Biological Activity
|TPCA-1 is an inhibitor of IKK-2 with IC50 of 17.9 nM in a cell-free assay, inhibits NF-κB pathway, exhibits 22-fold selectivity over IKK-1.
|In vitro
In a time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer assay, TPCA-1 inhibits human IKK-2 activity with an IC50 of 17.9 nM. In addition, TPCA-1 is demonstrated to be ATP-competitive. Besides, TPCA-1 exhibits IC50 values of 400 nM and 3600 nM against IKK-1 and JNK3, respectively. TPCA-1 inhibits the production of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-8 in a concentration-dependent manner, exhibiting IC50 values of 170, 290, and 320 nM, respectively. [1] TPCA-1 inhibits glioma cell proliferation, as well as TNF-induced RelA (p65) nuclear translocation and NFκB-dependent IL8 gene expression. Importantly, TPCA-1 inhibits IFN-induced gene expression, completely suppressing MX1 and GBP1 gene expression, while having only a minor effect on ISG15 expression. [2]
|Cell Data
|In vivo
|Prophylactic administration of TPCA-1 at 3, 10, or 20 mg/kg, i.p., b.i.d., results in a dose-dependent reduction in the severity of murine collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). The significantly reduced disease severity and delay of disease onset resulting from administration of TPCA-1 at 10 mg/kg, i.p., b.i.d. are comparable to the effects of the antirheumatic drug, etanercept, when administered prophylactically at 4 mg/kg, i.p., every other day. Nuclear localization of p65, as well as levels of IL-1beta, IL-6, TNF-alpha, and interferon-gamma, is significantly reduced in the paw tissue of TPCA-1- and etanercept-treated mice. In addition, administration of TPCA-1 in vivo results in significantly decreased collagen-induced T cell proliferation ex vivo. Therapeutic administration of TPCA-1 at 20 mg/kg, but not at 3 or 10 mg/kg, i.p., b.i.d., significantly reduces the severity of CIA, as does etanercept administration at 12.5 mg/kg, i.p., every other day.

|Kinase Assay:[1]
- Collapse
IKK-2 Assay:Recombinant human IKK-2 (residues 1-756) is expressed in baculovirus as an N-terminal GST-tagged fusion protein, and its activity is assessed using a time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer assay. In brief, IKK-2 (5 nM final) diluted in assay buffer (50 mM HEPES, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM CHAPS, pH 7.4, with 1 mM DTT and 0.01% w/v BSA) is added to wells containing various concentrations of compound or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) vehicle (3% final). The reaction is initiated by the addition of GST-IκBα substrate (25 nM final)/ATP (1 μM final), in a total volume of 30 μL. The reaction is incubated for 30 min at room temperature, then terminated by the addition of 15 μL of 50 mM EDTA. Detection reagent (15 μL) in buffer (100 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, and 0.1% w/v BSA) containing antiphosphoserine- IκBα-32/36 monoclonal antibody 12C2, labeled with W-1024 europium chelate, and an allophycocyanin-labeled anti-GST antibody is added, and the reaction is further incubated for 60 min at room temperature. The degree of phosphorylation of GST- IκBαis measured as a ratio of specific 665-nm energy transfer signal to reference europium 620-nm signal, using a Packard Discovery plate reader.

This book presents an ethnographic study of how grassroots activism in Venezuela during the Chávez presidency can be understood in relation to the country's history as a petro-state. Taking the contested relationship between the popular sectors and the Venezuelan state as a point of departure, Iselin Åsedotter Strønen explores how notions such as class, race, state, bureaucracy, popular politics, capitalism, neoliberalism, consumption, oil wealth, and corruption gained salience in the Bolivarian process. A central argument is that the Bolivarian process was an attempt to challenge the practices, ideas, and values inherited from Venezuela's historical development as an oil-producing state. Drawing on rich ethnographic material from Caracas' shantytowns, state institutions, as well as everyday life and public culture, Strønen explores the complexities and challenges in fostering deep social and political change.

This edited volume examines how economic processes have worked upon social lives and social realities in Latin America during the past decades. Through tracing the effects of the neoliberal epoch into the era of the so-called pink tide, the book seeks to understand to what extent the turn to the left at the start of the millennium managed to challenge historically constituted configurations of inequality. A central argument in the book is that in spite of economic reforms and social advances on a range of arenas, the fundamental tenants of socio-economic inequalities have not been challenged substantially. As several countries are now experiencing a return to right-wing politics, this collection helps us better understand why inequalities are so entrenched in the Latin American continent, but also the complex and creative ways that it is continuously contested. The book directs itself to students, scholars and anyone interested in Latin America, economic anthropology, political anthropology, left-wing politics, poverty and socio-economic inequalities.

The very first point I want to make certain that The Lost Ways definitely offers the greatest results.
When compared to other ebooks and paper publications I have read, I consider this to be the bible for this topic. Get this and you will never regret the decision.
The Lost Ways 2
Our evolution has made us what we are right now. We have amenities for everything. However, what we lack, or rather have lost, are the ways that our ancestors used to survive harsh calamities. They didn't rely on anyone but did everything themselves from harvesting to building houses, and everything in between. Some of the ancient civilizations created innovative ways that even pay off if they are followed. Three of them are the superfoods created out of simple ingredients. These foods contain nutrients that could keep you in vitals for longer than anticipated. They could prove to be your life saviors in times of peril and this is exactly what the book The Lost Ways 2 intend. A sequel to The Lost Ways 1, this book contains much more than just superfood recipes. It has instructions on building charcoal filters, kilns, log houses, medicine making, harvesting, hunting and using parts of your game as raw material to make necessary tools, and much more. Besides this, you can get two bonus reports. One on using 4 acres of land for self-sufficiency and the other one on getting prepared for an imminent EMP attack. Read more here...

How many photovoltaic modules can you fit on the roof of a recreational vehicle Well, this one holds fifteen panels. The system's owner, Brint Gilbert, is using this RV to find his country home. And when Brint eventually finds his homestead, he will know where his power will come from. Finding a suitable place for a homestead is not easy. In early 1970, we put 14,000 miles on a truck looking for our homestead. We drove from California to Maine and back again. We traveled the back roads crossing the largest blank spaces we could find on maps. After six months of ceaseless travel, we got lost and found our homestead on Agate Flat, Oregon. This is Brint's mission. The RV carries Brint and his mother in solar-powered style as they search for their country home. When they find their home, then the PVs and system components come off the RV to be installed in their new homestead. Meanwhile, when Brint is at his present home in Mesa, Arizona, he plugs into the RV and uses its solar power to...

Generator Placement and Powersheds
Powersheds are a common outbuilding on the remote homestead. They often serve multiple functions of housing the generator, batteries and power conditioning equipment required with your PV system. Beyond this, they can also house tools and equipment as well as support the solar array if oiaced in a sunny, non-shaded area. It is a good idea to keep flammable fueis and gasses in a separate building rather than the building in which one sleeps.
Pond Aeration Photovoltaic Powered
Pond Aeration is a technology used by ranchers, recreationalists, scientists, and entrepenuers for improving water quality and fisheries management. The basic principle involves the pumping of air into the water column to increase the supply of oxygen. We would like to share with you our collective efforts and experiences with PV powered pond aeration systems. Pond aeration allows ranchers the opportunity to keep ponds free from aquatic vegetation which can clog watering and irrigation equipment. Recreationalists can better enjoy their fishing experience in a healthy pond or lake environment. Water treatment facilities utilize pond aeration in waste water lagoons to achieve water quality. Another common application for aeration is the business of aquaculture where aquatic life is cultivated for sale. Although the process has been used for many years, only
Just say Yes to sunshine
Colin and Christine live in the mountains outside of Jacksonville, in southwestern Oregon. At their elevation of 3,000 feet, there is abundant sunshine above the fog that often blankets the nearby lower valleys. Their homestead is located about one mile from the nearest hard surfaced road or commercial electrical hookup. Colin & Christine's Homestead Colin and Christine are serious about construction. Colin realized that heavy equipment was the best way to move all the dirt and rock necessary to make his homestead. Colin bought a used small bulldozer and used it to construct the earth berm for the house , to rough out the garden, and to dig two ponds.
Straw Bale Construction
People have buili homes using straw, grass, or reed throughout history. These materials were used because they were reliable and easy to obtain. European houses built of straw or reed are now over two hundred years old. In the United States, too, people turned to straw houses, particularly after the hay straw baler entered common usage in the 1890s. Homesteaders in the northwestern Nebraska Sandhills area, for example, turned to baled-hay construction, in response to a shortage of trees for lumber. Bale construction was used for homes, farm buildings, churches, schools, offices, and grocery stores. Matts Myhrman and Judy Knox, straw-bale construction consultants, have visited many of these Nebraska-type bale structures, built between 1900 and 1940. Myhrman rediscovered the area's oldest existing bale building, the Burke homestead, constructed in 1903 outside Alliance, Nebraska. Although abandoned in 1956, the Burke homestead continues to successfully withstand Nebraska's wide...

The Power Vent
My husband Bob-O and I have been slowly repairing, rebuilding, and changing a few things on our off-grid homestead with an eye to our retirement. Having paid off our mortgage a decade ago, we wanted to tackle some high-dollar projects that needed to be addressed before we are on a fixed retirement income. It is empowering to work on our own home. We know we are investing in our homestead's future, whether we are here or not. And if it doesn't look professionally done, that is part of the charm. After all, if it was perfect, it wouldn't be our home.

Home Business Basics
A home business is an ideal way of keeping beans on your remote homestead table. However, a home business is more of a lifestyle choice than a meal ticket. It means being able to spend more time in your beautiful home, with your family. It allows you to use less resources and live a lower impact life. A home business eliminates the daily commute. In some some places, such as here at Agate Flat, a commute is not even a consideration. Not only is it long and tedious, but in the winter and spring it is near impossible. Commuting is also a dangerous place for you and your family to spend a lot of time. And who hasn't wanted to be their own boss. A home business will do these things. For those who want a self-sufficient lifestyle, a home business provides a solid economic base.
I sized the shunt load a little low to prevent unnecessary cycling and provide a little equalizing on each cycle. For output resistors to adjust the load, Nichrome coil elements from stoves, hot plates, etc., cut to length are cheap and easy some come with their own stand-off ceramic insulators which a dedicated homesteader can re-use.

We moved to the Oregon outback in 1970 and immediately went into economic catharsis. All our skills were city skills. Karen took odd jobs punching cows for the neighboring ranchers (she loves horses) and worked short order cookin' at the local bistro. I made sold fancy knives, pimped electrons for the neighborhood CBS network television station, and planted trees. We grew a garden and got by as best we could. Over the years, we learned to adapt our skills and were able to survive without leaving our beloved mountains. Our neighbors saw what we were doing for electricity, and before we knew it, we were in business providing power systems for others. Our turnkey renewable energy business, Electron Connection, and Home Power Magazine now keep us in grits. We don't have to leave the mountains to join in the feeding frenzy of corporate weaseldom.
Wind Industry
Electricity consumption had also increased over the small demand of the 1930s. There was a need for larger wind turbines, as 5 m diameter rotors could not meet the demands of farmers and ranchers. In addition, there were many more uses for electricity, which would require larger-size wind turbines.
The farm windmill proves that wind energy is a valuable commodity, even though the size is small. For example, there are an estimated 30,000 operating farm windmills in the Southern High Plains of the United States. Even though the power output is low, 0.2-0.5 kilowatts (kW), they collectively provide an estimated output of 6 megawatts (MW). If these windmills for pumping water were converted to electricity from the electric grid, it would require around 15 MW of thermal power at the generating station and over 1,000 million for the transmission lines, electric pumps, etc. This does not count the dollars saved in fossil fuel with an energy equivalent of 130 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year (equivalent to 80,000 barrels of oil per year). Because many of these windmills are 30 years old or older and maintenance costs are 250-400 per year, farmers and ranchers are looking at alternatives such as solar water pumping rather than purchasing new farm windmills.

It will only contain so much electrical energy, just as the bucket will only contain so much water. The amount of capacity a battery has is roughly determined by its size and weight, just as a bucket's capacity is determined by its size. It is difficult to water a very large garden with one small bucket, it is also difficult to run a homestead on an undersized battery. If a battery based renewable energy system is to really work, it is essential that the battery have enough capacity to do the job. Undersized batteries are one of the major reasons that some folks are not happy with their renewable energy systems. The more we understood our batteries, the better use we made of them. This information applies to high antimony, lead-acid deep cycle batteries used in homestead renewable energy service. In order to relate to your system you will need a voltmeter.

Northern Sun Power
We were a long way out in the Alaskan bush, over 100 miles from the nearest power grid, and spending more & more time in a two-room log cabin while planning our bigger homestead. The little cabin worked on dry cell batteries for a radio, and kerosene lamps. The latter were a fire hazard and would never do on a larger scale. Photovoltaics were the obvious way to go, but we had to start from scratch on the design. In the meantime we acquired and remodeled a much larger log cabin nearby. This was going to be our solar-powered homestead. By this time, we had accumulated enough of that hard earned experience to start projecting our power needs and figuring out what would be required to meet them. We took to heart a guiding principle of home power and started first on power conservation and load management. Conservation

DIY String Art
String art has been around for a while; it was popular in the 70s, but it is enjoying a comeback as a simple and fun way to make your own artwork. This retro craft requires very few materials and is an inexpensive way to add some personality to your walls. It's an excellent project for beginners, too, because it doesn't require any special skills. It isn't difficult to achieve an impressive finished product using this technique, especially if you choose a shape that has simple outlines.Continue to 2 of 6 below.
02 of 06
Gather Materials and Locate an Image
Before you begin, gather the following materials:
- A piece of wood cut to the size you want; you can stain or paint it if you wish
- Computer
- Printer
- Scissors
- Tape
- Linoleum nails (how many you need depends on the size of your project; one pack was enough for this project)
- Hammer
- Embroidery floss in colors of your choosing
First, you'll need to locate an image to use as your pattern for the string art. You can either search the internet for simple shapes—like a house, for instance—or check around your home for illustrations to use as a pattern. Print out or photocopy the image and cut out its silhouette.
Tip: Look for images and patterns that have fairly simple and straightforward outlines.Continue to 3 of 6 below.
03 of 06
Outline the Shape With Nails
Next, position the pattern on the piece of wood and use tape to secure it temporarily.
With a hammer, lightly pound linoleum nails all the way around the paper pattern. Try to space them as evenly as possible and nail them to the same depth.
Tip: To prevent your fingers from getting hit with the hammer, pinch each nail in a clothespin and hold that instead of the nail itself.Continue to 4 of 6 below.
04 of 06
Outline the Shape With String
When the shape has been outlined completely with nails, remove the paper pattern. Using embroidery floss, outline the perimeter of the shape. Begin by tying the floss to the first nail, and leave a tail for tying off when you are finished.
Tip: Use all six threads of the embroidery floss. Using fewer will cause the strings to break when you pull it taut against the nails.Continue to 5 of 6 below.
05 of 06
Changing Directions at a Corner
When you reach a corner or need to change the direction of the string, wrap the string tightly around that nail. This will keep things tight and help maintain the integrity of the shape.Continue to 6 of 6 below.
06 of 06
Fill in the Shape With String
Once you have outlined the shape with string, begin filling it in by crisscrossing and wrapping from nail to nail. There is no rhyme or reason to this process. Simply go from side to side; top to bottom and corner to corner, varying the lengths and order randomly. If you see that you're about to run out of string, try to end where you left a tail of string at the beginning. Knot the ends tightly and start another bundle of floss there as well. Repeat this process until the shape is filled into your liking, then tie off the end when finished. Clip the tails of thread. Now that you've finished, you can display your creation wherever you want in your home! You can also start a new string art project while you're at it.
Tip: You could use more than one color of embroidery floss to fill in the shape, or choose a variegated string.

CIMS Weekly Update, 12/2/18
Good evening, Corwin International families. This is Mrs. Masciotra with the weekly update.
We'd like to thank staff, students and families for joining the CIMS Travel Club at Barnes and Noble on Saturday. It was a very successful event.
Just a reminder to all families that 18 hours of volunteering is due at the end of each school year. There are a variety of holiday items available in Parent Booker. Please take a moment to see any of them meet your volunteering needs.
Corwin International is giving back to our community by collecting new or gently used books for the Pueblo Child Advocacy Center from November 26th-December 6th. The PCAC helps children who are suspected victims of abuse. They appreciate all donations, but are especially in need of chapter books for older children. We appreciate all of your support!
Finally, save the date for Friday, December 14th. PTO will be hosting the first of two bingo nights. Raffle baskets will be given away and a portion of all proceeds will go back to the CIMS PTO.
That concludes our announcements. Have a great evening.

On this page you will find the documents that volunteers used to carryout the surveys. Please click on the links to download these documents. You may wish to survey your own buildings. If you do so, please let us know how you got on.
The Survey Process
Each volunteer was given a copy of the Volunteer Survey Manual, to help them carryout their surveys. The survey process was split into two parts. Firstly, using a worksheet created for the project, to record observations on the physical condition of the buildings, looking in particular at roofs, high-level stonework and gutters and downpipes. These observations were collated to produce an overall assessment of condition in one of four categories: good, fair, poor, very poor. Secondly, again using a worksheet created for the project, volunteers had to assess the historical and architectural significance of each building, based on background research and on-site observations

The system allows drivers equipped with RIM 950 Wireless Handheld devices to log on to the company's RoadShow dispatch system with their name, state and odometer reading. The company has equipped 150 drivers initially and plans to double the deployment to 300 by year's end.
According to BellSouth, the custom system was developed with BellSouth Powertool software – a development kit that allows developers to create custom applications using the RIM 950 over the BellSouth Intelligent Wireless Network.
Because of the system, Guaranteed Overnight Delivery claims deliveries have increased from an average of 12-13 stops per day to an average of 15-20 because drivers no longer need to locate pay phones. The company also claims dispatchers who could manage no more than 20 drivers at a time can oversee 40 to 50 drivers using the BellSouth system.
Guaranteed Overnight Delivery's trucks with the initials G.O.D. emblazoned on the side are a familiar, sometimes controversial sight on Eastern highways.

The Roman Catholic Bible editions usually include seven other books that are from the Septuagint, but not in the Hebrew Bible. On the other hand, many of the English Protestant Bibles, particularly the King James Bible used only the Hebrew texts. These later Greek works became known as deuterocanonical or apocryphal works of the Bible. These post-exilic books tell the stories of various Israelite figures. These seven extra books have the story of Tobit, the story of Judith, as well as the stories of 1 Maccabees and 2 Maccabees. However, they also include writings the Wisdom of Solomon, Ecclesiasticus or Sirach, and Baruch.
The useless false wooden gods (Bar 6:70-6:73)
"Like a scarecrow
In a cucumber bed,
That guards nothing,
So are their gods of wood,
Overlaid with gold
Or silver.
In the same way,
Their gods of wood,
Overlaid with gold
Or silver,
Like a thorn bush
In a garden,
On which every bird perches.
They are
Like a corpse
Thrown out in the darkness.
From the purple
Or the linen
That rot upon them,
You will know
That they are not gods.
They will finally
Be consumed themselves.
They will be a reproach
In the land.
Is someone upright.
Such a person
Will be far above reproach."
This letter of Jeremiah found as the last chapter in this book of Baruch ends with a comparison of these false wooden gods covered with gold and silver. The author compared them to a scarecrow in a cucumber bed that guarded nothing. They were compared to a thorn bush in a garden where birds sat on it. They were compared to a dead corpse in the dark. All of these useless items were like these useless idol gods. Even with purple or linen on them, they would still rot. They would be finally consumed and become a reproach to all. It was much better to be an upright person beyond reproach than any of these gods. So ends the letter of Jeremiah in the Book of Baruch.
The wild animals compared to the heavenly bodies (Bar 6:68-6:69)
"The wild animals
Are better
Than the idols are.
They can flee
To shelter.
They can help themselves.
So we have no evidence
That they are gods.
Therefore do not fear them!"
Once again, there is a comparison of the living wild animals with the dead wooden idols. Obviously, the living animals are better than these false idols because they can flee to shelter and help themselves. Thus, there is no evidence whatsoever that these idols are gods. Therefore we should not be afraid of them.
Nature obeys (Bar 6:60-6:65)
"The sun,
The moon,
The stars
Are bright.
When sent
To do a service,
They are obedient.
So also the lightning.
When it flashes,
It is widely seen.
The wind likewise blows
In every land.
When God commands
The clouds to go
Over the whole world,
They carry out
His command.
The fire sent from above
To consume mountains
Or woods
Does what it is ordered.
But these idols
Are not to be
Compared with them
In appearance
Or power.
Therefore anyone
Must not think
That they are gods.
They are not called gods.
They are not able
Either to decide a case
Or to do good to anyone.
Since you know then
That they are not gods,
Do not fear them!"
This author notes that the sun, the moon, and the stars are bright. However, they do what they are told to do. The same is true about lightning flashes and the wind. It blows wherever God commands it. The clouds go all over the whole world as they carry out God's commands also. Fire does what it is ordered to do. How can you compare these great works of obedient nature to these false idol gods, since they have no power. They cannot solve cases or do good for any humans. How can you call them gods, since you know that they are not gods? Thus there is no need to fear them.
Comparative value of these false idols (Bar 6:59-6:59)
"So it is better
To be a king
Who shows
His courage
Than to be
These false gods.
It is better to be
A household utensil
That serves
Its owner's need,
Than to be
These false gods.
It is better to be
Even the door
Of a house
That protects its contents,
Than to be
These false gods,
It is better to be
Also a wooden pillar
In a palace,
Than to be
These false gods."
This author draws a sense of the comparative value of these false idol gods. He explains that it is better to be a courageous king than a false god. That is pretty simple. It is better to be a household utensil that at least serves its owner's needs than be a false god. It was even better to be a door in a house that protects its contents than be a false god. It was also better to be a wooden pillar in a palace than be false god. You are better off being a practical wooden item than a useless impractical false wooden god.
These false gods and robbers (Bar 6:57-6:58)
"Gods made of wood,
With silver
Or gold,
Are unable
To save themselves
From thieves
Or robbers.
Who can,
Will strip them
Of their gold
Or silver.
They will strip them
Of the robes
They wear.
They will go off
With this booty.
These gods
Will not be able
To help themselves."
This author says that these wooden gods, overlaid with silver or gold, are unable to save themselves from thieves or robbers. Anyone can strip away their gold or silver. Anyone can take the robes that these gods wear. These robbers can vandalize and take things from these gods, because they are not able to help themselves.
The powerless idols (Bar 6:53-5:56)
"These false idols cannot
Set up a king
Over a country.
They cannot
Give rain
To people.
They cannot
Their own cause.
They cannot
Deliver anyone
Who is wronged.
They have no power.
They are like crows
Between heaven and earth.
When fire breaks out
In a temple
Of wooden gods,
Overlaid with gold
Or silver,
Their priests will flee.
They will escape.
But the gods
Will be burned up
Like timbers.
They can offer
No resistance
To a king
Or any enemies.
Why then must
Anyone admit
Or think
That they are gods?"
This author maintains that these false idols cannot set up a king over a country. They cannot give rain to anybody. They cannot judge their own cause. They cannot deliver anyone that has been wronged, since they have no power. They are like crows in the sky. If a fire breaks out in a temple of wooden gods with gold and silver, their priests will flee and escape. However, these idol gods will be burned up like timbers. These weak false idols cannot offer any resistance to a king or any enemies. How then can you think or admit that they are gods?

They will ask you powerful questions to help you develop the insights, focus, and mindset you need to achieve your goal.

Do chimney cleaning logs really work?
Many people wonder if chimney cleaning logs really work. The answer is yes and no. Chimney cleaning logs can reduce some of the creosote buildups. However, they are not a safe replacement for a professional chimney sweep and inspection.
How Chimney Cleanings Are Supposed to Work
Whenever you burn fuel in your fireplace, gas particles travel up and out of your chimney. Some of the gas particles fail to completely exit the chimney. These particles condense and stick to the inside of your chimney, forming a thick tar-like buildup called creosote. Creosote is highly combustible. The Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) identifies creosote buildup as a common cause of chimney fires.
In theory, chimney logs release a chemical that causes the creosote to become flaky and brittle and fall through the flue. Chimney cleaning logs only reduce some of the creosote. They do not clean to the professional standards required to reduce potential hazards within your chimney.
Why You Need A Professional Chimney Inspection And Sweep
A professional chimney sweep includes more than cleaning your flue. A professional completes an inspection, cleans the chimney and educates you on potential hidden hazards within your chimney. Creosote buildup is only one of many factors that can affect your chimney.
Whether or not chimney cleaning logs work depends on how you define "work". Do they reduce some of the creosote buildups? Yes. Do they do a good enough job for you to be confident that your fireplace is as safe as possible? No. Are they an acceptable replacement for a professional chimney sweep and inspection? Never. A professional is the best option.
Are you ready to get your chimney cleaned by a professional? Be sure to read this article on how to choose the right professional chimney sweep company.
How To Choose The Right Chimney Repair Company
The state of your chimney determines the health and safety of your home because chimneys vent the harmful air outside. If your chimney needs to be cleaned or repaired, you need to take steps to fix it. This is not the place for do-it-yourself projects. You should always hire a professional company like ours to do it for you to comply with your local building codes, your home owner's insurance policy and more importantly, avoiding any kind of unwanted injuries to you or your loved ones. In any case, you need to be confident your home is safe for your loved ones, so you need to be able to choose the right chimney repair company that better suits your need. This can look like a daunting task but worry not. This article will help show you how to choose the right chimney repair company in the Howard County and Washington DC Metropolitan areas.
To choose the right chimney repair company, you need to do some homework.
- Edcuate yourself
Educate yourself about chimneys before your appointment. Having a basic understanding of chimney technology. This allows you to tell if the chimney expert is telling you the truth or just trying to sell you something. The more you understand the way your chimney works, the easier it is to see what needs to be done to keep it working.
- Do your research
Look for local companies that have about us pages like ours that give you a clear understanding of the what the company is all about.
- Find out what they have to offer
See what they offer and how they present their services. Do they provide information that helps you understand what they do, like blog posts or articles? Do they have the expertise you need?
- Read online reviews
Look at independent reviews of the company online. Ask your neighbors who they use and why they would use that company again.
- Ask questions
Contact the company and ask questions. What makes them different from other companies? How familiar are they with your local codes? Do they offer a free consultation and estimate?
- Make sure they meet industry standards
The best companies have high safety and quality standards. They also should be members of the leading chimney organization like the CSIA. This should be on their website along with any other certifications and associations.
- Ask about their training
Are the technicians regularly updating their training to keep up with industry changes? Do their technicians have certifications for fireplace repair in your jurisdiction? For example, let's say that you live in Howard County, MD and you choose a company that also service Washington DC. Do they have technicians that are licensed in both states?
- Read their online reviews
Don't make your decision for or against based on one negative review. Read all of the reviews and look for trends. If you see several reviews complaining about the same thing, then maybe that is their weakness. The same applies to strengths.
- Choose a company that focuses on long term solutions
Choose a company that recommends long term repairs over cheap temporary fixes. If you really should have a new chimney cap or liner, slapping some sealant on a crack is not going to fix the problem. A good chimney service will identify what needs to be done and tell you what it should cost. If you can't afford the best option, they should be able to tell you the best options for your budget.
- Look for signs of personalized service
A chimney repair service should offer personalized service. This means that the team that comes to your home is backed up by management that supports their decisions in the field. You can trust what they say they will do because they are accountable to their home office. You should be able to contact that office with questions.
- Never choose a company that is overly focused on low prices
Look for companies that spend more time discussing the quality of their service than how their low prices. Companies that focus on offering the lowest prices tend to sacrifice quality.
A good chimney repair company will offer more than repairs. They should offer preventive maintenance as well as repairs. Since most chimney problems show up during the recommended yearly cleaning, it makes sense to look for a full-range chimney service company that can be trusted to partner with you in keeping your home maintained properly. That trusted partnership is the reason that choosing the right chimney services company is so important.

5 Tips For Preparing Your Chimney For Spring
Springtime is often not the time that homeowners are thinking about chimneys but this is a good time of year for doing many maintenance tasks. Fireplace and chimney maintenance is essential regardless of whether you have a wood burning fireplace, pellet stove or gas fireplace. In fact, professional chimney companies like ours recommend getting your chimney cleaned and inspected to catch problems in their early stages. There are many things that homeowners should do to prepare their chimneys for the spring.
Eliminate fireplace odors
The smell of a wood fire is lovely while it is burning, but the scent of an uncleaned chimney and fireplace in the humidity of summer is not wonderful at all. A foul-smell can be a sign that you need chimney repairs.
- Professional chimney sweeps have the equipment and experience to remove ash and creosote without leaving a mess.
- A clean fireplace is an excellent location for your favorite scented candles to burn safely.
- Uncapped chimneys are holes in your roof for the rain to come in and mix with an uncleaned stack to harden residue and create odors.
Repair cracks that can lead to chimney leaks
The Mid-Atlantic spring is a series of freeze/thaw cycles. Water seeps into hairline cracks in your chimney, freezes, and widens those cracks so that more water can get in and freeze again. The recurring freeze/thaw cycle can split boulders. Imagine how much damage water can do to your chimney. Repairs should be an be scheduled before the summer rains start. Failure to do so can result in costly repairs.
- The cement crown is designed to shed water away from the chimney. If it is cracked, it will start to crack and cause leaks.
- Crowns can also be rebuilt or replaced.
- Mortar between bricks can be re-pointed, and a few cracked blocks can be replaced without rebuilding.
- Further damage to masonry usually requires that the chimney must be rebuilt.
- Waterproofing your chimney keeps the freeze/thaw cycle from occurring.
- Common causes of chimney leaks can be addressed, like inadequate flashing.
Keep critters away from your chimney
Did you know that chimney swifts are a federally protected species? They start coming into the area in late March and begin nesting in May. Early spring is the best time to take steps to prevent them from moving in. If there is a chimney swift nesting in your chimney, you cannot get rid of them. You must wait until they are done raising their young before removing the highly-flammable nest. Other unwanted visitors can include:
- Raccoons
- Squirrels
- Rats & Mice
- Bats
How do these unwelcome visitors get in? If damage has occurred in your chimney cap or screen, they consider any opening an invitation. Birds and animals in chimneys and flues cause fires and keep carbon monoxide from leaving your home so it's not something you can ignore even if you don't mind sharing your space with wildlife. In most cases, animal problems can be prevented by installing a chimney cap.
- Check for signs of uninvited wildlife.
- Remove the wildlife following safety precautions (most people call an animal control service) and remember that chimney swifts are a protected species.
- Keep them out by installing screens and caps to your chimneys and vents.
Close The Damper
Many times the damper is inadvertently left open after the last fire of the winter is enjoyed. This can be a problem in the spring and summer:
- Open dampers can draw your expensively cooled air out of the room and up the chimney.
- Even with a screen, some unwelcome wildlife can make an appearance. Mice can fit in a hole the diameter of a pencil.
- A violent summer storm can rain sideways resulting in leakage that bypasses your chimney cap and flows past your open damper.
Make Renovations & Remodels Easier
Springtime is a good time to renovate or remodel your fireplace and chimney. As next winter approaches, everybody else will be suddenly scheduling chimney cleanings and fireplace installations. Chimney companies will take longer to schedule service, and in many cases, the prices are higher. Now is a good time:
- Think about the past winter. What did you wish you had in the way of fireplaces? Gas instead of wood? Insert or stove? A nicer view of the flames? An easier form of indoor heating? Now is a great time to see what would be involved in making that wish come true.
- Were you happy with your previous chimney cleaning experience? Check out testimonials of potential chimney services that can offer more than a quick swipe at soot.
- Ask for a professional estimate of the options that would work in your home and get a reliable estimate of the cost.
- Schedule your upgrades soon so they can be done in good weather and when it is most convenient for your summer plans.
What is a Fireplace Insert?
If your home has an open masonry fireplace, you may want to consider having a fireplace insert installed. A fireplace insert is a fireplace contained in a metal box that converts your home's inefficient, masonry fireplace into a gas, wood-burning, or pellet stove. Many homeowners in the Washington DC Metro Area find installing a fireplace insert to be a great option to increase energy efficiency while maintaining the natural beauty of a fireplace. For this reason, many chimney and fireplace companies like ours find fireplace inserts to be in high demand.
How does a fireplace insert work? In simplest terms, a fireplace insert consists of two parts: a steel shell and a firebox. The firebox is designed to contain a fire (and its heat) so that rest of the room is heated with minimal waste. The steel shell surrounding the box helps to improve efficiency. Together, these two components work to make your home's fireplace safer and more energy efficient.
Types of Fireplace Inserts
There are many different types of fireplace inserts, though a few of the most common types include
Not sure which is right for your needs? Explore some details about each fireplace insert below.
Gas Fireplace Inserts
When you're looking to convert your fireplace into an efficient and low-maintenance option, gas fireplace inserts are an excellent choice. Some of the key benefits of installing a gas fireplace insert in your home include:
- Unrivaled ease of use! Just flip a switch to get your fire started; no need to buy firewood or pellets.
- Low maintenance! No ashes to clean out after each use and no dangerous creosote deposits to worry about building up.
- More precise temperature control than a wood-burning or pellet fireplace.
- Environmental friendliness! Fewer pollutants released into the atmosphere.
If you're considering a gas fireplace insert, it is worth noting that the cost of fuel to run your gas fireplace will likely remain higher than the cost of firewood or wood pellets, so this should also be taken into consideration as you make your choice.
Wood-Burning Fireplace Inserts
If you prefer the look of real wood burning and the classic "crackle" of a traditional fireplace, then simply installing a wood-burning fireplace insert could be a wise choice. Some of the top benefits of wood-burning fireplace insert installation include:
- Being able to retain the look and feel of a "real" fire.
- Achieving the smell of wood burning, which many people enjoy.
- Improved energy efficiency when compared to an open wood-burning fireplace.
- Added safety when compared to an open fireplace.
Furthermore, the cost of purchasing firewood tends to be much less expensive than paying for gas or even pellets for a pellet stove. Keep in mind, however, that you will need a place to store firewood inside or outside of your home, and you will need to clean out your fireplace after you use it.
Pellet Stove Fireplace Inserts
For a compromise in benefits between a gas fireplace insert and a wood-burning fireplace insert, a pellet stove insert can be a smart decision. Pellet stove fireplaces operate by burning small pellets of compressed wood for safe and energy-efficient home heating. Some of the critical benefits of a pellet stove fireplace insert are:
- A lack of creosote or other potentially dangerous build-ups.
- Environmental friendliness! Pellet stoves produce very little smoke.
- The energy efficiency of a gas fireplace with a more realistic look and feel.
- Easy maintenance.
Other Important Considerations for Fireplace Inserts
While there are indeed many benefits of having a fireplace insert installed in your home, there are also some important considerations worth keeping in mind before you schedule installation. For starters, with most types of fireplace inserts, your home will need to have an existing and functioning chimney for safe ventilation of pollutants and gases created as a fire burns. If yo ur home's chimney is in disrepair, this is something you'll need to address before an insert can be installed and operated.
Overall, the installation of a fireplace insert in your home can be a great way to improve energy efficiency and make your home's fireplace safer. Now all that's left to do is decide on the type of insert that best suits your needs and find a reputable company to handle the installation!

The Reflection of The Flag
by PamFord Davis
7/02/2010 / Holidays
Our citizenship is a treasure and July 4th is the perfect time to remove it from storage, search for areas of tarnish and polish it until it shines once more. The reflection of the flag will be Old Glory at its best.
Tarnish forms due to neglect and lack of urgency. We may be shaken to awaken us from slumber by a national crisis, terrifying as 911. Patriotism is reborn; we flex our muscles and stand at attention proudly saluting the Stars and Stripes. Does the sight of our flag waving in the wind still bring a lump to your throat?
Our beginnings are reason to celebrate. The Declaration of Independence is not merely faded script on yellowing parchment. The document represents the miracle of freedom. Other nations look to our example in search for democracy. Our Republic and Constitution rest upon a foundation of faith and honor.
Does the present echo past achievements? Many mourn the spread of moral decay and decline of America's influence around the world. Is there still hope for a return to righteousness as a people and nation? What can one person do? One plus God is a majority! There is a remedy for all our weakness. Prayer patterns polish tarnished hearts and create a renewed yearning for one nation under God, indivisible, with freedom and justice for all.

Radiant floor heating (RFH) can be life-changing in the fall and winter. We have all done it, stepped out of bed on a cool or snowy Colorado morning and felt the ice-cold floors immediately shock our systems, and immediately regret getting out from under those warm, thick covers – even if the furnace is on! Older homes are even bigger culprits, where there is a tendency for the furnace air to rise toward the ceiling from vents and warm the home while leaving the floors cold and uncomfortable. This uncomfortable sensation can be felt even more so on cool tiled floors such as in the bathroom or kitchen – especially in a basement!
The benefit of radiant floor heating is a slow regulated heat using either hot water tubes or wires to warm an entire floor. This heat radiates and rises slowly, heating a room more effectively while keeping your feet comfortable without the need for giant socks or slippers.
Heated floors have become increasingly affordable over the years, adding both luxury and value to your home, and may even allow you to keep overall heater temperatures lower throughout the winter saving you utility costs as your floors will still be warm and comfortable. Most RFH manufacturers, such as Schluter's DITRA-HEAT and Warmly Yours' TempZone, even offer programmable thermostats with wi-fi capabilities to allow you more control and efficiency.

The debut of Machinima and Hasbro's animated series Transformers: Combiner Wars is just around the corner! After four weeks of fantastic prequel episodes introducing the characters at the heart of the story (such as Optimus Prime, Starscream, and Windblade), the first trailer for the new series has finally arrived. It brings to life the Autobots, Decepticons, and massive Combiners that fans of the IDW comics and Hasbro toys have come to know and love.

Set 40 years after the great war between Optimus Prime and Megatron, Transformers: Combiner Wars sees an entirely new (and much larger) threat that faces the home planet of Cybertron.

The Autobots and Decepticons have disbanded and returned to Cybertron. With the days of Optimus Prime and Megatron over, Cybertron is now ruled by a triumvirate. However, an ancient technology has enabled a new threat, the power for multiple Transformers to combine into one massive, dangerous form: Combiners.
