Well, good evening fellow fettaholics. I have been working steadily on a suit, and have also done some on the helmet. I figured it was time to start a thread. I hope you all enjoy watching me stumble through this thing!
For starters I have a CC GMH bought from ASOK earlier this year. These things are great! I trimmed it all up and cut it out for starters.
Don't forget your personal protective equipment!
I next filled in the PP helmet damage and added the ESB damage, and then sanded it smooth. For this process I use squadron (?) filling paste. It is for model building. Thanks to Raf for the assist!

This is a nice kit, some trimming and sanding involved like most models. The bench seat and steel rims are now included but they did not go far enough. This kit is designed for a console shifter, not a bench seat shifter and there is no shift boot on the shifter nor is the hole for the shifter in the right place because the hole is where the console mounts. You will need to fill the hole in the floor hump and make another one close to the seat where the shifter belongs. I ended up painting a fake boot on the floor and a chrome ring around it. Still it is the wrong shifter for this application. I also did not like that there is no tachometer in the kit. A big problem with this kit is the poor quality rear slicks that were not properly molded and did not fit the rims tightly. I ended up using black silicone RTV to fill in the gaps. The front springs do not fit the lower arms properly and need to be narrowed at the bottom. You will need to do a lot of bare metal foil or chrome paint trim with this model. There is a decal for the roof stripes. AMT still has some work to do to make this a proper Jenkins Nova kit.

construction adhesive
just used heavy duty construction adhesive in my caulk gun and am hoping to use it over 2-3 times over the next 3-4 days. It didn't come with any kind of cap - what's the best way to keep it healthy during this period - just cover the end with a paper towell, or do i need to use a new one each day?
The paper towel won't work. I'd say your best bet is to take some plastic wrap and cover the end tightly, then rubber band it on. That stuff gets pretty hard pretty quick.
if it does harden just cut the tube back alittle
If I remember, I stick a screw/nail in it, otherwise I ususally forget and just re-poke the hole
Tape it closed with electrical tape!
dont forget to pull back or release the pressure on it or no matter what you put on the tip its all gonna OOZZZ out all over your goodies!
With any caulking, when you cut the little tip off the tube....... save it, and stick it back into the hole (point first) when you're done.
63 Attachment(s)
My method is... put a nail in it, put the tube in a large zip lock, and finally put it in the fridge.
That way, after awhile, you can always unscrew the spout, and pry the dried contents out, while the adhesive/caulk inside the tube is still uncured.

(Jonathan Ryan posting for Jen Schlameuss-Perry.)I'm a big fan of the Green Lantern. If I was going to be a superhero, that's what I'd want to be. Also, the Lanterns remind me of the Catholic Church—they choose people from among the community and assign them to care for the people in that place, they have councils and a hierarchy, they make fabulously horrible mistakes with galactic repercussions and, ultimately, their objective is to bring justice and peace.

Comparison of cerebral perfusion and quantitative EEG in children with supratentorial brain lesions.
Sztriha, Laszlo, Al-Suhaili, Abdul Rahim, Towsey, Michael W., Alpsan, Dogan, Bener, Abdulbari, Berjawi, Y.M., & Prais, Vaclav (1997) Comparison of cerebral perfusion and quantitative EEG in children with supratentorial brain lesions. In De Deyn, Peter P. (Ed.) A Textbook of SPECT in Neurology and Psychiatry. John Libbey Eurotext Ltd, Montrouge, France, pp. 287-295.
The investigation of regional blood flow by SPECT has proved a useful tool in the assessment of various brain disorders. Although most SPECT investigations have been performed on adults, the number of publications on the use of SPECT in children is increasing. The aim of this study was to compare the results of brain SPECT and quantified EEG in a small group of children with heterogenous supratentorial lesions. Our results indicate that there are correlations between regional cerebral blood flow and quantitatively analysed EEG background activity in children with various supratentorial lesions. The statistical analysis indicates that decreased blood flow is coupled with an increased amount of slow wave activity on EEG. These results complement previous findings in adults with stroke and partial epilepsy.

Wooden Soffit Repair on 80 Year Old Home
3 Attachment(s)
We have a couple of areas where our soffit has been damaged by water. The attached pictures show soffit damage on our external garage. There was an area where the flashing pulled away from the brick allowing moisture and water to enter. I attached and fixed the flashing but I have no idea how to fix the damaged soffit tongue and groove area, therefore, any help would be greatly appreciated. The pieces of metal in the pictures are a temporary solution to dry out the wood.
Thanks in advance,
As nasty as all that and the crown moulding look I'd tare it all down and replace with vented beaded vinyl soffit and vinyl crown moulding and never have to deal with it again.
Why is that unistrut there if there's no need for it anymore?
I'm going to pull down the old garage door hangers, but a complete replacement sounds like a bigger job than a repair and more expensive.
"The pieces of metal in the pictures are a temporary solution to dry out the wood."
Have you completed all the roof repairs yet? If not, you have the cart in front of the horse.
The roof / leak has been repaired. Any suggestions on links on how to patch? Thanks.
Not going to find one.
That wood looks like it's tonged and groved. There just is no good way to just patch it.
It's going to be a remove the old rotted stuff and replace.
If you fixed it the way I suggest for that small an area your only talking about $200.00 in materials.
Just checking. Do as JoeC instructs, and carry on!

"The cards came printed on heavy paper and the colors were bright and fun. I ordered them for my daughter's birthday. Everyone that saw them loved them. The picture on the card made them even better. I would buy from tiny prints again."
"This invitation was perfect for our superhero themed birthday! Tiny Prints always has what I need! The paper quality is nice and thick and I love that I could customize the hair color to match my daughter's brown hair. I'm always sure to save a copy for my her memory book. Shipping came sooner than the estimated arrival! Just be sure you read the card size. I had assumed it was 5x7, but it was more like 4x6 - not that that's a problem as everything fit and looked great!"
"The invitations we ordered are wonderful! The quality of the paper is superior - Iwebelieve it will be a keepsake for many of our guests. We were extremely pleased with the color and quality of the picture we uploaded - and each invitation showed this unique quality. The printing, font, and colors are so professionally done - one would never know it was designed and submitted online. Also, it is important to point out how user friendly the website is and also how good the communication is following an order. We received an email advising of our order's review and even that our one special request had been completed. We will definitely use Tiny Prints in the future."
"I loved these invites for my son's 4th birthday. The quality was excellent and everyone commented on how adorable the invitation was."

Posted by Paul
I am a new business owner, and a machinist by trade. Michael was very quick to answer questions and concerns. Also, he was able to communicate the information to me in a way that I was able to understand and clearly communicate it to my partners.
Posted by anonymous
Mike was patient, thorough, and ensured that we understood his advice. He helped us navigate a complex process at our convenience. He was efficient and kept things affordable. Mike knows what he's doing -- he's honest, works hard, and is super smart -- so I will continue to work with him and highly recommend his services to others.
Posted by Joe
Michael prepared and filed all of the necessary documentation to form my new LLC. Unlike lawyers I have worked with in other matters, Michael took a personal interest in my legal needs. He truly sought to understand my vision for the business and my personal goals. He was always available to discuss areas of concern over the phone or in person and was also prompt with email. By conducting most of our correspondence virtually, I saved money, time, and hassle. Michael is a first-rate attorney, and I would recommend his services to anyone!

Haircut with appropriate layering is a good step. It should cut down on knots and tangling. If you think it may be caused by scarves--why not stop wearing them for a short time and see?? If so, you can avoid them, or choose to tangle.
I'm assuming "quite thin" means fine?? as you say it's medium density. In that case, protein should be your friend. I'd try a PT and, depending on what you use, a DT to follow. My fine/low porosity hair loves protein. I do one PT a week and use a lot of products with protein. For me, protein helps to tighten curl, reduce frizz and add volume.
Depending on where you live, the dewpoints have dropped significantly. I live outside of Philly and the dewpoint was 23, I think, yesterday. That's low for this time of the year. You need to add moisture in your products to make up for the lack of moisture in the air. That means that I add an extra layer. When the dewpoints are higher, I use a leave in OR curl enhancer. When they are low, I use a leave in AND a curl enhancer. Always follow with a jelly product (gelatinous consistency, minimal or no chemicals.)

New Zealand, Australia, China, Japan, South Africa, Ireland, England… These are just a few of the many places that RWU has to offer when it comes to studying abroad. Studying abroad means that you get the opportunity to continue your education in another country. Not only will you be learning in a foreign land, you also get the chance to live the life of people from a vast majority of cultures and backgrounds. There are year-long programs, semester long programs, and even shorter programs.
I was given the amazing opportunity to study abroad last winter break in Jamaica for ten days. I was part of a group of fourteen RWU students who traveled to a small Jamaican community where we lived with families, spent time with the residents, toured the country, and educated the community on mental illness. Although this was only a short study abroad experience, it was life changing. I lived in a new culture. I was able to see the world from a different perspective, which opened up my eyes to the rest of the world around me that I had never experienced. Next semester, I will be leaving RWU and my home to study abroad in Limerick, Ireland. Like the Jamaica trip, I know that this experience will be just as life changing and it will be an adventure that I will never forget.
The idea of living in another country may seem like an extremely scary experience. Not only are you in a place that is so different from what you are used to with a huge cultural differences, you are also leaving your family and friends. Going abroad gives you the opportunity to learn about yourself, others, and the country around you. Living abroad lets you do things you never thought you would do or even could do. You meet people that are different from yourself that teach you things that you will take with you for the rest of your life. When you go abroad you are forced to go out of your comfort zone, you learn and you become immersed in a world you can't have imagined being part of. You open your eyes to new people and new experiences that will change the way you look at things at home and the way that you live your life.
The Roger Williams study abroad programs offers all different kinds of programs. If you're feeling really ambitious, you can go away for a whole year or you can go away for just a semester, which seems to be the most popular choice for RWU students. If you are not really willing to give up a whole semester away from school, friends, and family, there are a number of programs that take place over winter break or summer vacation. These programs can be affiliated with majors or they can just be for the experience of living and learning in another country.
While studying abroad is not for everyone, it is something that I think every student should at least consider. There are so many places to go! It is an opportunity that does not come often and it is an experience that can change a person's life. Going abroad is an eye opening adventure that changes the way that you look at things for the rest of your life. Check out the details at the Study Abroad Office in GHH, or email the Director of the program, Kevin C. Hayden at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Dungeon Siege 3 - Treasures of the Sun Review @ Destructoid
This is the first review of DS3: Treasures of the Sun that we've tracked. The score from Destructoid is a modest but serviceable 7.5/10 and here's a sample:
If you didn't care much for Dungeon Siege III in the first place, Treasures of the Sun is not going to change your mind. It doesn't offer anything mind-blowing that magically turns Dungeon Siege III into a masterpiece. But if you thought it was great or even just alright game, this DLC offers a pretty neat package with additional features and some new powers to toy with. The story is far more interesting than anything Dungeon Siege III had to offer, even if most of it is easily overlooked in favor of just mashing those buttons. One choice at the end of the game hints at a larger impact beyond the storyline of Dungeon Siege III, which makes you wonder if Obsidian has plans for a future title that will be affected by this choice.

How to repair a concrete floor we just had repaired!
We've been planning on putting down a solid wood floor in our lounge area, and to that end I did my homework and read that the tolerances for deviation in the concrete are small in glue down operations. I checked the floor and discovered that there were some issues, mainly a high spot in one area which created a slight ridge across the width of the floor, with the floor being about 1/4" out of bubble level either end of the room in relation to the high spot/ridge. Aside from that it was dead flat (not level, but flat) except for a couple of small shallow depressions. The other issue was that the entire floor, ridge and all, inclined towards the short side of the room, with the deviation being about 1/2" from one side of the room to the other.
Bottom line, we decided to have the floor completely leveled by a concrete professional, and called in someone suggested by a neighbor.
The guy rolled up with a 2 x 4 and a level to do some initial checking, but needn't have bothered as I'd already drawn out lines on the floor and set up some leveled lengths of wood of my own to show where the issues were. (I later discovered that the 2 x 4 he'd brought along was as bent as a banana, which should have set off the warning lights!) After checking it all out he gave us a quote of $600 including materials to do the 20 x 14 room, which was about double what I expected, but as I figured he'd need a fair bit of material and might have to put in a fair amount of work getting a true level across the entire room I thought that maybe I'd under-estimated the extent of the work, so I ended up agreeing to the figure.
Later that afternoon his son turned up and did some grinding down of the high spots, which seemed to auger well, though I was a little puzzled why he started working areas at what I knew to be the low side of the floor.
Next day the son turned up and took me by surprise when he started filling in the few shallow spots I knew existed, rather than setting out to level the entire floor. When I called him on it, he claimed he'd been misled by his father and that he was simply flattening out the room lengthways, rather than bubble-leveling the entire thing as I'd expected and thought I'd paid for. There could have been no doubt on the matter, as I had numerous pieces of wood set at bubble level when they came round in order to show the deviations and to show the level to which I expected the floor to be raised. A series of phone calls later, his disgruntled father turned up, and they began ladling cement all over the floor and working it around, and I breathed a sigh of relief that I was finally getting what we needed. Only problem was that we didn't get anything like what we needed!
Just watching the patriarch of the family at work set off all sorts of alarm bells as it seemed the guy was clearly free-handing everything with nary a thought to our requirements. The first concern was when they started laying the cement fairly thickly at the high end of the room, which seemed odd as I figured they would use it as the bench mark to both make a level line across the length of the room and then use it to work their way 'down' the lower level of the floor. At no stage did the guy ever pull out a level to check his work or set a base measure (in fact I don't think he had one with him nor did he avail himself of the opportunity to use either of mine that were handy) and the way he kept 'floating' out each new bucket of cement made me nervous as heck, because I could clearly see that while he had a nice clean line in the central 3 - 4 feet of the piece of wood, it was clearly evident that there were significant gaps showing at the ends - even his son pointed it out to him a few times! When they had finished the first layer the father said they had to leave it for a while to set and that they'd be back in an hour to lay down the skim coat.
After they left I looked down at the work and the untidy nature of the finish. and just hoped that the next stage was going to give me a considerably cleaner look - and all I could do was hope that the guy was some kind of concreting genius who's claimed twenty years experience had given him such an eye that he knew exactly what he was doing without recourse to something as mundane as a level!
Three hours later (yes three, not one) father and son returned, and the elder began the process of slopping the skim coat around and doing everything conceivable to blow my expectations of a clean and accurate finish out the water. I'm no expert on the subject, but I have seen plenty who are and their workmanship always look so easy, smooth and professional – this guy constantly kept digging the near end of the trowel into the cement because he wouldn't incline it enough, left trowel marks and ridges everywhere, and kept spraying bonding agent on the older surface like some demented fire marshal trying to put out a raging fire – according to him, the skim coat was drying too quickly on him because the older surface was so dry that it was leeching out all the moisture.
After he finished he assured me that, despite appearances, the floor was to the specification I required for my wood flooring and that it didn't need to be perfect cosmetically under the circumstances. I didn't care about the cosmetics, I simply wanted it to be dead level. Did we get what we wanted or needed? No. The floor in actual fact turned out to be worse than it was before.
I went over it the next day and was left completely demoralized by just how lousy a job had been done on it. Forget any notion of it being level bubble wise – the drop to one side of the room was still there, and not only had they not eliminated the slight ridge that was evident before, they'd laid in a few new ones, as well as leaving buildup along the walls that was half an inch thick and an inch wide in places. According to the wood flooring guides I have tolerances down to 3/16ths of an inch I'm supposed to work at a distance of 10 feet. We now have ridges and depressions that are at variances of 2/10ths within just a few feet, even ¼ inch drops in places.
We can't afford to get someone else to do this again (we already hadn't budgeted for the $600 this individual took from us) so I have to try and find a way to solve this myself – like everything else. It's very disheartening, because every time we've called in outside help for our house we've been royally screwed – it gets to a point where you wonder if there's any honest and competent tradesmen left, at least here in Orlando. Getting our pool fixed, roofing done, carpets professionally cleaned, custom kitchen cabinets made/installed, granite countertops put in place, and now this – each time it's been a disaster.
I've attached some pictures of the work, as well as a map I did of the room showing where all the depressions are. As mentioned, the room drops half an inch towards the widow side,(as marked, but I'm not even taking this into account any more – I just want it level lengthways in the room. which is the direction the wood is going to be laid. The gray areas on the map show depressions of 1/10 of an inch, red goes down to 2/10ths, and purple is ¼". As the rule of thumb I'm aware of is 3/16" over 10 feet, I'd consider that we're pretty well screwed on that score with all the little peaks and hollows everywhere!
So what do I do? Try and grind down the high areas so I only have a few small spots to fill in? I can rent a 7 inch grinder at HD for $35 for 24 hours, and then buy the appropriate blade for $85. Or should I leave the high spots in place and just try and fill in the other areas? And what do I use – the guys who did the first job used 8 bags of 'Patcher' to do their work, and I read on the bag that it can be used to a minimum of ½ an inch and a maximum of 2" – so I don't think it would be applicable.
Lastly, the point about getting the guy who made the mess to clean it up is certainly an obvious one, but at this stage it's merely a money thing as I wouldn't let the guy anywhere near the floor to try and repair his 'repairs' after what I witnessed.
Sorry about the lengthy post – any advice or help would be much appreciated.

That's obviously some really poor work. But, I'm not surprised it came out that way since you were interviewing workers that you hoped would do the work for $300 or so. That would have been ridiculous. $600 is ridiculously low too. Way too low to expect decent workmanship, and that included materials too?

Snap level chalk lines on all four walls, just above the highest point.
Divide the room into 8 rectangles.
Use string lines to mark the level on the two sides of each rectangle that are not against a wall (the strings would be stretched from a point in the chalk line to another point in the chalk line of the opposite wall).
Do one of the 8 rectangles at a time.

IMHO - Possibly use floor leveler (self leveling) and finish it up yourself (?)

@Jazman. I've actually had a hardwood flooring specialist in since who came VERY highly recommended (I really checked this time!) and he looked in in disgust at the floor and stated that he could have had a much better job done of it for $250.
It wasn't a case of penny-pinching, just the simple fact I thought it would only take a pro 3 - 4 hours to do the job - how much do you think is fair at an hourly rate, $300 - $400?! The guys we had in did actually do the job (if you could call it that) in about four hours with all the toing and froing taken out, and as they used about $100 in materials I figure walking away at $125 an hour after costs is pretty damn rewarding in most people's books.
@Abracaboom. That's what I would have done had I gone with my original plan of doing the job myself. I was going to divide the floor into sections, fashion wood strips to the appropriate thickness to make level mini-forms, and then lay the cement inside each one. Then I decided that maybe I was taking on too much for someone who had never worked with concrete before and decided to seek 'expert' help - the rest is history!
Dividing it up now isn't going to work, because having half a depression in one section isn't going to make sense as far as using leveling compound - I have to address each low and high area specifically.
Though I still will address these leveling issues, I'm now starting to wonder if laying down some ply might not be a better long term solution to the floor rather than gluing direct to a cement surface that might be questionable. The room in question is a sunken living room with steps leading down to it from the two access points, so laying down a couple of half inch layers of ply isn't going to affect anything else. Then I can glue the wood flooring to the ply.

You say 3-4 hours. Is that man hours, there were two. So is it really 6 or 8? Who's paying for the 'toing and froing? Maybe your neighbor? How about the cost and time necessary to get you to call these jokers and all the 'costs' you don't see?
By your lengthy and detailed description I would guess it's a job that would take me most of a day to do, plus most likely should plan to return the next day to 'tweek' the results. Also since the floor is out-of-level and a self leveling compound will probably do the best job, one should expect to use 7-8 bags or more. At about $30 per copy it adds up fast. Plus to give a firm quote instead on a time + material basis is taking a big risk and you'd have to guess high just to be fair.
So, two days on the calendar, plus materials, plus overhead, and it would be nice to add something called 'profit'.
In the end, it's obvious those guys should be doing something else and let you find someone else to do the work. I hope the next guy can do a better job. Or, why not do it yourself?

Timbo you set yourself up for this fall.
You oversold yourself on the ability of anyone to "level" that floor.
You set your own expectations and then you weren't able to deliver the proper mechanic to your job. Did you check references or look at other work these guys had done? Obviously not.
Then YOU went in there and scribbled a bunch of hash-marks on the floor in an effort to be the boss and remain in control. Those marks mean nothing to anyone. That wasn't the way to do it and was a total waste of your time.
Then you all along felt like the price was too high. You tried to put yourself in the position of once again telling a man what his time and effort was worth based on your estimate of what you dreamed it would take to do it.
The real humor is the fact that the floor doesn't have to be level. It only needs to be flat. You say you paid him to produce a "dead level" floor. There is no such thing in residential concrete work. No such thing. Maybe in a perfect world but not in this world.
You didn't do your homework. If you had, your expectations would not have been as high as you have made them. You have underestimated the cost of doing performing such a task and you have over-estimated your ability to manage the process.
You are correct about one thing...that is some shoddy work.
The thing to do now is to grind that floor. But here again you are off on the wrong foot my friend. There is no way a 7" grinder is the proper tool to use to grind that floor. That idea is absurd. You will have a bigger mess than you started with.
The thing to do is to rent a floor grinding machine using orbiting elements and get to work. Then after you have the high spots ground down and the ridges feathered then prime the floor and use a Self Levelling Compound to complete the resurfacing.
This time hire somebody that has experience and has references.
Trying to micro-manage a task you know nothing about right down to telling a tradesman how he should be holding his trowel is ludicrous.
Solicit bids, get references, check references, visit previous jobs they have done, award the contract, then get the hell out of the house and let them do their job without any further input and criticism from you.

@Jazman. Just a correction. It was supposed to be a one man job - assigned to his son. The father swapped over with him. Even if it was a two man operation, people must be doing REALLY well for themselves in your neck of the woods if they'd sniff at earnimg $60 odd dollars an hour.
To explain it another way, if the guy had come back at me and said that the only way he could deliver what I wanted was to use some kind of shallow formwork and that it would take a full day or two at the appropriate prices, it would have made perfect sense. In short, it wasn't about shoe-horning a job into a specified price, as you seem to be fixated upon - it was a loose figure based on an inexperienced approximation on how long the work might take. When you take work to an expert, say a mechanic, don't you mentally try and figure what you think it might cost, even though you obviously don't know enough to do it yourself? The fact I readily agreed to a figure twice what I'd approximated should indicate that nit-picking over money wasn't at issue - within limits of course.
Secondly, I generally do make appropriate inquiries, especially as we've had such shoddy work done in the past, and all of it irrespective of price. In this case I asked my neigbour, who has been buying and flipping houses for years and thus uses tradespeople all the time, to recommend a concrete specialist who we could trust to do an accurate job. He suggested someone nearby, told me the addresses of a couple of places he'd worked, I went and had a look at the steps and driveways concerned, and all seemed fine. What else would you suggest I have done - beat the absolutely living crap out of him to ascertain if he felt fully capable of doing an adequate job? Blow torch his children? My neighbor has since seen the results we obtained and is mortified - all we can both think is that this guy may well be reasonably capable with form-work, bricks, etc, but is utterly useless free-handing everything. The fact that he turned up after his break distinctly smelling of booze might also be an issue - should I have checked to see if he's a lapsed member of the local AA?
Anything else you want there - pictures of the houses he worked on that I inspected? A taped interview from my neighbor verifying his recommendation?

@ Bud Cline. We've had some nice chats in the past Bud, but this time you're way out of line with your offensive diatribe, and one can only assume you're projecting or recalling less than savory dealings with certain customers.
For starters, guy, the hash marks you went to so much trouble to jump up and down and scream about, as far as my apparent dictatorial attitude is concerned, were marks I put down AFTERWARDS for my OWN benefit so I could piece together where all the trouble spots are located in order to grind down or place SLC in the appropriate areas. How do you think I produced that map of the room? I ruled the floor, created a grid spaced out one foot apart, then went over it painstakingly measuring and marking depth. The P's you see in the photo are Peaks, the H's the center of the Hollows. Got that now?
As for your point about references, read the above post to Jazman, and stick your 'Obviously not' where it belongs, okay?
Same point with regard to the financial side of things. Where in my initial statement did I state that I dickered around with him on price – go on, have a look at my post and point it out if you can! I had a figure in my head that I never specified to him, he gave me a figure twice that - and I promptly agreed to it! Do you have a problem reading, or do you simply go out of your way to be rude and accusatory when it's not warranted?
As for overselling 'myself' on the ability of others to perform a set task, not only is it a nonsensical statement and poor example of English usage, it goes to the heart of a mindlessly vituperative attack without any foundation whatsoever other than your wildly incorrect and offensive conclusions. I did my homework on glue down flooring and discovered that it's an area with very little tolerances for error with regard to moisture, glues, surface preparation, and deviations of more than 3/16ths over a span of ten feet - tiling, your metier, is a doddle by comparison. So here are the following points, laid out in simple fashion so you can digest them -
1) I have zero experience with concrete, but know what I need to in order to get my concrete floor within the tolerances specified for wood glue down
2) I submit the requirements to the 'expert', clearly specifying that I want a bubble-level floor to counter issues on two planes, to which the expert says CAN DO and sets a price for the task – which I readily agreed to without question! If there had been an issue of my request being beyond his capabilities, of it being technically too difficult, etc, it was his position to tell the client 'NO CAN DO', explain why, and offer alternatives. But when the guy looks at me smugly, says 'no problem, we do this all the time' and sets out to do the task, one could say it's reasonably within my expectations that I'm going to get what was specified, just as I'd have readily acceded to anything he might have said to the contrary given my lack of expertise.
3) Said 'expert' then proceeds to give results that in no way approximate what is required and what he claimed HE WOULD DELIVER. Not only was the resulting work nowhere near bubble level, but the flatness you so stridently asserted was the only requirement also proved completely absent, tellingly on the plane that the flooring is to be laid.
4) Once the 'expert' commenced his task I never uttered a piece of instruction to him while doing my own work nearby, even when my senses were screaming at me that things were distinctly amiss. About the only thing I did do was pleasantly shoot the breeze with the guy, talk about his origins in Chicago, baseball, etc. Throughout the process, I kept uttering to myself that the contractor knew what he was doing, to keep quiet, that he was the expert, and that all would be well in the end. So, as far as your erroneous and bombastic assertion is concerned that I was somehow constantly barking orders and controlling things, not only are you totally off base, but in hindsight I should have trusted my instincts, called a halt to proceedings, and paid him off before he could do any further harm. Instead I stayed silent over my misgivings, paid him off in pleasant fashion, and sat down to wait for the work to dry so I could ascertain for myself if my gut instincts had been correct. They obviously were.
As for your point about residential floors not being level, I've done enough tiling to know the point all too well. But exactly how does this relate to the job at hand, other than to prove the point underlying the whole operation, namely that the concrete floor as is was not in a fit state for a glue down operation because of its imperfections – meaning it needed fixing? Is there anything in there that you don't understand, or do you wish to keep up this nonsensical circular argument? As a point of fact I have since been given expert views that there are a couple of ways the task could have been approached, either by using wood strips as a leveling guide to address the issue of the lower floor edge, and simply using a decent-sized level to obtain a flat floor across the plane that I really needed for the sake of the wood flooring. it was this measure at least that I had expected to see in use myself – not once did this guy even come close to using a level.
Finally, your point about the 7" grinder being 'absurd' is rather novel considering your admirably staunch defense of a fellow tradesman – it was exactly the tool which was used to grind our floor in the first place. That aside, I had actually intended hiring a floor grinder as you suggested, but was specifically told that it would be complete overkill for the job at hand, that I could easily render a great deal of damage with it in my inexperienced hands, and that a 7 inch grinder would more than handle the job at hand, especially with the new surface that was laid down. Three people have stated the same thing, so you'll forgive me if I take their opinion over your own, especially under the circumstances.
One could make jokes about the asinine conclusions you jumped to Bud, but the truth of the matter is that there's nothing remotely funny or humorous about your post. It could well serve as an example of all that's wrong with the internet and forums, of ill-mannered major domo's like you marching up and down territorially in their little fiefdoms barking at everyone furiously while basking behind the anonymity of their keyboards. I can only point to your petulant paragraph regarding the markings on the floor, and how insanely off base you were in your conclusion as to their meaning, as an example of where the problems lie. The notion that I apparently diagrammed the entire floor for someone else to explicitly follow, like some sort of bizarre concrete-by-numbers, is truly one for the books – now who is your psychiatrist again?
If you still can't digest it all this, go back and read my original post, than match your answers paragraph by paragraph to see what an obnoxious, erroneous and ill-conceived missive you submitted, right down to your point about my supposedly telling the contractor how to use his trowel! It was an observation on what seemed a sloppy technique, genius, not a judgment I delivered personally to him.
In short, Bud, there is nothing in your post that is of merit or close to approximating the truth of the circumstances, but don't let that hold you back from showing yourself to being a hot –tempered jerk flying off with baseless accusations and inflammatory opinions, right? I wouldn't expect you to apologize for your appalling outburst, because anyone who could let fly in such an outrageously ill-mannered fashion certainly doesn't have the character to recognize when they're at fault. So by all means feel free to indulge yourself in whatever rationalizations you consider necessary to paper over your numerous gaffs and the bell-ringing nature of your insulting tones. I'd love to see what you have to say on the score of the markings on the floor and your outrageous conclusions, but it's obviously time to call it a day on this forum and move on.
Many thanks to those who have offered their egoless advice and help in the past – it's been appreciated. But if anything confirms why it's fast approaching time to head back to my homeland with my family, it's raving crap like this from people like Bud. A decade in this country is more than enough for anyone, because I can assure you, where people like Bud are the rare exception where I come from, here they're fast becoming the norm. Life's just too short, and I want my kids to grow up unfettered by it all in a country where people by and large are still friendly, easy-going, relaxed, direct, and honest. Here people either read all that with suspicion, or consider you a prime sap ready for the taking.

Much too wordy I can't read all of that. I figured the truth would ruffle your feathers. Glad to have been helpful in the past, sorry you don't find my input helpful now. The truth is sometimes hard to take I suppose.
Maybe another time.

The fact is that in this business you'd have to charge $60 an hour for 40 hours every week x 50 to be able to retain about $40 an hour on a regular basis. That does not happen. Matter of fact many owners have to go many week without a pay check just to pay for the other expenses. Especially if they're trying to stay legitimate and honest.

Or I'm a mewing kitten looking up at you sorrowfully.
I am a hedonist, I seek to enjoy my life. It so happens, that being bored is not fun, so this one motivation can move me further than would seem likely.
I love many things including but not limited to: large expansive parks with more space devoted to doing nothing than something, the way my hair curls when the houston humidity puffs it up, cuddling with my momma'sboy kitty, constructive destruction, riding my bike and stalking around with pepper spray in the middle of the night, ridiculously deep contemplation while under a certain green influence, the feeling of getting ahead of life, pondering the specific details of the obvious demise of western culture, and forgetting to not sound pretentious.
I am insightful, candid, and amusing
I work, I ride my bike, I hang out with one or other of a small handfull of people, and I spend time with myself and/or my cat, or outside in some park or other. I like to create in various forms, but for the enrichment of my own environment, not for the world.
I'm going to change 'movies' to 'visual media': Star Trek TNG, The Office, Arrested Development, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Sifl & Olly, American Dad, Dax Flame. (movies) almost all zombie movies, V for Vendetta, I <3 Huckabees, Edward Scissorhands, Drop Dead Fred, The Fountainhead, 300, Sin City, Fantastic Planet, Black Snake Moan, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Ghost World, Punch Drunk Love, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Donnie Darko, Borat, all View Askew movies (lots of others).
Music: There's no easy way to describe it. I like a weird mix of weird things. Jazz, 60s hippie rock and instrumental tracks, french music, mellow and minimalistic music, electronic music, really most anything done independently besides perhaps deathmetal and gangsta rap, and a lot of older stuff. Daft Punk, Le Tigre, Gravy Train!!!!, Ladytron, mc chris, Regina Spektor, Metric, Janis Joplin, Steve Miller Band, Pink Floyd, the Doors, Davi Bowie, Low, B 52s, Bangles, John Coltrane, Air, No Doubt. I absolutely adore dancing to 80s industrial.
Food: I like things which give me nutrients, I care little of whether it's fattening or not. I like a lot of vegetables and sauces, don't like spicy food, like creamy food. Don't like too much sugar. Love Curry. And LOVE Houston mexican food. And hot tea.
I can recite the song Wiid by mc chris from memory.
I fantasize about Jean-Luc Picard (of the USS Enterprise).

Black Falcon SLS AMG GT3 Commemorates 40 Years of AMG at Spa-Francorchamps
posted by Stuart Fowle on 26 July 2011 in Motorsport News
Like father, like son. It applies even to racing beautiful Mercedes-Benzes at the 24 Hours of Spa. Hans Heyer and his son Kenneth are proof of that. On the 40th anniversary of Hans and his teammate Clemens Schickentanz achieving a class victory and overall second place at the race in a race-modified 300 SEL 6.8 AMG–that iconic red car that kicked off the AMG story–his son Kenneth will race with Black Falcon racing in an SLS AMG GT3 modified to look just like pop's sedan.
Says Hans: "40 years after our class victory and second overall place, I think it is a great idea to enter the Spa-Francorchamps race with the SLS AMG GT3 in the same look as "my" 300 SEL 6.8 AMG. Naturally I wish the Black Falcon team and my son Kenneth every success – and will be delighted if he wins at least second place!"
Really, we'd be content if this were just a photo op for the two cars, which look stunning together. But it's especially cool that on this anniversary, a second Heyer will get a chance to field a car from the same brand as his father in this same race. He'll have the help of a team of three drivers as opposed to his father's two, which dad surely teases him about. Kids these days, you know?
In addition to the Black Falcon team, six other SLS AMGs will run the 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps race. We're sure they are very nice, but we know who we're cheering for.

Generator connection questions
I have some questions regarding how to connect a portable generator to a house.
The generator is rated 8000W with 12000W peak. The unit has a 4-prong outlet that states that it is 30A 120/240V. My plan is to backfeed into the main house panel, with an "interlock switch" to prevent backfeed to the supply power grid.
I have a few questions:
1) The stated "30A" on the generator does not seem compatible with 8000W (more like 7200W by my math), let alone 12kW (surge). What am I missing here? Is that outlet able to provide the full measure of the generator's capability?
2) I had planned to run #10 to make the connection back to the panel (based upon "30A" as stated on the generator). Is this adequate?
3) What size breaker should I backfeed through into the main panel? 30A? Seems like that would trip during a surge of 12kW.
However with any generators you have to watch the wattage and keep the load balnced.
And make sure you get proper perimits and do follow the codes no short cuts in here. { many place are cracking down with bad set ups.}
Does your generator have some 120 volt receptacles in addition to the 30 amp 4 prong receptacle?
The 30 amp receptacle won't be hurt by occasional 33 amp current draw. The next size receptacle is rated 40 amps.
If the generator is able to and is going to supply more than 24 amps for long periods of time (continuous load) then you need 8 gauge wire including for short runs. You would use 10 gauge for intermittent loads of 30 amps.
There are four current draws to be aware of:
1. Continuous, the load the generator and the wires can take for long periods of time, including for heating and air conditioning.
2. Intermittent, the load the generator and the wires can take for perhaps half an hour at a time,
3. Starting, the load the generator can deliver for perhaps a minute, don't worry about the wire gauge.
4. Maximum, above this load the generator will go off frequency, or even stall.
I would expect the 8000 watts to be continuous but the instruction manual may say otherwise. Still it is unlikely to be drawing 7800 to 8000 watts regularly and continuously.
You can get a slow trip 30 amp breaker if you have one tool or appliance that has an unusually high starting load approaching the generator peak of 12000 watts while its own running load is around 8000 watts or less. Smaller appliances are not likely to push the power draw to 12000 watts.
The commonly mentioned wire rating (20 amps for 12 gauge) is for intermittent, use 80% of tha amps for continuous.
Hate to crcizte ya but for the next size up for receptale there is no 40 amp recetpale on the listing the real next step is 50 amp rated recptale.
The 50 amp receptale is common used on both 40 and 50 amp circuits.
To OP just make sure you get plan B ready in case the generator do have 50 amp twistlock but ya never know with this wattage class it will go either way but of course it should have 30 amp twistlock on the generator.
You may have to change the inlet box and conductor size to handle larger loads like 10mm² or 16mm² { #8 or #6 AWG ( 40 / 50 A ) }so just be aware with it.
Thanks for the replies.
The unit is a Generac XP8000E. It has one 4-prong locking receptacle rated 30A 120/140V and two 20-amp 120V GFCI receptacles.
Did I buy the wrong unit? I don't really have much use for the two 20-amp outlets - my only use of the generator is to power my house. So, the 30A outlet is the only one I had planned to use.
So, I'm left wondering whether much of the capacity of the generator is inaccessible. The 30A outlet has a "surge" capacity of 33.6A (per Generac tech support). So, it appears the maximum ratings of my unit are quite a bit lower than the "8000W / 12000W" stated on the box.
I'm amazed that the manufacturer didn't include at least one outlet that is sized to handle the entire 8000/12000W specs, for house connections.
Am I understanding this correctly? Should I be looking at buying a different generator?
The manufacturere "got away" with rating the generator at 8000/12000 watts by providing the two 120 volt receptacles.
Does the instructions include a section about taking off a cover plate and connecting house wires directly to some terminals, or taking the wires off the 30 amp receptacle and wiring them into house wiring?
Otherwise that model generator is not "meant to be" wired into your house system and the fact it has built in receptacles as opposed to wire-it-yourself leads tells you that.
Nothing prevents you from wiring it into your house system anyway using a cord and plug extending from your house system and living with the current draw limitations of the 30 amp receptacle.
That said, I doubt you would have any problem just plugging into the 30 amp receptacle, unless some of the things you will use are big with startup current surges such as a whole house air conditioner or a table saw or an air compressor.
The biggest surges are 1) Well-pump 2) Heater fan 3) 'Fridge x 2. I doubt we'll need the AC.

Dog Parks & Dog Runs, Beaches
"298 parking spots, open 24 hours a day, restrooms, water fountain at entrance to beach, food and treats are prohibited at dog beach, all size dogs play together. "
Best dog beach in San Diego!
Ocean Beach dog beach is the greatest! There is plenty of room for the dogs to run around, swim and dig. I have never had a problem at this dog beach with aggressive dogs or owners who are not responsible.
Not a fan.
This is the worst of the Dog Beaches. The dogs poop in the water and the owners don't even try to pick up, agressive dogs that shouldn't be off leash, never mind in a setting where other dogs are present, and some of the worst owners you'll ever encounter. Go to Del Mar dog beach or Coronado. Much better crowd.

This is a lovely flat and a great place to stay in Poznan. It is just how it looks in the pictures - modern, comfortable and clean. In the streets around the flat there are shops, cafes and an outdoor market and the old town is a pleasant and easy 20 minute walk from the flat. Karolina was a very warm and friendly host. She made me feel very welcome and was happy to come back to the flat to sort out and fix a problem with the broadband.

The Blue studio was perfect for a 4 day stay. Modern, new, close to the centre , and it had everything we needed, including lovely nesspresso machine. Karolina was always there if we needed anything and we can't wait to go back.
I stayed here on the return leg of my road trip from London to Gdansk, staying at Karolina's 'Green' flat on the outward journey. This flat is much the same as the 'Green' flat, which is to say it is very modern, clean and comfortable and it is just as it appears in the pictures. It has a cafe across the street with shops, banks and an open market nearby. It is an easy 20 minute or so walk to the old town. A lovely flat which made a great base for me with a warm, friendly and helpful host. Recommended!
We had wonderfull time in this beautifull and clean apartament. Great contact and professional host. I would recommend this apartament to everyone!

I know this company is pretty much known for compilation crap but I was curious about something - where do they get the footage for use in their comps? Do they buy it from other companies?
I'm just wondering because I know most companies do their own comps in-house using footage they own the rights to - IE. their own movies.
I know Leisure Time was "Video Exclusives" in the eighties and made some feature length films (some good ones too, I might add) but it seems like Leisure Time has an endless supply of shit and I can't recall the last time they made something truly original.

• No. 5 UCLA (real rankings -- AP No. 4; ESPN/USA Today No. 4): Five points as the season nears, according to head coach Ben Howland:1. Howland said the Bruins have more things to figure out than they have figured out. That's called "trying to lower the hype."
2. The starting lineup is set, with freshman Jrue Holiday joining senior Darren Collison and Josh Shipp on the perimeter and senior Alfred Aboya with junior James Keefe inside.
3. Howland said the Bruins will have more depth than he has had at UCLA, and that means he plans on playing more players than he normally would, with the bench rotation still to be determined.
4. The player that is drawing the most interest in consideration of where he will fit in and against whom is freshman center J'Mison Morgan, whom, at 6-foot-10, Howland is calling his only true center.
5. Collison will handle the ball more than Holiday. Howland said Holiday will be asked to score more. Fellow freshmen Malcolm Lee and Jerime Anderson will log minutes off the bench. UCLA opens its season Wednesday against Prairie View A&M in the first round of the 2K Sports Classic, which benefits Coaches vs. Cancer.• No. 6 Pitt (real rankings -- AP No. 5; ESPN/USA Today No. 6): Five points as the season nears, according to head coach Jamie Dixon: 1. Junior Jermaine Dixon will be the starting shooting guard. He had seven assists and five steals in an exhibition win Sunday. Yet he feeds the post well and will be starting alongside Levance Fields, when Fields (who is still nursing a foot injury) is ready to play the point again.
2. Freshman Ashton Gibbs played the point in Fields' absence and had seven assists and one turnover. He will play the position throughout the year and has given the Panthers another ballhandler to rely on.
3. Not having Fields and sophomore Gilbert Brown (out with a stress fracture in his left foot) has left the Panthers wondering when the team will be complete. Until then, Dixon and his staff are trying to coach with two teams in mind -- one with them and one without.
4. Dixon has been impressed with the freshmen's learning curve. The teaching continues, but the newcomers' ability to pick up what the Panthers want to do has eased a lot of the concerns here lately.
5. The Panthers are getting good news on senior forward Tyrell Biggs. He made all five of his field goals in the exhibition win over La Roche on Sunday. He hasn't been discussed as much as Sam Young, DeJuan Blair and of course Fields. But if Biggs can be a factor that certainly helps.
Pitt opens the season Friday against Fairleigh Dickinson.
• No.14 Arizona State (real ranking -- No. 15 AP; No. 15 ESPN/USA Today). Five points as the season nears, according to head coach Herb Sendek:
1. For the most part the starting lineup is set, with sophomore guard James Harden on the wing, a combination of sophomore Jamelle McMillan and junior Derek Glasser at the point, sophomore guard Ty Abbott on the wing and senior Jeff Pendergraph and sophomore Rihards Kuksiks inside.
2. Sendek is looking at a bench rotation that would involve junior guard Jerren Shipp, junior center Eric Boateng and likely freshman forward Taylor Rohde.
3. Sendek is still trying to sift through minutes and possible redshirts.
4. Rebounding will be a major issue. It was a problem a year ago and it's not going away.
5. Managing the point minutes is a work in progress, too.
After holding two scrimmages on consecutive Saturdays, one at New Mexico and one hosting UNLV, the Sun Devils open the season against Mississippi Valley State on Friday.• No. 25 Baylor (not ranked in either poll in the real rankings). Five points as the season nears, according to head coach Scott Drew:
1. The rotation is set. Drew is pleased that he has the order of who will be in the game at what times. Expect to see these guards on the floor plenty: sophomore LaceDarius Dunn, senior Henry Dugat, junior Tweety Carter and senior Curtis Jerrells. The rotation inside: senior Kevin Rogers, senior Mamadou Diene, freshman Quincy Acy, freshman Anthony Jones and freshman Fred Ellis.
2. Shot selection is still a constant concern. That has to improve.
3. Blocking out has also been a problem in practice.
4. The Bears have the thrust of their system in place but are still behind in putting in a lot of their zone offense and defense.
5. Freshman Quincy Acy has been impressive. His highlight reel of dunks should be good fodder for many a television network this season. Drew said he's definitely going to help the Bears answer interior-scoring issues.Baylor opens the season Saturday against Paul Quinn College. Checking in outside my top 25
On Wisconsin: Five points as the season nears, according to head coach Bo Ryan:
1. The freshmen are better than projected and will log significant minutes. Freshman guard Jordan Taylor is proving to be tough physically and mentally.
2. Post defense must improve after the loss of Brian Butch.
3. Finding that defensive perimeter stopper still hasn't been done.
4. Rebounding is still a major concern.
5. Sophomore forwards Keaton Nankivil and Jon Leuer have improved tremendously from a year ago and will score and have an impact for the Badgers.
Wisconsin opens up Sunday against Long Beach State.
• Bradley got a rude start to the season, losing a home exhibition 84-79 to Wisconsin-Platteville. Platteville has historically been one of the better Division III schools. Platteville plays on "Bo Ryan Court," which honors the coach who led the Pioneers to four Division III national titles during his 15-year tenure, prior to his move to Madison.• All the hype at West Virginia was about the arrival of one-time Indiana commit Devin Ebanks. But hold onto that hype and wait a while. Ebanks was just 1-of-7 in an exhibition win over Mountain State (he did have six boards and three blocks). Nope, the story in Morgantown now and maybe in the future may be Da'Sean Butler, who scored 38 points and grabbed 11 boards. Butler took 21 shots (making 11) and was 12-of-19 from the line. • Auburn is expected to have a bit of an upswing this season. That might be the case if the stats from the win over Morehouse College over the weekend are any indication. Junior Tay Waller scored 27 points in only 21 minutes. He was 7-of-12 on 3s and 10-of-16 from the field overall, and he didn't play the final 12:18 of the game. Meanwhile, the more heralded player for the Tigers, Korvotney Barber, scored only four points in 19 minutes. The Tigers look at Waller, a JC transfer, as the type of shooter they have been lacking for years, maybe since the days of Wesley Person. The Tigers were without their highly touted freshman Frankie Sullivan due to a high ankle sprain. • Oklahoma sophomore forward Blake Griffin finished his two exhibitions a perfect 16-for-16 from the field. With North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough out with a stress reaction in his right shin, the window is open for Griffin to make an early-season impression in the marathon race for player of the year. • Creighton proves once again that it is one of the most-followed programs with its loyal fan base. The Bluejays beat Central Missouri in an exhibition game Sunday in front of 15,038 fans in Omaha. Just think about that for a minute. There are plenty of high-major programs that would beg for numbers like that in the regular season, let alone for a Sunday exhibition in early November. • If Oregon is going to compete in the upper echelon of the Pac-10 this season, the Ducks need freshman Michael Dunigan to produce. He did in an exhibition win over Southern Oregon, with a game-high 18 points.
• Just a quick reminder that the season begins Monday night on ESPNU with a doubleheader of Georgia Southern versus Houston and Presbyterian versus Duke in the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic.

text: DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, May 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, LLC is leading the way in consumer engagement in the digital sphere at this year's ATM, with a fully-integrated social media campaign that will offer visitors a unique interactive experience. The move is in line with The Ritz-Carlton commitment to deepen connections with existing and prospective guests in an environment in which they spend increasing amounts of time. As part of the luxury hotel company's social media outreach during the Middle East's largest travel trade show, The Ritz-Carlton has members of their social media engagement team present on their stand at ATM. Through the @RitzCarlton twitter handle, the team will provide live content and updates from the event. With a sizeable number of The Ritz-Carlton Twitter followers comprising of trade partners, customers and the media, it is a perfect platform to initiate and build brand conversation relevant to the fair. The introduction of a dedicated 'Tweet Bar' on The Ritz-Carlton stand HC5240 located in the Arena Hall, will give the brand's global Twitter following access to news from the event as it unfolds in Dubai, including highlights from exclusive talks and seminars. In addition, visitors checking in at ATM on Foursquare will receive tips on the best things to see and do in Dubai, as recommended by The Ritz-Carlton concierges from both hotels in the city. The Ritz-Carlton also uses Foursquare and The Ritz-Carlton Mobile App to tailor local content and provide engaging information relevant to their guests. This will be brought to life at ATM where a series of QR codes can be used to download property insights, including recipes from chefs and guided tours of hotels. "Our social media interactions at Arabian Travel Market are a natural extension of our 'Let Us Stay With You' brand philosophy. We want to enrich the experience at the show for visitors, in addition to being a great luxury travel information resource for our Twitter followers by providing news as it is happening from the show," said Chris Gabaldon, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer for The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company. "Each of The Ritz-Carlton social media channels grow in importance to us year-over-year as our guests live more and more of their lives in the digital space. Use of Facebook alone already stands at 40% of time spent online in the UAE, 30% in Kuwait and 21% in Saudi Arabia making Facebook an increasingly important channel for us to converse with our Middle East guests." The Ritz-Carlton has a proven track record of using social networking platforms to build and enhance the brand and bring people together in the same physical space or event. It successfully used Twitter to underscore its central role at global events such as Toronto International Film Festival and IMEX America, whilst broadcasting and conversing about the brand's messages on a large scale and also drawing foot traffic to physical spaces by engaging with other attendees. The effectiveness of The Ritz-Carlton social media direction and content has led to significant year-on-year increases across all leading platforms, including Facebook which has jumped 118 percent to more than one million fans across the company's brand page and 48 hotel Facebook pages. In addition, the brand Facebook Page's year-over-year growth in "People Talking About This" went up 746%.

I underwent a breast lift this week after putting off for a year from the time I went in for my initial consultation.
I simply did not believe that the results could be worth the discomfort, down time and potentially disappointing result.
It is now three days since the surgery. My breasts are covered in unsightly stitches and still quite swollen and yet I can already and without a doubt see that the change is dramatically and miraculously WONDERFUL.
The staff at the hospital Dr. Piazza uses are unbelievably kind, sweet and gentle.
Dr Piazza and his nurse, Haley, are super pros. They are total perfectionists, clearly love what they are doing, care about your expectations. I simply cannot say enough good about them all.
My last surgery was an upper and lower eye lid lift some 15 years ago and so I knew sort of what to expect from post op discomfort but this was so much less difficult to handle than that. Surgery has come a long way and I think the results are going to be phenomenal too.
