Only the best liquid color pigments are used in the manufacture of this product. Physical Performance: The Jacobsville Designer Series exceeds the requirements of ASTM-C90 for strength and absorption.

The ability to manufacture this product in so many shapes and sizes had made the product user friendly with architects, builders, developers and owners. ![]() After years of testing, Superior Block has been able to consistently match the Jacobsville sandstone’s soft red tones and has developed a product line that includes a variety of shapes and sizes in both full and half high configurations. General: The Jacobsville Designer Series was developed as a substitute for the sandstone found near Jacobsville which was a popular construction material that was quarried from Michigan’s Copper Country. The soft red tones match the natural beauty of this Lake Superior geological color and provide the designer with a smooth sand finish. RedStone is a masonry unit produced with the colors and aggregates designed to simulate the smooth architectural pieces crafted by the artisans at the Jacobsville Quarry. These units are available in full high 4″, 10″, 12″, or half high 4″ veneer. The wall is filled with a spectacular shadow effect throughout the soft red tones of the masonry using multiple splitters during the fabrication process. Jacobsville RockStone is produced to give the designer the look of the Jacobsville Quarry’s non-processed stone but at a cost effective price and with quick availability. In Michigan’s Copper Country and throughout the Midwest, thousands of fine examples of Jacobsville sandstone exist on large family homes, churches, city halls and libraries, to name a few. Jacobsville BlockStone gives the designer endless creative flexibility as the units are available in full or half high. The soft red tones of the masonry unit have been specially blended from aggregates and color which match the uniqueness of this Lake Superior quarry. This architectural masonry unit is produced with a split face and is designed to simulate the sandstone blocks cut from the Jacobsville Quarry.

My opinion is probably partly influenced by the fact that in my native language, Finnish, they are basically non-existent. I just don't really get it - like, at all. In the vast majority of cases, I'm not into it. But I'm not that bothered by them either. I'm not crazy about a lot of alternative spellings, like Ashleigh, Jaxon, etc. It's very much like your example of Jo v Joe. Heck, even my middle is extremely common and has the most common spelling. It's just not a big deal to me and I'm pretty sure that my name was never a reason not to get hired or anything like that. I dropped the middle a few years ago and even though it can be pronounced as a noun (and I'm ok when people say it that way), still most people get it right.

Play Forty Thieves Solitaire Online for Freeįorty Thieves is a Solitaire game that uses two decks or 104 cards. ![]() ![]() ![]() It was assuredly on the "Ten Commandments of Fantasy Football" that Matthew Berry was given on that mountaintop so many years back, but the notion does continue to bear value. Now this is the part where I say, "you should always know the scoring system" of any league you enter. It's really all about how your league wants to value the different contributions to the game that each statistical achievement represents. IDP fanatics are often proud of the more underground nature of the format, and a part of that identity is the personalized and specific settings that make up their gaming experience. Some good work has been done in the quest for an ideal and universal scoring format for IDP leagues, but we nay just have to accept that variety will often trump conformity. It can seem complicated at first glance, but it's a reality of the format that variation in scoring systems is the rare constant. A strip-sack fumble recovery for a touchdown mega-play by your top defensive lineman? The point total on that play might just break a laptop or two in some leagues. It's common to find groups of managers who view sacks as highly influential plays and believe getting to the quarterback should be handsomely rewarded. The real strategic differences come into play when these stat categories are weighed differently from league to league, such as a six-point interception reward that equates stealing possession with a touchdown. Some leagues also acknowledge pass deflections, tackles for loss and even the sum of "stuff yardage" - the yards lost by a runner on a given tackle for loss. You'll have a hard time trying to find a consensus scoring legend or "standard league" settings among IDP leagues, but there are some conventions we find like how the vast majority of leagues recognize standard defensive stats such as tackles, sacks and turnovers. Let's delve into the different ways these leagues can be structured and just how we might best navigate these variations on our way to the fantasy playoffs. ![]() From scoring modifiers to roster blueprints, each IDP league seems to be a little different than the next. Instead, I'm here to discuss the variety of ways you can enjoy managing and competing with imaginary defensive rosters. But this isn't a verbose pitch that argues how this side of the pillow is cooler because it encompasses the other side of the ball and offers a more complete fantasy football experience. It's more than likely that you are quite familiar with the IDP format, but check out our strategy guide to becoming a full-fledged defensive nerd for a quick refresher. To make a more transformative shift than just a few draft or keeper tweaks, one of the best ways to differentiate your fantasy football resume is to play in an individual defensive player league (IDP). Mostly it's a series of well-intentioned insults, but every few offseasons we actually get together and augment the format a little bit, and it has undoubtedly improved the health of the league. Internally, in the midst of deeply personal trash talk on the league message board, we are debating whether to add a keeper element or switch to an auction draft from the traditional winding snake. ![]() You have reached a degraded version of because you're using an unsupported version of Internet Explorer.įor a complete experience, please upgrade or use a supported browserĪ decade into my favorite league, it feels like time for a change. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Stickies application currently supports the following usage scenarios: In macOS Big Sur, the icon has been changed to look like a stack of sticky notes in a rounded square design.
