Historical Traveler Reviews Courtyard Boston-South Boston
Bumpy start, but they accommodated me well
Our check-in experience was less than desirable at the Courtyard South Boston. We reached our room and found that the roll away bed we requested with our reservation was not there. I went to the desk to request one, but was informed that they could not put a roll away bed in my room as it was a fire hazard. They claimed roll away beds were only available in suites, but it did not say this anywhere on their website. After a bit of arguing and showing them my reservation confirmation, they offered me a second room at no charge. I also requested that our room be moved from the first floor and this request was honored quickly and without a problem.
Other than this I was very satisfied with my stay. Their free parking and internet were all very nice features, as this would have easily added $30/night to my bill at comparable hotels. The rooms were large, contained a fridge, iron, hair dryer and coffee machine. The beds and pillows were very conferrable.
Their proximity to the "T" (subway) was decent. In order to reach the T it was necessary to take a 5 minute walk through a rather quite area. Another reviewer mentioned that it was an sleazy area, but I was not too bothered by it, although I would not have taken that walk alone at night. On one occasion, we called the hotel when we arrived at the station and they sent a shuttle to pick us up within minutes.
We ate breakfast at the hotel twice and the food was good, although a bit pricey. The food is buffet style and included a make your own waffle station, scrambled eggs, home fries, yogurt, fruit, bagels (likely the frozen variety), toast, bacon, cereal, and danishes (I am sure there was a few more things as well). There was also juice and coffee All you can eat (and drink) breakfast cost $11 and was $12 if you wanted a custom made omelet. Hours were early if you sleep late though, it was only open until 10 during the week and I believe slightly later on the weekends.
The fitness center contained 2 bikes, 2 stair machines and 2 treadmills. It also included a multipurpose weight machine and free weights, although the free weights only went up to 45 lbs. It was open 24 hrs.
I did not use the pool but it was open until 10:00 PM.
Great Value for the money
We spent 2 nights in Boston at the Courtyard and found that the hotel was well above average especially given the room rate. The room was fantastic, very well appointed, large and clean. The beds were very comfortable too! The staff made our stay enjoyable and were well acquainted with places to see, restaurants, shopping etc. The hotel is out of the CBD but is an easy taxi ride into downtown on the I93 (expect a $10 - $15 fare). Also close to the subway if you want to catch a train but not sure how safe that would be at night.
Great Value, Very Comfortable
I've stayed at this Courtyard by Marriot South Boston a couple times now, and I really like it. The hotel is actually easy to get to, once you know the tricks of the one-way streets, and free parking & internet will save you a bunch too. It's a couple blocks' walk from the Andrews Square T subway station, so while it's not walking distance to downtown Boston, it is only a few minutes' ride on the T. The hotel isn't more than a year or two old.
Contrary to a review by another user below, there IS a gym at this hotel, adjacent to the swimming pool, and is equipped with treadmill, stair-stepper, lifting, and includes bottled water and towels. The hotel also has a cash bar and comfortable lobby area, for relaxing without having to leave the premesis (closes around 11pm, so don't expect to be boozin' it up late!) Breakfast is served (for a charge) in the mornings.
The rooms are totally comfortable, and I've had rooms with two queen beds, or a king bed plus sofabed. There is a refrigerator (but no microwave), in-room coffee (and in-lobby coffee as well), and the decor is very pleasant, with recessed lighting, and clean carpeting. The climate control worked flawlessly.
The bedding was very comfortable, with a down comforter, feather pillows, clean sheets, and quality mattress. The bathroom was roomey, with granite countertops, shampoo/conditioner/lotion/soaps, plenty of clean towels, and a wonderful shower with a nice massage setting. And the exhaust fan in the bathroom works!
I really have no complaints whatsoever about this hotel. It's not opulent, but it sure beats any motel-grade hotel you might find, and it was clean and comfortable. The staff was quite pleasant.
This hotel is certainly above expectation
This Courtyard is not in downtown Boston nor by the airport, but is not far from either.
For a nightly stay of $169 plus taxes the hotel offered a very clean and cmfortable stay. There is no gym or restaurant, but the hotel does provide free Internet access and parking.
As well, the rooms are either new or recently renovated and are quite clean. Additionally, the staff is friendly and accomodating.
stayed 3 nights end of August 2006, hotel out of town but no great inconvenence only short taxi ride away or use nearby T. rooms large enough for two adults and 2 children, well equiped and spotless, pool wonderful for children. Breakfast pricey but diner only short walk. Large shopping mall almost completed next door. Staff very friendly and helpful, had a really relaxing and enjoyable stay can truly reccommend this place.
Nice hotel, not the most convenient location
Stayed at Courtyard South Boston for 3 nights in July. We had two rooms which were connecting. The rooms were nice and good size, I assume recently remodeled, with very comfortable beds. The staff was friendly and helpful.
The shuttle bus picked us up from the airport and also took us back there. Otherwise we used the subway to get to downtown which is only few stops away. The subway station is a little walk away thru not so nice neighborhood. I would not like to walk thru the area by myself at night.
We used Marriott Point Saver points for our stay so the price was right for us. I would stay there again even though the location was not the most convenient.
Great hotel but you may leave hungry.
The hotel is very nice and the staff is excellent. Shuttle from the airport was great.
There is a shopping center next door with a Target, a grocery store, and a Home Depot, but there are very few options for food. I walked about 1/2 mile in several directions and only found one small local restaurant and two fast food chains. There is a Denny's style restaurant in the Holiday Inn next door but it looked pretty run down.
The subway station is not too far from the hotel physically but it is a difficult walk with traffic and no direct path. I believe that the hotel shuttle will take you to it if it is available.
For Boston, the rates at this hotel are pretty good. Just hard to get around to anywhere.
Long weekend to Fenway
I am so glad the room at this courtyard was nice because the weather certainly wasn't. Since it was rainy Fri thru Monday in Boston this weekend 6/23-6/26 we were stuck in our room a little more than planned. The standard king room that we stayed in was huge for the $189 per night we payed. We had a sitting room with couch, tv, desk and small kitchenette(microwave and frig!) plus a very big bedroom with another tv and a nice sized bathroom. The staff was extremely nice and the small bar in the lobby was a plus too. There is a breakfast every morning in the lobby that we never made it to as well as a snack stand with soda, icecream, cookies etc. that is open 24 hours. The rooms were cleaned daily and the hotel was very clean in general.
OK so the draw backs..... you can't walk to anyplace in the city from this hotel. You need to take a cab or the bus provided by the hotel. You need to make ressies with the desk for the shuttle ahead of time and I believe it leaves twice an hour. We took cabs all weekend which can get a little pricey at anywhere from $12 to $20 depending on where you need to go.
We had a very nice stay and I would stay here again for the money it saved me for a popular summer weekend in boston.
Great hotel if on a budget
We spent Friday & Saturday nights here 03/31 - 04/01. The room we were in was great. It was very large with one King bed and a sofa. There was a desk an armoire and a refrigerator with a small bar above it. The bathroom was very large for a hotel room and had the curved shower curtain rod which was nice. The bed was the most comfortable hotel bed I have ever slept in. The only bad part of the room was that there was absolutely no water pressure in the shower. I was looking forward to using the nice looking massaging shower head but when The water came on I was very dissappointed, I could have dumped a cup of water over myself and got more pressure.
We used the shuttle a couple of times. Yes you do have to wait for it to get to you. People need to remember that they are not the only ones staying at the hotel and that other people want to go to different places in the city, you may not have a direct ride to the place you want to go. The hotel has it set up so there are only 5 or 6 pick up/drop off spots so that it doesn't get too complicated. We were dropped off and picked up at the Prudential Center (it took about a 1/2 hour to get there and we had to wait for 45 minutes to be picked up) When you see the traffic it is understandable that it is going to take a while for them to get to you. We just kicked back and relaxed and saw some great parts of Boston. If you want to use the shuttle on Saturday morning we found that you should make a reservation. I called the front desk at 9 am and was told the next one we could get on was at 11:30. We walked to the subway instead. The T station is only about a 5 minute walk from the hotel. We used the subway all day then took it to Quincy Market and called the shuttle to pick us up that night. It only took 25 minutes for them to get to us that time.
I would definately stay here again it would be better to stay right in the heart of Boston if you can afford it but our budget just wouldn't do it this time. The hotel isn't in the prettiest area (our view was a big lot of cement mixers and dirt) but it seemed to be a safe area, we never felt uncomfortable. It looked more like a middle class city neighborhood to us.
Great room and brkfst but inconvenient to sites
My wife and I spent a Sat night here and enjoyed the new-looking room and bedding - one of the most luxurious and comfortable beds we've ever slept in. The indoor pool is small but no one else was swimming in the morning when I went in Sun morning. Breakfast buffet was great with eggs cooked to order and Belgian waffles, etc. Staff is friendly and helpful.
Parking is free so we left our car and took the shuttle over to the Spring Flower Show but we were very disappointed in the return trip. It took way too long to pick us up and then we ended up driving all around the city route for well over an hour before returning to the hotel - and the shuttle was over crowded with no supports for those standing to hang onto. We opted for a $25 round trip taxi ride to get to Quincy Market area for dinner but were at least lucky to get a ride since it was a very busy night and others had long waits for taxi service.
Can't comment on price since we used a Marriott 'Point Saver' offer with our Rewards points but that was a very good deal.
We'd return but plan our transportation better next time.

Bathtub Won't Drain
I need some advice on what to do about a bathtub drain lever that won't stay down so the tub will drain. We have been wedging a small piece of cardboard in the top of the lever so the bathtub will drain but that is getting old. Can this part be replaced and how difficult is it?
On the backside of that overflow cover there is a little steel spring that holds the lever in the open position. Quite often as they age the springs will rust away. The good news is, it is a very simple and inexpensive repair.
Remove the two screws that hold the overflow trim cover in place, then pull upward & outward on the trim cover at the same time. You will see a wire rod linkage that is connected on the inner end of the lever and it goes down to the stopper. Continue pulling upwards and the stopper will come out, or at least get the stopper high enough so that when you remvove the trim cover you can let the linkage hand down inside the tub, otherwise the linkage might fall back down the overflow pipe.
There is a little brass cotter pin that passes through the linkage and lever. Remove the cotter pin. The trim cover will now be disconnected. You might be able to bend the spring a bit to restore the proper action but generally it is much easier to just go to your local hardware and get a new trim cover for a couple bucks.

Dear Angie: Do handymen bring their own tools? – Wendy H., Spring Lake, North Carolina
Hiring a handyman is a great way to get small projects done around the home, but many homeowners wonder: How much does it cost to hire a handyman?
Contractors say homeowners with this trait are the most satisfied with home improvement projects.
Angie's Answers
OK - terminology issue here. The "shower pan" is a collection liner than underlies the shower floor itself, and is designed (if built and plumbed right) to trap any leakage from the shower floor and route it to the same floor drain pipe. Example image here, copper in this case -
It sounds like your are saying the shower floor or base unit failed - likely a fiberglass or plastic shower, which commonly fail due to incomplete support under them. This can be repaired if fiberglass, but is not usually done unless just microcracking, as it is hard to find an expert - usually you have to have a car body fiberglass specialist or a surfboard repair expert do it, and the color will not match perfectly unless you get a new gelcoat over the entire base unit. Cost about $300-500, ASSUMING the material can be repaired - true fiberglass can, thermoplastic can sometimes be welded but anyone's guess how long it will last without cracking again, plastics like PVC can rarely be fixed so they will hold someone standing on them. Any sort of repair is likely to crack again, because you have done nothing to remove the cause of the cracking which is standing on a base that is not fully supported over its full extent. Some cheepo or desperate plumbers try injecting non-pressuring type expanding foam underneath to improve the support - this does a great job of supporting it but unfortunately supports mold, so starts stinking in short order as a rule.
The normal fix is to remove and replace it, because once it is out there is no sense in putting a damaged one back in for the small increment in cost. Removing it means taking the shower wall liners or the bottom row or two of tile out so you can get the new base unit into place (because they overlap it), then replacing them. So, the $3000 range indicated is indicative of this type of job, which typically runs from a very low of around $1500-2000 for an identical base unit, to more typically $3-5,000 depending on whether a shower enclosure or tile walls. Of course,when the new one is put in, it is CRITICAL that it be fully supported - this means rubbing plumbers rouge or similar marking substance on the bottom, test fitting it, and then lifting it out and checking that all the stiffener ribs and support pads made contact with the pan, and making adjusments as necessary until it has full contact, then standing in it and rocking back and forth to check for any points not making full contat and fixing them.
The $10,000 plus numbers you got must have been for entire shower replacement down to the joists and studs, and the $30,000 range number would be typical for a full bathroom remodel with new shower or shower/tub and doors and surround, wall finishes, vanity, sink, toilet, and flooring and door.
I am not sure a general handyman is the right person for the skylight. We fix quite a few skylights that were installed by handymen and that could be the problem at its origination. You will want a roofer for that.
As long as you are splitting the trades at that point, might as well get a flooring contractor to look at the floor once you have figured out the skylight repair/replacement equation.

We had just moved into town and needed work fast. They just didn't come through for us.
Can't get any better than that!
It was a pleasure to have someone with such an excellent work ethic renovate our home. We are more than pleased with the outcome and highly recommend
Now for what I didn't like. I have never had tiling placed in my home before, I didn't know what to expect. My estimate was on
Overall, the tiling itself looks nice, but when I am ready to have my kitchen floor redone, I will be seeking another company.
I contacted painting that needed to be done, done, and also acquaint me with the company.
We arranged a day for the painting for the next week.
Many contractors would work at a speed to get the job done, i.e., work to finish the original request in the allotted time.
I look forward to working with

SCALE 11x Conference Details
The SCALE 11x conference is rapidly approaching. This year's event will be held February 22-24, 2013 at the Hilton Los Angeles Airport hotel.
According to the website, the 11th annual Southern California Linux Expo (SCALE) expects to host more than 100 exhibitors and feature more than 70 speakers. This year's keynote speakers include Kyle Rankin, who will deliver a talk called "Practical 3D Printing and the Open Source Community." In an interview with Gareth Greenaway, Rankin said that the talk would provide a quick primer on hobbyist 3D printing and include examples of what users can make. "Beyond that I want to dig into 3D printing's Open Source roots and draw some parallels between the Linux and 3D printing communities," Rankin said.
Matthew Garrett's keynote talk is called "The Secure Boot Journey." In an interview posted on the SCALE website, Garrett said his talk would cover the "more social and political aspects of the journey from having no idea of what we were going to do to shipping working solutions." Garrett called the ongoing process of developing solutions to the secure boot problem a "story of unexpected cooperation and unfortunate obstructionism."
Additionally, Joe Brockmeier will present "Taking the Open Cloud to 11 with CloudStack." When I spoke with Brockmeier briefly, he said, "What I hope to do with my talk is to take a little of the mystery out of IaaS cloud, show how easy it is to get started with CloudStack, and encourage users to take it for a spin if they need to get a handle on their computing environment." However, Brockmeier added, "I can't promise there won't be cat pictures."
This year's SCALE conference will also feature DevOps Day Los Angeles, the MySQL Community Conference, and more.

Macbook Air Power button not working
Hello. I own a Macbook Air A1237. My sister accidentally spilled a little beer on the keyboard. After it dried out, I plugged the laptop in, hit the power button, and nothing. The green light comes on the side of the laptop, then goes yellow(I assume that means the battery is charging). If I disconnect the battery, and plug the laptop in, the laptop powers on by itself and works.
Do I need a New keyboard with power button?
Laptop does not come on. If I disconnect the battery, then plug the laptop in, and wait a moment, then the laptop comes on, without me pushing the power button.
Edited by: Thomas ( ) , iRobot ( )
Can you depress the button itself?
Just to clarify, when you open the machine up and disconnect the internal battery, and then plug the machine back into the wall, it powers up by itself? At that point, with the internal battery disconnected, can you shut down and restart the computer? Or does the power button still not work when the battery is disconnected?
So you're opening up the laptop and disconnecting the internal battery, right? Once you're at that stage and the laptop has started up by itself, can you shut it down and restart using the power button?
No...I can choose restart, and it reboots; That works. When I choose shutdown, and the laptop powers down, it stays off. Once it is finished shutting down, I push(press/depr
Button can be pressed/depress
Accepted Answer
You should clean the inside of the laptop when you have it appart - corrosion will set in, and more problems will develop over time if you don't.
Yes a new topcase will be needed.' Liquid shorted out either/both the connector cable or the power button. ''
Good Luck,
have the same issue though the power button answers when reseting SMC - shift +ctrl+alt+cmd+p
Allright, just after i was writing the previous answer/question i was playing with the machine and measured the voltage on the connection to the logicboard on the logicboard side and not on the Trackpad side, i kept pressing the power button and wanted to check if there is any reaction, at the beginning there was nothing and than i got 5v on pin number 4 or 5 from the left this pins normally gives 3v when turned off and 5v when turned on..now the power button works again..il let you know if it keeps that way.
but i obviously shortened something in there that activated the pin again.

How To Build A Deck: Balcony Demo
Deck plans completed? Check. Permit acquired? Check. Materials scheduled to arrive this week? Check. But one thing still stands in the way of this project moving forward: the old rotting balcony.
We attacked this assignment very methodically. I laid out a bunch of tools (crowbar, sledgehammer, power drill). I lugged over my ladder (for easy climbing up and over the side). I had music playing (see the ceramic pig on the windowsill?). I had Sherry on standby (she was inside watching Clara but ready to lend a hand/take pics at a moments notice). You know, the works. I figured it'd be a very careful process of prying off boards and observing how this previous structure was created, so that I might learn something for my new deck.
Well, methodical quickly went out the window and my demo "technique" rapidly turned into this:
The "this" is better explained by watching this video. Basically I discovered that with some simple tugs the whole thing flapped apart.
So I pretty much just pulled and pushed back and forth on the railing until the whole outside edge of the balcony started to twist off from the two ledger boards affixed to either side of the house (so it wasn't scratching the house, just grinding against those ledger boards flanking each side that I'd also be removing).
Before long, the entire thing had flipped over and completely pulled off the house. What you see below is the underside of the balcony floor (the top of the railing has twisted over to be on the ground).
Once the bulk of the structure was out of the way (which took all of 15 minutes – no tools required), my task turned to removing the various boards that had attached it to the house.
There was this ledger board that was bolted into the brick on one side…
…and this other one that seemed to be just nailed into the siding. From what I've been reading, this isn't recommended. For one, you're apparently supposed to remove any siding that's in the way so you can attach the ledger boards directly to the home's rim board. If I'm losing you on any of these terms, this is a helpful chart that has helped me keep things straight.
The other thing that I'll do differently is install some metal flashing to help keep water from rotting away at the house. This previous installation didn't have that, so the board and the piece of wood siding were both pretty rotted. But I was able to clear both away…
… to expose the rim board of the house.
Thankfully the new deck will run where that entire bottom strip of wood siding lives (the part that's good and not rotted to the left of the part above), so it will be coming out. Which means I can reuse it for some of the rotten part above the missing siding strip that you see here. In other words, we'll be reusing good wood siding that needs to come out anyway. And we'll be adding metal flashing this time- so none of that nasty rot will plague us again.
Oh, and here's the progress shot that we shared on Thursday.
This is me tapping the joist loose that sat closest to the house (the other joist came down with the railing). It just sat in the metal hangar, so all it took was a light nudge with the rubber mallet to get it out. No giant sledgehammer required (darn).
In order to remove the ledger board from the house, I broke out my wrench to loosen the hex nuts that kept it screwed tightly into the brick. You can see here that flashing wasn't used and that this board too has seen better days.
Once I got it removed, you can see the bolts that are still set in the brick. I'm leaving those in for now. If I can't reuse them, at least maybe I can get some tips for my new bolts by removing them once all of my materials have arrived.
But anyways, by this point the whole balcony was officially gone. Well, actually it's officially sitting in a trash pile behind where I stood to take this picture. But we're not thinking about that yet. Let's just focus on the progress for now. That and our sliding door to nowhere.
I'm a bit anxious / excited to actually start construction. Materials should all be here within the next few days and I've got my dad scheduled to come help us get started later in the week. He built the deck on the house that I grew up in, so we thought it'd be helpful to have him around. Hope he doesn't mind that we demoed without him! So by this time next week we should at least have enough going on back there to report back to you guys. We wish we could say we'll be back with finished deck pics in three days – but HGTV, we're not. Haha. We'll definitely be tackling this project in stages – probably over the next few weeks. But you know we'll keep you posted! And hopefully by sharing each stage of the process with pics and details it might help other folks out there who are planning to dive into deck-building someday.
Has anyone else demolished something lately? Or do you have a great demolition story? Were you ever surprised by how something was constructed – like a deck floor that flips up when you tug on the railing or rotten wood due to missing flashing?

This is so exciting! I wish we could build a deck. The neighbors below us might not appreciate it though. :/
I'm getting the mega heebie-jeebies at the sight of that rotted wood, but the demo looks like it went smoothly! Here's hoping the new deck goes up as easily as this one came down!
Oh my god, I was rolling with laughter at that second pic of John hanging from the railing. The look on his face! And holy crap at how unsafe that deck must have been to be able to demo it that easily!
You got the Staples easy button in the decking world. That was easy. Ha. I bet you'll have fun building a deck with your dad. I watched my dad build one when I was younger and I was in awe. My hubby has been working on our roof, tearing off cedar shakes, which were rotting because the 70's solar panels leaked. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=367970163265505&set=a.367430733319448.86930.120919047970619&type=1&theater He's still got a long way to go.
Glad it came apart so easily but kind of scary to see all that rotting wood. At least it was an easy clean up. Can't wait to see you start this project and see what design you finally settled on!
If thats any indication of how the projects going to go then you're totally set! Easy does it.
Way to go!
Did it make you a little nervous that it was so easy to remove?! If I've been trusting something to support my weight, I would hope it would put up a fight when getting removed. Yikes.
Umm, yikes, so not only was the balcony overlooking nothing, it wasn't even that well put together! Not only is your project a much more logical idea, it sounds like it will be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay safer (and more useful) than the old!
And because you mentioned it — HGTV? What DO you guys watch? My husband quickly exits the room whenever I get near HGTV or DIY or TLC, so the fact that you might actually sit and watch some of those shows amuses me. (And will be fodder for our later, near daily "Sherry and John" conversation which tries to convince him to do something with our place. We won't mention how long it took him to realize that Sherry and John are out there in the blogosphere, not new neighbors up the street… though that would be WAY cool.)
great to have easy work but scary to think of how poorly it was constructed!
any plans to put river rock or pea gravel under the deck?
Wow! That is scary how unsafe that was! I bet you can't wait for the new one to be finished so you can start enjoying it. Speaking of which, that's what I'm doing now is enjoying (doing my job) all of our hard work for the last full week on our patio. If you want, come on over and take a peek!
Did you use that balcony much before? Hopefully not…I'd likely forget it was gone now and go crashing to the ground – haha.
SO excited for another brand spankin' new project!
We actually started demo-ing our deck yesterday. But the previous owners used every material possible to attempt to waterproof the area below so about 10 hours with 6 people working we only have the pressure treated wood off, tar paper, sleeper boards and about 1,000 3 inch decking screws that we manually pulled up. Now we have 200 square feet of plywood to get up! Hopefully we get this deck up by labor day
That is going to be the coolest space when you are done with it. Kinda like a secret garden, it reminds me of a 'secret deck', a nice private space. Can't wait to see it all built and decorated.
Oh man. I bet you were thrilled with how easily it came out – but that's so scary! Glad you didn't use it!
This is such a great project, I can't wait to follow along.
i am really looking forward to the play-by-play. We need to replace our deck boards desperately, and I am sure we will find more problems once we get started. Luckily I will have you guys to help me along! :)
What's underneath the sliding door? From the picture, it looks completely open, but I'm guessing there is some kind of support under there.
What is with people attaching decks directly to houses without flashing?? I have just lived through the pictures above but at my house. It was crazy! One thing we did — we had someone come out and inspect for termites. He did not find anything…whew. But recommended that we spray the area where we did demo before we built anything back. So we treated the area for termites as he suggested. Just a thought. We are also going to replace our sliding door. It is also causing some of our moisture issues. Love it when a project snowballs…don't y'all. Just so you can see how similar our "rot" pics are…here is a post for you. LOL! De-ja-rot I think….
this is probably a silly question, but what is underneath the sliding door/living room area. in these pictures, it looks unsupported, like you could walk under the house right there.
My parents built a second-level deck onto the house I grew up in when I was about 5, and I definitely remember the door to nowhere stage! I'm sure they were terrified I would walk out it. :-) Excited to see yours as it comes together!
Can't wait to see the finished product! Happy building!
I laughed out loud when Sherry said, "You're so strong," and John responded with a simple, "Well, you know." haha. I can't believe that came down easily! That's sort of scary.
I hope the deck construction goes as well as the demolition!
We have a second-story deck off our kitchen (walkout basement…everything off the back of the house is basically second-story). Whoever built it failed to install flashing too, so we have had our fair share of rotting house siding replacement as well…though "we" (read: my husband) decided to do something that led to the discovery of approximately 8 to 10 feet of rotted-ness (and then a hole that big) a couple weeks before Thanksgiving…in New England…long story short (too late!), we/he made the necessary repairs, insulated and patched the hole in record time.
Wowza, aren't you glad you got rid of that now before it collapsed on it's own? The new deck is going to be so much nicer.
We demolished our fireplace tile recently, the tiles came off with ease and we were all happy and then it turned into a little reno nightmare. Removing mortar from brick is not a fun endeavor. We are still scarred from that project ;)
My first house had a screened in porch that needed new screens. I figured it would be a piece of cake. After taking off some trim boards the project turned into a complete rehab of the entire porch. The previous owners nailed new trim boards over the obviously rotten and ant infested edge joists. The 3 main posts that supported the roof had these decorative boxes build around them.. I popped one of the corners off and discovered that there was no actual post inside, just an ant chewed stump of wood. To top it all off the metal column beneath the floor in that same corner was broken just balanced in place. There was no way the inspection could have found these issues. Since then I'm always worried about pulling boards off to see what is underneath. It all turned out fine, but I certainly wasn't expecting the structural integrity issues.
We are finishing up a patio made of pavers! We were going to do a deck but you all took too long so we changed and followed your patio instructions instead, haha. We had to take some time off for the thunderstorms – thanks Beryl!

Weekly magazine 'Tehelka' has been awarded the IPI India Award for Excellence in Journalism, 2010 for outstanding journalistic work.
The Award comprises a cash prize of Rs two lakh, a trophy and a citation to the winner.
The International Press Institute is an active forum of Editors, Publishers and senior Executives of newspapers, magazines and news agencies committed to promotion of free exchange of accurate and balanced news among nations.
The Jury particularly commended the report by Teresa Rehman on the brutal execution of a youth by security forces in Manipur in broad daylight on July 23, 2009.
The report published along with stunning photographs of the execution was selected for the Award among the entries received by IPI-India.
The Jury noted that "the report had great public impact as even the Chief Minister of Manipur, long after the incident, admitted that he had been misled into making a statement to the contrary. A judicial enquiry was ordered by him and six commandos were placed under suspension."
The Jury was headed by Justice A S Anand, former Chief Justice of India and its members are N Ravi, Editor, The Hindu, Philip Mathew, Managing Editor, Malayala Manorama, M K Razdan, Editor—in—Chief, PTI, and T N Ninan, Editor, Business Standard.
The Award will be presented at a function in New Delhi next month.

text: The impact of harmful drinking on British society is often defined in terms of anti-social behaviour, young people's alcohol use and the cost to the health service. The hidden, serious consequence less talked about, however, is the effect of a parent's alcohol or drug misuse on children. There are also very strong links between parental substance misuse, child protection plans, care proceedings and adoption, as well as being cared for by extended family.

Democrat or Republican, it doesn't matter. These mean tweets are totally bipartisan.
At 9 p.m. EST on Tuesday night, President Obama will deliver the State of the Union address from the floor of the House of Representatives in Washington. It will be his sixth such message, the first before a Republican-controlled Congress, following the GOP's victories in the 2014 midterms.
President Obama spoke about Sony's decision to pull 'The Interview' from theaters and mispronounced James Franco's name in the process.
A Flint man and former U.S. Marine went to visit his grandmother in Iran back in 2011. He was falsely accused of spying and has been in prison ever since. Now he's sending a strong message to President Obama by going on a hunger strike.
A Mt. Morris woman was arrested on Thursday night protesting at the White House.
Tonight President Obama took to the national airwaves for a rare prime-time address to describe what America's response would be to the Islamic State (aka ISIL or ISIS), the terrorist group that has taken over parts of Syria and Iraq, and also beheaded two American journalists.
Katy Perry had the honor of performing at the White House last night (July 31) for 'A Celebration of Special Olympics and a Unified Generation.'
Once again, President Obama shows us that he has a great sense of humor, as he poked fun at the failed rollout of the Obamacare website.
Heavy hitting comedians set the jokes aside, and team up with President Obama for this White House PSA urging men to do their part to prevent sexual assault.
Four people, including the gunman, were killed and 16 others injured in a shooting at Fort Hood in Killeen, Texas Wednesday evening. Fort Hood officials said the gunman was a soldier who had been receiving mental health treatment and that he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
President Barack Obama plans to visit Michigan on Wednesday where he's expected to discuss plans to raise the national minimum wage.
In addition to Sam Smith surprising everyone with his US debut performance, 'Saturday Night Live' opened with a hilarious skit featuring President Obama (played by Jay Pharoah) trying to figure out new ways to get people to sign up at Healthcare.gov. With the help of a White House social media expert, he finds himself taking photos with parody versions of Justin Bieber, Harry Styles of One Direction, Kim Kardashian and posing wearing Pharrell's now famous Grammys hat.

cattleya reblooming question
Hello everyone! I've owned a Waianae Leopard cattleya for 3-4 years now, and when I first purchased it, it had about 6 flowers in bloom. The second and now third time it's rebloomed, only one lone flower has appeared. In the spring & summer I keep it outside so it gets plenty of light and temp fluctuations, and during the colder months it's inside in a west facing window. I water it once every 10 days or so, and will randomly fertilize (when I remember..). It has no problem at all putting out new pseudobulbs either. Is there anything at all I can do to make the beautiful bunch of blooms appear again?
There is no easy answer to this question. Your orchid is actually Blc. Waianae Leopard. Some "Cattleyas" flower in Autumn, Some flower in Winter and others Flower in Spring.
Where is outside? They needs hours of sunlight filtered by shade-cloth appropriate to your climate zone to grow and mature the new pseudobulbs in summer.
If a healthy Cattleya is growing new bulbs but not blooming it's probably a function of not enough light. To determine the well being of the plant compare size and length of pbulbs and size of leaves. Each year should be as big or bigger than the previous year. If this is not so there is a more serious problem. How are the roots? Further more, as the years go by it should begin to make 2 or more new growths each time instead of just one other new one.
The other thing is to threaten it. Move it close to the trash can. Moving it to a different location may be a good idea even without the garbage can.
I have it in front of my house, which also faces west. It gets pretty much full sunlight between 1-5 pm (more or less), and I don't use anything to filter the sunlight.
The roots of the plant have always looked healthy to me when I'd re-pot it. I will have to say though, of the pbulbs that have grown, none look quite as large as the one that had the bunch of flowers when I bought it. I'm going to try to attach a picture of the plant, and you can tell me what you think? The pbulb that had the bunch is the 4th from the right, the tall one with only 1 leaf.
Here is a link that might be useful:
Bulb #4 illustrates what the plant is capable off under optimum conditions. Something is holding it back. It looks healthy but is missing something. Repott, change fertilizer, move to a different spot. Notice that each of the subsequent pbulbs is getting longer so the plant is returning to optimum. It will probably bloom all by itself one of these years.
The plant looks very healthy, but the pot looks too big. Many orchids bloom better with small pots, often to the point that the pot looks top heavy. Is this the original pot it came in, or did you repot? Also, I'm assuming that the pot has plenty of drainage.
It's not the original pot, and it has lots and lots of drainage. I've got it in a potting mix of fir bark, charcoal, and coarse perlite. The plant has always seemed happy in that mix, and it's been in the pot for going on 1 year now. I thought you repotted cattleya's in a pot they can grow into?? :-/
I thought you repotted cattleya's in a pot they can grow into??
They will do better crowded. This is based on roots not the top of the plant. Ideal would be where the roots comfortably fill the whole pot and the new growth is near the middle of the pot.
I also agree that the pot size is too big. The reason it's not growing well is you're not watering enough in summer. If it's outside and it's above 90F, it should be watered at least 2X a week. Fertilize at half strength every other watering
I have a Hawaiian Leopard which has this in it's background, so let me tell you my experience.
When in growth cycle, it produces bifoliate p-bulbs and when it's going to flower it makes a unifoliate p-bulb. I have mine in a very crowded pot but I really don't think that is your problem unless it's wobbly in the pot and not secure. I put mine outside in almost full sun in summer(very high up in a redbud tree). In winter I have been known to put it right up next to a south facing window but I also have gotten some good blooms from it under my lights in the basement. I use a 65 watt Compact Fl. bulb. This thing is huge. I have it in a brooder lamp. I just really think your issue is light. When my plant is outside I can get a couple of spikes with 5 buds each, in winter I get 1 spike with maybe 2-3 blooms. I agree with Jane, but then again I usually agree with Jane. ginnibug
When all of the pseudobulbs are shriveled except for the newest, it's not getting watered enough. Orchids need to be a certain level of health before they will bloom. It is very difficult to overwater plants when they are outside in summer.
So, I would both increase summer watering and light.

text: Hi guys, Introduction (to make it clear why I am asking this question). Exactly one year ago, I thought to throw OS Windows and switch to UNIX OS. A whole summer of 2011 I studied the various UNIX like operating systems, and stopped on FreeBSD OS. Even last fall, I do not know how to create / read / watch, even plain text files. Through this forum, I somehow mastered this OS, and now, after seven months, I can freely work on FreeBSD. When I worked on the Windows OS, I was fond of programming, but I used C++ and IDE Borland Builder - bad Windows way! Now I want to continue to study programming, but only ANSI C (c89, c99, c11). Now I do not use the IDE. My tools: devel/geany or editors/vim, graphics/dia, devel/doxygen and BSD make. That's all what I learned! In order to begin a detailed study of ANSI C, I decided to write a small program coding of text data. She has a very simple algorithm, but it's enough to make that first step. My question. Here's the source code of my program, could you, as the more experienced programmers look at it and give me what some suggestions / comments / criticism / cry. I am very interested to know: I'm moving in the right direction? I am interested in your criticism!
