Why Taper or Titrate Medication?
For many individuals seeking to come off of medication safely, stories of dramatic symptoms caused by medication withdrawal may create some doubts about the process. One can reduce the chances of extreme symptoms caused by coming off medications cold turkey, medication tapering, and titration done too aggressively 1 by seeking guidance from a local doctor or inpatient mental health facility.
For some individuals, the medication withdrawal process could lead to symptoms that overwhelm a person and negatively affect mental health, physical health, or both. In fact, many medications such as opioid pain pills, or benzodiazepines, have withdrawal effects as dangerous as alcohol withdrawal. The potential for extreme acute symptoms leads many to check-in at an inpatient detox or inpatient mental health center to monitor their withdrawal. However, a rapid detox (usually 3-7 days) is not recommended for someone wanting to avoid lingering withdrawal symptoms, or severe adverse effects. In fact, the practice has been banned in certain areas.2
Why Consider Titration Tapering vs Quitting Cold Turkey?
You are likely looking at safe options to titrate down medication or seeking information on tapering methods to reduce the dose of prescribed medication. For some types of medications, such as benzodiazepines, antidepressants, or ADHD medication, coming off of the drug cold turkey could lead to some damaging and traumatic symptoms for the user.3 The goal of any medication taper, or titration schedule, is to effectively lower the dose to a safe level, and if possible, totally eliminate the need for the drug, without causing severe or acute medication withdrawal symptoms.
In any case, it is wise to seek the assistance of your local doctor, naturopath, or holistic mental health practitioner when attempting to alter medications. At Alternative to Meds Center, we provide an inpatient holistic center to assist in medication withdrawal. Our program uses methods of medication titration tapering that guide our patients safely through the process of withdrawal, and to a point of independence from psychiatric meds, or pain pills, whenever possible. In order to understand why tapering and titration have become so popular, it can help to understand what these methods involve.

If you've upgraded to Windows 10 and are having problems with the Start Menu, then in today's post, we show you what to do to attempt to resolve the issue if your Windows 10 Start menu grayed out and unresponsive after an update.
Windows 10 Start Menu grayed out or unresponsive
Below is an image showing exactly how a Windows 10 Start menu is grayed out.
If you're experiencing this issue, try any of these recommended solutions in no particular order:
- Run the Windows Store App Troubleshooter
- Run the Start Menu Troubleshooter
- Re-register the Windows Store
- Update the Graphics Card Driver
- Run the SFC/DISM scan.
Now, let's take a detailed look at these possible solutions.
1] Run the Windows Store App Troubleshooter
Running the Windows Store App troubleshooter can help fix this issue in some cases. So it's suggested you try it and see if that helps.
2] Run the Start Menu Troubleshooter
The Start Menu troubleshooter is another one that might come in handy for fixing grayed out Start menu.
Once you have downloaded the tool, do the following:
- Open the troubleshooter.
- Click Advanced.
- Select Apply repairs automatically.
- Then press the Next button to run through the troubleshooter's fixes.
3] Re-register the Windows Store
Corrupted installed Windows Store files can cause the issue of grayed out Start menu. Consequently, re-registering the Windows Store app might resolve the issue. Here's how:
Launch PowerShell in admin mode.
In the PowerShell window, copy and paste the command below and hit Enter:
'Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)AppXManifest.xml"}'
Restart your device.
After re-registering Windows Store, you'll need to reset the Windows Store's cache.
To do that, press Windows key + R.
In the Run dialog box, type the command below and hit Enter:
The Windows Store app might then update and fix the grayed out Start menu issue.
Also, you can run the command below in PowerShell elevated mode, then restart your computer and see if that helps.
Get-appxpackage -all shellexperience -packagetype bundle |% {add-appxpackage -register -disabledevelopmentmode ($_.installlocation + "\appxmetadata\appxbundlemanifest.xml")}
4] Update the Graphics Card Driver
Try updating GPU drivers. This issue is known to have been caused by NVIDIA drivers before so if you have one of those, update NVIDIA drivers. Here's how:
- Press Windows key + R. In the Run dialog box, type dxdiag hit Enter.
- Note down the operating system and graphics card model details on the System and Display tabs respectively.
- Next, navigate to your graphics card manufacturer's website in a browser.
- Open the driver section of the website.
- Then select your graphics card model and Windows platform from the site's drop-down menus. If the site has a driver search box, enter your graphics card model there.
- Download the most update driver that's compatible with your 64 or 32-bit computer architecture.
- Thereafter, double-click the driver installer from the folder you downloaded it to, to install the graphics card driver.
Once the driver installation is complete, restart the PC and see if the issue is resolved.
5] Run the SFC/DISM scan
Performing the SFC/DISM scan operation can help resolve this issue. The procedure simply replaces corrupt/damaged system files with fresh healthy copies – it also can rebuild the installed Windows 10 system image.
For the purposes of ease and convenience, you can run the scan using the procedure below.
Open Notepad – copy and paste the command below into the text editor.
@echo off date /t & time /t echo Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup echo ... date /t & time /t echo Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth echo ... date /t & time /t echo SFC /scannow SFC /scannow date /t & time /t pause
Save the file with a name and append the .bat file extension – eg; SFC_DISM_scan.bat.
Repeatedly run the batch file with admin privilege (right-click the saved file and select Run as Administrator from the context menu) until it reports no errors – at which point you can now restart your PC and see if the grayed out Start menu issue has been resolved.
That's it, folks – All the best!

What did we just do?
That was the question we asked ourselves when we brought home our first alpacas.
I'm sure you've asked yourself the same question when you brought home your first pet or even your first child.
No matter how much you prepared for their arrival, it's still a shock of reality that you just brought something home that will change your life forever.
When we made arrangements to bring our first two alpacas home, we did as much preparation in advance as we could:
It wasn't until we brought our first two alpacas home (Tauri & Fiona in December 2014) that we realized there were still many shortcomings that we didn't know we had.
In hindsight, these issues seemed monumental at the time, because we were new to keeping alpacas and didn't know the answers - and that's okay! It is absolutely okay to not know because how will anyone know unless they develop experience.
Over time, there were changes we wanted to make on our farm and figured out the best solutions for us:
These are a few basics from our experience to think about if you are wondering if you could have alpacas. Every farm will have its own unique circumstances and challenges. Here are a few other things to consider:
How many alpacas should you get?
If you're wondering whether alpacas might be right for you, consider scheduling an alpaca 101 farm tour with us to get an in-person understanding of what's involved in an alpaca's day-to-day care. You can also schedule a "meet the alpacas" farm tour or simply shop our farm store.

A beautiful and ambitious plan envisioned a rigorous change: a parking lot besides a busy road was to be transformed into a park, right in the middle of central Apeldoorn. It required the construction of an underground parking garage, a low-traffic area, new bicycle paths and a prominent role for the local brook, The Grift, that after a long time was to be brought above ground again.
OKRA landscape architects designed a city park, the Catherina Amalia Park, that adds a green gateway to the inner city and creates a space to meet and mingle for different groups of residents and visitors. Under this city park in Apeldoorn, architectural studio ZJA designed a two-story parking garage with a capacity for 240 cars. During the weekends the garage is entirely accessible for public use, during the working week half of the slots are claimed by employees of the nearby land registry office.
A charming parking garage
Basic principle for the design by ZJA was a maximum integration of the structure into the green environment of the park. Entrance and exit are hidden in a gentle slope covered with greenery. The pavilion with pedestrian entrance is situated right in front of the path crossing the restored brook and has a light and simple look. Two staircases cross each other in opposite directions in this transparent structure, that is painted in subdued colours to merge with its surroundings. Grasses and small trees are planted on the roof of the garage.
Whereas the upper world is green, the underground world of the parking garage is a radiant red. The garage has a simple rectangular shape, with every care taken to enhance a sense of overview, safety and clarity. There are no dark corners, no technical installations that obstruct the view. This space offers a maximum in clarity achieved by minimizing the number of columns. That was possible due to a smartly designed very light roof structure, consisting among other elements of a layer of polystyrene foam. Another remarkable feature is the absence of visible rafters and ventilation systems. Cables and ducting are also kept out of view. The ceilings are smooth and white. All these elements together provide a spacious effect, which, in combination with the bright colours, the undulating walls and the strong indirect LED lighting creates a safe and yes, even a cheerful atmosphere.
Clear graphic means are applied to help easy wayfinding: ceilings are smooth and white, lanes grey, walls red. There is ample lighting for all parking slots. The combination of the powerful red colour and the wave pattern in the walls offer a regular but fascinating optical effect. Pictograms and arrows are blown up to XXL size for a playful touch.
A new park
The idea behind the Catherina Amalia Park is the rudimentary simulation of a small valley that is typical of the surrounding region (Veluwe), with its gentle slopes and slightly deepened paths. This layout enhances the impression of crossing a vast green area. The flowing brook that is brought to the surface once again is made wider in the middle of the park between banks of natural stone. It creates a pond with an angular bend. A bicycle path cuts through the park alongside a central crossing to guide pedestrians to and from the entrance of the garage.
The parking garage Brinklaan fits seamlessly into the Catherina Amalia Park with its flowing brook, completely covered by green as it is. It is designed for easy access and offers a comfortable and pleasant space to leave your car behind and explore the inner city of foot.

A unique blend of urban fashion and folk masonry, this side-hall town house was enlarged in 1796 (datestone) by County Register and Recorder Jeremiah Simpson, who incorporated one of Sunbury's first houses behind a front addition in an updated Federal style with a fanlight entrance, carved and dentiled cornice, and keystone lintels over the two-over-two windows. The masonry, however, is the work of an imaginative builder. Oversized fieldstones cut into circles and diamonds ornament the facades, forming a raised patterned stringcourse between the two stories with a decorative vertical band running down the center of the gable ends.

WHS Connector Restart Error in Windows 8.0/8.1
2013-12-07 10:46
After upgrading to Windows 8.1, you may find your Windows Home Server dashboard no longer works. The solution for me was:
- Uninstall the connector.
- Open a command prompt and run ipconfig /flushdns.
- Reinstall the connector by going to http://[WHSname]/connect.
However, in my case I would get an error "Cannot connect the computer to the server because either another software installation is in progress or, the computer has a restart pending…."
Try restarting. If that doesn't solve the problem, a registry key needs to be deleted.
- Open regedit.exe.
- Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager
- Delete the key PendingFileRenameOperations

Lebanese parade down Broad Street this evening
on my way into WRIR this evening, saw a whole parade of cars, trucks, limousines and Stretch HUM V's.. all waving a RED GREEN AND WHITE flag with some type of tree in the center and honking... ((followed by some crazy white guy with a cigarrette pack in his sleeve and a sunburn who ran after them yelling crazy nonsense...)) a guy in a white tuxedo on the roof of the limo yelled "yeah man! god bless america! " then i saw the next few cars with women wearing Hijab driving and honking their horns, and all the cars had these red green and white flags... was this a Lebanese wedding parade? a surprise show of Lebanese pride? a show of outrage?
either way, i wish i had my camera...
( this may have actually been an Iraqi or Kuwaiti flag, they're pretty similar color schemes...)

Planeta is the leading Spanish-language publishing group in Spain and Latin America. It is also prominent in Portugal and France, where it owns Editis, the country's second largest publishing company. Planeta is continuing to expand with an emphasis on reading groups, international cooperation projects, and digital, with the creation of e-book distribution platform Libranda and Nubico, a cloud-based reading platform with a flat subscription rate.
Grupo Planeta is present in 25 countries, with more than 100 imprints and a catalogue of 15,000 authors.
Aside from book publishing, the group has shares in the newspaper La Razón; the television company Grupo AtresMedia, which includes two of Spain's top three channels, Antena 3 and La Sexta; and the country's second-largest radio station, Onda Cero. Planeta's Learning and university division reaches more than 100,000 students from MBA to university degrees in Barcelona, Madrid, and online.
The owner family's Fundación José Manuel Lara is a main sponsor of cultural events.
Analysis & Key Developments
Grupo Planeta revenues from Publishing, Media, and Learning and universities divisions increased to 3 billion euros in 2015. The growth was due to the consolidation of the publishing division with full integration of Círculo de Lectores, the largest book club in Spain with one million members, into Grupo Planeta in Spain. Other factors were the acquisition of Volumen, the second largest book distributor in France, and the incorporation of the publishing house Sonatine into Editis. The recent increase in consumer spending in Spain also led to growth, and book sales in the country rose higher than the overall consumer market. This development has been seen in France and Latin America as well.
Planeta's Grupo Atresmedia division is the country's market leader in television and radio. There is potential for further growth in the division due the improving economy.
The Grupo Planeta Learning and University Division acquired a university in Spain dedicated to the tourism industry. The division also expanded by developing an ambitious professional training plan in partnership with the Bertelsmann Foundation, the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce, and others.

Organic/inorganic hybrid interfaces play a prominent role in organic (opto)electronics, heterogeneous catalysis, sensors, and other current fields of technology. The performance of the related devices and processes depends critically on the nature and strength of interfacial interaction. Here, we use the molecular isomers naphthalene (Nt) and azulene (Az) on the Ag(111) and Cu(111) surfaces as model systems that cover different bonding regimes from physisorption to chemisorption. Az also serves as a model for nonalternant molecular electronic materials and for topological 5–7 defects in graphene. The interaction energies are determined from the quantitative analysis of temperature-programmed desorption data. On both surfaces, Az binds more strongly than Nt, with zero-coverage desorption energies (in kJ/mol) of 120 for Az/Ag and 179 for Az/Cu, compared to 103 for Nt/Ag and 114 for Nt/Cu. The integrated experimental energies are compared with adsorption energies from density-functional theory (DFT) calculations, which include van der Waals contributions using four different correction schemes for the PBE functional: (1) the DFT-D3 scheme with Becke–Johnson damping, (2) the vdWsurf correction based on DFT-TS, (3) a many-body dispersion correction scheme, and (4) the D3surf scheme. Differences in the performance of these methods are discussed. Periodic energy decomposition analysis reveals details of the surface chemical bond and confirms that Az/Cu forms a chemisorptive bond, while the other systems are physisorbed. The variation of the adsorbate–substrate interaction with the topology of the π-electron system and the type of surface can be employed to modify the interface properties in graphene-based and organic electronic devices.

Vision Statement:
Delivering automated service delivery through technology innovation, culture and the business drivers that help redefine consolidation through a self-service experience as an integral part of an organization's digital strategy.
Mission Statement:
By transitioning from legacy to a digital first approach we can efficiently increase the business logic and outcomes for the lines of business that rely on process methodology, technology and people. Core NX-OS is leveraging the business centric services stack (BCSS) to take advantage of a loosely coupled software architecture supporting best-of-breed approach. As well, serving as a high-level reference to show how to build a foundation fabric first then build upwards towards an end-to-end stack, with modularity as a core functionality. This level of software abstraction allows for the fabric to deliver application networking requirements in the form of consumable services (*aaS) by fronting everything with an API and enhancing the experience layer through a ChatOps methodology within any type or level of service management.
Purpose Statement:
Building a full integration stack to modernize culture into a more ChatOps methodology and approach to everyday work life through API consumption & delivery. This top down end-to-end visibility into the underlying infrastructure streamlines Infrastructure/Operational agility and effectiveness that delivers greater capabilities and higher efficiency levels within Infrastructure, Platform, and Software as a service consumption models.

Please do not say the phrase Day (Number) out loud, until you have completed the ritual below. If you say this phrase it is considered that you have "counted the Omer" without the appropriate Blessing and ritual and you lesson the energy involved.
Starting on the second day of Pesach which is the evening of the16th day of Nissan begins the counting of the Omer. This ritual is part of the process of earning the Light of Shavuot, which is the Light of the Revelation of the Torah. This ritual helps you build your vessel in order to reveal the Light of the Torah.
This is a reminder to pick up your small package of salt. There is a Minhag of the Kabbalists to hold in their right hand a "little salt". This action sweetens the period of the Omer since it acts as a protection shield in a number of ways. The Hebrew word for salt is Melach, the same letters as the shoresh for war. So salt acts as a vaccine against war during this time. Also the gematria of Melach is 78 which is 3 times the gematria of the Tetragrammaton. The 3 creates a protection shield for all three columns. Hint: There is no need to use new salt every day during the counting. Just put a little salt in a plastic bag. Then use this salt on your Shavuot Milk Meal Shavuot Morning. The energy of your vessel building is being inserted into the salt and will fulfill your vessel upon receiving the Torah Shavuot Morning.
Night of April 8 2023 which is 18th of Nissan in the year התשׁפג
Please, say all of the below (if unable to read the Hebrew scan the Hebrew letters prior to saying the transliteration) while standing and facing East towards Jerusalem or the Rising of the Sun.
The traditional steps of the ritual are delineated as "traditional", prior to that step. The additional steps are delineated as additional, also prior to that step. It is recommended that you do all of the steps both traditional and additional each day. If time considerations are an issue then please do the traditional steps while doing the additional steps later when you do have the time.
It is best to do the ritual as close right after sundown (in the evening - when you can see three stars in the night sky) as possible. If one has forgotten to do one day and remembers to do so during the day then one should not say the Blessing which is step 3, but do the rest of the ritual. If one has forgotten to do one of the days, the Halacha says there is no way to make it up. I suggest that one make up the missed count without the Blessing (step 3) and then procede to continue the count with the appropriate count and Blessing. It is better to do the Mitzvah even partially then to stop doing it altogether.
We stand during this process of performing the ritual so that we can be available to draw the Light of Cleansing. When ever we sit in a process of prayer we are manifesting the energy of that particular prayer. An example of this is the saying of the Shema Israel. This draws the energy of Healing and thus we sit when saying this so that we may manifest that Light of Healing.
1. This step will cause your soul to knowingly do this Mitzvah with the proper Kavenah (intention).
Please say the following:
Leshem Yechud Kudsha Berich Hu VeShekintay (יאהדונהי) Bidchilu Urchimu (יאההויהה) Urchimu Udchilu (איההיוהה) Leyachda Shem Yood Hay and Vav Hay Beyachuda Shalaim (יהוה) BeShem Kol Israel Henay Anachnu Ba'Aim Lekayaim Mitzvat Sephirat HaOmer. LaAsot Nachat Ruach LeYotzranu VeLaAsot Ratzon Boranu. Vayhi Noam Adonai Elohainu Alainu UmaAsay Yadainu Connah Alainu Yamaseh Yadainu Conanaihu.
For the sake of unification between the Holy Blessed One and His Shechinah, with fear and love and with Love and Fear, in order to unify the Name Yood Hay and Vav Hay in perfect unity, and in the Name of all Israel, we have hereby come to fulfill the commandment of the counting of the Omer. In order to give pleasure to our Maker and to fulfill the wish of our Creator. May the pleasantness of HaShem, our God, be upon us and may He establish the work of our hands for us and may the work of our hands establish Him.
Step 2. Here are some additional Verses to say or scan.
תהלים TeHiLiM Psalms 138:8
Adonai Yigmor BeAdi Adonai Chasdecha LeOlam MaAsay Yadicha El Teref.
The LORD will accomplish that which concerneth me; Thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever; forsake not the work of Thine own hands.
תהלים TeHiLiM Psalms 57:3
Ehkrah LaiElohim Elyon LaEil Gomair Alai:
I will cry unto God Most high; unto God that accomplisheth it for me.
יחזקאל YeHeZKeL Ezekiel 16:6
VaEhEhVor AhLaYiech VaEhrAich MitBoSehSeht BeDaMaYich VayOmar Lach BeDaMaYich ChaYi VaOMaR Lach BeDaMaYich ChaYai:
And when I passed by thee, and saw thee wallowing in thy blood, I said unto thee: In thy blood, live; yea, I said unto thee: In thy blood, live;
תהלים TeHiLiM Psalms 104:1
Barki Nafshi Et Adonai Elohim Elohai Gadalta Meod Hod Vehadar LaVashta:
Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, Thou art very great; Thou art clothed with glory and majesty.
תהלים TeHiLiM Psalms 104:2
Oteh Ohr Kasalma NoTeh Shamayim KaiRiAh:
Who coverest Thyself with light as with a garment, who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain;
Step 3. Say this Blessing which activates Surrounding Light or Ohr Makif.
Traditional - review the discussion above regarding when not to say this Blessing.
This link (below) teaches the Kavenah for all Blessings. It is recommended that you familiarize yourself with this Kavenah and do this with every Blessing that you say. It will enhance your connection to the Creator.
Baruch Ata Adonai (יוד הא ואו הא)Ehlohainu Melech HaOLam Asher KidShanu BeMitzvotav Vetzivanu Al Sephirat HaOmer:
Blessed are You Hashem Our God, King of the Universe, Who set us aside in order to sanctify us with his Mitzvot and instructed us to Count the Omer (at this time).
Specific Kavenah to this Blessing.
Large Hebrew Letters above have a Gematria of 65 which is the same as Adonai, a Name of God relating to Malchut or manifestation. Malchut is our physical world.
Step 4. Saying the next Hebrew Statment is the actual "Counting of the Omer"
The purpose of Counting the Omer is to climb the Tree of Life Sephira by Sephira, as well as to count up to the Day of Shavuot with anticipation. We actually count in three different ways. One is to count days. One is to count days of weeks and the third way is to count the Sephirot. Today we only count in two ways. This is because of the unity expressed in the number ONE.
HaYom Shelosha Yamim LaOmer
Today is Day Three of the Omer
Specific Kavenah
Please consider in what ways the triangel expressed by the number three causes balance to return from the tension involved with the two different columns of sharing and receiving?
Step 5. Ohr Penimi - Inner Light
HaRachaman Hu YaChazeir Ahvodat Bait Hamikdash Limkomah Bimharah BeYamanu AMEN:
The Merciful One, He will return the Service of the Holy Temple to its place, speedily, in our days. And we all say Amen.
Step 6. Per the ARI (Rabbi Issac Luria) we utilize Psalm 67 in 2 specific ways to cleanse specific attributes of our character in order to elevate a specific Sephira. This Psalm is unique in that it has 7 verses with 49 words and the middle verse has 49 Letters. We will utilize a word each day (Large Bold Letters) during the counting and also a Letter (Large Bold Italic Letter) within the middle verse for spiritual cleansing. The more one learns about each Letter and Word the stronger, more thorough their cleansing will be. The cleansing of a specific character trait allows one to move higher (closer) to Hashem. This is called Building Your Vessel in Kabbalah.
תהלים TeHiLiM Psalms 67
Verse 1: For the Leader; with string-music. A Psalm, a Song.
This first verse does not count as one of the 7 verses as it is describing the type of Psalm:
Verse 2
EloHim YaChaNanu VeVarkanu YaAir Panav ETanu Selah:
God be gracious unto us, and bless us; may He cause His face to shine toward us; Selah
Vevarkanu is a word that means "Bless Us". It also has the meaning of "bending our knees". What does it mean to you to "bend your knees". Does it mean praying or submitting to the Yoke of Heaven? What do you have to do to submit to the Yoke of Heaven? In what way do you need to change yourself? In what ways do you bless others? increase the ways you bless others? How does this bring you and them closer to Hashem?
LadaAt BaAretz Darkehcha Bekal Goyim YeShuAhTecha
That Thy way may be known upon earth, Thy salvation among all nations.
Verse 4
Yoducha Ahmim Elohim Yoducha Ahmim KuLam:
Let the peoples give thanks unto Thee, O God; let the peoples give thanks unto Thee, all of them.
Verse 5
Yismechu Verannu LeUMiM Ki TeshPot AhMiM MiShor Ulumim BaAretz Tanchaim SELAH:
O let the nations be glad and sing for joy; for Thou wilt judge the peoples with equity, and lead the nations upon earth. Selah
There are actually only 48 Letters in this verse not 49 as the ARI teaches. He adds one Italic Vav's to equal a total of 49 Letters. This is quite a common technique since the vowel itself is the Vav only the word is spelled incompletely and will change when the Mashiach arrives.
The Letter Mem is a Mother Letter which connects to Loving Kindness or Chesed and Water. In what way can you increase your connection to Loving Kindness. How can you share more while removing your expectation to receive something in return?
Verse 6
Yoducha Ahmim Elohim Yoducha Ahmim KuLam:
Let the peoples give thanks unto Thee, O God; let the peoples give thanks unto Thee, all of them.
Verse 7
Ehretz Natnah Yevulah Yevarkanu Elohim Ehlohainu:
The earth hath yielded her increase; may God, our own God, bless us.
Verse 8
Yevarkanu Elohim VeYeru Oto Kal Afsai Aretz:
May God bless us; and let all the ends of the earth fear Him.
Step 7: It is now time to say the Ana Bekoach which has 42 words (actually 49 - the seventh word in each verse is the word with all of the first letters of the other six words - they are printed at the end of the verse). This is the 4th cleansing tool that we will utilize tonight. The Letter that we will use tonight will be large and bolded. Stop and meditate on that Letter using the Kavenah written below the verse.
Verse 1
Kavenah on First Verse
Meditation while saying the first verse of the Ana Bekoach is "unconditional Love". As well as removing the negative aspect of the physical world as well as the Power of Redemption.
Tzerurah Tatir Yemincha Gedulat BeCoach Ana
7th word is pronounced Aleph Bet Gimmel Yood Taf Tzadi
Please - with Power - Greatness - Your Right Side - Releasing - Knot
Meditate on the Gimmel which has a gematria of three. The gimmel has the meaning of "render" or "ripen". With different vowels it means a camel. What is the nature of a Camel? Within itself it conserves water. Water has the consciousness of Loving Kindness. Use this gimmel to grow the consciousness of Loving Kindness within yourself! Then use your increased Loving Kindness to share it with others. Contemplate how you can accomplish this.
Verse 2
Kavenah on Second Verse
Meditation while saying the second verse of the Ana Bekoach is "Tearing Up Satan" and "Guarding our Gates". Our gates (eyes, ear, nose, and mouth) are the entry point for the negative system.
Norah Taharenu Sagvenu Amcha Rinat Kabel
7th word is pronounced Koof Resh Ayin Sin Tet Nun
Awesome - Purified - Our Praise - Your People - Rejoicing - Receive
Verse 3
Kavenah on Third Verse
Meditation while saying the third verse of the Ana Bekoach is Parnassus and Sustenance and returning the energy that we gave away.
Shamraim Cevavat YeChudecha Dorshai Gibor Na
7th word is pronounced Nun Gimmel Dalet Yood Caf Shin
Observe - Like a Letter Bet - Your uniqueness - Demand - Strengthen - Please
Verse 4
Kavenah on fourth Verse
Meditation while saying the fourth verse of the Ana Bekoach is Eternal Victory and Acknowledgment
Gamlaim Tamid Tzidkatecha Rachamai Tacharaim Barchaim
7th word is pronouncedBet Tet Resh Tzadi Taf Gimmel
Grant Them - Eternal - Righteous - Compassion - Purify Them - Bless Them
Verse 5
Kavenah on fifth Verse
Meditation while saying the fifth verse of the Ana Bekoach is Appreciation and Thankfulness
Adatecha Nahail Toovcha Barchaim Kadosh Chasin
7th word is pronouncedChet Koof Bet Tet Nun Ayin
Your People - Govern - Goodness - Abundance - Holy - Invincible Your
Verse 6
Kavenah on sixth Verse
Meditation while saying the sixth verse of the Ana Bekoach is "spreading the wisdom of Kabbalah"
Kedushatecha Zochrai Penai Le-Amcha Ga-eh Yachid
7th word is pronouncedYood Gimmel Lamed Pey Zion Koof
Your Holiness - Remember - Turn - Your People - Proud - Unity
Verse 7
Kavenah on seventh Verse
Meditation while saying the seventh verse of the Ana Bekoach is "completion and perfection through / with Loving Kindness"
Ta-Alumot Yodaya Tziakatanu Ooshmah Kabel Shavatanu
7th word is pronouncedShin Koof Vav Tzadi Yood Taf
Hidden - You Know - Our Wail - And Hear - Receive - Our Cry
Verse 8
This Verse is said "silently" in a whisper
This verse grounds any excess energy
Va-Ed Le-Olam Malchuto Kevod Shem Baruch
Forever World Your Kingdom Honor Name Blessing
Step 8: The Baal Shem Tov teaches that the 42 stops that the Children of Israel made while in the desert for 40 years is a metaphor for the Stages of our Life and can also be used for the steps of any process. Here is the teaching by Rabbi Simon Jacobson expanding the teaching of the Baal Shem Tov by using modern psychology.
Third Journey - Sukkot to Etham at the end of the desert
This Journey is connected to the Gimmel of the First Verse in the Ana Bekoach.
Etam, in ancient Egyptian, means "seashore." Some identify Etham with the Egyptian Chetem, which denotes a fortress. After early childhood, when we are completely dependent on parents for sustenance and protection, we begin to emerge from the "fortress" as we start to develop a sense of independence. This stage is comparable to a "seashore," a boundary between exploring the new world around us and scurrying back for approval and guidance from our parents. At this phase in our lives we are not yet quite thrown into the desert, yet we are its edge, as we become acquainted with an alien and insensitive world.
In what way do you need to explore your limits and transition from the protection of your nature to going outside your comfort zone while maintaining a safer process and a protection shield like the child who has his parents to support him?
Step 9: We will now count the Sephirot as part of the "Counting of the Omer".
Please say the following in which ever language you prefer. Hebrew is recommended, due to the energy that it generates:
Ribono Shel Olam, Ata Tzivitanu All Ydi Moshe Avdecha LiSPor Sepherot HaOMeR KeDai LetaHaRaiNu MiklePoTaNu UMTuMATaiNu KiMo ShKaTaVTa BeToRaTach: USPaRTaM LaChem MimCHaRaT HaSHaBaT MeYoM HaVeAhCHeM ET OMeR HaTeNuFah SheVa SheBaToT TeMiMoT Te'YeNa: MiMaCHaRaT HaSHaBaT HaSHVeIT TeSaFRU CHaMiSHiM YoM KeDai SHeYeTaHaRu NaFSHoT AhMCHa YiSRaEL MeZoHaMaTaM: UVCHaiN YeHi RaTZoN MilFaNeCHa HaShem ELoHaNu ELoHai AVoTaNu SheBiZKuT SeFiRuT HaOMeR SHeSeFaRTi HaYoM YeTuKaN Ma SHePaGaMTe BeSePHeRa
Master of the World, You have Commanded us through Moshe Your Sevant to enumerate the Counting of the Omer, in order to purify us from the Klipot and ou defilements. This is as it is written in Your Torah: And you shall count for yourselves, from the day following the Shabbat, from the day on which you bring the portion of your wave offering, there shall be 7 complete weeks, until the day following the seventh week. You shall count 50 days so that the spirits of your Nation Israel shall be purified from their defilements (Leviticus 23:15-16): Therefore may it be pleasing before you HaShem our God and the God of our ForeFathers, that by virtue of the Counting of the Omer, that i have counted today, the flow that i have caused in the Sefirah of
Kavenah and Actual Counting
Tiferet Shebe Chesed
Balance and Beauty within Loving Kindness
Instruction and Kavenah for meditation
After saying the above phrase, (which is the actual counting of the Sephira) STOP and meditate on what is the meaning of this phrase. Here are some attributes that will help you. Realize that this list is not complete.
Balance; Beauty; Splendor; Magnificent; Adornment
Hesed is Loving Kindness. This whole week starting tonight is in the frame of Loving Kindness. What is Loving Kindness? How does it differ from Loving Mercy or Tiferet? In what ways do you show Loving Kindness to yourself? to Others? How do you receive Loving Kindness from Others? What can you do in your life to Show additional Loving Kindness to Others? How can you enhance your inner Beauty? How can you enhance Balance in your life today? What do you need to change about yourself to acheive that in this life right now?
Continue to finish the paragraph as follows:
VeTaHaiR VeETKaDeSH BeKDuSHa SHeL MaALa Amein SeLah:
will be corrected and i shall be purified and sanctified with supernal sanctity, AMEN SELAH:
You have now finished the Traditional Counting of the Omer. Please continue as the additional sections will help you to build your vessel to receive the Light of the Torah which is revealed on Shavuot.
Step 10: Each day of the year there are Tzadikim (Righteous People) who have chosen to leave this world on a particular day. There is a connection between these souls and this day. They ask us to utilize their connection to Hashem, to strengthen our own connection to Hashem, and to our spiritual actions during this day.
The more one learns about a particular Tzadik, the better is ones connection to their connection. All these actions are bringing us closer to Hashem.
Historically Birthdays have not been celebrated by the Jewish World until the last 200 - 300 years. Kabbalah teaches that the Birthdate represent the Keter or potential of the Soul while the Death Anniversary or Hilula represents the actual accomplishments of the Soul. While the Hilula is the stronger of the two from our perspective we can also utilize the Birth Date of a Tzadik to assist us in our spiritual connection.
Step 11: Rabbi Chaim Drizin (firstname.lastname@example.com) teaches that there is a correlation between the Sephira we just counted and the 55 Prophets from the Book of Prophets in the Tanach. By studying the verses that were channeled to US through these male and female Prophets we enhance our connection to the Sephira and continue to build our vessel.
Rabbi Drizin teaches that the Prophet associated with Gevurah SheBeChesed is Yaacov Avinu. He suggests we read section of Genesis that connects us to the Keter relationship with Yaacov from the Tanach. Here are a few verses and it is our intention to add more verses as time permits.
Beraishit Chapter 21 Verse 2-7
to be done later
And after that came forth his brother, and his hand had hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob. And Isaac was threescore years old when she bore them.
This verse is the first verse in the Torah where Yaacov is mentioned. Thus it is the seed level or the Keter of our knowledge of Yaacov
The Torah explains that there is a constant seesaw relationship between Yaacov and Esau. When one becomes stronger the other weaker and vice a versa.
Step 12: Here is some additional insights into the consciousness of Chesed SheBe Chesed from Rabbi Drizin, as well as some additional thoughts from Chanoch
Kevenah about Tiferet She Be Chesed
Reading these will help to grow your vessel. Meditation using these letters of תפארת שבחסד after reading the Kavenah will also be beneficial.
Tiferet SheBe Chesed has a external gematria of 1455. 1455 is 1000 plus 455. This becomes 456 when we convert 1000 which is the word Aleph to 1 which is the letter Aleph. 456 is the gematria of the word death. We thus see that the vaccine against death is Tiferet Shebe Chesed.
All this week contemplate the meaning of Chesed using these descriptions
Loving Kindness Between Man and G-d
1. A person should contemplate the kindnesses of HaShem, Blessed be He, namely how much good G-d does with His creations in general and with me specifically. And he should contemplate that he is neither worthy nor deserving to receive the kindnesses of G-d, Blessed be He. Yet G-d is greatly kind and gives him unearned kindness, and with this intent, the person will be overwhelmed and he will love HaShem, Blessed is He, with a great love. It comes out that he attains the attribute of Chesed (which is this love and greatness) through the attribute of Chesed itself (for with it is the action of kindness).
2. Also, by his being overwhelmed and by his love of the Creator, Blessed is He, he will acquire an acquisition within his soul to do kindness (Chesed) with his Creator. That is to say, he will behave in all of his actions beyond the letter of the law. It comes out that he completes his love to the Creator, Blessed is He (which is rooted in Hesed) by way of his doing kindness (Chesed) with his Creator.
3. When he busies himself with the mitzvah of Chesed, he should intend to awaken the supernal attribute of Chesed so that it should be completed in its flowing of Hesed to do good to the world. It comes out that he draws down the attribute of Chesed in the world by his actions of kindness.
Loving Kindness Between Man and Man
1. One should look at the actions of his friend with a good [generous] eye and with love, and by way of this, he will come to judge him favorably. Through this, he will by way of seeing in his friend the good point within him and with this he is doing his his friend kindness, especially if his friend is pious or a Kohen, and it comes out that he completes and attains the attribute of Chesed (which includes these terms love, good, pious and Kohen), by way of Chesed itself (meaning judging favorably and doing kindness).
2. Moreover, he should attempt to do good to those who sin, and to do kindness to them (but not G-d forbid to cause them to continue to sin) in a way that they will be inspired by his actions and they will come by way of this to recognize the greatness of the Creator, Blessed is He, who commanded upon Chesed. They will then return through repentance and in that way one attains the Chesed with others outside of himself by behaving with the attribute of Chesed.
3. He should be prepared to relinquish his piety in order to fulfill the mitzvah of doing kindness to others. Also, when he receives kindness from others, he should attempt to do kindness with the one who is giving the kindness, that is to say, he should not exert too much upon the one who is doing the kindness to him. With all the kindness he does, he should attempt to accomplish more kindness. It comes out that he completes the attribute of Chesed with the attribute of Chesed itself, as is elaborated by the Sefer Omer HaTenufah, and these are his words:
The attribute of Chesed sh'beChesed teaches us the knowledge to understand that when a person does kindness to his friend as is the Mitzvot of the Torah, nevertheless, the Chesed is complete only based upon the kindness which is in it, that is, to give the poor man at a time when things are cheap or at the time that he needs it more. Our Sages of blessed memory teach us in the Gemara Sukkah 49b on the verse from Hoshea "and you shall reap based on the kindness." This is hinted to by the attribute of Chesed sh'beChesed, which teaches us that even in the kindness and the charity there is a greater level of inner praise of Chesed, that is, in the necessary time as we have explained.
With Physical Acts
One should use one's right hand to do kindness, for example to give charity to a poor man with one's right hand. So too one should give food to one's guests specfically with one's right hand. And if he needs to bring close his son to hug him, he should attempt to do this with the right hand. It comes out that he completes the limb of Chesed (the right hand) with the actions of Chesed.
In Time
1. He should do kindness during the day, and in particular in the morning
2. He should attempt to connect in the Morning Prayers which were established by Avraham Avinu, in the blessings of Yotzer before reading the Shema with the blessing Ahavah Rabbah, and in the Amidah, during the blessing of Selach Lanu.
Please see our classes on Morning Prayer on the Yeshshem website.
3. When one says the Name Kel, he should intend that it corresponds to Chesed during the recitation of this Name especially during the Morning Prayers.
Step 13: The Pirkei Avot teaches 48 ways to ACQUIRE TORAH
The third method to Acquire the Torah taught in the Pirke Avot Chapter 6 is by Speech. Listenting is said to "Pierce the Heart.
Here is some insights on this "Way" from the website Revach.net
Arichas Sefasayim - Get The Word Out
"Oib Es Felt In Hasbara Es Felt In Havana". This famous quote, often attributed to Rav Chaim Volozhin, tells us that something may seem very clear in your mind but when you try to articulate it suddenly things break down. Verbalizing your thoughts helps crystalize them and it is a good litmus test of true understanding.
Interestingly, when you count money or if you've watched other people do so, you may have noticed that they count out loud. Not that counting is that complicated but when it comes to precious money no one wants to make a mistake, and articulating the numbers is going to give you more accurate results than by counting in the recesses of your mind. Similarly showing gratitude or remorse in a variety of ways often does not do the job until you have said the magic words like "Thank you" or "I'm sorry". Only by hearing this sentiment articulated from your lips does the other person feel that your appreciation or regret is clear in your mind. Sadly even when it comes to Lashon Hara, two people can both be thinking the same thing about the same person for a very obvious reason, yet their Yetzer hara is not appeased until the gossip has escaped their lips in all the gory detail.
Torah is complex. We can build complex structures in our mind. But just like mere thoughts, we need to express them verbally, to test them if they are truly coherent. If they pass this minimal test then they have a better chance of standing the test of time and remaining with you longer than a fleeting thought.
There will be more added to this section in coming years.
Are you careful about what you speak?

- This topic has 9 replies, 20 voices, and was last updated 9 years, 4 months ago by Sushil Adhikari.
May 11, 2014 at 7:35 pm #15128
I was experimenting with layerslider, so I made a couple of slides. I was happy with them and I decided to remove the footer and the top and bottom widgets so to have just the logo, the menus and the slider as my home page.
Removing the top and bottom widgets caused no issue but removing the footer did. There is now a black band just below the copyright that doesn't want to go away.
Do you have any suggestions?
The page is here: http://nsc2.northstarcomputers.ie/
Thank youMay 11, 2014 at 7:56 pm #19867
That is the copyright-wrapper container…there is actually a colour option setting for the background of it (default is black) and the text (default is white).May 11, 2014 at 8:02 pm #19868
I have seen the color setting but that is not the issue i believe. I attach a screenshot.
I did change the colors, that only makes the copyright disappear but the black band remains as if it is a ghost footer….
screenshot.jpgMay 11, 2014 at 8:43 pm #19869
You mean all the black area below? That is the page background…you can change that from Appearance >> BackgroundMay 11, 2014 at 9:00 pm #19870
Sorry for wasting your time…. doh….. now the issue has evolved.
Screenshot2 is at 1600×1200 on my 22″ monitor, and the copyright banner is not at the bottom.
Screenshot3 is at 1440×900 on my 19″ monitor and the banner is where it should be.
Is this not what a responsive theme should do when the screen resolution changes?
I know that not many users might have a 22″ screen at 1600×1200 but for those that do it doesn't look right.
Is there a quick CSS fix that can take care of the resizing?
Thank you again
screenshot3.jpgMay 11, 2014 at 10:29 pm #19871
Long and technical story short, this is just how it functions with all the various elements that play together with different and fluid screen sizes; how much and what type of content you have in your page is also a key factor. This will also display depending on what kind of code modifications you make (or made yourself to the theme files and CSS)….and it looks like you made several. In fact, I had to look at the style.css to see what theme you were using of mine because on the front-end side, there isn't much left of it showing.May 11, 2014 at 11:09 pm #19872
That's fine, I understand.
On a different note, and I am aware you are not the developer but…. would you have an idea as to why the zip file that layerslider generates when exporting refuses to load when trying to import it and also refuses to open in winrar or winzip? The demo sliders can be opened no problem and I can get at the json file, while the slider I spent hours making now is not usable because it does not import .May 12, 2014 at 12:49 am #19873
Not too long ago the developers of the LayerSlider plugin made some significant changes. (For everyone in general who may read this topic) The location where a custom skin for the slider goes is one, and the other is that the export/import is now done in a .json file format is the second big change.
As for your question…this is one you will want to contact them about if your importing of the exported .json file is not importing. Also, if the zip file it generated when exporting is not able to open in winrar (which I use and prefer) or winzip, it could be a corrupt zip file….might want to inform them of this as well. I just downloaded an export to my desktop from one of my demo sites and using winrar, I did get the file unzipped. Again, it could be a corrupt export file; perhaps try once again.May 12, 2014 at 12:51 am #19874
It actually was an issue with the zip file. Winrar repaired the file and I was able to upload the slider successfully.
Thank you for your helpMay 12, 2014 at 1:10 am #15129
awesome…cheers…and one of many reasons I like winrar.

Legendary is Gamecock Media Group, Atari Europe's First Person Shooter game with a release date in 2008.
Legendary includes the following styles of gameplay.
- In a first person style game the main viewpoint is from the player looking forward. This can be either a first person shooter or a first person driving game.
- In a shooter the player must have a very fast reaction time. Usually there is a weapon held out in front of the player that is used to target other players or enemies. They can be either single player or multiplayer. The single player versions usually have a short storyline with minor RPG elements. Call of Duty and Battlefield are some very popular examples.
Forward Ports for Legendary
When you are playing Legendary you might need to forward some ports in your router. Forwarding ports is a useful trick in gaming because it can really help to make your network connection most stable and frequently even faster. Routers were not designed to allow incoming network requests and some games can play tremendously better if an incoming connection is forwarded through the router to the game.
Before You Forward a Port
Before you can forward a port you need to know the following things:
- Your router's IP address.
- Your gaming machine's IP address.
- A list of TCP and UDP ports that need to be forwarded.
How to navigate to your router's IP Address
The easiest way to navigate to your router's IP address is to run our free Router Detector utility. It's a part of the Network Utilities suite of tools and it's completely free to use.
How To Forward Ports
A smart way to forward your ports is to use Network Utilities. Since Network Utilities allows you to both forward and un-forward ports easily you can keep your network security maximized, and then forward ports only when you need them. Alternatively you can do it by hand.
The process for forwarding a port is generally:
- Open a web browser and navigate to your router's IP address.
- Find your routers port forwarding section.
- Put the IP address of your computer or gaming console in the applicable box in your router.
- Put the TCP and UDP ports for your game in the corresponding boxes in your router.
- Intermittently you have to reboot your router for the changes to take effect.
Ports Required for Legendary
The incoming connection ports that need to be forwarded for Legendary are as follows:
Legendary - Xbox 360
Legendary - Playstation 3
Legendary - PC
- We do not know the PC ports for Legendary yet. If you know them please send us a message using our Message System.
We have guides that are custom tailored for Legendary that will show you the required incoming ports.
When you are done following those steps your ports will be open. Do you need more games or programs forwarded? Check out our games and programs list.

There are many different components of roofing that can seem confusing to the everyday homeowner. Northface Construction is here to break it down for you. Whether you're working on some roof repairs by yourself, or you're hiring a roofing company and you want to understand just what the heck they're saying, here's your guide to the roof structure and framing basics.
Getting to Know Your Roof
Your roof's main function is to protect the home from the elements like wind, rain, hail, snow, and ice, which is why you need a highly functional roof that keeps you safe from adverse weather. The way in which your roof is installed will ultimately determine how well water and other damaging elements are kept at bay. Now that you understand the essential function of a roof, let's talk about the different components that make it up.
Basic Roof Components
Here are some of the basic components of your roof:
The underlayment of your roof is composed of a black paper-like material that's placed over the plywood sheeting. This component seals the roof, protecting it from damaging elements like water or snow. A waterproof membrane, a sweat sheet or vapor barrier is required, with the underlayment paper serving these three functions.
The purpose of roof flashing is to divert water from places where it might collect, such as hips and valleys, and is made up of small metal pieces. Flashing comes in a large number of different materials, such as galvanized flashing, alloy, regular and lead coated copper, and stainless steel. Any of these are good options to protect your home from water damage.
Shingles and Tile
Comprising the outermost part of the roof, the shingles or tiles are what sits on top of the underlayment and form a barrier against harmful elements. When it comes to residential roofing, the same types of shingles and tiles have been in use for hundreds of years. In fact, you can find intact tiles from civilizations thousands of years old. Despite their long history in protecting homes, however, shingles and tiles are only two types of material among many that you can use to cover the roof. Others include concrete, ceramic, wood, and metal.
While often overlooked, the trim actually provides a few crucial benefits. First of all, trim protects your roof's seams, such as near a hip or a ridge, sealing joints where a transition is made in the slope and direction of your roof. Secondly, it provides aesthetic quality that gives your home a finished look, helping boost your curb appeal.
The Seven Primary Design Aspects of Your Roof
- Ridge — The ridge is the highest point or peak of your roof
- Hip — The hip is the high point of your roof where two adjoining sections meet
- Dormer — Dormers are sections of the home that extrude from the roof. In general, they are added to bring light into an attic or the upper level of your home
- Gables — Gables are triangular portions of the ends of the home, which extend from the eaves to the peak of the roof
- Pitch — The pitch of your roof refers to the slope of the roof
- Eaves — Eaves are the component of the roof that extends past the rest of the home
- Valley — The valley is the point where two sections of the roof slope downward and join together
You Now Know the Basics of Roof Structure and Framing
Now that you have this guide to the basics of roof structure and framing, you're in a good position to tackle basic problems yourself, or consult with a professional roofer and have a meaningful conversation about your project.
Roofing Basics for Contractors
When it comes to the basics for roofing contractors, everyone might do everything a little differently, but we like to share how we do things at Northface Construction. Everything from setting up to our final clean-up requires some steadfast work and just the right technique to get it done right.
How to Open a Bundle of Shingles
Before we start the job, we obviously need to set up our materials, tools, ladders, and safety equipment. With fast turnaround times every second counts, so we try to do everything, even the smallest tasks, in the most efficient way possible. That starts with opening up the bundles of shingles. When you're up on the roof you don't want to be fumbling around with plastic and packaging of the shingles. You want to get it open quickly, without damaging the shingles.
The Right and Wrong Way to Nail a Shingle
When you get a new roof installed, your main concerns are that it's done right the first time, and it is built to last. Believe it or not, there is definitely a right way and a wrong to nail a shingle. Nailing shingles the wrong way can void warranties, cause early repairs, and limit the integrity of your shingles.
Nailing shingles the right way requires patience and accuracy. Lay the nail gun flat against the shingle nail strip and using normal pressure, insert the nail so it lays flat, and goes through both nail strips (in the case of GAF shingles in our video). Using too light of pressure or too hard, or moving too quickly, can overdrive or underdrive nails. Impatient use of the nail gun to "save time" can actually cause nails to go in crooked, too tight, or even miss the nail strip altogether. Nailing shingles the right way can save time and money in the long run because it was done right the first time and you won't be back to fix your mistakes.
De-Nailing the Lawn
Proper clean up is a very important part of the entire roofing process. The last thing we ever want is to leave behind a mess, and especially nails or other materials behind in your yard. We use a special rolling magnet that looks like an old-school lawnmower, but it is incredibly strong and can pick up any nails hiding in your grass. When we have time we really try to use the rolling magnet while we are doing the job, just get the majority of nails picked up as we go.
We will of course do a final check at the end of our project, both on the roof and around the edges of your home and lawn to pick up any and all nails that may have fallen. One way homeowners can help us out is by mowing their grass and bagging it before we begin. The shorter the grass the more nails are visible and easily picked up with the magnet.
If you're in the market for a new roof, remember that Northface Construction is the premier contractor in Minnesota, offering full-service roof repair, replacement, and installation. We're committed to providing each and every one of our clients with exceptional roof services that add function and beauty to your home. If you're ready to get started improving your home, call us today to speak with one of our dedicated construction specialists – they're standing by ready to answer your questions.

Yes sedan sales have been taking a hit lately, but unlike its Detroit rivals, Nissan is keen to keep the sedan alive. Nissan recently performed a study of American car where it discovered that many car buyers still consider a sedan when they are shopping for a new vehicle. "78% of American drivers who don't own a sedan would consider buying one now or in the future." So with stats like that, it makes sense that Nissan is still committed to building its sedan lineup, especially the full size Maxima.
The full size sedan segment has taken the biggest hit in the sedan segment, with many models recently getting the axe, like the Ford Taurus, Chevy Impala and Buick LaCrosse. Today if buyers want a near-luxury large sedan, there are very few choices with the Nissan Maxima and Toyota Avalon being the clearer options. Even if the Maxima's competition has died off, the Maxima is alive and well. For the 2019 model year, the Maxima has received a mid-cycle refresh that aims to keep it fresh.
On the outside the 2019 Maxima gets new LED headlights and taillights, a restyled grille and an updated lower rear fascia with quad exhaust finishers. Inside the updates are smaller with higher quality materials, available Rakuda Tan semi-aniline leather seats and an upgraded navigation system. Nissan didn't really need to do much to the 2019 Maxima's interior, since it's spacious and comfortable. The quilted seat pattern on the Rakuda tan seats gives it a more luxurious feel. The rear seat may be a bit more snug than we expected, but we still managed to fit three tall friends in the back without too much complaining.
On the tech front, the Maxima does come standard with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Amazon Alexa connectivity, but Nissan's ProPilot assist system isn't an option.
The 2019 Maxima is powered by the same 3.5L V6, which generates 300 horsepower and 261 lb-ft. of torque, that's mated to a CVT. The V6 packs plenty of pep and the sound is great, but it's let down by the eco-minded CVT transmission. With a 0-60 mph time around six seconds, the Maxima is definitely not slow, but the feel of the CVT keeps it from earning that coveted "four door sports car" label.
The 2019 Maxima is rated at 20 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway.
Around town the Maxima's steering feels a bit heavy at parking lot speeds, but at higher speeds it does provide adequate feedback. Push it hard and you will notice a bit of torque steer, which makes us wish that the Maxima was available with the Altima's new all-wheel drive system. The Maxima's suspension does a good job of limiting the amount of body roll, but the ride is a bit firm.
The 2019 Nissan Maxima is offered in several trim levels: S, SV, SL, SR, Platinum and Platinum Reserve, with the pricing starting at $34,945.
Even if the sedan segment is largely being overshadowed by crossovers and SUVs, we have to give credit to Nissan for continuing to offer a sportier sedan, like the Maxima. The 2019 Maxima gives buyers another choice if they don't want to drive in a me-too crossover, but want something a bit sportier and interesting to look at than a typical midsize sedan.

Wonderful for pain in back or neck. Portable unit can be easily taken with you and used anywhere. Has a 15 minute timer, so it does need to be turned back on if you want to use it longer. Very helpful for strained muscles.
I can't believe this is working! I moved into a this house about 6 months ago. I was lucky to get it as my credit has been ruined so when I walked in to start moving things in and saw a roach I figured I'd just wait a bit to move in and let the landlord send an exterminator. When the guy came he was in and out pretty quick. I went ahead and moved in. 3 weeks went by and Id see one here and there. I called to ask for another spray because I heard that's what you do for the new hatchlings or whatever. Well he came out and had me do no prep and was in and out in a flash. Once again I kept seeing them here and there every few weeks. Then recently I started seeing one scurry every other day. I explained to the landlord that I thought the exterminator was worthless and he agreed to send a different one out. I took to google and found this amazing product. Once I got it I started in on a deep clean. I have 4 children 5 and under and it's pretty amazing where all the crumbs end up to feed the roaches lol. Once the main spots were cleaned I went into the heavy duty stuff. I removed the oven and that's where I found large cracks, holes, roach droppings, and some babies scurrying away. I swept it up bleached it down, did the same with the fridge where I also found droppings. I thought I had a minor issue but just hours after placing combat behind the fridge, oven, cabinets, and bathroom the purge has officially commenced. These suckers are already sprawled out dying in my hallway and kitchen. I am so happy! My landlord said he showed the product to the new exterminator he'll be using and he informed him this is exactly what I should be doing. This works people!
I'm tempted to give this 5 stars, just because I like the concept so much. But there are enough flaws in it that I can really only justify 4. Plenty of other reviews here give a complete rundown of what's involved in the program, and how it compares with the previous version (which I did not own), so I'll skip right to what I think is good about it and what needs improvement. Just so you know, I've used it for 4 months now, 3 times per week continuously, so I'm in good position to judge its merits.
As the prior reviewer indicated in his good review, this machine is great! I was going to purchase the E35 but decided at the last moment to go with the larger and slightly more advanced E55. I have had it since January 15th or so and have not been disappointed. Our whole family uses it from the 50 year old (ol' man) to my 9 year old daughter. A very heavy duty unit that can take my 6'5" 275 Lb frame and not go limp! Simply an excellent machine that provides and incredible work-out. I checked on many other manufacturers and the Sole was the only one to come close (if not better than) those in the gyms I used to go to!
Great book, helped me prepare for a presentation on social security strategies. If you're in the business, you need this book.

We're excited to head to San Diego to present at the largest geolocation event of its kind in the world, the Esri User Conference. The conference runs from July 8-12 at the San Diego Convention Center.
As a new ESRI partner, we've integrated Factal's lightning-fast, precisely-geolocated data with ArcGIS. If the early reaction from ESRI's team is any indication, we think you're going to be surprised to see how pinpoint verification dramatically reduces noise, eliminates guesswork and brings mapping to life.
We'll be presenting in the Startup Zone, both at our booth (Z7) and on stage on Tuesday at 11:15 a.m. Please stop by, say hello and we'll show you a demo. If you'd like to schedule a meeting in advance, please contact Ryan Ockuly by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
