I love my cricut but at times I think we all could use some simple tips. I really need to learn how to multi cut... Someday I will figure it out. Thanks for sharing all you do. You have already taught me quite abit. Thanks for the chance to win this fun lettering cartridge. Pjritsema at gmail dot comReplyDelete
I would love to learn more about all the additional modes and settings like Mix n Match, Center Point, etc.ReplyDelete

Love your hello kitty card this is a great cartridge! I would like to learn how to use the center point feature since I still haven't figured it out LOL :) !ReplyDelete
My main concerns aren't about the Cricut itself, but ways in which my daughter and I could craft together using the Cricut. She's always wanting to make something, and so far, all I've given her are letters and one-layer accents like hearts and stars. Surely there are other kid-friendly projects that she could do too? Thanks for any advice - your projects never disappoint!ReplyDelete
Very colorful Hello Kitty design. I would love more tips on sizing cuts, shadows etc using the Imagine. Cupcake wrappers cart sizing also. Following on gfc.ReplyDelete
Your Hello Kitty card is so adorable! I would love to learn how to cut other materials on my cricut. I tried felt and I just don't think I was using the right kind? Love your projects and tips!ReplyDelete

hi i am really new to cricut so i would love to learn anything and everythinf please lol and i think your card is adorable i just love hello kitty and wow i can see why you love this cartridge its fabulous thankyou so much for the chance of winning your giveaway xxReplyDelete
Darling card, Joy!ReplyDelete
I agree with Barbara - tips on the Gypsy would be good. I have found it to be cumbersome and not very friendly. The only thing i use it for is to check out cuts and how they layout for cutting.
Is there anyway to be more efficient when cutting? The Cricut seems to give generous margins for some reason! That is the main reason i invested in a Gypsy, but it just doesn't seem worth the time and effort!
Thanks Joy!
for some reason i just cant seem to figure out how to set the paper size. i've looked it up before, but it just didnt make a whole lot of sense. could you try explaining it to me??ReplyDelete
p.s. this cartridge is suuuper cute!!
All tips are always welcome the cricut is a constant learning with new tricks and new projects. Love your blog!!ReplyDelete
Have a happy crafty day!!

I definitely would love to learn about the cricut. I feel like I do not have the time to really get in depth and I need a pro to show me what is important.

upnurse at aol dot com
I would really like to learn everything about the E2. I only use it with my Gypsy so I don't know any of the features. I haven't even used the cartridges that are loaded on the E2, just waiting for the cartridges to be available on the Gypsy. I need help!ReplyDelete
scrappindhilly at gmail dot com
I would like to know what mix and match and fit to length are for!ReplyDelete
I've always wondered why there are numbers on the blade cartridge itself, and how I'm supposed to know what to set it on. I can't find any info on that part.ReplyDelete
Such a cute Hello Kitty card! I just got a E2 and am just figuring it out and getting used to it....so any fun tips on getting the best use out of it .... I would love more tips! Plus, I need "encouragement" on using vinyl...but YOU are the PRO on that one, so tips for that would be helpful!ReplyDelete

Suggestions on making the new mats sticky? Gypsy stuff is good too!ReplyDelete
I am thinking I NEED the Hello Kitty cart. I have some friends (of all ages) that would just love these cuts. Thanks for sharing! Jen
This is soooo simple and yet SOOOOO Stinkin' CUTE! :o) I would like to learn whatever you would like to teach! If it's something I've done before I always like a refresher course! If it's something I didn't know.... then that's even better! :o)ReplyDelete
Great cartridge, and great card! I only have the Cricut Create, aside from the larger mat size are there any other advantages to upgrading?ReplyDelete
I would like to see if fabric really cuts neatly!ReplyDelete
I can't think of any tips I'd like right now but I'm sure whatever you do show will be great.ReplyDelete

Love your hello kitty :-) What I would like to learn about the cricut is how to guess sizes that you should make boxes and altered items. I always have a hard time guessing which size would be the best to use for these :-)ReplyDelete
Your card is adorable! I love HK! I would like to learn about shor cuts using design Studio and gypsy. Awesome giveaway!ReplyDelete
I'm just moving from the baby bug to the expression (arrived tonite, havent even turned it on yet). I really want to learn the differences so that I can take full advantage of my new purchase.ReplyDelete

I would like to learn how to make sure to use the right sizes, for all the things you make. How deep to cut your paper. and how to get letters in a frame.ReplyDelete
a lot huh :) but i wish that i can make such nice cards and layouts as you do.
I enjoy learning something new everyday even more so when I think I know a lot.ReplyDelete
I have an I and I feel afraid of it. Some tips for it would be great.
depm07 at gmail dot com
I love your Hello Kitty card...wow you keep finding all these neat things Joy...now you've got me perusing my cartridges so thanks so much....you are such an inspiration!ReplyDelete
I just got the new E2 and I wish it would have more of a tutorial to go through. Not sure how to use the gypsy yet either, it's been in a box for almost a year now! Help! Love Hello Kitty ;o)ReplyDelete
What would I like to learn about the Cricut.....hmmmmm....EVERYTHING! I have problems with the layers feature especially. I just don't seem to get it. Also, I would like to know about cutting fabric and how to know which settings to use to cut certain types of paper. There is a certain cardstock that seems only just to tear when I use the settings suggested. H-E-L-P-P-P-P!!!!! :DReplyDelete
I'm fairly new to cricut so any tricks would be appreciated. I love the Hello Kitty card it is so cute.ReplyDelete

I would love to learn more about cutting vinyl and fabric! I would love to make my daughter some cute applique t-shirts, but I'm nervous to cut fabric!ReplyDelete
I always seem to learn something new on my Cricut so anything would be great. Also going back to basics sometimes is nice because sometimes a simple helpful feature is looked past here and there. Keep up thegood work.ReplyDelete
- imafarmgirlOctober 18, 2011 at 7:22 AM
Felt! It scares me.. but I would love to cut it on the cricut but chicken to try...ReplyDelete
Joy, what a cute card! It sounds terrible, but I have so many carts now that I sometimes forget what I have (like the HK cartridge)!ReplyDelete
Here's an idea I had.....what about a list of seasonal cuts from all the cartridges? I know that there are resources out there if you wanted to search for, say, a stocking, but what if there was a spreadsheet with all the different Christmas items - cards included. It would be great to have a little picture of it, too. Yeah, a lot of work, I know! Maybe it could be a collaborative project?
Thanks for the chance to win Cherry Limeade!

I've had my Cricut two years at Christmas and am just learning how to use it, so there's lots I need to learn. I think my biggest hang-up is figuring out what all I can do with each cartridge. I know different buttons do different things but it isn't always obvious. This cartridges looks really cool and would be great to have. Thanks for all your tips!ReplyDelete
Joy M.
I would just like to learn more about the extra things I can do with my bug.ReplyDelete
I am still getting used to my Gypsy. So I'd like to learn how to use the Gypsy with the Cricut, especially welding and hiding parts of an image! Thanks for a chance to win! I am a subscriber!ReplyDelete
I have a cricut, but still find it a little intimidating, so for me the basics, how to get started with it!ReplyDelete
Love the card!! It is adorable!ReplyDelete
I would enjoy re-learning anything about the multi functions of the Cricut and how to put space between images on the Imagine bc I would like to use different papers like I do on the Cricut mats. Also, the cheapest place to get a new I mat.
Love the Hello Kitty card, I could see that as an invitation also. Love my Cricut, but I know there are things I do not know about. I learn alot from some fellow scrapbookers this past weekend, but I am sure there are things you can teach us, looking forward to the lessons.ReplyDelete
I love my Cricut, but use it mostly for basic cuts. I would like a review of the special functions, center point, multi-cut, fit to page, etc. to get the most possible use from my machine.ReplyDelete
Very cute card. I'm a follower. I have trouble with layers using Design Studio when I set my own length and width. ThanksReplyDelete

Love your Hello Kitty, just soooo cute. I have never been able to master the end caps.ReplyDelete
I am a follower. Thanks for all your ideas. I would like to learn to center my cut outs on the cricut Thanks againReplyDelete
I don't know if I have anything specific about the cricut itself but does the Gypsy count? I would love to see some more detailed instructions on welding. Not just a welded word but on making a box or something that has more shapes involved and welded on more than just one side.ReplyDelete
The Cherry Limeade cartridge in on my wishlist, would love to win it!

Love the Hello Kitty card...may have to do something like this for my daughter Art teacher who is OBSESSED with Hello Kitty.
Love the hello kitty card! One of the things about the Cricut that I would love to learn - in cutting out the layers for an image - I have a bunch of cartridges that I find myself staying away from because they have more then 2 layers. HELP!ReplyDelete
That is a really cute Hello Kitty Elf!! For me I'd like to learn how to layer: like you did on this card. How do you get all the separte pieces?ReplyDelete

This is adorable. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Aside from cards, my favorite thing to make is mini albums. I could use tips on cutting chipboard on my Circut. Sometimes when I multi-cut, the edges get all jagged and if my mat isn't super sticky, the chipboard pops loose and my cut is ruined. I have been unemployed for 13 months now and have no budget for paper crafting supplies so I can't afford to waste anything. Help with this problem would be greatly appreciated as I want to make some minis for Christmas gifts this year. Thanks!ReplyDelete
Joy I would LOVE to learn how to use the center point feature. I would like to cut my pictures, but am afraid to because I don't want to cut it wrong and ruin my picture. Love your site and thanks for all that you do!!ReplyDelete
Cute card!ReplyDelete
I would like to see more tips on different settings for different papers.
gayle_shrader at yahoo dot com
i would love to learn how to use all the different features. I'm a cricut novice. I've only used it to cut out basic shapes etc. I guess i just need a cricut 101!ReplyDelete
First, the more I see Hello Kitty the more I want this cart. I'll be on the lookout...ReplyDelete
Love the card.
would like to lear center point. Its intimidating. Would hate to ruin a good photo.

Honestly nothing specific comes to mind...but I always learn something new...or am reminded of some tip I read and forgot about...just keep them coming! You are my daily dose of motivation! Thank you!ReplyDelete
I have had my Cricut for almost two years, but I don't feel like I'm using all the features to make my life easier. I see someone mentioned multi-cut, I don't even know what that is! Please Help!!!ReplyDelete
Hi Joy!ReplyDelete
I always learn so much from you...THANKS! I think at this point, I enjoy when you explore carts I already have and show all the extras that are included in them that don't really show in the descriptions. Your creativity is so inspiring. Love the shaped card feature on the HK cart. Is that offerred on any other cart that you know of? TFS such a cute card.

There are so many things that i could learn im still a newbie with my cricut. I see so many things besides just papercrafting. Would love to learn more about cutting different materials. Thank you for giving us the chance to win and all of the help and inspiration you provide!ReplyDelete
I have a cricut, don't use it much cause it still overwhelms me. Maybe go over the basics for newbies. Like the dials (speeds, size of cut). That would be awesome.ReplyDelete
Love the Christmas Hello Kitty, so cute!
I really love my cricut but I feel like I don't use it to the best of it's ability. Pointers on multi-cutting may help me.ReplyDelete

Such a cute "Hello Kitty" card! TFS. I would love to learn how to get longer life from my cricut, cutting mats, blades, tools, etc. A lot of us make our own cards not just because we love doing it, but also because we don't want to pay $5-$7 per card in a store - so how can we make this obsession, er hobby, even more affordable?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 18, 2011 at 9:29 AM
I would love to try vinyl, but am too chicken right now! I'm afraid I'll have the settings wrong and ruin a piece! I'd also like to learn more about shaped cards made from a regular image - not just the card function. thanks!!ReplyDelete
Love the Hello Kitty card. Thanks for reminding me that this is a real cute cartridge. Sometimes we need little reminders of what we already have but don't use very often. Like Cherry Limeaid.

Ciao db:)
I need to work with fabric in my Cricut more-I can never get it to cut right!ReplyDelete

The Hello Kitty Card is so cute, I have read Under the Dome by Stephen King, it is a can't put it down book. But I like all of his books. I think I have a good understanding of all the function keys, I just like watching others use them on videos.ReplyDelete

Thanks for the chance to win!
- Stacie in OregonOctober 18, 2011 at 10:52 AM
This cartridge is on my wish list! I absolutely love the font!ReplyDelete
I have the smaller Cricut, and I would like to know more about if the smaller machine is OK to use when cutting vinyl and or fabric. I am intrigued by many of the projects on this site, but am nervous to try with my smaller machine.
Stacie in Oregon
I am such a beginner that just about anything would help me. I don't have a lot of cartridges and I just have the personal cutter so I can't go beyond the six inches. So if there is a way to do the 12 inch things in 6 inch sizes I guess that would be the biggest help to me. Hello Kitty is so cute dressed for Christmas!ReplyDelete

The card is sooo adorable. I hate it when you start to read a book and just get completely into it and just want to finish it and it has to wait, bummer, just because of other responsibilities. TFSReplyDelete

Love to hear more about optimal settings for glitter cardstock, chipboard, vinyl, iron-on transfers, etc
Adorable card!!!ReplyDelete
All I have learned about the Cricut has been thru blogs and Youtube videos. So the more tutorials that are out there then it would help me a lot. I like getting all the layer cuts in one attempt using my Gypsy so if you have a tutorial on how is the best way to do that it would be great.
I just gave this great cartridge to my daughter and hated I could not have one for myself! So I think I need to learn to share better with my Cricut!ReplyDelete
I would love to learn how to cut shapes from photos....center them and not worry that they will get ruined. Thanks for a chance to win this cart. I am going to try out a Hello Kitty card. I haven't used my cricut in awhile and this is a good reason! TFSReplyDelete
I would love to know how to make envelopes to fit cricut cards. I have the Just Because Cards cartridge and can't get the envelopes to turn out right...arrrgh!ReplyDelete

I am new to the Cricut and have so much to learn. I've been learning online. It's difficult to say what I still need to learn! I'd say, ways to simplify using the Cricut so newbies don't have to spend hours looking all over the internet to learn how to use it! Welding comes to mind specifically, using Design Studio which I just got. Thanks for all you do.ReplyDelete
I love this! And I have the Hello Kitty catridge. I will make these for my great-nieces at Christmas.ReplyDelete
Cute card and thanks for a chance to win looks like a fun cartReplyDelete
Your card is adorable. I don't have an Imagine yet, but I'm strongly leaning toward it, so I would like to learn more about the Imagine. Thanks for the chance to win this fun cart!ReplyDelete

I would really love to learn how to layer in order to make such adorable things as your Hello Kitty card. I struggle with how to cut things in order to layer properly. I think I'll be watching some of your videos. Your site is adorable! Thank you so much for putting the info out there.ReplyDelete

In this browser game you will walk in the footsteps of a Mafia member. By showing your strength, earning respect, and rising in rank, you will slowly become renowned and feared in the world of the Mafia. Outsmart your fellow players and become the most powerful Mafiosi.
In the beginning it will take some time getting used to. If you have little experience with similar games, you will need some time to learn the tricks of the trade. Dont worry though, by just trying everything out you will quickly learn. Steal cars, commit (organized) crimes, gamble in the casino: after performing some of these activities, you will get a hang of the way crimes are integrated in this game.
|Manual for Die-paten-von-potsdam.com
|Earn real money
|Murder / death
|Country options
|Wishing stones
In this game a lot relies on your strength. Your rank in the memberlist depends on your strength. You possess attack and defense strength. Your attack strength is, as the name implies, important for attacking other players. Your defense strength plays a role in defending attacks from other players.
You gain strength by purchasing things like weapons, vehicles, etc. You can also work out in the gym or the boxing club.
Boxing strength is required to beat other players in the ring. Of course, your boxing strength is also part of your overall strength.
Here is a list of all the possible ranks and their corresponding extra rights and possibilities.
In the status bar you can view your present rank and progress towards the next level. This bar is constantly updated. When the bar is full you will rise a rank.
|Earn real money
There are many possibilities to make money. Still finding it difficult? The following list is a small peek into the possibilities :
By attacking others you can earn extra cash. After a successful attack you get a percentage of the players pocketed cash. Your opponent will also lose health. There is, however, a maximum on the number of attacks you can launch. Per 24 hours, you can commit 10 attacks on your fellow players, and 5 attacks on the same person.
The more bullets you fire, the higher your chances of success are. The opponent will also lose more health this way. There is no 100% guarantee that you will win. 1 thing is for sure though, the higher your strength and rank are, the more chance you have of winning .
There are also drawbacks to an attack. Launching an attack will cost you some strength. Therefore, choose your victims carefully. If you lose an attack that you launched, you will lose health.
Sometimes you will not be able to attack someone. This can be caused by the following things:
|Murder / death
A possible outcome of an attack is death. If the health of your victim falls to 0, that means you killed them. Of course, this works both ways.
If the murdered player had an active auction running, the auction will be terminated and the money returned to the highest bidder.
If you die you will lose the following things:
If you kill someone? You will receive your victim's entire fortune. In case your victim was married, you'll only receive 50% of his/her bank and cash money.
Tip: Store your money in the safe. Even in the event of your death, the money is always there. Credits and VIP-membership, won't be lost in case you get murdered, so they remain in your possession
While you are dead it's not possible to continue normal active play. You can only log off, buy credits, or revive yourself in the exchange office. You can also choose to restart your game for free by using a full reset, but in that case you will lose everything and have to start over from the begining. Once you've bought a revival you can resume playing.
To keep it fun for everyone, you can't just keep on murdering. After a murder, you must wait 60 minutes before you can attack again.
In each country is a number of objects for sale: casinos, bullet factories, hospitals... By owning these objects, you can make a lot of extra money. The number of objects the same player can posses is limited: You can posses maximum 13 objects .
|Country options
There can be many reasons to leave a country to explore another one. Your intended victim resides in another country or you want to take a new casino to the cleaners. Maybe you are only looking for cheaper ammunition? Some countries also possess special characteristics.
|Wishing stones
A few facts about wishing stones:
The purpose of blackjack is to beat the bank. You have to try to get as close to 21 as possible. Going over means you lose. If you have end up with less then 22 points in your hand, but with more than the bank, you win the hand. Jack's, queen's, and king's are worth 10 points. The cards 2 to 10 are worth face value. The ace is either worth 1 or 11 points. If you end up with more than 21 points in your hand, the bank wins.
In roulette you place your chips on the table in specific fields. The roulette wheel is lined with numbers between 0 and 36. These are also alternately colored: 18 red, 18 black. The 0 is green. You can place chips on multiple fields to try to maximize your winnings. Click "start" to make the wheel spin. When the wheel stops spinning, a winning number (and color) will be shown.
Poker is a game where you place bets depending on the cards in your hand. The game that is played here is Texas Hold 'em.

In general, this rule stands: the best hand of 5 cards wins the Pot.

Consejo fiscal: ¿Realmente conoce su estado civil para efectos de la declaración?Publicado:
Among the mistakes tax filers make: Claiming head of household when you're actually single.
NEW YORK (MainStreet) — Clients often come to me confused about how they should file their tax return. Are they Single, Married or Head of Household?
Your filing status is determined by your legal status on the last day of the year — Dec. 31. If you got married on Christmas Eve you are considered by the IRS to be married for the entire year, and subject to the rules and rates for married filers. If your divorce was final Nov. 5, you are considered by the IRS to be "unmarried" for the entire year, and will file as either Single or, if you qualify, Head of Household.
If a spouse is alive for at least one day of the year the IRS will treat you as being married for the entire year. If your husband passed away Jan. 17, 2012, you will still be able to file a joint return for 2012 and claim a full exemption for your deceased spouse.
READ: Determining your filing status
Over the years clients have insisted they were a Head of Household when they were in fact Single. To qualify as Head of Household, and take advantage of the better tax rate schedule, you must be unmarried Dec. 31 (or considered unmarried) and pay more than half the cost of maintaining your home, which was also the principal residence for more than half the year of a "qualifying child" or a "qualifying relative." Of course you must be a U.S. citizen or resident for the entire year.
You cannot claim Head of Household status if your "qualifying relative" is not an actual relative, but just someone who lived in your home for the entire year.
Generally you must claim someone as a dependent to be a Head of Household. But in the case of divorced parents where the custodial parent allows the ex-spouse to claim the child as a dependent, the custodial parent may still file as Head of Household.
You can file as a "Qualified Widow(er)" for 2012 and get the benefit of the married tax rates if you are unmarried Dec. 31, your spouse passed away in 2010 or 2011, you were able to file a joint return for the deceased spouse's year of death and you paid more than half the cost of maintaining your home, which was the principal residence for the entire year of your dependent child or stepchild.

Attacking Asthma: Program to keep kids out of hospital saves tax dollars, but it still must hustle for grants
Staff writer Katy Murphy and photographer Alison Yin produced this project for The Oakland Tribune as part of a 2012 National Health Journalism Fellowship. Other parts to this series are:
Pollution takes heavy toll on Bay Area children with asthma
As schoolchildren played on the blacktop, calling out to each other over the hum of the nearby freeway, Tyree Harris and his mother climbed aboard a big, white Winnebago.
His doctor's office had arrived.
Like every other young patient treated on the Breathmobile, an asthma clinic on wheels, Tyree, 13, receives respiratory exams, medication, equipment and periodic checkups that help control his asthma, all for free. His experience illustrates that asthmatic kids can breathe more easily -- if they are fortunate enough to have access to the right treatment.
"It's helping me learn about my asthma and just how important it is to take my medication," said Tyree, who goes to Bancroft Middle School in San Leandro, a mile south of the Oakland border.
"I don't want to go to the emergency room," he said. "I don't want to go through that moment again."
Children who live and play near the Bay Area's notoriously jammed freeways, ports or refineries, or in substandard housing, are rushed to the hospital for asthma treatment at alarming rates. Bay Area kids were hospitalized for asthma nearly 1,800 times in 2010 -- at a statewide average cost of $19,000 apiece. That's in addition to the 8,500 trips to the emergency room they made that year.
Oakland children are four times as likely as other California kids to have symptoms so severe they must be admitted to the hospital.
The Breathmobile and other interventions are fighting to change that unsettling reality. The West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project works to clean up the air children breathe. The Oakland school district has turned its attention to indoor air quality. Alameda County's Asthma Start program and the asthma clinic at Children's Hospital Oakland teach families how to treat a poorly understood disease.
When a child's asthma is not being treated properly, a flare-up could happen at any time, pulling him out of school and his parents out of work. The risks are even greater for those who are frequently exposed to things that irritate their lungs, such as air pollution, dust mites, mold and smoke.
Children with out-of-control asthma often rely too heavily on quick-acting "rescue" inhalers, such as Albuterol, while skipping a daily -- and more expensive -- "control" treatment that helps to prevent attacks from happening in the first place, doctors say. Physicians typically prescribe both kinds of medication for children with moderate to severe asthma.
"I see it all the time," said Dr. Michael Lenoir, a Bay Area allergist and pediatrician who serves on the National Medical Association's Allergy & Asthma Initiative, about Albuterol. "It's cheap, and it's quick."
Research bears out Lenoir's experience. A 2007 survey by the California Department of Public Health found that 28 percent of children with frequent asthma symptoms did not take preventive medication, and that only 38 percent had an asthma management plan from a doctor. When USC and University of Minnesota researchers analyzed the insurance claims of nearly 9,000 pediatric asthma patients, they discovered prescriptions for preventive medication were filled only about 40 percent of the year, on average.
The medical providers aboard the Breathmobile not only stress how crucial it is for patients to take their medicine as the doctor has ordered, but they also give it to them for free.
Tyree's mother, Lydia, said she had lost her health insurance the year before. She'd panicked, wondering how she'd be able to keep her athletic son healthy and safe.
"This is like a blessing," she said, as Tyree had his checkup. "It gives me peace of mind."
Since the bus began making the rounds at Bay Area schools in fall 2009, the program has treated about 330 patients in Northern California. Staffed with a doctor or nurse practitioner, a respiratory therapist, a nurse and a bilingual driver, it regularly stops at schools in Oakland, Berkeley, West Contra Costa County, San Leandro, Emeryville and Bayview-Hunters Point. The model was developed at USC and is locally operated by the Prescott-Joseph Center for Community Enhancement in West Oakland.
The Breathmobile costs about $500,000 a year to run, said Dr. Washington Burns, the center's director. He estimates that the program saves as much or more in health care costs -- dozens of hospitalizations and hundreds of emergency room visits that his patients no longer need.
Still, Burns has to hustle for the program's survival. He has kept the Breathmobile alive through a collection of grants, but he has yet to find a more stable funding source. A promising asthma outreach program in Contra Costa County's public health department ended after a major grant expired in 2010.
"I don't want this program to go away," Burns said. "A program like this should not end. It's doing so much good."

Netflix announced today that it will do away with any plan that offers both DVD rentals and unlimited streaming, starting in September. To get both services, customers will have to pay $7.99 for an unlimited streaming plan, and at least another $7.99 for the least expensive DVD rental plan. That means both services will now cost subscribers $15.98 per month, a significant increase from the $9.99 they have been paying for the same service.
Customers will now be able to subscribe to DVD-only plans, which will start at $7.99 per month for the one DVD at-a-time option, or $11.99 per month for two DVDs at-a-time plan, Netflix announced. "These plans offer our lowest prices ever for unlimited DVDs," writes Jessie Becker on the Netflix blog. He adds: "By offering our lowest prices ever, we hope to provide great value to our current and future DVDs by mail members."
Unlimited streaming plans, which also cost $7.99 per month, will remain the same.
Netflix is trying desperately hard to sell this change as a win for its customers. According to Becker, the company did not anticipate that many users would want to keep receiving physical DVDs after they announced the $7.99 unlimited streaming plan last November. So, rather than have DVD-only plans, they simply made the DVD option a $2 add-on to the unlimited streaming service.
Now, however, they believe that DVDs by mail has a "long life" ahead of it, so "treating DVDs as a $2 add on to our unlimited streaming plan neither makes great financial sense nor satisfies people who just want DVDs." This, says Becker, is why they made the changes. They've even started a whole new "separate and distinct management team" that will be "solely focused on DVDs by mail," Becker says.
Needless to say, Netflix users aren't happy — or, at least, the frothy hoard that is commenting on the Netflix blog announcement isn't.
"This is a horrible deal for current customers," says commenter Todd Hayward. "You're going to be losing a lot of business with this decision."
What do you think of the change? Does this affect whether you'll keep your Netflix subscription? Let us know in the comments.

The spicy slaw accompanies pulled pork barbecue in the book, but we paired it with grilled chicken sausages. I was thrilled to have almost all the ingredients for this from our CSA. Red cabbage, a baby head of green cabbage, onion, and carrots all came from Hands of the Earth Farm. Green cabbage was suggested in the recipe, and red chiles were to be used for color contrast. Since I had that lovely head of red cabbage and the smaller green cabbage, I used them both and then used both a red chile and a green one. The carrots and onion were shredded on a box grater, and the cabbage was thinly sliced by hand. Green onions, a red chile, and a jalapeno joined those vegetables, and the combination was mixed with a dressing of mayonnaise, dijon mustard, cider vinegar, lemon juice, celery seed, and hot sauce. A pinch of sugar and salt and pepper were added. I really like celery seed in slaw, so I garnished with a little more of it on top.
This wasn't a thick, gloupy kind of slaw since the vinegar and lemon juice thinned the mayonnaise a bit, but the dressing was still nicely creamy. The crunchy cabbage and sweet carrots with the spicy chiles and zing of the hot sauce in the dressing made for a lively and delicious slaw. It was a great side dish for our sausages, and it would partner well with just about anything off the grill.

Indoor air quality is central to your household's health. Did you realize that the air inside the average home is much more polluted than outdoor air? It is—about five times more. In fact, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has placed indoor air pollution as one of the top five environmental dangers. Mold, pollen, pet dander, radon and even formaldehyde are regularly found inside homes.
Humidity is also a concern when it comes to indoor air quality. Air that is too humid or too dry can have unpleasant effects on your health and damage your home. Let's review three of the ways A&M Heating & Cooling LLC can help you improve the indoor air quality in your Tucson home.
A Clean System is the First Step to Good Indoor Air Quality A dirty HVAC system can harbor and circulate allergens throughout your indoor space. Your first line of defense is to keep your system clean and well maintained. The easiest thing you can do is assess your air filter routinely and replace it when it becomes dirty. In the majority of homes, the air filter needs to be changed every two or three months, but A&M Heating & Cooling LLC recommends that you check them every month—especially if you have indoor air quality concerns. Annual furnace, heat pump and/or air conditioner maintenance is also important. Your technician will confirm your system is clean and not circulating dust and debris through your Tucson home.
Enlist the Help of an Air Purifier An air purifier can help improve indoor air quality and give some relief from seasonal and indoor allergies. For maximum allergy control, look for one that filters out at least 95 percent of particles as small as .3 micron (a micron is one-thousandth of a millimeter). Regardless of whether allergies are an issue with any one in your home, filtering out pollutants is beneficial. The EPA has stated that the long-term effects of poor indoor air quality include potentially debilitating or deadly respiratory and heart diseases and cancer (https://www.epa.gov/indoor-air-quality-iaq/introduction-indoor-air-quality). A good air purifier, like the Lennox® PureAirTM, will remove 90 percent of germs and bacteria from your house—down to .01 micron.
Another way an air purifier can make your house more comfortable is by reducing household odors. While not as severe as pollutants and germs, bad odors are normally unwelcome in people's homes. Odors from things like pets, cooking, and sports gear can have it smell like your home is unclean. Cleaning your air with an air purifier is a healthier way to get rid of these odors than trying to mask them. Cleaning products, air sprays and scented candles may actually pollute your indoor air more. The right air purifier will end household odors, leaving you with clean, healthy air.
Control Humidity for Health The EPA suggests maintaining your indoor relative humidity between 30 and 50 percent. When your air is too dry it can cause health problems like upper-respiratory issues, dry throat and nose, and itchy skin. Remember that viruses generally thrive in dry air, and dry air is known to intensify symptoms for allergy and asthma sufferers. And, chances are high that your home's air is too dry—the average heated home has a relative humidity between 13 and 16 percent in the winter months. That's drier than the world's driest deserts! So what can help?
A whole home humidifier can provide up to 50 percent more humidity than portable humidifiers. Plus, you don't have to continuously adjust most models—just program in your desired humidity and you're done. Proper humidity levels will not only help keep your household in good health, but they can help guard your home from damages caused by dry airlike shrinking and cracking wood. What's even better is that humid air feels warmer, so with a whole home humidifier on board, you could set your thermostat a little lower to save on your utility bills without sacrificing comfort.
These are just some of the ways A&M Heating & Cooling LLC can help you improve your indoor air quality. Give us a call at 520-200-1048 to find out even more options.

Norris Spray Foam is the Flower Mound, Tx area's premier polyurethane foam roofing contractor. Our seamless system ensures that your roof will not leak, will look its best and last longer than any other roofing choice. When you re roof with spray foam, you might not need a tear off which saves you time and money. A foam roofing system provides the benefits of high R-value insulation including energy savings and protective coatings.
Spray polyurethane foam (SPF), a building material with notably high performance, is widely used as a roofing solution. With benefits including versatility, thermal insulation, resistance to inclement weather cycling and storms, strengthening of the building envelope, durability and long life, spray foam has risen in popularity among builders and roofing contractors alike.
The main purpose of a roof is to protect the structure underneath it. As a roofing material, closed-cell SPF is both a thermal insulator and a protective one. The lightweight roofing material is the best choice when:
- the substrate of the roof has many penetrations.
- the roof deck is unusually shaped or configured.
- the roof is being installed on a structure located in an environment that is prone to severe weather.
- you need a lightweight option.
- an application with an inclined slope provides more drainage capabilities.
- keeping the existing roofing is preferred.
Our process for reroofing with spray polyurethane foam is detailed below. Norris Spray Foam is a leader in foam reroofing technology in Texas and we invite you to inquire about the most economical and long lasting re roofing choice for your building.
Our Story
Spray foam has become increasingly popular in the past few years with builders across Texas as a preferred insulation method. The spray polyurethane foam is also used as a roofing material for new and roof replacement, but that is not widely known.
For more than a quarter of a century, spray foam roofing has mostly been used to reroof existing flat roofs on commercial and residential buildings.
Norris Spray Foam sprays foam roofing in Texas for both residential and commercial projects. Commercial buildings with flat or low-slope roofs are common in our area, and many of them have old, leaky built-up roofing (such as modified bitumen roofing), so re-roofing commercial buildings is a significant portion of our business.
When you re roof with spray foam, you can:
Save up to 50% of the cost of a tear-off and conventional re roof installation
Permanently seal leaks that have increased in number over time
Save on energy costs as spray foam provides superior insulating properties which TPO and EPDM roofing don't have
Minimize weight load on your roof compared with re roofing alternatives
Extend the life of your existing roof 20-30 years
The following explains the process of re roofing a commercial low-sloped or flat roof with spray polyurethane foam starting with the material and finishing with the gravel application. You'll learn about Tpo Roof Replacement in Flower Mound, too.
Polyurethane Material FAQs
The plastic polyurethane material was developed prior to World War II. In the 1970s, U.S. military officials recognized its value as a lightweight, waterproof, durable, all-in-one insulation and all-purpose covering and coating system. Its use has expanded to the commercial and residential sectors since that time.
Polyurethane foam is made by mixing two liquid components at a ratio of one-to-one inside the tip of the spray gun specifically made for these components. As the mixture exits the gun, tiny bubbles form as a result of isocyanates, polyols, catalysts, and a non-ozone-depleting blowing agent. Bubbles form until the material has inflated to 30 to 50 times its original mass.
Denseness of the Closed Cell Roofing Foam
Roof foam has a density and permeability that makes it different from polyurethane foam which is used to insulate walls.
Open-cell spray foam structure is extremely porous and soft. Closed-cell foam is impermeable to moisture, and has a dense central core. Roof foam is appreciably more dense than regular foam, and it is strong enough to walk on the roof surface without damaging it. Because the system is closed-cell, neither air nor water pass through, and it also acts as a vapor retarder.
Foam as Roofing
Foam roofs have their pros and cons, as do any roofing system installed by any roofing company. One of its most notable features is its ability to adjust to contours that are difficult to flash and waterproof with conventional materials such as modified bitumen.
A list of the other features the product offers, as well as its limitations can be found below.
Excellent R-value
Despite the rigid insulation above the sheathing or the batt or blown insulation in the cavity below, many roofs permit significant heat gain.
In addition to this, most built-up roofs act as giant solar heat collectors.
On the other hand, SPF roofing resists solar heat gain. It can be both Cool Roof- and Energy Star-rated with the right coating. The R-value of roofing foam is about R 6.5 per inch of thickness, so a typical application is around 1 1/2 inches thick (though certain parts of the roof get more foam than others).
Reroofing With Spray Foam – Elevation Measurement Across the Roof
Our laser level measures elevation at various points on the roof and records the data. The technician uses the map to identify low spots so he can build up those areas with a thicker layer of foam and prevent ponding.
Long Service Life
Foam that has been cured can maintain its flexibility over time and is chemically quite stable. UV light is the only thing that can damage it — besides being punctured by a sharp object.
Properly applied and maintained SPF roofs should last for generations. UV-resistant cool roofs top coatings need to be re-coated every 10 to 15 years. Upgraded systems can extend the re-coating cycle to 20 years which is particularly valuable roofing solution for a commercial roof.
Unlikely to Leak
Roof leaks occur most often when water enters through an open seam or joint in the roofing material. Water can get into the roof from one place, migrate horizontally between the plies, then come through the ceiling at another location if the roof has several plies, such as the case with BUR.
Leaks of this nature can be difficult to find and to fix. An SPF roof is a solid, one-piece system with no joints, seams, or plies. Nothing will leak through it unless it has a hole all the way through it.
Polyurethane foam SPF is a great option for sloped roofs, but since it's not as aesthetic as shingles, people mostly install it in low-slope areas where it won't be noticed.
Additionally, foam isn't suited for installation year-round in all climates. The roof needs to be absolutely dry and within a range of 50°F at the time of application. Also, there must be little or no wind at the time of roofing application.
Initially, installing a spray-foam roof is not the cheapest option, but after it has been installed it is more energy efficient and has a longer, more trouble-free service life. The payback on spray polyurethane foam spf roof replacement is much quicker than other re-roofing options because of the energy savings.
The Complete Process
1. Inspecting the Existing Roof
The first thing we determine when we inspect an existing Fort Worth TX area roof is whether it should be stripped or swept. It's surprising how many multiple-overlay built-up roofs we find — even though they impose an excessive load on the structure and in some areas aren't allowed by code. In cases where there are multiple roof layers, it's best to strip back to the sheathing. This lightens the load and provides a smoother substrate for the foam. If there is only a single layer of roofing, it's often possible to sweep off the gravel, prep the surface, and apply a layer of foam. This allows the building owner to avoid the mess and expense of a tear-off, yet still end up with a lighter roof.
When we inspect commercial and industrial roofing in Fort Worth, we find leaks, ponding, and areas with rotted sheathing. If the roof was just one layer, we usually repair the rot and install SPF over the existing membrane.
2. Ponding
Older buildings tend to sag and settle, resulting in ponding. With many single ply roofing applications, this problem is hard to fix — but with SPF, low areas can be filled with foam.
To find low spots, we use a laser level to map the "topography" of the existing roof. We measure the elevation at various locations and draw maps so that the applicator knows where the high and low spots are so that he can adjust the amount of foam.
On the other hand, scuppers and drains should be replaced so the foam will have a clean surface to attach to. Our roofer will cut away the membrane around the existing drainage system. The old fitting will be replaced by a new one that leads to the downspout below. After the new fitting is nailed to the deck and primed, the foam roofing systems will be applied.
If we merely applied the same thickness everywhere, water would still pond in low spots.
3. Prep Work
Especially when foam is being applied over an existing roof, the prep work is extremely important. Commercial roofing contractors have been known to show up, spray foam on the roof, coat it, and leave it. Such an installation may provide relief from leaks for a short period of time, but the building owner will experience problems over time.
In order to do a good job, the contractors must prepare the surface, repair damaged sheathing, replace sheet metal and flashings when necessary, deal with drainage problems, and apply protective coatings and foam correctly. This is how Norris Spray Foam approaches each roof repair project.
4. Surface Prep
To establish a solid bond, all loose material must be removed from the existing roof. The loose gravel must be removed by sweeping and hauling it away. There may be built-up areas with asphalt and gravel. If that material is coming loose, we use a tool to scrape it off.
We clean the membrane by sweeping up any accumulated silt, then blow the residual dust off with a gas-powered blower. We power-wash the roof if it doesn't leak.
Even though sprayed foam is highly adhering, it is still a good idea to prime the existing surface. We spray a special primer on the surface of the roof using an airless sprayer which is the correct foam roof application procedure.
5. Sheathing Repairs
We will replace or strip the framing and sheathing if necessary if we find rot on a roof.
If the building code does not require a Class A fire rating, we prime the sheathing and then apply foam.
We normally nail a fiber-impregnated gypsum board over the patched area before priming and applying foam to achieve a Class A rating.
6. Metal Work
We may reuse the existing sheet-metal vents, but we always install new foam stops along the roof edge.
7. Edge Metal
The edge of a roof is normally one of the weakest points. For reinforcement on the roof edges, we use a metal foam stop that's hemmed and kicked out at the lower edge.
8. Vents and Fans
If we strip the roof, we may need to replace the existing roof jacks. If we are simply doing a sweep and the jacks are still in good shape, we leave them in place and cover them with foam.
All unsatisfactory vents are replaced before foam application.
Existing roof-mounted vent fans can present a challenge because the foam could elevate the surface of the roof sufficiently for water to run into them. We install a custom-made vented cap over the top of each fan and build a curb systems around it. The old fan will remain in place and may be serviced or replaced in the future.
Don't allow a roofing installer to install foam in the roof fan without considering the likelihood of a leak or the potential for a need to replace the fan someday.
9. Drains and scuppers
Most of the structures we work on have scuppers or metal dropout drains that connect through the overhang to a downspout below. When we replace the edge metal, we also replace the scupper linings. Also, we cut out and replace the dropout drains. It is possible that they are rusting through, so we need a new, clean surface for the foam to adhere to.
10. Counterflashing
Under certain circumstances, foam can self-flash when lapped up against adjoining vertical walls. Most of the time, though, a counterflash is needed at the roof-to-wall junction to ensure water located behind the wall cladding is redirected onto the roof.
11. Skylights
Skylights are a known source of leaks. Frequently, we raise the curbs so the skylight is protected above the foam. Never allow a roofer to foam on the skylight flange. The skylight should be easily removable from the roof so that it sits above any water or rain splash. During the re-roofing process, we remove the skylights, build up the curb (if necessary), foam up to tops, and then install the skylights over foam weatherstripping. The roof foam does not require curb flashing or cant strips since it is self-adhesive and self-canting.
12. Equipment Curbs
Heating and air conditioning systems are often installed on flat or low-slope roofs. Using sleepers applied directly to the roof is asking for trouble and should be avoided at all costs.
Equipment should be put on boxed curbs with sheet metal caps. The equipment is separate from the roofing system so it can be replaced without damaging the roof, and the roof can then be maintained without moving or removing the equipment.
13. Spraying Foam
When the preparation work is completed and the weather is right, the foam roofing in fort worth can be sprayed. The deck must remain dry, and the air should be warm. There should not be much wind. Moisture could disrupt the chemical reaction that forms the foam, resulting in a degraded product.
Wind can increase the amount of overspray and affect the texture of the foam. The surface must be warm (above 50 °F).
Our technicians are willing to stop operations when the conditions are not favorable for spf roof coating application.
We mask skylights, shingles, sidewalls, etc., to prevent overspraying. When we mask the edge metal, we can apply foam up and onto the edge. We spray the details first, like the edges and the roof jacks, and then we spray the field. We can walk on the foam in a few minutes since it cures quickly.
14. Grinding and detailing
The foam is then brought flush to the edge metal with a grinder, so it slopes smoothly into drains and scuppers. We grind down the foam where it looks too high or is awkward. Detailing involves the use of polyurethane caulking at critical points where the foam meets another material such as metal roofing.
15. Coating and Granules
An elastomeric coating is then applied to the foam to protect it from UV degradation. If the foam didn't have this coating, it would eventually wear out.
To achieve the specified 24-mil to 28-mil foam insulation coating, two coats are necessary and it takes about 3.0 to 4.0 gallons per square. Due to grinding, we precoat any areas that have been ground.
16. Base Coat
This type of coating is applied like a heavy paint; we brush in the details with a brush or roller, and spray the field with an airless sprayer. The base coat is tinted, so we can tell if we miss some spots with the top coat. The tint also shows through when the top coat wears out, so it functions as a recoat indicator.
17. Top Coat and Granules
After the base coat has cured (usually overnight), we spray on a top coat; before the top coat dries we embed a layer of mineral granules.
Besides creating a more uniform appearance, granules offer several functional advantages.
they speed up evaporation of rooftop water
they resist abrasive wear
they stop birds from pecking at the foam
A superior-quality granule provides additional resistance to UV rays. A typical SPF roof lasts about 12 to 15 years without recoating.
A recoating process involves power-washing the roof, applying primer, and applying a top coat. The cost of re-coating a 2,500 square foot roof will be $3 to $5 per square foot per inch.

Did you know these facts about Flower Mound?
Flower Mound is an incorporated town located in Denton and Tarrant counties in the U.S. state of Texas.Located northwest of Dallas and northeast of Fort Worth adjacent to Grapevine Lake, the town derives its name from a prominent 12.5-acre mound located in the center of town. After settlers used the site for religious camps during the 1840s, the area around Flower Mound was first permanently inhabited in the 1850s; however, residents did not incorporate until 1961. Although an effort to create a planned community failed in the early 1970s, Flower Mound's population increased substantially when Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport opened to the south in 1974. As of the 2010 United States Census, the population was 64,699, reflecting a 28% increase over the 50,702 counted in the 2000 Census.

Never been somewhere where so many people say they keep coming back. Thank you for finding me this holiday destination.
Amazing New York highlights were a Broadway show, Central Park, Empire State building and Time Square. We visited MoMA which was amazing to see all best artwork in the world, we were just not expecting it, every room we went into there was another masterpiece. Our hotel was under a mile from the subway station and we saw how the New Yorkers live and commute.
Expectations were to see lakes and mountains. But with National Park Traveller's help there was something to do everywhere we turned.
On our trip there was so much to do. We enjoyed outdoor activities and the adventurous things to do. We were nicely surprised and will be coming back for sure.
Utah was my favourite part. There was so much to do and it was like nothing I've seen before. Really liked Capitol Reef as it was much quieter and we were so close to it. Will always remember going star gazing, brilliant.
We saw loads of animals, bison, black and grizzly bear, elk, deer and even wolves in the distance. Waterfalls and lakes were magnificent and the trails that we walked were all so beautiful and well worth visiting.
We saw all of Las Vegas and really glad we've done it. All the hotels were amazing. I will always remember driving towards Las Vegas, you're just driving for hours through dessert and it suddenly pops up out of nowhere.
Every turn held more beauty than we expected. We were humbled by the size of the surrounding peaks. The feeling of being in a cathedral never left us as we stopped in deserted spots and just gazed at our surroundings.

Explore images from our travel treasures and see how we encountered the other in former times.
This collection includes many lavishly illustrated travel books, most of which date from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The travel books bear witness of the broad interests and the highly international orientation of the Jesuits. The books do not only address Catholic missionary zeal, but deal also with trade missions and scientific expeditions. The hybrid genre of Western travel writing is interesting because it potentially covers a multitude of subjects: (natural) history, religion, geography, economy, natural science, ethnography, anthropology and so on. The books are full of stories of encounters with the 'other,' thus touching on issues related to the interplay of 'other' and 'own' identities, of cultural differences and similarities. Travel descriptions do not only provide insight into other peoples and cultures, but also have much to say about the person who writes about them, notably his or her perspective, norms and values.
(Homburg, E., & Klijn, A. (Eds.). (2014). Encountering 'the other' : Travel books on north-america, japan and china from the maastricht jesuit library, 1500-1900 (Marble research papers, edition 2014, volume vi). Maastricht: Maastricht University.
These travel books are indicative of not only the cultures explored by the travellers, but also the cultures of the travellers themselves. This point of comparison has generated much interest and has been the focus of different Maastricht University activities, such as the MaRBLe research project 'On Expedition' and a study trip through China where students retraced the steps of missionaries described in 17th century Jesuit travelogues.
