Good Question: How Often Should We Wash Our Cars In The Winter?
It's that time of year when we might not even be able to see the real color of our car. When that familiar shade of dirty whitish-grey appears, it seems the cars themselves are screaming for a soapy brush. Nick Burlow, owner of Isles Auto Repair, says it's probably not a bad idea to wash your vehicle at least once a week.
Good Question: How Bad Is Road Salt For Your Car?
It is the winter hitch-hiker, none of us wants on our cars: Road salt. But how much damage does salt really do? And how often should we get our car washed?

.- In his address to the Spanish Bishops Conference meeting this week in Madrid, Conference president Cardinal Antonio Maria Rouco said the principal issue that the bishops need to face is the "internal secularization which is afflicting life of the Church herself."
Addressing the Apostolic Nuncio and the Spanish bishops, Cardinal Rouco recalled the last visit of Pope John Paul to Spain, the aftermath of the election of a new government, the issue of government policy on education, the possible recognition of homosexual unions and the law on abortion.
Referring to the terrorist attacks of 3-11, the Cardinal said that "appealing to religious motives as justification for terrorism is especially scandalous and perverse," but at the same time he warned against falling into generalized accusations against Islamic people.
Regarding homosexual unions, Cardinal Rouco said they can never be given the same social status as marriage and the family. "It's not about denying legitimate rights to anybody, but rather about a complete and coherent defense of the rights of the family."
Cardinal Rouco said the Church today is the principal defender of the right to life of all human beings, in particular of those most vulnerable.
According to the Cardinal, the 80,000 abortions that have taken place in Spain over the last year should be cause for "true alarm in society because of what they mean in and of themselves and because they indicate a lack of moral sensibility." "This is not something peculiar to Catholics but rather a question of basic humanity and of great transcendence for the future as well," he added.
Cardinal Rouco also mentioned the question of Church-State separation, saying the right to religious freedom means that on the one hand, "no human power" should be allowed to prevent the free exercise of religious beliefs, and on the other, that "conditions in which persons and religious communities can live out their lives in accord with their beliefs, both in private and in public, must be positively and equitably favored."

I really like this product! I originally bought it because I bought some Barry M looks eye shadow in a really dark blue, and it just fell all down my face every time I went to use it. If I put this on beforehand, my eyeshadow doesn't make a mess of my newly made-up face, and it tends to stay on for much longer. Eventually, yes, I begin to get slight creases on my eyelids and my eyeshadow fades, but I have very oily eyelids and surrounding eye area, so I don't really expect any product to 100% combat that (although if anyone knows of one then please tell me!). The original colour is quite a good match for my skin colour anyway so it's handy as a concealer for red patches/dark circles. The only thing I don't like about it is the fact that the pump squirts out far too much product, no matter how lightly I press it. It's quite expensive, so I don't really like wasting the majority of what comes out, but it's just too much to use in any form unfortunately. Other than that, it's one of my favourite products and I use it most days - I always notice a difference if I forget to!
I got this as a free sample from my loose button subscription. I'm actually still using it at the moment. My verdict...The product seems a bit watery for my liking. there are times when it stings my eyelids and times when it doesn't. My eyeshadow and eyeliner application goes on a bit smoother as promised but the guarantee of having no eyeshadow creases wasn't there. After a few hours, my eyelids were obviously oily and the eyeshadow creases were evident. Good thing I got this as a free sample just because I'd be disappointed spending around $30 on this product. Benefit's products are usually a hit or miss for me, and this was definitely a miss. I can only compare it to smashbox's photo lid primer and I'd rather go for smashbox's than this.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I originally tried this when it was only available in one color. That color was too light for me, so I never had the chance to see how effective it was as a primer. When Benefit released this in a darker color, I ran out to get it. The color is perfect, I really loved the idea of a color correcting primer. However, this product is total crap.
When I first used it, I smeared it on like I would UDPP. Then I put my shadow over it. It did not work well at all. I figured it was my fault. I read the instructions carefully and followed them to the letter. I applied the 3 dots and blended. I mades sure to let it set before applying the shadow. The results were that the creasing didn't start quite as early. Still, I had minor creasing after 5 hours and significant creasing after about 7 hours. Overall, this was crap. It's really expensive too. At $26, the needs to do what is is designed to do.
Ok first off I have tried A LOT of primers from high end to low end and this by far is one of the worst.
This is why I rated it so low:
1. It is very watery and dries very fast but leaves nothing for your shadow to really "stick" to
2. It does NOT help with creasing if you have oily lids like I do. It just SLIDES right off.
3. For the price, it just isn't worth it. My makeup was completely creased and awful looking in about 2 hours and I didn't go anywhere. I just hung out in my house, didn't sweat, didn't have any weather interference and it still slid off just watching TV ..BOOOO
4. There are just so many better products out there that this just isn't worth my time. UD primer potion, MAC paint pots, NYX shadow bases, NARS Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Primer (my HG), Too Faced Shadow Insurance...all of these surpass this in quality and reliability. Heck I even like the hard candy primer better and you can get that at Walmart for a couple bucks.
This is a HARD pass. I am glad I only got a deluxe sample of this because I would never buy the full size in its current formulation.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I was hesitant to try this because of the low reviews, but when I finally did, I loved it! It doesn't crease, makes shadows last, covers up really really well, and because you only need a tiny bit, will last forever. I also used it on the redness on my face (I figured since it's gentle enough to use on the eyes, it should be ok on the face) and it's the only thing I've tried that keeps the redness away, all day.
If anyone has had any experience using this on the face, I'd love to hear about it because NOTHING covers my rosacea except this.
I love this primer. Already on my second bottle of it. It is a bit pricey, so I only buy it when I collect points on my optimum card. Despite me having crazy oily skin, this actually works. Just use a small amount thoguh because too much actually makes your shadows crease. I also use this under my eyes to help my concealor stay and not crease and that is why I love this product. I'd give it better ratings if the price was more university student friendly.
It took me awhile to get this right. At first I hated this! Thought it was total crap, but since I bought it I was determined to make it work (don't like to waste money).
-it takes a very very tiny amount to look good.
-it covers up tiny views, etc on your eyelid (kinda like the MAC paint pot in painterly)
-it's a primer and correcting color in one. It's NOT a clear primer and its not supposed to be.
-great canvas to not only primer your lids but to make your eyeshadow really pop!
The only negative thing is the pump pumps out wayyyy to much product. So just press a tiny dot out for each eye, which is kinda hard to do at first, but then you'll get the hang of it. Oh yeah, it can separate weirdly into an oily mixture if you let it sit unsed for awhile. When it does that I just blend what came out onto my finger and its perfectly fine. Or just shake the bottle well before using.
I've had mine for a long time and its lasted forever.i took of one lippy be because it pumps out way to much product. It would be better in a pot I think.
More reviews by anaheartsmakeup
this product says its a primer for concealers and eyeshadow. I think this works better as a primer for concealer for blemishes or under the eye because it makes your concealer last so much longer i don't recommend it to be used as a eyeshadow concealer because it makes your eyeshadow crease quite quickly
I recieved a sample of this primer. I've been meaning to try it for a long time but I am so dissapointed.
Although it is a nice light colour and blends nicely into the skin it just doesn't so the job very well. I find that my eyeshadows staying power is no better using this product that using nothing.
I won't be purchasing it again. Next I plan on using Urban Decay primer potion as I've heard a lot of good things! And if that doesn't work then i'll be going back to my old favorite, Smashbox photo finish lid primer as that is amazing!

Getting Wu-Tang Clan together is no small feat, and Drake is still in the middle of planning the Clan reunion for his "Wu-Tang Forever" remix. U-God confirmed with MTV News that he, Masta Killa and Cappadonna all recorded their verses , but Raekwon the Chef is still working on his bars.
"I ain't get a chance to bust my joint off yet, but I talked to Drake and we're gonna get to it. It just was like, we were on the road, things were happening so quick," Rae explained to MTV News on Saturday on the set of Troy Ave's "New York City" music video. "Some brothers were able to go in there and smash out, and unfortunately, I wasn't able to get there yet, but it's gonna happen though."
When Rae and company dropped their debut album Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) 20 years ago, they were celebrated for their raw and unorthodox rap style. The nine-member crew wasn't as polished as Drake is today and that was part of the appeal. When fans got their first taste of the R&B-heavy and melodic "Wu-Tang Forever," some scoffed at the tribute. Clan member Inspectah Deck wasn't a fan and revealed that he did not make it onto the remix.
"I'm saying that I disagree with the title of that song being 'Wu-Tang Forever' when it has no bearing on Wu-Tang Clan despite the fact that the 'It's Yourz' sample floatin' in the background," he told HipHopDX.com.
Raekwon didn't address Deck's stance, but rather spoke on his own appreciation of the track. "At the end of the day, regardless of what we were mentioned in a great way. He named the title of his song after brothers, so however you did it, at the end of the day, it's still love, it's still respect there. I still thought the record was a great record, regardless of what," he said. "It ain't nothin' rude about the record, nothin' disrespectful, it's all love. Hey, I'm for it."
The way the Chef sees it, Drake is simply paying respect to those who came before him. "Just to see that happenin' 20 years later in my run, on my walk, it's a beautiful thing. I'm not here to judge — I'm here to give homage," he said. "For me, that's a great thing because that's how I felt about the generation that did it before me; the G Raps, the Slick Ricks. I see them, I'm still in the zone, I'm still stuck. If I didn't watch that I wouldn't be who I am today and it's just out of respect."

Hi All, can't wait till spring! But until then I am having to make do with the in home garden, which brings me to my question. I have a lot (a real lot) of indoor plants, such as spaths, palm, spiders, aloe, etc. Most of these plants require daily misting, especially the spaths and the palm. I do this with my hand mister, and it is a streneous and laborious task everyday. Any ideas on how to make this task easier? Are there any automatic misters? Thanks! |

Hi Daffodil, I used to mist my plants but I'm on the fence about whether it is the best way to keep them happy. In a few houseplant books and on the houseplant forum, it has been mentioned that misting isn't the best thing to do. They recommend a humidifier or bowls of water with a fan blowing over them. Or a pebble tray under the plants. Try posting on the Houseplant forum and you should get a lively discussion on the subject, or do a search on that forum. There must be a lot of threads on the topic of misting plants. |

This foundation has a truly incredible range of shades for fair skin. I have trouble finding colours that are pale enough for me while not making me look sallow, but Mont Blanc is the closest I've found to a perfect match. The finish looks and feels nice, though it's maybe more matte than you'd expect from something called 'Sheer Glow'.
The biggest downside is definitely the packaging. For a pricetag like that, I really would expect a pump bottle. They do sell one separately, if you're lucky enough to find it, but there's no excuse for not including it with the foundation itself. As it is, it's quite unhygienic unless you use a Q-tip or pour it carefully into your hand, at which point you risk dumping out too much product (and it's far too expensive to waste). It also seemed to settle into the fine lines bracketing my mouth, which I didn't appreciate.
Overall, the coverage and finish were great, and the colour was perfect, but for this amount of money I'd rather look for a bottle with a pump applicator.

I love this foundation. It is the perfect coverage, gives such a gorgeous glowy (not shiny) finish and stays on all day. Definitely a must have for me. However, I used this on an everyday basis which I personally think is fine if you sheer it out, but it really does a toll on the skin. I never broke out from it, but I noticed that the more I used this product, the duller my skin looked on its own, making me a little dependent on this product to look good. It's a great foundation, just not good for your own skin.

So this is my first expensive foundation. I got three different samples that all lasted 5-7 days (Bobbi Brown/NARS Sheer Glow/Makeup Forever). I settled on the NARS Sheer Glow and I absolutely love it.
It lasts way longer throughout the day then any drug store foundation I've bought (and thank god for that since it costs an arm and a leg). I will only touch up at night if I'm going out to a party or something. I never thought this was an issue for me but now I'm very happy to find that I still have coverage on my way home from work.
It doesn't have SPF which is fine with me - I'd rather use a separate one anyways (more safe).
I enjoy the texture of it, I find it goes on really well - and makes my skin look natural and clear. And it doesn't feel heavy on my skin even when I build on more layers of it. I really like that I can wear a thin coat or apply more to cover up stubborn red marks without a problem.
I really hate the bottle, I use a clean q-tip to get it out so it limits the bacteria that can get in there, as well as doesn't spill everywhere when I tip it. I could order a pump for it but that's terribly annoying especially since I paid 55$ for the foundation already (Canadian).
The colour matches my skin very well. Since my skin is a bit more tanned then when I bought it, I add some bronzing gel to the foundation before applying it to my face in order to adjust the colour. Works perfectly without changing the tone too much.
I like the soft glow it gives, it makes your skin look really healthy and moisturized. My chin becomes a bit shiny with it but I just add powder to fix that.
Honestly this product is a life savor. It makes such a great difference to my face. I don't think I'll ever look back..(sadly) the price is worth it. I have much more confidence when I'm wearing this product.
This is the latest foundation that I bought and I would repurchase it because it does feel quite nice on the skin. But to me, the name of the product doesn't really describe the product well. For one thing, the foundation is not sheer but tends more on the medium coverage and secondly, it is not very glowey. It is more "velvety" to me.
It kind of reminds me of the revlon color stay - which is a classic and a great beauty on a budget buy. What I also like with this product is that there isnt that silicony feel which i hate. And also it has no sent to it, which i also love.
The one thing that sucks is the packaging. The cap broke and I had to put scotch tape all over it for the product not to spill in my bag.
To recap, this is a good buy for i believe any kind of skin type, but it sucks if you want to bring it around with you because of the glass bottle and the cheap cap that can easily break. Also, it was't very hydrating for my combination skin type.
I like this foundation. I bought it in Mont Blanc and it's a very close match to my skin tone. The coverage is light yet buildable but I find it kind of rests on top of my skin even when I apply with a foundation brush, a sponge and my fingers. But it does the job and my skin reacts well with it (no breakouts or dryness).
So my beef with the packaging (the bottle is nice, though) is that they sell a pump for the bottle, separately, and it's $8 AND it's impossible to find. I've tried 3 different Sephroras and 2 Bays and they have been out of stock. Even the website said they were out of stock. There a global NARS pump shortage people! Anyway, I waste a TON of product without the pump and it's not cheap!
I might repurchase. I haven't decided yet. I know there's so many other foundations out there.
So this is my first time writing a review for a product, but I visit this site all the time before I buy products. Let me tell you, this foundation is absolutely AMAZING. To give you a brief history of the foundations I've tried would take me forever. I've tried drugstore brands and many department store brands. This foundation has such a wonderful color selection!! They have multiple yellow undertones to choose from and the coverage is great. Buildable without looking cakey! I apply this with a beauty blender (which I just started using and cannot say anything but amazing things about it!) and it looks flawless. Poreless. And healthy! I was skeptical about the staying power when I first tried this because it's "sheer glow" and I have slightly oily skin. This lasts me a good 8 hrs with a few touch ups in between with my Mac blot powder, which is also great. No breakouts from this, just lovely skin!
Sheer Glow is sheer gorgeous!!! Love the ease in application, color match and coverage. This is not cakey like others have warned... It is smooth and light.
How I applied it:
1. Put small dot of sheer glow (dime size) on the back of my hand
2. Using a damp beauty blender sponge, I dabbed into the makeup and lightly applied to my face in a stippling motion.
3. You can add more or less depending on your preference for coverage.
I wear the shade deauville and I am fair with neutral undertones. My face can get ruddy so I appreciate the amount of yellow in this product.
I also wear Nars torrid blush and it coordinates well with the foundation shade.
More reviews by Cranberrydoesmakeup
I know this foundation is attractive, because of it's brand name and for all the you tubers out there raving about this product, but you must know that this foundation is VERY misleading!
If you have the slightest dry skin, do not get this product. This foundation has the power to cling on to any dry patches you have on your face, however small they are! I have oily skin but the foundation was able to detect a dry patch I did not even realise I had! Not a good look.
This cakes up like NONE OTHER! Not only does the foundation like dry patches, but it also sets quickly into streaks. I have tried the Sigma F40 brush, the Real techniques Buffing Brush, and my fingers but this foundation always looks cakey.
Overall, this foundation is definitely NOT worth the high price! It may look beautiful on video when you see beauty gurus apply it but this is because of the lighting. In person, it looks like you slathered the Sahara Desert on your face with a fork. Do yourself a favour and do not get sucked into the hype like I did. Try it on at a friend's house, somewhere where the lighting will not fool you like in a Nars counter.
4 out of 7 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
My shade is Santa Fe. I have mostly dry skin with some slightly oily areas around my T-zone.
- Nice light coverage, buildable to medium coverage
- Long wearing: I'm a sweaty person but this foundation easily lasts over 12hrs
- Easy to blend: whether it be an application with a stippling brush, buffing brush, finger application, it's super easy to blend this foundation
- It's a little expensive for my liking
- Finally a good color match (Siberia)
- Texture is kind of hard to apply, VS the ease of BB creams. I have to be a lot more careful with application or it can be uneven.
- It's so fucking powdery. I have dry skin that I keep well moisturized, but after 6 or so hours my skin feels tight and the foundation is clinging for dear life to every pore. I use a moisturizing primer and treat my skin very gently. This should not be happening to me in the middle of a humid summer.

Um... Moscow, we have a problem
Comment on this storyMoscow - The Russian cargo ship Progress has failed to successfully dock with the International Space Station (ISS) during tests designed to facilitate future dockings, the US and Russian space agencies said on Tuesday.
"The re-docking of the Russian ISS Progress 47 resupply spacecraft to the International Space Station has been postponed due to an apparent failure in the new Kurs-NA rendezvous system," Nasa said in a statement on its website.
A spokesman for the Russian Mission Control Centre confirmed to AFP that the the cargo ship known as Progress M-15M had failed to dock, without providing further details.
Nasa said the cargo ship was now at a safe distance from the ISS and the next docking attempt could occur on Saturday or Sunday.
"Progress 47 flew approximately 1.8 miles below the station to a safe distance away from the orbiting outpost, where it will remain until another attempt is made to re-rendezvous with the space station," Nasa said.
The vehicle had undocked from the station on Sunday to perform tests to faciliate future dockings of cargo ships to the space station. - Sapa-AFP

Alice, who has recently left the UK and moved to America with her mother and younger sister, struggles to differentiate between reality and fantasy as she copes with her parents' turbulent divorce. In this original, coming-of-age story, the characters of Wonderland help Alice reach the realization that escapism is not the answer to dealing with grief and confusion. Streetsboro Theatre is excited to team once again with Brown and other professionals to create a spectacular piece of entertainment.

Don't Let Credit Report Errors Ruin Your Life
Last year, we told the story (in
Credit where credit's due -- but only if you're lucky) of John G. Watts of Birmingham, Ala. The first time Mr. Watts knew he had an outstanding medical bill was when he was contacted by debt collectors. He immediately called the hospital, confirmed that the claimed $200 was -- in spite of his not having received an invoice -- legitimately owed, and the next day paid the collection agency in full.
Credit report errors are serious
Clearly someone had made a mistake, but, in spite of that, the collection company added a "paid collection account" to Watts's credit report, something that would likely affect his access to cheap borrowing for years to follow. And it was only after a long struggle -- made only slightly easier by the fact that Watts is a consumer attorney, who frequently drags collection agencies into court -- that a correction was made.
In early May 2013, The New York Times reported on a similar case, that of Megan Barringer, who, six years ago, was the victim of another medical billing error. She, too, paid the money she owed, but still received an adverse entry on her credit report. Unfortunately, she was unaware of this, and only found out about it when she applied, in April 2013, for a home loan. That black mark against her meant she could get a mortgage only with an interest rate half a percentage point above what she would otherwise have been offered. And the Times calculated that would cost her an additional $33,000 in unnecessarily high interest payments over the lifetime of her new home loan.
Credit report errors are common
It's bad enough to have a poor credit score as a result of a period of personal financial turmoil. It must be even worse to have one as a result of a simple clerical error, and yet we've know for many years that such mistakes are common. In February 2013, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) published the results of a survey that revealed just how frequently they arise:
- One in four Americans found errors on their credit reports that could impact on their credit scores.
- One in 20 consumers had already had their credit score changed by at least 25 points as a result of appealing such errors.
- One in 250 had seen their scores jump by more than 100 points when they challenged an error.
These are eye-opening numbers for American consumers. The results of this first-of-its-kind study make it clear that consumers should check their credit reports regularly. If they don't, they are potentially putting their pocketbooks at risk.
The importance of credit scores
Few will be surprised that Megan Barringer was penalized -- if unfairly -- for the black mark on her credit report when she applied for a home loan. We all know than those with less-than-perfect credit histories generally pay higher mortgage, auto loan and credit card rates -- if they're approved at all. And it's common knowledge that it's often harder and more expensive to rent a home if your credit's spotty.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Any comments on pros of one type of duct over the other? I am moving my entire system to the attic. The rigid duct costs about $700 more.
Also, one contractor want to mount the furnace on all thread rods connected to the roof rafters. Another contractors wants to mount on the ceiling joists. Any comments on the pros and cons of each method? Finally one contractor said I could not put a 90% plus furnace in the attic because the condensate would freeze while the other contractor said this would not be a problem.
Follow-Up Postings:
I used all insulated, rigid duct and don't regret it. Flex duct is the cheap way. I set my air handler on the attic plywood floor above my bedroom on rubber pads and I can hardly hear it. Suspended from the joists is supposed to stop the direct transfer of vibration. |
I'm pretty happy with my solid ducts. Very quiet. |
Frozen condensate resulting in probable fractured furnace condensate collectors, and traps is a concern in cold climates. If your located in a climate that the air in the attic may be at freezing temps, then a 80% furnace should be considered. While some attempt to box in areas and wrap with heat tape, not always the best idea |

Nothing wrong with metal trunk lines and flexible ducts leading to the supplies for most cases. However, if not cost prohibitive, indeed, I would recommend all rigid ductwork. |
The recommendation we tried to implement was to have rigid duct to within 5 feet of register boots. Flex only for those last connections. We ended up with more in several places. Still seems to work fine. Our furnace is 80% (dual fuel backup to HP) and is set on plywood on the ceiling joists. My only gripe about this is that there's at least one electrical junction box that was pulled loose and dropped into the joist bay beneath the air handler during installation. I can't get to that or really do anything much about the insulation under the air handler. Kinda sucks b/c the hallway below really needs a ceiling fixture, and there's already a blanked off switch box in the hall from a whole-house fan that we removed when the air handler went in. |

I prefer the rigid main/trunk duct with flex to the duct register boxes. Remember, when cutting and designing duct, the rigid can be cut in any dimension, eg. 12 1/2 x 12 1/2 or 9 x 7 or any combination. The tool for this is a 'ductalator' a ductwork slide rule. By placing the knowns it will provide the above combinations that will deliver the maximum amount of air flow. FLex duct cannot do this as it only comes in fixed diameters, eg. 6" 7" etc. So you see the rigid is more precise if done properly. To help save on labor the flex can then be used to run from the main to the duct box. As the runs are usually short the affect on the total system efficiency is usually minimal. As for hanging or placing on the ceiling joists consider: if hanging from the rafters the weight is pulling DOWN pulling the rafters inwards which is also the force they were designed to resist. if placing on the joists that is only a board that is run between the rafters and has no real support so to speak. Here in FL they want the a/h to be supported from the rafters. Can't help you with the gas furnace issue. Sorry.. Good luck.. |
I just moved into a custom-build home. It has hot water radiant floor heating; the air conditioning uses rigid ducts with registers in the ceiling. I clearly specified that the a/c should be quiet to the extent that it would not be noticeable, and that it should be draft free; it is neither. The noise level is about what one would expect in a tract home, which this is not!! Almost certainly the noise is the result of excessive air velocity resulting from ducts that should be larger. Probably the blower cannot be slowed down since the air discharge temperature is about 51 degrees and, reducing the blower speed enough to cause a significant reduction in noise would reduce the efficiency. At this point, I am not certain what the solution is, but probably it will not be cheap. I'm guessing that it will be necessary to tear into the gypsum board ceilings and increase the duct size for the last few feet (5 feet perhaps?) and put in larger registers. Also, replacing the rectangular registers with square ones having adjustable curved fins which discharge the air in 4 directions instead of 2 directions should considerably reduce drafts. If this were done, would it be quieter if the last few feet of duct before each register were flexible instead of rigid? Replacing ducts all the way from the air handlers (there are 2 air handlers and 2 condensing units because the upstairs and downstairs are cooled separately) would be virtually impossible because of space limitations. Can others offer suggestions? I'd like to hear them. |
"As for hanging or placing on the ceiling joists consider: if hanging from the rafters the weight is pulling DOWN pulling the rafters inwards which is also the force they were designed to resist. if placing on the joists that is only a board that is run between the rafters and has no real support so to speak." This needs evaluation on an individual basis. Joist loading will increase compressive strain possibly offset by walls. Rafter loading increases shear on fasteners unless hung equally either side of a structural ridge which most houses don't have. Given concerns with freezing of condensate, snow loads could further complicate the issue. |

The thing about flex duct that can be so misleading is the fact that most of us have seen really crappy installs that use alot of flex strung out all over an attic. There is nothing wrong with flex duct as long as it's installed correctly. It need to be pulled tight as to make the inner skin as smooth as possible, resulting in less air friction. Sure, it doesn't last as long as board or metal, but overall is cheaper to install. I personally like a nice trunk (board) across the whole house and then i branch off the the insulated boxes with flex, usually less than 10" runs. It won't matter what kind of material your duct system is made of... if the system isn't sized correctly. Hope this helps |
Flex duct has higher flow resistance that must be accounted for in the duct design. Ductboard is another good alternative. You want the lowest mass duct work in unconditioned space. When the system is not circulating, the ambient around the ducts starts to heat (or cool) them. Insulation slows the movement of heat, but does not stop it. |

Our home is 40 years old and I diyed the HVAC had it inspected,and was told that yes rigid duct is far superior,I used 16" flex for the trunk line,inspec said thats OK but over time the tape on the take offs will lose thier seal due to temp changes the system runs great and I can barely hear it, was I wrong doing it this way? |
agreed with edward. my fiend, working in a local construction firm, also suggested me rigid duct over flexible duct as its more durable |

This is the way to go, no more hotels.
We drove from Miami and getting to the home was really easy. Upon our arrival, we didn't have to worry about retrieving any keys because the lock was a digital lock. Worked great for us, no worries about losing keys while having fun. Clement is great, we entered the unit and the premise was exactly as described. The bedrooms were comfortable and perfectly laid out.
The home is located close to a lot of good eats and shopping. The home is also located very near Disney and all the theme parks. We would most definitely return to this home again.
Great Holiday Condo
We have just returned from a two month stay in this condo and can't wait to return for longer next year.
The condo was spotless with functional furniture, very comfortable beds and lovely large rooms. Chris, the owner, went out of his way to make our visit perfect even to the point of bringing extra wine glasses when our family arrived. He was always available and obviously cares about his units and guests.
There are many excellent restaurants within walking distance as well as a convenient grocery store. We made many visits to nearby Celebration where we enjoyed a superb meal at the Colombia restaurant as well as the Christmas decorations and festivities.
Both Disney and Universal are about 15 minutes away and the Orlando airport only about 30 min.
We enjoyed shopping at Kissimmee's fantastic "Loop" mall and then loved coming back to the condo to relax in the hot tub and pool.
We would highly recommend this unit to anyone wanting a great place to stay and a caring landlord.
Thanks Chris
Awesome place. Recomendo.
Bem localizado, perto de restaurantes e supermercados. Apartamento aconchegante, limpo e confortável. Gostaríamos de voltar.

Are you wondering how much to invest in fertilizer this year? We will soon be approaching the period of the forage growing season critical for stockpiling pastures.
Storing hay, after production, has a cost to the farm operator in terms of time, effort and machinery required to move bales from production areas to storage areas and then to feeding areas.
Well, it never fails. We go out there with the perfect plans and plant the perfect pasture. In no time at all, undesirable plants find a way to grow with our crop.
Frost seeding of legumes in February and early March can be used to improve pasture quality and yield.
Nitrogen is generally the most limiting nutrient for plant growth and it is also one of the most expensive nutrients when purchased as a commercial fertilizer.
The 2006 Ohio Forage Performance Trial Report will be available very soon at Extension offices, but is available now on the Internet.
This winter is the most expensive period of livestock production. Cold, wet weather increases the nutrient requirements of farm animals and the grass has stopped growing.
Now is a time of year many cow-calf operators enjoy because the season's calf crop has been sold, all the hay has been made, most of the equipment is put away and there is a little extra money in the bank.
With many harvested small grain fields that weren't double cropped to soybeans now sitting idle, cattlemen still have an excellent opportunity to create high quality forages that may be grazed well into winter, and even next spring.
The month of August offers a window of great opportunities to get a jump on pasture planning and development.
Stockpiling fescue and orchardgrass is generally considered an economical way to extend the grazing season and cut feed costs.
Where are your livestock now? You are probably wondering what kind of question is that. Of course, we hope they're still in the field we put them into last.
We hear and see many reasons for improving our grazing practices. Reasons. Over the last several years, the federal government has also chosen to support and encourage grazing through the use of government programs.
Applying fertilizers to hay and pasture fields to stimulate plant growth will generally increase yields substantially.
Our January weather here in Ohio has been quite pleasant compared with the cold December we experienced.
Forage can provide most of the nutritional requirements of a beef herd during the fall and winter. The challenge becomes the management of supplement due to variations in forage quality and growth.
Undoubtedly, winter feeding practices of livestock varies from farm to farm as much or more than any other feeding period the entire year.
As we have experienced this year, forage quantity is drastically down as a result of dry conditions.
August is the time Ohio producers should begin stockpiling feed for their animals winter needs.
Stockpiling means to accumulate forages that will be harvested by grazing livestock at a later time.
Late summer is an excellent time to establish forages.
The following steps will assist producers in successful renovation and establishment of grass fields and legumes.

Boerne man drowns Saturday near Bob Hall Pier
CORPUS CHRISTI - A 52-year-old Boerne man drowned about 4 p.m. Saturday while swimming with some family members north of Bob Hall Pier, police said.
Witnesses told authorities the man was swimming with his daughter and was swept under by a large wave.
The man was floating unconscious past the second sandbar as the first officer arrived, said Corpus Christi Police Department's Lt. David Kureska.
The officer retrieved the man, and beachgoers helped bring him ashore, Kureska said.
"Women who identified themselves as nurses gave him CPR," Kureska said.
The man didn't gain consciousness.
He was taken to Corpus Christi Medical Center's Bay Area Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The man's name was not released Saturday pending notification of other family members, Kureska said.
