If you want a lock for a first time ballot NFL Hall of Famer, look no further than Larry Allen. Allen just made it to the finalist list, and should be a lock for being voted into the HOF. This is a nomination I have been waiting for and the moment is almost here for Cowboys Nation, he is the best offensive lineman in the history of the Cowboys franchise and he's a top 5 all-time in the history of the NFL. He was versatile, playing tackle and guard. You're talking about a man, a mauling machine, that played with tenacity and power throughout his career. He has all the accolades to back up his play, someone who was instrumental in paving the way for Emmitt Smith and I'm sure Emmitt would agree 1000 times over. Just look at this resumé: All-Rookie Team 1994 Super Bowl Ring 7-time All-Pro 11-time Pro-Bowler 90′s Decade Team 2000′s Decade Team Dallas Cowboys Ring of Honor 2011 Wow. Larry Allen known to Cowboys fans as L.A. and was one of the best to have ever played the game. I'm glad ...

As many of you know, New York State plans to test students, in grades 3-8, on the new Common Core Learning Standards. Last year, Kentucky was the first state to test their students with these new lofty standards. Unfortunately, the results in Kentucky plummeted from the prior year. Reading proficiency fell from 76 percent to 48 percent in Kentucky's elementary schools and 70 percent to 46.8 percent in their middle schools.
Equally concerning, math scores dropped from 73 percent to 40.4 percent in their elementary schools and 65 percent to 40.6 percent in the state's middle schools.
Many of their state officials predicted there would be a drop; however, very few thought the decline would be so dramatic. As a result of Kentucky's experience with the new common core assessments, many educators feel this is a predictor of what may end up happening in New York State.
In fact, both New York and Kentucky employ Pearson—one of the largest educational publishing companies—to create the new, more rigorous Core Curriculum assessments. This is something parents in New York State should be aware of, as their children get ready for these new state tests in April. If you have any questions about the common core assessments or the new requirements, please contact your child's teacher.

While parking around LIRR train stations is typically a challenge, even on a regular work day, the holidays create more of a struggle for commuters in search of parking spots. LIRR spokesman Salvatore Arena said that ridership between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day increases by at least 10 percent; last year it was by 12 percent. Though the MTA is adding more trains to the schedule, that doesn't ease the parking situation, which is operated not by the LIRR, but by individual municipalities in each town.
"Every station is different," Arena said. "A good part of our parking is in the hands of the locality. They set the rules essentially."

Price: Rs 490 for 80ml
smells good
gives a fresh and cool sensation
doesn't feel very sticky
very expensive!
wish the stopper came with a hole!
My Experience
I got this product from natural mantra as part of their promotional campaign. But, the bottle wasn't too big that the product could last long enough so I shall write about the product based on 5 or 6 uses I could get.
Its a colorless oil which smells of camphor and ginger and feels awesome to apply. It doesn't really disappear into the skin like the Anirveda oil. But, I did like the ginger combination in the oil.
Regarding the moisturizing capability, I would say its good but not great so it would suit the normal or oily skin perfectly. Dry skin people might need another layer. But, it does make the skin really soft.
Also, due to the camphor, the oil feels a little cool sometimes. This is a feature which would be great in summers so you might want to try it then. But, the presence of ginger and black pepper doesn't make the oil feel warm.
The only issue I have is that the bottle comes with the stopper but no hole so its an added work to pierce a hole. I wish it came with a standard hole in the stopper so the bottle is usable without any work. And, yes, it is expensive!

Jackie Robinson: "Too bad he's the wrong color"
You could say "42," the film about the life of Brooklyn Dodgers great Jackie Robinson, is a gripping baseball tale and your assessment would be correct — but woefully incomplete. "42" is not just a baseball story. It's a compelling history lesson as well. It tells the story of not just baseball but also of a central facet of 20th Century American life — the suffocating reach of racism— in the decades before ...Read more ›

Wow Just Wow
Reviewed: 02 November 2014 by missy123, a Straight Single Female
I was a little sceptical of this product, but when it arrived I just had to try it immediately. It doesn't look like much, but once inside you can really feel the ridges against your G-spot and it does open you up a little.
I love the feeling of being exposed down below and this really did fit the bill. The 2 arms hold open the labia, allowing access to the wet and sensitive areas within. This isn't like a medical tool and it doesn't spread the vagina walls all the way up inside, just the labia. However, if you are into medical fetishes, you can also use a flat plastic depresser to push down to see right up inside, which is a turn on for some I know (I liked it!) - and nice that it's not a metal device.
You can use a vibe or dildo with this product, and he will be able to slide his cock in just as easily if he can stop licking you! Once he's inside you he will also benefit from those ridges!
You can adjust the spread of the base of this product, so you can insert it tight together or wider apart if you prefer. I tried both but I am personally a fan of being stretched a little more so went for the wider option. I came so quickly and so creamy with this product and a vibe combined and made quite the mess. As for his response, well he loves the ridges and the extra sensation they bring, but that was only once he stopped staring and lapping at what was spread before him! Also give amazing clitoral like never before.
- Pros
- Liked that it left me quite 'open' for a while after.
- Cons
- I would like to see a longer one for even more access.
- Bottom line
- Amazing addition to a toy collection for both solo and couple play.

Reviewed: 26 October 2014 by dizzydebbie69, a Straight Married Female
I bought this item to make life a bit easier for my OH. It was really easy to use after a few adjustments. I loved the feeling of it inside me. And such a turn-on knowing you're all open and exposed.
My OH said it turned him on too, seeing me like that. It also left his hands free to do other things.
Would definitely recommend this.
- Pros
- The exposure.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Brilliant.

My OH helped to insert this little beauty with lots of lubricant.
It took a little while to get it in a comfortable position. With everything spread open, my entire vulva felt sensitive to everything, including the temperature of the room.
When my OH touched me, it was really intense, but it wasn't until we began intercourse that this device really worked its magic.
I had just the right amount of pressure in all the right places, it was amazing. I had the kind of orgasm that took everything out of me. I slept like a baby afterwards.
- Pros
- It's small, flexible, and can be bent into a perfect fit.
- Cons
- No cons.
- Bottom line
- Oh là là.

V.I.P access
Reviewed: 27 September 2014 by sexytime87
All my partner was doing was just browsing on the Lovehoney website, but then he came across this, and knew he had to show me.
At first glance it looked a little odd, but after watching the video for it, I wanted it so badly! The best thing about this spreader is that it will fit anyone because it is so bendy and flexible. I described it to my partner as a bendy straw.
The box that it comes in includes instructions of how to use it and how to insert it. For me I found that when watching the Lovehoney video review it explained one of the best ways to insert it, so we'd recommend checking that out for some extra information.
This intimate part spreader is made from a wonderfully smooth silicone material, which feels fantastic on your skin. There are also some added bumps most of the way round the toy for a more stimulating feeling not only for me, but for my partner too.
To insert this spreader I pushed both of the arms together, so it was small enough, and then just put a little lube on and it glided in with no problems whatsoever. Then I found the right position for me by moving the arms and just getting it in the most comfortable and pleasurable spot for me.
After getting everything in the right place I was so surprised with how little you need to move the arms to feel the most amazing sensations, as they hit my G-spot straight away. My partner absolutely loved the fact that he could see right inside and it turned him on instantly. The feeling on its own was enough to make me want to climax, but I held myself together and waited for my partner to join in on the fun.
Wow! The toy felt amazing hitting the perfect spot and coupled with my partner inside was one of the most intense, beautiful and sensual feelings I have had. In no time at all I was squirting and having the most fantastic orgasms.
This toy was perfect for both of us as the bumps were a pleasurable feeling for my partner rubbing on him as he was inside me. He said that the feeling of this as well as being able to see what was going on inside my vagina more clearly made him want to cum very quickly.
All in all, this toy is fantastic. It is very useful for personal use and for couples play and intercourse. We can safely say that this toy is one of the best purchases we have made with Lovehoney and the fact that it caters for both of us is a very big bonus.
I urge everyone to get one of these for G-spot stimulation, and plus this little beauty literally does open you up to a whole new world of fun!
Honestly, you will not be disappointed buying one of these. The price is perfect for what you get and the explosive orgasms for both of you. Don't delay you really don't know what you are missing out on!
Nice and subtle, and informative.
As always Lovehoney's packaging is the best around for keeping everything plain and discreet.
- Pros
- Something we can use together and pleasure both of us.
- Cons
- Absolutely nothing!
- Bottom line
- The perfect toy for everyone to have for such a reasonable price.

I bought this after stumbling across it. After reading the reviews, thought id give it a go...
First impressions were not all that great! But after positioning it, my BF said it was amazing. :)
It was comfortable to wear and makes me extra horny being exposed.
I had it in whilst my BF gave me oral and OMG I came like a freight train! Hands down the most intense mind-blowing experience I've ever had - and I've had a few lol.
I highly recommend it. Everyone should own one!

1. Field of Invention
This invention relates to devices for supporting, attaching and securing hurricane panels, specifically to a do-it-yourself glass door or window hurricane panel lower edge support and attachment system as a primary component in protection systems for home and business owners in that period following a hurricane watch or warning.
2. Prior Art
The 2005 Atlantic hurricane season began Jun. 1, 2005 and lasted until Nov. 30, 2005. Unexpectedly, this became a most active season, shattering records on repeated occasions, with 27 tropical storms formed, of which a record 15 became hurricanes. The impact of the 2005 season was widespread and ruinous with recorded damages of over $ 100 billion and a death toll approaching 2,000 lives.
The most common materials causing severe damage and breakage during severe storms include roof shingles, roof tiles, children's play ground toys, lawn furniture, tree limbs, outdoor grills, fencing materials, garbage cans, and a wide variety of similar airborne missiles. Studies of damage from recent hurricanes show that most of the damage to homes was from wind or wind-borne missiles that broke the windows and glass doors and let rain and wind into the home. Once the integrity of a structure has been broken, the resultant storm pressure may blow out other windows and lift roofs from the structures. This �Venturi Effect� is a special case of the Bernoulli Principle, or the reduction of pressure producing a partial vacuum.
Only a small percentage of the 40 million property owners along our total hurricane-prone coastline of 2,911 miles have currently installed hurricane protection over glass doors and windows. The Atlantic Coast of 1,280 miles extends from Virginia to Florida and the Gulf Coast of 1,631 miles extends from Florida to Texas.
The current state of storm protection prior art offers a number of window-related protection systems, many of which require complex manufacturing capabilities and professional installation skills. These effective systems are targeted for the upper middle class and above. Affordable and rapid do-it-yourself protection systems are needed to assist property owners in the short time period following a hurricane watch or warning.
Hurricane protection of windows is the primary focus of the large and expanding number of sophisticated, effective, and commercially available systems for home and business owners is hurricane protection of windows. Protection of sliding glass patio and French type doors and commercial glass entrance doors are areas of minimum attention, when compared to window protection systems. Protection of wide glass doors involves a number of more difficult and complex problems than the average window.
Property owners of upper level or high-rise properties, those above ground level, are unable to protect their glass doors from hurricane forces. Most of the limited systems designed specifically for glass doors require attachment of hurricane panels from outside the glass door to be protected, making it impossible for the installer to re-enter the structure following the installation. Prior art provides few glass door systems designed to allow an installer access back into the structure following installation of the hurricane panels over the glass door opening.
My previous patent application Ser. No. 11/966,626, filed on Dec. 28, 2007, provides a commercially successful, do-it-yourself solution for rapid attachment of plywood or plastic panels over windows. This system involves a lower and upper track and channel system requiring sliding the hurricane panel into position over the window. Full size sheets of �″, ⅝″ and �″ plywood necessary to protect wide expanses of glass are unwieldy, heavy and difficult for the average homeowner to lift into a track or slide down a channel into position over wide expanses of floor level glass.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,745,704 to Covington (1973) discloses aluminum extrusions shaped to receive and support a single removable plywood panel. The system requires the lifting of a panel into a U shaped track. Such track and channel systems are subject to collection of debris, leaves and other common airborne contaminants during periods when panels are not in place. The invention also describes installing the system on the inside of the window opening in multi-story buildings. The system would not protect the glass window from breakage when installed inside the building structure. The system installation skills required are beyond what can be expected of a do-it-yourself homeowner seeking rapid retrofit protection of wide window expanses following a hurricane watch or warning.
U.S. Design Pat. No. D541,140 to Allen (2007) illustrates a storm shutter track design to contain one (1) or more sliding tracks for storm shutters requiring the lifting of panels into place.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,347,775 to Santos (1994) provides for top and bottom rails mounted on a vertical building surface. No provision is provided for installation on a flat deck or horizontal surface. Manufacturing the system would require extensive tooling and set up costs. Installation is of such a nature as to be complex to a homeowner with moderate do-it-yourself skills and tools, in the short period of time prior to the arrival of a hurricane. No provisions are provided for the installation of a hurricane panel from inside the structure of the opening to be protected.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,820,381 to Ballough (2004) discloses a storm shutter attachment system designed to be attached to the exterior wall portion of a house or building. The stated objectives of the invention are to provide for non-visible mounting of the upper portion of a storm shutter. This invention was not designed to provide for a solution to support, attach and secure plywood hurricane panels to deck level patio door openings.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,978,579 to Trinca (2005) requires the use of the existing screen track of the window opening to be protected. Patio door screen tracks lack the design and structure to support the weight of full size sheets of ⅝″ or �″ plywood panels. French doors do not provide for screens. The present invention is compatible with French styled doors and commercial office doors. This referenced patent is not a deck-mounted system for do-it-yourself installation of storm panels.
U.S. Patent Application 2007/0107328 to Munch (2007) discloses a panel attachment system composed of upper track of an �h� shape and lower track of an �f� shape mounted to a vertical wall of the structure. Storm panels are inserted in an upper track and hinge down to exactly match apertures in the panel with extended threaded fasteners in the lower track system. No provision is provided to support, secure, and attach full size sheets of panel material to a flat horizontal deck or structure. The system is installed from outside the structure.
U.S. Patent Application 2003/0159373 to Lien (2003) discloses a protective board U channel hinged track system mounted on the top and bottom frame parts of the window. The invention is not designed for homeowner installation of a system to protect the oversize openings of patio doors installed flush with concrete, composite or wooden deck structures.
U.S. Patent Application 2009/0107061 to Guthrie (2009) discloses a structural reinforcement system to reinforce sliding glass door structures against storm force winds. Once installed, the system increases the structural integrity of the sliding glass door structure by increasing the ability of the door to withstand being blown inward or outward by storm force winds. This invention discloses no protection to the glass portion of the sliding glass door from flying debris associated with hurricane conditions.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,131,354 to Thompson (2000), discloses a complex system of locking mechanisms, brackets and mounts that are permanently attached to a structure. The bracketed system is not simple in nature and not suitable for installation during the hours prior to a storm making landfall.
The problems involved in protecting wide, deck level expanses of glass doors and windows has led the hurricane protection industry to concentrate on the more simple art of protecting ground level windows. Considering the number of windows in a home compared to the number of wide glass doors, this direction is understandable. Practical, affordable and rapidly installed do-it-yourself homeowner protection systems for patio type and French type doors with plywood or corrugated plastic panels are a neglected art.
Following a storm warning, the demand for plywood and other types of panels is heavy at building material suppliers and big box lumberyards. The missing component during this rush for protection is a fast and simple way to install temporary storm panels with minimum damage to the structure, damage associated with nailing and bolting the panels directly to the building structure. Sheets of plywood and other materials are heavy, unwieldy, and essentially impossible for one person to support and to hold a sheet in place while trying to nail it to the structure, especially if the weather is deteriorating.
The panel attachment systems for attaching protective storm panels over wide expanses of glass, heretofore known, suffer from one or more of the following disadvantages:
(a) Their basic design is for window protection applications of average size openings, unlike the larger sized openings of patio style sliding glass doors, French type doors, and wide commercial expanses of glass doors and windows.
(b) Their fabrication requires a manufacturer capable of complex mechanical sub-assemblies, extrusions, foundry or casting capabilities, and adherence to precise tolerances. Tooling costs prior to manufacturing are substantial.
(c) A majority of prior art devices are fabricated of metal. Coastal climates are known for corrosive salt air that will eventually cause aluminum to corrode, steel to rust, and plating to deteriorate. Stainless steel is an obvious but prohibitively expensive alternative metal material.
(d) �U� shaped channels and tracks with close tolerances are subject to the drawbacks of debris accumulation, rendering them less than optimum. Some prior art examples with close tolerances may also be rendered less than optimum due to the need for refinishing in corrosive salt air environments.
(e) A majority of available systems do not allow passage back into the structure following storm panel installation, making these systems unusable for above ground level installations.
Prior art does not provide the missing component in this protection scenario for a simple and low cost apparatus designed specifically for do-it-yourself home and business owners to attach full sheets of plywood or plastic over wide expanses of glass with relative ease. A system is needed to eliminate the need to lift the full weight of the panel and provide for attachment of panels to a deck or other horizontal surface using ordinary do-it-yourself tools in the short period following a hurricane watch or warning. Upper level protection is precluded by the majority of systems requiring installation from outside the opening without a provision for re-entering the structure.
3. Advantages
Accordingly, one or more embodiments of the present invention may have one or more of the following advantages:
(a) to provide a hurricane panel lower edge attachment device, which can be installed with average do-it-yourself tools and skills;
(b) to provide a hurricane panel lower edge attachment device, which can be installed by a property owner with only the hours remaining after a hurricane watch or warning;
(c) to provide a hurricane panel lower edge attachment device impervious to degradation, corrosion, oxidation or other common problems associated with coastal salt air environments;
(d) to provide a hurricane panel lower edge attachment device fabricated from relatively low-cost materials in plentiful supply to enhance affordability;
(e) to provide a hurricane panel lower edge attachment device designed to eliminate custom designing, professional installation, and extended lead times;
(f) to provide a hurricane panel lower edge attachment device of compatible components allowing for side by side installation for protecting long expanses of glass doors and windows;
(g) to provide a hurricane panel lower edge attachment device with provisions for access back into the structure being protected following the installation of panels;
Further advantages of this do-it-yourself horizontal base lower panel edge installing, attaching, and securing system for full sized sheets of plywood or plastic panel materials to protect extended expanses of glass doors or windows will become apparent from a consideration of the drawings and ensuing description.
The embodiments of this do-it-yourself invention are directed towards an improved system for property owner installation of hurricane panels of a variety of available hurricane panel materials in front of glass doors and windows in the short period of time prior to the arrival of a hurricane. The device allows owners of multi-level properties to complete the hurricane panel protection process from the inside area of the glass door or window to be protected.
In the drawings, closely related figures have the same number but different alphabetic suffixes.
Referring now to the drawings, one form of the do-it-yourself glass door or window hurricane panel lower edge support and attachment unit embodying the principles and concepts of the present invention will be described. One embodiment of the attachment unit is illustrated in
This free-foam cellular PVC trim material is selected for a number of reasons including an extruded material totally impervious to insects, moisture, and salt air damage. It can be cut and drilled using the same tools used to cut lumber. The recommended water-based, non-toxic, odorless, UV stable PVC adhesives provide a strong bond, creating a joint as strong as the material itself. The material does not require painting but readily accepts acrylic latex finishes of different colors. Building supply centers offer the trim board under a number of trademarked names including Azek�, Koma�, Versatex�, Plasticlad�, and a number of other trade names, most with lifetime warranties. However, the board material can be of other outdoor treated or untreated lumber or PVC extrusions. A common, usable, and recommended PVC trim board size is ⅝″�3�″ in various lengths up to 20′ (feet).
The method of fabrication of this embodiment is as follows. The base plate supporting element 12 is cut to a predetermined length, depending upon the width of the glass unit to be protected 40. Standard sliding glass patio doors and French type doors are sold in six (6) foot and five (5) foot standard widths. For this embodiment fabrication example, the most popular six (6) foot, (72 inch) width will be selected. It is obvious that the panel base plate unit 10 could be fabricated in virtually an unlimited number of lengths, dependent upon the width of the glass expanse to be protected. Regardless of the length of the fabrication of the panel base plate unit 10, the design of the system allows for side-by-side, end-to-end installation of multiple panel base plate units 10 for protecting wide expanses of glass doors and windows.
The width and length of standard plywood sheathing is four (4) feet wide by eight (8) feet long. This example fabrication of the panel base plate unit 10 has been determined to be a standard and popular six (6) feet in width, thus the example will require more than one (1) sheet of plywood to complete and illustrate the installation. The fabrication of the six (6) foot panel base plate unit 10 will require three (3) standard attachment elements 14 and two (2) attachment elements with aperture 15.
The fabrication method of this standard size six (6) foot panel base plate unit 10, as illustrated in
Following the sawing operations described, the fabrication of the two (2) attachment elements with aperture 15 will require drilling the attachment element access aperture 54 in the center of the of the attachment elements with aperture 15 as illustrated in
Referring now to
In order to proceed with the bonding and drilling requirements, it is recommended that a light bonding and drilling pencil line 37 be scribed 1⅛″ from the rear base plate edge 23 along the base plate bonding and attachment surface 36. This bonding and drilling pencil line 37 will provide a centerline for the bonding of the standard attachment elements 14 and the attachment elements with aperture 15 to the base plate bonding and attachment surface 36. As illustrated in
Referring now to
The bonding process will begin with the bonding of the middle or center located standard attachment element 14 (
The drilling of the base plate unit attaching apertures 32 will be described. A recommended drill size of ⅜″ for the base plate unit attachment aperture 32 will provide clearance for 5/16″ or ⅜″ base plate attachment fasteners 30. As illustrated in
Referring to
Referring to
In operation of the first embodiment, as illustrated in
Two versions of the first embodiment will be described. The first description of operation will address the steps involved in the installation of hurricane panels over wide expanses of glass found on a ground level structure. The second description of operation of this embodiment will address the steps involved in installing hurricane panels over glass units found in multi-level structures requiring the installer to gain access back into the inside of the structure following the installation of hurricane panels.
Operation of Ground Level Installation
The installation and operation of this first embodiment on a ground level installation of hurricane panels over a glass unit to be protected will consist of the following steps to be carried out by the do-it-yourself property owner:
Step 1�Obtain the necessary number of owner-selected and properly sized hurricane panels 26 to cover the glass unit to be protected 40. The recommended plywood is OSB plywood sheathing. The minimum approved thickness is 7/16″, however a recommended thickness of ⅝″ or �″ offers additional protection from air-borne debris. It is recommended that a waterproofing finish be applied to plywood panels prior to installation if the property owner planned to use the hurricane panels 26 more than once. The do-it-yourself property owner will determine the type and necessary number of panels required to cover the glass unit to be protected 40.
Step 2�To secure the upper edge of the hurricane panels 26, a C shaped or U shaped channeled device or fabrication would be installed above the glass unit to be protected 40. Such upper panel track securing devices 20 are capable of capturing and securing the top edge of a hurricane panel or panels 26 (
Step 3�Once the hurricane panels 26 are sized and waterproofed and the device to secure the top edge of the panels is securely installed directly above the glass unit to be protected 40, the hurricane panel base plate unit 10 will be installed on the deck or other exterior horizontal surface 50, the panel base plate unit 10 properly aligned with and cooperating with the tracks of the installed upper panel track securing device 20 installed to capture and secure the top edge of a single or plurality of hurricane panels 26 immediately in front of the outside surface of the glass door or window unit to be protected 40.
Step 4�Depending upon the composition of the exterior horizontal surface 50, the proper fasteners for securing the panel base plate unit 10 to the exterior horizontal surface 50 can be selected, as explained below. As shown in
If the deck or exterior horizontal surface 50 is of concrete or masonry composition, an appropriate concrete anchor type base plate attachment fastener 30 would be selected. Among the several concrete anchors available, an industry standard for this type application would include Tapcon� concrete anchors. The recommendation for this installation would be the �″�2�″ Tapcon hex head anchor. The drill size for this anchor is 3/16 ″, the hex head size is 5/16″. The choice of fasteners and the securing of the panel base plate unit 10 to the exterior horizontal surface 50 would be readily accomplished by a do-it-yourself property owner with ordinary skill in the art.
Step 5�The do-it-yourself advantages of this improved support, securing and attachment of full size sheets of plywood and other hurricane panel materials will now become apparent.
Operation of Upper Level, Multi-Level Structure Installation
The following is a modified do-it-yourself installation and operation of this first embodiment specifically described for high-rise or multi-level structure installation. The most common apparatus for entering and exiting the outside balcony area of coastal located multi-level apartments and condominiums are sliding glass patio doors. Prior art has shown little interest in providing a do-it-yourself system for rapid owner installation of non-permanent hurricane panels to protect upper level sliding glass patio doors. The specific problem lacking a solution is a method for the installer to re-enter the interior of the structure from the upper-level balcony following a do-it-yourself owner installation of plywood or plastic hurricane panels from the outside location. A multi-level do-it-yourself installation of hurricane panels over a glass unit to be protected will be described. This installation will include the solution for the do-it-yourself property owner to re-enter and remain within the structure during the final phase of the following hurricane panel installation steps:
Step 1�As illustrated in
Step 5�
The �c� and �d� installation steps and instructions included in Step 5 of the �OPERATION OF GROUND LEVEL INSTALLATION� described earlier would be followed at this time. As illustrated in
Step 6�Preparation for the installation of the inside access hurricane panel 28 by the do-it-yourself property owner will proceed as follows:
Because building attachment surfaces are disposed horizontal, vertical, and slanted, various embodiments are necessary to attach and secure the lower portion of hurricane panels to the surfaces of common building structures with glass door or window openings to be protected. The following additional embodiments disclose the more obvious applications to which the basic principles of the invention are applied in related ways.
There are various possibilities and methods of extruding PVC and cellular PVC. Currently over seven (7) manufacturers offer trim board, moulding, and deck products of cellular PVC. These manufacturers also offer custom services for extruding custom shapes.
A further alternative in this embodiment is illustrated in
Accordingly, the reader will see that at least one embodiment of the do-it-yourself glass door or window storm panel supporting and attachment system provides property owners with average do-it-yourself skills, a more affordable and simplified system for protection of glass doors and windows immediately prior to the arrival of a hurricane. Following a hurricane watch or warning, supplies of plywood, plastic panels, and other suitable materials can be obtained by property owners. Currently the majority of property owners are forced to nail or bolt the panel materials to the structures to protect glass doors and windows. Owners of multi-lever properties are unable to protect balcony glass doors due to the need to re-enter the living space following the installation of panel materials. Embodiments of the described system allow property owners access back into the interior area of the property after the installation of hurricane panels. Furthermore, the do-it-yourself glass door and window hurricane panel lower edge attachment system has the additional advantages that:
Accordingly the reader will see that the panel attachment unit requires minimum manufacturing facilities. The recommended material for the invention is cellular PVC (polyvinyl chloride), PVC, or other polymer materials offering improved strength-to-weight ratios over other materials thereby increasing safety and convenience. PVC material is readily available, relatively low cost, a non-conductor of electricity, corrosion resistant, chemical resistant, and immune to electrochemical reactions caused by acids, bases, and salts that cause corrosion in metals. In addition, PVC production is an energy efficient manufacturing process, with more than half of the raw material used in PVC production provided by salt, of which there is virtually an unlimited supply.
While my above description contains many specificities, these should not be construed as limitations on the scope, but rather as an exemplification of one of several preferred embodiments thereof. Many other variations are possible.

Body of Irish teenager found on the roof of a West End bar
Published: 06 February 2014
Updated: 11:30, 21 February 2014
A student who went missing in London for two days after visiting the capital for the first time from his home in Ireland has been found dead on the roof of a West End nightclub.
Police today confirmed the body found on top of a four-storey building in Bear Street, off Leicester Square, at 8pm last night was that of Patrick Halpin, 18, a business student from Galway.
In a cruel twist, news of his death came just two hours after officials told his family he had been found when Gatwick Airport reported he had checked in for a flight home with friends from Dublin City University's drama society.
But as his elated father Paddy and sister Regina, 22, who had flown to London on Wednesday, made their way to the airport the report turned out to be a false alarm. The seats had been booked as a block and his absence from the group had not been noticed by check-in staff.
Police officers enter a branch of Burger King as the teenager's death is investigated PIcture: Nigel Howard At the time, his cousin Sorcha Halpin tweeted: "Our hearts have just sunk to a new low. We just found out Patrick is still missing. It was a false alarm."
A Met Police spokesman said : "On Thursday, 6 February police received information that Patrick Halpin had checked on to a flight due to depart from Gatwick Airport.
"Subsequent investigation revealed that this was part of a group booking and that he had not personally checked in. His family were kept abreast of developments but at no stage were they informed that he had been physically found. We will continue to provide assistance to the family at this very difficult time."
Patrick was in London with the university drama society on a four-day visit to watch shows the West End.
He was last seen leaving the Zoo Bar in Bear Street at 12.20am on Wednesday to go for food at the nearby Burger King. Fears for his welfare intensified when he did not pick up tickets for The Book of Mormon musical later that day.
The student was found dead on a roof of a building in Bear Street after a night out at Zoo bar Regina said: "He was particularly excited about that and had been looking forward to it for ages. So when he did not come back to collect his tickets people realised something was wrong. That was when alarm bells went off."
CCTV footage shows him climbing external stairs leading up to the roof of the nightclub and neighbouring buildings. Police who had traced his mobile phone found his body in an "enclosed area".
The Zoo club was closed as forensic detectives continued to examine the scene through the night.
A nearby worker who asked not to be named told the Standard: "Police told us there was CCTV of him going up a staircase and we were told that's how he had got up to the roof.
Another said: "We were all in shock. We don't know how he managed to get up there. The staircase is behind a door which is usually locked. Everyone is in shock because we often work until quite late and no one saw him."
A friend who had earlier been helping with the search said at the scene: "It's terrible, very sad. I was here from Ireland helping and came down especially because we were going to do a search tonight. I just can't believe it."
Tributes flooded in for the teenager, who had been staying with the group at the Astor Museum Hostel in Bloomsbury¸ as the news broke in the early hours this morning.
An ambulance at the scene in the West End last night when the student's body was found Picture: Nigel Howard Friends expressed their shock and sadness at the death of a student described as "one in a million".
Luke Mackey, a student at DCU, wrote on Twitter: "The world can be such a horrible place. Poor Irish lad goes to London with his college, and doesn't come home. RIP Patrick Halpin."
Dublin student Jessica Dowdall wrote: "Awful news. Heartbreaking . My heart goes out to Patrick Halpin's family and friends. Thinking of all those who were with him on the trip too. Sending love to you all."
Orla O'Brien tweeted: "Devastated to hear the news about Patrick. Was on the trip last year and can only imagine what all his friends and family are feeling. It's one of those times where all other problems seem unimportant and meaningless."
Eilis Corcoron wrote: "As a fellow first year DCU student I'm absolutely gutted to read this. RIP."
Sarah Bermingham, a journalism student at the university, said: "I'm in shock. Paddy Halpin was one of a kind - thoughts and prayers with the Halpin family, DCU Drama Society and all his friends at this tough time."
Stephen Long added: "I haven't stopped thinking of Patrick Halpin all night. As one of the many that enjoyed DCU society trips, this has really hit home."

5-at-10: Future for The Conz, Combine, Home plate, Comedy geniuses
Ten Cup: Wadley was a great coach from his days at Tennessee Temple until now. I hate to see him leave but I do not think he had as much success at McCallie.
I did not get to hear all of Press Row yesterday but on your rushmore of Canadians did anyone ever mention Ferguson Jenkins of the Cubs? He was born in Canada.
5-at-10: Dale Jr and NASCAR win the weekend; Cuonzo does not
Ten Cup: If the Cobb County Education does not get Mr. McKinnon into NASA he could always be a Sports Editor/Radio Personality!
Glad Junior finally got off the non-winning bandwagon. Maybe he can start to live up to his hype.
5-at-10: Recruiting everywhere, hoops clarity, best SI swimsuit covers and Rushmore of trash talkers
Ten Cup: Top five for SI:
1970 cover with Cheryl Tiegs. First swimsuit issue I saw. A neighbor of mine gave me several SI issues and that one was in there and made a great impression on a 12 year old. Still can see the fishnet swimsuit from several years later.
Kate Upton.
Christie Brinkley.
Kathy Ireland.
Tyra Banks.
Keep up the great work here and on Press Row.
5-at-10: NCAA change, Manning-Brady, Mocs dismissed, classic sneakers
Ten Cup: Kudos to you and Paschall on Press Row being great. Only problem I have listening is from time to time to many idiots caling but the two of you do a great job. I know everyone has their on opinion on sports.
My Dawgs made a great, Great, GREAT hire for Defensive Coordinator. The defense will be greatly improved. Pruitt is supposed to also be a great person and has a lot of football sense.
Shoe of choice Converse All Stars low or high tops.
Keep up the great job you are doing.
5-at-10: Friday mailbag about traditions, being the sports editor and an Iron Bowl contest
Ten Cup: Bama 35-17.
5-at-10: Auburn's miracle, college football rewind and three questions
Ten Cup: I forgot to mention that Joe Dean was one of the best Jay, one of the best. Nothing like hearing String Music on a Saturday afternoon in the winter.
5-at-10: Auburn's miracle, college football rewind and three questions
Ten Cup: The Auburn game was a microcosim of the Georgia season. Murray being Murray and the defense being well the defense. Grantham has got to go after this season because the defense stinks. Both teams played a great game that could have gone either way.
I want to give a shoutout to the Ringgold Tigers. They won their first EVER playoff game Friday night 55-54. It was the best High School Football Game i have seen in person since I saw Valdosta and Southwest Dekalb play in the Georgia Dome when Quincey Carter was a junior. In that game Valdosta came from 20 points down to beat SD. The come back started when a defensive end from Valdosta tatooed Carter in the end zone for a safety. Good time for the Wilcats that night just like for the Tigers this past Friday. Due to an upset Ringgold gets to host Cedar Grove this Friday.
All i can say about the Falcons is the stink worse than a pole cat!!
5-at-10: Fab 4-plus-1 picks, SEC to watch, best SEC players ever
I know Murray will be short changed. The guy was great in high school and great in college. If given the chance i believe he will make a great pro QB. I believe he will have a high side in the Pros similar to Stafford just maybe not as strong of an arm. You are a blessed man to have a woman from UGA!
5-at-10: Fab 4-plus-1 picks, SEC to watch, best SEC players ever
Ten Cup: I would start with Herschel. If I did not it would be like the unpardonable sin. For his fullback I would take William Andrews. I know he did not get the ink that Brooks and Cribbs got but he was a great palyer. (Bet you didn't know I knew that much about AU football.) I liked Sullivan and Beasly back in the day. Quarterback would be Cam.
Looking forward to the UGA-AU game Saturday. I believe it will be high scoring. Georgia should get Conley back for this one.
5-at-10: College football rewind, NFL takeaways and shoutout to the Mocs
Ten Cup: Thanks for another great 5@10. I am glad to see the Mocs winning games by the scores they have been losing by the last couple of years. The defense is really meeting the challenges and holding opponents.
Shout out to much maligned Aaron Murray for finally putting Danny Wuerffel in second place for career touchdowns in the SEC.
Watched the Alabma-LSU game Saturday and the Tide put on a show in the second half. Hope they get to play FSU for the National Title. Should be a great game.

Ladies and gentlemen I present to you a rare and elusive book update…. (Best said in a dramatic whisper – extra points if you can do a David Attenborough impression).
My house looks like a bomb has hit it, I've been living off microwave meals and my garden is full of weeds, but Which Way is Starboard Again? the book is several steps closer to existence.
After deathly silence for what felt like forever the edited version of my manuscript suddenly turned up in my inbox. To my surprise it hadn't been cut to pieces, instead the editors wanted extra information…. in approximately 10 days.
Cue late nights, messy house and mountains of paper with scribbles on them.
Ollie did his best to help, acting as a paperweight and laptop warmer though.
I'm really pleased with what they've done with it. They've tightened it up so it flows much better and picked up on a few things I wouldn't have thought of. The whole process has been really quite fascinating.
It's been a bit of a process for me too. The re-read brought out all sorts of neuroses. I utterly convinced myself that the book was shallow, full of clichés, wasn't that funny and just tried too hard. Then I got worried about the content. We only dipped our toes in the various cultures and various places before we moved on to the next, what if it was too once-over-lightly? What if I got the wrong end of the stick. I admired the people we met in the islands so very much the last thing I wanted to do was write something that might upset them. There were several times when I was sorely tempted to screw the whole thing up and bury it in the garden.
The other thing I'm a bit nervous about is that some of the extra material they were after was about living with mental illness. I agonised about whether to mention it in the book at all but then realised that sailing offshore with an anxiety disorder is actually something to be pretty proud of and that letting other people living with same condition know stuff like that is possible is actually pretty important.
It's a hard balance when you are trying to write a sailing yarn that makes people laugh – I hope I've managed it alright.
So poor old Paddy has had to put up with me second-guessing myself – What if it's self-indulgent? What if people hate it? He's been a trooper though and a real help. I know I'd be much more of a mess without him.
The publishers have been great, answering all my silly questions straight away and letting me know what's going to happen next. I have even seen a mock-up of the cover and, while its far too early to share, I can assure you it's going to be AWESOME!
Now the only thing I have left to do is write the acknowledgements, then the eds add my changes and it goes to a type-setter. If all goes well I may even be seeing a physical copy sometime in December. The plan is to have everything printed by February and in the shops in March or April.
Holy crap. I'm an author!
