Alternatives to Copper Roofs
Guest User
|Last year our architect specified a pre-patina copper, standing seam roof for a house we're building in Vermont. The price of copper has escalated so dramatically that it's no longer a practical consideration. Do you know of an alternative that will give us the look of copper patina and decent longevity?

Unlikely Gobies
The BumbleBee gobies will live much longer in a slightly brackish water tank.
Only a few brackish water fish that small are available so go with the path of least resistances and keep the Serpae Tetras.
They are much like Tiger Barbs wherein a larger group will be less likely to nip fins and you will have a much larger selection of Tetras to choose other take mates.
They rarely bother other Tetras. Male Betta splendens, Gouramis and Angelfish are commonly victimized by Serpae Tetras.
Peaceful medium sized SA Cichlids like Mesonauta species can hold their own despite having long pelvic fins.
Old fish breeder. SA Dwarf Cichlids, Hypancistrus sp L260, L333 and Peckoltia L134 breeder. Also Sturisoma, Dwarf Corydoras spp, wild Discus and Killiefish. Like breeding Characins and wild Betta spp too.

Raashul Tandon the actor who plays the mentally challenged Rocky Chachu, in the hit kid`s TV show Baalveer accepted the show only because he loves kids shows and always as an actor wanted to be a part of such kinds of shows. The actor who recently shot with Sara Loren and Taha Shah for Barkhaa, was a huge fan of Shaktimaan as a kid. With Baalveer, he pays an ode to the hit TV show.
Talking about Shaktimaan, Raashul says
"When I was a kid, I use to watch lots of movies, TV shows. Shaktimaan was one of the show which glued me! I use to love that fantasy world… Now, as an actor when I got a project like Baalveer, I was more than happy to do as I want today's kids who missed that awesome show Shaktimaan, to enjoy today's show Baalveer!"
Raashul plays Rocky Chachu, who is mentally challenged but fun to be with as he is thoda innocent and thoda childish. Its been almost 2.5 years and the show is running successfully. Keep it locked for more updates!

The old, gray-painted deck boards ran from the house to the clumsy bench and trelliswork that blocked access to the yard. Barsness replaced them with natural cedar decking that stretches the full length of the house, extending under the porch to make both deck and porch feel larger. A wide stairway and airy rails open the deck to the gardens. After photos by Jerry Swanson
Success in the exterior remodeling orbit propelled Lake State Remodelers into a whole new flight path. In 2000, after six years as a specialist in replacing roofing, siding, windows and simple decks, the Brooklyn Park, Minn., company was pounding out 188 projects a year. Most of the jobs were exterior replacements, but company co-owners Doug Schultz and Glenn Litwiller found themselves accepting a growing number of design/build projects for repeat customers.
A year later, the balance had tipped, and Lake State had become a design/build firm taking exterior replacement jobs as fill-in work. The rocket-fast transition was a testament to Lake State's solid reputation and work quality, but it shot the company's learning curve into the stratosphere. And Celeste Gervais' remodeling project sat squarely on the launching pad.
For years Gervais had dreamed of converting the sorry porch and deck of her Edina, Minn., house into a Cape Cod-style outdoor space for entertaining friends and enjoying garden vistas. The low-ceilinged, 10x12-foot back porch of the 1946 house was so small that she never used it. The adjoining, three-level deck had rotting wood, peeling paint, and a barrier of bushes and trelliswork that hampered garden views. Additionally, says Scott Barsness of Lake State's sales and design department, the deck was starting to pull away from the house and sink.
On the recommendation of her handyman, Gervais had hired Lake State a few years earlier to re-side the front and sides of her house. The job went well, and she called Lake State again in 2001 for the more complex job of designing and building a new back-of-the-house structure.
Where dreams meet reality
Barsness went out to the house for an initial meeting on May 11, 2001. Though he had years of construction, selling and estimating experience with Lake State, he says, "This was one of my first design projects, if not the first."
Gervais greeted him with a mound of pictures from magazines and books showing gorgeous porches and decks. Most of the pictured projects were too big and elaborate for Gervais' house. Rather than discourage Gervais, Barsness decided "not to discuss budget a lot" in the first meeting. Instead, "we kicked around ideas - wants, needs, goals," he says.
Gervais had several definite ideas. "I wanted to either revamp the porch into a larger room with vaulted ceiling and cathedral window or just make a covered deck." As for the deck itself, "I wanted wide steps down the middle into the back yard." She wanted a pergola over the deck "for effect and look, and a wee bit of shade." Barsness found that Gervais was open to suggestions on how to achieve "the feeling and flow" of the pictured projects rather than mimicking specific details.
Back at the office, Barsness drew up a few design scenarios. In the next meeting three weeks later, he presented them, with estimates attached. They ranged from a basic, $24,000 plan to a more elaborate $35,000 version with a larger deck and trelliswork underneath. Though Gervais was determined to hold the line at close to $20,000, she wanted Barsness to try to work in many of the extras in his expanded plans.
Because the construction was scheduled for the following spring, the design process could - and did - stretch on for many meetings and phone calls over several months, says Barsness. "I didn't have an efficient way of showing my ideas," he says. He would describe his ideas to Gervais, then she would try to visualize them. She'd come back with questions or ideas that called for more changes. The process took "countless hours," Barsness says. One of the first things Lake State did after the Gervais job was buy CAD software.
The white-painted rails, pergola, window boxes, window and door trim combine with new cedar shakes to evoke the Cape Cod beach cottage look Gervais wanted. "The only thing needed to make it perfect would be the Atlantic Ocean" in the back yard, she says.
Eventually, Barsness found a crossroads between Gervais' design aspirations and budgetary realities. Some things, such as maintenance-free composite decking, had to be dropped completely, and other ideas had to be scaled down.
To achieve bold visual impact for a budget price tag, Barsness employed several design compromises. Among them:
- Sticking to the existing porch size and structure;
- Reusing the leaky porch roof, with new rubber surfacing to end the leakage;
- Scaling down the pergola to cover only half the depth of the deck, thus requiring fewer posts;
- Crafting columns from 6x6 posts and 1-by base trim rather then buying fancier decorative posts.
Still, the final design for a $26,000, 475-square-foot structure hit all the hot buttons: It featured a covered porch area; a broad, angular deck with wide central stairway into the back yard; a pergola stretching all the way across the deck, from the porch on one side to the garage at the other; and new cedar siding to match the rest of the house. Gervais loved Barsness' design solution. On October 30, she signed a construction contract.
The claustrophobic three-season porch was "a waste of space," Gervais says. By removing the walls, adding open rails and raising the ceiling, Lake State turned the porch into an inviting outdoor room that better connects to the deck and outdoors. Extending the deck 1 1/2 feet and angling it toward a wide central stairway created a gracious connection to the yard.
Between concrete and a hard place
In April 2002, at an onsite pre-construction meeting two weeks before production was to begin, lead carpenter Dwayne Smith made an alarming discovery. Looking behind the bushes and through the latticed deck skirt, he found a concrete patio on the designated building area.
Lake State had a problem. Barsness' design called for building the new deck on 2x12 joists, attaching it to the house and supporting it with intermediate and perimeter footings. With the concrete in the way, intermediate footings were out of the question. But removing the concrete would be a budget buster. Just getting front-end loaders into the back yard to handle the concrete removal would be virtually impossible because the only access was through the garage service door. Breaking up the concrete by hand would kill the production schedule.
Barsness went back to his span charts and devised a system that had no intermediate footings but used double-thickness supporting posts next to the house and around the rim of the deck. Doubled-up joists and a double-thick header supported the load in a cantilevered portion of the deck midway across the back of the house. Smith chose southern yellow pine instead of fir for the 17-foot joists because the harder pine can carry longer spans.
The toughest section of deck was at the garage service door, which was a few steps down from the main deck level. Smith trimmed off the main deck and had to create a lower deck in front of the door, says Barsness, "with double and triple-thick joists to create a beam" where the main deck left off.
Challenge and reward
Building a new wall-less porch under an old roof was tricky, too. Smith pulled out a window and some lumber to see how the room was held together structurally. Finding no solid headers around the space and no header at all across the front of the room, he had to build temporary walls to carry the roof load when he removed the walls. A side header was too low to meet code, so Smith raised the existing headers, filling in with soffits. After working in a new front header and adding new bearing posts all around, he dismantled the temporary walls. Then he added three tiers of beams to dress up the ceiling structure.
Despite the problems, the project introduced fresh rewards to a com-pany new to design/build. For the first time, Barsness experienced the satisfaction of seeing his designs take shape.
Lake State owner Doug Schultz views the Gervais project as a successful launching point for his design/ build business. It tested his systems and proved the need to "get all the bugs worked out" during the design phase. And it demonstrated to Schultz that design/build lets you strut your stuff. "I love the way [the Gervais job] looks," he says. So do prospective clients. With photos of the project prominently displayed in the company's office, presentation books, newsletter and on its Web site, the project is helping to generate a whole new universe of remodeling work for Lake State.
Decking and siding: Cedar. Joists: Southern yellow pine. Joist hangers: Simpson. Paint: Sherwin Williams. Stain: Cabot. Water Seal: Thompson's.
The Financials
On the financial side, Lake State got lucky with the Gervais project. "As each design/build job goes along," says Doug Schultz, "our [financial management] process gets more efficient." Because the Gervais job was one of Lake State's early design/build ventures, the financial management system was unrefined. Nevertheless the company pulled off a gross profit of 36.7percent on the job, actually beating its estimate by a few points.
Design agreement: Lake State asked Gervais to sign a professional service agreement (PSA) and pay a design fee upfront, which was credited to her when she signed the construction contract. To compute the PSA price, "back then we figured out the designer's fee - the time he'd spend - and threw a number at it," says Schultz. Gervais' $800 fee fell far short of covering the prolonged time Barsness spent on design.
Profitability: On the other hand, construction came in under budget. Schultz knew that his old exterior remodeling price formula - "a third for materials, a third for labor, a third for profit" - would never work for design/build, but Lake State did not yet have a job cost history on which to base design/build estimates. Fortunately, Barsness' careful time and materials estimate on the fixed-price contract was good. Though Barsness did not anticipate the problem with the concrete, the revised deck support system "cost more for lumber, but less for footings" because fewer footings were built, Schultz says. The job was finished in four weeks (a few days sooner than expected), saving labor costs. Bottom line: "I'm happy with where the job came in" financially, says Schultz, even if it was "a fluke."
Today, Lake State plays it safer. The company uses QuickBooks Pro to track estimated versus actual job costs on all divisions, which yields a reliable basis for ongoing estimating. Lake State's PSA fees now incorporate 1 percent of the estimated job cost for concept drawings, another 1 percent for working drawings, and $150-$300 to cover the legwork of collecting plot plans, surveys and so on. If changes exceed an agreed-on limit during the design phase, Lake State is considering assessing an additional fee.

This week - Going out!
I am merging this with a late running XMAS challenge for the 40 plus challenge (See below the linky)
Initially this was going to be easy as I had a night out in the city planned with a lovely hotel booked not far from my work, but ...
The best laid plans...
H had to work and the organiser of the drinkies cancelled the event anyway. BAH. No reason to stay in a city hotel, we cancelled and I stayed at home and just had an early night.
I got my Long Tall Sally order so I decided to use this haul to show what I was hoping to wear out. Two dresses were a total fail. I like body hugging but this was body strangling. I have all 4 the same size and brand.
Thsi is the Blossom Textured bead dress. Its a stiff fabric but structured so I love how it looks on.
The bag is from ASOS and found here - Its $64 as its in season but I bought it on the black Friday sale so I only paid a fraction of that. Its cute and glittery.. I do love it!
Biggest issue with this dress is, as its so stiff, I can't do it up alone.. as no one was home to help me.... I couldn't for the life of me get the zip up as it gets troublesome at the waist were the skirt means the bodice.
The Premium Fern Lace dress is lovely, stretchy and flowy. I absolutely adore the lacy fern print and the beige under slip. The issue is (If you are shy) Visible Belly line due to the light under slip.
The next two were disappointing. Both dresses had NO stretch at all and were a small cut. The black bandage dress is a scuba material but very thick so almost no stretch at all. It hugged my belly tight and the waist line cut me in half.
Bandage Lace Trim dress - I would have to size up at least twice to get in or out of it comfortably. It only goes up to size 22 which is sold out. Sigh..
Lastly the Satin Floral back detail dress. I should have known better with this.. but its soooo pretty and I love to show off my tattoos..
So there you have 4 dresses, all I would have worn out if I was going out and in the case of some, two sizes smaller.
I took the photos inside due to the face it was over 40C when I took the photos and be damned if I was going to melt or be singed by standing in the sun.
Have a great week !

On November 30th of last year, Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows's Public Relations Director Liesl Kenney released a statement in response to concerns from guests about the water quality at the upper mountain water quality.
He took the time to both explain what happened to cause the contamination – a mild contamination due to upgrading the water systems over the summer in response to havoc-wreaking rainstorms that struck all over Placer County – as well as what has been done to combat the contamination.
This includes working with Placer Country Environmental Health, Squaw Valley Public Service District, and various other experts in the field of water safety. Working together, they've already seen huge improvements to the water quality, as well as a massive reduction in the contamination.
Kenney stresses that their customers, their guests, are of the utmost importance to Squaw Valley and that they have taken all measures to ensure that they continue to have use of the facilities while maintaining their safety.
"At no point was the contaminated water available to the public," Kenney said. "We will not return to our regular water usage at High Camp or Gold Coast until we are fully assured by health officials and other experts that the water is safe… While this issue is being resolved, our guests at High Camp and Gold Coast will have normal and full access to our facilities, including free bottled water for drinking."
He stated that Squaw Valley will keep all of their guests updated about what the experts have to say, as well as when they're given the go-ahead to drink the water again.

Her name never really rang a bell to me until I stumbled on her Facebook page where she sells her fabulous hand-made accessories. At first glance, one would be tempted to buy every piece she has posted in her page. Sometimes, before one could even type in "hm (abbreviation for how much)?" in the comment space, she'd update each photo caption with SOLD, repeatedly, all the way to the last item in the album. Everything sells like pancakes. Ironically, it came to my luck that she only sells one piece per design. My purse had let out a sigh of relief at this revelation, as it would not be depleted to a smaller size given the unavailability of my choices in Tina's stock room. Whew. Another triumph for Shopaholics Anonymous.
Her considerably priced creations are modified versions of designer gems you can buy in any high end boutique. Tina finds inspiration for trends like bibs, bejewelled scarves, chunky layered beads, and many more. She never fails to amaze me and my stylist/ photographer-friend, Ayie, with her great eye for style. Her accessories have become conversation pieces, as well as inspirations for fashion shoots here and there. We've always wondered how she puts together elaborate and intricate patterns, without the aid of a professional artist.
Tina shares the back story of her accessory line, Tinitch Accessories. "I have always loved working with my hands, doing all sorts of arts and crafts. I started making my own accessories back when I was 18 yrs old. They were much simpler in design. Mostly wooden beads and nylon strings."
"I got hooked to designing jewelries when my friend asked me to recreate an expensive necklace she saw in a mall. What started as a hobby of combining beads, cords, and semi-precious gemstones for friends and family, eventually became a successful and creative venture that drew interest from many jewelry lovers."
Tina yearned for a formal training in this craft, but found the internet as a better source of techniques and how to's. "I wanted to join workshops but didn't have the time. I just learned on my own through online tutorials in YouTube. I get my inspiration online, surfing websites like Etsy and Pinterest. Fashion blogs also stimulates the creative juices in me. I love browsing though outfit posts, checking out different ways of matching clothes with accessories. My list of style icons include names of stylists and fashion bloggers local and US based fashion mavens such as Camille Co, Aisa Ipac, Kryz Uy, Rachel Zoe, and Daphne Guinness."
From personal flair to a full-blown brand, I'd say Tinitch Accessories exemplifies Tina's individuality and style. Friends describe her as funny, eccentric and unpredictable. Her fashion style is more on the subtle side. She follows trends, but sticks to the basics. She puts emphasis on one piece of clothing, making it stand out to establish a statement look. I guess this is where her accessories come in handy.
"I never work by set, nor do I work along the usual method of putting up a whole collection. Inspirations come in from left and right, and I make and upload whatever pops in my head. A simple pendant necklace takes 5 to 10 minutes to produce. A beaded chain necklace can be finished in 30 minutes. A sewn beaded necklace with an intricate design can take long hours."
Nevertheless, hard work and endurance paid off. Her wounded fingers have created masterpieces that graced newspapers and magazines.

Tina's accessories even graced the aisle of a friend's wedding. She dedicated one of her most elegant designs for her bestfriend's bridesmaids in a wedding back in January.
|Tina wore one of her hand-made earrings to her best friend's wedding.
"I don't have an assistant. I do everything on my own. What I do is fun and fulfilling, but it's also bloody laborious. This is the reason why I am taking baby steps in going all out with my accessory line."
"I dream of putting up my own store one day, but for now, I'm happy with my online store. I don't pay for extra fees and rent. I can take your store wherever I want and check on it 24/7."

Leighs Cockram JV scoops National Category Health win for Burwood Hospital Redevelopment15 May 2017
The Leighs Cockram JV team were thrilled when the Burwood Hospital Redevelopment project, part of the largest and most complex hospital building project in the history of New Zealand's public health service, won the National Category for Health at the 2017 NZ Commercial Project Awards in Auckland on Friday 12th May.
The works were undertaken within the campus of an already busy existing hospital facility, in which the team ensured the continuity of the existing steam, water, waste, power, data and electrical services.
Leighs Construction teamed up with Australian-based Cockram Construction to deliver the projects as Leighs Cockram JV Ltd. The company was formed specifically to tender the project, and was shortlisted because of its local and overseas experience and reputation for delivering high quality, large-scale building projects.
The building is home to the latest advances in aged health care, providing patients and staff with the technology and environment required for ensuring the highest level of care is provided now and into the future. Included in the 32,000m2 project are three, three-storey ward blocks that provide accommodation for up to 230 patients; clinical support services such as radiology and pharmacy; an outpatient clinic that will cater for about 80,000 people each year; and general service spaces such as kitchen, plant room and loading areas.
Leighs Cockram JV is presently delivering the University of Otago Dental School redevelopment, and is preferred ECI contractor for the Metro Sports Facility in Christchurch.

Sony seemed to do it the best by keeping it slightly skinned stock android and still stable, fast, smooth, and just an interactive UI. Google's stock android should be an advantage, so what's up with these issues Google? Samsung better not give us Nougat OS issues or else I'll stay from updating to Nougat

Are you reading this, bundled in comfy yoga pants and warm snugly boots?
Are you sipping hot tea by your handsome honey-love?
Are you watching Sunday night football, cheering on your favorite team?
Is the back screen door open, letting the cool Fall air circulate through the house?
Ahhh, I hope so!
Well, this past weekend we tried to take some FALL pictures.
Kie, who I had to wake early from his nap--was not having it.
Does anyone else have a crazy, bi-polar-ish two year old?
I mean, the boy is turning THREE in a WEEK....
But, I hear the 'horrible two's' go to three...soooo, yay for that!
Anyway, Kie wouldn't smile so I got what I can.
And yes, I did bribe him with everything under the sun. (JUDGE ME!) But it didn't change a thing.
Who would think that I'd have a hard-headed baby?
Anyway, here is an overload of un-edited pictures.
It's real life-NO FILTER :)
Ps, Kix re-enacted the PUMPKIN pictures that Kie took two years ago (btw it was to the date, which I didn't plan that it just happened!) Anyway--there are a lot but they all make me smile because Kix is such a sweet baby and he loved the pumpkins. So I hope you enjoy them as well!
Happy Fall Y'all!!!

Slyib's Joke Vault
On their wedding night, the young bride approached her new husband and asked
for $20.00 for their first lovemaking encounter. In his highly aroused state, her husband readily agreed.
This scenario was repeated each time they made love, for more than 30 years,
with him thinking that it was a cute way for her to afford new clothes and other incidentals
that she needed.
Arriving home around noon one day, she was surprised to find her husband at
home in a very drunken state. Over the the next few minutes, he explained that his employer was going
through a process of corporate downsizing, and he had been let go.
As it was unlikely that, at age 59, he'd be able to find another job that paid anywhere near what he'd been earning,
they were facing financial ruin.
Calmly, his wife handed him a bank book that showed more than thirty years of steady deposits and interest
and a balance of nearly $1 million.
Then she showed him certificates of deposit issued by the bank that were
worth over $2 million, and informed him that they were one of the largest depositors at the bank.
She explained that for the more than three decades she had "charged" him for sex, she had saved the money each time
and these were the results of her savings and investments.
Faced with evidence of cash and investments worth over $3 million, her husband was so astounded
he could barely speak, but finally he found his voice and blurted out,
"If I'd had any idea what you were doing, I would have given you all my business!"
That's when she shot him.
Moral: Men just don't know when to keep their mouths shut after a few drinks.

Psoriasis is a chronic skin disorder, which originates from Greek word meaning itch. The majority of the patients with psoriasis endures for the extended duration if not treated correctly. The skin becomes inflamed with red eruptions, which itches extensively. Silvery scales that color off scratching cover the red eruptions.
Most commonly affected parts of the body are elbows, knees, scalp, lower back, palms, and soles of the feet. However, it can cover each and every area of the body such as the genital area. It might also impact the finger and toenails.
In a few instances, joint inflammation that produces arthritis symptoms is noted. This condition is called psoriatic arthritis.
Psoriasis is categorized as mild, moderate, or severe, based on the percentage of body surface involved. A special note on scalp psoriasis is cited here as it's one of the frequent types of psoriasis and in comparison to other variants it's more challenging to treat.
An individual may present with just scalp psoriasis or skin and scalp psoriasis together. Many time it could be wrongly diagnosed with dandruff and handled for a long time before realizing it to be psoriasis.
If you want to get more brief info about psoriasis then you can click on this website http://www.healthyna.com/.
Scalp psoriasis symptoms:
It's differentiated in mild, moderate and severe categories.
Mild cases: It might be seen as dryness in the scalp and hair with scale formation as dandruff. Mild itching is not there.
The nearest differential diagnosis at this stage is seborrhea dermatitis. In seborrhea the scalp is oily, and the dandruff is quite tacky, like sebum and yellow. Scalp psoriasis is dry, silvery and scaly.
Moderate instances: This phase develops a couple of years after the beginning of psoriasis. The scalp may show single or multiple patches of scales. The scales may be white or silvery, moderately thick. There might be more concentration behind the ears, temples, occipital and parietal areas.

Honourary Artistic Director: Cassandra Kanters
Artist: Derek Beaulieu
Athlete: Arianne Jones
By definition, art is the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power. More often than not, art is assumed to take shape with the strokes of a paintbrush, or the lines of a pencil.
Derek Beaulieu is breaking that mold. Using a dry-transfer lettering technique, he creates an energetic flow of letters that are released from the page to friskily dance across our vision in a way that reflects the speed and texture of 21st century reading. Done in a way that mimics the twists and curves of a luge track, Derek, Cassandra, and Arianne's helmet reflects the adventure of the sport of luge itself. Using his unique approach, Derek covered Arianne's helmet with phrases, names, times, and dates that are laden with personal meaning to both Arianne and Cassandra. One date specifically represents the day that Cassandra was airlifted to the Alberta Children's Hospital by STARS Air Ambulance after landing head first on the frozen ground. What started as an ordinary day playing on the playground ended with Cassandra being diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury. Spending time with Arianne has helped Cassandra cope with the constant pain and headaches she deals with on a daily basis.
What you may not know is that the technique of dry-transfer lettering requires the precise application of each letter by hand. Not only was each word, quote, sentence, name and number meticulously thought out, it was transferred onto the helmet letter-by-letter, in an effort to bring inspiration and moments of contemplation to Arianne, and for anyone lucky enough to spend a few minutes in reflective silence with the 21st Century Reading helmet.
When Arianne, Cassandra and Derek first met to brainstorm the helmet design, Arianne was battling through a very serious injury of her own. Earlier in the year, she hurt herself in training, and was sidelined with stress fractures in her spine. During this tough and challenging time, she was fortunate enough to be surrounded by a core group of individuals that had a positive impact on her healing process. When the opportunity arose to be apart of this campaign, Arianne jumped on the opportunity to be a positive mentor for Cassandra and to help share some of her insight with dealing with setbacks.
Interestingly enough, Arianne feels like she learned just as much from getting to know Cassandra as Cassandra learned from her. During the process, it wasn't uncommon for the two girls to go for ice cream to chat not only about the helmet design, but also the struggles they were both facing with their injuries.
For Arianne, this project means more to her than she may let on. When she climbed onto her sled in Calgary and launched herself onto the track, it was her first race back since fracturing her spine on June 18, 2015. Needless to say, standing on top of the podium signified that her road back to the top was complete.
Derek's untraditional style may not perfectly fit the art mold, but the ability of the 21st Century Reading helmet to inspire and invoke emotional power surly does.

The question is, said Humpty Dumpty, which is to be master — that's all.

Controversy Corner
Now, for your edification and especially your criticism, my ordered list of The Top 10 Chess Players of All Time, using the following criteria: 1) Their accomplishments as players, that is, results in tournaments and matches; 2) Relative dominance over their contemporaries for at least a few years; 3) Longevity at the top; 4) Advancement of the art of chess through the example of their play. That these criteria are based partly on subjective judgment makes it all the more fun to debate, of course. How to compare different eras? Subjective!
Other notes--I considered leaving off players who are still active, but a couple deserve to be on here just for what they've done so far, so they might move up over the coming years. I also considered a brief paragraph of justification for the inclusion of and order of the players, but it's more fun if you have to speculate about my reasons and provide your own when telling me how full of it I am. So, here is the bare list:
1. Kasparov
2. Capablanca
3. Karpov
4. Fischer
5. Alekhine
6. Botvinnik
7. Lasker
8. Tal
9. Kramnik
10. Anand
Please share your differences in the comments!
(ADDENDUM: I understand Fischer has passed away, the news is all over the MSM and chess blogosphere; I'm saddened that he's dead, of course, and also that much of his titanic talent and intellect seemingly went to waste over the last three decades).

Hi Robert, here's my list, which doesn't differ too much from your own:
1. Kasparov
2. Karpov
3. Fischer
4. Capablanca
5. Botvinnik
6. Alekhin
7. Reshevsky
8. Lasker
9. Morphy
10. Rubinstein

I noticed Im not on the list, Just wondering how did you do against your dentist.
- January 18, 2008 7:43 PM
Kramnik and Anand? While very good players of course, they can't be top 10! They haven't all that dominant in our time like others have been in theirs.
I really don't know enough to make a top 10 list; but a few names that might be better than those two are Morphy, Bronstein, and Petrosian.
- January 19, 2008 5:38 PM
- Naisortep said...
Steinitz should be on the list. He won matches against the best players of his time by dominant scores, was arguably the best player from 1866-1896, and is credited by Lasker and others with laying down the laws of modern chess.

- Pawn Shaman said...
I would move Botvinnik further up for his role as a great mentor and teacher.
Where did you visit when you came to Flag?
- January 20, 2008 9:04 AM
Your list will be fine as long as Fischer is no 1 followed by Kasparov. Fischer is really the King of the 64 squares.
- January 21, 2008 12:37 PM
- drunknknite said...
I'm going to go ahead and say that Carlsen is the best player of all time and will eclipse all of the aforementioned stars in the coming years. And that's after his brutal loss to Leko in a drawn position yesterday and his near loss to Van Wely today.
But in reality the debate between players of different generations is one that can never be resolved. I do however agree strongly with LEP that Petrosian and Bronstein should be included in the discussion before Anand (Kramnik is debatable as he seems to have proven himself over the last 7 years).
- January 23, 2008 4:38 PM
Here is my list:
1. Garry Kasparov
2. Bobby Fischer
3. Jose Raul Capablanca
4. Anatoly Karpov
5. Mikhail Botvinnik
6. Alexander Alekhine
7. Emanuel Lasker
8. Paul Morphy
9. Vladimir Kramnik
10.Wilhelm Steinitz
I know that there are many outstanding players who remained outside of this list. For example, Tal, Bronstein, Keres, Reshevsky, Najdorf, Smyslov, Spassky,Rubinstein, Staunton, Shirov, Anand, Petrosian, Nimzovich so many. And there are players whose style I dont like like: Wilhelm Steinitz, Karpov and Botvinnik. But when one considers all the aspect - especially their finest contribution through which chess as a whole improved - I had pretty much obvious choice. These are the players whose style - whatever you call it was standalone and was one of a kind. And they all dominated and ruled the chess world by their strenght and their efforts. So this is pretty much I wanted to share...

On Day 23 of The Poetry School's NaPoWriMo prompts, It's All In Your Head.
Julia says says that poetry is supposed to be i) read aloud and ii) memorable. Bearing that in mind, she would like us to explore a compositional process that forces us to actually speak the words we're crafting and make sure they stick in our heads.
So, for today's task, she would like us to not put pen to paper. We should compose in our heads, or aloud – nowhere near a pen, pencil or computer. She suggests we go for a walk, take a long bath, sit in the library, garden or park – or just let our minds wander over the hoovering.
We mustn't set pen to paper, or finger to keyboard, until poems are perfect and whole in our heads. She warns that it'll be indescribably tempting to rush to a notepad as soon as we get a good line in our heads – we must resist this urge!

text: Why play here? It may not be the longest course in Wales, but moorland Mountain Ash packs plenty of challenge into its less than 6000-yard length. The short par-three 7th is a good example, requiring a tough uphill shot to a green located at the course's highest point. There are long holes too, like the 516-yard, par-five 18th. A good drive down the left hand side gives you the chance to make the green in two, but beware of the card wrecking out of bounds lying close by. Did you know? Mountain Ash has a complicated history. It began life as a nine-holer called Aberdare Valley Golf Club, expanding to 12 holes, then 20, before dropping two to its current 18-hole layout. It also changed its name to Mountain Ash just after the Second World War, thereby reducing confusion with the similarly named Aberdare Golf Club. Got that? Good. What the players say 'Mountain Ash surprised me. It may not be long but its hilly terrain makes golfing tricky. Be prepared from some ups and downs along the way, but make sure you drink in the valley views from the high points of the course. I'd play here again…I enjoyed it.' www.top100golfcourses.co.uk Off the course Saddle up for a ride at Bike Park Wales the latest addition to Wales's stellar cycling scene.

Correlates of HIV Risk Among Injecting Drug Users in Sixteen Ukrainian Cities
- 262 Downloads
- Citations
We present findings from a HIV survey using respondent driven sampling among 3,711 injecting drug users (IDUs) in 16 cities in Ukraine in 2008. Eligible participants were males and females who injected drugs in the past 1 month, ≥16 years and lived/worked in their respective interview area. The impact of injecting and sexual risk behaviors on HIV-infection were analyzed using four logistic models. Overall HIV prevalence was 32%. In the sexual risk model, paying for sex in the past 3 months and condom use during last sex increased the odds of HIV infection. Being female, having greater than 3 years of injection drug use, always sharing equipment and using alcohol with drugs in the past month remained significant in all four models. These findings indicate the urgent need to scale up peer education, needle exchange and methadone substitution programs for IDUs with specific programs targeting the needs of female injectors

More than 140 performers, some as young as three, are taking part in an annual dance festival in Rugby next weekend.
The Show of 2005 is being staged at the Benn Hall, in Newbold Road, from 7pm on Friday, April 15, and Saturday, April 16.
It has been organised by Jaide Ellery, 18, who runs her own dance studios at the Somers Road industrial park in the town.
She said: "Where previously we performed mainly street dance and songs, this year we have concentrated on a range of specialised classes such as ballet, tap, modern, gymnastics, Latin American, break-dancing and body-popping.
"We also have a new drama and musical theatre class which will be performing in public for the very first time with a scene from the West End musical of Oliver!"
The show opens with a spectacular dance number, All That Jazz, and ends with a remix of Michael Jackson songs. Tickets for the event, which include a bar and a disco, are £6 each and are available from 01788 562729, or by calling into the studios in Upton Road on Sunday, or evenings after 5.30pm.

Intents are often used to trigger the start of an activity, but you can also set up BroadcastReceivers to listen to global intents which are somewhat like global events.
Examples of such events can be user connecting/disconnecting the headphone or, as the title of this blog, detect when an internet connection is established.
In this example, I start a service when the internet connection is connected. This service does the heavy lifting of logic since broadcast receivers are meant to be very quick, otherwise you'll get system lockups.
Also, services are handy because users would definitely find it annoying if you started a full-screen Activity every time they connected to the internet.
In your manifest file, under the application element add in:
<receiver android:name=".InternetConnectionReceiver" >
<action android:name="android.net.wifi.STATE_CHANGE" />
<action android:name="android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE" />
This will trigger the InternetConnectionReceiver class whenever these intents are detected.
Now for your broadcast receiver.
public class InternetConnectionReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// Make sure it's an event we're listening for ...
if (!intent.getAction().equals(WifiManager.NETWORK_STATE_CHANGED_ACTION) &&
!intent.getAction().equals(ConnectivityManager.CONNECTIVITY_ACTION) &&
ConnectivityManager cm = ((ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE));
if (cm == null) {
// Now to check if we're actually connected
if (cm.getActiveNetworkInfo() != null && cm.getActiveNetworkInfo().isConnected()) {
// Start the service to do our thing
Intent pushIntent = new Intent(context, ContentCheckService.class);
Toast.makeText(context, "Start service", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
In this case it starts a service called ContentCheckService. You can write whatever code you want in there, but I've added an example of a Toast notification so you can easily check if your broadcast receiver is working properly.
Keep the onReceive() call short! According to the BroadcastReiver docs, you only get 10 seconds before it's killed. This is because it runs on the main thread. Palm it off to a service thread as soon as possible!
More on writing services here.
Now that's what I call service!

The 2014 Long Shadows 'Pedestal' is a stunning effort from this incredible winery who teamed up with world renown oenologist and consultant Michel Rolland to make this wonderful blend of 81% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Cabernet, with the remainder Malbec and Petit Verdot. The wine was aged in 85% new French oak for 22 months prior to bottling and was primarily sourced from the Conner Lee Vineyard, while the Cabernet is sourced from the Tapteil Vineyard. It opens with aromatics of black tea, coffee grounds, milk chocolate and suggestions of candied red cherries. There are dense, concentrated flavors of black cherries, blackberry cobbler, black tea, anise and crème de cassis. The texture is absolutely gorgeous as the flavors continue to linger on and on. If approaching this young, it would be best to allow for least an hour of air contact. (Best 2017-2035) - November, 2016 (OB)

The second vinyl LP from Arkansas' stone-cold drone king Pink Priest is two 18-minute slabs of textural exploration, levitating tones, and implied melody. This music video for the entire A side of Swallow Your Dreams is like the dreams of a TV set left on overnight. Pieces of flipped channels, flickering color forms, slow frames moving in and out half-superimposed, pictures of domesticity contrasted with vast expanses of nature that could be the b-roll from a Nova special, weird fragments, all smashed together and dipped in some kind of static video buzz; dripping with atmosphere, virtuously boring and beautiful. William Cody Watson of PP says the album is about "the end of certain things, but also a realization of reconstruction, hope, decay, balance, and progression." Pre-order it from French label La Station Radar.

For immediate release
Release of Reports Marks International Day of Disabled Persons
Health and Social Services
The report, prepared by the Canadian Council on Social Development, was commissioned by the ministers in order to acquire a high-level national picture of the extent to which the needs of Canadians with disabilities are met. Data from Statistics Canadas Participation and Activities Limitation Survey 2001 was used as the basis of the report.
By providing a more comprehensive understanding of the problems people face accessing disability supports, the report will assist in the development of a longer-term strategy on disability investments. Federal, provincial and territorial ministers have agreed to collaborate and continue to work in partnership with the disability community.
Disability supports consist of the aids, devices and personal services that help people living with disability to actively participate at home, at work, at school and in their communities. The ministers recognize the importance of disability supports as a key building block of the full citizenship of people with disabilities.
The report reaffirms the commitment of ministers responsible for social services to work toward ensuring that people with disabilities can fully participate in all aspects of Canadian society, Health and Social Services Minister Chester Gillan said.
The Department of Health and Social Services also marked International Day of Disabled Persons with the release of the Prince Edward Island Baseline Report 2004-2005 for the Multilateral Framework for Labour Market Agreements for Persons with Disabilities.
The Labour Market Agreement for Persons with Disabilities reaffirms the commitment of the provincial government and federal government to work towards ensuring Islanders with disabilities can participate successfully in the labour market. The report describes the provinces programs and services which will be funded under the Labour Market Agreement for Persons with Disabilities to help persons with disabilities integrate into the workplace. Provincial objectives, program descriptions, target populations and planned expenditures intended to increase employment opportunities and enhance the employability of Islanders with disabilities are outlined in the report.
These two reports will provide government and non-government organizations with valuable information about what supports we currently have, and where to go from here, the minister explained.
The Supports and Services for Adults and Children aged 5-14 with Disabilities in Canada: An Analysis of Data on Needs and Gaps report is available on the Social Union Framework Agreement Web site at http://socialunion.gc.ca or through a link on the provincial government Web site at www.gov.pe.ca/go/dsp. The Prince Edward Island Baseline Report 2004-2005 for the Multilateral Framework for Labour Market Agreements for Persons with Disabilities is now available on the provincial government Web site at www.gov.pe.ca/go/dsp.

It's the day after a big Star Wars release, so naturally I have a Star Wars review, about a story set in the early days surrounding the original movie, just like you'd expect me to have. Oh, wait, haha no, I haven't actually gone to see any movie yet. Probably later this weekend? But my schedule, my wife's schedule, and sellouts to places that have assigned seats conspired to keep me away last night. Even less likely than that, I wasn't really thinking about this being release weekend when I picked up Choices of One to read last week.
This Zahn novel is set between A New Hope and the Empire Strikes Back, and stars the big four plus also Mara Jade, Thrawn, and Pellaeon (and, oddly, no droids). The rebels are looking for a new base (which is commonly understood to be the only thing they did between those movies), Jade is looking for traitors, and Thrawn is looking for, um, I dunno. This is clearly a book introducing some long term Unknown Regions / Thrawn plot that will never reach fruition under the Star Wars Legends label, despite the foreshadowing provided here. Anyway, they all intersect out near the edge of known space, when plot involving air battles, gun battles, laser sword battles, and familiar stormtroopers occurs.
I know I'm being glib here, as a way to avoid spoilers. So, in all seriousness: it is no surprise that Zahn still knows how to write Star Wars, and I look forward to some decades distant day when Will and Zeynep go through this book in far more depth than I have or could do.

So I finally got a Wii, after months of searching! I've been randomly going to Best Buy, Fred Meyer, and just about any other place that sells Wiis, hoping they recently had a shipment so that I could pick one up. Finally, after calling Freddies every day for a week, I got the inside scoop and bought one last Monday.
I'm very happy with my purchase. It was $250, which is a great price considering the demand is still insanely high. I also bought a charger dock that cost about $38, and I bought Mario Kart.
It was a great purchase, and came with a free steering wheel that the controller hooks into. It's a lot of fun and cool to play with friends. I only wish I had a bigger TV to truly enjoy multiplayer.
After buying Mario Kart, I decided I needed another game and bought Tiger Woods Golf '08. Even though the new one is coming out in August, I couldn't wait so I bought this one. It is a lot harder than the Wii Golf, but so much more fun and in depth.
I never thought I'd be considered a gamer, but the Wii has me entranced in all things game related. I don't think I'll ever buy a Playstation or Xbox, but spending a couple hundred of my tax rebate on a Wii was a great investment. Next stop, Plasma TV!

The more connected we are, the less connected we become. Really, I think it's true! Less connected to sounds, sights, smells, the feel of the wind, the touch of a hand, the taste of an apple. We are constantly barraged by interruptions – email, texts, tweets, pings, pokes – you name it – lots of digital noise that "keeps us connected". Yeah, maybe, but connected to what? Does it really matter what's trending? #Idontcare!
I feel we are losing touch with the world around us, spending more time chatting and less time really listening to each other in any meaningful way. Call me an anachronistic throwback, and maybe I am, but I miss the days when if you were not home and the phone rang you couldn't be reached. I can even remember a time before answering machines, so if you were not home you…gasp….didn't even get a message. Did the world fall apart? No, and a lot more people had dinner together and actually talked to each other, rather than listening with half of their mind while the other half paid attention to a smart phone.
Ok, what prompted this nostalgic rant? I just got back from 2 days spent all alone in a cabin in the Methow Valley. No internet, no TV, and no cell phone service. (I can feel my friend Jeff (Jeff Wendorff)breaking out in a cold sweat just thinking about this!). At first, disconnecting can be a bit unnerving, as we have all gotten a bit too used to our electronic tethers. There is a bit of panic when you realize that you can't answer that urgent email, or download the latest greatest Youtube video, but then you adjust, you relax, and you begin to feel an odd tickling sensation. You know what that sensation is? It's freedom. And damn that freedom feels good! Suddenly your time, your mind and your attention are your own.
You know what I did, all alone with my dog, on a wet November afternoon? I walked in a meadow. Just walked. Left my phone behind, left behind all anticipation of a call or text message. I went for a wander with no time frame and no destination in mind. I simply let my heart beat – let my lungs breathe fresh air. I was able to smell the wet grass and the impending snow storm. I followed my dog's happy nose as we tracked deer prints in the mud. I stopped a while in a grove of quaking aspen and listened as the wind and rain rustled through the last remaining of the now grey leaves. I wondered silently if perhaps as the phones get smarter do we get dumber; are we trading away something precious and elemental, our animal natures, our connection to the wild, to the seasons, to our senses?
Unplugged at last, I was able to remember why I pursued nature photography in the first place – not for the love of LightRoom, but for love of nature! To go outside and use my camera to see more clearly, to be more present and more connected. Lately, I have been suffering from pixel and digital overload. I have also been suffering from constant connection ADD. If I am writing, I am interrupted with little dings of text or email. If I am reading, my phone talks to me to remind me to pick up my son from soccer (this, I must confess I really need, as I have left him alone and cold on many a field). Taking a walk, my husband texts me when dinner is ready. So much for quiet contemplation. So much for reading Tolstoy, it's all LOL, Bcuz, C ya, and 10/4 24/7.
So what to do if you can not run away to a little cabin in the woods? Give yourself a mini- break. Turn off the alert on your phone, or turn the darn thing completely off – especially when talking to someone – and listen to them, really listen, with your whole self. That basketball score can wait. Close the laptop, putdown the iPad, and take a walk. Look at a tree or bird, or just do nothing, watch the clouds go by, listen to the wind. I found it to be wonderful and restorative, and a great thing to do before the onslaught of the "Holiday Season". So wanting to share my joy, I encourage you to disconnect a bit more from your devices, and connect a bit more with the natural world and people around you. Your life will be richer for it. So in that spirit I bid you adeiu, it's time for dinner and unfortunately I just received a text that tonight I am expected to cook it!!!
