TimberTech AZEK MAX boards which are 1.5 thick (compared to the standard 1 thick) in Coastline and Slate Gray. It’s time to learn the differences, let’s put them head to head First, Timbertech boards are known to be more weather resistant and sun resistant due to the capping on all four sides. Multi-Width Decking in narrow (3.5), standard (5.5) and wide (7.25) widths in the Vintage Collection and standard and wide-widths in our Harvest Collection. It looks like the Timbertech specs say the maximum spacing should be 3/16” - which is 4.76mm. Trex also offers a 25-year warranty that covers all the same splitting and board concerns and even works the same as the Timbertech does. The crew lead brushed him off somewhat and said it is actually better to have a bit more of a gap if a board ever needs to be replaced down the road.Īfter looking further, they used the Trex hidden fasteners, and the boards are spaced about 7mm apart (width of 4 quarters). That was my husband’s reaction as well mid-day when he stopped home for lunch. Covered by 30-Year Product and Fade & Stain Warranties. Moisture & UV protection with a 100 polymer 4-sided cap. Resembles hand-scraped wood with cascading color blending. Both TimberTech and Trex offer high-quality composite decking, TimberTech does also offer a PVC deck option as well. Pay 63.96 after 25 OFF your total qualifying purchase upon opening a new card. When I went I looked at the progress today, my instant reaction was that the boards looked spaced too far apart, as you can see the fasteners and joists easily underneath. TimberTech Deck should be installed using the same good building principals used to install wood or composite decking and. Composite Legacy Collection Composite Deck Board. We are using Timbertech Pro Legacy Collection with a hidden fastener system. If the budget is more important, Trex is 10 to 20 less expensive on their mid and high-end decking, but 30 greater on their budget-friendly line. Looking for wisdom of the crowd as to whether our deck contractor is properly spacing the boards for our new deck. Identifying the differences to determine which is better, Trex or Timbertech composite decking ultimately depends on the purchaser.

Fleming reviled him, referring to Connery as “the working-class Scot” and telling producers: “I’m looking for Commander Bond, not an overgrown stunt-man”. He didn’t have the acting experience of Cary Grant or David Niven. At least a decade younger than most of the serious candidates, he was a rank outsider for the part. Sean Connery: an exponent of tailoring at its finest - and in its heyday, perhapsĪnd so along came Connery. Even Roger Moore, a future 007, was considered - although Broccoli considered him “too young, and perhaps a shade too pretty”. No, Terence Young, was pushing for Shakespearean actor Richard Johnson to take the role. Other names were kicked around - including Patrick McGoohan of The Prisoner fame and David Niven (who was also over 50-years-old at the time). No as the first film in a franchise - and were forced to drop their top choice for Bond. Saltzman and Broccoli, however, still envisioned Dr. Grant was already 58-years-old, and refused to commit to a series of pictures. The contract was written up, and all but signed, when the Hollywood leading man revealed he would only make one film. (Plans to use Thunderball as the first film fell through due to legal disputes.) The newly-minted Eon Productions began work in earnest, laying the foundations for a franchise and searching for that most important, most elusive piece of the puzzle their protagonist.Īfter due consideration, Cary Grant was chosen - and given the part. Saltzman and Broccoli, already seasoned producers, had won the rights to Ian Fleming’s popular 007 novels - and just received authorisation from United Artists to bring Dr. “Cubby” Broccoli were busy wrangling a man of their own. But, while the Scotsman was busy making a name for himself, producers Harry Saltzman and Albert R. Over the next decade, Connery picked up bit-parts in many diverse films - from thriller Time Lock and adventure epic Tarzans’s Greatest Adventure to 1961 comedy caper On the Fiddle. Connery went along, was initially placed in the chorus, and worked his way up to understudy of the lead. A fellow muscleman mentioned that the King’s Theatre was holding open auditions - for a production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s South Pacific. In 1953, the young Scotsman found himself in London attending a bodybuilding competition. And it would be this brawny, powerful pastime that would introduce Connery to the acting profession. It was an interest he developed during his teenage years a hobby maintained during a stint in the Navy and a slew of subsequent, singular jobs including lifeguard, artist’s model and coffin polisher. Instead, it was the iron-pumping, muscle-sculpting art of bodybuilding. Do you want a sequence of changing color from spring to fall or do you just really love rich, dramatic red throughout the seasons? Others start red and stay red till autumn. Some leaf out in brilliant reds in spring, change to green by summer, and finish the fall in yellows and oranges. Leaf Color: What color of foliage appeals most? With a range of foliage colors–red, green, orange, purple, white, and pink depending on the season–Japanese maples are among the most colorful of trees. There are fans of both types, and the choice is often informed by the style of the garden or the surrounding structures. Japanese maple foliage is primarily divided into two types: either palm-shaped ( Acer palmatum), or delicate and lacy ( Acer palmatum var. Leaf Shape: Decide which type of foliage appeals to you. Once you’ve got the size and form figured out, think about foliage. Are you looking to create a grove of Japanese maples? Maybe create a spotlight with a solitary specimen? Do you want to fill a large container? Or perhaps a taller Japanese maple as the main attraction? Japanese maples range from 2 to 30 feet tall in forms that can be weeping, rounded, dwarf, mounding, upright, or cascading. Size and Form: Choosing the right one means knowing how you want to use it. A better option might be a Korean maple which is lovely and hardy to zone 4. They can, however, be grown in containers and, once dormant, overwintered in an unheated garage or other cool, sheltered location. It’s possible for them to survive a year or two if the winter lows aren’t too severe, but sooner or later, they will succumb to weather. In Zone 4, most Japanese maples (except for Velvet Viking™) are not reliable in the garden. They can be grown in warmer zones, but can suffer from leaf scorch and require ample regular summer irrigation and protection from hot afternoon sun. Zone: Most Japanese maples do well in zones 5 – 8. To figure out which maple is right for your garden, consider these four factors: Dioramas, photos, and the actual depot fixtures all illustrate this remarkably well. If it is open, a visit to the Empire State Railway Museum gives a wonderful sense of the rail road era here in the Catskills. On your right you will see the historic Phoenicia Depot, built in 1899. (There is a sign for the Railway Museum.)ħ. Make the first right turn, onto Lower High Street. All along the U & D, distance was measured from Kingston, so you are 27 track miles from Kingston Point.

Take a break from the tour and stop in to enjoy the interesting and informative exhibits, gather detailed information on visiting the Catskills, and if your timing is right attend an event (there are many held throughout the season, check the website for details and information).Ĭontinue west on the Byway. Hinchey Catskill Interpretive Center on your right. After entering the Township of Shandaken, you find the Maurice D. Retrace your steps back to the Byway, turning left and heading through Boiceville.Ĥ. Note: this is private property–please respect that, and just view the historic depot from the road. You will see the old Cold Brook depot on your right. After crossing the tracks, make an immediate right turn onto Cold Brook Road, and continue. As you enter Boiceville, just where the speed limit drops to 45 mph, turn left onto Route 28A, crossing first the Esopus and then the old tracks. What you see today was the relocation of track as the reservoir was being built.) Heading back to Route 28, turn left and continue west. (Note: this was not the original 1870’s alignment–that route now lies under the Ashokan Reservoir. A brief detour from Route 28, turning at Winchell’s Corner onto Reservoir Road, will bring you to an overpass crossing the old tracks. The depot at Brown’s Station, one of the communities lost to the Ashokan ReservoirĢ. As you enter the hamlet of Shokan, on your left you see some track and an old Tool House, used for storing track repair tools and occasionally a rail speeder. Starting on Route 28 as you enter the Town of Olive, the railbed of the old Ulster & Delaware Rail Road is on your left, between the Ashokan Reservoir and the road. Much has been lost over the years, but there are still many signs of the heyday of railroading, and the difference the coming of the rails in the 1870’s made here.ġ. In an afternoon’s drive, (a short hike and museum visits could easily make it a full day) which spans the length of the Scenic Byway, you will discover many remnants of the rich rail road history here in the Catskills. But that’s the way we server our customers,” Williams said. So, if we get a big catch in the door, sometimes we’re here until 1 or 2 a.m. Returning customers will notice the family renovated the storefront over the winter.“We freeze all our fish within 48 hours of catch to ensure the best quality when thawing. The fish are then frozen immediately or sold fresh to groceries, restaurants, or walk-in customers. Smoked fish are at the center of a popular soup recipe that the fish company shares with customers.Once the fish arrive in Bay Port, a crew of eight to 18 workers begins the time-consuming process of fileting and de-boning the catch by hand. The company sends boats into Lake Huron to catch fish to sell, but also buys fish from trusted sources.In addition to the whitefish they catch themselves, the Williams family sells an array of fish and seafood purchased directly from other anglers they know and trust. Then, every morning at daylight for the next seven months, The Osprey motors out of Bay Port and returns in the afternoon loaded with whitefish. They quickly learned, though, and the business thrived.Fish come first in Bay PortĮach spring, Tod Williams and his crew climb aboard The Osprey and set their nets for the season in Lake Huron, about eight miles off Port Austin. In the beginning, the Williams brothers and Root knew little about commercial fishing. It’s a pretty neat way of life,” Lakon Williams says. “My dad catches the fish and I sell them. Renovations over the winter were carefully designed to continue to allow visitors to watch the crew clean and filet fish.Today, Tod Williams and his daughter, Lakon, carry on the family business in tiny Bay Port through a combination of wholesale and retail operations – and their thriving on-site store. That year, Tod Williams and his brother, Forrest, bought the business from Engelhard with their best friend, Dennis Root, even though none of them knew the first thing about commercial fishing. His sales grew so much over the years that in 1978 it became the Bay Port Fish Sandwich Festival. The fish sandwich frenzy began in 1949 when Henry Engelhard began selling fish sandwiches in front of his house to pay his daughter’s college tuition. in Michigan’s Thumb.The town of Bay Port (population 464) is probably best known for its annual Fish Sandwich Festival held the first full weekend of August. Whitefish, yellow perch, walleye, catfish, trout, cod, and more arrive daily by boat or truck to Bay Port Fish Co. Today, however, there are only 13 state-licensed commercial fisheries in Michigan – including Bay Port Fish. Established in 1895, Bay Port Fish was one of thousands of commercial fishing operations that flourished in the Great Lakes and employed tens of thousands of people. The Bay Port Fish store is open daily April through October and attracts visitors from across Michigan. “It’s definitely hard work, but we love it.” “On average, we haul in about 200,000 pounds of whitefish out of Lake Huron each season,” says Lakon Williams, whose family has owned the company since 1978. Today, Tod Williams and his daughter, Lakon, run the wholesale and retail operations in Bay Port.We’re talking lots of fish.

The stock-trading app was originally intending to go public as soon as this summer, but questions from the U.S. While Didi prepares for its big debut, Robinhood's plans have been hampered. “Unfortunately, Microsoft has never seen it that way.” Salesforce’s Slack was indignant the chat app-maker turned Nadella’s own words against him: “Our reaction is simple: choice is better than lock-in, open is better than closed, and fair competition is best of all,” Slack said in a statement. As part of the features announced at Thursday’s event, Microsoft said it would bundle Teams, its chat software, into Windows 11. While Microsoft declares itself beneficent, competitors detect only hypocrisy. As The Verge’s Dieter Bohn observes, “It’s a truism that, in tech, the underdog always calls for openness until they’re the top dog.” (See: Amazon’s marketplace, Google’s search engine, etc.) The Windows app store pales in comparison to the dynamism of Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android app stores, and Microsoft hopes to make it a more compelling hub for developers. It’s easy for Microsoft to present itself as so magnanimous. Countering Apple, Microsoft’s chief product officer, Panos Panay, noted at the Windows event that “we keep zero” in fees. At issue were Apple’s app store policies, which enforce onerous strictures on app developers, like preventing them from using their own payment methods and demanding steep cuts of transactions. Apple just finished defending itself in courtroom hearings at an antitrust-related trial brought by Fortnite-maker Epic Games last month. Microsoft’s emphasis on being “open” is a direct rebuttal of Apple’s comparatively “closed” stance. “Today the world needs a more open platform, one that allows apps to become platforms in their own right,” he told the audience, calling Microsoft’s new operating system a “platform for platform creators.” During his keynote address at Microsoft’s Windows 11 software unveiling on Thursday, CEO Satya Nadella used the opportunity to take a not-so veiled jab at Apple. Microsoft is taking advantage of that relative cover to knock rivals. Impressive solution for those people who have a low internet connection. Provides full control over output quality.

One of the most famous finds came in 1974 when the nearly complete skeleton of an australopithecine nicknamed “ Lucy.” Lucy was discovered by anthropologist Donald Johanson. Important fossils and bones of several hominid species have been found in the Great Rift Valley. The erosion patterns of the highlands have caused a buildup of sediments on the rift valley floor, creating a favorable environment for the preservation of biological remains, including both human and animal remains. A number of other volcanic peaks are present in the Eastern Rift, such as Ol Doinyo Lengai, an active volcano. The eastern edge of the Eastern Rift is home to the inactive volcanic peaks of Mt. Birds attract other wildlife, which in turn creates a unique set of environmental ecosystems. Millions of birds feed off the abundant supply of algae and fish. Alkaline water creates an ideal breeding ground for algae and other species of fish, such as tilapia, which thrive in this environment. The differences in water composition of the lakes along the Eastern Rift vary from freshwater to extremely alkaline. The lakes have higher levels of sodium carbonate and mineral buildup because of a high rate of evaporation. The Eastern Rift does not have deepwater lakes rather, it is a wide valley or basin with shallow lakes that do not have outlets. Lake Victoria is located between the Western Rift and the Eastern Rift. The Western Rift includes a series of deepwater lakes, such as Lake Tanganyika, Lake Edward, and Lake Albert. The Virunga Mountains on the Congo–Uganda border are home to endangered mountain gorillas. On the western edge of the Western Rift are the highlands, which have a series of high-elevation mountain ranges, including the Rwenzori Mountains, the highest in the series. A series of deepwater lakes run along its valley. The Western Rift runs along the border with the Congo. The Great Rift Valley in East Africa is divided into the Western Rift and the Eastern Rift. The Great Rift Valley provides evidence of a split in the African Plate, dividing it into two smaller tectonic plates: the Somalian Plate and the Nubian Plate. The source of the Blue Nile is Lake Tana in the highlands of Ethiopia. The White Nile starts at Lake Victoria and flows north to the city of Khartoum in Sudan, where it converges with the Blue Nile to become the Nile River. (Lake Superior, on the border between the United States and Canada, is considered the lake with the largest surface area.) Lake Victoria provides fish and fresh water for millions of people in the surrounding region. The world’s second-largest lake by surface area is Lake Victoria, which borders Uganda, Tanzania, and Kenya. Rwanda and Burundi are physically in East Africa but are covered in the lesson about Central Africa because of their border activities with the Congo. The region also comprises the countries of Somalia, Djibouti, and Eritrea, which are located in the African Transition Zone between North Africa and Subsahran Africa. East Africa is a region that begins in Tanzania in the south and extends north through the great grasslands and scrub forest of the savannas of Kenya and Uganda and then across the highlands of Ethiopia, including the Great Rift Valley.
