Here is another story you can take it with a grain of salt. I'm just telling it as it occured. Driving back on the Saw Mill Parkway, I'm cruising in the left hand lane and a quick look in the rearview shows a PT flying behind me. But whats this I see on its hood, a scoop?! My first thought was maybe this is what the turbo PT's look like (scoop to cool an IC). So before he gets too close, I just take off and start flying through the twisties of the saw mill. I put like 10-12 cars initially and then resume a nice cruising speed until I see him come barreling closer, riding the center line, with the PT shaking to the left and right (not known for extreme handling, are they?). Close to my exit I just take off and he dissappears out of sight until I finally get to my exit. When I was turning off, I slowed down to a near stop (no other cars around) and waiting to see him pass by to maybe catch a glimpse of a "turbo" designation on the back of the car, but nothing. The windows were tinted up and the back sported a club logo, so I can only assume that if it didnt have a turbo or top IC, then the scoop was just for cosmetics/general cooling. And if it was a turbo, I wonder if the guy kept driving to the nearest Subaru dealership to trade the PT in for a WRX.
Enjoy. and Flame as usual.

Matty was very excited. Along with his older brother and sister, he had woken very early on Christmas morning to find a bulging Christmas stocking lying at the foot of his bed. There were lots of small toys in the stocking, a notebook with felt-tip pens, a diary, and a pencil sharpener. His excitement grew as he plunged his hand right down to the toe of the stocking. He knew what he would find, because it was the same every year, but somehow that made it all the more special. Yes, there they were, the chocolate money, the apple and the orange. With a sigh of contentment he laid everything out on the bed, and started to unwrap a chocolate penny.

The overuse of antibiotics has caused three kinds of bacteria, including one that causes life-threatening diarrhea, one that causes bloodstream infections and one that transmits sexually, to become urgent threats to human health in the United States, federal health officials say in a landmark report out Monday.
The report from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is the first to categorize the threats posed by such germs in order of immediate importance, from "urgent," to "serious," to "concerning." It is also the first to quantify the toll of such so-called superbugs, saying they cause 2 million infections and 23,000 deaths each year.

I am 5 weeks post op and notice around my belly button area is indented and looks like there's still fat. I went to my doctor and he said my garment made an indent and he might have to do a touch up at my 3 month mark. I am really frustrated and scared if I do a touch up it won't work or will look worse.

March is on its way, I can hardly believe that were heading to Spring, time flies thats for sure..
Spring is almost here, dear friend, and all this terrible winter for you will be just a bad dream!! :)
I've started to make plans for my flower garden this spring! I will once again do a container garden on my deck and a few pots of flowers on the front patio. We have a huge problem with deer and raccoons eating all the flowers that are planted in the ground, so I am forced to keep them up on the deck and patio. I'm thinking of a mix of petunias, pansies, salvia, yellow marigolds, spike plants and vinca. I may also do a small herb garden and maybe some cherry tomatoes. After this long, hard winter I am so excited for the spring
There have been lots of times, where I log in to post and I feel sad when I find out that its only me in..
I guess, the same happens to you Tink, Suzanne, Angelpugs, sorry if I forget someone..
I just wish we could keep this place more alive.. :xmaseyeroll:
(these are only some thoughts I wanted to share with you...)
Today, it was more like summer... 22c, went swimming in the swimming pool, spent the rest of the day in the balcony. Sun was unbelievable.
I wonder how summer is gonna be like...
I wish this place was more active as well. I have a feeling that some are posting on other forums now - hope they come back
yeah, it's a litlle bit quiet here but I'm happy when I see some familliar faces here:elf3:
Time really flies, Easter is approaching, I can still remember the day I was taking Christmas decoration down...
I dont know, seems to me that this year is moving so quickly!!

Good Monday all!
When I first spotted these photos styled by Studio Toogood, there was something about the vibrant tropical prints and the slightly quirky vibe of the images that I was immediately drawn to.
I love the idea of incorporating bright colors, floral prints and lots of pattern in a wedding – especially for a destination wedding… say someplace like Mexico or Puerto Rico.

The continuous growth of the information on the Internet makes it necessary for users to be provided with a convenient and yet accurate tools to capture the information needed Web usage mining has gained more popularity among researchers in discovering the users browsing behavior. In this paper, we developed a usage model for predictions based on association rule and similarity measures. We used the normalized time spent on each page for weighting the pages, instead of binary. Two evaluation metrics will be applied to evaluate the accuracy of the recommendations, namely precision and coverage. The result shows that the time spent on a Web page is essential in determining the importance of that page before it is recommended to the user.

The Fate of the Astrodome
Houston without the Astrodome? Would Paris tire of Eiffel Tower? Would San Francisco abandon the Golden Gate Bridge?
The voters of Harris County have spoken, and rather than incur even higher property taxes they are willing to let a building that has out-lived its usefulness follow the tradition of Houston and go away.
For people like Edgar Colon, Chairman of the Sports and Convention Corp., there's still an argument to be made. "I think we need to go back and regroup," Colon tells KTRH News. "Go back to the drawing board. Basically all the options are back on the table."
Harris County Judge Ed Emmett has said that the final decision on the fate of the Astrodome will be made by the Commissioners Court.
The cost of bringing down the piece of history is somewhere in the ballpark, pun intended, of $29 to $78 million, an opening Earl Campbell could've run through blind-folded.

The Mackintosh Dollhouse
This is such a stunning architectural dollhouse, I'd actually buy it --and I don't have kids!. Based on the work by Arts & Crafts era architect and designer, Rene Mackintosh, it's beautifully rendered with correct proportions. I'd just put it up on a mantel. It's almost enough to turn me into a dollhouse collector! I said 'almost'.

Adding a partition wall
I'm subdividing a 32x16 room above my garage into two 16x16 rooms. The area is currently unfinished - just OSB flooring & 2x4 studs along the exterior.
The work will be inspected, so I want to make sure I get it right the first time.
How is an interior partition tied into an existing wall? Do I have to double up on studs on the existing wall? Are there certain metal plates I should use to connect the new partition with the existing unfinished wall?
Need more info
Is the ceiling flat or sloped?
Typically, partition walls are tied into exterior and bearing walls with a "par" assembly. Short for partition, it is two 2x4 studs with a spacer stud between. It would look like a "U" with the bottom of the "U" facing into the room. The partition wall is tied into the bottom of the "U" and the sides act as nailers for your drywall.
16d common nails are adequate, toenailed front face and sides.
Alternative is to use 2x4 blocking running horizontal between two existing studs.
Ceiling is flat.
So I want an area of about 6" (less with actual width of 2x4) to butt my partition against? Or do you mean the boards should go like this
With the bottom line being the 4" side of a 2x4?
Your diagram is correct. The total width across the bottom should be 6.5". Center you partition and you will have 1.5" nailers in the corners for your drywall
I will be using staggered studs on a 2x6 header/footer.

Grammy Awards 2012: Rolling in the sweep
When LL Cool J took the stage to host the 54th Grammy Awards last night, he immediately cleared the air and set the tone for a show that was mostly full of reflective moments, with a few bursts of celebrating the healing powers of music.
"There is no way around this," said the host, who appeared to have tear-stained cheeks. "We've had a death in our family."
He then led the crowd in a prayer to remember Whitney Houston, who died on Saturday. Later in the show, Jennifer Hudson belted out a crushing version of "I Will Always Love You" for which Houston won the Record of the Year award in 1994. Hudson's rendition was full of sadness and beauty, much like Houston's all too short life. The tribute was especially touching, given that Houston — who had six Grammy Awards to her name — had presented Hudson with her first Grammy award just three years earlier.
Speaking of goosebump-inducing performances and Record of the Year awards, when Adele sang "Rolling in the Deep," her first performance since having vocal surgery in November, she brought the whole crowd to its feet.
The British singer won every single award she was nominated for this year, including the big three, Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Album of the Year.
"Thank you so much, this is ridiculous," Adele said upon winning the Record of the Year award. In accepting other awards, she was humble and quick to deflect attention to her co-writers. And when she won the final award, she burst into tears, and had a hilarious moment where she acknowledged "a little bit of snot."
Elsewhere in the show, some of the evening's performances seemed inappropriately over-the-top, such as Chris Brown's two appearances, and Nicki Minaj's elaborate rap opera of "The Exorcism of Roman." Foo Fighters turned in passionate, yet purposefully understated performances of "Walk" and "Rope," the former of which won the Grammy for Best Rock Song. Dave Grohl and company quietly won five awards, including Best Rock Album.

I know most authors have "live preview" drop down at the top of a preview for all of their own products to switch easily between, but is there a way to do it for different authors at the same time? Specifically, I want to "quick browse" through all of the "Landing Pages" in the Marketing section of themeforest. There's about 344 and instead of going in and out individual items, it would be great if I could go through all of them sequentially and bookmark the ones I like.
If this doesn't exist, maybe it an be a feature request for the awesome people at Envato?
This doesn't exist as far as I know So you'll have to check each item individually!
Hi 4Mguy, unfortunately we don't have such feature, but thank you for the feedback.
An alternative could be opening multiple tabs in your browser, by clicking the different Live Preview buttons while holding Ctrl (Windows and Linux) or (Mac).
This way, you can easily browse the items, while still being able to quickly compare them. It's not the perfect solution, but can sometimes be extremely useful! Good luck.

Q: So what did everyone do as soon as they heard John Moore was
directing the next Die Hard film?
A: Look up his filmography and see titles like the remake of Omen and Max Payne.
And now, sadly, A Good Day to Die Hard will join his list of notoriously bad films. As much as I wanted to like this movie, I just couldn't; not even as a die hard fan of the franchise.
First, let's look at the selling point. We're promised ONE thing: a larger scale as far as action sequels go. The first Die Hard took place in a building, the second one in an airport and, the third in NYC, and the fourth in the entire nation of the United States. So logically, Die Hard 5 was going to go international.
Well, ironically, A Good Day to Die Hard feels like the smallest film of the five because the stakes feel so low. The action is endless chaos from start to finish; you quickly become numb to it. And unlike previous Die Hard films, the terrorist threats never get carried out. I never felt like John McClane was going to lose.
The one-liners aren't clever. The jokes aren't funny. The bad family relationship story is getting really old, especially when Die Hard 4 primarily focused on the estranged father-daughter relationship. And unlike Lucy who just came off as a spoiled brat, Jack McClane is introduced by pulling a gun on his own father who we have grown to love over four movies.
I can't speak too much about the "villain" (played by Radivoje Bukvić) without spoilers, but all I have to say is that he has little to no part in the movie. The evil Russian comes off as a cliché, and again, he carries out no threat. I'm dying to talk about the story here, but let's just say it has a really brain dead ending.
In an attempt to end the review on a more positive note, I'd like to say that the movie does have some "oh sh*t" moments here and there. However, I'd still stay clear of this one.
I am heartbroken.
It's a sad day to say this, but it has to be said: "A Good Day to Die Hard" is a dud. The fifth instalment in the beloved "Die Hard" saga ends up as the worst of the series so far; it falters thanks to a weak characterization, even weaker screen writing, lack of worthy villains, absurd action sequences and incoherent direction. You can bet this movie will be mentioned in the same sentence with "Rocky V", "Superman IV: The Quest for Peace", "Speed 2: Cruise Control", "Die Another Day" and "Batman & Robin". Not even the R-rating and the return of the famous "Yippie ki yay" line in full can save this one.
As much as I love action movies, I like mine with a side of plot and character, of which this film fails at. John McClane, one of my favorite film characters of all time, is given a horrendous treatment no beloved character should ever be given: relegated to a sidekick. This is HIS movie, not his son's! From the start he is inexplicably thrust into Russia with no back story of how the previous films over the years have shaped his character now - a key trait that was visible in the previous four films. He is reduced to a wise-cracking action supercop, and even his wisecracks are weak. However, Bruce Willis, bless him, is still McClane without a doubt, as he dishes out the bad guys with weathered-out cynicism in his eyes. He still has it in him, and in no way it is his fault that this movie turned out to be near-crap.
Rather, writer Skip Woods and director John Moore are to blame. Woods clearly missed the whole point of McClane's essence and likability - he is a vulnerable human - an everyday Joe who only stops the bad guys when "there's no one else that can do it". He is a reluctant hero in the first four films, he can get seriously wounded, as he is up against worthy adversaries that are cool, calculative and almost one step ahead of him. Here, McClane, in the opening car chase, and immediately causes mass vehicular damage just to stop thugs from attacking his son, shows no signs of vulnerability (after TWO major car crashes), and has no qualms about killing the bad guys wherever they pop up here. His son Jack (Jai Courtney), filling in for McClane's sidekick, has certain charisma and shows a few glimpses of character development in McClane but it is cut short by the merciless and absurd action sequences.
A good action movie has to have a good villain. "Die Hard 5" has none. It has three primary villains, all of them forgettable. Nothing with the likes of even Thomas Gabriel or Colonel Stuart (the Gruber Brothers must be smirking right now in hell). They're not intelligent, not menacing, not memorable. They're just dumb, die, and that's it. What was their evil plot? What dastardly deeds do they have? Weapons dealing. Oh the humanity!
The film runs at 97 minutes - the shortest in the series. Why the film was released at this length I don't want to know. Nobody complained about the 2 hour running time for each of the previous four movies. Imagine what a better movie this could've been with those cut scenes added back in.
John Moore directs with the subtlety of a car crash. He smash cuts every scene, puts heavy use of slow motion in the excruciatingly absurd climax, and relies heavily on CGI for most of the action sequences. But like all Die Hard movies, there has to be at least one sensational action sequence, and that is at the film's beginning. The only thing I really enjoyed (in a guilty pleasure sort of way) about the whole movie was a massive, destructive stunt-filled car chase throughout the streets of Moscow. It was an intense and exciting scene. Pity the rest of the movie can't hold up to this sensational chase scene alone, especially the end which essentially turns McClane into The Terminator. If you think the F-35 scene in "Die Hard 4" was absurd, hoo boy, wait until you get a load of this one.
At the very least, there's some competent cinematography from Jonathan Sela and a good, riveting music score from Marco Beltrami, who really knows his stuff when it comes to action, as well as incorporating Michael Kamen's themes into this one. If anything, the music is better than the movie.
There is a 6th (and according to Bruce, final) movie in the works. Here's a no brainer - bring back John McTiernan or Renny Harlin (hell, even Len Wiseman for all I care), and hire a good screenwriter who really delivers the old school action goods. I strongly believe Bruce and McClane can deliver the goods still and ride off into the sunset, instead of falling off his horse here. They just need a better story, better direction, and a more than worthy villain with a respected British actor in the role. The franchise doesn't deserve to die with this. It's too good for that.
Shame on you, John Moore and Skip Woods.
As a fan of the Die Hard series I feel the need to warn others - Don't
waste 97 minutes of your life on this movie! Yes, it really is that
Here's a concise summary of why it's just so bad:
1) John McClane's role is really as a side-kick. Why do this to the big man .... why?
2) The movie lacks a bad guy. Does the movie have people that are bad - of course, but it lacks that McClane v Super-villain factor.
3) There's very little of the Die Hard humour we've all grown to love.
4) The movie parodies the Hans Gruber death sequence - never - never do this.
5) Jai Courtney is terrible. It's hard to discern if it's the role he's been asked to play or him, but either way he come across as a spoiled brat pretending to be Jason Bourne.
6) There's hardly any script - it's as if the script were sandwiched in post production to fit around the bangs and crashes.
7) It's not in the USA. This sounds trivial but it's not - the film just doesn't work outside of its tried and tested environment.
8) The car chase scene - oh my. If you do choose to watch the movie after reading this the good news is that yes, it does eventually end - although it may not feel this way.
So in summary, go plant a tree, play football, go for a walk, in fact - do anything but for the love of all that you hold dear - don't waste your life on this.
Now, I'm a fan of the first three movies. I love them really a lot,
especially the original but I also love the 3rd installment, mainly due
to the chemistry between Jackson and Willis. That was phenomenal. I
could not connect with much in the 4th movie as it was a lot of CGI and
made John McClane a superhero who seemed invincible. I wasn't setting
my standards high for this one at all as I knew what it could turn out
to be, but BOY...This movie really is awful
This movie is based around John McClane who travels to Russia to deal with his son's issues. There, a whole lot of crap begins to happen. This movie attempts to have such a complex plot for a Die Hard whereas the other four were so simple that even the dumbest person could tell what was happening. Its like this director, the guy who made the god awful Max Payne thought that the plot had to be complex for an action film like Die Hard As a regular movie, this movie may NOT be that bad but as a Die Hard movie, it is god awful. I couldn't bear to watch the pain that I went through in this film, why? Because, almost nothing in this movie resembled anything about Die Hard. There was no tone, no tension and as a result, it felt nothing like Die Hard. NOTHING!
The characters really are all awful, with the exception of John McClane who still has a bit of relatability to him. Bruce Willis does a fantastic job in the movie but every other member of the cast really didn't appeal to me. The villain was weak, John's son was uninteresting and a lame addition to the franchise, as if he were there to sell action figures. The story was no fun and the action was all messy This movie does absolutely nothing to resemble the Die Hard films and as such, one of the most anticipated movies of 2013 has fallen down a drain with overuse of CGI, lame characters and plot, uninteresting villain with no real intention and another excuse to make more money out of it.
A Good day to Die Hard is a movie that makes you think that this day is a good day for you to die hard. Do not watch it, pointless action movie that does not resemble Die Hard.
First off, I am a huge fan of the three first films, the fourth film
was alright, but it didn't feel like a Die Hard movie, sadly, this one
doesn't either.
A Good Day To Die Hard is a huge mess. No good plot, bad cgi, rushed scenes etc. Only thing I found good was the action. An R rating didn't help this one at all. It almost seems like they tried to make this PG-13 at first, but then changed it to R later because fans were complaining about Live Free or Die Hard's (Aka Die Hard 4.0)'s rating. The movie has PG-13 / 12A violence, and this is disappointing. John Moore could of done so much more with this film, but instead, he messes it up just like he did with Max Payne. Good action, but no good story or character development.
Jai Courtney (who starred in Jack Reacher earlier this year) did well on his part, and I do hope he returns if they are making a 6th one, but I am begging, please get a good director for the 6th one, since Bruce says it will possibly be the last one. Bring McTiernan back, and let him end the series with a huge bang! I am sorry to say this, but the film was not good at all. Being an hard-core Die Hard fan, I suggest that other fans should just let this one pass.
I love Die Hard, but shaky camera ruined it for me this time. I can't see because 35% film use shaky camera, 25% out of focus, blurry and 10% rapid zoom ins. Please STOP using Shaky Camera in Films, PLEASE :I am some of those remaining species, who go to watch feature films in cinemas. I never download a movie for free, I pay to netflix. Just doing my part to save the cinema I love. But, some directors and movie making houses, make stupid moves. One of them is use of unwanted, un-needed, shaky camera. So, I want to get my voice heard. If you are a fan, go see the movie, but if you don't like Shaky Camera, then think twice.
Let me start off by saying that like everyone I had a feeling this
could go wrong. You have a terrible writer, Skip Woods(even if I
enjoyed The A-Team) and a terrible director, John Moore. The people at
Fox must be idiots because John Moore has not made one good film, so to
trust him with the Die Hard franchise seemed a bad idea. The film has a
lot of action if not too much, there isn't any dialog!!!! At 97 minutes
it's the shortest one in the series ans it sure feels that way. Every
other film in the franchise were longer, they gave you more time to
explore the rest of the film. But this one feels so rushed, like okay
let's go there , and then here,... The film has no structure. It's like
they said "alright guys were gonna make this as fast as possible" Bruce
Willis is fine but it's like he doesn't even talk during the whole
movie, his chemistry with Jai Courtney is fine. The plot is okay even
if you can see the twist coming after 25 minutes. What makes this film
still enjoyable is the action even though it's disturbed by shaky-cam,
bad editing and bad CGI effects. If they are gonna make another one
they should bring back John Mctiernan and make the movie on a smaller
scale. Back to basics!! If they make it on a bigger scale than they
should make it as good as With a Vengeance.And another thing: You can't
drive from Moscow to Chernobyl in a couple of hours!!!!!!
This is by far the worst entry in the franchise
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Our hearts go out to Bruce Willis. Truly. Six years after successfully
restarting the most important character of his entire movie-making
career, Willis has to watch it all crash and burn to the ground with
this loud, dumb and plain boring fifth chapter, the erroneously-titled
'A Good Day to Live Hard'. Indeed, while its immediate predecessor
'Live Free or Die Hard' banked on a winning formula of old-school
heroics with new-age sensibilities, this sequel is firmly stuck in the
past and the worse thing about it is that it would only be passable
by the standards of an 80s action movie.
Truth be told, Willis isn't at all the reason why this fails to be a good day for the 'Die Hard' franchise. At the age of 57, the man can still run, carry a mean weapon and kick ass not to mention his trademark squint and unflappable wisecracking attitude. To put it simply, Willis is still very much the John McClane we've loved in the 80s and 90s and even in the very last movie before this one. But much as Willis tries, he is severely let down by a toxic combination of weak scripting and even weaker directing the former of which by Skip Woods and the latter by John Moore.
Little in either Woods' or Moore's filmography suggests that they are capable of rising above mediocrity, and this exercise in blandness is proof of that foolish consistency. Let's start with Woods' script, which clearly thinks it can be a 'Mission Impossible' by way of 'Die Hard' so instead of putting the New York City detective in his home turf, or for that matter, his home country, decides to transport him all the way to the Moscow to wreak havoc. The excuse? To reconnect with his long lost son, Jack, who has apparently turned bad and is now imprisoned in Russia.
Nowhere in the rest of the story does Woods manage to convince us that the change in location is worth the while. Even though we are now well into the 21st century, Woods still seems stuck in the last, so not only are the good guys and bad guys drawn along the lines of Americans and Russians respectively (cue the stereotypes about both nationalities), the plot has something to do with as archaic an institution as Chernobyl. Oh yes, we're back to foiling some nasty Russian's nefarious plan of using the uranium from the site to build weapons of mass destruction.
To make matters worse, Moore is too daft to realise that the very premise in itself strains credibility. How else can you explain why following scene after scene of destruction around the Russian capital, there is no sign of any law and order agency? Are we supposed to believe that the police are too busy or nonchalant to care about some highway chase that decimates pretty much every one of the city's infrastructure it comes across? Or that no authority responds to some helicopter firing round after round after round into a high-rise building? We like that our action movies are escapist, but not when they ignore every shred of common sense simply for expediency.
The fact that we pay attention to these details is in itself telling, for despite a frenetic pace that goes from scene after scene of action, the movie remains a bore. Shots are fired, things get blown up and people get killed from time to time, but at the end of the day, all that action is staged so unimaginatively that it fails to even interest let alone excite you. The pacing within each sequence is too monotonous, the sound seems perpetually cranked on loud, and the weaponry plus an over-used helicopter just gets tiresome too quickly. As if to compensate for the lack of any genuine thrills, the climax goes over- the-top, but like the rest of the movie, grows so incredulous especially in slo-mo that it is just laughable.
Ironically, what passes as John McClane's wise cracks is anything but humorous. Most of McClane's lines are in the context of his father-son relationship with Jack (Jai Courtney), but are hardly witty or engaging. They are also frustratingly repetitive, consisting of John lamenting how Jack nary shows him any respect as a father, or John lamenting how he had expected no more than a vacation in Moscow, or some inane topic like whether they will grow a third hand after stepping into Chernobyl without any protective suit. If John's lines are horrid, the rest of the characters can be no better and what really takes the cake is when John's nemesis Alik (Rasha Bukvic) talks about how he used to be a pretty good tap dancer whom no one appreciated.
Even more lamentable is how this instalment, if played right, could have been an exciting new page for the 'Die Hard' series, with John passing the baton to his CIA operative of a son Jack. Yet this fifth chapter is easily the worst 'Die Hard' entry and quite possibly might sound the death knell for the franchise. If John McClane had a penchant for landing in the wrong place at the wrong time, then 'A Good Day to Die Hard' is Bruce Willis' unfortunate mistake of being in the wrong movie with the wrong people.
I gave it a 3 to be nice because i'll always have a huge place in my
heart for Die Hard, and just because i am loyal to the franchise i will
probably buy this piece of junk on DVD when it comes out. Maybe when it
comes out on DVD it'll be the extended edition ( seriously it was
barely and hour and an a half long) and it'll actually have a story
instead of just long drawn out action scenes, one-liners, and dialogue
we can actually hear over the load background noise. I use to rank Die
Harder as the worse of the franchise, guess who just moved up a step.
The only thing that this movie benefited the franchise is that John's son at the end actually mentions the fact that his name is actually John McClane Jr. not Jake ( in Die Hard (1988) his kids are named Lucy and John Jr.), But not actually explain the name change in the first place.
Much like when they took Oceans 12 to Europe and twisted Indiana Jones into confusing whirlwind that involved aliens, they should have just stayed in America where John McClane belongs. We got enough problems here he could fight.
In the early '80s and '90s, the "Die Hard" series of films were all
about entertainment. Sure it's not a thought-provoking piece of art,
but it's art done with class, integrity and art; these films were made
at a time when action films were..actually..action films. They had no
quick-style MTV editing that tries to pass itself off as "action", they
were done with pure and honest craftsmanship with stunt men willing to
put it all out for all to see. And for that aspect alone, they did a
commendable job.
So now I look at A Good Day to Die Hard, with all the trappings that action films are known for and ostentatious hijinks that scream Michael Bay-esque action that reeks of his earlier films to date.
Bruce Willis plays McClane to a hilt, but that's all there is. No heartwarming moments, no instances of morality, no deep insights into why he kills his enemies, John McClane is just that. John McClane. A bravado of words and action that homages the earlier films.
The movie at times tries to be gritty and funny at the same time, but with such an inane screenplay and unfunny jokes, it becomes quite apparent that this film was simply not meant to continue the series. To try to adapt an relic of the '80s and '90s into a modern context with current technology, doesn't work anymore. The only exception to this is Rambo, where he was fighting against a brutal regime in Southeast Asia. It worked because the setting was raw in it's brutal intensity; plus Rambo is a timeless hero and much more plausible. John McClane is just a beefed-up Jack Bauer without the hero's legendary outbursts of anger when something goes wrong or impedes him from saving the day. Not once is there a chance for the viewer to root for McClane. He remains lifeless and stiff; the very opposite of his portrayal in the earlier films.
In an attempt to distance itself from its PG-13 predecessor, the film makers decided to make this film rated R. Yet it hardly saved the film from it's mediocre direction. I suspect this was due to the large backlash from audiences of Live Free or Die Hard, a film that was only a Die Hard film in name only, not a "true" Die Hard film, which is evident in the director's inability to handle the material.
I tried to keep an open mind, after the execrable LFODH, but after this, I hope Bruce and co. just hang up the wife beater for the final time. No more. John McClane is a hero of the past and should be left there for all time's sake.

Repairing drywall
How do you repair a crack on painted drywall that has occurred on a seam with fiberglass tape? Also what causes drywall to crack like that?
Easy repair.
Cause: Most likely a sheetrock seam that hasn't been screwed tightly, or simple house settling.
Repair: Put some 1 1/4" drywall screws into the area, to re-attach the sheetrock tightly to the stud (if that is the cause). You could also use a 'stud-finder' to locate the stud location.
Coat crack with mesh or paper tape. If using paper tape, make sure that you get plenty of compound under it to leave NO dry spots.
Re-coat smooth, let dry, sand lightly.
Repeat the last process............
.... until it is well coated and you can no longer see the tape outline. Each coat should be a little wider and smoother.
The best compound to use is the quick dry, that you mix up yourself....and yes, you can compound over a painted wall. The only issue you run into is: Whatever kind of compound you use takes alot longer to dry over the paint.
Good luck!

Part 2, in ENGLISH - The interview at "Vocea umana" on Radio Romania Cultural
Second and last part of interview Angela Gheorghiu gave to Mihaela Soare for "Vocea umana", broadcast on Ester, on April 16 and 17 on Radio Romania Cultural. The main topic was "Homage to Maria Callas" but there are many other musical topics brought up. You can read/listen to the first part here.
An interview with Angela Gheorghiu is not an easy thing to do. She challenges you. She makes you reconsider certain preconceived ideas about artists and about herself in particular. Her honesty might be blunt. Her ideas are decisive and she utters them accordingly. And I thought it's absolutely worth having a face-to-face conversation because Angela is herself a show. From a raised hand to underline an idea she cares about to the warm smile when speaking of a favorite topic. It was meant to be a dialogue at midnight in an elegant setting, in Bucharest.
I listened to "Homage to Maria Callas" several times attentively. There are arias that you've already sung even if you haven't performed the role on stage. I retrieved familiar things, the beauty of the voice, fierceness, sensibility, sensuality that we all recognize in your voice, your amazing pianissimi, the warmth of emotions when singing. But I found something more. A deeper musical content than before, as if each sound is even more polished in search of its hidden meanings. Does an artist ever stop exploring a character?
What you said sounds good. These are the results of a situation, a quest, a state of mind. I recorded the CD in two locations, half at Abbey Road in London and the other half in New York. It all started with EMI's suggestion of making a duet with Maria Callas. It was technically possible. I've said that before. It was very important that we were colleagues at EMI and the result was very good, technically speaking. I really wanted to bring homage. I didn't do it to get such beautiful compliments. I think all the artists do the same. I wanted to include a variety of roles, arias that we haven't necessarily performed on stage. While she was alive she never agreed to release "Samson et Delilah" on CD. She didn't consider it good enough. Later on, her sister released on CD all these arias. I chose an eclectic repertoire and each aria has a story. I tried to get as close as possible to something she did. I didn't want to make a difference between us speaking of repertoire, performances and characters. It's important that you can listen to me and listen to her. I was fully aware of what I'm doing. I knew she was a great person. I discovered her by listening to recordings at the library of the Conservatory, without seeing any photo of hers. I listened to my first CD later on, and it was La Traviata with Virginia Zeani. Maria Callas owes a lot to Virginia Zeani's husband. When I saw Mrs Zeani's photo I said to myself "oh, God, this human being is also singing!!". I don't give advice. I speak from experience. I don't repeat what I heard from somebody.
I started listening to recordings at the State Library and the first one was Virginia Zeani's. I didn't miss any of Eugenia Moldoveanu's performances at the Romanian Opera. I wanted to listen to everything whether I liked it or not. I didn't like to be ignorant. I mean it. It was not only opera. I plunged in the divine classical music. My first live TV broadcast was at 18. Iosif Sava wanted to listen to me, as he knew I was a first year student at the Conservatory. So he did this broadcast with all the students in Arta Florescu's class because he wanted to listen to me as soon as possible. Iosif Sava did great things for music. He was our angel. He knew how to recognize a talent and he dedicated himself to it. He did all he could for me. Many times I was guest at his broadcasts and the only singer among actors. The second edition of "Do you like opera?" took place when I was in the first year at the Conservatory. I was invited and I asked who else was singing. The first names uttered were "Nicolae Herlea and Eugenia Moldoveanu". What was I supposed to sing? Addio del passato. Since I was 18 I have never talked to anyone about canto. I understood everything at 18.
You're a phenomenon and this is not a compliment or a joke.
It's reality. I chose to be my own teacher.
Since 18 I haven't asked a sole question to anyone. I don't ask questions.
It's like you're telling me a story. I know lots of young people that are overwhelmed with information and they're still not singing well. You have always said that your technique was polished up at 18. And your voice sounds exactly like twenty years ago, as beautiful, as sensual as back then. Of course several details improved as time went by.
I've always been the slave of my own self, voice and destiny. I was aware from the beginning of what I was meant to do. It's a fact but it's not that awesome. I have a body as anybody else and I have needs and desires. The only difference is that I've had a mission since I was a young girl. I decided to fully dedicate myself and to give everything.
Generally speaking, this means musical intelligence, trust in your own instinct, a very strong will and faith in your own gift.
You have this genuine wish to share your real value without being modest.
Sometimes it's not so good to be so aware because it comes with responsibility and huge emotions. I always want to give emotions, to build up something in order to make people dream with me. This is so difficult and it never ends. My awareness of what I'm doing gives me unbearable emotions. Don't ask me how I face this feeling. It's hard. I won't say I don't like it, on the contrary. But the body doesn't always help. And here it comes my less enjoyable side, cancellations. I realize that I'm not feeling fine on a certain day. I must accept that I don't have to make people suffer. I'm sad that I have to stay at home. This is a price I have to pay. I don't want to become melodramatic. When I started twenty years ago, I started from the best places possible.
Covent Garden, the Met… there's nothing better than these.
This is what I wanted. Mia Barbu told me this was what I had to do and I followed her advice. And she was so right. At the same time I became the black sheep, the difficult person. But all my colleagues, conductors, directors and opera singers that shared my emotions understand me perfectly. You said I enjoy fighting for opera. It's true, because I'm the first one to get the phenomenon. No matter the race or religion we all want the same thing, a good performance. Is it true?
It is absolutely true.
Tell me in a sentence what Angela Gheorghiu dreams of for the future, for your home and family. You have everything and people who don't know you might say you have stepped on a red carpet from the beginning.
I try to be a normal person, to be with my family, with my girls, Ioana and Ornella, with Roberto. We had our ups and downs. I've said before I'm not too original in this aspect. You have no idea how it's like to be away from home for you entire life. When I come home I only stay for a few days. My life is dedicated to what I was meant to do.
We stop here, but there's place for more. Please promise that when you come back we'll talk more because I have many other interesting questions to ask. People who listen to this broadcast and who call me after your broadcast performances to tell me how much they appreciate us having such a high classed Romanian voice, would like to hears us talking more.
It will be my pleasure if an opportunity shows up. Today I realized how enjoyable is to speak Romanian the entire day. It's the second time in my life when this happens. It's easier for me to speak in my native language. Usually I have to speak in many other languages but my own. I want people to discover the real Angela, the happy, nervous, serious, friendly, down to earth one for those who deserve it. I've always done everything with the greatest respect and love towards people who love what I love.
Thank you very much!
This is the end of this dialogue with Angela Gheorghiu. Everything she told us about herself, her colleagues and about art might make us listen to opera not differently but with more appreciation. It's good when artists talk to us, as if guiding us, showing us the right path to follow. Today, the Human Voice is Angela Gheorghiu's voice.

I recently upgraded my 02 WRX to stage 2. I can say that it was a pretty big step up from stock and I'm thrilled with the results so far. All I'm running right now is a downpipe and a tune but I was wondering if any of you guys had some knowledge about what my WRX is capable of with the stock injectors and turbo.
I plan to replace the uppipe very soon, then after that a better TMIC and a MBCS. The hope is that I can take the rex to a dyno and get a tune to squeeze some more power out of her. Anyone know what the stock injectors and turbo are capable of? I'm wanting to be around 250whp. I've talked to people in the past who claim to be running 20-21 psi with stock turbo and injectors. Just curious if anyone else thinks that's possible.

With Olympic Golds in Torino and Vancouver, ten ESPY awards and more X Games Golds than anyone else on earth, Shaun White has proven time and again he's one red-headed step child that can't be beat. What's next for the winningest snowboarder in history? Clearly that's for Shaun to decide and the rest of us to witness. He's set to compete in both Halfpipe and Slopestyle in Sochi. While most athletes will return with passport stamps, the past proving precedent, Shaun will be filling out forms for heavy metal. His unique brand of fearlessness started early. The local pro at his neighborhood skatepark was a little-known named Tony Hawk, the transitions triple-overhead. (If they debut Vert in the 2016 Summer Games, expect to find Shaun there too.) When it came to snow, his parents initially switched him from skis just to slow him down. When that didn't work they make him ride backwards, and we all know how that worked out. Still in his prime, Shaun's a unique man, a gifted musician, strangely humble all things considered, and a qualified legend within the sport.
Women's ice hockey, snowboarding…der.
Anything guitar heavy.
Learning piano, surfing, reading the news.
That's like asking me my favorite Michael Bolton song..I like em all.

What you're describing is a feature that's common for electronic power steering. It sounds to me like you're used to older cars which use hydraulic assisted steering, where the steering is either loose or tight all the time. With electronic power steering the level of assist the electronic motor applies is proportional to the speed you're traveling.
You can test this out by going to a parking lot and driving around at a very slow speed (~10 mph). Do a few turns and notice how the steering wheel is very loose and easy to turn. Now drive off onto a main road and speed up a bit. As you get closer to 35+ mph, the steering wheel will gradually tighten and become more responsive. This is 100% completely normal with electronic power steering systems.
I can't explain the zig-zagging that you describe, because I don't know if you're naturally overcompensating for a steering system you're not used to. But I think a quick way to figure out whether it's really a problem or not is to visit your dealership and test drive another Focus (or another Ford model) to see if it really is the steering system. I don't want to discredit you entirely because maybe you really may be onto something. But I just figured I'd explain how newer steering systems work.
I can tell you right now that almost all cars that use electronic power steering have speed proportional assist. It took me a while for me to get used to it too when I bought the Rabbit. Sport trim cars (GTI, MazdaSpeed3, etc.) have their assist levels turned a little lower to emulate old school hydraulic power steering responsiveness (which is probably what you're more used to). I'd rather have that feeling too, but unfortunately these cars have steering that's tuned more for comfort rather than precision.
The good news is that the level of assist can be tweaked very easily. People who work for Ford can use a diagnostic tool hooked up to your car's computer to actually change the value of the level of assist (much like changing the mouse sensitivity on your computer). The bad news is that your dealership probably won't let you do it by request. Believe me I've tried to get them to set mine to a sportier setting (GTI's default value) and they refused even when I attempted to bribe them, stating liability reasons.
mmmoose, thank you for your response offering me a driving lesson by explaining the difference between electronic assist and hydraulic power steering; as if I understood how electronic assist worked, then there would not be a problem with the steering. Obviously, I need to explain in more detail. As I said in my first attempt to explain the problem, it is not
the car reaches 60 to 65 mph (if that was the case, I could understand what was going on), but after some distance at that speed. I wonder (I am guessing) if when the car senses no activity, such as on a straight-a-way where there is no correction going on to keep the car straight, then maybe the electronic assist shuts down to save on power for better gas mileage. Now, that's when the steering gets stiff. So when you need to correct it to stay centered in the lane, it takes more pressure to turn the steering wheel, then for an instant, the electronic assist kicks in, the steering loosens up, and the car darts in the direction you were correcting it to go. Then it stiffens up right away, so when you correct it back, the process repeats. So I find myself zig-zagging down the lane. Now I find that if I move the steering wheel back and forth rapidly for a few times (not swerving the car, just shaking the steering wheel left-to-right slightly) I can make the car stop acting up and it will drive fine...sometimes for a long distance, sometimes for a short distance. It's like I have to wake up the steering so it will respond normally without jerking when you try to correct it. I hope this is a better explanation of what's going on with the steering.

Spectrum analyzer software performs the signal spectral analysis tasks traditionally handled by hardware instruments. DSP System Toolbox™ includes the Spectrum Analyzer software component—one in a set of multichannel streaming scopes.
With spectrum analyzer, engineers visualize, measure, and analyze the frequency domain characteristic of evolving multichannel signals or streaming data in real-time during simulation in MATLAB® or Simulink®.
The spectrum analyzer software computes and displays the spectrum, power-density spectrum, and spectrogram for variety of signals and data types, including audio, biosignals, communication signals, speech, and streaming data. The user interface, features, and measurements are consistent with conventional hardware-based spectrum analyzers.
The spectrum analyzer software in DSP System Toolbox includes the following measures:

I have a layer of white fatty tissues bulging out of my eyelash bed underneath both eyes.
At the moment, it is mostly hidden behind my eyelashes but a line has formed underneath each eye below the fat bulges. I would like to correct this and pre-empt any further deterioration.
What treatments are suitable as I feel a full lower lid Blephroplasty may be overkill?
