Tamara Mellon Taps Karlie Kloss, Rie Rasmussen
When Tamara Mellon decided to get back into the fashion action after leaving Jimmy Choo, it wasn't going to be business as usual. In hopes of bringing the thrill back to shopping (she blames fashion fatigue on universal access to runway photographs as well as the months between the shows and the arrival of clothes in stores), Mellon has opted out of the catwalk. More importantly, she's opted out of the idea of selling winter coats in July and bikinis in January. The plan is to make bimonthly shipments of buy-now, wear-now clothes to department stores (we have it on good authority that her first delivery to Bergdorf Goodman is selling at a brisk clip), and to very quickly ramp up her own boutiques and e-commerce platform. By way of introduction, she's just produced a short movie, enlisting model-turned-filmmaker Rie Rasmussen to direct Karlie Kloss. "We had so much fun shooting High Heels & Sharp Knives with Rie and Karlie," Mellon told Style.com. "Both are incredibly talented and completely capture the spirit of my woman. I cannot wait to see the reaction from the twist at the end." No spoilers here. Visit Mellon's Web site tomorrow to discover the twist for yourself, and watch an exclusive teaser only on Style.com.
An Early Glimpse at Tonight's Secret Victoria's Secret Model Lineup
Walking the annual Victoria's Secret extravaganza is a milestone in any model's career. After all, it's as much about lighting up the stage with your personality (not to mention dance moves—who could forget Jourdan Dunn doing the robot last year?) as it is about having a killer body, and being able to smile while strutting with a pair of thirty-pound wings on your back. While there's no way to confirm exactly who will be appearing on the VS catwalk this evening alongside Taylor Swift, we've come up with an educated guess based on social media clues gathered over the past week, as well as shots from yesterday's rehearsal (like the one above, featuring Sara Sampaio, Martha Hunt, Jasmine Tookes, and Leva Laguna working the runway).
Of course there are bound to be appearances by veteran Angels such as Adriana Lima (it will be her fourteenth time participating in the show), Candice Swanepoel, Alessandra Ambrosio, Behati Prinsloo, Doutzen Kroes, Lily Aldridge, Karlie Kloss, and Cara Delevingne. [Regrettably, Miranda Kerr announced she will be ending her contract with the lingerie megalith to pursue other projects.] Those aforementioned supers are all but givens at this point, and so it's the remaining twenty-plus coveted slots—selected by casting director John Pfeiffer—that really get us excited. Style.com has learned that several high fashion runway regulars will be making their VS debuts tonight: Sigrid Agren and Josephine Skriver (both posted snapshots of themselves sporting the official Angels bomber jacket on Instagram), as well as Ming Xi, Maria Borges, Kasia Struss, and Jac. We were even more thrilled to hear that some our top Spring '14 newcomers including Malaika Firth, Devon Windsor, Cindy Bruno, and Sara Sampaio also beat out dozens of more established girls to earn their first pair of wings.
Can Moda Operandi Fix Karlie's Fashion Heartbreak?
"It changed the way that I started dressing," reveals Karlie Kloss. The supermodel du jour is referring to a Steven Meisel photograph from the nineties, featuring supes of yore in decade-appropriate matching Chanel tweed miniskirts, jackets, and hats. For Kloss, it was the look that "got away."
Debuting exclusively above, The One That Got Away is a video series produced by online luxury retailer Moda Operandi, in partnership with St. Regis Hotels & Resorts, detailing fashion heartbreak—that one runway or editorial outfit that you just had to have but could never locate—and how the site can mend your sartorial melancholy.
In addition to the beauty from St. Louis, Moda Operandi has tapped an impressive roster of industry tastemakers to lend their own testimonials, including Anna Dello Russo, Caroline Issa, and Poppy Delevingne (you can also shop the ladies' latest fashion obsessions). Although, for these women, we'd imagine that the coveted and the wait-listed are never too far out of reach.
The Daily's Night
Friday evening, underneath the massive crystal chandeliers and amid the rococo decor of the Upper East Side's Harlow restaurant, fashion's boldfaced names gathered to dole out The Daily Front Row's first annual Fashion Media Awards. The vibe was touchingly familiar, with Tim Gunn introducing TV Personality of the Year Heidi Klum ("I met Heidi nine years ago, and I was a trembling, nervous, sweating, sputtering battling wreck—and I sustained that same demeanor for many, many seasons of Project Runway," he recalled), Marc Jacobs speaking for the Editor in Chief of the Year winner, Grazia UK's Jane Bruton ("She's the perfect combination of smart, bubbly, and fun—and from what I hear, sometimes a little too much fun," he joked), and Lady Gaga, in a frenetic finale, presenting Stephen Gan with his Fashion Magazine of the Year award.
Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele introduced Model of the Year, Social Media, Karlie Kloss, and reminisced about their first shoot together with Steven Meisel, while Jessica Biel and Elle's Joe Zee (winner of the Creative Director of the Year) joked about their "first time" (i.e., first cover) together in 2007, and the discovery of Zee's "sick hip-hop dance" moves in the years that followed. Later, Bruce Weber came to the stage to speak for longtime friend and Fashion Scoop of the Year winner Ingrid Sischy, who was recognized for her John Galliano feature in Vanity Fair. He was quick to emphasize the significance of the fact that—in the age of insta-everything—her story took two years to complete.
"I think it's actually a great thing to do a Fashion Media Awards, because fashion media really are a part of the business of fashion—and really help in shaping and creating the image of fashion," said Jay Manuel between texts to DVF ("Looking forward to that show!"). "The people who go behind the scenes typically need to have the spotlight shot on them, so people know who is behind the images."
Jessica Stam Joins the LPD Dream Team
What does Jessica Stam have in common with Karl Lagerfeld, Miuccia Prada, Riccardo Tisci, and Dries Van Noten? The model can now claim an LPD New York T-shirt boldly emblazoned with her last name and birth year ('86) in black. Last night, Stam and LPD founder Benjamin Fainlight hosted friends including Jennifer Fisher and Athena Calderone at The Jane hotel to celebrate the launch of the new "Team Stam" collaboration jersey that will benefit the catwalker's charity of choice, Many Hopes, which invests in sustainable community development in Kenya. One hundred percent of the proceeds from each shirt will go to the foundation. "My friend connected me with Stam and thought there was potential to use LPD and her shared platform to give back to a really great cause," Fainlight told Style.com.
Over the past year, LPD New York's novelty tees have developed a cult following with the street-style set, and Fainlight recently expanded beyond designers' names with the Artist Series, which includes Hirst, Pollock, and Warhol styles. Beginning with Team Stam, we think Fainlight is onto something with models—who wouldn't want to advertise their allegiance to Team Campbell, Team Moss, or Team Smalls? The designer hinted, "Well, I can't give away too much, but I might just have that same concept coming out with a prevalent online retailer [chances are it's Net-a-Porter] that has been amazing about supporting the brand and giving us a global stage." Building off of this idea, Stam suggested, "It would be neat if other philanthropic models like Liya Kebede, Christy Turlington Burns for Every Mother Counts, and Karlie Kloss for FEED got involved in another round of shirts."
A potential model series isn't the only project in the pipeline for LPD. On Friday evening, the label will stage its first NYFW concept presentation in conjunction with Conflict of Interest (known for its witty fashion T-shirts splashed with puns like "Ballinciaga" or "Ill Slander"). At the Spring '14 show, Fainlight will debut a full cut-and-sewn collection including tailored outerwear, knitwear, and trousers that reportedly focuses on unorthodox finishings and treatments. "I really wanted to play with the conventions of streetwear and incorporate high-fashion concepts," Fainlight said. "I think this new direction will show people that we're a lot more than a T-shirt brand."

->'''Nancy:''' ''But what if they meet a monster in their dreams, then what?''
->'''Glen:''' ''They turn their back on it. [[ImNotAfraidOfYou Take away its energy and it disappears]].''
->'''Nancy:''' ''But what happens if they don't do that?''
->'''Glen:''' ''I guess those people don't wake up to tell what happens.''
->''"Come to Freddy.''"
'''''A Nightmare On Elm Street''''' is a 1984 horror film by Creator/WesCraven, and the second feature film released by New Line Cinema.
Teens living in Springwood, Ohio are seeing nightmares about a burned man with blades on his fingers. After one of her friends dies during a nightmare like that, it's up to Nancy (Heather Langenkamp) to find out what's going on, and ultimately to confront it before she dies too.
The film was successful upon its release, as it saved New Line Cinema from bankruptcy and introduced world to the dream stalking Freddy Krueger, who would [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet return many times since]].
!This film provides examples of:
* EightiesHair: Exemplified by Glen and Nancy.
* AbusiveParents: Creator/WesCraven [[WordOfGod said]] in the DVDCommentary that the distance between parents and teenage children (particularly teenagers) is a major theme of the first film. For example, Nancy's parents are not just divorced from each other but emotionally disengaged from their daughter, regarding her teenage problems as trivial and refusing to take her nightmares seriously, and divorced from life in general - Nancy's mother is an alcoholic, and her father arguably a workaholic.
* AllJustADream: [[ZigzaggedTrope Zigzagged]] at the end of the film. [[spoiler:Nancy defeats Freddy when she realizes that all the events that transpired over the last few days were a prolonged nightmare. She wishes Freddy were gone, and walks outside, where it's a sunny day, her family and friends are fine, and she's about to go to school. Then Freddy takes control of the world again. It's not at all clear however exactly what is happening, whether this is a dream or reality, who is dreaming, or whether Freddy was real or not.]]
* AndStarring: JohnnyDepp's name is preceded by "and introducing", as it was his very first film appearance.
* AnswersToTheNameOfGod: Happens during Tina's second meeting with Freddy.
-->'''Tina:''' Please, God...
-->'''Freddy:''' ''This'' (holds up claw glove)...is God!
* BarrierBustingBlow: One of the traps devised by Nancy for Freddy is a sledgehammer that will hit him when he breaks through a door.
* BloodyHilarious: [[spoiler:The death of Glen.]]
* CatScare: Averted when Glen goes outside to investigate a noise and calls "Kitty kitty?" in hopes that it is this trope at work. It's actually the film's JerkWithAHeartOfGold who jumps out and scares him.
* ChairmanOfTheBrawl: When Nancy sees Freddy attacking her mother, she breaks a chair across his back.
* DaylightHorror: [[spoiler:At the end, we get a HopeSpot where Nancy firmly believes Freddy is dead and gone. It's an overly bright, clear day. She gets in a car, waves lovingly to her mother...then the car morphs into Freddy's signature colors and carts her and her friends off to their sunny, cheerful, and oblivious doom, while her mother gets pulled into the house by Freddy. The end.]]
* DeadlyBath: Double subverted. Nancy falls asleep in the tub and Freddy's bladed glove pops out of the water, but she wakes up in time for nothing to happen. When she dozes off again, he suddenly drags her under into a huge underwater space that he created with his dream powers, and she almost drowns.
* DeathBySex: [[spoiler:Tina dies after having sex with Rod.]]
* DecoyProtagonist: The film starts by following Tina, but switches to Nancy [[spoiler:when she dies.]]
* EnterStageWindow: Glen visits Nancy by climbing through her bedroom window.
* EurekaMoment: Heather realizing she pulled Freddy's ''hat'' into the real world.
* EvilPhone: Freddy calls Nancy to mock her on [[spoiler:Glen]]'s impending fate.
-->'''Freddy:''' I'm your boyfriend now, Nancy.
* FinalGirl: Nancy Thompson.
* {{Fingore}}: Freddy performs this on himself to show off to Tina.
* GainaxEnding: [[spoiler:Was the whole movie a dream? Did Nancy ever escape into the real world? Was that part a dream? Is her mother dreaming?]]\\
[[spoiler:Since Nancy shows up in ''[[Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet3DreamWarriors Nightmare 3]]'', and specifically says something about her friends being killed, this should technically resolve the situation. ''Should''. Watch the ending of the original Nightmare while knowing that Nancy survives, and it's ''still'' a WTF-y GainaxEnding.]]
** Maybe the part at the ending was [[spoiler:just a regular nightmare, not generated by Freddy?]]
* GhostButler: A door closes itself behind Nancy to signify that Freddy is still in the same room with her.
* GrievousHarmWithABody: Freddy clubs Ron with Tina while in the midst of causing her to float around the room.
* ImNotAfraidOfYou: Subverted. At the end Nancy says to Freddy "I take back all the power I gave you, Freddy!" and that he's not even real, so she shouldn't be afraid of him. [[spoiler:It seems like she defeated him, but he reappears not much later.]]
* IWantMyMommy: During the infamous bed scene [[spoiler:Glen]] started yelling for his mother to come in. Unlike most examples it wasn't funny.
* LadyDrunk: Marge Thompson starts hitting the bottle due to the stress of dealing with Nancy.
* LecherousLicking: Freddy wags his tongue out at Nancy.
* LockedIntoStrangeness: Nancy gets her SkunkStripe during the nightmare where she brings Freddy's hat from.
* MacGyvering: Nancy prepares for the climax by constructing various traps for Freddy.
* MadeOfIron: Nancy in the real world battle with Freddy.
* ManOnFire: Nancy sets Freddy on fire when she pulls him out of her dream and lures him to the basement.
* NoTimeToExplain: Nancy has a dream that she's seeing [[spoiler:her friend Rod]] being killed in the jail cell he's in. She wakes up and gets Glen to accompany her to the police station. They join up at Nancy's house and run to the police station. Nancy waits until they're entering the police station to tell Glen that she doesn't have any time to explain. What could they have been discussing the rest of the way there that was more important than the fact that [[spoiler:Rod Lane]] was being killed?
* NowILayMeDownToSleep: Nancy recites the prayer before going to sleep to confront Freddy.
* OffscreenTeleportation: Freddy pulls it on Tina when he's chasing her down a street, and appears before her when she looks back.
* OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank: [[spoiler:Glen becoming a blood geyser.]]
* ParentalAbandonment: It is mentioned that Tina's father has abandoned her and her mother.
* PunctuatedForEmphasis: Done when Nancy warns Glen over the phone.
-->'''Nancy:''' Whatever you do, don't - fall - asleep.
* ReadingsAreOffTheScale: Nancy has her dreams monitored by a brain-scan. The doctor notes that a "really intense" nightmare would read about seven...then watches in disbelief as it goes to 10, 15, 30...
* RevisedEnding: [[spoiler:Creator/WesCraven planned for the film to have [[EarnYourHappyEnding a happy ending]], but this was changed by the executives, and the DownerEnding (where Nancy's mother is killed, and Nancy's own fate is left ambiguous) was created.]]
* SelfMutilationDemonstration: Freddy says "Watch this!" to Tina before cutting his own fingers off, causing a strange green liquid to squirt from them. Later, he answers Nancy's "What are you?" by cutting into his own chest, revealing more green pus and what looks like maggots under his skin.
* ShoutOut: Nancy is seen watching ''Film/EvilDead'' on TV while trying to stay awake.
* SuperWindowJump: Freddy performs it through a mirror.
* SupernaturalProofFather: Donald Thompson doesn't take Nancy's warnings seriously as he believes that she is suffering from SanitySlippage.
* TearOffYourFace: Tina sort of does this to Freddy Krueger right before [[spoiler:she dies]]. The "sort of" is there because Freddy lets it happen to make himself even scarier, and it doesn't take.
* VomitingCop: And the ''coroner'' to boot.
* WindowPain: Freddy lures Tina outside from her house by throwing rocks at her room's window, with the last one nicking it.

Tweak to mimic the back button functionality
Hi there,
As we all know there is no physical back button in the iPhone. Do you know a tweak that can assign an activator action to do the back or previous button? I know of AppSlide but that is only if it opens a new app, not in the same app. I ask this because I'm thinking of upgrading to the iPhone 5 once the jailbreak is released, but I guess I'll have a hard time pressing the top left corner to reach the back button. If I could just assign an activator gesture that would be sweet. |

You know, I'm not a particularly photogenic person. The concept of angles and poses is like an arcane art which I never quite mastered. People tell me I look better in real life than in photos.
I was browsing through my photos from JB (the most recent one that I just came back from) and saw this photo of me and Jayne drinking in the hotel room at night. We were both in our PJs and Jayne had this priceless expression on her face which I found hilarious.
She's one of those people who's really photogenic – the camera just adores her. It's a great skill to have, but I guess it'll forever elude me…it's like how I can never style my hair properly unless it's done by a hairstylist. :x
6 Responses to "On being photogenic"
omg you were in jb? i thought i saw someone who looks like you at city square but i wasn't sure.
Hello there!
Yeah, I was in JB last week and also for the past two days. Heh. :)
JB City Square? Ya, I was actually there!
I think I was wearing a red shirt.
Okay, come say hello next time. :D
You look fine in pics…and just as good in person. Ok…so when are you going to give me a treat? LOL!!!
Haha! Thanks mate. ;)
I seriously don't mind not being photogenic.
I know guys who actually Photoshop pictures of themselves. :x
The first time I heard that a couple of years back, I was rather bemused.
I'll rather look horrible in photos and better in real life than the other way round. ;)
Hey, next time I'm in Sibu. I plan to fly back soon!
I'll give you a buzz and we can go makan. Cheers bro! :D
Sigh. only my sister is photogenic. It took me years to make the camera love me.
Heh! Well, I'm not photogenic either.
No worries, nothing wrong with that. :D
…at least the camera loves you now. ;)

A total of 50 nominations were received and 19 schemes were shortlisted. There were two winners and five commendations.

For the second time we have put the shortlist to the test of the community through the People's Choice Award. We received over 1,100 votes, around 25 percent more than in 2010.
This involvement from the community is a clear indication that the real winners of the Hackney Design Awards are the community who live, work or recreate in these amazing buildings and spaces.
This was a closely run race, but two schemes jumped ahead then fought a battle - constantly changing between winning and second in the last few days of voting. In the end Urswick School was the victor with the 2012 Handball Arena just a few votes behind. In recognition of this tightly run race we are awarding a winner and a runner-up.

text: New Tool Uses EHR Data To Deliver Personalized Health Care Monday, July 29, 2013 TOPIC ALERT: EHRs and PHRs Big Data Health Data Exchange You are currently receiving email alerts for SB 951 Please confirm that you would like to receive email alerts for SB 951 SUBSCRIBE UNSUBSCRIBE MANAGE ALERTS CONFIRM University of Notre Dame researchers have developed a computerized tool that uses electronic health records to assess personalized disease risk and well-being, Medical News Today reports. Details of the System The Collaborative Assessment and Recommendation Engine, or CARE, was created by Nitesh Chawla -- a computer science professor at Notre Dame -- and doctoral student Darcy Davis. The system captures patient similarities through EHRs and determines personalized disease risk profiles for individual patients (Medical News Today, 7/29). Implications At minimum, Chawla said the method can be used to generate reminders for physicians. At full capacity, he said CARE could be used to: Explore broader disease histories; Suggest previously unconsidered conditions; and Facilitate discussion about early testing, preventive actions and wellness strategies (Hall, FierceHealthIT, 7/26). According to Chawla, such functions could: Reduce readmission rates; Improve care quality ratings; Help demonstrate meaningful use of EHRs; Boost personal and population health; and Promote patient-centered care models (Medical News Today, 7/29).

Mathematical superstar and inventor of fractal geometry, Benoit Mandelbrot, has spent the past forty years studying the underlying mathematics of space and natural patterns. What many of his followers don't realize is that he has also been watching patterns of market change. In The (Mis)Behavior of Markets, Mandelbrot joins with science journalist and former Wall Street Journal editor Richard L. Hudson to reveal what a fractal view of the world of finance looks like. The result is a revolutionary reevaluation of the standard tools and models of modern financial theory. Markets, we learn, are far riskier than we have wanted to believe. From the gyrations of IBM's stock price and the Dow, to cotton trading, and the dollar-Euro exchange rate--Mandelbrot shows that the world of finance can be understood in more accurate, and volatile, terms than the tired theories of yesteryear.The ability to simplify the complex has made Mandelbrot one of the century's most influential mathematicians. With The (Mis)Behavior of Markets, he puts the tools of higher mathematics into the hands of every person involved with markets, from financial analysts to economists to 401(k) holders. Markets will never be seen as "safe bets" again.

Fresh from the Miami Masters!
As you may or may not know, we're currently down at Biscayne Bay for the 2012 Miami Masters!
I say "we", but not me personally, needless to say my colleagues in attendance have been making me a little jealous with their stories from the ground
The tournament has been running for more than 25 years, and ALWAYS attracts tennis' cream-of-the-crop – previous winners have included tennis legends, Martina Navratilova, Steffi Graf, Andre Agassi, Venus Williams, Pete Sampras and Roger Federer.
This year's tournament has been all thrills-and-spills so far; Andy Roddick recently defeated Roger Federer in the third round, and Serena Williams had to dig deep to defeat Sam Stosur in a rematch of the 2011 US Open final – keep up with all the action as it unfolds on Twitter.
That's not all – as the tournament launched last Monday, so did Virtua Tennis Challenge; the first ever mobile iteration of SEGA's famous franchise, acing exclusively onto Xperia, optimized for Xperia PLAY!
We've (as Sony Ericsson) sponsored the Miami Masters for many years, and during this upcoming finals weekend, we'll (Sony Mobile Communications) be announcing the new, future tournament name – I'll keep you posted on that right here on the blog!

First time here?
theCrag.com is a free guide for rock climbing areas all over the world, collaboratively edited by keen rock climbers, boulderers and other nice folks.
You can log all your routes, connect and chat with other climbers and much more...
Description © (mjw)
The left side of this crag gets sun an hour earlier than the Main Wall warmups, so the 23s & 24s here might be a better option for warming up if its too cold in the shade when you arrive.
Access issues © inherited from Bowens Creek
This crag is in a National Park. DOGS ARE NOT ALLOWED, simple as that. Dog owners are asked NOT to stuff things up for the rest of us; so just don't bring your dog. Camping also is not allowed.
Approach © (mjw)
The first area you come to if taking the cairned track on the left of the fire trail 25mins from the steel gate.
Ethic inherited from Blue Mountains
Mixed-climbing on gear and bolts has generally been the rule in the Blueies. Please try to use available natural gear where possible, and do not bolt cracks or potential trad climbs.
Because of the softness of Blue Mountains sandstone, bolting should only be done by those with a solid knowledge of glue-in equipping. A recent fatality serves as a reminder that this is not an area to experiment with bolting.
If you do need to top rope, please do it through your own gear as the wear on the anchors is both difficult and expensive to maintain.
It would be appreciated if brushing of holds becomes part of your climbing routine - do it with a soft bristled brush and never a steel brush!
The removal of vegetation - both from the cliff bases and the climbs - is not seen as beneficial to aesthetics of the environment nor to our access to it. Generally it's best to leave all this sort of stuff to the local climbers.

In South Africa, Disillusionment With The Party That Ended Apartheid (Khutsong)
(c) 2012, The Washington Post.
KHUTSONG, South Africa — The party that ended apartheid has begun to lose its appeal among black South Africans, many of whom have grown frustrated waiting for the "better life for all" promised when the African National Congress won historic multiracial elections 18 years ago.
The disenchantment with the ANC, to be sure, has been gradually building over the years. But it has intensified in recent weeks amid ongoing, and often violent, labor unrest that has spread across the nation since police killed 34 strikers at a platinum mine in August, the deadliest police action in post-apartheid South Africa.
In newspaper columns, on radio talk shows, blogs and social media, the ANC is facing a public outcry, accused of being corrupt, ineffective, wasteful and out of touch with the hardships faced by South Africa's impoverished masses. Even prominent anti-apartheid figures are publicly disparaging the ANC leadership, calling its credibility into question. Meanwhile, other critics, including senior ANC leaders, say the party is divided and facing a crisis of leadership, as President Jacob Zuma battles allegations of misuse of public funds to renovate his private residence.
"Now, the honeymoon is pretty much over," said Robert Schrire, a political analyst at the University of Cape Town. "What we are seeing is that the average black South African is no longer blindly loyal to the ANC. That person feels angry and betrayed."
When Nelson Mandela was elected South Africa's first black president in 1994, there was a burst of hope that a new era of equality was on the horizon. The ANC promised sweeping social change to redress the inequalities forged under apartheid, which oppressed non-whites through a system of racial separation enforced by harsh laws and police brutality to ensure the supremacy of South Africa's whites.
But for many black South Africans, the initial excitement has fizzled into disappointment as they struggle with high unemployment and a lack of housing, education, clean water and other services.
ANC officials say the party has improved the lives of millions and describe any divisions as a normal occurrence in such a large and diverse institution. "There is no leadership vacuum or paralysis within the ANC," said Keith Khoza, a senior party spokesman. "The ANC has no crisis of leadership."
Despite its problems, no one is suggesting that the ANC will lose its dominance over South Africa's political landscape anytime soon. But the anger and disillusionment, if they continue to grow, could trigger more protests and violence, potentially destabilizing the continent's largest economy. Already, the number of violent protests this year, mostly over land, inadequate housing and poor services, has grown dramatically from previous years.
As many as 80,000 miners, or 16 percent of the mining sector's workforce, are believed to be on strike, demanding better pay and benefits. Thousands more have already been fired. Meanwhile, thousands of truckers have also staged strikes, threatening supplies of fuel and food. South Africa's credit rating has been downgraded, mining stocks have plunged, and its currency, the rand, has weakened. Foreign investors are apprehensive.

My first trip down we stayed at POFQ. This trip in May we're staying offsite at Caribe Royal and i'm a lil worried with the whole bus deal
We have stayed at the POLY 6 times and the Grand Floridian once for a 2 night stay.
If I could, I would stay at the POLY during every trip to WDW.

thats cool
wilderness lodge is nice too
I've stayed at the Contemporary (numerous), Polynesian (but I was maybe 11 in 1990) and the Grand Floridian (numerous) for MK hotels. When I was little my dad would only stay in hotels on the monorail line. He thought it made the whole thing more tolerable...that and they sold drinks at Epcot. He was so awesome; he took me and my brother (with mom of course!) every year even though he hates stuff that's "cute."
Now, I'm an Epcot girl, so I've probably stayed at the Dolphin and Swan 20 times (about 3 times a year for the last 8 years, intermixed with Yacht and Beach Club, Contemporary and even the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress a time or two). They are my favorites because I can get and use my Starwood points!
I've also stayed at the Portofino Bay a couple of times too. Its really nice.
i stayed at a hotel close to the portofino bay
We've never stayed at a MK resort before. When I went the first time there weren't but a few hotels on site. I do remember being amazed when the monorail went through the Contemporary.
This year we are staying at the WL. I'd like to stay at the Poly one time. DH wants to stay at AKL.
thats cool
I have stayed at the Contemporary and GF. Last trip we tried Wilderness Lodge. What a beautiful place that was! I think it is my favorite. I have also stayed at POR, All Star Music, All Star Movies, and Pop Century. We will be trying POFQ in about 3 weeks.

This handsome ceiling fan offers modern styling with vintage appeal.
The Casa Largo ceiling fan features dark walnut finish blades and an oil-brushed bronze finish. This transitional design offers a perfect balance of style to fit into both vintage and modern decors. Includes a integrated light with frosted white painted glass. Includes 6" downrod. Rated for damp locations.
36" to 48" ceiling fans have airflow efficiencies ranging from approximately 71 to 86 cubic feet per minute per watt at high speed.
49" to 60" ceiling fans have airflow efficiencies ranging from approximately 51 to 176 cubic feet per minute per watt at high speed.
Money-Saving Tip: Turn off fan when leaving room
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
We are very happy with the fans and the lighting. It works well in the area we had them installed.
Negatives: Plastic/Molex connectors were not crimped/properly. Had to re-crimp these. Centering the blades is difficult, would be nice to have some alignment tabs/ holes to help align the blade during installation. Color is a little more red vs. the oiled bronze items you would get at your local hardware store. Positive: Looks good. Would have been 5 stars if not for aforementioned negatives.
This is a very attractive fan that I am using in my newly added hearthroom. I do wish that it came with a 12- or 18-inch downrod for my vaulted ceiling. My contractor hung the fan, so I cannot speak to the ease of installation.
Fan is fairly easy to install. Finding and installing the UW box to hold it in the ceiling was the hardest part, by far! Fan works great and is super quiet. Pull chains do rattle a bit at high speeds, but in the bedroom where we have it, the lowest setting circulates the air perfectly. It also looks great. Once I had it installed, a friend saw it and said, "I hate ceiling fans, but that one is really, really nice!". My daughter (20 months) like to sit on the floor and watch it go round and round, too.
The large size of this fan makes it great for circulating air in an outdoor location. The included light fixture is an added bonus.
The fan works great and is very quiet. The apperance of the wood blades is very nice. I am an engineer and so I am not new to figuring out how things fit together. But, these instructions were useless. I got it together fine, but I would not recommend for someone who is not mechanically inclined.

If I could get something done it would be cosmetic dentistry. Is have all my teeth pulled and pretty new permanent dentures put in. I hate my teeth. No matter how much I take care of them they still chip and break and just suck. It's caused me a lot of self hate. :/
Also I'd consider a tummy tuck and possibly boob lift.
I would have a breast lift - poor babies killed my boobs
Next I'd have a tummy tuck w/ lipo
I'm not against plastic surgery one bit..... the only thing I disagree with is some of the reasons behind the reason why women want it done and to what extremes they do it.
I'd LOVE my boobs to be fuller and my nose to be shorter but these are things I can live with.. I probably will never have either of these done.. I have never had ANY work done.
I would get a breast reduction. I'm a DDD(F) right now and I measured a G cup at Lane Bryant a few years back. I'd love to reduce my size majorly if at all possible. Lugging these things around is killing my neck and my back.

• Well, sure, it's easy to say "Get the ball to our best players" now. Dominant as Alabama's defense was on the other side, it was painfully obvious to everyone watching the BCS Championship Game that something was a little… off with LSU's offense, which gained 91 total yards, didn't cross midfield until the midway point of the fourth quarter and generally appeared indifferent to the concept of "scoring points" in a 21-0 rout. Turns out, it was painfully obvious to LSU players, too, according to tight end DeAngelo Peterson, who told the Mobile (Ala.) Press-Register Tuesday that the "plan" we saw on Jan. 9 bore no resemblance to the plan the Tigers had been practicing going into the game.
"The play-calling bothered the whole offense," Peterson said during Senior Bowl practice. "We felt like we had a good game plan that would work, that would help us do things, and I feel like the coaches didn'...

subfloor question
My house was built in 1999, I have noticed very little water damage in the master bathroom. I am pretty sure it came from years of water being splashed out around the edges. I have already pulled the sheetrock around the tub surround and pulled it out a little bit to see if there was any damage underneath it but didnt see any and cant see any from the crawl space. The size of the damage is about 6"x8" and is in the corner of the tub and nearby wall and about a 2" hole that I pushed through to see how strong it was.
I was wondering if I could just repair it from the crawl space underneath the house. I can get to the area easily. I was thinking about taking a small sheet of 3/4" plywood and place it between the joist and nail some supports between the joist to sandwich the plywood under the old subfloor and the 2x4's or 2x6's. Would be this be a acceptable repair or do I need to pull the tub/shower surround all the way out and repair it from the top. I am planning on tiling so it would be stronger after the backerboard and tile. Thanks guys! |
Red Blazer X:
The biggest problem that I'm having here is that all the tub surrounds I've ever seen stop at the top of the tub and don't extend below the top of the tub to cover the drywall beside the tub. That is, they look like this: http://www.bathtubsforyou.com/images...b-surround.jpg So, when you say you've got a hole in the floor, but you've pulled the tub surround away to check the drywall, then I'm thinking you're checking the drywall above the tub to see if it's wet. Quote:
If this is what you did, then doing that wouldn't really tell you anything. You see, a bathtub has a lip (about 1 inch high) that runs along the top of the front, side and back of the tub. You can see that lip in the following picture: http://www.rebathnm.com/images/repla...iberglass3.jpg The tub is pressed snug with the wall studs so that tub lip will (hopefully) be flat against the wall studs. When they install drywall or tile backer board or anything around the bathtub, they won't drop the drywall down in front of that lip, or at least they shouldn't. They will hang the drywall so that it extends down to a point about 1/8 to 1/4 inch ABOVE that lip like this: http://www.rd.com/images/tfhimport/2...g001_size2.jpg Notice that the bottom edge of the cement board is a short distance ABOVE the lip of the bathtub. The ceramic tiling in the drawing (or in your case, the tub surround) drops down in front of the tub lip and silicon caulk seals the bottom edge of the tiling (or tub surround). (Also notice that the drawing is wrong in that it says the tiling should drop down to 1/8 to 1/4 inch above the top of the tub. That's way too much. It's the drywall, greenboard, cement board or whatever that is fastened to the studs that should drop down to 1/8 to 1/4 inch above the tub LIP. The tiling should drop down to about 1/16 of an inch (or so) above the tub top. Having a 1/4 inch gap between the tile and the tub would mean you'd have to use an awful lot of silicone caulk to seal that joint, and that would detract from the appearance of the tiling. If it's an insulated exterior wall, the polyethylene vapour barrier behind the drywall will be stuck to the tub lip with accoustical sealant to form a moisture barrier around the tub. Even if it isn't an exterior wall, it's a good idea to have polyethylene behind the drywall or cement board just to act as a moisture barrier. They make waterproofing membranes (like Mapei's Kerdi) especially for this purpose, but it goes over the drywall or cement board. If there is any water penetration through the wall, (such as at penetrations for the faucet handles or tub spout) that water will dribble down the back side of the tub surround (or the back side of the drywall) and drip into the gulley formed by the tub lip, the top surface of the tub and the back side of the tub surround. Since that gully extends all around the tub, any water penetrating through the tub surround will flow around the tub in that gulley and come out where the lip ends at the front and/or back of the tub. The result is normally that the wall below the top of the tub at the front and/or back of the bathtub is water damaged, as well as the underlayment and/or subfloor in those areas. Since the water flows in the bottom portion of that gulley, well below the bottom of the drywall, you won't see any water damaged drywall unless it happens to be leaking in right where you pried the tub surround away from the drywall. If the leakage past the tub surround occurs somewhere else, the drywall where the tub surround has been pried away will be perfectly dry since the bottom edge of that drywall is about an inch or more above the water in the gulley. Quote:
If the wall is damaged right under where that gulley ends at the front and back of the tub, and you haven't seen too much water splashing on that wall from the tub, that's a pretty good indication that the wall is getting wet from behind because of water running along the tub gulley. That means there's water penetrating through the tub surround, probably around the faucet holes, or the silicone caulk at the base of the tub surround is leaking. If the 6X8 inch area and hole are in the floor, then most likely it's only in the underlayment, but it's possible that the subfloor has started to rot, too. Here's how they built my building (but there are probably other ways of building a floor): IN THE BEGINNING were the floor joists Over they floor joists is the subfloor, which is typically either 3/4 inch tongue and groove plywood or 3/4 inch thick pine 1X6 boards. Over the subfloor they build the walls typically out of 2X4's. Within each room, they install thin (1/4, 5/16 or 3/8 inch) plywood or particle board "underlayment" over the subfloor. (except in the bathroom. in the bathroom the tub goes in first and sits on the subfloor. the underlayment is cut to fit up to the tub.) Then they do everything else, including install the drywall and paint... Then they install the flooring over top of the underlayment in each room. It's been my experience in my building, that it's typically only the underlayment that rots when there's water leakage at the front or back of the tub, but I have seen the 1X6 fir boards of the subfloor start to rot. Quote:
Removing the underlayment will give you a good idea what condition the subfloor is in in those areas. If it's rotted, I'd give it some time to dry, scratch away any rotted wood, and if the remaining wood is still fairly thick, repair it with epoxy. http://www.leevalley.com/images/item.../56k0701s1.jpg The above kit is sold at Lee Valley, and most of what you get in it you don't need. However, they also sell the liquid epoxy and hardener separately as well as the paste epoxy and hardener separately. But, I think the whole kit costs a bit less than all 4 purchased separately. If the subfloor is rotted, I'd scrape away all the rotted wood you can find with a sharp paint scraper. Then, allow plenty of time for what's left to dry completely. Now, mix equal quantities of liquid epoxy and liquid hardener, and paint that mixture onto the wood you want the paste to stick well to. (That liquid will penetrate into the deteriorated wood and make it harder and stronger as it cures.) Before the liquid epoxy you painted on cures (in a few hours), mix up some paste epoxy and paste hardener, and apply that to replace the wood that has rotted away. Since the liquid epoxy hasn't completely cured, you should get cross linking between the liquid which has penetrated into the deteriorated wood and the paste epoxy, ensuring very good adhesion of the paste to the wood. The paste will dry to the strength and hardness of good wood, and you can sand/scrape it down so that it's flush with the surrounding subfloor (especially when it's still relatively soft before it fully cures). Apply several coats of the paste to get it flush with the surrounding subfloor. (Even if it's not perfectly flush, when you install the underlayment on top, then any good sheet vinyl will still install reasonably well over that area of the floor.) Then screw or nail your piece of underlayment down and install new linoleum (which is relatively easy). If it's not a traffic area, you could also get under your floor and drywall screw a piece of plywood to the underside of your subfloor where the damaged area is. Always remember that plywood is strongest in the direction of the grain of the OUTSIDE plies, so the grain of the outside plys should probably be parallel to the floor joists and just run the plywood out far enough on each side to screw into healthy wood. Swinging a hammer between floor joists can be difficut, especially when you're laying on your back. You could instead use an X-tra long 7/64 inch drill bit to predrill holes (and counter sink them with a countersink bit) using an angle drill to screw fir 2X2 cleats to the sides of the floor joists with 3 inch long drywall screws to support your piece of plywood. Not sure if this helps. |
If your tub surround extends down over the wall beside the tub, then removing that plastic won't allow you to repair a hole in the floor either. This is where a picture is worth a thousand words. |
The hole I have is at the bottom of the #3 in your second pic. My tub/shower is a one piece unit.
That is typical of where the water would leak out (and the wood would rot) if water were getting into the gulley behind a ceramic tiled tub/shower.
I really don't know where the water would go if water were leaking through your one piece unit at the holes for the faucet knobs or tub spout, but those are the potential leakage sites that I would check first. Take your handles and escutcheons off, and see if water can penetrate through the one piece unit through the faucet handle holes. Ditto for the tub spout. My understanding is that there are no seams in your one piece unit through which water could leak. To fix that, you'd normally plan on replacing your bathroom flooring, and replace any damaged subfloor and underlayment while the old flooring is out. |

Toshiba's first ultrabook to hit Best Buy for $900
It's been a lonely month for the Zenbook and Aspire S3, but the industry's first ultrabooks are about to get some company. Toshiba's Portege Z835 will soon be available exclusively through Best Buy for $900 -- $200 less than Asus' offering and $400 cheaper than Apple's baseline 13.3-inch MacBook Air. Despite its more affordable price tag, Toshiba's ultra-thin notebook has plenty to offer. In fact, it has a leg up on Asus and Acer, according to Laptopmag.
The 13.3-incher has a sleek brushed-metal lid and makes liberal use of clean lines and greyish hues to achieve a design of "understated elegance." It carries a 1366x768 display, a 1.4GHz Intel Core i3-2367M processor, 4GB of RAM and a Toshiba-branded 128GB SSD. Unfortunately, the flash drive isn't as snappy as you might like with sequential read and write speeds (185MB/s and 49MB/s) that aren't much better than your bog standard 7200RPM hard drive.
While its SSD won't be shattering any records, the Portege fares well in the mobility department. It weighs less than its immediate competition at 2.4lbs and its battery life outperforms the Zenbook and MacBook Air, fetching nearly seven hours when browsing the Web over Wi-Fi. Like other ultrabooks, the Portege's battery is sealed inside so you can't carry a spare. Connectivity includes USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports, VGA and HDMI-out, a card reader and Ethernet.
Unfortunately for Intel and its partners, ultrabooks have kicked off to an underwhelming start. Earlier this month, industry sources said that Asus and Acer expected to ship about 100,000 units each by the end of 2011 -- a third of their original target. According to the latest details from DigiTimes, Asus and Acer have since responded to the lower-than-expected demand by reducing ultrabook orders by 40%. Both companies are confident in the platform for the long-term.
