Here is a school I attended.Its in Alabama but they cover housing. actually you stay in a nice corporate appartment.You get to train on the backhoe,excavator and dozer.Some schools will have you running graders and bobcats dump trucks farm tractors pulling York rakes and so on, the reason I went to this school is due to fact that they focus on three of the most used pieces. No one is going to put you on a grader in the begging.Im from MA. and I do have to admit I'm having trouble finding a job myself I made the switch to H.E.O after 28 years of running news paper I own a bobcat and a backhoe>so if you know anyone hiring let me know....

More U.S. coal export terminals—such as Ambre Energy's proposed terminal that was denied in Oregon—are unnecessary because current U.S. coal export terminals are only operating at 34 percent of capacity, said a report released Wednesday by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis. Lead author Tom Sanzillo "forecasts that total U.S. coal exports this year may not exceed 80 million tons, down from a peak of 125.6 million tons in 2012," Hal Bernton reports for The Seattle Times.
The Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis has often been critical of coal companies "and previously worked under contract for Power Past Coal, a coalition opposed to building new export terminals in the Northwest," Bernton writes. Proponents of coal-export terminals contest the findings in the report. (Read more)

Four injured by fireworks at bonfire
The sheriff�s office reported a group of people was sitting around a bonfire at 5707 N. Weary Road in Center Township before 2 a.m. Sunday when Scott T. Bonnell, 41, of Fond du Lac, threw a bag full of �some form of pyrotechnic material� into the fire.
The bag exploded in the fire, burning Bonnell and three other people, including Tanner D. Hall, 24, of Janesville, Amy L. Brzezinski, 25, of Janesville and Kayln B. Schremp, 25, of Edgerton.
Hall and Brzezinski were transported to University Hospital, Madison, for burns to their hands and face. Both were listed in good condition Sunday afternoon. Schremp was treated and released at Stoughton Hospital.
Bonnell was transported to Mercy Hospital and Trauma Center, Janesville, but refused treatment. He was arrested for recklessly endangering safety, according to the sheriff�s office.
A sheriff�s investigation at the scene revealed a large amount of fireworks had been set off during the night. Alcohol is believed to be a factor in the accident, and additional citations are pending.

Frockdress.com has a versatile collection of wedding dresses of Middle Eastern countries. Information about Middle Eastern dresses is listed in this article below. Our website provides all type of information regarding bridal dresses worn in Middle East. Persian embroidery is very common in Middle East. Bridal dresses are usually designed with Persian embroidery. In this embroidery floral designs are used. Flower art and beads work is done on the dress which makes the dress look so decent and impressive. Floral designs add beauty and charming effect on the dress and the bride looks elegant.Animal patterns like cheetah and tiger prints are also used in this embroidery. In Iran, brides like Persian embroidery. They love floral artwork.
Silver pearls are used on the gowns to make them more stylish and refreshing. But there is very less use of lace on the gown. Every country has different meaning of colors. These are the superstitions that some colors are the sign of good luck while other colors represent bad luck.Mostly white color is chosen for the bridal dresses. Red is symbolized as the color of danger and evil in Middle East therefore it is not right for the brides to wear this color. Orange color is associated with loss so it is also not good to wear in the Middle Eastern countries. Yellow color depicts happiness and prosperity therefore it is also preferred. Green, blue and purple colors are sign of good luck. White color is refreshing and Arabian brides prefer it.
In Turkey, ground long skirt is trending. Headdress is compulsory in turkey. Middle Eastern countries always remember about the traditions. They prefer traditional dresses. Their heads are covered with hijab and scarves. Scarves are decorated with laces. That's why their brides look decent and extraordinary. Dress is fully covered; entire body is covered with the dress. They follow their religion and traditions to choose the dress. Veil and fully covered dresses are their identity as they are Muslims. However, the Arabian brides wear modern and sleeveless dresses as used in the European countries.
Israel is the country of Jews so they follow their religion and use modern and romantic dresses on the wedding ceremonies. Brides want to wear relaxed and sexy dresses.In Israel, gowns are stitched with light and romantic impression. But they are so much expensive that brides stay away from purchasing. But some brides who belong to upper class families buy these gowns in a bid to look like a masterpiece. These gowns and skirts are made with embellished fabrics. Pearls increase the fanciness of the dress. Homemade lace produces stunning effect. Plummeting necklines and subtle veils add sexiness to the dress. Silk tulle with hand embroidery is also worn by many brides. These tulles are adorned with crystals.
Middle Eastern countries include Muslim as well as non-Muslim countries. So their traditions are also different. Veils and long gowns are worn in Muslim countries while open back and romantic dresses are worn in non-Muslim countries.

1st PeruSAT-1 Images
- Peru's first satellite image reveals Cuajone, a large copper mine in the south of the country - Latin America's most powerful satellite gives 70 cm resolution
The PerúSAT-1 satellite, designed and built by Airbus Defence and Space, the world's second largest space company, has delivered its first images after its successful launch on 16 September from Kourou.
"We constructed PerúSAT-1 in a record time of less than 24 months and now, after having completed th orbital maneuvers to reach its operational orbit at an altitude of 695 km, it has delivered its first image for the Peruvian Space Agency (CONIDA). I would like to thank all the teams for their efforts in achieving this latest milestone," said Nicolas Chamussy, Head of Space Systems.
Global Military UAV Market Forecast to 2022
Airbus Defence and Space is the world's leading exporter of Earth observation satellites, and PerúSAT-1 is based on the highly flexible, compact AstroBus-S platform featuring a state-of-the-art silicon carbide optical instrument system with 70 cm resolution. It will collect images for use in agriculture, urban planning, border control and drug trafficking, and will support the management of humanitarian aid and the evaluation of natural disasters, among other applications.
From now until the end of the year, exhaustive in-orbit tests will be carried out from the CNOIS control centre (Centro Nacional de Operaciones de Imágenes Satelitales) built by Airbus Defence and Space, in Pucusana, south of Lima to ensure that all subsystems are operating properly. PerúSAT-1 satellite system will then be commissioned and handed over to the fully trained Peruvian engineers and technicians of the customer CONIDA.
Constructed in a record time of less than 24 months, PerúSAT-1 is currently the most powerful Earth observation satellite in the Latin American region. The result of a bilateral agreement between Peru and France, PerúSAT-1 gives Peru a sovereign capability and will play a key role in bringing the benefits of space to its society.

Aviation isn't an industry of elitists, it doesn't have to be cripplingly expensive, and it's not just about being a pilot. It's an industry like any other, an industry that you might already have the skills for, an industry you could be working in with our help. This is what the Aviation Skills Partnership will demonstrate to the Air Cadets at the Aerospace Camp at RAF Syerston in our Aviation Skills Masterclass™ on Friday 26th of August.
Aviation is about teamwork. Through our hands-on, activity-based workshop, the air cadets will learn that everyone has a vital role to play in the safe operation of an aircraft. Each cadet will have the opportunity to take on a role from the six areas of aviation…
…and at the end of the session there will be a small awards presentation in recognition of outstanding work and the most successful operating platform.
While their feet may stay firmly on the ground, the cadets will be developing and utilising the skills which will let their aviation careers take flight. These are skills that can help them in all areas of life: communication, project management, research, analysis, knowledge and integration of skills. The Aviation Skills Partnership wants to open the doors to the aviation industry, encourage curiosity, and reward excellence.

Melissa Benoist get Super-Sexy for the New York Post
She is faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Taking a break from kicking ass on the CW's Supergirl, Melissa Benoist recently sat down for an interview with the New York Post, and lucky for us she also posed for some pics too. Please save your "hooray's" until the end.
A self-proclaimed musical theater nerd, Benoist revealed how she had to put in a lot of work to get the producers of Supergirl to consider her for the part. As a matter of fact, according to her it actually took three months of auditions and dying her hair blonde in order for Supergirl producers to finally realize that she was the one for the role of the Girl of Steel.
"I don't think of myself as that tough, kick-ass, badass woman," she admitted. "I've always been a pacifist, for one, and I was [always] weirder and quirkier and dorkier."
Supergirl is set to return on January 16th with the Kevin Smith helmed episode, "Supergirl Lives."

Project management support Business Intelligence (BI)
It is a well-known fact that far from all BI projects reach their goals. According to Gartner Group, more than half fail. On the other hand, well-functioning BI be fantastically useful and profitable, but it is important a BI project get the right start
- Have the right funding
- Is controlled by a methodology adapted to BI, which is different from other IT projects
- As it normally is a moving target it must rapidly become the subject of vigorous corrective action if problems arise
Before the project
It is important that we ensure that the project is based on the business requirements and aims to improve information required by the operations. BI projects are not technology projects, and the formulation of objectives and project management will be characterized hereof. Preference employees have many years' experience of successful BI projects, and can have a significant impact during the project initiation phase, it is then determined if the project will be successful or not.
Choosing a BI product and technology discussions is not the right way to start!
During the project
BI project is different from most other projects in some important respects. To run a Waterfall project – to eat the whole elephant at once – is extremely difficult to master in any project but a catastrophe in a BI project. Instead, an iterative project model must be applied. Another is that the main project boundary should not be schedule or project scope, the aim is to present data quality. Preference BI experts can help you to build "The Data Quality Firewall". BI applications that are defiled with dirty data never gets management's confidence it is just wasted resources.
If a BI project run into problems
The sooner you contact us, lesser cost will be to get back on track. We have experienced most of the problems that BI initiatives can suffer; including runaway costs and wrecked schedules. We can act both as issuer of accurate diagnoses and adviser for the way forward.

The Beatles were one of the most successful bands ever – having 27 number one hits in the UK and 19 in the USA (21 if the double-As are separated). They are synonymous with the 1960s and the documentary It Was Fifty Years Ago Today! The Beatles: Sgt. Pepper & Beyond focuses on the band's activities in 1967.
The documentary follows The Beatles after their 1966 tour of America, where they suffered a backlash due to John Lennon's comment that The Beatles were 'more popular than Jesus'. The band had an artistic change as they recorded one of their most popular albums and explore other ventures beyond music.
It Was Fifty Years Ago Today was a love letter to The Beatles; the journalists and colleagues that worked on 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band' stated that the album was a revolution in the music industry. The thesis of the documentary was The Beatles wanted to move away from their pop, crowd-pleasing music, to making something more artistically ambitious.
The documentary was split into three sections: the first followed The Beatles during the America tour which leads to them changing their focus to making albums instead of touring, the second was about the creation of 'Sgt. Pepper's' and the final third looked at their spiritual side and their other businesses.
The most interesting aspect of the documentary was the production of the album and how it affected the music industry. The Beatles changed the musical culture: in the past singles were the priority and the album was made as a consequence of them: 'Sgt. Pepper's' flipped it to be the other way round – singles were a consequence of the album. 'Sgt. Pepper's' also changed how albums were recorded – changing from a process that lasted two weeks at most to bands spending months in the recording studio – a lesson that Guns and Roses took too much to heart when they made 'Chinese Democracy'.
Image also became a more important feature that changed with The Beatles. This was the era where The Beatles changed from their mop top, clean cut look to one of colorful military tunics that were becoming more popular at the time. The band also invested heavily in the album cover – which was unusual for the time – and The Beatles clashed over the influential figures who could appear on the cover.
It Was Fifty Years Ago Today also talked about the influences on The Beatles' new sound and the songs on the album – as well as 'Strawberry Fields Forever' and 'Penny Lane', which were originally intended to be placed on 'Sgt. Pepper's'. As the talking heads state Paul, John and George were grammar school educated, were interested in art and literature and their intelligential pursuits influenced their music.
The most amusing story regarded 'Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds' with John Lennon coming up with his own explanation for the reason why the son's initials were 'L.S.D.'
The documentary also focused on the band's relationship with their manager Brian Epstein – which was already strained by 1967 – and made worse due to The Beatles starting up Apple Boutique and the band falling under the influence of The Maharishi. This backdrop led to Epstein's depression and eventual overdose. The talking heads spoke of Epstein's importance to the band and how he protected their interests – even if he wasn't the best money man.
Although the documentary was a love letter to The Beatles the surviving members of the group were not involved. This was a shame because it would have added an extra sense of authenticity to hear Paul and Ringo's voices about the recording process, their business and exploration of mysticism. The documentary also states that John Lennon got the reputation as the artistic force behind the Beatles, but Paul McCartney was more influential than the public were led to believe. However, John is unable to defend himself him.
Also due to the documentary being a product of love for The Beatles it did lead to the film going off topic. It's not as bad as Future Shock! The Story of 2000AD which went off on big tangents, but did the people interviewed go beyond the documentary's remit? This was partly to try and show some context for people who were not as knowledgeable about The Beatles or '60s culture, other times it was the talking heads trying to show their importance as sources. It did lead to some amusing anecdotes.
It Was Fifty Years Ago Today is a documentary by Beatles fans, for Beatles fans and people who are interested in music and cultural history.

We thought there couldn't be a better cause out there than giving our skin the moisture it needs in this cold weather—but we were (unsurprisingly) wrong.
Kiehl's, the skincare brand behind the glowing skin of our dreams, has teamed up with The Australian Children's Music Foundation for a great cause.
Kiehl's has partnered up with the foundation to support the ACMF's efforts to help children in remote areas around Australia through music. The not-for-profit charity uses free music lessons and musical instruments to reach out to thousands of children in schools, juvenile justice centres, community centres and hospitals all over the country.
Kiehl's has pledge to donate $2 from every sale of their limited edition Ultra Facial Cream between July 1st and mid-August to the ACMF (and it also comes with a sweet illustrated design).
Kiehl's and the ACFM have also recruited It-band The Preatures, who have committed to supporting and joining in the conversation about the importance of music in the lives of children.
Helping kids and having glowing skin? Where do we sign?

Emana wants Pompey move
By Laurent Picard
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Cameroon international Achille Emana has confirmed he is close to joining Portsmouth.
Cameroon international Achille Emana has confirmed he is close to joining Portsmouth.
The 23-year-old has been scouted closely by Pompey in recent weeks and manager Harry Redknapp made a personal check on him earlier this month.
The likes of Arsenal and Everton have both monitored Emana's progress over the past year, but Pompey have now made their move to land the highly-rated Toulouse midfielder.
Emana admits a move to Fratton Park appeals and he is hopeful a deal can be done.
"Yes, Toulouse and Portsmouth are negotiating," Emana told skysports.com.
"I am very interested in moving to this team and I am quite optimistic.
"I have been playing in France for six years now, and I would like to know something else.
"The Premier League is a fantastic championship, it interests me a lot."
Emana admits he is good friends with Pompey striker Benjani and he would love the chance to play with him.
"I would like to bring to Portsmouth everything I can," he continued.
"I have a close friend who plays there, Benjani. I would be happy to play with him, and I would discover a new team, new team-mates, a new staff.
"It is the beginning of a new era for me and I wish to blossom there.
"A decision will be taken in a few weeks."

Águeda: The first Portuguese smart city?Can a small municipality of 50,000 inhabitants in central/northern Portugal be at the forefront of sustainable urban innovation despite the crisis and the lack of opportunities at the national level? Águeda points to a positive answer thanks to the vision of its Mayor Gil Nadais, who has been instrumental in involving the civil society in energy-saving initiatives.
Now home to an electric bicycle sharing-scheme, the city has also installed energy-saving lighting in houses, public buildings and public spaces, and developed successful partnerships with the private sector. As part of its commitment under the Covenant of Mayors, Águeda has already achieved a reduction of 20% of green houses gases emissions. The objective of the municipality is to reach a 33% decrease by 2020.
Recently the Covenant of Mayors Office visited Águeda to produce a videoabout the key energy-saving actions that are being implemented as part of the city's sustainable energy action plan. The video caught the attention of the Portuguese press that has been widely covering the issue since then. "SIC" channel broadcast a television report on the topic and daily national paper "Público" covered the issue in an article. Águeda is definitely a Covenant success story !

This is a little creative work by Sungho Lee, you would probably never thought that a simple and plain paperclip would transformed into a cool mini LED light by just topping with a LED, while the paperclip hugging a watch battery. You may thought it's useless or something that's too easy for you, but believe me, this stuff is the fruit of a brilliant brain to simplify everything else and leaving only the 'core' to shine like a little star. I'm not sure how this idea is gonna develop in the future, but seeing such an unique transformation of our office stationary is truly magnificent.

As good and as exciting a band as Hefner is, We Love the City, the album that immediately preceded Dead Media, saw them perfecting their previous style of music to the point where there were no higher peaks left to climb in their chosen musical genre. Verbally assaulting Margaret Thatcher and critiquing city life in a grand, Baroque manner, Darren Hayman and company were straying a bit wide of the sociological, sexual studies that marked their previous work, as they grasped for new subject matter and somewhat roundabout metaphors. Dead Media thankfully brings the focus back to personal matters, and it sees a breath of fresh air introduced in the form of analog synthesizers and audio experimentation. Dead Media is a clear new page for Hefner. Upon first listen, the title track and album opener might make one wonder just when the band started sounding like Wendy Carlos. Blaring synths, weird sound effects and samples, crunchy organs, and warped bass thumps abound throughout most of the album's 15 songs. There's not a clunker to be found, despite a few meandering instrumentals. Standout songs include the tale of messed-up bedsheets, "When the Angels Play Their Drum Machines," where the bandmembers come across like the kid siblings of Pulp, the grandiose ode to following one's dreams that is "Alan Bean," the '50s-inspired chugging guitar and tambourine fest of "The King of Summer," and "Waking up to You," which somehow finds Hefner sounding like a techno version of Built to Spill. Still, the absolute highlight has to be the stark "China Crisis," where Amelia Fletcher touchingly answers Hayman's verbal volleys by asking if he "ever f***ing listened when (his) head was caving in" and tells him that he's "far too dumb and stupid to look (her) in the eye." "Home" closes the album with what might be the future sound of Hefner; it's a folk hoedown chillout that shimmers beautifully. Dead Media is a vital album in the scheme of all things Hefner, as they prove that they're too smart and talented to sit back and rest on their considerable laurels. ~ Tim DiGravina

For Everyday Folks, there are Three Ways to Shred
As a highly reputable resource for document shredding in Colorado, XpresShred has become very popular among small to mid-sized businesses. Medical offices, legal offices and retailers love the convenience and security that locally owned XpresShred provides with document shredding in Denver metro area.
However, document destruction isn't just for businesses; it's for everyone. Homeowners, renters, workers, parents, adult children…everyone needs to shred documents at various times in order to maintain information security and privacy. The problem is that these people may not have the ability to desire or ability to invest in routine paper shredding services. Fortunately, this is a problem with a very easy solution.
In fact, there are three shredding options that everyday folks can choose from. The first is to take advantage of a one-time shredding appointment. XpresShred can provide mobile shredding in Denver and throughout the Front Range, by going to a customer's home and shredding right outside the door. Customers can watch the entire process, to be sure that their information is being protected until it has been completely destroyed. Alternately, we can dispatch one of our secure trucks to pick up the materials for transport to our plant for shredding. With each approach, a Certificate of Destruction is issued after the paper is destroyed. XpresShred is AAA Certified and audited for compliance by the National Association for Information Destruction (NAID). You can rest assured that your documents and sensitive materials are protected and destroyed according to industry standards.
Another option is to drop papers off at our offices. You can visit our plant in Englewood for quick, affordable drop off document shredding. You are welcome to witness the destruction, if you would like.
For a one-time shredding appointment outside your home, call XpresShred at 303.592.6000, and for easy drop off shredding drop by our plant between 8:00 and 4:30 from Monday through Friday. You don't need an appointment or advance notice. We are ready to assist you when you are ready to come by.

- he ceiling and the newly formed surface of the second level to finish off with the state.
other words, in the process of finishing the ceiling is lowered due to new constructions erected:
- or on the perimeter of the main ceiling;
- or part (in the corners, in the center, etc.).
Trey ceilings resembles an inverted step , where all the horizontal surfaces are at different heights relative to the initial level.Such construction of two planes located at different tiers, and is called a two-tier.
Read also about the two-level stretch ceilings.
Types ceiling surfaces
Depending on the preferred owners of housing decoration materials, all options are based on two-level ceilings using modern technology finishes:
- headlining plasterboard for finishing;
- frame construction for the installation of stretch ceiling;
- multilevel arrangement of suspension systems such as Armstrong, etc.
In other words, the surface can be created by the final or will serve as the basis for applying the finishing.
Accordingly, that kind of two-level ceilings are also divided into:
- ready to use (PVC film of Armstrong);
- ready to install decorative coating (paint, wallpaper and other finishing materials).
All options for the two levels has its own characteristics, which will be discussed below.
Ceilings plasterboard
Making duplex plasterboard ceiling is the easiest option available to most homeowners.This explains its popularity in the interior many modern apartments and private homes.
uniqueness of this design is that all possible design flaws as well as the bumps and cracks the base of the ceiling masked finishing.After priming, plasterboard ceiling is ready for decorating.
Smooth surface allows the use of drywall produced the basis for further finishing:
- paper wallpaper;
- latex paint;
- relief plaster, etc.
Tip: furnished our two plasterboard ceilings equation with his own hands, follow a simple rule - framework must be thorough .Failure to do so leads to cracking of seams and joints gypsum board.And vice versa - what is a monolithic frame, the less chance of cracking.
Read also about the two-level ceilings in the kitchen.
to create a modern ceiling drywall in their own apartment or house you need to stock up on the following materials:
- sheets of plasterboard;
- metal rails (profiles CD and UD) to force the frame;
- connecting elements (suspensions, crabs);
- putties for surface finishing and glossing over the attachment points;
- aluminum or plastic corners for otortsovki corners of drywall constructions;
- screws for metal and plasterboard;
- plaster mesh to reinforce the seams.
reference: the building materials market offers 2 types of plasterboard: wall - thickness of 12 mm, and a ceiling - 9 mm.Creating a 2 tiered interior, choose only a thin plasterboard ceiling to reduce the weight of the structure.
Before proceeding to the arrangement, it is necessary to make sketches of the two-level ceilings, to calculate and buy the right amount of materials.It is also necessary to take into account the finish of the first (primary) level.
If it is plasterboard, it is necessary:
- First, calculate the material requirements for the first level;
- then add material to the second level.
Tip: good help today provides Internet - the network can not only find detailed drawings of two-level ceilings, but also to find options for its finishing.
main difficulty is parallel arrangement of the ceiling and constructed structures relative to each other.As a rule, when the entire ceiling is sheathed with plasterboard, it is built on the frame of a water level.And in the case of the construction of 2 level, which, for example, hide highlighting possible discrepancies.
reference: the construction jargon, this situation is described as "littered with the ceiling."And sometimes the only way to leveling is to create the primary base of the drywall.
other words, first sheathed with plasterboard ceiling, and only then based on it is built a second level .Next, the surface treated for finishing.It is in this way possible two-tier system of quality installation of the ceiling.
Duplex ceilings
Compared with plasterboard structures, ceilings initially have an undoubted advantage - a perfectly flat surface.Moreover, they can also be in the order phase to give a particular color, or the same order and drawing of the image at all.
to secure the PVC film on the ceiling will also need to build a strong skeleton.Moreover, for each level you need a frame for mounting.If it is a curved forms, it is desirable to use the decorative elements of the power modules that do not require further finishing.
most commonly used for such purposes:
- metal sections with a plastic cornice;
- aluminum moldings.
Tip: commonly used in the installation of suspended ceilings, plastic moldings in two-level system is applicable only for installation on a wall.When you create a multi-level structures required to apply aluminum moldings with the ceiling installation method.
Also, before installation it is desirable to see video installation , to avoid mistakes.Nothing complicated in the installation process is not, important only sequence of actions and measurements.After all, the size of the tension blade removed after installation baguettes, and the error allowed no more than 0.5 cm.
Ceiling systems such as Armstrong
This type of decoration is traditional ceilings for large areas.Its popularity is explainable choice of colors and textures of the tile, as well as a large number of options embedded fixtures.
technology of this system is more complicated but the finish, however, a two-tiered ceiling with his hands and can be mounted to.It is important to follow the installation of hangers technology, which provides accurate measurements.
Caution: The complexity of this type of assembly work of the ceiling is a large number of suspensions and fine-tuning the level.But is it enough to pick up the samples to understand their operating principle.
algorithm works the following:
- With the water level around the room applied horizontal line ;
- On the ceiling is markup to install adjustable suspensions.Its form depends on the parameters of the frame (usually square with sides 50 cm);
- By marking being targeted to the ceiling mounting plate and set suspensions;
- Fits wall profile;
- frame fixed in suspensions;
- Mounted lamps and decorative elements are inserted.
reference: such a system has advantages over the finishing drywall - all power elements of the frame on the front side trimmed topcoat and do not require additional costs.It is enough to fix the frame in the ceiling panels and ready.
combination of different technologies
Modern technologies allow for the combination of very different materials and technologies on the ceiling.The simplest example of a combination - two-color ceiling.
It can be made of:
- drywall - each level having painted a different color, or pasted various style ceiling wallpaper;
- Stretch film - by adjusting colors or pictures;
- type Ceilings Armstrong - by installing different panels (color and material).
more interesting forms ceilings are achieved through the integration of two different types of finishes:
- drywall and the tension of the material;
- drywall systems and Armstrong;
- Stretch films and PVC systems Armstrong.
Conclusions: two-level ceilings with lighting today have become a recognizable element of modern design premises.This design gives the interior a rich look, and often plays a major role in setting the apartment.And with all of this two-tier structure is simple to manufacture, as you can see, after reading this article.

Cook Medical To Open New U.S. Medical Device Manufacturing Plant in Canton, IL
At the opening of its newest U.S.-based manufacturing plant, Cook Medical President Kem Hawkins will discuss the impact reinvestment in small-town American cities such as Cook's two plants in Canton, which have a combined investment cost of approximately $40 million, could have in reinvigorating America's economy. Over its 49-year history, Cook has reinvested more than $1.5 billion in medical device manufacturing facilities that now employ about 10,000 in the U.S. and in select sites overseas, a growth strategy Cook executives hope to continue.
Other speakers will include U.S. Senator Dick Durbin, D-IL, U.S. Rep. Bobby Schilling, R-IL, and Canton Mayor Kevin Meade, whose remarks will focus on the remarkable turnaround his city has experienced thanks to Cook's vision of building small-scale medical manufacturing plants in small communities where a high-skill workforce and other economic development assets are readily available.

I was lucky enough to eat at LOS as they reopened after being shuttered.
First the good news. The food was as good as ever. And now many of the specials that before you had to ask about are now listed on the menu. These items tend to be on the high end because of more expensive ingredients (sea bass, short ribs, etc.),. I didn't look at the menu carefully, as we let Saipin choose our dishes, but the prices on the rest of the menu didn't seem to be higher.
But don't expect to see the expanded LOS. Indeed, the seating capacity is actually a little less, as a temporary wall has been placed between the old LOS and what will include not just more seating, but a big wine bar that will be Bank's baby. All the photos and other memorabilia are gone, so the walls are blank. The place was hopping from the start tonight, so I'd suggest calling for reservations.
I asked and LOS will be open for lunch and dinner tomorrow on Christmas.

How can i change the wireless router password?
Log in to your router, and find the option for that. If you have trouble, either find your manual, or google your router and problem.
Type that into your address bar, and that gives you access to your router.
Also, 192.168.0.1 works sometimes too.
If any of those addresses don't work and you're on Windows, go to Start, Run, type in cmd and click OK.
A black window will open. Type in ipconfig and press enter. A list of IP addresses will come up. Look for anything called Default Gateway and type that number into your Internet browser's address bar and press Enter. If it doesn't take you to your router's page, try the next Default Gateway number.
You haven't replied back yet though. Have you managed to change the password?

Nearly four thousand marked
The total fell a bit short with three thousand, seven hundred and eleven pages of student work assessed before the final exams. (I'm not waiting around to count the few assignments that came in woefully late or are pending via incompletes.)
Honestly, the number is staggering which helps to justify the exercise of logging page counts. I won't suggest that every one of those three-thousand plus pages were marked with the same fervent attention to detail (a one-page paper proposal can be skimmed more rapidly than the opening page in a final seminar paper). But there's a certain level of care and attention (as well as record-keeping) that goes into assessing so much material. That's the definite downside! Factor in that I'm running the latest I've ever gone with marking: the last marks I'd have liked to submit by 22 December certainly won't go in until after New Year's.
However, I won't let that get me down as I just heard back from the conference I really wanted to present at and I'm in! Let the celebrations begin!


text: You guys have a problem sometimes with the browser getting stuck? The progress bar will load to like 90% and just stop. Happens on every page I visit. The only way to get it to work again is to reboot the Inc. The problem occurs intermittently. I've already done a hard reset after the OTA update and this still happens. I'm using the stock browser. TIA!

Appalachian Autumn
October 20, 2008
Hope you enjoyed taking a peek at our Appalachian Autumn. One of my favorite things to do this time of the year is too walk in falling leaves.
The other day it was raining down leaves as I was going to see Paul-I was looking up into the sky feeling like a kid again-when I walked straight into the porch! Lucky no one saw me-or at least I hope no one did.
What's your favorite thing to do in the fall of the year?
You can follow this conversation by subscribing to the comment feed for this post.
Beautiful, beautiful pictures!
I think the leaves are my favorite thing about fall, but we do not have a lot here.
Last weekend we went for a walk in the woods by the river, and I LOVED the sound of the crunching leaves.
One day a week we go to gymnastics in a town that is in the river valley (but not right near the river). There are trees, and the girls and I love the leaves. This week we stopped at a tree that was MADE for climing. We were there about 30 minutes. They climbed all over, and I just sat in the tree looking at the mountain and the blue sky through the leaves and listening to the rustling sound as the breeze blew the leaves. Next week many of the leaves will be gone. I'm glad we did it when we did.
Awesome pictures, some of the most vibrant natural colors I've seen in a long while! You should consider publishing a calendar!
I LOVED your photos! Oh, how I wish I could get to the mountains this fall! It is my favorite time of year, and my favorite place to be! But alas....Had to chuckle over you enjoying the falling leaves so much you ran into the porch! Glad you weren't hurt! Did you do that little "I meant to do that" shuffle?
Hey Tipper. Sorry I haven't been around to visit, but life just gets in the way sometimes. I really enjoyed your pics. What type of camera do you use? My daughter got a new fancy schmancy camera the other day and I can't wait to have my turn to play w/it, lol. You take care, Terry
I loved this post and the photos are awesome. I especially like the one of the cabin. Just perfect. I'd love to live there.
I enjoy leaf peeping in the fall and also walking in the woods, through the fallen leaves. Such fragrances that tickle the senses.
So stunning. As a child, I loved going to the mountains, where trees were plentiful, and my sister and I would gather all the leaves and take turns jumping in them--a past-time of thousands of children everywhere. Now, I mostly love to breathe the crisp air, visit the pumpkin patch with the family, make apple cider, carve pumpkins, and find renewal in the endings.
Absolutely amazing!
Absolutely amazing!
Afternoon Tipper! Beautiful photos! The first is breathtaking!
Love autumn. My favorite season; sweater weather, crisp air in addition to everything said in your post. Lovely! *smiling* at
bumping into the porch. Once I slammed right into a glass door because I was enthralled with the buildings surroundings. Have a wonderful day, Tipper!
Tipper, I want to let you know I've been reading a lot of blogs recently to help me decide how to make one of my own. Yours is the best of all I read, so colorful and inviting. I like your personal focus on Appalachia and I like the music. I know you, yes, we've met. I've heard your daughter read her poems at Coffee With the Poets. Your blog site stands out.
The music keeps me on your site. My uncles were the Cofer Brothers, The Georgia Crackers, from Atlanta, old time music. I heard them play and sing many times when I was young.
Congratulations on your successful blog.
Great photo's. I especially liked the one of the sassafras leaves. The photo's of the old homestead's were very nice as well. Also, that has to be one of the fattest dogs I have ever seen in my life.
that pup looks a lil' underfed/hungry
i love the air just before sunrise, the clear blue skies, eating Guadalupe Cafe's Jalapeno Cheese Soup, driving to Lost Maples State Park, camping, hiking, campfires, enjoying the outdoors...
My son dug a pretty darn good firepit in our backyard a few weeks ago, so now we have something else to enjoy this fall and winter (and we don't have to be camping anywhere but our house to enjoy it)!

Is that cabin your home? If it is I am JEALOUS!!!!! Oh, I would love to live in the boonies!
Your pictures are lovely but most of all I like your thoughts!
I like living where the seasons change so dramatically but I'm always a little sad in the fall when all all the lushness of summer goes away, and it starts to get cold.
I loved the beautiful photos you shared, Tipper!
When the fall air turns brisk, I love to take walks. I make myself walk in the summer, for health reasons; but in the fall, it ceases to become about my health, and more about my enjoyment. :-)
Tipper: Nice way to show thw Fall leaves with your spelling trick. Those were really neat photos.
I normally enjoy Fall fishing but the weather has been so unstable and changing it has been poor. I had a great August, so no complaints from me. The deer are really starting to move and that is special.
such gorgeous photos!
Besides enjoying the fall colors, I enjoy putting the garden and flower beds to sleep for the winter. It is calming to me to clean out and mulch the beds and dig out grass and weeds that invaded as the summer got hotter and hotter and I got tireder and tireder working in the heat. The peace of knowing that my gardens are in order prepares me for a winter rest also.
Thanks for the beautiful stroll.
What beautiful photos! I love the fall colors and the bright eyes of your daughter! So full of life and energy! Wonderful!
I love the picture of the cabin that you labeled "adorn" I would so love to wake up there and enjoy a beautiful fall weekend.
Beautiful photos! This time of year I'm always homesick for my New Hampshire roots. I do find the Fall to be the most relaxing time of year - no gardens to weed, no snow to shovel (ha! like I actually do that), no veggies to pick. We love to take our grandson to all the Fall Festivals going on! As he says, "Too much fun!"
GORGEOUS pictures!!! Breathtaking!! This is my favorite time of year too .... I think it's the vivid colors and the cool weather and the cozy food and the craft festivals and I could go on and on and on!!
P.S. zip on over to my blog (I'm right next door here in Blogland!) I'm having a Halloween giveaway!
Your fall is looking beautiful, Tipper! The colors are gorgeous. I went out for an early morning walk to catch a glimpse of the ducks on the pond and enjoy the brisk breeze. I try to get out early, before it warms up enough for the snakes:-O !
My favorite thing about fall is not sweating as much as in the summer. : ) In Houston we don't get the beautiful leaves so much, but we do get relief from the heat and humidity.
I like to play "try not to kill yourself driving down the road looking at Fall out the window!"
It makes my husband cuss when he rides with me. But it is so pretty!!!!
Ya'll are having a good fall. It hasn't really gotten going here yet.
Just looking at the leaves...and visiting a festival or two if we can get away.
Love the trees with the sun shining on them. God's landscape....magnificent.
I went to lunch on Friday with my friend, Auggie. As I was walking through Charles Center, I noticed a lot of leaves scattered in piles on the walkway. You know I just had to step on them all the way there so I could hear them crunch under my feet. Everyone was looking at me, but I was having fun and just kept going.
Tipper those pictures are so beautiful. You really have a knack for capturing just the right view and the right words to go with them. I haven't seen such spectacular colors in a long time. Thank you for sharing. xxoo
It's so beautiful there Tipper and that pup looks like he has been well taken care of.
Tipper you have me giggling this day. I would so do that same thing. Loftily looking up at the falling leaves and Bam! Walk into something. Ha ha! Those are beautiful pictures.
Decorate for Halloween!!!!
You knew that, right? tee hee
Are those persimmons? Or apples? The freckles make them look like apples. If they're apples my mouth is watering. If they are persimmons, I have plenty. Just don't know what to do with them.
You forgot: Beautiful!
Your pictures are gorgouse!
I like to walk in the cool autumn air. We don't have allot of leaves here to walk thru, but I like to drive around & look at them.
If we actually had fall, my favorite thing to do would be to walk in the woods, look under logs, listen to a stream, things like that. I love your photos, they are just lovely. A friend of mine sent me a small red maple leaf. I am so thrilled to get it. :)

Sci-Fi Revoltech #033
5 Inch Scale
By: Kaiyodo
$50 (price varies)
What's this? Yes it's the 12th Day of Gamera… Better late than never. This is my final Gamera review for now and with this review, we at Infinite Hollywood can claim to have more Gamera toy reviews than any website on the net! Or at least English speaking websites. This Gamera is the Revoltech version of 1996's Gamera 2: Advent of Legion.
This Gamera figure is similar in many ways to the original Revoltech Gamera and yet, quite a bit different too. Kaiyodo continues to find new ways to make these figures stand out. As much as I love the 1995 design of Gamera, I must admit that the 1996 design and by proxy this figure, are quite awesome too. The 1996 design is a perfect marriage between the original Heisei Gamera and the final Heisei Gamera.
Is this Gamera big and bad enough to take on Legion?!
This comes in your standard Revoltech adult collectible packaging. It's quite nice and the picture of the Gamera figure on the front is pretty stunning.
The back shows off the details and has your only instructions.
The inside panel has plenty of details in Japanese along with photos from the film. I hope you can read Japanese!
Everything is nicely packed in the velcro fastened window box. Perfect for display if you're a MOC guy.
Watanabe Yuuki is sculpting again and I was quite shocked to see how much this sculpt mirrors the 1995 version of Gamera. Don't get me wrong, there are some serious differences, but there are actually more similarities than I was expecting. However this is not a repaint by any means, any parts that look similar are in fact different but similar sculpts.
The face, head and elbows are the main areas where the design is different. I'm really digging the look on the face and the added bone claws in the elbows just help round the figure out. His hands are more like the Creature from the Black Lagoon than before.
The shell is slightly different and oddly rnough this time Revoltech have given him a rubber tail. It has only one Revoltech joint where it connects to the shell.
The paint is darker, richer in som easpects, but also a bit flatter. It helps set this Gamera apart from the previous ones and is a nice color tone, somewhere between classic Showa and 1995 Heisei. These are some great paint details on the claws and elbow spikes.
He's just a tad bigger than the first Revoltech Gamera. Gamera was supposed to have grown a bit, but this isn't a huge deal. I thought for sure he would be bigger, but he's nearly the same size. He's thicker however, which makes him appear bigger.
It's hard to say which I prefer.
Both are excellent!
The big difference of this Gamera is the Guyver-like Mega Smasher which he uses in the climax of the film. This is recreated here, with a detachable chest cavity piece that shows his chest open.
The details are sharp and the paint vivid and bright.
The front of the shell is removable, while the center "hole" is always there. You either chose to expose it or cover it.
Swapping the shell pieces is easy enough.
The articulation is largely the same as the previous Gamera.
The amount of joints is more than enough to allow you plenty of poses. The key differences would be that he has Revoltech joints in the writs (which are mostly negated by the sculpt) and the aforementioned lack of joints in the tail. I can't decided if the tail is bendy or not, but I'm thinking perhaps not.
That said, he moves really easily and if there are missing joints, you won't miss them too much.
Everything moves naturally and fluidly.
G2 Gamera is packed with accessories, although they aren't as useful as some of the previous Gamera accessories.
To start you get seven more mini-Legions. These appear to be the exact same sculpt and if anything the yellow stripes on them may be a tiny shade different. These are still super small accessories and bound to get lost.
Flying Legion
You also get three of the flying sculpt Legions. This is the second form of Legion.
The paint work is quite nice on these and they all get their own stands.
You also get the Legion nest thing. It looks really nice.
In the film Gamera shoots like a super fire by nearly unhinging his jaw to spray the flaming blast. This is replicated by removing his jaw piece.
And then threading the fire blast through the Revoltech joint in the jaw. Unfortunately I had issues reconnecting the jaw back in with the fire attached. I'm sure I could have gotten it if I messed with it long enough, but it wasn't worth it to me.
The G1 fire works well enough attaching the normal way.
You also get the nameplate and the orange box to round things out.
While this Gamera is the newest Sci-Fi Revoltech on the market (and thus more expensive than G1) it's still a great figure. There's enough that's different to make you want to have both versions. I suspect a lot of people will use this as their default Gamera, even though it doesn't have some of the perks of the first version. I too am finding myself falling in love with this design.
Score Recap:
Packaging – 8
Sculpting – 9
Paint – 8
Articulation – 8
Accessories – Name plate, 7 Mini Legions, 3 Flying Legions, Fire Blast, Legion Egg Flower, Orange Box
Value – 8
Overall – 8.5 out of 10
I'm giving this guy an 8 1/2 out of 10. He could be a 9 really, but I feel the G1 had a few more neat perks that should make it rate a bit higher. This is still an excellent figure, especially if you prefer this Gamera design.
This is definitely a Gamera figure worth owning, even if you have the 1995 version. I hope you've enjoyed the 12 Days of Gamera as much as I have.
4 Responses to Figure Review: Revoltech Gamera (1996 G2)
I do like this design, but I agree that the figure is lacking in coolness.
Yeah it's missing a bit.
I think it's because his face looks TOO good. I think we can agree that a goofier looking Gamera is preferred.
Any gamera is a good one.
