Excellent location visited the hotel several times and will visit again, however the menu choice is poor and draught beer non existent even though they advertise local brewery beer.
Service in the restaurant
At breakfast on both mornings there was a distinct lack of 'get up and go' by the waiting on staff, we had to ask twice for tea and a cooked breakfast on the first morning and then had to go and find someone to serve us on the second morning, we decided not to eat at the restaurant in the evenings due to cost and choice, we instead walked over the road and ate at Tweedies Bar which we found excellent in every way
Got up graded on arrival .
we really enjoyed our stay...

The room we/were given the bath was so high I could not use it so we were moved to a smaller room which was very poor.
The lady on reception was not very helpful. There was no one to help with luggage we were told where the lift was. My husband who should not be carrying bags had to deal with them and as he is going up to 80. We have stayed in other hotels in Grasmere and never had a problem.

Beautiful little country hotel right in the centre of Grasmere
Ideal location, lovely open fire in the reception area and top class breakfast in the morning.
Complete with a beautiful snowy view as we awoke to a white covering. Lovely relaxation area which is open until late so perfect for a swim and jacuzzi before bed.

Excellent service provided by all staff.
The hotel takes centre stage, within the village of grassmere.
Excellent location. Greeting on arrival at the hotel most welcoming. I can not praise the staff of this hotel enough, they provided great service, responding promptly to any request made. And the food what can I say, superb breakfast through to dinner the standard never slipped. Some of the hotel looks a little tired, but I felt it was part of the charm. Very clean throughout. Will definitely recommend people to visit.

by Cooper, J. California
A dramatic and thought-provoking novel of one family's triumph in the face of the hardships and challenges of the post-Civil War South.
The Wake of the Wind, J. California Cooper's third novel, is her most penetrating look yet at the challenges that generations of African Americans have had to overcome in order to carve out a home for themselves and their families. Set in Texas in the waning years of the Civil War, the novel tells the dramatic story of a remarkable heroine, Lifee, and her husband, Mor. When Emancipation finally comes to Texas, Mor, Lifee, and the extended family they create from other slaves who are also looking for a home and a future, set out in search of a piece of land they can call their own. In the face of constant threats, they manage not only to survive but to succeed--their crops grow, their children thrive, they educate themselves and others. Lifee and Mor pass their intelligence, determination, and talents along to their children, the next generation to surge forward. At once tragic and triumphant, this is an epic story that captures with extraordinary authenticity the most important struggle of the last hundred years.

Yay for holidays. Not so great for my inspiration, which has so conveniently run dry AFTER MY EXAMS FINISH.
I've left this piece lying around for a month before I finally finished it and decided to put it up, in lieu of a lack of inspiration.
Oh hey, what a lousy introduction. Not even going to bother explaining who's doing what to who.
Oh wow, ironic that I can't think up good summaries for the fics I think are good, but the ones I never publish have amazing summaries xDD
Disclaimer: Me no own Kingdom Hearts.
She slowly grabbed a handful of his coat and suddenly yanked hard, bringing him forward in his seat.
Leaning in dangerously close, she stared at him for a few moments with one of her trademark smirks as if she had something nasty planned for him.
She released him with a sigh, roughly pushing him back.
"You're no fun. There's nothing fun about you, or this.
I'm bored. Where's Axel when you need him?"
Saïx blinked, straightening up to look the Nymph in the eye with a questioning gaze.
She was being even more cryptic than ever, with her split second 'mood' changes and sudden decisions to forget the last five seconds of their conversations, going on a brand new tangent.
In many cases, it was like talking to the wall—one-sided.
"I look at you, and I see nothing, Saïx." Larxene sighed.
"I'd think those comments should be reserved for the Superior, don't you?"
"I look at you, and there's just nothing." She continued, ignoring him.
"All you ever do is work and sleep and boss everyone else around. There's just…nothing there!"
"Yes, we've established that you see nothing."
She looked visibly frustrated, and it intrigued him ever so slightly, the way she could act as if she'd never lost her heart in the first place.
Why put in so much effort into a façade? Especially since she never put that much effort into her missions or training exercises.
Was she just channelling her energy into the wrong things like an idiot? What motives drove her to be such an inefficient creature—if any?
Maybe she was just another mindless moron, despite the way she acted so above the rest of the Organization, like ranking order started from decreasing value.
"Care to explain yourself, Twelve?"
"Not that I particularly 'care'." He added casually, returning his attention to the stack of reports.
Larxene huffed, deciding to frown at his ceiling as she collapsed onto his bed.
"Believe it or not, I don't know. As surprising as it is to me, I can't explain myself."
"You almost sound human again. You make even less sense than usual.
"…so what?" she challenged quietly, suddenly dropping her voice to a low murmur.
"Problem?" the blonde asked coldly.
"A simple observation." He replied, deciding to end the conversation there and then before they wasted any more time on dilly dallying. "Nothing more, Twelve."
"You're so boring." The Nymph said suddenly, interrupting his train of thought.
"Has anyone ever told you that?" she asked.
"You don't know what's normal or strange or even good or bad. You know noth—"
"I know plenty, Larxene." Saïx cut in coldly—he was tempted to let drop that he'd been keeping tabs on her and Marluxia's behaviours for quite some time, but control brought his senses back to him before he slipped.
For a second, Larxene's face lit up at his slight show of aggression, but died down with his anger as he returned to his work. She pouted as silence became the presuming sound once more.
Not being one to easily give up, Larxene slid into his lap, almost with bated breath as she traced a finger up his neck and jaw, directing his gaze up towards her face.
She watched his eyes search her as she bent down to meet his lips, only closing her eyes after making sure he did, taking his hands and slipping them around her body.
The blonde broke away, staring expectantly at the Diviner.
He pushed her off his lap gently and returned to his reports, leaving Larxene to glare daggers at him for daring to ignore her again.
"You probably don't even know whether that was right or wrong." She muttered before turning to disappear in a whirl of shadows and disappointment.
Saïx was dead. Just plain dead.
She kissed him, and there was nothing there to suggest that it was an actual person kissing her back, instead of some animated mannequin with unusually gentle lips and a warm breath.
There was nothing that told her that he knew it was supposed to be 'naughty' or against the rules in a way, acting human again and condoning such foolish behaviour in the Organization of such an uptight, emotionless man like Xemnas.
He accepted that it just happened, and moved on.
He did not enjoy the thrills of every little rebellious act like she did. He couldn't care less whether she left him alone or bothered him daily with her little games, so long as it didn't interfere with his work too much.
And it bothered her.
Saïx did not 'care', just as he said. And something about it bothered her, just a little, like a dulled kind of pressure on her chest that she wanted to lift.
She wasn't particularly angry or upset with it—but memories of feeling frustrated, rejected and unsatisfied rushed through her after the encounter with Saïx, and it bothered her to the ends of this sunless world of eternal night.
Its nocturnal dawn brought her no comfort or promise of a new day.
And she knew the rest of her existence would be like that—boring, unsatisfying, unilluminating and filled with heartless old men who were just dead.
In a way, she wanted him to fight back, or have at least some kind of reaction to her.
She might have even celebrated it if he showed the tiniest sign that he was bothered by her the way he bothered her—even better if he took fate into his own hands and actively sought to enjoy what she offered.
A chance to break out of the monotony in the walls of this white castle, blank and cold like its master.
She wished he would just break sometimes, maybe even attempt to act irritated with her for disturbing his concentration, or slam her against the wall for her tomfoolery and daring to drag him, Mr-stiff-and-second-in-command-who-wasn't-supposed-to-indulge-in-such-maudlin-idiocy, into her storm of mischief.
At least it would show that he did 'care', in some twisted way.
I'm starting to think my writing relates to wine and cheese and all those things you have to leave for a while to 'mature' and 'ferment' before it's fit for consumption.
What am I going on about?

This is an extremely nice hotel with very spacious rooms and a relaxing commons area. Even though the staff isn't exactly the friendliest out there to say the least, and housekeeping completely skipped cleaning my room on a day when they were understaffed, for the most part it have been a pleasure staying here and I would dare to say that it is an ideal location for business travellers.
However, the biggest complaint I have about the hotel is the internet service. It disconnected me on multiple occassions which was only resolved by contacting the Lodgenet technical support, and having to get escalated to their tier 2 support (after 30 minutes of trying to explain the tier 1 support staff that I already performed all of the client-side troubleshooting steps and that it's not a problem on my end), just to have their tier 2 support reboot their "server" / AP to resolve the problem. This occurred 2 days in a row, and on the 3rd day, I could only access about 50% of the sites that I attempted to access. EXTREMELY unreliable internet!

She did not say that it might not be safe for her son, with his Chicago manners and his only-child penchant for showing off, to be in Mississippi that summer. She did not say that he had to stay only where she could see him.
Forcing the powers-that-be to tell is the truth is an effective way to further blot the stain of the Burge era. That won't happen if Daley continues to play dodgeball. But, from what it appears at this point, that game is nearly over.
They say that no man knows the number of his days and that death comes like a thief in the night. However, for the black men and women in Chicago, death can seem less like a faraway event and more like a day-to-day certainty.
Serrano says that freedom became an option not long after he was granted a hearing in 2007 on the new evidence of his innocence -- affidavits by the jailhouse snitch and the widow recanting their testimony.
10 Dead, More Than 40 Wounded in Most Violent Weekend of 2013.That's not in some war-torn other hemisphere with history and mores so complicated I can't hope to untangle them. That's a couple of miles from my house.
The anticipation was palpable on Monday as Judge Maura Slattery Boyle ascended to the bench. Two prisoners had waited 20 years for this moment: a showdown with the Chicago cop they claimed had framed them, and the jailhouse snitch he had allegedly recruited for the job.
For two decades, Armando Serrano and Jose Montanez have professed their innocence. Surprisingly, their fight for freedom has been bolstered by their former accusers.
Twenty years ago, Vargas thought she knew who murdered her husband, Rodrigo, as he was leaving for work. That's because a detective told her he'd solved the crime.
A 20-year fight for freedom by two Northwest Side Chicago men will culminate tomorrow in a hearing on allegations they were railroaded.
People need a break from consistently viewing violence all over the news and when we have good news to report, we as leaders should step in and push the envelope by advocating for continued coverage of the significant reductions in Chicago homicides.
Eric Caine was wary of man's best friend, but he took a job as a dog-walker because he needed the money. Besides, work was hard to come by for a 45-year-old just released from prison after 25 years -- even though he hadn't committed the crime.
The debate over how to stop the bloodshed in Chicago headed south this week as Illinois lawmakers are taking up a bill that would put more people with guns behind bars -- for longer.
I don't live life by statistics, nor do I navigate through life over selling my identity as some brand. However, my identity as a black man from the South Side of Chicago is a part of who I am.
Want to save lives, prevent lawsuits and restore the integrity of the justice system? Remember Dennis Williams, who lost his 20s, 30s and eventually his life because those in power stubbornly refused to admit their fallibility.
Our changes must go beyond simple gun control; they must be thoughtful, comprehensive and persistent. Controlling the proliferation of guns is important, but supporting educational and community programs are our best bet to break the cycle of violence.

The present invention relates to a roof ridge vent for use in building construction to enhance the circulation of air in a space between the roof and an underlying ceiling structure, and more particularly, the present invention relates to a roll-form roof ridge vent which has a reinforced nail line area so that the vent and/or overlying shingles are not damaged when installed with nails applied with a standard pneumatic roofing nail gun.
It is useful, and in many locales a building code requirement, that the attic area of a building be provided with a means to permit air exchange. Such ventilation prevents undue heat buildup, which can render the living quarters of the building uncomfortable and impose unreasonable energy requirements for cooling. Proper ventilation of the attic area also tends to preserve the structural integrity of the roof and roof coverings. One method of venting the roof structure consists of applying a venting media over a slot present along the ridge of a roof. These types of vents are known as ridge vents.
An example of a roof ridge vent is provided by U.S. Pat. No. 5,960,595 issued to McCorsley et al. and co-owned by the assignee of the present application. The '595 patent discloses a roof ridge vent comprising a continuous, indeterminate-length, roll-form, openwork web, or mat, of randomly convoluted polymeric filaments. The mat is capable of being rolled lengthwise in a spiral roll after or during manufacture and unrolled lengthwise during installation on the roof ridge. A plurality of cusps, or hollow spacer elements, project from the upper face of the mat so that, when the apex portions of the cusps confront the roof surface, the upper face of the mat is spaced from the roof surface thereby creating a path for air flow between the shingles overlying the upper face of the vent and the underlying roof. A continuous air permeable fabric backing is thermally bonded to the cusps of the mat to prevent weather and insect infiltration into the attic space.
Other rollable ventilation products are known. U.S. Pat. No. 5,673,521 which issued to Coulton et al. and which is owned by the assignee of the present application discloses a roof ridge vent comprising a continuous, indeterminate-length, single sheet, roll-formed web of thermoformable material. U.S. Pat. No. 4,942,699, which issued to Spinelli and which is owned by the assignee of the present application, and the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 5 of U.S. Pat. No. 5,425,672, which issued to Rotter, disclose indeterminate-length, roll-form ventilation products made of matting material which are installed overlying roof ridges and which support a row of overlying cap shingles.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,651,734 issued to Morris discloses a roll-form roof ridge ventilator made of a longitudinal blank of scored corrugated plastic sheet material. The vent is installed by unrolling the sheet material on a roof, folding the vent upon itself at scored lines, and securing the folded sections of the vent to the roof ridge. The embodiment illustrated in FIG. 12 of U.S. Pat. No. 3,660,955 issued to Simon discloses an indeterminate-length, roll-form web of plastic sheet material which has a plurality of spacer elements and which is unrolled and installed between rows of overlapping shingles to provide air passageways therebetween.
Roll-form roof ridge vents provide many advantages relative to non-roll-form, sectional roof ridge vent products. Roll-form vents are less costly to manufacture, facilitate efficient storage and transportation, and involve less labor costs to install. The roll form vents are installed as a continuous vent structure along the entire length of the roof ridge; while, sectional vents may require four or more separate sections to be installed in an end-to-end overlapping relation. Examples of sectional roof ridge vents are provided by U.S. Pat. Nos.: U.S. Pat. No. 1,717,728 issued to Moore; U.S. Pat. No. 2,200,031 issued to Lee; U.S. Pat. No. 2,214,183 issued to Seymour; U.S. Pat. No. 2,704,500 issued to Bonforte; U.S. Pat. No. 2,868,104 issued to Honholt et al.; U.S. Pat. No. 2,799,214 issued to Roose; U.S. Pat. No. 3,185,070 issued to Smith; U.S. Pat. No. 3,236,170 issued to Meyer et al.; U.S. Pat. No. 3,311,047 issued to Smith et al.; U.S. Pat. No. 3,481,263 issued to Belden; U.S. Pat. No. 3,949,657 issued to Sells; U.S. Pat. No. 4,280,399 issued to Cunning; U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,325,290, 4,554,862 and 5,122,095 issued to Wolfert; U.S. Pat. No. 4,876,950 issued to Rudeen; U.S. Pat. No. 4,903,445 issued to Mankowski; U.S. Pat. No. 4,957,037 issued to Tubbesing et al.; U.S. Pat. No. 4,962,692 issued to Shuert; U.S. Pat. No. 5,094,041 issued to Kasner et al.; U.S. Pat. No. 5,167,579 issued to Rotter; U.S. Pat. No. 5,174,076 issued to Schiedegger et al.; and U.S. Pat. No. 5,288,269 issued to Hansen.
In some situations, known roll-form roof ridge vents, specifically those made of an openwork mat, cannot be installed properly with the use of standard pneumatic nail guns used by roofers. The force of a nail fired by a standard roofing nail gun can cause the mat to compress adjacent the nail location. This reduces ventilation air flow and provides an uneven upper vent surface causing a displeasing aesthetic effect. In addition, if a nail used to secure an overlying cap shingle is driven into a hollow portion of a cusp of the mat, the nail head can be driven entirely through the upper face of the mat. In the latter situation, a piece of the overlying cap shingle can break off and be driven with the nail head deep into the vent creating a path for weather and insect infiltration.
Therefore, while the roll-form and sectional roof ridge vents disclosed in the above referenced patents may function satisfactorily under certain circumstances, there is a need for an improved roof ridge vent which provides all the above stated advantages of a roll-form vent while being capable of being properly and readily installed with the use of a standard pneumatic nail gun. The nail line and adjacent area of the vent should be reinforced to prevent unwanted compression of the vent and prevent the head of a nail from being driven past the upper face of the vent. In addition, the vent should be capable of being manufactured efficiently and formed into a roll for shipping, transportation and subsequent installation.
With the foregoing in mind, a primary object of the present invention is to provide an efficient and economical roof vent which is capable of being readily and properly installed in a manner requiring labor skills possessed by the average roof installer.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a roof ridge vent which permits use of standard pneumatic roofing nail guns to properly secure the vent and overlying shingles to the roof.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a roof ridge vent which has a low height profile and which provides an accepted amount of air venting capacity.
A still further object of the present invention is to provide a roof ridge vent which is made as a continuous, indeterminate-length mat/web which can be stored, transported and supplied to installers in roll-form.
A still further object of the present invention is to provide a roll-form roof ridge vent which is efficiently manufactured and which is efficiently bonded to strips of air permeable filter material and nail line reinforcement material.
More specifically, the present invention provides a roof ridge vent for installation overlying an open roof ridge to provide ventilation to a space beneath a roof. The vent is constructed as a continuous, indeterminate-length, roll-form mat, or web, which is rolled lengthwise into a spiral roll during and/or after manufacture and unrolled lengthwise in a substantially straight direction during installation on the roof ridge. Thus, when installed, the mat forms a continuous, one-piece roof ridge vent along the entire roof ridge.
The mat includes an upper face and a plurality of spaced apart cusps, or spacer elements, projecting downwardly from the upper face. The upper face is substantially planar in an unrolled and uninstalled condition, and each of the cusps have a base portion coplanar with the upper face and an apex portion a spaced distance therefrom. Thus, when the vent is installed, the apex portion of the cusps confront the roof and space the upper face of the mat from the roof to provide a path of ventilation through the mat from an opening in the roof ridge to the outside environment.
A strip of nail line reinforcement material is bonded to at least a portion of the upper face of the mat adjacent the nail lines identified on the vent. The reinforced nail line area permits the vent and overlying shingles to be installed on the roof with standard roofing nail guns without causing unwanted mat compression and without permitting nail heads from becoming over-driven into the vent.
According to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the mat is an openwork mat made from randomly convoluted polymeric filaments as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,960,595. The nail line reinforcement material can be a fabric material, an elastomeric material or other material. In one contemplated embodiment, the same type of material utilized as the nail line reinforcement material can also be utilized on the roof confronting side of the vent for weather and insect infiltration prevention purposes.
The foregoing and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention should become apparent from the following description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an unrolled roof ridge vent embodying the present invention; and
FIG. 2 is an elevational cross sectional view of the roof ridge vent of FIG. 1 installed on a roof ridge.
Referring now to the drawings, FIG. 2 illustrates a roof 10 having a typical construction which utilizes a roof ridge vent 30. The roof 10 is constructed from a plurality of rafters 12 supported at their lower ends by front and rear walls (not shown) of the building. A roof deck 14 is typically constructed of plywood, or other suitable panels, to provide an outer sheathing of the building. The roof deck 14 is secured to the rafters 12 and extends to the end walls.
Shingles 16 are secured to the roof deck 14, typically with nails, to finish sloping portions of the roof 10 in accordance with conventional construction practices. Conventional cap shingles 18 are installed in overlapping fashion to cover the roof ridge, or peak, 20. A slot 22 is provided along the length of the roof ridge 20 of the exemplified roof 10 to provide a passageway for venting air between the underlying attic area and the ambient atmosphere.
In accordance with the present invention, as will be filly discussed, a vent 30 is interposed between the cap shingles 18 and the underlying portions of the roof 10. The vent 30 is a roll-form type product which is rolled lengthwise into a spiral roll during manufacture and which is stored, transported and supplied to installers in roll-form. As with other known roll-form ventilation products, the vent 30 is unrolled lengthwise on the roof 10; positioned overlying the roof ridge 20; and secured to the roof 10 with nails 24, or the like, along nail lines identified on the vent 30. Thus, the vent 30 provides a continuous, one-piece ventilation product which extends in a substantially straight direction and which is relatively simple to install.
The preferred embodiment of vent 30 of the present application, which is illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, has some similarities with the previously referenced roll-form vent disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,960,595, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. For instance, the vent 30 is preferably formed as an indeterminate-length, single-sheet, openwork mat, or web, 32 of randomly convoluted polymeric filaments. The mat 32 has a longitudinal medial hinge, or centerline, 34 dividing the mat 32 into a pair of identical longitudinally-extending lateral flaps, or side portions, 36 and 38, which, during installation, are capable of being disposed at a dihedral angle relative to one another. Thus, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the installed mat 32 conforms to the surface of the roof ridge and has an inverted V-shaped transverse cross-section.
After being unrolled and before being installed, the mat 32 has a substantially planar upper surface 40 and a substantially planar roof confronting surface 42. See FIG. 1. A plurality of cusps, or hollow spacer elements, 44 are disposed in a plurality of longitudinal rows extending throughout the lateral flaps 36 and 38. Each cusp 44 projects downwardly from the upper face 40 and has a base portion 46 coplanar with the upper face 40 and an apex portion 48 a spaced distance therefrom. The apex portions 48 form the roof confronting surface 42 of the mat 32.
When the vent 30 is installed, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the upper face 40 of the mat 32 confronts the overlying cap shingles 18, and the apex portions 48 of the cusps 44 engage the underlying roof 10. The cusps 44 space the face 40 of the mat 32 from the roof 10 to provide ventilation passageways therebetween. The layout, or pattern, of the cusps 44 is particularly designed to resist compression of the vent 30 during and after installation and to afford ready rolling and unrolling during manufacture and installation.
A strip of air permeable filter material 50 is secured to the roof confronting surface 42 of the mat 32. The filter 50 permits air to flow outwardly in the manner illustrated by the arrows in FIG. 2, while preventing insects, rain, snow, blowing foreign objects, and the like from entering in the opposite direction. Preferably, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, a continuous length of filter material 50 is thermally or adhesively bonded to the apex portions 48 of the cusps 44 and extends to the edge flanges 52, 54 of the lateral flaps 36, 38. Since the edge flanges 52, 54 are substantially co-planar with the upper surface 40 of the mat 32, weather and insects are blocked from entering into the vent adjacent the vent opening 56 formed between the roof 10 and the cap shingles 18. The filter material 50 also extends over and covers the slot 22 so that insects or like foreign objects cannot enter the vent 30 through the slot 22 which is in communication with the attic space of the building. Preferably, the filter material 50 is a sheet-like fabric, such as, non-woven nylon polyester. Alternatively, the filter media 50 could be formed of needle-punched non-woven material, metal mesh screens, or like structures which provide air permeability through small spaces in their structure.
One of the novel aspects of the present invention is that the upper surface 40 of the mat 32 is reinforced adjacent the nail lines 58, 60 identified on the vent 30. A single nail line 58, 60 extends in a longitudinal direction on each lateral flap 36, 38 and is located spaced distances from the centerline hinge 34 and edge flanges 52, 54. As illustrated, one or more rows of cusps 44 extend between each nail line 58, 60 and the centerline hinge 34 and each nail line 58, 60 and the edge flanges 52, 54.
Preferably, the mat 32 is reinforced with one or more strips of nail line reinforcement material 62 bonded to the upper surface 40 of the mat 32 over the suggested nail lines 58, 60 and surrounding area including at least the rows of cusps 44 which are adjacent to the nail lines 58, 60. The reinforced mat 32 resists compression because the force applied to the vent 30 by the nail 24 is transferred by the reinforcement material 62 across a large area of the mat 32 and is thereby efficiently absorbed by the mat 32. This is true whether or not a roofing nail gun is utilized to apply the nail. In addition, when the cap shingles 18 are nailed to the roof 10 and vent 30, the reinforcement material 62 prevents nail heads of nails driven into hollow cusp areas of the mat from passing beyond the upper surface 40 of the mat 32. Thus, this permits the use of pneumatic roofing nail guns to drive the nails into the cap shingles 18, vent 30 and roof 10.
As illustrated in FIG. 1, the nail line 58, 60 on each lateral flap 36, 38 is covered by a separate strip of reinforcement material 62 which extends over the nail line 58, 60 and the adjacent row of cusps 44 on either side of the nail line 58, 60. Alternatively, each of the reinforcement strips could cover a greater portion of the upper surface of the mat, or one strip could be utilized to cover substantially the entire upper surface of the mat. However, in the preferred embodiment, the centerline hinge 34 remains exposed so that the reinforcement strips 62 do not limit the flexibility of the hinge 34.
The nail line reinforcement material 62 can be a sheet-like fabric material, such as non-woven nylon polyester, or an elastomeric material. In addition, other reinforcement materials could also be selected and utilized. For instance, the same type of material utilized as the filter material 50 can be utilized as the nail line reinforcement material 62. Thus, one contemplated alternative is to utilize a single sheet of material which covers the entire roof confronting surface 42 of the mat 32, which is folded over the edge flanges 52, 54, and which is bonded to the upper surface 40 of the mat 32 so that it covers both nail lines 58, 60. Another alternative is to utilize two separate strips of material each of which is folded over one of the edge flanges and is bonded to appropriate adjacent portions of the roof confronting surface and upper surface of the mat. In any of these alternatives, portions of one, or both, of the fabric materials can be provided with a visually perceptible indicator (not shown) that readily identifies the roof confronting side 42 of the vent 30 from the upper side 40 of the vent 30. To this end, the fabrics, or portions thereof could be dyed different colors, could contain stripes, or could simply be marked with appropriate wording.
A moisture impermeable elastomeric material can be utilized as the nail line reinforcement material to provide a barrier to water infiltration. To this end, the entire upper surface of the mat can be covered with an elastomeric material to reinforce the nail line and to prevent water infiltration in the event that a cap shingle, or several cap shingles, become dislodged by bad weather and wind conditions. The exposed elastomeric material is capable of preventing rain or the like from passing through the vent and entering the opening in the roof ridge. In addition, the elastic property of such a material permits the material to extend across the centerline hinge without restricting the ability of the hinge to flex so that the vent can properly conform to the pitch of the roof ridge.
Another important aspect of the vent 30 according to the present invention is that it is provided with a sufficiently low profile, or height, so that commercially available standard-size pneumatic roofing nail guns can be utilized to nail the vent 30 to the roof 10. Standard nail guns are limited to use with nails no greater than about 1.75 inches, and the nails must extend a sufficient distance into the roof decking 14 for the nails to meet roofing installation requirements. Thus, if the vent has too great a thickness, or height, nail guns cannot be used because the nails do not embed far enough into the roof decking. The vent 30 of the present invention is provided with a height "h" of about ⅝ of an inch. Tests have shown that standard nail guns can be utilized to properly install a vent having the above referenced height. A vent having the stated height can provide approximately twelve square inches of net free ventilation area per linear foot of product which is within industry ventilation standards.
By way of example, and not by way of limitation, the vent 30 is made of an openwork mat of randomly convoluted polymeric filaments. The vent 30 has a width of about 10.5 inches and a thickness of about ⅝ of an inch. Four longitudinally extending rows of cusps 44 are located on each lateral flap 36, 38, and one row of cusps 44 extends between the nail line 58, 60 and edge flange 52, 54 on each lateral flap 36, 38. Approximately ninety six cusps in total are provided on each linear foot of the vent. The filter material 50 extends continuously on the roof confronting surface 42 of the mat 32 and spans the entire distance between the edge flanges 52, 54. The vent has two strips of nail line reinforcement material 62 each of which has a width of approximately three inches and covers the nail line 58, 60 and two rows of cusps, one on either side of the nail line 58, 60.
The above-described roof ridge vent according to the present invention provides a roll-form vent which is easy to install, inexpensive to manufacture, and enables use of standard pneumatic roofing nail guns.
While a preferred ridge roof vent has been described in detail, various modifications, alterations, and changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the vent according to the present invention as defined in the appended claims.

E! to Celebrate TWILIGHT: BREAKING DAWN PART 2 With November Specials
What better way to gear up for the highly anticipated, final installment of the Twilight films, TWILIGHT: BREAKING DAWN PART 2, than with a look back at the stars and the stories that made the series famous! E! News is shedding some sunlight on the true relationship between Kristen Stewart (aka Bella Swan) and Robert Pattinson (aka Edward Cullen) with a 5-part series airing nightly on E! News at 7:00pm ET/PT the week of November 5th. Additionally, on Monday, November 5th Kellan Lutz is live in studio and E! News will have complete coverage of the fandamoneum from the previous weekend's Twilight convention.
On November 12th E! will air the half-hour Twilight special that encapsulates the full journey of love, loss and redemption with Rob & Kristen: Immortal Love. Then, during the week of November 12th E! News will spotlight the celebrity fashions of the Twilight cast – tracking the style changes of our favorite Twilight actors and actresses, including Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Ashley Greene and Nikki Reed.
As the movie premiere approaches, E! gives blood-thirsty Twi-hards what they want with a recap of the couple's tumultuous love affair. Can Rob and Kristen's love stand the test of time or will Bella and Edward's immortal love affair remain only on the silver screen? On November 5th, E! News delves deep into the pair's pre-fang lives, covering who they were dating during the first filming and their obvious chemistry on screen. Day two continues the journey by taking viewers back through the rumor mill when the couple attempted to keep their relationship a secret, and kept the paparazzi and fans everywhere guessing: are they or aren't they? But, when the photos leaked of Rob and Kristen holding hands in the airport, they could hide no longer and their fans went into a frenzy in reaction to the off-screen duo. In a movie-style twist, day three exposes Kristen's cheating scandal with Snow White and The Huntsman director, Rupert Sanders. Photos were snapped, celebrities' offered their support, and of course, fans mourned. Day four captures the aftermath of the scandal, from the fans emotional reaction and Rob moving out, to Kristen admitting she loves Rob and her very public attempts to win him back, culminating with Rob's resurfacing through various television appearances. True to the fairytale ending, the once distraught couple has reunited, and Friday will bring fans all the scoop about where their relationship stands currently.
Each day during the week of November 12th, E! News will feature a different Twilight celebrity and take viewers through their style transformation. See how these baby faced teens evolved into famous heartthrobs throughout the series of films and developed a look all their own!
Sink your teeth into the Twilight coverage on E! News starting this Monday, November 5th through the film's premiere on Friday, November 16th, and catch up on all the romance and rebellion when the E! special, Rob & Kristen: Immortal Love premieres on Monday, November 12th at 8:30pm ET/PT.
