Your gonna need to show interest in her before she will show it for you. Start off with some conversation and I don't mean the weather but something such as a compliment (your shoes look good, nice outfit, etc.) and then see if she sparks a conversation so you can tag along if not talk about something that interests you and see if she has interest in what you like.
Everything else your gonna need to go along with cause these are just the first steps to making a good first encounter. Don't be negative even if things aren't going as planned girls like a confident happy guy so just be yourself and try to be outgoing.
Good luck on your relationship.

This is a fantastic townhome community. With two bedrooms, 1.5 baths, a patio, and a basement with hook-up for washer/dryers and plenty of storage, you can't get a better deal! The kitchen and 1/2 bath are very small and outdated, but the rest is a true steal! The playground is outdated but pool is awesome. The office and maintenance staff are wonderful. The management company takes care of the grounds during the winter and summer (our sidewalk was always shoveled in the morning) and any issues promptly (we had trouble with a sink faucet and it was replaced the same day). I would recommend this place to my own family.

I am located in Frederick, Maryland. the boat is located in Essex, Maryland, where my girlfriend lives. I saw the add and after he told me the boat was in Essex, I immediately asked if it was on back river, which is where I have been sailing my dinghy this summer. sailed in baltimore's inner harbor Monday. that was really cool.
anyway, if I had the time, after I learned about this boat, i'd have gone sailing down back river to see if I could find it.
I don't need to pay someone to work on it. I can do that. but storage is an issue. I don't have a trailer for it and, even if I did, I would have to keep it at my mom's house and she wouldn't go for that. I already keep one boat there. there is a nice marina right at the dock, where I sail from, on back river. it's full service and has floating docks. I was speaking to a guy with a multi-hull, who keeps his boat there, as I sailed by, the first time I sailed there. he says they arte really reasonable but what is reasonable, to him, might be outlandish, to me. that is something I need to check into, yet.

Key fire department hires new deputy chief
Date: August 26, 2009
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
As assistant chief of operations at the Sarasota County Fire Department, Paul Dezzi had more than 500 employees under his command. Now, Dezzi works with a considerably smaller staff of 33 as deputy chief of Longboat Key Fire Rescue.
"There's more camaraderie," Dezzi said.
Dezzi assumed the position of deputy chief July 20. The position had been vacant since May 2008, when Dep. Chief Pat Carden left the department.
Dezzi brings an emergency-medical- services specialty to the department. He began his career in 1984 with the Sarasota County Fire Department and moved up the ranks from firefighter to lieutenant, captain and, most recently, to assistant chief of operations. Dezzi was also in charge of the Advanced Life Technologies Support transport department.
"Longboat Key Fire Rescue is very fortunate to have a deputy chief with this much experience," said Longboat Key Fire Rescue Chief Richard Dickerson, in a prepared statement.
The town considered 17 candidates for the position. Dezzi's salary with the town is $84,389.76.
As deputy chief, Dezzi hopes to streamline communications between Fire Rescue shifts and incorporate new technologies into the department, which he says already uses advanced equipment.
"One unique thing about Longboat Key is every apparatus is equipped with medication," he said, noting that this allows fire-rescue personnel to treat patients even when an ambulance is not immediately available.
Dezzi hopes to promote educational programs, including those that educate civilians about topics such as CPR. But some of the topics he wants people to know about are even more basic, such as the importance of calling 911 in an emergency. Already, he has encountered residents who call the department's seven-digit office number instead of 911, thinking that will generate a faster response.
When Dezzi isn't working 24-hour shifts at the department, he enjoys spending time with his family. He and his wife, Deanna, have four sons: Adam, 18, Stephen, 16, and 10-year-old twins, Nick and Ryan, all of whom play baseball and keep him busy with practices and games.

These two are just for fun. Cute kid (and dog) drawing practice.
I've started playing around with an idea for a new story - you know, those things I never actually write or do anything with? Yep, one of those. I did a bunch of studies trying to flesh out the design for the main character (Emma), and along the way I remembered how much I enjoy doing these kinds of character sheets.
I'm really digging the seeds of the story I've got so far, so if nothing else you'll probably see some more character and environment studies popping up here.
P.S. I really despise the layout of this blog anymore, so at some point in the near future I'm going to try to change things up. I'd love to transfer the whole shebang over to Wordpress with my own host (which is how I have my other blog) so I may see about that.

Taken the car in to the dealership 3xs. They continue to maintain that the light is on because I am not "tightening the gas cap enough"! I KNOW how to tighten a gas cap!! Today I was humiliated while the service consultant explained that "if" I am telling them the truth, they will do me a "favor" by replacing the gas cap, because it is clearly the owner's mistake and not theirs! Grrrrrr

I have not fixed the problem, but every time I fill up the gas tank, the check engine light comes on. Once the fuel level drops below 1/4 tank it goes away.

So Far Gone, Drake [2009]
Drake's mixtape-turned-EP—his symbolic graduation from Wheelchair Jimmy to Drizzy—embodies the idea of coming into your own. Laced with Drizzy's pensive cadence and singsong wonder, the project takes your ears all over the place and highlights the many sides of Aubrey Graham. It's excellent background music for reflecting on personal growth, while contemplating how to word that next text to you-know-who.

Coming Soon: The Thin Man pays homage to Jim Jarmusch with an eight-week series
When Stranger Than Paradise hit the big screen, in 1984, indie director Jim Jarmusch was right in the thick of a trend: the American movie, made over in a drifting, plotless European sensibility that aped the way life usually continues to unfold, without a real storyline, sometimes in parallel worlds. It was fresh, dystopian, shallow and deep, and it marked the beginning of a run of Jarmusch films that's still in motion, featuring musician-actors and cult figures in many a frame.
In the spirit of its last series, an homage to the films of Pedro Almodóvar, the Thin Man will unreel eight delicious Jarmusch films on consecutive Wednesday nights in the Ubisububi Room, beginning tomorrow (January 5) at 7:30 p.m. with Stranger Than Paradise. Admission is free, along with the après-screening conversation. The Thin Man is at 2015 East 17th Avenue. Following is a taste of each selection:
Stranger than Paradise follows disillusioned youth on a road trip:
Down by Law, with Tom Waits, John Lurie and Roberto Benigni as convicts on the lam:

A few years back, the Beverly Center in Los Angeles contributed to the Chippendalification of the sacred Santa image by having a yearly event: Hunky Santa and the Candy Cane Girls. Ostensibly Mom (or in some cases Dad) could park the little moppet at American Girl and have a few drinks at the bar by the elevators. Then swing over to see sexy Santa and his overly sophisticated elves. Nearly naked Santa trapeze performers also horrified the right-minded. This indecency went on for nine years. Sanity finally reigned in 2011 and the event was cancelled.

Big data
By the end of next year, the FBI's Next Generation Identification system will contain as many as 52 million searchable facial images and offer new ways to link images to other data, according to documents made available by the agency in response to a Freedom of Information Act request.
Details of how FBI's NGI system will sift through databases were included in documents requested by the Electronic Frontier Foundation under FOIA. The organization has voiced concerns that NGI takes big-data capabilities too far by connecting palm print and iris recognition capabilities to fingerprints, facial images and biographical information. NGI also links criminal and non-criminal databases for the first time.
In an April 14 post on EFF's website, Staff Attorney Jennifer Lynch said NGI builds on the FBI's existing Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System, which already contains more than 100 million individual records. According to Lynch, NGI has been designed to include multiple forms of biometric data that are, in turn, linked to personal and biographical information such as name, home address, ID number, immigration status, age and race.
FBI deploys fingerprint system for mobile devices
How machine learning changes the game
In a Feb. 6 memo from the NGI program office to law enforcement agencies, FBI officials outlined some of the system's data-crunching capabilities. A Universal Control Number will index and reference criminal and civil subjects by fingerprint-based identities. According to the memo, the UCN will also play a role in a new Identity History Summary, which is essentially an electronic "rap sheet." The summary "will provide complete identity history, in accordance with NGI business rules, to authorized users of the NGI system."
The FBI has projected that by 2015, the NGI database will contain 4.3 million images taken for non-criminal purposes. When commercial jobs require fingerprinting or background checks, the prints are sent to the FBI and stored in its civil print database. Before NGI, however, Lynch said the agency did not collect photographs along with those fingerprints.
Furthermore, the FBI has not previously linked its criminal and non-criminal databases. But with NGI, every record will have a UCN and every search will be run against all records in the database, she added.
Also, a new "biometric set identifier" field on the Identity History Summary will provide pointers for all biometric types associated with an identity search. And a new "event identifier" field will be used to identify specific biometric enrollments.

Timothy took this of John Updike about ten years ago. RIP
I first heard Eartha Kitt sing "Monotonous" on the cast album of "New Faces of 1952." Years later, on August 10th, 2005 she visited my studio for a portrait. We had tea in the kitchen and discussed Vietnam, LBJ, her efforts to stop that war and how her career suffered as a result. RIP.
Legendary musician Odetta died at age 77.
Timothy photographed her on February 6, 2003
in a makeshift studio in the lobby of Radio City Music Hall.
Brattleboro Reformer
EDITORIAL: A Powerful Reminder
Thursday, November 27, 2008
As we sit down to our Thanksgiving dinners today, we should take a moment to remember the men and women who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan -- the living as well as the dead.
Part of the current exhibit at the Brattleboro Museum and Art Center, "As Others See Us: The Contemporary Portrait," is devoted to reminding us about the human cost of the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq.
The Black List in stores now....Barnes and Noble Lincoln Center...

"The Black List: Timothy Greenfield-Sanders and Elvis Mitchell", opened at the Brooklyn Museum, on November 20th, 2008.
This is the second leg of an ongoing museum tour, organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and sponsored by Credit Suisse.
All 25 portraits taken by Timothy for "The Black List Project" will be in the show. The 44 x 58 inch exhibition prints were made, courtesy of Epson USA. Timothy worked with Gabe Greenberg Editions in New York to create the scans and with Nash Editions in Los Angeles to make the prints.
"They think I'm Jewish," he says. "I'm in the Jewish book of famous people. But as far as, you know, on the professional level, I think it's pretty common knowledge that I'm half black or whatever. I was never really fazed by the, sort of, the color barrier, you know?"
As of September 16, 2008
"The Black List" book is in stores nationwide.


text: Well its Boxing Day here downunder and I survived Xmas Day. I didn't stay on plan but skipped the sweets and starches as best as I could. I had bacon with mushrooms and tomatoes for breakfast, beef with salad and a little bit of roasted veges (I cooked them in olive oil and fresh herbs and picked out the low GI ones), ate from the fruit platter for desert, snacked on the nuts and cheeses rather than the sweets, then had a slice of ham in a crossaint for dinner (salads were ALL starchy with high fat dressings) and a slice of cheesecake which I made myself using l/f ingredients. I still ate far too much and probably drank almost a full bottle of wine over the course of the day but at least I don't have a fridge full of leftovers. My DD is still fast asleep but she got a new bike for Xmas so I think we are in need for a family bike ride.

Scratchmen Apoo is captain of the On Air Pirates from the longarm tribe, and one of the Eleven Supernovas. His Devil Fruit power is linked to music.
So far nothing has been reveled about Apoo's past other than that he is the only Supernova from the Longarm tribe and from the Grand Line.
Scratchmen Apoo is a supporting character in the One Piece series that was created by Eiichiro Oda. The series first began serialization in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump on August 4, 1997. He first appeared during the Sabaody Archipelago Arc that began in Volume 50.
His first appearance was in One Piece Volume 51 CH. 498 "The 11 Supernovas", and his first anime appearance was in One Piece - Episode 392 "New Rivals Gather! The 11 Supernovas". His character in the Japanese series is voiced by Mitsuaki Madono, and the U.S. dub produced by FUNimation has yet to be announced.
Appo's clothing is very colourful and revoled around chinese and music culter, he wears a chinese garb with the kanji "Music" on the front, he has a rose printed on his left shoulder and wears a yellow sash around his waist. He has very long hair with beads in them, he wears traditional chinese shoes as well as custom headphones with he name on them, he also wears yellow tinted glasses. Apoo is from the Longarm tribe and as the name suggest he has vey long arms, each arm has two elbows making them much longer than a normal human's. Apoo's own body is also music themed as his teeth resemble piano keys and his jaw is much wider then his face, although this is possibly due to his devil fruit powers. Appo also has a unique stance when fighting, his arms move in a way that a DJ would. It is possible that Apoo's hairstyle and chinese themed attire was modled after the real life chinese pirate he was based on; Chui Apoo.
Apoo is a loud a somewhat cocky man, he is also seemingly fearless as shown when he engadged fellow Supernova Eustass Kid and remarked that they should fight on the other side of the wall due to how strong he was. He also seemingly was not scared of an admiral coming to Archipelago as he wanted to see how strong he was despite his crewmate warning him to leave. However despite his manners he has shown to be brave and helpful when needed as shown when he stopped Kizaru from Killing Basil Hawkins by attacking him, he even mocked Kizaru after he was down before attempting to flee the scene. Apoo seems to be very palyful with his crew as shown in the anime when he gave his crewmate a noogie in a playful manner and calmy enjoying a few drinks with his crew at the Archipelago bar. However Apoo seems to hate being told things he already knows as shown when a fellow Nakama told him they were running on air after being chased by a pack a boars in the New world. Apoo also seems to be attention starved as he loves to show off when their is a crowd as shown when he showed off his music skills when he confronted Kizaru before actualy attacking.
Apoo is in possession of a unamed devil fruit that allows him to literaly fight with music. The frut allows him to transform parts of his body into music instruments and attack with sound waves, so far it seems that Apoo is a far ranged fighter and only has two moves shown.
"Slash": The properties is this move is unknown however is has shonw to be albe to easily slice off the opponents limbs, as shown when he used this attack to slahs off the arm of Admiral Kizaru.
"Boom": This move was a follow up of the attack "Slash" is causes a massive explosion that rips the enemy in two. This move was also used on admiral Kizaru.
Other than those, the full exstent of Apoo's powers are unknown, however he was able to destroy a building in his fight with Eustass Kid. Apoo might also possess Haki as he was able to blow Kizaru in hlaf instead of his attack simply phasing through him.

I fully expected this to be a penalty box, but from the first moment behind the wheel, I was pleasantly surprised by the Versa sedan. It costs about $13,000, and it's a stripper, for sure, but the only thing it's really missing is a radio---and it really is inexcusable not to have a radio; everyone wants a radio, no matter how poor or desperate they are. And I'd like a little more padding on the driver's door armrest, and I'd like a driver's right-side armrest, but I can live without it.
I'd make the case that this is actually a very safe vehicle, based on the fact that there is NOTHING in it to distract the driver! There's no radio, there's no navigation system, there's no center stack littered with inscrutable controls, there are only three simple round dials to direct the climate-control system. A system which, notably, does include air-conditioning. And that's it. The two stalks on the steering wheel are simple: the left one is headlights on/off/dimming; the right one is for the windshield wipers. Both stalks are completely intuitive. There's no cruise control. The steering wheel itself can be adjusted manually. Seating comfort is good, and both the rear seats and the trunk are surprisingly roomy.
The Versa sedan rides perfectly well and has quite good steering feel. The engine has surprising vigor and is connected to a four-speed automatic --- a no-cost option on this trim level --- rather than a manual.
There are lots of cupholders: two right under the modest center stack, and two between the front-seat seatbacks, accessible to rear-seat passengers. There's a handy slot for a cell phone, clearly designed to accommodate either an iPhone or a BlackBerry; there's a little cavity above the blank radio faceplate, with a lid; the ventilation system works well, and the gauges are clear and easy to read. One of the best features of the Nissan Versa sedan is the visibility, which is great thanks to the broad, low windshield and the flying-buttress windows in the A-pillars; these give you a few more inches of peripheral visibility.
I find the acceleration to be perfectly acceptable, the brake-pedal feel to be good, the braking performance itself to be strong. Yes, this is a boring car, but it's a very respectable car for someone who just needs solid, basic transportation.

I'm fell in love with this plant from the moment that I saw it, but I also know that it's hardly available right now. But hey there's no harm in traying! However I'm looking for the whitest hosta(s) available and Nougat is at the top of my list! I also would like 'miss moonbeam' 'oil on canvas'or 'mountain snow'..... if I can't get ahold of 'nougat.' I don't have much in the way of hostas to trade. I do have Hosta 'nana'.... quite possibly the smallest known hosta and even littler known about it. I've lost the tags to any of my other hostas that are large enough to trade. I also have Pulmonarias Majeste and Silver Streamers to trade as well as plenty of other odd and unusual plants. |

Givenchy Pre-Fall 2013 | Pictures
Givenchy Pre-Fall 2013
What's Your Reaction?
Thanks for your reaction
Don't forget to share this with your friends!
Givenchy Pre-Fall 2013
After infusing a modern femininity into nuns' habits for Spring 2013, Riccardo Tisci created a decidedly more masculine offering for Pre-Fall. His daywear tended toward sharp, clean lines and colorblocking, and pieces that lean on menswear staples (the notch-lapel cape in gray wool is a perfect example of this). That's not to say there weren't frills: a geometric appliqué decorated the edges of dresses and a sporty camel bomber jacket, and lace accents appeared on pants, skirts, and sweaters.
The evening pieces carried a little more flounce, attributable to the ruching technique used mainly on skirts, and to the controlled addition of ruffles.

04-04-2009, 12:35 PMLately Ive been consuming as much conservative media as possible (interspersed with shots of Pepto-Bismol) to get a better sense of the mind and mood of the right. My read: Theyre apocalyptic. They feel isolated, angry, betrayed and besieged. And some of their leaders seem to be trying to mold them into militias.
At first, it was entertaining just harmless, hotheaded expostulation. Of course, there were the garbled facts, twisted logic and veiled hate speech. But what did I expect, fair and balanced? It was like walking through an ideological house of mirrors. The distortions can be mildly amusing at first, but if I stay too long it makes me sick.
But, its not all just harmless talk. For some, their disaffection has hardened into something more dark and dangerous. Theyre talking about a revolution.
Some simply lace their unscrupulous screeds with loaded language about the fall of the Republic. We have to rise up and take back our country. Others have been much more explicit.
For example, Chuck Norris, the preeminent black belt and prospective Red Shirt, wrote earlier this month on the conservative blog WorldNetDaily: How much more will Americans take? When will enough be enough? And, when that time comes, will our leaders finally listen or will history need to record a second American Revolution?
Representative Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, imagining herself as some sort of Delacroixian Liberty from the Land of the Lakes, urged her fellow Minnesotans to be armed and dangerous, ready to bust caps over cap-and-trade, I presume.
And between his tears, Glenn Beck, the self-professed rodeo clown, keeps warning of an impending insurrection by saying that he believes that we are heading for depression and revolution and then gaming out that revolution on his show last month. Think the unthinkable he said. Indeed.
All this talk of revolution is revolting, and it hasnt gone unnoticed.
As the comedian Bill Maher pointed out, strong language can poison weak minds, as it did in the case of Timothy McVeigh. (We sometimes forget that not all dangerous men are trained by Al Qaeda.)
At the same time, the unrelenting meme being pushed by the right that Obama will mount an assault on the Second Amendment has helped fuel the panic buying of firearms. According to the F.B.I., there have been 1.2 million more requests for background checks of potential gun buyers from November to February than there were in the same four months last year. Thats 5.5 million requests altogether over that period; more than the number of people living in Bachmanns Minnesota.

Sic Hacer Pace, Para Bellum.
Before you can do things for people, you must be the kind of man who can get things done. But to get things done, you must love the doing, not the people!
Congresswoman Bachman should not be labeled an extremist. She appears to be one of the rational thinking heads in Congress. Norris can be a little extreme, but does care and is getting the word out to the citizens. Glen Beck, well, Glen is Glen. But, he is passionate about his beliefs. He does make some very valid points. And he is no more extreme than a great many Liberal and Socialist commentators.
With Obama refusing Bank paybacks, to maintain control over them. His acceptance of Socialist and Extremist countries. His dumping on our closest allies and his on going march to socialism. We need more people willing to stand up and tell the American people what is happining.

04-05-2009, 01:46 PMA nice little 'tea party' is one thing .I was thinking along the lines of something that the likes of Sam Adams or James Otis would pull !We have ample historical justification for a meeting of grievance to protest this lopsided government and its unlawful actions.
When the Obama 'Peace Police' are organized we will be no doubt be required to 'put they up' as in give them quarters so as to relieve the economic burden from distraction on Obama's Great New Society !The new 'Quartering Act' of 2009 !

Sam Adams would have Ebeneser MacIntosh and his "fight club "out making lifes miserable and tearing down houses.
A new Revolution? I don't believe that the first one was finished by the way this nation libertys under individual rights by the originators of our liberties believes in life, liberty, and property.
The guilt does not lie only in the Democratic party but also with the Republican Party for they both are driving us down the wrong road . It does not matter who the drivers are and whether we drive down the left side or the right side it is still the wrong road.
These authors of our freedoms , these originators of our libertys, the founders would only be thinking
" Why has it taken so long for the people to rise up, resist the nations direction and the tyrannys of bigger more intrusive tax and taking governments from local , state, and Federal ?"
Though I prefer the path of Franklin. Eventually he was left with no other option but to fully support the actions that lead to the Revolution.
The nations needs a transfusion to awaken that long sleeping gene in its DNA the Revolutionary one.
Treason to our framework is what we are living under from governments. If actions must be taken to defeat it then We must make the most of them."When governments boot is on your throat, whether it is the left boot or the right boot is of little consequence." Gary Lloyd
"The evils of tyranny are rarely seen but by him who resist it." John Hay
" As governments grinds us on towards Tyranny in each Intolerable Act, Tea Party members the winds of LIBERTY is the howl in your ears, echoing to the depths of your soul, MARCH IN THE STREETS! RALLY FOR LIBERTY! REBEL!" J Richard Gosnell
It would never start without some voices, major voices. Who can anyone rally around? Newt? not good enuf. We need us an Orator to stir emotions!
Maybe not a one man crew, maybe something like Chuck Norriis, combined with Ted Nugent + Charlie DAniels mixed in with an actual politician that can convey our message! But who would that be?
: Grow your own dope. Plant a liberal.
Obummercare, 20 percent of the time it works everytime.
What is needed is some that have hypnotic powers of speech, sharply speaking clear as a perfect bell.
That can burn your minds, light fires in hearts ,and when they have finished speaking as Patrick Henry, the audience are both spell bound and ready for action.
Changes in terminalogy is essential to say things in a away that is the same as he founders but in terms identified with today or different with the same meaning. It must be a modern attack with the principles intact and potent.
People that have the passion in their believes and resolve and awaken it in the people.
The search must begin now!! Time is grows short."When governments boot is on your throat, whether it is the left boot or the right boot is of little consequence." Gary Lloyd
"The evils of tyranny are rarely seen but by him who resist it." John Hay

Easy homeruns hintIt's easy to get homeruns at the Metrodome (where the Twins play). Just have all of your hitters aim towards right field. T balls will barely clear the fence but because it is so huge, they cannot rob it. This strategy also works at Fenway Park. |
Batting order hintIt is recommended that you have your power hitters first and your weak batters last. When you use your power hitters, try to smash the ball, while your weak hitters are probably fast so do not try to smash it. |
Easy doubles hintTo get doubles consistently, work on your timing enough so that when you hit the ball it says "Perfect". Then, aim your towards the opposite field and hit the ball to have it one hop the wall. The only players that won't make it are the ones with one star for their speed. If you have someone fast (for example, Grady Sizemore), you can even get a triple. |

I just purchased AutoCAD 2014 for Windows at my office and would like to use the cross license to install it on my Mac at home as well.
Unfortunately 2014 for Mac has not been released yet.
Could i use the cross license with the 2013 version for Mac until the 2014 version is released?
Would I use the same number and key as the windows version?
Welcome to the community Paul!
This is definitely possible / as the 2014 license is attached to an active subscription, you would need to request a previous version (2013) license from the Subscription Center. Once obtained, simply download / install the AutoCAD for Mac 2013 software using the 2013 serial number and product key 777E1 to activate.
How to Request a Previous Version License
How to Download Previous Version Software
Please accept as a solution if this fully answers your inquiry, or reply with additional questions as needed.
Do you have any idea when if at all AutoCAD 2014 for Mac will be released?
I have to figure out if I need to change systems so I can use all the features of the 2014 version.
Thank you so much.
Hello. As of today there has been no official announcement as to a 2014 Mac version drop. There is no estimate on when this may occur.
Thank you for taking part in our community!
I am currently using AutoCAD2014 for Windows. With the release of AutoCAD 2014 for MAC, now planning to move to MAC.
Can i use the same serial number to activate AutoCAD 2014 in MAC? I got the details only for AutoCAD 2013 in the below link.
Please advise.
Saravanan P
Welcome to the community Saravanan!
Confirming that you can in fact use your AutoCAD 2014 serial number and product key to Activate AutoCAD for Mac 2014.
I also wanted to point out that per the Autodesk Product Activation FAQ, most license types (excluding educational) allow the software to be installed and activated on 2 separate machines, as long as you are the sole user and the 2 aren't used concurrently. AKA you could in theory have AutoCAD installed on both your Mac and PC at the same time.
Does that help?
Thanks Philip. It clarifies..
You're welcome!
Hi philip,
Downloaded AutoCAD2014 version for MAC. Wrt, licensing request. I can able to get the link only for 2013.

I combined lovely Indian Kantha quilted fabric and denim to create this outsize tunic. Really a bit of a denim sack but its so comfy to wear, I love the contrast of the fabrics, and the cocoon shape feels pretty trendy too. I omitted the back seam and made a 38 (rather than a 40) as other people had recommended. Glad I didn't go any smaller especially in this slightly stiffer fabric. Initially wondering if I really liked it, I now know I love it and have already worn this lots. You can read a bit more here

Merle Oberon (19 February 1911 – 23 November 1979) was an Anglo-Indian actress. She began her film career in British films as Anne Boleyn in The Private Life of Henry VIII (1933). After her success in The Scarlet Pimpernel (1934), she travelled to the United States to make films for Samuel Goldwyn. She was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in The Dark Angel (1935). A traffic collision in 1937 caused facial injuries that could have ended her career, but she soon followed this with her most renowned performance in Wuthering Heights (1939). Throughout her adult life, in order to conceal her Indian heritage she maintained the fiction that she was born in Tasmania, Australia; the year before she died she finally admitted this story was not true, and records located since her death have confirmed her true origin.

Today I get to share with you some information about the Westin Riverfront Mountain Villas at Beaver Creek Mountain in Avon, Colorado. I have already shared some info about planning the trip and the process of traveling with a toddler to Beaver Creek, but now is where it really starts to get good. If you want to play catch-up, or look ahead to future posts in this series, here is a rundown of what to expect:

Deciding to Stay an Extra Day While on Vacation
What Happens When Your Whole Family Misses Their Flight
When we were planning this trip, I really had a hard time deciding which type of room would be better for our family. I didn't know of if the villas or the hotel would be the best fit. On the one hand, we certainly like to be pampered a bit while on vacation, but on the other hand the studios in the villas seemed to make sense for a young family. Ultimately availability decided for us. We were traveling on SPG points and could only get availability at the villas one day and the resort one day, so we got a chance to try both lodging options. While I was not exactly thrilled to move rooms each night, I was excited to see both types of rooms. The Villas were going for 16,000 SPG points or around $400-$450 for a studio suite for the night we were there.
Check-in happens at the same desk for both the resort and the villas. We were informed that while staying at the villas you can either use the valet for $25 per night or you can self park for $20 per night. We were told when we move to the resort that self-park is no longer an option. We decided to just use the valet for both nights. I do want to point out that according to the website, there are also no complimentary upgrades available for the villas, even for SPG Platinum members. The villas are one of SPG's vacation rental/timeshare properties, so things operate a little differently than for the hotels. We explained at check-in that we were moving from the villas to the hotel the next day and they said that late check-out would not be a problem. In fact, we were able to leave our things in our villa until 4PM. That was extremely helpful.
The only part of the check-in process that was a bit confusing was when it came time for the front desk agent to give us directions to our studio suite. They went something like this: "go back down the hall past the front door, turn right at the elevator, veer left, go outside, walk toward the front of the property, look for a door on the other building, go through the entry way, down the elevator, and through the hallway". Um, what?! We tried, got lost, came back, tried again, got lost, asked someone for help, got lost, asked someone else, and finally found it. We were tired and carrying a 30lb toddler, so it was not the ideal way to start our time at the resort. If it is that complicated, I highly recommend providing a map or someone to help you find your room the first time.
What really threw us off was that after we got off the elevator, we were in the parking garage. We actually thought we were lost, when we really weren't. It was very weird walking through a seemingly underground parking garage to get to your room. My husband said, "Guess that is where they put you when you use points here….."
After we finally determined we were actually supposed to be in the parking garage, we finally found the last long hallway and made our way into our room. I have to admit I was a bit apprehensive about what a room off of the parking garage was going to look like.
The Studio Suite Living Area:
I was relieved when I opened the door to our studio and saw that we weren't actually in the basement. We were now just on the ground floor. The view from the patio was actually quite nice and it felt great to finally be in our room! C bolted straight towards the bed.
While the bed was very comfortable, it was nowhere near big enough for all three of us. So, C and I took the bed while my husband reluctantly slept on the pull-out couch. Our toddler is done with sleeping in hotel cribs, but she isn't quite ready to sleep by herself in a bed either. We're in an awkward "transition" when faced with determining her sleep location. So, our sleeping arrangements weren't ideal, but they worked for the night.
Once we got settled into our room, we went for our first night swim a the hotel pool. The pool and hot tubs are heated, and it was just so much fun. I will say it is quite a hike from the villas to the pool, but as I posted about here, we had a blast. I will talk more about the pools in a later post. After our swim, we were wiped out and just ordered room service.
I will say that it is so nice when we stay in rooms or suites that have a dining table. I don't mind just eating on the bed if it is just me, but with kiddos it is far more practical to have a table to sit at!
We ordered a kid's chicken and vegetable meal and a meat lover's pizza. Both were totally decent, but I was a bit surprised to see brussel sprouts on the plate. Not my favorite. Yuck! The mushrooms were really good though.
The Kitchen:
While we are on the topic of food, this studio suite does have a kitchen, so if you wanted to cook your own food you could save a lot of money over the course of your trip. Our trip really wasn't long enough for us to want to bother with cooking, but it is a great way to save on longer trips. We did make good use of the refrigerator to store milk for C.
The Bathroom:
When you walked into the bathroom area, the sink and tub/shower were on the right-hand side and the toilet was on the left-hand side of the bathroom area. It was nice to have a little extra space and separation from the tub and the toilet. Taking a toddler to the bathroom is a full contact sport, so extra room is appreciated.
While we were on the timeshare presentation (more on that in a later post), I snapped a quick picture of the bathroom from the one-bedroom suite. The one-bedroom suite at the villas was nicer and more spacious than the junior suite, and the bathroom reflected that difference.
The Washer/Dryer:
There is one in the room. It works. Laundry detergent was provided. We used it.
Overall Impression:
The Westin Riverfront Villas at Beaver Creek Mountain was enjoyable for our one-night stay. The room was clean, functional, well-maintained, etc… But, I do have to admit that while the stay was absolutely fine, the room wasn't exciting for us. For 16,000 SPG points, I guess we were hoping for something a little bit more luxurious. Call us snobs, but that's just the truth. I'm sure part of it had to do with how far away the room was located from many of the amenities that we enjoyed. We also didn't like how small the bed was. If you get a one-bedroom, those are a step better than the studio suites.
However, even if the bed had been bigger and the room had been closer, it still just didn't feel "magical" the way that some rooms and suites do. Okay, now I know I sound super crazy. The studio suites aren't bad by any stretch of the imagination, but we just enjoyed our room at the resort more. I'll talk more about that room in the next post in this series, so that you can determine which property looks better suited to your family's travel preferences.
9 Responses to "Review: The Westin Riverfront Mountain Villas at Beaver Creek"
We stayed here on our SPG free resort night last summer as a baby free getaway and enjoyed it. Guess a free night sets expectations differently :).
My Wife and I use to stay at this location at least once a year. The Villas share amenities with the adjacent Westin hotel which has a fantastic restaurant and fun infinity Jacuzzis that look up the valley. SPG elite members should be aware they are inflexible on upgrades (which they make clear on their website), but also inflexible on simply changing rooms (ADA room which I don't care for and they would not accommodate a change, not an upgrade, a change… causing an early check-out).
Afterwards, I had additional charges which took a corporate intervention for response. I did eventually get correctly credited, but time invested and their inflexibility really soured me on the location.
We stay here and the Sheraton and for the price the Sheraton was much better. The villas suck but did get the 50k points to tell them no on the time share.
Stayed there with a buddy of mine… his folks are one of the timeshare owners, but actually on the hotel side. I did do the timeshare tour though and got 10,000 SPG points just for waking up after a night of tomfoolery and letting the sales lady do her pitch.
I think you guys don't get it when you mention that there are no room upgrades or changes (even for platinums)Each one of these units is owned. The only way a specific room is available for "rent" is when a timeshare owner can't use their week and decides to try making some money and so makes their unit available for "rent". What you see on the SPG website is just like answering a "for rent" ad in a newspaper-just one specific unit. And if the going rate now is 16000 SPG points for the Villas and the hotel is only 12000 SPG points I would say that you overpaid.
Sounds like the Marriott Vacation Club villas are more luxurious than the Westin (which doesn't surprise me — there are waaayyyy more properties). In our last one, we had jacuzzi tubs, private porch, tons of space, etc., etc….
You mention being at an awkward sleeping phase for C. For our 3 year old, we have a miniature size air mattress that we bring to hotels. It even has raised edges to help keep them from rolling off in the night.
Interior looks like room I had at Westin Verasa Napa.
Sounds like Rick beat me to the punch, but I was also going to suggest buying a Kids Aerobed. We've used our tons on vacation trips or trips to the grandparents when cousins are also joining us and sleeping space is limited. In fact, when the kids get sick we set it up in the living room as their special place to sleep, watch tv, or whatever will make them feel better. Much easier to clean up in case … well, you know.

Building, Packing and Firing Saggars
Posted By Joan Carcia On March 24, 2008 @ 3:35 pm In Daily,Firing Techniques,Gas Kiln Firing | 4 Comments
Reading, Massachusetts, ceramic artist Joan Carcia delights in the fact that she never quite knows how each of her saggar-fired vessels will turn out. She can influence the results, but there is always an element of surprise in the outcome. That is the most exciting part, she says.
This week, we will take a look at how Carcia uses terra sigillata, vegetation, oxides and salts to make her vividly colored work. – Jennifer Harnetty, editor.
I handbuild my saggars using coils or slabs. I find the best saggars are about 2 inches wider and 2-3 inches deeper than the piece being fired. This allows for 1 inch of packing material around the piece and 1-1 1/2 inches at the bottom and top. Often, I will put one pot within another, letting the larger pot act as a saggar for the smaller pot. For large saggars I make the wall about 1/2 inch thick. Smaller saggars can have a thinner wall. Saggars built from raku clay last longer, and saggars built in the same shape as the piece enhance the outcome.
The materials I use when packing saggars are green hay, salt-marsh hay, sawdust, seaweed, straw, salt, and sometimes flower stems and petals. I mix the salt-marsh hay and sawdust with copper carbonate, cobalt carbonate, yellow ochre and iron oxide. I put a bed of materials on the bottom of the saggar and place small crucibles (made of clay) containing salt around the bottom. Then I either place the pot in and gently put other materials around the side of the pot, or wrap and tie materials in place around the pot using copper wire, reed or even string and then place it into the saggar. Materials are then placed on top and the saggar is covered.
I fire the saggars in a gas kiln, raising the temperature slowly as the materials burn. The fumes produced during the firing get absorbed into the porous pot, and the results are the colorful visual designs and tactile markings on the pots. It should take about 6 1/2 hours to get to the desired temperature of Cone 012, firing in oxidation. Reduction takes place within the saggars as combustible materials use the available oxygen.

Gear Review
Great upgrade for the CAD/Double Agent fan
The Hefe is replacing the CAD/Double agent as that high end super responsive binding. When I say super responsive I am not kidding, it's stiff.
The Highback has the same shape as the CAPO highback but it's a lot stiffer but does have a slight torsional flex. The ankle strap is what you found on the CAD, you can adjust it to what ever flex you like. So that can take back some of the response if you don't want a crazy amount all of the time.
The infinity tray is much more adjustable than what you found on the CAD or Double Agent and you can really dial in the fit to your boots.
Many of you will love the case that the bindings come in as well. You can take the tray out and it turns into a nice case you can throw your boots in or all you shit like goggles, lenses, gloves, beanies, etc... It's vented so they won't get all stinky or in the spring when you trudge through muddy parking lots you can toss your boots in and not get the mud all over your car.
Again, if you're a fan of the CAD or Double agent or you just like really responsive bindings you'll love the new El Hefe.
