How to paper a ceiling
Welcome to our guide to decorating a ceiling.
In this section we will take you through the process of decorating a ceiling, the step-by-step instructions can be applied to hanging both lining paper and the top covering.
First we look at how to work out how many rolls you will need for your project, we then go onto preparing the ceiling and then cutting and hanging the ceiling covering.
Please note: We will accept no responsibility for any damage or injury as a result of following this guide.
For further information please see our disclaimer, a link to which can be found at the bottom of this page.
To complete this task you will need:
Ceiling Covering
Lining Paper
Appropriate Paste
Stanley Knife (trimming knife)
Pair of suitable Scissors
Tape Measure
Paste Brush
2 Trestle tables (or step ladders) and two scaffold boards
Paperhanging brush
Decorating table (pasting table)
1 Bucket for the Paste
1 Bucket of Clean Water
Wooden Stick (to mix the paste)
Wallpaper Seam Roller
Soft nib Pencil
Broad knife Trimming Tool
When working at heights, always ensure that the structure is safe and secure.
Never stretch out, always get down and re-position the scaffold or trestle.
A note about lining paper
The extra effort of using lining paper can help to achieve a better finish, especially if the ceiling has imperfections that may protrude underneath the final covering.
Lining paper needs to be hung at a 90° angle (perpendicular) to the final covering paper, this stops the edges of both papers lining up and protruding, it also reduces the risk of the final covering upseating the first.
Roll calculation
First, we need to decide how many rolls of paper we need.
Take your tape measure and measure the run of the room, in this case the length of the room, and add 10cm (100mm) onto this measurement. Now, measure the width of the room (remember to take into account any alcoves you may have).
Next, note the width and length of the lining paper, these measurements are usually stated on the packaging.
Divide the roll length by the run length, to give the number of lengths per roll --call this
Divide the width of the room by the roll width, to give the number of lengths required --call this
to give the number of rolls required, it is better to go slightly over than under.
Using the measurements of the example room to the right we will work out how many rolls of paper are needed.
We are hanging lining paper in our example, so we are running it along the length of the room. The reason is so when we hang the top covering at 90°, it will be running from the window eliminating shadows along the joins.
For example purposes we will presume that our rolls of paper have the following dimensions:
Roll Length: 10m
Roll Width: 50cm (500mm)
and the room has the following dimensions:
Room Length = 4.5m + 10cm (100mm) waste = 4.6m run length
Room Width = 3.5m
So our calculation is:
Divide 10m (roll length) by 4.6m (run length) = 2.1 runs to a roll (approx, it is always best to allow a bit).
Divide 3.5m (room width) by 0.5 (roll width) = 7 pieces (runs) are needed.
Divide 7 by 2.1 = 3.5 rolls.
So we need 3.5 rolls (4 rolls).
Preparing the ceiling for application
First, make sure your trestles and boards are set at the right height and are safe and secure.
In fig 2.0 on the right we see the one side of a trestle setup. The ideal height means that you can stand on the board and put the palm of your hand against the ceiling with your arm slightly bent. Always confirm that the structure is safe and secure.
If the ceiling has an old covering then remove it, make sure you get rid of every piece (pay close attention to light fittings, paper tends to get caught underneath).
Wash down the ceiling with sugar soap (or similar) to remove any grease, check for loose plaster and replace where necessary.
Remove any loose paint and fill any holes or cracks in the ceiling. If the plaster has a gloss finish then sand it down with a suitably abrasive sandpaper (glasspaper).
Marking-out and measuring the lengths
It is best to get a guideline marked on the ceiling which can guide you when you hang your first piece.
To achieve this, decide which end of the room you are going to start hanging the paper, take your tape measure and measure the width of the paper (or see the packaging), then deduct 1cm (10mm/0.4in) and mark this distance out from the wall at each end of the run. See fig 3.0 for an example.
You can then take a chalk line and chalk a line between the 2 marks. If you don't have a chalk line then you can place marks at intervals to guide you when you hang the paper.
Next, it's time to mix the paste, paste normally takes around 15-20 minutes to develop the right consistency. If we mix the paste now, then it should be ready by the time we are ready to use it, although
always follow the manufacturer's time guidelines
if this is the first time you have hung wallpaper or lining paper, leave the task of mixing the paste until you have cut and prepared the paper.
Cutting the paper into lengths
The next task is to cut the paper, measure the lengths of paper (remembering to add 10cm (100mm/4in) extra) and cut as many runs as you need.
If you are using patterned paper, check the manufacturer's instructions for any special pattern matching information.
When you have cut each run, check the time to make sure you have allowed sufficient time for the paste to be the right consistency. Lay the runs onto the table with the face of the paper down, you will probably find it helpful if you have some clips to clamp the paper to the table while you work.
When you paste, work the brush from the middle of the paper out towards the edges (see fig 4.0).
When you have completed the section on the pasting table, pull the unpasted section up onto the table. To make the paper easier to work with, fold the pasted section in a concertina effect (
never crease along the fold
) as you are pulling the dry section onto the table, this also makes things a lot easier when you come to hang it!
Now, leave the paper to soak (see manufacturer's instructions).
Hanging the paper
Now we can hang the first piece, you will need your scissors, craft knife (Stanley knife) and wallpapering brush (to smooth the paper).
It is important to get the first piece in position pefectly, as this piece will dictate the position of the rest of the runs.
Unfold the paper to a comfortable size to work with, starting at the end furthest from the window (if it is the top covering) or the opoosite end to the window (if it is lining paper). Place the paper against the ceiling in line with the guide marks you made earlier, allow around 5cm (50mm/2in) overhang at the end.
Now, slowly moving along the plank, smooth and align the paper as you unfold it, making sure you remove all the trapped air with your wallpapering brush as you go.
If you are going to paper the walls next then when you reach the other end of the room leave around an 8mm overhang. If you are not papering the walls, then run a pencil along the edge, then pull the paper back enough for you to trim it to the pencil line, now smooth out the paper with your wallpapering brush. Repeat at each end.
Now repeat the process with another section, this time butt it against the first piece, the first piece will now be your guide line. If you are hanging patterned wallpaper then ensure the pattern is matched correctly (see manufacturer's instructions).
Now hang the remaining lengths, the last piece you hang will probably be narrower than the width of the roll. In this case, measure how wide you need the piece and add on 5cm (50mm/2in), then cut a run to that width measurement. Paste it and hang it, butting up to the last piece you hung, then simply trim the piece using a pencil and scissors.
After the paper has dried slightly, go along the edges with your seam roller to smooth them down. If you are hanging an embossed covering, try using a clean, dry paint roller instead, as this will not flatten the paper as much.
When you have smoothed all the edges, take a damp sponge and lightly clean the paper to remove any excess paste at the joins.
If you have followed this guide to hang the lining paper, then to hang your top covering simply follow the instructions through again, but this time start with the run going away from the window. Allow 24 hours for the lining paper to dry.

"What helps luck is a habit of watching for opportunities, of having a patient but restless mind, of sacrificing one's ease or vanity, or uniting a love of detail to foresight, and of passing through hard times bravely and cheerfully." – Victor Cherbuliez
So much of daily human thought is dedicated to thinking about and planning for the future, yet there's very little discussion in popular culture on how to better understand and improve the process. Great foresight is a distinguishing quality in almost any successful businessperson, leader and artist. The ability to engage in and shape future events is a very powerful thing.
This blog intends to explore the role of foresight in our lives, to identify the use of foresight in our culture and to share a method we've developed to improve foresight.
Some of our entries will be observational, tying in current events with our understanding of foresight; some will be nuggets of insight we've gleaned from great thinkers. Please check out recent entries below, organized by topic.

I need to add a new 220 volt 40 amp circuit and receptacle to my garage. My panel is listed as being max of 225 amps. I have check with Oncor (power distribution company here in Dallas), and I have 200 amp / 240 volt service. The main disconnect is a dual 60 amp breaker. It is outlined in the picture below. Does this mean I have 120 amp service? If so can I replace the 60 amp dual breaker with a 100 dual breaker to increase my service to 200 amps?
TIA, Shay |

NO. DO NOT replace that breaker with a larger one without having an electrician check out your panel. You have a 200A service. You panel is what is called a split-buss panel. ALL the breakers in the top section are main breakers. You are allowed up to six main breakers. That 60A is the "lighting main". Split-buss panels are no longer made. That is also a Zinsco panel. They are notorious for failures and burning up busses (as in the metal rails carrying power to the breakers). Your best bet would be to have someone replace that panel with a new 200A main breaker panel. |
- Posted by ronnatalie (My Page) on Sun, Aug 29, 10 at 8:56
Gosh, I remember replacing that blasted Zinsco panel in my own house. Even finding the big amperage beakers will probably be pricey. It certainly was annoying with those breakers fail (no fire in my case but the circuits with fritz off). As Petey points out (and I'll just clarify) the top section breakers are not controlled by the 60A. This is how you can get 200A with the 60A "lighting main" below. There's a special dispensation for service disconnects (hokie) that allows this provided all the power in the house can be killed by moving only six handles. In your case (as near as I can see), you've got four tied-together breakers above the lighting main and the main for five. You could put another big circuit on the top section but frankly if I was going to add anything, I'd think about replacing the whole thing with something that's modern. Getting new Zinsco breakers is getting pricey these days anyhow. |
Thank you for the advice. I have read about split bus panels. Any idea what a ballpark figure for a panel replacement would be? |

European services output shrank less than initially estimated in January, adding to signs the currency bloc's economy may be beginning to emerge from a recession.
An index based on a survey of purchasing managers in the services industry rose to 48.6 from 47.8 in December, London- based Markit Economics said in a report today. That's above an initial estimate of 48.3 published on Jan. 24. A reading below 50 indicates contraction. The gauge has been below that mark for 12 months.
The 17-nation currency bloc's economy will stagnate in the first three months of this year after contracting for a third successive quarter at the end of 2012, according to the median of 26 economists' forecasts in a Bloomberg News survey. Economic confidence in January rose to the highest since June.
"The euro zone is showing clear signs of healing, with the downturn easing sharply in January and the region moving closer to stabilization in the first quarter," Chris Williamson, chief economist at Markit, said in today's report.
The euro extended gains against the dollar after today's report was released, trading at $1.3540 at 10:15 a.m. in Brussels, up 0.2 percent on the day.
'Darkest Clouds'
A composite gauge of euro-area services and manufacturing output improved to 48.6 from 47.2 in December, today's report showed. Markit's index of manufacturing output, released on Feb. 1, climbed to 47.9 from 46.1.
European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said on Jan. 22 that the worst of the debt crisis may be over and the "darkest clouds" have lifted thanks to decisive policy steps last year.
Still, euro-area unemployment of 11.7 percent and continued austerity measures by governments across the euro area may undermine consumer sentiment and spending.
Hannover Re (HNR1), the world's fourth-biggest reinsurer, said yesterday that it expects earnings to remain little changed this year as tougher competition weighs on growth rates.

Event Name
- OR - Select an option belowCentral Bistro & Bar, which opened in July 2012 in LoHi, was conceived as a "gathering place" rather than a destination restaurant, but since this is one of the town's hottest restaurant neighborhoods, the kitchen can get away with serving white-tablecloth-worthy fare in such a casual way that you don't hesitate to order it while sipping a cocktail and dishing about the day. The menu is deceptively simple; descriptions include a string of simple ingredients that don't begin to hint at the time or technique involved in preparing each dish – or how delightful those dishes can be. Comfort food doesn't have to be simple (like macaroni and cheese or pizza) to make us feel good, this menu seems to be saying; it just has to taste good. Now if owner Isiah Salazar could just turn down the "hot" sign over the bar, a reminder of the days when his family owned the nearby (and now defunct) Regency Hotel.

The glimmer of the limes, sun-heavy, sleeping, Goes trembling past me up the College wall. Below, the lawn, in soft blue shade is keeping The diasy-froth quiescent, softly in thrall. .............................. Beyond the leaves that overhang the street, Along the flagged, clean pavement summer-white, Passes the world with shadows at their feet Going left and right. ............................. Romoste,...
My great love of nature, animals and ever changing seasons is what first brought me to art at a very young age. I have done a great many things throughout my life, but the one constant has always remained; the love of art and of creating. By nature I'm very introverted, emotional and sensitive, although most would not see this unless they looked at my art, and many have referred to me as being "the romantic artist". I'm unsure whether I agree with the assessment, but my emotional sensitivity is very much in tune with my creativity. I would go so far as to say I am in tune with the world around me on sometimes a very raw level. I have studied with some brilliant artists in the world as well as taken private art classes on a regular...

I just got back from a meeting about skin care products and their ingredients. One thing I noticed was the widespread anxiety among the audience regarding mineral oil.
That's when I realized there were so many myths surrounding the use of mineral oil and that were shared alike by some skin care experts.
For the record, mineral oil is a colorless, odorless and tasteless substance derived from petroleum. It is also distilled from silicones like dimethicone and cyclomethicone.
Here are some popular myths:
Myth: Mineral oil clogs skin pores and cause acne!
Yeah… Pure mineral oil does promote further breakouts in acneic skin. But that doesn't mean all anti-acne skin care products that contain a bit of mineral oil have the same effects. Industrial grade mineral oil can be comedogenic but cosmetic ones are not!
Myth: Mineral oil is occlusive
Mineral oil remains on the skin surface… true. But it neither stops the skin from breathing nor does it hinder the penetration of active ingredients within the skin. In fact, mineral oil acts as an excellent emollient cleanser as it demulsifies dirt and excess oil in the skin pores.
Myth: Mineral oil makes the skin dry
In contrast to popular belief that mineral oil dries the skin, it in fact stays on the surface and prevents moisture loss. Because its viscose in nature, it traps the moisture within the skin and lends more moisture.
Myth: Mineral oil can cause cancer
Mineral oil used in skin care products is quite different from what is used in industries. Also, the cosmetic oils have no record of being carcinogenic and stand the test of time.
Myth: Mineral oil is not natural
Mineral oil is derived from petroleum. And petroleum is as natural as essential oils or any other oils that come form the Earth. The misconception of mineral oil not being a natural product springs from the fact that it is further refined to become a usable product. But it is as safe to use as can be! Think about the use of vegetable oil in cars these days.
There you are! If you have any other myths or misconception regarding mineral oil, share them with me…
I'd like to hear from you…

Chapter Eleven: Utter Shock
John walked back up the stairs and to his suite in a hurried fashion because he did not wish to speak to his parents at the moment. They would be freaking out in their suite about the news that Artemis was pregnant. During the Wolf moon and during the heat of a female werewolf was when they were most likely to get pregnant. Her heat and the wolf moon coincided, so it was almost impossible not to get pregnant (unless, of course, he had used protection). John was also surprised that his mother hadn't picked up on the small difference in scent; her nose was generally very good. It must be that since Artemis and his mother had never met before her scent would smell unfamiliar anyways.
He opened the door to his suite and saw Artemis at the far end in the kitchen area preparing two sandwiches. The click of the closing door made her look up from her work briefly but she continued on when she saw that it was just him. Putting the two sandwiches on separate plates, and then pouring glasses of milk; Artemis began to set the table to eat lunch.
"Do you want to eat on the sofa and watch a movie?" John asked her sweetly.
"Well, we can. I have just always eaten at a table because I like things to be neat and orderly." Artemis replied to him. He smiled at her answer; he was learning more and more about her everyday.
"We can eat at the table if you want, but it would be more fun to sit on the couch and relax." He said with a warm smile.
"Alrighty then." She replied. Artemis insisted on pouring the glasses of milk into coffee mugs with lids on top so that they wouldn't spill all over the beautiful silver fabric of the couch. She also transferred the sandwiches to paper plates rather than glass ones because she did not want them to break. John let out a laugh at how careful she was being with everything.
"You know, you don't have to go through all that trouble. If something breaks or spills the maids would just come and clean it up." He said with a chuckle.
"I would feel terrible though. My mother was always working after my father died to get away from the grief of the loss, and so when she would come home at night she would make a mess. I always wanted her to feel happy and safe so I would clean up after her all the time which would also rid her of the stress of housework. Being safe like this and being tidy is just a habit." Artemis replied and ended with a sigh.
"Whatever happened to your father?" John asked with a twinge of sadness.
"He passed away in battle when I was five. I can barely remember him, but I hold the tiny memory slivers of him dear to me. His face and eyes and big bear hugs stick out in my memory." She said in a light whisper.
"Do you remember what battle he died in and what he was doing?" John asked. He wanted to know more and maybe find out his name so that he could get a statue made in her father's honor.
"The battle of Alkina. He saw a rogue wolf go after the king and jumped in front of the attack. The wolf ended up landing on his neck, breaking it, but his confusion gave the king enough time to escape." She said as she tried to suppress her tears.
"The king…you mean my father?" John said quietly. It was more of a statement than a question.
"Yes." Artemis replied in a voice so soft it was barely audible.
"What was his name?" John asked. He didn't want her to start crying, but he wanted to know desperately.

HD Tune Pro
Version and / or Patch Used: 4.00
Developer Homepage: http://www.efdsoftware.com
Product Homepage: http://www.hdtune.com
HD Tune is a Hard Disk utility which has the following functions:
Benchmark: measures the performance
Info: shows detailed information
Health: checks the health status by using SMART
Error Scan: scans the surface for errors
Temperature display
HD Tune Pro gives us accurate read, write and access time results and for the last couple of years has been gaining popularity amongst reviewers. It is now considered a must have application for storage device testing.
The sequential read speed across the drive was comparable to the Vertex 2 120GB, so even though the ATTO results were low, the AS602 can read data very quickly.
The write speeds across the drive were also very fast and on par with the Vertex 2. The TurboII-AS602 had a couple of dips on the performance graph, but we suspect the drive was tested extensively before it arrived to our office.

Anyone who visits the Fresh Pond Reservation knows that it's a busy place. Every day, hundreds of people visit the Reservation to complete the loop around the pond, bike, wander throughout the paths and nooks, socialize, and much more. In 2010, Watershed Division staff members developed the Fresh Pond Reservation Census Program to better quantify the number of visitors and to determine the many different user types.
The Census Program incorporates a combination of staff and volunteer-collected user surveys and unattended Eco-Counter sensors to provide documentation on user group types, patterns, and numbers at the Reservation. These data help the Water Department to better manage the Reservation, develop and implement strategies to reduce user conflicts, and to focus restoration projects in popular locations throughout the Reservation.
Staff and volunteers conduct surveys of user type, group size, and travel direction periodically at Eco-Counter sensor locations. These surveys both supplement and check the data collected from the Eco-Counter boxes installed at the Reservation. Two of the boxes are located along the Perimeter Road, one at the water treatment plant (WTP) and the other near Little Fresh Pond (LFP), and the last is located at the entrance pathway at Black's Nook. The Eco-Counters tally both the number and direction of users by using a passive infrared sensor and a lens to detect small temperature changes caused by people passing the sensor. The sensors collect no other information. For quality control, data from the Eco-Counters is downloaded weekly and screened for anomalies. Future sites for additional sensors include the golf course and Lusitania Meadow entrances, and the bike path.
Eco-Counter at the Water Purification Facility.
In both 2011 and 2012, the average daily count by the Eco-Counter sensors on the Perimeter Road was 1,100. Assuming that most people complete only one loop, that's an average of over 1,000 people visiting the Reservation a day. An example of the daily count totals for all sensors is provided below.
User type data collected from the surveys, shown in the pie chart below, indicates that almost half of all users at the Reservation are walkers.
The data collected from the Eco-Counters is compared to the walkers, runners, and cyclists tallied in the surveys. Reservation users who are shorter than the height of the Eco-Counters, such as children and dogs, are not tallied by the Eco-Counter and thus not included in the error calculation. The running average error between the sensor counts and survey data is approximately 10%, the majority of which is attributed to differences caused by side-by-side groups the sensor detects as one count. Comparisons between the surveys and sensor results imply that the sensors consistently underestimate total user amounts, indicating that the Eco-Counters provide conservative estimates of Reservation usership.

From 2004-2005, I was deployed to Kandahar, Afghanistan. My team was in charge of the medical air evacuation unit that covered all of southern Afghanistan. We performed both civilian and military air evacuations. During my deployment, I was fortunate enough to receive a care package from the Operation Gratitude program.Care packages from family were always a welcome distraction from the day to day missions, but this program was different. It meant a little more, because people who my soldiers and I had never met had taken the time to gather these items and notes to send to us. When you're over there, it's easy to feel forgotten. Gestures like these were a warm reminder that the people back home really cared.The package that I received contained a packet of Emergen-C. I had never even heard of Emergen-C before but the product tasted great (especially in the 100 degree + temperatures).After I returned from Afghanistan, I separated from the Army and moved back to Southern California to finish my bachelor's degree in finance. A friend of mine told me he was doing some consulting work for a company that manufactured a product called Emergen-C. I instantly remembered the product from the care package that I received and began to research the company. As it turned out, they were looking to hire an accountant! And in 2009, I was hired by Alacer Corp. I have grown along with the company and I am now the Project Manager for Emergen-C and am a member of the Foothill Ranch site leadership team.Over the past several years, I've become very proud of the support that the company has given to Operation Gratitude. Through product donations, as well as countless hours working on care packages, our organization is truly making a difference in the lives of the soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who are still serving throughout the world. I hope that in the future, we can grow this partnership and continue to remind those serving overseas that the people back home really care.Sincerely,Josh Davis

I love Emergen-C! It helps me stay healthy & active! It's great for all occasions, I like to put it in my orange juice at breakfast or into a water bottle when I go hiking & biking. It gives me that extra edge to keep me going longer when I'm out in the woods, so I can spend more time doing the things I love & feel great everyday! Thanks Emergen-C for making my day a little more bright & fizzy! :)
I don't think I have ever been as enthused over a product as I am about Emergen-C. I have been in the habit of taking a multi-vitamin tablet for some time, as well as vitamin C tablets. But it recently dawned on me that something more was needed to properly support my immune system and support my daily energy. After a week of babysitting my two nephews, it was a wake-up call that I needed to do something extra to support my overall health. So I decided to try your product and I guess I can say that you had me at "feel the good"!
My son is a picky one indeed. He HATES any type of medicine, vitamin, replacement drink, etc... When I sent away for the Emergen-C samples I was quite pleased there were so many Emergen-C Kidz varieties to try. I placed the powder in a cup, and added water and my sons eyes lit up to see the drink begin to fizz. He was really excited to try it (which made me really happy)! He (in his words) "drank it down, because it is so good." Well I was overjoyed and we ran out to buy more. Emergen-C is now my go to for days when I think he could use a little extra something good for him! The product was a hit, and my son sees the drink as a treat which is a relief for me. No more struggles with helping to support my little guy's health. Thanks Emergen-C!
I began giving my son Emergen-C Kidz 2-3 times per week. I got him excited about drinking it by calling it his 'Magic Juice'. He liked this and he liked drinking it. I truly feel Emergen-C supports his immune system. Thanks Emergen-C! I am going to buy more tomorrow!!!
I love this drink. My daughters love Emergen-C Kidz, especially when pouring. They can do it by themselves and see how it is bubbling. Also I love that they can get vitamin C in their drink without too much sugar. Love it.
Thanks to Emergen-C I have noticed a change in my family's life. I have 3 children, ages 11, 10 & 5 and they drink 1 pack of Emergen-C Kidz daily. Our experience with Emergen-C Kidz has been really wonderful. They have all their vitamins thanks to your drink. My kids' immune systems are supported thanks to Emergen-C. The good thing is that my kids can drink it without tasting the actual vitamin. They love to drink it and they say it tastes good. I recommend this to everyone that wants a healthy lifestyle. THANK YOU EMERGEN-C!
My daughter loves Emergen-C Kidz, she has it every day to start her day. When she comes downstairs it is, "I need my vitamin juice." I don't see us stopping anytime soon!!
Emergen-C Kidz is my trusted friend. During the winter, I warm it up and give it to my kids as their drink in the morning with breakfast. During the summer I cool it down with ice to help keep my family's bodies going strong for all our summer fun! Emergen-C is my all year round bestie!
My 4 year old son is not a soda drinker by choice (phew!), so the fizziness of Emergen-C makes him push his glass away. All I have to do is add a silly straw, and he forgets his troubles & sips his Emergen-C Kidz Orange until I hear the tell-tale signs of an empty glass (more please!)
I received a sample of Emergen-C in the mail...seriously OMG love all the flavors and of course all the good stuff inside this delish powdery goodness. With all the different flavors I never get bored and my kids love Emergen-C Kidz and how easy they can just pour their favorite flavor in a water bottle and in just a few shakes, enjoy. woot!!!
I am a mother of three children (ages 7-12), a substitute teacher, and a full time nursing student so I stay busy and stressed. My husband is retired from the Air Force, a full time culinary student, and also a substitute teacher. All five of us use Emergen-C and Emergen-C Kidz daily. I am so glad my family has found Emergen-C! Thank you Emergen-C!
My story is short but true. I have a dear friend who is always trying to encourage me to take multi vitamins (for years). Problem is I hate swallowing pills. One day she gave me a couple packs of Emergen-C and said to just give it a try. She takes Emergen-C on a daily basis. I took it and I loved it. My son tried Emergen-C Kidz and now uses it too!! So thanks for Emergen-C and providing a delicious and easy way for me to get my vitamin C. Love it!
I had never tried Emergen-C before receiving your free samples. I love the taste, and how it supports my energy. I feel better about my health when I drink it, and know I am taking better care of my body at the same time. I love all the flavors, my grandkids love the Emergen-C Kidz, and wanted to know what the good drink they were being served was called. Thank you, Emergen-C!
I get up for work at 1:45 every morning. Most days I work 10-12 hours or more. Then it's off to pick up my son to go to baseball practice or a game. He's a catcher for his 14AAA traveling White Bear Lake team. When I get to his house, I mix up a packet of Emergen-C Orange for myself and an Emergen-C Kidz for him. It gives me a late afternoon pick me up and he says it refreshes him. Even my two daughters like it. They agree it's a nice refreshing drink. Thank you!
I have been using Emergen-C since the 1980s. Raised my kids on it and now have introduced the Emergen-C Kidz to my grandson. I tell everyone about what a great product it is for energy and health support, and overall well-being. So glad it is now readily available. The early years I had to have my health food store order it. Keep up the good work.
I just recently started watching my granddaughter after pre-school. When she gets here, we both have a glass of our favorite Emergen-C and Emergen-C Kidz. Better safe than sorry I always say.
My whole family uses Emergen-C. My husband takes it every morning. I use it when I feel run down & my kids take Emergen-C Kidz. We use the Immune+ too.
I started using Emergen-C over 3 years ago when a friend offered me a packet. It worked! I have been a believer and user ever since. I use it once a week to get a healthy dose of vitamin C. Emergen-C is like bottled sunshine! It's healthy and supports my energy. I have recommended it to family, friends & co-workers. I even tried the Kidz Emergen-C for my son and he liked it! Thanks Emergen-C!
My 11-year-old daughter is an avid dancer taking ballet, tap and jazz. These classes are quite strenuous, especially during the months of preparation for the "big recital" at the end. Haley absolutely thrives on Emergen-C Kidz to give her the pep and great energy support to dance her heart out! Haley says without her Emergen-C before classes, she couldn't make it through to "boogie her little heart out!"
From my Tropical love affair, to my Triple Berry Blue crush, and all the flavors in between, Emergen-C had helped me and my fam "Feel the Good" for many years. (Keep the new flavors comin'!) We got to go with the flow of new flavors as they came out. My hubby and I handed it out to racers at events to share the "Good." And before we knew it, you read our minds, and out came the ElectroMix! As we have gotten older and realized the necessity of vites, mmmmm, yummy vites, the Emergen-C Kidz came, and now for our toddlers, the yummy fizzy drinks that are good for them! You have seen us through all aspects of our life, and we are feelin' the love and the good and passing it forward to our friends, fam and the community! Keep it comin'!
I absolutely love Emergen-C products, I cannot go through my day without it!
It puts a little bounce back in my step! I love it!
I'm a runner and I love your product. Thanks! Keep up the great work!

's Emergen-C Story:

Most visitors to Golden stick to the main drag of Washington Street, the Boettcher Mansion and anything within walking distance of the Coors Brewery. But it's time for the town to mark more landmarks in its tourist guide, including the small strip mall that's home to Ali Baba Grill.
This tidy, sparsely decorated spot serves the best Middle Eastern food in the area (and received a Best of Denver 2002 award two weeks ago to note just that). Owner/chef Fayad Aoutabachi was one of the owners of the now-defunct La Zeez (its former home at 2594 South Colorado Boulevard is currently occupied by another Middle Eastern eatery, Aladdin). A native of Syria, he spent a decade working as a chef at a large restaurant in Saudi Arabia, and his winning dishes reflect both his family background and his cooking experiences. Aoutabachi's partner in Ali Baba, Mahmoud Dukmak, worked at La Zeez, as well as several other Middle Eastern eateries along the Front Range; born in Lebanon, he lived for a while in Syria, and it was there that he learned the art of hospitality.

Side: $1
Texas sheet cake: $2.50
And Ali Baba is one very hospitable place. When I dropped by one evening to pick up some takeout, Dukmak not only served me fabulous mint tea -- the restaurant keeps a pot brewing at all times -- but also handed me a plate of just-made, sticky-sweet baklava to enjoy while I waited for my order. When I complimented the delicious, made-from-scratch confection, Aoutabachi came flying out of the kitchen. "Would you like some to take home for your family, too, on me?" he asked. Although I declined to take any more dessert, I did take away a very favorable impression of the place.
A subsequent meal at the restaurant only heightened my good opinion; every dish was a wonder. For starters, the baba ghanouj was a sweeter-than-usual take on the eggplant dip, puréed to the consistency of frosting; its caramel-like quality and rounded depth indicated that the eggplant had been flame-charred instead of oven-roasted. And Aoutabachi had used tahini sparingly, which kept the dip from becoming too thick and gummy. His hummus had a texture similar to that of the baba ghanouj and boasted just enough garlic and lemon juice to make it taste like much, much more than bland chickpeas.
This attention to detail was evident in the other appetizers, too. For dolmades, the grape leaves had been stuffed not just with rice, but with bits of ripe tomato whose sweet tang played off the lemon juice and olive oil that had been poured over the leaves. And while the kibbeh was fried -- very few Americans are willing to try the raw version of what is essentially Lebanon's national dish -- it was still noteworthy. The ground sirloin had been wrapped around a filling of seasoned bulghur wheat and pine nuts, then shaped like an egg (three mini-loaves came to an order) and fried in olive oil until the outside turned into a shell that held in the moist, steamy meat.
Salads are a good test of the quality of Middle Eastern eateries, and Ali Baba passed with flying colors -- specifically, the fresh, vibrant colors of tabbouleh. This was another dish made with bulghur (wheat kernels that have been steamed, well dried until crackly, and crushed), even though Ali Baba's menu called it "cracked wheat" (which really refers to whole, unprocessed wheat berries broken into pieces). The bulghur had been soaked until soft and then mixed with fresh parsley and tomatoes, along with onions, lemon juice and just the right amount of olive oil to keep things moist and add a faintly nutty touch.
As good as our starters were, Ali Baba's meats were the real treat. Technically, the chicken shawarma should have been a sandwich; instead, we got big chunks of tender, rotisserie-broiled chicken breasts with charred edges. Slathered with a garlic paste, the bird had a smell and taste that hit right in the pits of our stomachs. A Meat Lovers combo brought more chicken, this time charbroiled in a kabob, as well as an equally tender beef kabob. The third part of the combo was kafta -- sometimes spelled "kofta," it refers to meat or rice, or both, ground and pressed into a dense shape that's boiled in a broth and often cooked over high heat. In this case, the kafta had been shaped long and thin; it contained quality meat, as did the gyros, made from rotisserie-broiled lamb and beef rather than just beef, which many joints use to cut costs. And the shrimp done "scampi" style took the Italian classic to a new level, covering the crustaceans in chopped green onions and bell peppers, then drowning them in garlicky butter and a splash of chile-spiked, coconut-sweetened curry sauce.
All of the entrees came with pitas, steamed rice, a small Greek-style salad of romaine, tomatoes, onions, and a mild vinegar-and-oil dressing, plus a scoop of hummus. Also included was a hefty helping of charm from the two owners, who made a point of visiting every table to offer information and nibbles of unfamiliar dishes.

Justifying the continued operation of aging plant can be a real problem unless the material properties of the plant can be reliably established. Obtaining samples from key components can, therefore, provide a significant contribution to PLEX justifications and structural integrity assessments.
Material sampling can also form an essential element in characterising any surface breaking defects discovered.
Relatively small material samples can be prepared for material characterisation under optical or high resolution scanning transmission or electron microscopy. Features such as small surface cracks, or the conditions at grain boundaries, can thereby be investigated.
For many years Rolls-Royce has utilised and continuously developed a range of material sampling techniques.Samples have been extracted through ECM, EDM, water jet cutting, as well as more conventional mechanical cutting techniques.

Scoop sampling
The complete sampling service
Whether you require material samples to support PLEX justifications, or need samples to be taken from remote locations to allow detailed examination and subsequent diagnosis of a defect or flaw, Rolls‑Royce can supply the complete sampling, analysis and reporting service.
Sampling packages are tailored to meet individual customer needs. They can vary from provision of SSam™-2 machines and operators for in-situ scoop sample removal, to full analysis and reporting of results. If necessary, bespoke machines and equipment can be designed to meet the particular requirements of a project.
The need for scoop sampling
In order to support the design and operation of plant and equipment within the power generation, processing, chemical and associated industries, it is sometimes necessary to remove small test samples from specific components for analysis.
The information obtained from scoop samples can be used to support plant safety justifications, design criteria, life extensions, remnant life assessment, maintenance and inspection requirements, failure mode investigations, etc. The relatively small amount of material provided by the scoop sampling process can provide the metallurgist with a wealth of information.
Samples can be prepared for material characterisation under optical, high resolution scanning transmission or electron microscopy. Features such as small surface cracks, or the conditions existing at grain boundaries, can thereby be directly investigated.
Test pieces can be manufactured from the samples for assessing material properties such as fracture toughness, hardness and radiation embrittlement. In addition, test coupons can be made for tensile, fatigue and creep testing, or evaluation in corrosive environments.
In conjunction with Exponent Inc, Rolls‑Royce can offer a Punch Testing service. This technique uses established correlations to provide reliable FATT data from miniature disc specimens that can be cut from the scoop samples.

Unsubscribing, Take Two
I may have reached the end of my second run of WoW.
As was the case last time, there was no clear death knell, no final straw, no slap in the proverbial face. Forensic evidence would probably suggest that my decline in activity can be traced back to the 5.2 announcement. At that point, I stopped bothering with LFR, knowing that I could endure the same long queues for 20+ better ilevel gear in a few weeks. I was also pretty much geared in all 483s anyway, much to the chagrin of my less fortunate guild survivors.
5.2 reinvigorated several things for me, including reaching some of the reputation milestones on alts that I would have dismissed out of hand as ridiculous previously. There were some underlying truths about myself I started to realize however:
- A healthy variety of dailies is 100% meaningless. Blizzard seems to think that 15 dailies out of a pool of 90 is somehow more palatable than the same 15 over and over. But… dailies are dailies. Unless a certain daily quest is particularly odious, such as having to kill a hard elite solo (the Pyrestar Demolisher), all daily quests blur together into a gray slurry of virtual obligation.
- Between the lack of interesting Black Market Auction House wares (which has admittedly improved in 5.2) and the BoP-crafting material economy, it is difficult to maintain interest in even lucrative AH shenanigans. As I continued canceling and re-listing cut gems and other goods day in and day out, I asked myself what exactly I imagine myself doing with this almost 400k gold. Buy something… but buy what? The lack of 476+ BoE weapons particularly was annoying. Yes, I could run LFR a bunch of times or even Honor farm, but all this gold was supposed to save me time, at least theoretically. If time = money, then money = time, does it not?
- I continued playing long after I no longer experienced any fun because of the possibility that things might change in the future. Which is quite a bizarre feat of circular reasoning, if you think about it. I have 76 pieces of Imperial Silk, for example, because if I suddenly developed a resurgence in interest, my future self would have more fun with all these accumulated mats (which you cannot really get any other way). It reminded me of how I behaved in my Middle School history course: the teacher handed out a week's worth of worksheets on Monday, and I always completed them that very evening so I could slack off the rest of the week.
- The Legendary quest backfired big time, at least for me. By the time 5.2 came out, I had 2 Sigils of Power and 14 Sigils of Wisdom. With an average ilevel of 491, I was faced with the prospect of slogging through half a dozen or more DPS queues for the starter LFR raids, getting 476 vendor trash… if I was lucky! And then what? 6000 Valor? The questline might not have been "required" for anything I was doing, but it certainly felt more in-your-face "you are falling behind" than I ever felt before about, say, a raid-only reputation or heroic valor gear, by the very virtue of its accessibility.
- Once I got over the initial trepidation of skipping a day's worth of cooldowns and AH re-listings, it actually became more difficult to convince myself to log back on at all. I had already "lost a day" that I would never get back. So… why bother? I skipped logging in one Saturday, and suddenly half the week is gone with nary a fuck given.
As with the last time I unsubscribed, I do not begrudge Blizzard and crew anything in particular. Well, maybe for the shit-hole of a no-pop server that they continue to allow to exist, to the detriment of all the lost souls trapped in Auchindoun-US's hellish purgatory. But beyond that, most everything else I see as an improvement over prior design. Heroic scenarios sound like a great feature, and would have been custom-made for the 2-3 of my friends that actually managed to log on these past few weeks. Similarly, I am/was looking forward to being able to choose which spec to gear up in LFR, regardless of current role.
But… well. I could quite literally be playing any one of a hundred other videogames right now; games already purchased and with no subscription fee. More than the money though, I am looking forward to having the mental space back. It's… liberating, in a way that cannot be described to someone whom has not had that same sort of mental real estate spoken for and suddenly vacated.
The Wages of F2P
I finally buckled-down and purchased a 3-month subscription to PlanetSide 2 last night. I say "finally" because I had been waffling back and forth for quite some time on the decision, all of which has resulted in me losing out on +35% XP gains (which translates into faster Cert gains, which translates into character/weapon upgrades) for the duration of the indecision. I have been playing this game 1-2 hours a day for the past several months, so it is not a trivial amount of potential lost progress.
But still, even with credit card in hand, I felt like I was getting suckered. Since Steam, I never pay full price for anything. And this is a F2P game, right? I know things are designed to part me from my cash. I could technically get everything (non-cosmetic) from gameplay, so why purchase anything? Or, you know, bide my time until the next double/triple Station Cash sale at least.
But… you guys have no idea how much fun I've been having with, say, that underbarrel grenade launcher. Or rocket pods on the jets. At what point does it become silly to intentionally have less fun for a long duration for a reward at the end, versus spending that same amount of time having fun with the reward?
Actually, the former sounds like… erhm… daily quests.
By the way, this means, to date, I have spent ~$85 (x3 SC cards, 3 month sub) on a F2P game. Mission fucking Accomplished, SOE.
Blue Balls
I debated titling this "Diablo's Blue Balls," but [spoiler] Diablo doesn't have balls.
To the ongoing amazement of all (including myself), I have continued to play Diablo 3. You know, the game that I quit twice? In fairness, "playing" consists of 40-60 minute circuits of Act 1 Inferno with 177% Magic Find as I farm random items to sell on the AH for gold to purchase actual items, so that some semblance of progression can be squeezed from the rock that is Act 3 Inferno.
After three days of putting off another progression attempt like one does a dental appointment or a particularly difficult bowel movement, I finally sat on the chair and grit my teeth while awaiting the verdict. It was worse than I imagined. The "awesome" 1.5 million gold weapon I purchased actually decreased my DPS and survivability. In a panic, I scoured the AH for other upgrades… upgrades which helped in the sense of elongating the amount of time it took my face to collapse from the champion pack curb-stomp.
Up until now, I have been treating Diablo 3 as I treated daily quests in WoW: a not entirely joyless task in service of the greater goal of progression. The allure of rare items netting real money certainly added spice to the stew, but the endpoint always was taking down the titular Diablo on Inferno. As has become increasingly clear, that goal is no longer entirely reasonable.
Mike Morhaime has some words to say about Diablo 3 at this two-month mark, although you have to swim through six paragraphs of PR bullshit to find any:
You've seen some of that work already in patch 1.0.3, and you'll see additional improvements with patch 1.0.4. On the game balance front, this update will contain changes designed to further deliver on the team's goal of promoting "build diversity," with buffs to many rarely used, underpowered class abilities. Another topic we've seen actively discussed is the fact that better, more distinct Legendary items are needed. We agree. Patch 1.0.4 will also include new and improved Legendary items that are more interesting, more powerful, and more epic in ways you probably won't be expecting.
[…] On the flipside, we are also committed to ensuring you have a great experience with Diablo III without feeling like the auction house is mandatory, which was never our intention. Thank you for all the feedback about that.
[…] We're also working on a gameplay system that will provide players who have max-level, high-powered characters new goals to strive for as an alternative to the "item hunt." We're not ready to get into specifics just yet, but I can say that we're actively taking your feedback into account as we plan out the future of the game.
After thoroughly washing my hands, what I got from all that was: nothing.
To suggest that the designers never intended the AH to be mandatory is simply ludicrous. I do not mean that in a "greedy corporation cash shop" sense, I mean that in a "did these morons ever do any projection analysis of what the hardest difficulties require in their own goddamn game" sense. It matters not that a pro player can cheaply gear themselves well enough to go through Act 2 when all that budget gear came from other players. Was the design really that a player would spend 2+ months farming an Act for upgrades to progress to the next one when that is eight times as long as it took to get there in the first place? And, please, spare me the Diablo 2 anecdotes unless it involves the necessity of specific gear to finish the final boss.
…that is kind of the rub though, right?
As a player, I want both the fun to never end and the satisfaction of a completed experience. Meanwhile, the designers of MMOs and cash shop games want to delay the gratification for as long as possible while still retaining player interest. If the tacit tension between both parties is maintained successfully, both profit. After all, a game that abruptly ends before the player wants it to is just as bad as an unfinished game drained down to the curdled dregs at the bottom of an otherwise bone-dry barrel of fun.
…except that is wrong. The latter is worse than the former, and you do not even really need balls to appreciate that fact. Simply examine every unsatisfying ending to any game you have played – the one quality they will all have in common is lack of closure. Of release.
If Inferno was easier, there is little doubt that I would have completed it and shelved Diablo weeks ago. Many could argue that Blizzard was doing me a favor by setting forth this Sisyphean task, as those are (presumably) weeks of fun I would not have otherwise had. But that is not what happens. What happens is I sit here, without even the satisfaction of a logical endpoint, miserably looking back on those weeks of "fun" with a jaundiced eye and two blue balls.
And what I see is time spent playing Diablo 3 when I could have had more fun playing damn near anything else.
Dailies and "Bad Design"
There is a fascinating conversation going on in the General Forums right now with Daxxarri concerning daily quests and how they are "bad design." This exchange in particular piqued my interest:
This is just a bad design. A game should not ask for daily commitment to enjoy what it has to offer.
[…] I get concerned when I see players throwing out words like 'bad design'. Perhaps an individual dislikes a design choice, and that's fine. We do our best, but World of Warcraft can't be all things to all people, all the time. That said, making a value judgment about whether the design is 'bad' or not is not only un-constructive, but in the vast majority of the cases I've seen, such an assessment reveals that the design was not well understood to begin with.
Followed up later with:
That being said, why are you harping on the OP's use of the term "bad design"?
Because language is important, and also, because it's often used in the phrase, "That's just bad design." to justify why a mechanic or feature is undesirable to the poster in question. It presupposes the correctness of an opinion which may not, in fact, be correct. It also tells me nothing useful, except "I don't like it", but it makes, "I don't like it." sound more erudite, knowledgeable and sophisticated. It still boils down to, "I don't like it.", which isn't particularly useful without a context.
Point taken, Daxxarri. I have deployed the "bad design" argument here and in comments elsewhere, using it as short-hand for "this feature isn't catering to me." It is an open question of whether I should be catered to, and at whose expense. Personally though, I vote for being catered to 100% of the time, everywhere.
This does raise the question of "What can be considered good design?" It would seem to me that we need to know the intention of a design before it could be judged good or bad. Without designers coming out and explaining intentions though, is there any real way to know? Are subscriptions and profit margins the only metrics that matter?
And the further complication for subscription-based MMOs, for me, is that I cannot trust the designers to not include time-sinking as one of the principle intentions of everything they do. Do patches really come out 8 months apart because it takes that long to polish… or because that extra month means millions more dollars at little extra cost? Did Blizzard really feel Molten Front was best paced at 35 straight days of dailies? Why not, say, 25 days?
All that aside, I do want to highlight the original statement again for your consideration:
A game should not ask for daily commitment to enjoy what it has to offer.
To be clear, the poster is talking about World of Warcraft, a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game. And you know what? I think I agree with him.

Christmas Season
What is the Christmas Season?
Christmas is the celebration of the Incarnation of Jesus; the Word made flesh. Our celebration of the Christmas season begins on the evening of December 24 with the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ and ends on The Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. This extended liturgical season is the fulfillment of the preparation, anticipation and quiet longing we experience during Advent. The mood changes from one of stillness and hope, to one of joyful celebration filled with love and gratitude, wonder and awe, family and communal togetherness. The liturgical color for the season of Christmas is white, symbolizing purity and joy.
The Christmas season is filled with Solemnities and Feast days. During the Feast of the Holy Family we honor the family of Jesus and celebrate the Holy family as the model for all families. During the Solemnity of Mary we commemorate the divine motherhood of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Solemnity of the Epiphany celebrates the revelation of Christ to the world and the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord signifies the purification of the world through Christ himself. The numerous Feasts and Solemnities that occur during the Christmas season highlight the extended nature of the season and the sanctity of the domestic church.
The Christmas season is the time for us to allow all that we hoped and longed for throughout Advent to take hold of us. Our hearts are filled with the love of God by the completely vulnerable and precious infant Jesus. By welcoming and accepting the weakness and humanity of Jesus, we learn to accept and love our own human weaknesses and limitations. We long to share with one another every aspect of our humanity, our happiness and joy, as well as our loneliness and brokenness. We are reminded that the greatest gift we have to give is the love God has given to each of us.
At St. Laurence
We see the season as a time of great joy, happiness, togetherness and celebration. Emphasis is placed on Christmas as a "season" rather than as "a day." By having honored the true spirit of Advent we are now ready to celebrate! It is a time for families to reconnect and spend time with one another. It is also a time to joyfully celebrate with our friends and neighbors. Because the Christmas season is a time to honor our humanity, we should forget neither our own brokenness nor that of others. We must be mindful that for some, the Christmas season may be a time of loneliness or sadness. We must be sensitive to the struggles of the human condition and willing to walk with others with compassion.We encourage ministries to:
Celebrate with joy the birth of our SaviorSupport activities that foster the domestic church
Reach out to those who may feel forgotten
We encourage parishioners to:
Come to understand Christmas as a season rather than as a single dayParticipate joyfully in the Solemnities and Feast Days of the season
Give generously of ourselves to our families and those in need
