Of all the commemorations marking this month's 70th anniversary of the Second World War's most famous bombing raid, it is perhaps the most poignant.
A new plaque has been unveiled in a German field where one of the Dambuster bombers crashed, with the loss of all seven men on-board.
The memorial has been installed by a local historian who located the crash site as part of his research into the fate of the aircraft, AJ-E....

Bruins' Diestch named Central Division Star of the WeekPublished 6:23pm Monday, January 27, 2014
Austin forward Luke Diestch was selected Central Division Star of the Week recently.
It was two more wins and a weekend home-and-home sweep for the Austin Bruins this past weekend against the Brookings Blizzard Dietsch, 19, was at the forefront. The native of St. Paul, Minnesota had four points in the two wins as the Bruins increased their Central Division lead to five points. On Friday, Dietsch had two goals, including the game-winner, and an assist in a 5-4 win. On Saturday, he assisted on the game-tying goal as Austin came from behind in a 3-2 win. For the season, Deitsch is fourth in team scoring with 26 points in 38 games played.
"Luke has found a home in the front of the net and he has had success there," said Bruins head coach Chris Tok. It is not an easy job and not many players are willing to pay the price and make the sacrifices that Luke has to stand in front and take the punishment in order to make sure the team succeeds."

The Italians succumbed to a damaging first leg defeat that renders their chances of progress to the Champions League semi finals very difficult.
"I'm sorry I made so many mistakes but we still have a return match," Pirlo told Italian media. "We will analyse this defeat and draw some conclusions. Bayern have shown today that they are a stronger team than us."

I can already see it so clearly, and because we're talking about Bud Selig and everything he touches turns to smegma, it's all but certain that this vision will become a reality.
In this case, it's early in the 2014 baseball season. A Saturday afternoon or (more likely) a Sunday night. Either way, it's national TV. Maybe Orioles at Red Sox on April 20? OK, let's go with that.
So, it's the eighth inning. Score is tied. There are two outs with Baltimore's Chris Davis on second base and Matt Wieters at the plate. Wieters lines a single down the right field line. Shane Victorino runs over, fields it cleanly (as Davis is rounding third) and fires a bullet to the plate.
The ball hits A.J. Pierzynski's glove with Davis still two steps away, but obviously running at full speed. Pierzynski's turns and blocks the plate. Their eyes meet, they brace for a collision and then suddenly, they both realize:
In a split second, they both — Davis, more so — try to adjust and avoid what they believe might qualify as illegal contact and instead get tangled in an awkward heap. They both hit the ground, and Davis is now writhing in pain, holding his knee. He finally gets up, limps into the dugout and onto the DL.
The next morning, talking heads, nationwide, are squawking about that "stupid rule."
That rule — which was announced yesterday— is called rule 7.13, and it states that "a runner attempting to score may not deviate from his direct pathway to the plate in order to initiate contact with the catcher (or other player covering home plate). A runner violating the rule shall be declared out, even if the fielder drops the ball."
According to the agreement between MLB and its players, "the failure by the runner to make an effort to touch the plate, the runner's lowering of the shoulder, or the runner's pushing through with his hands, elbows or arms, would support a determination that the runner deviated from the pathway in order to initiate contact with the catcher in violation."
Long story short, plowing over the catcher is pretty much illegal. It seems like the only way a player can get away with it is if he runs into the catcher with his body completely upright and his arms by his side. Like a bowling pin running into a bowling ball. And that won't work.
So, basically this creates a scenario where the runner will pretty much be looking to avoid contact. He'll be looking to slide. And if there is contact, the catcher will never be blindsided. He'll have to first consciously position himself in front of the plate or chase a throw down the line. In other words, this is a good thing. A very good thing.
Of course, there is that indecision. There will be judgment calls that need to be made, and unfortunately, judgment calls aren't necessarily a strength of Major League umpires. There will be some confusion. There will be some drama. There maybe be a play or two like the one I depicted earlier, where players are looking to avoid the more serious injury and end up hurting themselves a different way. Along the same lines of defensive backs starting to target knees because they can no longer target heads.
But above all else, the most important takeaway of this new rule is that there will be no more of this.
Check out that video if you didn't. It's ESPN's Top 5 Home Plate Collisions, and while they're a lot of fun to watch, they're pretty stupid and pointless. All it does is leave catchers to serious and unnecessary injuries.
Bottom line: Just because a catcher is wearing a flimsy chest pad and shin guards doesn't mean he's protected. Especially when he's not looking, and/or on his back heels and has a juiced up monster lining him up from 90 feet away. That's not fair. That's not baseball. And now, it officially isn't.
That's thanks to rule 7.13. It's not a perfect rule. And with Selig attached, you know it will find some controversy. Or more, controversy will find it.
But in the end, there's no question that it makes the game better and safer.
It's definitely the right move.

Veritas – Harness the Power of Information
Ian Wood, Director of Solution Marketing, EMEA
Oct 6 2015
31 mins
Companies everywhere are drowning in data. They are collecting more of it, and at an accelerated pace, while at the same time depending on it more than they have before. Data centers are being constructed around the world to house all this information, but research shows that more than two-thirds of what is being kept is worthless.
That's where Veritas comes in.
The demand for our information management services has never been higher, as there will be more than 44 zettabytes of data in the world by 2020. Using current approaches, IT organizations will be incapable of managing that data – they don't have the financial or human resources. At Veritas, our business is structured on addressing this issue. We are focused on helping companies harness the power of their information – wherever it resides – by driving availability and revealing insights across heterogeneous environments.
Join this webcast to learn more about the Veritas vision, where an information-centric approach is taken over infrastructure-centric and we explain our three core beliefs;
• More data does not deliver more value
• Infrastructure availability does not mean application availability
• Not all data is created equal

Hell's Kitchen High Rise Inferno Sparks Proposal Of New Safety Legislation
New York, NY - Evacuating a residential high-rise building in an emergency can pose serious threats to the safety and lives of residents. On Jan. 5, 2014, a three-alarm fire caused panic among residents of 500 West 43rd Street when flames shot out of a 20th floor apartment. Heavy smoke quickly filled an emergency stairwell, which claimed the life of 27-year-old Daniel McClung and critically injured his 32-year-old husband Michael Todd Cohen.
Daniel McClung's tragic death was preventable. Had there been a system in place to communicate with building residents in emergency stairwells, instructions could have been given to tell residents to use different stairwells or go back into their homes - to "stay or go." Intuition tells us to leave our apartments during a fire, but not everyone knows if they live in a fireproof building. An emergency communication system in stairwells allows critical real-time information to be communicated during a fire.
"My boys are the injured and deceased men. We need better safety rules so this will never happen again," said Randi Cohen of Swampscott, MA, and mother of Michael Todd Cohen, whose husband died while trying to escape the building.
In response to an online petition and a groundswell of support from the community, Council Member Corey Johnson is proposing legislation that would ensure first responders and building managers have the means to communicate with residents during emergencies which would help save lives.
"The tragic death at The Strand was entirely preventable," said Councilmember Corey Johnson. "The legislation I'm proposing will require buildings higher than six stories to have Emergency Communication Systems in stairwells, which could inform residents to either 'stay or go,'" Johnson added.
In December 1998, two high-profile high-rise fires prompted the passage of LL10-1999 requiring sprinklers to be installed in all new high-rise construction and buildings undergoing significant renovation of 50% or greater. A taskforce report was issued in 1999 by former FDNY Commissioner Thomas Von Essen, which said that sprinklers should be required in all new residential buildings, including one- and two-family homes, and in buildings undergoing renovations costing 30 percent or more of their value. It also recommended requiring owners of existing buildings over six stories to install public-address systems.

Rated 3.1 out of 5�by 33 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by jondalar works very well This product protects both my canoe and car, it is very simple to use and a great value for the price. March 6, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by elle Works very well! This product did exactly what it was supposed to do- the straps and metal loops are higher-than-average quality which was a nice surprise. Kept my new-used canoe on tightly through some God-awful Michigan back roads! August 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Canoe Kat These foam blocks really worked! I was not anxious to transport an aluminum canoe on my car, but this kit was great! It included straps that cinched up tight. I drove on the interstate with the canoe, and had no movement of the canoe. July 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Fishing Papaw Great I bought this item for the GREAT deal I got on a fishing boat. I still can't believe I got such a good bargain from your store. I thank you and will recommend your store to everyone. June 4, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by water man you get what you pay for The system stays in place by flat nylon straps through the inside of the car and the doors hold them in place. You can not go over about 40 and you can only go a few miles. So if you want to go more than out of the parking lot, pay for better. June 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Newman canoe rack Shade my car roof. These work great and make transporting the canoe easy. June 3, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5�by VinnieTrue This product performed poorly Foam ripped easily doesn't fit all types of racks! February 25, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by Mary Yakima Standard Foam BLock canoe Rack I wish I wouldn't have spent the money on this product. The foam block split apart the first time I used it. I ended up buying a "real" canoe rack. This was a waste of money. February 17, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by reva Blocks do not fit standard roof top racks very well The blocks are not made to fit standard roof top carriers very well. I would not spend the money on these again. February 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Dustin Great Product! I used this for 4 days transporting a 16 ft Old Town Guide Canoe back and forth to the river. Every Day I was on the interstate doing 70+. I had full confidence in this rig. What a good and cheap solution to hauling a canoe with a car! I drive a Truck normally, but we traveled 14 hours to get to out location so gas wise it was easier to drive a car up and borrow a friends canoe for the trip. We were just very impressed with it! Takes 10 minutes to get everything right. September 10, 2013

Been waiting for this train to come
Could be an hour or maybe some
Don't want to be here anymore
Do you have any idea
How long I've waited for this train
Picking up people along the way
A roller coaster another day
Climb aboard and slam the door
Don't want to be tied here anymore
Oh and it makes me wonder
Oh and it makes me wonder
If you need it if you don't
Could you leave it all to be alone
And it makes me wonder
Been waiting for this day too long
Looking for somewhere to run
Taking a ticket the other way
You better make up your mind
If you go or if you stay

The MURI program is enabling Zhang's group to accelerate its work by teaming with David Smith, a professor in the Department of Physics in ASU's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and Shane Johnson, a senior research scientist in the ASU's engineering schools.
The team is using a combination of indium arsenide and indium arsenide antimonide to build the superlattice structures. The combination allows devices to generate photo electrons necessary to provide infrared signal detection and imaging, says Elizabeth Steenbergen, an electrical engineering doctoral student who performed experiments on the supperlattice materials with collaborators at the Army Research Lab.
"In a photodetector, light creates electrons. Electrons emerge from the photodetector as electrical current. We read the magnitude of this current to measure infrared light intensity," she says.
"In this chain, we want all of the electrons to be collected from the detector as efficiently as possible. But sometimes these electrons get lost inside the device and are never collected," says team member Orkun Cellek, an electrical engineering postdoctoral research associate.
Zhang says the team's use of the new materials is reducing this loss of optically excited electrons, which increases the electrons' carrier lifetime by more than 10 times what has been achieved by other combinations of materials traditionally used in the technology. Carrier lifetime is a key parameter that has limited detector efficiency in the past.
Another advantage is that infrared photodetectors made from these superlattice materials don't need as much cooling. Such devices are cooled as a way of reducing the amount of unwanted current inside the devices that can "bu

My wife and I were in desperate need of a weekend getaway together. I had spent a weekend at the Wilson Lodge previously on a golf trip with friends and thought my wife would enjoy the experience. The lodge has a luxurious spa and great pool and fitness center. We enjoyed the Dinning room and the Lounge very much. The staff was very pleasant and the atmosphere was excellent. The upkeep of this resort is exceptional, especially for such a large establishment.
Our package came with free breakfast buffet and it certainly was more than what most of us are used to as a free "breakfast". A chef to prepare made to order omelets and waffles, a spread of everything from healthy breakfast to the delicious assortment of breakfast meats and specialty dishes.
The resort has many beautiful golf courses and other great mountain side scenic opportunities.
The cost is a little more than we usually pay for a normal hotel room but the atmosphere and the treatment we received more than made up the difference.
Overall it was a great weekend which helped us both to relax and enjoy each others company.

I don't believe in waiting 3 days to call you after a date if we had a great time, i don't play that game. I'll probably text you on my drive home. I enjoy doing lots of things: going to the movies, a good meal, mini golf, the beach, a low key bar or lounge, and a good book are among the top of my list. Anything out doors is always a lot of fun! I like to be the big spoon, and on very rare occasions perhaps even the little spoon. Maybe i shouldn't have written that?!? lol

American photojournalist James Foley was shown this week to be executed by Islamic State fighters, and while heartbreak and outrage have been the strongest reactions to the tragic news, Mr. Foley's faith has emerged as a source of comfort.
Marquette University this week posted to its website a letter from Mr. Foley — a 1996 graduate — titled "Phone call home." It recounts his time in captivity in Tripoli, Libya, how he used prayer to meditate, and a phone call he made to his mother in which he learned that loved ones back home were praying for his safe return.
"I began to pray the rosary," he wrote. "It was what my mother and grandmother would have prayed. I said 10 Hail Marys between each Our Father. It took a long time, almost an hour to count 100 Hail Marys off on my knuckles. And it helped to keep my mind focused."
Mr. Foley's mother told her son that Marquette was holding a prayer vigil. Asked whether he could feel the prayers, Mr. Foley wrote, "I feel them."
"Maybe it was others' prayers strengthening me, keeping me afloat," he wrote. "If nothing else, prayer was the glue that enabled my freedom, an inner freedom first and later the miracle of being released during a war in which the regime had no real incentive to free us. It didn't make sense, but faith did."
The archbishop of Oklahoma City on Wednesday filed a lawsuit against a group of people planning a satanic Black Mass next month.
In documents filed with the District Court of Oklahoma City, Archbishop Paul S. Coakley has asked that the Dakhma of Angra Mainyu Syndicate return any and all portions of a consecrated host that reportedly is destined for desecration during the Mass.
"To Catholics, the consecrated host is the most sacred, respected, and revered thing in the world," court records state.
According to the Dakhma website, during Black Masses the host is "corrupted by sexual fluids then it becomes the sacrifice for the Mass." The Black Mass is a way to "receive a 'blessing' from the Devil," and the desecration is part of the ritual "to mock the Catholic Mass in the form of a blasphemy rite used to deprogram people from their Christian background."
An ice bucket and extra towels are about all you can expect to find in Travelodge hotel rooms. The company has announced it would be removing Bibles from the nightstands in its British locations.
"This decision was based on customer research and the fact that we live in a multicultural society," a Travelodge spokesman told The Huffington Post UK, adding that the Bibles would be available at front desks for visitors who request them.
The hotel chain said it had not received any complaints regarding the missing Bibles.
The Church of England voiced its discontent with the decision, saying it is "both tragic and bizarre that hotels would remove the word of God for the sake of ergonomic design, economic incentive or a spurious definition of the word 'diversity.'"

30 Actors and Actresses Poised for Stardom
You might not know their names now -- but you will. THR's sister publication Backstage debuts its inaugural list of the people on the verge of becoming stars.
Before Brad Pitt was, well, Brad Pitt, he was just an up-and-coming actor looking to make a name for himself.

22 January 2010, Johannesburg, South Africa: Jean Hugo, Darren Fichardt and Josh Cunliffe have qualified for the 2010 Open after taking the top three positions at International Final Qualifying – Africa at Royal Johannesburg and Kensington Golf Club in Johannesburg, South Africa, today. The South African trio will now look forward to taking their places at the 150th Anniversary Open Championship on 15-18 July in St Andrews.
With play having resumed on Friday after heavy rain had caused Thursday's play to be abandoned, first-round leader Jean Hugo, 34, recovered from three consecutive bogeys at the start of his second round to post a level-par 71 and finish tied-first on six under par.
Seven-time Sunshine Tour winner Hugo will now look forward to making his third Open Championship appearance – the first two coming in 1999 at Carnoustie and in 2001 at Royal Lytham & St Annes.
Joining him on six under was Darren Fichardt, who qualified for his fifth Open Championship with rounds of 67 and 69. 34-year-old Fichardt made three consecutive birdies on the seventh, eighth and ninth holes to claim the outright lead and, despite dropped shots on 10 and 11, he earned his Open chance in relative comfort, two strokes ahead of the field.
Fichardt, two-time winner on the European Tour, will return to St Andrews 10 years after making his Major Championship debut there in the 2000 – he subsequently played in 2002, 2004 and in 2008, when he qualified through IFQ – Africa at the same venue.
The final Open Championship berth was decided by a playoff between Cunliffe, fellow South African Oliver Bekker and the Netherlands' Joost Luiten. Cunliffe, who, like Fichardt, qualified for Royal Birkdale through IFQ – Africa in 2008, emerged with the place. He holed a 20-foot putt for eagle on the fourth extra hole, the 18th, after all three players made par, birdie, par on the first three.
The next International Final Qualifying event for The Open, IFQ – Asia, will take place at Saujana Golf and Country Club near Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 10 & 11 March.
The 2010 Open Championship will be held at St Andrews on 15-18 July.
Full hole-by-hole scores from IFQ – Africa are available on www.opengolf.com.

Re: The X-Files - First Time Watching
I actually added The Fall into my queue. Not sure when I will watch it, but it looks interesting, and it has Gillian Anderson. As for the movie you also mentioned, I might seek that out too but I'm just enjoying X-Files and I'm at the end of season 1 at the moment.
I think I've decided to discontinue reviewing every episode. For one, these episodes aired so long ago that people have probably forgotten about them but really I feel as if I'm just talking to myself in this thread. I'll talk about episodes that Really get me excited but I can say now the last three (Miracle Men, Shapes, and Darkness Falls) really haven't, at least not like EBE or Beyond the Sea. I might just highlight some episodes and talk about the season as a whole when I'm done with it. Suffice it to say, I've really been enjoying season 1 (Watching this along with Season 5 of TNG on Blu Ray) and look forward to what Season 2 has in store.

An exquisite blend, inspired by Dorset Cereals of the UK famed granola. This makes a noble cereal that tastes beautiful and looks gorgeous, packed up in cello bags and tied with a scarlet ribbon. Or use a huge Mason jar. Pack this in a basket with two Pier 1 bowls and the New York Times.
There are muffins with berries and muffins bursting with bouquets of berries - much like a patchwork quilt and just as country colorful, and charming. Here is an outstanding breakfast or coffee-time muffins that features a superb vanilla streusel topping. Filled to the brim with blackberries, raspberries, touches of cranberries and blueberries, this is a harvest treat.
This is Irish magic in a tea blend. It is loose tea, with some amazing touches that turn this into a beautiful gift or hostess tea (especially if you pack it with a soda bread). It starts with strong, pure Assam tea leaves and then…..The rest is a secret. If you can find longer or full leaf Assam (as opposed to the finer tea leaves), that is better.
This Czech pastry has many different names and many European bakers make a variation on this sour-cream dough, filled with fresh and beautiful apricot filling. You can use other fruit fillings but to me, apricot is the perfect match for this tender, buttery, sour cream dough. In my recipe archives, there is also a recipe for a yeasted kolache, if you prefer.
If you can't remember the last time you had this, it is time to make it again. Simple, nutritious, and gone in a flash. This is a nice, quick dessert and a perfect ending to a dinner of turkey chili and cornbread or a cheese omelet supper. Enjoy the mellow taste of apples, set in a caramelized foundation, and topped with a nutty, brown sugar and oatmeal crisp topping. This is also sublime with diced apricots or pears.
Great for waffles too, these are golden, crisp buttery corn pancakes that are wonderful with anything - eggs, syrup, bacon or Greek yogurt.
Fresh English muffins that you baked, and a tangy Hollandaise sauce makes this classic, well, classic. The one dish guaranteed to turn your home into a B&B.
Something to rise and shine for. Plump raisins, velvety white bread, traces of cinnamon. A small loaf but satisfying.

This neighbourhood trattoria, going strong for 20 years, is a family affair - in many ways, the fifth child of owners Robert and Lucia Martella. Regulars fill the varied rooms day and night, taking in the warm hospitality and Italian culture (antique posters, Claudio Villa's serenades and Fellini flicks on a screen behind the bar). The food follows suit: soups like mama makes, lively pastas and rich risottos. The long display case of antipasti - a cornucopia of salads and starters - is a highlight. Breads are baked on the premises - all the better for soaking up reasonably priced wines. The festivities continue well past suitable family hours.

Wow. #1 Agree(5) | Disagree(4) | Report | Reply Blacktric + 986d ago Not to mention his insist on using the "already moot for more than a year" hair argument. Lovely how these pals call themselves journalists... #1.1 Agree(8) | Disagree(4) | Report | Reply N4GDgAPc + 986d ago Back to what u said from my last post. "-four, five reviews give the game a 6 lol this idiot gave it a 6 WHO CARES?!" Sounded off when I said that but what I mean is who cares he didn't like the game. Who cares people scored it 9/10. Some liked it some didn't. Its an opinion. "He is stating his own "opinion", which he could've formed by; after watching the promotional material and/or played the demo on top of playing the game. And either of those are enough to have an "opinion" on the matter. You don't have to play the game to form an opinion and to voice it." True he has every right to give out an opinion. He can dislike the direction of the game. He can dislike everything about it. But when it comes down to it he can't give a full constructive review becasue he hasn't played the game. How they treat the new dante is based off of trailers and a demo which doesn't do it justice. He is only crude arrogant in the beginning of the game. He changes throughout the game. And Root I don't post on everyone that hates DmC. Just you and DragonKnight. Blacktric was more civilized on the matter. I agree 100% what he said. And Root your going to tell me not once have u attacked someone for liking the game? If you say no your in complete denial. Now you have every right to come in every DmC article and comment it. thats what its for. Just like I have every right to say what I want. Doesn't make someone a troll. And one thing you don't understand u say I keep attacking u because of your opinion. I never do. U can tell me from videos and a demo what part of the game u hate. But u don't have a full constructive opinion on what the hole game is. #1.1.1 Agree(2) | Disagree(1) | Report 360ICE + 986d ago It's not like he said "It's all about the hair", even though he went very far in saying that it's the thing that's most complained about. That's probably not true though, even if it has become the most apparent complaint. He could also tone down his voice a little. It wouldn't be annoying, if he hadn't Greg Millered it to the max. #1.1.2 Agree(0) | Disagree(1) | Report N4GDgAPc + 986d ago At the beginning it was all about the hair and him looking emo. But I think they changed enough of his face and hair so he doesn't look emo to me no more. But I know the hate goes in more than that now. It just a lot of people think its still the hair. #1.1.3 Agree(0) | Disagree(1) | Report Add comment You need to be registered to add comments.

About the ManufacturerThe Core-Tex™ is the only device on the market that allows for movement in all three planes of motion AND whose base translates at the same time. All other devices either work in all three planes on a fixed axis with no translation OR translate in only one plane (typically the frontal plane). The patented design of the Core-Tex™ allows the base to move like no other training environment. This allows for an almost infinite number of combination movements while working on the Core-Tex™.

If you live in an older house, you're probably dreading those major renovation projects your home so desperately needs. But you bite the bullet and push forward, knowing you'll enjoy it while you live there, or you'll get some payback when you sell your home. Chances are you're going to hire out the work. As one who has been there and done that many, many times, I know the pitfalls of working with contractors. Thus, I have established the following eight rules for anyone working on my house:
Rule # 1: You will be licensed and insured. This is really a no-brainer. A contractor who doesn't have a license probably does not have insurance, and having neither could be bad for you. Why? Legal ramifications of using unlicensed contractors aside, if they are injured on your property, you could be liable; and if they're not licensed, they probably don't do whatever you hired them to do for a living, so the likelihood that they (or the people they use to do the job) could be injured increases significantly.
Rule #2: You will show up on the day the job is supposed to start. This may sound like another no-brainer, but you would be surprised at the number of times I have taken a day off from work to have work done at my home only to spend the entire day waiting for the contractor to show up or find out that they are not coming at all. The excuses I get typically sound like something a high-school student might say:
"I had car trouble."
"I had to take my (insert kid, wife, dog) to the (insert doctor, hairdresser, veterinarian)."
"My mother got sick, and I had to take care of her."
Okay, I'll give them the one about their mother being sick. I wouldn't think of questioning that. But my favorite excuse for not showing up on the appointment day is "I got another job, so I have to reschedule you." Oh? I'm thinking. Don't you mean to say you got another customer who is more important than I am or is paying you more? Business must be very good if you can afford to lose a customer.
Rule #3: You will bring everything you need to do the job. No, you cannot borrow my ladder, screwdriver, drop cloths, broom, or old towels, and my dining room table is not a workbench. If you don't know what you need to get the job done and start asking me if you can borrow my stuff, I begin to wonder if I haven't made a mistake in hiring you. So either you bring everything you need to do the job or go out and buy it or hire it—and that includes helpers. I'm not there to help you—unless, of course, you want me to deduct my hourly rate from what I am paying you. I won't hold your ladder, hand you tools, or help you lift anything. That's why I am paying you.
Rule #4: There will be no "gotchas." This one goes hand in hand with Rule No. 3. So, you didn't bid enough (insert the things you had to buy to do the job, like paint, caulk, or dropcloths) and now you have to go buy some. Unless this was a time-and-materials job (and please note, I never hire anyone to do T&M unless it's something I absolutely, positively can't do myself), it's on your nickel. If you are a professional, you should know what and how much you need to do a job when you bid it.
Rule #5: My property is not an ashtray. I don't care if you smoke. They're your lungs, not mine. You just won't smoke inside my house. I've seen what tobacco smoke can do to a paint job once it gets into an air-conditioning system, and it's not a pretty sight. You can smoke outside, but you won't leave your used cigarette or cigar butts all over my lawn, patio or driveway. The last thing I want to do is pluck yucky used cigarette filters out of my shrubs after you leave. If you need a butt can, ask for one.
Rule #6: You will clean up your work area at the end of the day. Like quality work at a fair price, how you leave my house is what gets you invited back to work for me again. I've actually had a contractor say to me, after refusing to clean the byproducts of his work from the floor, "This is as clean as it gets. This is how we leave a construction site."
Well, duh, I'm thinking. This isn't a construction site. It's my home. I live here. Now I have to clean up your mess? What was my hourly rate again?
Rule #7: You won't inflict your musical preferences upon the entire neighborhood. It's okay to have music playing while you work—I don't really care what kind—but please leave the 500-watt boom box at home. People reside near me. Some of them work at night and sleep during the day. And some, like me, are music lovers, not noise lovers. And one last thing—aren't you in my house? Shouldn't you ask if it's okay to blast your music as loud as you want while I am paying you?
Rule #8: You won't work at my house again unless you finish the job when you said you would. In contracting with the federal government, there's a concept called "period of performance," and vendors are evaluated based on their ability to complete jobs within the POP. If a vendor doesn't, they might not get paid, and, they certainly will have a hard time obtaining new business. Time and again, I have contracted people to do work at my home, and they just drag it out and drag it out for what seems like months, ignoring the POP specified in the contract. They break Rule No. 2 repeatedly, leaving me with the choice of either waiting until they get around to me again, firing them and finding someone else, or finishing the job myself. This is very inconvenient, but it falls under the old adage: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Unlike the federal government, I don't owe contractors any favors for political patronage. Break this rule, and you won't be back—ever.
Despite these experiences, I still hire out most of the home improvements made on our house. The difference is, when I receive the vendor's contract, I attach my eight rules to it and have him sign it.
Doing that falls under what is known as the Gold Rule: whoever has the gold, makes the rules.

A man has been charged with a racially aggravated public order offence following a protest over the deaths on the Gaza flotilla.
Stephen Andrew, a 19-year-old from Bolton, who had been demonstrating outside the BBC's building in Manchester, will appear in court in July 1.
He was among up to 1,000 protesters who marched through Manchester and smashed the doors of the BBC offices.
Two officers suffered minor injuries during the incident. Another woman was arrested and has been bailed until June 16.
The Egyptian president, Hosni Mubarak, has ordered the reopening of his country's border with Gaza.
The Rafah crossing will be reopened to allow humanitarian and medical aid into Hamas-controlled Gaza, following the weekend's raid on a flotilla ship which left at least nine pro-Palestinian activists dead.
Rafah has been kept mostly closed in the three years since Hamas gained control of the area. It is the only point on the Gaza border that Israel does not fully control.
Two terrorists were shot dead attempting to infiltrate the Gaza border this morning.
The attempt followed Monday's IDF raid of the "Free Gaza" flotilla in which nine passengers were killed.
Four settlements near the border fence have been closed and families living nearby have been asked to stay in their homes. It is believed schools have been closed.
As international outrage mounted, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu cut short his visit to North America and canceled a meeting with President Barack Obama to return to Israel.
Flotilla 13, the IDF's naval commandos, were the toast of Israel's military - until yesterday. The recipients of a rare citation for the entire unit from Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Gabi Ashkenazi, only last month, the "Shayetet" are credited with numerous secret missions far away from the country's shores. According to the non-Israeli press, these missions included interdiction of ships bearing arms from Iran to Israel's enemies in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.
Israel's Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has expressed his regret that nine people were killed in the IDF action against the Gaza flotilla.
The six ships, which were part of a supposed aid mission to Gaza, have now docked in the port of Ashdod and 32 activists have been arrested.
Israeli had previously offered the ships a safe passage to dock in Ashdod and have their aid transported by land to Gaza.
It's depressing, but not in the least bit surprising, that the 'condemn first, ask questions later (if at all)' attitude towards Israel is as universal as ever.
To judge from the media coverage of what happened last night, you'd think that the IDF had attacked a defenceless group of peace activists almost for the sake of it, shooting indiscriminately and behaving like barbarians.
Up to sixteen members of a Turkish Gaza protest organisation are said to have been killed by Israeli forces after fighting on board a flotilla of ships en route to Gaza.
The ships, part of an 'aid convoy' from the 'Free Gaza' organisation, a Turkish based group, had left northern Cyprus on Sunday. Six boats carried 600 activists. One of those on board was Mairead Corrigan Maguire, the Northern Ireland peace protester who won a Nobel Prize in 1976.
Hamas has ordered Gazans to shut down the network of tunnels used for smuggling along the border with Egypt, in an unprecedented move.
Gazans told Israeli media that they believed the closure of the tunnels was in response to security requests from Egypt. The move comes shortly after Israelis were advised to leave the Sinai peninsula after an urgent warning of an imminent kidnap attempt by Hamas.
At least one Palestinian terrorist, who attempted to plant a bomb at the Gaza border fence, has been killed by the Israeli army.
The IDF and Palestinian sources have confirmed the attack happened on the Kissufim border with Gaza.
The IDF said that a group of Palestinians had attempted to breach the border and a Givati strike force fired and shelled at the group. Military helicopters were also used to target the men.
The dead man is a member of the al-Quds Brigade, the military section of Islamic Jihad, the terrorist group confirmed.
A truce with Israel and the prospects of inter-Palestinian reconcilliation were discussed on Sunday night at a meeting of several Gaza factions.
Islamic Jihad, Hamas, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and the Democratic Front all participated attended the meeting, described by Hamas spokesman Ayman Taha as the "first fruits" of a series of inter-Palestinian talks.
The representatives gathered as a rocket launched from the Gaza Strip missed a kibbutz in the Western Negev.

Australia MotoGP: Stoner says practice pace unexpected
|By Sam Tremayne
|Friday, October 26th 2012, 08:17 GMT
Casey Stoner admits he hadn't anticipated being so emphatically fast on the opening day of the Australian Grand Prix.
While the Australian has won the past five races on his home track, he came into this year's event with his injured worsening and his form uncertain.
It took him all of four laps to get up to speed however, and he duly spent almost the entirety of the opening two practice sessions one second clear of the field.
He was also able to lap in the 1m29s, while only team-mate Dani Pedrosa broke the 1m31s barrier.
"It was a very positive first day, we were pretty quick to get on the pace and to be honest I didn't expect to achieve the lap times we did," Stoner confessed.
"With the extra horse power we have this year it's a little easier to get around this place quickly!
"The times we were able to do in the first session were pretty good but I thought everybody would improve a lot more in the second session - but we were able to go quite a lot faster than everybody with almost race distance on our soft tyres and then we put the hard tyre on and were able to improve again.
"This is very positive at this stage of the weekend but we'll have to wait for tomorrow and Sunday to see where everyone else is.
"My ankle is in a lot worse condition than in Motegi but coming here, there are a lot less right hand corners, it's nice to take a bit of weight off it."
Stoner's form could hurt Pedrosa's title-bid, with the Spaniard needing to close down a 23-point gap to Jorge Lorenzo over the remaining two races. Pedrosa was at least able to best Lorenzo in second practice.
"I only tried the soft rear tyre today, so tomorrow will be important to test the hard compound and some different ideas on the electronics and suspension to improve the feeling," Pedrosa explained.
"Casey is going very fast here, as expected, so let's see if it stays dry tomorrow and we can work on the pace and close the gap to Casey."
