ciscop wrote:yes there could be risks in vaccinations
that´s too diferent that to say ¨doctors dont vaccinate their children¨
thats just so far of base
is funny somebody would say it
Correct me if I'm wrong ciscop, but I believe the main reason doctors don't vaccinate their own family members is because legally speaking, they cannot bill insurance for that procedure so they get their nurse or someone else to do it. I also believe there is some kind of oath that physicians take that states they will not perform medical procedures on their family. Anyone aware of that?

Bay LeafThe Bay Leaf (Laurus nobilis) is an aromatic member of Laurel family. Native to Asia minor, cultivation of the Bay Leaf spread through the Mediterranean and areas with similar warm climates.
The Bay Leaf has a long history of cultural, culinary and medicinal uses in many cultures. Highly prized in ancient Greece and Rome, the Bay Leaf was considered a symbol of accolade and used to adorn Emperors and poets, as well as triumphant warriors and athletes. References to it even appear in mythology.
In terms of culinary applications, the Bay Leaf is quite versatile when used for food seasonings. The warm scent becomes quite noticeable when the leaf is broken, releasing its fragrant oils. The Bay Leaf's flavor is slightly bitter and highly aromatic. Commonly used in soup, stew or sauce seasonings, the Bay Leaf can make foods with long cooking times quite flavorful. It's distinctive taste also makes it a good choice for pickling spice. It may be used singularly or with other organic herbs and spices as part of a bouquets garnis. When whole leaves are used, be sure to remove from the food before serving.
To prolong the leaf's flavor, store in a cool, dry location away from sunlight. In an airtight container under these conditions, bay leaves may retain their flavor for up to six months to two years for the best flavor.

Visit our sister restaurant Mahwah Bar & Grill

Way back in 1935, the Allendale Bar & Grill had its humble beginnings as a neighborhood tavern located in the old Allendale Hotel. Owned by Mike and Maude "Mom" Connelly, the establishment even then was known for its good food and generous portions at bargain prices. Mom, who took care of the kitchen, was known countrywide for her generosity to those down and out. Hoboes and vagrants dropping off the freight trains that rumbled through town were assured of a meal before passing on. She also established the tradition of inviting residents in for a free corned beef and cabbage dinner every St. Patrick's Day - much appreciated by residents in those Depression years. It's said that in her day there wasn't a fire in Allendale that Mom didn't attend to provide hot food and drink to the town's volunteer firefighters. Yankee immortal Babe Ruth was a frequent visitor.
In 1948, the AB&G relocated to its present site on West Allendale Avenue. Mom and her five daughters lived in the house next to the tavern. Gradually, she turned over more and more of the operation to her eldest daughter Marge and her husband Walt Kunisch, who ran the bar operations at night while working as a printer during the day. Pizza to eat in and "to go" was added to the basic menu. In fact, present owner and third generation member Mike Kunisch learned the restaurant trade literally at his father's knee by folding pizza boxes when he was just five years old. In 1975 Mike Kunisch and his wife Bobbie assumed full ownership and control of the AB&G. Anticipating the trend toward moderate drinking and more wholesome food, they initiated a major renovation and expansion program that transformed the AB&G into the cheery, country-style restaurant it is today.
In 1992, the Kunisches acquired the Mahwah Bar & Grill and celebrated the arrival of the fourth generation, sons Chris, Craig, Ken, and daughter Katie, to help run the business. This building was rich in history as well. Formerly a general store and gin mill, it was a gathering place for the nearby workers of the Acme Brake Shoe Factory and Mahwah Ford Plant. It was home to one of the first televisions in town, and neighborhood kids used to gather out front to peer into the windows in hopes of seeing the likes of Mickey Mantle on TV. Like the AB&G before it, this local pub made the transition to family eatery. The original tin ceilings as well as one of the oldest bar structures in the state are still in place. A beautiful sixty seat outdoor patio is a favorite gathering place.
Most recently, the Kunisches decided to open an operation in a town dear to their hearts - Manchester, Vermont. In 2005, having been homeowners in town for more than twenty years, they purchased the historic property on Depot Street now home to the Manchester Bar & Grill. The former barn that became the Track Fore restaurant was lost to a fire in the 1980's. It is said that many locals, while upset by the terrible fire, did find comfort in the fact that those walls would definitely never talk. The renovated building seemed perfect for the Kunisch specialty - the transition of a historic local pub into a family-friendly bar and grill. Youngest son Ken jumped on the opportunity to relocate to the state where he spent his college years, and the Bar & Grill formula made its way to the Green Mountain State. Their prediction: continued success at all the locations so long as they never lose track of Ma Connelly's goal some seventy years ago of providing good food and plenty of it and generous drinks at reasonable prices to her customers!

Wireless LAN should work out of the box. I didn't test it so far as I prefer a wired connection.
This Notebook has a Realtek ALC 833. Run
cat /proc/asound/version
If it returns
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.17.
(or a higher version) then continue reading at Edit modprobe.conf
Compile the newest Alsa-driver
Go to the AlsaProject download-page and download the Stable Release of alsa-driver. Then unpack and compile the package:
tar -xf alsa-driver-xxx cd alsa-driver-xxx ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel --with-sequencer=yes make
Finally run this as root:
make install
Note: You must do this everytime you (re-)install or your kernel, because its (old) alsa-module overwrites the one you just installed.
Unmute channels
Open a terminal and type
Use the arrow keys to turn up volume where you need it.
Mute your speakers and use your headset
You might have noticed that your speakers do not get muted automatically when you put in your earphones. Here's my solution to do that manually: Open up alsamixer (like described before) Mute Surround by pressing M (for mute), so it says MM instead of 00. Now you won't hear anything from the built-in speakers, but you can use your earphones.
Start alsamixer, navigate to 'mic' and set it to capture by pressing the 'spacebar' key on keyboard; the word 'capture' will appear at the bottom of the 'Mic' control when capture is set.[1]
There are two possible drivers you can use for the Nvidia 6150 Geforce Go. I recommend the non-free driver, because the open one had no mouse cursor as I tried it (which was really annoying). If you want 3d-allocation, you must use the closed source one.
Nv (free driver)
pacman -S nv
Here's no customized xorg.conf yet. Go make one yourself following this guide and post it here.

Cpufrequtils is a CPU Frequency Scaling, a technology used primarily by notebooks which enables the OS to scale the CPU speed up or down, depending on the current system load and/or power scheme. Note that the module you need to load at the CPU Frequency Driver part is powernow-k8.
Disable file access time
Doesn't write the access time every time you read or modify a file. See here.
Laptop mode tools
They allow your HD to spin down when it isn't used. See here.
If you plan to copy a big file or do some other hard-disk-stressing operation, your MD98300 will totally hang until its done under linux (thats at least my experience). With ionice, you can start applications with a different read/write scheduling class so it doesn't hang anymore.
pacman -S ionice
(I'm not sure about that because it seems to be in a group - but pacman knows everything so it should point you to the right way)
Here's an example how to use it:
ionice -c 3 cp /path/to/huge/file /path/of/the/copy
It starts cp with the scheduling class idle. That means that you shouldn't get a hanging system while it is copying (although it will need longer, but thats the deal).

In a recent teary interview with E!, LeAnn Rimes admits she doesn't regret having an affair with Eddie Cibrian while they were both married to other people, but she hates how she handled the whole thing.
You may remember that the pair fell in love in 2009 while making the Lifetime movie Northern Lights and ultimately left their spouses Dean Sheremet and Brandi Glanville. "I call it insanity! Absolute insanity," she said of falling for each other. "But nothing ever happened between us except for on camera, you know, during the film ... Absolutely nothing. I had no idea what life was throwing me and I had no idea how to handle it ... But all I knew was I could not ... we couldn't stop connecting in some way. And it was the hardest thing I've ever been through in my life."
The hardest thing that she's been through! What about their devastated and humiliated spouses? What about Eddie's kids who now have to deal with constantly bickering parents?
"I wish I handled it differently because I wish it could've been better for me, for Brandi, for Dean, for Eddie, and for everyone else," Rimes explained. "I know in this situation it's gonna take some time, all I wish is that everyone that was hurt, that we hurt, that I hurt, can be happy."
Sorry, but I am not buying this so-called mea culpa. Her biggest regrets seem to be looking like the bad guy in all of this. For most of her life, she has been the sweet-faced, country crooner. Now being branded a home-wrecking hussy is almost too much for her to bear. "I'm like, can someone come up with anything like more, I don't know, original?" she joked, before beginning to cry.
It's certainly been hard for her to deal with the most vicious of critics. Her recent emotional breakdown can partly be attributed to that. It also doesn't help that Brandi is very vocal about how much she dislikes LeAnn. But it seems all the pain and suffering -- hers and that of others -- has all been worth it for the star. "When you endure those kind of hardships, at the end of the day if you can't make it through that, you can't make it," she said. "And we've made it through a lot ... We fought for each other."
Do you think LeAnn is really sorry for how much the affair devastated their loved ones?

Leaves foul morning rail commute
STAMFORD -- A day after announcing regular train service would resume on the New Canaan Branch for the first time since Superstorm Sandy, Metro-North Railroad was again forced to resort to bus service Tuesday, after rain and wet leaves made rails too slippery for locomotives.
On Tuesday afternoon, the railroad dispatched a grime-fighting machine, Waterworld, which sprays highly-pressurized water on the rails to clear the leafy gunk.
The cleanup required the suspension of New Canaan Branch train service and the substitution of buses, with regularly scheduled trains resuming with the 3:57 p.m. train from Stamford.
Overnight rain and a glut of fallen leaves along the line created "slippery rail" conditions on the just-relaunched branch line which had been shut down for 15 days due to damaged overhead power and signal wire equipment, rail spokeswoman Marjorie Anders said. When train wheels crush leaves, rails become covered with a slimy substance called pectin, which causes trains to slide.
"After a suspension of two weeks and one day, we had to have a rainy morning," Anders said.
On Tuesday, the condition caused delays across the New Haven Line as well as the Danbury and Waterbury branches. On the New Canaan Branch, the condition caused delays of between 30 and 40 minutes during the rush hour before the decision was made to revert to bus service.
After completing its New Canaan Branch cleanup, Metro-North will use Waterworld overnight into Wednesday to scour the outside tracks on the New Haven Line between New Rochelle and South Norwalk, the outside tracks on the Hudson Line between Yankee Stadium to Tarrytown, and all four tracks of the main line from the Bronx to Grand Central Terminal, Anders said.
Waterworld consists of a switching locomotive followed by two 10,000-gallon tanker cars, with a washer/scrubber car that has a compressor and two high pressure nozzles that spray water at 10,000 pounds per square inch onto the rails, followed by another locomotive.
"It heats up the water as it is compressed and basically gets rid of the slime," Anders said.
Mid-day service on the branch line was replaced by buses to allow the train to work, Anders said.
Metro-North used a specially outfitted pickup truck-like vehicle, called a rail washer, to clean off the New Canaan Branch rails overnight, but Tuesday morning it became apparent it had not washed away enough of pectin to avoid problems.
Slippery rail conditions on the New Canaan Branch are especially problematic near Talmadge Hill station which passes through several steeper grades, requiring slower travel when rails are covered in wet leaves.
"Talmadge Hill is really a problem because a steep grade makes it really impossible," Anders said. "We're trying to get the regular schedule back on track."
Natalie Owens, of Norwalk, said in Springdale Tuesday afternoon she was hoping train service would return in time for a trip she had to make back to Springdale Tuesday evening. Using bus service on the New Canaan Branch last week has created additional angst in her daily commute.
"You don't know if they are going to be coming early or late and if the drivers will know what they are doing," Owens said. "I've been miserable."

The questions are always with us. Does God really exist? Are science and religion incompatible bedfellows? Charles Darwin shook philosophy to its foundations with his theory of evolution, yet strangely, he himself refrained from commenting in depth about the religious implications for fear of adding to the furor.
But suppose that he did in fact write down his conclusions as a secret addendum to his seminal work, Origin of Species. And suppose his beloved wife, Emma, who kept her own secret journal, was the only other person to know of this hidden postscript.
The novel Survival of the Fittest is the modern day story of the search for these two hugely significant works. An eccentric and endearing London antiquarian book dealer is hired by an equally eccentric American billionaire to track down the documents for his world famous collection of original manuscripts.
The complex investigation ranges across England, from historic towns and stately piles to prisons and Darwin homes, and involves a series of encounters ranging from the criminal to the romantic and the revelatory. Along the way, it explores the spiritual struggle within the extraordinary Darwin household, and the effects of that same struggle on the creators of the atom bomb and on modern terrorists.
Do we want to know the answer, or will it stir up a hornet's nest?
This dramatic investigation of man's spiritual dilemma occupies the spaces between authors Dan Brown and Richard Dawkins.

The Pennsylvania Ballet returns to the boards Feb. 9 through 12 with "Pushing Boundaries" at the Merriam Theater. The East Falls-based company will perform William Forsyth's "The Vertiginous Thrill of Exactitude" to music by Schubert plus two works by its choreographer-in-residence, Matthew Neenan: "Keep," to music by Borodin and Rimsky-Korsakov, and "11/11" to songs by Rufus Wainwright.
The set of performances will mark the final appearance with the company by Riolama Lorenzo. The Manayunk resident will be retiring after 10 years with the ballet troupe to focus her life on her husband, Javier Lasa, a doctor at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and their two children, six-month-old Rio Maria and four-year-old Sebastian.
Riolama Lorenzo had been a dancer with America's premiere company, the New York City Ballet, for five years when she left the company in 2000, returning to Miami. It was there that she met the man who would become her husband. He was planning to move north to Baltimore to attend medical school at Johns Hopkins University.
"I realized that Baltimore was very close to Philadelphia," Riolama recalled, "and I knew of the Pennsylvania Ballet." The company was founded by Barbara Weisberger, a disciple of the late George Balanchine, the founder of the New York City Ballet (in 1933 with Lincoln Kirstein) and one of the greatest choreographers of the 20th century. The Balanchine repertoire has been at the very center of the Pennsylvania Ballet throughout its history.
"I got back into dance shape," Riolama remembered, "started taking classes, came to Philadelphia and auditioned for Roy (Kaiser, the West Mt. Airy resident and artistic director of the Pennsylvania Ballet) on the stage of the Academy of Music, where the company was performing 'Coppelia.' He hired me on the spot and recalled having seen me dance at the New York City Ballet with his brother, Russell."
Riolama included Roland Petite's "Carmen," Christopher Wheeldon's "Swan Lake" and "Giselle" among her favorites. "I wanted to retire at the high point of my career," she explained, "and not go out at the lowest of the lows. Now it's time."

The Philadelphia Orchestra welcomed Herbert Blomstedt to its podium and pianist Leif Ove Andsnes to its solo spot this past weekend to perform the music of Beethoven. In concerts heard Thursday and Saturday nights and Friday afternoon, Jan. 19 – 21, in the Kimmel Center' s Verizon Hall, Andsnes was featured in the "Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor;" in the second half of the concert, Blomstedt led the Philadelphians in "Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, 'Eroica.'"
The Third Piano Concerto is the first in which Beethoven leaves behind the strictures of Mozart's brand of piano concerto and launches his own interpretation of the form, just as the "Eroica" Symphony is the first manifestation in that form of where he intended to take the symphony once into the 19th century.
In the concerto, Beethoven expands both the size and the scope of the music. No longer is the piano concerto an enlarged version of chamber music as it was for its creator, Mozart; for Beethoven, the piano part, though virtuosic, is integral to the scheme of organic development that can be found in all of his music.
Andsnes' rendition of the solo piano part in the Third Concerto was exemplary for its technical precision and tonal clarity, but it still left me a little cold and unmoved Saturday night.
On the podium, Blomstedt is something of a minimalist. His interpretation seemed to be both solid and expressive, but the score's inner workings were not particularly well served Saturday evening.
"Music from the Back Porch" will present cellist Linda Metzler and soprano Rachel Levine in recital 4 p.m., Sunday, Jan. 29, in Fort Washington's Or Hadash Congregation, 190 Camp Hill Road, and 3 p.m., Sunday, Feb. 5, in Christ Ascension Lutheran Church at 8300 Germantown Ave. The duo will be joined in performance by pianists Hui Sy Long and Barbara Browne. Levine has lived in Chestnut Hill, West Mt. Airy and Wyndmoor and now resides in Ambler; Metzler has lived in Germantown and now resides in Conshohocken.
Their program will include works by Scott Robinson of Chestnut Hill, William Sydeman, Betty Roe, Strauss, Dvorak and Bernstein. Admission is $10 and $15 for couples and families. For more information e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Saving Private Bergdahl
How a member of a special operations unit almost lost his leg—and his life—on a mission to retrieve Bowe Bergdahl.
Recently I received the following email from a service member I have known for years whose career in a special-operations unit was ended when he was wounded in July 2009:
"The night I was shot, I was on a rescue mission to save Bowe Bergdahl. He is a deserter. The information I was given before I went on the mission told me as much. He willingly walked off his base.
Story Continued Below
More than a few service-members risked their lives trying to find/rescue him."
C. was an assault-team member in a direct-action unit when it was tasked with a mission to recover Pfc. Bowe Bergdahl days after he walked off his base in Afghanistan in 2009. He has not spoken about it before because he comes from a community that values codes of silence.
But as he listened to the claims and counterclaims that greeted Bergdahl's release, which have prompted a Pentagon investigation, C. told me he felt compelled to speak out about what he experienced that night in 2009.
He came to me to tell his story because we've known each other for more than a decade, having met on location while I was making a documentary. C., who has spent his career performing high-risk duties for his country, said he didn't want his story to be "partisan."
He wants people to hear at least one piece of the truth about the costs of Bowe Bergdahl's actions, from someone who was there.
The night Bergdahl disappeared, C. and some of his crew were at the Special Operations op-center on a base in Afghanistan. C. was handed a sheet with details on Bergdahl. As C. remembers it, the paper was pretty clear: "that he had gone AWOL." There was still some confusion surrounding the events, but "Bergdahl's buddies were saying pretty decisively that he had walked off the base and deserted his post," says C. "We were informed that he'd gone into town, where he was asking people if they spoke English, and he'd gotten himself captured by Taliban."
Having read the report, C. remembers turning to a member of his crew and saying, "This kid is going to get people hurt or killed trying to get him back."
A few days later, C. and his team convened in a small shack at their base. They had been told by their leaders there was now a good indication of where Bergdahl was. And C.'s unit was being tasked with a rescue mission to get him.
On the night of the Bergdahl rescue mission, "I was angry," C. recalls, "because I knew he had walked off his base, and the conditions we were going out in to get him were not in our favor. When we operate, it's always an away game. We're going to their neighborhood. We like to have certain atmospheric conditions that are helpful. Without getting into tactics, let me just say that the atmospheric conditions that night were not what we would typically choose to use. So as we're heading out in the helicopters, I'm angry because our target's a deserter and all of us—my buddies and the helo crews—are putting our lives at risk because this kid did something stupid."
The objective was to retrieve Bergdahl "before he was taken to a part of the territories where we were not allowed to go," says C. "We knew he was likely at a staging point, from which folks would courier him over the border and take him somewhere we couldn't get him." That staging point was where C.'s unit was headed, and they knew it would be an exceedingly hostile place. In short, C. says, he and his guys were heading into "a bad neighborhood."
As the helicopters approached the location, C. remembers being "pissed at that kid, who was putting everyone at risk, but I also didn't want his mom to see the YouTube video that Daniel Pearl's mom had to see." That gave C. clarity. "I knew that Bergdahl had done something foolish, but I also knew it was better to get ahold of him, rather than have the other side torture and decapitate him."
They found themselves in a very bad neighborhood indeed.
"I knew the enemy fighters were serious players when I heard the machine guns over the sounds of the helicopters as we landed," says C.
C. won't disclose any classified details of that night raid for Bergdahl. But he does paint the broader picture. "We had to find that kid. We were hauling ass. There were people running everywhere, a lot of different pockets of gunfights. It was extremely dynamic. Tracer bullets that looked like flaming beer cans whizzed by as we rushed toward the enemy." The unit honed in on the scattered and entrenched cells of fighters. "They were heavy hitters—the varsity team," C. says. "Guys who were sent to get that kid back across the border."
"It was a mean fight," he says, the kind of gun battle "where everybody gets a vote." Ten minutes into it, C. and his comrades identified a ditch where several enemy combatants were hiding. As they ran toward it, the enemy began firing. "I fired back," C. says, "and the person I was firing at had a buddy who started spraying his AK-47 on full auto."

2014 hyundai santa-fe Model Overview
Vehicle Overview
Growing in size to accommodate third-row seating, the 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe effectively replaced the 2012 Veracruz as the Korean automaker's (six- or) seven-passenger crossover. A two-row Santa Fe Sport is also available. The Santa Fe is powered by the same 290-hp 3.3-liter V-6 with 252 lb-ft of torque as the Azera sedan. Front-drive models are EPA-rated 18/25 mpg city/highway, while the all-wheel-drive model gets 24 mpg on the highway. In its second year, the 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe gets mild trim revisions.
"The interior of the two Santa Fes have a flowing center stack that's typical of Hyundai," we said in our 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe First Look. "Both models offer Hyundai's third-generation navigation system on a multifunction eight-inch touch-screen display. Hyundai's Blue Link service (think OnStar) is standard on all Santa Fe models, while the long-wheelbase Santa Fe gets blind spot detection. Other available features include a panoramic sunroof, push-button start with keyless entry, and heated front and rear seats. Amenities include a second row that folds flat and splits 40:20:40, and is available with the ability to slide fore and aft. The three-row Santa Fe boosts 1.9 inches more second row legroom than the Santa Fe Sport. The Santa Fe's third row is split 50:50, can fold flat into the floor, and offers 31.5 inches of legroom."
In our 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe First Drive, we said, "The high riding position and light body (at 3950 pounds, it's more than 200 pounds lighter than the Toyota Highlander) made this vehicle downright fun to toss through some twisty roads around San Diego. The ride was smooth and exceptionally quiet, attributes the Veracruz did not possess… Mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, Hyundai's V-6 never wanted for power. During aggressive driving, the transmission now and then seemed unsure of what gear it wanted to grab, but for the most part, it performed well. Hyundai rates the Santa Fe's towing capacity at 5000 pounds."
With the redesigned 2013 Santa Fe (and Sport), Hyundai introduced its new all-wheel-drive system with Torque Vectoring Cornering Control (TVCC), which distributes torque as needed to an individual wheel to improve handling. The Santa Fe also features Driver Selectable Steering Mode (DSSM) system with Comfort, Normal, and Sport modes. The 2013-2014 Hyundai Santa Fe hasn't been rated by the NHTSA, though the 2013 Santa Fe is considered a Top Safety Pick by the IIHS.
New for 2014
For 2014, a blind spot monitoring system is available on all Hyundai Santa Fe trims levels, while the Technology Package includes a rear parking assistance system, cooled front seats, and memory front seats. The Premium Package includes rear side window sunshades.

Painting can be a significant undertaking, whether you're painting just one room or an entire home. While some people like to take on this project themselves, many choose to hire professionals to ensure the task is completed correctly.
Types of Interior Paint
Matte Paint
Matte paint doesn't have a shiny quality when it dries, which many homeowners prefer for their interior walls. This is the most popular style of paint for homes. It covers up irregularities in the wall well but is also easily blemished.
Matte Enamel Paint
Matte enamel paint has all the positive qualities of matte paint but will last longer and isn't scuffed as easily.
Gloss Paint
Gloss paint will dry with a shine to it and is the second-most popular choice for interior wall paint. The shiny quality highlights imperfections in a surface, so people tend to stay away from it when painting wood.
Semi-Gloss Paint
Semi-gloss is also shiny but less so than gloss paint. It's more commonly used on trim than on walls.
Satin Paint
Satin falls somewhere between gloss and matte in terms of shininess. It will highlight imperfections well, like gloss, but is easy to clean.
Eggshell Paint
Eggshell is also between gloss and matte on the shininess scale, but it won't highlight imperfections quite as much as satin, semi-gloss, or gloss.
Types of Exterior Paint
Exterior paints have similar choices for finishes as interior paints, but the pros and cons can be different for outdoor use.
Gloss Paint
Though gloss paint will make imperfections easily seen, it will also hold up to the elements the best. This paint is best suited for areas of a home or building that are frequently used, like door frames.
Semi-Gloss Paint
Semi-gloss paint is similarly long-lasting but isn't as shiny as gloss.
Satin Paint
Satin paint is commonly used for siding but will display irregularities underneath if the siding isn't in good shape.
Flat Paint
Flat paint is the best choice if painting over siding that has many dents, scrapes, or other imperfections.
Oil-Based Paint
If you're repainting a home that has been previously painted with oil-based paint, your best bet is to stick with this option. Water-based paint layered over old oil-based paint will peel easily.
Water-Based Paint
Water-based paint, or latex paint, dries quickly and cleans up easily, making it the preferred paint for a home's exterior. It will also expand when warm and contract when cool, which means it will hold up in all types of weather.
Hiring a Painter
When embarking on a project as big as painting your home, it's important to know ahead of time what kind of quality you can expect from the painters you hire. Don't settle for the first one you find or the cheapest option. Instead, do your homework to be sure that you hire a trustworthy professional who knows how to paint a house well.
The first thing you'll do when hiring a painter is request quotes from three or four in your area. If you reach out to too many, you'll wind up wasting time narrowing down your list; too few and you may not end up with the best quality or right price.
The typical price range for an interior paint job is between $400 and $4,120, with the average falling around $1,670, depending on the scope of the project and paint requests. It will typically cost around $380 to $790 to paint a typical 10-by-12 foot room.
The cost to paint a home's exterior is a little higher: between $730 and $5,600, with an average of $2,624. The typical home of between 500 and 1,500 square feet will generally cost between $1,000 and $3,000, but this will change depending on the number of stories and home location.
If a quote seems high, ask the contractor what is increasing the price point. Perhaps it's something that can be negotiated, or maybe this business is just overpricing their services. On the other hand, be skeptical of any price points that seem unfathomably low. There could be a reason their prices are below the industry norm - perhaps their quality standards are uncommonly low, too.
Once you have quotes, conduct an over-the-phone interview with your prospects. Some important questions to ask your painter include:
1. Do you have insurance?
It's never a good idea to hire a contractor whose business isn't properly insured. Ask both about comprehensive business liability insurance and workers' compensation, and don't be hesitant to ask for proof. If you are unsure of the validity of the insurance, you can also call the insurance company to double-check that it is an active policy.
2. Do you have a warranty?
Not offering a warranty is a red flag, and you may want to be cautious about hiring a company that doesn't provide one. If they have a warranty, ask how long it lasts, and what it covers. Additionally, you'll want to get the warranty in writing should you need to refer to it later.
3. Who, specifically, will be in my house, and can I trust them?
You always have a right to know who will be entering your home. If the person you are speaking with says he or she will not be personally supervising the project, ask who will be, what their role is, and how long they've been with the company.
Also, don't be afraid to ask if the painters are trustworthy people. Unfortunately, there are plenty of cases where a painter has stolen items from a home or caused damage to the house or injury to the homeowner. Subcontractors may not be as skilled as employees, and the contractor you're hiring may not have much experience working with them, making them more of a risk. Additionally, ask if the painters are employees or subcontractors, and what the screening or hiring process is like. If the company conducts background checks, that's a good sign.
4. What kind of training do your employees receive?
If the contractor makes a point to train new hires on safety techniques as well as quality standards on the job, you're probably in good hands.
5. What kind of paint will you use?
The quality of the paint will affect how good the walls look when the project is completed. If your contractor says they plan on using a paint you don't like, feel free to request an alternative.
6. How long have you been in business, and do you have references?
A well-established company will have more experience and likely more references for you to reach out to than a new company that's just getting off the ground. Be sure to ask for references so you can speak to former customers about their experience working with the painter. When speaking to these people, ask about:
- Whether they had issues with the crew
- If the painters were messy or neat
- How the paint has held up since the project was completed
7. How much wall prep is included in the price?
For a long-lasting paint job, a clean wall is crucial. Ask how they plan to clean your walls, if at all, before getting started. A high-quality company will thoroughly prepare a wall so that the paint will lay smoothly and last a long time.
8. Are you active in the community and are you involved in any trade organizations?
Community involvement shows the company:
- Is established and well-known
- Cares about its customers
- Is confident in their work
Additionally, being active in trade organizations indicates it is likely up to date on the latest industry best practices and that the company is dedicated to its trade. Also, a Better Bureau Business membership demonstrates the company is stable, confident, and willing to let potential customers check them out before hiring them.
Trade Organizations for Painters
If the company you hire is involved in a trade organization, it shows they take pride in their work, and are dedicated to providing quality service. Some top trade organizations painters might be a part of include:
Painting and Decorating Contractors of America
PDCA connects painters and home decorators through local chapters and councils. The organization also provides webinars, educational videos, and podcasts so members can stay up to date on the latest best practices and news.
American Coatings Association
The ACA doesn't focus on best practices so much as it does on best products. The nonprofit is dedicated to research and development of high-quality paint products as well as sustainability issues.
Finishing Contractors Association
The FCA has members that are painters as well as professionals who focus on flooring, drywall, and other elements to home construction and renovation.
Better Business Bureau
The BBB isn't a painter-specific group but rather an organization that is dedicated to ensuring that consumers can access information about anyone they do business with. The BBB also rates companies based on a Standards of Trust scale, which goes from A+ to F. A company doesn't have to be a member to get a grade, and it's a good idea to check to see how your contractor is scored as well as its membership status.

There are four methods for using an address pool:
Except for the round-robin method, the address pool must be expressed as a CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) network block. The round-robin method will accept multiple individual addresses using a list or table.
The sticky-address option can be used with the random and round-robin pool types to ensure that a particular source address is always mapped to the same redirection address.
In this example a pool of two addresses is being used to translate outgoing packets. For each outgoing connection PF will rotate through the addresses in a round-robin manner.
match out on $ext_if inet nat-to { 192.0.2.5, 192.0.2.10 }
One drawback with this method is that successive connections from the same internal address will not always be translated to the same translation address. This can cause interference, for example, when browsing websites that track user logins based on IP address. An alternate approach is to use the source-hash method so that each internal address is always translated to the same translation address. To do this, the address pool must be a CIDR network block.
match out on $ext_if inet nat-to 192.0.2.4/31 source-hash
This rule uses the address pool 192.0.2.4/31 (192.0.2.4 - 192.0.2.5) as the translation address for outgoing packets. Each internal address will always be translated to the same translation address because of the source-hash keyword.
web_servers = "{ 10.0.0.10, 10.0.0.11, 10.0.0.13 }"
match in on $ext_if proto tcp to port 80 rdr-to $web_servers \
round-robin sticky-address
Successive connections will be redirected to the web servers in a round-robin manner with connections from the same source being sent to the same web server. This "sticky connection" will exist as long as there are states that refer to this connection. Once the states expire, so will the sticky connection. Further connections from that host will be redirected to the next web server in the round robin.
One additional piece of information that's needed to do this is the IP address of the adjacent router on each Internet connection. This is fed to the route-to option to control the destination of outgoing packets.
The following example balances outgoing traffic across two Internet connections:
lan_net = "192.168.0.0/24"
int_if = "dc0"
ext_if1 = "fxp0"
ext_if2 = "fxp1"
ext_gw1 = "198.51.100.100"
ext_gw2 = "203.0.113.200"
pass in on $int_if from $lan_net \
route-to { ($ext_if1 $ext_gw1), ($ext_if2 $ext_gw2) }\
The route-to option is used on traffic coming in on the internal interface to specify the outgoing network interfaces that traffic will be balanced across along with their respective gateways. Note that the route-to option must be present on each filter rule that traffic is to be balanced for (it cannot be used with match rules).
To ensure that packets with a source address belonging to $ext_if1 are always routed to $ext_gw1 (and similarly for $ext_if2 and $ext_gw2), the following two lines should be included in the ruleset:
pass out on $ext_if1 from $ext_if2 \
route-to ($ext_if2 $ext_gw2)
pass out on $ext_if2 from $ext_if1 \
route-to ($ext_if1 $ext_gw1)
Finally, NAT can also be used on each outgoing interface:
match out on $ext_if1 from $lan_net nat-to ($ext_if1)
match out on $ext_if2 from $lan_net nat-to ($ext_if2)
A complete example that load balances outgoing traffic might look something like this:
lan_net = "192.168.0.0/24" int_if = "dc0" ext_if1 = "fxp0" ext_if2 = "fxp1" ext_gw1 = "198.51.100.100" ext_gw2 = "203.0.113.200" # nat outgoing connections on each internet interface match out on $ext_if1 from $lan_net nat-to ($ext_if1) match out on $ext_if2 from $lan_net nat-to ($ext_if2) # default deny block in block out # pass all outgoing packets on internal interface pass out on $int_if to $lan_net # pass in quick any packets destined for the gateway itself pass in quick on $int_if from $lan_net to $int_if # load balance outgoing traffic from internal network. pass in on $int_if from $lan_net \ route-to { ($ext_if1 $ext_gw1), ($ext_if2 $ext_gw2) } \ round-robin # keep https traffic on a single connection; some web applications, # especially "secure" ones, don't allow it to change mid-session pass in on $int_if proto tcp from $lan_net to port https \ route-to ($ext_if1 $ext_gw1) # general "pass out" rules for external interfaces pass out on $ext_if1 pass out on $ext_if2 # route packets from any IPs on $ext_if1 to $ext_gw1 and the same for # $ext_if2 and $ext_gw2 pass out on $ext_if1 from $ext_if2 route-to ($ext_if2 $ext_gw2) pass out on $ext_if2 from $ext_if1 route-to ($ext_if1 $ext_gw1)

Nationwide arrest warrant issued for man believed to have powerful opioid
Search of Manchester, New Hampshire, apartment reveals trace amount of carfentanil, police say
Search of Manchester, New Hampshire, apartment reveals trace amount of carfentanil, police say
Police in Manchester are looking for a man who they believe is in possession of the powerful drug carfentanil, investigators said Tuesday.
Manchester police and federal agents searched the home of Preston Thorpe, 24, on Thursday, but they said they believe he fled the area before they arrived.
Police said they found a trace amount of carfentanil in the kitchen of the apartment at 50 Sentinel Court, along with a small amount of marijuana. Investigators said the apartment appeared to have been cleaned out before police arrived.
State officials warned last week that carfentanil was confirmed to be in New Hampshire, and it was linked to three overdose deaths. The drug was created to tranquilize large animals such as elephants, and officials said it's 100 times more potent than fentanyl and 5,000 times stronger than heroin.
A nationwide arrest warrant charging Thorpe with possession of carfentanil was issued. Police said he's originally from California, and they believe he might have returned there.
Thorpe is described as 6 feet, 3 inches tall and weighing 210 pounds. He has brown hair and brown eyes. He has a sleeve-style tattoo on his right arm and hand and a large tattoo on his left forearm.
Thorpe is believed to be driving a black Audi A4 with New Hampshire temporary dealer registration 2089050. The car has a "Team Nissan Manchester" decal placed over the A4 on the trunk.
Police said he could be traveling with Ashley Arbogast, 28, of Manchester. She is 5 feet, 1 inch tall and weighs 156 pounds. She has brown hair and brown eyes, and has tattoos on her left arm and hand.
Anyone with information on Thorpe's whereabouts is asked to call Manchester police at 603-792-5430 or leave an anonymous tip with Manchester Crimeline at 603-624-4040. A tip that leads to his arrest is eligible for a cash reward, police said.

I'm looking for any pointers/links/contacts to acquire some massive-sized (>100 million elements) models and datasets to feed my renderer I'm writing for my Ph.D. For my early test scenes I've either procedurally generated them ( city scene > 160 MegaPolys) or created through replication (1600 copies of the stanford bunny). To appease reviewers from an earlier submission, I need more variety to test against.
I currently have:
1. UNC Powerplant
2. San Miguel
3. Lucy (+ several others from the stanford model archive, but none from the Digital Michelangelo Project)
I'd like to get:
1. Boeing airplane model (contacts?)
2. Livermore Richtmyer-Meshkov instability Isosurface
3. ????
Any help is appreciated.
Massive Datasets/Models
Stuff to grind, massage & render.

From the birth of the industry, television providers have always combined technology, insight and opportunity to stay ahead. But the recent, rapid growth of platform players offering IP-based video consumption has created a new urgency for innovation. In this edition of Bringing TV to Life, we dig deeper into why innovation remains essential to your success and how you can embrace the latest ideas to keep it alive in your products, engineering, operating model, workforce, commercial models and ecosystems.
Digital Transformation Playbook for the Media Industry
Technology that Bolsters the Bottom Line
Digital Video & Advertising Re-Imagined
Revolutionizing advertising with artificial intelligence
Media companies are combining AI with next-level personalization to tailor almost everything.
Back to the future–a resurgence for traditional advertising?
Marketers are beginning to balance traditional and new channels to achieve an ideal mix.
Augmented and virtual reality move center stage
Broadcasters are moving beyond gaming to monetize the possibilities of augmented and virtual reality.
The establishment prioritizes data to attract and retain customers
Legacy broadcasters are leveraging mountains of data to build lower cost, personalized options.
Five emerging trends highlight the challenges of today's media & entertainment companies, felt across the whole value chain.
Technology that Bolsters the Bottom Line
Technology is fundamentally reshaping core elements of the media industry value chain. Accenture examines the new technology trends that every media executive needs to know to get ahead and stay competitive.
The benefits of blockchain could be transformational across a wide range of media and entertainment industry contexts. Greater transparency, more accurate payments, improved understanding of audiences for specific content and more effective targeting of advertising, are just a few. But, to take advantage of these opportunities, media businesses need to understand how the technology works—and the implications for each and every participant across the industry value chain.
AI is getting tremendous attention these days. But, how does it fit into the new world of tv? Accenture has identified key opportunities across the industry where AI will have the greatest impact. We will share our insights on this subject and talk with companies about successfully integrating AI into their organization to increase efficiencies, improve operations and grow revenue.
Are media companies behind the curve? Media companies are prime targets for attack, largely due to a lack of initiative and a misplaced level of confidence. Results from a recent Accenture survey showed 75% of media companies felt "confident" they were taking adequate measures, yet one in three breach attempts targeted at media companies were successful. "Security" needs to be redefined—especially with the rise of OTT, social media content and new advertising platforms. At NAB, we will be on hand to discuss how media companies can thwart threats and reduce exposure.
With consumer interest in new digital services for the home reaching the mainstream, now is the moment for content providers to evolve their business models and define their position in the home. At NAB, we will be discussing our insights on the digital home opportunity, showcasing Accenture Home Platform, and presenting a use case on seamless connectivity, one of the foundations for future success in the connected home.
Digital Video & Advertising Re-Imagined
Content creators and broadcasters are being forced to transform by a radical new market. To compete, they must reinvent fundamental capabilities and become "intelligent content providers." At NAB, we will highlight innovative opportunities for the media companies of today to become media-tech companies of the future.
It is fascinating think how far the tv experience has come in recent years. A continual, and accelerating, stream of innovation has brought us here—where will it take us next? Bringing TV to Life 8, the newest edition of Accenture's annual go-to guide for the Communications & Media industry, reveals the keys to successful innovation in the fast-paced digital world. Join our industry leadership to learn about strategies for identifying and prioritizing opportunities, essential tools and techniques to support transformation, and our innovation framework to help companies harness their talents, resources and capabilities for their own journey.
Through the analysis of the main market trends impacting the advertising industry—advanced TV advertising, multiplatform TV, artificial intelligence/machine learning, and programmatic sales—we will share our experience on how Communications & Media companies are seizing new opportunities through platform-based, data-driven, experience-led digital transformation.
Digital video disruptors are renowned for their ability to apply data to enable and drive their business. However, now that the barriers to entry to being data-driven are tumbling, this opportunity is open to every video business. Our video marketing and monetization experts will be at NAB to show how our end-to-end approach can help companies get more revenue from content and investments, and deliver new levels of engagement. The results: precise targeting, higher subscriptions, more satisfied viewers, and fewer service calls.
Digital Brands: The New Rules of Building Audiences
Accenture's Peri Shamsai moderated an NAB sponsored panel Tuesday afternoon on building brands in the digital world. Peri set the stage by sharing findings from Accenture's Digital Consumer Survey, and then led a lively discussion with panelists, including:
The Digital Video and the Connected Consumer Movement
Accenture's Mike Chapman presented the Digital Narrative for media as part of the SET breakfast series. Mike shared how new technologies are impacting consumer behaviors towards video and entertainment–and discussed the trends, challenges, and opportunities the industry faces in reaching a fragmented audience across multiple platforms.

Philip began painting 25 or so years ago in the days of Grenadier and Ral Partha miniatures with Testors Paints. After a few years of hideous results, he gave it up completely. In the fall of 2003, he started painting again, and still had hideous results, but with alot of practice, eventually got a little bit better. He has awards for painting from numerous painting contests, including ReaperCon 2005 and 2006 where he won a total of 7 Sophies. Philip has done some freelance work for Reaper Miniatures. When he's not painting, he commands an army of gnome chicks on World of Warcraft, plays some hockey (poorly), skis, and does occasional volunteer work building trails on the Continental Divide. read more
Bob has sculpted for Reaper since 1995, where he made a name for himself as the master of undead and beautiful female miniatures. Bob's sculptures are clean and crisp, featuring an unparalleled sense of proportion and attitude, and they just keep getting better and better. read more

Leslie Carter Overdosed On Drugs, Police Report Says
The 'House Of Carters' star had been battling mental health issues and was surrounded by drugs when her body was found — so sad.
Leslie Carter's death devastated her family, and now the just-released police report says the cause of her death was indeed a drug overdose.
Leslie, who was 25, was described in police reports as having a history of mental health issues and was on medication for depression, Us Weekly reports.
Her stepmother, Ginger Carter, called 911 on Jan. 31 from their New York home while her father Robert Carter gave Leslie CPR. Ginger reported that her stepdaughter was "asleep on her bed and not breathing."
Before her death, Leslie's family said she felt sick and appeared depressed. At the time of her passing, her body was surrounded by several prescription drugs which treat mental health issues ranging from schizophrenia to anxiety.
We wish the Carter family the best during this difficult time.
— William Earl

This article is from Eloqua and infograph from Eloqua and JESS3 marketing as we know it has changed quite a bit.
As technology has advanced, the industry has turned its eye towards more precise ways of measuring performance and engagement.
With the rise of the internet, mobile and social, you could see results as they came in. Science is the new buzzword.
You know the old lines and adages. "Marketing is a dark art." "I know half my marketing budget isn't wasted, I just don't know what half." These are common refrains of the marketing world.
Special announcement by Eloqua:
They're launching Eloqua Experience tomorrow, when modern marketers from around the globe will gather to show how they are using science and art.

Raja Chaudhary is a naked man now, he has lost everything. First his wife and daughter, than he has to give his flat to his wife Shweta Tiwari in alimony to finalise their divorce. Now his only hope to revive his image, his so called girlfriend Shraddha Sharma to whom he was supposed to get married has called off the relationship.
Watch Raja Chaudhary cheating video
Why? Shradha found Raja cheating on her with two other girls – Aasma and Debbie.
Actually Shraddha had her doubt on Raja so she approached Emotional Atyachar and requested the channel to conduct a loyalty test on her soon-to-be-husband. Her fears came true when Raja started flirting with two agents from EAT – Aasma and Debbie! In their very first meeting, Raja took agent Aasma to a house and got up, close and personal with her. Unable to control his desperateness, he started flirting with Debbie, the second Emotional Atyachar agent (EAT). His kartut was caught on camera by the team.
When contacted Shraddha Sharma said, This is shocking for me. It's all over between us. He is constantly calling me but I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore. Many of my friends warned me about getting into a relationship with him, but he always showed how caring and nice he was. He called me and told me that he was under the influence of alcohol but that's no explanation.
Speaking about dealing with the trauma Shraddha said, I guess everything happens at the right time. I am busy doing films down South. One of my films Jeeva has just released and I am shooting for one more film Jaye Ho. I am also doing a couple of reality shows, so life is busy – it will divert my attention from all this.

text: Chill Persists in Upper Midwest as South Warms October 31, 2012 10:00 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Nate Birt Top Producer Managing Editor Email In the Corn Belt, Sandy's remnant circulation continues to produce light precipitation (rain and snow showers) and gusty winds in the Great Lakes region and the Ohio Valley, according to USDA's Joint Ag Weather Facility. In contrast, warm, dry weather favors lateseason harvest efforts west and south of the Missouri River, where today's temperatures will approach 70°F. In the South, warm weather has returned to the western Gulf Coast region, but cool conditions persist across the remainder of the region. Dry weather throughout the South favors autumn fieldwork. On the Plains, mild, dry weather favors fieldwork, but many areas lack enough moisture to support proper winter wheat establishment. The area of greatest concern with respect to winter wheat remains the northwestern half of the Plains. Today's temperatures will again exceed 80°F across parts of the southern Plains. In the West, precipitation is confined to the Pacific Northwest. Elsewhere, mild, dry weather favors autumn fieldwork, including cotton harvesting in both California and Arizona. Looking Ahead Less-than-ideal (cool, cloudy, and showery) conditions persist in the Northeast with respect to Hurricane Sandy recovery efforts. Sandy's remnant circulation is currently centered near Lake Erie, drifting northward. For the remainder of the week, mild, tranquil conditions will cover much of the nation. Shower activity—including high-elevation snowfall—will gradually subside in the Northeast. Meanwhile, locally heavy precipitation will spread inland across the Northwest. During the weekend, a few rain showers will spread across the South. Abovenormal temperatures across most of the U.S. and a warming trend across the South will contrast with persistently cool conditions from the upper Midwest into the Northeast. The NWS 6- to 10-day outlook for November 5-9 calls for near- to above-normal temperatures nationwide, except for cooler-than-normal conditions in the Southeast. Meanwhile, below-normal precipitation from California into the Mid-South will contrast with wetter-than-normal weather along the Atlantic Seaboard and across the nation's northern tier from Montana into the Northeast.

2003 Lincoln Navigator ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Grand Touring, SUV-style.
Large SUVs are extremely popular for their ability to carry lots of people and a decent amount of cargo. However, because they are based on trucks, they have left a lot to be desired in the handling department. They have never delivered a rewarding driving experience due to a rough ride and/or sloppy steering and handling. If you're using a large SUV strictly for its utility this does not really matter, but more and more people are buying a luxury SUV as an alternative to a large luxury sedan.
No manufacturer has been able to produce a large luxury SUV with anywhere near decent handling. Cynics would say that's impossible as no large tank built on a truck chassis could even be made to handle like a nimble small sedan. The laws of physics work against it.
Until now that is.
Amazingly, Lincoln engineers have taken a truck chassis and totally reengineered it such that the new 2003 Lincoln Navigator does handle and ride much like a large luxury sedan.
Now if you need to carry up to eight passengers and/or cargo and enjoy the experience as a driver, you can. Even those who do not like large SUVs have to be impressed with what Lincoln has done. The fact that many of the engineers who worked on this vehicle came from Jaguar is no coincidence.
Navigator is available with two-wheel drive or all-wheel-drive. All models come with the same 300-horsepower 5.4-liter V8 engine and four-speed automatic transmission.
All Navigators have the same interior loaded with a host of standard features.
Three versions are available, Luxury, Premium and Ultimate. Features such as advanced traction control and power folding rear seats are standard on the Ultimate model but optional on others. The power running boards shown in the commercials are optional only on the Ultimate model. Prices begin from just under $49,000 and rise to over $60,000.
The first thing you'll notice about the new Navigator is that it does not look much different from the model that has been on sale since 1997. In fact the external differences are so subtle that you only see them when you compare the two vehicles side by side. The 2003 Navigator retains the same commanding appearance and a somewhat softer, more sophisticated look than many large SUVs, which is undoubtedly why Lincoln did not feel any need to change its external appearance.
An optional feature on the Navigator Ultimate is power running boards, an industry first. When a door is opened the running boards quietly extend out by four inches to allow easier access to the vehicle. When the doors are closed they automatically retract under the rocker panels.
The large door mirrors are slightly bigger for a better view rearward. They fold in to the body at the touch of a button for traversing narrow openings. As before, auxiliary turn signals are incorporated in the lower edge of the mirrors. An approach lamp housed in the mirrors also illuminates the ground alongside the vehicle when the key fob unlock button is activated, a nice feature on stormy nights or in dark public garages.
The interior of the new Navigator is totally different from last year's model, or any other SUV for that matter. For 2003, Lincoln started from scratch and designed an interior with a host of luxury touches more akin to a car. Yet it does not look like a car's interior. Instead it has a modern, elegant feel.
Lincoln says the symmetrical instrument panel was inspired by the 1961 Lincoln Continental. It certainly works well in the Navigator as it enhances the spaciousness of the interior as it curves up from the wide center console across the top of the instrument pod on one side and across the glove box on the passenger side.
The surface is grained with a pebble texture and is available in two-tone light parchment and espresso finish or monochromatic black. Subtle bands of American walnut burl are used to divide sections of the dashboard and door trim. Other interior surfaces are finished in a pleasant low-lustre satin nickel color that matches the other trim nicely.
LEDs (120 of them) are used throughout the cabin to illuminate buttons and controls. The legend for each control is laser etched into the satin nickel surface so that it appears black in daylight yet illuminates at night with a nice white glow.
Front passengers have a dual-zone climate control system. Passengers in both the second and third row of seats get their own panels with auxiliary controls.
All seats are finished in a deep leather surface with a milled pebble finish. Front seats are power operated with a two-position memory for the driver, which includes mirror and the adjustable brake and gas pedals settings.
The second row can be ordered as a pair of captain's chairs or as a bench seat. The bench seat is split 40/20/40, featuring a narrow center piece that can be slid forward 11 inches for holding a child seat conveniently close to the driver.
The third row is actually comfortable for adults. The new independent rear suspension allowed engineers to design a much lower floor in the back, which makes for a more comfortable seating position. The third-row bench seat is split 60/40 and can hold three people, and provides slightly more legroom than a Chevy Suburban or Cadillac Escalade.
One of the neatest optional features available on the Navigator is a power folding mechanism for the third row of seats. At the press of a button the rear seat folds down to provide a flush floor space for increased cargo carrying capacity. The second row of seats can also be folded down to provide a large cargo area. A power rear tailgate is available as an option, handy when approaching the Navigator with an armload of groceries.
Driving Impression
Toward the end of a long day, traversing a variety of roads, we were driving along a winding twisty highway that would have been delightful in a sports car. We caught up to a guy in a Honda Civic and followed him for about ten miles. It was only then that we realized we were driving in a spirited manner. We weren't on the limit, the tries were not squealing, the body was not rolling, the two passengers were not complaining Those of us who had been taking turns behind the wheel were actually heard to say 'this is fun.' Who would ever have dreamt that the day would come when those who enjoy driving in a spirited fashion would say such a thing of a SUV.
More than anything it's the steering that transforms the Navigator's handling dynamics. It is so precise it reminded us more of the new Mini. The vehicle moves almost instantly once the steering wheel starts to turn. The independent rear suspension keeps the wheels firmly on the ground with no axle tramping over bumps or undulations. Anybody who enjoys driving a European car would be happy with the steering on the Navigator. But, dare we say it, we can imagine there might be some drivers more accustomed to the sloppy steering of an older Lincoln having trouble adapting to a steering wheel that reacts to a driver's input with precision.
With such great handling the Navigator's acceleration performance is perhaps a little lacking. The engine sounds nice with a throaty roar under acceleration but it does not accelerate as fast as one might expect. The engine produces 300 horsepower, which is the same as in the old model but some 45 hp less than in the Cadillac Escalade. Most owners will be happy with the Navigator's performance, even when loaded. It has excellent torque, which is really more important for an overall driving experience. It also makes it ideal for towing.
Many many years ago a large luxurious sporty car was called a 'Grand Touring' car because it was capable of carrying passengers long distances in a more sporty fashion than a regular sedan but in a more luxurious fashion than a sports car. The term GT has changed its meaning over the years but perhaps it's fair to call the 2003 Navigator a modern 'Grand Touring' car. After all, it can transport up to eight passengers in comfort while delivering a decent driving experience at the same time.

^ There's also a Red Robin near downtown at 104 Ave & 112 St if that's not too far for you.
I tried Fatburger at City Centre Mall a few years ago. It was OK, and I've meant to give it another try. However, if I'm going to have a burger at that particular location then I'd sooner head across to A&W.
