Breaking Shingle Seal Tabs
I had a tree branch crash through my roof at the ridge vent. I have to strip off shingles to replace the damaged plywood. Since the roof is only 3 years old, I want to install the new shingles only in the damaged area. My problem is breaking the seal tabs on the adjacent shingles without damaging them. Is there a tried and true way to do this?
It depends on the shingle.If it is Owens Corning be prepared for a bit of a fight.
Hot weather brings its challenges.The shingles are pretty difficult to separate.Summer repairs I have found are pretty simple with either a spatula or a 6" putty knife.
Winter repairs bring their own challenges to the table.In cooler temps the seal strips are easier to separate but lifting the shingle too high and the shingle can crack and break.
My cold weather repairs often are started around 9am.In my region repairs IMO are easier at that time.The seal strip is just warm enough to separate and warm enough for the shingle to bend and flex without damaging the shingle.
Using a nail bar should separate the seal strips with ease.Just bring some patients otherwise you will damage many more shingles than you were prepared to replace.
And be very careful on a roof in cold temps.The roof might look safe before the sunrises but once that sunlight hits the roof it will turn to frost and become very dangerous.
Just recently I was on a 8/12 roof setting roof anchors for harnesses. The sun was coming up and I was not thinking about anything but starting the roof.I walked the 25' to the ridge from the gutter line.I set 2 anchors and by the 3rd the frost came from nowhere and before I knew it the roof was covered in frost and was about the same as a skating rink.
I slipped and caught myself but I was headed face first down the roof toward the gutter.I pulled my hatchet and was smashing the shakes on my way down.About 5' from the gutter I slowed myself down by smashing through the shakes.
I was able to slide the rest of the way to the gutter line.I scooted across the gutter line with my feet in the gutter.I bought new gutters for the slope.I tore the hell out of them.
Small price to pay for keeping my mobility.The winter weather brings very different challenges and remember just because you walk freely in the spring,summer and fall does not mean winter is the same.Exercise caution regardless of season. :thumbsup:
A flat bar and quick short repeated strokes works for me.
Do not even try to lift the shingle, just hold the bar flat with the roof.
I found this video on youtube that explains the problem that I am having.
The newer shingles use a synthetic adhesive that is fuses the shingles together, unlike the tar of the past. Problem is that this company is not in business anymore. Is there another tool like this out there?
As roofmaster said; the seal strips separate much easier when they are cold, heating the shingles or the knife will most likely make it worse. On a warm sunny day it can be very difficult to separate them without destroying both shingles.
What I find to work best is a thin blade putty knife about 4-5 inches wide, a hammer and about 35-40 degrees with little to no sun. Holding the knife at a low angle, almost flat, and carefully tapping it up under the tabs will separate them pretty cleanly.
I recently had to repair some sheeting on my son's house with 5 year old Tamko laminated shingles. It was about 60 degrees in the mid afternoon sun when I started and nothing I tried was working, even the thin putty knife and working carefully would result in destroying the tab and the shingle below. I almost considered giving up and waiting for colder weather. Since I have free access to it at work I decided to try using some dry ice and it could not have worked any better!
I picked up a half dozen slabs of ice from work and laid them out over the strips I wanted to separate. After a few minutes the shingles popped easily apart with the putty knife. I went around the area I wanted to repair and separated all the shingles I would need to remove, by the time I was done the shingles I started with had warmed up enough they could be bent up without breaking the tabs.
Ok I just came it. I tried the suggestion of using a "thin blade putty knife about 4-5 inches wide, a hammer and about 35-40 degrees with little to no sun." It was about 39 degrees here this morning. It worked. Thanks for the suggestions.
PS: I like the idea of the attachment for the Sawzall. If I had more time, I get one.

But in truth, it's all about intention. If you're a 50 y.o. grandmother and have a knife your 'son' gave you, you'll get a 'dearie, that's a big knife you got there...' and sent on your way. If you're someone 'of interest' the report will say 'had a weapon...' on the report and no mention it was a small SAK with scissors and a toothpick in the handle.
I'd select based on how well the knife slices cheese and spreads peanut butter and cuts twine, and unless your cheese is trying to escape, you don't need an auto-assisted knife. :)
I think I'd avoid those knives with skulls on the blade and super-scary pointy points and stuff if I was worried about interdiction.

Non-Fathers Tricked into Paying Child Support Can Sue in Tenn.
A Tennessee man who was tricked into paying child support by his ex-wife for a son that wasn't his will be able to recover the money he gave to the mother, the state Supreme Court ruled this month.
Chadwick Craig sued his ex, Tina Marie Hodge, in 2008 for $25,000 in child support and healthcare-related payments he had made for her son Kyle, along with other damages. For 15 years, Craig believed that he was Kyle's father, only to learn in 2007 that Hodge had lied to him all along, according to court documents. Because of the deception, Craig will be able to collect on his lawsuit, the state court decided.
The story plays out like a classic Maury Povich tale. Craig and Hodge were high school sweethearts, although the relationship was described as "on and off." During a hiatus in October 1991, Hodge had sex with someone named Joey Hay, the court's opinion explains. True love could not be denied for long, however, and Craig and Hodge were soon back together.
It was then that Hodge realized she was pregnant– and assured Craig that "she was sure that he was the child's father and that the child could be no one else's." They got married December 20– no word if a shotgun was involved– and in June of 1992 Hodge gave birth to a baby boy, Kyle.
All might have been well in the family, until October 2000 when Craig took a job as an on-the-road trucker. While he was away, it was only a matter of weeks before his wife admitted to an affair. Divorce soon followed, and Craig started paying child support and medical insurance for Kyle.
Deception Unveiled
Several years later, after a custody change when Kyle was living with him, Craig started to wonder why his supposed son didn't look like him. Rumors around town prompted him to doubt his paternity. One night while the boy slept, Craig took a DNA sample from him and learned that Kyle was not, in fact, his son.
Hodge admitted her deception, and Craig was left to pull his life back together. His relationship with Kyle was all but severed. He had previously had a vasectomy, satisfied with having one child, and has not been able to reverse it. And he was out $25,000 in child support and health care costs for someone else's child. Naturally, he sued. The court found that Hodge had acted with "fraudulent intent to deceive [Mr. Craig] into thinking he was the father," and ordered Craig's child support be returned, along with other damages.
An appeals court acknowledged the mother's deception but took away the damages based on a technicality; Craig took it to the state Supreme Court and got his victory. From now on, men in the state can sue to reclaim their child support if they can show that they were intentionally misled into thinking they were a father.
Proven Elements
Attorneys are applauding a common-sense decision. "Tennessee will now recognize paternity fraud," says Amy J. Amundsen, a family law attorney with Rice, Amundsen & Caperton in Memphis. "I thought it was a great opinion."
Of course, men still have to prove they were misled if they want their day in court. "It's just like any other type of law. You have to prove these elements," Amundsen says. "The court sussed it out very clearly in the opinion what the elements are."
The plaintiff in any similar case has a certain hurdle to overcome to convince the court that fraud took place: "The defendant made a representation of past or present fact, the representation was falsely made, involved material fact, and the defendant knew that the representation was false or did not believe it to be true, or made it recklessly without knowing if it was true or false," the attorney explains. "It's just like any other tort action."
Ultimately, the ruling will help make sure that the actual father is the one taking care of his kids financially. "The child needs to know his father," says Amundsen. "I was very pleased with the outcome of this case."

Hi friends of a&d,
So last night I was out at dinner at Crispo in the Meatpacking District with a group of friends. As dinner was finishing up, one of my friends pulled out her cell phone to check her Instagram feed, of course, and gave a little shriek. "OMG is this your scarf?!?" She held her phone up to me, and lo and behold, Lena Dunham had posted a pic of herself wearing our Addy black cutout wrap scarf.
Those of you who don't know who Lena Dunham is, shame on you. Lena is a young, brilliant, hilarious rising star and the brains behind the HBO show, Girls. She writes, directs and acts in this series about four post-collegiate girls living in Brooklyn, navigating the tumultuous new phase of their lives. The girls of Girls are filming season two right now, so if you missed season one, we definitely recommend watching it on demand now.
***For those of you who have been following Lena on Twitter or in the news, Lena has officially issued an apology for a comment she made about this photo and accusations that post was racist. Lena has since removed the post and inappropriate comment from Twitter and has tweeted the following:
"Been in production and completely not reading the news. Didn't realize what a bad time it was to make a joke like that."
"Not a good excuse you guys, but an excuse nonetheless. I'm glad you keep me informed and I'm deleting those tweets."
"Will spend tonight reading my pile of old NY Times, contemplating the boundaries of humor. I try and learn something new every day. xxLena"
We love Lena and know she meant no harm by the photo, but we believe she made the right move in removing the post and apologizing. We want to assure readers that here at ash&dans we do not condone racism in any way, shape or form. Our scarves are meant to be worn by everyone, for both fashion and function, and no persons or group should be mocked for their traditional garb. We accept Lena's apology for wearing our scarf in that context and hope that everyone else does, too.

A Gaijin's Perspective: Should Japan allow multiple citizenship?
Credits to yousuke_ito via Statigr.am for this one!
Introductory Text
Sooooo yeah! Imma back, guys! Well, sorry for not posting things here in my main blog since I have err… a little or no more motivation to post things, but yeah… can't be helped!
But as promised, I'm back! However, without Photoshop CS6 Extended in my lappie (aww… just Lightroom, that's it) and without anything that will motivate me to improve my photography skills (how I miss photography, but I realized that it's more convenient to have a smaller DSLR than a medium-sized one).
But no worries guys, I have learned the hard way: We don't need Photoshop if we could capture great photos, right? After all, being Photoshop-dependent sucks real dick, amaright!?
Well here, this is serious business. Today (or tonight in my country, haha!), I am gonna discuss the benefits and downsides of dual (or multiple) citizenship and why should the Japanese government accept Kono Taro-sama's proposal–with modifications, of course.
What is multiple citizenship?
Multiple citizenship… in general, is a situation wherein an individual holds more than one citizenship–meaning to say that he/she's protected by more than one country's laws (correct me for me grammer… lol). Each independent entity has its own laws regarding multiple citizenship.
A person could acquire at least two citizenships: One citizenship is something which a person is born with and another citizenship is something that a person acquired through naturalization. Most people are born with single citizenship, but nowadays, more and more children are born with more than one citizenship.
Single citizens – Usually, these people were born in their home country (parents' domicile/hometown) or in a foreign country (countries which follow the jus sanguinis principle). If a person is born in the Philippines with Filipino parents, of course these parents should be Filipino citizens who do not hold another citizenship.
Example: A person born in the Philippines to Filipino parents, or a person born somewhere in the Middle East to Filipino parents (take note that most Middle Eastern countries, esp. the monarch-runned ones, do not allow naturalization AT ALL). I really didn't expect that one of my acquaintances was born in Saudi Arabia.
Notable people: Venus Raj (born in Qatar), Jessy Mendiola (born in the United Arab Emirates/UAE), Korina Sanchez (born in Hong Kong), Isla Fischer (Australian actress, born in Oman), Liv Ullmann (Norwegian actress, born in Japan)
Multiple citizens – Usually, these people were born with more than one citizenship. Most of these people were either born with Filipino parents in a jus soli country (Canada and the United States), or is usually mixed-raced. Most people who are under this category have parents who do not have the same citizenship.
Example: A Filipino person born to Filipino parents in the United States of America, or a half-Filipino, half-British person born in the Philippines or in Britain but holds British and Filipino citizenship at the same time.
Notable people: Joyce Jimenez (born in the United States to Filipino parents), G Toengi (father is Swiss-American, and sources say that she was born in US soil), Kaye Abad (born in the United States to Filipino parents), Natalie Portman (mother is American while father is an Israeli), Nicole Kidman (born in Hawaii to Australian parents), Roger Federer (born in Switzerland which is his domicile, but also has South African citizenship through his mother), Heidi Klum (German model, naturalized as an American citizen for her children), Kirsten Dunst (American actress, naturalized as German through her father), Charlize Theron (South African actress, naturalized as American in 2007 due to visa restrictions on a South African passport), Rachel Weisz (British actress, naturalized as American)… to be honest, there are a LOT, actually!
Notable people who hold more than two citizenships: Flynn Bloom (born in the United States to Orlando Bloom who is British and Miranda Kerr who is Australian), Christianne Amanpour (has a British mother and an Iranian father but naturalized as an American through marriage), G Toengi (American, Filipino and Swiss)
Actually, these are some examples I can give you so far. YEAH, most of these people are celebrities because one of my professors in college said that holding more than one citizenship is actually very expensive (he said that holding more than one citizenship is for the rich)–since you have to pay taxes in both countries. No wonder, I will show you both the benefits and the downsides of being a multiple citizen.
Benefits of being a multiple citizen
Credits to @gtongi via Statigr.am
1.) Visa-free access to other countries without a visa – Usually, if you're Filipino and you hold citizenship in first-world countries (USA, Japan, Singapore, Brunei, Germany, Israel, Finland, Sweden), you could actually travel in as much many countries as you like, but not all countries could be accessed without a prior-to-arrival visa. As a matter of fact, the only advantage of Filipino citizens over Japanese citizens is that, Filipinos could travel to Brazil without a visa, while Japanese citizens need to acquire a visa prior to their Brazilian trip. Here, this shows that holding more than one citizenship would bring you more benefits like visa-free access to popular destinations such as Southeast Asia, East Asia and the Schengen Area… and the Anglophone world.
Example: Filipino + USA/Canada/Japan/Australia/UK citizenship = A-OK; Filipino + not first-world citizenship = depends.
2.) Regionalism – Filipino citizens have the freedom to visit the rest of Southeast Asia without a visa (of course, the Philippines finally has visa-free access to Myanmar… recently) while former Soviet blocs could access their fellow former Soviet comrade countries without any visa, but it still depends upon the situation. Canadian citizens could enter the United States without a visa waiver at all, and New Zealanders could visit Australia without a visa waiver. Don't you know that it's only the USA and Australia that have a visa waiver policy? Canada, the United Kingdom and the rest of the Anglophone countries do not have the same policy as Oz and the US of A, but somehow they allow these countries to visit their territory without any visa at all.
For instance, if you hold Filipino and American/British/Australian/Canadian citizenship, you could access Southeast Asia without a visa with your Philippine passport, while you could enter the Schengen area with your other passport.
3.) You could buy real estate/land property in some countries – The Philippines is the best example of a country that does not allow foreigners to buy land property in Philippine soil–no wonder, there are condominium units that are actually more expensive than a townhouse. Somehow, if you naturalize yourself as an American citizen and have plans to re-acquire Filipino citizenship, that is because you want to have your own land property in the Philippines… and retire there.
4.) You're protected by the law–two constitutions/basic laws, that is – I ain't sure about this one, but you could file for divorce if you're a citizen of another country since the Philippines is the only country that does not recognize divorce as means of legally separating a couple (actually, I am into divorce–but it should have a minimum price of 1 million pesos, so that people will think twice before proceeding).
5.) You could work as an expat or immigrant worker (without restrictions, maybe) – Expatriates (formal for expats) usually refer to people with a white-collar job in another country while immigrant workers refer to people who work in a foreign country–but in a blue-collar job. Well, you're considered an immigrant worker if you work as a factory worker or as a caregiver/domestic helper, while if you're in another country yet you're a businessman or company employee, you are considered an expatriate. Well, our acquaintances who have connection to Canada generally had blue-collar jobs, but they returned to the Philippines because yeah, Canada's quite a laid-back country. And too quiet to get started with.
Now you know what the difference between an immigrant worker and an expat is: Expat refers to a white-collar job worker, while an immigrant worker usually refers to a person doing manual labor/factory work, or in other words, a blue-collar job.
Downsides of multiple citizenship
1.) TAXES – The burden of paying taxes. No wonder only the well-off people could afford holding more than one citizenship. Well, you really have to work hard if you want to acquire another citizenship.
Source: Wikipedia
2.) Conflict with another country – If you happen to be an Israeli citizen, you are not spared when it comes to the Arab League's visa policies. Even ordinary passport holders are actually not allowed to enter oil-rich countries unless they have a special permit coming from the Israeli government. Worse, some of these Arab countries reject not only Israeli passports, but also non-Israeli passports with an Israel stamp on it (yes, the Arab League is really hostile towards Israel as their stance of support towards Palestine, and Israel happens to be an ally of the United States, no wonder). While Hong Kong recently imposed sanctions towards Filipino citizens who hold an official or a diplomatic passport, it's a good thing that they spared ordinary passport holders as a sign that the Hong Kong government gives sanctions to Filipino government officials and representatives, but not ordinary citizens of the Philippines.
Side Note: Israeli citizens could enter the Arab League with "special permission" from the government.
Taiwanese citizens, on the other hand, could not access Brazil without a "special visa" since both countries do not maintain diplomatic relations with each other.

3.) Conscription – This is another problem if you're a multiple citizen. In the Philippines, one is required to choose between ROTC (military training) and CWTS (community service). Usually, dual citizens will choose CWTS because ROTC is mainly about conscription. Military service usually requires people who have just one citizenship… dunno with multiple citizens. This is probably the reason why South Korea didn't allow multiple citizenship before 2011 (multiple citizenship is allowed now, but pars with the multiple citizenship policies of the Netherlands and Norway). In other words, it's still QUOTA.
South Koreans actually have this problem. Prior to 2011, usually, most South Korean mothers give birth to the United States because they don't want their sons to join the military service, which is mandatory. However, there are still South Korean men who are still WILLING to be conscripted.

4.) Citizenship issues among monarchs – Well, if you happen to be a monarch (male), you have to beg for the government to have a certain agreement that this place has to be a temporary exclave of your country just for your spouse to give birth to your child just in case you're in exile. No wonder, Thailand does not allow multiple citizenship at all since their King was born in the United States of America (which is jus soli).
5.) NSTP (National Service Training Program) – If you're a Filipino citizen, you have to undergo this process. It may seem to be "AWW" to you, but to those who don't like ROTC, CWTS is always there. Yes, Filipino citizens who hold another citizenship have a hesitation of choosing between ROTC and CWTS, but if you were to ask me, CWTS is a safer choice–you explore ALL the walks of life, and it's better than undergoing religious community service (if you're Lasallian and you took up TREDTWO).
Multiple citizenship in Japan
Now here's err… something I would like to share with you guys. Basically, Japan does not allow multiple citizenship (or at least, dual) because one government official said that it might cause conflict to a person, and the government wants its citizens to follow the "stick-to-one" rule, when it comes to citizenship.
Well, it is actually a burden if you happen to be a Japanese citizen and yet you hold another citizenship. For me, not allowing your citizens to obtain two passports just because it might cause conflict doesn't always mean they'll always be a magnet of any chaotic dilemmas regarding citizenship. Hapas in Japan have this dilemma of just choosing one citizenship since they have no choice but to have two citizenships. I don't think hapa celebrities like Becky Rabone and Christel Takigawa were willing to choose just one citizenship, but because of the nationality law of Japan, they still have to choose one. Becky decided to drop her British citizenship since obviously, she's more Japanese than British. I'm not sure if Christel chose Japanese over French. But I'm sure, there are lots of hapa celebrities who do not want to renounce their other citizenship. So far, I have heard that Yuu Shirota decided to keep his Spanish citizenship, though he was born in Tokyo, but I ain't sure if he chose Spanish.
Speaking of the multiple citizenship proposal by LDP dude (not sure if he's still the leader) Kono Taro-sama, it was rather been rejected because the process of making his bill into a law doesn't seem to be very clear–however, speaking of Kono-sama's policies, it seems that he's like the Japanese BongBong Marcos since his policies are awesome–but to tell you the truth, he lacks charisma. But still, he's still my favorite Japanese politician (LOL), just like how I admire Condoleeza Rice and Kanzlerin Angela Merkel. Can I just add that he favors Japan to have its own military.
blogs.wsj.com/japanrealtime|Kare wa Kono Taro-sama desu. The Asian look-alike of Stephen Hawking but his ideas are similar with Senator BongBong Marcos.
Here's Kono-sama's proposal.
Hmmm… I guess something's missing. He should have also considered the "permission required" policy which is actually a thing of German-speaking countries (hence, the word Beibehaltungsgenehmigung [Beibe-haltungs-gemehnigung], which means retention approval. Yes, I admit it's too freaking long, but what do you expect on German compound words, lol). Actually, die Beibehaltungsgenehmigung is actually beneficial since this will ease down Japan's citizenship laws. I repeat, having this implemented towards Japanese citizens who hold more than one citizenship could apply whether they're willing to retain both citizenships or not. This is also a big help to foreigners who are willing to naturalize as Japanese citizens but still want to retain their original citizenship.
Yes, actually Kono-sama should have thought of the Japanese version of die Beibehaltungsgenehmigung (リテンション承認, Ritenshon shounin) so that it would be fair for everyone who holds Japanese citizenship to have another citizenship.
A Gaijin's Perspective: Should Japan allow multiple citizenship?
Well, coming from a gaijin myself (speaking of Japanese society), my answer goes to a big YES. For one, if you hold a Japanese passport (Nihonkoku Ryoken), you have the freedom to travel towards the Schengen Area and the rest of the European union without a visa, and not only that, you could travel in China without a visa.
Side Note: To those chauvinists who think I don't have the right to an opinion with regards to a foreign country's citizenship laws, then it cannot be helped. But still, what about those foreigners who want to have another citizenship? Well, I believe that patriotism is not based on a person's nationality within itself, but it's also on how they love their country unconditionally.
The similarities between a Filipino and a Japanese passport is that, you could enter Morocco without a visa (oh yes, OT BTW, my Emirati friends and Israeli buddies could meet there haha). Being Filipino myself, I am willing to have Japanese citizenship IF and ONLY IF Japan will allow dual citizenship, provided that they impose the Beibehaltungsgemehnigung in all aspects.
Yes, I think having more than one citizenship has more advantages than disadvantages, if you're not into having yourself drafted to military service. Well, Singapore still does not allow dual citizenship, while South Korea allowed it but with certain conditions (aww… it's also great to hold Korean citizenship, actually)–prolly because of the military service thing (which is actually good, I tell you).
Also, if you happen to be a dual citizen, if you don't like ROTC (hahaha, ang bad ko talaga), you choose CWTS freely, but those who are dual citizens but WANTS ROTC are sad because of the policies. Oh my.
However, I'm telling you: Having more than one citizenship isn't that bad. No wonder, the reason why I prefer having a Japanese citizenship as my other citizenship because I consider Japan as my second home. Also, I won't mind being married to a Japanese guy, it's just that he has to be the liberated type of guy (not really the Westernized type, but the one who is at least, open-minded). Also, I won't mind speaking up for foreigners who are willing to naturalize as Japanese citizens, especially those who come from third-world countries (mostly from Africa and Asia), but are still willing to retain the citizenship they're born with.
Also, don't you know that there are a lot of Filipino-Japanese people who like to keep both citizenships? Well, I may not have done a survey just yet, but to be honest, being Filipino-Japanese is a privilege. Most of them consider themselves more Filipino than Japanese, but they wouldn't want to give up their Japanese citizenship since their Japanese passports could let them go places. But, if some of them accept the fact that Japan does not allow dual citizenship, they'll choose Japanese for travel purposes OR, if they live in Japan already. But some of them still chose Filipino because they think they're at home when they choose Filipino citizenship even though Filipino passports don't share the same privilege as Japanese passports. This applies if they settle permanently in the Philippines.
I'm not sure if Filipino-Koreans have the same issue as well since the Republic of Korea (my other favorite country even though I'm not a fan of K-Pop) recently allowed multiple citizenship with certain conditions. However, as far as I know, before 2011, half-Koreans should choose just one citizenship at the age of 18 years old (without the age reckoning system, I guess).
Well, since Japan's already losing manpower (majority are yes, old people, the ojiisans and the obaasans), I guess it's time for them to allow dual citizenship and ease their immigration laws since there are a lot of foreigners who are willing to naturalize as Japanese citizens, or to work there and learn the language and culture. I guess Japan should realize that citizenship is not simply about one race, but it should be conforming to their society–and speaking Nihongo, of course.
Of course, Japan's nationality law dictates that Japanese people should "stick to one" when it comes to obtaining another citizenship, or to naturalize as Japanese, since Japanese society has been maintaining the value of being loyal to a single nation, which I do respect. However, I believe that having dual citizenships won't make you less of your other identity. For instance, being Filipino-Japanese. YES, being half-Japanese won't ever make you less of a Filipino, and being half-Filipino won't make you less of a Japanese. Look at Sayaka Akimoto. She used to have insecurities with regards to being half-Filipino, but she realized that being half-Filipino is something that she should be proud of. After all, we Filipinos are proud of her. Pretty, talented and whatnot, she's perfection! She's always welcome in the Philippines, and we love her.
It was really surprising that Sayaka Akimoto was born in the Philippines. Well, Wikipedia is always distorted, that's why when I learned that she wasn't born in Japan, I was like, "OMG!" The video is still "bitin" (word for "lacking"), therefore I was like cringing.
I think Sayaka could speak Filipino when she was younger, but then she lost the ability to speak it when she and her family moved to Japan at such a very young age. No wonder, she might be one of those hapas who hesitated to renounce their citizenship.
Ironically, Japanese channels promote multiculturalism through their celebrities travelling across the globe, but still, in their own country, why can't they simply allow foreigners to conform to their society and consider them as Japanese? Why do they still believe that being monoracial is something that should be placed in value?
I really cannot blame Japanese society for being too homogeneous, however, since the world is already getting smaller and smaller, I guess Japan should allow multiple citizenship since "extreme loyalty" is simply a thing of the past. Globalization embraces a lot of cultures, and I guess Japan should embrace multiculturalism, while retaining their traditions, of course. They're very well-known to balance the old and new, and the East and the West–but why are they still discouraging their people from having more than one citizenship? I may not be in the right position to judge them, but who knows, hopefully they'll allow their citizens and gaijins to obtain more than one citizenship in the future. As of now, multiple nationality is still under a heated debate there (even though they recently rejected Kono-sama's proposal, which is understandable because there are a few lapses in his proposal–and not only Kono-sama himself could propose a law by himself alone; it needs approval by consensus, or slight modifications).
Summary and Conclusions
After all, being a multiple citizen won't hurt, for as long as you abide by the laws and know how to handle finances correctly, because at the end of the day, globalization is inevitable.
As for Japan, I guess I am still hopeful that they will allow multiple citizenship for hapas and for foreigners who are willing to retain their original citizenship while acquiring a new one. Like what I have said before, multiple citizenship has its own pros and cons, and speaking of which, it is still the person who will decide whether they should choose their citizenship, regardless of their nationality.
Here, if I were to acquire Japanese citizenship, that won't make me less of a Filipino since I still consider myself a Filipino–but I still prefer having more than one citizenship in order to travel around the world without a visa–and to work in another country.
I am also fighting for people who wish to acquire another citizenship in their second home. Like me, I consider the Philippines as my home, and whenever I leave valuables, it's alright since the Philippines is still home to me even though it's not a rich country. However, when I stepped in Japanese soil, I told to myself, "I will make this my second home… soon!" Yes, it actually came true–I consider Japan as my second home, even though the cost of living there is high. I could imagine myself either living there or fall for a Japanese guy (with a globalized background of course).
To end this discussion, to be honest, there are a lot more details I will discuss. I think, I'll just post the sources so that everyone will understand why multiple citizenship is more beneficial than a threat. At the end of the day, it is still the person who defines his/her identity, and being of course, let's say, half-Greek half-Persian won't make someone less Greek or less Persian. In other words, you cannot force someone to choose just one identity.

I should have said any states non resident license.Quote:
Although a registration scheme may still be an out since it does not specifically mention the specific weapon itself only the laws of the state in which the person resides. If the State of residence laws apply to the weapon then if you are a CA resident and you are stopped in Washington State with a gun that holds 16rds, Washington can declare that you are not covered by this law and arrest you for carrying a Concealed Weapon without a license so this could cut either way. For people in states (VT, IL, WI) and US Territories that do not issue licenses at all the wording of the law does not seem to cover anyone getting a Non-Resident License from Florida since it says specifically the "State in which the person resides" instead of the "State that issues the License" Alaska issues Concealed Weapon Licenses for persons traveling out of state, VT does not. Military keeps their initial state residence regardless of where they are stationed unless they they request to change their state of residence. (I had a FL Drivers License, Florida Registration, and a FL Resident-CWL with a California address on them. Although I couldn't use the CWL in California.)

Baobab: new taste for Europe, trade for Africa
By Pascal Fletcher
DAKAR (Reuters) - Its fruit has a tart, zesty taste -- some say like sherbet. It's highly nutritious, and might be imbued with the souls of dead chieftains. If you live in Europe, it could be headed to a smoothie near you.
The baobab tree -- thick-trunked icon of the African bush -- does not look appetizing. But European firms may soon be using the pulp of its fruit as a flavoring for cereal bars or drinks, after it won European Commission approval as a novel food.
The decision in July has planted the gourd-like fruit on the product development radar of food processors. Trade and development experts hope that move -- a landmark for a wild-harvested fruit -- will also plug millions of poor African bush dwellers into a lucrative, sustainable market.
A 2007 report for Britain's Natural Resources Institute estimated that in southern Africa alone, harvesting the baobab could generate more than $1 billion worth of trade a year and employ over 2.5 million households.
"The potential is huge ... We're quite confident that it's going to represent significant returns for rural producers," said Dr Lucy Welford, marketing manager of PhytoTrade Africa, a trade organization that campaigns for the sustainable use of African natural products.
For centuries, people across Africa have enjoyed the baobab fruit's refreshing vitamin-filled pulp. Naturally dehydrated, it is credited with medicinal properties, ranging from a cure for fever or diarrhea to a calcium-rich pick-me-up.
Plucked from the gnarled, swollen-trunked baobab trees, the large brown pods covered with a velvety fur are often split by hungry children who suck the pulp as a snack.
"I'd say it's somewhere between grapefruit and tamarind as a kind of flavor," said Welford, who expects baobab fruit to be used at first to flavor smoothies and cereal bars. It could also be used in juices, ice-creams and jams or bakery products. Continued...

Smooth Cherrywood Baby Rattle
An appealing rattle for babies made of all natural cherrywood polished with real beeswax, that is non-toxic and safe for teething on. The sanded smooth surfaces curve organically giving a natural sensory experience to baby hands. Each rattle is slightly different according to the grain of the wood, so this makes a unique gift for the green family, especially for moms who want to avoid too many chemical plastics in their baby's life. This wooden rattle is an affordable natural gift for baby showers priced at $14.99 on Amazon.

Related Poem Content Details
Robert Lowell is best known for his volume Life Studies, but his true greatness as an American poet lies in the astonishing variety of his work. In the 1940s he wrote intricate and tightly patterned poems that incorporated traditional meter and rhyme; in the late 1950s when he published Life Studies, he began to write startlingly original personal or "confessional" poetry in much looser forms and meters; in the 1960s he wrote increasingly public poetry; and finally in the 1970s he created poems that incorporated and extended elements of all the earlier poetry. Meanwhile he also produced a volume of translations he called "imitations" and wrote or translated several plays. Lowell had a profound interest in history and politics; in his poetry he juxtaposed self and history in ways that illuminated both. His art and his life were inseparably intertwined, and he believed firmly in the identity of self and...

Fire Investigators Probe Cause Of Fontenelle Fire
A large brush fire in eastern Nebraska forced the evacuation of a farm and educational complex that houses dozens of animals.
Fire crews from Omaha and Bellevue spent hours on Saturday fighting the blaze, which had flames that reached 20 to 25 feet high. Crews brought the fire under control, but were still working Sunday morning to tamp down smoldering hot spots.
The fire at Fontenelle Forest in Bellevue was between a Missouri River levee and nearby railroad tracks. It forced the evacuation of the Gifford Farm, an educational complex that houses dozens of animals. Bellevue firefighters were expected to meet with farm employees Sunday to determine when the workers and animals can return.
The fire's origin has not been confirmed.

Just Kicking the Tires?
Everyone has walked around a place of business and kicked the proverbial tires. Your consumer might be looking at anything from a new car to something on the Internet. Could he just be looking? Sure, however, he is also displaying an intent or need. Something drove him to take time out of his busy schedule to visit your place of business. Does he think that the purchase of your product will make him more efficient, safer or more financially secure?
The first step of building decision momentum is to let the consumer know that you are interested in fulfilling their needs. Send them an email thanking them for their interest. Let them know that you have what they are looking for and that you can quickly meet their needs.
Is this difficult?
As mentioned before, the more difficult the task, the quicker the intent diminishes. ITC encounters this all the time when migrating customers to our platforms. For example, when we bring a new customer onto the Insurance Website Builder platform the task that takes the most effort is the migration of the domain name and email. Therefore, our website on-boarding team's number one goal is making sure that we complete the migration for the new customer. We make this very clear during the sales process.
As for insurance, people perceive that changing agencies or companies is a hassle. The fact is, it really is not. The next push you need to make is letting your prospect know that it is easy to switch and you will help them every step of the way. Remove any doubt in their mind that there are barriers to entry.
Following Up
This is a no brainer. Once you have communicated all of the above…continue to stay in touch with them. With any volume of prospects, this can become a large task. To make your job less difficult, utilize an agency marketing system that continually sends follow up emails that reminds them of their original intent. Keep following up until they buy or …
Let Go
Sometimes there are valid reasons as to why someone does not buy. Usually this means that they had intent at one point yet found that their current situation was acceptable. The key to this situation is that you should always ask why you did not win the business. You might be able to overcome the objection if the prospect has yet to buy. Otherwise, utilize this information to understand the next time someone has the same intent. Review your process to make sure you are hitting all the points that your consumers care about.

It's called the "Exmor RS," and Sony is hailing it as the World's First*1 Stacked CMOS Image Sensor. Stacked? What the heck does that mean? It means that researchers are doing for camera censors what computer chip designers discovered a few years ago, that two chips are better than one, but with the added bonus that stacking them leads to greater image quality, with lower file sizes.
The "Exmor RS" is a CMOS image sensor that adopts a unique 'stacked structure.' This structure layers the pixel section, containing formations of back-illuminated pixels over the chip affixed with mounted circuits for signal processing, in place of conventional supporting substrates used for back-illuminated CMOS image sensors. – Sony News Release
The new stack CMOS sensor will be featured in three different configurations and are designed chiefly to be used in Smartphones and Tablets. The sensors will provide either 8.08 megapixels or 13.13 megapixels and will use an encoding technique called 'RGBW coding' for still images and 'HDR (High Dynamic Range) movie' for video.
Sony says that RGBW will boost low light image capture thanks to a white pixel encoding which will seek out and enhance brighter lighting conditions in the low light spectrum. High Dynamic Range Movie will take two images simultaneously but at different exposures and then sandwich them for each frame, creating a more detailed and color accurate video image.
Main Features
"Exmor RS" stacked CMOS image sensor
2) This stacked structure facilitates higher image quality, advanced functionality and a more compact size.
– Equipped with 'RGBW coding' and 'HDR movie' functions ("IMX135" and "IMX134")
– Equipped with a built-in camera signal processing function, enabling compatibility with automatic controls, picture adjustment and multiple image output formats (such as YUV) ("ISX014")
Main Features
Imaging modules (each image sensor is mounted with a built-in lens unit with auto-focus mechanism):
1) High resolution has been achieved by adopting a newly-designed lens, which is optimized for the industry's smallest(*1) 1.12μm unit pixel size.
2) The "IU135F3-Z" auto-focus lens module adopts a bright F2.2 high-resolution lens.
3) The "IU134F9-Z" achieves a thin, compact size (W:8.5 x D:8.5 x H:4.2mm(*4)).
4) The "IUS014F-Z" is an all-in-one model capable of picture adjustment that comes equipped with a camera signal processing function.
Sony is also building new auto focus image modules which will work in concert with the new CMOS sensors to provide the light gathering capability of a high-resolution F2.2 lens.
And while SONY will continue to manufacture standard RGB CMOS censors, they believe that the stacked configuration to be the future and will be focusing on it's development moving forward because it provides additional image quality without having to enlarge the camera sensor. And since real estate is at a premium in smartphone design, it's bound to be quickly adopted by manufacturers when it ships in 2013 in a phased roll out that begins with the 13.13 megapixel censor, followed by the pair of smaller 8.08 censors which will be out by year's end.

Clarifications on local – for news readers and publishers
February 21st, 2008 | Published in Google News
Two weeks ago we launched a new feature that lets you create local sections on your personalized Google News page. After some feedback we've been getting, we wanted to clarify a couple of issues. We want to make sure that it's easy for you to use this feature, but we also want to ensure that publishers know how to best update the information about their sites.
First, I'll address the specific steps that you should take to use the local feature. In both our feedback and some of the press coverage on this feature, there was some confusion about how to actually create a local section. Specifically, a number of people tried to enter a zip code or a city/state combination in our main search bar and did not get the results they wanted. Currently, you must create a local section to get local results. We're working to make this more clear on the site and improve the functionality. In the meantime, here's the step-by-step process to create your own local section.
First, look for the local section on your front page and the local search bar, as you see here:
All you have to do is enter the information in this section and PRESTO! You've got yourself a local section. If you don't see this promotion, you can set up a local section via your personalized page settings. Just access this option using "Personalize this page" or "Edit this personalized page" (if you've already personalized). Once you've clicked on this you'll see a menu similar to this image (US edition only). Click on "Add a local section."
Once you've clicked on this local section link, you'll see a place to enter a zip code or city/state combination. Use the drop-down menu to choose the number of stories you'd like to see. Once you click "Add Section" you'll see this section on your personalized Google News page.
And that's it -- you should be up and running with local news from wherever you want it. We're still working to improve this new feature both with our results and the features on our site, so keep the feedback coming!
The other feedback we got came from a number of publishers asking us how they could make sure we get all the great local news they're producing and ensure they shown up in results for their readers. As we explained, most of the work takes place on our side as we read every article to understand what location the story is about. However, we also look to check that against the location of the publisher. If you're a publisher and want to make sure we have all the latest information about your site, please contact our support team. If you notice that we are not including all of your articles, please send us a list of your news sections. If you notice that we don't include location information for your source, let us know what your accurate location is. Finally, if you're not included in News at all, let us know and we'll review your site for inclusion.
We hope the local feature is a interesting and useful feature for you to get information about cities near you or of interest to you. We're always working to improve our product, and appreciate your feedback.

I am so grateful for this forum, I have found out a lot of great info so far. Still need some help. Please take a look at these pictures. I am trying to build this shower in the little space I have in order to use this expensive shower glass my girlfriend bought. For it to work, I need to go around this corner, shown in the image. Here are my questions.
1.) It does not appear that there is a stud on the wall (see arrow, image 2), will this be a problem? The wall turns a quick corner and then there is a stud. Not sure what to do.
2.) Is it okay to build the curb with 2X4s? I was thinking about stacking up three 2x4s to get 6 inches in height. I plan on folding over the membrane, and then tacking on lathe and muding it over.
3.) how do you properly cut the membrane to drape over around the corner onto the curb? I have seen plastic corner pieces, I could not find them at Lowes. Are they needed for corners?
4.) I have been reading about putting hardibacker onto green board and was going to to put up the tar paper over the green board, then put up the hardibacker. Sound okay?
5.) do you butt one piece of hardibacker right up to the other at corners? or leave a gap? do you seal the borders?
A lot of questions, I know. :(
Thanks so much!
You seriously need to get a Kerdi Shower kit. It'll be a lot easier and a lot better system. You'll get all your membranes, shower pan, curb, drain, etc. go to http://www.schluter.com and check into one.
Yeah, I have heard of them. Only problem, is that I already have my preslope poured and I don't have the $$$ to buy Kerdi.
Okay, since there is not a lot of structure in that corner, what if I take down the greenboard and drywall and install plywood? I could hang the plywood on the studs that are there and at least there would be something to drill the hardiback into? What do you think??
vgoose, you are heading for trouble. I'm not sure where your information is coming from but it's not good information.
Do yourself a favor...
Use the KERDI Drain and KERDI Mat on this project. You can't afford not to. Spend the money on KERDI that you will be spending two months down the road to redo this mess if you stay on this course.:)
You haven't gone too far to change your mind at this point, use KERDI and keep going from here. Otherwise you already need to back up and take some things apart.:yes:
Dear Bud - Thank you for the reply.
1.) So the green board at the bottom there was removed for a period of time. There is no stud in that corner, or any way I can think of to install one. Let me say that I am in a 100+ old home and sometimes is a FREAK show about how it was constructed. There is no runner below that area, it just drops down to the dirt. They literally made that corner out by butting up two pieces of drywall. The other side of that corner is a closet! Ahhh! So, I am not real sure how I will be able to install a stud. I was planing on putting liner over greenboard, then hardiback over liner. I have read this is okay..
2.) Hmm, I guess that is true about the height, so maybe 4 then? I keep getting referred to this link, http://www.ontariotile.com/preslope.html
It looks like (3) 2x4s stacked on top of each other? no?
3.) I was hoping to go around the corner with the membrane and lathe like this link, but where do you get those cool blue corner pieces?
4.) So, I am okay with removing the greenboard and installing 1/2 hardi, but I still have the problem of structure in that corner, which is why I was thinking of putting up horizontal 1/4 inches of plywood, membrane, then 1/4 inch hardiback. That way the hardy can be screwed into something in that corner??
5.) I would like to avoid the Kerdi, since from what I have read it is technically challenging to install, since I am already challenged I was hoping to go the more traditional build route.
The mesh on the curb is fine but you CAN NOT nail it to the 2X4's without damaging the liner. You never penetrate the liner with anything anywhere lower than three inches above the highest point of the finished curb. The liner must be buried under the curb mud and that can get tricky.:)
Yeah, I was baffled by that corner too. Basically I would need to run a stud down onto a paver on top of the dirt in crawlspace below.
Sorry, what I was thinking about doing was hanging 3/4 inch plywood horizontally so that the studs that are there will support it just fine and then the plywood would extend into that corner, creating something to drill into. I have read a couple threads so far where some folks have used the plywood to add structure. What do you think? Then I would hang 6 mil plolysheet over the plywood, then hang the hardiback, probably using the 1/4 inch stuff.

[U.S. OPEN CUP] For the second time in a week, USL PRO's Harrisburg City Islanders took an MLS team to overtime and for the second time prevailed in the Lamar
Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Last week, they came back from 3-0 down after the first overtime period to tie the New England Revolution 3-3 and prevail on penalty kicks. This time, Harrisburg got overtime goals
from Gambian Sainey Touray -- his second goal of the game -- and Zimbabwean Lucky Mkosana to defeat the MLS New York Red
Bulls, 3-1, on Tuesday night in the fourth round.
The City Islanders beat the Red Bulls for the second time in the U.S. Open Cup and claimed its fifth MLS victim.
Harrisburg beat D.C. United, 1-0, in 2007, New England, 2-1, in 2009 and the Red Bulls, 1-0, in 2010.
The City Islanders will face MLS's Philadelphia Union, to which they are affiliated, in the quarterfinals on June 26 in Chester, Pa.

What does code PO29 mean??????? My car just got that codeand is driving poorly, if I get up to 40 mph is acts like it is in the wrong gear, any help?

What does code PO29 mean??????? My car just got that codeand is driving poorly, if I get up to 40 mph is acts like it is in the wrong gear, any help?
Its a problem with the Transaxle shift 'B' solenoid.. i once saw a car with this error code, was wanting $2000. And because of that, evertime i check the dic.. hoping i dont catch the code. Few people on her have fixed them, transmission still in the car, under a few hours too... your best bet would to by the revised ones from the dealership, not sure if they have aftermarket anyways.
search the forums, i think somebody even described how to do it.
edit: sorry, the shift solinoids are controlled by the computer, there are two of them. A & B .. each responsible for certain shifts (1st to 2nd) (3rd to 4th) etc.. gotta go, i can elabotrate if needed
I just got my STS back from the shop . I was throwing a PO94 code which is the A soleniod . Sooner or later your going to need to change them or get them done. From reading threads withthe same problems here I know the dealer would be high for the job. I have no problems working on my own car but didn't feel like tackling this job. I took it to tanny shop that I know has done work for me before and I know dealers take them work . So I knew this shop could handle it. All said and done I dropped the car off thursday afternoon and the next day by 10 it was done. Cost me $345.00 , which I was happy to pay. The Dealer wants from $1300 - $1500 for the same job.
If you feel up to the job do a search for either codes or A-B soleniod replacement. I know there's a few step by step threads on how to do it yourself. Look here to http://www.caddyinfo.com/howto.html you might find something on it . Good luck

i have a 66 malibu that i want to repaint one shade of red darker can i just repaint over the paint thats on there now or do i have to strip all the paint off
corenel, depends on the condition of the exsisting paint and how much bodywork you need. If the exsisting paint is good/fair condition with little or no bodywork or you just don't plan to do any all yu need to do is scuff up the exsisting paint, prime and paint. If their is bodywork to be done its best to strip the paint to at least the first layer or primer layer. If the car has been painted multiple times before it may have to many layers of paint to not strip at least one or two. If you have anymore questions feel free to ask.
someone did paint it before i got my hands on it. the paint is terrible runs,and glossy spots and spots where there is primmer showing,and some areas that i thought they were rust that was just painted over but when i sanded some of these areas it looks like there air bubbles or bad paint body is straight exept for the back panel my lug nuts snaped off then the tire went bouncing everywhere and dented the panel..do i need to sand the whole car then reprimer if so how much sanding and primer
From what it sounds like you'd be better off stripping in down to the first coat of primer, doing the bodywork and dealing with the rust then sealing the body with a good sealer, or just a coat of primer then emediatly paint it. Due to the condition of the paint and thee presence of rust stripping to repair would be best. There will be alot of sanding, hard work and you should get a gallon of sealer/primer because perfect bodywork will take a try or 6.
I paint cars everyday. don't stop at the first coat of primer. I strip to metal, somtimes with aircraft stripper on the hoods and deck because I can easily take them off...it is quite messy, and you must protect yourself from it. other places and times I use an 8 in 2500 rpm polisher with 36 grit, after it is bare metal, polish it back with 180 220 on a da machine. NOW you are ready for 2k primer sealer. Make sure it is primer-sealer not just primer. Some schools say eching primer over bare metal, but not mine.
[quote]Originally posted by Halloweenking:
<strong> because perfect bodywork will take a try or 6.
Damed, I must suck. Sometimes it takes me a dozen times of filling sanding a priming to get it right. Maybe it just seems like that many times...
Point is, I hope you have a lot of time and patience, because without both it will be hard to finish.
I find it a bit tough to stop at the first coat of primer when stripping. If the paint is very thick, it either takes days to remove with fine paper, or some 36 grit. I usually opt for the 36 and just go all the way through and then give it a coat of epoxy primer and then a heavy filler primer. Then wet sand untill you start seeing the epoxy coat. Usually by then all the small scratches from the 36 ar filled. If you have to do body work, do it before priming.

The SIEM-ple way to spot a data breach as it's happening
Last July, the Office of Personnel Management announced it had discovered a huge data breach: The background check records of current, former, and prospective federal employees and contractors were stolen, including 21.5 million Social Security numbers. Like many security breaches, this one could have been averted with the right tools in place.
In its 2012 Data Breach Investigations Report, Verizon found that 84 percent of organizations that suffered a security breach the previous year had evidence of that breach in their logs. Every action your employees — or nefarious outsiders — take generates a kernel of information, which can become evidence of unusual behavior, or a trail of crumbs to follow after an attack to see how it was carried out.
But with so many logs and so much information to sift through, most organizations don't tap the information these logs contain. Continue Reading…

Marcia Cross Gets Dark
We had a little bit of a hot spell out here in Los Angeles, so that might be why Desperate Housewives star Marcia Cross has decided to go short for the summer. She hit up the hair guru and best friend of Eva Longoria, Ken Paves, and was spotted here rocking a shorter, darker do.
Granted, it could be a wig, but either way, I think it looks great. If you look at these pics, Marcia really seems to love it, flipping her tresses around and giving subtle smiles to the paparazzi.

I have 1100 rounds of VL caseless ammo for sale 125.00 plus shipping.
I've been shopping for a rifle on Gunbroker. I'm just too poor right now or I'd buy this ammo.
I've bid on some unfired presentation models. Not all that expensive.
Interesting story on how they had to stop making them.
What the hell is .22 caseless? I never heard or seen that before
One of the first caseless firearm and ammunition systems produced was actually made by Daisy, the airgun maker, in 1968. The V/L Rifle used a .22 caliber (5.5 mm) low powered caseless round with no primer. The rifle was basically a spring-piston air rifle, but when used with the V/L ammunition the energy from the compression of the piston heated the air behind the caseless cartridge enough to ignite the propellant, and this generated the bulk of the energy of firing. The Daisy V/L Rifle system was discontinued in 1969 after the ATF ruled that it was not an airgun, but a firearm, which Daisy was not licensed to produce.[10]
I found this very interesting. I wish I had this rifle,but I don't. Does anyone have this rifle? Does anyone know how much these rifles are going for? Can you even find them anymore?
pm sent
carnut I never got it
I will send it again but bottom line how do you need to get paid for these
Where do you live?

Gym machines offer the attraction of distraction
By Dorene Internicola
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Modern cardio machines come with so many bells and whistles that it's routine to watch a favorite movie, scale a virtual mountain, or share gossip with Facebook friends while getting fit at the gym.
But what do you push to maximize your workout?
Josh Lyon, of the chain of national gyms 24 Hour Fitness, advises his new clients to focus on the fundamentals.
"Learn the arithmetic before tackling the calculus," he said. "For the treadmill, it is generally incline and speed. For the elliptical, it is generally ramp and resistance."
Lyon, who is based in San Ramon, California, said more resistance or speed make muscles work harder, while with ramp and incline changes the emphasis is on specific muscles.
"Once clients grasp how these two work together, they are ready to begin experimenting with the pre-set workouts, intervals and shorter high-intensity workouts. There's a learning curve," he explained.
Education was not an issue for the beasts of burden who worked the earliest treadmills, which were built to harness the power of animals to churn butter or grind grain.
More than 50 million Americans used treadmills for fitness in 2009, according to the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association. More than 26 million used elliptical trainers. Continued...
