Touchdown, Vancouver
When you land after midnight, you can either power thru and drive the 90 minutes up to Whistler or you can treat yourself to a good night's sleep at the Rosewood Georgia Hotel (rosewoodhotels.com/en/hotelgeorgia) [that's the pool, left], located in the heart of the city. Its featherbed mattresses guarantee a great night's sleep and its restaurant, Hawksworth (hawksworthrestaurant.com), is THE eatery of the moment.

Customer's Challenge
Barclays is a major global financial services provider engaged in retail and commercial banking, credit cards, investment banking, wealth management and investment management services, with an extensive international presence in Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia. In the UK alone it serves over 15 million customers and has over
1,700 branches. Due to the nature of their work, company executives are frequently required to carry sensitive and potentially valuable information. With the risk of loss of any such information presenting a clear security risk, Barclays selected autosafe® to provide a solution.
autosafe® Solution
After evaluating the model of laptop and size of briefcase the executives used, autosafe® selected the S30-F front loading car boot safes for use in each of the executive's vehicles. The dimensions of the S30-F made it suitable to house the laptop, briefcase, or the two together, and allowed them to be loaded into or removed from the vehicle quickly and conveniently.
Benefits to our customer
The key benefits Barclays gained from the autosafe® solution:
- Mitigated Risk – The cost associated with the loss of any executive's laptops or briefcases represented a high a security risk.
- Minimise business disruption – Executives time is valuable and the loss of information or equipment would have an associated impact on work time.

University of Auckland votes for fee hikes, yet again
Continue reading → ShareMonday 20 OctoberPress Release: Auckland University Students' Association (AUSA)"The decision today marks a decade of fee hikes and poor decision making on behalf of the University of Auckland," said Cate Bell, President of the Auckland University Students' Association (AUSA). Her sentiment was echoed by the hundreds of Auckland students who protested throughout the day, calling on the government and the University's Vice-Chancellor to pay attention to concerns about pricing students out of tertiary study.
"We have seen a declining roll in five out of the eight universities in New Zealand last year as increasing cost keeps students away from study. What has been exposed is that demand for education isn't exhaustive and fantastical levels of debt are a deterrent for students participating in higher education," says Bell.

New Zealand Universities Tumble Down World Rankings
Continue reading → Share2 October 2014
The Times Higher Education rankings released today show New Zealand universities are not keeping pace with the rest of the world. The fall in rankings can be attributed to inadequate funding compared to international best practice.
"If New Zealand wants to retain its place on the world stage as a viable destination for export education, this Government needs to make a serious funding commitment," said New Zealand Union of Students' Associations President Daniel Haines.

This is the outside of the house on Halloween. The lights across the front porch are orange in a black garland. The lights in the trees are Jack O'Lanterns and 4 of the 5 strands were in a bag from the thrift store this fall.
Several of the Trick or Treaters were very complimentary about the outside decor. Now I need to get it put away and get ready for the Christmas lights. TTFN,

What great way to welcome the Trick or Treaters! I bet your house was everyone's favorite! I know it would be mine. Since you have a LOT of Christmas stuff, when do you start doing your decorating? How long do you leave it up? I'm so excited about seeing what you do that I want the details now. LOL. I just got my Halloween decor all down, but only part of it packed back up. My Dad's had a really bad week and its been hard to get anything done while taking care of him. hugs, Karen |

It looks really nice Candy, and that big lighted Jack o Lantern sure says "come get your treats here." How great that you found most of the lights for good prices at the TS too. Sure makes decorating more fun when you get bargains. Luvs |
Candy, I love the way you decorated the outside of your house. It was very welcoming for the trick or treaters. Even better that you got such a bargain! NanaK |
- Posted by jeannespines (My Page) on Thu, Nov 4, 10 at 10:12
Great lights, candy! No question about a welcoming at your front door! Fun! Fun! TFS! Jeanne S. purplemoon...if you find a way to slo-o-w things down a bit, pass it on (please)...hugs to you & your DD. |

Candy, Oh, I love the orange lights. I didn't decorate this year 'cause we were on a vacation in connection with my nephew's wedding at the end of October. What strikes me most is the four jack o'lanterns on the porch (steps?). I really like those--I think I'll do that next year. - Magpie |

Experiencing Christ Together, Student Edition Curriculum
The Experiencing Christ Together series is the newest discipleship course from Life Together. These six new study guides have six sessions each and enable small groups to explore the power and life application of Jesus' teaching on the five biblical purposes of a Christian life by closely examining Christ's model in the Gospels. The first book lays the foundation of who Christ is and what he has done for us. The other five books explore how Jesus trained his followers to live out the five basic biblical purposes for life. Each study includes a group project.
Students understand that they were created for a reason---they know God had something in mind when he knit them together. The challenge is helping your students unlock that knowledge and start living the life they were designed for.
Experiencing Christ Together Student Edition (modeled after Experiencing Christ Together adult curriculum) brings your students face to face with Jesus, the one who holds the key to living for God. By studying Jesus' words and life, these small group studies will take your students to the heart of what it means to live purposefully for God.
Included in the Experiencing Christ Together Student Edition curriculum are these studies:
* Beginning in Jesus
* Connecting in Jesus
* Growing in Jesus
* Serving Like Jesus
* Sharing Jesus
* Surrendering to Jesus
Taken together, the Experiencing Christ Together Student Edition curriculum represent thirty-six individual sessions (almost a year's worth of small-group studies) all aimed at helping your students learn to follow God's purpose for their lives. Each piece is available separately.

Suffusion XXII – The Making Of The Print
June 15, 2012 | Leave a Comment |
I'm having a great time printing this series of images!
At first glance, they look like classic black and white images. In reality, they're full color captures of a near neutral subject, processed and printed as color images. The trace amounts of color from the original subject make a very subtle but meaningful addition to the final image and print.
The trace amounts of color in the image are so subtle, I wasn't sure which color management options would yield the best printed results; shadow detail, gradation, neutrality and graybalance all play major roles.
To get the final prints today, I tested multiple printer color management routes (Photoshop, Printer, Printer Adv B&W)(my ImagePrint tests are pending). Using Printer color management for color offered the results I was looking for – not Photoshop, which clipped deep shadow detail and not Printer Adv B&W which rendered warm grays by default and cool toning solutions added more cool toning to the highlights than the shadows making the prints look like they carried a faint color cross).
They're really touchy images. I found out how touchy when I went from 4×6 proofs to 11×14 prints, which when enlarged looked slightly lighter and lower contrast. A contrast curve for enlargement solved this.
At larger scale the noise became an issue, which I'm sleeping on. On the one hand, the subject is made of particles of water, which you can see when you are there. On the other hand it looks distracting to people who don't know this. Water blurs with motion but the motion is frozen in these very fast exposures. I polled other people around me (including my father). Then I settled on an unexpected solution. I let some of the noise come through only in the areas of greatest focus, drawing slightly more attention to them. (Some noise can makes images appear sharper.)
There was a another surprise. I tested the images on glossy paper (Epson Exhibition Fine Art Paper). The extra depth in the blacks made another improvement in the image, so much so that it was worth the trade off for the soft surface of the matte paper. I made a similar test with a related series, Fumo, and didn't make this choice. But here it was clear. This is the first time I've made my final prints on glossy paper.
I made these images while scouting my 2011 Focus On Nature workshop with Ragnar Th Sigurdsson and Arthur Meyerson. Arthur and I, two colorists who love the colors black gray and white and talk about them as colors.
I'm looking forward to returning to Iceland (and this waterfall) this August to lead a workshops again for Focus On Nature with +Einar Erlendsson , +Ragnar Th. Sigurdsson and +seth resnick . +Arthur Meyerson Arthur Meyerson will join us at the end of our Iceland workshop for our Arctic Voyage workshop/cruise from Longyearben to Greenland and finally back to Iceland.
We have a few more spaces left our Iceland workshop.
There's one space left in our Greenland workshop.
There are a two more spaces in my Fine Digital Print Advanced workshop.

"Ron Martinsen is an internationally renowned commercial photographer who has educated over 800,000 visitors on his popular Photography and Photoshop blog.

Ron Martinsen's ebook Printing 101 is packed with digital printing tips and tricks, peppered with links to more resources. In a casual personal tone he offers advice based on his real world experience.

Outgoing Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert warns there will soon be a confrontation between Israel and Hamas.
He says it's only a question of time. The prime minister says his country is not eager for it, but if there's a need to fight Hamas they will do so.
Click the player to watch the CBN News report and Pat Robertson's comments about Ehud Olmert's actions.
A ceasefire in and around the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip has been in effect for five months. But militants have launched sporadic rocket and mortar attacks.
In response, Israel has tightened control of the territory, but Tuesday allowed the delivery of fuel to the only Palestinian power plant.

I have an Angel Trumpet in a pot. I have been growing this for 2 years and it is 9 feet tall with beautiful blossoms. I have alway's watered it morning and night with 1/2 teaspoon Miracle-Gro per 2 gal. water. The leaves have started to turn yellow and are falling off. Tried 1 teaspoon Epson salt per gal. water a few day's ago. Did this once, no change. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks; Restless |

Check for spider mites. |

That's what angel trumpet leaves do, fall off...lol...if they're not falling off then the thing must have died. It might be rootbound, the light might have changed, it might have been too dry, the temps can cause it, drafts when the plant is inside, spider mites, whiteflies. If it's not buggy, change it into a new pot and fertilize it after about two weeks. |
- Posted by karyn1 MD 7 (email@example.com) on Sat, Jul 28, 07 at 23:04
It's common for the older foliage to drop. Are you feeding it with every watering? I feed my brugs once or twice a week during the growing season but not daily. I also use epsom salts once a month. My large brugs are in 25 gallon containers. Is your brug droopy when you water it? If not you might be giving it too much water which can cause the foliage to yellow. Karyn |
Hi; I would like to thank everyone for your help. I don't know how I over looked mites. That seems to be what it was after buyorse11888 mentioned it, I took a better look. I sprayed the plant 24 hours ago and it already looks better. Restless |

What do we spray the anger trumpets with for spidermites Barb |
- Posted by sultry_jasmine_night z10 (My Page) on Sun, Mar 2, 08 at 12:43
Hi Barb, you can use NEEM for the common red spidermites or two spotted spidermites. That is the one that is most commonly seen and NEEM will work pretty good on those. There are more rarely a broad mite which is more resistant to most pesticides that is better sprayed with Avid or other specific miticides. Are you new to growing angel trumpets? |
- Posted by rosepedal Four seasons NE WI Z (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sun, Mar 2, 08 at 13:43
Thanks for the information. I am a newbie. 100 species that is awesome. I have a baby datura cream and sugar that is my prized plant for the year. I have two species of angels growing that I started from cuttings this winter. My neighbor lady said to use murphys oil soap and water.... Barb |

What is the proportion of either the alcohol to water or oil soap to water? |
- Posted by Maxie Davis 7(email@example.com) onSun, Sep 11, 11 at 8:02
I would also like to know what part alcohol to water and Murphy oil soap to water you use on angel trumpets. Maxie |
I have two angel trumpets one is fine but not flowering yet the other although flowering it's leaves have small holes in them and are going yellow I presume due to mites, one member suggested alcohol in water may I ask as I am from the UK what type of alcohol is this? and how many parts alcohol to water? Thank you for any help |
Small holes in the leaves suggests snails and slugs - place some slug bait around the soil and that should take care of them until it rains. I put my slug bait in a clear plastic glass, laid on its side, to keep it from getting rained on. You don't need much - maybe a tablespoon. You can also put the bait in a beer bottle to keep it dry. |

The 'Transformers 3' extras casting call is open in Chicago for those who are interested in playing a part in this incredible movie franchise. With each movie selling out the box-office once it hits theaters, one should anticipate many fans trying out for parts in this robot-filled flick.
Although now without Megan Fox, Victoria's Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has already been chosen as a replacement, providing just as much eye-candy for this action film. It's guaranteed that regardless, many will be trying out for the 'Transformers 3' extras casting call. Good luck!

We just had Mannington Adura Distinctive Plank Ashford Walnut (color: "Foxwood") installed. We had a hard time deciding on a product from the little samples, so I thought others might find it helpful to see some photos of an actual installation. We had it professionally installed. We chose to have it glued down on ULAY (new plywood) underlayment, but it also comes in a "Loc'n'Go" version (floating). Anyway, here are some photos. Hope they are helpful to others trying to decide on a floor.
New ULAY being installed: Installation in process. Note the many boxes lying opened on the fireplace hearth. They were delivered several days prior to installation so the vinyl could acclimate to the temperature and humidity of the home. Rolling the planks with the 3-part, 100-pound roller. Installation nearly complete. Later steps included replacing baseboards, adding quarter round to the base of the fireplace, adding dark caulk around the stair railing, and cleaning the floor. We are pleased with the way the floor looks. It is somewhat dark, but we could not find a lighter color that did not clash with the oak woodwork that was already there. The darker color does show dust and dog hair, but it is extremely easy to clean. I have been using a microfiber mop, but just ordered a Bissell Versus stick vacuum that should make that even easier. I can tell it will require a daily "sweep-through" but it takes less than 10 minutes (much easier than vacuuming carpet). We chose the Adura because it contains aluminum oxide in the wear layer (microscopic clear ceramic beads). We chose a pattern in the Distinctive Plank collection because it had the graining and texture. The Adura does have fairly frequent pattern repeats; we were pleased to have an installer who was very careful about randomizing both the pattern repeats and the plank lengths. We investigated Allure, Novalis, Duraplank, Konecto, Karndean, and Adura prior to making a decision. There are a lot of good choices; I am not trying to "push" the Mannington Adura. I just thought that since we have nearly completed the process, this information might be helpful to others. So far we are very pleased with this floor. |

I was very interested in your post since I am researching vinyl plank flooring to install in the condo I am remodeling. Mannington Adura sounds great--but I have a question. I am mobility impaired--use a walker--and fear slippery floors. I need some slide--but not too much. How is the Adura surface? Thanking you in advance. |
Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting pics! I've been trying to decide between the Adura Walnut or Adura Hickory, and your photos and information are so helpful. I have a wonderful dog who sheds golden fur everyday, and I wondered if the Walnut may be too dark and reveal EVERY strand. I was considering one shade lighter than the Foxwood, but after your comments I think I may go for the Hickory. Your floor looks beautiful. Also, now that you've had it a couple of months, would you still choose vinyl planks if you had it to do over? Thanks again for sharing. |

With 75 million dogs in America, it's a good idea to know about dog bite treatment. The risk for bites is highest for dog owners, and for children between the ages of five and nine. Although dogs have rounded teeth, the pressure of their bites can cause significant damage to skin, tissue, muscle, bones, nerves, and blood vessels. Rabies is a big concern, too. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates 4.5 million dog bites each year. Since many people don't report attacks or seek medical care, the actual number is probably much higher. What should you do if your child or someone else is bitten by a dog? Here are the items to have on hand, and the treatment steps to take.
Materials Needed:
- Gauze pads
- Terry cloth towels
- Soap and water
- Saline solution
- Antibiotic ointment
- First aid bandages
- Separate the victim and the dog. Move the dog bite victim to a safe place, away from the attack dog. This will prevent further bites and injuries. Of course, use caution and wear protective gear around the assailant dog, if necessary, to avoid injury to yourself.
- Control the bleeding. Control bleeding by putting direct pressure on the dog bite wound. Gauze pads are good because they hold the blood on the wound and promote clotting. Terry cloth towels work almost as well.
- Clean the wound. After the bleeding has stopped, clean the wound with soap and water. Wash away as much dirt as possible. Health care professionals use a saline (salt water) solution for irrigating dirt and bacteria away from the wound.
- Dress the wound. Put a thin layer of antibiotic ointment on the wound before covering it. Use clean, dry first aid bandages to cover the wound.
- Watch for signs of infection. If the skin has minimal abrasions, watch for signs of infection. These include redness, swelling, heat, and pus. Most dog bites cause bacterial infections, like streptococcus and staphylococcus.
- Seek medical attention, if needed. If the bite caused a severe skin break, like a laceration or deep puncture wound, seek medical care immediately. Some bites require stitches, and facial wounds usually require surgery.
- Determine the dog's rabies status. Find out the status of the dog's rabies immunization, whether or not you seek medical care. If the dog was not immunized, the victim may require rabies therapy. This should begin as soon as possible.
- Determine the victim's tetanus status. Find out the status of the victim's tetanus immunization. Medical professionals need to know the victim's current medications and allergies, too.

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
5 When the Message we preached came to you, it wasn't just words. Something happened in you. The Holy Spirit put steel in your convictions. | 5 because our gospel came to you not simply with words, but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction. You know how we lived among you for your sake. |
6 and determined to live that way yourselves. In imitating us, you imitated the Master. Although great trouble accompanied the Word, you were able to take great joy from the Holy Spirit! - taking the trouble with the joy, the joy with the trouble. | 6 You became imitators of us and of the Lord; in spite of severe suffering, you welcomed the message with the joy given by the Holy Spirit. |
7 Do you know that all over the provinces of both Macedonia and Achaia believers look up to you? | 7 And so you became a model to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia. |
8 The word has gotten around. Your lives are echoing the Master's Word, not only in the provinces but all over the place. The news of your faith in God is out. We don't even have to say anything anymore - you're the message! | 8 The Lord's message rang out from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia--your faith in God has become known everywhere. Therefore we do not need to say anything about it, |
9 People come up and tell us how you received us with open arms, how you deserted the dead idols of your old life so you could embrace and serve God, the true God. | 9 for they themselves report what kind of reception you gave us. They tell how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, |
10 They marvel at how expectantly you await the arrival of his Son, whom he raised from the dead - Jesus, who rescued us from certain doom. | 10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead--Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath. |

It's helpful to know where the plant is located (city, state). Looks like Verbena bonariensis which is not native to the United States. |

My name is Chris Brown!
Facts about Chris Brown
- Breed: Domestic Mediumhair
- Color: Black (All)
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Medium
Chris Brown's Info...
I am already neutered and up to date with shots.
Other Pets at Animal Hospital of Richboro
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Chris Brown, a Richboro Domestic Mediumhair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Mediumhair for sale in Richboro, or seeking a Domestic Mediumhair kitten from a breeder in Richboro.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Richboro already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Richboro breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Mediumhair breeders who help with Domestic Mediumhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Richboro paves the way for another one to be saved.

Typically the Writers Guild of America have a great track record of predicting eventual Academy Award winners. However, this year due to certain high profile films deemed not eligible under the WGA guidelines, their picks will probably differ from the Oscar nominations. 12 Years A Slave, Philomena, Fruitvale Station and Rush were just a few of the dozen high-profile scripts ineligible.
Of the eligible films, the notable snubs include Gravity, Saving Mr. Banks, The Butler and Inside Llewyn Davis. Check out the films that were nominated below. Results were based on voting by the WGA's 12,000 members. The awards show will be held February 1 with simultaneous ceremonies in Los Angeles and New York.
Another day, another batch of nominations from a different guild. This time it's the Writers Guild of America's turn. Next to the acting, Best Picture and Best Director awards, the writing mentions are probably the next prestigious. In all truthfulness, they should probably receive even more praise. Without the script, you have nada or in some cases trainwrecks like John Carter and Oogieloves In The BIG Balloon Adventure ;)
Like the Art Direction nods the other day, it pays to learn what these various groups nominate. More often than not, they're the same people who make up certain branches of the Academy voters. If you want to win bragging rights with your Oscar office pool or your friend's annual Academy Awards party, take note.
The most glaring omission from the 2013 Writers Guild of America nominations is the Les Miserables snub. Sure, most of the film is sung, but without a writing nod, it certainly decreases their chances for an Oscar for Best Picture. On the flip side, it's nice to see films like Looper and Flight to finally get some love. Check out all the honorees below for Original Screenplay, Adapted Screenplay and Documentary Screenplay. The winners will be announced Sunday, Feb. 17 in New York City.

You can consider the difficulties with growing hair over, because through this article you will find out how easy it actually is. If you are one of those people who think that hair growth has something to do with moon phases or that a bunch of pills can fix your hair, you should change your attitude. This is because you can grow natural hair relatively quickly by knowing a few facts about its growth rate and proper hair treatments. All hair grows at the average speed of half an inch a month and you can make it long and healthy if you provide enough time for its care.
There are a huge number of tips for growing out hair properly, but here we summarize the most important ones.
1. Healthy living habits result in healthy hair
The first thing you need to take care of is your diet. What your body consumes is what your hair consumes as well. Therefore, the food that is not varied and that lacks vitamins and minerals will have a negative effect on your hair. Did you know that people suffering from some vitamin deficiencies have brittle hair? The conclusion is that you should provide your body with a lot of fruit and vegetable vitamins and hydrate it with a regular water intake. In this way, you will make your hair recover and improve your hair's health along with your overall body fitness.
2. Regular hair trims are a way to long hair
This may not seem to be the case at first, but frequent hair trims will enable proper growth of your hair. One of the bad hair causes is the abundance of split and dry hair ends. An occasional trim, which means shortening your hair by a half of an inch at the most, will do wonders for your hair. Rely on professionals or yourself to do the proper trimming job and your hair will be stimulated to grow long easily. See how often you need to trim your hair, based on the quality of treatment you provide for your hair daily. Regular trimming is one of the first steps you need to make in order to grow natural hair long.
3. Your hair might need products for moisturizing
There are some types of hair that lose moisture very quickly and so the hair ends dry and break. This is especially true for black hair, but not limited to it. If this is the case with your hair, buy some moisturizing products such as shampoos and conditioners to improve your hair quality.
4. Treat your hair gently
Do not think that combing your hair is always beneficial for it. Actually, too much combing may harm your hair greatly. Thus, try to avoid it as much as possible.
5. Some hair styles can be protective
If you have grown your hair to a certain degree, it is natural for you to feel happy about letting it loose in the wind. However, you should know that it is necessary to worry about the hair ends at all times. Do not let your hair ends rub against surfaces such as car seats or even bed sheets. You can put it up during the day or wrap it into a delicate material while you are asleep. This will enable you to grow natural hair to a point where it's very long and stays healthy.
Bottom line, the key to having long and healthy hair is taking proper care of it. If you nourish it properly, both from the inside and the outside, you are guaranteed to have good quality hair. One of the products you can use is Mira hair oil, which provides good scalp nourishment and is a good treatment for your hair. All these tips will make growing your hair an enjoyable task.

Despite this simple thesis, Forks over Knives can't help but get bogged down with too many talking heads, statistics and case studies. There's a reason there's a book called How to Lie with Statistics, but many documentarians insist on setting the stage with frightening statistics that we're expected to accept at face value. A quibble, but Forks over Knives also slants its opening "scare stat" fest by mixing facts with personal assertions. "One in three Americans will develop diabetes…and millions more of us are so stimulated by sugar, coffee and energy drinks that we've masked our chronic fatigue." In a later scene, we see writer-director Lee Fulkerson chugging Red Bulls to remedy his low energy. Must every personal story be a sign of a national epidemic?
The movie's main advocates for plant-based diets are Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, a clinician who works with heart-disease patients, and, Dr. Colin Campbell, a researcher who has studied the effects of diet on disease, most significantly in a population study of China. Fulkerson supports their work with a dizzying amount of chime-ins from other health professionals. Then there are the "diet makeover" stories. We hear testimonials from Dr. Esselstyn's patients, his son, and a former breast cancer patient/Ironman competitor. We also follow Fulkerson and two type II diabetes patients as they adopt a plant-based diet. It's too much, and it undercuts their journeys to hear accounts of progress limited to superficial discussions about weight loss and increased energy. Super Size Me did the "diet makeover" story much better, in part by focusing on just one man's account. Besides trying to cover too much, the editing adds to the confusion. Mid-thought, the documentary will ungracefully shift to another story, then back again.
Though Forks over Knives lacks finesse, it's never condescending to or judgmental of its audience, many of whom presumably eat animals and dairy with gusto. Anyone who's looking to kick-start a healthy eating plan should look no further, as the movie will provide ample motivation to eat more fruits, vegetables and whole grains. The strictness of the movie's diet recommendations should spark intense conversation after the show, as will some of the documentary's more controversial arguments. There's an interesting thought piece here if you look past the movie's stumbles—the sound recording in some spots is just plain terrible. Forks over Knives will feed the minds of those who are thinking intensely about what actually nourishes the body

This magnificent loft apartment is set on the 3rd floor in a 15th century Medici Palazzo. The loft apartment is 90sqm (about 1000sqft) with amazingly high ceiling of 5meters (about16ft) high. The ceiling is the original 15th century Florentine wood work (a cassettoni) that has all been finely and painstakingly preserved.
The apartment consists of an entrance hallway which leads you into the loft apartment with 2 huge cathedral windows that let a lot of light in. The flooring is the old Florentine terracotta, there is a small kitchenette with all the amenities necessary in a modern day kitchen. The bathroom has a shower and has all been finished with precious marble. The living area has been decorated with very unique antique Florentine furniture and some of the pieces are masterpieces of the old Florentine craftsmanship. One great example is the dining table that is made of marble inserts, a technique known as 'Scagliola'.
Seeing is believing how welcoming and beautiful this apartment is. The apartment is on the 3rd floor with no lift, so there are 70 steps, but it is all well worth the journey to this 'Medici jewel'. The location is exceptional, for you are stones throw to all the Florentine museums and important sites, shops, and bars and restaurants. The building itself is so centrally placed for it was said to have been built by one of the Medici for his French mistress.

Review: 'Bigfoot: The Lost Coast Tapes' Gives Bigfoot Movies a Bad Name
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on October 19, 2012 | Comments (1)Horror fans often get the short end of the stick when it comes to quality because the genre seems to have a higher percentage of utter dreck than just about any type of movie. Part of the problem is that the genre has a high profit-to-cost ratio, but more recently the issue is that we as fans are a very forgiving bunch. How else to explain the inundation of horror movies that open with some variation of this: "The following footage was an attempt to document that discovery…" That's right. Found footage films have lowered the bar of quality across the genre. They're not all bad of course, but for every Rec or Troll Hunter we get ten Apollo 18s or Greystone Parks. So what's the one ingredient that you think would guarantee a found footage success? Bigfoot, obviously. A group of filmmakers hoping to launch a reality show head into the Northern California woods for evidence that Bigfoot truly does exist. They hire an old hunter to be their guide and to show them evidence in the form of a fresh carcass. Unsurprisingly, things do not go as planned.
Marlon Wayans to Spoof Found Footage with 'Smart Ass'
Movie News By Scott Beggs on February 14, 2012 | Be the First To CommentAccording to Variety, Marlon Wayans will be co-directing and starring in Smart Ass – a piss take on the found footage genre. His last attempt in a long line of spoofs was the aggressively average Dance Flick. Now, he's turning his attention to a fad that's already tired and taking aim at Paranormal Activity and its cousins. Maybe returning to horror will be the key to success for the In Living Color comedian who once nailed down the 90s scares in Scary Movie. Essence Atkins – who was in Dance Flick and How High – will co-star. There's no doubt that its a genre rife for parody, especially when it seems to parodying itself. Still, spoof movies have been tarnished completely by the Movie Movies, and it's not like the Wayanses have kept their shine when it comes to the art. Hopefully there will be more to it than pop culture references that will instantly be dated and tired jokes that come too easily. Still, as any movie fan knows, there's plenty to make fun of found footage for.

Hi all, (sorry for the cross post, posted in the wrong forum the first time).
Another insulation question, I couldn't quite find what I was looking for in previous threads. I have a 1920's shake-shingle cottage. Most of the house is shake over planked walls (lath and plaster interior). However, there is an uninsulated 12'x12' addition that was built around a stairwell of sorts leading from the kitchen to the basement. Lot's of wasted space, so I'm going to reconfigure it and make it more useful. I also lose heat from the kitchen to it. The walls of the addition consist only of shake nailed to horizontal strips about 12" apart (no exterior sheathing), I can see the shake from the inside. The interior is finished with a cardboard like material. I plan to sheet rock the interior, but I'm clueless how to insulate these walls. Should I put some kind of barrier between the studs, before I insulate? Otherwise any water that get's between the shingles will wet the insulation. Suggestions on type of insulation (I live in New Jersey)? Advice appreciated. Thanks! p.s. Would the same apply to exterior walls WITH planking?) |
Follow-Up Postings:
You can't properly insulate it the way it is. Cellulose or fibereglass will absorb water, spray foam might work, but you couldn't repair the shingles without destroying the insulation. It's a small area. For the simplest approach, strip off the shingles and furring, put on new sheathing, housewrap or lapped #30 felt and furring and reshingle. Inside, get rid of the cardboard, use fiberglass batts or cellulose and drywall. |

I like the idea of spray foam, but to prevent real moisture problems, add 1/2" rigid foam board cut into strips between the studs and situated tight to the nailing strips. The insulation co can then spray their product right over the rigid foam. This way some air space is retained under the shingles so they can dry out after downpours, and repairs are enabled for the future; the siding can be taken off without any disturbance to the expensive sprayed foam. Casey |
Unfortunately, this approach creates a rainscreen wall that is extremely vulnerable to water penetration rather than water shedding and diversion. Which is contrary to the reason for having a rainscreen wall in the first place. |

Huh? It's no more susceptible to water penetration that way than it is now. There's still an air gap under the shingles, only now it only vents back outside. They are wood shingles, like a roof, they shed water. The rainscreen idea is applied to deal with horrible siding choices like vinyl and hardi which let in water at the seams (and lest I fail to mention, windows with nail fins as attachments instead of wood trim) instead of excluding water like more traditional types; wood clapboards, shakes, shingles. The rainscreen concept didn't exist in residential 30 years ago because it was unnecessary with traditional techniques and materials. Casey |

Well, I agree, the the most thorough method would be to remove the shake, sheath, then reshingle. Unfortunately that's not an option due to the additional expense. The existing shingles wouldn't survive, so no hope of reuse there. The shingles do shed water, but are 80+ years old, so water getting between into any cracked shingles is why I fear for insulation there. Formulating Plan B. Thanks both you've given me some ideas to work with. |

Lexus GX 470 Maintenance and Repair
stever Viva Las CrucesPosts: 42,447There was a database glitch for a few SUV discussions that's being worked on. When it's fixed, the plan is to meld the posting together. We started this discussion so you wouldn't be completely in the lurch in the meantime.

boat2 Posts: 4There were a lot of messages relating to your problem on this site. But I can not find it. There were several years worth of info there. I would speculate that someone from Lexus probably had enough and purged it all. The site manager has even changed. Most people were pretty out spoken about the GX470 and you could make a case that it was very damaging to Lexus. The manufacture refused to accept any responability. I can speak from experance and no longer own a 2005 GX-470.

nizhny Posts: 2I have an '04 GX with 23,000 miles and have experienced the pulsating noise as well. We moved to Phoenix from Seattle -- here we tend to do much more highway/freeway driving. The roads (I-5, I-405) in Seattle are in poor shape so there is a lot of external road noise. However, in Phoenix, many of the freeways are rubberized and therefore much quieter. Thus, at almost the first time I took our GX470 on the freeway here, I noticed a significant vibration/pulsation that starts about 1700 r.p.m. or 62 MPH when slightly hitting the accelerator and goes away at about 78 MPH. Lexus at first said it was the tires and replaced mine, but no change. Also, when I depress the accelerator, the whine/pulsation goes away. I have had into the dealership (Scottsdale Lexus) twice since for more than a week each time and it is still unresolved. They have been very professional and thorough, but at this point, they are going to give it one more shot. I believe the next step is for them to buy it back. I think the vehicle is basically good, but this is unacceptable if they can't fix it. The common thread among all of these boards is that Lexus has a problem, but in order to mitigate liability, they refer to the vibration as "characteristic of the GX." I would love to hear from anyone who has been in service for this issue!
boat2 Posts: 4This is exactly what was on the site with many, many entry's Vibration 63-68mph. This is the GX-470 nitemare. The amazing thing is some vehicles do not have the problem. It could also be that owners do not realize they have the problem due to the speed they drive and road conditions. I really don't know. What I do know is my 05 GX-470 is gone and I let it go with only 3300 miles.Lexus dealership balanced tires, switched tires to different locations, then completly installed new tires and rims.Two times on alignment rack. Last, installed a steering dampner kit,no help, which im told is now on every new GX.I was told a factory rep drove my GX and never experienced any vibration at any speed. I knew I was dog meat after that meeting. In all the conversations with Lexus you must understand this..1, there is no problem with the GX. 2, they are unable to fix this vibration, period. If you got it your stuck with it. The 2ad issue is the clunk in the rear after you come to a stop. I've heard this might have been located in the spline joint on the drive shaft.It was so tight of a tolerance that would not slid. This is a rumor which was posted by some people. I never experienced this problem on my GX. I wish I had found this site prior to purchase as I would have never got involved with GX-470.
hopeitsfriday Posts: 396So you dont have the cluck but you have the highway vibration. I would say about 50% of the owners have the cluck, some worst than others. I have it and it is so minor that I can hardly feel it.
The highway vibration problem is actually very common in the 4runners but not at all that common in the GX. I would say less than 1% of the owners have it. Some 4runner owners have gotten rid of the problem by getting their front wheels aligned with a special alignment machine that simulates force as if you were driving on the highway. -
bungo Posts: 6Just upgraded from 2002 RX to GX w/nav - still trying to get used to the added height...
Dunno if this was covered in "missing" posts or another forum (just point me there), but has anyone been able to hard-wire install Sirius/XM modulator (not the wireless tacked-on-dash version) recently? Make/model/company ? Would prefer to see/operate channels thru usual Audio settings. -
bobs05coupe Posts: 43You can use either the ES330 or the LX470 kits from Lexus. Of course the dealer will say it will not work, buy it will just fine. I plan to get the LX kit soon because it comes with the roof mount type antenna. The ES kit comes with an inside mount on the windshield which goes next to the auto wiper sensor. Its a big ugly triangle shaped antenna which also doesn't work as well as the roof top mounted antenna.
cassiri Posts: 40Does anyone know how to access the screen to change the mic settings? I know in the GS models there is a sequence of things including turning headlights on and off to get the setup screen up. Is there something like this on the GX? Our mic is not sensitive enough and is very tinny.

ps13 Posts: 2We have 05 GX 470 and we found that it is hard to keep the vehicle going Straight on a straight road. This is our first 4WD. The dealer took a look at it and found a minor balancing issue, but we are still seeing this problem. The foreman told me that it is because it is 4WD. Is this true? Has anyone experienced this problem.
nedzel Posts: 787I don't think it is because of the 4WD, but rather it is due to the design of the truck. I've got a 2003 4Runner, which is made with the same frame, powertrain, and very similar suspension to the GX470. It has poor on-center feel as well.
The good news is that I believe there are 4WD trucks that have better on-center feel. The bad news is that I don't think this can be fixed on the GX470 and 4Runner.
Balancing the tires isn't going to do a thing for on-center feel. -
nedzel Posts: 787I googled Toyota 4Runner and on-center feel and found a number of articles that describe this. Here's one about the 4Runner: "However, vagueness in road-feel and on-center tracking required greater driver attentiveness than in other midsize SUVs that I have jockeyed through a variety of contorted backroads." Here's another about the GX470: "On-center feel and feedback, meanwhile, are similar to a typical family sedan's: pleasant, but not sharp." One about the current Tacoma: "the steering was vague on center"
nizhny Posts: 2Well, you are right in that I was also "dog meat" after the meeting with the Lexus regional technical rep. Actually, they acknowledged that there indeed was a vibration at 63-68/1700-2000 r.p.m. but that this was a "characteristic" of the vehicle -- I read this on other boards, so they must coach their people with regard to this standard response. So, I am going to trade for another Lexus -- certainly not a GX and, like you, I wish I had never gotten involved with it. By the way, I also had the clunk for a while and it seems to have gone away on it's own, but not true for the vibration.

mnshea Posts: 10I would appreciate any comments on what kind of gas mileage you are getting in the GX with premium or regular gas. The salesman told me you can use regular instead of premium gas but the mileage would not be as good. He claims the 15 mpg city driving on the sticker is very realistic using premium. What's happening in the real world?
lopz Posts: 22After 52,000 miles, ave. with LOTS of highway 16.4mpg. City 14.0mpg, highway 18.5mpg. Also for those with vibration problems like me (it was VERY bad and nothing would fix it)), I just had new balancing done with a new more advanced machine where they balance wheels at different speeds while the wheels remain on the car (Ihad it done at Lexus of Kendall, Miami). Even though I still have the dunlops on (I hear Michelins better), the vibration is almost (not quite) gone, to a point that it is not a real problem anymore.
Does anyone know if telescoping steering wheel can be made to come out further--I cannot seem to find a comfortable driving position otherwise and I drive 40,000 miles a year. Thanks for any useful info on this one way or another. -
cdfwife Posts: 37After 1200 miles, I am at a steady average of 15.9. I always use regular gas, as I did with my MDX. Call me a sceptic, but I would really doubt if using premium gas increased mileage. (Performance, yes, mileage-no.) I would say that my travels are split evenly between highway and city. I drive 42 miles round trip each day. Hoping for better mileage but not holding my breath. Has anyone else been able to increase mileage with premium gas?
shepali Posts: 72Does anyone have issues with the cruise control on a 2006 GX470 gear hunting at highway speeds? It consistently downshift and then upshifts at just the slightest uphill incline - much more pronounced than any other vehicle I've driven. Its definitely something I can live with - but wondered if there was some adjustment that could be done?
The one thing I've found that does help is to drive in 4th vs. overdrive - but that dropped the average MPG by more than 2 miles...which isn't really worth it to me.
I'm thinking its because the engine is more sensitive/responsive than other SUVs, and so it is actually a positive benefit in disguise. But just curious if anyone else experiences this and if there is any other option to minimize it... -
shepali Posts: 72Regarding the garage door opener...if you have a 'rolling code' garage door, there is a sequence you have to go through to 'teach' the car. I don't have my manual in front of me...but if I recall, you have to prep the car to receive the codes (i think that is holding down the button you want to program until it blinks fast), then go to your garage door opener assembly hanging from the ceiling and press the button, then go back to the car and press the button in the car you want to program. You may have to do this twice...but it should work. I do refer you to the manual to be sure I described it right though..
mybenz Posts: 2I have an 04' GX470 and used reg. gas for the 1st 10K miles. Then I changed over to 93 octane. I really don't notice too much difference in gas mileage but feel the car rides smoother and responds better with the higher octane. However, with the price of gas being so high I wonder if I went back to reg. gas would I harm the engine. Does any one have any suggestions?

RE: What adhesive for stainless steel to CDX plywood countertop? (Follow-Up #1)
posted by: mike_kaiser on 12.07.2012 at 11:31 pm in Woodworking Forum Your plywood to stainless steel? PL Premium. I might spread it out with some kind of disposable notched trowel. Clamp or weight the sink to the wood. Leave it for a good 24 hours to set up. Wear disposable gloves and work on a protected surface. The stuff doesn't not come off easily once cured and only with mineral spirits before that.
NOTES: bonding countertop to stainless steel.
