Fuel savings from burner/nozzle reduction
Does anyone here have any experience with reducing the burner and/or burner nozzle size in order to achieve fuel savings? I have been adding additional insulation to my home and know for a fact that my current furnace is substantially oversized for the amount of hourly heat loss that my house now experiences. During the absolutely coldest days the burner only runs for 9 minutes in every 32 minutes (about a 28% duty cycle for my oil-fired warm air furnace).
What I'm trying to determine is whether it is cost-effective to replace the burner with a smaller unit that will allow me to use a smaller burner nozzle (the current burner is a Riello 40-F5 that is only 11 years old). Supposedly there will be a fuel savings if I do this, but I have no idea if i could see something as impressive as a 10-20% fuel savings or something as insignificant as only a 1% fuel savings.
The furnace is designed to have a certain temp rise thru it. Smaller burner=less heat=potential for condensation/sulphur buildup/corrosion in the heat exchanger. I would not do it. The furnace may be slightly more efficient when it runs longer but a BTU is a BTU and what leaks out of your house must be replaced by equal BTU's. The house does not care how long that takes. If you have gas in your area use it instead and buy a 2 stage furnace. Oil is stupidly expensive vs gas in Manitoba. Electric heat is reasonable too, about the same cost as an 80% efficient gas furnace here.
Good Day Eh
A reduction in nozzle size can save fuel.
How much, can't be determined from this soide of the internet.
However, the Riello is not a forgiving burner.
You'll need combustion test equipment to set it up proper if its not at its min firing rate already.
If not set up properly. It will use more oil. :eek:
Getting a new smaller Riello won't be cost effective if your 40 can't be downfired.
Thanks for the input BeenThere.
What I can tell you is that the information on the furnace information plate does clearly indicate that the current burner can be replaced with the smaller Riello 40-F3. When this smaller burner is combined with the nozzle 0.60-60W it will provide 84,500 BTU instead of the current 112,700 BTU/hr that the current configuration is capable of delivering.
Just to let everyone that reads this post know if I do replace the burner it will be with the assistance of a fully trained and equiped burner technician. I would not attempt a job like this on my own at this point.
The key detail I'm trying to determine is what I could realistically expect to see for fuel savings.
Oh yes, to answer an earlier question natural gas is not available here in Prince Edward Island.
Realistically you could increase the fuel consumption. If the furnace was sized for your house as it is then by reducing BTU's you could make you furnace run longer to heat the same space..Under sizing the furnace to your house
There are a number of varibles to sizing a furnace to name a few
Sq ft of house
Ceiling height
Duct work
Number of windows
How well the house is insulated
Either a 80 or 90+ %
Check your current temp rise. Temp of air entering furnace, and temp of air leaving furnace. And post what it is.
Thats a fairly good drop in nozzle size.
The combustion chamber may be too large for that firing rate. Or it may not be.
A good tech would measure it before just down firing.
Along with temp rise, and current CFM the furnace is moving.
As I stated in the original posting the current system is substantially over-sized. The burner only runs about 9 minutes in every 32 during evenings when it is -25 deg Celcius (that's about -13 deg F). Going on the facts as I see them I have no concerns in "considering" a reduced BTU furnace configuration (a heat output reduction from the current 112,000 btu/hr to 84,000). The demonstrated heat input requirement for the house is 9min/32min = 28%, 28% of 112,000 = 31,500 btu/hr. If I actually do go ahead with a burner/nozzle reduction that delivers 84,000 BTU I will still be well above what the house actually needs.
Here is some additional background information.
Back a few decades ago when the first warm-air furnace was installed the house was newly constructed. It only had single glaze windows. It only had R12 insulation in the attic. The basement and the basement header was fully un-insulated. Back at that time the original furnace was most likely sized properly. However, there have been many improvements over the years that have greatly reduced heat loss.
I recorded the burner cycle time over the last few weeks (during the coldest evenings).
I have a high efficiency gas furnace, 66,000 BTU output in a VERY well insulated house. It runs for 10 mins ON with 20 mins or longer off cycles with a 1deg F differential. I do not consider that a problem and it gets to be -35 to -40 C in Winnipeg. I do this work professionally and am not going to replace the furnace with a smaller one as it is not a problem IMO. I doubt if the fuel savings if any from what you are doing are going to be that worthwhile. A smaller furnace may be a bit more comfortable. There is no way to guarantee the % savings unless you talk to a HVAC professional design engineer. For longer cycles they now have 2 and 3 stage gas furnaces.
Just curious though, can you tell me more about multi-stage furnaces?
Its not will it heat your house.
That we're concerned with. As much as, will it use more, because you have lowered its thermal efficiency too.
You may not have a hot enough flame for good combustion, and heat transfer, it you lower the nozzle too much.
Lowering the flame temp by 200°F is one thing.
Lowering it by 600°F is another.
If the burnt gas temp drops too low, you get sulfuric acid formations(good reason to buy a new furnace shorty after).
Along with chimney repairs.
You may not be able to slow your blower enough to maintain proper temp rise. Which will also cause condensation in the furnace, and damage it.
You may not be able to reduce firing rate as much as you think.
I have nothing against down firing.
But, it has to be done with the furnaces combustion design kept in mind. And, maintain proper flame temp, and flue temp.
Check Lennox.com and look at the G61 and G71. The G61 fires at 80% of its total capacity for the first 10 mins and then goes to high 100%. The G71 can be used at 45/75/100% or modulating. There are no 2 stage oil furnaces but with electric you can use a high/low switch in milder weather. I imagine electricity is expensive in PEI as it is coal/nuclear? We pay 8c/kwh here for hydro.
Beenthere is absolutely right. I have done lots of oil and what sounds simple can create all those problems. Not worth the risk.
As Yuri had suggested earlier, it's looking like I'll have to track down a design engineer in order to get an estimate on the potential fuel savings. From what I'm hearing so far there appears to be no simple answer to my question.

The Kingdom of Thailand lies in the heart of South East Asia. Theshape and geography are divided into four distinct natural regions: the mountains and forests of the North; the vast rice fields of the Central Plains; the semi-arid farm lands of the Northeast plateau; and the tropical islands and long coastline of the peninsula South.The land of smiles is jam-packed full of excitement -from Temples and Buddhist monks to oriental dances, bustling markets, unique fauna and flora, exotic food, exciting nightlife, serene hills, virgin rainforests and charming island resorts.
Bangkok also offers a treasure trove of cultural attractions and an opportunity to experience fascinating glimpse of Thailand's gentle culture amidst the bustle of a great and dynamic metropolis.710 Years old, Chiang Mai, lies to the north and is more laid-back than Bangkok but is still as captivating.The original city layout still exists as a neat square surrounded by a moat with vestiges of the fortified wall. Surrounded by lush mountainous terrain, the north is perfect for trekking and offers an insight into the local hill tribes. Of course, Thailand is blessed with some of the world's most-enviable islands and beaches with Phuket, Koh Samui and Koh Phi Phi ensuring your holiday in the south will be filled with water sports, hammocks and sunset strolls along the water's edge.
Some areas are busier whilst others offer a more serene experience - be sure to research your breakaway carefully.
It's affordable and easy to get around Thailand. Each of the hubs are serviced by scheduled air services and we are able to offer convenient and hassle free transfers from the airports to your hotel or resort.There are no shortages of taxis in the cities and Bangkok also offers the Skytrain as well as tuk-tuks and boats running up and down the Chao Phraya River. The island havens off the coast of Koh Samui and Phuket are accessible by ferries.
Thailand's tropical climate has three main seasons:
- Hot : March to June
- Rainy : July to October
- Cool : November to February
Average temperatures range from 20°C to 35°C, with
the weather being a little cooler in the north of the country.
The East and West coasts experience different monsoon seasons:
- The Gulf of Thailand (East coast) = November to March
- The Andaman Sea (West coast) = May to October
- The monsoon rains are generally short and heavy, clearing quickly and days of constant rain are rare.
The national language is Thai, although English is widely spoken in cities and larger towns.
Light, cool clothes are sensible.Shorts (except knee length walking shorts), sleeveless shirts, tank tops and other beach-style attire are considered inappropriate dress when not actually at the beach or in a resort area.
It is important to show respect for the Thai Royal Family. Revealing attire is not allowed in religious shrines. Do not climb over or sit on Buddha monuments. Do not touch or give anything directly to a Buddhist monk if you are a woman. Thais greet each other by pressing their palms together called 'wai'. It is rude to touch people on their head or point your feet at people or an object.
The electric current is 220 volts AC (50 cycles) and the majority of electrical outlets take a round, two-pronged slim plug.
Visitors do not require vaccinations unless coming from or passing through a designated contaminated area. Drink only bottled water and avoid ice unless you know is made from bottled or boiled water. Don't eat from the food vendors on the street, unless you are sure of their cleanliness and proper care must be taken against sunburn.
Visitors to Thailand require a valid passport (which must be valid for at least six months after one has RETURNED to South Africa and feature a minimum of four blank pages).South African passport holders do not require a visa for a maximum stay of 1 month;but it is advisableto check with the relevant Embassy before departure.
The currency is the Thai Baht which is better for bargaining and shopping in markets. US Dollars, Pounds and Euros are accepted at hotels.
A service charge is already included in all prices. Tips, in general, are not mandatory, and you should only give them if you are really content with the service offered. Waiters, bellboys, porters, restroom attendants and taxi drivers will happily accept loose change.
Thailand is 5 hours ahead of South Africa.
Thailand boast many festivals throughout the year, one of the most famous being the Songkran Festival in mid-Aprilwhich washes away all the bad spirits and celebrates the traditional Thai New Year. Basically, Songkran is all about getting wet so be prepared to be squirted with ice water!
Take your pick from our wide variety of Thailand packages.

MessageGood thinking Deb, but one can easily position the PeaPod the prevent this sag. Since the PeaPod and my hammock both have Velcro along the long edges, the PeaPod can be Velcroed to one edge of the hammock and the other edge can be tucked inside the hammock far enought to eliminate the unwanted air space bleow. Of course when the PePod is fully wrapped around the hammock, there is no botom sag anyway.And yes, I often keep the PeaPod and hammock together and stuff them together into my pack. On a recent trip, my partner used the Moonbow Gearskin pack which easily allowed him to stuff the PeaPod, hammock, sleep pads, and sleeping bag all together into the pack at the same time--it was very simple and took only 1-2 minutes from take down to be fully packed! Sure beats stuffing gear into tiny stuff bags on cold mornings!...Ed

- After my post yesterday... Thanks to all who responded with great
ideas, I got an email off list pointing me to the Garlington
insulator, a "taco" shell hanging below the hammock. R. Garlington
(first name unknown to me) has a site describing the contraption at:
I built one last night, having a bit of silnylon on hand for a
project I will not do, and hope to test it soon in our cold weather.
Ed mentioned in his post that insulation is inefficient if a lot of
sag exists between the hammock and the insulation. Great point, that
I had forgotten. Since the warmth will be due to my body heating up
the insulation area, a large space will take more energy to heat than
a rather small space. (Vpor barrier warming methods are the ultamet
end of this line of reasoning.) But having a couple inches of dead
space can take less energy than having many inches of dead space...
if there is little gradient across that dead space... ie if the space
is not filled with many little spaces like down.
The other problem is movement in the space. The more the space moves
around, the more mixing occurs, and the more heat is lost by the
enhanced convection.
The Garlington insulator attempts to minimize this motion and a
uniformly medium thick layer of dead space by sandwitching plastic
gargage bags, partly inflated with air between the hammock and a
silnylon shell.
Well, its a great theory. And it is going to be cold tonight...
maybe too cold at 10, but I may get a data point tonight or soon.

Jamaal Franklin to Leave SDSU Early for NBA Draft
April 12, 2013
SAN DIEGO - San Diego State junior guard Jamaal Franklin has elected to forgo his senior season, hire an agent and enter the 2013 NBA Draft, which is slated for June 27. The two-time Associated Press All-American leaves SDSU after leading the Aztecs in scoring and rebounding the last two years.
A product of Hawthorne, Calif., Franklin spent three seasons on Montezuma Mesa, helping the Aztecs to three straight NCAA appearances, three NCAA tournament victories, which were the first three in school history, three consecutive seasons of 23 wins or more, and three Mountain West championships (2011 regular season, 2011 tournament, 2012 regular season).
As a freshman, Franklin was on the record-setting 2010-11 team that advanced to the Sweet 16, won the MW championship and completed the season with a 34-3 record. Over the first 21 games of the year, Franklin saw the court just nine times, but earned his way in the rotation and ultimately played in 13 of the final 16 games as the Aztecs were marching toward a deep run in the month of March and a school-record total for wins in a season. He finished with averages of 2.9 points and 1.9 rebounds in 8.1 minutes.
Franklin exploded onto the scene his sophomore campaign, which saw him become CBS Sports' Most Improved Player. After guiding San Diego State to the Mountain West regular-season title, Franklin was named the 2012 MW Player of the Year, becoming the first Aztec to win the award since 2006, and the first sophomore to be named the league's top player since 2005. The 6-5 guard ultimately guided SDSU to the NCAA tournament and finished with season averages of 17.4 points and 7.9 rebounds, which were the second-greatest improvements in Division I that year.
This past season, the junior continued what he started as a sophomore and led the Aztecs in scoring (17.0), rebounding (9.5), assists (3.3) and steals average (1.6), which made him the only Division I player in America to lead his team in all four categories. Franklin, who was an all-Mountain West first-team performer for the second consecutive season, helped the Aztecs secure their third NCAA tournament win in the last three years with the team's 70-55 victory over Oklahoma.
For his 87-game San Diego State career, Franklin started the final 55 games in which he saw action and played in 68 SDSU wins, which is the 11th-most in program history, and averaged 13.6 points and 7.0 rebounds. He finishes his career ranked among the top 20 in school history in points (1,181 - 17th), rebounds (605 - 14th), three-point field goals (100 - 13th), free-throw percentage (.7825 - 10th), blocked shots (51 - T-16th), efficiency points (1,282 - 13th), points-rebounds-assists (1,952 - 10th), and conference wins (28 - 15th).
Accolades wise, Franklin has a number of them, including being a two-time AP All-American, the first at San Diego State since Michael Cage accomplished the feat in 1983 and 1984. Franklin is also a two-time first-team all-Mountain West selection, NABC all-district performer and Basketball Times all-district player, and a member of the 2012 USBWA all-district squad.
Franklin is looking to become the Aztecs' second NBA Draft pick in the last three years, following in the footsteps of former teammate Kawhi Leonard, a 2011 first-round choice.

For generations, the bathroom stall has worn the scribbled heartaches and triumphs of its visitors. And its appeal endures, despite the recent arrival of the Facebook wall where we're now supposed to post such things.
Perhaps it's the very anonymous and low-tech way a young woman answered the painful confessions inked on one Canadian university bathroom stall that has made her letter go viral online, posted to
and written about on news websites in Britain and the United States.
"In a girls' bathroom stall at my university, girls have written about some of their most horrifying life experiences," wrote the reddit user "chellylauren" when she posted the photo on Jan. 14th. "This week, someone replied."
The letter — written out on a torn out piece of Hilroy notebook paper and taped to the inside of the stall — is addressed various anonymous people, and offers a word of compassion to each.
"To the girl who was raped: You are so strong. I cannot fathom the pain you must have gone through. The fact that you have the bravery to write it (even on a bathroom wall) gives me hope," she writes.
"To the girl with eating disorders: I promise you, although I don't know you, you are beautiful, you deserve your health. You deserve freedom from that hell."
She also addresses the girl who has an alcoholic father and a girl whose father died.
"Everytime (sic) I see these walls, these confessions, I feel so blessed to know I have the priviledge (sic) of seeing them," the letter goes on to say. "Your moments, these secrets, are all precious even though they are sad. To all of you (including those I did not mention, and those who have not yet written) You are worthy. You are strong. You are brave. You are loved. Somebody cares."
Chellylauren, who suggests she is not the author of the letter, also wrote on reddit "This note gave me faith in university girls, despite the number of times I've lost that faith throughout my post-secondary years."
Shauna Pomerantz, an associate professor of child and youth studies at Brock University who studies girls and girl culture, said that though the bathroom is a very private place, it's long served as a place of informal support for women and girls, who might hide away there to gossip or get a word in private. And while scrawls like 'I was here,' or 'I love Bobby' are ubiquitous, there can be some heavy psychological confessing going on there too.
"It's low tech but it's a very private place where very public things happen," she said. "What's new about this and why it made it to reddit is somebody maybe sat in the hallway and took 15 minutes to write a very caring and powerful response to these young women's cry for attention.
It's also compelling because of its simplicity and tangibility, being on a real piece of paper and in person —meant for those girls who use that washroom from day to day to see and know someone amongst them cares, she said.
"I think the low tech-ness of it suggests that all the social media we have at our fingertips and disposal, it doesn't cut through the crap."

THE FULL TEXT OF THE NOTE To the girl who was raped: You are so strong. I cannot fathom the pain you must have gone through. The fact that you have the bravery to write it (even on a bathroom wall) gives me hope. To the girl with eating disorders: I promise you, although I don't know you, you are beautiful, you deserve your health. You deserve freedom from that hell. To the girl with the alcoholic father: I am so sorry for the agony it must cause. Again, such courage is remarkable you must be such a strong person to see such pain. To the girl whose father died: Missing them never goes away. The ache of their absence never goes away. ut the love they had, the memories you share surely must last. I am sure, out of the bottom of my heart, the people who have left you in this world are exceptionally proud of the person you are. Everytime I see these walls, these confessions, I feel so blessed to know I have the priviledge of seeing them. Your moments, these secrets, are all precious even though they are sad. To all of you (including those I did not mention, and those who have not yet written) -You are worthy. -You are strong. -You are brave. -You are loved. –Somebody cares.
UPDATE — The user who posted the note on reddit, chellylauren, responds:
Wow, this is fantastic! While I would love to speak with you about it, I'm not necessarily sure that it is my place to do so. This photo was posted on a facebook page called "UMentioned Western," one of many facebook pages for (at least Canadian) universities. It acts as a sort of bathroom wall, in a sense, for people to message this account with posts such as "Boy in the blue jacket in Bio 1001, you're so handsome and I wish you would notice me," and the message will be posted anonymously to the page that day. Many people use it just to let a friend know that they care, or in general to get some thoughts out. It's a brilliant idea in my opinion, I know all of us university students would love to see that someone out there on the internet has something nice to say about us. But sometimes little gems like this note come up. It received around 500 likes on the facebook page if I can remember correctly, and I was so inspired and warmed by this note that I knew I had to share it with the world. And what better way than through Reddit? Recently, the author of this note left a message with UMentioned, and I think that with this sort of circumstance, UMentioned will help me help you get in contact with this person, despite the anonymity promise for UMentioned. The girl who wrote the note left this message with the facebook page: "Hi Umentioned, A few days ago, I wrote a letter on the bathroom wall of the second story UC girls washroom, in response to what some people had written about the worst days of their lives. While I would like to remain anonymous I very much wanted to thank the people who liked, posted, photographed and shared it. When I wrote it- I honestly thought I there was a chance I would get responses like " how dare you write this! You don't know these peoples' pain!" — and that's true. Who am I to hold a monopoly on human suffering? But the overwhelming response was one of love. And it was heart-wrenching. The world is not always full of good people, and this place we inhabit is sometimes cold, or lonely, or broken. But within these shards of human sadness and in the dregs of sickness— there is a profound beauty. While bad things happen to good people, good things happen to good people too. The real wonder and awesomeness is not what I wrote– it is the people who passed on the message to others. And those who had the strength to write what they did on those stalls. Thank them. Thank you. There is goodness in this world. There is richness of spirit and truth and wonderment and freedom and peace. All waiting to be found. The act all these people have done– has made me believe in the world we live in, just a little bit more. Funny enough, I always wanted to wind up on Likealittle or Overheard at Uwo or Umention as someone who was "cute and spotted here" or "pretty and wearing this" …. I'm so much happier that I wound up on here for what I wrote on a bathroom wall."

I have two beautiful daughters and had two c-sections. My youngest is turning two, and I gave myself two years to get the weight off and lose the tummy. My scar is fine, but there is skin that hangs over it that I can't get rid of. I am an avid marathon/half marathon runner, but I just couldn't lose my tummy.
I went to the same doctor for a few consultations before I worked up the nerve to set the date. I am having a mini tummy tuck with lipo and no muscle repair. I am super nervous, but from what I have read on here the pain isn't as bad as a c-section!
Will be adding some before photos soon... yikes!

Gallery Night Openings
Here are a few gallery openings which we weren't able to include in the print issue of the paper.
Here's a link to the print listings.
Paper Boat Gallery and Boutique
2375 S. Howell Ave.
Prints by Kimberly Weiss (Milwaukee) and Joseph Rizzo (Minneapolis)
Opening reception Oct. 17, 7-10 p.m.
Exhibition runs through Nov. 23
MIAD graduate Kimberly Weiss' organic images of plant and animal life are unsettling and intimate. The work presented here is from a series titled "Tough Knots, Bad Landings" and comprised of mixed media pieces sometimes contained by and sometimes spilling out of their decorative oval frames to create heaving auras of commingling forms. They recall the homely, decorative quality of William Morris textiles invested with uncanny undertones. Joseph Rizzo meanwhile turns his gaze outward, towards the political and social constructs of man. His images combine symbolic motifs, graphic-novel sensibilities and satirical caricatures.
Tory Folliard Gallery
233 N. Milwaukee St.
"Open Lands: A Survey of Contemporary Landscape Paintings"
Reception Oct. 17, 5-9 p.m.
Runs through Nov. 15
Whether it's the pulsating "vibrascapes" of Harold Gregor, Ahzad Bogosian's grassy verges basking under weighty skies or Rodger Bechtold's bold vistas and sun-drenched barns, the 11 artists represented in this exhibition find myriad ways to explore the Midwestern landscape. Robert Cocke and John Sartoro make a gallery debut, the former known for his small acrylic panels of enchanted landscapes and the latter for his energetic brushstrokes that streak and swirl against a canvas as textured as the environment it depicts. Other artists included in the exhibit are Daniel Chafee, Fred Easker, Kathy Hoffman, Keith Jacobshagen, Cathy Morton and James Winn.
Water Buffalo
249 N. Water St.
Eduardo Villanueva
Oct. 17
UWM Grad Eduardo Villanueva, whose colorful murals grace such establishments as Anonna Bistro and the Tory Folliard Gallery, shows 19 piece - including four new pieces – at Water Buffalo, the popular third ward eatery/ art salon starting Oct. 17.
Armoury Gallery
1718 N. First St., 3N3
"In Contour"
Reception Oct. 17, 5 -10 p.m.
Runs through Nov. 15
Through an elaborate process of cutting, pasting and drawing the three artists presented in this show rearrange the world around them and open it to new interpretation. Sonja Peterson's elaborate paper cutouts create an intricate network of positive and negative spaces against boldly painted backgrounds. Paul Kjelland's images, an agglomeration of diverse media and textures, echo the shifting planes of a city in flux. Julia Schilling draws inspiration from topographical maps to create works that explore the means by which we situate ourselves within and navigate our way around the world.
White Whale Collective
835 W. National Ave.
The work of Emiliano Lake-Herrara
Reception 7-11 p.m.
Emiliano Lake-Herrera's colorful, primitivist-style paintings combines the myth and ritual of folkloric history with religious iconography. On opening night his work will be presented in conjunction with a night of spoken word – an apt accompaniment considering theoral traditions that have served to disseminate the folklore his work alludes to. Spoken word artists that will be performing on opening night include Shelly Davis, Dan Vaughn, Darlin' Nikki,Joshua the Scribe, Patrice Downey, Bobby Drake, andRemy 'The Gambit.
UWM Golda Mier Library's Art History Gallery
An Leabhar Mr/ The Great Book of Gaelic
Reception Oct. 17, 5-7 p.m. at the Golda Mier Library 4th Floor Conference Center
Runs through December
The unifying abilities of art and poetry find an engaging
embodiment in An Leabhar Mor/ The Great Book of Gaelic – a contemporary take on
the Book of Kells that celebrates the Gaelic linguistic, mythological,
calligraphic, poetic and visual traditions that unite Ireland and Scotland. The book includes 100 Gaelic
poems dating from the 6th century to today, each of which has been
inscribed upon handmade paper by a team of calligraphers and accompanied by
visual responses to the poetry by contemporary artists from Ireland and Scotland. As well as being part of
a poetic anthology spanning 1500 years of Gaelic culture and history each of
the pages is a work of art in its own right and will be on view through
Portrait Society Gallery
"Rudy Rotter: We are Family"
207 E. Buffalo, Suite 526
Marshall Building, Third Ward
Opening reception Oct. 17, 6 - 9 p.m.
Through Jan. 9
Once again proving its commitment to reevaluating the
"outsider" position proffered to self-taught artists, the Portrait Society
presents the figurative wood carvings and works on paper by Rudy Rotter. One can only imagine the
creative fervor that gripped the Manitowoc
dentist in his late forties, prompting him to create more than 15, 000 pieces
of art and earning him the status of one of the most prolific artists in Wisconsin. In this, the
first gallery show of Rudy's work since his death, viewers have an opportunity
to discern for themselves the thrust behind this frenetic output. Milwaukee artist Michael
Davidson has co-curated the exhibit as well as writing an essay for the catalog
that accompanies the show. Also, "sketch" artists will be on hand to
make portraits of visitors at the opening reception.

Bobbye, The new Juki MO50E with Lay In Tensions is easier to thread and use than the traditional Juki MO600 round tension knobs.
Compare to MO600 Series: Juki MO644D, 654DE, and Juki MO655, all with Juki Electronic Workbook CD
which the MO50E does not have at this time. Also 8 Feet are available for MO600 series now. The 6 Feet for MO50 are not available yet. .
I suppose the only reasons to buy a Juki MO600 is that it is made in the newest Juki factory near Shanghai with the same manufacturing standards as Japan. Plus the MO600 series runs faster at up to 1500SPM Stitches Per Minute while MO50E is rated at 1300SPM. Any increase in speed of sewing machines requires a corresponding increase in the quality of parts, close tolerances and manufacturing superiority. The MO50E is made in an OEM plant in Taiwan, and not made in a Juki owned factory.
So if our customer wants a serger made in a Juki factory, the MO600 series is better made than the MO50E factory, even though they sew the same quality stitches. firstname.lastname@example.com
Great that's what I was wondering. For the style of machine I thought it would sew like the Brother one, which I am far from impressed by. That helps though, I love the Juki quality and never fear telling them how much they will love the quality of the Juki. We have great success with the Juki machines. . Obviously if they are looking for a high end machine this won't do but it is a great machine for the person that was inquiring about the entry level machines. I also can tell them with full confidence that the Juki sergers are by far better sewing then the coveted Babylocks. I tell them all that I have that fancy over priced thread itself serger and it is positioned behind my new Juki serger. Bobbye
Well I am going to use the Juki MO50 sergers in our serger classes then, they start on the 2nd of February unless you would prefer I use one Of the other Juki's. Thanks Bobbye
Allbrands is my first choice in sewing and ironing products because of ease of shopping and rapid shipping. Thank you for being there!

jQuery 1.6.2 has been
released. This
maintenance release includes fixes for attributes in IE, a memory leak,
css() fixes, and a whole slew of other improvements. I was
glad to see this fix for the logic of animation
DropKick (GitHub:
JamieLottering / DropKick,
is a new custom select box plugin. Like other related plugins, this one
hides the original
select element and proxies events and
value changes. It comes with some styles that look nice and modern.
One major issue I've had with similar plugins is the time it takes to
render the custom controls. This is typically very fast until a remote
script or image blocks the loading of the assets required by the
dropdown. I don't see anything that specifically addresses this issue,
but the DropKick demo site
fades in selects when everything is ready. This is preferable to native
selects that suddenly transform into custom ones.
dotjs (GitHub: defunkt /
License) by Chris Wanstrath is a little ruby script for Mac OS and Chrome that loads
JavaScript files from
~/.js.\ Adding\ a\ file\ called\
will load custom JavaScript when viewing google.com.
Each script gets jQuery 1.6 and
~/.js/default.js will
always be loaded if it's available.
This is similar to GreaseMonkey, except it's even easier to write
scripts and test them. I think it's likely that someone might fork the
project and rewrite the Ruby part in Node, just to make sure they can.

" Brand: Topshop / Type: Womens Jacket "
Until very recently, I was the type of person who would do anything to avoid wearing a coat and would instead layer jumpers and cardi's. My grandma is a real sweetie and she kept pestering me just as it started to head into winter last year to let her treat me to a winter coat. I was quite reluctant as I feel that coats can sometimes be quite 'stiff' rather than comfy, however when I came across this one I fell in love!
This is a boyfriend coat, meaning it has a slightly more relaxed fit, it is slightly tailored but is designed to have a slightly oversized, slouchy look meaning it's incredibly stylish and I think it looks lovely when worn open and layered over a thick, patterned jumper. I love the length of the coat as it covers the top half of my legs up, meaning I don't get warm on my top half and cold on my bottom half - it's so snug! Topshop class it as 'thigh length' but i'm 5'3 (and a bit!) and it is pretty much just above knee length on me. Unlike alot of longer coats it doesn't have that 'slit' down the back which I like as that way it keeps the warmth in much better. The material is extremely good quality and even looks very expensive. It's made up of: 41% acrylic, 31% wool, 16% polyester, 11% nylon and 1% cotton. It looks and feels like tweed which is huge this season. It was a little stiff at first but after a few uses it soon became much more comfier and it's so easy to just slip on over a jumper - it looks amazing.
This reminds me of a big, oversized blazer, it feels as a blazer would but is much warmer. The coat has a few features that make it stand out from the rest; firstly it's got three plastic buttons (Topshop call them football buttons) down the front. I know this doesn't sound very exciting but it looks so simplistic and stylish, and they add a bit of character to the coat while still being subtle. Another feature - my favourite, is the collar. The collar is pretty big and goes right down into a V neck, which I like however it does mean I have to layer well if it's cold else my chest will get a bit chilly. I suppose it will be a downside for some that the buttons can't be done up right to the neck but I personally like that it and it makes the coat have a bit more of a unique style. Another little detail is the black sleeve detailing which I do like but i'm not an enormous fan; I would probably prefer it without, however it's not ugly or uncomfortable.
The inside of the coat is linen I think, it's incredibly smooth and silky and I always feel well insulated and wrapped up when i've got it on, the material is nice and thick and when matched with a nice snood and gloves it looks very fashionable, although the 'plain and simple' look is nice too, it really dresses up a pair of simple jeans and boots and the fit is very smart, despite having a slight relaxed, slouchy edge to it.
Colour wise, this has different shades of grey all over it but the predominant shade is dark grey, a very smart and versatile colour which will suit anyone. It sounds quite plain but I think it has a very vintage, indie edge to it and it definetly looks high end and good quality - it doesn't look or feel like a cheapo Primark coat would and it's in perfect condition after almost 3 months of daily wear. You can't wash this unfortunetly but I have had no issues with it getting stained or holding smells or anything like that.
The coat is available in sizes 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16. The sizing in topshop is usually not very generous however I got a size ten and it fits really well. Obviously as I am 8 months pregnant I am not able to button it up at the minute, however the fit is really nice especially on my shoulders; it gives a very smart look even when paired with a simple pair of leggings.
Price wise, there's no doubting that it is slightly expensive at £85, and I doubt I would of bought it if my Grandma hadn't put alot of money towards it, but I do think it is worth it - the lovely, thick material keeps me warm and it looks very smart and fashionable. It's got a feminine edge to it due to the V neck style collar and the two pockets fit plenty in them. The only downside is that it can't be washed, but then again most coats in this style can't be washed so this doesn't effect my overall opinion. I give it 4/5 - I mark it one star down purely because of the price.

i own a top floor flat in a converted house. there is only one flat below me. the garden is separated into two, our section being the part at the back (to access we walk through downstairs garden) we do have a gate at the bottom of our garden which lead to the alleyway.
am i legally allowed to put a padlock on this back gate without letting the tenant below having a spare key? (he is a squatting tenant, not paying rent etc...)
We want to up our security as it's not so safe at the moment and giving him a key isn't an option.
can we get away with this? doe she have any rights to access the back gate?

Scoundrels is a turn based board game for your Windows Phone with a slight role playing game feel to it. You compete against other players to discover treasure before they do.
Along the way you have monsters to deal with and traps to avoid as well as your opponent. Scoundrels is more of a tactical/strategy game than an action game so don't expect a lot of fast paced game play. Scoundrels isn't without appeal but may be more of an acquired taste when it comes to Windows Phone games.

I know that MAC has a handy iActivator to take care of all of the activation steps, but since there is currently no windows equivalent I'm wondering exactly how to activate the iphone through the iphoneinterface.
My Iphone has been jailbreaked and I now have iphoneinterface launched with the command line for 'activate by supplying a plist ready to go.
So my question is: where do i go from here?
How do I find the appropriate plist to supply the iphoneinterface for activation? Maybe this is addressed in a tutorial somewhere else, but I've searched and searched and have found nothing.
THanks for all the help.

I have relied on new look for clothes and jewelery for years. Their products are always good quality for a pretty reasonable price. Recently I was in new look and saw these pair of ankle boots. I have always wanted a pair of slightly heeled ankle boots but have never had the money or courage. I saw these for a reasonable price and decided to buy them right away. The fit of these shoes are very nice they don't feel too tight or too loose.
I made a big mistake however by wearing them for the first time for around 7 hours. These shoes take a little getting used to if you are not used to heels. The only bad thing about these shoes are that they tend to rub on the back of your ankle, especially if you are not wearing socks. This is why I would rate them a 4/5, other than that they look fantastic.
The look of these shoes are a lot more expensive than what they really cost. I like the material of these little boots and think they go well with almost anything. They look really good with skinny jeans or leggings. The gold detailing is really cool too.
These shoes can be worn in the day or at night depending on what you pair them with. I love the look of black ankle boots and this is by far the best looking pair I've come across for a very affordable price which I love.
I love New Look shoes, it's no lie. If I get a pay bonus, it's going straight to New Look on a pair of shoes! Their shoe range is so varied that I never leave without a new pair!
This particular pair of wedges is really lovely & comfortable. They are slightly too high for me personally for day wear, but for the more experienced heel walker, these would probably make a lovely alternative to a pair of day high heels. I would wear these on a night out in a bar or clubbing. I love these shoes to either dress down a pastel dress with a pair of thick black tights & a leather jacket, or can be worn with some jeggings & a long t-shirt. They can literally be worn as part of any look!
As a boot, they feel a bit more sturdy on your feet than most heels. The zip has a bit of liner to protect your foot from any rubbing. There's a slight platform on the underside & curved shape at the toe which is to increase comfort. I am 5'5" and these shoes have quite a bit of height to them, but unlike conventional heels, are still very comfortable to wear after a couple of hours of dancing!
They are a suede like material, so please be careful in the rain or any beer spillage, however as they are black, it does hides most marks!
New Look is one of my favourite high street stores. I think that they do really good fashions for reasonable prices. I like the fact that they also have such a quick turn over of stock so I can treat myself to something new pretty much any time I visit the store as they will have something different in.
I especially like their shoes and think they are really good quality especially as the majority of them aren't very expensive to buy and they seem to last me a decent amount of time even when I end up wearing them a lot.
I picked up these wedges and a few other bits and pieces when New Look sent me a pile of discount vouchers with my account card statement.
I had been looking at them for a while but the size of the heel always put me off slightly. Now normally I am not concerned about a high heel but there was something about these that just looked a little off to me and I was convinced that they weren't going to be comfortable.
I needn't have worried though as when I tried them on they were extremely comfortable to walk in and the wedge gave me extra support and I didn't have any problems with teetering. The front platform part also made the height feel less significant than it might have otherwise.
The heel is only about 3 inches fully at its highest part but for some reason it does look higher than this. When I have them on I also feel like I have got more height than I normally would with a 3 inch heel but I think this is all to do with the design of them.
They are made from a black suede material and this is a lovely dark black and not a grey black and they go really well with my black trousers or my skirt for work. They look quite professional when they are on even though they are also really modern and fashionable looking.
They have a zip on the sides which does make them easy to get on and off and I feel like the zip helps tighten them enough that they don't feel loose on my ankle.
I have quite wide feet and these don't feel tight in the slightest, they also don't pinch my toes which is a relief as these types of wedges are normally too small on the toes and end up hurting when I walk.
The price for these wedge shoes boot is £19.99 which I think is a really great price. As I said before I have bought loads of shoes from New Look and most of the time they last me for ages so they are well worth the money.
I was recently looking for some new ankle boots that I would be able to wear for work as my other pair I have had for 3 years now and they are starting to show signs of wear and tear. All my other ankle boots have high heels and so I only ever wear these for a night out and not for everyday wear.
I came across these ankle boots in New Look 2 weeks ago, they are available in black and tan. It was the tan coloured ones that originally caught my eye and I tried them on straight away. I know these have heels which I was trying to steer away from, but they are only small heels in comparison to the ones I wear for a night out and so I thought I'd be able to walk fine in them without them hurting my feet.
They are easy to put on as they have a zip down the outside of the boots, and unlike other shoes I have owned in the past, these zips are quite good quality and it doesn't take forever to zip them up! They are available in sizes 3 up to 9, however they did not have the tan coloured ones available in my size 5 that day and size 6 was too big. They did have my size available in the black ones though but I did like the tan coloured ones more and so after some consideration I decided to leave it and order the tan ones online.
I looked around some other shops (still thinking about the boots and annoying my boyfriend) when I decided to go back and buy them in black, simply because they would go with more things that I own than the tan ones would anyway. My boyfriend also kindly decided to put my mind at rest by saying if I still wanted the tan ones after he would get me them when he got paid. Therefore I had no choice but to go back and buy the black ones! They are priced at £24.99 which I think is cheap for a pair of boots, but after student discount these only cost me £22.49.
I first wore these when I went out for a pub lunch and I found they were very easy to walk in. After getting used to walking in much higher heels in the past few years it was easy, and I could also drive in these, which I usually find difficult in heels and end up having a pair f flats in my car so I can quickly change into them!
However, the next time I wore them was when I went shopping in Newcastle. After walking around for sometime my feet started to ache. It was still easy to walk in them but I won't be wearing these for a shopping trip again! As I am sitting down for the majority of the time at work though then I can still wear these then without my feet aching and so I can still wear these for the main purpose I bought them for. I think they look very smart when worn with tights and a dress or tunic top, or even with skinny jeans. These ankle boots really stand out when worn with coloured skinny jeans, more so than when worn with black tights. The holes also fit perfectly around my ankles and so if you do wear skinny jeans they will tuck in to the boots easily without coming out.
The material of these is a soft suede feel. I do think they are very versatile and can be worn day or night, I just wouldn't recommend wearing on a big shopping trip like I did! I would also wear these for a night out as they will go with lots of dresses I own, I just don't want to get them scruffy or dirty as I will like these to last some time so I can wear them for work.
I have to confess I am not too great at teeter-tottering around in heels so when I feel it is absolutely necessary in order to look nice, I much prefer wearing wedges. Being a lover of New Look in general, and their affordable footwear (I have about 15 pairs of shoes including heels, flats, boots, sandals etc from New Look alone!) I purchased these wedge ankle boots in black.
The boots are a suede type material, with about a 2 and half inch heel, which is not too high considering the wedge support which makes them much easier to balance and walk about in. They have an outer zip on each foot which allows for ease to put these boots on as opposed to just attempting to slip my feet in. I prefer the zip component as when I do the zip up my feet feel just that bit more snug and comfortable. As I have mentioned before I think I have really skinny ankles so I don't really like footwear that highlight this aspect (trust me there are some that do!) so I like this wedge boot as it comes up high enough to hide my ankle and so also give added ankle support as I need this to be able to walk properly! (The countless times my ankles buckle under my own weight when I have been drinking a few too many lol!)
Size wise, I am generally a size 5 and I find New Look footwear fit just to size so I have these in size 5/ European 38 and they fit perfectly so the fitting is standard. They have a round toe which is a nice shape (as opposed to a more pointy boot) and so I think this boot is quite accommodating to those with wide fitting feet as my feet are slim but wide in the forefront and these fit comfortably and don't pinch.
The material of these boots is a black suede which although probably not genuine leather they don't feel cheap. The material hasn't frayed or started to come off in any way as I'd expect as they are relatively cheap for what they are, as I have seen similar boots in Aldo and Office for £70 +. The soles is quite strong and hasn't worn down although I have only worn these boots on a handful of occasions but as I have had many other New Look boots for years (I don't go out all too often having a 3 year old and all that!) I think these will definitely last a while yet!
I like black heels as they are versatile and can be dressed up or down with various outfits and still work. The look of the boots also is multi purpose as they can be casual with a pair of jeans on a dinner out, or I have worn them with a nice dress to a summer barbecue and I got lots of nice compliments on them!
Price wise, these boots are reasonable only costing £29.99 so I think they are good value and I think they are a great addition to my New Look shoe collection!

It's so appropriate.
Veep star Julia Louis-Dreyfus, 53, is naked on the cover of Rolling Stone, wearing nothing but the US Constitution inked on her back.
In my defense, "I was in a drunken stupor" #crackexcuse http://t.co/Jo0HgFtpho cc: @RollingStone pic.twitter.com/f7SFgCsHBO — Julia Louis-Dreyfus (@OfficialJLD)
April 8, 2014
"In my defense, 'I was in a drunken stupor,' " the actress tweeted as she unveiled the cheeky photo.
Her hit HBO series kicked off its third season on Sunday, and Louis-Dreyfus talks to the magazine about her success in showbiz, from Seinfeld to The New Adventures of Old Christine to Veep. And that's only some of her TV work.
Louis-Dreyfus says that while sexism is alive and well in Hollywood, she fights it.
"There is sexism -- I'm not denying its existence," she says. "But I'm saying that I will deny its effort against me. I just pay it no nevermind and say, 'Get out of my way.' "
And as part of her current gig, she recently had dinner with real veep Joe Biden.
"He loves to tell stories, and I'm a good listener," she said. "I loved that dinner. There was no cynicism, just a very earnest jubilation about being there."
Los Angeles Times' columnist Christie D'Zurilla writes Louis-Dreyfus looks "fantastic in the nude ... even if the faux-tattoo on her back is historically inaccurate".
Louis-Dreyfus' back shows part of the US Constitution signed by John Hancock, who famously autographed the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution.
The mistake was quickly picked up on Twitter and even Louis-Dreyfus acknowledged the gaffe, tweeting: "Hancock signed Dec. of Independence NOT Constitution. Yet another Mike f--- up. Dummy," she joked.
Mike McLintock (played by actor Matt Walsh) is Veep's hapless public-relations advisor to Louis-Dreyfus' character Vice President Selina Meyer.
A spokeswoman for Rolling Stone's publisher told the New York Daily News: "The Declaration of Independence is on the other side, but we couldn't fit in all the signatures."
D'Zurrilla applauded the cover and found the "photographic faux-up" fitted in perfectly with Louis-Drefus' potty-mouthed character.
"Once, when we were trying to come up with the particular perfect, horrible, swear-y thing to say in Veep, I said, 'You do realize that if we were 12, we would get in big trouble for this conversation,'" Louis-Drefus told the magazine. "That was not part of the curriculum in high school, and the fact that it is now a part of the curriculum of my life is a pleasure, which is the understatement of the universe."
The magazine has yet to hit newsstands in the United States.
Show of the week: Veep
Veep has returned in vibrant style, the air crackling with hostility, panic and colourful insults as US vice-president Selina Meyer (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) and her team prepare for the biggest challenge of all - another run at the White House. The president has decided not to run for a second term but has yet to make the announcement, which leaves Selina desperately trying to outposition other prospective presidential candidates without giving the game away.

Sound Ordnance™ M-1500
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
This a good amp for the money and it puts out good power and sound.
Pros: It does good for the price.
Cons: It is a little large for a 500 watt amp and it will definitely need good airflow. When playing bass heavy songs this amp gets extremely hot. It won't go into protection mode but it will start to smell like it's about to catch on fire. When it does this I will stop and feel and it is so hot to the touch it could actually burn you after a second or two. Voltage is good and so is the ground. Really when you're trying to listen to music but you're too worried about it turning into a flamethrower

A Pair of Motorcycle Accidents Over 4th of July Weekend Highlight The Dangers of Riding
July 9th, 2013
Racing or driving at high speeds on a motorcycle can be dangerous, particularly at times when visibility is low. Two motorcyclists may have learned this lesson the hard way this July 4th weekend. Both were killed in two separate incidents in the early morning hours of July 5th in Houston in incidents involving riding at high speeds.
A 32 year-old was killed while riding his black Kawasaki motorcycle at about 2:00 a.m. at or near the 5000 block of the West Loop South (Highway 610). He had been traveling on Highway 59 and exited the West Loop ramp when he struck the concrete barrier at a high rate of speed and flew over the barrier onto the ground below the elevated highway. He was pronounced dead on the scene.
The second happened around 4:00 a.m. at the 7000 block of Bennington, when a black Harley-Davidson struck a curb at a high rate of speed. The bike was launched into a fence and landed about 40 feet away with the driver crashing behind the bike. The 52 year-old unidentified rider was found by passersby and later pronounced dead at LBJ hospital.
These motorcycle accidents show the risks and dangers of riding motorcycles at high speeds on Houston roadways. There is no telling whether these riders were cut-off by other vehicles or just lost control on their own. Its hard enough to see motorcycles, much less, black ones speeding through the dark. Please be careful and aware of your vulnerability if you ride in Houston traffic.

Project DescriptionBuilder's Choice and Custom Home Awards Finalist
The Rejuvenation Room plays roles in both design and function of the home. Sitting at the end of a long linear water trough, this floating room provides an escape from the rest of the home as well as a visual terminus of the main axis from the entrance. A suitable place for meditation, yoga, or even a massage, The Rejuvenation Room is a sanctuary that serves as the ultimate destination for any person in the home.
Nestled between two zero-edge pools this sunken living room is just one of many outdoor retreats throughout
the home. Sitting down in this space brings you to a personal level with the surface of both pools. Looking one way you see back into the home, the other way gives you a clear view onto the golf course that the home overlooks. Water trickles over both edges and drains into a black pebbles and lush vegetation is planted all around to invoke a serene and tranquil experience. No matter the time or day, the water reflects the colors of the desert sky or the surrounding settings to give the ultimate Zen experience.
Architecture and design merge as one in regard to the kitchen and great room. Windows and pocket doors
shape the space giving this area extensive views and connections to outdoor spaces. The kitchen is convenient and functional with top of the line appliances, more than enough counter space, and plenty of storage. The comfort of the great room is drawn into the kitchen as the TV and fireplace mantle draw long, linear lines into the kitchen, completing this unified experience of architecture and design.

The Bundestag, Germany's lower house of parliament, is exploring whether to ditch Microsoft Corp.'s Windows in favor of the open-source Linux operating system, partly due to security concerns.
A parliamentary committee is due to decide late this year or early in 2002 which operating system to use once it's time to replace Windows NT, the software currently in use on Bundestag machines, said Volker Schroer, an adviser to the Social Democratic party faction in the Bundestag.
"The basic problem is that Microsoft is ending its support for NT at the end of 2002; you can continue to use it for a while, but then you have to upgrade or switch," he said.
The only options under consideration are another Windows version, or Linux, he added.
The committee is examining whether switching the Bundestag's more than 5,000 computers to open source would improve stability and security, as well as save money, Schroer said. By the committee's estimate, implementing open source software throughout the federal government could result in savings of 250 million marks (US$116 million).
Among the arguments in favor of Linux: reports that some versions of Windows contain backdoors designed to grant the U.S. National Security Agency access to users' data.
"That is one of a number of small pieces of the picture, but it's not what set off the considerations," said Schroer. "Of course since (terrorist attacks on the U.S.) Sept. 11 we have to think more closely about security."
A concern about backdoors was cited in media reports earlier this year which said the German military was eliminating Microsoft software from "sensitive" computers -- reports later denied by the Defense Ministry.
The Bundestag, in Berlin, can be reached at +49-30/227-0 or at http://www.bundestag.de/. Microsoft, in Redmond, Washington, is at +1-425-882-8080 or http://www.microsoft.com/.

Step by step, Susanne Kaufmann has expanded, transformed and rebuilt Hotel Post together with her brother, architect Oscar Leo Kaufmann. Old parts were preserved and new elements carefully added. The outcome is clear, purist design and a rigorous reduction to the essential. The hotel architecture fits seamlessly into the Bregenzerwald landscape.
Architecture: Kaufmann 96 GmbH
The old, reconstructed Bregenzerwald house and the new, state-of-theart hotel tract with its spacious spa blend into an appealing and harmonious whole. The rooms are pervaded by light, air and a sense of ease. Traditional materials set the tone. In 2009, Sonne Lifestyle Resort won the Vorarlberg Timber Construction Award for this successful match of trad and mod.
Architecture: Bernd Frick, Richard Winkel
A cosy design hotel in the Alps. Walliserhof in the Brandnertal valley is a dream made true by Raimund Meyer und Michaela Berthold, a dream they are now sharing with their guests. With Walliserhof, the young hosting family have shown how to blend natural genuineness and
sumptuous modernity.
Architecture: Arno Bereiter
Tradition meets modernity. The tradition-steeped property has been adapted with architectural sensitivity to modern-day needs and now blends traditional values with new visions. The idea was to take inspiration in the building's history without compromising on sophisticated levels of well-being. There is a distinctly authentic and original flair to the hotel that every guest will readily experience.
Architecture: Atelier Rainer & Amann
Wind down and leave your daily worries behind. Holidays at their best, both in summer and in winter, in the Lechtal Alps. The elegant Walser build ing combines modern-day amenities and old-world charm and bids visitors a heartfelt welcome. Its highlights are the Red Spa with a 1,500 sq.m. sauna complex, a 32°C outdoor pool, the Red Beauty, and the Red Kids. The acclaimed 2-toque restaurant promises a divine culinary experience.
Architecture: Dietrich Untertrifaller
The innovative Hotel Mondschein in Stuben am Arlberg stands out for an authentic ambience and innovative charm. All living areas have been redesigned in modern alpine style and equipped to the highest standards. The building is a shining example that awareness and sustainability need not mean sacrificing modern-day amenities, let alone, frugality. This is borne out by several awards the hotel has won for its commitment to ecology, energy saving and sustainability. Green Lifestyle is the new thinking...
Design: Arch. Mag. Albin Arzberger
In tune with the hotel's health philosophy, committed to the spirit of the times and bound by tradition, the construction, all timber, stone and glass, fits seamlessly into its surroundings. Its clarity of form, light-flooded atmosphere, exquisite materials, and dazzling views of Lake Constance are a delight for the senses and promote health and wellbeing.
Architecture: Mag. Thomas Hämmerle
The art of living – hospitality meets design. Austria's first architecture hotel. 4-star architecture, conference and business hotel in the centre of Dornbirn, close to Germany, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. The hotel is setting trends by using simple and natural materials and integrating modern art. In the award-winning "Im Ersten" restaurant, guests will be treated to regional delicacies.
Architecture: Baumschlager & Eberle
A perfect symbiosis of trad and mod. Reopened in 2010, the hotel is supremely located on Lake Constance. Built 100 years ago as a hotel, the building was later used as army barracks. Subdued colours, highgrade materials and plenty of light: each room and each suite is a tribute to Lake Constance. The bath house in the midst of the lake is a showcase of Vorarlberg timber architecture.
Architektur: Lang + Schwärzler Architekturbüro
The hosting family is uncompromising when it comes to sustainability. This philosophy has inspired virtually all areas, the contemporary timber architecture, close cooperation with Bregenzerwald craftspeople, the use of local materials and ingredients, or energy efficiency. With its refined simplicity, the hotel has a feel of airiness and transparence.
Architecture: Büro Oskar-Leo Kaufmann and Albert Rüf
