Hey Mac crunchers, In addition to the Milkyway@Home team started by Angelo95210, there are a bunch of other projects on which I or others have founded MacRumors teams. If you participate in any of these projects using BOINC, consider joining up (unless you're on another team and don't wish to switch) PrimeGrid - search for really big prime numbers, important to encryption algorithms and other applications in computing. eOn - calculate the dynamics of long-term changes that occur in atomic systems Collatz Conjecture - test the 3x+1 conjecture ad infinitum. Einstein@Home - search for pulsars (neutron stars) in deep space... Pirates@Home - Einstein@Home test project, almost no work, but funny. World Community Grid - lots of health-related projects, researching global issues, etc. Many projects to contribute to. Uses BOINC but has its own client as well. I'm known as "NullCoding" in the BOINC world. If you're a BOINC user or distributed computing enthusiast, consider joining one or several MacRumors teams! With the exception of Einstein@Home and MW@H, I am the sole member of these teams at the moment...I crunch a lot but if you want to help out, please do! It's not a contest (but you knew that already), however, teams are ranked and it's cool to see who can contribute the most to the respectable field of science. Fun facts: eOn has small WUs that often complete in under 10 minutes. As of now, our team (which is just me) is ranked fairly high... PrimeGrid, Collatz, and Einstein all have nVidia CUDA apps, so if you have a CUDA-ready GPU, you can amass massive credit quickly and help the team a lot! (Einstein needs a GPU with 450MB+ of memory) If you have a newer MacBook Pro, you can crunch PrimeGrid CUDA WUs. If you need help setting that up, just ask and I'll walk you through it. MW@H has multi-processor support for some apps as of yesterday. The more cores you have, the more you can contribute! See this thread for more on our MW@H team. MW@H needs a GPU (ATi or nVidia) supporting double-precision floating point, meaning compute 1.3+. We currently have one member taking huge advantage of this...follow the white rabbit... Pirates@Home rarely has work available, and its WUs take under 10 seconds most of the time. If you're really bored, you can fill out captchas for "pieces of eight" that have no significance but will rank you on the leaderboard for...captcha-filling-out. -- If you participate in another BOINC project not listed here, and there is a MacRumors team, please post the info here! And if there isn't a MacRumors team, consider starting one. I think there are many more crunchers around here than it appears. Thanks for your interest! keep on crunching...
MacRumors eOn team is now ranked 36th overall...and it's just me. Anyone else here do BOINC? There's gotta be some...
Hey thanks...so you're pretty close to being directly involved in eOn yourself! Not quite an "advanced relational database" but close. Ranked like ~35th now...eOn's all I crunch now besides MilkyWay...holding off on other projects until I've finished my custom machine (give it a few months).
Ranked #26 now on eon EDIT: Now #24th. Unfortunately I'm going to have to cut down on my folding as I am experiencing lots of tasks failing due to computation errors. It appears there is an issue with the OS X client and tasks beginning with a certain prefix.
I joined the team for World Community Grid and eOn. My nick is EnderKills. Looking forward to some data crunching!
Hi all, I have previously been folding quite a bit, but have just subscribed a Mac mini to eOn. Now I just need to decide what the iMac should be crunching... Rob
Cool guys, thanks for joining! Hmm, depending on what kind of iMac you have, it could be well suited to something like MilkyWay@Home or PrimeGrid (for which anything Core 2 Duo and better is just fine, depending which application(s) you run). Depending on which GPU it has, you might also be able to do some GPU tasks for PrimeGrid or Collatz, but that sort of thing you can't really do whilst using the computer. I left my MBP on all night when I did CUDA tasks for PrimeGrid, but it wasn't very efficient or practical. eOn is always a sure bet...small WUs, short CPU time, easy to move up the ranks...like we're doing now.
Well, the iMac is a few years old with only an ATI HD2600 - I don't think that will do any GPU jobs in OSX. However, I've now got the CPU helping on eOn for the 18 hours a day that it is running. Rob
I think that is what I run haha. I'm not too familiar with the distributed computing world but I have this as an icon and keep it on unless I do really CPU intensive stuff. I can join you if you would like me to. Oh and its world community grid is the projects it runs (I think!) Its a bunch of health things like cure cancer, fight aids, etc. I had to stop it for like 3 weeks since I had no internet in my apartment Now its back up and running and stays on unless I am doing Maya renders or something thats pretty intensive. The mac pro in my sig is what it is running on.
We are moving up the eOn team standings pretty quickly. We broke into the top 20 and I'm pushing WUs to try to get us higher up the chart. We should pick a day and focus on climbing the ladder.
yep, noticed we cracked the top 20 last night. they finally fixed the problem with the workunits that were failing in OS X (began with #139 I think). But the # available work-units has been very very flaky over the past few days. There's currently nothing available for me to crunch.
There ought to be - right now, I'm getting 197#####s which take ~6 minutes and 190#####s that take a little under a minute on my i5; the other computer I've got is crunching as well, but it's at my house, so I can't monitor it...just kinda crunches away whenever it's on, meaning whenever my brother's not using it for whatever games it is still capable of running. Under my account, it's listed as the 3.0GHz Pentium 4 machine. For some reason the other MacBook I've got on eOn is not crunching...I don't think BOINC starts by default, or else it would be well over the current credit it shows. Ignore the Windows 2000 machine that shows up on my account. But yes, there is work for eOn right now. You may need to update the project manually if you have issues getting new WUs. But yeah, no more computation errors. And no matter if you're running 32- or 64-bit OSX, the new 1.10 client is great. Sure it's a couple of students in charge of the project, but they do a really really good job managing and supporting it. As for our rank - yes we're on the first page thanks everyone for participating; glad I've gotten others into the grid world. I take it a bit seriously, even though I've only been involved since late September or something like that. There are also teams for AQUA@Home and RCN, but I barely crunch those...the former has only multi-threaded WUs that take upwards of 12 to 14 hours each, and the latter has some server problems...and WUs that take over 30 hours each and don't report properly. As for WCG, which someone mentioned - yep I do that too, but my credit has slipped lately, mainly because the tasks take a bit too long for my liking and I like contributing to MilkyWay and eOn with a bit of Collatz and PrimeGrid thrown in. Still no GPU here. The PrimeGrid tasks I do take 15 to 30 minutes (PPS LLR and SGS LLR). Keep it up all!
Yes, there's WU's today. Yesterday there was hardly anything available and a the day before that wasn't so great either. 16th!
Doing great on eOn! Thanks for participating all. I'm mainly on PrimeGrid nowadays, doing CUDA apps while all 4 CPUs are crunching AQUA. Join me if you'd like, but BOINC is BOINC. Participate in whatever you'd like.
oopsies - accidentally left the eOn team for a few days! I created another team, NullGrid, which is BOINC-wide and exists on all projects, as I'm currently trying to get people I know into BOINC. Let's just say a lot of my friends are serious computer people... That said, I'm only on NullGrid where MacRumors has no members besides me (so Collatz, AQUA, Pirates, etc). I only have 3 Macs on my account anyway, and plus, the highest-credit cruncher I have is actually an old Dell running XP... Keep it up all, eOn is always a sure bet with this team.
I've been messing around trying to figure out what I'd like to join. And I decided to join Einstein. It seems the most interesting, and the most relevant to my eventual career choice. So yeah let's get crackin!
Well neat! I've not been doing too much on Einstein lately, unfortunately. The tasks take upwards of two hours in the GPU, which is time better relegated to twelve PrimeGrid tasks, or eight on MilkyWay. Update: I'm now ranked 1st (for average credit, 3rd or so for total) on the MilkyWay team, still in first on eOn (although my output has dropped a lot lately). This is only because I'm at home with my full (6 computer) grid running with mostly 100% uptime. Been helping out MilkyWay, Collatz, PrimeGrid, and DNETC with my GTX 460. It's running on my old Windows machine, though. The MBP is on a bunch of projects. I switch off at random. Thanks for joining! The Einstein team has actually been around for awhile. I don't know how long, but I didn't start it.
Be careful for users running on 32-bit only systems. eOn requires a 64-bit processor (on the OS X platform) with Leopard 10.5 or above. Refer to this page for more details http://eon.ices.utexas.edu/eon2/apps.php Too bad this doesn't work on my MBP... but it is crunching on my netbook at night lol
Ha. eOn's about the only thing you can crunch on a netbook. I mean, you could do small PrimeGrid WUs but they might take upwards of an hour. The netbook my brother wanted, for instance, couldn't even run PowerPoint, so I imagine they aren't well suited to BOINC crunching. Well cool - keep it up
Damn, that netbook is horrible. My netbook boots 1/2 the time as my MBP and plays 720p video very well, even connected to a 42" HDTV. Can't run 1080 though.
Ok so they've gotten better. We had someone over at PrimeGrid trying to do a huge WU on an Atom N270, which would take two to four months if on 24/7. That's my new netbook benchmark, lol. I don't count the MBA as a "netbook" in this situation btw. eOn is having some serious problems now, I notice. Only really works on 64-bit OSs. About 7 minutes on my i5 MBP opposed to 2h+ on a modded P4 machine (stock CPU clocks). One of my OS X machines (MacBook 1,2) runs 10.6.5 but I don't think I have 64-bit extensions fully enabled (I don't think I can do that with the old EFI...) but we'll see if this project gets fixed. The developers are a bit...disengaged. Then again, they are college kids. I don't have time to run a BOINC project. I barely have time to maintain my computer farm!
Not much lol. I'm still only running a single core, dual thread N450 processor. I did beef up the netbook to 2GB ram (left over stick) and a 7200RPM hard drive with a 4GB C10 SD Card for readyboost. But in reality, the best performance boost was to delete HP's install of Windows 7 and do a clean install. That's like 10x faster on everyday tasks right there. The MacBook 1,2, basically the black core duo macbook only have a 32-bit processor.
No, I think the C2D T7200 (I think that's what it's called) is 64-bit capable, since the machine is running Snow Leopard. It only recognizes 2GB of RAM but it's running, and fast too. Nothing will kill that thing. Could be, though, that it's running through emulation. I haven't actually looked at Activity Monitor to see what instructions certain threads are (Intel64 or Intel32?) but I just boot normally, not holding 6 and 4 like I understand is the way some newer Macs boot full 64-bit kernel. eh. BOINC runs fine either way, since it is a universal Mac binary, and there is no differentiation between 32- and 64-bit like there is for Windows builds.

I don't usually go on tours, but found myself in one on my first trip to Hokkaido. Hokkaido's a big island. Maybe going on tour first gives one an idea of where to go spend time on the next trip. ^^. At least now I know if I'm not planning to spend time in Sapporo alone, I'll need a car to get around. I think I'll try Hakodate on my own next time around. But for now, enjoy these pics that you can only see from a bus window.
Pictures taken behind glass on a moving object (bus). What's the charm in this genre?
Is it the glare and reflection in the glass that was captured in the shot? Or is it the blurriness that shows motion?
At least in these pics, it must have been the height of the bus. ^^.
Going on tour is quite tiring, given the hours spent traveling on the bus. Luckily for me (and us), Japanese coaches are quite comfy. Besides, Hokkaido is a tourism spot. Lots of comfy buses around.
Still… next time I'm there, I'll hope to be in the driver's seat. Will miss the height and snapping drive-by photos though…

The More Things Change...
If slow change favors Darwinian selection, a rapidly fluctuating environment is where learning proves its worth. What is a little less obvious is that evolution becomes irrelevant here.
Even in the absence of learning, natural selection is helpless when change is faster than a generation time. If bark color can go from black to white in a week, and moths live several months, then the genotype can't keep up. Light-colored specimens might be favored one week, and produce more offspring than dark-colored moths, but the genes for paleness would be maladaptive by the time these descendants reproduced.
Turning on the harvard gene does nothing to restore the efficacy of natural selection; on the contrary, learning further decouples the genotype from the phenotype. When learning is rewarded, it becomes so efficient that there is little selection pressure on the genotype. Learning provides any newborn moth with excellent camouflage in a day or two, and so survival is essentially independent of the color gene.
What happens if Lamarckian inheritance is turned on in this rapid-change regime? Not much. If Lamarckism is assessed the same penalty as learning, the vanderbilt gene is disadvantageous, and the distribution of values slides toward the low end of the scale. This result is not hard to fathom. In the model the sole benefit of Lamarckian inheritance is being born pre-adapted to the color of the environment. But if that environment is changing rapidly, the benefit won't last long. Furthermore, in a population dominated by fast learners, most of the newborn moths would come to match their background in a few days anyway, even without the Lamarckian head start.
To put it another way: Learning is a valuable survival skill every day of your life, whereas Lamarckism helps only on the first day. This formulation suggests a way to quantify the worth of the vanderbilt gene. If your expected lifespan is L, then you should be willing to pay about 1/L as much for a Lamarckian legacy as you would pay for learning. In the model, learners live more than 100 days, so Lamarckism should be worth less than 1 percent of the price of learning. If the penalties are adjusted accordingly—making the vanderbilt inheritance tax less than 1 percent of the harvard tuition—Lamarckism ought to spread through the population. In my experiments I could not see this effect clearly. Even at a cost of zero I couldn't be sure whether the vanderbilt gene was growing in frequency or merely drifting neutrally, but it may be that I wasn't patient enough to wait for the trend to become apparent.

Michelle Obama's Stump Speech vs. Tea Party Influence [1]
Michelle Obama is a speedy traveler. After casting an early vote in her hometown of Chicago yesterday, she flew to Denver to show her support for U.S. Senator Michael Bennet, one of many Democrats across the nation facing a fierce Republican challenge in the midterm elections (via the Chicago Sun-Times [5]). Her job, as The Associated Press [6] puts it, is to "fire up downtrodden Democrats" by attempting to "recapture their excitement from two years ago," when voters put President Barack Obama and the Democrats in control of the White House and Congress.
At a private luncheon for donors in Cherry Hills Village, the first lady helped place $270,000 into Bennet's campaign coffers. "Being in this wonderful state brings back some wonderful memories," she said. "I don't know if anybody remembers that little gathering at Invesco Field," she added, referring to her husband's nomination speech during the Democratic National Convention in 2008 (via The Denver Post [7]). Democrats need to get "fired up, ready to go," she continued, urging each member of the crowd to go out and convince people who "plan on sitting this one out" to get involved. [8]
The Washington Post [8] points out that much of Michelle Obama's election sweep is scripted, and for the next two weeks, she's scheduled to deliver the same, 2,700-word stump speech (ad libs notwithstanding). Nonetheless, what remains to be seen is the popular first lady's ability to empower the Democratic base.
Meanwhile, The New York Times [9] takes a serious look at the "wide influence" the tea party is set to gain in Congress, even as Bloomberg Businessweek [10] explains at-length how those tea partiers "could throw the U.S. economy into chaos."

DETROIT -- U.S. new-car sales could hit 14.5 million this year, a hike of 13 percent from 2011, as an improving economy makes consumers more confident about buying cars, industry consultants J.D. Power and LMC Automotive said Thursday.
Previously, the consultants forecast annual sales of 14.3 million. In 2011, Americans bought 12.8 million cars and trucks.
J.D. Power and LMC also predicted light-vehicle sales in May would rise 21 percent to 1.38 million, when adjusted for more selling days this month than in May, 2011.
May, 2011, sales suffered because of the earthquake in Japan.

Only Da'notni could cool Walker down. 11 minutes, 15 points.
24 second shot clock violation is a PG's turnover nightmare. oh yeah, we have no PG. Toney D is not that smart.

how is it K*****ts are in the paint almost every play, and Knicks can barely get the ball off?
you're kidding me, an update on the cameraman! Tina Cervixio!
There goes our lead with our 10th turnover in the second half.
Melo with the D

Olympian Charlesworth finishes eighth in British Gas Swimming Championships 400m final
PUBLISHED: 17:02 07 March 2012
RICHARD Charlesworth was the first Hatfield Swimming Club member to reach a final at the ongoing British Gas Swimming Championships and Olympic trials at the London Aquatics Centre.
The 2008 Beijing Olympian was eighth in the men's 400m freestyle final in a time of 3mins 56.85secs on Saturday.
Final winner Robert Renwick and silver medallist David Carry booked their Olympic Games places in Team GB.
To secure a spot at London 2012 swimmers have to finish in the top two places in their event and meet a qualifying time.
Charlesworth's main event is the 1,500m, the heats of which are on Friday with the final the following day.
Of his 400m display, the Hertfordshire swimmer told the Welwyn Hatfield Times: "I have been working a lot more towards the 1,500m as opposed to the 400m.
"I haven't really been training for this event [400m], so I'm happy to have made the final, it's nice to be in this pool [which will be used during the Games].
"It's nice to have all the officials here for the test event, everything seems to be running smoothly.
"I'm just looking forward to later on this week now.
"I'm going to go home, rest, relax have some of mum's cooking.
"I have the 1,500m heats on Friday, with the final on Saturday.
"I like to keep targets to myself, but I'm looking for best times basically, as long as I keep improving I'm happy."
Since the Beijing Olympic Games Charlesworth has had to deal with the banning of performance enhancing streamline swimming suits.
Competitors have been striving to match their previous best times set when wearing the suits.
He added: "Because of the suits, I'm a big guy, there's been more of an adaption for the bigger guys than the smaller guys.
"I'm happy with how I did today [Saturday], last time round in the 2008 trials I was 3.55secs in this race and in this morning's heat I swam 3.54secs so I feel as though I'm in good shape for Friday and Saturday."

Concrete Cakes comes from the saying, "You can't have your cake and eat it too."
Our response to that is, "why not?"
So "Cakes" represents the reward…a reward that we should be able to fully consume and not just look at.
And "Concrete" means real or tangible.
When you put them together you get the literal meaning of "real rewards." This could mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people but it all boils down to the same concept…
We want to live a lifestyle where we don't have to choose between doing what we love and making money. We want to have our cake and eat every crumb.
Concrete Cakes serves as a platform and resource for aspiring artists and entrepreneurs. For established artists and entrepreneurs, Concrete Cakes is another outlet to show off your talents and/or promote your business. For aspiring artists and entrepreneurs, Concrete Cakes will show how to start and where to go from there.
This is a work in progress so we welcome constructive criticism.

Funny thing that came into my mind:
The Senonami was supposed to have an experimental PIC system integrated into it to reduce its weight to nothingness but Tsurugi refuses have it as such, saying that the weight is one of the core aspects of the weapon and it will allow her to utilize the Senonami better than it would without weight. With that said, she is capable of swinging that sword around like she would with a katana. There's a reason to that and it ties up with the Memento Sword, a customised, ancient training sword that is passed down through generations of the Katami family. Sword stuffs aside, how does the revised Minerva Kai look? Any comments on the unit? I figured the changes would be somewhat major seeing as it no longer has ranged weaponry and relies solely on the twin beam sabers.

@ Eras
So far, if not personal moral of the people involved (Such as hero's unwillingness or love interest justifiable selfishness), then it's the law. Many harem didn't end with harem because of law problem, in Japan, Polygamy is illegal. Some that did end with multipair usually justified with the lack of said law, To-Love-Ru for example, or Tenchi series. Hentai tend to skip marriage altogether, but there will be a problem... @ Stratos Design wise, it's fine. You just need to put it to the story and see what changed, especially fight scenes.

Also, shouldn't it be Chinami? If I'm not mistaken Sen no Nami is 'Wave of the Thousands' or something.

Kinda split for that part... But since its a single sword but the user(in this case, Tsurugi), could use it just as easily and deadly as she would with a katana, "Wave of the Thousands" sounds more apt for her case. @Jak Timezones.

Of course! Were they like teleported to Venus Fort? If it caused that much of a noise, it would have at least caught the attention of like 4-5 people despite the place being quiet... It is a parking lot after all.

Oh yeah, remember that you asked me about how the weapons are stored on the Silverbacks, that'll be answered in Chapter 7.
And you remember the Flashback Eric's been having virtually throughout the whole thing? You'll see what happened to his Big Brother figure. Just read it and you'll find out. |

Clear Bra info
Hey all,
I'm on the fence as to whether or not to add a clear bra to my truck. I'm primarilly a city dweller, but do get out to the desert fairly often where wind gusts can come out of nowhere and really sandblast the car.:eek: Please share your wisdom. Which brand of film did you use (or are you considering) ? Was it professionally installed or a DIY job ? Did you purchase a pre-cut kit ? How extensive is the coverage on your truck, how does it look, and most importantly does it do the job ?? What do these films look like in 5 yrs ?? I have this image I can't shake of the clear bra looking like failed window tint and wrecking the look of the truck...... Thanks for your input and recommendations !! Steve |
Re: Clear Bra info
i can snap a picture of my other car that has 3M film for last 5 years, which guaranteed not to turn yellow and if you decide to remove it, no glue resedue.
in my opinion it more of the impact area from chipping/bugs/etc. not really sure how beneficial it would be against winds, say blowing from the side... my jeep got 3Mc lear bra |
Re: Clear Bra info
Who sells this?
Re: Clear Bra info
A good, local tint dealership should carry 3M film. And if they do, they should be able to install the clear paint protection on the bumper or anywhere.
I had it done on my Range Rover and G35 previously and niether peeled or turned yellow. When we bought my wife's R350 last June we had the wndows tinted and the bra installed immediately. Her commute is 45-miles on I-95 so a lot of potential for stones. It cost $695 for the full, 2-ft kit (the bra extends 2-ft up the hood). The "half" kit is like 8-10" up the hood and was like $495. It will get done on my Jeep soon, just wasn't a necessity as I drive much less distance, in lower traffic and at much lower speeds. I also had the door handle inserts paint protected on my wifes R350 and my Jeep. That area always ends up scratched from finger nails or rings, cost like $20 when they were doing the rest of the work. I wouldn't recommend doing it yourself, unless you are highly skilled. Applying tint to windows is one thing because they are more or less flat. Anything with a curve proves to be difficult as I found out when tinting my tail-lights - and the front of the Wk2 is not flat. Regarding my tails lights, personally, I think I did a decent job for a first time try but am not happy. I figured for $40 it was worth a shot. And, the company is refunding my purchase less the $5 S&H because I wasn't happy so it really cost me $5 to try it. As a result in a few weeks I will be sending them out to Jon's Tinted Tails for a professional spray tint. My local tint place wanted $135 to tint the tails with film. Jon wasn't much more and will tint the 3rd brakelight and bumper reflectors - I just have to go without my tailights for a few days :( but it will be worth it :) Again, if you are highly skilled give it a shot, just make sure you get the application kit and do it in warm weather (75-deg or higher) with low humidty. |
Re: Clear Bra info
I had a 12" 3M bra and the two front windows tinted for $225 here in Denver at a place called Dent Works. I believe they have other locations throughout the US.
I took my Range Rover Sport in there as well to get dings removed at $25 per ding. They do amazing work, and you can't beat the price. |
Re: Clear Bra info
My suggestion is to look for a car that has a color similar to yours with the clear film on it, and decide if you like it or not. It's almost invisible (when installed properly) on some colors, but quite noticeable on other colors. Most will also yellow after a time due to uv. If you do decide to go for it, get it installed by a pro and find out how many pieces the kit will have; the fewer pieces the better as there are less seams to see.
I'm not berating it at all, as I have had it on several of my cars but find that it really is personal choice. |
Re: Clear Bra info
This is THE stuff to get.....
http://www.nanofusionfilm.com/ Designed for auto applications and a lifetime warranty. Looks great. Put it on my JGC. Bruce |
Re: Clear Bra info
Steve, I know its matter of prefrence but I have a friend who installs it and is advising me not to do it. I called a guy in Nassau and wanted over a thousand to do it. My friend said even the best you will see slight cut lines if you ever peel it off and depending on color it may not come out that great. Like I said not bashing anyone all a matter of preference. For the cost of what it is I can repaint the front end twice over 10 years so Im going Braless....lol
Re: Clear Bra info
cmmurry77... wow, what a deal!
BimmerAgent... did you do it yourself? If so, how easy was it? scittb... never thought of it like that. slampert, wjs81866, anyone else... if you want I will take some pics of the clear bra on the R350. You can see some of the mate/cut lines but only if you look very closely. Most people are amazed that anything is there. The tint shop indicated the R350 as a '4' on the 1-5 difficulty scale (5 being highest). This was the number the 3M paint protection/clear bra software generated for them (that is how they determine the price... amount of material and the difficulty level). I asked to see the software to verify, they allowed me. I checked it out again when I got my Wk2's windows done and the software said the Wk2 would be a '3' on the scale so it would be a bit cheaper. Again, all a preference. In my experience, such as when I had my G35-coupe and lived in downtown Baltimore City where I my only parking option was on-street, parrallel parking, the added protection on my front & rear bumpers from the other dummies parallel parking was definitely worth it. |
Re: Clear Bra info
I will not go without the 3m clear bra on any vehicle. It really is not an option in the mountain west, otherwise the front end gets pitted from sand and gravel. We replace windshields every 3-5 years from pitting.
IMO, this is one where you should pay the man to do it correctly to get a clean install. It's barely noticeable, and will likely only be to you up close. |
Re: Clear Bra info
What Moose said above^. On brilliant black the line is nearly invisible from as close as 3 feet away. As always, a matter of personal preference but if you weigh the chips against the very slight line, I'll take the line any day. I hate seeing the paint chips and if nothing else it helps with resale to some buyers.
Re: Clear Bra info
Getting mine put on tomorrow.
Follow this link; http://www.xpel.com/products/paint_p...8&submodel=884 It is Xpel's self install pre-cut kits to give you an idea of price and design. Most shops use XPel or some other type of software which laser cuts the material and they install. My install is the price of the self install kit for the bumper, hood (bikini cut) fenders and mirrors plus in addition Im getting my 2 front windows tinted and headlights protected. Nanofusion paint protection film, nearly invisible on black. To get an idea; Full coverage- http://yfrog.com/h2gb4ffj Heres a video to a paint protection install on an M6; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5uvu...ure=youtu.be&a |

Blog: Battlefield Tours
The Old City
Saturday 19 April 2008 by . 1 comments
The tour has been visiting some of the famous sites of the old city including the Hippodrome, Haghia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. These grand and glorious monuments tell us much of Istanbul's long history. This city is the former capital of three successive empires Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman. Egyptian obelisk at the Hippodrome(photograph by Rob Hegarty); Museum of Haghia Sophia (photograph by Rod Stewart) The Blue …
Simpson Prize has arrived
Saturday 19 April 2008 by Andrew Gray.
Merhaba - after a marathon plane flight we made it. Istanbul is awesome – huge, fast- paced, chaotic and full of people. A cruise on the Bosphorus was a great way to experience the city from the relative calm of our boat. We saw many palaces and mosques, and noted that nearly everything has a Turkish flag. Amazing houses right on the water, just like the OC but older and more expensive. We also cruised Istiklal St, just down from …
Dispatch from a Grandson
Thursday 17 April 2008 by .
It turns out that Rod Stewart, one of our fellow travellers on the tour, is also a fellow blogger. Rod's grandfather Edward John Howells served at Gallipoli where he was evacuated injured. He later re-entered the war and served in the Palestine Campaign where he was awarded the Military Cross for "great determination, skill and coolness under fire." Rod will be blogging about his experiences on the tour. A view of the …
Istanbul was Constantinople
Wednesday 16 April 2008 by .
Reaching Constantinople (present day Istanbul) was the objective of the Dardanelles campaign in 1915. An objective that failed. The battlefield tour, however, managed to arrive safely at Istanbul airport in high spirits and only slightly crumpled from the long flight. We checked into the Marmara hotel to 'freshen up' and in the afternoon we set off to cruise on the Bosphorus followed by a visit to the Egyptian Spice Market.…
The journey
Tuesday 15 April 2008 by .
Those of us travelling with the Memorial on the Gallipoli battlefield tour arrived in Istanbul today following a long journey from our various home ports. On a flight of over 22 hours it is inevitable that conversations would be struck and I met several Australians also travelling to Gallipoli. For the first leg of the trip I sat next to an Australian Vietnam war veteran. He was planning on touring the battlefields and to attend the Dawn…
Battlefield Tour 2008: The First Post
Friday 11 April 2008 by . 1 comments

Ashley Ekins, Head of the Military History Section will lead our Gallipoli tour and Nick Fletcher, Senior Curator in Heraldry and Technology will lead the Western Front tour. We will be walking many of the historic battle sites and commemorating Anzac Day with the Dawn Service at Gallipoli and the …
Simpson Prize 2008
Monday 31 March 2008 by Andrew Gray.
On Tuesday 18 March, the Minister for Veterans' Affairs announced the winners of the Simpson Prize for 2008. The Simpson Prize is a national competition for year 9 and 10 students which sees eight students, one from each State and Territory, accompanied by two teachers, flown to Gallipoli to attend the Dawn Service and other ANZAC Day ceremonies. The students travelling to Turkey will be contributing to the Memorial blog to share the …
Then and Now
Monday 21 May 2007 by John Lafferty. 1 comments
I'm now back at work and catching up on the email and tasks. I am also still processing the photos taken on the trip. As I go through the images I am adding notes but also looking for those images that where taken to match those in the collection. Here is the first one. It is a panoramic photo of North Beach. Although these images have been taken at a slightly different angle the details are still clear and the changes to the landscape …
Simpson Prize 30 April
Monday 30 April 2007 by Simpson Prize. 2 comments
The intrepid Simpson Prize group have now returned to Australia after a very successful tour to Turkey. The final days of the trip were spent in Istanbul visiting the Dolmabache Palace, followed by a shopping frenzy in the Spice Market and the Grand Bazaar. Purchases varied from the predictable (Turkish Delight) to the exotic (belly dancing outfit) and many in the group launched into the spirit of haggling with great enthusiasm. On …
Day 12 - ANZAC Day
Sunday 29 April 2007 by John Lafferty. 2 comments
View larger image The big day. We start at 1:30am from the Kum Hotel by bus and drive to ANZAC Cove. From there we have the short walk to the dawn service area. This is done early so that we miss the crowds and get some seating. While waiting for the service to begin we see some documentaries and information about some of the ANZACs that died in the campaign. View larger image View larger …

I'm not totally done with work for the summer yet because I'm teaching summer school and doing some summer projects, but the students are done! Grades are in! Books are counted! Classrooms are being cleaned! And Skyler is DONE with 1st grade. Oh my goodness.
She has met her 2nd grade teacher and is very excited because in 2nd grade you get TO SIT IN A DESK. This is big stuff, people.
Skyler started a journal called "What I Did On My Summer Vacation" and by dinner time (5 hours after summer began) she had written 3 pages.
I got out of a long and busy and stressful day of work at 3 and hopped on my bike for a ride through the most sunshiney, green, breezy day. Meanwhile, I got a last minute text from Lindsay to join her and my friend Casey at an outdoor kids' concert in Orono at 6. It would be tight, but I really thought this was the right way to start my kids' summer.
I got home at 5:15, packed some picnic stuff, ordered a pizza to take with us for dinner, hopped in the shower, snatched up the kids, picked up the pizza, and we made it to the concert picnic just in time. It was a lovely and sun-bathed scene of happy kids and folk music. I mean, please.
with Lindsay. |

kids dancing to Miss Julie and her band. |
my new friend Suz with her daughter Georgianna. |
Casey with her blondies Jake and Reese. |
I'd say this set the tone for an awesome summer.

I have to start by saying, I love Toronto. Such a great city. I was out there with the boys of Evoke (my husband and brother) for business. We checked out the Interior Design Show,and I caught up with a few editors that I work with all the time, but never see. Here's a little bit of my trip....
We checked out world renowned graphic designer's, Stefan Sagmeister's, The Happy Show at the Design Exchange. I left feeling, well, happy. If you're in the Toronto area, you should pop by!
The 24 hour diner at Thompson Hotel, where we stayed, in a mini blizzard. Neon glowing through snow, is a happy sight.
Met Suzanne Dimma, editor-in-chief of House and Home, for lunch. So nice to catch up with her. Here she is, busy at work on the next issue. Looked like a good one ;)
If you like taxidermy, you will love Weslodge. It's everywhere in this modern saloon style restaurant. To be honest, we didn't eat there, but did saddle up to the bar for a drink. Great atmosphere, decor, and they make a good cocktail.
We had taken the red-eye to Toronto, and arrived at 7:30am. Ouch. Ended up going for an early lunch at Wvrst, which is pretty much a sausage palace. We opted for the veggie sausages....they were delicious. You can choose from a huge selection of sausages, then decide if you'd like a bun or have it served with curry. Simple and easy.
The Common Thread, an installation by Quadrangle Architects, was one of the exhibits at the "Come Up To My Room" event at the Gladstone Hotel. For more info click here.
Another installation at "Come Up To My Room. This was designed by Brothers Dressler
the masters of using reclaimed, found and responsibly harvested materials.
That was a bit of a whirlwind! I also recommend checking out...
Patria: - a fantastic restaurant. Incredible food and service but it's the stunning, and massive, cross-stitched wall that really got me.
Pizza Libretto: I don't think I've ever had better pizza. They make a true Neapolitan pizza and it's a great space to hang out in too. It was packed the afternoon we popped by, but we managed to squeeze in at the bar. Great value too!
For some images of the Interior Design Show (IDS 2013), I posted several over at Poppytalk.
Have a great day!

text: Glenn Close co-wrote and stars in this period drama based on the short story The Singular Life of Albert Nobbs by author George Moore, centering on the experiences of a 19th century Irish woman who poses as a man in order to work as a butler at an opulent Dublin hotel for the upper class. Maintaining her elaborate ruse over the course of two decades, Albert (Close) suddenly finds her dedication to the role challenged by the unexpected arrival of a painter who turns out to understand Albert better than anyone she could have imagined. Meanwhile, Albert finds her attempts to help pretty hotel maid Helen (Mia Wasikowska) thwarted when Helen becomes enamored with a charming but callous handyman (Aaron Johnson). Albert Nobbs played at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
