Helpful Hints For Completing Your Home Improvement Projects











Home improvement is a fantastic way to spruce up an outdated d?cor or to give your home a new look. There are so many different options when it comes to home improvement while fitting almost anybody's budget. Painting, wallpaper or even just new curtains are a few examples that will give any home a fresh look for a minimal price.

Windows

To reduce the number of unwanted pests in your home, cut back shrubbery and plants that are close to the windows. These plants are great homes to insects and spiders. If they rub up against your house and windows, they can easily crawl inside to find a warm dry place. Cut back these bushes to a foot or more from the side of the house and under the windows.

Add shutters to the outside windows on your home for a dramatic change in architecture. If your exterior looks a bit drab or flat, you can use this simple tip to give it much more depth and interest. Paint them a coordinating color to your house, often the color of the front door.

Try installing some flower boxes outside your home. Try installing them in your windows or on the front porch railings. They are a relatively cheap home improvement project too. You have to buy soil and regularly maintain the flowers though. If these aren't for you, try buying gardens in pots and placing them on your porch or front steps.

Velfac Fenster can be very interesting information for you.

A great tip for home improvement is to inspect your windows and see if they need to be replaced. The key here is to make sure you are going to get enough value for what you pay for. If the windows just need some maintenance it is better to do that than replace because windows are a major investment.

Doors And Windows

Insulate your home in order to save energy and lower your heating and cooling bills. Check the attic, as well as windows and doors. Any leaky spots should be fixed. Weather stripping can be added to doors and windows and new insulation can be added to the attic. You want to keep air that you paid to heat or cool, inside the home.

When it comes to home improvement, consider replacing your windows and doors. This not only has a chance of greatly improving the value of the home, but may also severely decrease the amount of money required to keep your house warm and dry. You can also add extra security with new doors and windows.

Hunt down drafts in your house around your windows and doors, and seal them with insulation or weather-stripping to make your home more energy-efficient. On a breezy day, hold a lit candle or a stick of burning incense around the edges of your doors and windows -- with the drapes tied back away from the edges -- to easily spot drafty areas as the flame moves or the smoke wafts.

Be sure that your doors and windows have tight seals to keep out extreme temperatures and to insure the best air quality in your home. If the air coming into your home is filtered through your heating and cooling system, you will have less chances of contracting air-borne illness.

In conclusion, it can be quite easy and affordable to improve your home's appearance. If you are doing it yourself and only working on simple projects it will become obviously worth the little money spent. There are many options and styles available to suit everyone's needs. Who doesn't want to walk into their home and feel aesthetically refreshed?

Sifteo Cubes go next-generation, square gaming gets more portable ...

SIFTEO ANNOUNCES THE NEXT-GENERATION OF SIFTEO CUBES, THE AWARD-WINNING INTERACTIVE GAME SYSTEM

Enhanced core technology and A-list game partnerships define next-gen Sifteo Cubes for expanded, portable "Intelligent Play"


San Francisco, August 30, 2012 ? Sifteo, Inc. today announced the upcoming availability of its next-generation Sifteo Cubes interactive game system and A-list game partnerships. Sifteo Cubes are motion-aware 1.7-inch blocks with full-color touch-sensitive TFT LCDs. The cubes communicate wirelessly and respond to each others proximity and players' gestures during gameplay. The tactile nature of Sifteo Cubes combined with puzzle packed games deliver on Sifteo's promise of Intelligent Play ? a gaming experience that will get minds and hands moving. The next-generation Sifteo Cubes are completely portable and feature enhanced technology and deeper gameplay. They are available for pre-order today, and will begin shipping in November.

Sifteo Cubes: Now Portable and Enhanced
Play on the go! The new, ultra-compact Sifteo Base eliminates the need for a computer during gameplay and makes Sifteo Cubes truly portable. The Sifteo Base stores players' games, plays game audio with a built-in speaker, and wirelessly communicates with Sifteo Cubes.

"We're extremely proud of the original Sifteo Cubes product, and the next-generation Sifteo Cubes are the next step in Sifteo's mission to make classic play interactive," said Dave Merrill, President and co-founder, Sifteo. "Creating a completely portable system has been a top priority since we started Sifteo, and today we're incredibly excited to be achieving that goal and more."

Sifteo Cubes will ship with four game titles pre-installed and ready to play out of the box. Players can purchase additional games using Sifteo Sync, the Sifteo desktop software. Purchased games sync automatically when the Sifteo Base is plugged into the computer, then the base and cubes can be tossed into the included soft carrying case for play on the go. The Sifteo Base and Cubes run on AAA batteries.

The new Sifteo Cubes interactive game system also expands the number of cubes that can be in play up to 12 (original Sifteo Cubes support six). Adding additional cubes unlocks new levels, puzzles, and special characters, and allows the whole family to come together for hands-on play. Each player can maneuver a cube or two (or three, or more!), as they collaborate or compete to solve puzzles and explore worlds.

Sifteo Signs A-List Partners
Sifteo is thrilled to announce new partnerships with Nickelodeon, the number-one entertainment brand for kids, and game designer Richard Garfield, creator of the popular card game Magic: The Gathering.

Sifteo and Nickelodeon are developing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Ninja Slide for release this November. The new game is part of a four-game contract with Nickelodeon to develop titles
exclusively for Sifteo Cubes starring some of Nickelodeon's most popular characters.

"We're very excited to work with Sifteo to produce this brand-new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game where players can navigate their favorite Turtle on interactive missions," said Manuel Torres, senior vice president, global toys and consumer electronics at Nickelodeon. "Through Sifteo's innovative platform, we're able to create a state of the art gaming experience for fans looking to reconnect with this celebrated franchise."

"We think it's really fitting to be part of the team reinventing a classic franchise like the Turtles," said Jeevan Kalanithi, CEO and co-founder, Sifteo. "We are creating the conditions where the classic characters and play patterns from our childhoods can meet the technology of today."

Sifteo's partnership to create Ninja Slide is part of Nickelodeon's larger push to update the franchise since its $60 million acquisition in 2009. Nickelodeon is currently developing a new CGI-animated Turtles television series and will partner with Viacom company Paramount Pictures and director Michael Bay to bring a live action Turtles movie to theaters later next year.

Sifteo also has partnered with world-renowned game designer Richard Garfield to create a game set for release in early 2013.

"Sifteo Cubes is an innovative game system that truly combines the best of classic, tabletop gameplay with 21st century videogame technology, making it the ultimate platform for the type of games I'd like to create," said Garfield, 49. "I'm excited to partner with Sifteo and am enjoying creating a game that I think will be as fun and engaging as Magic: The Gathering has been for many."

Sifteo SDK Invites Game Developers
Sifteo is also announcing a new software development kit (SDK) available October 1st, giving all developers the opportunity to create interactive games and applications for their Sifteo Cubes. Studios, individual game designers, hobbyist developers and tinkerers of all types will enjoy Sifteo's unique platform, clean application programming interface (API), cycle-accurate simulator and world-class build toolchain to bring their ideas to life. Sifteo is encouraging developers to visit sifteo.com/developers to get more information and find out how to apply to publish their Sifteo games.

Pricing and Availability
The Sifteo Cubes interactive game system includes three cubes, the Sifteo Base with speaker and USB port pre-loaded with four brand new titles that work right out of the box, a free download of a fifth game - Sandwich Kingdom, a micro USB cable, five AAA batteries, and a soft carrying case. Sifteo Cubes interactive game system, priced at $129.95, and Add-on Sifteo Cubes, priced at $29.95 each, are available for pre-order at Sifteo's website (www.sifteo.com), Amazon.com and ToysRUs.com, and will begin shipping to customers in November 2012. Also starting in November, next-generation Sifteo Cubes will be available in popular retail locations including Barnes & Noble, Toys "R" Us flagship locations, Marbles: The Brain Stores, and FAO Schwartz in New York City.

Sifteo Cubes: History of Innovation
The original Sifteo Cubes began as a project at the MIT Media Lab and were first introduced by Sifteo President Dave Merrill in a 2009 TED Talk that sparked the world's interest. The original Sifteo Cubes were released commercially in September 2011, and have since received numerous awards and distinctions including: Best in Show in the IxDA 2012 Interaction Awards; one of Fast Company's Top 10 Consumer Electronics Companies of 2012; Best Gadget/Product in the San Francisco Business Times 2012 Tech Innovation Awards; a silver medal in the 2011 International Design Excellence Awards; one of Business Insider's Best New Gadgets of 2011; a finalist in the Best New Gadget category in the 2011 Mashable Awards; winner of a CES Innovations Award in 2011 in the Gaming Hardware and Accessories category; and a Best of What's New - 2011 award from Popular Science. The popularity of the original Sifteo Cubes allowed the Sifteo team to pursue and fulfill their ultimate goal of offering a truly portable, interactive game system at an affordable price.

Liftport turns to Kickstarter for space elevator experiment (video)

Liftport turns to Kickstarter for space elevator experiment

Space elevators are slowly making the transition from science fiction to science fact... but we're not quite there yet. LiftPort, a group that already holds the record for tallest elevator, is taking a second stab at the technology after going into "hibernation" in 2007. Founder Michael Laine has resurrected the company and taken to Kickstarter to drum up interest (as well as a little cash) in his latest project -- a lunar elevator. As Laine explains in the video, an elevator from the surface of the Moon to a rendezvous point between the Earth and its satellite is actually possible using current technology. And, thanks to its low gravity and lack of atmosphere, a much simpler construction site. The first step is a $1 million feasibility study that will involve a two kilometer tall elevator here on Earth. LiftPort has already far exceeded its Kickstarter goal of $8,000, but the point was never to fund the entire project. The hope was to garner some media attention and get people involved and invested (both financially and emotionally) by offering rewards. You could even pledge enough money to base jump from the top of the tethered research tower, which will be held aloft by helium balloons. For more info check out the video after the break and hit up the source link to pledge your hard earned cash.

United suffers computer issues, delays widespread

United Airlines passengers faced delays and long lines after some of its major computer systems and its website failed Tuesday.

The glitch was another in a long string of technology problems that began when United merged computer systems with Continental's in March.

United acknowledged at least 200 delayed flights. Its passenger reservation system and website stopped working for about two-and-a-half hours on Tuesday afternoon, although the precise cause wasn't known.

The outage didn't affect planes in flight.

Passengers in several United hubs reported very long lines at ticket counters. During the outage it stopped sending planes to its hubs in Newark, N.J., and San Francisco.

Alex Belo was waiting at Newark to get on a flight to Mexico City. He considered himself lucky to be behind only 100 or so people waiting to check a bag ? because there were another 300 to 400 behind him.

"The line is not moving, or very slowly moving. And they're giving priority only to first class," he said.

United said it will not charge the usual change fees for passengers on affected flights who want to cancel or rebook their tickets. It apologized for the disruption.

Simon Duvall spent two hours sitting on his flight waiting for the computer problems to be resolved. People were calm but not happy, he said.

"We're on a plane, on the tarmac in Las Vegas in the middle of August. It's warm. It's uncomfortable. It's cramped," he said.

United Continental Holdings Inc. has been struggling with computer issues off and on since March, when it switched to using Continental's system for tracking passenger information. The two airlines merged in 2010.

Airlines rely on software to know who is filling the seats on its planes, and how many empty seats are available. Those computer systems make it possible to print boarding passes, too.

Rich Pearson, head of marketing at professional freelance site Elance, was stuck in Houston on his way to present at a jobs seminar at the Republican convention in Tampa, Fla.

Planes were lined up on the tarmac. "It's almost like horseback riding when they are all nose-to-butt," Pearson said. "It's like we've gone back 50 years."

"People are relatively calm," he added. "The customer service area was initially flooded. But they can't really do anything."

Home Improvement | Finding the Best Dallas Roofers for Your ...

The roofing of your house will greatly determine the kind of house you have. A good roof enhances the beauty and the strength of your house.

The roofing of your house will greatly determine the kind of house you have. A good roof enhances the beauty and the strength of your house. You will thus be able to improve on both qualities by getting the best Dallas roofers if you are to have a suitable house or commercial building. When finding the best Austin roofers you will consider several aspects. You will also have to do plenty of research to get the most appropriate contractor to do your housing project. The process of finding the best Dallas roofers can be tricky depending on the kind of roofing project you are engaged in. In finding such a company, you can follow the simple process outlined below.

First, you need to establish the companies that you can work with. You have to look at the business bureau and ask your relatives and friends. More appropriately, you should ask people with similar projects as yours, that is, similar design and shape and scale. Some Austin roofers have specialized in only one kind of roofing Dallas. This offers several advantages and disadvantages too. If they are specialized in the kind of roofing as similar as yours then you will get expert roofing Dallas. However, such Dallas roofers will not be very suitable to work on a diversified project. Having identified a number of Austin roofers, then you will have to move to the next step of getting the best amongst them.

Check from the company website or visit its official offices and see the portfolio. Looking at previous jobs will help you determine the level of experience and skill possessed by the companies. It will also help you reduce the number of companies now based on their experience, skills and cost. The issue of cost is a tricky one. When dealing with roofing Dallas, ensure you have the whole picture in mind. The best deal is where the company provides all you will need and you just pay the total cost. Usually this is calculated per the square roofing. However, you might need to compare this with the cost if you meet the expenses for getting the material by yourself. To minimize on unwanted future costs, you can rely on the metal roofs Fort Worth and spare yourself future maintenance costs.

Another aspect of the companies you should consider is the equipment they have. The kind of equipment the company has is a determinant of a number of issues. First, it assures you of quality and secondly it ensures the work is completed in time and does not put a huge demand on the available resources. The right modern equipment is also a testament of the company?s expertise. However, for a small job, you will not need to go to such lengths especially a repair job. This is majorly because only big Dallas roofers have the capital to get the latest equipment and are only suitable for large scale roofing Dallas. You should however, get the best deal and the right value for your money. A little extra expense will go a long way in giving you the best roofing Dallas possible.

Local Advertising In Business Directories ? Searchipnews.com ...

For decades, nearby mom and pop corporations could rely on word of mouth and
classic print services to garner customers. In the event the neighborhood companies had
a good or service that they wanted to promote, they could just call up the
local newspaper and ask for an advertisement. Nevertheless, as media has evolved
towards much more sophisticated routes including the internet, it has grow to be
increasingly far more tough (and oftentimes prohibitively high-priced) for
neighborhood companies to stand-out against the crowd by marketing in each newer
and older varieties of media.

Yet, neighborhood organizations continually uncover themselves facing a problem. As
possible buyers turn into a lot more Web savvy, nearby businesses might be
carrying out themselves a great disservice by not having some sort of exposure on
the world wide web.

According to Kelsey Research, 70% of US households now use the web when
looking for nearby goods and services. The truth is, it is projected that
more than 20 billion searches for nearby info will probably be created in 2007. 75% of
Web users have looked for services and items inside an area close to
their house or company. Additionally, current Net research have discovered that
some of the most searched queries in search engines such as Google or Yahoo
are words such as neighborhood company, totally free, discount, inexpensive, as well as other terms
bearing the connotation that the searcher is seeking for something to
obtain.

Despite the fact that a lot of could be looking to look for low-cost electronics that could be
shipped to their properties, it?s also very apparent that customers are
trying to find corporations in their nearby place that they can patronize. Most
consumption on a day to day basis is just not on products including electronics that
might be bought on the web. Individuals require automotive services, tutors, daycare,
lawn care, restaurants, grocery shops, salons, plumbers, and much, a lot
much more inside several miles of their property. These everyday rituals that we all
engage in are all predicated on understanding where to locate enterprise. And as
mentioned above, with an abundance of folks turning to the World wide web to locate
out exactly where effectively priced, handy goods and services are positioned, even a
little Web presence can skyrocket an organization.

However, the typical neighborhood business doesn?t have a large amount of money to
devote on Net exposure. Even when they do have the finances to construct a
website, the approach can be cumbersome and somewhat daunting for the
generations of small business that aren?t well-read in the techniques of
cyberspace. In the event the typical website can run anywhere from hundreds to
thousands of dollars, is it nevertheless worth producing Even if you get the
website up and operating, how will men and women discover you How high will you be
ranked on search engines In the event you are like me, each of the be concerned involved requires
away time from each of the day-to-day client service concerns that include the
territory of owning a business. Why really should you devote an inordinate quantity of
income when there is absolutely no guarantee of acquiring more consumers for your trouble
A lot of are pushed away since the return on investment just doesn\?t appear
worth it.

If this can be what you think, perhaps it is possible to take into account several other low price
options for your tiny business to obtain attention and some exposure on the
internet. A thing as simple as a Facebook or Myspace account might be utilised to
garner advertisement for the business. The internet is all about content
and link popularity, and getting even a bit bit can help. Nonetheless, there
are services which can be starting to expand the range of possibilities for
nearby organizations and cater explicitly to them. Websites for example
www.Cityslick.net and www.Merchantcircle.com allow organizations to create local
listings whereby consumers can place simple contact information, slogans,
product descriptions and photos, customizable coupons, appointment
generators, documents, social bookmarking, and much more. The terrific element
about internet sites like these is the fact that they?re not static; companies usually do not
simply post a listing and hope for customers to show up. Consumers can
browse, request deals, request appointments, chat with other customers and
businesses within the forums, and leave reviews.

If you decide to list on a company directory website, make sure that they
are performing their greatest to get you the most exposure attainable. In accordance with
www.webworkshop.net, Link text (the text that is clicked on when clicking on
a link) is singly essentially the most critical factor when Google determines the
rankings for any provided search-term. To help a modest neighborhood company website
grow in this fashion, it?s important that business owners submit to nearby
directories that could supply custom back hyperlinks.

www.Cityslick.net in distinct is proactive in its approach to make sure that
these sorts of interactions take place. By employing the latest search engine
optimization (Search engine marketing) strategies, they may be drawing customers towards the internet site not
only by promoting it as a strategy to locate inexpensive, nearby offers, but they?re also
generating it so that listings, just by themselves, have the same kind of
visibility as traditional websites.

Nearby and little company owners have a multitude of factors to worry about
like the way to very best promote their venture. By utilizing the net to post
to sophisticated company directories, businesses can get all of the positive aspects of
having a web site with out obtaining to spend a good deal of income for their own website.
Take a look. Your customers and business will thank you for it.

British police call off search for supposed lion

Police stand at Earls Hall Farm in St Osyth, southern England where a lion was apparently seen Monday Aug. 27, 2012. Outside the idyllic English village of St. Osyth, police are hunting a lion. A small army of officers and tranquilizer-toting zoo experts, along with a pair of heat-seeking helicopters, are spending their Monday combing the woods, ponds, and farmland around the coastal community after a resident spotted what was believed to be a lion lounging in a field of grass. Where such a beast may have come from is anyone's guess; the local zoo says its animals are accounted for, and police have said a local circus isn't missing any either.

A small army of officers and tranquilizer-toting zoo experts, along with a pair of heat-seeking helicopters, are spending their Monday combing the woods, ponds, and farmland around the coastal community after a resident spotted what was believed to be a lion lounging in a field of grass. Where such a beast may have come from is anyone's guess; the local zoo says its animals are accounted for, and police have said a local circus isn't missing any either.

(AP) ? So, were the locals lying about the lion?

Police said Monday that they've found no evidence to support area residents' claims that they'd spotted a big cat prowling the countryside near the idyllic village of St. Osyth, in the southeastern English county of Essex.

Sunday's reported sightings alarmed many of the village's 4,000 people, and authorities sent about 40 officers, tranquilizer-toting zoo experts, and a pair of heat-seeking helicopters to the area in an effort to find the beast.

But a police spokeswoman said that, after an extensive search, "we've found no evidence" of a lion. The creature spotted Sunday night may have been a large domestic cat or a wildcat, she added.

So does that mean there never was any lion?

The official, who spoke on customary condition of anonymity, demurred, noting that the people interviewed by police were convinced they'd spotted a lion. That aside, she said, "we've stopped searching for it."

It seems the mysterious "Essex Lion" will join a number of other mythical beasts that at times appear and then disappear into Britain's forests and seaside ? particularly in the dead of summer, when journalists struggle to fill papers and news bulletins.

In 2011, there was the Hampshire White Tiger, whose alleged appearance near a sports field stopped a cricket game and led to a police alert (the tiger turned out to be a stuffed toy). And in 2007, the British media went wild over a man who claimed to have photographed a great white shark off the coast of Cornwall, in southwestern England.

The man, a bouncer, later admitted that the pictures were actually taken while on vacation in South Africa, adding that he couldn't believe anyone had been foolish enough to take the hoax seriously.

Hundreds join anti-nuclear rally in Tokyo

Hundreds of anti-nuclear demonstrators marched in Tokyo Sunday, calling for Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda to abandon the country's atomic energy programme following last year's Fukushima accident.

Approximately 500 protesters, including mothers with their children and young men banging drums, walked through the capital's popular Shibuya shopping district.

"This is part of the movement that has backed up the rallies outside the prime minister's office every Friday," one of the participants said.

In recent months about a thousand people have protested every Friday outside the prime minister's office in Tokyo, in an attempt to put pressure on Noda to ditch Japan's nuclear energy programme.

Last week the PM met face-to-face with anti-nuclear demonstrators for the first time.

Representatives of the movement asked Noda to reverse his decision to restart two reactors and urged him to abandon nuclear power altogether.

Noda declined to switch off the two reactors that were restarted this summer amid looming power shortages.

He repeated his government's plans to adopt a new energy policy to reduce the country's dependence on atomic power, which once accounted for one-third of its supply.

Japan turned off its stable 50 reactors in the wake of the 9.0 magnitude quake on March 2011, which set off a massive tsunami that swamped the Fukushima Daiichi plant, sending reactors into meltdown.

Radiation was spread over a large area in the worst nuclear accident in a generation.

Republican Convention's Big Squeeze: Planners Trim Schedule to Three Days

TAMPA, Fla. - Republican officials are getting a lesson in how to squeeze a national convention into just three days.

In a conference call with reporters today, Romney campaign strategist Russ Schriefer said that Tropical Storm Isaac - soon to be Hurricane Isaac - had forced Republican National Convention planners to eliminate "some parts of the program that weren't essential in order to retain our headliners."

Schriefer said that none of the "headliners" - those speakers who were scheduled for the prime 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. time slot - had been removed from the program, but other speakers had.

"We did not change the 10 to 11 p.m. hour on any night," Schriefer said.

According to the revised schedule released by convention officials, the roll call vote officially nominating Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan to the Republican ticket will take place on Tuesday. That night Ann Romney will speak. Ryan's speech takes place on Tuesday and Romney's on Thursday.

The trimming of the schedule to accommodate the party's three-day time frame included cutting out some parts of the program entirely and "making a few of the speeches shorter," Schriefer said.

And the RNC built in an additional half-hour of time by pushing up the start of Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights to 7:00 p.m. instead of 7:30.

"We're obviously monitoring what is going on with the weather," Schriefer said.

Tropical Storm Isaac will be making its way up the Florida coast tonight, bringing with it potentially damaging rain and wind. It is expected to strengthen into a hurricane as early as Monday morning, and then make landfall somewhere along the Gulf Coast on Tuesday.

He left open the possibility that "if the weather changes," further alterations to the schedule might be made, though none were planned at this time. And Schriefer declined to speculate about potentially extending the convention programming through Friday.

"It's a hypothetical question and I really don't want to kind of answer it in that way," he said.

Monday's session will be brief. Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus plans to gavel in the convention and then immediately call it into recess until Tuesday.

"If the session lasts more than five minutes I would be surprised," Schriefer said, noting that although delegates are invited to attend he did not anticipate many would show up.

In an interview with "Fox News Sunday," Priebus emphasized that "the show is going to go on.

"We're going to get the business done at the RNC," the chairman said. "We're going to nominate Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. We're going to have a great time in Tampa."

Pierre Cardin offering glass skyscraper to Venice

MILAN (AP) ? French fashion designer Pierre Cardin has designed a gift meant as an economic catalyst to Venice and the region: a 250-meter (800-foot)-tall modernist glass skyscraper housing a fashion university, luxury hotel suites and shops.

But rather than unbridled enthusiasm, the proposed ?2.4-billion ($3 billion) project has been met with everything from healthy skepticism to open ridicule.

The "Palace of Light" has been described alternatively as a spaceship that crashed into the lagoon, a shiny fishing lure or an illuminated mushroom.

"It is seen with interest, but at the same time with open perplexity," said Claudio Borghello, a Venice city councilman. "There is not a skyscraper of this dimension in all of (the) Veneto (region), forget right on the lagoon." At the same time, "this could become a symbol that you can relaunch this part of the world."

Cardin, who turned 90 in July, designed his "Palais Lumiere" as a gift to his native Veneto, the region that includes Venice. While Cardin epitomizes French style, he is actually Italian-born: Pietro Cardin, trundled off from San Biagio di Callalta, north of Venice, by his parents to France at age 2.

Three interconnecting towers would be built at the industrial port of Marghera, an area in economic decline some 10 kilometers (6 miles) from Venice's landmark St. Mark's Square. Under the proposal, Cardin would clean up pollutants from the land, invest ?1.4 billion ($1.75 billion) himself and endow the fashion university, said Cardin's nephew, Rodrigo Basilicati, who has been pushing the project through the bureaucracy.

Plans envision 2,500 to 3,000 jobs on site created during construction, and another 2,000 to 2,500 after completion.

While welcoming the prospects of an environmental cleanup and new jobs, critics are concerned about overall impact on the fragile lagoon environment and a city already overwhelmed by mass tourism ? as well as visual pollution from the tower itself, which some complain has no relationship with the city's Byzantine architecture.

Architect Vittorio Gregotti urged Cardin: "If you want to do something for Venice, do something else." Italia Nostra, a preservation group, said the skyscraper, at three times the height of St. Mark's "would squash the city's proportions," and referred to the structure itself as a "giant illuminated mushroom."

To help persuade Venetians that the criticism is overstated, Cardin is opening an exhibit on the project in Marghera on Monday on the sidelines of the Venice Biennale of architecture, which opens Wednesday.

Basilicati said his uncle knew the project would be "a provocation." But the stylist wasn't quite ready for the intensity of the criticism.

"Let's say the reaction to the aesthetics he understands, even if it doesn't make him happy," Basilicati said. "On the other hand, the objections about the skyline and the environmental impact have disappointed him, using lies."

The towers, he insists, won't be visible at all from Venice's historic center, and only barely seen from the Lido island.

Italy's air traffic authority is expected to say within days if the tower's height interferes with local air traffic. After that, a committee of local authorities will convene in an effort to streamline final approvals, which could pave the way for construction to begin early next year.

"In an industrial zone like Port Marghera, which is not protected by UNESCO, I think this is only an improvement," Basilicati said

Egypt reopens Rafah crossing with Gaza: sources

ISMAILIA, EGYPT/GAZA (Reuters) - Egypt reopened the Rafah border crossing with Gaza on Saturday, a lifeline for Gazans which had been closed for much of the month since an August 5 attack on Egyptian guards, Palestinian and Egyptian security sources said.

The move signals an advance in relations between Egypt's new government lead by President Mohammed Mursi and Gaza's Islamist rulers Hamas, which had deteriorated since the attack in which gunmen killed 16 Egyptian soldiers on the Israeli border.

"The Egyptian side has informed us that the Rafah crossing would open all days of the week, without more details," said Ehab Al-Ghsain, spokesman for the interior ministry in Gaza.

The opening of the crossing was confirmed by an Egyptian security source.

Shortly after the attack, Egypt closed the Rafah crossing and moved to seal myriad smuggling tunnels with Gaza on suspicion they might have been used by militants who shot dead the soldiers before storming an Israeli border crossing near Gaza. The attackers were killed by Israeli fire.

The Rafah crossing normally sees some 800 people a day leave for Egypt and beyond, and is the only window on the world for the vast majority of Gazans.

Egypt later said it would open the crossing temporarily, but just for three days, mainly to permit travel for humanitarian purposes such as Palestinians seeking medical care abroad.

Hamas has ruled out suggestions that Palestinian gunmen took part in the Sinai killings and has criticised Cairo for imposing "collective punishment" on the impoverished Mediterranean coastal enclave by sealing the border.

Hamas hoped the election of the Muslim Brotherhood's Mursi would usher in an era of strong ties between Gaza and Cairo, but that has yet to materialise because of strategic considerations involving Egypt's 1979 peace treaty with Israel and related military aid from the United States.

Hi! I am new here. I don't have an official diagnosis, but after, well, lots of reading and writing, and questioning... I'm quite sure I share of a lot of traits... When I started reading about this, I read about meltdowns and thought I didn't have them... But oh! wait! I've realized I do have meltdowns. I call them migraines. Had them all my life. I get in a sonophobic, photophobic, any stimuli phobic state, that state preceding the pain, sometimes there is no pain... Happens quite often. I gobble ibuprofen as if it were candy. Should buy the company.

But there was a period in my life when I went on for a long time having very few of them... I was working out an hour a day, really hard, keeping my pulse over 150 all that time...

So, I'm thinking, maybe "aspie machinery" needs to be more finely tuned than most... Or maybe it's just the endorphins doing their job (best drug ever). What do you think?

Meanwhile, since empirical method has proved useful before, I'm going to work out.

I get migraines and I get meltdowns. To me they're not the same thing. But they do seem related, I sometimes get migraines as a result of meltdowns, or any other kind of stress, and my migraines can sometimes be triggered by sensory triggers like bright light or color patterns. But usually there's some other stressor at work as well as the sensory issue, such as a strange situation, fatigue, hunger, and so forth.

Maybe it has to do with holding a meltdown at bay, as that can take a lot of effort, is internalizing the feelings, and it does seem that could result in a migraine. So yeah, maybe. (I'm also self-diagnosed btw.)

Exercise stimulates endorphins and helps people's stress levels stay more even. It could reduce sensory issues, I suppose. Hadn't really thought about it. It also regulates blood pressure, which can be a part of what makes a migraine happen. So maybe you have something there.

It improves overall health, circulation, muscle and bone strength, and yes, it does generate mood boosting endorphins. So, yes, it can help with some issues for those on the spectrum.

Also, if you are prone to depression, then exercise helps. I am prone to depression and have used antidepressants before, but I feel like I am in a stable emotional place with regular exercise even without medication. I would be a mess without it.

I once rang my Mum on the verge of a meltdown. She's only just really coming to understand autism and didn't even believe I had it at first. But this time she says "I've been reading about AS - have you been for a run today? Go for a run! Go on - get your shoes on, get your ipod and call me in half an hour!" Lol, it was actually quite funny. Well, I did it and half an hour later I was feeling a lot better. Sometimes mums do know best, I guess Wink
