Curbs must be protected against loss of moisture, from rain damage, from traffic, and from extreme hot or cold temperatures. ACI 308, Standard Practice for Curing Concrete, is a valuable source of information on taking care of concrete after it has been placed.
DirecTV is cutting the cordâ¦ sort of. The satellite TV giant has launched the Wireless Genie Mini (WGM), a small video client that connects to DirecTVâs central Genie whole-home HD-DVR over a secure WiFi connection and is capable of supporting the full live TV lineup and access to content stored on the main DVR.
In addition to the DirecTV Genie HD-DVR, customers who want to take advantage of the WGM will also need DirecTV to install a Wireless Video Bridge. New Genie HD-DVR subs are also subject to a $99 wireless upgrade fee. DirecTV is supporting the wide release of the WGM with an ad campaign, including a video spot featuring a human-sized marionette to demonstrate the awkwardness of wires.
