text: So I'm thinking of doing Katara's Fire Nation outfit for a cosplay, and I'd really like to have the tan/dark skin to go along with it. The problem is, I myself don't naturally tan so I can't just sit out in the sun for a few days before the con. Anyone have suggestions? I thought spray-on or rub-on would work, but I don't know which ones actually make you look tanned and which ones just turn you neon-orange.

Have Parenting Questions? Ask a Parenting Counselor for Answers
Seeking expert testimony is a sign of strength. A personal relationship with a caring professional is proven clinically effective.
Dear friend,
I believe that I can help.
This is most frustrating to you and destructive to your relationship.
If you stop caring and trying then you will be disengaging from the relationship.
When you say 'remove yourself from this toxic cycle', how far are you willing t go?
The boy is part of your new family and if you cannot be on the same page with his mother then your relationship will continue to suffer more and more, in my estimation.
At the very least the boy should be assessed by a child psychologist to see if he has any developmental or learning disabilities, and if there is an organic basis to them, or if they are just due to the emotional trauma he has suffered over the years.
The father is acting out of guilt by doing so much for him, and is further handicapping him and keeping him from maturing.
You must try to get more of a serious response from your partner. Perhaps taking a small break might give her some time to think.
You started to type. What are your thoughts?
How can I go about convincing his father that his son needs a father and not a friend, and that it is important that we provide him with the guidance and structure and responsibilities that he needs? I concur with your assessment, and have tried to explain in every manner I can conceive how important these years of adolescence are. I am willing to remove myself completely, as I care very deeply for this young man, despite his resentment for me, and feel it will be an never ending frustration and possibly, later, a danger to my well being and safety. (I read the news a lot.)
Ummm... (small correction) It is the father that does not agree.
Having the desire and intelligence and good will to communicate does not guarantee anything.
It is not he that you must convince, because he is only tangential to your life, but your partner who must understand and intervene.
I agree. Sorry, by him, I meant the father.
She can take the boy for assessment, and she can enforce changes it she can show that the father is harming the sum.
Or you can exert leverage by taking leave of the situation, as this seems to be the most influence you can wield.
This is a difference of major principles and you cannot seem to prevent this by yourself. You are correct in your understanding of this situation, but truth without the power to bring it into the light and into action, is not perceived that way and your good intentions are seen as meddling.
I suppose I already knew the answer, Elliot. I imagine I just needed validation. Thank you for your time and your advice. I wish there were other alternatives, but I have to think about the effects this will have on me. I will rate you positively. Have a great weekend.
I shall keep you in my prayers. Thank you so much.

Manipulating Sound Files *
*Note: This is an abbreviated Project Idea, without notes to start your background research, a specific list of materials, or a procedure for how to do the experiment. You can identify abbreviated Project Ideas by the asterisk at the end of the title. If you want a Project Idea with full instructions, please pick one without an asterisk.
AbstractLearn how to edit sound files so that you can manipulate the recorded sound mathematically. You can either find specialized audio editing software or do background research to teach yourself about sound file structure so that you can write your own simple program to manipulate sound files. Try arithmetic operations on the sound values (e.g., adding or subtracting a constant, multiplying or dividing by a constant). How do these operations alter the sound? Try other mathematical operations: add or subtract two sounds, take the sine of a sound, think of other operations you can try.

It was all about Peyton Manning last week when he enjoyed a masterful debut as a Denver Bronco in a 31-19 home win over Pittsburgh.
Manning's comeback overshadowed a strong performance by a Denver defense that continues to improve. But we need to keep on an eye on Denver's defense. If this unit is as timely and as aggressive throughout the season as it was last week and Manning stays hot, the Broncos could be a team to watch deep into the postseason.
The Denver defense will get a good test on ESPN's "Monday Night Football" at Atlanta in Week 2. The Falcons' offense was potent in a 40-24 win at Kansas City. Here are five keys for the Denver defense in this game:
1. Von Miller: We recently examined what it would take for the second-year linebacker to become a complete player. After one game in 2012, it seems like the 2011 NFL defensive rookie of the year is well on his way to becoming the total package. If Miller plays Monday night the way he played against the Steelers, Denver will be in good shape. Miller had two sacks, and he was all over the field all the time. Miller's performance was the buzz in the press box in Oakland on Monday night before I covered the Chargers-Raiders game. People in the AFC West are worried about how good Miller is becoming.
2. The new guys: I was struck last week by the terrific play of several additions to the defense. Denver went from being the No. 32-ranked defense in the NFL in 2010 to the No. 20-ranked team. The front office felt the need to continue to improve in the offseason and made some nice upgrades, which showed in Week 1. The new players who stood out last week were rookie defensive end Derek Wolfe and free-agent pickups cornerback Tracy Porter and safety Mike Adams. All three appear to be difference-makers. And they will be vital against the dangerous Falcons.
3. Create turnovers: The Broncos' defense needs to strike again this week. A 43-yard interception return for a touchdown by Porter sealed the win last week. Atlanta is going to do its damage, but if Denver can come up with some turnovers and another score, it can pull off the upset. Atlanta QB Matt Ryan has to be rattled and kept honest or he will pick apart any defense, as he did last week against the Chiefs.
4. Get off the field on third down: The Steelers were 11-of-19 on third-down conversions last week, and Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger connected on some big plays on third down. It was one of the reasons the Steelers were leading in the second half and why they held the ball for virtually a whole quarter. Denver has to shut down Ryan on third down better than it did Roethlisberger.
5. Contain Tony Gonzalez: Pittsburgh tight end Heath Miller made an impact last week -- he had four catches for 50 yards. It seemed as though Pittsburgh thought it could exploit Denver's defense on tight end routes. Expect the Falcons to try to get the ball in the hands of the still-potent Gonzalez often. Gonzalez was a longtime Broncos killer with Kansas City, where he spent his first 12 NFL seasons. Asked about Gonzalez this week, Denver cornerback Champ Bailey said this with a laugh: "I'm so tired of this guy. He never stops. He creates so many problems because he's so savvy, and his experience, it shows every week." Denver has to do everything it can to prevent Gonzalez from taking over.

Florida Tech senior left-handed pitcher Jonathan Cornelius was taken in the 24th round of the MLB first-year player draft by the St. Louis Cardinals with pick No. 740.
The 6-foot, 200-pound Cornelius is a 2006 graduate of Land O'Lakes High.
As a senior at Florida Tech, Cornelius went 8-1 with a 2.39 ERA in 15 appearances. The Southpaw struck out a NCAA Division II-best 129 batters in 98 innings. That mark was a single-season Florida Tech school record for strikeouts
In 2010, Cornelius went 8-4 with a 4.17 ERA and led the Panthers with 95 strikeouts. As a sophomore, Cornelius led all Florida Tech pitchers with a 2.19 ERA.
At Land O'Lakes, Cornelius went 6-3 both as a junior and a senior for head coach Calvin Baisley's Gators.

The Pitt gymnastics squad travels to New Hampshire for a Saturday afternoon meet with the Wildcats at 4 p.m. in Durham, N.H., at Lundholm Gymnasium.
"This week as we were training for our dual at New Hampshire I saw the confidence beginning to return that we were displaying in December," said Pitt head coach Debbie Yohman. "Our performance in our opener was certainly not indicative of the potential on this team, but we've got to prove it out on the floor. And hopefully that point was made in every practice this week. We can choose to go into UNH and succeed with what we've been training, or not. I think one of my freshmen said it best, 'we need to be mentally tougher!'"
Both teams are looking to rebound this weekend after a Pitt loss on the road at Maryland, and a home loss to Penn State for New Hampshire. The Wildcats are 1-1 on the season with an EAGL victory over Rutgers to begin the season (191.05-189.575) and a loss (196.125-194.250) to No. 13-ranked Penn State last weekend.
Pitt competed in their first meet of the season last Saturday night on the road at Maryland. The Panthers fell 193.850-189.650 despite senior Alicia Talucci's 9.725 on the balance beam that won her the title. Sophomore Brittney Harris earned the all-around title with a 36.825 on the night.
The last time Pitt and UNH met in the regular season resulted in a 193.750-192.650 loss on Jan. 23, 2011 at home. Pitt will return home for its home opener on Friday, Jan. 27 against Ohio State at Fitzgerald Field House at 7 p.m.

A Tax-Cut Tonic
President Bush's plan to cut the top marginal income tax rate from 39.6% to 33% would aid small-business growth, implies a National Bureau of Economic Research study. In the study, researchers Robert Carroll, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, Mark Rider, and Harvey S. Rosen analyzed tax-return data to learn how the drop in income-tax rates in the Tax Reform Act of 1986 affected the revenues of sole proprietorships -- unincorporated businesses owned by single individuals.
Controlling for a number of factors, including any shifts in the tendency to evade taxes by hiding income, the researchers found that the cut in marginal rates substantially boosted proprietors' gross incomes. According to their calculations, on average each 10% increase in a proprietor's aftertax share of profits raised his or her business revenues by about 8.4% between 1985 and 1988. For someone whose marginal tax rate fell from 50% to 33%, that amounts to a huge 28% increase in gross receipts.
To be sure, the study focused only on the receipts of businesses that survived in 1988, and small businesses have notoriously high failure rates. But the researchers also found that the shift in marginal taxes had little impact on survivorship rates. The study underscores the large role sole proprietors play in the economy. In 1985, their gross receipts represented some 20% of total U.S. domestic business revenues.

Taylor, Mark & Preston, Julieanna (2006) Proximities. In Taylor, Mark & Preston, Julieanna (Eds.) Intimus : interior design theory reader. John Wiley and Sons, Inc, United Kingdom, Chichester, pp. 6-13.
The collection of texts contained in this volume stem from a proposition that as an emerging discipline interior design draws from a body of theory specific to its creative practice. Initial informal surveys of interior design/ interior architecture and spatial arts university programmes revealed that not only do approaches, outlooks and pedagogical philosophy differ, but also the scope of theoretical texts rarely repeat or identify a distinct set of readings. Feedback we received from respondents indicated that most interior design programmes identify theoretical sources that span across several disciplines, that is, material from cultural geography, sociology, anthropology, philosophy and gender studies etc. The material offers positions and insights that operate beyond architectural canons and interior design's marginalisation within that discourse. This is not to suggest the interior as an inside is possible without architectural context or another form of enframing, particularly as Elizabeth Grosz has discussed the impossibility of having an inside without some form of demarcation that distinguishes the outer from the inner. Our search for theory related to the specifics of inhabitation and bodily presence confirms, the interior and its design constitute a wider field of cultural production.

I recall #webkit scrollback to the effect that their implementation wasn't as simple as the rule addition made here, for reasons of perf considerations of checking for an attribute on every element during style resolution. (I think that's the term I want, somebody tell me if I'm mistaken.) Do we not have to worry about this method of implementation having performance impact?
Comment 5•

Uh, right. Need to check how this affects to performance.

> Do we not have to worry about this method of implementation having performance
> impact?
We do, in general. Not sure how much it would show up in practice so far, but as we optimize more and more it could become noticeable....
It's worth looking at how the webkit folks implemented theirs.
What do we do when we check for matches to the :lang() pseudo-class, for example?
I'm not sure I follow the question in comment 7.... Also note that we already have [dir] rules in html.css. :( This would be no worse....
Since the :lang pseudo-class requires a check of the "lang" attribute on every element, I wondered how we handled that, since it might help us in this bug.
We check the lang attribute. The :lang pseudo-class is rarely used. This patch, however, would have the [hidden] check for all HTML elements.
And again, it may be that the concern is not important. Can we get some numbers here (using a stylesheet with such a rule in it, say)? What did webkit end up doing?

Thanks. We could do that sort of thing, though our mapped attr code is more similar to our style resolution code (involves attr gets during resolution time). But it would only happen for elements with mapped attributes... If we want to do that, you'd want to add it to nsGenericHTMLElement::sCommonAttributeMap and change nsGenericHTMLElement::MapCommonAttributesInto. It's worth getting numbers on the performance impact before resorting to the complicated way, seems like.
Comment 14•
7 years ago
Using the attribute mapping code isn't all that complicated, and I think it's also more consistent with other code. And I suspect there would be a big perf impact from changing everything from the attribute mapping code to being written in CSS. There's also the question of whether this belongs at the preshint or UA level of the cascade.
That had crossed my mind, but I think putting it in preshint for the time being is fine.
Comment on attachment 451887 [details] [diff] [review] Patch v1.2, merged to tip dbaron says that it would be more performant to implement this using nsGenericHTMLElement::MapCommonAttributesInto/nsGenericHTMLElement::sCommonAttributeMap. Check it to that and ask me for review. Would be great to have this in Firefox 4.

Er, right, it does. I forgot about that because I was looking at the lang case above, which is the exception. It should probably look like: if (aData->mSIDs & NS_STYLE_INHERIT_BIT(Display)) { nsRuleDataDisplay *disp = aData->mDisplayData; if (disp->mDisplay.GetUnit() == eCSSUnit_Null) { if (aAttributes->IndexOfAttr(nsGkAtoms::hidden, kNameSpaceID_None) >= 0) { disp->mDisplay.SetIntValue(NS_STYLE_DISPLAY_NONE, eCSSUnit_Enumerated); } } }

Running Firefox 4 RC, the hidden attribute hides elements on a page with XHTML transitional doctype (i.e not HTML5)? Is this correct?

(In reply to comment #32) > Running Firefox 4 RC, the hidden attribute hides elements on a page with XHTML > transitional doctype (i.e not HTML5)? Is this correct? Yes. We're not IE, we implement everything in all modes, unless there's a good reason not to. This is what the HTML specification requires. If you want to use non-standard attributes, please use the data-* attributes; in that case you're sure we'll never do something with them.

I didn't realise that changes like this impacted on previous html versions. I realised after making my post that if I don't fix this now I'd have to do it if we changed to HTML5 anyway, so have addressed the issue. Thanks for the prompt reply.
> I didn't realise that changes like this impacted on previous html versions.
The point is we only implement one version of HTML. We ignore the doctype completely, except for deciding on standards or quirks mode...

Meet Todd, the handsome stay-at-home dad dubbed "The Prom King" by the moms at the playground, and his wife, Kathy, a documentary filmmaker envious of the connection Todd has forged with their toddler son. And there's Sarah, a lapsed feminist surprised to find she's become a typical wife in a traditional marriage, and her husband, Richard, who is becoming more and more involved with an internet fantasy life than with his own wife and child. And then there's Mary Ann, who has life all figured out, down to a scheduled roll in the hay with her husband every Tuesday at nine P.M.
They all raise their kids in the kind of quiet suburb where nothing ever seems to happen—until one eventful summer, when a convicted child molester moves back to town, and two parents begin an affair that goes further than either of them could ever have imagined.
Now a major motion picture.

"These are the times that try men's souls." With these words, Thomas Paine began a series of 13 extraordinary pamphlets reporting on the American Revolution. Part newsfeed, part op-ed, these pieces were widely circulated in the States and in Britain during the war. They reported on the progress of the war, argued for the reasons for the war, made recommendations on the conduct of the war, and taught citizens of a new country just what their obligations and duties were in support of their new country. A sobering series of lessons on beginning American civics 101.

"Too much Common sense"
After listening to this for an hour; you're ready for some stupidity. History is dealt out in the form of letters to King George or his Generals. Pointing out their failings and ignorance. However a little of this venue goes a long way and is soon boring. Common Sense was originally dealt out in small portions in the form of a pamphlet and was quite popular for it's wisdom and wit.

B2B Marketing Measurement Needs To Sharpen Its Business Acumen
Posted by Laura Ramos on September 3, 2013
"Marketing measures its performance to prove its value, not to improve it."
Let's face it -- marketing is often accused of poorly demonstrating it impact on the business in terms that business executives understand and appreciate. Even though advances in marketing automation and digital channels make it easier to track activity and results, this reputation persists and keeps many B2B CMOs from commanding a strategic seat at the leadership table.
Yet B2B CMOs can't continue to rely on measures like brand awareness, trade show scans, or website traffic to demonstrate the benefit their departments deliver. Those who do will be shown to the door as CEOs and CFOs raise the bar on accountability -- and getting the right attention here is a substantial challenge when so few execs rely on marketing data in their decision making (see figure to the right.)
In May, Forrester teamed up with the IT Services Marketing Association (ITSMA) and VisionEdge Marketing (VEM) to survey marketing leaders about how they demonstrate marketing's impact on the business. About a week ago I (finally) published Forrester's take on this important survey (subscription required).
Key among the findings: marketing leadership continues to use metrics to report on performance and justify budgets. But far fewer use data and analytics to analyze purchase patterns, fine tune the mix, and understand customer lifetime value - actions that can have a bigger impact on overall performance. The bottomline here is that marketing's impact doesn't matter if CMOs fail to link what they do to business goals.
To help CMOs shift their measurement perspective from outputs to outcomes and to put a sharper focus on business agility, I recommend four key actions to take:
1) Clarify which outcomes the business wants. CMOs should answer three key questions about every activity or program that marketing reports to executive management: i) Which business outcome(s) will it affect? ii) How exactly will it affect the business? iii) How will we know we have achieved the objectives? Answering these questions keeps marketing performance management focused on improving the value of marketing, not just proving it.
2) Go beyond ROMI to expose the full scope of marketing's influence. Marketing automation systems make it easy to collect data but B2B CMOs need look beyond leads to include preference, loyalty, market share, and brand sentiment to show marketing's full impact on the direction and health of the business.
3) Model and monitor customer lifetime value. Think through the processes and tools you need to help your firm understand what makes customers valuable in the long run. Then shift some 2014 marketing budget to focus on communicating targeted messages and offers to prospects that closely fit this profile.
4) Measure existing customer value as well. Take a look at what happens in buyers' journeys after the deal closes and focus account-specific communications on onboarding success, getting up to speed quickly, and upsell opportunities to demonstrate how marketing can improve renewals, share of wallet, and penetration.
Take a look at the report and let me know about the challenges you face when showing why marketing is the next frontier for shaping business productivity.
Nice post Laura The key area
Comment from Ramesh Ramakrishnan (not verified) on Wed, 09/18/2013 - 17:48
Nice post Laura
The key area of focus being 'demonstrating the business impact', how many marketer have the opportunity or create one in order to experience ' a day in the life of a business executive'.
In my previous role as Head of Marketing, Analyst relations and Sourcing Advisory I had the opportunity to meet influencers and also take customer/prospect meetings. This was an eye opener. Once a marketer does this, the approach to point 1 above- clarify which outcomes the business wants' will look so different.
I can understand that not all marketers will have an opportunity to doma client facing role, but this is an area where marketing department and the business needs to work together to create assets where marketers can get a deeper understanding of the bottlenecks within the path of the business executives that marketers can iron out. Many times people focus on through put, but once they know the bottlenecks, they can improve conversion and also business impact.
Marketing has a key role to play both in top and bottom line contribution, also inside the company as well as outside the company and marketing is no longer an isolated (department) function, its an enterprise wide function.

General manager of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) Michael Akindele told Xinhua on Wednesday that seven more bodies were recovered from the rubble during rescue operation.
Thirteen other people were rescued during the operation, he said.
The building which was under construction in Lekki-Phase 1 area of the state, collapsed during a heavy rainfall, according to Ibrahim Farinloye, spokesman of the National Emergency Management Agency in Nigeria's southwest region.
Meanwhile, the police in Lagos have arrested the contractor handling the construction project, said spokeswoman of the state police command, Dolapo Badmus.
She said the contractor, identified as Taiwo Odofin, was currently under investigation.
Building collapses are not rare in Nigeria, often because of poor construction practices. More than 100 people were killed in building collapses across Nigeria last year, according to official data. Enditem

Big Story
Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Television' started by guillamo, Mar 26, 2011.
It wasn't an awful movie. It wasn't a very good movie, though.
It would have been a better movie if:
1. It didn't have Shia LaBeauf (sp?)
2. It weren't written by George Lucas
3. It didn't have aliens.
Maybe I'm getting old but I just found that movie so boring. Stupid stupid stupid action sequences stacked one after another until we reach an utterly unsatisfying resolution more CGI and blah. Yuck.
I would rather that the movie have been actually like painfully crazy or awful in some way, what we got was just something so bland I couldn't care about a single moment of it. Gosh I wonder if this kid is Indy's kid. Gosh I wonder if Indy and the kid and the mom are going to have a happy ending. Gosh I wonder if there will be a bunch of ridiculous nonsense between now and that happening. It just seemed like a mad libs movie where the word "nazi" was replaced in the script by the word "communist" and the word "ark" was replaced by the word "alien skull."
Have you ever considered the possibility that we do listen to you, but we're just screwing with you because it's fun?
If we were doing that, and that's a big IF, then telling him would kind of defeat the purpose. So it's a good thing we're not doing that, right Randy?
Geez you'd make a horrible magician.
Die Hard 5 - Way better than Die Hard 4 at least. 6.5/10.
Sounds about right. Also, here's a chocolate Bruce Willis:
1. I actually liked Die Hard 4
2. Everywhere I look is giving Die Hard 5 horrible reviews.
I'm waiting for home release on this one.
If you liked Die Hard 4 you are a crazy person.
I want a non crazy person to tell me that before I believe it.
Live Free or Die Hard -- 81% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes
A Good Day to Die Hard -- 13% rotten on Rotten Tomatoes
I wouldn't worry when DB questions your movie-related sanity if I were you, Guill.
Looks like 81% of critics are CRAZY!
Holy crap, Peter Dinklage is going to be in X-Men: Days of Future Past!
I guess I forgot Alpha Flight was involved in that storyline
I thought Live Free or Die Hard was passable. I suspect DB still holds a grudge against because it was neutered to PG-13, therefore is automatically the worst in the series regardless of actual quality level. I have almost no interest in A Good Day to Die Hard. The terrible reviews aren't helping matters, but the fact that the studio thought they could get by with tiny teaser trailers showing Bruce Willis and the movie's title and telling me nothing else about the movie other than "It takes place in Russia" is what mostly put me off. The laziness of the marketing makes me suspicious that they've got nothing of value to entice their audience other than the franchise itself.
It's all the computer shit they got wrong. i.e. ALL OF IT!!!
I don't remember much of the computer stuff from that movie. Actually, I don't remember all that much about it, period. It wasn't very memorable. But now that you mention it, I do remember the computer stuff being laughable.
As opposed to Person of Interest?
Anyway, I liked Live Free or Die Hard, but I got the R-cut of the film when they put it on DVD. None of that PG-13 crap.
The problem with the rated R version is that they changed one of his best lines. The one after he takes out the helicopter.
The Amazing Spider-Man - 8/10
The Avengers - 8.5/10
Most shows and movies get computer stuff wrong. I really don't care about that. I realize there should be an attention to detail but most action films lack that overall anyway so it's not a deal breaker for me.
Die Hard 4 had some really great action, that's what matters. And it had Timothy Olyphant.
John McClane vs computer hackers is a bad idea and should never have happened. The only thing good about it is Maggie Q which is the only reason I'm even being nice and giving it a 2. It'd be a 1 otherwise.
best to worst:
Die Hard
Die Hard 2
Live Free or Die Hard
Die Hard: With a Vengeance
you're a crazy person.
Your face is a crazy person.
That is the correct answer. A+.
DB continues to shore up my belief that he and I are diametrically opposed when it comes to taste in movies.
I feel like I'm living in Bizarroworld.
Correct order.
Die Hard
Die Hard With a Vengeance
Die Hard 2
A Good Day To Die Hard
Live Free or Die Hard
Any other answer is wrong.
You am Bizarro.
Except if you have a brain. Then Guill's is the proper response.
'But I don't want to go among mad people,' DarthBrian remarked.
'Oh, you can't help that,' said the Buddydave: 'we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'
'How do you know I'm mad?' said DarthBrian.
'You must be,' said the Buddydave, 'or you wouldn't have come here.'
Die Hard With a Vengeance is objectively better than Die Hard 2. I think they did some tests on that at CERN; it checked out.
You didn't see any of these movies until sometime last year, so you're disqualified from having an opinion on the matter.
Like five years ago. Pft.
Die Hard 2 wasn't bad or anything, but it wasn't as good as the third one.
I haven't seen the last two.
You also have notoriously bad tastes, so there's that.
hold on a sec, I need to get more straw. brb.
Committee of Eternally Ridiculous Numbskulls?
Paranorman - Really a lot of fun and a wonderful gift to horror-loving fathers of small children. Does a great job of balancing fear and humor. Very solid 3D. Mindy and I give it a 8/10
I liked paranorman a lot until it got overly preachy. Kind of a weak ending too.
Melancholia - Only skimmed it really. Watched about an hour's worth. Interesting. Depressing.
When Lars Trier says that depressives remain calm in a crisis that sort of worries me. That is trait I strongly associate with myself as well.
I loved Melancholia
Dredd 3D - Great action and great fun. Good 3D. Would love a sequel. 8/10
Sequel will probably never happen as it did not do well at the box office (did great in the UK, horrible everywhere else).
It's way, way better than the Sylverster Stallone abomination. I liked it quite a bit. The 3D seemed really cheesy but I thought perhaps that was intentional here.
Skimmed the past few pages of this thread.
Die hard with a vengeance is better than Die hard 2
Dredd may have a chance at a sequel because it's kicking ass in dvd sales
Just saw silver linings playbook...Really like it, thought it lost it's way a little after half way for a little but great performances. 8.5/10
I should ask people to rank the Die Hard movies before reading their reviews of movies. Then I'll immediately know when to discount opinions like yours.
Hell, I'll say it, too. Die Hard With a Vengeance is better than Die Harder.
Is Die Hard with a Vengeance the one with the apple guy? I skipped that one.
No that's Live Free or Die Hard.
Die Hard with a Vengeance is with Samuel L. Jackson and Jeremy Irons.
Oh. Hmm. Yeah I don't think that's all that clear. 2 and 3 are both kinda bad, I'm not sure which is worse.

gfci breakers
"We have had two flood lights and a pond pump connected to the outside outlet all summer. Now all of a sudden when we turn on both flood lights (the pond pump is off for the winter) the gfci beaker is tripped. I changed the junction box and replaced it, but it still trips when both lights are on. Don't know what to do from here.
Disconnect one light at a time and retest.
Continue this until you locate the problem.
Is the pond pump close to the house, oris a receptacle wired close to the pond.
Divide and conquer is the way to trouble shoot this.
I would megger the pond wire first.Maybe saw better days.

By mutual agreement Bob Wren and the GMB Nottingham Panthers have parted company.
Bob was injured and played through the pain barrier for the Panthers and was later diagnosed with a broken bone in his foot.
Although well on the road to recovery the club and the player have reached an agreement and he will be leaving the organisation.
Panthers' GM Gary Moran said today : "The guy is a gentleman. He is a dedicated athlete who did his best for the club and we all wish him well in the future. Both Bob and the club wish things had worked out better for him during his time in Nottingham but he leaves with our thanks for his efforts and our hopes for a bright future."
Meanwhile defenceman Tuukka Makela will not be returning to the Panthers, at least for the time being.
He was signed as cover for injured players and had a great, if somewhat short, spell with the team.
His short-term contract ran out during his recent suspension and he returned to his family in Finland straight after the Continental Cup in Italy. Tuukka played some fantastic games for the Panthers during his time with the club, not least in the Continental Cup in Asiago.
The club is not closing any doors but for the time being he will not be rejoining the roster.

New Faces: Luca Giacon
By Robert Coster
It is probably an understatement to say that Luca Giacon's background is unusual. For a start, Giacon, a young lightweight prospect who boasts a perfect 14-0, 14 KOs record, has three nationalities: Italian, Belgian and Spanish. The 22-year-old is the son of an Italian father and a mother from the African nation of Ruwanda but with Belgian nationality. To top it all, Luca was born in Spain. He has fought in Panama, Spain and now Sardegna, Italy.
Apart from his uncommon origins, Luca Giacon is being heralded as one of the hottest prospects today in Europe.
As an amateur in Spain, Giacon had 15 fights, winning all of them; then, counselled by his father and adviser, he headed for Panama. "I wanted to polish my skills and Panama is certainly the place for that," says Luca.
At age 19, Giacon turned pro and won eight out his next nine fights in Panama, rapidly becoming popular with the fans. But just as Panama was adopting him, young Luca signed up with Italian promoter Salvatore Cherchi and headed for Sardegna where he has steamrolled over six opponents.
Giacon's record would seem to indicate that he is primarily a banger but Luca will tell you the contrary. " I'm not a slugger who bangs away at his opponent. I try not to get hit and I do believe I set up my knockouts with skill."'
He also adds, "I realize that my opposition is bound to get tougher and that power alone will not get the job done."
In 2011, Giacon is expected to step up in terms of his opposition and his status. "Fighting for the European title is definitely within our plans for next year," says promoter Cherchi. When the moment comes, one of Giacon's biggest problems, no doubt, will to be to choose which country he wishes to represent.

There is a growing sense among gays and lesbians that there supposed "fierce advocate" for their rights has displayed a remarkable silent position since becoming president of the United States. They await his fulfillment of a promise to end the ridiculous "don't ask, don't tell" policy of the armed forces which blatantly discriminates against gays and lesbians even though their goal is to serve to protect the nation which refuses them equal rights. A recent march through Manhattan that protested the California Supreme Court decision denying gay rights also witnessed thousands expressing disappointment with the lack of vigor on the part of Obama whenever gay rights are mentioned. Obama defenders undoubtedly argue he currently is overwhelmed with the economy and terrorism in Afghanistan.
Unfortunately, the argument that more important issues are on the Obama plate is a dodge. There will be constant economic issues and fighting all over the world during the coming years. It is simply an excuse for procrastination rather than action. For a man whose fellow African Americans refused to "wait" but insisted on action — now! it is a lame excuse that more important issues must be confronted.

1956 Cadillac Distributor Problem
I am restoring a 1956 Cadillac series 75 limousine and I am in the process of getting the rebuilt origional 365 cubic inch engine to fire for the first time. After getting the car to fire for the first time, I noticed that the distributor wants to rise significantly, while it is spinning. It slides up about 3/8 of an inch to 1/2 inch during rotation. I did get the car to fire, but was reluctant to continue and get the car to actually run in case that there is a problem with the distribuor. Two mechanics have told me that this situation is not normal. The distributor does seat correctly against the engine and it does drive the oil pump and I have verified that the pump is indeed pumping oil. I am assuming that the distributor should want to remain seated against the engine and not want to rise up and down when running. How would you suggest that I correct this problem ? Dan
Re: 1956 Cadillac Distributor Problem
Is the distributor hold down clamp tight? It cannot raise from the block if the hold down clamp is tight.

Waring Pro Electric Martini Shaker/Stirrer - Sur La Table
Has it come to this, do you really need an electric martini shaker? The Waring Pro Electric Martini Shaker/Stirrer delivers your martini shaken, or stirred (Rick at Martini Groove reminds us shaken for vodka drinks, stirred for gin). The martini maker has a 20-oz. brushed stainless steel shaker and a one oz. measuring cap. Personally I enjoy the theatrical aspect of creating drinks and I don't think I'd trust a bartender who used one but this might be a fun gift for the gadget-obsessed. It sells for $99.95.
This item looks really cool. Nice for cooking and completely organic. Would love to have it!Tags: home, gifts, food, outdoor, electronics, kitchen, technology, gadgets, cookingAdded 9 Years Ago from Healthstore

$14,000 paint job?????????????
Youve got to be SH-----g me,thats about a $800.00 Johnny and Mack at the railroad track (Miami) paint job... for that kind of money,it should have been stripped to bare metal, front and rear fascias taken off,panels painted,and re-installed,i personally would NOT try to be nice to the owner of that shop,i would DEMAND what i paid for,OR a refund of ALL the money, but,a phone call from a lawyer,might be the way to go. For that kind of money,YOU SHOULD HAVE been watching their work,and if the owner said "no customers allowed" i would have found another place to have the paint job done. BUDDY,YOU GOT SCREWED !!! That owner is NO FRIEND OF YOURS !!!
I'm with Boat Bob,, I would go to this guys shop, show him what the problem is, TELL HIM,,, NOT ASK what he intends to do to make it right, if his answer isn't anywhere close to saying they will COMPLETELY redo the car the way a 14K $ paint job should be,, and if he even studders about not wanting to completely redo the car, My very next stop would be the lawyers office,, and sue the crap outta this guy,, maybe a threating letter from a lawyer, or some stiffly worded letters , will influnce him to give you your money back,, other wise take it to court,, and sue him for your lawyers wages also,,,,
I actually wouldn't want him touching the car again,if it was mine,, if he can't do any better than that,
try getting your money back , and the only way to do that is to sue the crap outta him,, then keep a close eye on who ever does the work,, and take pictures of the work, to make sure they are doing it the right way,,
God I hate people like this,, make ya wanna burn em to the ground,,,,,
Let's all get back down to earth here. You can't say that he got screwed YET. The description of the work is vague first off secondly $14K in Elkins Ark isn't the same $14K in Berkeley CA. I'll tell you right now $14K in Berkeley isn't going to get you very far with a 45 year old car with rust here and there and body work on every square inch which is exactly what your average 45 year old car needs. With pulling glass and buying repro patch panels and removing and reinstalling all the mouldings with broken bolts and crap $14K goes REAL fast! A basic paint job where I work on a late model car starts at about $5000 this is with NO bodywork.
We have no idea what work was done on this car or what agreements were made with the customer. So don't beat up the shop just yet.

Looks like impact damage from door mis-alignment and pinching the fender and the sag let it hit the rocker..
..the first car should have had the bumper loosened for space or "roped" for paint..
Why not post complete pictures of both cars just for fun?
14 thousand dollars is a hell of a LOT of money for a paint job no matter where you live,,
I Know you are a VERY experenced auto body tech, and know your trade very well, But having these kind of problems after just 3 weeks?? what is this car going to look like in 3 months or 3 years??? bare *** necked , probably,, cause all that expensive paint popped off,,
Macco could have done better than that,,,,,
He may have gotten a total screwing, but honestly we don't know.
He goes in and they look over the car and tell him it's going to be $20K to do it and he says "Can you do it for cheaper"? and the shop explains that it really needs to be stripped and with all the seen and probably unseen work it will be $20K minimum. They says "How about we don't strip it, how much then"? I am not saying this is what happen, any way you look at it the shop made a bad business decision.
It all comes down to the customers expectations AND understanding of those expectations related to the job. I am not saying he is wrong, not by a hundred miles. All I am saying is we don't know what the deal was that was made. We honestly don't know. It could have in bold letters across the RO "Stripping recommended, customer denied, no warranty". It could literally say that on the repair order, we don't know!
When there is an unknown as huge as this, we can't say he "got screwed".
There are a lot of shops out there that don't do good business. They don't make things clear, they don't CLEARLY understand the customers expectations and make sure that the customer understands the repairs. I honestly don't think the shop meant to "screw" him,but he is most certainly "screwed". I seriously doubt that when the guy brings the car back and they see that paint falling off that they the shop owner thinks "Tough chit, I could care less". No, his stomach is likely flipping and he wants to run and go vomit. I will give them the benefit of a doubt.
We don't do completes where I work, VERY rarely do to vandalism or rare restoration type paint job. The other day a customer came for an estimate for one and after evaluating what she was after we sent her to the Macco in town. She had a list of prices on a sheet of paper one of them being Earl Schib for $1000. This is the type of pricing around here, a GRAND for an Earl Schib job. We all said quickly "Naaa don't go to there" sort of thing without making a big deal, but her eyes got as big as saucers and she got all defensive like we were insulting HER for suggesting them or we were just didn't like them personally or something like we were jerks for saying such a thing. It was really odd, we all got the message and didn't say another word. There was no winning with her,you couldn't convince her, in her eyes I could see immediately that she was convinced we were the bad guys.
So, we have this Maaco in town, I like the owner, he's a nice guy. We trade work back and forth with us doing his frame work and sending the complete paints of customers that we understand he would meet their expectations to him.
I have often wondered, how does he set their expectations? I have been wanting to ask him, we have had lunches and beers together and while chatting about baseball and what not I have been wanting to ask him this. You know it's part of the Maaco business training. I mean, come on now, there are very few customers that we have that would accept Maacos work, VERY few. When I see what our customers expect, the quality work they expect there is no way the car would ever leave Maaco without going straight to court! Yet there are MANY customers who go there like that lady and Earl Schib who don't have a clue at the difference between shops.
They MUST be "create" the expectations for the customer before they see their car painted. Because if they expected what our customers expect they would be in deep poo poo.
I completely agree with what you just posted,, no one here KNOWS for sure what exactly transpired between the owner and the shop,,
I do think that the owner probably should have kept a closer watch on how and what the shop was doing, but alot of owners don't know exactly what to look for or understand the process of a job like this entails,, there are LOTS of short cuts that can be taken , and this looks like one of those jobs ( To me anyway) and the results show that,, perhaps the owner thought they were doing a great job ,,,,,, untill it started falling apart almost immedately,,
That caulk job really shows how shabby their work must be,, even if it is in a place that isn't easy to see,, especally on a 14K $ paint job,
I can see from your posts Brian,, that you are a great customer relations person,, you see both sides of the story quickly, but thats what you get the big bucks for right???
This could have a interesting outcome,, I can guarantee you if it was my car ,, I would be getting some answers soon,, this just isn't right,, but thats just my opinion,,
at 14k in ark he got screwed to the wall . explain to me why there is that much mill thickness on an edge.
1. He isn't in ARK, He's in West Virgina and I have no idea of the hourly wage there.
2. Because they didn't strip it.
However, we can't see the rest of the car! These few chips may be the only bad spots on an otherwise nice looking car. There are LOTS of things to consider here. I would hate for the original poster to feel only defeat here, to feel like he has been shamed when it may not be that at all. And most certainly it may not mean that $14K was flushed down the drain and he has start all over.
We don't know the true expectations of the OP. If these chips are brush touched and detailed a little can he go down the street with a smile on his face enjoying his classic Camaro? That is the question that has not been answered.
at 14 grand there was plenty of room to strip it. you can explain it away if you want but the money was there to do it right.
2 sides to every story. hard to make a judgement here based on only a few pics. 14g in my area would be a damn near perfect job (depending on sheetmetal work). baremetal to finish. labor rate is higher in WV..i would say around 60 maybe. if it was a collision shop, it could be higher.
my question is how did these places get chipped if they werent done by you, aligning the car? Did you accept delivery of the car with these chips already on it? Agreed the seam seal job on that piece is nasty..looks as if it wasn't taken off, just seam sealed and painted.
Really not enough information here. And for those who say he should demand his money back, aint gonna happen. As long as he was writing checks based on the hours, he was accepting the work being done, and he took delivery of the car. Been through this before, car is still sitting in the back racking up storage fees.
Not trying to be negative here....i'd like to know more info about it and see more pics.
First off paint does not just fall off edges by itself, it needs help to chip off like we are seeing. Dont know what type of primer was used, but some brands are very porious and will chip extremly easy. Clearly something is not adding up here, yet everyone has no problem "blaming" the shop. Martin is right on here, and I agree $14K does not go far, when you add in all materials and then the hourly rate (what is it??). We dont know what condition this car was in, nor have we seen pics of the entire car.
you guys in US seem to be paying alot for restoration jobs, i have only done two full restorations in 3 years of owning my own paint shop. over here your getting a vehile restored for 3-6k in £, i done a mini, which is a small car for £4400, which included sand blasting, new panel fitting, resandblasting, fully etch primed, filler work, 2k primed, base followed by clear. inside, outside fully restored. 100 hours labour, 250 consumables, 400 paints, 250 blasting, how can yous charge so much? i get £35 labour rate.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
It's Wednesday, hump day, and the morning is closing in on you like a python around your neck. You sidle up to the counter at Enriqueta's and order the café con leche, wondering how in the world you're going to get through the next eight hours. The waitress calls you "amor" and sets down a steaming mug of milk and a little stainless-steel pot with espresso coffee in it, so finely brewed there's a delicate foam on top. Yeah, that's the stuff. You mix just the right amount of coffee into the milk. Today it's full-on, dump the caffeine in. You're going to need all the help you can get. You sip. The coffee is sweet and strong, the milk is warm and comforting. Suddenly things don't seem that bad. There's that cutie on the second floor you want to ask out, and you just remembered your boss is gone half the day. You take another sip. Yeah, things are looking up. You smile. The waitress smiles back. Best damn dollar you've spent in a long time.
The sun may have set on the British Empire long ago, but one of its key rituals continues weekdays at the Biltmore Hotel. The rapacious guardians of civilization knew that whether it be the languid tropics of the colonies or the drizzly comfort of hearth and home, nothing beats a good cuppa as the day turns dozy around midafternoon. Beneath the vaulted ceilings of this grand hotel's lobby, for an hour and half starting at 3:00 p.m., the tradition continues as high tea is served. It all begins with the raw materials from a 115-year-old English tea company. A gracious attendant wheels in a cart filled with teas accented by exotic flavors that carry names like Imperial Gunpowder, Afternoon Darjeeling, and Tippy Assam. The last of these is harvested each year, between April and June, from the Brahmanputra Valley in northeast India. Off to the side a woman plays piano softly. The server pours the tea into china cups, through silver strainers that are then placed into individual silver bowls. She brings fresh fruit and a selection of crustless finger sandwiches that range from salmon to cucumber. Next come wickedly rich scones made of fluffy shortbread dusted in powdered sugar. A dish laden with whipped butter and a complete selection of fruit preserves complements the pastries. At this point, rather than risk the perils of overindulgence, pause and appreciate the beautiful orchids atop the five tables, the plushly comfortable chairs, and, of course, more of that delightfully calming elixir. The last course arrives as if by magic, a plate brimming with confections: little macaroons, diminutive lemon tarts, and mini-pecan pies. When the $15 check comes, it seems a small price to pay for the burden of being civilized.
Just the name, written in big old-fashioned script above the entrance to this 32-year-old bakery, makes you think of sweet treats. And here there's an abundance of just about every Latin-American-style treat that can be baked. Homemade tamales simmer in a crockery pot by the cash register, and periodically a kitchen helper carries out fresh loaves of Cuban bread. In the morning and afternoon, people stop in on their way to or from work to pick up empanadas or pan gloria, maybe some pasteles de guayaba, cookies or cupcakes for the kids. The cakes at Bon-Bon are beautiful (it's best to order first and pick up later to ensure freshness), and the pies are dense and heavily crusted. The chocolate, coconut, and almond brazos -- a rolled log of cake that looks like an arm -- are festively decorated and even more fun for the palate.
Since Miami no longer is the nation's southernmost city but Latin America's northernmost, a yearning for Old South Florida cuisine rarely becomes urgent. But after a day gaping at gators in the Glades, nothing hits the spot like cracker cuisine, primo of which is barbecue. And the primo place at which to get it is the Pit, conveniently situated at the outskirts of the Everglades on the Tamiami Trail, miles before the road morphs into Calle Ocho. The décor in this small spot is perfect for a Florida barbecue joint: rustic wood booths inside, tiki-hut-covered picnic tables outside. And the food is even more perfect. This is genuine you-can-smell-the-smoke-for-miles pit barbecue, cooked slow over smoldering blackjack oak. The tender yet toothy ribs are terrific. But hard-core classicists order the $3.95 triple-winnerer: juicy pulled pork topped with crunchy, slightly sweet chopped coleslaw right on the sandwich, just like in North Carolina. And for noncarnivores, there's elegant fried fresh catfish. Among side orders, lightly floured crisp real onion rings are required eating, as are tangy-sweet barbecue beans. For dessert skip the overly sweet key lime pie and order another beer, since the Pit has imported Beck's and some Hank Jr. (or Senior) on the jukebox.
Molina's has a large and dedicated fan club; it's certainly among the best Cuban restaurants in town. Thus Molina's black bean soup, as a staple of any Cuban cuisine, has to be perfect, and it is. Very hearty, a nice thick broth enriched with just enough of the right seasonings to complement, not overpower, the succulent legume.
When Picanha's opened a couple of years ago in the former Tark's, which was attached to a Dairy Queen, we thought it would be another restaurant serf, dredging the lower realm of the dining public for customers. We're not ashamed to admit we were wrong about this honest Brazilian eatery, which is named for the cut of rump roast called a pincanha. Indeed the eatery was so successful with both Brazilians and the uninitiated alike that it recently took its meaty linguincinha sausages and rich prawns sautéed in palm oil and coconut milk to a more conducive venue: the former Mark's Place. Now the Grille is even more packed, especially on Thursdays for Brazilian-style karaoke and caiprinhas, and on weekends for executive chef Edson Milto's traditional feijoada. And here we thought nothing could ever take the Place of Mark's.
