Join us in NYC to kick off the East Coast Greenway's 20th
The idea of an East Coast Greenway for safe biking and walking
along the eastern seaboard emerged in November 1991. Just after Thanksgiving
that year, a group of 10 visionaries involved in bicycle and pedestrian
advocacy, urban planning, and parks and recreation met at the Amsterdam Youth Hostel in Manhattan to brainstorm the idea of an off-road trail that would go through cities from Boston to DC.
Since then the vision has grown to a 2,900 mile route spanning from the Canadian border in Maine to the tip of the Florida Keys, which has been available end-to-end since 2004. A dream only 20 years ago, the East Coast Greenway is now available to over 40 million people in communities throughout the Eastern Seaboard.
We currently have over 750 miles of off-road trail, with more coming online every year. We have signage on over 500 miles of our route, with the goal of doubling that in the next year. We have a network of over 14,000 members, supporters, friends, and volunteers. And every day, tens of thousands of people enjoy walking, biking, exercising, commuting, or traveling on the East Coast Greenway.
It's time to celebrate 20 years of outstanding progress toward our vision! We will kick off a year of 20th Anniversary events on December 10th, in New York, the city of our founding. Please join us! The day's events include:
Kickoff 8.5-mile bike ride to the site of our founding, 1-2 PM, FREE, from Pier 84 Bike And Roll (near 42nd St & 12th Ave) crosstown to see the new East Side bike lanes then bicycle through Central Park to the American Youth Hostel – Hostelling International NYC (Upper West Side, Amsterdam Ave & 104th Street).
Photos & Words at the site of our Founding Meeting 2:30-3, FREE, American Youth Hostel (Upper West Side, Amsterdam Ave & 104th Street)
We'll hear a few words from current ECG leaders and our founders who were at
the original meeting before completing the loop on our bike ride enjoying different ECG segments in New York City.
Bike Ride on Hudson River Greenway, 3-4 PM, FREE, starts from HI/American Youth Hostel, Amsterdam Ave & 104th Street
Join us for a fun, relaxed-paced, five mile bike ride from the site of our
founding along the Hudson River Greenway segment of the ECG to the High Line in
Chelsea (with bike renters dropping off their bikes back at Pier 84). Rain or shine, dress for the weather, ride will last approx. an hour and meet up with the High Line Walking Tour for anyone who wants to do both events.
Sunset Walking Tour of the High Line, 4-5 PM, FREE, meet at 30th St. and 10th Ave. in Chelsea
We'll enjoy an evening walk along the High Line, down to Gansevoort St. and
back up to 24th, and watch the sunset. Bring your cameras! Walk will last
approx. an hour.
After dinner at your favorite downtown restaurant, join us at 8 PM
for our kickoff celebration!
20th Anniversary Kickoff Celebration, 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM, SoHo REI in the Puck Building, 303 Lafayette Street, $20 minimum donation, registration

Earlier this week we reported that Google was threatening to block French news websites from its search engine results, in response to a demand that it pay for the content it displayed on its Google News pages.
France, alongside Germany, was reported to be drafting a law that would force Google to license the content it uses from French publishers. Google's immediate reaction was to jump on its high horse, insisting that it actually helped to drive more traffic to France's news sites, before stating that it would sooner drop them altogether rather than pay for any content it uses.
Now though, it looks as if Google has rather meekly backed down. Quartz reports that Eric Schmidt is set to fly into Paris in the next week for high level discussions with France's Junior Minister for Innovation and the Digital Economy, Fleur Pellerin. According to inside sources, Pellerin has already held discussions with the US company and believes that the two parties can reach a deal, doing away with the need to establish any new law.
Should any agreement be reached, it seems almost certain that it would involve money changing hands. French publishers have complained bitterly in the past that Google is taking advertising revenues away from them, as many readers are quite satisfied to just read the headlines on Google News without actually clicking through to their sites to read the stories in full.
It's unclear what might have prompted Google to change tack quite so suddenly, especially when considering how aggressively it had defended its position just one week ago. One can only imagine that for all of its rhetoric, the search company needs the French sites in its news listings more than they need Google.
It will be interesting to see if any other country's news organizations decide to follow France's lead and try to make Google pay as well. Brazil recently did so, but things didn't turn out the same way, with Google's staunch refusal to cough up leading to the National Association of Newspapers' decision to sever all ties with the search engine instead.
The row mirrors a previous quarrel between Google and AFP a few years ago, which resulted in Google eventually agreeing to license the French press agency's content in return for it dropping a $17.5 million lawsuit.

The 10 Best Tourism Cities in AsiaJune 24th, 2009 by JennG
Asia is a continent jam packed with diversity. No matter where you turn you'll find yourself faced with a new culture, unique and friendly people, and the opportunity to see and explore some of the greatest historic and cultural monuments on earth.
The sky's the limit but, unfortunately, most of us are limited on time. Instead, you'll want to start your Asian exploration by visiting some of these incredible cities first.
10. Bangkok, Thailand
The city of Bangkok has undergone several "rebirths" – for lack of a better word – throughout history. The first major change happened during the Vietnam War when soldiers flocked to the city looking for a quiet place to relax. Later, during the 1980's, the city became a hot spot economically – a place where those with money to burn wanted to visit. A favorite hotel in the early 90's was the new Sukhothai Hotel and even though there are dozens of other hot spots, this particular destination remains a favorite amongst regulars. Now the area is one of the hippest, chic cities in all of Asia.
9. Udaipur, India
Image Credit:Abhishek-srivastava
In the capital of the state of Rajasthan you'll find an Indian city bustling with pride and culture. Historically, Udaipur was the capital of Mewar, which was once part of the Rajputana Agency. The city, known mostly for its incredible palaces, is also known as the City of Lakes – a place where some of the most incredible lakes in the state come together. The most popular palace, Lake Palace, sits on an island in Pichola Lake while most of the other palaces have transformed into luxurious hotels.

8. Chiang Mai, Thailand
The city of Chiang Mai has been in existence for over 700 years. It has the distinction of being one of the rare places in Thailand where you will find age-old historic buildings and temples combined with some of today's finest modern architecture. Years ago tourists would only visit Chiang Mai for a day, believing that there was really nothing to see. Today they instead plan extra time for Chiang Mai as they now understand there's always something new to discover – whether in the city or in the surrounding countryside.
7. Luang Prabang, Laos
While Luang Prabang is no longer the capital of Laos, it is still considered to be the religious center of the country. When visiting this province you'll be surrounded by ornate Theravada Buddhist temples, peaceful homes, and buildings finished in a French Indochinese style. The city itself is set where the Mekong and Khan Rivers meet and consistently enchants visitors arriving by boat from around the world.
6. Jaipur, India
Jaipur is perhaps one of the most visited cities in India. Once serving as the capital of Rajasthan, Jaipur was the very first officially planned city in the country to be built. The city now serves as a major hub for businesses, resembling the business district in any major metropolitan city. Visit during one of the many festivals, like the Kite or Elephant festivals, for an experience you'll always remember.

5. Kyoto, Japan
The city of Kyoto served as the capital of Japan for hundreds of years – from 794 through 1868. No longer the capital, it is instead known for being the seventh largest city in Japan. Kyoto was destroyed throughout history by fires and war, though its enemies did recognize its historic value and later spared it from further attack. Now the city is home to more than 1.4 million people and presents an incredibly modern face to the rest of the known world.

4. Hong Kong, China
The city of Hong Kong began as a colony of the United Kingdom and remained so until it was transferred to the People's Republic of China in 1997. Hong Kong operates under its own laws except for instances involving foreign affairs which are deferred to the government of the People's Republic. Visitors are often surprised at how different life in Hong Kong is compared to other areas of China – featuring a unique currency, traditions, and lifestyle.
3. Kathmandu, Nepal
Situated in the heart of the Himalayans, Kathmandu is considered to be one of the most stunning cities in existence today. The city serves as the capital of Nepal and rests in the Kathmandu Valley with two other small cities. Today Kathmandu serves as the capital of Nepal and houses several palaces, government buildings, and international embassies. The shopping districts are world renowned and the hotels in Kathmandu are amongst the most luxurious in the world.
2. Siem Reap, Cambodia
The charming town of Siem Reap is a destination in itself, though most people initially think of it as only a base point for further trips to the Angkor ruins and other surrounding attractions. Most of the architecture in the city, which was originally built over a period of 30 years during the mid-1100's, portrays French colonial styles. Visitors will be astounded by the beautiful samples off Khmer architecture and artwork that do still exist today.

1. Beijing, China
Image Credit:jimg944
Most recently known as the home to the 2008 Olympics, Beijing is the second largest city in China and serves as the capital for the People's Republic of China. The city is so old, in fact, that almost every building has some sort of cultural or historic significance – no matter how small. Throughout the city you'll find yourself faced with incredible temples, palaces, and works of art that will leave you breathless.
Every city throughout Asia has a story of its own. It's up to you to explore them all and find out exactly what each one has to offer. Enjoy!

By FITSNews || Another white, male South Carolina lawmaker is being accused of racially slurring S.C. Rep. Nikki Haley – the Palmetto State's Republican gubernatorial nominee.
Less than a month after S.C. Senator Jakie Knotts (RINO/DIC – Lexington) went on an internet talk show and referred to Haley as a "raghead," State Representative Boyd Brown (D-Fairfield) has been accused of referring to Haley – an Indian-American – as the state's "Slumdog Governor."
The alleged reference – which Boyd vehemently denies – is from the 2008 movie Slumdog Millionaire, which tells the story of a young Indian boy who achieves fame and fortune via his appearance on a popular game show.
"Absurd," Brown told FITS, calling the accusation "totally false."
In fairness, this is not the first attempt to link Brown to racially-insensitive comments. Also, it's worth noting that Brown's accuser – liberal activist Kevin Gray – has campaigned on behalf of Kamau Marcharia, who opposed Brown in last month's Democratic primary.
Here's Gray's allegation, which was posted on his Facebook page:
"This guy has no credibility and hasn't for years," Brown said of Gray.
Previously, Brown was accused of making comments that were insensitive to civil rights leaders, however a tape recording of the meeting in which he allegedly made these comments did not pick up any such reference.
Haley's campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
UPDATE: Gray has taken to his Facebook page again, reiterating that the allegation is true and directing reporters to Corey Hutchins, a reporter with The (Columbia, S.C. Free Times) who he says told him about the slur.
UPDATE II: We just spoke with Corey Hutchins. He says he has never had an on-the-record conversation with Gray about Boyd Brown, and that he has never had an on-the-record conversation with Boyd Brown about Nikki Haley. Hutchins obviously declined to discuss any off-the-record conversations he may have had. Hmmmm …

Lee Addy joins Ghana squad ahead of China friendly
Ghana defender Lee Addy has joined Richmond Boakye-Yiadom and Kwadwo Asamoah in Xi'an for Wednesday's friendly against China.
The Dalian Aerbin player teamed up with the Juventus duo after Saturday's Chinese Super League match at Henan Jianye.
Addy was named man-of-the-match in their 2-1 away victory at the Zhengzhou Hanghai Stadium.
The trio will be joined by Germany-based defender Isaac Vorsah, Berekum Chelsea duo Ernest Sowah and Emmanuel Clottey by Tuesday morning.
The technical team headed by Kwesi Appiah is expected in Xi'an by Tuesday for the team's first training session.
The game will be played at Xi'an's Shaanxi Shangshi Chengkai Stadium.
Ghana squad:
Goalkeepers: Adam Kwarasey (Stromsgodset, Norway), Ernest Sowah (Berekum Chelsea)
Defenders: Harrison Afful (Esperance, Tunisia), John Boye (Rennes, France), Lee Addy (Dalian Aerbin, China), Isaac Vorsah (Hoffenheim, Germany) John Mensah (Un-attached) Abdul Razak Nuhu (Stromsgodset, Norway)

youngman says:August 13, 2012 05:05 pmThis is just a friendly match so let's take it easy. Emmanuel Clottey will surely score his first goal for Ghana. Kwesi Appiah must make sure to start Emmanuel Clottey instead of Gyan
nii adama says:August 13, 2012 06:25 pmClottey definately outshines gyan
onevim says:August 13, 2012 07:53 pmif they didnt start Clottey when dey come to Ghana we will beat them at the airport cos we sick and tired with their rubish,Clottey is far better to start any our match now
Brady says:August 13, 2012 08:05 pmWe should take this match very seriously because China want to use Ghana to announce to the world that they have arrived in soccer. Do you know how much money thrown into their league? Did you see their performance of other sports at the Olympics? FIFA Ranking works in this friendly game. Akwasi Appiah should not under-estimate them.
Lord Denning says:August 14, 2012 02:14 amDoes it really matter who starts the game?. Personally, I do not think it makes any difference whether one starts or comes in as a substitute. The quality of play is what matters, not when the player what time the player comes on the field.

I'm almost two weeks out from my last race (Chileda 10k in La Crosse, WI) with no more races planned until the Portage Triathlon exactly one month from today. The sudden void in racing is clearly making me crazy because I find myself at work working out training plans all the way up to November, mostly as a means of pondering whether or not I could run a full marathon.
I'm going to write this out as a means of thinking it through, although the most likely result will be scaring the bejeezus out of my poor mother. I can already hear her voice as I pull up the website and look at yet another race that is excessively long given my training. "You know you'll probably hurt yourself...."
A full marathon. I started running (at all) 11 months ago with the goal of getting back into 5ks. Then I hit 5 mile races. In May, I did my first half-marathon. I'm spending the summer doing Sprint and Olympic triathlons.
You would think I could call this year A-OK and stick to improving the distances I've worked up to. Apparently not.
Prior to this crazy little idea coming to me, my main plan for races was to do a sprint triathlon on August 17th, an 8k on September 15 and my second half marathon on September 28th.
I was also casually interested in doing the Madison half-marathon again, as they have both a spring race in May and a fall race in November (whoever is calling it a "fall race" is a little out of touch with when winter starts in Wisconsin). While browsing the site, it came to my attention that there is also a full marathon on that date. The part of my brain that makes me decide to do crazy things that I eventually regret immediately woke from its slumber and started to have a little party.
I'll see what you all think. From my last triathlon of the season to the marathon date, I would effectively have 11 weeks to focus on that and train up to it. This was the tentative training schedule I dreamed up. How realistic is this? Should I wait for the phone call from my mom to bring me back to reality or is this a thing that is feasible to do?
Imaginary training plan:
Complicating all of this is the fact that I will be moving 2.5 hours to a new city at the end of August, and starting a new job in October. On the plus side, starting a new job will involve running and other various exercise during job training. So I can get my workout done at work!
Anyways, I won't be heartbroken if I end up going for the half-marathon again. But there is always that little part of me that wants the stupider option.
Other than this conundrum, triathlon training is going well. The heat has gotten unbearable the past week so I'm resorting to actually waking up early in the morning to get my run in (I work second shift, morning isn't real). It has been a fabulous week for swimming though!
Various photos from the past couple weeks of being a triathlete in the Mississippi Valley region:
Small pit stop on the river:
Alright, it was a little more than a pit stop:
Can't beat that view:

I bought this 2005 STi two days ago,and pick it up Monday.
Now my '04 SE3P (RX-8) can sit in the garage while I sort out the new whip.
(Am waiting on a Seibon CF trunk for the 8,to match the CF hood-)
I wasn't planning on buying an STi,I needed a 'winter car' with AWD,the 8 simply will not move for sh*t in the snow.
Modifications will begin shortly,and my friends tell me I'll dump the 8 in the spring and plow the cash into the STi,instead.
Time will tell,for now I'm excited to have two ridiculous top-ten whips in mah' garage!

I can't wait to actually get out and fish with it…"

I was surprised that 3.5 pounds is called light and that the large stuff sack is compared to a small sleeping bag in the video. It looks pretty big and sounds pretty heavy to me. Is it really smaller and lighter than the other options available? Also it seems quite expensive for what it is.
If that is the smallest packing and lightest tube available I don't think I would take a tube on a backpacking trip. Hiking in and using one does appeal to me for day trips though, but the price is enough to make me balk.Jan 31, 2014 at 8:39 pm #2068448
One comment on the video, I've compressed the Backpacker Pro into a 9L stuff sack & recommend the Sea to Summit ultramesh medium size to reduce the volume to easily fit in a backpack. This is what is pictured in the "photos" at http://www.wildernesslitefloattubes.com showing ~16" length of the float tube in the stuff sack.
Regarding use for backpacking, I have used Wood River float tubes weighing 4 to 5 pounds for backpacking wilderness areas for week long trips since 2002. For full disclosure, because Wood River went out of business, I developed the Backpacker Pro so I could replace my old Wood River tubes and have even lighter tubes available for new friends to join us in wilderness fishing with their own, new float tube. Our week long hike last summer was the final "road test" of the Backpacker Pro, and we're planning to take 2 this year….including one with our daughters carrying Backpacker Pro's. These tubes compress into a 9 liter stuff sack to fit nicely inside my 85L expedition backpack (Mountainsmith Specter LT). We're still backpacking with Backpacker Pro float tubes including all the gear for 7 days, and we're, unfortunately, really, really close to 60. We just carry a bit more ibuprofen each year…. and hope to have many more wilderness days in a Backpacker Pro on a mountain lake, which is why we are so pleased to make them available once again to others who wish the same.
Believe me, 3.8 pounds is very packable, and we're very proud to note the Backpacker Pro is MADE IN THE USA.
The photos on the website (www.wildernesslitefloattubes.com) include a young man (age 16) in a Wood River Summer Breeze float tube that weighs ~4.5 pounds, which is heavier than the 3.8 pound Backpacker Pro. This young man, his 14 year old friend, and their fathers (age early 50's) carried tubes, waders, flippers, life jacket, net, water shoes, fly rods & reel, food, clothing, and tent for a week (packs weighing 40-50 pounds) on a 48.7 mile round trip into a wilderness area to fish 6 lakes at 7,000 to 9,000 foot elevation. The hike began at 5,500 feet. Suitable for backpacking—well, yes, proven suitable for ages 14 to 58!

text: Legislature enacts fiscal 2015 budget The Legislature has enacted a $36.5 billion budget for fiscal 2015 that modestly increases funding for K-12 and early education and continues reinvestment in higher education. The budget also revives the Foundation Budget Review Commission, a key legislative priority of the MTA. President Paul Toner said the MTA is "gratified that legislators saw fit to do the right thing" by investing in education and reviving the commission that will review and, if necessary, recalculate the foundation budget formula. "Reviving this commission is so long overdue," Toner said. A comprehensive examination of the foundation budget formula will "put us on the path toward adequate funding so all students can succeed." The review commission was established under Education Reform in 1993, yet there has never been a systematic analysis of whether schools have sufficient resources to enable students to meet state standards. The budget has moved to Governor Deval Patrick's office for review. The governor can sign it into law, veto it or propose changes and send it back to the Legislature.

Ts'up guys?
Picking up my Satin 2010 WRX standard in 7 weeks. Wedding present from my parents, so to ease their purchasing minds, I chose the more cost-conscious standard package. I milked them a bit by adding on some interior peices I would normally have forgone if I were buying it. Sport grill, molding, cup-holders, luggage nets. However, since WRX's are known for modding, I figured I'd be able to bump that 265hp up a bit as soon as I got it with some personal funds. I have about $1000 I can spend. I have a couple of questions for anyone that knows.
1 - Thought about sway bars. Couldn't get a definitive answer on this from the web, but does this car come standard with any strut bars.....what about sway bars? If so, should I think about replacing the factory? Will this void the warranty?
2 - Are there any dealer authorized power mods for around $600 or so that are easy to install for a beginner? I'm not a beginner to the automotive world, after taking care of and building up a '93 eagle talon tsi awd for about 10 years. I'm just new to the boxer-engine set-up
3 - What are these "stages" all about? Is there a Stage 1 kit I could put on, what does it cost, what does it entail? Should I wait until I'm able to put a whole stage 1 kit on?
3 - Are there any groups in NC that like to go curve-riding? I'm a member of a bike group that goes out on weekends to tear some kneepads up....do you guys go tear tires up regularly? I love gettin' side-ways every now and again.
Alright that's it for now. I know I'm such a newbie, but... I'm so pumped...not sure how i'm going to wait 7 weeks.
Let me have it!

Napoli Vs Chelsea - Match Preview. Champions League
Do you like this story?
Last 5 results:
Napoli – WWLDD (in order from recent to previous)
Chelsea – DLDDW
Probable Line ups :
Napoli (3-4-3) – Morgan De Sanctis, Salvatore Aronica, Paolo Cannavaro, Armando Campagnaro, Walter Gargano, GokhanInler, Christian Maggio, Andrea Dossena, MarekHamsik, EzequielLavezzi, EdinsonCavani.
Chelsea (4-3-3) – Petr Cech, BranaIvanovic, David Luiz, John Terry*, Ashley Cole*, Raul Meireles, Ramires, Frank Lampard, Juan Mata, Didier Drogba, Daniel Sturridge.
* indicates current status is injured but might feature in the game.
Play Style :
Napoli – likes to stay composed and strong at the midfield and the back, and hit out on counters.
Chelsea – likes to keep the possession and move around the ball, plays a semi – highline football, sometimes leaving them vulnerable at the back.
Players to watch out :
Napoli –
Edison Cavani – Cavani was one of the hottest property in Europe through the last two – three transfer windows. Tall,strong, quick and agile, Cavani is a classy finisher who can make the most out of even the half chances.
MarekHamsik – Much is talked about the danger of EdinsonCavani, but MarekHamsik is a figure as important as the former to Napoli. The creative outlet of the team is well known for his incisive passing as well as well taken goals.
Juan Mata – There have been few positives out of this Chelsea season. And Juan Mata is one of the positive along with team mate Daniel Sturridge. Precise passing, dangerous deliveries and also a eye for goal makes him the most dangerous Chelsea man to watch out for.
Daniel Sturridge – Another prospect that has given smiles to Chelsea fans. Even after rumours of him being unhappy at the Bridge, bets can be made that Daniel Sturridge might be the one to open the scoring for Chelsea. Quick, tricky this young English striker has a viscious left foot and has a trademark cutting in from the right and taking a shot from the left foot.
Ashley Cole – Ashley Cole has been the most stable Chelsea defender this season. He is well strong at the back and better going forward. The pace of the Chelsea game is often defined by this mans involvement.
Prediction : Considering the dip in form of Chelsea and the somehow better form of Napoli, an Italian win can be most predicted. But I somehow believe this is going to be a one a piece draw, with Cavani to score for Napoli and Daniel Sturridge to equalize for Chelsea.
Napoli 1-1 Chelsea

If you are one of the many people who have determined that religion no longer has a place in their life, but are still dealing with the after-effects in some way or another, Recovering From Religion may be just the right spot for you. Many people come to a point that they no longer accept the supernatural explanations for the world around them, or they realize just how much conflict religious belief creates. It can be difficult to leave religion because family and culture put so much pressure on us to stay and pretend to believe the unbelievable. If this is you, we want to help you find your way out.
Don't let people convince you that you just didn't have 'enough' faith, or that you just haven't found the "right" religion.
The primary focus of Recovering From Religion is to provide ongoing and personal support to individuals as they let go of their religious beliefs. This transitional period is an ongoing process that can result in a range of emotions, as well as a ripple effect of consequences throughout an individual's life. From the grief of letting go of the familiar, to the anger of being lied to and wronged in the name of religion, to the joy of realizing every choice we make is truly our own, and the inevitable grappling with the imposed codependency of religion...as well as the opportunities for education and personal growth...there are many things to discuss with people familiar with the experience. Monthly meetings are the ideal opportunity to do just that.
Each local meeting is free to attend (some groups accept free-will donations for their local needs, but you are NEVER expected to pay to attend), and has it's own personality and flair, but everyone exploring a life outside of religious belief is welcome. You don't have to worry about being preached to, or anyone telling you to "pray harder" because proselytizing and evangelizing are NOT allowed...including advocacy of "faith healing" or any new age supernatural beliefs as well.
Our experience is that leaving religion is a transitional experience. The more engrained in fundamentalism you are, the further you have to travel on your journey out of dogma and superstition. Many people transition through liberal religions, even liberal Christianity, as well as some earth based pagan beliefs and Buddhist precepts in attempts to connect with "an energy greater than themselves." We at Recovering From Religion truly do understand this need to gradually loosen your hold on the dogmatic structure of religious belief. At the same time, we will encourage you to explore those beliefs using logic and reason, and it is our hope to help you move towards a life free from superstitious adherences.
Recovering from Religion is led by Tim Brewer and Randall Browning ([masked])
Well, fortunate for me to this meeting has been cancelled. I was going to be unable to make it tonight. And was disappointed about that. So looking forward now to the next meeting.

So this has been canceled?

Help old Florida home
I have a 1959 old florida home with a flat tar and gravel roof. I been in this house for two years and the summer heat has been a ouch to my wallet. this house gets so hot the are will not shut off. The inside air temp gets higer than the a.c. thermostat setting. I am replacing the old soffit vents to a 4x6 vent. Note there is no Insulation and I have only 7 1/2 inches from celling to roof. How much if any room do I have to put blow Insulation in. Cant put in bats It would be to hard.
Put in as much as you can fit and afford. The more the better. Seems like you may need new stones on the roof also.
Help old Florida home
I read someware that I need to keep some open air space in the rafters. Wont that cook the roof even more?
you never want to seal any ventilation, but this type of insulation will settle. Should be some sort of foam venting boards at the edges to prevent this insulation from clogging any soffit venting.
I'd build a peaked roof over the house with proper ventilation & insulation
Help Old Florida Home
no ,there is nothing to hold any insulation back other than the soffit vent itself. The vent does have a screen in it to prevent pest from getting in. It sounds like I will rent a blower and fill the space up with blown Insulation. Will this get moist in the winter? What have you herd on this elastomeric coating for the top of the roof? They say it is real Reflective of the suns rays. Thanks
there are no easy answers to your question.It sounds like your roof rafters are your ceiling rafters.So that would mean you have sloping ceilings,to blow this area you will need an opening or two between each rafter the openings can be made from roof (outside or ceiling inside) are you better at fixing your roof or repairing your ceilings.Now to the insulation blow the insulation in a soft blow method packing this area to tight will lead to sweating problems.I hope this works out for you.I would say you have a 95% chance of this working well for you.
I have not heard from any other people on this problem for some time now. Is there any other help I can do ?

The WWAST is comprised of young, competitive, athletic veterans and active duty soldiers who have lost limbs post-9/11 while serving their country in the military/war. This group has traveled around the country playing in exhibition and celebrity softball games to raise awareness of the sacrifices and resilience of our military and highlight their ability to rise above any challenge.

Wednesday the 16th will bring the Curve, Pa. All-Star Experience where fans will have the opportunity to attend an autograph and photo session with the Eastern League All-Stars. After the autograph and photo session, fans will then be able to watch batting practice before the All-Star Clash itself will cap the two days of events at PNG Field.

Decision time: Ford workers at the Geelong and Campbellfield plants will vote on a new deal this Friday.
16 November 2009
By JAMES STANFORD
UNION members at Ford Australia's Victorian plants will vote on an enterprise agreement, which includes a 12-month pay freeze, this Friday.
Meetings will be held at Ford's Geelong and Campbellfield factories, with members encouraged by union leaders to accept the three-year agreement that has taken more than six months to thrash out.
Ford Australia initially had pushed for a two-tier pay system under which new employees would be paid less than existing workers, but the union flatly refused it.
However, the 12-month pay freeze sought by the company has been included in the package to be put to the vote, but more than four months of that period has already passed as the agreement period started in July.
From July 2010, the hourly base rate would increase by $30, with another $30 increase in August 2011 and a further $20 increase in July 2012.
A range of other issues, including planning and logistics at its Victorian facilities, have all been resolved in the proposed agreement.
Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union national secretary Ian Jones told GoAuto that the agreement that would be presented to its members was a good one.
"It goes up for the vote with the unanimous support of the vehicle shop stewards," he said.
"I think the agreement is a responsible agreement for very, very difficult times."
Mr Jones said the agreement was good for workers as well as for Ford.
"When you analyse the outcome, in these times, it is quite remarkable," he said.
Mr Jones would not be drawn on whether he thought the Ford workers would say yes to the deal on Friday.
"I've been around too long to second-guess that," he said.
Left: Ford Australia president Marin Burela.Ford Australia president Marin Burela last week said he was confident workers would like the agreement.
"I have no reason to believe that this won't get up," he said.
"It is the right thing for our people, it is the right thing for Ford. It will give us the ability to build a foundation to move us forward, and as I have said, we are a brand on the move, we are making great progress but we also have to be mindful that we are coming out of a situation that we have never seen historically and we need to be very, very conscious of."
Mr Burela said Ford and its workers would benefit from the approval of the agreement.
"It is a balanced agreement that I think meets everyone's needs," he said.
"If we can get this across the line it will be a great day for our people and a great day for our company."

One of the hottest-selling items at the Sydney Cricket Ground during any major sports event has to be the cheapest, nastiest polo shirt sold at the merchandise stand closest to the Members' entrance.
It doesn't matter if it's hot pink, costs $78, and has Mitchell Johnson pashing Merv Hughes and David Boon printed across the front in an ill-conceived homage to moustaches in Test cricket. Blokes will buy it if it has a collar.
Why? Because it's a tradition as predictable as beer snakes and beach balls on the boundary rope that at least one man invited to join a group in the most hallowed of Sydney sporting venues will forget to wear a collared shirt.
It's like turning up to the airport without your passport or Cape Canaveral sans space suit. You'd think every guy who can count to 21 without needing to strip naked would remember the rule. But blokes just forget.
It doesn't matter if you're wearing a $2000 cashmere Viktor & Rolf sweater, silk slacks and Gucci loafers; if you haven't got a collar, you're not getting in, hombre.
So, for decades, men in their thousands have turned around, run to the merch stand or cabbed it home to get changed, swearing at their own stupidity, their mates (more recently) sending them cackling texts asking, "English is your first language, right?"
I'd have thought the same thinking would apply to the length of a dress when a woman tries to enter the Members.
Despite the handy picture on its website illustrating what is considered an "appropriate" length for said attire, a Sydney solicitor came to more grief for going short than England's bowling because her skirt was "above the knee".
Lynda Reid, 35, had read the admittedly vague regulation for the M.A. Noble and Ladies stands, which states "women are expected to maintain a suitable standard in keeping with the dignity and traditions of the Members Reserve" but, like many lawyers, I guess she was sniffing 'round for the loophole.
I don't know a huge amount about women's fashion but the old "hemline below the knee" is one of those infuriatingly stodgy rules even I picked up listening to Catholic schoolgirls as a teen travelling on the 604 bus.
And when words like "dignity and tradition" appear in a dress code, I'd put it to the goodly members of the jury you'd have to be cock-eyed or contrary not to get the vibe of it; ie. you dress like you're going to a job interview. Or a funeral. Or a christening.
If you wanna get tricky, you do so at your own risk, which is why only a visiting Indian radio commentator would try slip into the Members wearing a Nehru collar (and if he'd visited the SCG as a player, even he'd know better, which Reid, as a member of 25 years' standing, certainly should have).
However, instead of copping it on the chin like the 500 gajillion men and boys who've done the abovementioned quick change in the SCG toilets, Reid launched a public campaign of breathtaking petulance, quitting the SCG Members because the stewards (earning about $18.50 an hour) "absolutely ruined" the poor sausage's day.
It's a reaction that must have had every man who's been turned away from a bar or club for wearing running shoes, jeans or a T-shirt shaking their heads.
In fact, I reckon the only person in Sydney more clueless of how luck and privilege have smiled upon their life is this week's new SCG Member who's taken Reid's spot after 15 years on the waiting list.
Anyway Lynda, welcome to our world, where men are routinely culled from any number of venues by dress regulations that "lack clarity". It certainly is "quite ridiculous".
Now you're no longer a Member, let me be the first to extend you an invitation to join us "hicks" in the O'Reilly Stand - my fave when I can't scam a corporate box or a Member's pass - for the one-day series.
I always enjoy Bay 10 and, believe me, you can wear whatever you want. Yellow and green wigs, sombreros, T-shirts boasting a "King Pair" - you could even don a Union Jack bikini top and charge $5 a pop to put sunscreen on the backs of the Barmy Army.
You'll also get to participate in another of those rustic traditions you might have missed out on sitting in the genteel shadows of the Ladies Stand. It usually starts sometime after lunch, when even the mid-strength beer we plebs are forced to drink kicks in and the crowd starts to chant.
"Members are wankers!"
I'm sure, even you, would now agree.

The City's largest graduate recruiter, PwC, is to swell its ranks of university leavers by more than 30%.
The accountancy giant plans to take on a record 1532 graduates and 143 school leavers this year, up from 1220 last year, as its staffing boss said the financial-services firm had "held its nerve" during the economic downturn.
In total, 2500 students will be enlisted for full-time, internship and work-experience roles.
PwC said it had been swamped with job applications for both graduate and experienced positions — receiving 80,000 last year including 47 sent on Christmas Day.
PwC was second only to teaching charity Teach First in the graduate-recruitment stakes last year and was marginally ahead of rival Deloitte, according to a High Fliers Research study.
Its new jobs will be in its tax, assurance, actuarial, legal, consulting and advisory divisions, as well as in technology testing and security.
PwC head of people Gaenor Bagley said: "We held our nerve through the downturn and maintained our graduate-recruitment levels in a tough economic environment.
"This has positioned us well for a return of market confidence. Our ambitious recruitment plans this year reflect our confidence in our growth, and the role we see graduates playing in delivering that growth."
The move comes as a £2.3 million PwC initiative to attract young Londoners in part backed by the Olympic Legacy fund draws to a close. The London Professional Apprenticeship, launched in December, offers 250 professional and business-services trainees funding and training.
London Mayor Boris Johnson urged more businesses to echo PwC's backing for graduates after it put £900,000 into the scheme, to which the Department for Business has contributed £1.4 million.
Government statistics show 115,000 apprenticeships were undertaken in the first three quarters of the last financial year, up from 45,000 in the prior year with 40% in business, administration and law.
The professional and business-services sector is forecast to create more than 600,000 new jobs by 2020.Reuse content

text: A bike ride was held in Old Town on Sunday as a way to give back. Tamara Hunt has lived in the town since 2007 and knows the community is pretty special."This town raised money for 10 consecutive months to pay my mortgage while I was travelling back and forth repeatedly to Boston with my child," explained Hunt.It was one community member in particular who really helped her family out. Earlier this year she hired Chris Weiss, also of Old Town, to help convert her furnace to natural gas.Hunt said, "He saw my daughter and saw that she was sick and took it upon himself to talk with his boss and a supply distribution company."Weiss was able to work out a deal so the Hunt family wouldn't have to pay a cent."I've had cancer for 5 years, her daughter is suffering from similar illnesses, so I feel for kids," said Weiss.It was a good deed that wasn't forgotten. When Weiss's cancer took a turn for the worse and he needed to have his arm amputated, Hunt wanted to give back to the person who helped her so much."I felt exceedingly compelled to help support his family during this difficult time," said Hunt.That's why she organized Sunday's bike ride. The funds raised will help pay for Weiss's travel and medical costs. She also set up a donation fund at Bangor Savings Bank. Those who would like to help out can visit any of the bank's branches and say they'd like to donate to the Weiss family.Hunt said, "We generally need to spend most of our lives paying it forward, but rarely do we have the opportunity to give back to the people who directly gave that to us."

Previously known as Anglian Windows, the company's dominant positioning within the consumer home improvement market is expected to reach over a third of a million visitors nationwide through the high profile events, with significantly more via supporting marketing and communications activity. This comes following a successful 2012 for Anglian Home Improvements, which saw a 25 per cent increase in conservatory sales, despite the market being down 15 per cent overall. The company has recently carried out a refurbishment of its conservatory showrooms after doubling its capital investment to £3.7m, including the opening last month of a new state-of-the-art flagship site in Norwich. Melanie McDonald, Head of Marketing and Communications at Anglian Home Improvements, says, "For nearly fifty years, Anglian has been at the forefront of bringing quality home improvement products to British homeowners looking for innovative and stylish ways to renovate their homes. In becoming the headline sponsor for the UK's major home improvement shows during 2013, Anglian is marking its commitment to remaining Britain's biggest home improvement company." The sponsorship programme commences on 15 March at the opening of the Ideal Home Show, an event that Anglian has been involved with for more than thirty years. As part of its sponsorship, Anglian will offer its customers a VIP package that includes fast track entry, free giveaways, reserved seating in the Anglian SuperTheatre and other key areas of the show, reinforcing Anglian's commitment to its customers and to raising the standard. The Ideal Home Show runs until 1 April at Earls Court in London. The National Homebuilding & Renovating Show launches less than a week after the Ideal Home Show, taking place at the NEC in Birmingham from 21-24 March. This saturation of the home improvement market continues with The Scottish Homebuilding & Renovating Show in May, The Southern Homebuilding & Renovating Show in June, The National Home Improvement Show in London during September and The Northern and The South West Homebuilding & Renovating Shows in November. Established in 1966, Anglian Home Improvements is the UK's biggest double glazing window, door and conservatory specialist. With almost 50 years' experience, Anglian offers an extensive range of home improvement products, including double glazing windows and doors, Rooftrim, conservatories, orangeries, driveways, solar products and garage conversions.

Puppy was too nervous to pee outside???
Here's typically the start to our day.
5:30- Wake up and go out to pee (the little guy is already sleeping through the night so in the a.m. he has to go a lot.
5:45- Back in the house to eat while I get ready for work. Once he's done eating he quietly waits on me.
6:00- Back outside to poop. Once he's done we go right back inside to play for a bit or train.
6:15- Back in the kennel to sleep for another hour until my wife wakes up. He goes back to sleep too.
He has been doing great on this schedule so far but this morning was very weird.
5:30- Went out to pee and on the way down the stairs, started shaking and pouting like normal because he really really has to go.
5:31- Step outside and he won't move. Didn't even want to walk out the door but I got him to. He then sat at the door even though I tried to bring him over to the grass and said, "go potty." (he knows this "command")
-He just sits there for several minutes with a very strange/slightly scared posture. There aren't any other dogs out, it wasn't raining, etc. It is a pretty humid day and we are expecting bad weather tomorrow but he's experienced a storm before. The only thing I can think of is he is afraid of the swing in temperature/barometric pressure, but that shouldn't stop him from peeing.
5:35- All he wants to do is go back in the house so I bring him in to carry on with our day. We'll he finishes eating just before I finish changing then cries for a sec. I tell him I'm coming and 15 seconds later I walk in and for lack of a better term there is a sea of pee all over the kitchen. I don't mean he went then tracked it. I mean it looked like he peed for 30-40 seconds while walking all over the kitchen. He obviously couldn't hold it any longer and didn't know what to do so started walking. After cleaning it up (unfortunately he watched me clean it because he was covered in it so I didn't want him to leave the tile of the kitchen. I know you aren't supposed to but whatever, he looked like he felt sorry the whole time) we went back outside to poo. Again he wouldn't leave the door. He was just very very weird. I stood outside and kept putting him back on the grass/dirt until he pooped a little. Then he wanted to go right back into the house.
It was strange... any ideas?
