Hey guys! Well, I can tell about myself that I'm a purcchases manager for a company in Spain, but in my free time I play games (lately only Portal/Portal2) and this last year, around October or so, I started mapping for Portal2. The result is that I'm currrently spending more time mapping than playing! But I think mapping is the same or even more funny than playing! I'm happy with the result so far, and this result will be released in just a few months: The Enceladus Initiative... Stay tuned!!

Struts is already the most popular web application development framework and there are tons of applications around, built on top of it. Introduction of portlet as a new web development mechanism has created porting challenge for existing applications. Not all applications are easy to port to portlet framework. But most of the popular framework especially Struts has many bridges already developed to instantly port existing Struts applications to portlet framework. Framework bridges are portal server dependant but nearly all portals now have bridge for Struts.
Following article by Masoud Omidvar is good starting article, if you want to port your existing web applications built using Struts to eXo Portal. Here is the link -
Omidvar, hope to see more posts on your blog in future.

Mapping LDAP Attributes into the User Object
In WebSphere Portal, user object provides some LDAP information of the user. But the user object doesn't provide all the information available in the directory. In case, you want to fetch that missing information from LDAP directory, there are some tweaking you will have to do. Here is the article that can help in achieving that.

Enterprise Portal Trends
Enterprise Portal Market Research - Part I
I am out of it for quite a while now. I was busy in doing some market research pertaining to enterprise portals. So in last few days, I found some interesting facts, and probably that will be the basis of my upcoming posts. I started with identifying contemporary portal trends. I found following trends in portal marketplace -
- Convergence of portals from aggregators to integrators
- Smart Applications suites vendors and Applications platform suites vendors competing for market share
- Adoption of Portal-related standards among vendors offering interoperability
- Emergence of open source portals as strong contenders
- Adoption of the portal as a core-computing platform
- Aperture of portlet Marketplace
I am sure few portal experts will be reading this entry too. So I'll be more than happy by getting their opinion.

How to implement WSRP consumer or producer?
It is often asked in our WSRP discussion forum, how to implement WSRP consumer or producer. WSRP specifications are new and there are not many resources available. WSRP specifications are there but are too complicated to be used as base document for WSRP implementation. Also no technical details and 'how to' instructions are available inside the specifications. Another solution is to check the WSRP primer by OASIS available at http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/9002/wsrp-primer-1.0-draft-0.9.pdf. Though it is in the draft stage, still it can be more useful than the specifications.
The best solution right now seems to read existing implementations. For java, there is already good implementation available in the form of WSRP4J. One can download the source from CVS and study the code. It can definitely help in implementing WSRP in your product. Open source portals i.e. eXo, uPortal and Gluecode have also implemented WSRP. But most of them have used WSRP4J as their base implementation so one cannot find much useful information inside those codes.
I don't know any similar (open source) implementation available on Microsoft or not. If someone of you has any idea, please leave a comment.

Clickmarks is back
There are only few tools in the market for visual portlets creation. I mentioned in my previous article that this market is hotting-up. There seems good market growth for this segment this year. Seeing the potential of this market, I am sure that we will see some concrete data from Forrester and other research firms.
Yesterday only, Clickmarks has announced it?s tie-up with Sun Microsystems. IBM has already collaboration with Bowstreet, a similar product company (Incidentally the name of both the products are Portlet Factory). I believe that after seeing the successful partnership between IBM and Bowstreet, Sun/Clickmarks didn't have any option. Few days back I heard a rumor that Clickmarks is going to shut it operations but it is a good sign of it's revival. Let us see what will be the end-result of this partnership. You can also check the press release here.
After this partnership, I see one to one competition for the market share. It would be great to see who is going to win - IBM-Bowstreet or Sun-Clickmarks. But in my opinion, IBM & Bowstreet have the advantage of time.

- - filtration for 180g planted
filtration for 180g planted I am looking for filtration suggestions for a 180G planted tank I am planning. Inhabitants will mostly be rainbows, tetras, cories. Ph is 7.2-7.4, KH 5, GH 11. |
if its going to be very dense planted then just get good flow which can be achived with a few powerheads the plants will filkter for you. if you want more info on how this works pm me and ill elaborate on it, |
i wouldnt trust the plants to handle the bio-load. i would sleep better if i had some biological and mechanical filtration going on. |
well if you dont want to belive the scientific data that plants are excellent at filtering your tank then i would get a ehim can those are the best out there and are highly reliable. |
its not that i dont believe. i dont know if i would have enough plants to handle the load. |
ah ok then yes get a nice high gph can filter i still stand by ehim as IMHO they are the best out there. |
what kinda GPH am i looking for? |
I would do a stump...... or two large canisters with 300+ GPH. I like to stock heavily though..... with a heavily planted tank you could get away with just the one canister and use some power heads for additional water movement. El Natural is a neat and soild method, some of us though can't stock light enough for that to work;-) |
Pers I'd get a Eheim canister on to this tank, being a 180g tank I'd either get the Professional 3 series, Model 2075 or from the Professional 2 series the 2028 or 2128- Pending availability locally and price. Eheim won't fail you at this size tank, they're good quality and quiet filtration and if need be after several years of wear&tear you can still get their replacement parts easy. |
ok what type of media would i be looking to use. i would think biological and mechanical. (ceramic rings and sponge)? would a polisher be helpful in a planted tank? Eheim stuff is kinda pricey. what mfg would be next down on the list? |

2011 Panini Limited Baseball, HIT DRAFT BREAK!
I am finally doing another group break!
I figured since baseball season is about to start, I would come back with a baseball group break. The product will be a 15 box case of 2011 Panini Limited. -This will be a 48 slot [B]Hit DRAFT[/B]. After the slots have been paid for, a MOD will random the list of participants 5 times to determine the hit order. 1st slot holder gets the 1st pick of all the hits, 2nd slot holder gets the 2nd pick of the remaining hits and so on until the draft has ended. [B][I[U]]DRAFT RULES:[/U] -After the break, the draft can begin as soon as the 1st pick is made. -The draft clock will not start until the day after the break. -The draft will take place between 10am-10pm, with 1 hour draft windows for the individual to make their pick. -If a participant fails to make their pick, an auto pick will be given to them from myself, based off of best value/card available. -Please send me a list of your hit rankings if you think you cannot be there to make your pick, that makes it easier on everyone in the break.[/I][/B] -The deadline for any sells/trades is 30 minutes before the break, any transactions after the cutoff time will not be confirmed by me unless previous contact has been made with me to let me know. Slot Cost Breakdown: $1500 for a 15 box case/48 slots= $31.25 (will be adjusted if we can get a discount) + 3 for shipping w/DC and supplies + $1.30 for paypal fees Total= $35.55 [B]1st spot= $35.50 each additional spot= $34.5[/B] [U][B]What items are up for draft?[/B][/U] - there are 3 hits per box and there are 15 boxes in the case so there will be 45 hits total. Then there will be 3 slots for base/inserts/parallels for every 5 boxes so 3 separate slots for non-hits for boxes 1-5, 6-10, and 11-15. -comes out to a total of 48 slots. product info can be found here: [url=http://www.blowoutcards.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_2&products_id=6670]2011 Panini Limited Baseball Hobby 15 Box Case - $1,500.00 : Blowout Cards - Sports Cards and Trading Cards Wholesale Online Store[/url] Assuming this fills up before the release date, payment deadline will be [B][U]WHENEVER IT FILLS[/U][/B].

Sugar Falls on Ample Supplies; Cotton Slides; Coffee,Cocoa Gain
Oliver RenickSugar slid on a report that a global surplus will be larger than expected, partly because of more production in Brazil, the world's largest grower. Cotton also dropped, while coffee, cocoa and orange juice advanced.
The global surplus for the 12 months started Oct. 1 will be 38 percent larger than estimated in November, the International Sugar Organization said today. Brazilian millers will produce 40.3 million tons of the sweetener, compared with 35.2 million a year earlier, according to the report. Prices in New York dropped to 17.67 cents a pound on Feb. 15, the lowest since August 2010.
"Anytime you see talk about bigger world supplies it reminds everyone why it got to 18 cents in the first place," Jack Scoville, vice president at Chicago-based Price Futures Group Inc. said in a telephone interview. "There's some reactionary sell-out."
Raw-sugar futures for delivery in May dropped 1.3 percent to settle at 17.9 cents at 2:00 p.m. on ICE Futures U.S. in New York. Prices are down 8.3 percent this year.
Also on ICE, cotton futures for May delivery slumped 1.5 percent to 83.23 cents a pound, the first loss in a week.
Arabica-coffee futures for May delivery gained 0.1 percent to $1.4175 a pound in New York.
Also on ICE, cocoa futures for delivery in May advanced 0.9 percent to $2,133 a metric ton, the first increase since Feb. 7. Orange-juice futures for delivery in May added 1.9 percent to $1.289 a pound, the biggest gain since Feb. 12.

Link to Pallet Wood in the Bathroom
When we bought this house, it was move-in ready. Ha! We spent the next seven years getting it 'ready' for the life we live in it....

Pallet Wood Front Porch
142 comments:
Well done! Can we get a photo of the front with the railing? This would be great for my backyard which has ugly broken concrete.
ReplyDeleteNice that you have documented this also in your post. I remember this well because at the same time you shared these by e-mail, we were discussing about wind chimes! I saw them there. Does Bill bill you for the work he does for you? :)
ReplyDeleteRepliesI did not hit the right button to 'reply,' so I'm not sure you got notice that I replied, all those months ago. I did reply, though, but not the right way, apparently. So sorry. Please read the comments I did make about your comments. Thanks.
DeleteVery nice, we made a floor for my Gazebo out of pallets, it looks good!!
Thanks, Monika, for your kind words. I added another photo - this time from the front, sort of! If that doesn't serve your purposes, I can insert another, more recent pic.....
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous idea and what a fabulous look! Clever and recycling! What is better than that? (I'm a supervisor too. I'm good at it. LOL)
ReplyDeleteRepliesOh, yes! Supervising is hard work! I find that if one starts a directive with 'Honey....' or 'Dear...' things go a lot more smoothly!
It's funny: For some years, we used barn wood and pallet wood, etc, but I never, ever thought of it as recycling. No! I thought of it as 'making-do.' Then someone used the word 'recycling' in re to some of our projects, and suddenly I realized that we were not only having a grand time, but we were being PC, too! Who knew?Now the new PC buzz word is "reclaimed" or the fashionable word is "upcycled".. Ha!! :D Love your project!!!!
DeleteIt's funny: We did so many projects with old reclaimed wood, and never once thought of it as recycling. Not until someone suggested we were doing it as recycling did that occur to me. No, we use(d) old wood because it's . . . . free!!
We are sooooo cheap!
Thanks you for the lovely comments. I appreciate it....
Excellent idea and great job! We have been talking about collecting pallets to make a shed from but this is a great idea also.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michele! Hey did you look at some of my other blog posts? There's a blog entry about our bathroom, for example; we used pallet wood in there too. Let me know if you find anything else you're interested in. Thanks. Did you, by the way, see the blog post about the workshop?
Thanks again.
SusanMust be wood pallets are made differently in different areas. The ones in my area are all shabby and made of rough wood, nothing as thick as the pallets you found :)
ReplyDeleteIndeed... where did you find pallets made of quality wood? I've seen a LOT of pallets in my day and not one of them would I trust not to rot out from under me if used as a porch floor.
ReplyDeleteThanks, everyone!! I'll pass your kind comments onto my dear husband....
Those pallets came from a factory that makes industrial-sized doors, so the pallets have to be sturdy, hence the hard wood. Some of that wood was not familiar to us. We surmised that perhaps some of the wood came from S. America, or even Africa. We have no way of knowing.By the way (PS): Pinterest is awesome. I have to give a plug to that great website. After most of the remodel was done, I decided to blog about some of the projects. (And please note: Take photos of your projects, before during and after. OK? OK? OK?If I hadn't done that, there would have been no blog.....)
Now, where was I? Oh, yes: Pinterest....
After I would finish a blog entry, I would post a link to it on FB, and I sent links in private emails to family and friends, etc. Of course family and friends reacted with, 'Ho, hum, it's only Sue mouthing off again,' and I got little interest from those sources. But I also posted pics to pinterest, and that's what caused people to sit up and take notice. I have had thousands of hits on my blog because of Pinterest, folks...
So please consider blogging about your own projects - I'd love to read about them - and don't forget to post photos to Pinterest.
I'm just sayin'.....
Thanks again. SusanI need to add one more thing . . . because I can!!!!
One of my favorite things about these old-wood projects was watching them come out of the planer as my husband worked on those boards. What a treat!! We never knew what to expect, and it was thrilling to see those old, ratty boards come to life. The grain! The color! Well, you get the idea....
I quit. No, don't try to talk me out of it, I really do quit....at least for now!!!
SueHi there! What a great idea!!!I'm interesting of fixing my back porch but there is a problem!There is no roof on top!Are the pallet's wood gonna have a problem with the rain water etc?
ReplyDeleteRepliesput wood sealer paint or spray on each piece before use to get it all covered. it should be ok then. i want to do this in back of my house and i don't have a roof either. will it work everyone? answer back so we will know. thank to all very much.
DeleteI did not hit the right button to 'reply,' so I'm not sure you got notice that I replied, all those months ago. I did reply, though, but not the right way, apparently. So sorry. Please read the comments I did make about your comments. Thanks.
First of all, I have to say that the pallet wood was free. So our initial investment was small - screws, drill bits (plenty of drill bits because each hole had to be pre-drilled), planer blades, and so on. So that, we were able to invest in plenty of stain, to protect the wood. Secondarily, there are gaps between the boards, so stain ran down the sides of the boards, too, if you see what I mean. They make bathtubs out of wood, actually; with bathtubs, there have to be very closed joints, obviously. But used as decking? I'd say the gaps become important, so the wood can dry between exposures to rain and snow.
And please note that the pallet wood porch we added extends beyond the eaves, so water and snow does get on part of the wood; it has held up fine so far.....Our pallets came from a company that makes huge doors - they use it for shipping and such. So I would ask around at companies that make huge things; maybe they have pallet wood that is also hard wood. This particular company has a deal with their employees: They are allowed to take as much pallet wood as they want to but cannot sell it, cannot make money off of it.....
Yes, most pallets are not made of hard wood, and most pallets, let's face it, are used till they are ratty looking and falling apart. Hope you find some you like....
And please check out the blog entries about the wooden counter tops we installed - those are made from barn wood. And the wood in our bathroom - also a blog entry - is pallet wood. For the counter tops and bathroom floor, we used tung oil to protect it. The dining room/kitchen floors is barn wood protected with polyurethane, also a blog entry....
Hope this helps. Hope you have as much success with these wood projects as we have had...
Susanfulldollar: I hope you find just the right pallets. Or perhaps you could find another source of wood, then share you new idea with the rest of us.....
PS: I email in the Microsoft Outlook format. So I was able to hit 'Reply,' then highlight your message, then right click on it and hit 'Translate' in the drop box. In that way, your wonderful message became readable to me.
Thanks for the comment.....
SusanHi, Kathy!!
Thanks for reading the blog entry about the front porch. We did the porch, oh, about 5 years ago, so it's fun to look back and comment about it all these years later....
Most of the elbow grease was my husband's. I could barely drive one of those screws into that hard wood, so he did most of the drilling and screwing. The ingenuity came into play when I was trying to figure out what to do with all those lovely boards that were piling up in the garage. They were only @ 4 feet long, and of course porch boards would have to be longer. Then it occurred to me (inspiration!!) that we could put the boards together in 3' square units. Once that was decided - to make a sort of checkerboard - the rest fell into place.
Thanks again for your comment, Kathy. I appreciate it......SusanIt doesnt look like wood from wooden pallets. It looks thicker and better quality. Wood pallets are much thinner.. your deck looks quality, like 2x4's. What kind of wood pallets did you get ahold of?
ReplyDeleteHi, Mandylou! The wood is from a factory that moves very heavy objects. I believe the wood we got was used for packaging, shipping, and used within the plant to move large, heavy materials. Hence the hard wood. That's my guess. They were given to us, to I didn't ask many questions. I am just grateful for the wood.....
I know the type pallets you are thinking of - ratty ones that are re-used so often they are a hazard. The ones we got are not re-used more than for one shipping/packing, apparently. Hope this answers your questions.
SusanFor many years I have wanted to build a free standing portable deck out on my lawn and I have always envisioned this deck to be made from wood pallets... A portable patio is the perfect solution for a renter like me as I don't want to invest the money to build something permanent that I would eventually have to move away from.. The trouble is that I no longer have access to the good grade pallets that I used to have access to ... Mmmmm ... This article inspires me to get the lead out and start looking for a good source of pallets ... I would love to hear if anyone has any suggestions as to design .. etc
ReplyDeleteYou and your husband are doing a really great job in updating the old house. The front porch looks simple yet beautiful and unique. The house is looking good; what part of it are you going to work on next?
Barrett ElmoreRepliesI think I missed this comment, when you made it last March, Barrett!
Yes, that is the BIG question around here: What will we get into next!
Here's how it goes around here. This story is illustrative of how things work: After having darkish paint for years in the ping pong room side of the basement, my husband talked me into painting it a lighter shade. So we did that. Then we had to paint the floor, didn't we?! I'd always wanted to paint the trim boards black, so we did that too!
We're just wrapping up another yard-saling season. I mention this because many of our projects involve materials we find at yard sales. Sometimes, too, people off us free stuff - see post titled How To Make a Workshop with Three Telephone Poles and An Old Boot.
Thanks for your comments!

Thanks, Barrett.
That is always the question, isn't it? What fun will we have next? We recently re-painted the basement; that can be seen on my Year in Pictures Blog. I don't know if I can add a link here, but I'll try....
Thanks again for your kind comments. We press on....
PS: Do you do projects, too, that you can share with others?What a great looking porch, Ive been trying to come up with ideas for mine and I think I found it.
ReplyDeleteI hope it works out for you. There comes a time in every project when I ask myself, 'Would I do anything differently if I had it to do over again?' I think I would not put a railing on, for one thing. The law says if the decking is 24 inches off the ground it needs a rail, but ours is not that high. And I think I would stain it a lighter color, too. Just some thoughts. Thanks for your comment. Susan
ReplyDeleteI really like what you did with the floors. The pattern was simple, yet looked great when you implemented it. Being a fan of the natural look, I approve that you used wood stain rather than painting it. For me, if it's outside, gotta use stain. :)
Angelina GarciaThanks, Angelina. To keep the pattern simple, we used a jig to fit the boards together. Each board was cut to size and fit into the jig. That way we were able to get the right size (36") for each of the 18 squares without too much hassle. The boards were all different thicknesses, and without that jig, well, I would've lost my mind!
ReplyDeleteThis is really cool! I work in solid waste management, recycling area for City of Houston. We applaud your efforts to build something beautiful and to save space in the landfills with great pieces that make for a very enjoyable porch. Kuddos to the skills and effort. Jennifer
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine the amount of effort in planing every single one of those pallets. And it really does look like it was already put in there in one piece, what with the smooth fit and minimal spacing in it. Question though: did you plan on raising the porch, or was just a happy coincidence of putting the frames for the pallets to get attached to?
Sol HendricksAs soon as we thought in terms of a deck covering the old cracked concrete, the next consideration was whether we had room to set the joist boards in place, with boards atop them . . . and still be able to use the door! In the end, we had to raise the door sweep just a hair, so it worked out OK. The alternative to all this - and if I'd known, as you indicate, how much work this pallet porch would be we might have gone with that alternative: poured concrete over the existing slab. These were all considerations, for sure. In the end, my main concern became an asthetic one: Would it be weird to have the porch ceiling so close to our heads after we raised the porch! But I got around my concerns soon enough. (This surely makes it easier to change the light bulb!)
Thanks for your comments. It would seem you've had experience with planing and such. My husband put in a lot of hours with the planing, yes, but he seems to enjoy it, for which I am grateful. I'm not sure the neighbors appreciated his early-morning planing habits, though! I do a great imitation of a planer in action, by the way; I do this imitation when I want to stress to listeners what our neighbors heard at 7am some mornings!
Thanks again, Sol.
SusanJust wondering I need lots of pallets here in Georgia and love this idea but how did you get them to your house if you do not have a car? :( any ideas
ReplyDeleteHm. You don't have a car? Did I get that right, EmBee? Could you put out the word to family and friends that you need pallets transported to your home?
I admit that we have the ideal situation here, for projects: We have two trucks, and our grown sons have trucks too. We also have a burn pile and can burn any unwanted parts of the pallets. But this was no always so, this ideal situation. We did not even own a home until 8 1/2 years ago. We rented for all the years before that. I think I was 50 years old when we bought this house. We lived in rentals for the first, oh, 22 years of our marriage. So my answer to your questions is: Wait till the time is right. In the meantime, plan for the future. Plan, plan, plan. The planning stage is the most important part of any project anyway, and it's also the most fun part of any project, so you are in a good place.....
Hope it all works out for you.
Jesus, please give EmBee the desires of her heart.....
SusanI would have never thought to do that! It's funny how much of a difference decks can make on a house.
ReplyDeleteRepliesSo true! I don't know if you noticed the blog entry about the deck we put up? I mention that because I had wanted a deck in that spot for years, and when I finally saw it happen, I asked myself, and everyone around me too, 'What is it about a deck?' You are so right: Decks are . . . . just . . . . different. Why, I still am not sure!
It's a lovely porch, thanks for the idea!
we have so many pallets lying around and are always looking for good ideas to re-use the wood!
SamanthaThanks for the information. I am currently in the planning stage of a very ambitious remodeling and re landscaping project for my back yard. I have a grand vision of a deck that connects to the 2nd floor of my house and has an outdoor spiral staircase leading to the ground level. Anyway, I'm researching some building material and methods online in order to plan my starting point. Do you suggest real wood, or some other material?
ReplyDeleteRepliesWith planter boxes attached to the spiral staircase as it goes up and up! Flowers dripping over the edge! Oh, yes, I like that idea!
Your comment reminds me of a recent email: A friend's hubby does not like pressure-treated wood! From what I gather, some arguments ensued when they went to add new decking to their back yard!
I don't like [plastic] composite woods for one reason: People donate their milk containers . . . . then 'wood' is made from them . . . and they charge sooo much for that product. The plastic is essentially free, yet they charge so much! It's the principle of the thing!
Beyond that, I have no opinion yea or nay in re to wood choices.
I would love to see your finished outdoor projects. Please inform when done. Thanks. Susan
Susan, I want a deck so bad and can't afford the wood. I got estimates and it was over $2,000 for the deck I want. We have a pallet company up the road from where we live so I can get the wood there, just wondering if I can use this Idea on a floating deck at least two feet off the ground. Thanks for your blog.
ReplyDeleteRepliesHello! Have you checked out any ideas on pinterest, for different options for decks? You might also check to see what the building codes in your town say about railings: Where we live, if the deck is 24" or higher, you have to have railings!
beyond that, I'm sure someone will come up with a way to make a deck with whole pallets, maybe just piling them up on the ground. With enough plantings around it, that might look really nice. I love a challenge, so your question is a provocative one for me! Thanks for the comment. Hope you have a deck soon, and I pray that it works out for you. Susan
I did not hit the right button to 'reply,' so I'm not sure you got notice that I replied, all those months ago. I did reply, though, but not the right way, apparently. So sorry. Please read the comments I did make about your comments. Thanks.
That is awesome! I have been trying to find a good way to put a front deck in for my home, here in Kitchener. I think that it would be nice, and have a sweet look to it!
ReplyDeleteRepliesOur pallet wood front porch is definitely unique. Some people, I know, eschew 'unique' at every turn, though. But we have had many compliments on the porch. In fact, it is the most popular post out of all the blog entries in Redo Redux.
Thanks for your comments, Jason. Hope it all works out for you. Perhaps you can find materials to use for your deck that are unique to your needs.

I have to admit that I wrote all of the posts for Redo Redux for myself - so I could have fun reliving past projects. So it's always a pleasant surprise when others enjoy those posts, Brenda! Thank you for your lovely comments. So glad you like the porch, so glad to have met you! Hugs. Susan
It's a blog with full of latest and spectacular information's – This blog has helped me to gain much more information.

I really appreciate it. If there is a premise to this blog - and now you've got me thinking about that - it's this: Have fun and take pics along the way so you can share with others the fun you've had.
Thanks again for your comments. You made my day! Susan
ReplyDeleteRepliesOh, oh! We added a wooden sheath around that metal thingie a long time ago and I never added a photo of it! Thank you for reminding me. Your mind works like mine. You might be a bit concerned about that! Just kidding. Thanks for your comments. PS: We had to wait till we found just the right wood to cover that metal post.
DeleteI just added a photo of that post. Thanks again! Susan

Well, thank you, Jamala! If you ever try something like this, please read the comments and my replies to them. I have tried to explain some of the ins adn outs of this project so that others can try it.
The key, I think, to this project was the inspiration about how to use boards that were @ 42" long. How to use those to make a huge deck/porch? Once that problem was addressed, the rest fell into place without a hitch. Happy creating to you! Susan
IT is truly a beautiful porch, but as a forester who works with pallwts I have some concerns, submitted respectfully:
1. Sealing the wood on the top will not necessarily prevent water from leaking through screw holes, between boards, and causing the wood beneath to rot.
2. A spacer between the concrete and the bottom boards would possibly allow the water to drain off and the boards to not have to stand in water which might slow the rotting process.
3. Untreated wood, matters not whether it is hardwood or pine, is susceptible to termites, especially when the water content is suitable for them, and :
4. wood untreaated beneath, if watersoaked, will allow fungus to spread below the top seal, causing visible changes to the color and grain of the wood beneath the sealer. Wood can "wick" water from the bottom up the cells into the top of the wood, getting under the sealer from the bottom up, instead of through the sealer..RepliesYou remind me of the time - lo those many years ago - when I read book after book to teach myself to can, to preserve food in jars. Every book said the same thing; they all emphasized to a fare-thee-well the need for cleanliness. By the time I got done with my research, I was sick and tired of reading the same thing over and over again! Then something occurred to me: The writers of those canning books were writing for the lowest common denominator: They had to emphasize cleanliness because there are some unclean people out there. The authors of those books were speaking to them, not to me - I have a clean kitchen.
This blog entry was NOT written for the lowest common denominator. And it was not written as a how-to on porch-building. Unlike those books on canning, I assume that the readers of this blog are knowledgeable about important construction techniques. And I wrote this blog for my own enjoyment, for sure.
You are so right, Ed, precautions must be taken, proper building techniques need to be employed. No question. And in fact, these precautions go far beyond those things you mention. (I am thinking about how I researched building codes in our area, etc.)
So, yes, by all means follow the rules when building such a thing. By all means!
Thank you for your thoughtful and knowledgeable comments, Ed. I appreciate it.
Oh, and one more thing about those canning books: While they all stressed certain things, none of those books addressed certain other issues that are important to canning; those things, I had to learn on my own. I think that is true of any endeavor: After planning and researching, in the end, it's time to JUST DO IT.
Thanks again, Ed. By the way, my dear daddio's name was Ed. He would come to our home, eager to see what new project we'd been working on since he'd been here last. I miss you him so.
Thats a very clever idea and your right palleys can have sum amazingly exotic and nice hardwoods in them. I work in the logging industry and i know for a fact that we have delivered white/red oak locust gum maple cherry pecan hickory beech black birch and numerous other hardwoods to the local pallet factory and alot of the local tree services deliver logs from trees they take down to the pallet factory were its all roighly cut and put together.
ReplyDeleteRepliesOh, oh! I wish you'd been here as that wood came out of the planer! We marveled at the beautiful woods that emerged, but we had no idea what some of those woods were. So beautiful! I wish you'd been here to inform us!
That wood was so hard, we had to pre-drill every screw hole. (A great way to teach one's grandchild how to use a drill, by the way.) I mention this because one of the costs of making that porch was drill bits! Lots and lots of drill bits! We tried all brands, in our effort to find a kind that would take the pressure. Screws, drill bits, concrete and planer blades were our only expenses, though. The wood was free. And the stain I got at a yard sale, cheap, cheap. I did a quick tally after we were done, and as I recall it cost about $120.00 to make this pallet wood porch.
PS: One of the woods I called 'zebra wood.' I have no idea what it was, but it looked like that wood I've seen people use on TV. Stunning wood. In an earlier comment, I wrote that if I had it to do all over again, I would use a lighter stain so that the grains would show through more.
Thanks for your comments. I really appreciate you and people like you, people who join in the fun. For that, in the end, needs to be said: My husband and I made a memory that will last a lifetime, in the construction of that porch. Priceless! So thanks for adding to that memory. Susan
Just beautiful. I haven't read everyone's comments so someone may have said this already but your new porch reminds me of "Mayberry". It's very inviting to sit back, relax, and enjoy a hard days work while also inviting neighbors to also " come sit a spell". :) I'm 47 years old so I did not have the opportunity to know what it was like in Mayberry USA, but I love watching reruns of the Andy Griffith Show, and your hard work on this porch reminds me of that era. Thank you for sharing you, and your husbands hard and very creative work with the rest if us. I just stumbled upon "this post" of tours but I'm assuming you're still blogging? Blessings and peace to you and your household from Branson, Missouri!
ReplyDeleteDow: I don't blog at all now. After working on this house for all those years, I worked for about 2 months to put together the redo/redux blog....then I stopped blogging. Interestingly, this blog has garnered, so far, over 200,000 hits - most of them, by far, were hits caused by pictures of this porch on pinterest. I have not been inspired to blog since I finished the 40+ entries for this blog, oh, about 2 years ago. Who knows what this future holds for me in this regard? It would be easier to answer the question 'Where does motivation come from?!'
I love the idea that the pallet wood porch reminds you of Mayberry! Didn't Andy serenade his girlfriend on his porch in that show? Can't recall the girlfriend's name!
Blessings and peace to you and your household from Marion, Ohio! SusanSusan, I really love your work on the front porch. I am planning on making an entire deck out of pallets and was wondering if you made up anything on paper that might be emailable. My email is firstname.lastname@example.com. Any help or advise would be appreciated.
Thank you
ShawnRepliesSure, I can send you and email and outline my calculations for the porch, but I don't have anything on paper. The email will mark the first time I've written anything down!
Thanks for your kind comments. There are a lot of details in the comments, so please read those to get more info. Susan
I LOVE your name - cheap IS the new classy; very well put. I like to tease that we did not set out to conserve and re-use valuable resources when we used pallet/barn wood; that's just all we had to use, so we used it!
Thank you for your wonderful comments. I'm glad I took the time to chronicle our re-dos on this house; it allowed me to relive the fun we had on all these projects.
In addition to cheap, don't you think that people, too, are looking for authenticity?
I'll never forget the look on my brother Paul's face when he first saw our redone bathroom: He looked sort of stunned, shook his head, and mumbled, 'Pallet wood....' He's a builder by trade and he's open to new ideas, and I could tell the pallet wood in the bathroom got his creative juices flowing.
So we have enjoyed these projects in more than one way, and it continues.
Thanks again.
PS: I'd love to know what your hubby thinks.Wow! What a beautiful wood deck has come out.. I really impressed by your hard work. Hope to see some more interesting works done by you. I suggest to follow up Deck Repair Michigan
ReplyDeleteThanks, Melissa!
Because that pallet wood porch is suspended over a cement slab, it has not deteriorated at all. If you knew my husband, you'd know that he would address any such issues immediately, anyway; he's a go-getter for sure.
My biggest concern, in re the front porch, is the places where the railing boards meet the decking. Since the porch now extends out beyond the eaves, it gets exposed to rain and snow. I watch that area the most, for any signs of deterioration. If such a thing starts to happen, we could just take the railing off. I think I liked the porch better without the railing anyway. And keep in mind that when we make something ourselves, we can also fix it if it comes to that.
Thanks again for your comments. What fun this porch has been, in more ways than one.
Susanwow that would take a tremendous amount of time and dedication! WTG - we've got tons of pallets at work but most of them are the painted type and have had chemicals on them but I love how people can find new uses and are willing to take the time to re use
ReplyDeleteRepliesbinabug! You got it: A lot of time and dedication! But it was also fun. You know how it goes: one project feeds into another project.....and another!
A thought: If you can't find pallets to play with, perhaps there is something in your area - and available to you - that you need to but look at in a different way. Oh, I think I'm going to take that advice my own self and look around for something new to play with!
Could you let me know what you had to buy?? All I can find is thin pallets up here in Alaska???
ReplyDeleteRepliesCarolyn: We were given the pallets. They were from a factory that makes giant doors. You will also see info on my blog about the barns we used for other projects; my husband found them near our home and asked the owners if he could have those barns.
So the only thing we have to buy is screws and drill bits, and we've run through two planers so far, and planer blades too - we've had to buy some of those, of course. Stain I found at a yard sale - I bought quarts of stain for 50 cents and a 1.00.
PS: I love revisiting these projects when I respond to remarks made about the blog. So thank you for asking! Thank you for your kind remarks. Susan
Great idea, when i think of how many pallets our grandkids burned for bonfires!!
Amazing what your hard work produced. thanks forsharing.HI just want to know what you used to level the porch out and is the material you used for the leveling sufficient?
ReplyDeleteRepliesI don't know all the lingo, Johan, but I'll try....
We were dealing with 18 3'x3' increments - see photos - so we leveled from section to section, starting in a corner and referencing the one beside it to level each element. My husband screwed one 3-foot-square to the one next to it, then we used the level to establish level, and so on. Each corner intersection was then built upon a sort of hard-wood piling: the bottom board was tap-conned to the existing concrete, then wood pieces piled on top and screwed to that base. In this way, we moved across the porch, adding pieces and leveling each one as we went. Sure, we could have opted for a more traditional long-board structure, and leveling those long(er) boards would have been a lot easier. But there was a problem with that idea: By the time we attached boards to the house, then added decking, the porch would have been higher than the front door opening, if you see what I mean. The method we used circumvented that problem, and was a definite consideration in the design of the porch. Hope this answers your question. And thank you for leaving a comment. Susan
Those looking for good pallets breeds to find a roofing company. My husband is a roofer and is all the time get solid oak pallets that are 6-10 feet long!! And they are Heavy!!
ReplyDeleteJust in the process of finishing up my pallet deck. I got the criss cross idea from your photo on Pinterest. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job on this porch you created , would love to this also however the pallets are becoming hard to come by seems a LOT of people have seen projects like yours and others who have re-purpose pallets and now you have to pay for pallets were around here in the Northern California it use to be free ! Love your landscaping also great job thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas
ReplyDeleteRepliesThanks for your awesome comments! Yes, I so agree with you about supply and demand; all of a sudden people realize they can sell their pallets/barns! So.....I'm thinking we'll just have to come up with new ideas about what resources to 'mine.' Hm. That gets my mind whirring, thinking about what other options there might be out there that no one has tapped into before.
I love it when people take time to leave comments. Thank again. Happy creating!!!! Susan

This deck is built, essentially, on stilts. At the base of each 'leg' is a board that has been anchored to the old concrete slab with something my husband calls tap-cons - screws/bolts designed to use with concrete. The concrete was in good shape but had a few large cracks in it. So we had to adjust each component of the deck as we went along, based on the level of the concrete beneath each 'leg.' Does that make sense? Did I say that right? My husband, literally, knows the nuts and bolts of the how-to's, something that I appreciate about him tremendously. I'm more like, 'Hey, let's do this! without regard for whether my design ideas are doable, so we compliment each other beautifully. Thanks for your question, Michelle. Hope this helps. Susan
Yes, I have been looking for this all day better now than never!
deck flooring supplier in indiaIs wood stronger than steel and concrete?
wood flooringRepliesI've given this some thought: I think what people are looking for is . . . . authenticity. So concrete flooring made to mimic wood flooring would not be an authentic thing. Plus - and you can see this in the second picture of this blog entry - the original concrete floor(ing) did not hold up to the test of time; it cracked and sagged. The porch is covered, and I think water was a factor in the demise of the concrete: Rain and snow did not readily dry and the concrete was eventually compromised.
We were given the hardwood pallets (authenticity), and had to come up with a design that would allow us to use these shorter pieces of wood to span the size we needed (authenticity).
The porch is still dark most of the time, but the spaces between the boards allow water to run off of the wood.
Will this pallet wood front porch stand the test of time? I have my doubts! But unlike concrete, if it starts to deteriorate, we can easily pull it out of there and burn it - no big deal.
Thanks for your comments. It got me thinking. And thanks for the 'wood flooring' link.
Mark K: Oh, I never thought to take pics of the pallets before we disassembled them. These are pallets used to transport parts for industrial-sized doors. They are hard wood, for the most part. Every board you see in the pics, in this blog entry, are from pallets. The pallets were taken apart. Then the nails were removed. Then my husband put those boards through a planer. Did you happen to see the Pallet Wood in the Bathroom blog entry, by the way?? Did you read some of what I wrote in this blog entry? If you read what I wrote, and read the comments, you'll learn more about this pallet wood. Thanks for your comments. Susan

Cotrellie Early OriginsThe surname Cotrellie was first found in Derbyshire where they held a family seat from very early times and were granted lands by Duke William of Normandy, their liege Lord, for their distinguished assistance at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 A.D. Cotrellie Spelling VariationsCotrellie Spelling VariationsAnglo-Norman names tend to be marked by an enormous number of spelling variations. This is largely due to the fact that Old and Middle English lacked any spelling rules when Norman French was introduced in the 11th century. The languages of the English courts at that time were French and Latin. These various languages mixed quite freely in the evolving social milieu. The final element of this mix is that medieval scribes spelled words according to their sounds rather than any definite rules, so a name was often spelled in as many different ways as the number of documents it appeared in. The name was spelled Cotterell, Cotterel, Cotteral, Cotteril, Cotterill, Cottral, Cottrall, Cottrell, Cottrel, Coterall, Coterel, Coteril, Coterill, Cotrall, Cotrell, Cottrle, Cotral, Cotraul, Cotrelly and many more.

Another 56 words (4 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Cotrellie Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible. The Great MigrationThe Great MigrationBecause of the political and religious discontent in England, families began to migrate abroad in enormous numbers. Faced with persecution and starvation at home, the open frontiers and generally less oppressive social environment of the New World seemed tantalizing indeed to many English people. The trip was difficult, and not all made it unscathed, but many of those who did get to Canada and the United States made important contributions to the young nations in which they settled. Some of the first North American settlers with Cotrellie name or one of its variants: Edward Cotterell who settled in Virginia in 1635; John Cotterell settled in New England in 1655; Timothy Cotterill arrived in Boston in 1765; Edward Cotteral arrived in Pennsylvania in 1772.

Simple hydroxamic acids such as formo- and aceto-hydroxamic acids have been proposed as suitable reagents for the separation of either Pu and/or Np from U in modified or single cycle Purex based solvent extraction processes designed to meet the emerging requirements of advanced fuel cycles. The stability of these hydroxamic acids is dominated by their decomposition through acid hydrolysis. Kinetic studies of the acid hydrolysis of formo- and acetohydroxamic acids are reported in the absence and the presence of Pu(IV) ions. The slow reduction of these plutonium(IV) hydroxamate complexes to Pu(III) aquo-ions has been characterised by spectrophotometry and cyclic voltammetry. The reductions of Pu(IV) in the presence of FHA and AHA are consistent with a mechanism in which free hydroxamic acid in solution is hydrolysed whilst Pu(IV) ions remain fully complexed to hydroxamate ligands; then at some point close to a 1 : 1 Pu(IV) : XHA ratio, some free Pu4+ is released from the complex and reduction is initiated. Electrochemical and kinetic data suggest that the reductant is the hydroxamic acid rather than the hydroxylamine.

Gov. John Kasich says only California and Michigan lost more jobs than Ohio in the last decade
Jobs were the leading issue in Ohio's 2010 election campaign, and the issue has lost none of its importance or utility to officeholders.
Gov. John Kasich brought it up twice in two days in interviews on CNN. The first-term Republican cited the state's loss of jobs among the reasons he backed Senate Bill 5, which would eliminate collective bargaining rights for state employees.
"We have lost 600,000 jobs over the period of the last 10 years," Kasich said. "Only Michigan and California have done worse."
We thought that was worth checking, especially because employment figures are estimates, measured several different ways.
The Current Population Survey (CPS) is based on household interviews conducted each month by the U.S. Census Bureau for the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It counts employed individuals, and its data is used in calculating unemployment.
The monthly Current Employment Statistics (CES) survey uses payroll records and counts unique jobs. Normally the headline jobs figure, it is preferred by the Congressional Budget Office and Bureau of Labor Statistics for measuring job growth.
According to the CES survey and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 5,002,900 jobs in Ohio in December 2010. Ten years earlier, in December 2000, the number was 5,613,000.
That's a loss of about 610,000 jobs -- and the decline is even larger from the peak level of 5,638,100 jobs in May 2000.
Kasich had Ohio's number right.
But was it the nation's third worst?
California, which had 13,897,100 jobs in December 2010, lost 803,000 jobs from December 2000, and 1,305,500 jobs from the state's peak level of July 2007, according to the CES survey.
Michigan had 3,831,500 jobs in December 2010, a loss of 832,800 from December 2000.
Kasich was correct that both states lost more jobs than Ohio from the start to the finish of the decade ending last December. No other states lost more by that measure.
But there's a footnote we'll also add about boom-or-bust Florida, which qualifies as both a gainer and a loser. The state gained about 30,000 jobs from December 2000 to December 2010, when it had 7,193,900 in the CES survey.
From its peak level of March 2007, however, Florida has lost 876,500 jobs -- more than any state except California.
But for purposes of the Truth-O-Meter, words matter. Kasich's statement was that over the last 10 years, Ohio lost 600,000 jobs and that only Michigan and California have done worse. And in terms of net change over the decade, he's right on the money.
We rate his statement as True.

should I claim against the school after a childs brain injury
(103 Posts)My dilema is that my son has been left with permanent double vision after a friend demonstrated a wwe move on in 4 years ago which put him in hospital. He has had double vision on and off ever since, but on the 9th September just gone his single vision just went on him and he has had double vision ever since. He has been seen at Morfields and we were told that he has this for live and nothing can correct it. He has since gone on to secondary school since the injury but the primary school know all about it. This injury was done in the dinner line. I have been back for a second hospital appointment and I was told one again that it could not be corrected and that the double vision stems from a brain injury most certainly caused by the trauma to his neck. The problem is my daghter still goes to the school, and I have always supported the school. I am not sure what to do, obviously this double vision has had a dramatic effect on him, he can only read 36 font size and now writes like an infant, so I need to try and sort a statement for him or laptop. We might have to consider a school that specialises with sight loss.
That sounds awful. However, can't you only claim against the school if they were negligent?
Suspect it wodul depends on the circumstances and how well documented the injury was at the time, the prognosis and the subsequent problems. Do you have any neurological evidence, scans etc for example ?
That was hardly the school's fault, was it? If you must sue someone, sue the little boy who hurt your boy.
Or accept that accidents happen and just sort the help your son needs.
Go to a solicitor to see if you have a case, you can then decide if you do want to proceed.
Oh shequeen that is horrible, your poor DS. I am sorry I don't know about the legal thing, as noble says were the school negligent? Do the other child's parents know what happened?
Tee072, the problem is that the boys parents are unlikely to have the cash or that a child of primary school age will be held responsible. I think the issue is likely to be around whether or not the school breached a duty of care towards your children, how good the playground supervision was, had there been instances before which hadn't been dealt with etc.
It doesn't sound like an accident Tee, sounds like the other boy shouldn't have been showing off his WWE moves.
That is awful
Are the parents of this boy aware of what he did? How old we're they?
Yes, you can only claim if you can show that the school were negligent - for example, if the boys had been wrestling in an inappropriate way for a significant amount of time and the school staff had done nothing to stop them. If the wrestling move was more of a 'one off' / sudden incident that happened in a flash it wouldn't be negligence on the school's part. If the school made any sort of apology at the time, or changed their policies in response to the accident, it could strengthen your case.
If you think there is a possibility the school was negligent then get proper legal advice.
The school will have insurance to cover claims so the fact that you support the school or your daughter goes there shouldn't mean you can't claim if they genuinely were negligent.
AFAIK you can't sue the child but you can sue the school for inadequate supervision though depending on the circumstances you may not get very far. Is the school an academy or an LA one? The LA will deal with the case if it's an LA school. Make sure you use a good solicitor though, lots of no win no fee type people take advantage of parents in this situation.
FWIW I think you should sue or a least investigate the possibility: that's a terrible injury your son has suffered.
Your poor ds.
I am so sorry. My sister lost most of her vision in one eye and lives with permanent altered vision and has learnt coping mechanisms and now you wouldn't even guess.
But I don't understand why you want to sue the school? Yes this boy shouldn't have been showing off his moves but it was a terribly tragic accident and no-ones to blame. It probably happened in an instant and of they told you about it, have supported him since and made sure that supervision is adequate I'm not sure what you're hoping to gain.
If it had happened in your own home on a playdate, who would you consider responsible? Just because it happened on school premises doesn't mean the school could in any way have prevented it.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
No amount of money will give him his sight back. The legal proceedings will put you in an antagonistic role which will affect your emotional well being for the duration. Unless you have a belief that the school were negligent I'd question if this was going to give you a good outcome.
That's very true Northern.
I don't know how you come to terms with a moment of childish madness in the lunch line ruining your child's sight for life. i think I would explode with bitterness.
Sorry I meant 'could' not 'should', above,,,,auto correct .
Talk to a reputable firm of solicitors - NOT no-win no-fee ambulance chasers.
The school's insurers will look at the case and decide whether
1) to contest the case i.e whether they have a good chance of winning and recovering their costs from you
2) offer to settle out of court.
In deciding this they will look at what happened, where it happened, who saw it etc to make up their minds as to whether or not someone was negligent. Even if they have a quite strong defence they may offer to settle to avoid court. Be careful about hidden fees or insurance with ambulance chasers.
I just reread your original post OP.Can I ask if you think the staff at the school were negligent and i
I agree with what Northern said.
your poor son. I'm so sorry.
re suing - how were the school negligent? could it have been foreseen and prevented? Did they see it happening and fail to act, despite having been able to if they had wanted?
Was it their fault, or was it a dreadful accident that nobody could have predicted?
If the child had a history of springing those moves on people, and the school knew that and did nothing, then perhaps.
Talk to a decent solicitor.

I was very pleased this week to receive an e-mail from Chris Toumey, who, in addition to working at the University of South Carolina NanoCenter, contributes four commentaries per year to Nature Nanotechnology.
It seems Toumey had read one of my pieces (from the description I assume it to be this one) and had sent along a piece he had written for Nature Nanotechnology back in 2008 entitled "Questions and Answers" (subscription required).
The piece describes Toumey's valiant effort to go through all the basic introductions to nanotechnology and determine which one actually best accomplished what it set out to do.
I won't go further in describing this piece since you all may not be able to gain access to it, but instead direct you to a more recent piece of Toumey's, which is more or less on the topic of how science engages the public. It's called "Science in the service of citizens and consumers."
Science, to my mind, always seemed to be an inquiry on how the world around us operates. If it serves anything, it might be our curiosity, but I am wondering if we might be confusing science with technology when we see it as providing some kind of service to citizens and consumers.
Anyway, the main point of the piece seems to be that we should focus on what the public actually wants to know instead of what scientists believe they should know.
It makes sense, of course, but the problem is that typically, what the public really wants to know is whether Britney Spears will remarry. People's sometimes ugly confusion that derives from this fundamental urge includes all sorts of misapprehensions about the world around them, as I have indicated in the past.
But I am no social scientist, and determining a toxicology paradigm for nanoparticles may actually benefit from the input of someone who can tell you the comings and goings of the latest Hollywood starlet. Who knows?

Longfellow Wayside Inn in Sudbury, Massachusetts, USA
Some interesting history:
The Wayside Inn Grist Mill is the first working mill to be built as a museum. Commissioned by Henry Ford and designed by renowned hydraulic engineer J.B. Campbell of Philadelphia, work on the Mill began in 1924 by local workmen preparing the waterway from Grist Mill Pond.
In 1952, the Mill began full operations again. Under a lease arrangement with the Inn, Pepperidge Farm provided a full-time Miller to produce stone-ground whole wheat flour for the company's products. The Wayside Inn Grist Mill shipped out its entire output to Pepperidge Farm plants
The Mill produced flour for King Arthur Flour Company from 1967 to 1969. In 1969, the Inn began to operate the Mill, hiring its own full-time Miller. The Grist Mill currently produces 5–15 tons of flour per year (depending on demand) which is used in the restaurant's baked goods and is sold in the Inn Gift Shop.

BROOKLYN, Mich. -- If the Penske entries signaled in qualifying they were the cars to beat at Michigan and for the title, then IndyCar Series leader Sam Hornish Jr.'s car failing after 61 laps of Sunday's Firestone Indy 400 signaled all bets are off.
Helio Castroneves took over the series lead from his Penske teammate by winning the race while defending series champion Dan Wheldon narrowed his gap to the lead from 32 points to 17 by finishing third.
"I told everyone I was going to drive like it was my last race, and we did," Castroneves said. "To leave here with my first victory and to have the championship lead, it's all I could hope for."
Vitor Meira earned the seventh runner-up finish of his career and is now winless in 57 starts.
In a race with the fewest caution flags (2) in IRL history and the third-fastest average speed (193.972 mph), Hornish looked like he might have the car to beat. He took the lead from polesitter Castroneves on the first green-flag lap after three laps were run under yellow while race officials made sure the track was dry after midday storms.
But the first sign of trouble came on Lap 50, when Hornish made an unscheduled pit stop after radioing his crew that his car was running hot. Just 11 laps later, he was out of the race and with an official finish of 19th. That's the same as last.
"The car was handling well and I thought we had a really good chance to win the race," Hornish said. "I'm not really sure what happened, but I know it was an issue with the engine.
"It's a shame to end the day like that, but that's how it goes sometimes."
Sunday's race clarified the title chase in one way. What started as a four-man race for the title was likely trimmed to three when Scott Dixon's car ran out of fuel on Lap 44. While Hornish's uncharacteristic failure left the points race wide open, the mistake by Ganassi Racing in keeping Dixon out too long put the New Zealander out of the hunt and left teammate Wheldon as the only non-Penske entry with a clear shot at the title.
Wheldon, who was also low on fuel at the same time as Dixon, but was allowed to come in under caution for a quick splash, said he was happy to make up ground in the race for the championship.
"It's unfortunate for Sam because he seems to have some bad luck," Wheldon said. "It's always disappointing to see someone go out like that, but at the same time we made up points. I think we got the best out of what we had today."
Castroneves, known for his fence-climbing antics after winning a race, admitted he didn't get very high up on Sunday at Michigan International Speedway.
"After 400 miles, it was a little hard," he said. "The funny thing is it wasn't [the curved fences], it was the banking. That was the first time I went to the Michigan straightaway and the banking is kind of high. After 400 miles, again, I'm like, 'Come on legs, go!' The leg wasn't responding, especially the right one. ... When I grabbed the fence, I was like, 'Whoa, my arms are tired here! What's going on!' Finally I was able to find some cables.
"These are the days I wonder what the heck I'm thinking when I did that."
Conventional wisdom said Hornish needed a good showing at Michigan since there are only two oval tracks left -- Kentucky Speedway and the finale at Chicagoland Speedway -- over the final three IndyCar races. Sandwiched in the middle? Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, Calif., where Hornish has struggled and road-course aces Wheldon and Castroneves have thrived.
"Now we just have to move past this and look ahead to the final three races of the season and try to earn as many points as we can," Hornish said.
At eight points back, Hornish still has more than a fighting chance to win it all, but Sonoma makes his uphill climb look almost as tough as Castroneves' up the fence at MIS.

Just*in Time: HIV and DatingBy Justin B. Terry-Smith September 5, 2012 From "Just*in Time," Justin's column in A&U Magazine, America's AIDS Magazine. Listen, I've been reading and watching your blog, Justin's HIV Journal, and I've been a fan of yours and it is truly inspirational to see your strength through it all. Well, all in all, I've been diagnosed with HIV for a year now and I've been very open with my status to guys I've tried to date and to even some of my friends. Now I'm single and I feel more alone than ever. I've tried to date poz guys, but most of the ones I've met want to only bareback and I don't want any part of it. I'm scared I will be alone for the rest of my life until the day I die. Any words of advice for me? -- Jason Jason, We have to be strong and know that there will be someone out there that will love us for who we are and not see disease when looking into our eyes or soul. Now, when a man says that he doesn't want you because of your status, respect his decision and move on. The more time you waste thinking about a person who doesn't want you, the more time is wasted not looking for the one who does want you. Look inside yourself and know that you are beautiful inside and out and if someone cannot see that then fuck them. Also, and this has helped me, I suggest that you find an activity that makes you happier than hell and go for it head-on. Keep in mind, too, that there are groups that do have a poz theme to them that are not about dating but about networking and having people that are or will go through the same things you are. Also, if your friends are starting to turn their backs on you just because you have HIV then they are not really your friends and you do not need that drama. I find that there are a lot of people who want a relationship when they are first diagnosed because they are looking for that acceptance that it is okay and that someone will love them. I'm not saying this is happening with you but keep that in perspective. All I'm saying is that be comfortable with yourself and love yourself -- then that will open your heart to be loved by someone else.
-- Michelle Michelle, Okay, in my opinion, tell him!!! Well, if you two haven't been intimate then that is good because he should at least have the choice of knowing that this is not what he wants. Give him the option to say "no" or to say "yes." In my opinion, the earlier you tell him the more he will respect you in the end. Also there are laws in some states that have been enacted to criminalize people who are living with HIV. I'm not here to scare you, but you need to know the truth. When you tell him I suggest that you do so in a very comfortable and familiar setting to you both. Be very careful. When telling a loved one it can be very hard. I can relate -- I didn't even get a chance to tell my own mother; she found out through a family member, one I thought I could trust. It is better if he hears from you than one of your friends or family members. Remember, Michelle, there are worse things than to tell your partner that you have HIV, and that would be to not tell him. Stay strong -- honesty is the best policy.
