First Look at Arrow's Huntress
- Written by ThanosCopter on Friday, November 02 2012 and posted in News and Satire
Here's a sneak pic of what the character looks like in costume.
Source: EW
We already knew that Jessica de Goew would be appearing as the Huntress in multiple episodes of Arrow this season. Now, we know what her costume looks like.
Courtesy of EW, here's a first look at Huntress's costume. I'm sure that we'll get a better picture in the coming days, but it looks like they're definitely styling the outfit off of Anne Hathaway's garb in The Dark Knight Rises. As nondescript as the costume appears to be, at least Huntress's trademark mini-crossbows make an appearance.

Navigating In A Down Economy
Originally published: 08.01.08 by Terry Tanker
Only the best-run, best-managed firms survive.
It's a tough economy out there and just about every indicator is pointing its needle toward the red. Energy prices are high, new housing starts are low to nonexistent, finding qualified workers is difficult, healthcare coverage is expensive, subprime loans have made additional financing difficult to obtain and the list goes on and on. However, for business owners there are no excuses, the playing field is level. As the old saying goes, "If it is to be, it is up to me."
When the business climate becomes exceedingly difficult like it is today, most industries will have significant fall out. The Darwin effect applies and only the bestrun, best-managed firms survive. As a result, there's a lot less clutter in the marketplace and there will be a great deal of opportunity for the remaining firms. Another interesting fact, recessionary times are like springboards of opportunity attracting entrepreneurs who can pull together the resources necessary to take advantage of floundering competition.
Right now even the best-managed firms will need to make adjustments and outright changes to their business operation. It's a great time to make process changes you've been planning, or simply fix things you think are broken. Assuming you are and have been communicating effectively with all of your team members, there should be significantly less resistance to the changes you implement.
Despite the economy, customers will always need service and they'll always need to repair or replace equipment. As competitors fall out of the market, several positive things happen for those that remain. First, there is even more business for the stronger surviving (and thriving) firms. Second, service technicians, operations managers, sales people and office staff that have recently become displaced by the economic shakedown are available to help fill existing positions within your organization as well as the new and expanding business opportunities competitors have left at your door. Take your time, interview and evaluate these prospective employees and ask only the best to join your team.
Another unique thing happens — customers become better listeners. When dollars are tight, making mistakes on where to invest them simply hurts more. The investment your marketing and sales teams have made developing presentations on higher-efficiency equipment and payback rates based on energy levels versus repairing their existing equipment are given their due consideration.
I mentioned earlier that effective communication within your entire company is essential. In doing so you'll eliminate most of the water cooler discussions that are responsible for spreading doubts, fears and untruths. Instead, you can educate your team on the most critical and important tasks, showing them areas that need focus and commitment. From there you'll be able to establish goals and objectives accordingly.
There is plenty of research that documents how well-managed and well-run companies gain market share and dominate during recessionary times. The bottom line — managers at those companies had a plan, executed the plan and didn't make excuses.

Also, this is a bit of planning for the finished painting.
As you can see, there's a lot of stuff going on here. I have not only a more expressive piece, but I am using new techniques that I JUST learned, as well as using *gasp* texturing. This is going to be one hell of a piece. Now all I need to do for now is add a grass layer above the dirt layer.
Hey! nice work going on there! Trying new techniques! Why don't you start a sketchbook over at the sketchbook thread I don't think is considered concept art and entertainment design
Actually, it is concept art. I plan on making a Pokemon game with some friends that aims at fixing the little annoyances we all have with the series, and will include a roster of over 175 (probably going to be around 190) Pokemon. 75+ of our own, and 100+ from the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Generations.

as long as it's a non-profit work, he can't get sued by anyone. So Dragon-Punch, keep it non-profit.

More than this you're not making a concept into a painting or a drawing or something, you're just copying someone else idea (entirely i have to say) , as dpaint says this is not what concept art is
Just to say I am new here too but looking back at your work it seems like you can only drawing from one point of view as in like the character is facing to the right, I think the major problems you need to work on is anatomy, sense of balance and understanding of 3D(well...in some cases for anime).

Speaking from 60 years of professional music experience, this is possibly the worst drum line I have ever heard! The drums sound like packing crates and tin cans. There is no tonal or dynamic variation, and absolutely no thematic development.

Creating a Lulu Book Cover with Pixel
Last month, I dove into LyX, a graphical LaTeX typesetting program for Linux. Because LyX produces commercial quality documents, it's an ideal match for the Lulu.com self-publishing Web site.
I'm reasonably certain most authors send material that comes from a standard word-processing program, such as Microsoft Word. Look back at the article in the December 2006 issue of LJ where I show you some output between a word processor and LyX to see what a difference it makes for your final product.
This time, I finish our book publishing tutorial. Publishing to Lulu.com is a two-step process. First, you need to upload your finished text files to Lulu. Then, you need to design a cover for the final product.
After Lulu accepts your text file, it asks you to format or upload a cover for the book. You have two choices: use one of Lulu's predesigned cover backgrounds, or upload a custom book cover that you created.
The sample book covers Lulu provides vary and may suit your publication just fine. If you decide to use one of those, the on-line system will help you add text to the image. Lulu's on-line program will place the author, ISBN and copyright notice for you as well. However, creating a book cover yourself is a great opportunity to examine Pixel.
In my estimation, Pixel is not a direct competitor of The GIMP. Pixel is a commercially produced application that runs on many operating systems. The Pixel Web site (www.kanzelsberger.com/pixel) notes at least six different operating systems, including Linux, Windows and Mac OS X.
By its own description, Pixel seems suited for advanced graphic artists. In fact, the first non-beta version of Pixel should include Photoshop plugins and .psd import and export. See www.kanzelsberger.com/pixel/?page_id=60 for more details and a list of features for the next release.
Pixel is not free. It is available as a demonstration software package, and users can buy a license for $32 US. This fee includes unlimited support and all updates until the next major release.
The demonstration copy does have a significant drawback. Any image created with Pixel contains a Pixel watermark. There is also a small "nag" screen reminding you to buy the product to get full use of the software. So, you can't use any graphics produced with the demo version.
I don't find this objectionable. Pixel's author intends to steer the software to compete with the leaders in the graphics industry. Although the expected version 1 price is around $100 US, it's still less than the competition. I like competition; it helps keep prices down.
Because Pixel is not open source or free, it's not likely you will find it in a major distribution's repository. So, download a demo copy from www.kanzelsberger.com/pixel/?page_id=4. Installation is straightforward. Download the Linux .tar file, unpack it and click on the file to start program installation. Follow the instructions on-screen to finish the setup.
Once complete, start Pixel from the command line or your system menu, and the home screen appears (Figure 1). At first impression, Pixel looks similar to other top-line commercial software. It's also different from The GIMP, because it covers your entire screen. In addition, many tools are in full view by default (Figure 2).
The screen layout is clean. Some of the icons are a bit troublesome to identify due to their size. But, trying to find hundreds of unique pictures for tools must be challenging for any programmer.
Now you're ready to begin. Because Pixel is still in beta release, documentation is scarce. In March 2006, the Pixel support forum explained that no documentation is ready as the focus is on product development. There is a help system available by pressing F1 (Figure 3), but currently no embedded tutorial exists. Even without much documentation, Pixel's layout is somewhat intuitive. If you know Adobe Photoshop, you're in luck—it's nearly the same.
For Lulu.com book covers: Inkscape and The GIMP
Not sure if things have changed since the time this article was written, but I just created a book cover for my LyX-produced work for Lulu.com (dust-cover hardbound book) using their single-file upload feature using Inkscape and The GIMP. Perhaps they use a different mechanism for laminated hardbounds or paperbacks.
For dust-jacket covered hardbound books at least, Lulu.com calculates what the page dimensions should be and tells you them in plain English. You then just manually enter them to create a new document in Inkscape (I also used guidelines for bleeds, margins, etc.).
I modified a huge raster image in The GIMP and saved it as a PNG. Inkscape easily allowed me to import the PNG and then do the rest of the design within Inkscape, saving as a PDF to Lulu.com's specs with no problem at all.
**And** I did all this, including the LyX work for the interior pages, on an 8-year-old Mac running a Mac OS X version that came out more than 4 years ago (10.4). I was worried I wouldn't be able to do stuff like this with this machine.
Title of sample book
Why not rename the book from "The Pain of Computers Without Linux" to "The Pain (and Point?) of Having to Purchase Commercial Software for Linux"?
or ...
... even Inkscape for that matter
Why wouldn't you base the graphics part on GIMP rather than a commercial software package that nobody uses to begin with? That's likely why the article has been rated so low by everyone.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

The Inn by the Sea
Don't be surprised if guests greet the staff here by name. The Inn by the Sea's picture-perfect mile-long stretch of sand and quintessential New England coziness draw repeat visitors year after year. And a 2008 eco-conscious renovation means the 57-room property, located on Cape Elizabeth, will preserve its natural surroundings for years to come.
The inn's enormous, luxurious rooms are as warm and welcoming as the caring management. The 57 guestrooms, suites and cottages — all decorated in warm red and cognac tones — are accented with maple furniture and works by local artists.
Spa Suites have a loft-like living space, plus a terrace with sea views.
A collection of Audubon prints hangs on the walls. The bathrooms are oversize, and the larger units have full kitchens, too.
More just-like-home touches include flat-screen TVs, Internet access and iPod docks. There are also fireplaces in the rooms and a cardio room for counteracting the foodie forays at the inn's locavore restaurant. Guests love to congregate on the porches and around the fireplaces, or on the Adirondack chairs on the rolling lawn and gardens that lead down to the water.
Don't forget to set aside time for the luxurious (and LEED-certified) spa, where the treatments and the products continue the green theme, with organic essential oils and neutraceuticals selected for each client. There's even a massage table with surround-sound ocean waves.
What to do
How to get there
Flights are available to Portland International Jetport (PWM) and Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) from major U.S. cities on a variety of carriers. Transfers to/from PWM and BOS are not offered by the property. Taxis from PWM, about seven miles away, are approximately $25 per person, each way. Inn by the Sea is also within driving distance of Boston; BOS is 110 miles from the property. If renting a car, valet parking and self-parking are available for no additional cost.
Our editors have been here and it has met our standards.
Loyal guests return year after year to Inn by the Sea, a charming spot on a spectacular milelong beach just outside Portland, Maine. A multimillion-dollar renovation has brought upgrades in decor and facilities, but the caring service — which includes warm homemade cookies before bed — hasn't changed a bit.

Here is just one example of why participating in forums like these sharpens us and pushes us to confront scripture and the truth of it. We need to know exactly who Jesus is and what His gospel is because the tongue of man can be very convincing. (Watch the youtube link at the end of this post.)
All of us need to sharpen our swords and be able to defend our faith with the Word of God.
And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death. (Revelation 12:11, ESV)
John 10
I and the Father Are One
22 At that time the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the colonnade of Solomon. 24 So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly." 25 Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name bear witness about me, 26 but you do not believe because you are not part of my flock. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me,[a] is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. 30 I and the Father are one."
31 The Jews picked up stones again to stone him. 32 Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?" 33 The Jews answered him, "It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God." 34 Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your Law, 'I said, you are gods'? 35 If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be broken— 36 do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming', because I said, 'I am the Son of God'? 37 If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me; 38 but if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father." 39 Again they sought to arrest him, but he escaped from their hands.
We may "argue" sometimes about the way our salvation works itself out in our lives, but we desperately need to stand united in this world about the message of who Jesus is.

An Architecture of Trees
The Chrysalis residence, near Avalanche, Wis., was built with small trees harvested from the immediate surroundings.
Roald Gundersen's timber frames exploit the natural form and inherent strength of small trees.
The architect uses small-diameter trees to support structures from the interior, permitting large daylight openings.
Peeling the bark while the tree is still standing allows slow, even drying and completely kills the tree, helping nearby millable timber to flourish.
Architect Roald Gundersen and his team at Whole Tree Architecture and Construction are all for putting small-diameter trees — the "weeds" of the forest — to practical use. Forests need thinning to grow healthy stands of millable trees, Gundersen observes, and his company works with "the waste product" of that process.
Studies by the USDA-funded Forest Products Laboratory have found that a small round timber is 50 percent stronger in bending than an equivalent cross-sectional area of milled lumber. Gundersen's work takes advantage of that attribute: "We're looking at the architecture of trees, the result of 200 million years of environmental testing, and using their branching and curved aspects to reinforce our structures. From a single arched member, you can get lateral bracing in X, Y, and Z directions. A 12-inch round column is able to support a tremendous load and yet still isn't considered a millable timber." Typically, his columns and beams range between 10 and 14 inches in diameter; a rough rule of thumb specifies an inch of diameter for every foot of span. Rafters tend to be lighter, from 5 to 7 inches across.
One goal of Whole Tree's work is to establish a broader industry that accepts and exploits this highly accessible framing material. But as building materials go, trees are irregular, unpredictable things. "Up until the last eight years, a lot of the work I'd done was wild-crafting," Gundersen says. "I'd have a piece in mind and go into the woods, walk and walk and eventually find it, or maybe not. So now, we bend trees into the shapes we want for particular components, a few years before we harvest them. The tree actually grows stronger in the direction of the stress." On his own 134-acre Wisconsin woodlot, he has upwards of 1,000 potential structural members cataloged and marked by GPS coordinates, ready for use.
While conventional timber framing tends to be beyond the average budget, Gundersen's homes are surprisingly affordable. "I don't think we've built anything that's been higher than $100 per square foot," he says. That, coupled with the environmental appeal of Whole Tree's work, has attracted broad interest, from commercial and institutional as well as residential clients. "Last year was our busiest design year," Gundersen notes, "and this year looks to be our busiest for construction.

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation physicians, also called physiatrists, treat conditions that affect how you function with the goal of restoring physical ability and improving quality of life. A medical doctor trained in the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation addresses injuries or illness by treating the whole person, not just specific symptoms or certain body parts. Our physiatry specialists treat musculoskeletal conditions and injuries, pain, repetitive stress injuries, and acute and chronic conditions.
" I am sensitive to the complex interactions of the body and the mind when working through a condition that involves the nervous and musculoskeletal systems. I have years of additional training both in the research lab and clinically with patients, specifically in the field of orthopedic biomechanics, pain management and sports medicine."
- Douglas Chang, MD, PhD, Chief, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
The tools of physical medicine and rehabilitation are medications, therapeutic exercise, movement and activity modifications, and adaptive equipment.
You may be recovering from the effects of a stroke or spinal cord injury, or perhaps you have arthritis or a sports injury. You may have been through weeks of physical therapy and still feel immobilized due to your hip or back pain. This is when physical medicine and rehabilitation can step in and optimize your ability to function comfortably and restore your quality of life.
Dr. Douglas Chang discusses physical medicine and rehabilitation for back pain.
Our physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians frequently find that chronic pain is caused or worsened by a poorly designed workspace. By examining the posture and position of your body during work, our team can provide recommendations for ergonomic, physically appropriate work environments to help treat chronic pain. Using adaptive equipment in the office, home, car and elsewhere can make a difference and provide relief.
When physical medicine and rehabilitation don't provide adequate pain relief or improved functioning, a surgical approach may be recommended. See the other areas of expertise within the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery for more information on surgical treatment options for various conditions.

Factbox: Venezuelan opposition leader Henrique Capriles
- Tweet
- Share this
CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelan opposition leader Henrique Capriles will run against Elias Jaua, a Former vice president and protégé of the country's socialist leader Hugo Chavez, in one of 23 elections for state governorships on Sunday.
Here are some facts about him:
* Capriles, 40, is seeking re-election as governor of Venezuela's second-most populous state Miranda, which includes parts of Caracas. The state ranges from the capital's largest shantytown, Petare, to fishing villages and beaches on the Caribbean coast.
* A law graduate, Capriles became Venezuela's youngest legislator at the age of 26, then won the mayorship of a Caracas municipality before beating a die-hard Chavez loyalist, Diosdado Cabello, to the Miranda governor's office in 2008.
* In the October 7 presidential election, Capriles was the candidate of the Democratic Unity coalition, which groups 20 or so parties and organizations making up the bulk of Venezuela's opposition. He lost, but received 45 percent of the votes and would hope to be the opposition's candidate at any new vote.
* In Miranda, the charismatic and energetic governor is known for riding a motorcycle and heading into slums most days to supervise projects and talk to working-class voters. On the campaign trail before October's election, he visited hundreds of towns and villages, seeking to project an image of energy, youth and attention to grassroots problems.
* Some say Capriles deliberately has cultivated an almost Chavez-like image of being on the street and in constant contact with the poor. While campaigning, he blows kisses and pumps his fist in a Chavez-like, man-of-the-people style.
* Capriles's maternal grandparents, the Radonskis, fled anti-Semitism in Poland and arrived in Venezuela with just a suitcase stuffed with clothes. Two great-grandparents died in the Treblinka concentration camp. "Imagine that some people in the Chavez government are so ignorant they actually call me a Nazi," he says.
* His grandparents set up a lucrative cinema business in Venezuela and, through them, Capriles once met legendary Mexican comedian Mario Moreno - best known as "Cantinflas."
* A basketball player and sports lover, Capriles says he relaxes by finding some friends for a game or going for a quiet run after dark. He downs Red Bulls to keep his energy up.
* Like Chavez, Capriles has been jailed. He was imprisoned for four months on charges of fomenting a protest at the Cuban embassy in 2002, although he says he was mediating. He was acquitted of the charges at trial, though there is chatter in political circles that the charges could one day be revived.
* If he were to lead Venezuela, Capriles says, he would copy Brazil's "modern left" model of economic and social policies. On the campaign trail earlier this year, he sought to appeal to traditional Chavez supporters, stressed inclusiveness rather than attacking the president, and urged Venezuelans to "get on the bus" for change.
* Despite his Jewish roots, Capriles is a devout Catholic, who says his faith deepened in jail. He wears a rosary and likes to visit a shrine on Margarita island each year.
* The governor is single. He received a torrent of marriage offers via Twitter and Facebook during the campaign. He says he will find his wife and start a family in his own good time.
* Though describing himself as center-left, Capriles belongs to the more conservative Primero Justicia (First Justice) party which he helped found in 2000. Foes say he is really an "ultra-right" politician, in the pay of Venezuela's pro-U.S. traditional elite, but masquerading as a progressive.
* Government officials have targeted his wealthy background, association with conservative politicians linked to Venezuela's pre-Chavez rulers, and his role in the Cuban embassy affair, to try to discredit him.
* If he had won the October election, Capriles would have become Venezuela's youngest president. He often uses the slang of Venezuela's young, and nearly always wears informal clothes and a baseball cap.

Hi brnm98105, welcome to css - and terribly sorry a response is a bit delayed.
I've tested the provided code several times and it is working as desired. That suggests you are correct that something is over-riding the css.
Have you checked the page using an inspection tool such as firebug in firefox to see what styles are actually being applied? Also have you validated? There is an unclosed element in the provided code, but I thought that was probably caused by the cut/paste into the post - but it never hurts to validate to make sure.

NY Guardians insist on Full Repeal of Common Core in New York . Bill A8929 introduced by Cathy Nolan does nothing to support the educational needs of children. It is a distraction from the truth that parent and educator rights were taken away under a Federal takeover of education.
The rollout of the education initiative known as Common Core has been an unmitigated disaster in New York, and the recent actions by the state Board of Regents is a testament to that fact.
So, let me see if I understand Gov. Andrew Cuomos rationale here: If 18-year-old Johnny Smith has a B average in school, plays in the school band, takes a few Advanced Placement classes, works at the local fast food restaurant and is an Eagle Scout, he can apply to a State University of New York to further his education.

Review: Mobile Hidden Camera takes fine spy shots
Mobile Hidden Camera seems excellent at hiding and offers neat features, but its price may make you do a double take. This download is a Lite version of the app and only demonstrates the app's basic functions without allowing for too much modification. However, the app doesn't include any ads and if you do decide to upgrade, you'll get a very powerful spy camera.
This app takes photos or videos, but doesn't give a preview of what your camera is seeing. That means you don't have to worry about someone peeking over your shoulder and … Read more

What is Wakeboarding?
Wakeboarding is a surface water sport which involves riding a wakeboard over the surface of a body of water behind a boat or Cable System. It was developed through a combination of water skiing, snowboarding and surfing techniques.
The rider is towed behind a boat or a cable park; typically at speeds of 18–24 miles per hour (29–39 km/h), depending on water conditions, rider's weight, board size and most importantly, the rider's personal preference. Wakeboarding can also be performed on a variety of media including closed-course cables, winches, PWCs and ATVs.
Welcome to LDB Wake School
We are a completely wakeboard, wakeskate and wakesurf focused school. For any boarder to progress, consistency of good coaching is key. Our professional coach, will ensure you receive a structured and progressional fun form of coaching.
Lee can improve your riding from getting up on to the board through to perfecting your spins and inverts. (that is going upside down for a beginners)

fintail Posts: 32,604Here's the latest (oops fintail is on the wrong side):
I wish I had pics of my first car or the various cars in the family during my childhood. Guess I am making up for it. My family always had a 60s car in the driveway through the 90s too, as my dad had a thing for 60s Fords. Sadly, he didn't have a thing for taking pics. -
mark156 Posts: 1,992Absolutely wonderful pics! 18 in '95?, you're just a kid! LOL! I was 37.
I really liked my W126 ('91 560SEL)... then the 2000 E430 Sport came along and soon after, the 2002 ML500 (had '00 and '02 at the same time). Kept the E430 for 9 yrs. and then sold it to my brother with only 39K miles (then I bought the '09 Bentley to replace it).
The old Rolls has 91,000 original miles. It had 86,000 miles when I bought it in 1998. I think it's worth about $35-$40K now?....I paid $29K plus tax 15 yrs. ago. I've probably put $15K (tune-up, oil changes, repairs, etc.) over 15 yrs. in it which includes $2,500 for new big white-wall radial Coker tires 12 yrs. ago.
It's been worth every penny of enjoyment and the thumbs-up I get when I drive it around makes me keep it. :blush:
Mark156 -
fintail Posts: 32,604I am a youngster for most of the cars I have owned. Not many people in their teens have a fintail, not many in their 30s either. And not many 20-somethings would be thrilled to find a nice W126, but I was. I am young for the new car too - not just because of its price. I have a few mature tastes maybe.
Fintail has gone around the clock a couple times. It also photographs a little nicer than it is - it is a decent survivor car, but no concours piece. You are probably right on the Rolls value. Speaking of those tires, that's my next plan for the old car, a set of wide whitewall (2 1/4" I think) radials. Probably going into the shop tomorrow morning to see if it can be aligned properly, as the tires wear kind of weird now. -
fintail Posts: 32,604Oh yeah, I forgot you like some MBs of that era. The C43 was a neat car, it was immaculate and I was the 2nd owner, but it rode pretty hard and had a few quirks, I had it for only a couple years. Finding the E55 was a good excuse to upgrade.
I wish I had pics of the 60 Ford my dad had when I was a teen. -
nyccarguy Stamford, CTPosts: 6,988Michaell - While your wife's commute will become longer, my wife's has become shorter. From 20 miles one way (3 days per week) to 2.6 miles one way (3 days per week). No, I'm going to run out and trade in our perfectly good 2011 Pilot EXL w/ Nav & buy (or lease) a 2013 Pilot? NO WAY JOSE!
I'm less than a month away from my year anniversary withdriving heavenmy 328xi. Miles as of tonight are in the 19,200 range. Good thing I took the 20K per year lease. Things will even out mileage wise. I'll take her Pilot to work once a week, once the weather gets warmer I can drive my Prelude to work too. If I keep piling on the miles, that just means I'll have to focus my car shopping earlier in the summer of 2014.2001 Honda Prelude Type SH/ 2011 BMW 328xi / 2011 Honda Pilot EX-L w/ Navigation
sandman_6472 Coral Springs, FLPosts: 2,567Would love to upgrade right now but it's just not logical at this point. With hitting 37k on tomorrow morning's commute, my car is just not worth trading. As much as I'm tempted after driving so many new and better vehicles, I'm staying the course and will take care of things. The headliner gets replaced at home on Wednesday morning then it's off to get the tires rebalanced and rotated. The brake pedal is real low and after hard usage, I hear a grinding noise nut will wait till I hear the wear sounds. It just might need the back one's adjusted also, just not sure. Hopefully they'll look them over on Wednesday when they have the wheels off and can really view the pads. I was told that Tires Plus uses a metallic blend pad but I want pads that are really good with minimal brake dust. Hate going to Midas as they upsell too many things but wondering if their warranty is better on a brake job?
All I know is that I'm going to spend some coinage on the Civic this week. Am also due for an oil change as 3/23 is a year, but the mileage minder says I still have 60% life in my oil. Since I do so much freeway driving now, it might be wise to just do the change as I need this vehicle to continue to be as dependable as it has been up to now.

stickguy Posts: 13,346well, it is a 1 year regardless of miles, so you are pretty close at this point. might as well do it while it is in.
2013 Acura RDX (wife's), 2007 Volvo S40 (when daughter lets me see it), 2000 Acura TL (formerly son's, now mine again), and new Jetta SE (son's first new car on his own dime!)
sandman_6472 Coral Springs, FLPosts: 2,567My thoughts exactly after I read the post. Do have a $17.95 coupon for the Honda dealer so might just go over there afterwards and throw them the change. They always do some kind of look see so I can tell what else might be needed. usually I take that list to my guy and he tackles what ever is needed, if anything. But it's nice to get over to the Honda store and shop a bit as they do the service. Luckily I'm not an impulsive guy so the wife knows that I won't be coming home with a new rig. But she does realize that I've got that itch that eventually will have to be scratched! As I said in an earlier post, some guy at work asked me when I got a new car! He did ask it the day after it was detailed though and it did look fantastic I must say. The guy I found at the supermarket parking lot does a classy job each and every time and since I do the 4 at the same time, he cuts me a bit of a break.

the same engine displacement [ 3.0L ]
and the same layout [ I6 ] as that 1972...

Stever@Edmunds YooperlandPosts: 38,623I've looked for years for pics of the family's beloved '53 Buick Special. My brother finally found a couple, but you really can't tell much about the car.
At grandma's house and at the cabin. The date stamp on the cabin shot is probably pretty close to when the photo was taken, so the Buick would have been 9 that year. Thus my old man would not have been posting in here. -
tjc78 JerseyPosts: 4,998I am a youngster for most of the cars I have owned
I definately fall into that category. I remember buying my 2003 Avalon at 24 and the salesperson said I was the youngest Avalon buyer ever at their dealership. LOL, I said did you realize I pulled up in an 89 Town Car?1999 Chevy S10 / 2004 Merc Grand Marquis / 2012 Buick LaCrosse
qbrozen Posts: 16,818I can't think of a good reason at the moment. I love my 135i too much. I would prefer better gas mileage on the beater, but the volvo has such low miles and is so pleasant for a beater that I can't currently make sense of getting rid of it. The Leaf, of course, is a lease. The only one that has even crossed my mind is the T&C... but what the hell would we replace it with? A new comparable one is WAY too expensive, and I'm pretty damned sure we are upside-down in the current one anyway.

Average cost in Long Island City: $525
79% of Long Island City reviewers said Botox was worth it
"To Botox or NOT to Botox? Not a..."
Well after checking out other people who have done it I was rather skeptical especially for a man. But I decided to do it anyway. I went to Dr A only because I knew people who have do this procedure at her office. Procedure did not take long considering I did only about 15 units for a first time and Dr A insisted I did not need more. I was in and out including waiting and papers within 40 min... more
"Droopy Eyes, Evil Eye Look with..."
I have had injectable fillers done since the mid 90s and have always been pleased with the results. But this last month I went to a renowned New York plastic surgeon (who also practices monthly in Santa Rosa CA where he saw me), who not only suggested fillers but Botox as well. It was the worst experience I've ever had. Not only was I so bruised and swollen that I couldn't go out in public... more
"Bye Bye to Strong Muscles - Armonk, NY"
My whole family has strong facial muscles. I have the bad habit of frowning constantly! So I decided to take preventative measures and stop the lines before they get worse. It was a quick and easy procedure. They gave me ice to numb the area, and Dr. Tchelebi was very quick! I love the results and will go back more
"Botox; Belotero - Passaic, NJ"
Very easy; very happy with results; painless with topical anesthetic; was at ease the entire time ; minimal bruising ; Dr Baxt has an excellent skill; light touch; procedure had immediate results with best results in about 2 wks. would recommend especially for fine lines. no time off needed ; friends just compliment you but don't realize that you had anything done more
"Amazing Results - Short Hills, NJ"
I decided to start preventative botox injections and Dr. Ovchinsky is the doctor that I trust since he did my lip augmentation in 2012. It took about 4 days to see full results and I cannot be more happy. During the treatment Dr.Ovchinsky took his time and was very thorough, I felt comfortable and like I am in safe hands. The results are more that I could ever hope for, it was amazing to see... more
"Consistent Results - New York, NY"
After my first treatment with Dr. S, I felt that I needed more Botox as I was still able to frown and could still see a line between my eyebrows. I went back to see him 7 days later but he told me that other muscles were coming into play and that more Botox would not help. If I wanted to get rid of that line, I would need a filler. Results have been consistent and no one has been able to... more
"Darn Dark Circles -New York, NY"
I'm 38 and have always had dark circles and I hate them!! I always get complimented in how great I look for my age but I also get you look tired today.

I had botox done 11/19/12 and is not happy of the outcomes. The site that was injected was my forehead and the line is visible to the naked eyes. It's like it wasn't touched.

I came to Dr. DiBernardo over other cosmetic doctors because of his reputation. Following my Botox injections, my forehead looks good, and my eyebrows have little arch.

My results are natural but my friends have... more
Doctor Breslow was very nice, professional and kind. He explained everything very clearly and made us comfortable. The staff are also very kind and helpful. They always try to advise the right method that soothes the individual. I can't wait to come back for my next treatment. -- Bryce D., Paramus, NJ more
"Botox Caused New Bags and Wrinkles -..."
Very disappointed in my most recent botox experience. 17 days ago I received 30 units in my forehead and between brow. It seemed to set in right away and by the next night my forehead was almost completely frozen. By day 5 I could not move my eyebrows at all. One eyebrow has lost its arch but the other has not, so I look very strange. When I smile I have bags and wrinkles under my eyes. My... more
"Great! Would Definitely Recommend..."
I wanted Botox because I could not stand the lines on my forehead. Everytime I looked at magazines I would look at the models forehead to see if they had any lines.

An early interest in filmmaking, specifically directing, led to Penn's passion for acting. He moved to New York City at the age of 19 to pursue a career as an actor. He soon landed a part in a Broadway play, Heartland. In 1981, he made his film debut alongside budding star Tom Cruise and Academy Award winner Timothy Hutton in the military school drama Taps.
Penn's breakthrough role came a year later, when he played the perpetually stoned surfer Jeff Spicoli in the high school comedy Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982). He garnered acclaim for his first starring role in 1983's Bad Boys, and for the drama The Falcon and the Snowman (1985).
Bad Boy Image
In 1985, Penn gained a whole new measure of fame when he married pop icon Madonna. Their tumultuous four-year marriage produced one dismal movie, 1986's Shanghai Surprise, and a barrage of tabloid headlines. Penn's "bad boy" image only increased with his continued hostility toward the aggressive paparazzi—he served 34 days in prison in 1987 for punching an extra who tried to take his picture. Penn and Madonna divorced in 1989.
Directing and Acting
In 1991, two years after earning rave reviews for his performance in Casualties of War (1989), Penn directed his first film. The feature The Indian Runner opened to a limited release in theaters, and made a meager $34,047 at the box office. Critics gave the film mild praise.
Though he previously claimed he quit acting, Penn returned to the front of the camera in 1993, playing a coke-addled criminal lawyer in De Palma's Carlito's Way, co-starring Al Pacino. His performance earned him a Golden Globe nomination for best supporting actor.
In 1995, he starred as a death row inmate searching for salvation in the film Dead Man Walking, based on the true story by Helen Prejean. The film earned Penn Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations, as well as an Independent Spirit Award.

"I was so impressed with this product. I told the designers that I did not need a "directions card" (because everyone uses GPS now), so instead I turned it into a "Reception" and "Accommodations" card, and gave information about both for everyone to have."
