Mudjacking or concrete leveling may be the answer if your front porch is stooping or your sidewalk is slouching. Consider these tips to level sunken concrete.
Concrete pros say perfectly uniform concrete is not always possible, but excessive discoloration can occur for several reasons. Here are some possible fixes.
Contractors say homeowners with this trait are the most satisfied with home improvement projects.
Angie's Answers
Bids are NOT done based on a multiplier on top of materials cost to get labor cost. Think of the consequences in the example you gave - by that method using say plain home depot tile made in Honduras might cost $5/SF materials, so by your method $10 labor. Now, same floor, with Carerra marble or Barre Granite at $75-100/SF - so do you want him charging you $150-200/SF labor when it takes almost exactly the same time regardless of material ?
To put it in simple terms, contractors:
1) figure the amount and cost of materials and consumables needed from the plans and specifications, applying a markup (from 15-50%, depending on contractor and how fancy or specialized a job it is).
2) Then they figure the equipment needed and the operating time to be used or elapsed time to be rented or leased - either opperating hour or elapsed time, or combination of both, especially if it consumes fuel
3) They then figure the labor time for the various trades required to do the job, maybe add an efficiency or ease of work multiplier to those hours to fit the job conditions, multiply those hours by the hourly pay rates, then multiply that times the "load" or "Labor Overhead" to account for employment taxes, workman's compensation costs, health plan, etc, etc.
4) Then they add in the cost of any architect or engineer plans or certifications that are needed, government permits and inspections, etc.
5) Then they add in any subcontractor bids, with appropriate contingency amount for each.
6) All those above totals are added up, an appropriate overall contingency added if needed (typically 5-10%, but on remote site jobs I have seen as high as 200%), and (depending on how contractor figures his costs) at least all the "in-house" costs like his equipment, consumables, and labor costs have a percentage overhead and profit added to them - typically about 100-150%. Some contractors use a lower overhead percentage but apply it to the total estimated job cost, not just in-house costs.
This "company overhead" or "general overhead" or "G&A - General and Administrative Overhead" covers the costs of financing and running the company, management and secretarial and general supply and maintenance costs, buildings and equipment yards lease or mortgage cost, working capital cost, insurance, loan interest, general shop equipment payments, profit, etc. Some contractors use a lower overhead and apply it to every cost in the job, some (especially those doing government work so havingto adhere to government accounting rules) apply a "markup percentage" to materials and rental costs and outside subcontract services, and apply G&A overhead only to in-house costs.
That being said, for a general class of work it does generally (on normal jobs) work out that there is a general multiple of labor to materials cost. For instance, yard work and residential tree work is heavy on labor, so it might have a labor to materials ratio of 3:1 or even 5:1. Detail foundation hand excavation and underpinning can run to 5:1 or more. Many types of building construction like plumbing, tile, carpentry, etc. do end up with a very roughly 2:1 or 3:1 ratio of labor to materials cost. At the other extreme, high energy efficiency or hurricane rated glass installation or a fancy full-building computer and communications system or high-end entertainment center might have a labor to materials ratio of 0.25-0.5 because it is designed to go in pretty fast, but the materials cost a lot.
For your case, a hardscaping ratio could run from 0.5:1 or less to as much as 3:1 or more, for installations with very expensive imported stone and fancy woods and a lot of bought decorative items such as statuary, to the opposite labor-intensive landscaping with lots of sidehill terracing and hand-planted flower beds, hand-dug irrigation system trenches, and manual-placed concrete block or railroad tie walls. Each job should be figured on its own merits - using a "rule-of-thumb" is where people commonly get unpleasantly surprised. That is why you typically get 3 bids unless you have a contractor you trust from prior experience and are confident will give you a fair shake regardless of being sole-sourced. Personally, both for my own purposes and professionally in the design and construction business, I have found sole-source to trusted contractors you have experience with is, in the long run, a BIG money and time saver, as well as making it far more likely to finish on schedule and let you sleep at night.
You need a general contractor - prefereably one who specializes in additions, because you have excavation, waterproofing, concrete, concrete cutting, carpentry, door and window, etc trades to coordinate.
The cost will depend a great deal on your topography around the house - if the base of the window will be above ground level at least 6 inches, then could run about $500 for a legal egress window purchase and about $1000-2000 for installation, depending on how deep into the concrete you have to cut.
If the bottom of the window will be below ground level, then to call it a bedroom (which mandates legal sized second egress and usauully at least one window) then you will have two choices - bring it out into a solid watertight concrete storm cellar with collar to keep water out, stairs, and and weather and bug-tight cellar door that is inward-opening, which means a lot of space for stairs and landings top and bottom, or bring it out into an oversized window well at least 36 inches in diameter, and with steps to ground level, with adequate drainage and waterproofing to keep it dry. Either way, sometimes about as easy to put in an outside door as a window, and might raise property value more. Cost from $2-5,000 depending on how deep into concrete wall you have to dig, whether concrete wsall needs reinforcing with steel frame because of the depth of cut, how easy the digging is, and what your water conditions are near the foundation. The last thing you want to do is create an easy water or vermin ingress with your egress.
The cost to install the veneer stone has a wide range do to many factors. It can range from around $9 to $17 per square foot. It depends on the location, the stone being used, job access, skaffolding needs, wall prep and such. I would think you would be on the lower end of the scale. Your job is on a concrete surface so it eliminates one of the biggest problems they are having with this product, wall preperation. This one of the things that separates the high bidders from the low ones. There are million dollars homes being torn down because of improper wall prep. One a wood frame house a backing system that allows drainage is a must or the moisture absorbed by the veneer can rot the walls behind with alarming speed. Some have had makor damage within the first four years. On a concrete wall the veneer needs no such prep at most wire mesh applied if it is an older concrete wall.
Is the wall that the garage is sloped toward and adjacent wall of the home?
If not, it should not be of real concern.
Try to keep the water out of the garage with a gasket on the door.
Concrete Repair reviews in Waynesboro
I have no problem recommending them to anyone I know!
When the economy is in the toilet because of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., then all bids must go accordingly. If not, move onto another estimate!
I was given an estimate, but the price tag demanded a mortgage loan. He has had many customers, but when the economy is in the toilet thanks to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. then the estimate must be adjusted accordingly. If not then, move onto another estimate.
I contacted to bid on a project for removing and leveling a basement floor and removing and replacing a section of stairs that had become separated from the foundation / porch. The son ( Jr) came and gave a bid on both projects. I explained I needed the floor leveled for laminate or tile to be placed. We agreed that previously laid tile could be removed, but if I did not need to remove cabinets to acheive that it would be great. There was still furniture in the room at that time. Because of that, once the furniture was removed, I contacted SR. and ask that he come to look at it so that the bid could be confirmed. I again explained that I needed a level surface to laminate or tile. Sr came and confirmed the bid. I stressed to both of them that there was a previously installed interior French Drain that must not be disrupted. Neither of them ever got out a beam or level in my presence. Sr. stated "No problem, this is easy." AFTER SR CAME I STATED THAT I NEEDED A CONTRACT ITEMIZING THE WORK PRIOR TO WORK BEING INITIATED AND DURING 2 FOLLOW-UP PHONE CALLS WAS TOLD THAT HE WOULD DROP IT OFF. IT WAS NEVER DELIVERED.
The next contact I had was a call stating they were coming to do the demo. They came and sawed out the old concrete. (That went well except they broke a few things and threw them into the rubble without ever mentioning it.) I assumed they had removed as much concrete as they needed to in order to do the job correctly.
Several days later they called and stated they would be coming on January 19 to pour the concrete. I took the day off from work to be there in case any issues came up. When asked to show me where the French Drain was prior to pouring the concrete the workers became very irritated and RUDE as the concrete was on the way. Jr actually stated, "That's not my job". When I told him they would not pour until I had confirmation that it was there, he and his workers became angry and started digging and complaining until it was found. After they located the drain I said I hoped they understood as that was a VERY expensive repair to remediate flooding. All of the fabric covering the drain which keeps debris from clogging the drain had been destroyed and Jr assured me that it was not needed.
After the drain issue was resolved, they had never called me downstairs to ask any questions or indicate things were going any differently than discussed. After the concrete was poured and they were finishing up, I asked one of the workers how they had marked the floor to achieve a level surface. He pointed to ONE PIECE OF REBAR and said they marked the level on the rebar piece!! At that point I asked that they a beam and /or a level to demonstrate that it was level. I was shocked that there was still a heave as high as the original - with the beam laid out on the highest point there was and IS a height difference of about 3 inches on all sides surrounding the high point. I insisted that Sr. be called over to inspect immediately. When I complained they actually argued that I did not request that the floor be leveled! I could not and cannot comprehend the absurdity of this argument! They said I asked for it to match the tile - even though they tore out over 1/3 of the tile that can't be matched. I still have to tear out the remaining tile to relay new tile. I was very stressed and Sr. said "Well you can just paint it and we will take $400.00 off the job (out of ($4777). The concrete was already starting to set and Sr. indicated they were NOT going to re-do the job when his wife asked him why it couldn't be leveled. After they left I realized I could have just filled the cracks myself for a much cheaper price than for the new uneven floor I just received. But now there were saw cut , remaining cracks and actual places where the concrete was not even filled in.
I had to leave town for a few days and tried to contact Sr. 3 times - during which he answered and said he could not talk. He then sent an email requesting payment. I told him the job was unacceptable and and that we would need to meet. He stated that he could not meet. I called again upon my return to town and Sr again refused to speak to me. I again stated that the job was unacceptable and that we would need to resolve the problem before payment would be issued.
The next call I received was from Pre Mix Concrete stating that they were putting a on my house for non-payment (for materials) !! I have asked them to come look at the job prior to doing so. I returned a missed call from Jr.who stated that "his father wanted him to call and obtain payment". When I asked how we were going to resolve the problem he talked over me and refused to discuss fixing the job and stated that they would be placing a on my property as well and proceeded to hang up on me.
The entire experience has been extremely stressful and pure H***!! Their workmanship was shoddy ( they left big gaping holes where the new stairs meet the foundation - where water can still get in and expand - which could have been made smooth with about 12 ounces of concrete!) They have been extremely rude and unwilling to negotiate in order to remediate the situation.
I feel I now have nowhere to turn. I have photos showing the amount of heave left in the floor, saw and cracks unfilled and one patch that was never even completely filled with concrete. I have NO means of putting any covering on the floor that requires a level surface. Carpeting is unacceptable as I have pets. I can't even paint (their ONLY suggestion at a solution) as the surface in not even prepared for that - not that I see that as a solution.
Based on the mostly good few reviews they have received,it appears that is able to adequately complete smaller jobs. However, if there is even a small that any craftsmanship or accuracy is involved they prove to be totally incompetent and unprofessional and I recommend they be AVOIDED at high costs to YOU!!! They have refused all attempts I have made to discuss the problem in a professional manner.

It's so creamy and easy to use, great for tightlining also. This has been my favorite pencil eyeliner for more than two years now, I highly recommend it.
More reviews by bridgetong1019
Okay. Ive been using this type of eyeliner for a while and this is the only one I would buy repititively. I love the fact that it comes with a sharpener! Its staying power is good, it only smudges a teensy bit throughout the day. Sometimes itll flake, but only a bit so I dont mind. :). Its texture is smooth and creamy so with that comes a nice application.
Warning contact wearers...it flakes! IT FLAKES! I loved this at first use. It goes on so smooth and bold. Then I began to notice my contacts were clouding up, irritating my eyes, and I was constantly taking them out to rinse them off to find little bits of residue on them that I had to practically scrub off. I soon realized that this eyeliner was the culprit! It flakes into my eyes as well as onto my face. It also smudges something awful. I threw it out which is something I never do. Waste of money and almost destroyed one of my contacts.

My favorite eyeliner! I use Noir & the color is a very dark black. It glides on smooth & stays put all day. It is a true waterproof eyeliner. I dont have to reapply it during the day, & it doesn't budge until I remove it with makeup remover. It cost between $4 & $5. I have trouble finding it in stores, they are always out, so it must be popular. I usually end up ordering it online through drustore websites, & I stock up. I don't ever want to run out of this. It works so well! I am 46 & have been wearing makeup since I was 12. I have tried every eyeliner on the market, from inexpensive to high end. This one is the best!

My favourite eyeliner. I hate having pencil eyeliners - I always loose sharpeners and I find eyeliner hard to sharpen anyway. Also they irritate my waterline. This however, it's nice and creamy and doesn't irritate me at all. The sharpener is so handy - although can fall off sometimes - and I find the smudger at the end works better with this particular eyeliner than any of my smudge brushes, which it's handy. I wear it everyday as I love heavy black eyeliner (I'm quite goth/scene but it can look natural too)
The only con is sometimes it smudges. Most days it doesn't, but there are them days wear it does. It's not too hard to avoid though. Love the packaging and I think ALL eyeliners should be twist-up like this one. Holy grail and so cheap. Will repurchase this forever, and I'm on my like, forth or fifth one. I love rimmel and they haven't let me down with this product. I always recommend this. I have bought this for some of my friends and they love it as much as I do and wear it all the time, too.
I like this eyeliner because it's really easy to apply, I just use it in my upper waterline but it transfers to my upper waterline (smudge) during the day. Not too much but it's not cute. It's kinda hard to remove.

One of the best gel eyeliners I have used. I wear this whenever I go out dancing (it gets hot and sweaty) and found this will stay on without any problem. The colour will fade slightly but not very noticeably. It will only smudge if you rub against it with a bit of force. It has a smudge tool attached to it and you can blend it to give a smokey effect. The packaging makes it very easy to use.
The only con about this is that the sharpener at the end sometimes falls off and can get lost in your make-up bag. I've re-bought this product a couple of times so there is always a sharpener about and you can also sharpen with with a similar sharpener from another product.
I have been buying this eyeliner for almost a year. It's fantastic and definitely has been one of my favorites! I've tried MANY (nine other eyeliners) and none of them work as well as this one. I've only tried one high-end liner that I got for Christmas, and I try not to use it for the everyday look. This eyeliner does smudge, but not nearly as bad as the others I've tried. I am Asian, so I put a decent amount of eyeliner on and my eyes narrow. It stays on for a while if I just put it on my water line, if I'm using it on the lid as well, it stays for 4-6 hours (but it will smudge a bit). All-in-all, it's a lovely eyeliner and I suggest it to everyone!
This eyeliner has everything I was looking for. It is waterproof, not too soft, and most importantly: easy to sharpen. You twist it to get more product out and sharpen with the tiny sharpener that it part of the pencil.
P.S. The softness is as great as Annabelle's smoothliner's but the sharpener makes Rimmel the winner for me.

Love love love love this liner. I have deep set, hooded, sensitive eyes. That means my eyes water. Profusely. Everything smudges on me. Everything gives me raccoon eyes. Okay, maybe not everything but definitely almost all eyeliner. Lucky me, I have black lashes and don't really need liner but that doesn't stop me from wanting to wear one from time to time. Normally I use Sephora's nano liners (they're my favorite and so underrated) but after losing my black one I picked this up on a whim because I had a coupon. It sat it a drawer for weeks before I decided to give it a try. I just expected it to be horrible so I never bothered! Huge mistake. I wouldn't say it's holy grail worthy but it's effective. Smudging is minimal. It doesn't irritate my eyes. It doesn't run. It will last in my waterline at least 3-4 hours and all day above/below my lashes and very few liners can do that for me. I also love that it comes with a smudge tip since I prefer a blended out line over a harsh one. Overall, this is a drugstore gem and I'll more than likely repurchase this in the future because it's a better deal than the nano liners.

Zagreb Fair
Founded | 1909 (as Zagrebački zbor) 1946 (as Zagrebački velesajam) |
Headquarters | Zagreb, Croatia |
Parent | Zagreb Holding |
Website | www |
Zagreb Fair (Croatian: Zagrebački velesajam) is a complex of exhibition pavilions in Zagreb, Croatia. The company which operates the venue carries the same name.
The Zagreb Fair is the main venue in Zagreb for trade shows and fairs. Every year more than 25 specialised events are held at the venue, attended by more than 6,000 participants from 50 countries.[1] Apart from trade fairs it is also used as a convention center.[2][3][4]
History of trade fairs in Zagreb dates back to 1242 when the Hungarian king Bela IV issued a Golden Bull declaring Zagreb a free royal city and granting it the right to hold fairs.[5] The first international exhibition in Zagreb was held in 1864. "Zagreb assembly" (Croatian: Zagrebački zbor) was co-founded by Samuel David Alexander. The Zagreb Fair was also the first fair held in post-WWII Yugoslavia in 1947.[6] In 1956 it was relocated to the newly constructed Novi Zagreb part of the city south of the river Sava.

Pervasive vulnerabilities in SOHO routers
SO HOpelessly Broken
Home and small office networks typically place their security in the hands of an inexpensive device that serves as a router, DHCP server, firewall, and wireless hotspot. How secure are these SOHO router devices? We're glad you asked …
Small office/home office (SOHO) routers are a staple networking appliance for millions of consumers. SOHO routers are often the single point of ingress and egress from a SOHO network, managing domain name resolution, firewall protection, dynamic addressing, wireless connectivity, and, of course, routing. The heavy use of SOHO routers in the consumer market, as well as the targeted demographic of non-computer-savvy users, has not surprisingly led to some very easy-to-use turnkey solutions.
The list of known vulnerabilities for SOHO routing devices is long (Figure 1), and our research revealed 56 previously undisclosed security vulnerabilities in SOHO devices. The alarming quantity of these security problems demonstrate how the rich service and feature sets (e.g., SMB, NetBIOS, HTTP(S), FTP, UPnP, and Telnet) implemented in these routers comes at a significant cost to security. All the extraneous services running within these SOHO routers expose attack surfaces that a malicious adversary can leverage to compromise the router core and gain a foothold in the victim network.
Once compromised, any router – SOHO or otherwise – may be used by an adversary to secure a man-in-the-middle position for launching more sophisticated attacks against all users in the router's domain. The attacks could include sniffing and rerouting all network traffic, poisoning DNS resolvers, performing denial of service attacks, or impersonating servers. Worse still is that these routers are also firewalls and often represent the first and last line of defense for protecting the local network. Once compromised, the adversary has unfettered access to exploit the vulnerabilities of local area hosts that would be otherwise unreachable if the router were enforcing firewall rules as intended.

Re:In memory of 9/11 (698 comments)
It's coming through a hole in the air,
from those nights in Tiananmen Square.
It's coming from the feel
that this ain't exactly real,
or it's real, but it ain't exactly there.
From the wars against disorder,
from the sirens night and day,
from the fires of the homeless,
from the ashes of the gay:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
It's coming through a crack in the wall;
on a visionary flood of alcohol;
from the staggering account
of the Sermon on the Mount
which I don't pretend to understand at all.
It's coming from the silence
on the dock of the bay,
from the brave, the bold, the battered
heart of Chevrolet:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
It's coming from the sorrow in the street,
the holy places where the races meet;
from the homicidal bitchin'
that goes down in every kitchen
to determine who will serve and who will eat.
From the wells of disappointment
where the women kneel to pray
for the grace of God in the desert here
and the desert far away:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
Sail on, sail on
O mighty Ship of State!
To the Shores of Need
Past the Reefs of Greed
Through the Squalls of Hate
Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on.
It's coming to America first,
the cradle of the best and of the worst.
It's here they got the range
and the machinery for change
and it's here they got the spiritual thirst.
It's here the family's broken
and it's here the lonely say
that the heart has got to open
in a fundamental way:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
It's coming from the women and the men.
O baby, we'll be making love again.
We'll be going down so deep
the river's going to weep,
and the mountain's going to shout Amen!
It's coming like the tidal flood
beneath the lunar sway,
imperial, mysterious,
in amorous array:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
Sail on, sail on
I'm sentimental, if you know what I mean
I love the country but I can't stand the scene.
And I'm neither left or right
I'm just staying home tonight,
getting lost in that hopeless little screen.
But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags
that Time cannot decay,
I'm junk but I'm still holding up
this little wild bouquet:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

Seeing how the 3DS is soon to be celebrating it's one year anniversary, I thought it'd be a good idea to countdown twenty of the greatest games for it's 2D predecessor. That and a countdown of the top 10 3DS games is impossible since it doesn't even have 10 games worth owning. (Note: I own a 3DS and several games on the system, there are must own titles, but not enough at this time for me to say it has an extensive library) This is just my personal list, what are some of your choices? Sound off and try to guess what the top 10 titles will be, coming up soon.

PROVIDENCE. R.I. — Governor Chafee said Wednesday that the George W. Bush administration kicked "a hornets' nest" with its 2003 invasion of Iraq, an act that unleashed sectarian divisions among Iraqis that are playing out today as militants continue to wrest control of territory from the faltering government of Nouri al-Maliki.
Chafee offered his views in an interview after the militants seized control of most of the city of Tikrit, hometown of the late dictator Saddam Hussein. They had captured the city of Mosul the day before.
"I never understood the original push for war in Iraq, never understood the logic of regime change," Chafee said. "These neocons [neo-conservatives] all through the '90s were talking the importance of regime change in Iraq and toppling Saddam Hussein, the strongman. I just didn't understand stirring up the hornets' nest that is the Middle East. It just never made any sense to me, and now we're seeing some of the ramifications of having deviated from our Cold War containment strategy."
(As a Republican U.S. senator, Chafee was famously the only member of his party to vote against the invasion of Iraq. He later quit the Republican Party to become an independent, and is now a Democrat.)
Chafee said of the containment strategy, "It worked. It worked in Russia. It worked in China."
He said President George H.W. Bush "did the right thing" during the first Gulf War.
"He pushed Saddam out of Kuwait and continued on with the containment strategy. Then we radically departed from containment and did a unilateral intervention. And the ramifications are not good. I always thought our Cold War strategy depended on strong alliances. Those have been fractured through this misadventure. Obviously, it's happening in Syria. I just believe in multinational approaches that are respectful of everybody's positions. We deviated from that respect. We've got to try rebuilding those alliances with the Saudis, the Turks, the Jordanians — that's going to be the key."
Sen. Jack Reed, a Democrat, also questioned the wisdom of the invasion.
"I thought from the very beginning that the policy was inappropriate, based upon the threats in 2003 and also the fact that we had an ongoing operation in Afghanistan," he said.
"One other factor is the very fragile balance of power between the Sunnis, the Shiia and the Kurds that was shattered by our intervention in Iraq. What we are seeing now is the continuation of the battle between the Shiia and the Sunnis. That battle extends into Syria. There is a great instability that has been accelerating over the last few weeks … a byproduct, although an unintended one, of our invasion in Iraq."
Reed said he had been skeptical in 2002. "Sometimes people forget that we had U.N. inspectors on the ground, and the Bush administration short-circuited their inspection," he said. "I was one of 22 or 23 senators to disapprove of that."
When ask to predict what the picture would look like a year from now, Reed responded, "I think there's going to be a very turbulent region, not just for a year but for several years. I think you'll see constant fighting. There's potential for fragmentation of the country."
He said the country could break up into three regions controlled respectively by the Shiia, the Sunnis and the Kurds.
Bill Babcock also had some views on the situation.
A member of the Rhode Island National Guard who served in Iraq in 2005, Babcock had been a student at the Army War College when he was assigned to submit a paper that was "a campaign plan for a mythical war" in North Africa, and particularly the city of Tripoli.
It was understood that the "mythical war" and "Tripoli" were actually Iraq and Baghdad, he said, "but this was '99, before the towers went down." His plan was to attack and occupy the enemy capital of Tripoli.
"My instructor wrote back, 'Stay out of Tripoli. How do you occupy a city of five million that don't want you there?' That was in '99, and in '03 we went in. I think we did what we could for the Iraqis. Now it's up to them."
National Guard veteran Sekou Toure defended the invasion, "But as far as us leaving there without a stable regime, that was not a good idea," he said. "It went down the drain pretty much. I don't think we accomplished the mission 100 percent because we rushed out of there."

I love today's primer on reading a lace chart but I would like to suggest another lace primer; how to create a lace chart. I recently purchased a pattern from the British mag Woman's Weekly. It's a gorgeous christening blanket, and even though I'm a relatively novice lace knitter, I am attempting to make it. So far so good. The problem is that the pattern does not include a chart. Also, it uses British knitting terms and abbreviations. Very hard to keep track of.
Sure I can figure it all out, but it really would be nice to chart it! I went ahead and created a chart for the border lace because I have to repeat that 40 times so it was worth the effort. But the center of the blanket is another matter altogether. Basically I'll be picking up a lot of stitches from the border and working all four sides toward the middle so every row only gets repeated 4 times, but a section of every row gets repeated anywhere from 33 times to less than that as the stitch count is reduced with every row.
A chart would be very nice, but I've tried to chart this and it doesn't nearly reflect the actual shape of the knitting. It's better than nothing but I'd like to know the right way to do this. I've tried the free chart making software available but they seem to be less than satisfactory. I can't even find lace charting software that's available for sale.
So, how about a lace charting primer on how to translate rows of instruction into a chart?

Miller Park, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
MILWAUKEE -- Ryan Braun picked a good time to break out of his early season slump.
The day before he is to be honored by the Milwaukee Brewers for winning the National League Most Valuable Player award last season, Braun homered, tripled and drove in two runs to lead the Brewers to a 9-4 win over the Colorado Rockies on Saturday night.Braun broke a 0-for-16 slide with his sixth inning home run. He entered the game hitting .245."It definitely good timing and it's something I will be able to enjoy a little more now," he said. "We won today and I finally got a hit."Braun admitted he had been pressing in recent games. During the first four games of the Brewers' homestand, he was 0 for 14."Inevitably, you're going to go through stretches where you don't play well," he said. "You just have to believe in the process, work hard every day and hopefully you come out of it sooner than later."The other key Saturday for the Brewers was the pitching of Marco Estrada, who filled in for Chris Narveson. Narveson was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Friday with a torn left rotator cuff. Estrada, who had a career-high nine strikeouts in five innings, retired 11 of the first 12 hitters he faced.Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said Estrada was very impressive and would remain as the team's fifth starter in Narveson's absence."He did the same thing he did for us last year," Roenicke said. "He put up a lot of innings with a lot of zeroes. His fastball was really good tonight."Estrada said he was nervous before the game, but said he calmed down after striking out the side in the first inning."It felt really good out there especially because we won," he said.Alex Gonzalez added three hits, including a three-run home run, and drove in four runs for the Brewers, who scored their highest run total of the season.Milwaukee broke the game open with six runs in the seventh inning. Rickie Weeks hit a tiebreaking RBI triple off Esmil Rogers (0-1), and Gonzalez connected for a three-run homer after the Rockies intentionally walked Corey Hart to pitch to him.Jose Veras (2-0) pitched a perfect seventh inning to get the win.Troy Tulowitzki hit his second homer of the season to give Colorado a 1-0 lead.Drew Pomeranz also had a strong start for Colorado, striking out six and yielding two runs and two hits in five innings.Pomeranz was perfect through four. But he issued a leadoff walk to Aramis Ramirez in the fifth and Hart followed with a ground-rule double to center. Ramirez scored on a passed ball and Hart scored on Gonzalez's double to give the Brewers a 2-1 lead.The Rockies responded with two in the sixth. Dexter Fowler drove in a run with a fielder's choice and Tulowitzki had an RBI single.Braun lined the second pitch he saw in the bottom half over the wall in center, tying it at 3."Ryan Braun has done that before to a lot of different people," he said. "So that ball gets hit out of the ballpark. I think that's once again like I talked about trying to pitch to these hitters in that part of their order from behind in the count normally doesn't work very well."Pomeranz, who struggled in his first start against Arizona April 15, said he lost his rhythm in the fifth inning."I started pulling my front side a little bit and was missing in to righties, away from lefties," he said. "Just kind of struggled there for a minute to get it all together."Todd Helton hit his fourth homer in the ninth inning for Colorado.Game notes

If the lights go out at your wedding...
As millions of Americans watched the lights go out during last night's Superbowl, I couldn't help but wonder how I would react if that happened at our wedding.
I admit. A bit of worry set in. It didn't last long, but the slightly neurotic, inner-Bridezilla tendencies that I'm trying so hard to suppress began to set in.
As a coping mechanism, I took to the blogosphere to "stalk" stories of couples who dealt with power outages on their wedding day. I learned that many power outages were actually due to inclimate weather, and not electrifying halftime performances put on by Beyoncé. However, for the record, I would happily welcome the lights going out at our reception if Beyoncé came and performed "All the Single Ladies" right before I took my position to throw the bouquet!
But, I digress...
Next, I stopped by the good ol' Farmer's Almanac to research the probability of a classic New England Nor'easter touching down and causing a massive blackout during our reception. A huge sigh of relief came shortly after discovering that the forecast is looking awesome for our day, though my fingers are still crossed.
So, what should you do if the lights go out during your wedding?
If you're a planner like me, I suggest circling back with your vendors and find out how each would handle unexpected situations, including power outages. Check to make sure your venue has back-up generators and candles available. If you plan to hire a DJ, coordinate a time when he/she can go to the venue and take inventory of any additional equipment they might need. Remind your wedding planner to pack flashlights and a backup iPod, just in case.
A power outage is just one of those things that no one can predict. You can prepare as much as possible, but ultimately Mother Nature is in control. As long as you are surrounded by family and friends who love and know you best, you're good. No one will hold it against you, or question your ability to throw a great party!
Just remember to keep calm and marry on. Lights on or off, you'll still be just as married after all is said and done.
Happy Planning!

Notes on Girl, Interrupted by Susanna Kaysen. I ignored this when it came out a few years ago, consigning it to the category of Chick Lit. That was a mistake. The�memoir�focuses on the year and a half during the late 1960s that Kayman spent as a patient at McLean Hospital. She was eighteen when she went in and twenty when she came out, "stabilized" but skeptical of conventional wisdom, a trait that makers her a good writer. There isn't a wasted word in the 168 pages of text. The portraits of her fellow patients — other adolescent girls — are moving and funny, but not sentimental. Kaysen refers in passing to some of the famous people who have passed through McLean — James Taylor, Robert Lowell* — establishing the class affiliation of the patients. She points out that you don't get to stay there unless someone keeps paying the bill each month.
When the�teen-aged�Kayson refuses to consider going to college despite her obvious intelligence and verbal gifts, I found myself reacting with incomprehension until I realized that this was the most radical form of rebellion a young person of her class could engage in, whereas, where I came from, going to college was very often considered a kind of betrayal of one's family. Remember Huck's father berating him for going to school? Something like that. Going to college, I aspired to transcend my class; Kaysen does the same thing by "attending" McLean Hospital.
Kaysen's personal recollections are for the most part objective, with a minimum of interpretation, so that when she does reach for the larger meaning of her madness her observations are grounded in direct experience; furthermore, she rejects easy conceptualization at every turn, refusing to create meaning where she does not see it. This gives the book an unsettling quality that emerges from this rhetoric of negation and refusal. The effect on the reader is a sense of the author's integrity.�Girl, Interrupted presents a fragment of the 1960s. From her genteel madhouse, the young Kaysen looks out on the�assassinations, riots, the hippies & the Yippies, the Vietnam War & Watergate. These details are sketched sparingly, like the distant city in a�Renaissance landscape, but they serve to establish both the cultural and personal context for the story.
*She might also have mentioned Alice James, sister of Henry & William — and perhaps William himself, the records are missing and there is only circumstantial evidence.
2 Responses to "Girl, Interrupted"
I used this Kaysen book (she has one or two others) for my Madness and Society class. My career almost came to a crashing end on two occasions: First, I failed to note the title of one chapter, "The Accidental Blowjob." Second, in the midst of our discussion of the book, one student asked if everyone in class that was taking an SSRI please raise their hand. Before I could I could say anything about the inappropriateness of the question, about 75% of the class had their hands up. It was sure a fun class that aged me considerably.
Hmmm . . . I would have had to raise my hand. Well, SNRI.

New Revised Standard (NRS) | New International Version (NIV) |
10 On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came by the prophet Haggai, saying: | 10 On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Haggai: |
11 Thus says the Lord of hosts: Ask the priests for a ruling: | 11 "This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'Ask the priests what the law says: |
12 If one carries consecrated meat in the fold of one's garment, and with the fold touches bread, or stew, or wine, or oil, or any kind of food, does it become holy? The priests answered, "No." | 12 If a person carries consecrated meat in the fold of his garment, and that fold touches some bread or stew, some wine, oil or other food, does it become consecrated?' " The priests answered, "No." |
13 Then Haggai said, "If one who is unclean by contact with a dead body touches any of these, does it become unclean?" The priests answered, "Yes, it becomes unclean." | 13 Then Haggai said, "If a person defiled by contact with a dead body touches one of these things, does it become defiled?" "Yes," the priests replied, "it becomes defiled." |
14 Haggai then said, So is it with this people, and with this nation before me, says the Lord; and so with every work of their hands; and what they offer there is unclean. | 14 Then Haggai said, " 'So it is with this people and this nation in my sight,' declares the LORD. 'Whatever they do and whatever they offer there is defiled. |
15 But now, consider what will come to pass from this day on. Before a stone was placed upon a stone in the Lord's temple, | 15 " 'Now give careful thought to this from this day on--consider how things were before one stone was laid on another in the LORD's temple. |
16 how did you fare? When one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were but ten; when one came to the wine vat to draw fifty measures, there were but twenty. | 16 When anyone came to a heap of twenty measures, there were only ten. When anyone went to a wine vat to draw fifty measures, there were only twenty. |
17 I struck you and all the products of your toil with blight and mildew and hail; yet you did not return to me, says the Lord. | 17 I struck all the work of your hands with blight, mildew and hail, yet you did not turn to me,' declares the LORD. |
18 Consider from this day on, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month. Since the day that the foundation of the Lord's temple was laid, consider: | 18 'From this day on, from this twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, give careful thought to the day when the foundation of the LORD's temple was laid. Give careful thought: |
19 Is there any seed left in the barn? Do the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree still yield nothing? From this day on I will bless you. | 19 Is there yet any seed left in the barn? Until now, the vine and the fig tree, the pomegranate and the olive tree have not borne fruit. " 'From this day on I will bless you.' " |

Live Pics from the 2012 Geneva Motor Show
One of the auto industrys biggest showcases is happening this week in Switzerland. Here are live shots from the floor of the 2012 Geneva International Motor Show.
By Ben Wojdyla
Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG
Mercedes-Benz wasn't content to leave the brand-spankin' new all-aluminum SL alone, so here's the upgrade: the AMG SL63. The potent 6.2-liter V-8 under the hood snorts out 518 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque. Spinning a 7-speed automatic transmission, this grand touring beast goes from 0-60 mph in a more than adequate 4.5 seconds. Styling upgrades are limited to the front fascia, available wheels, and small rear spoiler.

Alexander McQueen Shows Holographic Alien Beauties for Spring 2010
>> Raquel Zimmermann, who has been missing from the runways all season, finally made an appearance at Alexander McQueen — projected on a screen behind the runway, topless, with a snake writhing around her; she later morphed into an arm-waving sea creature. Two cameras, each mounted on a robotic arm that glided back and forth on the runway, moved over the audience, replacing the video of Raquel on the screen and signaling the start of the show, titled "Plato's Atlantis."
Stiffly sculptural minidresses started out in mirrored snakeprints, moving into owl and insect territory, and finally the aquatic. Hair, which began in cornrows with crimped tufts, ended in two gravity-defying horns, and the hologram catwalk operated on motion-control technology. Some of the white-faced models had prosthetics around their eyes, giving them alien-like bone structure, which took three hours to apply. And if the Fall 2009 Nina Ricci shoes needed an editorial replacement, McQueen has it for Spring 2010 — hoof-like platform booties that Imogen Morris-Clarke says were ten inches high.
The collection, embellished and couture-like as it was, will be reinterpreted to be more wearable for retail, but if the livestream — which couldn't handle all the people who tried to tune in — is any indication (full video can now be seen here), people do love their McQueen spectacles.

Dec. 19 (Bloomberg) -- California-blend gasoline in Los Angeles strengthened to the highest level against futures in more than a month on speculation that work at Valero Energy Corp.'s Wilmington refinery will tighten supplies next month.
Carbob in Los Angeles rose for the third day, increasing 3.25 cents to a premium of 12 cents a gallon versus gasoline futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange at 1:23 p.m. New York time, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That's the largest gap since Nov. 10.
San Antonio-based Valero plans to idle a crude unit and a coker at the 135,000-barrel-a-day Wilmington refinery in Southern California for four weeks beginning next month, according to the company's website. Houston-based ConocoPhillips also shut a products pipeline in Northern California Dec. 17 after flooding from a water main break.
"The pipeline has not been reopened," Romelia Hinojosa, a company spokeswoman in Houston, said in an e-mail. "We do not have an estimated restart time at the moment."
The shut line runs from Conoco's 128,000-barrel-a-day Rodeo refinery to the company's terminal in Richmond, California, Hinojosa said.
Carbob in San Francisco rose 3 cents to a premium of 8.25 cents versus futures, the highest level since Nov. 18.
Dallas-based Alon USA Energy Inc. is working on the hydrocracker at the 70,000-barrel-a-day Bakersfield refinery, which refines vacuum gasoil produced by Alon's two other California refineries in Long Beach and Paramount. The unit will remain offline during the work, Blake Lewis, an external spokesman in Richardson, Texas, said in an e-mail Dec. 16.
Unit to Shut
Alon planned to shut the unit for two weeks this month for "minor revisions" that will allow it to process new crude blends, the company said in a statement last month.
California-blend diesel, known as CARB diesel, in Los Angeles rose for the sixth straight day, by 1 cent to a premium of 1 cent against heating oil futures traded on the Nymex. The same fuel in San Francisco climbed 0.75 cent to a premium of 2.5 cents versus futures.
Conventional, 87-octane gasoline in Portland, Oregon, gained 1 cent to a discount of 1.5 cents to futures.

Carl K. Chapman: Empty promises for Highway 13 rebuilding
Thursday, August 23, 2007
Craig Empty promises for Highway 13 rebuilding
Dear editor,
I've read all of the articles on Highway 13 north and I thought I'd bring folks up to date on the history of that road.
I was a high school student in the mid 1950s, attending what is now the middle school, when the Colorado State Highway Department began the rebuilding job on that highway.
They bragged about how they were going to work on that project every year until it reached the state line.
Here it is 50 years later and for you folks in your 20s and 30s, you might be a little concerned. I won't see it done in my lifetime unless we get some of our money back that's been spent on the Front Range highways.
The last time I went to Denver, I came back by way of Berthoud Pass. To my amazement, all of the fancy brick walks and super wide highways with nice guardrails made it to the summit. When I dropped over the top, the west side was lucky to have a road, let alone guard rails.
Then I realized - Front Range and the Western Slope.
So folks, it'll be years before they do anything here.
Carl K. Chapman
P.S. To all of you good Colorado Republicans who helped vote in this Democratic governor, that was the same as leaving the chicken house door open so the fox could get in. You'll still have chores to do - just with fewer eggs in the basket.
More like this story
Neal Harkner 7 years, 5 months ago
What does the governor's political affiliation have to do with the price of tea in China? The State of Colorado can only contribute so much to road construction. Like it or not a majority of the population lives on the Front Range. They take priority.
The Feds kick in most of the money that's spent on road construction via the Federal Gasoline Tax. Consider this: The Federal Gasoline Tax hasn't been raised since 1993. Coincidentally 1994 was the year Republicans took over the US House, the chamber responsible for crafting tax legislation.
The last highway bill was passed in 2003 when Republicans still controlled both the house and the Senate. The bill contained record amounts of pork, the biggest piece of which was the Alaskan "Bridge to Nowhere," a huge earmark forced into the bill by Sen. Ted Stevens-(R) Alaska. Senator Stevens is currently under investigation by the FBI and the IRS for taking bribes.
If you want the infrastructure maintained correctly and for the lowest cost, the Federal Gas Tax needs to immediately be raised 15 cents a gallon and indexed for inflation. In addition to that the funding process needs to be reformed so that each state gets back EXACTLY what it contributes. For every dollar the state of Texas contributes, they get 88 cents back. Thanks to the Bridge to Nowhere, Alaska received $6 back for every dollar paid in. If a state needs more money than the Feds provide, THEN and ONLY THEN, look into alternative financing. Alaska could EASILY use the oil revenue they generate to build and maintain their infrastructure.
Also the apportioning process needs to be changed to stop doling out money for "wants" over "needs." Highway bills can no longer be held hostage in committee like Senator Stevens did to the 2003 bill.
Either you raise the gas tax or you sell the roads and drive on tollways everywhere you go.

* New skin-healing chemicals
Researchers have made synthetic lipids called pseudoceramides that are involved in skin cell growth and could be used in treating skin diseases in which skin cells grow abnormally.
Ceramides are lipids found in the outermost skin layer called the stratum corneum, which is made of dead skin cells and mainly serves as a physical barrier. Ceramides main biological function is to control how skin cells grow and differentiate a process through which skin cells become specialized.
Scientists have created in the laboratory synthetic ceramides, called pseudoceramides, to treat skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis, a form of eczema characterized by red, flaky and very itchy skin; psoriasis, a disease that causes red scaly patches on the skin; and glucocorticoid-induced epidermal atrophy, in which the skin shrinks due to skin cell loss.
Jeung-Hoon Lee and colleagues have developed a new series of pseudoceramides and examined their effects on skin cells. They found that three pseudoceramides called K6PC-4, K6PC-5, and K6PC-9 significantly increased the amount of proteins produced when skin cells differentiate. These results were obtained both on cultured skin cells and on a reconstituted epidermis. K6PC-4, K6PC-5, and K6PC-9 may be used to treat skin diseases arising from abnormal growth of skin cells, the scientists concluded.

Though I've stayed in Saratoga before, this was the height of the racing season and the prices in town were pretty outrageous. I had passed the Chamber Lane several times before while driving to and from Saratoga. The grounds were always... More

Apple Acknowledges MacDefender

The difference for me is that MacOS/Linux look to be far less susceptable to the virus/drive-by issues that Windows has been plagued with over the years. There's a big difference between running a random app from the internet to get infected, and happening to stumble across a dodgy site exploiting a buffer overrun in IE. It's certainly getting a lot better with Win7, but things like MS's desire to support the huge range of legacy apps on Windows mean that there's likely to be many more security holes to come in the Windows space.
