Old house - not hard wood flooring questions
I know we have other things to do (like repair ceilings!) but we are also starting to think about what to do with our unfinished floors in the house. I don't think we are taking action anytime soon (not before the new year before, probably until summer), but still starting the decision making process.
Upstairs two of the bedrooms were uncovered, and the "dressing room" (former servent or bedroom turned shower room) we removed the 25+ year old vile carpet. All of the floors are about the same. Wide planks with varying size spaces between them. One was left totally unfinished in the center, and the edges have had a serious of treatments. The other rooms the centers had the same treatment but the center was never left unfinished. I say treatment because I do not know exactly what was done to them.
I first thought they had been stained a dark brown, but the more I looked at it (laid on the floor staring intently, taking pictures, touching and chipping away at things) I think they may have been painted "wood colored" a few different times, mostly just around the edges like for a rug of one size one time, and later a different rug...?
So that is in our bedroom. The dark edge is the more "recent" treatment, the lighter stuff in the middle is not the natural wood. Both are chipping away. where you can see natural wood there is step down from the dark wood.
Here you can see the unpainted wood on the right, then the older light brown, and the "newer" dark brown. By new I mean really old! For the past 20-30 years the floors were covered in rugs, before that there is some evidence of fake wood flooring having been put on top (maybe instead of repairing the finish? lol) Behind the dark brown here you can see some green... not sure what that is.
We need to do something in the nearish future - we get frequent splinters in the rooms and the kids like the play on the floor! I love the look of natural wood, but I also like the look of painted wood floors. I don't want to do something irreversible... but it also was historically correct at times to keep plain floors painted....
We do most of the work ourselves on the house. We have never refinished floors, it we were to rent the equipment we would want to do it not room by room... I have no idea when we could MOVE OUT OF THE HOUSE, to refinish it... perhaps for our "summer vacation". Lightly sanding inorder to paint a fresh coat we could do room by room. Also these planks are about 1" thick sitting the floor joists (one plank is able to be pulled up)
My husband is in favor of sanding these down enough to paint now, and if in the future we want to refinish them we would have had to sand through what is already there already. What do you think that finish is? I do think the floors could look lovely as finished wood, but being able to do that might be too far down the road to be practical.... I have seen other homes of this age with the upstairs floors painted white/blue/gray ect.
DOWNSTAIRS - we ripped up 30+ years old vile carpet, found some tile underneath which had no adhesion anywhere (and none when put down), and below that wood. Likely the subfloor. The three formal rooms of the house have a beautiful narrow strip tongue and groove flooring. The room we did this in used to be part of the kitchen and and then part of a small addition. I can see that the flooring here runs under the finished floor, and also is 1" + thick resting on the joists.
I don't know what this room was I used to think bathroom but I am now confused)
this is the former kitchen floor (I think)
Here you can see the line where the addition starts. Both sets of wood dip away from where they meet (on the foundation) and the whole floor undulates a surprising amount (yes we know this means there are some issues with the support, the addition does not have a proper foundation but a crawl space with inadequate piers likely our summer project). We are picking up a rug or two for this room for now (it's our office and I like to lay on the floor when I work) and find the roughness of it charming for now but at some point should probably do something. Our thoughts were maybe new wood flooring on top some years down the road.
So all of that was absurdly long. Mostly I would like some idea on what the finish might be upstairs. Someone commented that is might be thick layers of tinted shellac? So I guess I could do some experiments to determine that? And I guess I am asking for opinions (OMG!) about painting vs. trying to finish the floors upstairs. Not sure if I have any questions about the floor downstairs but if someone wanted to make a suggestion I would take it :)
Don't plan on sanding before painting and then resanding to refinish, you'd be using up two of only the three to four posible sandings you can do to a floor before it needs to be replaced.
I forget how low long you have been in your house? Not long, IIRC. Floors are not your main problem at this stage. If this is your first winter you may be surprised at how wide the gaps between the boards become when the full dryness sets in. A useful thing to do when the cracks are really wide is get them cleaned out. I use old credit cards and other plastic lades and a good vacuum cleaner. Once they are clean - keep up with aggressive cleaning and then once the cracks close again in the summer you can consider some other things to make the floors look nicer. (You want the cracks clean and free of debris which will interfere with some light-duty treatments.
The first thing I'd do is actually wash the floors. Yup, with water and soap (preferraly not Murphy's). Obviously not a lot of water, with very thorough rinsing (I know that's a contradiction but you can rinse with multiple, immediately wiped up applications) and hand drying. You will be shocked at how much dirt is on them. It may raise the grain a bit but don't worry about that. Do this when the cleaned cracks have reclosed and on warm dryish days, vent well.
Also test in inconspicuous places what kind of finish is there now: varnish (soluble in paint thinner) or shellac (soluble in alcohol). Maybe both on the same floor, but different layers.
Once you have studied the floors and the finishes you can think about what to do.
One option maybe removing the old stains from the edges, and lightly sanding/screening.
Painting is forever because you can rarely remove all the paint w/o reducing the thickness irreparably. Staining may be better, but the fact is that without going down to bare wood (and removing all trace of the much-valued patina of old wood) you're likely to have a blotchy floor as different areas will take the stain more or less well.
There are some techniques of screening, lightly sanding and even hand scraping (that's how the floors were smoothed efore the advent of floor machines) that can help rejuvenate old floors. Keep them as possibilities, both for DIY and hired work.
You also must eventually make a decision about the finish. I'm not sure you can find old-fashioned non-poly varnish any more. You can still buy shellac and there's lots to be said for it, although it can't take water. (You can wax it, though.) Meanwhile don't apply paste wax to unfinished floors as that will render them permanently unable to take any poly finishes. The same may be true for simple oil (linseed or citrus) finishes to some degree.
You are ahead of the game in realizing that not all wood floors are hardwood. The old wide board pine, while very hardened by now - and probably originally harder than pine available today - is still a challenge for poly finishes. Maple and oak take poly much better.
Painting is not a bad choice if that's your permanent solution. But it's not good as an interim stage en route to a clear finish because of the extreme difficulty of fully removing it.
If you're getting splinters then going over the floor with a sanding block or sponge may be a good idea, especially after you've washed it.
Sorry I have raised more questions than I've answered, but floors take a lot of study and thought.

Yes you are right we have only been in the house a little while about 6 months. This is not the top thing on our to do list, however it is rather annoying to be always getting splinters simply walking or playing on the floors in our house. So I will give the good washing and sanding block a try. The sanding we would need to do to paint would be very light, just enough to rough up the paint that is there to take paint, not really enough to remove wood.
Regarding the gaps, they do not seem to go away. We moved in in the hot humid summer and still had big gaps. I will go to town cleaning them well though and giving the floors a good going over. If not murphey's oil soap what would you recommend. That is what I always used to use, then I switched to Method's good for wood... but am now pretty keen on simplifying what we use for cleaning supplies and making my own... so yeah.
There is so much conflicting opinions/recommendations on the internet about cleaning wood floors you would think we have not have wood floors around us for long ;) So I really appreciate your comments.
For hand scraping and screening is it the kind of thing that could be done slowly room by room?
My real goal (for the whole house really) is to get a sense of where we want to go on some of these things so that each time we need to make a decision we are moving in the right direction and not making things harder later, and if possible getting us closer to our goal. I realize that is both impossible (we know to be flexible about decisions) and vague. There are immediate issues we need to deal with health & Safety (electrical), winterizing, mechanical ect. but then there are idiosyncrasies of the house which I know will not work for our family long term (these are changes PO have made to the house) so while we are getting use to living in it and dealing with what we need for now we are trying to get a rough sense of where we want to go. It helps make some decisions easier now. Hence the premature obsession about the floors :)
Thank you for your response. The more questions raised is better, I was posting here hoping for more information that I had been able to gather on my own :)
ok i tested a little :) The lighter brown stuff came off with nail polish remover and there are actually two different coats there one simply disolved and wiped away, and one came off a bit with rubbing and was tacky. Then there was the dark brown hard as nail shiny stuff. It maybe dimmed it.
So I am thinking the dark brown is either varnish or paint will look for some paint thinner to test it later.
Only one room is mostly untreated, the rest are covered with varying degrees of chipping of the hard stuff....
and then I spent the day searching for forums for flooring posts and my brain oozed out of my head :)
I realized after I posted that I just added more issues to think about; but you are correct there are tons of info and misinfo out there about floors in general.
Nail polish remover is acetone, and what you removed was probably old-fashioned varnish which I think is soluble in acetone. I'm not sure acetone dissolves shellac - alcohol does that. It's not un common to have multiple different types of old finishes, for various reasons, (You might try some denatured alcohol, or vodka. I use grain alcohol which is the nuts, though sometimes hard to obtain because of laws trying to prevent people from misusing it. I actually have to leave NY and buy mine in VT, by preorder from a State source.)
The cracks you see in August (and still now) are likely the narrow ones! Wait until late March rolls around after a full winter of heating. I can lose Bic pens in some of mine. That's when they are easiest to clean out, though. I wouldn't try anything other than emergency washing until the cracks are clean as there is no point moistening that junk in there. It's important that at the end of the season that the gaps are clean as they begin to swell back up. Dirt and debris trapped in the cracks as they close can compress the edges of the floor board, causing increasing gaps the next season. Of course old houses weren't built when there were effective vacuum cleaners so there's a lot of debris down there.
As to washing: Murphy's has long been a standby, but has also acquired some (perhaps innaccurate) reputation as being hard to fully remove from floors prior to using poly urethane finishes. I will say this: about a decade ago I was visiting Montpelier, Pres. James Madison's plantation, (he was comtemporary pal of Thos. Jefferson) in VA. I happened to be visiting in the off season and got to wander around a bit more than most visitors. I climbed a staircase and encountered the curatorial staff working on an as-yet-unopened-to-the-public room. They were busily at work washing the floor of the room, with you guessed it: Murphy's and water. So if it's good enough for such an important and professionally cared-for house, it's probably good enough for mine.
Otherwise I use Organic Linseed Oil Soap - imported from Sweden, doncha know. I got it from the site that sells the Silent Paint Remover. I find it's an excellent cleaner, smells nice and wasn't particularly expensive since I only use a little at a time. In olden days the floors were sometimes washed with lye, leached out of wood ashes, so I imagine a little Murphy's or Method won't hurt. Floors were also strewn with sand which was then swept up. (That's why you'll likely encounter sand in the cracks even if you're far from the beach.)
Don't try washing unless you have a huge pile of rags on had to handdry the floor off at once.
Yes, hand sanding or scraping is a one-room-at-a-time type project. More so than renting a drum sander. The only catch is how to meld the meeting point of applied finishes at the threshold when the adjacent rooms are not done all at once, if you don't have a raised threshold.
One of the beauties of shellac is that it can be patched up or touched up, or joined together seamlessly anywhere, even in the middle of board in the middle of a room. It's not without its detractions however, the primary one being that it is not bulletproof the way modern poly is. OTOH, should trouble ensue you just clean the surface where the problem is of any wax and dirt and get out a brush and touch it up. It redissolves the old shellac, mixing it with the newly applied stuff and dries so the patch is invisible. Can't say that about any poly finish. You can get it completely off with rags and alcohol and start the whole thing anew if you want. The fix-ability and the reverse-ability have much to recommend it. It is also pretty easily DIY-ish, and cheap.
You can search for more info using Google and here on thsi site. But be forewarned there is a LOT of anti-shellac prejudice out there by floor pros, and some people who are just repeating what someone else said. There are also some excellent reports by people who took the chance on it and are very happy. It is relatively slower to apply and more hands and kness sort of work. Don't try it unless you are in a warm-ish, but mostly unhumid time of year. You need to ventilate the room. It is not the worst stuff for breathing, but not benign either. Shellac itself (though not the carrier) is an organic product made from exudations of a beetle in India.
I'm imagining you might be interested in seeing what can be learned from your floors. Here are two things to look for (get down on your knees with a good flashlight.) Look for little rows of holes running along the floor. The holes will probably close be together but the rows separated by about 21-27 inches apart. This is evidence of an early floor covering called ingrain carpet held down by tacks. Another thing to look for is evidence how the floor was finished originally (and to know if it has ever been sanded by modern methods). Drum and orbital sanders didn't exist, even sand paper as we know it didn't, so very sharp broadknives were used to scrape the floor flat and ready for finishing. If you hold a light at a raking angle in a place where the wouldn't have been much foot traffic, you may be able to see shallow 1/16th to 3/16 ths inch wide grooves on the surface. This are the still-remaining toolmarks of the original floor's finishing, you are looking at the hand-made work of the floor installer. If you can see the undersides of the boads, say y looking up at the first floor from the cellar, you may be able to see the saw pattern, which can tell you if it was made from logs using a hand-powered pit saw, circular saw, etc. This helps nail down the age of the building because of technology of locally available materials is often known pretty accurately.
Have you sorted out which floors are the splintery-est? I have some fir and it has narrow, sharp, fierce splinters. The flat-sawn wide-board pine pretty mellow. Quarter-sawn oak strip is rarely that way. It's not uncommon to find many types of wood in a single house. It's worth learning the correct indentifications of both species and board type (flat, quarter, radial, T&G, butted, lapped, etc.) as sometimes choices of floor finishing techniques are limited by type of wood.
Oh, I forgot to add: the reason I use old credit cards (and similar plastic things) to clean out cracks is that the edges and rounded corners are less damaging to the board sides within the groove than metal implements. Plus all the credit cards that are expired get another round of use if recycled into my floor tool box. Card companies used to send out plastic versions of fake ones they use to try and get you to apply for them. I was in plastic tool heaven, but, alas now the facsimiles are just cardboard.
Another solvent to try is Soygel. It is particularly, though slowly, useful on floors. Leave it covered with plastic wrap for days, if necessary. Let time do the work, rather scraping it yourself. It also cleans up nicely which is something you can't say about most chemical strippers.
All these solvents and the rags used to apply and clean off have the potential for spontaneous combustion. Either air them out on a line for days or dispose of them in a metal, closed container filled with water, and kept outside away from the house.
HTH(elps) more than just adding to the overload.
Here is a link that might be useful: source of Excellent Technical on Info on Care of Old Buildings (NPS Preserv. Briefs)
One way to deal with the splinters, inexpensively and temporarily, is with a floor cloth.
Cut a chunk of canvas dropcloth that covers most of the room, leaving the margins exposed as was traditionally done. Hem or serge the edges.
Paint the cloth as you wish, solid or stenciled or freehand. Tack it down.
This was the old-fashioned way for tenants to deal with poor floors.
Another thing that works well for cleaning out wide cracks is a grout saw, available in the tile dept for a couple of dollars. The 'teeth' are good at breaking up the dirt/grime that's compacted into a solid mass.
I'm another in favor of NOT painting your floor - consider paint permanant. You can always paint over stain but you can't stain over paint. And if you get paint in the cracks, you'll likely have a striped floor if you later decide to resand & stain.

Dispelling Five Myths about Cloud Storage, Retrieval and File Transfer in HealthcareDecember 17, 2014 No Comments
When I speak with healthcare IT leaders about cloud-based data storage, retrieval, and transfer—the responses are often mixed. Some are steadfast believers in the power, scalability and cost-savings afforded by the cloud, having experienced these benefits first-hand with implementations at their own hospital or health system. Others raise questions ranging from security and data ownership to patient protection and affordability.

depth needed for washer
Supernova5271November 19, 2012
I am planning to buy a Samsung washer and Dryer. the two will be stacked in the space. I am having concerns if they will fit in my closet.
The depth of the room is 33".
The appliances have depth of 31.5"
1. I want to make sure how much space does the washer need? is 1.5" enough?
2. I know the gas dryer will need additional 4" for the venting. We have that space but we may need to stack the appliance in a way such that the dryer comes out further than the washer. Is that possible?
would really appreciate help.

Niles residents' electric rates to increasePublished 9:54pm Monday, August 22, 2011
The average Niles utilities customer will see an increase of just a few dollars a month after the Niles City Council approved a 5.9 percent electric rate increase Monday.
But at least one city council member is worried about the effect such an increase will have on local businesses and the potential of drawing more companies to the area.
"My first thought is on the industrial side," said council member Bruce Williams. "We're doing everything we can to get businesses here. How is this helping businesses want to come here?"
Williams, the owner of Williams Do It Best Lumber and Hardware in Niles, said the 5.9 percent increase will be "a huge increase" for his business.
City Administrator Terry Eull said Niles still has "some of the lowest rates in the country" and that rates are increasing everywhere. He also added the first plan was to increase the rate by 6.9 percent but some changes to capital improvements allowed the city to reduce it.
Niles Utilities Department manager J.W. Rossow said the increase is a result of an increase in power supply cost handed down by Indiana Michigan Power. The cost to implement the state-mandated Energy Optimization Act also increased about $100,000 this year.
The rate increase will tack an additional $3.87 a month on the bill of an average residential customer using 600 kilowatt-hours of electricity.
Council member Tim Skalla said the city needs to do a better job "publicizing" its rates in comparison to other municipalities.
"It would make it more palatable," Skalla said.
The resolution to increase the electric rate passed by a 6-1 vote with Pat Gallagher voting no and Bob Durm absent.
Council member Dan VandenHeede brought up the possibility of restoring the Pucker Street dam as a possible way of reducing electric costs.
"It's worth pursuing it," he said. "Suddenly this kind of energy is becoming more competitive."
The city is currently drafting request for proposals (RFPs) for a possible dam restoration project.
Council passes budget
The city council also unanimously passed the 2011-2012 fiscal year budget Monday.
Eull had to make $450,000 in budget reductions, most of which came by loss of employees by attrition. Eliminating all major road repairs in the city cut another $100,000

Bought by my mum to do her hedges, I used it only 3 times from new until I accidently caught a piece of metal fence wire in the blades with it, it cut out and wouldn't restart. Upon closer examination the force of the motor stopping caused the plastic casing of the whole unit to split and the internals to fall out of place, destroying the motor in the process!! Atrocious product design which is typical of modern German engineering... AVOID ALL BOSCH PRODUCTS!!!

We propose an efficient run-time technique to find an optimal parallel execution schedule for partially parallel loops in which synchronizations between iterations are needed to ensure correct program semantics. For efficiency, we combine conventional mark phase and scheduler phase into a single parallel scheduler. The scheduler divides the loop iterations into several chunks then executes the iterations in one chunk in parallel. Our scheme not only runs fast but also achieves an optimal schedule. In addition, an atomic bit-vector operation is introduced to avoid global synchronization overhead and ensure the larger wavefront number is kept when the wavefront number of an iteration will be concurrently updated during scheduling

NATO's Salesman Finds the U.S. Tough Territory
By ELAINE SCIOLINO
Published: November 9, 1997
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8— When Javier Solana, NATO's most senior civilian official, arrived late for a television interview in San Francisco last month, the host was already questioning a stand-in.
The door to the hotel suite was closed. A note pinned to the door read: ''Please do not knock. Taping in session.''
Mr. Solana and his entourage entered anyway. The interviewer told him to stop by ''next time you're in San Francisco'' and continued the taping. Only when the embarrassed stand-in protested was Mr. Solana wired up and asked a few questions.
So it goes for the 55-year-old Spaniard, who commands little notice here despite his emerging role as an important pitchman for why the world's biggest military alliance needs to get bigger.
A physicist with the dark eyes and seductive shrug of a Mastroianni, Mr. Solana is well known in Europe as a clever politician and diplomat. But in his two years as NATO Secretary General he has not exactly become a household name in the United States.
At first glance, he also seems an unlikely choice to help make the case to Congress and the American people for an expanded NATO.
In the early 1980's, he fiercely opposed his country's entry into the alliance -- which his Socialist Party considered part of a plot by the United States to keep its military bases on Spanish soil. (''Only idiots never change their opinions,'' he said later.) He even used to call himself a ''pragmatic Marxist.''
But President Clinton has made expanding NATO the centerpiece of his foreign policy, which he hopes to celebrate with a signing ceremony for three new members at the White House in 1999. So the Administration needs to sell the idea to an indifferent public.
''Sell? I don't know if what I'm doing can be described as sell,'' said Mr. Solana, smiling, as he was driven in a stretch limousine rented by the State Department on his California tour. ''I'm a scientist!''
Try as it might, the Administration has been unable to drum up excitement for its NATO strategy. That has been the case even with help from a man like Mr. Solana, who hugs and kisses ambassadors and even generals, who talks with passion about things like NATO's ''interoperability'' and who has already taken 120 trips since taking up his post to promote what he calls NATO's new global mission.
The State Department was so eager that he get maximum exposure during his speaking tour through California last month that it recommended he pose for pictures at Solana Beach. It also suggested that he tour small towns in the southern United States, campaign style, in a rented bus painted in NATO colors. His staff rejected both ideas.
During Mr. Solana's two-and-a-half day tour of Los Angeles, Irvine, San Francisco and Palo Alto, he was asked, among other things, what NATO would do to stop pollution in Europe, whether NATO would help bring peace to the Middle East and why NATO simply did not save itself a lot of money by disbanding.
Mr. Solana, who has never been invited to a Sunday morning television show, could not get booked on even one radio talk show in California. At his only news conference, in Los Angeles, only three reporters showed up.
When he emerged one morning from the swimming pool at the Irvine Marriott Hotel without room key or identification the hotel staff refused to let him into his room. So he waited patiently in the lobby in his bathing trunks until hotel security arrived.
''Solana is NATO with warm and fuzzy feelings,'' said Charles A. Kupchan, professor of international relations at Georgetown University. ''He puts his arm around your shoulder and holds your hand. He's especially appropriate for the enlargement debate because he makes everyone feel included. But there's this curious gap between the Administration's desire to enlist his support and the fact that nobody wants to pay attention.''
The Clinton Administration's argument that Europe will be a more peaceful place if NATO's border moves eastward has often failed to convince.
George Kennan, the geostrategic giant, has called the decision ''the most fateful error of American policy in the entire post-cold-war era.''
Although more than 60 percent of Americans support the idea of expansion, only 10 percent can name even one of the countries involved (Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic).
Congress, meanwhile, wants to know not only what expansion will do, but also what it will cost.
At a meeting with Mr. Solana and member-countries' ambassadors to NATO at the State Department last week, Jeremy Rosner, the Administration's ''ratification czar,'' acknowledged that the Administration was at least 12 votes short of a two-thirds vote needed for Senate ratification, scheduled for early next year, participants said.
And Mr. Solana is not always on the same wavelength as the United States.
For the Administration, an enlarged NATO is important primarily to improve the alliance's ability to deal with new military threats, like the next Bosnia.
For Mr. Solana, who has served as both Foreign and Culture Minister of Spain, the rationale has more to do with repenting for the injustices of 20th-century history, when half of Europe was swallowed into the Soviet bloc.

The fallout of the salary cap really hurt the AVs both on the ice as well as from a media stand-point. Tugeon and Brisbois for Forsberg and Foote? At that point in time? Please...
I don't think the NHL will survive if there's another blackout, but I do believe an international league could evolve with several countries hosting leagues that offer their best up to an international tourney yearly.
Canada, US, Russia, and whatever you want to break down the other European countries into....
I'm not saying I'd like to see it, but if there is another lockout, I can't see the NHL coming back as we know it. If there is another lockout, I'm going back to college hockey and as my bread and butter. Four years max doesn't give a player a lot a time to break a heart.
I might sound pessimistic, but the owners got their salary cap a few years ago and look what they've done with player salaries since...they simply can't help themselves. GMs and owners acting like GMs are handing out contracts with dollars and years like there is no tomorrow...which I believe will be the future of the NHL if this continues. There will be no tomorrow. Best situation for the NHL would be a no-stoppage deal that includes a "Franchise Player" clause that allows each team one player that does not count against the cap, in addition there should be no guaranteed contracts (imagine a mini-UFA day every Oct 5th when every team releases its final roster) and there should be no penalties to teams poaching RFAs. Either a team matches or they don't...no penalties involved. Make the GMs well, you know...work for a change.

alternative weed barrier?
hi! im currently redoing the 'patio' outside my back door; it was full of pavers which were laid right on the dirt, so there are tons of weeds in between. im pulling them out and putting down gravel and stepping stones, and want to put down a weed barrier first... im a college student, so if you know what i mean, i dont want to spend $20 on the store bought stuff, whats a good alternative? is newspaper good? how about an old sheet? and will water drain through the newspaper when it rains? it gets muddy there, which is part of the reason why im putting down gravel. thanks!
Try lasagna gardening: a layer of newspaper, a layer of compost, a layer of grass, etc. There may be a forum here on it, but if not, you can do a Google search. Rodale press has a book on it; I got a copy in a used book store. I was a college student once--I feel your pain!
Newspapers are a great weed barrier, and, yes, they'll drain just fine. I'd use several layers -- I mean as many as 7-10 -- in an application like this.
Lasagna gardeningalso can use newspapers, but since you're replacing the patio with a different type of patio rather than a garden, I'm afraid that won't help you here.
Cardboard works great!! Use cardboard and then put down some plys of newspaper and cover it with compost and wait until Spring and it will compost the weeds underground. It is also called Sheet Mulching. Worked wonders on my property.
In my back yard I laid down about 20 sheets of newspaper, covered them with topsoil, laid in some rocks that were lying around and planted creeping thyme, elfin thyme, and Irish moss between the rocks. Works great so far and the weeds I did get pulled easily. The thymes and Irish moss are spreading well even though I started with small clumps. HTH
BTW I agree about the lasagna method is great for gardening but not for a place where you want rocks or gravel since the idea is to not grow stuff there. Vinegar is also a great weed killer.
This is very interesting. I might just learn something here that I can pass on to do it yourselfers.
From a professional standpoint, I can't use or recommend something like this.
Both methods do have merits. However, both eventually have to be cleaned up. I've had to clean up beds with actual fabric and newspapers.
In cases where newspapers were used under decorative rock, it was much more a pain to clean up and redo. Mulch, on the other hand, just works itself into the soil along with the newspaper. I can see how this might be good for small areas.
Where a good landscape fabric was used, we simply lift it up intact as a sheet and discard and redo. Notice I said a good fabric. If you use stuff from the home centers, you might as well save your money and use newspaper.
On larger areas, I don't recommend mulch or newspaper. It has been my experience, after cleaning areas of both types of cover, that a professional fabric and stone is your best long term option.
I have used both newspaper and cardboard as a garden mulch successfully. Newspaper is a little bit difficult, since it tends to get blown around the yard. Cardboard works better because it is heavier and larger, so easier to work with. Either one will soak up water and pass it through to the ground. Just dont use the glossy stuff. You can also buy cardboard in rolls for mulching which is easier to lay down and works very well.
I have a wonderful way of getting rid of weeds and sterilizing the soil all at once. I took this from a library book years ago and it works wonders. Also great as a weed barrier. If you have patience, it takes a year for the process to work by itself...but here goes. Take a heavy sheet of plastic (I used an old pool tarp that was going to go in the garbage anyway, but the heavy black plastic weed barrier product will work fine too), lay it all over the area that needs to be de-weeded, lay something really heavy all around the perimeter and in the center to keep the plastic from coming up, and let it go for one year. Everything will have smothered down and all you're left with is soil. You know it's ready because after a year you'll see that there's nothing but dirt and then you know it's ready. After that for our patio, we graded properly, laid new plastic down, set the stones over top and the weeds are extremely minimal. Should have done that 25 years ago but didn't know.
Perennial weeds will come up through the most "professional" of landscape fabric and just become tougher to get rid of because of it. I spend my life trying to get rid of weeds that have come through fabric. Save your money.
Ensure that you don't have pervasive/invasive perennial weeds in the area that you have the patio slabs.
Herbicide will kill weeds in these areas, but will not kill weed seeds.
I have had good weed control in paved areas with the careful use of a Weed Dragon.
Here is a link that might be useful: Weed Dragon
Well, I already have rolls of your typical Home Depot/Ace/Lowes landscaping fabric. Should I throw it out, use it instead of newspaper (if it works technically a margin better), or use it in conjunction with now fewer sheets of news paper?
i'd try this place for good deals on garden fabric.
Here is a link that might be useful: BargainBacker.com
Although I have used Landscape Fabric "weed" barriers I have found that they are more trouble then they are worth since many "weeds" can grow right through them, Dandelion, Plantain, Quack Grass, unless one pulls the fabric up about every three years and cleans the roots growing on that fabric off.
While newspaper, cardboard, or similar materials do sometimes need replacement they are, in my opinion, a better material to use then the fabrics are.

Peplum Faux Wrap Top 15 15
sized too small Not flattering. Sized too small and short, compared to other tops this brand. Order larger than you normally do. March 29, 2015
Pretty top I really like this top but it unfortunately did not fit me right. The peplum seam hit right above the waistband of my slacks and gave a "bulge" which was unattractive. Other than that, the fabric was nice and the colors bright and summery. March 24, 2015
The best Top I have slim hips, not a very big caboose and short waisted. This top is great for me because the ruching and side tie give me more of a waist and the peplum styling helps give me a little shape to my backside. The flamingo color is also lovely. I went back and purchased the black. I would of purchased all the colors but they were out of stock in my size. March 18, 2015
Great top and fits comfy and looks awesome I ordered this top in a medium and it fit me a little snug so I exchanged for a large which fits perfect. This will be a great top to wear with jeans/skirts and even dressy pants. March 17, 2015

Manny Ramirez, Joe Maddon talk
BOSTON -- Slugger Manny Ramirez has spoken to Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon since retiring while facing a 100-game drug ban, but stopped short of apologizing for his abrupt departure.
"He was disappointed in himself, but he was also very kind to the organization," Maddon said Monday.
"He just said he was disappointed. He didn't apologize. I wasn't looking for an apology necessarily. I wasn't. He spoke to me kind of like, man to man, person to person, manager to player. So I didn't think he owed me an apology."
Maddon did not say when the conversation with Ramirez took place. Ramirez walked away last Friday after testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug. He previously served a 50-game ban for violating the drug policy.
As for Ramirez's drug involvement, "you'd have to take that up with him," Maddon said.
"We had a good camp, very good camp. I was looking forward to working with him," he said.
Tampa Bay broke out of an early slump with a 16-5 win over the Boston Red Sox on Monday night. The AL East champions sport a 2-8 record that is tied for the worst in the majors.

3 of 4 - God is Powerful - He Cannot Be Intimidated - Billy Crone - Ministry Videos
Embed bcrone1 3646 views 2008-03-17T00:00:00 Danger! Danger! The alarm has been sounded! The American Church is under attack! The Body of Christ has been fallen under a horrible epidemic where believers in God no longer believe in God! People, believe it or not, we now have Churches full of people who are living like practical atheists. Oh, we say we believe in God, but most of the time we act like He's not there. How? By our lips and by our lives. And this is not only detrimental in our walk with God, it keeps others from believing in God. Therefore, to avoid this irony of Christians living like a practical atheists, this series, God is Powerful, reveals that we know that God is Powerful by His Display of Creation, Demonstration of Miracles, Destroying the Works of satan, and by His Defeating of Death. Then we see what God's Power is like in that There's Nothing He Cannot Do and There's nothing that Can Intimidate Him. And finally, we see What God's Power Can Do for You. People this is the awesome message we have the privilege to tell to the nations, God not only exists, but through Jesus Christ, people really can have an intimate personal relationship with the Creator of the universe! But I'm telling you, if the world is ever going to believe our message, then you and I must stop acting like practical atheists and start demonstrating by our lips as well as our lives that God is Powerful.

I'm a noob (longtime lurker), I just wanted to ask the following question: I've been a longtime Windows Phone user and I'm thinking about making the jump to Android.
I was thinking of using the device as an all in one productivity device, with a dock connecting the phone to a monitor, such as this one:
EDIT: Can't post links due to Noobishness, so its the "Aerb® 3in1 Smart Multimedia HDMI Dock Station Desktop Charger Charging Data Transfer & Sync OTG for Samsung Galaxy S4 Galaxy Note 2 Galaxy Note 3"
Now, while the hardware looks great, the implementation seems... clunky at times, but the old WebTop mode from the old Motorola Atrix line seems well suited to something like this.
SO, my question:
Has anyone pulled the WebTop mode from the Atrix lineup and make it available to all Android devices? I saw a story saying that they had gotten it to work over all HDMI connections, so all it would need is some optimizations to work on Android 4.4.2+ devices.

Citadel Pacific 2014 Enhances Security, Readiness on Guam Installations
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Story Number: NNS140829-14Release Date: 8/29/2014 7:26:00 AM
By JoAnna Delfin, Joint Region Marianas Public Affairs
ASAN, Guam (NNS) -- Navy and Air Force service members and personnel throughout the U.S. Pacific Command area of responsibility including Guam tested their anti-terrorism plans and response during Exercise Citadel Pacific 2014 (CP 14) from Aug. 25-29.
Joint Region Marianas (JRM), U.S. Naval Base Guam, Andersen Air Force Base, U.S. Naval Hospital (USNH) Guam and USS Oklahoma City (SSN 723) participated in the annual exercise to enhance the training and readiness of security forces to respond to threats to the installation and units.
"It's to prepare us for real-world type events and these scenarios here were based on incidents that have happened in the past," said JRM Security Officer Gregory Jacobs. "The focus will be to train our personnel to ensure that they can respond accordingly and they can take appropriate actions."
During the exercise, a simulated active-shooter event was held at the JRM headquarters where three individuals were pronounced dead at the scene and seven others severely wounded and transported to USNH Guam. Hospital Commanding Officer Capt. Jeannie Comlish said the mass casualty drill held in response to the simulated active-shooter incident was an excellent opportunity for her staff to test their readiness and response in the new facility.
"This is our first opportunity to really test the building and test how our staff work within in the building to flow patients to the places they need to go," she said. "We are clinically ready. We have an excellent staff and our clinical skills are outstanding, and we're here to take care of patients and provide that exceptional care."
Comlish added the exercise not only assessed the response of everyone involved but the partnership between different commands and agencies.
"I think that practicing and drilling and working together at times when it's not a reality... helps all of us for a time when disasters catch us off guard," she said. "They identify what we're doing really well and how we can communicate as partnership in a community."

When Kanye West debuted "Black Skinhead" on "Saturday Night Live" in May, it sure sounded like the track was sampling Marilyn Manson's 1996 hit "The Beautiful People." So when Yeezus came out a month later, plenty of people were surprised (shocked! you might even say) that (according to the production credits, at least) Manson's song hadn't been used.

HoopsHype Charlotte Hornets rumors
Roster | Salaries | On Twitter | Twitters | Instagram
The Charlotte Hornets and Minnesota Timberwolves are close to agreement on a trade involving Mo Williams and Troy Daniels for Gary Neal, league sources tell RealGM. Williams and Daniels will go to the Hornets, while Neal will be traded to the Wolves. RealGM
Adrian Wojnarowski: Minnesota is close to sending Mo Williams to Charlotte in a deal for Gary Neal and a future pick, league source tells Yahoo. Twitter @WojYahooNBA
Dwayne "Tiny" Morton has been spotted on the sidelines of a handful of games this season to watch his former team — the Lincoln Railsplitters, and was spotted again during Friday night's win against Jefferson. The first-year assistant coach at Seton Hall said that he's heard the trade rumors connecting his former player, Lance Stephenson, to the Brooklyn Nets. He seemed excited by the idea and brushed off concerns that Stephenson could get himself into trouble playing back at home. "He's been in the NBA for a couple of years now and if he can't manage playing at home then he doesn't belong in the NBA," Morton said. "So I don't think Lance will have a problem playing at home. I think that he would love to play in Brooklyn." Brooklyn Daily Eagle
"I just hope that if it happens that his team is good enough that it can win," he said. "He doesn't want to come home and lose. That's a bad situation right there...I'm not in the NBA so I don't know, but if he loses it's too much, it doesn't matter who you are, it's going to be a tough situation for anyone." Brooklyn Daily Eagle
Officially reintroducing the Marbury Mid is Charlotte Hornets guard Lance Stephenson, who's been playing in the original White/Navy colorway. Last October, Stephenson told us that the Marbury was one of the AND1 shoes he wanted to see retroed. "I want the Sprewells to come back out. I want the Stephon Marburys to come back out," said Stephenson. "I try to tell them give me all of them in different colorways." Sole Collector
Darren Wolfson: @Adrian Wojnarowski had Charlotte pursuing PGs recently. I'd add them to the Mo W. list. Still think Mo's going somewhere. Nothing close. #twolves Twitter @DarrenWolfson
Adrian Wojnarowski: Sources: Charlotte had discussions on deal to acquire guards Mo Williams and Troy Daniels, but talks with Minnesota stalled in recent days. Twitter @WojYahooNBA
Axelrod stuffs his hands in the pockets of his blazer and walks the short block back to the Institute of Politics. Inside, the floors are covered in the salt stains of a hundred student boots. The institute, which hosts an impressive slate of speakers from both parties, including, in April, Mitt Romney, is something of an ad hoc museum, filled with Axelrod's collection of American political artifacts. In the front hall is a glass-encased ballot box from the Florida 2000 presidential election. There's also a napkin signed by JFK, a letter from the newly elected Abraham Lincoln to the Chicago mayor's son, and a signed poster of Michael Jordan. "When the president turned 50, I wanted to get him something special … so I sent it to Jordan to have him sign it for me." In black Sharpie, Jordan scrawled, "To Barrack: you still owe me dinner. Wishing you well, Michael Jordan." "I gave it to the president, and he said, 'I can't put this up, he misspelled my name!' So I said, 'Fine, I'll take it.' " His own office is a special exhibit dedicated to his time in politics — a program from a State of the Union speech, a ticket to the Nobel Prize ceremony, an invite to Obama's swearing-in as senator, with the words HERE BECAUSE OF YOU! written in the president's script. New York Magazine
Rick Bonnell: MKG has a mild hamstring strain. Will definitely miss next two games. Twitter @rick_bonnell
Ewing's pursuit of an NBA head coaching job has yielded only two interviews in 13 years, but he remains committed to chasing it — just like his long and ultimately fruitless quest for a championship ring. "I'd like the opportunity to succeed or fail like everybody else. I can't sit around and boo-hoo, 'They won't give me an opportunity,' " Ewing said. "I just keep working and keep grinding and whenever my name is called or somebody decides to give me that call, I just want to make sure I'm ready." Washington Post
Ewing has been tasked with working with big men and had success while helping Yao Ming, Dwight Howard and Jefferson enjoy the most success of their careers, but he resents being deemed a specialist. "That's one thing I didn't want to be, is to be pigeonholed into being a big man's coach. I'm a coach," Ewing said. "Even though the center position is the position that I played, I know I lot about it, but this is not brain surgery. It's basketball. Talking to a guard or forward or center and telling them what I see, that's what I do." Washington Post
Marc Stein: A footnote on Charlotte's recent moves: Hearing Hornets have not ruled out bringing Jannero Pargo back once his current back injury heals Twitter @ESPNSteinLine
Kidd-Gilchrist is rummaging through his backpack on the 14th floor of the JW Marriott in downtown Los Angeles, searching for a DVD of The Lion King, which he carries almost everywhere he goes. His earliest memories are of watching the movie with his father, Michael Gilchrist Sr. He was Simba. His dad was Mufasa. They bought the stuffed animals. They recited the lines. In August 1996, a month before the boy's third birthday, Michael Sr. was shot and killed in a still-unsolved murder on the east side of Camden, N.J. Michael says he remembers the last time they were together. "We were in bed," he says, "watching The Lion King." At the funeral, he slid the Simba doll into the casket. Sports Illustrated
Cindy was not Catholic, but she entered Michael in grief counseling with a Camden nun named Helen Cole. "I'd see her every week," Kidd-Gilchrist recalls, "and I could talk to her about anything. She became like my second mom." Sister Cole taught him that help was always available, as long as a person was humble enough and courageous enough to accept it. In first grade Michael was diagnosed with cognitive learning disabilities, and in second he started seeing a speech therapist for the stutter he had developed as a toddler. "God has blessed Michael with a gift," a school administrator told Cindy. "Help him discover what that gift is." Sports Illustrated
Everyone approached with advice or criticism. He saved the snarkiest tweets for motivation. Coach Steve Clifford called Kidd-Gilchrist into his office and highlighted all his strengths, but that didn't help. "A lot of guys only see the good in what they do," Clifford says. "He is the opposite." Sports Illustrated
Several teams hired Price as a shooting consultant or player development coach, but in 2013 the Hornets made him a full-time assistant. His first project was Kidd-Gilchrist. "Good luck," another coach told him. "You can't fix that." Price accepted the job on one condition: "Nobody tells Michael Kidd-Gilchrist anything about his shot but me." Price suggested subtle alterations throughout last season, but the stroke required massive reconstruction, and that demanded months of dedicated training. Sports Illustrated
When Jefferson returned to Charlotte last August, he watched Kidd-Gilchrist take aim. "Damn," Jefferson gushed, "that looks good." Kidd-Gilchrist could not remember the last time someone said something genuinely nice about his J. "Really?" he asked. "I mean, for real? It looks good?" Price won't go quite that far. "It looks… normal," he says, the implication being that normal in this case is remarkable. When Kidd-Gilchrist's form was first broadcast in training camp, via the Hornets' Instagram account, he called his mom. "Did you see it?" he hollered. "You've got to see it." Sports Illustrated
There's no sugarcoating it: It's a bad list where star power is pretty much non-existent. Gerald Wallace, the only All-Star in franchise history, goes to No. 1.

Devin Rothrock of Arvada West leads last Colorado state wrestling matches
Here's some information on the final four wrestling matches of Saturday night for Class 5A from the Pepsi Center.
There was snow, we had early deadlines and the matches ran late …
In a word, Devin Rothrock was awesome. Arvada West's 220-pounder pinned Tyler Zook in 1 minute, 10 seconds, to take his second consecutive state championship. In 2014, Rothrock won the title at 195.
It was typical Rothrock on Saturday — he pinned his way through the bracket, winning four matches in a combined 5:49, or 11 seconds less than the time for a regulation bout. His preliminary-round effort results in a pin in 17 seconds, of Pine Creek's Jeremie Medina.

Respond to Review of Curry in a Hurry
by taiaikens
Review: I'm a college student attending A&M and ever since I got my car I've been making it to this place sense I had their Curried Veggie Fish snack box, I promise you I cant get enough of it. You have to get the combo with the rice and peas and cabbage with side salad and some cocoa bread. If you don't want the full meal you can always get a snack box (very good on proportions for the price) and then there are always the patties. I prefer the curry veggie patty.

24 January 1962: The McDonnell Aircraft Corporation delivered the first F-110A Spectre to Colonel Gordon Graham and Colonel George Laven, United States Air Force, at the McDonnell plant at St. Louis, Missouri. The F-110A was soon redesignated as the F-4C Phantom II.
Two Phantoms were delivered to the Air Force for evaluation at Langley Field, Virginia. They were U.S. Navy F4H-1 Phantom IIs, Bureau of Aeronautics serial numbers 149405 and 149406. Initially the aircraft retained the Navy serial numbers but eventually were assigned Air Force numbers 62-12168 and 62-12169.
McDonnell built 5,057 Phantom IIs. They served with the United States Navy and Marine Corps, the U.S. Air Force, and many allied nations. The last Phantom II, an F-4E, was completed 25 October 1979. The U.S. Air Force retired its last operational Phantoms from service 20 December 2004, 42 years, 10 months, 27 days after receiving the first F-110A.
