Replacing 100 yr old windows
Our house was built in 1906. We are replacing our windows with Pella windows to cut our heating/air bill. Any suggestions on what to do with the old windows? Glass and wooden frames are intact. I have eleven windows.
Do a web search and phone book search for any salvage companies around your area.
These salvage retailers love those old windows that are in good shape for resale value.
There are many home owners and contractors who are remodeling older homes and want to keep the 'original look'. They rely on these salvage retailers... so they can purchase older doors, windows, wood trim, brick, light fixtures, plumbing fixtures, etc....to complete their projects.
Another option is to take a pic. and post on Craig's List..
-2 cents
It will cut down on the drafts like you can't imagine
...I'm not sure of your region in that era, but if they have the lead (or other metal) counter-weights don't just cut them and let them drop
Try and salvage them with the windows
I just had the upstairs windows replaced. It's unreal how quiet it is now. And what a breeze to open them! And I can actually clean them now! I wish we'd done it sooner. I can't wait to see my heat bill go down (or, eh, I mean, not get any higher).

Anyone know of any good garages in North London for servicing (indy I guess in terms of price...)
Whereabouts in N London?
I'm in Finsbury Park, but anywhere round here...
There is a place in Barnet called BMERC. I've heard they are pretty good from my friends .
avneet07 (24-03-2011)
I usually use a local garage, they dont advertise as bmw specialist but they have really good knowledge of bmw audi and mercedes.
depending on what your after and know what you want done, I use this local garage just near cricklewood. They are really cheap, i usually pay about 25-35 labour for a service including fuel filter, oil change, engine flush, fuel filter air filter cabin filter spark plugs and anything else that you could class as a service, also brake pads are usually about £20 for all 4. Obviously you provide parts but I think the labour is really good. Also the last time I checked they wanted £50 for a gearbox oil change. Also when I had my old polo a few months back it was only £80 for a brake servo change when everyone else wanted £200 and they did a fab job.
If you know what you want they are a good place and never let me down yet.
Try http://www.cooksferry.com/ in edmonton. I originaly found them via ebay whilst looking for some parts for my e46. I took my 330 in for a diagnosic and they pointed out the fault before testing it, then showed me the diagnostic printout confirming their observation. They had my car running superbly in no time and at half the quoted price of the main dealership!
I'll be using them for my next service!
really good garage
german car specialist
bit pricey but worth it
called buchanan motors.... on camden road nw1. can't miss it if you live in finsbury park.
Highams Park Motor Company are very good - in Highams park (between Chingford and Walthamstow). Been taking my E46 330ci there for several years.

Anyone been to the Venetian (Las Vegas) recently? I'm looking for restaurant suggestions. I usually have 1 or 2 mid-high to high priced meals and then the rest average priced.
Anyone been to the Venetian (Las Vegas) recently? I'm looking for restaurant suggestions. I usually have 1 or 2 mid-high to high priced meals and then the rest average priced.
Keep in mind that the Venetian and Palazzo are connected and the Wynn is a very easy walk just across the street. I ate at Batali's Carnevino recently and it was quite good. Some of the dishes were true knockouts, some were just good.
I would heartily recommend Bouchon for breakfast, though their dinner and oyster bar is great, too. However, I have been several times for breakfast and it is always delicious. The location is beautiful and is one of the few casino restaurants that doesn't feel like a casino restaurant.
If you are renting a car (a smart choice in Vegas), definitely checkout Chinatown. It is only a few blocks west of the Venetian and there are some great izakayas. If you like Thai, Lotus of Siam (a car or cab would be needed) is great and the chef recently won a James Beard award, not common for Thai, but well-deserved.
Try to make your way south on the Strip and check out some of the great restaurants at The Cosmopolitan and Aria (where I work, so am totally biased). At Cosmo - Milos, Scarpetta, Jaleo and E by Jose Andres would be my preferences over some of the other Venetian restaurants.
I hope you have a great trip and be sure to let us know how the food is!
Many years ago, when we had taken a vacation to Las Vegas, we had lunch at a steak house called the Gold or Golden Steer. The rare filet mignon with Bernaise and the rare sirlion my husband had were so tender, we did not need knives ... So, it is possible the same Chef and / or Restaurateurs are still running it.

Seeding new yard
I have a new yard to seed. I've already installed an irrigation system. There is some "junk" grasses and weeds already established. Because of drainage my landscaper recommends seeding over the junk stuff, allowing the grass seed to get started with minimum wash away. The new grass will chock out the junk. After the new grass is established he could come back with specific herbicides to knock out any remaining junk. The alternative is to herbicide before seeding. But the spring rains would probably wash the seed away. I can not afford sod.
Anyone agree, disagree, have experience recommendation.
Do what he says, if you apply herbicide now the new seed will not germinate.
Hyrdroseed. It will cost much less than sod and establish faster than either conventional seeding or using sod. The process is great for holding seed to slopes and preventing runoff. In fact its original claim to fame was achieved by highway departments using it to seed very steep embankments. Check online or in the yellow pages for local contractors.
Hydroseeding involves mixing a slurry of seed, fertilizers and a mulch all in a tank. The slurry is sprayed on to form a crust that seals the seed to the seedbed and keeps weeds out. All you need to do is prepare the seedbed and keep the hydroseeded crust moist until the seed in it germinates.
Do remember the seeds in the mix will germinate at a different rate. Perennial rye, for example will show in 7 days or so while bluegrasses and fescues may take up to 21.

15+ Time-lapse Photography Videos
- Published by
- Posted on
- 3 Comments
Time-lapse photography is a cinematography technique whereby the frequency at which film frames are captured (the frame rate) is much lower than that which will be used to play the sequence back. When replayed at normal speed, time appears to be moving faster and thus lapsing. For example, an image of a scene may be captured once every second, and then played back at 30 frames per second; the result would be an apparent increase of speed by 30 times. Time-lapse photography can be considered to be the opposite of high speed photography.
In time-lapse photography images are taken at different time intervals and later combined to play the sequence back. If you are interested in shooting a sunset or clouds moving,set your camera to capture 5pics every 1 min interval which can be later combined to get a beautiful video of clouds flowing or sun setting fast. To capture Wood decay or plants growing you may need to capture images for weeks with a longer time interval between each shots.

Hello All,
I have a Waltham hunter with a Dennison Moon case. It is marked "Made of two plates of 10ct gold with plate of composition between".
Looking on the web there are various opinions most of which suggest that this is gold plate or gold filled.
The plates have no hallmarks.
To my simple mind "Made of two plates of 10ct gold" means made of 10ct gold.
Am I wrong and was this clever marketing by Dennison?

It could work if it wasn't so close to the actual "for dummies" series. Try recreating the "idea" of the book with different guy and modify the title area to be similar but not the same.
changelingfey wrote:Mmkay, speaking as one of the ladyfolk, I must let you know that this is not one of the shirts I'd worry about being a "boob shirt." There are certainly shirts out there where the design would be obscured, or taken in the wrong way (though admittedly I've never had it happen), but this isn't one of them. If this prints I will buy it with no hesitation whatsoever.
If you say so. I just get leary when I see two like objects that are placed opposing one another on sides of a shirt. I have a couple of little sisters who frequent this site and they may not realize until too late that they have purchased a boob shirt. If you say that the placement won't be an issue, I'll have to take your word for it as I am not chunky enough to have moobs to test out the theory myself should this print.

"I think if he has a chance to play in the NFL, that's where it'll be," Coach Mark Richt said.
Nick Jones, a 6-foot-3, 295-pound senior from Bowdon, started five games at center as a true freshman but moved to guard for his sophomore and junior seasons. He has started a combined 24 games there the last two years. (Among current Bulldogs, only offensive lineman Dan Inman has more career starts.)
Jones always was an oddity at guard, a guy who's never played heavier than 300 pounds at a position where that's considered dainty. Consider that his fellow starter at guard last year was Max Jean-Gilles, who topped 350 pounds. This year's projected starters, Chester Adams and Fernando Velasco are north of 320.
"I guess a more prototypical position for a guy my size would be center," Jones said.
Opponents, and even new teammates, tend to underestimate Jones because of his size, said defensive tackle Ray Gant.
"He plays above what you see," Gant said. "He's definitely not one of the biggest guys on the field, but he definitely has one of the biggest hearts. He's going to claw and battle, and he's not going to quit. Nick's a little Tasmanian devil in there."
Jones also fits the intellectual and leadership requirements at center. The risk management and insurance major was chosen by Richt to represent the Bulldog offense last month at SEC Media Days, a sure sign that Richt didn't want to throw one of his four quarterbacks into the fray but also of Jones' status in the locker room.
"Nick is our leader offensively really," Richt said. "He's the strongest guy we've got right now as far as a guy who's kind of earned the respect of his teammates from the very beggining."

Europe's carmakers ready cuts to emulate Detroit
By Laurence Frost
PARIS (Reuters) - Europe's volume carmakers are returning from summer breaks with their sleeves rolled up, ready to shut plants and lay off staff in what many see as an overdue push to cut costs as their U.S. counterparts did three years ago.
In 2009, when the United States rescued General Motors (GM.N: Quote) and Chrysler from bankruptcy on condition they close plants and slash jobs to rebuild profits, European governments responded to a slump in vehicle sales by offering car firms aid to do the opposite - maintain employment levels in the hope of a swift recovery.
Three years on, and with no sign of an end to a European economic crisis that has crushed demand for cars in core Mediterranean markets, French and Italian makers, along with GM's German Opel unit and Ford's regional division, face less resistance from politicians and labour unions as they present cuts as an alternative to risking outright collapse.
Governments, including the newly elected Socialists in Paris, no longer have funds to bail companies out, and some union leaders are calculating that cuts now can save more jobs later - though few expect workforces, which have in some cases already been substantially eroded, to take plant closures quietly.
But American auto consultant David Cole said he expected major restructuring to get under way as Europeans faced the choice to "sacrifice a battalion in order to save a division".
"Everybody has decided this is the right time to make structural changes," said Cole, a former head of the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
"When they see that a company could disappear with all its jobs, they may realise it's better to lose 20 percent."
Factory closures are no longer the "taboo subject" they were when the industry faced the first wave of crisis after 2008, said Laurent Petizon, a Paris-based director for consultancy AlixPartners, which advised GM on its state-aided turnaround. Continued...

"Work Christmas Dinner Party, Excellent night out!"
Reviewed 21/12/13
I organised a work christmas dinner here for 25 people and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their night. The service from all the staff was excellent, food of a high standard, and everything went so well, a really successful night all round!

Fantastic hotel - great rooms, fab staff!
Reviewed 16/12/13
- Stayed here f/or 1 night on business in Dec 2013 and I have to say that it was an amazing experience. Its located in Belfast City Centre in a quiet side street just off the Lisbourne Road - near to City Hospital.
First impressions were really good. Very stylish lobby and very welcoming staff.
The bedrooms were stylish and contemporary with lovely bathrooms - excellent shower and very comfortable beds. One little nag was the wi-fi reception in my bedroom was very weak. In fact I didn't actually manage to get online. Some of the TV channels didn't work occasionally. If I was here for more than one night on business I would have asked to move to a room with better wi-fi.
Breakfast was excellent - really excellent. I had an omelette that was perfectly cooked as was the full Irish breakfast that my colleague had. I also had lunch and dinner there and both were amazing. Especially lunch were I had the deli option - which was delicious.
Staff were perfect - friendly, helpful and very efficient.
Summarise: A perfect city centre hotel, very reasonable price with great staff and amazing food. Recommended highly!
- Room Tip: Ensure your bedroom has good wi-fi access. Try the deli at lunch!!!

"Family lunch in comfortable surroundings"
Reviewed 21/12/13
We managed to get a last minute booking for a family lunch on Friday 21st December even though the hotel was really busy with christmas parties both in their restaurant and function room. The events team reserved the 'Study' for us which was a private room to the right upon entering the hotel.
Our party of 10 were more than comfortable in this room which was beautifully decorated and found it intimate and cosy. Even though we were away from the main restaurant area we were so well looked after by the staff as they were very attentive and efficient, nothing was too much trouble for them, they were outstanding. The food was also very good and menu prices were reasonable.
Thanks to the events team, namely Naomi for taking our booking at such short notice and to the excellent staff who served us on the day. We would highly recommend this hotel for a family setting for lunch / dinner as it is one of the few hotels in Belfast that make you feel so welcome and is comfortable to spend time in without being rushed.

CREATE Health - A Strategic Centre for Translational Cancer Research
CREATE Health is a Strategic Centre for Translational Cancer research mainly located at Medicon Village in Lund. The Centre is funded mainly by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research, Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation and VINNOVA. By integrating clinicians and researchers from Lund University Hospital with researchers from the Faculties of Medicine, Natural Sciences and Engineering using a superbly equipped and integrated "omics" platform, concentrated in a single area, a centre unique in its kind has been created.
The vision of CREATE Health is to use an integrative approach to develop novel diagnostics and therapeutics, based on identified markers and molecular signatures and to create a substantial social impact for the patient, through direct application of research for selection of an optimal, individually-based, cancer treatment.
Some of our most important achievements
- Discovered new genomic breast tumor subtypes on whole-genome patterns of DNA aberrations
- Discovered specific DNA methylation patterns in different subtypes of breast cancer
- Discovered a prognostic gene expression signature from sub-classification of HER2 amplified/expressing breast cancers
- Identified protein signatures that define five main types of breast cancer
- Identified serum biomarker signatures that allow risk classification of breast cancer patients regarding tumor recurrence
- Identified an association between the expression of EPO receptor and Tamoxifen response in breast cancer patients
- Discovered SOX11 to be a novel histological marker for mantle cell lymphoma forming the basis for an improved clinical diagnosis
- Identified SOX11 as a potential tumor suppressor gene in mantle cell lymphoma and ovarian cancer
- Designed a novel serum-based clinical test for ovarian cancer, which makes it possible to distinguish between benign, malignant and 'borderline' cases
- Identified HIF-2a as a therapeutic target for tumor stem cells of neurally derived tumors
- Discovered serum biomarker signatures that identify pancreatic cancer, forming the basis for an early diagnostic test
- Identified gene expression subtypes with correlation to prognosis in stage IV malignant melanoma
- Developed a method to monitor the state of DNA repair pathways, which opens up for defining targets for therapeutic interventions
- Developed a high-throughput and sensitive protein affinity extraction platform, which directly interfaces with MALDI. This offers new means for rapid screening of biomarkers in complex biofluids.

I have about 1200 photos on line at DT and practically all are for advertisement. But when I click on contributors portfolios, I see many editorial images. I just got back from a trip to France. Do any images of say, a prespective shot of the Arc de Triomphe with the Champs Elysees on both sides sell? What is the ratio of editorial to commercial sales on DT? Maybe I've been ignoring photos because I can't get 250 model releases or a property release to the Empire State building!

Wouldnt that make it a SBR, and subject to NFA regulations? If so, I want no part of it.
Honestly, I wouldnt trust that thing in a life & death situation. My pistols work just fine, without some "universal" thing put on it.

Convert Any Full-Size Pistol into a Carbine - USA Carry
"Sig Sauer has introduced a simple device to convert ANY full-sized railed pistol (up to a 5-inch barrel) into a carbine… easily, quickly, and inexpensively they say. It is called the SigTac Adaptive Carbine Platform (ACP). The information says it works with a Sig, Glock, Smith & Wesson M&P, Springfield XD/XDM, 1911 and other full-sized pistols."
This sounds like a great idea for people on a budget and also for a nightime solution. Convert your EDC to carbine before you go to bed, and then have a more secure method for handling your gun if you're rudely awakened in the middle of the night.
I see it advertised on Amazon for around $230. I haven't seen any other info on the product until today. Does anyone have it or have you seen other reviews?

Wouldnt that make it a SBR, and subject to NFA regulations? If so, I want no part of it.

Based on the design my biggest concern would be dealing with malfunctions. When I opened the article it seems that the author had the same concerns. You can obviously manipulate the slide, but unless you practice a lot it would likely be different enough to cause problems. For that reason alone I would opt for a dedicated platform. Just my $0.02.
Besides the other concerns noted, this is going to convert the pistol to an SBR and so will require that Form 4 and the 200.00 bucks and whatever else goes with that. You wouldn't be able to use it with any other pistol, either. Seems to be more agin' it than 'fur it.
Si vis pacem, para violentus.
There are two versions, one that comes with a stock (SBR) and one that comes with a sling point not an SBR (unless you put a vertical foward grip on it) ATF has "ruled" that an angled grip is not a foward grip.
weekend pre-apocolypse nomadic warrior, leather duster and all.
In the SIG community, the #1 question asked is......why?
I have no idea why anybody would want one.
To me these are pointless as is .. I rather havea 16inch upper with a real barrel for my handgun then this ... Most of these were made for country with different guns laws .. Like isreal where it is near immposible to get a long gun but you can own one hangun and something like this.
That said as others said this is not NFA till you add a stock or AOW with a foward grip
or to sum it up best TTAG :
In the end, I'm left scratching my head as to the ultimate utility of this gizmo. Street price is about $310 for the standard model with a $110 up-charge for the Enhanced version.
Who is going to use it? Well, aside from a SIG whore like myself who will likely plunk down their cash for just about anything they make (yeah, I'm still trying to rationalize that 716 rifle I picked up a couple of months ago – like I really needed another .308), I'm not sure who would want one. As I noted earlier, if you want the benefits of a carbine, the Kel Tec Sub 2000 seems to make a lot more sense and you get a full gun for about the same price.
Another issue is that unless you own a SIG, you can't be sure that your will fit this thing. It was clearly designed around the P220/P226/229 railed form factors and will likely work best with those guns only. Everything else is a crap shoot."

Every network needs a security policy that provides both guidelines and guidance. But exactly what items should such a policy include?
Every company is unique and has different network infrastructures and security needs. But there are 10 policies that need to be included in every network-security policy, no matter the company's size, scope or focus. Here's a quick rundown of key items to include.
1. Root Security Policy: This item establishes the policy document's framework. It also serves as the policy's table of contents, directing readers to sections covering specific policies and programs. This item should also describe a general security policy — basic rules that cover all company networks and data.
2. PC/Workstation Policy: This section should describe the company's monitoring policy, as well as acceptable and unacceptable uses. This section should include business activities, personal use, the types of hardware and software that may be added to the system, password procedures, data-protection practices, data-encryption requirements, data-backup practices, software uploading and downloading, and the types of data that may and may not be shared with co-workers and business partners or taken off-site.
3. Server Policy: Given the important role that servers play at most businesses, it's vital to establish specific policies for their deployment, configuration, management and protection. This section should cover all servers — including those for email, FTP and HTTP systems — and specify who is in charge of each system and that person's (or team's) specific tasks and responsibilities.
4. Email Policy: This section presents policies related to acceptable personal and business email uses, handling of suspected spam and malware, attachment prohibitions, account configuration, access procedures, email retention and deletion, permitted client software, and content practices (what users can and cannot include in their messages), as well as the company's email-monitoring policy.
5. Web-Access Policy: This section covers what employees can and cannot do when accessing and using the Internet, including approved browsers, required browser settings, Web-surfing practices, restricted and banned sites, acceptable and banned browser add-ons, and rules concerning the access and use of copyrighted materials.
6. Remote-Access Policy: This item is a must for any business with telecommuters and other employees that connect to the company's network from off-site locations. This section should include remote-access qualification requirements, account privileges and restrictions, permitted and prohibited activities, acceptable client hardware and software, wireless-access guidelines, password-management information, and the conditions for granting network access to nonemployees (such as business partners).
7. Mobility Policy: This section covers issues related to mobile devices such as laptops, PDAs, media players and portable storage devices. How are company-owned mobility devices assigned? How can these devices be used? What can't they be used for? How are employees responsible for securing mobile systems and their data? Which personal devices can be used on company premises? Which personal devices are banned? These questions should all be answered by the mobility-policy section.
8. Wireless Device Policy: Wireless devices are highly useful, yet they also pose a major security threat. This section, which builds on the company's mobility policy, should cover which wireless devices are permitted and prohibited, as well as acceptable and unacceptable usage practices. Enterprise network-connection procedures, permissions and practices should also be covered in this section.
9. Internet Gateway Configuration: Any device that interfaces with the Internet must be configured to protect the enterprise network, as well as its devices and data. This section should describe all relevant devices, including switches, firewalls and routers, as well as their settings, required protocols, usage policies, acquisition guidelines and management practices.
10. Incident-Response Strategy: Fires, storms, earthquakes, hacker attacks, system failures and terrorist incidents can strike any business. This section should describe the procedures and practices that go into effect when disaster strikes. The text should describe the individuals authorized to declare an emergency (including phone numbers, email addresses and physical addresses), as well as the steps that should be taken in the event of specific types of incidents, such as contacting public-safety agencies, lawyers, senior management, technical staff and so on.
While creating a security policy is a lot of work, the document can spare your business untold amounts of future agony by ensuring that critical information is always safe and readily available to authorized users.

text: I was driving home from denver and there was an rx8 behind me on one of the back highways and then the road changed into a two lane. We went at it and he couldn't keep up until about 125 where my car topped out because i can't push the pedal in all the way because i get a fuel cut at wot in fifth gear. Definately time to get some new injectors to feed the 16G and get the car tuned. Oh, i forgot to mention, the race was from about 60mph where i was in fifth gear because the three-four shift fork is broken. It was a good race and I was kinda suprised how hard he passed me after i topped out.

text: Now, that's a good if not great story on its own, but there could be more to it. The simple math of high commodity prices multiplied by greater acreage means good things for farm income. Generally speaking, when farm incomes are high, farmers tend to replace ag equipment. That has me eyeing the shares of Deere ( DE), Agco ( AGCO), CNH Global ( CNH) and a few others. Add to this the rebound in construction via the housing market and the prospects for Deere and CNH both look promising. One final note, per commentary from Deere on ag industry March retail sales, the sales and inventory figures paint the picture of an improving landscape for ag equipment sales. While one month does not make a trend, a number of other supporting data points make these two companies worth looking at.

Whether the world likes it or not, programmers are people too. They eat, drink, sleep, dream and work just like everyone else. A programmer looking at the St. Louis Arch will almost certainly see something that is taller than it is wide – just like everyone else. Even when it is known that the arch is as wide as it is high, the eyes tell a different story. We cannot help the illusions we fall for.
I have written about the inevitability of certain types of illusion before – in particular purely logical illusions. Illusions that exist solely within our minds, not requiring aid from senses such as sight or hearing.
Reading the always-interesting Steve Vinoski and the perennial subject of RPC and its inherent flaws, it occurred to me that perhaps RPC is an example of a programmer's illusion. A fallacy that our minds trip us up on. Something which, like the St. Louis Arch illusion, is not amenable to correction by the mere acquisition of knowledge to the contrary.
There has to be some reason why a technique long known to have severe problems in engineering terms steadfastly refuses to go away. Perhaps this is why. Other explanations have been put forward. Steve argues cogently that the sheer convenience of RPC over-rides our higher faculties where we worry about correctness, reliability etc. Programmers are people too. We like our creature comforts and RPC sure is comfortable.
It must be said to that, being human, we can be suckered in by snake oil. We so want RPC to be okay that we will spend money on things that claim to make it reliable. Wizards that utter "Shazam!" over our systems and make the head-hurting issues just go away. Gosh, wouldn't that be cool?
My favorite explanation for the resilience of the RPC illusion is something I have also written about before: linguistic determinism. If you train a programmer by exposing him or her, day in day out, to a set of languages that are all based on a complexity management technique called (variously) a procedure, a function, a method, it can hardly be surprising that their world-view rotates around that notion. You invoke one of these things. You don't worry about the details of what goes on inside. When it finishes, your code keeps on trucking. Very convenient.
Perhaps therein lies the biggest question for twenty first century computing. Is the very concept of a function/procedure/method the root of our ills? Do we need to back up the truck and admit that the simplicity of the function idea – borrowed from mathematics – can only be pushed so far in a distributed, asynchronous, unreliable (not to mention pernicious) world?
It seems to me we are at a crossroads that curiously mirrors the situation in physics. The synchronous, reliable function call paradigm works brilliantly in the small but doesn't work in the large. In the large, time is complex and relative. Einstein rules. In the small, time is simple and absolute. Newton rules. We know that absolute time is an illusion but it works most of the time.
It is convenient but not correct, just like RPC. Is "most of the time" good enough?

- - Who will lose their title next? (http://www.mmaforum.com/ufc/104270-who-will-lose-their-title-next.html)
Who will lose their title next?
JDS vs Cain in Dec, Bones vs Hendo in a few weeks, Silva fighting in 2013, GSP vs Condit in Nov, Bendo vs Diaz on an unannounced date, Aldo I believe doesn't have a date yet, and Cruz still hurt?
Who loses their belt next? I think if Jones can beat Hendo then it will be GSP, as I think Condit wins.
My guess is Bendo. I think (hope) Diaz is going to force him into uncomfortable waters and get the win. That weight class just has so much talent I think it'll be hard for anyone to be as dominant as the other classes.

Bendo via stockton slap.
2nd place is JDS. As much as I like JDS I think Cormier could beat him. That fight is a ways from happening tho. Cain can beat him, but I don't think he will.
One I want most is Hendo delivering the H-Bomb upside Bones' dome. That would be great.
Not counting Condit in here. I say Bendo, 209!
JDS vs Cain: Cain this time will try to go with wrestling with JDS, PROBLEM is JDS is very powerful on the ground too. Cain will fail again to JDS. JDS is going to stay there for a very long time. Honestly I can't see any opponent wining JDS neither striking nor wrestling.
Bones vs Hendo: Hendo has 0.00000001% of wining Bones. This guy is almost flawless. The only guy came close to him was Loyoto because of his illusive style. Hendo has nothing similar to that. He's going down for 100% sure.
Silva: will retire without loosing the belt. I think he will wait for Weidman, but the new kid has to go through another fight, and Silva will be waiting for him. He will shut his mouth for sure. Funny is Weidman says that he has ground game and Jiu Jitsu. Problem is how dumb he is to think like that. Hendo is a wrestler and got chocked out by Silva, and Sonnen is a wrestler too, and also got submitted by Silva. People just want to fight the guy, so they add to their resume that they fought that LEGEND!!
GSP vs Condit: I really really wish Condit does it this time. Its disgusting to wait all that time for GSP! Condit is a very good and clever fighter, he will continue to give us WAR!
Bendo vs Diaz: This bendo guy will bend to Diaz, he will get submitted 100% sure of that. The lamer won by decision against in my opinion "Frankie" is the greatest lw fighter today. I wish you get back to the TOP Frankie, you really deserve it.
Aldo and Cruz are very tough guys, and I don't see them loosing their next bout. I know they have nothing scheduled yet, but regardless of their opponent, they will not loose now.
I would love to say Hendo will KO Bones but it's unlikely, still it's Hendo and all he really has to do is land that H Bomb and he has 5 rounds to do it.
Cain has a good shot at JDS
Barao will beat Cruz
Condit will lose to GSP unfortunately, although it doesn't matter that much because Erick Silva will take the title at the back end of 2013
Aldo won't lose til he moves up, then Frankie will be champ. I don't think Frank can beat Aldo.
Nate has a great chance to beat Bendo, he has the best jits in the division and is arguably the best striker aswell (Pettis also has a case).
Anderson isn't losing.
While I think that it is very possible that Diaz could sub Bendo people seem to be taken it for granted...
You need to remember that Bendo has some GREAT sub defense as well... The fight will be very interesting to say the least. It's a toss-up in my book :)
But if Bendo wins and Cerrone wins one more we could have Bendo vs. Cerrone III which really tickles my fancy ;)
IF Bendo beats Diaz I'd say JDS (Overeem)
BTW I remember I made a thread for people to bet on the next champ to lose his belt right before JDS fought Cain... That crap was expensive to say the least :p
Junior, Bones, and Aldo aren't losing anytime soon.
Anderson may vacate the title or retire soon.
GSP probably is the most likely to lose due to his injury.
If Cruz comes back like he was before, I think he beats Barao but an ACL injury might really **** with the way he fights.

Culture at the Crossroads
He Will Come Again In Glory to Judge the Living and the Dead
This World is not Conclusion.
A Species stands beyond.... ~ Emily Dickinson
One of the enduring questions among all peoples, a question illustrated in myth and story, sacred text and ritual, is the question of what happens when we die. In the Christian and older Jewish traditions, the answer to that question evolved over the thousand-or-so years of biblical authorship.
The Jewish scriptures are ambivalent on the question: in some places (e.g. Gen. 37:35; Job 7:9; Ps. 6:6), death is a movement to Sheol, where there is no remembrance of God. By the 2nd century, though, there is faith in a resurrection and judgment of the dead.
Many of those who sleep
in the dust of the earth shall awake;
Some to everlasting life,
others to reproach and everlasting disgrace (Dan. 12:2).
The souls of the righteous are in the hand of God,
and no torment shall touch them.
Chastised a little, they shall be greatly blessed,
because God tried them
and found them worthy of himself.
They shall judge nations and rule over peoples,
and the LORD shall be their King forever.
But the wicked shall receive a punishment to match their thoughts,
since they neglected righteousness and forsook the LORD (Wisdom 3:1, 5, 8, 10)
In Jesus' time, as we learn from the New Testament, there was division over this question of resurrection of the dead between the Pharisees and Sadducees (see Acts 23:8; Mt. 22:23; Mk. 12:18). Jesus' own position becomes clear in the gospels. Of the many so called eschatological discourses (statements about the end of the world), perhaps the most memorable is that of Matthew 25.
[Jesus said], "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit upon his glorious throne, and all the nations will be assembled before him. And he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will place the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. Then the king will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.' Then the righteous will answer him and say, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? When did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? When did we see you ill or in prison, and visit you?' And the king will say to them in reply, 'Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.' Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, a stranger and you gave me no welcome, naked and you gave me no clothing, ill and in prison, and you did not care for me.' Then they will answer and say, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or ill or in prison, and not minister to your needs?' He will answer them, 'Amen, I say to you, what you did not do for one of these least ones, you did not do for me.'"

Deck Over Living Space Repair *PICS*
Hi All, first time poster here but I've used the site plenty in the past. :thumbsup:
Pics tell more than words, so I've added plenty to describe the situation. We have a deck halfway over our breakfast nook and halfway over an outside overhang. We live in So. CA, so we don't get much rain, about a week a year, but this last rain we filled up a couple 5 gallon buckets inside the house, from water leaking though the ceiling. :eek: (We just bought the house earlier this year).
Here is the deck without the railing:
Look at these cracks!
What the deck looks like:
It was constructed with concrete on mesh, and then some sort of epoxy over the concrete:
Which led to this: :eek:
Water damage on the sheetrock. Of course there was a TON of mold, so I cleaned all that out. Joists are still in good shape though.
So I looked around and did some reading, and it seems that this should have been built using a sloped joists, with plywood on the top, a layer of EPDM, and then sleepers with rubber pads placed on top of the EPDM. The water then just runs through the boards and across the EPDM, and off the roof.
However, there isn't ANY slope at all to the deck. I would add the 1/8" slope, but at 10' that amounts to 1 1/4", which I don't have between the bottom of the sliding door:
So I'm not sure how to tackle this. I could build it the same way it was originally built, and replace it again in 10-15 years. The house is 25 years old, so I guess it lasted this long. Luckily we don't get much rain here, like I said only a week a year or so.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Here is a great PDF describing the deck over living space construction:
Basic image of a deck over living space, properly constructed (which my deck isn't):
It looks like you could get the required space by removing the bottom molding from the door frame. Many times sliding doors don't use that anyway. Make sure you install new flashing against the house to the top of the new EPDM to prevent water penetration there.
if you do not slope it properly you can be back in the same place.
per Section R905.12 of the 2009 International Residential Code (basis for the California Building Code) requires that thermoset roofing (EPDM is a thermoset roofing material http://www.nrca.net/consumer/types/thermos.aspx) have a minimum 2% slope or 1/4" per foot. You can verify this requirement with your building department.
R905.12 Thermoset single-ply roofing. The installation of thermoset single-ply roofing shall comply with the provisions of this section. R905.12.1 Slope. Thermoset single-ply membrane roofs shall have a design slope of a minimum of one-fourth unit vertical in 12 units horizontal (2-percent slope) for drainage. R905.12.2 Material standards. Thermoset single-ply roof coverings shall comply with ASTM D 4637, ASTM D 5019 or CGSB 37-GP-52M. R905.12.3 Application. Thermoset single-ply roofs shall be installed according to this chapter and the manufacturer's installation instructions.
Can you raise the height of the door to facilitate the proper construction of your deck? if so you can install a platform on the interior side. just a thought ......
I was planning on reusing the existing flashing since it's bonded with the stucco, and I didn't want to risk damaging the stucco. In the image below, it shows the flashing underneath the EPDM. Is that incorrect? The plan was to nail the existing flashing down to new plywood, and install the EPDM over it.
Just curious, is this construction anything like you've seen in the past? That isn't to code, correct?
Thanks for the help guys. Your input, plus a good nights' sleep, and I think I've got a good game plan.
I have a flat roof that is being re-sloped in a similar manner. The roofers I hired are using Isoboard (aka Isofoam) to make the slope. It is a rigid foam product that tapers in thickness. You put the isoboard down, then install the waterproof coating over that. You get a nice flat roof with the proper pitch, and an added benefit of some extra insulation.
Any idea where you get the Isoboard from? Thanks for the input! :thumbsup:
make sure if you put down EPDM membrane to attach strips of the membrane onto the bottom of your sleepers so that you have membrane to membrane and not wood to membrane. patented is correct on the sloped isoboard.
could also consider a vinyl membrane product that you can walk on directly, would eliminate sleepers. http://www.duradeckinc.com/
I think I'd like to go with a deck. Seems like it'd look nicer.
You will have to google where to buy it. I think you can buy it direct from the manufacturer.
I took a look at that product and came to the same conclusion.
Thanks! :thumbsup:
sorry, wrong link ......
Looks like a good system, and it would save time on large applications. But for my 10' x 21' area, the need to buy the hot-air gun to weld the sheets together would probably be too expensive.
I called the local Home Depot and they should be able to order the Isoboard. They're going to get back to me with the pricing.
sorry you're having to go through this .... I know it's not a fun project!
post back with any questions

I found this set of 9 postcards which I found in a house clearance. They are all miniature versions of quite rare Polish Theatre production posters and also come with an information pamflet in Polish. They were made in 1978.
I don't really know much more about these and was wondering if anyone had any information on them? This is also the first time I have come accross them.

Blue Spruce Brewing opens in Centennial to a packed house
Opening day.
Blue Spruce Brewing Facebook page
Blue Spruce Brewing, serving Mexican food, pub fare and beer made on the premises, opened for business on Saturday at 4151 East County Line Road, in Centennial.
Owned by former biology teacher Rick Kane, Blue Spruce opened with eight of its own brews (although some have already kicked), including honey kolsch, pale ale, red ale, brown ale, IPA, Golden Strong, doppelbock and apricot blonde. It was also pouring from twelve guest taps and serving a limited initial menu.

Blue Spruce Brewing Facebook page
Kane couldn't be reached for comment, but the brewpub's Facebook page reported that Blue Spruce "was packed, standing room only for about 10 hours straight yesterday. The party continued until just after 11pm, when we had to ask everyone to make their way out. Thank you so much for coming out to our first day."
Last August, Kane told Westword that he planned to feature "Mazatlan-style" Mexican fare using fresh vegetables and very few fried items. He also said that he'd been picky about the location, looking at traffic counts and age demographics." He picked Centennial because there aren't many other breweries nearby.
Blue Spruce can seat about 220 people and will feature a patio. Hours are Monday to Wednesday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Thursday to Saturday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.; and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

There were spiders all over the room, including in the bed. No one was at the front desk the whole night to potentially switch rooms or have maintenance clean it. When I asked I for a refund, management's exact response via email was "To find some spiders or ants or similar in your room is not nice but also nothing special. Changing the accommodation for such a minor issue is up to you...we would not refund you." It's in a bad area of town, not clean and has terrible service.
