Although my hardboard siding is in good condition(house 1986 built), I intend to install Hardiboard. I've heard that: (1)it's common/ok to install over existing siding, (2)it is better to remove siding first. Thoughts/experience with this? Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by Renovator8 (My Page) on Sun, Jun 19, 11 at 20:42
Fibercement siding is not very strong or stiff so it has trouble looking flat on an uneven substrate. If the existing siding is true you might be able to put the fibercement siding over it if you are using the same coursing. The other issue is that fibercement is a water reservoir material that can hold moisture after a hard rain or prolonged high humidity and allow it ot be driven into the house if exposed to strong sunlight after a hard rain. Therefore the wall system must be designed to either allow or prevent moisture migration into the building. This depends largely on the climate of your area but the membrane chosen must lie against the existing siding unless such a membrane is already installed under the original siding. The existing siding could just be in the way. |
No siding is the actaul drainage plane. It is there to protest the drainage plane from exposure and damage. Leaving an older layer is a cost cutting move that can lead to long term problems when moisture penetrates the top layer and remains trapped between the drainage plane and the top layer. |
we live in a burb of houston tx. we replaced the siding on our house and built a 1200 square ft shop with hardiplank 8 and 10 yrs ago we did remove the original siding on the house and put "something" don't know what underneath the siding on both note, the nails have to be much closer together on hardi than on wood siding, we put a good paint job on both and we're really happy with the hardiplank |

There may be a reset button under the bottom of the icemaker head.
If you have the head with the lights on the right front,turn the On/Off switch OFF then back On to reset.
Also check the fill tube to see if it is frozen.
Posted 04 January 2013 - 09:06 PM
Thanks for the reply.No my icemaker does not have the lights on the front,nor does it have a reset button that I can find.I have checked the fill tube,not frozen.Thank you for the reply and help.

This is such an amazing creme blusher. I normally buy Lilicent which luckily for me has been discontinued. Luckily as otherwise I would never buy this product. The blusher looks a nice peachy pink in the pot. A pretty but not a spectacular colour. However when applied to the cheeks it seems to brighten up my whole face. The tiniest amount does the trick. After applying it my face looks fresh clean and healthy. A great product that I will definitely buy again.

Something special is a very pretty and natural looking light peach.
Texture is non sticky
Pigmentation is ideal- not too sheer, so you don't have to apply 3762 layers and not too heavy- I never had to tone it down
Applies smoothly and evenly with fingers
Leaves a healthy slightly dewy finish
Goes well with practically any eye/lip color
It's a fave!
Beautiful, natural, peachy pink color. Goes on smoothly and lasts most of the day. I actually bought a second one - I don't think I've ever done that with a blush before. The hinge on the compact broke, that may have been my fault, but it seems a little flimsy.
This is my hg summer blush. I love it on my skin especially when my skin gets tan Omg its amazing. It gives me this glow and my husband even thinks I look amazing when I wear it
This is such a gorgeous peachy pink matte color with a natural semi dewy finish. It looks so pretty on my fair skin. I apply it with a stippling brush before setting my makeup with my powder. I also looks great with no makeup or just tinted moisturizer. I love it for summer because it looks super natural. Best cream blush I have ever tried. Good job Mac!
I love this peachy creme blush! I REALLY love all MACs creme blushes. The color gives a beautiful, natural flush to my pale skin (nw15) and is very pigmented. The color can be easily built up, and easily sheered out with your fingers if you happen to apply too much product.
I have this a 4 only because it can be tough to get on the brush when new, but once you use it for awhile, it says moist and picks up on the brush easily. When new, I have to "loosen" a bit by rubbing it with my fingers so the brush will be able to pick up the product.
I highly recommend this blush :]

I bought this because I wanted a non-sparkly version of NARS's "O" and this was the closest match that I could discern from MAC's cream blushes. Okay it's not a match but it still stands on its own. The colour applies with a hint of brown on my skin which I did not expect but I like it all the same because it gives a subtle and natural-looking flush on my face. It's not that malleable for a cream blush. The texture is a little tough so just be a little more careful when blending to make sure it's even. But besides that it's still a good buy.

This has to be the best thing I purchased in 2011! The color works wonders on my pale skin. I get a healthy glow, and a nice dewy sheen to my cheeks! If you have pale skin, I highly recommend you go out and get this blush!
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
My new favourite blush! Gorgeous peach colour that looks quite natural on my very pale skin. Easy to apply and blend - I just apply with an ordinary blush brush as my fingers just made it look patchy. Will last me a long while as it's very pigmented so you don't need to use a lot. Definitely worth the money and will be purchasing a backup soon.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I love my the invation that i chose. The instructions were easy to follow. I also loved that i was able to save my projects when i wasnt ready to order then yet. There only one thing i dislike abd that was how long it took to ship. Now i understand that they have to print and allbut sheesh. So when i order something a second time i chose express it said it would be at my house in 4days and it did but it was soo much."
"From design to execution, this was absolutely perfect! Has a level of elegans that far exceeds any other design that I have seen. It was absolutely wonderful and precisely what I was looking for! When I receive them in the mail I open them up and they were absolutely exquisite. There is a level of perfectionism that far exceeds anything I've ever seen from any other stationary store. I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for simple and elegant wedding invitations."
"The paper quality is very good and the printing is excellent. Shipping is very fast even in Italy and the staff of Wedding Paper Divas is really nice and helpful. I would recommend anyone to purchase on this website! My vote is EXCELLENT, I love Wedding Paper Divas."
"We opted to go with the Elegant Enchantment series of products for our wedding invitation, thank you cards, and even details card. However, the RSVP card did not meet our specifications and/or could not be configured (through the website) to our liking, so we got the RSVP card from the Textured Linen series. It did not match 100% but served as an adequate substitute (plus we were able to include the information we wanted on that card). For customization, we opted for the blue/green flowers and used rounded corners with all of the correspondence. All in all, this series met our expectations in every possible way."
"This design is even more detailed that it appears in the picture and all of my guests have commented how beautiful it is. The designers are very accomodating and did a beautiful job customizing this to match the wedding colors and include all the wording I wanted. It came out beautifully and I could not be happier with the whole process."

Oil dropped from the highest closing price in three days in New York after a report showed that Chinese consumption growth is slowing.
Futures slid as much as 0.9 percent as Chinese customs data showed the country's apparent oil demand dropped to the lowest level since October. A separate report indicated Chinese manufacturing may shrink for a sixth month. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. closed a recommendation to trade the difference between two futures contracts in New York.
"Negative data from China is contributing to oil's weakness today," said Christopher Bellew, a senior broker at Jefferies Bache Ltd. in London, who correctly predicted Brent's advance to $120 a barrel earlier this year. "Brent has slipped into a lower range."
Crude for June delivery fell as much as 90 cents to $102.98 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange and was at $103.10 at 11:23 a.m. London time. The contract climbed 1.1 percent to $103.88 on April 20, the highest close since April 17.

Monthly news summary of all the happenings and up and coming events in the Scottish Traditional Music scene.
Born Richard Peter, the eldest of three children, in 1948 his mother, Frances MacDonald, was a Highland Scot, originally from Bohenie in Lochaber, whose first language was Gaelic. She was a singer in both Gaelic and English. His father, Dick, was born in Leith of an Irish father, an Irish speaker and fiddle player, from Doohoma in Mayo.Gaughan was brought up immersed in the musical traditions and culture of the Gaels, both Scots and Irish, which naturally, therefore, provide the foundation for everything he does.
He has been a professional musician and singer since Jan 1970. Has been playing guitar since the age of 7 and made his first solo album in 1971. Working mainly in the areas now known as "Folk" or "Celtic" music, he has recorded quite extensively since then in many countries and in various combinations. Has also worked extensively as a session musician in a wide variety of musical styles.
During this time he has also been fairly active as a record producer, midi programmer, composer - composing the music for films for the BBC, Scottish Arts Council and independent producers - actor and theatre music director, having been in both roles with the celebrated 7:84 (Scotland) Theatre Company in the early 80s, songwriter whose songs have been recorded by, among others, Billy Bragg, Mary Black and Capercaillie, and also served for several years as a reviewer/columnist with Folk Review magazine in the late 70s. Instigated the setting up of the association Perform in the early 80s and was its Chair for 2 years.
He was an early member of the band Boys of the Lough and is on their first album and was with the now-legendary Scottish Folk-Rock band, Five Hand Reel, making 3 albums with them. In the 90s he founded and produced the short-lived but quite extraordinary ensemble Clan Alba.
Having very eclectic tastes, he also plays everything from free jazz and rock to country music and has studied orchestration to develop his compositional and midi programming skills. He plays most fretted stringed instruments but his natural instrument, and perhaps what he is happiest doing, is acoustic guitar. His greatest musical love is for the ancient traditional Scots ballads. Also know as The Muckle Sangs (the big songs), these are the big story songs which form a substantial part of Scotland's living wealth of traditional song.
Over the years, Gaughan has recorded and performed many of these "Muckle Sangs", The great Scots Ballads are mostly of very great antiquity with some of the themes and motifs being traceable back thousands of years. Full of mystical and supernatural references. they are very dramatic and powerful and Gaughan has always insisted that the greatest singer of ballads he ever was privileged to hear and learn from was the late Jeannie Robertson.

Birobidzhan - The Search for a Room
Ten years ago, when Gary and I were in Birobidzhan, we ran into some trouble with the law. The police came poking around one day while we were out, asking our hosts, Maya and Sasha, about the American journalists they heard were there. Maya and Sasha were understandably freaked out -- we hadn't officially registered our visas to stay in the apartment -- and Gary and I had to flee like a couple of desperados.
We raced to the only place we could think of -- the apartment of an American missionary family we met a couple of days earlier -- and told them we needed a place for the night, leaving out the part about the police being hot on our trail. Not our finest moment, clearly.
I somehow lost Maya and Sasha's telephone number after that first trip, and even if I could track them down, they might not be too happy to see me anyway. So this time around, we decided to play it safe and rent a hotel room. But on Friday, when we called from Khabarovsk, we discovered that there were no rooms at the Vostok Hotel and none at the smaller Nadezhda hotel either. Oops! We were supposed to leave for Birobidzhan on Saturday and now we had no place to stay.
Yulia leapt into action, haranguing the woman who'd been unfortunate enough to answer the phone at the Nadezhda hotel for a good ten minutes. Wasn't there any place the Americans could stay? Another hotel? A private apartment somewhere? "These journalists are flying in from New York to do a story on Birobidzhan!" she insisted. "There must be some place they can stay!"
That did it. A woman who worked at the hotel said she had a one-room apartment near the center of town that was available. If we told her what time we were arriving in Birobidzhan, she'd meet us at the train station and take us there. What a relief! True, it felt a bit strange agreeing to stay in the apartment of a random stranger, but what were our other options?
We arrived on Saturday night, and Raisa Borisovna met us as promised. She walked us to an austere apartment block near the station, and as we lugged our bags up the dank staircase, I felt for the first time on this trip like I was right back in 1995. Our apartment is spartan but clean, with the kind of white lace curtains and blocky, Soviet-style furniture that once decorated most homes across Russia. But in the biggest throwback to those olden days, it has no phone.
It took us half of Sunday to find Birobidzhan's only Internet "café": a small, stuffy room lined with computer screens and packed with boys playing online video games. We'll send our updates from there, or via the satellite equipment we've brought. Our goal now is to find out how the Jewish community is faring in Birobidzhan, the capital of Russia's Jewish Autonomous Region.

Your pictures are fantastic!
I love the monolithic building of Birobidzhan as much as the picturesque streets of Khabarovsk.
Glad you found a place to shack up.

One phenomenon that would be interesting to know more about--particularly if it exists Birobaidzhan--are the Jewish repatriates. Many Soviet Jews emigrated to Israel, the US, Germany or elsewhere, and have returned. Some of the middle-aged and elderly returned to be with their friends. Some of the talented young came back, bilingual and bicultural, to make their careers and fortunes. Some didn't feel the pull of old ties and new opportunities so much as the push of their new country, which ended up being more foreign than they expected. Enjoy the sense of nostalgia in the Soviet-style apartment, and good luck with the Internet cafe!

I once was a student in the USSR, and had a good friend from Birobaidzhan. Your story sparked a lot of good memories from the mid to late eighties. Her name was Jana, and we both studied at Ivanovo State University in the math departement. She graduated in 1988, I actually traveled with her to the train station in Moscow, as she was travelling back home to Birobaidzhan for good.
Enjoy your stay and thanks for the quick journey back my youth.
It would actually be very interesting to read about the social life, job opportunities, and schools in Birobaidzhan. But most importantly why some of those people did not leave in the late eighties and early nineties?

We'll be doing more reporting from Birobidzhan, and will try to answer some of these questions. Look for our Road Story later this week, probably on Friday!

Your photo of the train compartment is just as I remember during the trips between Moscow and Yoshkar-Ola, where my wife is from. It always took about 16 hours one-way to get there and back. If you are able to visit Yoshkar-Ola, please visit my mother-in-law. It is about an hour by train north of Kazan. We live in Maryland and it has been three years since I have seen her. My wife did visit this past summer. Enjoy your travels,

Please consider visiting Nizhny Novgorod, about an 8 hour train ride east of Moscow. It used to be the closed city of Gorky. It was a big trading center during czarist times, then closed, then showed a lot of entrepreneurial spirit once it was reopened to trade(it had its own web site as early as 1998). We adopted our daughter from an orphanage near there, and we'd love to hear how the wonderful Nizhny Novgorod couple who helped us are doing. Keep enjoying your travels, Susan

Roman Emperor Nero, who was most likely the emperor when St. Paul wrote Philippians. He was also most definitely NOT a saint!
21 Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me greet you. 22 All the saints greet you, but especially those who are of Caesar's household. 23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
This is a standard epistolary conclusion, but note St. Paul's saying "All the saints greet you, but especially those who are of Caesar's household." This implies that through St. Paul's efforts, at least some of the members of Caesar's household had converted to Christianity. These may have been slaves, paid servants, or relatives of the emperor. At St. Paul had suggested in the first part of his epistle, his imprisonment was not for nothing; it had a purpose—the furthering of the Gospel in Rome.
As is his custom, St. Paul closes his epistle by commending the Philippian Christians to the Lord. FF beautifully sums up what St. Paul does here: "From his prison captivity, the great apostle reaches out to them, praying that the grace, favor, and protection of the Lord may be with their inmost spirit. So St. Paul of unfettered joy ends his epistle to them, leaving them with this note of peace" (65).
Here endeth my Bible study series on Philippians.

OMG, Bo is adorable. What a sweetheart. |
The kids must have loved Bo's visit as much as Santa's... |
Love it when a big dog thinks it's a lap dog! He's a gorgeous critter and apparently much loved--and loving. |
I saw it on the news and the attached clip did not show the little boy saying......"Show Bo the picture." When she held the book our for the audience he wanted the First lady to show Bo the picture too, It was so cute. |
EVERY dog wants to be a lap dog! I had forgotten that Portugese Water Dogs get so big. |
I saw it on the news too. Really cute. |
Very nice, bu scrolling down to read the comments threw sewer water on my good feelings. How can people be so disrespectful of this woman in this setting? |
I really enjoyed the video too but reading the comment made me feel so disgusted...not the way I want to feel this season. |

Did any of you see the video titled, "BO Takes A Christmas Tour Through The WH". Or some such title. It is BO walking the halls into every room after the decorations were done. He gets to the room where they have the big stuffed BO He stops and looks up at the trees in the hall. It is just the cutest thing you have seen. |
I really enjoyed the video too but reading the comment made me feel so disgusted...not the way I want to feel this season. I did not read the responses I am glad I did not now that I see they were disgusting. It is what it is...there will always be hate in the world. Some people do not have love and happiness in their life so they get their anger out in the wrong places. Wonder how many of them took the time to show some caring for kids or people that needed a smile, a gift, a meal during the Season. |

September picked up where August left off and the garden has just been spectacular with the volume of flowers and number of bouquets I've been able to cut and gift. I haven't taken as much time to capture shots and post pics after the August deluge and now that all my posts have cleared page one, I thought I'd post for the first time in September ;-)
These are mostly bouquet shots, I had the pleasure of making one for a 95 year old on her birthday as well as a 73 year old cancer survivor on hers and the smiles were simply priceless !!! I hope everyone is well, I hope you enjoy and thanks so much for looking :-) For the 95 year old For the 73 year old Dinner Plate dahlia CP The Dark Lady Dahlia Y/O bouquet A Trillion Bells ;=) Mandevilla Yesterday's downstairs bouquet Today's Upstairs bouquet And lastly some Easy's |
Follow-Up Postings:
Just beautiful!! I can`t imagine having that many flowers to give away. Do you cut long stems when you cut the roses for arrangements?I also enjoyed the last picture. Sometime would you post pictures of your garden .? I would love to see more whole garden shots. I bet it is heavenly! Thanks again...Lesley |
Pretty pretties! Love those dahlias! |
Thanks guys :-) Lesley..............It really depends upon the vase but as a general rule the dahlias, hydrangeas, and phlox usually have the longest stems because I use them for the foundation and a longer stem supports them from tipping sideways. The roses are usually cut to have long enough stems but the length is dictated more by outward facing buds ;-) As far as the garden shots, I've posted a ton of OT (Off Topic as in not roses) over the years and they are archived and searchable :-) beth, the bouquets get a lot more colorful once the dahlias start :-) |
Your bouquets are always breathtaking, boxo! |

I love them all - but I especially love your upstairs boquet. The colors and shapes!!! Aaaaahhhhh :) Your Chicago Peace looks AMAZING!!!! Wow!!! Mine has a medium to strong fragrance. I love this rose - so many blooms. Does yours have a nice fragrance? Even if it doesn't - that's a mighty fine looking rose!!!! |

Ye Gods and Little Fishes,..spectacular blooms and to see them in Bouquet is perfection,..lucky 95 year old and 73 year old,..that surely made the day for them. Philip |
Philip, what I love is the art of surprise :-) Most people have never actually received a 'homemade' bouquet. It's not just the colors and textures that wow them, it's the fact that they actually smell fragrant (unlike store bought ;-) carol, this is my first year with roses in pots and CP. I wanted to take advantage of the sun and heat up on my west facing deck so I planted CP, DD, and CI in large pots. CP is right up there with my favorites. She is not as fragrant as Double Delight or Abraham Darby which both buckle my knees but she blooms so prolifically and the blooms are drop dead and huge. Summer is BBQ season and I sit right next to her in my John Deere chef's chair and I couldn't be more pleased with her addition to my garden !!!! |
I love the oranges and yellows! So festive for Fall! Tammy |
- Posted by canadian_rose zone 3a (My Page) on Fri, Oct 5, 12 at 22:37
Yeah, not as fragrant - but CP does have its own fragrance which is quite lovely. I never want to be without this rose. Now I can "see" you sitting beside it and enjoying such a lovely rose. Carol |

KCRW Presents: Gotye
The Australian artist Gotye (a.k.a. Wally Debacker) has released a few albums, but his latest, Making Mirrors, has positioned him for a breakout year. He's already made a splash in the U.S., thanks in part to the singer Kimbra, who provides the perfect female counterpoint in the emotional single "Somebody That I Used to Know." Breakups are painful, of course, but the music they inspire can be revelatory, as is the case here.
During Gotye's American radio debut on KCRW this past November, he explained that Making Mirrors is so named because its songs are a reflection of his life.

Kathy Button Bell
Fellow BMA Members:
One of the things I love most about my role on the BMA Board of Directors is the people I meet. In the last few years, I've visited with members around the country and spoken at many chapter meetings. While many people come to hear about my experience, I'm always fascinated by what I learn from them.
During all of our conversations, there's a strong common denominator that stands out: change. Change in our industries, change in the business world, change in how we need to function as marketers.
This is why I've worked with the BMA board over the last few months to put together a smart, strategic plan for the next two years—because change is here to stay. We've already tallied significant progress since the international conference in June. Much of this comes from tapping the expertise of past Board Chair Al Maag to serve as the association's executive director.
As a board, we've rolled up our sleeves and begun to improve the BMA infrastructure so we can better support chapter leaders and improve service to members—from branding and the marketing.org website, to the tools and guidance to help chapters deliver a strong local community.
Where We're Headed
BMA's vision ties directly to the research we conducted with Forrester and released at our international conference in June. We're keen on helping marketers navigate the accelerated pace of change by delivering relevant content, studies and resources. Helping chapters cultivate a strong base for local events means creating opportunities for connection and growth that lead to member recruitment.
As an association, my vision is that BMA serves as the inspiration and access to conversations about how our profession is changing. The board's purpose is to help B2B marketers navigate the change we're all feeling and help each of you realize that, while we can't control the changes we face, we can control how we deal with them and move our profession forward.
One of the things I struggle with is being the person in my company who's trying to span the chasm between the pace that the market sets and the pace at which my company is willing to move. It's a challenge for me to set a strategy that will pave the way for my company not just to keep up, but to stand as a leader in our industry. This is the type of challenge BMA wants to help marketers cope with. We want to help people make better choices during a time of disruption and rampant change.
No Excuses
For many years, B2B marketers have talked about how the pace of change in our industries is much slower than that of B2C. That's no longer the case. Just because you're a B2B marketer, doesn't mean you can move slowly. If you expect to stay relevant to your customers, then you have to educate yourself on what's going on and improve your skills as a professional. Because when it comes down to it, you can't opt out of the change we're experiencing.
At BMA, we believe it's our job to help educate you, connect you and stand in front of you to show you the way. Since I've been involved with BMA, I've found that it's the heartfelt conversations I've had with small groups of members all around the world that stick with me. We'll all very different, but it's our different point of views that help us look at the work we do and have well-rounded perspectives.
In our accelerated pace of change, remember that time is our friend. Remember not to overreact to the challenges we're facing. It's never too late to make marketing better. BMA is here to help you continually get more information and make your decision-making better and easier.
Here's to a year of building a stronger B2B marketing community,

Our Lady Peace makes a return to fighting form on Curve
Curve (Warner)
You've got to give Our Lady Peace points for honesty. Without coming right out and saying that the band lost the thread at some point in the past decade, singer Raine Maida, in press materials accompanying Curve, says "This is the record we've been trying to make for the past 10 years." Maida also says that making the album found him and his bandmates "truly challenging ourselves to come up with something more authentic and inspired".
Reading between the lines, the frontman seems to be admitting that the world was justified in all but ignoring OLP's last few albums, and that singles like "All You Did Was Save My Life" and "The End Is Where We Begin", while big and important-sounding, were formulaic rockers that didn't satisfy either the artistic or commercial goals of the Toronto group. Listening to them, it's hard to imagine they're by the same band (albeit with a different guitarist) that emerged during the mid '90s alt-rock explosion, with songs (like "The Birdman" and "Starseed") that bristled with postgrunge angst but didn't really sound like anything else.
Since we can all probably agree with what Maida seems to be saying—that Our Lady Peace lost the plot some time after original guitarist Mike Turner's departure in 2001—let's move on to the present. Because you know what? Curve is a good record. Not just "okay for a band past its prime" good, but actually really good. Right from the opening moments, the group seems determined to let it be known that this isn't going to be just another in a series of mundane albums. "Allowance" kicks off with what sounds like analogue synth tones lifted from a Tubeway Army B-side. While drummer Jeremy Taggart hammers out a beat that splits the difference between krautrock motorik and four-on-the-floor rock, the rest of the band turns in the kind of anthem that suggests Our Lady Peace has been taking notes at Arcade Fire shows.
In fact, throughout the record, you can make reasonable guesses as to what Maida and company have been listening to. Duncan Coutts's snaky, fuzzed-up bass groove on "Fire in the Henhouse", for example, wouldn't sound out of place on a Muse disc, and the rest of the song follows suit. Elsewhere, Steve Mazur's off-the-rails guitar solo on "Find Our Way" bears a more than passing resemblance to Jonny Greenwood's indelible lead on Radiohead's "Paranoid Android". But who cares? Everyone borrows, and Our Lady Peace hasn't sounded this energized in years. The band credits coproducer Jason Lader with helping to ignite a long-dormant fire under its ass, and kudos to him for that.
Maida still sings like a man convinced that the fate of the world rests on his every word. It doesn't, but the fate of his band might very well depend on how Curve fares. The general theme of the record is perseverance in the face of adversity, and finding one's feet again after landing in the gutter. Fittingly, a photo of Canadian boxer George Chuvalo graces the album's cover.
Chuvalo is a survivor in more than one respect, and if the songs on Curve are any indication, Our Lady Peace—which plays the Commodore next Thursday (April 19)—could very well follow in his footsteps. Don't call it a comeback, though: OLP's been here for years. But now the group is finally making music it can be proud of again.
Definitely heard Muse influence on here too, by the way. "As Fast As You Can" sounds like Muse's "Starlight".
I don't much appreciate the tone of this article; it sort of suggests that OLP has been struggling to make another diamond status record (we all know Clumsy's fame), and that they were on the verge of falling out because of the lack of sales.. Any fan who knows the band well knows that that is not what they are aiming for, and it never has been. All Raine, Steve, Duncan and Jeremy want to do is make music. Music that holds true to itself and that people can relate to.
Cool, when do they plan on starting?

EU's latest annual call for Security Research proposals now closed: strong stakeholder response to explore uses of social media for civil security Pubblicato il: 24/11/2011
The European Commission's fifth annual Security Research call for proposals closed on 23 November. As with previous Security Research calls Europe's stakeholder community had four months to respond to the research topics in the call.
With an indicative budget of EUR 241.7 million, the call represents the Security Theme's work programme for 2012. One more call will be issued in 2012 to round off the FP7 Security Research effort, which has a total budget of EUR 1.4 billion for its seven-year period. The latter corresponds to the EU's larger 2007-2013 general research budget known as the Seventh Framework Research programme.
Similar to previous years, the fifth call set out a broad swath of R&D topics, from countering home-made bombs and radicalisation campaigns to boosting supply-chain security. The call's 50 topics were clustered into seven broad research categories:
- security of the citizen
- protection of critical infrastructure
- border security and "intelligent" surveillance
- restoring security and safety after an event, also known as "resilience"
- interoperability between security systems
- societal aspects of security (privacy, radicalisation, etc.)
- R&D networking and market-development
One of the items in the societal security category that sparked keen interest across Europe's research community, for example, was topic SEC-2012.6.1-3, which sought proposals on the "use of new communication/social media in crisis situations".
Interest in this topic was already strong at the EU's annual Security Research Conference during 20-21 September in Warsaw and its pre-event "brokerage" sessions where stakeholders presented their research skills and ideas. A number of presentations focused on the interplay between social media and civil security response.
Meanwhile, with the closing of this call, Commission services will now turn to independent evaluators to assess the proposals it received. This will stretch until the end of February, after which a short-list of accepted proposals will be defined, followed by notification of selected versus rejected proposals around mid 2012.
Negotiations with successful project consortia will unfold over the summer and autumn, with the calls' first batch of research projects getting off the ground by end 2012/ early 2013.

The 33rd Annual Razzie Awards Nominate All the Usual Crap
Movie News By Nathan Adams on January 9, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWhile many would like to think that snark was something born of the Internet age, the fact that the Razzie Awards for Worst Achievements in Film are now in their thirty-third year pretty demonstrably proves that to be untrue. There's an uncomfortable truth at the center of all this, which is, to snark, to pass judgment, to make fun of things that fail publicly and spectacularly—it's all kind of fun, at least in a sick way. If it wasn't, something like The Razzies wouldn't be able to stick around this long. In recent years, however, the film industry's laser focus on building franchises and sticking to the same formulas has taken a little bit of the fun out of seeing who gets picked on for being the worst of the year. A crop of usual suspects has developed, making the announcement that the latest Twilight movie and the latest Adam Sandler comedy have earned the lion's share of the nominations something of a tedious formality. So, here we are, having yet again sat through another Twilight movie and another Adam Sandler comedy, and, sure enough, it seems that they've once again gotten the bulk of the nominations. If there's any new narrative going on, it's that Madea's Witness Protection seems to have annoyed the people who vote for the Golden Raspberries more than usual. Perhaps that's due to Jack & Jill making men in drag a more contemptible offense after last year, or perhaps it's because they're trying to set […]
'Jack and Jill' Achieves Unprecedented, Humiliating Razzie Awards Sweep
Movie News By Nathan Adams on April 2, 2012 | Comments (2)You would think that having your film sweep every single category of a highly visible awards show would be a once in a lifetime honor that would be a career capping moment. But that's not really the case when the awards show we're talking about is the annual Razzie Awards for worst in filmmaking. No, in this case, winning every award is a pretty clear indication that you're a shame to the entire human race, and should probably stop making movies. In accordance with the new schedule that the Razzies are working under this year, they announced their winners yesterday, on April Fool's Day. When the nominations were first announced, it looked like Adam Sandler's Happy Madison production, Jack and Jill, was set to take home a record-breaking amount of awards; and boy, did it. For the first time in the history of the Razzies, one movie swept the show, winning (relatively speaking) in every single category.
Razzie Nominations Take Dead Aim at Adam Sandler and Happy Madison Productions
Movie News By Nathan Adams on February 27, 2012 | Be the First To CommentLet's be honest here, the first time we all heard about Adam Sandler's cross-dressing comedy, Jack & Jill, it was already clear that it was going to be an epically awful abomination that would inevitably get the attention of the yearly awards for worst in film, the Razzies. And get their attention it did. Upon today's announcement of the nominees for the 32nd Annual Razzie Awards, Adam Sandler has earned the distinction of being the most nominated performer of all time, receiving 11 nominations for his work in not only Jack & Jill, but also Just Go With It and Bucky Larson. Also, as a whole, Sandler's Happy Madison Productions has scored a whopping 19 nominations overall for the three aforementioned films. While these numbers are staggering, especially since The Razzies only give out ten awards every year, they should probably come as no surprise. It's hard to understate just how bad all of the work that Sandler has done this year is, how lazy and pandering every film that has his name on it ends up coming off, and how shamelessly self-aware Sandler seems to be about the awful choices he makes, all while gleefully counting his stacks of money. Some may say that it's going too far to nominate the man both in the Worst Actor and Worst Actress category for Jack & Jill, seeing as he's not really an actress, but not me. I say he deserves it. His ridiculous portrayal of a woman was just that […]
Razzie Nominee Announcement Put on Hold
Movie News By Nathan Adams on January 23, 2012 | Be the First To CommentTomorrow is the big day when the Academy is set to announce this year's Oscar nominees, and traditionally that meant that today was supposed to be the day that The Golden Raspberry Award Foundation announced the contenders for The Razzies, the annual set of awards that are unique in that they recognize the worst in the world of moviemaking instead of the best. This year things are being done a little differently over at Razzie headquarters, however.
'The Last Airbender' and 'Sex and the City 2' Win Big at The Razzies: You Know, For Sucking
Movie News By Nathan Adams on February 28, 2011 | Comments (2)The day that Hollywood waits for all year is here. Also, the day that people who write about Hollywood wait for all year is here. Hollywood is probably paying attention to the Oscar winners, but for the rest of us it's time to see who won The Razzies. After all of the paychecks have been cashed and all of the artistic compromises have been made, the moment to find out who crapped out the worst schlock comes here: The Golden Raspberry Award Foundation has poured over all of the nominees and named their winners for the worst work of the year. Watching bad work earn Razzies isn't quite payback enough for having to suffer through all of the crap that Hollywood churns out every year, but for people who watch everything in hopes of steering the public towards the good, it does serve as a little peace of mind. If the ceremonial blowjob of the Oscars has to exist, then I'm glad the Zen of the world is maintained by the Nelson Muntz "ha-ha" of The Razzies; the snarky yin to the gushing yang.
Razzie Nominations Announced, Fragile Egos Bruised
Movie News By Nathan Adams on January 24, 2011 | Comments (12)The moment that Ricky Gervais secretly waits for every year is upon us. The nominations for the 31st Golden Raspberry Awards are in. The Razzies is a different kind of awards show, not one that heaps false praise on people that it doesn't respect, but one that dishonors the worst work of the year. No, their nominees for Worst Picture aren't quite as bad as the Golden Globe nominees for Best Picture – Comedy or Musical, but it's still generally considered an insult to earn Razzie recognition, and God forbid you actually win. Looking over this year's nominees has left me in a confused emotional state. The only film I've seen that on here is The Expendables. Does that make me a bad film fan or a smart consumer? Can one truly appreciate the good if he hasn't waded through most of the bad? In 2011, I solemnly vow to see more bad movies.
Movie News After Dark: 'Spiderman' in the Bleachers, McG Plays 'Ouija' and 'Machete' in Claymation
Movie News By Neil Miller on January 5, 2011 | Comments (4)Hey, you. Yes, you. No, not that person behind you who seems curiously intent on strangling you with a stand of fishing line. You. I'm guessing you are here because you want to know what's going on in the world of movies? And chances are you've had about enough of the "Film School Rejects attitude" seen in other, more wordy editorials. I'm here to rescue you and give you only the news that you crave as we both stare up at the moon together. And just as you realize that the guy behind you was, in fact, killing you this whole time, you are also going to realize something else: I'm delivering the news with attitude, as well. What can I say, it's late…

11 September 2013
Cardiff University scientists have developed a novel new data source* on Alcohol Licensed Premises that are potentially breaking the law in serving alcohol to drunken customers.Under the Licensing Act 2003 it is an offence to sell, or attempt to sell, alcohol to a person who is drunk. Records show that between September 2012 and March 2013, 306 night-time revellers were admitted to Cardiff's Alcohol Treatment Centre (ATC)** with very severe alcohol intoxication. Throughout the six-month period, testimony received from patients – and their friends - receiving treatment for intoxication, named 76 of the city's licensed venues as having serving them their last drink. Cardiff University's Violence and Society Research Group analysed the data provided by the ATC, thus providing new insights into potential breaches of license conditions. The top five most frequently named venues - where according to patients and people accompanying them they received their last drink - are as follows:
1. Walkabout (testimonies: 8.17%)
2. Oceana (testimonies: 7.84%)
3. Glam(testimonies: 6.86%)
4. Vodka Revolution(testimonies: 4.58%)
5. Soda Bar(testimonies: 3.92%)
Other venues named include Lloyds Bar (3.59%), O'Neill's (2.94%) and the Cardiff Students' Union (2.94%). One in ten (10.78%) people who ended up needing treatment for intoxication said they'd taken their last drink in a private residence, while 6.54% said they'd obtained their last drink on the street.Director of Cardiff University's Violence and Society Research Group, Professor Jonathan Shepherd, who developed the data-sharing model, said: "We're confident that these are reliable data and that this is an important new source of intelligence for tackling the epidemic of night-time drunkenness in Cardiff and the harm and expense it causes. This new intelligence will help continue the reduction in levels of injury and disorder in the city centre."The Alcohol Treatment Centre provides an innovative response to the heavy demands placed on health and police services by severe alcohol intoxication displayed by patrons of the night-time economy in Cardiff. The 'last drink' data is passed to South Wales Police and Cardiff County Council licensing department - the intelligence is helping inform the Police Licensing 'Traffic Light System'. The scheme is used to keep track of alcohol-related incidents associated with Licensed Premises and is based on a points system. The information obtained is analysed and used to identify at a very early stage those licensed premises which are problematic, and highlight the need for the police to work with the operator to resolve the problems.As a member of the government's Alcohol Strategy Group, Professor Shepherd has shared this new intelligence source with the Home Office, providing the opportunity for this new intelligence to be taken up by licensing authorities, emergency departments and Police forces across the UK. /Ends*Please see attached Alcohol Treatment Centre data sheet Last drink data from Alcohol Treatment Centre Sept to Mrch 2013**The Alcohol Treatment Centre is a collaboration between Wales' Community Payback Team and Cardiff and Vale University Health Board.Useful links:Cardiff University's Violence and Society Research GroupFor further information or to arrange an interview, please contact:Professor Jonathan ShepherdTel: 029 20744215/2447Mobile: 07779490022E-mail: email@example.com:Tomas Llewelyn BarrettPublic Relations Cardiff University Tel: 029 20 875 596 Mobile: 07950792532E-mail: email@example.com UniversityCardiff University is recognised in independent government assessments as one of Britain's leading teaching and research universities and is a member of the Russell Group of the UK's most research intensive universities.

Note: We update this list each week to add the best new titles Netflix has to offer. These picks are fresh as of January 13, 2015. You're welcome.
Let us guess: It's been a rough week, hasn't it? At the office, your boss is riding you harder than I'll Have Another's jockey before the horse's sidelining injury. Outside of the office, in the presence of the old ball-and-chain, every word you say gets misconstrued and turned into some kind of verbal assault. Well, we know exactly what you need, and that's to sit down, fire up the Netflix account, and watch a good, old-fashioned horror mo… Actually, scratch that. A scary movie is exactly what you don't need right now. Rather, you need some uninterrupted belly laughs.
And there's no better source for that kind of comic relief than a purely funny movie. Shit, how about 25 of them? Having scoured through the online film rental website's catalog of watch-now comedies, we've assembled the following list of The 25 Best Comedy Movies Streaming on Netflix Right Now, covering the complete spectrum of cinematic guffaws. If none of these cure those aforementioned real-world stresses, don't fret—we'll be back with a horror companion list next week, though, for humanity's sake, give these a try first.

Jun 9th 2011 11:42PM Two things we know for sure.
1) History is in favor of Blizz announcing the next Expansion at BlizzCon this year to setup for a release at the end of 2012. It follows their typical release schedule on how these things work.
2) A Bioware exec said during E3 (yesterday) that they are still on schedule for a 2011 release. So I would fully expect to see it go into public-ish beta here in the next couple of months and then setup for a release date announcement after Blizzcon has passed and then put it in stores by Mid December.

The Queue: How much does a GM make? {WoW}
Jun 1st 2011 11:43AM It might be, but most of the information on pay scales can be found online pretty easily. From what I know, their starting pay is around $10/hr, with the ability over a pretty long time to get up to $11 or $12 an hour. So sure, you'll get close to 25k a year once you have been there awhile, but not right away. Also most call center jobs have significant turn over, and Blizzard is no exception. So figure the industry average of 40% churn every year and you'll rarely get employees that will start to top out on the scale.

Jun 1st 2011 11:29AM Cost of living is significantly less in Texas. You can get a ton more for your money than you can elsewhere. Most GMs, which are just call center reps who handle 100+ phone calls plus tickets a day, make anywhere from $8-12/hr.

15 Minutes of Fame: The Craft Dinner gang {WoW}
Jun 30th 2009 3:30PM Hey, it's BadTouchies here (one of the Ominous/Craft Dinner folks). Thanks for the great comments.
One of the things that didn't really come out in the interview, which I think is well worth mentioning, is how Craft Dinner has allowed us to quite handily overcome one of the stereotypical consequences of gaming - isolation. No pasty skin and mother's basements here, friends. Not only are we rocking through great content online, but we're building community and deepening relationships. A few of the guys we play with have become close friends on account of regular, weekly time together. Sometimes other friends will actually come to watch (which I think is a little silly, but hey, cool for them).
Another funny little tidbit is that of the six original Craft Dinnerites, four of us are either working on or have finished our Masters degrees. The reason our Lock hasn't hit 80 is thanks to complications in the lab. Poor fella. He'll get there.

How do you . . . build a warm, nurturing home-away-from-home for families of seriously ill children who are receiving treatment at a nearby hospital, sometimes thousands of miles away from home?
Summary: Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana (RMHC-CNI) is working together with Advocate Christ Medical Center and Hope Children's Hospital in Oak Lawn, Ill., to raise $6.82 million to construct their newest Ronald McDonald House® just across the street from the hospital. Designed by two Chicago-based architecture firms, Constantine Vasilios & Associates Ltd. and architectureisfun Inc., the 22,000-square-foot structure will resemble an inviting, gabled lodge in the woods designed to give anxious families whose children are in treatment in the hospital a place of refuge.
When a family arrives at the 16-bedroom residence, which is scheduled to be completed in mid-2008, they will be greeted by a three-story cottage painted in golds and greens nestled in a grove of trees—a place that looks very much like home. Driving around a circular driveway to the front door, they will notice the driveway is topped with a slender porte cochêre, whose canopy wraps around a full-size tree. Peeking out to the right of the entrance they may even spy a small playful structure that would capture any kid's imagination—a tree house.
"It is critical that the house be a healing place for the families, who are there at a most extraordinarily stressful time," says Peter Exley, FAIA, principal of architectureisfun, who collaborated with the architect of record, Constantine Vasilios, AIA, to purposely create a building that looked like home. "We wanted to make them feel comfortable and to also give them something that's a little unexpected."
"It will bring the tranquility and serenity that families are looking for," agrees Mary Agnes Laguatan, director of programs and services for RMHC-CNI, which is constructing their fourth Ronald McDonald House®. This local chapter of Ronald McDonald House Charities® has raised $3.5 million for the project so far. "We wanted it to be welcoming, where families could find a place to rest and also to have some playfulness for the kids. It is warm and inviting; it's a design that embraces the family."
Embracing the community The house figuratively opens its arms to the community. "The gesture of the house is two open arms. The exterior is based on two open arms stretching out toward the hospital, the landscape, and the community," says Constantine Vasilios, AIA, of Constantine Vasilios & Associates.
The house was positioned to face the hospital, and the pathway from the front door directs itself right at the children's ward. "We felt it was important that a child in the hospital can look at the place and know that parents and siblings are there and they are home," explains Exley, whose award-winning firm specializes in designing kid-friendly spaces. The architects felt it was important that kids in the hospital, which treats 4,600 pediatric patients annually, could know their family was close by.
The house was designed deliberately from the inside out. "I think of the house as being the center of the universe for the inhabitants, and take that idea from the center and disburse it from the inside out," mentions Vasilios, whose firm specializes in designing residences. The interior layout is intuitive, with a kitchen and dining room, a central staircase that weaves around the fireplace three stories high, and, throughout, larger spaces in which to socialize collectively, and smaller spaces for private reflection.
Easing the pain "Our families are under a great deal of stress," notes Laguatan. "They need comfortable beds to sleep in and pleasant rooms to relax in, and a variety of spaces, from the larger dining area to small, intimate seating spaces. Some folks want to share; others want to be by themselves. The architects have created beautiful spots for families to relax in, little nooks and crannies. It gives you that intimate feel."
The architects also brought the atmosphere of the woods into the house, through natural wood flooring, exposed beams in the dining room, and its woodsy colors of subdued green and gold. Outside, on top of the porte cochêre, sod will be planted to create a grassy, green roof, bringing the themes of sustainability and the outdoors full circle.
Families will find their way around the house immediately, mentions Exley, of its straightforward layout. "When you step in the door, you know that your bedroom is upstairs. It is intuitive and recognizable. You can figure it out straightaway."
Opening onto the kitchen and living room is a playroom, where parents can watch the children even while making dinner in the kitchen, with its well-stocked cabinets. The house will be run by a small staff, including a daytime house manager and two resident managers in the evenings who will live on the premises. Volunteers help with cooking, cleaning, and a reception desk. Guests are asked to pay what they can, usually $5 to $20 a night, and if they cannot afford it, their stay is free. The house also plans to host student interns from Oak Lawn Community High School, which is leasing the land to RMHC-CNI.
"It's nice to come across visionary clients like this," says Exley of RMHC-CNI. "We are creating memories, comfort, warmth, and healing. They sound like poetic notions, yet in reality we are all looking for that every day in everything we do. This house is a place of shelter and comfort."

I thought I had reviewed this already, but I guess not!
My daughter Ari & grandson Kyzer came over & we fixed 2nd Breakfast, so of course, this was the appropriate tea for the occasion! Irish breakfast, sweet potato, vanilla, & cinnamon! Add stevia & yum!
Ari is the kitchen manager for a restaurant that serves amazing waffle-based dishes, both sweet & savory, & I'm helping her to come up with some waffles that are gluten & dairy free. We sampled 3 different recipes:
1 The almond flour pancakes from elenaspantry.com – these are my go-to paleo pancakes for when I need a treat for breakfast, any time of day.
2 A variation on the above recipe, substituting half of the almond flour with Hazelnut flour. I once made pancakes that way, & they were a real taste treat!
3 The pumpkin waffle recipe from paleOMG.com – This one was the winner, hands down! NOM NOM NOM! Her recipes rock, & although these waffles were a little more tender & fragile, they were out of this world!
Bring on the bacon, the maple syrup (just a little), & the tea, of course! Bilbo would have been proud!
Terri, do you follow http://thedomesticman.com/? Russ (the man behind the curtain) posts some wonderful gluten free recipes.

"We like doing business with a company that has a long history, stability, and integrity. Holz is a trusted and valuable partner." - Phil
"Holz works hand-in-hand to help our customers, by visiting the customer plant with us, asking the right questions, analyzing their needs and providing a recommendation that will work long term. This equates to trust." - Joe
"Holz does everything they can to meet the needs of their customers. They are good people delivering a quality product at a reasonable price, and that is what we look for in a partner." - James
"Your support and rapid response from your team at Holz was absolutely outstanding. We were both able to make ourselves look like heroes. The direct words from the maintenance manager at my fossil plant were 'Thanks all, you pulled my butt out of the fire and made our emergency and work plan go very smoothly.' Again thanks for all of your hard work and dedication." - Matt
