Three years later I took the train down and walked to the eastern chainlink enclosure, to look in and see how it felt.

Q: SQL time difference between two dates result in hh:mm:ss I am facing some difficulty with calculating the time difference between two dates.
What I want is, I have two dates let say
@StartDate = '10/01/2012 08:40:18.000'
@EndDate='10/04/2012 09:52:48.000'

so the difference between two dates in the form of hh:mm:ss is 72:42:30.
How can I get this result in a T-SQL query?

A: While maybe not the most efficient, this would work:
declare @StartDate datetime, @EndDate datetime

select @StartDate = '10/01/2012 08:40:18.000',@EndDate='10/04/2012 09:52:48.000'

select convert(varchar(5),DateDiff(s, @startDate, @EndDate)/3600)+':'+convert(varchar(5),DateDiff(s, @startDate, @EndDate)%3600/60)+':'+convert(varchar(5),(DateDiff(s, @startDate, @EndDate)%60))

if you can run two selects then this would be better because you only do the datediff once:
declare @StartDate datetime, @EndDate datetime

select @StartDate = '10/01/2012 08:40:18.000',@EndDate='10/04/2012 09:52:48.000'
declare @Sec BIGINT

select @Sec = DateDiff(s, @startDate, @EndDate)

select convert(varchar(5),@sec/3600)+':'+convert(varchar(5),@sec%3600/60)+':'+convert(varchar(5),(@sec%60))

A: I like the idea of making this into a function so it becomes re-useable and your queries become much easier to read:
--get the difference between two datetimes in the format: 'h:m:s'
CREATE FUNCTION getDateDiff(@startDate DATETIME, @endDate DATETIME)
RETURNS VARCHAR(10)
AS BEGIN
    DECLARE @seconds INT = DATEDIFF(s, @startDate, @endDate)
    DECLARE @difference VARCHAR(10) =
    CONVERT(VARCHAR(4), @seconds / 3600) + ':' +
    CONVERT(VARCHAR(2), @seconds % 3600 / 60) + ':' +
    CONVERT(VARCHAR(2), @seconds % 60)
    RETURN @difference
END

Usage:
DECLARE @StartDate DATETIME = '10/01/2012 08:40:18.000'
DECLARE @endDate DATETIME = '10/04/2012 09:52:48.000'

SELECT dbo.getDateDiff(@startDate, @endDate) AS DateDifference

Result:
    DateDifference
1   73:12:30

It's also easier to read the result if you add padding so the format is always hh:mm:ss.  For example, here's how you would do that in SQL Server 2012 or later:
--get the difference between two datetimes in the format: 'hh:mm:ss'
CREATE FUNCTION getDateDiff(@startDate DATETIME, @endDate DATETIME)
RETURNS VARCHAR(10)
AS BEGIN
    DECLARE @seconds INT = DATEDIFF(s, @startDate, @endDate)
    DECLARE @difference VARCHAR(10) =
    FORMAT(@seconds / 3600, '00') + ':' +
    FORMAT(@seconds % 3600 / 60, '00') + ':' +
    FORMAT(@seconds % 60, '00')
    RETURN @difference
END

Note that this will not clip the hour if it is more than 2 digits long.  So 1 hour would show up as 01:00:00 and 100 hours would show up as 100:00:00

A: declare @StartDate datetime, @EndDate datetime

select @StartDate = '10/01/2012 08:40:18.000',@EndDate='10/04/2012 09:52:48.000'

select convert(varchar(5),DateDiff(s, @startDate, @EndDate)/3600)+':'+convert(varchar(5),DateDiff(s, @startDate, @EndDate)%3600/60)+':'+convert(varchar(5),(DateDiff(s, @startDate, @EndDate)%60)) as [hh:mm:ss]

This query will helpful to you.

A: DECLARE @dt1 datetime='2012/06/13 08:11:12', @dt2 datetime='2012/06/12 02:11:12'

SELECT CAST((@dt2-@dt1) as time(0))

A: The shortest code would be:
Select CAST((@EndDateTime-@StartDateTime) as time(0)) '[hh:mm:ss]'

A: If you're not opposed to implicit type casting I'll offer this an alternative solution. Is it more readable with better formatting?  You be the judge.
DECLARE  @StartDate datetime = '10/01/2012 08:40:18.000'
        ,@EndDate   datetime = '10/04/2012 09:52:48.000'

SELECT
    STR(ss/3600, 5) + ':' + RIGHT('0' + LTRIM(ss%3600/60), 2) + ':' + RIGHT('0' + LTRIM(ss%60), 2) AS [hh:mm:ss]
FROM (VALUES(DATEDIFF(s, @StartDate, @EndDate))) seconds (ss)

A: If you need a zero padded difference between 2 dates:
SELECT convert(varchar(2),FORMAT(DATEDIFF(s, @startDate, @endDate)/3600,'0#'))+':'
   +convert(varchar(2),FORMAT(DATEDIFF(s, @startDate, @endDate)%3600/60,'0#'))+':'
   +convert(varchar(2),FORMAT(DATEDIFF(s, @startDate, @endDate)%60,'0#')) AS Duration

A: Try this one:
declare @StartDate datetime, @EndDate datetime

select @StartDate = '2016-05-04 10:23:41.083', @EndDate='2016-05-04 10:25:26.053'

select CAST(DateDiff(MI, @startDate, @EndDate)/60 AS varchar)+':'+Cast(DateDiff(MI, @startDate, @EndDate)%60 AS varchar)+':'+cast(DateDiff(s, @startDate, @EndDate)%60 AS varchar) as [hh:mm:ss]

A: Take a look at these. I didn't use more parenthesis to keep it readable, so remember that multiplication is done before addition or subtraction.
Both below return:
hr  mins  sec   timediff
73   12    30   73:12:30

This is written to not use a sub-query and be the most readable and understandable:
declare @StartDate datetime,
@EndDate datetime

set @StartDate = '10/01/2012 08:40:18.000'
set @EndDate =   '10/04/2012 09:52:48.000'

select datediff(hour, @StartDate, @EndDate) hr,
   datediff(minute, @StartDate, @EndDate)
   - datediff(hour, @StartDate, @EndDate) * 60 mins,
   datediff(second, @StartDate, @EndDate)
   - (datediff(minute, @StartDate, @EndDate) * 60) sec,
   cast(datediff(hour, @StartDate, @EndDate) as varchar)+':'+
   cast(datediff(minute, @StartDate, @EndDate)
   - datediff(hour, @StartDate, @EndDate) * 60 as varchar)+':'+
   cast(datediff(second, @StartDate, @EndDate)
   - (datediff(minute, @StartDate, @EndDate) * 60) as varchar) timediff

This is a version that would perform better if you have a lot of data. It requires a sub-query.
declare @StartDate datetime,
@EndDate datetime

set @StartDate = '10/01/2012 08:40:18.000'
set @EndDate =   '10/04/2012 09:52:48.000'

select s.seconds / 3600  hrs,
s.seconds / 60 - (seconds / 3600 ) * 60 mins,
s.seconds - (s.seconds / 60) * 60   seconds,
cast(s.seconds / 3600 as varchar) + ':' +
cast((s.seconds / 60 - (seconds / 3600 ) * 60) as varchar) + ':' +
cast((s.seconds - (s.seconds / 60) * 60) as varchar) timediff
from (select datediff(second, @StartDate, @EndDate) as seconds) s

A: I came across this post today as I was trying to gather the time difference between fields located in separate tables joined together on a key field. This is the working code for such an endeavor.  (tested in sql 2010)
Bare in mind that my original query co-joined 6 tables on a common keyfield, in the code below I have removed the other tables as to not cause any confusion for the reader.
The purpose of the query is to calculate the difference between the variables CreatedUTC & BackupUTC, where difference is expressed in days and the field is called 'DaysActive.'
declare @CreatedUTC datetime
declare @BackupUtc datetime

SELECT TOP 500

table02.Column_CreatedUTC AS DeviceCreated,
CAST(DATEDIFF(day, table02.Column_CreatedUTC, table03.Column_EndDateUTC) AS nvarchar(5))+ ' Days' As DaysActive,
table03.Column_EndDateUTC AS LastCompleteBackup

FROM

Operations.table01 AS table01

LEFT OUTER JOIN

    dbo.table02 AS table02
ON
    table02.Column_KeyField = table01.Column_KeyField

LEFT OUTER JOIN

    dbo.table03 AS table03
ON
    table01.Column_KeyField = table03.Column_KeyField

Where table03.Column_EndDateUTC > dateadd(hour, -24, getutcdate()) --Gathers records with an end date in the last 24 hours
AND table02.[Column_CreatedUTC] = COALESCE(@CreatedUTC, table02.[Column_CreatedUTC])
AND table03.[Column_EndDateUTC] = COALESCE(@BackupUTC, table03.[Column_EndDateUTC])

GROUP BY table03.Column_EndDateUTC, table02.Column_CreatedUTC
ORDER BY table02.Column_CreatedUTC ASC, DaysActive, table03.Column_EndDateUTC DESC

The Output will be as follows:
[DeviceCreated]..[DaysActive]..[LastCompleteBackup]
---------------------------------------------------------
[2/13/12 16:04]..[463 Days]....[5/21/13 12:14]
[2/12/13 22:37]..[97 Days].....[5/20/13 22:10]

A: declare @StartDate datetime,
@EndDate datetime
set @StartDate = '10/01/2012 08:40:18.000'
set @EndDate =   '10/01/2012 09:52:48.000'

SELECT CONVERT(CHAR(8), CAST(CONVERT(varchar(23),@EndDate,121) AS DATETIME)
-CAST(CONVERT(varchar(23),@StartDate,121)AS DATETIME),8) AS TimeDiff

A: It's A Script Write Copy then write in your script file and change

In case you're still unsure about buying a certified Toyota car, truck, or SUV, there are even more great benefits. To further increase your peace of mind, each TCUV comes with a 12-month/12,000-mile inclusive warranty in addition to the 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. In the unfortunate event that your Toyota 4Runner, Camry, Highlander, Tacoma, or Tundra model breaks down, you'll be covered by the complimentary roadside assistance for one year from the purchase. Your pre-owned vehicle will be towed to the nearest Toyota service center, and we'll work hard to get you back on the road in a timely manner. With over 1,400 service locations to choose from, you're never far away from top-notch Toyota service.

The next 7 day outlook for Tongi shows the average daytime maximum temperature will be around 39°C, with a high for the week of 40°C expected on the afternoon of Friday 26th. The mean minimum temperature will be 30°C, dipping to its lowest on the morning of Wednesday 24th at 27°C. The week ahead will remain predominantly dry. On the whole winds are likely to be moderate.


MTN-FAZ Super League side 'Mighty' Mufulira Wanderers have engaged experienced Portuguese coach Paulo Jorge Silva on a two year contract as head coach.
Wanderers secretary Goodwell Mateyo, who confirmed the development yesterday, said the club believes Silva has the right credentials to steer the team to glory.
Mateyo said the other members on the technical bench will remain unchanged as they will work as backroom staff for the new head coach.
Silva brings a vast of experience to the Mufulira giants who have struggled this season after head coach Manfred Chabinga quit on them.
"Mufulira Wanderers Football Club are pleased to announce the appointment of Paulo Jorge Silva as club head coach. The Portuguese has extensive experience in football management. The existing backroom staff at Mufulira Wanderers shall be retained as assistants to the new Head coach.
"The Club is confident that the head coach will be pivotal in ensuring the club meets its season's aspirations," Mateyo said.
Silva will take over from Chewe Mulenga who has been working in an acting capacity after Chabinga left.
Mateyo said the club has not yet given the coach specific targets for the season but will do so at the beginning of the next one.
He said the idea was to give the coach a performance based contract but they will have to wait until this season comes to a close.
The hiring of Silva will come as a sigh of relief for the Wanderers faithful after the club had earlier embarrassed itself by hiring an Egyptian coach Ahmed Suliman who did not have the right qualifications to head a Super Division side.
But Silva is a UEFA B licence holder who has coached top teams in Europe having worked with VfB Stuggart of Germany as well as Greuther Furth, Nuremberg, Aalen while in Portugal he worked with Cristiano Ronaldo's former club Sporting Lisbon.
He has also got some experience working Africa having coached teams such as Hearts of Aok of Ghana, Esperance of Tunisia, COD of Nigeria and Dynamos of Zimbabwe which was his last job where he was sacked barely six months into his three year contract.
Silva has a huge task of steering Wanderers who are lying on 12 position just one point from the relegation zone with 18 points from 16 games.

What Is Kamani Wood?
••• Don Landwehrle/iStock/Getty Images
Interesting Facts About the Hackberry Tree
By Chris Deziel
The tree known in Hawaii as kamani has a broad distribution throughout southern Asia and Africa, and it has many other names; its scientific name is Calophyllum inophyllum, and three of its more well-known names are tamanu, poon and Alexandrian laurel. People who live in areas in which this tree is native often consider it sacred, and it has many medicinal uses. Hawaiians traditionally use the wood for home construction, decorative crafts and containers.
The Kamani Tree
Kamani is a Hawaiian name, but Calophyllum inophyllum is not indigenous to Hawaii -- it was introduced by Polynesian settlers. It's a member of the mangosteen family, and it grows near sandy beaches and other lowland areas that have ample sunlight. It grows slowly, can attain a height of 18 meters (60 feet) or more and has a dense foliage consisting of large, stiff leaves. This tree is known throughout its native habitat for its fragrant fruit, which turns poisonous as it ripens and produces a thick oil used to -- among other things -- soothe skin irritations and provide relief from insect bites.
A Good Material for Canoes
Kamani isn't used widely enough to be included on most Janka hardness charts, so it's difficult to gauge its hardness with respect to other wood species, but it's variously described as strong, durable and medium hard. It has a specific gravity of between 0.597 to 0.647, making it a little more than half as dense as water, and unlike many tropical hardwoods with specific gravities greater than 1, kamani wood readily floats. That fact is one probable reason for its popularity as a raw material for canoes among the Hawaiians.
Not the Ideal Raw Material
The red and white colors of kamani wood turn reddish brown as the wood ages, and the close, interlocking grain allows craftspeople and woodworkers to produce attractive products. The wood is relatively rare, however, because the tree grows so slowly, and it isn't the ideal raw material. The interlocking grain gives the wood a wooly appearance when it is fresh cut, and the complex grain makes it somewhat difficult to work. In Hawaii, as in some countries in southeast Asia, kamani is often fashioned into plates, bowls and utensils because it imparts no woody taste or odor to food.
Fun Facts About Kamani
Kamani is an attractive ornamental tree and is usually planted for that purpose -- not for its timber. It produces a prolific number of fruits, and although these turn poisonous as they ripen, the oil derived from them is considered a valuable skin salve. Thus, the oil is prized as much in Hawaii -- for such purposes as lomi lomi massage -- as it is in other parts of the world, where it is known as tumanu or domba oil. The bark has been used to shingle roofs in some locales, and the latex that flows under the bark can be turned into a poison to kill rodents and stun fish.

If you're familiar with Facebook advertising, then the principals behind Twitter advertising will be very easy to grasp. You select a campaign objective, upload creatives, define targeting, set bids and budgets and launch.
There are three different types of advertising campaigns you can run on Twitter—promoted tweets, promoted accounts and promoted trends. What type of campaign you run will be determined by what your campaign objective is.
Awareness campaigns aim to getting the maximum reach for your campaign. With this campaign type you are promoting your tweets and setting a bid by Cost Per 1000 Impressions (CPM). Twitter will optimize your ads to reach as many unique users as possible. Awareness campaigns are created by using existing tweets or building tweets that conform to these standards in the Twitter Ads Manager.
Tweet Engagement campaigns aim to get users engaging with your tweets by either Liking, Retweeting or Replying to your tweet. With this campaign type you are promoting your tweets and paying per initial engagement with the user. Twitter will optimize your ads to try and get as many tweet engagement as possible.

After Chipotle Outbreaks, Will 'Food With Integrity' Still Resonate?
A sign saying "we hope to be opening soon" is pictured outside a new Chipotle Mexican Grill location at University Village in Seattle in November.
Chipotle Mexican Grill is struggling to convince its customers it's a safe place to eat, after several outbreaks of foodborne illnesses have sickened hundreds of its customers. But no one thinks the task is going to be easy.
"This is a fairly significant problem for Chipotle," Timothy Calkins, clinical professor of marketing at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, tells us. While customers are often quick to forgive companies for transgressions, that may not be the case this time, he says.
"The difficult thing for Chipotle is that, it's not that there was one incident. There have been a number of different incidents," he says. "And the problem with that is that it creates an overall perception, and it raises questions about safety."
The once-high-flying restaurant chain has been hit with two separate outbreaks of E. coli over the past three months. The larger one sickened 52 people in October, mostly in Washington and Oregon, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A separate outbreak in November sickened five people in Kansas, North Dakota and Oklahoma, the agency said.
In December, scores of students at Boston College fell ill after eating at a nearby Chipotle, an outbreak the company said was due to a norovirus, which causes vomiting, nausea and diarrhea.
And in August, a salmonella outbreak in Minnesota sickened 64 people who had eaten at Chipotle. The state's Department of Health later linked the illness to tomatoes served at the chain.
Founded in Colorado more than two decades ago, Chipotle has enjoyed rapid growth by positioning itself as a healthy, fresh alternative to traditional fast-food chains, a company that serves "food with integrity."
"To eat at Chipotle was sort of the ethically and ecologically right thing to do, which resonated with a great deal of customers," says Andrew Alvarez, an analyst at IBISWorld, a market research firm.
The multiple outbreaks of foodborne illnesses have struck at the very heart of that image, says John Stanton, professor of food marketing at St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia.
"They've kind of positioned themselves as a special company that caters to the fresh and delicious product, etc., and they've let people down. And when you let people down, they take that pretty seriously," Stanton tells us.
The bad publicity has taken a toll on the bottom line at the company, which has warned that its sales fell in the last quarter of 2015. Once a darling of Wall Street, Chipotle's stock fell 30 percent last year, and the company says its sales have fallen by as much as 11 percent.
Chipotle has responded by promising to become an "industry leader in food safety." A press release promised more stringent testing of produce, better training of employees and "continuous improvements throughout its supply chain, using data from test results to enhance the ability to measure the performance of its vendors and suppliers."
The company's founder and CEO, Steve Ells, also apologized for the outbreaks in a Dec. 10 interview on NBC's Today show:
"It was a very unfortunate incident, and I'm deeply sorry this has happened, but the procedures we're putting in place today are so above industry norms that we are going to be the safest place to eat."
But a message of contrition could be hard to sell to customers, Stanton says.
"I mean, my first question, as soon as they said that, was why didn't they do that originally? I mean, they obviously weren't doing all they could to make their products safe, and they're now paying a price for it," he says.
Northwestern's Calkins says companies can eventually recover from public relations disasters such as this one. Chipotle first has to discover the source of the recent outbreaks, he says.
Once it does, Calkins says, "they need to get out there and get people feeling good. They've got to invest a lot in advertising, so that when people think about Chipotle, they're not thinking about food safety. They're thinking about that great brand, and the food they love so much."
Calkins says other companies, such as Toyota, have come back from big public relations disasters, so it is possible. But he says it will take time for Chipotle to crawl out of the hole it has stumbled into.

Level 4: Las Vegas
Level 5: Your current page is On the road from Las Vegas
On the road from Las Vegas
Few places on Earth are as entertaining as Las Vegas but it's worth setting aside a few days in your itinerary to get outta town. Why? Well, when you have the beauty of the Mojave Desert, the spookiness of Area 51, and the wonders of the mighty Grand Canyon on your doorstep, leaving city limits becomes its own temptation.
The Valley of Fire State Park
Head one hour northeast of Las Vegas and you'll come upon Valley of Fire State Park: the oldest state park in Nevada, and one of the most beautiful tracts of land in this western state. Its poetic name comes from the distinctively shaped red rock formulations that dot the landscape, and its other draws include everything from 3,000-year-old Native petroglyphs to desert wildlife like tortoises, lizards, and bighorn sheep.
A road trip through the Valley of Fire State Park
If you're a fan of all things supernatural, then a visit to Area 51 is a must. Several hours from Las Vegas, this mysterious stretch of barren desert has long been rumoured to be the site of extraterrestrial encounters and other secretive government programmes. While you can't enter Area 51 itself — it's still a protected military base — you can scope out the surrounding scenery, snap some photos, and stop at the kitschy, alien-themed establishments in the vicinity.
Searching for aliens in Area 51
The Grand Canyon hardly needs an introduction. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, and visited by upwards of six million people every year, it's one of the world's must-see landmarks. There's no wrong way to explore the Grand Canyon, though the charming, old-timey Grand Canyon Railway presents a wonderfully unique style of sightseeing.
Taking a ride on the Grand Canyon train
Though it's within day-trip distance from Las Vegas, Southern Utah is worth spending several days discovering. After all, it's home to some of the most remarkable scenery in North America, from the sandstone cliffs of Zion National Park to the wind-sculpted curves of Antelope Canyon to the vertiginous heights of Horseshoe Bend. An extra stop-off at Lake Powell, where you can paddle and kayak, is a worthy addition to your tour of the area.
Southern Utah and Lake Powell
Quirky Flagstaff, Arizona, is both a cosmopolitan college town and the entry point to a world of outdoor adventure: bordered by ski resorts and other spectacular scenery, it's worth visiting all year round. If you're driving down from Vegas, you'll also have the chance to motor along stretches of the iconic Old Route 66 as you go, for that extra dose of Americana.
Las Vegas to Flagstaff, Arizona
The Mojave Desert
It's easy to forget when you're drinking in the Strip's frenetic energy, but Las Vegas is actually located right in the middle of some rather spectacular Western scenery. Among the driest regions in North America, The Mojave Desert is home to sand dunes, rocky peaks, and spiky Joshua trees. Venture out to explore the one-of-a-kind scenery; if you're short on time, it's only a few miles to the Red Rock Canyon National Conversation Area west of the city.

Home > Documents > Enemies of Syria > A Syrian-Saudi man the mastermind behind the infiltration of over 6,000 terrorists from the European countries into Syria
A Syrian-Saudi man the mastermind behind the infiltration of over 6,000 terrorists from the European countries into Syria
The data was added on ,	29 May 2016 read 1.222 times.
New documents by a human rights watch disclosed that a Syrian-Saudi man has been the mastermind behind the infiltration of over 6,000 terrorists from the European countries into Syria.
"Tarrad Mohammad al-Jarba, originally a Syrian who later obtained Saudi nationality, has been an ISIL commander in charge of recruitment of fresh forces from the European countries and transferring them to the battlefields in Syria," documents by the watch said.
"Tarrad was in Saudi jails for at least four years. He further scaped the jail and went to Syria to join the ISIL," the documents went on to say.
Al-Watan paper, meantime, has claimed that al-Jarba is not the real family name of Tarrad.
Tarrad is the relative of Hareth al-Zari, the ex-secretary general of the Iraqi Muslim Ullema, who was killed in Jordan last year.
Daily Telegraph also had previously found out that the 36-year-old al-Jarba's real name, who used in many cases the family name of al-Haraki, was Abu Mohammad al-Shamali.
The Telegraph added that al-Shamali was responsible of transferring over 6,000 terrorists, one third of the total number of non-Syrian terrorists, into Syria in two years of 2013 until 2015.
The Telegraph went on to say that the family names of al-Jarba and al-Haraki can be seen on the top of recruitment forms of fresh forces heading to Syria battlefields.
Syrian Information Minister Omran al-Zoubi informed earlier this month that thousands of terrorists crossed the border into his country in early May or the last day of April.
"Around 6,000 terrorists have crossed the border and entered Syrian territories in recent days," al-Zoubi said.
Late in April, Syrian Prime Minister Wael Nader al-Halqi also warned that more than 5,000 fresh militants crossed the border into the Northwestern provinces of Aleppo and Idlib from Turkey, stressing that the ceasefire agreement was being violated by certain parties.
"In the end we see that Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Qatar, as well as Western countries such as Great Britain and France have no real desire to move the process of the political settlement in Syria forward," al-Halqi said.
The Syrian prime minister stressed that it's "just the opposite, they are aiding in the escalation of terrorist activity and arming terrorists. Over the last week, more than 5,000 troops crossed the border with Turkey into the provinces of Aleppo and Idlib."

A blanket fit for a princess!
So what is this rolled up blanket and how could it be fit for a princess?
Well, let's unroll it and find out!
Taa daa ...I bet you weren't expecting that!
A full on princess crocheted into a blanket and yes, it is for my lil Laney cos she is my princess!
I've been eyeing the pattern off for a year or two but finally succumbed to temptation and hooked it up as a present for Laney this coming Christmas.
I'm now thinking that next blanket, that I'll use either this stunning colour palette or some of these soft squishy colours.
Ok, so I know you are busting to make one now so pop over here for the pattern but I must tell you that I struggled with the pattern in some places. The pattern was lacking 'help' ie that much needed picture to show exactly what the designer meant by their instructions. Seriously, this blanket had me scratching my head in a few places BUT I am happy that I made it and I love the result, I have a couple of their other designs and found them much easier to work.
Now, next up for me ..hmm, I can't decide between the cute Foxes blanket, Sugar Glider Hooded blanket or the Indian Summer blanket patterns!

Adrian Peterson Fails to Break Eric Dickerson's Single-Season Rushing Record
Tim Daniels@TimDanielsBRTwitter LogoFeatured ColumnistDecember 31, 2012
Bob Levey/Getty Images
Adrian Peterson put together one of the most dominant stretches by a running back in NFL history, but it still wasn't enough for the Minnesota Vikings superstar to break Eric Dickerson's record. The single-season rushing mark of 2,105 yards will stand for another season.
Peterson ended up just nine yards short of the mark, rushing for 199 yards on the day in Minnesota's 37-34 victory over Green Bay, and 2,097 on the season.
It was a valiant effort by Peterson, who carried the Vikings offense on his back for the second half of the regular season as quarterback Christian Ponder's struggles continued. He had a stretch of eight straight games of 100 yards at one point.
In today's NFL, where high-powered passing attacks reign supreme and true No. 1 backs are fading away, Peterson's accomplishments are all the more astonishing, even without the rushing record. Without him, the Vikings would have crashed and burned.
Every week, opposing defenses would stack eight or nine players in the box to dare the Vikings to pass against single coverage. Instead, they continued to hand off to Peterson and he found ways to create something out of nothing.
There are only a handful of playmakers in the league capable of changing the complexion of a game all by themselves, and Peterson is definitely one of them.
As if his terrific season needed another layer of remarkableness, he was able to do it all despite suffering a serious knee injury—tearing both his ACL and MCL—last season. He fought all the way back in time for Week 1 and turned in one of the best single-season performances ever.
Although he wasn't able to eclipse Dickerson's record, Peterson's numbers are still good enough to put him in strong contention for the MVP and Comeback Player of the Year awards. Peyton Manning will challenge him in both categories.
As for now, Dickerson remains the rushing king.

Q: Captive portal : external splash page specs? Captive portals - like in restaurants, hostels, airports, ... - are detected by OSes. When detected, OS displays a browser-like windows (~popup). (Generally in order to ask for authentification, login, credits, or simply displaying conditions or warning).
I simply wonder what are the specification of such a "splash page". Example : iOS detects a captive portal, allright, it looks for the splash page, but where does iOS find it ?

A: There is no specs anywhere.
I phoned Apple and got nothing more.
I decompiled CNA.app and got nothing interesting.
I digged the Console and got some infos.
Absolutely opaque.

Prince Hall Masonic Temple in South Providence will look far and wide for help rebuilding
Donita Naylor
The Providence Journal
PROVIDENCE — Christmas Day for Clarence R. Snead Jr. began at 7 a.m. when a phone call woke him at his home in Cumberland "telling me the Masonic temple was on fire."
Snead, 58, and his wife, Denese, drove to 883 Eddy St., Providence, where the Prince Hall Masonic Temple was still engulfed in flames despite heavy rain. He learned from an investigator that the fire started around 4:30 or 5 a.m. and was out of control before anyone noticed. The two-story wooden structure was built in 1920, although the Masons didn't acquire it until 1966.
No one was inside. "They're not quite sure what happened," said Snead, who is called the Most Worshipful Grand Master formally and Grand informally. He is the overseer of the Prince Hall lodges (men) and chapters (women) in the jurisdiction of Rhode Island.
Until recently, the Providence area NAACP had its offices in the building.
The Acacia Club, a venue for drinks and live jazz in the basement, was destroyed when the main LeCount Hall floor collapsed into it, Snead reported after viewing the destruction.
"I'm devastated," he said Sunday. The community relied on that building, which was available to rent for weddings and other private occasions from baby showers to post-funeral collations. Charitable events were held there, as were voter-registration drives, fundraisers and the annual holiday party for distributing toys, food, clothes and other gifts to hundreds of families.
This year, COVID restrictions reorganized the holiday party into a drive-through operation, Snead said. Two days before Christmas, cars lined up on Sayles Street from Eddy to as far as Broad Street and crept toward the temple. As each car reached the front of the line, volunteers in masks and gloves would ask for the number of children and their ages, then disappear into the lodge to "shop" from the piles of toys, clothes and electric blankets. More volunteers would load the car with donated food.
Snead, who joined the Rhode Island State Police in 1986, worked as a road trooper, did commercial enforcement for 11 years and retired in 2011 as a prosecutor. Now he owns dump trucks and a hauling business.
He lists the tasks ahead: meet with the company that boarded up the temple's charred shell, hear from fire investigators how the fire started, discuss with his Cabinet how they envision rebuilding, learn how much the insurance company will compensate them.
Prince Hall lodges are named for the freeborn Black man who lived in Boston from about 1735 to 1807 and who founded the first lodge in Boston for Black Masons after the white Masons denied them full membership. Hall, an abolitionist, advocated for Black people having the same rights as whites and for the government to provide an education to Black children.
Prince Hall is regarded as the founder of Black freemasonry, and his name denotes a Black Masonic group. The Providence lodge was the second that Prince Hall founded, with a charter he was granted from the freemasons in England. Prince Hall lodges are the oldest Black fraternal organization in the country.
Snead said Black and white masons get along well today. "We have friendship and brotherhood between our two organizations. We support one another." After the fire, they reached out, he said.
Snead is used to asking for help but it was always for others. "We've been doing community charity work for a long time," he said.
Now he'll seek help for his own organization from the R.I. Masons, the state, city and surrounding communities, Masons across the country, plus donor groups such as the Rhode Island Foundation and United Way, "so we can continue giving."
"It's very unfortunate that this has happened," he said. But it will allow the organization, which owns the lots around it, to build a "bigger, more modern" facility, perhaps all on one level or with an elevator.
He wanted to thank the firefighters and police officers "for doing the best job they could do. Thank God there was no one in the building, and the fire didn't spread."
He said Monday that the calls offering help are giving him strength. Suddenly, he has a challenging project for 2021.

Accessing Employee Self Service: Intranet or Internet?
A company can provide access to employee self service in two ways, via intranet or Intranet. With a corporate intranet, employees access the self service features from computers connected to a computer network within the company. Access from the "outside" world is not permitted. Concerns about intruders (commonly known as hackers) are diminished. Employees with desktop or laptop computers can use self service at their desks. In companies where employees do not have computers, computer kiosks can be set up in convenient locations and shared by employees.
If a company chooses to open access via the Internet, employees can access self service from anywhere in the world by using a computer, a browser and a phone line connection to the Internet. Companies with employees geographically dispersed in one country or in many countries find this to be an economical way to communicate with their employees. Typically, these companies use a "firewall" to prevent intruders from accessing the rest of the computer network. When establishing access via the Internet, many companies also implement security protocols such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to encrypt and protect confidential data.
Regardless of whether employees access self service via a corporate intranet or the Internet, the benefits are the same. The benefits of implementing employee self service fall into three categories: cost savings, cost avoidance, and revenue generation. In terms of cost savings, the primary gain is in reduced costs for delivering human resource and payroll services to employees. When employees have access to self service, they are able to answer many questions independently, thus lowering the number of phone calls to the HR and payroll departments. When employees and managers are able to update information online, less money is spent on paper forms. Because employee information is captured electronically and sent to the appropriate approver or database, less time is spent processing employee transactions. There is no rekeying of data from paper forms.
A prime example of hard savings is demonstrated by the move to electronic pay statements where employees no longer receive paper direct deposit advice statements. At companies such as Southern California Edison, employees can view and print their pay statements via self service as soon as the payroll has been posted. Not only do these companies cut out the time and cost of printing direct deposit advice statements, they also say goodbye to stuffing and mailing envelopes with the attendant postage costs. Employees have quicker access to their pay statements and do not need to worry about losing the document. By using self service, they can print a new pay statement on demand.
In the area of cost avoidance, HR departments can provide satisfactory service to more employees without increasing department headcount. Self service is speedier than interoffice or US mail. The potential to update information online is key. Who better than the employee to update his or her personal data correctly? HR managers can rest easier knowing the information in their databases will have a higher degree of accuracy than ever before. When managers can submit new hires, salary increases, and performance reviews and have them routed automatically to the appropriate HR manager for approval, transactions are processed faster than paper-based systems.
A third area of benefits to consider is revenue generation. Companies are beginning to establish their employee self service systems as a portal, or doorway, to other products and services. For example, a company might sign up with amazon.com and place a link to amazon.com on their ESS web site. Whenever an employee "clicks through" to amazon.com and purchases a book, the company would receive a small percentage of the price.
Finally, employee and manager self service results in a key benefit for the HR department. For years, HR managers have expressed the desire to play a strategic role in corporate operations but have been bogged down by compliance and clerical work.

With the 2015-16 season about two months away, there's some news and some rumors about players, reported by The Boston Hockey Blog. A few weeks after 2015 recruit class member Sean MacTavish told The Pipeline Show that the BU coaches were helping him find another situation, the former AJHL standout has now committed to Alaska-Anchorage. The other news is less definite. JJ Piccinich had been rumored to be returning to the USHL for next season and then heading back to BU. Now, other reports indicates he will—or has—signed with OHL London. Ryan Cloonan, a speedy, high-scoring wing for the Boston Junior Bruins, who had been tabbed for BU's 2016 class, now may move up to the 2015 class, replacing MacTavish. We'll update this story when more is known.
A pair of former Terrier teammates, who spent last season with Vancouver, Nick Bonino and Adam Clendening, were traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins. The pair joins David Warsofsky, a recent free-agent signee, on the Pittsburgh roster. Bonino, a 50-point scorer on BU's 2009 national championship team, spent the first five years of his NHL career with Anaheim before being traded to Vancouver last summer. (Bonino stats).
The Penguins also have a BU presence in the front office. Former Terrier captain Mike Sullivan was named this summer as head coach of AHL affiliate Wilkes Barre/Scranton, succeeding John Hynes who took over the top job with the New Jersey Devils. In addition, Clark Donatelli will begin his fifth season with ECHL affiliate Wheeling. Terrier goalie Sean Maguire is a Penguins draft pick and participated in the team's recent development camp.
New contracts were announced for two BU standouts now in the NHL. Following a season that saw Colin Wilson rack up career highs in goals (20), points (42) and plus/minus (+19), Nashville rewarded the former Terrier All-American and Hobey Baker Award finalist with a four-year, $15.75 million contract. Wilson scored 90 points in two seasons as a Terrier, including 55 as a member of the 2009 national championship team.
Former BU MVP Alex Chiasson was awarded a one-year, $1.2 milllion contract with Ottawa by the NHL Arbitrators. Chiasson, who had been acquired last summer from the Dallas Stars, scored 26 points last season for the Senators. He'll be joined in training camp by BU goalie Matt O'Connor, who signed a multi-season, free agent deal with Ottawa, shortly after the end of last season.
Ryan Ruikka, an assistant captain for BU's 2012-13 squad, has signed a free-agent contract with the ECHL Wichita Thunder. He spent the past two seasons playing overseas.
When a Bayonne, NJ, high school goalie lost all his equipment during a fire at his family's home, the NJ Devils and new head coach John Hynes stepped up to keep the young netminder's ice dreams alive.

Successful Mali raid raises questions about SA hostage
Liesl Louw-Vaudran
Stephen McGowan has been held hostage in Mali since 2011. This picture was taken shortly before he was abducted.
South African officials in Mali have been meeting Malian military commanders twice a month for the past three years to discuss the possible whereabouts of Johannesburg hostage Stephen McGowan.
A source in the capital Bamako confirmed that South Africa has been involved with McGowan's case since he was captured by al-Qaeda militants in Timbuktu on November 25 2011. On Monday, French Special Forces in northeastern Mali released one of his fellow hostages. But McGowan was not with him as was previously thought and is still being held hostage.
His family has been told by the department of international relations and co-operation to keep a low profile due to the sensitivity of the case.
McGowan's father, Malcolm McGowan, has told the Mail & Guardian he believes that more than three years down the line it is time to explore all possible avenues to speed up efforts for his son's release.
Last month he appealed to Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa to try to intervene.
While Ramaphosa was at the inauguration of Mauritania's President Mohammed Abdelaziz in August last year, the French military handed him proof that McGowan was alive, which was shown to his family. Mauritania is Mali's neighbour.
Ramaphosa's spokesperson, Ronnie Mamoepa, was asked if the deputy president had made any progress, but he did not respond to the question.
Local media in the Netherlands this week criticised the Dutch government for not doing enough to try to find the hostages, following the liberation of Sjaak Rijke, who was with McGowan and a Swede, Johan Gustafson, in Timbuktu when they were captured.
Rijke was freed on Monday morning in a pre-dawn attack on a house in a small town near Tessalit, near the border with Algeria. McGowan and Gustafson were not with him when the French forces attacked and killed two Islamists.
"The Netherlands wasn't aware of where Sjaak Rijke was and neither did it gather any useful information about his whereabouts," the Dutch newspaper de Volkskrant said on Wednesday.
The Netherlands has peacekeepers in Mali as part of the United Nations mission in the country, but they were not stationed anywhere near the area where Rijke was freed and they did not co-operate with the French military in this case, according to the Dutch media.
McGowan is often referred to in the international media as British. "He had a two month-old British passport with him, which complicated things," said the source in Bamako.
McGowan was on a trip through Africa after working for a few years in Britain, and his South African passport was on his motorbike. After he was captured, it and his other belongings were sent home.
The vast desert area was occupied by Islamist groups for several months in 2012 following a coup d'etat in March of that year. France launched a military operation in January 2013 to drive the Islamist armed groups out of the area.
UN peacekeepers, made up of mostly African soldiers, are now deployed to try to safeguard the area, alongside France's Operation Barkhane, which consists of 3?000 troops.
But it is still not safe. Several incidents have claimed the lives of peacekeepers and civilians in the north of the country and in the Gao region in the northeast since the beginning of the year.
In February, ambassadors from the African Union Peace and Security Council and the European Union were unable to leave the airport during a visit to Gao because of insecurity in the town.
Sketchy details
Details of Rijke's liberation are still sketchy, although French President François Hollande has said the aim of the raid was not to free a hostage. He told the media France wasn't aware of Rijke's whereabouts.
Later, a French military commander said the Special Forces were aware that a very important person was being held in the house that they attacked, but it could have been a high-ranking militant leader.
This is the first time a hostage has been rescued by the French military. Other hostages have been released after a ransom was paid or high-profile al-Qaeda prisoners were exchanged.
The last French hostage in Mali to be released, Serge Lazarevic, was seen in a video in November 2014 alongside Rijke. Lazarevic was released in December last year.
Several other videos were also made by the hostage takers, which included McGowan and Gustafson.

Many small companies, especially in rural areas, have long complained that slow broadband speeds are holding back their business, preventing them from expanding and creating new jobs.
Now businesses throughout the UK are being urged to apply for a £2500 voucher for gigabit broadband speeds before the scheme closes due to high demand.
The Government's Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme has already helped more than 7000 UK businesses and surrounding homes, who have used the vouchers to contribute to (and in many cases fully fund) the installation cost of a full fibre gigabit capable connection.
The £67 million scheme was initially expected to run until March 2021, but high demand for vouchers means that funds are now expected to be committed a year earlier, and perhaps even sooner if the current success of the scheme continues to grow. To date, demand for the scheme has been strongest in the South West, followed by the South East, Yorkshire and the North West.
"To ensure as many businesses and homes benefit, the maximum value of the voucher will be reduced from the current £3000 to £2500 in a move that will encourage neighbouring businesses to "pool" their vouchers.
DCMS will be carefully monitoring take-up following this change to the scheme rules to determine whether there are locations in which a higher voucher value would be justified.
The Borderlands, Cornwall, and Welsh valleys will be amongst the first areas to be targeted.
FSB National Chairman Mike Cherry yesterday said: "Access to good broadband is vital for small businesses across the UK, and with the clock ticking on this scheme, it's important small businesses don't delay if they want to apply for funding.


Sash window sill replacement is a great way of saving money on costly replacement and can even be done by an advanced DIY enthusiast or carpenter with the right guide, showing all the good things to do, and bad to avoid. In this article I will break down piece by piece how you can repair your own sash window sill, and if you decide it's a little too much work, you are always welcome to contact London Sash Window Repairs Ltd, and we will be glad to help you. Sash window sill replacement is, in broader terms, classified as a sash window repair. So you'll need a normal sash window repair tool kit. I'll go into this in detail shortly, as well as the material requirement, and if you are in London, exactly where to purchase materials, the same way professionals do, and at the same prices.
2. Cut sill through middle.
3. Cut out and remove pulley stile(Jamb) and Front/Inner Cheek.
5. Cut sill section to length and replicate the front cheek, and pulley stile.
6. Offer in sill section and cut profiles to length.
7. Attach Nosing and make good with epoxy two part resin.
8. Making good, sealing, and priming – ready for decoration.
Your probably wondering why I would give away the very information I use to make a living? The first reason, by showing you sash window sill replacement, if you decide not to do so yourself, you'll know you can rely on us to do it for you.
Secondly, it's actually very straight forward. London Sash Window Repairs Ltd simply could not replace every sill and I firmly believe in being self sufficient, so if there's a chance to help that, I will and you should always try to repair your sash windows before replacing, this is a great way to spread that message, plus the benefit to the environment of looking after your sash windows is clear. There are around 3.5 million homes in London. It's reasonable to guess half have wooden or sash windows, it's probably higher. The total number of windows in a home we could take a real guess and say ten, it's probably much more, so let's take a wild stab and say we've got 17.5 million windows to work with. Now each window needs servicing every fifteen years with the quality of sash window draught proofing and overhaul available today, that means every year there are 1.75 million windows in London that need a service. This doesn't even begin to consider that maintenance not carried out, this will result in sash window refurbishment being required as well. So since just covering the service of windows alone in London, we would need to get through 35,000 windows a week, it's pretty fair to say there's more than enough windows! So let's get back to our sash window sill replacement guide.
– Router and 8-10 mm straight flute cutter.
– Electric planer, hand is ok but you'll then need a skill saw as well, or strong, tired arms follow.
– Optionally a small, wide lever bar.
– Good chisel, sharp, about 1 inch is ideal.
– Window sill 6' by 3', don't let the builders yard give you 6' by 2', totally the wrong section, that's for wooden casement window repairs, and replacement. Here's a cross section of the sill you need, so you don't get it wrong.
Sash window sill replacement cross section 6′ by 3′.
– 5' by 1' for the front cheek and pulley stile.
– 70 mm wood screws.
– Two part epoxy filler.
Sash window sill replacement part one -removing wooden sill section.
The first part of the job is to dust sheet properly to avoid any damage to your property. I cover very comprehensively the merits of dust sheeting properly in the article highlighted. You don't want to make a problem fixing a problem, that's no net gain.
Removing the sill section is quite straight forward, but you'll need to be as careful as possible to not disturb or damage the surrounding plasterwork. Before doing anything, measure the staff bead from one end to the other and make a note of this measurement. As you remove the sill, you'll move the frame, you want to put everything back together as if original.
Remove the internal nosing first, you'll be re-using that so needs to come off in one clean, undamaged piece. If you're unsure what that is, please take a look at the image below which has already had the nosing removed, it's the trim that protrudes from the sill section itself and in the example you can see flakey paint where it was connected to the architrave. Start with your wrecking chisel at one end of the frame right next to the architrave, and gently work your way along. The nosing may be attached with planking nails (Rosehead), and will need a good amount of leverage. This is where a flat lever bar comes in really handy, controlled pressure considerably reduces the likelihood of damage to internal plaster.
Removing the sash window sill and pulley stile/front cheek.
As you can see from the large chunky flakes of paint on the inner side of the sill, this is going to leave you nosing looking a little rough. We will use a belt sander to feather in the layers of paint prior to attachment. You don't need to do this but it'll make a nice finish when nosing does eventually get re-attached.
Cut through the sill somewhere close to the middle, you can just about make this out in the image above, we will fold the sill section up and outwards eventually, imploding the window sill on itself, to cause minimal damage. Cut through the pulley style at a 45 degree angle, this will be removed prior to removing the sill, as it'll make the job easier. Make the cut somewhere between the pocket space as this is the only point of easy access for your saw.
With your wrecking chisel remove the pulley stile you just cut. You'll need to use your chisel to free it from the front and back cheek. In the example above, you'll need to replace the front cheek as well as the pulley stile. You can see that it's rotted away entirely on the front edge. In the image below you can see pulley stile removed as well as front cheek that's been cut away ready for a splice. Note, this is quite a fiddly job and requires a good bit of effort, and there's possibility you'll blunt your handsaw if you are not careful with the brickwork. You should be keeping the removed pulley stile and front cheek as you'll need to make those from your 5′ by 1′ you previously purchased and using the old ones as template when working on the bench is very handy, and saves measuring in the frame.
Splicing sash window sill outer linings that are rotten, and pulley stile removed.
As you can see from the picture above. This job can make a mess, and the dust sheeting is very important as I always mention. If you have wires that are randomly placed on top of the sill, then this is the perfect time to send them through the box, or even wall as you now have reasonable access.
Now your sill can be removed. The sill should still have mechanical fixings in the front and inner cheek, you'll need to free them with your wrecking chisel, sometimes I'll attempt to cut through these nails just so the box doesn't need to be opened up too much.
For the sill to be housed in properly, you need to allow an additional 5 inches in length overall. You'll cut out the sill section so that the pulley stile can be housed inside, as well as cutting out for the front and back of the sill. If you cut your sill directly to the length you measured above. You'll end up doing a job called 'cut and shut'. I notice it's become popular because of resin being able to bond the frame to the sill, I however, prefer to do the job properly if the client will pay the extra(they get a proper job after all), and so I am going to show you how to house the sill properly. The easiest way to start housing your sill, is to make the first cuts, the length you measured for the staff bead. Let's imagine your sill is 36', your overall sill section would be 41' long. You'll allow 2.5' either end and make a cut. Then you can make another cut 25mm, closer to the edge of the timber each end. This cut is to house the pulley stile, you should only cut leaving half way, or so, leaving a depth of more than an inch, or the ends holding it all together won't be strong. This part is the most technical and easiest to get wrong. To explain this as clearly as possible please take a look at this sill section already notched out that I computer generated to make this process clear.
This illustration shows far more clearly than any real picture, what you are trying to achieve. Once the sill is cut you need to replicate the pulley stile and front cheeks that you previously removed. This is far easier than the sill you previously notched out, just take your time measuring and cutting. You'll need your router with an 8mm or 10mm straight flute cutter to make the groove for the parting bead, and use a planner to take the width down. You bought 5′ by 1′, most normal pulley stile widths are slightly less than this, but wider than 4′ by 1′. For the front cheek you'll need a skill saw, or table saw. You can cut it down by hand, the front cheeks are normally around 3′, so you could even use your electric planer as that's going to be a lot quicker than a hand saw, you'll make a fair bit of mulch for the garden too!
Once the timber profiles are made you will offer in the sill, and then measure the front cheek which you can now cut to length. Notice we put the window back together, in exactly the opposite order we took it apart. With the front cheeks firmly glued and screwed, you'll now offer in your pulley stile. You'll see you need to also cut the pulley stile so that the pocket can sit back in it's original place nicely. Sash window sill replacement is a time consuming job if it's new to you, so just steadily, make your marks, and make the cuts one by one. Rushing this stage, means doing again. Once you've offered in your pocket and all fits together nicely, begin countersinking and screwing all the timber together.This is where your size 3.5 40mm wood screws are used. If you've notched out well, you won't need to fix the pocket, it shouldn't be either, as it's the weight access. Now fill the heads with the epoxy two part. If it's all gone well you will have a window that looks like this now.
Ironically, after talking about how the pocket should sit, in this example the window was made with 45 degree pockets – I've removed the pocket so you can see there is no step. This really isn't ideal because it allows the pocket to slip, but that said, your pocket should still be fine if you've made a nice job of it, and worse case is you pilot and screw from the inner cheek. It's not the perfect job, but I don't think you'll lose any sleep over it.
At this stage you will attach the nosing, by countersinking and screwing, and then filling. This is where you'll make use of the 70mm screws noted in materials required. The above image has a window ledge and is slightly different in orientation to the image provided below which is completed.
Sash window sill replaced, this is the result of after, to the very first image.
Now that the sill is back in and sealed it's ready for decoration and pointing externally. If you look closely we even used the original staff bead. If you've cut and measured everything to length accurately this will cause no problem at all.
To finish up the window well you'll need a decorators caulk, silicone, and some primer. Make sure to seal well externally as you'll leave your home exposed to the elements. A silicone sealant is ideal. Once completed, your window should look a little bit like the example below.
Sash window sill repaired and ready for decoration.
You notice in this sash window sill replacement example above, the sill, pulley stile, and front cheek was replaced. This sash window sill replacement costs around £180 in softwood and is far more viable than entire replacement. There's a lot of work to do in order to replace a sill correctly, however done properly your sash window sill, assuming you maintain and decorate correctly, will last you a lifetime. You'll also protect the value of your home if you maintain your sash windows correctly.
Once you have done the job properly it's time to decorate your sash window sills and the front of your property. I highly recommend you take a look at this beautiful example with roses climbing up the sash windows and walls. Interestingly it should be noted that this might cause damp areas. Please be sure to keep any foliage that falls clear of the windows. Decaying leaves are the perfect setting for more rotten sills unfortunately!
If you decide to go with inferior filling by contrast is a job you'll do every three to five years. It's simply because of the different movement points of both materials when in direct contact with sunlight for prolonged periods. If you've got this far you now might consider draught proofing your sash windows. Quality draught proofing, or even a DIY version will save you money on heating as well as make the home more comfortable. The final step in uprating your sash windows will be to double glaze them. This will reduce energy bills and lower carbon footprints. If you'd like to learn more about carbon footprints and double glazing please take a look at the link provided. You can really save energy with sash windows. We will be glad to show you how. In the next article I will be looking at how to decorate your sash windows properly. It's becoming increasingly expensive, even more so than an overhaul and draught proof.
