- Bob Vila TV Shows >
- Manhattan Remodel and Cape Cod Affordable > Episode 9: Paneling the Kitchen, Installing Hot Water, and Hanging Doors
Choosing a Historically Appropriate Door and Creating the Jambs and Hanging a Door
Bob joins Jason Hill of New England Classic as the paneling is installed in the kitchen and living area of the Manhattan Brownstone floor-through apartment. This ready-to-assemble Shaker-style flat panel is paint-ready, medium-density fiberboard faced with a wood veneer. The baseboard is applied first with panel adhesive, checked for level, and nailed in place. Each panel and vertical stile is then set and checked to be sure it?s level and plumb. Panels fit snugly into the rabbeted stiles and are tapped into place. Top rails and caps complete the profile. Bob then meets with Chris Vila, the project manager, and Robert Kirkpatrick of Rinnai to preview the tankless water-heating system. These compact units are wall-mounted and self-contained, have a copper heat exchanger inside, and flow valves with sensors to determine flow rate and temperature of the incoming water. These systems save 70 percent over traditional electric hot-water systems, provide significant space savings, and produce an endless supply of hot water. Bob wraps with the installation of Woodport historically accurate, five-panel doors. The Thorough Construction crew cuts mortises for the brass hinges, builds a jamb, installs it and sets it to level using shims, then trims the door before hanging it.
- Part 1: Installing the Pre-Cut Paneling System
- Part 2: Space Savings and Increased Effeciency With a Tankless Hot Water Heater
- Part 3: Choosing a Historically Appropriate Door and Creating the Jambs and Hanging a Door
- Bob shows the Woodport medium-density fiberboard doors selected for the Manhattan Brownstone. They are historically accurate five-panel doors like those made popular in the 1890s. The fifth panel is actually a horizontal in the middle of the door. These doors are paint-grade and will accept a nice painted finish. Bob works with the crew from Thorough Construction as they prepare the Woodport door for hanging on site. The door is stabilized by a horse that holds it steady while the work is done. A jig serves as a guide as they router the mortise for each brass ball-bearing hinge. The router creates uniform, flat cuts for the hinges on both the door and the jamb piece. The jambs and header are made from poplar. They are glued and then screwed in place, checked for square, then braced with temporary strapping before being transported to the rough opening. A single screw is set in the header to hold it in place while the installers shim it and check to be sure it is plumb and level. The door jambs and header are then screwed into place. They must trim the door along the bottom edge, which is taped to protect the finish from damage during cutting. Once in place, temporary drywall screws hold the door until the brass screws are inserted as a finish detail when all adjustments have been made.
This project deals with two very different notions of home. Bob begins on New York City's Upper West Side, where an 1890s Brownstone is revitalized through high-quality craftsmanship and sensitive design. New York's past meets its present, as the entire floor is recaptured and refurbished to create a spacious urban apartment on the doorstep of Central Park.
At the same time, Bob works with a Cape Cod developer to apply Massachusetts land use statute 40B to create affordable housing, and a neighborhood of homes in Mashpee, MA. These Energy Star certified homes show how quality building practices and reasonable asking prices can work together to provide livable, affordable homes and neighborhoods to those who work in our communities.

Episode 1 - A New Lift for a Manhattan BrownstoneDescription:
Bob is on Manhattan's Upper West Side to renew a 2,000-square-foot Brownstone apartment. First, he looks at what made Brownstones significant, including their details and façades.

 Inside the building, Bob shows how the space was cut up in the 1940s to make a warren of rooms. These walls and finishes will be removed as the space is gutted to prepare for new studs, walls, plumbing, and finishes.

 Pieces will be salvaged for architectural resale, including the pink sink from the bathroom and the retro cabinets in the kitchen, but everything else will go. Bob also visits Central Park, its caretakers, trees, and monuments.
Episode 2 - Demolition in the Manhattan BrownstoneDescription:
The big story is the cornice molding found in tact when the drop ceiling came down. The molding will set a tone for the main living space, where the bricks have been removed to install a flue liner and drafting fireplace. All of the 40s wall, surface, and ceiling treatments are gone, along with the lath and plaster, leaving the bare brick and exposed joists from the original construction. Remodels have cut into the joist work or damaged it, so some reworking will be necessary to build up for the floors and ceilings. The floor joists are sistered to make a level, solid footing for the Georgia-Pacific Plytanium subflooring that goes under the wood floor. Laser levels allow the carpenters to set level lines throughout the apartment horizontally for the floor and vertically for the new steel studs they are installing. Finally, a flexible flue liner is run through the wall, and up the chimney for the new fireplace.
Episode 3 - Building Affordable Homes on Cape CodDescription:
Affordable housing is the story in this project as Bob heads to Mashpee, Massachusetts on Cape Cod, where a state law is helping put higher density, affordable housing in place for four families who live and work in the community. Bob meets Pat Fiero of the Housing Assistance Corporation who explains the hurdles faced by families needing to live near their workplaces in a town where the average home price is $450,000. Bob visits Mashpee Commons and looks at mixed-use development that is providing a town center, housing, commercial property, recreational space, and a new church as a start to this new town development. Bob also meets the developer, Joe Valle, who explains the challenges in developing affordable housing and how this project was made possible by invoking Massachusetts? 40B land use and development law. On site, Bob Bevilaqua moves the earth to prepare the sites, shows the tie-offs for electrical and phone lines, and explains the drainage plan.

The Blue and Gold wasted no time pouncing on the Tigers. Back-to-back singles in the second inning from Megan Dettling and Lindsay Yearman got the bats going for the Raiders, and another pair of singles from Hannah Martini and Cori Gammon put the first two runs of the game on the board for Reed. With two on and two out, Mary Dettling smacked a double to clear the bases, pushing the Raiders' advantage to 4-0.
Still holding a 4-0 edge in the fifth inning, Yearman drilled a ball deep for a home run, increasing the lead to 5-0. The Raiders added one more insurance run in the top of the sixth after Martini doubled and Gammon singled into left field to bring her home.
Douglas managed to push its only run of the game across the plate in the seventh inning.
While the Raiders' bats were hot, Reed hurler Jacquelyn Sertic put on a pitching display as she took the circle for the Blue and Gold. Pitching a complete game, Sertic gave up eight hits while striking out seven Tigers, earning the win.
"We had an all-around good game," Reed coach Jon Wunder said. "I was very pleased with our offense and our hitting. We pounded out 14 hits. On top of that, our defense played solid. We had no errors behind a solid pitching performance. It was a pretty well-rounded game."
Reed (4-2, 1-0 in Northern 4A) will take the diamond again when it host Reno High on Tuesday at 3:45 p.m.

The Roundup: 'Community' returns, 'Frozen Planet' premieres, Web series & more
Discovery Networks
This Sunday at 8pm, Discovery premieres its beautiful new series, "Frozen Planet"
The big news in TV this week is the return of "Community," the little show that could, to NBC this Thursday [*Update: Comedy Central has announced that they will begin airing reruns of "Community" in 2013 - also on Comedy Central this week is the return of "South Park," but perhaps more importantly, "Ugly Americans," beautifully drawn, surreal, and brilliantly funny, Wednesday at 10:30pm]. Sunday, Discovery launches its spectacular new series, "Frozen Planet," at 8pm. This is another beautifully shot show exploring the nature of the colder parts of our planet, both above and below the surface. Kind of ironic that this show hits the screens on the tail end of one of the warmest winters on record in North America. Sunday also brings the season finale of AMC's "The Walking Dead," a must watch, although it might be difficult to top the episode from two nights ago which had major developments.

In 1999, a film publicist named Jeff Dowd sidled over to me at the Salt Lake City airport and gave me my first tout that year for a Sundance entry. "See 'The Blair Witch Project,' " he said. "I'm not even working for it, and I'm telling you this." I saw it, and when it opened in July of that year, I gave it a four-star rating.
Maybe it deserved it. No force on Earth could compel me to go back and see it again. It had an effective sense of accumulating horror. I liked it at the time. Since then, I've grown weary of the genre it inspired, the found-footage horror film. In this genre we are given low-quality home video footage, usually underlit, lacking in pacing and intentionally hard to comprehend. The premise is that the footage was taken before some unspeakable event occurred, was discovered later and now is in the film we are watching.
"Paranormal Activity" is the best subsequent example of a found-footage film. "V/H/S" is an example of the genre at its least compelling. It's an anthology of six separate horror stories shot in low-definition VHS. The first, "Tape 56," explains the other five. A group of masked intruders break into a house on a mission to retrieve certain videotapes. After routine haunted-house scares, they come upon the house's owner, sitting dead and decomposing in front of a wall of video monitors.
While one of the group stays to look at some of the video, the others explore the house and make more unsettling discoveries. The overall film consists of this linking film and five other stories, each with a different director and different casts — with slight overlapping of actors.
Do you want to hear the five stories? Better you should make sense of them yourself. One of the pleasures or punishments of the film is that we're not always sure when we have left one story and entered another.
The idea, I gather, is that "V/H/S" is sort of a showcase for its young directors and actors. Since it's such a muddle, I don't understand how any of them hope to stand out. It plays more like a student project in which several short films were cobbled together in the popular found-footage horror genre to masquerade as a feature.
What's the point? None of the segments is particularly compelling. Strung together, it's way too much of a muchness. These ambitious young artists might be better advised to make what I naively call a "real movie." For example, Ti West, one of the six directors, has already released "The Innkeepers," a well-made and effective haunted hotel movie that exhibited a real gift for framing and placement; it created some genuine scares out of what he showed and didn't show. I'd bet on a guy like that. If he showed me "V/H/S," I'd hedge my bet.

Good morning cool kids! How is your weekend so far?
This past Thursday, Borys Kit over at Hollywood Reporter dropped the news that Justin Lin isn't coming back to direct Fast & Furious 7. Universal wants to put the film out during Summer 2014 which means that Lin would have to prep that film now while being in post on Fast & Furious 6. Having directed the last four movies in the franchise back to back and most likely feeling the effects of franchise exhaustion, Justin Lin decided to bow out. The trade also stated that Universal is searching for another director, with a decision expected as early as next week.
Being a night owl pays off because I got word late last night and found out who the top three contenders are for the gig.
Drumroll please…
According to sources, they are…
1) Jeff Wadlow
Having directed Kick Ass 2 for Universal, the studio must really like what they see in the upcoming sequel.
Best known for directing The Lincoln Lawyer, Furman got Runner, Runner with Ben Affleck and Justin Timberlake coming out in the fall.
3) Harald Zwart
Zwart is best known as the guy who directed The Karate Kid remake with Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith.
So there you have it. What do you guys think? Chime in your thoughts below. If I was a betting man, my money would be on Wadlow because studios like to work with the same people. I guess we will find out this week.
But that's not all cool kids!

Niteowl, congratulations! That is excellent news. Wishing you a happy, healthy pregnancy.
Blade. Gr. This whole timing thing must be stressful, especially with all of us on pins and needles over your baby-status. :-b
But you still have some months - Spring has only just arrived!
As for the Little Emperor thing.... A couple of days ago I visited my friends who live in a tiny apartment here in NYC. She's a single mother of one son, and he is a gem. They have this charmed life together.. over supper we looked at photographs from their recent trip to Morocco. I so admire her for prioritizing things like travel and work over multiple babies, though she was considering a second kid at one point. They have been all over the world, they're multilingual, her son is incredibly cultured and cool and thoughtful. He's also well-socialized, not at all imperious or any of the other singleton stereotypes. It's never been a child-uproar - she has this nice peaceful home-life. Anyway, not to console you or anything- you'll get your baby yet. Have you ever eaten maca? It's this Peruvian superfood, linked to hyperovulation, and supposedly good for fertility woes in general... I know you'll say, "show me the randomized controlled trial!" But I'm pretty sure it's harmless, if not beneficial. I get it powdered and put it in smoothies with berries and yoghurt and stuff like that. Since I'm not a healthcare professional, I have no qualms with recommending random herbal substances over the internet.

Travel the Okefenokee Trail to get to The Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. Established in 1936 to preserve the 438,000-acres swamp and its unique ecosystems, the area is accessed by three main entrances: Waycross to the north, Fargo on the west and Folkston on the east. Inside the refuge, you'll find the Okefenokee Swamp Park, where you can take a guided boat tour or rent a canoe from Okefenokee Adventures. Fishing, hiking and an auto tour are also wonderful ways to experience the Okefenokee Wildlife Refuge.
You'll surely be tired from your swamp excursion, so plan to stay the night in nearby Waycross, Georgia. Pond View Fine Dining and Inn is a great place to stay, and they have an on-site restaurant as well.

International Agreements
The University of Hawai'i at Mānoa partners with educational and research institutions all over the world, providing networking and exchange opportunities for students, faculty, and scholars. UH Mānoa has partnerships with upwards of 300 overseas institutions at the University, College, and Department levels.
Agreement Level Definitions
University Level Agreements are signed by the UHM Chancellor and his or her counterpart at the overseas institution. University-level agreements are general partnerships of collaboration, or partnerships that involve the exchange of students for one or two semesters (whereby students pay tuition at their home university but are exempt or partially exempt from paying tuition at the partner university). University-level Agreements are initiated and sponsored by one or more UHM academic units, and administered by Mānoa International Exchange (MIX). Qualified students from general university-level overseas partners may also be nominated to attend UHM for one or two semesters via the Hoakipa Scholarship Program.
College and Department Level Agreements are signed by the College/School Dean and/or Department Chair and their counterparts at the overseas institution. Such agreements may involve general collaboration, faculty and scholar exchanges, joint research or publications, and other aspects of collaboration. While they may also include short-term student visits, they may not involve tuition waivers or substantial commitments of university resources (unless funded directly by the academic unit). These agreements are administered by Colleges, Schools, and Departments, rather than by Mānoa International Exchange (MIX); proposal forms are not required to be submitted to MIX.
Browse UH Mānoa Partnerships
- View Agreement Documents - University Level Only (NOTE: To view College and Department Level agreement documents, please contact the College, School, or Department directly.)
Propose a new University Level International Partnership
UHM faculty from any academic unit may propose new University Level Agreements (General, Hoakipa, or Student Exchange). Student exchange agreements are always based on reciprocity; there must be demonstrated interest from UHM students plus evidence that these students will benefit from the exchange. Questions about proposing a new international partnership? Contact MIX
Agreement Proposal Form - Complete and submit the original form, including signatures, to MIX (QLC 206). This form is an internal UHM document that should be completed by UHM faculty, not by a representative from the potential partner university.
Agreement Renewal Form - If your academic unit has an agreement that is nearing expiration, please complete this form and submit it to MIX (QLC 206). This form is an internal UHM document that should be completed by UHM faculty, not by a representative from the partner university.

What Can be Done About Fluid Leaking from a Dog's Ear?
We tend to take our bodies for granted until the time they start to trouble us. At times, the same is the case with the health of our dogs. Still, any issue with health leaves us a bit unnerved since most of us have little knowledge about canine anatomy, pathology and treatments.
When one sees fluid running down the ear of your dog's ear, it is likely to create a bit of a panic. It is important to understand the causes behind the problem and the treatments that are available.
Your dog's ears comprises of three segments.
- The pinna is the externally visible cartilaginous structure of the external ear. This ends at the ear drum.
- The middle ear is constructed of a small bone and an air filled chamber lined with a mucus membrane.
- The inner ear is responsible for receiving sound and is situated near the cerebrum and the cerebellum in the brain.
All parts of the ear are delicate. Although the external ear may appear strong, it is made of cartilage and not bone. Tampering with the middle and inner ear should be avoided at all costs. If there is any need for an examination of the internal or middle ear, it should be done by a specialist.
When your dog is troubled by ear mites, fungal infection, bacterial infection, or external substances like grass or weeds in the ear, it is very likely that he will scratch the external ear. The intensity will depend on the extent of his irritation. Aggressive and continuous scratching ruptures blood vessels beneath the skin. This causes the ear flaps to swell and results in an aural hematoma. An aural hematoma can cause blood or serum to leak into the area around the external ear. A similar condition can occur in a cat with ear mites.
The aural hematoma is the external manifestation of an underlying problem. The treatment of such cases like ear mites can come in the form of home remedies dog ear mites, ear cleaning, and ear flushing. The hematoma, however, needs to be treated by draining the fluid. This can be done in various manners:
- Syringe – This is a simple procedure, but it the solution is not permanent and can recur. This happens when the empty space left behind after removing the fluid gets filled again with blood.
- Surgery – This procedure involves a surgical incision of the ear flap to remove blood and clots that may have formed. To prevent recurrence, the empty space is stitched up and allowed to heal.
- External devices – This procedure involves a small flexible tube that is inserted into the ruptured vessel. This can be done only if the opening is large enough to insert the device. The success of the method depends largely on the cooperation and tolerance of the dog.
A dog with ear mites can develop hematomas very easily. This can lead to other infections as well. Removal of hematomas is a temporary treatment and the underlying cause also needs to be addressed. Even after the hematoma treatment, if your dog is still uncomfortable and is shaking his head or scratching ears, it is a sure sign that some infection or ear mites still exist.

While time is supposed to heal most wounds, some wounds do not heal over time. There are instances when natural healing falls short and a wound becomes an ongoing problem, leading to medical complications.
When the body's natural healing process fails and standard medical care doesn't solve the problem, specialized treatment may provide the answer. Our Center for Wound Healing focuses on treating the most difficult, non-healing wounds.
We have brought together a team of wound care experts and advanced technologies to offer the most comprehensive, state-of-the-art treatment options available for the management of complex wounds. Our team of specialists has advanced training and experience in therapies designed to heal wounds that have resisted healing for months, or even years.
In addition to experiencing ongoing pain or discomfort, people with chronic wounds are often unable to fully participate in activities they once enjoyed. At South Shore Hospital's Center for Wound Healing, our goal is to help wounds heal quickly to bring our patients greater comfort and an improved quality of life. When traditional treatment has failed, we are often able to help our patients heal and get back to the activities they have missed.
Millions of Americans suffer from chronic, non-healing wounds from a variety of causes. Our Center uses a comprehensive approach to the diagnosis and treatment of many types of chronic, non-healing wounds. Our specialists use the latest research and innovations in wound treatment, making it possible for us to help accelerate healing and reduce the risk of serious complications.
A surprising number of people require wound care at some point in their lives. Around 15 percent of patients with diabetes will have a chronic, non-healing wound during their lifetimes. Patients may experience a non-healing wound for reasons other than diabetes, such as radiation therapy, trauma or another medical condition.
A wound that doesn't heal can generate many complex challenges. Thanks to recent advances in the field of wound care, quite effective treatments are now available for healing chronic wounds. South Shore Hospital's Center for Wound Healing provides leading-edge diagnostic and treatment methods designed to evaluate and promote the healing process.
Because each wound is unique, patients undergo thorough evaluations to identify and assess their wounds, determine the underlying causes of resistance to healing, and tailor an individualized treatment plan.
Patients of the wound care center are considered part of the team committed to managing their condition. Working together, the team strives to manage pain, reduce the risk of serious complications, and help to accelerate healing.
South Shore Hospital's Center for Wound Healing focuses on treating the most difficult, non-healing wounds. Our expert wound care staff is highly skilled in the care of difficult, non-healing wounds. They are specially trained in wound management and hyperbaric treatment, and are dedicated to remaining up-to-date on latest advances in the field. Treatment options include the most recent technology, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Please call 781-624-4950 for more information.

Wait Listed?!
Getting on the wait list can be frustrating, especially when you've been wait-listed at one of your top choices. You should still congratulate yourself on the accomplishment because it means you're close to being accepted. Many candidates are denied admission outright, so pat yourself on the back.
However, it's important to keep in mind that with most business schools, you still have more work to do. Begin with the following steps:
· Be sure to contact the number provided by the school, if they've provided one, and let them know you are still interested.
· Let them know in writing of your continued interest.
· Write down the contacts you have at the school, whether they're alumni, students, faculty, or admissions committee members. You may consider contacting them about your waiting list status later in the process.
· Some wait-listed applicants also visit the schools and meet personally with admissions committee members regarding their candidacy. This also shows great interest and drive to attend the school.
Just sitting back and waiting for an acceptance letter won't help your candidacy, but well-thought-out moves based on why you were not originally accepted can. In order to figure out the reason for not being accepted, contact the school by phone or simply reassess your application based on statistics available on the school's website for their class profile.
Weak GMAT. If based on GMAT scores, retake the GMAT. Each person is allowed to repeat the test up to five times a year. Take a course, if you didn't originally. They are likely to improve your score. Send the updated scores to the school.
Weak Transcript. There is little you can do to dramatically improve a weak transcript. However, enrolling in courses and receiving good grades in business school preparatory classes shows initiative, interest, and improvement. Also consider sending in an additional recommendation from a professor that can attest to your academic strength.
Weak Work Experience. Let the school know about any added responsibilities or roles you have taken on since applying. Leadership or management roles may be especially helpful.
Weak Community Service. Send updates about leadership roles you've taken within community service organizations. Consider sending a recommendation related to your community service work, especially from a current student.
Weak Professional Goals. Consider telling the admissions committee more concisely where you have been and are going. You may do this in an interview, especially if you have yet to interview, or in a letter directed to an admissions committee member.
For a few schools—such as HBS or Wharton—that ask that you do not contact or update them, it's best to follow their directions. Do not contact them. A concise, thoughtful recommendation from an alumnus or student may help, but otherwise allow them to simply make their own decision based on your previously submitted application.
With any school, be sure all correspondence is substantive and be careful not to overdo it. Use your people skills to understand when you have done enough.

Full Video Replay | Video Highlights
DAHLONEGA, GA – The North Georgia women's basketball team trailed by as many as 17 points in the first half on Saturday afternoon, but rallied in the second half before falling 66-63 to Columbus State University in Peach Belt Conference action in Memorial Hall.
The Lady Saints drop their first game in 42 days, falling to 10-3 overall on the season and back to .500 at 1-1 in the Peach Belt Conference, while Columbus State improves to 8-3 overall and snag their first league victory, moving to 1-1 in the conference.
The Lady Saints took their lone lead of the first half in the opening minute as Sarah Stinson posted up and knocked down a layup to give North Georgia the game's first bucket.
Columbus State quickly responded and imposed their size in the middle to take control, opening up a double-digit lead at the 14:45 mark as Lauren Matheney hit a layup, giving the Cougars a 17-7 advantage.
The Lady Saints continued to struggle on offense as CSU ran away and claimed a 17-point lead with 5:25 remaining in the half, doubling up North Georgia 34-17 on a layup from Carrie Washington.
North Georgia took over from there, going on a 13-2 run to end the half, pulling the Lady Saints to within six at the intermission. Jessica Trice had the final blow, knocking down a three-pointer from the corner at the buzzer, capping the run and cutting the Columbus State lead to 36-30 at the half.
The Cougars came out in the second half and slowly pushed the lead back to double figures, using a jumper from Dominique Gilbert at the 9:38 mark to make it an 11-point CSU lead at 52-41.
Columbus State led by as many as 13 points in the second half before North Georgia made a run down the stretch, heating up from long range and inching back during the final minutes.
Lindsey Moss knocked a pair of free throws with the 1:12 remaining to cut the lead to five, and Trice came through again from long range, draining a three-pointer with 19 seconds remaining to make it a four-point game at 64-60.
After Columbus State's Tandria Milton connected on two free throws with 15 seconds remaining on the clock, Trice stayed hot and side stepped two defenders to find the bottom of the net again, making it a three-point game at 66-63 with just four seconds remaining.
The Lady Saints fouled the ensuing inbounds play, sending Milton to the line again who missed both attempts with Janyce Ealey coming away with the rebound, but North Georgia was unable to get off a final shot in the three-point defeat.
Columbus State's Gilbert led all scorers with 20 points, adding 12 rebounds for a double-double, while Marah Wright added 16 points and a pair of blocks in 29 minutes of action.
A trio of North Georgia players finished in double figures, led by 16 points and 11 rebounds from Moss who finished with a double-double, while Trice added 15 points on a 5-for-6 performance from behind the arc.
Ealey tallied 14 points of her own and finished two rebounds shy of a double-double, and Stinson had just four points, but was a block away from tying the program's all-time mark since entering the NCAA, tallying six blocks in 29 minutes of play.
The Lady Saints return to action next Wednesday evening, welcoming the University of Montevallo to town for a Peach Belt Conference battle. Tip-off against the Falcons is set for 5:30 p.m. in Memorial Hall.

Post subject: First SW costume: X-Wing Pilot Progress (w/pics)
I'm just going to copy and paste my post from the MWB forum
Alright everyone I'm new round these parts, but not new to cosplaying. You can see my other costumes here:
I've been to many cons, and events with Star Wars costumers, and it was only a matter of time before I did one myself. Some people are disappointed that I'm joining the rebels for my first costume lol, but I couldn't resist.
Because I'm working on other cosplays as well, I couldn't afford the top notch fiber-glass helmet
so I settled on the Rubies one. I'll be changing some of the padding on the inside, and repainting the outside. Not sure what colors or designs I'll use.
(the jacket I'm wearing in the pic is from my Power Rangers Time Force uniform lol)
I ordered a jumpsuit and vest from costumebase on eBay, because I have this sewing machine I'm still learning to operate! The suit hasn't come in yet.
Does anyone have a good tutorial for making the chest box? I've been looking all over for one. I thought I'd attempt to make that myself.

The BoJangles box is such a good kit right out of the box, there isn't much need for a tutorial on those nowadays.
It comes pre-painted with all the extras already supplied. Probably one of the easiest parts of the costume to get.

you are gonna need to mod the vest that you get. The straps are wrong and you will need to move the last couple channels up to get rid of the space, but I will say the flight suit is actually not too bad.(I think there's another thread around here with the actually nitty gritty.

Welcome. Don't let the naysayers get you down. However it has been discussed the CB flight suit is good, the vest needs modifications, and the Rubies helmet is Batha Poodoo.
But you know what? That really only applies to you. If you want to be near canon or just invoke the imagry. It also applies to if you want to do "official" trooping stuff or just want to hang out with friends.
If it's for your enjoyment... then enjoy!

I'm glad that's all that matters to people like you.
It's funny, over on the MWB Base boards Nash told us that she caught some grief from her local garrison for not going with a 501st costume... and the reception she gets from too many of us rebels is: "HI... hate your helmet... but hi!" And people wonder why we lose so many recruits to 501st... frakkin' pathetic!

Hey Geoff, chill a little on this, please! I understand your point. But please stop stoking the fire! Thank you!
I for one, have said I see no problems with Rubies that are modified. Painted, improved on etc. I've said it in one thread here in the Pilot forum as well as this thread:
I have personally seen a Rubies modified and it turned out great.
See pic below:

So many replies! Thanks for the welcome guys
I'm happy to join in on the fun. I haven't done a new costume in about a year, so I'm excited to do this one. I would like to join the Legion once it's complete so I can do events with you all! So I'll try to make it look awesome!
I'm going to order some arm tools, and flares from Ken the elvis trooper. And then I'll have to pace myself. The parts of the suit I've ordered so far are definately eating away my bank account lol. I'll wait for a few more paychecks before getting the box and boots and all that.
Don't worry Krash....I still feel welcome here. Shadow Squadran is in the Midwest isn't it? What do all the squadrans do? I've seen all the banners. Gosh, I sound like a total newbie lol bare with me guys hehe!
Also! it's cool to see some rangerboarders here as well. Thanks Jim!

I was casting no aspersions on the helmet maker (this time), just on the excess of Luke paint schemes, I always look forward to seeing costume paint jobs on our pilots' helmets.

Radix sp., showing copulation. The top snail is inserting its preputium (with penis at the preputium's tip) into the female gonopore of the bottom snail. The female gonopore is at the posterior of the "neck" stalk. The male gonopore is behind the right tentacle. During copulation, the preputium enverts carrying the penis at it enverted tip. Turgor pressure forces the preputium and penis out; penial retractor muscles pull it back after copulation. The vas deferens can be seen inside the preputium.

Page Outline
Cbench is a framework for benchmarking, stress-testing, and analyzing Linux-based parallel compute clusters
The Cbench project grew gradually from the frustration of having to redo the same work each time a new cluster was being integrated and brought on-line.
Using the Cbench toolkit to assist with the running of various tests, system administrators are better able to focus their efforts on testing and debugging the system during integration and maintenance.
Quick Links
What can we do with Cbench?
Cbench is utilized in a number of areas of HPC at Sandia National Labs:
- interconnect performance testing and analysis
- multiple bandwidth, latency, and collective tests
- scalability testing and analysis
- common benchmarks like Linpack, HPCC, NAS Parallel Benchmarks, Intel MPI Benchmarks, IOR
- file system stress tests using a mix of job sizes and flavors
- bonnie++, IOzone
- stressing the system with 10s to 1000s of jobs of various sizes and flavors (typically after maintenance or upgrades)
- synthetic benchmarks and real-world apps
- scheduler and resource manager testing
- launching multitudes of scaling jobs over a set of nodes
- testing nodes for statistical variation in performance compared to the performance profile of the cluster
- creating a basis for a deterministic methodology strictly detailing the testing process for returning broken hardware back into general production usage
Project Goals
The overarching goal is to make dealing with cluster testing much more tractable, which enables you to focus on what you really want to focus on, not on how to get there.
- Make it easy to build all the source code gathered within Cbench and make getting bootstrapped on a new cluster as easy as possible.
- Cbench tries to do this by centralizing as many configuration parameters as possible, including Make parameters and cluster definition parameters.
- Be able to quickly generate, run a large number of tests, and analyze the test data. To this end, Cbench uses the idea of 'test sets' which package up tests/benchmarks/applications into sets with utilities to:
- generate jobs for batch and interactive execution
- run many batch and interactive jobs easily
- analyze the resulting mass of output and synthesize it
- Make it completely painless to switch between different batch environments and different job launch methods (i.e. mpiexec, prun, yod, etc...) when running tests.
What Cbench IS
- a Perl-based scripting framework for building, running, and analyzing the output of various open source codes
- a highly useful toolkit for stressing a system for maintenance or acceptance testing
- an easy way to run benchmarks and analyze a cluster using any of a variety of tests
- a project created by HPC system administrators and engineers at Sandia National Labs
- a toolkit for flexible Linux cluster testing, from pre-acceptance testing to post-repair validation
What Cbench IS NOT
- a benchmarking program - Cbench allows you to run benchmarking programs (in addition to utilities and applications) in an easy manner. However, Cbench does not actually benchmark anything itself.
- a well-polished user application - Cbench is developed by system engineers for use by system engineers. Its use requires a fair amount of knowledge about specifications of the cluster and runtime environment. While not overly complicated, Cbench isn't something we recommend for use by 'normal' users.
Some examples that are relatively painless to do with Cbench:
- run 1000+ of parallel jobs over a range of 2 to 1024 processors using 10-15 different tests/benchmarks overnight and, the next morning, analyze what happened in minutes
- plot results in semi real-time (using gnuplot) for supported tests as hundreds of jobs run through the scheduler
- for a set of supported test jobs, easily analyze success/failure ratios according to job size (number of processes)
- run node-level nightly burn-in tests (i.e. on a single node without worrying about MPI) on a 4500 node cluster, analyze the results, and generate a statistic performance and fault profile for the nodes
- switch MPI job launchers and batch schedulers without difficulty
Cluster Testing/Benchmarking System Levels
We have observed that Linux cluster testing/benchmarking seems to fall into three different levels. Each level requires different but interrelated sets of tool.
Node Level The foundational level is the Node level. At this level, one is only concerned with testing a node in isolation without worrying about high-speed interconnects or system MPI libraries, etc. Hardware burn-in testing during integration is one example of this process. Since you will often be running this test on a cluster, you will probably want to test many isolated nodes in parallel. Some of the complexities at this level are:
- having a flexible set of tests to run on nodes
- having the ability to run tests on many nodes in parallel and organize the results
- analyzing the results from the tests as they are generated and comparing the results among the set of nodes running tests
- having the ability to quickly change the output parsing algorithms when new errors, conditions, data points, etc. are discovered to be of importance in test output
- comparing results of previous runs with current runs
- statistically characterizing the results to help focus on what really needs to be scrutinized for errors and aberrations in performance
Cbench has growing support for addressing testing at this level in the Nodehwtest Testset and currently has capabilities to address all of the complexities.
Point-to-Point Level The middle level is point-to-point system testing between nodes. This does not necessarily require utilizing any system MPI libraries or the high-speed interconnect. This level of testing can encompass anything from point-to-point netperf testing between all nodes (to test out Ethernet links) or point-to-point Verbs layer InfiniBand? testing (to test out IB network links below MPI). Cbench does not currently specifically address this area of testing... yet!
MPI System Level The top of the stack is the system level normally associated with Linux compute clusters, i.e. the MPI system level where parallel compute jobs run. At this level, one is concerned with testing the interaction of all the other system levels combined. As anyone who has been involved in cluster integration, testing, and or characterization knows, there are many complexities in dealing with testing at this level. Some of the complexities are:
- dealing with all the combinations of
- a set of tests/benchmarks to run
- a range of process counts to test on, i.e. 2,4,8,....1024
- 1 process/node vs 2 process/node, etc.
- running tests in an interactive mode versus a batch mode
- different batch schedulers
- different job launchers (i.e. mpiexec, mpirun, prun,...)
- different testing iterations or testing purposes from which to categorize results
- dealing with all the raw output in any sane way!
Cbench attempts to greatly simplify dealing with these complexities in several ways:
- centralize as much configuration as possible including Make parameters (make.def) and cluster definition parameters (cluster.def)
- provide the scripting infrastructure to easily generate/regenerate all the combinations of jobs desired at anytime
- support different batch schedulers and job launchers in a core library, and easily switch between them by changing the appropriate values in cluster.def and regenerating job files
- utilize the "testset" concept and structure
- provide a modular output parsing structure to make it as easy as possible to add/change parsing logic for tests and still utilize the core output parsing analysis capabilities

OTHER COLLECTIONS BY: Ohne Titel
2011 February 15
New York Fall 2011: Jenny Packham, Ohnel Titel
FirstView View Gallery
(NEW YORK) Jenny Packham
She dresses Bond girls and Hollywood celebrities alike, so you know there must be an element of sex appeal to her clothes. Jenny Packham's collection was all glamour and evening attire, and it was not for the wallflower. Most of the silhouettes were long, lean gowns, legging pants, and sassy cocktail dresses in nude and charcoal colors. Delicate halter necklines took plunging dips front and back, creating dramatic sex appeal. The beading and embroidery was so fine it looked like spider webs glistening with dew. Though its functionally hard to wear intricate beading on pants, leggings shimmered with a textured moth scale pattern. A show stopping nude chiffon dress had an antiqued glass bead chevron pattern that would flatter anyone's derriere. Drawing from moths for inspiration, this collection is certainly for creatures of the night.
Ohnel Titel
To infinity and beyond! The Ohne Titel girls were inspired by Apollo missions and space exploration this season. The collection was most certainly suitable for SoHo by night. Lush red, gray, and lunar white were injected with shots of metallic silver. Looped knit gray dresses looked fierce, even though they're undoubtedly soft and cozy. Warm and wooly was also found in the form of grey shearling zip coats and enormous hoodies. The black rib knit pants will be the most comfortable and stylish leggings you'll find for fall. For the most part, the otherworldly collection will be completely wearable on here on Earth.

Microsoft is committed to supporting the development of personal computer software that is fully accessible to individuals with disabilities-technology that enables them to use PCs at work, at school, and at home. To this end, accessibility options are built into our Windows operating system, and features specifically for individuals with disabilities are included in many of our software applications (such as Office XP). In addition, we are creating technology that can be used by software developers to make their products more accessible.
Currently, over 150 assistive technology products are commercially available. These assistive technology products enable individuals with disabilities to work in all types of environments, go to school and have ready access to the Internet. However, in spite of the wide variety of assistive technology products that provide access to PC systems for individuals with all types of disabilities, the majority of people around the world do not know of their available ability or how these products work.
How does an individual with a severe mobility impairment use a productivity application when he/she can't use the keyboard or the mouse? How does a programmer who is blind use a state-of-the-art development tool when he/she can't see the screen? These questions can be answered with assistive technology products that run on the Windows platform to provide complete computer access.
Technology-wise, we are rapidly moving towards a myriad of form factors and devices for performing tasks and to access the increasingly vast array of products and services on the Web. This has the possibility of incredible impact while at the same time, the very real yet disturbing possibility of making the Digital Divide a chasm, especially for people with disabilities. As cell phones and PDAs converge to be the new personal computers, what happens to students who are blind or fine-motor impaired? Today they are out of luck. Tomorrow, if we technologists work together with people with disabilities and do our jobs right with respect to access for everyone, they should be included in the revolution. But, it has to be designed in, thought about, and built upon. How do things like this happen? How can we insure that they always happen? However it happens, it can't be an after-thought. It has to be an invaluable product development process.
We will have failed to truly change the world during this so-called information revolution if a significant portion of humanity is locked out. The tools and services that we provide must be accessible for everyone. We can't appreciate any of this technology, nor truly value it, until we look at everything that will come together to weigh it ... The person who is blind on the Web. An individual who is deaf who wants to communicate with a colleague. The senior citizen who is arthritic. The child having a hard time in the classroom. We must also remember that technology developed with one disability in mind often results in helping individuals with a completely different disability, or multiple disabilities - or no disability at all.
Microsoft will continue to strive to build the most accessible products possible, and to work closely with assistive technology vendors to meet the needs of our customers with disabilities throughout the world.
