Reviews for BBQ Bacon Burgers
Average Rating
"Excellent! Very juicy and tasty!"
"Swapped out the mayo for sour cream, Penzey's Northwoods seasoning. Ended up using bacon as a topping rather than in the meat due to cook's error. Juicy, fantastic burger. Will definitely be in the regular rotation."
"This was so good! DH really liked it. I used pre-cooked bacon to speed up prep time."
"These are fantastic. I added an egg and some breadcrumbs; they were delicious. The sauce is a must."
"maybe I made this wrong but it didnt turn out to good. I used mircule whip instead of mayo, maybe thats what made the sauce bad?"
"Tasty & easy to prepare - def make again."
"Absolutely delicious. I didn't have dried minced onion so I substituted minced onion soften in the microwave. I am anxious to make these again!"
"This was a very flavorful burger. I substituted real bacon bits since I didn't have any bacon hand."
"Loved the bacon flavor of the burger. It was very moist and juicy, can't wait to make it again!"
"Wonderful! I love to experiment with burgers and these tied the best ones I've ever made. It's just a really good combination of flavors. My husband ate two, and these were big burgers!"
"These were awesome!! I used real bacon bits because I didn't have bacon and they were very moist and tasty."
"Very, very tasty! We loved this recipe and will be using it again!I used 90% lean beef, Hellman's old school mayo, onion powder instead of dried minced onion, Montreal steak seasoning, Jack Daniels honey bbq sauce, and Boar's Head lacey swiss."
"We all loved this burger recipe. My son is a "burger critic" and really loved it! They disappeared quickly. This recipe will be kept and made many times in the future!"
"I used Sue Bee Original Style Honey-Barbeque Sauce. Awesome results! We have found our new favorite burger!!! EXCELLENT!!!"
"The steak seasoning is a dry mixture, like Montreal Steak seasoning. You can find it in your grocery store with the other seasonings and spices.I haven't made this yet, but I will be trying it soon. The mayo/BBQ sauce combo sounds good for a summertime burger!"
"When you say 'steak seasoning', do you mean a salt mixture or a sauce?"
"very good, made exactly like the recipe."
"Made 3 burgers instead of 4 and used cheddar cheese instead of swiss, my husband said it's the best burger he's ever had. We loved it!"

The Tory Lover by Sarah Orne Jewett
Chapter XLII
"The Runlet of Brandy was a loving Runlet and floated after us out of pure pity."
Just before nightfall, that same day, two travel-worn men came riding along a country road toward Old Passage, the ancient ferrying-place where travelers from the south and west of England might cross over into Wales. From an immemorial stream of travel and the wear of weather, the road-bed was worn, like a swift stream's channel, deep below the level of the country. One of the riders kept glancing timidly at the bushy banks above his head, as if he feared to see a soldier in the thicket peering down; his companion sat straight in his saddle, and took no notice of anything but his horse and the slippery road. It had been showery all the afternoon, and they were both spattered with mud from cap to stirrup.
As they came northward, side by side, to the top of a little hill, the anxious rider gave a sigh of relief, and his horse, which limped badly and bore the marks of having been on his knees, whinnied as if in sympathy. The wide gray waters of the Severn were spread to east and west; the headland before them fell off like a cliff. Below, to the westward, the land was edged by a long line of dike which walled the sea floods away from some low meadows that stretched far along the coast. Over the water were drifting low clouds of fog and rain, but there was a dull gleam of red on the western sky like a winter sunset, and the wind was blowing. At the road's end, just before them, was a group of gray stone buildings perched on the high headland above the Severn, like a monastery or place of military defense.
As the travelers road up to the Passage Inn, the inn yard, with all its stables and outhouses, looked deserted; the sunset gust struck a last whip of rain at the tired men. The taller of the two called impatiently for a hostler before he got stiffly to the ground, and stamped his feet as he stood by his horse. It was a poor tired country nag, with a kind eye, that began to seek some fondling from her rider, as if she harbored no ill will in spite of hardships. The young man patted and stroked the poor creature, which presently dropped her head low, and steamed, as if it were winter weather, high into the cool air.
The small kitchen windows were dimly lighted; there was a fire burning within, but the whole place looked unfriendly, with its dark stone walls and heavily slated roof. The waters below were almost empty of shipping, as if there were a storm coming, but as the rider looked he saw a small craft creeping up close by the shore; she was like a French fishing boat, and had her sweeps out. The wind was dead against her out of the east, and her evident effort added to the desolateness of the whole scene. The impatient traveler shouted again, with a strong, honest voice that prevailed against both wind and weather, so that one of the stable doors was flung open and a man came out; far inside the dark place glowed an early lantern, and the horses turned their heads that way, eager for supper and warm bedding. There seemed to be plenty of room within; there was no sound of stamping hoofs, or a squeal from crowded horses that nipped their fellows to get more comfort for themselves. Business was evidently at a low ebb.
"Rub them down as if they were the best racers in England; give them the best feed you dare as soon as they cool, - full oats and scant hay and a handful of corn: they have served us well," said Wallingford, with great earnestness. "I shall look to them myself in an hour or two, and you shall have your own pay. The roan's knees need to be tight-bandaged. Come, Hammet, will you not alight?" he urged his comrade, who, through weariness or uncertainty, still sat, with drooping head and shoulders, on his poor horse. "Shake the mud off you. Here, I'll help you, then, if your wound hurts again," as the man gave a groan in trying to dismount. "After the first wrench 't is easy enough. Come, you'll be none the worse for your cropper into soft clay!" He laughed cheerfully as they crossed the yard toward a door to which the hostler pointed them.
The mistress of the inn, a sharp-looking, almost pretty woman, suddenly flung her door open, and came out on the step to bid them good-evening in a civil tone, and in the same breath, as she recognized their forlorn appearance, to bid them begone. Her house was like to be full, that night, of gentlefolk and others who had already bespoken lodging, and she had ceased to take in common wayfarers since trade was so meagre in these hard times, and she had been set upon by soldiers and fined for harboring a pack of rascals who had landed their run goods from France and housed them unbeknownst in her hay barn. They could see for themselves that she had taken down the tavern sign, and was no more bound to entertain them than any other decent widow woman would be along the road.
She railed away, uncontradicted; but there was a pleasant smile on Wallingford's handsome face that seemed to increase rather than diminish at her flow of words, until at last she smiled in return, though half against her will. The poor fellow looked pale and tired: he was some gentleman in distress; she had seen his like before.
"We must trouble you for supper and a fire," he said to the landlady. "I want some brandy at once for my comrade, and while you get supper we can take some sleep. We have been riding all day. There will be a gentleman to meet me here by and by out of Bristol," and he took advantage of her stepping aside a little to bow politely to her and make her precede him into the kitchen. There was a quiet authority in his behavior which could not but be admired; the good woman took notice that the face of her guest was white with fatigue, and even a little tremulous in spite of his calmness.
"If he's a hunted man, I'll hide him safe," she now said to herself. It was not the habit of Old Passage Inn to ask curious questions of its guests, or why they sometimes came at evening, and kept watch for boats that ran in from mid-channel and took them off by night. This looked like a gentleman, indeed, who would be as likely to leave two gold pieces on the table as one.
"I have supper to get for a couple o' thieves (by t' looks of 'em) that was here last night waiting for some one who didn't come, - a noisy lot, too; to-night they'll get warning to go elsewhere," she said, in a loud tone. "I shall serve them first, and bid them begone. And I expect some gentlefolk, too. There's a fire lit for 'em now in my best room; it was damp there, and they'd ill mix with t' rest. 'T is old Mr. Alderman Davis a-comin' out o' Bristol, one o' their great merchants, and like to be their next lord mayor, so folks says. He's not been this way before these three years," she said, with importance.
"Let me know when he comes!" cried Wallingford eagerly, as he stood by the fireplace. There was a flush of color in his cheeks now, and he turned to his companion, who had sunk into a corner of the settle. "Thank God, Hammet," he exclaimed, "we're safe! The end of all our troubles has come at last!"
The innkeeper saw that he was much moved; something about him had quickly touched her sympathy. She could not have told why she shared his evident gratitude, or why the inn should be his place of refuge, but if he were waiting for Mr. Davis, there was no fault to find.
"You'll sleep a good pair of hours without knowing it, the two of you," she grumbled good-naturedly. "Throw off your muddy gear there, and be off out o' my way, now, an' I'll do the best I can. Take the left-hand chamber at the stairhead; there's a couple o' beds. I've two suppers to get before the tide turns to the ebb. The packet folks'll soon be coming; an' those fellows that wait for their mate that's on a fishing smack, - I may want help with 'em, if they're 's bad 's they look. Yes, I'll call ye, sir, if Mr. Davis comes; but he may be kept, the weather is so bad."
Hammet had drunk the brandy thirstily, and was already cowering as if with an ague over the fire. Wallingford spoke to him twice before he moved. The landlady watched them curiously from the stair-foot, as they went up, to see that they found the right room.
"'T is one o' the nights when every strayaway in England is like to come clacking at my door," she said, not without satisfaction, as she made a desperate onset at her long evening's work.
"A pair o' runaways!" she muttered again; "but the tall lad can't help princeing it in his drover's clothes. I'll tell the stable to deny they're here, if any troopers come. I'll help 'em safe off the land or into Bristol, whether Mr. Alderman Davis risks his old bones by night or not. A little more mercy in this world ain't goin' to hurt it!"

DVD reviews: 'Zero Dark Thirty,' 'The Hobbit' and 'This is 40'
"Zero Dark Thirty" (2012, R, 157 min., $30.99). Viewers already know the ending, but that shouldn't stop them from seeing "Zero Dark Thirty." Reuniting filmmaker Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal — the team behind 2009's "The Hurt Locker" — "Zero Dark Thirty" is an intense ride full of suspenseful twists and turns covering the events leading to the death of Osama bin Laden, the most wanted man in the world. Undoubtedly one of the best pictures of 2012, the feature is part procedural in how it documents the process of finding bin Laden. The procedural aspects of the story are blended with the character development of Maya — played wonderfully by Jessica Chastain — a talented CIA officer tasked with finding terrorists affiliated with 9/11. When Maya sets her sights on bin Laden, she pushes herself to the very limit, and, you know how that ends. Chastain deserves all of the accolades she's received. The actress gets a boost in supporting roles played by Jason Clarke, James Gandolfini, Edgar Ramirez and Kyle Chandler. A series of featurettes are available on standard DVD and Blu-ray, including ones on Chastain, settings and general production. Each featurette carries plenty of interviews with members of the cast and crew, along with some behind-the-scenes info. 4 Stars.
"The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" (2012, PG-13, 160 min., $28.98). A decade after the conclusion of Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, the filmmaker brings viewers back to the shire for another three-part adventure. This time around, Jackson gets his material from the 1937 J.R.R. Tolkien novel "The Hobbit." The main character is Bilbo (Martin Freeman), a hobbit who enjoys spending time at home. When Bilbo's called into action by Gandalf (Ian McKellen), he's propelled into an adventure with a wild collection of dwarves. The goal is to reclaim the lost Dwarf City of Erebor, a beautiful mountain that's been taken by a deadly dragon. In this first step of the trilogy, the gang finds itself coming up against a remarkable collection of underworld characters that offer only harm. Weighing in at 160 minutes, "An Unexpected Journey" has some problems with pacing, and it doesn't really offer viewers any motivation inside the storyline to tune in to No. 2, due out later this year. There are plenty of positives, too. Visually, Jackson's film is amazing and the action sequences are incredible. The film's special effects are some of the best. Standard DVD and Blu-ray packages offer an extensive making-of journal that brings viewers inside Jackson's filmmaking process. 2.5 Stars.
"This is 40" (2012, R, 134 min., $29.98). Judd Apatow, undoubtedly considered one of the best directors in the comedy genre, returned to the silver screen in 2012 with "This is 40." Starring Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann in lead roles, this sort-of sequel to the director's 2007 hit "Knocked Up" is a bloated dumping ground of jokes that revolve around getting older. It has an incredibly thin plot and a ridiculously long run time. Rudd and Mann are Pete and Debbie, a married couple approaching 40 with two kids. Together, they're struggling with the usual pitfalls of life, including raising kids, dealing with family members and worrying about finances and health. Yeah, that's basically the plotline for "This is 40." There are some good laughs, and a terrific cast — Megan Fox, Jason Segel, Albert Brooks, John Lithgow and Melissa McCarthy are in supporting roles — but this is mostly a waste of time. Like Apatow's past productions, there are lots of special features. Unfortunately, most of them are exclusive to Blu-ray versions of the picture. Two of the better featurettes available — "This is Albert Brooks (At Work)" and "Graham Parker & The Rumour: Long Emotional Ride" — explore two of the better subplots of the pic. There are lots of additional featurettes, along with interviews and extra scenes. 1.5 Stars.
"Les Miserables" (2012, PG-13, 158 min., $29.98). Director Tom Hooper's retelling of the musical adapted from Victor Hugo's famous novel of the same name pulled in eight Oscar nominations, establishing itself as one of 2012's best films. Fans of the musical or the book should find plenty to like about Hooper's latest production.
"Rust and Bone" (2012, R, 120 min., $30.99). Filmmaker Jacques Audiard follows up his 2010 hit "A Prophet" with "Rust and Bone," a drama about a man (Matthias Schoenaerts) and a woman (Marion Cotillard), both experiencing life-changing tragedies in their respective lives, coming together in a gritty relationship that takes many forms.
"Bachelorette" (2012, R, 91 min., $24.98). Kirsten Dunst, Isla Fisher, Lizzy Caplan and Rebel Wilson have starring roles in this comedy from filmmaker Leslye Headland about a group of girlfriends getting together to throw an epic bachelorette party. The plan goes horribly wrong, though, and it becomes a race to save the wedding.
"The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp" (1943, NR, 163 min., $29.95). Legendary filmmakers Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger worked together to make what some consider the best film to ever come out of Britain. The picture focuses on the life of Major General Wynne-Candy, who takes a look back at his career in the military.
"The Great Magician" (2011, NR, 128 min., $24.98). Veteran Chinese actor Tony Leung stars in director Derek Yee's picture set in the time after the revolution that overthrew the Qing Dynasty in China, and established the Republic. As a result, warlords, some of whom use magic to hold down their enemies, run different areas.
"Shadow People" (2012, PG-13, 88 min., $24.99). This found-footage thriller focuses on a radio personality (Dallas Roberts) working together with a CDC agent (Alison Eastwood) to uncover a mysterious cover-up that killed hundreds of people.
"Angus Buchan's Ordinary People" (2012, PG-13, 115 min., $22.99). Three men — a desperate criminal, a struggling mechanic and an alcoholic — try to turn their lives around at the Mighty Men Conference, held by Angus Buchan. The real-life farmer's spiritual transformation was the inspiration for the powerful book "Faith Like Potatoes."
"Storage 24" (2012, R, 87 min., $26.98). The city of London is thrown into chaos when a military plane crashes, and leaves its highly classified contents all over the place. Unaware of what's going on, four friends head outside, before being trapped in a facility called Storage 24 and hunted by a mysterious predator.
"Jersey Shore: The Uncensored Final Season" (reality series, four discs, 13 episodes, $26.99)

XTDDINO60: 150 Million Year Old Dinosaur Bone Folding Knife
The gemstone in this knife handle is actually a section of petrified bone from a sauropod - one that lived 150 million years ago. The sauropods were very large four-legged creatures with elephant-sized feet and long necks and tails. Known to have been amphibious, these herbivores roamed the savanas, swamps and marshes of the Mesozoic Southwest in search of succulent grasses and plants at the height of the Age of Dinosaurs.
Today only the occasional remains of these large creatures are found. Fortunately for us, some of their bones were rapidly covered by mud and sand after death, causing them to be transformed into rock. Bone marrow in cell cavities was replaced by fine particles in the covering sediment, which then agatized to form the colors and patterns you see in the handle material.
This particular fossil was found in the Shinarump member of the Chinle Formation in the Four Corners area of northwestern New Mexico. The age of the bone was determined by reference to the well-defined strata in which it was found.
Santa Fe Stoneworks only has a limited amount of this petrified bone, and little prospect of securing any more. These specimens are neither valuable nor unique, nor is its ornamental use considered a loss to the scientific community - there are plenty of sauropod bone fragments available for study. Please accept its use as handle material in the spirit that it is offered; as a tangible reminder of the mysterious animals that ruled the world at the dawn of time.

There are, besides, during a paroxysm, general muscular trembling and clonic spasms of the muscles of the trunk and extremities.
In both, the tonic with clonic convulsions were observed after a sufficient quantity of caffein was administered.
The objective manifestation of tic is a clonic or tonic convulsive movement, an anomaly by excess of muscular contraction.
Eyelid tics (says Parinaud) are known to ophthalmologists as clonic blepharospasms.
There were first clonic, then tonic convulsions, and finally opisthotonus was fully developed.
These attacks were accompanied by frequent epileptic fits and clonic convulsion of certain muscles.
clonic, klon′ik, adj. pertaining to clonus, with alternate convulsive contractions and relaxations of the muscles (of spasms)—opp.
The clonic spasms may be so severe as to rupture muscles or even to fracture one of the long bones.
However, the clonic nature of the spasm should prevent such an error.
It is because clonic tics are so easily recognised that they are the most familiar, but we must not ignore another variety—viz.
clonic clon·ic (klŏn'ĭk, klō'nĭk)
Of the nature of clonus, marked by contraction and relaxation of muscle.

Blake Loates, who lives in Canada, was surprised after she found an offensive phrase on the cap of a bottle of Coca-Cola's (KO) Vitamin Water.
Loates, whose younger sister has cerebral palsy and autism, found the phrase "You Retard" on the cap. The phrase was on the cap as part of a campaign by Coca-Cola that was supposed to pair French and English words together to create funny phrases. In French, the word retard means late, which means that cap was trying to convey the message "You Late." Loates sent an image of the cap to her father, Doug Loates, who then wrote a letter to Coca-Cola complaining about the message. Doug says that he won't be drinking Coca-Cola anymore due to the message. Coca-Cola has apologized for the message and has ended the campaign, destroying the remaining caps with messages on them located at the company's plants, reports Daily Finance.
Doug Loates' letter to Coca-Cola can be read here.

NUCLEAR OPTION -- (Senate - April 13, 2005)
Mr. OBAMA. Mr. President, I rise today to urge my colleagues to think about the implications of what has been called the nuclear option and what effect that might have on this Chamber and on this country. I urge all of us to think not just about winning every debate but about protecting free and democratic debate.
During my Senate campaign, I had the privilege and opportunity to meet Americans from all walks of life and both ends of the political spectrum. They told me about their lives, about their hopes, about the issues that matter to them, and they also told me what they think about Washington.
Because my colleagues have heard it themselves, I know it will not surprise many of them to learn that a lot of people do not think much gets done around here on issues about which they care the most. They think the atmosphere has become too partisan, the arguments have become too nasty, and the political agendas have become too petty.
While I have not been here too long, I have noticed that partisan debate is sharp, and dissent is not always well received. Honest differences of opinion and principled compromise often seem to be the victim of a determination to score points against one's opponents.
But the American people sent us here to be their voice. They understand that those voices can at times become loud and argumentative, but they also hope we can disagree without being disagreeable. At the end of the day, they expect both parties to work together to get the people's business done.
What they do not expect is for one party, be it Republican or Democrat, to change the rules in the middle of the game so they can make all the decisions while the other party is told to sit down and keep quiet.
The American people want less partisanship in this town, but everyone in this Chamber knows that if the majority chooses to end the filibuster, if they choose to change the rules and put an end to democratic debate, then the fighting, the bitterness, and the gridlock will only get worse.
I understand that Republicans are getting a lot of pressure to do this from factions outside the Chamber, but we need to rise above ``the ends justify the means'' mentality because we are here to answer to the people--all of the people, not just the ones who are wearing our particular party label.
The fact is that both parties have worked together to confirm 95 percent of this President's judicial nominees. The Senate has accepted 205 of his 214 selections. In fact, we just confirmed another one of the President's judges this week by a vote of 95 to 0. Overall, this is a better record than any President has had in the last 25 years. For a President who received 51 percent of the vote and a Senate Chamber made up of 55 percent of the President's party, I would say that confirming 95 percent of their judicial nominations is a record to be proud of.
Again, I urge my Republican colleagues not to go through with changing these rules. In the long run, it is not a good result for either party. One day Democrats will be in the majority again, and this rule change will be no fairer to a Republican minority than it is to a Democratic minority.
I sense that talk of the nuclear option is more about power than about fairness. I believe some of my colleagues propose this rule change because they can get away with it rather than because they know it is good for our democracy.
Right now we are faced with rising gas prices, skyrocketing tuition costs, a record number of uninsured Americans, and some of the most serious national security threats we have ever had, while our bravest young men and women are risking their lives halfway around the world to keep us safe. These are challenges we all want to meet and problems we all want to solve, even if we do not always agree on how to do it. But if the right of free and open debate is taken away from the minority party and the millions of Americans who ask us to be their voice, I fear the partisan atmosphere in Washington will be poisoned to the point where no one will be able to agree on anything. That does not serve anybody's best interest, and it certainly is not what the patriots who founded this democracy had in mind. We owe the people who sent us here more than that. We owe them much more.
Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.

Saturday August 25, 2012
I noticed several bait pellets with zinc phosphide listed for moles. I thought moles primarily ate worms and grubs. How does this bait work on moles if their normal diet doesn't include this type of food?
You are correct that a couple of pelleted baits do have moles on their labels, but these generally have been fairly ineffective against these carnivores / insectivores. Moles will eat some small amount of plant material in addition to their primary diet of meat, and perhaps it was this slight deviation that caused them to take an interest in pelleted grain-based baits. But, without a doubt, at this time the superior bait for moles appears to be Talpirid, those soft worm-shaped baits that are extremely attractive and palatable to moles and which contain bromethalin as the active ingredient. This single-feeding active works quickly and requires a single bait "worm" to be lethal.

Online tax return confusion
The Inland Revenue's online tax return system has come under fire from customers who feel they have been let down.
A number of people who filed online have contacted the BBC's Money Box programme, after the Revenue claimed it never received their forms.
They thought they had filed their returns in time. But they still received a £100 penalty for missing the 31 January deadline.
This comes as worrying news, given that the Revenue wants two million of us to file online by 2005.
"Angry and frustrated"
Ian McGarr told Money Box that he decided to file his return online for the first time this year.
After completing his form he sent the Revenue a cheque for the amount the system said he owed.
A few days ago, he received a £100 penalty notice.
When he called the Revenue he was told there was no record of his tax return ever having been received.
"I feel very angry and frustrated... I was told there was nothing on the Inland Revenue's system, only that I had made a payment."
Ian is appealing against the fine.
Stressful experience
Patricia Douthwaite found out by chance that the Revenue had not received her form, when she visited her local tax office in January.
She had received a validation number and a tax calculation on the website.
Luckily for Patricia she found out in time. But she is still angry.
"I shall never file online. It has taken hours and hours sorting this out. I shall never do it again because it is too stressful," she said.
Confusing process
Tim Potten was also convinced he had filed his return successfully.
In fact, he had not completed the full process. He told Money Box the website is confusing:
"It is not obvious where you are, what you are supposed to get and there is not a great deal of help."
Assessing the problem
Terry Hawes, Head of e-services development at the Inland Revenue told Money Box that if people had filed in time and still received a penalty, they should visit their local tax office where their case will be investigated.
But he insisted: "At the moment there are no reasons to think that anybody who filed on time has received a penalty notice."
And he continued, "They would have got a message on screen telling them their return had been received.
"In addition, if they had given an email address, we would have sent an email confirmation."
Mr Hawes denied there was a problem with the software.
But he did say "One of the pieces of work we are doing, is to try to find out why a relatively small number of people do end up with this problem."
According to Mr Hawes, approximately 333,500 people had successfully submitted their returns online this year.
Mr Hawes claimed that as far as he was aware, a "relatively small" number of people had encountered problems.
But he added: "Our call centre is currently receiving around 400 calls a day and some of these will be about that problem."
BBC Radio 4's Money Box was broadcast on Saturday, 29 January, 2003, at 1204 GMT

Determining Your Budget
Replacing windows throughout a home can be a big investment. But it's an investment with great payback (see Years of Great Payback below).
You should establish your budget even before beginning your project. A Milgard® Dealer can give you a free ballpark estimate on how much it might cost to replace your windows. It's hard to provide an accurate cost range as a house can vary greatly in the number and size of its windows. But here are some basic guidelines for average-sized windows in an average home.
- Expect to pay an average of $500-$800 per window for replacements placed inside structurally sound window frames. It could go as high as $1,000 per window depending on the frame material and glass options. Double- and triple-glazed windows, or those filled with argon gas, increase energy savings but bump the cost to the higher end of the scale.
- If an existing window frame is rotted or damaged in any way, the frame must be rebuilt. This can increase the cost and necessitate the use of new construction windows.
To get a better feel for window replacement budgets, see Milgard Case Studies. These provide examples of projects using our windows and patio doors.
If You're Thinking of Using Credit
- Home equity lines of credit can be a good resource for financing this type of project. In fact, in some cases, the interest on home equity lines of credit is tax-deductible. Many bank websites have financing calculators you can use to figure out what your loan payments might be.
- The National Association of Remodelers' budgeting tips offer advice about how to determine what you can afford.
- With a HUD Energy Loan, you may be eligible for more financing on energy-efficient windows, up to the cost of the window replacement.
Other Budgeting Considerations
- You should establish your budget even before beginning your project. You want to be sure you have the money to comfortably afford either paying for the project with cash or through credit.
- Make decisions based on value and quality, not just price. After all, this is your home we're talking about.
- Think about having the work done in stages to spread out the financial impact. It is often easier to create a more manageable budget by starting small and adding to the project at a later date. This will break the work into several jobs instead of one large project. The down side of doing a remodel in stages is that you may end up paying more in the long run. You may want to discuss these possibilities with your contractor to determine if they would apply to your project.
Years of Great Payback
High-quality, energy-efficient replacement windows are annually demonstrated to be an excellent investment. According to the 2007 Cost vs. Value Report (a combined effort by Remodeling magazine and REALTOR® magazine), homeowners can expect to recoup an average of 80 percent for window replacement.
Such return on investment makes replacement windows an excellent buy. Particularly since today's energy-efficient windows and patio doors also can:
- Reduce energy consumption.
- Reduce drafts and make your home more comfortable.
- Improve natural light and reduce glare.
- Help you take advantage of solar heat gain in cold climates or minimize it in hot climates.
- Provide years of easy operation and weather-tight seals.
- Drastically minimize care and maintenance (particularly if the windows are made of vinyl or aluminum, or have fiberglass exteriors).
- Reduce noise.
- Reduce window condensation.
- Protect draperies, carpets and upholstery from fading or discoloring.
Rebates and Incentives
The 2009 Energy Tax incentive, announced in October, offers a rebate of $500 for installing energy-efficient windows. Don't forget to check with your power company or state environmental agency. Often government or power company incentives include additional tax deductions or rebates for making energy-saving improvements to your home. These can even further improve the payback. Look for ENERGY STAR® qualified products—these are most likely to be approved for such programs. Check for rebates now.

Building With Terrorism in Mind
"The buildings and public spaces selected for attacks included lobbies, atriums, and open areas that facilitated killing large numbers of Westerners and local citizens, using guns for point-blank assassinations. Venues on the hit list included two luxury hotels, a train station, a hospital, an outdoor café frequented by Westerners, and a Jewish community center. The attackers specifically sought out those who held American and British passports. The siege continued for several days, until Indian security forces gained control of the situation."
"Like the events of 9/11 at New York's World Trade Center, the Mumbai attacks have raised awareness among building owners, hotel facility managers, and design professionals worldwide about how vulnerable their facilities may be in the event of a terrorist attack – and not just from IEDs. At the Oberoi and the Taj Mahal, where most of the violence occurred, high, central atriums – architecturally desirable elements because they typically allow natural light and views in a space – proved to be a major vulnerability. Media reports indicate that the terrorists entered the hotels, threw grenades and directed automatic weapon fire at guests and staff on the ground-floor lobbies and restaurants, and then ascended the atriums. From these vantage points, they shot at guests and commandos below, and lobbed more grenades."
"At the 105-year old Taj, the attackers knew the building layout, kept moving, and didn't linger in small areas with one exit where they could be cornered. Most modern fire codes call for two means of egress from occupied public spaces. To make matters worse, commandos and local police didn't have updated as-built drawings of the hotel, which would have indicated walls, corridors, and recent construction."

I broke my nasal bones in 3 different places and cracked my septum. My nose was never totally straight to begin with, but the results of the Septoplasty surgery are terrible.
My doctor would not do Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty at the same time as he said it would have difficulty healing. My nose is more crooked then before and my right nostril is twice the size of my left.
Will I need Rhinoplasty to fix this? Can it be straightened, and how long do I have to wait after the septoplasty to have Rhinoplasty? My nose almost looks deformed.

A marble obelisk, 36m (120ft) high, with the words 'Mussolini Dux' carved on it, greets visitors to the Foro Italico, a sports complex conceived in the late 1920s by architect Enrico Del Debbio. The avenue leading west of the obelisk is paved with black-and-white mosaics of good Fascists doing Fascist things - flying warplanes, saluting il Duce and engaging in physical jerks. It's a wonderfully camp sight today, and amazingly well preserved considering the thousands of feet that trample the tiles every weekend on their way to the Stadio Olimpico beyond (built in the 1950s but modified for the 1990 World Cup), where AS Roma and SS Lazio both play. Surrounding the Stadio dei Marmi track to the north - also by Del Debbio - are 60 marble statues of naked athletes, each with some kind of sports apparatus, from crossbows to bocce (bowling) balls. Other facilities at the Foro Italico include tennis courts, where the Italian Open is held each May, and two swimming pools.

I Hate You - Poem by Ramona Thompson
To move on with my life
To start myself on the road to recovery from a broken
I hope and pray that you will understand
Just why I have to write these words to you
Often times cruel
Often times bitter
But you and I both know that they're right
For all the ways that you wronged me in the past
For the times that you refused the love I offered
For every lie from her lips that believed over mine
I'm sorry babe but it's true
I hate you
Tonight this much I have promised myself
From this confession
From my heart to yours
From the mouth of the babe that you wounded
So fatal
There will be no turning back
No going back or longing for what we could have had
If only you have given me a chance
That one chance
But you did't and so now I wish nothing but the best
Living in the hell that you choose
Her over me
That was your worst mistake
That's why all I have left in my soul to say to you is this
Sad but true
Baby, I hate you
Never thought that one man could hurt one woman
So very much
As much as you hurt me
Over and over and over again
Leading me on
Promising me that one day we would be together forever
When you really never meant a damm thing that you said
Turned my world upside down
Made me someone so vile and spiteful
Someone that I could't even begin to recognize
Once even had me thinking of doing to myself
The unthinkable
Hope that you're proud of yourself
Hope that right now wherever you are
You are suffering just as much if not more then I did
God help me but I hope that you never recover from this
Sad but true
Loverboy, I hate you
Got a new man in my life now
Here with me
Watching as I write to you
This final goodby
Bet that leaves a bitter taste in your mouth does't it
Knowing that someone else has taken the place in my bed
and in my heart
The place that could have been yours
Too bad isn't it?
Choose the wrong woman and now there's no going back
Makes me smile
With an angel's devilish delight
Make no mistake about it lover
I take the greatest of pleasures in your pain
Hoping that it last forever
That never ever again in your life will you be happy
That would surely be my fondest wish come true
For you
The man who broke my heart into a billion million pieces
The man who I thought I could never get over
Here is my last message to you
Sad but you
Double dealer
Cheater, liar and heartbreaker
Try not to look so blue or so shocked
When I say to you
This one last and final time
Sad but oh so damm true
Lover, I HATE YOU!

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I have moved out of a home I rented for >2 yrs.The landlord deducted $900 from my deposit.She states damage to carpets, lock, ceiling, wall. I took care of the property & received compliments from her-I have emails.The carpet was not new when I moved in & I cleaned upon leaving. I did not cause other damage. She is not responding to my email, phone calls or message regarding this. I gave proper notice in writing. She stated in her letter that she should have charged me for the entire last month. She agreed to me moving out mid month when I posed my moving details. I also have recent photos of the property as she requested them since she loved the way I kept the place. I'm wondering if I should hire an attorney over the $900 or file a claim in small claims court.
You're not going to like this answer—but here goes:
You may or may not owe for carpet damage--depends on whether LL can show it was excessive relative to the default standard--normal wear and tear and/or what your lease agreement says about carpet cleaning.
You might have given proper notice, but paid a pro rata vice full monthly rent--depending on FL statutes (I am NOT a FL attorney) and what you can show in writing to prove you and the LL agreed to pro rata payment, you may or may not owe rent money to the LL.
Finally, depending on the damage the LL is claiming and whether she did or did not use FL's procedures for handling security deposits; you may or may not be able to recover some or part of the SD.
Depending on the degree of confidence you have, the documents and evidence you can produce, and your ability to tell a compelling, succinct, clear story-with a beginning, a middle, and an end, you could likely sue in small claims and win. If you aren't confident, have a disorganized file of evidence and get lost in details, you could very likely lose.
Finally, if you weren't confused enough—if the LL did fail to comport herself to Florida's statues related to handling of your SD, or there are other factors related to the tenancy that you know about, but were unaware could mean something legally, you might be able to recover attorney fees and damages in addition to your SD. You won't know that until you sit down with an attorney—that will likely cost you some money—though it might be worthwhile in the end.
I recommend you meet with a local LL-Tenant attorney—review all your facts, documents etc., and (1) get that attorney's opinion on your ability and evidence to press the issue in small claims yourself and (2) See if that attorney can identify any other issues that may impact your success.
Best of luck.
READ THIS BEFORE CALLING OR EMAILING ME: I am licensed to practice before the state and federal courts in Virginia. We have not established an attorney-client relationship unless we have a signed representation agreement and you have paid me. I do five my 100% effort to get you on the right track with your issue. Sometimes that means legal educational information, sometimes that means counseling and non-legal guidance. You should speak with an attorney to whom you have provided all the facts, before you take steps that may impact your legal rights. I am not obligated to answer subsequent emails or phone calls unless you have hired me. I wish you the best of luck with your situation.Ask a similar question
Once you receive the LL's letter, you have only 15 days to get a letter objecting to it to her. Please do so immediately if you haven't already. Send it certified return receipt requested.
If you do proceed, you can go to small claims court and observe several hearings to see how things go.
Hiring an attorney and filing may cost you almost as much as the claim is worth. i'd suggest finding out when small claims court is and when eviction court is held and observing a few hearings of each. you may find that you want to represent yourself. you may find that it isn't worth is at all.
Having pictures of the subject matter is a good start. do you have pictures in general of the place? or pictures taken of the condition of the carpets, locks, walls, doors, etc.
Good luck!Ask a similar question
Was the letter claiming your security deposit provided within 30 days of your move out?
I provide a free 15 minute telephone consult for security deposit claims and eviction defense. No attorney-client relationship is created by answering questions in this public forum. If you wish to create an attorney-client relationship, you must contact me directly and sign a representation agreement. Answers are provided based on general ideas and an answer specific to your situation would require a review of all documents.Ask a similar question
Yes. It was received ~ 18 days after moving out.

This story has been updated with Sterne Agee's latest estimates for December quarter iPhone 5 sales NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Apple's ( AAPL) new iPhone 5 won plaudits from analysts and investors alike when the device was launched at an event in San Francisco last week, laying the foundations for a record debut weekend. Early on Monday, the Cupertino, Calif.-based firm confirmed that the iPhone 5 had shattered the previous pre-order record set by the iPhone 4S. Apple's iPhone 5 pre-orders topped 2 million in the first 24 hours that the phone was available, double the number for the iPhone 4S. AT&T ( T) also described the iPhone 5 as its fastest-selling iPhone ever in a statement released on Monday. Massive pent-up demand, coupled with overwhelmingly positive reviews of the new phone, suggest that Apple's on to a massive winner with the iPhone 5. Brian Marshall, an analyst at ISI Group, told TheStreet that he was impressed with the new iPhone when he picked it up for the first time at Apple's launch last Wednesday. "When you put that sucker in your hand, it's like, 'Wow!' " he said. "You have a 20% larger screen coupled with
an almost 20% thinner and 20% lighter form factor -- typically, these things don't go together. It kind of reminds us of the first time we picked up an iPad." Sterne Agee analyst Shaw Wu was also won over by the redesigned iPhone, particularly its 4-inch screen. "At first glance, it looks the same size as the iPhone 4S, but when you use it, particularly in landscape mode, it's clearly a bigger screen," he said. In addition to its larger screen, aluminum redesign and new software capabilities, other key features of the iPhone 5 include its 4G LTE capabilities and an A6 processor, which is both faster and smaller than its predecessor, the A5. Marshall also sees Apple's promise to have the iPhone 5 in 100 countries and on 240 different carrier networks by the end of the year as a major advantage. By way of comparison, when Apple launched the iPhone 4S last October, the company said that it would have the phone in more than 70 countries by the end of 2011.

EL MONTE - An initiative aimed at addressing skyrocketing rents at a local mobile home park narrowly failed on Tuesday by just 59 votes, but residents and backers say they're not giving up on their fight.
When all the votes were tallied, 49.8 percent of voters supported Measure F, and 50.2 percent opposed the initiative.
The measure would have repealed a 1990 voter-approved ordinance that prohibits the city from regulating rents at its 33 mobile home parks. The 1990 ordinance also provides a 10 percent rental assistance subsidy for qualifying tenants.
El Monte initiated the ballot measure in response to complaints of price gouging from residents at the Brookside Mobile Country Club, where some tenants are paying $1,500 a month in rent. Residents of other El Monte mobile home parks pay an average of around $500 depending on the size of the lot, according to a survey of about half of the city's parks.
"We're going to fight the fight, we're not done yet," said Brookside resident Sandi Witt, who has frequently spoken out about the issues at the mobile home park.
Councilwoman Norma Macias, who spearheaded the effort to pass the initiative, said she was still holding out hope for the final count of provisional ballots. However, if the result remains the same, all was not lost in the measure's failure, she said.
"The truth is, this is an issue that needed to be brought to light, so I really felt and I feel that regardless of the outcome, our work has just begun to try to address the problems at Brookside," Macias said.
Mobile home park residents own their coaches, but rent the space beneath them. Many of those at Brookside say they're being held hostage because it costs thousands to move their coaches, a price that is too high for many on a fixed income.
City officials have said the measure was not about imposing rent control, but rather allowing El Monte to simply inquire into the prices local mobile home parks are charging. With the 1990 ordinance in place, the city cannot allocate resources or staff time to look into rent issues, officials said.
Those who opposed the measure argued that its passage would result in rent control, a bad and costly policy, and eliminate the 10 percent subsidy for some qualifying residents.
"I felt bad after I heard they're paying $1,200 for a space and I can see their point, but I'm also a landlord in El Monte and I don't want them to tell me what I can charge," 81-year-old resident Betty Cook said Tuesday night.

The din of cicadas
The din of cicadas
The chorus of cicadas is expected to be out in full force this week as summery temperatures bring warm days and nights, across New Zealand. Although the mercury is rising, there will still be some wetter spells to watch out for.
There is a wet start in store for the West Coast with a burst of heavy rain moving in from the Tasman Sea. Severe Weather Warnings are currently in place for the south of Westland and northern Fiordland until Tuesdaymorning. Although the heaviest rain will be about the ranges, some heavier falls are still likely near the coasts. The front responsible for this rain is forecast to weaken away as it moves north and dissipates over Cook Strait.
"It was a sunny, summery weekend for many across the North Island and these conditions are likely to linger on this week" MetService meteorologist John Law said, "however, some warm moist humid air feeding in from the north will introduce some cloudier, drizzly weather to the far north and higher temperatures across the country".
This week's daytime temperatures are expected to reach into the mid to high-twenties across a large part of New Zealand and the nights are unlikely to give much relief, with temperatures only falling to the mid to high teens. "With minimum temperatures in the high teens for many of us this week, it could make for some uncomfortably, sticky nights" Law said.

Do you love the annual flurry of holiday greetings, but not the tumbling mess that cards create on the mantel? The creative solution demonstrated in this video is a fun and easy way to show off your cards.
What You Need
- wide ribbon in a festive color
- scissors
- wall adhesive tape
- small clothespins
- cards
Follow These Steps
Cut two feet of ribbon
Unspool a length of wide ribbon about two feet long, then cut it. For a pretty look, notch each end as follows: Fold one end of the ribbon lengthwise and snip on the diagonal; repeat on the other end.
Hang the ribbon
Using a small piece of wall adhesive, affix one end of your strip of ribbon to the wall (or any vertical, flat surface) so that it hangs vertically. If you're using multiple strips, space them about nine inches apart, at whatever height you desire.
Attach cards to the ribbon
Using small clothespins (find them at a stationery store), attach the cards to the ribbon. This will keep the cards in place and make it easy to add or move cards as new ones arrive.

No escape
Page Tools
Extreme art is a way of life for this band, writes Michael Dwyer.
The Dillinger Escape Plan's biggest moment on the international stage is best not described in detail. Suffice to say it was a primal manoeuvre by singer Greg Puciato at England's Reading Festival. Let's simply refer to it as Poogate, and Ben Weinman knows what we mean.
"None of us knew he was gonna do it," says the New Jersey jazz-metal band's founding guitarist, "but we all knew we were gonna do whatever it took to make people recognise us on stage.
"I thought it was brilliant . . . It was an interesting and very valid statement . . . taking that poo was a serious comment about most of the bands that people were about to experience on that stage."
Rock'n'roll bands privately poo-poo each other's efforts as a matter of course, but it's another thing to do so in public. It's fair to assume that few acts that followed could get their fingers anywhere near DEP's astonishing chops.
The dexterous quintet's furious combination of intense, progressive hardcore rock and free-jazz meandering has been termed math metal, a pigeonhole Weinman is quietly pleased about.
"It's an honour to be considered some kind of founding member of any scene or style, but it's funny, because math was my worst subject at school," he says. "We really don't care what people label us, as long as they keep trying, and it's always difficult."
Only Weinman and drummer Chris Pennie remain from their '99 debut, Calculating Infinity, and second guitarist Brian Benoit recently underwent arm surgery.
Mr Bungle's Mike Patton stepped in briefly before Puciato passed a web-based audition that asked hopefuls to sing a new tune called 43% Burnt. Australian punters were at least that scorched by the lads' first tour here last year, and a new album, Miss Machine, is no easier to whistle.
"We definitely try to bring a bit of danger and unpredictability back into music," Weinman says. "The goal is to introduce some of the kids out there to some of these other influences, but the reverse happens, too. I see older people who are into jazz or fusion coming to our shows and experiencing something they've never seen.
"Metal is probably one of the most boring genres today. I'm not hearing anything new. Metal is supposed to be extreme, it's supposed to dangerous and it's supposed to do things the mainstream doesn't accept."
Hence Poogate, for example. But extreme art calls for extreme reactions. Weinman recalls a recent instance of a punter crowd-surfing all the way to the stage to give him a bunch of roses. At another gig, he had someone leap onstage to punch him in the face. "And this guy had a Dillinger T-shirt on, too," he says.
