I'm in the market for new work shirts. Any tips?
Budd, Emmett, Turnbull & Asser or Smyth & Gibson are my favourites. Thomas Pink or Hackett are more affordable go-tos. Your shirt should be fitted without putting buttons under strain. Collars that curl make my nostrils follow suit: see stiffies.co.uk for magnetic collar stiffeners. Ensure the proportions of collar, tie and lapel agree: a generously lapelled jacket requires a more substantial collar and tie (but no Harry Hill shirts). If you must monogram, be subtle: no one likes a show-off. Lastly, if you own a 'party shirt', have a word with yourself and check you're not suffering a mid-life crisis.

Bond's Barbour jacket
I badly wanted the jacket 007 wears in Skyfall when he 'goes shooting' in the Scottish Highlands. I wasn't the only one: Barbour received so many enquiries that this one-off has now gone into production. The Commander waxed jacket, £399, will keep you dry another day. (Sorry.)

Screen veteran Kieran Darcy-Smith (The Square, Animal Kingdom) makes his feature directorial debut with this ambitious non-linear drama centering on a group of Australian friends whose lives are irreparably changed after one of them goes missing during a spontaneous vacation in Cambodia. Alice (Felicity Price) and Dave (Joel Edgerton) are about to become new parents when they agree to join Alice's little sister Steph (Teresa Palmer) and her new beau Jeremy (Anthony Starr) on a sun-soaked trip to Cambodia. Their tropical retreat quickly turns bad, however, when Jeremy vanishes without a trace. As the investigation into Jeremy's disappearance begins to reveal the nefarious motivations behind their trip, the remaining three struggle to carry on with their lives in Sydney amidst the threat that even more damning details will emerge. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Daily Summary on USD, EUR, JPY, GBP, AUD, CAD and NZD
- IMF cuts forecasts for global growth
- U.S. consumer price data falls to 4-month lows
- Euro shrugs off weak ZEW data
- Plummeting gold prices weaken commodity currencies
USD – The International Monetary Fund on Tuesday shaved its projections for global economic growth for both this year and next due to sharp government spending cuts in the United States and the latest struggles of recession-stricken Europe. The IMF cut its 2013 forecast for global growth to 3.3 percent, down from its projection in January of 3.5 percent. It also trimmed its 2014 forecast to 4.0 percent from 4.1 percent. "Global economic prospects have improved again, but the road to recovery in the advanced economies will remain bumpy," the IMF said in its periodic World Economic Outlook. Meanwhile, the dollar weakened broadly across most major currencies as U.S. consumer prices fell in March for the first time in four months. In addition, the cost of gasoline tumbled, signaling muted inflation pressures, which could bolster the case for the Fed to remain on its very easy monetary policy path, despite divisions among policymakers to taper-off the asset purchasing program.
EUR – The euro continued its recent upward trend, shrugging off data showing a sharp fall in German ZEW sentiment in April, climbing to 5-week highs against the USD. The single currency remains well supported by investors and central banks seeking higher yields. Spillover effects from the decline in gold are opening the way for euro to test the 1.3270/1.33 targets again as investor appetite for riskier assets have waned.
GBP – Sterling remained rangebound versus the dollar, though it was under pressure against its European counterpart, falling to 1-month lows. British consumer price inflation remained steady at 2.8%, its highest level since last May, while lower oil prices suggested future increases in inflation may be muted. The pound remains vulnerable to concerns over global growth and upcoming data that may highlight Britain's own economic weakness. Investors are also wary of buying sterling before the release of the initial official estimate of UK first quarter gross domestic product data on April 25.
JPY – The Japanese yen weakened, giving up most of its gains garnered yesterday. The move came after the announcement that Japan's trade deficit narrowed with the current account balance increasing to a record JPY61.4 trillion, reaffirming that the BOJ's easing plan is starting to work. The IMF also revised its forecast for Japan, highlighting the BOJ's aggressive new monetary stance, stating that inflation in Japan will likely rise above zero later this year and temporarily push higher in 2014 and 2015. Look for the yen's recent rebound to be temporary given the more aggressive easing implemented by the BOJ with many analysts still expecting a near‐term test of 100. Investors will also closely monitor gold and commodity prices since another plunge could renew demand for the most liquid currencies such as the dollar and yen.
Commodity Currencies - Stronger-than-expected Canadian manufacturing data released today kept the loonie near session highs against the USD. The Australian and New Zealand dollars recovered some of yesterday's losses, though markets remained on edge. Investors dumped riskier assets as disappointing growth data from China hit commodities and stocks, while gold suffered its worst two-day loss in 30 years. Minutes from the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) April meeting showed the central bank felt the current level of interest rates was low enough to spur growth. Yet, it noted that headwinds such as cooling mining investment was likely to persist.

Heavy snow expected to pound Northwest Colorado
January 18, 2012
Avalanche danger
Monday's snowstorm increased the avalanche danger across Colorado, including in the mountains surrounding Steamboat Springs, according to the Colorado Avalanche Information Center. In the forecast posted Wednesday, the CAIC reported danger in the Steamboat zone, which includes the Flat Tops Wilderness Area, is "considerable on north, northeast, east and southeast aspects near and above tree line. The danger is moderate on south, southwest, west and northwest aspects near and above tree line as well as aspects below tree line."
With snowstorms back in the forecast, the CAIC forecasters reported avalanche danger in the Steamboat zone is expected to increase Thursday and Friday and "the Steamboat zone could go into an avalanche cycle by this weekend." For more information about avalanche danger, and to view a forecast map, click here.
Steamboat Springs — A storm system that was forecast to arrive in Northwest Colorado on Wednesday night from the Oregon coast has the potential to dump 8 to 16 inches of snow on Mount Werner and the surrounding mountains before it starts to clear Friday morning, the National Weather Service in Grand Junction forecast Wednesday.
The forecast office issued a winter storm warning for Mount Werner, Rabbit Ears Pass and the surrounding mountains Wednesday afternoon that continues through 9 a.m. Friday.
Ellen Heffernan, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said Northwest Colorado would see periods of snow through Friday morning while an energetic and moist flow from the Pacific Northwest covers Steamboat Springs. Forecasters predicted Wednesday afternoon that the Yampa Valley and downtown Steamboat would receive 2 to 6 inches of snow by Friday.
"The heaviest chance for snow in the mountains looks like it's going to be" Thursday night, Heffernan said, adding that the Park Range should see the brunt of the storm system over Colorado. "There is still some uncertainty as to how widespread the (snowfall) is going to be."
The Park Range extends from the Mount Zirkel Wilderness Area south to Mount Werner and Rabbit Ears Pass.
The Weather Service issued a wind advisory that called for sustained winds of 40 to 60 mph with gusts up to 80 mph above 10,000 feet Wednesday night. The wind was forecast to diminish Thursday.
Wind closed the Sunshine Express chairlift at Steamboat Ski Area at about 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, according to the resort, and Heffernan said a wind monitoring station at the Storm Peak Observatory recorded sustained winds of 25 mph and gusts of up to 44 mph Tuesday night through Wednesday morning.
Heffernan said another storm system forecast to arrive Saturday afternoon could bring an additional 4 to 6 inches of snow to Northwest Colorado through Sunday night.
"We have this flow that's setting up, and it looks like we're going to have periods of snow through this coming week," she said. "We've had such dry conditions here lately, but we're now starting to see a pattern change and more winter."

Prada offers 'see now, buy now' bags straight off the Milan catwalk
By Marie-Louise Gumuchian
MILAN (Reuters) - Italy's Prada blended military, nautical and 1940s looks for women next fall at Milan Fashion Week and joined in on the "see now, buy now" retail model by offering two new styles of bag at selected outlets from Friday.
Miuccia Prada, regarded as a trailblazer by fashionistas, mixed prints with luxurious fabrics to create glamorous, colorful, layered outfits, for her collection.
The designer, 66, put fur on sleeves and linings of check or leather jackets and cloaks, embroidery on slinky velvet dresses and played with an array of prints - cactus plants, flowers and fruit - on tops, skirts and dresses.
Brocade also featured heavily in the collection - namely in gold on jackets and skirts.
Dark coats reminiscent of an elegant military style were teamed with white nautical hats and thick tights. Dresses and slinky jackets had big shoulders, a nod to 1940s silhouettes, and some were worn with chunky, elbow-length gloves.
Nearly all looks were teamed with wide corset-like belts, tie-up boots, buckled sandals or peep-toe shoes and handbags, some with charms, others so small they were worn around the neck.
The brand, known for its luxury leather goods with handbags costing as much as 6,000 euros ($6,600), presented its latest addition to the its accessories range at the show: the new Pionnière and Cahier bags.
The small, shoulder-strap bags retail for about 1,750 euros and 2,400 euros respectively, with the round-shaped Pionnière inspired by hunting, uniforms and travel and the more expensive Cahier reminiscent of old book bindings and notebooks. Continued...

Notre Dame, Stanford familiar with each otherBy ANTONIO GONZALEZ , Associated Press
Nov. 28, 2013 12:26 PM ET
STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Even though his parents and younger sister showed up for Stanford's game at Notre Dame last year, Cardinal cornerback Alex Carter never felt his team had the full support of his family.

His father wore a Fighting Irish jersey and smiled after the home team's overtime victory.
"There's like some unspoken trash talk," said Carter, whose father, Tom, played cornerback at Notre Dame before being drafted 17th overall by the Washington Redskins in 1993.
In a rivalry between resurgent programs with strong academics and proud traditions, Carter is hardly the only one with ties to the opposing school.
There are all kinds of connections linking current players, coaches and administrators — along with a physical style on the field and a competitive spirit in the classroom — that create a scintillating subplot to Saturday's regular-season finale between the eighth-ranked Cardinal (9-2) and No. 25 Notre Dame (8-3) at Stanford Stadium.
"Both teams want to be the smartest, toughest football teams in the country," Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said.
Unlike last year in South Bend, both teams are already out of the national championship picture.
Stanford can clinch a fourth straight BCS bowl by beating No. 13 Arizona State in the Pac-12 championship game next week to book a return trip to the Rose Bowl. Notre Dame, with three losses, has no chance of making a BCS bowl and can improve its postseason destination only slightly.
Of course, pride is all anybody involved in this series needs for motivation.
"It's a fun game because you have the connections, family connections, and we all want to win it," said Stanford quarterback Kevin Hogan, who might have more bragging rights riding on the outcome than any player.
Hogan is the nephew of former Fighting Irish quarterback Coley O'Brien and tackle Ivan Brown. His father and sister attended Notre Dame, and he estimates between 10 and 20 cousins and about five or six aunts and uncles hold Notre Dame degrees.
"I just know there's a bunch," said Hogan, who grew up an Irish fan, attended dozens of Notre Dame games but never received an offer from the school.
Stanford right guard Kevin Danser's uncle, John Gallagher, played basketball for the Irish and roomed with quarterback Joe Theismann as a freshman. Backup center Conor McFadden has about eight family members who attended Notre Dame. And Stanford athletic director Bernard Muir worked in Notre Dame's athletic department from 2000-05.
Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick received his bachelor's degree in economics in South Bend before graduating from Stanford's law school. Tyrone Willingham coached at both schools. And former Secretary of State and current Stanford professor Condoleezza Rice, a member of the playoff selection committee that begins next season, earned her master's degree in political science from Notre Dame.
Numerous players attended the same high school, grew up in the same city and were recruited by both schools — which target top-tier talent who can qualify under some of the country's strictest academic standards.
Notre Dame wide receiver and captain TJ Jones and linebacker Doug Randolph originally committed to Stanford. The Cardinal lured linebacker Blake Lueders away from Notre Dame. The Irish also offered Carter a scholarship, but he said it came late in his recruiting process, and he preferred the more mild temperatures in Northern California anyway.
Spurning his father's college, though, makes this week a tricky one. Carter said his father will wear a Stanford jersey this Saturday, though what team he roots for remains in question.
"He hasn't really said anything to me," Carter said. "But come Saturday, it's going to be on."
Academics tie the schools together perhaps more than anything.
Notre Dame's 20-13 overtime victory against Stanford last year marked the first meeting between schools ranked in the top 20 of The Associated Press college football poll and U.S. News & World Report's list of best colleges. Both schools remain ranked highly in the academic report again, with Stanford tied for fifth and Notre Dame 18th.
While Kelly and Stanford coach David Shaw downplayed the recruiting battles between the schools, the series is critical for both to reach players.
The alternating home games allow each a chance to play more than 2,000 miles away every other year. That gives recruits an up-close look, families of current players from the area an opportunity to attend a game and coaches a chance to make distant visits during the season.
The teams first met at the 1925 Rose Bowl, when Knute Rockne and the "Four Horsemen" led Notre Dame to a 27-10 victory over Stanford. The programs have played all but two seasons since 1988 and plan to keep the series going.
"I think it's great for us. I think it's great for Notre Dame," Shaw said. "I think it's great for college football."

Escobedo to face Kelley!
Vicente Escobedo (19-1, 12 KOs) returns to ARCO Arena to take on former WBC featherweight champion Kevin Kelley (60-9-2, 39 KOs) on March 26. Escobedo, a 2004 Olympian, will be fighting in his fifth main event at ARCO Arena and his first fight back home since June 2008. "I really think Vicente is on his way," said Hall of Fame matchmaker Don Chargin. "During his last fight, he took on the best fighter he's ever fought. I think we'll have him fighting for a world title in six to eight months." Also featured on the card is southpaw Mercito Gesta of Cebu, Philippines (14-0-1, 5 KOs) versus an opponent to be named later. Gesta, incidentally, has expressed a desire to fight Escobedo so he'll be looking to upstage the former Olympian. Additionally, California super bantamweight champion Christopher Martin of Chula Vista (13-0, 2 KOs) will take on an opponent to be named later. Lower level General Admission seating is just $20. Tickets go on sale Friday at 10AM.

NEW YORK — The killing of Osama bin Laden during a raid by Navy SEALs on his hideout in Pakistan was the top news story of 2011, followed by Japan's earthquake/tsunami disaster, according to The Associated Press' annual poll of U.S. editors and news directors.
An 85-year-old Las Vegas man has been charged with bigamy after state police obtained evidence that the man had not legally divorced his first wife, according to reports.
Joe M. Olivas of 1210 Montezuma Ave. was arrested Tuesday. He was charged with a single count of bigamy, a fourth-degree felony in New Mexico.
According to the statement of probable cause, Olivas admitted to being aware that he was married to two women, saying he "was lonely" after more than two years apart from his wife.
The employees of Luna Community College will have to wait at least a little longer before a decision is made regarding raises.
On Tuesday, the Board of Trustees tabled a mid-year compensation increase as some of the trustees questioned the fairness of the proposed increase.
The board is now scheduled to take up the issue again on Jan. 14.

To all who are interested:
I have been looking for a rhinoplasty surgeon for a very long time. I have lived in many of the major cities on the East Coast, as well as in the Toronto and Chicago area. There is an abundance of surgeons in all these cities, and I was willing to have surgery in any one of these location, if I found the right person. I have literally spent the past several years amassing information on which surgeons would, and which surgeons would not, be professionals worth considering for my rhinoplasty. (So...after copious amounts of research on the subject —we're talking YEARS — I'm trying to say that I had very high standards for my potential surgeon's expertise, even though I was not expecting "miracles" from the rhinoplasty itself. Overall, I desired a small narrowing of the tip from the frontal view, as well as an improved lateral and oblique view. I had a small bump and a slightly asymmetric, relatively bulbous nose. I am of celtic background, and so, I have the traditionally thin, fragile skin and wide nose associated with this type of ancestry.) Now, let me explain the following crucial information: as my husband and I live in Boston, this rhinoplasty required long-distance trips in the car to work Dr. C. Thus far it has been totally worth it.
After having read the reviews on RealSelf about Dr. Ciardullo, I decided to meet him in person, look at his portfolio, etc. I brought my husband, as well, who has been enormously supportive of this entire enterprise. Both my husband and I knew, immediately after speaking to Dr. C, that we wanted him to perform my rhinoplasty. He was incredibly personable, talked to us for quite awhile not only about rhinoplasty but his other interests. (He did an undergrad in cognitive science, and was interested in the relationship between the mind and brain. This is interesting to my husband and me, as it relates to our own subspecialty in a doctoral program we are both in. Apparently, Dr. C. originally wanted to be a neurologist or neurosurgeon, though I can't remember which one ... He changed to plastics because, as he stated, "It seemed a far more diverse and interesting specialty, actually. I loved that I could such varied things..." Did you know that he even does reconstructive surgery on patients that truly need it — burn patients, cancer patients, etc. —while not running his "traditional" plastics practice? He shard this information humbly, almost reluctantly in some ways, but passionately. Now really, how cool is that?) I note these details in order to give a you a sense of who this man seemed to be (at least to me), as it was crucially important to me (and my husband) to be able to click intellectually and aesthetically with the surgeon I was working with. He just seemed... really human. (I mean that as the highest compliment.) He was compassionate, sincere, and wildly interested in everything.
Okay, but, while I think that being a genuinely good person is a pre-requisite for being a good surgeon, I'm not sure that being a good person entails that one is a good surgeon. (I don't care who disagrees with me about this....patient care, even if the care is an elective surgery, is always and fundamentally an ethical matter!) But, after viewing Dr. C's portfolio, and speaking with him about his expertise, I was bowled over by his work. In my opinion, he possesses a really refined artistic sensibility. This matters to me, because surgery — particularly cosmetic surgery — may be a so-called game of millimeters, but it is also not reductively so. Moreover, his aesthetic sensibilities really matched my own, and though he could articulate "why" one person looked better in a before than an after picture better than I could, it was clearly evident to both me and my husband that, within the constraints of own's personal anatomy, general laws of physics, and patient compliance, he could deftly turn a duckling into a swan. We *knows* a woman's nose. Moreover, he has the capacity to know it particularly and as a particularity of a particular face. As he mentioned to me, he doesn't slap the same nose on everybody, and yet, all of his patients seemed to turn out beautifully. (He may know a "man's nose," too, but honestly, I didn't really focus on these pictures with as much interest or detail.)
Overall, then, Dr. C seems to genuinely love his job, to be genuinely proud of what he does. And d*mmit, in my estimation, he really deserves to be. He said 80% of his practice is rhinoplasty; he does them almost every surgery day. It is not the usual "I do 4 in a month..." BS. He did, I think, 3 other rhinos the day I had my own surgery.
His staff has been excellent. His anesthesiologist was very, very good. I woke up with no pain, no nausea, no recollection of what had happened, no shivering, no general awfulness. My mother was a post-op nurse forever, and according to her, this is the mark of great anesthesiologist. Also, the rest of his team — Bobbie, Loretta, and a few others I didn't meet directly — were all fantastic. Loretta, in particular, was so wonderful to me the day of surgery that I gave her a hug after she walked me down to the car!
Now, a disclaimer: I should note that I am only less than a week out of post-op. This may invalidate my review in some people's eyes. Thus far, however, both my husband and I can tell my tip is GREATLY improved, in terms of symmetry and overall shape. (It's no longer bulbous, but this beautiful triangular shape — at least in the cast. Of course, it will swell when it's removed!) The recovery has not been painful. It's felt like a horrific cold (which, in itself, is understandably miserable while going through it). But from a long-term perspective, I think I will be ecstatic I did it. The cast come comes off in 2 days (so excited!). I will update again afterward.
Overall, an incredible and incredibly comforting experience. I have absolute confidence that, so long as I do *my part* in taking good care of myself, my face will turn out beautifully. (Again, I'm not striving for perfection here. But, in the cast, the base profile view already looks more aesthetically pleasing than it has ever looked in my life!) I thank my lucky stars (and obsessive researching) to have found Dr. Ciardullo!
(P.S. — don't be turned off by his lack of website. Honestly, I was weirded out by this, too, at first. However, I think he is nearing retirement age — though he looks as if he should be in his mid-40's! — and his practice is so bustling that he said to me, in all honesty, "I was too busy doing the surgeries to worry about promoting them. I build my practice by word-of-mouth. I have a website now, but still, I wasn't the one who thought about it or created it." So, I'm trying to give peace of mind to whoever asked that question about Dr. C's lack of web presence, or those who feel similarly perturbed by this issue.)
(P.P.S. I am willing to share photos, but I am shy about this. PM me if interested. Or even better, just go make an appointment and look at Dr. C's portfolio. He doesn't even charge for an initial consultation like most surgeons do.)

To all who are interested: I have been...
To all who are interested:
Sorry for the above typos and occasionally...
I just wanted to say that my cast came off...
My nose (after the cast came off) was really cute and petite. Of course, it's swollen like crazy in the past day, but I knew that was going to happen. As everyone says, it will go down in the next few months, and continue to improve over the next year.
I'm so happy! I will continue to update and answer questions, if anyone has them.
Ugh, to anyone who is (still) interested in the...
I experienced a freak-out earlier this weekend, accidentally having put (what I thought was) a lot of pressure on my nose right after the cast was removed. I was nursing a migraine (these are not unusual for me), while I was having an intense conversation with someone else, so I wasn't being — um, let's call it — "kinesthetically aware." Attempting to alleviate the pain of the migraine, I was pushing hard on the glabella above my eyes (I think it's called that?), something I do habitually during these episodes. It was like I forgot I just had surgery, and magically, that I was totally healed and didn't need to exercise any caution whatsoever about the ways in which I wanted to contort my body. (Cast off = I am invincible!) Um, no. Unfortunately, I was placing so much pressure on my forehead that my hand slipped down and hit the root of my nasal bone pretty hard. My husband and I both heard this slight "pop" sound, and we just stared at each other with our eyes widened, each of us thinking in tandem, "Nooooo!"
I really thought I had (re-)broken my nose. Since it was about 1am on a Saturday morning, I couldn't really call anyone, so my husband and I decided to watch it and see what happened. No bruising, no swelling, no *really* noticeable change (though it seems like my nose keeps changing on an hourly basis this week.) Monday arrived, and I called Dr. C. Even though he said I *could* drive down to his office and that he would be happy to examine my nose, he also said that I probably didn't do anything detrimental, given that there was no new bruising or bleeding or swelling. He was really, really nice about answering my questions and taking my call. Still, I can't shake the feeling that I probably ruined the whole operation, even though I've been trying as hard as possible to be a really compliant patient!
Anyway, I thought once the surgery was done, all my anxiety would melt away. Nope. Now I'm paranoid that I'm messing things up left and right! (For example, as I was typing that last sentence, I just, ummm, bumped my nose slightly against my coffee cup trying to take a drink. It hurt. Rhinoplasty is probably ruined. See what I mean...?)
I bought a softball mask that was really cheap online — one that you doesn't touch any part of the nose and protects your face from flying objects. My husband was like, "Seriously? You're just going to wear that around the house for the next month? You're nuts." Yes I am, and yes I am. But at least I know myself well enough to know that I cannot NOT be a klutz.
Anyone else experience anything similar or feel the same way?
Explained above. But, again, we'll see how my nose heals.

307 VIN 9: Need help
My 1990 Cadillac Brougham has a problem now. I tried to start it and it won't start. I took it to the Midas and they're telling me that the carb is bad. Bullshit! I just rebuilt the carb over two months ago. They also said that oil was leaking through the carb and the spark plugs are fried! What the hell is going on? What should I do?
Re: 307 VIN 9: Need help
Turns out it's not the carburetor. The timing belt must have fallen off. The compressoin might be an issue. I got the scoop. Well, I have to wait until tomorrow to get the full story.
Re: 307 VIN 9: Need help
My car is still dead. The distributor was pulled off and still can't figure what the hell is going on. Any ideas?

Re: 307 VIN 9: Need help
First, your car doesn't have a timing belt, it has a chain. If they told you it needs a belt, they're full of it. It MAY need a chain, but that's a different part. Second, there are very few ways for oil to get "sucked into the carb". The most likely is a leaking intake manifold gasket or crack in the aluminum intake. You would have been seeing massive oil smoke out the exhaust in that case. The other way is a bad PVC valve or breather, but that's very unlikely and very easy to test (and very inexpensive to fix).
Why is the distributor out?

Re: 307 VIN 9: Need help
I don't even trust Midas to do mufflers anymore. That info they gave you sounds like total BS.
Also wondering why the distributor was pulled. Now you have to ensure that the timing is not totally out of whack if it is re-installed.
If the engine has the plastic-toothed timing gearset then it is possible that some of the teeth sheared off = no start. However, a competent mechanic will be able to remove a valve cover and see if the valves are opeing/closing as they should and can also do a compression check. That will show if the timing chain/gears are OK.
A no-start condition can be almost anything but it boils down to checking for fuel and spark first. Is the carb getting fuel and are the primaries sending a shot of fuel into the carb when the throttle is opened. Ignition - are the plugs getting spark? It would have to be something like a coil meltdown in order for none of the plugs to work, a couple of bad wires and it will still run. Electronic distributors have modules in them as well that can go out = no spark condition.
Who rebuilt the carb and was it rebuilt to factory spec? TPS, float, and mix solenoid set correctly?
Re: 307 VIN 9: Need help
The carb was rebuilt to stock, all setting just right. My neighbor's telling me there's something inside the engine tha't causing the problem. It might be the crankshaft. I dunno.

Re: 307 VIN 9: Need help
Listen to Joe, he knows his shit.
The thing you forgot to tell us is what it was doing. A million things can cause a car not to start. Was it cranking? Did it start up for 2 seconds and shut off? Those are questions you need to tell us so we know.
Don't take it to Midas, they're full of shit. Take it to a dealership for the diagnostics; they'll charge you money to look at it but 90% of the time they do a good job with the diagnostics end unless the shop is shit and they just want to sell you on more service, which they always do. Failing that, take it to an old mechanic. Daves Automotive in Carol Stream is a good shop, although I've seen better.
Re: 307 VIN 9: Need help
It cranks, but it won't start. The pulley move really fast when I crank it.

I started losing my hair at 18...It went very very quick from there. At 22 I decided it was time to stop praying rogaine and propecia would grown my hair back. Like anybody in this day in age, I took to the internet to research my options. I was immediately very excited when I saw what hair restoration could do. Of course, you will see alot of people that claim they are the best. I then checked with trusted doctors and family friends in the area to figure out who would be a good choice.
It still amazes me that someone sifting through your hair can have absolutely no idea you had a procedure done. I had two sessions with about 2,500 grafts each time. The session is about 5-6 hours and uses local anesthesia, you feel no pain, just like someone is touching your hair. You can watch TV, listen to music, talk to the Dr. and nurses in the room. They bring in lunch for everyone, your choice from the local area by UCLA. Then you go home, sit on the couch and relax. There is minimal pain for which you are prescribed medication. Dr. gives you special shampoo and medicine for your hair to improve the healing process. You go back to get your sutures out 8-10 days later (which are covered by hair, you literally can't see). Then you have a follow up 6 months later. Growth starts around 3 months and by 6 months you are in full bloom. 100% of the growth takes place by 1 year, but 80% should be there by 6 or 7 months. It is worth your time to go and meet Dr. Rawnsley, he changed my life!

Batched On Site Association Appoints New Chairman
The Batched on Site Association (BSA) – the UK Association for Mobile Batching Plant Operators – today announced the appointment of a new Chairman, with a new Agenda to take the organisation into 2013.
The Batched on Site Association
The BSA was launched in 2007 to represent the interests of companies operating Mobile Batching Plants (MBPs). MBP machines come in a variety of specifications but their fundamental distinguishing characteristic is their ability to batch produce products such as concrete, screed, foam, 'trench fill', 'cold tarmac' and mortar on demand at the point of delivery. The UK batched on site sector is now estimated to be worth £150 million per annum (10% of the total UK Ready Mix market) according to BDS Marketing, with an estimated 500+ vehicles in operation. Since its creation in 2007 the Batched on Site Association has grown to represent 40+ operators.
Technical Innovation
Chris Smith brings with him more than 20 years of experience in the Batched on Site sector and a history of technical innovation with Mixmate. The company's Conqueror Vehicle is one of the most sophisticated machines in the marketplace, delivering weighed materials on site courtesy of the machine's on-board computer system. The company earlier this year also launched a pioneering new Screed Pumping Truck – a machine which allows for the delivery, mixing, and pumping of screed from a single vehicle. With his experience and technical insight, the Mixamate MD provides a leading industry figure to spearhead the future growth of the organisation and the sector:
"I am extremely proud to have been chosen as the new Batched on Site Association Chairman," said Smith. "This is a challenging time not only for Mobile Batching Plant Operators but also for the industry as a whole, and as niche operators we face particular regulatory challenges that need to be addressed. I hope over the next year to bottom this out, make a drive to increase membership, and broaden the Organisation'
The new Chairman also brings with him good relations with the Construction Plant Hire Association (CPA) and the British Aggregates Association (BAA), which he hopes to strengthen even further on behalf of the BSA:
"The industry is stronger united, and in working together we are able to ensure greater standards for our members and their customers. The Batched on Site sector is the fastest growing sector in the Concrete Industry, and I am delighted to take the helm of the Association in such exciting times."
About the Batched on Site Association
The BSA was launched in 2007 to represent the interests of companies operating Mobile Batching Plants (MBPs). With a National membership of 40+ operators including companies such as Mixamate, Eastern Concrete, Master Concrete, Armcon Ltd., Easy Mix Ltd, and Green Circle Concrete Ltd. (Scotland) the Association is committed to promoting high industry standards, legislative and legal member support, and providing the latest information within the UK Mobile Batching Plant sector.

A pregame interview with Andy Sonnanstine
A pregame interview with Andy Sonnanstine
Many times in baseball people down play the results of spring training, managers do, players do, but you guys had a great spring training. How important was it for you guys this year? ANDY SONNANSTINE: I think it was really important. You know, we came out and set the tone with a good record and came out and really kind of bought into what Joe was selling. We were kind of chuckling about the 9 = 8, but it really turned out to be true. And as long as you have the key guys like Cliffy and Percival backing it up, we all just kind of followed.
ANDY SONNANSTINE: Any time you go up against Beckett, he's such a good starting pitcher, that you know it's going to be a dog fight, and you know that runs are pretty precious. As far as building it up, that's one of the things that I think I do well is just keeping even keel and just go about my business and stay to my game plan and work towards my strengths. First question is how much will those September games be of benefit to you going into the environment here tomorrow? ANDY SONNANSTINE: It should help me a lot. You know, build up my confidence a little bit, knowing that I can come in here and do well against the Sox here and Tropicana Field. So I know in my mind that it can be done. I think it was pretty essential for my confidence. Since you're such a man of many words, can you describe Joe Maddon for us from your perspective? ANDY SONNANSTINE: From my perspective? (Smiling) Well, he's one of the most intelligent managers I've ever had. I was a little worried last year about him being so positive. It was a rough year, and he stuck with it and kept our heads up, even though it was a real rough season. He stayed the same this year. Positivity kind of ran through the clubhouse, and he's a very infectious person. Like he wants you to do well, and he gives you confidence. You can tell when he goes out and talks to J. P. Howell that it helps him out a lot, too. How inspiring has what Rocco has gone through been for you personally and been for the team in general? ANDY SONNANSTINE: It's amazing. You know, something, an issue like that, it's completely out of his control. I've had talks with him and Ruggiano in spring training when he was thinking about stepping away from the game, and that was a pretty tough time for him. You know, he did everything he could to see as many doctors as he could and try to figure this situation out. When I saw him come out and play in Safeco, it was awesome. It was like watching a son go out and play, everything he's been through and dealt with. It's just amazing. It speaks a lot about his character to just get through it and persevere and get back to playing. Courtesy of FastScripts by ASAP Sports.

Why does my cat love to lay or sit on cardboard
We have a play pad with a corrugated cardboard center. She will lay on it play on it and when we play she need to have a paw on it.
We got a cardboard sleeve in the mail and she loves it. The play pad is her safety spot.

Some of those corrugated scratchy pads are infused with catnip--maybe your's is also. It could also just have a smell or a feel to it that she really likes. Cardboard also retains body warmth and she may like that as well.

Some cats like different things. Izzie gives some good reasons. Cats also get attached to some strange things they like. She will probally outgrow the need to have this as a safety spot someday.

Erosion & Typography 2by Jason Permenter
American Apparel Zip-up Hoodies and Pullover Hoodies come in a variety of colors and sizes. Complete with kangaroo pocket this stretchy, comfortable fit, unisex cut includes double-stitched cuffs and hem.
Why? I'm a geologist turned designer, so it only made sense to combine both worlds. This print is second in a series of four, each of which explores the effects of erosion and weathering on the printed word.
The text itself is taken from a 1971 essay on experimental typography by the German designer and typographer Wolfgang Weingart, and is set in the Univers typeface. Univers was designed from 1954-57 by Adrian Frutiger, and is completely bad-ass.

|Thu, 01 Nov 2007 23:21:18 GMT
Thanks for your time Craig. In regards to the various listener and callback interfaces... yes, I have looked at these somewhat. I'm aware of two, the InstanceCallbacks interface and the InstanceLifeCycleListener interface. These mechanisms almost do what I need, but they are missing one thing. Specifically, the callbacks come back one object at a time. I want to respond to a transaction commit in the following way: first: refresh / evict the corresponding instances of the changed objects in a separate "read-only" PersistenceManager. second: notify any interested listeners that the data in these object has changed. If the callbacks come back one object at a time, I can't evict all the objects before making callbacks. This may well mean that the listeners will have to redo whatever work they've just done, since the data in the other objects is just about to change. There is another performance penalty here too... a listener who is registered with my code to receive notification when, say, any object in Foo.class changes, will receive a callback for every changed Foo object in a tx, when just one callback might do. If the listener is responding by recalculating an expensive cache, this could be a significant performance hit. Note that PersistenceManager has both "refreshObject", and "refreshAll(Collection)", which seems to be a nod to the fact that providing many objects at once can offer a performance gain. There is nothing corresponding to this for the calls coming back from JDO. If we added a "getManagedObjects" to the PM interface, or a "getEnlistedObjects" to the Transaction interface, you'd be set. Now you can accomplish a bulk response to changes by simply listening for, say, a transaction commit event, asking the tx for it's enlisted objects, and doing whatever needs to be done. Thanks for your consideration.

The problem is that the midi messages get both to the QC, the GR and the VST instrument itself.
Configure your axiom to send CCs that you don't expect to see on a VST or if you can, have it split to multiple midi inputs. Try CC 101-108 for QCs. Worked for me with the Axiom 25 we have in class.
I have a Roland A500Pro, which has the cool bonus that it appears as two different devices. I've set the keyboard and pitch/modulation as Device 1 and the rest (knobs, faders, transport buttons) to Device 2.
Device 2 is routed to Generic Remote (btw, if you use the GR, just map the QCs there instead of in the VST Quick Controls).
If you can't do that, map the buttons/knobs to a different midi channel (Ch16 for example), and filter them out on the midi / instrument channel input transformer.
And another P.S, Cubase has undocumented support for Soft Takeover / Catch mode if you fiddle with the GR some. Let me know if you want that and I could help.


text: Having sit in a courtroom during the trial of one of my brother officers in which Mas was the expert witness...I'll stick by him. He knows his stuff and few if any others out there can bring what he does to the witness stand. He made an entire prosecutors team look incompetent. Granted, in this case it wasn't that hard. The case involved an officer shooting a knife weilding attacker who was advancing on another officer from about 15 feet. I'm not going to go into any more specifics but that officer and many others (including civilians) that were involved in justifiable shootings owe their freedom and lives to the man. He is top notch in my book.

Where to have 106 Miles meet-up on June 8?
Liz Bugarin stashed this in Fixitfixitfixit!
Stashed in:
So I got the ok from both the BBC and Illusions, both for the fine price of free. Does anyone really care about which one we end up at?
Also, do people really want colorful name tags? I don't want to waste my time thinking about it/blogging about it if people don't find it useful.
I've never been to Illusions before. Could be fun. How many people can meet there?
Also only about 50 of the 1800 members of 106 Miles are on this website right now. Will eventually get around to inviting more...
Pros: Overall I think Illusions is bigger and better, and Ulysses was super excited when I mentioned we were a monthly gig. I also mentioned how B412 had let us bring in food for catered events, and while he wasn't to thrilled about letting us access their kitchen (most places with them seem to want us to use their food from their kitchen) he said they would be ok with us bringing it in from elsewhere...
The pros of the BBC is we can be outside, which will be nice for this month and maybe July, and then the Bay Area goes back into cold winter nights mode.
I am thinking though that they would be a good place for smaller flashmob 106 events, so I don't want to completely say no to them. I like the idea of us being an exclusive upstairs event.
Colorful name tags/blog *has been written*!
Cool. Could we try Illusions without bringing outside food to see what their food is like?
I just added 50 more slots for people to RSVP at Illusions on June 8: http://www.meetup.com/106miles/events/16549252/
What is the capacity of Illusions? Are we breaking fire codes for Palo Alto?
300-450 is what their website says...and I told them we usually have a crowd of about 100 people. If we want to pack them, I suppose we could?
Also, we'll have access to their kitchen :)
Ahhh also I'm still Tom and not Liz!!!
But now, you're back to Liz and all is good. Looks like we'll have 210 or so people at Illusions on June 8.
I'm back to Liz, and all does seem good for now. Illusions should be fun!
Meetup requires nametags but they do not require them to be colorful. Color is a Liz innovation...
Color isn't really an innovation I can take credit for, it was something some members suggested might be a good idea so I decided to try it out on the group. For better or for worse, it stuck because people remembered it...
Also...I'm not sure what I did, but I seem to be both myself (Liz) and Tom Annau! Or maybe I'm really Tom Annau, and Liz Bugarin is my alter-ego?
I knew you were a superhero! Srsly, tho, we're investigating this bug.
This has thrown me into quite an existential funk, to say the least. Regardless, whoever/whatever I am, it goes without saying that I'm some kind of awesome!
...and you can see the colorful blog post here:http://106-miles.posterous.com/beyond-black-white
On a related-to-this-thread-note: I'm still trying to figure out how I briefly became Tom, since I'd really like to change his profile picture back to his original picture and not have my face be his face. I feel like a jerk for changing it when I didn't see it was my account...
Liz, we have not been able to replicate the Tom bug, so we put more reporting in place in case it happens again. If you do see it again, please share the steps to replicate the bug.
In the meantime I loved your post about being beyond black and white, and I tweeted it.
Is this the Liz who is looking to jettison the immigration law stuff she does? Liz, how can you ask a question so imprecise and full of assumptions and expect to get great quality answers :-) ???!!!??? :-) Come one, you make no mention of where BBC is and where Illusions is. You merely assume everyone knows where these are. (BTW -- make sure you attack me verbally, and with visceral vengeance, when you see me)
Anyway...I happen to know where they are (but I'm just letting you know that your question wasn't a properly posed one.)
Well...I'd say Palo Alto. Why is there all this hype about SF? It's hilly, rowdy, more expensive, less suburban, a bit too glitzy yet dirty, certainly more hectic, not as safe, and just plain not 106. I feel -- like people -- entities and events need CHARACTER. Ask Larry Ellison or Facebook. You can also ask Adam Rifkin. And character = predictability and zero-compromise when it comes to certain things. And location, is just one great example of how to signal the calibre of one's character.
Illusions is at 260 South California Avenue in Palo Alto.
We'll be meeting there Wednesday, June 8, 6-9pm. See you there!
Oladayo, sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures, and I wanted a quick and easy answer so I asked a fast and simple question, hoping that those who'd answer would understand the gist of what I was inquiring about and overlook the lack of precision and verbosity that usually exemplify the standard interactions most come to expect when dealing with lawyers and lawyer-type folks (note - I don't think I qualify as exactly a lawyer, yet, I just spend more time than most around them). I recognize that it's likely a personality flaw that I continue to hope that people will be kind and read my mind to some extent, but it gets me through my day and keeps me somewhat sane so I don't think it's a habit I'll break anytime soon.
With that said, I was inquiring specifically about the two Palo Alto venues because we had to find a new one (due to the B412's closure) and fast, and in my lack of foresight I cast a wide net and got a yes for two venues. The hype about SF is due to our outgrowing the venue we'd been using up there, and given that we're trying to meet several times a month in several parts of the Bay Area so all our members can drop in at one time or another, it made sense to us to choose a venue up there, too. Personally, I think another signal of a person's character is their ability to be adaptable.
Also, I doubt it'd ever be the case that I'd attack you verbally, it's sort of my signature trait to be kind :)

Baking soda & apple cider vingear question
If you use baking soda, do you NEED to use ACV ? Or is there another alternative?
Will my hair frizz out if I use the baking soda and then a regular conditioner?
Baking soda raises you hair's pH and opens your hair's cuticles. Without an acidic rinse, hair will be rougher and more easily tangled. That's why you need an acidic rinse to lower your hair's pH and seal the cuticles. ACV is an acidic rinse but not the only one. Lemon juice, vinegar, and other things that are acidic can lower the hair's pH. Why don't you want to use ACV? If it's the smell, you can use white vinegar or some other vinegar that you like that doesn't have bad ingredients added into it. Lemon juice works, too. I'm not sure about conditioners, but I think I read somewhere that they are usually acidic, but not all of them.
Baking soda cleanses, and it also opens the cuticles (that's great for low-po hair). ACV helps to restore the ph level, conditions the hair, and closes the cuticle (something low-pos don't need help with but we need the other two benefits).
I use this combo as a clarifying wash occasionally. I only recently learned that bs opens the cuticle so last time I decided to do bs/conditioner/ACV/LI. It seemed to work quite nicely.
So excited bc I have Bs and Acv. Now I have to find out to properly use them to reao the benefits

So I did the BS and ACV and it did so well in my hair! It came out shiny and soft. Do this!!!!

Has anyone tried a vinegar rinse without baking soda? I heard that oil and vinegar seals moisture in, if you do a vinegar rinse, can you still use an oil to seal? Is it better to use oils that are said to penetrate (like olive, coconut) before or after rinsing with vinegar? Just wondering.
Had amazzzing results. Used baking soda, then conditioner to try to get moisture in, then rinse with ACV to close cuticles again and LI for styling. Shiney, defined curl, soft and moisturized, and VOLUME. WOW! I seriously think I went from 2c to 3a just from using this method. Thanks again!!!
Call me nutty, but when I use baking soda I typically skip the ACV rinse because my hair feels good without it. I do mix my baking soda with conditioner so that lowers the ph. I'll try vinegar tonight though to see if there's a major difference.
How often do you all do these??
I find myself wanting to do them often. Like once a month or more. My hair just feels so awesome afterwards. I do have very hard water so maybe I just need the clarifying more often.

I use baking soda and ACV every time I wash, so every 5-10 days roughly.
Question, does any one find that it lathers? On blogs I always read how it doesn't lather and it does to me every single time and I'm feeling kind of weird about it. I snapped a pic yesterday of how it looks.
Is that normal? This is with 1TB of baking soda and 8oz of filtered water.
I do think I figured it out...it seems like it's mixing with an excess of sebum and dead skin cells, which I have always produced a lot more of. I can reproduce the lather on my face (to a lesser degree) if I wash/exfoliate with BS/water too.
Also if I reapply the mixture a second time on my hair/face, ta-daa! No lather. This kind of makes me feel like a sheddy, oily household pet but whatever. Lol. Thanks :happy11:
Rizos, don't you find the BS is too harsh. I myself use 4 tbsp aloe Vera gel with 2 tbsp each honey and apple cider vinegar in lieu of shampoo. I saw recipe online and I like it.
Harsh as in squeaky clean, or drying maybe? I've read of others who experience dryness after but I suspect that they may not be following with apple cider vinegar. Have you used it after the BS?
My hair seems to respond to BS well, even my face does. I've never tried anything based on aloe vera because I'm afraid of the protein (which all plant extracts have) but maybe I should try the combo on my face. Seems like whatever sends my face into panic mode does it also on my hair. And that last sentence really shows where my priorities are...lol.

Like lots of curlies w/hard water I was pro-shampoo, but I think you may very well of converted me back to full CG again.:cheers:
The best part was how fast my hair dried-usually it takes a good 30-40mins just to diffuse. The whole process w/shower and drying time only 1 hour!
Here are the results (first 1 was when hair was only 80% dry the other 2 completely dry and SOTC).
Wow I so want to to try this your hair looks amazing!!
I definitely want to try this...I have such low porosity hair and also have well water...so i end up cleansing my hair every couple washes to help with build up...but this sounds more promising....how much baking soda do I use per cup of water...and how much ACV?? And what order would I use them...I gather I first wet my hair...remove the tangles...then apply the BS rinse...then use my GPB conditioner. ..then use the ACV rinse...then LI and my okra gel??? Did I get that right??? Do I leave them on my hair for a certain amount of time?? Hope someone responds so I can give this a try 2nite;)

Months later looking at this thread again I find the comments interesting! I actually asked my DEVA stylist about this last night. She said that baking soda is good for a "start over" once in awhile and ACV would work to restore natural balance, but not to do it all the time or as a normal routine.
I know this is an old post, but when I do the baking soda wash I never use ACV and always use conditioner. I tried it with BS and ACV but I felt like my hair was greasy or heavy or something. I also tried just the vinegar, and it worked, but pretty soon it felt really gross. I've also been daring and tried just the baking soda and it was a DISASTER.
Doesn't it make sense for us low porosity girls to just use the baking soda? The BS opens up your hair, allowing the conditioner to actually be soaked in. When I cowash it just sits there, but with the baking soda my hair feels soft and moisturized. It doesn't make sense to put vinegar on it since our hair doesn't need any help closing up!
That's been my experience. I have low porosity, high density, thin hair. Baking soda plus conditioner has worked for me!

HARMONY — David Zimmerman scored a goal seven minutes into the second half to lift 12th-seeded Indiana to a 1-0 win over fifth-seeded Blackhawk in a WPIAL Class AA first-round boys' soccer playoff match Monday at Seneca Valley High School.
"It was an awesome match," 18th-year Indiana coach Todd Myers said. "We felt like we were the underdog and the pressure was on them. The longer the match went scoreless, the more it worked in our favor. We just kept putting more and more pressure on them."
Indiana's Peter Short made a nifty pass inside the penalty box to Zimmerman, who dribbled to his right and then bent a shot with his right foot into the upper-right corner of the goal.
"It's a shot he's done several times this year," Myers said of Zimmerman, who scored a school-record 20 goals in the regular season. "We had been pressing for a little bit. Good players come up with great goals at the right time. David just coolly collected Pete's pass in the 18. He then turned, beat a defender, and then put another defender on his heels before taking his shot."
Indiana goalie Corey Denlinger made six saves.
The Indians, who won a first-round playoff match for the third straight season, broke a school record for wins with 15.
Indiana (15-3-1) takes on Shady Side Academy on Thursday at 8 p.m., at Mars High School.

Tell the truth: are there some old, partly full paint cans taking up room in your basement, crawlspace or garage? Once a home painting job is completed, one of the things that should be done right is the disposal of leftover paint. Any paint that isn't going to be kept on hand for possible touch-ups down the road should be dealt with responsibly, to ensure that your home remains free of hazards.
Getting rid of old paint (colours that are no longer on your walls) not only saves space, it eliminates confusion when searching for the right colour. Correct methods of paint disposal also mean that the environment doesn't suffer as a result of a laissez-faire attitude or careless accident.
Responsible Disposal of Oil-Based Paint
- Check the label to see if it contains lead or any other hazardous materials. (Some older paints require hazardous waste disposal.)
- Remove the lid and let the paint air dry. To speed things up, you can stir in some sawdust, clay cat litter, or other absorbent material.
- Deliver the paint cans to a suitable facility. The City of Vancouver website includes a link to Product Care, where you can easily locate the nearest appropriate disposal depot (http://www.productcare.org/BC-Paint-Program)
Caution: Do not pour oil-based paint into a drainage system or directly into the ground, and never ignite or bury paint cans.
Properly Disposing of Latex Paint
- Save it for a later project. Latex paint can be stored, mixed and reused. If not the exact colour you need, it can still be useful as a base paint or to cover interior surfaces that won't be seen. Seal cans tightly and store upside-down in a cool, dry place, making sure it is out of the reach of children and pets.
- Community paint recycling programs. If you don't have use for your leftover paint, someone else in your area just might. Schools and municipalities may have programs to collect paint and use it on community projects.
- If you or someone else doesn't have a use for the paint, you can dispose of it in a plastic container filled with clay cat litter or scraps of paper. Let it dry, and throw the contents of the container away with the regular trash. This possible because latex paint is not considered toxic, so doesn't have to be treated the same way in that regard as its oil-based counterpart.
- Pouring paint into a drain is a no-no; it can damage pipes and is harmful to the water supply. Likewise, it is hazardous to the soil if paint is poured into the ground.
- To get rid of a larger amount of latex, you may want to consider purchasing waste paint hardener. Always read and follow the instructions carefully.
Recycle empty paint cans by letting them dry completely before recycling them with other metals. If you have an inch or more of dried paint in the bottom of the can, however, you'll need to toss the whole can in the trash.
Additional Tips for Home Painting Follow-up:
- Consider donating the paint to a local theatre group, for example, or a charity such as Habitat for Humanity that can use leftover paint.
- Mix a quick-drying concrete product and combine it with no more than two litres of the leftover paint. Mix thoroughly and pour into forms to create pastel stepping stones for your yard or garden.
- Use your mixture as a base coat for future home, painting. Depending on the colour of the final coat, some neutral shades can work well for this.
- If you mix lights with lights or darks with darks, the combination may be just fine to paint a garage or basement laundry area, for example, where coordinating colour with décor is not a concern.
Homeowners should always keep on hand a supply of the new paint to be used for future touch-ups, of course. Or even if come touch-up time the paint is old and has "gone off," the lids tell the tale as far as the specific colour code you will need to get some more. In other words, any paint still visible in your home should have samples or codes on hand in order to make a match.
Don't hesitate to ask if your professional Vancouver painter handles leftover or excess paint responsibly and according to local rules.

04 Jan The Kitchen Finale… Finally!
This Christmas break has given us a bunch of extra time to work on projects around the house. It felt great to get moving on the house again since it's been a while since we've done anything big! We decided to tackle the kitchen and finish it up… if you remember, we left off after painting the brick and cabinets, but the rest of the walls were still dirty, stained, grungy "white". Or yellow, really. We had actually already purchased the paint and everything, so this stage of the kitchen was almost free!
The majority of what we needed to do was finish painting the ceiling, walls, and trim. I also finished the floor by stenciling on it, and I love the results! I don't know if I would have had the guts to do the floor stencil if this was our "forever" kitchen, but since this is a "live-with-it" stage until we can do a whole gut job, I went for it! I'm so glad I did! The floor was probably the most tedious part of the entire kitchen update. It started with peeling old linoleum off of the plywood subfloor, which of course required very nasty chemicals to get all of the glue off. Then it needed to be wood puttied, sanded down a bit, and finally primed and painted. This part of the process has been done for a while, but we needed to wait until the rest was done to finish the painting and stenciling part. I'm glad we waited – the floor got pretty scratched up moving things around, and it had more than a couple paint drips on it!
There are just a few minor details to still finish up, but here is our kitchen as it is right now!
We purchased our fridge from the Sears scratch and dent in Lawrenceville. It's a Whirlpool, and we really like it. I love having the freezer drawer on the bottom! We didn't get a french door fridge because we were afraid the door handle would hit the wall on the right side. We also didn't want a water dispenser in the door so that we'd have more room on the inside.
The red letter "N" above is from an antique shop down the road in Tarentum. You can also see above how we replaced the old cabinet and stove hood with a new microwave and a shelf to hold pretty fiestaware dishes. We were able to find the microwave on craigslist, brand new. Our oven and dishwasher are from a local store called Good Housekeeping, which I would highly recommend. We purchased a Frigidaire Pro stove with induction and electric cook top, and convection or conventional oven. Our dishwasher is also a Frigidaire Pro, and we've been extremely pleased with both of them.
In the few months since we decided to stencil the floor, I've been searching high and low for a stencil to use. The only place I found that sells large scale stencils was extremely expensive. So I decided to make my own :) I used Adobe Illustrator to create the design, then I printed it out and transferred it on to plastic used by quilters for their templates. I cut it out and voila – my own custom stencil! I was very pleased with how it all worked out, and I saved a TON of money by doing it myself. For the colors, I used gray on gray. I actually just used the same floor paint (Valspar floor paint in gray) but mixed in a little of our white trim paint to get the lighter gray color.
You can also see the pot rack in the picture – it's a Grundtal shelf from Ikea, with s-hooks allowing the pots to hang. We desperately needed the storage – our kitchen is fairly small (which also makes it difficult to photograph).
The artwork above are two vintage pieces … one is the instruction manual for my mother's old Sunbeam mixer, and the other is a cookbook found at a friend's house which had been left by a previous owner. I love that both of them worked perfectly with the color scheme! You can also see the curtains in the room… I actually made them with a flat twin bed sheet from Walmart with red trim sewn on (from Jo-Ann's). The curtain hardware is from Ikea. The wall color is Palm Springs, from ACE hardware. It's their Royal brand.
Above shows the detail on the red trim. I actually just machine-sewed it on – it took no time at all!
Obviously the biggest impact in the kitchen was just paint, paint, and more paint. I don't think we left a single surface untouched! We use Purdy paintbrushes for all of our painting, they are by far the best that we've used. Typically when we paint, I cut in while Jared rolls. I've found that Purdy's angled brushes are perfect for this, my favorite being the Cub XL brush. I've been using the same Cub XL brush for months now, and it's still holding up great. Purdy recently provided me with a set of paintbrushes to review, and I give them 2 thumbs up for great brushes that are long lasting and perfect for all of our needs!
So there it is… the kitchen is FINALLY done for now!! There are always a few minor things we need to do, but I'm very pleased with how it all turned out.

Seasonal Color Analysis: Another Beautiful Deep Autumn...
Deep Autumn Makeup...
All of the makeup needs to have that burnished quality that represents the deep autumn coloring. Very dark brown eyeliner, dark brown mascara, rich warm brown eyeshadow, red or red-orange or orange-brown on the cheeks and lips.
But I know Tami is ready to bring it. For the rest of us, here's some encouragement, whatever your season.
"Rise up to being who you are. In the beginning, right colour can feel like a disguise. In no time,the colours will have convinced you of your truth when nobody else could."~~Christine Scaman
I am planning to link up today to Glamamom for this week's Monday Mingle and to Not Dead Yet Style for Visible Monday. On Wednesday, I will link up with Lindsey at The Pleated Poppy for What I Wore Wednesday and Melaina at Transatlantic Blonde for What I Wore Wednesday.
NOTE: I will be taking the month of December off from the weekly linkups and from doing virtual color analysis, but will be back in January. I'll still be posting here a couple of times a week, though, so drop by and say hello.
For those I might not see in linkup land, have a wonderful holiday season!!

"When we find the set that enhances you above all the others, what we have really uncovered are the exact pigments already in your skin, in your body. When you then wear the colors you already are, you look like magic because your person and your attire is sending the same wavelength of energy to the viewer." ~~Christine Scaman, 12 Blueprints
