Love comes easy to people when times are easy. I mean look at the Bachelor. Everyone is in love on that show. But when times are hard, that's the real test of love. And that's probably why the couples on the Bachelor rarely last after the show. This test determines the strength of your relationship and the strength of your love for each other. How will your relationship fare when the days aren't as bright and pretty? How will your relationship fare when you have trials working to pull you apart?
Bear and I experienced a small trial in our relationship. Since the end of June, we have been looking for a car. We weren't looking for the perfect car but just a car. A car to get him back and forth to work without breaking down along the way. Every spare minute together was spent driving back and forth to dealerships and car lots.
In the beginning, we drove there with hope and joy about the search for a car. The ride home was replaced with disappointment and anger. Toward the end of the process, we learned to keep our hope tucked away. Instead of hope, we were full of skepticism and doubt any time we ventured out.
The constant disappointment started to weight on us. Bear is a usually jovial person but there were times when he would just sit quietly to himself. I could see that his mind was off somewhere. The struggle of finding a car was eating at him.
I was fighting my own frustration. I have so much on my plate, and I was beyond upset with all the time we wasted searching for a car. I took a day off from work. I put all my plans on hold so that I could help him. I put this blog on hold. I started to miss our carefree days spent lounging on the couch or traveling into the city. It hurt me that I couldn't do more for him.
Things around the house were somber. We had moments of laughter but the mental and physical stress of car hunting was making it hard to be happy.
One day in the middle of deep thought, I realized that not once during this struggle had we turned on each other. Not once did we fight with each other about the situation. And there were times when I could've been a bitch about it. There were times when I could've made it difficult for him. There were times when he could've turned his frustration into anger against me. But instead, we worked together.
I mentioned this to him and of course, he shrugged it off. He saw it as no great feat but I am proud of us. No one wishes bad on themselves but I am happy that our relationship went through this test unscathed. It makes me feel confident that down the rode, when trouble strikes again, we'll stand strong.

Quotation added by staff
...and his fault was that he was not quite sure that anything in the world could really be as candid as this request of Miss Stackpole's appeared. That a young woman should demand that a gentleman whom she described as her very dear friend should be furnished with an opportunity to make himself agreeable to another young woman, a young woman whose attention had wandered and whose charms were greater--this was an anomaly which for the moment challenged all his ingenuity of interpretation.To read between the lines was easier than to follow the text.and to suppose that Miss Stackpole wished the gentleman invited to Gardencourt on her own account was the sign not so much of a vulgar as of an embarrassed mind. Even from this venial act of vulgarity, however, Ralph was saved, and saved by a force that I can only speak of as inspiration. With no more outward light on the subject than he already possessed he suddenly acquired the conviction that it would be a sovereign injustice to the correspondent of the Interviewer to assign a...

Tag Archives: expository dictionary of new testament words
Introduction: Apostolos (Greek for apostle) is a compound word made up of apo, from, and stello, to send; hence, one sent forth (W.E. Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words). Apostle is used officially to denote the twelve (fourteen in all) and unofficially to simply designate one who was commissioned or sent forth (Matt. 10: 2; Heb. 3: 1).
I. The twelve apostles
A. Any serious study of Christianity necessarily involves a study of the apostles (more later). The twelve apostles are named in such passages as: Matthew 10: 2-4; Mark 3: 16-19; Luke 6: 14-16, and Acts 1: 13.
B.You will observe that the lists of the apostles are grouped by fours into three groups. Peter heads all the lists and Judas Iscariot is last in the Gospel lists. Philip heads the list of the second group in all four of the lists, and James of Alphaeus heads the list of the last group in all four of the lists. Matthias (replacement for Judas who fell) was apostle number thirteen and Paul number fourteen (Acts 1: 15-26; Gal. 1: 1, I Cor. 15; 8 ff).
C. It is evident that there were differences in age, leadership ability, and cultural background (there was no Pope among them).
a. Peter himself was married (as were most of the apostles, I Cor. 9: 5). Peter accepted no special recognition and had to be rebuked by Paul because he sinned (Acts 10: 25, 26; Gal. 2: 11-14).
II. Qualifications for being an apostle
A. The qualification is stated in Acts 1: 21, 22. A man in order to be an apostle had to "companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us" and "…be a witness with us of his resurrection." Hence, there are no apostles today.
a. Paul was "one born out of due time" (I Cor. 15: 8). However, Paul had seen the resurrected Lord (Acts 26: 14-18).
b. There were miraculous signs characteristic of an apostles that evidenced their apostleship (2 Cor. 12: 11, 12).
III. The apostles had miraculous power
A. The apostles possessed miraculous ability as early as the Limited Commission (Matt. 10: 8). They manifestly possessed inspiration and infallibility in their teaching (Matt. 10: 19). However, they were later endowed with greater ability when they were baptized in the Holy Spirit (Jn. 14: 17, notice par umin ,with you; and en umin ,shall be in you, cp. Acts 1: 5-8).
a. The apostles appeared to have possessed all nine gifts of the Spirit and could also impart miracle working ability to others (I Cor. 12: 7-10; Acts 6: 5-8, 8: 13-18). Thus, with the death of the apostles the imparting of miracle working ability ceased (see also I Cor. 13: 8-10). Until Acts 6, only the apostles are said to have performed miracles (Acts 2: 43, 3:6-10, 4: 16, 33, 5: 12).
IV. The apostles were important to the infant church
A. During the initial stage of the Lord's church, the word was in "earthen vessels" (the apostles, 2 Cor. 4: 5-8, I Cor. 14: 37).
B. The truth (all the truth) was to be revealed through the apostles (Jn. 14 – 16). Beginning in Acts 2, the apostles inerrantly articulated the truths of God as the Spirit provided the very words (I Cor. 2: 13). Hence, Paul said "Built upon the foundation of the apostles…" (Eph. 2: 20).
a. The church today continues to be built on the same foundation, as we subject to Jesus' headship and abide in the apostle's doctrine (Eph. 1: 22, 23; Acts 2: 42, 2 Jn. 9-11).
V. The apostles not only provided the truth and scriptures for the early church, but they challenged and refuted all extant error (Acts 15, Phil. 1: 7, 17)
A. The apostles organized local churches by appointing elders to oversee them (Acts 14: 23, Tit. 1: 5 ff, Phili. 1: 1).
VI. The apostles were exemplars to the early church (Phili. 3: 17)
A. The apostles especially serve as examples for preachers (cp. 2 Tim. 1: 13).
B. Preachers today cannot raise the dead and do some of the other works peculiar to the apostolic function, but they can present the same word, challenge error, and commit the same word to faithful men who will teach others (Acts 20: 9 ff; 2 Tim. 2: 1, 2).
VII. The apostle's conduct was not infallible
A. While the teaching and writings of the apostles were inspired and infallible, their conduct or manner of life was not.
B. The apostles as men were often wrong and had to be rebuked by Jesus, especially in the beginning (Matt. 18: 1-3). The apostles exhibited weakness when they all forsook Jesus when he was crucified (Matt. 26: 56). Peter had to be publicly rebuked because of his sin (Gal. 2: 11-14). In the First Century, as well as today, there were "false apostles" (2 Cor. 11: 12, 13-15). By a simple test, however, false apostles can be exposed (Rev. 2: 2).
VIII. Facts regarding the Twelve apostles
A. Peter appears to be the older and is always mentioned first. John's gospel focuses on Andrew more than the other apostles. James and John were cousins of Jesus and known for their animated dispositions (Mk. 15: 40, Matt. 27: 56, Jn. 19: 25; Mk. 3: 17).
B. James, John, and Peter had been partners in a commercial fishing business (Lk. 5: 10). Peter and John (believed to have been the youngest) appear especially close during the early stages of their work (Acts 4, 5).
C. Peter, James, and John constituted the "inner circle" (Matt. 17: 1-8). John was especially loved by Jesus (Jn. 13: 22 ff).
D. James (John's brother) was the first martyr among the apostles (Acts 12: 44, ca. 44 AD). James/John and Peter/Andrew were brothers (Mk. 3: 17; Matt. 4: 18). There are those who believe that James the less and Matthew were also brothers (Matt. 10: 3, Mk. 2: 14). Thomas was a twin (Jn. 11: 16).
E. There appear to be two apostles by the name of Judas, Judas Iscariot and Thaddaeus (Lk. 6: 16, some believe Thaddaeus was also named Judas, based on this verse and some other comparative deductions).
F. Peter appears to have been the most prolific among the apostles during the first 12 years of Christianity and Paul during the next 17 years (based on Acts 2-13 and 14-28). Paul "labored more abundantly than they all" (I Cor. 15: 10).
G. Judas, the betrayer of Jesus, committed suicide (Matt. 27: 5, 10: 4).
H. Tradition tells us that all but one of the apostles experienced a violet death because of their convictions. Peter reportedly was crucified in 67 AD when he was 75 years old (all references are to Fox's Book of Martyrs), Andrew was also crucified, Philip was reported to have been beaten and crucified in AD 54, Bartholomew was said to have been also beaten and crucified, Thomas was thrust through with a sword, and Matthew was martyred in AD 60. History tells us James the less was stoned and beaten to death with a fuller's club when he was 39, Thaddaeus was crucified in AD 72, and Simon the Canaanite in AD 74. John reportedly lived a long life and died of old age. While the history of the deaths of the apostles is not infallible, Jesus did indicate his apostles would experience unnatural and violet ends to their lives (Matt. 10: 22, 23, Jn. 16: 2). They were intensely hated simply because they taught the truth and would not tolerate error (cp. Jn. 8: 45, 15: 18).
Conclusion: The apostles were instruments through whom God worked to reveal the soul saving gospel and to establish his Kingdom. They were fisherman (Lk. 5: 10), some appeared to have been disciples of John the Baptist (Jn. 1: 35-41), one was a Zealot (Lk. 6: 15), and one had been a tax collector (Matt. 10: 3). Compared to the orators of the day, many of these men were "unlearned and ignorant" (Acts 4: 13). However, these men played a major part in the launching of the greatest, most humanly important movement this world has ever know, Christianity. In view of the role of the apostles, it is no wonder "And God hath set some in the church, first apostles…" (I Cor. 12: 28). We continue to benefit from the great work the apostles accomplished in receiving and revealing God's eternal truth that can set us free (Jn. 8: 32).

Help the People of Japan!+ A Tribute to Japan's Ingenious Eartquake Engeneering
We would like to use Freshome to make a call to action. We know most of you out there would like to help the people in need in Japan, which is why we will count on your belief in solidarity and recommend a link with a few steps you can follow. From helping people reconnect with their loved ones in the area to forwarding a donation, here is where you can start. In order to be in tune with the content of our sire, we found a video filmed during the massive 8,9 earthquake that struck Japan at 2:46 pm on Friday. We were absolutely amazed to see how the buildings move slightly from left to right while in complete balance. It is not everywhere that seeing something like this is possible, which is why we would like to salute Japan's ingenious earthquake engineering solutions. (photo via BigChief)

Wayne Rooney's future at Manchester United is uncertain as he continues to be linked to a move away
Sometimes its best to go your separate ways. You've achieved as much as you can together and its best to depart on amicable terms. Nope, its not what tons of couples up and down the country are thinking – it is the sensitive guff that usually accompanies the opening paragraph of a summer transfer story. Wayne Rooney has been one of Manchester United's greatest players in history. He has netted more goals than George Best, Ruud van Nistelrooy & Dennis Viollet and is closing in on Jack Rowley – but his future is uncertain at Manchester United.
It is nine seasons since an eighteen year old Evertonian walked through the Old Trafford doors, fresh from Euro 2004, to sign for the club. Will United's troubled number ten pack up his things and leave for pastures new? Or will the new gaffer be able to turn Rooney's fortunes around?

Pilgrim Hall Museum
A visit to the Pilgrim Hall Museum (75 Court St., 508/746-1620, www.pilgrimhall.org, 9:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. daily Feb.–Dec., $7 adults, $6 seniors, $4 children 5–17, free children under 5) can be as educational as one to Plimoth Plantation, if a tad bit less fun. Exhibits include displays of artifacts and possessions of the Pilgrims (aka Separatists) from both England and Holland, explanations detailing their transatlantic sojourn, the first contact with the Wampanoags, and accounts of the first Thanksgiving.
National Monument to the Forefathers
In honor of Miles Standish, William Bradford, and the rest of the gang, stands the 81-foot-high National Monument to the Forefathers (Allerton St., one block from Plymouth Rock), a solid-granite statue erected in 1889. Two abutting tablets list the names of each original Mayflower passenger.
Lobster Tales Pirate Cruises
Bearing little if any connection at all to Plymouth's legitimate historic sites, but entirely fun regardless, are the Lobster Tales Pirate Cruises (Town Wharf, 508/746-5342, www.lobstertalesinc.com, May–Oct., call for times, $18). On these cruises little buccaneers are offered face paint and pirate hats as the ship sets sail to do battle and reclaim a treasure chest in the harbor. Gimmicky? Of course. But when the kids have gotten antsy from an overload of education, it's the ideal fix.
Jenney Grist Mill
Witness the way corn was ground during the time of the Pilgrims at the rebuilt Jenney Grist Mill (6 Spring Ln., Plymouth, 508/747-4544, www.jenneygristmill.com, 9:30 a.m.–5 p.m. Mon.–Sat., noon–5 p.m. Sun., Apr.–Nov.; closed Dec.–Mar., $6 adults, free youth under 17); the original, owned by Pilgrim John Jenney, was destroyed by a fire in 1847. Today the mill makes for a fun family outing, with tours, a spring herring run in the abutting pond, and a general store peddling freshly ground corn and penny candy.

Homicide rate surges in Chicago
CHICAGO – Maybe it is the splintering of established drug gangs that has young men grabbing the tools of their trade – handguns – to jockey for position? Or is it that rival gangs, once miles apart in different public housing complexes, suddenly find themselves sharing the same street corner?
Whatever the reasons, Chicago has seen a spike in its homicide rate – with eight killed and at least 35 wounded in a spasm of gunfire last weekend alone – that has authorities scrambling to put more police on the street and some frightened residents retreating deep into their homes.
To be sure, the violence is nowhere near its historical peak of the early 1990s when Chicago recorded roughly 900 homicides per year. But from Jan. 1 through late May there were 203 homicides, an increase of more than 50 percent over the 134 during the same period in 2011.

Quote from: James Register on Sep 01, 2009, 10:45 AMSorry I have an aversion to anything written by westside. They still seem low but it is going to depend how many exercises you do and how often. the russians may have done so many varitaions that this makes sense and actually do much more than myself overall.Prilepin was one of the greatest weightlifting coaches EVER. This chart came from his research during his coaching career. Let's list some of the athletes he has trained: Olympic champions Yurik Vardanyan, Yuri Zakharevitch, Leonid Taranenko, Oksen Mirzoyan, Israel Arsamakov; Olympic silver medalists Yurik Sarkisyan and Alexander Pervy; world champions Anatoli Pisarenko, Viktor Sots, Pavel Syrchin, Sergei Arakelov, Vyacheslav Klokov.For a further breakdown of the chart:Snatches / CnJ : 60-80%(up to 6rep/set) 80-90%(up to 4r) 90-100%(up to 2r) 100%+ (1r)Snatch and Clean Pull: 70-80%(4-5r) 80-90%(3-4r) 90-100%(2-3r) 100-110%(1-3r) 110%+(1-2r)Squats, Bend-overs, Presses: 50-60%(4-8r) 60-70%(4-6r) 70-80%(4-5r) 80-90%(3-4r) 90-100%(2-3r) 100%+(1r)"Additional exercises": 70-80%(5-8r) 80-90%(4-6r)As for generally what is best % and rep range to work at, L.S. Dvorkin did an experiment to test the effect of training load over a prolonged period of time on different qualifications of weightlifters. Basically the results he obtained were that in the classic lifts, working 70-80% (3-4rep/set) made the highest gains with all qualifications, although the higher qualified lifters also improved nearly as well with 80-90% (1-2rep/set). With the back squat, 70-80% (3-4rep/set) made the most improvement.
Sorry I have an aversion to anything written by westside. They still seem low but it is going to depend how many exercises you do and how often. the russians may have done so many varitaions that this makes sense and actually do much more than myself overall.
the question is this; How long a break are you supposed to take between reps?Is it supposed to be like a cluster set, where you can have a 30 second break from when you finish a rep and start the next? Or is it literally one after another, without your hands leaving the bar? (this seems very intense, and hard to do with around 90% of your max)So what is it?
Quote from: James Register on Sep 03, 2009, 12:07 AMI see, thanks. Good information.Were there any theories as to why this worked? How often were maximums tested, so could theh %ages have been from competitive lifts done a few months earler? Or more regular testing in training?And I think there were other reasons for the Soviet domination!!They were tested for new maximums every 2 months and the 6 month progress always had 70-80% with the highest gains.From the results, basically newer weightlifters should stick to the lower end of 70-80%, regular weightlifters 70-80%, advanced the higher end of 70-80% with a lot more 90% lifts as well. For the back squat all lifters 70-80%. It is not to say you can't do more or less on a given day, but you should be able to see that your average working weight is in that range.
I see, thanks. Good information.Were there any theories as to why this worked? How often were maximums tested, so could theh %ages have been from competitive lifts done a few months earler? Or more regular testing in training?And I think there were other reasons for the Soviet domination!!
You seem to have a lot of knowledge concerning the Russian data. This information is very similar to the effect size noticed by Rhea in his research. Some have criticized the studies he has included, but this helps back up his findings. He found that 80% of the 1 RM was the best average intensity for intermediates, and 85% for elite.I am not an Olympic lifter, but I came to this site to learn from it and apply proven methods to bodyweight progressions on my own. Recently, I have become very interested in Prilepin and how to apply his findings. The one thing I've discovered is that following his table will reduce the change of over-reaching in a workout. Is it safe to assume Prilepin stayed in the same average intensity as Kvorkin? There is much information concerning how he increased the number of 90+% lifts per month from other Russians, but no real range of average intensity has been reported that I know of. Unless it didn't exist, and he based the average intensity on whatever his trainees responded to. Even then, I would assume an effective range was discovered (Ex: 70-86%, or something of that nature). Additionally, I'd be interested in knowing under what frequencies was the Prilepin table founded on. Some have told me they assume 3x a week at least, but some of my estimates lead me to believe between 4 and 6 times a week.
Personally, I believe Prilepin won out judging from the training videos and pictures I've seen of the Russian national team now. You can also look at the success of the Bulgarians with Abadjiev, for the most extreme example. You could say Prilepin was a precursor to the modern Chinese training methods of frequent 90%+ lifts with a ton of assistance, except the Chinese even train the beginners this way.
As for the frequencies, there is so little English literature on Prilepin but so much on Roman and Medvedyev. Both Medvedyev and Roman pretty much say to train every other day, so 3-4 times a week. Then by Candidate to Master of Sport (~70% of world record results) the training is 5-7 days a week, of that 2-3 days a week are double sessions.

A short boat ride from the South East coast of Bali is a group of three small islands; Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Penida and Nusa Ceningan. These islands are in the middle of the channel of water separating Bali and Lombok .
Secret Gardens Bungalows and Big Fish Diving on Nusa Lembongan hosted Simon Deane for a week of diving and filming. This was the third visit to Reece and Tim Birkett, for their un-rivalled hospitality and exceptionally relaxed diving 'on-the-doorstep'.
This location generates very health hard coral reefs and amazing assortment of visiting marine life thriving and feeding on the food continually flowing through these deep channels.
This channel of water is a significant connection between the Pacific and Indian Oceans so the currents in this region are strong, moving vast quantities of food for larger fish and proving sometimes unpredictable and hard-work for SCUBA divers.
Though for divers it's worth the effort; the reefs are thriving, both the coral colonies and the attendant reef fish. Also turtles, larger trevallies and manta rays call this area home and there are annual visits by one of the ocean's most unusual fish, the Mola Mola or Ocean Sun Fish. These fish congregate around these islands annually between July and October, it is thought for cleaning but little is known about this species as they are pelagic for most of their lives. See a short movie of Mola Mola here.
Big Fish Diving on Nusa Lembongan provide diving tuition and highly knowledgeable dive guides for this spectacular diving location.

Hawkwind - Hawkwind
While the first Hawkwind album laid the seeds of their sound, it was also different than anything else in their catalog. Part of that comes from the fact that the lineup is different than on any of their other albums. There was also a bit more of a pure psychedelic sound to it, perhaps seeming connected to Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd. The extended CD even has a cover of the Pink Floyd song, "Cymbaline" as a bonus track. Overall, the sound on this album was more organic in some ways, than some of the other music in the Hawkwind catalog. Interestingly enough, the set somehow manages, to this day, to feel both dated and fresh at the same time.
There was one track on the set that became a Hawkwind classic. "Hurry on Sundown," with its progressive rock like lyrics "Look into your mind's eye / See what you can see," had some moments that seemed related to The Doors and included a guitar solo that seemed to feel a bit like Jimi Hendrix. The psychedelic one-two punch of "Paranoia" (parts one and two) has been featured in medleys of Hawkind music over the years in their live performances. The links to early Pink Floyd were quite apparent in that pairing of songs.
While the album's sound and lineup was only present on this one disc, the space rock foundation was formed by the self-titled Hawkwind album. It holds up well to this day. It's the kind of thing to put on and just "space out." There are sections that will have you singing along and others that will lull. Still other points will challenge you to higher levels of consciousness. It's really a quintessential Hawkwind album that is recommended to this day. It's well worth having in any rock fan's collection and certainly required for any real Hawkwind fan. Sure, it sounds different, but it sounds great and has a real "cause and effect" sequence with the music that followed.

Archadeck Outdoor Living Surprises Grand Prize Dream Backyard Makeover Winners
We've been waiting for this day since February 1st! Back in February we launched Archadeck's first Dream Backyard Makeover Contest. For nearly three months we received photo submissions along with descriptions of backyards across the country. From over 2,000 submissions, we narrowed the field down to 6 finalists and opened up Facebook voting then the decision fell in our panelists' hands. They had an extremely difficult time choosing the Grand Prize Winner, but ultimately the decision was made!
On Friday morning, Rick and Merea Bentrott had what they thought was a normal appointment with Harold Cross of Archadeck of Central Iowa. Harold had called earlier in the week asking to see the yard as the last part of the contest decision making process. Little did they know that they had already been named the Grand Prize Winners! When Harold walked them around their house to the backyard, they were greeted with other members of the Archadeck of Central Iowa team, a Belgard representative, balloons, wine and a large sign claiming them the winners. I think their faces say it all:
Rick and Merea were one of our March finalists. Their photo description not only described why and what they wanted in a new backyard space, but it also gave us insight into how fantastic this couple is:
As parents of four kids under ten who, essentially, live outside the majority of the year, we're in dire need of backyard help! Recently, we adopted two incredible kids from foster care and instantly became a family of six. The addition of these little ones enriched our lives, but shrunk our home! Hence, the move to a larger house with good bones and smarter space but also a need for serious updating. Since the move, we've slowly been saving money and fixing up the interior. Unfortunately, the backyard has received little attention as it's been placed at the end of our long list of to-dos. Despite constant competition from technology, my continual goal as a parent is to keep my kids outside playing, imagining, and dreaming. Currently, we rely on a homemade sandbox, trampoline, a rickety, hand-me-down play-set, and deteriorating, wooden deck. My backyard dream is to give my kids a safe, fun place to play and my husband a space to relax with a beer in one hand and grill tongs in the other, standing next to a Green Egg Grill. All I really want for myself is a comfortable spot to sit and watch it all happen.
I was lucky enough to speak briefly with Rick and Merea on Friday and needless to say they were beyond happy and surprised to be chosen our Grand Prize Winners (they are as sweet as can be too!).
After visiting the property, we could tell that it isn't the safest spot to occupy four young active children. The existing deck is deteriorating and splintering which is a cause for concern. Additionally, there are wooden beams on the property that are rotting away.
On Friday's visit, Rick, Merea and Harold discussed their dream backyard project. The outdoor living structure will include both a deck and patio component with products from Archadeck suppliers TimberTech and Belgard. We know that we'll be able to provide the safe and beautiful space that they desire and we'll be sharing each step with you. Next up is the design phase. Armed with the Bentrotts' needs, wants and tastes, Harold is creating a 3D rendering of the space.
More information to come on the 2nd and 3rd place winners.
Congrats to the Bentrotts!
Deck and Patio Installation Begins at Archadeck Headquarters
Several weeks ago, we announced that we at Archadeck Outdoor Living's corporate office are getting a new outdoor living area. We are thrilled to let you know that after some weather delays, we officially broke ground today!
To recap, up until now, our corporate office has been of void of any outdoor living structures (we know, it's sad considering what we do). This year, we decided to change that and designed this custom deck and patio combination project. A large pergola will cover part of deck for shade and built in benches and retaining walls will provide places to sit throughout the space.
Last week all of the patio material was delivered and trust me, it is a lot of pavers. Included in the material is the outdoor fireplace that will be installed on the project.
In preparation for the first phase of building, we had to file for building permits. After the county reviewed our plans and specifications, we were able to grid out the deck and patio on the property. Victor, our Director of Construction and Drafting who is spearheading the build for us, went outside with members of his team and sprayed a pink paint to illustrate where the building will take place. This allows the sub-contractors to envision the space and know exactly where to build. With the paint and permits in place, we were ready to build! Of course, Mother Nature had other plans for us. After a few days of rain, the ground needed to dry out a bit before we started digging. And finally today we were ready!
The first phase of the build is the patio and footings for the deck. This morning, bright and early, bulldozers started digging into our lawn to grade the area. Grading is the process of leveling out the ground. For us, the land that we are building the patio is uneven, sloping down to the road. The bulldozer cuts out the grass and dirt to level the area so that when the patio is built is it sturdy and level. It has been pretty interesting to see the difference in just a day, these guys are fast! Grading is also key for the drainage of the patio. Uneven surfaces hold water and puddle instead of properly draining and may cause future problems.
The footings for the structure will also be dug this week. Footings are the load bearing parts of an outdoor living structure. Before we start building the deck portion of the project, a county inspector will come out and test the ground and evaluate our footings. When they are all given the green light, we will be ready for to start the deck!
Everyone here is more than excited for an outdoor space at the office. On a beautiful day like today, it would be wonderful to have a nice spot to sit and hold a quick meeting while enjoying the sunshine. Our goal in designing the space was to create a combination project that not only features some our most commonly built structures, but also to create a space that is usable. By including the outdoor fireplace and outdoor kitchen, we are ensuring that it is used. The other offices that are part of the building are just as excited to have a space to enjoy the outdoors as well!
Have Your Deck Checked During May's Deck Safety Month
The North American Deck and Railing Association (NADRA) declared May as Deck Safety Month back in 2006. May is the month that many homeowners start to spend extended time outside on their decks as the weather turns nicer. Unfortunately, a lot of homeowners don't have their deck's safety evaluated properly. Just because it is standing, doesn't mean that it is safe!
According to NADRA, there are over 40 million decks in the United States that are over 20 years old. This is a scary idea for deck builders like us at Archadeck. Building and code requirements have changed drastically in the last 20 years. Those decks that were built 20 years ago most likely would not be considered safe or up to code by today's standards.
At Archadeck, we suggest having any deck over 7 years old checked for safety. A professional deck builder can come out to home and check all the components of your existing structure. From there, you should get a list of any issues and how they can be addressed. When we do our deck safety inspections, for example, we often find problems with the deck that can be fixed quickly to extend the life of the structure. There are times, however, that we find that it is best to just replace the deck entirely to ensure that those enjoying it are safe and secure.
So what are deck inspectors looking for when they evaluate your deck? At Archadeck, we use the BE SAFER acronym to explain what we are looking at:
Boards – While most wood decking will show cracks over time, the overall condition of the boards need to be considered.
Every Connection – Hardware is key when considering deck safety. Every connection and fastener should be looked at to ensure safety and stability.
Structure – What is the condition of the posts, beams and joists that make up the skeleton of the deck? Is there any visible sagging?
Attachment – It's imperative to check how the deck was attached to the house as that is where most deck failures occur.
Foundation and Footings – This part of the deck supports the weight of the structure and those who enjoy it. Foundations and footings need to be checked for sinking, sagging and separation from beams.
Exits – Are all of the exits from the deck, like stairs and ramps, in good condition?
Rails – Check that all parts of the railing system, posts, pickets and balusters, are sturdy, properly built and the correct height.
Before you host a barbecue with twenty friends, make sure that you have a deck safety inspection, especially if your deck is more than 7 years old. It will give you the peace of mind that you need to truly enjoy the spring and summer months. Call your local Archadeck Outdoor Living office to set up an inspection at your home.
Curved Deck and Sunroom Add Functional Space to Connecticut Home
When looking at our franchise locations' outdoor living spaces, I always notice the unique ways that deck, porches, patios, sunrooms and other structures add functional space to a home. Space that doesn't serve a purpose is just lost space, right? This project from our sunroom and deck builder in Connecticut is a great example of adding space in a different and interesting way.
The owners of this Devonwood, Connecticut home wanted an addition to their home as well as more outdoor space. Making all of it feel natural to the home was very important as they didn't want anything disjointed. Phil Brown and his Archadeck of Central Connecticut team designed and built a custom sunroom and deck that fulfills all their needs.
The common sunroom is square or rectangular in shape and has windows on three of its sides. Sunrooms allow people to sit and enjoy the nature that surrounds the home without actually being inside. The common sunroom, however, was not what these homeowners wanted. Instead, Archadeck of Central Connecticut designed an octagonal sunroom. Being set on the back of the house, the room is very cozy, but still spacious with enough room for a couch and chairs.
Instead of a flat roof, a gazebo style roof was added to the sunroom. The pine ceiling adds to the warm and cozy atmosphere and the large Anderson windows allow the sunlight to flood in. I love how the windows don't have panes that can obstruct the wooded views of the property. It gives it a very airy impression.
Outside, Phil designed a deck that fit all of the homeowners' needs. The majority of deck space is taken up by the large curved deck below. It serves as a place to sit and eat dinner on a nice New England night. Off the sunroom is a smaller deck that is used to sit and relax and right off the back of the house is a rectangular deck that is the perfect go-between from the house to dining portion. A grill sits on that deck since it is so convenient to the kitchen.
The entire deck was finished with IPE decking. IPE is a very dense Brazilian wood that is rot and insect resistant. It is very durable and will easily stand up against increased traffic and usage. The warm tone of this IPE wood looks gorgeous against the yellow of the home and the wooded areas surrounding the property.
The best deck designs take the homeowners and their passions into account. In this example, one of the homeowners is an avid gardener, so when Phil designed this deck, he wanted a place for her to keep her tools and pots. The grill deck, as a result, also serves as a roof structure for a potting shed below, keeping that covered space as usable. Genius!
If you are looking to enhance your property with the addition of a custom outdoor living space, please contact your local Archadeck Outdoor Living office.

We hired a contractor to rebuild our deck and he did about half the work and abandoned to work sight. After inspection, we found out that nothing was to code and he did not have a contractors license. This was part of our retirement savings and now we will have to wait until we can save up the money to have the deck torn down and rebuilt.
We bought our first house last summer (2012), 3 days after the birth of our first child. It's the "forever house" where we will raise our family. It's a great house, but it needs some TLC here and there. One of those places is the backyard. Our house is on a corner lot and the house is situated at such an angle that the backyard is very exposed to the street. This exposure makes the curb appeal for our back yard as important as our front yard! We would love to have a beautiful new backyard to have parties and hang out with our friends and get to know our new neighbors. And when they all ohh and ahh over our awesome back yard, we'll be sure to tell them that we owe it all to Archedeck! Be sure to leave plenty of business cards because I know we'll be handing them out to friends and passers-by alike! Pick me! : )
As parents of four kids under ten who, essentially, live outside the majority of the year, we're in dire need of backyard help! Recently, we adopted two incredible kids from foster care and instantly became a family of six. The addition of these little ones enriched our lives, but shrunk our home! Hence, the move to a larger house with good bones and smarter space but also a need for serious updating. Since the move, we've slowly been saving money and fixing up the interior. Unfortunately, the backyard has received little attention as it's been placed at the end of our long list of to-dos. Despite constant competition from technology, my continual goal as a parent is to keep my kids outside playing, imagining, and dreaming. Currently, we rely on a homemade sandbox, trampoline, a rickety, hand-me-down play-set, and deteriorating, wooden deck. My backyard dream is to give my kids a safe, fun place to play and my husband a space to relax with a beer in one hand and grill tongs in the other, standing next to a Green Egg Grill. All I really want for myself is a comfortable spot to sit and watch it all happen.
My husband and I are brand new homeowners and first time parents to a son…all within the same year. Both my husband and myself never had a private backyard to play in when we grew up (he grew up in the Bronx and I grew up in Queens, NY). So when we saw this house in Greenwich, CT with a private backyard overlooking a pretty pond we overlooked the ugly red, 1968, totally not up to code, beat up porch and thought this could be a great place to raise a family. We had to do a gut renovation of our house but didn't have the funds to do any work on our backyard. This will be our first summer where our son can really enjoy the outdoors so we would love the opportunity to give him a space that is safe and enjoyable for friends and family BBQs. The photo is of my husband on our porch when we got the keys to our very first home.
We are of family of 8 with 6 kids ranging in age from 2 up to 11. That doesn't include numerous neighborhood kids that all love to come over and play at our house. They all enjoy the outdoors and we would like to make our backyard a safe and fun place for them all to play as well as a beautiful spot for my husband and I to relax and enjoy. Our home is situated on a hill and the backyard is terraced. The retaining walls, made with railroad ties, are rotting away and our deck is falling apart. We would love to have a sturdy deck that we could sit on in the evenings, grilling out, and serving up a bunch of fun to all the kids.
My family and I are fortunate to live in a wonderful neighborhood surrounded by beautiful trees and great neighbors, but our fixer-upper leaves much to be desired. We recently purchased this home with stars in our eyes, creativity in our hearts, and a shoestring budget. The first words that came out of my husband's mouth when we were viewing the back yard with our realtor were: "someday this will be the most amazing spot for a deck…" Our dream is magnificent, but our reality is daunting. The current state of our backyard makes me cringe every day when I open the curtains, or chase down my toddler and tell him "No, no – you can't go back there". Our dream deck would replace vines, a pile of concrete, construction debris, and other unsightly features that make the space unusable. We envision a tiered outdoor living space where we can grill, unwind, entertain, get to know our neighbors, let our toddler play, and enjoy the natural beauty of our neighborhood. We have a blank canvas on an amazing lot that is full of possibilities. We just need help to turn our dreams for this space into reality!
Multi-Level Deck Opens Up Yard in Arkansas
We've discussed at length the importance of a good deck design. It not only has to work for the intended use, but also for the home and the rest of the yard. All components of the property should complement one another instead of combat it. When our deck builder in Little Rock, Tom Duncan, shared the following project with me, I noticed it was a great example how design can impact a yard.
This particular backyard had an existing pool, but no deck. Instead, it had an enclosed area under the the small roof structure seen in the picture. The two spaces didn't work with each other and inhibited interaction between people using the outdoor areas. The enclosed area was too small to entertain guests and the only access to the yard was on the opposite side of where the pool was. It just didn't make sense for homeowners who like to entertain and have pool parties and barbecues when the weather is nice.
Tom and his team looked to create an open entertaining space that created a smooth transition from the deck to the pool. They designed a multi-level deck with wide steps to open up the space. By having only three steps at any one place, the different levels, although separate, don't feel disjointed and invite conversation and interaction between people throughout the whole yard. It also created a low-to-grade deck at the lowest level. A low-to-grade deck or patio is low to the ground and doesn't require a railing by code. Without a railing blocking views, it invites the eye out into the pool area and yard. The higher parts of the deck do include a railing for code purposes, but the homeowners enjoy the definition and seclusion of those areas.
Access to the pool and the yard was one of the biggest issues with the home's existing outdoor living space, but the Archadeck of Central Arkansas opened it up. Not only is all of one side of the pressure treated deck open to the pool area, but there is also an opening from the far deck area to the yard below.
This once closed off and fragmented space is now open and conducive to entertaining and interaction. There is space and areas for everyone to enjoy. The built in bench on the low deck offers a place for people to sit and enjoy the sun, while the now open porch is perfect for the person who would like some shade. It was important to the homeowners to incorporate the existing roof structure into the space. By keeping the bones and support of the structure, it was a perfect shaded addition to the structure.
Tom and the Archadeck of Central Arkansas team enhanced the utility of this backyard completely by creating a space that truly works. It all comes back to design. A good design makes for a useful space. A bad design inhibits it. If you aren't sure what will work best in your yard, make sure you consult a professional outdoor living designer.
On an unrelated topic, we at Archadeck Outdoor Living are thrilled to open voting for our Dream Backyard Makeover contest tomorrow, April 23rd! Make sure you place your vote for the homeowner you want to win the $70,000 backyard makeover!
Four Days Left to Enter Dream Backyard Makeover!
Over the past two and half months, we at Archadeck Outdoor Living have been thrilled to be running the Dream Backyard Makeover Contest. Unfortunately, there are only 4 more days to enter! If you haven't submitted a photo of your current backyard along with a description of what you would like in your dream backyard, make sure you do it by April 22nd, 2013! Voting on the six finalists will be begin on Wednesday, April 23rd and the contest winner will be announced on or around May 6th.
As of this morning, there have been just under 1,700 submissions. It's been wonder reading all of the entrants' stories and learning more about how they intend to use the space (some of you have great plans!). The grand prize is obviously the $70,000 backyard makeover which will include both a deck and patio component using TimberTech and Belgard products. Recently, I've been receiving questions on how the deck design will be settled on and built, so I wanted to describe the process the winner will be experiencing.
Our deck designers and builders take their job very seriously. It is our goal to provide you with a space that is not only beautiful, but also usable and the homeowner is key to that conversation. After the winner is chosen, our local Archadeck owner will visit with the homeowner, survey the entire yard and discuss the needs and wants of the family. By knowing the intended use of the space as well as some of the homeowners likes and dislikes, a custom outdoor living environment can be created that will make everyone happy.
Just like the typical Archadeck Outdoor Living client, the Dream Backyard Makeover Contest winner will be given a 3D design rendering of the space so they can easily envision the end outcome and what it will look like in their backyard. I must say, it can be incredible to see the before, the design and the after.
Once the design is settled on, Archadeck will pull all the necessary permits and get all the necessary building materials ready to get started. And, from there, the transformation begins! Our franchisee and their local team will work to get the space built so that the homeowners can once again enjoy their backyards. Everyone at Archadeck can't wait to get started on the contest winner's backyard. Only a few weeks until the winner is finalized!
As always, we'll be here updating you on the project along the way.
Again, if you haven't yet submitted your entry yet, you have four more days to do so! You can enter at DreamBackyardMakeover.com.
Good luck everyone!
March Dream Backyard Makeover Finalists Announced
It has been a busy month for Archadeck and its Dream Backyard Makeover Contest. We are thrilled that so many people have taken an interest in the contest. With over 1,000 entries, it was extremely difficult to pick two for the month of March, but somehow we did it.
We are still accepting entries through April 22nd, 2013. On April 23rd voting will open for all six finalists. If you need a reminder on the prizes, here they are…
First prize – a $70,000 backyard makeover sponsored by TimberTech Decking and Belgard Hardscapes. The winner of this will have an absolutely gorgeous new outdoor living area with both a deck and hardscape component design and built by Archadeck Outdoor Living.
Second prize – a $7,000 deck or patio renovation by Archadeck Outdoor Living.
Third Prize – a $3,000 outdoor lighting system from Outdoor Lighting Perspectives.
The full descriptions of the finalists' photos will be posted on the Archadeck Facebook page when voting opens, but here's a glimpse at the March finalists!
The first March finalist comes to us from Connecticut. The first time homeowners and parents fell in love with this home despite the old, not up to code deck and porch. The backyard has great potential to be the perfect space for this growing family. This house is not only the first home the couple has owned, but the first backyard both of them have ever had after growing up in the city! We at Archadeck Outdoor Living see the possibilities!
The second finalist comes out of Iowa. This family had to move to a larger home after adopting two kids from foster care. Now with four young kids (under the age of 10), the homeowners would like an outdoor space for the kids to play away from the television and computer. The parents hope to have a space to relax (maybe cook) and watch their kids enjoy the outdoors. With a large yard like this, the options for a Dream Backyard Makeover are endless!
Congrats to our March finalists! For everyone else, keep the entries coming. The last group of finalists will be announced on April 22nd! There is still time to enter!

Say no way to the PGA Tour: Bring on the girls
Published Sept. 18, 2012
Milwaukee's PGA tournament closed its clubhouse in 2009 after decades as a second-rate tour stop and a few years as a third-rate event. There were no stars stopping in Milwaukee. Attendance was almost non-existent. But, I am convinced that Milwaukee could stage a LPGA Tour even that would be one of the best and biggest on the women's tour.

I am currently making a version of Pong with a little twist. Everything is going great so far, but if the ball is hit at a vertical/near vertical angle, it will continue to bounce between the two walls and pretty much stays there for the rest of the game. I have primarily made the game using built-in Physics materials, although the paddles and the walls are adding force to the ball when it collides with them(a feature of the game, to make it go faster). The ball has force applied to it at the start. I was wondering whether there would be anyway to prevent this "perfect bounce" scenario, and would be very grateful for any help. Here are what the walls are doing (the opposite force for the bottom wall):
And here are what the paddles are doing (opposite force for opposing paddle):
Any help would be greatly appreciated. How did you make the ball move that way?
Jan 08 at 07:42 PM
(comments are locked)
How about making some sort of bounce counter, which is reset after it hits a paddle, and if it bounces against the wall n times, then a force is added which goes sideways? Sorry if I didn't explain that too well, if you need me to write out the code I will.

Zellbiologie, Zellwand der Pflanze, Arabidopsis Genetik | |
Leiter: Dipl.-Ing. Dr. Georg Seifert |
Plant cell walls represent the world's most abundant natural resource for fuel, fibre, food and fodder. Despite the cell wall's importance for human society much remains to be learned about its biosynthesis and its central role in plant life. Cell walls consist of cellulose microfibrils that are embedded in an amorphous matrix of cross-linking glucans, acidic pectins and highly glycosylated proteins such as extensins and arabinogalactan-proteins. The work of this group is dedicated to better understand the biosynthesis and functions of cell wall matrix polymers. One of our areas of interest is the regulation of cell wall carbohydrate precursor metabolism by multiple isoforms of nucleotide sugar interconversion enzymes, potentially leading to approaches to modulate cell wall matrix composition and thereby improving processing properties. Another long-term interest of our group is the investigation of plant cell wall performance and integrity control. This process that is best understood in yeast, is predicted to control plant growth in response to abiotic stress and pathogen attack. Its elucidation promises strategies to make crop biomass production less sensitive to abiotic stress.
Figure 1: Polarized light micrography of hypocotyl sections of a wild type plant (left) and the mur10 mutant (right) that lacks secondary cell wall specific cellulose synthase. Strongly birefringent normal secondary cell wall produces polarization contrast while mutant secondary cell walls only contain ligin (dark blue). |

Figure 3: Mutations in the arabinogalactan-protein FLA4/SOS5 causes oversensitivity to salt, resulting in abnormally swollen and highly autofluorescent roots (left). Secondary mutations in several suppressor loci of fla4 (SLOF) restore wild type responsiveness to salt (right). SLOF genes are predicted to act in cell wall performance and integrity control.

Speaking of SYing for raids, what is polite and reasonable? Some will SY non-stop, as often as they can in hope of ruining the game experiance for raiders and/or online attackers. While this may seem ideal to some, is it? Driving away a raider may mean that you get to keep your cargo longer, but not many raiders camp their targets unless the target has a large amount of cargo out. Learning to bank effectively helps, and some SY time doesn't hurt, but only for so long. If you are getting raided constantly for large amounts of cargo, take a look at when it is happening and try to change that. If it happens repeatedly from the same person, try talking to them.
The constant SY method just leads to fleets stepping in and taking action which can upset entire fleets, leading to a loss of fleet or more than one person leaving. Please keep in mind that raiding is part of the game and that everyone needs to use reasonable judgement.
