–> Details of the service location/time/call-in number are at the bottom of this post. <–
In a conversation I had with a friend the other day, we found ourselves thinking about the value of art. It began with curiosity: namely, of what makes the world value art less than, say, the work of a mechanic or an accountant. Why does our culture know the stereotype of the "starving artist" so well? Why does it happen, not too infrequently, that an artist will be asked to share their work for free, while that would very rarely be expected of someone who fixes a leaky shower faucet or does your taxes?
There are a lot of variables at play… but, breaking it down, the most basic answer I saw was that people find something more tangible in those things. In response, my friend pointed out that art and its value can be sort of mysterious—for instance, explaining why a piece of art is worth something can be more complex than explaining why a fixed faucet is worth something. (And never mind trying to understand the piece of art itself, or trying to know what caused it to exist in the first place! There's a lot of mystery in general that surrounds art.)
It then occurred to me that one big answer would naturally be found by looking at people's view of life and vitality. Simply put: if you're seeing the (material) body as the principal part of your identity, then of course, it's only natural that the things that go towards the preservation of the body—feeding it, giving it shelter, setting it up with reliable resources – are going to have the most obvious value.
If, on the other hand, you feel the less "tangible" element of soul as being a core part of your identity—i.e. if you feel a strong connection to the parts of you that the five senses can't locate—then you're probably very able to identify with the value of art. Mainly because art is, by its nature, an excavation of deep identity—of soul… or Soul, if we're to consider this essential quality as God-like, as holy.
The thing is, we all love art, and we innately feel connected to the art we like. I do believe that's because this holy Soulfulness is really the fabric of who we are. We're just not always entirely clear how it compares to the needs of the body.
My personal takeaway from the conversation was this: every time we awe at something that art does, every time we celebrate the (supposedly) intangible beauty that lies beyond material existence, we're actually taking a stand for Soul. We're putting our arms around our deep spiritual identity.
And, at the same time, we're taking a powerful whack at mortality… at the idea that our lives are stuck inside the breaths & heartbeats of a bodily lifespan. We're learning that we are actually endless.
So embrace Soul! Let yourself feel connected to it, through beauty, art, what have you. Consciously notice that you do this. It'll help you see more of your immortal nature. It'll point you away from the body and towards health—really, towards immortality.
(And to clarify the first part of this blog post, none of this is really about what people choose to lay down cash for. Every situation is different, after all; there's no judgment of those decisions. 🙂 More than this, I'm interested in how that concept helps us explore our definition of identity.)

One of the things that always troubled me about the fascination with madness and the intertwined eroticism and death that always pervaded the Romantic and Surrealistic sensibilities was that they were almost always expressed by people who seemed to be celebrating those things without having known their cost in personal suffering. I'm not trying to apply some kind of politically-correct standard to the appreciation of such works, just pointing out that while some were idolizing the dark underbelly of the human psyche, others were helpless to it, and found nothing remotely romantic about the experience.
Unica Zürn seems to have been one of the victims. From 1953 until her death in 1970 she was close to one of the most important Surrealists, Hans Bellmer, living with him in Paris and posing for some of his notoriously disturbing pictures. She came to become dependent on him, and not long after he was hospitalized for a stroke and broke off their relationship (he believed he could no longer care for her in his condition), she threw herself out of the window of the sixth-story apartment they shared. She had been suffering from her own decline for some time: not long after meeting fellow artist Henri Michaux in 1957, she began to experience one shattering episode of mental upset after another that culminated in her self-destruction.
Michaux himself played a central part in these breakdowns: there was something about him which reminded her of a childhood fantasy that she had entertained, and his presence fueled the writing of two works: The Man of Jasmine, most explicitly about the Michaux-image, and Dark Spring. The latter has been described as a kind of erotic autobiography: a portrait of the artist as a young girl, and also a young corpse. Zürn killed herself not long after writing it, and in a manner so strongly redolent of the death of the girl within it that it became hard to see the story as little more than a kind of fictionalized suicide note. And yet at the same time it is more than that: it can be read entirely outside of the context of her life, and it has a stark power that stays with you even when removed from that context.
What makes it work, oddly enough, is that it is a remarkably short and compact story—barely 115 pages of large type—but the details that make up the story are so sharp and well-chosen that there scarcely seems to be anything more to add. It presents us with the life, and death, of a young girl—barely pubescent but with an erotic haze suffusing everything in her life, including her obsessive devotion to her father. Her mother is insufferable; her brother subjects her to various sexual torments and eventually rapes her; gradually, she recedes inwards and finds greater satisfaction in fantasy worlds than in her daily life. The fantasies themselves reek of depravity and torment—but at least a kind of depravity and torment that are of her own creation.
When she finally does turn her erotic obsessions back outwards, they fixate on a handsome young man—an adult, where she is still really only a child to the rest of the world—whom she encounters at a public swimming pool. There is nothing outwardly sinister about him, but again, he is an adult, and she is not, and from that comes a wall that she finds impossible to surmount. And from that rebuff her thoughts turn inwards once again, to find what consummation she can in fantasies of enacting her death for real. The last scene in the book has been widely compared to Zürn's own suicide, although she seemed less to be "rehearsing" anything than admitting she was helpless in the face of what was, in her mind, a foregone conclusion about her life.
If the book is so relentlessly bleak and ends on such a phenomenally closed-ended and nihilistic note, why read it at all? For one, the compactness of the story alone makes it into quite an achievement: it's a little exhilarating to see Zürn pack so much about her character into so few words, to make one sentence do the work of a paragraph, and to evoke this girl so sharply without needing more space than she does. The other reason is more general than that: we might want to read such things for the same reasons that people are compelled to write them—because places like this do exist within us, and if someone can not only talk about them but do justice to them, then the results are aesthetically exhilarating even if they imply ghastly things. That was after all a large component of what the Surrealist mission was: to dive into the unconscious, rescue the things that might normally be thrown away by the waking mind, and make them into the substance of their art. What makes Dark Spring so hard to put out of mind is that it shows Zürn diving into her dreamworld and coming up with nothing less than her own cenotaph.

I hadn't even considered the modcon, looks like I've got a lot of searching and researching to do.
I'd say probably out of your price range, put into gumtree what your price range is and go from there, no point spending time looking at stuff that is just going to end up out of your price range at the end of the day.
Theres a few soft floors in forsale section for around 3000.. maybe one of them as a temp fix until you save up for what you want.. and this way you get out there..
Ive found that what you start out thinking you want, and what actually works for you are 2 different things.
My advice would be to determine if you think you will do more base camping as opposed to moving along after a night or two. This will decide if you get a camper that unpacks and packs up quickly and easily. Obviously if you are moving a lot the effort in packing up is a BIG factor. We recently travelled with a couple that have a two year old FF camper that looks quite flash but is a heavy jigger to pack up. The couple aren't the fittest around and have decided to sell it as the wife is having real issues with the packing. She is very impressed with the unit apart from that, but can't cope.Don't forget that there are a lot of campers out there to hire these days, and would be a good way of test 'driving' it before you buy, and you get a fun weekend away as well.
Interesting you say that the FF is hard to pack up. The whole reason I moved from a soft floor Trackabout was I couldn't pack it up myself. My new (to me) Modcon FF is a dream to pack up. Literally 30 seconds by myself.
I'm looking at getting back into the camper trailer world.Previously had a 2015 Jayco Swan OB, which was set up nicely for us and went around Australia, including Cape York, Gulf, Lorella Springs, Gibb River Road etc. plus plenty of places around Tassie ...I'm interested in a hard floor camper with slide out kitchen and fridge box setup, plus a possible boat rack... ...below $10K (looking second hand) and would like to get back to Cape York and OTT etc.
I've got a 2002 softfloor rearfold - takes 5-10 minutes to set up, and I can do it myself (unless we put the awning up which adds about 5-10mins - it adds 8 poles and guy ropes). Its pullout, 6 pegs, and tighten two wing nuts on the arms, and its done. We just leave the annex attached and fold it over the roof if not using. Its really only a 2 person van but the kids are in swags these days. The annexe is only a roof with one side wall. Might not work for Tassie in the winter but it did us in NSW. Even better now we are in FNQ. The longest part is putting all the chairs etc back in.We bought it along on the 2015 PP GTG in Tassie, not sure if you'll remember it? I looked at the FF's which were new on the market back then, and they didn't really appeal. And their weight just seems nuts - mine is 800kg Tare. And they seemed to have less space. All the ones then had a lounge area which we wouldn't use. We are outside all the time when camping. We only sleep and get changed inside.

text: We moved from Chicago to Birmingham two years ago and did not know the marketplace, the area, or our time frame for buying. Shannon was great at showing us the various neighborhoods in the city, explaining the price of the homes and the marketplace, as well as showing an incredible amount of patience as we took 9 months to decide on the home we purchased. In the end, Shannon also saved us a significant amount of money with her suggestions on our offer. We would recommend her to anyone.

I've been doing this job for 12 years, so I'd like to think I'm fairly immune to the wacky EU tales from the more Eurosceptic sections of the British media, brought about by misunderstanding or mischief. But every so often something comes along that causes genuine alarm and I take umbrage to it. For instance, my office has recently received emails from good, decent folk who read a story in the press recently that says that holidaymakers in Greece risk being criminalised if they rescue a struggling migrant from the water.
Let me be absolutely clear on this. There is, categorically, no intention to criminalise the many decent people who have been modern-day Good Samaritans on the beaches of Greece – including my own colleague Humza Yousaf.
Published in iScot March 2016
The story is supposedly based on draft documents from the European Council (made up of the leaders of the EU member states) and leaked by Statewatch, a non-governmental organisation, or NGO. The documents discuss the high number of migrant casualties on European shores and the need for coordination between services to prevent and counter migrant smuggling. NGOs and charities have not been explicitly exempted, which at this early stage means the loophole hasn't been closed, not that this is the intent of a complex and sensitive package that hasn't even been released yet.
Personally, I believe the final version of these documents should explicitly acknowledge that some actions have a humanitarian reason and should never be prosecuted or treated as smuggling. But in the meantime, we need to acknowledge that migrant smuggling is a serious form of organised crime, and we should not use the terms 'migrant' and 'refugee' interchangeably.
To suggest that the EU – which has provided millions of euros in humanitarian assistance, including funding the aid convoy to Madaya, where thousands of Syrian civilians are starving, sick and under siege by President Assad – would put people in a position where they must stand on a beach and watch people drown, is not only completely inaccurate and contrary to the evidence seen so far, but also incredibly harmful.
But once a story is out there, it spreads. I've written to papers both local and national to set the story straight, sent comprehensive emails to concerned constituents, and I'm using this iScot article to clarify it. But a lie can be halfway around the world before the truth has got its boots on, especially when it comes to the EU.
Now, the EU isn't blameless in this. As I said in my last article, complex documents written by experts who only speak 'European Legalese' and then filtered through a media that doesn't have the resources/inclination to explain it are ripe for misunderstanding.
That's where your MEPs come in. We have access to the facts, the documents, and the inside knowledge that means we can explain the EU as clearly as possible, and we have a responsibility to do that. But we can only do it if our media, and indeed the readers and viewers, are willing to listen. It was instructive that the initial story in one of the Sunday papers did not include a single MEP comment - because we would have rubbished it.
So, please, if you hear a story about the EU and you think 'wait a minute, that doesn't sound right', get in touch. Sign up for my newsletters. I believe Scotland can lead the way in making the EU referendum a talking point, the same way we did in our independence referendum.
In the meantime, here are a few of my favourite EU horror stories, comprehensively debunked:
RUMOUR: EU wants to ban bingo callers from using phrases like 'two fat ladies!'
FACT: No, nothing to do with political correctness. There are style guides in different parts of the EU, e.g. the Commission's translation services, but they're for internal use, not our bingo halls.
RUMOUR: Brussels to ban mushy peas!
FACT: A Directive on colouring in food states that fresh and processed veg may not be coloured. However, an exemption was granted for 'processed mushy and garden peas.'
RUMOUR: EU pays jobless migrants to come to Britain!
FACT: The 'Your First EURES Job' mobility scheme supports young people aged 18-35 to find their first job, traineeship or apprenticeship within the EU (UK nationals included). Financial support is only provided if you're invited for an interview, with limited financial support as part of the relocation cost, provided you meet eligibility rules. It's a way of helping young unemployed people to work hard, not to import "jobless migrants".
RUMOUR: Fishing boats obliged to carry at least 200 condoms!
FACT: There is no Directive that mentions this. A certain number of medicines have to be kept aboard ships for the crew but a pack of glow in the dark Durex isn't one of them.
RUMOUR: Kilts to be classified as women's wear!
FACT: A questionnaire was reportedly sent to manufacturers requesting that kilts be listed as "women's apparel"… by the UK Office of National Statistics, not Eurostat, the EU's statistical branch.

Indian 8 Valve Board Track Racer
Reading time: less than a minute.
Of all the motorcycle genres that have ever existed I still come back to the board tracker whenever anyone asks which I think is the most beautiful. Sure they didn't have any brakes, suspension, seat padding, gauges or fenders but that's half the appeal. The styling is undeniably beautiful and those old v-twin steam punk engines just make me happy.

Government's problems with banks may still be massive
The Wall Street Journal has published an exclusive report looking at possible losses at small and medium-sized banks that could result from trouble in their real estate portfolios. The total of the red ink could hit $200 billion. That may leave the government holding another big bag of bank stock shares, if it decides, as it will, to prop these firms up.
According to the paper, "more than 600 small and midsize banks could see their capital shrink to levels that usually are considered worrisome by federal regulators." The paper used the same "stress test" measures to look at the smaller banks that the government used on larger ones.
The Treasury and taxpayers have been looking forward to the day when large banks will pay back their TARP obligations. This will put less government money at risk and increase the balance of the TARP in the event that the money is needed for another banking crisis. That crisis may be just around the corner, raising the question of whether the $115 billion, an estimate used by most analysts, still left in the TARP fund will be enough.
Now that several large American banks like Bank of America (BAC) and Citigroup (C) are healthy enough to raise capital, is the banking crisis ending? Probably not. The next tier of U.S. banks may be in a great deal of trouble.

A module covering ethical issues that arise in publishing research individually, collaboratively, and as a student in various fields.
Author(s): Caroline Whitbeck
Publication of research disseminates knowledge and stimulates its growth. In return, the author receives credit for the contribution. To encourage investigators to promptly share their discoveries, innovations, and ideas, the convention was established that the investigators who first submit a manuscript describing their work is given credit for it.
Competition among investigators has a long history. For example, the Seventeenth Century Isaac Newton especially wanted credit for being the first to make certain discoveries. He was particularly concerned that Leibniz would claim to have discovered the calculus first. Newton resorted to distributing his findings in anagrams (a reordering of the letters describing his discoveries into a new, usually nonsensical, string of words). When another person claimed the same discovery, Newton could unscramble his anagram to show that he discovered it first. While this may have helped Newton to secure credit for an idea, it failed to do anything to advance knowledge. Other scientists chose to wait until they felt they had the whole story and so could publish the definitive treatise on a subject. Of course, this desire for credit was another barrier to the dissemination of knowledge. In order to help harmonize the two goals of advancing knowledge and fairly apportioning credit, Henry Oldenberg, the secretary of the British Royal Society, offered researchers prompt publication of their work in the society's journal, together with a promise that the Society would stand behind the scientists' claims to be the first to discover the phenomena in question. Thus was born the convention that priority goes to the person who published first. That convention was modified to be go to the person who first submits the finding for publication. This modification helps ensure that a person does not lose credit because of a delay by reviewers or publishers.
Today, similar tension between the goals of contributing to the growth of scientific knowledge and gaining credit for work exists. Today, research is no longer the hobby of upperclass and independently wealthy men. Research is now understood as a socially important activity and worthy of public support. Judging who is worthy to receive public funding is greatly dependent on one's record of prior accomplishment. That record is largely a record of publication. Therefore, credit is not merely valued for its own sake, but it is something that even an investigator with little interest in fame often needs just to continue doing research. Disputes about credit are common not only between nations, or between rival laboratories (as they were historically), but also among members of the same laboratory, or even collaborators on the same research project. The fact that the pace of research is accelerating and the nature of research and research collaborations continually changing, has meant that agreement on expectations and conventions regarding credit have needed to be rethought. Scientific groups have turned to that task only recently. Now increasingly such groups develop guidelines on behavior that apply broadly and develop resources for investigators to identify where they need to examine practices and establish guidelines that are workable in the particular fields in which they work.
This module informs users about recent guidelines and helps groups to develop agreement on more specific field-specific and institution-specific means to adhere to those guidelines and amicably work out differences. Ethical norms governing responsible authorship, fair credit in research, and field-dependent conventions, and guidelines from particular journals as to authors' obligations. For the related topic of the responsibilities of editors and of reviewers of articles and grant proposals look here.

If your research is related to biomedicine, or if you want to refer to the most detailed of the current authoritative guides on authorship practices, it is useful to read the following brief sections of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors' "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals" This statement was published in 1997 in the New England Journal of Medicine 336: 309-315, and was updated May 2000.
If you are in the physical sciences or engineering, it may be more useful to read:
Authorship between graduate students or post-doctoral trainees and their research supervisors in the laboratory sciences is addressed in Carl Djerassi's novel Cantor's Dilemma. Here are a few quotations from that work.

Bailar, Marcia Angell, Sharon Boots, Karl Heumann, Melanie Miller, Evelyn Myers, Nancy Palmer, Sidney Weinhouse, and Patricia Woolf). 1990. Ethics and Policy in Scientific Publication. Bethesda, Maryland: Council of Biology Editors, Inc. This volume contains descriptions of ethical problems and abuses that arise or are discovered in the process of publishing scientific research, together with the results of an empirical study of the frequency with which scientific journal editors encounter them. Topics include redundant publication, data-dredging, conflicts of interest, withdrawal of an accepted paper, prior publication in a "throwaway" journal, prior publication in a non-English journal, disputes over authorship. Note that the Council of Biology Editors has now become the Council of Science Editors.

The article argues that name of a prestigious person as author tends to enhance the visibility of a publication and perceived legitimacy of its findings, so others are likely to seek collaboration or at least co-authorship with such people, but the credit tends to then go to the well-known person.

Sometimes, it's the small details. It's the little moments that add up to something that's unforgettable.
This photo from Tyler's wish is a glimpse into one of those moments. And it's exactly the sort of thing Southwest Airlines does so well for wish kids – they figure out how they can elevate wishes, from decorating the gates to announcing wish kids in-flight. (And let's not forget the ticket vouchers Southwest donates to get wish kids to their destinations.)
Imagine what this is like for a 4-year-old boy with a heart condition. People Tyler doesn't even know are making his day incredible in unexpected ways. Many of us at Make-A-Wish have seen Southwest Airlines employees in action during a wish – and their genuine, spontaneous enthusiasm is hard to match.
It's right here in this photo … a pilot took a few extra moments for a wish kid. And both of their lives are better for it.
Wish Nation gives you a behind-the-scenes look at Make-A-Wish®. See how wishes come together and how they change lives forever. Hear directly from those who work or volunteer here, or those who have been transformed by a wish. And learn why we are so committed to someday granting the wish of every eligible child, every year.We want to hear from you.We moderate our communities by only one rule: Be nice.

Travel Tips for Las Vegas
Does anyone has interesting ideas of what to do in Las Vegas? I am going to be there in mid-August. Thanks.
4 Answers
Walk, walk, walk!!! The hotels are your main attractions ...every hotel has something special happening. Bellagio fountains are amazing, watch the volcano erupt at the Mirage, watch the pirate show at Treasure Island...shopping in every hotel & an outlet mall at either end of the strip. A must see Is Freemont Street located down in the older section of town...it's amazing
The shows are awesome too about 8 years agoAnswered by Lori Paterson via Ask a Nomad iPad app
Depending on how long you're going and how much you want to spend, renting a car and going to the Hoover Dam is cool and only about an hour from the strip.
The Grand Canyon is about 4-5 hours away. about 8 years agoAnswered by iPadNomads via Ask a Nomad iPad app
Yes, i visited this place and like to suggest you to go as soon as possible. Because when i was there in the month of April, i played the world series of poker and enjoyed a lot. I'll force you to go in month of April instead of August. Best travel experience to Las Vegas.
http://www.joguru.com/las-vegas-united-states/addas over 7 years agoAnswered by Ashley Jiles via Travellr.com
Further to Lori's reply, you will also need to stop in evey hotel and outlet since you are going in August. I have been there then and tt is hot, hot, hot then. And don't let people tell you that it is ok because it is a "dry heat". At average temps of 115-120 degrees, hot is hot. I usually try to go during the 4th quarter of the year, when the weather is more comfortable.
As for iPadNomad's reply, the Hoover Dam/Lake Mead and the Grand Canyon are great places to visit. That said, there are coach tours to them. You don't necessarily need a rental car.
Other places to vist could be the Pinball Hall of Fame. They have a ton of pinball machines from all eras that you can play. They are anywhere from $0.25 to $0.75, depending on age of the game. Its a great way to spend a few hours. Easy to get to via the bus. A few blocks off the Strip. over 7 years agoAnswered by Scott B. via Travellr.com

Wise toothbrush
Modern toothbrushes often have bristles that change colour as the brush
wears. When the brushes are made, the bristles are soaked in dye, which wears
off during brushing. But the dye also dissolves if the brush is left in
Wisdom Toothbrushes of Haverhill, Suffolk, is claiming patent rights (GB 2
323 026) on bristles that have a nylon core of one colour, and a colourless
outer surface of water-resistant biodegradable material. The outer layer
disintegrates during brushing because friction breaks the polymer chains to
expose the inner core. The dye then wears off on the inner core. Soaking the
brush in water does not affect the colour.

Symposium on Spatial User Interaction
ACM SUI is the premier venue for presenting research in the design and use of technologies that focus on the challenges that users face when interacting with the volumetric, 3D space we live in. This considers both spatial input and output, with an emphasis on the issues around interaction between humans and systems.
Due to the advances in 3D technologies, spatial interaction is now more relevant than ever. New forms of input and output, such finger and body tracking technologies and head-worn displays are now easily available and more and more commercial 3D systems with spatial interaction capabilities emerge. The goal of the symposium is to provide an intensive exchange between industrial and academic researchers working in this area and to foster discussions among participants.

We answer this question first of all with the sentence:
Everything is not always as it seems ;-).
If you know how the prices are usually composed in the market, then you can see that the prices at verway.tools are very fair.
As a rule, it is customary on the market for all the points listed below to be taken into account in each individual print medium.
This means, for example, that if you order 3-5 different flyers/prospectus containers in one order, you pay these costs 3-5 times, even though they are incurred once.
VERWAY.tools says it only charges 1x per shipment.
The print media are offered at the pure printing costs. All other natural fees will be charged only 1x per shipment.
In the dispatch these achievements are computed once only:
- Labeling
- Picking
- Logistics
- Packing
- Staff
- Material
- Service
- Website
- Postage
Since you are an entrepreneur and usually place larger orders at the same time, it was decided to implement this in this fair way.

Introduce OutboundExitAddress to enable exit-only traffic to go via a different IP address
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Tor: 0.3.0.x-final
|Core Tor/Tor
|lorax, yawning, isaremoved
|Actual Points:
|Parent ID:
There are use cases of Tor where the inbound IP address of the Tor Relay is not the Tor Relay traffic, that's managed trough the use of OutBoundBindAddress directive.
However in multi-homed environments, it could provide much more flexibility to be able to specify a specific IP address to be used only for Tor Exit Traffic, with a directive that could be "OutboundExitAddress" .
With such an approach a family of Tor Nodes, handling inbound/outbound OR traffic, could implement custom routing architecture only for Tor Exit traffic (that's the one generating abuses), by tunnelling it across more "abuse resilient servers" .
If the assumption that 66.66% of traffic is non-exit OR traffic (i'm dividing by 3), then only 33.33% would go trough a more resilient "Exit Gateway" that could also not be at all a Tor Relay.
If such information would stay in the Consensus, it would be possible to map which Tor Relay is explicitly doing that kind "asymmetric routing" vs. who's doing it "implicitly" (and thus, it maybe a pattern of suspicious activity) .

- Changes file should mention the ticket number.
- Commit message should mention the author.
- parse_outbound_addresses has gotten really complicated, and full of duplicate code. Maybe it's possible to refactor it to be cleaner? This "adr_found[i]" stuff is fairly inelegant.
- Would it make more sense to have the syntax be "OutboundBindAddress Exit 188.8.131.52" ?
- conn_get_outbound_address falls back to the Exit address when the OR address is null. That doesn't make sense to me. Why did the user say OutboundBindAddressExit if they meant OutboundBindAddress?
- Other outbound connection types are possible. For example, directory connections, DNS lookups, and local connections to hidden services. Should those get handled too? Should they get treated as if they were exit?

I would say:
Directory -> OR
DNS -> Exit
HS (non-localhost) -> Exit????
comment:13 Changed 4 years ago by
- parse_outbound_address is complicated, because it is complex. All cases are different. There is the (old) general option affecting both OR and exit traffic, as well as the separation between IPv4 and IPv6 and the random sequence any of these options may appear. Therefore I don't think factoring out is really going to be useful (e.g. checking for no duplicate settings and providing helpful error messages while checking for one/two conflicting options). The "adr_found" array could be changed to a two-dimensional array with constants as index (OR, EXIT; IPv4, IPv6) - this would render it extensions easier.
- conn_get_outbound_address falls back to the exit address if OR is null, because the user explicitly specified something, so this should be honored (better something than nothing). But it can also be left to the default address.
- Other outbound connection types: the following seem to exist:
#define CONN_TYPE_OR_LISTENER 3
#define CONN_TYPE_OR 4
These are relay connections, so should not be sent over the "exit" interface
#define CONN_TYPE_EXIT 5
Actual exit connection, should use the "exit" interface
#define CONN_TYPE_AP_LISTENER 6
#define CONN_TYPE_AP 7
Socks proxy connections. This is "input" and should therefore not use the "exit" interface.
#define CONN_TYPE_DIR_LISTENER 8
#define CONN_TYPE_DIR 9
Directory server, i.e. internal communication going into this or another node. It should not use the "exit" interface.
#define CONN_TYPE_CONTROL_LISTENER 11
#define CONN_TYPE_CONTROL 12
Connection to a user interface - should be locally only and is definitely not "exit" traffic.
#define CONN_TYPE_AP_TRANS_LISTENER 13
#define CONN_TYPE_AP_NATD_LISTENER 14
Traffic redirected into tor, so incoming connections and should not use the "exit" interface.
#define CONN_TYPE_AP_DNS_LISTENER 15
Listen for DNS requests from clients; like SOCKS so no exit traffic.
#define CONN_TYPE_EXT_OR 16
#define CONN_TYPE_EXT_OR_LISTENER 17
Relay connections, should not be sent over the "exit" interface
- DNS request nameservers seem to be configured in or/dns.c:1355 (configure_nameservers). However, in my configuration I could not find any position where HAVE_EVDNS_SET_DEFAULT_OUTGOING_BIND_ADDRESS is set/defined (remnant of old library?). Generally: DNS requests are problematic. The local host or some internal server might be used for DNS resolving. Then another option for configuring DNS would be necessary, as these may not be reachable from the "exit" interface.

Code review (reading only, not patching or running):
Thanks, this is getting better, I think we are almost there!
parsing addresses:
- the way this code turns OutboundBindAddress into OutboundBindAddressOR and OutboundBindAddressExit means that when the options are written out (for example, by a SETCONF), the torrc will change. We avoid changing the user's torrc.
- please turn verify_and_store_address into a setter function which take a family and an enum for Exit/OR/Both, and then get/set options->OutboundBindAddress{OR,Exit,}IPv{4,6}_. It would really simplify parse_outbound_addresses.
- this would also fix the use of hard-coded constants when passing adrCount to verify_and_store_address, and avoid the bug-prone pointer twiddling
- once you have this abstraction, you can parse each group of lines using the same function: it takes lines, a family, and an enum for Exit/OR/Both.
- please don't fall back from OutboundBindAddressExit to OutboundBindAddressOR, it's confusing and undocumented. Multihomed relays might have good reasons to use a particular IP for their OR connections, but allow Exit traffic to use the best route for the destination IP.
- Update the man page: s/This option cannot be used together with OutboundBindAddress, unless they specify a different protocol./This option overrides OutboundBindAddress for the same IP version./
- configure_nameservers should use conn_get_outbound_address
- this list of addresses is used to block all addresses on the local machine. It must include both the OR and Exit addresses.
- address families are typically
sa_family_t familyin tor
- please put a newline at the end of the changes file
const intis somewhat redundant, we typically only use const on pointers, and on variables in functions

New patch version against current master:
Now the new options override the general option as requested - this allows configuring something not actually used without any error, e.g. OutboundBindAddress 10.1.1.1 and both OutboundBindAddressOR and -Exit with different values.
comment:19 Changed 4 years ago by

Good progress. I like the array usage. Some more comments:
- Reserving the symbols "EXIT, OR, EXIT_AND_OR, OUTBOUND_MAX" globally seems problematic. They should probably get a prefix.
- AF_MAX can be pretty big on some systems, but we're only using two address families here. That seems kind of wasteful.
- The memset of " sizeof(tor_addr_t)*OUTBOUND_MAX*AF_MAX" seems fragile. Probably better to use "sizeof(options->OutboundBindAddresses)" instead so that it can't get out-of-sync with the actual array bounds.
- The function names "verify_and_store_address" and "parse_address_lines" should probably make it clear that they are for outbound*address lines. Otherwise, it gets confusing.
Teor, any other notes here?

Okay, merged that. I fixed a warning, and made the logic of conn_get_outbound_address a little more resilient to non-AF_INET{,6} addresses.

Men's Qualifying Finals
The first players to book their spots in the main draw at the O2 were Scotland's Alan Clyne and England's Chris Simpson, with contrasting straight-game wins over Siddarth Suchde and Zac Alexander. Clyne was always in control against Siddarth Suchde, and so generally was Simpson against Zac Alexander, but the Aussie took longer to subdue, falling just short in a third-game comeback from 9/4 down to lose it 12/10.
Two 'local derbies' followed as Jonathan Kemp blazed a winning trail past Robbie Temple to add to the English contingent in the main draw, while Marwan El Shorbagy met Mohamed Abouelgar in an all-Egyptian junior clash that went all the way.
El Shorbagy went 2-0 up with Abouelghar making too many errors, but he cut those out, levelled the match and was firing in some lovely winners to go 8/4 up in the decider. Marwan fought back though, and took in 11/9 to survive another day and join his brother in the main draw at the O2.
Next onto court – after a mid-schedule gap – were Frenchman Mathieu Castagnet and Malaysia's Nafiizwan Adnan. Just short of two hours later they came off, Castagnet having won a mammoth encounter 12/10 in the fifth. "He seems to have a propensity for long five-setters," said one observer.
Hong Kong's Max Lee and Aussie Ryan Cuskelly took the next two main draw spots, both coming from a game down to win in 67 minutes, against Amr Khaled Khalifa and Abdullah Al Mezayen respectively, and both were delighted.
"It was not my best ever performance," said Lee, "but I'm so happy to win, so happy to score those 6 points in a row to win the match. It's my first British Open, I hope I can keep the momentum going, keep the body, the performance going."
The final match of the night was another long five-setter which saw young Frenchman Greg Marche join Castagnet in the main draw after a 100-minute upset victory over Egypt's qualifying second seed Karim Abdel Gawad.
The final match of the night was another long five-setter which saw young Frenchman Greg Marche join Castagnet in the main draw after a 100-minute upset victory over Egypt's Karim Abdel Gawad. "
At last a five-setter that I win," said a delighted Marche, who now plays LJ Anjema on Tuesday while Castagnet faces a meeting with Mohamed El Shorbagy on Monday.
Women's Qualifying Round One
The women's qualifying first round started with two contrasting wins for Sam Cornett and Line Hansen – Cornett easing through 3/0 against Julia Lecoq while Hansen had to battle back from a game and points down to beat Birgit Coufal 3/1 in just over an hour.
Lauren Briggs made quick work of her win against fellow-Englishwoman Victoria Temple-Murray, while Maud Duplomb opened the French account with an hour-long five-setter against Aussie Melody Francis.
Fresh from helping India to a first-ever Asian team title, Joshna Chinappa continued her winning ways against Olga Ertlova, although it was far from easy for the Indian. She'll meet Heba El Torky tomorrow after the Egyptian eased past Cyrielle Peltier in straight games.
Emily Whitlock, the reigning European Junior Champion, comfortably beat her predecessor Carrie Ramsey in another all-England matchup, while her next opponent, Maria Toor Pakay, was taking twice as long to come from 2-1 down to beat Lucie Fialova in a hard-fought, often contentious match.
More French success came when Coline Aumard beat Kanzy El Dafrawy 3/1 in a match that was as much a battle of wills as anything, to set up a qualifying final against South African Siyoli Waters who ended the run of pre-qualifier Georgie Ingham in the shortest match of the day.
British Open veteran Latasha Khan took over an hour to see off the challenge of young Welsh wizard Tesni Evans 3/1, and now meets Kiwi Kylie Lindsay who beat the last remaining pre-qualifier Harriet Ingham 3/1.
Laura Pomportes kept the French bandwagon rolling, 2/1 up against Lauren Selby who was forced to retire injured, to set up a meeting with Switzerland's Gaby Huber, and the qualifying finals were rounded off as Sarah-Jane Perry and second seed Aisling Blake won the final matches of the day.[hr]

Framboise reports …
No offence to Sid, but I don't think he was able today to put Alan out of his comfort zone. The rallies were very long, and disputed, veryyy long indeed, hard work was being done on there by both, but I couldn't feel the urgency in the Indian's game, I couldn't see where he wanted to take Alan. Making the rallies last longer is maybe not in my humble view the way to destabilise young Clyne. Twist and turn probably more like.
But hey, easy writing from a keyboard, ain't it. Still, Alan's game is changing, he is more disciplined, and I would say secure in his game. Only little technical thing, his backhand drop shot maybe could be a bit tighter, a bit less high, but again, it's only my humble opinion… And there is nothing wrong with his movement, my lord!!!!
"I felt I played well today, I never felt really under pressure, even in the second, when he picked the pace up, I was able to adapt rather well.
"We've been playing a lot recently, Europeans and all, and before that, I had a very hard few weeks of training with Roger Flynn in Edinburgh, the best place in Scotland!!! We've been working on my accuracy, playing tighter and straighter. And it worked, especially yesterday, playing straight has been improving my game."
Alan Clyne
Bless parents little heart, I think they are more nervous than the kid playing on court! It was the case for Chris Simpson's dad, whose hand was still shaking a few minutes after his son would get to the main draw of the British Open for the first time.
Well, it's just that Chris has a few – to say it lightly – trouble with his health and body – and that this qualification for the BO is such a big relief/overdue the Simpsons' feel probably.
I felt that Zac was never allowed to feel at ease on there today. That he never was allowed to play his attacking game, and just couldn't impose his fast pace, as Chris' accuracy and composure was in place today.
A few too many errors for the Australian, seven for the third only. And yet, it is in that last game that he was the most threatening, as he pushed back from 8/4 down to 8/8, a bit of frustration with his opponent movement, a few lets (very few indeed up to there), and it could have gone either way really, 8/8, 9/9, 10/10.
A no let and a backhand drop shot later – the shot that really got Chris most of his points during this match – Chris was clinching his fist….
Yes, I'm happy, you can always be happier, that third game should have been easier, but that's being a perfectionist.
It's funny, today was "hit ball" against "soft ball", he wanted to play past and hit hard, and I wanted to keep is slow. The only way I was able to prevent him from severe hitting was to keep it very accurate and tight to the wall.
So this season, it's 1/1, he beat me 3/2 in Virginia back in March…
Yes, I was "unlucky" with injuries for a few years. You know, I've come to realise that there are two main things, fitness and health. And people talk about being "unlucky with injuries". But I now realise that luck has not much to do with it that people may think. You think you are being a professional, but really. For the past nine months, I've been feeling really good. And that's the time I really got very careful with the way I eat, the way I think about my health. Look at James, look at Thierry. Is it luck that Thierry is still playing at 36? It's not.
There are too many people I want to thank today, I don't want to single one out. So many people to thank…
Chris Simpson
On paper, this match seemed straightforward. Marwan beat his best mate Abouelgar in the last two finals they played, the BJO and the World Juniors. And he has also more experience on the tour recently. But the exams factor was rather important, fitness wise obviously.
First two games were all about Marwan, in control, imposing a mid pace that he felt rather comfy with. All went according to plan up to 5/3 in the third, where at last, Abouelgar stopped the numerous unforced errors, 5 in each game, to speed up the rhythm, forcing his opponent to run out of steam and make a few unforced errors himself.
Abouelgar came back, 2 games to 1. Then 2/2 all. And honestly, Marwan looked very tired indeed. And in the decider, Abouelgar looked completely flying out there, winners flying around, fast pace, Marwan twisted and turned all over the place.
But experience came into it. At 8/4 down, Marwan kept his calm, slowed it down, became more assertive and stepped up the court. Two errors from Abouelgar, a few long rallies that Marwan wins only just, giving him a bit of confidence back, and making Abouelgar doubt just enough.
Stunning rallies after stunning rallies, we arrive at match ball, 10/9 Marwan. Another stupendous rally, and a ball that seems not up two shots before the end I'm told (I was actually writing a comment!!!!!). Marwan says it's good, the refs say it's good. But a lot of people in the crowd saw it double bounce.
When I ask Marwan about it right after the match, mentioning the fact that a lot of people saw it double, he simply said "people didn't play that shot, I did, and it was good". That will do for me then.
"Frankly, I have no idea how I won that match. In the 5th, he was so much in control, he was firing nicks from everywhere. And although I knew where the shots were going to go, no chance I could pick them up.
"This was such a difficult time for me, I've been doing my exams for about a month now, but I spoke with my brother earlier, and he told me to be positive, and not think that I couldn't play five games, because I would be tired thinking that I was tired!! And I did play five games, like he said I could.
"I'm so happy to survive another day. My aim for this event was to reach the main draw, it's my first ever British Open senior, I have no pressure now, I hope I can play a few matches more, but not against my brother obviously…."
Marwan El Shorbagy
"And I don't want people to say that I'm a two hours man, that's all lies"… smiled Mathieu Castagnet as he rested in his seat after the match.
That was so far the best match of the tournament. And I'm not sure how Mathieu survived the 4th, I thought he'd lost that one and the match. This is from far Wan's best performance I came to see. What an player he has become. What accuracy, variation of pace, angle, shots.. Beng Hee must have taught him the "BengyLob", as he now masters that underrated shot to perfection. I guess that like Maud a bit earlier, Mathieu run, run, run, and then he won. But of course, there is so much more than that.
A few too many errors for the Malaysian, I counted 26, for 9 to Mathieu. That makes a big difference in the end. A few calls as well, that went the Frenchman's way, normally, you lose some and you win some, but I feel that Wan got the short straw on that one.
Then again, you can't reproach Wan his errors, as he has now become a true attacker, and you've got to take the bad with the good. And good, there was plenty, people. Plenty. And it's true that this match was a bit on the long side (thank GOD we were on the glass court!), but it was ridiculous squash so often, long disputed, hard rallies, so intense, so fair. Wan looked tired from the end of the first game. But he did alright really.
You only have to look at the score line to realise the battle those two had tonight. Shame a winner was required. Luck on Mathieu's side in the end….
"First thing first. I cannot stress enough how extraordinary Wan is. I don't think I ever played somebody as nice, respectful and fair as he is. That's the kind of matches one wants to play, win or lose, and that is good for squash image.
And he was so nice, so fair, I'm disappointed in myself to have lost my calm toward the ref at the end of the 3rd, it was just frustration, but still, it was such a great match, I wish I hadn't. And although the match was pretty long (8 m short of 2h!!!), there was not that many decision I feel.
Honestly, I would say that he deserves the victory more than I did. He is so powerful, he attacks so well with some remarkable short volley or drop shots, and if you put it in front , he is so fast on it, he can attack from there too. I personally don't have the talent to play that kind of short attacking game….
At 10/8 in the 5th, I suddenly was taken back to my match against Tom Richards, that I lost from the same position. And when I tinned that simple volley drop shot, I thought, no, not again. Please not again. And I kept thinking, two points, only two points.
But then, he went for the same kind of shot on the other side, and tinned it as well, just clipped it. Then he does a simple boast, and makes the error again, that was such a gift, a bit like if I had been given a child…
Again, I can only stress how great player he is, that he is now threatening the top 20, and I could see why tonight.
"On s'en est mis une bonne"…
Mathieu Castagnet
"I didn't play my best squash today, especially on the forehand front corner, my wrist just wouldn't steady, and I didn't feel that comfortable, always had the impression I was going to hit the tin.
And his accuracy was so good, he kept it tight, pinned me to the back wall….
In the fourth, when I find myself 10/5 game ball down, I told myself, win or lose, just keep pushing, because I could see he was tired. And every point, I really gave it my 100%. I was lucky to get 6 points in a row, 11/10.
It was not my best ever performance, but I'm so happy to win, so happy to score those 6 points in a row… It's my first British Open, I hope I can keep the momentum going, keep the body, the performance going…
Max Lee
Mathieu, 112. Acrobat Greg, 100. We just finished and it's 11.30pm. I vote for the French to be excluded from the PSA events… Anybody seconding me????
Joke apart, this was another cracker of a match, and if I'm honest, I think that Karim was probably the better player squash wise tonight. His talent is immense, he is able not only to play perfect length, but his short game is Shabana like, and like him, he reads the game so well, unabling him to take the ball extremely early and keeping his opponent under pressure at all times.
Little Greg, well, was not as accurate tonight. He was fast, he was hitting hard, and retrieving a heck of a lot, but he won I feel on his mental and physical strength. He weathered the Karim storm beautifully, thanked him for the few unforced errors he did at the right time. I'm not sure many players would have been able to beat Karim tonight, as his squash was really out of this world.
The match was a classic really, we had it alllast match, late night, , the bleeding in the 4th when it's past 11pm and you think, no, please no, not the bleeding… And the fifth, nothing between the players, first Greg that gets a drop in energy at 3/3, Karim going up 6/3. Then Karim's turn, 6/6. 7/7. 8/8.. And the Frenchman that find the right shots at the perfect time, with an Egyptian that finally cannot run anymore, but still tries.
This was such a beautiful game, such a shame we were about 10 to see it.
At last a 5th that I win… Of course, the physical side helped me, I was there, but I feel it was all about the mental tonight. He is such a talented played, his touch at the front is just incredible…
I had to be accurate at the back to control him, but I just couldn't stand and do nothing at the front, but I didn't have that confidence enough, and kept making length and width approximation.
The most difficult was each end of game, there were all so close. And at 8/8 in the 5th, I told myself well, that's moments like that you will go to the next step, that I had to be as solid as possible, and believe it or not, I told myself that I had to enjoy my game, to enjoy the moment, and it worked, it relaxed me a little bit, just enough…
Greg Marche
Phillipe on the French
French national women's coach Phillipe Signoret had a busy morning, with 'his' girls featuring in each of the first three pairs of matches, with more to come …
Sam defended well against Julia, she put her game well in place. Julia didn't really control the ball, she was attacking too soon and made too many errors in the first game. The second showed a more patient French girl, rallies got longer, but it's still her that made the error.
"I knew I was going to have to be moving a lot, because that's the way I've got to play and feel comfortable. When I try and finish the points too quickly, it normally backfires on me. And I had to be really accurate, as she would kill anything loose.
"We just finished the Canadian Nationals, I finished second, Miranda chopped me in the final 3/0, she played amazing. I had a good three weeks training with Neil Harvey, in Halifax, where my parents live, and normally, I train in Toronto with Jaymie Haycocks. I've been working on two things mainly, my fitness for sure, and also my concentration. And I saw the result today, I'm normally a bit of a roller coaster, so it was pretty big for me to keep my concentration all the way through."
Sam Cornett
Maud run, run, run and run again, and at the end, she won, as usual!
Cyrielle played two good "half games", kept with the pace and rhythm, but every time, run out of steam at the end of the games…. Not sure if it's a question of physical endurance and mental one.
The first game was the best one for both Coline and Kanzy, but after that, they both got a bit more tense, a few more errors, a bit more stop and start. But it's Coline who kept her calm the best today.
In the 4th and last, I'm down 7/2, and managed to win it 11/7. So happy that I kept my calm, despite the stops during the game, the lets. I know Kanzy's game rather well, and I'm really happy to get a win, it's probably my best ever performance ranking wise, even if it was not my best match…
I've worked terribly hard on my technique with Philippe which then allowed me to put in place a tactical plan, and to know clearly in my head what I was supposed to do. Then with Fred, my physical coach, we worked a lot on my fitness, but maybe the most important, I've been working for years with my mental coach…
As he says " Coline is a work in progress, it may be a bit long, but she'll get there". And I did. And because I sorted my personal demons, it then allowed me to put my game in place, because I have sorted the mental side of things, I now control my emotions better, even if there are still a few hiccups along the way….

Need A Roof Installation Agoura Hills?
I know the common question people ask themselves is, "if it isn't broke why fix it?". When it comes to roofs, I have the answer to that question. If you wait until your roof starts leaking, you will end up paying a lot more for your new roof installation Agoura Hills, than if you take preventative measures and get a new roof. Now instead of simply replacing a loose board now, you have you replace the entire roof later.
I understand you don't always know when it is time for your roof to be maintenance or replaced, here are some tips to so you do:
- The average shelf-life of an asphalt shingled roof, if installed properly with great materials, is around 20-25 years. There are some variables that my affect how long it last, for example, the number of singles and proper ventilation. We recommend you get a roof inspection. Get your inspection with us residential Roof Installation Agoura Hills.
- When you go outside and look up at your roof, are the shingle lines still straight or can you see differences in the level of the shingles on your roof? If you answered yes it is time to call residential Roof Installation Agoura Hills. A hanging shingle indicates there might be sheathing underneath and or possibly rotting. You need to have your roof some maintenance or get a brand new residential roof installation Agoura Hills
- Now look at the valleys, these are the most significant part of your roof because it's is where snow and rain are caught and lead to the gutters. When you clean you gutters twice a year, do you find asphalt granules in the gutter? That could mean there is breakdown of the asphalt shingles.
- As the shingles on your roof get older, they begin to decline and disappear. When you look at your roof, are there any shingles missing? Are they deformed in anyway? If yes, call us Roof Installation Agoura Hills, and we will come right out and repair or replace your roof shingles.
- If your roof has a chimney, they can become a potential soft zone. They need long-term water-tight fitting like metal flashing.
- One night, after or during a perfect storm with a good hard rain, go up to the attic. Look for evidence of leaks or moisture. Check if any you can see beams of daylight streaming through the roof boards as well.
Roof Installation vs Repair
When you go price checking for a new roof installation Agoura Hills, you must decide whether to have the old roof stripped to the decking, or cover the existing roof with a new layer of shingles. With this in mind the price differential will be substantial. We have found that 1/4th of homeowners save more with just simply reroofing instead of a complete tear off. However, is that a good choice?
It has been debated by roofers on whether the answer is yes or no. the point that some roofers try to make is that you won't be able to find the water damage on the plywood sheathing where soft spots are found that need repair. Without stripping the roof, some roofers believe this damage would not otherwise appear.
Another thing that concerns roofers about adding another layer is, the asphalt shingles are heavy, adding additional weight to the structure in addition to high snowfall for cities like Agoura Hills or rainfall for cities like Agoura Hills could be too much for the structure to bare properly. On the other hand, the National Roofing Contractors Association and the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturer's Association both approve reroofing as a general practice when it is permitted by local building codes. The roofers that doe work of this nature say, that adding a second layer can be an acceptable option, but, even they caution that reroofing can be the more difficult option. This can definitely be the case if installing flashing around chimneys and other potential points of water entry. Therefore the job needs to be done by an experienced reroofing roof installation specialist.
What things to consider when making the choice between reroofing and tear-off.
- The slope of the roof has uplift to horizontal run ratio of 4:12 feet maybe more in areas of more snowfall.
- The roof that is currently in place needs to be in good condition, and needs to be made from materials that can be reroofed
- It is best when you can visually inspect the underlying structure of the roof from the attic and it is not blocked by insulation or drywall.
More on Roof Installation Agoura Hills
Another precaution roofers warn homeowners about is that reroofing requires shingle installation techniques that differ from the normal methods. One example being, during an overlay, shingles is hand-nailed in close clusters. On the other hand, with new installations shingles are applied in rows using a nail gun.
The weakest point in all new roofs is around the chimneys and other protrusions, as well as where the two slopes meet in the valleys of your roof. When roofers add a second layer of shingles, they must get down to the flashing and decide whether to replace it or tie into it. For a roofer to make the right decision he must first be experienced and skilled at reroofing.
Ultimately, the decision is up to you, the homeowner, to decide what type of roof installation is best for you.
- Types of roofing In most cases asphalt shingles are usually the most common and least expensive roofing material, but residential roofs can be constructed with tile, wood, slate and metal as well.
- Venting a roof Just as the rest of your home needs to have the ability to breathe, so does your roof. Meaning, there needs to be a sense a balance between the air intake at the sofits and the air exhaust near the ridge of the roof.
- There can be serious consequences for lack of proper roof ventilation. For example, if your roof gets too hot on a summer day, the shingles on your roof can dry out and delaminate, or get blown away by a strong wind after becoming brittle. Another example of the consequences of poor roof ventilation is the presence of condensation in the attic, which can lead to mold on the underside of the roof.
- The U.S. Federal Housing Administration or the FHA recommends homeowners have at minimum 1 sq. ft. of attic ventilation for every 300 sq. ft. of attic space. In short, if your attic is 1,200 sq. ft. you need at least 4 feet of ventilation.
- Hiring a roofer One of the single most important investment a homeowner makes is installing a new roof but if installed properly with the right materials, it is an investment that could last 20-30 years. Be careful where there are truthful, experienced roofers, there are crooked and untrustworthy ones as well. On Angie's list, roofing is the most frequently researched professions.
When hiring a roofer you should follow some of these helpful tips to get the most bangs for your buck:
- Ask for proof of licensing, workers compensation and liability insurance from the intended contractor. Try and copy the license number and verify with your state or local trade license board.
- Ask for references and follow up with calling them. If hesitation is seen on the part of the contractor to give them up, there is reason for suspicion.
- Be cautious of door to door salesman offering deals and services.
Is Your Roof Insured and Under Warranty
You need to know that if something happens to your roof, you are covered under your personal homeowner's insurance policy. You should also know what your roofing warranties cover and under what circumstances. In most cases, homeowner's insurance policies do not cover roof damage. There's only one way to be sure, and that is to ask your homeowner's insurance rep and evaluate the fine print on your policy for any exclusions.
