Anon-Isn't it refreshing that she didn't run to her derm to get a botox in her forehead? She's not much of an actress, but I like her personality.

I am not sure that Doritos are her secret to looking so svelte, but it is nice that she indulges in some junk food.

2014 NAB SHOW, Booth SL8511
Aspera, Inc. (http://www.asperasoft.com/), an IBM Company and creators of next-generation software technologies that move the world's large data at maximum speed, expanded its partner ecosystem with new joint solutions powered by Aspera FASP™ high-speed transport technology.
New partners choosing Aspera FASP (http://asperasoft.com/technology/transport/fasp/) as their transport of choice include both established and startup cloud platform, software and service providers; workflow automation, processing and transformation technology vendors; and leading providers of media production, storage, publishing and distribution platforms. These new partnerships further expand Aspera's partnership network enabling broader access to its high-speed transfer technology and deeper integration into media workflows.
Cloud Storage
With Aspera On Demand, Aspera is the first in the world to offer seamless, high-speed transfers of very large media files and sets of files directly to and from cloud storage, enabling a new breed of media applications and services. The Aspera high-speed transfer platform–as-a-service now supports IBM SoftLayer (http://www.softlayer.com/), Google Cloud Platform (https://cloud.google.com/) and OpenStack (https://www.openstack.org/), in addition to Amazon Web Services (http://aws.amazon.com/) and Windows Azure (https://www.windowsazure.com/).
The Aspera software platform tightly integrates with cloud-based storage, accelerating the transfer of content with unmatched speed, reliability and predictability at any distance. This includes embedded capabilities for content security, user authentication, browsing and access control across all major cloud and enterprise storage platforms. Organizations now have access to the broadest set of infrastructure choices as more digital media workflows migrate to the cloud.
Content Distribution
Leading content distribution networks Akamai (http://www.akamai.com/), Level 3 (http://www.level3.com/) and Limelight (http://www.limelight.com/) have all made Aspera's high-speed transfer technology available in their infrastructure to shorten the time it takes to ingest content. Aspera transfer clients provide native support for connections to the platforms directly in the graphical user interface (GUI) for a seamless user experience.
At NAB, Akamai and Aspera will showcase the recently announced general availability of Aspera Upload Acceleration to NetStorage, which features deep integration of Aspera FASP technology with Akamai NetStorage. The new offering allows media companies to upload digital assets at extreme speed to Akamai's cloud-based online storage platform from any global location, independent of network latency and packet loss. It includes embedded security, bandwidth control and seamless integration with existing Aspera workflows.
Media services in the Cloud
Aspera's FASP technology is enabling a new breed of cloud-based software and service providers to capture, analyze, process, transform and store media. With the addition of the new Aspera Byte-Stream API (http://asperasoft.com/technology/transport/fasp-byte-stream-api/), media streaming and content transcoding companies are integrating the FASP technology within their processing engines. This enables them to transfer content to the cloud for real-time, on-demand transfer and streaming from growing file sources and transcode while an upload is still in progress.
Aspera FASP technology embedded in Sony Media Cloud Services Ci (https://www.sonymcs.com/) platform enables high-speed transfer of full-resolution media to and from the cloud. The combined solution makes it simple for people to assemble teams online, work on projects and access files from locations around the world. Demonstrations will be available at the Aspera Booth SL8511 and Sony Booth C11001.
Innovative companies such as Brightcove / Zencoder (http://www.brightcove.com/), Elemental (http://www.elementaltechnologies.com/), encoding.com (http://www.encoding.com/), FilmTrack (http://filmtrack.net/), thePlatform (http://theplatform.com/), VHX (https://www.vhx.tv/), Vizrt (http://www.vizrt.com/) and Windows Azure Media Services (http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/services/media-services/) will be showcasing products at NAB that integrate Aspera for high-speed transfer and distribution. These offerings are enabling new media management and transformation services used in production and post-production.
In addition, start-up CloudCam will demonstrate a new solution that captures and transfers video from a user's mobile device to the cloud using Aspera FASP for real-time streaming over the web to social networks.
Content Production
New Aspera-powered high-speed transfers into Grass Valley® GV STRATUS® (http://www.grassvalley.com/products/gv_stratus) production tools will be on display in Booth SL206, dramatically shortening content ingest times and enabling faster, more effective production workflows.
Mediabank (http://www.netwerk.no/products-services-medianetwerk/mediabank-medianetwerk) cloud applications combined with the Aspera high-speed transfer boosts global collaboration and distribution in media production, enabling rapid turnaround and cost-effective digital transfer.
The new Aspera Plug-in for Microsoft SharePoint will be on display in the Aspera Booth SL8511 and in the Microsoft Booth SL5110. The FASP-powered plug-in eliminates SharePoint size limitations while dramatically speeding uploads and downloads. It also enables distributed SharePoint deployments with content stored both on-premise and in cloud.
The Aspera plug-in for Avid (http://asperasoft.com/software/transfer-clients/aspera-plug-in-for-avid/) enables high-performance transfers between remote Avid editing environments with seamless integration across broadcast, sports and film production. The plug-in was used by NBC News to transfer digital media from Sochi to various news bureaus reporting on the Winter Games (http://www.tvtechnology.com/article/file-based-news-production-arrives-/268946).
The Aspera-powered EVS C-Cast (http://www.evs.com/product/c-cast) system on display in EVS Booth SL3819 captures and transfers video at high speed from all cameras in a multi-camera production to C-Cast Central. They are then transcoded and made available for distribution within minutes for a rich, interactive, multi-screen experience.
Telestream Vantage (http://www.telestream.net/vantage/overview.htm) workflows include an Aspera faspex plug-in for secure, high-speed file transfer for unified and automated Vantage workflows.
Content Protection
The new Aspera extension for Fortium's Media Seal (http://www.fortiumtech.com/mediaseal-integrated-security-for-professional-authoring-systems.aspx) secures high value content with multi-layered security and hardware encryption in advance of transfer to ensure that only the intended recipients can open distributed files.
Content Management
Media asset management applications MediaBeacon (http://www.mediabeacon.com/gwtmain/GwtMain.html#!NoLoginPortal;p=4DFAE6F0-499A-405B-8416-D06AD34843CF;) and Harmonic Media Asset Server (http://www.harmonicinc.com/product/mas), Vidispine (http://www.vidispine.com/) and SilverTrak (http://silvertracsoftware.com/) are showcasing Aspera integration to move file-based media securely at high speed into and out of their repositories.
IBM will demonstrate Aspera FASP-powered high-speed file-based workflows and archiving of media files to the IBM SoftLayer cloud orchestrated by the IBM Archive and Essence Manager (AREMA).
High-performance Enterprise Storage and Networking
F5 (https://f5.com/) and Aspera introduced new co-validation of FASP protocol support within F5's load-balancing products.
Scality (http://www.scality.com/) will introduce Aspera transfer integration with Scality's massively scalable RING storage solution and the RING's file-based access methods.
Aspera's software is also shipping with EMC Isilon OneFS (http://www.emc.com/storage/isilon/isilon-onefs-operating-system.htm) operating system, with Isilon scale-out NAS delivering an integrated solution able to transfer and store file assets with the extreme performance and reliability of scale-out NAS across high-latency and low-bandwidth networks.
NetApp (http://www.netapp.com/us/) and Aspera are presenting joint solution best practice in the NetApp booth for media customers that rely on Aspera high-speed transport with NetApp scale out storage.
Workflow Automation
The Aspera Orchestrator file-based workflow automation platform includes new plug-ins supporting Evertz Mediator (http://www.evertz.com/workflow/mediator/), Handbrake (http://handbrake.fr/) and Pulsar (http://pulsarplatform.com/), bringing the number of third-party plug-ins to more than 50. In addition, Orchestrator offers full support for validation of file format standards such as MXF, AS-11 and DPP and FIMS, an emerging specification for interoperable media components and services.
New inline file validation allows pre- and post-transfer validation of media files and metadata according to the DPP, AS-11 and CableLabs standards. The new API is available as part of Aspera's latest Enterprise Server 3.4. The API also allows for invoking workflows in Aspera Orchestrator or otherthird party applications.
Aspera software and partner integrations will be demonstrated at NAB 2014 booth SL8511.

Most grandparents babysit and provide financial support for grandkids as they try to save their children money and build stronger family connections, two new studies show.
A University of Chicago analysis of a decade of data based on interviews with 13,614 grandparents, ages 50 and older, finds that 61 percent of grandparents provided at least 50 hours a year of care for grandchildren at least one year between 1998 and 2008; 70 percent provided care for two years or more. The data are from a longitudinal survey collected every two years since 1992 by the University of Michigan. Findings are in the Journal of Family Issues.
Another survey of a nationally representative sample of 1,008 grandparents ages 45 and older, suggests similar findings. The online research was done in April for the MetLife Mature Market Institute and the nonprofit Generations United, an intergenerational policy group.
Among the findings: 59 percent have at least one grandchild within 50 miles; 39 percent have one more than 500 miles away; 62 percent have provided financial support to grandchildren in the past five years, averaging $8,289, primarily for investments and education; 74 percent babysit or provide care weekly.
Donna Butts, executive director of Generations United, in Washington, D.C., says grandparents who provide care do so because "they want to, and because of the economy." "Grandparents are being asked to help financially and relieve the financial burden of child care, by taking care of their grandchildren," she says. "They have a tendency to be healthier and want to be involved in their grandchildren's lives. They're not as interested in moving away from their families. If anything, they would move to be closer to their grandchildren."

Help identifying my couch?
I have this vintage couch and it is in pretty rough shape right now. I have been working with someone to get it reupholster and it isn't going to be cheap.
I was wondering if anyone can identify it, age, maker? I am trying to determine if it is worth the investment.
I am not really sure, but when it comes to this style of upholstery, you are probably better off getting something new, unless there is some sentimental value to the couch. Otherwise it's really not worth it, you not only looking at re-upholstery but also at changing out the foam. Depending on the age of the sofa, you also have it full of bacteria and who knows what.
Thanks for the advice. The plan was to take to the frame and redo it all. Looking at $1500-$2000 to do it. I love the shape of the couch so we will probably do it. Just can't find anything modern that looks as good with all the Danish Modern stuff we already own.

'The Hunger Games' Pulls In $155 Million To Land Third Biggest Opening Ever
Picture: Jennifer Lawrence New York Premiere of 'The Hunger Games' at the SVA Theater - Arrivals New York City, USA - 20.03.12
Everyone was expecting it, but the opening weekend success of 'The Hunger Games' is still something to be lauded with the film taking a whopping $155 million dollars at the U.S. Box Office, making it the third-best debut ever, only behind the $169.2 million achieved by the Harry Potter finale last year and the 2008 Batman movie 'The Dark Knight.'
However, as The Press Association points out, both those films were part of hugely popular franchises already. 'The Hunger Games,' then, is the highest grossing non-sequel in history beating its rival 'The Twilight Saga' which 'only' took in $69.6 million during its opening weekend back in November 2008.
However, a note of caution for those getting too carried away as the film didn't quite achieve the worldwide success many had anticipated, taking only $59.3 million across 67 other markets including the UK, Germany, France, Russia and Australia. The film sees a glittering cast of young and older actors mix in a classy sci-fi adaptation of Suzanne Collins' novel which sees 24 youths forced to compete in a televised death match in a post-apocalyptic North American society. A bit like 'Battle Royale' then really. Among the stars of the film are Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Woody Harrelson whilst the sound track features Arcade Fire and TAYLOR SWIFT.

Best Gym Deal (2004)
Dumbbells: A Fitness Club
The wait for machines and the posturing at those big fitness centers is enough reason to skip the gym altogether. And the steam-room culture -- and price -- of Denver's elite clubs isn't much better. But at Dumbbells, $50 a month for singles and $80 for couples buys you access to a clean, well-maintained weight room with little to no wait (except during lunch), yoga and aerobics classes, locker rooms fully stocked with lotions, potions and hairdryers, a juice bar, and a staff that's excited about fitness -- not just about getting your money. Plus, there's the "Just Show Up" incentive: Come fifteen times in the first six weeks of membership, and the club will refund you $25. Sure, you'll have to skip the steam room, but Dumbbells makes up for it with an even more rare amenity: free two-hour parking in the Tabor Center garage.

Was spot on most of the time http://burnoutempire.blogspot.ca/
When I saw the graph the first thing I thought was that it made perfect sense. Back when Goldman made the original pitch for its commodities index that sparked a frenzy in the commodities market the main benefit was the little correlation between the GSCI and the other markets and thus diversification benefits for portfolio managers. Of course it turned out that during recessionary periods the correlation turned very, very positive and thus these diversification benefits did not do what they were supposed to do - protect the investments. In any case, now that the US recovery seems all but imminent (it could be faster, but I don't think anyone doubts it), it makes sense for them to become less correlated.
The huge transformative breakthrough of the decade was not the Higgs Boson, iPhone, iPad, electric car, robot car, Twitter, Facebook or eCommerce.
The Big Breakthrough was under the radar and poorly publicized:
Fracking and Horizontal Drilling leading to the discovery of Saudi-sized hydrocarbon reserves in North America.
It will lead to profits that can finally pay off the American Debt.
And it may also end of the War on Terror as the technology allows disengagement from the Arab World.
God loves the ______________. He gave them all the Oil.
Perhaps it is possible that commodities reflect a worldwide deflationary process and that equities are artificially held aloft because of central bank inflationary policies. Commodities "are" real, shares are abstract. It is easier to distort the value of abstract entities by manipulating the currency.
In another word, investors can't hedge against future inflation through the commodities market in the medium run, because at some point they would have take the physical delivery. That makes some sense, although the stalling of gold prices seems to argue against such an explanation.
Last year, the corporation authorized share buybacks worth $477 billion. This year, it's project to go over $800 billion at the current pace. That's a lot of equity taken out of the market.
Looks mostly like the convergence was a new feature. While the variables might not be perfect, when you compare the S&P 500 to the Producer Price Index for All Commodities, you see the divergence spike right after the mid-70s oil shock recession and the early 80s recession, and then generally being all over the place between 1995 and 2005.
Could this have anything to do with the advent of negative real interest rates and the desperate attempts of investors to find higher yields - demand for equities. This is juxtaposed with falling demand for commodities in the real economy (commodities). looks like QE is the culprit after all - http://getwd50.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/mark-carney-can-wipe-slate-clean.html
This is essentially what you're saying about North American oil production, but could it not be true of other commodities? The soaring prices of various metals prior to the crash have resulted in a glut of new production coming online a few years later?
In some cases yes, but unlike the boom in north american oil (but more importantly gas), mines for copper or iron can be scaled back to better match demand expectations, in some cases closing the mine until prices pick back up. This of course is effected by how many 'big' players there are in the industry. Names like BHP, Vale, and Rio Tinto come to mind.

Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Revealing the Mysteries of Red Wine Color provides an overview of new discoveries to a venerable unsolved problem in wine: the chemistry of red wine color. Topics in this book include initial must composition, non-covalent associations, reactions that occur during fermentation and in a young wine as well as those compositional changes that occur during aging.
Revealing the Mysteries of Red Wine Color also includes a brief history of the rapidly advancing area of wine chemistry. The latest results, utilizing liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry techniques newly applied to wine, define many colored substances in wine. Since this book integrates much of our current understanding on red wine color, it is unique. Also, since red wine color is considered a key to red wine quality, it has much relevance beyond appealing to specialists in the field. As such, this book will appeal to a wide audience including wine industry professionals, analytical and natural product chemists, and wine aficionados, hobbyists, and consumers with a probing interest in the science of wine.
Book News Annotation:
In 17 papers from a symposium at the 2003 meeting of the Society in New Orleans, chemists continue their long investigation into what makes red wine red. Their topics include the yeast-mediated formation of pigmented polymers in red wine, the variation in the color due to copigmentation in young Cabernet Sauvignon, new pigments produced in red wines through different enological processes, and matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionizion time-of-flight mass spectrometry of anthocyanin-polyflavan-3-ol oligomers in cranberry fruit and spray-dried cranberry juice. Distributed in the US by Oxford University Press.

Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
17 May 2013 19:24 GMT | Middle East, Iraq
Two bombs near a Sunni mosque north of Baghdad have killed 40 people and injured dozens, police say, after two days of attacks targeting Iraqi Shia Muslims in which dozens died.
One bomb exploded on Friday as worshippers were departing the Saria mosque in the city of Baquba while a second went off after people gathered at the scene of the first blast, police said.
The violence raises the spectre of tit-for-tat killings common during the height of sectarian violence in Iraq that killed tens of thousands of people, and comes at a time of festering sectarian tensions between Iraq's Sunni minority and Shia majority.
Television aired footage of bodies on the ground outside the mosque, pools of blood and scattered shoes of the victims.
"I was about 30 metres from the first explosion. When the first exploded, I ran to help them, and the second one went off. I saw bodies flying and I had shrapnel in my neck," said Hashim Munjiz, a college student, at the site.
No group claimed responsibility for the attack.
'Sectarian strife'
Al Jazeera's Omar al-Saleh, reporting from Erbil, said it was estimated that 90 to 100 people had been killed in the past three days in Iraq.
"The worrying factor in all of this is the nature of the attacks," he said.
"You have attacks on Shia worshippers, you have attacks on Sunni worshippers so it appears that whoever is behind those attacks wants to ignite sectarian strife."
Elsewhere on Friday, a roadside bomb exploded near a funeral procession for a Sunni man in Madain south of Baghdad, killing eight people and wounding at least 25 others, security and medical officials said.
And in the northern city of Kirkuk, a government employee and one of his relatives were killed, police and a doctor said.
The bombings were the latest in a series of attacks, in the last two days targeting Shias.
On Thursday, a suicide bomber killed 12 people at the entrance of Al-Zahraa Husseiniyah, a Shia place of worship in the city of Kirkuk, where relatives of victims from violence the day before were receiving condolences.
Car bombs also hit three Shia-majority areas of Baghdad on Thursday, killing 10 people, while 21 people died in a series of bombings that mainly hit Shia areas of the capital the day before.
Armed men also shot dead the brother of a Sunni MP in Baghdad on Thursday.
"It's an indication that security conditions are really going downhill in this country," our correspondent said.
"There is a huge and growing sense of fear among Iraqis."
According to the United Nations, April was Iraq's bloodiest month for almost five years, with 712 people killed.

Historical Traveler Reviews Ettington Chase Hotel Stratford-upon-Avon
What a great find
I have just spent a very relaxing weekend at Ettington chase. The facilities are excellent value for money.
The buffet breakfast and leisure facilities are superb. I could not fault the staff they were both friendly and attentive. This is my first stay at Ettington chase and i will definatly be returning.
Beautiful Surroundings
I stayed at Ettington Chase for a weekend away and immediately upon arrival was impressed by the scenic grounds in which it is situated. The staff were all more than willing to help and the leisure facilities, food and overall atmosphere were all out of this world. I would definately have no hesitations in returning.
Institution in the middle of nowhere!
We found the hotel lacking in character and more like an institution. Our double bedroom was small, with the bed pushed up against one wall causing me to have to crawl up the bed to get in!
The breakfast was adequate but the restaurant impersonal with everyone sharing huge circular tables. On arrival we were told that the restaurant was closed for the weekend. Bar snacks were available in the bar area but tables to eat on were in short supply. We had to eat over the road at the Chequers Inn which fortunately saved the weekend as it was excellent!
The leisure facilities available were its saving grace, but if you were here for a romamtic weekend, forget it! Boring conference weekend? Perfect!
Clean, friendly and spacious.
Set in enormous, well-kept grounds, this hotel is actually a conference centre as well. It therefore lacks a little character, but is clean, friendly and has a swimming pool, sauna and jacuzzi, as well as a therapy centre for massage etc. It is 5 minutes walk from the village of Ettington, where there are 2 nice traditional pubs, serving good food...one is Chequers and one is the White Lion.
Comfortable beds, clean, overly powered shower which kind of sand-blasts you clean, TV, tea and coffee making facilities (ie kettle and cups and spoons!).
Very nice buffet style breakfast.
Cost me �60 per night for a double room in Sept 2005.
Decent conference venue
As a conference centre, which would seem to be its primary role, Ettington Chase is excellent: good facilities, good service, good food.
As a hotel? Less impressive. Bedrooms are relatively large, quite comfortable, but pretty spartan - think slightly-more-upmarket Travelodge, and you wouldn't be far wide of the mark. And the overall ambience (full of often large and loud conference groups) would certainly detract from it if you were travelling independently.
Great rooms & facilities, ambiance may disappoint the unwarned
This is a conference centre, with the good rooms and facilities of a plush modern hotel, but with the larger size and slightly impersonal ambiance of a conference centre. It is clean, well-maintained and decorated, with extensive lanscaped grounds.
We stayed one weekend night (without kids, I should say) and were very impressed, albeit we didn't eat in - we drove 10 mins to the Thai Boathouse restaurant just to the left of the A422 before it reaches the river bridge when entering Stratford.
Our room was in the large, brick-built accommodation block adjoining the old mansion. We liked being able to head straight into the accommodation block without having to pass through the reception, bar etc every time. The room was large without being huge, the en-suite was modern and functional, the bed was large and ultra-comfortable, the room was nicely furnished and well equipped with basic tea/coffee making (no minibar), trouser press, sat tv. Personally, I would only be disappointed with Ettington Chase if I was looking for some special romantic pampering (for that I would look to Rhinefield Manor nr Brockenhurst) and would consider it a good bet in all other cases.
We booked via laterooms, and got a bargain....as cheap as a lodge room, and with breakfast and leisure facilities included. It would have been a reasonable price at 2x what we paid.
It's useful to know in advance that the main gate is signed "Ettington Chase Conference Centre", particularly as the entry/exit barriers are controlled by intercom!
Great place to stay
We recently stayed at Ettington and had a fantastic time, excellent value for money considering all the amneities available and the brilliant breakfast. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and we will definately be returning
Excellent hotel
I stayed at this hotel for a weekend in October-04 and would highly recommend it for a relaxing weekend.
It's true that this hotel does have a slightly impersonal feel to it due to the sheer expanse of the place (it's huge!). However, you can't fault it for comfort and the amenities (pool, snooker tables, gym are superb). The breakfasts were out of this world, but expect to share your table with lots of others!
It's an easy 10-minute drive into Stratford-upon-Avon, so a good base for exploring the area.
Great staff - friendly hotel
This hotel is clearly geared towards conferences and as long as you take that on board this is a great hotel. The bar was not open when we arrived but they quickly and happily arranged drinks for us, the restaurant was not open on the Friday and Saturday evening which for us was not a problem as we had been warned that might be the case and we had planned to eat out anyway, however other guests that had come for a weekend leisure break were clearly disappointed.The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and comfortable with large beds, the leisure facilities are wonderful and the breakfast is very tasty and plentiful. A good spot for exploring Stratford and the surrounding area but peaceful if you do not want to be in the hub of it all. Would I stay here again? Yes
Not Child Friendly!
Ettington Chase is a nice conference hotel.Good facilities etc BUT try booking a room at the weekend when they cater for families having a night or two away when they do not have conferences going on and although they make a point of saying they have superb leisure facilities ie pool etc Children are not allowed to use them. They dont tell you that until you have arrived. appalling!!!
Do not use this establishment

Sharing Virco Successes
Hi All,
I thought it would be nice to share cooking experiences with our new Virco Grills. I bought mine on May 6, see post under "NEW Stainless Grill at Costco (virco), and as promised here is my follow up on cooking.
After one month of use I still just love it. The first few things I cooked were fatty items Like hamberger & brats. I did this to "season" the grill. Then I cooked many delicate things like fish and vegi's. All came out perfect, No over cooking or dryness due to hot spots- that has always been a problem for me in the past. Last week end i cooked a huge sirloin roast 10+ pounds. I made a dry rub of Seasoned salt, garlic, black pepper, rosemary, onion powder. I let it stand for a couple hours, then I threw it on the pre-heated grill 450-500 degrees for 15-20 mins. This is to sear the out side. When the grill got to temp. I accually turned off the center burner but keep the left and right one on. I did this so i would not burn the bottom. After the 15-20 minutes, I then turned dow the heat to 300 degrees. 2 hours later it was done to medium. The top was down, and there was no flare ups or hot spots. I never had to adjust the burners after it turned it down. I let it rest for 30 minutes, The roast was pink inside but not bloody. I was good.
For the people asking why did I do a roast, I live in AZ, the temp. here is 109 last weekend and I did not want to use the oven inside the house. Now that this roasting experience went so well I will be cooking/roasting alot more.
Hi Mark - Don't have time to share my successes right now, but will say EVERYTHING has been a success.
I'd like to ask a few questions tho'. Are you using an internal thermometer? Yes - right?
Also, what position are your dials in to get the 300 degree mark? I know it will be different on an individual basis - but I was thinking of making a roast soon and would like to get in the realm a bit.
Sounds yummy - I pretty much intend to do most of my cooking on the grill.
What I'd LOVE to be able to do is Stirfry. I'd think that one of those 20k BTU burners could do the job properly far more than my current stove. However - I'd have to rig up something to get the wok lower towards the flame. Haven't quite thought it through yet but was thinking if I could somehow place a grate of sorts right over the burners but not supported by the burners themselves? LOL I'm taking suggestions!
Hello msephens86.
I am glad to hear you arble to reach a variety of temps with the VIRCO, and not have any hot/cold spots.
What is the max temp you can reach with this unit? is 260 the lowest sustained temp you have? (not that it needs to be lower)
I like what I am hearing about the VIRCO, I just want to make sure it has a good heat variation ~250-600+ degrees is the range I am looking for. A good hot grill to sear a steak, and then low temps for some inderect cooking.
Do you have any trouble with hot/cold spots? How much area do you loose around the edges of the cooking grids? I know some grills excel in this area, while other you loose a good amount of cooking area.
Thanks for any information you might have on this.
Max temp has been just over 550, that with all three burners on high for 30 mins. Maybe if I turn on the rotisorie burner I could get higher.
NO HOT SPOTS OR FLARE UPS- very happy
I'm sure there is some loss around the edges, but I dont know how much. Minimal.
good luck.
I cooked a huge batch of wings for appetizers and had them placed on the edges - the VERY edges. Almost touching the side walls.
I wouldn't say they were EXACTLY like the ones in the middle, but certainly close enough where I was able to avoid rotating things around the grill.
I'm sure if they were perhaps an inch or 2 away from the endwalls, there wouldn't have been any difference at all.
I was worried about that also because with our old grill, we had to constantly rotate/move everything around to both avoid hot spots and deal with the diminished cooking around the edges. It's certainly not fun to have to babysit the BBQ every second.
Costco didn't have the remote digital thermometer. I'm pretty dissapointed as well as perplexed they don't have them right now.
FYI for all you Costco/Virco skeptics.
First, thanks for the info on the temp! I appreciate it. I would assume that temp is from the hood thermometer, so the actual grate temp would vary slightly.
Last night I wanted to check this grill out first hand, so I went to my local costco where they had 6 on hand (hawaii, if you are wondering). I have been looking at grills from Weber ($400) to high end DCS ($4000). For $879 (locally in Hawaii, little P'od that it isn't $799 like on the mainland but that is life in Hawaii) I am not sure you can get a better bang for your buck. People have been worried about the name brand, and the availibility of parts down the road. So I asked Costco about it, and they said "Just return it to us." I said what, just return it to you. The manager of the store specifically told me it is a indefinate return policy, so 5 years down the road if a burner goes bad and you can't get replacement parts, bring the whole grill back and we will return your money. They said the stand behind their products 100%. Now can that beat the Samns club MM? Not sure, not a member of Sams, but if they back their product like Costco does, it doesn't matter if Virco only lasts a year to 50 years, Costco will always be around, and will back you up 100% no matter the time.
So needless to say, I am getting a Virco!
Yipee! We just made an impulse buy today at our local Costco, brought home a Virco 'Classic'.
Whoa, what a BBQ.....glad to have read such positive posts about this product.
On the note about Costco's warranty: We purchased a television that went bad after 3 years. We took the TV back to Costco and received a complete refund. No fuss, no muss. They told us that Costco will back any major purchase for the life of the product. Gotta' love that!
I have a success I can share. Had the most perfect (could have taken a photo for a cooking magazine) baby back ribs tonight.
Bought the Costco ribs. Cooked up 2 slabs. Each slab was placed on each side of the grill with those burners off. The center burner with no ribs was turned about 80% ? full blast. The rotissarie burner was on. This created a great indirect cooking temp of about 375-380 degrees per the dial on the lid.
I cooked the ribs for about 1.5 hours and they were absolutely amazing, even, & perfect.
Yes, Costco's return policy is fantastic! As long as you have the receipt, no questions asked. W/o the reciept, they have to do some inspection and you may not get the full price you paid back (they'll give you whatever their computer system lists the current price at). I recently returned a 1 year old KA stand mixer, unused, so I could "upgrade" to their latest model. No problem. Generally I try only to return things that are in like-new condition, with all original packaging, or that are clearly defective. However I've seen the return desk take back obviously used stuff that the customer hasn't even attempted to rebox.
The hardest part is keeping track of all those receipts. I'm still trying to think up a system to sort them, but when you have multiple items on a single receipt, it can be difficult. And sometimes what the item description is on the receipt is a bit cryptic (such as "LX35XG") but generally I can figure it out.
I love Costco. I just wish they were a little less popular with less crowded stores!

Screw the Kindles and iPads of the world.

Like, say, the quaint Lawn Gnome Books, run by word nerds Aaron Johnson and Ernesto Moncada. The colorful shelves of the two-room bungalow sport paint that's barely dry, as it only opened last month, but are overloaded with used copies of popular potboilers and tearjerkers, as well as fanzines and works by local scribes like Logan Mosier.

Bed was large. Decent breakfast.
The place smelled weird.
Comfy beds, delicious waffles, location
Bugs in room, outdated, very thin walls, indoor pool was closed, water came out black at first due to maintenance in building.
Hotel very clean, nice staff and ver good breakfast.
Friendly staff. Good breakfast. Clean rooms.
Cleaning staff came too early in the morning. No sign to put on door.
Huge room, but almost too big (not cozy). Staff is super friendly. Location, Location, Location! Nice touch that you get water/champagne upon arrival and a goodie back of water and snack bars for ride home. Free internet. Free breakfast at attached cafe which is decent. Was nice not to feel nickel and dimed.
Dated furniture (but it is very well maintained).
Room was great, very spacious and well appointed but a little dated. Staff was excellent.
Perhaps it was the downtown location but the street noise, even in an upper level room was very noticeable.
location, was quiet at night
The room had a very strong unpleasant odor when we arrived. We left our door open for quite awhile, before it dissipated.
Very friendly and attentive service. The breakfasts were excellent and the room very comfortable.
The owners are very friendly and welcome you. Location is convenient to almost everything.
Room was clean and good size. Bed was very comfortable after a long day sightseeing.
Bathroom was very small.
The breakfast was good and the staff was very helpful and pleasant and friendly.
There are a few reasons I will not go back ,first off for 4 nights I didn't sleep more than 2 hours each night. This was due to the air conditioner in the room. It was like sleeping next to a F-16 engine at full throttle even though the fan was at its lowest setting and the vents were not adjustable so the cold air was blowing on my face the whole time. Also around the pool there was not enough shade if you wanted to get out of the hot sun but still enjoy the pool, and the entrance is too close to the ramp coming off I-240 so it's difficult to get over and slow down and the entrance needs a larger sign. Your online information is very misleading because your hotel is not in walking distance to any shopping or restaurants .
Great location in nice setting.
Entire floors of this hotel have recently been renovated and are a substantial improvement over the dark and dim hotel I stayed in two years ago.
I would definitely stay here again, and the price is 60% off the aloft Hotel which is probably it's closest direct competitor, outside of the Renaissance just around the corner. It's within walking distance of all of the downtown attractions.
very clean and staff is friendly
not situated in a good neighborhood for walking
The hotel is beautiful and the views are stunning. Just walking into the lobby is immediately calming.
I was very disappointed (and embarrassed, as staying here with a friend was my suggestion) with the room we were given. It had outdated wallpaper and green carpet, and the furniture was pretty beat-up. The bathroom was spacious, but had a tiny pedestal sink with nowhere for any toiletries. We had to keep all makeup, brushes, toothbrushes, etc on the dresser in the room. The bathroom looked like a hospital bathroom. There were 2 dim lamps in the room, with no mirror (except what looked like a medicine cabinet in the bathroom and a full- length mirror on the bathroom door - not helpful without good lighting). Not comfortable accommodations for two girls getting ready for dinner. Thankfully the beds were very comfortable. We spent over $300 for the room, which truthfully wasn't as nice as the La Quinta I stayed at 2 weeks ago. Based on other reviews, I am sure that there are more updated rooms available. I would insist on being assigned one of those. I will definitely be back to enjoy the beauty of the hotel, but will not be staying there again until they make some much needed updates.
Atmosphere was romantic, and the staff was helpful. Resort was beautiful, with very vintage-y and comforting style. Sports complex was plentiful, with an indoor pool, lots of tennis courts, weight room, cardio room, and pool tables. Great room bar tenders were quick to greet you, very good cocktails, and friendly.
We couldnt get in or out of self parking because our card didnt work the entire stay, it was really, really inconvenient because we went out a lot for lunch and dinner. They did credit us the parking fee. This place is definitely not a last minute romantic trip kind of place. You better plan in advance if you want any type of spa services and dinner here. The good thing is, its so close to downtown, there's quite a good amount of restaurants to pick from. Overall, if you are planning to venture out, stay somewhere else. If you plan to fully use the amenities at the resort and stay there most of the time, then it would be worth the money.
Perfect location, easy to get to. The (small) indoor pool & hot tub was wonderful especially in 11degree temps outside (winter visit). The staff was very friendly. The breakfast was decent & the beds were comfortable.
The walls were a bit too thin, we could hear the neighbors all too well when someone sneezed next door. Parking was challenging at times.

Can you tell me about your experience with recovery from each and how they compare?
I had a difficult Vag delivery of a 9lb baby girl (broken tailbone, baby broke her collarbone, lots of tearing and 4 hrs of pushing). This pregnancy I am having a lot of back/pubic bone pain and worried my pelvic floor is a mess. My doctor told me we could do a c-sec to avoid the complications of the first delivery because I have every risk factor for having another large baby (this is a boy, it's my 2nd pregnancy, had a previous large baby etc). My recovery was long - especially trying to nurse while sitting on a broken tailbone. Months of pain and now 18 months later I still hurt almost daily from my tailbone. I felt horrible for my daughter that she broke her collarbone too. Poor babe!
I'd love to experience a normal vaginal delivery for #2 (coming in 8 weeks) but just trying to be realistic of my risk factors to the baby and myself for recovery while trying to take care of two kiddos.
My OB is giving me the choice but I am having a hard time weighing the pros and cons of c-sec recovery vs potential complications of another difficult vaginal delivery.
Just wondering how the recovery was for the c-sec and how you manage with a toddler at home (20 mos when I am due). Thanks for helping me! :-)

So as I type, I'm back in Vienna airport (woop! free wifi!) awaiting a transfer to London. I'll be attending just one day of London menswear, then lugging my oversized bags to Milan and Paris to see a handful of menswear show there!
David Nyanzi is on the ground in London, and took some street style snaps from the festivities for your viewing enjoyment. Let's see how the Brits get down:
What a dapper gent! This fashionisto made my heart smile with his red pants, fedora, and well groomed mustache.
Hats added stylish twists to these friend's ensembles, who stood apart from the crowd with cuffed pants and easy separates.
For some it's all about comfort! To whit, this young man, who skewed effortlessly cool in ripped jeans and lilac Converses.
Ladies are in the building, mixing sporty penchants with feminine elements.
This show goer looked boss in high waisted pants, finished with a flirty bow.
I live for this snazzy picture. Some might struggle with how to make menswear interesting, but it clearly comes naturally for this fly duo.
And lastly, our resident London photographer, David Nyanzi, is quite stylish himself. He gave his neutral separates a bit of pop with cobalt slip ons. Hot!
What do you think of these shots?
Images: David Nyanzi
Not a fan of ANY of the mens fashions but the ladies look nice! I can't see me holding hands walking down the street with a guy with capris on or rolled up pants, too feminine looking for me but it seems to be all the rage with high-water trousers, European tailored slacks, interesting but I will pass! LOL!
@ tami…i concur
the tailored looks are nice and a breath of fresh air
aye!! my boys twinnish (durimel.com) they're literally everywhere it seems. love the style. very relaxed. i love how menswear is becoming more comfortable and artsy
@tami, your comments are so ignorant it's not even funny. Comment on the clothing not whether or not they are too feminine for you. It's international style, TONS of European men wear capri-style pants. And none of them probably want you anyway, so I don't know why you felt the need to say you wouldn't want to hold hands with them. Blegh, grow up.
Love the looks in the second pic ( minus the hats-I'm not a hat person). It's great. I also love the pleated skirt and converse. I loved those looks.
@ Jay, easy boy , don't attack Tami like that. She did not mean it in a mean way ;-). Well honey that's how the men dress in Europe!! Come down here for a look, you'll enjoy yourself. The guys here are very creative in their styles. You'll have fun! Promise XD! Yayyyyy to the orange, pink couple!!! How cool is that!!!

The clock on extending the federal transit program is ticking, but you wouldn't really know it by the reactions of our leaders in Washington, D.C. Here is the conclusion of the Congressional Budget Office's experts in their July 2013 testimony to Congress: "Bringing the Trust Fund into balance in 2015 would require entirely eliminating the authority in that year to obligate funds — projected to be about $51 billion — raising the taxes on motor fuels by about 10 cents per gallon or undertaking some combination of those approaches." The Mass TransitAccount is in slightly better shape, though, only by a few months. The report released in February projects these accounts are in even worse shape, which means Congress needs to act this summer. Keep in mind federal law mandates the trust fund have a positive cash balance, so by law, these cuts or tax increases must happen if the federal program is to continue at all.Washington doesn't seem to be in a hurryUnfortunately, other than to recognize this is a huge problem coming very soon, neither the president nor the Congress seems to be in any hurry to address the issue. Yet, the problem may be coming sooner than they think. Some in the industry are worried agencies may have to start holding public hearings on cancelled capital projects, budget cuts and fare increases that would be necessary if the trust fund has no money and they are willing to bail it out as they have in the past with General Fund transfers. On the contrary, both sides seem to suggest they are unwilling to do any of the three options — tax increases, severe program cuts or trust fund bailouts — so that leaves only tax increases as a solution.Urgency must come from businessBecause everyone gets the trust fund is a problem, only the business community in each congressional district can get them to act. To their credit, major national industry groups, including the National Association of Manufacturers, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and even the truckers, have urged Congress and the president to raise the gas tax, because it is more important for these businesses to have a better transportation network than to pay a little more at the pump.
Now, it has to be local businesses' turn and that includes industry's supply-side companies. Our private sector organizations need to tell their story, forcefully, about the jobs and the lost business activity at stake if contracts are cancelled, delayed or suspended. They need to demonstrate in vivid terms how 72% of the dollars — almost three out of every four — that flow through the industry will be felt in the private sector. And, they need to do this to every member of Congress, especially the members of the relevant committees, now.
The CTfastrak transit system provides direct service to and from Waterbury, Cheshire, Southington, Bristol, Plainville, New Britain, Newington, West Hartford, Hartford, East Hartford and Manchester with routes that take advantage of the bus-only CTfastrak roadway.
ABQ RIDE is looking to model its plan after the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority's HealthLine, which is sponsored through a hospital partnership. Construction on the so-called ART system could begin in May 2016 with an in-service date of September 2017.
The service, which costs $6 a ride, asks riders to download the Leap app, creating an account, uploading a photo and adding a credit card that enables them to pay via a QR code.
Agencies ordering the company's products, which are now in at least half of all new U.S. and Canadian transit buses, include L.A. Metro, Chicago Transit Authority and New York City Transit.
The contract includes a firm order for 35 XN40 and 20 XN60 Xcelsior buses, with an option for another 150 XN40 and 100 XN60 over the next five years. All buses are to be powered by CNG.
