Sin never goes out of style, but confession is undergoing a revival.More
This February at the Vatican, Pope Benedict XVI instructed priests to make confession a top priority. U.S. bishops have begun promoting it in diocesan newspapers, mass mailings and even billboard ads. And in a dramatic turnaround, some Protestant churches are following suit. This summer, the second-largest North American branch of the Lutheran Church passed a resolution supporting the rite, which it had all but ignored for more than 100 years.
To make confession less intimidating, Protestant churches have urged believers to shred their sins in paper shredders or write them on rocks and cast them into a "desert" symbolized by a giant sand pile in the sanctuary. Three Catholic priests from the Capuchin order now hear confessions at a mall in Colorado Springs., Colo.
Worshippers are answering the call. During a "Reconciliation Weekend" at churches in the diocese of Orlando, Fla., this March, more than 5,000 people turned out to confess. When five parishes in Chicago joined forces last year for "24 Hours of Grace," where priests welcomed penitents from 9 a.m. on a Friday to 9 a.m. the next morning, about 2,500 people showed up.
Several factors are feeding the resurgence. Aggressive marketing by churches has helped reinvent confession as a form of self-improvement rather than a punitive rite. Technology is also creating new avenues for redemption. Some Protestants now air their sins on videos that are shared on YouTube and iTunes or are played to entire congregations. And the appetite for introspection has been buoyed by the broad acceptance of psychotherapy and the emphasis on self-analysis typified by daytime talk television.
"Every day on Jerry Springer we see people confessing their sins in public, and certainly the confessional is a lot healthier than Jerry Springer," says Orlando Bishop Thomas Wenski, who last March sent out 190,000 pamphlets calling on Catholics to confess.
In the pierced heart of the Crucified, God's own heart is opened up--here we see who God is and what he is like. Heaven is no longer locked up. God has stepped out of hiddenness. ~Pope Benedict XVI

(c) 2018, The Washington Post.
To lower drug prices, the Trump administration is trying public shame.
On Thursday, the Food and Drug Administration posted a list of more than three dozen drug companies that may be restricting access to samples that generic drug companies need in order to make cheaper copies of medicines used to treat conditions and diseases such as acne, cancer and HIV.
The companies with the most complaints include Celgene, Gilead Sciences, Johnson & Johnson's Actelion and Novartis. Generic drug companies requested FDA assistance in receiving samples of a variety of drugs from those companies.
"We know that certain brand name manufacturers are abusing the system by blocking access to samples, and hiding behind FDA's rules when they do it," Health and Human Services secretary Alex Azar said in a Monday speech about the administration's drug price plan. "FDA is going to begin publicly identifying drug companies suspected of engaging in these abusive practices."
FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb has said brand name drug companies' "shenanigans" to stall competition must stop.
FDA said Thursday that it has received more than 150 requests from generic drug companies for the agency's help in obtaining samples. In some cases, the brand name drug companies may invoke an FDA program to limit distribution for drugs that carry major risks, such as birth defects. In others, brand name drug companies use contracts with distributors and wholesalers to limit distribution of their drugs.
"This is a great day for patients, since the Administration's list makes the definitive case why brand-name drug companies must stop blocking generic competition," said Allen Goldberg, vice president of communications for the Association for Accessible Medicines, the generic drug lobby.
The pharmaceutical lobby, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), released a statement expressing concern over the move.
"While we must continue to foster a competitive marketplace, PhRMA is concerned that FDA's release of the 'inquiries' it has received lacks proper context and conflates a number of divergent scenarios," spokesman Andrew Powaleny said in an email. "Additional context is essential."
The drug with the most complaints was Actelion's Tracleer, a drug for a rare condition that causes high blood pressure in the lungs, called pulmonary arterial hypertension. That was followed by Celgene's cancer drugs, Revlimid and Thalomid.
"We're taking these steps today because we believe greater transparency will help reduce unnecessary hurdles to generic drug development and approval," Gottlieb said in a statement. Gottlieb added that the agency also will alert the Federal Trade Commission and urged generic companies to provide information directly to the FTC on anticompetitive business practices.
A bipartisan bill, the CREATES Act, would help generic drug companies obtain samples. It was dropped from the Bipartisan Budget Act in February under heavy pressure from the brand name pharmaceutical industry.
Rep. Frank Pallone Jr., D-N.J., released a statement urging the passage of legislation.
"There is no reason to think that a public list shaming pharmaceutical companies for blocking generics from coming to market will compel them to compete fairly," Pallone said.
In a statement, Celgene emphasized the importance of the FDA safety rules, pointing out that the multiple myeloma drug Thalomid (thalidomide) is associated with severe birth defects.
"These therapies are subjected to rigorous safety controls that have been developed by the company and approved by the FDA," spokesman Greg Geissman wrote in an email. "Celgene has sold and will sell our groundbreaking products to generic manufacturers for the purposes of bioequivalence testing, subject to reasonable safety-related and business requirements. Generic versions of Thalomid and Revlimid are licensed to enter the market in coming years."
Actelion, Gilead and Novartis did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

I left my free site this morning at 7:15. It was pretty chilly at almost 7000 ft. My hands were very cold as I was trying to pack up my stuff. I had to use a match to light my stove as my fingers could not make the lighter work. I just moved fast to stay warm.
Day 7 on the road started with the remainder of the climb I didn't finish yesterday up to Onyx Summit. I made the summit (8443 ft.) in about two hours (it was 6ish miles). Then it was an awesome downhill all the way to Big Bear City and Big Bear Lake. I rode along the side of the lake against the wind. It wasn't too bad because the terrain was fairly flat. I passed the campground I was supposed to stay at last night at about 10:00. I'm glad I didn't try to make it the whole way.
At the end of Big Bear Lake, I started climbing again on Rim of the World Hwy. I climbed for a long time, a REALLY LONG TIME! The views were spectacular causing me to stop and take many pictures (also rest...and eat jelly beans). As the road climbed and followed the contours of the mountains, the view changed from mountainous to wide open where I could see the whole (I'm guessing here) San Bernadino Valley. I went through a number of towns that really seemed to be clinging to the mountain side. It was amazing! Even Rim of the World Highschool seemed to be perched on the precipice of death!
The wind along the rim was pretty brutal. On the sections where I was coming down, the wind was really pushing me around. On one descent, I noticed a CHP behind me. He stayed behind me until the road flattened out. Then he went around. Not long later, as I was coming down another hill, the CHP was parked on the side of the road. Reflagged me over as I went by. I stopped. He wanted to know what kind of bike and gear and where I was going. He is a cyclist, but hasn't toured. When I told him where I was headed tonight, I gave me another alternative to the route. Now, there are only two kinds of people I will let take me off my route. Local cyclists and police officers. He suggested a route that kept me from losing too much altitude (and having to go back up). It brought me back to the route a couple miles later. It had some hills, but a lot less traffic. The only bummer was that I got stuck behind a school bus (remember that highschool?). Anyway, Paul was very nice and I enjoyed the alternative route. He had also suggested a free campsite, but I really needed a shower and Mesa is only $3 anyway. Plus, I wasn't sure how I would get back to the route.
After I went through Crestline, I had to do something I have NEVER done before! I actually had to stop to rest my hands from so much braking! The road was so steep and VERY curvy! I didn't feel comfortable going over about 20 miles an hour, sometimes even less! Some might have had to do with my crash back December, but this was just crazy! I actually looked forward to the ups (except a couple that were particularly nasty)!
Finally, the road straightened out, but continued downhill at a reasonable, no brakes needed, grade. I made it to Mesa at 3:45. Not bad for 65.5 miles! I'm back down to about 3500 ft. Shouldn't be too cold tonight.
The shower here is the BEST SHOWER EVER!!! It's not free, but that's probably a good thing because, otherwise, I'd still be in there! The wind is blowing pretty good, but that is just allowing my clothes to dry faster.
Week one is complete. It seems like just yesterday I was landing in San Diego. Of course, that's what my mind thinks. My body thinks San Diego is but a distant memory! After 7 days I've pretty much got the routine down. Ride, eat, ride more, eat, set up camp, eat, sleep and repeat!
Now, onto more of the "eat" part!

Z-107 in Indiana will be celebrating National Sea Monkey Day tomorrow by having your's truly on their morning show. 8:30am (Central Time.) I'll see about getting a copy of the interview up here soon after.
And in case you were wondering, the monkeys in the picture are trying to find Indiana on the map. They're mistaken in thinking that it's in Eastern Europe. I'm pretty sure it's just south of Mongolia.
Later in the day I'm having friends over for a Sea Monkey Day party. I'll post the pics up right quick.

The little girl was originally declared dead on Friday morning after suffering a fever in hospital. Her family were preparing for her burial on Saturday afternoon when a neighbour of the girl's parents saw
the girl move her head. After being lifted out of the coffin she was given water and taken to the hospital before returning home with her parents.
But sadly, reports now suggest the girl did not survive and has been declared dead once again. A doctor assessed her again today and found no signs of life.
Maybe they shouldn't have given her water

If you sent someone to a 'good' private drug or liquor detox and rehab program and they arrived home with a prescription, counseling appointment that they by no means attended, and relapsed inside thirty days of leaving the middle .you found a lemon center.
Drug addiction has become a serious issue worldwide. Be it New Hampshire or any other metropolis in the world, the issue is exact same all over the place. Nowadays a lot of young people in New Hampshire are obtaining drug addicted. Numerous of them are obtaining trapped into various substance abuse and alcoholism even before getting into there colleges. If you have this kind of kids at your house then this is the time when you need to consider the correct step and quit him from ruining his lifestyle. For that the New Hampshire drug rehab centers are certainly the best option for you.
There was one factor that would usually maintain me back from continuing to complete my drug rehab journey. "WHY"? "WHY" should I quit using? It felt much better to use. This is why no drug rehab program would at any time function for me. The only "WHY" I could at any time come up with was the fact that I didn't want to invest anymore time locked up. I rapidly discovered out that this reason alone was completely worthless.
Addicts and physicians pushing much more drugs to deal with addiction aren't always lying and dishonest you. They really believe they can't stop drug use and might think medication are the only answer. Addicts and addiction doctors are drugging signs and symptoms. They don't know how to remedy addiction. They squirt lemon juice on everything.
Now if you have had enough of this kind of lifestyle there is hope. It has been my encounter that any addict can quit using, lose the desire to use, and find a new way to live. With that becoming said lets speak about some heroin detox strategies.
This is a common query individuals usually ask us. We know that different facilities are usually working in various manners, so it is always difficult to see what is heading to function very best. Nevertheless, we have built up a system to make sure that you become sober and absent from this kind of bad routines. We will make sure that all of these issues are gone and you will conquer your habit.
Aftercare services provided to stop relapse. The rehab will have been successful if you go back again to your earlier drug habits. Look for facilities that give correct aftercare solutions which will stop you from using drugs once more. Drug Rehab NJ is most likely the best location to get good drug rehab centers.

Painting with HVLP or Airless Gun? (post #81125)
I have extensive crown moulding, 37 doors, and trim work to paint in a 6,000 sf home. I was going to purchase an HVLP to do the job. A painter told me that is not a good idea as it will take forever. He suggests I use an airless gun with a 3 18 spray tip with no filter to get the job done. I would be using Sherwin Williams ProClassic paint. Does this sound right? thx.
(post #81125, reply #1 of 58)
He's right. Use an airless for paint. HVLP is more for clear finishes such a lacquer, varnishes etc. where the viscosity is higher and it atomizes smaller. I don't think I've ever seen HVLP used for paint.
(post #81125, reply #2 of 58)
He's wrong (IMHO). You can absolutely spray paint with HVLP, providing it's a powerful enough unit. I've done it manyyyy times. The HVLP will give you much less overspray. If you're planning to buy however, a suitable unit is going to be 700+ simoleans for an entirely self contained unit.

Not so fast there bucko ;-) I have both airless and HVLP and when I paint solid paint the airless makes less overspray mess than the HVLP does on the other hand when I do shellac I'd never go with airless rather the HVLP and pressure pot become my tool..
(post #81125, reply #10 of 58)
Hmmmmmmmmmmm well... I guess we'll just have to call this a rare disagreement ;)
I have both as well and he only time I use my airless is when I have a bigggg job where transfer efficiency and mess aren't a factor. That is to say... not in a while now ;) But of course... YMMV.

OK I failed to mention the covering large areas aspect of an airless sprayer. However I can easily control the mess aspect with the airless sprayer.. I simply narrow the fan down to a small area and the overspray is a minimum.. It's one of the few tools I don't bother to suit up to use. While I may a have a few drops on me at the end of spraying the whole house, It's no where near the potential mess I can create with other methods pf paint application.. (sometimes I think it would be faster if I simply jumped into the paint bucket and threw myself on the walls <grin>
Actually I think the original poster was speaking of crown molding because if he was speaking of base molding or walls and wanted it clear I would tell him to brush it..
While you cover more area with a sprayer, the taping time and mess clean up is much longer with spraying than brushing.. more than offsetting any speed gains by the equipment..

Then you need a lesson on how to set the machine! Dont know if you're aware of it but the HVLP is known for little to no overspray.
You're the only guy that I know that will/could make that claim.

Years ago when HVLP first came into use I believed the claims made, purchased my first gun and sprayed without my normal booth. I still have tools and tool boxes with over spray on them as a result of that disaster. I was able to remove the overspray from my cars only because I spent hours buffing away the over spray.
Thinking that I'd made a major goof somehow I called up the Devilbus rep and asked him over. I reenacted exactly what I'd done previous and explained that I hadn't used my normal "spray booth " approach because of the claims of HVLP. He first confirmed that my technique was correct and then informed me that if HVLP was as good as it's claims the sales of paint booths would be declining instead of increasing..
There will be significantly less over spray than previous guns had but in no way does it eliminate overspray completely. Due to the lower pressure involved less material will bounce off the object and become that dense cloud I was so used to working in but there is still significant overspray..
That is unlike my experience with my airless sprayer which I can paint walls with and need only roll out a narrow strip of ground cover to catch any over spray..
Now granted we are speaking about painting two wildly different materials here.. Clear materials such as shellac or lacquer that are highly thinned and the far more solid and dense latex paints that are unthinned for all intents and purposes.. (sometimes floewtrol is added under certain circumstances)

Frenchy is your HVLP gun a compressor or turbine model?
(post #81125, reply #28 of 58)
Currant guns are all conversion/ i.e. compressor guns. First gun was turbine. That actaully was slightly worse with more overspray.. Plus I'm not sure if it was because it was new or becuase the technique is dramatically differant but the quality of the finish with the turbine gun was simply lousy.. Too much orange peel..
Luckily I sold it before it had much wear on it because 6 months after I sold it the turbine died.
(post #81125, reply #30 of 58)
Orange peel is not the fault of a turbine, it is the AIR CAP used and the finish , humidity, flowout, film thickness and temperature. A turbine can also be throttled down if it is too much volume, but the temp of the air coming out is still as high..and the guns can get warmer than comfortable to hold..again,a GRAPHITE AccuSpray gun body doesn't do that. Air cap and needle..needs to match the viscosity of the fluid..either a Ford or Zahn cup is used.
You didn't get enough training from a pro, if you had such terible results..really. It take a knack, being so different from conventional HP guns.

(post #81125, reply #27 of 58)
I used to demo and sell accuspray guns and apollo turbines, and yes, you can and will still have overspray, just not near as much as a conventional gun. Common sense still prevails as to using an explosion proof spray booth. Both for safty and quality of the sprayed surface.
We distributed Hydrocoat waterbased finishes and our selling points were the non flam strengths, for prisons and schools..and that hydrocoat could be used in an occupied hospital, with out the effect that solvent based finishes could have.
But again, if you expected NO overspray or 100% Transfer efficiency, the only way to do that without a brush or roller is electro-static or dip. Wood doesnt take a neg charge real well tho'.

If you were getting a lot of overspray with your HVLP then you did not have it set right! NO IF ANDS OR BUTTS ABOUT IT! I don't care what any tech was saying to you over the phone, he couldn't see your settings so how the hell would he know if you needed to turn the knob 1/4 turn one way or the other?
I don't know if you are using a true HVLP or one that hooks up to a compressor. I have no experience with the later but when I got my hvlp and started playing with it I was getting a nice cloud in my garage and thinking wtf, why all the overspray? Played around with it trying different settings and finally started shooting without the cloud of dust and the hardy Hi-O-Silver, I had finally got the setting close to right, trick now was to duplicate my experience.
Took awhile but I finally got the knack for setting the gun and I have cut down on my overspray tremendously, don't know if I'm 100% dead on but I'm getting pretty good results none-the-less.
NO tech in the world can tell you over the phone whether or not your gun is set right, that man/woman has not been invented yet!
(post #81125, reply #42 of 58)

Where did you get the idea it was over the phone? I didn't say that.. I got the factory rep out to my place and he confirmed that I was shooting it correctly. The statement he made regarding overspray was to my face. I had the right pressures and the paint was properly thinned.. (first time I'd used a flow meter instead of judgement)
As I said the over spray is less than the old high pressure guns, you don't get the bounce off effect but it is still not completely free of overspray.. others have chimed in here to confirm my statements..
I did get rid of the old turbine powered system (luckily for me) and today both of of my guns work off the big main compressor which I have dialed down to the correct inlet pressure.. The over spray with either system is about the same..

Yes, I agree that there is overspray. Just not as much as an airless, at least in my experiences. I cant speak about the hvlp using a compressor because I've never seen it done so .......

I've sprayed lots of solvent based paint with an HVLP set up. Last Fall I painted some interior doors using latex and it's a completely different animal. Here's what I came away with:
1) The latex has to be thinned more than recommended on the label
2) Floetrol is absolutely needed
3) The air pressure has to be set 25% higher
After thinning the paint as much as I dared, I found the job was still slow going. The results looked OK but it took about 1/2 hour to paint a door and there was plenty of overspray floating about from the higher air pressure (HVMP?).
Most companies formulate latex paints so they don't run easily. This is good when we're brushing a baluster because a heavy coat will stay in place. The viscosity increases if the paint sits undisturbed and I think that's why the stuff is hard to spray with any gun that relies on atomization. Airless guns are pumping the fluid through the nozzle and that lowers the viscosity when it leaves the gun.
(post #81125, reply #17 of 58)
Are you using a true HVLP or a HVLP that connects to a standard air compressor. I would guess you are referring to a compressor since you say you increased the pressure. On a true HVLP the only adjustment is on the gun. The two on most are, volume of paint and volume of air not presure of air, On a true HVLP you have a 3/4" hose not a 1/4" hose.
So lets be clear here we seem to be talking about three systems on this tread.
1) a airless sprayer; a pump sucks up paint and forces down a hose out of a pistol with a
ceramic tip.
2) a HVLP that uses for all basic description a vacuum motor, usually 3 or 4 stage (cheap
ones are 2) a one stage, what most shop vacs are, won't work. A stage is just a fancy
name for how many turbine fins are ganged on the shaft of the vac motor in series,
each turbine has a baffle between it and the next. Air is fed through a 3/4" garden hose.
3) a HVLP that connects to a high volume high pressure compressor and the air is feed
through a 1/4 hose. In theory this is supposed to work never used one. It might work
if you replumbed the compressor to all 3/4" pipe with a 3/4" regulator that you can turn
down to about 8 PSI with no surge every time the compressor turns on. Yes there are
guns that attach to 1/4 hose but from what I heard they do not work well. You would
probably need a 80 gallon tank either way. Not too portable.

"Are you using a true HVLP or a HVLP that connects to a standard air compressor. I would guess you are referring to a compressor since you say you increased the pressure. On a true HVLP the only adjustment is on the gun."
I have owned both. I first started with an expensive ($1K) HVLP system with the turbine compressor and $300 guns. I liked the nice warm, dry air the turbine produced, but the epoxy and PU paints I sprayed soon ruined the guns and the turbine blew up about three months out of warranty.
After that I switched to a conversion gun that uses 40 PSI air from my big compressor. This set up works great with the caveat that you need a two-stage dryer and filter to keep all water and water vapor out of the gun end. After going through several expensive, name-brand guns, I switched to the $70 cheap-o units and they work just as well.
The trade off in HVLP is finish quality versus pressure. Very thin paints can be applied at "normal" HVLP pressures (8-10 PSI at the nozzle) with a good finish. As viscosity goes up, the quality of the finish declines unless the pressure is increased. Of course higher pressure means more overspray, and that sort of defeats the purpose of using HVLP in the first place.
Manufacturers recommend a bigger tip when spraying latex with HVLP because that's the only way to achieve decent volume out of the gun with a normal pattern. But IMO the bigger tips produce a coarser finish and I'd rather take a little longer than have something that looks like it was done with a hopper gun.
Bottom line is the claim that HVLP has "little or no overspray" is an exaggeration and it shouldn't be the main reason to use that type of system. There is overspray, just not as much as with a traditional gun. The biggest advantages for HVLP are that it saves money with expensive paints and the turbine systems largely eliminate problems from condensed moisture on sensitive finishes.
(post #81125, reply #24 of 58)
well said,, that's exactly been muy experiance..
(post #81125, reply #25 of 58)
It sounds like we pretty much agree my post was not solely aimed at you, but to novices who might be reading this post and not realizing that there are two styles of HVlP's. If you still have your traditional system it probably has a ametek turbine you could probably replace it by going through Graingers or a vac supply house cheaper then through the manufacturer of the gun. If it is not an Ametek they should have one that would fit the motor turbine are pretty universal.
The only paints or finishes I use are water base so never had any experience beyond that.
As to overspray I have found that anything that becomes airborne settles as a dust and wipes off pretty easily. But I live in a very dry climate that may have something to do with it.
Forgot to add I would ratter put on two to three light coats then one heavy coat of paint.

This is very helpful discussion for a first-time paint sprayer. You mentioned that a cheapo unit works fine, and the other posters say only use the $700 version.
What model do you suggest I purchase based on your experience with the units you have used. Lowes sells this Spray Tech unit at $300 and appears to be an entry model for HVLP latex spray. Do you think this would work for my trim project in 6000 sf house (and 37 doors)? I'm also concerned that it may dry the paint and clog the gun as you mentioned.
Which tip size do you suggest using? There's lots of references of "big" and "small" tips but to a newbie like me, it's a little foreign.
Also, you mentioned straining often. Is there a particular cloth or material you strain this through?
(post #81125, reply #32 of 58)
From what I can see, the Spray-Tech looks like an airless sprayer, not an HVLP system. HVLP requires compressed air from either a turbine (low pressure high volume) or a regular high-pressure compressor that is used with a conversion gun that "downshifts" to lower pressure at the gun.
When I was talking about cheap-o, I was referring to the price of the spray gun.
(post #81125, reply #33 of 58)
I think you got two or more posts combined in your question as for straining I use cone strainers usually .15 cents each. In a pinch I have used my wife's old nylons too.
Flotrol will help with the paint drying too soon.
As for tip whatever the manufacture of the gun recomends for latex acrilic. Most guns out of the box have the correct one for paint.
TJK I think was referring to a cheapo conversion gun ( one that hooks to a compressor).
To me the attachment you posted is not an HVLP but a airless sprayer.

Yikes!!! I'm glad you guys caught that the Lowes product is not an HVLP. But I'm also surprised by the one quart-size spray can on the HVLP guns. How long of a strip of crown moulding can one paint with a full can? I hope I don't spend all my time refilling the paint can in this 6000 sf house. Based on all this advice, here's what I am planning on doing. Hope I'm reading all your messages correctly:
* Rent an HVLP gun from local rental shop. They tell me it's a professional gun that costs $3000 and professional painters rent them for trim works. This will take the equipment issue out of the equation, leaving only the "operator" as the deciding factor on the quality of spray. I guess I will spend the first hour experimenting shooting out primer as first order of business.
* I will crank the heat in the house to 68 degrees, crack the windows open for air flow to encourage faster drying. I guess it wouldn't matter because I wouldnt be able to get around to a second coat until the next day at best anyway with 37 doors to do.
* I buy the Sherwin Williams Proclassic in 5-gallon bucket. Not sure how many gallons I would need for this size of house. I will pour it out to a 1-gallon can through a strainer (where does one buy such a mesh?). I will then transfer from the 1-gallon can to the spray can, add in the dry retardant material, and start spraying.
* Question: I will stage the house so that the gun is in constant use. How long do I have between stops before I have to clean the gun? If it takes me 15 minutes to take a door down and stage its spraying, is the gun still good?
* If there's a cloud of fume, that means I have "[JOBSITE WORD]pit error" and equipment needs adjustments as it shouldn't do that.
Attached is a picture of the kinds of moulding and trims I will be painting with the HVLP gun. Consider this a "before" picture.
(post #81125, reply #38 of 58)
You will never get that ProClassic to spray without thinning with water at least 10 percent. Try it at 10, fool with the settings, see of she flows and coats. You may have to go as far as 15.
Floetrol is not a thinner. It is not added at 10 percent. It can aid a little in leveling (that is what is happening when the blast of microdrops placed on the surface flow out into a smooth film) but it doesn't lower viscosity.
Be sure you are getting at least a 4-stage machine, if you are not doing the gun/pot/compressor setup.
Doors, flat, per room, huh? Over 30 of them? I'm surpised you didn't bite on the all-doors-painted-painted-upright-both-sides-in-one-place method.
(post #81125, reply #46 of 58)
Gene, after thinking about it more, masking the hinges and painting the doors in place seem like a better idea than taking them down. I thought there was some federal laws preventing this because the idea is so simple, but no one does it that way. Everyone carries to the garage. Why? I would rather mask plastic surrounding the doors and paint on the hinge.
Added to my list of painting to-dos now include:
* Thinning 10% with water. More if needed.
* Add Flotrol to slow drying.
* Confirm rental machine is a 4-stage turbine and not a gun-compressor arrangement.
BTW, I am really surprised to have this much disagreement on HVLP versus airless. Everyone is so convinced their gun works best for them. I think it comes down to trying it out for myself and see how it works.

|"I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that."
"I'm sorry, Dave. I didn't get that."
Has Siri ever interrupted you out of the blue? I found Siri's unprompted statements unnerving, so I turned off both the "Hey, Siri" and Raise to Talk settings soon after they were released. I was admittedly a bit paranoid that Apple was listening to everything I said, even when I didn't initiate the interaction. Of course, my worries were pretty minor and nothing Siri overheard was major or life threatening. (I wasn't interacting with Hal telling me, "I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that," but Siri's similar response was creepy nonetheless.)
After spending some time reflecting on the current and future status of personal assistants (bots), I discovered it can quickly become a rabbit hole of further questions. According to Will Oremus in a recent Slate article, Terrifyingly Convenient, we need to get used to more of our interactions with technology through bots. He tells of an experience similar to my Siri story when Alexa, his Amazon Echo, interrupted a private conversation he and his wife were having by interjecting a joke. Oremus points out that:
"Even as many of us continue to treat these bots as toys and novelties, they are on their way to becoming our primary gateways to all sorts of goods, services, and information, both public and personal. When that happens... Alexa and virtual agents like it will be the prisms through which we interact with the online world."
Facebook is currently testing out their own personal assistant for users called M, who will soon interject suggestions and comments in our interactions and posts. Note that I just used the word "who" instead of "it". That's pretty telling. Oremus writes that:
"Once we perceive a virtual assistant as human, or at least humanoid, it becomes an entity with which we can establish humanlike relations... What's most important, from the perspective of the companies behind this technology, is that we trust it."
I read with great interest as Oremus went on to explain that as these bots get better and do more for us, web search and browser use will fade, and so will mobile apps. Just imagine that for a moment. This world we have just gotten used to with the Internet at our fingertips is about to change yet again. Someday we'll tell our grandkids how we used to have to go to a search engine in a web browser to find an answer. Can you hear them ask,
"What's a search engine and browser, Grandpa?"
As I think of the implications of this for schools, I wonder how much longer we will teach web literacy for the current systems we use. Until I read about the move to bots, I hadn't considered that web browsers and apps would even be going away (I didn't have them listed in my Ed Tech Graveyard). What else will soon be there, or perhaps already is? (Cursive writing? The Dewey decimal system card catalogs? Keyboarding? Using a mouse? Hmm...)
As these bots are programmed, they need to have a source for their information. Amazon's Alexa defaults to NPR for news and Wikipedia for information. There is a way to change this, but it's not clearly stated and most users will likely just accept it. Oremus states that,
"The problem is that conversational interfaces don't lend themselves to the sort of open flow of information we've become accustomed to in the Google era. By necessity they limit our choices—because their function is to make choices on our behalf."
Bot Literacy will be the new Web Literacy.
So how much will you blindly trust the programming and company controlling your bots? I believe that students should understand the background behind the information that their bots provide to them- how it is selected and what is not. The fundamentals of understanding web literacy will still be there, but perhaps it will be called bot literacy in the not so distant future. My favorite resources for teaching web literacy are from Alan November, and these can apply to bots in the future. We will still need to understand and pay attention to issues Oremus points out like "transparency, privacy, objectivity, and trust" as we navigate though a high tech world interacting with bots. The full article on Slate is a great read. For even more information about this, check out The Search for the Killer Bot from The Verge.
A last thought for you to contemplate as you consider the role of bot literacy in the future: at a conference I was at recently, a speaker casually mentioned a conundrum that programmers of Google's driverless cars face. If the bot driving your car knows an accident is imminent and has to chose between saving your single life of the lives of more passengers in the oncoming vehicle, how should the program be written? Yikes! It sounds like a good problem for students to discuss in Bot Ethics 101 classes.

I have a theory that people who are attracted to reality television shows are also attracted to blogs. My little blog started out as a way for me to keep in touch with the people in my life who are scattered throughout the world. Only two of those people were also bloggers----Genevieve and Ellen. One day, I realized that lots and lots of people I didn't know were reading Ellen's blog. She actually had a big following. (this is due to her honesty, her creativity and her general Ellen-ness) I was curious to see who these people were that were reading my friend's blog. So, I started looking at THEIR blogs. I did the same thing with my friend Genevieve's blog. When I started knitting, I plugged into a whole new blogging world. One blog beget another blog beget another blog. Then, I found out about internet swaps. Now, all of a sudden, I am reading a dozen blogs every single day. Some of these strangers have even become friends. I follow their lives with interest and rejoice in their triumphs and feel sorrow in their dark times. I have learned about knitting websites, infertility, child-rearing techniques, shopping tips, freebies, book recommendations.....The list goes on and on. Bloggers are a wealth of information.
I have felt for a long time that technology is alienating us from one another. In some ways, I still believe that. But the internet and blogging have also offered me the chance to meet other people I never would have otherwise. It is my virtual reality tv. And it's great.
(by the way, I may be getting sucked into yet ANOTHER reality show....did anyone see the promos for the Doggie Day Care one? I'm such a sucker for animals!)

I have been watching British reality tv on BBC... there's one called Underdog, which is sort of like Dancing with the Stars, in that celebrities train stray dogs, there are judges, and then Britian votes. The one with the overall lowest score gets the boot.
Coming soon to an American tv near you, I'm sure!

TMZ reports that Cambridge filed a police report last weekend, claiming that The Game, real name Jayceon Taylor, attacked her on March 19. She described the altercation as an argue turned violent. She reportedly suffered from a broken nose and injured eye socket as a result of the domestic dispute.

In response to the allegations, Game told TMZ he never laid a finger on the mother of his 3-year-old daughter Cali and 6-year-old son Justice.
"I don't want to give fuel to these false accusations, but the truth will definitely come out," he said. "I am always looking out for my children's safety and have never laid a hand on Tiffney."

I am really excited to add these to the shop. If you are anything like me, you love vintage photos. I have a ridiculous collection and it is about time to share them with all my friends. There are some I will never let go, and some I have let go that I regret. I used to collect photos of other people's pets and during a purge I accidentally sold them along with another lot of photos to a girl in Tucson. When we started packing to move, I looked everywhere for them and realized they were gone. I've started over collecting vintage pet photos and hopefully will get back the rad collection I had before. Anyways, these collections are really cool, lots of neat shots of families, kids, nature and more. (I like the Christmas ones.)
For lunch today, I made a spinach quiche. It came it really good, although the crust was a little hard to work with so the fluting is a bit uneven. I think it was the humidity.
I could have eaten this whole thing myself, it was so delicious. I am starting to really love quiche. I want to make pies all the time now, including quiche. I go through phases. I also dyed my hair, and finally, after years and years, my hair looks exactly the way I want it to, except that it is still too short, but color-wise, it's perfect! Hooray! I'm too lazy to take a good photo. Here's one from my computer. YES, I am wearing the oldest yellow American Apparel sweatshirt EVER! It's so old, it has faded to the weirdest yellow color, but it's warm and I am NOT leaving the house today!!
Hope everyone has a lovely, stress-free Tuesday and if you're in Southern California, stay dry! It's Niagra Falls out there!! (Which in case you were wondering, is in my top five places to visit in the world...)

Maybe he mostly just wants a new tax. Just wrap it up in 'concern for the environment', and people can just demonize those who oppose it.

If he cares so much about traffic jams, congestion and air pollution, why does he let Park Avenue be blocked off? Why doesn't he do anything about that?

Pershing Square Restaurant blocks Park Avenue going South at 42nd St. for 12 hours a day/6 months of the year! This Causes Massive Congestion & Air Pollution!

But apparently it does not bother NYC's Nanny-in-Chief Mike "Congestion Pricing Tax" Bloomberg? Check out the map!

I've been tagged by FLORIDACHIC at Debt Smack to list 7 random and/or weird things about myself. Hmmm.... Okay - here goes.
1. I'm a Motley Crue fan since 1983. Yes, THAT Motley Crue -- followed by a Yes, REALLY!
I was able to meet the band in 2003 backstage at the Better Live than Dead tour. It was a mind blowing experience because you were allowed some time (albeit short) to talk to each of the band members, get autographs and took a picture with them. My "man" is Nikki (to the left of me in the picture) but Tommy (to my right) was so incredibly friendly. That whole experience is a story for another day.
2. Going along with #1 - in high school I was a rocker chick! It was the 80's and I was a mix of Joan Jett, Madonna and Glam Metal. Black makeup, big earrings, spiky mullet, even red leather jeans, studded belts and fingerless gloves! ROCK ON!
3. I've been to DisneyWorld twice in the last 10 years. I was like a kid in a candy store the first time. A state of AWE the whole first day. I'm a heavy planner so we had good time and caught a lot of the action!
4. I love hand cranked homemade pasta! My absolute favorite thing is homemade ravioli, but it's such a pan in the butt to make by hand I make it VERY rarely. My pasta machine was my grandmother's and doesn't have the capabilities of attachments (like a ravioli maker) like the new ones do.
5. I've worked in the restaurant business my WHOLE LIFE! Minus a few months working as a teacher's aide in a day care setting right out of high school. My parents owned different sorts of restaurants during my life. A Hot Dog Stand, A Diner similar to Mel's Diner if you remember that show, A Bar, A Sub Shopppe and an Italian restaurant. I worked at all of them except the bar. My dad passed away in 1994 and a year later my mom had to sell our last restaurant. I took a couple months off - and found the job I am working now... a restaurant.
6. My son is named after a comedian's skit that I heard in the 80's. About what a cool guy ____ was. He was everybody's friend and everyone wanted to hang around _____. Much more to the skit, but you get the idea. It stuck with me and I never needed to think of another name.
7. I don't remember meeting my husband for the first time. The story he tells is that he used to come order pizza from our restaurant all the time. I don't remember ever talking to him there. (nice first impression, huh??) I do remember seeing him outside of work and thinking, "My! My!!" though... but not at the restaurant. The story of him asking me out for the first time is a winner. There was a parade going through town and I couldn't get past it because the streets were blocked so I decided to stop at the restaurant for awhile to talk to my dad. He wasn't there, so I stopped in the bar next door to see if he was in there. I had no make-up, no hair done and I believe wearing sweats when this guy who I had crushed on before came up and asked me out. I was flabbergasted because I looked like the Wrath of God and he asked me out anyway. I found out after the fact that he had been crushing on me and that's why he ordered so many pizzas! LOL

I know what your thinking. Everybody and all of sports media have been talking about this issue since Xavier shunned the label calling it an insult to the program. Well I decided to wait and here what everyone had to say and then steal all the good stuff! I kid, I kid. Seriously though it has become quite the topic and with Dayton "pulling a Xavier" this week by also turning down inclusion in a piece about mid majors(let it be known that I think they did it just so they would seem as cool as X) in a national magazine this discussion is far from over.
I decided to come up with my own list of reasons your program is/is not/should be considered a mid major. So here you go in no particular order.
1. Your players tend to stick around for four years and actually earn(gasp!) degrees.
2. The national media reports on your team are so infrequent they have'nt bothered to learn the correct pronunciation(eggsavior)
3.The only way your team makes the NCAA tourney is to win its conference tourney.
4.Your big man is either 6"10 and moves like frankenstein or 6"7 and "plays big".
5. Your Point guard is said to have "a great future in coaching "or is always referred to as "scrappy". BTW guys hate it when you call them scrappy.
6. The only chance you have of getting on national tv is during Bracketbuster week.
7. The arena you play in is often called a "classic gym" or a "throwback". (memo to all schools unless you are Butler or play in the Palestra get a new gym.)
I wanted to come up with some more tangible reasons or qualifications but I kept running into problems like.
1. How is Xavier a mid major but South Florida is a major?
2. What does classification of football conferences(bcs) have to do with basketball?
3. What about Memphis and Gonzaga?
4. With the parity in recent years do we even need to label schools as mid or high major?
After much thought and research I decided that I am not really qualified to decide these qualifications. I also decided that neither is ESPN,Fox sports, CBS, or anyone else. It is simply a ridiculous term created to make it easier for the media to describe teams that rise above the usual place that the media has stuck them. Maybe instead of creating buzzwords they could spend some time researching the schools to find out just how they got so far.

Qualifications of a Mid Major? How should I know?

Nice post dastardly. Certainly you are qualified as any of the other 'experts' to determine what mid major is.

This week's question is from Gilion at Rose City Reader. She poses the question:
Then there's this comic, which I think is just generally amusing...
Then there's intelligent humor - humor with a punch behind it. It's funny but it has a point to make. I think a literary character that exemplifies this humor is Mercutio of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. He is constantly making puns and jokes throughout the play, even as he lies dying ("Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man") but his jokes often have a barb of truth to them. Yes, he makes us laugh, but he also makes us pay attention.
Another example that I've recently discovered is my dear Mr. Charles Dickens, who I hated all through middle school and high school and finally picked up last month. I would find myself laughing aloud at Oliver Twist in public places, and then being appalled that I was laughing. Mr. Dickens was poking fun at poor, pure, innocent little Oliver and making light of the villains who made his life difficult, but he phrased those situations in such wry, subtle words that they seemed ridiculous even while being heart-wrenching. My favorite character was the pompous and awful Mr. Bumble, and my favorite quote is this passage about his wife crying -
But tears were not the things to find their way to Mr. Bumble's soul; his heart was waterproof. Like washable beaver hats that improve with rain, his nerves were rendered stouter and more vigorous, by showers of tears, which, being tokens of weakness, and so far tacit admissions of his own power, pleased and exalted him. He eyed his good lady with looks of great satisfaction, and begged, in an encouraging manner, that she should cry her hardest: the exercise being looked upon, by the faculty, as strongly conducive to health. 'It opens the lungs, washes the countenance, exercises the eyes, and softens down the temper,' said Mr. Bumble. 'So cry away.'What a jerk, right? But very witty.
I also enjoyed this very true evaluation of a good sense of humor in The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton:
Isn't that the truth? Anyway, my point is, literature can be funny, and I think it is often better for it. What about you? Any favorite funny literature?

The U.S. Department of Transportation recently took issue with the National Transportation Safety Board's (NTSB) recommendation to transfer oversight of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) from the Tri-State Oversight Committee (TOC) to the Federal Railroad Administration.
Instead, Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said he has put the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) in charge of WMATA oversight -- at least for the time being.
"We agree that the TOC, as currently established, is ineffective," Foxx wrote in a letter to NTSB Chairman Christopher Hart. "We disagree, however, that the best, most urgent and most effective solution is to transfer safety oversight of WMATA's rail transit system to the Federal Railroad Administration."
The recommendations are the result of the NTSB's ongoing investigation into the smoke and arcing accident that occurred on Jan. 12 at WMATA Metrorail's L'Enfant Plaza station. There were also several other events that demonstrated the WMATA is conducting inadequate safety management.
Foxx's letter stated that he agreed with the NTSB's desire to see urgent changes made by the WMATA, but he says that the FTA could more efficiently address the issues.
"Through the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) legislation, Congress provided the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) with greatly enhanced, independent safety oversight authority, which augments the enhanced authority of State Safety Oversight Agencies (SSOA), and if necessary, allows FTA to assume those same authorities in the absence of an effective SSO agency," Foxx wrote. "FTA has the capability to assert this authority and, at my direction, will do so immediately."
The DOT secretary said the FTA will begin making unannounced facility inspections and issue directives to address safety deficiencies as necessary.
"This increased oversight means that FTA will now directly enforce and investigate the safety oversight of WMATA Metrorail until the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia establish a fully functioning and capable SSOA," Foxx said.

Gaiagal: why that title?
I've tried several times to write an entry about my friend India. I struggle with the words. India was an amazing woman. I learned so much from her. In the 15 years we were friends, we had many adventures: She officiated the ceremony of my first marriage, and was the maid of honor and photographer in my second wedding. She guided me to become a high priestess and public leader in the Goddess and political communities in Connecticut. I watched her raise her two boys, Nick and Joe, alone. We had a community access television program called The Witches' Book. We recorded music, made (awful) music videos, and appeared together on several TV and radio shows. I listened to her many woes about finding a man who would fit into her life, and she helped me through a tough seperation and was the first to learn of my love for John. (even before John!) She was always interested as we talked, and when I lived in Boston for several years, our phone conversations were never shorter than 3 hours. She had a dynamic way of storytelling and I feel like I know all of the people in her life through her words. We discussed sychronicity at length. She did her last full moon ritual on my deck with my daughter. It was Lily's first. The Connecticut Law Tribune ran a full-page article on her after her death. The title sums her up well: A Life Lived to the Fullest, A Spirit Unmatched Here are other links related to her: Her lastest artistic endeavor: Jezebel Her work as a Witch in the prisons Witchvox Article after her death Hartford Advocate Publisher's Note In many way I feel like she is as much a part of my life as she ever was. After her services, I was in the car with my husband crying. I said to him that I just wanted some sign that things were OK with her. Anything. Just then, a car drove past us with the license plate 'GAIA'. Ahhh, the Earth Goddess. I got my sign, and went off to the reception with a lighter heart. The reception was at Artspace in Hartford, and featured a sampling of her photography over the years, including series called Initiation and her photos of musicians. When we arrived, Amy approached me and gave me a little vial of India's personal blend of perfume oils, which Amy makes. Scent carries such memories. I asked her if it had a name, and she said "India named it. It's called Gaia." That is just the sort of synchronicity that India and I would have been completely amused with.

"State GOP Chairman Stephen Minarik fired back that Clinton should stop running for president and instead help New Yorkers. 'Maybe Hillary Clinton should focus on her own job, rather than trying to get someone else's job.' "
That's rich. Meanwhile, the NYS GOP bench is so enemic, the Spencerport Young Democrats could wipe them in a statewide election. Seriously, Minarik. Stop talking like you've got an "A-Game" when you can't even get third-tier candidates to step up to run against Clinton and Spitzer. Even the Govenor is scared. Can anyone name the poor sap you ran against Schumer?
Minarik and the Finger Lakes windmills should get together and make something useful out of all that hot air.

Today, Microsoft released a new Windows 10 preview for PCs with Edge, shell, notification, input, gaming, Task Manager, and Hyper-V improvements. This is the upcoming Windows 10 Fall Creators Update sixth build, which is slated to arrive later this year.
Windows 10 is a service, implying it was built in a different way from its predecessors and allows to be regularly updated and not just fixes, but new features, as well. Microsoft has released many updates, including three major ones: November Update, Anniversary Update, and Creators Update.
Edge can now read any PDF and webpage with line highlighting and word. The Edge theme is different from the system and launches under the Share button, besides it has a new animation that allows adding a favorite and small bug fixes bunch.
Next, Windows Shell is also updated to a squash an annoying bug for those having a high DPI display and changing display scaling value. You need not log out and back to fix the desktop apps after undocking, docking and remoting. The Windows provide DPI-related information and gets updated data from the OS. Even re-launching renders correctly, in case they are blurry.
Notification buttons spans across the notification bottom, rather than being right-justified. It is simple to take action on your notifications. The X for dismissing notifications is changed to an arrow and Microsoft hopes to make it clearer that the notification is pushed to the Action Center to be reviewed later. Notification badges are pinned to the taskbar and will be consistent with the theme color and receiving emoji from people is now referred to as a "pop."

Column: The Small Business Consulting Advisor
From the Sept 2011 Issue
This year is shaping up to be a big year for innovation in the world of accounting services and client business processes. I've been researching several companies lately, and I'm learning how they view the market, how they build solutions, and what technology approach they believe will win the most customers today and into the future.
Have you ever noticed how some companies decide to lead customers while others just develop what customers ask for? Apple is the perfect example. Nobody ever asked Apple to develop a device that would hold all their music in their pocket (the iPod), or for a phone with applications (the iPhone), or a digital tablet with Internet and thousands of applications (the iPad). But Apple is really good at leading the marketplace and developing technologies and products that people will want as opposed to the product features people ask for. If Apple had wanted to give people what people wanted, they would have made a Windows PC. I'm a former Apple Evangelist, and it really got into my blood that true innovation comes only when you're willing to do things that customers do NOT specifically ask for, but rather provide something that SOLVES their needs and becomes what they WILL begin asking for in the future.
In the accounting software world, nobody is specifically asking for some of the hottest new innovations coming to market these days. But I predict the most successful companies will be those whose innovations solve many of the less-than-obvious customer pains and those who focus on the entire business process. When I say "entire" business process, I mean they must pay attention to not only their product, but also to how their product fits into the rest of the business system customers require. Even if that means they have to provide extra integrations to make their product work well with other, sometimes competitive, products.
The successful companies break the rules and give us a new way of working. They lead customers instead of just giving them what they ask for. But leading also means they need to make their products compelling enough to make us change our processes. For example, the idea of printing and mailing checks to vendors is really gut-wrenching to those of us who have seen the light and begun using online bill payment services like Bill.com. But for some, the idea of changing their bill payment process is really a scary concept, filled with fear and doubt.

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has hailed new signing, Brazilian forward Roberto Firmino. He also believes he will adapt to life in the EPL.
The Brazil international secured a €30 million move to Anfield in June and the 23-year-old is a major signing for Liverpool.
Rodgers believes the former Hoffenheim player who scored 10 goals and had 12 assists will be an integral part of the team, due to his top class attributes.
"Roberto Firmino is a top class player," Rodgers told reporters at a press conference in Thailand ahead of a series of pre-season friendlies.
"Of course there is no pressure. He will come into the Premier League, it takes a bit of time to adapt. But he has all the traits we want from a player. He works very hard."

Our backyard has always been a source of frustration for Aaron and I. Our many tries at different garden spots never produced veggies, our apricot and plum trees just caused a mess, and NO ONE ever wanted to mow or weed the grass.
We finally decided this was the year for a makeover. Here are the results:
We put the tramp in the ground, so no one else would be hung by the netting (sorry, Nick!)
Our fabulous neighbor built The Tower of Babel for us. The kids are LOVING their playplace. Aaron is in the process of getting the tire swing hung underneath. Use your imagination.
We finally got a patio under the patio cover. We only have 2 chairs (no money left for furniture) so we take turns rocking.
We put a firepit in so we can have wienie roasts. We are now saving up money for the hotdogs!
We also have a new guest that has been visiting us this month. His name is "Doggy." He looks innocent enough, doesn't he?!
Here is our dog, Biscuit. She WAS a sixty year old virgin BEFORE "Doggy" came to visit.
"Doggy" and Biscuit are now enjoying our new backyard on an hourly basis. We no longer go outside, and prefer to keep the blinds closed whenever possible.

Immune surveillance
As blood flows through vessels, it moves fluid through every tissue in the body. From the tissues, fluid is carried into lymph vessels that eventually return it to the blood. This flow allows the immune system to gather information about the state of the body, noting signs of disease that are carried into the lymph system.
Lymph nodes, positioned along lymph vessels, contain specialized antigen-presenting cells (APCs) that take up proteins and peptides (antigens) flowing through the lymph and present them to effector cells. When the APCs recognize signals indicating disease or damage, they "activate", causing effector cells to seek out and destroy the foreign antigen. Because this response adjusts to target specific antigens, we call it the adaptive immune system. This results in rapid clearance or systemic toxicity, which limits the efficacy of these immunogens.

Playtone has shifted from Greek weddings to a swarm of CGI insects.
Partners Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman have made a Universal deal to turn the Mary Howitt classic tale "The Spider and the Fly" into a CGI film that will be written and directed by Bradley Peyton, helmer of the short "Evelyn, The Cutest Evil Dead Girl."
At the same time, Playtone has shifted "The Ant Bully" from U to Warner Bros., the studio that just wrapped production on the Robert Zemeckis-directed Hanks starrer "The Polar Express." Playtone, which produced "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," produced "Polar" with Zemeckis' Image Movers.
"Ant Bully" is an adaptation of the John Nickle picture book about a boy who gets shrunk to insect size after hosing down the inhabitants of an anthill with his water gun. He's sentenced to hard labor in the colony, where he learns the virtues of teamwork as the ants successfully fight off a wasp attack. The film comes to WB with a script written by John Davis, co-writer and director of the CGI hit "Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius." Davis will direct "Ant Bully."
Hanks and Goetzman will work with Universal on "The Spider and the Fly," the cautionary tale of a fetching young fly who gets flattered by a spider who tries to charm her into joining him in the spider web. Does he mean those compliments, or is he just hungry? It's based on the 1829 poem by Howitt, which was in the public domain.
The producers got their first taste of animation with "The Polar Express," the Castle Rock-based adaptation of the award-winning Chris Van Allsburg picture book. A mix of live action and 3-D animation that is created by motion capture technology, the pic is a "Cast Away" reteam of Hanks, Zemeckis and scribe William Broyles. The film will be in theaters Thanksgiving 2004.
Playtone is also prepping a CGI adaptation of the Maurice Sendak 1963 book "Where the Wild Things Are," with Hanks and Goetzman producing with Sendak's partner, John Carls. "Pocahontas" co-director Eric Goldberg will direct. It is being written by Michael Goldenberg ("Peter Pan").

I've watched this movie twice already! 🙂
Shout-outs :
- Thank you to Teleserv for the Advance Screening last May 4 in Gateway, Cubao, and the awesome freebies including a jacket and tumbler. Thank you Kassy for the invite.
- And thank you to my friends for watching it again with me last weekend. Thank you to those who've never watched a Fast and the Furious movie before but still watched it. I'm sure you were kinda.. what/bored??! but I hope you enjoyed. 🙂
And I really don't want to review the movie, per se. What is there to review? It's an action film about hot cars, funny/hot men and women, and kicking ass. As someone put it, it's not Ulysees, but enjoyable.
Fast Five Things Why I Likey This Movie:
1) Funny punchlines
It's not a comedy but almost all of the characters made me laugh. haha! Or mababaw lang talga ako. 🙂
2) Han
I love Han. 🙂 Who is he? He's this handsome fellow below.
He dies in Tokyo Drift, but Fast Five is a prequel to Tokyo Drift, hence he's alive– capisce?
Latinas Girls Rock
The whole movie
only had Latinas had Latinas and an Israeli (Gisele Harabo). All the girls were hot.. and strong! Let's face it, they carried their weight. Haha! "Latina" and one of the boys.. sounds familiar? haha!
Oh and Fast Five Latina Hairflip for the win! 🙂 **
4) Fight Scenes
The movie was action-filled from start to finish! Seriously. I've never been so happy to be a boy before.* Haha! 🙂 My favorite scene in the movie was when Vin Diesel and the Rock go head to head. Wrestling!
5) it's like Ocean's 11— only a lot younger.. and street. 🙂
I enjoyed the movie. I liked the plot twists and turns and whatnot. Someone commented that Vin Diesel and Paul Walker's acting chops were very shallow at best. I agree, still doesn't detract from how great an action movie this is. 🙂
Goodness, I'm such a boy.* haha! 🙂
To end this, I give you "How We Roll" by Don Omar off the really nice Fast Five OST.
*I'm not a boy, but I do enjoy very boyish things like cars, action films, toys, etc etc.
**I kinda coined this term because of Gisele's entrance in the movie. haha! 🙂 I like doing this. Add this to the crazy stupid things I do for fun. CHECK!

The bulk of my day was spent with my bestie Chris. No he's not out here visiting, he's still in Montana and I'm still in California but we did watch a few shows together and then played some LOTRO.
We first started with the latest Doctor Who episode "Cold War". I was annoyed at the beginning of this episode.and I couldn't really tell you why.. but it kind of tainted the episode for me. It did get better as it went but still I haven't really been wow'd by the past few episodes. I really want to learn more about the new companion and why the Doctor keeps running into re-incarnated version of her.
The next thing we watched was the latest Once Upon a Time episode, well come to find out that it wasn't an episode but a very cool and very detailed recap of season one and what has happen so far on season two. After watching it I realized how well the over all story has been put together. This show is so amazing and is by far one of my favorite TV series in quite some time. I can't wait for the remaining three episodes of this season.
Spent the remaining few hours watching some TV.
