very uneven floor
We live in an 1840 farmhouse. The main house was totally renovated about 10 years ago (by previous owners), but the hundred year old "addition" (itÂs an old attached barn) to the house where the kitchen is located has not been touched in at least 30 years. The floor in the kitchen is not level- in fact there might be a 4-5" height difference from the high to low points, including a few sags here and there. The addition is on a crawl space foundation. Even though thereÂs a definite non-parallelness to the room, it seems like itÂs been that way for a while: the windows are level to the ground, but not to the ceiling. There isnÂt cracked plaster on the walls. So if the house was built level and then it settled, it hasnÂt moved much in at least 30 years.
We have spoken to a couple of different people about fixing the problem for us. The first guy offered to level the whole addition for us, leaving us with cracked walls and ceiling plaster, windows and doors that wonÂt opeerate any more. The second and third guys said the best thing to do is tear the whole structure down and put a new one in its place that looks like the old structure (but not crooked). The first bebuild quote came in and it shocked us- its two times what we paid for the house a couple of years ago, and way above our budget.
Today a friend at work made a suggestion for fixing the kitchen floor, without really touching the rest of the structure. This idea really intrigues me and I want peoples opinions on it. He said that after verifying that the sills are not in bad shape and arenÂt so wide that they project into the room (under the floor), we would remove the flooring and floor boards to expose the joists. Then, using a laser level, we would raise by shimming or lower by notching the joists as needed to make the floor more level, sistering new wood to the joists if needed. Then I would put the floor boards back down with screws to make things much more stiff than they are with 100+ year old nails.
IÂm a fairly handy person, this idea really intrigues me without scaring me. I would get to level the floor without moving any other part of the structure. Can people give me pros and cons of this approach?
One more piece of information is that with the floor boards removed, the joists would be at about waist level when standing on the ground. So working on them should be easier than if I had to work on a ladder.
Thanks for your help and thoughts.
Well, that could be an awful lot of work. How big is the space? If you had a 5" dip in the middle of the room, and it was a gradual dip, you'd have to be sistering or notching most of your joists, I think your idea has alot of merit, but I wouldbe leaning towards a major "sistering" project, I think. Knowing alot about an 1840s floor and very little about sistering, I think that once you had ripped off the floor, you could do your laser level idea with all new joists sistered to the old ones. More money for the joists, but still a DIY kind of project.
We leveled the floor in our kitchen which is in the addition, on logs, over not even a crawl space. We just worked over top of the previous floor by building shims as needed to raise the whole thing to level and then adding 3/4 inch plywood on top. It has worked out well for us.
"do your laser level idea with all new joists sistered to the old ones."
This is the way to go. Use your laser level now, however, to see how much the floor will be raised around the room. If one lower corner of a wall is going to wind up several inches higher than the other lower corner, the wall may look distinctly odd / unsquare. The appearance of the ceiling may be an issue as well, if it is not level now. If so, you will have to decide if it is something you can live with. Better to know ahead of time.
If 5" out of whack and you are determined to do this, then why bother removing the floor? Just lay a new floor over the one you have with sleepers cut for the correction and nailed over the joists in the crawl space?
I would also be careful when cutting the last joist bay out (the side running with the joist, not across) as you do not want that wall to "bulge" and collapse. The floor boards help keep that wall straight (I won't say square...)
Check your ceiling too, If it is out of square with the floor and you correct the floor, it might look really silly.
We had a similar problem in the upstairs bathroom (5'x16') of our 1906 farmhouse-- the space had originally been an outside deck/porch, and the owners decided to close it in to make a bathroom... however, the floor was (wisely) sloped away from the house and dropped almost 4" across the 5' width of the room, and when they converted it into a half-bath, they never bothered levelling the floor. (They DID, however, carpet the heck out of it, many times over-- but that's another story!)
Needless to say, a toilet on an unlevel floor is a stupid idea... within months of us moving in, the toilet developed a leak at the floor, so we were basically forced into remodelling the whole room, which we did entirely DIY.
When we pulled up the floorboards, we discovered that the floor joists were spaced really wide apart, like 3'... so we created "ladder" inserts for each of the sections, using 2x6's-- basically sistered to each of the existing joists, plus with cross-"joists" for additonal support.
We considered the "shim" idea, too, but we decided that it would be way too difficult to get the floor uniformly level all the way across if we did that-- plus, we had to come up with a solution for the wide space between the existing joists.
It took a while, but the floor is super-solid and is now probably the most level floor in the whole house.
This is Jeff, the person who started the thread.
We measured the waviness of the floor and two opposite corners have a height difference of 8.5". The floor to ceiling height is more or less the same in the two parts of the room, so I think that leveling the floor will make the whole room look worse, rather than better. Right now the windows and doors look horizontal with respect to the floor, but if I were to relevel the floor there would be a huge angle between the bottom of the windows and the floor.
So I think that either the house settled at some point (a while ago), or it was just built unlevel. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
Thanks again.
So the room is so far out of plumb/level/square, that fixing any one part of it just makes the defects of the rest glaringly obvious.
Sounds like the guys who saw it and suggested demolition and start over knew what they were talking about.
Best idea I have short of that solution is:
1. Level floor using your choice of methods suggested.
2. Reframe door and window openings level and plumb. [This is going to be one of those "Where does the demolition stop?" deals.]
3. Reinstall windows and door units, or new ones if necessary.
4. Install a (level) suspended ceiling.
I suspect that when you get estimates for this work, you will find they are not much less than the ones for the "demo and start over" approach.
After all this, it might wind up looking OK inside, but the exterior will still look funky. For this much work, I would probably just ante up however much more a complete rebuild would cost, and get a kitchen that looked decent inside and out.
All great suggestions with one flaw. You may NOT want the floor level (to the bubble). But, rather level to the room. It sounds like your upset with current condition is the inconsistent sag across the floor.
#1. Leveling the floor may leave you with little if any base board on one or more sides/corners of the room. Or depending on how you start project, you could end up needing +5" on top of the existing baseboard on one or more sides of the room.
#2. I believe the floor you are looking for is flat. One that you can place tile or some other substrate to and not get cracks or pull up. To accomplish this flat floor your co-workers and others ideas of taking up the floor will work although put away the level. Use a snap - string and measure from corner to opposite corner. Leave your string in place and tie off the other remaining corners. This will give you an idea of what your floor is doing and where shims/hewning may need to occur.
#3. Be very very cautious of anyone who wants to jack up your house. Unless the house is settling and continuing to do so at a pace faster than your going to live, my experience will advise that your looking for 20 - 40 year enjoyment. Who cares what happens after that and if you do build the house on pylons to insure the will be no settling ~ luck will have it that a tornado or some other unfortunate event will occur.
Remember ~ 'The enemy of good is better'. Get it good and enjoy!

Ole Miss Texan's Wish List/Projection
This is a quasi-mock/wish list of players I think fit what the Texans want, players who I like and would like to see as a part of our team long term. You will see a trend throughout on what kind of guys these are. Additionally, I had to make a trade to get an extra guy early. I tried my best to project where these players may go in the draft- some guys fall every year and some go earlier than expected.
**Minnesota Vikings trade with the Houston Texans. Vikings give up 1st round pick (#22) and 2nd round pick (#54) to move up to the Texans' 1st round pick (#15); they also receive the Texans' 4th round pick (#112). Texans still have the Vikings' original 4th round pick from the Sage Rosenfels trade. Why do the Vikings want this trade? Simple... I don't know but I had to get my players! Some players has to slip for them to trade up and they're worried he'll get taken before #22. Oher, Maclin, another OT, Jerry...? someone though.
Onto the mock:
1st Rd (#22): Clay Matthews III, OLB, USC - Texans are able to trade down in front of NE and get their guy. 1 year starter but has tons of experience on one of the top collegiate defenses. A very hardworker, hich character player, is intelligent, has high measurables, very athletic and versatile. Will play OLB for the Texans and can rush the passer. 9 TFL and 4.5 sacks during 2008.
2nd Rd (#46): Eric Wood, C/G, Louisville - Another intelligent, high character player that is a very hard worker. Probably watched more game film than any other lineman in college. Would DVR every game during the week and watch them scouting the OL. Athletic player that can be a team leader- a must as a Center. Fall back position is Guard.
2nd Rd (#54): James Casey, TE, Rice - Extremely versatile athlete that has boosted his draft stock considerably. Man of many talents will give the Texans lots of options on any given play - TE, receiver, blocker, runningback, quarterback, longsnapper. 13 TD's and 1,329 yards receiving in 2008. Player the Texans have worked out.
3rd Rd (#77): Rashad Jennings, RB, Liberty - Here's a guy that may go as high as the late 2nd, but luckily he ends up slipping to us. Seems to be exactly what Kubiak is looking for as someone to pair with Slaton. Durable, patient runner, good hands, excels in short yardage and goalline situations. 46 TD's in the last 3 years.
4th Rd (#122): Michael Mitchell, SS, Ohio - Props to Arlington Texan for finding this gem. Texans attended Ohio's pro day. This is the first big surprise by the Texans... a guy rarely anybody has heard of. He brings great size (6'1, 221 lbs) and athleticism to the secondary. Runs low 4.4's in the Forty, 22 reps on the bench, 37.5" vert and 10'3 broad jump- all would have been top 5 at Combine... but he got snubbed. Joins the likes of Owen Daniels, Fred Bennett and Xavier Adibi as excellent 4th round steals during the Kubiak Era. 8.5 TFL, 2 sacks, 5 INT's, 3 Forced Fumbles and 9 pass breakups during his last 2 years. http://www.ohio-share.coxnewsweb.com...ect-79516.html
5th Rd (#152): Brandon Williams, DE, Texas Tech - Brandon is selected as a situational pass rusher and as he develops more should flourish in this role. We'll have the "Williams Duo" on passing downs wreaking havoc in the backfield. 13.5 TFL and 13 Sacks during 2008 (including the Cotton Bowl loss to Ole Miss).
6th Rd (#188) Quan Cosby, WR, Texas - Cosby is an underrated receiver that has a lot of upside in an offense like the Texans. Will compete with Jacoby for the 5th WR spot and Return duties. 12 TD's and 1,300 yards during 2008 (including the last seconds TD score to win the Fiesta Bowl).
7th Rd (#223) Clinton McDonald, DT, Memphis - Should be a solid contributor on our DT rotation. Fits the mold of what Kollar wants in a DT, a guy that can get in the backfield, has a non-stop motor and never stops trying. Hardworker and selected as a permanent Team Captain by his teammates during his Junior year. 37 straight games played. 9 TFL, 4.5 Sacks and 2 FF during 2008.

Re: Ole Miss Texan's Wish List/Projection
But one of the two would be out the door in September....Anderson or Casey. I don't think Anderson's untouchable....but he is what he is.
Think your board is just fine with me though. If that's your guys more power to ya. I'd sacrifice Sidbury to be drop dead sure we were covered at the center and guard slots. And I love Sidbury.

Re: Ole Miss Texan's Wish List/Projection
These pass rushers would need to replace Casey. He was sort of a luxury type pick but I could just see Kubiak really like him, as well as the fans. Offense kind of early in this projection. I think the guys you got here will get very strong consideration with the 2nd and I'd totally support that pick. With taking Matthews in the first though, I'm looking for a pure situational pass rusher which I'd rather get later.

Re: Ole Miss Texan's Wish List/Projection
1. Matthews, NO. This has been discussed to death.
2. Wood, I like this pick.
2. Casey, Why would we pick a TE in the 2nd round when we already have a Pro Bowl TE, Owen Daniels.
3. Jennings, good player, good pick.
4. Mitchell, we could pick up this guy as an UDFA, why waste a 4th on him.
5. Williams, good pick we need a rotational DE.
6. Cosby, we don't need a WR we've already got quality and depth at WR.
7. McDonald, I don't know anything about this guy, but a rotational DT's not bad.
We've got a good Offense, we need those early picks for Defense.

Re: Ole Miss Texan's Wish List/Projection
I think the Mitchell pick is a mistake OMT.
If his tape was good then he would have been at the combine.
I don't care what his measurables are. Some guys can jump through the roof and bench press a truck, but that doesn't mean they can play ball.

Re: Ole Miss Texan's Wish List/Projection
2. Casey- he's kind of the "hot" prospect right now, being the local guy and so versatile. He's a guy that's most likely going to go earlier than we should really be looking for him. He'd just add another deminsion to our offense that I think could make it even more successful.
4. See comments in post above about Mitchell. Doubt he goes undrafted. But I'll concur, 4th could be too early. How many people had Owen Daniels on their radar for us in the 4th?
6. Kubiak's going to get WRs to come in for competition. I guess we got guys on the PS and we'll bring some undrafted guys in. I wouldn't mind taking a flyer on a WR/KR/PR type of guy this late in the draft... but to each their own.
Totally agree I went more offense than I really wanted to, but that's where some of the guys are that I like.
On defense we brought in Antonio Smith and Shaun Cody for the DL... in the draft "we add" Williams as a pass rusher and McDonald as a rotational DT. DL checked off.
For linebackers, we brought in Cato June who I see as contributing for our team, and buster davis- borderline backup/practice squad/cut guy. We add Matthews (who you don't like) so we've got Demeco, Adibi, Matthews, June, Bentley, Diles, Thompson, Davis- that's a lot to fill up the roster.
Secondary- I didn't address CB which I wanted to. The 54th pick is the only early pick left as I wanted Matthews, Wood and Jennings. Don't know if A.Smith/Moore will be there. Got the Safety in the 4th, which could be a round or two early. Wilson, Ferguson, Barber, Harrison + Mitchell. Mitchell is a guy to groom in there. Reeves, Bennett, Molden plus Dunta. With no CB addressed let's hope we re-sign Dunta.
Thanks for the input. Casey seems like a "good guy" that fits on the team- that's what I'm going for with this draft. I don't know enough about DJ Moore and his personality/character. So I don't want to plug a need in if I don't know much about the player. With that said.. He's a slot Corner that could play Slot WR and take over Return duties on special teams. That would free up the WR/PR pick later on in the draft. But again, I don't know if Moore is a leader/good guy or if he's a problem guy (no reports). That's something interviews could help with. If he's a go then that addresses the secondary plus return duties (two possible needs, imo)

Re: Ole Miss Texan's Wish List/Projection
1. Matthews, I think it's pretty clear that he wouldn't be playing every down, every game. This is a guy we could mold into what we need coverage wise while he can go out and be a passrushing terror (something we so sorely need) from step 1 on any team.
2. Wood, I like this pick
2. Casey, OMG this is great.
3. Jennings, teh yes
4. Mitchell, Don't know much about him but I think I'd rather hit up a CB or DE here. Doesn't matter much though, this is a great draft.
5. Williams, good pick
6. Cosby, I think I might go after a different WR here...maybe somebody with a little more speed? Isn't that the big knock on him?
7. McDonald, good i guess. we've done worse with 7ths
great draft omt, we sing a very similar tune for the future of this team!!!!

Nice picks, I would also like to have Sidbury and or Greg Isander and maybe even try grabbing Max Unger. Sidbury has the speed to get into the backfield and Isander is a BIG ZBS guard that can compete for the starting role.

Re: Ole Miss Texan's Wish List/Projection
Nice mock.
I really like the trade down. And I hope Woods is still available at #46. At #54 I would look at Andy Levitre OG from Oregon St. If we add Woods and Levitre to our OL then we are done there. Not until we have to replace Pitts will we be looking OL. With Brown Pitts Woods Levitre Winston our problems in the middle of the OL are gone.
Add a big back like Jennings and we should be better in short yardage.

Re: Ole Miss Texan's Wish List/Projection
Matthews just makes no sense to me. If we're going to try to convert a pass rushing DE into a 4-3 SLB base on athleticism then I'd rather have Connor Barwin. Barwin is bigger, faster, better vertical leap, and the exact same on bench press as Matthews. I'd also rather have Clint Sintim, he's more of a 3-4 pass rush OLB and he's a little stiff but he's big, quick, and strong. Sintim would be good at stopping the run but he'd be a liability on pass coverage but that could be eliminated or limited by getting better at SS to handle the pass coverage of the TE or RB.

Totem Newbie
Hello everyone, I am new to this list, and found my way here somehow when I did a search for the garden totems. I have a couple questions. I am having some trouble finding my way around on this site. I believe at one time I found a gallery of photos of totems, but now I cannot find it...
I am looking in particular for a picture of a totem someone made which had a glass fish on top and in the middle a fishbowl with a small glass fish hanging inside. Does it ring a bell with anyone?
I am in the process of collecting some glass and hope to try my hand at my first one in the next week or so... Thanks in advance.... Darlene In MI

Erika hat uns super herzlich empfangen :-)
Das Zimmer war super, der Ausblick aus dem Fenster genial
I stayed for 1 night in Dubai, after my 2-month trip through Oman and India. It was a highlight on the end of my journey - i enjoyed Erikas well located loft with the amazing view over the skyline of Downtown from my bed and to Burj Khalifa from the balcony! Erika is a very friendly and helpful person and i felt at home away from home!
Erika, thank you for your hospitality!
Erika met us on arrival and made us feel welcome. She was hospitable and informative. The location of the loft is very good being close to the Dubai mall and the fountains. The room was clean and tidy and easy to access. I would recommend anyone travelling to Dubai to this address.
Très chouette séjour chez Erika! Erika est très accueillante et attentive à ce que ses invités passent un très bon séjour. Pari réussi en ce qui nous concerne!

I thought of writing a program to evaluate factorial of a given integer.
Following basics I wrote the below code in java :
long fact(int num){
if(num == 1)
return 1;
return num*fact(num-1);
But then I realized that for many integer input the result may not be what is desired and hence for testing directly gave input as 100.
My doubt was true as Result I got was "0"(cause result might be out of range of long).
So,I am just curious and eager to know as how may I make my program work for inputs<=150.
I would appreciate any valid solution in C programming language or Java.

selling figs?
mbrown297(6b)September 26, 2004
This last year was my first time selling and I did pretty well - over 1,200 pounds of tomatoes, 50 pounds of basil and other assorted herbs and vegetables. I also sold figs from two trees of mine. I find the quality and taste is highly superior to anything imported and few other growers around here in NJ can supply figs. My customers love them, though this year I didn't have nearly enought for everyone.
I have about two dozen young trees that will come into production next year and another dozen or so that I rooted to grow on later. My question is if anyone else out there is growing figs on a small scale, and how do you find it?
Thanks for the info.

Thanks to all who made Pioneer Days a
great success in 2014!
Thank you for visiting Marquand, Missouri. We are creating this website so that you can visit our community online and see all of the opportunities Marquand has to offer for you, your family and your business. Please check back soon for more progress.
Who We Are
Marquand is located in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains, surrounded on three sides by the Mark Twain National Forest. Marquand was originally settled in 1804 by Capt. Henry Whitener and Michael Mouser, and was known as Whitener Settlement. The town was renamed in 1869 after Henry G. Marquand, a railroad administrator, donated $1,000 for the construction of a church. The town was incorporated in 1906. In 1924 a highway bridge was built over the Castor River.
1890: Asa Augusta Cook, was the first Marshall of Marquand. He and his wife Polly Ann first lived there after marriage. His uncle, Julius "Jude" Cook, was presiding judge of Madison County at Fredericktown (county seat) for 20 years. His wife, Lulu Cook, and their children ran a dairy farm for 30 years- selling milk, butter, and cream to the people of Fredericktown.
What's New

Two new bed and breakfasts now receiving guests!
Located at 116 North Harding, Aunt Kat's B & B is now open.
The Belmont Inn Bed & Breakfast at 107 East Morley - Proprietor: Dee Vitt
Sadly neglected, yet richly engrained into the history of this railroad boom town, The Belmont Inn takes its name from the service branch of the Missouri Pacific Railroad by the same identity. Built around 1890 of lumber milled within the community, the home has graced Marquand's landscape for more than 100 years. Now, thanks to the insight of former Marquand resident, Dee (Mouser) Vitt, the home will hopefully remain an integral part of the community's rich history for yet another century. Read more…

Soccer roundup: Arsenal stretches Premier League lead
Gunners blank Southampton. Iniesta, Fabregas fuel Barcelona with Messi sidelined.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Arsenal extended its Premier League lead to four points with a 2-0 win over Southampton on Saturday while Liverpool was held to a 3-3 draw at Everton.
Arsenal bounced back from a defeat to defending champion Manchester United with a dominant display, capped by two goals from Olivier Giroud. The first came after Southampton goalkeeper Artur Boruc bizarrely lost the ball to the France striker in the box.
Substitute Daniel Sturridge salvaged a draw for Liverpool. Chelsea reasserted its title credentials with a 3-0 win at West Ham.
Arsenal leads Liverpool and Chelsea by four points after 12 games. Liverpool is second on goals scored.
SPANISH LEAGUE: Andres Iniesta and Cesc Fabregas made penalty kicks to help injury-battered Barcelona to a 4-0 win at home over 10-man Granada in the Spanish league. Carlos Vela scored four times to rally Real Sociedad from a two-goal deficit for a 4-3 victory against 10-man Celta Vigo.
Injured Lionel Messi watched from the sidelines at Camp Nou as Iniesta and Fabregas took turns drawing fouls from Granada's overly aggressive defenders.
Iniesta scored Barcelona's first goal in the 20th minute and Fabregas made it 2-0 in the 40th. Granada played a man down from the 66th after Manuel Iturra received his second booking. Alexis Sanchez scored five minutes later, and Pedro Rodriguez capped Barcelona's victory in the 90th.
The win, for now, moved Barcelona six points ahead of second-place Atletico Madrid and nine points ahead of Real Madrid before the title rivals played games late Saturday.
BUNDESLIGA: Bayern Munich defeated Borussia Dortmund 3-0 in the Bundesliga, with Mario Goetze coming off the bench to score against his childhood club and Arjen Robben and Thomas Mueller adding late goals.
Bayern kept its four-point lead but Dortmund dropped to third with its second straight loss dropped. It trails Bayer Leverkusen, which won 1-0 at Hertha Berlin.
"It looks like a clear-cut victory but it was only 1-0 until the 85th minute. They had to try to force things at the end and we used the space," Robben said.
In other matches, Eintracht Frankfurt overcame a two-goal deficit before yielding a late equalizer in a 3-3 draw at home against Schalke.
Nuremberg remained without a win this season by playing to a 1-1 draw at home with Wolfsburg. Freiburg won 1-0 at Eintracht Braunschweig, and Augsburg beat Hoffenheim 2-0.
ITALY SERIE A: Last-place Chievo Verona beat Hellas Verona 1-0 with a final-minute goal in the Italian league.
Left unmarked inside the area, Dejan Lazarevic scored with a powerful shot in the second minute of added time for his first Serie A goal.
It was Chievo's first match since Eugenio Corini was rehired as coach. The victory, for now, moved Chievo even with Sampdoria and Catania at the bottom of the standings. Hellas remained sixth.

When all the rhetoric has disappeared, all of us are left with ONLY empirical evidence, i.e. what actually worked and what didn't. That is what I ultimately use to judge anyone's or anything's performance in this world. On this site alone, I hear about more dvd read/write failures in one week that I've experienced in all 25+ years of using tapes in corporate and home environments.
Tape worked, continues to work, and SHOULD continue to work into the future. It has proven itself! That still CANNOT be said of these cute plastic discs. In real life, these discs along with the writers and readers they rely on fail over and over and over again. Period. They are fun for passing around video, music, and such to friends and family in the short term. But for archiving? They receive a fail grade. No thanks kiddo.

Just so I clarify the intent of my original post, I was interested in finding out if there is further evidence to support the statement that dvd-r's only last about 7 years. That, to me, is a radical departure from all other claims of longevity I've heard these past few years. For those of us who make money doing media conversions I won't complain...it will help me to continue to earn $$$ from those who don't want to mess with the process.
The tape vs. dvd archiving argument really is a separate issue compared to the advantages of storing one's personal videos on a dvd: chapter points, menus, etc. It would just be nice to know if in 6+ years - rather than 25 - consumers will have to start worrying about replacing their deteriorating disks.
Stay tuned, I'll report back here in 2013.
The problem is...
The guy off the street doesn't know all this stuff, doesn't have a clue. To convert someone's cherished video from VHS or Hi-8 or whatever to dvd without letting them know about the limits of the physical media, as well as the existence of possible alternatives, borders on the unethical. As long as your customer is informed...
Just to add my info on discs: I've burned the entire japanese series across 15 DVD-R (ritek 5) and they all played perfectly the first time. They played fine a few times over the span of 6 months until a couple days ago. Discs 7 and 8 were skipping a lot, lagged in video and images were breaking up a lot. This happened regardless of which player (2 portable DVD players, 2 stand alone players, and a PC running PowerDVD). The PC software even hung up and I had to force a restart.
A through check revealed a lot of read errors across that 2 discs. There are NO visible scratch, dust, smudge, etc. So I guess these 2 discs just failed after just a few plays over 6 months. Thankfully I had original on my PC so I just reburned fresh copy. Will post back if I run into more problem with the rest of the 6 months old set.
lord smurf seems to be saying that DVDR ( dyed ) are more
longer lasting than DVD RAM ..... i do not see anywhere that he says that DVD RAM Is most reliable or Large corporations and businesses backup data on RAM for it's reliability ?
Dye-based media (CD-R, DVD+/-R) use different dyes that are susceptible to damage from UV light, heat, and humidity. Some dyes can break down in as little as 3 months (CD-Rs that were not cured before the sputtering vacuum chamber in order to save costs.) A good quality CD-R using phthalocyanine dye (most of them) should last about 70 years if it was recorded well and kept in good storage conditions. DVD+/-R use a less stable cyanine or azo-cyanine dye as well as a sandwich construction. They are more susceptible to humidity than CD-Rs and are less tolerant of changes in flatness. The best they can expect is about 35 years under the same conditions. These estimates are based on environmental testing according to the Eyring formula and using two stress levels of heat and humidity.
Phase change media are not affected by light, only heat and humidity. If the targets used for the evaporated metal are correctly chosen and have no contaminants, the discs may last even longer than dye-based equivalents. Certainly DVD-RAM, with its dielectric thermal layers, is the longest lasting of the common phase change discs. The problem with phase change materials is that the quenching/recrystalization process depends on the uniformity of the shape of the recording laser. If that varies because different drives are used, then problems arise. The greatest problem, however, is incompatible formatting. That causes more losses of people's data than any other factor in CD-RW problems.
LordSmurf seems to advocate based on scientific research, and I view his advice on "The more likely explanation for "bad media" is one of three things:" to be plain speaking and clear.
However, he did not mention the US DOD study a few years back which showed that degradation of the ink dye layer of consumer grade blank media is not only possible but probable, and degradation rate varies widely across brand name providers.
There are a few different chemical formulas for the ink dye layer, and you the consumer do not know when the supplier/manufacturer has changed formulas. The brand name provider may not even care!
I for many years depended on the Taiyo Yuden brand, and I personally hope lordsmurf is dead-on right about the longevity of the ink dye layer consumer grade blank media.
There is a readily available alternative, which may not be for everyone.
There is a brand of blank disc which does not use any ink dye layer whatsoever.
This type of disc is commonly referred to as M-Disc; which stands for Millennium Disc.
A few years ago when this type disc was new it was called the Cranberry Diamond Disc.
Today the LG brand 'M-Disc capable' BluRay burner is fairly inexpensive; the blank discs however are not inexpensive.
With typical consumer grade blank discs the burner drive laser beam causes a change (a pit) in the ink dye layer of the disc at a specific point.
With the M-Disc burner drive the laser beam causes a physical pit in the disc rock-like substrate.
The blank M-Disc is available in plain silver finish and in matte white inkjet printable DVD and BluRay media.
The M-Disc once written to, is playable in any normal DVD, BluRay player.
Please do your own research into M-Discs.
IMHO, the best backup procedure is redundancy. If you do not possess the original and a minimum of two copies on hard drive somewhere, at least one of which must be offsite, you ain't truly backed up.
For those of you who absolutely must have that hard copy which you can hold in your hand, you have a choice; the ink dye layer disc route or the M-Disc route.
I personally view the M-Disc route as viable only for my most precious data, family pictures , family videos , etc. Even then it is only because I believe in a robust backup procedure, and because I instinctively distrust hard drives, flash memory, the Cloud, etc.
With any disc, one must avoid physically damaging the disc which can destroy the disc.
Also, the 'silver coating' that was referred to may be what we call 'the label' .
You want to quickly destroy a disc, physically gouge, scrape, the label.
Achievement unlocked: Forum Grave Digging!
The last post was almost 9 years ago. Blu-ray wasn't available back then, much less a BD burner.
Dear Gentle Reader,
The Q of How long can a burned consumer grade disc be expected to last has not changed.
Clearly, it has also not yet been resolved.

Help make it easier for other Avvo users to choose the right lawyer by sharing your experience with this attorney. It's fast, simple, and safe.
Lawyers: Use the Peer Endorsements section to provide input about other attorneys.
It your choice but in my opinion I would avoid this lawyer because from my experience he appears to persue other interests over the clients. I personally found this law firm to be very distasteful. Most lawyers are decent and work hard and try to actually provide ethical representation. Please find someone who had the goal of helping you.

Memphis utility chooses SmartSynch for project
Published: August 13,2010
Tags: energy, energy conservation, energy efficiency, utilities
JACKSON — SmartSynch Inc. has been selected by Memphis Light, Gas and Water (MLGW), the largest three-service public utility in the nation, as the solutions provider for its three-year Smart Grid Demonstration Project launched earlier this year.
SmartSynch will provide approximately 1,000 participating households with SmartSynch SmartMeters that will automatically read and record hourly information about their energy usage and the cellular network services to enable two-way communications between MLGW, the smart meter and participating customers.
SmartSynch will also provide in-home energy displays to half of the participants to monitor real-time energy use and cost information. The remaining half will be able to monitor their usage information online via a special MLGW website.
As an added benefit, participants will no longer be subjected to estimated meter readings, or the need to report outages (since the smart meters will send outage signals automatically to the utility).
MLGW will install hardware for the 1,000 participants later this year.
For MLGW, the goal of the demonstration is two-fold: begin informing and motivating customers to better control electricity usage; and, gain sufficient results and participant feedback to develop a business case for the future deployment of smart grid solutions throughout its entire service territory. In 2008, MLGW households used 36 percent more electricity than the U.S. average. Smart grid technology is another tool to help customers identify energy consumption and make improvements to lower their usage—while lowering their utility costs.
"We are pleased that our smart grid solution will play a role in helping MLGW bring their electricity grid into the 21st century," said Stephen Johnston, SmartSynch's chief executive officer. "This is yet another testament to the value of smart grid solutions utilizing existing cellular networks in lieu of a multi-million dollar private network build-out. Without existing cellular networks, it would be economically impossible for MLGW to strategically deploy this depth of remote functionality in increments of one to two thousand households."
