Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 20/5/2014 (1134 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A Manitoba developer is suing the City of Brandon and a former city employee for more than $24 million over what he claims were actions of "bad faith" and defamation of character in connection to the Oakridge Estates development.
In a statement of claim made to Court of Queen's Bench last November, Barry Andrews, president of Executive Homes 2000 Ltd., alleges that in April 2009, Brandon's former construction and planning manager Gary Kaluzniak made "untrue" and "defamatory" statements regarding Andrews to an Alberta resident who had just been hired by Executive Homes as a building superintendent at the Oakridge Estates site.
He also alleges the city has refused to recognize the May, 2012 sale of the partially-completed development to Brandon-based Waverly Developments — which is also named as a defendant in the claim — and that the city demanded special requirements of the development that went against standard procedure.
Executive Homes received approval to develop Oakridge Estates, a 61-acre parcel of land off 18th Street North on Bell Avenue, from the city in 2009.
The $4-million development was to include a mix of starter and luxury homes, along with seniors' housing and commercial business.
The development was approved on the condition the company sign an agreement requiring Executive to provide a two-year warranty for above ground and underground improvements. The company would be released from the warranty and other obligations upon a successful final inspection of the site, and the remediation of any defects or failures that were found.
Phase 1 of the project offered 69 residential lots for construction of higher-end homes and a 55-plus seniors housing complex, while the second phase would see the rest of the land available for starter homes and highway businesses.
Though Executive had completed "significant construction" of 34 residential lots under Phase 1, Andrews agreed to sell the development to Waverly Developments for $3.1 million on March 17, 2012, with a possession date of May 1, 2012.
But according to the development agreement, the city had to give consent to the sale of the development, which Andrews says has not been done. He said in an interview Tuesday this means Executive Homes is still responsible for at least two outstanding issues on the site that came out of the warranty period and the final inspection of the site that took place on Sept. 24, 2013.
However, the city has allowed Waverly to continue developing the property. The Sun reported earlier this month that city council approved a subdivision request for land at 1910 Bell Ave., subject to Waverly signing a development agreement, among other details.
Andrews told the Sun yesterday that the city is still holding the $200,000 Irrevocable Letter of Credit that Executive gave when site development began.
"They still hold my bond," Andrews said. "They have my $200,000 bond, Waverly is working under it. Waverly doesn't have to put it up anymore, because they're working under my bond of $200,000."
According to Andrews, the city also demanded that his company file separate zoning and subdivision applications. He contends synchronized zoning and subdivision applications are standard practice. He also alleges the city demanded a traffic study for the site, which he says is not standard practice.
The defamation allegation against the city stems from a conversation between Alberta resident Roy Begin, who was hired by Executive as site superintendent in April 2009, and Kaluzniak.
Andrews claims that while Begin was en route from Calgary to Winnipeg to begin his new job, he received a call from Kaluzniak, who said he "should be worried about getting paid."
As a result, Andrews says some of his company employees refused to work without advance payment, members of the local business community and suppliers refused to provide credit to Executive, and potential employees were scared off.
Andrews' allegations have not been proven in court.
In its statement of defence, the city denies and claims "no knowledge" of Andrews' accusations, and states that Andrews' statement is "an abuse of process."
The city states that administration was not officially told of the sale of the development to Waverly, and only found out about the sale on March 27, 2012. In a May 2 advisement, the city said it was not prepared to approve the sale until it had time to consider the situation.
In September of that year, the city drafted an amendment to the development agreement that was supposed to end the impasse, but Andrews refused to sign.
While the city denies Kaluzniak made the alleged defamatory statement to Begin, it admits Brandon is "vicariously liable" for its employee's actions within the scope of his employment. Kaluzniak retired from his position in 2010.
Brandon city manager Scott Hildebrand told the Sun he wasn't in a position to comment on a case before the courts.
"We'll do what we need to do from a legal standpoint," Hildebrand said yesterday. "We've communicated with our lawyer today. We have communicated to Mr. Andrews. And other than that I can't really comment on the legal side of it."
In a separate statement of defence, Waverley Developments denied it is liable to reimburse Executive for any amount.
When reached Tuesday, Waverley owner John Burgess said that the issues that affect his company are "very minor."
"Obviously I can't comment on the merits of the claim, but the dispute rests mainly with the city, and the City of Brandon's former employee. We just kinda got caught up in it, with the handover.
"As far as I'm concerned nothing really material is in dispute between Waverly and Executive."
As of Tuesday, no court date had been set.

Reviews of Lake Mary Health and Rehabilitation Center
Ladye February 26, 2016
I am/was a resident of this facility
While I have only resided in this facility one week, I have seen the most professional and caring nurses and CNAs in three different facilities. Nurses who speak with authority and yet, have very caring personalities. CNAs who would give more loving attention if they only had time. When staff and patients work together with patience and understanding, then everyone is happier. My stay is very enjoyable and I have been treated well.

Please don't go here, not enough staff, my father fell twice the first night, he was there for rehabilitation, and had alzehehimers, needless to say he died 3 days later

We chose Lake Mary Health and Rehab for my father-in-law. He was just in there for the rehab program. It was an excellent facility and clean. The folks were very courteous. The food was good. The attention to detail and the attention that the nurses and the physical therapy gave him were excellent. I would absolutely recommend them.

Lake Mary Health and Rehabilitation Center is where we had a lot of problems. Individually, the staff that they hired was all exceptionally professional -- the therapists did great therapy work, the nurses did great nursing work -- but the teamwork and the communication can undermine that so often. The social worker who was trying to help us was in tears more than once because she worked so hard to get things done, and then it all fell apart because of that poor communication. They had an interior garden -- which was really nice -- and a little butterfly garden -- which was part of the therapy area -- and my parents really loved going out and just sitting in their wheelchairs in the garden area on nice days. They had a big dining room and a big activity room, and the facilities were pretty clean, but not well managed. My father had hearing aids, for example, and we lost his pair of hearing aids three times in the short time that they were there. The staff would come in and help my dad get to the bathroom, but they wouldn't bother checking to see that his hearing aid fell out because that wasn't their job, and then the cleaning staff would come in and clean it up and put it on the nurses' station, but they wouldn't tell the nurses it was there or who it belonged to.

Lake Mary is a great place, very clean, friendly staff. The staff's work ethics is very good. The rooms are nice. They do exercise, they have a library there. They have a staff that is attentive.

The hospital where my husband was at placed him in rehab at Lake Mary. He's getting therapy there. The facility is fair and actually very clean. I find the staff quite fine, but food isn't very good.

Rep. Ron Kind (D-WI) today with a bipartisan group of his colleagues sent a letter to House Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson and Ranking Member Frank Lucas encouraging the committee to move forward with the reauthorization of the farm bill in 2011.
Dear Chairman Peterson and Ranking Member Lucas:
As the House committee on Agriculture considers its legislative plan for the 112th Congress, we are writing to encourage the Committee to move forward with the reauthorization of the farm bill in 2011. While the public statements have indicated that the committee is likely to delay legislative action until 2012, the ongoing Brazilian cotton dispute and the widespread recognition of inefficient and wasteful spending within farm programs make it clear that this delay will come at a great cost to the American people.
Every year that Congress fails to reform its outdated cotton programs, American taxpayers are forced to pay $147.3 million in "technical assistance" to Brazilian agribusiness. In December 2009, the World Trade Organization found that the GSM-102 Export Credit Guarantee Program serves as an illegal export subsidy and that support prices for the marketing loan program benefits and counter-cyclical program payments have distorted the marketplace and lowered market prices. Not only would making sensible reforms of these programs eliminate the need to subsidize Brazilian cotton producers by half a billion dollars, it could also save taxpayers an additional $2 billion per year.
Financial pressures to act on the deficit have increased focus on wasteful spending across the government. Every serious study of how to reduce the deficit includes proposals to save billions of dollars from agricultural subsidies. Recently, the President's National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform released the Chairmen's mark, which included a reduction in farm payments by $3 billion per year for the next ten years. The Center for American Progress's "A Thousand Cuts" report laid out a series of options that would reduce direct subsidies between 50%-75%, saving taxpayers $7-$11 billion by 2015. The CATO Institute's "Downsizing Government" project calls for an annual $30 billion cut in farm programs. The Brookings Institute's Bill Galston and New American Foundation's Maya MacGuineas cut farm subsidies as part of their "The Future is Now" plan. The Bipartisan Policy Center's Debt Reduction Task Force's "Restoring America's Future" report includes substantial cuts to direct payments and crop insurance, while limiting the growth in conservation programs, for a total of $29 billion cut by 2020.
The costs of delaying action on the reauthorization of the farm bill have a direct impact on our deficits and cannot be ignored. As the Committee puts off action, it continues to force American taxpayers to subsidize American agribusiness and Brazilian cotton farmers, while it ignores key reforms that could save taxpayers billions of dollars. Furthermore, many Congressional analysts consider it unlikely that Congress would pass a farm bill in 2012, as legislative action would coincide with an ongoing presidential election. By not completing the reauthorization in 2011, Congress is increasing the likelihood that it is unable to pass the farm bill in the 112th Congress. We urge you to move forward and immediately begin making the necessary reforms to improve the effectiveness of our farm programs to ensure taxpayer dollars are being used appropriately.

'Interrupting' Chicago's Gang Violence
In 2010, 66 children died of gunfire in Chicago, and hundreds more were injured. Staggering statistics like this show that gang violence in the Windy City has grown out of control. CeaseFire, a community organization with a public-health approach, tries to lead Chicago's youth away from a life of crime. To do that, the group employs "interrupters," former gang members who actually go to the scene of a conflict and try to resolve it in a non-violent way. And it's all chronicled in a recent documentary film called "The Interrupters."
Ameena Matthews is an "interrupter" with the Chicago-based group CeaseFire. Alex Kotlowitz co-produced the film. "The Interrupters" will premiere on Feb 14 on "Frontline" and is a co-production of our partner WGBH.

The Girls
'It makes you laugh, it makes you cry, and then it makes you cheer' – The Times
It's Calendar Girls – with songs!
This great new musical comedy about a group of ladies who do the unthinkable for charity is the result of a collaboration between two long–time friends who grew up in Frodsham, Cheshire (where Daniel Craig's dad ran the local pub). One of them is Tim Firth, celebrated playwright, screen and songwriter and author of Calendar Girls and Kinky Boots. The other is Gary Barlow, of X Factor and Take That, and winner of the Ivor Novello award.
The Girls premiered at Leeds Grand Theatre, then moved to The Lowry in Manchester in January 2016. It ran for 60 sell–out performances, earning a total of 60 standing ovations. Where do you go with a track record like that? The West End of course. The Girls is now open at the Phoenix Theatre and you can book your tickets here.

A new social network site available only for under-18s,Yoursphere.co.uk, has commissoned a research paper on parental supervision of children online.
Evidence from this Virtual Parenting Report supports the need for more parental supervision for children online.
It suggests that parents should treat their children's online safety as having the same risks as offline safety. There appears to be a false sense of security in parents feeling that their children are less at risk because they are using the Internet whilst in the safety of the family home.

Please excuse me if this post is not in the right place. I wasn't sure where to put it.
Interesting article on the Op Ed page of the New York Times.
If the the population is armed, there is more of a chance of us Americans defending ourselves against this kind of threat. With this possibility we have to start thinking that the "Well regulated militia", is us . . . those of us that choose to "bear arms".
Just a thought. :usa1:

A gsd noob with a puppy in need of help/support/advice
Hi everyone. This will probably be a long message, but I thought the more information available the better, and if you can hang on in with me until the end and offer some help, it would be so, so appreciated.
I live with my boyfriend in a decent sized apartment in a rural village. In December last year the opportunity to foster a five month GSD puppy presented itself, and my boyfriend was super keen (he's always wanted one).
I was unsure. We have both talked about one day getting a dog but wasn't sure we had the space for such a large breed. I asked a few customers from work who I knew had GSDs and they all agreed that as long as the dog was given adequate attention, time and exercise, space wasn't really an issue.
So fast forward and Ode is dropped on us at five months old and a little disorientated. I realise this is not the ideal circumstances to obtain a dog, but I rolled up my sleeves and was determined to try and make the whole thing work.
I was amazed at how quickly he settled into our routine. I work 9 - 6 Tuesday to Saturday every week, but my boyfriend works strange shift patterns and is often home all day, so Ode is very rarely alone. After reading up alot, we quickly established a strict daily routine with him - meal times, play times and walkies are all at very regimented times in the day.
We also employ NILIF and have made sure he has all basic manners - he sits and waits by his food bowl until we allow him to eat, he waits while we cross the front door threshold first, he walks to heel on lead, he doesn't sleep in the same room/bed as us etc. He is currently 8 months old (we have had him three months) but we are starting to lose our minds. WE NEED HELP.
First off - his good points;
He is blazingly clever and quick to learn (when he thinks it's worth his while). We have taught him a number of tricks and useless little movements, just as a way of bonding with him and engaging him in a fun way.
He can be left alone for quite a few hours and he is completely chilled out and relaxed about the whole thing. He doesn't get anxiety from separation, and when we return home we just have a very happy puppy waiting to greet us - no destruction!
He is very affectionate and people-friendly. Loves cuddles and kisses and being made a fuss of.
His bad points (and why I'm here);
Walking him is the most stressful point of our day. Our life REVOLVES around his walks. He gets an on-lead walk around the village in the morning (as we are in an apartment this is his chance to go to the toilet), an hour and a half of on/off lead in a field playing fetch or forest hike in the afternoon, and then another walk on lead around the village at night (again, for toileting purposes). He is generally very alert when outside - any noises or movement and he's immediately watching and ready for action. This is fine... Until there is another dog.
When there is another dog he goes crazy. Barking, lunging, growling, snarling... The lot. Despite this, he is not aggressive in any way. When he actually comes face to face with another dog off-lead he just invites to play (play bowing, occasional barking) and loves chasing them round or wrestling. But walking past others when he's on his lead and he looks like he wants to rip someone's throat out. It unnerves all the labradoodle walkers I can tell you!
Same if he sees another dog and is off-lead. Ode will go temporarily deaf and just bolt away toward them. Tbh since he hit around the 7 month mark he has become much naughtier, and his recall has dropped considerably. This has led to us putting him on a 30ft training lead at all times. It isn't ideal, but we don't want him pestering other dogs that don't want to be pestered.
I wake up in the morning and DREAD having to walk him - either off or on lead. Inside the home he is the perfect dog... But outside, he is a nightmare. We realise that as we don't know his former home, his socialisation may have been inadequate. In order to combat this we walk him through the town centre, through dog parks, through forest hikes... We have enrolled him in dog daycare where he gets to meet dogs of all shapes and sizes for an entire day once a week (and the staff there say he is amazing) and I booked him in for a training session with a professional to conquer his lead manners.
He was MUCH better in the lesson (we had the lesson in the car park of a dog park near us, so there were dogs being unloaded from cars every so often as a distraction), and we learnt a few techniques for trying to make him ignore the other dogs walking around him... Although it's a comfort for us to have it as a crutch, his behaviour doesn't seem to be getting any better.
My boyfriend confessed to me today he feels like he is reaching the end of his tether. We wanted a dog we could take on hiking trails off-lead and happily meet other dogs... But right now we are both knackered with shot nerves trying to keep him under control.
Is the general naughtiness and the fact that his recall has all but disappeared the dreaded adolescence phase? Or are we doing something wrong? What else can we do to help teach Ode to straight up ignore other dogs?
I just need some support guys. I'm so tired and ill with it all. I've never known a reactive dog before, and to be honest, it's terrifying.

I have utilized Jeff in various capacities. Jeff's knowledge of the law as it pertains to labor issues (for both employer and emlpoyee issues) combined with his unrelenting committment to his clients is reflective in his outstanding results both in and out of the courtroom. You will not find a better attorney in their field.
Posted by Russ
Jeff represented me in a case involving the purchase of a defective piece of equipment. Evidently Jeff presented such a strong case in my favor that the defendent decided to settle during jury deliberation. We later found out from talking to jurors that the settlement amount I received far exceeded the amount the jury was prepared to offer.

Jaff Daxe was able to guide me through a very difficult situation stemming from harrassment in the workplace. His expertise in employment law was exactly what I needed. Jeff took a very personal interest in my situation at a time when I was isolated from my support system, namely my co-workers. The outcome was extremely positive, which also gave me the confidence to proceed with my career. You are not alone with Jeff on your team!
Posted by Phyllis
I have personally had two occasions to seek Attorney Jeff Daxe's assistance and feel I gained the best possible outcome in each instance. While Jeff's knowledge of the law is thorough and 'right on', his remarkable ability to place himself in my shoes and in my workplace is what makes him such a valuable person to have on your side. When dealing with problems in the workplace, what is most frustrating to me is what I can't see--that is, what is being perceived on the 'other side'. Jeff is able to reassure me by giving me the most likely scenario of the opposing team. He has also been able to quickly identify what is most important to me--and then helps me to reach that destination swiftly. I would highly recommend Jeff Daxe to anyone trying to make their way through today's 'mine field' of problems in the workplace.

Class D amplifier
I would like to create a class D amplifier which have to work between 5 and 12V. The PWM signal will be generated by a ST7 micro-controller. The class D amplifier will be connected to a 4 ohms loudspeaker. I know how a class D works , but I do not know how to calculate the different values of the Low Pass Filter components, if I have to use a half bridge or full bridge ...and so on. My problem is that I don't know how to choose the components of the sytem(MOSFET ...)
Thank you very much for your help and advice.
hi Cisco
there are some problems for that:
1 - single supply voltage between 5 and 12V is a bit low for MosFET, I suggest normal bipolar transistors (a simple H-bridge driven by the ST7 could do the work)
1a - for such low voltage, I suggest full bridge tipology (greater output power)
2 - we don't know the oscillator frequency (for output LPF calculation)
3 - we don't know the output bandwidth required (for output LPF calculation)
Hello Fabio,
Thanks for your reply.
The oscillator frequency is 1MHz.
At the end of the system, we want to rebuild the signal so it is a low frequency signal from 20HZ to 18 KHZ.
Would it be possible to have advice about the way of calculating the values of the components or schematics to help me ?
Thanks a lot in advance.
are you running the output frequency at 1MHz or is that the operating frequency of the ST7?
1MHZ is the operating frequency of the ST7 (frequency of the intern oscillator).
Here is what I have understood of the system I have to create:
A PWM signal is generated by the ST7 at a frequency I have chosen. This signal enters a class D amplifier which is supplied by a voltage which ranges from 0 to 12 V. I know that I have to use a Low Pass Filter in order to withdraw the high frequencies generated by the frequency which I have chosen to do the sample in the ST7.
So the output frequency has to be the same as the input signal as I would like to do an audio class D amplifier. I mean first, my input signal will go in an Automatic Gain Control, then the signal will go in the ST7 in order to have the PWM and at the end, the signal will go in the class D amplifier so as to rebuild the input signal.
Thank you very much for your help and advice.
The ST7 you are using might be unsuitable for a full audio spectrum class D amp depending on if you have one with a 32MHz clock for the timers. If the ST7 uses the main oscillator as it's clock source and the timers are 8 Bit, it will have 256 distinct points to represent the duty cycle, meaning to get your full 256 points you will get a max PWM frequency of 3.906KHz (1MHz/256). I don't know of too many class D amps that run at that low of a frequency, but you might be able to make a sub amp with very low frequency output, but your output filter will be very large with a 4 ohm load. In order to get a good full range reproduction of the audible band you should have a PWM frequency of >150KHz, at least in my experience. In order to get a full 8 bit modulation, with a 150KHz PWM frequency you will need a micro with a timer clocked by a 38.4MHz or faster clock. If you do have one of the ST7's that have the timers clocked with a 32MHz clock, this would allow you to have a PWM output frequency of 150KHz with just under 8bit accuracy(211 duty cycle points) or you could do full 8 bit accuracy (256 duty cycle points) at 125KHz.

Founder, Program Director & Music Teacher, Juneau, Alaska Music Matters
Juneau, Alaska
Lorrie Heagy is a music teacher and director of Juneau, Alaska Music Matters (JAMM), an El Sistema-inspired program that provides string instruction for over 500 students in Juneau, Alaska. She has twenty years experience in the classroom and has provided teacher training for El Sistema initiatives nationwide in early childhood practices, brain-based learning and student engagement. In 2015, Lorrie helped launch a Secondary Education Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) with a K-12 music certificate through the University of Alaska Southeast, whereby musicians conduct their internships in JAMM schools and music classrooms in the District and perform in the Juneau Symphony.
Before entering the Sistema Fellowship, Lorrie was one of 50 teachers selected nationally as a Yale School of Music Distinguished Music Educator. The arts programs that Lorrie helped initiate at Glacier Valley earned the school the Kennedy Center's Creative Ticket National School of Distinction Award, an honor given to five schools across the country each year. After completing the Sistema Fellowship, Lorrie received the 2011 Alaska Teacher of the Year award. Lorrie is a pianist and enjoys accompanying for arts organizations in Juneau.
Juneau Alaska Music Matters (JAMM) is an El Sistema-inspired program, which has hosted over twenty El Sistema teachers from other sites worldwide over the last six years. It was the featured cover story of the October 2014 issue of Teaching Music and in three episodes of the PBS/Annenberg Learner Professional Series called The Power of Music: P-5 Teaching Inspired by El Sistema.
JAMM's success absolutely relies on school and community partnerships, with the Juneau Symphony serving as its primary partner. JAMM also is a school readiness program that uses music to develop focus, self-control, teamwork, and the understanding that it takes effort to accomplish great things. This El Sistema-inspired music program uses the social experience of the orchestra and ensemble to inspire and motivate young children, especially those who could not otherwise afford it. The community funds instruments and specialized musical training, while the Juneau School District provides space and time during the school day for both school music teacher and kindergarten teachers to work alongside local string instructors. By leveraging existing resources and capitalizing on shared goals, JAMM helps the school district reach its goals of access and equity, student success, and community engagement.

McHENRY – "I love this dress so much," Malissa Pagan, 25, of Chicago said while looking at herself in a full-length mirror.
"I always said if it makes me cry, it's the one."
The wedding gown Pagan was wearing must have been "the one."
"It's perfect," she said, tears rolling down her face.
Kathryn's Bridal, 3807 W. Elm St., McHenry, gave away eight wedding gowns Wednesday to military brides.
Owner Kathryn Trocki said this is the second year the McHenry shop has been involved in Operation Wedding Gown, which is held in partnership with the nationwide organization Brides Across America.
Pagan said her fiancé, Pedro Navarro, 24, of Chicago was discharged from the Marines in 2010 after two tours of duty. They have set a May 23, 2013, wedding date.
"it's hard for military people to find a job now," she said. "Weddings are so expensive. It's a blessing to have this opportunity,"
Pagan said she has a full-time job, but Navarro only works part time. He was hit while walking by a car driven by a drunken driver shortly after his discharge and is partially disabled with a titanium knee.
"It's a big relief to know he's appreciated," Pagan said.
Trocki said there were more than 200 dresses available for the brides-to-be Wednesday, ranging in size from 6 to 26 from designers such as Enzoani, Jasmine and Maggie Sottero.
Price tags reached a high of $2,500, but price really isn't a factor, Trocki said.
"The brides don't even look at the cost," Trocki said. "They are so darn thankful that they are finding something that they love.
"The brides and their families are so incredibly thankful."
Lisa Grzeszczak, 23, of Fox Lake said she was "looking for my dream dress" in the McHenry shop. Her fiancé, Marine Cpl. Kevin Long, 22, of Fox Lake is currently stationed in Japan. They are planning a Jan. 1, 2013, wedding.
"It's very exciting. It's hard to decide which one," she said of the gown selection.
Lindsey Krygsheld, 20, of Crete, traveled to McHenry with her mother, Darcy, and her future mother-in-law, Julie Smit of Munster, Ind.

Wishing You A...
It's a sunny Sunday around here this morning. Of course that can change in a split second. That's just how it is in the sunshine state during summer...and the rest of the year. The weather is quite unpredictable.
Anyway, our weekend has been uneventful so far. It's quiet in the work front and we're taking it easy on the home front. I just got off the phone with a friend who's visiting a sister in the West coast. It's great to talk with her for long period of time and get caught up with what's happening with our respective lives.
Oh...and I also became a grandmother for the 3rd time courtesy of another niece. Actually, hubby said I'm a great-aunt. Not quite sure which is better...grandmother 0r great-aunt. The word 'great' just makes it sound like I'm ancient...which I am....almost anyway. I haven't seen any of my 'grandchildren' but I'm hoping to see them sooner or later.
That's about it. I stll have a few tasks to finish so I better get on those before they get washed away....

Garage ceiling has 2X4 joists-will it hold?
My garage was built on to the house in 1970. It is 20 x 22 feet. The walls are 9 feet high and made of 2x4's. There is a rear door and a 18 foot wide garage door. The ceiling and roof rafters run the 22 foot lenght of the garage.
The roof is of average pitch-not too steep, framed with 2x6,s. The ceiling is framed with 2x4,s that are nailed together at the center. My guess is that they took 2 14 footers and nailed them together. Each side of the "A" of the roof has a 1/2 inch thick by 8 inch wide by approximately 4 foot long piece of plywood nailed to each roof rafter and extends down to the corresponding ceiling joist where it is nailed. I live in the northeast. This structure has seen snow load, and has remained okay for 30 or so years. It has NO drywall on it. I want to drywall it and insulate it with 1/2".
Will this hold??
I think the guy that built it was a cheapskate that did not know what he was doing?
I would appreciate any advice
Can I do anything to the structure up above to strengthen it, or is it fine?
Your fine for hanging drywall, the 2x4 ceiling joists are there to keep the walls from falling away from the weight of roof load. If your concerned double them up.
i dont think it will be fine. i see you already have some sort of hangers, but it doesnt sound like enough. not for my own garage anyway. the 2x4s are going to sag from the weight of the sheetrock. dont even think about putting storage on top of a 22' span of 2x4s either. if it is only going to hang a sheetrock cieling, i think you can run hangers from your roof framing. i would put a hanger every 4', maybe even mount them so you are trianglating and creating a truss like system, and cats every 4' between the 2x4s. what are you going to have 12 4x10 sheets? its a lot of wieght, even thought it is spread out. what are the centers on the 2x4s?
centers are 16" on 2 x 4's
I was thinking of adding some eye hooks and aircraft cable here and there going up to the roof rafters for extra support-actually every other 2x4 to rafter 2x6 on both sides
Are you sure what you have isn't trusses?
sounds like old school glued and nailed plywood plate trusses? the top cord will help support the bottom via vertical ties. ive designed and calculated the stresses on these, a LOT of work... but fun. post a picture and we can make a better judgement.
What he is describing are what I call collar ties. They are not designed to take a downward load. They keep the walls from spreading apart. Adding a few braces, like a truss, should be fine to add support for drywall. Aircraft cable would work but be expensive compared to lumber. Its a garage for petes sake, lets not go to EE school on this, just beef up the structure a bit, rock and unsulate. If it sags a little no one will notice. (It wont if you beef it up)
yes we know what collar ties are, couldnt tell for sure from the description.
I will post some photos when I get a round to it.
There are 1/2 inch plywood pieces about 8 inches wide on every joist to roof rafter about 7 foot from each wall that is 24 foot long in the span of the 2x4's. then there are the same plywood pieces extended from the rafters to the joists right at the center of the 24 foot span-I believe they are holding up the 2x4's-I think it is fine, but I am going to put up a couple aircraft wire and eyebolts on every other joist just to be sure. It was built in 1975ish and has been okay since then without the weight of the new drywall ceiling.
if there are 3 braces per tie, it will probably be fine, i was thinking only one at each end.
I have seen this a few times before but I wouldn't hang drywall on 2x4 ceiling joist 16 OC more than 11-12 feet. More than that span I would definitely recommend additional support that doesn't increase the rafter load, especially if the rafters are already as minimal as the ceiling joists.
One way is to make a W brace from the ceiling to the rafter by dividing the ceiling span by three and the rafter span to the ridge in half and connecting those points with spruce 1x8's or 1x6s
Every other joist or third joist should stiffen the ceiling correctly then strap it for drywall. If you wanted a little storage space down the middle of the attic space install bracing on them all and install a floor down the middle area that is created.
Baron, you're resurrecting a post from nearly two years ago.
thekctermite... it may be an old thread but co-incidentally I came looking for help with similar questions... I have a garage which is a little over 4 meters wide by nearly 7 meters deep. It has a pitch roof tiled. And ceiling joists of 2x4 at 16" spacing. I'm seriously considering adding insulation as I use this as a workshop as well as a garage. But I'm concerned the 2x4's across the 4 meter span aren't enough if I end up adding some sheet material as a ceiling + insulation + some kind of boarding to allow light storage in the loft space. (I can easily flex a joist by hand) I'd love some suggestions on what I should to to ensure that it is strong enough. I don't have much storage up there, but it would be nice to allow reasonable usage of that space. If I'm going to spend money to benefit from insulation I might as well do things properly. But what.. and how?
Sorry about that. I didn't actually look at the date until I had posted a more informed reply.

Curious to see opinions on this.
What's the smallest softest shooting 9mm out there?
I know weight, barrel alignment, & ergos have a lot to do with handling recoil so some guns just feel softer than others. I wonder what guns shoot the softest in the sub 6" length size category or even in the sub 20oz weight category.
Moving up in size and weight a bit I'd be curious to know what's softest in the 7" length size and the sub 25oz weight category.

I think my PPS is a pretty soft shooter and easy to carry as well. I really like it.
My Kahr P9 has a light recoil and weighs less than 17oz. empty. I am sure the economy model of it, the CW9, would be similar to it.
It's not the kel tec pf 9...that's for sure!
My springfield emp is a really soft shooter...but I suppose it's a bit larger/heavier than the Kahrs.

Even though I don't like the trigger shape and pull, my KelTec P11 does not feel bad in terms of recoil. I am ezpecting a trigger shoe and mag extension in the mail tomorrow, and they do make it more palatable. I don't carry it, but conceal it close to the front door. For that role it is worthwhile having around. I think my Walther PPK/S in .380 delivers more felt recoil.

MIAMI -- After Thursday morning's shootaround at AmericanAirlines Arena, LeBron James said that New York is a more experienced and dangerous team now. He also called the addition of Jason Kidd, his former Olympic teammate in 2008, a "key piece" to the improved Knicks.
"I think his basketball IQ is pretty much one of the highest that we have in this league, and it kind of trickles down to everyone else," James said. "I mean, in the '08 Olympics, he was our starting point guard, and I think he took, what, one shot a game.
"He was one of our leaders. He kept us in position, he was always there rotation-wise, kept us in our offense, and made us move the ball and never let us become stagnant. His mental aspect of the game just kind of rubs off on everyone."
James also knows Kidd's game well from the 2011 NBA Finals, when the future Hall of Fame point guard helped lead the Mavericks to an upset over the Heat. Now, Kidd is trying to duplicate history against the league's top team.
As James described, Kidd has been a big influence on the Knicks. When players are asked about the positive changes or winning culture of the team, they often first mention Kidd's leadership as a major spark for that. For example, he was a main facilitator in getting the guys together earlier in the offseason to work out and develop chemistry -- and since then, he's helped the team play harder and smarter.
Kidd, as a member of the Knicks' unique two point-guard starting backcourt, has helped the team become the most efficient offense in the league. They're currently averaging top marks in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.84) and fewest turnovers per game (11.0).
As an added bonus, Kidd is excelling as an off guard. While he's been getting his teammates open shots -- their 40.8 3-point percentage ranks them third-best in the NBA -- he's been knocking down his own. In fact, he leads the league in 3-point accuracy (a career-high 51.1 percent), making nearly two per game. While the Knicks are talking about preparing for Ray Allen (50.0 percent) and Rashard Lewis (48.5), Kidd is as good of a threat right now.
He represents a big advantage the Knicks have heading into Thursday night's game. With the Heat's perimeter hurting -- point guards Mario Chalmers and Norris Cole are banged up -- the Knicks will look to take advantage of their opponent's defensive rotations. That's how the Knicks won back on Nov. 2 with their 19 3-pointers, compared to the Heat's seven.
Carmelo Anthony's post-ups, penetrations and passing have been a big reason for the Knicks' fluid ball rotations, so it will be interesting to see how they adjust with him out of the lineup or in it, but likely minimized with his lacerated finger. But Mike Woodson will stress attacking to get Kidd, Raymond Felton, J.R. Smith, Steve Novak and Ronnie Brewer going from downtown.

Some of you may have noticed that my posts have been slightly irregular of late, and that I haven't been on Twitter or Facebook as much recently. Well I have a very good reason for my tardiness. I am 12 weeks pregnant today with my first child. Over the last few weeks, I have been suffering with tiredness and morning sickness (its actually all day sickness but they don't tell you that!) so blogging has not been my number 1 priority recently. I do hope you will all forgive me. I am nearing the end of the first trimester so I am hoping my regular blogging schedule will resume shortly, especially since I have lots of exciting things coming up soon.
To keep this blog to food only, I have decided to set up another blog for my pregnancy adventures. Its called Jo's Nursery. Therefore, if you are interested in finding out more about what I am experiencing at the moment, then please pop over and say hello. However, if you are not interested, don't worry, this blog will be staying the same. There may be some cross over but I will try to limit it. You can follow my new adventure on Twitter @Jos_Nursery and Facebook too. I hope to see some of you there.
I will be back soon with another foodie post. Thanks for understanding.
Happy Cooking! 🙂

There were mixed views around the NFL on Tuesday about the strength of the Redskins' legal position if the team chooses to contest the remaining portion of its salary cap penalty in court.
Many people familiar with the case have said for months that the Redskins would have little or no chance of recouping any of their lost salary cap space through a legal challenge.
But several people said this week that the team may have some strong arguments to make. Speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the team's strategy, they said Redskins officials told them the team is considering whether to seek an injunction that would halt the scheduled opening of the NFL free agent market March 12, or threatening to do that in a bid to bolster its negotiating strength in settlement talks.
One person familiar with the case said he thinks the team could use the NFL's position in a recently dismissed collusion lawsuit brought by the players' union against the league.
The league argued in the collusion case that the union had waived its right to bring such a collusion complaint. U.S. District Court Judge David Doty agreed, twice ruling that the collusion case could not move forward.
The person with knowledge of the salary cap case said the Redskins could argue that if the union had waived its right to bring a complaint based on conduct that occurred before pro football's 2011 labor agreement, the league and union also should be prohibited from taking action against a team for conduct prior to the labor deal.
"Maybe there is something to Doty's ruling that makes the issuance of discipline [against the Redskins] inappropriate," the person said. "If the [league and union] released all claims in the CBA, then how could there be a basis to discipline teams for a claim that was released?"
The league, with the union's consent, last year reduced the Redskins' salary cap by $36 million over two years as a penalty for the way the team structured players' contracts in 2010, when there was no salary cap. The NFL ruled that the Redskins attempted to gain an improper competitive advantage in future years by loading salaries into the uncapped season.
The Redskins and Dallas Cowboys, who were given a cap reduction of $10 million over two years for similar actions, challenged the reductions in an arbitration case last year. But arbitrator Stephen Burbank dismissed the case last May, ruling that the teams could not challenge the reductions because the league and the union had agreed to them.
Two other people who were briefed on the Redskins' plans also said they believe the Redskins could make a good case in court that they should be granted an injunction to halt free agency because they would suffer irreparable harm otherwise.
ESPN reported Tuesday that the Cowboys would not join the Redskins in any legal action.
Another person who said he had been told about the Redskins' approach said the team's best bet is to use the threat of going to court to persuade the league to give back a portion of the lost salary cap space. The Redskins are scheduled to absorb the remaining $18 million of the salary cap reduction this year.
"I think it's all about trying to bluff their way into a deal to get some of it back," that person said.
But others familiar with the case continued to express the view that the league will stand its ground. The defeats by the union in court and the Redskins and Cowboys in arbitration demonstrate that there is little chance of success, several people said.
"Why don't they just accept it and move on?" one asked.
According to another person, the league would be unlikely to budge in negotiations with the Redskins. That person pointed out that the salary cap reductions were approved last year by the union and the owners of the other teams. Both groups, that person said, likely would have to approve any give-back of salary cap space to the Redskins, an unlikely proposition.
The $46 million in salary cap reductions to the Redskins and Cowboys were redistributed to 28 of the other 30 NFL teams. The league found the New Orleans Saints and Oakland Raiders to have used similar tactics but to a lesser degree. They received no salary cap reductions but did not benefit from the $46 million redistribution.

So i dont know if there is a discussion of this already, but I want to know peoples thoughts and opnions on the new deadbox this weekend at the Chicago open.
For those who havent seen it here is a picture
I think having this is a lot better than the old netting. For penalities, It is no longer an easy kill out of the box since you dont know which way they will go. I also think it looks nicer. To me the nets looked kind of trashy and did not go with the overall look of the field
Tell me your thoughts on it

The World Isn't Ready for Crowdsourced Securities Offerings
Jay Parkhill April 26th, 2007
Steve Poland is a bright guy with an interesting business idea at webothlike.com. More interesting is that he is blogging the entire startup process and seeking active input from the general community along on the way. I am one of his advisers.
Early in the process Steve was trying to figure out how to get started, and we talked about ways he might be able to bring in some early cash. Almost everyone- Steve, the public and me- agreed that it would be a lot easier to get the $20,000 he needed if he could sell shares to his readers.
Unfortunately, US securities laws were the holdout. They say that anyone who wants to solicit money from the general public needs to do so via the expensive, highly regulated public offering process. Private securities offerings must be just that- private. Publicly offering to sell securities, such as through a blog, automatically strips away the ability to use private offering rules.
i was intrigued, then, when Steve told me about Cambrian House. That company is using the wisdom of crowds to solicit its own set of business ideas. The twist is that for every idea submitted, participants get a "share" of Cambrian House stock. I signed up to test it out and now have a share of stock listed in my account.
Being a securities lawyer, I wondered how the company does this. They recently put up an FAQ that explains in part.
The FAQ says that a separate entity, Cambrian House Coop, has a right to 1% of the Cambrian House equity, revenue and/or dividends (the text is a little unclear). This leads to a couple of thoughts:
First, the economics. 1% of a company is not a whole lot and my share is a tiny fraction of that. If the company becomes worth $100,000,000 the entire program will have a value of $1,000,000, which must then be divided among as many thousands or millions of people as register and earn shares. So this is a neat gimmick but I'm not sure the reward matches the effort. If I kill myself to crank out more ideas than anyone else I may end up making a few tens of thousands of dollars between now and whenever the company is sold. Neat, but I won't cut back my day job to work at it.
Second, the mechanics. Crowdsourced program participants will not actually own a piece of Cambrian House, but of the Cambrian House Coop. Participants will be entitled to elect the Board of Directors of the Coop, whose role is to determine how shares are distributed. So participants own no part of Cambrian House itself, but of the related entity that exists solely to help distribute 1% of whatever money Cambrian House decides it has made. This seems like an incredible amount of effort to distribute a relatively small amount of money.
This isn't meant to be a criticism of Cambrian House. They seem to have a lot of faith in the wisdom of crowds and are simply trying to extend the financial reward to the people that make it all possible.
It's not a critique of securities laws either. Their purpose is to help make sure that investors receive enough information about a business to understand what they are getting into before they sign on.
Unfortunately, these two concepts sail right past one another. Crowdsourcing is based on the idea that aggregating the ideas of communities increases value for everyone in the aggregate. Securities laws worry that any single individual might not have the resources to make a sufficiently educated decision.
It might be fun if Digg-style ratings could be used to help determine a business's investment worthiness and the public could rely on that. We are definitely not there yet, though and probably never will be, so for Steve, Cambrian House and everyone else there may always be an imbalance between the benefit a company can get from the community and the equity value the company can give back to individuals within that community.
