Thread: Steering Stabilizer?
Steering Stabilizer?
My 2012 2500HD 4wd didn't come with a steering stabilizer, and its pretty choppy on rough dirt roads. Has anyone added an aftermarket stabilizer like a Rancho to a newer truck? Did it help? Any brand better than another for a 95% highway driven truck?
06-15-2012, 11:45 PM #2I was under the impression that on modern 4WD vehicles with power steering and little to no steering kickback that steering stabilizers (of the non-towing variety) were mostly for show UNLESS the vehicle was being used for high speed off-roading.

Jerry Seinfeld loves himself some baseball. You'd think he'd hate the sabermetric ideas that are used
↵↵ ↵↵
Seinfeld is a Mets fan. Perhaps he dreamed he'd enjoy as much success as Beane's early Athletics teams, once his management understands how to apply moneyball principles while simultaneously spending millions upon millions, instead of just straight baseball abyssing it in the middle of the season.

I dimension or constrain everything. Geometric constraints are (should be) obvious and take the place of many (most) dimensions.
The dimensions are the dimensions that will be needed out on the shop floor. By fully constraining everything you ensure that the model is not accidently released for manufacture with a missing dimension. (I worked out on the shop floor for 8 years - I can tell you that missing dimensions is a costly problem.)
donovandigital wrote:Really hope I can build this....
Did you verify the specs on the threads.
As indicated earlier 7mm is an unusual thread.
Re dimensions, that is what I thought.
Re thread
To be honest I don't know how to check this. Can I do this with calipers?
Measure the diameter of the thread.
Typically it will be slightly undersize. A 7mm thread might measure something like 6.8mm.
Find the pitch by measuring the distance across the crest of 11 threads and divide by 10 (you can just measure the distance from one to the next, but it is sometimes easier to get 10 distances and move the decimal place)
The diameter and pitch should match the list in the aviable Hole Feature.
Yes, use calipers. (there is a special tool to find pitch, but you can do this with calipers as described.).
You could also go to the local hardware store and purchase several nuts of sizes close to what you think you measure. (Be sure to keep them labeled.
You measure the external thread diameter (rod) not the hole.
Will do so this week
But - are all the parts I posted OK?
Thanks again

This is a delightful property! We were last minute, and we are grateful that we were able to get a room instead of staying at a chain hotel farther from campus. The owner was working on a remodel project elsewhere so we didn't see much of him. If my son ends up attending here, we will be back and I look forward to having more time to chat and learn about the area!
Risposta del proprietario
Thanks for staying and yes the progress on the big house was moving along when you were here as we were blowing over 100 bags of fiberglass insulation into the ceilings and attic spaces, we still have a long way to go. I am around every morning for breakfast depending on when you get up and in and out throughout the day to check on things. Hopefully next time we can spend time on the front porch and chat about what is going on around town!

Staying at the Bayberry in the fall is wonderful! Crisp weather makes staying at the Bayberry very cozy with modern features...love the gas firelplaces, the super comfortable bed, relaxing in the jacuzzi and enjoying the pictures and books in the living room. The buffet in the am is THE BEST on the weekends-fresh, hot, with lots of variety and so yummy! Ready for you to just sit down with your filled plate to enjoy. A short walk along the historic streets of Steubenville, then a visit to Franciscan University, or Pittsburgh, make this the ideal location and perfect for a family of any size! Scott is very personable, precise, and shows great care with his clients. We would recommend this place to stay in over generic hotels. This B&B makes us actually want to plan another trip sooner, rather than later to Steubenville! Thank you Scott for all of your renovation dedication in preserving, modernizing, and comfortizing (?) these historic homes! You hit the "nail" on the head!

We have stayed at the Bayberry many times. Different houses, different rooms, same incredible experience! Our host, Scott, was always gracious. He would frequently chat with us in the mornings. I requested grapefruit for my husband's breakfast, and Scott found what I believe was the largest grapefruit in all of Ohio! Our favorite room is Francesca's, but every one is uniquely well-appointed.

BAbyberry House was a lovely surprise. It is 2 homes lovingly restored with antiques and period pieces with modern amenities. The best part was meeting Scott and learning of the restoration of Steubenville, especially the theater! He knows a great deal of hstory of the house and the town as he personally restored the homes. We would definitley return. :)
Risposta del proprietario
Thanks so much for staying and chatting. I really enjoy talking about the history of town, the Grand Theater and the homes on Historic North Fourth Street around the B&B. I will have heat in the big house next door this Friday and will be able to work on that all winter, can't wait until it's open for guests and we can do breakfast in the big dining room!

I loved my "Derek" room. I felt like I was at home. The decorum was beautiful and everything including my room, the house itself and the bathroom were exceptionally clean and welcoming. Scott was an exceptional host and made me feel very much at home and respectful of my privacy. I would definitely stay again.
5 su settembre 23, 2013
We have lodged several times at a Bayberry House B&B and always really enjoyed. Our most recent visit for a 45th reunion allowed us to have several classmates stop by for coffee and later wine on the porch. Another special treat is having conversation with Scott at breakfast about his restoration and renovation of historical properties. Everyone with whom we shared our experiences at Bayberry House plans to lodge there on their next trip to the area. We encourage everyone to share these wonderful experiences. Stan & Sharon Yanchus
Risposta del proprietario
Thanks again for staying and thank you for your kind words. Nothing I like better than my conversations with my guests, it's always fun!

My wife and I stayed at the Bayberry in Steubenville OH on Labor Day weekend 2013. The reason I chose it, honestly, was because all the hotels were more expensive. Boy, am I glad they were! After an 8 hour drive, we were greeted by Scott on the front porch. He showed us around the house, which was clean and full of interesting antiques. The bedroom had a king size bed that was very comfortable. In the morning, there were great breakfast choices waiting for us. Waffles, sausages, eggs, fruit, danishes, fresh coffee and juice. We sat and chatted with Scott and the other guest that was staying there, catching up on all the recent happenings in Steubenville. All in all, a terrific stay. We will absolutely be staying there again next May when we go for another visit.

It was very quiet, and we slept very well. The place is located in a beautiful area. Racoon Creek State Park (PA) is a short drive away. Highly recommended.

We stayed in Julia's room in the Teal House. What a comfortable, relaxing stay! I enjoyed being able to have a cup of coffee later in the evening while watching TV downstairs in the family room (this way my daughter could relax undisturbed in our room before we went out for a later dinner). Scott, the proprietor, made us feel welcome when we arrived and we certainly appreciated the breakfast foods available in the morning and being able to eat in the dining room in our pajamas - just like being at home! I will be happy to stay here again while visiting my daughter at Franciscan University! Highly Recommended!
4,6 su agosto 29, 2013
What a beautiful place! Everything was perfect. The owner was friendly and professional. Will stay there again and again over the next four years while I have a kid in college there, as long as I don't have my dog with me. (He has a very strict no-pet policy.)
4,6 su agosto 21, 2013
All I can say is if you are in the area...why would you even consider a hotel! from the moment I booked with Scott...he has been more than wonderful to deal with. We felt VERY comfortable there...and he answered our many questions. For those concerned about the bathrooms...there are 2 I the Garrett house and we had NO issues getting access. We even got to have breakfast with Scott, which was wonderful! The house and grounds are stunning...and the history of the house and area is worth taking a sit down with Scott....OH! and the front porch...heaven! Thanks so much Scott!!!!!
4,8 su agosto 20, 2013
The historic Bayberry House shows it was restored with loving hands. We were very comfortable in our suite in this quiet neighborhood. Everything we needed was provided. Breakfast was prepared was well done including waffle batter, fruit, juice, eggs, pastries and sausage. Loved sitting on the porch in the morning to have that first leisurely cup of coffee and in the evening for tea. Don't forget to take a stroll down the street to see some wonderful homes. I got a chance to visit with neighbors and got some local history. We highly recommend staying at the Bayberry House.

Scott was a most gracious host! Could not have asked for better service. Wish I could have stayed longer.

This was a wonderful surprise after returning to the area for a thirty year reunion at the college. The stay at Bayberry made the weekend a relaxing retreat. I will suggest this to alum (sorority sisters) the next time we plan an event.
3,8 su luglio 22, 2013
This is a great place to stay especially if you are going to a concert at the pavilion, it is very easy to get there from here. I liked the house, the room was a little small but it was clean and cozy! Scott is wonderful !!!!
Risposta del proprietario
Thanks for staying, it was great to have you here. 2 of our bedrooms are smaller and less expensive as well, we do have 7 rooms that are larger and 5 of them have private bath as well. Next time maybe try Hanna & Victor's Room or Julia's Room, or even stay an extra day and get the Jacuzzi Suite!

I was very glad I chose to stay at the nicely restored Bayberry House instead of a local hotel. It was very clean, quiet, and comfortable. Coffee in the morning on the front porch was a great way to start the day. I'm sure I will return.

Although short, I had a pleasant stay at the Bayberry House. As I had waited until the last minute to make my travel plans, I was very pleased to find this place in the historic district of Steubenville. The grounds were well maintained, the downstairs rooms beautifully decorated, the bed was comforatable and my every need was addressed. I would gladly stay there the next time I'm passing through the area.
5 su giugno 24, 2013
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Bayberry House Bed and Breakfast. It was wonderful to experience what life must have been like in the 1880's in America, a delightful departure from the experience of staying in a motel. I wish we had done this when our children were travelling with us. The owner treated us like family. The food was delicious and homemade. The place was spotless. I would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Nice, large house with lots of history associated with it. Very comfortable furniture and bed. Would stay here again and is my first choice among accommodations in the Steubenville area.

We were unable to stay for breakfast. The rooms were very nicely decorated. The bathroom was small but I appreciated that we had a private bath in the room, and it did say in the room description that it would be small. It would have been nice to have some movies/DVDs to play, but overall, we had a very nice stay and would return to Bayberry House in the future.

We have stayed here before, and enjoyed our stay once again. Scott is a great host, and always goes out of his way to make sure we are comfortable. His properties are tastefully decorated and immaculately clean. We would recommend Bayberry House to anyone!

If you want the perfect place to stay in Steubenville, stay with Scott at the Bayberry House B&B. I grew-up in Steubenville, but no longer have family to stay with in the area. We returned this past weekend for a class reunion and decided to take a little different path than the usual hotel room. We stayed in the Westfall House in Julia's room and had a delightful stay. Scott was a wonderful host and this restored home was beautiful. The breakfast was very good and there were sodas, fruit & coffee always available. Our room was clean and well appointed. The house was quiet and the bed very comfortable. Scott has a true love for preservation and it shows. We will definitely will stay here again when we return to Steubenville for a visit. Thanks, Scott, for a memorable weekend!

Selected based on passed very positive reviews / comments. Some discussed the neighborhood. Total over reaction! Parked out front, very safe street, beautiful redeveloped area. Fantastic room, Fast internet, beautiful decorations! Very nice inexpensive dinner at local downtown Italian restaurant (Naples). The Sunday morning in-house breakfast was just perfect, fruit, juice, bread, eggs, etc etc. A 5 star experience!! Thank you, Scott.

Sumptuous restoration of a classic old Steubenville townhouse - quite an experience. Each room is done with perfect attention to detail. Extremely clean and tastefully decorated. Breakfast was abundant and delicious, and the Inn Keeper was gracious and knowledgable about all aspects of Steubenville life. A great treat if you enjoy living in history and luxury at the same time. Hats off to our host! We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Beds are big and comfortable, air conditioning and bath facilities excellent.

This B&B has a good location near the campus with nice rooms and a great bed in the Hanna & Victor room! The breakfast wasn't what we have experienced in other B&B's. A few donuts,cereal coffee, bananas and make your own waffles. A little disappointing. Scott was great to meet us early for check in and was there every morning to check in.

Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay overall. I'm sorry that breakfast was not what you expected as I do try to make sure that the web site and our communications let everyone know what it includes. When you return please stay for our Sunday Breakfast in the Garrett House dining room, it's very nice and I'm sure you will enjoy it! Thanks, Scott

We stayed at the Bayberry House because we were going to a concert at the First Niagra Pavilion, which was only about 10 minutes away. The location was very convenient. The house was beautiful! The front porch was huge and a great place to enjoy my morning coffee, which was strong and delicious. Scott was easy to communicate with and a great host. If I ever make it back to the area again, I will definitely be staying at the Bayberry House!

What a pleasant surprise to find this outstanding B & B in Steubenville, OH. On a recent trip with friends from Texas, we stumbled onto Bayberry House and were quite impressed with this beautifully renovated historic property. The lavishly furnished common rooms and thematically decorated bedrooms were a perfect place to spend a leisurely evening as we stopped off during one night of our travels. Meticulously restored and equipped with every modern convenience, this property made us wish we could have stayed longer. Scott is the perfect host, providing breakfast and a quick and interesting lesson in local history. This would also be a perfect place for a family gathering with its five bedrooms and spacious living areas. Modestly priced and offering everything we needed and more, we couldn't have been happier with our choice. Highly recommended!

Stayed there during a recent trip to Franciscan University in June 2012. It was wonderfully clean, comfortable, charming, and Scott is a great host! I will definitely stay there every time I visit the University. The continental breakfast is simply cereal and coffee with a few pastries/ muffins. While this was fine for me, it might not be what some were expecting. Regardless, the whole stay was just perfect and I would HIGHLY recommend this B & B above any other place. Scott is a very attentive and responsive innkeeper and the place is immaculate.

Hi, thanks for the great review, I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay. Our breakfast is simple and includes fresh fruit, coffee or tea, milk and juice, a choice of cereals, fresh baked goods from the Downtown Bakery, and warm buttermilk waffles syrup and butter. Also there are bagels and english muffins butter and jams. This is offered from 7:30 until 10 so everyone can get up and eat when they would like. Coffee and items that are always there are available early for those who are early risers. Thanks!

One of the nicest (if not THE nicest) B & B's that I've ever stayed in. Immaculate room and home with comfortable décor that is rich with local history… Can't wait to stay there again!!! Scott is an amazing host…thank you for making my stay in Stubenville an awesome experience!!! Definitely a 5 star B & B.

Wow!! From the moment Scott welcomes you, the Garrett House makes you feel at home. This magnificently restored mansion makes you feel as if you are stepping back ingtime with all the modern amenities you could want. The home is decorated beautifully, the bedrooms are very comfortable and abound with quilts, and the porch is a peaceful place to relax and watch the world go by. Immaculately clean baths and kitchen complete the picture, and if that isn't enough, the breakfast waiting each morning makes your stay perfect. We enjoyed our stay, learning about the house form Scott, and we plan to return soon!

Bayberry House was a beautifully restored home. The room we stayed in was a little bit small, but the shared bath room was really nice. The food was a basic continental breakfast--nothing fancy. I would definitely stay here again, though.

Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. We do offer our two smallest rooms at the lowest nightly rate available in Steubenville under $80. Our breakfast offers a variety of items that allows everyone to eat what and when they would like. We look forward to seeing you again!

We loved this Bed & Breakfast! It was beautifully decorated, clean, quiet, and would recommend it to anyone. The room was a little chilly (I would expect that in an older home and with tall ceilings) but a table top heater was available and took the chill off in just a matter of a few minutes. Wonderful place to stay!

My first experience at a B&B and what a wonderful suprise! The newly renovated victorian was a gem and the antiques were stunning. The room, though small, was nicely appointed and the sheets were crisp and white. Several different sized rooms to choose from. Quiet, comfortable and immaculate bathroom. Kitchen was modern and fully equipped. Can't say enough about the Bayberry House. Highly recommend it!

The house was clean and well maintained. Scott does a nice job seeing to our comfort. The only bummer was that it was a simple continental breakfast. Having stayed at other B&Bs a great Breakfast is part of the game. Thanks Scott, the house is beautiful.
Risposta del proprietario
Thanks for your comments. I wish we could do more of a breakfast, however until the full inn is completed a continental breakfast is what we can offer at our guest houses. We offer a variety of rooms and price them accordingly and reasonably, often times lower than all the area hotels. If you visit again and there is something special you would like to have for breakfast, let us know and we will try to accomodate that request.

I stayed here while on business at Franciscan University. Because I was there during the "off season", I was the only guest in the house. The owners have done a fabulous job restoring the home and I especially enjoyed the bed and linens. Very clean and close to downtown shops and restaurants. Definitely the best alternative to a sterile hotel.

Bayberry Properties goes out of the way to make your stay as hassle free and enjoyable as possible. Everything is beyond clean and within reach. If you can think of it or if you might need something, they've already thought of it for you and it's waiting for you. The house is quiet, the decorations are superb. The renovation is extraordinary. This is truly a gem, not to be overlooked.

A few weeks ago my husband and I and three other couples spent the weekend in Steubenville at the Garrett Guest House. We were all quite pleased with the house which was restored so wonderfully and also was truly comfortable ....we found nothing lacking. We found all the extra touches and attention to details amazing. We enjoyed eating and later playing cards around the large dining room table. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals. The cozy porch furniture was inviting and we spent a lot of time there just relaxing and visiting. We all appreciated the great effort it must have been to restore this home and we are so happy we chose it for our weekend get-a-way! Julie Smith, Lakewood , Ohio

Nicely restored and well-kept time-period 19th century home. My stay was pleasant and relaxing. Very comfy sitting, dining and TV areas and a wrap-around porch, allowed for many areas of privacy to email or read in absolute quiet. Strongly recommend as a great alternative to impersonal hotel rooming.

Pulling onto Fourth Street is a visual delight! The Garett House is a perfect example of turn of the century architecture and earns its prominent place ln this tree-lined street. Being greeted on the porch and escorted to,my room created the warm, hospitable tone for my one night stay. The home is meticulously kept. Just the right combinationc of period pieces to convince you that you're visiting family in their home! A wonderful escape! All the time you're there, you're planning your return trip!

A most enjoyable and comfortable stay. Bayberry House has been splendidly restored, and it was a pleasure to spend two nights there. My room was fine, although a little dark, and the pole controlling one of the venetian blinds was broken. I really appreciated the opportunity to spend the second night there, even though the house was closed.
Risposta del proprietario
Thanks for your note, the venetian blind has been repaired. The two floor to ceiling windows face southeast and provide direct sunlight until late afternoon and the blinds can be raised and lowered, as well as the curtains held open. I have also checked the three lamps and the two ceiling fixtures to make sure they are working properly. Room W1 is decorated in dark burgundy and gold so it is somewhat darker than room W2 which is decorated in cream and gold.

My husband and I loved our stay at Bayberry's "Westfall House"..... the decor was beautiful, the food was great and we felt right at home. The other tenants were respective and quiet, too. Personally, I LOVED the that sheets smelled sooooo good. The bed was plush, and cozy. We stayed in the "Julia" room, and highly suggest it. Also, stubenville might be a small town, but it does have some cool quant shops to check out in the historic downtown (right down the road from the bed and breakfast, in walkin distance).... it was a nice, quiet, relaxing get away! Two-Thumbs up from us:)

This place has been restored beyond imagination! Possibly the nicest B&B I've stayed in up to date. Extremely comfortable and charming. Not to mention the fact that the owners are very proactive in the restoration of the entire community not just their own B&B. Although the breakfast treats looked delicious, I would have appreciated some healthy options. But I almost cannot blame the owners for that because you can't find healthy choices anywhere in a 40 mile radius. So, with that being said, this experience is top-notch and I will always return to this place when visiting the area. Thanks Scott!
Risposta del proprietario
Thanks for the nice review. Our continental breakfast is simple we offer fresh fruit, orange juice, english muffins and bagels, and fresh pastries from our downtown bakery. Depending on the number of guests staying the more types of fruit we have, but usually melon of some sort and bananas, apples and oranges in season.

Nice little touches like basket of lotions and bath accessories in my room; and the biscotti and bar. I enjoyed coming "home" at the end of the evening and sitting in the parlor talking with friends who were staying there with me. Much better than going to our individual hotel rooms. This way we were able to really spend time together.

Gorgeous house, couldn't believe the care that went into the decorations and restoration, really tried to meet our needs, we were in OH visiting family and the house offered a great entertaining and visiting space, perfect kitchen for people who want to cook their way through their vacation, and toddler friendly even though there aren't really toys and despite some breakeable items. Our 2 year old was fully content climbing the stairs, playing with the pine cones, climbing in and out of the baskets, saying hi to the statue boy, etc. Can't recommend the place more highly and priced comparable to a hotel stay. Why would anyone ever stay in a hotel in Stuenbenville again?

My family and I stayed at Bayberry House while we were in Steubenville for a family reunion. We were blown away! The decoration is tastefully done in antiques while still making the house comfortable. My son loved running back and forth across the wrap-around porch and everyone enjoyed sitting in the TV room after a long day and relaxing. It was so nice to have a little space to spread out, and was a much better value than the 3 hotel rooms we would have needed to accommodate everyone. We will definitely be staying here again next time we are in Steubenville.

My husband and I booked the Garrett house for 3 nights. What a find! Scott was a wonderful host. The home is comfortable, beautiful, clean and tastefully decorated with both comfortable furnishings and priceless antiques. We chose full use of the kitchen and Scott furnished it with all the food items we requested. The 1st night I just walked around in awe looking at all the furnishings and antiques. They had a photo album of the restoration and transistion. Scott put so much work into this lovely home and it showed. I would highly recommend the Garrett house to a family, couple or for girls weekend away. The house has such a comforting feel I hated to leave! Thank you Scott and good luck with your current restoration!

Bayberry House was a fabulous place to stay. I strongly recommend it. Scott was amenable to providing everything we needed - and wanted. Beds and pillows were comfortable. Rooms could not have been more beautiful. The bathrooms were very spacious. The front porch and common rooms were comfortable and inviting. The kitchen had all the best of everything. Only thing I would change were the breakfast rolls - a little dry and not too healthy. But if we'd asked, I'm sure Scott would have fixed that.

Thanks for the review and sorry for the dry danish and donuts that is the first complaint we have had about our local bakery. With the continental option you also get fresh whole fruit and juice as well, and we offer other breakfast options as well as pre-shopping to stock the kitchen for you so you can have whatever you would like for breakfast. We look forward to you visiting again so we can make sure the kitchen is the way you want it. Thanks, Scott

My daughters and I reserved this house when we came to Steubenville to visit my brother and his family and all of our expectations were exceeded. We enjoy staying at B&Bs but this was special as we had the entire house to ourselves not just a room. The house is immaculate and such a treasure, beautifully restored and the area is undergoing restoration of many of these Grand older homes. We will definately return for another stay.

Wow! I don't believe there are words to describe the wonderful time we had at the Garrett House this past weekend. We are going again in two weeks; perhaps that will tell you house much we enjoyed it. The house is truly a remarkable work of art and you can see the pride in the workmanship. Each room is a beautiful, comfortable setting. We spent hours just walking through the house admiring the antiques, the restoration and enjoying its amenities. All for about the same cost of a moderately priced hotel. This is a must visit.

I stayed at the Garrett House with my boyfriend - which was unfortunately a last-minute booking of the house. However, the owner went out of his way to make it special for us - even though we got there last minute. We were more than impressed - there is a lot to look at and the house has an amazing atmosphere. You will definitely appreciate the time and effort that went into the restoration of the Garrett House. We definitely look forward to another stay, which I'm sure will be even better than the last.

Bayberry House was a fantastic experience for my family and I as we came into Steubenville for a house hunting trip. I will definitely recommend Scott and Vance's properties to my friends and family. The house was fantastic, comfortable and the bathtub and shower in the #1 suite was just wonderful; I wanted to take it home with me. I wanted to ask them if I could come to just use the spa bathroom once we move to town, since the spa was so wonderful. The stay was great, the continential breakfast was fresh and wonderful. Couldn't ask for a better place to stay.

Bayberry House offers a wonderfully appointed residence; I enjoyed the work that has gone into the decoration and the attention to detail.

A week later, and my wife and I are still talking about what a wonderful time we had staying at the Bayberry House. This is the first time we have not stayed with our families, who live locally, for the holidays. We decided rather than be bunched up on roll out beds and numerous people sharing a bathroom, to stay off on our own for sleeping accomodations. What a great choice to do so ! The house was so charming and warm it actually turned out to be a much needed get away from the hustle and bustle of the holiday activities. We truly looked forward to the quiet time at the house and the comfort of the decor. The house is so tastefully decorated and furnished it just felt like a home away from home. We look forward to our next visit without a doubt.

If you're ever looking for a place to stay in the Ohio Valley, this is the place to go. For a mere $130, my travel partner and I had an entire renovated 1870's mansion to ourselves. It truly was the perfect marriage of old and new: stunning Victorian decor, coupled with all the modern amenities that one could need (modern bathroom, kitchen, heating/AC, wireless internet). Scott and Vance are both helpful and friendly, and clearly very passionate about making Steubenville a better place to live and visit.

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at the Bayberry House, and would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone. We were very impressed with the way the old home has been beautifully restored. The furniture, fixtures, draperies, etc are tastefully done and of highest quality. It was as if we'd gone back in time to visit a prosperous ancestor. The kitchen, although maintaining its old-timey charm, has top-grade brand new appliances, as well as a full complement of pots, pans, silverware, spices, coffee, etc. for the guests' use. The fridge had fresh containers of fresh apple juice, orange juice, and milk waiting for us when we arrived. There were a variety of cereals in the pantry, if someone didn't want to partake of the delicious pastries that were brought in each morning (the pastries were so good, our son made it a point to go by the bakery that provided them to get a couple of boxes to take back to their home in Michigan). We found the home to be very comfortable and livable. There is an HD TV in the parlor (the teenagers liked that). Our hosts even provided a variety of board games we could use (we spent the last night there playing Monopoly on the big antique dining room table). The bedrooms are very large, and like the rest of the house are finely furnished. We all slept soundly - the house is extremely quiet at night. I should also mention that we found Steubenville a very interesting, quaint old town. We toured Fort Steuben Saturday afternoon, and then went through Union Cemetery (one of the most interesting, scenic cemeteries we've ever seen). To sum it up: we had a relaxing time in a fine old home, and enjoyed being together as a family. By the time Sunday morning came, we were referring to the home as "our house". We genuinely hated to leave it and go back to the "real world" of work and school! (Tom and Donna L.; Rocky River, OH)

The Bayberry was a delightful place to stay. Perfect if you have a family event, wedding or other function where you need several rooms and want everyone to stay together. The house was clean, spacious, comfortable and on a very pretty street. The owners were very friendly and accommodating. The only complaint is that breakfast isn't much. They do bring over some donuts, but that's not exactly a healthy breakfast. Might want to consider offering some fruit and less sugary options. But overall, I'd highly recommend the Bayberry!
4,6 su giugno 21, 2009
Everything about our stay was perfect. If you need a place to stay in Steubenville, you will not find better, especially if you have a large group or family. The decorations were very tasteful and the attention to detail was fantastic. The innkeepers were very accommodating for our specific needs. They are most friendly and emphasized their desire to make our stay totally comfortable and trouble-free. The house is huge and gives you room to move around and feel at home. Everything feels new and modern, and everything works. All of this for less than you would pay for any hotel in town--in fact I will never stay or recommend a hotel in town as long as Bayberry is available. Bayberry House surpasses inns we've used in New England and is a true gem. Josh & Maria (Bayberry's first official guests!)

Kqwaard and in2eternity: Thanks!
Let it be said that I suck at environmental painting. Probably because I never do them. So now I've forced myself to practice, and before this day is over, there shall be a minimum of 5 new environment sketches on my pc! Those I deem worthy of public display will be posted here. I've got two so far, have a look.
All advices concerning environment artwork is VASTLY appreciated!
Here's one more presentable environment basic practice:
Oh dear me, I made another one. This is actually starting to get entertaining. ^^ If this keeps up, I should save gather the future pics in a single post. I'm starting to feel embarrased by my frequent single-image updates.
Nice enviro studies, have to do them too ) I'm not skilled enough to criticize, but the only thing that bothers me, there is too much dark on the left side in #33
Keep posting)
Some photoshop sketches and two unfinished painting:

Awesome. Not too much, just enough. More powerful that way I think.
Ha ha! This one is hillarious
Each time I look at it, I have to laugh. Just love it.
I think I will print it out and put it on wall, if you don't mind

totally liking your style, and love the very first post!
wicked stuff. loving it all man
Thx4dropping by.
Hey, nice stuff in here.
The human sketches look really solid and promising, yet so easy.
I like them, especially the works in post #36.
Overall great sketches! Love your work on faces and the character designs from page1 are fun. Can't say much to help you with environments since I'm also just getting into it but your value studies look promising. Keep going!
interesting sketches
my Sketchbook plz help me become a better artist !
Thedaywillcome: Thanks, will keep it like that!
Vanaga: Haha thank you! Sure, I'll be happy knowing that someone has it on their wall, laughing. ^_^
Rumpenstiltzkin: Thanks!

One anatomy study from reference plus the finished sketch from earlier.
nice work ! , i really like it http://www.conceptart.org/forums/att...1&d=1289306992
and your concepts here for example
thanks for drop on my sketchbook too : )
towy: Thanks!
I joined this week's CHOW: the Siren. Here's the first sketch!
cool stuffs
Hai there nice stuff
Youre thumbnail char designs on the last page are really nice and varied lots of cool ideas i'd like moar of them. Your digital strokes are very nice your paintings already have their own style which is cool.
For environment crit, boring but especially at the initial stages studies will help because that part of your mental library is quite sparse so it cab be difficult to pull on something, you will learn a lot from first couple studies. Also when I first started trying envs I was trying to do crazy with angles and stuff and thats just adding another element to have to deal with so try and keep them simply in composition and focus on getting it nice and legit with some good design and interest, hope that helps somewhat
i agree with TFsean, good advice! also do like 50% studies 50% imagination. If your not already =D
I really love this texturised-but-not-in-excess look of your paintings!
I'm a great fan of The Dark Knight too, can't wait to see new one! Planning to grab some Batman comics soon, to inspire myself.
Human/elf drawings are really nice, I like how your use of colour in sketches. And the Siren looks promising too!
Keep up good work! I will definitely be coming back!
I really enjoy #28. The character concepts are really fun.
#42 almost reminds me of wood block craving. Neat technique.
Make a sketchbook happy, feed it a tip to improve!
solid study from post #46 ! and cant believe how you make it looks so easy having 2 people interacting, i find it so hard to draw even with reference x)
Aaaaaallright! It's been ages since last time I posted, in my own solid tradition.
Guess it's time to do something about that.
Thanks for all your comments so far!
So! Here are some recent sketches.

From Michigan to Sochi: Olympics sweaters, goalie masks – and the snow itselfBy Bridget Vis
Snow Machines Inc.
Midland-based Snow Machines Inc. spent six years designing and building a system of more than 400 snow-making machines at the Rosa Khutor resort near Sochi, the site of the ski and snowboard competitions.
Dow's luge engineering
Beyond its sponsorship, hundreds of products and technologies from Midland-based Dow Chemical Co. have been used for Olympic-related infrastructure and equipment. Dow also re-engineered the sleds of USA Luge to improve their performance by incorporating new materials and design features. Read more about that process here.

From the athletes' clothing to the snow itself, Michigan companies are well-represented at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia – and in the Olympics product market back home.
In addition, three Michigan companies have corporate involvement: Midland-based Dow Chemical Co., Battle Creek-based Kellogg Co. and Troy-based Kelly Services Inc. Making snow, 12,000 gallons of water at a time
Snow Machines Inc.
Staff from Snow Machines Inc. were in Russia in the days leading up to the games to produce snow and handle final preparations of the Olympic courses, including making sure speed events have hard, dense snow and freestyle and snowboarding venues have more pliable snow.
Snow Machines Inc. has spent two years designing and four years building the snowmaking system at the new world-class Rosa Khutor resort near Sochi. Seven years ago, no such venue existed in the Russian city – in fact it was the site of palm trees – when it was selected to host the games. SMI deals with customers from 2,000 resorts around the world, said VanderKelen, who added that SMI worked well with its Russian customers. "I would say they are very good negotiators, and hard, but fair, business people," he said.

First Sandy aid bill clears Congress
With a large bipartisan majority, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the first of three bills meant to aid victims of superstorm Sandy Friday morning despite Democratic criticism over the pace of storm relief legislation in Congress. Click here for the roll call.
The Senate approved the same bill in a voice vote a few hours later.
Republicans in the House framed their support for the measure — which provided a $9.7 billion bailout to a national flood insurance program that is almost out of money — as a way for the federal government to honor its obligation to policyholders whose homes were damaged by the storm.
"The federal government will meet its contractual obligations," said Rep. Scott Garrett.
Garrett, a conservative Republican from Wantage, sponsored the measure, which passed 354 to 67.
John Boehner, the recently re-elected Speaker of the House, was one of nine members who did not vote. Former vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan, R-Wis., voted against the bill. All representatives from New Jersey, New York and Connecticut voted for the measure.
Democrats blasted Boehner's decision earlier this week to split a $60.4 billion Sandy aid package approved by the Senate last month into three separate bills — saying the move threatened to bog down passage and slow aid to residents in desperate need of federal help.
The lion's share of the package — about $51 billion — has been broken up into two separate bills scheduled for votes on Jan. 15.
Boehner canceled a vote on the Senate bill Tuesday night, earning heavy criticism from New Jersey and New York's congressional delegation and from Governor Christie, a fellow Republican.
He announced the new package of bills the next day, which strip out $400 million from the Senate measure that House Republicans criticized was dedicated for projects — including repairs to museums in Washington, D.C. — that were unrelated to recovery efforts.

Peter Lamas Chinese Herb Stimulating Conditioner is a botanically-rich, proprietary blend of rare herbs from China. Used for centuries by Chinese doctors to treat thinning hair, the potent blend in Peter Lamas Chinese Herb Stimulating Conditioner also helps restore texture and color to greying hair and relieve an itchy, flakey scalp.

The Peter Lamas Chinese Herb Stimulating Conditioner is step 2 of the Chinese Herbs 5 Step Regenerating System.
Features & Benefits:
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Chinese Herbs Regenerating System promote healthy hair growth and manage a healthy scalp?These centuries-old, time-tested Chinese Herbs work from the inside out, strengthening, fortifying and energizing weak hair and scalp. This unique system promotes healthy hair growth, removing hair follicle blocking oils and clearing DHT build-up that can slow hair growth and even lead to premature hair loss.
How many times a week should I use the Chinese Herbs System?Use this system as often as you shampoo your hair.
How is the Chinese Herbs System different from Rogaine or Nioxin?The Chinese Herbs System combines centuries-old herbs, known for their potency, with two new technologically advanced ingredients, Swertia and Apple Stem Cells. This provides a strong and effective, natural method and approach to support healthy hair growth, unlike its predecessors that are using a chemical format, which in certain applications requires a prescription.
I have dandruff; does the Chinese Herbs System help control dandruff?The botanically-rich, innovative formulation also helps relieve flaking and itching.
Is the system effective if I only use the Chinese Herbs Shampoo or Conditioner and not the rest of the products?This approach will be effective, but quicker results will be achieved by using the entire system.
How will the Chinese Herbs Stimulating Conditioner help my hair?The Chinese Herbs Stimulating Conditioner is designed to work in conjunction with the Chinese Herbs Stimulating Shampoo. Using the same specially-formulated herbs and botanicals, the Shampoo energizes and cleanses the hair and scalp of debris, giving them maximum opportunity to breathe and grow, while the Conditioner safeguards, moisturizes and supports a healthy hair and scalp.
Can the conditioner be used with oily hair?One of the best benefits of the Conditioner is that people with oily hair can even use it liberally on the scalp, so that the scalp can benefit as well. The Conditioner is ideal for all hair types, and is one of the few conditioners oily hair thrives on.

Company InformationPeter Lamas Products unites nature and healthy science for effective products that deliver on their promise. Each product uses a synergy of exotic extracts, powerful botanicals and potent herbs to enhance all skin and hair types. Peter Lamas is committed to creating natural and organic products that are free of harmful chemicals and perform to a professional standard.
Their Inception With over 30 years experience in the beauty industry, there are very few people who have the sort of knowledge and experience Peter Lamas possesses.
Peter has seen firsthand the detrimental effect that chemicals, additives and abrasives, found in many skin and hair care products, have on people. The long-term impact of using harsh chemicals can do permanent damage to the very thing you're seeking to enhance. At the most, some of these chemicals are quite toxic and known carcinogens. The skin is the body's largest organ, and it is incredibly permeable. Every product you use isn't simply sitting on your skin, it is absorbed and enters your system.
It is with this understanding that Peter became committed to creating his own line of vegan and organic products - free of harsh chemicals. Each product is formulated with Certified Organic botanicals and natural ingredients shown to heal, not harm. Dry, brittle, lifeless hair regains its luster and strength. Dull, damaged skin becomes revitalized and refreshed.
Strictly OrganicAll Peter Lamas Products are 100% vegan. They ensure their products do not contain harmful chemicals or unnecessary additives by emphasizing the use of natural ingredients and Certified Organic botanicals. Their entire collection is paraben-free, petrochemical-free and SLS-free - for organic products that deliver on their promise.
Cruelty-Free / No Animal Testing Peter Lamas Products is committed to offering premium products that are free of any animal ingredients. Additionally, their company does not test their products on animals - They do not want to, nor do they need to. The natural ingredients in their products are safe, nourishing, and have been used by humans for centuries.
PricingChemicals are cheap and abundant, which is why most companies use them. The natural ingredients used in all Peter Lamas products are premium, more costly and difficult to obtain. Although they use the finest ingredients currently available, they also strive to keep their prices as competitive as possible to be able to offer you high-quality products at a reasonable price.
Why Natural and Organic?
Their PhilosophyPeter's mother worked as a bookkeeper in a paper mill. The offices there seemed to always be covered in a thin layer of dust from the cardboard and paper formulation. She often wore a mask over her nose and mouth at work to keep from breathing the dust. Peter recalls reading once, towards the end of her career, that people who worked in such places had a higher risk of developing multiple myeloma (bone cancer) than the general population due to the chemicals used in the manufacturing process. Shortly after she retired, his mother was diagnosed with terminal multiple myeloma.
Then there are the three close family friends -- three sisters in their 40's -- all were diagnosed with breast cancer within a year of each other. Their doctors advised them that common chemical fertilizers the women had regularly been exposed to growing up on a farm, probably played a central role in their getting the disease.
Peter has read studies that show beauty salon workers, like hair stylists and nail technicians, are five times more likely to develop multiple myeloma than the general public.
And then there was Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, a client for whom he did hair and frequently applied hair dye. Ms. Kennedy died too young from Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma cancer. Her doctors have stated publicly they believe her hair dye probably contributed to causing her cancer.
These experiences, and many others, were epiphanies for Peter. They created a personal awareness of the frightening reality that many common products especially health and beauty products which we all apply to our hair, skin, teeth and bodies -- can have devastating consequences for our long-term health.
Equally alarming, he discovered that little regulation exists in the beauty industry, and that many of the products on the shelf of your local department store, beauty salon or supermarket contain irritating and harmful ingredients, even known carcinogens.
Peter Lamas Products - Taking a Different ApproachIt is with this hard-learned perspective and a drive to research all he could about health, beauty and ingredients that he founded Peter Lamas Products. Although they remain motivated to keep up on the latest beauty and fashion trends, they are even more adamant about remaining aware of the latest scientific issues surrounding beauty ingredients and safety. Peter Lamas strives to stay ahead of the curve, using the most innovative technologies the industry has to offer. Their aim is to create high performance products to deliver stunning results that last - and that support a healthy life and lifestyle.
Since the inception of Peter Lamas Products, they have been vegan -- they have never used animal by-products or animal testing. Their hair care line was one of the first ever to be paraben-free and sodium lauryl sulphate-free. All of their products are paraben and petrochemical-free.
Each product uses a synergy of exotic extracts, powerful botanicals and potent herbs to enhance all skin and hair types. Their company is committed to offering natural and organic products that are free of harmful chemicals and perform to a professional standard. Peter Lamas unites nature and healthy science for effective products that deliver on their promise.
About Peter LamasCuban born Peter Lamas immigrated to New York City in 1961 at the age of 17. His parents had arrived in the Big Apple only a few months earlier, having fled Fidel Castro's repressive regime.
Peter, making the best of his situation, decided to continue his studies of commercial art, photography and art in the United States. At the suggestion of a friend who was a hair stylist, he decided to finance his education by doing hair and makeup part-time. As a result, he discovered he not only had a flair for doing hair and makeup, but truly enjoyed helping each client look her/his best.
After he earned his license in cosmetology, Peter interviewed with the two most important and influential names in the beauty industry: Vidal Sassoon, who revolutionized the way women's hair was cut and styled at that time; and Kenneth (one of the first "single name" celebrities), whose renowned talents attracted the celebrities of the day to his extremely elegant townhouse salon.
Although both houses offered him a position, he chose Vidal Sassoon for its reputation for intensive, hands-on training. And, this training was under the direction of Paul Mitchell - a name now behind its own collection of hair care products.
Peter worked for three years at Sassoon and when Kenneth made him an offer, he accepted. This was his chance to broaden his horizons, building on the training he already had.
The legendary Kenneth Salon Townhouse in mid-Manhattan drew not only Hollywood celebrities, but many of the leading figures in the recording industry, society and the arts. During these very happy years with Kenneth, Peter's clients included Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, Diana Ross, Jacqueline Kennedy, Gloria Vanderbilt and Faye Dunaway…to name just a few.
While Kenneth Salon also sold a makeup collection under its own name, Peter soon gained a reputation for makeup wizardry by combining his talents for art and color to create perfect beauty images for his clients. He would design make-overs for celebrities, or completely "re-do" a woman with a new hairstyle and make-up that made the most of her natural beauty assets, for everyday life
Paul Mitchell eventually re-entered Peter's life, when he asked him to become his right hand man at the Henri Bendel Salon on 57th Street in Manhattan. Bendel's was the most exciting and innovative of the fashion specialty stores in New York and had pioneered many new retail concepts, such as small boutiques, an Avenue of Shops, and an extremely fashionable Beauty Salon…all under one, very chic roof. The association with Paul Mitchell brought Peter invaluable experience in supervising, promoting, and managing a beauty business.
The alliance also gave him the opportunity to work with great names in the fashion/beauty photography: Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, and Francesco Scavullo (best known for his Cosmopolitan magazine covers and celebrity portraits). Peter was in demand to do hair/makeup for editorial photo shoots at Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Glamour and Mademoiselle, as well as magazine cover work and national print advertising.
As his experience working with supermodels grew, Peter began doing runway work for well known fashion houses both in the United States and Europe. The hair and makeup he created for the models became the finishing touches to their spring and fall collections, and it wasn't long before "Peter Lamas" became a recognized name in the industry.
In the mid 70's, with several years of experience under his belt, Peter decided it was time to branch out on his own. He put all of his beauty and business expertise to good use in the launching of his own salon: "The Reapers." This shop was truly a unique creation, and attracted a very young, upscale clientele of fashion conscious women and men.
"The Reapers" was on the cutting edge of fashion and beauty…and was known for stylish cuts that were not only flattering for each individual client, but easy to maintain. "The Reapers" became so popular, it was extended to three locations in Manhattan: the Upper East Side, the West Side, and the Wall Street area.
With a strong commitment to his clients' complete beauty needs, Peter embarked on the launch of cosmetics, skin and hair care products that would be sold exclusively in his salons under "The Reapers" name. Creating this collection gave him the experience he needed to develop formulations, colors and application techniques in beauty and skin care. It also gave him the opportunity to work closely with his laboratories and chemists to create formulas for beauty products that perform as promised.
As a result of personal experiences relating to family, close friends and clients, Peter became acutely aware of the scary reality that many common beauty products - including and especially health and beauty products which we apply to our hair, skin, teeth and bodies - contain known carcinogens or potential carcinogens, and can have devastating consequences for our long-term health.
With a drive to research all he could about health, beauty and ingredients, Peter founded Peter Lamas Products, with the overriding mission to deliver high-performance beauty products that contain healthy, natural ingredients, free of harmful chemicals. Peter is very passionate about educating consumers regarding the myths and facts of the beauty industry, having written books on the subject and often a featured guest speaker.

Add/View Comments (0)Can autistic children predict behavior by social stereotypes?
Lawrence Hirschfeld1, Elizabeth Bartmess2, Sarah White3 and Uta Frith3,
1 New School for Social Research, Departments of Psychology & Anthropology, 65 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10023, USA
2 University of Michigan, Department of Psychology, 530 Church Street, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109-1043, USA
3 UCL Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, 17 Queen Square, London WC1N 3AR, UK
- Explaining and predicting behavior involves understanding others in terms of their mental states — the so-called Theory of Mind (ToM). It also involves the capacity to understand others in terms of culturally transmitted information about group membership, for example, which social groups exist in one's culture and which stereotypes adhere to these groups. This capacity typically emerges between 3 and 5 years of age, just like ToM understanding [1,2]. Are the cognitive capacities underlying ToM and stereotypes the same or do they provide independent means of understanding and predicting the actions of others? Children with autism have a profound inability to engage in everyday social interaction, as well as impairments in verbal and nonverbal communication, which have been attributed to a severe delay in ToM development [3,4]. If the use of stereotypes and mental states were part and parcel of the same underlying cognitive process [5], then autistic children should have similar difficulties with both. We report here that 8-year-old autistic children with a mental age of 7, who fail ToM tasks, nevertheless know and use gender and race stereotypes just like normal children. This provides a powerful argument for the assumption of distinct processes in social reasoning [6] (see Supplemental data ).
We assessed race and gender stereotype knowledge with the Preschool Racial Attitudes Measure (PRAM II) [7], which presents scenarios with outline drawings using a forced-choice format as shown in Figure 1. We also assessed the propensity to avoid the use of stereotypes in predicting a protagonist's behaviour by devising a novel Conflict task. Here, the child was presented with vignettes where one prediction could be made from an individual's current mental state or habitual preference, while a different prediction could be made from his or her social category membership. The mental state used was desire expressed as 'likes to', as it is virtually the first mental state that children understand [2]. We confirmed in a simple screening test that even our youngest and least able participants were able to grasp the meaning of "he/she likes to do something".
The findings are presented in Figure 2 and are striking on several counts. First, we consider performance on the PRAM test. Here, failure in mental state reasoning did not significantly affect children's use of common social stereotypes. This is surprising, because the lack of social orientation in young children with autism must limit learning about kinds of people from implicit cultural cues [8]. In view of these difficulties, their fluent knowledge of race and gender stereotypes is astonishing. As with normally developing 3-year olds, they could readily recruit this knowledge in a picture book context to predict and explain the protagonists' behavior. The difficulties autistic children have with social communication in general and mental state reasoning in particular, did not hamper their acquisition of culturally transmitted knowledge about stereotypes. However this knowledge is acquired, the learning process must be remarkably robust if it works in early childhood, when social experience is limited, and in autism, when social experience is abnormal.
How are pernicious stereotypes overcome in normal development? Performance on the Conflict task suggests that mental-state reasoning may play a role in this. We were able to test this prediction by comparing autistic children who failed ToM tasks with those who passed these tasks and therefore were better able to predict protagonists' behavior on the basis of their mental state. These children turned out to strongly prefer mental state reasoning over stereotypical group-based reasoning, using the latter only 20% of the time when one was pitted against the other. Their performance was like that of normally developing 7-year olds, but unlike that of other autistic children who had weaker ToM ability and predicted behavior as often in line with group stereotypes as in line with the protagonist's desire or habitual preference. Still this indicates a less pronounced choice of stereotypic responses compared to the PRAM, consistent with a degree of understanding of mental states. Three-year-old, normally developing children also showed this pattern.
Does group-based social reasoning function well also in adults with autism? A recent study [9] with high-functioning adults with autistic disorder suggests that this is the case. In this study the ability to attribute stereotypic traits to photographs of people, such as trustworthiness and status, was found to be intact. Taken together, these results suggest that there are important aspects of social ability in autism, suggesting strengths rather than weaknesses, which are as yet unexplored.
