| How To Repair Cracks in Tile Grout Lines | | 2008-07-13 19:08:39 | | Anyone that's installed ceramic tile knows that after time you may find narrow cracks in the grout lines. Typically this happens where two perpendicular faces come together. For example, where a tiled wall meets a tiled counter top or floor.We have this problem in or master bathroom in a few places on the whirlpool tub surround. This problem tends to happen more often with new construction due to the drastic changes in moisture content in the framing materials. As the framing materials dry out then shrink, twist and become distorted. As a result the tiled surfaces will move and create cracking at the grout lines. Repairing the hairline cracks in the grout lines is a fairly easy DIY project.When ever you install ceramic tile you really should keep some of the grout stored in a cool dry place for future repairs. Matching the color of grout later is much easier if you have some. There really are two approaches to this fix. The quick and dirty fix or the complicated repair.

| How To Repair Cracks In Asphalt Driveways | | 2008-05-19 10:13:41 | | If you own an asphalt driveway in a part of the country that freezes in the winter then most likely you have visible cracks in that driveway. Cracks are typically formed as a result of the freeze/thaw action and frost heaves. It is important to repair those cracks in the spring after they appear to help keep those cracks from turning into much larger problems.Once a pavement cracks it allows water to seep down into the sub-base. The water can then freeze and create even worse frost heaving and additional cracking and failure of the pavement. Sealing cracks in asphalt driveways is a very easy do-it-yourself project that doesn't require any special tools or knowledge.Last week I sealed several cracks in my driveway. I used Latexite 2X Premium Asphalt Crack Filler with pretty good results. The product is really easy to use. First you need to clean out the crack making sure to remove any debris, grass or old crack filler. Then you cut the tip on the bottle and fill the crack.

| A really bad movie idea that cracks me up nonetheless | | 2007-09-18 18:21:00 | | Arnold Schwarzenegger's Kindergarten Cop has been a neverending source of comedy since it's arrival some 17 years ago. Upon release, people thought it was actually a cute, amusing story - showcasing the hardened detective played by Ahnuld turned into a sweet, giant teddy bear by a gang of 5 year olds, some of which got some of the best lines themselves ("It might be a tumor," "Boys have a penis, girls have a vagina!").However, what's really turned into the comedy goldmine over the years (at least for me and a few friends) are just various lines said by Schwarzenegger over the course of the film, most of which are made funny only by the big guy's accent and timing ("I'm Detective John Kimble! I'm a cop, you idiot!"; "Who is your daddy and what does he do?"). For more fun with these, I direct you to one of the many Arnold soundboards over at eBaum's World.Anyhow, that's not totally what this is about. See, this weekend, another blockbuster from the early 90s showed up on cable and I got sucked in. In fact, it's another movie that involves a Kimble and a bunch of cops. Tonally, The Fugitive couldn't be much different from Kindergarten Cop, yet all I could dream of afterwards was a mashup of the two movies in which a detective goes undercover as a kindergarten teacher while looking for the one-armed man who killed his wife. "I'm detective John Richard Kimble! I'm looking for a one-armed man, you idiot!!"My deepest apologies if this doesn't bring a smile to your face, as it does mine. If not, try to think of some other films where the characters have the same last name that could be mashed up. There's bound to be something that cracks you up. Perhaps Pulp Fiction's Marsellus Wallace and Weird Science's Gary Wallace (Anthony Michael Hall)? | | By: Blog Cabins | | |

| Iran Cracks Down on Dissent | | 2007-06-24 23:49:36 | | From the NY Times:By NEIL MacFARQUHAR Published: June 24, 2007 Iran is in the throes of one of its most ferocious crackdowns on dissent in years, with the government focusing on labor leaders, universities, the press, women’s rights advocates, a former nuclear negotiator and Iranian-Americans, three of whom have been in prison for more than six weeks. The shift is occurring against the backdrop of an economy so stressed that although Iran is the world’s second-largest oil exporter, it is on the verge of rationing gasoline. At the same time, the nuclear standoff with the West threatens to bring new sanctions. The hard-line administration of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, analysts say, faces rising pressure for failing to deliver on promises of greater prosperity from soaring oil revenue. It has been using American support for a change in government as well as a possible military attack as a pretext to hound his opposition and its sympathizers. moreThe regime in Iran h | | By: Dyre Portents | | |

| Google Cracks Down on Link Buying | | 2007-06-15 20:18:00 | | This week the Official Google Webmaster Central Blog announced an addition to Google's spam reporting form for people to report sites that appear to be buying paid links in order to influence search engine rankings. This addition ties in with Matt Cutt's none-too-subtle warning at a recent SMX Advanced interview with Danny Sullivan. Matt essentially reinforced to the audience that buying links is against Google's guidelines and that those who are buying links may feel the heat soon as Google tries to patch this chink in its armor (see the video below).Does this Mean Buying Links Has Become Too Dangerous?I expect Google will follow through on its threats to take a more forceful approach against buying links but at the same time I am betting that buying links won't be gone anytime soon. After all, buying links is not JUST used by companies to garner link popularity. The fact is that some buy paid links for the clickthrough traffic and Google must be careful not to penalize anyone for | | By: The SEO Blog | | |
