After a 9 hour overnight bus journey, we got to Bogotá.
We headed straight out to to visit the Cathedral of Salt, built within the tunnels of a salt mine, 200 meters underground in a Halite mountain near the town of Zipaquirá. We took a steam train there. Well it was meant to be a steam train but, unfortunately was a diesel.
Tunnel to the entrance.
Inside the church.
Back in Bogotá, this is the street where we stayed in the old town, La Candelaria.
There is great street art everywhere.
I guess it’s legal.

Verticillium Wilt Control and Management There is no fungicide that will cure a plant once it's infected by verticillium wilt but there is a number of steps you can take to prevent it. Some trees have natural resistance or immunity to verticillium wilt Verticillium wilt and its ugly partner Fusarium wilt are fungal diseases that destroy home gardens as well as agricultural crops. They lurk in the soil, infecting selected vegetables and ornamental.. Verticillium may lodge at periodic cellular constrictions, and the plant may respond to the presence of Verticillium by forming anti-fungal compounds and plugs. This interaction leads to wilt symptoms. The possibility of using fungicides to control Verticillium wilt was considered seriously when the early era systemic products were introduced As we briefly mentioned already, verticillium wilt is a type of fungus that affects your roots and as you may guess, causes your plants to wilt. The most common type of Verticillium wilt is Verticillium dahliae, but there are five similar species in the same genus which can cause wilts, including Verticillium albo-atrum and Verticilliumtricorpus Verticillium wilt. Verticillium wilt is a serious fungal disease that causes injury or death to many plants, including trees, shrubs, ground covers, vines, fruits and vegetables, and herbaceous ornamentals. It is a disease of the xylem, or water-conducting tissues, in the plant. Commonly infected woody plants include maple, smoke-tree, catalpa.
Verticillium wilt is a serious disease of peppermint in the Pacific Northwest. Once the fungus is established in a field, oil yield may be reduced, stands may decline, and the ability of mint plants to compete with weeds may be reduced. Infected plants eventually die There are no fungicides characterized for the control of this disease but soil fumigation with chloropicrin has been proven successful in dramatically reducing Verticillium wilt in diverse crops such as vegetables using plasticulture production methods, and in potato production in North America (non-tarped)
Verticillium wilt is a disease caused by one of two specific fungus in soil. Gardens across the US and Canada can harbor these fungi. They like conditions we'd probably describe as very pleasant for our plants but can withstand years of deprivation Fungal Disease Verticillium Wilt [Shrubs and Trees] Verticillium albo-atrum and V. dahliae. 16 pictures total. Verticillium wilt of maple. Frequency. 3 (1 = rare 5 = annual) Severity. 4 (1 = very little damage 5 = plants killed) Hosts. These fungi may attack more than three hundred woody and herbaceous plant species
Verticillium wilt affects a large number of herbaceous and woody species. The causal fungus, Verticillium dahliae, infects susceptible plants through the roots. Pistachio trees of any age are subject to attack. The disease has been most destructive where pistachio trees were grown in fields previously planted to other susceptible crops such as. Verticillium. Characteristics, Life Cycle, Morphology and Cultures. The genus Verticillium is composed of a small group of ascomycete fungi belonging to division Ascomycota. As such, they may also be described as sac fungi. Today, about ten species of this genus have been clearly identified, some of which are phytopathogenic (plant pathogens) How to control Verticillium wilt As Verticillium spreads more quickly in weaker plants, follow these sound cultural practices: Prune dead branches to discourage infection by other fungi. Disinfect tools between cuts in a 10% solution of household bleach. Water generously, especially during dry periods
Verticillium Wilt - What to Grow. Verticillium Wilt is a soil-borne fungus that affects a wide variety of plants, from vegetables and perennials to trees and shrubs. The fungus damages and kills plants by 'plugging up' its vascular tissue, preventing water and nutrients from flowing throughout the plant Verticillium wilt of strawberry can be a major factor limiting production. When a plant is severely infected by the Verticillium wilt fungus, the probability of it surviving to produce a crop is greatly reduced. The Verticillium fungus can infect about 300 different host plants, including many fruits, vegetables, trees, shrubs and flowers, as well as numerous weeds and some field crops Verticillium Wilt Disease of Cherry. Program Contact: Tianna DuPont, Tree Fruit Extension Specialist. (509) 663-8181 • email@example.com. Symptoms: It has been two to seven years after you planted your new cherry orchard. In June or July, your once healthy, vigorous young cherry trees suddenly develop yellow leaves and withered shoot tips. Verticillium wilt among olive trees is one of the most devastating diseases for olive trees and one of the main plant health problems in the olive sector Verticillium wilt is a common disease problem occurring on trees and shrubs caused by the common soil fungus Verticillium spp. Some commonly grown shrubs that are susceptible to verticillium wilt include azalea, daphne, hibiscus, osmanthus, lilac, photinia, rose, spirea, viburnum, and weigela. Tree branch with verticillium wilt
Verticillium wilt is caused by two closely related soilborne fungi, Verticillium dahliae and V. albo-atrum. Isolates of these fungi vary in host range, pathogenicity, and virulence. Verticillium species are found worldwide in cultivated soils. The most common species associated with Verticillium wilt of woody ornamentals in Connecticut is V. Verticillium wilt is a fungal disease that grows in the vascular tissue that conducts sap in the tree. The fungus attacks a wide range of trees and shrubs. Verticillium is frequently misdiagnosed. Symptoms of Verticillium wilt can be very similar to those of stem girdling roots, a much more common problem for trees in urban landscapes Verticillium wilt, caused by Verticillium dahliae, is a soilborne fungus that colonizes the vascular tissues of plants. Verticillium dahliae has a broad host range, causing vascular discoloration and wilt of many economically important crops
Verticillium Wilt The author is Arthur H. McCain, Extension Plant Pathologist, Berkeley. Fig. 1. Development of symptoms: (a) leaves on infected branch wilt, (b) turn brown, and (c) branch dies. Verticillium wilt, one of the most widespread and destructive soil-borne diseases of plants, attacks a large number of woody and herbaceous specie Verticillium wilt is a soilborne fungus that attacks over 300 plant species ( here's a list ). Redbuds are one of its favorites. I don't know how it arrived, perhaps in the soil of another perennial I planted in the bed. Or maybe it was always there, waiting. But once you've got it, it's there for the long haul and there's very little. . It's caused by the soil-dwelling Verticillium dahliae and Verticillium albo-atrum. This fungus grows into plant roots and stems, depriving plants of necessary nutrients for proper growth and clogging plants' water transport systems. It's is most active in cooler weather but may also affect plants in.
Verticillium wilt is caused by a fungi which attacks the vascular systems of plants. The wilt fungi remains in the soil if there are suitable hosts. Plant debris and some commonly encountered organic matter can sustain the life of the fungal spores until another suitable host is planted in the same soil Pistachio wilt is characterized by affected leaves hanging from dead branches over-winter, like Fire blight. Progress is slowed by adequate moisture or by high nitrogen fertilizers, such as ammonium sulfate. This fungus is active at all times, but it is most active in warm, dry soils The outer and older strawberry leaves wilt and dry, turning a reddish yellow to dark brown at the margins and between the veins. The inner leaves remain green and turgid until the plant dies. This symptom helps distinguish verticillium wilt from the root and crown diseases caused by Phytophthora species, in which both the young and mature. When the fungus detects plants which could be a useful source of nutrients, the spores attach to the plants and begin growing, causing a condition known as Verticillium wilt. The wilt classically starts at the margins of the plants and works its way in, slowly killing the plant
An incurable and deadly fungal disease called Verticillium wilt, which infects plants by latching onto their roots and stems, gradually blocking the upward flow of nutrients and water. Farms are more vulnerable to the fungal wrath because it can attack a wide range of crops planted on fields. And once a field is infected, the disease can lay. Verticillium wilt is one of the most serious diseases of raspberry. This disease is caused by a soilborne fungus and reduces raspberry yields by wilting, stunting, and eventually killing the fruiting cane or the entire plant. The disease is usually more severe in black than in red raspberries. Blackberries are also susceptible to the disease, but seldom suffer severe losses Fusarium wilt in front group of heirloom tomatoes; resistant variety in back. There are many varieties with resistance to Fusarium wilt.Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici has three races; race 1, race 2, and race 3. Some tomato varieties may be resistant to one race, yet completely susceptible to another
Verticillium wilt is caused by a fungus that is found in the soil in the tree's root zone. This is a very damaging fungus for which there is no chemical control. The fungus is spread by lawn equipment, ground water, soil transfer, and contaminated seeds; and may affect trees, shrubs and ornamentals. The fungus enters the tree through the roots and is carried up the tree through the water. Verticillium wilt is caused by the soil-borne fungus, Verticillium dahliae. Infection typically occurs through roots; however, windblown spores may also enter through wounded tissue aboveground. After entering host tissue, the pathogen invades water-conducting tissues and is transported throughout the tree via the sap stream. As the fungus. . Both fungi invade the plant through the fibrous root system and disrupt water and mineral uptake within the plant Verticillium wilt has acute and chronic phases. Catalpa, elm, and maple trees infected by an acute strain of Verticillium exhibit general yellowing, followed by rapid wilting and dying of individual limbs (fig. 1). If early leaf wilting on individual branches goes unnoticed, sudden wilting of the entire crown may be the first obvious symptom Verticillium Wilt was first diagnosed in the UK in 2007 and is currently the focus of research to better understand the disease and potential control measures both cultural and chemical. Recent surveys have confirmed cases as far north as Yorkshire but the most seriously affected areas are in the east and the south east of England
. It is a soil-borne pathogen with a broad host range which causes premature death and wilt in sunflower. It has been described that V. dahliae can infect more than 400 plant species including herbaceous annuals and perennials, and woody perennials (Klosterman et al, 2009) Susceptible Species. Verticillium Wilt affects more than 300 plant species including 80 species of trees. Commonly affected tree species include maple and redbud. Conifers are unaffected by the fungus. Tree Effects. The leaves of an infected tree will show yellowing around the edges in mid-summer. Often only one side of the tree exhibits wilting
Together, these results suggest that GhPMEI3 enhances resistance to Verticillium wilt. Moreover, GhPMEI3-GhPMEs interactions would be needed before drawing the correlation between structure-function and are crucial for plant development against the ever-evolving fungal pathogens Verticillium wilt is favored by moist soils and a temperature range of 21-27° C (70-81° F). Microsclerotia are stimulated to germinate by root exudates of both host and non-host plants ( Figure 12 ). The fungus penetrates a root of a susceptible plant in the region of elongation and the cortex is colonized
Verticillium Wilt . Here is another fungal disease that is a common tomato plant disease. Verticilliurn albo-atrum is the fungus that causes this infection. It attacks the roots and goes up the xylem tube along with water. Once it enters the xylem tube, it stops the flow of water and nutrients to the leaves.. The fungicides commonly used to control Verticillium wilt of pepper are: thiophanatemethyl, difenoconazole, fluopyram, azoxystrobine, and prochloraz (Talboys, 1984;Tian et al., 1998; Rekanović et.
Verticillium Wilt is fungus Verticillium albo-atrum. Symptoms are similar to fusarium wilt, bacterial canker or early blight. Look for yellow spots to appear on lower leaves followed by brown veins. Leaves then turn brown and fall off. The infection pattern is often in a V-shape and progress up the stem Verticillium wilt, a fungus, works its way up through the plant's roots, clogging water-conducting tissue in the stem. It spreads a toxin that wilts and spots leaves and prevents water from reaching branches and leaves, starving the plant. Infected plants usually survive the season but are stunted. If they produce any fruit, it's small and.
Verticillium wilt is a serious disease of a large number of diverse plants. The causal agents, Verticillium albo-atrum (Reinke & Berthold) and V. dahliae (Kelb), are ubiquitous, soilborne pathogens. The disease incidence and severity vary from year to year and from one location to another. The disease significance also varies with host. Verticillium wilt is a wilt disease that affects over 350 plant species around the globe. There isn't a single fungus responsible for the problem. Rather, Verticillium wilt can be caused by either one of the 6 species of Verticillium fungi The soil-borne fungus Verticillium dahliae is a devastating pathogen affecting many plant species including cotton, in which it significantly reduces crop yield and fiber quality. Melatonin involvement in plant immunity to pathogens has been reported, but the mechanisms of melatonin-induced plant resistance are unclear My Acer Palmatum Shaina is about to die because of wilt/fungus presumably verticillium.I already cut it back last year and changed the soil when some branche..
Verticillium wilt is caused by a soilborne fungus. The fungus resides in the soil by means of resting structures and can remain there for many years. When roots of susceptible plants grow near the fungus, the fungus infects the roots and grows upward within the water-conducting tissue into the trunk and branches. When a plant part dies, the.

Verticillium wilt fungus is widespread. The common practice -of growing to- matoes in the home garden likewise serves to introduce and increase this fungus there. Recently the Brazilian nightshade weed, Solanum sarachoides, has been added to the list of plants. susceptible to the Verticillium fungus. Though CDm- monly infected and quite. The best fungicides to deal with Powdery mildew are sulfur-based sprays. However, use the substance with caution because it could injure other plants. You may have to apply the fungicide more than once depending on the severity of the infection. Verticillium Wilt Verticilliumwilt caused by Verticilliumalbo-atrum was detected on Ailanthus altissima in Pennsyvlaniain 2002. It is caused by a soil-fungus that infects the vascular tissues of Ailanthus trees. Infected trees die rapidly, typically within a growing season. Donald Davisand Mark Schallhave don No fungicide works against Downy Mildew. However, you can still treat the plants in the surrounding area as a precautionary measure. 4.Verticillium Wilt. Verticillium Wilt is also a fungal condition, although soil-based, that causes Impatiens to wilt and their leaves to turn yellow
Verticillium wilt is a soil-borne, fungal pathogen. This fungus can live many years in the soil, even without a host. Verticillium wilt infects the loquat tree through its root system, causing chronic symptoms. These symptoms include foliage yellowing and scorching, growth stunt, heavy seeding, and weakening and dieback of branches and stems.. Eventually the plants permanently wilt. The vascular tissue of the main stem will be discolored. Diseased plants may also show early senescence. Occasionally the vascular tissue inside the tubers can be discolored as well. Disease Cycle. Verticillium infects through plant roots, and the fungus grows through the vascular tissue up into the main. Verticillium wilt is a widespread and serious disease that affects the vascular system of trees. It is caused by two species of fungi that live in the soil: Verticillium albo-atrum and Vertcillium dahlia.The disease affects many types of trees, shrubs, and plants with maple trees being particularly susceptible Fusarium and Verticillium are favored by droughty conditions while Phytophthora is a water mold' and it is favored by frequent irrigation and wet, slow draining soils. When the soil remains saturated, it stimulates the Phytophthora fungus to produce many infective swimming spores (zoospores), causing more severe disease. Fusarium wilt
Verticillium wilt is a serious disease of many economically important agricultural and horticultural crops in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). The disease affects herbaceous annuals and perennials as well as woody trees and shrubs. Plants affected by Verticillium wilt can exhibit chlorosis, wilting, defoliation, and premature senescence Verticillium wilt of strawberry is caused by the widely distributed soilborne fungus Verticillium alboatrum. When a strawberry plant is severely infected, the probability of it surviving to produce a crop is greatly reduced. The fungus has been subdivided into a number of strains that show definite host-plant preferences Verticillium wilt is caused by a soilborne fungus. The fungus resides in the soil by means of resting structures and can remain there for many years. When roots of susceptible plants grow near the fungus, the fungus infects the roots and grows upward within the water-conducting tissue into the trunk and branches
Verticillium wilt is a fungal disease carried in the soil. Many many species of plants are susceptible to it. For a complete list, check a pathology book or ask in the comments. There are about a hundred susceptible species. When the fungus in the soil comes into contact with feeder roots, the fungus enters Verticillium dahliae, a soil borne pathogen, belongs to the fungal class Deuteromycetes (Fungi Imperfecti), a group of fungi, which do not have a known sexual stage.V.dahliae has a wide host range.Over 300 woody and herbaceous plantspecies are known to be susceptible to this fungal pathogen. The disease, Verticillium wilt, is problematic in temperate areas of the world,especially in irrigated. See: Verticillium Wilt in the Pacific Northwest. Cause Samples with Verticillium wilt have dominated the maple problem diagnoses sent to the OSU Plant Clinic. Verticillium dahliae, a soilborne fungus that is almost impossible to eradicate once established in the soil.There are over 300 plant species susceptible to this fungus. It forms microsclerotia that germinate in response to exudates from. Treating strawberry verticillium wilt is not easy. The preferred way of strawberry verticillium wilt control in the past has been soil fumigation. This involves using soil fungicides (usually a mix of methyl bromide and cholorpicrin) that smoke out the fungi. However, this is very expensive for home gardeners, and it is also difficult to.

A heel spur is a pointed bony outgrowth of the bone of the heel (the calcaneus bone). They are attributed to chronic local inflammation at the insertion of soft tissue tendons or fascia in the area. Heel spurs can be located at the back of the heel or under the heel, beneath the sole of the foot. Heel spurs at the back of the heel are frequently associated with inflammation of the Achilles tendon (tendinitis) and cause tenderness and pain at the back of the heel made worse while pushing off the ball of the foot.
Bone spurs form in the feet in response to tight ligaments, to activities such as dancing and running that put stress on the feet, and to pressure from being overweight or from poorly fitting shoes. For example, the long ligament on the bottom of the foot (plantar fascia) can become stressed or tight and pull on the heel, causing the ligament to become inflamed (plantar fasciitis). As the bone tries to mend itself, a bone spur can form on the bottom of the heel (known as a ?heel spur?). Pressure at the back of the heel from frequently wearing shoes that are too tight can cause a bone spur on the back of the heel. This is sometimes called a ?pump bump,? because it is often seen in women who wear high heels.
Symptoms of heel spur syndrome often include pain early in the morning or after rest, as you take the first few steps. It may also include severe pain after standing or walking long hours, especially on hard cement floors. Usually more pain exist while wearing a very flat soled shoe. A higher heel may actually relieve the pain as an arch is created. The pain is usually sharp, but can also be a dull ache. The pain may only be at the bottom of the heel, or may also travel along the arch of the foot.
Your doctor will review your medical history and examine your foot. X-rays are used to identify the location and size of the heel spur.
Non Surgical Treatment
Diathermy treatment uses an electrical current to produce heat that sedates the inflamed tissues. The ultrasound device sends sound waves into the heel and sets up a massaging action that stimulates blood circulation. Treatment with a whirlpool bath involves placing the foot directly into the jetting stream. Orthopedic molds and appliances, such as orthotics, are designed by foot specialists for use inside the shoe to eliminate irritation to the heel when the patient stands or walks. When those appliances are used, the spur (in effect) floats on air. At the same time, the body's weight is transferred forward from the tender spot.
In some cases, heel spurs are removed by surgery after an X-ray. While the surgery is typically effective, it?s a timely and expensive procedure. Even after surgery, heel spurs can re-form if the patient continues the lifestyle that led to the problem. These reasons are why most people who develop painful heel spurs begin looking for natural remedies for joint and bone pain. Surgery isn?t required to cure a heel spur. In fact, more than 90 percent of people get better with nonsurgical treatments. If nonsurgical methods fail to treat symptoms of heel spurs after 12 months, surgery may be necessary to alleviate pain and restore mobility.

The signs of the times cry out to us … hear and respond to what cries for redemption!
Few things cry out as loudly today as does the brokenness of a world and a church that are torn and divided by hatred, anger, polarization, and conflicting ideologies. We are in a situation where the sincere are divided from the sincere, the good from the good, the truth from the truth. Good people can no longer work together, worship together, or even talk charitably with each other. There is an emotional schism developing within the church and within society as a whole.
We see this, for example, in the way the abortion issue has polarized. There is much sincerity and goodness on both sides, but we have reached a point where meaningful (not to mention, charitable) dialogue between the sides is impossible. Neither can any longer empathically connect with the other. Any potential understanding is subverted by anger, abrasive rhetoric, accusatory judgement, and by a moral indignation that works itself into such a fever that it can accept no criticism or corrective challenge whatever. The same thing holds true in numerous other areas of church life, politics, and civil discourse. Feminism, the concept of hierarchy, social justice, diverse approaches in theology and spirituality, and even our use of language, divide and polarize us, creating a new dualism with each side having its prescribed ideology, rhetoric, and moral indignations. The net effect of all of this is an emotional apartheid that painfully and tragically divides community, setting the sincere against the sincere.
Some might suggest that much of this divisiveness is good, that the gospel is meant to divide and that tension is a sign of life. That is simplistic. There is too much in the anger and polarization around us today that may not justify itself on such high prophetic ground. The gospel is meant to divide the good from the bad, not the good from the good. Good tension likewise does not divide healthy energy from healthy energy. Much of the anger and polarization that is present in the world and in the church today is not the product of the truth that Christ said would bring fire to the earth, but the product of a fundamentalism of both the right and the left, a product of hearts and minds that are too ideologically-driven to be truly charitable and understanding.
Given this fact, it is true to say that one of the important vocations we are called to today is that of being a reconciler, a builder of unity. If Jesus were walking our earth today – stalking our pulpits, teaching in our schools and universities, writing in our newspapers and magazines, leading parish groups, or directing social justice programs – he would, I submit, call us to begin to work more deliberately at living, working, and ministering beyond the kind of anger and concern for ideological and political correctness that spawn so many of our present divisions. He would call us beyond the highly selective tears, indignations, anger, moral fever, and simple lack of charity of both the right and the left. He would call us beyond political correctness.
Put more positively, he would call us to an ever-widening loyalty of mind and heart so that we could enter vulnerability of his crucified state wherein, by not protecting himself against the pain of anyone, he was able to absorb the pain of everyone.
There is a story told about a past Mayor of New York City. One afternoon, together with several of his councillors, he was in a helicopter surveying various areas of the city that were severely devastated by poverty, racism, crime, over-crowding, and lack of financial resources. Discouraged to the point of despair by the sheer magnitude of the issues he was facing, he commented to a colleague: “Wouldn’t it be great if there was a plunger and we could just pull it and flush this whole thing into the ocean!” He was joking, of course.
Sadly, among circles both right and left today, his comment typifies the prevalent feeling. More common than empathy for those who think and feel differently from those in our own circles is the attitude that those others are the great unwashed – a cesspool of ignorance, consumerism, moral decadence, and insensitivity – which we would love to flush away! Our empathy and tears are not for them, but for our own kind only.
How different the image of Christ, weeping indiscrimate, non-selective tears, beyond the tears of the right and of the left! To cry these tears is read the signs of the times.

GALLERY: Monsters reeled in as anglers try to Catch-A-Catty
TO BAG the Champion Angler trophy at the Catch-A-Catty Family Fishing competition at Mingo Crossing, Dean Pym had to catch three or more species.
Pym said he and his family enjoyed fishing and had been part of the competition for six or seven years.
He said the fishing was awesome at the event.
"It has really picked up since the flooding ...” he said.
"This trophy will go up on the bar wall.”
Five-year-old Zandar Rolls with his younger brother Hunter may have only been catching weed fish, but they had bigger prizes in their sights as they were hoping to win the boat package in the special draws.
Disappointment turned to joy for Mundubbera's David Gordon whose number was the second to be drawn.
"My son Coen and I are going to love this,” Gordon said.
"We do a lot of fishing but we used to do more until rules and regulations changed.”
Paradise Stocking Association president Angus Douglas said numbers at the event were similar to last year, with 208 seniors and 90 juniors.
He said there were some quality fish caught during the weekend.
"The majority of fish have gone back into river,” Douglas said.
One of the anglers, Trestyn Maddern of Gayndah, caught himself a tagged yellowbelly.
"We'll be able to check out its details on the website and update the information,” Douglas said.
"This helps to check growth rates and migration of the fish.”
Declan, Glenda and Gavin Mitchell, from Monto, said they didn't catch a lot of fish but had a good weekend.
Glenda said she caught an eel but lost a big yellowbelly beside the boat.
"We had a ball trying,” she said.
Shelly and Phil Driver of Practical Citrus Solutions go to the event every year.
"We love it, this is our holiday,” Shelly said.
"Catch-A-Catty is something we look forward to every year.”
The past winner of the heaviest catfish, caught her first yellowbelly at the event and was stoked.
Last year there was a big haul of the invasive fish tilapia caught at the the event, but only seven were bagged at the weekend, all by juniors and five of them by Klarissa Summers.
Winning a kayak was a complete surprise for Gayndah's Emily George.
"I had been eyeing off which one I liked,” she said.


How to Use a Ceiling Fan to Reduce Heating Costs
Ceiling fans, when properly used, can reduce both heating and air-conditioning costs. Even if the fan only allows you to make small adjustments to your thermostat, the energy savings can still be significant: The power consumption of an average ceiling fan at high speed is about 75 watts. In comparison, an air conditioner might consume 2,000 watts and a small electric heater requires 750 watts.
The amount of money you can save with a ceiling fan depends on numerous factors, including the size of your home, your climate, your primary heating and cooling systems and the cost of electricity in your area. Nevertheless, various organizations have published estimates that you can use as guidelines. For example, the University of Florida Cooperative Extension reports that a ceiling fan can reduce one room's cooling costs by as much as 8 percent.
Ceiling Fans in Summer
Most people are aware that a ceiling fan can make a room more comfortable in warm weather, but a few details are often overlooked. A ceiling fan does not actually reduce the temperature of a room. Rather, the fan creates gentle air movement that allows people in the room to feel cooler and more comfortable. This means that a ceiling fan provides little or no benefit when the room is unoccupied. Also, you should locate the fan so that you regularly feel its breeze. The fan will be less effective if it is installed in an unused part of a room or is attached to a very high ceiling.
Ceiling Fans in Winter
Experts disagree about the benefits of operating ceiling fans during the colder months. Some fans are designed for both counterclockwise rotation ("forward mode") and clockwise rotation ("reverse mode"). In reverse mode, air is forced up toward the ceiling. In theory, this warms the room by circulating warm air near the ceiling down toward the floor, and if the fan is on low speed, it will not create an uncomfortable breeze. This technique should be helpful in certain situations, such as when a room with a very high ceiling is heated by a wood stove. In other circumstances, the energy savings may be insignificant. The Kansas State University Extension discourages any use of ceiling fans during winter, but the University of Arkansas reports that a ceiling fan may reduce heating costs by 20 percent to 30 percent.
Selecting a Ceiling Fan
You need to choose a ceiling fan according to the size and purpose of a room. The cooling effect of a typical 36-inch fan extends about 6 feet from the center of the fan, and the range of a 48-inch fan is closer to 8 feet. A high-end 56-inch model can reach out to 10 feet. If you want your fan to cool an entire room, you need to match the fan size to the room size. A smaller fan may be perfectly adequate in a large room, however, if your normal activity takes place directly under the fan -- for example, you could locate a fan over the table in a dining room or over the bed in a bedroom.

You will need
- - technical passport of the vehicle;
- - The tax Code of the Russian Federation;
- - agreement on the ownership of self-propelled vehicle.
First, determine whether you or your company is a payer of the transport tax. If you are the rightful owner of the self-propelled means, to pay to the state budget a certain amount of money you need.
When you use a vehicle for transporting animals, milk, passenger, freight, if your car is equipped for a disabled person or your self-propelled vehicle is a tractor, combine harvester, then you tax exempt. This is regulated by paragraph 2 of article 358 of the Tax code of the Russian Federation. There is another case when there is no object of taxation. Not to calculate and not to pay this tax, you can since the deregistration of the vehicle in the traffic police.
Tax base of transport tax is determined as follows. Take the technical data sheet for self-propelled vehicle. It identifies features. Look in the documentation, the power of the engine of your car. If it is expressed in horsepower, then the value will be the base for the tax. When the power is indicated in kilowatts, then ensure that it is the indicator of horsepower. It is calculated by multiplying the value by 1,35962.
Determine the coefficient for the calculation of the tax base. This figure is established by legislative acts of local governments, depending on the region where you live and where the vehicle is registered. Multiply the value on the power of the engine of the vehicle. Thus, you will find a tax base for the calculation of the transport tax.
When defining tax rates use article 361 of the tax code. The rate depends on engine power. Multiply the value of the tax base. Pay the transport tax receipts.
Consider the following. If you passed a car, the tax to pay is still necessary. And are calculated within the tax period (calendar year for individuals, quarter – for legal entities) advance payments. The advance will be equal to the transport tax, divided by four.


Starting from Partick station, heading down towards the river, 12 walkers rounded the Riverside museum for a view up river of some of the bridges we were about to cross. The walk continued along the north of the river, passing the SECC and Hydro, before we crossed the Millenium Bridge and stopped for morning coffee at the Science Museum. Now on the south side of the river, we headed to Bell’s bridge, but stayed on the south side till we reached the squinty bridge which we crossed. (Squinty because the point on the south side diectly across from Finnieston Street was not suitable for supporting the bridge). Back on the north side, we continued along the riverside path, under the Kingston bidge, till we came back over the Tradeston Bridge. (This bridge is “S” shaped to lengthen so it is not too steep an incline) Continuing, along the river, we passed under the King George V and Glasgow bridges before crossing on the South Portland Suspension Bridge. The next step of the walk took us along Carlton Place, passed the Sheriff court and the Gorbals Street Bridge and onto the Albert bridge at the Nautical college (now Riverside Campus of City of Glasgow College). We walked back to the North side from where we made our way home.

Americans should blame Democrats if they are frustrated by the pace of the review of the sexual misconduct allegations facing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Thursday morning on the "Today Show."
"They held onto this. They should have brought this forward," Sanders said during an interview with Savannah Guthrie, the show's co-anchor. "Senator Feinstein had that letter for two months and never brought it to the table."
And Guthrie pushed back. "It's in the hands of the Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee and the president now," she responded as she questioned why neither President Trump or Senate Republicans wanted a full law enforcement probe if their intention was truly to exonerate Kavanaugh.
That is why the hearing is taking place Thursday, where both Christine Blasey Ford and Kavanaugh will be able to testify, Sanders replied. "I don't question the stories, but I certainly question the tactics," the White House press secretary continued. That these individuals were more than willing to give interviews to the Washington Post, the New Yorker but refused to sit down with the Senate Judiciary Committee. To me, that is problematic."
Guthrie also asked why Mark Judge, the other individual that Ford claims was in the room when the alleged attempted rape took place, had not been subpoenaed. Ford had requested such a move, but committee Republicans refused.
"Maybe that happens at some point," Sanders said. Guthrie interjected, "But the vote's scheduled for tomorrow, right? So it doesn't seem like they're going to call him."
The press secretary returned to her blame game, charging Democrats with hindering a thorough and lengthy investigation by withholding the allegation. "It's because they want to play political games, and I think, if people have any frustration with the pace and the speed, then there's no place to look other than at the Democrats, who have turned this whole thing into a complete circus," Sanders said.
But there is one person – the president – who could slow this whole process down and direct the FBI to investigate the claims, Guthrie said in response.
Echoing her White House colleague Kellyanne Conway, Sanders repeated the talking point that the FBI has conducted six background checks into Kavanaugh. However, since the allegations of sexual assault were made after the FBI's vetting process, the government agency has not looked in to the allegations made by Ford, by Kavanaugh's Yale classmate Deborah Ramirez, nor by his third accuser, Julie Swetnick.
"It used to be that you were innocent until proven guilty. And, now, an accusation is made, and it destroys somebody's life – whether it's real or not," Sanders said. "I'm often asked about being a parent. 'Sarah, you have a daughter.' I also have two sons, and I wouldn't want a false accusation to be what determined the rest of their life."
Sanders also defended Trump, who seemed to make an effort last week to not criticize and shame Kavanaugh's accusers, but in the past few days has completely abandoned such restraint. She said the president knows Kavanaugh, who has been unequivocal in his denial, but has remained interested to hear Ford's testimony.

Crown Melbourne, Southbank VIC
03 9292 5777 or www.crownmelbourne.com.au/number-8
Crown’s Number 8 Restaurant has relaunched as No.8 by John Lawson with a new menu, a new wine program, a reworked interior and a new produce-inspired attitude to food. Headed up by young chef John Lawson, the restaurant offers produce-driven menus and contemporary dishes based on a true understanding of seasonal flavours. Central to the cooking is sustainably produced ingredients sourced locally from Victorian farmers. Lawson said “Produce drives the inspiration for my food. The essence of No. 8 is the use of traditional cooking techniques in the kitchen, contemporary combinations of flavours combined with a bespoke selection of carefully farmed local produce”. John has negotiated his own herd of lamb from Barwon Lamb, his own duck from Milawa Free Range Poultry and a strain of rare Almond Mushrooms.
No.8 by John Lawson’s restaurant décor is refined and relaxed with muted colours and a nature-based theme linked to the skeletal leaf motif that has become the signature of Lawson’s work. The leaf connects the urban surrounds of the restaurant to his produce-centric menu. Each table will showcase bespoke handmade earthenware created by local potter Michael Skewes. Skewes collaborated with Lawson to create the tableware to complement the new look and feel of the restaurant. Each piece has been crafted with consideration given to size, shape and feel along with the way the food will look on the plate.
John Lawson moves to No.8 by John Lawson after three years at Crown’s Maze which then became Mr. Hive. Prior to that he worked for Gordon Ramsay at The London, for Daniel Boulud at New York’s Daniel and also at Le Manoir Aux Quat’Saison with Raymond Blanc. His inspiration for locally harvested food comes from his stint at La Rapiere in Bayeux in France, where he cooked dishes using produce from local farms sourced direct from the farm each day. Lawson is from Essex, loves West Ham and is looking to adopt an AFL footy team — email him for suggestions.

Loss of sight or blindness is a curse that makes life bleak and immobile for the visually impaired. Adding spice and mobility to the visually challenged, Colombian designer Nelson Ayala Herrera has come up with a universal system that supports mobility to improve their lifestyle. SUAM is a technological system that enables the visually impaired to locate and navigate within various urban establishments (i.e. railway stations, airports, malls, etc.) in an autonomous and secure manner. The system converts incoming signals from infrared emitters into audible messages, which are sent directly to a portable device carried by the user. The message sent to the device reports the name, commercial nature of the business and direction of the selected object. The universal system providing 3 different surface textures with tactile shape recognition, which helps the visually impaired in operating it correctly and comfortably.
The mobile device operates when the user presses a central button scanning the surrounding area for the closest infrared emitter signal. Emitters may be located in facilities such as bathrooms, offices and retail stores. Once the signal is received by the device, the corresponding audible message is activated in order to communicate the details of the location to the user. The ergonomic curved design of the hand held device complements the anatomical nature of the hand, which results in maximum comfort. The textured surface provides tactile feedback and minimizes slippage in the hand. In short, SUAM achieves audio signaling serving as a user-friendly, unobtrusive guide for the blind or visually impaired.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was unequivocal in his condemnation of the actions taken by some of his staffers last fall to exact political retribution by closing George Washington Bridge traffic lanes and causing major backups, but he continued to deny any prior knowledge of the plot in a press conference Thursday.
Christie began by apologizing to the people of Fort Lee and New Jersey, and said he would be traveling to Fort Lee later Thursday to repeat his sentiment directly to the most affected community.
"I am embarrassed and humiliated by the conduct of some of the people on my team," Christie said.
The potential Republican 2016 presidential candidate deftly tried to mitigate any negative press from the incident, which boiled over Wednesday when damning emails were revealed in New Jersey's The Record, showing the role that Christie's deputy chief of staff, Bridget Anne Kelly, played in plotting the traffic jam. Christie, who at times had mocked reporters for asking questions about the possibility that the closures were politically motivated, acknowledged he should have done a better job "to understand the true nature of the problem sooner than I did."
"I am heartbroken that someone who I permitted to be in that circle of trust for the last five years betrayed my trust," he said. "I would never have come out here and made a joke about these lane closures if I had ever had an inkling that anyone on my staff would have been so stupid but to be involved and then so deceitful to not disclose the information of their involvement when directly asked by their superior."
Christie said he fired Kelly Thursday morning for lying to him and has asked Bill Stepien, his former campaign manager, to withdraw from taking over as New Jersey Republican Party chairman. Christie also said he advised against the Republican Governors Association – of which Christie serves as chairman – using Stepien as a political consultant.
The New Jersey governor, who has cultivated a reputation as a brash, straight-talking pol, said he is continuing to hold one-on-one discussions with his staff about what happened and why, and that he may yet take more disciplinary action. Meanwhile, the New Jersey U.S. attorney has said he is opening an investigation into the matter.
"Ultimately I am responsible for what happens under my watch, the good and the bad, and when mistakes are made then I have to own up to them," Christie said during his lengthy press conference.
While using a fairly contrite tone throughout, Christie repeatedly denied any role in the controversy.
"I had no knowledge or involvement in this issue, in its planning or its execution, and I am stunned by the abject stupidity that was shown here," he said. "This was handled in a callous and indifferent way and it is not the way this administration has conducted itself over the last four years."
The scandal threatens to mar Christie's greatest political asset: the trust voters have that he's being straight with them. But his deft handling of the fallout – and its coming well ahead of any actual presidential politicking – likely means he will be able to survive any permanent reputational setback the scandal has temporarily caused.
Unless, of course, there's still more to the story.

No. 10 Loch Raven upset No. 8 Patapsco's bid to finish the regular season unscored upon with a 2-1 victory in a Baltimore County 2A-1A Division field hockey game yesterday.
The win sends Loch Raven into the Baltimore County championship Saturday against Dulaney, the 4A-3A Division winner. Last year, Patapsco tied with Perry Hall and shared the title.
This year, Patapsco, with nine seniors on the roster, expected to return to the title game, especially since the Patriots (9-1 overall, 7-1 league) boasted the stingiest defense in the Baltimore area.
But the top defense finally yielded yesterday to the area's most potent offense. Kristin Patscowsky scored the Raiders' 36th goal of the season and broke the Patriots' shutout streak midway through the first half.
The visiting Raiders (10-0-1, 8-0) got started with a well-placed crossing pass from Gia Trionfo on the right wing. The Patriots' defense nearly cleared the ball, but Kim Prough pushed the ball to Patscowsky, who sent a dribbler between keeper Salina Maines' foot and the post.
"We had no idea they hadn't been scored on until right after that goal," said the Raiders' Lauren Volk, second in the metro area in scoring with 19 goals and three assists. "They have a good defense, and we knew this team was our toughest competition. We've known that the whole season."
Despite the shock of the goal, Patapsco didn't let up. Its leading scorer, Andrea Bridges, nearly tied the game with 6:30 left but Raiders keeper Cho Toung stepped up to make a knee-high save to preserve the lead.
Both teams moved the ball quickly in an even second half, with all the scoring coming in the final 1:06.
Volk sparked the Raiders' second goal with back-to-back shots late in the second half. Maines stopped both, but Trionfo got the second rebound and scored for a 2-0 lead.
That goal proved crucial when the Patriots' Michele Thomas answered 21 seconds later.
Patapsco threatened to tie in the final seconds with Bridges breaking down the left wing. Raiders sweeper Karena McCray intercepted the ball and drove it far enough upfield for time to run out.
"If we had had another minute, we would have scored. I know we would have," said Thomas, whose squad still will advance to the Class 2A regional playoffs.

This is a fascinating article published in the Telegraph in 2014 about John Yudkin, a British physiologist and nutritionist and the founding Professor of the Department of Nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College, London. In the early 70’s, when the food industry was blaming fat for the increase in heart disease and promoting the low-fat diet, he argued that his research pointed to sugar as the more probably cause. He published his findings in the book Pure, White and Deadly in 1972.

Relationships really are a crucial a part of our lives. They offer us durability and bravery to deal with challenges, exist to the maximum, and add that means to our lives.
Every romance is different, nevertheless there are some significant aspects of a relationship which can help you keep this healthy. Examples include: Respect, Trust, Boundaries and Communication.
Respect entails valuing and caring for a subject. It where can i find a wife contrasts with contempt and disregard. It takes putting aside one’s own causes and thoughts to consider the object, to discover it since it really is—as a regulation, a dangerous thing, another man or woman feelings, a fantastic musician or singer, a creature or the environment. The idea of esteem has been central to ethical philosophy since Kant, and much discussion centers on the scope and theoretical status.
Darwall differentiates two types of respect. Acknowledgement respect will involve the disposition to give an object proper pounds in one’s practical deliberations—an attitude of appraisal, often combined with deference and ardency or veneration: to respect a friend or pupil should be to appreciate him. It is the kind of respect a teen shows her parents when ever she manipulates them for any car, or that people present wild animals simply by hunting and killing all of them for their skins or tusks. Appraisal esteem can also include a variety of features, including a person’s personality and the excellences that are her merits: to respect someone is to enjoy and enjoy her.
If you want in order to keep relationship healthier, you must build trust. This is especially crucial if you’re writing personal information with the partner. Integrity is the best way to build rely upon a romance, but it may be also important to respect your partner’s boundaries. If you’re unsure of how to do this, you should ask about their very own boundaries and be honest regarding yours.
The brain process of having faith in another individual involves a binding of representations of self, different, and situation. It’s perceived as being a neural structure known as a semantic pointer and is also often accompanied by an mental feeling, such as fear or perhaps sadness.
A wholesome and hearty relationship requires good interaction, trust, and dedication. It’s important too to value each other’s differences and interests. Disrespecting one another can lead to disagreement and, in some cases, a separation. This is why is considered crucial to learn about the fundamental aspects of relationships and the way to maintain all of them.
Boundaries are physical, emotional, and mental restrictions that you established for yourself that others need to respect. That they help you create space intended for the things that happen to be most important to you, so that you can be happy and healthy.
For example , if you don’t really want to embrace co-staffs or good friends in the workplace, is actually OK of talking up and state that this can be something you are feeling comfortable with. Perceptive boundaries are usually important, as they allow us to accept that not everyone will publish our own sights and beliefs.
When someone violates the boundary, it is usually difficult to know how to respond. They could try to adjust you in doing something you don’t need to do, like guilting you or arguing with you about the boundary. If this happens, remind them that your restrictions are to your safety and happiness and that you can stand firm. This will hopefully help them notice that your limitations are not personal attacks and that they can’t take care of you severely for establishing them.
Maintaining a healthy romance requires connection, compromise, trust, forgiveness, and respect. Nevertheless , this is often easier in theory. Ineffective connection can lead to uncertainty, which in turn can cause anger, frustration, and resentment.
Connection is the imparting or sharing of information, creative ideas, and emotions. It involves three ingredients: the fernsehsender, the communication, and the receiver. The fernsehsender encodes the meaning, which can be verbal or non-verbal, and the device decodes that. The sender’s outlook, knowledge, and frame of mind also impact how the receiver expresses the meaning.
Effective conversation involves hearing without interruptions, expressing accord and being aware of your body language. For example , eye contact and hand gestures can talk feelings and emotions. In addition, you should steer clear of personalizing your partner’s actions and instead give attention to how to deal with the issue. This will help you stay calm and focused during difficult interactions. This will make your partner look cared for and supported. It will also make them feel you happen to be attentive and they are taking their particular concerns seriously.

Quench Bottleless Water Coolers
bottled water delivery
Settlers who braved the long trek across the Rocky Mountains sought refuge on the shores of the South Platte River and Cherry Creek at Denver. Like the Native Americans who lived along the riverbanks, residents today can still trace Denver tap water to these bodies of water. Early sources of Denver drinking water came from surface wells and buckets, but soon gave way to more sophisticated water systems. Completed in 1867, City Ditch became the city’s first water system and turned Denver’s dusty plains into a thriving city. Denver also stands out as the first major US city to filtrate its water in 1884 (using a system of wood stave pipes) as well as the first to treat its water with chlorine, starting in 1911.
The Dust Bowl proved that water storage across the Midwest was just as vital as water management. Completed during one of the worst droughts in U.S. history, Eleven Mile Canyon Dam was the largest dam in the Denver system, and the Moffat Water Tunnel Diversion Project brought water across the continental divide. Learn more about the Moffat Water Tunnel construction by watching the video below:
The Cheesman Reservoir, completed in 1905, ended Denver’s reliance on in-town storage, wells, and streamflow. Standing tall at 221 feet high, Cheesman was the world’s tallest reservoir in its day. Later, The Williams Fork Reservoir carried Denver into the future after its expansion into a hydroelectric generating plant, still in operation today.
The current Denver water policy continues to demonstrate commitment to innovation. Today, Denver Water is a public agency funded by water rates and tap fees, instead of taxes, that operates independently from the city government. The agency manages 3,100 square miles and 3,000 miles of pipelines serving 1.5 million people.
Denver, a semi-arid metropolitan area, receives about 15 inches of precipitation annually. Along with the South Platte River, Denver drinking water originates from several sources, including Blue River, Williams Fork River, and the South Boulder Creek, Ralston Creek, Bear Creek, and Fraser River watersheds. While nearly 75% of the area’s water is located on the western side of the state, about 75% of the population lives on the east side, making distribution and conservation a top priority. The Cheesman and Williams Fork reservoirs, along with Eleven Mile Canyon Dam and the Moffat Water Tunnel, carry surface water across both sides of the continental divide.
According to the recent Denver Water Quality report, surface water sources carry risk of contamination from naturally occurring minerals as well as discharge from petroleum refineries, agricultural runoff, herbicide, and leaching from septic tanks. Denver Water relies on a sophisticated 5-step treatment system in plants throughout the area. However, Denver tap water can sometimes carry an “earthy” taste from naturally occurring algae or other organic material. In addition, homes built before 1951 may contain service lines that contaminate Denver tap water with lead.
Concerned about the chemicals and contaminants seeping into your Denver drinking water from organic material and runoff? We are too, and that’s why we’re here to help. Quench offers a full complement of water filtration and sanitization technologies to remove sediment, reduce chemical contaminants, including lead, and get rid of off-tastes and odors.

This weekend we welcome long-time Audio favorite and the man who always brings a heavy level of funk to the dancefloor: Felix Da Housecat. He’ll be on the decks on Friday, October 21st to jumpstart your weekend.
On Saturday, October 22nd, we’re thrilled to host Sharam in the club shortly after the release of his new project Collecti.
As always, we’re here to give you a taste of their sounds before you join us on the dance floor this weekend.
Friday, October 20th: Felix Da Housecat
Felix Da Housecat is a mainstay at our club and continues to impress time after time. The artist, known as one of the icons from the second wave of the Chicago house music scene, has been producing since the mid-1980s around the age of 15.
Felix, whose real name is Felix Stallings, Jr., released his first single “Phantasy Girl” in 1987 and has since released numerous tracks and albums that have become infamous in the dance music world. His 2001 album “Kittenz and thee Glitz” played a key role in the revival of the synth club sound.
Felix also owns one of the most well-known house music labels in the industry, Radikal Fear Rekords. The label, which blew up in the 1990s, has releases from Armando, Mike Dunn and Felix himself just to name a few.
Saturday, October 21st: Sharam
Sharam’s presence as a musician actually started as one half of the house music duo Deep Dish alongside fellow artist Dubfire. The pair found their way into the music scene with their 1998 release “Junk Science” and, over the years, established themselves as leaders in the house and techno space.
Sharam’s sound is an entrancing one to say the least. His darker take on techno with a mix of deep house has led him to a number of accolades including the Best of the Year recognition for his Essential Mix for BBC One in 2009.
His new album, Collecti, was just released and features fifteen original tracks along with a 90-minute DJ mix. It includes support from an eclectic roster of DJs including Eats Everything, Sasha, Lane 8 and Adam Beyer.
Sharam is the owner of Yoshitoshi, a label established in 1994. It has since released from artists including Veerus, Shiba San, Victor Ruiz, Sacha Robotti and more.
Sharam released the below mix a few days prior to the Collecti release in its anticipation. Give it a listen, and find the Collecti album available to listen or purchase here.

This annual event aims to promote surfing as an art form and as an integral part of the community, being a meeting point for surfers, artists and creatives from all over the world. Gliding Barnacles is about inspiring each other through storytelling, self-expression and pure fire. We’re here to break the mould and ride the waves without the restrictions of ratings and rewards. We believe that surfing is all about artistic expression, just like art or music. The guest surfers will have an hour to let their style shine, ride those waves with style and show how they connect with both the ocean and their longboards. It’s about pushing the limits, experiencing the wind and, above all, enjoying the ride.

Repair Sagging Garage Doors – As doors and homes age, they can shift and move and sometimes this results in a garage door that needs to be realigned or reinforced. We will send a technician to your home to adjust the doors and to inspect the entire opening to make sure the door isn’t damaged. Once we understand the problem, we will fix the needed parts and make any adjustments to the door.
Torsion springs are devices that lift most of the weight of a garage door so that the door can be opened manually or by an electric opener. The torsion principle is applied via an efficient and economical apparatus consisting of a torsion shaft under spring torsion, which turns lift drums, which wind cables attached to the door near the bottom. All of this apparatus is mounted over the top of the door. The energy stored is sufficient, in an uncontrolled release, to break things, hurt you, or perhaps even kill you. The same could be said of jacking up your car to change a tire, or mowing your lawn, or raising children, so it is not crazy to want to do this yourself.
If your garage door's spring breaks, stops working properly, or snaps, you'll lose the ability to open and close your garage door. This could happen due to a variety of issues, like normal wear and tear or from extreme temperature changes in a short amount of time. Spring replacements require a quick response from a garage door provider near you. Contact The Home Depot and a local, background-checked technician will respond within 24 hours.
You can choose from three basic types of steel door: (1) steel only; (2) steel with insulation on the inside; and (3) steel on both sides with 1-3/8 to 2 in. of insulation. Other features that add to the cost are thicker insulation and windows, especially insulated windows. The do-it-yourself tensioning systems also add a little to the door’s cost. Be sure to specify exactly what you want.
Luckily, your garage door is a pretty sound investment. According to Garage Wow Now, garage doors were ranked in the top three for home improvements whose costs are recouped through increased home value. Similarly, realtors regularly increased the list price of a home with a new garage door by 1 to 4 percent! That means, if you spend $2000 on a new garage door, you can increase the value of your home by almost $8000 if you have a $200,000 home. Furthermore, compared with the other two highest rated improvements — siding replacement and deck installation — a garage door replacement is far more affordable.
If you have a steel door, but want the look of a wood one, it is not necessary to change your entire garage door. Often, it may be possible to mimic the look of wood with skillful painting. Your local home improvement store may be able to provide good advice about the type of paint and brushes needed to mimic the look of wood for your particular door material.
This work is risky, but the risk is comparable to doing your own car repairs, or climbing on the roof of your house to clean your gutters. These are dangerous things that many people can do safely, but that safety depends on intelligent understanding and application of proper techniques. Professional door repair technicians, who are fully knowledgable, skilled, and experienced, report that they nevertheless are injured from time to time, despite their best efforts. Coldly evaluate your abilities and motivations, to judge whether you can manage the risks of this work for the benefit of the money and time you might save.

Correct spring size is determined by factors such as the weight and height of the door. You cannot substitute a different spring and just tighten or loosen the winding to make it balance the load. Why? To maintain cable tension under all operating conditions, the spring must retain about one turn of unspent wind-up at the top-of-travel position, which with the lift drum size and door height predetermines the number of turns of winding at the bottom-of-travel; and furthermore the torsion of the fully-wound spring at the bottom-of-travel must be slightly less than that needed to lift the weight of the door when translated by the lift drums.

My door opener disengaged from the garage door. I made a call in late morning and was given an appointment for late the same afternoon. I received a call in early afternoon asking if I would like an earlier service call. Upon arriving the repair man introduced himself and explained that he would need a few minutes to assess the problem and perform an inspection. When he finished he provided me with a through explanation of the problem, the corrective measures he would take and some suggestions to improve operation. We discussed some options, agreed on the cost and the work was complete within a reasonable time frame. The door operates quieter and with less strain than it ever has. Pleasant, friendly, on-time and reasonably priced. Problem solved. It doesn't get any better than that.

In my case, removing and replacing the relaxed springs required that I take down the assembly: torsion shaft, lift drums, and bearings. Doing that requires unbolting the center bearing plate from the wall, removing the drums from the shaft, and finally sliding the shaft back and forth out of the end bearings to remove the whole assembly off the wall. I am fortunate to have a lot of clearance in this garage to make the disassembly simpler. Tighter clearance to walls or ceiling would make disassembly a more difficult manipulation.
We lead busy and sometimes hectic lives. It's easy for someone low on sleep and high on stress to accidently bump into their garage door leaving a little damage. If you're lucky it's just an individual garage door panel that's been damaged. This will leave you with the option of garage door panel replacment. There's a chance it might cost you upwards of $150-200 to spot repair damaged garage door panel. If it happens to be an in-production model, they probably will be able to repair or replace the entire panel (if needed) for $250-400. Unfortunately if you've got an older model of garage door the panels may no longer be in production. This might seem like a disadvantage because you'll end up having to just replace the entire door. Many times it's actually easier and more cost effective to just replace the garage door.

I was careful not to assume that the previous installation correctly oriented the right- and left-hand springs on the correct sides of the center bearing plate. They could have been installed backwards by an incompetent installer, resulting in them having been wound looser (larger diameter coil) instead of tighter (smaller diameter coil) than when in their relaxed state, and if so I would have corrected them on the new installation. The proper orientation of the springs applies their reaction torque from tighter winding such that it turns the drums to lift the door. Verifying this is a rather simple exercise in mechanical visualization, but does require some care to be certain of correctness. If you were to install the springs backwards, and then start to wind them in the wrong direction, then the torsion bar will start winding the drums backwards, and not holding against the vise pliers, which should be obvious to inspection. Winding a spring backwards also tends to screw the spring off the cones; this error cannot proceed too far before the spring slips off the cones.
Prices, like the garage doors themselves, run the gamut. You can pay as little as $400 for a door that you install yourself, or several thousand dollars for a high-end premium door that includes all the bells and whistles, including installation. A mid-range, 16-by-7-foot door will typically cost from $750 to $1,500, installed. Premium insulated steel doors run from $750 to $3,500. According to Remodeling Magazine’s 2017 Cost vs. Value report, the average national cost of a garage door replacement is $3,304.
Because your garage door can be customized, pricing varies. Our Clopay configurator will help you review pricing as you begin your project. You’ll start with your door size and whether you need a single or double car door. Next, you can choose the collection of door, which gives you options of various materials and styles. Then, you’ll choose your construction, which allows you to decide what you need in terms of energy efficiency, durability and noise control. Lastly, you will be able to visualize the design and see an end price. Other optional add-ons include windows, decorative hardware, smart features and the r-value. However, you do not have to use the configurator. We also install standard garage doors that have not been customized so you know the product price early on in the process.
Leveling the door: Before commencing the spring winding, to check that you have the door properly leveled on the cables, considering all the factors above that make this a tricky adjustment, apply the winding cone setscrew lightly to lock the (unwound) spring cone temporarily on the torsion shaft, and momentarily lift the door slightly off the floor. Adjust the drum set as needed to level the door, repeating this slight lift test. Loosen the cone setscrew before winding the spring(s).
Finally, one of the most important garage door innovations over the years in increased child safety features. Sensors can detect when a child or pet is crossing the threshold while the door is closing, prompting it to stop immediately. Furthermore, doors can also sense when something is being pressed by the door, causing it to stop before inflicting a brutal crushing injury.
Capable of lifting a seven-foot garage door up to 500 pounds in weight, the SilentMax 750 comes with a number of convenience features for automatic and remote use. The included wireless keypad and dual remote controls will insure that you are the only one that has access to the door. Compatible with a number of in-car remote systems like HomeLink, you can also keep the remotes at home if you are worried about losing the “keys.”
Fiberglass and vinyl garage doors are composite units, combining a steel core behind a fiberglass or vinyl skin. They have also polyurethane insulated base sections, or other type of foam insulation. These premium doors can match steel garage doors, and be a realistic imitation of wood (namely fiberglass units), but they may be more expensive than steel units.
Your ad had no cheap coupons or promises.. Just business. Service was more than prompt. No attempt to fix something that was not broke or did not try to sell me anything I did not need. He stated the price at the beginning and stuck to it. (I was so pleased, I did not bother to mention a senior discount.) Very, very pleased that I have found someone I can trust and rely on.

Fortunately, owners aren't bashful about weighing in on their garage door openers. Though some models get only a handful of reviews others receive hundreds of unique ratings on sites such as Amazon, Home Depot and Lowe's. If you are interested in a Craftsman garage door opener, Sears is the place to visit. While our research reveals that no garage door opener is perfect, several models jump to the fore as offering good performance and good value in the eyes of owners. These are the openers that we've named Best Reviewed for this edition of our report.
To estimate the maximum physical force required to wind these springs, consider that they are balancing the weight of the door with a torque applied to a lift drum on each end of the torsion shaft. The lift drums have a 2-inch radius, which is the standard residential size, and corresponds conveniently to about a 1-foot circumference. If we pessimistically assume the 10-by-7-foot door has a weight of 350 pounds, this implies a torque of 350 pounds on a 2-inch radius, that is, 700 inch-pounds, or 58 foot-pounds. Each of the two springs should be exerting slightly less than half of the balancing torque, or 29 foot-pounds. Compare this to, say, the bolts in an automobile, which are typically torqued to values of about 50 foot-pounds, or tire lug nuts, which may be torqued to well over 100 foot-pounds.
Uncentered center bearing plate: The center bearing plate need not actually be in the center. It doesn't much matter where it is, since the purpose of the bracket is to anchor the spring ends. This anchoring must be secure, since all the torsion is held together at that point. On a stud-framed wall, this bracket may be placed over the stud closest to the center rather than exactly at the center of the door opening.
Smartphone Control: Many newer garage door openers allow you to connect the device to your home's Wi-Fi network, according to RW Garage Doors. You then can open and close the door through a smartphone app. In fact, many of these apps will give you an alert on the smartphone when the garage door is open for a certain period. Some opener models even can connect to your existing Smart Home system, incorporating all your appliances on one system.

From The Courier:
Captain Underpants was a hit at the Library of Congress, Carla Hayden told a group Friday at the University of Findlay.
Hayden, the librarian of Congress, spoke at “Fridays at Findlay,” an executive speaker series presented by the University of Findlay and sponsored by First Federal Bank. Her visit was arranged in part through U.S. Rep. Bob Latta.
While Hayden spoke with passion about the importance of getting children reading, she cautioned that sometimes, when kids get to school, “reading is made to be a chore.”
Even adults, “especially book club members,” assume that if they start a book they must finish it. “It’s like, ‘Eat your vegetables,’” she said.
Hayden instead advocated an approach that encourages both children and adults to “keep that joy going” and read what they love. Say, Captain Underpants.

N1334 “Filigree Rosary”
Crystal beads from an old rosary with Sacred Heart medal.
I have only recently found a way to use the beautiful beads that many old broken rosaries offer. Here, the beads are a clear, lovely crystal that reflects all kinds of light. I believe they are hand cut aurora borealis crystal firmly linked with the original bronze wire. The large pendant is a contemporary bronze casting of a very traditional medal of Jesus pointing to the Sacred Heart, truly elegant! This medal is finished with an antiquing process that takes it back to its original beauty, as is the pretty filigree center above.Between the two medals I have added a sterling and crystal flower. It will go with anything using the two metals and is in good keeping with contemporary and much sought after longer jewelry. This necklace is 16” folded or 32” total in length. It speaks for itself, and, I hope, for the special buyer.
