Dog Teaming
More work today on our Dog Team Barn from Connor Homes. And, time tonight for the kids to "team" up on Daddy beside our new garage.

Mommy's Night Out
Now that the house is under cover with plywood sheathing, the garage is getting some more attention. Shine and I made just a quick stop by today, and saw a gable placed, before heading off to bring Shimmer home from Grammie and Grampie's. Gotta get back in time for a girl's night out at the driving range and desserts at a friend's house. Daddy was nice enough to give up his bike night so I can go. He and the kids are headed to Toy Story 3. Fun for all!

When Shimmer's Away... Shine Will Play
No summer camps on the schedule for Shimmer this week so she is having her first sleepover with Grammie and Grampie... TWO nights and she is double-excited! Shine and I stopped by the house today and the crew is hard at work again. Plywood complete on the back of the house and they were starting the front as we got ready to leave. My "shadow" had fun climbing the dirt piles with me to get some photos.
Came back over with Daddy this evening and Shine got to do some more climbing... this time up the ladder to our second floor, with Mommy waiting at the top and Daddy following him, so he could go into his room for the first time. He did a little happy dance... wish I had that on video! One of those memories mommies stash away in a special corner of their heart.

Passing Time
Nice weather on Thursday and Friday but not much happening at the site, other than a little backfilling. A couple guys are on vacation and the others had some cabinetry to put in at a prior job that had been back-ordered. No complaints here... I would want my kitchen too if I'd been waiting! Our windows are delaying our exterior shipment anyway, so we can spare some time. Daddy is anxious though to get the house under roof. All in God's timing... not ours.

Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me...
Trying to squeeze in an evening VBS tonight for Shimmer (and Shine) at a little country church nearby with some friends, (since she is missing ours due to art camp this week). So, it was getting late before we made it over to the house tonight. House and the connecting mudroom are roof-ready.
As we were leaving, we spotted an incredible sunset and raced to the top of the hill to try and get a picture before it dropped below the horizon.

Movin' On Up...
Beginning of another week and summer is officially off and running... and so is Mama! Shimmer started art camp, Shine has VBS, and things keep moving right along at our lot. Second floor framing was completed and the guys were installing the third floor joists, when we stopped over today.

Seeing is Believing...
Picked Daddy up from work today and after a quick change at home (from pool clothes for us and work clothes for Daddy), we headed over to waterseal the second floor. Shimmer and Shine were anxious to get a firsthand look at their rooms, but that will have to wait until we have actual stairs. They went on a "nature walk" up and down the road in front of the house while we worked.
I still can't get over how much progress has been made this week. It's been exciting to watch...

Now Framing: Our Second Floor
After lunch downtown with Daddy today, Shimmer had a birthday party to go to for a classmate. Daddy had been to our lot this morning (we realized last night after looking at our floorplan, that the pocket door framing for our laundry room had been installed on the wrong side and he wanted to let our GC know. They are glad we noticed it... should save trouble down the road). Anyway, Daddy said they probably would be framing the second floor this afternoon, so Shine and I ran home for the camera and drove over to take a few photos before needing to pick Shimmer up. Great timing today... we got there and saw a wall go into place on the master bath. Overheard the crew say it went up perfectly.

We've Come a Long Way
Grandpa paid a visit today to see how our new house is coming along. Last time he was here was April 6th, and back then we were still clearing the massive pile of downed trees and brush. Excited to have him see all the framing that's taken place in the last week. When we pulled in this afternoon, the steel beam had already been installed in the garage and work was progressing on our second floor, floor joists.

Work in Progress
As excited as we were to see the progress on the first floor last night, I was a little disappointed to miss all the action! So... I took Shimmer and Shine over late this morning in hopes of seeing a wall go up, but we were later than I wanted to be and lunch break was due. We looked over the garage framing that had started and then decided to head home ourselves for lunch. Shimmer went next door to play with a friend after lunch, but Shine and I headed back and spent an hour at the lot and did get to see walls and a header set for the shed.

What a Difference a Day Makes
Shimmer and Shine spent the day with me while we ran some errands out of town, including a few stops to pick up more paint chips since I just can't seem to make up my mind. It was 5:30pm before we made it over to the lot and storm clouds were hovering, but what a surprise we got when we drove down the lane...
Can you believe it??? Almost the whole first floor framed in just one day!!! It was so fun for me to walk them through room by room. This makes it real...
It was also literally an answer to prayer for me overnight, since I had just spent the night before praying over our project again and asking that it would be a blessing to our GC and his crew as well. We've all gone into this with blind faith to a certain extent and today a weight was lifted off our shoulders. Glory to God and compliments to Connor Homes!

Let the Good Times Roll
First floor decking was completed yesterday and Daddy spent last evening rolling it with water sealer to protect against forecasted showers this weekend. The openings are for our fireplace and stairway. After some whining (from him), I convinced Daddy to pose with Shimmer and Shine inside our future foyer before leaving.

All Hands on Deck
Rain-out the day after delivery, so the real work started yesterday with floor joists being installed. We drove over late morning with my "soul" sisters who were in town for a visit; plus, three extra little ones. Sorry no pictures... I was keeping a close eye on the kiddos at the worksite.
Today the first floor decking is going down and I let Shimmer and Shine take a few steps on it. They were thrilled to step foot "on" our new home. Shine even helped with clean-up by blowing off some sawdust.

The Moment We've Been Waiting For...
Near 10:00am, I spotted the truck approaching on a nearby hill and we watched it pull in before racing back down the cul-de-sac to call Daddy and see it unload. He arrived just before it was ready to leave. We also got to meet our GC's crew today and who could hope for any better. They went straight to work and when Shimmer and Shine and I returned tonight, we found that they had the sill plate completely installed. All in all, I think the kids and I spent five memorable hours ourselves at the lot today and it was perfect...
Posted by k~ at 10:08 PM 0 comments
Delivery Day is Here!
I could barely sleep last night (don't know if it was nerves or just excitement... but I felt like a kid again, the night before the first day of school). Up early to get ready and take Shimmer and Shine over to our land to see the first delivery from Connor Homes arrive. We weren't quite early enough though... the first truck was already there when we pulled in at 7:40am. Only a few stacks had been unloaded and we learned that another truck was a little more than an hour out and on its way also. Very happy to hear that we would still have a great photo op to mark the occasion.
Daddy didn't arrive until after the first truck left. Meanwhile, Shimmer and Shine and I took a walk out to the end of our road to wait for the next truck to come so we could snap the perfect picture of our new home on its way. We saw two squirrels and a rabbit; plus, the red-winged blackbirds on our walk. It took the truck a little longer than expected to arrive, so Daddy had to go back to work, but we thoroughly enjoyed the sunshine and beautiful view from the spot we chose to wait. Shimmer and Shine found a ladybug that pre-occupied them for quite awhile, and we even had a young deer run right nearby! Sorry, I was so busy getting Shine's attention to see it that I didn't get a photo. It would have been amazing!

Ready and Waiting...
Excitement is in the air tonight as we know the first shipment from Connor Homes (our exterior shell) is scheduled to arrive first thing in the morning!
In the meantime, the garage floors were poured as planned today, completing the foundation and slab work. The sky was painted up as we left tonight and raises our hopes for a perfect day for delivery tomorrow...

Like Father, Like Son...
First day of summer vacation today, and the start of my first summer off with Shimmer and Shine. We plan to make the most of it right here in our little corner of the world, and building our new home will make it memorable on its own.
Tonight, Daddy inspected the finished basement floors while Shine looked over the fill and drains placed in the garage bays and attached shed. For once we are actually hoping for rain. It would help the fill settle before the garage floors are poured on Monday. Forecast looks like it will make that happen at some point this weekend. Praise God from whom all blessings flow...

Division of Labor
I stopped over to the lot this morning after taking Shimmer and Shine to school. Foundation crew will be pouring the basement floor today so I'll bring Shine over later to see the cement trucks one more time. Some questions raised about the amount and type of fill to use in the garage, and who should do the work. In a perfect world, we wouldn't have needed any fill to speak of... but the miscalculations mean we'll need quite a bit.
Shine and I picked up Daddy at lunchtime and met our GC at the site to discuss all the issues. Got there just as the concrete was being delivered. Harder to see now that the walls are up, so we watched through one of the basement windows. A second truck came as we were getting ready to leave. Perfect for a pose!

Article Title
Delivering Different Reinforcers in Each Half of the Session: Effect of Reinforcement Rate
Document Type
Previous research (Weatherly, Stout, Rue, & Melville, 2000) has shown that rats' rates of lever pressing for low-concentration liquid-sucrose reinforcement in the first half of an experimental session are higher when food pellets, rather than the same sucrose reinforcers, are delivered in the second half of the session (i.e., induction). The present study investigated whether this effect was sensitive to changes in the rate of reinforcement in the first or second half of the session. Rats responded in 50-min sessions, with 1% (Experiment 1) or 5% (Experiment 2) liquid-sucrose reinforcers delivered during the first half of the session. In different conditions, food pellets or the same sucrose served as the reinforcer in the second half of the session. Rate of reinforcement in either the first or second half of the session was varied across conditions. Results showed that induction was present in both experiments, although it was most reliable when subjects responded for 1% sucrose. They also suggest that rate of sucrose reinforcement is not a determining factor of when induction will be observed. By doing so, the present results increase the generality of the present induction effect.

I love taking pictures. My family, friends, I even like taking pictures of random items too that catch my eye.
I am by no means a professional photographer, I simply like to play with my camera.

At 20-something years old, I've decided to make a list. The truth is, grown women make lists. In being fierce and independent and fabulous (FIF), women like me are encouraged to go after our goals and dreams- even setting micro goals that get to the big goal.
We are taught to take charge of our finances, and get to that down payment on our first house. To be clear, you are reading the words of a woman who paid off her student loans in 4 years while taking International trips. Yes, budgeting on fleek. However, this same kind of precision is not encouraged in romantic pursuits. Or if it is, it's because the woman "isn't getting any younger" and it's thought to keep desperation in check. That's crap.
The main reason most people don't make lists is because their romantic relationships are driven by location, familiarity, and class. Don't worry, I won't dig out my Sociology course work on this, but suffice it to say most people don't make lists because they don't have to. The more fortunate folks who's no-brainer husbands materialized after saving her from a breakdancer's sharp elbow in the subway, or catching his embarrassed eyes after he hit that sleep nod hard in your grandma's church, are good to go. Girls like me go their weddings.
The big myth though, is that girls like me are unhappy at their weddings because we wish we were them. Does it look good to have a partner in crime for life? Of course! But I'm also not trying to rush into an argument about which way to roll the toothpaste. Very rarely is everything all that it's cracked up to be. Things that also fall in this category: babies, freelancing, mo' money, but I digress...
Aziz Ansari has talked about this whole relationship thing and how we have become burdened by having too many choices. Now, I'm not a world-famous traveling comedian, but dammit if I don't have choices. In fact, in talking to a close friend recently, she called me spoiled. (Yes, my friends will call me out on my crap, and I'm thankful.) I'm used to certain things and men being a certain way. My parents have also mentioned this, so at this point, there's some merit to it. To be clear, spoiled in my case is about being head-strong and generally unimpressed. So, the "partner must-haves" to work with this need to be listed. SEE: Patient AF.
Some ladies don't need lists. ALSO, the list does not mean your husband will materialize next week, that you want one, or that you are now obligated to find this man. I don't plan to change a damn thing. What I do know, is that if/when he appears I'll know it. And not for some whack-ass, "he looked in my eyes and I knew reasons," but some real "I will dance battle you in this Target woman!" reasons. Because that's what my life is about.

And yet again, another countdown is on to summer's end. While the retail world has been all over it for over a month already, panic is setting in for many students and summer flex-time working adults. At my house, there is much lamenting about "not having done enough yet" and "where the time has gone." This mom better get crackin'!
As we prepare for the transition from carefree summer lifestyles to back to school/back to regular work hours, let's keep our health in mind! Here are three areas that deserve our attention:
Sleep schedules: Considering that health experts encourage 9-10 hours of sleep for children and teens, and 8 hours for adults, our summer schedule of going to bed later just won't cut it. A gradual (1/2-hour per week) approach to getting to bed earlier is encouraged, so this needs our attention now!
Healthy foods: Plan your strategy and stock up on good options for school and work lunches (if yours is in need of improvement). Suggestions include dried fruit, low-fat string cheese, yogurt, trail mix, celery/peanut butter, roasted coconut chips, nuts, roasted seaweed snack, pita/flatbread crisps, hummus and salsa.
Frame of mind: Pep talks may be in order here; even if we have to give them to ourselves! It's great to work through transition with a positive attitude and outlook, and realistic expectations. We need to pay attention to mental health issues, just as we would the physical ones!
Moving on to this month's content, our writers have some great articles to further our healthy living efforts. Alanna Medearis reminds us of the importance of developing genuine connections with others and with nature in this technology- and multitasking-obsessed world. Carrie Kaiser encourages us to find the diet that "fits" with the unique physiology we each have. Ryan Jennings informs us about the need to combine strength training with endurance training for maximum results. And there's much more to learn, so please read on!
Here's to a smooth, healthy transition into your end-of-summer schedule!
In health and happiness,

Yung Ayee and ILL Hearted Music Group
One of the most exciting new talents to hit the streets for many years, Yung Ayee is storming his way into the Midwest hip hop scene with all the ingredients needed to take on not just the Indie community but the entire music world where it hurts!
Many are touting Yung Ayee as the next big thing to happen to hip hop and rap and comparisons have been drawn with some of the biggest names in the industry, such as Pusha T, Big Sean and Rick Ross. In fact, we are told that he is the next challenger to the 'throne' and to forget all the other followers and pretenders because he is the real deal, a potential new king of the airwaves! Indeed, Yung Ayee's latest single 'Go For What You Know', released on 8 August 2013, immediately started making waves across the internet and even onto some FM markets and college radio stations.
Yung Ayee has loved his music all his life, and been creating and even performing it for almost as long. He was born Shajuan Butler in St Louis, Missouri, on 29 December 1990, and almost from the moment he could walk he loved the hip hop and rap music his older brother Sterling was always playing around the house. He was very young when he started writing his own raps, improving and perfecting them for many years until he started performing them at just 13 years old. He continued to write and freestyle throughout his time as a teenager and in 2004 his brother, now Sterling "The Reason" Butler, signed him on to the record label he had started with in-house producer David "Duke Lamarr" Johnson, Street Team Entertainments, under the stage name "Yung Ayee".
Although in 2010 he went to Greenville University, Illinois, on a basketball scholarship, he very soon dropped out in order to concentrate on his music. On his return from college he fell out with his parents and as a result found himself homeless, but he says the eight months this lasted gave him time and motivation to continue working on improving his craft.
The release of 'Go For What You Want' was the springboard that launched his meteoric rise, with a number of high profile performances soon after and invitations to do opening slots for major artists such as Chingy, Murphy Lee, Caskey, Fresco Kayne and more. A free style series called "The Boy Got Bars" followed, which was shown on Street Team Entertainment's YouTube channel (StreetTeamTv314) and website.
His publicist Derrick "Retro Jordon" Jackson was quoted as saying he'd warned the 'non-believers' that 'Yung Ayee' was poised to take over the scene, but lamented that his words had "obviously fallen 'on deaf ears' - and now here he is, Street Team's flagship artist and just released his first solo mixtape, the highly anticipated "The Renovation".
Yung Ayee ability to create many types of songs from club bangers to street songs means that "The Renovation", which includes the single "Go For What You Want", is not going to disappoint either his long-term loyal fans or the many new ones that are going to be drawn in when they hear this new release by one of the most versatile and dynamic young lyricists to hit the scene for many years. All this time he continued to put together his catalog of songs with lyrics that he says are based on real life experiences and party life
Describing himself as motivated, dedicated and, of course, 100 percent committed, Yung Ayee is poised to throw off his humble beginnings back in St Louis and take on the world – or maybe that should be take over the world with his thumping beats and impeccable flow.
Yung Ayee's Jacking for Beat's mixtape will be coming soon to a city near you! While using true hiphop tracks like Jay Z"s ft Eminem "Renegade" and Tupac's Hail Mary this will not be the Yung Ayee most fan are used to.
He will be exercersing his lyrical ability on this one folk's, gearing up to his offical album #DTLC DEEP THOUGHTS LONG CONVERSATIONS!
Yung Ayee's new promo video to Pusha T's "Crutches Crosses Caskets" IS HERE CHECK THE VIDEO SECTION NOW!!!!
Yung Ayee is pre paring his debut album " Ill Hearted " Featuring Single " Good " & " Not Enough "
Yung Ayee has found new backing from "Ill Hearted Music Group"
As of 08/19/2017 The J'Cole " January 28th " remix reached 25 Thousand Views.

I just love my Floral Explosion. It works perfect. It works so well in the bedroom so it matches all the sheets and bedspreads. Now shipping and waiting and waiting for this print. I think it was two months before I got it. The said a sofa size takes a lot longer. Not the 2-3 day. Try 2 to 3 months. I so want three others but I won't give them my money and shipping takes forever

This is my favorite painting and I waited 6 years to finally purchase. I spent extra in order to have oil paint added in order to have a 3D effect and that was not what showed up at my home. It was very unfortunate. I still love the painting but it wasn't what I wanted and haven't had the heart to hang it in my home yet.

Q: Our house roof drains on our garage roof. Is this common and is it ok to do this?
A: I see this all the time. Builders are still doing this on new builds but I don't recommend it. I can show you multiple examples of a roof that is otherwise in good condition but has a section under a downspout that has been ruined by the added water of an upper roof hitting it. In a heavy rain you can see the water pounding onto the lower roof. It is not surprising that this added water will shorten the life of the shingles. I often walk all over a roof and find an area that has only a couple years of life left while the rest of the roof would likely be fine for at least another ten years. To me it's clear that draining an upper roof onto a lower roof is a bad idea.
Q: We are deciding upon which shingles we should buy for our roof. Do you have any suggestions?
A: From experience I would say you need to have shingles that are wind resistant in this part of the prairies. Just a few weeks ago we had winds in excess of 100 km per hour. An un-tarred 3-tab shingle will often blow off in such high winds. Architectural shingles seem to be better designed and seem to hold up better to the wind. Shingle manufacturers rate their product for normal use and I believe under normal circumstances they do live up to that rating. The problem is in the installation in my opinion. Installers and homeowners sometimes rush and miss a nail or two and that is all that is needed to create a problem. I have always tarred every tab when installing shingles. This process takes time and would not be possible in the winter. If possible I recommend adding tar to hold the shingles better as this alone will increase the longevity of the shingles.
It is that time of year we all wait for, an end to winter. With the cold weather disappearance it is also a time for other problems to show up, In the case of today's topic – Leaking ceilings.
You will notice I didn't say leaking roofs as a leak in a ceiling could be more than just a leaking roof. There are three primary reasons you may see water dripping from your ceiling in the spring or in the warm spells in the winter.
- Ice damming is the primary cause of roof leaks in the winter when ice is formed on the roof and eventually leaks into the ceiling of the home. Major factors in ice damming include ;
- Cold weather
- Snow loads on the roof
- Lack of insulation and or vapor barrier.
- Inadequate ventilation of the attic.
- Attic frost is the second most common cause of leaking ceilings in the Midwest. Factors that contribute to frost in the attic include;
- improperly vented bathroom vents
- large openings in the ceiling structure which allow warm air into the attic
- blocked or improperly insulated vent lines
- lack of insulation
- lack of ventilation
- 3. Blown snow in the attic is the least likely cause of leaks but I do see it from time to time. The most common issues that cause snow to enter the attic is;
- Swirling snow on the roof which enters the roof vents
- Wind driven snow which gets into the fins of the turbines of the whirly birds
- Snow coming in through the gable and ridge vents.
Ok now that we know what the causes are of the leaks we need to discuss why the ceilings eventually leak. Most people have the misconception that insulation stops heat loss so the more insulation the better. This is not quite right. First of all insulation is meant to slow the rate of heat loss, not eliminate it. This means if we add heat to a room for 15 minutes for example it will make that room comfortable for an hour let's say. The heat loss is primarily up through the ceilings as heat rises. In this case the type of heat loss is through conduction. If someone opens a door then the heat loss would be through convection. Radiation is the last type of heat transfer that plays more of a roll in the problems we see above the ceiling. Radiation is primarily from the sun.
Here is generally how the insulation and ventilation all works or doesn't work together to keep your home healthy and dry. Older homes primarily will have issues with ice damming while newer homes will have more issues with frost forming in the attic. Older homes did not value air tightness and attic ventilation as much as we do today. For instance older homes did not use vapor barrier and many of the homes did not have any soffit vents. Some older homes did not have any eaves at all so adding soffit vents is impossible in that case. The heat in a room in the winter months is usually around 20 degrees while the outside temperature is – 20 or colder. This means the heat in the room is moving up through the insulation until it reaches the cold attic space. In a properly insulated and ventilated attic the warm air mixes with the cold (-20) attic air and eventually is pushed or pulled out of the attic harmlessly. The problem is that sometimes the warm air is not mixing with enough cold attic air above the insulation before it touches the sheathing on the roof. Now the heat energy in the warm air is being transferred to the roof sheathing (wood) where it in turn moves up into the snow above the roof.
Ice damming is now beginning to form on top of the shingles. As the warm air melts the snow on the roof it starts to run down toward the eave where it meets the outside wall. At this point the water freezes because there is no longer a source of heat feeding the melting process. Each time there is excessive heat loss up through the insulation and the weather conditions are just right you will get more melting. If there is a large buildup of snow on the roof it will act to insulate the heat in and encourage more melting. Now the ice at the eaves gets thicker until it is 4 – 10" thick and large ice cycles will also hang off the eaves. This big chunk of ice at the eave is now acting like a water dam for more melt water that is running down the roof. When the dam is high enough the water behind the dam is high enough to run up under the shingles above it. Next thing you know you have water running in through your ceiling.
Now that you understand ice damming you should know that there are several ways to prevent ice damming. I will assume you have done all you can with the insulation, vapor barrier and ventilation at this point. Once the home is experiencing ice damming it is a bit late to think about adding ice and water shield under the shingles and vapor barrier under the drywall. The suggestions below are ways to deal with ice damming from the outside.
- The easiest thing you can do is pull the snow off the roof near the eaves so it loses its R-value and reduces the rate of melting on the roof. Be careful doing this.
- Another approach is to try to melt the ice that has already formed at the eaves. The critical part is to provide a path for the water to follow off the edge of the roof. One approach is to use heat tape that can melt the ice. Another way is to use calcium or salt to melt it. I have seen some people use a nylon stocking full if road salt to melt a path through the dam but I don't know how well that would work.
Newer homes with leaking ceilings are generally a result of poor ventilation and not because of vapor barrier or insulation although both those things can contribute to the problem of frost. The problem of frost is very similar to ice damming in that heat enters the attic from the warm conditioned space inside the home. The heat rises up until it reaches the sheathing and forms frost. Improperly vented bath fans are a usual problem here as the warm moist air from a shower will add a lot of frost in the attic. Another possible cause of frost on the attic sheathing is extreme fluctuations in outside temperatures. This is something that is impossible to control and usually will not cause any problems inside the home. Visit this site as well for a great article on Ice damming.
I noticed my bathroom vent is venting into the attic space. I was told this is not good can you explain?
Adding warm moist air into a cold attic is not a good idea as the change in temperature causes the air to condense when it reaches its dew point. This condensation can accumulate on surfaces and cause rot or enough moisture to form running water that will run onto the ceiling or down the walls. Of course once the ceiling or wall materials are damp you may face a mold problem. It is best to vent all fans out through the gable ends or through the roof. Be sure to use insulated vent lines. These photos show what can happen to the sheathing if warm moist air hits the sheathing. This roof was very spongy and almost at the point that would require re-roofing the area.
Whats wrong with my eaves troughs?
How do trees affect my roof?
Why is my roof sagging?
Why do I have Moss on my roof?
My shingles are not that old but they are curling. What causes shingles to cup and curl?
I have seen shingles that curl due to a manufacturers defect but most often the problem is due to an overheated attic space. I have been in attics that are over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. When the attic is poorly ventilated it creates an air trap and acts more like an oven then an attic. As a result the shingles may cup and curl. You might also find shingles that have alligatoring or severe cracks. From my experience I believe the three tabbed shingles are more likely to deform due to the heat described above. Best advice is to add vents in the soffits gables and roof to promote air entry and exit.
My home has asphalt shingles. I've been told I should check the shingles for potential leaks, how should I do that?
First of all anytime you plan to get off the ground be prepared and don't work alone if possible. On a low slope roof I generally climb on the roof if possible. Getting a top view of the shingles and roof penetrations is best but if you are afraid of heights you should stay on the ground. Here is how I would do it. Start on the ridge and work toward the eaves looking for missing shingles. I also look for open or improper flashings which are likely to leak. Cupped or curled shingles are a sign of problems as well. There may be loose rocks on the roof near the eaves as a result of ice damming which makes the roof very slippery so be careful. If the eaves troughs contain a lot of rock from the shingles you know that the shingles are failing. Overall the entire roof should look the same. For the inexperienced I suggest looking for areas that are different. Usually a roof will fail in certain areas such as the south side first. If something doesn't

READING, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwired - October 20, 2016) - Lynx Software Technologies will be presenting its software based solutions for securing the connected vehicle as a Co-Sponsor at TU Automotive Europe, 2-3 November in Munich.
Commenting, Robert Day, vice president of marketing at Lynx said, "LynxSecure is an ideal platform for securing next generation automotive electronic architectures. Typical applications for LynxSecure include the consolidation, integration and virtualization of ECUs and central processing on Domain Controllers and ADAS Controllers. When combined with LSA.connect (the bare-metal data-in-motion encryption), LynxSecure provides a secure foundation for enabling dynamic content and firmware-over-the-air (FOTA) software updates. Using these proven technologies, Lynx can deliver solutions that address the challenges involved in developing the next generation of connected and autonomous vehicles."
The LynxSecure Separation Kernel Hypervisor is a unique software platform which supports the next generation of vehicle electronic architectures,and applications including Connected and Autonomous Driving, ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), and IVI (In-Vehicle Infotainment). The core of LynxSecure is a military-grade high assurance separation kernel that hosts isolated domains, each containing a separate virtualization stack to allow operating systems and applications to run in their own secure environments on a single hardware platform. LynxSecure supports an extensive range of environments, including non-real-time OSes (such as Android and Linux), proprietary RTOSes, AUTOSAR kernels, and bare-metal applications. LynxSecure enforces safe and secure separation of mixed criticality applications and components and is suitable for hosting safety critical applications up to ISO 26262 ASIL D. With a tiny trusted code-base, LynxSecure provides automotive systems with the protection they need by reducing the attack surface exploitable by malicious agents to an absolute minimum.
LSA.connect is a secure network encryption component built using bare-metal LynxSecure Applications (LSAs). In its simplest configuration, LSA.connect can be used to encrypt network traffic without exposing a large attack surface to malicious agents by housing the network encryption algorithms in their own secure domain, away from both the operating system connected to the internet and the encryption keys themselves. LSA.connect is also able to support multiple isolated communication domains by implementing dedicated secure encryption tunnels over a single physical network connection.

When a loved one is deployed, we're full of wishes: that he'll be safe, that she'll be home soon, that the children will adjust to the separation. A wishing tree offers a concrete reminder of the person who is away, while providing a place to collect wishes, hopes, and prayers.
It's easy to create a wishing tree for your own home, classroom, family assistance center, church, or business. Use some of these ideas or get creative on your own.
Miniature Wishing Tree
1. Select a small tree or plant (artificial or real) or use branches supported by florist foam.
2. Cut lengths of ribbon.
3. Using a fabric pen, write your wishes on the ribbons and tie them to the branches.
Bulletin Board Wishing Tree
1. Hang a bulletin board, cork board, or heavyweight poster board on a wall.
2. Cut out a bare tree with several long branches using construction paper or flannel. Tack, tape, or staple your tree to the bulletin board.
3. Cut out "wishing leaves" made of ribbon, paper, flannel, or faux leaves or fruit, in any shape (leaves, ribbons, hearts, stars, ornaments, etc). The leaves can be flat or three-dimensional or have flaps to cover/reveal the wishes.
4. Have family members, students, or other participants write wishes, hopes, and prayers on the wishing leaves and tack to the tree.
Box of Wishes
1. Select a box with a lid. Cut an opening in the box top or use a lid that lifts off.
2. Decorate the box with photos of a person you are wishing for.
3. Write wishes on small pieces of paper or paper leaves and put into the box.
Jar of Wishes
1. Choose a large clear container with an easy on/off lid, such as a large pickle jar or candy jar.
2. Decorate the jar with permanent marker, paint, or pasted paper or leave the jar clear if you want to see the wishes.
3. Cut out colorful ribbons, paper leaves, stars, hearts, and other shapes and write on your wishes.
4. Put the wishes in the jar by color or material type to create a pattern, or randomly for a colorful display of wishes.
Wishing Tree Placemats
1. Color a picture of a tree onto a large piece of paper slightly smaller than the placemat you want to make. Include leaves on the tree. Include photos of your family around the tree.
2. Laminate the paper, leaving an edge around the paper for the lamination to adhere to itself.
3. For reusable wishing tree placemats, use dry erase markers or other wipe-off crayons or markers to write wishes on the leaves. Write new wishes at each meal.
Styrofoam Wishing Tree
1. Begin with a Styrofoam cone, with the flat edge down. Spray paint or decorate the cone.
2. Write wishes on ribbons or paper leaves and affix to tree with pins or pipe cleaners.
Holiday Wishing Tree
1. Using your normal holiday tree, write wishes on ribbons, paper ornaments, or other crafts and decorate with your wishes and hopes for others.
2. Create a giving tree, decorating with wishes from others in need. Encourage everyone to select a wish from the tree and make it come true!

Totalitarianism leaves its mark on a population in many ways, some quite small.
For example, today I taught my second TEFL class. The only student was a lovely woman older than 60. She is mostly self-taught in English, she said, and had had very little practice speaking it. She was quite good at it and her intelligence shined through in her quick pickup of corrections and analysis of the texts we were studying.
After the class, the moderator, a young Czech woman maybe in her late 20s (it's hard to tell how old people are over here), the woman and I discussed learning languages. Turns out my 'student' already spoke some German and needed English from time to time in her job.
Her job? A masterpiece of bureaucratic nightmares – she devised labels (probably listing ingredients, quantities, and countries of origin) for various kinds of packaged foods. The labels had to conform to European Union regulations. The companies risked massive fines if they did not comply with the regulations. They also would have had to throw out all the offending labels.
At some point, either before or after doing this compliance work – she still has some difficulty with verb tenses – she also worked for the Czech Ministry of Health, where in addition to those labeling requirements, she was responsible for nutrition information.
As we talked about learning languages, my student mentioned that when the Russians were ruling Czechoslovakia, as it was known then, all of the citizens were forced to learn Russian. With a delicate shrug and mild, smiling grimace, she said they all hated learning Russian.
Just think 20+ years ago, and the memory is still fresh.
Since she was born after WW II, she had no memories of the Nazi occupation. Interestingly, I haven't seen any memorials relating to the Second World War, except an extension to a list of names of the dead from the First World War chiseled into marble tablets in a church in a small suburb of Prague.
On my way back to the apartment, a group of English speakers got on my tram. Several were Americans. One man was talking about his daughter who was living and working in St. Petersburg. She told him the city had been built to emulate Paris – with lovely views, beautiful buildings from the early 18th century, and graceful gardens.
When the Communists came to power in 1917-1920, they immediately began to put up huge, ugly, gray buildings, deliberately blocking the lovely views. I've posted about this ugly building phenomenon in earlier notes about Warsaw.
It's clear they did it in Prague as well. The Czechs seem to have masked as much of the ugliness as they could with colorful plaster and stucco decorations.
Now, it's true that the mid-1900s were not a highlight of beauty in buildings anywhere in the world. But some countries during that time as well as the clunky 1900s, Italy comes to mind, managed to aim for ugly … and miss.
More tomorrow. My 'student' said she'd come to our next class this Thursday. The classes are free to give us practice teaching, but when the weather is fine, it's hard to snare any willing students.

HOURS: The fair will run from 10:00am through 4:00 pm on Friday and Saturday. You will be expected to leave your booth up BOTH days until closing.
SETUP TIME: The building will be open by 7:00 a.m. on Friday for set-up. Early Set-Up can be purchased at time of application. The building will not be ready for you before that time, as we have to mark off spaces and get the tables in place. Please come to the table outside the front door of the building to check in and locate your space. Please be ready for customers when the doors open at 10:00. We will open it for you at 8:00 on Saturday morning, with the show starting at 10.
PARKING: You may park near the front or the back doors while unloading--then please MOVE YOUR CAR as far from the building as possible in order to provide parking for customers! This is very important—vendors who do not cooperate in moving cars will not be invited back next year! If vendors park in front of the building or fill up the parking lot, you will lose customers!
INSIDE SECURITY: While neither the sponsors of the show nor San Luis Obispo County (which owns the building) will be held liable for loss of your property, this is a very secure building and we have had no problems in the past.
OUTSIDE AREA: Those setting up outside should follow the same guidelines for setup on Friday morning and take down on Saturday evening as those inside. However, no security will be provided for these outside spaces and you will need to take down Friday night and set up again Saturday morning. If you decide to leave your setup, you may do so at your own risk! If you are using tables from the Vets Building, you must place them inside before the building is locked at 4:30pm on Friday.
TAKE-DOWN AND CLEANUP: We will appreciate your cooperation in taking down your booth as soon after 4:00 on Saturday as possible, but not before—please do not start packing up before 4:00! Bring enough help to have all items out by 5:30, as we must clean and be out by 6:00! Please help us by leaving your area CLEAN--all trash removed and spots on floor wiped up--chairs returned to racks.
DISPLAY OF WARES: Each inside space in the main hall is approximately 10' wide x 8' deep. Spaces in the lobby are about 10' wide by 6' deep. Outside spaces are 10' wide by 10' deep or more. You may arrange your tables however you wish within your space. You will be expected to provide all tables, etc., except for those tables you have reserved. In most cases, there is room for two of the 8' tables within your space. If you wish to make a U-shape, you will need to use a shorter table between two 8' tables. There will be no partitions provided between spaces. Chairs will be available for your use at no charge as long as you put them away at the end of the fair. Please let us know immediately if you have special needs, such as electrical outlets, if you did not indicate this on your reservation form. If you are using electricity, please bring extension cords and duct tape to cover the cords!
SPACE LOCATION: Exact location of spaces will not be finalized until a few days before the show, as we attempt to provide the best possible location for each participant based on the type of their wares.
BOUTIQUE participants will receive special setup information.. This area will have a central cashier. The rest of the show will consist of individual spaces manned by the vendors.
HANDCRAFTED: We require that merchandise be handcrafted by the seller. NO COMMERCIAL ITEMS!!! Customers expect this and are disappointed if they find booths with other types of merchandise. We reserve the right to ask you to remove items we consider unacceptable. All items for sale in the booth, must have been listed on your application.SALES TAX. Vendors must have a Sellers Permit from the California State Board of Equalization. If you do not already have a permit, you may obtain one from the Board of Equalization by calling their office in Bakersfield—661-334-2880—or the office nearest you. Applications are also available on the Internet. You are responsible for handling your own sales tax--you may add it to individual sales or charge a round figure and pay tax later on total sales.
CHANGE: Please remember to bring plenty of change for your booth!
FOOD: A food concession and barbecue will be operating outside all day for you and the customers. Any other food sold must have prior approval and be packaged. Please do not take food or drinks into the main room with the hardwood floor.
ADVERTISING: We will be advertising county-wide in November through the newspapers, radio, signs, posters and flyers. We will also be mailing cards to our mailing list of those who attended the last two years. You will want to spread the word through your acquaintances and organizations. Enclosed are some flyers to post or hand out—and a master if you wish to make additional copies. Remember--a successful fair depends on ALL of us!
DOOR PRIZES: We will again be asking vendors to donate door prizes from your wares. These should be marked with either your business card or a card listing any information you would like the recipient to know. We will have a table for you to bring your door prizes AFTER you get set up. (This will probably be in the hallway again.) We plan to draw every 20 min. This has been very successful--the customers like it, it creates good will, and it provides us with the mailing list for customers!
CHILDREN: Do yourself and other vendors a favor—don't bring small children with you to the fair. It is too difficult to man your booth and watch over them at the same time. Our past experience is that children get bored easily and cause a disruption to customers and other vendors.
GETTING TO THE FAIR: From Northbound 101, take Grand Avenue exit, right on Grand. Vets Building is a few blocks on your right! From Southbound 101, take first SLO exit (Monterey). Turn left over freeway, right onto Monterey. Short distance to Grand--turn right. Note the small map on the enclosed flyers!
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: We have tried to think of most of the things you will need to know, but in case we have not answered all your questions, do not hesitate to call!

The 2018 theme for Multicultural Health Week is health literacy and CALD communities.
What is health literacy?
Health literacy is a critical element to enable people to exert control over their health and their health care.
Health literacy has been defined as, "a means to enabling individuals to exert greater control over their health and the range of personal, social and environmental determinants of health"[1].
This includes the ability of a person to understand essential health information that is required for them to successfully make use of all elements of the health system (preventive, diagnostic, curative and palliative services).[2]
The Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care separates health literacy into two components:
· Individual health literacy and the
· Health literacy environment.
Individual health literacy is the skills, knowledge, motivation and capacity of a consumer to access, understand, appraise and apply information to make effective decisions about health and health care, and take appropriate action.
The health literacy environment is the infrastructure, policies, processes, materials, people and relationships that make up the healthcare system, which affect the ways in which consumers access, understand, appraise and apply health-related information and services.[3]
Nutbeam's model of health literacy[4],[5] goes one step further, breaking individual health literacy into three levels:
· Functional health literacy: this includes basic reading, writing and literacy skills, as well as the knowledge of health conditions and health systems
· Interactive health literacy: this includes communicative and social skills that can be used to derive meaning from different forms of communication, and to apply new information to changing circumstances
· Critical health literacy: this includes higher level cognitive skills and social skills required to critically analyse information, and to use this information to exert greater control over life events and situations through individual and collective action to address the social, economic and environmental determinants of health.
Why is health literacy important?
"Health literacy lies at the heart of a person being able to take control of their own health care through making informed health decisions, seeking appropriate and timely care and managing the processes of illness and wellness."[6]
Health information can be complex, technical or complicated vocabulary and ambiguous. Information can often be difficult to obtain and read, let alone comprehend. When the stressors of caring for a loved one or oneself are added to the need to navigate the health system, people can feel alone, confused and distraught.
Research has clearly linked directly and indirectly low levels of health literacy a with poorer health outcomes, poor health care utilization, increased barriers to care and early death around the world [2][3],[4],[5],[6],[7]. Further more, it has been suggested that increasing health literacy is likely to reduce health costs through the prevention of illness and chronic disease and have additional broader impacts through the labour market[8].

By September, the first of about 285 families will be moving from Baltimore poverty areas into neighborhoods of their choice under an experimental federal program aimed at broadening housing choices for low-income people.
Moving to Opportunity, or MTO, is called a "demonstration" by the sponsoring U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. It is intended to uplift low-income families by helping them to move into neighborhoods with quality schools, better living conditions and job opportunities.
Baltimore is one of four cities nationally that won a competition involving 16 cities seeking federal funds for the five-year program. The others are Boston, Chicago and New York. Los Angeles was mandated by HUD to be part of the program, and did not compete. About 6,200 families will be involved nationally.

Homeless People are Problem People
The common media would have us feel sorry for homeless people. If you Google news "homeless", you'll see all sorts of 'Boo Hoo' stories about this 'problem' called homelessness. The problem? Is homelessness in itself a problem or it is just a collection of 'problem people' (people with severe problems) that make up the collective problem of homelessness. I think the latter.
Consider the the homeless man who stabbed a woman to death, the homeless man who used the church phone for a sex line, the homeless cop killer, the homeless brutal rapist, And of course, the homeless sex offenders. These are just a few recent stories.
It's true that you can take any group of people and find criminal elements among them. However, homeless people have at least their share. Even the famous "homeless guy" Kevin Barbieux, admits that most homeless people have some form of dehabilitating and/or sociopathic mental illness. So homeless people are not necessarily going to be docile and harmless.
At the same time, the 'problem' is not going away any time soon. Most so called solutions try to fix the problem from the outside (more housing, housing vouchers, free meals, etc) rather than from the inside (helping to fix the 'problem people' by getting them to become self sufficient).
