Carpets: Coziness, Comfort, and Functionality
Carpets are soft, comfortable, and warm. They make floors safer because provide a surface that prevents slipping and softens falls, which is important if you raise babies or toddlers.
Furthermore, carpets serve as insulation, which increases heat in the space and reduces heating costs.
Insulating properties of carpets help create a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere because they reduce the noise from walking.
It's always better to keep quiet at home when it comes to floor coverings.
Moreover, contrary to popular opinion, in comparison to other floorings, carpets keep the space cleaner. Dusting of the air is less in areas with carpets as they practically capture dust and it can be easily hovered up.
Carpets can be easily replaced with new ones or other flooring. Covering with a carpet does not necessarily require a perfectly flat floor, which saves money on putties. In comparison to other floor coverings and furniture, new carpets contain low levels of volatile organic substances, which are commonly found in paints and lacquers, for example.
When choosing a carpet, keep to the concept that it is not important what is fashionable, but what reflects your personality. Before incorporating any object in your space, you need to feel that it belongs there.
Carpets have many advantages over other floorings. Modern ones add color, liveliness, and vibrancy to simple, monochromatic décor solutions. In addition, carpets create a comfortable place to sit.
If you need to choose a carpet for a kids' bedroom, an ordinary carpet definitely will not work. Children need fresh colors and suitable patterns; make your choice according to the taste and character of the child.
If you decide to use a carpet of a non-standard shape, both oval and round ones are options. If you want to position the carpet in the center of a room, then choose a centre-pattern one.
Choosing a suitable carpet for your interior can be fun especially if you forget about the trite traditional motifs and look for something unusual and contemporary.
Here are some original ideas how to incorporate carpets in your interior:
These carpets are impressive; furthermore, colors are combined with a sense of aesthetics and style.

Jurors at the trial of former State Correctional Institution Pittsburgh corrections officer Harry F. Nicoletti Jr. left the Allegheny County Courthouse today without rendering a verdict and are set to resume deliberations Monday.
Mr. Nicoletti faces 80 criminal counts ranging from official oppression to involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, based largely on the testimony of 20 former SCI Pittsburgh inmates.
He testified that he was innocent and did not know why the inmates, many of whom were imprisoned for sex crimes, were targeting him.
Judge David R. Cashman charged the jury this morning. The trial included 11 days of testimony.mobilehome - neigh_city - breaking - region

Rand at 8.14 against the US dollarComment on this story
The rand remained softer at noon on Friday but off the session's worst level after China's disappointing trade balance data re-ignited market concerns about the strength of the world's second biggest economy.
At 11.47am local time the rand was bid at R8.1408 to the dollar from Thursday's close of R8.0793. It was bid at R9.9813 to the euro from its previous close of R9.9415 and at R12.6981 against sterling from R12.6290 before.
The euro was bid at US$1.2270 from $1.2303.
China's trade surplus in July came in narrower than expected at US$25.1bn from $31.7bn in June' falling short of a median $35.2bn forecast by economists in a Dow Jones Newswires survey. Exports rose 1.0% in July from a year earlier' worse than June's 11.3% rise and below economists' median forecast of a 8.0% expansion. Imports rose 4.7% from a year earlier' down from the 6.3% rise in June.
"The (China's) trade data has put pressure on risky assets. Commodity-based currencies such as the rand will struggle to strengthen given signs of anaemic economic growth in that country'" said Mike Keenan' sub-Saharan currency strategist at Absa Capital. - I-Net Bridge

Authorities said the Super Bowl and other big sporting events provide potentially lucrative opportunities for sex traffickers.

High school students, teens as young as 13 and other children reported missing by their families were among 16 juveniles rescued from forced prostitution during Super Bowl festivities in and around New Jersey, the FBI said Tuesday.
Authorities arrested more than 45 pimps and their helpers, some of whom said they traveled to the New York region to traffic the women and juveniles at the NFL championship at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
The teens, ages 13 to 17, were found in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. More than 50 women coerced into sex for money were also ...

Earth based Trek show

Re: Earth based Trek show
My general point was more that Star Trek is now something bigger than its name, it's a universe with infinite ways stories can be told in it, and not just travel among the stars. It's perfectly legit to say that a Star Trek series based on Earth is something you personally wouldn't be interested in, but its silly to say that its not Star Trek or wouldn't be worthy of Star Trek if it was based on Earth. I personally would be very interested to watch Star Trek: Office of the President, as a political and cultural exploration of how something so massively diverse as the Federation operates.

I've been posting near-real time mortgage rate updates on Twitter since 2007. I do it because mortgage rate information is "protected" and rate shoppers need every edge they can get.

The Enquirer first reported March 30 that Gunner Kiel had visited UC for its scrimmage that day at Paul Brown Stadium, as Kiel mulled his transfer options.
Former Notre Dame quarterback Gunner Kiel soon will enroll at the University of Cincinnati, giving UC perhaps its biggest recruiting coup in 125-plus years of football.
Kiel, America's No. 1-rated quarterback by Rivals.com and Scout.com while in high school at Columbus East (Ind.), told ESPN on Wednesday that he had chosen UC. A UC source confirmed to The Enquirer that Kiel, who recently decided to leave Notre Dame, plans to enroll for the UC summer semester beginning May 6.
"He called us and said he's coming," the source said. "He wants to get it started as soon as possible." ...

The Lansing Lugnuts scored five runs in the seventh inning Wednesday to build a lead they wouldn't relinquish in an 8-6 win over Cedar Rapids.
Shortstop Ryan Goins and catcher A.J. Jimenez each led the Lugnuts with three hits. Jimenez and Bradley Glenn had two RBI.
Glenn drove in two on a double in the five-run seventh inning, capping off a bottom half that saw six Lansing hits, including three doubles off of Cedar Rapids starter Ariel Pena and reliever Jon Bachanov.
Lansing reliever Nester Molina ran into some trouble trying to put the Kernels away in the ninth. Cedar Rapids got four consecutive singles before Steve Turnbull came on to earn his 13th save.
Ryan Shopshire got the win for Lansing. Shopshire (3-4) allowed only two runs on seven hits in six innings.
The Lugnuts and Kernels finish their three-game series at 7:05 p.m. today.
MCELROY PROMOTED: Brad McElroy, who had reached base in 25 straight games for Lansing, was promoted to high Class A Dunedin on Wednesday. Kevin Nolan was activated from the DL to replace McElroy on the Lugnuts' roster.

|Case report: absent C6 cervical pedicle in a collegiate football player.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 19680734 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Congenital absence of a cervical pedicle is a rare clinical finding with only 70 reported cases in the literature from 1946 until present. The congenitally absent pedicle has clinical importance owing to the frequency of misdiagnosis and inappropriate invasive treatments. We present the case of a 21-year-old college football player who experienced neck and shoulder pain after violent twisting of his neck by the face mask. The player walked off the field under his own power. He was sent to the locker room, where he underwent right shoulder and cervical spine radiographs. Initial review of the radiographs raised concern for a jumped right C6 facet. The patient then underwent CT and MRI of the cervical spine, confirming the diagnosis of an absent cervical pedicle. He was treated nonoperatively for a short time and completed the season. He had no symptoms at last followup at 8 months. The most frequent location of the absent cervical pedicle is at the C6 level, and the next most common is at the C5 level. Neural compression or instability is uncommon and nonsurgical treatment is the mainstay of treatment. Misdiagnosis can lead to inappropriate treatment such as halo or tong application with traction, which occurred in seven of 57 cases in one series, and exploratory surgery, which occurred in four of 57 cases.

Fall 2013
Volume 42, Issue 2
Baseball's First Bill Veeck
What with Bill Veeck Jr.'s gregarious nature, numerous achievements, and well-known career as "a champion of the little guy" (to quote from his Hall of Fame plaque), it is not surprising that writers have penned quite a few profiles of the flamboyant baseball executive. On the other hand, regrettably little ink has been spilled in coverage of his father, the lesser-known Veeck Sr., an "unsung hero in MLB history."
More Whimpers Than Bangs: How Batters Perform When "It's the World Series and they're down to their final out"
We all know that baseball games lack an arbitrary end. No clock means that the participants determine not only when the game will end but also when it will not end. There are thousands of instances when the offense fails and the game ends, maybe dramatically and maybe not, with a strikeout, a fly ball, a line drive, or a mesmerizing fielder's choice at second. But what about those times when the game doesn't end, when the guy in the on-deck circle yells "Save me a lick," and the batter does just that, when the announcer says, "They're down to their final out," and yet the game goes on? What about those at-bats that might end the entire World Series, but don't?
The Veracity of Veeck
In his excellent biography of Bill Veeck, author Paul Dickson tackles the controversy over whether National League president Ford Frick and/or Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis blocked Veeck's attempt to buy the Phillies in 1942 and field a team of players from the Negro Leagues. Authors Macht and Warrington are still skeptical—not that Veeck didn't consider or even inquire into buying the Phillies, and not that he didn't think and talk about and desire to integrate baseball—but that Ford Frick or Judge Landis was responsible for stopping him.
The Hearst Sandlot Classic: More than a Doorway to the Big Leagues
Set against the backdrop of a country emerging from war, and entering into a period of prosperity, the Hearst Sandlot Classic for 20 years offered a showcase for young baseball talent. Many of those who participated signed professional contracts and others were able to obtain scholarships to further their education. Everyone who participated gained memories to last a lifetime.
Fate and the Federal League: Were the Federals Incompetent, Outmaneuvered, or Just Unlucky?
For years, the convention has been to view the Federal League, the last challenger to actually take the field against Organized Baseball, as having been doomed from the start, ultimately suffering an "inevitable collapse." Upon closer examination, however, the events of the Federal League war demonstrate once again that certainty is most expertly determined in hindsight. For while the distance of a century cloaks the demise of the Federal League with an air of dreary predictability, its struggle against the baseball establishment was, like so many other "wars," determined to a significant extent by chance and circumstance.
Clutch Hitting in the Major Leagues: A Psychological Perspective
Sabermetricians have been arguing about the reality of clutch hitting for quite some time now. Existing research has, for all intents and purposes, been based on the assumption that major league ballplayers vary significantly in the psychological characteristics associated with clutch hitting. What might those characteristics be? And is it reasonable to expect major leaguers to represent different levels of those characteristics? If not, what are the implications for the search to find convincing and replicable evidence for clutch hitting?
Is a Major League Hitter Hot or Cold?
Many major league baseball games are decided in the final innings or outs of a game. For that reason, it would be beneficial for team managers to know which player on their team has the highest probability of getting on base or getting the game-winning hit. The probability, however, will differ depending on whether the player is hot or cold. The goal of this study is to use hidden Markov models to determine when players are hot or cold and to determine how their batting averages differ between these two states.
When Did Frank Baker Become "Home Run" Baker?
The story of how Frank Baker, the Philadelphia Athletics star third baseman, earned the nickname of "Home Run" is well known to even casual fans of baseball. As his Hall of Fame plaque states, he "won two World Series games from [the] Giants in 1911 with home-runs thus getting name 'Home Run' Baker." Although this story of how Baker's famous nickname came about has become a well accepted piece of baseball lore, it isn't quite accurate. In fact, Baker was tagged with his famous sobriquet even before he had hit his first regular season major league home run and at least as early as spring training of his rookie year with the Athletics.
Preferences Between Baseball and Fastpitch Softball Amongst Female Baseball Players
Baseball is a male-dominated sport. Softball is often considered to be the "female counterpart" to baseball. Despite limited playing opportunities, girls and women are playing baseball. The purpose of the present study was to explore the preferences of female baseball players regarding the differences between baseball and fastpitch softball.
The Way the Game Is Supposed to Be Played: George Kell, Ted Williams, and the battle for the 1949 batting title
Entering the last game of the 1949 baseball season, George Kell was locked in a close race with Ted Williams for the American League batting title. It was one of the closest batting races in baseball history — decided by two ten-thousandths of a point.
The Mystery of Jack Smith's Runs
One would guess that several factors influence a player's ability to score runs, including speed, his position in the lineup, the batting ability of other players in his lineup, and his own power. Players who combine these factors could be expected to score a high percentage of the times that they reach base. However, the list of players ranking highest in runs scored per time on base is peppered with players one would never expect.
Debs Garms, the Bioproject, and I
The SABR BioProject is not only a boon to readers, but to the researchers who create the articles. The research has fulfilled curiosity and generated enjoyment for countless SABR members seeking to learn more about the lives of childhood heroes or members of a favorite team. Here's one example.
The 20/30 Game Winner: An Endangered/Extinct Species
The first part of this article is a statistical analysis on the history of 20-game winners and possible factors contributing to their decline. The second part is a qualitative analysis comparing two historic pitching seasons — Denny McLain's 31 wins in 1968 and Justin Verlander's 24 wins in 2011 — in an attempt to better understand pitching success from two different baseball periods.
Game Score vs. Starter Score
The deficiencies in Bill James' pitching stat Game Score wouldn't be such a big deal if it had remained a fun stat, as the creator intended to be, but in recent years it has been elevated in status to that of the authoritative method for measuring a starter's performance.
The Team with the Most On-Base Percentage Titles
Tthere is one team in baseball which has a disproportionate number of on-base percentage champions to its credit: the Boston Red Sox. Ted Williams' success alone (12 OBP titles) gives the Red Sox a head start, but he's not the only Boston player to lead the league.
Additional Corrections in the Official Records (1920–44) of Runs Scored for Detroit Tigers Players
In a previous article, the author provided the corrections of the run-scored errors he discovered in the official records for Detroit Tigers players during the 1920–44 seasons. In his subsequent R/RBI research, he has followed a more rigorous research procedure — first ascertaining the complete details for each and every run scored in a game during a season and then comparing these R/RBI results with the R/RBI stats in baseball's official day-by-day records.
The Future of Baseball Contracts: A Look at the Growing Trend in Long-Term Contracts
Baseball contracts seem to be headed increasingly in the same direction; teams are trying to lock up their younger (particularly homegrown) stars to long-term deals before they hit the free agent market, which would drive up the price for a player. These contracts carry "boom or bust" potential for both the player and the franchise. In the player's case, he is guaranteeing himself a great deal of money, but at the same time, he is putting a ceiling on his earnings. He is potentially giving up an even greater sum if he were to hit the open market of free agency.
Prospects, Promotions and Playoff Races: Do They Bring Fans to Minor League Games?
Minor league baseball has undergone a resurgence, exemplified by record-setting attendance and a growing number of new ballparks. Much research has focused on factors that drive attendance. Chief among those factors is promotions, with numerous studies showing that giveaways and sponsored off-the-field activities at games can increase gate receipts. The quality of the team and the draw of the game itself may play a lesser role, at least at the minor league level.

Hey guys. I'm in the process of digitizing my Blu-ray and DVD collection, and I'm concerned that I may not be saving the correct audio streams. Right now I'm only running a 2.1 speaker setup on my stereo, and I'm also limited by the fact that my Xonar Essence STX can only digitally output Dolby Digital Live, Dolby Pro Logic II, and stereo PCM.
Considering my output limitations, does anyone have any suggestions about which audio streams I should be saving? I'm hesitant to downmix the acutual encoding, because I might add more speakers in the future. I'm using [removed] software which appears to have on-the-fly downmixing abilities.
So with that said, should I just save the best audio stream and then downmix via software? What sort of output method should I select with this card for the highest quality audio? Should I maybe look for a different card?

I'd imagine you can encode more than one audio stream from the same source file. I've used Handbrake for encoding some unencrypted TV recordings with multiple audio tracks (main sound plus audio description) and believe it's possible to select stream one or two as the source and add additional streams to be encoded with different encoders / mixdown settings / bitrates / DRC into the same file. Perhaps a short test encode would help clarify, especially if you demux the audio streams you encode.

|Elevation of pyrimidine enzyme activities in the RBC of patients with congenital hypoplastic anaemia and their parents.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 38827 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The activities of orotate phosphoribosyl transferase (OPRT) and orotidine monophosphate decarboxylase (ODC) were significantly elevated (P less than 0.001) in erythrocytes (RBC) from five patients with prednisone-responsive congenital hypoplastic anaemia (CHA). (OPRT: patients - 10.1--64.2 nmol/h/10(9) RBC; controls - 2.8 +/- 0.3 (mean +/- SEM, n = 37); ODC: patients = 30--124 nmol/h/10(9) RBC; controls = 10.2 +/- 0.7 (mean SEM, n = 37).) Two patients had a less pronounced, but significant, increase of aspartate transcarbamylase activity and three patients had marginal increases of dihydroorotase activity. Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase activity was not detected in any CHA patient or control. In one patient prior to prednisone therapy, the OPRT and ODT activities were elevated 10-fold and remained elevated 3-fold after 16 months of therapy. An elevated enzyme pattern similar to that of RBC from CHA patients was observed in three parents of three CHA patients, but not in three parents of two other CHA patients. The activities of all five pyrimidine enzymes were normal for one patient with transient erythroblastopenia of childhood. In contrast, the activities of all the pyrimidine biosynthetic enzymes were elevated in blood from patients with a young RBC population: sickle cell anaemia, sickle-beta-thalassaemia, hereditary spherocytosis, and DiGuglielmo syndrome and from the newborn. It is postulated that factors which affect the activities of pyrimidine enzymes in CHA may also result in diminished erythropoiesis.

With the Golden Globes just on and People's Choice awards. Got me thinking if I truly had seen a very good movie this year. I saw 3
1. The Help, this is excellent because it's based on a very good book and they stuck to it. Excellent screen play. There are some funny moments but I don't consider this a comedy.
2. Bridesmaids, Sometimes we really forget to laugh and this movie is non stop women's humor.
3. Water for Elephants, we all need romance this is one, a bittersweet movie. I liked it a lot and I know everyone kind of makes fun of Robert Pattinson and the vamp stuff. But there is a very good actor hiding under those fangs. I saw him in another movie, Remember me which was very good.
Absolutely no contest - Hanna.
I'm waiting for this to come on cable. It looked good.
I've seen I think four of the movies being tossed around as Oscar contenders, and I would rank them in this order: The Artist, Midnight in Paris, The Descendants, and Young Adult. The first three were all excellent; the last one, interesting (and great performances all around), but a distant fourth. The Artist I could even see again.
Jane Eyre
Without question - "The Help".
I don't think this qualifies for this years' trophies (Oscar, Golden Globe - whatever) but another movie I saw that was out of this world was "The Girl With the Dragon Tatoo". The rest that I saw were mediocre at best.
Have not seen "The Bridesmaids" but I have heard it is really good too - more than just a chick flick. I like chick flicks in most cases but I don't get to see many 'cause DH doesn't like them.
It is -30C here today (-40 or so with the windchill). It is expected to be this cold for a good week. So I think we will watch the "The Bridesmaids" on PPV this weekend - assuming the remote hasn't frozen.
------Canadian Jane, now Jjane, much shorter and easier to use.
------My grandmother taught me to sew when I was 10, and I've been sewing ever since.
The Help
War Horse
------Bernina 780, and 530
Viking Opal 690Q
Babylock Evolution
Singer 403a
When life gives you green velvet curtains, make a green velvet dress.
Not a huge movie watcher but did see the Danish version of "The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo", excellent.
------Lynny - Geelong, Australia
I liked Hugo very much - although DH & I splurged for 3-D ($36 for two tickets! yowza) and regretted it. It didn't add much to the experience. The story is charming, and suitable for the whole family.
Probably not up for any awards, but surprisingly good - Rise of the Planet of the Apes. I think one review called it intelligent summer entertainment, and that sums it up. Andy Serkis as the motion captured chimp Caesar was actually better than James Franco.
------Suo ergo maledicto
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. - Steve Jobs

Connellsville students participating in WVU pumpkin drop
Proving that gravity does indeed work, students from all over southwestern Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia will be trying out their creations in Friday's annual "Pumpkin Drop," sponsored yearly by the Engineering Department of West Virginia University.
Teams from Connellsville Area High School and Connellsville Junior High will make the trip to West Virginia, taking with them the creations they designed and built around pumpkins. Their intent is to drop their inventions from the 11-story engineering building, and hope that they land unbroken in the target area.
Connellsville gifted teacher Justin Guest will be taking five teams to the competition. Each of his five classes make up one team.
"Each team has anywhere from eight to 12 students," Guest said. "They work on it together to see what they can come up with that they feel is the best way to keep the pumpkin intact."
Students can use materials that are eco-friendly and are not permitted to use items such as liquids, glass, wood, PVC piping or Styrofoam packing peanuts.
Guest has been taking his students to the event for many years. For the first time, the project has a theme.
"One of the students suggested farm animals and I thought that it was a good idea," Guest said. "It adds a little more fun and creativity to the project. We have a ram, a duck, a pig, a cow and a horse."
"If they land unbroken, then they will then measure them to see who is closest to the target," Guest said.
Guest said while the students include him in the design options they create, he is not involved with the making of the pumpkin containers.
"We talk about their ideas and what they want to do, but then I let them go at it," Guest said.
"This is really a fun way to incorporate engineering into everyday life," said student Cody Nicholson, 16, of Normalville. Nicholson said his team worked on their ram named Dodge for more than three weeks. "We tried some different ideas and hopefully it (the pumpkin) will survive."
Student Hannah Surgent, 17, of Champion will be attending the pumpkin drop for the sixth time. Her team will be taking a duck that is covered in paper mache and feathers.
The teams paid a $10 entry fee. All proceeds are donated to the Ronald McDonald House.
"It's for a good cause and it's a lot of fun," Guest said. "Everyone is so happy just if their pumpkin survives."

2007 Ford E-150 Problems
The Check Engine Light may illuminate, the engine may run rough and have misfires on acceleration. Commonly the ignition coils and/or the ignition coil boots are the cause of this problem. The rubber boot that insulates the coil to the spark plug can dry and crack allowing arcing. Inspect the coils and boots, and replace them as needed. Our technicians also recommend replacing the coil boots any time the spark plugs are replaced.
Engine oil may leak externally from the cylinder head gasket. The gaskets were contaminated with metal debris from the factory – between the block and gasket and/or the head and gasket. To correct, the head gasket must be replaced and the mating surfaces on the cylinder head and block need to be inspected for chips or damage. In some cases the cylinder head will not be repairable and will need replacement.
The front end may make a rattle noise over bumps. There may be handling issues, and play in the front wheels on inspection. If there is up and down movement on the front wheels while the lower control arms are being supported, inspect the upper and lower ball joints for excessive play. These are prone to failure from moisture entry and lack of lubrication. The ball joints should be replaced as needed.

If that's the case bigbab then why did you bother buying shares at these prices, why not wait it out til it dropped to this 2.70-3.00 level that you are expecting or just ride the wave when it starts rising? Your comment doesn't make any sense, first you claim to be humbled from your past experiences yet you're investing in an out of favour stock that has experienced a significant decline over the past year, and the fact that you say you just bought it but are saying "worriedly" that the shares could easily drop another 30% from here makes me question whether or not you really do own shares (or whether your other name on this site is BankerBoy seeing as he/she was doing the same thing that you are doing and coincidently disappeared from this board, after being called out on it, when you started posting or even rustycat - but that could all just be paranoia on my part and I apologize if it is.

Jason Kidd starred for the Nets from 2001 through 2008. / Jack Gruber, USA TODAY Sports
NEW YORK (AP) - The Brooklyn Nets will retire the No. 5 jersey of Jason Kidd, who led the franchise to its greatest NBA success as a player and is now its coach.
The Nets said Monday the ceremony will take place Oct. 17 before their preseason game against the Miami Heat.
Kidd led the New Jersey Nets to the 2002 and 2003 NBA Finals and is their career leader in numerous statistical categories. He ended his 19-year playing career after spending last season with the New York Knicks, and the Nets hired him as their coach in June.
He will be the sixth Nets player to have his number retired, following Julius Erving, Drazen Petrovic, John Williamson, Bill Melchionni and Buck Williams.

Asphalt shingle cracks due to thermal splitting & defective product: this document tells readers how to identify & explain asphalt shingle cracking or thermal splitting, what causes shingle cracks or splits, and how to distinguish this product failure (which may be entitled to a warranty or class action claim) from other roofing product failures or defects.
Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2015 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved.
FIBERGLASS SHINGLE CRACKS - Thermal Splitting Asphalt Shingle Crack & Tear Failures Described & Explained
Fiberglass-based Asphalt Roof Shingle Cracking/Tearing/Splitting Failures
"Thermal splitting," or "cracking" which in fact is in most cases actually a tearing of the shingles is considered by experts to be the principal current problem with fiberglass-based shingles. We prefer the term tearing as a most accurate description of what's probably happening. Originally observed on the lightest-weight (15-year life) shingles this problem has now been found across all shingle styles, weights (life ratings), and we suspect, probably across most or all manufacturers of this type of product.
The thermal expansion of defective asphalt shingle product (common in the U.S. across many manufacturers in the early 1990's) followed by thermal contraction when cool weather approached, explained the tear shown in the shingle in our photograph just above.
See THERMAL EXPANSION of MATERIALS for a table of the coefficient of expansion of common building materials. We have not found a source defining the coefficient of thermal expansion of asphalt roof shingles - Contact Us if you can provide that information.
Does Thermal Splitting or Shingle Cracking Tearing Occur only in 3-Tab Asphalt Shingle Roofs?
No. Thermal splitting or tears occur in both conventional 3-tab shingles (photo above) and also in laminated asphalt shingle roofs.
Our photo (below-left) of thermal split/tear damage to a laminated asphalt shingle roof was provided by ASHI Home inspector Steve Mauer.
This unfortunate roof, inspected by Mr. Mauer in 2009, also suffered from granule loss (below-right) that in our OPINION looked like a defective product.
The same roof also included a damaged shingle that looked like a cracking and granule loss problem combined, but we think this was a shingle splice created at the factory during production - a bad individual shingle that is sometimes created when ends of shingle production substrate are spliced together. See SPLICE DEFECTS on ASPHALT SHINGLES
What Does Shingle Cracking or Shingle Splitting Look like?
Watch out: as we warn at ASPHALT SHINGLE FAILURE TYPES if conditions prevented the home inspector from direct access onto the roof or at least a look from a ladder set against the roof edge, shingle damage, cracks, and splits such as that shown in own photo (at left) could have been difficult or even impossible to spot. Inspecting the roof from the ground, even with good binoculars, can't show all roof damage types and conditions.
We have observed a variety of torn or split asphalt roof shingles, illustrated by our photographs below. (Click to enlarge any image.)
Horizontal Cracks & Splits in Asphalt Shingles
Both thermal splitting and other shingle cracks and splits can also occur in a horizontal pattern as we illustrate in our photographs below.
The horizontal cracking occurring in these fiberglass-based asphalt shingles resulted in complete loss of some of the shingles from the roof surface. The silicone caulk was placed by the owner during an attempt to "re-glue" the lost shingle tabs. But using our pen we pointed out additional horizontal cracks and tears developing in the next course of shingles just below. From a the ground the lost shingles looked like an isolated problem. An on-roof inspection told a different story.
Both horizontal and diagonal or vertical tearing may occur in the same roof as we illustrate in our photo at left (Click to enlarge).
What is the Cause of Thermal Splitting Cracks in Fiberglass-based Asphalt Roof Shingles?
Our photos above demonstrate two classic thermal split patterns in fiberglass based asphalt shingles: vertical splits running straight up the roof (above left) and diagnoal splits following butt joints (above right).
Normal Age & Wear Cracking in Organic Mat Asphalt Roof Shingles
Organic mat asphalt shingles also may show cracking and accompanying granule loss. Defective asphalt shingle products of either organic or fiberglass based shingles may experience several failures including cracking, tearing, granule loss, blistering, etc. So, splits or cracks can occur in both organic-mat based and fiberglass-mat based asphalt roof shingles.
But thermal splitting is particularly a problem with fiberglass mat based asphalt roof shingles.
Normal Asphalt Single Wear Cracking & Granule Loss
Our photos (left and below) show a badly worn organic mat asphalt roof shingle with multiple fine cracks throughout its surface. This shingle is worn-out, but the wear pattern is homogenous over the roof slope and in our opinion is a normal wear condition.
Hairline cracks appear in the (generally thicker) organic mat based asphalt roof shingles as a normal sign of aging, and normally late in the life of the roof shingles.
Our OPINION is that a variegated cracking in a somewhat random pattern over the exposed shingle surface is a common age and wear indicator found on older organic based (paper) substrate asphalt shingle roofs.
Nevertheless, fine cracks through roof shingles, regardless of cause, mean accelerating wear rate and on a roof like the one shown at left, the roof needs replacement.
But catastrophic early shingle splitting failures like the ones illustrated earlier in this article were principally a problem of lightweight, fiberglass-mat based asphalt roof shingles made during the period discussed above. Roughly, from 1992 - 1997.
Cracking due to cold weather installation & bending ridge or hip cap shingles: see RIDGE & HIP CAP SHINGLES for additional discussion of distinguishing cracking wear failures from other types of shingle failures.

Children's consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), such as soda, sports drinks and high-calorie fruit drinks, has soared. Because SSB consumption is associated with youth obesity and kids spend so much time in school, many states have passed laws to limit access to and consumption of these drinks during the school day.
This research compares the impact of different state policies (no policy; banning only soda; banning all SSBs) on in-school access to and overall consumption of SSBs, both in- and out-of-school. It relies on data collected in 5th grade, and again in 8th grade, from 6,898 public school students in 40 states, as part of a broader and longer longitudinal national study.
Key Findings:
Policies that ban all sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) in school do reduce consumption in school, but not overall, according to this study, suggesting efforts to improve nutrition must go beyond the school setting to be effective.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) - Morgantown police are investigating the death of a West Virginia University student who fell from a ledge.
The university identified the victim as 19-year-old Brian Weithenauer of Toms River, N.J.
The accident occurred around 1 a.m. Sunday. Media outlets report the victim fell from a wooden ledge outside an apartment building.
Police say foul play isn't suspected.
The university says grief counseling is being offered to members of Weithenauer's fraternity house, while transportation will be provided to and from his funeral service in New Jersey.

Ask 8-year-old Amanda Shoemaker to think up a story and put it on paper, and the Gettysburg home-schooler will likely oblige.
But that doesn't mean she'll like it.
Writing may not be Amanda's favorite subject - she prefers history - but she's still glad she wrote "Lucy and the Berries."
She was especially glad when she found out she had won first place in the third-grade category of WITF's Reading Rainbow Contest, for which kids were required to write and illustrate their own storybook.
"I had to do it for writer's club," Amanda said, adding that she'd much rather be reading a book than writing one.
Then again, the illustration part was fun, she said.
Amanda's fictional story is about a girl named Lucy who eats so many berries from her backyard that she gets a terrible bellyache and can't eat the dinner her mom cooked.
Lucy goes to bed, only to wake up and realize she had dreamt up the berry tale.
Amanda's mom Cheryl said she used the writing contest as a part of her daughter's curriculum and for a writer's club she's a member of.
Cheryl Shoemaker said she encouraged her daughter to make use of the five senses when describing the character's ordeal.
Rather than just say the wind was blowing, Amanda wrote about how Lucy would have experienced it.
"I like that word you used - 'whooshes,'" Cheryl said to Amanda at their Gettysburg home.
Amanda said she was so excited about winning the contest that she made her mom promise not to tell her dad, BJ, until he came home.
She wanted him to hear the message left on their answering machine for himself.
"I wouldn't let her tell him about it until he listened to the message," Amanda said.
Only 8 years old, Amanda said she has no idea what the future holds for her.
But despite her talent, chances are she will avoid a career as a novelist.
Amanda said she'd much rather spend her time reading as many books as possible, one reason she enjoys history so much.
"It's mostly reading," she said.

Cross Your Heart Breeding Harness
Place harness with crayon on ram/billy to verify when or if ewe/doe was attempted to be bred.
Marking Crayons sold separately. See accessories below.
Replacing Crayons on a Ram Harness
|Common Uses
Designed to fit and stay on smaller, more pointed briskets like those found on ram lambs, goat bucks and adult rams of smaller breeds.
Allows you to change the color of the crayons every few days, depending on the environment, to narrow down when/if an animal was cycling.
|How to Use
See PDF above.
Adjustments and/or tightening will likely be needed after the harness is put on.
You must be logged in to leave a review. Please log in.
The first one had the lower straps rip thru the leather early in the 3rd season. The second unit made it thru one breeding season but the swaged over side rivets let go within the first couple days when used a second time. I did purchase some small solid rivets and stainless washers and got it back together. I did end up with several ewes not marked but I knew they were bred when I changed colors and they remained unmarked. I'd suggest Premier look into stiching in a second layer of leather at the stress points and using solid rivets instead of the hollow cores since .
I have to recommend the use though mine failed eventually, a very useful tool if marking your ewes is important.
The nylon harnesses loosen and move, requiring us to check and tighten the straps daily - also causing a potentially dangerous situation, especially since our goats have horns. The Cross Your Heart Breeding Harness doesn't have this problem and is quite secure, even on yearling bucks.

In recent years the movement of women into state-level offices has slowed after several decades of gains, and the 2014 elections did not alter this pattern. Efforts to actively recruit women for elected and appointed positions will be critical in determining what the future holds for women in state government.
Chapter 8 of the 2015 Book of the States contains the following articles and tables:
The long awaited return to normal for the nation's population growth and migration flows after a long lull that began during the Great Recession has yet to surface. This can be gleaned from a spate of recently released demographic statistics. The continued slowdown has implications for population growth in most states, especially the rapid population gainers of the pre-recession period. The continuing freeze on previously free-flowing migration streams across broad regions of the country suggests a revival will not occur anytime soon.
The Midwest's least-populated state continues to grow at the fastest rate in the nation. Between 2012 and 2013 alone, North Dakota's population increased by more than 3 percent, new U.S. Census Bureau figures show. That is double the growth of nearly every other U.S. state. Over the past two years, Minnesota and South Dakota are the only other Midwestern states where population increased at a rate higher than the United States as a whole. Illinois, Michigan and Ohio continue to have among the slowest growth rates in the nation, and one consequence of that trend is the likely loss of congressional seats and Electoral College votes after the 2020 reapportionment.
According to the United Van Lines' 37th Annual Migration Study, which tracks the company's customers move to and from during the course of the year, Oregon is the top moving destination of 2013. North and South Carolina take up the next two spots on the list, followed by the District of Columbia and South Dakota. Michigan, which was at or near the top of the outbound list for 16 consecutive years, finally appeared in the "balanced" category for 2013.
Stateline Midwest ~ January 2013
Stateline Midwest ~ November 2012
When the 2012 session of the Kansas Legislature adjourned last May, lawmakers left one important piece of business unfinished. Their inability to come to closure on the politically charged issue of redistricting left Kansas alone among the 50 states without a new set of maps going into this year's congressional and legislative elections, and eventually forced a panel of federal district court judges to finish the job.
This year's stalemate may have been unprecedented in the Sunflower State, but Kansas' redistricting process is unique among Midwestern states in other ways as well. Like all other states, Kansas relies on U.S. Census Bureau data as a starting point in the decennial process of drawing new district lines.
But the Kansas Constitution requires that the population data provided by the federal government be adjusted before maps are drawn.
In recent years, the movement of women into state-level offices has slowed following several decades of gains. Following the 2010 elections, the number of women in both state legislative and statewide elective office declined. Efforts to actively recruit women for elective and appointive positions will be critical in determining what the future holds for women in state government.

Having moral standards, personal convictions and strong family traditions isn't wrong. But it is wrong to believe that these things are the cause of our acceptance before God. Scripture makes clear that we are accepted, forgiven and transformed solely because of Jesus Christ's sacrificial work on the cross. Everything else should be a consequence of the cross. But legalism sets in when our good works are an attempt to earn God's grace, instead of springing from a deep appreciation of God's grace.
I've noticed it's easy for we home-schooled folk to get in such a habit of seeing good things done a good way, that we eventually cling to our own doing more than Christ's having done. That's legalism. To be so focused on your own expressions of holiness that you start overlooking He who makes us holy. Sometimes it's good to stop and double-check what motivates your Christian walk.
Jesus Christ addresses this issue in a parable found in Luke 18. Check out the opening verse:
And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others…
Right off the bat, here are two ways to know if your main motivator is legalism:
First, you trust in yourself that you are righteous. When you compare yourself with yourself, guess what? You always come out winning. Perhaps you are sure of your status as 'righteous' because, well, check out all these things you're doing right! You dress right, you talk right, you look right and your family has perfected the formula of being totally right all the time. And this is where error seeps in: you start trusting all this 'righty stuff' is the reason God keeps loving you. Over time, the consequences of self-righteousness start piling up. For example, you quickly assume that everyone who isn't an exact copy of you, your family or your church is either a lost sinner or an immature Christian — if not an outright heretic! Another consequence is that your world implodes every time you mess up, because you can't fathom you were actually capable of sinning like regular 'ole sinners.
Here's a test, ask yourself this: If all the righteous elements of my life were suddenly stripped away — my looks, my traditions, my habits and routines I hold so dear — would I still be loved by God? If I were suddenly empty and naked of everything that gives me an appearance of being righteous, would I still be sure of my redemption in Christ?
Would such a scenario fill you with despair, or would it remind you that your hope lies solely on Jesus Christ? Paul's certainty sprung from Christ alone: "Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Secondly, perhaps you despise others. When folks don't add up to your list of expectations, is your knee-jerk reaction to despise them? Do you have a habit of pushing people away just because they aren't exact copies of yourself? It's a dangerous thing when our righteousness doesn't inspire us to love those who are loved by God, nor reach out to those who are blind to Him. Pharisees were so irate when they saw Jesus sitting at the table with sinners because they assumed He would only speak with non-sinners. Legalism can make us treat the Gospel the same way. "The Gospel's joyful truths are exclusive to me and my flock. No one else is welcome to share it unless they're part of our secret club."
Here's a test, ask yourself this: what kind of change do I require from those I hold at arm's length before I'd consider speaking to them, befriending them or loving them? A haircut change? A dress change? Or perhaps even a change of denomination? Now ask yourself this: which changes did God expect from me before sending His Son to save my soul? All through out Scripture we see God's love taking the initiative and reaching out to those who would never reach out to Him. And it is this exact love which, according to 1 John 2, is planted in the hearts of His children and becomes one of the greatest signs of true conversion.
A born-again disciple of Jesus Christ will stick out from the rest of the crowd because of these two things: his righteousness rests on Jesus Christ alone, and his love for others is undeniable. Are you striving to have this kind of testimony? Or are you content with your own self-righteousness?
I like to say that the term 'legalistic homeschooler' doesn't have to be redundant. Because after all, Jesus came to seek & to save us, too.
