Our performers are dressed just like everyone else, leaving all of the guests to suspect who is a part of the show and who is not. In many instances, guests are seated with the performers and don't even realize it until they die...the performers, that is! Our Detectives proceed to interrogate everyone and find clues as more people die. At the end of the night, prizes are awarded to the Top Sleuth who solves the crime. Each ticket includes a reception with tray passed appetizers, mixed green salad, choice of entree (beef, chicken or pasta), dessert, award winning interactive Murder Mystery show, prizes and so much more. **Every Saturday night through 12/26/2015.

Great Shorts
Perfect length! Appropriate enough for work, yet casual enough for the weekend. Quality seems good (zippers, stitches, etc.), but after a handful of washes on cold, gentle cycle with Woolite-no dryer, some of the color has faded.
August 16, 2013
Great Shorts
These shorts are wonderful. The length is perfect, not too short and not too long. It's difficult to find shorts that are just the right length, especially ones that aren't too short. The Limited hit it right on with these shorts. The fabric is also very nice.
July 31, 2013
Luv the short!
I buy shorts from the Limited only so it always fit perfectly. Love the cut and color.
July 27, 2013
Good on sale
I bought black and red when they were on sale for $19 each. I am a true drew size 4, but ended up sizing down to a 2, because I felt the waist was a wee big and the butt a little saggy on the 4. I think it will depend on your proportions. The fabric is thick, a bit stiff even, which can be a good and bad thing. I just wish they were 0.5 in- 1in longer, because they ride up when I sit down. I might take the cuff down manually. But otherwise, for $19 bucks plus a $15 dollar reward coupon, I didn't feel I could pass them up. FYI, not all of the drew shorts this summer are fitting the same. The OBR polka dot drews run much larger, and the drews with navy palm trees on them also run larger (the fabric is different than for the solids, which don't have a whole lot of stretch). Its a bit annoying, so go to the store to try on for sure.
July 8, 2013
Great for Summer
These shorts are very comfortable-I went up a size (compared to my pants size) and I'm kinda glad I did-only because the shorts do cut a little higher/shorter in the thigh area. Otherwise, they're very comfortable and practical. Dress them up or down :)
June 26, 2013
Perfect Shorts
I love these shorts. The blue color looks great and the fit is not too short, which I like.

MAGS OUT / INTERNET OUT/ONLINE OUT/NO SALES/TV OUT/FOREIGN OUT/ LOUISIANA BUSINESS INC./GREATER BATON ROUGE BUSINESS REPORT/225/10/12/IN REGISTER/LBI CUSTOM PUBLICATIONS/ Robin Fambrough | Advocate sportswriter Feb. 02, 2013 Comments A 90-minute meeting that involved select-school coaches and administrators provided what Parkview Baptist Principal Don Green called "positive dialog," along with a plan to inform the Louisiana High School Athletic Association's executive committee of its views and questions. The Tuesday meeting at Parkview attracted principals from as far away as Shreveport and Lake Charles. The Baton Rouge-based select-schools meeting was the area's first since LHSAA member principals voted Friday to divide schools into separate football playoffs for nonselect and select schools starting this fall. "We had a very productive meeting from the standpoint of understanding the association's position and also trying to understand ours without being angry or reactive," Green said. "There was a very nice result. And that result is that Myra Mansur (the athletic director at Episcopal), who is on the (LHSAA's) executive committee, will be reporting to the executive committee. There's a Thursday meeting there (at the LHSAA office). "She will be reporting the sentiment of this group. We want to work with the association. We want to be compliant, obviously to the rules, while also making the association realize that this is something we really do not agree with." Many of those on hand declined comment as they left the closed-door meeting that was not open to the public or the media. Ron Brocato of the New Orleans-based Clarion-Herald newspaper reported that a similar closed-door meeting is planned in the New Orleans area Thursday. LHSAA Executive Director Kenny Henderson was out of the office Tuesday, and his assistant, Donna Davidson, said plans for a meeting later this week wouldn't be finalized until Wednesday. Catholic High football coach Dale Weiner said he was impressed with how the group calmly and collectively discussed working with the LHSAA and other numerous options, including potential litigation and the possibility that select schools, many of which are private schools, would elect to form their own association. "I think the consensus was that we can't sit on our hands and accept the status quo," Weiner said. "I don't think anybody wants to leave the association. "But there was discussion about making our feelings known to the LHSAA, about some of the other possibilities out there, like litigation and about forming a separate association. "With that said, who knows what's going to happen from here? This was just one meeting. But I was real impressed with the way everyone discussed a number of things without being emotional about it." Notre Dame-Crowley football coach Lewis Cook added, "It was very productive to get everybody's thoughts and feelings. Nobody wants to leave the LHSAA, but nobody is happy with this plan to split it, either. But we did get a plan together. That's what today was about." Shreveport's Evangel Christian was represented at the meeting, along with Natchitoches-based St. Mary's. The list of Baton Rouge schools in attendance included PBS, Episcopal, The Dunham School, St. Michael the Archangel, Catholic High, St. John-Plaquemine, Ascension Catholic and St. Joseph's Academy.

Phoronix: Kudos To Peter Hutterer With X.Org 7.5
X.Org 7.5 with X Server 1.7 will be arriving months late once it's released after failing to meet the original April release schedule and then failed twice with two more proposed releases during the summer. However, the latest release schedule, which puts the final release in late September or so, might actually work out this time -- in good part thanks to Peter Hutterer.Peter Hutterer is the university student from Australia that developed Multi-Pointer X (to be found in X Server 1.7) and is responsible for a great deal of other work with X.Org when it comes to input and who now works for Red Hat...
well, it's fucking unbelievable. when will there be a post on linus' contribution? also, any word on my hours of troubleshooting help? come on, what's it with phoronix posting these kinda news items... :-/
Phoronix praises a proposed X.org release schedule?
FLEE!!! IT's the end of the world as we know it! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
Thanks man
I've dealt with Peter once when trying to fix a touch screen driver. he's awesome, expect more big things from this guy
I haven't met the guy, though hopefully he comes to an LCA sometime and I remember who he is.
There is a lot of people that deserve Kudos IMO. People from the Wine project, Linux kernel, game developers, sponsors of open source projects.
If only there was a system in place which allowed the easy purchase and delivery of beer to any developer/volunteer world wide!
-1 kudo for Phoronix
This guy is just as important as any X.org contributor, and you know it.
All I can say is woo-hoo! Kudos to Peter.
Peter is stepping up and taking care of things, this really needed to be done. He is personally making sure things are moving forward (with the help of others, but he is the catalyst).
Yes, others deserve kudos for continuing to excellently contribute to open source. But when someone changes the direction of a project for the better they deserve special recognition.
I've acquired the impression that part of the difficulty in shipping an Xorg release is the 'fog-of-war' like haze that obscures the direction and pace things are supposed to be going.
Nowhere in the article did it say that Peter is the only contributor, or the only important contributor, but by stepping up his role and taking on more responsibility he validates the project and the development model.
I applaud _all_ those things. Particularly since Xorg's gets love to needs love ratio has been out of wack for (at least) the past 3 years.

Living Room Faux Fireplace
I was wanting to add some spice to my new construction home. A formal living room which was missing the "living room" part; The concept was simple, create something my family and I could live around. Being the carpentry novice that I am, I found inspiration on the internet and gathered my ryobi miter saw and ryobi drill and began creating. Cutting the pine wood to size and contemplating angle cuts, my journey began. Carefully centering my 5' x 4' pine boards and removing existing baseboards and I drilled the pine to the wall studs. Priming, precise angle cuts, caulking and high gloss paint; my first masterpiece a genuine "Living room". The thought of spending Christmas with my daughter and enjoying our living room is now a reality.
Comments (1)
What a great addition to the room! It will be very fun to decorate at all the holidays. Nice work!

AC/DC: In The Studio biography due September 5th
by admin on Aug.05, 2010, under news
On September 5th, John Blake Publishing will release AC/DC In The Studio: The Stories Behind Every Album by music biographer Jake Brown.
"AC/DC have reigned over rock'n'roll for almost four decades. Their signature power chord rock was the sonic standard bearer of the genre they pioneered, summarised in Rolling Stone's declaration that they are 'one of the top hard rock bands in history'. The group has transcended their Australian roots to become a global phenomenon. Their albums consistently go platinum and they have earned their reputation as one of the best bands on the planet. The band's live arsenal includes 'It's a Long Way to the Top (If you Want to Rock'n'Roll)', 'Highway to Hell' and 'You Shook Me All Night Long' (which Billboard called 'the greatest one-night-stand anthem in rock history') and their influence is felt today as strongly as ever. Their most recent release Black Ice sold more than 1.5 million copies in its first week in 2008, making history by debuting at No 1 on album charts in 29 countries simultaneously. The record would go on to sell seven milion copies worldwide, spending serveral weeks in the top of the Billboard Top 200. As late as 2009 they were still getting the honours – winning the Best Hard Rock Performance Grammy over the likes of Alice in Chains, Linkin Park, Nickelback and Metallica. Featuring exclusive interviews with producers, engineers, as well as extensive, sourced commentary from band members on the making of such classics as 'Highway to Hell' and 'Back in Black', AC/DC: In the Studio is the definitive account of the making of the greatest hard rock anthems of all time."

To increase the quality of life and better support the economical development, we often appreciate adaptable solutions, simple interfaces, and virtual views for enhanced operation. The wide and increasing needs of adaptable and flexible solutions for many industrial, environmental, engineering, educational, entertainment, and biomedical applications point out the importance of using design methodologies and implementation technologies with high ability of adaptation and evolution. Computational intelligence is one of the most relevant answers to such needs. Virtual environments and human-computer interfaces are essential to effectively understand the operating environment and support interactive applications. On the other hand, accuracy and uncertainty issues as well as suited data acquisition systems must be carefully considered in these applications since the quality of the solution greatly relies on them. Up to now, analysis has been performed mainly to understand the underlying technologies and methodologies, but without any specific focus on the mandatory need of a quantitative assessment and a metrological analysis.
Papers are currently being solicited on all aspects of computational intelligence, human-computer interaction technologies, and virtual environments for measurement systems and the related applications, from the points of view of both theory and practice. This includes, but is not limited to, the following topics listed on the Call for Papers.

Evolving Classifiers to Recognize the Movement Characteristics of Parkinson's Disease Patients, by M. Lones, S. Smith, J. Alty, S. Lacy, K. Possin, D. Jamieson and A.M. Tyrrell, IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation, Vol. 18, No. 4, August 2014, pp. 559-576.

URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/TEVC.2013.2281532
"Parkinson's disease is a debilitating neurological condition that affects approximately 1 in 500 people and often leads to severe disability. To improve clinical care, better assessment tools are needed to increase the accuracy of differential diagnosis and disease monitoring. In this paper, the authors report how evolutionary algorithms were used to induce classifiers capable of recognizing the movement characteristics of Parkinson's disease patients. Two different classifier architectures were used: a sliding-window genetic programming classifier and an artificial biochemical network. These classifiers were trained and validated using movement recordings of 49 patients and 41 age-matched controls collected during a recent clinical study. Further analysis indicated a number of features of diagnostic relevance, including the differential effect of handedness and the over-representation of certain patterns of acceleration."

An Approach to Subjective Computing: A Robot That Learns from Interaction with Humans, by P. Gruneberg and K. Suzuki, IEEE Transactions on Autonomous Mental Development, Vol. 6, No. 1, March 2014, pp. 5-18.
Digital Object Identifier: 10.1109/TAMD.2013.2271739
URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/TAMD.2013.2271739
"This paper describes an approach to subjective computing for the design of future robots that exhibit more adaptive and flexible behavior in terms of subjective intelligence. Subjectivity concerns the relational arrangement of an agent's cognitive space. Subjective intelligence is implemented in terms of the reciprocity of autonomous self-referentiality and direct world-coupling, and the reinforcement learning agent is coached by means of binary feedback. The relational characteristic of subjectivity is further confirmed by a questionnaire on human perception of the robot's behavior. Experiments demonstrate that subjective intelligence in relational terms is fully tractable and therefore implementable in artificial agents."

Is there any card/driver that you can test Gallium3d and its features (ie opencl) NOW????
Phoronix: OpenCL Support Atop Gallium3D Is Here, Sort Of
OpenCL is present in NVIDIA's Linux driver as well as the just-released Mac OS X 10.6, but there is support for the Open Computing Language coming forward in the open-source world through the Gallium3D driver infrastructure.Back in February we heard a goal of having OpenCL in Gallium3D by this summer and then in May we heard that it was hopefully soon along with an OpenGL 3.1 state tracker. Well, it's just about September and the summer is nearing an end, but we now have OpenCL support in the works.Over on the FreeDesktop.org Git server is now a mesa/clover repository...
Is there any card/driver that you can test Gallium3d and its features (ie opencl) NOW????
i dont know about linux but afaik both the ati and nvidia beta windows drivers support it.
really nice!
From a while ago...
T 1249065383 18<idr> I guess that will depend on what VMware's priorities are. We (Intel) aren't using Gallium, so I'm almost completely out of the loop there.
T 1249065429 18<idr> The GL_ARB_geometry_shader spec was updated with 3.2 interactions.
T 1249065534 31<michaellarabel>30 Intel will not be switching to Gallium3D once it has matured?
T 1249065578 18<idr> I don't know, The problem is, and always has been, that we'd have to completely re-write our driver.
T 1249065682 31<michaellarabel>30 Do you have any plans to bring OGL 3.x to classic Mesa?
T 1249065813 18<idr> Since we just wrapped up our Q2 release, we're still formulating our future plans.
T 1249065948 31<michaellarabel>30 Okay.
TG/VMWare was also working on a driver for Cell processors IIRC.

- Increases flexiblity
- Made exclusively by Gaiam
Rated 3 out of 5 by 1
Rated 3 out of 5 by ajones1027 Its average
I have never purchased one of these straps before and this one is ok. I like the braided aspect of this because it gives you a bit more grip. However, I have not had this strap for long and I am not sure how long it will last either. The end that has the buckle on it is starting to a fray a bit where it is sewed together. I will see how it last. If I felt better about the quality of how this was made I would rate it higher because it is soft and easy to grip but I just don't feel its going to last long.

The author takes one swing at the root of the problem and then misses the solution by a wide stroke.
If as the author states, "In fact most of the story behind America's recent string of large deficits is slump-related, a result of lower tax revenues due to the underperforming economy, and increased spending on things like unemployment insurance, food stamps and Medicaid. As the economy recovers, revenues increase and safety-net spending declines, the debt-to-GDP ratio should return to a relatively stable level in the short term."
However our economic "slump" is not the result of the Government taking less from taxpayers as is suggested above, quite the opposite. Our Government is making our private sector much less competitive on a global scale and has been doing so for many years. We are far more globally connected than ever in our history and the notion that increased regulations and higher taxes don't compel business leaders to move their operations elsewhere for significant advantages is absurd.
Certainly when the economy eventually recovers from the longest recession in our history the ratios of our ill-conceived spending will become more favorable as the author celebrates. But in the meantime we are clogging the engines that could drive us to a faster recovery and doing so with more and more of the wrong policies.
On the one-hand the Fed has every monetary policy pressed into full acceleration to the risk and detriment of stable prices and on the other Obama has the fiscal policy brake and the parking brake fully engaged with higher taxes, increased regulations, mandatory healthcare, no budget for planning, and a host of disincentives for entrepreneurs to want to become fresh meat in this scheme. Net result is the tax base will decline and Government will keep applying more pressure to get even less.
Those companies that are willing to stick around for the tax hikes already have one leg and an arm in our nation's treasury and sit on some Obama board for "Corporate Growth" and pay virtually no taxes already.
Waste will always be with us and that is not the point. We have a real choice to have a fast growing economy or not. We have created an environment that puts Government above the people supposedly for the good of the people, you are witnessing the results.
Nope, I don't buy your argument.
In the 2013 Ease of Doing Business report, the USA was ranked near the top at #4
Singapore came top. Hardly a country without regulations of its own.
If one inspects the bottom of the same league table, you notice a lot of countries with with laissez-faire to regulations, the market and indeed what government is expected to offer.
To be fair I put aside my personal business experience including two medium sized international startups and considered your reference about what others consider 4th in 'Ease of Doing Business.'
What you failed to mention to readers about those rankings by the IFC is that the US is 69th in ease of paying taxes, 13th at starting a business, 19th for 'getting electricity for your business', 25th for registering property, and the stats you omitted go on and on with specific rankings in some case worse than Rwanda, Armenia or Azerbaijan to list but three countries. I am not surprised countries with regulations flourish or that we trail Singapore and a host of other nice places.
I could give you many more personal facts from starting and running businesses and links to how many of our most successful US businesses deliberately and unfortunately operate in tax havens around the globe or relocate medical centers to Beijing for these very reasons, but all that may be anecdotal to you. Look I accept the 'Ease of Doing Business' rankings however they were constructed, and highlight the onerous specifics you omitted.
Of course not all regulations are bad, and not all of our Fed and tax policies are terrible. But many of them arbitrarily and unnecessarily put us behind places like Rwanda and Singapore. It is unfortunate that these are simply preferences, choices and policies that put us behind so many other countries even as we claim our highest priority is creating jobs. Trust also that my own experiences have felt a lot of Government hot air to this growth they espouse.
You said "Our Government is making our private sector much less competitive on a global scale"
I gave you a survey by the IFC / World Bank that contradicts your statement (link below). The methodology includes all of the things you mention: starting a business, paying taxes, registering property and getting electricity.
Perhaps your experience hasn't been a good one, but as you noted your experience and my experience are anecdotal. What matters is the aggregate.
In addition I never asserted that the US couldn't improve. In particular the tax system is stupidy complex. I simply pointed out that overall it isn't that bad...
*Face Palm*
Consider that "making our country less competitive" is a progression not a snapshot of 4th place.
Surveys abound: Consider the World Economic Forum http://www.cnbc.com/id/48905756/US_Slips_Down_the_Ranks_of_Global_Compet...
Consider that since 2008 the US has fallen every year in the rankings from No. 1 spot. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44423519/ns/business-stocks_and_economy/t/us...
Consider that Apple is the largest American company by capitalization and one of the largest in the entire world. Yet 70% of Apple's $124B in cash is kept overseas. You don't have to be 69th in the world rankings in taxes as the US is listed to know this is not helpful to our global competitiveness. This is only one of dozens of categories in which we lag and are still falling.
My point remains quite evident and undisputed that we are making our country much less competitive and that is wholly arbitrary from an administration that pays lip service to priority #1: JOBS. I wish we would make better choices for business growth and much of the class warfare rhetoric about "makers" and "takers" would go away. Waste is not the root of the problem either.

I purchased a 2220 Fisherman and received it just under a month ago. It came with a Mercury Opti-Max 225 Pro-XS/ 20" shaft. The 2220 Fisherman has a 20" transom. I also have a 10" Bob's jack plate on the boat. WOT I can barely trim the motor up before I lose water pressure (max psi 18.1 and is normally around 13.0-13.5 @ 5,200 RPM). I was having some slight cavitation isuues with the boat when I first took it out. Prop was a 3 blade Tempest plus 21P. I sent the boat back to Blazer for that issue along with several other issues (missing extras, scrathes in the gel coat, 3" + crack in the fiberglass on one of the strakes, approx 5' of the keel was scratched and peeling, and a chip the size of a quarter down to the composite material on the right rear corner of the boat), the plastic nut that holds the ignition to the console was stripped, the forgot to send a seat, forgot to install the swim platform, etc, etc, etc. Anyway, blazer took it back and made all of the repairs and ran the boat to check out the cavitation complaint. Keith Craft ran the boat and said there was nothing wrong with it (they also made the other repairs, but the keel repair is starting to peel again) and sent it back with a Revolution 4 23P. I still see the same problems. With the motor @ level trim and the Jack plate all the way down, the cav plate is 5 1/2" above the Keel. My jack plate is mounted at the top of the transom. I talked to a Rep at Bob's and they stated that it should have been mounted in the center of the transom, as it states in the installation manual. I spoke to a Mercury Rep. and they stated that I need a 25" shaft. I spoke to several other people and they all say the same thing. It needs a 25" shaft. I've also talked to some people down in houma that said G&F down in Raceland had this problem with several Blazer's.
Everything on the boat was installed by Blazer. I only ordered extras such as the swim plat, boat cover, etc.
Can anyone give me some input? I'd like to know what I should do and if anyone has had this problem, because I think that I am about to go into battle for a 25" shaft or returning the boat for good.
PICTURES OF SOME OF THE ABOVE CAN BE VIEWED AT THE FOLLOWING LINK http://www.brookfacey.com/Blazer/

Interpretive Handbook
8773 :
Alpha-Mannosidase, Fibroblasts
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Alpha-mannosidosis is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by reduced or absent acid alpha-mannosidase enzyme activity. This enzyme is involved in glycoprotein catabolism, with absent or reduced activity resulting in the accumulation of undigested mannose-containing complex oligosaccharides in the lysosomes, disrupting the normal functioning of cells.
Clinical features and severity of symptoms are widely variable within alpha-mannosidosis, but in general, the disorder is characterized by skeletal abnormalities, immune deficiency, hearing impairment, and mental retardation. Three clinical subtypes of the disorder have been described and they vary with respect to age of onset and clinical presentation. Type 1 is generally classified by a mild presentation and slow progression with onset after 10 years of age and absence of skeletal abnormalities. Type 2 is generally a more moderate form with slow progression and onset prior to 10 years of age with skeletal abnormalities and myopathy. Type 3 is the most severe form and usually presents with prenatal loss or severe central nervous system involvement leading to an early death. The incidence of alpha-mannosidosis is estimated at 1 in 500,000 live births.
A diagnostic workup for alpha-mannosidosis may demonstrate slight elevations of oligosaccharides in urine, or reduced or absent enzyme activity of acid alpha-mannosidase in leukocytes (OLIWB / Oligosaccharidoses Screen, Leukocytes). Sequencing of MAN2B1 allows for detection of disease-causing mutations in affected patients and identification of familial mutations allows for testing of at-risk family members.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosis of alpha-mannosidosis
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
This enzyme is deficient in alpha-mannosidosis.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
This test cannot be used to establish carrier status for alpha-mannosidosis.
Interfering factors include lack of viable cells, bacterial contamination, failure to transport tissue in an appropriate media, excessive transport time, and exposure of the specimen to temperature extremes (freezing or >30 degrees C).
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

I am inspired to clean out and clear out in the new year. There is something about taking down the Christmas things and experiencing a bare home. Doesn't it all seem so empty once you put it all away? And I LOVE it. It seems to be contagious as it encourages me to start going through nooks and crannies in my home. I started the year off with a before and after of a linen closet for Jen's readers over at I Heart Organizing.
You can check out all of the details here and see how I made the top cabinet "guest ready" for anyone who pops in. I will also show you the dreaded before photos! It all was very simple and I never left the house or purchased a thing to make it happen. I feel very lucky to be a part of the I Heart Organizing team and you can see more of my guests posts right here.

Restaurants in the Theater District
Theater District restaurants have their work cut out for them. Not only do they need to provide good food at a good price, they have to be able to deliver it in time for you to get to the theater before the curtain rises. While it's true that many restaurants in the neighborhood—whose boundaries we have defined as 41st and 53rd streets, Ninth and Seventh avenues—fall short on one or more of those criteria, there are dozens of places where you can enjoy a genuinely good meal. The restaurants listed here range from inexpensive burger joints to ethnic eateries to established bistros. What they all have in common is that they offer value for the money.
Critic rating
Schnipper's Quality Kitchen $ | American, Burgers, Salads, Sandwiches, Restaurant 620 Eighth Ave. (at 41st Street) New York High-quality burger-stand fare, in a slick, industrial-chic setting. Besides burgers, dogs, fries and "handcrafted" shakes, there are sandwiches (tuna salad, grilled four cheeses, BLT), fish tacos, sloppy Joes, mac and cheese and grown-up salads (beet and goat cheese, fig and blue cheese, Asian chicken).

Sagging gutters not only affect the appearance of your home but can lead to water damage over time. Find out how to repair gutters and when to call in a pro
There are numerous ways that gutters can become clogged and identifying these reasons can allow you to prevent this frustrating occurrence in the future.
Your gutters' downspouts perform a critical task in keeping your home dry. So why aren't they working? One highly rated provider shares four possible reasons.
Angie's Answers
Two notes #1 20 feet is going to cost you more per foot that 100 feet. #2 All prices are relative to Your market ie Omaha is less expensive than St Lious. Here expect to pay on the 100 foot job $5 to $6 per foot of gutter (5" aluminum) plus the $4 to $5 a foot for the downspouts and $15 to $20 for soffit and facsia covering ie vinyl soffit panels and painted or vinyl clad aluminum covering the fascia. In the trade a soffit & fascia job.

Not knowing what type of eaves (the lower edge of the roof) you had before the new soffits were intalled I have to guess what might have happened. If you had closed eves (no soffits, just rafter tails with blocking between) before as was done on some older homes it is possible they removed or drilled holes through to the attic. When this was done there should have been a baffle installed to direct the air flow up and over the insulation. This would only be possible for the soffit installer to do if the wood blocking was removed and not just had holes drilled in it. If the insulation contractor did not go all the way to the exterior wall that could very well be the cause or it he did not make sure the insulation was pushed down to make contact with the ceiling material. If the house was never cold before I would bet the problem is at the eaves. You should call the insulation company for an answer.
The ice build-up in the gutter should not, provided they are properly attached and solid, rip out the gutter.
When you get snow slides and large chunks of frozen precip that let go and slide down the roof with velocity, those are what tear off the gutters and create damage.
If you are concerned about the snow load, a snow rake and/or a proper roofer can remove some of the accumulated snow.
Some ice damming is unavoidable in the correct conditions but I would urge you to look into proper ventilation of the roof and air sealing and insulation. This will reduce your home's inclination to form these ice dams in the future.

D-backs, Padres to meet for first time of season
San Diego ace Cashner squares off with veteran Arroyo in opener
The D-backs and Padres get their first looks at each other in a three-game series at Petco Park, which begins Friday night.
These are two organizations that are plenty familiar with each other.
Not only do the teams play 19 times during the regular season and at least twice every spring, but Padres general manager Josh Byrnes held a similar post in Arizona before being dismissed during the 2010 season. He eventually was replaced by Kevin Towers, who previously had been the GM in San Diego.
It's Towers now that is facing mounting pressure in Arizona, where his D-backs have a franchise-record $110 million payroll and have gotten off to the worst start in club history.
"How would I characterize it?" D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said of his team. "Underachieving. We haven't played well. We talk about it every day. We're much better than this."
The Padres, meanwhile, have treaded water so far this year after being hit with some key injuries.
One constant throughout for San Diego has been the pitching of right-hander Andrew Cashner, who will start Friday.
Cashner (2-3) has lost his last two starts, but in fairness, the last time out against the Nationals he faced Tanner Roark, who tossed a three-hit shutout.
Cashner felt like his stuff in that game was as good as it had been in his previous five, but he left some pitches out over the middle of the plate and the Nats made him pay.
"I thought I threw some of the best pitches I've had," Cashner said after the game. "I just couldn't stop the bleeding."
That also has been a problem for D-backs right-hander Bronson Arroyo, who will oppose Cashner.
A bulging disk in his back during Spring Training had Arroyo behind, and though he did not miss a regular season start, he was not at full strength at the outset.
In his last start, Arroyo showed a bit of the pitcher the D-backs thought they were getting when they signed him to a two-year, $23.5 million free-agent deal in February. He allowed just two runs over 6 1/3 innings against the Phillies and was in line for the win before the bullpen gave up the lead in the eighth.
One of the biggest keys for the Padres has been the bullpen, which currently has the best ERA of any group in the big leagues. They've also drawn praise from members of the starting rotation, like southpaw Robbie Erlin, who started Wednesday night in San Francisco.
"They've done a phenomenal job," Erlin said. "Obviously, as a starting pitcher, you want to go as deep into the game as you can, also to help them out so they're always fresh. Being able to turn the ball over to all those guys is remarkable. They've done an outstanding job and contributed to every win. It's awesome."
D-backs: Gibson stays positive
The slow start to the season has led to speculation about Gibson's job status, but it is not something he is focused on.
"What I do is I come here every day, prepare and try to get these guys to play a good game, try to win a game," Gibson said. "I do that every day until I'm told something differently. I'm not worried about myself. I'm worried about the team, my obligation to the organization and the fans and Major League Baseball. That's the approach I will take every day that I'm ever involved in anything like this. And if I'm not involved in something like this, I will always stand up for baseball. It's treated me very well, I've had some great, historic moments, and that's ultimately what we're trying to do here, is be a part of baseball history in a positive way."
Padres: Denorfia is D-backs killer
It wouldn't be surprising to find out that the first thing outfielder Chris Denorfia does when the schedule is released is check to see when the Padres will be playing the D-backs.
To put it simply: Denorfia owns the D-backs.
In 56 career games against Arizona, Denorfia has hit .339 with nine home runs and 20 RBIs. His OPS mark is an outstanding .966.
Last season, Denorfia hit .303 with a pair of home runs and an OPS of .870 against Arizona.
Worth noting
• Cashner is making is sixth career start and 10th appearance against the D-backs. He is 3-0 with a 3.81 ERA against Arizona. In his starts, he is 2-0 with a 3.70 ERA.
• D-backs first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is 3-for-6 with a homer in his career against Cashner, while outfielder Gerardo Parra is 3-for-7. On the other hand, second baseman Aaron Hill is 0-for-3.
• In three home starts this year, Cashner is 2-0 with a 0.81 ERA, and dating back to the start of last season, he has a 1.70 ERA at Petco Park.
• In six career starts at Petco Park, Arroyo has a 2.13 ERA.
• Veteran Randy Wolf allowed three runs (two earned) over 5 1/3 innings for the D-backs' Triple-A affiliate Tuesday night.

Is it Paula Patton thats up for the lead or Paul Patton?
It looks as if Legendary Pictures is now moving forward with their big screen adaptation of World of Warcraft. Deadline.com is reporting:
"Legendary Pictures and Atlas Entertainment are casting up Warcraft, the movie adaptation of the hit Blizzard video game World Of Warcraft that Duncan Jones will direct."
The film, which will be directed by Duncan Jones (Moon), has currently made offers to Colin Farrell (Total Recall) and Paula Patton (Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol). Patton is negotiating for the lead, where Farrell is reported to be 50/50 on the project.
The picture was originally slated for a Warner Brothers release but, with Legendary's recent break from Warner it will now land at Universal.
Warcraft is based on the World of Warcraft online game that "takes place in a medieval-like setting where players control avatars that take on gryphons, dragons, zombies, werewolves and elves. Time travel and alien worlds also are part of the mix". Production of the film begins in January 2014.

Well its obvious Paula can get it only if she agrees to a sex change. Colin is 50/50 on it becuase he's also trying to decide if he should become Colleen.
I know next to nothing aout the game since I've never played. I was interested in the movie somewhat way back when Sam Raimi might possibly direct. Now I will just wait for a trailer or good set and and actor pics. It would be cool to see another epic fantsy movie.
So I'm assuming she is going to be a night elf hunter wearing a little clothing as they can get away with.
I've never played the game but had I never read the LotR trilogy either but it didn't stop me from enjoying the movies.
Paula Patton is hot. Can't believe she's married to Alan Thicke's son.
I'm all over this. I love medieval fantasy movies and feel like not enough are made.
For the record, I never played World of Warcraft although I remember playing Warcraft:Orcs and Humans on my PC many years ago when it was just a strategy game.
It sounds cool, lets hope they spin it correctly. This movie has been in the works for five plus years, to bad they did not roll it out when WOW was in its hay day. I mean I think the game still has something like 8 million paying members, that have been playing for 10 years. The movie will get over 10 million people seeing it world wide in its first two or three weeks alone. I'll go since I let that game suck almost 5 years of my life away...lol.
Ummm I remember when I looked forward to D&D coming out and then I almost cried in the theater at how bad it was.
It came out in November 2004...so its been sucking my life force away for the past 9 years....although i dont really play as much as i used too...got tired of the same ole thing time after time.
I get where you're coming from, almostunbiased...D&D was dreadful, and most movies based on video games are less than stellar in my opinion...however, this movie DOES have the advantage of having the director of "Moon" and "Source Code"...so I'm wary, but hopeful.
