Hmm I guess I'll give my bank a call tomorrow morning. Thanks for the guidance guys, very much appreciated!
I was thinking about that but I figured since the purchased items were from Microsoft I should deal with them first. Maybe I should just deal with my bank then?
Very recently, like two days ago my Xbox live account got hacked. I didn't notice it until today, that someone took my information and used the card attached to it to buy 150$ worth of stuff on Xbox live and then used the license transfer to transfer over the purchased items.. I've already changed my password and email so I think I'm pretty safe from further unwanted purchases, my only concern is that now I'm out 150$.. With school starting soon, and me being broke, this really couldn't have come at a worse time.. I plan on calling Microsoft and telling them what happened and that I'd like for them to refund what was hacked and purchased but I remember hearing stories about how Microsoft isn't too kind when it comes to refunds. I would love some advice on how to persue the issues I'm having and how to go about getting back what was stolen. Thanks a bunch for any help guys!
Imagine what kind of games developers could make if they didn't have to focus on ports.. The developer side would be awesome but the business side of it would never work.

""Life is like a rhythm pending on the music that you create As the flow slows down, you start to see But stop to live As the flow speeds up, you don't realise anything until it reaches the last note... ...BUT what is the only matter?

"Born the day of full moons, they say the number seven is highly divine. Quadruple sevens must be, extremely unkind. I came to light on the seventh month, with a one holding a six; eighty-first year to be exact, with the eight hiding the one. Born the hour of chairs plus three guests, he did us a favor by leaving with his sad and cowardice ways; oh what man had I judged, to acquire such horrible ways?"
"He loves her and wants to make a nice gesture for her birthday, ... It is certainly a public gesture -- 'I love this woman and I'm not going to give her up.'"

Businesses support science museum's education mission
- Mark Anderson
- Staff writer
Led by its chief executive, Synergex International Corp. has adopted the Discovery Museum Science and Space Center and is assisting in its efforts to move to a high-profile location on the Sacramento River waterfront near Old Sacramento.
Synergex CEO Michele Wong also volunteered to be interim executive director of the museum, while also serving on its board of directors and chairing its capital campaign to raise $50 million. The goal is to get a new center opened in four years.
"This is a project I am very involved with and our company is very involved with," Wong said.
The staff at Synergex, which sells software development tools, sets up and maintains systems for the Discovery Museum that it otherwise couldn't afford. The company also offers office space for fundraising as well as office equipment, said Beth Callahan, director of marketing and development for the museum.
If you leave a phone message for Callahan, for example, that message catches up to her as an e-mail on her computer or phone, which she can listen to as a voice message.
"That is something they set up for us. Our system doesn't do that," Callahan said, adding that the museum also uses Synergex's office equipment, such as a high-speed color printer, and gets support for graphics and its Web site.
"We can offer them services that are easy for us to do because that's what we do," Wong said.
Wong, who studied math and computer science in college, is concerned that California's elementary science education has fallen to almost last place nationwide.
"We need to get kids excited about science. It is really sad California is at the forefront of these industries, and our students are last," she said.
That disconnect between science and students is where the Discovery Museum comes into play. It features science displays, a small wildlife center, a Space Shuttle Challenger simulator, a planetarium, and archaeological and geological displays.
"We are the main science lessons for a lot of the students who visit," said Callahan, citing research showing that about 70 percent of elementary school teachers teach one hour of science per week or less.
The Discovery Museum attracts more than 65,000 visitors a year, many of them schoolchildren. It could attract more, but the building doesn't have the capacity.
The 26-year-old center at 3615 Auburn Blvd. is only 4,000 square feet. It can accommodate only 60 people at a time, Callahan said.
To fix that, the Discovery Museum wants to move into a $50 million Powerhouse Science Center by 2013.
The museum is working with many companies, sponsors, volunteers, and Sacramento city and county to create a world-class museum inside the old Jibboom Street Power Plant just north of Old Sacramento. The project is next to The Railyards, one of the largest downtown infill projects in the country.
The list of companies offering support is long, including Hewlett-Packard Co., which will set up the Discovery Museum's computer systems, and Drexel University, which allows the museum to use its meeting facilities.
"Some people want to support the arts. We get people who want to support science," Callahan said. "They are math people and engineers, and they understand how important science is."

It's kind of hard to keep this week's big stories straight, with both news-makers having three-part names and all, but most reputable sources confirm the following: Jon Bon Jovi is alive. Kim Jong-il is dead. One of these men has been acclaimed by his countrymen as the finest musician of our times; the other co-wrote "Bad Medicine." Bon Jovi makes for a mixed-bag holiday herald: He sang Very Special Christmas songs and wore a Santa hat, but he also starred in New Year's Eve. Still, because he chose to declare his continued existence while standing next to a Christmas tree, he will be forever connected to the season. And whenever people see Christmas on their calendars and think "hey, that reminds me, Jon Bon Jovi is alive," maybe they will think of these images, too!
Here is the original image. David Bergman took the photo, I guess. magnificent7 presented it to the SA Goons.

They were a nice addition, and something I am glad they kept in the games. Yay for not needed to walk slowly!
One thing still bugs me about it though - and that's having to hold the B button. It's something they fixed in HGSS too and then unfixed, so it's something I hope is rectified in later games. After all, having to hold the button for all that time was kinda annoying.
Otherwise I... don't have that much opinion on them. Nice until the bike/indoors in later games, but that's basically all there is to it.

Baseball is life
Wayne really loves those Left Handed Outfielders doesn't he? Bad trade for the Reds, IMO.
Most Vottomatic Player
I disagree. I think that we have pitching set out pretty nicely. We traded a 27 year old pitcher for a young, talented OF. I like the move.
Cincinnati Reds:
1919 World Series Champions
1940 World Series Champions
1975 World Series Champions
1976 World Series Champions
1990 World Series Champions
Better than nothing.
Hit .337/.395/.439 for USC his Jr. year in 2006.
Another left handed OF..not a bad trade though - Coutlangus wasn't going to do much.
Maybe this means the Reds are trading an OF or 2 soon?

Bucket List: 100 Things to Do in Phoenix Before You Die
By Robrt L. Pela and Amy Silverman
I was reminded of that conversation when I visited SMoCA's "Seeing the Unseen" photography show. We all use cameras to capture moments in time, but Dr. Harold E. Edgerton, who was a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology until his death in 1990, used exposures of 1/100,000 of a second to record movements that usually happen way too fast for us to see. It's easy to enjoy these captured moments I was instinctively curious to see what my eyes can't catch. But Edgerton moved beyond a mere scientific approach and uses lighting and color to make beautiful photos.
In Death of a Lightbulb, a lone, cracked light bulb glows against a black background. But this bulb is not filled with light; it is filled with a white mist. The entry of a bullet can be seen on the right side, marked by a small puff of powdered glass. The exit is a much larger cloud and the bullet is nowhere to be seen. The captured action is dramatic. To see the moment before the total collapse of a bulb is a treat. And the glass chamber, riddled with a web of breaks, filled with white powder against the black backdrop is visually stunning.
My favorite of the bunch is a similar work in which a gun was pointed at an apple. The red and yellow apple skin shines against a cyan background. As with the light bulb, explosive clouds flank the fruit. Bursts of white, powdered apple meat mark the entry and exit points of the bullet. The shredded strips of the broken red skin gleam against the white of the clouds. The bullet, unscathed and clean can be seen to the left of the apple. Again, the work is a visual success with skillful use of composition and color.
Edgerton wasn't interested only in guns. Many of the photos explore the movements of athletes. One image records the kick of a football with the foot's force so strong that as a halted motion, it looks like it's deflating the ball. Milk-Drop Coronet beautifully captures the perfect glistening crown shape of a milk drop on impact.
Humans may never fully understand or control time, but Edgerton showed that we can use some tricky gadgets to capture its mysterious qualities.

The visuals are great and the story and acting is very good.
We know the film is based on true events, hence we know something bad will happen, but till the very end I personally refused to believe it actually will.
Justin Timberlake was very good here - to my great surprise - but the show belongs to Ben Foster.

The Space
Located atop the historic mountain district of the Morne of the capital city of Castries, St. Lucia, this home offers breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea nestled in a secluded area of the Seaview Estates. This place has two large bedrooms, an open kitchen with modern amenities, beautiful tiled bathrooms, high ceilings and large windows offering continuous views of the ocean and verandas atop a private garden featuring local fruits and vegetables for your delight.
The year-round sunny and warm weather will allow you to travel throughout the island whether you would like to go shopping in the main town 15 minutes away or scuba diving, horseback riding, or sailing on any of the beautiful beaches 5-15 minutes away. If you prefer to rent a car, there is a private garage for your use.
The central location provides ready access to the local nightlife in the towns in the north in Gros Islet and Rodney Bay or more adventurous day-long excursions to our celebrated rain forest, unique drive-through volcano, and spectacular world heritage sites of the Pitons in the southern district of Soufriere.
Additional services such as airport pick-up and drop-off, a car rental or a private driver can be arranged accordingly. A week in advance notice is necessary for such arrangements.
Guests that are respectful of the neighborhood and broader culture that don't litter, and play loud disruptive music.
We had a wonderful stay at Lucina's place. The house is reallu great, well equiped in a lovely neighborhood, with an amazing view on the ocean. Lucina is so nice, always there to help, give you advices on your visit of the island, and offer you fruits from her garden! I would definitely come back !
Where to start...Lucina is one of the nicest, most caring, gracious and welcoming hosts I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. She went out of her way to make my girlfriend and I feel at home. Whether it was slicing off a stock of fresh aloe from her garden for my sunburn (did I mention FRESH ALOE???), to providing us with a pre-paid, local cell-phone, Lucina did it all.
She is also a fantastic conversationalist...we talked politics and social dynamics, and it was great to get a local's perspective. Doesn't hurt that she is brilliant.
The property is also AMAZING and HUGE. It's extremely colorful and bright, with a great view of the water. The location is awesome too...right off of La Toc Road, which is the main road to get both North, South, and East. It's a perfect locale if you want to explore all parts of the island (which I recommend, because they're all different).
I could go on and on, but hopefully my words ring true. Lucina, and her property, are the best. You will not find a better situation than at her beautiful Seaview House!!!
Lucina welcomed us long before we even left New York. She reached out immediately, provided us tips on things to bring, and gave us directions/phone number should we run in to any trouble.
Upon arrival Lucina was gracious and welcoming. Lucina gave us advice on where to go and what to visit and even rode with us to the grocery store to get our breakfast makings. After we shared our plans of traveling to the far reaches of the island, she also provided us with a local cellphone, since we didn't purchase an international plan.
Her home was beautiful and quiet. My girlfriend and I couldn't have been happier with our choice and much preferred the Seaview House over any resort options. The house is fully equipped for cooking, the bedroom and bathroom were fully appointed, and there was great pressure and hot water in the shower. Much to it's namesake there was also an amazing view of the sea and, on clear nights, an even better view of the sunset which can be enjoyed from the deck!
All in all and extremely pleasant experience on an incredibly beautiful island. We would instantly use this as our home base should we find ourselves back in St. Lucia soon.
Je suis restée une semaine du 8 au 15 janvier 2015 dans la maison de Mme Gilbert avec mes parents et ma soeur. La maison était magnifique et très propre. La vue du balcon est merveilleuse et permet d'observer les couchers de soleil tous les soirs. Lucina a bien pris soin de nous et vérifiait régulièrement si nous avions besoin de quoi que ce soit. Elle nous a apporté des fruits de son jardin et placé des fleurs dans la maison avant notre arrivée. Je recommande cette villa sans réserve. Un autre avantage est qu'elle peut vous recommander M. Ronald Barrow, son voisin d'en face, pour louer une voiture. M. Barrow est également fiable et sympathique et s'il y a un problème, ils sont tout près: Lucina au sous-sol et M. Barrow de l'autre côté de la rue. À noter que selon moi, il faut absolument louer une voiture pour aller à la plage, au marché, à Pigeon Island ou dans d'autres villages.
Hi Valerie,
Hi Valerie,
Thanks very much for your gracious review. I am happy that my home lived up to your expectations. I am trying my best to see that all my guests feel at home upon their arrival and I am happy you and your family felt this way especially your mom.
Valerie, wishing you and your family the very best for 2015.
Love always....... Lucina
Seaview house is a beautiful home with a beautiful view, in a good location for exploring the north and west sides of the island, and in a nice neighborhood. The home is well-kept and meticulously cleaned with modern amenities and a kitchen that's great for cooking. Lucina is a gracious, fun and spunky host that really goes the extra mile to make your stay comfortable and pleasant. We highly recommend renting a car if you're staying here and let Lucina help you with that. Our overall experience here was wonderful...
Hi Amanda,
Many thanks for your kind review. I felt really good that my home met all your requirements. It was indeed a great pleasure having you and Josh spend sometime at my house during your vacation in St. Lucia.
Hopefully, in the near future we can meet again. Wishing you and Josh the very best.
Kind regards........Lucina
We truly enjoyed our stay at Lucina's home. The house is beautful and Lucina goes out of her way to be helpful and accomodating. We never felt unsafe and were relaxed throughout our stay. We would recommend renting a car as that gave us an opportunity to explore the entire island, including Rodney Bay and Pigeon Island (highly reckmmended), as well as many sites towards the south of the island such as the famous Pitons, mud baths and volcano, Torail waterfalls, and many more.
One thing that we wished for the first night was air conditioning as the first day of our visit turned out to be quite hot, however we were fine without it the rest of our stay.
A big thank you to Lucina for making our stay in St. Lucia such a wonderful experience!
Hi Lidia,
Thanks so much for your noble review. I am truly happy that my home met your expectations. It was honor to have you and Alex share some of your experience with me in St. Lucia.
Looking forward to meeting you two again. All the best for the new year!
Seaview House is an absolutely beautiful place just outside the city of Castries. Waking up with this ocean view or hang out on the porch enjoying the sunset is unbeatable.
Lucina is a great host. She does everything to make you feel welcome and at home. She knows a lot about the island, e.g. options for activities, places to visit, restaurants, etc. or she can arrange a contact if desired.
Overall, we had a great time and could not have asked for more or better. Will definitely be back!
Hi Matthias,
Many thanks for your kind hearted review. I am so happy that my house met your expectations during your vacation in St. Lucia.
Even though, your stay was very short, but you and your lovely had the opportunity to discovery some of our beatiful sites.
Wishing you two the very best for 2015.
Regards..... Lucina
I was born and raised in St. Lucia until the age of 25 and returned years later as a retired American ex-pat after living in NY for nearly 30 years. I am an avid traveler and enjoy reading, exercising, gardening, interior design, and spending time with my family and friends all throughout the island and around the globe. I have two children, a daughter who is a marketing executive who lives Oslo, Norway with her husband and a son who is a technology entrepreneur/CEO who lives in NYC, USA along with his daughter, my first grandchild, who is just under a year old.

Sherwin-Williams color using Benj Moore paint (??)
I've done some homework and I seem to have come to the conclusion that the BM Aura Matte paint is the paint that I want to use for my professional painting job being done next week (from what I gather, the SW paints just don't get such good overall reviews). But the colour that I have chosen is an SW colour - Ivoire.
I realize that colour matching may not be perfect, but would BM store be able to get a pretty close match to Ivoire?? Is there any real danger to using an SW colour with BM paint (I would test the colour match before going ahead with purchasing the paint for the entire house)??
Thoughts/comments anyone??
Great. Thank you.
BTW I just looked at your page on GardenWeb and it seems that you have a painting etc company. Do you have any comments about using Aura Matte paint vs. one of the Sherwin Williams paints? SW told me that the Emerald Paint is thick and may be a bit different to work with - but I could not find clearcut answers to how people are finding the paint - sort of mixed reviews. Given my skylights and vaulted ceilings I'd sooner have a paint that is tried and tested for a longer period of time than Emerald (which is really new on the market) to ensure a really nice finish. I want to go either low or no VOC.
Oh dear - if you see my new post, you will see that the BM store totally blundered the colour match. I took it home (I painted it on a board right beside the original SW Ivoire) and it is *not* the same colour at all. It looks like some other colour, not just a slight mismatch. I gave the store an actual can of the Ivoire paint not just a chip, so I find this unacceptable. Blah. See new thread for my new questions...
Thank you.
Much better experience today. Decided I will "test" out the Ivoire Emerald Paint in a full gallon before the contractor buys 6 gallons to paint the entire house. Also, the SW guy pointed out that he wanted to test the full gallon colour vs. the quart-size sample I used to ensure I got the bestest match since I liked/tested the quart size.
We discovered that there is a slight difference in that the Ivoire gallon has a bit less apricot undertone than the sample and has a bit less depth of colour. I always found the sample quart played a tad more apricot than I liked but on the other hand we wanted to make sure that it played up no green undertones that I really do not like yet has the depth of the quart sample that I do like - so as compromise he added a bit more colour (ochre I think) to end up at a hybrid between Ivoire gallon and Ivoire sample and I think it will be perfect based on my initial test just now.
Now I will test the Emerald paint itself vs. the colour to see how it dries etc, although I am sure it will all be fine.

Chapel Hill Revises Policies on Sex Assault Charges
August 29, 2014
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on Thursday announced revisions to its policies to handling sexual assaults, The News & Observer reported. Under the new policies, a trained university investigator will handle complaints, and that investigator's findings can be appealed to a panel of faculty and staff members. In 2012, under intense criticism for its handling of sexual assault accusations, the university stripped a student honor court of the power to adjudicate them. The new policy also defines consent, saying that it must be affirmed by both parties in a positive way. Further, the policy says that those who are incapacitated by alcohol or drugs are unable to give consent.

March 26, 2015
what a wonderful experience i had staying at the staybridge suites. the staff were so helpful and friendly. the breakfasts gave me many choices for starting the day. the room was quiet and its amenities, including the kitchen, excellent. i slept very well. it was a short walk to the corning museum of glass. again, thank you to a wonderful staff for a wonderful stay.
Very nice and comfortable business stay
March 25, 2015
Truly very friendly staff. I had a very good overnight stay, for business in Corning. Fully recommend!
Excellent Basic Hotel
March 25, 2015
This was our first stay at a Staybridge Suites Hotel. We weren't exactly sure what to expect, but we were very pleased with the facilities and the courtesy of the staff.
We were attending events at The Corning Museum of Glass and you couldn't get any closer than this.
The décor of the rooms is not upscale, but everything was clean. Considering how little time we were in the room, this wasn't an issue for us. My only issue with the hotel was that the fruit at breakfast was sitting in its own juices for too long. It did not seem that fresh. The French Roast coffee, on the other hand, was a very nice touch.

Our New Pool Build in Jacksonville, FL
I have been on this forum for couple of months now reading and posting and wanted to thank everyone for all the great information and advice.
Here are some specs
New Pool Discription
10 x 20 approx 225 sq ft
3.5 ft to 4.5 ft, approx 6500 gals.
2 swim out benches 5 ft on one side and 10 ft on the other
2 ft waterfall
2 outside returns for dolphin statues
6 x6 tile, Hawaii, blue color
Pebble tec finish
Salt water system
1100 sq ft Tremron Estate pavers, colors are coral, charcoal and south beach
Coping color is coral
92 ft of 12" x 12" footers for pool cage.
1.5 hp pump
DE filter
Possible Heat pump
The pool will be next to a 16 x 20 enclosed screened in patio.
I will try to post some pics. We signed the contract on July 4th and the PB told us we will be swimming in 29days.
Okay we are now excited. The pool has concrete in it and it look great. The PB says that we could be swimming by next weekend. He says that he will pour the footers and tile on Monday, do pavers on Tuesday and the pool cage will be installed Thursday and Friday. This is a very tight schedule. I will attempt to show you pics.
Here is a link that might be useful:
The wife picked the tile. We are keeping the existing room as it is screened in and has windows. Good to have it when it is raining and also when the weather is cold. It does get cool in Jan to March and we sit in it and watch TV and entertain there 90% of the time.
Okay more work done today. The limestone foundation is next.
more pics of the limestone base for the pavers
This is in our sunroom. 1inch maching pavers will be installed.
Our garage is a mess as we had to move all the stuff out of the sunroom.
Our driveway is also a mess. lol
Look at all these pipes, 8 total running to the pump station.
Okay this is day 14 and 15 since the big escavator landed in our back yard. Electrician came and ran a sub panel box. I had a 60amp service run so that I can have room to add other electrical circuits later on like a heat pump and outlets and lights etc.
Here are some of the pavers and pics.
This is pic from the mountain of dirt.
These are pics or the pavers in the florida room.
The wife inspecting the pavers.
The water fall.
The PB kind of overestimated on the amount of pavers so we will be having them put done outside the screened in cage. Only about 400sq ft additional pad.
Brent, to answer your question about sealing the pavers from your other thread.....
We are so far removed from your climate, we are dry desert southwest. You asked about sealing the pavers in the Florida room,I can see you extended them outdoors. Here we do not seal pavers outside for at least 6 months after install because of efforescence, where calcium leaches out of the pavers, a lot has to do with our ground chemistry though. So I guess the best answer is to ask your installer for your area. It looks like the room is protected from rain. If you want to seal from stains only, use a penetrating sealer which will not change the look of a dry paver, it will not look wet. A wet look sealer will do exactly that, make them look wet, but they tend to get a bit slippery when wet. Honestly if you don't want to change the look of them I wouldn't seal in that room at all. Stains don't penetrate that quickly, it looks like you have thin pavers in there, they are usually compressed to such a high psi they don't stain easily. I would recommend a polymeric sand in there, it hardens and won't come out of the joints like regular paver sand. To answer as to what sealer, we like Technoseal products if you can get them. Hope this helps, Barb
jenno tx, thank you. We are putting in Beach series St Tropez by Marbletite ,Pebble finish, lifetime warranty. The marcite is light blue and the pebbles are light and dark blues with sand and charcoal colors. We went to see another pool with the exact finish which the PB had completed a month ago. The water line tile is 6 x6 tile, Hawaii, blue color.
Airborne101 , Barb, you are correct. WE have 1 inch pavers in the florida room and also on the concrete patio outside it. They are Tremron Estate pavers, colors are coral, charcoal and south beach. I liked the bishop hat style however they did not come in 1 inch. The paver people already put reg play sand down in the florida room and there are still gaps inbetween the pavers. Can I put the polymeric sand over this? I will mention to the PB to get this sand for the florida room. They have to come back as we have several chipped ones that need to be replaced and several that need levelling and also to install additional 400 sq ft outside the pool cage.
thank you for you direction and support
domingo35 yes we are getting a pool cage. They start on Monday and it will take 2.5 days. The materials were delivered last week Friday and is laying on the other side of the house. They will move the mountain of dirt on Monday and finish installing the additional 400- 500 sq ft of pavers. PB says that they plan on putting the pebble finish on Wednesday and put water in the pool that same day. I will post pics on monday as there was no work done this past weekend.
Okay this is day 20 since we started and we have a completed waterfall and the screen people are here to install our pool cage. They tell me 2 days so we are hoping to put water on Thursday. The paver people will be coming tomorrow to install the additional 400- 500 sq ft which will be outside our pool cage.
This is the completed waterfall.
This is pics of the super gutter and screen workers
Okay this is now day 21 and most of the pool cage is installed. WOW our house look like a million dollar house, at least we think so, LOL. They will finish tomorrow and the paver installers will be hers tomorrow to do the additional outside patio. We hope to have the pebble finish in on Friday and then water in the pool. PB says that we will be swimming on Saturday with Bloody Mary drinks and Mimosas. I can't wait for the rest of the stuff to be done.
Okay here are some pics of the final. We are excited. It took 23 days from the time the escavator arrived till water in the pool. It took 5,775 gals to fill and 8 hrs. It is small but we had a pool party and at one time I counted about 10 people in the pool all socializing and having fun with plenty of room for more people. I still have a lot of other work to do like additional electrical outlets and spickets etc. Lots of sand cleanup from the pavers. We will be swimming in Chlorine for the next 30 days and I will be brushing the pool everyday. The water temp is 89 degrees, not bad considering that it is screened in. The pebbles are coming out more as I scrub and the water is clearing up. The first day the water was greenish and I had to back wash a few times but the next day it was blue and crystal clear with pebbles showing. I will post as many pics showing this. Thank you for looking and hope you enjoy.
Mermaid and dolphin statue
The wife planned a birthday brunch for 20 people on Sunday. These pics will give you an idea of the size with guests in and arounf the pool area. Meet us by the pool........
The girls like the long bench area, great for guest to still socialize without getting in the pool.
Some of the guys like their quiet time in the pool and some preferred to be sitting in the florida room watching the races.........
My Grand Baby loves this Water Feature. It is amazing that even the adults played with this too.
Wow Brent that looks huge, the screen room really makes the area look much larger than a 6k gal pool. To answer your question from a few days ago, yes you can put polymeric over the regular sand, but we pressure wash first to get all surface and loose sand off. Don't know if your wife wants to pressure wash that in the Florida room as I don't really know what a Florida room is. A good hosing will do, then put in polymeric. Cheaper than a sealer to hold sand in place. And I think that looks like bishop's hat as we know it here in the west, but things are different all over US. I like how you combined the holland pavers and bishop pattern, looks very nice outside the screen. One question on the screen as we don't do them here. Is that just anchored to the footer or are the posts set down in the footer? Are those posts steel or aluminum that support the screen room? When we build a patio cover here we have to use steel for a 90 mph wind load, and for how far apart those supports are we would probably have to set steel down into footers and pour concrete around them. Again, different area of country, different codes. But you must get more wind with hurricanes than we would ever get, NV is tough on all codes and getting even stiffer. Thanks for your time, enjoy the pool. Barb
nosabe, the fountain feature is at Lowe's in the garden section for $15.00. It is for ponds and I adapted it. I had a special return put in the floor of the pool to put things like this. It can also be adapted to your return coming out of the side of the pool, just make sure that you put in a valve to adjust the flow. It does not take much pressure as I found out and I made the mistake of putting full pressure and the fountain blew water past the screen roof. LOL... I can post pics of the set up if you wish. Have fun with this..........
domingos35, we have not purchased a heat pump yet. The water is 90 degrees and I have too many projects to do. I will be asking for your help on heat pumps in the future. I would like to move my pool pump switch and my pool light switch. The pool light switch is an easy fix however the pool pump switch is a more challenging project. I have it on a standard intermatic timer and I have to go to the side of the house to turn it on and off. Can I get some suggestions? Is there a remote I can adapt or something????
Thanks in advance
airborne101, Barb, thanks for your advice on the pavers. The style is very close to bishop pattern, this style is called Estate and the pavers are made by Tremron. To answer your question about the screen. It is aluminum. It is screwed in the footer. Florida code says that any screened structure has to have 12" x 12" rebarbed footers. The PB put extra steel in the footers and used a different kind of concrete in them. The small wall you see around the pool was built because we had a grading problem. That is the actual footer which we covered up with 1" pavers. The screen is then attached to it. We live in a 120mph zone. The PB built our cage to withstand 140mph. The beams are 2 inches wider and he put L brackets on the sides of each post. He tells us if we get a strong hurricane the house will be gone but the florida room and the pool cage will be standing. I guess we will at least have somewhere to stay.... LOL......
Fletch58, the fountain does have a solid pipe coming from the floor. I will try to take a pic of it.
Wow Brent, 140 mph. I believe it, I caught a show on a hurricane in the islands and saw a cage still standing, the homeowner said they got 170 mph, of course the screens suffered, but the cage fared better than his tile roof. Interesting to me, never been to Florida, how they build them may have to do with aluminum versus steel. Sure adds an awesome look to a pool area, makes it look so huge. You did a nice job on the pool. I looked at your pix again, have an idea what a Florida room is, we call them sunrooms here. Enjoy the pool, thanks for the answers, Barb
I thought that it was time to add some more pics as I added a couple of things. The first is the install of a pentair deck jet just opposite the mermaid/ dolphin statue. The ball that has the 3 streams of water is very loud and I have it on an adjustable pentair never lube valve. I can control the height and length of the water stream. I have never had it on full pressure but I do know it can shoot 30ft wide and 30 ft high:) Of course it was a mistake when testing it out and why would you want it shooting out so far. It is a cool toy to play with though.
Here are some pics of the Dolphin Bar and Grill including some night time pics.
This is a pic of the Flamingo Lounge. The wife like to name things. LOL
Here are some night time pool pics.
Okay it is 10mths later and we now have green grass covering the sand and dirt and some landscaping. I thought I would post some pics. Thanks you for looking.
The bushes outside the screen are pineapple- guava bushes. They have the prettiest pink edible flowers and I am told that they will bear edible fruit. I put these in hoping for a privacy fence.
DW has named this area as the Pump Pad Pub. She has a sign being made and we will hang it by the pool equipment. You might ovserve that We added solar heat to the pool in March to use as our main souce of heating with the heat pump as a back up to be used in the cooler mths. I am very pleased with it. It keeps the pool at 89 degrees during the week, and I turn it up to 94 degrees on the weekend as we like to swim at night. We love warm water and DW will not go in the pool unless it is 88 degrees or higher. What can I say, we got to keep the women happy :)
This is another pic of the Dolphin Bar and Grill. The Flamingo Lounge is to the left of it. DW loves to name things :) I am considering building a more permanent outdoor kitchen here along with a bar to seat at least 6-8 people. I have to put a cover over the top screen first, so as to keep out the afternoon summer showers.
I have the bubbler attachment in place of the glass bowl.
Lots of green outside the screen which make a big difference compared to last years pics earlier in this blog
Here are a couple of night time shots. The plants lit up are Majesty Palms and the lights are solar powered, $20 for a bx of 2 from Walmart. The dolphin/ mermaid statue is also lit up.
The girls enjoying night time swimming while drinking Champagne.
Barb thank you for your kind words. I had a hard time to get anything to grow during the winter and I am just happy with the green, most may be weeds :)
to-the-beach, I still have more projects to do however I am able to relax and enjoy the pool more. I still have 3 more electrical outlets to put in and a whole summer kitchen/ bar to design and build. The projects never end. DW had me replace the party lights to Pink and Teal lights last nite.........
Glad to see the project continues it's forward progress.
With our recent rains I finally see my replacement sod taking hold. Next up is the thinking steps about landscaping. Sometime this summer solar - I seem to be running a 6-month lag with your efforts.
Ventura43 send me an email and I will be happy to discuss my findings and experience.
lbridges, your pool looks beautiful. I like the geometric design. Take your time with the landscaping and purchase plants and mulch when they are on sale. It will take some time for your money tree to grow new leaves:)
Wow your pool looks great ... I am having a pool installed in St. Pete Beach, I live in NJ and my 21yr old daughter is over seeing the project. My PB has been great to work with. I have a question about the lighting you use in the flower pots, are they solar lights or did you have them wired?
mdawn44, the lighting for the flower pots are solar powered spot lights. I got them from Walmart, they cost $20 for a box that has 2 spot lights. They have larger ones for $40 each however I found these to put out the same amount of and they had a nice shape.
Here is another night time pic. Note the reflection of the statue in the water. Also note that the top of the pool cage is also lit up slightly.
Looks really great and you did tons of decking. I love it. We just started our PB in central MD last week. Hoping for decent weather so most of it is done before spring and we are swimming by May. Enjoy your new pool...one other thing, Where did you get the Dophin Bar and Grill sign? I love it!
cmanley33, my wife's brother makes signs for a living so he made the sign for us. Since then we added solar and a summer kitchen. Look at these links
and this link for summer kitchen:
Wonder if you could give update on your Tremron pavers?
We are getting estimates to resurface the lanai at our FL house and Tremron is used a lot in area around Sarasota...
What about heat in the outside area of pool/pool cage and the patio outside the pool cage?
Did you get white base pavers?
Did you have the exterior ones sealed?
And did you use polymeric sand in the outside portion of the patios--in and out of the pool cage?
Wonder if you could give update on your Tremron pavers?
We love our pavers. The screen room has 1.25 inch pavers on top of a concrete slab. Outside is matching 3.5 inch pavers.
We are getting estimates to resurface the lanai at our FL house and Tremron is used a lot in area around Sarasota...
What about heat in the outside area of pool/pool cage and the patio outside the pool cage? There is some heat however it is bareably. We have the lighter colors
Did you get white base pavers? No they are Tremron Estate.
Did you have the exterior ones sealed? No seal on them. I never got around to that yet.
And did you use polymeric sand in the outside portion of the patios--in and out of the pool cage? No polymeric sand yet. Maybe I will do some this year.
I am also in NE Florida and need to find someone to place a fiberglass shell in place etc. Just started looking for a contractor. Now I was wondering, the pool I am looking at is 19 X 12 with depth from 3'4" to 5' deep and it's now the middle of July, what is your pool's water temperature? I am going to screen in the pool as well and would hate to go to the trouble to add a pool and the water is too hot to want to swim in. I also don't like to swim in too cool water but hot water I wouldn't like either. Thanks for all the great pool pics and information.
Marianne51, I can't say what your pool temp will be like as every pool is different and depends on many factors like depth, amount of sun exposure and times it is exposed to the sun. Generally a screen cage will make your pool a few degrees cooler. Before we added the heat pump and solar our pool max temp would get to 86 degrees. This is too cool for us warm bodies. I suspect you may want to invest in a heat source later as this will lengthen your swimming season. We keep our pool at 88-89 degrees in the summer and 90-92 in the cooler months.

Before I say anything I am updating my bio to say that my Abigail is the greatest daughter in the world! (When I first wrote this bio Abbey had just been born and, or course, was unable to read of write. Now she is extremely talkative and highly opinionated and last night she demanded to know why she had no mention in the bio)
I was born and raised in New York where I worked for various newspapers in the NYC metro area. I relocated to Georgia in 2003 to work for the Athens Banner-Herald, where I continue to report on criminal justice issues, including law enforcement, crime, and the criminal and civil courts at the state, county and federal levels.
I'm also constantly on the lookout for human interest stories, especially those of crime victims and their survivors, the impact crime has had on their lives and their search for justice.
Other areas of great interest to me are domestic violence, particularly when the victims are children and women who feel trapped in abusive relationships.
Among my priorities is educating the public through reporting about sexual assault on women and children and child abuse/neglect.

An Athens man serving life in prison for murdering his girlfriend by dousing her with kerosene and setting her on fire has lost a bid for a new trial.
Following a trial in February 2011, Phillip Scruggs was found guilty of murdering Elissa Denise "Lisa" Davenport, a 42-year-old single mother with three grandchildren.
A suspected drug dealer fractured his knee Sunday afternoon when running from a traffic stop in West Athens.
Athens-Clarke police said 29-year-old Steven Lamar Tate fell down a steep incline after bailing from his car in the parking lot of the Howard Johnson Inn on West Broad Street while being chased by an officer shortly after 4 p.m.
Upon reaching a stairway leading from the motel's property, Tate threw a bag into the air, releasing both powder and crack cocaine, police said. He then lost his balance and fell down the stairs, police said.
A convicted robber who was on probation when arrested Saturday night after allegedly trying to take a gun from an Athens-Clarke County police officer was released from jail on a $10,000 bond early Sunday afternoon.
Jamar King Mabry, 23, of Tilson Road, fought with the officer while attempting to flee from a traffic stop, according to police.
A local judge will be sitting today as a Georgia Supreme Court justice when the high court considers a case that involves double jeopardy.
Western Judicial Circuit Chief Judge David Sweat was chosen to serve in place of Justice Keith Blackwell in the appeal of a Gwinnett County case in which a man is contesting a Court of Appeals decision that he can be retried on a charge of voluntary manslaughter after having been acquitted of murder.
The man said a new trial would violate the double jeopardy clause of the federal and state constitutions.
A one-time leader for Athens' Hispanic community is now one of Athens' most wanted.
Authorities are searching for the founder of an Athens nonprofit agency who they say falsified community service records for offenders on probation.
Jaime Umana is charged in warrants obtained by Athens-Clarke police with seven felony counts of making false statements and writings, and authorities believe he may have fled the county and possibly the state.
A convicted drug dealer was arrested Thursday night after an officer stopped his moped for speeding on a street in east Athens and subsequently found bags of cocaine and marijuana, Athens-Clarke police said.
An officer was on patrol on Nellie B Avenue about 8:15 p.m. when a moped sped past him from the other direction, police said.
The officers estimated the moped was traveling at 40 mph in a 25 mph-zone. When the officer stopped the scooter near the Nellie B Homes public housing complex, the driver admitted he had been speeding, according to police.
Athens-Clarke police arrested a 16-year-old gang member early Wednesday morning after they found him in possession of bags of marijuana, a knife and pistol ammunition.
Text messages and photos in the teen's cell phone identified him as belonging to a group that calls itself the NBA gang.
In some of the photos, he was pointing handguns at the camera, according to police. Other photos depicted him making gang hand signs, apparently smoking pot and blowing smoke at the camera, police said.
A Clarke County grand jury this week indicted a 55-year-old Athens man on charges he possessed pornographic images of young boys.
Kevin Ray Whitworth, of Greencrest Drive, was charged with 10 counts of sexual exploitation of children.
Whitworth was arrested by Athens-Clarke police in December 2011, but the case was not presented to the grand jury until Tuesday.
After posting a $5,700 property bond, he was released from jail the same day he surrendered to authorities, according to court records.
A Clarke County grand jury this week indicted a 23-year-old Athens man on charges he assaulted a woman and her unborn child a year ago.
On June 26, 2012, Stanley Jakiese Gilmore forced the woman out of a car and slammed her against the hood, where he proceeded to choke her, according to the indictment filed Tuesday in Clarke County Superior Court.
The assault was not just against the woman, but also the unborn child, the indictment states.
An Athens man who police said tried to molest a young girl during a burglary last month at an eastside home tried to lure another girl to his home just a day before by sending her a lewd cellphone photo, according to an indictment filed Tuesday in Clarke County Superior Court.
The indictment charges 24-year-old Rashard Timothy Blackshear with burglary, criminal attempt to commit child molestation, criminal attempt to entice a minor for indecent purposes, and two counts of distributing obscene material.
