"Clean, robust, honest personal service"
Why wouldn't anyone use this firm over a commercial enterprise? answered all questions i had over email by return. The Van was an upgrade which was amazing. So clean and easy to use. No hidden extras which my friends who rented from another company were hit with expensive add ons e.g linen 100euros, Calcamper, no charge. Met us at airport on time and on return. Even came with a spare gas bottle. Had a great selection of utensils, only thing we missed was a kettle, but a pan was fine.

"Excellent Campervan trip to Barcelona F1"
We had booked our campervan for 3 of us for a trip to the Barcelona F1. We collected our 'van at the main Barcelona airport which was all organised beforehand, and the van arrived at the agreed place & time. The handover & instructions were clear & didn't take too long - even giving advice on traffic & supermarkets. We did not have any technical problems with the van during our trip, everything worked and was in place and provided as promised. The return of the van, again at the airport was a quick and smooth procedure, and our deposit was returned a couple of days after we got home. Would definitely use Calcamper again if we return to Barcelona.

"Great Adventure for thee guys aged 60 plus"
We started our holiday with two nights in Barcelona and then followed Craig's advice and got the train from Barcelona to Manressa - easy and stress free. Met up with Craig who gave us the low down on the well equpped van and we were off. Using the satnav along with travel guide provided we drove south to Villa Nova campsite on the coast and spent a wonderful few days exploring the area. At the end of the holiday when time to get to our flight was tight Craig and his wife met us at the airport and picked up the campervan - they couldn't have been more helpful. All in all a great experience and we have recommended this type of holiday to our family and friends, and if we get the chance we will do it again. Thanks to Calcamper, a small family business, who worked hard to make it easy for us, we had a wonderful holiday.

New and dreading the dx ...

|Mon, 05-30-2005 - 2:33pm
Hi everyone. I've been lurking for a few weeks now and hope you all can help provide me with a little desperately-needed perspective. My son, Calvin, turned 2 on May 7. He's a beautiful little boy with a big personality and lots of energy. He loves books, being outside and being with us. We discovered he had hypotonia when he was 6 months old because he wasn't putting any weight on his legs. We started with PT and over the course of the year he hit all his motor milestones and finally walked at 20 months. It seemed like a long time, but now looking back, it wasn't all that bad. I can now see he was making incremental progress each day. But our worries aren't over. Although he began babbling at 8 weeks (for real!) he still only has a half a dozen real words and the same number of signs. When he wants something he points and grunts. His receptive language skills seem to be good however. And now his occupational therapist says she's worried about his fleeting eye contact with her (although he's always made eye contact with us and our close friends and family) and his tendency to get "stuck" on things. What kind of things? Spinning the wheels on cars, opening and closing doors, going up and down stairs and a few others. We can distract him away from these things usually just by telling him to find something else to do, but if left to his own devices without us playing with him directly, these are his favorite activities. He does play with his toys, but not in an imaginative way and I'm not sure if ALL kids do this by two years of age. The bottom line is, we are going to see a developmental pediatrician in July and if she is at all conservative, we are going to get a dx of him somewhere on the spectrum. The spinning the wheels thing is the biggest sign as far as I can tell. So I am trying to prepare myself for this kick to the stomach. I know it's coming and in a way it will be a relief, but I can't keep myself from crying and crying and crying. Partly because I don't know what this means for him. He's my only child (the possibility of a second child has been tabled until we know what's going on with him) and I've only envisioned a typical childhood for him and now I don't know if that's even possible. I pictured school and friends and high school graduation and college ... I could go on and on. And now I feel like his speech and occupational therapists are tiptoeing around me and telling me what a great kid Calvin is ... like they're preparing me for the bad news we're about to hear. So what I need to hear is hope. Worst case scenario, we get this dx. Of course we get all the help and services going, but what can we hope for? I need to hear something good. Thank you.
Kellie & Calvin
|Mon, 05-30-2005 - 3:24pm
Dearest Kellie,
Well, we on this board have been where you are, but I want you to know that should you get the dx, the reality is not as bad as all that. Although it is tough and hard on us parents emotionally. BUT your child has language and interaction and pointing at age 2, so even if he is on the spectrum, those are good signs, big time. AND if you get the dx, he is only 2 and you will be so ahead of the game in terms of getting early intervention, which does make all the difference in the world.
The toughest part of the reality will be getting your ducks in a row to get every bit of help available and keep it, but it sounds like you already have help and that is key!!! The people you are working with can help you with finding other intervention, the fact that you have already gotten this much help this early gives you a huge leg up on other parents in knowing HOW to get the help.
My son (pdd-nos) is only (almost) 8, so I can't give you the great big picture, but my suspicions at this time is that he will big time be able to go to college (maybe online, maybe not), possibly hold down a job and be independent. At least, so far it would seem so. He has developed tons of language, his social difficulties are improving, he is able to communicate what is happening with him more and more, his episodic memory is improving, and he has loads of humor, joy and self-confidence. We have had him working very, very hard since we got his dx at age 3, with speech, OT, behavioral and psychotherapy, small groups and play therapy, even sports therapy, RDI and floortime. He is quite gifted academically, so he is lucky there. He is starting to play competitive sports (!) And he has lots of friends, most of them like him, but many NT (neurotypical) children as well. So, as far as I am concerned, at this point the future is very bright. I have the opportunity to compare him to other children that haven't had the amount of intervention he has had, and I say go for as much help as you deem necessary!
There are many great moms and specialists who post here, so these boards are just a great source of information and support and feedback. Ask away, read up, come visit often. Let us know about the dx. All help is good help, if there isn't a dx, great!, if there is, you can get to work with further interventions.
It is completely understandable that you are so frightened, but getting the eval is the very best thing you can do!!! Therefore you are being the bext mom possible. (((((HUGS)))) and take as good of care of yourself as you can.
BTW, we almost named our son Calvin. We were down to 2 choices, so we decided to see which one he looked more like at birth, and Malcolm he was!
|Mon, 05-30-2005 - 5:52pm
Hi Kellie,
Yes, your description of the "kick to the stomach" is a good one. But as you guessed, it's also a relief. I used to think that a PDD dx. would be the most awful thing in the world. But it's not. Really.
Calvin sounds like a wonderful little boy. And whatever dx. or whatever else, he is still your little Calvin. It doesn't take that away.
I know what you mean about the dreams being dashed. For some reason, I pictured my Jack (age 3.11 years) riding around in a convertible with a surfboard and lots of friends. I still haven't given up the hope (except I've decided that convertibles are too dangerous!) ;)
We have all been there. I know how it feels like you are alone, but all over the place are moms like you feeling the same things. Please don't give up hope. Calvin is SO young, you have that on your side. His brain is growing and changing every day and they more therapy he gets, the better able his brain will be to readjust and make newer and better connections. I just saw a college friend whose sister teaches kids on the spectrum and she was telling me that her sister says that so many of these kids grow up "indistinguishable" from the rest. True, it's a rough road (especially for us moms) but it is not a dead end. At all.
Calvin sounds like he has great skills -- good eye contact with some people, some words, good receptive language, the ability to sign (that's a form of communication too), etc. That all really is important.
My little bit of advice would be to stop the perseverative behavior (spinning wheels, etc.) when you see it. Just keep him moving on.
I have my good days and my bad days, but I put one foot in front of the other and try and be optimistic. I know it's hard, especially in the early days.
Take care,
|Mon, 05-30-2005 - 8:42pm
Our daughter was recently dx'd with HFA (in pencil) through our school dist. I sort of kick myself now for not taking her for preschool screening at 3 instead of 4.5. I have learned that what is done can not be undone, so we live for today and tomorrow. First, be happy you are acting on this so early. If he is on the high functioning end of the spectrum, which is most likely the case, you can still hope for all those things! It took awhile for the "label" to sink in and then I cried. Then I was done and it was time to educate myself. She started school 5weeks ago and we have noticed a wonderful, almost eerie change in her already. I say eerie becuz this is not the same child that we have been tiptoeing around for the past 4.5 yrs.!! Make sure that you take advantage of any and all assistance available to you. I hope your school district is as wonderful as ours. Good luck and its only a label, which is some form of relief. It doesn't change your love for him, only helps it to grow.
|Tue, 05-31-2005 - 3:50pm
Hi Kellie!
Welcome to the board! Having a child on the spectrum has opened up a whole new world to me. I have 2 boys, my youngest was dx'd last April as high functioning autistic. It can be challenging to raise a child with autism, but it can be just a rewarding too. It's hard to be positive all the time, so don't worry if you find yourself crying.....we've all been there too! And we still have our moments!!
Early intervention is a huge contributor in how well your son flourishes. Nathan (6) has been in speech therapy for a yr and has made such great progress. Having a special needs child, helps me to appreciate the small things, all of his accomplishments (which might seem trivial to others) bring great excitment to our family.
Nathan used to grunt and scream when he was younger. He only had a handful of words and rarely used them. He didn't really start talking til age 3 (although that was with me working with him!). He has great eye contact with family and close friends, and has always been affectionate with us too. He's in a regular kindergarten class and doing well. He's a bit quirky, always will be, but that's what makes him who he is. He tends to learn some things slower than an NT child would, but then there are things he learns rather quickly. I've learned to be more patient, explain EVERYTHING in detail to him, and repeat things as often as he needs. He's a visual learner too, so if I can "show" him something....he picks it up much quicker. He also has a magnetic calendar in his room, which helps him to understand when and what we/he is doing from day to day.
Best of luck with your appt in July! Let us know how things go!
|Wed, 06-01-2005 - 9:34pm
Kellie, your post really caught my eye because my asd son is hypotonic too and walked just shy of 22 months. He is 2.5 yrs of age right now. I remember an intervention worker noting his fleeting eye contact as he neared his 2nd birthday. Up until then his eye contact had been great and he was very sociable. In classic asd fashion he regressed in these areas and his language dropped off. We were officiallyd diagnosed 2 weeks ago.
Like yourself, my only concern for the longest time was they hypotonia. All I can say is in the little time we have been dealing with autism I have yet to meet two autistic children that are exactly the same. where they are at this stage is not predictive. I have walked the road and can tell you despite poor eye contact etc you will always feel connected to your son.
I realize it is frightening and the fact he is your only child is daunting with respect to future risks and family planning. I know this journey feels like the floor dropped out from under you. Every rule that applies to so called normal parenting completely changes.
You are perfectly justified to feel as you do, I know I had bouts of crying that just never seemed like they would stop. I finally had to be prescribed an anti depressant and it has helped tremendously, it doesn't take the issues away but does enable some better functioning and coping.
Calvin'stherapists do not know and that is why they seem to tip toe around you. They may have ideas or inclinations but in our case the diagnosis was made by a team with a developmental pediatrician/specialist. One person from any given discipline is not going to be able to say and nor do they want to. I believe they can get in a lot of trouble if they do as well.
Try to take one day at a time, the fact that Calvin is pointing is an awesome sign. In your post I see so much potential for Calvin.
You obviously love him very much and that is the most important thing. I know it is hard, you will survive and when you hear from others, you will see there are such variations between children and children doing things there parents never imagined.
Lots of love,
mom to Jason 2.5 ASD, hypotonia and Tyler 5
|Thu, 06-02-2005 - 3:15am
Yup, I've been where you are. Our son had dx of hypotonia, apraxia and then moderate autism.
I found that the autism dx set us free. No longer was I a considered 'neurotic' mother by friends and family because there were actually good reasons for my concerns. Once we had the dx, we were also able to learn the strategies to let us into his world.
I've also spent much time trying to learn about the world from an autistic point of view. (I rarely read anything written about having autism by a 'normal' person) And what I've learned is that autism is not a bad thing for those who have it. Many also say that they would not take a cure for autism if one was available. One of the biggest hurdles I've had is learning to accept the stimming and repetitive movements as part of his personality. It may look odd, but they calm and soothe him - and they don't hurt anyone - so why stop it?
Yes, I've had to let go of my dreams for what my son's life will entail, but I've also learned that he will build his own dreams and can still have a great life.
It's currently 5pm here and while many 8yo kids are out playing with friends, mine is sitting here beside me surfing the NASA website - but that's the way he is and that's OK. He also surfs for images and streaming media of car-washes...but is that really any weirder than DD looking for Barbie websites? LOL
Regarding having a second child, I don't regret having one for a moment. Because we have chosen to not to ABA, DD does not miss out on anything. Not only does she provide DS with much greater therapy than a professional ever could, but they are friends and love each other. Sure, she has to cope with the embarrassment that her brother causes with his lack of social understanding, but she's a great kid and we all support each other.
As mentioned above, we take a fairly light approach to therapy. We have never considered ABA because we believe that the intensiveness would damage our family dynamics. Likewise, even speech therapy can often take a back-seat to other family needs. But, despite never having done intense therapy and us skipping lots of speech therapy....he's making loads of progress.
|Fri, 06-03-2005 - 2:54pm
Thank you -- I actually want to thank everyone, but your response had the tone I was looking for. I need to calm down, but be realistic at the same time. A hard combination, I'm discovering. I still can't quite stop crying (it comes and goes) and I can't seem to stop watching him like a hawk wondering "Is that a sign? Is that?" But I will eventually. The next month will be the toughest, but I think once we get past this evaluation, Calvin and I will be on the road to recovery together. :-) Thank you so much.
Kellie & Calvin
|Sat, 06-04-2005 - 11:42am
I watch Nathan all the time too!! I think it's just to be expected. My eyes welt up in tears sometimes just watching him. Sometimes he'll do something or say something that just makes me sad. It's been a year now since his dx, but it still gets to me sometimes. I have gotten better though, I think it's just something that takes time.

Mixing Epoxy
Now that I am starting construction of my Wingo, does anyone have any tricks to mixing 5 minute epoxy? I guess I am usually not getting the mix quite right because it hardens, but has kind of a tacky surface feel long after the hardening time is up, although the bond seems to be strong enough. Is this a problem with the volume of the two components or how well mixed they are?
What I did was try to dispense equal length beads from the two tubes, then mix them together using a small wooden stick. It's hard to get the beads equal in volume because the two components aren't equally viscous and one of them spreads more than the other.
How exact does the mix need to be?
I am also planning to use some plastic knives as mixing and spreading tools. Does anyone have any favorite tools to make the job easier?
I am a rank beginner at this so apologize if I am asking the obvious.
|Sep 16, 2001, 09:26 PM
The 5 minute epoxy I have is from the LHS. I use equal amounts
of resin and hardner. If you use too much hardner, it sets up alot faster. For large surfaces, I use a plastic knife as you. But for small jobs, I just use a toothpick.
|Sep 16, 2001, 10:19 PM
The epoxy will harden up in ~5minutes but it wont reach full cure before 60mins. The epoxy can feel rubbery right after it start to harden, 5-10mins. It will feel tacky for atleast 30mins.
Time to harden and time to fully cure are two different things so I'd say you're not doing anything wrong.
|Sep 16, 2001, 10:22 PM
I just use an old ice-cream container lid (polyethylene) - the epoxy doesn't bond to it, so you can peel off the old set stuff and keep re-using it. To mix & apply, I just use some scrap 1/4" wide strips of MDF - just snap off the tip to get a new edge. Beacuse it is long, you can use the side of it to spread, or use the end to apply in spots - seems to work ok. As for proportions, I've never once measured - just squirt a couple of blobs about the right size and go for it - a little bit quicker or slower doesn't matter - just have everything setup before you do the mixing!!!
|Sep 16, 2001, 11:18 PM
If you haven't glued the body together yet, go to Walmart and get some 30min epoxy. It will give you time to mix throughly, apply, position the parts, and tape them together with masking tape. Pull the tape off after the epoxy has set. The 5 min sets to fast.
The secret to epoxy is mix, mix, mix. Ice cream sticks work well. Keep folding the material over it self, stir, fold.
|Sep 17, 2001, 02:06 AM
Ditto what Hoppy said, its hard to throughly mix amounts any larger than a finger nail size with the 5min stuff.
For mixing and apply small amounts w/ the 5min stuff, I got a large bag of popsicle sticks at the dollar store.
For larger surfaces that demand a more uniform layer, I use 30min stuff, mix w/ the sticks and apply with a small disposable brush(the metal handle kind).

Thanks for all the advice. I did manage to get the fuse together with the 5 minute epoxy, but in retrospect I agree that it would have been easier with the 30 minute. I have been using plastic knives and small wooden sticks to apply it. I think I will get some 30 minute epoxy to attach the plastic fuse cover since that needs to cover a large area that might be hard to mix and apply in less than 5 minutes.
I think my previous problem (with it staying tacky) was due to not mixing it completely. In the last couple of batches I spent extra time mixing it and it seems to set a lot more solidly.

Get a box of tongue depressors and vinyl gloves from the chemist, perfect for mixing and spreading, and with a glove on you can smooth off with a fingerwhilst protecting yourself from some pretty nasty chemicals.

What nobody has stated yet ..is that 5 minute, 30 minute or whatever time...is "The working time" that is the amount of time you will probably (temp. makes a difference)have to use the glue as a flowing, positionable substance. The "Cure " time is a totally different thing...(again related to ambient temp.) It may be an hour or sveral or a day or so for all the chemical bonds to complete.

I bought a big bag of popsicle sticks from Walmart for a couple of bucks in the craft section and they work great. I use a lid from a coffee can to mix on. When it hardens you can flex the lid and the epoxy just pops off. That was a tip from someone here. Give it plenty of time to set up.

Thanks for all these great hints. I got the popsicle sticks, throw-away brushes, and 30 minute epoxy (for the large areas). It helped a lot. Another thing I found was some small, throw-away plastic cups (about 1 ounce size) with graduated markings. That way, for larger mixes, I put, say, 1/4 tsp of epoxy and 1/4 tsp of hardener into the cup. The cup makes mixing easy, and works especially well with the brushes.

AMERICA/HAITI - Tension in the capital: the protest against President Martelly increases
Port au Prince (Agenzia Fides) - A part of the Haitian population is crying out for the resignation of President Michel Martelly: this is what the protesters who recently took to the streets in Delmas and in the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince say. The protest against the government started from the suburbs and reached Petionville, the area of trade and economic elite of the country, almost never a theater of social protest. According to a note sent to Fides, the discontent was palpable for days and on 7 November over three thousand demonstrators exploded, they started throwing stones and blocking the traffic while police officers fired tear gas. The demonstration, note sources of Fides, is not an isolated incident.
The Haitian government has had to face since last September, the protests against political administration, lack of public order and the high cost of living. Haiti must make terms with a significant delay in the election of the Senate (ten lawmakers), 142 councilors and 570 representatives of the National Assembly. The elections, which were to take place at the beginning of last year, have been constantly postponed. According to Fides sources, "violence in the slums of the country has been harboring for a long time, organized by non-identified sectors. The government intends to deal with it harshly". (CE) (Agenzia Fides 09/11/2013)

beautiful hotel. Had a room in the newly added building, very well done and spatious. Very good sleep. I truly recommend this place!
rooms might not be a 100% sound proof
I left my IPhone power cord and plug in the room and they forwarded them to another hotel where I will stay in a few days.
- incredible architecture - VERY comfortable bed - very clean - good wifi
- I could use a bigger pillow - the restaurant was closed - quite far from the city center - the fridge was not working
Reception is also the smokers lounge for the bar!! That's a massive no go, I couldn't believe it. Also, big wedding part in the Saturday evening, could not sleep with open window, got realmstuffy. Otherwise nice hotel!
Excellent, Excellent.
we were having breakfast a little late and at 09:40 they started closing down the breakfast area, while were still enjoying our coffee.
excellent staff, who made you feel at home immediately

EA and DICE have released more details on Battlefield 3's Battlelog.
They come fresh from the fingers of Fredrick Loving (kudos on the name), Battlelog producer at DICE.
The 'Battlefeed' will be your main window into Battlelog, showing current events around your network in real-time, explains the Battlelog rundown.
It will give you a live snapshot of what those in your network are doing in the world of Battlefield.
"The feed will encourage people to play even more," adds Loving. "They will see their friends ranking up, receiving awards they don't have yet, or getting the new cool guns they have been missing. It will increase the competitive edge. Everything you do on the battlefield is shared amongst your friends."
You'll be able to see when a friend unlocks a particularly difficult achievement and offer them kudos, the description continues on the Battlefield Blog.
"Another pal just joined a multiplayer Rush match in Operation Métro and is looking for some help - now you know, so you can quickly jump in and give them a hand."
"If someone just nabbed your dog tag in multiplayer, they can shoot you a quick note to say thanks (or, more likely, use those newly anointed bragging rights). It's all here in the real-time feed for you to share, comment and like."
A fully-featured soldier progression section is also included, bringing full stats tracking for every shot fired and every action performed in your Battlefield career.
"Battlefield players love their statistics," says Loving. "Now we will give them everything that they want while adding a social layer on top of that."
The first screenshots of Battlefield 3's Battlelog were revealed last week.

Drivers who live in Alabama may not need to be reminded, but visitors might.
Those crossing into Alabama on an interstate highway will soon see signs reading, "Welcome to Sweet Home Alabama" and the state will be paying for the privilege.
The Alabama Deparatment of Transportation is paying $75,000 for the rights to use Lynyrd Skynyrd's trademarked phrase which is held by Universal Records. The state will also pay $61,000 to put up the signs.
Some may say, why is the state spending $136,000 on signs, when other state agencies like the Department of Forensic Sciences need money to clear a backlog of criminal cases? It's a case of financial apples and oranges.
The money for the Department of Transportation comes from one part of the Alabama state budget, while the money for the Department of Forensic Sciences comes from another. You can't use money from one department to fund another. It doesn't work that way in business or in state government.
The Department of Transportation spends its allotted money in the best way it sees fit, led by a director appointed by the Governor. In this case, the money is used to encourage tourism which brings $11 billion into the state.
If you want state money spent in a different way, it's up to you to contact the governor's office or your local representative.

Very good choice for added horsepower by Goat, February 3, 2008
|Ease of Use/Installation:
|Overall Rating:
Overall a very good choice for better air flow to the throttle body. 2006 GTO 6.0L-LS2 motor. Very pleased with the fit and finish. Only item that needs to be modified on the kit was the length of the clamps at the throttle body. They need to be about 1" longer in circumferance. I reused the stock clamps.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- While the banking industry is clearly in recovery mode, numerous economic and regulatory challenges continue to pressure price multiples for some of the best-known financial players.
Using data provided by Thomson Reuters Bank Insight, we isolated the 10 actively traded bank stocks trading at the lowest multiples to consensus 2013 earnings estimates, among analysts polled by Thomson Reuters.
The stocks are limited to those with average daily trading volume of at least 50,000 shares. Our data set also excludes pure investment banks, such as Morgan Stanley (MS), which was heavily discounted, with shares trading for less than half their tangible book value and 7.5 times the consensus 2013 EPS estimate of $1.95, based on Friday's closing price of $14.61.
Now that the large banks have finished reporting their second-quarter results, investors are focused on several key challenges and opportunities:Narrowing margins. With the Federal Reserve committed to keeping short-term interest rates between zero and 0.25%, while the central bank continues to purchase long-term securities in an attempt to continue bringing down long-term rates, most banks are feeling the squeeze. Since the short rates have remained so low for so long, banks can no longer rely on shrinking funding costs to offset lower rates on new or renewed loans and on securities investments. In her firm's second-quarter industry Earnings Wrap-up for 134 banks, KBW analyst Melissa Roberts said the industry saw "significant

Not right, for i would not use the corrupt and stupid "copyright" law to

Very comfy king bed, neutral Ikea-esque decor very nice and modern, great shower; room was cool when I arrived but heated up quickly using control panel on the wall. Room service was slow to pick up but once order was placed, food arrived promptly - great presentation and very tasty. I would definitely recommend this hotel for business or pleasure. Seems to be in a great location too, although wasn't there long enough to check it out."
We had a great stay in Quebec. So pretty this time of year. Hotel within walking distance to everywhere within wall city and beyond too. Breakfast was great, different every day. The hot cocoa hit the spot. Parking a bit tight,but adequate. Rooms nice, and price hard to beat. Would definitely stay here again.La Gueule De Bois restaurant at 207 Rue de St.Vallier est, had the best food ever and hotel recommended it."
Great hotel, friendly staff, would book again anytime for overnight in Montreal.Recomended."
I've stayed at the Gouverneur before and the rooms are always clean and the hotel is safe. It's within walking distance of everywhere I like to hang in Montreal including Chinatown, the Gay Village and the Latin Quarter. I'm not into posh and I prefer to be close to the clubs and the urban scene. That's why I like the Gouverneur. Oh and also the views of the city are great."
Stayed in room 611. The room was as described. And as stated by other reviewers, the bathroom is very small. The only problem encountered was the shower tap handle, it just turned all the way around, could turn it a complete 360 and so it was a bit difficult trying to figure out the ideal water temperature. However, enjoyed our stay, great location. Would stay here again."
great location, views of the falls from our room. I had booked a king room but got a queen. Was offered free parking which I accepted. Service was excellent at reception and in the restaurant - food was fabulous! Would go again"
Room 662. It was very large! The beds were amazing! So soft, perfect. The only down part, no air circulation. We ended up opening up the patio doors and getting the cool air to blow in. But that's just us, I usually bring my own personal fan. lol I honestly loved the sleep, the bed was awesome."
This is our 2nd stay at this hotel and I would stay again..The room was clean, staff were very nice and even remembered us from when we stayed previously. The continental breakfast was perfect for us as well.."
Very enjoyable stay,excellent service and could not have asked for anything better for the price."
Was in Vancouver for a couple days and wanted to stay downtown. The hotel's location is very good and was convenient for parking, car access as well as walking to meetings."
Aveda toiletries, bathrobe and slippers, yoga mat. They don't quite match up with the cheap coffee and tea supplies though...Comfortable bed too, although some refurbishment is past due. Very convenient location (easily walkable to downtown, Gastown, False Creek), and friendly staff. If the price is right, then this is a great option!"

attack time (and there are legit uses for such), will
itself overshoot horrribly due to the gibb effect of

So, how do you implement a fast limiter if the fastest
time constant you can have is greater then 1ms?
Remember that to get to within 10 percent of the
computed gain will take multiple timeconstants....
I agree that a 'gain rider' poses no particular
problem at 44.1 or 48K, but even then lowpassing the
audio input to ensure you have the bandwidth to work
in would be a good idea (Think crash cymbal hit).
However for anything fast (and there are well
respected hardware compressors with attack TCs down to
100us), you need substantially more then 44.1 both in
the sidechain and in the gain cell and that means you
need resampling.

Not that anyone would remember me, but I am back after too long. Busy at work, new house, unsure of how to set up the new brewery etc.
Anyways, the third car garage has become my brewery, just picked up a Bayou Classic "patio stove" a spare propane tank and a couple of tall coolers to hold my carboys until I can scrounge up a fridge.
Should be burning some wort this weekend if all goes well.
Finished off my "Whiskey's" Blonde after I let half of the batch sit for about nine months. Man it was freaking good, great head, smooth and crystal clear.
Anyways it's good to be back in the swing of things.

Well you are quite right about the video captures - they are all done using fraps (as were the screenshots for all the still portait images used).
The BG, Portrait buttons and tree network were compiled with photoshop. The Finished file sitting here was put together with Adobe Flash. If you're familiar at all with basic coding, then scripting something like this is relatively simple since nothing was actually generated with the Flash Editor.

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 Windforce OC review -
GeForce GTX 660 2-way SLI - Perf results
GeForce GTX 660 2-way SLI - Perf results
On the following pages we'll show you charts done in multi-GPU mode. We'll keep the comments low and the pages filled to keep this as short as possible.
Please bare in mind that not for all comparative cards we have SLI and Crossfire results, this is an accumulation of multi-GPU records we have on file and include in the GTX 660 SLI results.
First up is Far cry 2 again with the very same settings. If your target resolution is 19x12 then 2-way SLI really works out.
If we place the results into a comparative multi-GPU chart at 19x12 then you'll notice that 2-way SLI is your way to go, GeForce GTX 660 really works out in this solution.
Quickly moving on towards Battlefield Bad Company 2, again we'll use the quality settings in the multi-GPU benchmarks identical to the single GPU tests. So this is:
- Level Upriver
- DirectX 11 enabled
- 8x Multi-sample Anti-aliasing
- 16 Anisotropic filtering
- All image quality settings enabled at maximum
Great 2-way scaling at 19x12 (!), that will be the generic consensus in all the multi-GPU benchies.
From here we'll quickly load up Battlefield 3, 2-way Scaling is very nice alright.
All test runs have enabled:
- Ultra mode
- 4x MSAA enabled
- 16x AF enabled
- HBAO enabled
We don't have too many multi-GPU results on the game available, but it's impressive enough for a set of mid-range cards alright.

For those of you who didn't see my last post, I'm trying to find a new career to pursue because my first choice (court reporter) turned out to be a dead-end. I've been trying to think about what I enjoy and what I'm interested in, and credit repair is definitely on the list. I've looked at a few online programs/exams to become a certified credit counselor, but I can't find very much information on the job outlook or earning potential.
I would appreciate any information you might have on the subject. But please don't refer me to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics/Occupational Outlook Handbook. According to them, my current career is growing and will continue to do so through 2018. Tell that to all the official court reporters being laid off and the freelancers like me who get a job once or twice a month.
Thanks in advance.
I think anyone who has been through the rebuilding forum here could work as a credit repair counselor. LOL

How was it for you? - Quotes and pictures from London 04
One of the most exhilarating & emotional days of my life. The Forumite support at Mile 18 was unbelievable, and I saw so many other Forumites either running or supporting along the way.
I appreciate that London is not the only marathon in the UK, but for a first-timer like myself, it was an experience I will take with me for the rest of my life. I will never forget that feeling of crossing the finish line in my first marathon.

We love being in on a good secret—and when it comes with classic good looks, we're over the moon. One look at Burberry's latest bucket bag and we were all winks and nods. After discovering its hidden compartment (for stashing shoes, a clutch for later or in-case-of-emergency candy), we knew this was one juicy morsel we'd have to dish.
"This bag was truly on our 100% bucket list. The exclusive tan color is so rich for fall, and the need-now silhouette will be on every fashion insider's arm."ERICA RUSSO

Weekly Libra Horoscope
This Week's Weekly Libra Horoscope |Monday 22nd December, 2014
|You can communicate with unusual quickness and clarity as the week begins. Use your excellent articulation to explore big ideas and let others know what you're really thinking. On Tuesday and Wednesday, you'll feel the depressing pressure of old problems and issues, but don't give into that maudlin mood - you're too affable and easygoing for such self-indulgent whining. On Thursday and Friday, it's time to take on something (or someone) new. Variety will spice up your state of mind, and that novelty could even bring some romance along with it. This weekend, look for harmony and beauty in life's little things - and share your perspective with someone else.
Previous Week's Weekly Libra Horoscope
|You're not in the mood for anything superficial on Monday. What you need is an intellectual conversation. Find someone you like talking to - someone smarter than you - and let yourselves go. Wednesday and Thursday, you're more interested in getting things done than in dwelling on emotions, but that's not to say you should ignore the peripheral beauty that surrounds you - it can be inspiring. Friday and Saturday you long to be around creative people, and Sunday brings you more big-picture clarity than you've had in a while. The details will strike you as insignificant.
Next Week's Weekly Libra Horoscope
|You and you-know-who are almost a circus act at this point. You have incredible chemistry. Duality is a big theme Monday and Tuesday, and flexibility is key. Wednesday and Thursday are also decidedly relationship-oriented - not just romantic relationships, but also your one-on-one relationships at home, at work and at the gym. Friday is packed with beauty and wonders - and anxieties about a certain partnership that seems to be running afoul (life is like this, the good comes with the bad) - but Saturday is as harmonious as a duet and Sunday is sprightly.

I may be a few days late on this one, but it's important enough to bring it up again. Chirlane McCray, first lady of New York, is not a "bad mom." She's one hell of a woman.
In case you missed it, McCray, wife of New York mayor Bill DeBlasio, was the subject of a New Yorker magazine profile and then a New York Post attack. In the article she talks about how she felt about the loss of independence and the responsibilities that women experience when they become mothers. She said of the birth of her first daughter Chiara, "I was 40 years old. I had a life. Especially with Chiara—will we feel guilt forever more? Of course, yes. But the truth is, I could not spend every day with her. I didn't want to do that. I looked for all kinds of reason not to do it. I love her. I have thousands of photos of her—every 1-month birthday, 2-month birthday. But I've been working since I was 14, and that part of me is me. It took a long time for me to get into 'I'm taking care of kids,' and what that means."
McCray's is a perfectly normal reaction to a massive life change. I remember missing a sense of achievement when I was on maternity leave. As a worker, I always felt a sense of accomplishment when I could check things off my to do list. At home on maternity leave, nothing was ever finished. I remember expressing those feelings only to have other people tell me, "But you are achieving so much. You are raising a child." I knew that and I wasn't undervaluing the role. I was just adjusting to a new way of life. It was frustrating to have other people try to "fix" how I felt.
That is why it is beyond frustrating that following the New Yorker article, the New York Post ran its article with the headline, "NYC's First Lady: I Was a Bad Mom." The article begins with a gross misrepresentation of McCray's' words. The author writes, "New York City's first lady, Chirlane McCray, didn't much care for her new role as a mother after daughter Chiara was born — and looked for any excuse to keep away from her little girl." The writer goes on to describe what McCray did say as a, "startlingly frank confession." Frank? Maybe. But startling? No.
We cannot allow the mainstream media to shame women who speak the truth about motherhood or anything else for that matter. It's why I urge women to "phone a friend" at least once a week. What I found while writing Mogul, Mom & Maid, was how infrequently women discuss their lives and their feelings with each other. We talk about our kids, our jobs, our kids, our spouses, our kids, and our parents, but rarely about ourselves and what is and isn't working in our lives.
And what I know from speaking with hundreds of women all across the country is that we are not alone. As I wrote in the book, "Sharing with other women, knowing we're not the only ones who are experiencing our feelings and challenges, is important. As we give voice to what is happening in our lives, we can address the challenges, make more informed decisions, and change what isn't working."
If the mainstream narratives about motherhood don't work, then we will write our own.

2002 Los Angeles Regional Winners:
Perfect Gentlemen
Dan Jordan, Tim Reeder, Mike Economou, and Jim Campbell make up The Perfect Gentlemen. They have collectively appeared in over 1500 shows, in over 40 states plus tours of England, Germany, Sweden, Russia, Canada, Mexico, and the West Indies. Collective appearances on The Simpsons, ER, Blossom, Home Improvement, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, gold and platinum recordings with Neil Diamond, and appearances with The King's Singers, The Osmond Brothers, David Frost and Jonathan Winters, are just a few of their many entertainment industry credits.
2002 Los Angeles Regional: Second Place
Undivided Musical Group
Undivided MG is a Southern California Gospel a cappella sextet. The members of Undivided MG come from different Latin American countries: Panama, Venezuela, Mexico, Colombia, and the Dominican Republic. Undivided MG was born one year ago in the choir room of the member s local church, when three friends decided to learn a song from Take 6. Their mission was to seek and find the right voices to fit those of the song. Slowly, but surely every member was invited to join. After the song was learned, we thought it would be a blessing to sing together and make it an official singing ministry. Undivided MG uses their voices to praise God in different styles, however, the group is well known in the area for their Latin a cappella sound.
2002 Los Angeles Regional: Third Place
Heartfire is a female a cappella trio that delights in sharing their music with children and adults of all ages. Drawn together by the sheer joy of making music, these three multi-talented performers light up any stage or street with their enthusiasm, vocal harmonies and gentle sense of humor. Their repertoire ranges from swing and jazz to spiritual selections to various popular songs of the ages. Heartfire also offers an Andrews Sisters repertoire, complete with costumes and wigs

12x18" | Oil on Plywood | Janet Davis 2011
This is a small commissioned piece that I did which I guess has been unwrapped by now. Hopefully it is being enjoyed in its new home in Nova Scotia. The property pictured belonged to Edwin Gill and then his son, Gerald Gill. It sits overlooking the Atlantic Ocean in Newtown, just a ten minute drive from my studio. This house and the people who have lived in it have been an important part of my childhood and what led me to appreciate my heritage.
