This is my first post so bare with me please
My daugter is 20 months, 31 inchs long, 20.5 lbs. Tiny yes I know. But she eats a lot and not very picky. She is a very intelligent little girl ( not just because she is mine) But the peditrician swears she is too small as far as the dumb chart is concerned. I size her up to the kids at her day care and yes she weighs less but height and all is the same. OH and did I mention, I'm 5'2 and hubby is 5'10 and none of the women in my family are taller than 5'5.
Please tell me I am not alone in this. I need to know I can calm down

Not many of us think of England as a country where you can surf, take sunbaths and cool in the blue Atlantic Ocean. Surely, these are not icons that identify the British, but there's this glorious place in the south-west of the country that will change your perception for ever. And possibly your summer holidays.
Cornwall has more interesting places to offer! Click here and discover all of them!
Cornwall, which forms the tip of the south-west peninsula of the island of Great Britain, consists of several beaches with fine golden sand, impressive cliffs and great places for tourists to enjoy a vacation at the seaside. Cornwall has a border with only one other county, Devon, which is also another place worth visiting.
There are beaches that can easily be compared with some of the most scenic postcard resorts in Greece or Italy. You could travel to Bude, Polzeath, Watergate Bay, Perranporth, Porthtowan, Fistral Beach, Newquay, St Agnes, St Ives, and on the south coast to Gyllyngvase beach in Falmouth.
We took a trip to Newquay, a town, seaside resort and fishing port in Cornwall, situated on the North Atlantic coast.
The resort is widely known as the surf capital of the UK, with many surf shops, board manufacturers and hire shops in the town. One of the most popular beaches in Newquay is the Fistral Beach, which has been host to international surfing competitions for around 20 years now.
Also, if you are passionate about surfing, you ought to know that the surf gear brand Fat Willy's was founded in Newquay.
It is a perfect place for recreation, stroll along the beaches, but also for those enjoying a lively nightlife, as Newquay has a wide selection of chillout bars and traditional pubs to beachside cafes and nightclubs.
You can also visit the Newquay Zoo or take part in the "Run to the Sun" event, which always takes places during the public holiday on the last weekend in May, at Trevelgue Holiday Park. People visit the town in Volkswagen camper vans, Beetles and other custom cars.
House in the Sea
But apart from heritage cottages, beautiful gardens, mini-golf fields, swimming pools and other dreamy features of this small town, we fell in love with its most bizarre, yet superb item: the three-bedroom 1930s house separated from the main land by suspended 70-ft-high, 100-ft-long footbridge.
The owners, Lord and Lady Long, can host two people in one double room for £175 per night, including breakfast. It is indeed a unique way to spend your summer holidays. The house has its own private island, completely surrounded by sea at high tide.
So if you're in search of an ideal romantic break, this is surely a choice that will make your loved one fall (again) for you. Imagine the breathtaking Atlantic views, sunbathing during the day and stargazing at night on the terrace of this stunning house.
The House in the Sea, which is Edwardian built in the 1930s, is one of the most photographed houses in the UK. You can just sit back and relax, or you can recreate while fishing, sailing or surfing in the harbour below. Either way, this place is definitely an oasis to charge yourself with energy and optimism for the bustling city life.
For Sale
And some good news for those that would like to get their hands on such an amazing property, the house in Towan Island is being sold for £1million. Lord and Lady Long would like something with a slightly more accessible front door.
The bridge was built in 1901 and is the only privately owned suspension bridge in the country. Due to the small garden and the terrace, you can follow the Sun around all day.
Past owners include Sir Oliver Joseph Lodge, inventor of the spark plug. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is thought to have visited the house.

The ESC Blog is asking Canadians for ideas for a National insect. Most go for the big shiny bugs like dragonflies, butterflies and moths, and there is even a suggestion that the rare and unusual Grylloblattid, Grylloblatta campodeiformi be an appropriate choice.
Myself? I would like to nominate the northern black fly, Simulium canadense. What other insect is so memorable that it has inspired a song?
Just substitute Canaday-i-o for Ontar-i-o, and we will even have a National Insect Anthem!

Useful Adobe Fireworks Resources: Tutorials, Articles And Freebies (Part 2)
- By Michel Bozgounov
- August 7th, 2014
- 29 Comments
A few weeks ago, I mentioned some of the best extensions1 that are currently available for Fireworks. Today, I'll cover some of the best tutorials and articles, as well as many freebies (styles, templates, resource libraries, and so son) that are available for Fireworks. All of them can (and will!) teach you how to use Fireworks in a better, more optimal way.
Again, in order to help you obtain a good overview of everything covered in this article, I've grouped the resources into the following sections:
- Tutorials2: Everything you need to know about how to use Fireworks.
- Articles3: The features of Fireworks and other UI design tools (compared).
- Assets and freebies4: Fireworks PNG files, templates, style presets, libraries, etc.
- Conclusion5: Is Fireworks still relevant in 2014 and what are its alternatives?
Brushed Metal Effect in Adobe Fireworks Tutorial Link
Using this "Brushed Metal Effect" tutorial, you can create a nice-looking brushed metal effect in Fireworks. The tutorial is pretty basic but you can learn a thing or two from it. (If you're curious, in real life brushed metal6 is metal with a unidirectional satin finish produced by a special polishing process; the brushing gives the metal a distinctive look, as it retains some but not all of its metallic lustre and is given a pattern of very fine lines parallel to the brushing direction.)
The final result can be saved as a vector file, or you can easily export a "flat" pattern or texture file of any size.
How to achieve pixel perfection with Adobe Fireworks Tutorial Link
When it comes to user interface design, Adobe Fireworks is an excellent tool for laying out your ideas and also for creating cutting edge graphics for your app or website. Like in any other graphic software, there are different ways to create one effect. However, the result doesn't always look the same for each method. In the article "How to achieve pixel perfection in your designs with Adobe Fireworks10," Ivo Mynttinen985911 will show you how to achieve real pixel perfection!
(Note: Ivo Mynttinen wrote also a very useful and detailed article for Smashing Magazine, "Design Cutting Edge iOS Apps With Adobe Fireworks12".)
Creating Brushed Metal in Adobe Fireworks Video Tutorial Link
Speaking of brushed metal effects, here's a more complex (video) tutorial that will let you achieve more interesting results: "Creating Brushed Metal in Adobe Fireworks13." It's by designer and Fireworks master Rogie King14 and is certainly worth watching.
This tutorial will show you actually some of the steps in the process of designing the Rainboxx logo17 (see the next item in the list).
Designing the Rainboxx Logo Video Tutorial Link
Watching designers work is always fun and can teach us a lot; so I can recommend you to watch the "Designing the Rainboxx Logo in Fireworks18" video tutorial by Rogie King. You can get an insight into Rogie's workflow and also learn a few useful things about Fireworks and its tools.
Pasting Attributes in Adobe Fireworks Video Tutorial Link
Here's another quick video tutorial (only 7 minutes long) by Rogie King, "Pasting Attributes in Adobe Fireworks21." It's about the option to easily copy-paste attributes between different objects on the canvas in Fireworks. The option is easy to master (it's as simple as
Ctrl/Cmd+C and
Ctrl/Cmd+Alt+Shift+V!) but very useful. Rogie will show you a few examples of its use and a few tips and tricks.
(And, if you need even more control, there's the Copy and Paste Selective Attributes command available in the Modify Commands24 set by Aaron Beall.)
Brushed Metal iCloud Logo Tutorial Link
This is another tutorial which is about brushed metal effects (that's the last one, promise!). In "Brushed Metal iCloud Logo with Fireworks25," you'll learn how to work with vector shapes, filters and vector masks.
(Note: There are many other excellent tutorials, published in the FireTuts27 website, do check them out!)
Working with Masks in Fireworks Video Tutorial Link
Working with Masks in Fireworks28 is a bit long video tutorial (close to half an hour!) by Jim Babbage29, but from it you'll learn everything you need to know about masking with Fireworks — how to create vector masks, how to easily edit already created masks, working with gradients in masks, etc.
Realistic 3D simulation with reflection in Fireworks Tutorial Link
Realistic 3D simulation with reflection in Fireworks32 (by Lucian Dragomir33) will teach you a thing or two and the end results look very elegant.
8 Essential Fireworks Tips For Web Design Tutorial Link
8 Essential Fireworks Tips For Web Design35 is a tutorial (originally published in .net magazine UK36 and written by Jonathan Snook37), which takes a good look at the features that make Fireworks so useful for web designers (these include styles, pages and states, rich symbols, and more). Jonathan also shares a few other time-saving tips in this tutorial! If you are a Photoshop die-hard fan and wondered why you'd ever should try Fireworks, or if you have been using Fireworks for years and are looking to improve your workflow, then this tutorial is just for you.
Easy Odometer Icon Tutorial Link
The Easy Odometer Icon38 tutorial (by Tiago Camargo) is an easy-to-follow tutorial in which you'll learn how to deal with Fireworks vector objects, live filters and blending modes.
(Note: The FWPolice4039 website also offers many types Fireworks vector freebies41 and has many other tutorials42 about Fireworks.)
Refining Your Design In Adobe Fireworks Tutorial Link
In the "Refining Your Design In Adobe Fireworks43" tutorial, Benjamin De Cock44 shares a few excellent tips and tricks when working with Fireworks, accompanied by many helpful illustrations and screenshots. We have published this tutorial in 2012, but it's still highly useful to read even today!
Fireworks: The Things You Might Have Missed Tutorial Link
This is a very old tutorial by Trevor McCauley but you can still learn a few smart Fireworks tips and tricks from it: scaling of attributes of objects, using vector shapes for bitmap marquees, selective JPEG quality, hiding/showing selection edges, finding and replacing colors (or text) in FW PNG files, the difference between subselect and superselect, tweening symbols for duplication, and so much more. This is an old classic!
(Trevor is well-known in the Fireworks community; he has created many useful Fireworks extensions48 and recently even open-sourced49 them, releasing the source code on GitHub50.)
Index and Alpha Transparency in Fireworks Tutorial Link
In "Index and Alpha Transparency in Fireworks51," Dave Hogue9152 (currently UX design manager @ Google) is taking an in-depth look at index and alpha transparency and how to use them in Fireworks to your advantage.
(Note: It's a not-so-well known fact that for many years, Fireworks was the only design application53 that could export PNG8 files which included both index and alpha transparency! These PNG8 index+alpha files were displayed correctly across all browsers, including Internet Explorer 6, which couldn't render properly PNG files with an alpha transparency channel.)
FireworksGuruForum Community Link
The forum members of the FireworksGuruForum54 (created by Alan Musselman12855), while not so active as in the past, are still there to help you, should you have any questions regarding Fireworks. But what's more important, there are many useful resources published there (freebies, tutorials, useful links, Fireworks PNG files and templates, styles, etc.).
Adobe Fireworks Tutorials by Craig Erskine Link
In this series of Adobe Fireworks (mini) tutorials56, Craig Erskine8057 will teach you many basic and advanced techniques. These tutorials were written mostly for users who have a very strong understanding of Fireworks, but even if you are not a Fireworks expert, they're still worth checking out!
The Endless Fireworks vs. Photoshop Battle Article Link
"The Endless Fireworks vs. Photoshop Battle58" article was written over 3 years ago by Ivo Mynttinen985911 and is still relevant today, even if we know that in the end, Photoshop became the apparent winner in this battle — but not because it proved to be a better UI design tool than Fireworks, but because Adobe always wanted to market it as such.
The article is pretty long and goes into great detail about what are the strengths and weaknesses of both apps when used specifically for UI design — web, mobile, icon design, etc. Do check it out! (Btw, today Ivo still uses Fireworks but has moved a lot of his workflow to Sketch60; and he's not the only one61.)
The Power of Adobe Fireworks Article Link
"The Power of Adobe Fireworks62" is an article which I wrote in 2010 (how time flies by!) and in which tried to show all the various types of work that Fireworks can be used for — UI and icon design, illustration, web design, even digital painting.
The list of designers and illustrators, whose work I have showcased in my article, included Matthew Inman (the cool guy behind The Oatmeal63 comic strips), Rogie King64 (designer and illustrator, who's always on page #165), Ryan Hicks66 (Senior UX Designer at Adobe), Craig Erskine67 (known to many with his successful "Fireworks PNG Weeks7968" series), Jon Hicks69 (the inventor of the Firefox logo, among other things), and many others. (It does not include the work of great illustrators (and Fireworks masters) such as Isabel Aracama12270, James Parker71 or Fabio Benedetti72, with whose work I was acquainted with at a much later time… I should perhaps consider a Part 2 one day!)
50 Reasons not to use Photoshop for Web Design Article Link
The "50 Reasons not to use Photoshop for Web Design73" (by André Reinegger) feels like a direct feature comparison between Photoshop and Fireworks. It's a bit outdated today (and yes, so many years later Photoshop can finally create and edit rounded rectangles!) but many of the reasons outlined there are still valid. In its core, Photoshop was designed to be used for manipulation of raster images and for print tasks; it was not designed to create pixel-precise screen layouts, or to make quick changes to them.
Photoshop is used for this purpose however (UI and web design) because many designers are familiar with the program. However, other tools exist that were designed from the ground-up to be UI design tools and perform the task better; and among them is Fireworks (although Sketch and a few other new tools are starting to catch up and real fast).
Adobe Fireworks, a Super Hero that is Hard to Kill Article Link
Why not approach the subject of Fireworks vs. Photoshop with a bit of humor? André Reinegger is trying just that in "Adobe Fireworks, a Super Hero that is Hard to Kill74." Adobe has no tool in their portfolio today that can replace Fireworks in full, and it's doubtful if Adobe will invent such a tool, now that they froze the development of Fireworks. But the good news is that Adobe still keeps Fireworks in their Creative Cloud list of apps and it runs fine on latest Windows OS and MacOS X. There are also hundreds of excellent free extensions which add valuable new features to Fireworks.
10 Reasons why I prefer Fireworks to Photoshop for Web Design Article Link
In "10 Reasons why I prefer Fireworks to Photoshop for Web Design76," Leigh Howells (designer at Headscape77) shares why he has decided to make the transition from Photoshop to Fireworks. He was a Photoshop user for over sixteen years (ten of which have been in a production web design environment). When Fireworks CS4 was released, he decided to have another look at Fireworks. He played with it a bit, and was very impressed by some of its features. Soon after that he started producing much of his day-to-day work in Fireworks.
Some of the reasons he mentions are the ability to have multiple pages (with master page) in one Fireworks PNG document; symbols and styles; the powerful vector features of Fireworks; the 9-slice scaling tool, and a few others.
7 Reasons Why I Choose Fireworks Over Photoshop Article Link
So, you are still in doubt about Fireworks? Let Russell McGovern tell you his reasons for using Fireworks in "7 Reasons Why I Choose Fireworks Over Photoshop78." He takes his time to efficiently visualize the evident advantages of the program and explains his preferences and the key features of Fireworks that help him in his UI daily design tasks.
Fireworks PNG Files, Templates, Style Presets & Resource Libraries
Dragnet Wireframes Kit for Adobe Fireworks Link
Dragnet Website Wireframes Kit for Adobe Fireworks (by Jonas Skoglund) is a common library with over 25 objects that make rapid prototyping of websites much easier in Fireworks.
Yes, Fireworks comes pre-loaded with a library of similar web elements that look really nice, but Jonas developed the kit because he wanted to create something a bit more rough, something that looked more like sketches, so the clients (or the user test participants) wouldn't get distracted by the design when instead they should focus more on the function behind the web page or application.
Fireworks PNG Weeks Series Link
Fireworks PNG Weeks7968 is a collection of 52 high-quality Fireworks editable PNG files that you can download and de-construct in Fireworks at your ease. It was a project by Craig Erskine8057 and quite a cool one, because often, one can learn a lot when taking a close look at the work of others!
Dribbble Records Fireworks PNG Link
Dribbble Records82 is a Fireworks PNG freebie which is based on a Dribbble shot83 of mine. I liked the end result, so I decided to release the file as a freebie (for personal/non-commercial use). If you open the file in Fireworks, you can learn a bit about gradients, blending modes and live filters.
Dark UI Kit Templates Link
Dark UI Kit87 (by Dustin Evans) is a great looking set of templates for Adobe Fireworks which is completely free. You can learn from it or just (re)use the templates in both personal and commercial projects.
The kit is in Fireworks PNG format and contains five pages, each one containing elements of different type: menus and tabs, alerts and validation dialogs, sliders, etc.
Simple User Interface Kit Templates Link
The Simple User Interface Kit (by Stefan Hiienurm"89) is a set of clean UI templates which will help you to do (and learn) better design. It's available in both Fireworks PNG and Photoshop PSD editable formats. (Note: The kit is not free, but costs only $12.00. In this article, I tried to collect mostly free items, available for Fireworks, but sometimes an exception or two is OK, if the quality is very good.)
Hipster Photo Styles for Fireworks Link
As the name suggests, Instant Hipster Photo Styles for Adobe Fireworks90 (created by Dave Hogue9152) is a set of non-destructive photo styles that can be easily used on any photo or image. They include 17 variations (sepia, polaroid, sunrise, black & white, tint, sketch, etc.) and were optimized for images from 300 x 300 to 750 x 750 pixels (which makes them perfect for use on the web and when sharing pictures by email); but they can also be applied to a photo of any size, of course.
With Instant Hipster photo styles, you can make your own Hipstamatic-style shots right within Fireworks and even send them instantly to Twitter or Flickr with the help of the TweetFire or FlickrFire extensions, which I have reviewed earlier in detail.
I tried to play a bit with these a while ago and found them both easy and fun to use. What's better: you're not limited to using the styles "as is" only! You can download a style set, tweak the styles to suit your taste better, and re-save them. Or, you can create your own style sets from scratch: pick up a few live filters, adjust their properties, experiment, and when ready, simply save as a new style. Easy!
Webportio Library of Fireworks Resources Link
Webportio93 (created by Jiří Plíštil94) is a library of Fireworks resources, quite regularly updated. It contains a few hundred graphical elements in editable Fireworks PNG format (icons, buttons, forms, patterns, ribbons, etc.), and also various other resources, like grids, styles, website templates, etc. All of the resources are free and well categorized. They have been downloaded over 400'000 times since the Webportio site was launched.
Fireworks Library by Aaron Beall Link
The Fireworks Library96 by Aaron Beall97 is a small library of high-quality Fireworks editable PNG files, patterns, styles and symbols. You can freely use any of them in your projects, or learn by de-constructing them in Fireworks.
FireworksLab Library of Resources Link
Finally, I should also mention FireworksLab. It was an excellent free design resources site for Adobe Fireworks files, created by Ivo Mynttinen985911. Ivo started FireworksLab because in 2010 there were not many resource sites with quality Fireworks files; in addition he wanted to support the growing Fireworks community. For the time that FireworksLab existed (less than two years), Ivo and a few contributors have designed and released 47 freebies which have been downloaded around 300'000 times!
The project was shut down at the end of 2012, but luckily for all of us, Ivo is still providing the Fireworks resources created in one large ZIP archive. If you want to use or learn from any of them, go to the FireworksLab announcement post99, section "Can I still download the old FireworksLab resources?", and get the archive!
In Part 1100 and Part 2 of this Adobe Fireworks Resources (2014 Edition), I tried to collect all the best resources, available today for designers using Fireworks.
Did I miss to mention any important resources, extensions, styles, articles or tutorials? I probably most certainly did! My list is by no means complete, but truth is, one cannot list each and every valuable resource that is available for Fireworks today — there are way too many of them — thanks to the amazing Fireworks community! We've also published over 25 high-quality articles and tutorials in our Fireworks section101 over the last two years, and I can recommend reading each one of them!
Where to go from here? Link
As I mentioned in my recent article, the future of Fireworks102 is certainly not bright, but as of 2014, it's still a solid piece of software that can help UI designers work in a very efficient way.
Do I believe Fireworks is still better than many other UI design tools available today? Yes103. Personally, I use Fireworks CS5.1 and CS6 on Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit, and find both of them stable, useful, and quite indispensable in my workflow. I also use many free extensions which add valuable features to Fireworks, like the SVG import104/export105 commands; without its extensions, Fireworks wouldn't be where it is today.
Is Fireworks still relevant? Link
Is Fireworks still relevant in the fast-pacing software world? Yes — to some extent, at least. Fireworks is like a smart Swiss-knife tool — it can be used in a variety of ways, and while none of its tools are unique, as a whole, it becomes a powerful and versatile106 application (try browsing Dribbble, searching for shots tagged "Fireworks107"):
- For example, Fireworks can be used to help you create modern, responsive websites, both during the UX and interaction design stages108 and during the visual design stage109, as this detailed case studies (by Olawale Oladunni) proved.
- Fireworks can be extended in a variety of ways and even if the core of the app is not getting any major updates from Adobe, extensions can continue add new functionality. In this regard, projects like Project Phoenix110 are very important, as well as the countless number of extensions, published by John Dunning111, Aaron Beall112, Matt Stow113, Trevor McCauley114, and many other extension developers.
- Fireworks can be used for wireframing and prototyping115, web design, UI design, icon design, mobile apps design (for both Retina and non-Retina screens), and screen illustration. Since in its core Fireworks is a powerful vector design tool, scaling to any screen resolution is not an issue (plus, it supports SVG116).
- And while Fireworks excels with vectors, it can also edit bitmaps, too — no need to switch to another tool if you need to quickly make a few color correction to an imported graphic or if you need to crop it/mask it, etc. (This is one of the main differences between Fireworks and a few of its modern alternatives, such as Sketch117).
- What about collaboration with Fireworks? Fireworks can perform equally well in individual designer's workflows and when used by large design teams118. With the help of pattern symbol libraries119 and style guide symbol libraries120 the collaboration process can become even easier.
- Does Fireworks have some problems? Yes! Its last version (CS6) was released in 2013 and while it works fine on latest Windows OS and Mac OS X, it has some issues — for example, partial incompatibility with Retina MacBook Pros (there is some "pixellization" in the interface), and inability to use more than 2 GB of RAM (Fireworks works well on 32bit and 64bit machines, but because it's a 32bit application, there are limits as to how much memory it can handle). And it has a few bugs, of course (but which app doesn't?).
Alternatives to Fireworks? Link
You can continue to use Fireworks today, but as I mentioned earlier, it's a good idea to start looking for alternatives. And there are a few UI design tools that might become sooner or later pretty good replacements to Fireworks.
Here are four of them:
- Sketch125 (by Bohemian Coding126) is UI design tool for Mac which, as of version 3.0, has integrated many of the features that only Fireworks had until now. Its vector tools are quite powerful and it has symbols, pages, artboards, styles, and many other tools that should help UI designers be more efficient. It feels a bit sad that it's for Mac OS X only (sorry, Windows users!), and its bitmap editing abilities are very limited, but if you're on a Mac and work mostly with vectors, give it a try — you probably will like it! (And it's not very expensive, too; Sketch 3.0 costs $79.00, as far as I know).
- Project EvolveUI127 is still in alpha development stage and is a relatively new open source project by Alan Musselman12855. You can join the google group of the project129 if you want to test the early builds and discuss its present and future features. EvolveUI screen design tool will be able to run on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, and will be tailored specifically for UX and UI designers, information architects and web developers. Sounds promising!
- Skala130 is a project by Marc Edwards131. This UI and icon design tool promises to deliver a unique blend of vector, bitmap and 3D abilities. Today Skala is in a closed beta stage132, but a public beta will likely be open before the end of 2014. So far the plans of the team are to make a Mac-only version, but perhaps a Windows version might be considered at some point in the future, too.
- Gravit133 is a new UI design tool for Windows and Mac (developed by Quasado) that is currently in beta stage134 but should be released to the public very soon, in August. It promises quite a few features that might replace Fireworks, and will be completely free until version 2.0 is released. You can get the early news in the newsletter135 or on Twitter (@gravit_io136, @quasado).
- (last-minute click) Affinity Designer137 is a new UI design tool for Mac, currently in open beta stage138. You can try it for free or follow the news via the @MacAffinity139 Twitter account. The tool promises to be very fast, with a robust set of vector and bitmap editing tools, custom auto shapes, and with excellent compatibility with
SVGfile formats.
So, do you use Fireworks in your work? Have you recently found a good alternative to it? It'd be great if you could share your experiences with the tool in the comments section below.
A special thanks goes to Vitaly Friedman140 who helped me compile this extensive list of Fireworks resources and who inspired me to write this article!

Refrigerated Trailer Leasing - Schenectady, NY - Phone: (518) 899-2238
Refrigeration equipment is also known as heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment (HVAC). The refrigeration equipment is used by refrigeration technicians and engineers to carry on different task. Generally in Schenectady, the refrigeration equipment can be divided into two categories, namely refrigerant charging equipment and refrigerant recovery equipment.
In Schenectady, refrigerant charging equipment is associated with the charging system of the refrigerators. They either give charge to new refrigerators or recharge the old ones, which are unable to produce any cooling effect. Refrigerant recovery equipment recovers the refrigerant gases out of the systems which are going to be discarded. There are a large number of dealers in Schenectady which sell all types of refrigeration equipment.
Biofuel: Food In, Fuel Out, But Is It The Answer We're looking For?
(Long Island, NY) In today's environmentally-conscious worldview that is being shared by more and more people, alternative fuel sources are the Holy Grail of the "green" movement. There are many new ways to eschew hydrocarbon-laden gasoline when it comes to filling up your vehicle's tank at the pump, and one of the most oft-talked about are biofuels- mainly ethanol and..

Step 1: Online Research
Suss out your style and what sort of look you want to go for before you head to the shops. Write lists of everything you need, dimensions and also take the measurements of your lift so you know what items you can actually logistically buy.
Try Di-Mension Living as a first port of call. My advice is to figure out what items you like, then at step two check you like them in person in a more expensive shop, then finally, purchase said item at a fraction of the cost from Di-mensions's website. They make everything in China and can offer a range of fabrics and colours. Perfect for finding those cool replica items at a fraction of the cost elsewhere. You could even visit their showroom in Tai Koo.
Di-Mension Living, Unit A6, 18/F, Wah Ha Factory Building, No.8 Shipyard Lane, Tai Koo Hong Kong, 2246 8382. Open Tuesday-Saturday 12-7pm, Sunday 12-6pm and Monday for appointments only. www.di-mension.com
Step 2: Horizon Plaza – The Big Items
Horizon Plaza is a furniture lover's dream. 28 floors of stores dedicated almost exclusively to furniture. Armed with the Sassy guide on how to tackle Horizon plaza (see here!), I had the most successful day's shopping ever! The shops may not be the cheapest but it's perfect for buying all your main items in one place. Here are my top picks:
Tequila Kola – perfect for original-looking items that add a real sense of character to your home. Think vintage trunks, statement items and Chesterfield sofas. Visit the main showroom on the 1st floor where discounts are offered for bulk purchases or EPS payments… And don't forget to make a visit to their 17th floor discount outlet where some incredible items of furniture can be bought for up to 30% off.
Tequila Kola, 1/F (discount outlet 17/F), Horizon Plaza, 2 Lee Wing Street, Ap Lei Chau, Hong Kong, 2877 3295, Open Monday-Saturday 10am-7pm, Sunday & Public Holidays 12pm – 7pm. www.tequilakola.com
Indigo Living – a good option for large, key items such as sofas and dining tables as well as smaller decorative pieces such as cushions. A little expensive but they do seasonal offers and promotions. They also have a fantastic collaboration range with famed British interior designer Kelly Hoppen. But a real bonus is the fact that they measure your lift before delivery to ensure the furniture will actually fit!
Indigo Living, 6/F, Horizon Plaza, 2 Lee Wing Street, Ap Lei Chau, Hong Kong, 2555 0530. Open daily 10am – 7pm. www.indigo-living.com
Marc James – a small store with more targeted items such as chairs and dining tables. They sell stylish, replica classics but at a cost much lower than many of their competitors. Sign up to their loyalty card for further discounts.
Marc James, 16/F, Horizon Plaza, 2 Lee Wing Street, Ap Lei Chau, Hong Kong, 2517 2000, Open daily 10am – 7pm. www.marcjamesdesign.com
Offspring – whilst one half of this store is dedicated to gorgeous children's items, the other half stocks quirky but cosy furniture items and rustic themed decorative pieces. A favourite is their fantastic black location board, which they can personalise with your own choice of location names.
Offspring, 15/F, Horizon Plaza, 2 Lee Wing Street, Ap Lei Chau, Hong Kong, 9327 5263. Open Monday-Friday 10.30am-5.30pm, Saturday & Sunday 11.30am–5.30pm. Also located in The Repulse Bay.
TREE – well worth a visit for its signature style of wood-heavy, family-friendly furniture. A real Sassy favourite for those larger items and also its fabulous children's selection. A sassy secret is to start with Tree, as it's at the very top and load up with cakes and coffee for energy before you set off down the stairs! Tree provides eco-chic, stylish furniture to suit every taste.
TREE, 28/F, Horizon Plaza, 2 Lee Wing Street, Ap Lei Chau, Hong Kong, 2870 1582. Open daily 10.30am-7pm. Also located in Soho, Cyberport and Sai Kung (see the website for full addresses). www.tree.com.hk
Inside – a real gem with Indian rustic-style furniture. They also stock clothes, accessories, bath ware, soft furnishings, lighting… the list goes on! For those who like soft colours, beautiful prints and delicate fabrics, we suggest you head here – whether you deck out your whole home or just go for certain signature items.
Inside, 12/F, Horizon Plaza, 2 Lee Wing Street, Ap Lei Chau, Hong Kong, 2873 1795. Open Monday-Friday 10am – 6pm, Saturday & Sunday 11am – 7pm. Also located in The Prince's Building, Central and The Repulse Bay (see the website for full addresses). www.inside.com.hk
Step 3: Quirkier, independent shops for statement items and unique pieces
Mirth – head over to Aberdeen and browse their collection of global and individually sourced items suitable for homes, children and much more. Many of the items are one-off but all have a really unique appeal to them. Our personal favourites are their industrial-feel dining chairs, which come in a range of colours.
Mirth Home, 23 Wong Chuk Hang Road, Aberdeen, Hong Kong, 2553 9811. Open daily 10am – 6pm. www.mirthhome.com
Attic Lifestyle – a diverse range of independent and unique items from around the world. Businesswoman Simone has created a homeware haven of handpicked items ranging from handmade throws, Fairtrade rugs and kitchen must-haves. Head here to really give your home a sense of heart and soul.
Attic Lifestyle, Unit 4, 12/F, Sungib Industrial Building, 53 Wong Chuk Hang Road, Aberdeen, Hong Kong, 6901 6715. Open Wednesday–Saturday 10am-2pm or by appointment. www.attic-lifestyle.com
Step 4: The privileged few
If you're lucky enough to live somewhere with outside space, a real secret is that most outdoor stores source their furniture from the same suppliers but charge outrageously varied prices. Wicka Designs has a fantastic range of furniture, which is stylish and durable, but at the lowest possible prices.
Wicka Designs, 1/F, BT Centre, 23 Wong Chuk Hang Road, Aberdeen, Hong Kong, 2422 0885. Open Tuesday-Sunday 10am-6pm. www.wickadesigns.com
Step 5: For smaller furniture items and those final all-important home staples
Franc Franc – if your apartment is somewhat horizontally impaired making space tight, Japanese chain Franc Franc focuses on stylish yet practically-designed items that are ideal for smaller spaces. They have a range of sofas, dining tables and the such like that are perfect for studios or awkward spaces. They also stock fashion, interior, bath and kitchen products.
Franc Franc flagship store, 2nd Floor, Hang Lung Center, 2-20 Paterson Street, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, 3427 3366. Also located at Festival Walk, Kowloon Tong and k11, Tsim Sha Tsui (see website for full addresses). www.francfranc.com.hk
Ikea – you don't need me to tell you why to go here. Unbeatable for certain items such as side tables, kitchen equipment and spare bedding. They even have a surprisingly good rug selection! But be warned, head there on the weekend at your peril. Many head here as a destination rather than to shop (and make themselves at home accordingly – we've spotted people literally putting their feet up!). Go once and make it epic, with a clear list of what you need.
Ikea, Upper Basement, Park Lane Hotel, Great George Street, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, 3125 0888. Open daily 10.30am–10.30pm. Also located at Megabox, Kowloon Bay and Sha Tin (see website for full addresses). www.ikea.com/hk/en
Pricerite – think of this at as the Hong Kong version of Ikea! This should take care of most of your basic homeware needs (although it does also sell a decent range of sofas and beds) and is particularly good for storage solutions and other practical, functional items – watch them sell-out of fans and mobile air-conditioning units come summer!
Pricerite, practically everywhere! http://e-catalogue.pricerite.com.hk
Japan Home Centre – this should be the very last place you visit. Suitable for ironing boards, cleaning equipment and random kitchen appliances. Don't expect to find stuff of the highest quality but bag some practical items at bargain prices.
Japan Home Centre, also everywhere! www.japanhome.com.hk
So there you have it, my 6-step apartment furnishing guide.

Tournaments / Re: GBO 2016 Registration dates released« on: November 06, 2015, 10:35:27 AM »
Yeah, the pull of the glass was too much. Must.....have.....
This section allows you to view all posts made by this member. Note that you can only see posts made in areas you currently have access to.
This is the first tournament i'll have played before and i had a question that i'm hoping someone can answer for me. My girlfriend was wanting to come out and watch the tourney but i didn't know if she did whether she could walk the courses with me or if she would have to be somewhere else as a spectator? Do alot of people come out just to watch these kinds of things?
Just throwin' it out there......Since I/we'll be up in KC for this tomorrow in the first place, I'm willing to drop if someone just happens to have 2 Game
12 tickets handy, and depending on price.
Cheapest upper level $167 per ticket
Skyrockets from there.
Heading down to Wichita in the next few days. What's the best course in that area?
OAK PARK HANDS DOWN!!! Right TALLGuy?
Btw, when's the Round Up? Rumor is Nov 7th. Can you confirm?
And TallGuy?
It resulted in a waste of time. As for the golf, I have no idea.
Fun Fact! I could care less what you did on every hole, every time you played it, before that day in which you are playing it with me, as I see from the result of you last shot(s) of how bad you are. Even though you are trying to get it across to me and everyone else, including the trees, that you are much better than this. Regardless if you set the course record. I get that you must have those skills. On that topic you don't have to tell me about said course record every 6 holes. I got it the first time, both rounds.
Oh and I saw some people I knew. Like James, Loomis, Isaac and others.
There is much more but I will not spread those rumors online where it can come back to haunt me.

J. Mayweather: Orlando Salido Owned Juanma Lopez
By Chris Robinson
When WBO featherweight champion Juan Manuel Lopez was stopped this past weekend in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, the boxing world was thrown a definite curve ball. Undefeated in thirty fights with twenty-seven knockouts to his credit, Lopez was a huge favorite to upend former titleist Orlando Salido and further pave his way towards a unification tilt with WBA champion Yuriorkis Gamboa but saw those immediate plans go up in flames.
Lopez controlled the early rounds against Salido but suffered a wicked knockdown in the fifth after eating a left-right combination and wasn't the same afterwards. He was again rattled in the eighth and despite trading with Salido along the ropes and appearing to have most of his bearings about him, referee Roberto Ramirez Jr. had seen enough and saved the champion from any further punishment.
As he sat watching the fight unfold in his Las Vegas bases, trainer Jeff Mayweather, who has had a vested interest in Lopez in recent times, seemed to think that the call was just.
"I thought he was clearly getting beaten," Mayweather told me earlier tonight. "I think they saved him some embarrassment when they did [stop it] because it looked like he was going to get knocked out anyways as opposed to physically stopped. He showed good moments in the fight as well but for the most part Salido owned Lopez."
Mayweather has had his eye on Lopez for well over a year as he trains former WBA super bantamweight champion Celestino Caballero, who for years has been clamoring for a collision with Lopez. For the longest time Lopez has seemed to shy away from such a contest and took some shots at Caballero last November following his shocking upset to Jason Litzau, claiming that the loss was proof that the Panamanian was never on his level to begin with.
When I asked Mayweather if Lopez's recent meltdown makes him look especially bad after seeing him go out of his way to diss Caballero, the mild-mannered yet outspoken coach seemed to agree. Mayweather also addressed Lopez's claims that Caballero wasn't a big enough draw to warrant such a fight, noting that the Puerto Rican's previous fight against Rafael Marquez inside of the MGM Grand was far from a sellout.
"Of course it makes him look bad," Mayweather remarked. "Basically it goes to show you that it is karma. And one thing, he may be huge in Puerto Rico but here in Vegas he's nothing because he only had five-thousand people here or less. I mean that fight belonged in a small ballroom not a place that seats ten or fifteen-thousand."
Without trying to spit too much venom towards Lopez, Mayweather simply pointed out that what Lopez went through on Saturday night in Puerto Rico was similar to Caballero's disappointing outing against Litzau, who was presumed to be inferior to him in nearly every capacity.
"Everybody is entitled to an off night and that's what Celestino had. It's the same thing that happened with Lopez. It's the exact same scenario. But Lopez got stopped. Celestino at least moved up in weight and fought a bigger guy," Jeff said.
Caballero is back in Las Vegas and was recently seen inside of Floyd Mayweather's personal facility on the West side of town training with Jeff. The duo is looking towards a crack at WBA champion Jonathan Barros and Mayweather insists Caballero is coming to camp with a definite chip on his shoulder, as he did when they first linked up in January of last year.
"That's the fight. That's what we are training for. The fight is either going to be in Argentina or in Panama. He's like the old Celestino who came to me. When he first came to me I didn't really know much about him and it was a situation where it's like 'You don't know who I am but I'm going to show you who I am' and that's what he did. He made a statement in camp and he impressed a whole lot of people. And that's where he's at again."

UK: Man lured to house and viciously attacked in homophobic assault by gang of three
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
I don't believe, as some people do, that all homophobes are closet cases, but if you read the article on Thisischeshire it would certainly seem as though Uhlar is – he got chatting with the victim on a website "for a joke" (yeah, right) and then, it would appear, felt he had to put up a show with his mates.
Either that or, just as possibly, they're three mindless thugs filled with hatred (for their useless lives, perhaps?) with just enough brains to find their victims online.
I agree with you there. I think a lot of intense homophobes are closet cases, but definitely not all. Some are just bullies who see gays as easy targets.
Homophobia is an irrational hatred of homosexuality. If one examines why some people are irrationally homophobic and some people are not, one has to come to the conclusion that it is something within the homophobic which drives them to their hatred. Every piece of research done over the past few years points conclusively to the fact that "the greater the homophobe the greater the closet case". It's about self loathing projected outwardly. Why was this person on a gauge outside in the first place? By beating-up someone gay they are in effect beating up the gayness in themselves.
Sorry – gay website not whatever SIRI thought I said ….
Every piece of research done over the past few years points conclusively to the fact that "the greater the homophobe the greater the closet case".
I'm pretty sure they have not. Sure, there are likely to be a fair few of people like this but we can't tackle the problem if we just assume they're all closet cases as a feeble way at pretend we know exactly what is going on to seem like 'the ones in the right'
It's been proven over and over again that those who have the most violently homophobic views are themselves hiding same-sex desires. There have been numerous studies which show this to be the case.
The subconscious response of the male genitalia cannot lie in this regard.
I hope that all three are given lengthy prison terms, and if they are not British nationals they should be immediately deported the moment they are released from prison.
Serve time in this country for committing the crime against our laws, then be ejected from this country too. That's the only way to deal with scum like these men.
Totally correct. Yet my comment above gets a thumbs down. Weird.
Deport them back to Slovakia after serving their sentences. They do not deserve to walk our streets again.
Send them back to Slovakia or wherever the hell it is they come from. Why should we have to pay for their bloody stint in jail?!! Dross.
This seems to mirror the tactics used by Russian homophobes since the draconian anti-gay law was introduced by Putin.
Before coming to the UK, every applicant should have to pass an anti homophobia test to see if they fit in with British values. If they don't, their application gets denied.
I agree with you, but the politically-correct gays of the UK would never allow it, as that would keep out too many Muslims. Don't forget gays want a "diverse" UK.
That should come after the anti-homophobia test that all UK residents should pass first, to ensure they fit in with British values, shouldn't it?
why are they not deported -hopefully they will be. Just be careful when using any dating site gay straight bi trans – very sad and hope the guy attacked is doing ok

In January, the district began purchasing new instruments and equipment for Junior High and High School bands, choirs, and orchestras. Wichita Falls ISD received donations from the Bridwell Foundation, Perkins/Prothro, and Priddy Foundation totaling $443,000.
Last year, the district faced major budget cuts due to lack of state funding. So, Dr. Dan White, the Fine Arts Curriculum Coordinator, began writing grants and looking for local help to support the arts.
"A good student line tuba right now cost anywhere between 8 to 5,000 dollars, and so when you multiply that by as many bands as we have and as many of kids as we have it becomes a really expensive adventure just to keep up with the equpitment," said Dr. White.
Tuesday night, to show their appreciation to the donors high school and junior high music students gave a performance using the new instruments. Dr. White says the old instruments had been used for the last 20 to 40 years.

Does the AT&T's version of LG Nexus 4 supports 4G LTE? How to get 4g speeds on the AT&T LG Nexus 4? I believe that many owners are having the trouble. After a couple days of back and forth with sales reps and tech support, I think I have it figured out. I'll try to make this an easy to follow guide.
First thing's first, you need to have a 4G data plan. To check which data plan you currently have, you can log into your account on http://www.att.com.
Setting the APN:
- Name: AT&T HSPA+
- APN: pta (NOTE: IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN LTE PLAN, CHANGE THIS TO "PHONE")
- Proxy: Not set
- Port: Not set
- Username: Not set
- Password: Not set
- MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
- MMS Proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
- MMS port: 80 (NOTE: IF MMS ISN'T WORKING, CHANGE THIS TO "8080")
- Authentication type: Not set
- APN type: default,admin,fota,mms,supl,hipri
- APN protocol: IPv4/IPv6
- APN roaming protocol: IPv4/IPv6
- Bearer: Unspecified
Type *#*#4636#*#* into your LG Nexus 4. This should open up "Testing" –> "Phone Information" –> "Set preferred network type:" –> "LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)". If you happen to be in an area with AT&T band 4 LTE, you will be able to connect to it.

Good and Easy Salmon
Total Time
Prep 35 mins
Cook 10 mins
This is really easy and tastes great with a slightly sweet taste. Recipe source: Bon Appetit (October 2005)
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 cup maple syrup
- 1⁄4 cup soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon adobo sauce (from a can of chipotle chilies)
- 1 1⁄2-2 lbs salmon fillets
- In a pie pan whisk together syrup, soy sauce and adobo sauce. Add salmon, turning to coat and let marinate for at least 30 minutes (but not over one hour).
- Drain marinade into a saucepan.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat (I used a cast iron pan sprayed with Pam) and add salmon cooking until charred and cooked about 3-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness of fish.
- Meanwhile while fish is cooking boil marinade until reduced to 1/4 cup (4-5 minutes) to make glaze.
- Pour glaze over salamon and serve.
Most Helpful
Excellent! I tasted the sauce before marinating the salmon and was tempted to add a bit more adobo. Thank goodness I didn't - it was plenty hot by the time the sauce was reduced.
This was quick and easy to prepare. My husband and his friend and I all loved it. Thank you Ellie! I would have taken a photo, but I was in a big hurry and ate fast, so didn't get time. It sure was good!

I give this a 5-star rating because our tour guide, Max was one of the best guides I've ever had. We learned so much from him and he was a delight to be around. In addition, we were lucky enough to catch the view of Poas which is not easy. Be aware that you may not get a view of Poas. It is the luck of the draw. The Doka estate was much more informative than I thought. It is literally the Robert Mondavi of coffee. And finally, the Sarchi Arts was fabulous! I like this part because this is where you really learned history and culture.
My only suggestion is if we could have made a couple more stops at the local stands after the Poas visited.

This tour packs a lot of events into the allotted time. It was great to see so many different venues, and Alberto was a very entertaining tour guide! Our driver Guillermo was wonderful too. Lunch at Doka Coffee Estate was excellent. The number of people in the tour was kept to under a dozen, which made it a more personal experience.
