sealing & insulating beam & batten walls from 70's
decided to try another thread with changed focus from previous, since it did not seem to be going anywhere. here's the situation.
Thanks to Hurricane Isaac, I have stripped walls down to the stud and will be installing new insulation and wall coverings for a house (camp/cottage) built over a low crawl space. The house is the proverbial sieve, with siding nailed directly to the framing members (no sheathing of any kind, no house wrap, no drainage plane), in a beam/batten arrangement. The gap between the batten and house are open to the exterior at the bottom of the walls and there is no caulking/sealing of battens on beams such that one can see outside along a good number of these seams.
A few knocked out knots and cracks in the siding (cedar) adds to the "holy cow, this is ridiculous" nature of the beast--wasps have built nests inside the wall cavities. And let's not even get into the attic yet--hardly any insulation to speak of and ceiling joist areas that open directly into that un-conditioned space. I'll address the latter issue asap, but that won't happen until the place is made habitable again, which starts with building walls (well, a sink and cabinets would be nice too).
My general question: what would you do to insulate and seal these walls? I'm considering rigid foam, either cut into the cavities or just laid on top, sacrificing some floor space. or maybe a spray foam, but haven't had luck in figuring out how well that might deal with the moisture management of unsheathed walls subject to high heat & humidity (built within 100' of navigable water), frequent thunderstorms,etc of southeast Louisiana.
ps sorry to make a new thread of this, but the other title/general direction of thread didn't convey my basic question: how to insulate and seal this old camp and deal with moisture management in tropical climate. thanks
btw, I'd be happy to do some "further reading" on this if anyone can recommend some sites/materials, but I've come up pretty empty on searches and real-life experience, since not too many people rip open the walls for a retrofit.

Epic Battle on NBC's "The Voice" [Video]
This is INSANE! Last night on NBC's The Voice, two members of Team Cee Lo Green stepped into the Battle Rounds and laid out a version of Mariah Carey's "Vision of Love." This is CRAZY GOOD! It brings the crowd and all four judges, including Blake Shelton, to their feet!
Subscribe to WBKR-FM on
While Cee Lo had an impossible task of choosing a winner in this round, he ended up choosing Trevin Hunte. But, because of this year's twist with the "steal," the other three judges were vying to scoop up Amanda. While Blake was definitely in the running, Amanda eventually chose to sing for Adam Levine's team.
Though she lost her Battle Round, Amanda Brown isn't going anywhere. And I have a feeling that she and Trevin will be in line for another epic showdown on this season of The Voice!

I would reckon its more personal preference and shooting ability than an inherent accuracy advantage between the two rounds.
I understand that the 44 Special and before that the 44 Russian were popular with target shooters because they had a good reputation for accuracy in revolvers. Recently, I came across a comment from someone claiming that the 44 Magnum is inherently a more accurate revolver cartridge than the 45 Colt. Can anyone provide any real data or real experience comparing those two in revolvers?
I would reckon its more personal preference and shooting ability than an inherent accuracy advantage between the two rounds.
Probably has more to do with oversize cylinder throats on .45 Colt revolvers than anything else.
Bullets have their own inherent accuracy.
After that, accuracy depends on several other components -- powder characteristics (burn rates, case fill, measuring consistency), gun characteristics (rifling twist, jump distance, cylinder gap), brass (case thickness and length, crimp), and primers (ignition consistency, heat, burn).
Bullseye's -- very seldom is a bullseye a perfect shot. More often than not, a bullseye is just a matter of compensating errors (heart beat, breath, wind, stance, hold, trigger squeeze, and thinking about the girl shooting next to you). The more you control these variables through consistency, the better your accuracy will be.

"The strongest reason for people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." - Thomas Jefferson
The only experience i have in that regard is shooting my SAA Colt 45 and shooting 44 mags out of an anaconda,ruger and S&W.
I never really compared the group results. The barrel lengths are different, the sights are different,the designs are different so it wouldnt be much of a comparison.
With certain loads, my SAA shoots a nice tight group even with the small nonadjustable sights. The Anaconda shot the tightest group of all the guns. The first 3 shots oout of the gun were all touching at 25 yards.But it depends upon the loads I am shooting etc..
Now if someone had Anacondas in 44 mag and one in 45 colt with the same barrel length,then that would be worth comparing groups size with various loads. Maybe they could come to a conclusion that one seems to be a tighter shooter than the other.
Maybe someone here has both 45 colt and 44 mag anacondas and has done some testing?
Lockup and alignment is where the accuracy of the gun is. The shooter can make a great gun into a poor shooter and vice-versa. I would venture a guess that crunching the ballistic figures might give an edge to the magnum but I've never witnessed anyone shooting a paper target match with full-house magnum loads. Pistol steel matches the magnum shines because of a flatter trajectory. My guess is that historically the .44's were used because of a lighter recoil and a heavier revolver - but that is just my opinion. During the 1930's the .38 midrange wadcutter was the ticket due to the light recoil and it was somewhat the standard caliber of law enforcement. I could be wrong and it may be the .44 was popular just like bell bottom pants in the 60's! I would like to know the answer as well.
I have a Colt Anacondna 6 in. in 45. It really likes .454 diameter bullets but have had luck with the Lyman 452454 Kieth bullet unsized (.452-.453) and a hotter than SAA load. I wasn't having much luck using .452 bullets except for a very light load of 700X and a 200 SWC. I have done very little with jacketed bullets for cost reasons. The only 44 mag. revolver I own now is a Ruger Superblackhawk and it shoots everything well including lead bullets that are .430 or bigger. So from my experience the 45 Colt CAN be accurate but it takes more load developement than most 44 magnums.
Of all the guns I have, By far the best made and most accurate is Freedom Arms. The downside to 454 and 44 mag is the recoil if you have small hands. The 45 Colt is good in that matter. Many men can put the first shot on target but after that few do as well. A brused and bloody hand is no fun.
I would hazard the 44 Magnum would have better intrinsic accuracy than the 45 Colt as it was developed from the premier target cartridge of the 19th century the 44 Russian. The projectiles have as much to do with accuracy as any other factor and the 44 240 gr bullets are supremely accurate. The S&W N frame revolvers are pretty darn accurate, too, at least the older ones from the 70's and prior. YMMV

The Power of the Pickleback
FEW DRINKS INSPIRE skepticism quite like the pickleback, the cult Americana-inspired whiskey shot whose signature ingredient can be a deterrent to the uninitiated.
The drink—a slug of whiskey followed by a bracing chaser shot of pickle brine, poured straight from the jar—has gained popularity in the U.S. in recent years as a novel way of making mediocre liquors more palatable.
Now the dive-bar staple is catching on across...

Brooklyn Park MN implements home inspection ordinance.
All Brooklyn Park Minnesota homes listed or offered for sale after September 15th must be inspected by city housing inpsector. This rule applies to all residential buildings, including single family homes, duplexes, townhomes, and condominiums, or any other kind of residential dwelling. The application fee for inspection is $150.00.
What is different about Brooklyn Park's point-of-sale housing inspection? Even if the property does not sell, any reported deficiencies must be corrected, even if the house does NOT sell!
What will the city housing inspector be looking for?
- unpaid fines
- unpaid utility bills
- junked cars
- faulty plumbing systems
- faulty electrical systems and fixtures
- improper venting
- improper sump pump drains
- junk vehicles
- inadequate smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
- inadequate egress windows
- heating system deficiencies
- water heater deficiencies
- deficiencies in floors, walls, ceilings
- roof problems and venting problems
- deficient laundry venting
- structural problems
- sanitation and pest issues
- problems with stairs and rails
- peeling exterior paint
- unpermitted work
The city of Brooklyn Park believes this measure is necessary to ensure public health, safety, and welfare. The inspection report is not to be construed as any kind of warranty, and homebuyers should still rely on their own private inspector. More information about the new Brooklyn Park home inspection rule can be obtained from Jim Hilgendorf at 763.488.6379.

A massive, massive disappointment. Yes, we are spoiled by Apple, but it's a company that aspires to be the biggest in the world! New CEO, four more months of waiting and raging speculations, and we're presented with a minor upgrade. The specs are great - make no mistake - but it's on par with the competition, and they're available for months already.
If that is underwhelming, don't even bother looking at new Nano update. I'm sorry, but it's laughable. 16 new clocks, bigger icons, and that's it? At least they made a price drop. Oh my... only Apple can get away with it i guess.
In some ways Apple has to be applauded for retaining the design of the original iPhone 4 despite it's flaws mentioned above considering the many companies who've based their various cases and accessories on it.
The new voice recognition service while impressive still seem little more than a gimmick, especially when features such as social network integration would have been more welcomed and as shown on WP7 with it's 'People Hub'.
All in all the stage seems more set than it has ever been for Nokia to make their entrance with their upcoming WP7 devices.
If this was released in June then I think they would of gotten away with a 4S device but almost 4 months later, competition and expectations have increased. Samsung and Sony are making huge strides in terms of specs alone. 4S is not a big enough upgrade imo compared to 3GS was to 3G, 3GS was miles faster then 3G so justified the extra cost, 4S at the moment doesnt warrant another 24 month contract IMO.
So close Apple, yet so far!
4S...it IS pretty disappointing. But i think whats more disappointing is the price: $400 for the 64gig WITH a contract! Apple could've at least give us more memory for the usual prices.
And the saddest thing of all... i still want one.
I think Engadget shows this off best; They have a comparison table between the iPhone 4.1 and the Galaxy S II, the Droid Bionic and HTC Titan.
The Galaxy S II wipes the floor with all the others in all but a couple of points. Maybe that's why Apple is going on the offensive so much against Samsung, they knew that even their newest and latest device is STILL behind the competition and the S II was released "ages ago" by technology standards!
I think this is what happens when you sue your major supplier. It will take them a while to get ahead of the curve again.
The announcement is definitely a disappointment for all those wanting to see a new hardware design, but in some ways doing an 'S' version like they did with the 3G makes a certain amount of business sense. The iPhone is still very popular and there's no compelling reason to use up that R&D expense prematurely: they can launch the iPhone 5 next July.
With regards to criticism of disappointing CPU, I'm not sure how relevant it is. Surely it's the software that matters and how it actually performs? Let's not forget that a possibly significant proportion of Android apps are not natively coded but actually run within a virtual machine, likewise Windows Phone 7. Without a genuinely useful benchmark to compare across platforms, these CPU comparisons are somewhat meaningless. You might just as well compare a 3.6 litre 473bhp Porsche 911 Turbo to an 8.4 litre 600bhp Dodge Viper SRT-10.
I must admit with it been such a long time, I was expecting more. Will I upgrade?, I think it depends on what reviewers say about the the Camera.
It pains me to say @frank makes a good point about keeping the design the same, especially since this is just an S version.
Was there not some EU law coming in that all new smart phones had to use the same charger connector.....hmmm
Just off the top of my head mind you I could be completely in a parallel universe where common sens ideas happen
I think people have been spoilt by Apple and need to get a grip. I don't need a super computer in my pocket or a 32inch monitor for that matter. I just need a phone that works. I'm an Android (HTC) user, I made that decision over 12 months ago, and when my contract is over I'm hoping on over to Apple. Why? Usability. Simple as that. I like the styling of the phone always have, always will. I don't care about the technology in the screen or CPU Speed or the number of pixels in the Camera (as it takes more than that to produce a good picture). I want a phone that's enjoyable to use, not frustrating, and apple offer that experience. The hardware isn't key, it's the software and Apple have that down to the T, Android are way behind with a poor user experience. The only thing I can see as a features I'd like to see are NFC and conductive charging. Increased screen real-estate would be welcomed too, but not at the expense of overall phone size. Maybe these will be apart of the iPhone 5. Who knows. What I do know is that sometimes too much choice in the combination of hardware and software can be a bad thing. Keeping it simple like Apple do with limited products can be reassuring to the consumer and a good thing.
"Galaxy S II wipes the floor with all the others" haha, not really.
Plus there's a few missing points in that table, namely 3D performance (a clear win for the 4S) and number/quality of apps that actually use all that power.
I'm disappointed not to see an iPhone 5. I had hoped that, given how many of Apple's competitors now feature large screens in increasingly svelte bodies, Apple would have bitten the fragmentation bullet and increased the screen size a little.
Apple may have shot themselves in the foot with the Retina display in this regard, as finding a supplier for a large, super hi-res screen might be challenging. Samsung, perhaps? :)
Are still people spending hundreds of money to buy "smartphones"?
Yes? Really?
It's 2011 and i thought people should know by now how dumb these phonies are.
What's happened to the 50+ comments flame threads of old? :'(
P.S. It's a worthwhile upgrade on the inside. Some people need to stop whining about the name and design (not necessarily refering to here - check Twitter). It's also more aimed at those with a 3G/3GS who never upgraded to the 4.
P.P.S. Not that I care, I'm still drowning in Nokias :P.
I am actually quite glad that Apple haven't been goaded into rushing out massive leaps in design etc. To me they appear to be responding to the constructive criticism of previous devices without getting dragged into the wish list oneupmanship specs of many other manufacturers which I think demonstrates a more mature company. Clearly it won't attract diehard Android fans or the budget conscious but it consolidates on what they must clearly believe is a stable and solid device (iPhone 4). Taking a bit more time over these things can make the difference between novelty and useful real world tool. As another poster has said I think this is aimed more at iPhone 3/3GS folk who felt the 4 was too soon to upgrade and as long as they keep developing iOS it will encourage a more natural progression rather than abandoning customers through a sprint like lifecycle. You only have to look at how fast Android and Android devices are superseded to see how risky a strategy it can be for the consumer who can be left holding a semi defunct unit within a matter of months.
As an iPhone 4 owner with 6 months left on his contract - I'm quite pleased about this in my own selfish way. It's not enough of an upgrade to make me think my phone is out of date (not that I'd rush out and get out of my contract just to have a new one if it did.) So it's got more graphics power that won't be realised properly by apps for months, a slightly better camera and a clever voice control system that you wouldn't dare use in public anyway. Glad they've kept the glass & steel materials because this is still the most premium feeling phone out there as I've stated before - compared to the creaky plastic Android masses. It might not be the most comfortable- but then that's what the bumpers are for - you can still take it off and marvel at it if you want to ;-)
@drdark, lol! I think you can blame the "improved" TR site for the volume of comments in threads like this. Though one upside, it does seem to have filtered out a lot of the extreme "Appley fanboy/ Apple hater" comments!
To me it feels like a similar step up that the Ipad 1 to Ipad 2 was. I don't see it as a massive disappointment or a major step forwards either. Middle of the road evolution.
This phone was very predictable. Which is a shame but I guess it is impossible these days for Apple to produce products on this scale with out the details sneaking out. I had a stab at guessing what we might get back in April and was about spot on.
Take a bow sir, you did indeed get it pretty much spot on!
The Phone will now doubt sell well.
However the IPhone no longer leads the smartphone market, the Samsung Galaxy S line does (no wonder Apple is fighting it in the courts).
Not increasing the screen size is a mistake, however if they did that they could no longer call it a retina display with out dramaticaly increasing the pixels count, which would mean Apps would need to be changed again.
Putting in a dual Core chip was a good move should increase battery life as well as giving App developers more computing power for the next generation of Games/Apps.
The IPhone 4S looks like a catch up to Android's Highend devices while being much more expensive.
I can understand why some people are dissapointed.
As an upgrade, I'll be happy trading up from a iPhone 3gs.
Apple have never done the monumental leaps... it has not happened for any of their others lines, so why should that change for the iPhone? Android phones have large screens.. larger screens.. big screens.. and what else? There is only so much that can happen with a device to fit in the pocket on an annual basis. After all, I change macs maybe every three years - and only out of greed, really - as my old MacBooks work (albeit slower yet) fine.
When an android phone is built with the build quality of an iPhone, I may be interested.
Apple never said they were going to release an iPhone 5.
Everyone assumed they would.
Everyone was wrong.
Your disappointment is your fault.
They made another iPhone, NOT a new iPhone - judge it on that, not your assumptions.
Not having Flash should be under pros. Not having some crappy banner hogging my phone's resources is something I am really happy with. The fact that it urges site-builders to stop using flash on websites is a second positive thing. ( no more crappy banners on my laptop too.. :-))
All products have a life cycle - take the ipod for example where it is clear that it is on the downward curve where its best and most profitable days are behind it. The mighty iphone itself that was once at the top of the curve for so long, is fighting for customers amongst a mass of smart phones that have caught up (from a hardware perspective).
Even the richest of companies have a finite amount of resources for R&D and perhaps they are focusing their priority on the new tablet market that they are currently dominating. Focusing on iPad3 would make much more business sense as currently their competitiors are still way behind the curve. Apple have a great opportunity to push on from the great lead they have created. Even if they had brought out an iphone 5, Apple would be launching it up against a much more competitive android market than in the past. They probably realise that the golden age when they used to dominate the smart phone market has come to an end.

"Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat"
Family & Friends,
During my ministry in Rwanda books for the Kigali Kollection kontinued to kome in. I returned to 35 boxes piled in my office. One book consisted mainly of quotes from Winston Churchill. Here are my favorites:
"I cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma."
Before WW2, "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat."
"I have only one purpose, the destruction of Hitler, and my life is much simplified thereby. If Hitler invaded Hell I would make at least a favorable reference to the Devil in the House of Commons."
"Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire last for a thousand years, men will say, 'This was their finest hour.'"
Lady Astor reportedly once told Mr. Churchill that if she were his wife, she would poison his coffee. He replied, "If you were my wife, I'd drink it."
"A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject."
"Democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried."
"If you destroy a free market, you create a black market."
When Churchill was defeated in the elections of 1945, Lady Churchill told him, 'It may well be a blessing in disguise.' He replied, 'At the moment, it seems quite effectively disguised.'
He once was sleeping through a long, boring speech in the House of Commons. The speaker noticed him and asked loudly, "Must you fall asleep when I am speaking?" Churchill answered, "No, it's purely voluntary."

Broncs Home Friday
LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ—The Rider University women's soccer team will host Mount Saint Mary's University Friday at 4pm on the Ben Cohen Field.
The women's soccer team is 22-8-4 at home since the 2009 season began, including 1-0 this year and 16-7-4 since the turf Ben Cohen Field was built.
This year the Broncs (1-2) have been led by the play of senior forward Jennifer Meier (Sayville, NY/St. Anthony's) and junior defender Becca Kape (Westfield, NJ/Westfield), along with freshmen midfielders Heather Maierle (Wantagh, N.Y./Friends Academy) and Priscilla Santos (Glendora, Calif./Glendora).
Meier has two goals and an assist in her two games played this year after missing the first game with an injury. Meier ranks fifth at Rider in both career goals (20) and career points (50).
Rider beat The Mount 1-0 last year in Emmitsburg, Maryland. The last time MSM came to Lawrenceville the Mountaineers won the 2011 season opener, 1-0. In their only other meeting, Rider and MSM tied 1-1 in 1997, Rider's first year of varsity status.
This year The Mount (1-3) defeated UMBC 1-0 in the season opener but has lost the last three games, to Bucknell (2-0), Temple (1-0) and at Towson (4-1).
Weather permitting, all home soccer games are streamed on BroncVision, the pay per view video stream of Rider Athletics.
GameWatcher (LiveStats) will also be available for free on the website for all home games and most away contests.

waterproofing new tub
Hey guys Im remodeling my bathroom and its a total gut and rebuild. I'm about ready to install the tub but have a few questions i want to make it as waterproof / water tight as possible. I'm going to be tileing inside the shower. this is what i plan on doing please help me figure out if what i'm doing is ok or if i need to make changes. I plan on installing the tub than installing a plastic vapor barrier directly on the studs behind than I plan on installing cement backerboard, and than i plan on installing a waterproof membrane on top of the backerboard like (LATICRETE Hydro Ban) or (Red Guard) something that can ust be painted on and than I plan on installing the tile directly over that. How does this sound I want to make sure it's as water proof as possible any help or pictures would be great
30lb Felt paper over the studs would be better/more durable than plastic. I see no need to apply a second membrane over the backer board. It might actually cause some adhesion problems over time on the wall. For added sealing, use a good sealer over your grout and you should have a well built shower wall.
You reference both a shower and a tub in your question, so I'm unclear as to the floor of the project.
Hope this helps, :thumbsup:
Waterproofing the board is the best insurance you can get---backer board and tile are not water proof---
Some water can and will get behind the tile--so waterproofing the face of the board is the best plan---
Sealers do not waterproof the grout---their only purpose is to make the grout less likely to stain---
The floor will be a tub I just call it a shower out of habit lol thanks for all your input I like the idea of the waterproof membrane (red guard) on the backer board but if I go that rout is the barrier or felt on the wall needed or even a good idea at that point what else can I do to help this issue ?
When you waterproof the face of the board--no vapor barrier is needed on the studs---
That is considered a double vapor barrier and is not good---
Ok thanks for your help now what about insulation do I need to install it ? the tubs on on interior wall but is butted up to the exterior wall normally aren't you suspost to have a barrier when you install insulation. Thanks for you help this will be my first bathroom
I agree that a surface membrane is by far the best way to go and never use both surface and plastic or tarpaper over the studs. BTW, tarpaper is not a waterproofing, nor is it a vapor barrier. At best it's a vapor retarder, it's permeable.
In the case where there is faced insulation for an outside wall, I would simply slash the facing and let it breathe.
Vapor barriers are a very confusing subject and their use can vary by location. Where you live might matter, so a call to your town's building department may help.

Motorola Inc. unveiled a slim smart phone with a QWERTY keyboard and Microsoft Corp.'s Windows Mobile 5.0 at its analyst conference on Monday night, but details of the company's mobile music deal with Apple Computer Inc. are still waiting in the wings.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Ed Zander showed off the Q smart phone at the Motonow event Monday night in Rosemont, Illinois, monitored via webcast. It has a design similar to the popular Razr clamshell phone, though without a hinge, and should ship in the first quarter of next year, said Ron Garriques, executive vice president of Motorola and president of mobile devices at the company. The Q will include Bluetooth, a one-handed navigation thumbwheel and a 1.3M pixel camera with flash, according to Motorola.
The sales forces of both companies will market the handset to enterprises, said Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, who joined the meeting via videoconference to help announce the device.
Zander and Apple co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs announced at the conference last year that consumers would be able to download music to Motorola phones via a mobile version of iTunes in the first half of 2005, but that offering has yet to hit the market. Zander tried to reassure analysts by reading a prepared statement Monday night.
"We're not going to launch the iTunes phone today, Steve Jobs is not going to jump out of a cake, and we're not going to launch it tomorrow," Zander read. "... but it's real and it's happening. Stay tuned for iTunes."
Motorola followed up last year's announcement of the Razr by unveiling an expanded Razr lineup as well as a variety of other upcoming handsets and other products. One of the new Razr models is a UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) version, scheduled to ship at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
Zander also showed off the previously announced Pebl line of phones, coming in the third quarter, which have a smooth, rounded clamshell design and can be opened with a tap of the finger, and the Slvr line of slim "candy-bar" style phones, coming out worldwide in the fourth quarter. He also demonstrated the Razrwire, a Bluetooth headset on a pair of sunglasses, developed along with sunglass maker Oakley Inc.
Among other highlighted technologies were the following:
- a video voice-mail system for the company's Ojo Personal Video Phone
- Whole Home Media, a technology that will let consumers send saved video programs from a Motorola digital video recorder to multiple devices around a home, including mobile devices
- a wireless broadband product portfolio called Wi4, to be based on the emerging IEEE 802.16e mobile WiMax standard and positioned as the fourth generation of wireless mobile technology for carriers.

Curtains, Anyone? The Latest Attention-Grabbing Hotel That Offers Too Much To See
By Terry Trucco
It seems the Standard High Line NYC isn't the only big city hotel to serve up rooms with unexpected views – for those looking in.
Over the long summer weekend images from the 25 Hours Hotel Bikini, a new, 10-story hotel in Berlin, burned up the internet and landed in The Daily Mail, Fox News and Deadstate.org. For unknown reasons, the architect behind the hotel's Monkey Bar restaurant planted the toilets and urinals flush with the floor-to-ceiling windows. The result: no privacy for guests at a private moment.
The hotel, whose buzzwords are "real place, real people," touts its "first-class views of the city and the Berlin Zoo" on its website. Passers-by also get an eyeful, as a slew of gone-viral images attest.
The hotel seems almost gleeful about the fuss, much like the Standard back in 2009 when word got out about the antics you could see through the hotel's floor-through windows.
According to reports, a warning sign has gone up saying, "Please be careful, not only the monkeys are watching." But frosted glass would do the trick, as travel blogger Barb DeLollis suggests. So would a sleek version of that old hotel stand-by, sheers.
3 Comments »
LOL I think she was the one after the attention
This does seem a big step beyond the Standard. There, you have a choice whether you want to be an exhibitionist. Not so in Berlin.

Well said. Thanks, Jeff.

I'm currently finishing up my presentation for the Internet Retailer Conference & Expo in June: I'll be presenting on the non-US marketplace options for brands as part of the global eCommerce track. In preparation for the session, I've had a chance to catch up with a number of established global online marketplaces for brands as well as agencies helping to develop some of the marketplace storefronts.
While many North American and European brands are familiar with local marketplace players, it's worthwhile highlighting just a few key marketplace options originating outside of these two regions:

This is totally the obligatory I-got-some-free-rum-so-I'm-posting-a-100-word-"recipe" post. It's also the obligatory I-got-a-comped-meal-with-a-gift-bag-so-I-must-give-it-away post. Yes, I'm that good.
Shellback is owned by Gallo companies, so it isn't some artisanal, hyper local rum that the local hipsters are so into these days. On the other hand, Shellback's spiced rum does carry a whopping 12 variety of spices, so this particular hot alcoholic goodness was immediately on my mind when the bottles of rum arrived. The Cocktail Enthusiast has a brief, but informative write-up on both. No doubt he also received the same grand case that everyone did:
The only deviation from the standard mulled apple cider recipe is the addition of a apple spice herb tea. In addition to the cloves/cinnamon stick/orange peel, the taste and the cloudiness which the tea bag adds. Not sure why, but feel free to give it try. And since warm "cocktails" is all the rage these days, peel the orange, flame the peel and its oil a bit, then rub the peel onto the rum of mug. It beats just killing the cider with orange peels
PS310 Gift Card Giveaway:
Public School is the extension of the Daily Grill/Grill on the Valley empire. I like a few things here: giant tater tots, the lamb burger, and beer.

So leave a comment below for a $15 gift card, typically good for at least two beers and a snack during their happy hour (aka: recess). One (un)lucky person will also get a USB memory stick. I don't even know how many gigs it has, but again, it's free, don't complain. Be sure you use an account with a viable email address so you may be contacted successfully if you win.

Yes you'll need a mounting rail.
You bought a great gun.
You'll really enjoy it.
I just acquired a Buckmark Camper for target and fun shooting. I may get a red dot scope for it (Cabelas has the Bushnell Trophy which gets good reviews).
I am fairly new to pistol shooting. Will I need to mount a rail on the gun to mount a scope?
Yes you'll need a mounting rail.
You bought a great gun.
You'll really enjoy it.
+1 eliewolfe
They are very accurate
Be prepared to be asked to shoot your .22 when you go to the range.
Everybody asks about my scoped .22 and wants to try it.
It's great fun.
You want to buy a high quality rail - don't scrimp on this.
I bought mine from Tactical Solutions - : (866) 333-9901 = The Buck Mark Integral Rail incorporates the rear sight into the rail - this rail has the adjustable rear sights cost $65.00 - I talked talk to either Lon - Keith.
With this high quality rail almost any optic's will fit on it.
Good luck, it's loads of fun.
Agree I don't want to scrimp. Browning has this scope rail on their website...$35.00. Any reason why that would not do the trick?
Buck Mark Scope Base, 22 buckmark rifle scope base bases ring rings, Browning Shooting Accessory Product
This is the red dot I have in mind (I am a real Cabela's fan and have some points I can use):
The rail will work, but you wont have a adjustable rear sight for the times you want to shoot w/o the rail on.
At least it doesn't look like it.
The only thing I can say about any scope is that you need to figure out how close you can zero it in and how close can you focus it.
The rail is available at Midway USA. Prior post is correct about not having a rear sight with the rail attached. I looked far and wide for a rear sight that would mount onto the rail and work with the gun but have come up empty.
If you look at my original post - my rail has the rear adjustable sight.
I'd suggest you buy one with the rear adjustibale sight.
It'll save you a lot of taking the rail off & on. IMHO
NO offense to those who want to scope this gun, but for me I can shoot this gun at 50 yards and place my shots in the same hole all day long without any optics. I am 63 years old with less than perfect eyesight and this gun is by far the most accurate shooter I own.
@ Dsig1
I think you're asking when I'm using the iron sites? What's my sight picture?
I don't know
Since I put the optic's on I've never used the iron sights .
Everyone enjoys the optic's so much, I've never taken them off since installing them.
I'm sure I will some day, but not yet.
Boy, do I have a long way to go! I'm new, but I'm only doing 4-5" groups at about 15 yards with my Buckmark. Methinks its time for a shootin' lesson! It would also help if indoor ranges weren't so damn dark and I could actually see the iron sights! A Hi-Viz front is in my near-term shopping list.
On a really good day on my part, consistently putting 10 shots (from a rest) into a quarter sized hole or smaller, at 25 yards is possible with either line. All my Rugers have passed my informal "shoot a penny off-hand at 50 yard" test, but none of my Buckmarks have yet. Since most sane people don't try to hit a penny at 50 feet off-hand, much less 50 yards, this isn't usually a concern for most, but it does show what a Ruger can do.
This guy says the Ruger is even MORE accurate. Sheeesh, I need one of these!

She is so rude! NOT professional. Seems like her ego is bigger than her care for her patients.
Merchant Reply February 18, 2016

What is the Worst Case Scenario?
Fighting the FEAR Within Mindful of My Mental Challenges
I was in panic mode; I was very restless; sleep was eluding me and that coupled with other issues I had been having, meant nothing short of danger. Danger especially for my fragile mental and emotional well-being; a well-being already made very fragile by the sudden and very painful demise of my fondest and dearest sibling brother after 18 grueling years with epilepsy and mental disorders. I constantly reached out to mum and it was then that she asked me the question which sparked this other memoir of mine. What is the worst case scenario she asked? After several exchanges with her and with my shrink and another close friend, I began to layout what makes up the content of this memoir. It is my journey of fighting the FEAR within. I came to learn of two different definitions of FEAR; Fold Everything and Run or Face Everything and Rise. I recently came across another one; False Emotions Appearing Real. Yes, I largely have fought FEAR pretty much all my life and, in most of its dimensions. I think and know we each have too. Yet, I believe and hope that sharing my journey in my usual candour, and yes without fear or favour, shame or stigma, may help someone else to realize they are not alone in their own "inner fights". I hope many come to realize that the 'worst case scenario' often gets that worse first in the mind, but that with help and positive thinking, we can win such 'fights'.
You are cordially invited to the Twin Launch of My brother's Journey from Genius to Simpleton and the Gbm-em centre for epilepsy and mental well-being in Cameroon.
The event will take place on the International Day of people with Disability. We often consider only those with a physical impediment as beingdisabled. It is high time mental illness got the equal attention as physical illness. Both are challenging and disabling.
Even venue: City Hall Buea South West Region
Time: 1 pm
RSVP: His Excellency the Governor of the South West Region
In August 2014, when I was back home to burry my brother, two significant events took place. Primo, I was a guest, one of the first of its kind, to be invited to the famous national radio show FrankTalk, to speak on Mental Health in general. I ofcourse drew from my late brother's journey and mine as well.
On the ocassion of the launch of my second memoir: My Brother's Journey from Genius to Simpleton, there will be free kindle downloads of my two books. I hope they make a goodread.

I was delighted over the picture of the old Shelby, Iowa, school! I found it doing a Google searches of images for Shelby, because I am trying to coordinate a proposed museum in Shelby that will be in the school building that replaced the one in your picture. The current building is a beautiful, large building that hasn't been used as a school for several years now (sat empty), and now a foundation is in the process of taking it over to save it from the wrecking ball. If you have any more information pertaining to your picture or the relatives of yours who lived in Shelby back then, we would LOVE to hear about it. We plan to make the museum include the whole town (and the nearby town of Tennant), as well as the school.

Nineteen seasons ago Larry Rachleff became the Music Director of the Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra. He also serves as Director of Orchestras and holds the Walter Kris Hubert Chair at Rice University's Shepherd School of Music in Houston. During his career, he also served as Music Director of the San Antonio Symphony.
Two recent reviews about Larry: Music Director Larry Rachleff, a superb conductor with seasoned leadership skills, conducts everything with deep musical understanding. . . (John von Rhein Classical music critic, Chicago Tribune) and . . . make no mistake about it, Rachleff is an incredibly accomplished conductor and an incredibly accomplished musician (OpusColorado.com).
Larry is a regular guest conductor with the orchestras of Colorado, Utah, Indianapolis and Kansas City, with recent appearances at Charlotte, Ft. Worth, Columbus, Houston, Rochester, Florida, Grand Rapids, Seattle and Phoenix, among many other fine orchestras. Larry has led subscription weeks in Rochester and Buffalo, among others, and will return to the Juilliard School. In February 2013, he brought the Shepherd School Symphony Orchestra on an East Coast tour, culminating with a performance at Carnegie Hall. His summers are spent guest conducting at the Music Academy of the West, the Aspen Music Festival and School, where Larry served as guest director of their summer conducting academy, the Sarasota Music Festival, the Chautauqua Music Festival and the Grand Teton Festival. Other summer festival engagements have included Tanglewood, Interlochen, Brevard Music Festival and Opera Theatre of Lucca, Italy.
Especially noted for his rich and productive rapport with orchestra musicians, the Salt Lake Deseret News noted about his recent appearance with the Utah Symphony: His interpretation (Prokofiev's Fifth Symphony) was charged with power and passion that never waned. His reading was compelling, yet he also managed to bring out the lyricism that lies hidden beneath the boldness of the themes. What was especially remarkable, he conducted the work from memory.
A former faculty member at the Oberlin Conservatory, where he was Music Director of Orchestras and Conductor of the Contemporary Ensemble, Larry also served as conductor of the Opera Theatre at the University of Southern California . He has conducted and presented master classes all over the world, including the Chopin Academy in Warsaw, the Zurich Hochschule, the Sydney and Queensland, Australia conservatories, the Juilliard School, the New England Conservatory and Royal Northern College in the U.K.
Larry Rachleff is an enthusiastic advocate of public school music education. He has conducted All-State orchestras and festivals in virtually every state in the United States as well as throughout Europe and Canada . He has also served as principal conducting teacher for the American Symphony Orchestra League, the Conductors' Guild and the International Workshop for Conductors in the Czech Republic.
As a dedicated advocate of contemporary music, Larry has collaborated with leading composers including Samuel Adler, the late Luciano Berio, George Crumb, Michael Daugherty and John Harbison, among others.
In May 2013, he was awarded an honorary doctorate from Roger Williams University, for which he is very proud. Larry Rachleff lives in Houston with his wife, soprano Susan Lorette Dunn, and their young son, Sam.
"Rachleff has made it clear in the past that he has a knack for this music, and Saturday . . . he proved once again that he can make Shostakovich sing. He managed to bring out the darkness as well as the sense of upliftedness. . .there was a cynical edge to the second movement's dances, and a deep sadness to the gorgeous slow movement. Here the strings sounded full and silvery."
FRANCISCO NOYA has served as Resident Conductor of the Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra for 18 seasons.

Hey just wanted to see who has a Rex in my area. I live in San Mateo in the Bay Area. Maybe we can meet up to check out each others cars and chat!
San Jose here. Would be awesome if there were monthly meetups or something around here, but I haven't seen anything about that.
Not too far! Yeah I haven't heard anything yet. I think people in San Bruno meets up but it doesn't seem like anything big.
I'm down here in South Bay (SJ) as well
Cruised for a little while with a gray 06/07 STi in San Jose. Should start a mini meet around there.
San Jose as well! What's everyone running so I can figure out if any of the Scoobies I see around are you?
I've got a stock '13 DGM 5-DR base with a subaru roof rack and a surfboard rack attachment on it. Rear is fully debadged.
San Jose as well too!! I've got a stock 13' swp 5 dr base hatch. Semi debadged rear. Left subaru and wrx decals on. Just got in a minor fender bender. Old lady in Prius cut two lanes over causing me to almost t bone her. Still hit her and now my left side bumper is scratched up
Mine is a black '07 sti, totally stock looking with turboback exhaust. Finally flashed the Cobb stage 2 map onto it, unfortunately there arent many places near me in san jose to jam around safely :|
Shall we organize a san jose meet for one of these days? I may be moving to palo alto in november, but I should be here a little while at least.
damn no one near by san mateo! =]? hahaha im down to meet up in sj or nearby
I'm down for a meet! Don't know any good parking lots though, I've been looking for one since I got the Scoob though, haven't really had a chance to break traction or anything!
hey guys, i'm from Milpitas. Dont own a wrx/sti yet. Waiting for the new model. Can't wait to get the car and join you guys a meet
Anyone down for a meet this Sunday evening? There are parking lots (although not apt for funsies) pretty much everywhere. I'm partial to somewhere Campbell/Los Gatos/Hwy 17ish.
I missed the 20th, sorry! This week could work, or next weekend?
Hey guys, I'm from SJ. I just bought a 2014 WRX. I'd like to suggest we could do a pre meet, then drive to fremont for the monthly Canibeat gathering. Unfortunately my car won't be delivered until October 28th. Hope to meet you guys soon.

I'm in the Humble area and looking for some like minded women to socialize with. I am married with 2 daughters (7 and 4). I currently work as a fourth grade teacher, and will be starting to try for baby number 3 in July.
Hi Crkirby,
I live in the loop. I have a 10month old and am finding it hard to meet people as well.
feel free to PM me for details, but there is an AP playgroup that meets inside the loop as well as out west (katy-ish) tuesdays...as well as other things in between!
Hi, I live in Houston too, and while there are some fun-sounding groups out there, I can't find a way to meet other working mothers of small children (i.e., I can't take my 15-mth old to a group during the day, monday thru friday). Anyone know of things going on during the weekend? Its hard to meet other mamas! I live near memorial city.
Hi! I just moved here from Santa Fe, NM (I live in Kingwood, NE) and I am having an incredibly hard time finding like-minded people to hang with too! In Santa Fe, EVERYONE I met cloth diapered, ate organic, was anti-vaccine, etc. so I feel really out of place. Also, I need some recommendations for a midwife, ped, family practice dr, etc. I have a 17 mo daughter and one on the way.
welcome! pm me-- i can give you details on our AP playgroup--
we see dr. nellie grose-- google her....really like her-- she's not just for kids so we can all see her (have only been with the baby so far though)
for midwife-- are you doing a HB or want a BC birth?
rebiowa-- pm me for details on our AP group anyway-- on the list are a few WOHMs that you could connect with :)
I'm in Sugar Land (southwest), so unfortunately not too near any of you. I know there's an active branch of Houston Babywearers up north as well as Central. I lead in Sugar Land. http://www.houstonbabywearers.org There had been some WOHM meetings, too. Join the yahoo group and ask - I'm sure if there's interest there will be more!
Makenzie, for a homebirth, I recommend Paula Davis. She's close to you in Porter. She's assisted at my 3 home births.
HeatherB ~ mama to 3 wonderful boys: 03/02; 09/04; 09/07 - and Eliana, 11/13/10!
Founder of Houston Birth Alternatives: Be Informed, Encouraged, Supported birth support group and aspiring midwife.
There are lots of us around Kingwood, I promise! I work at Merry Go Round - we're a children's consignment store/natural parenting/Medela nursing center with two lactation counselors on staff. We have Smart Mommy meetings 4x/week - Tues, Wed, Fri from 9-11, Sat from 10:30-12:30. There's a great group of crunchy mamas at the meetings and working at the store. You ladies in Humble and KW should definitely stop by - bring the kiddos, there's a play area in the store and the kids all play during the meetings. It's wonderful, seriously.
Mom to DD (5/07), DS1 (02/10) and DS2 (11/11) !

Texas truant students to be tracked by GPS anklets
At least one group is worried the ankle bracelets will infringe on students' privacy.
Linda Penn, a Bexar County justice of the peace, said she anticipates that about 50 students from four San Antonio-area school districts — likely to be mostly high schoolers — will wear the anklets during the six-month pilot program announced Friday.
"We are at a critical point in our time where we can either educate or incarcerate," Penn said, linking truancy with juvenile delinquency and later criminal activity.
Truancy and behavior problems usually mask a learning disability.
All the ankle bracelets and GPS units in the world cannot fix that.
What this will do, however, is make kids think that their learning disabilities are to be punished, and not resolved, which will alienate them even further from the school experience.

Teammates see eye to elbow
Diver Melissa Wu and basketballer Lauren Jackson get the measure of each other after being officially named in the Games team.
Photo: Steve Christo
THEY are the long and the short of Australian female sport, but the pair had something in common when they came side by side yesterday.
Lauren Jackson and Melissa Wu were officially named as members of Australia's Commonwealth Games team.
Jackson, who stretches the tape measure to 195 centimetres, is considered one of the world's best basketballers, and was named to lead the Opals at the Games. Wu, who stands just 135 centimetres, was a virtual unknown until last week when she won the 10-metre platform event at the Australian Diving Championships in Melbourne.
Wu, aged just 13, stunned the diving fraternity when she nailed a double back somersault with one twist last Monday. In doing so she managed to defeat Australia's Olympic gold and bronze medal winners, Chantelle Newbery and Loudy Tourky.
Wu will be the youngest Australian competing at the Games from any sport and, weighing just 28 kilograms, will also be one of the smallest.
"I'm really proud of myself and I can't wait," Wu said yesterday in Sydney, where she met Jackson.
For the past two years there had been speculation on whether Jackson, 24, would compete at the Commonwealth Games or whether a heavy playing schedule and nagging shin injuries would mean she would bypass the Games.
But when the Opals' team was announced, Jackson's name was there to lead a relatively young team.
"We don't normally like to single out particular members of the team, but special mention must be made of Lauren Jackson," Australian Commonwealth Games Association chief executive Perry Crosswhite said.
"Lauren has tremendous demands placed on her time. However, she has once again shown her commitment to playing for her country and we congratulate her on making herself available for selection."

About Me
I photograph full time, shooting mostly product and fashion/editorial. I'm recently returned to the area after working many years in Manhattan. Now I'm running a commercial studio for a mid-size corporation that does print and web here in Massachusetts. It's considerably more work than freelancing, but I'm enjoying it.
I shoot a fair bit of fine art too, but none of that work involves people. I'm looking to do testing with anyone who is interested. I'd like to do more concept work.
I shoot Hasse and Canon, digital and film both systems. I'm always looking for good MUAs and stylists.

: products for shiny gray hair
i posted this a few weeks back in another forum, but thought it was appropriate here.
i've been using
cj cccc
for these past several weeks and it has made my hair very shiny, great curls, even decent 2nd day hair if i chose.
because my hair is dry i use a leave in first, been using mostly cj argan & olive oil as leave in, less than i'd normally use because then i rake in a tiny bit of cj cccc thru bottom of hair, then thru top & sides. (i could just use more cccc and no leave in, but this seems to be working well for now).
after my hair dries i do my usual scrunching in of cj pp.
i really think the coffee oil in cccc is what is making my white hair so shiny.
any other products anyone's had similar results with?
[FONT="Arial Narrow"]
3a, some 2c & 3b, medium texture, porosity normal, low elasticity
washing/cowashing, conditioning, protein tx
: [I] curl junkie products
leave in:
cj conditioners and treatments as leave in
cj aloe fix gel, cj pattern pusha, cj honey butta leave in, cj cccc, cj ciab.

Future Of Retail: Scanned Shoppers
In an effort to reduce some of the guesswork involved in shopping, retailers are integrating customer recognition technologies into their store environments, providing highly tailored recommendations to consumers.
In our research for PSFK's Future of Retail report, our consulting team realized that in an effort to reduce some of the guesswork involved in shopping, retailers are integrating customer recognition technologies into their store environments, providing highly tailored recommendations to consumers and treating each shopper as a distinct individual. Facial recognition software and body scanning kiosks connect a consumer's age, sex, and true size with a retailer's stocked inventory to offer detailed personal suggestions based on collected demographic information. The curation of choices helps eliminate the time and frustration of browsing for new products and trying on multiple selections, creating a more enjoyable in-store experience with all collected data eventually erased to mitigate customer privacy concerns.

We've finally moved into our new place and there will be a number of changes in store for all for us. It will interesting to see how we all fare in them.
Sleeping on Their Own
The first change is that the boys have moved into their own room. Tonight is the first night they are sleeping on their own – ever. I'm waiting to see when one of them will get up and come looking for me in the middle of the night. Truth be told, it's a big adjustment not just for the boys but for me, too, and I'm not sure who will have the harder time for it. I'll keep you posted on how we go…
A Play Room
Until recently, the boys have been usurping just about every room in the house because they don't have a dedicated play room. They don't even have a place for their toys. Now there is "a place for everything and everything in its place". Well, that's the idea anyway. Hubby jokingly said that it would be a full-time job to clean up after Hercules. Indeed. The setup for the play room is to make everything accessible to the boys so they can decide what they want to play with and how.
While this arrangement works well for Aristotle, Hercules is going to drive me nuts. He seems to derive great pleasure in un-ending all the boxes and scattering all the toys around the room. Even the books are off the shelves – well, just the ones he can reach and the ones he likes.
Is it a bit much to expect a 2 year old to pack up after himself? Has Aristotle spoilt me? Because he seemed to have this natural instinct for packing up and was able to do it at this age. Then again, Aristotle was always very particular about order – he would get upset if a single train was out of place; he hated it if you packed his colour pencils in the wrong order; if you moved his water bottle, he would move it back; well, you get the drift. Hercules, however, appears to thrive on chaos.
If you have any suggestions on teaching a 2 year old to pack up, I'm all ears…
Homeschooling / After School
Now that we finally have the space, I plan to change the routine somewhat. I've been thinking a lot about how I want to do this and here's the rough idea so far…
12 Subjects
- Reading – Little Reader
- Math – Little Math
- Music – Little Musician (Yes! The beta version is coming out soon!)
- Language – Little Chinese
- Science
- History
- Art
- Geography
- Cooking
- Entertainment
- Sport
- Brain Training
We'll be working on general knowledge flash cards for speed play (ala Shichida style) using Little Reader. This should be fairly quick to get through – the preparation will be the time consuming part. We will then supplement each subject following the Montessori activities from the online course by Karen Tyler.
The idea's still a work in progress but I'll be sharing the details as I work them out with the boys so stay tuned!
