Once you know the type, style and specifications, it is easy to identify which factor sells the windows you may want. Define which opening in your house will receive which type of window?ħ. Size, lighting amount, tempered vs annealed vs laminated, aluminum clad vs vinyl vs fiberglass, etc.Ħ. Each opening may have different requirements. Define your requirements of these windows and doors. Energy efficiency? Comfort? Adding warmth to interior? Maintaining architecture?ĥ. Define why you are shopping for new windows and doors. What is Low-E, what is double pane vs triple, what is SHGC, what is argon/krypton fill, etc.Ĥ. Learn all you can about current window technologies. Trust your own intelligence, believe you can learn.ģ. Take your time and be patient with the whole process. You did not state if you have done these, so if I am stating the obvious, forgive me just trying to help.ġ. The following is a sample of the steps we took to ensure the whole process ran smoothly. Shop for the brands, apply your knowledge as you shop to judge which shop is knowledgeable and willing to help vs. This is actually the easiest part once you have done 1 and 2 above. This is much much more important than deciding which brand.įinally, you can pick the brand. Armed with knowledge, you will be able to pick the right shop, the right contractor and the right type of windows. The second is knowing how to select the right window type for your applications, the right shop to buy them from and the right contractor to do the installation. This educational process prepares us for the second step. The more knowledgeable we are, the more control we can exert, the better our decisions will be, the happier we will be. Our own knowledge dictates how much we control the project. There are three things that combined to make windows+doors project a positive experience. The following are some of our experience feel free to skip. If this is boring you now :-), the three companies we have been happy with are Marvin, Milgard and Andersen. It just makes the whole process smoother and more enjoyable. A good dealer can be a good go-between if there are problems from ordering errors to warranty service and a good installer will remove installation failure as a problem. In the end, I would say finding a good dealer is key and finding a good installer is absolutely essential. ![]() SOme factories will indeed handle complaints quickly and honor their warranty swiftly while others may drag on. Too often, bad installation and poor customer service by independent dealers and shops are the causes of much of our angst, not the factory. While a dealer in NYC may be wonderful to deal with for a specific brand, a dealer in CA selling the same brand may receive a ton of complaints. Identifying a manufacturer is easy enough but unfortunately, each distributes its product differently and there can be different layers between the factory and the consumers. I wish it were that simple when we researched our windows.

![]() If you get gel overlays, you’ll be pleased to know that they last quite a long time! They can usually last for 2-4 weeks, but that would depend on how they are applied and how you take care of them.Īs compared to traditional nail polishes and gel polishes, gel overlays will typically last longer. Gel polishes are more durable and long-lasting than regular polishes, but they are considered to be soft gels.Ī gel overlay process typically uses hard gel. If you ask most nail technicians, applying gel polishes over the natural nails may not be considered to be gel overlays. That is when nails are mostly damaged, due to improper removal.ĭifferentiating Gel Overlays From Gel Polish You should be extra careful in removing them. If you do your own gel overlays at home, make sure you first clean your table where you are going to do your nails.Īlso, make sure that your tools are clean - even if you are the only one that uses them.Īlthough you can do your own gel overlays at home, it may take some practice to do. The salon should be clean, and the tools regularly sanitized to avoid possible infection. It is important to maintain cleanliness during the application process. However, if gel overlays aren’t done correctly, there is a chance to develop a nail infection. As compared to extensions, they are less damaging and they appear more natural. Gel overlays help make the nails more durable so you can grow them out while still looking great. ![]() Regardless, using a gel overlay to the nails will help with both situations.

Gel overlays are great for those who want to grow out their brittle nails. ![]() The point is that there are no extensions involved, and the finish goes over the natural nail. This is the case for all overlay nails, whether they be gel, acrylic, or another type. Instead, the nail products are directly applied to natural nails and the length of your natural nails is retained. Overlays are different from extensions because there is no need to use plastic forms or tips on the nails. After attaching the extensions to natural nails, other nail products are applied on top for design and decoration. Most people are familiar with nail extensions, and we all know that these help add length to the nails. Gel overlays are different from extensions. The gel is directly applied to the natural nails.

Fly until the battery drops to 30-40 percent capacity, and then bring the drone back down. ![]() But when you’re flying in cold weather, completely draining the battery can be risky. Avoiding full throttle, especially during the first few minutes of your flight, and minimizing heavy control inputs will help extend the flight time.Īvoid draining the battery: Under normal weather conditions, maxing out the flight time and flying to a low battery level is common. Minimize heavy control inputs: Flying at high speeds or at full throttle requires a heavy current from the battery and can cause a sudden voltage drop. Before you head out the door, take a minute to verify that your batteries are fully charged. This maintenance feature helps extend the battery life, but if you haven’t flown for a few weeks it can be easy to forget that your batteries may no longer be at the levels you expect. Particularly for new Mini Users, most of this will be applicable to both Newbies and enthusiasts, hope it helps creat some awareness.Įnsure batteries are fully charged: Some drone batteries include technology that automatically discharges battery power after a certain period of inactivity. I have flown all my drones in snow and rain but not for long periods, lens gets full of rain drops and snow so filiming is no use, some good practice for flying in winter below.

Who Feels It Knows It made it clear that Rita Marley was a fine singer in her own right. Rita Marley met Bob Marley while working as a nurse in Kingston, Jamaica. But the fact is that she would have been a talented singer if she hadn’t been married to the King of Reggae. ![]() Of course, there were some reggae lovers who bought the album simply because Rita Marley was the wife of Bob Marley, who had died in 1981. Of course, there were some reggae lovers who bought the album simply because Rita Marley was the wife of Bob Marley, who had died in 1981. Lovers of pre-urban contemporary R&B can’t miss the parallels between Rastafarian oriented tunes like “Jah Jah Don’t Want,” “Good Morning, Jah” and “Thank You,” and the great soul music of the ’60s and ’70s. Meanwhile, the other gems on the album are also quite soulful. It’s hysterically funny and disturbing at the same time - the very thought of a school teacher doing such a thing is appalling. The most controversial part of the song comes when a Rastawoman school teacher educates her class of students on the “proper” way to smoke sinsemilla.

Rita Marley - One Draw: The Best Of Rita Marley. Fueled by the controversial single “One Draw,” Who Feels It Knows It was the album that truly put Rita Marley on the map as a solo artist. In La Rochelle she meets up with her younger brother, Frank (Leonard Schleicher, also excellent here), and is almost immediately and confusedly confronted with a life she didn’t know he was leading. On land, the story involves the arrival in La Rochelle of a French-speaking German woman, Simone Strasser (Vicky Krieps of 2017’s Phantom Thread, who is superb), a translator for the German military who has always felt out of place - growing up in the border town of Alsace, France, she’s German but not German enough for those who come from Berlin, etc., and also not French, despite her fluent language skills and living in France. Betz, along with director Andreas Prochaska, building tension on two fronts. If that wasn’t enough for the junior Hoffmann to undertake, he’s immediately undercut by his First Watch Officer, or second in command, Karl Tennstedt (August Wittgenstein, The Crown), who has far more experience and is more aggressively combat-oriented than the calmer, rule-following Hoffmann.Īfter a little table setting, Das Boot becomes immediately thrilling and addictive, with co-creators and writers Tony Saint and Johannes W. ![]() ![]() The German navy is ramping up production of U-boats as a tactical advantage - in later episodes there’s information that they are the most feared weapon by Winston Churchill - but at the same time Germany is losing a striking number of its fleet, whether to Allied depth charges or mechanical failure.ĭas Boot centers on newly minted captain Klaus Hoffmann (Rick Okon), whose father was a legendary German U-boat captain who wrote the most authoritative book on what it’s like to live underwater and win at sea. The series begins in the Germany-occupied port town of La Rochelle, France, in 1942 (roughly nine months after the film’s ending). What makes Das Boot particularly riveting, of course, is that so much of it takes place within the confines of a German U-boat (the vessel language before “submarine” was in use), with dangerous missions and pretty terrible conditions for the men in many cases, the U-boats themselves were untested (a feature in the original film, as well). ![]() Lizzy Caplan ( Castle Rock, Masters of Sex) and Vincent Kartheiser ( Mad Men) are Americans in the cast, but this is primarily a German effort with some French actors (and there are subtitles abounding, but mostly the actors are speaking English). It’s not critical to have seen the original movie (though fans of German cinema will undoubtedly tell you to go do it anyway), since this eight-part series picks up where that one ended, thus becoming more of a sequel while still relying on the two source books from author Lothar-Gunther Buchheim ( Das Boot, Die Festung). Last week, my two childhood friends and I were in Chicago for my holiday cookbook signing. Step 8 Add more Parmesan if you'd like, then serve the squash in small dishes or over a salad tossed in vinaigrette.Add those to the plate with the squash and toss to combine. Step 7 Toast the pine nuts in a skillet over medium-high heat, stirring frequently.Toss it quickly so that the cheese won't melt (it should only soften), then transfer the mixture to a plate. Step 6 Grate the Parmesan and sprinkle it over the squash.Remove the pan from the oven and set aside. Step 5 Bake for 20-25 minutes, then crank up the heat to 400 and continue roasting for 15 minutes or so, until the squash is sizzling and golden brown around the edges.Pour the squash onto a baking sheet and spread them into a single layer.

In 1836, they went on another unsuccessful strike when their housing rates were increased. In 1834, the mills cut wages by 25%, which led the girls to respond by staging an unsuccessful strike and organizing a labor union called the Factory Girls Association. Overproduction during the 1830s caused the price of finished cloth to drop and the mills' financial situation was exacerbated by a minor depression in 1834 and the Panic of 1837. ![]() Decline Įconomic instability in the 1830s as well as immigration greatly affected the Lowell mills in a negative effect. They were also encouraged to join “improvement circles” that promoted creative writing and public discussion. They attended free lectures by Ralph Waldo Emerson and John Quincy Adams and read books they borrowed from circulating libraries. In line with the Boston Associates' worldview, the mill girls were encouraged to educate themselves and pursue intellectual activities. Additionally, his tight rein on his employees "cultivated employee loyalty, kept wages low, and assured his stockholders accelerating profits". Indeed, hiring women made good business sense not only did women have experience weaving and spinning, they could be paid less than men, thereby increasing the profits of Lowell's Boston Manufacturing Company, and were "more easily controlled than men". Despite being "highly discriminatory and paternalistic compared to modern standards, it was seen as revolutionary in its day". In addition to working 80 hours a week, the women had to adhere to strict moral codes (enforced by the matrons) as well as attend religious services and educational classes. Additionally, Lowell devised a factory community: women were required to live in company-owned dormitories adjacent to the mill that were run by older women chaperones called "matrons". ![]() In order to persuade these young women to work at a mill, they were paid in cash once "every week or two weeks". Additionally, many Americans viewed the European factory system as "inherently corrupt and abusive". Unlike European industries, which had access to "large, landless, urban populations whose reliance on the wage system gave them few economic choices", American companies had to grapple with a small labor supply because the population was small and most preferred farming their own land and the economic independence that came with it. Lowell solved the problem of labor by employing young women (usually single) between the ages of 15 and 35, who became known as "mill girls". They were called "operatives" because they operated the looms and other machinery. Unlike the prevailing system of textile manufacturing at the time-the "Rhode Island System" established by Samuel Slater-Lowell decided to hire young women (usually single) between the ages of 15 and 35, who became known as " mill girls". The Boston Manufacturing Company built its first mill next to the Charles River in Waltham, Massachusetts, in 1814. This group of Boston-area merchants were "committed to the ideals of the original Protestant ethic and Republican simplicity" but were nevertheless "shrewd, far-sighted entrepreneurs who were quick to embrace.new investment opportunities". Īfter a trip to London in 1811 during which he memorized the design of power looms, Lowell founded the Boston Manufacturing Company in 1813 along with Nathan Appleton, Patrick Tracy Jackson, and the other so-called " Boston Associates". His vision relied on his "great faith in the people of New England" and employees "would be housed and fed by the company and remain employed only a few years rather than form a permanently downtrodden underclass". Philosophical context įrancis Cabot Lowell sought to create an efficient manufacturing process in the United States that was different than what he saw in Great Britain. The Lowell mills were 19th-century textile mills that operated in the city of Lowell, Massachusetts, which was named after Francis Cabot Lowell he introduced a new manufacturing system called the "Lowell system", also known as the " Waltham-Lowell system".
