Starhawk drops new CGI Trailer (GC 2011)
by Justin Leroy August 16, 2011 in Action, PlayStation, Shooter, Strategy
LightBox Studio the creators of Warhawk have just released a new CGI game trailer for the upcoming PS3 multiplayer 3rd person shooter / RTS Starhawk. It shows off some good old fashioned ground pounding infantry and vehicle combat and also takes us on a little panoramic flight up into the planet's atmosphere showing off some spaceships dog fighting each other. I know it's just CGI but it still might interest some, and the game itself seems to be shaping up quite nicely, we'll see about getting some straight in game footage posted up later on. Trailer below.

One week after the disappearance of Jessica Ridgeway of Westminster, Colo., FBI, police and searchers, continue to look for the missing 10 year old. On October 11 searchers found a body in Pattridge Park in Arvada, which is about seven miles from where Jessica went missing on October 10, 2012. Late yesterday investigators announced that identification of the body would take some time because it was "not intact," but would not elaborate further. In a statement by Dave Joly, of the local FBI office, FBI have asked the public to keep any eye out for a potential kidnapper, offering tips to any and everyone in the community saying, "Often, someone in the community will unknowingly be associated with the offender of the crime, and may be in a position to observe behavioral changes in that person. They will recognize the changes, and may even question the person about it, but may not relate the changes to that person's involvement in the crime." Joly concluded saying, "It could be your boss, it could be your friend, and ultimately it could be your family member. Bring this information to law enforcement and let us vet that to a close. If that person is not the suspect, 'Thank you for your call.' Next lead."
Specifically, the behavioral changes include: sudden, unplanned absence from work, any excuse may be offered; missing all types of scheduled appointments and prior commitments; leaving town suddenly for any reason; expressing intense interest in the status of the investigation or just the opposite, changing the subject or turning off media accounts; Changes in alcohol and drug consumption; alterations in personal or vehicular appearance.
FBI investigators are also examining the possibility of a connection between Jessica's disappearance and the October 8 abduction of an eleven-year-old girl from Cody, Montana, 500 miles away. The girl, whose identity is being protected since she was a victim of sexual assault, was with friends when a man in an SUV stopped and asked for help finding a lost puppy. One girl agreed to help and got in the front-passenger seat the SUV and rode off. Her friends called police 45 minutes later when she still had not returned. The Amber Alert was issued at 6:45 p.m. that night, and the child was found walking on a road outside Cody at 8:15. According to the police report, "[The girl] reported that when she approached the suspect vehicle, the suspect brandished a 'pistol' and directed her to get in the front passenger seat of the vehicle. The suspect then drove the victim onto Carter Mountain where he sexually assaulted her." FBI have released a photo of the white 2004 or 2005 Toyota 4 door 4-Runner SUV (with or without the cargo box) believed to have been used in Jessica's abduction. The SUV has grey leather type front seats, the back seat and luggage area were set up with bedding type materials. The suspect is a white male with short strawberry blonde or white hair, and well-trimmed facial hair. He is approximately 55-60 years of age, 6 feet tall and weighs 185 to 200 lbs. The suspect is armed and dangerous, and should not be approached. Instead, please contact law enforcement either in Cody (307-527-8700) or at the FBI national tip line at (1-800-225-5324).
Anyone with information about the case of Jessica Ridgeway is urged to call the Westminster Police Department at 303-658-2400.

This key introductory OU level 1 module is an ideal starting point for studying the natural sciences – astronomy and planetary science; biology; chemistry; earth and environmental science; and physics. Using a blend of text and online study materials, this wide-ranging module explores some of the fundamental concepts and methods that underpin modern science. In doing so, the module will help you to systematically develop the skills that are vital for the successful study of science at higher levels.
OU qualifications are modular in structure; the credits from this undergraduate-level module could count towards a certificate of higher education, diploma of higher education, foundation degree or honours degree.

Exploring science uses the approaches taken by physicists, Earth scientists, biologists and chemists to help you develop a broad appreciation of science. The module begins with a detailed multi-disciplinary investigation of global warming. It then goes on to book-length explorations of the Earth and its place in the Universe; the physics of motion, energy and light; the atomic basis of matter and the fundamentals of chemistry. The first part of the module ends with a discussion of biological cells and the chemistry of life. Important as these topics are, they are accompanied by an equally important development of your skills as a scientist and as a student of science. The final part of the module gives you the opportunity to further develop your knowledge and skills with another book-length exploration in an area of your choice; biology and life science, Earth and environmental science, or astronomy and physical science.
In addition to learning scientific information, you will also learn about the methods of acquiring and evaluating such information. You will start to develop the skills of interpreting scientific information presented in a variety of ways (on screen and in print), and of communicating your scientific knowledge and understanding to others. An important part of this will be the development of key mathematical skills, crucial for analysis and explanation. You will also perform some practical work that will require you to make observations and record measurements. Overall, this module offers learning that provides an ideal general science foundation, and upon which later more specialist science study can be built.
While exploring a variety of interesting topics, this module will develop your problem-solving abilities, improve your mathematical and communication skills, and help you to use computers for effective learning and communication. All these skills are likely to be useful in a work context, particularly in jobs requiring a precise and quantitative approach.
You will be assigned a tutor who will help you with the study material and mark and comment on your written work, and whom you can ask for academic advice and guidance. If you are new to The Open University, you will find that your tutor is particularly concerned with helping you with your study methods. Your tutor will also offer support through email and online forum discussions. We may also be able to offer group tutorials or day schools that you are encouraged, but not obliged, to attend. Where your tutorials are held will depend on the distribution of students taking the module.
Contact our Student Registration & Enquiry Service if you want to know more about study with The Open University before you register.
The assessment details for this module can be found in the facts box above.
You will be expected to submit your tutor-marked assignments (TMAs) online through the eTMA system unless there are some difficulties which prevent you from doing so. In these circumstances, you must negotiate with your tutor to get their agreement to submit your assignment on paper.
The details given here are for the module that starts in October 2014. We expect it to be available twice a year.
As a student of The Open University, you should be aware of the content of the Module Regulations and the Student Regulations which are available on our Essential documents website.

This is a key introductory OU level 1 module. OU level 1 modules provide core subject knowledge and study skills needed for both higher education and distance learning, to help you to progress to OU level 2 study.
You are not expected to have an extensive knowledge of science, but you should be able to:
It is essential that you establish whether or not your background and experience give you a sound basis on which to tackle the module, since students who are appropriately prepared have the best chance of completing their studies successfully and get the most enjoyment out of the module.

Every ad agency in Philly promises that they can handle your rebranding initiative, web marketing, or print advertising. They may try to dazzle you with the latest web content marketing or email marketing services to produce business to business leads. Timmons&Company does all that, too – but what makes us different is how we do it.
Lean manufacturing, lean enterprise practices, and Six Sigma defect elimination are established hallmarks of well-run companies. Often, the desire to improve efficiencies can also result in the desire to define a new kind of relationship with a firm's chosen marketing partner. Timmons&Company has been at the forefront of this highly flexible and cost-effective method of achieving marketing goals.
Ad Agency for Rebranding, Online Advertising, Direct Mail Advertising
While we do have a number of relationships where we are designated as an "agency of record" and strategic partner, our more frequent operating method is often more circumscribed, responsive, and agile, and typically based on completing individual projects – anything from a rebranding initiative, to a website design and launch, to a direct mail or advertising campaign. We are marketing experts, highly trained and experienced specialists who are well-equipped to take on your most challenging marketing problems. As a marketing SWAT team, Timmons&Company comes up to speed quickly, develops smart strategies, and executes those plans with tactical precision in order to deliver measurable results in our clients' markets.
Mission Definition
Every job we perform begins with an understanding of the mission, its goals, the budgetary parameters, and how it integrates with a client's larger branding imperatives.
We memorialize the mission and commit to the deliverable(s) in a precisely written proposal prior to moving forward with client approval. From high level Brandstorming exercises that create a unique IsoBrand to highly specialized tactics like trade show messaging and graphics, we articulate the mission precisely in order to ensure that defined success metrics are achieved.
Understanding is integral to mission success. We begin each initiative by interviewing designated stakeholders in order to accomplish two essential objectives – uncovering strengths/vulnerabilities and clarifying context. Only when these elements are clearly understood can tactical vehicles be developed to accomplish the mission.
Every tactic or strategy has behavior modification as its objective. As marketers we influence buying decisions through the application of creativity. The success of each effort is integrally related to the specificity with which we can identify our targets. When we understand what our targets want and need, we can effectively craft marketing communication vehicles that capture their imagination and their attention.
Understanding the field of battle is critical to operational success. We need to know who we are up against, what their strengths are, how our client's compare to them, and why buying decisions get made. Our process includes gathering business intelligence from numerous sources to confirm or challenge the perceptions and data elicited from our clients. Contextual accuracy improves planning and execution.
There is never a single answer to any marketing challenge. Our creative solutions process is built on the idea of options. Every project results in the creation of a range of responsive concepts that are born from facts uncovered by our research as well as an understanding of the available technologies and marketing tools available in today's integrated world of communications. Clients receive a presentation of tactical options and make the ultimate go decision in every case.
Once tactics are finalized to our clients' satisfaction we execute the mission. In some cases this involves our complete control of the dissemination process (website build, launch, and host; direct mail fulfillment; email blast campaign scheduling; etc.) or it may simply require us to turn over completed files to designated internal personnel.
After the mission launches, we measure the result and refine the tactic and strategy to improve effectiveness going forward. Every action creates reaction and no mission remains static. Competition responds, products evolve, requirements change, and marketing tactics and strategies need to remain fluid, adaptable, and informed by the facts on the ground.

I think the best place to eat is at mgm its calle tha 50's Diner. It has the best food.
Hello there,
Yes I agree that MGM's Prime Time Cafe is just great we ate there in September this year weloved the pot roast...
In fact I now am craving a "Peanut Butter & Jelly milkshake"
Take Care

Take Care
Annette :o)
I like the Columbia Harbour House. The fish is good and the atmosphere in the upstairs diningroom is very relaxing. Plus it's near the Mansion.
Hollywood Brown Derby for sure!! Nothing beats that Cobb Salad!! I could eat it every day!
Boma is the best. I do love San Angel Inn, 'ohana, Whsipering Canyon Cafe, and Chefs de France as well
Best CS is the Flame Tree BBQ
This varies from trip to trip, since it seems the more popular they become, some decline. The best meals we had last time were at Japan, the one with the chef at the table and Yak & Yeti. Yak and Yeti's menu was very original which seems to be lost on Disney menu planners lately.
Mine has got to be Comic Rays (TL)
The food is amazing (try the double bacon chesse burger its the best),and that alien is is brilliant aswell.
'Lets never loose sight of one thing,that it all started with a mouse'
Garden Grill is my absolute favorite. We went there for the first time in 2006 and it has definitely become our staple restaurant ever since. The food is an amazing, all-you-can-eat family style buffet--they bring the food to you--and for a relatively inexpensive price, considering it's Disney AND Character Dining (Mickey, Pluto, Chip & Dale)...and the green beans are amazing
I love Ohanas, mainly because its a great place to watch Wishes from if you get there at the right time, and the atmosphere is fantastic!
Quick Service - Yak & Yeti Local Foods (Honey Chicken), Table Service - Le Cellier (Cheddar Soup & Filet), Snack - Main St Bakery (Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich{especially good during Spectromagic})
2001 - Caribbean Beach
2008 - Pop Century
2010 - Port Orleans Riverside
I proudly support The FairTax!
I absolutely love...
-Earl of Sandwich
-Japan (No one in my family can pronounce the name..heh)
-Seashore Sweets, even though it's not totally a restaurant
Boomer Sooner"Singing as we fetch the detergent boxOr the smelly shirts and the stinky socks Sing alongIf you cannot sing then hum alongAs were finishing our happy working song!"-Happy Working Song"Float like a cadalac, Sting like a beamer"-Lightening McQueen
We love Le Cellier in Epcot and Yak and Yeti in Animal Kingdom. The Duck at Yak and Yeti is great!!!
i love ohana at polynesian
It really depends on which area you are in the mood for. I went to Hoop de Doo and had a blast! I also had a great time at Garden Grill and at the Yak and Yeti restaurants.

The Freedom Model of Network Marketing
December 9, 2012 in Empower Network Formula, Viral Blogging System
There alot us on the internet that buy alot of products online meaning to make money online, I have done this buying one product to the next hoping to make money online. I have to be honest that Empower Network is a programme that you need to get and stick with. So I want to share with you the message that has been written by David Wood, himself. David Wood is one of the CEO's and founder of Empower Network. So I want to share with you this message from David Wood, What is the purpose of the Empower Network?
What is the purpose of the Empower Network?
by David Wood
There's a lot, but let me give you the biggest two reasons 'why' we do everything that we do:
1. To teach 'the Freedom Model' of Network Marketing and Internet Marketing to the masses in the industry who are sick and tired of 'grinding' strategies – 3 way calls, constant, never ending meetings, calling leads, being everyone to everybody – the need to become a Guru, the need to know everything before you make anything. To teach the real 'beach money' lifestyle formula, that works, and keeps you free – regardless of what business you're in.
Why is the freedom model badass? Because you can build a business, and have a life, too.
2. To give the average guy a real, accessable 'guru business' in a box. What's a 'guru business'?
It's the model that high level gurus spend their entire life creating, and is the most profitable kind of business that exists.
In Empower Network, we give you badass products in a well oiled, perfectly planned ladder of escalation, cover the support and technical infrastructure for you, develop the front end marketing systems to sell it for you, so you can…
…make money like the Gurus do – now.
No need to hire employees, no need to be a 'god' of marketing – no need to be a charismatic leader, yet – you can just…
…make money like the Gurus do.
So I hope this has given you more clarity "What the purpose of the Empower Network" is. Because what we can accomplish together, is dramatically better, and more powerful, than we could ever accomplish alone.

Vt. revenues up in most categories in JanuaryFebruary 16,2013MONTPELIER New figures show that Vermont state revenues were up in most categories last month, coming in slightly ahead of projections.
In the results released Thursday, Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding said January was a good month for the state treasury.
General Fund revenues in January were $2.3 million, or 1.6 percent, above forecasts. Seven months into the current fiscal year that ends June 30, general fund revenues total $750 million, three-tenths of one percent above the target figure.
The non-dedicated transportation fund receipts in January exceeded forecasts by about three-quarters of one percent. Year-to-date the fund is about one-tenth of one percent above target.
But the non-property tax education fund receipts for January were about one-tenth of one percent below expectations. For the year, the fund is just below even.MORE IN This Just InThe Associated Press Full StoryPolice: Man robbed Full StoryIllegal gun buy Full Story -

Preventive Service Planning
This list provides information regarding all known "Unsupported Products" as discussed in the WebSphere® Everyplace Mobile Portal Enable Support Statement in the version 6.0 Information Center. This list is not intended to be exhaustive. In the absence of an explicit listing of a product and unless told otherwise by the Everyplace Mobile Portal Support team, customers should assume that the status of the product is unknown and that the product may be incompatible with Everyplace Mobile Portal.
An "Unsupported Product" is a product (at a specified version, release and fix level) that is known to not work with Everyplace Mobile Portal and is therefore not supported. A product can be included in this category as a result of an explicit test effort by Everyplace Mobile Portal Development or as a result of discovery from a prior customer problem. While newer versions, releases, or fix packs of WebSphere Portal may initially be on the Unsupported Products list, this may change in a future release of Everyplace Mobile Portal as Everyplace Mobile Portal depends upon WebSphere Portal interfaces and must always be tested with specific versions, releases, or fix packs of WebSphere Portal prior to claiming support.
This list will be updated as needed to include the most current information available. Status of Unsupported Products is subject to change at any time depending upon development efforts. At the time of this writing, the following products are not supported with Everyplace Mobile Portal version 6.0:
- Microsoft Windows® Vista® is not yet a tested or supported client platform.
- Oracle® Type 2 (or OCI) drivers
- IBM® WebSphere® Portal, V6.0.1, 126.96.36.199
- IBM® WebSphere® Application Server, V6.1
- IBM WebSphere Application Server Deployment Manager, V6.1
- IBM WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, V6.1
- IBM 64-bit WebSphere Application Server, version 6.0.1 or 6.0.2*
- IBM Java™ SDK version 1.5
- IBM DB2® Universal JDBC Driver
- IBM DB2 Legacy JDBC Type 4 Driver (Type 2 is fully supported)
Be mindful of the supported platforms for WebSphere Process Server, for that may limit the choice of platforms possible when the portal is deployed with the Process Server. WebSphere Portal may support more or different platforms than any particular version of the Process Server. Proper planning must be considered before installing them together. WebSphere Portal was tested only on platforms supported by the specific Process Server fix maintenance level documented in each release of WebSphere Portal's InfoCenter, so any additional platforms supported by subsequent releases of the Process Server will be untested until the next full test cycle of WebSphere Portal in conjunction with a service release.

Carnival of Socialism
It's been a while since we've had a Carnival of Socialism, but in these grim grey days of Tory government, austerity cuts, attacks on unions, airbrushed faces, airbrushed parliaments, parties without leaders, leaders without parties, Theresa May, and other detestable shit it seems that we are in need of such a project. For those readers who have never seen a Carnival before, it is a roving summary of the left blogs, each week appearing in a different place. In recent months it has dried up a bit, and we are on the look-out for more people to run carnivals. If you are interested then please check out http://carnivalofsocialism.blogspot.com and get in touch.
As for what's on the left blogs, there has been a lot of post-election analysis and critique. In some ways I can't help feeling that we are left with a situation of "water, water, everywhere, nor any drop to drink" in which parliamentary politics has so much dominated our thinking in recent weeks that ongoing left-wing campaigns are being left behind. Nonetheless, a lot of what has been said about the election in the left press is interesting and important, so I'm going to try to offer a mix of articles, some on the election, and some not. So, we'll start with the election and move on to more interesting issues.
Dave Osler was certainly quick off the mark on Wednesday when the coalition had been announced in offering up the idea of "absolute anti-Toryism". This is going to be an important point in the hopefully soon-to-come ripping asunder of the Lib Dems. But Sunny Hundal over at Pickled Politics has offered up an alternative view. I have to admit that I'm with Dave on this one (although I do struggle to empathise with those who ever considered the Lib Dems to be left-wing), but no doubt interesting debate will continue here.
There has also been some analysis of what has happened to the hard-left in this election. I have to admit that I am deeply depressed by A Very Public Sociologists lengthy article on this but he is right in the end, and we do need to be thinking about these issues an taking them on board. Similarly, for those who like depressing reading on a Sunday afternoon, Though Cowards Flinch has given a thoroughgoing analysis of the BNP vote – and again, it is massively important that the left gets to grips with these figures. Yes, the fight was won in Barking, but we are clearly still present with anti-fascist battles that will require a vast amount of organising and work.
So, out of this post-election turmoil, where are we? Well to start with, there are already campaigns being set up around Theresa May's appointment as Women and Equality Minister. Pink News gives a good summary of an LBGTQ campaign that has started on facebook, alongside a petition, whilst Penny Red has written a comprehensive argument about why we must oppose May on women's issues, both of which are really worth reading and campaigning around.
Meanwhile Paul Cotterill at The Bickerstaffe Record (congrats on your re-election) puts forward a good angry argument against all of this 55% bollocks that the Tories and their cronies are trying to put through.
The other thing that's going on I the Labour leadership election. In true depressive spirit, I thought I'd bring together some of the articles that have been written on why we shouldn't vote for particular "left-wing" candidates. Harpy Marx explains why John Cruddas probably isn't much of a lefty (I'm inclined to agree – he seems to have been positioning himself rather cynically as a lefty for a while now.) Don Paskini at Liberal Conspiracy has an article against Ed Miliband, and in a particularly out-there move, Andy Newman at Socialist Unity put up an article on why John McDonnell may not be a good choice. Over here at The Third Estate, we're considering setting up a campaign for Ralph Miliband to be elected as Labour leader. He may be dead, but at least he's not as retarded as his kids.
To sum up this election section, Jim Jepps at The Daily (Maybe) considers quite how Gordon Brown will be remembered.
So, what about the non-election stuff? I'll be honest with you, there's not a whole lot of it, so I'll start with some events I've been to this week. On Wednesday night I went to Democracy on Trial: a wonderful night of all sorts of things organised by Mutiny. Part of this was a short film that Luna17 has up on her blog, which is really worth watching. Yes, ok this is still kind of related to the election, but at least it's the sort of thing we can be chirpy about.
On Friday I went up to Middlesex University to visit the occupation that we had reported here at The Third Estate a couple of weeks ago – sadly the occupation ended yesterday, but you can still keep up to date with all of the news around the campaign on the Save Middlesex Philosophy site. Interestingly this campaign has attracted the attention of some wonderful comrades over the pond calling themselves Communique from an Absent Future, and Counterfire has brought us what they have to say about it.
One other lovely non-election piece that I found whilst rooting around, is a good bit of Marxist economic analysis also relating to the situation in Greece on Boffy's Blog – There hasn't been a whole lot of lefty bloging on Greece, and there's even less on the situation on Thailand, and it would be great to see more on these issues in the coming weeks if anyone happens to be in the know.
Finally, to round off what has been a relatively depressing carnival, I will continue in the same vain by saying goodbye to The Daily Quail, which ended its operations about a month ago. It will be missed.
Anyway, as I said at the beginning, it would really be good to get the Carnival up and running regularly again. If you would like to host it then get in touch! Similarly, please please please plug the carnival on your blog. The only way we can keep this going is if we work together on it.
Solidarity for now,
The Third Estate.

When I invited women to join me on "31 days of replacing 'baditude' with God's Word and gratitude" almost a year ago, I had no clue.
I had no clue what I was doing.
I hadn't developed the materials. I hadn't written any of the blog posts. I had never been part of an online study. I didn't know about any of the automated tools available for distributing files. I just put out the word and hoped a few women might join me.
I had no clue what God would do.
He knew that I wasn't the only woman who struggles with "baditude". With an inner Anxiety Girl. With perfectionism. With control. With meddling. With fear. With grief.
I had no clue that God would bring me you.
Every time I check Feedburner, I think, "All these women are actually opening and reading my blog posts?" I am astonished...and I rejoice.
Every time I read a comment or e-mail, I think, "She took the time to respond?" I am amazed...and I give thanks.
A year ago, I had no voice.
Oh, I had a cacophony of internal dialogue, much of it unhealthy, some downright toxic. My heart swelled with questions and ideas and thoughts, but the words rarely flowed.
You listened and conversed and challenged until my heart words developed a rhythm. Sometimes steady, sometimes weak, but I feel the beat.
Now, I have Post-It pads and pencils on my night stand, bathroom counter, and quiet time table for the Holy Spirit sparks (ideas) that come throughout the day. (Two in the last five minutes!) My "future blog posts" binder is bursting with hundreds of seedlings waiting to be written to full bloom.
I still have no clue.
When I sat down 20 minutes ago to write this blog post, I thought I was going to tell you all about some upcoming changes and a new challenge.
But clearly, what God wants me to do is say, "Thank you!"
You will never know, this side of heaven, the blessing you are to me. The privilege it is to hit "publish" and know that you are waiting on the other end of the Internet to receive what God is saying to us both.
So from a heart of timid but learning-to-trust love:
Thank you. Thank you! THANK YOU!!!
Thank you. Thank you! THANK YOU!!!
In His Delight,
P.S. Changes:
1. I hope this will be the last blog post I send via Feedburner. You should receive the next one via MailChimp. If you don't get anything by Tuesday, March 12, drop me an e-mail at email@example.com or go to Subscribe to Cheri's Blog to sign up!
2. I am dropping the name "The PURSE-onality Challenge" because everyone who knows anything about marketing tells me it was the worst idea in the history of the world. Everything will come simply from "Cheri Gregory" from now on.
3. I'll be closing my Blogspot blog (www.PURSEonalityChallenge.com) in a few weeks, but not until everything is transferred lock-stock-and-barrel to my new sote. In April, I'll be hosting a HUGE "Welcome to My Website" party with tons of great give-aways...but feel free to come on over to www.CheriGregory.com any time!

No dates or details quite yet, but here's a sneak peak at the video announcement http://youtu.be/xW71YVw0Gbk
Sunday night, March 10th, I'm giving away a copy of Holley Gerth's new book You're Made for a God-Sized Dream. To enter, simply leave a comment here on the blog!

My home is 25 years old and has cedar siding, colonial style. We have stained it several times over the years. Now it needs major redoing. Can we power wash the cedar siding? Some say no, some say yes. Also, what is better or cedar, paint or stain? Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
Here's what my experience has been with cedar. My home is close to 100 years old and the exterior is cedar. However, my home was painted over the course of the 100 years. I have had my home power washed to prep it for re-painting. The key is to get someone who is actually experienced with power washing so the wood does not get gouged or damaged in the process. When exposed un-treated cedar gets wet, it can turn almost black in color and does not lighten up to the original shade(ie: think of that grey-weathered cedar shingle color). Whatever you choose to do, realize that once you paint it, there is no going back later to stain it. Unless you have an unlimited cash pile to afford to pay someone to stip all the paint and prep it for staining, that is. You will also have to prep it to re-stain it if that is your choice. There really is no 'better' option of the two choices, it is a personal esthetic choice as to which look do you prefer. Stain needs upkeep and maintenance as does painted wood due to environmental exposure over time. Perhaps just get a quote from painting contractors on both staining and painting and decide that way. Be sure to get multiple quotes and references as well. Do not decide on only one quote. I just had my home repainted and got 5 quotes. The one I went with was $3k cheaper than the rest. |
agree with above -- my view on cedar is that you have a wood that is more expensive because it is naturally weather resistant. Why put paint on it, which means you have just as much protection as with ordinary wood? Plus, cedar is quite attractive. I would stick with stain unless you really want the painted look. |

Thanks. We have semi-solid stain and I think we will stay with that. We got one quote to do everything - power wash, caulk windows, 2 coats of stain. We have a 2 story colonial with a wrap around porch. The quote was 18,000. That's almost as much as a house I once bought. We will get more quotes. Thanks again. |

Cedar, like any wood, will still age and needs some protection on it. People here used to use the Cabot Bleaching Oil on new cedar shakes to protect them and help them to age naturally. After many years, these shingles still need some maintenance. I prefer to see cedar shakes stained with a semi-transparent stain or even a sem-solid stain because I like the some color on the wood. I still think the first product should be an oil based stain such as Cabot Stain. Once painted, there is no going back to a stain on any wood without a tremendous amount of work. I did see some condominiums recently that had cedar shakes that were allowed to age too far. The contractor cleaned these shakes with concentrated pool bleach and applied 500 gallons of Wolman Dura-Stain Naturaltone Cedar Semi-Tranparent Stain. The job turned out nice and seems to be holding up well. I will be interested in watching the product over the next few years to see how well it holds up on the oceanfront. |
Paint is not as breathable as stain either. Sometimes choosing paint or stain is not just an aesthetic decision. If you have a home with moisture issues, using paint may be a bad choice because the film forming nature of the coating may block water vapor from escaping from behind the siding. If it cannot escape it will go through the paint which means you will have mass peeling and bubbling. This is one of the reasons I generally choose stain for cedar...it just doesn't peel like paint as soon. |
- Posted by jstell2008 (My Page) on Sun, Jun 1, 08 at 19:39
Thanks for the help. After reading everything I think we will stay with stain. It needs redoing every 3 to 5 years, but you're right that it looks better than paint. And, I don't want to paint and hate it and not to be able to go back to stain. Thanks. |

Culture Warrior: The Oscars Still Matter and Why That's A Good Thing
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on February 21, 2012 | Comments (1)For the first time in recent memory, I'm going into Oscar Sunday having no idea who is likely to take home many of the major awards. I'm sure there are entire websites out there devoted to an accurate prediction of who and what will take home the gold on Sunday, but there seems something a bit different about this year. Of the nine films nominated, I don't have a clear sense of what would be the top five had AMPAS not changed the number of entries in the top category. While The Artist may clearly have more of a chance than, say, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, there's no grand battle between likely leads like there was between The King's Speech and The Social Network last year. And I don't think I'm alone in stating that this year's uninspiring list of nominees seems to reflect a growing indifference against the ceremony itself. Sure, on Sunday, like I have every year since I was eleven years old, I'll watch the entire ceremony from beginning to end. And, like every year since I was twenty-one years old, I'll make fun of the pompous and excessive self-congratulatory nature of the proceedings. But while in most years I have had some skin in the game, besides the two nominations afforded to the excellent Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and the presence of the transcendentally excellent Pina in the Best Documentary Feature category, this year I didn't even get a sense that the Academy was awarding […]
The Best Films of 2011: The Editor's Picks
2011 Year In Review By Neil Miller on December 28, 2011 | Comments (16)It has come time once again to move from celebrating the worst, most annoying and most discussed films of the year — something we do at the front of our Year in Review for a reason — and start celebrating those films that have earned places in our hearts, celebrating all the best of 2011, a year that, on the whole, wasn't such a bad year at the movies. And once again I'm honored to present my top picks of the year, as the Publisher of Film School Rejects. It's not a vanity thing, but more of a tradition. Since the site's inception, I've always presented my best of the year as The Editor's Picks. And while I'm honored by this opportunity and enjoy it immensely, if you're anything like me, you're probably waiting with bated breath for what will come later in the week when we release The Staff Picks. Because they are the ones who are really interesting. But until then, you get me and my odd gathering of best films from the year that was.
Year In Review: The Top 11 Trends, Topics, and Debates of 2011
2011 Year In Review By Landon Palmer on December 28, 2011 | Comments (1)Usually I'm quite cynical about end-of-year lists, as they demand a forced encapsulation of an arbitrary block of time that is not yet over into something simplified. I typically find end-of-year lists fun, but rarely useful. But 2011 is different. As Scott Tobias pointed out, while "quiet," this was a surprisingly strong year for interesting and risk-taking films. What's most interesting has been the variety: barely anything has emerged as a leading contender that tops either critics' lists or dominates awards buzz. Quite honestly, at the end of 2010 I struggled to find compelling topics, trends, and events to define the year in cinema. The final days of 2011 brought a quite opposite struggle, for this year's surprising glut of interesting and disparate films spoke to one another in a way that makes it difficult to isolate any of the year's significant works. Arguments in the critical community actually led to insightful points as they addressed essential questions of what it means to be a filmgoer and a cinephile. Mainstream Hollywood machine-work and limited release arthouse fare defied expectations in several directions. New stars arose. Tired Hollywood rituals and ostensibly reliable technologies both met new breaking points. "2011" hangs over this year in cinema, and the interaction between the films – and the events and conversations that surrounded them – makes this year's offerings particular to their time and subject to their context. This is what I took away from this surprising year:
It's the last DVD release week of November, and judging by the stellar releases out today it's fair to say Christmas has come early. There are several titles, big and small, deserving of a purchase or at least a rent, and they're pretty widespread genre-wise too. Some of the week's offerings include Tucker & Dale vs Evil, Our Idiot Brother, Friends with Benefits, 30 Minutes or Less and more. As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. Another Earth The unfortunately named Rhoda (Brit Marling) is a bright high-school graduate with a limitless future, but on the night a new planet is discovered in the night sky above she celebrates a bit too hard and smashes her car into a family of three. A few years later, Rhoda is released from prison and makes an attempt at an apology to the man (William Mapother) she injured and whose wife and child she killed. Communication with the new planet has also revealed that it is a mirror image of our own as far as geography and population, but that different choices there may have given way to different events. Marling co-wrote this intriguing and often mesmerizing sc-fi/drama with director Mike Cahill, and while the logic and explanation behind the science fiction aspects are woefully lacking the drama, character work and "what if?" scenarios are excellent. As she does in the somewhat superior Sound of My Voice Marling brings an ethereal and fragile presence to […]
This Week in Blu-ray: Tucker & Dale, 30 Minutes, Smurfs, Blue Velvet, Chillerama and More
Blu-ray Spotlight By Neil Miller on November 29, 2011 | Be the First To CommentThis Week in Blu-ray we celebrate the post-Black Friday hangover with a very light week. If you didn't buy The Matrix trilogy for $28 dollars today, you should do that. Then move on to more pertinent matters, including the support of great horror comedies that sat on the proverbial shelf far too long, R-rated comedies about bombs and Werner Herzog's journey into the depths of human emossshun, courtesy of really old cave drawings. It's going to be a pretty diverse week, so you might want to keep reading. Tucker & Dale vs. Evil The Pitch: "What are you going to say? I don't know what happened officer, these college kids just showed up and started killing themselves all over my property." Why Buy? A few years back, when this unfortunately shelved genre comedy broke onto the scene in the snowy streets of Park City, Utah, I was one of those critics who was brave enough to name it one of my Must See Movies of Sundance 2010. We would later go on to include it in our list of Must See Movies of SXSW 2010. And it might as well have made our list of Must See Movies of SXSW 2011, as it played there, too. This movie spent more than its share of time in festival circuit hell. And now that it's on Blu-ray, it's time for folks like me to remind you that it's one of the funniest, most clever flicks I've seen in a long while. And if […]
Culture Warrior: Scorsese's 'Hugo' and the Death of Celluloid
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on November 29, 2011 | Comments (3)The self-reflexive practices of the meta-film take various forms. On the one hand, there's the legacy of cinephilic directors from Brian De Palma to P. T. Anderson to Robert Rodriguez who shout out to specific films through their in-crowd referencing, or even go so far as to structure entire narratives through tributes to cinema's past. Then there's "the wink," those film's, like this weekend's The Muppets, who exercise cheeky humor by breaking the fourth wall and by constant reference to the fact that they are in a heavily constructed film reality. The third category is less common, but perhaps the most interesting. There has been a recent influx of films that don't use past films to construct present narratives or engage in Brecht-light humor, but have as their central narrative concern the broad developmental history of the medium itself, from practices of filmgoing to particularities of projection, and anything in between. Bertolucci's The Dreamers is a good example of this mode of meta-filmmaking, but more high-profile films have begin to make this turn, specifically by directors who formerly operated in the first (and perhaps most common) category, like Tarantino with Inglourious Basterds two years ago. Now Martin Scorsese has followed suit with the 3D love letter to early cinema and film preservation that is Hugo.
Review: Werner Herzog's 'Into the Abyss' Explores Living With Death
Movie Reviews By Landon Palmer on November 18, 2011 | Be the First To CommentThe supplementary title for Werner Herzog's new documentary about capital punishment is "A Tale of Death, A Tale of Life." These clauses are placed in a perplexing order that seems, at first, to run in reverse. However, when viewing the film, it becomes abundantly clear why life is not necessarily a linear trajectory that ends in death, with all the mutual exclusivity implied in the assumed separation of these categories. Instead, Into the Abyss argues that death is something one perpetually lives with, especially the certain knowledge of impending death in the case of state-run execution or in the memory of death when one's loved one has been murdered. The certainty and harsh reality of death not only plagues the prisoner and the victim's kin, but also profoundly effects a large array of individuals involved directly or indirectly with every heinous crime and execution. The timing of the release of Into the Abyss is worth noting. In September, Troy Davis was executed in the face of massive public protest and significant lingering doubts as to the fairness of his trial. Many anti-death penalty advocates saw the case as a potentially fatal blow for state-run execution, as it illuminated flaws within the system which in turn troubled capital punishment's logic of justice. A mere two months later, the Troy Davis case has been almost completely forgotten in the public sphere as the news cycle has turned its lenses to Occupy movements and the ongoing reality show known as GOP debates.

Fire management in Colorado is an interagency partnership among federal, state and local entities across the nation.
A catalog of current federal, state, and private foundation funding sources can be found here: www.rockymountainwildlandfire.info This catalog offers information for communities, fire departments, and counties on financial and technical assistance to support fire and wildland health projects.
Challenges and risks associated with wildland fire management are increasing both in complexity and extent. As people move in or adjacent to wildlands, fire managers are faced with the challenging task of protecting lives and property while ensuring firefighter safety and doing what is best for the land. The wildland urban interface, or WUI, is defined as areas where structures or other industrial/residential developments meet or intermingle with undeveloped wild areas, and may be susceptible to forest or rangeland fires.
The BLM continues to work with its interagency partners to organize and train regional fire prevention teams to respond rapidly to WUI fires in order to prepare residents, and to minimize the loss and distress associated with WUI fires. The BLM also works with other federal, state, and local land management agencies, including the Western Governors Association , the National Association of State Foresters , and many others to identify communities across the country that face wildfire risks.
BLM Colorado has worked closely with numerous groups and institutions throughout the state to produce various educational products such as videos, brochures and a range of workshops and informational meetings regarding wildland fire. These products highlight existing and proposed activities that focus on mitigating wildfire risks to individual homeowners, businesses and communities.
Through the on-going work of the BLM's Fire Mitigation and Educations Specialists, each fire management unit in Colorado creates and fosters excellent working relationships with local government officials, as well as their associated fire and law enforcement officials. These local programs are customized to fit the unique and diverse communities that abound within Colorado.

PROVIDENCE — A Providence company that the government says engaged in immigration-related unfair employment practices has voluntarily agreed to take steps to ensure such practices don't occur going forward, the Justice Department announced Tuesday.
A federal investigation into the company, Vincent Porcaro Inc., found that VPI required noncitizens to present immigration documents proving their immigration status and work authorization — documents that it did not request of U.S. citizens, the Justice Department said.
Such practices violate the anti-discrimination provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which "prohibits employers from discriminating against noncitizens in the employment eligibility verification process by demanding more or different documents than U.S. citizens are required to present."
Company president Vincent Porcaro declined comment Tuesday when reached by phone.
The Justice Department's Office of Special Counsel opened its investigation on Feb. 13, and covers the period between Oct. 1, 2012, and Feb. 26, 2013. The settlement agreement between the company and the Justice Department was signed this week.
VPI, whose home office is at 1055 Westminster St., provides warehousing, distribution, light assembly and packaging for regional, national and international companies, its website states.
According to state corporation records, VPI maintains Applause Labor Leasing, a temporary employment agency, at that Westminster Street location. An Applause Labor Leasing sign is posted on the building's exterior.
Under the settlement agreement, VPI will train its human resources personnel on the INA's anti-discrimination provision; pay $43,092 in civil penalties to the U.S. Treasury Department; create a $30,000 back-pay fund to compensate individuals who suffered economic damages — "including suspension, termination, or other periods of lost work" — as a result of the company's employment eligibility verification practices.
The company also agreed to contact all potentially affected workers through a letter that states that such workers may be entitled to compensation "if you were denied employment, delayed a job, suspended or terminated because you were unable to provide VPA with an immigration document proving your immigration status."
VPI agreed "that it will not intimidate, threaten, coerce or retaliate against any person for his or her participation in this matter …" And, it agreed to treat "all individuals equally, without regard to citizenship or immigration status, or national origin, during the hiring, firing, and employment eligibility verification and re-verification process."
The company will also be subject to Justice Department monitoring for two years.
"Employers who create or change their employment eligibility verification policies and practices have an obligation to ensure that those changes are consistent with the anti-discrimination provision of the INA," said Gregory Friel, deputy assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division. "The division is committed to identifying and addressing employer policies and practices that do not satisfy that obligation."
The investigation was based on a referral from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the Justice Department said.

In the movie "Warrior", set for release sometime in 2011, Lutz plays a lacrosse player whose life spirals out of control after his father dies.
"Ashley's friggin' talented. It's really cool to see your friend [in a different way] and to work with a friend, let alone her being so talented, to see her transform from one character to another," he raved of Greene, who plays a girl named Brooklyn. "Alice is a fun little pixie character, and then Brooklyn, you know, is a sweet, lacrosse-player type of coach's daughter. It's fun working with her and seeing her transform herself."
Despite their on-screen romance in "Warrior," Lutz said that in real life he and Ashley are like brother and sister. "It's very much like working with family," he explained.
In late 2008, Greene spoke to MTV News about the project. "['Warrior'] is about Kellan's journey," she said. "It's very much Kellan's movie, which is really exciting for him. It's his journey that he goes through, with trials and errors, and his temper and stuff like that. And I join forces with him, and my dad doesn't like that very much, so we deal with that.

Ico Design - Single Work. Rebranding an airport is no easy task.
Following the approval of a major development at LLA, we were approached to create a brand that would redefine the airport in the London market and inform its future direction as a passenger-focused airport. Working closely with the key stakeholders led to four core values that will inform all aspects of the brand. These are expressed in the simplicity and dynamism of the new visual identity which is a clear statement of intent of the airport's bold ambition for the future.
The identity includes a specially commissioned typeface and icon set designed by Atipo. We continue to work as brand and design partners. 18 Of Canada's Best Logos. The Swiss get a lot of credit for their graphic design.
And New York gave the design world the likes of Saul Bass, Paul Rand, and Milton Glaser, to name just a few. But Canada's legions of graphic designers seem to go somewhat uncelebrated, which is a shame: A scroll through this new online register of the country's logos reveals that our northern neighbors have long had a capacity for tasteful and minimal branding. The Northern Army Preservation Society of Canada, as it's called, is an online dossier of Canada's best logos, curated by Ottawa-based design studio Northern Army. Rene Antunes, cofounder of Northern Army, says it started as a personal pet project: "We wanted to collect the logos we grew up with and are still inspired by in one place," he says.
The "preservation" part refers to what Antunes calls the "retro and vintage slant to many of these logos," since many have been outmoded and replaced by design updates. Medium Brand Development on Behance. Branding Mozilla's New Mobile OS By Setting The Firefox Free. No matter where your allegiance in the browser wars lies, you have to admit that the House of Firefox flies the best banner.
The browser's logo--a vibrant orange fox curled up around a blue globe--is playful and peppy and instantly recognizable. It's a mark with personality, certainly more so than Safari's cartoony compass or Chrome's colorful whatsit, and it's probably the only icon on your desktop that could lend itself to a Halloween costume. So when Wolff Olins was tapped by Mozilla to develop a brand for the company's latest initiative--the recently debuted Firefox mobile operating system--the direction, in some ways, was clear: Let the fox stretch its legs a bit.
According to Mary Ellen Muckerman, head of strategy at Wolff Olins, the Firefox logo boasts nearly 90% awareness in markets worldwide. About this project « A Brand for London. London is having an identity crisis.

After winning a competitive pitch, Channel 4 commissioned ManvsMachine to create a new brand identity and on-air look for More4.
The package aligns with a re-focussed range of content on the channel. The re-brand is centred round a bold, flexible logo that morphs through a series of flips, folds and reveals. The colour palette reflects the vibrant nature of interiors, food culture, fashion and other contemporary lifestyle programming. More4. D-zign & Foto.
Authenticity Is King Because Branding Bores Everyone. Today, any brand has a potential army of credible, unpaid spokespeople that are willing to work on its behalf.
And this army is the exact same group of people who are willing to work against it. This is the new world of what I call the "post-positioning era" of branding. In the post-positioning era of branding, what you say about your product or service matters almost nothing at all, and what I, the consumer, can do with it matters completely. The new conditions of brand success: 1.
13 Branded Apps That Got it Right. Creating a branded app seems like an obvious move towards engaging potential customers.
But even though 70 percent of respondents in a October 01, 2010 Creating a branded app seems like an obvious move towards engaging potential customers. But even though 70 percent of respondents in a 2009 survey said that they downloaded branded apps, it's often unclear how effective those apps really are at driving purchases. And there's always a fear that too few people will download the app to make it worth this risk. Blog Archive » Wikipedia in 3D. (Update: We've received a lot of feedback about how the new Wikipedia identity functions in different browsers, and we're working on some minor improvements over the next few days.
We've captured much of the feedback below, and now encourage users to visit this thread on Wikimedia Commons where you can further comment on a revised version, currently being tested on our prototype Wikipedia. Thanks!) Later today you'll be reading about one of the first major changes to Wikipedia's user interface. A significant part of that change is a minor, but noticeable refinement to one of the most-recognized logos on the internet: the Wikipedia puzzle globe. Our puzzle globe has an amazing story, and its creation and localization across more than 250 distinct language versions of Wikipedia is a collaborative design achievement.
Boring Green Logo Redesigns Are a Color Cliche « Merriam Associates, Inc. Brand Strategies. Green–it's the new blue.
As an overused boring corporate color, blue is losing ground to green. Corporations everywhere have been jumping on the "green" bandwagon, whether they are hotels that wash towels less frequently, moving companies that reuse boxes, or retailers that recycle plastic bags. The green washing trend is even spreading corporate logos. Companies with once distinctive and exciting brand marks are trading them in for boring green ones.

Shortly before Christmas, I had an email from a chap called Steven Garrity, who works for Silverorange, and runs a blog called 'Acts of Volition', in which he publishes a radio show on regular basis. (really worth a listen BTW).
He asked if I would like to join a recently created Mozilla branding team, with the immediate aim of producing a new logo identity for the Firebird browser, soon to be renamed firefox (Ben Goodger has written up the reasons and process for the name change). The branding team came into being after Steven wrote an article recommending changes to Mozilla's existing branding. I jumped at the chance, and today Firefox 0.8 is finally released, and the work is no longer confidential. Over Christmas (thanks Steven!) City of Melbourne on the Behance Network. Creating a Corporate Identity: Virgin`s Branding Strategy. Have Their Story be Your Story. Recently I came across this short but interesting article: What Does Storytelling Have to Do with Business?.
The idea of storytelling as it applies to business isn't about spinning a yarn or fairytale. Rather, it's about how your business (or its products or services) exist in the real world: how people use your products—how they add value to people's lives, ease their troubles, help shoulder their burdens, and meet their needs.

Nation Branding » Australia launches new 'Brand Australia' concept. First of all, let's do some recap. On July 2009 we reported that several relevant voices in the Australian business space were demanding a Brand Australia Council to refresh the country's international image and extend the already positive image Australia had on tourist aspects to the other dimensions of the country's nation brand.
On September 2009, we reported that the Australian government was planning to launch a new 'Brand Australia' strategy and was allocating $20 million to deliver a new international "brand" for the country, and that a tender for competing agencies had also been announced. According to Austrade figures, 60 submissions were received and four agencies were shortlisted. Eight concepts were tested in 14 countries, including Australia, with about 1000 consumer interviews in each country. New Microsoft brand logos, company tagline revealed at MGX event? (update: no new logos, tagline is a go) It looks like Microsoft may have revealed something big at its annual MGX (Microsoft Global Exchange) event, namely... new logos for its main brands and a fresh brand motto.
"Be What's Next" touts a teaser which has been posted on YouTube, along with a fast moving sequence of morphing logos, shuffling from Windows, to Windows Phone, Xbox, Bing, and finally the familiar Office logo that's been kicking around for a little longer. It's unclear if these are just treatments used for a promo at the event, or if this is a signal that Redmond is dumping its familiar (and frankly dated) iconography for something a little looser, leaner, and hipper, but we can't say it would be a bad thing.
It would certainly make sense against a backdrop of potential comeback in the mobile space, gains in search, and the seemingly successful (or at least satisfying) Windows 7 launch.

How does one enter the master bath from the master bedroom? A door or framed opening must have been omitted. |
Yes that was an oversight and has been added! |
Simple and comfortable. My one concern would be the lack of a tub in the master bath (and no possibility of adding one in this space). Even if you don't care about it, it could be a sticking point for a future buyer. |

This is one of the most straight-forward plans I've seen in a new build in a long time: I like it. So often, they are labyrintine in complexity. What about completely flipping the WIC and Master Bath to put all the plumbing in the wall between the shower/toilet and laundry area? There may be some reason with the windows that this doesn't work, but that is something I would think about. |

Hi, everyone. It's Caitlin otherwise known as Glenn 16 and today I'm gonna be sharing with you guys how to accomplish (Tylie Jenard?) mails and I will insert the photo here. She instagram and I thought it was so cute as really easy to accomplish yourself instead of going to, you know get it done. It's not too very difficult. So this is my super tation of it and I kinda went with the fuschia-pink instead of like the blood orange color, but she had left. You could totally any colors that you want. I know you this silver like she did as kind of the triangle parts of the nails. But I thought it was super cute and easy to do. So hope you guys are excited and let's get in to it. The base color I'm going to use is the fuschia-pink, but feel free to use a red or an orange or any color that you want. I'm gonna paint one layer all over my nails and then going with the second coat once it has dried a little bit. I'm going to use a thin brush from a different nail polish to paint the silver triangles on my nail side giving it in to a silver polish and this is just going to make it easier. So I'm going to begin by drawing a line from the edge of my cuticle in to the center of my nail and making a triangle and start filling that it and that's basically all you have to do. And once all the nails are done. I'm just gonna dot it on the other hand and we'r all done as it look. Thank you guys so much for watching. I hope you enjoyed this nail tutorial and try it out to yourself. Don't forget to come back here and watch more beauty videos. But I hope to see you guys soon. Bye.

Avant is coming off a good year. The Embassy Suites is exceeding expectations and is expanding by one floor, the building's office space is nearly full after signing a second anchor tenant, and three recent purchases bring the residential portion of the property over 2/3 sold.
Just eight of 27 luxury condos are available in the building.
"We've had great success with our condominium sales and are right on track with our projections for the remaining eight units," said Michael J. Montante, Uniland Development Company Vice President. "Folks who 'get' the concept of life in a mixed-use building are now addicted to the Avant lifestyle."
Available residences range in size from a one-bedroom, 1,355 sq.ft. unit on the fourteenth floor priced at $465,000 to a two-level unit with three-bedrooms and 3,318 sq.ft. of living space on the 16th floor priced at $1.4 million.
Fifteen buyers have closed on their units and moved into the building. Sales prices have ranged from $383,250 to $1.45 million. Three of the sales to date have been over $1 million.
Every unit in the building has at least one balcony. Ceiling heights are 10′ on the 14th and 15th floors and up to 18′ on the 16th floor. Units feature high-end finishes, in-unit laundries, large walk-in closets, gourmet kitchens, and same-floor storage areas. Each unit has two dedicated parking spots in the building's underground parking garage. The waterfront and/or cityscape views are spectacular. On clear days, units on the north side of the building can see the Toronto skyline on the horizon.
Attention to detail carries into the building's common areas. From the private residential lobby, wide hallways, two private elevators for residents, and soothing décor, the building brings city living to a new level.
"I moved into the Avant late last summer and I enjoy living here more each day, especially during this cold, snowy winter," says Marilynn P. Fleckenstein, Ph.D., Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs Professor of Philosophy at Niagara University. "Where else could I exercise, visit the hair salon, take my 18 month old grandson swimming and have dinner with friends in a fabulous restaurant all without leaving the building?"
"I appreciate the safety of the building where helpful security personnel are available 24 hours a day," says Fleckenstein. "I travel frequently on business and appreciate being able to leave my car in the garage and take advantage of the airport shuttle run by the Embassy Suites. Additionally, I can walk to the theater district, the Convention Center and easily access the Metrorail to go to HSBC Arena. The lifestyle is certainly different from the suburban one I left behind."
Residents have access to the Embassy Suites' pool and fitness center (right), room service, valet parking, housekeeping and catering services. In addition, each floor of the residential portion has a different amenity for owners. A conference room is located on the 14th floor. A fitness room is located on the 15th floor featuring weights and cardio machines offering views of City Hall and Lake Erie. Resients may reserve a solarium/party room with a fireplace and full kitchen located on the 16th floor.
The Embassy Suites' facilities including the pool and fitness center are also available to residents. The hotel's dining facilities and Capello Salon are just an elevator ride away.
"On a recent tour, a gentleman remarked that the whole building with all the amenities, spectacular views and incomparable finishes made him feel as if he were looking at the best condos in New York City," said Ellen Warner, Residential Sales Manager. "Then he added that he was so glad Avant is in Buffalo because it shows just how forward thinking people in Buffalo can be."
Elsewhere in the building, the expansion of the Embassy Suites is nearing completion. Due to the hotel's success, the eighth floor of the building once reserved for additional offices has been converted into additional hotel rooms.
"We are putting the finishing touches on the additional 29 rooms to be made available at the end of the month," said Montante. "There will also be several higher-end suites available that we know our guests will be clamoring for so make reservations early."
In January, law firm Jaeckle Fleischmann & Mugel, LLP announced it is relocating from Fountain Plaza into 33,000 sq.ft. of space on the 9th and 10th floors of Avant. The signing of a second anchor tenant nearly fills the office space in the building.
"Regarding office space at Avant, we are proud to report that we have approximately 4,000 square feet left to lease and our construction team is busy making sure our newest addition to Avant, Jaeckle Fleischmann & Mugel feels right at home as their move in date gets closer," says Montante.
Uniland is proud of Avant and thanks Buffalo Rising's readers for the near universal praise for the building's transformation from drab federal building to Buffalo's first true mixed-use complex.
"Buffalo Rising's audience has shown such a great deal of interest over the years in Avant and what a unique living experience is offered at what we feel is Buffalo's most prestigious address," add Montante. "The support for the project has been overwhelming."

Legal Services
If you or a family member has suffered as a result of acquiring an infection in a hospital, you may be able to make a medical negligence compensation claim.
MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) and C Difficile (Clostridum Difficile or C-Diff) are often referred to as superbugs because they are highly resistant to the antibiotics which are used to treat infections. Patients who contract these infections are at high risk of suffering long term health problems or even death.
Other infectious 'superbugs' include:
Outbreaks of these types of infections have been attributed to low standards of hygiene in hospitals and among hospital staff.
Many people contract infections whilst being treated in hospital and they are often preventable by hospital staff following the correct procedures for hygiene and cleanliness. These include:
Strict rules now exist in hospitals to try and minimise incidences of superbugs such as MRSA and C Diff. If these rules are not followed and you contract an infection due to the hospital staff's negligence or a problem with the hospital's procedures, you could be entitled to make a claim for compensation.
Your hospital does not have the right to refuse to treat you simply because you have brought a claim against them, although in practice you may feel more comfortable in seeking an alternative health care provider.
At a hospital this may mean asking to be treated by a different doctor or being referred elsewhere.
The value of your claim will depend on a number of factors including:
You can claim compensation for the following things if they are a result of your injury:
Contact us to speak to one of our specialist lawyers in total confidence and they will discuss the details of your claim.
