In Defense of Daydreaming
Rather than mere mental detachment, constructive mind wandering is an act of expansion, a celebration of the incredible elasticity of imagination. Yet like any effort to stretch our personal boundaries, it can take a bit of training. In this sense, mind wandering is a form of calisthenics for when a writer is later called to produce self-generated imagery, dialogue, and detail in order to capture intended emotion or build a believable setting.
The Sorcery of Mentoring
Of the many crude metaphors used to visualize the struggle to create story I like to imagine the writer in a castle surrounded by statues (characters), staring into high-ceiling rooms (scenes), listening to voices (dialogue) echoing off stone walls. It's the writer's loaded dreamworld. The full story is there, in that castle, and all the writer must do is simply bring it out and into our existence. But always, waiting on the other side of the door, hovering above the draw bridge is the dragon. The dragon represents many barriers for the writer (fear, procrastination), but mostly the beast guards against execution. Can the writer slip their story past the dragon without it getting severely singed, or worse, having draft after draft consumed, turned to ashes? How does the writer re-create their story as clearly as they see and feel it for their readers?
Literary Roundup: Gabriel García Márquez, Editing Techniques from Film, a Writerly Board Game, and the Bookternet
Here is today's roundup: An appreciation for Gabriel García Márquez, literary counterparts to film editing techniques, a writerly board game, and how online tools enable collaboration in the literary community.
Giving Voice to the Sacred
In the past weeks, the Loft and the Minneapolis Institute of Arts (MIA) have rolled out several collaborative events surrounding the MIA exhibit on the Sacred. From the first I heard of this Loft-MIA partnership, I knew I wanted in. I knew because these are the questions that I return to in my writing, day after day and year after year: What is sacred? How can I best define, describe and honor the sacred in the words I put to the page?
Reading Like a Writer: Amelia Gray's Threats and Avoiding Cliché through the Fabulous
Amelia Gray's Threats chronicles the horrific reaction that David, an eccentric ex-dentist, has to the sudden, mysterious death of his wife. The entire novel is peculiar and fantastic. But it's David's first experience of shock that I want to examine.
Spring Is for Spoken Word
April is National Poetry Month, and just as the temperatures are warming up, so too are the opportunities to celebrate spoken word. Whether you're a practicing poet or someone who harbors a budding interest in line breaks, now is the perfect time to explore the art. The Loft's own Lewis Mundt agreed to share his insight as a spoken word artist and producer of the Minneapolis New Sh!t Show, in which all new work is perfomed on stage for the first time.
publish.me: Why Go to a Writers' Conference?
One of my favorite things every school year, from 1st through 5th grade, was the annual "Read In." Instead of classes, our only responsibility was to bring books, snacks, a sleeping bag and pillow, and a willingness to read with our peers all day at school. No tests, no essays, and no homework at the end of the day. The only things that mattered were books.
As you can probably imagine, this made students more excited about books. Reading = empowerment.
This is how I feel about a writers' conference. It's a fun and intense "Write In" for any wordsmith.
An Interview with Janet Burroway
You may have first encountered Janet Burroway in a college writing class, studying her text Writing Fiction: A Guide to Narrative Craft. But Janet's expertise doesn't stop at fiction—she is the author of plays, poetry, essays, children's books, and eight gorgeous novels. A woman of letters, she has cast her literary net wide. So naturally, we were thrilled when Janet agreed to chat with us about craft, writing habits, and her new memoir.
A National Poetry Month Celebration: An Evening With Local Poets and Poetry Out Loud Students
All participants in Minnesota Poetry Out Loud this year ushered us into National Poetry Month with a renewed love of the craft and a thirst to hear more poetry aloud. That is why the Loft, in partnership with the Metropolitan Library Service Agency (MELSA), has invited local poets and select metro area Poetry Out Loud participants to come together for an event on April 16 celebrating National Poetry Month and a great season of poetry recitation competition in Minnesota.
Lit Chat: Meet Carolyn Holbrook
In a career that has spanned many decades and as many different specialties, Carolyn Holbrook's contributions to the literary vitality of the Twin Cities are too numerous to name. A lifelong advocate for the arts and, more importantly, equal access to art and artistic opportunities for all, Carolyn has been an arts administrator, teacher, and writer, often all at once.

What would it be like to live with a bionic arm? Nigel Ackland knows. And he can use his new arm to tie his shoes, deal cards and all kinds of things that were a lot more difficult when he had only one hand. The British man demonstrates his device in an inspiring new video.
Somehow, we're still fascinated with "Jurassic Park" 20 years after its original release. We love a new behind-the-scenes video that shows how the spitting dinosaur was created.
In the coming "Star Wars: Episode VII," how will older characters such as Luke Skywalker and Han Solo appear now that the actors are in their 60s and 70s? Artist Phil Noto wanted to know, so he drew them based on how the actors look now.

Do airlines deliberately withhold seats until the last minute to get you to splurge on pricier options?
Along the same lines, do airlines create a false impression that a flight is rapidly selling out so you'll jump on any seat available, no matter the cost?
The answers, according to the airline industry, are no and no.
Travelers might have another opinion.
The topic arises as airlines fiddle yet again with prices and fees. Southwest Airlines said Friday that it will start charging a fee next year for customers who miss a flight but fail to cancel their reservation. The carrier hasn't said how much the fee will run.
American Airlines, meanwhile, last week unveiled a new fare structure that will allow coach passengers to dodge a pesky $150 fee to change a booking. But that's only if you agree to pay up to $88 more for your ticket. I'll get back to that in a moment.
Quiz: Test your knowledge about airport security
First, let's meet Dan Cohen, who had a recent run-in with American that paints a decidedly unflattering picture of how the airline treats customers — and perhaps goes a long way toward explaining why American's parent, AMR Corp., has been plodding through bankruptcy proceedings for more than a year.
Cohen, 58, is an Emmy-winning documentary filmmaker whose latest effort, "An Article of Hope," is scheduled to appear next month on PBS. The executive producer of the film, about Israeli astronaut Ilan Ramon, was Tom Hanks.
Cohen has been tweaking the film right up to the finish line. He had to fly from his home in Maryland this month to shoot some last-minute footage in Los Angeles. It was a quick trip — arrive Saturday, work Sunday, return Monday.
He booked the roughly $250 round-trip ticket on the travel site Expedia. For the flight to L.A., no problem. Cohen went to American's website and reserved a seat without any trouble.
For the flight back to Maryland, however, the airline's site showed that only five seats were open, and each required a nearly $42 upgrade fee.
"I figured, holy smokes, I better buy my seat right away or I'm not going to get one," he said. "They obviously were selling out or were overbooking the flight."
So Cohen paid the extra fee and reserved his seat. On the morning of his return flight, he went back to American's website to print his boarding pass, and, lo and behold, there were now 20 seats open — and more than half didn't require an extra fee.
In fact, one of the seats that had previously been listed as requiring an upgrade was now available at the regular price.
"It was a bait-and-switch," Cohen said. "Their seating chart on their own website clearly didn't represent the actual seats available."
Well, what if a bunch of people had simply canceled at the last minute?
"No way," Cohen replied. "The flight was completely full. It's hard to believe there were that many cancellations just a few hours before takeoff."
Insult to injury: When he asked for a refund of that upgrade fee at the airport, the airline rep said she couldn't do anything to help.
It all looked pretty fishy. So I got in touch with Jim Faulkner, a spokesman for American Airlines.

The action was in the middle during Wellborn's AHSAA Class 2A playoff opener against Horseshoe Bend on Friday, and Machristie had himself a day.
The sophomore fullback rushed for 221 yards and three touchdowns and accounted for 248 yards in total offense to lead the Panthers to a 54-26 victory.
"We have competition, me, Kevin and Chantz," Machristie said. "They always give me a hard time, not having the most rushing yards, but I mean, I only get five rushes a game.
"This time I got a little more and did a lot better tonight, so there's something to brag about."
The playoff victory at home was Wellborn's first since 1995, and it earned the Panthers (9-2) a second-round shot at top-ranked Tanner, which beat Sand Rock 55-0 on Friday.
Horseshoe Bend finished 8-3 and didn't leave The Hill happy after a game that grew chippy. The two head coaches shook hands, but Horseshoe Bend players streamed off the field without doing so.
This after a game that saw both teams combine for 280 penalty yards. Horseshoe Bend had 165 on 18 flags.
The two teams combined for 12 total personal fouls, six for each team, and one led to an ejection for Wellborn center Hunter Poynter.
There were a handful of minor skirmishes, and Horseshoe Bend quarterback Chase Cheaney was knocked out of the game after scrambling and delivering a short pass to running back Corey Battle in the fourth quarter.
Horseshoe Bend coach Jason Franklin said he sent his players to the dressing room without a handshake to avoid risking further incident.
"I'm not putting my kids in jeopardy of starting anything out there on the field," he said. "I talked to their coach and told him they done a great job. I think that was all we needed to do right there after the end of that ballgame."
Wellborn players were kept in their locker room until after the Horseshoe Bend team left campus. Wellborn coach Jeff Smith shrugged off the tensions.
"We won. Move on to the next game," he said. "I felt our kids played good tonight and showed high character. That's the way it goes sometimes."
The game went mostly Wellborn's way, with the Panthers gaining 482 of their 516 total yards on the ground. Goodman added 141 yards on 12 runs and three scores, and Mixon went 72 yards on seven rushes.
A holding call wiped out Mixon's 75-yard touchdown run in the third quarter.
Mixon and Goodman do most of their running up the middle, and Machristie attacks the middle. The middle proved to be the opening Friday.
"I think they were keying on Chantz and Kevin a lot," Machristie said. "I'm not trying to brag on myself or anything, but I think they kind of forgot about the trap game that we have.
"The offensive line got in there and blocked their tails off and took care of business and blew some holes open for me. All night long, that trap was there."
Machristie's rushing total included a 53-yard run in the fourth quarter. He finished with touchdown runs of 29, 20 and six yards and caught three passes for 27 yards, including a 2-point conversion.
Goodman rushed for touchdowns one, two and 60 yards but delighted in Machristie's performance. Goodman said it showed what can happen when teams key on him and/or Mixon.
"Me and Kevin have never had a game where they keyed on both of us at the same time," he said. "If they key on Kevin, then me and Landon will get them. If they key on me, then Kevin and Landon will get them.
"That's why we always compete with each other. They might key on one or two, but they're not going to stop all three."
Wellborn also got Judd Smith's 7-yard touchdown pass to Jake Johnson, which came after Machristie's 53-yard run pulled Wellborn away from its own 15-yard line, and Judd Smith added a 1-yard touchdown sneak.
"They done a good job executing their game plan. That's all I can say," Franklin said. "Coach Smith and them did a tremendous job. That's a good football team over there, and they got after us tonight.
"I am disappointed in the way things turned out tonight. I'm not going to get a fine from the state for what I think tonight, and you can please put that in the paper."
Horseshoe Bend had its moments, including Jordan Funderburk's 26-yard halfback pass to Corey Glenn for a first-quarter touchdown.
Battle added touchdown runs of one and 26 yards en route to 110 yards on 21 rushes. Jaquarius Glenn won a tipped-ball battle with Wellborn's Cody Vera for the game's final score, a 36-yard pass from backup quarterback Jim Abernathy.
Horseshoe Bend amassed 339 passing yards, and Cheaney was 15-for-27 for 240 yards before leaving the game.
Wellborn turns its attention to Tanner.
"We've just got to go out there and take care of business," Machristie said. "I'm not scared, and I know we're not scared. Just go out there and get them."

Angus here! I'll have a lot of stuff up here around 11 am EST tomorrow morning. A few tidbits from Thursday night...
Congrats to Nick Lidstrom for recording his 1000th point. Automatic hall-of-famer, automatic starter in any fantasy league... arguably the best defenseman of the past 25 years.
Milan Michalek (and Ottawa as a team) had a huge offensive breakout against Tampa. Michalek had a hat-trick (two of which were short-handed... I have been trying to find the last player to have two shorties in one game... but have not been able to find out who it was, would love some help here!
The Coyotes continue to be stingy defensively. They allowed only two goals in a 3-2 OT win. The bad news is that less than 7,000 made it out to the game in Glendale.
Mike Knuble and Brendan Morrison both recorded two assists playing with Ovechkin on a new-look top line in Washington. I don't see it sticking together, but both players should see huge production gains as long as they skate with Ovechkin. Morrison was a bit of a pedestrian, but Knuble made a fantastic pass on Ovechkin's first goal.
Jose Theodore left the game with a back injury. It didn't look too bad, but who knows. Could open the door for Varlamov (or Neuvirth, who I am really, really high on).

A 2012 survey of North American workers by Right Management, a workforce solutions company, found lunch hours have become a casualty of modern working life. Only one in five workers reported taking a real break for lunch. The plurality, 39 percent, said they have lunch at their desks.
The fast food giant, KFC Corp., did a similar study in 2006 and found that more than 60 percent of America's office workers consider the 60-minute lunch to be the biggest myth in office life.
Robyn Blumner of the Tampa Bay Times answers why:
Workplace expectations have changed. There is more work per person, office workers don't have union contracts protecting break times, and everyone's afraid to appear to be the one slacking off.
What's your workday routine? Lunch at a restaurant? At your desk? Or somewhere else?

Hello all,
I'm trying to extract information from a data signature to copy into another field.
I can access the data signatures in the document through the enumerate method:
var oSigs = xfa.signature.enumerate();
var iNum = oSigs.length;
for (var i=0; i < iNum; i++)
var oChild = oSigs.item(i);
// Display dialog box.
var iVerify = xfa.signature.verify(oChild,"1");
xfa.host.messageBox("Validity of signature integer value: " +
What I'd really like to do is specify an output SignatureInfo object in the "sign" operation so that I can extract the common name of the signer, date, certificate, etc.... through the signatureInfo() method.
Syntax is:
Reference_Syntax.sign( OBJECT param1, STRING param2, STRING param3 [, STRING param4 [, BOOLEAN param5 [, OBJECT param6 [, OBJECT
param7 ] ] ] ] ) where param7 "Represents an output SignatureInfo object containing the writable properties of the signature."
(From http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/designerHelp/001413.html#10. ..)
I have not found an example that includes any of the optional parameters.
Can anyone help with this?
I have created a simple sample that shows how to get the signatureInfo object (using JavaScript on an XFA based PDF form)
Sample script is as follows...
// Get particular info
var Info = event.target.getField("form1[0].Page1[0].SignatureField1[0]").signatu reInfo()
// Some standard signatureInfo properties
app.alert("name = " + Info.name);
app.alert("reason = " + Info.reason);
app.alert("date = " + Info.date);
// Get the certificate; first (and only) one
var certificate = Info.certificates[0];
// Common name of the signer
app.alert("Signer Common Name = " + certificate.subjectCN);
I have also attached the sample file.
Hope this helps.
Thanks Steve but unfortunately my problem is still unresolved.
I'm trying to extract signature information from a data signature present in the document.
The reason I'm not using a signature field for signing is because the user is then prompted to save the file (locally). I need to replicate the behavior of signing a form in LC ES2 Workspace.
For this reason then, signing is implemented by a regular button, labelled "Sign & Submit", which triggers the click event of a "Submit" button (with sign submission) turned on.
When one opens the signed PDF, the data signatures are visible by opening Reader's Signature Panel, however no signature-like object appears in the body of the document.
xfa.signature.verify has a 4th parameter that, according to the documentation is "an output signatureInfo object containing the writable properties of the signature". http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/designerHelp/000976.html#105 8250
If I can properly specify param4 thereby creating a corresponding signatureInfo object on the fly, then I can use the signatureInfo methods you referenced in your code sample.
Is this the correct approach? I do not have access to the LC Digital Signatures component.
I'm continuing to investigate... hopefully I'll have something soon.
Thanks Steve.
Anything yet?
I am waiting on confirmation, but it appears that the ability to create a SignatureInfo object (for an XML data signature) when using the "sign" method with the optional parameter is broken.

FORTUNE -- A week after typhoon Haiyan slammed into the Philippines, food, water, and medicine started pouring into the island nation, but they arrived with no designated way to reach the storm's neediest victims.
Six days after the storm hit, there were reports that most citizens in Tacloban, the city of 220,000 hit hard by the typhoon, had not received any aid and were going on a week without food, water, shelter, and other necessities.
Lack of vehicles, fuel, and manpower are what's holding up the flow of aid in the Philippines. In the aftermath of the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti, the airport in Port-au-Prince was the problem; it was too small to handle the large numbers of aid flights. Some planes carrying rescue teams, medical personnel, and equipment were delayed or diverted.
In addition to mass destruction, loss of life, and the need for renewal, many recent natural disasters have been hampered by a less tragic but still pressing problem: a lack of logistics. With research pointing to more severe storms in the future, the aid bottlenecks are doomed to grow larger and more painful.
MORE: The road to demolition: Inside a Spanish ghost town
Since every natural disaster plays out in an unpredictable and chaotic way, there is no sure-fire solution to easing the relief gridlock, but logistics experts make one (quite obvious) thing clear: Having emergency resources in place prior to a disaster would help the flow of supplies.
Weather models pinpoint geographic areas most vulnerable to repeated disasters. The Philippines, for example, ranks third on the United Nation's 2012 Risk Index, which measures how a region's exposure to natural hazards and climate change coincides with vulnerable societies. Stockpiling extra food, water, and medicine in such a region in preparation for a disaster would reduce the wait time before storm or earthquake victims receive the resources they need.
That is, of course, easier said than done.
The UN has five depots of supplies around the world that it can tap when disaster strikes. The closest one to the Philippines was in Malaysia. The Red Cross has stockpiles too, though it had already deployed the supplies it had stored in Manila prior to the typhoon as part of a response to the earthquake that struck the Philippines in October.
"There's an understanding that if we have more funding ahead of time we'd be even more responsive," says Jarrod Goentzel, director of the Humanitarian Response Lab at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
That sentiment rings especially true for smaller aid groups. Relief organizations that are chronically hard-pressed for funds don't always have capital on hand to procure emergency supplies and place them in risky regions just in case. Garnering money and resources for disaster response is a whole lot easier after a fatal storm or earthquake hits, rather than before the worst has already come. For example, the non-profit Global Giving, which connects donors with grassroots projects, had provided Japanese non-profit organizations with $163,000 in the decade before the 2011 earthquake and tsunami disaster. It handed out $9.3 million afterwards.
But some non-profits are still giving advanced measures a shot.
Direct Relief, for example, launched its Hurricane Preparedness Program in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. It stockpiles 140 medical items most often needed post-hurricane in 50 clinics from Texas to the Carolinas every year prior to June 1, the start of the hurricane season. If the medicine hasn't been used at season's end -- November 30 -- the clinics can use the items to meet everyday patient needs. "That way, they don't just die on the shelves," says Brett Williams, the organization's emergency response coordinator. This year Direct Relief also gave out 15 medical modules capable of treating 5,000 people for one month to hospitals in Central America and the Caribbean.
MORE: Microsoft's CEO selection: The unanswered questions
More organizations could get ahead of the disaster curve with adequate funding. Goentzel of MIT points to a strategy used by UNICEF that might help aid groups get a financial jumpstart on disaster relief. In 2011, the humanitarian relief organization for children set up a bridge fund with investors' net worth grants, below-market-rate loans, and guarantees that gives UNICEF's supply division cash until regular donations are available.
For now, Direct Relief is funding its hurricane prevention system the old-fashioned way, with fundraising. It spends $450,000 on a program that delivers $2 million worth of medical supplies -- many of which are donated by large pharmaceutical companies. Williams says the organization struggles to raise funds for it since asking a donor to help prevent a crisis isn't as easy a pitch as asking someone to help abate an already dire situation, one where lives are on the line.
"Our [fundraising] pitch is that there's a scheduled emergency time period every year when people are extra vulnerable to storms. This program will ensure that there's no interruption in care," Williams says. "Now people are saying, 'Why didn't you think of bringing it to Asia?' It's not that we haven't thought about it, it's that we don't have the resources at this moment to do it."

The Top Funds Over Five Years: Bond Funds Take the Lead
by Charles Rotblut, CFA
Context is always important when looking at historical return data, especially five-year performance for mutual funds.
The period covered in this year's Top Funds Over Five Years article starts on January 1, 2007—months before the severe bear market started. As of the end of 2011, neither the S&P 500 index nor the broader Wilshire 5000 index had rebounded back to the price levels they traded at at the start of the five-year period that this article covers.
The five-year period also saw a large drop in interest rates. Yields on the benchmark 10-year Treasury bond fell from 4.71% on December 29, 2006, to 1.87% on December 30, 2011. Since bond yields and prices are inversely related, bonds rallied over the past five years.

I don't recall ever seeing an analysis of the impact of a change in leadership on the performance of a fund.
I realize that the results of such a change might take a long time to emerge, and that obviously such a change could have negative as well as positive results.
But still, could there be a conclusion or signals that investors could use to better foresee potential gain or danger to a change in fund management? Has anyone produced such an analysis? This would be a worthwhile effort if such a study has not been produced. I apologize in advance if such a work already exists.

I was searching the internet for different ways to insualte my sunroom, and I ran into an interesting idea. The gist of it is to insulate the cavity between the 2x4s with R-13, and install rigid foam board to close up the walls. He then sealed the seams with tape, added furring strips on top, and secured the sheetrock to the furring strips.
The upside of this is that for an older home like mine, it should do a good job of sealing the exterior wall. It should also be good for soundproofing. On the other hand, an moisture that makes it into the wall will only have one side to dry out intead of two.
Anyone have any insite as to if this is a good idea? If it is, I have a couple more questions. First, do I need the furring strips, or can I secure the sheetrock to the studs through the rigid board? Second, it seems to me that a moisture barrier is pointless once I have the rigid foam. Should I use unfaced insulation? Lastly, I noticed that there is R-15 insulation avaialble at 3.5 inches thick. It is about three times the price of R-13. Is the higher R value worth the cost?
Thanks in advance for the help.
They make house wrap sheeting too. They make Great Stuff expanding foam too.
Making it airtight on one side only is normal procedure in climates that depend on it to be comfortable indoors during the coldest half of the year. Whether you will do it right depends a lot on your ability to understand the factors. For example, do you know when the vapor barrier should be closest to the outermost layer and when it should be closest to the innermost layer? If not, post information about the climate where you live. Or your location.
Let me make a few things clear:
You only want ONE vapor retarder in this design, kraft faced batts are a BAD idea.
Foam does NOT make a good sound proofing material, you'd need to DECOUPLE the surfaces for that.
I've never seen it done on the inside before, how would you push your electrical boxes out to the finished drywall surface?
The good thing about this design would be the thermal break you would get, ie. the studs would not be touching both exterior sheathing and interior drywall.
Lets hear what climate you live in and I'll tell you if it's a good idea or not...
I'll try to reply to everything at once. If more info is needed, let me know.
I'm in CT so electricity and oil are rather expensive. We haven't yet decided how we are going to heat the room, so I can't answer how much it costs. Prior to this project, the room was allways cold and we used kerosine. We are likley to either install a vent free gas heater, or possibly install a heatpump for the house (converting over from oil). I'm not sure which way we are going yet.
I also can't answer how long we are going to be here. It will either be another year, or another five. Its unlikley to be in between.
Its allso worth mentioning that this room has three exterior walls, and no second floor above it. So it is exposed on four sides (two are interior - the floor and one wall).
I can live without the soundproofing. It was just gravy.
Electrical boxes would have to be cut out of the foam. I would concider either putting the outlets in the floor (I have to check code on this). they sell inserts for outlets to insulate them, or at least seal them better. Those would be added if I put them in the wall.
Last edited by shluffer; 11-02-2010 at 04:58 PM.
I didn't ask if you were going to cut them out of foam, I asked how you expected to get them out far enough when you add X inches of foam in front of the stud. Boxes are anchored to the studs, not the foam...
I would worry more about what sort of insulation is at the top of this structure rather than the walls...
I misunderstood the question. I was planning on either using deeper boxes (I can get them from an inch to 4 inches deep) or using flush mount boxes, not the boxes that mount on top of the sheetrock, rather the ones with tabs that hold it against the wall.
for the ceiling I was going to go with R 38 or R30 depending on if I drop the ceiling. Currently, I only have 10 inches of space so I'm stuck with R30. I would like to use the same method and cover with rigid insulation. I'm concerned about overheating the roofing material. I would like to leave some vent space between the roof and the insulation, but I haven't yet figured out how to do it without using lower than R30 or dropping the ceiling a couple of inches. The lighiting is also going to create issues. My wife would like me to install cans. I haven't found a good way to insulate around them yet. I would like to go with ceiling fans. They use less space in the ceinling and are therefore easier to insulate around. Another option would be using a radiant barrier against the roof and using a lower R value insulation underneath it (I won't have enough room for R30). Once again I'm worried that a radiant barrier would overheat the roof in the summer. Any suggestions?
Asphalt roof life does depend on having adequate attic ventilation, but I'm not sure that whatever you do in the way of addt'l insulation would pay for itself in fuel savings within 5 years.
Possibly 1/2" of air space below the roof would provide adequate natural convection. The Engineering Toolbox site may have some methods for figuring this out.
For dark roofs sunlight may put up to 1 kw per sq. meter into your roof.
Last edited by Thatguy; 11-03-2010 at 02:26 PM.
Just use the staple-on styrofoam soffit baffles for ventilation...
What do you expect to insulate the roof with other than foam, fibre?
Is this going to be a cathedral ceiling, you said you only have 10" to work with?
First of all, I would like to thank everyone for there help with this. I appreciate your patiance in pulling the needed information out of me.
The roof over this room is flat rolled aspholt. The rafters holding up the roof are 2X10s. The lathe (the ceiling is plaster) is connected directly to the rafters. I am in the process of removing what is left of the plaster. I plan on affixing my sheetrock to the rafters preserving the original ceiling height in the room. So I have 10 inches to work with. My first thaught was to use R30 fiberglass rolles, then possibly a layer of the rigid styrofoam. I'm still not sure if the styrofoam will be worth the cost. The R30 is 9.5 inches thick whcih will leave some space between the roof and the insulation. I'm open to any suggestions on this. I'm trying to learn more about this sothat I can properly balance cost and efficiency.
Whatever air space you have under the roof, 10 to 60 air changes per hour is probably enough to adequately cool the roof.

I'm standing in an alcove out of the picture in the first two shots where a Drum set is going...either that or a bar. Have to get the TV and the surround sound hooked up. Need to also get some art for the walls. Still don't know where alot of my stuff is...I feel like I'm going to be living out of boxes for the next couple of years...moving is nuts. I did put a crazy alarm system in...freaky to have alot of my gear in one place.

I was determined, for one thing, not to have any exposed infrastructure - especially the poles. So, there are some lower ceilings where the beams and HVAC run and all poles are hidden in walls. When I finish this last room - I'll show some shots of the other rooms.

I think we have a winner!!!
Seriously can't figure out if I want the drums in this room or the basement.... I don't play drums...my brother who lives in an apartment in NYC wants me to put a kit in there...it would be cool I guess... I could probably cram a bar in someplace else...also we have an extra fridge right down that staircase ....all I use it for now is beer....hmmmm.
i guess these are good problems to have!

I love seeing how people make their gear addictions work! Especially when there is a significant other involved or if you have limited space! (it sure can be tricky...I know this first hand...well that is up until recently now that I have more space) Some awesome rooms posted so far...I guess after seeing some of these I need to get a PA too?
Before the drywall... Insulation!
I'm using R15 here....
Over the insulation goes the vapor barrier...
Yes, the closet got insulation and vapor barrier too.

A Stitch in Time
A Stitch in Time, a quilt shop in the Appalachian foothills in Franklin, North Carolina, provides a place for quilters to meet, learn, and create heirlooms.
Comfort & Joy [1]
Samples of every kit are on display in A Stitch in Time in Franklin, North Carolina. Owner Maxine Ramey is proud that her quilt shop is a place where quilters are inspired to create heirlooms for future generations.
Meet the Staff [2]
Seated, from left: Marrell Miles, Maxine Ramey (owner), and Bonnie Forkner; standing: Judy Lowery Elva Bata, Courtney Smith, and Teresa Thomas; not pictured: Diane Schoeps.
Imaginative Storage [3]
A vintage post office box houses fat quarters, books, and punch needle supplies at A Stitch in Time.
Kits for On-the-Go Quilters [4]
Kits are often packaged in pots, buckets, and other creative containers to cater to visiting quilters.
Climbing Rose [5]
A Stitch in Time owner Maxine Ramey designed Climbing Rose for Quilt Sampler Fall/Winter 2010 magazine.
Details [6]
Maxine machine-quilted a floral motif in the center of each Irish Chain block and a leaf in the block corners. She stitched a feathered leaf motif in the setting pieces and outer border and stippled the inner border.
Climbing Rose Color Option [7]
Reverse the placement of lights and darks to give this pattern a strikingly different look. Quilt tester Laura Boehnke used a cream batik instead of a black print and powder blue batik instead of a cream floral for the Irish Chain blocks. The various blues also make the Irish Chain blocks stand out rather than blend with the setting squares. Fabrics are from Laundry Basket Quilts Let It Snow Batiks Favorites collection for Moda Fabrics [8].
Contact A Stitch in Time [9] to purchase a copy of the Fall/Winter 2010 issue of Quilt Sampler magazine. Issues are also available at your local quilt shop, on newsstands, and online [10].

How To Combat Hay Fever Symptoms
Because Ragweed Season Officially Begins
What is ragweed?
Ragweed is a plant that grows from mid-August through the first frost and wreaks havoc with allergies. It grows wherever it can get a toehold: farmland, construction sites, along roads, and possibly even in your backyard. If the ground is bare and disturbed, it is an open invitation to ragweed.
One ragweed plant can produce one billion grains of pollen in a single year. By comparison, a corn plant produces only 4 million grains in a year. Additionally, ragweed pollen can travel around 400 miles on the wind so it doesn't even have to grow close to you to be a problem. So you can see the far-reaching effects of ragweed.
There are about 20 species of ragweed in North America, but the two most common are called short ragweed and giant ragweed. Short ragweed or common ragweed is found in more locations than any other species. It can grow to 4 feet in height. The leaves have a fern-like appearance and grow opposite each other on the stem. Giant ragweed is not found as often, but it is the biggest pollen producer and can grow to as tall as 15 feet.
Why is ragweed important to me?
If you are one of the 20% of Americans who suffer from hay fever, ragweed is important to you. Anyone allergic to pollen of any type has a 75 percent chance of being allergic to ragweed. This weed is singled out as an enemy to allergy sufferers mainly because of the sheer volume of pollen it produces and the distance the pollen can travel on the wind.
It is estimated that around 3.8 million work and school days are missed every year in the United States due to ragweed. If you have nasal congestion, sneezing, eye irritation, or itchy eyes, nose or throat every year in late summer through fall, you could be one of those statistics. To be sure if your symptoms are caused by ragweed pollen, you can visit an allergist or ENT (ear, nose, and throat specialist) for testing. If you are allergic to ragweed, your doctor may suggest antihistamines or allergy shots to alleviate your symptoms.
What can I do to avoid ragweed and its pollen?
There are many things you can do on your own to reduce exposure to ragweed. Get started with the following tips from the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI):
Keep windows closed at all times during ragweed season to prevent pollen from drifting into your home. Use air conditioning, which cleans, cools and dries the air.
Minimize outdoor activity when pollen counts are high. Peak pollen times are usually between 10 am and 4 pm.
Keep your car windows closed when traveling.
Take a shower after spending time outside, pollen can collect on your hair and skin.
Don't hang sheets or clothing outside to dry. Pollens can collect on them as well.
Minimize exposure to other known allergens during ragweed season, since symptoms are the result of a cumulative effect of multiple allergens and non-allergic triggers.
Washing clothes and bedding in an
allergen reduction laundry detergent
helps get rid of irritating pollen. A
window screen filter
can be an enjoyable solution to the need to keep pollen out but let fresh air in. Keeping updated on the
pollen levels
for your area can also be helpful in planning activities.
What else can I do to alleviate the symptoms of hay fever caused by ragweed?
Nasal irrigation
is frequently recommended to help control ragweed symptoms by removing the irritants. Rinsing pollen out of the nasal and sinus passages can help prevent or reduce allergic reactions to ragweed. There are two main methods of irrigation: gravity-based and positive pressure. In both, salt of various types (table salt, sea salt, kosher salt, etc.) or concentrations (isotonic vs. hypertonic) is added to water for the rinse. This is important since salt is integral to our body composition. You can buy
pre-mixed solution
solution packets
to mix with water, or mix your own saline solution.
Gravity-based irrigation typified by the
neti pot
allows water to flow naturally in one nostril and out the other nostril with the head tilted sideways.
Positive pressure irrigation sends the water up into your nostril and through your sinuses to cleanse away mucus. It gives you more control over the water flow and research has shown this method to work better. Products such as
SinuCleanse Squeeze
, and
fall into this category. Also in the positive pressure category are mechanized methods of irrigation such as the
SinuPulse Elite
Hydro Pulse
that send pulsing streams of water into your nose and sinuses in a motion that mimics the natural motion of the cilia. All of these positive pressure devices are effective. Which one you choose is really a matter of personal preference.
Utilizing methods of cleaning your indoor air are also beneficial in relieving hay fever symptoms. Ragweed pollen is exceptionally light so it remains airborne for a long time where it can be captured by
HEPA room air purifiers
that pull the air in the room through a filter by means of a fan. Your HVAC system also pulls air in your home through a
furnace filter
. Leaving the system's fan on all the time during ragweed system can provide extra filtration by constantly pulling air through the filter where pollen is trapped. Attaching a
to your incoming air vents, especially in the bedroom, captures pollen missed by the furnace filter that is travelling through your ductwork.

Parent Directory | Revision Log
|Links to HEAD:
|(view) (annotate)
|Sticky Tag:
Merge changes from cross-sol-x86-2010-12-20 which adds support for Solaris/x86. There should be no functional changes for either other x86 ports or for the sparc port.
Add -DFEATURE_SSE2 if we're compiling on x86 and have either FEATURE_X87 or FEATURE_SSE2 defined.
First cut at a build for Solaris/x86. Result doesn't work; it gets as far as TYPE-INIT, but then crashes. These changes still allow solaris/sparc and darwin/x86 to build, so we haven't broken both sparc and x86 while doing this. tools/cross-scripts/cross-x86-osx-solaris.lisp: o New cross-compile script to use darwin/x86 to cross-compile to solaris/x86. compiler/x86/parms.lisp: o For now, put thel linkage space start at 0xc0000000 on Solaris/x86. lisp/Config.sparc_common: o Separate out the common parts between Solaris sparc and x86. Move the different parts into the appropriate file. lisp/Config.sparc_sunc: o Add ASSEM_SRC and ARCH_SRC here, with the appropriate OS_SRC, OS_LINK_FLAGS, and OS_LIBS> lisp/Config.x86_solaris_sunc: o New file for building solaris/x86 using Sun C (aka Sun Studio aka Solaris Studio) lisp/interrupt.c: o Use a static array for the altstack. Should eventually do what other x86 platforms do. lisp/solaris-os.c: o Don't need os_flush_icache on x86 (?), so make the body empty for x86. o Add x86 version of os_sigcontext_reg and os_sigcontext_pc. lisp/sunos-os.h: o The pagesize is 4096 on x86 instead of 8192. o Don't need (?) SAVE_CONTEXT. lisp/x86-assem.S: o Update to support Sun C assembler: - Add appropriate GNAME, FUNCDEF and ENDFUNC macros. - Sun assembler doesn't have int3 instruction, so add INT3 macro to do the appropriate things. - Sun assembler doesn't like control L characters in the file so remove them. lisp/x86-validate.h: o Add entry for Solaris. This needs work, but it looks like these values will work.
Change how Solaris executables set up builtin_image_flag. Instead of having the address of builtin_image_flag set to some (random) address of mapped memory that is non-zero, we add a special file to lisp.a that defines builtin_image_flag to 1. lisp/Config.sparc_common: o Define EXEC_FINAL_OBJ lisp/GNUmakefile: o Make lisp.a depend on EXEC_FINAL_OBJ o On Solaris, add EXEC_FINAL_OBJ to lisp.a. tools/SunOS-cmucl-linker-script: o Remove the line setting the address of builtin_image_flag. tools/linker.sh: o For Solaris, we don't need to define BIFLAG; the builtin_image_flag is automatically set correctly by linking in lisp.a
Merge intl-branch 2010-03-18 to HEAD. To build, you need to use boot-2010-02-1 as the bootstrap file. You should probably also use the new -P option for build.sh to generate and update the po files while building.
Restart internalization work. This new branch starts with code from the intl-branch on date 2010-02-12 18:00:00+0500. This version works and LANG=en@piglatin bin/lisp works (once the piglatin translation is added).
Add new path, as was done for x86.
Add new config for sparc/solaris, matching what was done for x86. The sun4_solaris_gcc and sun4_solaris_sunc configs are now obsolete, but we leave the around for now. Tested both configs and they work. lisp/Config.sparc_common: o New file for common config for gcc and Sun C builds on Solaris lisp/Config.sparc_gcc: o New file for building on sparc/solaris with gcc lisp/Config.sparc_sunc: o New file for building on sparc/solaris with Sun C tools/create-target.sh: o Change default from sun4_solaris_gcc to sparc_gcc to use new configuration.

Brian Boland's eyes open wide with excitement when talking about the NCAA Tournament.
"It's Christmas," Boland laughed. "It's an opportunity to have something that only comes once a year that you work really hard for that you look forward to and anticipate with great enthusiasm."
The Virginia head coach is in his 12th season at the head of the Cavalier men's tennis program, a program he's helped mold into a national contender every season.
During his time in Charlottesville, his teams have had a No. 1 national ranking during six different seasons, won nine ACC Championships, ten ACC regular season titles, advanced to the 2011 and 2012 NCAA final, the NCAA semifinals six times and the quarterfinals four other seasons, and set the school record for wins in a season.
But Boland isn't one to rest on those accomplishments. He believes the best is yet to come.
"I believe there's a lot of positive things to come in future years. We work really hard, we have a great foundation, but I believe the best is still in front of us. We're certainly pleased with what we've accomplished but we're nowhere near what we hope to accomplish in years to come."
The one goal that's eluded Boland and the Cavaliers to this point is the National Championship. They've come close the last two seasons, falling to USC in both Championship Finals. But many believe this is the team can get Boland over that hurdle.
"Just getting it done would mean the world to him and especially us the players, to finally give it to him I think would be amazing," senior Julen Uriguen said.
"I know once he gets that team title he's just going to go back to work and get another one," fellow senior Jarmere Jenkins added.
Boland insists winning the title won't change how he goes about business at UVa.
"It's not going to motivate me," Boland explained. "Bottom line is I'm going to give my best every single day. That's how I've been my entire life. It would be an exciting time that I would enjoy and be thrilled to have been part of something that won a National Championship but it's not going to motivate me any more. I'm motivated. And I'm just going to keep working year in and year out for this program and give it everything I have."

Ustedes no saben cuanta diferencia su presencia ha tenido en mi vida ya que no soy solo profesional o líder o comadres. Viéndolas manejando tan importante asuntos y como escucharon, aconsejaron y ayudaron me hace sentir aun mas orgullosa de ser mujer y Latina.
Es un placer haberles tenido, gracias mil gracias. Aprendí muchísimo.
Great training. I will use the Elliot video & the activity in our trainings! :-) Thank you!
Thank you for embodying strong women for me to carry with me!
Wonderful training!! Want more concrete info on best practices.
Excellent! Thanks so much
Hi Ivonne,
I wanted to take the time to thank you & Mily for taking your time to train SARSSM on how to better serve the Latino Community in Southern Maine. I found this training extremely valuable and noted many ways in which our agency can grow from here and how I can be a better sexual assault advocate.
I thoroughly enjoyed this training. I appreciated the mix of activities that enabled us as participants to get up out of our chairs, move around and engage in a different way. The use of video clips was powerful. The case scenario group exercise was extremely helpful for me to think about how to be culturally sensitive when helping someone from the Latino community. Thanks again!
Dearest Comadres,
I want to take a moment to acknowledge the powerful, liberating and inspirational gift that you all left us with here in Portland, Maine.
I can honestly say that the training far exceeded any expectation that I had in both professional quality and personal satisfaction. I know that I have told those of you that presented that for me it was so gratifying to see other Latinas leading so beautifully and that alone gave me stores of hope and renewed dedication to this work. It is work that is often hard and fraught with isolation. You all came to Portland, showed us how it's done and in so doing we are charged with transforming our organizations, ourselves and our communities.
I want to especially thank Adelita for being there that day (almost 2 years ago), answering the phone herself, and hearing the need in my voice. Adelita, you responded with such sustained support and thoughtful attention that I am in awe of you without ever having met you. Thank you for all of your generosity. Eres una bendicion.

Ultimate Alliance Costume Parade
Discover the alternate costumes for some of Marvel's heaviest hitters.
October 20, 2006
Activision dug deep in the archives for some of these costumes. While Spider-Man has more changes in dress than can be counted on fingers and toes, Dr. Strange and Thor aren't quite as fortunate. Still, every character gets to shine in some extra duds. So what are these alternate looks? We managed to sneak a peek into the closets of six different Marvel heroes to reveal their full selection of outfits.
