Detroit | Rebuilding Motor City: 3817
Kevin introduces the city of Detroit and describes some of its history. He meets journalist Stephen Henderson in front of his childhood home, and learns about how the city and its neighborhoods came upon hard times. Kevin pulls up to the project house and meets Frank and Tamiko Polk, as well as Frank’s mom Carolyn, in the front yard. He heads inside with Tamiko and Carolyn to tour the first and second floor. Frank finds Tommy in the back yard, and they assess some of the repairs needed, including repointing the brickwork and rebuilding the front stairs. Richard shows Frank some of the plumbing issues in the basement, and then Scott makes suggestions for upgrading the electricity. Frank, Kevin and Tommy start demo on the roof by pulling up three layers of shingles.

How to Install a Gas Clothes Dryer
Ask This Old House plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey helps an expecting couple select and install a gas dryer. Click here to SUBSCRIBE to the official This Old House YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=thisoldhouse Time: 3-4 hours Cost: $800 and up Skill Level: Expert – licensed professionals only Tools List for Installing a Gas Clothes Dryer: Pipe wrench (x2) Drill Hole saw Screwdriver Shopping List: Gas pipes Gas pipe fittings Gas nipples Pipe dope Dryer vent Dryer vent cover Flexible gas connector Gas leak detector Gas tubing hanger Steps: 1. Any work involving gas can be dangerous and should be left to a licensed professional. 2. Start by shutting off the gas at the meter using a wrench or at the nearest gas shutoff upstream of where the new gas work will happen. 3. Measure and connect a series of gas pipes, fittings and nipples to the source of the gas to the rough location of the dryer. Secure all the connections between the pipes and the fittings with pipe dope and tighten them with the wrenches. 4. At the bottom of the gas work closest to the dryer, add a drip cap to allow for a sediment clean out. 5. Connect the flexible gas line to the end of the new gas pipes and then to the gas fitting on the dryer using the wrenches. 6. Drill a hole in the exterior wall where the dryer will vent. Do this using the drill with a hole saw attachment. 7. Insert the dryer vent cover into the dryer vent and tighten the clamp with a screwdriver until it’s secure. 8. Feed the dryer vent into the wall and then screw the dryer vent cover to the exterior wall. 9. Connect the dryer vent to the dryer and secure it to the dryer using a clamp and the screwdriver. 10. Plug in the dryer (this power is only to spin the drum) and turn the gas back on. 11. Test all the new gas work for any leaks using a leak detector. 12. Once you’ve confirmed the gas work is all perfectly sealed, secure the pipes to the walls using screws and the gas tubing hangers. Resources: Richard recommends that if the electrical service to the house is insufficient, a gas dryer could be a more suitable option for installation. Working with gas can be extremely dangerous, so, as with any other gas appliances in the house, this type of work should only be handled by a licensed professional. Richard installed a 120V gas vented dryer, which is manufactured by GE Appliances (https://ift.tt/2BUD8Mg). The other materials he used for this installation, including the black gas pipes, fittings, nipples, and pipe dope, can all be found at home centers.

Arlington Arts & Crafts | An Arts & Crafts for the Ages: 3816
The Arts and Crafts house in Arlington is at completion and the guys come to take a last look and celebrate with the homeowners. Kevin and Tommy arrive at the new entrance where the old Silver Maple tree and telephone pole once stood. Kevin tours the front yard with Roger and landscape architect Kim Turner. Kim points out the new plantings in the front yard and all the hardscape that Roger and his crew have worked hard to finish. Meanwhile Tommy goes around the back to meet Norm and look at the three-story exterior addition. They reflect on how the addition was designed and built to look like it was always there. Inside, Kevin looks at the refurbished front door with homeowner Emily. The foyer ceiling has been covered with an embossed paper made of linseed to give it a decorative feeling. Emily points out other updates and they check out a new stair runner being installed on the front stairs. In the dining room, paneling has been added to the walls and an Arts and Crafts style wallpaper is above it. But the biggest change are the beautiful new oak pantry cabinets that replace what was once the outdated galley kitchen. The cabinets have a pass-through that connects to the dining room so that glassware and dishes can be accessed from both sides. Richard heads upstairs to the second floor and meets homeowner Nick. With the new addition, the entrance to the master bedroom was changed to allow for a suite with two closets, the bedroom, and a spacious new bathroom. Richard looks at the new technology in the bathroom –the shower, bathtub, and toilet all have control panels for a variety of functions. Norm finds Emily putting the finishing touches in her daughter’s room. Not much was changed in there except for a special wall painting style similar to watercolors. They head up to the third floor and look at the new craft/play space that the addition allowed. Originally the idea was to move the third floor bathroom to the newly built space but once they saw how beautiful and open the space was, they decided to keep the bathroom in the same location and instead use the space for something fun. Shiplap paneling gives the entire floor an updated look. Outside Kevin and Tommy reflect on the changes made to the front porch. The curved framing of the porch rafters and base were fabricated offsite using CNC machines. Once onsite and installed, the framing was sheathed with bendable plywood. New brackets also cut from CNC machines add to the Arts and Crafts style of the house. Back inside, Kevin meets interior designer Jill Goldberg who had to go back and forth with her design options when the homeowners ultimately decided not to paint the original oak paneling. With the natural paneling, she chose a soft grass cloth wallpaper to go above it to mimic the kitchen design. In the new family room addition, they look at the cabinetry over the television, the shades for all of the windows, and the best use of furniture placement in the new space. With the family room, kitchen and living room all opened up to each other, there is a better flow and a lot of light. Emily is thrilled with her kitchen. She shows Kevin her choices for appliances. The rest of the crew enters and they talk about how the project went. Roger presents the homeowners with a wooden bowl turned from a burl on the old Silver Maple tree that had to be taken down at the beginning of the project.

How to Repair a Cracked Stucco Retaining Wall
Ask This Old House mason Mark McCullough travels to San Diego to repair a crack in a concrete retaining wall with a stucco finish. Click here to SUBSCRIBE to the official This Old House YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=thisoldhouse Time: 2-3 hours Cost: $50 Skill Level: Moderate Tools List for Repairing a Cracked Stucco Wall: Shovel Cold chisel Hammer Bucket Margin trowel Finishing trowel Tuck pointer Masonry brush Shopping List: Type S mortar Steps: 1. Start by making sure the entire crack is fully exposed. This may require digging out the back side of the retaining wall with a shovel. 2. Once the full crack is exposed, take a chisel and a hammer and remove concrete on both sides of the crack until you have one continuous gap in the wall. This will make it easier to slide the mortar in. The gap should be about 1-2”. 3. Clean out the enlarged crack with a hose or a bucket of water. 4. Mix the mortar in a bucket with a margin trowel. Add a little more water than usual to allow the mortar to flow more easily into the crack. 5. Scoop up the mortar with the margin trowel and pour it slowly into the crack. Use the tuck pointer to push it firmly into place. It helps to hold a finishing trowel against the back side of the crack to keep it from pouring out. Leave about ½” on the front side of the wall to leave room for the stucco pattern. 6. Allow the mortar to dry for about 1 hour. 7. Mix a new batch of mortar at the normal consistency. 8. Apply the new mortar to the front of the crack using the margin trowel until it is flush with the rest of the wall. 9. Allow the mortar to dry for about 5 minutes. 10. Using the tuck pointer, the masonry brush, and your fingers, carve out small chunks of the mortar to mimic the texture of the stucco pattern. Dampen the brush and expose some of the sand in the mortar. Do this until the texture of the patch matches the texture of the rest of the wall. 11. Allow the mortar to dry and cure for about 3-4 weeks. 12. Once the mortar has cured, apply a masonry stain to it until it matches the rest of the wall. Resources: Mark points out that if a retaining wall is cracked or damaged, the best way to remedy the situation is to identify what caused the crack in the first place and eliminate that cause. However, in many cases, that type of solution won’t be practical for a retaining wall. To simply alleviate the symptoms, the materials required to repair a concrete retaining wall, including the trowel, masonry brush, and mortar are fairly straightforward and easy to locate at home centers. The masonry stain can also be found at home centers. If you bring a chip of the retaining wall with you to the home center, they should be able to closely color match the stain.

How to Deal with a Problem Student | Classroom Management
Need more resources for molding young minds?

Oftentimes, when a single student is being really problematic, for us as teachers, there is something in the way of that student feeling safe or feeling comfortable in the classroom, and that might have nothing to do with you and have everything to do with their home life or their experiences in classrooms so far, but we've inherited that student and that behavior and it is our job to try and work with them towards being more productive in the classroom. Let's start with the assumption that that student wants to do better, that that student wants to be appropriate, wants to behave, wants to be engaged, but there's something in the way of them being able to do that and let's help them move through that. The number one thing we can do for students like this, besides trying to connect with them personally or trying to create rapport with them, which then we can parlay into better behavior in the classroom, is to get super structured and clear with them about what is appropriate and what is not appropriate. If you have a student who is constantly breaking the same kinds of rules over and over, a chronic misbehavior, then we move to something really deeply structured, like breaking the cycle of misbehavior, which is something we talk about a lot in our book on conscious classroom management. Breaking the cycle of misbehavior means that you have a student who can't seem to stop doing the same repetitive negative behavior over and over again and oftentimes we address students like that by saying, "Sally, just stop doing that. Just do this instead. Just stop being that way." But they can't. A learned, chronic behavior is more complex than that. It's more difficult to break than just saying stop doing that. If you've ever battled an addiction or if you've ever had a chronic behavior you tried to break, when I was younger, I was incredibly sarcastic. All the time, sarcastic, and I didn't know it, because that's just the way I grew up and, when I was in college, one of my older friends pulled me aside at a party one day and said, "Gracie, nobody likes it when you are sarcastic. It is ugly and people don't like you." And I was devastated. I was devastated and, after I got over my devastation and I thought about it some more, I realized, wow, I am sarcastic all the time. I don't want to be that way. I don't want people to not want to be around me, so I'm going to stop and I woke up the next day and I was never sarcastic again. No, that's not even possible, but I wanted to wake up the next day. I wanted to never be sarcastic again, but it's not that easy to break a chronic or habitual behavior and it's not easy for our students either. So, when we're working with them, we want to use something structured. Generally, this has five steps. Step one, they've got to want to change. Now, this sounds more difficult than it is because if I pull Sally aside and I say, "Sally, do you want to keep getting in trouble for doing this particular behavior?" What if she says, "Yes," or, "I don't care." Then, I would say, "You know what, Sally? I hear you saying you don't care but let's work together as if you do care and see what happens." Assume the best. Everybody wants to do better. The second step is Sally has to know how to change, right? So, I have to go over with her what the correct behavior is and then, step three, she has to practice the change. So, if the problem behavior is that Sally is always the last person to get from her table group to the carpet, then we're going to practice that together. Not during class, but at recess or at lunch or after school, so she can feel what success feels like inside of that, and then we can practice that in class as well. The fourth thing is that she has to be aware of roadblocks to success. So, we have to have a conversation. "Sally, why is it that you're always the last person to be on the carpet when it's time to transition?" "I don't know." Okay, well, let's think about it and work towards figuring out getting her to say things like sometimes I don't hear when it's time to go. Sometimes, I'm distracted by my tablemates, so that we can work towards solutions towards those things. Step five, the last step of this br

How to Choose and Use Air Compressors
Ask This Old House general contractor Tom Silva explains how air compressors work. Click here to SUBSCRIBE to the official This Old House YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=thisoldhouse Cost: $100 and up Steps: 1. Tom shares a couple of tips for using and maintaining different air compressors. In general, he explains that proper usage of and proper maintenance of an air compressor will allow it work efficiently for a long period of time. 2. Before using any tool, check the recommended PSI label on the tool. Set the air compressor to that PSI using the output valve. 3. Change the air filter regularly, about once a month. If the air compressor has a belt or uses oil, be sure to keep an eye on their condition and maintain them as needed. 4. At the end of every day, drain the air compressor of water using the spout at the bottom. Water naturally forms from compressing the air and it can cause the bottom of the tank to rust if left undrained. 5. Check each tool you plan to use with the air compressor to determine what size compressor you need. Tools with a small scfm can work just fine with a small, lightweight compressor. Resources: Tom discusses a variety of different air compressors that can be used for air tools. In general, he recommends making sure that the air compressor has enough PSI to handle all the different tools you plan to use with it. He also underscores the importance of both maintaining the air filter regularly and draining the air compressor every day to keep it lasting for a long time. All the air compressors and air tools Tom demonstrated in the segment, including the air sander, nail gun, and sprayer, can all be found at home centers.

Arlington Arts & Crafts | Details Make the House Beautiful: 3815
The journey of the Vermont marble continues from the cave to the counters. Richard watches as fabricator Roberto Martinez and his crew install the largest piece of marble at the kitchen island. Nothing says New England like a fieldstone wall. Kim, our landscape architect, calls for one that starts in the front yard and bends down along the driveway. Kevin finds Roger and his team laying the first giant stones for the wall. There is much more involved than just stacking rocks. Upstairs, Kevin finds Mark Pehrson hanging textured wallpaper over a wall that contains a secret door. What was once the master bedroom closet has now been switched to an upstairs foyer closet, but the homeowners want to cover it with a door that blends with the wall. In the basement, Richard looks at the finished radiant floor heating as well as a new state of the art air conditioning and supplemental heating system. The mechanical room wall is well organized and all hot water pipes, valves and pumps are labeled for the homeowners’ reference. Fresh air ventilation is needed in the super tight space and Richard explains how the system works. Finally, the dog gets her own door as Tommy and Kevin install an extra-large dog door in an exterior wall of the mudroom. Soleil stops by to give it a try.

Arlington Arts & Crafts | Shiplap for a Ship Shape House: 3814
Everyone is covering their walls with shiplap. Homeowners Emily and Nick love it too and want to finish their third floor with it. Kevin finds Tommy installing shiplap in Nick’s office. Outside, the landscape plan calls for a walkway from the front porch stairs down to the street. It will consist of brick pavers and granite steps. Kevin helps Roger’s crew lay the second set of steps, using reclaimed granite from a New England bridge site. The marble slabs that we saw being quarried in Vermont have made their way down to the shop of Roberto Martinez. Roberto works with Emily to find the best piece of the slab for the kitchen island and then he goes to work cutting it. Back at the house, Emily makes her final decision on the oak paneling in the living room. Originally, she and Nick wanted to refinish the paneling. Then they decided to paint it white. Now Emily and designer Jill Goldberg meet with painter Mauro Henrique to review the paneling once more after the old finish has been stripped off. In the new family room, mason Mark McCullough builds the cast stone mantel surrounding the new fireplace. The decorative mantel was fabricated in Texas and shipped to the house in pieces. Mark and Kevin put the pieces together.
How to Deal with Your Child's Phobias | Child Anxiety
No child should suffer depression and anxiety without help, seek professional help for you and your child and here’s some resources for educating yourself along the way: Freeing Your Child from Negative Thinking: http://amzn.to/1jOAGeu How To Get Unstuck From The Negative Muck: http://amzn.to/1Pj1b7O Depression and Your Child: A Guide for Parents and Caregivers: http://amzn.to/1LiG97G What to Do When You're Scared and Worried: A Guide for Kids: http://amzn.to/1jOAOuH What to Do When You Worry Too Much: A Kid's Guide to Overcoming Anxiety: http://amzn.to/1JThS2M Watch more How to Deal with Child Anxiety & Depression videos: https://ift.tt/2BQfsIG [I'm gonna talk about how to deal with your child's phobias. Now phobias we always think about maybe as an adult being, "I'm scared of heights," or, "I have a phobia or fear of elevators." Well, children can actually develop phobias as well. It's when their anxiety or fears are extreme. What happens with a phobia is when you're so worried about something, you avoid it. It becomes something that you're phobic about, so you don't want to go near it. And what happens is sometimes you have a reaction that signals there's something terrible that's going to happen. Your body gets into this state of hyper awareness or your heart is racing, or your palms are getting sweaty, or you're breathing fast. And when that happens, your body is saying, "Oh, something dangerous is going on," or, "Something dangerous is happening out there." The reality is it's not and so your body is overreacting in some ways. And sometimes your mind is then also saying, "This is dangerous. This is terrible. Something bad will happen." Now sometimes kids outgrow phobias. Sometimes what will happen is kids will become so scared of something that they avoid it, or they avoid things related to it, or they avoid situations where they might be near it. Maybe it's bugs or spiders, or maybe it's cartoon characters, or clowns. But what happens when it's a problem is that it interferes with their life. So they're not going places because they're afraid that they'll interact with whatever that thing is. And when that happens, you need to sometimes get professional help to figure out a way to gradually help that child be around, or with, or exposed to the thing that they're scared of, learn how to control their thoughts and their feelings. And then they will find out that it's not so scary, and that they in fact can manage their fears and they won't have to avoid different things. And they can live a much fuller life.

Arlington Arts & Crafts | Decorative Touches Make a Difference: 3813
There are many new decorative elements on the outside of the house - including a small roof detail supported by two brackets on the side of the house. Tommy assembles the roof on the ground first, doubling up the fascia for extra support. After he installs the second bracket, a lift helps to raise the roof into place. Upstairs on the second floor, Emily and painter Rosemary Dewees introduce Kevin to the technique of Lazure painting – a watercolor style of painting interior walls. Using multiple brushes and buckets, Kevin finds that it’s not as easy as it looks. The beautiful front door has seen better days. The homeowners ask master restorer Wayne Towle for help refinishing the oak veneer. Kevin visits his shop to see how it’s done. Downstairs, Tommy installs wood paneling in a corner of the living room that once housed a bookshelf. Even though it’s being painted white, he uses solid oak to match the existing wood grain paneling. Outside, Roger plants screening trees that Emily and landscape architect Kim Turner selected earlier in the season.

How to Handle Being Angry at Yourself | Anger Management
Want to get a grip on your Anger? Check out these resources: Beyond Anger: How to Free Yourself from the Grip of Anger: http://amzn.to/1VFo0CA The Anger Workbook: http://amzn.to/1FXmxpi Anger Management For Dummies: http://amzn.to/1VFokRC The Cow in the Parking Lot: A Zen Approach to Overcoming Anger: http://amzn.to/1QZTMcb Anger Management for Everyone: Seven Proven Ways to Control Anger: http://amzn.to/1Om49ro Watch more Anger Management videos: https://ift.tt/2BJ3VLq I'm Dr. Ryan Fuller and I'm going to address how to handle being angry at yourself. So this is a question that, in fact, comes up a lot clinically, but there hasn't been enough scientific attention given to anger management when the target of the anger, in fact, is the self. So if we think about the typical ABC model for anger, where A is an activating event like, you know, "I spoke really disrespectfully to my mother or my romantic partner." B is the belief about what I did, but also about myself where I might think, "I shouldn't have done that. I really should be nicer after all she's done for me." And then oftentimes, there's a judgment or a global evaluation of my worth where I might think something along lines of, "I must be a horrible person for saying such a thing. I'm really disrespectful." And then the emotional consequence might be guilt, but it could also be in this case, anger at myself. So some particularly good interventions if we want to look along the cognitive lines are to challenge the Bs, to challenge our beliefs about the activating event and the beliefs we have about our self to see if they're, one, logical, two, if they're based in reality, and three, if they actually help us to feel better or function better. And so while it's a very, very good idea for most of us to be really respectful and kind and speak in that manner to our loved ones, nothing says we have to all the time, and that if we don't and we make a mistake, that we, in fact, become horrible people. So while negative emotions like self-anger can be important because they, in fact, punish the behavior itself naturally so we don't repeat it, the question is, even though it willed to the trick, is it necessary? Is it possible than instead of feeling that high degree of anger where I might be driving up my blood pressure and putting myself at risk for a heart attack, could I instead make a mistake, say something disrespectful, which is not something I want to repeat, have beliefs that are more logical and rational about the event, what I did, and myself, and lead to something where I might be annoyed with myself or experience regret instead of a high level of self-anger or rage? So the way to answer that question hopefully is to challenge those first set of beliefs. And here are some kinds of questions you can ask yourself to dispute those beliefs. So, where is the evidence that thinking I have to always be respectful, even if it's a good idea, where is the evidence that if I believe that I have to always be respectful that I will, in fact, be respectful? Where is the evidence that if I believe I have to be respectful, I'm going to feel better as a function of that? In fact, if you tell yourself again and again, "I have to be respectful. I have to be respectful. I have to be respectful." And then you catch yourself violating that, how are you going to feel? Well, you might feel really angry at yourself. I would recommend to a client that might be perfectly fine to keep that belief if that anger was the only thing that was going to change your behavior. But if you can change your behavior without it, why not let it go? Finally, how does it logically follow that if I am disrespectful one time or even many times that I, in fact, become a horrible person? Does that mean that if I behave respectfully five minutes later, suddenly I have become a wonderful person? Or would it be more accurate and probably more adaptive instead to rate my behavior? We're not saying the behavior is okay. By any stretch to the imagination is a very good idea to behave respectfully and kind and live your morals and values as much as possible. But if I tell myself I have to always, it doesn't make it so. What if I instead establish my goal is as much as possible and hopefully it will be always to live my values and behave respectfully? If I don't, it doesn't necessarily make me a bad person. It means I did a bad thing. And I can practice some form of self-acceptance while totally, totally rating the behavior as a problem and then actively taking steps to make sure that I don't repeat it. So I want to be clear. It's important to practice self-compassion, not to cut ourselves a break on the behaviors. We want

Testing the Newest Low Consumption Toilets
Ask This Old House plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey travels to a plumbing facility in New Jersey to learn about advances in toilet engineering that help save water. Click here to SUBSCRIBE to the official This Old House YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=thisoldhouse Steps: 1. A series of tests are performed on new designs of toilets to ensure they are achieving the goal of minimizing the water usage of toilets without compromising their cleaning and waste disposal abilities. 2. First, prototypes are created and tested to measure water usage. 3. Once the prototype passes a series of water usage tests, a real model is built and put through an additional series of tests. 4. One test measures the distance the low flow toilet is able to move waste material. 5. Another test measures the quantity of material, both big and small, that can be flushed down the toilet. 6. Another test ensures that the bowl remains clean after every flush. Resources: Richard toured the American Standard test facility (http://bit.ly/2muc3Vo). The toilet with two flush valves for better bowl cleaning is part of the VorMax collection.

How to Choose and Use Drill Bits
Ask This Old House general contractor Tom Silva explains the uses for different drill bits. Click here to SUBSCRIBE to the official This Old House YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=thisoldhouse Cost: $20 and up Steps: 1. The most common drill bit is a twist bit, or HHS bit, which can drill a small, uniform hole in a wide variety of materials. The coating of the bit will help determine exactly what materials the drill bit can withstand. 2. Spade bits are good for drilling out a large amount of material quickly, but it doesn’t leave behind the cleanest cut. It’s best used for jobs like rough electrical. 3. Forstner bits have a lot more control than a spade bit and leave a clean, even cut. Unlike with a spade bit, it can leave a flat bottom in the surface being cut, which is helpful if the hole isn’t going all the way through the material. 4. A countersink bit is good for drilling holes to accept screws. 5. Changing out the bits will depend on what kind of drill you have. If you have a drill with a keyless chuck, you can tighten and loosen the chuck to accept and release the end of the bit. In impact drivers, there’s only one standard end drill bit that the driver will accept, but it can easily be popped in and out of place. Resources: Tom discusses a variety of different drill bits that all serve specific purposes. In general, consider the size of the hole that needs to be drilled and what material the whole needs to be drilled into. This will help you determine which drill bit will work best for your project. All the drill bits Tom demonstrated, include the HHS bit, masonry bit, spade bit, and forstner bit, can all be found at home centers.

Arlington Arts & Crafts | Underground Energy: 3811
The homeowners have always wanted to remove a service pole at the front of their property. The electric company has finally given them permission to bury the service from down the street. Today Jimmy McLaughlin’s crew and electrician Scott Caron start the process. At the front of the house, Norm helps Charlie build the flared porch columns. They use computer pre-cut plywood to make the curved shapes. Months of construction work has left the landscape around the house a total disaster. Kevin finds Roger rebuilding the yard starting with laying a new brick patio. First they look at different pattern options, then, once the area is prepped, they start laying out the brick. The kitchen cabinets were fabricated at a shop in Maine. Today they are delivered to the project. Kevin meets the installer, Erik Frey, to watch his one-man process for installation. The architect calls for decorative half timbers and stucco to accent the front gables that were previously shingled. PVC has been chosen for its resiliency. The trick for Tommy is to properly flash the decorative pieces. Kevin helps Tommy with the installation.

The major number system has been around for about 400 years. It was tweaked for a couple hundred years and, really, it's been the same for the last 200 years. It's very popular. It continues to be and that's because it works. I can't go through the entire system now, but I can show you the basics of it. It's a matter of taking consonant sounds, turning them into letters, which become words, words can become pictures, and throughout all of good memory instruction, focus and picture are the important things. So, let me just briefly show you what the sounds are and then I'll just give you one or two examples. The sounds, the consonant sound for the number one is either the sound of the letter T or the sound of the letter D. The sound of the number two is the sound of the letter N. It's not the letter N, it's the sound of the letter N. The sound of the number three is M. You'll see this material all throughout the web, if you want to go to PowerfulMemorySecrets.com. I have a link there on the lower right that will give you the same list and a little bit more information. For now, I'm just explaining a little bit about the system. I can't show you how to work it entirely, but it's well worthwhile, as all of my classes will attest. Let's just take those first three sounds. One, T and D. First question. Why is there a letter from the end of the alphabet and a letter from the beginning of the alphabet and they're both the number one? Well, we're not dealing with letters. We're dealing with sounds. So, what I want you to do, if nobody's around and can see you, is form your mouth to say T, but don't say it. Just form your mouth and your lips and your teeth and your tongue as though you're about to say T. Now, do the same thing for D, the sound of the letter D. T, D. It's exactly the same, one is just a little bit more explosive. That's why those two things that seem to be unconnected are connected when we're dealing with sounds. The question is, how can we make use of this? Well, if we can create a picture, then we can create something memorable. So, let's say I had to remember the number 321. I wanted to remember it because my favorite baseball player is Albert Pujols. His career batting average, as of this recording, is 321. Pretty darn incredible. Look at the chart. Three, M, two, N, one, can be T or D. Mint can be 321. You'll notice 321 can also be minute. It could also be minute. It could also be mound or minuet. It doesn't matter. On the way back to the number, all of those come back to 321. My picture is me walking down the street and I look in a pool hall and who's shooting billiards, but my hero, Albert Pujols and I want to go in there. I want to get his autograph and I rush to the door and I can't get in the pool hall. You know why? There's a big candy mint in the door. It's blocking my way. I can't get around that mint. I'm not going to say those words. I'm going to see that picture. I'm going to see the picture of myself struggling to get in that door and I can't because of that mint. Mint. M-N-T. 321. Oh, yeah. That's his career batting average. That's how we use it. That's the short version. The long version is available in my book, "Secrets, Tips, and Tricks of the Powerful Memory." It's available in my CD set and yes, it's available in many other good books as well.

Arlington Arts & Crafts | Arts and Crafts from Top to Bottom: 3809
The project’s old front porch was a hodgepodge design - part permanent, part temporary. Kevin finds Tommy framing the new front porch using custom cut and assembled rafters. The new design puts an Arts and Crafts punctuation mark on the front of the house. Nick and Emily have chosen special marble from Danby Vermont for their countertops. Richard travels to the world’s largest underground quarry where the stone originates to find out how marble makes it’s way from inside the mountain to inside the kitchen. Emily wants the new exterior color of the house to fit in with the Arts and Crafts design. She has brought in a preservation specialist, Sally Zimmerman, to help with the color selection. Norm catches up with them to find out what they have decided. Stucco panels are part of the Arts and Crafts charm of the project house, but they need work. Mark McCullough, in the process of fixing panels, shows Kevin the lost art of stucco.

How to Paint a Mold Resistant Bathroom
Ask This Old House painter Mauro Henrique paints a bathroom using a mold resistant paint. Click here to SUBSCRIBE to the official This Old House YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=thisoldhouse Time: 5-6 hours Cost: $50-$100 Skill Level: Beginner Tools List for Painting a Mold-Resistant Bathroom: Vacuum Paintbrush Paint roller Shopping List: Antimicrobial paint Painters tape 220 grit sandpaper Masks Rags Bucket Roller tray Steps: 1. Use painters tape to protect any tile that’s against the surface being painted. 2. Lightly sand the walls with 220 grit sandpaper. Wear a mask while sanding. 3. Suck up the dust from sanding with a vacuum and then wipe the walls down lightly with a damp rag to remove the remaining dust. 4. Pour the antimicrobial paint into a bucket. 5. Use a paintbrush to cut around the edges of the wall with the new paint. 6. Paint the rest of the wall using the roller and the roller tray filled with paint. 7. Allow the first coat to dry and then apply a second coat. Resources: To prevent mildew from forming on bathroom walls, Mauro points out that it’s important to keep the shower vent clean and use it for at least 30 minutes after a shower. If mildew appears, take a bucket of water with a small amount of bleach in it, dip a rag into the bucket, and gently clean the walls to avoid damaging the paint. Mauro painted the walls with Behr Marquee interior paint in Gray Shimmer with an eggshell finish (http://bit.ly/2SuAirq). The paint is mildew resistant. Mauro applied two coats to ensure even coverage. The other materials Mauro used for this job, including the paint brushes, tape, trays, and drop cloths, can all be found at home centers.

Arlington Arts & Crafts | A New Look to Match the Old: 3808
Demo of the old walls for the addition revealed a hidden doorway to the kitchen from the main hall. Norm and Charlie tackle the job of opening up the old entry way. The homeowners have a beautiful design plan for the new master bath, but it presents a classic plumbing problem. Richard shows how the open space below the bath must be traversed by drain and vent pipes. There are several distinctive features that will change the front of the house. The roof on the front porch has a special shape, as do the brackets on the side of the house. To create the elaborate cuts required for these features, Tommy’s team turns to a special shop that creates them with computerized cutting machines. Norm gets a tour of the shop and sees the brackets and porch rafters in the making. Back at the jobsite, electrician Scott Caron gets started with his work in the first floor powder room where he installs a ceiling fan, and gets ready for switches and outlets. The living room had three single pane windows that did not open. Nick and Emily want to replace them with double hung windows that fit with the Arts and Crafts style of the house. Today Tommy and Charlie are putting in new energy efficient windows.

So, you can squat down, then keep moving it around. Something like that. Just make up your own routine. I'll give you a little routine, walk you through it right now. We're just bouncing around shifting our weight forward and back here. Then every ten seconds you're going to add a squat. So, bouncing around, add a squat. Bouncing around, add a squat. Just like that. Now you can step it up, and we can add a kick to that squat. Bouncing around, add a squat, and then a kick. Then again, bouncing around, add a squat, with a kick. So, all these kinds of things, you can mix it up, have fun with it, be creative with it. You can look at favorite moves or something, favorite kicks, and just incorporate it into that whole cardio kickboxing type bit. You can do a little kick with a lunge. So, you can kick with that back leg, step down, touch down. Kick, and down. Kick, and down. Just like that. Any of these things will definitely get your heartrate going, definitely bring that cardio aspect, but will still target the butt. So any kind of kicking exercises incorporated with some squats and lunges. And that's how you do cardio kickboxing for a sexy butt.

How to Recreate the Look of an Antique Closet Door
Ask This Old House general contractor Tom Silva travels to Pittsburgh to replace a bi-fold closet door with one that is more appropriate for the house Click here to SUBSCRIBE to the official This Old House YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=thisoldhouse Time: 6-8 hours Cost: $800 Skill Level: Moderate Tools List for Replacing a Closet Door: Drill Miter saw Level Measuring tape Screwdriver Shopping List: Pre-hung door Reproduction door hardware 2x4 studs Framing screws Shims Steps: 1. Start by removing the old door from the closet opening. 2. Measure the width of the door opening and order a door that size or smaller, to make it easier. 3. Cut the 2x4 studs to length and then secure them to the sides of the door opening using framing screws and the drill. Use additional 2x4s or rip down additional stock as needed until the opening is roughly 2” wider than the width of the door. 4. Check the opening for level at the top and plumb on both sides. If it’s slightly off plumb on the sides, that can be corrected with shims. 5. To make sure the header stays level, hold the level at about eye level and make two reference marks on both sides of the rough opening. 6. Measure from the reference mark to the header on both sides of the opening. Transfer the measurement of the shorter side to both sides of the jamb on the pre-hung door. This will make the door level. 7. To get the correct height for the jamb, measure from the reference lines on the rough opening down to the floor on both sides. Then, measure from the reference line on the jamb to the bottom of the jamb. If the jamb is longer than the measurement from the opening, it will need to be cut. 8. Cut the jamb to length based on the reference measurements. 9. The door may also need to be cut down slightly to allow the door to swing properly. 10. Remove the door from the jamb. 11. Hold the jamb into the rough opening and line up the reference marks from the jamb and the rough opening. Be sure that the edge of the jamb is flush with the face of the wall. 12. Slide shims behind the door jamb on the hinge side so that it has a roughly even gap as the other side of the jamb. 13. Predrill some holes in the jamb and the rough opening. Then, secure the jamb to the opening with framing screws. 14. Hold the level against the edge of the jamb just screwed into the opening. Once the level is plumb, pull the jamb out as much as necessary to meet the level, add shims behind the jamb to hold it in that position, and screw it into the rough opening the same way as before. 15. Rehang the door in the jamb to check how it swings before securing the rest of the jamb. 16. Secure the striker side of the jamb to the rough opening using the same method. 17. To even out the gap between the door and the jamb, add shims to the middle of each side of the gap between the jamb and the rough opening. This should push the jamb inwards, closer to the door. Secure those shims with screws. 18. Install the reproduction door hardware to the door using a screwdriver and the pieces that come with the hardware. 19. Add a door casing to the outside of the door frame to give it a finished look. Resources: The 5 raised panel pre-hung door Tom installed is manufactured by JB Sash & Door (https://www.jbsash.com/). The reproduction hardware Tom used is a Putnam Classic Interior Door Knob set in oil-rubbed bronze, manufactured by Rejuvenation (http://bit.ly/2jwplm5).

Arlington Arts & Crafts | To Paint or Not to Paint: 3807
The homeowners want a unique look for their kitchen. They think a custom range hood will fill that vision. Kevin visits the shop of Ed Packard, otherwise known as the Tin Man, to find out how the range hood is coming together. The original chimney has seen better days and needed to be demo’ed. Kevin goes up on the roof to watch Mark McCullough build a new one. Nick and Emily need to make some design choices in order to move construction along. Kevin finds Emily and Jill Goldberg, the designer, in the new family room discussing options for the fireplace. They want to somehow hide the television, which will be over the fireplace. Other decisions to make are tile for the first floor powder room and whether to paint the wood panels in the living room. Up on the third floor there’s a small problem that Norm and Charlie Silva need to figure out. All the way down in the basement, both the original floor and new slab floor are being coated with a speckled epoxy.

How to Create a Secret Garden
Ask This Old House landscape designer Jenn Nawada cleans up an overgrown garden and redesigns it as a secret garden. Click here to SUBSCRIBE to the official This Old House YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=thisoldhouse Time: 6-8 hours Cost: $3000 Skill Level: Moderate Tools List for a Secret Garden: Pruners Shovel Tarp Steps: 1. As with any overgrown garden, start by removing all the weeds and pruning back plants you intend to save. 2. Loosely define a general path with multiple entry and exit points throughout the garden. 3. Pick a few different places in the garden to act as “destinations” for people to experience as they walk along the path. Some examples of destinations include benches, large shrubs, and small ponds. 4. Use plants to lead from the paths to those destination spots to highlight them in the garden. 5. Pick plants of varying heights, colors, and textures to give the garden a nice visual impact. Resources: In Jenn’s opinion, a “secret garden” landscape design requires elements that allow a person to experience and participate in the garden. Elements like walkways, entrance/exit points, and destinations within the garden are all key elements to a good secret garden design. Like with many of Jenn’s landscape designs, she relied heavily on elements of the garden that were already in place, though most of the things she reused can also be found at garden centers and nurseries. Throughout the garden, Jenn used a variety of plants, including sedum, Cherokee brave dogwood, sempervivum, stonecrop, hen & chicks, lavender, provence, Hakone grass, blue jean baby Russian sage, and witch hazel. In Destination 2, Jenn planted some thornless dwarf blackberry bushes and some Indian summer raspberry bushes. In Destination 3 by the pond, Jenn planted a Tamukeyama Threadleaf Japanese Maple. All of these plants can be found at nurseries. Expert assistance with this segment was provided by Yard Works, Inc. (http://yardworksri.com/) and Nawada Landscape Design (http://bit.ly/28YHZAi).

Good Anger vs. Bad Anger | Anger Management
Want to get a grip on your Anger? Check out these resources: Beyond Anger: How to Free Yourself from the Grip of Anger: http://amzn.to/1VFo0CA The Anger Workbook: http://amzn.to/1FXmxpi Anger Management For Dummies: http://amzn.to/1VFokRC The Cow in the Parking Lot: A Zen Approach to Overcoming Anger: http://amzn.to/1QZTMcb Anger Management for Everyone: Seven Proven Ways to Control Anger: http://amzn.to/1Om49ro Watch more Anger Management videos: http://bit.ly/2HYv2HN Hi, I'm Doctor Ryan Fuller. I'm going to talk to you a little bit about good anger versus bad anger. So anger is considered to be a negative emotion. At the same time it's important to recognize that all emotions evolved with a function. They had to provide some survival value. And while it's clear, probably, about how anger and aggressive behaviors might perhaps warn, or even intimidate a particular rival, how that might have served us in some situations, it may not serve us in every situation today, when often times our triggers are things like financial stress or an unpleasant employer, or a traffic jam. At the same time though, even though there are lots and lots of people that I see with dysfunctional anger who engage in all kinds of self sabotage, where the anger in fact ends up being bad because of their behaviors. They're also plenty of examples where anger isn't quite adaptive, even in today's world. So I'll give you a few examples of the kinds of things that it does and how you might see those manifest. So first, anger typically alerts us or warns us of a potential danger or threat or injustice and so oftentimes, especially if we've been brought up being incredibly polite and considerate, we may have a really difficult time recognizing when someone might be taking advantage of us, or some injustice is actually taking place. So anger is something that sort of alerts us or warns us that something might be going on that is wrong. The second is it motivates and energizes us. So just as it can provide energy to fight off a predator or a potential rival, it also activates us and can motive us, over time, to carry out something that might take behaviors again, and again, and again, to carry through for a longer term goal. So we can imagine certain political activities requiring something like that or community service. One of the examples I used the most in writing in fact is 'Mothers Against Drunk Driving. Certainly it makes perfect sense why these women had high, high level of anger, but it took years for them to begin to build the kind of consensus and political awareness to change laws across this country. So while anger can be self destructive. depending on the behaviors that follow, it's also something that alerts us and motivates and energizes us and can, in fact, drive plenty of adaptive behaviors when it's utilized in that way.
