What Size of External Oak Door Do I Need? Oak is an organic, natural and subjectively attractive building material that has been used to build front, rear and interior doors for hundreds of years. There is an unmistakable and unique quality to a solid oak door, which means that, even with their more lofty price tags, they are still the favoured choice of homeowners across the country. Before you spend hours searching for the right door, however, you might want to consider its size, as that last…
You asked the following question: “The pipe and tubing allowed by NFPA 13D says that as long as the material is listed in Tables 5.2.2 and 5.2.5, it is acceptable. PEX piping is not listed in either of the tables. However, the handbook lists a table in the annex as A.5.2.2(b). Does this indicate that PEX is allowed by NFPA 13D to use in any system configuration? As mentioned in the standard, a material may be specifically listed, however, if it is listed in the tables, it needs no listing.”…

“A squared plus b squared.” I blurted. “That’s the equation isn’t it?” I hid the book behind my back hoping Pythagoras wouldn’t see it. He narrowed his eyes at me. “What’s that behind your back?” Pythagoras’s brown hair was mussed like he hadn’t slept well and there were shadows under his green eyes. I suspected that he had woken from his “dream from the gods” and had stayed up pondering his options. Why would he have come to my house and arranged triangles from firewood? “It’s nothing.” I…
How did the British people see their empire at the end of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century? They saw the Empire evolving and even some devolving. For the people living in the British empire, during the turn of the century, Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee was a time of pride and yet a time of growing insecurity about the fate of the nation, because of the concerns with status as an economic power, a strong anti-imperial sentiment was growing, and the resistance in Ireland.…
The Moon has not always sat in the sky watching over the Earth and all its inhabitants. No. In fact the Moon used to wander the earth just like any creature or human does now - as did the Sun. This is the story of what she did before she sat up in the sky. This is the story of the Moon and her only friend. The Sun was loved by all. His heart was warm and his smile was bright. His hands were strong hands that as they touched the earth could make bright green plants sprout from even the driest…
This honestly has to be one of my favorite memes that came from the year 2015. This type of meme I would classify as a harmless one that had nothing to do with what was going on at the time. Before talking about what makes this picture a meme, I have to explain the different categories of memes. I like to divide them into separate categories: have some meaning and relevance, no meaning at all but some relevance, random picture that became famous. I would categories doge as a random picture that…

As a child I was unimaginably self conscious about my height. Looking back on it I think it might have been because people would always tell me I was blocking their view, and making me sound like a nuisance. I had pretty much always felt this way until 8th grade when my P.E. coach asked me if I had ever run track. As I walked into the echo filled gym that smelled of socks, and sweat I passed my 5ft tall P.E. teacher, Coach Atkinson, she unexpectedly took me aside and said what every person…
All of you have experienced unit of measure (UOM) issues in your location and as you know much time is spent correcting and explaining the problems. The other day a location outside our district created a $12,000,000 dollar difference, and as you can imagine several eyebrows were raised as the problem created a huge difference in the company numbers. The importance of UOM accuracy is critical when entering sales orders, creating purchase orders to vendors, and processing vendor invoices. All…
