Autopsy reports on 22 children who died this week after eating a school lunch in Bihar confirmed that they were poisoned by insecticide, which was either in the food or cooking oil, a doctor said Thursday.
Patna Medical College hospital superintendent Amarkant Jha Amar said that although it was clear the children died from insecticide, results were still pending to determine what the chemicals were.
The free mid-day meal was served to the children on Tuesday in Gandamal village in Masrakh block, 80 kilometers north of Patna, the Bihar state capital. The children, aged 5-12, got sick soon after eating rice, lentils, soya and potatoes, and soon 22 of them were dead and dozens were hospitalised.
The 25 children and the school cook still being treated in the hospital are unlikely to suffer from any serious aftereffects from the tainted food, Amar said, though four of the children were still in the intensive care unit. "There will be no remnant effects on them. The effects of poisoning will be washed after a certain period of time from the tissues," Amar said.
Bihar Education Minister P.K. Sahi said on Wednesday that a preliminary investigation suggested that the food served to the children contained an organophosphate used as an insecticide on rice and wheat crops. He said it was believed the rice had not been washed before it was served to the children. Amar said Thursday that the post-mortem reports on the children who died confirmed that insecticide was either in the food or cooking oil. He said authorities were waiting for lab results for more details on the chemicals.

With 93.3 million Americans expected to take a trip this holiday season, holiday travel to increase by 1.6 percent
ORLANDO, Fla., Dec. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- AAA projects 93.3 million Americans will journey 50 miles or more from home during the year-end holidays, an increase of 1.6 percent over the 91.8 million people who traveled last year. This increase brings holiday travel figures to within half a million of the decade high mark seen during the 2006/2007 season. The year-end holiday travel period is defined as Saturday, Dec. 22 to Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013.
Highlights from AAA 2012/13 Year-End Holiday Travel Forecast include:
- Year-end holiday travelers to total 93.3 million, an increase of 1.6 percent from the 91.8 million that traveled last year
- Ninety percent of travelers (84.4 million) to travel by automobile, representing 26.7 percent of the total U.S. population
- Holiday air travel expected to increase 4.5 percent to 5.6 million travelers from 5.4 million in 2011
- Median spending expected to increase almost six percent to $759, compared to $718 in 2011 with transportation costs consuming about 29 cents of every travel dollar.
- Average distance traveled to increase to 760 miles round-trip from 726 miles, an expected result with an increase in air travelers
- Travel volumes for the year-end holidays are generally very stable, only once in the past decade has there been a change in travel volume greater than five percent
"The year-end holiday season remains the least volatile of all travel holidays as Americans will not let economic conditions or high gas prices dictate if they go home for the holidays or kick off the New Year with a vacation," said AAA President and CEO Robert Darbelnet. "Primary economic indicators all show modest improvement from last year and AAA is projecting an increase in the number of Americans stuffing their stockings with airline tickets and hotel reservations."
"As we enter the New Year, one unknown for travel is the looming 'fiscal cliff' and the resulting uncertainty related to near-term tax and benefit changes. Having these items unresolved complicates many travelers' ability to develop an accurate household budget as they plan for future spending and saving decisions. It is important that Congress and the President work together to quickly resolve the situation for the good of the nation," said Darbelnet.
Impact of gasoline prices on travel plans
AAA estimates the national average price of gasoline will slowly drop through the end of the year and average between $3.20-3.40 a gallon by New Year's Day. Gas prices dropped about 50 cents a gallon on average from September through early December, but remain at record highs for this time of year. AAA does not expect gas prices to have a major impact on travel volume, but consumers could have more money to spend on holiday shopping, dining and entertainment if prices drop through December as expected.
Automobile travel remains dominant mode of transportation, air travel increases
Approximately 90 percent of travelers (84.4 million) plan to travel by automobile this holiday season. This is a 1.3 percent increase over the 83.3 million people who traveled by auto last year. Air travel is expected to increase 4.5 percent as six percent of travelers or 5.6 million will take to the skies.
Those traveling by air will find lower airfares according to AAA's Leisure Travel Index. For the year-end holiday period the average lowest round-trip rate is $203 for the top 40 U.S. air routes, a three percent decrease from last year. Approximately 3.3 million travelers will choose other modes of transportation, including rail, bus and cruise ship.
Hotel rates to increase slightly, car rental rates increase 41 percent
According to AAA's Leisure Travel Index, year-end holiday hotel rates for AAA Three Diamond lodgings are expected to increase two percent from a year ago, with travelers spending an average of $129 per night compared to $126 last year. Travelers planning to stay at AAA Two Diamond hotels can expect to pay three percent more, at an average cost of $95 per night. Daily car rental rates will average $56, compared to $40 last year.
Average travel distance increases
According to the survey of intended travelers, the average distance traveled by Americans during holiday period is expected to be 760 miles, further than last year when travelers planned to log 726 miles.
Median spending up nearly six percent; top activities are dining and spending time with loved ones
Median spending is expected to be $759, a six percent increase compared to the expected median spending of intended holiday travelers ($718) last year.
Dining (67 percent) and spending time with family and friends (66 percent) and are the most popular activities planned by travelers. It is not surprising that during holiday season shopping is the third most popular activity with 57 percent expecting to shop. More than one-third (34 percent) of holiday travelers plan to sightsee during their trips.

A roll-wrapping method where rolls are wrapped with an envelope of heat-shrink plastic film with a label positioned between the envelope and roll and electrostatically bonded to the film. The bond prevents misalignment of the label prior to heat shrinking of the film onto the roll.
1. The method of wrapping a cylindrical roll with a transparent circumferential film envelope and confining a label between the envelope and roll, comprising the steps of:
(a) Freely positioning a label formed of non-heat shrink material and having a straight edge against a sheet of transparent heat shrink film with the label edge extending across the width of the sheet;
(b) Electrostatically bonding the edge only of the label to the film sheet while retaining the remainder of the label free of the film;
(c) Wrapping the film sheet with the label bonded thereto around a rigid cylindrical roll with the label confined between the roll and the film and with the edge parallel to the roll axis, severing the film wrapped around the roll from the remainder of the film sheet and bonding together the ends of the wrapped film away from the label to form a circumferential film envelope loosely surrounding the roll with the electrostatic bond holding the label in place within the space between the envelope and the roll;
(d) Rotating the roll with surrounding loose film envelope and electrostatically bonded label along supports and to a film shrink station while maintaining the label in position within said space with the edge parallel to the roll axis; and
(e) Heat shrinking the film envelope tightly onto the roll at the station while maintaining the electrostatic bond between the label edge and the film and sliding the shrinking film envelope along the remainder of the label without buckling the label so as to tightly sandwich the label between the shrunk envelope and the roll at a desired location with the label edge parallel to the roll axis.
This is a division of application Ser. No. 318,623, filed 11/5/81, which issued Oct. 9, 1984, as U.S. Pat. No. 4,475,651.
The invention relates to a method for wrapping rolls, conventionally rolls of sheet material such as wrapping paper and the like wound on a core, by a loose envelope of heat-shrink film and with a label positioned between the envelope and the roll and bonded electrostatically to the film envelope. The electrostatic bond assures the label is held in the desired position until the envelope is heat-shrunk to tightly sandwich the label between the label and the roll. The electrostatic bond between the label and film is formed when the label is supported in a known position, prior to wrapping the film around the roll. The bond prevents undesired shifting of the label.
Elsner et al U.S. Pat. No. 4,423,854, for "Roll-Wrapping Apparatus with Label Inserter and Method " discloses a roll-wrapping machine for automatically positioning a label between an envelope of heat-shrink film formed around a roll and then shrinking the film to tightly confine the label in place on the roll. The film shrinking operation is performed at a station downstream from the work zone where the film is wrapped around the label and roll. During movement of the roll from the work zone to the heat-shrink station there is a possibility that the loosely confined label may shift from its desired orientation in which it was picked up and originally wrapped so that when the film is shrunk, the label is held in improper orientation. Labels may shift despite the use of roll hold-downs. An improperly oriented label makes the finished product unsightly and decreases its marketability.
The present invention is an improvement over the apparatus and method of the co-pending Elsner et al applicaion by providing an electrostatic charging assembly which provides opposite electrostatic charges on the upper end of the label and the adjacent plastic heat-shrink film so that the charges create an electrostatic bond holding the label to the film. The label is held in a fixed jaw member in proper orientation when it is charged thereby assuring that the electrostatic bond holds it in proper orientation during wrapping around the roll and movement of the resultant package from the work zone to the heat-shrink station. Thus, the electrostatic bond between the label and the film guarantees the label is in the desired location when the film envelope surrounding the roll is shrunk to permanently sandwich the label against the roll. In the case of a rectangular label, the electrostatic bond may assure that the top and bottom edges of the label are parallel to the axis of the roll when the film envelope is shrunk in place.
In addition to the apparatus and method previously described, the invention also relates to an improved intermediate product comprising a roll, a loose plastic film envelope surrounding the roll and a label confined between the envelope and the roll and securely bonded in place to prevent misorientation prior to heat-shrinking of the envelope. In the envelope of the prior Elsner et al machine, the label is not bonded in place between the envelope and the roll. Hold-downs are used to maintain alignment of the label, but some movement may occur.
The electrostatic charging assembly used in the roll-wrapping apparatus includes conventional charging and grounding bars and charge generating circuits similar to those disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,892,614 for "Electrostatic Laminating Apparatus and Method", assigned to the Simco Company, Inc., Landsdale, Pa.
Other objects and features of the invention will become apparent as the description proceeds, especially when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings illustrating the invention, of which there are three sheets and one embodiment.
FIG. 1 is a side view, partially broken away, of a roll-wrapping apparatus according to the invention;
FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 are similar to FIG. 1 illustrating the operation of the apparatus;
FIG. 5 is a top view of the apparatus partially broken away; and
FIG. 6 is an enlarged sectional view illustrating part of a wrapped roll with the label electrostatically bonded to the film envelope prior to shrinking of the film.
Roll-wrapping apparatus 10 includes a roll infeed conveyor 12, roll discharge conveyor 14 located downstream of the infeed conveyor and upper and lower film sealing jaws 16 and 18 located in a work zone 20 between the conveyors. Film feed assembly 22 maintains a taut curtain 23 of thermoplastic film extending across the work zone upstream of the sealing jaws.
Label feeder 24 is mounted on apparatus 10 above the infeed conveyor. Label transfer assembly 26 transfers labels from feeder 24 to the work zone immediately upstream of the film curtain maintained by assembly 22. A pair of pusher bars 28 feed rolls from the downstream end of conveyor 12 through the work zone 20 to the upstream end of discharge conveyor 14. Conveyor 14 extends from the work zone downstream to a heat shrink station (not illustrated).
An electrostatic charging assembly 30 includes a grounding bar 32 extending across the width of the film curtain on the downstream side of the curtain and an applicator bar 34 extending across the width of the upstream side of the curtain across from the grounding bar. The grounding bar is permanently mounted on apparatus 10 as illustrated while the charging bar is moveable between the positions illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 4 in response to movement of the label transfer assembly 26. Conventional electrostatic generators (not illustrated) energize bars 32 and 34 so that opposite polarity electrostatic charges are generated by the bars and flowed toward the adjacent plastic film. The bars and generators may be like those shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,892,614.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 5, apparatus 10 includes a frame having a number of pairs of support rails 36, 38 and 40 located on opposite sides of the machine. The roll infeed conveyor 12 includes a number of roll support belts 42 which are wrapped around pulleys 44 on shaft 46 at the downstream end of the infeed conveyor. Shaft 46 is journaled in bearings 48 on rails 38. The upper runs of belts 42 are moved downstream by a suitable drive (not illustrated). Resilient roll hold-downs 50 are supported on the lower surfaces of upper rails 52. A roll support platform 54 extends along the upper runs of belts 42 a distance beyond the downstream ends of the belts to support rolls as they are moved toward the work zone 20.
Discharge conveyor 14 includes a number of discharge belts 56 which extend around idler pulleys 58 at the upstream end of the conveyor. Pulleys 58 may be moved up and down between the positions of FIGS. 3 and 4. Discharge conveyor roll hold-downs 60, similar to hold-downs 50, are located above the discharge conveyor. Suitable drive means (not illustrated) lower and raise sealing jaws 16 and 18 to seal a loose envelope of film around a roll and re-establish the film curtain extending across the work zone 20.
Label feeder 24 automatically feeds individual labels 61 to a pickup position located above and slightly upstream of the work zone. See FIG. 1. Upon withdrawal of the label from the pickup position, another label is automatically fed to the pickup position.
The label transfer assembly 26 includes a pivot arm 62 rigidly secured on cross shaft 64 which is in turn mounted in bearings 66 on rails 40. The arm 62 includes a pair of spaced side plates 68 with a fixed jaw member 70 extending between the ends of the plates away from shaft 64. Air cylinder 72 is located between plates 68 with one end of the air cylinder pivotally mounted on a pin 74 extending between the plates and the rod end of the cylinder 76 mounted to the lower end of a pivot jaw member 78. Retraction of the air cylinder from the position shown in FIG. 3 moves the upper end of jaw member 78 against fixed jaw member 70 to grasp a label seated on the jaw member 70. The fixed end of pivot arm air cylinder 80 is attached to frame member 82 and the piston rod of the air cylinder is attached to plates 68 at cross pin 84. Extension and retraction of the cylinder 80 moves the label transfer assembly between the positions illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 4.
The lower ends of pusher bars 28 are pivotally attached to the apparatus 10 so that bar drive means (not illustrated) moves the bars between the positions of FIGS. 1 and 2 to pick up a roll fed to support platform 54 and move the roll through the work zone 20 to the discharge conveyor 14. Bars 28 include V-shaped ends 86 adapted to receive and push the roll downstream.
In addition to bars 32 and 34, the electrostatic charging assembly includes a shifting mechanism 88 for charging bar 34. The shifting mechanism includes a pair of arms 90 extending from the charging bar to support shaft 92 which extends across the width of apparatus 10 and is adjustably secured at its ends to the upper ends of a pair of pivot arms 94. The lower ends of these arms are mounted on cross shaft 96 which extends into bearings 98 on rails 36. A series of mounting holes 100 are provided on the free ends of arms 94 to permit mounting of shaft 92 in different positions dependent upon the geometry of the particular label being positioned within the roll wrapping. Likewise, the angular position of the arms 90 with respect to shaft 92 may be adjusted as required.
Radial arm 102 is carried on one end of shaft 64 and projects upwardly from the shaft generally parallel to the adjacent pivot arm 94. A link 104 joins arms 102 and 94 such that rotation of the pivot arm 62 from the position shown in FIG. 1 to the position shown in FIG. 4 correspondingly rotates arm 102 so that arms 94 are rotated in the same direction as the pivot arm and charging bar 34 is withdrawn from the path of movement of the arm 62 toward label inserter 24. FIG. 4 illustrates the arm 62 in the fully raised position with the charging bar 34 retracted away from the work zone.
During operation of apparatus 10 belts 42 are continuously driven to move the upper runs downstream in the direction of arrow 106 shown in FIG. 1. A series of spaced rolls 108, 110 are moved downstream by the belts 42, between the upper runs of the belts and the hold-downs 50. Each roll is delivered by the beltsto the support platform 54. In FIG. 1, roll 108 has moved the platform while next upstream roll 110 is being moved downstream toward the platform. Following movement of roll 108 through the work zone 20 to form a wrapped, sealed film envelope surrounding the roll with a label confined between the film envelope and the roll and an electrostatic bond between the label and the envelope, the wrapped roll is delivered to the mouth of the discharge conveyor 14 and the idler pulleys 58 are raised to confine the wrapped roll between belts 56 and hold-down 60 so that the downstream moving belts 56 move the roll to the heat shrink station.
Following discharge of a roll from the work zone, cylinder 80 is extended to rotate pivot arm 62 up from the position of FIG. 1 to that of FIG. 4. When in this position, the label 61 presented by label feeder 24 extends into the open space between the jaw members 70 and 78. Cylinder 72 is then retracted to move member 78 against fixed member 70 and clamp the presented label between the members. The cylinder 80 is then retracted to return the pivot arm to the position of FIG. 1 with the label extending across the downstream mouth of the infeed conveyor on the left of the work zone 20 as shown in FIG. 1. The label is immediately upstream of the film curtain 23 extending across the work zone. The fixed jaw member holds the label with the top edge parallel to the axis of the rolls moving through the machine. Cylinder 72 is extended.
During raising of the pivot arm 62, the bar 34 is automatically retracted by shifting mechanism 88. When the pivot arm 62 is returned to the retracted position, the charging bar 34 is again located immediately upstream of the top edge of the label. The grounding bar 32 is located on the other side of the curtain opposite the charging bar. During operation of apparatus 10 the grounding bar 32 and charging bar 34 are powered through conventional electrostatic charging circuitry (not illustrated) so that the air between bar 34 and the top label 112 is charged with ions of one polarity and the air between bar 32 and the adjacent thermoplastic wrapping film 114 is filled with ions of the opposite polarity. The different polarity ions collect on the top of label 112 and on the film 114 opposite the top of the label to form an electrostatic bond between the label and the film. The bond tightly holds the top of the label in place on the film. The effective net overall charge on the label and film is zero so that other objects are not attracted to or repelled by the charges which hold the label in place on the film.
Electrostatic bonding of the label to the film occurs immediately upon lowering of pivot arm 62 to the position of FIG. 1 and the resultant return of charging bar 34 to the position adjacent the top of label 112. Upon retraction of cylinder 80, pusher bars 28 are rotated up from the position of FIG. 1 to the position of FIG. 2 where ends 86 engage the roll 108 and move it downstream through the work zone 20. During this operation, the film feed assembly 22 maintains tension on the film 114 extending across the work zone so that the film and label secured to the film are wrapped around the roll. During this operation, the electrostatic bond between the label and the film accurately holds the label in place on the film. The film required to form the wrap around the roll is fed to the work area from upper and lower film supplies 116 and 118, as required.
Following pushing of the roll 108 from platform 54, through the work zone and to the upstream end of the discharge conveyor 14 as shown in FIG. 2, pusher bars 28 are retracted and sealing jaws 16 and 18 are extended into the work zone to seal together the upper and lower sides of the film wrapped around the roll. See FIG. 3. The jaws form a first seal adjacent the roll and a second seal remote from the roll. The film between the seal is then automatically severed. In this way, the first seal forms a film envelope completely surrounding the roll with the label located between the envelope and the roll. The second seal reconnects the upper and lower films to re-establish the film curtain 23 extending across the work zone 20.
Upon forming of the seals and severing of the film between the seals, jaws 16 and 18 open and the film feed assembly 22 re-establishes the taut curtain extending across the work zone. Idler pulleys 58 are then raised to bring the upper runs of belts 56 into contact with the bottom of the wrapped roll and the roll is rotated against hold-downs 60 downstream from the work area to the heat shrink station where the film envelope surrounding the roll is shrunk onto the roll so that the label is tightly sandwiched between the film and the roll.
The film feed assembly 22 maintains film curtain 23 under tension during movement of the roll through the work zone and closure of the sealing jaws 16 and 18 to form the two seals. While the first seal is formed adjacent the upstream end of the roll, the resulting film envelope 120 has sufficient looseness or slack in it to allow a label freely positioned between the envelope and the roll to shift position and become misaligned during movement of the roll to the heat shrink station. At the shrink station, the film envelope is shrunk tightly onto the roll to hold the label in its final position. If the label has become shifted during movement from the orienting jaw member 70 to the heat shrink station, the surrounding envelope will shrink and permanently hold the label in the undesired shifted position.
By forming an electrostatic bond between the label and the film prior to wrapping the film around the roll and forming of the envelope 120, the position of the label is fixed relative to the film with the upper and lower label edges parallel to the roll axis. As shown in FIG. 6, an electrostatic bond is formed in area 122 to secure the upper edge of label 124 to the adjacent surrounding plastic film envelope 126. The label and film surround a roll 128 which may include a cylindrical cardboard core 130 and a number of layers of wrapping paper or the like 132 wound on the core. The upper edge 134 of the label extends parallel to the axis of the roll. In practice, the sealed, unshrunk, plastic envelope 126 is slightly larger than the roll so that there may be a slight space between the label and the film and roll away from the bond 122. Shrinking of the envelope on to the roll eliminates this spacing and tightly sandwiches the label in place on the roll.
The electrostatic bond between the envelope and the label extends axially along the top edge only of the label. The remaining area of the label is not attached to the film so that when the film is shrunk it slides across the fixed size label. A large area bond between the label and film is undesirable since shrinking of the film tends to buckle the label and film to form a rippled, unappealing package.
While I have illustrated and described a preferred embodiment of my invention, it is understood that this is capable of modification, and I therefore do not wish to be limited to the precise details set forth, but desire to avail myself of such changes and alterations as fall within the purview of the following claims.

I confess, I didn't know that 'truth' could be 'spun'. If so, perhaps some will spray on the talking heads & other forms of the ignorant & UNinformed….Of course nothing will change those that simply 'don't care' enough to even try to get the facts & just aim for headlines. Sawyer makes it obvious that beauty contest winners of her day need not have brains to win.
Joe, just keep 'you top' spinning, spinning spinning .

Htc one will utilize the home key long press for menu. Initially it will be frustrating but once getting used to it wont make you feel awkward
Multitasking comes by DOUBLE TAPPING the home key. This is great i think users will find it great once they actually start using device.
Though you can change the button behaviour from settings just like htc one x so dont worry 2 buttons are enough for every task easily

Great week
great condo
Glad you like the new bathroom. Thank you and come again.
Not quite as good as I'd expected from the pictures and previous reviews.Not quite as good as I'd expected from the pictures and previous reviews.
I chose this condo because, from the pictures, the decor looked much nicer than other units offered in the same building.
The owner was great to work with - very responsive and answered all questions promptly.
I felt that the previous 5-star reviews were slightly misleading. This condo is kind of like me - many good qualities, but tired and in need of a face lift!
So I'm writing this review to try and give a more accurate description of both the good and not-so-great things about this condo.
I would actually rate it 3 1/2 stars if that were possible.
The biggest disappointment was the shag carpet. I assume it is original to the building, from 1974. I was happy I brought slippers and flip-flops.
Some wallpaper is peeling, there is some mold around bathtub. The dining room chairs are literally coming apart. The bathroom cabinets also date to the 70s. The master bath has "popcorn" walls.
The kitchen is nice and has been updated; stocked with more than enough items.
The living room furniture is newer and nice.
The master bedroom king size mattress was VERY comfortable.
The location and view are both very good. The balcony is large and peaceful, not too close to the pool, with a clear view of the ocean from the second floor. Some wood molding has broken off the storage door on the balcony, but the balcony furniture is in decent shape.
I found the washing maching, but could not find a dryer - maybe it was behind one of the two locked doors. Not a big deal, but would have been nice, especially if I'd stayed longer.
We only stayed 4 nights. I might shop around some more before my next Amelia visit, and I'll certainly take VRBO desciptions with a grain of salt.
Again, this owner is great to work with and hopefully will make some nice updates.
Fantastic Stay
Amelia South
All the best , Pam

Is it a good investment to use my whole retirement to buy a rental property?
HI,Rental property is probably the best buy that it has been in many years. There are a number things to consider before buying rental property. 1. How large of a home can you buy with the money.2. How strong is the rental market in your area?3. What will your total cost be on the home? Taxes, insurance, maintenance, etc.3. What can you rent the home for?4. Will you manage the property yourself or hire someone to do it for you.5. Do you have someone to do the periodic maintenance or will you need to hire some one?6. What is the estimated vacancy rate in your area?7. What is your estimated pre-tax profits on such a venture?I have a spreadsheet that will guide you through the investment analysis process. If you give me a call I can discuss it with you and then send you a copy.Sincerely,Mel Gilson707-330-8930

APNewsBreak: Iran shows UN advanced nuke equipment
On Monday, U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Iran's recent enrichment moves are increasingly suspicions.
"The Iranian nuclear program offers no plausible reasons for its existing enrichment of uranium up to nearly 20 percent, nor ramping up this production, nor moving centrifuges underground," she said. "And its failure to comply with its obligations to suspend its enrichment activities up to 3.5 percent and nearly 20 percent have given all of us in the international community reason to doubt its intentions."
The Fordow bunker facility near the holy city of Qom, Iran, is to house approximately 3,000 centrifuges. Iran's main enrichment plant near the central city of Natanz has more than 5,000 operating machines.

Hunter Commits Suicide Moments After Accidently Shooting FriendNovember 29, 2011 at 12:24 pm by kniption
Readsboro, VT - Investigators say Timothy Bolognani, 49, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound moments after discovering that he had accidentally shot and killed his friend and hunting partner, Benjamin Birch, 39.
Bolognani, Birch, and a third friend, Mark Colford, had been hunting Saturday when the incident occurred. Police investigators said that the three men were tracking a deer Birch had shot. While separated, Bolognani fired his rifle reportedly causing Birch to cry out.
State police investigators said that Bolognani and Colford found Birch lying on the ground where he died. Investigators added that Bolognani then used his rifle to immediately take his own life.
"These guys were best friends and professional hunters," Birch's mother told news reporters.
The deceased hunters were taken to the office of the Chief Medical Examiner for autopsy. According to police, no foul play is suspected.
I can certainly imagine the grief that he felt… but people need to count to ten or breathe or something. Suicide-on-impulse is just a really bad idea.…
Nurse's Aide Pleads Guilty To Abusing Elderly PatientNovember 29, 2011 at 10:49 am by Morbid
Cleveland, OH – People who abuse the defenseless absolutely sicken me, especially people like Virgen Caraballo. She was a nurse's aide trained to care for her elderly patients who, along with others at Prentiss Center Nursing Home, were caught on camera abusing an elderly woman.
Esther Piskor, 78, suffers from Alzheimer's and has been a patient at the facility for over three years. The abuse she was suffering at the hands of her caregivers came to light when her son noticed a red mark on his mother's face and the fact that she raised her hand in a defensive manner when he came towards her.
Suspecting abuse, he set up a hidden camera in his mother's room and captured 45-year-old Virgen Caraballo and other aides abusing his mother. The video clearly captured Carabello slinging Piskor on the bed or in her chair and slapping her in the face. Other video showed aides screaming at Piskor or standing by as the abuse was happening.
Caraballo was arrested and charged with felony assault along with a second nurse's aide, Maria Karban, who was caught spraying body perfume in Piskor's face. …
Angry Over Stolen Pot, Teen Kidnaps Another Teen At GunpointNovember 29, 2011 at 9:03 am by Morbid
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — I hate a thief, I truly do. But sometimes, depending on what was stolen, you really need to evaluate your best course of action. For example, kidnapping a teen at gunpoint because his friend stole your weed is probably not in your best interest.
Just ask 19-year-old Jonathon Escobar. Police say he was with a couple of other teens smoking pot when one of them grabbed his drugs and ran. Enraged, Escobar allegedly held a gun to a 14-year-old passenger's head and told him he was now responsible for paying for the drugs his friend just ran off with.
The younger boy told Escobar to relax and to take him to his mother's house where he would get him his money. The thing is, the boy's mother lived inside Kitland Air Force Base. So when they arrived at the security gate, the younger boy jumped out of the car and air force security apprehended Escobar.
He's now out of his drugs as well as facing charges of kidnapping, robbery and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.…
Man Accused Of Raping Daughter, 6, And Overnight Guest, 9November 29, 2011 at 2:13 am by Jaded
Hereford Township, PA — Not a lot of information on this one, but 39-year-old Richard Marsolick was jailed after police accused him of raping his 6-year-old daughter and her 9-year-old friend earlier this month.
According to police, Marsolick, along with his son and daughter, had checked into Cab Frye's Motel after losing power at their house due to a hellacious snowstorm on October 31.
Police say they were registered at the hotel until November 4. At some point during their stay, Marsolick's daughter had one of her friends stay with them for a night. It was during that overnight stay that Marsolick allegedly had sexual contact with both girls.
Investigators have not specified who made the accusations and under what circumstances, saying only that the allegations were just recently brought to their attention. Charges were filed after interviews with both girls.
Marsolick is being held in lieu of $750,000 bail, charged with rape, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a child, statutory sexual assault, aggravated indecent assault, incest, corruption of minors, indecent assault, endangering welfare of children, sexual assault and indecent exposure.…
Police: Man Kidnapped Hooker's Baby After Sex Act Was InterruptedNovember 29, 2011 at 1:46 am by Jaded
Seville, FL — A disgruntled and frustrated John is accused of kidnapping an ugly hooker's 1-year-old daughter after said hooker reportedly failed to "finish the job."
According to police, while at a drug and alcohol-infused party Thursday evening, Carlos Rivera, 23, paid
$2.00 an unknown amount of money to have sex with the child's mother, 30-year-old Leah Wiley. Everything was supposedly all hunky dory until Wiley was called out of the room, leaving Rivera hanging and blue.
Instead of asking the hooker for a rain-check, refund, or 50% off coupon good on his next visit, Rivera apparently decided to walk off with the woman's child at about 7:00 Friday morning. That'll teach her!
With no food, water or other provisions, police say Rivera carried the child across U.S. Highway 17 and headed north. Along the way, though, Rivera worried that he might get in trouble for disappearing with the kid, so he left her in a field near a wooded area and hitched a ride outta there. He later called 911 to report the child missing. …
Denied Beer, Man Allegedly Attacks Neighbor With HatchetNovember 29, 2011 at 1:44 am by Jaded
Marathon, FL –Maykel Borges, 32, was jailed on assault charges late last week after allegedly swinging a hatchet at a neighbor who refused to give him beer.
Witnesses told police Borges had been walking through the Trailerama mobile-home park all day Friday asking residents for beer. He was reportedly given several beers throughout the day, but when his kind neighbors had had enough and told him to go away, Borges got pissy. He left, but soon returned with hatchet in hand.
Borges apparently began arguing with people in the park upon his return, and at one point allegedly swung the hatchet at one man, cutting him on the side with it. Borges then dropped the weapon and ran.
Borges was arrested at his trailer Friday night, charged with aggravated assault and aggravated battery and booked into jail. Bond was set at $175,000.
The victim was treated at the hospital and released.
I'd spork my neighbor for an ice cold Arrogant Bastard Ale right about now. Just kiddin'…my neighbors drink Hamm's.…
Man's Call To Police: 'A Motorcycle Gang Is Holding Me Hostage At Applebee's'November 29, 2011 at 1:44 am by kniption
Carlisle, PA – Donald Gross, 36, called police to report that he was being held hostage by a motorcycle gang at the Applebee's restaurant at Carlisle Commons Shopping Mall last week. The ransom: $250.
Police responded, but were unable to find Gross or the rogue motorcycle gang. Police began a search of the area and reportedly found Gross leaving a nearby movie theater.
Police said that Gross admitted to lying about the hostage crisis. Police also determined that Gross was had an outstanding warrant on a charge of retail theft – something that they never would have known, of course, if the bonehead hadn't called them about a hostage crisis.
Carlisle police transported Gross by patrol car to Cumberland County Prison for processing during which Gross reportedly spat to such a degree that the car had to be placed out of service until it could be cleaned.
Gross, indeed.…
Utah Professor Accused Of Watching Child Porn On PlaneNovember 28, 2011 at 8:55 am by Morbid
BOSTON — A University of Utah professor was arrested on Saturday after being accused of watching child porn on his laptop while on a Delta flight from Utah to Boston.
A passenger sitting behind 47-year-old Grant D. Smith, a professor of material science and engineering, witnessed Smith watching the alleged child porn and took a picture of him with their cell phone while also notifying the flight crew.
Once the plane landed at Boston Logan International Airport, police were waiting for Smith and asked to see his laptop. After a bit of searching, police say they discovered "disturbing images of child pornography."
Smith was arrested and charged with possession of child pornography. Instead of attending a conference for the Material Research Society, the father of two was placed in jail on a $15,000 bond and was still there as of this morning. The university has placed him on administrative leave, stating he would be fired if the allegations turned out to be true.
If the accusations are true, and Smith was watching child porn on a laptop while in the first class section of a Delta airplane, then he's definitely one of the dumber criminals we have ever posted about on this site.…
Man Stabbed Himself With Meat Thermometer To See If He Was "Done"November 27, 2011 at 4:55 am by Jaded
Newport, TN — Police and paramedics were called to the home of a 38-year-old man Wednesday night in response to a rather bizarre stabbing incident – the man of the house apparently poked himself in the gut with a turkey thermometer to see if he was "done."
The man in question, Scott Kelly, was found lying on a sofa in the home with a small stab wound in his gut.
When questioned, Kelly reportedly told officers he was "basting himself" and just wanted to be left alone. He then explained that he had stuck the thermometer into his stomach "to check his temperature, and to determine if he was done or not."
Why, yes, alcohol was involved! How did you guess?
Kelly's girlfriend told police the man had consumed a fifth of liquor and eight or nine beers before jabbing himself with the thermometer. Based on that information, I'm assuming Kelly was, in fact, done. Well done, even.
Kelly was transported to the hospital for treatment and a mental evaluation.…
Man's Wife Unknowingly Foils His Kidnapping Of JoggerNovember 26, 2011 at 3:41 am by Jaded
Bethlehem, PA — A 27-year-old man is facing multiple charges after police say he tried to abduct a woman at gunpoint earlier this week.
According to police, Michael Arce approached the woman, identified as 42-year-old Sarah Brenner, as she was jogging Wednesday afternoon. Brenner told police Arce stepped in front of her and said, "I want to ask you something." She said she got scared and tried to go around him, but Arce pulled out a gun and grabbed her arm.
Brenner reported that when she screamed for help, Arce said, "Don't make a fuss or I will kill you." She said he then put her in the back seat of his BMW and hit the child-safety lock as he got into the front seat.
It was right about then that Arce's wife, Ana Arce, pulled up next to his vehicle and questioned him about the woman in the back seat. Arce reportedly told his wife that he was simply giving Brenner a ride, police said, and unlocked the back door to let Brenner out.…
Man Accused Of Severing Relative's Hand With SwordNovember 25, 2011 at 5:15 pm by Jaded
Flagstaff, AZ — Dustin Banbury, 21, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and aggravated assault Tuesday after police say he chopped off a relative's hand with a Samurai-type sword.
Deputies responding to a 911 call about a critically injured man arrived at the victim's home just before 11 p.m. and found the 33-year-old victim inside the residence with a severed right hand, numerous slash wounds to his torso and a deep laceration on his forehead. A blood covered sword was found in the man's bedroom.
Police allege Banbury and the unidentified victim were in the trailer together when the victim fell asleep. Banbury reportedly exited the trailer as the victim slept, walked to his own trailer and, for whatever reason, retrieved the sword. When he returned, sh*t got bloody.
Banbury was taken into custody at the scene and is being held without bond. The victim was flown to Flagstaff Medical Center, where he is listed in stable condition.
The motive behind the alleged attack is still unknown.

Woman Angry About Drunken Breast Grope Kills Groper With FireNovember 25, 2011 at 4:18 pm by kniption
Wangaratta, Australia – Two years ago, Kerry Anne McNiven, 44, got drunk at a party and passed out. Gary Stewart, who was reported to have been a friend of McNiven for 10 years, took unfortunate advantage of the situation and touched her breasts 'inappropriately.' According to testimony, this act was witnessed by McNiven's partner and three other people. McNiven's partner, Ray Fleming, told the other three not to tell her because he knew she would be 'upset.' A week later, the same crew was partying again. It was then that one of the three witnesses to the groping told McNiven about what Stewart had done.
Did she get upset? You decide…
According to court records, after mother-of-three McNiven was told of Stewart's actions, she filled a container with a gasoline-oil mixture and placed it inside a shopping bag she was carrying. She then invited Stewart, pictured on the right, to walk to a nearby river. When they reached the river, they sat down at a boat ramp and continued to talk and drink.…
Black Friday Shopper Pepper Sprays Rivals At WalmartNovember 25, 2011 at 4:00 pm by Jaded
Los Angeles, CA — Now that the turkey has settled, and because you couldn't pay me to set foot in a retail store today, I figured I'd get a couple stories posted before slipping back into a food coma.
In what officials are calling "shopping rage," an unidentified woman, trying to get her grubby paws on more sale items, sprayed as many as 20 other shoppers with pepper spray at the Walmart in Porter Ranch late Thursday night.
According to police Sgt. Jose Valle, store employees had brought out a crate of discounted Xbox 360s, and as the crowd waited for the unwrapping, the woman began spraying people "in order to get an advantage."
Ten people were slightly injured by the pepper spray and 10 others suffered minor bumps and bruises in the chaos, Valle said. They were treated at the scene.
"People could have gotten trampled," said Valle. "Good thing there were no small kids."
The woman apparently used the spray tactic in other areas of the store as well, but no other injuries have been reported.…
Teen Blames DUI Crash On Boyfriend Not Taking Her To See 'Twilight'November 23, 2011 at 2:12 pm by Morbid
Illinois – Police arrested an 18-year-old drunk chick who crashed her car on Saturday because, according to police, she was upset over her boyfriend not taking her to see that crappy Twilight movie.
Olivia Ornelas, 18, was charged with drunken driving and unlawful consumption of alcohol by a minor after her car was found in a ditch at 12:04 a.m. Saturday morning. The car she was trying to drive while "extremely intoxicated" was missing a front right tire.
She reportedly told deputies that she had ended up in the roadside ditch because her boyfriend had upset her when he didn't take her to see the new Twilight movie as planned.
I gotta commend the boyfriend if he bailed on this loopy broad on purpose as sometimes the vagina just isn't worth the hassle. Hell, Sofía Vergara could ask me to go to the new Twilight movie and my immediate response would be me telling her to go f*ck herself.
I know, I know… it's almost cliche to hate on Twilight.…
Groom Commits Suicide Just Hours After Saying "I Do"November 23, 2011 at 12:22 pm by Jaded
Bronx, NY — Newly married and a father of two, 28-year-old Fernando Brazier took a flying leap into the Harlem River Sunday morning, just hours after exchanging wedding vows with his long-time lover.
Brazier apparently left a suicide note at the front desk of the Radisson Hotel, where the couple had spent their first night as newlyweds, telling his wife where his body could be found.
According to police, Brazier then took a taxi to a building bordering the Bronx River, about 15 minutes away, and either jumped from the building or from the promenade behind it. His body was found near Roberto Clemente State Park, slightly upstream from where he's believed to have jumped, later that same day.
"He said [in the note] he couldn't take it anymore, and to take care of the kids," said Shawna Weeks, Brazier's sister. "He left his ring in the envelope."
Family members say Brazier had been suffering from depression in the weeks leading up to the wedding. And though he sincerely loved his bride-to-be, 26-year-old Trudian Hay, he apparently didn't want to tie the knot.…
Man Charged After Attacking Woman With A ChainsawNovember 23, 2011 at 10:27 am by Jaded
Crystal River, FL — Jeffrey Clayton Bonney, 51, is facing felony charges after allegedly beating a woman and attacking her with a chainsaw over the weekend.
Deputies were called after witnesses heard screaming and yelling coming from inside the residence Saturday. When police arrived at the home, they found the woman bleeding profusely from a cut on her arm. Her nose was swollen and her right eye had been dotted. She reportedly told police she had fallen and cut herself on a lamp. When the officers asked to speak to Bonney, he hauled ass out the back door and into the woods.
In the living room, about 8 inches away from a large puddle of blood, officers found a chainsaw with what appeared to be human hair on it. I guess the "broken lamp" story didn't fly…
Questioned again, the victim told police the gash in her arm stemmed from her attempt to protect her face when Bonney swung a chainsaw at her. She was transported to the hospital, where it took a few sutures and about 40 staples to close the wound.…
10-Year-Old Boy Shoots Mom's Attacker In Face With BB GunNovember 23, 2011 at 9:40 am by Jaded
Bellingham, WA — High-fives and major kudos to the 10-year-old boy police say defended his mother from an intoxicated and violent tenant by shooting him in the face with a BB gun as many as four times.
According to the victim, 45-year-old Paul Newman, shown here in an undated mugshot from a previous arrest, arrived home drunk and angry early Tuesday morning and found his room in disarray. Believing the woman may have had something to do with the mess, Newman reportedly kicked in her bedroom door and began choking her.
The commotion woke the woman's son, Kobe Sturgeon. He told police that when he entered his mom's bedroom, he saw the man "holding her down." So he grabbed a board and whacked Newman with it before running back into his bedroom. Newman, thinking the kid left the house, ran outside after him. Mom was close on his heels and locked the door behind him.
Police say Newman then attempted to get back into the home through an unlocked window. As the victim was trying to close and lock the window, Newman reached in a grabbed her arm, threatening to kill her and her son.…
Man Stabbed In Head With Ice Pick During Road Rage IncidentNovember 23, 2011 at 9:36 am by Morbid
Tampa, FL -- Our Facebook Page is fubar, our mobile theme is currently deactivated and people are getting script errors… it's not a great way to start my Thanksgiving holiday.
So in an effort to keep my stress levels on an even keel, I'm just going to write some stories featuring people having worse days than myself, starting with a man who picked the wrong motorist to road rage on and got an ice pick to the head as a result.
It all happened on Monday morning when 62-year-old Alcisviades Polanco reportedly cut off 20-year-old Wathson Adelson (pictured) while driving down Manhattan Avenue.
Rightfully pissed, Adelson let his road rage get the better of him and sped around Polanco, got in front of him, and then slammed on his brakes. Adelson, standing at 6-foot-3 and weighing 260-pounds, got out of his car and walked back towards Polanco, who was a few inches shorter and a hundred pounds lighter than Adelson.
The two got into an argument that turned physical and ended when Polanco stabbed Adelson in the head with an ice pick he had retrieved from his car. …

This member has provided no bio about themself...
I've been looking for a mod like this since I bought Crysis 2, Epicness
hmm, now he pointed that it its really obvious, good model besides that
this mini mod is great and all, but are you still working on the main mod?
the new one looks way better than the old one, nice work
green grass on mars?, it may look better if it were even slightly colored to the land but other than than good job
that would probably cost a bit
Level design is cool, the only problem I see thus far is you overkilled the bloom. Try making it a little less? might look better
ive read your concept artist job application, if you do the world modeling who does the code and the actual character models?
i noticed in the online comics there are numerous different animals, will these be in the game or only rabbits/wolfs?
uhh why is she getting naked for our downloads?
that server has been greifed to ****
BUG: when you throw a grenade into where the zombies spawn the games crashes when the nade should blow up
uhhh, wheres the ammo go????
omfg this is awesome, I want download
this looks awesome!
Will it cycle through a few weps when they are made?
the textures are good, look at nazi zombies port, their random box looks the same
ur games lookin really cool, keep up the good work
man this gun is so thin, this cant be the final model right?
dont worry i found out
What program do you use to make your soundtrack?
These are the best gun models ive seen, cant wait for textured
In this are you shooting enemys with guns or other things like zombies, monsters ect?
Omg that main theme is one of the best ive heard in a while, tracking
I agree with werty, a joystick like cod zombies on the ipod would be easier to control PS: Awesome Icon :D
this indie looks so cool even tho I discovered it 5 mins ago
i agree, what do you use to model these guns?
thoes models are so detailed
cant wait for this to get more developed, tracking :D
did you make the ship yourself?
That character is super awesome
we all know you just dont wanna pay up
Sweet, is gunna be on the DS!
looks like a crab droid off star wars
wow... love the models
the frag grenades are a bit laggie when they blow up, other than that really cool
this game would be alot cooler if the explosions were more advanced than just white diffuse balls

Photos of our completed half-house renovation
I'll try to keep this short but let me know if you have any questions or anything.
First of all, I want to say that everyone on this forum was incredibly helpful and supportive while we were renovating our house and I feel bad it took me so long to post any pictures.
Quick backround. Our house is a 1938 cottage that was sort of Cape Code style (but mostly just cobbled together by our former neighbor who was the builder). We bought it in 2002 as a three bedroom/one bathroom. We've since turned the downstairs bedroom into a den/office type room. It had been last renovated (just the inside) in about 1990 (some good decisions and some very bad decisions). I honestly can't remember the square footage but I think it's about 1,500 square feet.
The renovation started with a leaky roof. Several contractors and roofing companies told us it was a bad design (there were weird mini dormers that met the gable at an angle that just held water) and the only real solution was redesigning the roof. And it just sort of blew up from there. We did not add any square footage in the renovation, just raised the roof to create more useable square footage (by the way, that's an interesting one to sell to the bank when asking for a loan).
Enough talk. Onto the pictures.
Here's the plan (we found a designer who is not a licensed architect but is able to do plan drawings for construction and permitting who our contractor recommended who charged us $700 total. A local architect wanted $10,000 to do the same thing).
Here's the front before (the day we started, so our crap for the dumpster was still on the patio):
And after. Adding the gable/portico over the front door was key to the design and I can't tell you how many people told me that was a bad idea:
Here's the "back" (it's really the side) before:
After (I did all of the landscaping, including laying that stone path and the garden stacked retaining walls, myself):
Master bedroom before:
Master after. We put in the bamboo floors ourselves, added a small walk-in closet and designed and painted the built-ins (I've finally finished sewing the window seat cushion as well):
I don't think I have a pic of the guest bedroom before (it was painted the most unfortunately shade of yellow), and honestly I've done very little in this room (sort of hoping it won't remain a guest bedroom for long). But here's the after, sort of.
Here's the hallway by the bedrooms before .. it just led to this weird low dormer (pay special attention to that hideous wall texture ... we're getting to that):
And after, going into the new bathroom that didn't exist before:
Here's the bathroom (we salvaged the door from my grandparents house, which was torn down shortly before we started this project. I loved refinishing it and seeing all the colors it had been painted over it's life):
I designed the vanity and built-ins and had them built and we have more storage than we can currently use. Nice problem to have. This room is only 8x8.
One of the little surprises that arose was that we realized the roof over the rest of the house (the living room) was sagging significantly. So we made the decision to rip down the ceiling and shore up the roof from the inside. This was a massive hit on the budget and time line but gave me a reason to rid myself of that AWFUL wall texture. It was in every room of the house (and still lurks in a couple rooms we've not touched yet) and it turns out that it was just drywall mud slapped on and was so heavy that it was part of the reason the roof was sagging.
So here's what it looked like when we dropped the ceiling:
Here's the living room before:
And after (I'm in the middle of changing around the furniture and color scheme right now though):
The other big project was adding the deck (see the back after picture above). It was the last thing to do and because we were over budget we almost dropped it. Thank goodness we didn't. It has really extended our living space and we use it all the time. The pergola serves no functional purpose other than making me happy :). We added a sliding glass "French" door to the den/office (former master) to access the deck as well. The back door to the kitchen which opens on the deck is our main entry to the house.
We went to great lengths to preserve character details, such as having matching paneling made for the upstairs hallway to replace what had been there before. I also added little touches like glass doorknobs that are appropriate to the period of the house. Otherwise we just took our design cues from what was already in the house (i.e. moldings, window style, etc.) We did almost all the painting and did the bamboo floors in the bedrooms ourselves to help the budget. We still went over by about 25%, which became a stretch because we only took out the loan for 10% over the bid. Fortunately we had a good cushion in our savings.
There are more details on my blog at http://www.theimpatientgardener.com/p/cottage.html but feel free to ask any questions if you have some.
For those of you undergoing renovations right now, let me assure it, it is all worth it in the end. It might not seem like it in the middle, but give it time and you'll forget the pain and just love the result.
'Adding the gable/portico over the front door'
you need to stay away from crazy people - can't imagine thinking that wasn't a good idea!
I remember you working on the builtins - it looks like it all turned out great.
glad it's over for you now - hope you're enjoying it
Okay, you need to post this over on the Home Decorating forum,too. They would love to see it, if they don't frequent Smaller Homes. I can't believe how pretty the house has become. You did a wonderful job inside and out, very talented. Thanks for sharing.
What a gorgeous transformation. You made it SO much bigger and better. You have some very well thought out designs and I love that you were able to use a door from your grandparent's house. I love the stone sidewalk and am so impressed that you did it yourself. I'd like to know how you did it sometime.
Thank you all for the nice comments! It feels good to have other people appreciate it too. We love everything and the only decisions we regret are the ones we were talked into by other people at the end of the project and they are all exterior issues:
1. I don't like where the shingle-style siding ends. To me it should be lower. Our contractor talked us out of it. We actually bought extra shingles to fix it, but we haven't done it yet. Still, they all told me, "Give it a month and you won't notice." But you know what? I notice it every single day and it bugs me every single day.
2. The posts and risers on the deck are cedar that is smooth on one side and rough on the other. I wanted to use the smooth side out but everyone told me "No one does that. I've never heard of that," so we put the rough side out. Huge mistake. Dog hair sticks to it like glue. It's a total pain.
3. There was a miscommunication on the back stairs. We wanted an extra step to lower the rise a little for our aging dogs, but two steps were added so the rise is REALLY short and now the dogs hate it even more. Fail.
wi-sailorgirl, what a wonderful place to live! if it were a B&B I would want to come and stay!!! what part of the country is this? I am assuming it is on the east coast somewhere. i am in southern ca and there isn't property out here like that.
You did a beautiful job. i love everything! the garden is lovely too.
"I wanted to use the smooth side out but everyone told me "No one does that. I've never heard of that"
I don't understand this either. I'd want the smooth side out - only makes sense to me. I know about the dog hair - the banister of my old steps had a cut/chip in it and there's a tuff of puppy hair stuck to it where she bumped against it.
the rise and run of steps are very important - didn't those guys have a step guideline to go by anyway? the steps comfortable for me and (were for) my old girl have a 6.5 -7" rise and about a 9" (or more) run. I'd have to recheck them... that makes them not steep!
do that shingle project down the road. Make it the way you want it - no matter what anyone else says.
and when they say 'no one does that...', tell them you aren't 'no one'!
it does look absolutely lovely tho!
Go-figure ... believe it or not, this is southeastern Wisconsin, but I'm not unhappy that you guessed it might be East Coast. We're about 500 feet from Lake Michigan, with a row of houses between us and the lake. One of the unexpected benefits of putting all those windows in the bedrooms is that when the leaves are off the trees we have a view of the lake!
Desertsteph, our oldest Newfoundland just turned 9 so we may no choice but to revisit that step issue. Basically what happened was that my husband told them we wanted 6 steps and he was including the step up to the deck level. The contractor built them with 6 steps not including the step up to the deck level, so we ended up with 7 (well by our thinking anyway). By the time we got home that day they were finished and we were so late in the project we just didn't have any fight in us anymore.
wow! that must be some view! is it from the deck or the front door area?
I do know about not having any 'fight' left. Many times I've just said 'oh well, it'll be fine' and been grateful anything got done at all.
I know my eyes are bad but I count about 9 steps - am I off that much? yikes... I need new eyeballs!
my old girl did good up til the last few months on my regular steps at the old place - they had a low rise and a deep run area. that made for shallow steps. the new place had steeper steps and she couldn't do those. I tried carrying her up and down a few times but with my bad back and arm it was just too dangerous to continue. It would end up hurting both of us if I fell. the last few months on the other steps she had more trouble going up than down. Going up I started to stand 'over' her (her body between my legs) so if she wavered I could 'catch' her with my legs and prevent her from falling over on the concrete. Her little body was very frail and boney by then (16 yrs old).
wi-sailorgirl-what a beautiful job you did. I especially like the side of the house with the garden path. The master bedroom looks fabulous now w/ all those windows(I love built-ins & window seats).
