LR2 is more than your average SUV
by AWD Dad for Kids from Kansas City, MO | February 22, 2013
Purchased Used LR2 for my second college kid, following an earlier purchase of an Acura RDX for the other. Had to have AWD for them during Midwest winters to stop worrying while they are away. Love both vehicles, and the turbo RDX will run performance circles around the LR2, but the LR2 offers exceptional winter confidence and rugged capabilities without sacrificing comfort. Don't believe the performance digs of the heavy footed reviewers, as a man who loves to drive fast this car and its Volvo sourced in-line 6 cylinder offers more than enough power and torque to get the job done. Kid is averaging 18.5 mpg around town, not bad for what it offers.

The most fun, stylish and affordable SUV
by Rover from Idaho | March 28, 2012
I had a great experience purchasing this car from Marin Land Rover in CA. I had the car shipped to ID. I LOVE it. Beautiful and everything I could ask for. It is a small SUV so if you are looking for a large size this is not for you. My two large dogs fit in back-barely. The interior is beautiful and comfortable with adjustable arm rests. I love the cold climate package which provides heated seats and heated windshield which defrosts quickly. I alway get a kick out of the rear view mirrors adjusting when I back up:)

Happy Anniversary, Afghanistan
On October 7, the U.S.
I've been asked for a few words about how the recession may affect poverty in the United States, and also about policy issues related to poverty that have emerged from the economic recovery legislation and from the budget debate on Capitol Hill.
Some might say that this is the worst possible time to have a Mobilization to End Poverty. An elder of a church I served once told me, "You can tell a lot about a person by looking at their checkbook register

Decision to permit coverage welcome
Published 24/01/2013 | 05:00
THE decision by the country's most senior family law judge to allow restricted media coverage of a landmark surrogacy action is a welcome one.
No one, including the Irish Independent, expects the veil of secrecy to be lifted entirely in family law cases.
But it should be pierced sufficiently to enhance public confidence in the family law courts; to scrutinise the wide powers of discretion given to and the conduct of judges, and to promote proper public debate that, in turn, will lead to better informed social and legal policies in this area.
The in-camera rule was partially relaxed by the 2004 Civil Liability and Courts Act, which allowed a small class of people, other than lawyers, to attend family law proceedings and produce reports.
But journalists are excluded from the act, leaving many citizens in the dark about the operation of family law in our courts, arguably the one area of the law that has the potential to affect us all.
It is essential that our family law courts are opened up to scrutiny.
Judge Abbott's revised ruling brings us closer to that goal.
Irish Independent

By Eric Winter
Hedge funds' 13Fs can be used by investors to gain some color on how the Wall Street heavyweights are moving around their capital. This information can be invaluable for those willing to put in the time to develop their own investing strategies around fund methodologies. We have developed a market approach of our own that has netted investors 29% since its inception in September of last year (learn more here). D.E. Shaw & Co., a firm founded by David Shaw in 1988 that currently has over $41bn in assets, has released its 13F detailing the fund's holdings for the last quarter of 2012, and we have analyzed some of its newest holdings below.
D.E. Shaw made 414 new purchases in Q4 2012, with Kraft Foods Group, Inc. (KRFT) standing out as the largest. Last October, Kraft Foods (at the time tickered as KFT) split into two companies. KRFT now assumes the North American grocery operations and Mondelez International (NASDAQ:MDLZ) is comprised of the global snacks business. Although KRFT has reached a significant amount of market saturation with brands like Jell-O, Maxwell House and Philadelphia, income investors will appreciate KRFT's quarterly dividend of $0.50, giving the stock a high yield of 4.10%. Billionaire Israel Englander of Millennium Management bought over 600,000 shares last quarter.
ADT Corp. (NYSE:ADT) was the fund's second-largest new addition with a commitment of nearly $70mm. ADT received a strong increase in reception from the 400+ hedge funds we track last quarter, with 57 funds now holding the home and small-business security provider. ADT has made significant inroads in its $13bn market as a top-tier player and continues to provide value to investors with a $600mm stock buyback program. The company's most recent earnings announcement at the end of January saw a number of positive developments, including increases in earnings and revenues from monitoring services. Steven Cohen of SAC Capital Advisors has a $13.2mm investment in ADT.
Equinix, Inc. (NASDAQ:EQIX) made it into D.E. Shaw's portfolio as well with an investment of roughly $53mm. EQIX offers IT data solutions globally and showered investors with an excellent return in the past twelve months, amounting to an appreciation of over 56%. The company was recently upgraded to a BB rating by Standard & Poor's, prompting it to issue $1.5bn in debt with coupons ranging from 4.875% to 5.375%. Wall Street analysts have given the stock a one year mean price target that is currently 12.3% north of current levels. Famed investor Dan Loeb of Third Point recently purchased over half a million shares, according to his 13F for Q4 2012.
Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE:CX) is a Mexico-based infrastructure and cement company that is traded on the NYSE as an American Depository Receipt. CX has been a standout performer as well, tacking on almost 50% since this time last year. The stock saw a 40% increase in popularity amongst the funds we track going into the end of 2012, with 20 funds holding the stock in Q3 2012 and 28 holding it in Q4. CX missed its already-negative EPS expectations in its latest earnings announcement on February 7th, coming in at a hefty $0.31 less than predicted. Billionaire Ken Fisher of Fisher Asset Management added slightly to his position last quarter (view his other picks here).
Eli Lilly And Company (NYSE:LLY) was the last new holding made by D.E. Shaw that we'll cover, and unlike the others listed here, LLY came in the form of a call option. The pharmaceutical giant has a market cap of $60bn and an accomplished name in drug development. However, the company is facing patent losses (and has been since 2011) that are resulting in a number of generics coming to market. An example of this affecting LLY's bottom-line was revealed in its Q4 earnings announcement, which showed that the Zyprexa patent expiration resulted in 49% lower sales and depressed overall results. Daniel S. Och of OZ Management unwound his call position dramatically in the same time period.

What materials did you use? Sugar n'Creme Lily-Cotton in Red (solid) 1 ball & I saw a pattern in the book "2 Hour Dishcloths by Darla Sims." I liked the pattern but didn't care for all the frills and the border so I took that off and tweaked it to my liking.

"'September Rain" awarded finalist (Folk) in the HMMA 2011"
" Album review by Randy Stahla "September Rain" - one example of great songs on a very well done album. This song has beautiful lyrics and melody, and the vocal harmonies are like silk. Very peaceful and enchanting music. The lyrics in "Like a Rose" take you away, and the emotional impact is strong yet soothing. The message of this song validates the worth of each person and of the natural world around us. The guitar work is imaginative and peaceful. "Island in the Sun" is a great song and this is a great album! The lyrics in each song were obviously the result of a lot of work and deep thought, and the whole album is a work of art.
"Island in the Sun' is a fantastic composition! It has a bitter-sweet, jazzy feel that is just sublime. The transitions all have your characteristic smoothness and the vocal harmonies are great. I also liked the piano and bass accompaniment."
"Your music does have a unique rare appeal.....so only a matter of time!"
"Not many full time mums have time for themselves let alone time to produce an album-but this mum of four has done just that"
"Seven Semi-finalist awards in Jazz,Pop,Folk, Adult contemporary,Intsrumental in this years competition (2010)"
"How do you manage to stay so Eva Cassidy like pure...."
"Thank you for allowing us to play your brilliant music on the unsigned & indie show"
"Only You and Innocent Days reached the semi-finals of the UK songwriting Competition" ( 2009)
"I can hear the beach boys, Joni Mitchel and much more, the main thing is your gentle style and finesse"

Dragon turtle
this wiki
|This article or section includes a list of references or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks in-text citations.
You can improve this article by introducing more precise citations.
Dragon turtles are aquatic creatures that are related to dragons. While they cannot fly, they are adept swimmers and many consider them to be the most powerful non-dragons, and one of the most dangerous things in the ocean, after Krakens. Many sailors avoid the territories of dragon turtles or attempt to placate the creatures with treasure.
Dragon turtles appear to be huge sea turtles with long tails used to attain great swimming speeds. Their bodies are protected with a heavy shell which makes it impervious to most weapons. Dragon turtles are capable of expelling a blast of scalding steam from their mouths. An adult dragon turtle can measure from 20 to 30 feet from snout to tail, with a shell from 15 to 25 feet in diameter, and can weigh 8,000 to 32,000 pounds.
Physical DescriptionEdit
A dragon turtle's hard shell is mistaken for the reflection of heavenly bodies on the water when it surfaces and it is accented with silver fringes. The shell's actual color is about the same color as the sea around it. Its limbs and neck are a lighter color, highlighted with golden fringes. Adult dragon turtles can surpass 40' (12.2m) in length.
Breath weaponEdit
Dragon Turtles can expell a blast of scalding steam from their mouths.

I ditched all my hi-end full-sized cans and my Triple Fi's last week, so my "Can Bank" is sitting around a grand and I'm really leaning towards getting some custom IEMs and being done with the trial and error of finding the "perfect fit". I've searched through several reviews and it really seems to boil down to preference but I'm thinking of pre-ordering the JH-16Pros. I just want to hear it one more time before I reserve these things, do hi-end custom IEM's really justify their price point of $1000+? Initially, I will just be running these out of my macbook and iPod Touch 3G, so I know this is isn't optimal gear but nevertheless for $1000 I better be swept off my feet everytime I put these things in my tympanic membrane.

The PPD skin test is a method used to diagnose
Alternative Names
Purified protein derivative standard; TB skin test; Tuberculin skin test; Mantoux test
How the test is performed
The test site (usually the forearm) is cleansed with rubbing alcohol. The PPD extract is then injected under the top layer of skin, causing a welt to form on the skin. This welt usually goes away in a few hours.
The reaction will take 48 - 72 hours to develop. You must return to your health care provider at that time to have the area checked. This check will determine whether you have had a significant reaction to the PPD test. The reaction is measured in millimeters of firm swelling (induration), not redness, at the site of infection.
How to prepare for the test
There is no special preparation for this test.
Tell your health care provider if you have ever had a positive PPD skin test. If so, you should not have a repeat PPD test, except under unusual circumstances.
Tell your doctor if you have a medical condition or if you take certain drugs, such as steroids, that can affect your immune system. These situations may lead to inaccurate test results.
How the test will feel
You will feel a brief sting as a needle is inserted just below the skin surface.
Why the test is performed
The PPD test is done to find out if you have been infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacteria that cause TB.

Special night in Rutland TownMarch 22,2014Special night
in Rutland Town
Sadly, we hear and read a great deal these days about what is wrong in Rutland. I invite you to see and hear a lot of what has been, and is, right in the community as the Rutland Town School Friends of Music celebrate student musicians past and present with the annual Jazz Bistro being held at 7 p.m. Friday in the school gym
Each year, as former students of teachers Reeta Coughenour, Bear Irwin and I gather from different states and decades to celebrate a common musical heritage, I marvel at these ties that bind. Much like Rutlands Halloween Parade, this is a unique and special event that points out Rutland is truly a special place in which to grow up and return to.

This review is from: Samsung Galaxy S4 S IV Red GT-i9500 (FACTORY UNLOCKED) 16GB Full HD 13MP
Pros: This phone is amazing. And the seller is even more so. The seller calmed my concerns that this Verizon phone would work with my GSM carrier. We communicated back and forth over two days by email and they sent me a video showing how to make it work with the SIM I had. I would certainly buy from them again and recommend them to everyone.
Cons: Not really a con, this phone was not an i9500, it was an i545. While the 9500 accepts a 64G SDXC, it has less other features. The i545 accepts up to 32G, but it is a much better phone.
Other Thoughts: The seller is awesome. They seem to work non-stop as evidenced by a 4 AM email. Despite my early concerns, they were resolute that it would work for me and assured me that they would do everything to make this a great purchase.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: ASUS MeMO Pad ME172V-B1-WH VIA WM8950 1GB Memory 7.0" 32 GB Touchscreen Tablet Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean)
Pros: It's an Android 4.1 Jelly Bean device. What little it does, it does very well.
Cons: Has no bluetooth capability. Has no GPS capability. Very slow to boot up.
Other Thoughts: I bought this for a tech challenged person to try to get them up to speed with the current range of devices like phones and tablets.I suppose I did not read the description very well, so I was a bit disappointed. However, for the money, I suppose it is fair enough for the priceREAD FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 – 8GB Flash Storage 1GB RAM 7" Android Tablet Gold Brown Color (Newest Model)
Pros: It's about what I expected. It's perfect for a carry-about tablet to record notes, appointments, etc. It has a SD card slot, so the limited storage on the device can be supplemented by up to 32 GB. The size and weight allow it be held in one hand without too much effort.
Cons: It has no user-replaceable battery. The wi-fi connectivity range is less than I expected but not enough to take away any stars.
Other Thoughts: I needed to do something about my failing dedicated GPS. The problems prompted me to consider that if I was going to spend that much money, I may as well get something which does more, so I picked this. Coupled with a good GPS app for $9 and a good music player, it more than replaces the fomer dedicated GPS. Used it on a trip days ago and it performed flawlessly.READ FULL REVIEW

The numerical methods used in the computer modeling described here were introduced and implemented on parallel computing platforms by the Team for Advanced Flow Simulation and Modeling (T*AFSM). The powerful set of numerical methods introduced by the T*AFSM and used in this computation includes the quasi-direct fluid-structure interaction method [1, 2] recently developed by the T*AFSM at Rice University. The computation was carried out on the Cray XD1 supercomputer recently procured by the Computer and Information Technology Institute (CITI) at Rice in support of far-reaching computational research.
One of the major computational challenges in cardiovascular fluid mechanics is accurate modeling of the fluid-structure interactions between the blood flow and arterial walls. The blood flow depends on the arterial geometry, and the deformation of the arterial wall depends on the blood flow. The mathematical equations governing the blood flow and arterial deformations need to be solved simultaneously, with proper kinematic and dynamic conditions coupling the two physical systems.
Using a computed tomography (CT) model of a segment of the middle cerebral artery of a 57 year-old male, a computer model is able to closely approximate the width and extent of a cerebral aneurysm. The CT model of the artery approximated in this computation was reported in [3] and the blood flow rate used in the computation during the systolic cycle is a close approximation to the one reported in [4]. The computation was carried out on the new Cray XD1 at Rice University.
Blood-flow patterns at an instant during the systolic cycle
The figure above shows the bloodflow patterns at an instant during the systolic cycle. The group of three images below shows the arterial shape at three different instants during the systolic cycle. The computation was carried out by graduate student Bryan Nanna and research scientist Sunil Sathe, as part the T*AFSM research in cardiovascular fluid mechanics.
Arterial shape at three different instants during thesystolic cycle. Click for larger image
Access to the new Cray XD1 allowed researchers with T*AFSM to carry out simulations significantly faster (3.5 times faster than on an older Intel Xeon based Linux cluster), giving the T*AFSM researchers quick feedback as the they increase the scope and accuracy of their computer modeling techniques. Moving forward, the team will also be able to scale up simulations providing better accuracy and ultimately develop new and better models that can match the conditions more closely, yielding even better insight and understanding.
"With access to such large scale resources locally, we are able to move our computer modeling research forward to new and challenging applications such as cardiovascular fluid-structure interactions," said Tayfun Tezduyar, James F. Barbour Professor in Mechanical Engineering and T*AFSM Leader. "The Cray XD1 is about to transform our research since it permits us to address these new challenges with a level of modeling accuracy previously not feasible because of a lack of sufficient computational power."
The Cray XD1, a.k.a. ADA1, was acquired with a grant from the National Science Foundation in a partnership with AMD and Cray. The system, ADA, is host to 336 2.2 Giga Hertz Dual-Core AMD Opteron processors, a total 1.4 TB2 of memory, and in excess of 20 TB of disk storage. The system clocks in at about 3 TeraFlop3. The Computer and Information Technology Institute (CITI) at Rice University led this acquisition from its inception, coordinating the proposal development, system procurement, and deployment. A team of more than 30 faculty members from Rice spanning Engineering, Natural Sciences, and Social Sciences participated in the effort to bring this system to Rice to support large-scale computing.
The Computer and Information Technology Institute (CITI) is a research-centric institute dedicated to the advancement of applied interdisciplinary research in the areas of computation and information technology.

Grand Theft Auto 4 (GTA 4)
GTAIV PC keeps crashing :(
pjlambo posted on Oct 06, 2009 8:34:24 PM - Report post
I just got this game for the PC a week ago for $20 Canadian at EB Games (already own the game for the X360 for the DLC content)but I can only play the PC version for a few minutes before it crashes to the desktop with no error message or nothing. Occassionally the sound will stutter just before the crash but I don't know what is causing this. I own a PC that can easily run this game a Quad Core Q6600 Intel CPU, 4 Gigs of RAM, 2 XFX 9800 GT (512 VRAM ea.) video cards (SLI mode) with Windows XP SP3. I have the 1.04 patch installed and even had the latest version of Windows LIVE and still the game crashes. I haven't even attempted to try running any trainers from this site till I get this game to run stable. Anyone got any suggestions?

That's the first thing I looked into updated DirectX drivers (have 9.0c) and the very latest Nvidia drivers (191.07). Do you think the games latest 1.04 patch is the issue?

Japan: The Precarious Futureby Frank Baldwin Anne Allison
On March 11, 2011, a 9.0 earthquake off Japan's northeast coast triggered a tsunami that killed more than 20,000 people, displaced 600,000, and caused billions of dollars in damage as well as a nuclear meltdown of three reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.

Japan, the world's third largest economy, was already grappling with recovery from both its own economic recession of the 1990s and the global recession following the US-driven financial crisis of 2008 when the disaster hit, changing its fortunes yet again. This small, populous Asian nation--once thought to be a contender for the role of the world's number one power--now faces a world of uncertainty. Japan's economy has shrunk, China has challenged its borders, and it faces perilous demographic adjustments from decreased fertility and an aging populace, with the country's population expected to drop to less than 100 million by 2048. In Japan: The Precarious Future, a group of distinguished scholars of Japanese economics, politics, law, and society examine the various roads that might lie ahead. Will Japan face a continued erosion of global economic and political power, particularly as China's outlook improves exponentially? Or will it find a way to protect its status as an important player in global affairs? Contributors explore issues such as national security, political leadership, manufacturing prowess, diplomacy, population decline, and gender equality in politics and the workforce, all in an effort to chart the possible futures for Japan. Both a roadmap for change and a look at how Japan arrived at its present situation, this collection of thought-provoking analyses will be essential for understanding the current landscape and future prospects of this world power.
Millennial Monsters: Japanese Toys and the Global Imaginationby Anne Allison
Millennial Monsters explores the global popularity of Japanese youth goods today while it questions the make-up of the fantasies and the capitalistic conditions of the play involved. Arguing that part of the appeal of such dream worlds is the polymorphous perversity with which they scramble identity and character, the author traces the postindustrial milieu from which such fantasies have arisen in postwar Japan and been popularly received in the United States.
Millennial Monsters: Japanese Toys and the Global Imaginationby Anne Allison Gary Cross
From sushi and karaoke to martial arts and technoware, the currency of made-in-Japan cultural goods has skyrocketed in the global marketplace during the past decade. The globalization of Japanese "cool" is led by youth products: video games, manga (comic books), anime (animation), and cute characters that have fostered kid crazes from Hong Kong to Canada. Examining the crossover traffic between Japan and the United States, Millennial Monsters explores the global popularity of Japanese youth goods today while it questions the make-up of the fantasies and the capitalistic conditions of the play involved. Arguing that part of the appeal of such dream worlds is the polymorphous perversity with which they scramble identity and character, the author traces the postindustrial milieux from which such fantasies have arisen in postwar Japan and been popularly received in the United States.
Nightwork: Sexuality, Pleasure, and Corporate Masculinity in a Tokyo Hostess Clubby Anne Allison
In Nightwork, Anne Allison opens a window onto Japanese corporate culture and gender identities. Allison performed the ritualized tasks of a hostess in one of Tokyo's many "hostess clubs": pouring drinks, lighting cigarettes, and making flattering or titillating conversation with the businessmen who came there on company expense accounts. Her book critically examines how such establishments create bonds among white-collar men and forge a masculine identity that suits the needs of their corporations. Allison describes in detail a typical company outing to such a club--what the men do, how they interact with the hostesses, the role the hostess is expected to play, and the extent to which all of this involves "play" rather than "work. " Unlike previous books on Japanese nightlife, Allison's ethnography of one specific hostess club (here referred to as Bijo) views the general phenomenon from the eyes of a woman, hostess, and feminist anthropologist. Observing that clubs like Bijo further a kind of masculinity dependent on the gestures and labors of women, Allison seeks to uncover connections between such behavior and other social, economic, sexual, and gendered relations. She argues that Japanese corporate nightlife enables and institutionalizes a particular form of ritualized male dominance: in paying for this entertainment, Japanese corporations not only give their male workers a self-image as phallic man, but also develop relationships to work that are unconditional and unbreakable. This is a book that will appeal to anyone interested in gender roles or in contemporary Japanese society.
Precarious Japanby Anne Allison
In an era of irregular labor, nagging recession, nuclear contamination, and a shrinking population, Japan is facing precarious times. How the Japanese experience insecurity in their daily and social lives is the subject of Precarious Japan. Tacking between the structural conditions of socioeconomic life and the ways people are making do, or not, Anne Allison chronicles the loss of home affecting many Japanese, not only in the literal sense but also in the figurative sense of not belonging. Until the collapse of Japan's economic bubble in 1991, lifelong employment and a secure income were within reach of most Japanese men, enabling them to maintain their families in a comfortable middle-class lifestyle. Now, as fewer and fewer people are able to find full-time work, hope turns to hopelessness and security gives way to a pervasive unease. Yet some Japanese are getting by, partly by reconceiving notions of home, family, and togetherness.

Coach P is back home. …
1:30 pm May. 20, 2010
Inlet Grove track coach Anton Pastuszak resigned Thursday, five years after starting the Hurricanes' track program.

Pastuszak and the Hurricanes track team were featured in an article in the Palm Beach Post in April about making their own track equipment due to a lack of funds.
The Hurricanes will have a track …

"Directed by John Ford" contains much of the same material, as Peter Bogdanovich's pioneering 1971 study of Hollywood's most lauded director. Thirty-five years on, Bogdanovich has reworked his invaluable docu, adding contempo interviews and a surprise kicker. Pic will air on Turner Classic Movies and enjoy a long life as a homevid title for buffs.
Directed by John Ford" bears the same title, and contains much of the same material, as Peter Bogdanovich's pioneering 1971 study of Hollywood's most lauded director, the man Walter Hill herein calls the Charles Dickens of the cinema. Thirty-five years on, Bogdanovich has reworked his invaluable docu, adding contempo interviews and a surprise kicker. As the earlier film has long been out of circulation, this edition allows a new audience to benefit from the insights, and experience the vitality, of Henry Fonda, James Stewart and John Wayne sounding off about their irascible taskmaster. Pic will air on Turner Classic Movies in October, and enjoy a long life as a homevid title for buffs.
It's been a good year for Ford appreciation, what with Sam Pollard and Kenneth Bowser's very fine American Masters docu "John Ford/John Wayne: The Filmmaker and the Legend" and the 50th anni DVD edition of "The Searchers" having already spurred Ford partisans and detractors into a new round of debate.
Ford's arguable datedness in some areas, including his Irish sentimentality and often blindered view of women, makes him passe for some. But docu makes it abundantly clear that even the most successful modern directors have a lot to learn from the way Ford communicated enormous feeling and thought via economical silent exchanges and gestures, as well as from his increasingly complex analysis of American history.
The original "Directed by John Ford" was first shown (at the Venice Film Festival) two years before its subject died. Produced by George Stevens Jr. and James R. Silke, pic was the first and last entry in a proposed series of American Film Institute docus about great directors, and was, in effect, an extension of Bogdanovich's contributions as a popularizing film critic, positioning Ford as an unassailable auteur and chronicler, through some 135 films, of the American saga from frontier life to urban politics.
Since proper clip clearances were never negotiated, the original docu never went much further than fests, classrooms and a couple of PBS airings, although bits of Ford being comically crusty in his Monument Valley interview with Bogdanovich have cropped up elsewhere. This retooling runs 13 minutes longer, the most notable difference being the addition of fresh interviews with contempo admirers Clint Eastwood, Walter Hill, Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg, along with thesp Harry Carey Jr. and interludes with Bogdanovich himself.
No matter how articulate these fellows may be — Scorsese succinctly anoints Ford as "the essence of classical American cinema" — inclusion of the new interviews creates a bifurcated perspective that splits the p.o.v. between the retrospective appreciation of non-intimates and the first-hand observations of the director's close collaborators; Fonda, Stewart and Wayne were all about 60 at the time of their interviews and were anything but geriatric, their recollections of their testy but fondly remembered boss possessing an extraordinary here-and-now immediacy. It's not for nothing that the best story from one of the film's newcomers is Spielberg's account of his teenage encounter with the intimidating old master.
Mix of old and new makes for a certain lack of focus at the outset, but docu finds its groove 20 minutes in with Ford's entrance; sitting gruffly in Monument Valley, he hilariously answers his interlocutor's highfalutin' questions with dismissively terse answers, even calling "Cut!" when he runs out of patience.
There's a lot on "The Searchers," and younger viewers whose limited impression of Wayne is as a tough, mean guy will have their eyes opened by the interview with Ford's greatest star; he's a funny, supremely likable man and a wonderful storyteller who illuminates something of the tricky dynamic between Ford and actors, himself included.
Bogdanovich shot all the original interviews on film using a dolly, which gives them a vibrant look as well as an elegant mobility rare in docus; the newly shot material, shot on video, looks mundane by comparison.
The critical survey of Ford's career and treatment of history is superb. With his subject now long gone, Bogdanovich is able to be frank about Ford's family difficulties, which he reinforces with telling scenes from "How Green Was My Valley," a film not included in the docu's first version.
A pointed 1992 interview with Maureen O'Hara done by Lindsay Anderson fleshes things out further, as does the amazing private tape recording of a conversation between long-ago intimates Katharine Hepburn and Ford when the latter was on his death bed.
In the end, docu will prove very moving to anyone able to connect with what Ford accomplished. Whatever his flaws as a man and an artist, few have ever come near creating the vast web of personal, poetic, narrative and historical associations Ford spun across his long career. Bogdanovich, then and now, proves himself an ideal interpreter and synthesizer of that achievement.
Original narration by great Ford admirer Orson Welles is retained here and provides an added sonorous pleasure.

Do your lo's go to bed? And what time do they get up?? We lay ds down around 6:45 or so and he is usually asleep by 7-7:15. Sometimes I feel that's early but he is tired and showing it usually as early as 5:30. When he gets tired he gets WILD! Weird I know, but he does the opposite of most kids. lol He gets wild, hyper, and acts up a lot when he starts getting tired. So we have just left bedtime at that. He wakes up around 6:45-7am on his own. He stays at home with me all day but if he was in PK I have a feeling it would be even earlier. haha
Dd is 2.5 and usually falls asleep around 8. She isn't on a super structured schedule yet but we are getting there. She still nurses to sleep so it's a little more laid back.

Replacing an existing tub can be a pricey venture. Even if you choose a moderately priced replacement bathtub, there probably will be a minimum of $1,000 in labor and other costs to remove the old fixture and install the new one. That cost is an estimate for putting the same type of new tub in the same place as an old one -- it will be higher if you want the tub in a different spot and will need new plumbing installed, or if you want to upgrade your tub to a deeper or otherwise differently-sized model.
However, if all you want to do is replace an old bathtub, keep in mind that some tubs can be resurfaced or refinished. The cost of refinishing an existing enamel-coated steel, iron or fiberglass tub starts at around $300, which, if you consider installation costs, is a huge savings over buying new. If you have the ability, you can even do the refinishing yourself, although you might be happier with professional results. Many fans of vintage and antique items buy beat up old tubs and have them refinished, either to sell at a profit or to add character to their own homes. If you do opt for refinishing, your old tub can be painted virtually any color you want.
Resurfacing can often be done in one day, although the tub may need a few additional days to cure. Also, the chemicals used for refinishing are caustic and noxious, so you'll want to plan for your project to be done when you can open the widows. Contractors will usually bring some kind of ventilation equipment to will pump the fumes outside. Acrylic tubs are usually not appropriate for refinishing because some of the acids used in the resurfacing process can dissolve acrylic, so replacing or buying a liner for an acrylic tub may be your only option for that type of material.
Having an acrylic tub liner installed over an existing tub is another option for most types of alcove-style bathtubs. There are a number of vendors that specialize in this type of tub redo, supplying both the liner and the labor, and they can offer services from a very basic liner placed over the tub, to full bath/shower liner combos. They even offer many options for upgraded features like built-in shelves, arm or back supports, or other organizational or comfort touches. One caveat: you are limited to keeping the tub in the same spot. This is merely a cover that goes over your existing tub, there are no options for moving it to a different location.
You can also purchase a liner from a retailer and find a local installer. Replacing a tub liner is not a job that most experts recommend tackling as a do-it-yourselfer as it requires a great deal of care and skill to be sure a tight seal is achieved. Most tub liner retailers, if they don't handle installation themselves, work with or can recommend local installers.
An acrylic liner will last longer than a refinished tub, but it's more expensive, and the process is more time-consuming. A professional will photograph and precisely measure your tub, then send that information to the liner manufacturer (some have hundreds of sizes and shapes on hand, but there's a possibility you'll need to have one custom-made). About four to six weeks later, the liner will arrive and the professional will install it over the old tub. The acrylic liner will be about a quarter-inch thick and weigh about 35 pounds -- there's a possibility that you'll need plumbing work to extend the drain. Simpler jobs take only one day, others may require two days of work. After the job is done, maintenance is identical to a standard acrylic bathtub.
If you do opt to use a professional for either of these types of bathtub rejuvenation, be sure to ask for local references, consult friends and acquaintances that have had similar work done, or read online reviews. You should also find out what type of warranty coverage is provided -- three years to five years is standard on tub liners with professional installation.
