Update a Bathtub Surround Using Beadboard
Use beadboard and trim to give a contractor-grade bathtub a designer update.
Beadboard Bathtub Panel 03:56
Here's a quick and affordable way to get the look of a built-in bathtub.
Materials Needed:
- standard bathtub
- 4' x 8' sheet of beadboard
- table saw
- chop saw
- level
- 1' x 3' PVC trim
- silicone adhesive
- caulk gun
- paint roller
- paint pan
- pan liner
- 2" paintbrush
- semi-gloss exterior paint
- router
- clamps
- tape measure
- pencil
- note pad
- medium-grit sanding block
- damp cloth
Measure Tub Surround
Use tape measure to determine length and height of tub and note the dimensions.
Create a Ledge
Using router, create a ledge notch spanning entire length of back side of trim.
Cut Trim
Referring to the dimensions, measure, then mark trim with pencil and level. Cut trim to size using chop saw, mitering corners.
Cut Beadboard
Referring to measurements on note pad, mark beadboard with level and pencil, then cut beadboard to size with table saw (Image 1). Take note of where beadboard grooves will butt up (Image 2).
Sand and Paint
Using medium-grit sanding block, sand front of beadboard. Wipe away dust with damp cloth. Using the roller, apply two coats of exterior paint to front and back of beadboard. With a brush, add two coats of paint to front of trim.
Assemble Panel
Apply silicone adhesive to all four edges of beadboard, then fit beadboard into grooved trim pieces. Attach all four trim pieces with miters lined up. Clamp beadboard panels to trim pieces, let silicone dry for at least two hours.
Install Panel
Apply silicone adhesive directly to front of tub using caulk gun (Image 1). Press panel into place, then add clamps. Using caulk gun, add bead of silicone to gaps between panel and tub surround, wipe with damp cloth. Allow at least 24 hours for adhesive to dry (Image 2).

JES from IL wrote (September 06, 2012):
Quality is sleaz. Ever since Williamsburg has stopped selling these bed spreads and farmed their name out they are not the of the same great quality. Why do you have to make quality based on profit. This is not a real cotton bedspread that is the true heavy cotton I have looked and looked for the williamsburg cotton bedspread but you have missed the mark. Im sorry I have to keep it but I'm in need. Disappointed in the Williamsburg name and now cant trust it.

Elizabeth from MO wrote (March 30, 2012):
This bedspread has a pretty quilted pattern and a lovely color. I asked for color samples so I could match our wallpaper and they came quickly. Once I made the selection and ordered the bedspread, it came within a week. I ordered a king as we have a very high queen bed, and it fits perfectly. I particularly like how soft and comfortable the spread is to sleep under. We were looking for something cooler than our down comforter. Very pleased.
3 Stars William & Mary Bedspread
Donna Peterson from CA wrote (January 20, 2012):
The queen size bedspread is the only one wide enough for a double bed if you want the spread to come down to the floor on the sides like the picture. It's too long for a double but I wanted the width so I ordered a queen. Wouldn't be like the picture in the catalog if you didn't order up. Size isn't like the picture otherwise. I kept it.

Very much liked the bedspread. Only problem, I store a few things under the bed and wanted the bedspread to cover down to the ground on both sides. Unfortunately, it only can accommodate one side fully to the floor since my bed is too high. Very nice fabric and keeps it shape. thanks, Ann.

This was just what I was looking for. It has been difficult to find a king-sized metelasse big enough to fit the bed all the way down to the side rails in a suitable color. This one fits and does not shrink in the dryer. The linen color is perfect. It is also great for a bed used by 2 dogs for napping and playing since it's easy to throw in the washer and cleans nicely.

For all its struggles and all the calls for Brady Hoke's job, Michigan can become bowl-eligible this week with a win over visiting Maryland on Saturday. The Wolverines have struggled at times this season, but a winning record is still within their reach. The Terrapins - in their first year in the Big Ten - already have the required six wins for a bowl game, but they'd certainly like to make their first trip to the Big House for a conference game a memorable one.
Michigan has won three of its last four outings in large part to its defense, which has given up 32 points in the victories. When the Terrapins have been successful, their defense has been solid, and when it hasn't been, they've struggled. Maryland has allowed an average of 47 points in its three conference losses to Ohio State, Wisconsin and Michigan State.
TV: 3:30 p.m. ET, Big Ten Network. LINE: Michigan -5
ABOUT MARYLAND (6-4, 3-3 Big Ten): It's coming to the point that even if he doesn't want to make a switch at quarterback, Maryland coach Randy Edsall has at least opened the door to the possibility. With starter C.J. Brown struggling with nine interceptions against 11 touchdowns and averaging fewer than 200 passing yards, Edsall has to at least consider a switch to wake up an anemic offense. "If a situation would call for that, then you have to be able to make that decision," Edsall told reporters. "And when you make those decisions, you've got to say, 'OK, can the person that you're going to put in come in and do a better job than the guy that you're taking out?'"
ABOUT MICHIGAN (5-5, 3-3): The Wolverines will be without defensive end Frank Clark for the rest of the season after he was kicked off the team Monday after being arrested and jailed on suspicion of domestic violence over the weekend. Although Clark was the team's best pass rusher, the team is confident that junior Mario Ojemudia and sophomore Taco Charlton can fill the void. "The next man has to step up, as a defense as a whole, that's how we have to look at it," cornerback Ray Taylor told mlive.com. "The next man has to play just as hard as Frank did and just as good as Frank."
1. Maryland will be without freshman WR Juwann Winfree, who was suspended for two games for a violation of the student-athletic code of conduct. The Terrapins are also likely to be without top receiver Stefon Diggs, who has a lacerated kidney.
2. Michigan has recorded a first-half shutout in each of its last two games.
3. The Terrapins and Wolverines have squared off three previous times - all in Ann Arbor - with Michigan coming out on top each time.
PREDICTION: Michigan 28, Maryland 20

Go check out what's happening over at the G-Man's Friday Flash 55.
03 September 2010
5:50 am
six ducks flew silently overhead
while the sky turned from pale orange
to pink tinged with crystalline blue
before becoming completely gray
for moments there were no sounds
disturbing the early morning peace
one car, then two drove by
the crows began squawking
a cardinal called out
recyclables clinked to the curb
morning was broken
Go check out what's happening over at the G-Man's Friday Flash 55.
30 comments:
oh cheryl -i loved your 55 cause you described this morning so well.
I also love mornings - and usually i go by bike to work and leave at 5h40 in the morning - and i just love to ride my bike for this lonely hour, watch the fog on the meadows - enjoy the quietness and when i arrive at my workplace i feel like i had a holiday...

Hypnos News and Announcements / Re: 2008 outlook for Hypnos (and Binary and Hypnos Secret Sounds)
« on: May 01, 2008, 08:57:39 PM »
I have to agree with Antdude. I wish I could get everything ambient from Hypnos. There are other labels that do a good job. but none give the service that I get from Hypnos. Whenever I see something that looks interesting to me, I always do a search at the Hypnos store to see if I can get it there first. Lena and Mike do a great job. [End of advertisement ] Harry

Climate Change Topics
Democracy Now! has long covered the issue of climate change. We reported from the U.N. Climate Change Conferences in Warsaw, Doha, Durban, Cancún, and Copenhagen, and from the World Peoples' Summit on Climate Change hosted by Bolivia. We've interviewed many of the world's top scientists, writers, policy makers, activists, indigenous leaders and academics on the issue. We continue to follow the environmental movements to directly confront the root causes of global warming, and to advocate for climate justice, and sustainable alternatives.

Free speech and license plates
By Frank Stasio
At the end of November, a federal court in North Carolina granted an injunction against license plates with a choose life message. The state's General Assembly approved the plate, but they denied opponents' requests for a plate with a pro-choice message. The court ruled that the state couldn't grant one without the other. It went against the rights of private speech, the court said. Elon University Associate Professor of Law Scott Gaylord disagrees. He thinks the license plate is protected government speech.

If you look at the white labs website, there appears to be yeasts for "professionals" and "homebrewers." Does anyone know the difference between the two?
Probably some breweries pay them to culture and maintain their specific yeast strains. I would also guess that if you buy as a professional you're buying in MUCH larger quantities.
If you look closely (and this is also the case for Wyeast), there are many yeasts in common to both lists. And they do maintain pure strains for breweries, which are, on rare occasions, offered to homebrewers.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!" "I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
Yeah, many breweries use White labs yeasts as their "house strains". St. George and Alewerks here use White labs.

One man and his dog (and other pictures)
These small, yappy-type dogs, as Eddie Izzard calls them, are unaccountably popular here in Hanoi.

As always Jon, a great set of images. I really look forward to seeing your posts. Thanks you for sharing.

Thanks Dave. I've just been enjoying looking at your images of London. They're making me a little homesick, but in a good way.
June 11, 2014 at 9:53 pm
Some great images as always. You always make me wanna get back out there (even though it means spending another day like today editing afterward – one of these days I'll actually catch up on the massive backlog I have…).
June 8, 2014 at 5:18 pm
Thanks Adam. I know what you mean, but as I've not been shooting much lately, I'm enjoying building up a bit of a backlog.

I imagine a world where TT players and SR players are best friends and skip through sunny fields together! Oh, and where TT gets fixed cuz it's broken.
Aww.... thread got moved to TT forums where it won't get any attention ever I guess I'll just let it die.
i love how this threads been around for forever and theres the very first red post right below it LOL It got moved?!?!? was wondering where this threads been if it was here LOL MOVED AND NO COMMENT GG RIOT YOU GUYS ****ING SUCK
THIS IS so retarted, FUCCCCK NO extra items for 3v3 thats dumb, also, they are nerfing flash, ALSO dont QQ about an easy dragon?
Sialb Trebor
bump this thread but also 1 thing i hate bout TT is that if u have 2 good players and 1 bad player u lose... TT is to be played w/ friends.
Troy L Jenkins
The kind of love TT needs first is lets call it 'advertizing" to get people playing it, the masses dont care about tweaks, but once the masses come, then the company takes notice and does the tweaks. So like, a "Twisted Treeline Showcase" on the launcher page for instance is the kind of love TT needs first.

I think it needs to be shown on the Champion Spotlights. Phreak shows SR and Dom, but no TT. That's ****. The map exists for us to play on, I think it should be given the same dues the other maps get. Personally I don't like the length of SR games and I HATE Dominion (because it sucks), so TT fits me perfectly. My friends are the same way.

"I think he dealt with some typical rookie issues in learning the offense," Mayhew told the team's website. "I think he got a lot better as the season went on, even after the hamstring (which forced him to miss three games).
"It may have calmed him down a little bit and I think he played better later in the year. Certainly I would expect better production next year. He's certainly capable, he certainly has the ability. I think he's going to be better the second year in our offense. I think a lot of our players are going to be better the second year in our offense and think he's one of them. I do expect more from him."
Ebron was targeted 46 times, and he had four drops.
"(The stats) might not have been what you guys all expected for me to do, or things like that, but it definitely will improve," Ebron said.
Ebron totaled 25 catches for 248 yards and one touchdown in 13 games (seven starts). Ebron is so confident his numbers will improve that he feels he can be in the same ballpark as Giants rookie receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who totaled 91 catches for 1,305 yards and 12 touchdowns in '14.
"Absolutely," Ebron said. "It's myself. I hold myself to high standards. So I always see a lot of things happening, and in the future, maybe it'll happen that way."
With Reggie Bush sidelined with an ankle injury, Theo Riddick worked as the team's No. 2 running back. He was limited to two carries for 12 yards and caught three passes for 40 yards.
Jeremy Ross nearly scored his third career touchdown, but saw a Matt Stafford pass bounce right off his fingers. He caught three of five targets for 35 yards. Eric Ebron also had some crucial drops and finished with only two catches for 23 yards. Corey Fuller saw two of Stafford's passes go through his hands in the end zone. He was limited to only one grab for 13 yards.
But Ebron might have shown glimpses of increased production in Week 11 against Arizona with a season-high four receptions in a starting role. Jim Caldwell believes that could be the beginning of something good.
"With him, coming along, he played a lot more comfortable at his position," Caldwell told MLive.com. "I do think, down the stretch, he's going to be able to stretch the field for us from his position. Not only that, but give us some big plays as well."
Fullback Jed Collins carried twice for 3 yards, and wideout Jeremy Ross had a 7-yard grab. They'll all visit New England in Week 12.

Here's a change to savor after the approach taken by the previous administration: the Environmental Protection Agency is actually taking major steps to protect the environment and might even smack-down the powerful coal industry and its well-heeled lobby.
An almost startling case in point: The EPA is withholding action on 79 pending mountaintop coal-mining projects in four Appalachian states while it takes a detailed review of the permit applications.
Or to put it even more strongly, the agency determined that all 79 of the proposed projects under review would violate the Clean Water Act.
In an initial review of the applications, the EPA found that all of the proposed projects likely would cause water quality impacts that trigger additional reviews under the Clean Water Act.

The prisoners are hog-tied and brought to the chapter house at Nebulon…
Sir Mandarin's attempt to slaughter them murderously along the road is thwarted by cooler heads and the intercession of the ambitious Sir Remiu, his Arugula. Dispensing the King of Kaldor's Justice is reserved for the duly authorized Baron _______ of nearby Kobing and, with due diligence (10 days later)*, the tormented servants of Agrik meet their demise in what was described as a bizarrely satisfying, almost erotic burning at the stake; they truly took some joy in the manner of their deaths….Agrikans. The corrupt half brother of the Earl of Neph, Ackitt Lack, is summarily and unceremoniously hung like a common thief.
During the party's short stay in Kobing, they learn that the missing noble's wife has been through asking for the Baron's assistance. Also, the party learned that the Baron of Kobing is fairly sure the noble's unaccompanied trek into the wilderness to exact some kind of vengeance or justice for a murdered (employee) was irregular.
Additionally, it was discovered that 4 miners and several other travelers, including a small wedding party, had also mysteriously disappeared while traveling and working in the vicinity of the Lamp Inn at the southern frontier, by the Osel Bridge. The party determined that they would continue south with the Arugula's regular patrol of 20 mounted and then split off to the Setha Heath.
Along the way, it was decided (simultaneously in Harnic and Jarin) that the Rangers should forge ahead to the Lamp Inn and watch to see if anyone fled as the large patrol approached an hour later. Expectably, there was an obvious (at least to Hafyn) spy/scout within the establishment who seemed to be enjoying the support of the staff (a wench actually was overheard addressing him by his name, ____) as he performed his duty, duty which included racing off to warn his likely accomplices… Hafyn followed solo and left Aranrae to notify the patrol of his intention to shadow the suspicious fellow and report back on details of his destination. We ended at this point.
…forgive the narrator, backtracking follows…
*Ten Days at Nebulon:
Surprisingly to some at the Chapter House, the Arugula was most hospitable to the Northerners, at least more hospitable than was to be expected from a tightly run military establishment. Hafyn and Aranrae, after signing in and receiving standing by Sir Mandarin, were able to meet with and even speak with Sir Remiu, who then graciously allowed the two to go stay outside the compound. He seemed most intrigued by their relationship with Bridgette Curo's father, the Earl of Neph. He was not very well schooled in much of what happened north of his own demesne.
Also, we learned that it was common practice by the Knights of the Lady of Paladins to dispense quick roadside justice and that Mandarin's efforts to slaughter the Agrikans was normal. The Arugula was pleased that his hand was stayed …in this case.
Furthermore, the Arugula was convinced that sending Bridgette back out into the wild after so recently joining the Chapter, was politically expedient. He seemed to want to support the decisions, friends and daughter of the Earl of Neph. To justify the departure of the recently arrived and support their expedition to the south, he asked that they engage in scouting out the location and comparative strength/numbers of the Paeglins. The tribesmen seemed to be receiving military assistance from some quarter that was supplying them better weapons than previously used to do their business.
It was discovered by those who knew Sorwin less well than Sir Mandarin, that he had a reputation for requiring 'stern guidance', regularly, and that his riding skill was well known by the nice folk at Nebulon. He spent a week receiving instruction. Bridgette and Mandarin also spend time training and preparing to go out on patrol. Aranrae also received some training(?, needs data). Hafyn spends most of his time gathering herbs, scouting, hugging trees, setting up a Rola-Taur and trying his hand at some simple alchemy. There is a Full Moon during this period that finds Hafyn and Aranrae beneath it, enjoying some quality time and the unusually clear skies…(not as homo-erotic as it sounds…)
(The measure of Time in Hârn may need to be addressed and used to clean up this mess!)
Preparing for the eventual patrol, trip south and journey to Kobing finds the party with two horses each and access to whatever supplies and gear the good folks at Chapter House can provide. Addressing those supplies needs doing before reconvening… Also, the Arugula has not accepted Sir Mandarin's offer to leave healing supplies behind but did take the remaining share of Mandarin's tourney prize.(?, vaguely recalled)
Also of note, the Baron of Kobing, upon meeting the enhanced patrol party from Nebulon, took note of the Northerners and addressed them as "Brothers…" An extremely good heraldry roll helped him determine, immediately, that Hafyn and Aranrae were in fact 'of a Brotherhood'. Strangely delivered and pointy questions about mining followed in front of the visiting patrol and some quality private time with the Baron likely confirmed his assessment.
Amusingly and having noted that slyly delivered title, Sir Mandarin has also begun to refer to the Northerners as 'Brothers' although he has absolutely no idea to what the Baron referred…Hafyn, himself also rather sly, has decided that "… it is indeed an honour and compliment that the good folk of Kaldor have so readily received [the Northerners] as brothers!"
It is but a (short) matter of time before Mandarin screws up his nerves to just ask rather than bait and await the Northeners' unlikely slip up! Meanwhile, Bridgette Curo is relatively accepting of the Strangers from the North as her father arranged for her a very broad exposure to cultural variants. Sorwin is not sophisticated enough to care and simply accepts them without much wonder. Sorwin and the Northerners often ride together because of their relative lack of horsemanship and inability to match the knights who seem born to the saddle. It has made for the beginnings of a real friendship. For their part, the Northerners have never done anything but provide their best help in all matters concerning the Earl's daughter Bridgette, the Kingdom of Kaldor and its proper function and members of the various Orders of the Lady of Paladins…it must be driving Sir Mandarin bug-nuts that the Northerners are accorded so much untraditionally earned support and acceptance amongst his superiors!
It should be interesting to watch the party finally begin to shed the compounded burden of carrying so many secrets!

How to Know if You Are Really a 'Value' Investor
The time to buy is when there's blood in the streets. -- Baron Rothschild
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Many in the investment world claim to be "value" investors, seeking to profit from the mispricing of securities relative to their "intrinsic" value. While it sounds easy in theory, in practice it is quite difficult because securities that are trading significantly below their intrinsic value are often the least popular.
That is the dilemma. Being a true "value" investor requires a contrarian mindset where you tend to be buying when others are selling and selling when others are buying. But how many of us truly have the stomach or temperament for investing in the most hated of asset classes? The truth is that few among us do, and many so-called value investors are much closer to momentum investing than they would have you believe.
As human beings, we much prefer the safety and comfort of being right and wrong with the crowd than taking the risk of being wrong by going against the crowd, a behavioral bias known as herding. If you don't believe me, compare your current portfolio with the best- and worst-performing equity investments over the past three years (measured using data from Yahoo! Finance). The list is below.
What you're likely to see is a bias toward U.S. equities in general, favoring small caps over large caps. Digging deeper, you are also likely to be favoring health care and consumer discretionary names as well as internet and defense stocks.
What are you unlikely to see exposure to here? Investments that have gone in the other direction over the past three years -- namely, anything related to commodities and/or emerging markets.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

J187, I think what you're looking for is something like the diagram I posted back on page 4: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/simp...ml#post4393542. Granted that diagram was for a dual circuit design based on a 556 timer, but it shows every single wire and connection on the breadboard and I'd wager a non-engineer could split that diagram conceptually down the middle and wire up a 555. To be clear, on a 555 pins 1-8 are not the same as pins 1-8 on a 556, but that aside the rest of the circuit would be wired identically after accounting for the correct pin numbers. Here's the pin mapping that would have to be done for a 555 based diagram: My 556 Pin Correct 555 Pin 1 7 2 6 3 5 (no connections anyways) 4 4 5 3 6 2 7 1 8 8 For what its worth, my opinion would be to stay away from perf boards and wire wrapping or soldering unless those activities are something you enjoy / are good at. It's just so easy to wire up a breadboard since all you have to do is cut and strip wires and press them into the holes. The signal distribution and power busses are done inside the board for you. If you wanted I could draw you up a breadboard diagram just like the one on page 4 but for a 555 circuit. It should only take a few minutes to modify the one already posted.
I'm going to try this. My current stir plate has the issue that there is only a narrow band in which I can control the fan speed. And I'm using a LM317. Thanks for posting the part list and such. I have experience with building electronic stuff (used to be my hobby before I took a job in the computer industry) but finding suitable parts is always a challenge. Kai
Home of the world's first Yoctobrewery- brewing beer one sip at a time.
The diagram shows the mosfet leads as DGS but the datasheet typically seems to be GDS. should the wiring be made to adhere to the pins as shown on the datasheet? In other words does G always goes to position 3 on the 555 regardless of it's position on the mosfet? Thanks
Works for me I did have 2 challenges, though. I got a Arduino board like this one: http://www.mouser.com/Search/Product...key782-T030081 but didn't know that there are connections between the holes. So I ended up spending a while on troubleshooting why the design sucks so much power Then I connected R1 to GND by mistake and had to think hard how this circuit works and found that C1 never charged. But I can't get the motor speed down to really slow. I think this is because R1 is fixed and the min pulse with is thus fixed by the time it takes to charge C1 through R1. I saw many designs that charge C1 through one side of the potentiometer and discharge it through the other side. this way you can get the pulse with really short. Have you tried this? I'm giving this a try. EDIT: I did try this and it works well. I'll keep it that way. But it takes 1/4 turn to get the motor moving since the very short pulses are not strong enough. Kai
Your lingo makes me wonder why im studying computer engineering. I hate v dividers... Dont get me wrong, they work great and have many applications, i just hate studying and being tested on them.
I built this on a bread board using the values on the front page. My fan goes from a medium speed to a fast speed. I need to get it to go slower. Either i have hooked something up wrong or i need some different values on some of my components. I have double checked the drawing and i fell like everything is connected correctly. I used the values on the drawing. The only doubt i have is the capaciter. The capaciter has a long wire and short wire. I hooked the short wire to ground and the long wire to terminal 6. Is this correct? The data sheet said the long wire is positive. I am guessing i need to go up on either r2 or c1. Any suggestions?
