Animation are set to release the all-new original movie Justice League: The New Frontier on February 26, 2008 on DVD, HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc, distributed by Warner Home Video. Order due date is January 22, 2008. The original movie will also be available OnDemand and Pay-per-View as well as available for download on February 26, 2008.
Based on the graphic novel by Darwyn Cooke and produced by Michael Goguen and animation legend, Bruce Timm, Justice League: The New Frontier is the epic tale of the founding of the Justice League. The animated film, written by Stan Berkowitz, features an incredible celebrity-laden voice cast including David Boreanaz, Brooke Shields, Lucy Lawless, Neil Patrick Harris, Miguel Ferrer, Kyra Sedgwick, Jeremy Sisto and Kyle MacLachlan and will be available on DVD for $19.98 SRP. There will also be a 2 disc Special Edition DVD available for $24.98 SRP which contains additional bonus features including a documentary about the pathology of the super villain and three bonus episodes from the Justice League animated series selected by Bruce Timm. All the content from the 2-disc Special Edition DVD will be available on HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc.
The New Frontier takes viewers on an action-packed adventure, exploring the origins of the Justice League. DC Comics legends Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman are all featured in the film as well as Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter and The Flash as they band together to form the legendary super team. Strangers at first, these very different heroes must overcome fear and suspicion to forge an alliance against a monster so formidable, even the mighty Superman cannot stop it alone. If they fail, the entire planet will be "cleansed" of humanity.
Justice League: The New Frontier DVD will feature incredible extras including:
"Super Heroes United!: The Complete Justice League History"- The documentary is a comprehensive forty seven year Justice League chronology from the inception in the comics to vivid animated renditions. The story is told with a myriad of interviews tracing back the early days of DC Super Hero team ups during the Golden Age, to the Silver Age rendition where the established heroes emerged and beyond. Interviews include Paul Levitz (President of DC Comics), Dan Didio (SVP Executive Editor at DC Comics), Michael Uslan (Historian), Gregory Noveck (SVP Creative Affairs DC Comics), Mark Waid (DC Comics Historian and Writer), Mike Friedrich (Writer JLU), Denny O¹Neil (Writer and Editor at DC Comics), Mike Carlin (DC Comics Executive Editor), Stan Lee (Marvel Comics Co-Creator) and Marv Wolfman (Writer of Fantastic Four).
"Sneak Peak: Batman: Gotham Knight" - One part anime, one part Caped Crusader, the result is a glimpse at the world of Eastern anime sensibilities combined with a Western tradition of Batman. A detailed look at the world of Warner Bros Animation, and how they joined forces with the renowned Japanese animators to create the highly anticipated anime film of 2008.
· "Audio Commentary I" (featuring the talented filmmakers of New
· "Audio Commentary II" (featuring Comic Book Writer and Artist Darwyn
· Widescreen (1.78:1)
· 5.1 Dolby Digital
The 2 disc Special Edition DVD will feature even more incredible extras including:
"The Legion of Doom: The Pathology of the Super Villain"- This documentary will examine the early mythological archetypes of nemesis characters from a historical perspective, and see how the tenants of this rich history were adapted and woven into the Justice League stories. The bonus feature includes many of the talent included in Super Heroes United! As well as Jim Kreuger (Writer of "Justice").
"Comic Book Commentary: Homage to the New Frontier" - This documentary is a nod to the fans of the New Frontier comic book. This featurette further expands the themes contained in the source material, and how these elements were truncated or evolved for the inclusion in the film. Featuring vivid imagery culled from the pages of the New Frontier comic, mixed with the commentary of Writer and Artist Darwyn Cooke, this featurette is a treat for both fans and scholars of the medium.
"Justice League Unlimited Bonus Episodes" Bruce Timm selects three of his favorite episodes from the Justice League Unlimited animated series:
1. Dark Heart Alien invaders attempt to thwart the Justice League. The fate of the world rests on the shoulders of Ray Palmer, AKA The Atom.
2. To Another Shore - Wonder Woman learns of a plot to steal the powers of the 3,000 year-old corpse of The Viking Prince. It is up to the Justice League to make things right.
3. Task Force X - Four incarcerated villains are released from prison by Cadmus to undertake an impossible mission: steal a powerful mystic artifact from the JLU Watchtower under the noses of the League.
"Having the opportunity to take the unique work of such a legendary comic talent as Darwyn Cooke and create a small screen faithful adaptation of that style is one of the cornerstones in what we hope to develop for core and new fans alike as part of the DC Universe initiative on the Warner Premiere slate", said Matt Bierman, Vice President Production, Warner Premiere.
"Darwyn Cooke's New Frontier is justifiably considered a modern classic, and we at DC comics are excited to share this thrilling adaptation with the book's legions of loyal fans. On Feb. 26, DC Universe Animated Movies will lead everyone across the New Frontier," said Gregory Novek, Senior Vice President of Creative Affairs, Dc Comics.
"Following the huge success of Superman Doomsday, we are delighted to be releasing the second DC Universe PG-13 animated movie," said Amit Desai, WHV Vice President, Family, Animation and Sports Marketing. "Justice League: The New Frontier will certainly not disappoint fans who have been eagerly awaiting this next action-packed DC Universe installment."

You're in the wrong thread, GIL73. This forum is for the 2014 Cadillac ELR electric car, not the ancient ELR Eldorado gas guzzler.
Apparently, you have no respect for the Cadillac legacy or knowledge of the 17 city and 27 highway (at 70mph) mileage I get with a 305, 8 cylinder 32 valve Northstar engine.
Oh - you're one of those. I though you were making an honest mistake, not trolling. Apologies for responding to your uninformed nonsense. You must have missed my response to your message in the other thread you were trolling that explained how the 2014 ELR works. Here...I'll quote it for you:
Please excuse me for being "one of those" (and uninformed) while driving my (great) 2001 Eldorado.
..and thanks for the info on the ELR/VOLT. Nice to hear they would zip right out at the green light.
If you like the Eldorado and don't want the ELR, then don't look at the ELR and keep driving. Simple matter.
Because you want to save the encironment, that's why you get the new ELR duh! :)
no one complaining about the ATS being a 4 Cylinder Cadillac!
I like the concept of the volt, but badge-engineering anything into a Cadillac that I really don't like.
As much as I would love an ELR, if it comes out at $70,000, I just can't justify it. I'm on my 3rd CTS (04', 08', 11' coupe). My hope is that it doesn't sell well and Cadillac slashes the price in a year to get rid of inventory. I'd happily lease it, for a all in lease price of $4-500/month. With all the government rebates, I wonder if that would be possible in a year or so?
While I'm a big fan of this ELR and want it passionately, I'm on the same page as you, greyghost04 - $70,000 fully-loaded would be too much. However, if the car tops out at no more than $60,000 + $5,850 CA sales tax - $7,500 Federal tax credit - $2,500 CA tax rebate - $3,000 GM Card rebate, I will buy it in a heartbeat.

Help...Mold in New Construction
We're just finishing up building a new house that we started last September. It's just been sitting with house wrap on the exterior walls waiting for warmer weather to brick it. I pulled some insulation away from the exterior wall in the unfinished walkout basement and there's mold. The water is soaking into the house wrap, seemingly through the staple holes, and wetting the osb. I'm not worried about this happening once the brick is on, but I need to get this dried out and mold removed. How big of a deal is this and how do I remedy it? Thanks in advance. :(
What makes you think that water does not go through brick? Sorry, it does.
I hardly think a few staple holes is causing that much water coming inside.
Got some pictures of the outside?
Were all the seams taped?
Water coming in is usually the result of poor flashing and construction.
How about some pictures?
Sorry, I don't have pics right now. The seams were not taped, but there are no vertical seems, only horizontal and they're overlapped. This was done by the framing contractor who has a reputation for building quality, fairly high-end houses, so I presume he hasn't had this issue before. I guess I'll have to talk to him about it. Is the mold easy to get rid of?
Also, the mold spots are not near windows or other openings, just tall exposed walls.
Edit: I talked to the contractor and he said it happens the first winter if there's no brick because frost gets on the walls and comes through. He said it's no big deal, pull insulation out to dry it out and spray it with bleach. Thoughts?
Brick is veneer in this case and nothing from the structural wall should be touching the brick.
No moisture transference at that point if there is no contact.
Are their weep/vent holes on the brick?
Pulling out the wall and insulation doesn't address what caused the issue in the first place and I still suspect it is a bulk moisture issue as compared to a humidity/frost issue.
so it has been sitting there since september? and you do know that the house wrap is only good for 90 days exposed right? you do know that your to use the tar flashing tape on all the sheathing seams right? and why are you having insulation in the walls before the exterior is done? because your not dried in. you need to dry in your home first before really working on the interior.
Bleach doesn't kill mold.
I use Concrobium or Sporicide.
Common misconception.
It does do a pretty good job of interrupting the growth cycle but it does not render mold completely dead.
Brick is not a barrier wall, and has to be installed as a water-managed system, where water is allowed to go through the brick and mortar, run down the back of the brick, hit a flashing and exit out of the system through weep holes. Proper flashings and end dams have to be provided above all openings like windows and doors, and at brick ledge. Correcting Improper construction of brick veneer walls is extremely expensive, so I suggest you get yourself educated real quick.
It sounds like moisture from the basement air is condensing on the "first condensing surface" cold enough; http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...bout-diffusion
I'd talk to the builder about using some rigid foamboard, at least on the sunny-side;http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...n-brick-veneer
Per code, you are good with the ventilated air-space to the future brick, but remember, code is "minimum"- like a passing "D" in school; http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...r-requirements
The drainage plane behind the brick veneer; http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...d-wall-systems
You will continue to get mold on the inside of sheathing without a vapor barrier/retarder/air-tight drywall as f.g. is air/vapor permeable (think furnace filter), degree depends on location, where are you, in general?

Hero's Journey Bi-Weekly Q&A #1
It begins. On alternating Tuesdays, we will feature a five question Q&A with Simutronics about their highly anticipated MMORPG - the winner of our Best of E3 Award - Hero's Journey. Included this week is a single screenshot. Our weekly exclusive images will continue, mixed in with the Q&A on those weeks.
We've always had a vision on how the MMORPG space could be pushed to a whole new level and a feeling that all we had to do was demonstrate what that would look like to get people really excited. The reaction then was not really a surprise as much as it was validation. And you haven't even seen some of our really revolutionary stuff yet; we're still busy getting it polished up for public viewing over the next few months.
Some of us might have been a little surprised, because when you spend so long working on something you can lose tract of how exciting it is. The most surprising comment was "Your screenshots don't do the game justice!" Typically screenshots always look better than the actual game, so this is certainly high praise for our graphics! We'll soon release movies that will give people a much better look at what's to come.
I think the most surprising part is this: we've invested about $4 million in the development so far. The reaction to our demo is a credit to the power of the engine and toolset we spent the past three years developing – it makes a great team unbelievable productive.
Yeah, if that's any indication, well be setting the world on fire! Honestly, I think the real lesson here is that people want a lot more out of their MMORPG experience and it is up to us as game developers to bring that to them. Simutronics has always been innovative in game design. Take a look at a title like GemStone and just explore how deep the game mechanics go. This is where we live and breathe, and doing something that is more fulfilling from a game play standpoint is just what we crave to be doing each and every day. We built the technology platform that enables us to bring to a 3D game the kinds of experiences we've been developing for years in games like GemStone.
This is a key area where we want HJ to really differentiate itself from all the other MMORPGs out there. We insist that combat has a tactical edge to it. To achieve this, combat should emphasize three key factors: position, maneuver and force. In typical MMORPG game systems, you'll notice that force is about the only thing that matters. Position might matter in so far as "pulling" is concerned, but not much else. Yet in single player games, and even online shooters, these factors are all present. Our goal is to bring some of that tactical flavor to the MMORPG world.
As one example, we demonstrated how a Wall of Burninate could be cast by drawing a line on the ground exactly where you want that wall to be. Equally important, creatures react to what is gong on: the Ukar would not blindly run through that wall anymore than you would. But you can take advantage of this in many ways: divide and conquer, deny escape, route the enemy, etc.
This is just a taste of the goodies that will make Hero's Journey combat a hell of a lot more interesting than what you typically see in a MMO game.
The "jump off the back of another player" combo we showed at E3 demonstrated how a team of players in HJ could achieve an attack that would have been impossible as a solo player. Furthermore, rather than randomly chaining abilities together, we demonstrated the necessity of actually working together as a team in order to execute a more complex combat maneuver.
We plan on combos that involve more than just two players, as well. Spell casters will also have multi-player combos they can pull off. When doing so, there is a bonus to your attacks and damage that is done. We are also toying with the idea that some creatures might require such attacks to hurt significantly; but we have to be careful to balance that with solo play requirements (which is part of our core design goals).
There are many technical challenges to doing these sorts of things, which may be why most MMORPG combat has avoided these features so far. But, we are very determined that technical challenges will not force us to take the path of least resistance here: we're going to make HJ the place for interesting fantasy combat!
When we did our research, it was clear that people like to dress their characters the way they want it to look. City of Heroes definitely got this right, and our hats go off to those guys for showing the way. But people also like to find cool stuff and show it off to their friends. What we've created is a "best of both worlds" situation.
At first, we'll offer the players a wide range of ways to dress their characters. But, they will also find items in stores or on creatures, at the end of a quest, as part of special GM run merchants, etc. As you find these items, you'll be able to wear/apply them normally or use the powers on the item and apply it to existing armor/clothing. You might find a special thread or silk, which you'll be able to incorporate into any of your outfits.
Not all options will be available to the player at character creation. We still want to preserve the fun of finding cool stuff that you can add to your outfit, or maybe trade or sell to other characters. Some of these items will have special abilities as well. This keeps loot interesting while still preserving the fun of character creation.
We have this concept of Outfits. Players will create multiple outfits for their character, starting with the one they built in the initial character manager. As a player "builds" (or even crafts) their outfits, they will finalize the look and finalize the powers associated with that outfit. They can then start building a new outfit, especially as they get new ideas for new outfits or they find that really cool helmet that doesn't fit with their current outfits and requires they build a new one.
The major new feature is that items have abilities just as characters do. And these items go up in level, and have their abilities gain enhancements much like you do with your character. This is true of pets as well. Over time, this means that you can craft an amazingly custom item that will be a blast to show off, or sell to other characters.
Furthermore, we truly want this to be a community Q&A. With that in mind, we've opened this thread where you guys can post your questions for future weeks!

Mobile Insurance Seeding New (And Surprising) Business Alliances
Posted by Ellen Carney on June 15, 2011
- 538 Recommendations
- 2 comments
In the interviews we just wrapped up with insurance thought leaders, one thing's certain: Mobile is going to play a BIG role in the future of insurance. Alongside another topic (about which you'll hear more later), mobile, and its role in enabling policyholders along with underwriters, agents, commercial underwriters, and the claim supply chain, animated virtually every conversation we had. One area in particular — mobile partnerships — spurred some great discussion on the outlook for new mobile products and collaborations that might be in the offing.
Alongside Tokio Marine's intriguing mobile one-time insurance for sporting events and travel, we uncovered a unique life insurance purchasing model in South Africa. What was it that caught our attention? Econet Wireless and First Mutual Life in South Africa have teamed up to produce Ecolife, a life insurance product purchased by prepaid subscribers using mobile airtime. The customer only has to purchase US$3 to receive coverage, and the amount of coverage increases with every additional dollar (up to $10,000 coverage). First Mutual Life's attempt to reach the sizable population of South Africans without a traditional bank account has seen rampant successthus far.
And the Econet/Ecolife offering isn't the only one we came across. Other companies in Sub-Saharan Africa are looking into creating programs where customers can purchase through their mobile phone. For instance, MTN— a wireless company in Ghana — has created a program where customers can purchase life insurance with "mobile money" — essential mobile minutes — in an attempt at reaching the uninsured and often unbanked.
Products like Ecolife — fashioned by innovative alliances, bought and sold by mobile — are exactly what we expect to see more of in the next decade of insurance. Along with partnerships with the usual suspects in retail, could we see collaborations like this struck in the US between an insurer and a wireless telecommunications vendor like AT&T or Verizon? You bet.
Interested in learning more about what the future of insurance holds for different roles? Look for our series of reports this summer.
Interesting business model
Comment from Henk ten Bos on Thu, 06/16/2011 - 21:54
Interesting innovative business model. FYI: also in Asia there are already similar initiatives. Some time ago Etiqa (JV between Ageas and Maybank) in Malaysia has launched a similar initiative with Tune: Tunetalk, where a subscriber to TuneTalk gets a free PA-cover of RM 100k when maintaining his telco subscription
Thanks for the heads up on Etiqa and Tunetalk
Comment from Ellen Carney on Fri, 06/17/2011 - 15:35
Hi Henk,
Thank you for taking the time to comment on our business model post and especially for the other example. Definitely an area to be watching and to have yet another example to include in our Future of Insurance report series.

Rihanna Describes Chris Brown Attack On GMA
Going into detail about her ex-boyfriend's assault on her, Rihanna talked with Diane Sawyer about how their relationship became violent. The 21-year-old singer describes Chris Brown as "definitely my first big love" and explains, "The more in love we became, the more dangerous we became for each other–equally as dangerous. It was a bit of an obsession almost."
Telling her account of what happened that evening this past February, Rihanna says that it was indeed a text message Brown received that triggered the attack. The Barbados native claimed that Brown was lying and adds, "I wouldn't drop it."
Shortly after being punched and bit by Chris, Rihanna says, "There was no person when I looked at him." She goes on to say, "He had no soul in his eyes. Just blank."

Theo Schonneker
How long have you lived in Jefferson County and what brought you here?
I moved to Culver at age 7 with my parents Chester and Esther Harmon, and started first grade in 1932. My dad ran the mail route to Grandview and was a livestock dealer. I married John Schonneker in 1946, and I managed the office at Round Butte Growers and Shippers in Culver for 17 years, retiring in 1984.
What's the best aspect of living here?
Culver's close community atmosphere and pride in its schools. It seems like I know everybody and I like that. How sad it must be for people who are on the move all the time.
What's your favorite way to spend a day?
To have a list of things to accomplish and to get them accomplished. I enjoy doing hospice work, enjoy my church, and I like having a plan for the day.
What are your hobbies and interests?
I like to read The Madras Pioneer and The Bulletin to see what's going on, and I watch OPB and CNN TV. My favorite shows are Rick Steves, Globe Trekker, Now (an in-depth news show), and Antiques Road Show.
How may kids, grandkids, etc.?
I have three children, Chuck Schonneker of Madras, Sharon Belleisle of Washington, and Lisa Van Swoll of Hermiston; five grandkids, Kurtis Schonneker of Culver, Marcus Schonneker of Madras, John and Brandi Van Swoll of Hermiston, and Brian Belleisle of Montana; and 10 great-grandchildren. And my 104-year-old mother, Esther Harmon of Culver.

Jade of the jadeite variety, which is harder than nephrite and more highly valued, is rare.
nephrite was also perhaps the first of all stones to be used ornamentally.
Spleen′ishness, the state of being spleenish; Spleen′-stone, jade or nephrite; Spleen′wort, any fern of the genus Asplenium.
But works executed in these minerals do not fetch a price at all comparable to that of nephrite.
The walls and pillars are inlaid with costly stones of various shapes: lapis-lazuli and malachite, nephrite and agate.
Whilst the term jade is popularly used in this sense, it is now usually restricted by mineralogists to nephrite.
Beside the commoner minerals five to eight per cent of implements made of nephritoids (nephrite, jadeite, and chloromelanite).
nephrite is said to have been discovered in 1891 in the Nan-shan mountains in the Chinese province of Kan-suh, where it is worked.
Objects made of nephrite and whale's bone are lacking in the Yakima Valley.
Jadeite occurs in association with the nephrite of Turkestan, and possibly in some other Asiatic localities.

UK Outlook for Saturday 1 Jul 2017 to Monday 10 Jul 2017:
We will see changeable weather over the weekend, with cloud and outbreaks of rain, along with heavy showers in the north. There will be some sunshine too, but it will be rather breezy. The following week will stay changeable with showers or longer spells of rain. There will also be some drier and brighter spells, which will be most likely in the south and east. In the northwest, showers are likely to be heavier, perhaps bringing a risk of thunder at times. It will sometimes be windy, especially in the north and west where there will be a risk of local gales at times. Temperatures are expected to stay near the seasonal average throughout, occasionally warm in the east, but locally rather cool in the west.

UK Outlook for Tuesday 11 Jul 2017 to Tuesday 25 Jul 2017:
The changeable weather is likely to continue in the north at first, bringing further showers or longer spells of rain with only brief bright or sunny spells in between. However, drier and warmer spells are likely to become more prevalent in the south and these may spread further north as we head into the second half of the month. These would bring more in the way of sunshine and higher temperatures, and there could be some very warm spells. However, an increase in temperatures would pose the threat of some thundery showers.

hi all noob here from NJ came to this web site from a search pretty cool site i must say so i decided to sign up and get some questions answered and help out if i can
i have a 4 bedroom home that is about 100 years old. its been passed down to my great grand mom to my grand mom to my mom. shes had it since i was born my sister is on her way to college and my mom is moving to where shes at so the house is going to be handed to me. im really trying to up date this joint because its not presentable any more cover up jobs throughout wood paneling etc etc
now to the electric problem every thing trips the box u cant have the microwave and toaster on at the same time washer and microwave and the list just goes on
here are pics of the box
service line in
it has to be seriously out dated i see that as too small to run a house this size.
IM planing on starting in the basement and working my way through each room. in the basement i will be adding another full bathroom and other full bedroom and family, room all things that will need new romex ran and IM out of space with breakers and i don't know what amp the breaker is since it don't have any labels on it the power doesn't scare me and IM looking to do my own work just need a lil help
Looks like you need to upgrade your breaker box to allow more breakers... then a lot of rewiring ... don't know if you can use existing circuits as they probably overloaded like you mentioned.... so I would imagine professional would likely say rewire everything and forget your existing circuits...etc.... this is a big job... especially if you don't want to break existing walls...etc.... may be you want to do all upgrades at once so that it can be easier to handle... but then it means a lot of $$...
It sounds like you need some more circuits run. At least it sounds like the circuit breakers are functioning properly.
I can't really tell the size of the service cable, but you might have 100 amps. Then again, you might only have 60.
I think your first step is getting an electrician to look at this service, and get a price on both a panel change, and a service upgrade. This really needs a pro to look at it, see the size of the house, see what all you want to change and add, etc.
yes I agree not to DIY for panel change and service upgrade... once that got done... you can try to DIY for other stuff....
Your breakers have the amperage right on the switch. I can read most of them from 1500 miles away and they are 15 amp. I can't quite make out the main breaker but it looks like 2 digits so probably 60 or 75 amps. I bet you'll have better luck reading them from 1 foot away than me trying to read a photo through bifocals at 1500 miles.
Your breaker tripping problem is probably because you have too much load on the few (6) 120V circuits that you have. You should add separate circuits for the microwave and washer since these are giving you trouble as well as whatever circuits your planning for the basement. Your box is full so you either need a subpanel added or a new panel of the same amperage with more circuit capacity or and upgrade in service to a larger amp service with more circuit capacity.
A new subpanel would be easiest but only an electrician who actually can examine your house can tell you what's right.
You say that you want to do the work yourself because power doesn't scare you but maybe it should - you didn't even realize the breaker amperage was clearly marked. I mean no disrespect, I'm only trying to keep you or your house from being damaged, but you really need to study and learn a whole lot more before you mess with this. You can't get all the info you need from a forum. Adding a subpanel (or having an electrician add one and running the circuits yourself) is definitely doable for a DIYer if they are willing to do a lot of studying first. But your service amperage may not be adequate if you are adding more load in the basement. You really ought to have an electrician look at this.

For more information, please call or email Randy.
My wife and I moved to Minnesota in 1992, continued growing our family to 3 hard working boys that will someday take care of this place.
Randy Teinert purchased this cabin in 2001
While on vacation to Lake Kabatogama we fell in love with the area, found a property that had been for sale for over 10 years, bought and started building our dream vacation home.
This is a guest house next to the main cabin, built to share with our friends and guest to enjoy as much as we have.
Lots of room with river and lake view from every window, very private.
Hello Randy
We wanted to thank-you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful guest home. It truly was gorgeous, we were fortunate to stay in such a wonderful home. The location was amazing our sledding was fantastic! Marilyn was very accommodating, she is such a kind person. We hope you will allow us to stay at your guest home again. We already would love to come back the weekend of March 10th. I will send a contact message via your web site. We also have friends that would like to come the first weekend in March and have asked that I give them your contact information, I will give them your web site info.
Let it snow Let it snow ~ Sincerely Dawn
house was great but the fireplace didn't work. Couldn't use the Wi-Fi because we didn't have the code. Got Randy's email with the code when we got home from our trip, a little to late. Would be nice if it would have been taped on the fridge.The shower was horrible. You had to wait 5 -10 min for the water to warm up, you would have hot water for 5 min., had to get out of the shower for another 5- 10 min for it to warm up again. Then there was the pet hair. We don't have house pets so this really was pretty disgusting for us. There was pet hair all over. We had to put sheets on the sofa so we could sit on it. The bedding was also full of it.
Like I said the house was great, view was great but not great enough for the money it cost us.
We stayed in Randy's Ash Lake cabin over New Year's Eve. It was a warm, cozy and private cabin, complete with all amenities. The heated floors were fantastic. Randy was responsive and conscientious. It was a great experience.
Enjoyed the Ash Lake cabin. Wonderful view of lake and great sunset. Very clean, comfortable and toasty warm. Don't forget the wine glasses. Well worth the drive north.
We stayed at the cabin during a recent trip to Voyagers National Park. It is perfectly located 20 minutes from the Ash Lake Visitor Center and 40 minutes from Crane Lake.
The cabin itself was very well maintained, stocked, and comfortable. It felt better then home!
The dock was a great place to sit and relax or catch small mouth bass if you fish. It is situated on a great lake to canoe and boat as well.
Overall, a great place to stay and we will gladly return!
We were blown away by this cabin! We've rented other cabins up north and been very pleased, but this one wins. It is beautifully decorated and well-stocked (though I'd recommend bringing seasonings, wine bottle opener, etc). The land that the cabin sits on is gorgeous and well-manicured and the lake so peaceful! The owners were not there the weekend we visited, but were very responsive and friendly to a few questions we had and the caretaker was immediately available when we needed something. We brought our 18 month old fur-baby with us and she so enjoyed her first family vacation. She couldn't believe that she could roam the area free, run to her hearts content and swim all the day long. She was so exhausted every night, she slept well!
There is plenty of space in this cabin, plenty of towels, the weather was perfect while we were there, so it was plenty cool. We can't wait to get back to this cabin in the fall hopefully and see what a different season has to offer!
Thank you for the wonderful getaway!
The cabin exceeded our expectations. We stayed 11 nights. The lake was very quiet and peaceful; we had it to ourselves most days. Although we didn't catch many fish, we had a great time trying. We spent lots of time kayaking around the lake and into the streams that flow into/out of it. We spent many evenings sharing stories and s'mores around the fire ring.
We saw some wildlife, but nothing big or scary: field mice, a garter snake, porcupines, deer and many bald eagles and osprey. The predator birds were fun to watch as they dove down to gather fish from the lake each morning. We did see a black bear cross the road in front of us on our way into Ely one morning.
This is a great place for star gazing, as there is not much light pollution. I glimpsed the Aurora Borealis one night out the bathroom window; it was amazing! So, naturally, I woke up my kids to see it and we decided to drive up the road to get a better view. It was such a fantastic experience we could only get from being so far up north.
I think other reviewers have noted the proximity to the train track, and it's worth noting, but we live in a city, so the noise wasn't an issue for us at all. It was a little loud at first, but after awhile, we didn't even hear it anymore.
This was the perfect cabin for my family. Five of us slept perfectly in the house. All bed linens are provided and very comfortable.
The kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment, but I do recommend bringing your favorite seasonings for your food and also plan your meals ahead of time, as the nearest grocery store is about a half hour drive.
If we head that direction again, we will definitely try to book the same cabin.

Remondis Stadium, Cronulla, Friday 7.40pm (AEST)
Last meeting: Finals Week 1 2013 - Sharks 20 bt Cowboys 18 at Allianz Stadium
Head-to-head: Sharks 21 Cowboys 12
Referees: Gavin Morris, Alan Shortall
TV: Delay, Channel 9 at 9.30pm (live in Brisbane)
Ladbrokes: Cronulla Sharks $2.45, North Queensland Cowboys $1.55
Betfair: Cronulla Sharks $2.60, North Queensland Cowboys $1.59
AAP writes: If the Cowboys are ever going to win a game in Sydney this year, they are 0-7 so far, surely this is it. With Origin over, now is their chance against last-placed Cronulla even if they have been hit hard by injuries. Who knows what the Sharks will toss up after their past three efforts but injured skipper Paul Gallen (biceps) said now they are out of the finals hunt they aim to win all their remaining home games. With Johnathan Thurston and James Tamou back from Origin, the Cowboys should have too much class. Thurston is swapping his No.7 jersey for No.16 in a tribute to Alex McKinnon in the round dedicated to him. Anthony Tupou is in for Gallen at lock with Andrew Fifita to start at prop.
Key: Whatever happens, or doesn't happen, on the Cowboys' plane flight to Sydney. They have to crack it for a win in the Harbour City to keep their finals hopes alive.

Book Review: One Simple Idea by Mitch Horowitz
Ronald Reagan is remembered as much for his style as his politics. With his sunny smile and pep, he was a happy warrior. He was also an avowed mystic. A hero to evangelical Christians, Reagan's own spirituality was shaped by his time in Hollywood: He consulted psychics and said he'd seen UFOs. As Mitch Horowitz points out in One Simple Idea, an intellectual history of the positive-thinking movement, Reagan would retell a story borrowed from the occult scholar Manly Hall that went like this: On July 4, 1776, a mysterious figure—possibly a member of an ancient order of philosophers—appeared in the Philadelphia statehouse, somehow passing the guarded doors unseen. Stepping from the shadows, he gave a rousing oration that inspired the wavering delegates to sign the Declaration of Independence. Then he vanished.
Reagan's election, as Horowitz sees it, marked the decisive mainstreaming of positive thinking, the belief that thought alone can cure disease, alter circumstances, and ensure wealth. Today the Penguin Group has an entire imprint dedicated to metaphysical literature, and Horowitz is its editor-in-chief. His book tells of the entrepreneurs and gurus who formulated New Thought, as he calls it, and moved it, over many decades, in from the fringe.
New Thought is simply the belief that "our thoughts possess some kind of power, both on ourselves and on events around us." Different proponents have taken that to mean different things: Phineas Quimby, a tubercular Maine clockmaker, became convinced in the 1830s that disease originated in the mind and could be cured there. (Mary Baker Eddy, founder of the Church of Christ, Scientist, tended to minimize the intellectual debt she owed him.) Wallace Wattles, an early-20th-century Methodist minister and socialist, preached that the mind, properly used, worked like a magnet to attract favorable circumstances—an idea that reappeared a century later as The Secret in the Oprah-approved bestseller of the same name. Glenn Clark, founder of the Camps Farthest Out, said that the right preparation routine ensured the efficacy of prayer. During World War II, he claimed his prayer groups had slowed Hitler's march into Poland.
In its early years, New Thought was dominated by progressives and political radicals, suffragettes and other free thinkers. As self-help has become a big business, Horowitz says it's become a more narrowly materialistic creed, "a methodology of winning" focused on getting ahead and getting rich. Prosperity gospel churches such as Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church and T.D. Jakes's Potter's House have become multimedia goliaths, fed by the tithing of tens of thousands of congregants who gather on Sundays to hear about the riches God has in store for them.
Horowitz is a fluid writer, and if some of the figures in his book tend to blur together, that's probably inevitable given the form he has chosen: a daisy chain of capsule biographies glossed with commentary. While occasionally critical of his subjects, he's never terribly so. Either because of his own position in the self-help/spirituality industry or because he is himself, by training or temperament, a positive sort, he's unfailingly respectful of the teachings he describes.
And like Reagan, he's unembarrassed about the mystical side of positive thinking. Horowitz ends his book with a chapter titled "Does It Work?" He says it does. He points to the placebo effect, which New Thought proponents wrote about long before the medical establishment took it seriously. He also writes of a few unreplicated studies—research most scientists do not take seriously—that show evidence for ESP. He holds out hope that quantum theory, in which "an observer's consciousness determines objective reality," might apply on a larger scale, helping explain how our minds might shape the world around us. Where Horowitz will lose readers is between the placebo effect and this parapsychology. Most of us have no problem believing positive thinking has power, but superpowers?

Aaah, Toyota, we feel your searing Le Mans pain.
The world's biggest maker of motor vehicles (production of 10 million annually) desperately wanted to win the world's biggest endurance race to validate its expertise in the field of hybrid technology.
It was always going to be a huge test going up against Audi and the returning Porsche, the two brands that have enjoyed a massive grip on the 24 Hours of Le Mans for several decades.
All three marques had chosen hybrid cars with a form of all-wheel drive for the World Endurance Championship and its centrepiece, Le Mans.
Toyota had swept the earlier rounds of the championship, including the Spa 24 Hours, and had dominated testing and qualifying for the French classic.
Its pair of TS040 hybrid racers earned logical favouritism against three Audis that didn't have outright pace and the still-developing and difficult-to-drive Porsche duo.
But the race was not even 100 minutes old when one of the Toyotas (No. 8) was caught in a multi-car crash during a rain shower, losing eight laps and all chance of victory
The survivor, however, impressively ran up front until the 15th hour when, crushingly for the team, it was sidelined with electric issues.
Audi again pulled the rabbit out of the hat for its 13th victory at Le Mans. It was a win that for so long looked unlikely with Toyota on top for so long and then the Mark Webber Porsche hitting the lead near the end.
Third place to the repaired Toyota No. 8 was a bitter-sweet result hardly worth celebrating.
The unravelling of the Toyota assault saved the two premium European brands the unthinkable ignominy of the Japanese mass-producer of Corollas and Taragos stealing the glory.
Next year, the outright battle for bragging rights will extend to Nissan, which will also have a petrol hybrid prototype contender at Le Mans.
Volvo earns street cred with V8 Supercars
In its first season in V8 Supercars, a small Swedish brand has done a splendid job, and not only on track where it has pole positions and a win.
Volvo has also cleverly leveraged its involvement, emphasising Kiwi driver Scott McLaughlin's unrestrained job satisfaction and impromptu remarks about jandal activity.
Volvo Australia's managing director (and motoring racing enthusiast) Matt Braid is pumped about the strong impact his cars have made on the racetracks in the marque's first year, and the "halo on the brand" benefits flowing from the track activities. He points to improved sales (the S60 model on which the V8 Supercar is based is up 63 per cent year to date) and increased showroom traffic.
Braid said the racing commitment is also "about getting street cred, and we're seeing that in the polls and the positive comments on social media".
He hopes Volvo's success might encourage other premium brands to jump into V8 Supercars.
On the grid and off it, Volvo has certainly embarrassed the numerically stronger Nissan, which has been in the series for 12 months longer. Importantly, Nissan has recognised its deficiencies and earlier this year replaced its motor racing overseer with a more marketing-focused motorsport activation manager. His task is to implement a serious promo program around Nissan's multimillion-dollar V8 Supercars involvement.
Australians switch on formula one, defying trend
Formula one's television audiences have dived dramatically in many key markets, but not in Australia where Daniel Ricciardo's performances have encouraged his countrymen to switch on in droves.
The global decline began with the dominance of Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel and accelerated when some markets went to pay TV.
Even the German TV audience has contracted despite Nico Rosberg and Mercedes leading the world championship.
The biggest concern is the up to 50 per cent slump in some Latin American markets.
Italians are turning off, the 20 per cent decline this season a reflection of Ferrari's lack of recent success. Similarly, Spanish figures are down 15 per cent, linked to Fernando Alonso's ordinary year in his red car.
Globally, the F1l audience fell from 515 million in 2011, to 500m in 2012 and down to 450m last year.
Unhelpful too was the situation in the world's most populous country where Chinese state broadcaster CCTV ended its grand prix coverage.
Former F1 team boss Flavio Briatore has his strong views on why the TV audience has shrunk, telling Italy's Radio24 the lack of noise and new technical rules are to blame. ''The audience is clearly enjoying it a lot less. There are drivers who save fuel, drivers who only do 'fake' overtaking when their wing flap is open and drivers who are doing their accounting in the car rather than being gladiators."
Locally, OzTAM reports the 2014 races on Network Ten are averaging 443,000 sets of eyes, up 35 per cent and an excellent result given the unfriendly timing of some of the live telecasts.
After losing V8s, Seven shifts into Bathurst
Having lost its deal to cover Australian V8 Supercar racing from next year to Foxtel pay TV and Ten, the top-rating Seven Network has backed the growing appeal of the Bathurst 12 Hour race for exotic GT cars and will show the enduro live on February 8.
The race, which attracts quality drivers and teams from around the globe, will be shown live in its entirety free-to-air on the Seven Network.

Our 12 month+ planning for extending/renovating our house is getting closer to starting. We have a modest 3br butterfly roof house that was built in 1958 and we want to honour the style of the time, but with a modern twist.
One of the things we would like to do is reuse our old kitchen vents and door handles. We should be right with the circular vents, although if anyone knows of any spares we would love to know about them, but what we do need help with is sourcing some cabinet handles as shown in the pic below.
We need at least four in the kicthen (we only have two), but if we could get more then we might be able to use them elsewhere (laundry, robes etc). So, if you have an old house with handles like this that you are about to rip apart (or know someone who does) then please raid the doors first!
Once they're cleaned up they should look a treat.

The appraiser is useful to guess auction prices
Maybe we often see there are some people who can guess the right price of an item. It is not because they are lucky or inadvertently correctly but it is because they know how to decide the price of item. We can also find them around us but they do not appraise the items but the property. The appraiser has the ability as a gift because not much people can do what they do. Maybe, it looks simple but if we try to follow their work, we can not guess correctly. Usually, people who have the ability of appraiser, they will be useful for appraising the price on unique items. They can be reliable guesses in an auction. We can use their service in many cases not only to guess auction price. For example, they can know the right price for a place to rent or sell. If we want to use their service, we can ensure that we do incur losses in both the revenue and expenditure.
For the tenants, the appraisers can advise the rental price in daily or monthly. Usually, we often feel a loss in accommodation business or rental business. It is because we have set the price too low and we did not realize it. We can not set up the price of lease or rental because it can reduce the interest of customers to use our services. If we use an appraiser to determine the price before, maybe we would not get a loss. For the buyers or customers, an appraiser can help to find the best goods and place for our needs. If we buy something that is negotiable, the appraiser will take the right price and ask it to seller. If the seller do not agree with his assessment, appraiser will not proceed with the transaction.

Breathe easy: A map of the houses checked for TCE vapour pollution next to the Holden factory at Elizabeth.
18 September 2012
By RON HAMMERTON
HOMES near GM Holden's Elizabeth factory in South Australia have been given a clean bill of health after traces of toxic cleaning solvents were found in the soil in and around the factory property north of Adelaide.
An independent site contamination consultant called in by Holden to check for pollution from trichloroethene (TCE) and tetrachloroethylene (PCE) under 40 houses next to the factory has reported that levels of the chemicals emitted as gas from the soil is "extremely low" and well below internationally accepted health guidelines.
The auditors checked for the gas in the crawl spaces under the houses to see if TCE/PCE contamination found in groundwater was leaking into the atmosphere as vapour – a potential health issue.
Holden says the result means local residents are not exposed to any unacceptable health risks.
However, testing continues around the plant as Holden and the SA Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) build a more complete picture of the TCE pollution, which was discovered in groundwater 18 to 20 metres below the Elizabeth factory during an environmental audit in 2011.
Holden executive director of manufacturing Richard Phillips said the test results were welcome news for residents in the area.
"This is good and reassuring news for our neighbours and the wider community," he said.
"We have said from the outset that the community and our employees are our number-one priority and these test results will allay any concerns."
While Holden has initiated the environmental checks, it has stopped short of accepting the blame for the pollution.
"Holden recognises that we are only one of several industrial entities that may have caused or contributed to the contamination several decades ago, but we have stepped up to investigate and manage the matter and will continue testing," Mr Phillips said.
TCE is an industrial chemical historically used as a metal cleaner and degreaser in industry.
Holden says it once used TCE in its manufacturing processes, but not for many years.
The EPA has advised local residents not to use bore water.

CineSapiens 3D
Director Edgar Pêra and Portugese actor Nuno Melo just finished shooting a 3D stereoscopic short movie in the city of Guimarães (Portugal), the 2012 European capital city of culture.
The "CineSapiens 3D" short film is roduced by Rodrigo Areias and portrays the journey of a man going from the prehistoric caves of silent films, to talkies, color, and finally to 3D stereoscopic cinema and the holocinema of the future. The movie tries to reflect on the evolution of movies in three dimensions and its validity in today's cinema.
Maybe a longer version in the future?
This 3D short initiative proposes to expand the projet to a full feature movie that may be helmed by two big names, Jean-Luc Godard and Peter Greenaway. The long version should explorer the dichotomy between 3D in previous decades and the cinema of today. If the project goes through, expect to be amazed by the two avant-garde directors....
Edgar Pêra is on IMDB. Nuno Melo is also on IMDB.
Cinesapiens 3D's very first images are available on the movie's Facebook page. Shooting took place between august 27 and September 2, 2012 in the Jordan Theatre in Guimarães (Portugal).

We have been called "over-protective."
My mother once accused us of that. This was after she had found out that not only were we homeschooling her grandchildren but we were also considering apprenticeship rather than college and courtship rather than dating. After I had some time to think about it, I told her that we were not trying to protect our children from the world—they have to live in the world—but we were trying to protect them from sin. There are some sins that people commit only once that can ruin the rest of their lives. I said, "Not to be critical, Mom, but I could have used a little more protection as I was growing up."
Recently my husband and I went to a movie. It was a pretty clean movie, and it was entertaining. At the end of the movie, the guy and the girl finally got together; however, there was a line at that point that particularly struck me. The guy said something like, "It's just a casual date, and if we end up in bed, so what?"
Every now and then, I realize what a protected environment I live in. That was one of those times. I started asking around, "Do people these days really think that way? Is everyone like that?" The answer that I received most of the time was, "Yes, Lyndsay, people really think that way these days—but not everybody." Some consolation it is that not everybody thinks that way!
Apparently my friends are right that there are some who have such loose morals. I managed to miss the interview with Monica Lewinsky after … well, you know. I have heard, though, that her talk was coarse and that she spoke a lot about the behavior of her circle of friends who would take advantage of each of the three weekend nights by sleeping with different people each night. Is this considered normal behavior in our society?
What about the recent shootings in schools – the continuing rash of children killing children? To me, some of the saddest stories that have gone along with the shootings are those of parents who had been homeschooling their children and had recently put them back into the public schools for whatever reason, just in time to have them killed by another student with a gun.
One day my mother was having a talk with my aunt about the metal detectors being used in the junior high schools in Oklahoma City, where my aunt lives. At the end of the conversation, my mom said, "Well, maybe Tim and Lyndsay have the right idea after all." She never told us that, but I appreciated my aunt passing along the comment.
I remember going to a meeting in our hometown some years ago, at which the president of the school board was speaking. He talked about having drug-sniffing dogs in the elementary schools. This was actually going on at the time in our conservative West Texas town! I turned to Tim and asked, "And they wonder why I want to home school my children?"
I was telling a friend once that one of the things that had encouraged us to homeschool was the negative influences our children had been around when they were playing in the local soccer league. I commented that those children would be the ones that my children would be sitting next to in class. She said, "But, Lyndsay, that is not the fault of the public schools." I agreed. There are many dedicated teachers and administrators in the public schools. There are many fine children there also; however, these children, who were going in different directions than the direction I wanted my children to go, would still be the children that my children would be spending both supervised and unsupervised time with if they went to school with them.
I was talking to another lady not too long after we began to teach our children at home. Her comment to me was, "Lyndsay, your children are going to be different!" Coming from someone who had two daughters who did not have good reputations and/or were pregnant before graduating from high school, I found her comment very interesting. I said, "That's the point!" to which she responded, "Oh, um, yes, I, um, see what you mean."
I was visiting with a home school graduate not long ago who was discussing a conversation she had had with her doctor, who was impressed that she was a virgin. This man encouraged her, telling her that he knew the pressures were great but that she should not give in. Her comment to me was that she had never received that kind of pressure. This girl is different, but what a refreshing difference!
Please do not get me wrong. Home schooling is not a panacea for all problems. This young lady's parents had been very careful—not just to homeschool her but to see that she had friends who would support the values that they had taught her rather than work against them. They had been very watchful of the places that she went and the things that she did.
Now that my children are all adults, sometimes they reminisce together about their childhood days. One day I overheard them discussing the fact that they had been protected—talking about things like the movies and television shows that we had not let them watch when they were young. It warmed my heart as they talked about how they also planned to protect their children; apparently our protection had not hurt them a bit.
OK. I admit that I protected my children.
But was I overprotective? I don't think so!
