I'm somewhat overwhelmed with exterior paint colors and my husband and I cannot seem to agree on colors at all...he likes dark colors, and I like lighter, tan colors. My current favorite is the Pismo Dunes from Benjamin Moore. Here is our house. It is a craftsman inspired home. We have decided on Nichiha shakes, siding and board and batten. Love their products, but no options on paint colors. Our stone color is a WV Fieldstone--sorry this was taken from another house in our area, so the picture is not the best quality: Our inspiration: Our front door: Give me your inspiration! :) |

Hi, I'm new but have a house similar to your 'inspiration'. Hopefully my pic uploads. Our board and batten siding is GEntek vinyl siding colour storm. Check out their website- you may be able to match a paint colour to it. I also have the same door and we painted it black bean soup by benjamin moore :) Good luck! |
Hi mum, Just wondering if your inspiration "door" was something you found on Houzz or if you live close to the house it can be seen on (and consequently close to me)? The builder of the house with that particular door (Patterson Homes) was one of two main contenders for our upcoming build. We went with the other builder but have nothing but good to say about them. Anyway, here's a link to the builder's website and that particular build. |

Our stone looks similar to yours and we pulled the taupe and the almond out of the stone for our house colors. |
MGDawg, that's so funny! Actually, I found it on Houzz. And since my house is Craftsman inspired I found a real wood door that is very similar to that. But, that door served as my inspiration. Thanks for sharing! Annie, I have been looking at your house colors because I like them very much! I love all the colors you chose. What is your roof color/brand? |
- Posted by AnnieDeighnaugh (My Page) on Tue, Jan 29, 13 at 16:32
We used GAF Camelot in Aged Oak |
Thanks, Annie. (PS) i love your metal roof over the porch. It's lovely! You did a great job with your color selection. |
- Posted by AnnieDeighnaugh (My Page) on Tue, Jan 29, 13 at 22:08
Thx. You will note in your inspiration pic that they have 1 less material in siding than you do...I think you might want to consider that...keep the stone and lose either the bd and bat or the shingle...too many materials is less attractive. |
- Posted by building_a_house (My Page) on Tue, Jan 29, 13 at 22:14
That's not true. The inspiration house has 3 materials if you look at all the pics. Stone, shake and board and batten. Do what looks best to you. |
Thanks, Annie. (PS) i love your metal roof over the porch. It's lovely! You did a great job with your color selection. |
Beauty is in the "eye of the beholder" about what is attractive and what is not. The advice here is a mix of personal opinions, so do your exterior the way you envisioned it. I like Pismo dunes, but I think your inspiration home may be a bit darker. I don't have my Ben Moore paint deck in front of me, but I'm thinking something like Fairview Taupe is similar to your inspiration photo. |

I don't see shakes in the inspiration photo...only b&b...and if those lovely peaks were interrupted with a section of shakes, IMO, it would not look as nice. We are talking about the house with the green siding, not the other one.... |

This is our inspiration house and there are Board and Batten, shakes and stone. We plan on using all three on our new home. I think this house "Willow Hill" on Houzz is amazing and we love that they used all three materials on their home as it gives it a unique and beautiful look. It has served as our inspiration for over a year and I'm not budging. But, thanks for your opinion. Downsy, thank you for that--I'll go do some research. I've reached out to the architect and he said he would dig the color up for me. Fingers crossed. |
The shakes are on the first floor as you can see better in this picture: |

This house is our inspiration as well. Our builder knows this builder and was getting the exact color for us. When I have it, I'll post. |

Has anyone seen the floor plan for the inspiration house? |
This post was edited by shouldibuild on Wed, Jan 30, 13 at 12:23
Katrina, THANK YOU! I will look for your post or you can email me directly. I have also reached out to the architect who said he would dig it up for me. ShouldIbuild, the architect will not share floorplans for the house, unless you pay. |
mum2gandb...can you please tell me the company that supplies that stone you chose? my husband really loves it. is it natural or manmade? |
oh..btw...the inspiration house is hardie board. |
Carp123, we are getting it from a local stone yard; it's West Virginia fieldstone. I don't live in WV, incidentally... Yes, I know it's Hardie, but we are going with Nichiha. |
thank you! we are in canada and will probably buy from the states...selection here stinks! |
Hey Carp... do you happen to live in Carp? |
- Posted by katrina161 (My Page) on Thu, Jan 31, 13 at 13:50
I'm still waiting to hear from our builder on the specific color...he only had the comparable pantone color. It is a gray with slight green undertones. I did happen to see on Houzz that the color is a Benjamin Moore color and a Benjamin Moore rep commented that it looked like BM Amherst Gray. If you're looking for the stone on the house, our builder talked to Sven at Stonewood and it is comparable to Buechel Stone's Antique Copper. |
Yes, Annie mentioned that in the Paint forum. Funny how similar my WV Fieldstone is to that stone. Thanks for your help! |
- Posted by shouldibuild (My Page) on Sat, Mar 2, 13 at 21:38
Has anyone identified the exterior color of the house from Houzz above? |
Nothing from the architect, but the other suggestions seem to look the same. Sorry! |

I just saw the movie, and here's the weird thing: One of those screengrabs is wrong. I don't know if they changed the fonts for the US version or what, but in the print I just saw, Port Au Prince didn't have that bad '80s reggae album-cover font — it's rendered in large block capitals in an scratched-up, old-fashioned ornate font. (I can't name the font — I'm no graphic designer — but if I had to sum it up in three words, it would be "Faded Circus Poster".)
Yes, Nicholas D'Agosto was fine on "The Office" but that's only because he only seldom spoke more than three words consecutively. To understand why he shouldn't be starring in anything, ever, try and find a clip of his recurring role on "Heroes". To be fair, it was "Heroes", which means that he was given wooden dialogue and an unplayable character (a badass kid who can fly whose name was — wait for it — "West Rosen".) But he still seemed especially wooden and unconvincing. Put it this way: His line readings were so awful, he made Hayden Panettiere look good.
I dunno — much though I'd like to believe it, this sounds like a British-tabloid invention. I'm guessing that BA showed the pan-and-scan version of the movie, which (in all likelihood) crops out Branson simply because he's at the far-right side of the frame, as far from the action as possible. And the article seems carefully written so that it never quite says that BA confirms they deliberately took Branson out of the movie — it just cites a representative saying that "changes had been made" and then quotes him talking about the usual airline content-editing guidelines. (Although I'm not sure how they edited around the whole "Daniel Craig gets stripped naked and then hit in the balls repeatedly" scene.)
I have no proof for any of this.
Hysterical, although I was sure that you were going to edit in Elisabeth Rohm, from her final scene on "Law & Order", asking, "Is it because I'm a lesbian?"
"The Third Miracle" — an actual theatrical release from 1999. Ed Harris is sent by the Vatican to find out whether Anne Heche's dead mom is worthy of sainthood. Unremittingly awful, with one wrong decision after another. (To choose but one example: In the climactic scene — SPOILER ALERT! — Anne Heche watches a home video of her mom, taken in 1970. To repeat: She watches a HOME VIDEO of her mom, taken in 1970. You know. With one of those 8-track camcorders that were widely available in 1970.)
Also: "A Time to Kill". Also: "Contact". Also: Anything else made during that mid-90′s period when people thought Matthew McConaughey could act.

WOW! Economics 2015 | Quantitative Methods (New Spec)
Positive indicators for the UK economy I - May the Force be with us
Apparently this is how George Osborne ended his tweet last night, announcing that the next Star Wars film is to be made in the UK - how nice to have some good news for a change! It looks like a great example of supply-side fiscal policy being effective. As long as at least 25% of the total production expenditure takes place in the UK, the film will benefit from tax relief, up to a maximum of 80% of the total budget for production costs in the UK. This seems to be acting as a powerful incentive: hundreds of films have been made here in the last few years and benefited not only from the tax relief but also from the comparative advantage which the UK is establishing in the creative industries with major film studios such as Pinewood, Leavesden and Ealing. How much is this worth to the UK economy?
The British Film Institute (BFI) and Pinewood Shepperton commissioned a report from Oxford Economics called 'The Economic Impact of the UK Film Industry in 2011', which was completed last September. They concluded that UK film contributes over £4.6 billion to UK GDP and more than £1.3 billion to the Exchequer. Much of this comes as inward investment; in 2011 this reached record levels contributing £3.7 billion to UK GDP and £1 billion to tax revenues. The report states that the UK is a gateway to Europe for international filmmakers. The major studios clearly see this too and add their own investment. For example Pinewood has invested £63 million since 2007, and is proposing a major development scheme to extend studio capacity, while the Warner Bros. studios at Leavesden have received £100 million investment.
Further injections to AD come from exports, with UK film industry exports in 2010 standing at £2.1 billion. The report adds that "...Exporters of other goods and services also benefit from the part film plays in establishing and reinforcing Britain's image and brand. This is helped by around a quarter of the top worldwide films being premiered or co-premiered in the UK, which generates substantial media exposure." And then there is also tourism. The report suggests that films depicting the UK are responsible for generating around a tenth of overseas tourism revenues, estimating that around £2.1 billion of visitor spend a year is attributable to UK film. This ranges from visitors to sites where scenes have been shot, to the fabulous Warner Bros. Making of Harry Potter Studio Tour.
As you would expect, these injections to AD from investment and exports result in a derived demand for labour, and more jobs. To quote directly from the BFI summary, "...The number of jobs has risen with the UK film industry, directly employing almost 44,000 people (up from 36,000 in 2009) and supporting 117,000 direct and indirect jobs overall (up from 100,000 in 2009). The UK film industry employs more people than both the fund management and pharmaceutical manufacturing sectors with 70% of the workforce graduates and, at £32,500, earning a significantly higher than average salary." So we must conclude that there is likely to be a positive multiplier effect from the investment, which also benefits in the short run from higher box office takings in cinemas and merchandising sales and also in the long run from the potential for significant dynamic efficiency from the development of new technologies in the film industry such as video-on-demand, and from the extraordinary innovations in special effects.
So while the tax relief offered by the Treasury clearly has a cost - around £114 million a year -
it generates far more for the economy, estimated at about £12 in GDP for every £1 invested. Without
it, the report claims that national GDP would be reduced by approximately £1.4 billion a year
and Exchequer revenues by £430 million a year. Therefore evidence would suggest that supply-side fiscal policies which are designed to exploit comparative advantage can be effective in encouraging investment in both production and innovation, and that these can be seen to bring an increase in GDP which will drive up the demand for labour thus increasing employment, while also increasing the economy's potential output - which might be called the Holy Grail of economics.

Another death from Waggin' Train Treats!
I seriously want to know how many deaths & what it is seriously going to take to get these deadly treats off the shelves!?
I was at Walmart in Elk Grove Village, IL last weekend & there they are highlighted in a center isle display! REALLY!? The sight actually made me sick!
This is all over Facebook & Twitter how bad these treats are the illness & deaths they have caused. I've seen petitions which I also posted on my website & signed.
Then today on Twitter I see a posting from "Cold Noses Chronicle"
The Chicago Tribune is reporting that Dennis Adkins, a resident of Chicago suburb Orland Park, is suing Nestle-Purina and Walmart after his nine-year-old Pomeranian died of kidney failure after consuming Waggin' Train Yam Good dog treats. From March 13-15, Adkins fed his dog the treats with no dietary change. Cleopatra, the Pomeranian, died on March 26th of kidney failure after becoming ill. Adkins' other dog, Pharaoh, was not fed the treats and was not ill.
Back in November, the FDA put out a warning about potentially deadly pet treats.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is again cautioning consumers that chicken jerky products for dogs (also sold as chicken tenders, strips or treats) may be associated with illness in dogs. In the last 12 months, FDA has seen an increase in the number of complaints it received of dog illnesses associated with consumption of chicken jerky products imported from China. These complaints have been reported to FDA by dog owners and veterinarians.
Pets are still dying from these treats. And, since the FDA testing has been inconclusive, the pet food companies that sell them aren't recalling them. Again, that's even though many pets are dying.
Many consumers frequently read ingredient labels on pet food in an attempt to find quality products for their furry family members, but pet parents would be wise to also ensure that their pet's food is "made in the USA". Whether you have cats, dogs or other pets, this warning is a reminder to read the labels on pet food products before purchasing them. While U.S. manufactured pet food products aren't without their problems and periodic recalls, China is renowned for manufacturing products containing chemicals that pose health risks to people and pets.
The FDA is advising consumers who choose to feed their dogs chicken jerky products to watch them closely for any or all of the following signs that may occur within hours to days of feeding the products:
- Decreased appetite
- Decreased activity
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea, sometimes with blood
- Increased water consumption
- Increased urination
If your dog shows any of these signs, consult your veterinarian if the signs are severe or persist for more than 24 hours. Blood tests may indicate kidney failure and urine tests may indicate Fanconi syndrome (increased glucose).
I welcome anybodies comments or suggestions on this subject. I am also going to contact Steve Dale regarding this subject to get his take on it.

Red Dwarf USA
NBC ordered a pilot based on British sitcom Red Dwarf in 1992, the latest attempt by an American network to translate a British series for American audiences. The pilot didn't sell but NBC asked for a reworked, partially recast presentation, hoping to salvage the project. It didn't work and the series never materialized.
Television networks in the United States have a long history of purchasing the rights to British series and reworking them for American viewers. Sometimes that involved making drastic changes. Two of the most popular sitcoms of the early 1970s were based on British sitcoms (or Britcoms): All in the Family was based on Till Death Us Do Part (BBC One, 1965-1968; 1970; 1972-1975) and Sanford and Son was based on Steptoe and Son (BBC One, 1962-1965; 1970-1974). NBC's Lotsa Luck was based on Britcom On the Buses (ITV, 1969-1973) but was far less successful.
Three's Company was also based on a Britcom, Man About the House (ITV, 1973-1976). In fact, even the two spin-offs of Three's Company were based on British spin-offs of Man About the House: The Ropers was based on George and Mildred (ITV, 1976-1979) and Three's a Crowd was based on Robin's Nest (ITV, 1977-1981).
In February 1983, ABC debuted Amanda's (based on Fawlty Towers, BBC2, 1975; 1979) starring Bea Arthur in her return to series television. The sitcom lasted just four months. Another ABC sitcom, Reggie (based on The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin, BBC One, 1976-1979) fared even worse, lasting just over one month.
NBC had better luck with Dear John (based on Dear John, BBC One, 1986-1987) starring Judd Hirsch, which premiered in October 1988. It would stay on the air for four seasons, ending in July 1992. NBC's attempt to turn Red Dwarf, a sci-fi Britcom that premiered on BBC Two in February 1988, resulted in both a full-length pilot and a reworked presentation but ultimately failed.
Created by Rob Grant and Doug Naylor, Red Dwarf followed the misadventures of the crew of the mining ship Red Dwarf. In the series premiere (originally broadcast February 15th, 1988 on BBC One) an accident kills all but one member of the crew and in order to save him, the ship's computer puts him in stasis. For three million years. When he awakes, Dave Lister (played by Craig Charles) is the only human left in the universe.
In addition to Lister and the computer (an artificial intelligence named Holly, played by Norman Lovett), there was a hologram named Arnold Rimmer (played by Chris Barrie), and a creature evolved from a house cat named Cat (played by Danny John-Jules). Joining the cast in its third season were Robert Llewellyn as Kryten, a robot, and Hattie Hayridge as Holly, replacing Lovett.
In 1992, NBC decided to turn Red Dwarf into an American series and ordered a pilot from Universal Studios [1]. The creators of Red Dwarf crossed the pond, as did one of the series stars, and the pilot went into production at Universal Studios [2].
The NBC pilot was a retooled version of the first episode of the British series, with one key difference. The character of Kryten, not introduced until the third season of the British version, would be present in the American version from the start.
Craig Bierko was cast as Lister, Chris Eigeman as Rimmer, Jane Leeves as Holly and Hinton Battle as Cat. Robert Llewellyn returned to his role of Kryten. Translating the series for an American audience meant revising jokes so they would be understood in the U.S. and cutting the pilot script to fit a half-hour commercial time slot on an American network.
With the opening credits included, the American pilot clocks in at twenty-five and a half minutes, still shorter than the average Britcom. Roughly half of the pilot takes place before Lister is placed in suspended animation, introducing Lister and his relationships with other crewmembers on the ship.
NBC wasn't thrilled with the pilot but also wasn't ready to give up on the concept. Rather than shoot another pilot, the producers were asked to put together a short promotional reel that would attempt to sell Red Dwarf as a workable series. The most significant change? Cat was now female [3].
Chris Eigeman and Hinton Battle were replaced by Anthony Fuscle and Terry Farrell, playing Rimmer and Cat, respectively. Farrell's cat was sexy and feisty and completely confused by humans. This second "pilot" runs close to fifteen minutes and includes footage from the British series, the first American pilot, and a few new scenes.
The promotional reel was unsuccessful in prompting sufficient interest in the series and NBC never picked up the series.
Although it failed in the United States, Red Dwarf continued in its home country. After its sixth season the series went on hiatus, returning in 1997 and again in 1999. A decade later, it was revived for a short ninth season (technically a three-part miniseries called Red Dwarf: Back to Earth) in 2009 and a tenth season in 2012.
American networks continued trying to launch sitcoms based on Britcoms. In September 1996, CBS premiered Cosby (based on One Foot in the Grave, BBC One, 1990-2000) starring Billy Cosby. It lasted four seasons. NBC's Men Behaving Badly (based on Men Behaving Badly, ITV, 1992-1998), also premiered in September 1996 and was successful enough to warrant renewal for the 1997-1998 season only to be cancelled six episodes into its sophomore season. CBS tried its hand at translating Fawlty Towers in the U.S. with Payne, starring John Larroquette. It premiered in March 1999 and was cancelled after eight episodes.
In September 2003, NBC premiered a U.S. version of Coupling (BBC2, 2000-2004) to much hype. It was a collosal failure and was off the air after just four episodes. NBC finally found success in translating a Britcom with The Office, which premiered as a mid-season replacement in March 2005 and lasted for 200 episodes, ending in May 2013. But lightning didn't strike twice for NBC: it premiered Free Agents (based on Free Agents, Channel 4, 2009) in September 2011 and cancelled it in October 2011 after airing four episodes.

NBC still didn't "get it right" when they tried adapting an "adult" BBC sitcom entitled "COUPLING" in 2003- unilke "RED DWARF", that DID become a weekly series, but it ended just a few weeks after it began. Some critics said, naturally, it just wasn't the same as the original British version {"it's WORSE!"}. This was during the period that Jeff Zucker, the man who ran "THE TODAY SHOW" in the '90s, also programmed NBC for several years, and was a somewhere between a novice and a dolt at scheduling TV shows. The network is still trying to pull itself out of the hole Zucker opened up for them- of course, NOW he's chairman of NBC/Universal (he's a better executive than "hands-on" programmer)…but it still doesn't change the fact that he virtually single-handedly destroyed NBC's momentum to generate "hit shows" for years….
I watched the first two episodes (I think) of NBC's attempt at Coupling. I remember there being one really hilarious joke involving a sock. Laugh out loud hilarious, even. But that was it.
Last season, NBC tried adapting an AUSTRALIAN sitcom, "KATH & KIM", starring Molly Shannon and Selma Blair, brought to the network by Ben Silverman, whose Reveille Productions, which produced "KATH & KIM", also produces the network's ONE "successful" adaptation of a British sitcom- "THE OFFICE" (Silverman, incidentally, left NBC before the start of the 2009-'10 season). It lasted 17 episodes [had been pencilled in for 22, but the network changed its mind last January; I could tell it wasn't going to be long before it was dumped by the way they merely "mentioned" only the show's title in their Thursday night promos, without plugging WHAT the episodes were about].
Um, by "it lasted 17 episodes" I doubt you mean The Office US. The original was 14 episodes, short and sweet, the US version has 100+ episodes, 6 the first season, 22 the second and third, 14 or something the 4th (due to the writer's strike), and not sure about the 5th and 6th.
I was referring to the American version of "KATH & KIM", Robert. THAT lasted 17 episodes….
I may well be the only person who actually enjoyed the American version of Kath & Kim. Or at least the only person willing to admit to it.
the US sitcom "Three's Company" is a version of British sitcom "Man About The House". I'm British & "Three's Company" has been shown late night over here in the early 90s & I found it funnier than "Man About The House".
I never found "Red Dwarf" very funny. Having said that, I detest most modern US sitcoms. British comedy is largely about failure…pathos, US comedy tends to favour farce ( hence the popularity of "Are You Being Served?" ) & gags, rather than situation & character.
the primary two episodes (I consider) of NBC's endeavor at Coupling. I recollect there existence one rattling humorous jocularity involving a bonk. Laugh out thundery humourous, straight. But that was it.Red Dwarf worked in the UK so well largely because it was so well cast. Characters like Rimmer and Holly were only as funny as they were because of the way they were played. Also the UK cast had a rapport with each other that was an important part of the series success – difficult to re-create that.
Also Red Dwarf took a while to get into its stride in the UK. The first series had its ups and downs but was never that brilliant. The funniest episode was the last one in the first series – Me. It only really got into its stride in the second series, which was a lot funnier. I'd say series 2 to 6 were its heyday, after that it seemed to run out of ideas & started repeating itself.
I realize this is an old post, but you should check out the 1979 US sitcom "Quark".

My appologies for this topic (and the length), as it seems to be commonly asked, but I cannot find information that fits my exact situation.... I have newer double pane window inserts that have bad interior condensation and ice just at the bottom edges (running the length on both the top and bottom sections). The center temp on the window is 10-15 degrees warmer than the edges where I get condensation. I have put insulation kits on them and this prevents the condensation, so this seems more like a window issue than indoor humidity? In the basement, however I have several glass block garden windows some of which also get bad condensation...(the one on the north side of the house does not where it is unfinished walls). I have a dehumidifier in one of the rooms set at 35% (as low as it will go), and it helps, but does not remove it completely. Again, I think my problem is window temp versus too high of humidity? We keep our home at 70 degrees and the 'cold' part of all windows where there is condensation is 40-45 degrees (10-15 cooler than the center). So, my main questions are:
Any and all thoughts are very, very much appreciated!!! Thanks in advance! |

This seems to me to be a possible installation issue or a poor quality window. One way or another the issue is very likely high air infiltration. What brand and model window are these? |
I am not sure the brand and model since they were installed prior to us purchasing the home - is there any way to tell? The only marking on them is on the locks which is marked with 'TRACO'. Would the same hold true for the glass block garden windows? Those looked to be installed correctly (prior to me finishing the walls around them)? Thanks for the response and help!! |

Are the Traco windows aluminum or vinyl? I can tell you Traco never made what i would consider a quality window. Even when they made windows for Sears they were pretty mediocre. Your problem is going to be that Traco is out of the residential window business so there's no warranty. I would try and find out who the installer was and ask them to come out and take a look. If not, see if you can get someone to take a look even if you have to pay them. I believe this is being cause by air leakage. It may be possible to adjust the windows to reduce leakage. If it's an install issue, it may be possible to either re-seal or correct improperly insulated window jambs. |

Traco would not have made the glass block windows, I am not sure of whom makes or made them however. |
- Posted by skydawggy (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Fri, Jan 20, 12 at 9:41
Correct, but it's pretty likely the glass block was installed by the same person who did the double hungs. If that's true, it's likely they did a poor job installing and sealing. |
Thank you for the thoughts and assistance! I will find someone to come out and take a look! |

Hi everyone! I am planning to make my own soiless mix that people are raving about in the Container forum. The major ingredient is Pine Bark Fines (roughly 1/8 inch in size), which I had never heard of, and I can't seem to locate any in the Calgary area. All that seems to be around are the big chips for mulching flowerbeds. Have any of you heard of pine bark fines and if so where one might get them around Calgary? Thank you.

Hello all,
We just upgraded from 2011 to 2013 and we are having SERIOUS problems with our projected sketch geometry in parts not updating. We have only done this about 1.1 million times over the past four years and now every one of our skeleton models we touch is failing to update and causing a whole mess of delays.
Please tell me there is a simple setting that we missed or something! I looked through the Application options for sketching and didn't see anything.
Please help us! We are dying!
I have similar issue in one of my drawings. (Only one though)
Because I was unable to share the sketch, I created new plane and projected the sketch.
And used the projected sketch to model few rollers. Everything works fine till this stage. Saved my assembly.
Reopen the model it says assembly requires updating and then it says error. Now if I redefine the sketch again with the new plane created, everything seems to be ok.
Save the drawing and if you reopen the problem is the same.
Weired but I dont know why.
I use INV 2013. All updates are installed.
Hope any one has solution..............
I tried it on R2013 but couldn't reproduce it, so I'd like to know whether this is a general issue or just datasets specific issue on your side. Would you please attach a dataset for investigating?
Okay so here's one example but we are having this happen all over the place and we can't figure out what is causing it. This picture is an example of some skeleton geometry we are using with Frame Generator. If I make the change shown in the "before" sketch:
I get incorrect results, like this "after" picture:
It doesn't have to be this specific change, we are encountering this type of situation on a lot of different part files (new & migrated) and in a lot of different types of changes. Some simple dimensional changes, some more complex, but either way it's killing us. We paid for a parametric modeller so that things would automatically update with a parameter change and it's not happening. I can't figure out if it's a setting somewhere that's not right, user error, or what but I can say my workflow for these types of items hasn't changed in 4 years and it's only become a problem after the upgrade.
I appreciate any help you kind people can offer.
Can't imagine what's going on at your place. I can move the center leg in your file and the projected ones move as expected... I haven't seen any issues in this area at all with 2013, either migrated or new files. I know this isn't particularly helpful, but it appears to be something specific to your environment.
That is helpful actually because it removes one more variable. It also supports my idea (hope?) that it's either a setting or user error or something like that.
If you get a chance can you maybe post a screenshot of your Application Options' Sketch tab like Webber did? Maybe after comparing all of these I can find something different.
try this one as well
I used your dataset and followed the steps as shown in the image but could't reproduce it on my two machines on R2013. I'm not sure what happens on your side. You may try to import the XML provided by Blair and let us know whether it fix your issue.
Okay, so after playing around with this over the last couple of weeks we still have been able to isolate the issues but we have had some success in reducing the occurrences somehow. It doesn't appear to be happening as often as it was in the beginning of using 2013 but it still happens from time to time (I had it happen again yesterday).
We used a completely new application options XML and, while that appeared promising in the beginning, it has not provided a compete solution at this point.
We have noticed that is is somehow related to points not updating. This might sound weird but sometimes the lines move but the endpoints do not. Like the image I posted above, the bottom point moves, and the line moves, but the top point (and the top of the line) does not move and I end up with a skewed line when it should be straight.
Yesterday I had a line move completely but it left one of its endpoints behind and my basic extrusion failed. It wasn't until I deleted the stray endpoints that it worked again. One of the points moved and the entire line moved/updated like it should, I just ended up with a point at the "old" endpoint that I had to delete for some reason.
I wish I had more information but this is proving difficult to isolate and reproduce consistently. Any more help that can be offered would be helpful.

The Montana Grizzlies will deal with a powerfull Coastal Carolina team in their FCS playoff opener Saturday.
After earning a first-round bye, the Griz were awaiting today's winner between Coastal Carolina and Bethune-Cookman.

Both Coastal Carolina (11-2, 4-1 Big South) and Bethune-Cookman (10-3, 7-1 MEAC) are ranked, and each were conference co-champions. The Chanticleers travel to Montana (10-2) for a second round game. Kickoff is at 12 p.m. (Mountain Time) Saturday at Washington-Grizzly Stadium.
Montana's two setbacks this year were 33-16 at 8th-ranked Northern Arizona and 42-37 to 3rd-ranked Eastern Washington.
CCU's two losses were 31-26 on the road to 16th-ranked Charleston Southern, and 70-10 at FBS powerhouse South Carolina.

Sam Raimi has recently said that he is NOT involved with The Hobbit. That mixed with New Line stating that Peter Jackson is attached makes for a heckuva day! Dropping Raimi like a bad hobbit is the right choice. Imagine Peter Jackson being able to focus on just one movie about the world he knows best! Recent Weta Digital improvements is liable to really kick this movie into orbit and who knows, Jackson is working with James Cameron on Avatar which is entirely in 3D - perhaps it is wishful thinking to imagine The Hobbit in 3D? Whoa. Read more on my blog - the link is to the left in my profile.

I am in need of assistance. We have done no lawn care for the past couple of years, other than mowing the lawn. We haven't wanted to use chemicals, but are not familiar with how to care for a lawn without chemicals. Finally, this year, we are committed to learning how to organically care for our weeds and yard overall. Our yard looks awful. It is covered in dandelions, little blue weed flowers, and another type of weed. We also have many bare patches. Now that it is May, what approach should we start with? Do we seed bare patches? Do we aerate? Do we fertilize? We honestly have no idea and would appreciate some help. I don't have a picture at the moment, but I could maybe get one. Most of our lawn is pretty shaded by very large trees. Thank you very much! Also, if anyone knows of where in the Chicago area we can buy the organic supplies, that would be great. |
Follow-Up Postings:
To decide the answers to those questions you need some information about your soil and what it needs. Start by contacting your nearest office of the university of Illinois Cooperative Extension Service and inquire at having a good, reliable soil test done. That should tell you what your soils pH is and why it is where it is as well as the major nutrients and the balance between them. Then dig in with these simple soil tests, 1) Soil test for organic matter. From that soil sample put enough of the rest to make a 4 inch level in a clear 1 quart jar, with a tight fitting lid. Fill that jar with water and replace the lid, tightly. Shake the jar vigorously and then let it stand for 24 hours. Your soil will settle out according to soil particle size and weight. For example, a good loam will have about 1-3/4 inch (about 45%) of sand on the bottom. about 1 inch (about 25%) of silt next, about 1 inch (25%) of clay above that, and about 1/4 inch (about 5%) of organic matter on the top. 2) Drainage. Dig a hole 1 foot square and 1 foot deep and fill that with water. After that water drains away refill the hole with more water and time how long it takes that to drain away. Anything less than 2 hours and your soil drains' too quickly and needs more organic matter to slow that drainage down. Anything over 6 hours and the soil drains too slowly and needs lots of organic matter to speed it up. 3) Tilth. Take a handful of your slightly damp soil and squeeze it tightly. When the pressure is released the soil should hold together in that clump, but when poked with a finger that clump should fall apart. 4) Smell. What does your soil smell like? A pleasant, rich earthy odor? Putrid, offensive, repugnant odor? The more organic matter in your soil the more active the soil bacteria will be and the nicer your soil will smell. 5) Life. How many earthworms per shovel full were there? 5 or more indicates a pretty healthy soil. Fewer than 5, according to the Natural Resources Conservation Service, indicates a soil that is not healthy. which can help you even more. |

I haven't liked their last few albums at all (loved most of All That You Can't Leave Behind though), but I'm still very interested in hearing about their new singles whenever they arrive. I'm not particularly interested in their other news or song debuts unless it's a single, part of the Spider-Man musical, or particularly good…
I love it!
It's like The Joshua Tree mixed with Darkness on the Edge of Town, yet completely original!
Also agreed, The Monitor was my favorite album of the year so far and certainly at least top-10 material!
I absolutely love a decent chunk of Avi Buffalo's album (Summer Cum, Jessica, What's In It For), but as a whole, it's not even close in quality to High Violet by The National or Beach Fossils' album in my opinion
Nice playlists! I actually just made my SUMMER JAMS mix a few days ago!
Some notable 2010 summer jams from mine:
"Power" by Kanye West
"Ghost Train" by Summer Camp
"Jailbreak" by Thin Lizzy (Summer throwback jam)
"Vacation" by Beach Fossils
"Wait Up (Boots of Danger)" by Tokyo Police Club
"REVOFEV" by Kid Cudi
"Down By the Water" by The Drums (Summer slow jam)
"Shine Blockas" by Big Boi
"Wouldn't It Be Bad" Lady Gaga & Ke$ha VS. The Beach Boys by DJ Clive$ter (Summer mash-jam)
I love this band, but I really wish everything I love wasn't covered in meat today (ie this video, the KFC Double Down ads on here).. it's really grossing me out..
It would be amazing if the album version sounded like this, but alas, there's nearly no chance of that happening…
pretty easily the best song they've (well ,Billy Corgan has) made since the singles from Melon Collie…
I surprisingly actually like this!
[adult swim] really needs to give this man a show!
I have a feeling he'd love it.. Ever hear The Replacements' cover of I Got You Babe? It's sloppily fantastic (just like all their covers of songs)
(Obviously, Unsatisfied has a lot more emotion behind it, but I think Courtney does an interesting take on it)
Ma'am, I don't mean to be impolite, but do you actually read Stereogum, or do you just have a Google News Alert about Owl City? At least 9 out of 10 of the news articles discuss bands that are well-liked here. Can there not be one band to discuss and hate on?

Build Your Domain
Announcing Kingdoms, an upcoming board game of realms and riches |
Kingdoms | Published 19 September 2011 |
In an age of fantastic creatures and noble knights, rival lords attempt to seize power and claiming dominion over the land. The most effective tool in their defense is the castle, a fortified seat of power from which a king can rule the surrounding territories. But the world is vast, and one castle is not enough. Any lord hoping to spread his influence over the whole of the realm must judiciously build these massive fortresses where they can best oversee the populace, profiting from their fealty. Can you lead your kingdom to wealth and glory?
Fantasy Flight Games is excited to announce the upcoming release of Reiner Knizia's Kingdoms, a board game in which two to four players struggle for control of a vast medieval empire! First published by Fantasy Flight Games in 2002, Kingdoms has been updated in this comprehensive new version to feature detailed plastic castles, a streamlined ruleset, and other welcome game enhancements.
Your empire rises
In Kingdoms, players assume the roles of rival kings trying to increase their wealth by establishing castles across the land. By building castles in the richest regions, you stand to reap the most rewards. But build carefully! The most sought after regions may be infested with dragons, trolls, or other hazards that seek to rob your kingdom of its riches. This engaging board game of wealth and expansion offers a rapid and strategic contest of wits in which players attempt to outthink and outmaneuver each other, all while ensuring the best positions for themselves.
Will you rise above your rivals to earn dominance over the realm? Visit our detailed description page for an overview of play, and look for Reiner Knizia's Kingdoms on store shelves late in the fourth quarter of 2011!
Designed by Reiner Knizia, Kingdoms is a fast-paced, strategic board game in which two to four players assume the roles of rival kings trying to increase their wealth by establishing castles across the land. By building castles in the richest regions, you stand to reap the most rewards. But build carefully! The most sought after regions may be infested with dragons, trolls, or other hazards that seek to rob your kingdom of its riches.
What is suggested age of this game? In description we can see "14+" but BGG shows "8+".
This looks like a lovely edition of the game.
I would suspect that FFG are dropping Beowulf the Movie for this.
BTM was lovely too (really lovely), if a little flawed And the theme with kingdoms works better with the mechanics than beowulf did.
Since I have beowulf I probably won't be getting this FFG seem to be taking this game in the right direction
no expansions :|
good point i did check out Beowulf the movie boardgame, and it seems exactly like this. Hopefully FFG is bringing something new this 3rd time around
@mbelly What is wrong with a silver line game?
... dang it. Or I could do the sensible thing and check the catalog tab and see that is listed as a board game. Never mind folks, nothing to see over here.
You'll find that the Silver Line game designation is not listed any more. This might qualify as a standalone card game? In any case, I am looking forward to it. I've been interested in this for a while now.
Hope its not. Cant wait :D.
Is this going to be a Silver Line game?
I picked up a copy of Beowulf: The Movie board game a while ago on a whim (my understanding is that it was a reimplementation of Kingdoms), and it is a lot of fun. THe strategy can get pretty deep, while the game remains simple to play. I really enjoyed it.
Great news! A Wizard tile will be included?
Through the Desert was re-released about a year ago and is currently available.

Kennedy to host second fundraiser for successor Cicilline
July 28th, 2011 at 7:00 am by Ted Nesi under Nesi's NotesFormer Congressman Patrick Kennedy is planning to host a second fundraiser to raise money for David Cicilline, who succeeded him in January, WPRI.com has confirmed.
"We are planning an event with the [former] congressman for the fall," Cicilline spokeswoman Nicole Kayner said. "Details haven't been set or confirmed yet." It will likely take place in September.
Kennedy already held a fundraising reception for Cicilline in California last month when the two men were both in the Golden State. "It went great, and we were thrilled to have the congressman do it," Kayner said.
Kennedy is not just a supporter of Cicilline's - the Portsmouth resident is also one of his constituents in the 1st Congressional District.
A source close to Kennedy said the newly married former rep is fully behind Cicilline as the first-term incumbent prepares for what could be a tough re-election fight. "Patrick and David are close, so it's not surprising that Patrick would look to help him whenever and however he can," the source said.
Kennedy and his wife are scheduled to hold a fundraiser this Saturday to benefit another Rhode Island Democrat up for re-election in 2012, U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse.

Magouirk has taught at Cleveland Middle School for nine years, earned her associate's degree from Cleveland State, bachelor's degree from Lee University, master's degree in administration and supervision from Lincoln Memorial University, and is completing her Ed.D. in education from Liberty University.
"I believe that school board members should have experience working in education. Many items that are proposed, although well-intentioned, are simply not practical or reasonable. Unless a person is in the education field, he or she cannot truly understand the implications of legislative proposals or how decisions will affect schools, teachers and students," Magouirk states.
"As a teacher, I have firsthand experience with the needs of schools, how to prioritize spending, and allocate resources," Magouirk continued.
"My priority as a school board member will be to secure the resources that teachers need to provide the best education for our children. I will work for the appropriate amount and quality of classroom space and materials to facilitate student academic achievement in every school. Also, I believe that 21st century education demands permanently staffed related arts teachers in the areas of music, art, computer science and so forth. It will also be my priority to implement a program where no child's family has to pay for breakfast, lunch or school fees. As is seen in other systems around the country, this is a viable and worthy goal."
Magouirk has spent years in community service and professional organizations, including the Post Office Food Drive, Winter Coat Drive, church youth group leadership, Backyard Ministries tutoring, the Association for Middle Level Education, Cleveland Education Association, Tennessee Education Association, National Education Association, and Tennessee Foster Care Association.
Magouirk is married to Jim Floyd and has two daughters, whom she adopted from foster care. She also has two stepchildren, one daughter-in-law and five grandchildren. "And over a thousand children whom I've educated, nurtured and encouraged in my classroom," states Magouirk.
"The Bradley County Schools system has many great teachers, administrative leaders and strong support staff who care for and value their students. As a member of the Bradley County School Board, I will listen and work hard to meet the concerns of parents, students and teachers."
Magouirk concludes, "I appreciate your vote on Aug. 7 to elect me as the next school board member from the 6th District (Black Fox, Blue Springs, Valley View and Waterville)."

Echoing previous positive reviews- this shampoo is fantastic! It's a miracle worker for oily roots, dry ends. I've tried other shampoos that make the same claim and have never found one that actually worked. My search is over. This may be my HG :) Will update if anything changes but so far so excellent ;)

My hairdresser was commenting today on how silky and soft my hair was. I use just a small amount of the product to create sufficient amount of leather and a bottle lasts me 6-8 weeks. I did not see difference in reduction of oiliness but hair looks much healthier, bouncy and shiny. I have tried crystalliste bain previously and it made my lengths dry but this one is just a must have. My search is over!

This is the 1st shampoo that effectively helped me to extend time between washing my hair. I used to wash my hair every other day (3-4 times a week), now I wash it only twice a week.
It contains salicylic acid that truly eliminates sebum at the roots but if I use this shampoo more than twice a week it dries a little bit my scalp. Actually on the regular basis there is no need to wash my hair three times a week now, but sometimes I still feel like to refresh my hair because of an unexpected occasion or whatever. And in case I need to wash it the 3rd time during the same week I prefer to use another shampoo.
I cannot say it nourishes my dry hair lengths. I still need to apply oil before washing my hair. But other shampoos for oily/combination hair that I used were leaving my lengths really dry and this one doesn't dry out but doesn't moisturize either. I cannot say it really works as a balancing shampoo for me. But still I find it better than other shampoos for oily hair.
This shampoo contains Vitamin B6 (in the ingredients list it is called pyridoxine).They say it prevents hair loss and also increases the production of melanin (the chemical that gives hair its color). I do believe that it might work if taking food supplement but difficult to say how effectively it is when added in a shampoo.
It also contains glycine derivative. It helps to prevent hair from damage by keeping PH balance.
As for SLS, this shampoo contains sodium laureth sulphate and tea-lauryl sulphate that is a gentle version of all SLS.
If someone is interested, here is a guide that I found once and now I check all the shampoos accordingly: 1. Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate the worst 2. Ammonium Laureth Sulfate - very harsh but better than the above 3. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate - better than the above, but still a little bit harsh. 4. Sodium Laureth Sulfate - gentle, great pick. 5 TEA lauryl Sulfate - good pick 6. TEA Laureth Sulfate -good pick.
I personally believe this shampoo is worth the money you pay for it. (I buy it for 16 euro)

When I first tried this shampoo, I hated it. My hair was really damaged, and it didn't really like this shampoo for some reason, but now my hair likes it. I have fine hair, but lots of it, I and very oily roots, and I need shampoos to clean my scalp but do not take away moisture. This shampoo cleaned my scalp, and left my hair very smooth and stronger. Normally I use Lush rehab, and it's a bit the same. They both really clean my hair, but do not strip it. However I always use a conditioner after I've used Bain Divalent, because my ends are dry, but they've alway been dry, even though I have healthy lengths. I must warn you not to use it every single day. Use it once a week when you really want to clean your hair, but this isn't for every day use. If you want a shampoo for every day of the week, try Crystalliste. Crystalliste is very mild, and perfect for long hair.
It depends on your hair off course. My hair hates bain de force, it leaves a layer on my hair, and it makes it look greasy. And some of the styling products like ciment thermique and oleo relax serum were just awful. Only nectar thermique works, don't ask me why. Like I said it depends. If you really want to know if something works, just aks a sample.
I'm thinking of trying one of the bain nutritive shampoos, probably bain satin 2 or bain nutri-thermique. I really like nectar thermique, but I don't really like the masquintinse hair masque. So I don't know if bain satin 2 will be good for my hair.
I agree with Kérastase being very expensive, but it's better than supermarket shampoos. I've tried so many shampoos, and the supermarket shampoos really dried out my hair, and made it look static without any shine. So you pay for what you get. And it really lasts long, because you don't have to use a lot of shampoo, in fact you should add water instead of shampoo, using too much shampoo isn't good, and only use it on your roots, your ends will be cleaned when you rinse your hair.

I had such high hopes for this shampoo, but what a let down! I have long fine hair, but there is lots of it so it can look quite full and fluffy. I don't do color treatments or anything like that. I just shampoo every other day and use the blow dryer on it and sometimes the curling iron. Anyway, thought that this shampoo would make it easier to go longer between washings since I have heard this is better for your hair. The shampoo states that it is for oily roots and dry or sensitized ends. My roots can get a little oily on the second day between washings and I feel like the lengths of my hair are a bit dry.
The first time I used it, I could actually hear my hair squeaking as I rinsed it out. It was clean, but almost stripped clean. When I dried it, it felt like straw. It looked like a rat's nest. By the afternoon it felt like it had a residue on it, almost like I hadn't rinsed it all the way - even though I know I had.
I was determined to make it work, however, and gave it another shot on my next shampoo day. Same negative result. But the worst was yet to come...
By the evening of my second wash with this shampoo my head had a few lumps on it. It felt like a breakout on my scalp, but they weren't pimples. Just painful raised lumps like an allergic reaction.
That's it for me. I don't think I'll try Kerastase again, despite the hype. I am sad to see a full bottle go to waste, but whatever is in this stuff did not agree with my hair or my scalp.
EDIT: Saw another reviewer who said to use it only once a week. I reluctantly gave it one more shot. So glad I did. I have been using it once per week and the rest of the time use my regular shampoo and conditioner. My hair feels great, smells great, and I have had no more allergies or reactions to the shampoo. Who knew there could be such a difference between using it every other day and using it once a week? Updated my rating to reflect how well the shampoo works for me now.

Can't say I liked anything about this product. It's very expensive, the packaging looks nice but not exactly the most practical for when it comes to distributing the product easily and it made my hair incredibly oily. It also made my scalp itchy, and I started to develop dandruff by the end of the week. :(

My hairdresser recommended this stuff for my long, fine, colour-teated hair with very oily roots. It's ok, and perhaps it helps slightly with the oily roots to help me get another half day out of my hair, but that might also be all the dry shampoo that I have to use on the second day, and my hair still looks greasy! Expensive and not doing enough for the money, if you ask me. I wouldn't recommend it.

I can't live without this shampoo! My hair is very problematic, I have very oily roots and this is the only product that has helped me control the oil. My hair without this gets oily the same day I wash it, once a friend asked me if I still had my hair wet but it was just sebum (so embarrasing). But honestly, my problems went away with this shampoo, my hairdresser recommended it to me years ago and I've been loving it ever since. I don't even remember how many bottles of this I have bought. I love love this! The only bad thing is the price, is very expensive, but its worth it.

My hairdresser recommended this product to me for my oily, fine hair and I think it really does help. I also use the Kerastase Ciment Anti Usure conditioner - also a great product that conditions (and keeps static and fly aways at bay) without weighing hair down. Before, I had to wash my hair every day and would sometimes still end up with an oily scalp later on in the evening. This combination hasn't fixed my hair in that I no longer have oily roots and can wash my hair every 3 days or anything (i dont think anything will really do that) - but I can at least go a second day, albeit with my hair pulled up. Other drug store shampoos i used to use for volume and fine hair dont even come close to this as I would still end up with oily roots and a lot of static after blowdrying. Another tip my hairdresser has me do is to do a cold rinse after conditioning and to not scrub the scalp too much (or shampoo more than once) as the harshness actually brings more oil out. The products are kind of expensive but the salon sized versions are pretty good value for money.

Summer months on Mauna Kea tend to be wetter than winter months. For how much time is generally available in certain weather bands at certain times of the year: click here (discussion reprinted from the Spring 2007 issue of the JCMT Newsletter). For example, during average winter months (Dec-April) 10-15% of the time is band 1, while in summertime the fraction is under 5%. Good weather is more frequent during El Nino. About 15% of the time we encounter band 5 weather, and as much again is lost entirely to bad weather. Proposal SubmissionNorthstar is available for the 14A round. The Northstar, web-based proposal submission and management system was imported from ASTRON to JAC, and has handled recent proposal rounds. Poor server access for a small number of applicants in the initial rounds has been overcome; we urge applicants experiencing problems in submission to contact us as soon as possible. All users are advised to check and update your accounts. As mentioned in our Help page, you may, at first, have to accept the server certificate to gain access to Northstar. Except for the University of Hawaii, all proposals should be submitted If you have a Northstar account already you can login using your username and password; new users should register first. Help regarding the submission process is available here - - - and in our Help pages ! Results are sent to applicants following the national TAG meetings (which are usually in May or November) and after ratification at the ITAC meeting (June or December). To Which Queue Should You Send Your Application?:Proposals should be submitted to the United Kingdom-, the Canadian-, or the International- queue, depending on the primary funding agency of the Principal Investigator (PI) or Co-Investigators (CoIs):
Proposals sent to the wrong queue risk being rejected, as do proposals using font sizes smaller than those prescribed. Observer Status and Flexible ObservingAll queues now operate using dedicated observing blocks. The observer during these blocks is usually associated with one of the high-priority programmes to be observed, but is effectively running the entire (national) queue in a flexible manner. All applicants should anticipate the possibility that they may or may not be asked to be an observer for their national queue. Requests for 'classical' observer status should be explained in the "Scheduling Preferences" section of the proposal. Flexible SchedulingThe overall philosophy of observing at JCMT is to match observing programmes to the weather; our Flexible Observing Guidelines are recommended reading for all visitors to JCMT observing in all queues (except Univ. of Hawaii).The JCMT Users e-mail exploder:From time to time, subscribers to the 'jcmt_users' email list will receive notices on the status of the JCMT, call for proposals, etc. To subscribe, please visit http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/jcmt_users And Finally:If you've read all this and still have questions about the scheduling, the submission deadlines, the procedures, etc - please contact me.
