Everybody acknowledges that IT has to plays a key role in any new service or product design. Therefore, IT needs to align with business and be flexible to changing business needs. It is a question of how to be agile rather than should we be agile. Then, why is there such a gulf between the people who evangelize agile processes and those who look at them with great suspicion?
Any application is built to satisfy a business goal. The process has two major steps where the step one is to define the application behavior which will help in meeting the business goal and the step two is to translate the application behavior to a working application. The definition of the application behavior is the requirement specification and it is the link between business and IT.
In the waterfall methodology, development starts after the requirement is frozen. It is assumed that if business users can unambiguously and comprehensively specify the application behavior, IT can build the application satisfying the stated behavior. All the management practices based on waterfall methodology is build around this assumption. However, in most real life project we find that one of the following things have happen.
- The stated behavior as understood by the business is different from the understanding of IT
- The stated behavior is a sub-optimal solution for the given business goal
- The business goal has changed
As a result the final application does not meet the business goal. Then it becomes a blame game between business and IT, where business claims that "this is not what I wanted" and IT claims that "I have delivered as per your signed-off requirement". Since there is a gap between desired application and what is stated in the requirement, it is concluded that the root cause of the failure is improper requirement definition. In the next project more rigorous process is applied to make the requirement definition more comprehensive and as early in the lifecycle as possible. In spite of all these rigor, one of the most frequently cited reason for project failure is improper requirement management.
In current business context, is it possible to freeze requirement?
If we go back in time, most IT applications were written to automate internal processes. The emphasis was on adopting industry best practices. Vast majority of the user were internal to the organization and they had to adopt to the application interface rather than the application interface being tailored for the user needs. Times have changed and many of the IT applications are an integral part of the product or service offering. Significant part of the users are external to the organization. The focus has shifted from following the best practices to having innovative offering. The new motto is usability and user centric design. Though there are guidelines and principle available on how to design such application, in practice it involves many iterations where many idea needs to be tried before a workable solution is arrived at. Sometimes, applications may have to be modified very late in the development cycle. In such cases, though the requirement is driven by a business goal, business users are not always sure about how the system should behave. It is necessary to try out the application before taking decision on its suitability. To this we can add the changing business goal arising out of change in the environment.
If all these points are added up, it becomes clear that requirements will change.
This has led to the realization that we need agile processes which works when requirements are constantly changing rather than spending time and energy on freezing requirement. As a result agile processes were born. The key principle behind any agile processes is to have a mechanism where the users can try out the application as it is being built and give feedback so that:
- Gap in understanding is reduced
- Sub-optimal solution can be improved
- Application can be realigned to any change in business goal
It is easier to adopt agile methodology in letter than in spirit. An iterative development process becomes ineffective, unless user feedback is used to change and fine tune the application behavior. This may involve introduction of new features, discarding features and reprioritization of features. It is not always easy to reorient an organization entrenched in waterfall development. Not only it is necessity to change mind-set of the people involved, it is also imperative to modify some the key management practices.
Funding: How Is the Project Sanctioned?
Normal process of budgeting involves calculating return on investment, which in turn, requires both investment and the return on it to be quantified. Even when the requirement is clearly defined, arriving at an accurate effort estimate is an error prone exercise. When requirement is expected to change during the life of the project, it becomes almost impossible to have an accurate estimate up front. This becomes a hazardous exercise and in practice the estimate gets tuned to make the ROI look good. Once sanctioned, the budget becomes frozen and it acts as a great disincentive to allow flexibility in changing requirement mid way. The way out of this situation is to have a method of incremental funding of project. Initially funds can be made available for first few iterations and this sanction can be based on a reasonable accurate estimation. The scope of the project and the fund required can get progressively fine tuned. With incremental funding, it also becomes easier to detect unviable project much earlier in the lifecycle.
Interaction: Do Stakeholders Trust Each Other?
Change in requirement involves rework and it implies discarding work already done. IT has to trust that a specific change suggested by business is needed and could not be specified earlier. Similarly, a feature may look simple from outside but may involve considerable amount of programming effort. Business has to trust the effort estimate made IT. Both IT and business has to believe that understanding is progressive and any gap in understanding is neither deliberate nor because of incompetence or carelessness of the other party. It can be achieved by having transparency from both side. IT needs to establish a method of estimation and make it transparent. Similarly, business needs to share the business plan and explain the need for any change. Any change will involve unplanned effort, more effort than what is feasible within a given time frame. Feature will have to be re-prioritized and and the revised plan should have joint ownership.
Defect: What Is a Defect?
Standard method of measuring defect is to:
- Define and freeze the requirement
- Derive test cases from the requirement
- Use the test cases to test the software
- Measure the number of test cases that has failed
Zero defect software means all the identified test cases are passed. This does not in any way indicate that the software meet the business needs. Since, test cases can only be identified for the explicitly documented requirement, we need to move beyond that and reorient how defect is defined. Therefore, regardless of presence of any explicit test case, a defect is when the application ...
- ... crashes
- ... behaves in an illogical manner
- ... does not behave in the manner expected by the user
The responsibility of identifying and eliminating first and second category of defect is with developers. The third category can not be done by the developers alone and needs an active involvement of the user.
Success: How Is It Measured?
Traditionally, the goal of successful project management has been to the deliver the application on time, within budget and without defect. All project managers are brought up on the belief that the key to achieve this is to freeze requirement and minimize rework. However, when the planned application is a part of a major product or service release, the cost of failed application can be many time to cost of the application. Therefore it is necessary to shift the paradigm and measure success in terms of satisfying business needs. It can only be done by an agile methodology which interactively refines requirement by allowing the user to work with and feel the application on a regular basis. When we look at some of the most successful software company we find that it is better to deliver the right application even though it may be late, over budget or have some bugs than to deliver the wrong application within budget, on time and without defect. The likes of Microsoft, Apple and even Google has slipped on their promised delivery and the delivered software are also not free form problem. That has not stopped them from becoming the more successful than anybody else in what they choose to do.

Code Brown!
I live in Eastern PA, where the soil is generally rocky and has a high clay content. Last fall I had the soil renovated, which consisted of having a landscaper come in with a "rock hound", removing any rocks over 1" at a depth of 4", then adding topsoil to amend the soil, and re-seeding the entire lawn with tall fescue.
The results were fantastic - within a month we had a lush green lawn. A proper pre-emergent, weed-killer, and fertilizer schedule was continued after the winter, and we were impressed with the lawn.
Then, suddenly, as it began to get warmer during the summer, the lawn turned brown within a week. (See the attached photo). I realize that it has been hot in Eastern PA, and lawns go dormant in the heat, however my lawn seems much browner then any other in the area, all of which seem to be doing ok.
Here is the run down on the lawn:
Tall fescue
Mostly sun, sections shaded
No irrigation, but heavy watering is done at least once a week
Proper treatments have been applied on schedule (pre-emergent, weed & feed).
PH is normal
The big mystery is why is the lawn so brown in comparison with others? Perhaps there is still too much clay/rocks in the soil? Does the lawn need more organic material (ex: top dressing)? Or is the lawn simply starving for nutrients and need better fertilizer? Is it just a "new lawn" (around 1 year now) that still needs time to root?
I am of the opinion that the browning is too severe for it to be related to heat, and that there us an underlying issue. The neighbor's lawns have the same conditions but are much greener and are growing great. Obviously, seeing how green the lawn finally was in the Spring was amazing, however the sudden and ongoing decline is discouraging.
Eastern PA as well here, the Lehigh Valley.
That looks like water shortage. One year old fescue doesn't have the roots that it will in the future, and it'll water shock a lot more easily than older fescue will.
Our weather is about to break for late summer, so for the next two or three weeks you can step up the watering to twice a week, and half the amount you put down once a week (so it works out the same). While technically not optimal watering, it's fine--and in your case, required!
Our soil around here is actually very, very good for raising just about anything! I attached a link to my Saturday lawn photos, which show an extremely healthy Kentucky bluegrass (short-rooted, in other words) lawn.
If you look, you'll see a touch of browning in the front photo. That mostly reversed out in our rainfall day before yesterday, but it won't completely go away until September.
I've only watered twice this season, but I have the soil prepped from eight years of applying organic material at this point.
I love your landscaping, by the way! The flowers are lovely.
Here is a link that might be useful: Photos, eastern PA lawn
Thanks for the response. Hopefully it is just due to the lack of water. Unfortunately, on well water (lower pressure) it is very hard to get a good watering in often.
Do you have any recommendations to increase organic content in the soil? Even if the lawn is simply suffering from a water shortage, it is still extremely hard and high in clay content. Although the area has great soil, the prior owners dug 10+ feet down to install septic tanks and seems to have spread a lot of the clay and rocks they dug out on the top of the ground. We took care of that issue by using the rock hound, to remove rocks and adding topsoil, but the soil still isn't perfect.
For example, would Topdressing be a good idea, or does it need to be mixed in with a tiller?
>>Hopefully it is just due to the lack of water.
If it doesn't come back in fall, it's time to think about a full soil test. While our soils are beautiful, they do tend to have some shortages--but which ones and how much are highly variable.
From the look of it? It's going to come back in fall or before.
>>For example, would Topdressing be a good idea, or does it need to be mixed in with a tiller?
I'm not a fan of topdressing with anything other than pure organic material because adding or changing soil creates altered soil zones. It's not a good idea to do that as roots tend to be hesitant to enter a different zone than they're in. I've seen plenty of people kill perfectly lovely trees doing that.
Tilling is rarely a good idea, but does have its place sometimes. In most cases, it simply injects oxygen into layers where it isn't native, kills micro-organisms that are native (and healthy) to the soil, burns off organic material (from the added oxygen), and brings up dormant weed seeds. Not to mention destroying the natural water channels in the soil, which can take a year to restore themselves.
Increasing organic material is, fortunately, pretty easy. Stop feeding synthetically and start feeding organically. As the soil life increases, it works it in for you.
This is not a fast process (on the order of years), but you don't want it to be that fast.
I'm not sure of your county or nearest town so I'm not sure what your options will be in this area. From the LV, I drive out to Kempton and buy stuff at Kempton Mill.
Oh--you'd have to do a jar test at home, but our soils are generally dominated by silt. Under many circumstances, it's indistinguishable in density and solidity from clay,
I'm actually rare in having 60% silt, 40% clay, no sand to speak of. Mom, a mile away, has 50% silt, 30% sand, 20% clay.

What is ecotourism?March 7th, 2011 by admin
One type of ecotourism is look-but-don't-touch. Unique places on the earth like the Galapagos Islands off the western coast of South America have strictly limited tourism. Most tourists must agree not to touch any of the rare animals found there and not to pick up and remove any rocks or plants. Most of the ecotourism degrees include a good training in biology and tourism in tourism school. Even with the understandable protective restrictions, it would be a magnificent experience to travel to this area and see things that exist no where else on earth.
Another form of ecotourism is look-and-touch. Communities often invite tourists to visit for the purpose of receiving physical assistance from the tourists in the form of road building or housing construction. Under the expert directions of a tour guide who has undoubtedly graduated from a tourism school, tourists are able to become part of a community. They learn about the culture of the people, their music, art, architecture, history and family traditions. Many tourists express upon leaving one of these tours that they feel they gained more than the community they helped.
During both of these types of ecotourism, the one person who makes the trip possible, safe and enjoyable is the tour guide. They are experienced and knowledgeable because of the training they have received from a tourism school. With so many Baby Boomers retiring, there will undoubtedly be an increased demand for well-trained tour guides. Imagine that your life is one long party.

Thanks Recruiting Social for your professionalism.
Thanks Recruiting Social for your professionalism.
Recruiting Social found me while searching for Alfresco Developers in the UK. Recruiting Social was able to set up a meeting with me and the CEO and I was given an offer a week later. It was a great process and I enjoyed meeting them on my visit to Vancouver.
Recruiting Social found me while they were doing a search for a client that I would be perfect for. The interview process was great and I thank them for coaching me through the process.
Recruiting Social had a job with a client that was a great match for me. I am challenged in my new role and learning a lot. Thank you for helping me find this role!
Thank you Recruiting Social so much for the plant (not to mention the job... !) :) Had a great first day.
Chad is a truly recruiting professional. I had a great experience working together and I was impressed by his efficiency, leadership ability and insight. As time has gone on, I am even more impressed with just how deeply he embraces recruiting best practices and genuinely cares about people.
What a pleasant interview experience! This is my first role in manufacturing and I am happy at how smooth the process was from telephone interview to offer stage. Thank you!
Chad originally sourced me to work for Appnovation, and I have since worked with him to interview and hire many others as the business has continued to expand rapidly. I can confidently say that he is an excellent recruiter and would highly recommend Chad and Recruiting Social.
"I can't recommend Angela and the team at Recruiting Social enough in terms of their ability to build a great client relationship in a short time, promoting me as a strong candidate, and finding an awesome role."
"If it weren't for Angela at Recruiting Social, I would have never knows about this job opportunity. I truly thank you Angela for all your time, consideration and work!"
"My experience with Recruiting Social was incredibly positive. Angela was very helpful and made me feel comfortable throughout my job searching process. She gave great feedback and made sure that the job was a good fit for me."
I recently worked with Chad to achieve my current position and would highly recommend him and his team at Recruiting Social to other professional recruiters and job seekers.
"Angela from Recruiting Social helped me understand enough about the position and the company culture to confidently agree that the opportunity made sense and was a good one. She was quick to negotiate decisions between both parties and get the details wrapped up. She took all the stress out of the process leading up to my first day."
Providence Health Care
"Angela at Recruiting Social was nothing short of pleasant, informed, and easy to deal with. She made sure the position fit my professional goals as well as my new employer's. First impressions do matter, as do second, third and fourth ones. I wish every job hunt was this fun."

Needs Polishing... or a Guitarist
A symphonic metal track usually requires some collaboration with an actual metal musician before it can shine. But I'll offer input:
The drums are a little repetitive.
The rhythm guitar is unmistakably digital. While it's okay as is, I would suggest that you collaborate with one of the regulars in the portal. If you don't need an insanely complex lead solo, I recommend Bad-Man-Incorporated, both for guitar work and for help in mixing the sound (sounds muffled).
Voted 5 and shot you 2.36. Zero Voters are harsh when they don't read your comments. Perhaps a good chunk of the mess with them can be resolved with a campaign to end child illiteracy.
Thanks dude, I needed that advice. I'm planning to collaborate with a metal musician after I finish the rest of the track. Regardless, I want to do the best that I can on my own before I finish this track. And I think the muffled sound might be a result of me using a tad bit too many instruments to compose this and not enough EQ work. (I went melody-crazy hahaha)
Man, if I can get a good guitarist and a good drummer on this though, my god, this song could be epic.
Thanks for the advice, this is the exact kind of guidance I was looking for!

Thread / Wiki
Found this out writing up the actors' names for the wiki.
Youtube link removed. Watch our subbed trailer instead, thanks.
Wow, a show without Kouga. And wtf are you doing there, Gai?! Get out of there!
It's airing concurrently with Akiba 2? Boo!
Thread / Wiki
Edit: Oh shit, there's a trailer.
Sorry this took way longer than we were expecting it to. A lot of great guests in this movie. And it's a fun movie to boot. Check it out! Tsuchiya Anna sings the theme song which also has a music video that we released.
Whelp, Internets.
Art on the back of the box.
"Emerged from the magical stones, representing the great power in this world. Please release the power of dragon hidden in ring." - Typical Rider Engrish phrase.
So this is kind of nice. A Blu-ray box from volume one. It seems like they usually wait till volume 6 to release these, so I'm pleased. It comes with Blu-ray 1 and a card holder. The box art is fairly nice, with the magic circle on top. It has all four of Wizard's base forms on it.
Oh, I guess they usually wait for volume 6 because now they can't show any of Wizard's upgraded forms, or Beast. Oh well!
Something that is nice is that for Wizard, they included 5 episodes on one Blu-ray. Unfortunately, I think this is a one time thing since Wizard 1 wasn't a two-episode arc. So they included episodes 2-3 and 4-5 so people don't have to wait a month to see the second half of the story for four.
Bonus footage includes: Making of the pilot episode, cast talk, digest of the announcement meeting, episode previews, and info pics for the Wizard Rings and Phantoms. The info pages seem surprisingly simple. The Phantom pages don't even include their human forms, just the Gates they attack. There's no English translations of the monster or Wizard rings either.
No subtitles for the episodes, as usual. Pretty standard stuff really. I just got a bit hyped because of the box and the bonus episode.
Trying out a new team for Kyouryuuger. Looks like they're having some troubles, so maybe a release next week?
Yup, they're spelling Two with the kanji tsuu/pain. And did Yellow's hair change? Twin tails are better!
Nao, Ayumi, and Sakamoto Koichi. ???
This splash is such a Beast.

So I was adding the list of file names from our spreadsheet to the wiki last night, when I noticed that there are still a lot of mistakes in it.
I mean, the whole thing started rather informally. I was just keeping a list of releases just so we could have that list available if needed. There was a lot of information lost from the early days just from bad record keeping and a lack of backups. Monsier Enter we are not. Toss in a bunch of other cooks dabbling in the pot, human error, and patch work and we've got this wonderful mess of information that we have today.
Really, ignoring the 90 or so missing Decade adventure files, I'd say that the current release number is correct within a plus or minus 50 variance.
But yeah, it's pretty hard to add list of file names to the wiki when there were several series that never had their file names added in the first place. Sometimes information woudl be entered with a different style, so they'd appear in the wrong order. So before adding the files to the wiki, I had to fix the spreadsheet that was the source of my info. XD
By the way, if you ever need a list of files from your folder in windows, just go to command prompt. Go to that directory in command. Then enter the command:
dir /b > FileList.txt
It'll generate a text file with all the file names in that directory. It's pretty neat. Removing the /b will give you a detailed file list. And obviously you can name the text file whatever you want. So this has been takenoko's tips and tricks corner.
Anyway, the wiki should have lists of files. I didn't organize them or anything, but hopefully they're all there. Hopefully this wasn't too boring to read.
What is going on in this picture?

The fate of East Timor's next government could be decided by a judge, with Fretilin arguing it has the constitutional right to appoint the prime minister.Tuesday, 10 July, 2007, 12:00am
With about half the vote counted in East Timor's parliamentary elections, the crucial role of the minor parties has become more clear - and the head of the small Democrat Party is emerging as the potential key to Xanana Gusmao's future.4 Jul 2007 - 12:00am
East Timorese President Jose Ramos-Horta has urged that whichever party wins tomorrow's parliamentary elections should form a unity government to heal divisions in the country, which recently verged on the brink of civil war.29 Jun 2007 - 12:00am
Flaky-skinned Jenny is two weeks old. She was born in an East Timor refugee camp, adjacent to Dili's airport, that 6,000 people have been crammed into since the unrest of April and May last year. The violence prompted the return of inter-national troops and the UN, only a few years after they had left the fledgling Southeast Asian nation.26 Jun 2007 - 12:00am
He is the son that Balibo Five victim Gary Cunningham never knew existed.
John Milkins was just five when his father was killed with four other Australia-based journalists at the start of an invasion that led to Indonesia's long and bloody occupation of East Timor.20 May 2007 - 12:00am
Sheltering in the grounds of a cathedral, Maria Jose delivered a blunt message to the machete-wielding youths who for more than a week have brought terror to the streets of Dili, the capital of East Timor.
'The gangs should kill Alkatiri, not other ordinary people,' the 30-year-old economics lecturer said. 'We are all suffering from the policies he's brought in.'3 Jun 2006 - 12:00am
Mutinying soldiers are just one problem in a bundle of trouble facing East Timor. Fixing a state that failed the day it became independent four years ago will take years, a big cheque book and commitment from Australia.1 Jun 2006 - 12:00am
Minutes after James Leong and Lynn Lee arrived in Jakarta to present their documentary on East Timor, Passabe, at a film festival, they were told it had been struck off the programme.
Given the subject, it is easy to understand why the Indonesian authorities were concerned.12 Apr 2006 - 12:00am
Dock worker, teacher, poet, resistance leader, political prisoner - and, finally, president. It's an extraordinary resume but one that Alexandre 'Xanana' Gusmao, 59, wears lightly, almost reluctantly.3 Sep 2005 - 12:00am
Six years ago Celia Arego lay huddled inside a walled compound hearing the war cries of bloodthirsty pro-Indonesian militiamen laying waste to the community outside.30 Aug 2005 - 12:00am
The mountainous land border between Indonesia's West Timor and its territory of East Timor is no longer a flashpoint watched over by United Nations peacekeepers.
As fears of marauding militiamen have faded, the last of the foreign troops have gone, replaced by East Timorese security forces.29 Aug 2005 - 12:00am
A Truth and Friendship Commission that begins its work this week may be the closest thing to justice that East Timorese victims of Indonesian military-led violence will ever get.2 Aug 2005 - 12:00am

International shipping is available to all countries. Use the "Country" drop down box in the order form. Please note the shipping charges do not include custom import charges or VAT.First Class Mail International - Canada Only" is a shipping option because insurance is not available with first class international mail and we can self-insure to Canada because of the low shipping rates from the USA.
We are willing to ship butter dishes anywhere overseas with first class international mail but the package will not be insured and if a problem arises with the shipment I can only refund the price of the butter dishes, not the shipping charges.

Which palm is this ? (Photo)
Hello, I am not sure what type of palm I have. I bought it over two years ago and it had always survived very well with light watering (maybe once or twice a week) and in a big room but not near the window. I also mist every few days.
I have now moved apartment and have placed it beside a window in a very bright room. It has had the sun in the evening shining through for about 2 weeks (summer has been pretty bad here).
I finally looked up the different types of Palms and have been treating it as an Areca palm. I have started to water it maybe every 2-3 days, cut off some of the stems that had hardened on the tip so I knew nothing was going to grow from them.
The palm is now extremely droopy (had to tie string to help hold it up) and also for the first time, two of my fronds are going yellow.
Today, I repotted for the first time. It went from a 26cm to about a 35/40cm pot (probably too big of a jump I now realise). I did not touch the old soil, just added a lot more 'universal' soil to fit the new pot. When I lifted it out of the old pot, it came out very easy (which I read means it was ready for repotting) and I could see all the white roots around the edge of the soil.
Can anyone tell me, first the type of palm but also how I can fix what mistakes I may have made??
Thanks for any advise..
Looks like a Cat palm to me which is in the Chamadorea family. Their care requirements are pretty similar to Areca palms so you are doing the right things.
They aren't the best indoor palms so that could be the reason why they are a little droopy. If the weather is nice and warm where you live, it would be a lot happier in shade outside. Keep it well watered and it should be happy there. You can always bring it in during the winter. When I have my cat palm indoors, it usually just isnt that happy. There are a lot of palms that are better for indoor use. Chinese fan palms (Livistona) are pretty happy with being indoors and Lady palms (Rhapis) and Chamadorea Elegans are especially happy indoors.
Good lucK!
Does look like a Chamaedorea cataractarum. They get called Cataract or Cat Palms. In nature they grow in rivers and on river banks. They form dense clumps up to about 2 metres tall. They like a lot of water and can be full sun (if well watered) but are better in some shade.

WiFi 802.22 Can Cover 12,000 Square Miles 216
from the thats-a-lotta-sq dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
That's suspiciously close to exactly 100km - could that 12,000 square mile figure have been derived from a metric back-of-the-envelope figure of "about 100km"?
Actually what they're talking about is ONE base station covering a radius of 62 miles (pi r squared = 12,000 sq miles). The 22 MB/S is based on use of one 6 Mhz tv channel and that's a TOTAL for all user traffic and overhead on the channel. Some channel hopping is possible but it is doubtful that people would want antenna covering the whole tv spectrum (great big UHF/VHF antenna). Antennas made for a portion of the spectrum could provide better gain and in some cases much smaller size. Clients would have an outdoor directional antenna and GPS. Range would usually be best at the lowest frequencies (channel 2 is 54-60 MHz) But the antenna for that would be pretty large. The upper UHF frequencies can do pretty well if line of sight. Coverage at a distance would be spotty otherwise.
Let's hope the signals occasionally getting reflected off of airplanes doesn't cause too much grief for tv reception.

http://www.ieee802.org/22/Technology/22-10-0073-03-0000-802-22-overview-and-core-technologies.pdf [ieee802.org]
Republicans in Congress are proposing to eliminate unlicensed use of the new white space spectrum. That is, they'll require that the spectrum be sold to a entity willing to pay a market-competitive price - meaning the spectrum will have to produce a profit for one entity rather than producing value for everyone.
Call your Congressional reps and tell them unlicensed wireless can produce much more value for our society, and should be expanded rather than ceding more control to the existing wireless monopolies.

How do I prep the Hori & vertical framing for stone?
OK I have done stone on cement walls and block walls using spec mix but Now I am putting stone around a Direct vent gas fireplace and flagstone as a hearth.
I am installing a natural gas direct bent unit model Ventana by Valor Fireplace.http://www.valorfireplaces.com/products/index.php?page=386
I have built a hearth base out of 2x6" and 3/4" plywood. I am using 2 1/4" thick red flagstone as a hearth. I will be cutting this and chip facing the front edge. I will make it in 2-3 chunks. Each about 100 #'s Do I just set it on about 1/2" of specmix right on the plywood and level?
Then around and above the fireplace and below the hearth I will be using a natural East Desert stone strip about 2" thick I was thinking of just screwing on some expanded metal lathe and then using specmix and wiring up pieces as I go and cutting off the wires later. I can do it over many days and thus will only have to go up a few stones at a time until they set. The first row of stones above the hearth will sit on it but under the hearth I was planning on leaving them raised 1/2" above the floor for the carpet to tuck under.
How do I prep the 3/4" plywood hearth base? anything?
The vertical surface is 1/2" plywood over framing which is almost solid on the front face but the fireplace comes with this 1/2" cement board around the perimeter and a very large chunk over the top. these areas are not well supported?? I have some rather long stones that will span the top and will rest on the side stones and should support my stones above the fireplace opening so I only need it to adhere to the cement board? Do I need to put tar paper on the wood prior to lathe?
any help and or links would be appreciated.
