Here's a long-awaited response to gay bullying from the API community. The PSA was directed by Ben Wong, produced by Pan Asian Community Together with the song "vOX" performed and kindly provided by The Shanghai Restoration Project. There was a frenzy in the Asian American community fearing that Asian Americans would be tarnished as being homophobic after the tragic suicide of Tyler Clementi who was bullied by Dharun Ravi and Molly Wei, both Asian American. I wasn't really sure how grounded that fear was… Remember mass murderer Cho Seung-Hui?

text: Governance is very much a current concern in the public interest. The global economic recession, from which we are just emerging, has highlighted failures in governance and regulation with much blame being laid at the feet of regulators and demands for perpetrators to be sanctioned accordingly. A key to managing the prevention of future financial crisis is concerned with the recognition and regulation of a truly global market for finance, trade, labour etc. and accepting that there are different perspectives from different parts of the world. Published in association with the Social Responsibility Research Network, Volume 2 in this new and exciting series recognises these issues and takes a global interdisciplinary perspective to the matter of governance in the business environment.Contributions range from the UK, Portugal and Belgium to Brazil, Japan, China and Malaysia, and topics of investigation include: governance and the management of global markets; governance mechanisms of strategic alliances in the Japanese car industry; multinational corporations and democratic governance; market governance to governance in the market - a return to old order; and a socio-legal framework for governance.

Comments about Royal Robbins Essential Ruched Shirt - Women's:
I originally bought this top in black for summer travel in Europe, later buying the nile (turquoise) color as well. The casual-but-not-sloppy style goes well with the casual a-line knee length skirts or capri length pants I prefer for summer travel clothing in Mediterranean countries.
The ruching will flatter most figure types. I am 5'3", so the top is a little longer on me than on the model, but the ruching makes it easy to adjust the hem to sit a little higher on my hips.
If all the rinse water is spun out by machine (or pressed out in a dry towel when handwashed), the shirt will air-dry overnight if it hangs in a breezy location. The stretchy fabric feels more like cotton than synthetic knit, and its medium weight isn't too heavy for very warm weather, nor it is too light or see-thru (though I haven't tried the white color). While the V-neck is a good depth in general (certainly not "nun-ish", but also not too deep), I needed to wear a neck scarf with it on sunny days to protect my upper chest from the sun.
One small criticism is that the fabric pilled a little bit where my cross-body bag strap rubbed against the fabric while I was traveling in Spain recently, but the pilling is not very noticeable (very, very small pills) without close inspection, certainly less noticeable than has occurred on some other synthetic fabric travel shirts and tops I have owned.

Comments about Royal Robbins Essential Ruched Shirt - Women's:
I got this at the store today. It is the perfect length on me (5'5" 128lbs) and it is so cute. I got the green.
Best Uses
Comments about Royal Robbins Essential Ruched Shirt - Women's:
This ruched tee is a step up from a basic tee. I am a 34DD and this shirt accommodates my chest size, while still hugging at the waist. The ruching camouflages bra lines and flaws.
Best Uses
Comments about Royal Robbins Essential Ruched Shirt - Women's:
I'm so glad there are stylish tops for women that also have UPF protection. This top is well-made and comfortable. Re: sizing, I think it's more of an athletic fit. So, if you are busty, have a large frame, or a post-baby belly, you may want to size up.

Students can choose to complete a Bachelor of Science Degree with either an emphasis in Aviation Administration or as a Professional Pilot. Associate degree options are also available. Students who are not able to attend UVU in person can complete either degree online, with the flight training portion of the professional pilot degree being completed conveniently at a local airport.
Bachelor of Science in Aviation
Emphasis: Professional Pilot
This emphasis helps prepare the student to enter the work force as a professional pilot at an intermediate to advance level. The degree builds on the foundation in the A.S. and A.A.S. degrees. Students can obtain additional advanced ratings and deepen their knowledge of the pilot profession through an impressive range of course subject matter. Specific courses are designed to help the student pilot receive the training necessary to qualify for employment with a commuter airline.
Emphasis: Aviation Administration
This emphasis is designed to develop practical leadership skills for a variety of careers in the aviation industry. Courses are based on real world aviation needs and are developed through ties with industry experts. The curriculum will prepare students with a broad range of knowledge and skills, including airline and airport management, aviation security and safety, marketing, aviation finance, human resources, and many others.
Associate in Science
The A.S. degree is designed to prepare the student with all the ratings necessary to be qualified for entry-level jobs in the aviation field. Obtaining an associate degree helps the graduate prepare for a diversity of job-related responsibilities and prepares students to enter directly into the B.S. degree.
Associate in Applied Science
The A.A.S. degree prepares the student by concentrating on aviation courses. It is commonly referred to as the job-ready degree, preparing the student for entry level positions in the industry.
Regional Accreditation
UVU is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU) which applies to the university as a whole. Additional information on UVU's NWCCU accreditation and specialized accreditations/certifications is available at http://www.uvu.edu/accreditation/

Additional Information
Lastminute.com goes 'back to roots'
Lastminute.com is overhauling its brand positioning with a new campaign this week, which will feature the business going "back to its roots" as a last-minute leisure provider that offers five-star hotels for three-star prices.
Lastminute.com: going back to its roots
The dotcom brand is launching a press and outdoor campaign this Friday (30 March). It has dropped its 'Stories start here' strapline used in activity last year, simply using its brand name as an endline.
Each ad is backed by a price-led offer available on the site, focusing on the brand's hotel offering, while more targeted activity will showcase the brand's theatre, spas and restaurant products. It is supported by extensive social media activity.
Kathy Maxwell, Lastminute.com's head of brand and PR, has led the campaign while the business continues to look for a replacement for Mark Fells, the company's former marketing director, who left the business in October last year.
Maxwell told Marketing that the new activity represented a "transformation" of the business itself as it "gets back to its roots", while focusing on the brand's pride within its product and customers.
She said: "This campaign is about the brand getting its strength back, focusing on Lastminute's core message of making the unobtainable, obtainable."
The activity shows ordinary people in luxury situations booked through Lastminute.com, using different lines for each execution, such as "Showers with the power of Niagara for everyone."
The outdoor activity will run in London throughout April and May. Maxwell said plans for national print and TV activity were "in the pipeline".

Posted: Dec 7, 2012 4:31 PM by The Associated Press
PHOENIX (AP) - An Arizona woman who was convicted in her young son's disappearance nearly three years ago has been sentenced to 5 1/4 years in prison.
Twenty-six-year-old Elizabeth Johnson will get credit for about three years that she has been in jail.
Johnson was convicted of custodial interference and unlawful imprisonment in October in the 2009 disappearance of her then-8-month-old son, Gabriel. The jury failed to reach a verdict on a kidnapping charge.
Authorities say Johnson told the boy's father that she killed Gabriel and dumped him in a trash bin, but she recanted and told police she gave the infant to a couple at a San Antonio, Texas, park. She never provided the couple's names.
Authorities don't know if Gabriel is still alive.
Prosecutors alleged that Johnson ran off to Texas with the child as a way to retaliate against his father for ending their tumultuous relationship.

Pippit in my front yard May 1st next to chairs I should be sitting on with a beer soaking up the afternoon sun. Whatever. |
As the morning progressed (or degraded, more like it) yesterday, my motivation to run met a similar demise. Tuesday I got in my first good run since Zion (heck it was only 10 days after but felt like months). I just headed out with no real intention and ended up with a nice 1:40 run with some decent power and snap and, most importantly, enjoyment. Feels good to be up high again breathing probably the purest clean air found in the US. It was a good run on several levels and gave me time to think clearly instead of the normal cacophony of clamoring thoughts and images and words in my head. I'm looking forward to a similar retreat during the 18 hours of solo racing this weekend. Just me, many miles of single track, and my bike (Hope), along with a bunch of VFuel and chamois cream...
The break in consistent training surrounding the Zion 100 has been both pleasant and nerve twisting. "Am I losing fitness?" "Are my legs getting softer?" "Is that yet another grey hair in my sideburns?" The reality, of course, is that things are fine (except for the grey hair). Tomorrow night, starting at midnight (god, how I'll stay awake that late just to make it to the start line is beyond me - I'm typically in bed before 9) I'll be lined up amongst 100s of uber bright head and handlebar lights with visions of my Temecula crash swirling around with familiar adrenaline and excitement of what a day and and half of constant racing will bring.
Most of my excitement in heading back to Fruita (other than warm sun and riding) is visiting Dennis and Mary again. They're likely getting sick of me (and Pippit) and the fact that every time I see them I've either just finished a 100 mile run, broken some ribs and thumb, or generally beat the hell up and hobbling around their nice home while they cast glances my way that I perceive as wondering whether I'll die from my crippling lifestyle mixed with hopes of regaining their peace and privacy at some point. Regardless, both Pippit and I enjoy every minute spent with them.

Art & Design gift guide 2008
Bitchin stitching
The gorgeous photos; witty, substantive essays; and handy timeline and websites included in Handmade Nation: The Rise of DIY, Art, Craft, and Design (Princeton Architectural Press, $24.95) should appeal to both skilled artists and casual shoppers at the Renegade Craft Fair, where authors Faythe Levine and Cortney Heimerl conducted some of their research. Handmade Nation compiles interviews with 24 fashion designers, jewelry makers and other indie crafters from across the U.S. Their workwhether twee, political or porntasticreflects the growing number of alternatives to corporate crap. Available at Prairie Avenue Bookshop (418 S Wabash Ave).
This American idol
Lots of people have crushes on This American Life host Ira Glass, but Abbey Hambrights probably the only one whos created a felt puppet in his image. The Chicago artist, who sells her wares under the name Abbey Christine, has such an extensive line of puppets that you can spend hours making up conversations between Glass and Barack Obama as well as film characters like Harold and Maude, the Royal Tenenbaums and Lloyd Dobler. But then we suggest you get some therapy. Available at Renegade Handmade (1924 W Division St, 773-227-2707, renegadehandmade.com), $15.
Poster children
For its first series of art prints, Ravenswood-based studio Sonnenzimmer (whose posters for bands like the Walkmen and Silver Jews reflect a fanatical attention to detail) collaborated with Chris Kerr, Anders Nilsen and Carrie Pollack. Their editions of 75 each couldnt be more different: Pollack came up with a complex, multilayered abstract design; Nilsens barren landscape resembles his distinctive comics, and Kerr produced a twisted but hilarious depiction of sharks attacking a shipwreck. Available at sonnenzimmer.com/artprints.html, $220.
Happy scrappy
Weve enjoyed Jessica Helfands graceful, erudite essays on the popular blog Design Observer since 2003. The graphic designers Scrapbooks: An American History (Yale University Press, $45) is just as impressiveand at 2.8 pounds, this lavishly illustrated survey is much less ephemeral. Marshaling more than 200 scrapbooks from the past 200 years, Helfand traces how Americans from all walks of life transformed collections of family mementos, news clippings and other objects into personal narratives.

EOF - The Bigger Switch
I've always liked Nicholas Carr, even when I didn't agree with him. He's a clear thinker, a solid writer, a fearless partisan for sanity and a member of nobody's cabal. His landmark 2003 article, "IT Doesn't Matter", was voted the best of that year by the staff of Harvard Business Review. In 2004, Nick expanded that article into the book Does IT Matter?. He followed in 2005 with "The End of Corporate Computing", in MIT Sloan Management Review. As usual, few reviewers agreed with him. Including me.
His main point: IT functions were turning into "commodity inputs" developed outside of IT organizations and becoming profoundly generic. He added that IT was declining in strategic importance within organizations, and instead was doomed to perform purely functional roles. From the Preface to Does IT Matter?:
IT's transformation from a set of proprietary and heterogeneous systems into a shared and standardized infrastructure is a natural, necessary, and healthy process. It is only by becoming an infrastructure—a common resource—that IT can deliver its greatest economic and social benefits.
I didn't see how much this thesis had in common with my own observations about open-source development until I read Nick's latest book, The Big Switch: Rewiring the World, from Edison to Google. In it, Nick stays on the supply side of technology, detailing the sources of IT's—and everybody's—commodity inputs from pure utility service providers: Google/YouTube, Amazon, Skype and PlentyofFish. He sees good and bad in the trends. For example, although he agrees with some observations in Lewis Hyde's classic The Gift: Imagination and the Erotic Life of Property and Yochai Benkler's more recent The Wealth of Networks, he also dismisses their optimism:
...there's a naiveté, or at least a short-sightedness, to these arguments as well. The utopian rhetoric ignores the fact that the market economy is rapidly subsuming the gift economy. The "gifts of time and ideas" are becoming inputs to the creation of commodities...businesses are using the masses of Internet gift givers as a global pool of cut-rate labor.
Yet, there is more to a gift economy than the charity implied by the g-word. As Eric S. Raymond put it in "Homesteading the Noosphere":
Abundance makes command relationships difficult to sustain and exchange relationships an almost pointless game. In gift cultures, social status is determined not by what you control but by what you give away....
This abundance creates a situation in which the only available measure of competitive success is reputation among one's peers.
Eric's essay appeared on the Web in 1998. At that time, the LAMP stack was still four letters long. Now that stack is a pile that exceeds a half-million code bases. Most of that code was produced originally for very practical reasons: to solve a problem, to add a capability, to get some work done—or, in hacker parlance, to "scratch an itch". Those code bases are what organizations, including companies large and small, use to build countless new "solutions" and businesses. What they benefit from is less the value of gifting and peer esteem than the value of re-usability, which matters not only to hackers but also to anybody who wants to save money and time.
Peer-built commodity code has given us re-usability out the wazoo. In fact, we have so much of it that the builder of anything technical has to cope with a surfeit of free loose parts, as if sitting in a vast bin of Lego pieces, all seemingly from different sets—a little Star Fighter here, a little Train Station there, a lot of who-knows-what—all of it useful, or it wouldn't have been made in the first place.
It is usefulness that lies behind the creation, expansion and ubiquitizing of what Nick calls the World Wide Computer. If it weren't for the LAMP heap, we would not have the scale of freeness and abundance required to scale up a Flickr, an Amazon Web Service or a Google Cloud Computer.
Consistent with Nick's prophesies, I've been hearing lately about troubles in IT-land. It seems that the gears where IT meets HR are stripped by the independence of what Peter Drucker prophetically called Knowledge Workers. It seems these workers are getting, and sharing, most of their knowledge through commoditized external services outside of IT's control. I know one company where the internal IT system is so locked-down and firewalled against usefulness that employees in one division are getting most of their work done on their own computers, with their own cell phones, using utility "social networking" services from Twitter and Facebook.
There is a natural tendency, of course, to imagine utopian scenarios for the future of the Net. Being an natural optimist, I have gone overboard in that direction more than once—and have been called on it by Nick himself, repeatedly. What still gives me hope, however, even after I discount my own optimism, is the almost brutally meritocratic and practical nature of open-source goods production, and the abundance of smart sources from which they come.
I don't see utopian ideals behind what Alvin Toffler called the Information Age (in The Third Wave, which came out in 1980). Rather, I see practical ones, modeled on the construction industry, complete with "architects", "designers" and "builders". The difference is in the materials. In the physical world, we are bound by the laws of physics and the periodic table. In the networked world, we are bound by what the human mind can produce. We have no equivalents of rock and wood, because our raw materials are far less limited and far more abundant than both. This creates new problems and opportunities in equal profusion.
But, for better and worse, the source is us.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

President's Column
Spring 2009
During this past academic year, Hofstra University has been fortunate to host a presidential debate, to move forward with a new School of Medicine in partnership with North Shore-LIJ Health System, and to create many new academic centers and programs. All of these initiatives are successful because of the dedication and innovation of our faculty. The success we have seen this past academic year is a continuation and expansion of a tradition of faculty excellence in both teaching and scholarship.
The articles you will read in this edition of Hofstra Horizons are no exception. Associate Professor of Psychology Vincent Brown and Associate Professor of Computer Science Simona Doboli partner in studying a model that examines brainstorming and creativity. Dr. Cynthia Bogard, director of the Center for Civic Engagement (CCE), illustrates the many ways that the CCE promotes democracy and civic engagement on our campus. Gerda Kamberova, associate professor and chair of the Department of Computer Science, explains the concept of computer vision and application, while Dr. Denny Taylor, professor and doctoral director of literacy studies, explains the mission of and need for the newly launched International Center for Everybody's Child.
This group of articles illustrates what makes Hofstra and its faculty special, in that scholarship and practical application, thoughtful theory and dedicated action, come together to educate our students and make the world around us a better place.

Osho,The fruit falls on the ground when it is ripe. One day you will leave us, and it will be impossible to have another master in your place.How can anybody else be the substitute for the Master of Masters?Osho, when you leave the physical body, will your meditation techniques help our inner growth as they do now?
My approach to your growth is basically to make you independent of me. Any kind of dependence is a slavery, and spiritual dependence is the worst slavery of all.
I have been making every effort to make you aware of your individuality, your freedom, your absolute capacity to grow without any help from anybody. Your growth is something intrinsic to your being. It does not come from outside, it is not an imposition; it is an unfolding.
All the meditation techniques that I have given to you are not dependent on me – my presence or absence will not make any difference – they are dependent on you. It is not my presence, but your presence that is needed for them to work. It is not my being here but your being here, your being in the present, your being alert and aware that is going to help.
I can understand your question and its relevance. It is not irrelevant. The whole past of man is, in different ways, a history of exploitation. And even the so-called spiritual people could not resist the temptation to exploit. Out of a hundred masters, ninety-nine percent were trying to impose the idea that, "without me you cannot grow, no progress is possible. Give me your whole responsibility." But the moment you give your whole responsibility to somebody, unknowingly you are also giving your whole freedom.
And naturally, all those masters had to die one day, but they have left long lines of slaves: Christians, Jews, Hindus, Mohammedans. What are these people? Why should somebody be a Christian? If you can be someone, be a Christ, never be a Christian. Are you absolutely blind to the humiliation when you call yourself a Christian, a follower of someone who died two thousand years ago? The whole of humanity is following the dead. Is it not weird that the living should follow the dead, that the living should be dominated by the dead, that the living should depend on the dead and their promises that "we will be coming to save you". None of them has come to save you. In fact, nobody can save anybody else; it goes against the foundational truth of freedom and individuality.
As far as I am concerned, I am simply making every effort to make you free from everybody – including me – and to just be alone on the path of searching. This existence respects a person who dares to be alone in the seeking of truth. Slaves are not respected by existence at all. They do not deserve any respect; they don't respect themselves, how can they expect existence to be respectful towards them?

Spend bonus on burton ak3l or 2l?
Hey Gang. Received a $1500 bonus today for the first time in years. I can finally purchase the goretex jacket/pant combo I have always wanted. I was thinking about going with the AK3L pants because pants take a beating, but was thinking about the 2L for jacket. Or should I just say screw it and buy the 3L jacket as well? What the hell is the difference and is it worth it? Any insight is greatly appreciated.

I think you should get in on my virus group buy instead!!!
That said, if both will have the same warmth, but the 3L will have better moisture resistance, etc. I'd get the 3L. Gear lasts me a LONG time so it's worth buying good stuff. I still wear a jacket from about 10 years ago! |

I did a little research because I always wondered what the big difference is between 3l and 2l and found a very technical description. Ill save you guys the reading and it just comes down to the 3L being more durable and having more breathability in really instense conditions. The 3L will also feel and sound crunchier If I were you I would probably just go with whichever model has the better look that I like because all AK gear has a lifetime warranty. Unless you do splitboarding or BC riding the 3L is probably overkill

The AK Stagger jacket has some zonal insulation, so it is warmer than the other 2Ls. I went with that jacket last season and have absolutely no regrets. I used to have some Burton Stagger pants years ago, but they fell apart at the cuffs... I have since gone with some Volcom Gore-tex pants and they are much more functional and feel more bombproof.
If you like to layer, get the 3L and call it a day. If you hate layering up a bunch (like me), go for the Stagger with a bit of insulation. Last edited by BigmountainVMD; 11-02-2012 at 07:37 PM. |

For the past few months there have been calls for Australia to become a 'Silicon Beach', where technology entrepreneurs can build new global businesses, experiment with start-ups and rival foreign innovators.
Australia's location, time zone and existing creative community makes the country an ideal incubator for this and, when the National Broadband Network is rolled out in the next few years, the country will have a vastly improved global reach.
It is because of these factors that digital economists believe Australia has the critical ingredients needed to succesfully compete in the near future with the world's leading digital economies, such as the United States.

(MUHN-jing) The act of altering an e-mail address posted on a Web page to make it unreadable to bots and harvesters that crawl the Web for e-mail addresses to include on spam lists. Munging is where the e-mail address is not fully written out but is still understandable to anyone reading the Web page. The characters to the left of the @ symbol in your e-mail address should not be altered when munging.
For example, munging the email@example.com e-mail address could result in something like fakeaddress-AT-webopedia-DOT-com.
The term munge is frequently defined as "mash until no good" and is also called address munging.

From power-washing your deck to raising plant beds and building a new fence, what are the step-by-step instructions to accomplishing some of the most common yard projects?
MainStreet did some digging to find eight easy do-it-yourself backyard projects, all from the design experts themselves.
1. Raising Plant Beds
Raised plant beds offer a modern and clean look. Here are some steps to get this project finished on your own, courtesy of home improvement expert Mark Clement, co-host of "My Fix-It-Up Life":
Step 1: Build the frames
Begin by building the top and bottom frames out of 1x2 western red cedar strips. From there, fasten two 26'' strips to two 13'' strips to form a rectangular frame. Apply some wood glue to the strips, then nail them together with a single nail (this will hold them more securely). Pre-drill the ends to keep them from splitting, then insert a screw in each corner.
Step 2: Attach side panels
Stand the two frames on their sides and apply some glue to the insides of each bottom. Attach four side panels to each long side, smooth out the sides and nail from the inside to hold them in place. Repeat on the other side of the box.
Steps 3 & 4: Attach the end and bottom panels
Next, stand the half-completed box on its end and apply more glue to the inside face of the bottom end frames. Attach two panels to each end just like the side panels and repeat on the opposite end. Attach three bottom panels to form the base of the planter box, using glue and screws. Drill several holes in the panels so water can escape.
2. Power-washing Your Deck
Hosing down a decade-old deck won't be enough to get the job done. That's when a power washer comes in handy. The best part is that you don't need to spend hundreds of dollars buying a power washer, since you'll only need it for a few hours. Save money by renting one at your local hardware store.
As for how to properly power wash your deck once you have the machine, expert Mark Clement says too much pressure can cause damage. "Just the right amount of power washing can brighten the space. And for a more natural look add a clear finish or dark-colored stain."
The finish will protect the deck from further wear and tear throughout the year.
3. Sanding and Staining
Some decks need more than just a power washing. The more intensive task of sanding and staining will take at least a weekend to complete, but the step-by-step strategies from Alex Roberts, president of Mr. Handyman will help give your deck the rehab it needs.
Step 1: Inspect
Examine the entire deck for chipped and peeling paint. Use a dust mask and remove loose pieces with a paint scraper or resort to renting a disc sander. If some areas are still rough, sand again with a fine-grit sandpaper.
Step 2: Clean
Prepare your deck by pressure washing it and remember to wear safety goggles. Allow the deck to dry completely.
Step 3: Stain
Latex or oil-based stain (choose one with sealant included!) can be easily applied to the floor boards with a paint roller a few boards at a time. Have a clean paint brush ready to spread the excess stain before it sets.
Step 4: Wait
Wait at least three days before walking on the freshly stained surface.
4. Flower Planters
Now that you've finished perfecting the look of your deck, it's time to decorate! "One of the easiest ways to add color and fragrance to any patio is by adding flowers as a finishing touch," says Roberts.
But Roberts tells us there are a few important factors to keep in mind when building a flower planter:
• Make sure to create holes at the bottom of the box for drainage and install a strong support system for each box.
• Select low-maintenance, colorful flowers such as coneflowers and Shasta daisies. Consider adding marigolds and bee balm to naturally repel mosquitoes.
• Ensure your potting soil is moist and leave at least two inches from the top of the planter if you want to include mulch after planting. Add your flowers and water.
5. Patio Furniture
What's a well-maintained, flower filled deck without furniture? If your current patio table and chairs is on its last legs, before you buy a new furniture set take into account Roberts' mini-guide below for purchasing outdoor furniture meant to last:
• Weather-resistant pillows in bold colors bring comfort and zest to the seating area, while floor pillows add extra seating.
• Make sure your patio umbrella is weighted to prevent high winds from taking hold. Many glass top tables have been broken by high winds.
• And finally, Roberts says wind chimes and an outdoor clock/thermometer are affordable outdoor accessories to spruce up the area.
6. Building a Fence
Installing a fence around the perimeter of your property could costs thousands, but is certainly necessary for safety and privacy reasons. Barbara Hastings, senior manager in marketing communications at Troy-Bilt, a manufacturer of outdoor power equipment, offers the following tips for constructing the perfect fence (though this project is likely for the experienced DIYers.)
Step 1: Spacing
To begin, you need to plot out the fence outline and mark all corners. Posts should be spaced six to eight feet apart.
Step 2: Posts
Set the fence posts at least two feet into the ground. This should equal one-third of the overall length of the post. Dig post holes at marked locations and add gravel in the bottom of each hole. Place posts in holes and fill with concrete to two inches above ground level -- then brace the posts.
Step 3: Rails
Cut your fence rails once the posts have set. Nail them four feet apart from each other. Attach bottom stringers to fence posts with screws and nails -- usually six inches up from the grade. Attach top stringers to the fence posts approximately six inches below the top of the pickets.
Step 4: Pickets
Once you have determined how many pickets you will need, cut them to length. Lay out the pickets side by side to determine how wide the spaces between them should be. Attach pickets to the stringers with screws and nails. Using a spacer block can help with space consistency.
Step 5: Protection
Once you have completed construction, remember to apply paint or stain to protect the fence from inclement weather.
7. The Birdhouse
You read that correctly -- the birdhouse. It's a common backyard accessory, but whether or not you have one in your yard, it may not have a copper roof. Eric Berman of Erikson Birdhouse shares the following tips for how to construct a striking copper roof for your birdhouse, bound to stand out and garner compliments from guests (and neighbors!).
Step 1: Calculate
Determine the dimensions of your birdhouse's roof to estimate the appropriate size of sheet metal to purchase. Most home improvement stores will cut the sheet metal for you.
Step 2: Bend
Use the bar folder to bend the edges over two to three times around the perimeter. This provides a sturdy, blunt edge for the roof and improves the look of the finished product. After the edges have been folded, you can easily bend the roof with your hands to fit it onto the birdhouse structure.
Step 3: Customize
For a patina look, use the metal spritzer to lightly mist the copper roof. Allow to dry completely. For a newer, polished copper look, omit this step.
Step 4: Attach
Align the copper roof to your structure. On the copper sheet, mark where the nails will attach the roof to the birdhouse. Once the marks have been made, drill holes into the roof using a metal-cutting drill attachment, making sure the holes align with the wooden structure of the birdhouse. Using the copper nails, attach the roof to your wooden birdhouse.
8. Barbecue Cleaning
Now that your deck is looking brand-new and your outdoor furniture is in tip-top shape, it's time to start grilling. A filthy barbecue impacts the taste of the food. A dirty grill doesn't mean you need to replace it. Instead of buying a new grill, cleaning your current one is a cost effective way to grill as if you bought the barbecue yesterday. Bruce Yacko, CEO of JAWS Cleaners, shares his expert tips with MainStreet:
Step 1: Heat
Heat the grill to a low heat and use a stiff wire brush for the grate(s). Be careful to avoid coming in direct contact with the hot grates.
Step 2: Clean
Next, after the grates cool, spray on a nontoxic multipurpose solution. Wait a few minutes to allow the cleaner to penetrate the surface before wiping with the rag. Use the wire brush to remove any remaining build-up. Next, wipe clean with the rag. Be sure to also use this on the exterior of your grill, including the handles and knobs.
Step 3: Rinse
Rinse with water -- it's that simple!
As for how to ensure a clean grill going forward? "Clean the grill and the grates (once the grill cools down) after your next grilling to make things easier," Yacko advises.
