text: Show Hide image 7 September 2011 9/11 memories: George Galloway We asked a former MP: where were you on 9/11? Sign up for our weekly email * I was at home watching live television as the second plane hit the towers. I knew immediately this was an al-Qaeda-inspired atrocity and that the world would never be the same again. Within half an hour I was writing a comment piece that began: "Remember, remember the 11th of September: gunpowder, treason and plot." It was a day like no other in my lifetime, and not because it was the first atrocity - nor even because it was the first 9/11 (that was the murderous, US-organised coup against the socialist president of Chile, Salvador Allende, on 11 September 1973). Nor was it the worst atrocity of our times - the US-backed Israeli government, in which Ariel Sharon was defence minister, facilitated the massacre of even greater numbers of defenceless Palestinian refugees in the Beirut camps of Sabra and Shatila. But it was clearly a harbinger of a slaughter across the world that would, in the end, consume the lives and livelihoods of millions in Afghanistan, Iraq and beyond, and which continues today. I said then that there would be war throughout the world and so there has been. Most Americans thought these planes had emerged out of a clear blue sky. In fact, they emerged from the swamp of bitterness and hatred created by western double standards and injustice towards the Muslim world.

Cooperation On Social Networks And Its Robustness
In this work we have used computer models of social-like networks to show by extensive numerical simulations that cooperation in evolutionary games can emerge and be stable on this class of networks. The amounts of cooperation reached are at least as much as in scale-free networks but here the population model is more realistic. Cooperation is robust with respect to different strategy update rules, population dynamics, and payoff computation. Only when straight average payoff is used or there is high strategy or network noise does cooperation decrease in all games and disappear in the Prisoner's Dilemma.

COMING DAILY IN METRO: This is one in a series of stories about members of The Gazette's Best and Brightest Class of 2005. In grade school, children teased Lindsay Renkel because, as the daughter of a struggling single mother, she did not have as much as other kids.
For a while, the barbs left her shy and afraid to venture out. Eventually, the depression and embarrassment fell away as she saw how her mother, Julie Renkel, persevered — going from a young mother needing public assistance and food stamps to an account manager at an insurance firm. Those difficult times, Lindsay Renkel said, molded her values. It became important to be part of "a chain of giving," she said. "I truly believe that as one person is helped, they will give to others." She has immersed herself into not only in academic work and school activities such as the school newspaper, but also in community service. "I'll never forget when I was an intern with Christmas Unlimited and met a woman who had been hit by a hard time," she said. "Her son wanted a 'Lord of the Rings' doll, and I was able to find one. She told me the help I gave her meant the world to her. And it meant the world to me, as well. It showed me how much one little thing can mean a lot to someone." Renkel also worked after school as a restaurant hostess and retail clerk to help pay for things like her college tests. A school friend, Kacy Dahl, said Renkel doesn't volunteer just for credits. "She puts her heart and soul into a cause," Dahl said. Once, when delivering valentines to a senior center with other students, Renkel "was the only one who really sat down and talked to them," Dahl said. Dahl said Renkel has a knack for making situations fun, like volunteering to salsa dance in the cafeteria to help out the Spanish Club, even though she didn't know the dance steps. "She went into an uncomfortable and dorky situation with a huge smile," Dahl said. LINDSAY RENKEL Mitchell High School Parent: Julie Renkel What's next: Study business at Denver University, then create or work for nonprofit charitable group. If you had to lose all your material possessions except one, what would you keep and why? "I've had this burgundy and pink blanket since I was little. My great aunt Adeline crocheted it before she died for my mom and me. So it reminds me of family, her and my mom, and my grandmother Darlene who always helped me. I look at it and feel comforted. I'll probably take it to college." Other stuff: Christmas Unlimited volunteer and intern; Girl Scouts; Pikes Peak Library Summer Reading Program volunteer; Care & Share food drive; student government, executive secretary to adviser; Future Business Leaders of America, vice president; National Honor Society; El Pomar Youth in Community Service.

Chris Brown Judges Kids' Dance Show After Car Crash
February 10, 2013 | Posted by
TMZ reports that Chris Brown went to judge an event for the Debblie Allen Dance Academy after his car crash.
Brown was reportedly cut off by two paparazzi when he was on his way to an event in his Porsche. Brown's car was totaled, but Brown went uninjured. Brown's charity, the Symphonic Love Foundation, works with the Debbie Allen Dance Academy, and they give out year-long scholarships to select children.

The Green Party has launched a campaign it hopes will convince Aucklanders to support the proposed City Rail Link.
The Greens, who have the backing of the Labour Party, want their Reconnect Auckland campaign to bring "tens of thousands" of people together to pressure the Government into helping build the rail link.
The campaign was launched yesterday at the Green Party's Auckland office, a potential site for the Karangahape Rd station once the link is built.
"The Greens were proud to have played an essential role in forcing the last Government to commit to electrification of the Auckland rail network, which was necessary to build the City Rail Link. Next step is the CRL," party co-leader Dr Russel Norman said.
"It is time for the Government to make the major investment needed in smart green transport solutions that Aucklanders want."
Labour's transport spokesman Iain Lees-Galloway said if his party was elected it would move quickly to build the rail project that "the city desperately needs".
"Auckland's motorways need to be freed up to allow the efficient movement of freight," he said.
"That can only be achieved by building reliable, regular and user-friendly public transport. The City Rail Link is a vital component of Auckland's public transport network."
In March last year Auckland transport estimated the CRL would take 5 years to build at a cost of $2.86 billion.
It would be built in two 3.5km long, twin tunnels up to 45 metres below the city centre.
The existing rail line would be extended underground through Britomart, to Albert, Vincent and Pitt Streets, then beneath Karangahape Road and the Central Motorway Junction and over to Symonds Street before rising to join the western line at Eden Terrace.
"The line would provide for three additional city centre stations in the vicinity of the Aotea Centre, Karangahape Road and Newton," Auckland Transport said.

"The scheme seeks to restore the affected women to a position of dignity and self-confidence," says the report card of UPA-II government, presented by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Sunday, May 22, on the completion of two years in power.
"A new scheme of financial assistance and support services to victims of rape has been formulated to provide financial assistance to enable the victims of rape to cope with the trauma suffered and tide over their immediate and long-term needs.
"The ceiling of financial assistance, together with support services, is Rs 2 lakh, which can be enhanced to Rs 3 lakh in case of ''aggravated rape''," it said.
The report also highlights the alarming incidents of sexual offences against children.
"The reported incidents of sexual offences against children have been on the rise. At the same time, the conviction rate for such offences has been going down," it said.
To address this issue, a bill on Protection of Children from Sexual Offences has been introduced in Parliament this year, the report said.
On the issue of sexual harassment of women at the workplace, the government said it is a violation of women's right to equality, life and liberty.
Protection of Women against Sexual Harassment at Workplace bill has been introduced in the Lok Sabha during the winter session of Parliament.

Rock Bottom
Short Story by: ImYuki
Status: Finished
Genre: True Confessions
Rock Bottom
Strip: Hey! Wait up!
Kim: Yuki!
Strip: That guy wants to race you! Come back!
Strip: Big baller!
Yuki: :O
Strip: You can totally take him, you know that right?
Yuki: What does he drive?
Strip: 99 Mustang, it's a 5.0 hahaha
Kim: Nothing stock about it at all.
Strip No doubt.
Strip: 2g, we can go to Pete's right…
Kim: Celebrate with them wafers!!
Strip: Wooooo!
Kim: Wooooo!
Yuki: Yea I do all the work, you all pig the fuck out, typical.
Kim: And you know it baby!
Strip: Besides you owe me, and you know it. These people will never beat you we all know that already.
Yuki: I don't owe you shit.
Strip: Remember when…
Yuki: Shut up! Let's do this.
Kim: Wooooo!
Strip: Wooooo!
I am by no means the best, regardless of what is up for question. I have been defeated many times and in many different ways, from the streets and into the bedroom. I will never rage and I will never quit I can tell you that much. I remember this dialogue only because it has to do with The Big Race. It's not a big role but the driver of that Mustang goes by the name Georgie. He beat a few people, built himself a rep and then went on to be defeated by Kim herself. If he's beatable then why would I accept the challenge in the first place, two grand that's why, isn't it obvious? He always seemed like the cocky type to me and I don't really like that. They became good friends him and Kim. He continued to speak of Kim as if she is the best in the history of ever. It never bothered me because I never have anything to prove to anyone, not even to myself. The part that did bother me was that at some point in time he began to hype up The Big Race. Truthfully, I never had any intention of ever racing Kim, nor did she ever want to race against me. We were both just friends doing what we enjoy doing. Neither of us cared who was better, we never once talked about it since that very first time we met but we both knew that it was just talk and that's all it was.
People eventually began talking about us so much to the point where they began to bad mouth us both. They finally got on Kim's last nerves. I've never met anyone with the willpower to just not give a shit, anyone that has the patience that I have. She asked me one day, and to kind of get everyone off her back and to shut up, I went along with it. I tend to do that a lot, agreeing in a bad situation even though I don't. I think it's because it makes people happy to be right and in return I too get happy when I make someone else happy. This is the 100% truth on how it went down. I, myself can't seem to figure it out but perhaps someone else can tell me who's at fault. I'm not looking for any one person to blame specifically but more along the lines of what was the actual event, the very moment that started the chain reaction of the outcome of The Big Race. When it comes down to anything that has to do with The Big Race, I can clearly remember it all. For example:
Kim: Hey, what's up?
Strip: I lost my shoes. =/
Kim: wow
DeVeN: wtf
Kim: Talk to us, what's up?
Kim: How do you lose your shoes?
DeVeN: No seriously…. WTF?
Strip: At least I didn't lose my ass right? RIGHT? :P
Kim: …
Yuki: …
DeVeN: …
Tiffy: …
Strip: :P
That was the very last time the five of us were together. Not too long after this day is when my world began to slowly fall apart.
Throughout my life I am constantly reminded of my favorite movie of all time "Fight Club". There is one line in particular that goes, "First, you have to know, not fear, know that someday you are going to die." It goes on immediately to say the following line, "It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything." I don't not agree with the second part but I do take these lines serious when compared to my own life and everything that has happened. I guess in the end I don't want to be truly free, I am not willing to pay the price of losing everything, although it is getting pretty close.

FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) — With his life on the line, Maj. Nidal Hasan has done nothing to dissuade jurors from giving him a death sentence. When his standby lawyers pleaded in vain to argue on his behalf, he described them as "overzealous."
Hasan presented no witnesses or evidence during the sentencing phase of his trial, which began after he was convicted last week of killing 13 people in the 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood. The attack also injured 30 people at the sprawling Army post in central Texas.
He has one final chance Wednesday to give a closing argument before his case goes to the jury, which can give him death or life in prison without parole. But so far, the Army psychiatrist's absent defense has only stoked suspicion that his ultimate goal is martyrdom, in the form of a death sentence that would allow him to fulfill what prosecutors have described as a "jihad duty" under his Islamic faith.
Prosecutors didn't touch on Hasan's motives during their closing argument Wednesday morning, focusing on the victims as they insisted Hasan deserved to be executed.
"He dealt death to soldiers. He dealt no compassion. He dealt no understanding. He dealt no exceptions. He only dealt death," the lead prosecutor, Col. Mike Mulligan, told the jury. "Because of what he did, because of who he did it to and because of where he did it, the just and appropriate sentence in this is death."
It remained unclear whether Hasan planned to address jurors. But the prosecutor reminded them that if Hasan did choose to speak during this phase of the trial, prosecutors wouldn't get a rebuttal.
Hasan has been representing himself during the trial, and his lack of defense has caused problems with the military defense attorneys ordered to help him. Whatever his ultimate motives, Hasan can tie his standby lawyers' hands if he wants.
Legal experts say he has a nearly unshakable right under the Sixth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution to represent himself. The military judge, Col. Tara Osborn, has repeatedly warned him about the danger of being his own attorney, and the three lawyers assigned to help him have tried to step in at least twice.
Osborn denied their latest request Tuesday, and twice used the same metaphor.
"Maj. Hasan is the captain of his own ship," she said.
Any lawyer trying to save Hasan would have a daunting task. In two days of sentencing, prosecutors called widows, parents and other loved ones of the people Hasan killed. They offered a picture of their overwhelming grief and struggle to move forward after his attack. At least one juror appeared visibly emotional during parts of testimony.
Osborn revealed some of what Hasan's standby attorneys wanted to tell jurors as she reviewed and denied their motion. Among that evidence includes his good behavior in custody before trial and his offer before trial to plead guilty — which was rejected under military rules because prosecutors are seeking a death sentence.
But Hasan was dismissive of his standby attorneys' attempts. He repeatedly objected, and as one of them asked to argue the motion, he commented that he had "overzealous defense counsel."
Osborn is "in a tough situation, no matter what happens," said Victor Hansen, a military law expert at the New England School of Law, in an interview earlier this month. "At the end of the day, the defendant has the absolute right to decide who's going to represent him, including deciding to represent himself."
Hasan rested his case shortly after more than a dozen widows, mothers, fathers, children and other relatives of those killed testified about their lives since the attack. They talked of eerily quiet homes, lost futures, alcoholism and the unmatched fear of hearing a knock on the door.
Sheryll Pearson sobbed when shown a photo of her son, Pfc. Michael Pearson, hugging her during his graduation.
"We always wanted to see who he was going to become. Now that was taken away from us," she said.
Teena Nemelka lost the youngest of her four children, Pfc. Aaron Nemelka, whom she called, "my baby." She talked about her frantic searches for information in the moments after learning about the Nov. 5, 2009, shooting and about her fear of hearing a knock at the front door of her home.
"You just freeze," she said. "You don't want to open that door."
But the knock came, with "the worst news you could ever hear."
Philip Warman said the slaying of his wife, Lt. Col. Juanita Warman, "was like I had something ripped out of me."
"I pretty much drank until the following June," he said.
He said he checked into a substance abuse center for 28 days, and he had friends remove his weapons from his home because he didn't trust himself.
Warman now takes the coins distributed during his Alcoholic Anonymous meetings to Arlington National Cemetery, where his wife is buried next to another Fort Hood victim, Maj. Eduardo Caraveo.
"I push them into the ground at my wife's grave," he said.
Prosecutors want Hasan to join just five other U.S. service members currently on military death row. That would require a unanimous decision by the jury of 13 military officers, and prosecutors must prove an aggravating factor and present evidence to show the severity of Hasan's crimes.

6. The Hall Farm
EVIDENTLY that gate is never opened, for the long grass and the great
hemlocks grow close against it, and if it were opened, it is so rusty that the force
necessary to turn it on its hinges would be likely to pull down the square stone-
built pillars, to the detriment of the two stone lionesses which grin with a doubtful
carnivorous affability above a coat of arms surmounting each of the pillars. It
would be easy enough, by the aid of the nicks in the stone pillars, to climb over
the brick wall with its smooth stone coping; but by putting our eyes close to the
rusty bars of the gate, we can see the house well enough, and all but the very
corners of the grassy enclosure.
It is a very fine old place, of red brick, softened by a pale powdery lichen, which
has dispersed itself with happy irregularity, so as to bring the red brick into terms
of friendly companionship with the limestone ornaments surrounding the three
gables, the windows, and the door-place. But the windows are patched with
wooden panes, and the door, I think, is like the gate--it is never opened. How it
would groan and grate against the stone fioor if it were! For it is a solid, heavy,
handsome door, and must once have been in the habit of shutting with a
sonorous bang behind a liveried lackey, who had just seen his master and
mistress off the grounds in a carriage and pair.
But at present one might fancy the house in the early stage of a chancery suit,
and that the fruit from that grand double row of walnut-trees on the right hand of
the enclosure would fall and rot among the grass, if it were not that we heard the
booming bark of dogs echoing from great buildings at the back. And now the half-
weaned calves that have been sheltering themselves in a gorse- built hovel
against the left-hand wall come out and set up a silly answer to that terrible bark,
doubtless supposing that it has reference to buckets of milk.
Yes, the house must be inhabited, and we will see by whom; for imagination is a
licensed trespasser: it has no fear of dogs, but may climb over walls and peep in
at windows with impunity. Put your face to one of the glass panes in the right-
hand window: what do you see? A large open fireplace, with rusty dogs in it, and
a bare boarded floor; at the far end, fleeces of wool stacked up; in the middle of
the floor, some empty corn-bags. That is the furniture of the dining-room. And
what through the left-hand window? Several clothes-horses, a pillion, a spinning-
wheel, and an old box wide open and stuffed full of coloured rags. At the edge of
this box there lies a great wooden doll, which, so far as mutilation is concerned,
bears a strong resemblance to the finest Greek sculpture, and especially in the
total loss of its nose. Near it there is a little chair, and the butt end of a boy's
leather long-lashed whip.

Citation: Banuelos, G.S., Sharmasarkar, S., Cone, D., Stuhr, G. 2003. Vegetative approach for improving the quality of water produced from soils in the westside of central california.. Plant and Soil Journal.Vol (249): 229-236 Interpretive Summary: Expansion of agricultural production will become increasingly dependent upon expanding new supplies for irrigation. Water availability could be enhanced through the judicious and proper use of saline drainage water. Drainage water produced in the San Joaquin Valley, CA can contain unusually high levels of B, Se, and salinity. When using water of this quality for irrigation, the long-term accumulation of B and Se in the soil must be seriously considered for agronomic and ecotoxicological reasons. A field study was established to evaluate both plant growth and trace element accumulation in a forage legume and grass irrigated with a B/Se-laden effluent. After two years of irrigation with the drainage effluent, annual yields of both species averaged 11 metric tons per hectare, while plant Se levels were considered safe enough to utilize both forage species in animal feed rations. Water extractable levels of Se did not increase in soil to a depth of 90 cm, however, soil salinity and water extractable B levels increased. Increased salinity and B levels in the soil indicate that management of soil salinity and B will be necessary over time to sustain long-term reuse with poor quality water on these two potential forage species.
Technical Abstract: Water reuse is a proposed strategy for utilizing or disposing of poor quality drainage water produced in the westside of central California. This two-year field study evaluated the ability of two potential forage species to tolerate irrigation with water high in salinity, boron (B), and selenium (Se). The species used were: Sporobolus airoides var. salado (alkali sacaton) and Medicago sativa var. salado (alfalfa). Both species were furrow-irrigated with drainage effluent that had an average composition of sulfate-dominated salinity [(electrical conductivity (EC) of 6.2 dS m-1)] B (5 mg L-1) and Se (0.245 mg L-1). Annual dry mater yields averaged between 11 and 12 Mg ha-1 for both crops irrigated with effluent for two growing seasons. Plant concentrations of Se ranged from a low of 1.3 mg kg-1 in alkali sacaton to a high of 2.5 mg kg-1 in alfalfa, while B concentrations ranged from a low of 60 mg kg-1 in alkali sacaton to a high of 170 mg kg-1 in alfalfa. Chemical composition of the soil changed as follows from preplant to post-irrigation after two seasons with drainage effluent: EC from 2.78 to 6.5 dS m-1, extractable B from 1.9 to 5.6 mg L-1, and no change in extractable Se at 0.012 mg L-1 between 0-45 cm. Between 45-90 cm, EC values increased from 4.95 to 6.79 dS m-1, extractable B from 2.5 t0 4.8 mg L-1, and no change in extractable Se at 0.015 mg L-1. Increased salinity and extractable B levels in the soil indicate that management of soil salinity and B will be necessary over time to sustain long term reuse with poor quality water.

HELP APPRECIATED!! Vaulting our ceiling - HIP roof, not clear to me!
6 Attachment(s)
Hello helpful and knowledgeable DIY people! Please read on.
We reeeally want to vault at least in our living room. We are also taking out a wall that is load bearing. We understand the need for a header where we take out the wall. The confusing parts for me come with our beams in the attic. Please take a look at these pics. The first is taken from the attic entry, which is pretty much the center of the house. The house is 1942, small (1000sft), hip design. The hallway goes down the center from front to back, covering I'd say the middle third of the house (as in room in front, room in rear). We know at least part of that wall is load bearing - That's where you see the kickers come down to. The room we especially want to vault is straight ahead and to the right in pic.1. I like the horizontal "roof tie" beam (I'm guessing :thumbup:). I want rid of the kickers and ceiling joists! If someone with knowledge could PLEEEEASE share with me I will be forever grateful! I have seen so many pictures of roof/truss designs including a typical hip. Our's looks different even to that! I know our ridge is skinny so it is not supporting much. Can anyone shed light on what we need to do to strengthen the structure enough to remove the kickers and ceiling joists?
Thank you so much for your help
You are correct, your ridge is a ridge board, which is not a structural element. The roof rafters are supported by the outer walls, and are tied together by the floor beams. The kickers provide extra support to the rafters by making the setup similar to a truss.
There are several ways to vault the ceiling, none of them particularly easy to do, likely not a DIY project unless you have significant framing experience. One way is to replace the rafters and kickers with a roof truss, a scissors truss is commonly used. Another option is to replace the ridge board with a ridge beam, which is a structural element that supports the rafters at the top. The ridge beam needs to be properly sized and adequately supported, typically at either end, sometimes with an extra post or two between the ends.
Either of these options requires serious framing, but they both have the advantage of allowing you to eliminate the floor beams and the kickers. You may want to consult an architect, an engineer, or an experienced framer about which method works best in your specific case. A lot has to do with your budget and ability to remove the roof to allow the work to be done.
Thank you Daniel! Really appreciate the help.
Wow! Do I need to remove the roof for all of the options listed?
I might sway towards the cheaper or easier option whichever that would be.
Is it possible to add layers to the current ridge board to make it a beam or will we have to open the roof, remove the board and replace with a whole new beam?
I actually prefer to see some structure exposed even including the odd beam at ceiling joist height. Just not so many that it feels like the ceiling is still in place!
Can you hint at what might be my best option?
Hint: The kickers are supporting a weak rafter system that is sagging because they are spaced too far apart on centers and probaly have too long of a span on them to be 2 x 6's....
So, basically you already have roof structure problems that need to be addressed and to try to "modify" your design conception within the existing rafter system, will be problematic. Time for a pros "on site" inspection and advice. good luck. jmo
Why did you steal the photos of my attic?
Just kidding...but that really does look like mine.
Mine also has the kickers....installed when they did the house in 52....that is what happens when they do 2x4's on 24" OC.....
First off....expect the roof rafters needing to be sistered with at least 2x6 if not 2x8's.
Like Daniel said....not exactly a DIY project....though, we did vault the ceiling in our galley kitchen....which in our case was easy....the inside wall was load bearing so we just took it all the way up to the rafters....the ceiling joists in the kitchen were only there to hold up the drywall....but that was our kitchen....a main room is a different matter.....
Time to call in an expert. Me being the ultimate DIY'er would not even attempt it without detailed instructions from an expert.
There is no practical way to sister the ridge board to make it a ridge beam. Any realistic ridge beam is going to be a serious structural element, likely an LVL or a glulam. Plus you need to support it, so that means posts going down to the lowest level on a footing. Serious work. Once the ridge beam is in place, the rafters must be attached using special brackets at the top and at the wall, so in most cases this means removing the existing rafters and ceiling.
I suppose you could conceivably shoehorn a ridge beam in place, never seen it done that way, more work than it is worth, and the existing rafters may not be adequate anyway, as noted by other posters. Use of scissors trusses is a common, good technique, but again you are going to need to remove the roof and rafters to place the trusses.
I don't know of any real alternative to removing the roof, getting down to the walls, and framing above. Trusses are usually placed with a crane, but can be placed with a Genie lift or similar. A ridge beam usually needs a crane, certainly it is the easiest way to place a large, heavy beam.
I don't mean to discourage you, but if you do not have some serious DIY framing experience, this is a tough project to start on.
Allow me to illustrate what Daniel is talking about....
I'm in the middle (ok, maybe over half way) of a 2-story addition to my house. The upstairs is basically an 18'x33' area...1/2 is bedroom...other half bathroom/walk in closet....Vaulted ceiling in both areas......
This is what my ridge beam looks like....it's a 5 1/4" x 11 1/4" PSL beam....actually...2 beams...supported in the middle....with 2x8's for the roof rafters.
Yea....this is what it might take to vault your ceiling....
It seems that one of the issues with vaulting a hip roof is where the hip ridges come up from the walls and meet the main ridge. If the main ridge is upgraded to support the vaulted ceiling and the current ceiling joists taken out the bearing points for the new fortified ridge is needed to be located in the area that is to be vaulted, out in the middle of the room in most cases.
Because your ridge board is just plywood/particle board, it would not support a retrofit ridge beam anyway: http://www.apexhomeinspections.biz/a...guidelines.pdf
Your pitch is very low, may require beams as valley, hips and ridge; http://publicecodes.citation.com/ico...?bu2=undefined
Notice the purlins used because of your under-sized rafters. Your sheathing is the original 1x boards and wood shingles. Will want to add structural sheathing and remove the wood shingles at next re-roof if using asphalt shingles: http://publicecodes.citation.com/ico...?bu2=undefined
Hey everyone. Thanks for all of the replies. I'm the husband (of "scottlover") in this equation. I'm curious about one thing that my wife didn't mention. I've already taken a wall down to studs that where we'll be putting a header into place. The kickers are coming down on top of some of those walls. Would it be just as effective to place that header in the attic above the ceiling joists and have the kickers coming down on the attic header instead of a header thats visible below the ceiling joists?
Moving a header up to the attic is more complex than installing a drop down header. You can't support the header on the joists, you need posts that penetrate through the floor down to the lowest point in the house, where the posts are typically supported on concrete footers. If you have a main beam in the basement and it is structurally capable of holding up the posts, you can terminate the posts on the beam using an appropriate bracket.
The header needs to support the joists that run over it, which is easy if the header is below the joists, and can be done with Simpson brackets if the header is flush with the joists, but if the header is above the joists, you need heavy duty support brackets to connect the header to each joist. It can be done, just more difficult than the standard drop down header.
By the way, when you performed the analysis for sizing the header, it is critical that you account for the point loads of the kickers where they meet the header. The loading is very different than the typical uniform loading you get from floor joists spanning over a header.
Hi Guy's! Everyone is so helpful I'm really happy I found this website. GBR those links were really useful. Thank you. Looks like we could hang a "retrofit" ridge beam... is that without needing to remove the roof. Pretty sure it's a real wood 1x something right now. We are in the process of wall knocking still. Turns out that everything we want to knock out is load bearing!! It's basically the end of a hallway that finishes in our main living room/dining room with a hallway width closet. The closet is kind of the "U" at the end. We wanted to knock out the entire "U" (actually a "U" with an underscore.. U_ ...) that separates our kitchen, and living. Currently resembles a large plastered chimney (If you have imagination). I am learning to love this 4ftx3ft blockage but my husband still prefers to knock the whole thing out. We do like open plan.:) Since it's the center of the house kickers are going to all 3 sides of the thing! We have supporting beams in the back of the closet too. We will at least leave a pillar! Anyhow, while opening the portions of wall and doorway even to leave the closet, we have come across a diagonal beam?!? Just wondering if we should acknowledge this as something special? It's above the doorway to kitchen. We wanted to open above and widen to the left also. Looks like the diagonal continues past and down the wall. Your thoughts are greatly appreciated. I might go take some pics of our end wall. It's the back too corners of the closet. We were going to leave a pillar on one side and take out the other putting in a header. See if I get to it.
I sooooo want to vault! Considering even exposing all that is there kickers 'n' all! May be covering the grotty looking current roof with paneling. It's kind of a now or never thing but this wall knocking is taking more brain power than we hoped! It is also a useful closet.
Cheers very much everyone. Oh and ddawg16 your addition looks great! That's our next step. I'll know where to come :)

OK here it is... my file was too big. Also if anyone can suggest header size? Believe it or not we had a structural engineer come over and told us nothing! "oh you might want to put a header here....!!!!" No joke.
Thanks :)

First off, did you hire the structural engineer, or did you have him over for dinner and cocktails? I find it impossible to visualize you hiring an actual structural engineer to perform an analysis of the required size of your header, and he did nothing for the fee. It seems like you are leaving out a critical part of the story, like maybe this individual was not a licensed engineer, maybe you did not have a contract with him, etc.
As for getting someone on the internet to suggest a beam size, I totally do not get the point of that. What possible use are you going to make of an over the internet suggestion about beam size? Build it that way? And if the house falls down, then what? Sizing a header correctly that is going to carry load is about the most critical possible thing you can do in a house, you either get it right, which requires a site visit and careful load evaluation, or you suffer the consequences. Getting suggestion for mission critical sizing over an internet chat forum is a very bad plan.

Fairplain Township mobile home fire ruled arson
FAIRPLAIN TOWNSHIP — A second fire has been ruled an arson on Boyer Road in Fairplain Township about two months after another arson.
Det. Sgt. Trever Slator, a state fire marshal, ruled a second house fire as arson on Friday.
The Sheridan Community Fire Department was dispatched at 10:21 a.m. June 5 to 1736 Boyer Road in Fenwick on the report of a structure fire.
According to Fire Chief Ed Lingeman, no one was home at the time of the fire and no pets were injured.
Last Wednesday's fire was considered "suspicious" because it was the home of the daughter of the DeGrams, who had a house fire on March 29 that was also ruled arson.
The DeGram family lived next door at 1680 Boyer Road and had a fire at their home, following multiple fires at a previous home on Derby Road.
Slater was called in on Friday to investigate the home which sustained a fire that was contained to the bedroom last Wednesday.
"It is being investigated by the Montcalm County Sheriff's Office and also by the Michigan State Police as an arson," Slater said.
Montcalm County Sheriff's Det. Robert McVey said after Slater investigated the scene, he found material relating to the character of an arson.
In March, the DeGrams said they were feeling threatened over a dispute they were having with people from out of town and also received threats. Before the fire, suspicious events had been taking place around the house, the family told The Daily News.
When McVey asked if the arsons were related and if the homeowners had been cleared as suspects, McVey said the situations are still under investigation.
"We haven't cleared anyone yet (as suspects)," McVey said.
A reward of up to $5,000 is being offered for the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the fires at both 1680 and 1736 Boyer roads.
Anyone with information is asked to call the fire marshal's office at (616) 866-6680, Michigan State Police at (989) 352-8444 or Montcalm County Sheriff's Office (989) 831-7590.

Bank shareholders will have to hope that
Announcing a 0.45 of a percentage point mortgage rate increase – within minutes of the Reserve Bank's 0.25 of a percentage point move – was really rubbing politicians' noses in it and putting them under pressure to "do something" about the banks.
It also shifted the political heat of the Reserve Bank's decision away from the government and firmly on to the banks themselves.
The CBA move crystallised the political need for Treasurer
The banks are clearly punting on the presumption that there isn't really a lot government can do to penalise their actions in some way without being seen to move into the realm of reregulation, which is a perilous place to go, as shadow treasurer
But this is a big call in an environment in which both sides of politics have a lot riding on being hairy- chested and the political landscape is uncertain because of the hung parliament.
There are the obvious options, ranging from more action on price signalling through to somehow modifying the government guarantee on the banks.
MPs will tell you it is banks' fees and charges as much as interest rates that really inflame voters, and this must be an area that now comes under pressure.
But the options must also be about not just what you "do" to the banks, but what you do to open up the field to others, whether that is by simply making an even bigger investment in residential mortgage-backed securities, slanting the playing field more in favour of smaller institutions or actively encouraging other institutions into banking.
The coming debate will test both Swan's resolve and the efficacy of Hockey's "nine-point plan" to improve competition in banking.
For now both sides of politics have made the call that the banks are being arrogant and by their actions will now have to look like they are doing something about it.
Hockey, with a continuing campaign among his supporters to rewrite the history of what he said about the banks, was yesterday confident enough to move his attack from the banks to the government.
Hockey said the RBA decision – and the CBA's – showed the government had "lost control of the economy" and that it "owned" the rate increases because it had done nothing about competition. But he has helped establish the case in the public mind that the banks' own decisions are unjust and unwarranted and this has muddied the waters of who is to blame on rates.
Swan argues that some of the steps the government took during the global financial crisis helped ensure that competition in the banking sector would actually be preserved even as many financial institutions around the world were closing their doors.
But Swan nonetheless confronts the reality of domestic banking competition hollowed out by shifting trends in finance, now set against the backdrop of international financial uncertainty.
In trying to ensure the government did not escape some anger over rate rises, the opposition was arguing yesterday that Labor's stimulus spending had added to rate pressures. RBA governor
Stevens put the cause of an expected surge in private sector spending – and inflationary pressures – as the booming terms of trade, a change which he described as a "large expansionary shock".
This shock is the real headache for the government over the next year. The debate about the economy will move on from the stimulus to what to do about this shock.

Burberry Beauty Light Glow Natural Blush in Russet ($42.00 ) is a warm nude bronze with a gentle red undertone. Despite the word 'sheer' in the name, Russet aaplies as a blush that has a medium level of pigmentation when applied with a standard blush brush. Because it is finely milled, more color can be layered on without concern that the blush will become chalky.
Russet is packaged in Burberry's heavy luxe packaging. There is a full sized mirror that is elegantly coated with a whisper of glare-cutting gray.
The brush is a usable size and quality. I tend to use a small brush for Russet, for more precise placement on the cheek. After application, I blend the color to soften the look. I frequently put this in the hollow of my cheek, and top the cheek with a glowy beige highlighter.
The closest blush I own to Burberry Russet is probably Nars Lovejoy, which is deeper brown and more pronouced red. By comparison, Russet has a honey tone and less shimmer than Lovejoy. Overall, I know I will get a lot of use from Burberry Russet. I own several nude-brown blushes, and Russet is probably the warmest of all. If you like this look, others to explore are Chanel Joues Contraste in Mocha (or Tempting Beige) and Bobbi Brown's Bahama Brown Shimmer Blush, which looks sleepy in the pan but comes alive with a rose undertone when applied.
Of course, Russet fits beautifully with the Burberry aesthetic and feel of the line. Those neutral cheeks and eyes really bring out the natural beauty of the woman wearing them.

Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) — Federal authorities have arrested a man they say was plotting to blow up the Federal Reserve building in New York City, just blocks from the World Trade Center site.
Authorities say 21-year-old Quazi Nafis was arrested Wednesday morning after a sting operation that involved the FBI and New York Police Department. The suspect parked a van filled with what he believed were explosives outside the building and tried to detonate it.
But his associates were actually undercover officers who arrested him at the scene – and the bomb was not real.
Federal prosecutors say the man was monitored closely by the FBI in New York and members of the Joint Terrorism Task Force, and the public was never in danger.

Finding Money for a CSA Venture
I am so excited about starting a new business selling bulk vegetables from my large garden. I need some money to buy farm equipment and hire some people. I hope you have some ideas for me. —A.P., Providence Forge, Va.
No wonder you're excited: You have both good timing and a bit of luck on your side.
In terms of timing, what you're proposing (formally called "community-supported agriculture") is all the rage right now, as consumers become increasingly interested in purchasing fresh, local produce farmed sustainably.
As far as luck, the state of Virginia is particularly attuned to this trend and has developed several programs aimed at helping startup businesses like yours, says Linda Burcham, public information officer for the Virginia Cooperative Extension. "We're seeing a lot of interest and this market is hot right now," she says.
Funds-Up-Front Model
The emerging business model for community-supported agriculture involves individuals or families buying "shares" in a local farmer's harvest over the growing season, says Jonah Fogel, community viability specialist for the cooperative extension's northeast district. The grower gets customers' funds up front in exchange for agreeing to deliver a specified amount and type of produce each week or month over so many months. "Somebody might buy a $400 or $500 share and every week they get their delivery or they pick up their food at a specific location," Fogel says.
The farmer gets cash early to help fund expenses, and then during the season can concentrate on growing and delivering product, rather than billing customers and collecting money. "It takes the uncertainty out of the business cycle," Fogel notes.
Like any startup, you should have a business plan that helps you determine revenues, expenses, and pricing this first year and projects out where you'd like to take the business over the next few years. You'll also want to establish some kind of business entity, investigate state regulations governing food sales to the public, find out who your direct competitors are, come up with a marketing plan, and perhaps explore alternative business models.
For instance, Fogel says, some growers concentrate on artisan produce or niche products that they sell at farmers' markets. "This model drives high-value products and tends to result in high-level return on investment, so we're seeing a lot of this right now," he says. A "pick-your-own" model—where city dwellers or suburbanites travel to your property and harvest their own fruits and veggies—is another alternative.
Startup Resources to Consider
