    US clears decks for export of 22 predator Guardian drones to India; will help maritime surveillance – Firstpost - July 2, 2017 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Washington: The US state department has issued the necessary license for the export of 22 predator Guardian drones to India, a government source here said, days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Donald Trump had their first bilateral meeting at the White House.

    The state department has "issued the DSP-5 Guardian export licence" for India, the source told PTI. A DSP-5 category licence is issued for permanent export of military hardware as found in the US Munitions List, which is defined by the International Traffic Arms Regulations.

    The Guardian drones will enhance India's maritime surveillance capabilities in the Indian Ocean region and their sale was announced by Trump on 26 June after he met Modi for their first face-to-face meeting.

    The deal is one of the key takeaways from the Narendra Modi-Donald Trump meet in Washington last month. PTI file image

    The drones are estimated to cost around $2 billion and are being built by General Atomics, considered a pioneer in the unmanned aerial vehicles domain. The speed with which the Trump administration decided on India's request for the drones, the source said, is reflective of the desire in White House to strengthen India's military capabilities in the Indo-Asia Pacific region, where China's aggressive diplomatic and military posture has unnerved other countries.

    "We are extremely pleased that Trump and Modi have had excellent deliberations and the path forward for a game-changer in US-India defence relations has been charted," said Vivek Lall of General Atomics.

    Lall, who in his previous capacity at Boeing, was instrumental in the sale of high-tech military hardware to India, is believed to have played a role in convincing the Trump administration to accelerate the sale of the drones. "Given the Sea Guardian's capabilities, such a response to the Indian Navy's request demonstrates a major change in US policy as this type of aircraft capability is only exported to a very select few of America's closest defence partners," he said.

    "This represents tangible implementation of US Congress' designation of India as a 'Major Defence Partner'," said Lall.

    On Tuesday, Lall met US vice-president Mike Pence on the sidelines of the annual US-India Business Council summit, when Pence endorsed the deal to provide India with Apache attack helicopters, C-17 transport aircraft, besides the drones. The deal is seen as the biggest tangible takeaway from the Trump-Modi meeting towards the operationalisation of the major defence partner relationship.

    The Indian Navy requested for the drones early last year. But no tangible action was taken under the previous Obama administration, apparently because of the stiff opposition from the state department, which argued that this could upset Pakistan, America's ally in war against terror in Afghanistan.

    The Trump White House spearheaded the inter-agency process to make a significant policy change in favour of India by granting this technology based on government-to-government interactions, the source told PTI.

    India had been eyeing the Predator technology for years, and it was only the Trump-Modi combination that they were able to move the decision to this point, the source said. Pakistan is said to be actively lobbying Washington against the sale of the drones to India. However, the White House overruled all objections, paving the way for a new phase of India-US defence relationship.

    Blizzard Finally Nerfed Hearthstone’s Quest Rogue Deck – Kotaku - July 1, 2017 by Mr HomeBuilder

    After stirring up loads of controversy, Hearthstones much-maligned Quest Rogue deck is finally getting nerfed. Instead of triggering the quest by playing four minions with the same name, now players will have to find a way to summon five, which might seem like a small change but is actually a significantly harder task.

    Quest Rogue is a deck that gives every minion a 5 health / 5 attack stat line when the player summons four minions with the same name. Since most minions in the deck can be summoned at a very low mana cost, the quest is one of the strongest in the game, and is practically unbeatable unless its up against a deck that specifically counters it.

    Apparently, in Blizzards eyes, the card was so strong it warranted some tweaks. Todays changes will make turn-three quest finishes near impossible to pull off, meaning that Quest Rogues will be weaker against aggro decks, but still potent against late-game focused decks that spend a lot of time stalling.

    While Blizzards balance team says that Quest Rogue decks arent single-handedly wrecking Hearthstones metagame, they say the change is meant to expand the deck options available to players, which is already a good thing. On top of that, though, the change will address the problem that pro players like Brian Brian Kibler Kibler struggled with: namely, that the deck feels like it has a limited axis of interaction.

    If you arent crazy lucky, and you dont kill a Quest Rogue before turn four, youre usually dead unless youre running a direct counter. Kibler actually recommended this exact change to the quest in his video addressing its problems, so he and other pros are happy to see the card changed:

    This nerf pattern will look familiar to anyone whos been following Hearthstone for more than a few months. Back in February, when Midrange Shamans and Pirate Warriors smashed almost everything else in the metagame, Blizzard stepped in and nerfed two cards that were key to those decks: Small-time Buccaneer and Spirit Claws. While the nerfs werent so intense that they made those decks irrelevant, they tweaked the game just enough to let other decks like Renolock and Jade Druid back into the mix.

    Its hard to know whether the changes to Quest Rogue will have a significant impact on the metagame, because right now, the highest tiers of Hearthstone play are already much more varied than they were back in February. While the Quest Rogue will likely rotate out of popularity, its hard to say whether thatll affect the rest of the tier list ecosystem.

    So why bother making the changes? Comparing Februarys nerfs to todays, the one thing that they both have in common is that theyre both set for release about a month before the launch of a new expansion. With Blizzard already dropping hints about an upcoming set of cards, the move is probably more of an attempt to prep for the next set than it is to shake things up in todays competitive scene.

    If Blizzard wants to release powerful new cards in the next set, it probably doesnt want boring, static Quest Rogue decklists running amok and deflating their appeal. This issue actually reared its ugly head earlier this month, when Cong Strifecro Shu reached top 20 in Hearthstones Wild mode using a fully-standard Quest Rogue decklist, which seems broken as hell when you consider that Wild players can use cards from every expansion ever released.

    If youve got your own Quest Rogue deck and are freaking out about the change, dont sweat it too muchas a consolation prize, once the nerf is live, youll be able to disenchant the decks defining card, The Caverns Below, for a full 1600 dust. Maybe hold onto it though, because with a new expansion coming out soon, who knows? The deck might get a card that brings it back to its former glory.

    Wahoo Decks Aluminum Decking & Deck Railing - October 22, 2016 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Yet, we would be remiss if we didnt share with you what we can offerespecially since we truly believe we have the most superior deck and decking material choices on the market. Yes, you may find others who have replicated our patented designs but dont settle for a cheap imitation that just wont perform now but especially, over time.

    Aluminum decking is a great option if you are building or remodeling a deck. Aluminum is eco-friendly, durable, very low-maintenance, and cooler to the touch (and underfoot!) than traditional wood decking.

    The process of thermally-modifying wood to enhance its durability has been around for centuries. In the past 20 years, Europe has worked on perfecting the process with softwoods, and the thermo-treatment market has continued to grow both there and in the US with hardwoods. Thermo-treated woods are also eco-friendly as no chemicals are used in the treatment process and they allow rainforest woods to which this wood is similar to be left intact.

    AridDek, DryJoist, DryJoistEZ are branded products marketed by Wahoo Decks. DryJoist & DryJoistEZ hold US Patent No. 8,276,344

    Top 2016 Wood Deck Designs Ideas & Pictures - September 27, 2016 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Wood decks are a popular outdoor addition to any home, providing an extra room in the house as well as a space to relax and enjoy the outdoors. If you are considering adding a wooden deck to your front or backyard, then this is the site for you. Here you can find the best wooden decking material reviews with easy to build design plans, ideas and pictures. There are many different wood materials to use when constructing a deck, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. The price of your wooden deck will vary depending on the material you choose, however, you can use an outdoor wood decking material calculator help choose the best option. Common outdoor materials to use for building a deck include wood, plastic, or composite lumber. Wood decks and patios are the most popular choice among homeowners because of the natural aesthetic appeal of real woods. In addition, it is readily available, innately durable and comes in a variety of types, colors and textures.

    When using natural wood for a deck, the top choice among homeowners in 2016 is red cedar. Many people choose cedar wood for decks because it is a solid softwood that is strong, durable and innately resistant to fire and rot. In addition, cedar is a great lumber to use in deck planks because it is inexpensive and easy to use. Another commonly used natural wood is redwood. This type of wood is similar to cedar in that it is a strong softwood, however, it contains more natural chemicals that make it even more resistant to fire and rot. Oak is another great type of wood to use in decking design ideas because it is readily available, inexpensive and also resistant to decay. Although these materials are full of natural chemicals that make them stronger, over time natural wood tends to become cracked, warped, discolored or dried out. Deck cleaning and staining is the best way to maintain your woods color and beauty, however sealing it is your best option. Easy deck cleaning and sealing can be done with a simple wash and an epoxy sealer with water and UV resistance for optimum results.

    Popular idea for 2016, bamboo wood decking is also a popular material choice, especially among eco-friendly homeowners. Bamboo is naturally weather and insect resistant and also very durable. In addition, bamboo is a great alternative to wood because it is a fast growing and renewable. Bamboo needs to be cleaned and sealed regularly to maintain its beautiful look. If the maintenance of natural wood and bamboo is a shortcoming for you, but you still want real wood, consider using tropical hardwoods such as IPE lumber. Ipe wood decks are made from Brazilian walnut and are extremely durable and water resistant. This material is so weather resistant that it is commonly used to construct docks and boardwalks. However, the strength and durability of IPE does not come without a cost. IPE is more expensive than any other wood so make sure to consider this in your budget plan. Another great real wood option is pressure treated lumber. This type of engineered hardwood decking is chemically infused with weather, rot, and insect resistant coatings to extend the lifespan of the material.

    Pressure treated lumber is less expensive that cedar and redwoods, requires less maintenance and is more durable. A different wood option is composite decking, which is an artificial plastic lumber. These fake wood deck boards are made from a combination of plastics and wood fibers and are very durable and resistant to moisture. Composite decking ideas vary because it comes in an assortment of colors and textures to create beautiful wood-like decks at a lower cost. When comparing composite vs pressure treated wood, composite is more expensive however it does not require restaining or resealing like treated lumber. Wood pool deck ideas often make use of composite materials because they can withstand the constant exposure to water. If you are choosing between a natural wood or composite deck, the advantage of real lumber is the visual appeal, but composite is easier to maintain and more durable. Azek decking and fiberon decking are the top composite wood manufacturers and the most popular choice of 2016.

    Other popular flooring options for decks are wood tiles. Wood decking tiles can be placed overtop your existing deck to create a type of floating surface that does not damage or destroy the present flooring. The tiles join together with connecting tabs, allowing them to be set up and removed quickly, making installation easy.
