ASHEBORO — A little sign on a shelf in Meridith and Tracy Moon's home announces: "All my children have paws."
ASHEBORO — A little sign on a shelf in Meridith and Tracy Moon's home announces: "All my children have paws."
The Moons say they will not give up any of their children.
They have put their house in north Asheboro up for sale and intend to move as soon as possible.
That's because the couple will soon run afoul of the city's animal control ordinance, which stipulates that, based on the size of their property, they can only have two dogs.
Until a few weeks ago, they did have just two dogs — a pair of English bull terriers named Drake and Cora.
Then they added a Chinese shar-pei puppy to the family.
They did not know that buying that wrinkly-faced, chocolate-colored puppy — they call her Truffles — set the clock ticking toward a time when they will be in violation of the city animal control ordinance. (The ordinance does not apply to dogs younger than 6 months old.)
It's likely they still would not know, but someone reported them.
What happened next
Meridith Moon cried when she received a letter from the city about her dogs. She says she and her husband are not rule-breakers. But they did not know about this rule.
They think it is arbitrary and unfair and they plan to try to convince city leaders to change it. She has been circulating petitions seeking support and plans to address Asheboro City Council members at their May 8 meeting.
"These dogs aren't on a runner," she said. "They aren't tied to a tree. We walk our dogs every night. They're in a warm home every night. My puppy sleeps with me."
Drake and Cora sleep in crates by night. By day, they play in a large fenced backyard.
"I respect a leash law," Moon continued. "What I don't respect is feeling like I'm being violated and being told how many animals I can or cannot have. I would ask that the city be open-minded and hear me out and be willing to even revise or repeal the current ordinance. Have it revised to what it was in 2011.
"What was wrong with that ordinance? Unless people are not taking care of their animals, I just don't see what the huge issue is here."
Revised in 2012
In 2012, the City of Asheboro revised its animal control ordinance, which was written in 1958. The revision was made in preparation for the county to assume responsibility for animal control in the city limits.
The ordinance in effect until April 1, 2012, allowed residents to keep up to five dogs. There was no limit on the number of cats.
The revised ordinance limits to two the number of dogs allowed on lots of 30,000 square feet or less, which is about seven-tenths of an acre. Residents who have larger lots can have up to five dogs, but an additional 7,000 square feet of space is required for each additional dog. The same rules apply for cats.
Pets owned prior to the rule changes are grandfathered.
The ordinance reads, in part: "… any dog lawfully kept or maintained as part of a household prior to April 1, 2012, may continue to be kept or maintained as part of the same household for the remainder of the dog's life."
The same exception applies in the case of cats.
Researching the situation
Tracy Moon said he's done a fair amount of online research and called a few municipalities to find out about their animal control ordinances.
"I had no idea these laws even existed," he said.
He also questions enforcement.
"There's no way to enforce it unless you have a rogue neighbor that wants to take you on," he said.
In his limited research, Moon said, he only found two North Carolina municipalities — Rural Hall and Garner — that set a limit as low as two on dogs.
In Garner, according to the town's web page, residents who live on lots of 20,000 square feet or less may only have two dogs, with this exception: "Those with more than the limit may do so only if their dogs have passed 'Good Canine Citizen' training and certification."
Most towns and cities permit three or more, he said, and some offer options for residents to keep more.
"We're not getting rid of our dogs," he said. "If they don't change it, give us an option to get a permit. If we had to pay a yearly fee, we're fully capable of doing that. Just give us some other option besides selling our house and leaving Asheboro."
An urban answer
Ed Brown, the city's code enforcement officer, said he has a second case in which a city resident is in violation of the number limit on dogs.
"The other owner is in the process of coming into compliance," Brown said. "He has four dogs. Three of them precede the ordinance."
He also said it is not unusual for a resident to be unaware of a particular ordinance.
"There's a lot of people that don't know they have to keep the grass cut or that they can't keep junk trash in their yard."
He noted that all city ordinances are not going to suit everyone: What one resident deems "offensive," he explained, may not be perceived as the least bit offensive by another resident.
But the 2012 ordinance provides definitive answers to questions that were not clearly addressed — or not addressed at all — in the previous rules, he said.
The revision reflects the fact that city dwellers generally live closer together than their rural counterparts. Generally speaking, he said, the more animals there are, the greater the likelihood of problems.
Brown added that he understands that one pet owner might have five well-maintained dogs that are not a nuisance to their neighbors — the neighbors might not even know the pets exist — while another resident might have a single barking dog tied outside that presents an ongoing nuisance.
What comes next
Moon said she recently spent $100 to have Drake sedated to have his nails trimmed. She said her father thinks she's lost her mind for spending money on such a thing.
She understands that some people may view the way she and her husband relate to their animals as "stupid and sappy."
But she is resolute in her stance.
"We have no children," she said. "These are our children."
She hopes city council members will revisit the animal control ordinance and make revisions so that she and Tracy — and other responsible pet owners in similar situations — can keep more than two dogs or cats.
"If they're going to say, 'No, ma'am, this is the way it's going to be — you're going to have to downsize your pets or move out in the county,' they're going to lose a taxpayer.
"We're willing to make that big of a sacrifice and change our life. We're not going to lie about it. We're just going to cut our losses and be honest."

AAOS Hosts MACRA Briefing on Capitol Hill
On Tuesday, May 31, the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) hosted a briefing on Capitol Hill to educate congressional staffers and health care leaders about the importance of MACRA implementation and the issues currently raised by the proposed rule. Council on Advocacy Chair Thomas C. Barber, MD, presented on behalf of AAOS and stressed key areas of concern, including risk adjustment, small practice issues, infrastructure needs, measure development, and more. He also discussed the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR) model as it related to alternative payment models (APMs) under MACRA.
View Dr. Barber's entire presentation online here.
Signed into law last year, MACRA reforms how doctors are reimbursed for treating Medicare patients and creates new two tracks for payment. First, it replaces the existing Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS), Value-Based Modifier, and "Meaningful Use" of Electronic Health Records (EHR) programs with a new, single Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) program that expands the pay-for-performance incentives in the fee-for-service system. The second track, Alternative Payment Models (APMs), provides bonus payments for physicians who participate in Advanced APMs that hold providers financially accountable for health care costs.
AAOS President Gerald R. Williams, Jr., MD recently commented on the importance of the proposed rule, stating that physician involvement in the development and implementation of MACRA "is critical."
"While CMS has recognized some of our concerns, including adding flexibility to quality reporting and responding to specialty-specific needs, there are a number of issues that still need to be addressed," Williams stated. "The importance of this proposed rule cannot be overstated. As specialty physicians, orthopaedic surgeons face unique challenges and require specialty-specific tools, measures, and other considerations in order to successfully participate in quality performance programs and APMs. We look forward to working closely with CMS to refine MACRA provisions and ensure physician payment reform ultimately improves the care of musculoskeletal patients."
AAOS has developed a summary of the proposed rule and will be coordinating formal written comments with state and specialty societies. The deadline for comments is 5 p.m. on June 27, 2016. Find all of our MACRA news and resources at www.aaos.org/macra, read the proposed rule online here, and email us with any questions or concerns at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Who is Kinesiology for?
Kinesiology is non-invasive and is suitable for all genders and ages. I work with babies, children, teenagers, adults, pregnant women and people who are physically unwell or suffering from stress or anxiety.
To find out more about working with children go to the Children page.
What happens in a session?
A session will start with a consultation to identify your needs. Sometimes people don't have a specific reason for seeking help and in these cases I simply muscle check the client to determine the best way to proceed. Once I have determined what we are working on, you will lie on the massage table where I will begin accessing information from the body and nervous system. As we work through the priority correction and identify imbalances I will explain what is happening as we move towards correcting imbalances with the end goal of restoring your mind and body to optimum health, wellbeing and happiness. No two sessions will be the same as each is tailored to your current situation. In each session we will be working towards correcting the imbalances within the different systems of your body.
How will I feel at the end of the session?
Most people report feeling very calm and relaxed after a session, however change occurs differently for each person so it is hard to predict how the change will be experienced and when it will be evident.
Sometimes you can feel the change immediately, like a weight is being lifted from your shoulders. You feel clearer and have a much better understanding of the issue that was worked on.
Sometimes the change can occur more gradually over hours, days or even weeks. At the end of these types of sessions you might feel unsure of your feelings. This is all normal and does not mean the session has been any less successful than others,it just means that the body and mind are making the changes at the pace they need to safely incorporate the change.
Sometimes as session can temporarily heighten feelings such as anxiety, sadness, stress etc. This is also totally normal and safe as the body and mind knows what is best for you to complete the process. Sometimes to clear a limiting belief or suppressed emotion you need it to rise up, feel it and then release it.
How many sessions will I need to have?
Most people will have one to four sessions to work on a particular issue, however some people only need one and then others choose to come on a regular or long term basis to continue to work through multiple issues.
What is Muscle checking?
Muscle checking is a non-invasive method of getting information from a neurological response enabling the identification of imbalances and assessing what is needed to work with them.
How does Muscle checking work?
Muscle checking is used to access information form the body through a bio-feedback loop. Information is sent back and forth from the muscle, through the motor command nerve, and from the brain, through the sensory nerve.
Depending on your issue at the time and what we ask your body to communicate, we can effectively identify imbalances in organs, meridians, chakras, body structures and nutrition. The practitioner can then identify solutions to clear the energetic blockages and imbalances or stress. It can also be used to test the body's responses to herbs, vitamins, minerals, medications and other remedies.

Cyber Essentials
Cyber Essentials is a government backed scheme that helps organisations protect themselves against the most common cyber threats and demonstrate their commitment to cyber security. It provides a clear statement of the basic controls all organisations should implement within their IT systems to reduce the risk from common internet based threats. The Cyber Essentials certification is awarded based on a verified self-assessment.
Cyber Essentials focuses on five key security controls:
- Boundary firewalls and internet gateways – devices in place designed to prevent unauthorised access to or from private networks
- Secure configuration – systems configured in the most secure way for the needs of the business
- Access control – only authorised persons can access systems and at the appropriate level
- Malware protection – virus and malware protection is installed and up-to-date
- Patch management – latest supported version of applications are used and all the necessary patches are applied.
When these controls are implemented correctly, they could prevent around 80% of cyber attacks, according to the UK government.
Cyber Essentials certification is required for companies who want to bid for government contracts which involve handling sensitive and personal information or the provision of certain technical products and services.
Hayward Miller achieved Cyber Essentials certification in August 2017. With the upcoming EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Cyber Essentials is a great way of showing that data protection is taken seriously. It demonstrates that we are addressing cyber security effectively and have implemented the necessary controls.
Market Sectors
Cyber Essentials is suitable for companies of all sizes in any sector.

Laboratory Safety
Offices of Facilities Management
Laboratory Safety
Laboratory operations can be dangerous whether you are working with hazardous materials or equipment or just performing common laboratory procedures. Everyday there are incidents that occur in teaching and research laboratories on campuses across the country. Although many accidents are minor, there are also serious cases, including fatalities. Periodically, CCNy has multiple incidents in our laboratories. Our goal is to reduce that number and reduce accidental injuries.
In collaboration with CUNY, EHOS provides a Laboratory Safety Manual. EHOS has also prepared manuals specifically for CCNY. Our manuals promote safe and practical laboratory procedures, including information on the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and emergency procedures and incident response. It is important to recognize that this manual does not cover all the risks and hazards in every laboratory. You may also review our Lab Self Inspection Checklist. There are a wide variety of hazardous materials handled in laboratories at CCNY. As a final note, EHOS would like to remind you that CUNY expects each Principal Investigator (PI) to fully append any supplementary safety information to this manual pertinent to their specific laboratory.

Data as Commerce
I admit, it was weird when my monthly MasterCard bill first arrived with a total charge of 99 cents for a single music download. I wasn't raised to use credit for such a small purchase. Am I allowed to have such a tiny transaction? Don't they discourage that kind of spending and can MasterCard afford to do that?
Of course they can. It's Chris Anderson's book, The Long Tail that describes how you make a lot more money selling lots of small things rather than a few big ones. My MP3 download was just anther tiny but accepted data transaction that, in the business-to-business and business-to-consumer worlds, you can expect a lot more of. You may not see this behind the apps on your iPhone, but it is already happening.
In this month's magazine I contributed a full-length feature on Web data services. Not Web services or data services, but Web data services. This is a tricky definitional area for me and a lot of others (and I couldn't come up with a better term). But what I'm referring to are Web-based providers that directly or indirectly distribute or support desired feeds of data.
It's a long article and was a lot of work. I might have bitten off too much, but what it boils down to is this: the rise of granular data services and the spread of open application programming interfaces (APIs) has set the stage for a transaction-based data economy.
Yes, the data transaction model already exists, just ask "Free" creditreport.com. Anyone can buy or sell data on the Web. But what triggered this line of thought was partly the rise of mobile apps that combine many data feeds into one presentation, and mostly the dramatic increase of API traffic I keep hearing about from people I talk to. The point is, the emphasis has already shifted from Web site or portal presentations of masses of data to discrete API feeds of granular data to mix and match for a mobile app or mashup.
Most of all, the API is a gateway to collect or spend money (along with its other control and management functions), a kind of point-of-sale data cash register for the Web. That's what I mean by a transaction-based Web data service economy.
Maybe you charge 1/1000th of a penny for a bit of information, maybe a nickel. It's a transaction like any other that depends on the perceived value of the information and the market is already sorting it out.
So, you're not going to need a subscription to freecreditreport.com in the future. You'll likely be more interested in what American Express is saying about your account at the moment than your whole credit history. You'll be able to pay for just that bit of information once only and mix it up with other services for your bank balance and investment plans. You won't even have to figure out how to make it useful for yourself because service providers are going to figure it out for you.
All kinds of new cloud-based and other SaaS providers are jumping on this idea to offer bits of data, analytics, or storage on a use-as-you-need basis that may cost a tiny amount of money. But so are a lot of mainstream businesses and there are several examples in the article. You'll find plenty more examples elsewhere if you look for them. Even Chris Anderson's book is quicker and easier to buy as a data feed than as a hard product if you want it right now.
The long tail of data is upon us.

Volunteer Tutors are recruited and attend training days
Tutors prepare and conduct 1-on-1 interactive tutoring with each child every day for a week
Attitudinal and academic improvements are measured at the end of the program
Supporting children experiencing educational disadvantageIn Australia, three out of five children from rural and remote areas will not graduate high school. No matter where they live, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island children or those from low socioeconomic households also have similarly low graduation rates.
Teach Learn Grow is a non-profit organisation dedicated to supporting Australian children experiencing disadvantage and working towards an Australia where every child is empowered to reach their full potential.
The Two Streams
SproutsThe primary focus of Sprouts is one-on-one mathematics tutoring. Before the program outcomes are selected by teachers for each individual student. Our outcomes cover Foundation to Year Seven in both the Number and Algebra, and Measurement and Geometry mathematics strands. Students are assessed through outcome testing using worksheets developed by our Education team at the beginning and end of week to determine a student's level of ability and improvement.
SaplingsThe Saplings Stream is typically run at schools with lower attendance rates. The main focus is on increasing school engagement through one-on-one tutoring to encourage and promote student enthusiasm about learning. Similarly to Sprouts, outcomes are selected for each individual student. Our Tutors will then use a range of interactive activities to engage their student in the learning areas of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics), Drama and Reading.
3 Years
Students from the lowest socioeconomic households are on average three years behind those from the highest.
Program OverviewTeach Learn Grow's Rural Program provides free one-on-one tutoring and mentoring to primary students experencing educational disadvantage. Over one intensive week students participate in mathematics tutoring while our passionate Perth-based volunteers encourage and promote enthusiasm about learning.
Students participate in either the Sprouts, which focuses on the mathematics tutoring, or Saplings, which focuses on school engagement, depending on the school's focus. Tutors will either take your students out of the classroom or come into the classroom for approximately two hours each day. In each session, highly interactive and engaging activites and games are used to work on an Australian Curriculum aligned outcome selected by their teacher.
Our volunteer tutors stay overnight at the school, often in a spare classroom or the library. After school tutors will develop lesson plans tailored to their student and engage in the broader communities we visit.
The Rural Program runs twice a year, normally in the second last or final week of Term 2 and similarly at the end of Term 4. Each program Teach Learn Grow's volunteer executive team recruits, trains and prepares a group of well-educated volunteers to become tutors.
Our Impact:
of students improved their attitudes towards school
of teachers observed an increase in student engagement
of teachers observe increased interest in tertiary studies
Our Volunteer Tutors
Tutors volunteer one full week to provide in person, one-on-one support to rural and remote students.
RecruitmentTutors are selected through a two stage process:
Stage One is an online assessment where you can show your passion and let us know why you want to participate in the Rural Program.
Stage Two is an in person interview, this is your chance to let us know more about your motivations, tutoring ability and ability to work in a team.
TrainingAll tutors are trained on tutoring and engagement strategies to build a constructive relationship with their students while on the program. Tutors also receive cultural and ability awareness training. Through-out the program tutors are supported by our volunteer Executive Team, the Rural Program Coordinators and their fellow tutors.
PreparationWe provide comprehensive booklets and educational resources for all aspects of the program. Tutors are however also encouraged to source further materials when tailoring sessions for their student. Tutors are provided with materials to run activities planned by TLG but need to bring their own tutoring resources.
The Students
Teach Learn Grow works with schools based a number of factors such as ICSEA (Index of Community Socio-Educational Advantage) score, level of remoteness and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander student percentage. The Rural Program is also run in partnership with our eMentor Program to maximise and best sustain our impact.
Primarily primary school students, Years 1 - 6/7, are selected for the Rural Program by school and teaching staff. If we are unable to tutor all students at the school, the program targets students who are working at a lower academic level than their peers. They are then paired with a university tutor using recommondations from teachers.
The students interact with their tutor twice a day for one week at times selected by the school. In addition to the mathematics outcome selected by their school our tutors aim to inspire students through their personal education journey to attend high school and further education.
What do our volunteers get out of it?

Business Administration and International Business Schools in Minnesota
Business administration and international business schools in Minnesota confer bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees. International business students learn how to conduct business on a global scale. The world has become more of a global economy as information and supply barriers have been removed through technology. International business students have the opportunity to travel abroad and learn how other countries conduct business within their culture. Typical major courses include financial markets and derivatives, logistics, international finance, international marketing, international operations and foreign language. They also learn about intercultural communication and practices. Students in this major should be prepared to travel extensively upon graduation.

The US trade deficit narrowed in August, reflecting an increase in exports and a downtick in imports as Hurricane Harvey disrupted shipping along the Gulf Coast.
The foreign-trade gap in goods and services narrowed -2.7% from the prior month to a seasonally adjusted -$42.395B in August. The market had expected a trade deficit of -$42.7B.
Imports decreased -0.1% in August, and exports increased +0.4% from July.
August exports of goods and services reached the highest level since December 2014, and exports of services were the highest on record, not adjusted for inflation.
Weekly Claims Fall
The number of Americans filing applications for new unemployment benefits fell in late September, though recent hurricanes continued to disrupt economic activity in several regions.
Initial jobless claims, a proxy for layoffs across the US, has declined by -12k to a seasonally adjusted +260k in the week ended Sept. 30.
The market had expected +270k new claims last week. Claims did surge in recent weeks due to job losses from Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria.

Are moths as old as dinos?
The larvae of moths have eight pairs of legs. The moth family Geometridae is specific in that their larvae have five pairs of legs and move by looping: "looper moths". One of geometrid subfamilies, Geometrinae, has green wings. This subfamily is divided into twelve groups of genera, tribes. The delimitation of one of these, the Nemoriini tribe, and changes traced back in their morphology across the genera are discussed below. Moths from the IZBE insect collection, housed at the Estonian University of Life Sciences, are used.
When constructing a key or searching for taxonomic relationships, one must look for characters. There are hundreds of differentiating traits between different taxa (species, genera). Authors use the easiest observable characters (of the wings and body) when constructing identification keys. Here, characters of the male genital capsule (its dorsal processes, the uncus and paired socii, and lateral parts, the valvae) are used. Shared characters are then traced back along the key to understand the evolutionary history of the keyed taxa.
The coexistence or association of some character states is used to delimit the Nemoriini tribe within the Geometrinae subfamily: the bright green pigment on wings, the broader tip or rod shape of the uncus in the male genitalia, the longitudinal and distal sclerotization of the last sternite of the male abdomen (characters 1, 2, 3 in Fig. 1), and the body shape of caterpillars with flat dilations (chalazae) of abdominal segments.
The bright green color is widely distributed over the Geometrinae tribes and is diagnosed as such by authors for Comibaenini, Lophochoristini, Nemoriini, Dichordophorini, and Synchlorini. These moths occur in the southern hemisphere. In contrast, the green pigment may be olive, dark, or greyish green as in moths of the Hemitheini tribe which inhabit the northern hemisphere.
The male genital capsule of a moth has a dorsal process, the uncus, to fix the position of a female during the pairing. The geometrine uncus is often hooked, strong, and accompanied by rigid or semi-membraneous lobes (socii). Alternatively, the uncus is reduced and accompanied by strongly sclerotized, rigid socii as in the tribe Lophochoristini. The genera of Comibaenini and Dichordophorini have both an uncus and socii modified as pairs of short strong hooks. A rod-shaped uncus, broader at the tip and supported by semi-membranous socii, is a trait of the Nemoriini tribe.
The male moths of the genera of Nemoriini have a unique feature: the last (eighth) sclerite of the male's belly has a sclerotization along its middle, a midrib reaching the bilobed anal edge of the piece.
A typical geometrine larva has a two-tipped, flat head and a cylindrical body; their usual resting posture is stick-like. Larvae of some tribes, such as Geometrini and Synchlorini, have fleshy, conical processes or projections on their bodies, while in Nemoriini and Comibaenini such processes are flat. Larvae of Comibaenini and Synchloriini use detritus and leaf fragments to attach to chalazae but not the nemoriine larvae.
Summarily, the rod-shaped and broader-tipped uncus of the male genitalia, the specific shape of the eighth sternite of the male abdomen, and larvae with unclothed chalazae characterize the Nemoriini tribe.
There are two or three subordinated trends in the first lineage. The spatulate type of the uncus is associated with multicolor wing markings of moths both in the Old World tropics and in the New World. A simpler rod-shaped uncus, which is often slightly bulbed to its tip, is found in genera having their wing markings reduced to white lines on a plain green ground color.
The geographical pattern of the Nemoriini tribe indicates that its ancestors possibly existed on the ancient supercontinent named Gondwana before its breakup. The adult moths have differentiated after the splitting event, but an essential environmental event has caused the extinction of nemoriines from Africa and restructuring the fauna of South America. If the splitting of Gondwana antedates the Cretaceous-Tertiary event and extinction of the dinosaur fauna, then are the moth tribes as old as dinosaurs? Moths have changed but their larvae have remained the same.

Podcast: Abercrombie & Fitch drops controversial "Look Policy", still faces SCOTUS decision
By Steve Fox
Abercrombie & Fitch announced this week it is discontinuing its iconic "Look Policy" The former policy banned French-tip manicures and certain hair-styling products, as well as extreme makeup or jewelry. The Supreme Court of the United States is expected to decide a case in June involving a teenager who applied for a job at a Tulsa, Oklahoma store while wearing a headscarf. The store manager declined to hire the applicant because of the headscarf, not knowing whether the hijab was worn for religious reasons. The EEOC claims that by not asking, the manager violated EEOC guidelines and may have created a loophole for religious discrimination.

For the past three years we have been providing photography for our regional science fair. This involves individual project photos taken during the day of judging (about 280), and taking the award presentation photos during the ceremony the following evening. This is a big fund raiser for the fair, and usually nets around $1400. Usually the fair lasts 3 days, with setup on Sunday afternoon, judging on Monday, and awards ceremony on Tuesday night. During the judging, Dorian and I visit each student to take their project photo. This year I used my small 12x18 softbox on a lightstand. Overall I liked the softer light rather than on-camera flash with the Gary Fong diffuser. Problem is the aisles were very tight and things were crowded. I also had some problem with the white balance and I should have gelled the flash and set to fluorescent. The mixed lighting made the backgrounds look a pukey mustard color. The most complex task is coordinating the image with the student. We printed individual address labels with project numbers, student names, and project names, and as we took a photo, we recorded a sequence number on each label. You cannot take all the students sequentially as some of them are being judged and you have to come back. After we insured ourselves that we got everyone, I did the post processing, color adjustments, and cropping to 5x7. Then I added the text for the event name. These files I uploaded to Costco for processing. Expect to spend a few hours doing this.
When you get your prints back then you have to affix the right label to the back of the photo. If you can get the sequence right, it is a matter of finding the next label in your sequence and placing it on the next photo in the stack. When all is complete your are ready to sell. We set up right in front of the entrance to the awards ceremony. We price the 5x7 print at $10, which nets about $9 to the fair. Most parents are good about their donations, and we manage to get most of the people that come to the ceremony to buy their child's photo. While the sales are going on I am taking photos of all the awards being presented. There are Special awards presented by individual groups and then Place awards (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.). And then group shots of the State and International teams. There are usually around 200 individual shots. I process these and upload to Printroom.com so that parents can purchase these online. We make about $5 from each print or download through Printroom.
My children were very active in the Science Fair, and so was I. I don't think most people realize what a big asset the Science Fair is to our future engineers and scientists. It is the only way they have to be recognized and the only venue they can come together to interact with each other and other adults in the scientific community. While a majority of America spends countless hours at the ballfields, this small group of incredibly bright kids are building their interests and skills in academic pursuit. I think that is an honorable direction, something that we all should encourage and support, especially in light of our current economic situation and our inability to produce anything of value to the world. Engineering, manufacturing, science, medicine? No, we are obsessed with professional sports, Hollywood, and American Idol. Most American cities have a regional science fair. Intel is the biggest sponsor of the International Science and Engineering Fair, the "Olympics" of science fair competition. Most people have never heard of it. If you are interested, try to find your local fair and volunteer some time. You will be inspired by the children and feel hopeful that someone is taking care of our future.

Bree's making a habit of talking about Monica. In fact, she's spoken about the former intruder every day since she left the house on Sunday night. After a few drinks on Wednesday night, she got pretty worked up and ended up warning Ryan not to hook up with Monica when he leaves the house, or else!

Kings of YoungLife
Tonight is a double post. Why? Because on a night when I have an outside event I am providing support for I tend to get home very late. Rather than make some updates that appear to have been written by lab mice, I elected to do dual duty.
First item up is from the YoungLife annual banquet last night. YoungLife is a national group with local clubs that are very active with students. These folks make an incredible impact on the students in 2 Topeka High Schools and Washburn University. Check Here for more information on this great program.
This is Dave and Rob. The theme this year was "Homecoming" and as such we must have a king, and we ended up with 2 unelected and unrecoginzed, but great none the less kings.
The event was a dinner banquet. I really wanted to avoid the flash distraction. This is where the Nikon D7000's awesome sensor really shines. The room was very dimly lit with candelabra style mini-chandelier

zoooooooooooooooooooooom...That's My Day, Flying ByWell, I was a lazy bum and didn't leave the house (other than to knit on the back deck this morning) until after 1 p.m. today. A trip to Hobby Lobby (we buy little zipper-seal bags from them to package buttons when people purchase them at the shop) and then a grocery shopping run to the local Asian market (oh how I love the eccentricities you can purchase there---frozen duck blood, whole stewing chickens that include the feet, beef pizzle...don't ask). Their produce is wonderfully inexpensive, you can get things there to make incredible Asian dishes of all types (I have a large cookbook collection, with the Asian section being the largest---lots of Thai, several Chinese in all sorts of types, a couple Indian, and one multi-ethnic that covers the entire region of the globe). Tonight's dinner is a tasty pork dish that includes ginger, spicy bean paste, black fungus, and more. I can't wait to get home to cook tonight!
But you were promised a blog post...and I want to share progress (and hint at what tomorrow will bring).
We received a big box of Rebecca magazines on Tuesday, including two older issues (101 and 106, which are really #1 and #6), three different children's collections (6, 7, and 8), and the latest Rebecca Home (from last year). I dug through all of the children's books, as I've been looking for quick projects to knit up as shop models to support the GGH yarns, and wow--did I ever find some good ones! So yes, my list of "what to knit" is loading up nicely, and I've even cast on for two of them as of last night (and maybe a third tonight). Here's what's coming over the next couple weeks
I started this cute little number last night
out of Aspen. I've not liked the "hand" of Aspen in the ball, but knitted fabric out of it is sooooooo incredibly soft (it's a 50/50 blend of merino and microfiber that knits up around 2.5 sts/inch). This kid's sweater is a textured pattern, sorta like seed stitch, and going quickly. In about 30 minutes I made over six inches of fabric (pictures tomorrow). I like the peach/teal combo that Matt picked out (he's such a wizard with color--no, I mean seriously talented). It's going to be a little stunner of a sweater!
Also on my list of NOW NOW NOW models is this cutie,
which I also cast on for last night. I made it up to the welt and set the pattern for the cabled panel and then quit. I absolutley adore knitting with Samoa, a cotton/microfiber blend that's about 4 sts/inch, so nice and quick. The great part is that it's machine washable, so good for kid things.
This little cabled number caught my eye a year ago, when the book first came in
The cables intrigue me, but the little one in the sweater is terribly adorable (this entire book is packed with children so cute that you ALMOST want one...almost). Davos Mouline is a beautiful "barber pole" wool that should knit up quickly!
Last on the "new knits in progress" list is this little romper out of Bali
Bali is the lighter-weight cousin of Samoa, a true worsted-weight yarn. I'm not sure what's going on in the picture with that bottle....(shudder)....but the project is cute. The instructions are going to need a little translating, I'm afraid, unless I read them to mean that you do a double-knitting technique (anyone out there made this one?). I'll call my buddy Kirstin at Muench Yarns and find out if I'm reading it right. She's aces when it comes to taking great care of me!
Mason-Dixon Moderne Log Cabin Throw UpdateHere's what I chose as my original color combination
That's GarnStudio Silke-Tweed, a lovely blend of raw silk and lambswool. YUM YUM. But of course, Color Wizard had to step in and recommend slight changes
He swapped out the blue (which he found dull) for a rich purple and changed the brick to a sharp orange (at my suggestion, actually). I like it...it's strong, yet still has the fun shades I wanted. And I'm never going to turn down working with purple. So here they are, side by side
and here's what he wanted to do, but I nixed
I didn't like the lavender (their color name) at all, as it was TOO bright in the mix. So we both gave a little ground and came up with a great colourway that will make a stunning throw for the shop (and eventually my livingroom). As for progress on the throw, I cast on for the first piece and knitted maybe 10 rows (it's garter stitch, so it's slow going for fabric progress). It will be my brainless knitting, for watching DVDs or car knitting or social knitting where I don't want to have to think about increases/decreases and the like.
That's about it for now. Tomorrow will bring a progress shot of the quick-knit pullover I'm making out of Filtes King Kim (a cotton/acrylic blend that's very well priced...so much so that the largest size on the pattern, a 42" finished bust, is only $25.20 to knit. I'm outta here for tonight........be well and be good to yourself and those you love!

What Do You Think Tiger Is Worth?/
On Tuesday Tiger had this to say about his design studies:
As far as my course design, it's something I've always wanted to do and I wanted to make sure that I played around the world before I ever got into course design. I wanted to see what basically every continent has to offer and basically observe and play and experience those different philosophies that all of the different architects have had in each region, and I'm lucky enough to have done that. I just felt it was time for me to try something different, something creative and something that will challenge me in a different way. Certainly something I've really, really been looking forward to.
Now, keeping in mind that the big name players get somewhere in the neighborhood of $2-2.5 million for a "signature" design (and the right to market the living daylights out of their name and er, gulp, "lifestyle"), I'm wondering what you think Tiger's design fee should be? (This is assuming a project that includes some real estate component.)

Golf Magazine Panel 2005 v. 2003/
The 2005 Golf Magazine lists are up at Golfonline. Still working out the kinks. They have a photo of Sand Hills on the homepage with a caption that reads "Torrey Pines, No. 60 on the list."
Since there's very little going on in the golf world, I'm going to take my time dissecting this a bit more.
Posted online is the 2005 panel, the lists, the criteria, etc. The article on panelist Leon Wentz is also posted, but I have been assured that Wentz (who recently finished playing the 2003 Top 100 World) did not see the current list early because he was trying to finish off the 2003 list. The article did not mention which list Wentz was trying to play, I'm told we were supposed to know it was the 2003 list. But this being the 2005 rankings issue, naturally I (and many other readers who emailed) assumed that the article was on Wentz conquering the current list.
Anyhow, it's worth looking at the panel because there is a bizarre mix of non-golf industry architecture aficionados and golf establishment types with conflicts-of-interest ranging from minor to raging (architects, developers, photographers, PR rep, magazine staff, USGA, golf association execs, etc...).
I see several of the people on the list who are not connected to the golf industry. They really make an effort to study and contemplate their votes, discuss the architecture with their peers or the architects themselves, and in general take the list very seriously. Which makes me wonder why they can't just have non-golf industry aficionados. Because let's be honest here, how many courses other than their own or those they played in tournaments did Jack, Arnold, Gary, Annika and Karrie rate last year?
Anyhow, I've underlined the new panelists for 2005.

Obedience and Introduction to Agility Equipment
Obedience and Introduction to Agility Equipment
We will go through Sue Ailsby's Levels of Obedience, introducing your dog to increasingly difficult cues and tricks. Ailsby says, "When you've completed Level One you are starting to see that you can communicate with your dog. A Level Three dog has most of the skills he'll need to make a great pet. More to the point, you'll have the skills you need to teach him any further skills specific to your own household."
Your dog will also be introduced to the equipment used in our Agility courses and gain familiarity with the Agility obstacles.
This class can also prepare your dog to take (and pass!) the Canine Good Citizen Test (which is written by the American Kennel Club, an explanation of which can be found here).
Wednesdays 6:30pm-7:45pm
$160 for 8-week course.

The Purge continues. I decided to share a little of my experience unloading crap from the attic. Similar to the Fashion Haul videos, this is an ATTIC HAUL. Stuff I never thought I'd see again.

Kevin found this and showed it to me today, and I thought I'd share it with all of you. Ed Robertson of Barenaked Ladies set up a video camera in his bathroom (for the acoustics, of course) and videotaped himself doing acoustic versions of virtually every BNL song he ever sang lead vocals to. There are currently 67 songs available, and on a good half dozen of them, Stephen Page sits next to him - in the bathtub - and sings along. Pure music geek fun. For showing me this, Kevin gets the honor of being added to the sidebar.
Here's the link, and here's the two of them doing "If I Had A Million Dollars," my favorite of the ones I've seen so far.

A look back at the impact of the Human Rights Law Centre's LGBTI Rights Unit/
Over the last three years Anna Brown, Lee Carnie and the rest of the HRLC team helped secure many important reforms, won a number of landmark legal cases, and helped to shift community attitudes in partnership with LGBTIQ+ community organisations.
We launched the M106 High Court challenge to stop the harmful and divisive marriage equality postal survey, then campaigned for a strong Yes vote to secure marriage equality for Australia.
We played a pivotal role in ensuring the passage of the legislation to deliver marriage equality, by resourcing MPs across party lines to vote for marriage equality and against hostile amendments aimed at winding back long-standing anti-discrimination protections.
We intervened in the Re Kelvin test case which removed unnecessary court involvement in transgender teenagers accessing life-saving medical treatment.
We worked alongside local trans advocates to ensure birth certificate reforms removing discriminatory barriers to legal recognition passed in South Australia and the Northern Territory – people like Ethan and Rosalina. We campaigned for broader birth certificate laws in Victoria, Western Australia and Queensland - but this work remains unfinished.
We advocated that no person should have to choose between the person they love and being legally recognised for who they are – with every jurisdiction except for Tasmania removing the 'forced divorce' requirement from their birth certificate laws to achieve full marriage equality.
We campaigned until every state and territory in Australia passed laws allowing people to finally erase unjust criminal records imposed for consensual same-sex activity before it was decriminalised, and historic state apologies for the harm caused by these unjust laws of the past.
We created an Expungement Legal Service with long-time advocate and volunteer Jamie Gardiner, to provide free and confidential help to dozens of clients to overturn their unjust historic convictions for consensual same-sex activity.
We helped our client Canon to pursue a discrimination complaint against Centrelink, which led to training for Centrelink staff and the creation of new policies more sensitive to the needs of trans and gender diverse customers.
We acted for compassion and decency from the Australian Government for LGBTI people seeking asylum, and drew attention to the experiences of gay couple Ashkan and Nima during their detention on Nauru.
We passionately advocated for the reform of discriminatory adoption and surrogacy laws in Victoria and South Australia, and adoption equality is now a reality across all of Australia.
We released the ground-breaking Preventing Harm, Promoting Justice report on conversion therapy with La Trobe University, which revealed the harm caused by these outdated and discriminatory practices, and made sure the stories of survivors were heard. Now the Victorian, ACT and Queensland Governments have all committed to take action to stop this harm.
We released a critically important End the Hate report on the urgent need to address and prevent prejudice motivated hate speech and hate crime against LGBTI people.
We were a leading voice in ensuring that attempts to protect religious freedom do not undermine the right to equality for other groups in society, during debates on the Religious Freedom Review.
We advocated that religious schools should not be allowed to expel LGBTQ students because of who they are again, and again, and again, and again.
The impact of the Human Rights Law Centre's LGBTI Rights team has been recognised through numerous awards:
VAC President's Award in 2017;
ACON Community Organisation of the Year Award in 2018;
GLOBE Protecting the Community Award in 2018;
Finalist for the Australian Human Rights Commission Law Award in 2018; and
Lee Carnie was awarded the Thorne Harbour Health Greig Friday Young Leader Award in 2018.
Now these achievements are the starting point for something even bigger. Please sign up at www.equalityaustralia.org.au to be part of the movement for a fair and inclusive Australia.

The Tasmanian Government response to the February 2009 Victorian bushfires has been slow, patchy, self-congratulatory and in some cases misleading. It has been largely guided by the recommendations of the Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission (VBRC) final report, published in July 2010, and the Victorian Government responses to that report.
The state government response is articulated in two documents:
- 'Tasmanian Government Position on Victorian Bushfire Royal Commission', September 2010
- 'Review of Construction and Development Control in Bushfire Prone Areas', Department of Premier and Cabinet, 2 August 2010
Out of the 67 recommendations in the VBRC final report, the Tasmanian Government has not supported two, supported 48 and supported 17 with some modifications.
Although the government has thrown quite a lot of funding at the issue, done the reviews listed above and can point to a lot of other activities under way, little of any importance has actually changed.
Not surprisingly, Tasmania followed the Victorian Government in rejecting the Commission's recommendations (no. 27) regarding replacement of all single-wire power transmission lines with aerial bundle or underground cabling and (no. 46) a retreat and resettlement strategy for existing homes in high-risk areas.
When the government says that 48 recommendations are supported and 17 supported with some modifications, this is not the same as saying it is committed to acting upon the recommendations or that that actions that are under way are adequate.
If you look closely at the state government's responses to each of the supposedly supported VBRC recommendations, there are a lot of references to a draft planning directive and a bushfire management accreditation program (see below), as if these will solve everything; and many other responses make dubious claims that, due to existing measures, 'No further action is required' (see below for an example in relation to biodiversity management).
The former premier, David Bartlett, said in a media release on 28 September 2010 that, 'the key recommendations of the Royal Commission are totally consistent with the measures and strategies already being implemented in Tasmania', then he lists a number of fire safety measures that have received funding. He goes on to say that, 'It's pleasing to see we're already on the right track, and developing the best strategies to keep Tasmanians safe'.
These self-congratulatory statements can at best be described as exaggerations and at worst are misleading and life-threatening.
All that is actually occurring is the following:
- drafting of a planning directive that ensures all planning authorities apply a consistent and (hopefully) effective approach to bushfire mitigation in establishing new homes in bushfir- prone areas
- establishing an industry accreditation program for approving bushfire risk management plans as part of the planning process
- allowing $500,000 in 2010–11 for a strategic broad-acre burning program to manage bushfire risks for public safety, and a similar allocation in the 2011–12 state budget
- promoting previously funded TFS (Tasmanian Fire Service) programs, e.g. community protection plans identifying location of vulnerable people, improved mapping and communications strategies and an emergency alert warning system;
- new human safety measures, e.g. introduction of new fire danger ratings, extending warning systems to individual mobile phones and establishing community fire refuges.
We will come back to the issue of broad-acre burning programs in a future edition of the newsletter and will leave others to judge the effectiveness of new or planned, but as yet untested, human safety measures. The TCT's priority is where fire management for human safety impacts on native vegetation.
The former premier asked his department in 2010 to 'lead a review of management arrangements in Tasmania, to investigate the right balance between biodiversity conservation and bushfire mitigation' (Media Release, 28 September 2010).
Two closely linked measures have been progressed. A Draft Planning Directive Bushfire Prone Areas Code (Draft Bushfire PD) has been produced by the Tasmanian Planning Commissio (TPC) and it is currently assessing public submissions. The Fire Service Amendment (Bushfire Prone Areas) Bill 2011 was recently introduced into Parliament. It provided the necessary authority for the TFS to implement an accreditation process for individuals to certify bushfire hazard management plans.
The TCT's submission to the Draft Bushfire PD raises numerous serious concerns.
Restricting development
The VBRC report recommends to 'substantially restrict new developments and subdivisions in those areas of highest risk in the Bushfire-prone Overlay'.
While the state government response did not rule out such a course of action in Tasmania, it did not explicitly support it either. The Draft Bushfire PD and Background Paper continue this neutral stance, by failing to mention development restriction as an option.
The TCT recommends that the Draft Bushfire PD should be amended to enable planning authorities to restrict or prohibit development in some circumstances, on the basis that, in extreme situations, the risk cannot reasonably be managed or mitigated (through bushfire management plans) but must be avoided entirely.
It appears that the state government simply does not have the stomach for such a serious policy issue but does not want to rule it out. On such a serious life-and-death matter it is not good enough to say nothing and hope no one notices.
Since making our submission, we have written to the new premier to determine whether the government intends to restrict new developments and subdivisions in those areas of highest bushfire risk.
Purpose of the Planning Directive
The TCT questions why the purpose of the Draft Bushfire PD is solely focused on minimising risk to human life and property, rather than balancing these objectives with protection of the environment – as per the Tasmanian Government's response to the VBRC Report recommendation 41.
Although not mentioned in the Draft Bushfire PD or Background documents, the TPC advises that a Biodiversity PD will also be developed and that planning authorities will need to implement both. We are not reassured by this as there is no guarantee that a Biodiversity PD will be developed with adequate controls over what can be done for the purpose of bushfire management.
The state government response to the VBRC recommendations reinforces our concern that biodiversity will be given second priority by the state government.
The VBRC recommendation 43 is that, 'The Department of Sustainability and Environment conduct biodiversity mapping identifying flora, fauna and any threatened species throughout Victoria and make the results publicly available.'
The state government's response is that, 'No further action is required', because,
'The Tasmanian Government already undertakes biodiversity mapping and this information is publicly available through the Land Information Service Tasmanian (LIST).'
Anyone who works in threatened species management in Tasmania knows that the mapping of threatened species habitats is highly inadequate and the government's statement is patently misleading.
Limitations of bushfire management plans
Under the Draft Bushfire PD and amendments to the Fire Service Act, the TFS will accredit suitably qualified people to develop and approve bushfire management plans, and to advise planning authorities when these plans are required. The planning authorities merely refer developments to accredited people and will not be required to see bushfire management plans, let alone approve them. The general public will not know what these plans contain and how they may be affected by them. This is totally unacceptable.
Bushfire management plans must follow TFS guidelines, but we recommend that the Draft Bushfire PD state what the guidelines require, to ensure that these are legal requirements. Also, the guidelines are very brief and provide virtually no substantial guidance. They should be improved.
High bushfire risk areas
The Draft PD does not contain a prioritisation of bushfire prone areas, e.g. high, moderate and low, based on vegetation type, topography etc, and this would seems to be a significant omission.
Water supply
There are many factors that will affect the likelihood that a water tank or dam will be maintained and that water will be retained for fire-fighting and not used elsewhere, but these factors are not mentioned. We suggest that development should be restricted where it is highly unlikely that water supply is maintained.

ScotChain 2018
ScotChain is a must-attend event for anyone interested in learning more about the fundamentals of Blockchain and its application in a variety of commercial and societal settings. We were delighted to be asked to design the new Identity for the 2018 event.
The thinking behind the identity iconography.
We created the iconography from drawing two, three dimensional blocks. By removing areas of the 3D blocks we created the negative space "S" whilst at the same time, creating the links to suggest blockchain.
Designing the ScotChain 18 lanyards.
To show off the new identity, we created the new ScotChain 2018 Lanyards. Giving continuity of style, across every touch point.
Tomorrow's solutions today, brochure.
To outline the vast range of expertise, and the level of community and academia projects MBN are involved in, as well as their core business of recruitment. We created a quick guide brochure to highlight their key services.
Standing out from the crowd, MBN Solutions.
To finish off we created MBN's Pop-Up Exhibition Stand, completely in-line with the Brochure, and all other collateral created for #ScotChain18.
Always looking after their employees.
With a growing team, we redesigned the MBN employee benefits brochure, inline with their fantastic range of staff benefits, and the new brand style.

The Event: NGV Announce The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier
He has dressed some of Australia's most famous women in some of the fashion world's most outrageous looks and now the designs of Jean-Paul Gaultier are coming to Melbourne in an elaborate showcase of his work on exhibit at the NGV from October: The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk.
The exhibit will feature more than 140 of his creations, including never before seen costumes worn by Madonna and Beyonce alongside pieces lent by Kylie Minogue for viewing only by the Melbourne audience.
On the announcement of the exhibition, Makers of Melbourne spoke to curator Thierry-Maxime Loriot.
The exhibition has so far shown in Montreal, Spain and New York, and will be visiting Paris after it comes to Melbourne – what brought his work here to Melbourne?
It's really the fact that the museum is fantastic and the programming and the team at the NGV is very avant-garde. The space is amazing and it's nice to share with a country that has the same open vision.
Tell us a little about the scale of the exhibition.
It's been five years. I started work on the archives in 2009 and the exhibition itself has been travelling since 2011. To bring it together took two years of going through his archives which was very exciting but also terrifying – we had to choose from thousands of pieces and pick only the 140 or so that are on exhibit. But it's been a unique opportunity: you would see his dresses in magazines and movies and then to see them in front of you… It's like viewing a Picasso painting in a book and then experiencing it as you would in a gallery space.
Can you pick out any special pieces that speak to you?
There are so many dresses and pieces that Gaultier created that are so fantastic when you look at the craftsmanship – incredible couture pieces that are beaded and embroidered – but there were certain pieces I was dying to exhibit that we have held on to until we came to Melbourne: the dress Nicole Kidman collected her Oscar in for The Hours – the same with Kylie Minogue's costumes. I knew we were coming to Australia so I kept them as a surprise.
What was Jean Paul like to work with?
In one word? Fantastic. What you see in pictures – that he is always smiling and happy and full of ideas – is really what he is. What you see is what you get: there are no surprises with him. He is a fantastic storyteller with so many incredible tales to tell of the relationships and inspiration behind each of his collaborations
Will there ever be another Gaultier exhibition such as this?
I think it is something that can only be done once because even at first he never wanted to do an exhibition of his work. The form he works with is the human body so he prefers to see his work on real humans rather than mannequins. He believes normally exhibitions in museums are for dead artists, not living designers. Certainly I consider Jean Paul an artist, even if he considers himself an artisan.
The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk will be on show at the NGV from October 17, 2014, until February 8, 2015.

Screening and coating looks like the best kept secret of the hardwood floor world. In our opinion, this should not be kept as a secret. It's an important process that can save a lot of time and money on the long run, if done periodically and properly.
A screen is just a mesh encrusted with abrasive particles. Because it is a mesh, there are fewer abrasive particles per square inch, making it generally less aggressive than sandpaper (a 120-grit sanding screen, for example, will be less aggressive than 120-grit sandpaper.)
Screens are also used under thick soft pads that further soften the cutting action of the screen. This is desirable because floor screening should only leave enough texture in the floor to allow a new coat of polyurethane to bond; screening should remove only a tiny fraction of the existing finish.
Polyurethane is considered a protective sacrificial coat. Over time, the plastic in the finish is slowly removed by the friction of day-to-day living.
That layer gets thinner and more scratched each year, because its job is to keep damage away from the wood below. But if you let that protective coat deteriorate for too long, it will eventually expose bare wood to assaults from doggy toenails, coffee spills and baby drool, causing damage that can only be repaired by sanding the whole floor. This, you do not want.
So, every few years, well before the protective coat has grown too thin, you refresh it with another coat. The crucial word is "before;" you have to recoat a floor before you see damage, which is hard for some people because they think they're leaving money on the table by top-coating what appears to be a perfectly good floor finish.
But polyurethane on floors is kind of like sunscreen on skin: not only do you need to put on a good thick layer before you expose it to the sun; you must reapply it periodically because it wears off. Once sunburn begins to appear, it is too late to start applying protection. Protection is always less costly than the damage that results from not having it.
If you wait too long, the your floor cannot be fixed this way and will need a total make over. Also, floors that have been treated with wax or washed with oil soaps will be really hard if not impossible to coat.
One should start looking for evidence of damage on a wooden floor about three years after the last sanding and coating and it's always better to prevent than to spend money on fixing, so even if you don't see any damage, it's better to have your hardwood screened and recoated if a couple of years already passed since it was coated last.
If you are not sure if you floor needs or not a screen and recoat, you can either give us a call or request a free estimate on our website and we will be more than happy to come over and inspect the floor for you.
You better screen and recoat it today, than to sand it all the way to bare wood and refinish everything. That will always be more time consuming with bigger wallet damages, than a periodical screening and coating.

text: Edge. [ɛdʒ-ɪŋ] Involves actions and techniques that get you close to orgasm and hold it "at the edge" for a long time (even hours). At that point, you either have a very intense orgasm, or else you might even choose not to have it at all and just save it for another day. Saying that your into edging implies that you want to participate in a lengthy, intense, sex-play scene.
