Simply Fab: Nordstrom Debuts Buy Online, Pick Up in Store
by Fashion
Like us on Facebook
How many times have you ordered something online and waited anxiously and nervously for its arrival? Will it arrive on time? Might it get lost? Ugh, and I hate shipping costs. Nordstrom is one genius retailer because it has debuted a Buy Online, Pick Up In Store program. It's pretty self explanatory; browse as usual, click on "choose a store" to type in your zip code or city, and get a list of the nearest stores you can pick the item up from. I know I will be using this feature, a lot. Now only if all my favorite online retailers followed suit!

Scale 1-1,000,000
My obsession with detail began with maps from a very early age so here is a surviving example from 1983 when I was in the process of creating my very own universe "The Kingdom Of ID" which over the years evolved into something more than just a storybook fantasy.
"The Kingdom Of ID" or "The Chartered Kingdom Of My Soul" (1992 )

Amazing, John. Cartography – real or otherwise – is an art.
I love studying and looking at cartography and the way the typography, the towns and roads form intricate patterns and shapes much like abstract art. Always a pleasure Leny.

Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz is on a mission to change the world, from wages to veterans to communities on the brink of collapse. Now he's steering the company into the brands-as-publishers business, investing in content creation by backing documentaries about the social issues he wants the company to take a stand on.
As Starbucks exits the music business, pulling its point-of-sale CD sales rack and unwinding its Hear Music joint venture, it's getting into video instead of audio—a troubled business that even Starbucks can't fix—with a new video production company.
As yet unnamed, it will focus on TV and film projects with "social-impact content," as the journalist leading the effort for Schultz phrased it on social media.Continue reading...

At its upfront event for TV and digital advertisers this week, Viacom's Nickelodeon, now 35 years old, announced the resurrection of its former Noggin TV brand as a mobile app for preschoolers—and the return of beloved characters Moose A. Moose and Zee D. Bird.
Noggin, the cable channel that was renamed Nick Jr. in 2009 and went off the air in Feb. 2012, is relaunching as a $5.99/month ad-free subscription video service with kid-friendly content.
Coming to the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch on March 5 (download the app here), titles at launch will include: Allegra's Window, Blue's Clues, Blue's Room, Franklin and Friends, Gullah Gullah Island, Little Bear, Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Friends, Ni Hao, Kai-lan, Oswald, Pocoyo, Robot and Monster and The Upside Down Show.
"We are reintroducing the Noggin name with this new mobile service because of its built-in equity with moms and as a signal of the high-quality preschool content that will be curated for it," stated Cyma Zarghami, the recently-promoted president of the Viacom Kids and Family Group.

2015 may well be the year that entrenched cable gate-keepers like Verizon and Comcast lose their audiences to online streaming.
ESPN's entry into streaming is now tipping the scales. The unparalleled reach and scale of Disney's powerhouse sports brand is evident in the fact that the top ten most-viewed programs in cable television history are all ESPN programs—making the Dish Network's new Sling TV the Trojan Horse for the pay TV industry.Continue reading...

CNET, the nearly 20-year-old online news and reviews site, is stepping back to the future with the debut of a print version of its content, CNET Magazine.
Now available in the U.S. and Canada, the inaugural issue features LL Cool J, star of a CBS Television's NCIS: Los Angeles, on the cover. Inside, Roger Cheng's take on the web of complex connections in our digital lives sits alongside a 24-page holiday gift guide. Priced at $5.99, it's available on newsstands as well as in stores including Costco, Target and Walmart.
"The arrival of CNET in print is indicative of a trend: Brands that began digitally are turning every day into #ThrowbackThursday by adding versions in traditional forms," the New York Times commented. Advertisers in the first issue include AT&T, Ford, Gillette, GMC, Hewlett-Packard, HTC, Intel, Lenovo, LG, Porsche, Roku, Salesforce.com, Samsung, TiVo and Toyota.
The print publication joins CNET's growing portfolio of outlets, including a mobile app, YouTube and a Spanish-language website. brandchannel's Sheila Shayon asked Connie Guglielmo, the editor in chief of CNET News who is Co-Editor-in-Chief of the magazine, about why extend into old school media—and why now.Continue reading...

Amazon may be in a PR standoff with the publishing industry that is leaving both sides licking their wounds, but the situation doesn't appear to be hurting Amazon's bottom line. The company's second-quarter revenue will be announced Thursday and the expectation is that it will continue "to gain share from brick-and-mortar retailers," according to at least one observer.
Amazon Prime is one of the main ways Amazon continues to grow since its more than 25 million members on average purchase four times more than non-members. Also helping is its Sunday delivery service, which has recently been expanded to serve 15 cities including New Orleans. When the service kicked off last November, only New York and Los Angeles residents could take part. "Sunday delivery is clearly crossing errands off the weekend to-do list," commented Mike Roth, Amazon's vice president of North America operations, to New Orleans magazine.
As the Seattle Times also notes, anywhere Amazon has two-day delivery, it also has constructed a sorting center that allows the company to get products into the mailstream quickly and as close to the destination as possible. Sunday delivery is expected to see marked expansion in the coming months.
Sunday delivery may prove a big boon for another embattled industry.Continue reading...

At some ungodly hour each morning, your alarm is bound to go off, and if you're like me, you'll blindly slap your phone, eyes still closed, hoping you happen to press "snooze" rather than inadvertently turn it off. Eventually, though, chances are you'll roll over and grab said phone and begin your morning ritual of scrolling through feeds and email. Born was the beauty of a simple business plan: "We read. You Skimm."
Founded by two former producers for NBC News, Danielle Weisberg and Carly Zakin teamed up as the masterminds behind theSkimm, a daily email newsletter that arrives in subscribers' inbox sometime around 6 a.m. that has been featured in NBC's Today Show, Vanity Fair, Forbes, Bloomberg, InStyle, CNN and more.
theSkimm, which turns 2 on Friday, primarily targets Millennial women pressed for time with its bite-sized, gender-neutral news that ranges in topic from politics, sports, entertainment, international affairs, finance and more, all of which is made both relatable and easily digestible through the lens of Weisberg and Zakin's signature voice.

Content is often said to be king, and YouTube knows it. That's why the video giant is heavily investing in new features for its creator community, many of whom make a living off of their online personalities.
YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki announced a slate of new features at Vidcon late last week that could prove especially beneficial to its creators, such as a virtual tip jar that allows viewers to contribute up to $500 to a specific account. The site is also allowing for a direct line between YouTube and crowdfunding sites, and revealed a new mobile app that allows creators to track and manage metrics for their videos, as well as a much larger sound effects library.
"It's a focus of mine to bring more revenue to the YouTube ecosystem," said Wojcicki, who took over the job less than six months ago, according to Variety. She's also spearheading another initiative to make the site more global, including crowdsourcing video translations.Continue reading...

Is it ok to burn pallets?
Would burning pallets in an insert be alright? I have access to some and would like to know if there is anything wrong with doing this. Forgive me if this is a dumb question but I'm new to wood burning and if I don't ask then I won't learn anything. Thanks for any and all comments or advice.
Many pallets are oak. There's a company in Pennsylvania near where my parents live, Treen, that makes pallets, and they use virtually all oak.
I know several people who work in jobs where they have access to a lot of pallets, and they do a lot of their winter heating with them.
They do burn well, the biggest downside I found is dissaembling them. the naild are killers for chain saws etc. and they are put together so securely that I couldn't bust them apart with a sledge. I ended up using a sawzall, but after my first year od burning I quit burning pallets and go strictly with firewood now.
Good tips presented here;
Use a recip.saw(sawzall).
Mix it with the firewood, use it as kindling.
I'll add some pallet wood may be oil soaked so beware of soot.
I too became tired of tearing them apart. I burn pure aged rocky mountain beetle kill pine now.
I would not burn pallets. Many Pre-2005 pallets have been treated with Methyl Bromide prior to exporting (part of phytosanitary regulations before import/export shipping to reduce risk of importing wood diseases and pests from country to country). The Methyl Bromide treated pallets should be disposed of as hazardous waste.
Newer pallets are heat treated, but don't rule out mildicides applied to some pallets.
We burned pallets in our insert in the 1990s and they generated lots of heat. The pallets were not treated with anything and we all survived quite nicely. We just cut up the wood to length and threw it nails and all. The nails were then swept out when we cleaned the ashes out of the stove.
There are a lot of people that are against all woodburning and will tell you about all the nastys that are in wood when burned. The chemicals that are mentioned in the above post won't kill you or your neighbor. So if you have pallets nearby, cut them up and toss them in along with your cordwood. They will burn VERY hot so be sure to mix the wood.
Again we had NO problems with pallets from the local trucking company.
First of all, I cut and burn plenty of firewood so No, I am not against all woodburning.
It is possible to burn wood that has been chemically treated and not see any immediate health effects. Methyl Bromide is a regulated chemical that can have long term adverse effects on your health. I haven't even scratched the surface on mildicides, and the hazard potentials they may have.
Pallets come and go from a lot of places and verifying their origin and treatments may not be easy. If the local trucking company handled any imported pallets or pallets ready for export, then count on it, you handled Methyl Bromide.
You can do with this information as you like. I am sure that the guy down at the "Local Trucking Company" is quite the authority on handling chemically treated wood safely.
If any other readers would like a second opinion check out the link to the government website I attached or just google Methyl Bromide or Methyl Q.
Here is a link that might be useful: Methyl Bromide Facts
I think it might be unwise to burn a regular supply of treated pallets, but the occasional pallet appears ok. A quick reading of the methyl bromide facts link above, points out that foods are treated with the gas form, that it used to be used in fire extinguishers, and to treat buildings that presumably have some humans around.
I wouldn't want to stand on the roof and directly inhale the smoke with or without pallets.
I am unsure of how readily available the pre-2005 Methyl Bromide treated pallets are, because the requirement is now to have pallets heat treated, as MB was phased out for pallets. I am reasonably sure that some of them may still be around though. While I consider MB an issue, the heat treated pallets sound safe. However, after heat treating pallets many companies find that mildew and fungus growth is a problem, so then they take the steps of treating pallets with a mildicide.
I have no idea what chemical they use for mildicides, but this is going to be found on post 2005 pallets.
I have the choice of what I am burning, which is Ash and White Oak. I simply want to make other readers aware of the potential hazards that lie in burning treated wood.
Wayass, you've GOT to go to burningissues.org and post THAT!
That's a group of nutcases that can cite every evil chemical in wood smoke that will eliminate the human race.
I go there to just tweak them and pi## them off.
They are trying to ban all OWBs from the face of the earth.
My neighbor burns pallets (and chainsaws them apart endlessly). The smell is terrible, not fragrant like a campfire at all. I'm worried about chemical fumes and about the safety of the jerry-rigging he's calling duct-work from his garage where the wood stove is to the house. Are there prohibitions/regulations for this kind of activity within city limits?
@cuda71 If you are going to talk like you are an expert on something and then post a link, for crying out loud post a link that actually goes to the issue at hand! Yours did not. What a boob! Secondly what are your fires like? Perhaps an open pit in the middle of your living room? A ventless brick kiln in your dirt floor kitchen for making tortillas? A properly vented wood burning stove that is air tight is the most efficient heating method via combustible fuels. Therefore no products of combustion other than heat escape indoors. The moral of the story here is pull your head out of your smoke and shut the hell up! also a properly sealed stove can be dampened down to burn confetti super slow. Nothing burns hot and fast without O2. Duh!
OK then who's next? N E X T ! ! !

A commenter on ZH, Buck Johnson, has a good take on it.
"Do you guys realize what the EU is attempting to do and what it truly means? They are going to stop any money being wired from out of Cyprus even if Cyprus govt. agrees or disagrees. Essentially making an economic blockade around the country in order to keep the BANKS not the people solvent. This means that they can't allow Cyprus banks and economy to fall because it would trigger the credit default swaps and other financial instruments and since the rest of the system is too leveraged and/or doesn't have the money to pay out even a percent of the swaps, that means it would start a cascade effect of sovereign defaults and bank defaults.
The EU is lying, Cyprus is important. And if you don't believe me, think about this. What country or it's banks wouldn't want the money that is coming out of Cyprus to land in their banks? Their afraid of the tens if not hundred of billions in CDS's that where taken out for Cyprus alone. Which if they default it would be a credit event and the person or institutions who bought those bonds would have to be made whole by the insurance that was paid for on the bonds or the banks that sold it. Those handful of banks don't have the money and the insurance company they used to insure the bonds don't have the money, what does that mean? It means that if AIG (the insurance company that insured many of the worlds bonds and derivative contracts) can't make good on those bonds and such, then all the other insured that may or may not be in trouble around the planet may be suspect and not protected and it would sink the whole hundreds of trillions in derivative market.
That is what they are afraid of and if that goes down it takes the western banking system and economies with it."

Hi fellows, new user here. You can call me psualltheway for short because I know psualltheway05 can be long to type. Anyhow, let's get down to my original question. As I have stated, I do indeed wear Jorts, and proudly. However, lately I have been questioned by loved ones as to why I wear Jorts. My family thinks I look ridiculous with said Jorts on and it makes me furious. I want to wear Jorts but I don't want to be a burden on my family. Then again, I should be able to wear what I want, when I want, am I right? So what should I do, should I continue to Jorts and be a burden on my family or should I wear my Jorts proudly? Thanks for your help in advance.
Me? I'd never wear "cutoffs", that just looks too much like Daisy Dukes. I wear the Carhartt carpenter style denim shorts. Loose fit and reach to my knees. Shorts, t shirt, sandals from May to November in CA.
Now, if my opinion matters, I'd say just don't look like Adam Sandler in "You don't mess with the Zohan", and you will still have e-respect from this stranger on the interwebs.

Serena Williams returns to the WTA Championships with the Wimbledon and U.S. Open titles, plus the Olympic gold medal, yet with no chance of finishing the year as the No. 1 in the world.
Azarenka looks to seal No. 1 spot at WTA finale
Williams has not played since beating top-ranked Victoria Azarenka in the U.S. Open final in September and her sparse schedule is one of the reasons she won't have a chance of overtaking the Belarusian despite dominating the major events in the second half of the year.
Azarenka needs only two wins in the elite, eight-player WTA Championships in Istanbul to end 2012 as No. 1.
Williams and Azarenka have been drawn into the same round-robin group. Play starts Tuesday.
"I don't really care who I play, when I play, as long as I can play," Williams said. "I'm really happy to be here. I'm on the Red side with Victoria, it'll be good."
Angelique Kerber of Germany and Li Na of China complete the Red Group.
French Open champion and second-ranked Maria Sharapova of Russia headlines the White Group, with former Wimbledon champion and last year's winner in Istanbul, Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic, Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland and Sara Errani of Italy completing the bracket.
Since losing to Williams in the U.S. Open final, the last of the year's four Grand Slam tournaments, Azarenka has won 13 straight matches and has held the No. 1 ranking for 34 weeks.
She won the Australian Open in January and five more titles this year.

Wedgewood Church, along with First Christian Church, recently hosted Picturing the Parables of Jesus, a national traveling art exhibit of Christians In The Visual Arts (CIVA). The most repugnant piece for me in the exhibit was Andy Rash's The Pharisee and the Tax Collector.
The reason the piece was so repugnant to me is I find the Pharisee to be so off-putting, so like many modern Christians. In the parable the Pharisee says, "Thank God I'm not like other people — robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector."
I try to be humble and not have feelings of superiority, but there is one area in which I tend to be a self-righteous Pharisee. And that area is Christmas decorating.
Now that Thanksgiving is over Christmas decorations are going up and – and God forgive me, the word "tacky" is not sufficient enough to describe some of the Christmas displays I've seen. Ugly. Hideous. Horrid. Unseemly. Actually, none of those words quite capture what I see. Wish I could think of a word that works but even Pharisee Me can't think of one.
Prayer: God, help Pharisee Me to keep in mind that You don't care about my personal preferences, and that there are more important things in the world to worry about than any of my PP's. Remind me that some of my gay friends who have the decorating gene have criticized my decorating decisions. Amen.

Pixies Give Away 2004 Coachella Recording
By Tom Breihan on October 28, 2010 at 11:20 a.m. EDT
Photo by Shannon McLean
Reunited alt-rock pioneers Pixies are relaunching their website, and to mark the occasion, they're giving away a free live show recording. It's a doozy: The band's triumphant set at Coachella 2004, an early example of the band in post-reunion fighting form. You can download the 20-song, hour-long set at this website, or use the widget below.
Pixies Dedicate Chile Show to Rescued Miners
By Tom Breihan on October 14, 2010 at 12:50 p.m. EDT
Photo by Shannon McLean
Last night, Pixies played Teatro La Cupula in Santiago, their first-ever headlining show in Chile. Famously, it was the very same day that 33 Chilean miners trapped underground for more than two months were dramatically rescued. That led the band to play their longest show ever: 33 songs, one for each miner rescued.
In a press release, frontman Black Francis says, "We were so moved by this story, by how many lives had been affected by this, and how the Chilean people banded together to support what can only be described as a miracle. We wanted to do something to show how affected we were by this, so we played a special set at tonight's show, 33 songs for the 33 miners, the longest set we've ever played as a band. We found out five minutes before we went on stage that all of the miners had safely reached the surface. This was definitely one of the most meaningful show we've ever played."
Below, you can see the show's setlist and a video of Francis introducing the set in Spanish.

Pixies Bring Doolittle Tour Back to U.S.
By Ryan Dombal on June 3, 2010 at 2:45 p.m. EDT
Photo by Shannon McClean
Pitchfork's Mark Richardson wrote the following about Pixies' note-perfect set at last week's Primavera Sound Festival: "If they really are doing it just for the cash, this is one hell of an argument for capitalism." And he's absolutely right.
So it's good news that they're bringing their Doolittle show-- where they play that classic record along with its B-sides-- back to the U.S. for 11 shows this September. As they had been doing on earlier shows on the tour, each gig will be recorded live and sold on CD right after the performance ends at the merch table and at doolittlelive.com.
And if you're interested in hearing some twenty-first century music along with all that anthemic nostalgia, Fuck Buttons will attempt to sear your ears during their opening sets.
Primavera Sound Festival [Friday]
By Pitchfork on May 29, 2010 at 12:40 p.m. EDT
Barcelona's Primavera Sound Festival kicked off its first day with sets from Broken Social Scene, Pavement, the xx, Titus Andronicus, the Books, Fuck Buttons, Moderat, and more, as we reported yesterday.
On Day Two, things got even bigger and better, with sets from Pixies, Wilco [above], Spoon, Panda Bear, Yeasayer, the New Pornographers, Beach House, and Owen Pallett, among others. Check out selected write-ups of some of the night's big sets, plus a few shots from last night below; then head over to our photo book for full photo sets by Shannon McClean and Elisabeth Vitale.
Echo Chamber: Black Francis
By Ryan Dombal on February 18, 2010 at 3:15 p.m. EST
"We're interested in anything that's going to earn us a fair wage. It's not to say it's not about art, but we made that art fucking 20 years ago. So forget the fucking goddamn art. This ain't about the art anymore. I did the arty farty part. Now it's time to talk about the money."
-- A candid Black Francis of the Pixies talks about the possibility of doing shows that rehash songs from early albums like 1987's Come on Pilgrim and 1988's Surfer Rosa. Next thing we know Pavement are in it for the chicks... (via The Quietus)
Black Francis Releases Silent Film Score
By Tom Breihan on February 15, 2010 at 3:35 p.m. EST
In April 2008, Pixies frontman Black Francis performed an original live score for The Golem, Paul Wegener's German Expressionist 1920 silent film, at San Francisco's Castro Theatre. Since then, he's been promising a release of the score as a box set.
Talking to Pitchfork in 2008, he described the release: "It's just a big chunky box. Like one of those, you ever seen one of those Chunky candy bars? You know the ones I'm talking about? They're square and thick and they got raisins in them? I like those. They're kind of fat, squat little candy bars? It's a fat, squat little project."
Well, that fat, squat little project now exists.
Black Francis to Release Sexed-Up New Solo Album, NonStopErotik
By Tom Breihan on January 28, 2010 at 11:55 a.m. EST
Those persistent rumors of a new Pixies album will, once again, have to wait a little longer. On April 13 March 30, frontman Black Francis (aka Frank Black, aka Charles Thompson) will release his charmingly titled solo album NonStopErotik out into the world, via Cooking Vinyl. Francis co-produced the album with former Captain Beefheart sideman and PJ Harvey collaborator Eric Drew Feldman. The LP includes ten original tracks and a cover of the Flying Burrito Brothers' "Wheels".
Judging by the album title, Francis is in a particularly freaky mood this time around. If that wasn't enough of a clue, there's also a song called "When I Go Down on You". Try to get that image out of your head.
In typically confounding fashion, Francis has released a statement explaining some of the, um, inspirations for the album:
Watch: Pixies Play With "Weird Al", Flea
By Ryan Dombal on December 9, 2009 at 6:15 p.m. EST
Last month, we told you that "Weird Al" Yankovic was planning to perform the Doolittle track "I Bleed" with members of the Pixies at L.A.'s Echoplex as part of a benefit show for charity Winston's Village. Well, that shit happened. Al didn't change the song to "I Eat", but he did sorta rip it. And there's good-quality YouTube video proof below the fold. (Via Slicing Up Eyeballs.)
"Weird Al" wasn't the night's only guest. Flea, Tenacious D, OK Go, and Bauhaus's David J all sat in with the Pixies (minus Kim Deal) during the set. (Watch some of those performances below.)

Watch the Pixies on "Fallon"
By Tom Breihan on November 25, 2009 at 1:00 p.m. EST
Lately, the Pixies have been playing their classic album Doolittle on tour to celebrate the LP's 20th anniversary. (One more year before Doolittle can buy brew!) They've also been making the late-night rounds. A few weeks ago, they played "Here Comes Your Man" on "The Tonight Show". And last night, they bashed out album opener "Debaser" on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon". As an online bonus, Fallon held a Twitter contest to see which deep cut the band would play, and "Hey" won.
We've got videos of both below, via Stereogum.

Vidal Sassoon's Massive Bel Air Estate Sells For $16.5 Million
January 1, 2013 12:08 PM
Vidal Sassoon's Bel Air home has sold for a staggering $16.5 million. The estate was originally put on the market for $17.9 million following Sassoon's death from leukemia last year.
The massive pad sits on a sprawling 6,400 square-feet and boasts 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, a lavish living room, media room and huge master suite. The grounds feature a huge swimming pool and large outdoor patio that provide the perfect viewing area to take in the panoramic city views.
The mansion was designed by famed architect Richard Neutra in 1959, and the property has been kept to maintain its fitting retro style.
See more of the gorgeous pad in our gallery below.

A gun manufacturer that has relocated from Connecticut to South Carolina is celebrating its reception in the Palmetto State by issuing a commemorative rifle, according to an exclusive story on the website Breitbart.com.
PTR Industries, which manufactures roller-lock rifles, moved from Bristol, Connecticut to Horry County in late January. John McNamara, a PTR vice-president, told Breitbart News the company lost only 10 days of production during the move.
PTR plans to issue a "commemorative, limited-edition rifle to say thanks to the people of South Carolina for the warm reception we've received," McNamara said.

Help! mice getting at insulation under floors
My place is set on pier blocks. Insulation (fiberglass) is held in place by laths under the floor beams ( was that the right term).
No basement or crawl space..more of a "slide" in space. *sigh*
Any ideas how to keep critters out or from "borrowing" to make their homes?
What kind of barrier could I put on that would deter these pesky critters??
Would tar paper stapled under there be any good or would they just chew right thru?
Sorry if this is wrong form but when looking at list I couldn't see anything for this problem.
Thank you ontario_diyguy from your reply. Much appreciated!
The "laths' are just strips of wood, thin and about an inch wide. I use them on my grnhouse when joining another piece of plastic.
Joists that was the word I was looking for. LOL not beams! Thank-you!
Actually not thought of wire as I wasn't aware there is something that fine.
I had thought of screening (window) til someone burst my bubble and said that those darn mice would chew though that to. Although I am not sure IF they would....?
What kind would I look/ask for?
Nothing like watching a chippy running across the garden with a mouth full of insulation! I can only guess where he got that from, seeing there are no other houses that close to me! lol
I thought that's you meant by "laths". You do have the right term for that...laths are stips of wood. But under your floor, they are not doing much good apart from holding the insulation up there. Another thing I would suggest is stapling a vapour barrier (plastic sheeting) to the joists before the wire mesh. You dont want a lot of moisture getting into the insulation. As for the wire mesh, if you are near a Home Depot or any other DIY store, go in and have a look around. They should have some fine wire mesh that a mouse couldn't get through. Your friend is right about the window screening as to the probability that the mice would chew through it.
Ontario DIYguy
Think I'd be putting some mouse food around.. or traps. Maybe staple and/or tape up if no vapor barrier/ some thicker double sided radiant barrier which is supposed to be rodent resistant - and maybe save you some heat/cool at same time.
sorry for delay in answering, I couldn't log in.
Thank you T.@ GW for responding to my problem so quickly.
Ontario DIYguy
I think I will go with the fine wire mesh.
Please correct if I am wrong, butI don't think that another vapour barrier would be to good under there.?..?
I have VB under my floor to keep out moisure.
Heres the layers from top to bottom. :-)
Plank floor, osb,VB,joists and in between joist is insulation, which the laths are holding in place.
I was planning on sliding in some VB one the ground when finished playing around under there with "mouse/critter barrier". :-)
Thanks for your reply. Again very apprecaited. :-)
"Mouse food" or traps is not good for me outside as I have to many other critters around that might get into it. However I do put it in side IF they make it that far!
Forgive an ignorant question from this new to DIY ole gal, but I am learning quickly, thanks in part to people here.
This radiant barrier, is that to keep out damp or air or?
Radiant Barrier comes with or without perforations. So its design can be used as a vapor barrier or with the perforations it breaths. Double sided reflects heat away from interior during summer and back into interior for winter. Does an extremely good job at reflecting heat.

The Finance Minister has addressed a number of issues in the budget, including some brought up by industry. First, he has boosted investors' confidence by committing to a path of fiscal consolidation. This will restore macroeconomic balance, being about a decline in interest rates and revive the economy. He has also promised to resolve some tax-related issues that have been dogging investors, which will succeed in inviting investors.
Budget 2014-15 augurs well for the domestic economy as it focuses on the medium term rather than short term. Arun Jaitley has talked about fiscal prudence by maintaining inter-generational equity. The proposal of setting up an expenditure management committee is also forward looking. Announcements on the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax and a cautious approach toward retrospective taxes have lived up to people's expectations.
Encouraging investment
Mr. Jaitley has taken several measures to encourage investment such as allowing higher levels of FDI in defence and insurance, among other sectors. Other measures include decrease in the limit for investment allowance on plant and machinery, announcement of several projects in the infrastructure sector and promotion of construction activity. The focus on urbanisation, smart cities and urban transportation is welcome. Industry hopes that the pace of activity in sectors such as ports, roads and power will be stepped up.
It is indeed commendable that despite constraints, the budget has been able to provide funds in a number of critical areas. In particular, the proposal to establish a venture capital fund of Rs. 10,000 crore will support entrepreneurship. Given that MSMEs are critical to the country's industrial output and employment, the decision to review their access to finance is welcome. A higher capital ceiling to define MSMEs would be appropriate for current conditions. The entire ecosystem for small and medium enterprises needs to be improved by reducing regulatory requirements. Developing a better bankruptcy framework would be a step in that direction.
The broad vision of the budget reflects a market-friendly approach to revival of growth and investment
The budget has also taken measures to ease access to long-term finance for the new projects that the government has initiated. Long-term funds raised for financing infrastructure will attract lower regulatory requirements. Public sector banks have for some time been plagued by rising levels of non-performing assets. Together with an effort to revive stressed assets, the budget has also made provisions for recapitalisation of banks. The government is likely to lower its shareholding in public sector banks by selling shares to the public. Incentivising Real Estate Investment Trusts and promoting Infrastructure Investment Trust by providing tax efficient pass through status would infuse more funds in the infrastructure sector and reduce pressure on banking system for funds.
Reviving sentiment in capital markets can help in reviving economic growth by creating better access to finance. The right signals will not only encourage large investors but also households to invest their savings in financial markets. Household savings in financial instruments are expected to increase with measures such as increase in the exemption limit for personal taxation and the investment limit under Section 80C. A spate of issues from public sector entities is also expected to attract savers into financial instruments.
Agriculture and economic growth
Recognising the synergy between agriculture and economic growth as well as tackling inflation, the budget has also provided a strong focus on agricultural and rural development
The broad vision of the budget reflects a market-friendly approach to revival of growth and investment. It is a comprehensive package that addresses concerns in diverse areas.

what to do with a peach roof?
Hi all,
I purchased this as my first home just a year ago. It was built in the 50s which I know compared to some of the homes on this forum, it is still a baby. 2 quick questions
1) Does anyone have any suggestions for paint colors.. particularly given the pink/peach roof. We are at a total loss... the best we can think is a brown/tan color...
2) Out of curiosity, Looking for any possible info on the architecture/style of this home
link here
You would probably get more responses on the Home Decorating forum. House colors tend to be regional and apparently you live somewhere Southern California. You might want to drive around the neighborhood and see what others have done.
You might consider painting the house gray. Someone recently posted a photo of their house painted gray and it looks wonderful. It is on the home decorating forum, I believe. I can't find it but will keep looking.
Not meaning to be smart, but go buy a peach, and find some color cards to match the various shades on it--anything from a very soft buttery yellow to a reddish-peach might look nice.
As to style, I'd say it's a ranch or bungalow. If you are in California, I'm just so glad it's not yet another imitation Spanish or Mediterranean house.
Here is the thread with the photo of the gray houuse
Here is a link that might be useful: Gray house
Yes, green, but I would do a woodsy green, not dark, rather than mint green. I don't think that the roof looks bad at all, just not great with white siding. Change that color and you may be surprised at how good the roof looks! We had light gray roof with a light blue house; the roof looked terrible but it is in good condition. We painted the house a gray-green, painted the trim at the roof line dark gray-purple and the whole roof looks much better. Really!

Lightning, rain take toll on Duluth
DULUTH -- As the sun started to break through the fog and clouds Monday morning, contractors scaled the fire escape on the back of the three-story, red-brick building on East Superior Street.
They were there to survey the damage done by a lightning strike Sunday night that took down the building's chimney and left a hole in the roof at the height of a violent storm — allowing the torrential rainfall to pour inside.

Orange UK Makes The Toshiba TG01 Official, Launches Tomorrow (video)
As predicted, Orange officially announced the TG01 today. They've managed to score the touchscreen handset with the Snapdragon processor as an exclusive, so if you want some of that weird Tosh UI laid upon Windows Mobile 6.1 you'll have to sign a two year contract, but at the very least you'll get it for 'free'. Don't believe me, then hit the video below.

Great location, right in the heart of Hastings Street, Aroma's cafe just outside, short walk across the road to the beach on the other side is the Noosa River and all sorts of water activities. Had a relaxing holiday and the weather was perfect everyday. Water was crystal clear, I have a 13 and 14 year old and they loved body boarding on the waves. Just one criticism is that the spa was not next to the pool, you had to walk to get to it located near the toddler pool.

Apparently, the intervening months were time enough for the Just Us signee to spark up another relationship and watch it deteriorate. Making its world premiere right here on our front page, Cut U Off finds Oddz.N.Endz serving up a synth-drenched beat to back Razah as he dramatically chucks the deuce to his latest girl. While this joint is currently-unattached to any forthcoming project, those feeling it can keep their browsers locked for all the latest from the indie crooner.

Hôtel de la Tremoille
14 Rue de la Tremoille, Paris, France
Neighborhood: 8th Arr. (Champs-Elysées/Madeleine)
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
La Trémoille has been a fixture on the Paris luxury hotel scene since 1883. In 2002 it was re-opened following a complete renovation by Richard Martinet. The restored Haussmannian facade, a historical monument in its own right, is as authentic as ever, while the interior has been updated in an understated yet decidedly contemporary style.
Modern furnishings contrast with period architectural flourishes – the translucent glass reception desk sits beside the wrought iron balustrades of the lobby's grand staircase. The contrast continues upstairs in the guest rooms — thirty-one different decorating schemes set designer light fixtures and contemporary furniture against lush period fabrics.
None of the 93 rooms and suites lack for technological amenities – DVD players, 16/9 cinema displays, free high-speed internet, even wireless keyboards connected to internet TV. The most impressive piece of gadgetry, though, is a decidedly low-tech feature with an ominous name: The Hatch.
The Hatch is not a trapdoor for ejecting unruly guests, or a secret escape route, but an "individual silent butler closet," a private compartment in each room accessible from within by the guest and from the corridor by key-carrying hotel staff. The Hatch enables guests to receive room service without opening the door, or the hotel staff to deliver laundry to guests while they sleep undisturbed.
It would be tempting to take full advantage of the Hatch, and the luxurious house arrest it provides, but to do so would be to miss out on a wonderful restaurant, Le Louis², which despite its name's historical resonances serves an inventive contemporary French cuisine in a stylish dining room and a cozy attached lounge.
Overall the experience is a discreet one — from the small, unassuming lobby to the cozy, intimate restaurant and bar, and even upstairs, where the Hatch provides guests with the ultimate in privacy. It's easy to imagine, then, why such public figures from Orson Welles and Louis Armstrong to the honorary Frenchman Johnny Depp chose La Tremoille as their haunt of choice in Paris.

What I liked:
We always stay here when we visit Paris , location is perfect, close to the the action but lots of nice small restaurants nearby so the feeling is quite cozy, rooms are a little on the small size but they have let us check in at 7am after the long haul flight from asia a couple of times ..
What the hotel could do better:
Nothing; Had a wonderful stay!

The public space of this hotel were great as was the location. The only thing that let it down was the carpet was ready to be replaced and it made the room look a bit shabby. Not what you'd expect for a 5* hotel.
