Focus on the one-off installations and events — the fantastic structures, wonderful (or even weird) workshops, talks with stellar casts and pop-ups filled with people to meet and things to buy — but will all too soon be popping down. And the four biggest shows launch tomorrow.
© Alex Lentati
At 100% Design, go to Chockablock, a 190ft-long bar of jazzy Turkish ceramics and lose yourself in the PaperSpace Hub with its clever cut paper shapes. At 100% Norway in Dray Walk, E1, is a magnificent 10ft-wide glowing "sun" disc by visual artists Christine Istad and Elizabeth Pacini that magically mimics the real thing as it moves across the sky.
Don't miss the Endless Stair wood sculpture on the South Bank, and go to the Festival Hall to see the Mathmos — the largest lava lamp in the world. At the V&A, sparkle under the huge chandelier of multi-coloured, hand-blown glass globules cascading from the dome, drift through a white paper sculpture of turning windmills and tread the cork fantastic on a floor that mimics tile mosaic.
Global focus
More countries than ever are at the London Design Festival to showcase ideas, designers and wares — it's design tourism without leaving London. Trawl the globe at 100% Design where "country pavilions" include France, Germany, Argentina, Australia, Italy and Korea, plus Russia, Slovenia and Portugal. And big brand Epassio shows beautiful furniture from Brazil.
At Tent, find Shapes of Hungary (with its quirky pixellated chair) and Fresh Taiwan. And Young Creative Poland is staking out the newly renovated Ognisko Polskie (Polish Hearth Club) at 55 Exhibition Road, SW7, with the celebrated Art Yard Sale coming in from Warsaw (artyardsale.pl/eng).

Meet and greet
Who are the people behind the names and brands? Find them in person all over the festival, ask them questions and put your point of view (I like to get my purchases autographed).
Michael Anastassiades is opening his 18th-century town house (completely designed by him) with its studio and shop in Lower Marsh, SE1, kitted out with his latest "string" lighting for the giant Italian brand Flos (from tomorrow until Sunday; book on email@example.com).
Talks and seminars
Bone up with new ideas, latest issues, expert views and a chance to add your own two-pennyworth. Make new design friends. The major shows have the best talks programmes of any festival yet — check them out via londondesignfestival.com.
At designjunction esteemed curator Aidan Walker has pulled together a heavyweight platform, with speakers from the Design Council, the Sir John Cass Faculty of Art, Architecture and Design, the V&A, and Wilkinson Eyre Architects to discuss Scale Models: Architecture, Urbanism and Product Design tomorrow at 4.30pm.
Saturday talks at 100% Design are in a cool space — called AMASS — designed by young Londoner Benjamin Hubert from a web of interlocking plastic strands. The structure will be broken up and given away from 5pm onwards.
Talks include We Blog Design (1.30pm), and The Joys of Getting Real (2.45pm) — a new humanistic design approach from Fixperts and Sugru. Design buffs should catch Iconic Finnish Houses at 3pm.
Events and special ticket offers
Designersblock (SE1) and designjunction (WC1) open tomorrow and are free until Sunday September 22. Tent (E1) also opens on Thursday September 19 but costs £10 to go in. 100% Design (SW5) opens today (Wednesday September 18 but is trade-only; the public day is Saturday September 21 (£15, but print this page for two-for-one tickets). Visit verydesignersblock.com; thedesignjunction.co.uk; tentlondon.co.uk; 100percentdesign.co.uk.
For exquisite one-off wonders, sadly at a price, explore the Super Design Gallery at Tent. See folded lights in thin copper sheet by Dutchman David Derksen, the glittering Stellar console table with 900 individually faceted mirrors by Londoner Jake Phipps ("inspired by amethyst geodes") and the ethereal Yumi Chair with its flowing wood veneers. And colour-cast fragments of glazed stoneware are chugging around a 33ft-long conveyor belt, to be assembled into crazy lamps and candlesticks by Soderlund Davidson.
Plan your week
The "design districts" split the Festival into walkable chunks — with late nights on September 18 at Fitzrovia Now (W1) and on September 19 at Brompton Design District (SW7).
Saturday September 18 is a great day to do the South Bank with designersblock and the Festival Hall. And Sunday is good for the East End, with the Shoreditch Triangle masterminded by the SCP in Curtain Road. Pick up its newspaper map, then swing by glam Lee Broom in Rivington Street for an open-house for a new swish shop. Finish up at Brick Lane's Sunday September 22 market and Tent with its "swing tag" Sunday when designers will sell stuff at big discounts. Along the way, try to fit in the Clerkenwell and the Chelsea design quarters.

Re: Mapping GPS data
Hello, This looks interesting but I can't get it to work, apparently
because of line-breaking characters inserted in your code by the time

I just had my last treatment of Sculptra yesterday. I am still massaging my face of course-5x a day for 5 days. I love it, I have had no complications at all. For the money spent, you really need to listen to the directions from your doctor! I am 40 years old, and have little body fat, so sculptra was an excellent option for me. I will let ya know how the next few months turn out.
Yes, Sculptra is Worth It
I just had my last treatment of Sculptra yesterday...
They are excellent and well educated in the field of injectables and fillers.

A December Holiday Playlist (No, Not That Holiday)
Today, Dec. 5, is the day Congress repealed Prohibition back in 1933. To celebrate, John Schaefer recently spent some time with Colin Spoelman of Kings County Distillery, sipping whiskey and playing songs in praise of a great American pastime: legal drinking.
All of this drinking and thinking reminded us that while there are other holidays in December, the entire month has been pretty much co-opted by Christmas. (And maybe November too.) Even outside of the less-often sung about Hanukkah and Kwanzaa, Christmas is hardly the only holiday on the calendar in need of a good anthem or two.
Here are a few suggestions that should have you covered for most of the month.
December 14: Monkey Day
I did not make that up: Have a look for yourself at the official Monkey Day website. It makes perfect sense to cue up a monkey-themed song and get to dancing. You'll be dancing the Monkey, obviously.
Playlist pick: Major Lance, "The Monkey Time"
December 15: Bill Of Rights Day.
Cool. I like rights.
Playlist pick: Devo, "Freedom of Choice"
December 16: National Cover Anything with Chocolate Day (a.k.a. weekdays)
I'm not sure why we need permission, but, hey, chocolate for everybody!
Playlist pick: Bruce Springsteen, "Cover Me"
December 21: Winter Solstice
This is the shortest day of the year, so you might not have much time to pick out a chilly, solstice-appropriate song day-of. Now you'll be prepared.
Playlist pick: Nico, "Winter Song"
December 26: Boxing Day
Here's what I didn't know about Boxing Day: Everything. But what I have learned from the Internet is that Boxing Day -- celebrated in the U.K., Canada, Australia, among others -- was originally a holiday in which tradespeople and servants would receive gifts from their bosses. As a person who has had a boss or two, I fully support this. However, over the years, the holiday has turned into your basic day off. Celebrate.
Playlist pick: The Go-Go's, "Vacation"

Wheel Well Rust/Body Filler Help
1 Attachment(s)
I am working on a 1988 ford escort and I've been trying to repair a formerly very rusty wheel well . I know the metal would have been better off replaced but I do not have the proper tools, so I began to fill it with good old body filler.
I've spent about a week sanding off and reapplying filler and no matter how many times I continue to do it it seems to have low indents in every area I had thought to have filled. I'm not quite sure what I am doing wrong, I am adding the proper amount of hardener to the filler "a thick strait line across" and I've been using a sanding block with the proper X motion and 180 grit sand paper "for fear that the heavy grit sandpaper was the calprit of the filler removal"; after redoing the work 6 or 7 times I'm dumbfounded as to to why it refuses to fill the low spots. If anyone could please help me out it would be greatly apperciated. Thanks for future posts.
Picture is before I applied filler, but basically looks the same as it does there just with cheap primer over it.
As you've probably been told, unless that rust is cut out, it WILL come back. The only temporary solution I can suggest is to use a rust neutralizer like One-Step, lightly sand, then use a high build putty mixed thoroughly to remove air bubbles- DON'T STIR RAPIDLY! The method you are using seems fine, just don't sand it all off- it sounds like you are going too far every time if it is wavy or has low spots. It is a small area and you should be able to fill that in two applications. Take your time and remember- 'rust never sleeps'- it will come back if not removed, especially on a driver in the elements. Good luck!
id use metal to metal body filler, should hold up on rusty surfaces better.
Rough it up with coarse paper and when you use a sanding block, use the whole block and sand down from top to bottom holding the block at about a 45 degree agle but flat and covering the whole pillar.
If the inside of the wheel well is rusted, chances are in a few years the subframe of your car will be the next to become rusty.
2 Coats
Put the filler on and then apply a white primer and then a red primer. As you sand, true low spots will have both colors of primer. This will also help you to know if the problem is YOU. Too much pressure on the block. As was said, remember rust will come back. Going to put a 5K paint job on it? Hmmm. Look ahead.

ESCORT.........Who the h*** fixes up an Escort?
Hey, whatever. The other poster had it right, they are a rustbucket. But if you must, use metal filler, or short strand fibreglass.
Body(bondo) work is a bit of an art. It takes practice to get it smooth. I stink at it too and Ive been doing it for 35 years.
Yep the first time you drive when the road is wet, it will bubble up and fall out, but that's what keeps guys like me in business. No more than you are mixing at a time shouldn't take but a couple drops of activator.
Stop sanding just before you think you have gone far enough, and feather it in at the edges.
You should have been able to coat the whole car in a week.lol
Good Luck

I've done my 91 Escort GT twice in the last five years, only because we've hit four deer with it. The insurance company totalled it the second time, and I bought it back for $100, repaired it myself, and pocketed a $600 profit. The last two hits were minor, so I'm driving it as is. If it really got banged again, I would junk it because the underframe is rotting. In the meantime, I'm squeezing every last dime of value out of it. It's got 173,000 miles, runs smooth, and burns no oil.
Thanks for the posts and I will use this given knowledge on less rusty areas. As for the wheel well, I've just decided to learn the hard way and attempt to cut it out, my father brought home the gas welders so I am going to see just how terrible I can make a simple project. "Rust never stops" so I guess whats the point of wasting my time if theres no means of success. Thanks again
As for the fixing up the escort quote, no offense taken but "all great idea's have to start somewhere" lol.
Sounds like you are willing to learn and that in its self is good. Careful of the gas torch. Have extinguisher available. Lots of heat warps metal. Gas is good for small area fixes. ARC is done .75 inch at a time to keep heat down. Arc is the better of the two.
Post some pictures if you have the time.
hr41pearl :cool:
It is good that you are willing to learn and try things, everybody has to start somewhere. You will learn something about doing bodywork, get your practice in and when you move on to bigger and better projects you will know what works and what doesn't. The first car I ever painted was a Ford Fiestiva, then a 86 F150, etc... and finally my 71 Mustang and I will tell you doing those other vehicles before I painted my Mustang taught me alot. Hang in there and let us know how things worked out. :thumbup:
Thanks for the input I will keep you updated on my attempt at body work; may take a while though with winter and my quick car project, needed for something else to drive while i do this. As for arc welding i've heard all about it from my dad, he yells at me anytime I plan to do something out of the ordinary; meaning pretty much he doesn't agree with gas welding either, lol. He was saying winter would weaken the welds, as to why I don't know but his advice has never failed me before, so I assume he is correct. Not only that but kerosene heat I'm sure doesn't add to the safety level of the project. But I really don't have much of a choice when I can't afford much. At one time or another I was thinking of using a 2 part epoxy on the backside of the metal lol.
As for my get around car that I purchased for this project, it is very similar to the one i'm working on. Its a Ford Escort Exp; I purchased it really cheap for that fact that it had a blown head gasket and torn ring gear on the flywheel. Although I didn't know this at the time I decided to purchase it anyway for a little mechanical knowledge. I found the head gasket to be really easy especially when you have all the replacement parts in your room (cheap spares for my other escort, heh). As for the ring gear my father helped me "ghetto" it together by grinding it down to make the teeth ridged again, I couldn't afford replacement parts nor do I have the knowledge to mess with transmissions. Regardless though it should hold up for a while and it was very fun to learn some new stuff as well.
But I'm mainly looking forward to starting some body work and welding my misguided hand to the panel, lol. Oh a cool thing about the Exp is that it has a manual transmission and a multi-port injection head; maybe in time I can find a way to swap these between cars, after I learn a little more about electrical and modification of course.
Sorry for the long post, but thanks for the interest and input and I will keep yah updated.

Ford F350 AC only blowing through defroster vents
My 2004 F350 diesel started blowing air out of the defrost vents only. I'm wondering if something is simply stuck or if it's a bigger issue?
Some of these on newer vehicles have electric "actuators" which will "resynchronize" themselves when power is removed, then restored.
With the vehicle off, try removing the fuse or fuses to all the A/C, fan, HVAC, etc. gizmos, wait about 10 minutes, then replace the fuses.
Then start your vehicle and DO NOT touch any buttons in the vehicle for 1 minute. You may hear the actuators moving and resynchronizing themselves.
Then see if it works.
If you must, remove a battery connection for 10 minutes, but that may cause you to lose radio and other settings. Also vehicle emission stored information. You many need to drive for several days at different speeds to get that information back into the emissions computer and then be able to pass a vehicle emissions test. No biggie if you do not need to get an emissions test any time soon.
If that does not solve the problem, then you would need a factory service manual set of books to troublehoot and replace an actuator. Or go to alldatadiy.com for the same info.
The diesel version of these trucks use an electric vacuum pump, without vacuum the heater defaults to the defrost for safety. You may have a bad fuse, pump or broken vacuum line. They also use vacuum to operate the locking hubs on 4x4 versions, a leak in parts of that system can rob all the vacuum.
***the defrost position is the 'default' no vacuum door position***
Yep most likely vacuum issue. Key on engine off you should hear the vacuum pump running. Located on right fender liner. Common for broken lines too.
sounds like the blend door actuator, just repaired mine in a 02 silverado, not bad at all to do.
Great suggestions guys! I'm gonna check it all out & report back. Thanks!
Had this happen before, vacuum line leak on the SOF 4x4 system. When the front hubs were swapped out for Warns (all three have them) a vacuum line was never properly sealed with a couple years later sprung into a bigger leak which caused the heat and air to only blow out of the defrost. The leak was a simple fix.
Got three of these trucks with a combined miles of close to 800,000.
All have the SOF 4x4 system and all have had issues. To do over again would get the floor activated old fashioned bullet proof 4x4 system. When you go aftermarket hubs you gotta lock them in anyways.

Leaner workforce after layoffs? This will help get the job donePosted on Written by Mary Elston
Every month the calendar seems to serve up a holiday or other occasion that provides a good excuse for enjoying a fantastic meal. After these adventures in caloric overload, you begin to strategize how to compensate for them.
Diet fads are the rage. Consumers voraciously devour the latest promise for easy weight loss with no work or sacrifice. Its like losing something that costs you nothing except the $89.95 plus shipping and handling to purchase the magic diet pills.
Get real. You know the drill. If you want to weigh less, you have to work out more and eat less, and thats where strategy and commitment come into play.
While overeating may dictate the need for a personal diet, economic issues often dictate the need for companies to go on a people diet in the form of layoffs. As a manager, how do you continue to get the work done with a smaller workforce? Just as you do when youre embarking on a personal diet, you need to commit to a strategy that works for your business and keeps you moving forward.
Lets look at three approaches to layoff decisions and how youll accomplish the same amount of work with fewer people.
1. Prioritize: This sounds relatively simple, but thats exactly why it isnt. If managers are asked to prioritize the value each position contributes to company revenue, their responses often are a mixed bag. The big-hitting salespeople are easy keepers, but what about everyone else? This is where there has to be honest, business-based soul searching. Layoffs should be number-driven, yes, but with strategic managerial thinking layered on top. High-level managers must prioritize positions to maintain product flow, sales and service, marketing, customer relationships and accounting practices to process money and keep an eye on costs and cash flow.
Managers should ask themselves and their team leaders these questions before reducing head count: What activities must be maintained to generate revenue and keep the business competitive and thriving? What positions must be in place to enable these activities? What activities and related jobs could you live without and still keep the business healthy and viable?
Do you have the answers? Not so fast.
How many of you put marketing on the live without list? If you did, youre in good company with a majority of managers, but its still a bad move. Companies big and small tend to cut marketing first and forget its the function that helps drive sales and customer relationships and keeps your business name in front of the buying public. Dont make this mistake. Keep your key marketing players in place, even if the team needs to be slimmed down. Give priority to the functions and jobs that generate money and keep customers coming in the door.
2. Be smart: The math is simple: After a layoff, you have the same amount of work to accomplish with fewer people. Hmmm does that mean those who are left will be working longer hours? Will some work just fall off the table? Whats your strategy? How do you manage smarter with fewer people?
You may be tempted to quickly decide what work should continue and who should shoulder a bigger load. Before you do this, conduct a confidential planning session with your team leaders and validate work that needs to remain intact, interdependent tasks and key skills, along with employees who have those skills. Part of managing smart is performing a skills assessment before the layoff occurs. This will help you do something else focus.
Make it a point to focus on skills and essential tasks that can be performed by multi-talented workers who can expand their loads. After conducting a skills assessment, Im always amazed what skills are available across the team but arent utilized.
How do you perform the skills assessment? Be proactive. Each employee should have a work history and résumé on file with your human resources department. This should be updated with annual performance reviews. Input from your team leaders will help, too.
Now that youre aware of your bench strength, youll be able to manage smarter by freshly evaluating who can perform different types of work. This will help manage the workload with fewer people and will enable you to adjust work assignments more effectively. Before and after the layoff, look seriously at your organizations structure. Are there ways to restructure that build efficiency and provide better collaboration across groups or departments? Strategize how structure changes might reduce previously accepted redundancies and bring continued success with fewer workers.
3. Be nimble: When you face tough layoff decisions, keep the future in mind and maintain a nimble approach to bringing back talent when you can. Of course layoffs should always be implemented with diplomacy and empathy for departing individuals, whether theres a potential to bring them back or not. This is the right thing to do and maintains a positive tone for everyone. Being nimble may involve trimming the payroll and retaining talent by converting full-time people into part-time employees or independent contractors. Some employees may balk at this option; others may find it acceptable until they can be hired back full time or find other employment.
Can you think of other ways to be nimble? Some work may be outsourced or hired out. Another alternative is to split one job into two. This can be viable with two people who agree to share a position that is being retained, rather than lose either of their jobs completely. Job sharing can open the door for more flexible schedules as well.
When job sharing is applied, youll want to make sure its with individuals who communicate and coordinate well with one another. That way, you keep shared job functions running smoothly.
After shedding pounds on a personal diet, you need a maintenance plan to stay in shape. This is also the case after a people diet when the layoffs are behind you. Make sure your adjustments to priorities and structure are working well in short, youre generating revenue, servicing customers and keeping your business moving ahead. If thats not the case, look problems in the eye and fix them quickly. As conditions improve, you may be able to hire back a valued employee (like grabbing a chocolate chip cookie or an extra beer on that personal diet). Diets are hard; people diets are even harder. Make it a point to revisit priorities on a regular basis, and continue to be smart and nimble. Do this and the next time things get tough you may be the manager who wont need to go on a diet at all.

How to be a Programmer
by Robert L. Read
Publisher: Samizdat Press 2003
Number of pages: 58
The text is primarily concerned with social situations and team relationships that occur in typical software development. The author tried to cover what he considers the essential, often non-techncial, skills of the beginning, intermediate and advanced programmer. To the beginner, it may be a peek into the culture of the software engineer; to the advanced programmer, it is an opinionated review.

Sweden turns trash into cash
Sweden has an unusual problem - not enough rubbish.
With a strong tradition of recycling and incinerating, it now has too many waste-to-energy incinerators and not enough rubbish to meet demand. It has become Europe's biggest importer of trash from other countries, currently mainly from Norway.
But as the European Union seeks to reduce the dumping of 150 million tonnes of rubbish in huge landfills each year, Sweden sees a chance to import more waste from other EU states too.
"It sounds almost foul to be importing waste, but the import to Sweden is not a problem. The dumping in landfills abroad is a huge problem," said Weine Wiqvist, head of trade association Swedish Waste Management.
Sweden is not the only EU country importing trash - Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands do too. Germany is the biggest in actual amounts, but as a share of rubbish burnt, Sweden is the leading importer.
Many European states need to find ways to quickly get away from waste landfill to comply with tougher EU waste handling regulations in a 2008 law.
Eastern Europe is currently the biggest landfill sinner, but Britain and Italy are among countries that also need to change to comply with the EU law and Sweden has already started importing from them.
Sweden last year imported around 850,000 tonnes of combustible waste, and was paid to do so. In all, it incinerated 5.5 million tonnes.
Energy and waste consultant Johan Sundberg at Profu said he estimated that based on announced plans for increased incineration capacity, Sweden's waste imports will more than double to some 2 million tonnes in 2016.
Swedish imports of trash leaped in the late 2000s when waste supply from financial crisis-hit firms took a dive, leaving heat and power (CHP) plants and heating plants with spare capacity. More plants are under way.
"They have been built to be able to take on waste from other countries. It's a strategy to replace other types of fuels with waste," said Sundberg.
Burning other countries' waste is kinder to the environment, experts say. Landfills cause a large share of global emissions of greenhouse gas methane.
"If you incinerate one tonne of Italian waste in Sweden you get 500 kg CO2 equivalent less emissions than if it is dumped in a landfill in Italy. That's a substantial reduction," Sundberg said.
Nearly none of Sweden's combustible waste ends up in landfills. Half of it becomes fuel for producing district heating and electricity. The cold country is well-suited environment-wise for burning trash for energy.
Its many CHP plants, connected to a large district heating grid, capture up to 90 percent of the waste's energy, much more than in pure electricity generation.

This is a discussion on Ammunition Spreadsheet within the Defensive Ammunition & Ballistics forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; use this, it is all in one: http://www.defensivecarry.com/forum/...my-gun-db.html...
Yep I use spread sheets for loaded ammo inventory, reloading components and firearms lists. I keep my reloading components and ammo inventory sheets on a clip board so its easy to add or subtract primers, powder, bullets, brass and or loaded ammo. Once I get enough on the sheet or just feel like it I will update the spread sheet and print off a new copy. All it takes is a quick look to see if I have powder and primers to load something and how much brass I have versus digging around in 30 ammo cans to see what I have.
I also keep a press log on a spread sheet to keep track of my loads and when they were loaded plus a sheet for each caliber I load for to keep a loose track of componet cost and what it costs to load ammo.
My above sheets also update a master sheet that is sized for a wallet card that I print so when I see a good deal on componets or other I items I can take a quick look and see if I really need them or if they are in fact the size or weight I am using. Memory is not as good as it once was. I only print a fresh wallet card maybe twice a year depending on how much I buy or shoot.
Maybe I'm OCD but I do like the label maker as well.

Project Description2001 RADA
Renovation / Merit
Before its remodel and addition, this project consisted of a 1930s cottage, a garage/workshop, and a root cellar. The buildings lacked any unifying organization, and the small cottage had tiny rooms, bad windows, and lousy heating. "The cottage was plain and looked good from the outside," says architect Thomas Meyer, "but no one cared about the inside."
His plan called for a new integration and relationship among the little buildings, and a new master bedroom addition. He stripped the existing structures just enough to allow substantive changes, including a new kitchen, entry, stair, fireplace, and bathrooms for the cottage. He converted the root cellar into the master bath/dressing area and connected it to the master bedroom addition. And he tucked a caretaker's office and another bathroom into the updated workshop/garage. New windows help link all the structures visually.
"The buildings have a New England quality," says Meyer, who likens them to a "village of gabled roofs." The judges called them "playful and sweet"

A Note about Passwords.
In order to get onto the Parent Portal parents must enter an initial Portal Code, Portal Username and Password.
I have found there may be some confusion in determining exactly which letter or number choice is correct on the district generated Portal code sheets. Try the following:
"l"on you pass codes may actually be a capital "i" , an "l" as in like or the numeral 1 (one) Try each one to see if it works. Similarly, 0 and O are also problematic. While in some print they may be distinct on Realtime system the zero and capital "o" may appear the same. Try both combinations. Need help? Don't hesitate to call us at school.

Shigofumi 01
Shigofumi doesn't seem to have been what I was expecting from it and I'm happy with that, because it makes this show interesting.
The first episode is about Shota Machiya, a rocket enthusiast, who's in love with Ayase Asuna, a friend of his whom he got to know while trying to launch rockets on a building rooftop. The story starts with Asuna's father being found dead and Shota subsequently meeting with Fumika, who's tasked to pass Asuna's father's shigofumi to Asuna's lover. Shota is supposedly the recipient, but he denies going that far with her. Fumika leaves, but Shota stops her, saying he'll confess to her after launching his rocket.
Fumika hangs around with him for a while, waiting for the rocket to be complete. The rocket is completed, but before it's launched, Shota discovers the shigofumi and reads it, finding out that Asuna was actually the killer of her father. Shota doesn't believe it and goes to meet Asuna, trying to confess, but he's interrupted by Fumika. In the resulting commotion, Asuna stabs him and proceeds on to stab Fumika as well, while Fumika comments that the dead are more trustful that the living.
Well, sudden plot twist already at the first episode. I certainly didn't expect that to happen after all the development in the episode. My interest was definitely piqued and I can't wait for the second episode. Ending at a cliffhanger at the first episode is so :P.
Haven't seen Kana Ueda in a lead role for a long time, and it's refreshing to hear her in such a serious tone. Some speculate she's been playing too much Halo recently, explaining why she hasn't been voicing much, LOL. Yuki Matsuoka's voicing of Kanaka is also full of vigor, no wonder I kept thinking of Tsuruya-san a bit.

2012-09-18 - The following is the fourth of eight installments where bassist/vocalist/lyricist Grutle Kjellson and rhythm guitarist/songwriter/lyricist Ivar Bjørnson of the Norwegian progressive extreme metal band ENSLAVED offer insight on the tracks to their twelfth studio album, ""RIITIIR"", due out in Europe on September 28th.
Kjellson on "RIITIIR" Track #4, "Roots Of The Mountain":
"One of our greatest friends in The States tends to use the term 'Epic as f**k' to describe something grandiose and this is the closest I get to describe this song. Yes, it sounds pompous, but I´ve always said that our goal is to make our own favorite music, so why be sober or moderate in the descriptions? I remember that Ivar came to the rehearsal place and put on the demo for me and Cato [Bekkevold, drummer], and we got totally blown away! In the middle of the second listening, Herbrand [Larsen, keyboards & clean vocals] appeared, looking genuinely confused, and I thought: This is a good sign!!! He is usually the Rock-structure alibi in the band, so to see that he was a bit worried really satisfied the rest of us. Of course, he also ended up loving the song after digging into the matter and started working on the arrangements. This song has everything one can ask for in an ENSLAVED song: aggressive and old-school metal riffs, a pompous chorus, and progressive passages. It also includes my favorite guitar solo on the album and shows [lead guitarist] Ice [Dale]´s talent for transforming almost FM-rock solos into a monstrous extreme metal inferno!! I love it! I can even find inspiration from our good old countryman Ronni LeTekrø from TNT here - one of the bands me and Ice tend to listen to on our days-off on the tour bus if we have been drinking one or two barrels too much. The lyrics are, again, inspired by different mythologies/philosophical systems around the world with mutual ways of approaching the search for the ultimate answers. When you seek truths and answers, you rarely find them where they would logically appear. It is sometimes important to go with the flow and accept the reality as-is, and thus find the truths in the end. The roots of the mountain will appear for you if you use the eyes of the eagle in the sky…well, maybe it will."
Bjørnson on "Roots Of The Mountain":
"This is probably the most strange and diversified songwriting I've done in terms of the surrounding circumstances. The main themes came crashing down on me at the most impossible times for me, beginning with being in transit for ENSLAVED concerts in late 2011 with no instruments available and utilizing rather primitive programming on a Smartphone. I had no choice but to put the ideas down somehow (I'll see if I can include a sample of the horrible MIDI-sounds on the behind-the-scenes DVD accompanying the release), ending with writing in the home studio in the hours before the most important night in my life [when Ivar's first child was born. –Ed.]. Dramatic stuff that resulted in dramatic music! At some point in the song, I can hear myself drawing influence from newer King Crimson and then Von within the same minute - that's got to be slightly unusual. The ending turned out quite epic. Co-producer Iver [Sandøy] played a vital role in shaping the final production for that part of the song; I will always be thankful for his introduction of both the Taurus bass pedals and SH-1 mono-synth-line on this track! Finally, I love how Grutle's mythological lyrics for this song play out in a very filmic language - particularly when the singers do their 'duet' on the end part. It turns out you can sing about eagles in the sky without any traces of cheesiness, as long as you actually know what you are talking about - which no doubt Grutle does."
Read past commentaries on "Thoughts Like Hammers," "Death In The Eyes Of Dawn," and "Veilburner" on the ENSLAVED Facebook page.
"RIITIIR" was recorded in Bergen, Norway at Duper Studios, Earshot Studios, Solslottet Studios, and Peersonal Sound. At Fascination Street Studios in Örebro, Sweden, Jens Bogren handled mixing duties while Tony Lindgren handled the mastering. The team of producers includes ENSLAVED's very own Ivar Bjørnson, Grutle Kjellson & Herbrand Larsen, plus Iver Sandøy.
"RIITIIR"'s track listing is:
01. Thoughts Like Hammers
02. Death In The Eyes Of Dawn
03. Veilburner
04. Roots Of The Mountain
06. Materal
07. Storm Of Memories
08. Forsaken

thanks guys.
I got the back window in. what a job that was. I went yesterday and bought some black speaker box carpet. after I chopped the inner skin we wrapped it with the speaker carpet, we also wrapped the front inner windshield wiper motor cover. kinda temp screwed the rear inner back window cover in.
I never installed a back window, the glass guy told me to use a 1950's chevy truck seal. we used windex to lube the seal to get the window in. we were about all the way in but the window wouldn't center its self into the cab. 6 hands pushing both ways and we popped it inside the cab and had to start over. beak time I called out. we regrouped and switched to wd-40, that was working well until we popped it into the cab about half way around, break time again. after 3 hours and on the last try we got it in along with the locking strip and its over with. I think my thumbs will be sore for a week or so.

10 Tips To Setting Powerful Intentions
There can be several guidelines to be aware of, in the setting of intentions. When applied cohesively, they can be extremely helpful in bringing your intents to fruition powerfully.
(photo by deb roby)
In the setting of intents, should you have missed the date 11-11-2009 altogether, you wouldn't want to miss out on the coming one – 29.11.09 (add up 2 and 9 – then 11 – then add up 2 and 9 again). As I have shared in a previous post on intention setting, the triple-eleven combination of 11-11-11 has a particular magic for manifestations. The last time that presented a triple-eleven number was in the year 1901.
Based on my on-going experience with setting intentions, here is a summary of tips I have picked up that I would like to share with you:
1. Set Intentions Powerfully. Be clear and specific. Know what you want, otherwise you send out conflicting intents.
2. Involve Visioning. Instead of just visualization, consider incorporating visioning. Don't know the difference? Here are some quotes from The Vision Board Book, to help in your understanding:
"Visioning is a self-exploration process that involves a combination of "soul searching" and meditation, and even incorporates improvisation techniques."
"Visioning differs dramatically from visualization. Visioning is a process where your soul reveals your heart's desires, prompted by a circle of like-minded supporters who add their insights. Traditionally, visioning is a group exercise. Visualization is more often an individual technique where you picture a desired outcome or goal."
3. Align Your Intention. My experience has been that making intents for pure egoistical material fulfillment seldom works out meaningfully for me. I would continue to be in a state of discontent, with mostly negative experiences. While universal laws should work every single time if we apply them properly, my suggestion is to align intent with a higher purpose.
Your higher purpose invariably involves how you can best serve others while being true to yourself. You will be surprised how much universal support you garner when you bring a greater spiritual meaning to your physical experience.
4. Connect Emotionally. This is no longer a secret with all LOA (Law of Attraction) students. Create your intent in an inner environment of emotional connection. Connect with how it feels with already "owning" the desired intent.
5. Obey the 68 Second Rule. Hold the intent in your being for at least 68 seconds. Don't know why? Read my previous post on 68 seconds miracle.
6. Gratitude Now. Be in the state of gratitude when making the intent. Acknowledge your current blessings. Acknowledge with a thank you for what-is-to-come, as if you are already in receipt of it.
7. Work with Your Resistances. If you notice a resistance, work with it first and then go back to set the intent. Surely you would not want to end up manifesting the tail enders or find yourself in self-sabotage?
I had continued to update my personal vision board in the last two weeks. While working on it one day, I started to notice a resistance inside me. Gradually, I recognized it to be a fear of living up to my full potential. Setting higher intents triggered an unease of moving out of my comfort zone. I started to recall this quote by Marianne Williamson which I have often come across……
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
Needless to say, I found myself in an afternoon of doing inner release work right after recognizing my resistances.
8. Practice Art of Surrender. Surrender the "how". Avoid getting into the mindless activity of wondering how the universe is going to bring your intent to manifestation. Have every trust that what you asked for is being worked on. The art of surrender also requires you to be non-attached to the outcome of your intent.
9. Have Gap Awareness. Have an awareness of the gap between what you are asking for and what you already have. If what you are asking for is a huge jump, do not doubt that it is not possible but at the same time, expect that you would need more time in bringing yourself up vibrationally to match the frequency of your intent. Then again, as I have read in metaphysics books, quantum leaps are very possible in the world of energy. So manifestations can be even in an instant if you manage to bring yourself into a vibrational match! What helps is also working on your beliefs!
10. Signify Your Intention with Immediate Action. This tip follows point 2. Set your intents to work by following up on your visioning process. There are a lot of action ideas that you can take. According to a number of LOA coaches, it is important that you take the obvious actions signifying your intent to the Universe. Here are some:
– If you are making the intent for a romantic partner, you may want to look into picking up extra weekend activities that allows you to meet someone.
– If you are making the intent for a new car to take you to work, you may want to look into passing your driving test first!
– If you are making the intent for a new house in a new location, soak up the atmosphere by moving there or driving round the new neighborhood regularly first. (Currently, what I am doing :-))
– If you are making the intent for more money, make space for creative ideas to drop in. In short, taking time out for meditation can be helpful!
1. Get Your Antenna Up. I always tell my friends/clients that the Universe may have already been responding to their requests physically not longer after they have made them. The problem is that they are not getting their antenna up. I call this "the antenna of awareness". Don't have fixated ideas of what the Universe is going to send you. Be simply aware and open, while keeping your mind focused on the qualities of what you have asked for.
2. Art of Setting Intention. As you can probably guess by now, setting intents is an art. It is not traditional goal-setting. It has been an adventure for me in getting all the elements together! When my intents are not manifesting, it is finding out which areas I have missed out on in getting my vibrations up. Universal laws always work! No doubt about it. The question is really on how properly I have applied universal laws or whether I am in resistance to something.

secondary air pump problem
i have question about secondary air pump delete. I have a 06 wrx but recently have CEL codes about secondary air pump. I want to pass emission to renew my tag. My question is can just map out the CEL codes so the ecu won't read it and don't even need to change for the block off plates. All i need is to pass emission to renew my tag.
You can turn off the CELs for it. As far as passing emissions I don't know. Where I live we are not tested. If you decide to do a delete here is a link for it.
[url=http://www.kstech.biz/servlet/the-Air-Pump-Delete/Categories]Results for Air Pump Delete[/url]
Can i just disable the codes without replace it with the block plate?
Yeah you should be able too.
You can't just disable the CEL without going through ATR on your AP.
If you just clear the code, do it around the corner then go get inspected. You might luck out and it won't come back on.
i cleared the codes but it comes back with in 20 miles of driving. SO everytime i clear the codes my readiness is reset and i still can't pass emission with my readiness not ready. All i need is not to have CEL and get my readiness ready so i can go through emission. Disable the secondary air pump codes without changing the block off plate would harm the car? ### right the valve of secondary air pump is already failed (stuck open) so disable the codes only would help pass emission?
IIRC, they will allow you to pass on (1) not ready. <-- I could be misinformed
Disabling the code won't harm your car. I know it's irritating. Get the block off's in the meantime and get an AP. Or get an OS tune and have the tuner delete the codes.
Tell me, do they actually plug into your OBD2?
My tuner turned off my CEL via opensource. Car ran fine with codes diabled with the air pump still on. Deleted pump a couple of weeks after the codes were turned off.
sweet deal thanks for the great replies that answer my question. I'm not too sure about install block off plate on wrx 06 though is there a great write up with picture on remove air pump on wrx 06?
btw what is is the list of CEL Codes need to be disable?
ATR will only give you several to choose from. There are 4 I believe.
Are you not getting the codes anymore?

[quote=NicWRX;276051]You can turn off the CELs for it. As far as passing emissions I don't know. Where I live we are not tested. If you decide to do a delete here is a link for it.
[url=http://www.kstech.biz/servlet/the-Air-Pump-Delete/Categories]Results for Air Pump Delete[/url][/quote]
So what are my options for permanently deleting my air pump CELs? I have the block off plates but since I don't have a tool to flash the ECU and I don't have Cobb AP on this car ('06 XT)? Does anyone know of inexpensive flash programmers that would do the trick?
Otherwise I'd even buy someone a pack of beer to flash it for me... Anyone coming to central Illinois? Or know any tuners in the area?
RomRaider and a tactrix cable will do the trick for around 150.00 if you don't want to get an AP. Sorry, don't know of any tuners in the IL area.

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
stems from a case that was filed in 2004/2005. I want to include all past and current charges of perjury as the evidence of fraud was found 4 months ago. Original action is a family law matter.
If you are interested in pursuing criminal charges for these crimes, the statute of limitations isn't really a concern of yours. Rather, you should contact the appropriate law enforcement agency and present them with your allegations. The law enforcement agency and associated prosecuting authority will assess your claims and determine if there is a crime or crimes to prosecute, and if those prosecutions are viable.
For a civil cause of action, you should consult with an attorney that specializes in the appropriate field(s).
Any statements I make in these forums (fora?) should not be taken as direct legal advice, merely informed guidance. This is true due to the anonymous nature of this venue, and the incomplete information which is invariably provided by the questions. It is imperative that you consult directly with an attorney regarding your specific situation before acting on or relying on anything represented here. Period.Ask a similar question
I was a teacher and whistle blower afterward I was assighned to a different class each hour over a forty acer campuss. I was arrestd with surplus property all charges were dismissed per negotian I was denighned my due process and made to wait five years for Las Vegas's most corrupt arbitratorto nod his head instantly at every assumption without hesitation or deliberation. My attorney concealed my reports witnesses and even my testimony was "off the record" How long is the Fed statue of limitations on conspiracy and fraud both civil and criminal prosecution? Thanks
Sorry but to elaborate on the above forgot to mention that this matter is a should be 5 year one after researching, because as your colleague has mentioned below some statutes are quite longer. (This is a tax matter).
It is up to the prosecutor whether to bring charges. All you can do is submit the evidence to the government. The statute of limitations in federal court for most crimes is 5 years from when the crime occurred. If the earlier case that you describe was not a federal case, however, it is not clear that the feds would even have jurisdiction.
This answer is provided for educational purposes only and is not intended as the practice of law in any jurisdiction in which I am not licensed. The answer does not constitute legal advice nor does it create an attorney-client relationship. The answer is based only on the information provided, and may be inaccurate in the context of additional facts that have not been provided. The questioner should be aware that I am only licensed to practice law in the state and federal courts of Minnesota. Accordingly, before taking any action or refraining from taking any action, the questioner should consult with an attorney licensed to practice in his or her jurisdiction.Ask a similar question
Where is a point of reference that I can read for exact clarification on these statue of limitation time frames? I am trying to figure out the statue of limitation that the Federal government (prosecutor) has in order to bring criminal charges for crimes such as (tax fraud, and securities fraud). I am curious for informational/educational purposes.
Have you ever heard of scenarios that have resulted in cases sitting at the U.S. Attorneys office for 5 years and the statute of limitations running out on the ability of prosecutors to bring criminal charges against a target of a criminal investigation? It has been 3 years here since the crime took place and 3 years since the investigation.
Given the time that has elapsed, it is most likely the U.S. Attorney does not intend to prosecute the case. If he does intend to prosecute, he would not let the case sit until the statute of limitations expires.
Based just on what you have posted here, scant as it is, I suspect that you are interested in a perjury and fraud prosecution for some testimony/declaration/evidence that was introduced by the opposing party in a state family law proceeding. This is an exceptionally common issue. There are multiple postings on this set of facts virtually every day here on Avvo.
The truth is that perjury and fraud prosecutions almost never result from contested civil cases. Our court system would simply collapse (and would have long ago) if a prosecution were to ensue from every disputed civil case in which one party or the other is convinced that the other side committed perjury and fraud. That would mean that virtually every civil case spawned at least one and maybe multiple criminal prosecutions!
Equally important, from the policy standpoint, at least one judge has already heard the evidence in the previous case. If that court thought that there was provable or actionable perjury or fraud, the court could have referred the matter to prosecutorial authorities.
Of course, if I have surmised wrongly about the nature of your issue, just ignore these comments.
My responses to questions on Avvo are never intended as legal advice and must not be relied upon as legal advice. I give legal advice only in the course of an attorney-client relationship. Exchange of information through Avvo's Questions forum does not establish an attorney-client relationship with me. That relationship is established only by individual consultation and execution of a written agreement for legal services.Ask a similar question
The question is ambiguous, but the following is the standard for federal statute of limitations.
Although the majority of federal crimes are governed by the general five year statute of limitations, Congress has chosen longer periods for specific types of crimes – 20 years for the theft of art work; ten years for arson; for certain crimes against financial institutions, and for immigration offenses; and eight years for the nonviolent violations of the terrorism-associated statutes which may be prosecuted at any time if committed under violent circumstances. The child protection section, 18 U.S.C. 3283, permits an indictment or information charging kidnaping, or sexual abuse, or physical abuse, of a child under the age of 18 to be filed within the longer of 10 years or the life of the victim. The enactment of 18 U.S.C. 3299, eliminates the statute of limitations in cases of child abduction and sex offenses against children, obviously limits the sweep of Section 3283.
The response above is not intended as legal advice since it's impracticable to provide thorough, accurate advice based upon the query without additional details. It is highly recommended that one should seek advice from a criminal defense attorney licensed in your jurisdiction by setting up a confidential meeting. Moreover, this response does not constitute the creation of an attorney-client relationship since this message is not a confidential communication because it was posted on a public website, thereby publicly disclosing the information, which is another reason to setup a confidential meeting with an attorney.Ask a similar question
From art work to child abuse you certainly covered everthing but what I need or am trying to find out. You obviously do not subscribe to "less is more" I was a teacher and was a whislte blower.

London Underground expected by now to have signed the first contracts with the two consortia selected to operate the public-private partnership (PPP) for the next 30 years. But a legal challenge by Mayor Ken Livingstone to halt PPP is due to start in the High Court two weeks from today.
Tube directors have delayed signing contracts at least until the outcome of the case, which is certain to go to appeal whoever wins.
The consortia have spent tens of millions of pounds each preparing their bids but have yet to see any return, although their eventual profits will be enormous. Their plight, however, will raise little sympathy from Livingstone, the rail unions and other critics of the partial sell-off who have long condemned the scheme both on financial and safety grounds.
In addition to the Mayor's legal challenge the rail unions have launched a separate action claiming that safety on the Tube will be reduced.
The Government denies the PPP is privatisation and says £16bn, a combination of taxpayer funding, income from fares and private-sector finances, will be spent maintaining and refurbishing the network during the first 15 years of the contracts.Reuse content

Season starts this Saturday 10/6/12. Clothes washed and bagged, tree stand outside airing out, archery tackle box organized, boots waterproofed, new knife sharpened, misc. gear packed and ready. Hopefully the wife is ready for the "archery monster" that shows up this time every year. Anyone else's season starting this Saturday? May not be able to sleep come Friday night.
i hunt in Virginia too. i couldnt sleep at all friday night due to the anticipation. then when dark on saturday rolled around i was a little dissapointed. where i hunt was extremely windy and even rained on me which is probably why the only two deer i saw were in a bottom about 150 yards away... did you have any luck?
Saw 11 while on stand, 3 bucks, 8 does. They never got right, all within about 50 yards. Hunted on a military base, public land.
wow you had a lot better luck than i did. i have heard about the military bases and some of the nice deer they can produce. i hunt a lease in montgomery county and a little in floyd county but most of the pictures im getting in my stand locations are from night time so im having to try and wait them out until the last light. had a decent 8 pointer come through last night but he was not ready to take yet. hopefully the big boy i got pictures of will come by soon.
good luck to you next time you head in.

Concrete prep for outdoor tile
I plan on installing ceramic outdoor tiles on my terrace. I'm in Rochester, NY and I have researched which specific outdoor tile I will use. My problem is the concrete I want to put the tile on.
I recently purchased a 1920 Tudor with a concrete ground level terrace that is about 365 sq ft which I would like to install tile on. Below the terrace is a partially heated garage and part of the basement. Half the terrace has a roof over it and the other open half has two floor drains. When I try to flood the terrace the water does flow off the surface so there is some pitch in all the right directions. There was outdoor green carpet glued to the concrete which I have removed. I would estimate this carpet was installed about 20 years ago with some incredibly strong industrial strength adhesive. A majority of this adhesive remains on the concrete surface and beneath this I can see two shades of green paint I believe to be oil based.
Knowing the best way to set tiles over concrete would be to get the surface of the concrete down to bare concrete to accept the thin-set. I first tried scrapping with an 8 inch razor floor scrapper and this did not budge any of the adhesive or paint that wasnt already loose. I was only able to bring up a very small amount and could not get down to bare concrete. Then I tried a few different chemicals and was unsuccessful. Next a grinder with a carbide scrapping head and that didnt work at all. Finally I used a 3500 psi pressure washer and that took up just a small amount of the loose stuff that I missed with the scrapper. Probably 80-90% of the adhesive remains secured to the concrete surface which is porous because it was troweled on in a circular fashion.
My question is with this adhesive so well anchored to the concrete surface will it accept and properly secure the thin-set? Should I try a bonding adhesive first? Or use resurfacing concrete over it with a boomed surface? Or should I rent ($200+) a scarifier and remove/rough off 3/8 of the surface along with all the paint and adhesive before thin-set? I thought of Ditra but will add that adds more than $600 to the project and not really sure that's the answer.
I apologize in advance if this topic has been covered before but I couldn't find the answer I was looking for.
Rochester, NY
Did you try a commercial floor buffer with a set of carborundum stones? that's a pretty good method for cleaning up a concrete surface.
I can't guide you on setting over the old adhesive---I've only done a few outdoor tile jobs and the surface was good and clean already.
Thanks, actually that was one of the suggestions United Rental came up with but warned the adhesive may heat up into gumball sized balls and just clog up the what he called number 8 grit disk quickly. Not sure if this is comparable to carborundum stones but I don't remember him saying carborundum stones were option for the sanding disk. Anyway to test this theory I got some 40 grit sandpaper for my palm sander and tried it out. Chunks of adhesive began to stick to the sandpaper making it ineffective in a short period of time. Reluctantly, that's why I was considering the concrete grinder to scarify the surface if I positively need to get down to bare concrete to set tile.
This disk I speak of is a wood disk with actual blocks of carborundum attached---Great for knocking off old thinset.
It might also end up a gummed up mess---Never tried that----a sand blaster would be great but the cost would be high.
Never heard of or seen it but I like how it sounds. Agreed with the sand blasting idea. My next thought was a shot blaster just quick way to rough up the surface but still in the $200+ price range.
If there is paint under the adhesive, then I would say that the easiest way to get the adhesive off is to get the paint off.
Have you tried working stripper under the adhesive to get at the actual paint?
Do not use ceramic tiles outside, they are porous and will absorb water, freeze and crack. Us porcelain tiles.
Im trying to avoid using chemicals because I have to use thin-set to set tiles and I dont want to take the chance the chemicals wont let the thin-set bond to the concrete. The rental company said the concrete grinder/scarifier or floor buffer will gum up with the adhesive and be useless. They reccommneded a shotblaster. Of course no one in my area rents shotblasters which sounds like my best option. Someone suggested a hammer drill with the chisel tip to scrap it up. Might have to give that a try.
After you neutralize the stripper there shouldn't be an issue. I'm not really sure what would be in stripper that would stop thin set from adhering though.

How do you enclose open plan stairs?
3 Attachment(s)
I was just wondering if anyone could give me some ideas. I have an open plan stair case that I want to enclose. Is it an easy job? what sort of wood should i use? what should I cover the back of the stairs up with? Has anyone done this to their own stairs? just looking for some ideas as i'm not the best at DIY lol
Just a thought, unless you install risers also you will have a dirt catcher with the back enclosed. There are so many different materials you can use to enclose the back with, it would be a matter of your preference. Most use sheet rock to enclose the back as it is also a fire stop.
What kind of plan do you have in mind for the space under the stairs? Are you going to have it be a diagonal ceiling? How far down will the diagonal go before you cut to vertical? Or will it be all enclosed and turned into a closet? I always like the pic on the minwax home page (www.minwax.com) when it comes to enclosed undersides of stairs. That looks really nice. Also go to www.houzz.com and search for stairs -- you'll find tons of inspiration.
Probably, should use 5/8" Type-X, drywall on the underside of the stairs.
Some type of risers, for sure.
The railings would not pass code around here.
(Neither would the stairs!)
If you're going to add risers; and, you're going to paint them -
you could use decent 1 X pine - think about some type of glue -
as well as nails/screws.
We would use Oak.
What a rare opportunity you're sitting on! Strip those treads, and maybe the stringers too, and refinish them to be the centerpiece of the house. Open stairs cost a fortune to have built.
They could even be fully wrapped with carpet for the lazy way out.
Of course to become code compliant, you're going to have to consider some sort of risers. Maybe two or three horizontal chrome bars, to help keep the "open" effect? 1/2"? Or plexiglas or Lexan? Maybe "tinted"? And change out the railing for one with attractive baulsters and a code compliant handrail... 2x's like that are not only tacky, but dangerous because they afford very poor gripping shapes.
But PLEASE consider alternatives before boxing-in what could become a stunning focal point of your home.
A little clarification is needed. Do you want to make them look like a conventional stairway by installing risers or do you just want to put a flat sheet of material on the back to prevent items from falling through? These 2 jobs are very different in approach, cost and code compliance. If you want to install risers to make it look like a conventional stairway, the 1st question would be what is the relationship of the front of one step to the back of the one below it? We would also need to know the dimensions of each tread to give you a good answer.
Our basement stairs look exactly like yours. I was going to put risers on but noticed that my toe would encroach this area during normal use and would really go deep when hauling a load. I did not like the idea of a dirt trap just tacked to the bottom so they remain open there. The cat digs it that way too. I did remove the old 2X4 railing and put up sides though. I had plenty of 2X2 on hand so I framed from the stairs to joists so the underneath storage would not be interrupted.

You can WOW your family and friends by adding garnishes to your prepared food dishes or drinks. Surprisingly, garnishes are very easy to make and only take a few minutes of your time. Garnishes "Make Life Special" by adding that extra touch to your meals.
Here is my easy Citrus Topiary shown with my Shish Kabobs…..
It's SO EASY to make and it really adds spark to the food presentation! Here is how to make it:
You will need:
- one orange
- one lemon
- 6 cherry tomatoes
- 9 toothpicks
- curly parsley
- a decoration to add to the top ( I used a brass wine opener )
Start by cutting the orange in half. Cut the bottom off of the lemon so it will set flat and cut a slice off of the top of the lemon.
Insert 3 toothpicks into one half of the orange. Use kitchen scissors to cut around the top half of the lemon to separate the lemon pulp from the rind. Cut "V's" all around the top of the lemon as shown – using your kitchen scissors. Remove the top half of the lemon pulp.
Place the lemon flower on the orange half base.
Add parsley to the lemon flower.
Insert a decoration into the top of the lemon flower. I used a brass wine opener. You can really get creative here !
