Acid wash, rinse, paint will tackle efflorescence problem
Acid wash, rinse, paint will tackle efflorescence problem
Bill and Kevin Burnett
Inman News
Q: In our garage, the concrete foundation, or lower part of the wall that meets the floor, is quite powdery and flaking off. Is this safe? Should we paint it? How do we prevent the concrete from flaking off?
A: Not to worry. This condition is natural, safe and common. It doesn't look good, but it won't hurt you or your house. The white powdery substance you see is called efflorescence.
In Bill's Boise, Idaho, rental he had a similar problem, but on a larger scale. At one point he decided to build a guest bedroom in the basement. The chosen room had an exterior concrete wall that doubled as the foundation.
All but about 6 inches of the wall was below grade. There was an assortment of rosebushes and other shrubs, as well as an irrigation system on the perimeter of the house. The wall was abloom with efflorescence. A quick brush of the hand dislodged powdered effluence, leaving an unsightly mark. The cause of this mess was water migrating from the flower beds through the wall.
We got to work. We cleaned up the wall, sealed and painted it. You wouldn't confuse the concrete with a smooth plaster job, although we could have gone the extra mile and done that. When we were done, Bill had a perfectly functional guest bedroom.
Any material containing Portland cement can produce efflorescence because of the water-soluble salts it contains. Portland cement, when mixed with water, is the glue that binds the aggregate and lime together to form concrete. There is approximately 140 pounds of Portland cement in each cubic yard of concrete.
Efflorescence is caused by the capillary action of water moving through concrete mix, dissolving water-soluble salts in the cement and landing on the surface. The water evaporates and the salt residue remains. In your case, salts in the cement are migrating from the earth under the slab or around the concrete footing, leaving the white powder.
Usually it's relatively easy to remove efflorescence compared with some other stains. These water-soluble salts can be removed by emulsifying them in water and scrubbing them with a wire brush, then rinsing them away with clean water.
Heavy accumulation or stubborn deposits of white efflorescence salts can be removed with a solution of one part muriatic acid to 12 parts water and scrubbing. Beware, muriatic acid is real acid and can hurt you. Be careful, follow label directions and suit up. Long-sleeve shirts, trousers, shoes and socks are a must.
Also, wear eye protection and rubber gloves. Review first aid instructions on the package so you know what to do if a stray drop of the stuff gets into an eye or other mucous membrane.
After acid-washing, slabs should be rinsed thoroughly and neutralized with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) or an equivalent. Acid residues can harm plants. If you don't neutralize and rinse the reaction products of acid on concrete, since all are soluble calcium and iron salts, they can cause more efflorescence.
To sum it up: The powder is not dangerous, it's pretty easy to get rid of and we suggest you paint the area with an elastomeric paint to help slow this natural process.

Film Review: Jurassic Park 3D (1993/2013)
SYNOPSIS: During a preview tour, a theme park suffers a major power breakdown that allows its cloned dinosaur exhibits to run amok. REVIEW: I remember the excitement I felt when I bought tickets to see "JURASSIC PARK" for the first time in 1993. Back then it was THE movie to see, with effects like no film before it. Steven Spielberg (with the help of some cutting edge CGI) made the world believe that dinosaurs could … Continue reading

So the Cardinals won their opening home preseason game, and go on the road to Tennessee next week on ESPN. How did some of the Undrafted Guys do? Lets take a look.
William Powell yet again performed well. He took the second half kickoff for a large chunk of yardage, and ran the ball well carrying it 7 times for 37 yards and a TD to seal the win.
Blake Gideon had 2 tackles with one assist last night.
I have always said that this is our most talented Undrafted rookie group in a long while and it has showed, but last night wasn't there night since the starting Offense played till the end of the First Half. I believe that the three guys listed are locks to make the roster, with Powell overtaking Alfonso Smith for the 4th roster spot. Remember I have Powell as a UDFA because he was one last year and was on the PS.

Amazing Villa - the best!!
Villa Hanevad is absolutely perfect! Morag ensured the booking process was straightforward and was incredibly helpful and friendly. It was our first time in the USA and we were very impressed with the high standard of the villa. It had everything we required and more! Everything was so clean, modern and welcoming. The location of the villa was very good. It was great to visit the many attractions in Orlando but it was equally wonderful to return to the villa and the fantastic pool at the end of a busy day. The directions that Morag gave us ensured we easily found the villa. We found Calabay Parc to be beautifully set out and maintained. It was peaceful too. From the villa, it was easy to access the Hw27 and I4 roads. We found the driving straightforward and enjoyed days out on both the East and West coasts. It took approximately 1 hr and 15 min to get to the Kennedy Space Centre and I hr and 30 min to get to Clearwater on the Gulf coast. The villa was very spacious and it really did have everything we needed. It was immaculate and well stocked with towels and extra bed linen. It was thoughtful of Morag to supply pool towels too as these often take up a lot of room in your luggage. The huge bed in the master bedroom was fantastic, we slept so well. It was fabulous to have the large en-suite bathroom. Our children thoroughly enjoyed their stay in the Mickey room. They also enjoyed the games room too. I really cannot praise the villa highly enough. I would love a return visit and I would definitely recommend staying there. Morag: thank you so much for making our first stay in the USA such a memorable one. You shared your beautiful home with us and made us feel very welcome. We couldn't have wished for more.
Very Nice house
We spent 3 wonderful weeks in this house. There was all comfort. The house is very Nice. James is a very kind owner. So as you see we enjoyed very much our holidays.
Amazing place
The place is perfect in every sense. Fully furnished and ready, starting from furniture, great kitchen and supplies, ending with the game room for kids and adults alike. Close enough to Disney, and great enough to spend the whole day in it and around the pool. Everything is like or better than advertised. Thanks Gary for the stay.

I feel our once great fleet has somewhat diminished! :(
The Swan appears to drift gracefully and effortlessly along the river, yet underneath, unseen, he is paddling frantically
It would seem that The Alliance of Ogrefasz has forgotten it was by our efforts that their region was freed from the invasion/liberation cycle imposed by the raiders/fendas
Still if they wish to become the playthings of the raiders again then let them have their freedom
Due to the recent shuffle in the Update Order targets have changed - please repost to your Squadron Leader for new orders
With the loss of our protectorate to rebel forces in The Alliance of Ogrefasz, I've finally returned to the HQ for briefings!
Welcome back Geranthia, AO had served its purpose
WB G! Shame we lost AO, still as the Skylord speaketh, it did what it needed to!!
Yeah I guess it has.
There are other more valuable prizes to be had
One's lined up in sight!! ;)

The Doctor asks Melody to help him save her parents, who are currently trying to outrun the jellies inside the robot. Amy calls out to him. He's on the floor, struggling to crawl over to the TARDIS. Melody is a bit stunned that he still cares. "River, please," he gasps out. "Who is this River?" Melody asks. "Tell me about her." Lady, I don't think you've really got the time for story hour right now. The Doctor roars with anger and pain, inches away from the TARDIS, unable to reach it. "Help me," he whimpers. His eyes brim with tears. Melody looks conflicted.
Amy and Rory run around inside the robot but come to a dead end at one of the eyes. A swarm of jellies advances on them. Amy and Rory, fearing the end, embrace one another and wait for death. Suddenly, the TARDIS materializes around them. "Doctor?" Amy asks hopefully. But it's Melody at the console. "I seem to be able to fly her," she says, surprised as anyone. "The Doctor says that I am the child of the TARDIS."
She brings her parents back to the Doctor, who is still in the process of dying. Maybe he put on the tuxedo because he knew he'd be particularly pretty in it, lying on the steps, quietly expiring. "Find her," he says to Melody. "Find River Song and tell her something from me." He tugs at the lapel of her Nazi jacket and whispers something in her ear that we don't get to hear. Melody says, "Well, I'm sure she knows," but he's already dead. Melody backs away from him. "Who is River Song?" she asks. Amy gets the robot to show her and soon Melody is staring back at her own face. River thinks for a while and cries a bit and then her hands start to glow. "Tell me the Doctor is worth it," she says to her parents. "Yes, yes, he is!" Amy says. So River kneels down beside him and takes his face in her glowing hands. He gasps and opens his eyes. "River, no! What are you doing?" "Hello, Sweetie," she says, and gives him a kiss that sends golden light swirling around them. For once, he doesn't act like she's giving him girl cooties.
When the light fades, River is just waking up in a hospital bed. Amy sits beside her and says she used all her regenerations at once. River thinks the Doctor must have known she could save him. "Rule one: the Doctor lies," says the Doctor, approaching her bedside. He leaves a fresh, new TARDIS journal on her nightstand. "She'll be fine," says a nurse. "No, she won't," the Doctor says. "She will be... amazing." Aw.
The Doctor and companions get back to the TARDIS. Amy's uneasy about just leaving her daughter behind, but the Doctor says the Sisters of the Infinite Schism have the best hospital of the universe. So that's that and they're not going to try to get her younger self back from Madame Kovarian or anything. They have too much foreknowledge, the Doctor says, looking at the date of his own impending death on the computer screen. Rory worries that all the brainwashing isn't out of River's system, considering she's in some future jail for murdering someone. He and Amy try to get the Doctor to tell them who she murdered, but he's coy about the whole thing. They wonder if they'll see River again.

"The guys in our press box kind of look for plays like that. Their corners had been sucking in pretty fast, and we saw that and we thought maybe we could get a big play out of it."

Quickly Change Between Changed Files in IntelliJ IDEA
When we develop an application we usually work on multiple files at the same time. With IntelliJ IDEA it is easy to switch between changed files in the IDE. Notice we are switching between changed files, which is very useful to find those files we were editing even if we opened other files just for viewing. With the shortcut key combination Shift + Cmd + E (Shift + Ctrl + E for Windows/Linux) we get a dialog with a list of the files that are changed most recently:
We can select a file and press Enter to open it. We can even type a part of the name of a file and the list will only show files that match what we have typed:
If files with the same name are in the list we can select the file and see at the bottom right the directory, so we can still distinguish between the files even though they have the same name.
If we want to see the recently opened files we can use the shortcut key combination Cmd + E (Ctrl + E for Windows/Linux). IntelliJ IDEA opens a new dialog with two columns. The left column shows tool window names and on the right we see files. We can select a tool window name or file name to open it:
In this dialog window we can also start typing to shorten the list:

@MISC{Brandstein97aclosed-form, author = {Michael Brandstein and Michael S. Br and John E. Adcock and Harvey F. Silverman}, title = {A Closed-Form Location Estimator for Use with Room Environment Microphone Arrays}, year = {1997}}
Introduction Microphone-array systems can be used to determine the positions of active talkers and can be electronically steered to provide spatially-selective speech acquisition. Since it is steered electronically, a microphone-array's directivity pattern can be updated rapidly to follow a moving talker or to switch between several alternating or simultaneous talkers. These features make microphone-arrays a desirable alternative to single-microphone systems for hands-free speech acquisition, especially those involving multiple or moving sources. Furthermore, the ability of microphone-array systems to determine talker location makes them attractive for use in multimedia teleconferencing systems where the location of the talker can be used not only for steering the directivity of the microphonearray, but also for pointing cameras or determining binaural cues for stereo imaging. In microphone-array systems, a directly observable signal characteristic is the time difference of arr

This plan was, of course, predicated on the assumption that the dirt road from Elkford would carry us through to Highway 40 north to Canmore. Recall, we'd been given no definitive answer as to whether the road would be open. So, off we went, leaving under broken clouds and bright sunshine for the first time in several days. As ...

Near Roma termini. Very clean. On the sixth floor which has a lift. But if you dont do lifts (like me) then you get quite fit! Good for the price.
Walking distance from the Coliseum, the Pantheon, Fontanna di Trevi or Piazza Navona and 2 min walk from main train/bus/metro station in Rome with frequent buses to both airport. Many cafe and restaurant around as well. Plus staff and facilities are great.
There is no sign of the hotel in the street so you have to go by the number in the street.
Good location (5 min from railway station), easy to find, very small and quiet hotel, just a few comfortable rooms. It seems we were there alone.
The staff are really kind and enthusiastic. They would like to help us to deal with any problem. As long as I made a request, they did their best to help me. For example, I got a prompt reply each time I asked a question. It is really important and useful for me to arrange the trip. It saved me quite a lot of time.
so convenient to the Roma Termini and the Metro A and B lines; within walking distance of the National Museum and the Diocletian Baths.
all was fine
Good location for termini and cheap eats.
Wi fi was unreliable and place was missing some basic necessities (no kettle, bar fridge, bottle opener etc) that would be expected for the price
All! It is very good place for staying for short trips
Sometimes didn't work a lift, for us it was normal
Friendly staff, clean rooms, modern bathroom
The location is in a very "seedy" area. I would be willing to pay more for a place that is in a safer location. Walking in the area late at night gives one a very uneasy feeling. When getting into the building at night, people were following us in - we asked them if they lived there, but how would we know anyway? Also, the rooms were quite simple and the beds were just okay. The rooms are located on the top floor of the building and when we arrived, the lift was broken (it was fixed the next day).
Location, clean room
1. No reception all time so cannot contact any staffs. If has any problem, we have to call directly to owner's mobile phone. 2. We found problem at main door which key cannot open it and we have to wait for 1.5 hour until the owner came to fix it. 3.Towel wasn't changed even though we noted "please make up clean room" and put towel at sink for new one but staffs didn't change it.
Great service. Couldn't have been more friendly. We were even guided to the nearest restaurants and showed the metro system. We loved it there. Very clean, great shower and great room.
We had no problems.
Really liked everything!! First, understand that this 4-room hotel is a recently-converted 6th-floor apartment. And, no doubt, the rooms are spartan: bed(s), nightstands, closet, desk & private bathroom (big shower; lots of hot water) -- but, everything is brand-new and immaculate (heating/cooling unit is fast and quiet). Some reviewers have complained about the location -- yes, street isn't "the Ritz;" however, on the positive side, it has to be the least trafficked street in a very busy part of Rome (location is great -- easily walkable to virtually all Rome's attractions [the Vatican ... maybe not so much]). Very secure front door; fast elevator; secure door to hotel's common area; secure room door (3 keys in all). If you have one of the 3 rooms facing the back courtyard, the nights are almost too quiet; if you have the one room facing the side alley, I'd imagine it is equally as quiet. Bed linens were high-quality and changed every other day (nice!). Wifi was flawlessly received in my room and fairly fast (.3Gb upload; 6Gb download -- plenty fast for FaceTiming and Skyping). Even the HDTV, although small (19"?), didn't disappoint -- tons of Italian stations -- and a few that, if you pressed the "Menu" button on the remote, allow you to toggle to English audio (watched quite a few bedtime episodes of Law & Order, Columbo, Magnum, etc. on channels 6, 22 and 39). If you're looking for a great accommodations value (clean, quiet, comfortable, private, secure, affordable) while in Rome, THIS IS IT!!!
Room size good , good security, air-condition good , location good

Near the Termini Station (most important station in Rome).
The neighborhood illumination is a bit dark, which makes the access a little strange (specially if you are arriving at night). However, nothing happened.
Clean, no frills hotel.
No issues.
There was an air condition and it was warm, it had hot water
bad Location, i had to pay when i checked in. It was not a hotel but rooms at an apartment building with no receptionist.
Good location ( nearby Termini Station), clean and quiet.
Stinky toilet.

Someone welded a keggle for me. The brass ball valve can unscrew off. There is a tag on the lever that says, "This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Should I be worried at boiling temperatures?
No California is a bunch of pussies and have that warning on everything. Are you pregnant?
everything causes cancer if you are west of the sierra nevada.
I am not pregnant. Though, I always eat for two.
There's a tiny amount of lead in brass, that's probably what that tag is all about.
Read the How to Brew link above to learn how to remove the surface lead from your brass. I've done it. It's fine. Even if you don't bother, it's probably still fine. (But it's *really* easy to remove the surface lead, so go ahead and do it.)
There is a trace amount of lead in a lot of things that end up getting into your body.

Yeah, true... Well, be watchful of course, but what I'm saying is that just about nothing is perfectly free of stuff that can harm you in large doses.
Just rinse the valve with an acid wash, vinegar, star-san etc. It will be fine unless you decided to suddenly start eating brass valves.

Arsenal lining up Inter Milan striker
This weekend we received the very disappointing news that Robin van Persie looks like being out for the rest of the season. RVP had started the season well and looked like playing a key role in any success Arsenal had this season, but the injury he picked up on International duty now leaves Arsenal without their main attacker and one of their most influential players. This looks to have forced Arsenal into making a big money move in January for a top striker to keep their season on track with 19 year old Mario Balotelli the latest player linked with a move to the emirates.
Balotelli is highly rated in Italy and is one of the countries brightest prospects, his manager Jose Mourinho however is said not to be the biggest fan of the Italy Under-21 and publicly criticised the player after Inter Milan's game with Rubin Kazan.
Wenger has previously highlighted the player as one that he feels could be one of the greatest players and who am I to argue with Arsene Wenger, possibly the greatest manager for spotting potential in young players. Balotelli is also said to be equally interested in moving to Arsenal to work under Wenger who he feels can develop his talent and make him a better player.
The type of figures that are being quoted for Balotelli is in the region of £30 million which would be a record for Wenger to spend on one player. Although this is a lot on money and not the usual way that Wenger does things Arsenal are n need of a couple of top class players in an Arsenal jersey to just take them that extra step and make them true title contenders. There is no doubt that Arsenal have one of the most talented squads in the Premiership but there is something missing that propels to the top of the table and if the rumours are true Wenger believes Balotelli is the man to do that. Whether Balotelli signs for Arsenal we will have to wait and see, but he is sure to be only one of many names that are linked with a move to the club over the coming months.

Sports & Exhibition Authority of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County en
The Sports & Exhibition Authority of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County is a municipal authority that owns and operates public sports and entertainment venues in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania and the City of Pittsburgh. It was founded as the Public Auditorium Authority of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County. In November 1999, it was renamed to its current name. It owns Mellon Arena, PNC Park, Heinz Field, David L. Lawrence Convention Center, North Shore Riverfront Park, Consol Energy Center, and the North Shore Parking Garage. In July 1998, the SEA developed the "Destination Financing Plan" to encourage Pittsburgh's image as a travel destination. The plan financed the complete redesign and expansion of the David L. Lawrence Convention Center as well as the construction of PNC Park and Heinz Field. The $1 billion in funds for these projects was raised from hotel tax and sales tax revenues, ticket surcharges for Pittsburgh Steelers tickets, parking revenues, State appropriations, federal funds, corporate funds, foundation money, and team contributions.

Last night I watched "Deadfall," a new crime thriller opening this weekend in limited release. Afterwards, I struggled for a while with the horrible -- and I mean horrible -- Southern drawl Eric Bana uses in the film. Bana is an actor I like and admire, and in the past he's put on convincing American and Israeli accents for roles. Not this time; his accent might be one of the worst I've heard delivered by a good actor in thirty years of watching movies.
That, naturally, got me thinking about other contenders for the title. A few notable stinkers popped to mind, but you know how this goes; you have a question, you put it to the hive mind on Twitter. So I asked my followers: "What is the worst accent you've ever heard come out of the mouth of a good actor?" The responses were immediate and overwhelming, and the suggestions -- some of which I had seen, some of which I'd never even heard of -- prompted a highly entertaining hour YouTubing clips of brilliant thespians doing stupid accents. It was so much fun, I decided I had to share my favorites, in this list (ranked in no particular order except for number one, which is clearly the worst ever) I'm calling "When Bad Accents Happen to Good Actors."
These men and women are indeed very good actors, some of the finest to ever appear on the silver screen. Let this be a lesson to everyone: pretending you're a Romanian philanthropist with an interest in diamonds and gorillas is not as easy as it looks. Even for the professionals.
When Bad Accents Happen to Good Actors
10. Jude Law in "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil"
9. Tim Curry in "Congo"
8. Ben Kingsley in "Sneakers"
7. John Malkovich in "Rounders"
6. Leonardo DiCaprio in "Blood Diamond"
5. Katharine Hepburn in "The Iron Petticoat"
4. Michael Caine in "The Weather Man"
3. Ewan McGregor in almost any movie where he talks like an American (i.e. "The Men Who Stare at Goats"):
2. Dick Van Dyke in "Mary Poppins"
1. Kevin Costner in "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves"
BONUS: A single, magical line by Keanu "Dude, I'm, Like Not British" Reeves from "Bram Stoker's Dracula"

Have any of you ever spoken to someone from South Africa? I Had friend who grew up speaking Africaanes and his accent is almost identical. People don't realize how difficult an accent like that is to emulate, but his was great and even my friend agreed.
Chris | March 25, 2014 12:25 AM
There's an entire VanityFair article written by an expert and South Africa basically saying how amazing Leo's accent was, to quote:
"As far as their accents go, I donât really think itâs closeâLeo is just unbelievable. Although heâs not perfect, I could believe that he was a South African (he plays a Zimbabwean [in The Blood Diamond], but the accents can be the same). "

I think DiCaprio is a really good actor, but Meryl Streep he is not. He can't really do accents very well, and to me it always sounds really inauthentic. Which isn't exactly ideal when he seems to try a different accent in every film he does.
derry | May 19, 2013 6:31 PM
I agree, I cannot usually stand Leonardo DiCaprio, but he really went up in my estimations as a result of his performance in Blood Diamond.
Alex | December 7, 2012 7:38 AM
Even though I am not a native English speaker, I join the ranks of those who think Leonardo DiCaprio actually did a pretty good job in "Blood Diamond".
Josh | December 6, 2012 3:30 PM
Oh Keanu. I actually think he's unfairly maligned as an actor, but man. That Dracula clip makes me bust out laughing every time, without fail.
Skippy | December 6, 2012 3:06 PM
What?! No Julia Roberts in "Mary Reilly?" I thought that was legendary.
Also, I am a huge fan of the movie "Quiz Show," but the one thing that drives me crazy about it is the accents wandering in and out. Rob Morrow has a Boston accent...sometimes. Every so often Ralph Fiennes busts out an exaggerated New York accent, which then promptly disappears (and which his character doesn't need). Accent consistency clearly wasn't a priority when they made this.
Paco | December 6, 2012 3:01 PM

Shane Slater | December 6, 2012 2:18 PM
Leonardo DiCaprio?? Oh please. That was excellent attempt at a very difficult accent. I lived in Cape Town for 2 years and I was very impressed.
Maxwell Haddad | December 6, 2012 1:51 PM
The only one on the list I have a hard time with is DiCaprio in Blood Diamond. That's a pretty authentic South African accent, if you ask me. Damon's attempt at South African in Invictus was far less convincing.
Jeremy Schobel | December 6, 2012 1:44 PM
I thought Ewan McGregor's American accent was fine in I Love You Phillip Morris, but maybe that had something to do with the effeminate southern drawl.

Bryan Denton on photographing hostile conflict zones
"I'm not as interested in conflict as I'm interested in change, " states Bryan Denton when asked what it is he finds interesting to shoot in the Middle East. "The Arab world, and the greater Islamic world …" he pauses, "I think it's one of the most photographed regions in the world, but I also think it's one of the least understood."
Standing at just over 6'6", it's hard to imagine he could inconspicuously document dangerous conflict zones, but not only has he covered combat, victims, and participants, he has produced images that take Westerners on a journey to places they would otherwise never see, but not just with the intent to show but to understand.
Bryan Denton's work has been featured in The New York Times, TIME, The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, and many more. He is currently based out of Beirut, Lebanon.
We sat down with Bryan Denton to hear more about his experiences as a conflict photographer in one of the most hostile parts of the world.

This is my first post but I have been searching around for solutions for a couple of weeks now. I live in Green Bay, WI (need to get this post in before MNF Bears game) and don't really know where to turn for advice locally so I thought I would do some web research which is how I found this great forum! While I thought I knew a decent amount of info on home theaters, I have quickly discovered that not only is my current equipment way behind the times, but so is my knowledge.
First off, I will tell you about my current set up and where I am looking to go:
Home theater is part of large open room with bar. Room size is 20ft wide x 29 feet long.
Projector seating area is carpeted with light berber and is approx. 20ft wide x 15 feet. The area behind the carpet (20 x 14) is tiled. We have 3 recliners directly in front of the screen about 14 feet back plus a couch on the left wall (of course I never sit here). I may look to replace these three recliners with 4 total and would look potentially getting some Buttkickers for them - not sure yet. There are no windows in the room so we have complete control of the lights. We use the projector for movies and sports mainly. Rarely do we ever have any lights on during viewing (mainly due to the limitation of the projector).
Projector = Sharpvision XV-Z10000 = .8 DLP, 800 lumens, 2600:1, 1080i, projector is ~18" long - limited to DVI or component connections
Screen = 106" Draper Targa with hi-def grey 16:9
*I have a metal I-Beam running the width of my room and not very high. As a result, I have to mount current/future projectors on the front side of this beam. This results in an approx. limit of only 12.5' or 150 inch throw. As a result, my current projector only throws ~90" image on my 106" screen.
Speakers - I have 7 Nile HD in-wall speakers, center speaker, 2 larger fronts, and 4 surround speakers of the same side - 2 sides, and 2 rears. I am not positive the model number of these but they were high end 9-10 years ago and still sound great so I don't plan to replace these. I also have a Mirage BPS-150 wt bi-polar Sub located in left front corner of room. I would potentially consider a second sub but this is prob. not a priority.
Sound - I have a Sunfire Ultimate receiver which is 7+1 I believe - all at 200wt/chan. This was a great receiver at the time but lacks the connections needed for todays HDMI input/outputs. Because of this, I just ordered a Onkyo TX717 receiver and will connect the Sunfire and use the power from it once I receive it.
I have never had my audio or video professionally set up or calibrated but would be interested in having this done for sure, especially if I replace the projector.
This is what I am looking to do:
Buy a new projector that will be able to play 3D, improve resolution/picture quality, and throw a min of 106 for my current screen. I would also entertain replacing my screen if I could go up to a 119 or 133" if possible. If so, I would look for a tab-tensioned electric version with ReAct coating (same as new Stewart Firehawk I am told).
My dilemma is whether to buy a ~$2.5 - 4,000 projector now and then replace with 4K projector in 2-3 years, spend nearly $15K for a 4K Sony today, or do nothing until the 4K's come down to ~$7500 (2 years?). The projectors I am considering if not the 4K Sony would include the JVC DLA-500, Panasonic AE8000, or the Sony VPL-HW55ES.
Also, if I am taking the plunge on the projector and potentially a new screen, are there any other must have pieces of equipment (Darblet/processors/etc..) that I should consider? I don't want to throw money in the wind but don't want to leave out any critical pieces that I haven't considers.
I have seen that others have painted their walls/ceilings black and laid black material in front of the screen. This is probably not something that will work for us….still, I would consider if it is critical.
Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to include as much as possible. If necessary, I can try to include images.
Thank you for any input and thoughts on what I should do!!!!

Thanks again!
Ok, I ordered the Sony HW-55es. Once I have it, I will decide whether to upgrade from my 106" screen to a 119" Draper ReAct Premier. Anyone familiar with this screen?

Until recently this was a battle that Anton Helman and the team from Emergency Medicine Cases faced. Hundreds of hours of resources as well as production and hosting costs had to be partially recouped with a subscription based model of education provision.
However, thanks to some awesome benefactors the good news is…(and this is not an April Fools Joke), that ALL the EM Cases archives of EM Cases and ALL future EM Cases podcasts will be FOAMed – with free online open access to all the fantastic medical education material from April 1st 2014.
We are grateful to North York General Hospital, Mount Sinai Hospital and the Schwartz-Reisman Emergency Medicine Institute (SREMI) for their support in helping us make EM Cases a universally accessible educational resource into the future
