Many apps contain maps or location-based intelligence, yet they can be very different. Have you ever thought about why they differ so greatly? These differences may be attributed to the many individual and creative ideas of the different designers and developers. But quite often the look and behavior of these apps are due to the developers and designers recognizing the specific goals of their users and adapting their app to meet those goals.
While this topic provides a detailed look at the main types of native, location-based apps (patterns), you also need to have a solid understanding of your users and what they need to achieve with the app.
The patterns can be categorized into two main groups: apps with maps and mapless apps. The latter group is by no means inferior. ArcGIS Runtime SDKs contain a large amount of functionality that can be leveraged with and without a map.
For details about choosing among the native, hybrid, and web patterns, see Native vs. web.
Mapping apps
Maps can be added to an app for different reasons. It is the context in which the map is used that determines how it should appear and behave in the app, which, in turn, is determined by what your users need.
Map-centric apps
In map-centric apps, the map is the most important thing about the app. Usually the map opens first and is the focus of the app. Examples include the ArcGIS App and Collector for ArcGIS. The user gets value out of the app by interacting with the map; it's the map that provides the desired intelligence or information.
Many of these apps open only one map or allow the user to choose from a few maps that are important to them. Users interact with the same map for some time.
An example of this type of app is one that allows field workers to:
- View their organization's assets in relation to their current location.
- Determine the route and time it will take to get to the asset.
The value to the user is the map itself.
App start-up
In these apps, it's imperative that users get to the map as quickly as possible every time they start the app. Re-opening the last map they were looking at is usually good practice. To do this, store information about the map (and its state, if desired) on disk so it can be retrieved when the app restarts.
Device form factor
The form factor of the device will also affect how the map is presented. Map-centric apps will take over the entire screen of devices such as tablets and phones, whether in portrait or landscape. However, on tablets in landscape mode or on desktops, there may be enough screen real estate to incorporate side panels that contain information about the map. Some apps restrict the screen orientation to ensure a good user experience. For example, an app may restrict phones to portrait because in landscape, the map is too small and getting to the tools too difficult. Consider carefully what the user needs to do and whether they get usability benefits from using the app in the different orientations.
If you do support multiple screen orientations and sizes, you should make sure that you optimize the design for each of those that you support. This may mean designing specific screen layouts for the different options. You may also have to consider what happens when a user turns the device from one orientation to another.
The cartography of the map is also important. Full cartography recommendations are outside the scope of this topic, but many resources are available to help you make maps like professional cartographers do, such as the Esri Mapping Center. In general, use appropriate symbols that make sense to the user without having to look at a legend. Ensure layers are visible at appropriate scales. Using scale dependency settings not only provides the right information at the right time (scale), but it also can improve performance. Also ensure that colors of symbols and the commonly used basemap in your app work well together.
Be aware of the tools your apps expose. Your default tools should be the most commonly used, and they should be provided to the user in an appropriate way for the platform and form factor your app is running on. For tips on appropriate use of tools, see Provide mapping tools.
Map-as-navigation apps
In maps-as-navigation apps, the map is important, but it's not the most important part of the app. The map in this case drives the navigation of the app and lets the user discover additional information and access other screens that provide value to the user. From the user's point of view, the map itself has little value in this app; it's a tool to get to the information they need.
The toolset associated with the map should be focused, as the user will not be performing many additional map functions unless it allows them to get to the target information more quickly or add some value to the information they receive. Often a drawing or selection tool is appropriate to allow users to quickly draw their area of interest as a graphic on the map. The resulting graphic is then used to query information (in the form of a QueryTask or query on a layer in the map). It's possible to query for information as the graphic is being drawn to provide instant feedback, although the performance considerations of this should be evaluated. The use of geoprocessing to retrieve data and provide information can also be used in this scenario.
Cartography is typically important, as the map should be simple and allow the user to select the areas or features that will display the information of interest without any distractions. Consider which basemap you should use in this scenario.
An example of this type of app is one that allows users to define areas on the map that show what properties are for sale, what school districts the properties are in, and what the average sales price is. The valuable content for the user is not the map, but the resulting information. However, without the map, the user is unable to get to the target information.
Pop-ups can be used to display information based on features in the map. These are UI components that are provided in the SDKs that allow you to build rich user experiences through map configuration rather than code.
Map-as-context apps
In a map-as-context app, the map is an additional or auxiliary view in the app and is mainly used for contextual purposes. The map is created and shown based on some other source information also visible in the app. The map displays additional information, which the user can choose to consider. The map is typically auto-populated with the correct layers, layer filters (also called layer definitions), location, and zoom level specifically based on the source information.
In this case, map tools should be limited. In many cases, there should be no map tools, and the source information actually navigates or changes the map. This requires binding the map's behavior to other view controls or elements that hold the source information and can provide for an intuitive user experience, especially for those users who are not used to working with map interfaces.
Again, cartography is important for this scenario, as there should be few distractions on the map.
An example of this scenario is displaying a weather map for a specific location and time. The source information in this case is the location name, the time of day, and the weather forecast for that area (temperature, wind speed, humidity, and so on). Initially, the map shows additional weather information (cloud cover and rain radar for example) for the location and its surroundings at the time that is being displayed. If the user changes the time of day, the map updates to show the weather information for the new time. The information the user wants to know is the weather forecast (the source information); the map in this case is additional contextual information that adds value to the source information. A map can be useful in this scenario, for example, when the source data shows the location will have clear skies at 1:00 p.m., but the map shows a rain cloud nearby, at 2:00 p.m. the forecast is still sunny but the rain cloud is closer, the user now knows a rain cloud is heading in their direction.
Mapless apps
Mapless apps that contain location-based intelligence are common and valuable, especially in devices that leverage GPS and motion sensors to provide information to users. In this pattern, the user should never know about GIS, spatial intelligence, or mapping, and you should choose your tool names and information screens carefully to hide these from the user.
Any spatial tasks that are run in these apps are run in the background and should not interrupt the user's flow. This typically requires asynchronous development for tasks to run on background threads (not on the UI thread).
Some of these mapless apps (as well as many mapping apps) may require local data to be on the device. To achieve this, you can use services, or you can provision the device with the data. For details on how to retrieve and access offline data (whether using a map or not), see Create an offline map.
ArcGIS Runtime SDKs have many functions, described in the following bullets, that can help you build a mapless app.
- Geometry engine (GeometryEngine class) allows you to:
- Measure distances—How far away is a location I'm interested in?
- Determine intersections/proximity of features and geometries—What county am I in? Does this road cross any rivers?
- Buffer locations to find other features—How many coffee shops are near me?
- Perform conversion from one coordinate system to another—Where am I on the map? You can convert lat/long coordinates from a GPS to a projected coordinate system.
- Geocoding (Locator class) allows you to:
- Find places—Where is Redlands, CA? Can you show me coffee shops near me?
- Reverse geocode—What's the address at this location?
- Routing (RouteTask class) allows you to show directions without a map—What are the driving directions to get from one location to another?

Robert Duvall is marking 50 years in show business with his award buzz-worthy performance in "Get Low." But don't think for a moment that he's thinking about retiring.
"There's stuff left," he said at the "Get Low" press day. "Even as we speak."
The 79-year-old actor did take time to discuss some career highlights and his longtime collaboration with Horton Foote who wrote the screenplay for Duvall's first movie, "To Kill a Mockingbird" as well as 1983's "Tender Mercies." (the film in which Duvall won an Oscar).
"I've had a wonderful career. If I had only worked with Horton Foote and Francis Ford Coppola (of "Godfather" fame), I would have had a wonderful mini-career," he said. "But I had many other opportunities as well."
The writing in "Get Low," he noted, was much like Foote's screen adaptation of "Mockingbird." But he said there were only a few similarities in the hermit he plays in his new movie, Felix Bush, as compared to his famous Boo Radley in "Mockingbird."
"They are both hermetic types, but very different," he said. "This guy (Felix Bush) could have been a lawyer, a teacher, a doctor. That guy (Radley) was a little off mentally. But many people are comparing them."
Duvall and his "Get Low" co-star Lucas Black will star next in the independent golf film "Seven Days in Utopia."
One thing he's not keen to get back into is the theater. Duvall received rave reviews for "American Buffalo" on Broadway in 1977. But he hasn't been back since.
"I like film," he said simply. "I don't like to do things seven or eight times a week. It's like eating steak every night. You get tired."

A serious vulnerability exists within the WebDAV component of Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) Web server. WebDAV stands for "Web-based Distrbuted Authoring and Versioning". WebDAV extensions are used by administrators to manage and edit Web content remotely. WebDAV is enabled by default on IIS 5 installations, and no authentication or special privileges are required for remote exploitation.
It is possible for remote attackers to run arbitrary code on vulnerable Web servers. This vulnerability is currently being exploited in the wild, and X-Force has verified the existence of a functional exploit tool. This vulnerability is in itself very serious, but the existence of robust exploits in the wild dictates that fixes or temporary workarounds should be applied immediately.
Although it is possible to disable WebDAV, doing so requires manually creating a specific registry key. The IIS Lockdown Tool from Microsoft may or may not turn off WebDAV, depending on the server template selected at installation time.

After meeting campaign spokesman Richard Grenell this morning, you probably asked, "What can I expect from a Mittens presidency?" Probably, according to ItsHeatherRose, one long rest cure broken up only by a series of channel-surfing pregnancies:
I can see the first press release now:
"Gurl, those rights totes make your ass look HUGE. Put down that slut candy you take every day and come snuggle on the couch with the Republicans. We'll watch Sucker Punch on repeat and get you nice and pregnant and disenfranchised. You'll love it - It'll be like a spa makeover day, except we'll be making over your basic human rights! Vote for Mittens!"
This message approved by the Romney for President campaign. And Seamus the dog.

Agreement takes effect Dec. 9.
The country's largest union representing federal government workers has signed off on the first collective bargaining agreement for officers at the Transportation Security Administration.
At a ceremony at TSA's headquarters in Arlington, VA, on Friday, the American Federation of Government Employees made official the agreement TSA employees ratified in a 17,326-1,774 vote earlier in November. The three-year CBA will take effect Dec. 9 and includes a new leave system, procedures for shift bidding and trading, and an expanded uniform allowance.
"This agreement means better working conditions, fair evaluation practices and safer workplaces," AFGE President J. David Cox said in a statement
After winning the right to represent TSA in June 2011, AFGE began negotiating the agreement with the agency in January 2012, and finished in August. The signing concludes a decadelong campaign by AFGE to represent the 45,000 security officers currently working at TSA.statement

DEAR ANNIE: My boyfriend lives with a woman who gave birth to his child. He says it is not a romantic arrangement. She wanted to get pregnant, and he provided the genetic material. He sleeps on the sofa.
My issue is, when he wants to spend time with this kid, the mother must always be present. She also isn�t aware that he is dating me, and we�ve been together for two years. He is divorced, and his ex-wife and other children don�t know about this child. He expects me to keep his secret, stay away from the birth mother and be fine with all of this � even when overnight trips are planned.
I will never be fine with this. He says I should trust him. But, Annie, I just can�t wrap my head around why I should blindly accept this. Am I wrong? � THIRD WHEEL
DEAR THIRD: Your boyfriend is juggling three separate lives: one with you, one with his ex-wife and children, and another with his �secret� child and the biological mother. We can think of no good reason for this man to be living with another woman unless he has made a commitment to her in addition to his child. He can support the child emotionally and financially without sleeping on her sofa.
It is not your place to inform his ex-wife or his other children about his arrangement. However, we think he is having a romantic relationship with the woman he lives with, and you are his sideline. What you do about that is up to you.
DEAR ANNIE: I am 17 years old, and I have a younger sister who is 13. Her attitude is awful. I have to drive her to school every day, and we always get into fights. She constantly criticizes my driving and puts me down. She also calls me a lot of names and says hurtful things. We even got into a physical fight.
I�ve told my parents that she is rude and I am not inclined to do anything for her. But my parents won�t get involved. They never punish her, and she gets away with everything. In fact, they just bought her a new computer.
I don�t know what to do anymore. I can�t wait until I leave for college and won�t have to deal with her. Is that wrong? What should I do? � FRUSTRATED SISTER
DEAR FRUSTRATED: We understand that your little sister is driving you nuts. This is not uncommon with younger siblings. We suggest you be the adult. Don�t let her ruffle you. Ignore her barbs and criticisms, which are intended to provoke a response and get your attention. When you need to vent, talk to your school counselor, best friend, favorite teacher or a sympathetic relative. But please remember that when your sister outgrows this immature stage, she could become your closest friend. Hang in there.

Chris Brown may have told MTV he wants the details of what happened between he and Rihanna on the night of February 8, to be private, but he doesn't want to brush the episode aside.
In a new interview airing Friday on "The Wendy Williams Show," the host asked the R&B performer what he has to say to those who think he hasn't been acting remorseful.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Rihanna: Music's Style Superstar
"The steps that I've taken to show that I'm sorry probably have been perceived wrong…Certain things, when I'm doing certain interviews, and how my posture is to how I'm acting," Chris told Wendy in a clip released on Thursday afternoon.
But while he thinks he is being wrongly perceived, Chris insists he feels sorry for his past actions.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Chris Brown
"At the end of the day, I'm definitely remorseful and it's not something that I take lightly or think that it's like under the rug," Chris told Wendy. "I really think it's something that is a serious matter and I'm learning from it."

Hankerin' for some fresh Christmas music?
Looking for some fresh (if not new) Christmas/Holiday/Winter music to add to your annual listening tradition? I know, nobody really buys or listens to "albums" anymore, with our iTunes-driven music world being so song-centric. Well, that may be true most of the time, but at Christmastime I'm still quite album-centric, since I prefer to pack my cds away with the decorations, and essentially rediscover them each year.
Plenty of the mainstream classics are among my annual favs too, including those by John Denver & The Muppets, Vince Guaraldi, The Carpenters, Leontyne Price, and Mariah Carey. BUT, it's a relief to have less touted treasures to lean on, especially when the classics are getting overplayed…like right about now! Please weigh in on your own rarer holiday favorites.
"Images de Noël": Karina Gauvin ('99)
A phenomenal, underrated crystalline soprano, who specializes in baroque repertoire. Here, she offers spirited renditions of holiday-themed art songs.
"The Christmas Album: Original Masters": Various Artists ('03)
Vintage German/Austrian favorites, originally recorded from '52 to '70. Includes greats Gundula Janowitz, Fritz Wunderlich and Hermann Prey. You'll feel like you're having a Christmas in Salzburg! The retro graphics are charming too.
"Carols From the Old and New Worlds": Theatre of Voices ('93)
I first experienced this album thanks to my old voice teacher, who was a member of Theatre of Voices at the time of this recording. It features TIGHT harmonies that feel authentically old world, but still fresh.
"A Cold December Night": Erin Bode ('08)
This album offers perfect winter simplicity, delivered in Bode's gentle spirit.
"Classic Christmas": Billy Gilman ('00)
This is easily my most fun and cheerful Christmas album…it'll make you feel a bit more like a kid again.
"The Hotel Café Presents: Winter Songs": Various Artists ('08)
A great compilation of atmospheric, moody contemporary performances, including many originals. Tracks 1, 7, 11, and 15 are favs.
"Christmas Means Love": Joan Osborne ('95)
Originally released by Barnes & Nobles, this album didn't get wide enough distribution. You've gotta listen to "What Do Bad Girls Get?". Her inspired pipes are showcased throughout!
"Have Yourself A Jazzy Little Christmas": Various Artists ('89)
There is NO better jazz compilation than this. All tracks are mid-century recordings, performed by jazz greats. Originally given to me as a gift, it has become a necessary annual tradition for me! Truly perfect!
"An Oscar Peterson Christmas": Oscar Peterson ('95)
Tired of Guaraldi, but you like the whole jazzy Christmas thang? This is another great option.
"Hymns Carols and Songs Sbout Snow": Tuck Andress ('91)
Of Tuck & Patti fame, Andress offers up some gentle renditions of the classics.
"Christmas Disco": The Mistletoe Disco Band ('78)
Wanna shake things up a bit (literally!)? I grew up on this album, and was SO obsessed with the girl on the cover (or, was it her outfit?)! This is some of THE finest Christmas cheese, and the periodic sexy back-up singers are priceless.
"The Bells of Dublin": The Chieftains ('91)
I'm honestly not sure how many or few have this album, but I've never heard it get any play on the radio, nor heard a friend reference it. So, I'm going to assume it's not as well known as it should be. Do some vicarious travel to Ireland, thanks to this cd.
So, pour a glass of egg nog, nestle under your most comfy blanket (with a loved one, pet or just yourself), and enjoy some less "played" tunage!

I tried this,
but I need to define the String nr1 before the if-statement. How can I do this?System.out.println("Enter your number: "); nr1 = scn.nextDouble(); if(nr1.equals("stop") || nr1.equals("Stop")){ String nr1 = nr1(double); System.exit(0); }
Also, is there any other way to do this? As in if I write stop in any place it will shutdown the program?
I want the nr1 to be converted from a double to a string in the if-statement. I do not want it to be converted so it will work outside the if-statement, as it will only ruin the rest of my code.

Look behind: Reality lives up to façade
ADDRESS: 2000 Miller School Road
SIZE: 5200 fin. sq. ft.
NEIGHBORHOOD: Batesville
CURB APPEAL: 8 out of a possible 10
LISTED BY: Gabrielle Hall of Bill May Realty Co. 293-3766
As with those Hollywood mock-ups of old cowboy towns consisting of painted plywood facades propped up by boards, a behind-the-scenes tour is required to know what really goes on with real estate. Such is the case with this house in downtown Batesville.
The front appears like any other turn-of-the-century, two-over-two Victorian. A formal entrance flanked on either side by equal-sized rooms above and below looks inviting– except that there is no way in. Its location on a corner enabled the owners to change the point of entry along with the entire back side of the house. What one sees from the front gives little or no indication of what is going on behind.
The steep driveway provides a sweet view of the town. From here, the job is navigating extensive decking around three quarters of the house, which is built into a hillside. These floating decks are conduits through elaborate terraced gardens and ponds. Underneath an overhang, a full-sized outdoor room with furniture and grill has undoubtedly been party to many a summer evening gathering.
Entering the house, then, without a formally defined front door is more like a change of venue than a formal entrance. Appreciating houses that have been lived in for so long entails ignoring accumulations of personal belongings that can overwhelm a space.
Unfortunately, here that is almost impossible. Every square inch has become a backdrop for tchotchkes, evidence of the owners' eclectic tastes. But the prevailing impression is not of "stuff" so much as of lived-in comfort. Slightly dark, the atmosphere hovers somewhere between an English country pub and an antique emporium begging for hours-long browsing.
At one point, two porches ran along both sides of the house, but these have been enclosed to create a massive area consisting of living room, dining room, kitchen, and everything in between. It's easy to imagine this space as a site for a wide variety of personal displays. Beyond this area, toward the front of the house, the two original rooms have been turned into office and sitting areas with wall-to-wall bookshelves filled to capacity with the tangible results of lives spent collecting.
Down the hallway to the "front" of the house, where a door once stood, the former entrance has been turned into a delightful seating area.
Up the staircase, one finds an almost mirror image of downstairs. Two original bedrooms separated by a wide central hall occupy the front, and the current owners have added a fabulous new bathroom with skylights and tiles. The large room downstairs duplicates the master bedroom up here. Another bathroom as well as laundry room and seating area have been added with great flourish.
California still runs in the blood of the current owners, so all additions and changes have been made with a nod to west coast modernity. Skylights and unusual window shapes let light stream in, making it almost impossible to believe that this was Batesville's icehouse circa 1880.
Dogs prevented us from touring a rented two-bedroom apartment on the basement terrace level.
The three-acre parcel stretches up and out behind the house into the woods. A boutique vineyard could be established up here there's enough land to produce grapes for 600 cases of wine. (Perfect for the garden gatherings sure to occur.)
Batesville from the street remains as charming as ever, with little or no obvious changes in the past decade. But more goes on here than one might imagine. A community has been fostered by the lack of fences. Neighbors willingly share space and keep an eye out for each other.
While Hollywood back lots are often disappointing, in this case, the reality is far more pleasing than the façade.

Metabones and Caldwell Photographic Announce Speed Booster
Metabones and Caldwell Photographic announced their collaborative new camera/lens accessory called the Speed Booster. The Speed Booster is an adaptor that mounts between a mirrorless camera and an SLR lens. It promises to increase the aperture by 1 stop and has a focal length multiplier of 0.71x. This means you could attach a Canon 50mm lens by way of the Speed Booster adaptor to a Sony NEX camera (with a 1.5x crop factor this lens would usually become a 75mm lens) and have that lens effectively become 53.25mm. By using this attachment, the company states that you will have a faster f-stop which will give you a shallower depth of field and require a lower ISO setting. In addition, you are receiving almost the same focal length as if you were using that lens on a full frame camera.
Currently, the Speed Boost adapter has a limited number of camera-to-lens combinations being released in January 2013. As of this release ALPA and Leica R lenses are able to be combined on Fuji X and Sony cameras. An adaptor for Canon lenses and the Sony NEX camera is also available. The company promises that their collection will grow to include ALPA, Contarex C/Y, Leica R, and Nikon F (with aperture control for G lenses) lenses. They will also add Micro Four Thirds mounts to their line-up. The Speed Booster ranges from $399-$599 depending on the adapter needed.
Not looking for a Speed Booster, but want to attach SLR lenses to mirrorless cameras? You're in luck. Metabones also provides less expensive adaptors to accomplish this task.

Is your commercial flat roof leaking? Or maybe your aging flat roof is breaking down from wear and tear. If you need a commercial roof repair or roof replacement, TPO roofs are a fantastic option as a single-ply membrane. TPO, or thermoplastic polyolefin is one of the most popular commercial roofing materials in the entire country.
Our local recommended Millville commercial roofing contractors have years of experience with TPO roofing.
There are many reasons why TPO roofs are one of the most popular systems in the United States over other commercial roofs.
Affordability: For the money, TPO roofing is one of the best values for your budget. If comparing to a commercial material like PVC, TPO is generally a more cost-effective or budget friendly option.
Ease of Installation: TPO compared to other commercial roofing materials is also easier to install. Since it has fewer seams, the sheets of membranes weigh less and are wider, it allows for a quicker and more seamless roof installation process.
Lifespan: While some commercial flat roofs do not handle the sun's UV rays well and crack from the blistering sun, TPO holds up well to the sun's rays. By reflecting UV rays, a TPO roof can avoid aging and sun-related damage. A quality TPO roof can last from 10 to 20 years depending on the product you select & the warranty (on average about 15-years).
Energy Efficient: A TPO roof is made up of reflective material from the construct of its membranes. As mentioned above in the lifespan benefit, a reflective roof helps to lower your cooling costs by keeping out the sun's rays.
Aesthetics: In the past, most commercial roofing systems had one option which was a black roof. A TPO roof provides you with options. There are several colors such as tan, white, gray and of course black.
It is important to maintain your TPO roof after having it installed. It is a great idea to have yearly maintenance check-ups and tune-ups to keep your TPO roof in quality shape. A commercial roof is an expensive investment, and you want to extend your roof's life for as long as you can before having to have your roof replaced. If you'd like any help with your TPO roof, or would like a TPO roof evaluation or inspection, call the most trusted TPO commercial roofer in Delaware!

Does it take long to replace a roof on a house?
Replacing a roof is a labor intensive project and depending upon the type, size and complexity of the roof it could take one day or a few days or more to complete. It also depends upon weather conditions. Bad weather always creates delays and hinders completion of the project.
Can you install roof shingles in winter?
Asphalt shingles can be installed properly in winter (late fall and winter) but only if some additional costly measures are taken. A specialized adhesive is needed to be manually applied to each shingle if the temperature is below 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
What is the minimum roof pitch for asphalt shingles?
The manufacturers say a 4/12 pitch is the minimum but the absolute minimum is 2/12. Pitch is measure in inches in vertical rise over one foot of horizontal run. So a 4/12 pitch roof rises 4 inches vertically for every 12 inches of horizontal run.
How long do asphalt shingles last?
Asphalt shingles can last up to 30 years. Wood shingles and shakes have a target lifetime of 30 years, but they can last much longer under moderate weather conditions.
What roof lasts the longest?
Material lifespan:
|Wood Shake
|14-20 years
|Asphalt Shingle
|10-30 years (20 is the norm)
|50+ years
|50+ years
|50+ years
|25+ years
|Built-Up (BUR)
|25-30 years
|30+ years
So the metal, steel, tile, concrete and slate roofs last the longest. Asphalt, built-ups and single ply are the next longest lasting roofing material.
Are metal roofs noisy?
This may surprise you but metal roofs, when installed with solid sheathing, are actually quieter than asphalt roofs. These metal roofs, when installed properly, can actually silence the noise from rain, hail and other bad weather better than those other roofing materials.
Do metal roofs attract lightening?
No. Metal roofs do not attract lightening and are not struck any more often than any other roofing materials. People's concern about metal roofs being hit by lightning strikes comes from the fact that metal can be an electrical conductor.
Bottom line, what is the cost to the homeowner?
If you have insurance and insurance is paying, then the homeowner's cost is their deductable and any upgrades. Call for a free quote and check your insurance policy to see the amount of your deductable to help you know the costs involved.
Does my roof have to be replaced or can it be repaired?
The common thought is that a leaking roof has to be replaced, but this is not necessarily the solution unless it is very old. Those missing, cracked, broken, or curling shingles are able to be repaired and replaced to stop a leak without replacing the whole roof, while older roofs or roofs with many leaks or other issues should be replaced.
What is the cost to repair my roof?
Repair costs vary and depend upon the pitch of the roof, the kind of shingles used, the condition of it, and how many different layers of shingles are on the roof. The only way to know what the price is to have someone come out to your house and provide you with a free quote.

Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi had major jitters before telling her dad about her unplanned pregnancy, People magazine reported.
"Oh, I was scared to tell my dad, of course!" says the 24-year-old reality star.
Polizzi, who found out she was pregnant with her first child last winter, was also anxious to break the news to her castmate Jenni "JWOWW" Farley.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
She was nervous that her pregnancy would affect her plans for a "Jersey Shore" spinoff that she was scheduled to film with her best friend, according to People.
The MTV spinoff "Snooki & JWOWW" premiered Thursday.
Polizzi, who is due in September, is currently hard at work filming the sixth season of "Jersey Shore" in Seaside Heights, New Jersey. But don't expect to see Snooki drinking heavily with her castmates or hitting the tanning salon.
The self-proclaimed guidette has toned down her partying ways this summer. She is focused on the health of her baby boy and her engagement to fiancé Jionni LaValle, she told People.
The pint-size star said that her family has been very supportive of her pregnancy.
"[My dad] is excited now. I think [my parents] are more excited than we are," Polizzi told People.
"I'm their only child and this is going to be their [first] grandchild."

Say this about Celtics rookie Jared Sullinger — he doesn't allow an off night to get him down. Sullinger bounced back from his worst game as a Celtics with his best, collecting 12 points and 11 rebounds in 26 minutes yesterday for his first NBA double-double in a 107-89 victory over Toronto at the Garden.
Say this about Celtics rookie Jared Sullinger — he doesn't allow an off night to get him down.
Sullinger bounced back from his worst game as a Celtics with his best, collecting 12 points and 11 rebounds in 26 minutes yesterday for his first NBA double-double in a 107-89 victory over Toronto at the Garden.
In his previous game Thursday at Brooklyn, Sullinger had no points or rebounds and played just 7-1/2 minutes.
"He wasn't happy about not playing against Brooklyn," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said, "and I just told all the guys, 'If a guy got an offensive rebound on you, you're coming out,' and he was the first."
"I wasn't upset that I didn't play a lot," Sullinger insisted. "I was just upset that we lost."
So Sullinger took his frustration out on the Raptors. He made 5 of 8 shots and grabbed four of Boston's seven offensive rebounds. His previous career highs were six points and seven rebounds. Rivers likes the way Sullinger never loses his cool on the court.
"He's a calming effect at times when you put him in," Rivers said, "and I don't think I've ever said that about a rookie."
Sullinger enjoyed his first double-double.
"It feels good," he said, "because I'm used to having double-doubles."
As a freshman at Ohio State, Sullinger averaged a double-double — 17.2 points and 10.2 rebounds — and as a sophomore last year, he nearly averaged a double-double again with 17.5 points and 9.2 rebounds.
Chris Wilcox scored eight points in a season-high 24:45 as he continues to battle his way back after undergoing heart surgery last March.
Because the Celtics don't practice often, Rivers plays him in long stretches in lopsided games such as yesterday's to get him in better shape.
Wilcox admitted his wind still isn't where he wants it, but said he has overcome any mental hurdles following his surgery.
Rivers was shocked to hear that Hostess, the maker of Twinkies, was going out of business.
"Twinkies went out of business?" he said. "You're kidding me. That (stinks). I didn't know that. I haven't had one in like 30 years now, but I'm sure it's still in my body."
Yesterday's game was a rare early afternoon start, 12:30 p.m. to be exact, because before the lockout, the Bruins had been scheduled to host the Maple Leafs last night in what would have been a Boston-Toronto doubleheader.
The Celtics had trouble getting going in early-afternoon games early in the Big Three era.
"I'm fine with it," Rivers said of the early start. "As a coach, I love them, not because of the game but because it gives you a ton of time after the game to prepare for the next game, but as a player I never liked them. They just come too quick. Most players are creature of habits and so it just takes you out of your routine. I think this is the only one this year, so that's the good news."
Actually, the Celtics will play four more early-afternoon games — at noon at Brooklyn on Christmas Day, and 1 p.m. games at home against Miami on Jan. 27, at home against the Clippers on Feb. 3, and at Oklahoma City on March 10.
Jason Collins, who made his Celtics debut Thursday at Brooklyn, wasn't with the team yesterday because of a family emergency. Rivers wasn't sure if Collins would be with the team tonight in Detroit.

Oracle Damages in SAP Case Could Top $1 BlnBy Reuters - Print
Oracle is suing TomorrowNow, a U.S. subsidiary of SAP, for corporate theft and alleges it illegally downloaded masses of Oracle customer service materials and passed those documents to SAP.
FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Damages sought by software maker Oracle Corp (ORCL.O: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) could top $1 billion in an intellectual property lawsuit it has brought against arch-rival SAP AG (SAPG.DE: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), according to a court filing.
Oracle is suing TomorrowNow, a U.S. subsidiary of SAP, for corporate theft and alleges it illegally downloaded masses of Oracle customer service materials and passed those documents to SAP.
"Because defendants have not provided Oracle with critical information relevant to liability and resulting damages, Oracle does not yet know its damages with precision," Oracle said in a filing this week to the U.S. District Court in San Francisco, California.
"But, even so, it appears Oracle's damages are, at a minimum, well into the several hundreds of millions of dollars and likely are at least a billion dollars."
SAP replied in the joint discovery statement: "Oracle speculates wildly about the amount of its damages 'claim' in this discovery report, even though more than a year after this case was filed, Oracle still refuses to identify with any precision the nature or amount of its alleged harm or even to provide the theory on which its damage claim is based."
SAP has admitted employees of TomorrowNow, which specializes in customer support for PeopleSoft and JD Edwards software, inappropriately downloaded some Oracle materials.
SAP bought TomorrowNow in 2005 after Oracle bought PeopleSoft, which in turn had acquired JD Edwards -- hoping to exploit uncertainty among PeopleSoft and JD Edwards customers as to how Oracle would support them.
Germany-based SAP is the world's leading maker of software applications to help large businesses automate and manage functions ranging from human resources to supply chains.
Oracle, the world's biggest database company, has spent billions on acquisitions over the last few years to challenge SAP's leadership in that area.

Was a tad concerned about the amount of ginger in this...but it worked perfectly, the heat was lovely without overpowering the flavours. Didn't bother heating up the oven to finish this off (seemed like a waste of energy), just popped the lid on the frying pan after adding the fish until it was cooked....yummy!
13th Jan, 2012
I have cooked this before a long time ago and thought that the ginger was way too over-powering. I think that was because i found it hard to grate it fine enough and it was a bit too fibreous (spelling??) for my liking. Im going to try this recipe again tomorrow as I now have a super-duper contraption for getting ginger grated perfectly without all the fibres. Cant wait!

Ok, we know healthcare costs are getting out of control. Not just in the US, but everywhere. LINK 2011
So here's my plan for setting rates based on some personal responsibility:
1. Pay a normal price if you want, but if you want a better deal, agree to have your blood pressure (and what else???) tested. If it is too high, you have the chance to redeem yourself by going on an EAT TO LIVE diet for a week (a month?) — maybe literally have someone feed you meals from Phase I of EAT TO LIVE.
2. And then get tested again. If there is no change, then OK, that is your baseline even and even if it still too high, oh well, you are not going to be charged more. But if it is now low, that's the new benchmark. And if you slack, then tough, you can pay the higher rate.
3. Everyone needs to get retested every 6 months let's say. Like a dentist cleaning.
4. Repeat.
So it's totally up to you if you want to eat / exercise as you wish. But it no longer punishes people with healthy bodies. Or look at it how you want… most people will continue as normal, others will choose to "sacrifice" to save some money.
Just an idea. Wouldn't that work just fine? Combine with KEAS at the workplace if you want. Paying less is "positive reinforcement". Plus not dying is nice. But the immediate $$ savings is more REAL I think.

Sirius has got talent ... and decent earningsAugust 7, 2012: 12:36 PM ET
I'm still sorta stunned that shock jock Howard Stern has deigned NBC's sappy "America's Got Talent" contest to be worthy of his time. But with shares of Stern's key employer Sirius XM Radio (SIRI) doing as well as they have lately, maybe the self-professed King of All Media has mellowed out a bit.
Sirius reported decent earnings and sales growth for the second quarter Tuesday. That lifted shares by more than 5% in mid-afternoon trading. And the stock is up more than 20% year-to-date. Investors were happy to hear that the company also boosted its subscriber targets for the full year.
Now there's a couple of reasons why the satellite radio company's stock has been a big hit this year. Most notably, the rebound in auto sales in the U.S. has to be helping. GM (GM), Ford (F), Toyota (TM) and other major car companies have agreements with Sirius to pre-install Sirius XM radios in their vehicles.
But the other factor lifting the stock is the hope that Sirius may soon get taken over by investor John Malone's Liberty Media (LMCA). Malone took a stake in Sirius when the company was in dire straits during the worst of the recession in early 2009 and is now trying to take full control of Sirius. The Federal Communications Commission will ultimately decide if Liberty can take over the firm outright.
However, it's not yet clear if the highly respected current CEO Mel Karmazin will remain with the company after his contract is up at the end of the year -- regardless of what happens with Liberty. So that could be a risk. What's more, Sirius still faces some tough competitive challenges from the likes of Apple (AAPL) via its iTunes platform and the devices the run on it as well as online radio firms Pandora (P) and Spotify. But for now at least, it does not look like there's much static on the radio for Sirius in the short-term. Check today's Buzz video below for more.>

All of creation suffers, young ones. Only in accepting our own mortality can we make a difference. Only in bearing the burden of our failures can we find the strength to go on. Only in detachment from glory, or honour, or jealousy... from life itself can we hope to spare others from grief. We are Doom Eagles. And we are dead already.

5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup pomegranate molasses
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
5 medium red onions, peeled, each cut into 8 wedges through core, with some core still attached to each piece
2/3 cup fresh pomegranate seeds
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 teaspoons finely grated orange peel
Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 425°F. Line large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk first 6 ingredients in large bowl. Add onions; toss gently. Arrange onions close together, 1 cut side down, on baking sheet; spoon juices from bowl over. Roast 20 minutes. Using a small spatula, carefully turn onions over. Continue to roast onions until tender and thickly coated with glaze, watching to prevent overbrowning, 20 to 25 minutes longer. Remove from oven. This dish can be made several hours in advance up to this point. If you want to serve the onions warm just re-warm in a 350* oven before serving.
Mix pomegranate seeds, parsley, and orange peel in small bowl.
Arrange warm or room-temperature onions on platter. Sprinkle gremolata over and serve.
