Introduction to Articles
Being a stair installer in the tri-county area of Sonoma, Napa, and Marin has been challenging over the years and after over 25 years in the business, I have built or remodeled thousands of staircases. During my apprenticeship there were many aspects of stair building that were different than any other woodworking that I had done (general carpentry, fabricating and installing cabinets.). I was presented with a totally new set of challenges dealing with angles and radius's, rise, runs, codes, safety issues, etc. As daunting as all the layout and woodwork was, the chance to work on what I consider to be the focal point of a multilevel home, was and still is quite fulfilling. A stair builder needs to make sure that his product has structural integrity; a staircase is foremost a main artery of egress and safety is so much a factor, but also the staircase needs to have aesthetic appeal and it's appearance is a statement of design and architectural theme. |
Determining Rise and Run of a Stair
A budding future Santa Rosa, California stair builder ,and maybe a future handrail installer,(a 22 year old framer who needs to build his first set of rough stairs) asked me how to determine the rise and run of a staircase. I wrote him a short explanation that follows. For both the rise and run of a stair there are a few things to take into account before actual mathematical calculations take place. Example -rough floor to floor rise = 108.00" lower floor finish flooring thickness = 3/4"subtract .75" Run - The first consideration is the actual length of space that the stair can occupy. If there is a door way or walk way around the first riser then this is a restriction that needs to be factored in. . The average stair tread,considering walking comfort, is around 10 1/2" plus or minus. Since your total number of risers in the example above is 14, that would leave us with 13 walking treads. Joining Handrail Transitions
This is a wooden stair building technique that a stair installer needs to master. Typically we attach most handrail transitions mechanically with either screws in the case of miters or rail bolts in the case of handrail fittings. We always use wood glue and if done right, the mechanical fastener is just for clamping while the glue dries, although the fasteners are insurance; they make sure that the glue joint is never stressed. A rail bolt is a metal fastener that has one end with a machine thread and the other end has a wood screw thread. They come in several sizes, but we use the 5/16" x 3 1/2" for joining our rails. The rail bolt is screwed into one mating piece of wood while the machine end is slid into a hole in the other mating piece and alignment is checked, glue is applied and nut is fastened and the 1" hole is covered with a matching wood plug. When the joint is complete, the resulting piece is sanded smooth. The trick is to make sure both holes in the mating pieces are lined up with each other. Some stair builders mark the center lines and use a doweling jig, but I have found that if one takes a 1/4" or so section of the railing and drill a hole in the center, it can be used for marking each mating piece of rail to be joined. Once the center is marked, typically a 1/4" hole is drilled for the 5/16" lag end and a 3/8" hole is drilled for the 5/16" machine thread end and a 1" hole is drilled into the bottom of the rail that accepts the machine bolt so a nut with washer can be inserted, threaded on and tightened. Hardwoods for Stairbuilding
*WORK IN PROGRESS Stairs and balustrades have been made with just about every hardwood (and softwood) available. The most common hardwoods for stair building are Poplar, Alder, Red Oak, Hard Maple, Beech, and American Cherry. We have made staircases and balustrades out of Walnut, White Oak, various species of Mahogany, Rosewood, Brazilian Cherry (Jatoba), Caribbean Heart Pine, Santos Mahogany, Padauk, Hickory, Beech, Ash, Ironwood (Ipe) and many other species. The hardwood flooring business is now importing an incredible variety of South American hardwoods and many of our clients have wanted to match their staircase and handrails with their flooring choice. Some woods are not very practical since some hardwoods are imported for flooring only and aren't available in long lengths (These woods can be spliced and laminated if necessary). Because Poplar, Alder, Red Oak, Hard Maple and American Cherry are the most popular hardwoods for staircases, they are usually the most economical because the balustrade parts are manufactured in quantities that yield more reasonable prices. A specific wood will have different grain patterns depending on how its log is cut. Plain sawn, which gives the most lumber yield per log, is basically just cutting a log into planks as it lays. Quarter sawn cut is just as it is labeled. The log is first halved and then 1/4ed like a pie cut and then sliced from outer layer towards the core. Because of the increase in labor and the reduction of lumber yield it is a more expensive cut. It has straight grain and ray flecks (One sees this cut frequently in antiques made of Oak). Rift is a quarter sawn cut that has the straightest grain and no ray flecks. A rotary cut is produced by putting a log on a giant lathe and cutting a thin slice lengthwise as the log turns. This cut is used as veneer for plywood. When you see a production type oak door, the wild grain patterns are veneers that are produced as a rotary cut. The following hardwood descriptions have been derived from 35 years of my woodworking experience. Poplar: We use poplar for any part of a staircase that is to be painted. It is relatively hard, machines and sands with ease and because it doesn't have an open grain and is relatively inexpensive, is a great wood for painting.A few of our cost conscious clients have ordered poplar stairs to be stained. They are usually going dark in color and if the hue is dark enough to discount the greens and purples, the results are very nice. Alder: Alder is a beautiful evenly colored brownish hardwood that is one of the softest hardwoods that we use for stairway and handrail fabrication (apparently Alder is white when first cut but oxygination browns it quickly). Because it costs less and because it stains easily and evenly, it's a relatively good substitute for Cherry. It is browner in color than Cherry but the grain and porosity are similar. Alders most limiting factor is that it only yields short (mostly 8'-10' with occational 12') lengths where a lot of stairs call for 12+' to 16' lengths. Red Oak: Red Oak is a very hard open grained wood and has very distinctive grain patterns. It is tough enough to withstand the punishment that comes to stair treads (steps). It machines and sands well and takes a stain evenly and easily. It is prone to have internal checking which has to be culled out during the milling process. We have had clients put a Cherry stain on Red Oak which has taken on a definite Cherry patina but it won't fool anyone who knows a bit about woods. Some woods like Poplar, Alder and Maple can be disguised with stain but because of it's tale tell grain, Red Oak will always look like Red Oak. Maple: Maple is a denser hardwood than Oak and is an excellent choice for stairbuilding. It has a soft grain pattern and although hard, machines and sands well. It has a light patina and when finished correctly can resemble other more expensive woods. It's downfall is in using stain to darken it. Maple will have a very blotchy appearance unless care is taken in the finishing process. A lot of finishers will apply a 'stain controller' before the stain goes on to assure that the finish will go on evenly. Beech: (American and European) Beech is a very hard and strong close grained hardwood, light brown in color with darker specks (dashes) throughout. It is available in turned stair spindles, posts and handrails but as with Alder long pieces for railing will have to be spliced. I used European Beech on my home staircase. It machines and takes a finish nicely. American Cherry: Cherry seems just as strong as maple but isn't as hard. It is a beautiful wood and has been one of the top choices of cabinet makers since colonial times. Cherry has a redish brown patina that gets richer and darker with age. Cherry is the most expensive hardwood that is produced on a production scale for balustrade parts and is made even more costly because it's sapwood is very light (white) and if a client wants their cherry to be homogenous without sap, the culling process can easily produce more than a 1/3 waste. Cherry is great to work with. After its initial drying process it is very stable. It planes and sands well and and takes a finish easily and evenly. I've found cherry to be best with a simple clear finish because it darkens gradually and naturally when exposed to sunlight to a wonderful dark cherry patina. Some of the other most common hardwoods that we use for stairs are White Oak, Mahogany, and some of the nutwoods like Hickory. White Oak: It is easy to describe White Oak as it contrasts to Red Oak. White Oak is denser than Red Oak and has a much lighter patina. Red and White Oaks grain patterns are similar but because of White Oaks higher density, it looks smoother (less porous) than Red Oak. It is stronger than and is more durable for treads. From a woodworkers standpoint it machines and sands well and it is incredably aromatic when it is machined. I love the smell of our shop when we run a White Oak stair job through. Because of it's water-tightness, it has been used through the ages for boats as well as wine and water barrels (the aromatic properties are given to the wine when stored in White Oak barrels thus those wine tasters get 'oakey' overtones. White Oaks water resistent qualities should never be tested on an interior staircase. Mahogany: There are 3 authentic commercial species of Mahogany. The most common is African Mahogany and Tropical American Mahogany (Mexico, Central America, Peru, Brazil) with Cuban Mahogany being available before 1946. Philippine Mahogany (Luan) has some resemblance to Mahogany but is not Mahogany and generally much less dense and includes many species used for economical plywoods. Generally Mahogany is light pinkj to reddish brown and tannish brown. It is relatively hard (although one of the lowest density woods that we use for stairs), machines and works well, can be polished to a high luster, and is very durable. Mahogany trees are huge and the lumber can be purchased in great lengths and widths. Some mahogany planks are amazing. When we have a couple of 3" x 16" x 18' pieces here at the shop it really seems like we must have the whole tree. Jatoba (Brazilian Cherry) Bending Wood
Bending wood by the process of lamination is not an exact science and takes practice. How wood bends is dependent on many variables, such as what species of wood is involved, the moisture content of the wood, the thickness, width and quantity of your laminants, what kind of glue is to be used, and how acute of a radius is to be bent. Unfortunately, these variables do not lend themselves to proven charts or tables that would make the process a bit more predictable. We have found that the bending of wood by laminating is an art that is picked up by experience and usually even when all the factors are taken into consideration, unless the finish product is to be mechanically held in place, the resulting product will more than likely have some spring back (change of radius). We always take some springback into our calculations and make adjustments for it. Once a radius is determined (and in our case usually we need to layout for a stair pitch or angle as well) we draw the arc on a plywood laminating deck (see our pictures 'Stair and Handrail Fabrication'). We use metal stantions or wooden 2x6's as a laminating frame. If we are bending for a staircase we will build what we call a drum that is basically a curved wall. Once the wood to be used is resawn and sanded to its final dimention, glue is applied, the bundle is wrapped in several places with plastic wrap to keep the laminants in place for easy handling and with clamps spread out ready to work with (make sure to double the amount of clamps that you think that you need), we set the laminants in place, force the wood into position with muscle power (helps to have several extra hands) and start clamping either from one end or from the middle out both directions towards the ends. We will leave our laminant dry for as long as we can afford. The final radius is very dependant on how long the glue has to set up and again, what kind of glue has been used (most glue that we employ will have a extended cure rate where flexibility decreases with time). When the clamps are released and the laminant is taken off of the drum, the top and bottom edges are scraped of excess glue and the are trued and sanded. Simple as that! |

A few nice The Secret images I found:
The Secret Workshop of Jules Verne

This is perhaps my favorite find on my most recent trip to Europe. How can a place so wonderful exist in our world? It's amazing.
I got a recommendation from a close friend that told me I would love this place. And he was right!
This is the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle and is one of the least-known places in Paris. Everyone goes for the hot tourist spots, and this museum sounds rather boring, yes? But as you can see… au contraire!

Dreams Floats in Silence through its Dim Fields, Only the Sweet Song of a Secret Bird heard…..
Image by -RejiK
The green land's name that a charm encloses,
It never was writ in the traveller's chart,
And sweet on its trees as the fruit that grows is,
It never was sold in the merchant's mart.
The swallows of dreams through its dim fields dart,
And sleep's are the tunes in its tree-tops heard;
No hound's note wakens the wildwood hart,
Only the song of a secret bird.

Favorite Song Lyrics?!
Okay Swifties I'm about to take some time and think of all my favorite song lyrics from Taylor<3 Ya'll should do the same! Here I go! :)
"I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know, i'll be strong, i'll be wrong, oh but life goes on, i'm just a giril, trying to find a place in this world"
"Every smile you fake is so condescending counting all the scars you made"
"You're beautiful, every little piece love, and don't you know, you're really going to be some one, ask anyone."
" Our daddies used to talk about the two of us, growing up and falling in love and our mama's smiled, and rolled their eyes, and said Oh, my, my,my"
" Music starts playing like the end of a sad movie, it's the kind of ending you don't really wanna see."
"You used to shine so bright but I watched all of it fade."
"Turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you wishing what I had when you were mine, and I go back to december all the time."
"and all you are is mean, and a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life and mean."
"I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home."
"She's not a saint she's not what you think she's an actress, woaaah, she's better known for the things that she does on a mattress.. woaaahh"
"You and I walk a fragile line, but I never thought I see it break."
" I never thought we'd have a last, kiss, never imagined we'd end, like, this."
" come back, come back, come back, to me like you could you could if you'd just say you're sorry, I know that we can work this out somehow, but if this was a movie you'd be here by now."
" I'll do anything you say, if you say it with your hands."
" and you call me up again just to break me like a promise, so casually cruel in the name of being honest."
"it feels like a perfect night, to dress up like hipsters"
"It takes everything in me, not to call you."
"that's when you came in wearing a football helmet and said alright, let's talk."
"I find myself at your door, just like all those times before, i'm not sure how i got there, all roads they lead me here"
"and your smile is in the back of my mind making me feel like, I just wanna know you better."
" i've been spending the last 8 months thinking all love ever does is break, and burn, and end, but on a wednesday, in a cafe, i watched it begin again."
K so that took like half an hour don't hesitate to take the same amount of time in the response! :D

At the end of last week ASOS unveiled a new design for its men's and women's category pages, with a strong focus on product ideas and fashion content.
The retailer has totally overhauled the old homepage, which had a fairly standard layout with product categories down the left and a large carousel promoting various ranges.
It's certainly a bold revamp and requires a lot of scrolling to take it all in, but it's not too dissimilar to H&M's '& Other Stories' off-shoot.
We write a lot about ASOS on Econsultancy, largely because it's one of the best in the business. So to find out more about the retailer's wider ecommerce strategy read our blog posts on its excellent on-site SEO and how it uses Facebook, Twitter and other social platforms.

I wrote a post on the use of carousels on ecommerce sites earlier this year, and the general consensus was negative towards them, with some feeling that such space could be put to better use.
However, is this just because many carousels haven't been implemented properly?
In his latest Alertbox post, Jakob Nielsen looks at how to make them more effective. Here are some of his suggestions, and examples of good implementation from ecommerce sites.

Good Thursday everyone. We continue to bask in a summertime pattern across the bluegrass state. Temps on Wednesday hit the 90 degree mark in some spots and that's a feat that doesn't happen that often in early May. The warm temps remain and now we say a big welcome back to the threat for thunderstorms. We missed you while you were away for one whole day.
A nice moisture plume extends northward out of the Gulf of Mexico into the Tennessee Valley today. This will edge a little farther northward in time and should bring some scattered thunderstorm action to the bluegrass state. A strong storm can't be ruled out and there is plenty of juice to produce heavy rains. Temps should held down some compared to Wednesday because of the scattered stuff.
Friday and Saturday are very important days as we have the Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby taking center stage. The weather both days looks similar with temps in the 80s and the threat for scattered showers and thunderstorms. A few strong boomers will be possible during this time.
The warm air and storm threat should hang tough into early next week. That's when some of the models begin to show a cooler change across much of the country. You can see this showing up on the European Model…
The GFS Ensembles show much different look from the next 7 days to the following 7 day period…
It has been very hard for any one temperature pattern to completely set up shop around here this spring. Odds favor that balancing act to continue into the upcoming summer months.
Have a great Thursday and take care.

Look in my face; my name is Might-have-been;

We have made the difficult decision to wind down SearchViz.
When I say this was a difficult decision, I mean it. It's especially difficult because it's the synthesis of a personal decision and a business decision. Demand for our services was as vigorous as ever, far more so than when we opened our doors. But our demands on each other, two partners in a small agency trying to mature into a boutique, concierge vendor that actually helped to make the Web better, were equally intense and ultimately unsustainable.
It is my great disappointment that you never heard Helen's voice through her typed words on these pages. You certainly saw them in the original art she produced for each of my posts and in the design she created for our site as a whole, somehow creating an elegant visual brand out of one of the worst names (SearchViz was a domain name I had bought years ago when I realized how dominant SEO was going to become; apparently I never said it aloud) in the history of business. She could have had an entire blog about markup or stylesheet disasters, or how to build a better mousetrap with Drupal, or a series of posts on why something that might look good to the casual observer was an accessibility train wreck under the hood. Or pretty much anything else that came up in our near-daily banter. So any of you who took the time to look at our site but weren't a customer probably never met Helen. And that's a shame.
We serendipitously become colleagues at SouthComm, working on a great team that started to unravel when our group leader resigned, and she ultimately responded to my pleading to walk away from a steady paycheck to do something audacious in a down economy. From where we sat, one would not have known there was a down economy. From day one, we had enough business and qualified leads to keep the lights on and then some. Frustratingly, we left far too many leads hanging because of our over-deliberative approach to adding capacity and preferring to offer high quality service to existing customers, even when it gnawed at our margins.
In our just over two years, though, we (mostly Helen) did some great work that deserves a little more attention, and there won't be too many opportunities for additional celebration, so we might as well do it here:
- built Ashley Judd's first ever official website
- created a website for bestselling author Adam Ross who, with our help, catapulted into the top of the SERPs ahead of that CSI guy
- reinvented the online presence, front-end and back-end, for BookPage, where you should go discover your next great book
- enhanced a great collaborative project now maintained at Perkins School for the Blind called WonderBaby
- launched a completely redesigned and rebuilt Who2, one of the Web's longest-lived sites with a blog that is and will continue to be worth your time
We worked on a number of other great projects with a group of customers that I think will be as difficult to reprise as our team at SouthComm where Helen and I met. To our customers, many of whom were with us from start to finish, I can only say thank you. It is our hope that our work created mutual and lasting value.
In parting, I will confide that Helen is the only person I would let build a website for me. I've never met anyone who understood the complex relationship between visual design and the Web—everything from end-user interfaces to editorial workflow to the semantic underpinnings derived from the raw markup to layered PSDs—better than she. She is also a Drupal expert. And has many other hidden talents besides. She likes to make things, and if you ever have the opportunity to have her make something for you, you should avail yourself of it. I can only hope that she doesn't wind up too busy with whatever she does next to be available to work on my next crazy idea. If she is, then my next crazy idea will probably stall indefinitely.
For a while, anyway, you can still contact us through the website. But in the spirit of SearchViz, if you'd like to find us individually, we recommend that you just look for us.
Looking back on the early days, we never did make too much headway making it to the top of the SERPs for [nashville seo]. We got too busy with other things. And now we'll head off to keep ourselves busy with even otherer things.

That certain special ugly: The Red Chord's Guy Kozowyk on (not) navigating into metal niches
Those who dismiss metal regard it as a monochrome boneyard of screams and chromatic slop, but the truth is far more overwhelming. The genre's evolution has spawned intimidating diversity, which has in turn spawned endless arguments about who belongs in which mini-category of what sub-genre. The most sane attitude might be blithe unconcern as to how to categorize yourself. Though fans and writers have labeled Massachusetts band The Red Chord everything from "deathcore" to "metalcore" (and these are hardly the most pedantic combo-terms people apply to heavy music), the members seem content to just call their music a mix of sounds they like. Even on its most polished album, 2009's Fed Through The Teeth Machine, The Red Chord delights in abruptly mutating hybrids. Tastes can get particular and divisive even within the sprawling lineup of the decidedly death-metal-centric Summer Slaughter tour, which comes Aug. 8 to The Rave/Eagles Ballroom. Before embarking on the big package tour, Red Chord vocalist Guy Kozowyk told The A.V. Club about his weirdest and funniest encounters both within and outside of metal.
Multiple causes of death
The A.V. Club: There's a range of styles within Summer Slaughter and within death metal as a whole. When you're on a big bill like that, do you ever think about where you fit in?
Guy Kozowyk: It's not just blasting death metal the whole way through. We're not as over-the-top as Cephalic Carnage, but we're not as straight-ahead as Decapitated or All Shall Perish, and obviously we're not as artistic and trippy as Animals As Leaders or The Faceless. That's a little more polished and musical and proggy. I feel like we're sort of in the middle of all of that. We're not on the crazy extreme end of anything, but we're not really the odd man out as far as any of those genres go. I feel like we're gonna be playing to a pretty open-minded, eclectic audience.
Why are we here?
GK: Before The Red Chord turned into The Red Chord, we were supposed to play a show with Godsmack at a bar, when they were still doing Alice In Chains covers. But I wouldn't say that was as weird as when we got asked to play a show at SUNY-Purchase last year. It was the strangest pairing ever. There was a band called Streetlight Manifesto. They're a ska band on Victory. Indie-rock ska, or whatever. They played a band or two before us, and then it went [New York hardcore act] Murphy's Law, and then Drake, that rap guy. It was right before [Drake] popped. The interactions from band to band were pretty funny—I don't know which guy was Drake, but I think he was watching our set, probably because he was just as confused as to why he was there as we were. That festival was actually called Culture Shock.
Stage banter boundaries
GK: You've gotta pick and choose your battles with what you do stage-banter-wise. On Mayhem Fest, for instance, you're dealing with tens of thousands of people. You can't say anything too witty, because you're gonna go over a lot of people's heads. If you're talking fast or slurred or you're telling some stupid joke and it's longer than a couple words, people are gonna miss it. But the rule of thumb is if you say something and then say it again louder, people will respond to it. They cheer, whatever the hell it is. You can say, like, "Is anybody having a cup of coffee? IS ANYBODY HAVIN' A CUP OF COFFEE!?" and they'll instinctively start cheering for it. Whatever it is you put out there, if you put it out with confidence, they tend to go along with it because you're holding the microphone.
AVC: You've mentioned in other interviews that you've gotten in trouble for joking about your tourmates. Where's is the line drawn on that kind of thing?
GK: The Northeast is a very brutal place, in terms of sarcasm. The way that we show our affection to each other is just by being brutal assholes to each other. Especially dealing with [bands from] the West Coast, it's a much more sensitive vibe, where people get very upset over the same thing that on the East Coast you'd laugh off. If somebody yells at you over here, you yell back, and they're gonna respect you more for it. If somebody yells at you on the West Coast, you're gonna be all offended and mutter under your breath for the rest of your life.
Sympathy for Korn
GK: Our bass player [Greg Weeks] wrote a review for Decibel of [one member of Korn's autobiography], and at a couple of shows on that tour, he got so into the book and thought it was so hilarious that he started doing book readings before the set. He'd set up and be like, "I'm gonna read an excerpt from My Life Is So Hard," or whatever the fuck it was called. It was just funny when they're talking about how they had it hard, and the first tours they ever had to do, they had two RVs, and they had to drive overnight one time. Even on Ozzfest or Warped Tour, bands are doing tours where every night is an overnight ride. Your AC goes out. You got a bunch of guys in their underwear strewn all over, trying to lay in the shade that their trailer is casting. What we do is not only a very unnatural, vagrant-style life, but if you're not coming from that world, then I can see where you're gonna take yourself a whole lot more seriously than we do. Whether we succeed or whatever, there's a positive and humorous angle to look at it.

The Mechanical Engineering and Materials Engineering programmes offer a stimulating mixture of theoretical study and hands-on practical work, all informed by recent advances in the engineering industry. Through a mixture of projects and taught modules you'll study topics such as fluid dynamics, mechanics of solids and structures, and dynamics, all of which are relevant to a wide range of industries including aerospace, renewable energy, automotive, marine and many others.
Materials engineering is a discipline at the interface between materials science and engineering. It involves not only the understanding of materials and their properties, their internal microstructure or the particular manufacturing processes used in their production, but also how to use these in design of real world applications. All branches of engineering rely on solid materials to carry mechanical or electrical loads, but materials engineering explores in much greater depth the link between what we can make materials do and how to use them in the design of new technologies.
Many of the most exciting current developments in the technological world are in materials engineering, such as nanotechnology, artificial replacement organs and tissues, and smart composites for aerospace applications. These and other topics are covered in these programmes including manufacturing, CAD/CAM, elasticity and solid mechanics. These programmes would suit those who aim to work in any technology field or in a management role in related industries.

It's funny how people can talk about themselves all the time, but when it comes to people actually wanting to know stuff, you just seem to blank completely... I'll start off with something simple: I am 15 years old. I am an aspiring author. I enjoy writing fantasy/sci-fi/romance. Enough said. My favorite singer is Frank Sinatra, and what inspires/helps me to write is music. Some songs that seem to really help me are: Open your eyes ~ Snow Patrol Lullaby ~ The Spill Canvas Enchanted ~ Taylor Swift (not much of a fan, but she can really set a mood when you're writing) Circles ~ Hollywood Undead Time is Running Out ~ Muse (Muse always really inspires me for action scenes :P ) Invincible ~ Machine Gun Kelly (Really reminds me of my MC) Uprising ~ Muse That's just at the top of my mind... Anyway, that's enough for now... I <3 you guys! K.S. Kreissl

The brief introduction about Tamil Nadu states that it was earlier known as Madras, and is positioned in the south most tip of the land with Kanyakumari on eastern side of Indian peninsula. This tip is basically the convergence of Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean and Bay of Bengal. Tamil Nadu has an extended eastern coastline sprinkled with captivating beaches with Arabian Sea, tamilnadu tourism packages. Bay of Bengal in the east and Kerala form the western boundary. Additionally, Tamil Nadu is enclosed by Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh in its north and therefore crosses an area of approximately 130,058 km�. The total population of Tamil Nadu is more than 62,110,839 and is watered by quite a few recurrent rain fed rivers and the 760kms long Cauvery travels the whole span of the state. The description of Tamil Nadu also put emphasis on one point that its major language is Tamil which is spoken about just 10% as people prefer to speak in Telgu and are great flowers of other religions such as Hinduism, Christianity, Islam and Jainism. However, wooded slopes of the striking hills of the Western Ghats, soaring temples and gopurams, iridescent silk fabrics of outstanding colors, a never-ending collection of silver lined beaches, exciting festivals chock-full of music and dance, Tamil Nadu is also ostentatious of being the only territory of Dravidian culture and tradition.
Sightseeing of Tamil Nadu:
- Chidambaram
- Kanchipuram
- Kodaikanal
- Rameshwaram
- Kanniyakumari(Kanyakumari)
- Puducherry or Pondicherry
- Kapaleswarar Temple
- Vadapalani Temple
- Sri Parthasarathy Temple
- Kali Bari Temple
- Mangadu Temple
- Ashtalakshmi Temple
Where to Stay: One can find a suitable accommodation in Tamil Nadu, India as there are various hotels and resorts built in the state along with some several striking hotels located near beaches in Mamallapuram, Tamil Nadu on a customized rate and thus offers you a spectacular stay in its out of the world accommodation.
Best time to visit: Between November and March.

Sonic boasts a hunger-obliterating menu of burgers, coneys, shakes, and more—all delivered straight to your road vessel by graceful roller-skating carhops. Settle burger-craving stomachs with a supersonic cheeseburger ($4.64), or craft a creative meal out of sides such as chili-cheese tots ($2.69), the cheesy jalapeño poppers ($3.23), and onion rings ($2.50/large), which, like engagement rings, symbolize love and taste better when dipped in ketchup. If crumb-covered palates need a cleansing, swallow a Sonic signature limeade ($1.50/medium) or a slush ($1.50/medium) in any combo of classic flavors, such as cherry, grape, watermelon, or orange. Once eaters have ordered, the all-American feast will arrive balanced atop the head of a roller-butler. Customers are welcome to feast right there in their cars or savor their selections on Sonic's outdoor patio.
In 1964, brothers Leroy and Forrest Raffel banded together to come up with a new restaurant concept. Arby's took off almost immediately on the coattails of its hallmark roast-beef sandwich and the founders' idea of providing customers with fast, quality food. Over the company's 48-year franchise history, its foundational pièce de résistance of thinly sliced, juicy beef has been served in a many permutations, and continues to be popular today, served at more than 3,500 stores in North America. Today's menu still ignites appetites with traditional beef sandwiches, plus hot and seasoned curly fries, fresh-chopped salads, and desserts good for richly capping off meals or bribing any bridge trolls on the way home.
Concocted by executive chef Malcolm Garrison, Giatu dispenses a heterogeneous array of American–inspired breakfast, lunch, and dinnertime dishes. Early birds tired of their worm diets can select from an array of balanced breakfast platters, including omelets and french toast. Small and large bites, such as slider trios or crab cake po boys, give lunchtime new zest alongside health-conscious entree salads and soup, salad, and sandwich trios. By dusk, Giatu fuses abundant styles of American cuisine, borrowing flavors from southern-styled eats to steakhouse fare. The eatery's catering menu enriches parties and private events, and its elegant dining space designed with intricately patterned primary colors hosts groups small and large. Giatu permits patrons to supply their own wine and beer every Sunday, which they can sip with no corkage fee in the hardwood-floor lounge replete with snuggly sofas, a cozy fireplace, complementary WiFi, and a flat-screen TV broadcasting the latest sports.

The reason I ask is that ShopSmart recently polled their users about hair.
here are the results:
19% of women love their hair, 41% like it, 5% dislike it, 4% hate it and 30% are neutral
49% have naturally straight hair, but 10% of them style it curly
23% have naturally curly hair, but 19% of them style it straight on average, women pay $39 for a haircut and $65 on salon color
53% regularly color their hair
On average, women spend 15 minutes or less styling their hair, and wash it 4 times a week
I wash my hair 4 times a week and spend about 100 dollars every 6 weeks to color and trim.
I wash my hair every day. Being so lazy I get my hair coloured and trimmed every 4 months or just before I go on a trip. Then I get a whole body overhaul. Always a good excuse
I spend only around $80 each time, but that includes my brows and tips
I gave up on getting it colored at the salon just could never get the right color - so I color it myself ( get compliments all the time on the color ). I get it cut every couple of months - I found an amazing gal believe it or not at Fantastic Sam's - I think with a tip I pay $30 - I also think it is very important to use good shampoo for the healthy of it.
LOVE my hair
I just spent $50 on my color - if I had cut it too it would have been $90
I spend $150 on each cut/color. I go to an Aveda salon and I absolutely love the way the stylist cuts and colors my hair. I just wish it didn't cost so much...
My biggest gripe? I can never get my hair to look like the stylist does. I always leave with a fantastic style and can never duplicate it. I am "hair challenged"...
I spend around 130 to get my hair colored, highlighted and trimmed about every 3 to 4 months.
I wash my hair every other day
My biggest hair gripe would be the fizzyness, especially during summer, I will start to sweat under my neck and then my hair starts to get frizzy and looks bad.
I like my hair. It is naturally wavy. I get it cut about every 8 weeks (when my bangs get in my eyes or my mustache is noticeable!) I pay about $40 for a cut and waxing. I get a perm once a year in the spring for about $60.
I used to pay close to $125 for my hair but noticed that they did a half ass job so I would have to return in 6 to 8 weeks. When I do my own hair, I spend about $20, and it lasts for almost 4 months. I like to condition it every 3 weeks and treat it to a hot olive oil and avocado treatment every 2 months.
I noticed a lot of gray when I did my hair this past weekend, it's time to select a summer color!
I get my hair trimmed once a year. I had it done in February and it cost me about $20 at walmart. I wouldn't normally go there for anything, but the young stylist who I was a model for works there, so I went to her.
I color it myself. There's no way I could afford having it done in the salon. With all the hair I have it would be outrageously expensive. So, about $10 for a box of color, less if it's on sale.
No complaints about my hair at all. I love it.
I have my hair cut every 4 weeks at $32.00. Highlights every 3 months at $70.00 and only a root touch up every 3 months at $50.00. I get the root touch up then following month highlights. I have not colored my hair yet. I just get the roots done for the few grays coming in. My hair is wavy and curly and has mind of it's own. I would like to have straighter hair.
Wow, Bernadette, your hair is just gorgeous!
I used to do all the stuff, the expensive cuts, always coloring, all that. After awhile, I just got tired of it, plus I seldom liked the professional cuts I was getting.
So - now I cut my own hair. It's just a bob with bangs, and my hair is quite thin, so it's easy to do. I was using drug-store hair color, then switched to henna because most drug store hair color is tested on animals, and now I've let it grow out into its natural color. Turned out to be white.
I'm at a point now where I love my hair. It's easy to care for, I don't have to worry about roots any more (or using animal tested products - and the henna was great, but it is quite the mess when using it on gray or white hair), and I cut it when I feel like. With a few volumizing products, it looks okay most of the time.

I'm overdue but the color & highlights she gave me really hides the gray pretty good.
About 3 months ago I switched hairdressers because the girl (Mike & I both went to) we felt she gets high & even though she did a good job her loud talking & catty talking about people, I just couldn't take anymore. He still goes to her.
She charged me about $65 for cut, color & highlights. This new one charges $100.
The second time I went to her she gave me a cut that I LOVED, went back for a trim & she cut me WAY too short! That's one reason I've delayed another appt so it can grow in a little.
In general, what I don't like about my hair is I have these little hairs around my hair line that don't grow?? And I have just a little wave to my hair that when I was younger, I wished it was curly and now I wish it was straight.
A few years back, I decided to let my gray grow completely in. It did nothing for my confidence & everyone kept saying, your face is too young for all gray/white yet. So, after about 1.5 yrs, I did color again & am so glad I did.
Some women look great with the gray, but I guess I just am not ready for that yet.
If that's the extent of my problems today, I guess I'm doing pretty darn good.
My biggest gripe is that my hair is NOT what it used to be! Meaning it is dryer and a little more thin than it used to be.
I spend about $40 on a cut every 8 weeks or so and about $100 on color. Unless I go home (to MI) than I can get it done for free by my sister or friends.
Being from the industry I won't do my own!

I go to Mimi for cut and Bruno for colour and I love both and no I'm never admitting how much I pay - will admit I pay cash and use different ATM machines so the accountant doesn't know !
I've been going to the same girl (this is her 2nd salon to own) and she cuts and colors for $55.00. I have a friend who owns a really nice salon (they give you wine, they even do botox their!) and she said she wouldn't touch my hair for anything other than $150 min! And that is why I don't change! My only complaint is I've noticed it's getting a little dryer than it used to be.
I have had the same wonderful hair-stylist friend for the last 21 years..she has been with me through crop haircuts, shoulder-length and permed, jaw-length bobs..my hair is naturally wavy and can easily go straight with the flat iron..my hair color has run the gamut..from burgundy to jet black to caramel brown with all kinds of highlights and low-lights..it's a wonder it has not fallen out..lol..but she is my saving grace as I change my mind a lot.
Cut and color—$55.00
My biggest gripe is frizz, frizz and more frizz..it needs lot of conditioning.
i spend little on getting my hair cut, i am not prepared to pay the expensive prices that are asked. my biggest hair gripe is that my hair grows tooooo ssslllloooowwwwwlllyyy

I bought these as cheap throw aways I could give to my elementary school age kids. I have a similar small LED flashlight and it never seemed bright enough. I expected even worse from these cheapos. I was really surprised to find them to be very bright and useful flashlights.I told the kids these were toys to play with so I had to go back and get more for myself. At this ridiculous price I keep them everywhere: in the glove box, on my boat, bedside tables, garage and office. I don't write reviews but just had to comment on these jems. Only had them a few months, but they feel as solid as the dim flashlight I bought at the big box home improvement store.I thought the bright red and blue colors would be annoying, but it helps me locate them easily when I set 'em down while putzing around the house. Try one pair and I think you'll be back for more.

I don't expect something for nothing, and these little flashlights are no exception, but these things are CHEAP to a fault.The LED's go out, never diagnosed exactly why, but it happens. The lens pops out, the button covering material is weak, and the body itself is thin and get bent.Now granted, we found many of these things out through our kids, but as they got obliterated, it really came to light how cheaply put together these things are.The light output is well enough, but the beam is not focused and will only light things well that are close by.I seem to remember a few of them that exhibited some of the symptoms listed above such as the LEDs going out before being abused by kids .We bought like 6 a while back and we have only one left with a ripped button cover. The rest were unusable within months and thrown away. That is a record for us. Things like these usually last at least a year or so before reaching the trash bin!Maybe if you babied these they would last, but flashlights, like other tools, if used properly are just going to end up taking SOME abuse. Whats the point of tool you have to baby?

Great little lights

About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
Comments about HFT LED Flashlight, Mini 2 Piece 9 LED 3-1/2":
I've bought at least 20 of these (either in black or colors) from HF over the past 3 years. Only one has failed to function, the cheap batteries they come with burst and corroded battery holder. I keep them all over the place. The cars and my motorcycle always have at least one on board. They are cheap enough that I pick up on or two whenever they are sale so I have extras around. Most of the lights have been given to someone who needed a flashlight, and I could just give it to them and not expect to get it back. I see they are on sale again, time to replenish my stock.

Be seen!

See all my reviews
I am an avid bicyclist, and particularly enjoy pedaling before Sunrise/after Sunset. Why? Because I have multiple battery-powered lights, both flashing and steady beam, mounted on my Doublevision tandem recumbent and helmet, most of them from Harbor Freight. Visibility is the single greatest factor in road safety for ALL vehicles upon our excellent highways and byways; Harbor Freight lights give me a feeling of safety that is even unmatched by designated bike lanes or a segregated bikeway! I highly recommend Harbor Freight lights to everybody who want a surefire system of lighting!

I bought a pair of these just to see what they were like.I found them to be VERY GOOD and BRIGHT !So, since I sometimes INCUBATE fertile Chicken Eggs from my own Hens....I tried using one as an EGG-Candler.It works GREAT !( A BRIGHT light is required for good egg-candling.)Soo...I bought some MORE....I keep them wherever I think that I might NEED light some time. VERY HANDY !I have also given some away to friends...who also like them.A GREAT BUY from Harbor Freight !

Cheap but worth the price
By TwoWheels
from Destroit MI
Great product for the price, but like many HF tools, prone to flakiness. But I gotta say, thanks to MacGyver's post above, I fixed two of three that had intermittant on/off issues. The third one was smashed in a car door & probably beyond repair. Use a 17mm socket to press the lens firmly inward toward the body.These are LED and you should not look at the light source directly, it can cause blue light damage long term. Think twice before passing them out as toys.
How to repair flashlight
By MacGyver
from Tallahassee, FL
I've had a couple of these great little flashlights fail, but they are easily fixable. They don't work because the printed circuit board with the LEDs loses contact with the case. To restore contact, press a 17 mm or 5/8 inch socket hard against the lens of the flashlight. If that doesn't do it, unscrew the switch/cap and remove the battery pack. Stand the 17 mm or 5/8 inch socket upright on a sturdy flat surface and put the lens of the flashlight against the socket. Put a board on the other end of the flashlight and lightly tap the board a few times with a hammer. This presses the circuit board against a ridge inside the case. Reinstall the battery pack, screw on the cap/switch, and you should be good to go.
By Chris
from Ansonia, CT
I've used these quite a lot. They are very bright initially or after new batteries. However, they grow dim quickly, like less than an hour on/off use. Also, the interior construction is cheap, they will flicker from poor contacts sooner or later. They aren't bad considering the price though.

I bought two of these, and they both worked, for about a day, and then the switches broke. In summary: they were not very bright, and not worth getting--even if they were free. Just go buy a 2-AA cell mini-maglight; I have about six of those, and they last for years and years, and are very bright.
Bought this same garbage at autozone
By Sam
from Chicago, IL
I bought this same thing at the Automobile Zone and saw these at a popular pharmacy near the checkout, they are garbage, mine had trouble with the switch and would just turn off for no reason, you had ot shake it to get it to turn on again and hope that it stayed in the right spot. After a while it just stopped working altogether, I threw it in the trash. But for the cheap price I did get a few months of use out of it.

Hannah Mae Cruddas has fond memories of visiting the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia with her family.
"I'm home-educated and my mom would bring us here during the day," said the 19-year-old Dartmouth native who lives in Toronto where she is a member of the Ballet Jörgen Canada corps de ballet.
"We had the chance to take the time to look at the art and my mom would ask us what we thought of it. … I've grown up with a love of the arts and respect for this building."
This week at the AGNS, she'll dance two short solos created for her by Dartmouth dancer-choreographer Ruth Ellen Kroll-Jackson.
Kroll-Jackson was commissioned by Ballet Jörgen artistic director Bengt Jörgen to create the pieces to be performed for students in the Halifax art gallery.
Working with Dale Sheppard, curator of education and public programs, she decided on a piece inspired by the works of West Coast painter Emily Carr and a multi-media piece by Attila Richard Lukacs of Edmonton.
"I was inspired by Emily Carr's style and look," says Kroll-Jackson. "And I figured it could be done in any art gallery that has a work by Emily Carr, if the company was on tour."
Four works by Carr are currently on display as part of the Canadian Pioneers exhibit, which also showcases paintings by the Group of Seven.
"Emily's love of nature shows through," says Cruddas. "You can see the motion in her paintings, the continuous brush strokes.
"Ruth has given me movement that is sweeping, circular and full of life. I'm excited to do it side by side with the paintings, so you can see the connection."
The music is sparse, says Kroll-Jackson, to prevent too many things happening in the piece.
She was attracted to Lukacs' piece, titled Black and White Faggot, because it's light and humorous, dark and sarcastic all at once, and because of the space it is in — a room of its own at the bottom of a staircase.
"People can be up the stairs, in the balcony, see it from way back or close up."
The music is industrial, incorporating a printing press, steam engine and pistons.
"Each has a particular rhythm and fades into each other. There's also a 1920s piano tune called Honky Tonk.
In contrast to the Carr piece, it will be sharper, quirky and playful, says Kroll-Jackson.
"Both pieces are really short. I wanted them to be reflective of how long an average person stands in front of a painting and looks at it. The pieces don't go longer than two minutes, which is what an attention span usually entails."
Kroll-Jackson also choreographed a piece that has become part of Ballet Jörgen's touring repertoire, called Frog and Toad.
It was created during the company's annual Solo and Duets workshop that pairs local choreographers with Ballet Jörgen dancers to create short work and was performed in Halifax in 2010. Cruddas will dance the work this season.
She is excited about the opportunity to perform here.
She'll also be part of Ballet Jörgen's Ballet in the Studio program at the Meinertzhagen Theatre of the Halifax Grammar School on Saturday at 7 p.m. And she's teaching a master class for the first time.
"Last year I did Anastasia and I was so nervous," she says, noting the fact she can see very clearly who is in the audience makes it more nerve-racking.
"I love coming back. I stay with my family and spend time with them."
Watch Cruddas dance today through Friday from 10 a.m. to noon and 2-3 p.m. The short performances will be followed by a Q&A. Kroll-Jackson, who is excited about presenting dance in the art gallery, plans to bring her daughters, aged nine and seven, and her five-year-old son on Friday, a professional development day.
