There's a seemingly unstoppable trend towards more and more pixels. Greater resolution is heralded as the future of video. David Shapton doesn't think it is. He thinks there is another way. It's a radical suggestion, but completely plausible
Living memory is a wonderful thing. For anyone born in the last sixty years, it encompasses more change than any other successive generations have ever seen. And one of the things that we've got used to is increasing resolutions.
From our perspective, today, it all seems to have happened very quickly. Anyone working in professional video today will have very clear memories of Standard Definition video. Some of us still use it! But the current working paradigm is HD.
Next on the horizon
Next on the horizon is 4K. And, with almost unseemly haste, we're already talking about 8K. In fact, some organisations, like Sony and the BBC, kind-of lump together any video formats with greater than HD resolution, using expressions like "Beyond Definition" (although in Sony's case, that also means that resolution isn't everything and that there are other factors like increased colour gamut and contrast that matter as well).
Everyone wants better pictures. There's nothing wrong with the principle that - all things being equal - if you can record your images in a high resolution format, then you probably should.
The idea of digital video is now so well established that it's virtually passed into folklore. At the very least, the word "Pixel" is bandied around as if it's always been part of the language.
In reality, it's not been around for very long. Cathode ray tubes don't use pixels, and nor do VHS recorders or any type of analogue video equipment.
Before Pixels
Before pixels came along, video was recorded as a continuously varying voltage. It wasn't quantized, except, arguably, by the end of a scanning line and the completion of a video field.
Digital video is exactly that. It's video represented by digits. It's rather like "painting by numbers" except that rather than representing an image by drawing lines that separate distinct colours, a regular grid is imposed on the picture. Each element in the grid is a pixel, and it is allocated a number that can be used to look up the colour under that part of the grid. It really is that simple.
But of course, it's not the best way to represent an image. Nature isn't made up of a natural grid, and even if it was, it wouldn't match the superimposed pixel grid.
When you think about it, it really does take a stretch of the imagination to understand how something as subtle and organic as a flower can be represented by a string of binary digits. The two concepts might as well exist in different universes. And actually they do: the analogue domain and the digital domain.

Reece recently obtained a judgment against Elder for the debt and related fees, but he says the way Elder operated, from "using his elderly father as a shield" to providing an array of addresses on different financial documents, may have discouraged other claimants. "Usually, when a new builder has an attorney coming after them, they try to deal with it," Reece says. "His strategy was to use his father to try to make it impossible for himself to get served."
A woman who rented one of Elder's older homes on Troublesome Gulch Road for several months says she was visited by process servers several times. They were looking for Harry Elder. "They were starting to think I was his girlfriend and I was hiding him," says Laura Vantine. "I had to explain to them that Harry lived up the road. They said this was the legal address he gave."
Vantine no longer lives on Troublesome Gulch. Elder is suing her, claiming that she failed to pay several months' rent. Vantine says the money was used, with Elder's approval, to make repairs on the house after the spring 2003 blizzard damaged the roof. Three months ago she obtained a temporary restraining order against Elder, claiming that he entered her house without prior notice at odd hours, sometimes with "bank people" or his friends, and that he tried to run her off the road "with his very large SUV." The order was never made permanent; Elder says that Vantine's claims are unfounded and that a witness has testified in court that he wasn't even driving the day of the alleged road encounter.
But tenant-landlord hassles are the least of the challenges on Elder's plate these days. Later this month, he faces a contempt hearing in probate court in the matter of the estate of John W. Elder. Almost two years after his father's death, Harry Elder -- the estate's personal representative -- still has not provided the court with an inventory of the estate's assets at the time of his father's death.
A court order to produce such an inventory yielded a one-page response from Elder, stating that the estate's properties have "been in foreclosures" or remain "unsettled," that there are no funds to pay bills, and that the cash balance of the estate is a negative $5,800. (Elder says he simply neglected to file the right form.) The filing made no mention of the properties transferred out of the estate and now in the name of Harry's brother, or how Elder expects to address a $346,000 claim against the estate by Ralph McVey, who'd loaned money to John Senior and foreclosed on a second deed of trust on one of the four big houses.
"If somebody can unravel all this, they're probably a better person than me," says Eric Pringle, McVey's attorney. Pringle declined to comment further on the case, other than to describe it as "intricate" and Elder as "a very interesting guy."
An interesting guy who builds interesting houses. On a rain-soaked morning on Troublesome Gulch, Elder conducts a tour of the two houses he and his brother redeemed from foreclosure, including the one he now occupies. They're good-looking homes, full of alder and maple and cherry and pine, with sinuous, curved staircases and lots of light and spacious views of the surrounding hills.
"I put a lot of love and effort into these," Elder says. "We built each property unique to the landscape. We tried to create an Old World feel that will give a lot of comfort and warmth. I think we accomplished that."
Standing on the back deck of his 5,265-square-foot home, Elder can look down on Troublesome Creek and the foreclosed Tudor he hoped to be finishing by now. He still has $10,000 in fixtures for the Creekside home sitting in his garage.
"I spent about four years designing that house," he says. "I had a designer out of Rochester develop the Tudor look, and I brought in an entire semi, 30,000 or 40,000 pounds, of natural stone. It's kind of a heartbreak, to tell you the truth, to see it every day.... People are angry about not getting paid, but I'm angry that I didn't get a chance to finish them all."
But Elder is a man who strives to take the long view.
"Someday," he says, "there will be four happy homeowners."

Ghost production is a standard in mainstream music, and it happens more frequently as you climb the ladder. As a practice, it's actually not all bad. If both parties were consistently happy with their arrangements, nobody would have anything to say in regards. There are artists that don't mind rolling out of bed, working on sound design in their home studio, wrapping tunes, and collecting a sizable check as the artists that they are ghosting for claim ownership of records that they never worked on.
More than a dozen times last year, I've been handed a record that was later sold and repackaged to be a collaborative tune with an artist that never touched the song, or sold outright with the original creator's name removed. And because the proper paperwork and payment took place, you will never know what those tunes are. Everyone is walking away happy. The only way that you would ever be alerted to someone quietly using a ghost producer is if there is a public slip-up (hey, DJ Snake), paperwork being made public, or a lack of payment.
Sadly, this lack of payment happens more often than you can imagine. I've talked to dozens of producers that have had credits completely removed. Had their work published under someone else's name without their permission. Had stems stolen from them. They're quiet because they don't want to be seen as snitches, and don't want to rock the boat of opportunity that might pass them by down the road. They talk to me because they know I will speak to them without leaking specifics. But nearly every time, they refuse to comment publicly. I can do nothing but respect their wishes.
But this industry isn't comprised of simply industry insiders. And if you listen to mainstream dance music, you should get comfortable with the thought that you're probably being mislead. One of your favorite artists probably doesn't make the tunes that you praise them for. They are more human and less genius than you think. But there are rare instances like Benny Benassi, who actually cites his cousin Alle as his ghost producer. And goes even further by publicly using the term:
Sure, this isn't news. Beatport actually ran a marvelous interview back in July of last year with Alle Benassi where he says that "the DJ is the musical memory of the duo and brings the club vibe into the equation while the musician plays the parts." These cousins are collaborators that don't hide the moving parts to the machine, and it's commendable. DJs admitting to using ghost producers is becoming more commonplace, and we're applauding this open honesty.
We're seeing more and more mainstream artists willingly list their collaborators. Though Chuckie's forthcoming single "Dirty Funkin Beats" only lists his name on the artwork, he credits Maarten Vorwerk, someone who has been cited as a ghost producer for more than a dozen acts that include Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and Sandro Silva & Quintino. Vorwerk has repeatedly declined interviews to discuss this matter, and though the industry knows that his production is actually fueling quite a bit of mainstream dance music, he stays quiet and very few DJs actually admit his involvement. An instagram quote from Chuckie yesterday says: "My new club track "Dirty Funkin' Beats" that I produced in collaboration with the legend Maarten Vorwerk is out at the end of January! Stay tuned! #dirtydutch #djchuckie"
Vorwerk walks away with a check. Chuckie gets to focus on spinning records. Great music is heard by large audiences. And everyone walks away happy. But these DJs actually admitting that they work with (or not so much with) producers that make the tunes that they're pushing on tour is the last piece missing in order to turn ghost production into a positive business.
We also have seen honest dialogue from Bassjackers, who have an arrangement where Marlon Flohr publicly represents the brand, and Ralph van Hils produces. They don't shy away from it, speak on it openly and publicly, and both are happy with this arrangement. It's a business model where both parties contribute equally in their own way, and both are happy. Marlon doesn't have to worry about making records, and Ralph doesn't have to burn himself out touring on the road.
There's debate to whether or not ghost production hurts the Producer/DJ that has the ability to both create the tunes that they're putting their name on and play them out to massive audiences. Is the repackaging of work taking money out of other artist's pockets? Possibly. We're also seeing producers like MAKJ frown upon the practice, more for its lack of accountability than financial reasons:
Would anyone have a problem if DJs were honest and upfront about where their content came from? And if business is beneficial to all parties involved, is ghost production really a bad thing? Fans would no longer feel duped, producers could create on their own terms, and it would cease to be a taboo subject. And as this market is continuing to change and evolve, it would be wonderful to be the first generation of musicians and fans to steer this ship in the right direction.

We've seen plenty of variations on the now-canonical input device known as a keyboard, from touchscreen interfaces and, um, exterfaces to a tactile surface treatment (currently available on Kickstarter). However, a new keyboard concept has more in common with so-called index typewriters—as seen in hipstomp's typewriter round-up—than these superficial keyboard treatments, at least to the extent that it offers a more economic layout.
Specifically, Minuum improves on the concept of a linear arrangement of letters: screen-based UI and predictive text allows for a QWERTY layout to be transposed into a single line of letters. (It's worth noting that index typewriters were initially developed as a less expensive, more portable alternative to keyboard-based typewriters, though they were reportedly slower than handwriting in most instances.)
Minuum is a tiny, one-dimensional keyboard that frees up screen space while allowing fast, accurate typing. Current technology assumes that sticking a full typewriter into a touchscreen device is the best way to enter text, giving us keyboards that are error-prone and cover up half the usable screen space (or more) on most smartphones and tablets.
Minuum, on the other hand, eliminates the visual clutter of archaic mobile keyboards by adapting the keyboard to a single dimension. What enables this minimalism is our specialized auto-correction algorithm that allows highly imprecise typing. This algorithm interprets in real time the difference between what you type and what you mean, getting it right even if you miss every single letter.
The video is, as they say, a must-see:
Yes, the last bit is cool, but nota bene: it's currently an alpha-stage prototype, and Will Walmsley & co. are currently seeking funding on IndieGoGo. Suffice it to say that we'll be keeping an eye on this one... if all of the hypothetical wearable implementations become a reality, we could see the emergence of a new set of curious rituals.

I used to cut things from magazines and put them in a file and I never looked at them, then I tried a notebook and I never looked at them. I found a system using old style pocket photo albums that works for me that I want to share. I posted pics and more of an explanation on my blog if you are interested:

May be we could use this thread to share how we save things that inspire us or that we want to do. Or any other hints about keeping our crafting lives in order. I'm experienceing crafting creep as supplies and magazine articles appear all over the house. kathy |
Actually I put my clippings in regular file (tabbed)folders, and use a crate to hold them. Easy to drop in a clipping, and easy to pull out the folder to use. This holds a variety of information - from craft projects to painting inspirations. I mostly paint so I have my folders specifically titled, i.e. not animals, but horses, deer, etc. The plastic crate I have accepts hanging folders, so I place the file folders in hanging folders. Sometimes I may place a couple of file folders in one hanging folder if the subject matter is similar - i.e. the animal group above listed. I may have one for wild animals, with folders for big cats, birds of prey, etc. Christmas is too large to combine, so I have separate hanging folders for Santas, Angels, Snowpeople, etc. Kathy, your photo album idea is a good one, especially if each subject is placed in separate or divided albums! |

text: you asked... Q&A: Shift breech baby before birth? I'm at 36 weeks, and just found out my baby is breech. Can this change before delivery? Want to participate? Log in to share your thoughts Re: I'm at 36 weeks, and just found out my baby is breech. Can this change before delivery? Yes. Baby will move around in your womb right up until delivery, so it's possible that a shift to the head-down position will occur naturally.Your doc also may attempt to turn your baby through "version." This involves pushing or lifting your abdomen with his hands (and possibly the help of another person) to help baby roll forward or backward into the head-down position. Before the version, you'll have an ultrasound to determine position of baby and the placenta, and the amount of amniotic fluid. Baby's heart rate will be taken before and after, and ultrasound may be used during the turning for additional guidance. You also maybe given medication to relax your uterus and ease the turning.Version isn't usually attempted until after 36 weeks, because baby is still likely to change position before that. (And even after a successful version, baby may move back into the breech position.) But, since baby is growing right up until birth, version becomes more difficult as due date approaches because of the decreasing space in your womb. Sounds like an impossible equation, we know… but though there's certainly no guarantee the version will work, more than half of all attempts are successful.Though complications with version are unusual (meaning, don't let the following scare you too much!), they can include premature membrane rupture, heart rate problems, placental abruption or preterm labor. For this reason, the procedure will likely take place near a delivery room, where baby can quickly be delivered by cesarean section if necessary. The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists re: Q: Shift breech baby before birth? I had the procedure done today and it wasn't as bad as I had expected or had been told to expect. I had two doctors moving the baby - one at the head and one at the tush and they were able to sucessfully get the baby to turn. It was a little painful, but not unbarable. They monitored me for a few hours and then told me that I could go home and wait for labor to begin. I am just about 38 weeks along. Fingers crossed the baby doesn't flip back. Jenny249 | Q&A: Shift breech baby before birth? It can cange with my second child she was breech up until they day i was scheduled for the version which wasat 37 weeks. But before I went to the hosital I felt her flip into position. Which was a relie for me. mararo08 | Q&A: Shift breech baby before birth? I had a version today at just over 38 wks. They gave me a spinal to relax the uterus so I was numb from chest down. It was very strange and it still hurt quite a bit. But not as much as it could or even having a breech birth. Unfortuanetly it didn't work so unless she magically flips on her own in the next week I will have to still have a c-section, but on the positive side I am glad I knew before I went into labor and we tried all we could. Its better than go all through labor and finding out after all of that too. I wouldn't change my desicion but it was not pleseant. But baby was completely unstressed by the whole thing and doing just fine and thats all that matters. jeanie667 | Q&A: Shift breech baby before birth? you can find an acupuncturist who can do a procedure called moxa on your llittle toe for few hours & the baby will naturaly & safely turn. It works every time Melo2424 | Q&A: Shift breech baby before birth? My baby has been very happily breech for at least the past 2 1/2 months. When we found out she was heads-up we tried everything - moxibustion, acupuncture, pelvic tilts, inversions, homeopathy, you name it. None of the alternative methods worked to flip her; so we had an external cephalic version at 37 1/2 weeks. It was not nearly as bad as people had told me it would be - uncomfortable, yes, but not super painful. The baby did fine with the procedure and really the worst part was having to fast beforehand just in case an emergency c-section was necessary. Unfortunately, the doctors (two of them - one at her head and one at her tush) were not able to get her to turn fully around. Clearly our baby is already insistent on doing things her way! So, the c-section is scheduled for this coming Wednesday at 39 1/2 weeks. And while this is certainly not my first choice in the way of birthing, I am looking forward to meeting our little one and embracing her transition into the world even if it's through my belly. I write in because I know how difficult it was for me at first to try to come to terms with having a scheduled c-section and I think it helps to know there are others out there going through the same thing you are - and that a cesarean (while perhaps not ideal) is just another beautiful way to birth a baby. I wish you all luck with your babies turning and with your deliveries (via either route). alyssahs | Q&A: Shift breech baby before birth? Chiropractic Works! I have a good friend who is a chiropractor and is 100% on turning breech babies within a few days. Many times adjusting the pelvis and helping to release the ligaments that hold the uterus in place will give baby enough room to flip on her own. bwalkerdc | Q&A: Shift breech baby before birth? I just had my version done about 4 days ago. My son has been breech from day 1. They gave me an epidural and then a shot to relax my uterus and then attempted to turn him. But ofcourse, he's quite comortable where he's at, and they couldn't get him to turn. My version wasn't as painful during as it was later that night and a few days after. My epidural took twice as long as normal, and I got stuck over 6 times. Come to find out I have Scoliosis (didn't know I had), as well as the degenerative disc disease (which I knew I had). I was in alot of pain for about two days, but other than that it was smooth. There's a 50/50 chance.. and I was told that with first pregnancies the success rate is lower. SRobinson710 | Q&A: Shift breech baby before birth? I had a version done a few days ago. I didn't know what to expect as far as pain, but I was very uncomfortable. It hurt quite a bit. My baby's tush was not budging and was down in the pelvis. The furthest she could move her was as far as my hips. She tried unsucessfully 3 times to flip her, but she is stubborn like her mother. I was told that she still may flip on her own, but it is unlikely. I did start having contractions afterward so I was given a shot to relax my uterus, and everything else is looking good so far. firstname.lastname@example.com | Q&A: Shift breech baby before birth? They tried to the a version on me and it didn't work the baby's heart rate went down in to the 90's from the 130's so they didn't try again. So now we are going to have to schedule a c-section. otg1313 | Q&A: Shift breech baby before birth? Try doing a handstand in a pool. Sounds crazy when you're 9 mos pregnant, but 2 of my friend's 4 kids were in breech position and her midwife suggested doing handstands in a pool, and it worked for both. maw3282 | Q&A: Shift breech baby before birth? We are scheduled for the ECV tomorrow morning. I am very nervous!! I hope everything works out and he gets turned! raynelizabeth | Q&A: Shift breech baby before birth? I actually did this on my own over time. My baby has been breech since I accedentaly turned him at about 20 weeks. So When we were having sex I Had DH switch legs that he usually held up. I would push on the baby from the bottom to make him uncomfortable. It has worked so far! Last week we checked again & he is almost all the way head down! woo hoo! lildivastar16 | Q&A: Shift breech baby before birth? My version was unsuccessful and very painful - they give no pain meds at my hospital with the procedure. Don't want to scare anyone, but I was not prepared for the pain and I wish I'd known. angieboldt | Q&A: Shift breech baby before birth? I had the ECV today. It wasn't that bad but the baby wouldn't budge. So I had to schedule a c-section. colleen72102 | Q&A: Shift breech baby before birth? Yogis swear by Cat-Cow poses. Lots of them. 2-3 times a day. Also, if you can find a chiropractor that has training with the Webster technique, it's definitely worth a try to avoid surgery (if it's not in your birth plan)! kortney924 | Q&A: Shift breech baby before birth? ALSO I've read that babies do not like menthol, so some swear you can slather mentholatum ointment on the top of your bump and baby will turn away from it. kortney924 | Q&A: Shift breech baby before birth? Thanks for all the helpful info! I just found out yesterday that my baby is breech and of course started freaking out because I had no intention of having a c-section. I'm just over 35 weeks so there's still time for him to turn on his own. I've been on hands and knees quite a bit since yesterday ;-). If that doesn't do the trick, I'll try the version. rlbmari | Q&A: Shift breech baby before birth? It can change, as so many have said... My son-who is now nearly 3- was actually head down the entire pregnancy until the end of his 33rd week when he flipped-confirmed by ultrasound the next day... he was born emergency csection the following week at 34 weeks when my water broke, and he was still breeched. My daughter that is due in two weeks, is and has been the entire pregnancy breeched!!! and she doesnt seem to have any want to flip!! I was planning on trying for a VBAC with this pregnancy, but it seems she has other ideas. My doctor told me he did not want to try to flip her for risk of rupturing my previous incision... but if i go into labor and she is still breeched and my water has NOT broke he will try to flip her, but if my water breaks---bring on the c section. I'm hoping she flips before i go into labor, but have pretty much readied myself for another c section. Wishing all of you out there the best of luck with your breeched babies!! and congrats on the new bundles of joys! cfridenberg | Want to participate? Log in to share your thoughts

Library Sponsors Romance Novel Vandalizing Event for Cool Teens
Attention, Cool Teens who are like already totally over Valentine's Day: The Toronto Public Library has planned an event just for you! The Anti-Valentine's Day Anti-Party, as originally planned, would give prematurely jaded pre-adults the opportunity to vandalize romance novels. Totally punk rock, right?!

The Carbon Farming Initiative (CFI) allows farmers and land managers to earn carbon credits by storing carbon or reducing greenhouse gas emissions on the land. These credits can then be sold to people and businesses wishing to offset their emissions.
Interested parties are invited to make submissions on the exposure draft of the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) Amendment (Additionality Test and Other Measures) Regulation 2013 by 3 July 2013. The Department has prepared an explanatory note to assist stakeholders in their consideration of the draft regulation.
The draft regulation provides for the addition of five new kinds of project to the 'positive list' of eligible activities under the CFI.
The positive list is an important part of the CFI additionality test, which also includes a regulatory additionality test (meaning the project is not required by law). The positive list identifies activities that would be considered additional and hence eligible to participate in the scheme.
When adding activities to the positive list, a key consideration is whether carrying out the activity goes beyond common practice in the relevant industry or part of an industry, or in the environment in which the activity is to be carried out. The changes proposed by the draft regulation are based on recommendations made by the Domestic Offsets Integrity Committee. Further information on the common practice assessment is detailed on the Positive list page.
The draft regulation will also expand the kinds of projects under the CFI that are able to generate Kyoto Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs). For the second Kyoto commitment period, Australia has decided to include additional activities in its Kyoto accounts.
These additional activities are grazing land management, cropland management and additional revegetation. These activities will be eligible to receive Kyoto ACCUs for abatement from 1 January 2013, i.e. from the start of the second Kyoto commitment period. Further information is detailed on the Kyoto and non-Kyoto activities page.
Preparation of technical guidelines to clarify exactly what will not be included in Australia's Kyoto accounts is underway and should be ready for publication by the time this amendment comes into effect.
Comments on new positive list proposals should be submitted using the submission template (DOC 200 KB) and sent to the address in the template. Comments can include any concerns about the proposed activity and whether it should be addressed in the negative list.
This exposure draft process will inform the finalisation of the amendment regulation, which is expected to be made in the second half of 2013.
Making a submission
Where possible, submissions should be lodged electronically in a text-based format (such as PDF, DOC) via email to firstname.lastname@example.com
Submissions may alternatively be sent to the postal address below to arrive by the due date.
Submissions will not be treated as confidential unless this is specifically requested, and may be made publically available. If a submission (or an extract of a submission) is to be kept confidential, please indicate this in the submission.
The Department reserves the right not to consider late submissions.

I think Intel has a raft of opportunities. However, like a lot of established tech firms, Intel is a big bureaucracy and it does fantastic things but in a half hearted way.
One gig they missed was that they didn't really push a mass market Linux on Intel consumer device, even though Intel has the best solution to offer (for non-gamers anyway) with a stable in-kernel open source drivers for graphics/wifi etc that just always works. The lack of a big push has allowed Android on ARM to become the post-Windows consumer OS, which it will exploit over the coming years.
It is not too late for Intel to turn it around, but I would not bet any money on it. Whatever has stopped them putting their foot on the gas is probably still there.

At the most optimistic, Wayland is still one or two years away from mainstream use. Even then, most apps will run under the rootless X server.
X will finally disappear if and when all apps upgrade to GTK3 or QT5 (which might be never).
Wayland is X designed properly, however it is basically the same thing. It does not seem to yet acknowledge the wider changing context within which desktop Linux has to operate, i.e. we are moving away from a world where manufacturers produce devices for Windows (and don't care about desktop Linux) into a world where manufacturers produce devices for Android (and still don't care about desktop Linux).
Canonical became flame-bait central over Mir and their reactive 'community engagement' (troll feeding), but I wonder if they have a point, that by the time Wayland is widely deployable it will be outdated?

Compared to ASUS and MSI motherboards, Intel ones are (were) overpriced. I can't imagine anyone will miss them.
That was exactly my first thought. Intel didn't price their boards very competitively, probably out of a desire not to annoy the downstream manufacturers. I often admired the Intel mobos but always then went and bought an ASUS instead, the extra money saved can be spent on the processor and RAM.

Exactly, when the hype dies down, everyone will go back to their keyboards connected to static desktops.
However, I actually do run Emacs on my Samsung S3 using a small bluetooth keyboard. Nothing wrong with the form factor if you stick to a resonable line width (e.g. 80 characters). The port however to Android is immature and sometimes dies because Android does not provide all the shared libraries a normal Linux distro would, however, once they get that sorted out it will be better. You still have to prop the phone up somehow though which is not always simple.

I'm getting my duct work repaired/replaced. Contractor coming out Monday to finalize the quote & paper work. I need to have a general sense of what I should be getting when having this work done. I know that all new flex should be R8. They are re-doing the plenhum and making it come off the blower in more of a Y shape. They are raising the existing unit off the floor (not sure why). They are putting in a bypass, they are adding an auto shut off, they are adding dampers to some of the supply lines to better control air flow. They are ensuring my 2 zones will work properly after install. They will be using mastik tape. What else should I ask for or require them to do? I've heard of a supply air sensor, do I need one?
Thanks |

this is that $4200 job? is it a repair or a replacement? some areas are better sealed with mastic that comes in a bucket and is applied with a brush. I generally have both on hand. I would look for more specifics. repair or replace? if you have a trunk line and flex comming off of the trunk then unless they externally insulate the trunkline then it is still R4... what do you currently have and what are the problems? if you keep your posts in one thread it is easier for everyone to keep track. best of luck |

Yes, this is the $4200 job. It's a repair job but they are replacing a lot of stuff, mainly the plenhum and some trunk.

- Posted by countryboymo (My Page) on Sat, Apr 21, 12 at 23:26
I was told just nailing up insulation board over the studs and existing insulation on knee walls and bonus room walls made a significant difference as long as it is 3/4" or thicker if spray foam insulation is out of budget. I also have seen barriers made to box allow extra blow in fiberglass or cellulose over the duct work. Insulating the ductwork might not seem to make that large of a difference to total output temp but it will make it get to that temp much faster if the ductwork isn't the same temp as the attic. |

Hi everyone! I'm new here, and to any kind of gardening in general :)
I was wondering if I could get a few honest opinions on my mess of a yard!! (It came looking like this, and on a shoe string budget, and now that the inside is done, we are finally able to to something with the outside!) We are getting ready to paint the exterior a soft butter yellow, the deck and door a darker sage green, and cream trim (just to give an idea, I'm not sure if that will help?) Anyways, the previous owners had this, large aviary type thing DIRECTLY in the middle of the yard. I want to start landscaping and sort of keep a rustic cottage type feel, but was wondering, should I keep this thing in the yard, and plant some sort of vine to grow up it (Wisteria, maybe?), and add some seating and string lights? Or should I just yank it out?? It would be the FIRST thing people would see driving up and block the view of the house though?? Any ideas? Honest opinions are fine :) (I know it's bad, That's why we're working on it! LOL) Thanks guys!! http://s54.photobucket.com/albums/g92/sway_559/House/ |

First decide what you are going to do with the area--dog lot or landscaped garden. It has a great looking roof, just needs a little something done w/the sides (remove everything but support posts, and box them in with wider boards etc). It would be great for shade with a sitting/eating area. Part of the side or a corner could be trellised with vines-NO to wisteria because it needs a major support and would pull the whole thing down, add some flowering shrubs, low growing evergreens, perennials/annuals in the ground, hanging baskets around the perimeter and a path w/gardens to the house and viola! Great relaxing place to recover when working in your yard. Fix a pad for your grill and enjoy entertaining. If you worked it into your garden I think it could be very attractive and functional. |

I also think a rustic garden should be prehistory. I have mixed feelings about the structure. It could be interesting, but the problem is the location directly in the middle of the yard. My gut feeling is to get rid of it. Is is possible to move it? I dont mean to say something you probably already realize, but a good mowing of everything there is going to really give you a better perspective. I am sure you realize that...but it is a very cheap solution to the overgrown look. |

Link to the original photos: http://s54.photobucket.com/albums/g92/sway_559/House/ That's weird, all right! The strange internal bracing doesn't exactly inspire confidence in how safe it is. The posts look like 4x4's -- are they large enough? Another thing I notice is that the posts are at the corners on one end, but a foot or two from the corners on the other end. (Someone ran out of wood?) Is the front yard the only outdoor space you have? It looks like the only part of the thing that's worth keeping is the roof. It doesn't look like there's any pavement under the structure. So, like drtygrl, I wonder if it would be possible to lift the roof off the too-small posts and move it to a better location. But another consideration is whether the roof is large enough to be a usable amount of shade over a patio. And it might matter also where in California you're located. Do you have Fresno's climate or San Fran's? How necessary is a roofed area? If you think it's sturdy enough, you could put a couple of chairs and a table there and see whether or not it's a good size. |
Thank you all so much for your comments and advice!! @Frankie Lynn, Adding some trellis for the vines and a pathway would be nice! I'm hoping if I can have a somewhat decent yard and keep the dogs ;) (eventually when we get the backyard fenced in, they'll go in there with a dog run). @Ideasshare, Thank you so much for taking time to do that! I'm going to have to look into what evergreen, and pre-history are! LOL. What are the shrubs in the very front of the first photo? (I have no idea what I'm talking about but, Boxwood? I don't know why that popped in my head LOL) Also, I love the cherry blossoms(?), and in the second photo, the walkway is amazing! @drtygrl, Exactly, my problem! LOL. I think if it was off to the side, we would totally keep it! We could move it off center, or to another part of the property (there's eight acres), but it just seems like a lot of work, for something that, the roof is the only part worth doing anything with. They made these two strange concrete rows on each side to bolt in the posts? (it didn't show in the pics). And yes, It will be mowed tomorrow! LOL. It's been raining like crazy, and then the "lawn" (mainly weeds at this point) shot up like, well, weeds! :) @Missingtheobvious, You have no idea how strange the previous owners made things! LOL. They did ALOT of "creative handywork" themselves. Most of the work we've put in (in the house and other parts of the property) is undoing what they've done and fixing it properly. We have a very large concrete patio and wooden deck, shaded by a huge "fruitless mulberry tree" (I was told that's what it is?). So needing shade and seating isn't really an issue, I was trying to think of something to do with it? Like maybe I wasn't seeing the potential on the dilapidated thing? LOL. I'm also in between Bakersfield and Fresno, so it gets HOT! :) I'm sure I'll have TONS of questions as I stumble my way through this! :) |

Maybe it could be the roof of a shed? (Somewhere else in the yard). Or half chicken coop, half shed. Or you could offer it on Craigslist or Freecycle to whoever will come (self-insured) and remove it. I know what you mean about What the Previous Owners Did. The people who built my house live behind me, and are very nice people: probably much more normal than your Previous Owners. But if I ask about the house, there are things they don't want to talk about. (Like why there's an area covered with rounded white quartz stones between two parts of the foundation bed. I eventually figured out the stones cover part of the original cement driveway, from before the house was added on to. But I've no idea why the cement's a taboo subject.) I used Fresno as an example because I was born there. Never actually lived there, but visited my grandparents. I envy you your eight acres, but not the climate! |
Bubba's idea of a mother-in-law addition, perhaps? I really don't think there's anything you can do with this structure that will prevent visitors from thinking that you are eccentric. Even its creator had doubts about its stability, as witnessed by the crude attempt at cross-bracing. I see someone has beat me to the suggestion that you place it in the "Free" section of Craigs List. |

I make these decisions all the time. I'm a Landscape Architect with a lot of workload. First my friend define YOUR interests for the backyard. A professional such as myself could guide you away from really bad ideas. Think about the maintainance of the thing you aspire to, it matters. The question isn't about should you keep the thing but what you want to achieve. |
We yanked it down today!! What a difference it's already made! We managed to save the roof and will use it for another project elsewhere on the property. But Man, am I glad we decided to take it down! :) @ Whitecap, LOL at your response! "Bubba" and "eccentric" aren't quite the words I'm looking for, for my yard! @Landscape, Thanks for the advice! In the end, I just wanted it gone. I like the feeling of a "shabby chic" style, but in the end with the placement and size, it was just wrong. Also, I've tried looking up "pre-history" gardens, but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be looking at? Can anybody send me in the right direction, or type of plants that fit this style? I'm intrigued :) Thanks so much!! :) |
I think your dogs will enjoy having the roof as part their new enclosure for a place to get out of the sun during the summer and rain in the winter. |
I was just joking about the prehistory thing. Sorry :) Ideashare comments on a lot of threads here, but a lot of the meaning is lost in translation. I was just making a bad joke - I hope you didnt spend too much time on it! |
@Ann, The dogs are indoor dogs, and in much more than outside (One is an escape artist), But yes, they will have a new nice shady structure this weekend (though it won't be with the roof :D). @Drtygrl, LOL! That explains so much!! All I kept finding were pictures of Dinosaurs or swamps! Hahahaha. I just kept wondering if it was some kind of "sub-genre", and I was missing an important part of a puzzle. LOL ;P |
I am so sorry sway! LOL ;) |
LOL drtygrl, it was funny! I'm planting Grandpa Ott Morning Glories around the fence line this weekend! I'm excited! I've read how invasive it is, but I don't think I'll mind, and I LOVE the way it looks :) Lets just hope I can actually make it grow (I have a tendency to kill anything green LOL). And if I end up kicking myself in the rear later, I'll chalk it up to beginners mistakes LOL. There's a whole thread just on that topic! I'll have my own story to add :) Hahahaha. Any advice on planting them? (besides not to ;P LOL) |
Not really - I have never planted them because of the invasive thing. My mom used to have them when she was a child and she said she would pick the flower and make a dress for a fairy doll :) Are you using seeds? Are you going to remove the grass around the fence? I guess that would probably be my advice - remove the grass, edge it and maintain it so there is not grass growing all around. you could add some compost to the soil, but if they really are invasive you probably dont need to! |

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

That is gorgeous!! What a great design ~ did that just pop out of your head? Can you tell how big it is? |
It is about 18 in across & about 30 in long. I did have all the glass cut & foiled & the nuggets foiled before I began. No I did not think it up. One of our local stained glass shops does workshops & I take them. Dolly is so creative & I usually take a couple a year from her...vintage window, stained glass garden totem & my mosaic BB fountain.

Herb, Bernie & Walter vs. Players Inc. So Far…
A lot of people are still barely aware of the lawsuit filed against the NFLPA and its subsidiary, Players Inc. Players Inc. has been the licensing arm of the NFLPA, allegedly set up to "represent" NFL players, past, present and future (Gee – does that sound familiar?) in the licensing of their images and the promotion of their respective teams. Any of you fans who have bought NFL merchandise – from jerseys and gear all the way down to your basic bubble gum cards – will already know that it's all big business. You can't produce anything with a team's logo or a player's likeness without the absolute consent of Players Inc. – along with a healthy licensing royalty – unless you want to see the inside of a courtroom under intense fire from their corporate attorneys!
The New York Times' Alan Schwarz covered the initial filing in February, 2007 (read the entire article by clicking HERE). Here's a little detail on the scale of their licensing revenues:
"According to a news release from Players Inc. last month, the organization, formed in 1994, handles $750 million in retail licensing business on behalf of all 1,800 current players as well as 3,500 retired players, generating more than $100 million in annual revenue. While no specifics were offered, it is common industry knowledge that the vast majority of the revenue derives from the use of the names and likenesses of active players."
The start of the trial is finally set for September 22, 2008 in San Francisco and several other players have also been called to testify in this first step towardstransparency in the actions of the NFLPA and Players Inc. The suit is led by Bernie Parrish, Herb Adderley and Walter Roberts, with a cast that will also include testimony from Gene Upshaw and Commissioner Roger Goodell. The old "But I was out of the country" excuse will not work in this trial like it did for Congress. So it should prove to be an interesting case that gets a lot of media coverage. For those of you who are interested, we found a legal documents site (Justia) that has most of the filings available for reading (click HERE to access the case files). (CAVEAT: There are lots of Motions and counter filings, probably close to a hundred – you'll need a long evening to get through it all!)
And here's Jeff Nixon's open letter to the members at large (posted on Fourth and Goal), urging all players to send along their words of encouragement to Bernie, Herb and Walter:
Dear Alumni:
The trial date for the Class Action lawsuit filed by Herb Adderley, Bernie Parrish and Walter Roberts against the NFLPA and Players, Inc. is set for September 22, 2008. It will begin at 9:00 am in the Federal Courthouse on Golden Gate Avenue, San Fransisco, CA. There are currently 2,100 former players who signed a group licensing agreement with the NFLPA that are a party to this lawsuit.
It took a lot of courage and sacrifice for these 3 men to stand up to the Union and hold them accountable… and all retired players owe them a debt of gratitude.
Right now, and especially during the trial, we need to support these guys in every way possible. If you can attend any of the court sessions it would be very helpful to the cause. The trial will last for about two weeks. You can bet your bottom dollar that the TV Networks will be all over this story and therefore it is important to have some of our alumni present both inside and outside the Courthouse. If you are a former player and live in the vicinity of San Francisco, do your best to get there. California has the largest number of retired players in the Nation.
Whether we win or lose, the fact that the books will be opened and the "discovery" part of the lawsuit will become public knowledge will be a real eye-opener for many people. This action also lets the "powers that be" know that they can no longer operate in a vacuum of secrecy and silence.
In closing, I think we should also thank the lawfirm of Manett, Phelps & Phillips for taking on this case. This was an uphill battle from the start, but they have performed magnificently just getting this to trial. You never know how much you really like lawyers …until you need one.
"As long as the world shall last there will be wrongs, and if no man objected and no man rebelled, those wrongs would last forever." – Clarence Darrow.
On behalf of the 2,100 – and all retired professional football players – Thank you Herb, Bernie and Walter for your objections and your rebellion!
Jeff Nixon
Buffalo Bills Alumnus
Board Member – Fourth & Goal
P.S. Please send Herb, Bernie and Walter a message to let them know you stand with them.
Herb: firstname.lastname@example.com
Bernie: email@example.com
Walter: firstname.lastname@example.com

Why did I not try this sooner?
This is the blush I have been searching for the past two years.
I have tried every brand from BB to YSL.
I was stuck with Dandelion cause it was pretty nice on my pale asian skin. But this LM is just absolutely beautiful. Even Dandelion seemed to turn a bit reddish on me. This one has a hint of peach which seems to
calm the redness and give my face a fresh glow.
I love this!!!!
I am buying one more just in case they discontinue.

I must register a dissenting vote on this. I love blush since I am very pale and look washed out and sickly without it, and I'm constantly on the lookout for new ones. I had high hopes for Rose Petal based on the reviews, and the color indeed appears lovely from a distance, if a bit delicate, but close up I could see it pooling into my pores (which are not that big on my cheeks!). I didn't find it to be buildable; a little bit was not enough color but adding more made it clearly sit atop my skin. As a brunette I've had more success with deep colors, like NARS Outlaw, for a natural, from-within glow. I can see this working well for a pale blonde or redhead with perfectly smooth skin, though. I also object to the tiny compact which I found hard to open. Back to Sephora it goes!

I'm adding to the love for this product. I used NARS Orgasm for ages and I got fed up of the sparkle. This is a lovely matte, fresh pink that is perfect for fair skin. It is highly pigmented and you don't need much, so I hope it will last a long time. V happy with it!

This little blush is AMAZING. Seems like it wouldn't be anything special when you see it in the pan, but adds the most youthful, brightening, attractive flush of color when I apply it. I think it is a true soft pink with a little warmth to it which keeps it from looking too little girlish. I combined it with Chanel Mademoiselle lipstick and the effect was really pretty. I can't imagine that this wouldn't look good on anyone with fair skin (and probably darker complexions too). A nice complement to some of my other warmer neutral Laura Mercier blushes.

In my opinion, a good blush is one that, immediately after applied to this 40-year-old face, makes me look 10 years younger. This blush does just that. Love it.

My HG powder blush (for cream blush I use Revlon in Rosy Glow). Somehow this blush gives skin a luminous glow without any sparkle. I hate sparkles in blush, which is why NARS Orgasm disappointed me. I wear makeup to look attractive to men, and men love pretty, glowing skin that doesn't look like makeup - which this blush accomplishes.
It looks quite pink on the brush but doesn't streak and is buildable with a light hand. I'm very pale, so I don't think this would be too dark on anyone. My only complaint is that the packaging is very small for the price (but at least it's sturdy).

Oh yes, I would buy this again. This may be my forever blush. I bought it because so many of you ladies said I should. :) I have been a fan of LM for a couple years now, after getting a free makeover. I had tried the cream blush, which was not my favorite - too splotchy. But this may be perfect. It goes on so smooth and sheer - it really looks like I've been out for a brisk walk. The color is so pretty and light and very buildable. I think this would flatter a lot of skin tones. It's pretty expensive and I don't care for the small size, although I will say LM compacts don't feel cheap - they're very surdy,

An online-only branch of Equity that will be open to all members and will have the same democratic rights as the union's other branches is to be launched this year.
The union has revealed that the internet-based branch will operate via its website, allowing members to log on, discuss proposals and make decisions through meetings held at specified times.
Martin Brown, assistant general secretary at Equity, said the idea of an online branch had been discussed for about three years.
He said the branch would be "an online democratic entity" and was aimed at enfranchising members, specifically those who were unable to attend existing groups because of their location.
Brown described the branch as "an enormously exciting prospect" and added: "I've not heard of any other democratic organisation that is trying this. There are online procedures like polling and forums, but an actual online branch, with the same democratic rights as a real branch? We may be pioneers here."
He said that the union had worked on how to create an online structure where its members could "engage and have discussions". This would enable them to make "proper and respectable decisions that will have exactly the same weight as people actually sat in meetings, talking to each other".
However, he said the length of meetings online was likely to be longer than those at physical branches and that there would be procedures to "ensure anyone who votes on a motion has engaged in the whole debate around that motion".
He also said that only one online branch was planned, adding that more could follow if the union "has an unmanageably large number of members" for the first.
