thumping southerner to absolve her sins as a play on race. Although, As much as I enjoyed the movie and its music, like all mainstream Hollywood films of late, it fell short of having the balls to be daring and more racy. Although, I've grown up with a love of American cinema, and I doubt I will ever, ever fall out of love of it, a large part of me continues to be disappointed with the lack of courage by it in creating revolutionary films, in the face of fear of losing a commercially viable audience. Come on, Americans aren't that dumb, are we? I'm not a cynic, there is sign of intelligence out there for a "new wave" of filmmakers to exploit.
Otherwise, I believe this year will continue to be entertaining with American mainstream movies… Grind House is coming up… although, there is a mixed reservations for Transformers. For god's sake, Michael Bay is directing it. We'll see… huh? Live Free or Die Hard? (Hey, Kevin Smith is in it, and for that reason alone, I'm looking forward to the flick.) Spidey 3… Pirates of the Caribbean 3… Harry Potter 5… but revolutionary?

Chinese Envelope Making
In preparation for Chinese New Year on 10th February 2013, the boarders met up on Saturday to make Chinese red envelopes for all members of the boarding community. The envelopes are traditionally given away during holidays or on special occasions. They symbolise good luck and are supposed to keep away evil spirits. Mr. Chorley and Miss Klüppelholz were supported by a number of students who helped cutting out, folding and sticking the envelopes together. After this was done the Chinese students drew the Chinese sign for luck on each of them. In the end we managed to make about 150 envelopes altogether.

What You'll Get
Long eyelashes serve multiple purposes, from shooing incoming moths to extinguishing nearby forest fires with a single, fierce blink. Elongate eye fringe with today's Groupon: for $49, you get an introductory lash-extension package at Lash in Westminster (a $150 value). Customers can upgrade to the Mascara set of lashes (up to 40 lashes/eye) for an additional $20; the Lush set of lashes (up to 60 lashes/eye) for an additional $40; or the Glam set of lashes (up to 80 lashes/eye) for an additional $60. There is an additional cost for colored and glitter lashes.
The talented aestheticians at Lash embellish peepers with up to 20 natural-looking synthetic lashes per eye during relaxing one- to two-hour extension sessions. After clients choose their lash length, curliness, and whether or not they want them to glow in the dark, ocular decorators carefully dot lash lines with medical-grade latex-free glue before gently affixing the bristles. Depending on lifestyle and the normal life cycle of lashes, the extensions can last three to six weeks, can be worn while swimming or working out, and can reduce the necessity of mascara or feeding lashes spinach to make them grow.

In this post, we delve into the quagmire that is the contemporary media audience and get our hands dirty with the big questions – the when, where, why and how of modern media engagement, and how this has changed over time. By doing so, I will also address some of the problems that arise through this unprecedented relationship.
A Brief Background
The relationship between the media and its audience has transformed dramatically over the past century. Unprecedented access to advanced technologies and an increasingly urbanised population has shaped our social expectations and values beyond recognition. The way in which we consume media, and the content we engage in is in stark contrast to earlier generations. So much so, that I may have potentially lost you already. As an increasingly discerning and selective audience, I may be competing with your smartphone, any number of apps or feeds for your attention. You are unlikely to be to engaging with this blog alone.
Ien Ang in 'Living Room Wars: Rethinking Media Audiences' argues that all sources of media have been fundamentally altered by this leap forward; 'developments such as pluralisation, diversification, commercialisation, commodification [and] internationalisation… [have thrown] established paradigms of how [media] operates in culture and society into disarray' (Ang, 1996). Essentially, the way we live has altered how we think about, and what we want from the media.
When, Where and How?
So, when do we actually engage in media, and where do we do it? You may well be eating your breakfast, on a bus or grabbing 5 minutes between appointments. The ability to access news, literally around the clock, has greatly impacted on the character of media audiences. With an emphasis on 'instant' news, social media provides an almost constant stream of information, and we are saturated daily with updates, notifications and alerts from personal devices tuned to our individual media preferences.
This preoccupation with staying 'up to date' is apparent in the workplace, within the home and during our leisure time. This rapid change, within only one generation, has implications for our domestic practices, social relationships, and our very identity (Livingstone, 2003), and hence has profoundly changed our society as a media audience.
How we interact with the media has also changed, although not as much as popular opinion might suggest. The 2016 Australian Digital News Report – part of a global survey encompassing 25 other countries – surveyed over 2 000 Australians, and found that there is a distinct pattern in the aged-based consumption of media. People aged over 45 are more likely to use 'traditional' media sources such as newspapers, the radio and television. If you are younger than 35, the internet and social media platforms are your most likely source of information. Which tells me that if you are reading my blog, you are probably, but not necessarily under 35. Even with these discrepancies, overall 48% of those surveyed admitted to using Facebook as a source of news.
The Challenges
All these changes are not without consequence. The most prominent issue, according to the 2016 News Report, is that we crave instant gratification and have a shorter attention span – only 10% of consumers would read more than two thirds of an article this size or larger. It's good to know I have engaged at least 1 in 10 of you. Issues are made more complicated by 'media produsers'. We apparently aren't satisfied with merely engaging in content and so have started creating our own. Click 'share' and you become part of the illustrious club.
While these findings and trends pose a range of challenges in terms of retaining audience attention, patronage and interest, the report claims not all is doom and gloom. It suggests the percentage of those less inclined to trust a news source may represent an emerging group of higher educated, more critical consumers. Come to think of it;that is probably you. Stay tuned…
The report points out that younger generations, engaged with the media as a source of entertainment, are yet to 'come of age' and begin accessing news as a daily necessity. The impacts of this transition, and the ability of social media to provide for these needs is unknown. It seems there is still rocky rides ahead.

text: DOJ Complaint Alleges One-Way Chart Review Renders Medicare Advantage Risk Adjustment Certifications False Inside the FCA Blog Publications May 10, 2017 Earlier this month, DOJ filed its complaint-in-intervention alleging FCA claims in the long pending Medicare Advantage case U.S. ex rel. Swoben v. Secure Horizons. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit revived this matter last year when it held that the design of a retrospective review to avoid discovery of unsupported diagnoses submitted for risk adjustment can give rise to FCA liability resulting from false certifications. DOJ intervened in March 2017 only as to the UnitedHealth Group parties in the case. DOJ had intervened previously as to the SCAN defendants, who settled their portion of the case for $322 million in August 2012.

Well, maybe, but at least if they didn't, we could see focused whinging, aimed at the bars who were "ripping off" customers, instead of it all being directed at breweries as it seems to be now whenever there's any online discussion of beer pricing.

Anyway, spot on as always Dom. Up next, in an adult society where we should be responsible for our own choices, should excise even exist?Greig McGillhttps://email@example.com

It's what I gave away to my blog's followers a couple of weeks back. It's my current fave, actually.
It's a fragrance from Penshoppe, but, it's not your ordinary perfume because it has glitters in it.
Yeah. Glitters!
So, every spray won't only let you smell good....you'll also sparkle! CHOZ!
That's what I love about "Shimmer."
It comes in 2 variants: Bombshell (the golden yellow one) and Vamp (the silvery white one).
I bet Mario Maurer loves girls who use "Shimmer," too. Teehee!
BTW, I broke a bottle. So, I ended up paying for it, too.
Oh, well. I just hope my followers loved the "Shimmer" I gave 'em. Hey, I kinda sounded like a fairy godmother there. Teehee!
Oh! I'm still giving away Ed Westwick's "Free Spirited For Men" (by Penshoppe). It ends next week, Tuesday. (Click here for details.)
That's all. 'Til next time!

Evidence-based research delivers new staff retention tools to nursing homes
Evidence-based research delivers new staff retention tools to nursing homes
The tools are the byproduct of four years of investigation, said the director of BJBC, an initiative managed by the Institute for the Future of Aging Services.
"It's no secret that quality in long-term care cannot be achieved without a quality workforce," says Robyn Stone, Ph.D., executive director of IFAS. "These resources make it easy for providers to take lessons from evidence-based research and use them to transform their organizations."
A catalogue of the group's research shows the benefits of job training programs on staff retention, while a short accompanying video highlights real-world examples of the effectiveness of the programs. A "News You Can Use" fact sheet shows providers where to find new pools of potential employees. More information is available at www.bjbc.org.
