Conventional wisdom says building a strong brand for a food truck requires creating a cool name for your mobile food business, getting the word out about your truck, and enforcing brand message consistency in all of your future customer interactions.
However, conventional wisdom is wrong. Branding doesn't create, build or strengthen your brand. Your food truck's brand will always be a reflection of the quality of your menu and service. There are really no exceptions to this rule.
To understand why, it's first necessary to define what is part of a food truck's "brand." Most people think a brand consists of exterior elements: the truck's name, it's logo and the tag line.
To get a general understanding of a brand, think about it in the simplest terms. Take yourself as an example, are you just a combination of skin, clothes, and what you say?
Food Truck Brand Marketing
The essence of food truck brand marketing is not your truck's exterior elements, but how your customers feel about your menu items and service.
The purpose of the brand elements is not to create those feelings, but to remind customers of them. If their feelings about your truck are negative, those brand elements simply remind them of how much you dislike the end product being sold from your service window.
The only way to build a strong brand is to create and sell food that delights your customers. If you fail at this basic step, brand marketing is not just a waste of money, but is actively counterproductive to your food truck business since every time someone sees your truck they will be reminded how they disliked the meal or service they last received.
Ultimately, if you want to build a strong food truck brand marketing strategy, put your time and money into creating and selling the best menu items as possible. Once you have invested in this area use additional brand marketing to help spread the word.
A question to food truck owners: How long did it take for you to find the essence of your food truck brand marketing? We'd love to hear from you. Please feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section section below, Tweet us or share them on our Facebook page.

Reading disabilities such as dyslexia, a specific learning disability that affects an individual's ability to process written language, are estimated to affect 15–20% of the general population. Consequently, elementary school teachers encounter students who struggle with inaccurate or slow reading, poor spelling, poor writing, and other language processing difficulties. However, recent evidence may suggest that teacher preparation programs are not providing preservice teachers with information about basic language constructs and other components related to scientifically based reading instruction. As a consequence preservice teachers have not exhibited explicit knowledge of such concepts in previous studies. Few studies have sought to assess preservice teachers' knowledge about dyslexia in conjunction with knowledge of basic language concepts. The purpose of the present study was to examine elementary school preservice teachers' knowledge of basic language constructs and their perceptions and knowledge about dyslexia. Findings from the present study suggest that preservice teachers, on average, are able to display implicit skills related to certain basic language constructs (i.e., syllable counting), but fail to demonstrate explicit knowledge of others (i.e., phonics principles). Also, preservice teachers seem to hold the common misconception that dyslexia is a visual perception deficit rather than a problem with phonological processing. Implications for future research as well as teacher preparation are discussed.

In ch. 5 we install the programs from the fileutils package under /static. As I can see, you have /static/bin in your PATH so, no need to add anything. You must have missed fileutils in ch. 5 (before chroot). Search for 'install' under /static/bin. In ch. 6 we install findutils before fileutils because we already have a static version of them.

Unirea Urziceni v Liverpool: Rafael Benitez confident side have firepower to succeed
Sunday's 0-0 draw at Manchester City meant the Spaniard has presided over just one defeat, a narrow loss at Arsenal, since the humiliating FA Cup defeat at home to Reading, a spell of eight games in which Liverpool have conceded just two goals. As highlighted by the first leg of their Europa League last 32 tie with Unirea Urziceni, their opponents again in Bucharest tonight, though, where Liverpool have grown increasingly impermeable at one end, they have become worrying parsimonious at the other. In those eight games, Liverpool have scored just seven times, while Benitez's side have not scored three goals or more in one match since the 6-1 demolition of Hull in September. Despite those damning statistics, though, Benitez remains confident that his side possess the firepower to ensure an otherwise depressing campaign ends on a high. 'You always want to score more but if you want to improve when you are conceding too many goals, the first thing is to be stronger in defence,' said the Liverpool manager. 'Now the team has more confidence in defence and then we have to go one step forward, to use people with a more offensive mentality, and everything will change. 'It was against Stoke that we had Daniel Agger, Yossi Benayoun, Fabio Aurelio, Glen Johnson and Fernando Torres all missing, all of them offensive players with quality, but now they are coming back, with Glen back in training this week, so we will improve in attack just because of the players [available]. 'At City, we were trying to create chances, even if people said we did not create too much. We had Ryan Babel, a striker, Dirk Kuyt, a striker, Maxi Rodriguez can score goals and Steven Gerrard. We had four players going forward to create and when we put Yossi Benayoun on he was a threat, but we did not pass the ball too well and we were not precise enough. 'But again, we know that because we have Kuyt, Babel, Gerrard and Torres all available we now have more offensive players, so it can be better.'

Egypt's Copts boldly celebrate Christmas despite threat of further attacks
An Egyptian Christian spoke for many attending worship services for Coptic Christmas today, when he said, 'The love of our Lord is stronger than hate.'
Ben Curtis/AP
Coptic Christians celebrated Christmas amid heavy security Friday after the bombing at an Alexandria church on New Year's Eve killed 23 and injured nearly 100.
Security forces filled the streets in front of churches throughout Cairo and prevented vehicles from stopping in front of them as Christians went to Christmas Eve services Thursday night.
In Cairo's Shubra neighborhood, where hundreds of Christians protested for days after the bombing, worshipers said they came to celebrate Christmas despite their fears that they might be targeted again. Jihadi websites had circulated the names and addresses of churches in Egypt and urged followers to attack on Christmas.
"We worry about another attack, but we put our trust in God," said Mary Mishra'y outside a Shubra church. "We would consider it an honor to be martyred like those in Alexandria."
Many echoed her sentiments, and the usually joyful mood was somber as people in dark clothing navigated the security cordon to attend services.
At some churches in Cairo and Alexandria, Muslims attended services or gathered outside Thursday evening to show solidarity with Christians. Prominent Muslims, including President Hosni Mubarak's two sons, attended the service at St. Mark's Cathedral, the seat of the Coptic pope. But at many churches, police were checking national identity cards and allowing only Christians to enter, so Muslims stood outside, some holding signs against terrorism and sectarianism.
In his sermon at St. Mark's, Pope Shenouda III mourned those killed in Alexandria. "I echo President Mubarak's remark that the blood of our sons is not cheap," he said.

Funny Feminists Unite!

Nearly There: A Queer POC Zine
What: Nearly There is a zine project meant to address the serious absence and silencing of stories about the experiences of queer people of color. After years of going to zine fests, libraries, bookstores looking for queer zines and POC zines and finding few to none, after years of existing as a queer woman of color and being sidelined in all those communities, and after years of always hearing about a potential zine project like this waiting for someone else to start it, the time is right for us to begin showcasing and prioritizing our own shit. For those of us who occupy the spaces of both queer and of color (along with all our other identities), this project is about creating an arena where we can listen and be heard, find commonality and difference, and leave a mark in the making of our own queer history and POC history.
Who: Knowing full well that for many of us, terms like queer or LGBTQ+ often do not and cannot truly measure who we are but being limited by the lack of other terms, this project is for, by, and about queer/LGBTQ+ youth of color including those of us who are low-income/working class, 1st/1.5/2nd/3rd generation im/migrants, city based, Mestiz@, Chican@, rural based, bi/multi racial or mixed, undocumented, same-gender-lovin, formerly or currently incarcerated, parents, dark skinned, from any spiritual background, college educated, butch, femme, aggs, street-involved, etc, etc, etc.
Theme: For this first issue, the theme is relatively open and inclusive of any issue, concern, or interest of queer POC. Ideally looking for submissions about in/visibility in queer and POC communities, discourses on coming/being out or not, finding and creating queer POC spaces, and more. Email me with your questions!
Submit: stories, poetry, non-fiction (in any format), drawings, photos, raps, and portraits, rants, quotes, essays, etc.
Send submissions and inquiries to: email@example.com
Deadline: August 1st 2012

Life-saving toddler honoured at awards
Four-year-old Rowan Rychel has received an award at the Lothian and Borders Police Meritorious awards in Edinburgh.
The toddler was just two-years-old when she dialled 999 after her mum, Francesca, lost consciousness and fell to the floor in September 2011.
Rowan spoke to an emergency operator and said, 'My mummy is sleeping and she won't wake up'.
Police officers arrived at their home in Innerleithen and forced their way in.
Francesca was then taken to hospital for treatment.
Award winners have shown 'exceptional courage'
Lothian and Borders Police honour brave public

Poll: Most don't know who speaks for GOP - USATODAY.com A 52% majority of those surveyed couldn't come up with a name when asked to specify "the main person" who speaks for Republicans today. Of those who could, the top response was radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh (13%), followed in order by former vice president Dick Cheney, Arizona Sen. John McCain and former House speaker Newt Gingrich. Former president George W. Bush ranked fifth, at 3%. 4 of the 5 are no longer elected representatives.
They're out of power and someone will emerge. This means less than nothing. The process will take care of itself. By 2012 someone will speak for the Republicans, it could be Gindal or Pawlenty or Romney or Gingrich or someone else. I know one thing, all of those mentioned will speak better than Bush and McCain did.
I agree on your last point for sure... I'm really hoping for Ron Paul...but, the way the party is going....I'd put my money on Romney. But I'm wishing for Palin

Everything! Room was big, clean, staff was nice, breakfast was very good. Location also perfect.
Room was quite large, breakfast was good with a lot of variety, all members of staff were very polite and always willing to help. This hotel is in a perfect location for exploring Madaba and you can get a great (and cheap!) falafel sandwich next door. Awesome value for the price.
Employees & guests were smoking in the lounge, which made the entire lobby/restaurant smell like smoke - kind of a bummer since I booked this hotel because of the non-smoking policy. During my stay the people above me scooted furniture across the floor every morning around 5am. This seemed to happen to other guests on my floor to - this was a MAJOR inconvenience so I recommend asking for a room on the top floor.
Staff were very welcoming and helpful despite our ridiculous arrival time of 0130. Breakfast was excellent and hotel well placed to visit the sites of Madaba.
Customer service was excellent hotel was very clean very organized that reminded me hotels and state I stayed in Donnell Plaza hotelCustomer Service are bad not organized they not clean
Great staff, very good and clean rooms, lovely breakfast and dinner buffet, super location
Wonderful helpful staff. Clean nice room. Tasty breakfast
Driving in Madaba is a nightmare- And the city itself is dirty.
Nice and clean hotel. Good location for exploring Madaba, Amman and Dead Sea. Breakfast is very good.
Great location, easy to walk to all sites, restaurants and shopping. Breakfast buffer was excellent, Try the pound cake. Staff was friendly and helpful. Very clean and modern. Good parking. Good internet. Make that reservation!
Good location, nice staff, room new and clean. Really good value for money!

AUCKLAND - The rumours last week that Yingluck Shinawatra's premiership was under threat caused the sharp fall in Thai stocks last week, said Suranand Vejjajiva, the secretary-general to the Prime Minister's Office.
But Mr Suranand said the rumours - including ones suggesting that Ms Yingluck was set to resign; a substitute premier was being prepared; and a coup was imminent - were not true.
Several rumours were found to have been started by Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) sources, he said.

A book, a book, my kingdom for a book!
Yesterday morning – rain, wind, slight chill in the air – I walked totally wrecked and at snail pace towards the bookshop. Voucher in hand, lots of titles written down on paper, just in case my memory checks out on me again.
For a while now I had been looking at certain books, longing to buy them someday. That day came yesterday. Proud as a turkey all dolled up, I went upstairs to the second-hand part of the shop. As I left the elevator, right in front of my eyes stood Friedrich Nietzsche. Just as proud he looked, and slightly cheaper than me, I ran towards him and took him with me. Although thrice known for having chosen the wrong man, I decided to take a chance on dear Friedrich… you know all that jazz about living a wild life? That time had now arrived. Continue reading

Erin, by Thomas Moore
Erin! the tear and the smile in thine eyes
Blend like the rainbow that hangs in thy skies,
Shining through sorrow's stream,
Saddening through pleasure's beam,
Thy suns with doubtful gleam,
Weep while they rise.
Erin, thy silent tear never shall cease,
Erin, thy languid smile ne'er shall increase,
Till, like the rainbow's light,
Thy various tints unite,
And form in heaven's sight
One arch of peace!
Thomas Moore (28 May 1779 – 25 February 1852)
The imperfection of books
An old book is lying next to me, and it calls me to pick it up and read it. The imperfections of it make me feel as if this book has lived, and that it wants to be cherished for a long time to come. The cover is wrinkled, the pages discoloured and I sense that a lot of time thinking about the content has happened. It is beginning to have that old book scent, the scent only loved by true bibliophiles.
It makes me want to visit my old library again, imperfect because all available space has been filled by other books, yet cherished because I know every corner of the library and what hides in them. The old, creaking seats I used to sit in, to fall under another book's spell. Imperfect yet loved because the books are not completely sorted by the usual Dewey library classification system and I want to start putting them the right way… happy memories of classifying hundreds and hundreds of books, cherishing the fact that each one had a story behind the story. Imperfect yet liked because it was often a lonely place, leaving me time and space to drift away between rows and rows of knowledge. People stay away from libraries these days and choose digital formats instead of the books of old. Imperfection to me will always be the introduction of digital book readers because books still deserve to be cherished, softly handled and looked at with surprise and admiration. Each one of them has been a work of art, hard labour and soft musings of hopes and dreams. Continue reading
Haunting Joyce
Words. Letters strung together to form sentences filled with thoughts, ideas and emotions. I thrive on them, books and communication in general included.
I am a true bibliophile. Did library studies and ended up working in one for about 7 years before moving to Ireland. Books were my life as a kid, a teen, a young adult and they are still my life right now. I cannot begin to guess how many books I have read or how many I handled while working in a library and each one was special.
According to Wikipedia, a bibliophile is someone who "loves to read, admire and collect books, often amassing a large and specialized collection. Bibliophiles do not necessarily want to possess the books they love; an alternative would be to admire them in old libraries." Admire: √. Collect: √. Libraries: √. Now that suits me to a tee!

When You Are Old, by William Butler Yeats
When you are old and gray and full of sleep,
and nodding by the fire, take down this
book and slowly read,
and dream of the soft look your eyes
had once, and of their shadows deep.
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true;
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face.
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead,
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
(William Butler Yeats)

Stunning bookstore in Dublin!
Yesterday, after tons of times walking past it to go to my favourite bookstore in Dublin (Hodges Figgis) in Duke Street, my eyes caught a gem of another bookstore. Cathach Books sells first editions of James Joyce, William Butler Yeats, Oscar Wilde, Samuel Beckett and so many more fantastic Irish authors.
In the window display, a first edition of Ulysses by James Joyce sells at €45000 (approximately $57323,47 or £36099) and if I would ever win the lottery, I would definitely go to the store to buy some of its gems! Now Cathach Books is my favourite bookstore, followed closely of course by Hodges Figgis! Continue reading

Top Performers
UTAH: P. Millsap 20 Pts, 12 Reb, 1 Ast, 3 Stl, 2 Blk
PHX: A. Stoudemire 22 Pts, 20 Reb, 2 Ast
PHOENIX -- Amare Stoudemire was being gracious in saying that all his teammates contributed to Phoenix's victory over the Utah Jazz on Saturday night that ended the Suns' four-game losing streak.
No one produced more than Stoudemire.
The power forward had 22 points and a season-high 20 rebounds, including a career-tying 11 off the offensive boards, in Phoenix's 106-104 victory.
Fast Facts
• Amare Stoudemire scored 22 points and grabbed 20 rebounds, his fourth career 20-plus point, 20-plus rebound game.
• The Suns put an end to a four-game losing streak.
• Phoenix is 10-1 when they score at least 100 points this season.
• Utah dropped to 1-7 when allowing 100 or more points.
-- ESPN research
"Amare was a beast tonight," Phoenix coach Terry Porter said after Stoudemire's fourth 20-20 game of his career.
"Amare was unbelievable, getting all those offensive rebounds," teammate Steve Nash said. "It was beautiful to see. That's something different for us."
The Suns, usually on the short end of the rebounding battle, outrebounded the Jazz 54-37.
Even Utah coach Jerry Sloan acknowledged Stoudemire's domination.
"We had a difficult time keeping him off the offensive boards," he said. "He was terrific on the boards."
Sloan also said the Suns' propensity to get to the foul line in the fourth quarter made a huge difference.
"They shot 18 free throws in the last quarter," Sloan said. "You can't just foul them. We seemed to do that a little when it looked like we had them under control."
With Stoudemire pounding the boards and getting fouled -- he went to the line nine times -- the Suns were able to hold off the stubborn Jazz.
"We definitely wanted this game before our home crowd," Stoudemire said. "We came out with a lot of intensity. I was trying to be the aggressor. We did a good job on the boards and set the tone early. I had my focus on the boards the whole night.
"But everybody chipped in. We all had fun."
In a game that was close throughout, the Suns finally took the lead for good, 100-99, on Boris Diaw's free throw with 1:55 to play. Then, Stoudemire scored on a layup with 41.4 seconds left, and Nash hit two free throws with 20.7 seconds remaining, giving Phoenix a 104-99 lead. Utah's Andrei Kirilenko hit a 3-pointer with 15.5 to go, then Diaw and Matt Barnes each made a foul shot before Utah got the final basket.
Leandro Barbosa came off the bench and led the Suns with 25 points. Shaquille O'Neal, who was in foul trouble throughout the second half, had 15 points and 10 rebounds for Phoenix. Barnes finished with 14 points, and Diaw and Nash with 12 apiece. Nash also had nine assists.
Paul Millsap and C.J. Miles, who hit four of four 3-pointers, topped the Jazz with 20 points each. Kirilenko scored 17 points, Daron Williams had 15 points and 15 assists, and Mehmet Okur had 12 points and 13 rebounds.
Utah, playing without leader scorer Carlos Boozer for the 10th straight game (left quad), capitalized on the Suns' sloppy ballhandling in the first half, scoring 19 points off 11 Phoenix turnovers and forging a 50-50 tie at intermission. In contrast, Utah turned the ball over only nine times, leading to seven Phoenix points.
Even though the Suns shot 52.3 percent from the field (23-for-44) in the first two quarters, they were only 1-for-10 from 3-point range.
It was a back-and-forth half, with the teams exchanging the lead eight times. There also were eight ties. The Jazz got even in the final 1:08 on a layup by Millsap and two jumpers by Williams. At halftime, Utah already had three players in double figures -- Miles and Millsap with 12 points apiece and Williams with 10. Stoudemire led the Suns with 11.
The third period was a copy of the first two, and ended tied at 78.
O'Neal incurred his fourth personal with 6:42 left in the quarter and sat down. But Barbosa picked up the offensive slack for Phoenix, scoring 11 points. Meanwhile, the Jazz kept pace by scoring at will underneath against the Suns' porous interior defense.
O'Neal came back for the start of the fourth period but was tagged with his fifth personal 51 seconds into the quarter and had to leave again. Foul difficulty also hampered the Jazz when Millsap got his fifth with 9:05 remaining and was taken out.
Game notes
Without Boozer, and centers Jarron Collins (inflamed right elbow) and Kyrylo Fesenko (strained lower back), the Jazz already have missed 69 man games -- 24 more than all of last season. ... They lost another player in the first quarter when Brevin Knight was taken to a hospital for a CT scan after hit in the throat. ... Starting the game, the Suns led the league in field-goal percentage and turnovers; only the 1974-75 Portland Trail Blazers have finished a season No. 1 in both categories. ... The Jazz beat the Suns 109-97 in their first meeting this season, even though Williams and Okur did not play. ... Nash had six assists in the first half, enabling him to pass Alvan Adams for second place on the Suns' career assists list with 4,014.

Most translocation efforts by Forest Department have been successful
The Forest Department has embarked upon a challenging task of mitigating animal-human conflicts in the periphery of forest areas by capture and translocation of wildlife responsible for such conflicts. Translocation is the transport and release of wild animals from one location of a forest area to another with emphasis on nuisance- and conflict-control.
The seriousness attached to this task by the department is reflected in the April 24 order from Chief Wildlife Warden V. Gopinathan awarding good service entry to Arun Zachariah, assistant forest veterinary officer of the Wayanad Wildlife Division, in recognition of the key role he plays "by showing exemplary courage and taking considerable risk" while engaged in the translocation programmes.
Mr. Gopinathan told The Hindu that all over the State crop depredation by wild animals was increasing. Tigers and leopards strayed into human habitats, creating panic among people. In Wayanad district such incidents were becoming regular. But many cases had been successfully tackled through translocation, Mr. Gopinathan said.
Neighbours meet
At the initiative of the National Tiger Conservation Authority, top-level forest officers from Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka which share common forest areas had met in April to chart out a strategy for translocation to deal with animal-human conflicts.
New techniques were now used to capture problem wildlife for translocation. "This is now being done secretly so as to avoid intrusion of crowds into the operation area," Mr. Gopinathan said. The presence of crowds hampered the operation and led to casualties. Stating that the dedication shown by Dr. Zachariah deserves to be recognised, Mr. Gopinathan said that two tigers responsible for animal-human conflict in Wayanad this year were captured and translocated to the Thrissur zoo. Three wild tuskers which destroyed crops were also translocated. The translocation programme is being carried out in all forest areas in the State, he said.
Dr. Zachariah told The Hindu that this year 14 leopards responsible for conflict with humans in Wayanad were tranquilised and translocated. During translocation, thrust is given to the presence of a satisfactory prey-base for the big cats.
He said that apart from translocation, the programme also includes rescuing and providing medical treatment to injured endangered wild animals like the tiger. In normal circumstances, injured wild animals have to be left to fend for themselves. But in the case of endangered species, human intervention is necessary.

Vinyl siding stain diagnosis: This article discusses common causes of stains or discoloration found on vinyl building siding. Distinguishing the type of stain found on siding is useful in deciding on the cause and thus the cure or prevention of staining. Dirt from rain splash-up, algae, lichens, mold, moss, or even smoke or chemical stains have different causes and different preventative measures. Shadows, moisture variations that collect or don't collect dust on siding, even roof leaks or air leaks through building walls can often be diagnosed by a close look at wall stain patterns discussed here.

Stains on Vinyl Siding: Algae, Fungus ("Mildew"), Artillery Fungus, Smoke, Dirt, LeaksAs we complain throughout InspectAPedia.com, mildew, a proper subset of the larger family of molds or fungi, does not grow on buildings - mildew grows on living plants. But people often refer to mold growth on surfaces as "mildew" and so product manufacturers selling cleaners intended to remove mold will understandably call them "mildew removers". It's mold - if you care. The photo at above left shows green algae on vinyl siding. Algae may also look black or brown, as may some molds. Small gray or darker round spots on siding that are about 1/16" in individual diameter, particularly if the spots are slightly raised may be artillery fungus - a mold spore. Other larger spots, 1/8" or so but with the same properties may be remaining footprints from vines that were growing on the wall. Algae on building walls: Algae is often confused with mold. In our photo at above left shows a common condition that is found on many types of building siding: green (or brown or black) algae growth. Algae is found on siding that is shaded and stays damp. While algae stains on exterior walls are principally a cosmetic concern and can be cleaned using scrubbing, mild soaps, or more aggressive TSP-substitute cleaners or detergents, there may remain a hidden problem: any building wall that stays damp and shaded may be at higher risk for hidden insect or rot damage. If there is an accessible crawl space or basement below a wall that looks like the one in our photo, that's a good place to look for signs of building leaks, rot, or insect damage. In our photo just above we think these black specs may be a fungal growth. A pen cap is included in the photo for scale. Artillery fungus can produce black specs on a building wall, trim, or other outdoor surfaces. Similar black specs may be found on exterior siding where the attachment points of vines have adhered to the surface. In our photo at above left you are looking at dirt and dust on building siding; that vertical light colored streak shows where water has washed away some of the surface debris. "Is that a problem?" is a common question. Probably not. Look above the water streak for a drain opening that is permitting condensate to drain off from the back side of the building siding ouit onto the siding exterior surface. Such markings may be normal. But extensive water streaks down exterior siding may indeed indicate a wall or roof leak that needs to be tracked down and repaired. Our photo at above right shows that water has been leaking out of this vinyl-clad wall (in winter in a northern climate); further investigation and repair are needed, and there is a risk of hidden rot damage, insect damage, or mold contamination in the wall cavity; I'd also worry that water leaking into the wall cavity may have wet insulation. Advice for Dealing with Algae or Mold on Outside WallsThe black stains on the vinyl siding shown at left may be a fungus or a black agae: by the growth pattern we think this is almost certainly a dark-colored algae. A microscopy lab examination of a sample from this surface would be needed to know for sure. But testing is probably not justified. Where there are apparent "growth" substances on a building exterior wall we offer the following added advice:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)Question: Chalking surface of older vinyl siding - is this normalI am wondering why when I rub my fingers across our siding I come away with my fingers being white. Is this a normal vinyl siding thing or does it mean it has been previously painted or what? I want to clean the siding but would like to know what the white stuff is first. - Anon 8/18/2011 Reply:Anon, Watch out: any older oxidized plastic may have increased in brittleness and be more vulnerable to mechanical damage. Question: I found carpenter ants behind my siding - how do I fix the problemafter i took down insulation i found a lot of carpenter ants ,killed them . investigated more around the house noticed in the garage that there were more took down sheet rock water damaged. j channel cut and holes with wood showing .how do i fix this? - Dale 7/21/12 Reply:Dale you're going to need to follow the water backwards until you've found the leak or water entry point; fix that, and restore the siding; You'll need the "siding hook" siding replacement tool we describe if you're working from the bottom of the wall up. ...
