Aquatics Feasibility Study
Aquatics Feasibility Study - full report (large file) or see individual sections below
In 2007, the City Council commissioned an aquatics feasibility study, after a group of area swimmers asked the city to consider building a multi-purpose aquatic complex that could accommodate a wide range of aquatic needs, including competitive swimming events.
After looking at the preliminary feasibility study in March 2009, the council asked staff to find potential partners, including other cities, to help fund the considerable construction and maintenance costs that would be involved.
The Bellevue Aquatic Center near Odle Middle School meets the needs of lap swimmers and children taking lessons. It also provides a warm water therapy pool, but the current facility does not meet length or depth requirements for more serious competitive swimming.
The study confirms great demand for new or expanded swimming facilities throughout the region. However, swimming pools are very expensive to build and maintain. According to the study, the more expensive the facility, the less fees cover the cost of maintenance.
The study was conducted to assist the council in identifying current needs and deciding if, or to what extent, it supports the development of an aquatic center.
The feasibility study:
Five kinds of swimming facilities were contemplated, from a locally-focused $19 million outdoor leisure pool to an $80 million national indoor natatorium with an Olympic-sized pool and a diving well.
As part of the study, the city conducted extensive public outreach. Staff met with nearby cities, school districts, Bellevue Community College and King County, as well as the Bellevue Chamber of Commerce and the Bellevue Downtown Association. There were focus group meetings with aquatics interest groups and a public interest survey of Bellevue residents.
Significant findings included:
The public interest survey indicated that nearly half of Bellevue households use swimming facilities and/or programs, with the most popular swimming types being recreational swimming, fitness/lap swimming and swim lessons.
The council reviewed each of the options and asked for more information about facilities that could accommodate local and regional competitions. The council directed staff to return at a later date to further define program needs, site considerations and potential city involvement in this major undertaking, and to seek alternative funding sources, including both capital and operating partners.
At the City Council's March 23, 2009 Study Session briefing, the Council asked staff to further define program needs, site considerations and alternative funding sources, including capital and operating partners for a regional aquatics center.
There was general support for a major aquatic facility to meet the recreational and competitive swimming needs, though there was concern about building and operating costs. The staff has met with SPLASH and several nearby cities and determined that there is a sufficient level of interest to continue evaluating the idea of a multi-city partnership to address regional aquatic needs.
Staff is monitoring the local aquatics community for changes and is keeping in contact with several nearby cities to continue evaluating the idea of a multi-city partnership to address regional aquatic needs.

text: Would like to expand my hives next year and have been spending some time thinking on the best way to go about it and what would be a realistic number I could possibly reach in one season.I am currently going into winter with 12 hives 5 of them are established hives in ten frame double deeps,1 is a ten frame single deep,3 of them are double stacked 5 frame deep nucs and 3 of them are in single 5 frame deep nucs. Now lets just say that all 12 make it through the winter (I know wishful thinking) and lets say we will have a spring like this year. I plan to rear my own queens using Larry Connor method, I feel that I should be able to turn those 12 hives into 24 with little problem but could I possibly turn them into 36?. I am looking to increase my numbers as much as possible and I am not concerned with a surplus honey crop this year just building numbers. Any thoughts would be helpful.

27 hurt in Grand Teton bus crash; 8 still recovering
MOOSE, Wyo. - Eight people are recovering in local hospitals after a commercial tour bus flipped onto its side in Grand Teton National Park on Thursday, injuring 27 people.
Park spokesperson Jackie Skaggs said the bus was traveling on North Highway 89 about four miles north of Colter Bay when its front tire left the road. The driver overcorrected, and the bus tipped onto its side and slid a short way down the highway.
The bus was traveling through Grand Teton National Park and bound for West Yellowstone, Montana, at the time of the crash. The road is the only highway connecting Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks.
The road was closed for about five hours while the crash was investigated and wreckage removed. It reopened around 9:15 p.m. Thursday.
In addition to the driver, there were 26 passengers on board. They were part of a Chinese tour group. All were evaluated at St. John's Medical Center in Jackson. Two patients were flown to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center, where they were reported in fair condition Friday morning. Six passengers stayed at St. John's overnight.
Although the bus did not completely roll over, the impact of the crash caused some level of injury to all 27 people in the bus, making this a mass casualty incident, the park said.
The Jackson business community helped find overnight lodging for the remaining passengers in Jackson on Thursday night.

Reviews for this host's other properties
The apartment was large enough. In the sleeping area can not stand it because it only about 140 cm high. The apartment you I know so far from Salvatore (3) are designed. The location is central, near tram station
The apartment was on the 3rd floor and the elevator was within 6 days 3 times broken.
The front door had no lock and people have urinated in the aisle.
The apartment was absolutely not professionally cleaned (I have to do with it). For me, does it look as if no one controls. The bathroom had mold which was not addressed and escalated.
ES is the zwite I at Salvat
Die Wohnung war genügend Gross. Im Schafbereich kann man nicht stehen, da er nur cirka 140 cm hoch. Die Wohnung dich ich bis jetzt von Salvatore kenne (3) sind so konstruiert. Die Lage ist zentral, nähe Tramstation
Die Wohnung war im 3 Stock und der Lift war innerhalb 6 Tagen 3 mal kaputt.
Die Eingangstür war ohne Schloss und Leute haben in den Gang uriniert.
Die Wohnung wurde absolut nicht professionell gereinigt (Ich habe damit zu tun). Für mich sieht das aus, als ob das niemand kontrolliert. Im Badezimmer hatte es Schimmel der nicht behandelt wurde und sich ausweitete.
ES ist das zwite das ich bei Salvat
Very nice, clean apartment. Small but everything is there that you need. Very centrally located.
Sehr schöne, saubere Wohnung. Klein aber es ist alles da was man braucht. Sehr zentral gelegen.
Excellent reception and service, highly recommended!
Excellent accueil et service, vivement recommandé !
Lovely apartment. Everything worked fine. Wonderful morning sun. Hzge terrasse. Well located. We will go there again for sure
It's a very nice, clean, modern decorated and centrally located apartment In an approximate 10 minutes walking distance from the sea. It also feels really safe to stay there as there is a video recording of all people coming in and out at the main entrance to the apartment's block. Salvatore is a great host, very friendly and welcoming. I really enjoyed my stay there
Salvatore was not available, but the exact contact information replacement dealer. Stephane immediately responded jelentkezésünkig. The accommodation We arrived several hours before the specified time, however - after we called Stephane.t front of the apartment - he came in 40 minutes and allowed into the apartment. Even the packages have some help, gave a brief guided tour, what to see in Nice. The apartment is clean, modern, spacious been equipped with everything you might need during a vacation. A beautiful terrace with views of the nearby mountains and the beach is 10 minutes walk from the house. Even the parking we were able to solve, actually in front of the house. During the day you have to pay parking fees, which were not many, and not taken too seriously. The mall is within walking distance of the old town and close to the nearby bakery, élelmiszerboltok.A safe area. The next time you go to Nice, secure this apartment is selected again.
Salvatore nem ért rá, de pontos elérhetőséget adott helyettesítőjéhez. Stephane azonnal válaszolt jelentkezésünkre. A szálláshoz a megadott idő előtt órákkal értünk oda, ennek ellenére - miután felhívtuk Stephane.t az apartman elől - ő 40 perc múlva odajött és beengedett a lakásba. Még a csomagokat is segített felvinni, adott egy rövid idegenvezetést, mit érdemes megnézni Nizzában. Az apartman tiszta, modern, tágas volt, felszerelve mindennel, amire szükséged lehet egy nyaraláskor. A terasz gyönyörű, kilátással a közeli hegyekre, s a strand valóban 10 perc sétára van a háztól. Még a parkolást is meg tudtuk oldani, tulajdonképpen a ház előtt. Napközben kellett parkolódíjat fizetni, ami nem volt sok, és nem vették túl szigorúan. A sétálóutca és az óváros még gyalog is közel, a közelben pékség, élelmiszerboltok.A környék biztonságos. Ha legközelebb Nizzába megyünk, biztos megint ezt az apartmant választjuk.
Lovely we'll equipped studio in a quiet,well looked after appartment block.Finding the appartment was easy.I took the bus from the airport and 10 mins later it stoppen outside the appartment.I was met by Salvatore's cousin who gave me helpfull tips for my days in Nice.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay,just 2 mins from the beach,and although walking to the centre takes About 20 mins,the buses run regually to the old town,centre and the train station.
The swimmingpool was great after sightseeing and shopping,although not as large as on the Photo ,it never seemed to be too Busy .
I especially appreciated the flexible departure time,and the fact that i had somewhere to Leave my luggage .i would recomended this studio for 2 people and Will definately return.
The apartment was centrally located (near the old town, and literally right on the beach), but in a backyard and in a peaceful location. It had everything you could want - for cooking as well as simple to stay - thanks to the large terrace (only downside - no view, but that's the price of peace in the center of the city). Another minor drawback - it does not have parking, and parking facilities in Nice are very expensive: for 5 nights we paid about 100 euros for additional parking. The hosts were friendly and helpful. Have even waited for us over 1 hour because we stuck in a traffic jam. I would recommend the apartment and pure conscience this host.
Die Wohnung war zentral gelegen (nahe der Altstadt, sowie praktisch direkt am Strand), aber in einem Hinterhof und dadurch herrlich ruhig. Es hatte alles was man wünschen kann - zum Kochen sowie einfach zum Verweilen - dank der grossen Terrasse (einziger Nachteil - keinen Ausblick, aber das ist der Preis der Ruhe im Zentrum der Stadt). Noch ein kleiner Minuspunkt - es hat keinen Parkplatz, und die Parkings in Nizza sind sehr teuer: für 5 Nächte haben wir über 100 Euro zusätzlich für Parking bezahlt.
Die Gastgeber waren freundlich und hilfsbereit. Haben sogar auf uns über 1 Stunde gewartet, weil wir im Stau steckten. Ich würde reines Gewissens die Wohnung und dieser Gastgeber weiterempfehlen.
The apartment has a very good location to both the sea and at the same time close enough to central areas of Nice. All kind of shops for food and accommodation doorstep. We had the late, great evenings on the spacious terrace and the apartment is completely free of annoying noises of the night / morning. A fresh and "new" apartment. A less that the owner agreed a price of mail in advance, but another when we were paying. Furthermore, we experienced a partially clogged drain in the shower as the owner would fix. This did not happen.
Leiligheten har en meget god beliggenhet, både til sjøen og samtidig nært nok til sentrale områder i Nice. Alle type butikker for mat og opphold rett utenfor døra. Vi hadde sene, fine kvelder på den romslige terrassen og leiligheten er helt fri for sjenerende støy på natta/morgenen.
En fresh og "ny" leilighet.
Et minus at eier avtalte en pris på mail i forkant, men en annen da vi skulle betale. Videre opplevde vi et delvis tett sluk i dusjen som eier skulle fikse. Dette skjedde ikke.
We tried for the first time Wimdu, and was initially positive to the apartment, which looked decent and nice in the pictures. We were even more positive when we arrived. The apartment in 5 Rue Francoise Aune, was in the 5th floor, and thus we came up from street level both in terms of noise and street lights. A lovely balcony with awnings all the way, it was good to have both morning and evening. The apartment was more than big enough for us, a family of four, although the living room then had to be used as bedroom two. The balcony was our living. Practical with access from every room to the balcony, quite apart from the bathroom. Our host, Salvatore, we hit not face to face, but we were greeted by an assistant, who was very nice. Salvatore responded promptly to our inquiries, and seemed very sympathetic and honest. If we were missing something, he was quick to sort out! The area round the apartment is quiet and friendly, with supermarket, boulangeries and other shops in the immediate vicinity. Perfect location for excursions either by train or bus, then the train station is in just 10 minutes walking distance and 7-8 minutes down to the Promenade des Anglais, where we could take the bus from. We only postive experiences, except that all the towels we were given smelled sour, and had taken a round in the washing machine before use. We will gladly back down :)
Vi prøvde for første gang Wimdu, og var i utgangspunktet positive til leiligheten, som så helt grei og fin ut på bildene. Vi ble enda mer positive når vi kom frem. Selve leiligheten i 5 Rue Francoise Aune, lå i 5 etasje, og dermed kom vi opp fra gatenivå både når det gjaldt støy og gatelys. En deilig balkong med markiser hele veien, var god å ha både om morgenen og kvelden. Leiligheten var mer enn stor nok for oss, en familie på fire, selv om stuen da måtte brukes som soverom to. Balkongen ble vårt oppholdsrom. Praktisk med utgang fra alle rom til balkongen, rent bortsett fra badet. Vår vert, Salvatore, traff vi ikke ansikt til ansikt, men vi ble møtt av en assistent, som var meget hyggelig. Salvatore svarte umiddelbart på alle våre henvendelser, og virket meget sympatisk og etterrettelig. Hvis vi manglet noe, var han kjapp med å ordne opp! Strøket rundt denne leiligheten er rolig og vennlig, med supermarked, boulangeries og andre butikker i umiddelbar nærhet. Perfekt beliggenhet for utflukter enten med tog eller buss, da togstasjonen befinner seg i kun 10 minutters gangavstand, og 7-8 minutter ned til Promenade des Anglais, der vi kunne ta buss fra. Vi har bare postive opplevelser, bortsett fra at alle håndklær vi fikk luktet surt, og måtte tas en runde i vaskemaskinen før bruk. Vi kommer gjerne ned igjen :)

text: I'm interested in participating in this swap and have a quick question. May I send a UFO that I started for my partner to finish? Or is it up to my swap partner and I to decide what we want to do? That could potentially be a fabulous way to finish some of these projects. Just a thought - - - -

So i want to strengthen my recently hived TBH and have the opportunity to take a few fames from another hive. Never done this before. Done some research in this forum but not finding exactly the answer i'm looking for (which i'm sure is easy).
So i have 10 bars set up all the way to the right (http://www.flickr.com/photos/ezrahug...7624181259474/) of the hive with room for 16 more.
Question is: Could i simply insert the new frames on the left side (follower board is already in place obviously) and open the left side entrance thereby allowing the new bees to become accustomed to their new home and pheramones? Or is the divider board too thick and will encourage the new bees to raise a new queen? would it be better to remove the follower/divider board and use newspaper?
Apologies if this has been discussed ad nauseum before but i didn't find the answer.
Thanks in advance!

How big was your target 4th? Look at how high that scope sits in relation to the bore. If you boresighted it you're probably shooting UNDER the target!
Bout the size of mongo, ,,,, DOWWWWWWW! NO RESPECT I TELL YA!!!!! We'd better stop busting on ya!!,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Naw, to damn fun!! !
4th - you know instead of a scope that you should of went with one of those eotech sights.

Looks like something I may try! Glad I added extra springs to my order before I sent it!
will post how it goes, good or bad!
Just measured it. Sits about 7 inches above the barrel.
Huh. Good thinking. Maybe I will cut that damn handle thing off.
Used one for a year and never carried it by the handle..
Crazy glue a picaninny raill on. Done..
Was wondering where those bullets were going..
You the man. Thanks kernel..
"Man needs but two things to survive alone in the woods. A blow up female doll and his trusty old AK-47" - Thomas Jefferson 1781
For a "Retro" "Just like the Spooks carried" build, ya gots ta have the handle. If you ever plan on putting optics on it, go for a flattop with rail. Much more practical. You can dial the scope in though, just grab the elevation knob and twist it about 9 full turns and you should be close to center again!
i was hoping the barrel was too short for 4th to sight in by "springing" the barrel in the fork of tree like we did with those JC higgins shotguns we got from joes pawn and gun! LOL!

Children's sports can start out as an enjoyable activity, but an overly competitive environment can quickly turn the fun into a chore.
Pointing to the increasing pressure and competition involved in children's athletics, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that parents do not push children to specialize in one sport, at least until they reach adolescence.
Overall, any physical activity is better than watching too much television. Organized sports contribute to physical fitness while developing basic motor skills. In addition, it can help your child with learn leadership skills, self confidence, and the importance of teamwork and sportsmanship. It will also teach them the importance of success and failure.
In making its recommendation, the AAP cited research showing that young children who participate in a variety of athletic activities and delay specializing in a particular sport until adolescence tend to:
In some cases, parents pressure their children into playing sports and having a "win at all costs" attitude. This type of pressure, though, takes away the many benefits of participating in an organized sport, like being part of a team, exercising, competing, and having fun.
There are steps that you can take, though, to highlight these benefits:
Instead of having your child specialize in one sport, encourage him to participate in various sports and/or athletic activities.
Organized, competitive sports for young children can also have its down side.Consider a series of questions to help determine whether your children's athletic activities are beneficial or harmful:
Here are other tips:
Make certain your child's coach and league are creating a safe and enjoyable atmosphere. Ask yourself the following questions:
If you discover that a coach or league is violating any of the above ground rules and safeguards, speak to the coach or supervising organization about the problem and, if possible, offer to help. If, after doing so, the problem is not solved, remove your child from the situation and find another team or league.
In addition to coaches, parents must practice good sportsmanship and acceptable behavior when watching their children participate in sports and athletic activities.

In facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), a small section of the DNA on chromosome 4 that's shorter than usual is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, meaning it only takes one such mutation (from one parent) to cause the disorder. This altered piece of DNA also can occur spontaneously in a child as he or she develops in the womb.
FSHD can affect either males or females. In a small number of people with FSHD, the usual chromosome 4 mutation can't be identified. In most affected people, it can be, with genetic testing. (For more on this, see Diagnosis.)
FSHD is one of many genetic disorders in which germ line mosaicism is believed to occur. Germ line refers to egg or sperm cells. In this phenomenon, some sperm or egg cells in a parent carry a particular mutation.
In families with more than one child with FSHD but no previous family history, it's likely that one parent has germ line mosaicism and that affected children were conceived with egg or sperm cells carrying the FSHD mutation. In these situations, the parents have no symptoms, and, if their blood cells are tested, they don't show the mutation.
For more about genetics of FSHD and other neuromuscular diseases, see Facts About Genetics and Neuromuscular Diseases.
For help in understanding your family's specific situation and planning for future children, it's best to meet with a genetic counselor. You can obtain a referral to a counselor through your MDA clinic. You can obtain the contact information via the Find MDA in Your Community ZIP code locator tool.

The exhibition
Sydney Long (1871-1955)
Sydney Long is Australia's foremost Art Nouveau style painter and a major Symbolist. In works such as The Spirit of the plains 1897, Pan 1898 and Fantasy c 1914, as well as in his many versions of Flamingoes, he created magical images.
Long's Art Nouveau paintings are like reveries, an escape from the everyday; they create a feeling of spiritual elevation, of another reality. And yet, seeking imagery which conveyed the 'lonely and primitive feelings of this country', he captured something of the soul and toneof the Australian bush.
Long was born in Goulburn in 1871 and moved to Sydney when he was aged sixteen. Art training in Sydney with Julian Ashton was followed by ten years working full time as an artist in Australia. From 1910 he was based in London for eleven years.
Long visited Australia during 1921-22, and returned again in 1925. This time he stayed until he returned to London in 1951, where he died in 1955.
When Long died he was a well-established Australian artist with over 20 oils in public collections. And he remains one of those artists whose key works are never off display.

Amos Oz
I'm glad someone in Israel is still willing to speak the truth about where the policies of the Netanyahu government is taking the country–down the road to apartheid.
Also, Oz's cat is super cute.

Shorter Elliott Abrams: "Oz's views are out of the mainstream. Plus, his frequent criticism of Netnayahu has a strong whiff of anti-Semitism to it."
What do you mean "down the road to apartheid"? I'm sure you could nit pick details but it's there already. There are reasons that the RSA National Party and the Israeli government were BFFs before apartheid ended.
And don't get me started about the Gaza Ghetto.
Which means there's at least one more person in Israel than US elected officials in Washington DC.
Erik, do you have any idea what you are really talking about? Under Netanyahu's government, Israel's president, Moshe Katsav, was put on trial for rape in a trial presided by an Arab-Israeli Judge and found guilty. Would an apartheid government do something like that? How many Black Judges were their in Apartheid South Africa and how many judged white officials for high crimes? There are currently 17 Arab in the Knesset. Arabs serve in the IDF, work in the Israeli bureaucracy, are judges, and hold elected positions on the local and national level. How true was this in South Africa?
Meanwhile, the President Assad of Syria has killed more of Syrians in the past few months than the entire Arab-Israeli conflict. Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood are intent turning Egypt in Pakistan on the Nile. Christians are leaving every Middle Eastern country accept Israel in droves.
The reason why Israelis vote for Likud is that they don't trust the Israeli Left. The Palestinian leadership as made it clear that the only result they view as just is "no Israel." Hamas is open in its calls for Israel's destruction. Fatah plays a double game, they seem open for negotiations but at the same time refuse to make any counter-offers or negotiate in good faith. Whne Barak and Omert made serious peace offers, including splitting Jerusalem, the Palestinian leadership responded by walking away. How can an Israeli government negotiate with people use view of a just result is the complete destruction of Israel?
Fatah/the Palestinian National Authority is a very marginal player now. The central Palestinian address is Gaza not, not the West Bank. The central Palestinian player is Hamas now.
All mainstream parties in Israel are for the indeterminate continued military occupation and settlement building that makes that occupation permanent.
The only thing that possibly change the political situation is if the US stopped giving blank check support to the Israeli leadership.
Okay, this is factually inaccurate on several levels. If all mainstream parties favored indefinite occupation than there would have been no Oslo, no offers under Barak and Olmert, and Sharon would not have unilaterally withdrawn from Gaza and Lebanon. Since Oslo, all the mainstream political parties in Israel have undertaken actions that show that they are no interested in indefinite occupation and what did they get in return, terrorism and war. What actions have the Palestinians and other Arabs taken that show that they are interested in peace with Israel?
Second, the settlements are not really an issue. The Israeli government has dismantled several settlements since Oslo. Many in the West Bank and all in Gaza. The settlements that have seen growth were the ones near that 1967 borders, that occupy about 4% of the WB, and that most people involved in the conflict see Israel as annexing in exchange for land on Israel's side of the 1967 borders. Finally, when Abbas demanded a settlement freeze as a precondition to negotiation; Netanyahu gave him a ten month settlement freeze and Abbas just set up more preconditions in exchange.
Do not the Palestinians have any agency? Isn't it even slightly that the reason why there is no Palestinian state because Palestinian leadership never negotiates in good faith and keeps asking for things that they know no Israeli government would agree to, like the return of millions of Palestinians to Israel's pre-1967 borders. Do you think that when poll after poll Palestinians and other Arabs say that the only acceptable result is "No Israel" that they might be at least slightly serious about it?
When people refer to Israel as an apartheid state they mean it is in violation of the 1973 UN convention outlawing the crime of apartheid not that it is an exact replica of South Africa. In some cases the Israelis have some token Arabs in official positions. Although there were plenty of Black collaborators in South Africa as well. On the other hand in many cases Israel is far worse than South Africa was. South Africa did not have Whites only roads like the "no Palestinians allowed" roads in the West Bank. The SADF also did not routinely attack the Bantustans the way Israel does Gaza. Finally, there were no walls around and through the Bantustans.
See also:
I conclude the last two links because pressure is always put on Israel to make concessions and offers in exchange for peace. But Israel does not get any peace in return because the Arab world has made it clear since 1948 that the only just result from their point of view is "No Israel". And more than no Israel, they want a Jew free Middle East. The amount of Jew-hatred routinely expressed in Arab and Muslim media is staggering. Article after article, book after book, cartoon after cartoon, lesson after lesson, and sermon after sermon. How much evidence is needed to prove that it just might be a remote possibility that the reason why there is no Palestinian state and that the Middle East is a constant state of despair because Muslims in general and Arabs in particular have decided to poison themselves with anti-Semitism and blame Israel and the Jews for everything that goes wrong rather than you no negotiate with Israel in good faith.
Oz wants Israel to return to the 1967 lines.
Yet it's tactilly impossible from a defensive perspective; it would be suicidal for Israel — especially now that the armies of allah are riding towards Damascus. Once Assad is gone, and once the Muslim Brotherhood, al-Qaeda and other salafi jahidis will have consolidated (under the supervision of Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the Obama régime), then the next target of the professional jihadis that went from Afghan to Bosnia, recently to Libya, and are now to Syria — will be… JERUSALEM.
They're saying it openly.
Israel can't afford to go back to the 1967 lines if she wants a chance to defend herself.
Entertaining. Israel's military needs are concrete; meteorology and biology are insubstantial and airy.
the armies of allah are riding towards Damascus.
As opposed to the army that's there now? Or are you flashing back to the Ummayad caliphate?
I was referring to the various war machines operating either autonomously or within the Free Syrian Army (such as Abu Issa's or Jamal Maaroouf's), to many other salafi jihadist organizations (such as the Freemen of Syria), al-Nusra (basically the most prominent al-Qaeda front in Syria): they all aim (at various speeds) to throw the forces of Assad out of Damascus.
I know that Assad was a friend of Hamas (which is hostile to Israel), and a strong, loyal ally of the islamic Republic of Iran and of Hizbollah in Lebanon; but he had no overt project to storm Jerusalem.
Al-nusra, many salafist warlords and even defected officers now working within the FSA openly claim that Jerusalem is next after Damascus.
They follow a line converging around the Temple of the Rock, not a statist line à la Assad.
Um, not so much. Israel is hardly the plucky little underdog of 1967. They're a nuclear power and practically a conventional superpower in their own right.
The "OMG! Israel is surrounded by enemies!" line is about 30 years past its shelf life.
I don't see Israel using nukes. Nor the armies of allah being deterred by the possibility of being nuked.
Oh I see. They can't be deterred by nukes but they can be deterred by not moving back to the 1967 borders.
Got it.
They won't be deterred; they will attack; at least, that's what they're saying.
Israel would hardly stand any chance of fighting 'em back within the borders prior to the six-day war.
I'm sure that old Soviet equipment will fare much better than it did in '91.
The Israelis don't have the technology to fight off T-55s and T-72s after all.
What about Egypt's arsenal? Egypt is ruled by the same political project as Hamas, remember: the project framed by al-Banna, the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood.
What about all the weapons being funneled from Libya to Syria via Turkey and now Jordan?
What about TURKEY?
What about all the money flowing from Qatar and private Saudis to Syria?
What about al-Nusra and al-Qaeda?
All of this will be converging towards Jerusalem after the Assad régime is done with.
We're not talking Fatah and PLO only now.
And a lot of the Assad arsenal will fall into the hands of those armies of allah, also.
Whether or not Israel is a plucky underdog, has nothing to do with Israel is surrounded by enemies or not. Arab media is saturated with Nazi-level Jew-hatred that makes no distinction between Israelis and Jews. Most of what amounts to leadership and opposition blatantly state that the only solution that they will accept is no Israel. The Islamists are especially blunt in their hatred of Jews. Yet, somehow its ignored and seen as being completely irrelevant to the lack of progress in the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Some peope say that Israel should execute the last chapter of Sharon's unilateral disengagement plan — with the Israeli government closing Israel's borders with Gaza forever and the reopening Rafah.
Make Gaza de facto part of Egypt, some say. Gaza is controlled by Hamas now, and Hamas belongs to the Muslim Brotherhood; Morsi and Hamas have shared interests in Sunni islamic rule.
Just reintegrate Gaza into Egypt, in exchange for a complete, total, radical cease-fire.
But then.. what if the Muslim Brotherhood wants to party like it's 1947?
You really don't have much of an understanding of Middle East politics, do you?
What makes you think Egypt even wants Gaza back?
And why would a Palestinian Hamas leader subordinate himself to Egyptian authorities?
There is a theme in rightwing thought that if they're brown they all march together, but especially in the backstabbing world that is Arab Middle East politics this is just racist makes no sense.
Egypt, Gaza: both are all under the despotic domination of the Muslim Brotherhood now.
Hamas is a MB front. The party of Morsi now holding power in Egypt is a MB front.
Also: Fatah/PLO are not powerful anymore in Gaza, not since Hamas won the election, and especially not since 2007, when Hamas ousted Fatah forces from Gaza in a coup, throwing their members off the roofs of buildings.
You guys know why Jerusalem is at the center of this unfolding war between the Zionists-and-the-Crusaders versus the armies of allah, right?
Not exactly, but I'm sensing one of the phrases "Book of Revelations", "contrails", "Zeta Reticuli", "Rothschild", or "Illuminati" in the near future.
Because of the place where is the Temple of the Rock now.
The Jewish people believe that Adam's body was buried there; that is was also at that spot that Mechizedek blessed Abram after the Patriarch (still a young man at that time) came back from the grand slaughtering of a bunch of human-sacrifricing people and their various kings; that it was there also that the Covenant took place, where the Jewish people were elected as proxy of mankind; that is was there that Solomon had the Temple built.
Now it's a muslim temple at that holy, Jewish place.
Did you learn that at Glenn Beck University?
Reading rabbinical literature, mostly.

High-waisted pants have been lurking on the fashion horizon for a few seasons — either you are thrilled for the break from low-rise jeans and the threat of muffin tops or you are terrified at letting your torso be swallowed by your waistband. Jessica Simpson is apparently up for the challenge, stepping out for a night of dinner and dancing in a pair of distinctly high-waisted chambray pants and a clingy ivory turtleneck. While we might have picked a pair of pants that didn't have pleated pockets on the hips, we tip our hats to Jessica for trying a different look and a hot new trend. But we want to know what you think! Tell us: Would you wear high-waisted pants like Jessica? Do you like the look on her?

Hello everyone,
Just introducing myself. I've had bees for a little over a year now. Started out with a TBH and a colony of Italian bees I bought out of CT.
Since then I've collected a swarm from the original hive so now I have two working hives both doing well. I'm still making this stuff up as I go
along but I've come to believe ( in my vast 1 year and 3 months experience ) that the bees know what they're doing and if you just let them do
it, it will all sort itself out in the end. Of course, it might just be that I've been lucky.
Well I can't promise that I'll have anything wise or valuable to add to this forum but I'm pretty certain that I won't bore you. I'm very pleased
to be a member here and I look forward to many interesting problems and solutions.
Talk to you all soon

Director, Division of Vocational-Technical Education
|Clarification questions and answers to assist in completing the Consolidated Annual Performance, Accountability, and Financial Status Reporting (CAR) instrument
On behalf of the Office of Vocational and Adult Education (OVAE), I thank those of you who offered suggestions during Phase II of the Consolidated Annual Performance, Accountability, and Financial Status Reporting (CAR) Pilot. We are writing to provide you with technical assistance in completing the CAR instrument for the State Basic Grant and Tech-Prep Grant programs under the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act of 1998, P.L. 105-332 (Perkins III).
We have prepared the attached list of clarification issues that were identified and addressed in the CAR Phase II Pilot for use during the 2001 reporting period. If there are additional issues that have not been addressed, please return comments to your State Liaison. States should also continue to contact their State Liaison throughout the data collection period and ask any questions concerning the CAR instrument.
As mentioned in the attached Section II: Specific Content Issues, we encourage states to use the web-based CAR to submit their data to our office. If a state chooses not to use this option, the state may submit the OMB approved Excel forms electronically to the address referenced in question six.
We have attached the OMB approved CAR instrument, which contains the background information on how and why the CAR was developed and a set of definitions for completing the forms. Because we are awaiting OMB approval, the Financial Status Report (FSR) form is stamped DRAFT. The web address for the CAR is not yet available, but we will share this information by mid-October.
I want to thank you for your continued support of Vocational Education. I look forward to continued collaboration on ways to improve the reporting form that will be used for years 3, 4 and 5 reporting periods.
Clarification Issues Pertaining to the Current CAR Instrument
Section I: General System Issues
Q1. Will all States be required to use the web-based reporting system and what is the deadline for reporting?
A1. No. States are not required to use the web-based reporting system. However, all States are strongly encouraged to use the web-based reporting system. This will facilitate report submission and assure a more accurate transfer of data. The deadline date for reporting is December 31, 2001.
Q2.Will extensions be granted for the year 2 reporting period?
A2.We do not anticipate the granting of extensions to the reporting requirement. One consequence for a State that misses the deadline submission will be an incomplete State Profile in the Report to Congress submitted by our office. Also, it will affect their eligibility for an incentive grant.
Q3.Will States be able to upload the data from an Excel form?
A3.We are currently working with the contractor to implement this functionality, and we expect to have this accessibility by the year 3 reporting period or sooner.
Section II: Specific Content Issues
Q1.What are the procedures for States wanting to report three major populations (Secondary, Postsecondary and Adult) categories?
A1.Those States wanting to report three major populations - secondary, postsecondary, and another category such as technical schools or adult education centers should report in the following manner:
- Secondary data must be reported in the section entitled "Secondary" on each Core and Sub Indicator form
- Postsecondary data must be reported in the section entitled "Postsecondary" on each Core and Sub Indicator form
- Adult (e.g. Tech Centers, Adult Evening School) data may be reported in the section entitled "Postsecondary" on the "Additional Measures" form. When such forms are used the States should include the word "Adult" in the heading
Q2.What are the procedures for States wanting to report additional measures other than populations?
A2.Those States wanting to report additional measures such as English and Math must report in the following manner:
- Additional measures data must be reported on the form entitled "Additional Measures." When such forms are used the State must include the name of the measure in the heading.
Q3.Is there a place to put "Unknown Gender?
A3.No. There are no provisions for reporting unknown gender in the CAR. We will attempt to address this issue in the year 3 reporting period.
Q4.Can a State count a student in more than one cluster on the Basic Grant and Tech Prep Student Enrollment forms?
A4.Yes. Clusters may be duplicated counts. However, the Totals are actual unduplicated counts.
Q5.How should States complete the forms when data is unavailable?
A5.In instances where the State attempted to collect data by the required categories, but was unable to collect the appropriate data, the response "NP" (Not Provided) should be indicated in the cell to show that the State attempted to obtain but was unable to collect the data--this includes ethnic data.
Q6. If a state chooses not to use the web-based data collection system to submit CAR data, how can it be submitted?
A6.States should submit their CAR's electronically to: email@example.com and cc: a copy to their state liaison.
Q7. Should a State submit a paper CAR?
A7.Yes. States should submit a paper CAR, including a signed coversheet, to:

We recently stayed at this Penthouse apartment with pool in the center of Athens. The stay could not have been nicer. We were there with 6 kids and 5 adults total and the place was beyond spacious and comfortable. The roof deck with pool was the best part of the space - such a great amenity - and the direct view of the Acropolis was not bad either! The Owner was extremely helpful, and George arranged for drivers for our trip. A plus!
Very nice apartment close to all services : bakery, restaurants, pubs, and the beaches of course. You can easily walk to Lake Vouliagmeni (less than 10 minutes walk). Well equipped apartment with a pretty patio as shown on profile pictures.
The apartment was at the center of Athen. It was beautiful and it had everything what we needed for this trip. The coordination with George was funtastic. I will recommand it for sure !!!! :)
I have been in the flat for 5 nights. The situation of the flat is okay. It's a little bit far to the centre but therefore it is really quite and there is an other centre/big streets with a lot of stores really near. Still, it doesn't take too long to get to the centre (Akropolis). Wheter you can take the bus/metro and it takes you 10-15min or you take a Taxi, which is also not expensive and only takes 10mins.
The elevator is helpful, the balcony is a nice place to sit and the room are also clean and well furnished. The wifi Router is directly next to the bed but still it is slow or sometimes not even usable.
All in all it was a great stay in Athens and I would totally recommend this flat.
Beautiful appartment, clean, confortable... In a very good location in Athens, i highly recommand!!! George was very accomodating and friendly. Thank you very much :-)
Excellent apartment and location. Everything was as it was seen on website! Thank you
We have been welcomed by a friend of George at the airport. He drove us to the appartment when it was already in the evening. The moment we came we were surprised by the service of all the things that were present in the appartment. The tools in the kitchen were very complete. Sugar, coffee,tea and the supplies were present and ready for using. A little garden at the backsite was complete and looked very charming. The only thing was that cats made it also to a place of there own, so you could smell as soon as you opened the door.
We enyoied it very much.
Thank you for the great hospitality.
After a week in this flat, 5 adults (parents and three grown up "kids"), we just have positive words to say about the flat and the host. We are pretty active travellers and we found the the flat well situated to be a good starting point for excursions in Athens and the neighbourhood. The flat is well equipped, very clean and the hosts responds quickly on any questions. If you need a large flat with more than two bedrooms, you don't need to hesitate about this alternative. But remember Athens is a big city, there's a lot of cars and a lot of noise, this flat is not quiet, but probably one of the better places to stay at.
everything was perfect.
I had a wonderful stay this summer (2014). The location was perfect! It was close to the beaches a supermarket and even the city center and clubs arent that far! Its a quite nice neighbourhoud with lots of bakeries in the area with delicious sweets, It is also close to the tram and metro lines are easily accesible which makes travelling easy. The house itself was very clean and cozy everything you need it is included! George is a very helpfull and nice caretaker! Whatever question or problem you have you can contact him and he we be assisting you at his best immediatly! I am recommending this amazing beachflat to everyone who wants to have a relaxing good time and close to the good places in Athens! You will feel right at home !

Know about the "buzzing" of the busy bees?
Maybe they don't always sound like bees, but our ladies and gentlemen in housekeeping, service, and the kitchen stay second to NOTHING when it comes to being busy.
Here everything is cleaned, scrubbed, washed, polished, and shampooed!
Even the smallest speck of dust is removed – all that's left behind are fragrant curtains, crinkly bed linen, shiny furniture, and brilliantly gleaming bathrooms!
In the kitchen, all of the cupboards have been cleared and made to shine piece by piece! Glasses, dishes, and cutlery were intensively polished, they are almost blinding! And our maintenance men tirelessly balanced on high ladders around just to change and wash the aisle curtains! In between all this, they roamed and ran all around with the extra-large toolbox from bathroom to bathroom, laid and cleaned each and every drain and ventilator, changed silicon joints, and cleaned all 64 chandeliers in the entire hotel.
Now do you know why our ladies and gentlemen slept especially deeply these last few weeks?
Wake up - with the music of your favorite composers!
With whom do you like waking up best in the morning: with Mozart, Vivaldi, or maybe with the Beatles, or even the youngest Grammy winner?
Simply take your favorite CDs with you!
In each guestroom, we've installed a brand-new radio - with alarm function - and a built-in CD-player!
Of course you can also have gentle sounds accompany you to sleep…
Then perhaps it would be with Schumann, or Gerschwin, or even with…?

On the trail of Vermeer's "Painter in his Studio"
In its first major exhibit of 2010, the Museum of Fine Arts is focusing on Johannes Vermeer's "Painter in his Studio" and embarking on a search for art historic clues.
The "Painter in his Studio" is the most famous and the largest painting by the Dutch Baroque painter Johannes Vermeer (baptized 1632, buried 1675). It is one of two allegory paintings that the painter did between 1666 and 1668. The special thing about this painting is that its served as a showpiece for potential buyers and it never left the studio during the painter's lifetime. It is still considered today to be Vermeer's artistic bequest .
The Museum of Fine Arts illuminates this in its exhibit "Vermeer's painting. On the trail of a masterpiece" using pieces that correspond to the ones in the painting, shedding a light on the iconography of the picture. Among other things, viewers can see Claes Jansz's original map of the 17 provinces that is depicted in the painting. The exhibit also examines Vermeer's work methods and the condition of the painting today. Finally, the Museum of Fine Arts is showing paintings, sculptures and film clippings of contemporary artists that have been inspired by Vermeer's "Painter in his Studio".

Andy Warhol's Car Show
The exhibition "Andy Warhol. Cars" at the Albertina presents works from the Daimler Art Collection by the artists Andy Warhol, Robert Longo, Sylvie Fleury and Vincent Szarek.
Pop art meets automobile: The highlight of the show is Andy Warhol 's (1928-1987) sequence of 35 silk screen prints called CARS. In 1986/1987 the most important representative of American pop art documented the history of the automobile based on eight selected Mercedes Benz models. For the first time in about 20 years, this commissioned series can be seen together.
Another part of the exhibition is dedicated to the Swiss performance and object artist Sylvie Fleury who conceived six video films in 2005 for the Mercedes Benz Center in Paris. The videos blend the mythos of the legendary Mercedes Benz automobile with current ideas in art and fashion.
Also on display: A sequence of five black and white automobile "Portraits" by the New York artist Robert Longo and an investigation of the history of the design of the automobile using Vincent Szarek's SLR as an example.

Rock the Ballet
Classical ballet and new dance styles: no contradiction for a young dance company from New York. Pure dance perfection that inspires, accompanied by music from classical to Queen and U2.
Rarely has there been an ensemble such as this, that covers the full spectrum of dance including jazz, hip-hop, classical, tap, musical, modern dance and show, and combines them in such a fascinating way. The dancers will also present spectacular acrobatic displays, for which total body control is an absolute must, on six evenings from 2 March in Hall E in the MuseumsQuartier.
"Rock the Ballet is the ballet of the 21 st century - and we call it ' Pop Ballet ' " , says Rasta Thomas, the director of the company which was created in 2007. Thomas, together with his partner Adrienne Canterna, has assembled a group of six dancers around him, the "Amazing Boys of Dance". Despite their young age, each has already collaborated in Broadway and Hollywood productions.
The musical selection is as diverse as the dancers: classical pieces can be heard, as can Jacques Brel chansons, Broadway melodies by Frank Sinatra and hits by Queen, U2 and Lenny Kravitz. An evening with "Rock the Ballet" contains emotions and sensuality, and tells stories from real life, conveyed through the body language of the six dancers.

"I've never been to New York"
On 17 March 2010, the hit musical with 20 songs by Udo Jürgens celebrates its premiere in Vienna's Raimund Theater.
Having been seen by over a million enthusiastic audience members in Hamburg, the musical is finally coming to Vienna:aa a must for fans of musicals and for fans of the great musician, composer and singer.
Udo Jürgen's popular songs such as "Aber bitte mit Sahne", "Mit 66 Jahren", "Vielen Dank für die Blumen" and "Ich war noch niemals in New York" get the top-class show swinging. The composer, musician and singer says about his work:
" For me, a dream has come true: my songs can be heard in a musical theatre. "
The original book is by hit author Gabriel Barylli ("Butterbrot"). The story tells of a fun-loving old woman who - neglected by her career-minded daughter - travels with her new love to New York to get married beneath the Statue of Liberty. On the cruise ship the "elopers" meet any number of relatives who want to hold them back. The turbulent story of mix-ups and self-awareness takes it course...

Eating in still life
The Bank Austria Kunstforum adopts a culinary flavour from February to May: the exhibition "Augenschmaus" ("Feast for the Eyes") shows the history and significance of eating in still life.
The show examines the question of the extent to which still life is an imitation of nature, something symbolic or a construct of reality. Around 100 works from five centuries can be seen. The oldest exhibits are the 16 th century kitchen and market scenes by Pieter Aertsen.
The exhibition ranges from there to the 20th century and shows pictures by Jean Siméon Chardin, Francisco de Goya, Paul Cézanne, Giuseppe Arcimboldo, Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol. Works by contemporary artists (including Maria Lassnig and Zoe Leonard) can also be admired. A special area is dedicated to the so-called "Eat Art".

1st round- Sheldon Richardson DT Missouri- He is a good rusher from the DT position. He usually wins 1 on 1 match ups. He is solid vs the run. Matched with Linval in the middle with JPP and Tuck/Osi? or someone else on the outside we would have a great front 4.
2nd round- Arthur Brown OLB/MLB Kansas St.- It might be some wishful thinking that he would be there at our pick in the 2nd round. He can become a MLB I think if he added a little weight. He is a tackling machine and he is fast for a LB as well. I think he could start instantly for us if we got him. If he is not there another LB I would like would be Khaseem Greene.
3rd round- Brian Winters OG/OT Kent St.- Versatile big man who has experience at guard and both tackle positions while in college. He is extremely durable. He has played through injuries before so it shows his toughness. Someone posted on here that the Giants have shown interest in this kid and I could see why because of his versatility and his toughness. He is quick enough to deal with quick rushers and he is strong enough to hold his own vs a bull rush. He is known to be a very good run blocker as well by latching onto the defender and driving him backward which creates nice running lanes.
4th round- Devin Taylor DE South Carolina- He is a tall guy with long arms and is good at swatting passes out of the air. He can rush the passer pretty well but his production fell of a bit because he was trying to just overpower OL instead of using technique or implement various pass rush moves. I think that if the kid used different moves he could be a starter for us. He has good straight line speed which he could use to speed rush around the end. He holds the edge well vs the run as well. He is been overlooked because the fact that he is playing alongside Clowney who is a straight animal. 4 year starter in the SEC so he has experience. He has great potential IMO.
5th round- Micah Hyde FS/CB Iowa- He is an experienced CB at Iowa and he is a good tackler for a CB and he has good ball skills. He has made some nice plays on the ball in college. He is being overlooked as well because of the fact that his defense was terrible at Iowa. I like him better than Shaun Prater who was drafted right around the same as this pick right here if I am thinking correct. He is being looked at as a FS by some teams because he does not possess top flight speed and he could make the transition pretty easily I think. He is another versatile player that I like.
6th round a- Ryan Otten TE San Jose St.- He is a good receiver who catches the ball cleanly. He ran pretty good for a TE nothing special though. He can run through arm tackles and will lower the shoulder to get extra yards. Needs to add a bit of weight though to be a good blocker in the NFL. He was a willing blocker at San Jose St. If he added some weight he could be a nice all around TE that our team likes to use.
6th round b- Denard Robinson WR/QB Michigan- He is an Randle-El type player the way I see it. He is versatile and very fast. He could be a weapon in the slot and in the return game as well. We could also use him in some end around passes like the Steelers did with Randle-El. I know Gilbride is not much of a trick play kind of guy but it is nice to have players on your team who can produce in a number of ways. That is why I would be happy if we brought Denard in.
7th round- Rex Burkhead RB Nebraska- I have used him before but I like the talent at this spot. He is a very productive guy and he can catch and block well too. He is a great character guy and a really hard worker. I have gone to quite a few of his games and the fans absolutely love the kid. He can make some big plays catching and running the ball. He is an all around back I think. He does not have great speed but he is tough and quick which allows him to get solid gains most of the time
Tell me what you guys think of the mock. I mixed it up from what I have been doing the last few times but I think I covered most of our needs and I think that these guys can come in and produce for us in different ways which is always nice to see out of young players.

Sure, building deck stairs can be tricky. But in this story, we'll make it easy by showing you how to estimate step dimensions, layout and cut stair stringers, and assemble the stair parts. And you won't have to do any hard math to figure it all out (but your calculations will have to be accurate!). These DIY steps will work for replacing an old set of stairs and for building stairs on a brand new deck. So grab your tools and let's start building!
Picture a stair slope in your mind to estimate about a 40-degree slope and guess at a landing point. Then measure the total rise to the landing spot with a straight 2x4 and a 4-ft. level.
Clamp the stair gauges to the carpenter's square. Use the narrow part of the square for clamping the riser gauge and the wider part for the 10-1/4 in. tread. Lay out the stairs by drawing on the outside of the square, sliding the square along until it meets the last mark.
Mark the top of the stringer to remove 3/4 in. of material to allow for the missing top riser. Mark the bottom of the stringer to remove the tread thickness.
Whether you're replacing an old, rickety set of deck stairs or building a set for your new deck, deck stairs are among the most challenging projects for the average do-it-yourselfer to tackle.
One little mistake in calculations or layout and you'll wind up wasting lots of expensive wood, or worse, you'll build a downright dangerous set of stairs. But building a strong, safe set of stairs is doable if you meticulously follow the layout and cutting rules outlined in this story.
You almost always have to design site-built stairs yourself because the number and height of the steps will vary with the landscape. Begin by drawing a side view of your site and adding dimensions (Fig. A). That usually means going through the calculations a few times to determine where the stairs will fall and to figure out how long your skirt and stringer material needs to be. This sounds complex, but if you work through it a few times and rely on your sketch, it'll become clear.Here's what to do
Measure from the deck rim to the landing spot and add 2 ft. Buy three treated 2x10s, two 2x12 skirts and two 2x4s sized to the next larger length and you'll have plenty of material to work with (the worst mistake is buying material that's too short!). Get a 6-ft. 2x6 for securing the stairs to the deck (Photo 8). You'll also need two 2x6s for each tread and a 1x8 for each riser. Use 3-in. deck screws to fasten the skirts and treads to the stringers and the skirts to the deck. Fasten the risers to the stringers with 8d galvanized nails.
For extra-strong stairs, reinforce the middle 2x10 stringer with 2x4s nailed to both sides (Photo 7). There are a million ways to fasten the stringers solidly to the deck. Photo 8 shows a simple, foolproof, extra-strong method that works especially well even for open-sided stairs built without skirts.
There you go—a pretty, rock solid set of stairs ready for balusters and railings.
Cut only the top and bottom of the stringer with a circular saw. Test fit the stringer by placing it against the deck, and check the tread level with a small level.
Cut the notches with a circular saw. Stop the cuts when you reach the corner of the notch and finish the cuts with a handsaw to prevent weakening the stringers. Use the stringer as a pattern to mark and cut the two other notched stringers.
Outline the pattern onto one of the skirt boards. Redraw the top and bottom lines with the carpenter's square and gauges at the original settings. Cut the top off so it will be even with the bottom of overhanging deck boards (see Photo 7) and cut off the end of the bottom so it's about 5 in. high. Fasten stringers to the skirts with 3-in. deck screws spaced about every 8 in., alternating from the front and from the back. Nail 2x4 supports to both sides of the middle stringer flush with the bottom for extra support (Photo 7).
These stairs call for 2x10 treated material for the rot-resistant notched stair stringers (also known as jacks or carriages, Photo 1) that won't be seen. This design also uses 2x12 skirt boards that attach to the sides of the outside stringers. The skirts serve several purposes:
Use a level to draw two plumb lines to mark the left and right positions for the skirts and horizontal lines to mark the top tread location. Tack the skirts to the rim with 3-in. deck screws. Then screw through the back of the deck rim into the skirts with three more deck screws (Photo 8). Center the middle stringer and screw it into the rim with two deck screws.
Screw a 2x6 the width of the stringers to the backside of the stringers with two deck screws into each board. Screw two upright treated 2x6s to the backside of the rim and into the horizontal 2x6 with four deck screws into the rim and four more into the 2x6.
Nail on the bottom riser with three 8d galvanized nails into each stringer and square the stairs by "cross-taping" the assembly and shifting it back and forth until the measurements are the same. (The bottom riser will probably need to be ripped to height.)
Nail on the second riser board and then screw on the two 2x6 bottom treads, leaving a 1/4-in. gap between the boards. Nail on the next riser, then the next tread and so on to work your way to the top of the stairs.
Building codes contain specific requirements for safe stair design. If you follow the directions in this story, your stairs will be legal and safe. In a nutshell, treads should be more than 9 in. deep and risers 6-1/2 to 8 in. high. Riser heights can vary no more than 3/8 in. from one step to another to reduce trip hazards. However, even a 1/4-in. variation can cause tripping.
If you use 2x6s for tread material like we show, you can build stairs up to 48 in. wide with only three stringers because 2x6s can span up to 2 ft. But if you use the common and thinner 5/4-in. bull-nosed decking for your treads, you'll have to keep stringers no more than 16 in. apart and you'll be limited to 32-in. wide stairs with three stringers. For wider stairs, add one or more evenly spaced stringers depending on the width of your stairs and the tread material you choose.
And remember, you need one right and one left skirt assembly, not two lefts or rights.
You'll need a 4-ft. level, tape measure, calculator, circular saw and a handsaw. If you don't already have a carpenter's square, now's the time to buy one ($10; Photo 2). To do the job right, pick up a set of stair gauges ($5), too. Stair gauges are little clamps that you tighten onto the square at the proper rise (vertical stair height) and run (horizontal tread depth) for exactly duplicating each step as you draw it onto the stringers (Photo 2). The gauges save time and ensure that all the steps are consistent.
Not many calculators are set up to give you fractions, and a readout like 7.65 isn't much help for setting the carpenter's square and stair gauges. Use this chart to help you convert the readout to fractions or for converting fractions to decimals for calculator entries. Choose whichever fraction is closest to the decimal reading for setting your gauges when you lay out your stringers. .125 = 1/8 in. .25 = 1/4 in. .375 = 3/8 in. .5 = 1/2 in. .625 = 5/8 in. .75 = 3/4 in. .87 = 7/8 in.
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.
