By Lee Ann Herring-Olvedco
Over the past few days as I have been enduring the storms here in the Bluegrass state. I have found myself battling thoughts about how dreary this weather can make one feel. Yet, the ironic thing is I have found admiration in the beauty and the strength of the storms at the same time. I have found myself observing in wonderment as the transformative splendor of the lightning has lit up the sky and horizon while the authority of the storm's down pour managed to drown out the visibility of anything for miles. At that moment it dawned on me, storms are inevitable, an essential release from mother nature.
Nietzsche once said, "What a person "is" begins to betray itself when his talent declines- when he ceases to show what he can "do" Talent is also finery; finery is also a hiding place.
Disappointment is a fragment of life that everybody needs to identify how to deal with at particular point. Storms are inevitable. Every so often discontent can be an instigator to move onward and strive for something else, something more.
Unfortunately, the disappointment can hover longer for more than we care to have it around. Those constant hardships will either prove to make or break you, or least that's what I thought. Unfortunately, Kentucky Football has a different agenda this season to get through this storm, and it has proved not to be nearly enough to withstand the damage of the storm's damage.
A few days ago I posed a lot of theories on the state of the program, and for once it wasn't something that could be sugar coated, nor should it have been. When are we going to wake up and realize that our foundation is barely holding on in this storm, and is going to crumble? In the midst of it we are losing our talent, drive and ability to even look like an SEC program should look like, and is it really worth it?
It is quite interesting in a state that will go to financial milestones to produce the best Bourbon, Basketball and Derbies this side of the Mason-Dixon Line, but when it comes to an SEC football program there is no sign of that. If you truly want to do something you will, if you don't want to you won't. For this program it seems the latter is what is taking face these days.
It leaves me to think that perhaps the only thing we can do now is let the program die. Wait, I know what you are thinking, and I am not saying it should be discarded. What I mean to say is sometimes things have to die or fade away to re-emerge into something new, something better. For the past years the program clearly has lacked any luster that could remotely scream "salvage me". At this point it's time to move forward, let the past burn in the flames, and let the ashes be all that ever were of Kentucky Football 2012.
Not to say that we should put this season on the back burner by any means, after all there is still a hell of a lot of football to be played. However, it's time to resurrect ourselves from the ashes into a new life. That means it is time for a new face, a new identity, and new belief. Not just a buy into something that we think can win, but we know will win.
The time has come to demand something tangible from this program and make it accountable for playing like a real SEC football team. The first tangible step I see in doing this is not just in the financial means or naming a new head coach, but in our players. This team is anchored by the reigns of youth, that's a fact that is not going to change in the next eight weeks. The change begins with these young players.
This core of talent that has proved to have something to ignite needs to be at the forefront of our playbook. I hear time and time again excuses that they don't have enough experience or don't have enough play packages to put them in the mix. Of course they don't have experience, most of these kids are fresh out of high school ball, or have been on the sidelines at UK seeing this program drown itself on things that are illusions of success.
Obviously if our team was stacked with effective experience I would say have the young kids pay their dues and wait in line. Wake up call!. We aren't that team, and we never will be if we don't get these young players in now. I know Joker wants to show loyalty to the vets that are 4th year and 5th years, playing these guys and getting them reps. That is noble and all, but that's not good coaching. That only allows talent to fade and settle for mediocrity. There is nothing logical about that. Allowing a player to lose that integrity and be willing to settle is not something a program should ever want to be the poster child for. Unfortunately, this is the road Kentucky Football is heading down if we don't burn this program now and start anew.
At the end of the day, everyone can put their two cents in about ways to make this program work. However, in the end it takes the program itself to wake up and realize that this illusion they have created of something that is effective, is nothing more than smoke and mirrors.
"Out of my ashes will rise a new phoenix. A soaring being returning from death proving once again that life is eternal. I live forever because the spirit never dies. I will return in another body in another time, but it is me. The me who is me now will always be. As long as I live, I learn. And I live forever. -Carmen Colombo
Even in the darkest of moments there is still beauty in the disarray, and that is the self-thought that there is a chance to start anew and rise from the ashes into what you were meant to be.

College of Law › About the College of Law › News, Events, and Multimedia › News › TU College of Law Holds Professionalism Day for First-Year Students
Friday, February 26, 2010
The University of Tulsa College of Law hosted Professionalism Day for 1Ls on January 23, 2010.
All first-year TU law students participated in programming that included topics such as setting professional goals, managing the stress of law school and discussing the state of the legal market.
The day began with a keynote address by John R. Woodard III, a 1967 graduate of the law school, partner at Feldman, Franden, Woodard & Farris, and chairman of the Tulsa County Bar Association Professionalism Committee. He illustrated the importance of professionalism by sharing actual orders judges have given over the years addressing the conduct of attorneys in their courtrooms.
Alumni Marvin Lizama (JD '09), Dana Baldwin (JD '00), and Lauren Williams (JD '09) fielded questions during a question-and-answer panel, and Kevinn Matthews (JD '98) gave a presentation on goal setting.
"I think we all have a better understanding that acquiring professional skills is as critical to our professional success as our knowledge of the law itself," said first-year law student Jim Watzke.
Janet K. Levit, Dean of the TU College of Law and Dean John Rogers Endowed Chair, said that the law school has strengthened its emphasis on professionalism training for all students.
"Much like the Continuing Legal Education requirements incumbent upon licensed attorneys, Professional Day is intended to give students a new or different perspective on the law and its practice," she said. "Employers expect our graduates to be prepared to represent themselves and their firms well. As a result, these programs are an important part of a TU legal education."

Epoxy & Pillar Bedding Details / Instructions Jump to: Pillar Installation Instructions | Epoxy Bedding Instructions These instructions may be used with any suitable epoxy; however Stocky's Bedding Gel was designed to take advantage of the latest technological advancements in epoxy research. It has the best possible advantages built into it for those that want a butter-smooth, no run pillar and bedding epoxy that provides the strongest possible bond to aluminum, wood and fiberglass-composite gunstocks.Stocky's Gel was designed to take advantage of the latest technological advancements in epoxy research. In today's hi-tech age there's tons of epoxies out there, literally one for every conceivable application, but none as time-tested in the firearms community and certainly none easier to work with. So we got some inexpensive containers and offer it here for a lot less than you'd otherwise pay. This way we can also make up kits that include our pillars with just the right amount of epoxy for pillar installations only, through full-length bedding kits. If you want pricing on quarts or gallons give us a ring.
We have our own pillars machined from solid aluminum tube. They are also available in our inexpensive bedding kits. Pre-cut to standard factory (Rem 700) lengths, they have grooves to hold the epoxy (and lock them into place) and sized to precisely fit the holes made by our Perfect Pillar Driller (9/16") to make your job easier. If you are bedding a rifle model other than the 700, measure the thickness of your stock at the takedown screws and cut the pillars to length. I'd highly recommend doing your own epoxy bedding job. It's easy to do in an evening (on your (protected) kitchen table if necessary) and will get about all your rifle has to offer out of it, especially when using a good fiberglass or laminated hardwood stock. I've seen plenty of non-MOA factory rifles shoot well under an inch, some under 1/2", following a simple epoxy bedding job.
Pillar Installation Material Requirements Directions: 2. Insert pillars into holes to check for length and fit. The pillar should be flush with the stock under the receiver (bottom of the receiver radius) as this is the important point. If they protrude from the bottom of the stock (some stock designs are a bit skinnier than standard) simply lay a piece of 300-400 grit Emory cloth on the table and slide one end of the pillar across it to shorten it, and polish the sanded end with 0000 steel wool if desired. 3. Put on the rubber gloves. 4. Using mixing stick, mix a teaspoon of each component smoothly until all one color. Don't whip it like cake-batter; this gets air bubbles into the mixture. 5. Wet-out the inside of the holes you drilled in the stock with thin layer of epoxy. Give it a minute to soak in while you coat the pillars. 6. Fill the grooves of the pillars with epoxy and coat the sides with a very thin layer of it. Keep the container you mixed the epoxy in so you'll know how fast its setting-up (hardening). Review the remaining steps now (below) and prepare the pillars for insertion as directed. There's no rush, you have several minutes before the epoxy starts to set-up. 7. Press pillars flush (or slightly below) into the stock. Wipe off all oozing epoxy. Check inside the holes for stray glue and remove with a Q-tip. Double-check pillar depth because you may have moved it when wiping off the extra epoxy. 8. Before the glue sets-up hard check the pillar depth again so they don't harden in the wrong spot. 9. Wait a day or 2 before mounting and shooting. You can glass-bed it if desired as soon as the epoxy is set-up, usually four or five hours.
Directions: 2. Using a Dremel tool, course sandpaper or other implement, remove the finish in the area to be bedded. This is generally the region from the forward end of the magazine, thru the recoil lug mortise, to the chamber portion of the barrel; to a distance of about 1/8" below the top of the stock. Leave it as rough as practical because the epoxy will adhere better, in fact you can rough it up even more with some course sandpaper if desired. Don't worry, you will not even see it once completed. 3. Prepare stress areas for a thicker layer of epoxy: Undercut (like a dovetail) the area behind the recoil lug. Create 5 or 6 depressions around the front pillar for extra epoxy thickness. The goal here is to create some 'holes' to work epoxy into for added strength. 4. Put on rubber gloves. Using the swap provided, put a thin coating of release agent on any metal part that may come in contact with epoxy. This may include screws, etc.. Let dry completely before proceeding. (Stocky note: Pam no-stick spray vegetable oil works O.K. as release agent for small parts and screws also.) Special Notes: If there are any holes or other recesses that epoxy could get in to cover them with tape and/or fill them with modeling clay. Personally, we prefer to simply avoid these areas (like the trigger region, bolt release linkage, etc.) Put release agent over the tape. Failure to do so will result in a permantly stuck metal! Some folks also like to put a piece of blue tape on the front of the recoil lug while bedding. This will make it a bit easier to take your rifle apart down the road by making the lug mortise bigger (looser). We don't do this because we like a tight lockup but you may want to. 5. Mix remaining epoxy, color (if applicable) to match and lay it into the stock evenly, like you are frosting a cake. Save a dab of mixed epoxy for timing the cure. Don't whip it like cake-batter, this gets air bubbles into the mixture. 6. Put in the metal slowly and evenly, let it squish the epoxy where it wants/needs to go. Tighten the takedown screws slowly, turning one screw, then the other, back and forth until they are almost hand tight. 7. Using a mixing stick (wipe it off if necessary) run it down the stock-to-metal joints to remove any epoxy where it may have extruded. 8. Let it sit for a couple minutes and finish tightening as usual. If you have a particular torque setting, use it. 9. Repeat Step 7. Rubber-glove covered fingers work well too. (Stocky Hint: Clear, white vinegar works as a solvent for epoxy. Q-Tips or a cloth, dipped in it and run down the seam, makes for a really, really professional job. It temporarily turns the glue white but don't fret - it'll cure to the proper color.) 10. Every hour or so test the cure by visiting the dab of mixed epoxy you saved in Step 5. Once the mixture is fairly hard (just past rubbery) you may carefully remove the metal. This is about 4-5 hours at 75°F. Rap the underside of the barrel just in front of the forend tip with your palm. Careful use of a rubber/wood/leather mallet (or a length of 2x4 pine) in the same spot sometimes frees stubborn receivers. The most common tight spot is the recoil lug, remember all you're trying to do is release the bond with the release agent, one commonly must 'see-saw' the barrel and tang slightly. Do not bang on the screws or anything else for that matter. 11. Rinse the release agent off the metal with hot water and wiping it down. Using hot water heats the metal and causes the remaining moisture to evaporate quickly. A fairly damp chamois works well on the stock regions that agent is covering. The agent creates a thin 'skin' that may also be simply peeled off. 12. Once the epoxy has hardened completely (24 hours) you can lube the metal slightly and put everything back together. We recommend waiting the better part of a week prior to shooting (next weekend). You'll notice that the epoxy will continue to cure for a very long time, eventually becomes very hard, like glass.

Perhaps the only foe consistently stopping the Cowboys from having the most improsing fantasy offense are bones and muscles, and their ripping and breaking. Since all humans have bones and muscles, that's a problem.
The Housekeeping
Notable Additions: None with a fake football impact
Notable Draft Picks: Travis Frederick, Gavin Escobar, Joseph Randle
The Marquee Men (the elitest of the elite)
Dez Bryant (ADP: 15.3): Bryant is my favorite receiver to watch out of all the receivers not named Calvin Johnson. He's far too large to be able to run fast, run far, and jump high, often all in the same play. He's that damn good, and his numbers (92 catches for 1,382 yards and 12 touchdowns last year) will consistently be inflated by the Cowboys' high-volume passing which led to 138 targets.
There's a problem with Bryant for us, though, and it's the same one you'll deal with if you're the type who's all about cornering the wide receiver market early with one of the elite options available. To get Bryant (or Johnson, or A.J. Green, or Brandon Marshall, and often also Julio Jones and Demaryius Thomas), you'll have to give up a second-round pick. Hell, for Johnson it's a first-round price, and as you can see from the above ADP, Bryant can also often creep into opening round territory. That's troubling because of the scarcity at running back.
Let's say you take Bryant at 15th overall, after drafting LeSean McCoy or Trent Richardson in the first round as your top running back. Now, you're waiting until near the end of the third round until you're on the clock again, flailing as 21 picks go by. If you're lucky, the RB2 you land there is Le'Veon Bell, and then peace has been restored in your fantasy kingdom. But there's a much greater chance that you'll have to settle for one of the final featured backs on the board in Darren McFAdden (who could be horrible), or DeMarco Murray below (who could be broken).
That's a significant step down from Matt Forte or Stevan Ridley, who were likely both available where you picked Bryant. In the very early rounds, position scarcity (see: running backs) is king this year.
DeMarco Murray (ADP: 27.0): Ahhh, the sad tale of one DeMarco Murray. You can all recite it by now: injuries, followed by teasing, followed by more injuries and teasing.
Part of me wants to hold Murray up as the classic example of the problem with the injury prone label. Instead, he's mostly been wildly unlucky, with frequent breaks and sprains. Last year, a sprained left foot led to six missed games, and in 2011 it was a fractured right ankle that ended his season early. Even before he was on the field for a single NFL snap, Murray ruptured his hamstring at Oklahoma.
Fracture, rupture, and sprain. All of Murray's serious problems have been the product of sudden and violent events which led to an injury. So basically, he's been football'ed repeatedly. Yet still, we're left with a burning question: how much bad luck can one really have?
Consider: a year ago at this time we were in awe over Adrian Peterson's progress, and the likelihood that he'd be ready for opening day (you know, sort of like the slobbering over RG3 right now). But prior to his knee shredding at the end of the 2011 season, Peterson had logged 1,543 touches over five seasons and 73 games, a stretch in which he missed five games with minor injuries. In only two seasons, Murray has missed nine of a possible 32 games, and he's touched a ball just 386 times.
Despite the knowledge of his fragile nature and/or bad luck, a healthy Murray still has a bulldozer-like quality. Depending on how your draft snakes around and where your early priorities lie, you may have to embrace risk and take a chance on Murray as your No. 2 running back (surely your 2013 attention span didn't forget that scenario above yet, right?). If that happens, know that at least you're spending your risk budget wisely. Murray straight plows dudes, recording five runs of 20 yards or more on just 161 carries last year. That tied him with Ray Rice on nearly 100 fewer carries.
Jason Witten (ADP: 59.7): Of the 648 pass attempts hurled by Tony Romo in 2012, 150 of them were directed at Jason Witten. That's more targets than Dez Bryant, more targets than fellow tight end superman Jimmy Graham, and more targets than all but seven other players who are paid to catch balls.
But oh, it gets better. Remember that target number which represents 23.1 percent of Romo's throws (he attempt 648 passes, third highest in the league), and then also recall that because of Jason Garrett's desire to pass all the time every time, Witten's 1,039 yards topped Graham's 982. Yes, Graham missed essentially two games due to an injury, but even with that factored in, the difference in yardage is still significant considering the value you're getting with Witten.
There's value, and lots of it. With the glut of injuries at tight end (Aaron Hernandez got all murder-y, Rob Gronkowski will likely miss time along with Heath Miller, while Dennis Pitta is out for the year), Graham may climb to become a first-round pick. Meanwhile, at the his current ADP, Witten can be found up to 30 picks later after he averaged only two fantasy points fewer per game last year.
The Middle Men (middle-to-late round options)
Miles Austin (ADP: 75.2): Unlike Murray, this is definitely a case where the injury prone label is easier to tolerate. Instead of breaking and battling brutal luck, Austin has constantly fought hamstring issues over the past two seasons, missing six games in 2011, and being severely limited last year, though to his credit he didn't miss any time. Combine that with Bryant's emergence, and the result has been a steady decline in production since those heady days when we viewed Austin as a top tier wide receiver. In 2011, Austin had 1,320 receiving yards, a number that dipped to just 579 in 2011, before climbing back to 943 last year.
But volume will always keep Austin relevant, even if it's as a WR3 now or low-end WR2. That's the case with every Cowboys pass catcher, but especially so with Austin due to his breakaway speed in space that will lead to sporadic booming weeks. We saw that even in is shortened 2011, when 143 of his overall yardage (24.6 percent) came in one week. Ditto last year, when Austin had a 133-yard game in Week 8, and he only recorded one other 100-yarder.
Tony Romo (ADP: 80.4): If I draft Romo as my starting quarterback in every league I'm in this year, I'll be happier than Dwayne Harris chasing a mountain goat.
You're perspective on Romo may be deeply fractured, as football discourse has been plagued by the virus-like belief that he's a dirty chocker, which is wholly inaccurate. That's a conversation for another time, as right now we care only about his fantasy contributions and value, of which there's plenty.
Your mind may also be tainted by Romo's 19 interceptions last year, which certainly sucked (he tied a career high). But please don't let your blinding rage allow you to forget that nine of those picks came over two particularly bad afternoons (week 4 and 8), and he had seven other games with a nice round zero in his interceptions column. And whatever, Romo's picks will be long erased by his production relative to his ADP. That's the selling point here.
As you can see, Romo is currently a late-sixth round pick in 12-team leagues, though often his ADP can slide much further, and into the eighth round. He's then coming off the board about 57.3 picks (or four rounds, if you prefer) later than Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers, after he averaged only 4.2 fantasy points per game fewer than Brees, and 3.5 fewer than Rodgers. He did that largely with his 4,903 passing yards at a pace of 306.4 per game, his fourth +4,000-yard year over six fully healthy NFL seasons (Romo broke his collarbone in 2010, playing in only six games).
Tony Romo is the reason you wait on quarterbacks.
The Menial Peons (sleepers, flex plays, and matchup plays)
Dwayne Harris/Terrence Williams (ADP: undrafted): Drafting Austin is the rare time when it's wise to handcuff a wide receiver, which is especially true for you deep leaguers who won't see your loved ones between the months of September and Decemver. In another sort of rarity, this is an offense where the third wide receiver has legitimate weekly flex value, again due to passing volume.
Right now, Harris — the aforementioned animal chaser — has the edge on that job in camp, but Williams is still challenging.
The Mop-Up Men (deeeep sleepers and handcuffs)
Lance Dunbar (ADP: undrafted): I think we can all agree that handcuffing DeMarco Murray's backup is what intelligent people do, and right now that title belongs to Dunbar, though philip Tanner could still push him through the reminder of August.

The Last D&D Session - Epic Dragon BattleSo, as you guys know, I haven't posted up any D&D sessions in awhile for you guys to read through - our players have been flaky, and so we haven't been meeting. We got news last week that one of our players was moving - so before they left, we decided to uber-level through five years of play in one week and go ahead and do our last battle of the campaign. This meant fighting the mighty colossal red dragon that wanted to bring forth Tiamat (evil dragon god). This is how it went:Before hand: *everyone* We're going to die. *Kee* I WILL LIVE! I have never died in a D&D game - and I will not die now! *everyone else* You just keep thinking that.We met up in our town and discovered that Melkior (the lil old man who makes magical constructs) had created a colossal rock .. elemental giant thing. I forget what it's called. It's like the rock-eaters from the never ending story. Taller than the dragon and really powerful."you can take him with you and he'll help you fight the red dra
The Neglected Importance of the Online CommunityWhat is the Worldwide Online Community?The Worldwide Online Community is simply a group of people from a wide variety of countries and continents who come together to share their skills, experience, and/or love for a subject. Online communities are a fairly new faction and are not fully understood, their importance is neglected and may not reach their full potential until the next generation incorporates them more and more. It wasn't until the '90s that the Internet or World Wide Web really became a part of the culture, but in less then 20 years its impact has changed society from top to bottom. In order to really delve into the importance of the worldwide online community, one must first define what it is. There are hundreds of different definitions of what an online community is, but this statement is generally accepted throughout these definitions.Worldwide online communities are groups of people who join together on the Internet with a common int

Best way to record yourself drawing digitallyUpdate: Added section about CONVERTING video sessions below.Quick bit of help here, because I'm not sure if everyone knows the best way to handle this if you want to record your progress while drawing in Photoshop, Manga Studio, Painter, whatever.IF YOU ARE USING WINDOWSYou may have tried some of the screen recorders out there like CamStudio, FRAPS, or some free ones out there. You may have noticed, or had become frustrated with, the fact that many of these programs cause a significantly huge hit on your system's performance. When you try drawing in Photoshop, your tablet response comes to a screeching halt. Then you find a program that records without impacting your drawing performance -- only to find that the resulting video recorded at about 1 frame every 3 seconds. Then you tried FRAPS, then found out that 4 minutes of video resulted in a 3.2GB file. All of these are less than ideal.A while back, I searched all over the net for a program that encoded video from my screen

Commissions WidgetSome of you may aware of the newest released feature by deviantART- that very long awaited widget/module/space for commission on your personal page.Here is my thought about it, no, actually a serious concern where I posted there- please read it first: http://comments.deviantart.com/1/347788178/2897698997To add more: in my opinion I am quite disappointed with that new commission module which have quite childlish feeling (devART, IMHO, represents art as entertaiment which is pushing far away from art as a serious profession in our real world /where in effect many people don't take us, full time working artists seriously etc./ besides of Portfolio release where they did a good job. But when money is involved...) and that's pretty much fast-food commission for quick take and out (points, quick modul and price limit).That addition of the price limit (which is very low) which may suggest to many young people about fixed general idea of price with art into mentality (art has

Gallery Makeover ProjectHello everyone Recently my team and I worked tirelessly on a project to help improve the gallery descriptions and thumbnail examples. While that project was indeed tedious with almost 4,000 categories in our system, it was also educational. What I learned from sorting through thousands and thousands of categories was that we have a lot of redundancy and a lot of categories that seem to have been created on a whim that are now simply homes for junk.Over the years, the desire to appease niche communities and people who just wanted a specific area has led to some categories that go up to 4 levels deep, and it's really no wonder it's so confusing for people to figure out where to submit their artwork.The conclusion I've come to is simplicity. While I'm not about to rip apart everything and make 6 stand alone categories, I do believe that there is a lot we can do to simplify the category tree. That includes some of the following:1. Merging categories that ma

I'm building a steam shower and had planned on using Kerdi over Wonderboard for the walls and ceiling.
The same manufacturer of Wonderboard also makes Easyboard, which they claim performs the same, but weighs a lot less. Is there any drawback to using the Easyboard? How about Wonder on the walls and Easy on just the ceiling (to ease installation)? Any preference for either of these or Hardibacker? Thanks in advance... |
Follow-Up Postings:
For the three boards you mentioned, as tile backer boards on their own, I prefer wonderboard over Hardi over Easy. Behind Kerdi I'd take Wonder over Hardie as well. I can't comment as I've never used Kerdi over Easy, but I suppose it would work fine. The only warning with Easy and steam showers is that the high temps of the steam nozzle can deform or melt the foam core of the Easy. Not a factor for you since you'd only use Easy on the ceilings. Mongo |

Schluter recommends using standard drywall. Kerdi is waterproof and NOTHING gets behind it. Why make more work for yourself? |
- Posted by bill_vincent (email@example.com) on Sat, Aug 22, 09 at 21:44
Same argument I've given John and Cx every time it's come up. Condensation. And yes, I've heard their arguments against it, but I'm not convinced. Sorry, Laz. I think it's money well spent. |
Having just finished much the same project, I used Hardibacker. Wonder-board weighs a ton & is hard to cut accurately. The venerable & all knowing masters who grace this forum must be relatively studly young men since even a full sheet of Hardibacker can get a bit heavy for an antique DIYer like myself. It would also help to have prehensile genitalia to hold the board while you install it. With all due respect to the masters, let us talk about Kerdi which is a waterproofing product which you adhere to the wall with a water based material. That doesn't seem to make a lot of sense & guess what? It doesn't. Kerdi is a real PITA to install. The only way that It was finally installed was by skim coating the Hardi which wicks the moisture right out of the thinset. One would think that the Kerdi could be sized with a hydrophilic compound. Like the Easy board, WEDI has a foam core. I plan on running a copper or brass sleeve around the pipes with some clearance to protect the foam. GOOD LUCK! |

Drake came into the dome surprised by the food and table but showed no expression of it. "Looks like we got a feast, glad I had skipped lunch today" Drake said to someone standing next to him.
Josh saw Joe talking with Mike and followed, sitting next to his brother at the table. Joe looked sideways at Josh and smiled, squeezing his hand reassuringly under the table, before turning back to Mike.
"That would be… Amazing." he said. "But you have to see us perform first. Once this is over, you could come to our Manor in Snowpoint? We've scheduled a performance for the weekend after the League ends."
"I agree wholeheartedly." Elliot nodded his head as he looked at all of the food. "This is the only thing I've always liked about these events." He smiled.
"Sure thing." Mike replied to Joe.
Luna sighed as she sat down at the far end of the table. Kayla sat down beside her while Winter rested under the table.
"You okay?" Kayla asked in a concerned tone. Luna sighed and shook her head.
"It's hard," she admitted, "Especially since the break-up. Seeing him again brought back all of the feelings I had for him."
Drake also took a seat down enjoying the sight of the food, his Servine popped out of the pokeball at that moment, loving the smell of it, he loved human food. "Knew you would be coming, just wait for a few moments yeah?" Drake said towards Servine, who looked up in a snobby wait as to say I don't want to wait.
Elliot sat down next to Kayla, with Ashley sitting next to him and smiling at Winter once more. "I'm sorry but um...you have beautiful fur."
Elliot looked at both Kayla and Luna for a moment before ruffling the back of his head. "Um, hello." He said as he tried to make conversation. "Um sorry for interrupting, I just thought it would be nice to say hi since we'll be seeing each other a lot."
Carrie took a seat and looked at all of the food. "Wow, all of this food looks great." She muttered to herself.
"Oh, hello," Luna said simply before staring back into space. Kayla sighed before looking back at Elliot.
"Hi," she replied, "Luna isn't in the best of spirits now. She might be later, so it might be better if you tried talking to her then. Oh, I'm Kayla by the way."
Winter seemed kind of complimented but she seemed somewhat frightened at the same time.
"Um...thank you." was all she could reply with.
"Nice to meet you I'm Elliot." Elliot nodded his head before looking down at Ashley. "Ashley." he chuckled at her antics. He then turned to the podium. "I wonder what they'll do." he muttered as he saw John walk up to the stage.
Ashley frowned at her trainer before turning away.
"Now I think it's time we start this." John said through a MIC, his picture showing on the big screen as he looked around at the crowd. "I'd like to give you all a warm welcome to the Pro League now without further ado, may the trainers that have been picked walk up to the podium."
Elliot got up from his seat simply he looking around at the crowd once more and gulping before walking to the podium. "I gotta get used to this." he thought.
Joe and Josh got to their feet and began towards the stage. They reflected darkly that it made them feel like show dogs, but shook the feeling off.
Mike walked on the stage, not minding the crowd or the fact he had to get up in front of tons of people, he actually enjoyed the attention.
Nate buttoned his suit jacket then followed the other trainers, and took his spot on the stage.
Luna didn't want to go up front, but she did anyways. She had to shake her mixed emotions off and strut her way to the front. The same way she did when she made her entrance not so long ago. Winter, of course, began following Luna.
Drake got up and followed the others on the podium, Servine had just realized his trainer got up as he was about to chow down. "Ser!" Servine said annoyed before chasing his trainer and went to stand by him.

When you start learning JDBC in Java, first program you want to execute
is connect to database from Java and get some result back by executing some SELECT
queries. In this Java program we will learn How to connect to MySQL database from Java program and execute
query against it. I choose MySQL database because its free and and easy to
install and setup. If you are using Netbeans IDE than you can connect MySQL
Server directly from Netbeans, Which means in one window you could be writing
Java code and other you can write SQL queries. Another advantage of using MySQL
database is that it provides type
4 JDBC driver bundled in : mysql-connector-java-5.1.17-bin.jar which is
easy to use. By the way if you are using Oracle database than you can check Java
program to connect Oracle database, to connect and run SQL queries against
Oracle db. This Java tutorial also explains some of the common error which
comes while working in JDBC code e.g. during connection or reading results. In
order to connect to MySQL database you need three things database URL, username
and password and we are using default user root here, which is created during
MySQL installation. By the way we have also used PreparedStatement
for connection because it's one of the JDBC
best practice to use PreparedStatement for better performance and avoiding
SQL Injection.
Java program to connect MySQL database to execute query
Here is complete Java program to connect MySQL database running into
localhost and executing queries against that. This example connects to test
database of MySQL server, running on local host at port 3306. At ground level
we need a JDBC connection object to communicate with MySQL database, a
Statement object to execute query and a ResultSet object to get result from
database. By the way you can also use Rowset object and difference
between RowSet and ResultSet is one of the frequently asked JDBC
Interview question. One of the thing which I don't like about JDBC is lots
of boiler plate code e.g. closing connection, statement and result set and other
resources in finally
block. Once you move ahead and start using framework like Spring,
you can use JdbcTemplate to avoid these boilerplate coding. It's also good to
setup your table and data before writing Java program. We will be using
following table for query:
mysql> select * from stock; +---------+-------------------------+--------------------+ | RIC | COMPANY | LISTED_ON_EXCHANGE | +---------+-------------------------+--------------------+ | 6758.T | Sony | T | | GOOG.O | Google Inc | O | | GS.N | Goldman Sachs Group Inc | N | | INDIGO | INDIGO Airlines | NULL | | INFY.BO | InfoSys | BO | | VOD.L | Vodafone Group PLC | L | +---------+-------------------------+--------------------+ 6 rows in set (0.00 sec)
And this is our Java program to connect MySQL database and you need to
add mysql-connector-java-5.1.17-bin.jar into classpath,
which contains JDBC type 4 driver required to connect MySQL database. If you
don't include this JAR in your classpath, you will get following error java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
package test; import java.sql.Connection; import java.sql.DriverManager; import java.sql.ResultSet; import java.sql.SQLException; import java.sql.Statement; import java.util.logging.Level; import java.util.logging.Logger; /** * * Java program to connect to MySQL Server database running on localhost, * using JDBC type 4 driver. * * @author http://java67.blogspot.com */ public class MySQLTest{ public static void main(String args[]) { String dbURL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test"; String username ="root"; String password = "root"; Connection dbCon = null; Statement stmt = null; ResultSet rs = null; String query ="select count(*) from stock"; try { //getting database connection to MySQL server dbCon = DriverManager.getConnection(dbURL, username, password); //getting PreparedStatment to execute query stmt = dbCon.prepareStatement(query); //Resultset returned by query rs = stmt.executeQuery(query); while(rs.next()){ int count = rs.getInt(1); System.out.println("count of stock : " + count); } } catch (SQLException ex) { Logger.getLogger(CollectionTest.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex); } finally{ //close connection ,stmt and resultset here } } } Output: count of stock : 6
ResultSet is used to retrieve query result If you don't call rs.next() and
directly call rs.getInt(columnName) and getIndex(),
you will get following error, so always call rs.next() before calling any
getXXX() method.
java.sql.SQLException: Before start of result set
That's all on How to connect to MySQL database from Java program.
We have seen step by step details to connect MySQL 5.5. database and executed
SELECT query against it. We have also touched base on some of the common SQLException which
comes in JDBC code during connection or reading result via ResultSet.

Nintendo has denied internet reports that the Metroid Prime Trilogy in its entirety is coming to Wii.
According to GoNintendo, a tipster claimed that the computer system of a retailer had a new Wii game listed as 'Metroid Prime Trilogy'.
Internet speculation jumped to the obvious conclusion that Metroid Prime 1, 2 and 3 were being repackaged as one and the GameCube games were being revamped for the console.
But speaking to CVG, Nintendo labelled the rumour as "Purely rumour and speculation."
The rumours come off the back of three principal Metroid Prime developers leaving company Retro, after being apparently escorted off the premises.

Toddlers need plenty of opportunity for active, imaginative play.
Your toddler won't play with other children until after the age of about two and a half (or even three) - although they may enjoy playing alongside other children ('parallel play').
Organised games are not very interesting to a young child. Instead, unstructured, self-directed play is the primary way your toddler learns, and you can take something of a back seat while it happens. Just be close by to socialise, and to react when needed.
You can gently extend the play by (for example) offering more bricks to build a tower, giving them something new to arouse their interest or by making comments from time to time to encourage your child's use of language.
Use your TV, computer, story books and toys as helpful starting points to give you ideas - you can watch for the ways your toddler may pretend to be a character, or act out something they have seen in a story or TV show.
How CBeebies can help
Browse the CBeebies website for some simple, short, toddler-friendly stories. Click through to the Story Time section or have a look at some programme clips in the Watch & Listen section. Watching them will stimulate their imagination and encourage pretend play.
Stories read on CBeebies can encourage pretend play. Telly Tales, for example, features children acting out some well-known and lesser-known fairy tales, legends and myths from around the world. You could have a go at acting out one of the clips together.
Alternatively, you could just go to the web pages of your child's favourite programme (e.g. Charlie and Lola) and watch some stories or clips. Afterwards follow it up with some role play, with each of you being one of the characters from the show.
How to make a magic moment
When toddlers enjoy unstructured play, you can play your part by observing and following your child's lead.
So, when your toddler pretends to drink from a cup (or whatever she is pretending is a cup) and then hands you one, pretend to drink out of it and say 'thank you' and 'how delicious' and 'ooh, it's a bit hot!'
Your toddler may pretend to talk on the phone, holding it to her ear and jabbering away ... you can ask her 'is daddy/grandma on the phone? Say hello for me!'
When your toddler puts teddy to bed on the sofa, say 'Shh! Let's be quiet 'cos teddy's asleep' - she may then make teddy jump up, and you can say 'ooh, teddy's awake again now!'

Nutro Natural Choice Indoor Senior Chicken & Whole Brown Rice Formula Dry Cat Food
Finally a dry food he eats.
My cat has a love-hate relationship with dry food. He loves it, but half the time pukes it right back up. Tried many brands and years ago decided to give up on dry food. After having so much luck with Natural Choice's Chunky Loaf (wet food), I decided to experiment. He loves their dry food even though he predominantly eats Chunky Loaf wet food, and I can leave the dry food out for him around the clock and he never pukes it up.

Cat loves it and isn't gaining weight
I recently moved to the US from Europe and was unable to find the same food I had been feeding my 9 year-old chubby indoor cat. I tried a few other brands before finding Nutro Natural Choice. He loves it and, although he eats alot, he isn't gaining weight at all and is energetic with a beautiful coat and shining eyes. There was no adjustment period either, he happily ate it from the first time I gave it to him. It'll be his regular food from now on!

this is a highly nutritious food for senior cats- but my particular cat doesnt seem to like the taste.
I love this product for my 11 year old cat. I love the ingredients in it and the ingredients not in it. Also, she has a VERY sensitive stomach but has tolerated this just fine. However, she is an extremely fussy eater and does not seem to like the taste of this too much- she doesnt eat much of it. She is also ( not surprisingly ) chronically underweight and has been a poor eater and underweight all her life. Thank God, she is healthy anyway. But im trying to mix treats, etc into this food , as it is so nutritious, that I want her to like and eat it.
So far, she has managed to pick the treats out and leave the food. Im going to keep trying.

Cats with Different Tastes!
This is one of my cats' favorite food. I just have to have it in stock all the time other wise I am in for real trouble.
This was one of the first items I ever bought from Chewy, and there service is really great. To date I have placed three orders with them, with similar experience as with my first order.

My husband and I are currently living in a camper with the plans to build something very small on our farm. We have a budget of $10,000 to get started then the rest will be cash as we go. We are thinking 32' x 40' - 1 story w/9 ft ceilings. I've searched for good house plans but can't find anything this small so I'm working up my own. I would like to make the bath area spa like & nice. We need 1 larger bedroom w/one small enough for an occasional guest. The master bedroom would have a Queen size bed. I love to cook so would like good counter space & storage. Would like a small dining area (thought maybe a built in with storage under the seat). If anyone out there has any other suggestions or experience I would be most grateful. I've given the grown children all of the furniture except one glass cherry wood china cabinet so I would be starting fresh with the furniture. |

How exciting! Have you looked at the plans on the Southern Living site? They have some small ones. Perhaps one could be adjusted? |
Here is a link that might be useful: plans
I agree. How exciting! I've got some plan books that belonged to my fil. I'll look through the small plans and see if anything might work too. |

thank you very much for your replies. My husband comes from the type of family where bigger HAS to be better and over the years I have shown him PAID FOR is better. We have had the big house and a really tiny one at the beach. We never had company at the big one only the little one at the beach. Just goes to show-location, location, location. We sold the big one and have kept the tiny one now in looking ahead to our retirement we want a little one in AL for our hunting and fishing lifestyle. And I guess I should mention, I garden. My husband went through an illness that took most of the equity we had from the sale of the big one so with lots of praying we are plowing on with our dreams in this tough economy. |

I normally don't participate on house plan or layout threads, but there's something about your posts that spoke to me...your interests, I guess. My house is about 1000 sf. 1 floor. It's just me and 5yr old daughter living here. My thoughts might be kind of random and based on personal preference and realizations, but here goes: 1. Have plenty of windows. It makes all the difference in my opinion to not feeling cramped...and that overall sense of well-being. I lived in a 2800 sf-2 story house when I was married. It had 14 windows and plenty of room to run. It was a dark cave despite the square footage. My current 1000sf house has 14 windows and it's wonderful. I feel like I have room to breathe in half the space. The problem with having lots of windows is that if you like furniture and decor, and messing around with that...windows everywhere can limit furniture placement and options if you're not careful about it. Something to keep in mind. 2. If it's typical to have a basement in your area...get one. If not, put in accessible attic space. I don't have or need a lot of "stuff", but if I didn't have a basement to store things (tools, holiday items, paint cans, cat litter box, hobby things, etc), I would be an unhappy camper! Take a realistic inventory of the "stored stuff" and make sure you incorporate appropriate storage for what you have with room to grow. THEN make sure you put in appropriate storage (closets, etc) for your daily functions. It's no fun to fill your living space storage with holiday stuff and figure out later you can't use the coat closet because the xmas tree is in there. 3. I am a gardener too! In my little house, I am sooo thankful my house is not a straight-lined rectangle. The original enclosed porch on the side has been finished into a room, so there's a decent sized bump-out to the east. I have a 12x20 screened porch on the south. An irregular footprint will give you little outdoor nooks to create special little gardening spaces verus expansive straight lines and 4 corners. My former big house had a straight rectangle footprint and it was hard to be creative or make anything special around the house. LOVE my little house with odd nooks when it comes to gardening. 4. I don't know about your climate, but we've got cold & snow in my parts. When it comes to entertaining in a small house, outdoor spaces are your best friend! Screened porch, deck, well-placed driveway with attractive surroundings, you get the idea...think about those things and incorporate them into the plan. In 1000 sf, I can have about 4 people over in the house and it's fine. More than that in the house is crowded. I mostly have family & friends over during nicer seasons and the extra spaces to sit and congregate are fabulous. I need to go to work. I have more. Will post back later when I have time. |

oh, you are soooo terrific to help me figure this stuff out. I love the plan posted! Such good ideas! I guess I should share as much info as possible..... We have explored many options and right now are leaning toward a pole barn construction (due to cost of construction) for the outer walls - 40 across x 36 deep w/ 10ft ceilings with the inside being a "box". The door will be from the left & right not front or back. On the left side will be 20 ft x 36 deep open pole barn. Right side will be my parking and a small kitchen veg garden. I might be dreaming but I want: master: queen size bed, no window, nice walk in closet, bathroom: a large tiled shower w/seat & multiple spray heads, regular sized tub tiled same as shower-no shower w/tub (might can find a claw foot tub and build a step up w/drawers under), his/hers sinks with a row of drawers in between and a tall pantry type cabinet in that room somewhere, kitchen: tall panty for stock pile & canned foods in the kitchen, open bar with lower cabinets able to have least 2 black metal bar seats, ref flush w/cabinets, regular type electric stove with bottom oven, deep sink, Extra bedroom: no ideas except can be smallish w/1 queen bed. Den area: flat screen tv w/ at least 1 oversized recliner (huband�s want), no fireplace. Glass & cherry wood display cabinet to fit somewhere (maybe a smallish entryway) & also still have a cherry wood bench. |
Great plan! I love the dressing area and the kitchen. It looks like lots of workspace PLUS a pantry. |

Gayle- SUCH WISDOM in your post. I'm glad you broke with your tradition and opted to share. Your ideas are wonderful, and I can relate to so many of them. |

Summerfield, what I would give to be 40 years younger and let you throw such lovely plans my way! I can look at your houses and feel the flow right away. Also the selection of materials is apparent with the textures shown in your software program. You sure know how to use it. |
You might try www.countryplans.com Lots of ways to build economical small homes. Some are used as cabins and some are used as homes. Neat ideas there. |
ML, with all the building you have going on, and all the ideas you have, 40 years either way wouldn't matter for you. You're young at heart. |

Marti, I really appreciate your comment. It comes at the right time, when I'm "girding my loins" to get up the energy to tackle refurbishing the garden for the big growing season. We are cutting it close this year, because the stucco work on the garage is holding us up. Do you suppose that every old person feels as I do, that the head and the spirit are still young, yet the flesh betrays me? I read a book years ago, YOUR INNER CHILD OF THE PAST, which contends that at no time do we stop being the person we were the day before, so the child within is still there. The more I see the young adults I knew as children, I see that they ARE the same as they were then, so I know that the same is true of myself. As a child, I lulled myself to sleep drawing houses in my mind, and walking through the rooms. It is something I do to this day. |

At what point is one old? I'm almost 58, and planning to build my own house. Not hire somebody to do it, but actually do it myself! Well, some stuff will be hired, since I don't have the equipment or expertise..... I suppose I should let Summerfield tweak my plan,too, but believe or not, I think I've reached the end on (major) re-design. After reams of graph paper, and a thousand and one electronic drawings, I'm suddenly OK with my design, I've either tired of the process, or God is telling me 'This is the one'. I do hope my body is up to it, otherwise I will kill myself trying. You can grow older, but never grow old. |
ML, I'm probably not the one to ask, as I am sitting here now with an ice pack on my shoulder & neck. lol Jay I think your plan is good, and power to you to build it yourself. When dh & I built our little house (prior to this one), his dad helped us, and he was in his late 50's or early 60's at the time. |

Summerfield Designs: I love your plan! You are really good at this: Can you help me visilize the following: I might be writing this backwards as I am new to all of this. My husband is going to build 60' long x 36' deep pole barn. He plans to utilize 40' x 36' deep. The right end will be our door and the left end will be the open pole barn section 20' x 36'. The right end will over look a pond so would like some nice windows. |
Nathanomaxine. We just helped our daughter with putting living quarters in her covered roping arena. The arena is huge with a side shed running down one entire side, and they basically built a box inside the arena for temorary living quarters. Sounds somewhat like what you are planning. The area right next to the house is used for covered parking/patio. It has worked out well for them as well as friends who've done the same thing in their barn. Summerfield: Love your plan. It uses the space very efficiently with little wasted space. Love that you were able to incorporate the spa bath, pantry, & office space all into the design. Gayle: I agree about the windows. We live on a wooded lot & the house is just dark no matter what. If I had it to do over, would have incorporated a few more windows downstairs - or maybe I just need to cut some trees!! I do love irregular shaped homes - so much more interesting. Unfortunately, I understand they are also more expensive to build. We've got one bump out in our house that I love & have been able to add other garden spaces by the shape & positioning of our deck. I love working outside in the yard! ML: I'm also more young at heart than young in years. My head is full of projects I want to be working on, but my body's not holding up as well as it used to!!! DH & I are both mid 50's, but still working on lots of projects & have no plans to stop - just may take us a little longer than it used to!!!! |

Hi, I hope that you are still looking at the replys for your post. First, I want to tell you that I am doing basically the same thing, building a home for under $10,000. I am not including the cost of the lot, but it was only $3800 for a 75 X 110 foot lot. There is an existing septic tank system, or it would not be possible to build at the $10,000 target price. First, we hired an engineer by placing an ad on craigslist. We received bids ranging from $5000 to $750. After talking with the low bidder, we retained him to prepare a plan that will be accepted by the building authority. What good is a plan that will not be issued a building permit? The minimum size allowable turns out to be around 350 square foot. That works out to about $28.50 per square foot, or about 1/4th the cost of building a standard wood frame house with electrical, plumbing, and roof. You originally stated that you wanted to build a house 32 X 40 foot with 9 foot ceilings. That is about 1280 sq ft. With a budget of $10,000, you would be spending a little less than 8 dollars per square foot. I think that houses could be built for that price around a hundred years ago, but not today. However, having been through this myself, I would like to share what we are doing. We decided that as an older couple, we could get by with a house of around 640 square foot. A mobile home this size would cost around $40,000 dollars new and up. Finding a newer used one isn't easy, but they are out there. The problem is moving them. Also another problem is that here in Florida, we are only able to use newer models designed for high winds and less than 10 years old in the county our lot is located in. We were unable to find one that could be moved and set up to meet our $10,000 dollar goal. So, we have decided to use two 40 foot shipping containers. I can get two delivered to my lot for under $5000. We will cut out the adjoining walls to make a 16 X 40 steel shell. We are only enclosing a bedroom and bathroom. The rest will be open. The engineer will draw the required electrical, plumbing, and all other details that will be needed to meet the code standards. We are using what are called High Cube shipping containers that are 9 foot 6 inches tall as opposed to the regular 8 foot 6 inch standard shipping container size. I expect that we will hang a suspended ceiling and are considering pouring a concrete floor inside the containers after they are joined. That is the plan so far except that we are including a stairway to the roof where I will be covering with a liner and then putting in some good growing soil for roof top gardening. I plan to eventually add some nice siding on the containers, but hot until we are already living in it. The inner walls will be sheet rocked over some insulation. Can we do this for $10,000? I'm not sure yet, but I will have the basic home with bedroom and bathroom (ie occupancy permit) for right at that price. I have already found some good used double paned windows and am looking for other used things like a sliding glass and regular solid wood door for the 2nd entrance. If you think that this may be an option for you, let me know. Maybe an engineer in your area can do the same thing for you. I know that this is not for most people, but it is at leat somewhat realistic. Containers are designed for heavy roof loads, so they should be fine in snow ares. Good luck, chuck |

I think it can be a great place - like making a barn or carriage house into an apt! you might have to do some of the finer details later down the road tho. did I read you want no windows in the bdrm? why? please have a window for fresh air and sunshine! you might be able to get most of what you'll need inside from a restore or on CL. check them out. ML - as a kid I used to fall asleep a lot of nights designing house layouts, mentally furnishing them. About all I had to go on furniture wise was from the Sears catalog - or what I saw on tv. |

No windows in the bedroom out of desperation! My husband has sleep issues where light (even the tiniest amount) wakes him or will keep him awake. We have settled on doing a pole barn. We like the roof line look that has trusses (peak). The $10,000 would be for the building, concrete, plumbing. The rest would would complete paycheck to paycheck (walls & such). We plan to leave our camper intact for the kitchen until we get that complete. We are going to start with the master bedroom & master bath walls. We have been given bathroom sink, and all the lights we could use (someone went out of business and did not want to put in a warehouse). We are now trying to decided if we are going to build 2 smaller and join (turning each opposite leaving a space for a front porch this way or 1 large. |
- Posted by flgargoyle (My Page) on Thu, Mar 17, 11 at 16:46
If you are building to code, you have to have a window or other secondary means of egress in the bedroom- in fact, it has to be above a certain size so a person could crawl out of it. Even if there are no inspections to deal with, I would be paranoid about sleeping in a room with only one way out. |
- Posted by columbiasc (My Page) on Thu, Mar 17, 11 at 21:22
I feel your pain. Even though I'm nowhere close to being ready to acquire land and build, I still look through small house plans in hopes of finding something more defined and tangible to shoot for. But I have been through design site after design site, log cabin sites, manufactured sites, you name it and I have yet to come across something that jumps off the page. Too many walls, insufficient porch space, bad bathroom layouts, no exterior appeal, etc. I just can't nail down what I'm looking for. If the circumstances ever do come together and I am ready to build, I will have to seek out a good architect/designer who will listen and create around my vision, not theirs. Hard to find. Good for you for not falling into the Too Tiny Trap while striving to build mortgage free. Your proportions sound reasonable and liveable. If you want to live in something portable, buy an Airstream or a sailboat. Claiming to be able to "live" in 80sf is a joke. Scott |

If you are already starting with a pole barn frame, take a look at the post on Post and Beam homes I pulled forward from a while back. Scott |
- Posted by desertsteph (My Page) on Sat, Mar 19, 11 at 1:56
you can buy special (not expensive) darkening blinds for windows. you could cover the window with black paper, darkening blinds and heavy curtains. that should keep it out while allowing an escape if needed and - the ability to open it during non sleeping times. |
- Posted by moccasinlanding (My Page) on Sat, Mar 19, 11 at 19:44
They also have something called BLACKOUT FABRIC which Hancock and Joann Fabrics sells. A set of drapes lined with that, and some Roman shades with a good light filtering lining also, should help a lot. Go floor to ceiling with the drapes, and maybe wall to wall if need be. |
Hi, sorry to come late to this thread but I thought I'd share some resources you might find useful: http://countryplans.com/smf/index.php is a good resource to share ideas with fellow small house owner-builders http://www.backwoodshome.com/author_index.html for inspirational stories by Dorothy Ainsworth and Jackie Clay who build their homes in stages with very low budgets One comment on your 32x40 is that one story is often more expensive than building a 2nd floor. If you're open to that, one thought is a kit like this: http://www.firstdaycottage.com/Main.html is a build-it-yourself home originally designed for teachers to build over summer break. Good luck! |
If you really want a no-window bedroom, but have a code problem, can you call it a media room? Those seldom have windows - at least around here. |

Shortly after Bill Belichick and Tom Brady denied any knowledge of the New England Patriots' underinflated footballs from the AFC Championship Game, we asked SportsNation: Do you believe the coach and the quarterback?

However, this poll was placed primarily on ESPNBoston.com, meaning only a few cynics from Nebraska could overcome the wave of support from the Patriots' national following.
