Impact Window Brands- need your feedback
Hey Folks,
I'm about to take the dive on some impact windows (thanks to a My safe florida home grant).... need some advice on what brand to go with.... I've read a ton of posts on here but get a bit overwhelmed with the technical jargon.... I've gotten quotes on ES Windows, Lawson, and PGT.... which one should I go with??? Or None of the above? Thanks in advice...
Feel free to be jaded and opinionated.... if you think something is junk, I'd rather know about!
I had 23 windows replaced 2 months ago with PGT Winguard and I'm happy with them, even more so now that Tropical Storm Fay is here. They cost around $21,000 installed. I live near Ft Lauderdale and had them installed by East Coast Windows and Doors. They were very professional and did a good job. The PGT website is awful however and darn near useless, so the sales people at East Coast were crucial.
I have a combination of casement, fixed panel, sliding and even a couple single hung. They are VERY solid and make a big difference in the noise from outside. Also, despite being non-thermally broken aluminum frames my electric bill has gone down meaningfully, though that may be more a sign of just how crappy my old windows were.
On the front of the house I had the wood-grained look installed (large casements with Brittany muntins) and they're pretty convincing unless you get right up on top of them. They all crank/slide/raise well, but they're only 2 months old. I was happy to kiss my hurricane panels good-buy.
I had also looked at Simonton (didn't like the distributor at all), Pella and CGI. I almost went with CGI, which were really beautiful but would have cost about $7K more. I had qualms about the Pellas due to customer service complaints I've read about here and again, I didn't like their local distributor/installer.
In fact, the one thing I really learned from this process is that you can love the window but a particular brand may only have one or two companies locally who carry it, and if they don't seem up to par or get bad reviews when you do your due diligence you can forget about it for replacements. I really wish window manufacturers had more of a role in the sales/installation end of things but they don't. Some of the window installation companies made used-car salesmen look good.
In Dade County, we chose CGI aluminum casement hurricane windows. We love them and did not find them to be too much more expensive than a PGT estimate.
Hi Everyone,
First and foremost thank you very much for all of the information thus far. Very enlightening. I have done my home work and have gotten quite a few quotes but wanted to get everyone's opinion on the following. We have narrowed it down to 2 different companies, they are essentially coming in at the same price. However one company is quoting ES Windows (7/16" Impact Glass, Stainless Steel Hardware, Screens included). The other company is quoting both PGT for the 3 larger Horizontal Rollers and ECO for the 2 smaller Rollers. Also once again both of those are quoted based on 7/16" Impact Glass, Stainless Steel Hardware & Screen included as well. Each company seems be providing the same service and the same guarantees. My question is mainly how do I decide on the better option. Since I have done everything I can to make sure that I am comparing apples to apples, I am more curious if you guys would suggest going with the combo of (ECO & PGT, both manufactured here in Florida) or (ES windows, which is a company out of Colombia I believe). Being completely open the two companies that I am evaluating currently are Impact Windows & Doors versus Florida Impact. Any assistance in helping me make this confusing decision would be greatly appreciated! Hope that you are all having a very happy Thanksgiving as well! Thanks everyone.
I don't know the ES Window that well and certainly not as compared to the PGT.
That doesn't mean that it isn't good or possibly even superior.
What sort of feedback did you get from the two companies and have you compared installation options?
Research done on the companies?
Have you looked at any other options? There are many dealers with showrooms here in Broward County where you can compare brands. Home Depot and Lowes also have fairly decent selection of impact doors and windows.

Granite Help
Finalizing my granite choice want to get some advice. Previous post helped alot. Pics of kitchen and granite. Open to others.
They're all pretty. I like #3 for the color options it'll give. It seems the most balance between the different tones that could be brought in. Though I'm also biased towards lighter counters.
ETA: Thinking about it, it's also (the way my mind works) the safest, which may not be the most important thing to you. I'm not good at mixing colors. I have DH for that.
This post was edited by cal_quail on Sun, Aug 3, 14 at 9:30
I also like #3 the best, but then I like lighter colors and less movement. Personally, I also think that there will be a trend towards less movement in counters, but that's a different story.
2 seems too much of that browny yellow, 4 has yet another large color, the grayish block. 1 is nice, but has a completely different pattern (I guess I like more flowy lines).
So, I'd say 3, followed by 1.
Actually, I think a new thread is appropriate, since there were sooo many options presented in the last one. This one has it narrowed down to only a few more appropriate options.
I don't remember seeing #1 before, but I love it! Followed by #3. had I not seen that first one I would have backed up my original pick of THIS number three.
BUT, take in your cabinets and, if you can, tile samples in person to the yard(s). Again, photos can only take you so far, real life is often drastically different.
With #1 you're right back there with paisley shirt and plaid pants again. Don't make me call Linelle!
I would go for #3 for a color match, though I'm not crazy of the brown blob in the middle. Maybe they can template around it. There's some pretty blue areas and lines. It'd be nice to see a straight shot of it or post the website photo if available.
Have you thought about backsplash? Looking forward to that discussion! lol

I got a call from a woman who had put mostly white granite throughout her home. She loved her choice, but was noticing orange spots becoming more and more pronounced. This isn't the first customer I've had to tell that the objectionable marks in their stone are natural and in most cases, there is nothing that can be done cost effectively.
I think 5 is good for an island, but how is that templated for 24" counters? It looks like three different stones in one.
Trebuchet doesn't know that that particular granite is oxidized. "Looks like" and "probably" are opinions. Talk to the granite people about your concerns.
"Trebuchet doesn't know that that particular granite is oxidized. "Looks like" and "probably" are opinions. Talk to the granite people about your concerns."
Fair enough. I do the best I can looking at pictures on a laptop screen, however, unlike the granite people, I stand to profit nothing, no matter the selection.
I think it's good you brought it up, but the manner is a little panic-inducing when he's down to the wire in finding a granite.
I know some people have had it happen in bathrooms tiled in cheap (and the other C word) marble because of lead content in the stone. I have never seen it mentioned here that granites can oxidize. I suppose you'd need the composition of the granite to know whether it has iron in it.
Here is some more information.
Here is a link that might be useful: oxidation of granite
in theory number 3 is your best bet with the floors but honestly once your granite is in, who really notices the floors?! i was convinced that my existing flooring would clash badly with the new cabs but i had plans to change it out (floating floor) now after living with it for months, i really think it looks fine and no one has commented otherwise and i have some pretty blunt people in my family!
go with what speaks to you. you have to see it every day! i spent more than i wanted to get a stone i thought was beautiful and it encourages me to keep it clean so i can see all the funky parts(has lots of variation) so with that said i vote for the last one because it is a work of art and not a commonly found stone. if you love it, then looking at it daily will make you smile:)
that last stone is incredible! I'd change my floors for it...
I do think it'd be best on an island with a very plain perimeter counter top.
oh wait... I don't even like granite counters! ok, just hang it on a wall!
otherwise, I think 3 is the best option shown with your floors.
Of course you will see your floor. If a space blends seamlessly and the floor is not a dominant feature for some reason, maybe not, but if you put a counter in that clashes with it, the floor will become more obvious, not less.
If you're getting #5, get an idea of how the counters will lay out when it's chopped up.
It would be a shame to lose the overall beauty and effect of that slab on perimeters too.
someone on this board has it, possibly MGMum? or fishymom? if you search for magna gold on gw maybe it will come up.
it is amazing, for sure. it is much darker than your other pics though so a totally different look. how is your lighting? i ask because mine is terrible which is why i went lighter granite with dark cabs but i originally wanted dark counters. they seem more sturdy to me. mine has lots of mica flecks and after the fact i found out that mica flecks can be a weak point in the stone:(
Oh I like the magna gold! It must be my monitor because the cabinets look like they have rich red undertones and the first several choices (while absolutely LOVELY) look yellow. Seems almost like the colors are coming from different places.
I think the magna gold is a serious statement item. I like it.
Seems we're only talking about "like" now, so my favorite granite in this thread is the first one. If the floor doesn't matter, you might go back to Fire Bordeaux as it was the prettiest.
Made the selection today went with Delicatus it is a lite stone that has some very deep detail. It grabed my eye with all the info running through my head that i recieved on this site ( mayflower) and all of you..I thought about going bold but decided against that look. Calm and cool and classy is our vision.Stone is in some areas almost see through. Im usually very decive but this stumped me a bit.Thanks alot will follow with pics. Hope i didnt turn anyone off just a newbie finding my way.

Crashes more survivable now
Plane improvements mean fewer passengers dying than ever before
Passengers in plane crashes today, such as the one in San Francisco involving Asiana Airlines Flight 214, are more likely to survive than in past disasters.
Saturday's crash was the latest where a big commercial airliner was destroyed but most of the passengers escaped with their lives. There were plenty of cuts, bruises and broken bones -- and some more severe injuries -- but only two of the 307 passengers and crew onboard died.
Planes now are structurally sounder. In the cabin, stronger seats are less likely to move and crush passengers. Seat cushions and carpeting are fire retardant and doors are easier to open. These improvements allow people to exit the plane more quickly.
The nature of crashes has also changed. Improvements in cockpit technology mean that planes rarely crash into mountains or each other -- accidents that are much more deadly.
"Crashes are definitely more survivable today than they were a few decades ago," said Kevin Hiatt, president and CEO of the Flight Safety Foundation, an industry-backed non-profit group aimed at improving air safety. "We've learned from the past incidents about what can be improved."
Investigators are still trying to determine the cause of the Asiana crash. But whatever the reason, it reflects the trend of fewer people dying in plane accidents.
The odds weren't always in passengers' favour. From 1962 to 1981, 54 per cent of people in plane crashes were killed. From 1982 to 2009, that figure improved to 39 per cent, according to an Associated Press analysis of National Transportation Safety Board data. Those figures only include crashes with at least one fatality. There have been other serious crashes where everybody survived.
The most famous was a US Airways flight in January 2009 that lost engine power after striking a flock of geese after taking off from New York's LaGuardia Airport. Capt. Chesley B. "Sully" Sullenberger ditched the Airbus A320 in the Hudson River and all 155 people onboard survived. The crash was dubbed the "Miracle on the Hudson."
A British Airways flight in January 2008 crashed short of the runway at London's Heathrow Airport. All 152 passengers and crew onboard the Boeing 777 -- the same jet type as Saturday's Asiana flight -- survived.
This April, a Boeing 737 flown by Indonesian airline Lion Air crashed into water short of a runway in Bali. The plane's fuselage split into two sections but all 108 people on board survived.
"What's really important is for people to understand that airplane crashes, the majority of them are survivable," Deborah Hersman, chairwoman of the National Transportation Safety Board, said Sunday on the CBS News show, Face the Nation.
Several advances in aviation technology have made these feats of survival possible. They include:
-- Stronger seats. Today's airplane seats -- and the bolts holding them into the floor -- are designed to withstand forces up to 16 times that of gravity. That prevents rows of seats from pancaking together during a crash, crushing passengers.
-- Fire retardant materials. Carpeting and seat cushions are now made of materials that burn slower, spread flames slower and don't give off noxious and dangerous gases.
-- Improved exits. Doors on planes are much simpler to open and easily swing out of the way, allowing passengers to quickly exit. And planes now come with rows of lights on the floor that change from white to red when an exit is reached.
-- Better training. Flight attendants at many airlines now train in full-size models of planes that fill with smoke during crash simulations.
-- Stronger planes. Aircraft engineers have looked at structural weaknesses from past crashes and reinforced those sections of the plane.
Regulators started mandating such cabin improvements after two deadly aircraft fires in the 1980s.
First, an Air Canada flight made an emergency landing at Cincinnati's airport in 1983 after a fire broke out in the bathroom. The plane landed safely but half of the 46 passengers and crew died because they couldn't quickly escape the smoke and fire.
Two years later, a British Airtours aborted a takeoff in Manchester, England after an engine fire. Passengers evacuated but not fast enough. Of the 137 people onboard, 54 died after inhaling toxic smoke.
"Those two accidents together were the two-by-four to the head" that led the U.S. and British governments to impose new fire-safety standards, said Bill Waldock, a professor of safety science at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's Prescott, Ariz., campus.
Saturday's Asiana crash may have benefited from those changes. The Boeing 777 involved was manufactured in 2005 and contained all of the advances in safety.
"It may have been worse if that fuselage had been designed with practices that were common 20 or 30 years prior," said Todd Curtis, a former safety engineer with Boeing and now a director of the Airsafe.com Foundation.
The emergency response also played a part in limiting the number of fatalities. Airport fire departments frequently hold drills during which crews simulate a crash and practise co-ordinating with area hospitals on how to care for the injured.
"Had this happened in a developing world country with no (advanced) trauma centre, there might have been more fatalities," Curtis said.
New technology helps today's pilots avoid the deadliest types of crashes. Accidents with planes hitting mountains or each other in midair, typically at speeds up to 810 kilometres per hour, are rare in North America and Europe. Crashes during landing happen while planes are flying at lower speeds of 210 to 245 km/h.
"You've changed the nature of accidents," said Capt. Alan W. Price, the former chief pilot for the Atlanta base of Delta Air Lines and founder of consulting firm Falcon Leadership.
Today's planes come with ground proximity warning systems, which alert pilots if they are too low. An alarm sounds and a computer shouts "terrain, pull up."
That technology didn't exist in 1974, when a Trans World Airlines plane heading for Washington Dulles International Airport crashed into 535-metre tall Mount Weather in Virginia. All 92 people on board died.
Those in the airline industry often say a person is more likely to die driving to the airport than on a flight. There are more than 30,000 motor-vehicle deaths each year, a mortality rate eight times greater than that in planes.

HTC One S review: T-Mobile's new shining star
HTC's One S sets a new standard for smartphone greatness for HTC and T-Mobile.
HTC and T-Mobile have a lot in common. For months, both companies have been struggling to find a standout phone. And now, with the launch of the new HTC One S, both companies have a true home run on their hands.
The HTC One S, available April 25 for $200 (after a $50 mail-in rebate and with a new two-year contract), is a standout phone if I've ever seen one. The device is one of HTC's finest efforts to date, reflecting the manufacturer's promise to scale back its production in 2012 and focus on achieving exceptional quality with a small number of devices.
The One S is part of a trio of HTC One phones on their way to carriers. It'll soon be joined by the beefier HTC One X, set to launch on AT&T in the near future, and the One V, the lower-end model likely headed to some of America's prepaid carriers. All three devices run Google's Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS.
The One S may be the middle child of HTC's new lineup, but make no mistake about it: This phone is no slouch. In fact, aside from its screen and overall size, there are few things separating it from its One X sibling -- and for some users, it may actually be the preferable choice.
Body and display
The first thing you notice when you hold HTC's One S is simply how good the phone feels: This is a premium phone, and the effort put into its design is immediately apparent. The One S has a striking aluminum unibody shell and is surprisingly light and thin, coming in at just 0.31 in. thick and 4.2 oz. in weight. That makes the phone thinner and lighter than most -- including the Verizon Galaxy Nexus and Droid Razr Maxx -- but not quite as thin as the original Droid Razr.
Unlike the Droid Razr, the HTC One S has a smooth, hump-free design, interrupted only by the ever-so-slight protrusion of its rear camera lens. The phone is sleek and modern-looking; the body itself is 2.6 x 5.2 in. and bluish-gray in color. (HTC is also marketing a black model of the phone, but that model is not available from T-Mobile at this time.)
The One S's trim figure is partially a result of its screen, which, at 4.3 in., is relatively small compared to the giant-sized displays on many modern phones (including the One X, which has a 4.7-in. display). While some may prefer a larger screen, the One S's display certainly doesn't feel puny; for many users, I suspect it'll be a worthwhile tradeoff for the lack of bulk.
Size aside, I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that the One S's screen isn't exactly its strong point. The phone uses a 960 x 540 Super AMOLED display that's less eye-poppingly impressive than the 720p HD-quality displays on other high-end devices. (The Droid Razr and Razr Maxx are two noteworthy exceptions; those phones' displays are roughly comparable to the One S's.)
To be fair, most users probably won't think twice about it: Colors on the One S are bright and vibrant, and blacks are deeply black. For the most part, the screen actually looks quite good. But smartphone enthusiasts or users who are coming from higher-resolution devices may be somewhat let down by the subtle inaccuracies and grainy qualities that can sometimes be detected in the phone's display.
The HTC One S has a micro-USB port on its upper-left edge; that port doubles as an HDMI out-port with the use of a special cable or adapter (not included with the phone). A headphone jack and power button sit along the phone's top, and a volume rocker lives on its upper-right edge.
The button factor
The One S has three capacitive buttons on its face: a back button, a home button and a multitasking button. This is a significant deviation from Google's model Android 4.0 setup, in which those same buttons appear as virtual icons on the phone's screen (as is the case with the Google-backed Galaxy Nexus device).
The basic purpose of Google's approach, aesthetics aside, is to allow the buttons to rotate vertically or horizontally to match your phone's orientation -- and also to disappear altogether when they aren't needed, such as when you're viewing a video. By opting for capacitive buttons, HTC's One S misses out on these Android 4.0-level benefits.
On top of that, with certain apps, the phone is forced to tack an awkwardly centered legacy menu icon onto the bottom of the display. (On a button-free Ice Cream Sandwich phone, the legacy menu icon would appear alongside the on-screen buttons -- and only when an older app not yet updated to Android 4.0 design standards is in use.) What's more, the One S's strangely positioned icon even showed up for me when I was using apps that had no need for it, such as Google's own ICS-optimized Google Reader application.
In general, I found myself resenting the capacitive buttons and wishing HTC had gone with Google's virtual on-screen model instead. (I can't say for certain why HTC decided to go this route, but I'd suspect the reasons are largely a matter of consistency with past designs and matching what they perceive to be a preferential way of using the phone.) In addition to the aforementioned issues, the capacitive buttons didn't consistently light up when I was using the device, making it impossible to see them and to know where to press in darker lighting conditions.

Having a good laugh over those silly breakup rumors?
Will Smith and wife of 13 years Jada Pinkett Smith were seen laughing together during a romantic brunch near the beach in Malibu Wednesday.
PHOTOS: Couples who really did call it quits
According to TMZ, the "happy and normal" couple ordered omelets and coffee at Bob Morris' Beach Cafe; their children, Trey, 18, Jaden, 13, and Willow, 10, were not present. The couple then went shopping at the Malibu Colony Company store, where a salesperson told X17online exclusively, "They looked very happy ... extremely happy."
PHOTOS: Will and Jada's crazy height difference
Just one day earlier, a tabloid claimed the A-list duo were planning to split in light of 39-year-old Pinkett's alleged affair with her HawthoRNe costar Marc Anthony.
"Everything about Jada and Marc Anthony is false," Pinkett Smith's rep told Us Weekly, denying the alleged extramarital romance.
Pinkett Smith and her husband, 42, released a statement squashing the split rumors as well. "Although we are reluctant to respond to these types of press reports, the rumors circulating about our relationship are completely false," the Smiths said. "We are still together, and our marriage is intact."

what is this?
could anyone help me , Please ?
One possible solution is that the owner of your network has seen fit to block fileshare sites.
- CommentAuthorcindelicato
- CommentTimeMay 30th 2012
Another possible solution is that you have innocently become attached to a network that was using OpenDNS for filtering, and you are now subject to that person's filtering choices.
If the former, contact that Administrator. If the latter, you can refresh your IP address by doing the following in WINDOWS at a command prompt:
ipconfig /release -> press ENTER and then:
ipconfig /renew -> press ENTER and that forces a renewal of your internal IP addressThankful People: blocksitesplz
"If the latter, you can refresh your IP address by doing the following in WINDOWS at a command prompt: ..."
Nope, this "refreshes" the computer's private IP address only, irrelevant for OpenDNS.
He had to reboot the most outer device (modem or router) to possibly obtain another WAN IP address from his ISP.Thankful People: cindelicato, blocksitesplz

Welcome To The Official Website of Urban Christian Artist
Wallace Rahming
Two months down.......ten more to go. My prayer is that all of my brothers and sisters up north are surviving the snow and cold in a "more than conqueror" style. Hold on.........spring is coming. Not only is spring coming, but also everything you've been believing God the Father for is on the way as well. The times we are living in seem to line up to the end times described by Jesus in Matthew 24:6-7,"And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. We even have a case of Leprosy (something up until now we have only read about in the Bible) right here in the Sunshine State. Let not your heart be troubled.... as Jesus said these things have to happen. Our job is to occupy until He comes. So keep living for Him no matter what. Keep serving Him no matter what. Keep loving others no matter what. And don't get distracted from your purpose because of what is going on around you............. no matter what.
Count down to "Life Cycles" has begun. April 2015. Stay tuned...........
At 3ram, we love all of you who visit this page regularly (and occasionally). Thank you for your kind words and support. You encourage me to continue creating music with the ultimate message for mankind. As we come to the end of this year, may we all reflect upon God's grace and become excited about the possibilities of tomorrow. May you be awesomely blessed as you observe and obey God's Word more each day. "Blessings be upon you always." Psalm 20:5"
Yours In Christ,

NEW YORK (AP) — Snapchat has agreed to settle with the Federal Trade Commission over charges that it deceived customers about the disappearing nature of messages sent through its service and that it collected users' contacts without telling them or asking permission.
FTC says Snapchat deceived customers
Snapchat is a popular mobile messaging app that lets people send photos, videos and messages that disappear in a few seconds. But the FTC said Snapchat misled users about its data collection methods and failed to tell users that others could save their messages without their knowledge.
Snapchat agreed to settle without admitting or denying any wrongdoing and the company said it has addressed many of the issues the FTC raised.
As part of the settlement, Snapchat must implement a privacy program that will be monitored by an outside privacy expert for the next 20 years. The arrangement is similar to privacy settlements that Google, Facebook and Myspace have agreed to in recent years.
Although Snapchat said its app notified users when a recipient takes a screenshot of a "snap" they've sent, the FTC said recipients with an Apple device that runs an operating system that predates iOS 7 could evade the app's screenshot detection. Apple's iOS7 launched last summer.
In addition, the FTC said Snapchat's app stored video snaps that were not encrypted on the recipient's device. The videos remained accessible to the recipient, the agency said. A user could access a video message, even after it supposedly disappeared, if the user simply connected the phone to a computer and accessed the video in the device's file directory.
The FTC complaint also alleges that Snapchat failed to secure its "find friends" feature. A security breach in January allowed hackers to collect the usernames and phone numbers of some 4.6 million Snapchat users. The breach occurred after security experts warned the company at least twice about a vulnerability in its system. Snapchat later issued an update to its app that fixed the issue and allowed users to opt out of the "find friends" feature.

Jamie's Got a Gun
A Graphic Novel
Reviewed by
Allyce Amidon
Though certainly the most novelesque of this group, Jamie's Got a Gun is far too important a story to be excluded. Seventeen-year-old Jamie lives in poverty on the wrong side of town with a precocious younger sister and an overworked mother he can't always protect from his abusive, unemployed stepfather. He's viciously bullied at school, has no friends, struggles with dyslexia, and worries about his elementary-school crush, who's now a heroin-addicted prostitute. And then he finds a gun in a dumpster. Written in the first person as though it were Jamie's own journal, this page-turner, complete with untrustworthy narrator, follows the ups and downs of Jamie's life as he decides whether or not this gun is the answer to his problems. Set in Canada with a few passing references to school shootings in America, readers should be aware this book deals frankly with physical and psychological abuse, gun violence, drug use, and prostitution. This powerful, poignant, and ultimately hopeful book should not be missed.

I don't do a lot of SALs (stitch-a-longs, for the non-stitchers in the crowd), but I was intrigued by the Star Sampler SAL by Periphaeria Designs. I spent quite a bit of time choosing my fabric and floss. I'm not normally enticed by warm colors, but this piece of fabric that I had in my stash just called out to me. I haven't worked on it in a few weeks, but the final section was made available this week. So I'm thinking I'll finish it this week.

Painting or staining your tree house weatherproofs it and tailors it to suit your taste and your kids' imagination. Ask your children for color input or consider a color scheme that matches or complements your home. It's up to you.
You can try to make your tree house feel like a smaller, second home inside and out. So, when determining a color scheme for the tree house, use the same process you would when painting the inside or outside of you home. Your palette should consist of three colors: a light, medium and dark color. These three colors will form the foundation of your project. Lighter colors should be used as a background. Remember you can also use different color schemes for the outside of the tree house than you would for the inside.
There are three basic color schemes for the home, which can also apply to the tree house. Each has its own appeal, but it's up to you to decide what you do with your tree house. Let your personality and tastes dictate the scheme you use.
Monochromatic color schemes use tints and shades of the same color to create a sophisticated and elegant look. Colors from the same color family tend to look great together, such as a neutral color like brown or gray with lighter or brighter shades of these colors used on trim.
Developed from colors next to each other on the color wheel, analogous home color schemes offer more nuances while retaining the elegance of the monochromatic scheme. Usually, one color is dominant while others are used to enrich the effect, for example, greens and blues or rose and peach.
Complementary colors are opposite each other on the color wheel. These types of color schemes add drama. Complementary colors enhance the temperature of each other, which adds interest and energy when trim complements the background color. To get the most out of this scheme, use a warm color against a cool shade or add contrasting accessories inside to highlight the color of the walls.
Your local True Value hardware store experts can answer any questions you have about both exterior and interior paint color combinations and point you in the right direction, based on your preferences. So bring in ideas and pictures of interiors and exteriors you like. While you're there, you can pick up a Custom Mixed Color Sample to try a few colors on the tree house walls. You can also pick up Idea Cards that have pre-determined palettes ready for you.
Or try the Color Selection Tool, which features a color wheel with every color in our paint palette. For more color ideas and inspiration, visit Truevaluepaint.com.

Performance Improvement
Federal CIO Steven VanRoekel has issued a challenge: To "use IT as a strategic asset and thereby fundamentally improve the way government does business."
Improving the way government does business boils down to how government makes decisions, and risk management decision-making is an area ripe with opportunity for this. This article puts forth a framework toward evolving risk management – an approach that aligns risk management with performance and strategy objectives.
The mainstream approach to managing risk currently focuses on maintaining a risk register based on risk probability and impact. Multiplying probability and impact gives a resulting "risk rating." Risks with the highest rating rise to the top. While insightful, this approach falls short on providing information needed for allocating scarce resources in a manner that maximizes ROI and best aligns to strategy and performance objectives.
To fill this gap, a variable for "complexity"-- a measure reflecting the unknowns of the solution and/or coordination challenges of addressing the risk -- is critical, and studies indicate that it is in short supply.
Bent Flyvbjerg and Alexander Budzier of Oxford University's Saïd Business School, examined 1,471 IT projects (92 percent were public agencies and 83 percent were U.S.-based) comparing their budgets and estimated performance benefits with the actual costs and results. The findings: The average overrun was 27 percent—and one in six projects was a black swan, with a cost overrun of 200 percent, on average, and a schedule overrun of almost 70 percent.
To meet VanRoekel's challenge of using IT strategically and improving the way government does business, decision-making processes much evolve and improve to prevent these overruns and black swans.
"Complexity" clearly means that unknowns and coordination challenges do exist. Through clear identification, these challenges can be addressed and managed with the aim of reducing complexity. Examples of complexities include understanding what the engineering solution needs to be or getting the right resources on the team – not easy tasks.
A relatively simple way to begin applying the complexity variable to your current risk management tool set is to establish a 2 by 2 matrix with "Risk Rating" [the product of risk probability and impact (note: impact should include best estimate solution cost)] on one axis and "Complexity" on the other. Together, Risk Rating and Complexity provide a more robust, transparent framework for making decisions in alignment with performance and strategic objectives. An overview of the four strategic segments created by the 2 by 2 matrix is shown below:
In managing risk to match performance and strategy objectives, decision makers need not focus solely on one strategic segment versus another. Rather, this evolved risk management framework provides information for making decisions aligned with the specific objectives, risk philosophy, applicable mandates, and budget of your organization. Particularly in an era of never-before-seen budget challenges and security attacks, improving the approach to risk management is needed now more than ever.

Jonathan Zimmerman: What's Wrong With the Slavery Math Lesson?tags: slavery, Jonathan Zimmerman, NY Daily News, NYU, math
Jonathan Zimmerman is a professor of education and history at New York University. He is the author of "Small Wonder: The Little Red Schoolhouse in History and Memory."
In 1941, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People released a report condemning racist school textbooks in New York City. Music books routinely referred to blacks as "darkeys," while literature anthologies called them "coons" or "Sambos." Worst of all, American history textbooks depicted slavery as a genteel institution developed by benevolent white Southerners to "civilize" savage, ignorant Africans.
All of these books were profoundly offensive to the city's African-American population, of course. But they were also full of lies, as NAACP secretary Walter White emphasized. "This study was made not on a basis of racial sensitiveness or pride," White wrote, describing the NAACP's textbook report, "but on the highest plane of historical accuracy and objectivity." Indeed, the report drew on research by pioneering black historian Carter G. Woodson to refute the textbooks' cheery portrait of life under slavery.
I thought of this episode as I read about the furor against Jane Youn, the P.S. 59 school teacher who asked her fourth graders to come up with math problems that drew on their social studies coursework. One of their questions asked how many slaves would remain on a ship, if some of them perished in a revolt; another asked how many times a slave would be whipped over the course of a month, assuming five daily floggings....

This is a really good looking rug and the quality of construction is also good. It is not really ivory though, it's a dusty grey, which happens to work with my decor, so it's all good.
I bought this rug for the bedroom and its perfect. Your feet just melt into it when you wake up and stand up onto it. So much better than the cold hardwood floor. The design is nice and modern but still classy.Not overtly bold and modern where the pattern will be out of style by next winter. It is a bit darker than its picture online, more oatmeal than ivory, but I actually prefer the darker. Its not dark by any means, just not as light as it is in the picture. Delivery was prompt and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.
We love the rug. It is definitely darker than I expected. More of an OATMEAL color which works fine for me.
Matches my headboard exactly. It's a very simple and elegant rug that is exactly what I was looking for to place underneath my bed.

Marmons set themselves apart from the rest and looked good, for a truck that was hand built (A.K.A the rolls-royce of trucks, meaning just like the car it was hand built)
Looks Great!!

Toilet Overflow Mold Danger?
Hi all,
So, recently one of our 2nd floor toilets overflowed and some of it leaked into our heating vents. The amount of liquid that seeped into the vents was probably half a cup (before I managed to contain the overflow via towels and clothing). The liquid that did get through, ran down the vent ended up seeping through a crack in the kitchen roof drywall, and the heating vent in the basement.
Once all the liquids stopped flowing, we pretty much ran everything through with Clorox Bleach and/or dishwashing detergent. We also cleaned
Should I be concerned at all with sediments of fecal matter developing into mold in the drywall and heating vent?
-- And just FYI (don't know if this matters): living in Chicago, we will be approaching the winter season, so our homes will be quite dry during that season. Not sure if this will prevent mold from developing.
I wouldn't worry about it. The microbes in your fecal material are bacteria and evolved to live in your warm moist colon. They will not survive without moisture. You should just dry the area thoroughly and as soon as possible to prevent mold (just as you should with any water leak). I would even run the heat (or just the fan if it gets too warm) for a little while just to be sure. Luckily, there is a cold front moving through the area.

MTV show appears on iTunes Music Store
The first television show from MTV has been quietly added to the iTunes Music Store, despite no announcement coming from Apple or the popular music network. The first season of MTV's real life teen soap opera "Laguna Beach" can now be found on iTunes for $1.99 per episode.
While the show's page on the store currently does not load and direct links result in error messages, users are able find the show by searching and can watch previews and purchase and download the episodes. There has been no indication from Apple about a deal with MTV beyond its vague statement last week that there is more downloadable content on the way for video iPods.

Posted by LC Angell on January 26, 2006 at 7:48 AM (CST)
I'm sorry, but I hate that show. MTV has turned into a products for teeny boppers! Anyone who watches rich white kids complain about their lives needs to WAKE UP TO REALITY. It is us working class heroes who struggle every day just to get by day to day. MTV needs to go back to its roots and stick with playing music videos. I know we have MTV 2 to do that, but all they play is rap/hip-hop, pop, and r&b crap, which comes to show you that MTV tries to hard to appeal a particular audience. Where are all the older music videos like Nirvana's "Smell Like Teen Spirit", Michael Jackson's epic "Thriller", or Twisted Sister"s "I Wanna Rock"? It is important musical acts that defined originality that should be forever remembered. Yea, I don't see my lame 13 year old cousin listening to Led Zeppelin, Queen, or David Bowie. It's MTV that has turned these kids into liking crappy music like D4l's "Laffy Taffy". Crap man, MTV needs to stop polluting the youth of America with pointless shows and crappy music that only stays popular for a few weeks. We need originality!!
