Sons of Anarchy Spoilers
Leanne's Spoiler List: Coming Deaths Will Be For The Greater Good, Says Exec Producer Barclay
Don't miss what Leanne's Spoiler List had to say about the upcoming deaths this season on Sons of Anarchy!
Sons of Anarchy: Death is coming for the fellas of FX — and it certainly won't be pretty. Producer Paris Barclay says that there will be "quite a few empty seats at the table" by season's end. Yikes! And unfortunately, star-slash-baddie Ron Perlman fears he might be one of them. "I've worried [about being killed off] pretty much for the last three seasons," Perlman says. "My deeds get more and more dastardly, and more and more heinous. I'm fodder, baby. A lot of people want to take me out, and not for coffee." [Insert your version of "oh snap!" here.]
Losing Clay would be a major bummer, but Barclay says this season's deaths will all be for the greater good. "We're starting to develop the story of Jax (Charlie Hunnam) really taking control of the club," he says. "There are going to have to be certain transitions to make that happen, and that's what you're going to see in Season 5." Looking forward to it!

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act makes leaving electronic messages on your cell phone or home phone illegal if you have not had a business relationship with the company calling you. If you are getting these calls on someone else's account, do not erase messages that are left. Call me immediately and I can help you preserve them. The TCPA imposes a monetary penalty on the caller for each such call. Unfortunately, without the messages, collectors deny ever having called you. The messages are the best evidence.

Die DALEX GmbH ist ein deutsches Industrieunternehmen im Bereich der Widerstandsschweißtechnik und der Automatisierungstechnik mit Sitz in Wissen.

Geschichte
Das Unternehmen wurde im Jahr 1911 in Solingen-Ohligs von Reidemeister Carl Niepenberg als Einzelunternehmen gegründet. Am 11. Februar 1922 gründete Carl Niepenberg daraus zusammen mit seinem Bruder Walter die Niepenberg & Co. GmbH in Solingen-Ohligs, welche sich auf die Produktion von Rasierklingen spezialisiert hatte.

Am 4. September 1925 wurde eine Zweigniederlassung in Eitorf gegründet, am 5. März 1929 eine weitere in Wissen. Neben der schwerpunktmäßigen Produktion von Rasierern, Rasierklingen und Rollbandklingen (von 1922 bis 1932 unter der Marke "Wanie" weltweit bekannt) wurden verschiedene andere Produkte hergestellt, u. a. Zündkerzen für Bugatti und weitere Fahrzeugbauer. 1935 produzierte das Unternehmen mit 150 Mitarbeiter eine halbe Million Rasierklingen pro Woche.

Von Juni 1931 bis 1938 wurde unter dem Namen "Strandbad Nisterau" ein Schwimmbad am Werksstandort Wissen betrieben.

Ab 1936 begann die Produktion von Schweißtransformatoren und ab 1945 von Punktschweißmaschinen. 1950 wurde die Produktion von Rasierklingen eingestellt und das Unternehmen fokussierte sich komplett auf die Fertigung von Schweißmaschinen, seit 1952 unter dem Markennamen "DALEX".

Am 20. Juli 1948 wurde der Standort in Solingen aufgegeben und der Hauptsitz nach Wissen verlegt. 1949 schieden Walter Niepenberg und sein Sohn Walter Niepenberg jun. aus dem Unternehmen aus und gründeten in unmittelbarer Nähe die Nistertal Walter Niepenberg Maschinenfabrik, welche sich auf die Herstellung von Nutzfahrzeugen spezialisiert hatte.

Im September 1952 wurde das Unternehmen in DALEX-Werke Niepenberg & Co. GmbH umbenannt, später in DALEX-Werke Niepenberg GmbH & Co. KG.

Ab Mitte der 1960er Jahre wurden zusätzlich zu den Widerstands- auch Schutzgasschweißgeräte hergestellt, welche zunächst über Messer Griesheim, AEG, Linde und weitere Anbieter vertrieben wurden. Ab 1969 kamen Schutzgasschweißgeräte unter der Marke "DALEX" auf den Markt, welche auch über den Versandhändler Neckermann vertrieben wurden. Dazu wurde 1966 die Minverva Schweißtechnik GmbH als 100-prozentige Tochtergesellschaft gegründet.

1960 übernahm das Unternehmen die Gebr. Hannemann & Cie. GmbH aus Düren sowie die Constructions Européennes de Soudage S.A.R.L. aus Duppigheim in Frankreich. 1965 folgte die Übernahme der Maschinenfabrik Friedrich Henze GmbH.

1963 war DALEX Marktführer bei Standardschweißmaschinen und beschäftigte 1965 rund 780 Mitarbeiter. Nach dem Tod des Firmengründers Carl Niepenberg führte sein Sohn Werner das Unternehmen ab 1966 allein weiter. Ab 1970 wurden zusätzlich Sonderschweißmaschinen gefertigt. 1972 war DALEX Marktführer beim Lichtbogen- und Widerstandsschweißen. 1984 fertigte DALEX als erstes deutsches Unternehmen Gleichstromschweißmaschinen. 1985 gab es über 20 Vertriebsniederlassungen in Deutschland. Nach dem Tod von Werner Niepenberg führte ein Testamentsvollstrecker das Unternehmen ab 1996 weiter. 1997 wurde die DALEX Service Gesellschaft für Informationsverarbeitung und Logistik mbH als 100-prozentige Tochtergesellschaft gegründet.

Im Jahr 2000 erwarb DALEX den Geschäftsbetrieb der Seubert GmbH aus Breidenbach und fusionierte sie mit der Minverva Schweißtechnik GmbH zur Dalex-Seubert Schweißtechnik GmbH. Der Schwerpunkt der DALEX-Seubert Schweißtechnik lag auf der Fertigung von Roboter-Punktschweißzangen.

2002 ging das Unternehmen DALEX-Werke Niepenberg GmbH & Co. KG in die Insolvenz, in deren Rahmen sämtliche Tochtergesellschaften aufgelöst und der Kernbetrieb neu aufgeteilt wurden. Der Bereich des Lichtbogenschweißens wurde in die neu gegründete ELMA-Tech AG in Morsbach ausgegliedert, welche 2012 ebenfalls in die Insolvenz ging und heute unter dem Namen ELMA-Tech GmbH weitergeführt wird. Die Widerstandsschweißtechnik unter der Marke "DALEX" wurde durch eine Gruppe von lokalen Unternehmern übernommen und in die DALEX-Schweißmaschinen GmbH & Co. KG überführt, welche heute unter dem Namen DALEX GmbH zu den führenden Anbietern auf ihrem Gebiet gehört und sowohl Standard- als auch Sonderanlagen fertigt.

Im Jahr 2021 erwarb DALEX den Geschäftsbetrieb der Augenstein Maschinenbau GmbH mit Niederlassungen in Günzburg und Oettersdorf und erweiterte damit das Produktportfolio im Bereich der Automatisierungstechnik um Zuführungssysteme und Fördertechnik.

So MP is considered "Easy". Brilliant.
People who base their training on an algorithm deserve whatever comes their way.
There is zero reason for most people to run that fast for their regular runs.
I'm pretty good at running at the correct pace these days, but for me sometimes, and other runners often, the alternative might not be going slower, but not running at all. Not everybody is 100% focused on their fastest race time... even though I'm super competitive, in the end 99% of my time is spent on the process, not the end result. Psychologically there is something nice about turning a 100 minute run into a 93 minute run and having a few extra minutes of my day to do something else.
7:45 pace is a 3:23 marathon. If 7:45 is not easy for you then you are not a sub 3 marathoner.
My results would strongly disagree.
It's fine. I was 31 once too. When I was , I thought I knew what was best because I broke 3 hours before a lot of other guys posting on RWOL. Now that I'm ten years older and running faster in every single distance I realize maybe I didn't have all the answers.
My understanding is, and I could be mistaken, that most folks here are focused on getting faster. Not trying to save an extra few minutes.
And seriously, you cannot possibly think this way. WTF are you going to do with an extra 7 minutes? This may be the most absurd conversation I've had this week and I teach HS 9th graders.
There are days when I would say getting down the stairs in the morning is not easy.
And I have it on good authority (because I've run with him) that millar1987 frequently does easy runs at 8 minute pace and slower despite having a marathon pace of 6:23. I'm pretty sure he doesn't even time most of his easy runs.
I'd agree this conversation has gotten pretty absurd.
7:45 is never easy for me. Doable for a run of 90+ minutes while carrying a conversation? Sure. But it's not easy by my personal definition - I call that effort level moderate or aerobic.
I guess I'm not a sub-3 marathoner, race results to the contrary.
Wow. I assumed the 87 was your birth year. This is even more pathetic.
nimmalS is older than you and has a MP way faster than 6:23. So why shouldn't he be the authority by your "reasoning"?
What would you like me to learn? That I should be running my easy runs faster? You're yet to offer me the one explanation I asked for. McMillan considers "Easy" runs to be up to 85% maxHR. That's ridiculous. What is to be gained by running above 75% maxHR for easy days?
I'm willing to stipulate that blanket statements such as "if you don't label 7:45 pace easy then you're not a sub-3-hour marathoner" and "7:00-7:40 is a useless pace that does nothing for any runner in the 2:40-3:20 marathon range" are absurd, and work from there.
It doesn't appear to me that anyone #onhere is actually arguing against keeping easy days easy--either in theory or especially in practice.
Steve, I reminisce, I'm so sorry. I'm just catching on. You're amazing and you certainly have gotten much faster. I know you from way back when. I haven't gotten all the names figured out but I recall us having discussions because of your pace. I was always a fan i just never understood how you trained. I was an opinonated AH, probably still is. I hated water bottles and camelbak and did a post you ripped me to shreds lol, that's because I never marathon trained in the summer, never took water in college. Boy did I learn fast. I remember when you were one of the first to go sub 3 and I was hella impressed. i think i spent 2-3 years in the thread before i ever ran a marathon. Yeah I spent that time learning, especially from other mistakes. I was fast but had no stamina so I tried to lure you to shorter races knowing that's the only way I stood a chance. We had some fun times. Yes you've been improving steadily too.
Listen Steve my point exactly we live we learn. Its important that we learn because that's how we get better. Hindsight is 20/20. When i was a Mile\5ker I hammered i lived in the dead zone too. I hated it but my training group demanded hard runs the three times a week we met as a group. As a result I always felt I showed up to races really tired. When I started self coaching, I realized quickly the best way to improve was to go back to basics. My 1st high school coach was an old English bloke and he instilled in me some very simple ideas.
Every run should serve a purpose.
Train all 3 energy system because you always have to tap into all three as a competitive runner.
Eat smart and train likewise.
Even when i first met Joe Vigil, I remember our hour long talk about junk miles. In the end he told me there was no such thing as junk miles but there were dead zones to avoid. And just like my first coach he also said every run should serve a purpose.
We can try to help but as I said the forum is not really a place to learn. You know those kind of students that come pre-loaded with the best ideas those two are run buddies and will stick up for each other so I wont bother with them.
I'm just happy to see some of the old faces even under new handles.
Swimm, Mikkey, DCV2002 man those guys have been around for so long.
DW - I agree with everything you said and you weren't the one that called "my comment/run description" nonsense. All you did was ask for an explanation and I explained. So we're all good DW. You made all salient points and I respect your understanding the process.
Wish I could say the same for the other two.
Your last point G. I will look for that podcast. That I'd like to hear and maybe share as it aligns with my training philosophy.
A few months ago one of my athletes reached out to me via Instagram sending me a post by a very famous older Instagram runner 20mi MP run who btw finished behind you @ CIM.
She wanted to know why I never let her run that fast. She was seeing all these amazing MP workouts on IG and she never gets to do them. I said "because you can, doesn't mean you need to".
At end of the day I'm training her to go faster.
Man, at the start of this week I thought Swim getting upset with Mikkey was going to be the most exciting thing on here. Oops.
I have no idea who millar1987 is, or anything about his training, but it seems like some of you guys are missing his point. You throw out a statement like 7-740 pace serves absolutely no purpose for anyone ever and should be avoided at all cost or you'll die, and he says it has worked for him and produced good results for 8 years. The response is that since he's young, he doesn't know any better and that training won't work when he's older. But he's 50. So that makes his training even dumber? I understand his point to be that his training has worked well for him. I know it also works for others. Is there different training that could work even better for others? Could the millar1987 training not work for others, and lead them to injuries? Absolutely. I don't really see him disputing that.
Slammin, to be fair, you haven't really tried to help any since you came back. You dropped a bomb and when people began to question you about it you just said we're all a bunch of egotistical idiots that are too worried about bragging and too dumb to learn from your greatness. And I say that as someone who believes in your greatness. I know you're fast as hell, and I know that you actually want to help runners get better. But you haven't really spent much time here. Most people here really do want to learn and get faster.
And to the extent you started this discussion to liven up the joint, I love it.
I was nodding in agreement with most of your post but this is just dumb.
1. This isn't RWOL and so any nostalgia about the guys who have "been around so long" is somewhat misplaced. None of you has really been around *here* that long. NTTAWWT.
2. We've had all of these same conversations over and over on this board before you all washed ashore here and we all basically agree. People are working to find areas of disagreement but it's mostly semantics.
I think if you're a 2:40-3:20 marathoner the deadzone is 7:00-7:40.
And you, and a bunch of other folks basically agreed with my reasoning. For a 2:40 marathoner, that's likely their easy pace most days. For a 3:20 marathoner, their tempo runs and MP runs will fall into that range. Hardly no-man's land.
I can certainly ignore this thread but I kind of enjoy it. It's one of the few threads in the main message board (what old-time RA'ers call the GSP) where anyone talks about training anymore--most of whatever running talk still happens on RA is in the groups. But this isn't--it's right out here in the GSP which means you have to deal with the peanut gallery and the occasional handle you don't recognize. It could be a good thing. Or not.

Hammer-time in Colombia
The Hammer Series is continuing to expand; and in 2020, the pro cycling team-vs-team race series will kick off in Colombia, 'bringing the all-out racing to some of the world's most passionate cycling fans.'
The new race Hammer Colombia will debut on February 7-9, 2020 and will include the first women's Hammer Series event taking place on the same days as the men's. Both races will follow the unique Hammer format, with Climb, Sprint and Chase disciplines over three days.
The Colombian Sports Ministry, Coldeportes, and the Ministry of Tourism will bring the Hammer Series to the Coffee Cultural Landscape of Colombia. The first edition of Hammer Colombia will be held in Pereira, the capital city of the department of Risaralda. Together with Quindio and Caldas, this region is known as the 'Coffee Triangle'. In 2021 and 2022, Hammer Colombia will take place in Quindío and Caldas, respectively, showing off the scenery and landscape in this famous coffee region.
Ernesto Lucena, Director of Coldeportes said "The prestige of Colombia as a powerful country of sports is a reference that today we are trying to strengthen through this type of events, such as the Hammer Series. It is a perfect opportunity to show our kindness to the world, especially as a destination for cycling races. Due to the Hammer Series we can say that Colombia is a land of athletes."
Graham Bartlett, CEO of Velon, the company behind the Hammer Series, said "Colombia is the perfect stage for a Hammer race and there's huge excitement among the teams and riders to race Hammer in such a beautiful, dramatic region of the country. With partners in the Ministry of Sport and Ministry of Tourism we know we can create the most spectacular race possible.
"Hammer racing goes from strength to strength and we're particularly proud to announce a women's race in addition to the men's. For a long time, we've wanted to offer a Hammer race for women; and with such strong backing from our hosts in Colombia we've finally been able to achieve that. We're all working to make Hammer Colombia a game-changer in pro-road cycling for the fans."
After the inaugural event in the Netherlands in 2017, the Hammer Series has continued to expand internationally to include events in Norway, Hong Kong and now Colombia. Last year, Hammer Series online videos had more than 8.3 million views, confirming its popularity among fans.
The opening Hammer event of the 2019 season, Hammer Stavanger in Norway, took place in May and was won by Team Jumbo Visma. The second event, Hammer Limburg in the Netherlands, was staged last weekend, with Deceuninck – Quick-Step beating off their rivals to take top spot.
Between Stavanger and Limburg this year, the total number of online video views has reached 10 million and continues to rise as fans watch the action on demand. In addition to the live stream, all Hammer races are broadcast in more than 140 countries worldwide.
The Hammer Series is a unique team versus team race concept. At each race, the teams compete against each other to score points in thrilling disciplines: the Hammer Climb, Hammer Sprint and Hammer Chase.
The teams race against each other at events throughout the season; and the team with the most points overall at the end of the series is crowned Hammer Champion with the 'proven right to call themselves the best team in the world'.
In 2019, the Hammer Series consists of three races: Hammer Stavanger (May 24-26), Hammer Limburg (June 7-9) and Hammer Hong Kong (October 13). Hammer Colombia will debut on February 7-9, 2020.
The Hammer Series is being developed by Velon in partnership with race organiser host city partners. Velon's objective is to bring the excitement of the sport from the teams to the fans with new technology, new races and new ways to enjoy the sport. These include live rider data, action-packed content from the race and a concerted social media approach – all designed to bring the excitement of professional cycling to current and new fans.
The Hammer Series is growing into a global series of city hub-based races that builds upon the appeal of premium professional cycling and enables the host cities to promote and demonstrate initiatives in active lifestyle, mobility and sports tourism.

Q: Ruby on Rails: passing parameters from other controllers to a model I have in a users_controller:

@user = User.new(params[:user])

Passing parameters to a User model which works fine.
I need to pass some additional parameters labeled "profile" to the user model through the users controller.
This didn't work:

    @user = User.new(params[:user, :profile])

Neither did this:

    @user = User.new(params[:user], params[:profile])

I tried a variety of other similar things to get the profile parameters from the view into this model.
I'm using fields_for which works fine to get these fields into the users controller:

  <% fields_for "profile" do |fa| %>

I don't need/want a nested relationship. I just need to simply pass some additional parameters specified in the view to the model.
Thanks!

A: fields_for is generally used for assigning params to a related model, so it makes some particular assumptions about the structure of the data.
If you have a profile attribute in your model, you can make the profile parameter part of the  params[:user] collection and this will assign the attribute correctly.
You do this by naming the fields:
text_field_tag(user[profile], "val")

text_field_tag(user[profile][name], "val")

A: Thanks Toby!
Just to add to his answer.
I had to put
attr_accessor :profile

in the user model to access that element.
So the whole thing looks like:
View:

<%= text_field_tag :profile, params[:profile] %></p>

Controller:

@user.profile = params[:profile]

Model:

  attr_accessor :profile

After that I could access the profile element the same as the regular elements in the user model.

A: Try:
@user = User.new(params[:user])
@user.profile = Profile.new(params[:profile])

or
@user = User.new(params[:user])
@user.attributes = params[:profile]

UberRush Shutting down. Tookan has got you covered !
By Savita Dhawan 4th April 2018
UberRUSH, an offshoot of ridesharing giant Uber will shut down its services in New York, San Francisco, and Chicago. In an email to users, the company confirmed that it has planned to end its operations by June 30, 2018. Uber launched the on-demand delivery service in the year 2014 in Manhattan.It allowed the users to hire someone to pick up a package and deliver it to another location. While it will soon be out of the business now, it never expanded its operations beyond those three cities.
There is lack of explanation why Uber is winding down the RUSH operations, it is presumed that it might have failed to achieve the critical masses for its growth in the market. The challenges of high-speed delivery services like large overhead costs might have proven a poor fit for it. More so, the lack of focus on the potential markets and the higher opportunity costs of the drivers further added to its grief.
There's no doubt that the on-demand delivery business has expanded at a rapid pace. Instant access to messages, digital media, search engines and real-time tracking abilities has changed the customer behavior drastically. The customers now expect a quick, convenient and hassle-free experience. The on-demand deliveries are thus, driven by technology that allows businesses to fulfill customer demands immediately.

Decks are built for summertime, and now that the days are long and the sun is shining, EHT offers an overview of some critical construction techniques to make sure your next backyard project stands strong and steady.
With a little research you'll find a variety of methods to construct a deck, but deck construction must always conform to local building codes. Deck construction may also require a building permit. In general, building codes are developed by industry associations to provide minimum safety standards for a home's occupants, the environment and the public at large. Building codes are adopted and enforced by local government officials and therefore vary based on local political issues, environmental regulations, etc. However, building codes are "not intended to preclude the use of other construction methods or materials. All construction and materials must be approved by the authority having jurisdiction" (2009 International Residential Code). In other words, if the local building official determines your method of construction meets or exceeds the safety and soundness of what is prescribed by the building code, then you'll get the green light to start building. Check with your local building inspector to determine all local requirements and to clear up any questions you may have about the deck's design.
Lay out the deck area with stakes and string, and lay down plastic sheeting to prevent weeds and unwanted vegetation from growing beneath the deck.
Establishing the layout of the deck simply involves outlining the size and shape of the deck using string and wood stakes. This step will determine where you will locate the supporting concrete piers and support posts. It may help to string off the perimeter of the deck, and then line up a second set of stakes and string inside the perimeter to mark off your support posts. Measure the diagonals of your layout against the house wall to check for square. Move the stakes necessary until the outline is completely square.
To prevent weeds and unwanted foliage from growing up—and possibly through—the decking, spread a sheet of plastic film over the area. Cut the sheeting as necessary to wrap around posts and to allow drainage for rainwater. After the framing is complete you can weigh down the plastic with gravel or stones.
Decks that are attached to a house require a ledger board to make the connection. The lumber for the ledger and all framing members must be pressure-treated for exterior use. The ledger will establish the height of your deck. This is an absolutely critical connection and must be installed properly to ensure the strength and safety of the deck. Your ledger board and the deck's joists will support the weight of the deck, so use 2-by-8's or 2-by-10's depending on the size of the deck you plan to build. Some siding may need to be removed to install the board. The ledger is often bolted directly to the house band joist of the house with a waterproof connection and an air space that prevents moisture build-up. Make sure the ledger is level and attach it by using 1/2-inch diameter lag screws with washers beneath the screw heads. You can create the air space (for drainage) by using washers between the ledger and the house. Through-bolts, nuts and washers are also acceptable fasteners. All hardware and fasteners should be hot-dipped galvanized or stainless steel. When fastening the ledger, drill 1/4-inch pilot holes for the screws spaced every 2 feet. (Some lag screws, such as the RSS line from GRK Fasteners, are self-drilling.) Use a 1-inch spade bit to countersink the screws, which provides a flush surface on which to connect the deck joists.
If you are attaching the ledger to a poured concrete foundation, use expansion bolts. For connection to a block foundation, fill the block cells with concrete or grout and use a rubber mallet to drive lead masonry anchors for 3/8-inch lag screws into predrilled holes. Secure the fasteners with epoxy.
Seal the heads of the ledger screws with silicone caulk. The ledger connection should also be protected with flashing to prevent water intrusion. This is a critical step; the flashing will help prevent water from collecting behind the ledger and leading to rot. And the rot could, in turn, possibly lead to the deck collapsing when the screws pull away from the rotted wood. Check local codes for specific flashing instructions. Generally speaking, you want to tuck the flashing behind the siding to consistently divert runoff away from the house and ledger connection.
The galvanized post anchors from Simpson Strong-Tie elevate the bottom of the post about an inch off the surface of the footing to keep it away from standing water (www.strongtie.com).
Current code guidelines generally specify that deck posts should be 6-by-6 treated lumber—and specified for ground contact—rather than 4-by-4's. Deck posts can be supported by concrete pier footings or buried below the frost line and set in concrete. One of the newest and smartest methods of fastening a post is to use the galvanized post anchors from Simpson Strong-Tie, which elevate the bottom of the post about an inch off the surface of the footing to keep it away from standing water.
Deck joists are often supported by beams built from two large pieces of lumber, 2×8 or larger. The deck joists can be connected to the beam with metal hurricane brackets.
If the deck joists are supported by a beam, the beam should be connected to the support posts with the appropriate metal brackets, or notched into a 6-by-6 post and fastened with lag screws. It is not acceptable for joists or beams to only straddle the sides of the posts with through-bolts. The beam is constructed from two straight boards of the same dimensions—usually 2-by-8 or larger—that are nailed and glued flush and face-to-face to create a single 4-by. Build the beam with lag screws or 10d nails in a staggered pattern every 12 to 16 inches. Make sure any splices in the beam are located over a support post.
Tool setups are key to an organized project. Here we use a Bosch sliding miter saw with an out feed support stand to cut the deck boards to length (www.boschtools.com).
Where deck joists intersect the ledger board they should not be toe-nailed. Connect the joists with hot-dipped galvanized joist hangers and joist-hanger nails. Where deck joists cross the top edge of a beam, they can be attached with galvanized hurricane ties. Use your decking plan to determine joist spacing. Joists spaced 16 inches on center will usually do the trick, but you may need to space them more closely to accommodate some deck-board systems.
Notch the deck boards to fit around the rail posts, and run them "wild" over the edge of the deck frame. You can trim them all at once when installation is complete.
To stabilize movement in a deck frame, you have a few options. One is to install a long diagonal 2-by-4 brace to the underside of the joists. Another is to install perpendicular blocking between the joists, cut from the same size lumber as the deck joists. Another tried and true method is to install diagonal 2-by-4 braces fastened to the support posts and the adjacent framing members.
A pneumatic framing nailer with ring-shank nails can make quick work of installing a pressure-treated deck.
The decking surface can be made from pressure-treated wood, wood-plastic composite decking, PVC decking, cedar, cypress or exotic hardwoods such as ipe. Even aluminum deck systems are available. Each material has different advantages; some offer the genuine wood grain that you'll only get with a natural product, while other options may offer cool hidden-fastener systems, a prefinished appearance and minimal maintenance requirements. Research your material options carefully, explore the maintenance issues and balance your desire for certain aesthetics with a close eye on your budget—depending on the material, deck boards can vary greatly in cost.
Predrill the ends of the deck boards before fastening to prevent splitting the wood grain.
Scrail Fasteners from Fasco are a combination of a screw and a nail (www.fasco.com).
Note: A popular method of installing treated decking is to lay the boards diagonally over the framing for some extra decorative flair. You'll need to make this decision in advance of framing your deck, because the joists of a diagonal decking system should be spaced no greater than 12 inches on center. Parquet patterns or other more elaborate designs may require even further support, such as additional blocking or doubled joists.
You can drive the Scrail Fasteners with a pneumatic framing nailer, and also back them out easily with a screwdriver.
Fasteners for wood should be stainless steel, hot-dipped galvanized or otherwise coated for exterior use. If nailing the boards, the EHT staff recommends using two ring-shank nails per joist, driven through the decking at an angle toward each other for extra holding power. To prevent wood from splitting, use nails with thin shanks and blunt points. And, always pre-drill the grain at the ends of the boards before fastening to avoid splits.
Screws can also be used to fasten decks. One new item that makes deck installation easier is the Scrail Fastener. Scrail is a cross between a screw and a nail. Use a pneumatic nailer to drive the collated Scrail fasteners with high-production speed. However, if you make a mistake then you can easily back out the threaded fastener with a screwdriver—something you can't do with a ring-shank nail.
Some composite decking manufacturers offer fastener systems that are hidden inside the grooved edges between the deck boards. Show here is a ConceaLoc hidden fastener from Timbertech.
For wood decking as well as plastic and composite options, hidden-fastener systems that install along the edge of the boards are among the hottest new trends in decking. Some composite deck boards even come with a groove in each edge in which to hook a clip or biscuit, which is screwed to the joist then hidden inside the joint when the next board is installed. Other systems employ a tongue-and-groove design that conceals the deck screws beneath the tongue of the mating board.
Metal stair brackets from GOPro Construction make it possible to build a staircase with minimal marks and cuts (www.goproconstruction.com).
Stairs on a deck should be connected with galvanized metal hangers specifically designed to connect the stringers to the deck framing. Precut stair stringers, which can spare you a lot of time and calculations, are available at most lumber yards and hardware stores.
Also available are metal stair brackets for constructing a staircase with minimal marks and cuts. Rather than using notched stringers, the brackets attach to a pair of solid 2-by-6's using predrilled holes and pre-marked measurements. This creates a mounting surface for the treads and risers, whatever the pitch of the staircase.
Building a deck gives you the opportunity to add a personal touch, from decorative rail systems to integrated lighting and much more. Shown here are stainless steel balusters and solar post caps from Maine Ornamental (www.deckorators.com).
Handrail systems pose another place for potential danger if they aren't constructed properly. The posts of the handrail should not be nailed to the side of a deck. Nor should the posts be notched where they connect to the deck. At a minimum, 4-by-4 rail posts should be fastened to rim joists with a pair of 1/2-inch-diamater through bolts and washers. An even better practice is to reinforce the post-to-deck connection with metal hardware, such as that manufactured by Simpson Strong-Tie or Deck-Lok. Install the posts plumb and square. The rails and pickets should be built rigidly with no wobble or sway in the construction. Rail height is usually 36 inches high, and the pickets should be spaced no more than 4-inches apart. A variety of manufacturers offer rail kits for decks that ensure code compliance and a sturdy design.
Building your own deck provides an opportunity to give it a personal stamp. In addition to the wide range of building designs, you can dress it up with a combination of complementary paint or stain colors, add artistic deck-board accents or integrated lighting, even construct planter boxes, benches or inset frames that wrap around trees. Ultimately, the finished look is up to the designer, so if you're designing the deck, have fun with it.

US Economy Suffers Loss of US$3B Over Government Shutdown
Trump has also said he might declare a national emergency to get money for the border wall. Democrats would likely challenge that in court. | Photo: Reuters
The Congressional Budget Office reports the government lost US$3 billion during the 35-day shutdown.
The recent U.S. government shutdown will cost the economy some US$3 billion, congressional researchers said Monday as 800,000 federal employees returned to work after 35 days without pay.
Voter Disillusionment with Trump Spreads: New Poll
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said the cost of the shutdown would make the U.S. economy 0.02 percent smaller than expected in 2019. More significant effects will be felt by individual businesses and workers, particularly those who scrambled to make ends after not being paid.
Overall, the U.S. economy lost about $11 billion during the five-week period, the CBO said. It expects $8 billion to be recovered, however, as the government reopens and employees receive back pay.
"Among those who experienced the largest and most direct negative effects are federal workers who faced delayed compensation and private-sector entities that lost business. Some of those private-sector entities will never recoup that lost income," the report said.
The longest shutdown in U.S. history ended on Friday when Trump and Congress agreed to temporary government funding - without money for his U.S.-Mexico border wall - as the effects of the shutdown intensified across the country.
The Republican president had demanded that legislation to fund the government contain $5.7 billion for his long-promised wall. He says it is necessary to stop illegal immigration, human trafficking and drug smuggling, while Democrats call it costly and inefficient.
A committee of Republican and Democratic lawmakers have scheduled an initial meeting on Wednesday, which will be open to the public, as they try to negotiate a compromise on border security before the Feb. 15 deadline.
Trump said he would be willing to shut down the government again if lawmakers do not reach a deal he finds acceptable on border security. On Sunday, he expressed skepticism such a deal could be made.
Trump has also said he might declare a national emergency to get money for the border wall. Democrats would likely challenge that in court.

Learning health systems are the next big thing. Through the use of information technology, the hope is that we can analyse all the data captured in electronic health records to speed both the process of scientific discovery and the translation of these discoveries into routine practice1,2. Every patient's data, their response to treatment, and final outcome, will no longer be filed away, but feed the care of future patients3. It's an exciting vision, and if we can achieve it, there is no doubt healthcare delivery would be transformed.
If we were to step back, we might conclude that although this is an admirable vision, for all its failings, the machinery of science is already working faster than we can handle it. The arena where organizational learning most needs to take hold is in the way we deliver health services. It is clear that we could do so much better in this arena. There is too much variation in patient care, too much waste and harm in the system.
Learning system: The past shapes the future. Today's mistake is tomorrow's wisdom.
Forgetting system: The past is the future. Today's mistakes are forgotten quickly and are repeated tomorrow.
With this perspective it is easy to see examples everywhere of such 'forgetting'. The history of large-scale e-health is a litany of the same case study being repeated. A large health IT project is started (usually by a government and usually as a technology innovation project rather than to fix a defined health problem). It quickly runs over time, over budget, and is treated with dismay as its users find it doesn't do what they were promised. The end result is new problems, workarounds to circumvent the intruder technology, and in some cases, the eventual removal of the system.
The solution to this mess is of course seems to be to start a new large-scale e-health system, run by different people. Yet, like moths to a flame, these new protagonists seem to make the same set of strategic mistakes, but in new ways. Today's large-scale health IT projects seem to be in a perpetual state of Groundhog Day, and must be a classic example of a forgetting system. This may be because there is no learning, because we convince ourselves that this time is 'different' and the past has nothing to teach us, or because when we look at past failures, we are unable to drawn any conclusions because of a lack of ability or imagination.
If a system 'forgets' then by implication that means that information that existed in the system has been lost, preventing its reuse to guide future events. If you think about it for one moment, the health system loses information every moment of every day, in unimaginable amounts. We only record a fraction of the events that occur. Most of these are not directly captured but rather are reconstructed from the memory of the individual making the record.
If we were to transform our forgetting system into a learning system, so that health system improvements are driven by experience, what do we need to do? For a system to 'remember' an event, a teachable moment, it firstly needs to be detected. You can't remember what you never saw. Next, after detection, it needs to be recorded. Finally, this recording needs to be somehow aggregated with other events, for discovery of new knowledge to occur.
When it comes to treatment and diagnosis, we have built very precise mechanisms to detect important events or processes through a variety of diagnostic methods. The data captured are increasingly being recorded in electronic systems, and analysed. That's the 'big data' movement in healthcare in a nutshell.
When it comes to health services, we still don't know what events we should detect, what processes of service delivery should be instrumented, and there is still little thought to pooling system measurements in a way to allow across organizational analysis and learning. So, if we are to make our health services become learning ones, the task is much bigger than installing patient records.
One of the challenges to learning in health services is that, whilst it is easy to imagine that organizational memories can be stored in bits on a database, more often they will sit in the heads of those who work within them4. So, a good indicator that you are working in a forgetting system is that your organization has a high staff turnover – because it is very likely that when staff walk out the door they also walk with everything they know about the system that they are leaving, and no one has tried to capture that rich web of knowledge (if it could so easily be captured).
Memories however also exist in other ways in an organisation. Crucially, they persist in the processes, protocols and built structures of the organisation, and in the workarounds and annotations that happen to physical spaces5. These structural memories are not inert or idly awaiting someone's analysis. They sit there every moment shaping work, and altering human perceptions, actions and intent.
With time, accreted structural memories can lead to inertia, to an immovable status quo6. These kinds of memories therefore need to be managed. Some need to be revisited and revised, others are the jewels of the past that we should never forget and some, some are impeding the emerging purpose of an organization, and need to be actively forgotten. The need for organizational apoptosis, or active forgetting, is something I've written about before6.
So, learning clearly is not nearly enough. Recording and analysing, at least as far as organisations are concerned, can only take you so far. The living walls and praxis of an organisation are already busy recording, even learning, but may not make it possible to do anything about what has been learned. For organisational inertia to be broken, and for repeated failures to be avoided, we not only need to learn, we need to actively, wisely, carefully, forget.
That will be a true learning system, because learning systems also need the capacity to change.

To many Americans, yoga is simply the practice of postures at the neighborhood health club. For others, it conjures up the image of a hermit perched in a cave high in the Himalayas. Either way, yoga practice is usually considered something fundamentally done to benefit your own development. Even if you are taking a yoga class with others, your practice is still solitary and focused on you, as is the time spent stretching your hamstrings on your sticky mat at home.
Reading the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali generally reinforces this understanding. This book, which many scholars consider the primary text of yoga, gives an in-depth description of yogic states and the practices associated with them. It is essentially about the internal process of learning how to disidentify with the causes of suffering and thus reach the goal of yoga, merging with the Divine.
Whether we choose a more casual view of yoga as the solitary practice of postures or the classical interpretation of yoga as a practice for escaping the bonds of avidya (ignorance) and entering the state of samadhi, the practice doesn't seem to directly address the day-to-day social relationships of those of us who live in the complex, busy world of families, jobs, and car pools. But if you look closely, the Sutra does offer advice about the social dimension of life. In Chapter 1, verse 33, Patanjali says, "By cultivating friendship, compassion, gladness, and indifference toward those who are comfortable, those suffering, the virtuous, and the non-virtuous, the mind is purified and made pleasant."
This verse is the second in a series of seven techniques suggested to reduce the chatterings of the mind, which are said to be the impediments to wholeness. In verse 33, Patanjali could just be presenting these practices as a form of meditation. But I think he is also suggesting that the way the practitioner acts toward others is an integral part of the practice of yoga. Whatever Patanjali may have intended, the verse is best understood when broken down into its basic parts. The actions we are to practice and the recipients of those respective actions are listed separately, but it is clear that they are meant to be paired in a one-to-one correspondence.
The first of the pairs implores us to practice friendship toward the comfortable. This would seem to be a natural thing, to give the happy and comfortable our friendship and love. But as a test, we can observe our feelings toward them when they are not so well off. Are we secretly a little glad that things have gone awry? Sometimes we may feel jealous or envious of others who are fortunate. This envy may even progress to self-pity because our life does not seem to have the ease we perceive in theirs. When we have such feelings, it becomes a real discipline to actively practice friendship toward those whom we see as happy.
The second pair suggests that we practice compassion toward those who are suffering. It may seem easy to feel compassion, and from a distance, it often is—when we observe the suffering of innocent victims of a tragedy, for example. But what about compassion for someone you perceive as a difficult person, even an enemy of sorts? There's a saying that helps me to understand this part of the verse: "If you could see your enemy's suffering back to the third generation, he would no longer be your enemy." When I can remember that those who are angry, revengeful, or violent are actually suffering greatly—otherwise, they couldn't act that way—then I can more easily access my compassionate feelings toward them. This shift in awareness is what the practice of compassion is all about.
This practice, I believe, is to be extended to oneself as well. As important as it is to offer compassion to others, it's just as crucial to be kind to ourselves when we are suffering. To see compassion only as something we give to others is to miss the transformational power of applying this sutra to our own thoughts and actions. In fact, all the practices suggested in this verse are as valuable directed toward ourselves as toward others.
In the third and fourth pairs, Patanjali suggests that we express gladness toward the virtuous and indifference toward the nonvirtuous. Even setting aside the difficult question of exactly what it means to be virtuous, these are challenging practices. Like friendliness toward the fortunate, gladness toward the virtuous can be sidetracked by jealousy, but the injunction to practice indifference is often the greater challenge.
Indifference is not something that is just to be acted; rather, it is to be felt. What we normally call indifference is just the refusal to show our disapproval or disdain. But Patanjali is not suggesting that. He is suggesting that we deeply and sincerely let go of attachment to our judgments. Specifically, we are to let go of our attachment to feeling superior to the nonvirtuous. We are to let go of feeling right, of feeling smug and superior, and instead to cultivate equanimity.
The moment I have the thought that someone else is a fool, an evil person, an incompetent, or have any other form of judgment, I have diminished my ability to observe that person. They no longer really exist for me in their full human complexity. What does exist is my concept of them. Not only am I no longer seeing and relating to a whole human being, I am no longer acting from the foundation of ahimsa (nonviolence), which is the first yama, or ethical precept, of Patanjali's yoga. And remember, it's just as violent to make such judgments about yourself as it is to make them of others.
To say this level of indifference is difficult to practice is an understatement. Self-righteousness and self-satisfaction can simply feel like so much fun. Indulging in these thoughts and feelings not only gives us a sense of power over others but also the false comfort of thinking, "I don't really have to change because I am so much better than so-and-so."
As children, we simply perceive our world. From those perceptions we create thoughts that gradually harden into beliefs. In turn, those beliefs narrow our window of perception. These narrowed perceptions interfere with our ability to see clearly—and so it goes, in a downward spiral of constricting awareness. Patanjali consistently teaches us that we are the prisoners of our beliefs; they create a prison as surely as if they were actual bars around us. Buddha stated it slightly differently when he said, "Do not seek enlightenment; rather cease to cherish beliefs."
It is this cherishing of beliefs, about ourselves as well as about others and their actions, that Patanjali addresses in verse 33. Ask most practitioners of yoga today, and they will say they took up yoga to be more flexible, calm, or centered. In short, to be more comfortable. But Patanjali's yoga is not about making us comfortable. On the contrary, it is about effecting a fundamental change in the way we perceive, think, and act. And this can be quite uncomfortable. I sometimes ask of myself whether what I am doing is healthy for me and others or whether it is just habit. At times the answer to this question has given me the incentive to choose what is initially more difficult—attempting to deepen my self-awareness.
Well-known Indian philosopher Krishnamurti once stated that "The highest form of human intelligence is the ability to observe without judging." In this sense of the word, verse 33 is about becoming more intelligent. It is about observing how our thoughts create prisons for ourselves and others. Even more importantly, verse 33 gives us specific practical techniques for extending our yoga practice into the relationships that are such a crucial part of our lives.
