Plane Late!
We decided to leave home at 10:15 am, a short drive to Roanoke Airport, but by the time we park, check in, go thru security, it's nice to not stress about time. It is 39 degrees but a bright sunny day!

Summers and Harry Worrell
Two days in Roanoke.
Surprised Harry at work on Tuesday, Nov 18. *giggling* thanks Matt!! yes, Matt was the one that instigated it. You just can't trust that Cat in the funny hat! LOL
Awesome meeting Harry. What fun! Too bad you can't come out tonight, but at least I got my hug. ;-)

Well, if the darkening forest wasn't incentive enough, the idea of tipping del more and more each minute we made him wait was pushing us to walk quicker than we had for the whole day. Luckily we bumped into some weird people who enjoy camping in the mountains at night, who told us there was a fire road which would take us down much quicker. We followed this route instead of risking twisting ...

Planting Strawberries in Large Container
mzcountrychicApril 16, 2014
I have a large rubber horse watered that I plan on using to plant strawberries in. It is very large and deep. I have heard that the bottom can be filled with empty water bottles, so as not to use so much potting soil. Anyone have any experience or advice to offer?

SIR i fully agree with u. u r absolutely right.
mashah Allah zaberdast…Allah apk kawasoo ko qabool karay..apko apni hifzo amaan may rakay aaameen..
zindagi mein pehli dafa oreya jaan ney koi achi baat ki hey..mein is sey muttafiq hoon or apney qauid sey multamis hoon k is barey mein intahai sanjeedagi sey socha jaey..or amal kiya jaey…
I think its not first time….orya is a great human being as well as a writer…he always says good things
Hadd kar dee apne.. " pehli baar achi baat kee hai" yeh thora namunaasib hai
I think she is trying to say that: "zindagi Mai penlight baar Orya ki baat samajh aie hai!"
I think she is trying to say that: "zindagi mai pehli baar Orya ki baat samajh aie hai!"
i m also suporter of PTI> but u r 1000% true….. IMRAN bhai….kindly re think on this matter very seriously…its the step towards nation building
why are you using english to respond dear urdu lover, remember, these were the same people who strongly condemned loud speakers, photocopiers and all the stuff that is now extensively used in your DEEN. aysay padhay likhay jahilon nay tu pakistan ko es muqam tak pohunchaya hay
ajeeb jawab tha aapka…ye alfaaz sun sun ke mere kaan pak gae hn….. Orya Maqbool sahab ne ye to nai kaha ke elam ko ban kardo.. ye to nai kaha ke angrezon ke tajrbaat se faida na uthao… ye kaha ke ilam apni zubaan me sekhne do bachon ko… isme loudspeaker or photocopy kahan se beech me agae???
Agreed. I also got primary education in local sindhi language which strenthened my base. I learrned to speak English after 8th class and now am so good at this language such that I have left behind a lot of A nd O levellers.
Mr. Erudite
This is the education that u received even u do not know how to dialogue with others specially about ur elders. Definitely your father and mother r also annoyed from your this way of talkiiong..
Nothing has changed ur eduction. you seem to be Jahil Mutlik.
Dil khush kia,, Cheetay ho app,,,
We are using English as this comment form doesn't support Urdu. Writing roman urdu doesn't appeal all.
Regarding your second comment about loudspeaker and stuff you are mixing up two very mutual exclusive points. Everyone learns from their mistake and so did Ulemas. Remember you first crawled before walking.
nice Sir
Men Orya sab se agree karta hon aur jis khobsorati se unon ne is ki wazahat ki ha iss se logon ko samjana chahye.
salam…mera beta DPS main parhta hy abhi class 2 main…uska course dekhta hon to mera zehan ghom jata jata hy k yar jo chezain ham nay matric level tak sekhin thin wo bachon ko class 2 main kesay aa sakti hain..buhat preshan rahta hon k sarkari schols man hota kuch nahi bachy ke adat kharab hon ge private waly ye course lay k bethy hain akhir ham kidhar jain hamar qasor kia hay….en ko elect karty hain kuch khwab dekh kar lakin bad main hota kuch aur he hay….imran kitny daway aur kitni barhkain marta tha lakin usay bhi pata chal jana chahye k es mulk main asal hukmaran koi aur hoty hain….kam az kam wo barhkain mar kar awam ko bewaqof banana chor dain….

Janab , zabardast , mere khayal men hmen Arabi Zuban b seekhni chahiye , Lakin zariya-e-taaleem apni qoumi zuban he hone chahiye , English ko b zuban ki hadd tak seekhna chahiye , jadeed Halaat aise ker diye gae hen k har aik ko apni kamyabi English men nazar aati hai , jo k aanay wale waqt men boht afsosnaak nataij de gi , men aap ki baat se poora poora itefaq kerta hun
i live in islamabad and do govt job.sir u r right but ur thoughts should be implemented all over Pakistan not only in KP. I am a position holder in mathematics. belongs to KP and got my early education from govt Urdu/Pashto medium schools and colleges. but after my first class first potsition Msc i was unbalbe to get very good teaching job in private sector due to my poor english and also failed in GRE and GAT type tests to get good scholarships for higher studies. ideally ur theory for any nation is the best but in present a large very hard worker and comppetent part of our educated youth fails to get any higher position in cival services and other sectors due to lack of English ability. because in our country, in the last when u give a test for a job, it is in engish, interview in englsh and when u join a job, every thing in files, in meetings and presentations is in Englsih along wih english dressing….
Why are you not reading and teaching mathematics and its formulas contributed by Orya Malayeq Jan's father in urdu to the discipline. From the past, these monsters have tried to Islamize science and now they are trying to Pakistanize knowledge.

Truly inspirational and thought provoking my dear Sir. May Allah open our eyes minds and lead us to think the same way.
Mein apki bat Se itt-e-faq krta hon.
sehi kaha aap ne. Takhleeqi salahiyat mein 30% kami 1 buhot bara qaumi nuqsaan hai
Thanks for writing this article for Khan Sb. I hope Khan will read it and think about it.
well Said sir…
I have been regularly reading and listening to Orya Maqbool Jan Saheb and he one of the few people in Pakistan who has been trying his best in telling our Nation where we are going wrong and I know that is a very slow process but I am confident that as long as people like Orya Maqbool Jan are amongst us we will be able to fulfill our destiny for which Pakistan was created
Bilkul main iss bat say ittefaq krti hoon sir us ki wajah yuhi hai jin qoamo nay trAqee ki hai apni zuban main hi ki hai ★ ★ ★ frech apni zuban k leya ★ ★ deewanay hain
Arre ho samba
Jane kon chakky ka atta katy han ya Lahore k log jo etni seyani baten karte han
Great Man Orya Maqbool Jan He is absolutely right Orya Sab ZIndabaad
Sir, App nay jo likha bilkul theekh likha agar taraqi karni ha tou urdu mei ho
If we want to Lead the world then syllabus should be in Urdu
If we want to Read then english
Brilliant Mr. Maqbool Jan Brilliant
I agree with Mr. Maqbool Jan Statement 100%.
When a child gets birth after few months he learns mother language (Pashto, Panjabi, Balochi, Bravi etc) when he is admitted in school learns urdu then english in rata system from not well qualified teachers with the burden of many books. so how he will be able to learn many subjects which are the kichri of urdu and english.
I agree will u sir.
I can't understand, that why u blame Imran khan.
U shld keep in mind the development of Singapore,
U shld see India's status who adopted English, and now they hav reached at the stage of worth seeing state, by promoting their education level, and every sector of education, economic, scientific, and the most inspiring sector of media & culture, for their diaspuras in whole the world. The counter flow of south's towards north. It is all about due to adopting English medium and they learned all this in English. Now a days common people of Pakistan are unable to even interact with Indians due to lack of knowledge & education. In Pakistan there is no any book in Urdu for higher level of study. All material is available in the market written/intrpratd by Indian authors in any discipline of education. I'm sorry Mr. Maqbool that why u wrote this stuff, it is ur opinion and u shld not impose this to the ignorant people who are deprived in all aspects as well as in English or even Urdu medium.
yes, absolutely u r right sir but u av to give them suggestion as well what they need to do, because i believe v need to understand our enemies as well…..
I 50% agreed with 50% not b.coz our nation is having the complex of high class community education that why Ik took this step. We do not like start education of our children's from GOVT. Schools we always prefer in English medium schools. This is the one the main cause of low literacy rate of Pakistan. Secondly private school system is destroying our education system you can easily more than 30 different private schools they running only due English medium logo.
Bohat aala, jamay oar pur taseer…
Aik guzarish, kia kabi adliya ko kaha hay k wo muqaddamo ki karwaai oar faisla urdu me likhay oar sunaaye…
Sir, yahan aaway ka aawa hi bigrra hua hay…aap kis kis se larren gay
ALLAH apko apni hafazat me rakhay oar dono jahan ki aasaniyan ata farmaye. Aameen
Although I am a big fan of Imran Khan and his policies. But I totally disagree with his this step. I live in Abbottabad and hope that Mr. Khan will definitely review his policy. Otherwise we will not transfer our children from private schools to government schools.
Its totally true. Ye ghulami and ghulam zahen ki nishani he. English me parhny se taraqqi nahi hoti. English sekho magar English humko nijat and taraqqi nahi dyskta. mahnat hum karty nahi and english me parh k taraqqi karna chahty hein jst
Yasir bhai y urdu! Urdu bhe tu pashtuns ke apni zuban nahe! Y not Pashtu then. English is better than Urdu for pashtuns! Kyu becharo ko 3 languages mai trap kar rahey ho! English official language bhe hai so urdu seek key pashtun ko kya faida hoga bhai!
buht hi achi aur twuh talb bat he.hamain is pe yakinan gor krna chahiy
I think there is confusion on Perviaz Khattack statement , In reality KPK education will have education in Urdu medium with English as a compulsory language till 8th class , after 8th it will be in english
ابھی کچھ لوگ باقی ہیں جہاں میں!
بجا فرمایا پیر و مرشد۔
Dear Mr. Jan
Assalam Allekum
It is very easy for us to criticize. But how many times we step out of our comfort zones to bring change in our society.
Please do not forget the fact that English is already our medium of instruction for over a century. I agree with you that a foreign language is not a good option. But IK is not responsible for it. He has tried to bridge gap between an already existing elite class and those who stand no chance. Now either you make urdu as medium of instruction in the whole country or you can not expect it in just one province. This is our limitation sir. And it is not just language. Look around you and see how many changes we have brought to our societies which are not inherited from our english masters. Even i am sure that your kids and the kids of your kins would be following english education and not urdu. Because you know that they stand no chance otherwise.
Dear sir, i respect your ideas but we should not look at things out of context. I myself wish to see a system of education in our own language. But like many other things we are captive of our limitations which we can not out grow so easily.
Hope i have made my point of view clear.
Well said Mr Shahid. Loud ur voice more.
I was thinking that who and how Imran will b criticised regarding impressive educational policy. Now u can c how cleverly ik is under attacked by these so called opinion leaders, who r not in favour of naturally growing leader of Pakistan. Actually English medium is not the basic problem
Agree with u sir !!! I Salute you !!
Sir you are Great you are 100% right sir but hamare mulk khudadad -e-Pakistan main english kuch lazmi si ho gai hai for Example hamari her sata ki Courts , tamam city ke Hospitals , Schools , Multinational company's , office's , custom office's ,hotels her jagha english lizmi ker di gai hai sir app hi koi solution dain kiss tarhan yai english khatum ho sakti hai her jagha se
Why we are not reading and teaching mathematics and its formulas contributed by Orya Nalayeq Jan in urdu to the discipline. From the past, these monsters have tried to Islamize sciences and now they are trying to Pakistanize knowledge. Someone tell this pseudo-intellectual that Imran Khan government is in Pakhtunkhwa province where Pashto is the majority language rather than Urdu. While learning Urdu, we are facing the same obstacles your kids are facing in learning English.
iss mulk k hukmran uss waqt tak aam onsaan ki takleef ko nahi samaj sakty jab tak k wo hukmran b in ki tara k mahole me paly barren
Hamara Nizaam-e-taleem b bohat kharab ha iss sy hamari nahi balky angrezon ki saqafat jhalkti ha
true said
sir i fully agree with you,you said absolutely right
Sir may ap sy agree b karta hn or kise had tak agree b nai karta…wo s lia k mojuda halat ko mad e nazar rak k agar daika jay to internationally english he use hota hay…. aaj k dowr may agar tarakki karni hy to us k lia english ak bunyad ka kirdar ada karta hay…rahi bath urdu ke to kindly ap b thora socheya k 1947 sy hum log urdu he seek rahy hy or use b kar rahy hay….aaj tak ak b subay nay tarakki k konsy records kaim kar lia jo abi s english ke waja sy wahi tarakki ruk jay ge….maira suggestion yahi hy k KPK k logon ny vote dia hy change k lia…s lia kuch b kehna abi qabal az wqt hay….jub 1947 sy log aa rahy hy or ja rahy hy tu s lia PTI ko b 5 Saal ka arsa pora karny dy…na k logon py tanqeed he tanqeed kia jay.
maafi chahti hon main aap ki iss baat se mutafiq nhi hon k philosophy science aur deegar aloom arabon main nhi thy… kiya aap ne Imam Jaffer Sadiq a.s k bary main nhi perha ya suna jinhon ne taqreeban her qism k ilm k mutaliq apny shagirdon ko tayar kiya wo konsa ilm nhi tha jo Imam ne nhi sikhaya plzzz Imam Jaffer Sadiq a.s ki zindagi k mutaliq kitabon ka mutaliya kijiye ta'aky aap ko haqeeqat maloom ho
Wow such a meaningful article……..
Great roya sir.
yes thats right without any doubt but y did u address only Khan? this is a thing needs to be done countrywide..dont u see the syllabi mein tu wasay Inna Lillah parh chuka hoon aur mujhe aglay 20 se 25 saal baad Urdu ka nam o nishaan bara hi mubham sa dikhayi deta hai..bt still v can do something at this time to prevent our beloved Urdu's extinction.
I will completely disagree with you sir! In my opinion it should be our first language (pashtu). If not than it should be our official language which is English. Agar dosri zuban mai taleem hasel karna he hai tu why not English, Urdu ka tu koyeh tuj he nahe banta bcz official language is English. Why pashtun should get trap in 3 languages! 1 st priority is Pashtu 2 nd is English. Urdu seek key kya paida hoga!
Imran khan wants everyone to go for same language. In Pakistan every legal document or any higher education is in english and more over english is global language so to get better jobs and for future its time to learn english. If higher education is in english so better to starts from primary.
بہت خوب جی جب تک آپ جیسے قلم ساز موجود ھیں امید کی کرن باقی ہے
aorya sahab mai ap se itefaq karta hoo ,hamary sooby mai angrizy ko buhot hi ahmait dya jata hai ,kisi teacher ,officer ya police walo se guftago mai toraa sa angrize boloo to ap ko buhot ahmyat dya jayega,,
ap sahee kah rahy hy inshallah hum imran ko english ko english subject or hamari taleem ko hamari he zaban may rakhaen gy.
Scholars like Orya MaqbulJan should give advices to Imran Khan.
Agreed, prob ye ha k agar aik province main urdu ho aur baqi sab main engg to phir bohat difference aa jaye ga, agar pooray country main ho phir theek ha
Mr Shahid Alvi gave a very nice reply to Orya Maqbool jan.Pakistan is in a state of war.IK is ruling in just one province.Scholars like Orya Maqbool jan should come forward n take the responsibilty if they want change at massive scale.Its not only the Pakistan of IK so scholars should come forward to contribute.Every thing should not be left to IK n his team.
right…..koi bhi qoam apni saqafat aur tehzeeb se hat jaye to wo taraqi ki bjaye pasti ki taraf jati hy….
taraqi k liye aloom ko apni zaban ma translate krna hoga…ma khud engg ka student hn aur mera 70% time english ki presentations aur report tyar krny ma lagta hy…to ma takhliqi kam kia khak kronga.
humaray hukmaranon ko is k baray ma tasli se sochna hoga aur baray faislay krny hongay…agr…agr wo is mulk aur qoam ko oper ly k jana chahtay hn
Respected Orya,
I am agree with you 100% we are as an overseas Pakistani supporting Imran Khan just to restore our values our language our culture our heroes respect but unfortunately he is doing same thing like other slavery mind peoples. We will continue our support until better option.
i personally agree 99% with OMJ's thoughts, But here, first we have to learn English to translate the Literature into Urdu. That's what India is doing. What if 4 millions out of 220 m students are graduated. 4 m is still a big asset. Today the students of Pakistan's # 1 Engineering University watch Indian University Lecturers. Besides learning in English language, they don't lack innovation & creativity. Their Books are taught at graduation level in BE and MBBS in top universities of Pakistan and all around the world.
I take Imran Khan as my Leader, However here I agree with Janaab Orya Maqbool Jan saheb. Main inh ki uss baat se bhi ittifaaq karta hoon kay as language "URDU, ENGLISH & ARABIC" zaroor parhai jain magar tamam nisaab ya zariya-e-taleem URDU hee hona chahiyay… Mera taluqq KPK se tau nahi magar main tausamjhta hoon nai generation ko appni saqaffat main waapis lanay kay liyay KPK main kum se kum 6th ya 8th takk tau Pushto as Language honi chahiyay, kyun kay humain appnay asal Pathan Shuara, Qalmkaar aur Adeebob se hammara culture bhi next generation ko transfer ho….
I heard one Punjabi song…
"Harr boli sikho, sikhni wee chahidi
Parr Pakki waikh kay Kacchi nai Dhaidi
Wadiiyan de hondi waddi baat sajna… Tay Bhuliyaun na apni Auqaat Sajjna"
Kaiser Raja
Assalam.o.alaikum sir men bilkul mutafiq hn apki bat sy, in sb cheezon sy hmari zuban hmari saqafat py phly he kafi asar para hy, hm log apni bat men urdu kam or english zayada istamal krty hen or aksar to hmen boht sy alfaz ka pta he nhi hta k urdu men kesy bola jaye.. or phr is bat per fakhar kiya jata hy.. or private schools men to oxford ki books parhai ja rahe hen, har koi bs bhag dor men laga hwa h, smjh aye na aye bs yad krna h. ghar waly bhi fakhar krty hen k hmara bcha english seekh raha hy.or is sub ki wja sy bachon ko urdu na to achy sy parhni ati h or na he likhni. ALLAH PAK humen hidayat den aameen.
Urdu humari quomi zaban hai. Sindhi, Punjabi, Balochi, Kashmiri, Pushto humari ilaaqai zabanein hain, Arabic humari deeni zaban hai, aur English aik international zaban hai… To phr taleem urdu me honi chaye, arabic me ya phr kisi ilaaqai zaban me. Ya phr logon ko choice milni chaye, in sab k darmian… This is little too confusing, In pakistan there are many people who dont understand urdu as they use their regional languages. What about them?? Too much confusion .. I guess… None the less English is extremely important , as world is now becoming a global village and one needs to interact with all sorts of people.
Mohtarma Sania Khan aur Erudite ap ne jo bhi comment kia is mein ap logon ka qasur nahi mri aap se darkhawst hai k aap Orya Sahib k kaalimo ka majmua " Harf-e-Raaz" ka mutalia karen. Mri Allah se dua hai k Wo aap donu ko Haq ki pehchaan naseeb farmaey.. aamin
Allah Kary "Zor-e Qalam" or Ziada.
meny kafi logon k comments parhy hen jo k zayada tar yehe keh rahy hen k india ny to english ki wja sy taraqi hasil ki h, or pushto ya koi or zuban istamal hni chahye to bat ye h k urdu ko qaumi zuban ki hasiyat hasil h agar koi or qaumi zuban hti to yaqeenan uski baqa k liye bhi koshish ki jati.. or jahan tk bat h k english ki wja sy taraqi hasil ki ja sakti h to phr china jesa taraqi yafta mulk apny logon ko english men taleem hasil karny ka kun nhi kehta.. unho ny dosry zuban ki kitabon ko apni zuban men tabdeel kiya or abhi bhi isi trhan taleem hasil kr rahy hen . china k president aj bhi kahen jaty hen to wo chinese men he taqreer krty hn jisko bad men translate kiya jata h. arab waly bhi kahen jaty hen to urdu ya angrezi sekh k nahi jaty blky apni zuban istamal krty hen.. and Mr. Gul Wazir why don't u change mathematics formulas in pushto that is easy to understand for u.. it's all about our country's dignity on international level not on provincial level..
lekin aik or confusion bhi hai agar english ko nhi apnaya jata to pushto or urdu mai sai kis ka intikhab kia jai
whats the solution to this pathetic situation,ye tou marz ke nishan dehi hai,ilaaj kia hei, a solid solution??

The District's unemployment rate is at a "nearly record high" of 11.1 percent, V. Dion Haynes reports in the Post. In February 1983, city unemployment peaked at 11.6 percent. "This is concerning," said Benjamin Orr, a Brookings Institution expert. An unemployment rate that high, he said, "is a difficult position not only for the District, but you have to think about all those people behind the numbers and how they're dealing with being unemployed."

The Police have not yet made any arrest in the killing of Narendra Dabholkar, five days after the eminent rationalist was shot dead that sparked an outrage and prompted the Maharashtra government to go in for an anti-superstition and black magic ordinance.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan said on Sunday the investigations had not yet led to any arrests though the police had got some clues regarding the killing of 69-year-old Dabholkar here on Tuesday.
"There is a progress in the investigation and police have got certain clues. But they have not yet led to any arrests in the case," he told reporters here.
Mr. Chavan said apart from nabbing the actual killers of Dabholkar, it was also important to find out the elements behind the dastardly attack.
Police had formed 19 teams to crack the case and the progress of investigations was reviewed on Saturday by Maharashtra Director General of Police Sanjeev Dayal, he added. A sketch of one of the two alleged assailants was also released by police.
"This (the murder) is a very serious incident in which the assailants tried to silence the voice of an independent thinker," the Chief Minister added.
Dabholkar, who was in the forefront of anti-superstition movement in the state, was shot dead by two motorcycle borne unidentified assailants at around 7.15 am, when he was out for a morning walk on the Omkareshwar temple bridge in Pune.
Four shots were fired at him from close range by the attackers believed to be in the age group of 25-30.
The assent to the anti black magic and superstition ordinance was given by Maharashtra Governor K. Sankaranarayanan on Saturday.
The angry protests sparked by Dabholkar's killing prompted the Maharashtra government to clear an ordinance to enforce the anti-superstition bill he had championed for years.
Dabholkar had drafted the Anti-Superstition and Black Magic Bill over a decade ago, but it repeatedly failed to get through the State Legislature.
The Bill had proposed that those indulging in black magic or preying on peoples' superstitions be jailed for up to seven years. It also sought to ban a range of practices including black magic, animal sacrifice and magical remedies to cure ailments.
The bill would be taken up for passage during the winter session of state legislature at Nagpur in December.
Accusing the Maharashtra government of being lax in arresting Dabholkar's assilants, Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray said it was bent on "maligning" image of Hindu organisations by linking them to the killing.
"The perpetrators of Dabholkar's murder are still at large as police have failed to nab them even five days after the incident. We warn government to refrain from linking Hindu organisations to the murder and maligning their image," he told a party rally in Nashik.

xps and rim
I was reading thru some posts re: XPS and the RIM.
Lets make sure we are talking about the same thing. My XPS will sit against the concrete. The top ledge of the concrete has the framing of the house resting on it...ie the joists sit here and run from one side of the basement to the other resting on an I beam in the middle. Is this waht you are talking about? I have fg insulation is all my joists throughout the basement...ie under the 1st floor. Its also in the nooks and crannies where the joists rest on top the concrete. Are you suggesting I remove the fg here and barracade the area with XPS? What is the down side to NOT doing that...1)its a lot of work and 2) what if I ever need wiring or piping run thru one of those....also a bunch of those have piping or dyer ducts etc running thru them already and that would be tough to XPS around....even a fire hazard no...plus would you not need to drywall over all those 16"w pieces?
The 2x6 sitting atop the concrete foundation is the sill plate. The lumber that closes the space between the joists off from the outside is the rim joist. It's necessary to have this area insulated, but just as important is sealing air leaks, which this area is very prone to. Fiberglass insulation does not prevent air flow, and air flow almost renders fiberglass completely ineffective as an insulator. XPS is an effective air barrier if installed correctly, but as you pointed out, that's difficult and time consuming in this area. I had the entire perimeter sill plate/rim joist area spray foam insulated prior to finishing the basement. I used fiberglass to insulate the rest of the floor/ceiling area, and XPS for walls and floor.
I see. So by adding the XPS to my walls I am in effect contributing to the warmth of my basement. I can get it warmer by better insulating this rim joist area.
Now, Technically, the air/water vapour goes thru the rim joist into the home. I would think XPSing the rim joist area leaves a pocket where the air/water vapour gets in. It can not get into the basement though anymore since it hits the XPS. Would it not however become a mold / water issue for the rim joist and surrounding beams in the pocket. Are you saying the XPS get shoved all the way to the back against the rim joist...again this sounds like it could lead to water mold issues on the joist?
It would seem the house needs to breath somewhat down there no....
Any foam at the rim and between the joists is supposed to be covered by a 15 minute thermal barrier. Drywall on the ceilings and walls can serve as that barrier. However, where the basement is only partially finished, spray coatings can be used as well, even one now that claims to go on as easily as paint.
Or you can forget the XPS altogether and instead use a fibrous insulation and a "smart" vapour barrier such as Membrain.
Whatever you do, seal carefully and insulate the above-grade portion of the walls, as they can account for 30% of the heat loss you would experience from the entire basement wall. (See link at p.7)
Here is a link that might be useful: Basement Insulation Systems
Though I notice other builders limit the spray to enough to block airflow, I fill the cavity to the thickness needed for the R Factor I'm looking to achieve.
pice:I&S Insulation Inc.
(This is not an endorsement of the above insulator.)
Here is a link that might be useful: Spray Insulation Pictures
I'm not clear what table your referring to. The one I most commonly see for the US is this one from the Department of Energy.
The edge of slab is not the same as the rim joist. The rim joists should be protected by the same R-factor as the walls they're part of.
Is the purpose of XPS in the rim joist to provide insulation against the winter cold coming in, or is it to warm the wall to prevent condensation from forming due to the warmer inside? What impact might I see from the gaps and edges that I cannot seal properly?
Several of the rim joist bays are deep and run three feet or more out from the house. The floor of the bay runs parallel to the ground. Can I use left over XPS strips to insluate the floor of the bay or should I cut a new piece to fit? The strips will have gaps that I cannot reach to seal.

Best Power Couple (2011)
Roy and Lea Black
When your husband's profession depends on a steady influx of criminals needing legal representation, hosting a charity event to raise funds to help juvenile offenders stay on the right side of the law is no way to increase business. But criminal defense attorney Roy Black and his wife Lea understand that true socialites make time to look out for children at risk of being chewed up by an ambivalent, failing criminal justice system. For the past 17 years, the Blacks have hosted an annual star gala that raises millions of dollars for Consequences Charity and Foundation, which uses the donations to fund education programs for more than 7,500 at-risk youths. With 100 percent of the proceeds going to the charity, guests are more than willing to generously pony up $10,000 per plate. The fundraiser usually features a surprise performance by a famous entertainer, such as Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees or Pharrell Williams. During Lea's starring stint on The Real Housewives of Miami, television audiences across the nation got a glimpse of the Blacks' celebrity Rolodex when rapper Rick Ross casually dropped by their home for a visit. Roy and Lea began dating following William Kennedy Smith's acquittal of rape charges in the early '90s. Roy represented Smith, and Lea was a juror. They married in 1994.

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals' Michael Bidwill not worried about bullying in team's locker room
Bullying in the NFL?
The recent events surrounding Miami Dolphins offensive tackle Jonathan Martin, who took a leave from the team last week after allegations of bullying surfaced, have shed light on a new issue around the league.
Monday, Dolphins offensive lineman Richie Incognito, a Glendale Mountain Ridge High graduate, was suspended indefinitely as the team and the NFL look into his involvement in the Martin situation.
Arizona Cardinals president Michael Bidwill joined Doug and Wolf Monday morning and said he's not too worried about the situation repeating itself in his team's locker room because of the organization's belief in stocking the roster with the right kind of people.
"One of the things that we put an emphasis on, and have for years, is drafting quality football players that are also high-character people," Bidwill said. "When you're drafting high-character people, you don't have people not treating other people with respect in the locker room.
"I think (GM) Steve (Keim) has done a good job of identifying high-character players to come on to our team."
Bidwill also didn't sound shocked about the news of Incognito's suspension, citing past issues.
"Richie Incognito's a guy that has a lot of talent, but he had questions coming out of school about his character. He's been flagged a lot for unnecessary roughness and things like that," Bidwill said.
According to Bidwill, sometimes a player's apparent talent isn't worth the headaches he'll bring to an organization.
"For me, it's really about sticking to your philosophy and that your philosophy works for you and you just don't go after a guy who appears to be talented," he said. "When you bring in talented guys who don't have high character, you can have other problems in your locker room on and off the field."

Rich Past
Texas pride runs deep in the hearts of San Antonians. Residents appreciate the rich history of their great city, and what it has overcome to be thriving today. The city contains plenty of memorials to document its vibrant past. The city began as five Spanish colonial missions, and today you can visit them, as they are all open to the public. San Antonio's most famous memorial, The Alamo, welcomes millions of visitors each year, and portrays nearly 300 years of history.
You can also experience San Antonio's history by taking a wagon ride through The Enchanted Springs Ranch, a working ranch created to replicate an old west town from the 1800s. Real cowboys fill the streets, making you feel as if you have stepped back in time.

Seasonal falls
A waterfall I only just discovered in the Cedar falls region of Hocking hills. this waterfall is normally only active in early spring before drying up in the summer and fall.
Cedar Falls
Cedar falls was named by some of the first setlers to the hocking hills region of Ohio. Named for what was thought to be cedar trees there are no cedar trees near the falls but instead are Eastern Hemlock.
Hoover resevoir in the mist
Today we had some really dense fog as a result of warm temperatures rain and a lot of snow and ice that began to melt. This is a view of the resevior from the shore near the dam.
Schwambacher's Landing
When the light first hit the peaks this morning it had a touch of red to it.
Even in cold there is still some warmth
Taken the other day from the same spot as frozen sunset. This it approximately the same scene but with out the motion.
Frozen sunset
Braved the sub zero temps the other evening to get a few shots of this sunset. Taken from the shores of a frozen lake covered in snow.
Old blue eyes
I have been following this blue eyed white eastern grey squirrel around for about two years now. Over the summer we had thought he had been eaten by a hawk but now that the winter is here he is out and about everyday with his perfect camouflage for this season.
Did a little hiking in the snow today and for about a half hour we had total whiteout conditions.
Sunrise on the Grand Tetons
I made a point to get down to the Tetons on a recent trip to the west. the sunrise as viewed from this location was one of the most beautiful things I have yet to witness.
Puddle sunset
While out hiking one evening towards the end of the evening I came across these shallow puddles in the pavement.
Sunset in the Hayden valley
I just fell in love with the Hayden valley while in Yellowstone this October. Every time I went there I seemed to find something interesting to photograph.
A cold stare
Early one late fall morning in Yellowstone I found this bull Bison enjoying a little breakfast completely covered in frost.
A Wolf in the mist
On my last morning in Yellowstone I got up really early and went to a location I had scouted the day before. It was a very foggy morning and I was hoping for some bison in the fog. Much to my surprise I did not find any Bison but soon I knew why as this lone Wolf emerged out of the fog.
A frog and his rock
Sometimes you go out and find amazing animals and witness beautiful scenes, and sometimes you find a frog on a rock at sunset. ;-)
A sliver of light
I found this Barred owl one evening in late summer inside of a large pine tree. At first she was in a darker area but after a failed hunting attempt she moved to another branch. Which just so happened to be where a small bit of light from the setting sun was coming through the bows.
Playing hide and seek with a young mink
This year for my birthday late in June I had an amazing experience with a family of mink. I came across three young mink playing under a pine tree with mom nearby. It didn't take long for the young ones to become curious of me and soon I found myself being part of their game.
Getting ready for the trip south
This female Ruby throated Hummingbird was eating all of the nectar it could in the last few weeks of August.
It was a long night
On my way one morning to find a brood of Owlets I came across this Raccoon hanging out of a tree. He looked annoyed at me but at the same time kind of curious. I think he just had a long night of hunting and was having a hard time getting to sleep.
Out on his own
An approximately six month old Barred Owl out on his own. I followed this brood for most of the early spring until one afternoon I found this one split off from the others and hunting on his own.
Hidding in the Duckweed
A Frog hiding in duckweed waiting for dragonflies to fly by.
Eye contact
I found this young red tail hawk hunting on a small marshy area in a local park. I tried my best to get close to him without disturbing him but the dried leaves made it impossible. As you can tell from the expression on his face I was not sneaking up on him at all.
An awkward game of tag
This bull Elk had been hanging out in the tall grass a quite a distance from me. When suddenly this Coyote appeared near him the two began to drive each other towards the Madison river. Occasionally crossing in front of one another as they moved closer too me.
A bull Elk watching a cow
I found this male Elk towards the end of the day on the Madison river in Yellowstone national park. He had been eating some grass but his attention soon shifted too the female Elk across the river.
Seeking some shade
This pair of Zebra were seeking shade under an acacia tree on a windy summer day in South Africa.
Nodding off on the job
Zebras will often stand side by side facing different directions in order to watch for predators. However this guy looks like he is about to take a nap and may not be holding up his end of the arrangement.
The Tetons from the Snake river
I spent a little time walking down the snake river after photographing the sunrise. I really like the bright blue skies on this morning.
Grand tetons by moonlight
I arrived at Schwambacher's landing about an hour before sunrise just enough time to get a shot of the Tetons lit only by the moon.
Dead tree at Inspiration point
On my way back down from Cascade canyon I stopped and looked back at Inspiration point. I loved the way the clouds framed this tree with the sun just behind them.
Cascade Canyon
I hiked up into the Cascade Canyon looking for Pika, but instead I found this amazing view of the Canyon just as it opens up between the two peaks.
A ghost in the pines
I found this owl in a stand of tall pines actively hunting one evening just before sunset. Like a spirt he made no noise as he swooped down repeatedly onto unsuspecting Voles.
Falls on Rocky fork creek
A few days ago I was working in an area near Rocky fork creek in Gahanna Ohio. I had a little extra time at the end of the evening and decided to do some pics. I took a few shots from the front of the falls but as I was walking back to my car I noticed this angle. I am glad that I stopped and tried a shot from a different angle.
White Squirrel with blue eyes
I found this guy the other day while walking in one of my local parks. I had never seen a white squirrel with blue eyes before. I have seen plenty of Albino squirrels with redish eyes but never blue.
Rainy day
I found this yearling doe with it's mother walking in the rain in a local metro park. I don't know who was more wet the deer or me.
A snowy lunch
I caught this furry little bandit rummaging through the snow looking for things to eat.
Fall Wildberries
Was walking down a local nature trail today and these berries stood out to me. It's late fall and that was the only color left on the trail.
Inky Cap
We found this mushroom today while walking some trails at a local park. I honestly know very little about mushrooms but did a little reading on this one. What I foun interesting is that this mushroom is poisonous if consumed with alcohol.
After the Storm
We had a cold front move through the night before. That morning I woke up to these wonderful clouds just begging to be photographed.
Bunnies on the Trail
I caught these Bunnies running down the trail late one evening on my way out of Blacklick woods metro park. I was surprised that they were running right at me and expected something to run out behind them chasing them. However nothing was chasing them they were just playing.
Young Garter snake
This was a young Garter snake that I caught sunning itself on a sidewalk in early may. I almost stepped on him and he slithered off into these leaves to hide. I grabbed my camera and went back to photograph him he posed quite nicely for me and I was able to get this shot.
Blue Dasher
This is a picture of a Blue Dasher Dragonfly taken at Ashton pond in Blacklick woods metro park.
Common Milk weed with bumble bee

Chicory 2
Cichorium intybus
Chicory is a non-native plant introduced from Europe. It is found throughout the summer usually seen growing along roadsides.

McGovern part of first political memory
Former South Dakota Sen. George McGovern died last week at age 90.
My first political memory is of the 1972 presidential election season. Democrat George McGovern challenged the Republican incumbent, President Richard Nixon.
I was in second grade.
George McGovern, I overheard in my grandparent's kitchen, was a bad man. Probably a communist. On the side of the enemy. A traitor.

Absolutely delicious!! I am always a little hesitant about soup recipes that call for water as opposed to broth, but this is spot on. It is loaded with flavor with ginger, garlic and shallot. DO NOT substitute brown lentils, you'll not get the glow of the presentation. Craisins are a fine substitute for the dried cherries. All the garnishes blend beautifully both in flavor and presentation. A wonderful addition to your soup library!!

From: Fairview, TX
Region: Southwest
Topic: Privacy Screening
Title: Native plants under trees for privacy barrier in Fairview, TX
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I am looking for suggestions on what to plant for a Privacy Barrier. The area in question is a shaded area under a tree line of about 200+ feet long. I am hoping for year round coverage. The canopy of the trees is approx. 15 feet with trees height at 35+. I am open to any type of native plants.
We get a lot of questions from people looking for privacy barriers, living fences, etc. We feel we need to put a Warning Label on our answers. We can certainly try to find some plants, probably shrubs, that will grow in your area in North Central Texas. What we cannot do is guarantee they will do what you are hoping for. The biggest factor is the shade. We consider "sun" to be 6 or more hours of sun a day, "part shade" 2 to 6 hours of sun, and "shade" less than 2 hours. There is also the issue of allelopathy, in which some mature trees exude substances to discourage competition beneath them. And you certainly need to consider the tree roots when you are digging holes for your plants. Furthermore, even a drought-resistant plant is going to need some extra care, especially water, during the initial year or so you have it in the ground, just to survive. When you mention "year-round coverage," we assume that means you are looking for evergreen shrubs, which narrows the choices down even more.
We make these warnings because we would hate for you to spend the money and effort putting in shrubs (200 feet is a lot of shrubs), and then find they would not flourish and fit your purpose. We would suggest you visit some nurseries, price what it would cost just to buy the shrubs, plus hiring labor (if you are not going to do it yourself) to put them in, and installing hoses or waterlines to keep them irrigated. The larger the shrub, the higher the cost, and the more difficult the transplanting. Small shrubs will take that much longer to achieve the effect you're looking for. Compare that cost with fencing of some sort that will serve the same purpose and doesn't have to be watered. Frankly, we don't know which would be better, every situation is different, but much to our chagrin, native plants are not the perfect solution to every problem. You might even consider waiting to make your decision, as it is getting a little late in the season to plant woody plants. They really do much better, especially in the Southwest, if they are planted during their semi-dormant season of early winter. Easier on the planters, too.
We went to our Recommended Species section, and did Narrow Your Search, selecting on "shrub" for Habit, and "shade" and "part shade" for Light Requirements. We only came up with 3 possibilities, and none of those is a perfect fit. You might take a look at our Native Plant Database, using Combination Search, select on "Texas" and "shrub" and see what other plants might present possibilities. If you are willing to consider something other than a shrub, or a non-evergreen plant, there are other choices, too.
Ilex vomitoria (yaupon) - evergreen, 12 to 15 ft. tall, blooms whie April and May, part shade, low water use
Mahonia trifoliolata (agarita) - evergreen, 3 to 6 ft., blooms yellow February to April, sun to part shade, low water use
Morella cerifera (wax myrtle) - evergreen, 6 to 12 feet, blooms green March and April, sun to part shade, high water use

Outfielder Josh Bell, the Pirates' second-round pick last June and the Power's No. 3 hitter, underwent surgery to repair the meniscus in his left knee. Rated by MLB.com's as Pittsburgh's No. 4 prospect, he's expected to miss at least a month.
Bell, a 19-year-old switch-hitter, was batting .274 with six extra-base hits and 11 RBIs in his first 15 games as a pro. The Irving, Texas, native slugged his first homer and collected a career-high three RBIs on April 11. He last played on Tuesday, when he was lifted after trying to stretch a single into a double in the third inning of a 14-5 loss to Savannah.
The procedure was performed in Pittsburgh by Dr. Patrick DeMeo, according to MLB.com. Bell, who received a $5 million signing bonus, will begin his rehabilitation at the team's complex in Bradenton, Fla., also known as Pirate City.

Starting in May 2011, StreetNet International, in partnership with the CUT Brazil and the Gaspar Garcia Centre for Human Rights, has commissioned a research project to identify and record the main demands of the different street vendors` associations in the 12 World Cup host cities. The research will also seek to highlight the potential impact of the World Cup on the livelihoods of street vendors.
This project is being undertaken within the framework of the World Class Cities for All Campaign, launched by StreetNet International in association with other social movements prior to the World Cup in South Africa. In South Africa, despite promises of consultation and dialogue, in many host cities, street vendors found they were subject to harassment and evictions and they were banned from selling around the stadiums and fan parks. So instead of the World Cup offering opportunities for the urban poor, it resulted in a net decrease in their incomes.
"This World Cup is not for us poor people" is a series of interviews with street vendors from South Africa which highlights the extremely precarious livelihoods of the street vendors, the majority of whom are women seeking to earn an honest living in order to support their children. The issue of the rights of street vendors, and their exclusion during the World Cup, has been supported by many other organizations, including members of Nelson Mandela`s group of Elders.
Once this first phase of the research has been completed, StreetNet and the CUT will host a workshop in October to review the results, and discuss next steps with the street vendors` organizations and their allies. It is hoped to develop a set of demands to the local municipalities to ensure that mechanisms for consultation and dialogue are established, that were possible social solidarity economy organizations are given trading spaces in the stadiums and fan parks. Another possibility is to develop a code of conduct to present to FIFA and which would govern relations between street vendors and FIFA. For more information, contact email@example.com

Roads in Chandarlapadu area are damaged badly following the movement of a large number of lorries carrying sand from the quarries located near Amaravathi on the other side of the Krishna river in Guntur district. Local people in Popuru and Chandarlapadu areas complain that nearly 1,500 lorries are plying on the roads from Guntur district quarries every day.
The people of Popuru village and neighbouring areas are bearing the brunt of this heavy rush of sand-laden lorries. They are worried that though the Krishna district does not get any seigniorage fees from these quarries, the lorries from them are damaging the roads here.
Devineni Umamaheswara Rao, Mylavaram MLA and district unit president of Telugu Desam Party, charges the ruling party people's representatives with not taking any action to rectify the situation though the district people are facing lots of problems.
He also took objection to the laying of a short-cut road from Chintalapadu to Popuru for 15 kms by using Rs. 40 lakh funds under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS).
Mr. Umamaheswara Rao alleged that while the Chandarlapadu mandal was sanctioned Rs. 70 lakh under the NREGS, Rs. 49 lakh of this total amount was diverted for laying the short-cut road which was useful only for the private quarry managements and not the general public. The TDP MLA blamed Congress leader Vasantha Krishna Prasad for the diversion of NREGS funds.
