Do you do your own decorating? Or have you tried and given up?(36 Posts)
The house we're buying needs a lot, and I do mean a lot, of decorating. First there is the old paisley swirly carpet that would have looked tired in an old pub in the 70s. We are really hoping that beneath it we will find hardwood floors that we can refinish. Wondering how difficult would it be to take up the carpet and fix up the floors ourselves?
The kitchen walls need repainting and I'd like to add some tiles as well.
Then there are the nearly fluorescent paint colours in every colour of the rainbow. I think we just need to paint over these with primer and, as the walls are in good condition, apply paint with a roller to the walls and do the skirting boards with a brush. How difficult is it to get things even?
Finally, the existing wallpaper. It must die. So I figure we scrape that off and apply new. Now, I know it's not that easy to apply traditional wallpaper but I've been reading about this new stuff that you apply the paste to the wall instead of to the paper. Any thoughts on this?
We aren't going to have much spare cash at all once we move but don't want to just sit and look at our fugly house interiors for too long. But on the other hand we have no DIY skills whatsoever. What should we try to do ourselves and what's better left until we can save? And do we need loads of cash for materials and supplies for these projects anyway, or is it the labour that makes the biggest contribution to the price of redecorating?
why would you not at least try? the only hard thing is if you're not used to any kind of physical work, at all
you can't do any harm with a paint brush or roller
you might even find you quite enjoy it. go for it
Thanks for the encouragement, toomuch. I suppose I'm afraid of ending up with a DIY disaster, wasting what little spare cash we do have on supplies and only making the problems worse. But if I cant do much damage then may as well give it a go.
well taking up the carpet is easy - then see what is underneath and decide where to go from there. If you replace the carpet then get it properly fitted IMO as that is a costly mistake I expect if you do it wrong. I have had friends sand floors with no problems with no experience so I don't think that would be beyond you.
painting - well if the walls are in good condition and you have to cover up lots of strong colours then start with that. you can strip wallpaper yourselves, paint white over the colours to get to a good base and if you are happy with your work then you can then go on and paint the colour you want. I would expect after the practice of painting over the other colours you will gain in confidence in your ability.
Wallpapering is like the inverted wrapping of a present but there are lots of tutorials on YouTube to help with the tricky bits ( windows, radiators etc) I say go for it you will save yourself a packet.
I have only had people in to paint for me a couple of times. It's a waste if money for an easy job IMO. The only time I paid was because it was a very high hall with a stone staircase and a huge drop!
My mum can wallpaper so it can't be that hard!
Sanding floors isn't hard either, it's a bit like hoovering.
DH and I have always done it and plumbing, electrics,building etc.
You only know if you can decorate by giving it a go. At least if you paint it all white you can see what you've got.
Wallpapering isn't too tricky. You need a system, each of you needs to know which tasks are yours, and you need to work efficiently. It's not as hard as it looks if you choose a paper of good quality with an easy match.
Give it a go - you won't do anything that can't be undone and you could save lots of money.
Normal decorating is quite easy and you just need to google for some how to videos on YouTube.
Sanding a wooden floor (fingers crossed that's what you find underneath the horrible carpet!) is more of a specialist job and worth paying someone else to do if you possibly can.
Give it a go.
We tried it. I had helped my parents to decorate our house as a teen so thought I knew what to do.
No, DH and I were useless. Actually, worse than useless. And we didn't enjoy it. DH stormed off in a huff. I managed to wallpaper our bedroom in the end but the wonky paper drove me nuts.
And the tools...so so many tools.
Since then, we have paid decorators to do it for us, which means we don't decorate often.
I'm glad we tried it though. Who knows - you might be good at it!
DH and I had huge rows about wallpaper hanging in our previous house and we have not done it since. Not about to have another go either! We get a decorator in to paint but I have done plenty in the past when we were much harder up. It's expensive because the decorator needs to make a living. It's not a charity is it? I would not attempt to lay a carpet or floor as the materials are expensive.
We used to do ours. We were OK. Did a reasonable job that we could live with and certainly improved things.
But, we don't do it any more. As well as we did it, we just don't have the finish that a professional does plus I can't believe how quickly they do the job. What used to take us weeks of evenings and weekends and days off they could do it in hours almost (drying time aside).
The other thing is that they have all the equipment. We had to buy all the equipment. We probably didn't buy the best things for the job every time and we certainly didn't buy the quality brushes. It was probably a false economy - it doesn't help do a good job is you have a brush shedding hairs everywhere for example.
If you have simple rooms what don't require a lot of making good and you can't live with it as it is then have a go but maybe save up to get some done professionally later. I think it is worth it, just for the time and inconvenience it saves.
Agree with what the last couple of posters have said BUT DH and I still look back fondly on our early DIY efforts when we were poor newly weds over 20 yrs ago. We often say that although things didn't always look great and it was bloody hard work, they were the happiest times. Now we are older and more time poor we pay someone else to do it.
On a practical note I'd suggest you look at the floors and if they're ok stain them a dark colour and paint all walls and woodwork trade (not brilliant) white. It will give you a fresh clean palate and buy you some breathing space to sit back and contemplate how you want to move forward.
It is mainly the time it takes to do something. I do pretty much all the decorating in our house. Dh rollers the ceilings but I do all the cutting in and painting walls. We have wallpapered in the past but prefer to paint as you can change a paint colour very easily and quickly.
Is there no-one you could ask to show you how?
We had lovely friends and when we bought our first house (many moons ago) our mate showed us how to tile our kitchen. My Mum taught me to wallpaper when I was 15, and decorating is just something I tried and found I was good at.
There are lots of videos on YouTube giving advice. The hardest thing to do is a good cutting in, which is where you paint the corners of the room (easy) and then go along the wall where it meets the ceiling and the skirting, plus door frames. That is all about technique, but it is easy to practice.
I would say have a go, if you have a screwfix or toolstation near to you go there for brushes as they are much much cheaper than B&Q.
Personally I wouldn't strip my own floor, but that is asthma, time, effort and I wouldn't enjoy it. I actually enjoy painting. I had my bannister recently painted by a decorator because that is a job I hate, I am in Yorkshire and it cost me £80! Bargain.
yy to getting decent equipment - decent brushes, decent rollers, trade paint (branded not B&Q etc trade!). Also decorators tend to do lots of thin coats not one thick one and they even thin paint down sometimes!
Really bright/dark paint though might be problematic - on wood I would seriously think about stripping it off (might need lots of coats and every little chip will reveal the colour underneath) And make sure anything you paint over is sound - in fact if you have boring standard skirting boards painted in dark colours seriously think about replacing them (not difficult, not expensive).
I am the voice of experience - in this house almost every bit of wooden trim was painted over in dark brown 'wood' effect paint -
Hours of work, cans of nitromors later (and it was when paint stripper worked - a chemical in it has been banned and it is (all) rubbish now), sanding down etc I managed to get it off the skirtings in one room and looking ok.
Second room I used a heat gun - still a painstaking job, gave up (6 months of bare walls later - just no spare time) and got a handyman (former decorator) in ...he said replace the skirtings - I said I've stripped them now - he said by the time you've paid me to sand them it will be cheaper - I said I'd sand them then... I did- of a fashion - thinking they'd be ok - he painted them (tutting away) and now when I notice them (quite a lot) they annoy me .
Finally he did the decorating in the hall/stairway way for me - most of the stair bits etc weren't easily replaceable. Stripping would treble the price, he sanded (got rid of the flaky loose bits), used really good paint and it looked great -but every time the wood gets chipped it is really obvious as the dark paint shows through....
Other (affected) rooms replaced skirtings and stripped around doors (except one I replace the facings too)...have learnt my lesson!
On walls it might be worth using lining paper to cover the paint rather than trying countless layers...and never try and paint over patterned wall paper - I did once (pale blue with little pink flowers) on the fourth coat I gave up and stripped it off...
Oh and finally - no matter what is the current fashion etc never paint any woodwork that is hard to replace - or ceilings come to think of it - any colour other than white (or at least very pale!) Unless you are planning to sell to your worst enemy in the near future !
Thanks, all. Norm, we will definitely not be good at it either. We have fallen out over flat pack furniture assembly before and both are bad with our hands and severely lack spatial skills. Him worse than me so I will be chief decorator and it will really be the blind leading the blind .
Unlucky oh no - several of the ceilings in the house have been painted different colours already by the previous owners! Also the house is Victorian with high ceilings (so will need to invest in a tall ladder I suppose but would need that anyway for changing lightbulbs, etc). At least it looks like most of the ceilings have been replastered already as they are nice and smooth, (but the lovely ceiling roses are gone ).
Contented, great idea about the YouTube videos! BigB, yes I'm concerned we might spend a fortune on tools and then give up if it turns out too difficult!
You know, though, the more I think about it will be quite fun to give it a go. And though we will try to get the finish as good as we can, there will be a lot of satisfaction sitting there thinking "we did that" once it's done. Even if it isn't perfect it will be ours! Screwfix catalog here I come.
yep its easy to do. if painting buy decent paint not B&Q or wickes, you will not get good coverage. dont water paint down - our friend who is a decorator says the biggest mistake people make when painting is not having enough paint on the brush/roller - its true use enough paint and it makes life easier.
wallpaper is easy - measure out your paper and cut quite a few strips at a time, between 6-10, and paste them all together. by the time you have pasted the last one the first one will be ready to put up. get all the paper up first then go back and trim the tops/bottoms all together. when trimming make sure you have something with a long straight edge and get that right into the corner of the wall/roof or skirting and use that as an edge to cut against with a sharp knife.
When the paper is on the wall dont use a brush to smooth it off, use a wallpaper smoother, they are flat plastic things but they make life so much easier when papering - they take a bit of practice getting used to but they work a treat and are much quicker than doing it any other way.
if you are putting up lining paper use a tiny bead of decorators caulk top and bottom before painting and it will stop the edges rolling up/comming away if they are a little dry.
pulling carpet up is easy but most houses dont have hardwood as flooring, its normally pine or boards.
Ok this is starting to sound doable! I think we will paint/wallpaper first, then paint the skirting boards, and then finally deal with the floor. That way if we spill stuff on the floor while painting it will all be going anyway.
As far as wooden floors go, I guess it's pine we're hoping for. Some of the houses we viewed in the same town and of the same vintage had their original pine floors refinished and these looked great. Apparently the pine used in Victorian times was a slower-growing variety that is more hard wearing than the type we use today as I understand it.
Also minty I realised you also suggested YouTube - thanks, good plan.
I hate decorating so pay someone to do it as the finish is great and it lasts. However preparation is the key if you do it yourself. Use good quality paint too.
You can get paper where you paste the wall first btw. Would be easier though I would avoid papering if possible. Painting is much easier.
Many many years ago I bought a flat just like that. Took up the greasy carpet and lo and behold, parquet. Hired a sander, bought some varnish (might not have been varnish but it was specialist wood floor stuff). Looked fantastic - 18x12 room and the hall and it only took about four hours. Also painted that flat throughout - it took me a weekend a room - sanded, washed down, painted walls and glossed.
Depends on how old is your house. Mine is Victorian. I was very short of cash when we moved in, so I did decorate myself. I sanded and varnished the floorboards, removed old carpets, painted/wallpapered the walls and laid a massive sheet of vinyl flooring all by myself.
As others say, it took long evenings and nights (I did a lot of things overnight when DC were in bed) and the finish is not that great. If it was post 1970 house, it may look better, but with old houses is so much more difficult to get professional look.
Also, there were lots of things I could not do myself (blown plaster or not enough sockets) so I just covered it up or left it but I still know it needs doing.
If I was you I would probably remove old dirt (wallpaper/carpet) and live with bare floorboards or just paint walls white; then save for and tackle rooms one by one professionally, including electrics, plaster etc.
Good luck with it!
Oh no notjusta -did you buy it from someone who didn't like you?
If you are going to do the ceilings look at getting (or hiring) a movable platform...much easier than faffing with a ladder
(And if you get any ladder for decorating get nice wide rungs - steps - I didn't and it is agony on my feet after an hour or so)
If you go for stripped wooden floor be prepared for them to be noisy - and downstairs if you can get underneath easily look at insulating them - definitely seal up all the gaps between the boards well and around the edges under the skirtings.
Keep some of your sawdust from the last sanding (should be same colour as boards) and mix it with clear drying PVA - should make a good between board sealant ...
Two things to be careful of though - I've done this to cover nail holes in the top of an old table and for some reason the sawdust/PVA dried black! (Had to dig it out - so test it before you use it!)
And if you need to get under the floor in the future to get to pipes, electrics etc you have effectively glues the boards together, makes them impossible to lift without cutting ...
So if you have access hatches (you probably will have if you have central heating pipes now running under) don't glue the boards together there
Downstairs if you don't have any now think about where you could put them (in cupboard etc - as long as someone can crawl under the whole floor area)!
Upstairs sealing shouldn't be as important - not as draughty
And trickier cos no crawl space - so workmen have to make more access points/lift whole boards...
We do it all.
It's such hard work.
But it's worth it for the money saved.
At least it's not often required
Dh has decorated in the past but we get someone in now.
The whole house needs repainting at the moment especially hall and stairs, but I can't face the disruption.

Doghouse – Tiny Computers
Small Boards
A choice of ultrasmall boards lets future developers learn how to create and program computers.
As some of you know, I started university studying electrical engineering after having three years of electronics in high school. In electronics classes, we spent about half our time taking apart old televisions and radios to get the parts we needed to design and build new ones. We studied the fundamentals of tubes ("valves" to the British) and learned how to build logic gates out of relays, tubes, and these relatively new things called "transistors" – integrated circuits were far in the future. Engineers also practiced soldering and wire wrapping along with their design skills. I remember paying US$ 1.50 for a single transistor – and more if it was "special," such as a power transistor.

Remember Halfbike by Kolelinia from last year?
Yesterday, just before I went to bed I saw the new, Halfbike II Kickstarter campaign started.
And today, just 24 hrs later they have already reached their goal of 50 K dollars!
Halfbike is both compact and light, so you can take it practically everywhere with you. Since it's foldable, you'd be allowed to take it onboard most public transit systems. When folded, a Halfbike fits easily in the trunk of even a small car, under your desk at work or in an overcrowded closet. You can put it inside a lift and even easily carry it when you need to take the stairs, for it is under 18 pounds and quite small. Basically a Halfbike would fit into most spaces too small for a regular bike.

U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), a senior member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, issued the following statement today after the union representing professional and technical engineers announced their opposition to the Gang of Eight immigration bill:
"Congress should listen to the warning from the engineers' union about the Gang of Eight immigration bill. The union notes that "it is not appropriate or fair for politicians to trade the jobs of American workers--in this case STEM workers--in exchange for a path to citizenship'--which is essentially the deal that has been struck not only for tech companies, but for the entire business lobby. In exchange for a path to citizenship demanded by interest groups on the left, the bill irresponsibly surges the number of nonimmigrant low-skill and high-skill guest workers and permanent future immigration, including non-merit based chain migration, at a time when a record number of Americans have exited the labor force.
The engineers' union explains that under the current proposal "[h]undreds of thousands of foreign STEM workers--engineers, scientists, and others--will enter the United States each year for the sole purpose of working in jobs that Americans would normally do. These are jobs that are currently being performed by highly educated and skilled workers, and jobs on the horizon that millions of American STEM students attending our colleges and universities plan to fill.' The union says that the legislation "sold these workers and students down the river, in favor of catering to the high-tech industry's interest in gaining unfettered access to cheap labor from all across the globe.'
For the most part, those in the H-1B program do not become business owners and job creators and do not become immigrants. Rather, they are temporary workers who take jobs at lower pay until they are sent home. This sharp rise in temporary foreign labor is favored by the tech lobby because, as the union notes, the "H-1B worker is bound to a single company for years without any ability to move from one employer to another.'
There is no doubt that this legislation will hurt struggling U.S. workers--immigrant and native born, union and non-union, poor and middle class--a fact about which too many politicians and labor leaders have been much too silent. Whether the interests of the American people are answered in the coming days--or ignored--will be an important test of our Democracy."

Car Lands Sleeping Man
February 1, 2012 by staff
Car Lands Sleeping Man, A CONNECTICUT man has been left with third-degree burns after a high-speed car chase ended in his bedroom. While 34-year-old Michael Sweat lay pinned under the BMW X5, the driver fled the scene, The Hartford Courant reported.
It took firefighters over an hour to remove Mr Sweat from his rented New Haven home.
Mr Sweat, who was sleeping when the car barreled through his home, suffered second and third-degree burns on the lower part of his body but is expected to survive.
It is unclear how the driver evaded the police after the crash, and no description of the suspect was immediately available.
The chase began when the driver failed to stop for police in Hamden after committing traffic violations.
Police attempted to deflate the SUV's tires with "stop sticks", but the driver successfully swerved to avoid them.
The chase then continued into New Haven, where police maintained their pursuit through the campus of Southern Connecticut State University.
The car chase ended when the driver lost control and crashed into Mr Sweat's home.
New Haven Police Officer David B Hartman called the work of firefighters to save the trapped Mr Sweat "heroic".

Four generations of Knotlace lovers – me (Emma), Lynne (my mum), Katie (my daughter), Dodo (my 95 year old grandma)
Dear friends,
After 2 fantastic years (virtually to the day) since starting Knotlace, I am moving on and overseas with my young family.
I started Knotlace to empower women to look and feel good about themselves having received so many compliments whilst wearing my bendy necklace over the last few years. It has been great to be able to share this fabulous accessory with people across Australia and around the world. It has honestly exceeded all my expectations.
It has been an amazing journey starting a new business and meeting and working with so many fantastic individuals and organisations in the process. The wonders of social media in particular have led to partnerships with people in New Zealand, the US and UK from bloggers, celebs, grandmas, mums and tweens. I just love that Knotlace is loved by women of all ages all over the place!
It has also been amazing to support several wonderful organisations too through fundraising and hopefully awareness raising too including beyondblue, The National Breast Cancer Foundation, The Red Cross and Assist a Sista.
So thank you to all those who have supported my journey with Knotlace, it has been an interesting one (as all good journeys are). It has been an amazing learning experience, particularly when you have a young family and no background in business. But thanks to many other business people, networking groups and the community that we have developed I can honestly say it has been a journey that I have never felt alone in.
I am sure that Knotlace will go from strength to strength with its new owner, Stacey.
Thanks once again and most of all enjoy!
PS – In case you are interested, we are actually moving to Costa Rica with my husband's work so I will be exploring a new adventure there. If you would like to connect, I will still be over on instagram at: brightspotsfocus

An Improved Certified E-Mail Protocol Based on Author Based Selective Receipt
Now-a-days, e-mail has become one of the most widely used communication medium. Because of its low cost characteristics and rapid delivery of messages, e-mail is increasingly used in place of ordinary mail. However, the e-mail service exposes users to several risks related to the lack of security during the message exchange. Furthermore, regular mail offers services which are usually not provided by e-mail, and which are of crucial importance for "Official" events. Certified e-mail tries to provide users with additional guarantees on the content and the delivery of the messages, making e-mail equivalent and in some cases more convenient than the ordinary paper-based mail service.

Jeff Owens hasn't participated in a full practice in 11 months, and he nearly missed his triumphant return. He spent the weekend in New York and a weekend bomb scare at the airport delayed his return until Monday afternoon, arriving back in Athens just a few minutes before the team's first meeting.
The hectic journey paled in comparison to the work he put in to rehab a torn ACL, however, but after one day of practice the effort seems to have paid off.
"I think I did quite well," Owens said. "I even conditioned with the team and I wasn't held out of anything. I think it's going pretty good."
That doesn't mean the practice was easy, however.
Georgia spent nearly three hours on the practice field Tuesday, the team's first practice session with coaches since April. The players only donned shorts and practice jerseys and there was no contact, but brushing away the cobwebs still meant breaking a pretty hearty sweat.
"The first day's always tough," Owens said. "It was tough for me, but overall, I think it went pretty well on both sides of the ball. The guys competed and got after it."
Tuesday not only marked Owens return from injury, but it was also the first chance coaches had to meet with Georgia's incoming freshmen class.
The findings on Day 1 weren't significantly different from the reports coaches had gotten from players throughout a summer of voluntary workouts – the freshmen were prepared and eager to learn more.
"When you can walk into a meeting room for the first time with guys this morning and ask them some questions and they can fire the answer back at you, it certainly means a lot at this point," tight ends coach John Lilly said.
Georgia will practice in shorts again today before putting on shells for the next three days of practice. Monday will feature two practice sessions, including the first with full pads and contact.
"It won't be the same until you get into your first day of pads and contact," safety Bryan Evans said. "We've been running all summer, but when you put on the weight and start banging on each other, that's when you really see where our team is at physically."
The Bulldogs' first practice session may have been an eye-opener for many of the new faces on campus, but freshman tight end Orson Charles couldn't get enough.
After wowing his teammates during voluntary workouts this summer, Charles gave coaches a taste of his high-energy approach, and offensive coordinator Mike Bobo was impressed.
"He loves to play." Bobo said. "He wanted to take every rep. He didn't want to sit out a single play. He's hungry, and when the ball was thrown to him today, he made some catches. He didn't know everything that was going on, but neither did A.J. Green last year, but he made plays."
The comparisons to Green are impressive enough, but the Georgia wide receiver said Charles actually reminds him more of another prominent Bulldog.
"He reminds me of Knowshon a little bit," Green said of Charles. "He's got one of those motors that never stops."
Before his team took the field for its first day of practice a year ago, Mark Richt spent the morning answering questions about two players who had been arrested and a third who earned a suspension for damaging property at a local hospital. So when a reporter asked about the quiet offseason this year, Richt's response was relief.
"Amen," he said with a laugh.
The troublesome offseason a year ago foreshadowed a problematic season on the field in which Georgia was among the most penalized teams in the nation. Richt said his hope is that the trouble-free break this year will be precede a similar on-field turnaround.
"Have we been a more disciplined team from January to August than we were a year ago? To this point, we have," Richt said. "We hope that will translate to being a more disciplined team on the field."

Practice Notes: Fine First Day

If you have a chance to peruse our kickoff reps, I have a few areas of concern. I'd greatly appreciate accounts of Bogotay's touchback potential, whether Fabris is still married to directional kicking, and also the mix of players used in kickoffs (i.e. 3-4 lb, 3-4 db, a couple of wr/rb, etc.)
I may not be remembering correctly, but I thought you said that with last season, coaches let the media watch the first 30 minutes of practice, which I thought might be special teams drills. (Man that sentence structure sucked.)
I apologize in advance for any typos, run-ons, et al or a tone of general incomprehensibility. As a rule, I try to get my correspondence completed before taking Ambien.
As always, thanks for the top notch work.

Carter -- I've got a special teams story on the way in the next few days. Richt did say today he expected more scholarship guys on the coverage teams. I've also been told from some reliable people that the directional kicking will still be the game plan, but perhaps with a few new twists this year.
And sentence structure after midnight is graded on a curve!

David, thanks for for your top notch coverage. One of the maddening special teams issues for me that last few years is our insistence on using a single deep return man on KO returns. We are one of the only teams in the nation that does this. It makes no sense. If that ball is kicked in between the numbers and sideline, our return guy has to run 20 yards just go catch the ball.
I'm wondering if we're still going to do this. It's maddening

Dr. Lee is a member of The Foundation for Professional Wellness who devotes his time as a motivational keynote speaker on various health topics at no charge in our community.
Chiropractor Ellijay GA
Welcome to The Office of Robert Lee, D.C., P.C. located in Ellijay. Chiropractic is one of the most amazing healthcare professions, but very few people understand what it's all about. This article is here to help you gain a basic understanding of how our Ellijay chiropractors can help you and your family.
The Office of Robert Lee, D.C., P.C.
Chiropractic care is the practice of using spinal alignment to alleviate a wide variety of physical ailments, including muscle strain, neck pain, chronic back pain, and more. This is accomplished by adjusting the position of the spinal column to its proper shape, providing a non-invasive solution for pain relief.
How Can Chiropractic Care Help You?
Many people dismiss chiropractic as being something only for back pain, but chiropractic treatment can be used to treat a wide variety of physical issues, such as migraines and headaches, chronic pain, carpal tunnel, pain due to injury or muscle strain, and much more.
The History of Chiropractic Care
The word "Chiropractic" is derived from the Greek words "cheir" (hand) and "praktos" (done) combined to mean "done by hand." It was chosen by the developer of chiropractic care, Daniel David Palmer. In 1895, D.D. Palmer performed a chiropractic adjustment on a partially deaf janitor, Harvey Lillard, who later reported that his hearing had improved due to the change.
D.D. Palmer opened the first chiropractic school two years later, and in the century since, chiropractic professionals have used spinal adjustments to help people prevent and cope with back pain, carpal tunnel, muscle strain, headaches and migraines, and a variety of other physical ailments. Millions of people benefit from the work of Dr. Palmer today.
What Kind of Training Does a Chiropractor Have?
Chiropractic doctors go through a minimum of four years of schooling at a chiropractic college, generally preceded by an undergraduate degree in the basic sciences or several years of experience in a prior relevant health care field.
Students of chiropractic care must spend a minimum of at least 4,200 hours with their teacher, and a minimum of 1,000 hours of fully supervised clinical training with an instructor as they learn the appropriate diagnosis and treatment techniques to help heal your body and restore it to its natural, fully functioning state.
At The Office of Robert Lee, D.C., P.C. our chiropractic team is ready to meet with you to discuss your needs. We will help to design a program that is right for you. We look forward to meeting you.
|8:30am - 6:00pm
|1:00pm - 6:00pm

|8:30am - 6:00pm
We are now enrolled in the VA Choice 40-Mile Program (If a veteran lives more than 40 miles (driving distance) from the nearest VA facility, you may qualify for Chiropractic care under the VA Choice 40-Mile Program.) To enroll or if a Veteran has questions about the Program, he/she can call (866) 606-8198--(Paperwork must be initiated at the VA).

Fall Mushroom Festivals

How to Make Money with Free Mobile App?
How to Make Money with Free Mobile Application?
The main purpose of the mobile app development is to make money or increase business performance. But, every person or business who wants to develop mobile app ask themselves that how I can make money with free app. If you are developing a mobile app as a business owner to enhance your customer experience, then you no need to worry more about monetizing your app. Because you can generate revenue from product or service purchasing through your app.
If you are new to the business world, you don't have any product or service to offer, but you have only an app idea, then you definitely need an app monetization strategy.
Below are detailed different app monetization strategies that you can consider to make the most of your mobile app:
1. Freemium Version: In this, you offer app free for few weeks or months. After that if the user wants to continue using the app, he need to go for premium version, for that you can set a fixed amount on monthly or yearly basis.
2. In-App Purchases: In this method, you offer the app for free of cost, but to get more features and functionalities, you encourage users to go for in-app purchases. For instance, your chat app contains text messaging and voice calling facilities. But if your customers need video calling facility that you have, then you can offer them that as a premium feature. This is like a premium feature in many games, in which if a gamer wants to go for next level, he purchase those features.
3. Ads: This is very lucrative compared to other methods, in which you will allow advertisers to place their ads in your app, the ad may be about their app or products or services. In this, advertiser use AdMob (in case of Android) and iAd (in case of iOS) system to place their ad in your app.
Below are listed different types of app ads:
• Interstitial/fullscreen: This ad is shown at the end or immediately after exiting the app or game.
• Capture form: Capture form ad is in the form of a contact form, which asks users to submit it by filling the required details like email, name and contact number etc.
• Advanced overlay: This ad generally consists of a form for users to sign up to a service, purchase products or download an app.
• Banner ads: Banner ad is generally less width ad but it stretches from left end to the right end of the screen in the extreme down point of just above the extreme down point of the screen.
• Notification: Notification ad is shown as a push notification on the device's status bar.
4. CPI Networks (Cost Per Install): In this method, you will enter into an agreement with other app owner to publish their app ad in your app. They will pay you on the basis of number of app installs.
5. Sponsorship: This is the one time deal and most profitable. In this, you will approach a brand to sponsor your app venture. You can reach out sponsor before developing the app or after the app is developed. If you want to reach out before, you should impress them with your app idea. If you want to reach out after, you should show them the number of downloads or type of users you've achieved.
Once you've got sponsor, you will show their brand logo, content or image at a fixed place of the app screen or how they want for agreed time period for set amount.
- In order to get the attention of advertisers, your app should be attractive, easy to place ads and have more downloads.
- There are few differences between add policies of iOS and Android.

New Camera - Canon 500D
I've been looking to buy a digital SLR camera for a long time however the cost has always put me off. I recently decided I had waited long enough and upgraded my Fujifilm Finepix F70EXR to a Canon 500D. The F70EXR was a perfectly capable point and shoot camera but it lacked the complete photographic control that only a DSLR can provide.
I've only had the camera a few weeks but so far I have been very happy with the results. I currently own just the kit lens (18-55mm) but after reading lots of reviews I intend to purchase the Canon 50mm f1.8 as soon as possible.
One of the things that has surprised me the most are the videos produced by the camera. The quality is excellent and it is possible to produce some very interesting results though using a shallow depth of field. Unfortunately unlike the 550D this 500D allows very limited control over the cameras operation while in video mode.
I will post some pictures in the next few days.

4. Star Charting Functions
Four main types of star charts are implemented in Scientific Astronomer. They are created by the functions RadialStarChart, ZenithStarChart, CompassStarChart, and StarChart. A fifth star charting function is Planisphere.
Why Four Star Charts?
Each star charting function has its own advantages and disadvantages. For instance, StarChart works quickly because it simply draws a direct map of the ascension and declination coordinates of each star. However, this function is really only suitable for charting close to the celestial equator, as there is considerable distortion near the celestial poles. To overcome this problem, RadialStarChart can be used.
RadialStarChart can plot any part of the sky with little or no distortion in the center of the chart. Some distortion may occur on the edges if the field of view is large. This function is slower than StarChart because it has to transform the raw star positions as a function of the field of view. One feature of both StarChart and RadialStarChart is that they can zoom into small regions. They are not good at encompassing large fields of view; the two global star chart functions are more useful in this case.
ZenithStarChart and CompassStarChart can plot only large global sections of the sky. They do this in such a way as to minimize distortion as much as possible. With ZenithStarChart, the full sky above the local horizon and up to the zenith point is displayed. There is little or no distortion in the center, which is the zenith point, but around the edges and along the horizon there is some stretching. CompassStarChart takes the opposite tack and has no distortion along the horizon, but in order to do this it can display only one half of the sky above the horizon.

Stars and Constellations
In EquatorCoordinates, HorizonCoordinates, and many other functions, you can specify a star as well as a planet, asteriod, or any other celestial object. Stars are specified using a dot notation to separate star label and constellation name, that is, star.constellation. The sky is arbitrarily divided up into a standard set of 88 constellations.
Here is a list of the 88 constellations.
Andromeda Cygnus Orion
Antlia Delphinus Pavo
Apus Dorado Pegasus
Aquarius Draco Perseus
Aquila Equuleus Phoenix
Ara Eridanus Pictor
Aries Fornax Pisces
Auriga Gemini PiscisAustrinus

Prior to 1930, there was no agreement on constellation boundaries and names-different authors often used different systems. In 1930, astronomers decided to rationalize the system and have 88 constellations and give them all Latin names. This internationally recognized system is used by Scientific Astronomer. In this system the popularly known Scorpio is referred to as Scorpius. Similarly the Big Dipper is referred to as Ursa Major, which in Latin means Great Bear.
Within each constellation, individual stars are typically labeled with Greek letters. The letter (alpha) is usually, but not always, the brightest star in a given constellation. The convention for the full name of a star is to use the Greek letter followed by the possessive form of the constellation name. In Latin, the possessive form of Centaurus is Centauri therefore the brightest star in the constellation of Centaurus is known as (alpha) Centauri. In Scientific Astronomer, however, this star is referred to as Alpha.Centaurus-that is, the nonpossessive form of the constellation name is used and a dot is used to separate star label and constellation name. Similarly, the brightest star in Ursa Major is (alpha) Ursae Majoris, but in Scientific Astronomer it is referred to as Alpha.UrsaMajor.
Bright Star Names
The 25 brightest stars are also given special names in Scientific Astronomer. For instance, there is Sirius, which is the same as Alpha.CanisMajor; and also Polaris, which is the same as Alpha.UrsaMinor.
As normal, basic information about an object is obtained by using the ? function.
BrightStar is a Mathematica context that contains all the stars down to magnitude 1.5, but also includes Polaris at magnitude 2.02. Additionally, it includes the eclipsing variable star Algol and the wide double star Mizar.
Achernar Altair Canopus Mizar Rigel
Acrux Antares Capella Polaris RigilKent
Adhara Arcturus Castor Pollux Sirius
Agena Becrux Deneb Procyon Spica
Aldebaran Bellatrix Fomalhaut Regulus Vega
Algol Betelgeuse Gacrux
Sirius is an alias for Alpha.CanisMajor or (alpha) Canis Majoris.
The SetStars Function
If you have your own list of stars, or you want to modify the current list of stars, you need to use SetStars.
Setting the stars to use in the package.
Each star in the star list should consist of a constellation name, star name, magnitude, ascension (in degrees, not hours), and declination (in degrees).
You rarely need to use this function, which simply sets a value for the list TheStars. Initially this list is set to the value of the list Stars300, but if you load <<Astronomer`Star3000`; then it is set to Stars3000.Similarly, it can be set to Stars9000.You can use the option MagnitudeRange to filter out a subset of the stars.
This loads 3,000 extra stars and automatically calls SetStars to make them available.

It's that time of the year again... END OF WINTER CLEARANCE!!! I am always looking for a good deal and end of season is when I usually find the best ones. I know some of you are thinking "I don't know what size my kids will be in next winter" That's how I use to think too. What you can do is buy the things that get used all year long. For example in my house we always look for a good deal on tee shirts, hoodies (they are great on those chilly summer nights) pants, socks and tights. Yesterday I went to sears and spent less than $9 and got two pairs of pants and a shirt for my daughter. They also have kids coats and snowsuit for $14.99. Gymboree has a $10.99 and UNDER sale this week online and in stores. Another great place to go would be Burlington coat factory. They have good prices to begin with so once there stuff go on clearance you are getting a steal. Another great thing to look out for right now is clearance Valentine's day stuff.
Happy shopping and if you find a great deal you just have to share let me know!

The U-N Security Council says the threat by the Taleban to close Afghanistan's airspace could aggravate the country's humanitarian crisis.
Security Council President Alfonso Valdiviezo of Colombia made the comment Wednesday after Taleban rulers threatened to ban international flights to and from the country. The Taleban movement is angry about U-N sanctions against its national airline.
Hundreds of thousands of Afghans now rely on a international food aid. Mr. Valdiviezo says if the Taleban were to ban flights it would worsen the country's humanitarian situation.
The U-N Security Council says it is considering what it calls a new comprehensive approach to Afghanistan. It says the idea is to develop an overall strategy to convince the Taleban to cooperate with the international community.
