Back in the fall I took advantage of a sale at the discount retailer Harbor Freight and bought myself a greenhouse. It was a small greenhouse at only 6'x8′ in size which would be about 48 square feet of space. I've always heard gardeners say that no matter what size greenhouse you have you will always need more space! I figured before spending a bunch of money on greenhouses I should test small and inexpensive one to see how it goes then move up from there. I primarily need to use the greenhouse in the early spring as a growing location for sprouted seeds that need to be moved from my seed starting shelves to clear space for more seedlings.
The construction of this greenhouse took me a while. I was assembling it by myself and only working on comfortable days outdoors – and in the winter comfortable days can be rare! I finished the construction part of the greenhouse this past weekend but I'm not completely finished yet.
Harbor Freight Greenhouse Review/Evaluation
First let me highlight the good points:
- It's inexpensive and very affordable.
- It can be assembled by one person although two or more people would help greatly with assembly.
- The parts were all clearly labelled.
- It has two adjustable windows to allow heat to escape as needed.
The not so good points:
- The instructions are not as clear as their should be. When dealing with lots of specific parts some better graphical illustrations would have helped. There were several occasions where I misinterpreted what was on the instructions then had to fix the problem later.
- It's not as air tight as I would like the greenhouse to be. There are small gaps here and there that will need sealed with caulking or weather stripping.
- I'm not confident that the clip system will keep the panels attached to the greenhouse in high winds. I have seen several sources online that have use additional methods of attaching the panels to insure both a tight fit and keep the panels attached.
My overall opinion:
For the money it's probably the best the greenhouse can be. The design has flaws in my opinion as a DIY person. Had I been building or designing the greenhouse I would have had a different method for attaching the panels. If the panels had been made so that the end tapered to a flange that could be inserted into a vertical support then screwed in it would have made a better seal and would have alleviated my concerns about the panels coming loose.
I attached mine to a 4'x4′ base on top of cement blocks. I haven't filled the blocks yet but plan to attach the 4'x4′ base to several of the blocks. I will also fill in the gaps around the cement blocks with soil to help insulate the lower part of the greenhouse. I'm planning on using some spray foam insulation to fill in other gaps around the base then coming back to caulk windows and other gaps as needed.
I paid around $240 for the greenhouse but the actual cost of installing it was higher due to the 4'x4′ base, cement blocks, caulking, spray foam insulation, and other future costs that will pop up.
My preference would have been to put up a hoop house but as we have an HOA I thought it might be best to put up a more formal hobby greenhouse. Hoop houses can be a lot cheaper to put together and offer more square footage. A timber framed greenhouse might also be an option. Wood materials can be salvaged or bought cheaply and the plastic panels can be bought separately although this may ultimately be more expensive in the long run.
Have you bought a greenhouse for your garden? What kind did you buy and what did you think of it?

The race to LTE roll-out in South Africa still hinderedSubmitted by amitie on Tue, 04/30/2013 - 06:55.
The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA), our country's communications regulator, has enough spectrum to go around for mobile operators such as MTN and Vodacom who are ready to implement long-term evolution technology (LTE), but national rollouts are simply not happening.

Making Internet accessibleSubmitted by Guy Berger on Thu, 03/31/2011 - 08:36.
Everyone knows there's an issue in access to the Internet in much of the developing world. BUT:
* Are we talking about access for adults, or also for teens and children?
* Are we talking about access at home, work or anywhere? What diffs does it make?
* Is it access at any time - or does once a month access mean a person counts as an "Internet user"?
* Is it access on any screen? Are cellphone screens good enough for meaningful access?
* Do we count "shaped" use as access - eg. Blackberry packages @ R2 a day are fantastic, but no downloads allowed.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of taking a tour of the new ON3P facilities in Portland, OR. It is under this roof where they make 100% of their production skis and prototypes, made in Portland. My hat is off to them for never giving up and moving production overseas but instead maintaing the integrity of their brand and never loosing touch with the core beliefs ON3P was founded on, quality and the effort to create a more sustainable production. As with any small independent business this labor of love has not come without setbacks and the tough reality of building a brand from the ground up, something I can all too well relate too.ON3P was founded in 2006 and the name derives from the original location in Washington State, On 13th and Proctor. But ever since the inception of ON3P it has been a growing hit among the freeski community with an active presence on the forums and constant focus on it's customers. It was time that I went down and saw that passion first hand, not to mention the common ground we share of being small independent startups just trying to take our piece of pie from the giants that exist in our respective sides of the industry. Nothing comes easy and this photo essay is a true testament of making a dream become a reality.Behind this door is where the story begins.With only having moved in a few months ago, the front showroom is still a work in progress. The full facility should be finished by summers end.This is Rowen, he heads up production management among other things at ON3P and was our tour guide for the afternoon. To start things off he showed us his very first pair of sticks from ON3P.Welcome to the new ON3P production facility and warehouse. They are just freshly moved in and still getting the walls up for each stage of production from start to finish, a completed product under one roof.First stop is the wood room. It is here where the bamboo core's are kept along with edges and bases, pretty much every raw material that will be pressed together and eventually create a finished product. All the byproduct from plaining the bamboo into shape for a ski all gets picked up by a local horse farmer, one step in minimizing their footprint in modern day ski production. The entirety of their materials and production can be found here.Bamboo core coupled with the thickest edge you can put in a ski, their thinking, why would you skimp on something so important as quality? I can agree whole heartedly with taking pride in the products we work so hard to create.Bases.A ski starting to take it's form.What holds it all together. This fiberglass station has been with them since the beginning and is literally dripping with history.The press. Best part is they made their own, yea, "holy shit!" was my response too. They didn't make just one but two presses in an effort to meet the growing demand for a quality ski.You might have seen pictures of these making their way around the internet last week and trust me, they are no april fools joke. Properly titled, The Oar. Sampling and engineering new prototypes is something they take very seriously. No technology in the world has remained the same, so why would it be any different in the snow world. Pushing the boundaries of design and function is just another day at the office for ON3P.And no warehouse is complete without it's very own kegerator.You can stop by the warehouse for free demos as you can see below Kip is setting a pair up for some weekend shred.Last but not least, coming soon they will be hosting the 2nd annual ugliest top sheet competition, which, you guessed it, is a competition where the ugliest design wins. Below is last years winner. Get your clip art ready.A huge thanks to everyone at On3p for showing me around. For everyone else, if you're in the area stop by and check them out and support the industrie's independent brands!ON3P is located at:5622 N.E. Hassalo st.Portland, OR, 97213.

This post originally appeared on The Nuance at Patheos.
It's Good Friday, and lots of Christians are reflecting on the single most defining truth in our faith-story.
That Jesus died for our sins according to the Scriptures.
Yes, there's more to the story than just that. But if you were going to pin down one sentence, one phrase, that encapsulates who we are both in our own perception and the perceptions of those outside the church, it would likely be, Jesus died for our sins. Yes, Jesus lived (to inaugurate the kingdom). Yes, Jesus rose (to begin the new creation). Indeed, Jesus is Lord (and Caesar is not). And of a truth, Jesus is coming again (to complete the new kingdom/creation).
But all of this, and the whole story, seems to powerfully pivot on the point of his death.
The problem is, the way we have often understood that phrase -- Jesus died for our sins -- misses the real depth and significance of Good Friday. We have viewed it primarily as an individual transaction to pay for my damnable mistakes (and save me from the fiery wrath of God in the afterlife). Perhaps the last thing we have in mind when we say it is the thing that is really at the center of it: Israel. For Good Friday, and the crucifixion itself, uniquely locates our faith-story in the story of Israel.
Really, the cross can only be understood the apex of Israel's prophetic anticipation. What I mean is, the hope for a pathologically unfaithful and politically oppressed nation was a Messiah who would somehow ameliorate their unfaithfulness and liberate them from the empire. And, given this nation's history of worshiping God through sacrifice, it makes sense that both of these problems might be solved through a scapegoat. In this case, a person who would somehow embody all of Israel's unfaithfulness and endure the just consequence of their sin -- the oppression and retribution of the empire, par excellence, by execution on a Roman cross.
One of the key ways in which Israel had been unfaithful was in their vocation as a light to the world, and in their potential to welcome the world. That is, they persistently adopted the ways of empire -- power, greed, excess, violence, oppression -- and excluded those on the margins from full religious and social acceptance. During his kingdom-inaugurating life, Jesus confronted this head-on by attacking the unrighteous economies and exclusionary table practices of the religious insiders. Just before his arrest, and likely provoking his arrest, Jesus turned over the tables in the Temple, which symbolized both unrighteous economy and religious exclusion.
Thus, Jesus became the true Israel, the light of the world, the one welcoming strangers, the unclean, Gentiles, women.
And Jesus died for Israel's sins of exclusion.
Obviously, what was true of Israel's unfaithfulness is no less true of all of us. In this sense, Jesus "is the atoning sacrifice for our [Israel's] sins, and not only for ours, but also for the sins of the whole world."
And, "now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ."
But it goes further than that: "His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility."
Through the cross, the prophetic anticipation of Israel's forgiveness and restoration was accomplished. But also the forgiveness and restoration of everyone. And the making one of two groups formerly at odds -- the religious and non-religious, the insiders and outsiders, those at the table and those eating the crumbs. Reunited as one new humanity.
Jesus died to be inclusive. So why is the church so bent on being exclusive? (Tweet This).
Why do we continue to practice policies and doctrines that deny the humanity of those who identify differently? Why do we create new classes of the unclean? Why can't women lead? Why do gay people face dehumanization and discrimination? Why do racial minorities find themselves outnumbered and outcast?
On Good Friday, this is what we must consider. That the whole meaning of the cross is wrapped up in putting to death the hostility between insiders and outsiders. In restoring the welcome of the covenant, so that Abraham's family may truly become a family of many nations, peoples, and cultures. Indeed, a blessing to the whole world.
Today, on Good Friday, Jesus is dying to be inclusive.
Why aren't we?
By the way, if the cross is our defining truth, it must be the truth that ties together all the other truths. And indeed it is. Because the Messiah was really, truly the Liberating King of Israel. And, as he inaugurated the kingdom during his life, he qualified himself, not just to be a scapegoat, but to be a spotless, innocent lamb. And for this reason, God couldn't allow the innocent king to remain in the tomb. The empire couldn't keep this good man down. That would be wrong.
So, God raised him from the dead.
And after Jesus rose, he ascended to reign at the right hand of God the Father, leading a host of captives in his wake, including the empire, sin, and, now, even death itself.
The true light of the world has guaranteed that no unfaithfulness can stop the new kingdom and creation from restoring perfect peace, justice, and love to the good world that God has made.
So we might as well join him, forgiven and free from guilt, in welcoming all into this covenant family.
It's Friday -- but Sunday's coming.

I have 9 apple trees in my orchard, and a small tree in each of my chicken runs, plus two new crab apple trees in my vegetable plot.
I inherited 6 small trees, grown on dwarf stock, and these trees need pruning every winter other wise they get out of hand and end up growing nothing but new branches and plenty of leaves and no fruit.
Of the other three trees, one is a crab apple, bought in to aid pollenation, most apple trees need a pollinator which can be another apple tree that blossoms at the same time or the crab apple which tends to have an extended blossom period. The other two trees are large trees and other than keeping them tidy will be allowed to reach their full height!
When we first inherited these trees we decided to go on a course that would show us how to prune apple trees properly, and although I can remember the basics, I am still not 100% sure that I do it right!
We are pruning back to fruiting spurs, the fruiting buds are bigger then the leaf buds, and they appear on a short spur, and so all of the growth from the leaf buds will just use up energy that the tree needs to prodcue apples. So, we prune back all of the previous years growth to where the fruiting spurs are, so that the blossom has the best chance of being pollinated, and the apples have chance to take hold before the tree does indeed start producing leab-ves and new brabch griwth!
We have been doing this for about 6 years now, and for sure we are getting better fruit production for our efforts.
Here is one of the trees before pruning.
And here is oine of the pruned tree!
A bit different isn't it!

WALL, NJ--(Marketwired - Oct 7, 2013) - BIO-key International, Inc. (OTCBB: BKYI), a global leader in fingerprint biometric identification solutions, advanced mobile authentication and identity assurance technologies, today announced FreeChoiceID, an entirely new approach to mobile biometric authentication privacy. FreeChoiceID allows BIO-key integrations to accommodate and expand on the concepts embodied in mobile biometric platforms such as the Touch ID™ capabilities of the newly released Apple® iPhone® 5S, while simplifying development of biometric-enabled applications which need to operate across the many and varied device-centric biometric subsystems that will shortly arrive in the marketplace.
"The time has come for ubiquitous fingerprint biometric authentication," stated Michael DePasquale, BIO-key CEO. "Apple's Touch ID system and other soon-to-be-introduced finger biometric device offerings will lead to an unprecedented increase in awareness of the effortless security and convenience afforded by fingerprint authentication, something our customers and partners have already achieved with BIO-key's WEB-key platform. With the release of this new FreeChoiceID module for WEB-key, BIO-key will allow greater flexibility in where and how fingerprint template data is stored, as well as where and how matching occurs -- on the device -- using BIO-key's or another available biometric matching subsystem, or in the cloud -- on secured servers at an enterprise's or service provider's data center. Regardless of the model employed, a BIO-key integrated application can authenticate any user, regardless of the device or subsystem used, or where the biometric data resides."
BIO-key's existing biometric solutions are available for direct ISV integration, in combination with industry leading IAM platforms with the ID Director suite of products, as well as via open authentication protocols. ISVs may integrate BIO-key's modules directly into their applications for distribution as an OEM component. ID Director melds BIO-key authentication into partner enterprise credentialing systems such as IBM ESSO and ISAM, Computer Associates SiteMinder, Caradigm, Allscripts, and EPIC. Lastly, BIO-key will support open authentication standards such as OpenID, SAML 2.0, and FIDO to allow rapid integration of this technology into existing enterprise and cloud services, as well as allowing alternative authentication options.
FreeChoiceID leverages BIO-key's patents on the use of trusted computing environments such as TrustZone™ in storing biometric and related key data, and BIO-key's patented secure transport of biometric and secondary form-factor user authentication data between devices and across public or private networks. Expanding upon BIO-key's patented WEB-key platform, FreeChoiceID ensures consumer and enterprise user authentication data is secured as it is moved between a device and cloud-based services, and that data is properly protected when it is used by WEB-key.
The breakthrough and patent pending feature of the FreeChoiceID module is the option to give users unprecedented control over the privacy of their own biometric data. They can control where it is stored, in what form, and which applications have access to it, enforcing that control through a unique remote encryption process that places the source of the biometric, not the recipient of it, in control of its ongoing use. For years, users have had to trust that those receiving their sensitive data for one purpose would not allow its use for another. It is a market reality that privacy policies change and databases are compromised. It is not enough to rely on privacy policies -- the user should be put back in charge of their data, and the advent of smartphones makes that possible. FreeChoiceID places each person's record encryption key, or even the biometric data and matching process itself, under their own control, securely stored and executed in their own personal device or devices.
Using the BIO-key FreeChoiceID mobile application, users of a BIO-key integrated application can approve or deny each access to their biometric data by any BIO-key application even when it is stored on a server in a public or private cloud -- leaving them in control and aware of how it is accessed and when, regardless of privacy policies, which are routinely bypassed by hacker and insider breaches, as well as "back door" access to these systems. Users can specify different policies for their data on different sites. Both the relying application and the user will know where the authentication is taking place, allowing applications to apply risk-aware policies based on the nature and security of the match performed. Providing users this control will also allow BIO-key enabled enterprises to more easily comply with the variety of privacy laws affecting retention of biometrics, without the overhead of having to manually manage compliance for FreeChoiceID enabled users. FreeChoiceID puts the user in charge of their own biometric data, so informed consent for continued retention and compliance with removal requests is implicit.
"BIO-key already has a strong track record in providing convenient and highly accurate authentication solutions, which operate across dozens of fingerprint scanners, is already integrated with major enterprise and federated IAM solutions, and runs on all major device OS platforms," said Jim Sullivan, BIO-key's Vice President of Strategy and Business Development. "Our customers tell us that one size does not fit all when it comes to mobile biometric authentication -- using servers allows for the important capabilities of in-person identification without any device, auditing and logging for non-repudiation, consistent authentication across many devices without re-enrolling, and duplicate record detection. On-device matching allows local applications to authenticate without a network, and allows users to keep their biometric data in their own possession. We want to accommodate all needs in this dynamic marketplace, and FreeChoiceID is a natural evolution of our vision. With the introduction of fingerprint authentication on mobile devices such as Apple's Touch ID, our customers want to incorporate those on-device authentication modules into an overall fingerprint biometric ecosystem which spans mobile, laptop, as well as face-to-face authentication scenarios. Consistent with this vision, we plan to allow users with accessible on-device biometric subsystems to associate them with their WEB-key cloud-based identity, and then conduct authentication via WEB-key, using the local subsystem on their device. As new accessible biometric authentication modules enter the market, we will incorporate them into this ecosystem as well. A single integration with BIO-key will leverage all available possibilities."

There is a fundamental misunderstanding amongst designers when they enthusiastically tell you that they're a User Experience designer.
When I used to train for motor racing, I'd always exercise and practice as if I was a sprinter. Being a sprinter requires you to be incredibly fit, fast and explosive. Every morning at 6am I'd get up to meet my trainer and start the process of weight lifting, running with parachutes, the whole deal. It was fun and I got fit, I got strong and I got fast.
Not once did I compete in an event. Not once did I call myself a sprinter. I merely tried to be a sprinter but training like one did not make me one.
Recently I traveled to New York to attend a WordCamp conference, and being a passionate designer I stuck to the design track. Almost every talk had an element of user experience design in it so I was intrigued to hear what the pro's had to share.
During each talk I made a point during the Q&A's to ask if the speaker had in fact done user testing and the answer I got from everyone was… "No."
These days, it's difficult to find a designer who doesn't have the words "User Experience" in their title. They're on Dribbble, they're on Twitter, they're at talks, they're everywhere and yet in 10 years I have only met three people who I actually consider to be genuine UX designers. They are Jeffrey Zeldman, Dana Chisnell and Rian van der Merwe.
Just the other day I was in a presentation where three designers in the room described themselves as User Experience Designers and not one has done a single UX experiment.
There is such a massive difference between creating interfaces which look beautiful, and creating interfaces which your target market can/will actually use. The former involves pushing pixels requiring little experience, whereas the latter involves a deep understanding of what will and won't work based on research, testing and data.
Being proficient in Photoshop / Sketch / HTML & CSS enables you to practice interface design but that won't make you a better experience designer. Until you have observed someone (in silence) using the product you've created, you could not possibly understand how mind altering it is to see your work torn apart.
Obox knows this because Marc and I have been there. We commissioned Flow Interactive in Cape Town to test the purchase flow of our old site which involved us sitting behind one way glass while we watched five different people interact with our site. I will never forget the nerves and the anticipation right before the first person typed in our URL and pressed "Login."
We wondered why she pressed Login, when in fact she had never visited our site before. Her response? "I'm registered on WordPress so I need to login first." That would've been awesome if our site was WordPress.com, however our site was Oboxthemes.com. By the end of the day, we had made over 1,000 (yes one thousand) notes and observations from just 5 test subjects. Our minds had officially be blown wide open.
So can you just imagine the immense frustration we experience when we sit in the room with people who claim to do something they have no idea about? If you call yourself a User Experience designer you are making claims much larger than you think.
Please, before you show off your ability in understanding what your users want – organise a test, sit quietly, observe and be ready to have your mind blown. I promise you that once the day is over you'll have a new appreciation of what it means to genuinely be a User Experience designer.
Here is a follow up post for those who want to learn more about user testing, in our opinion the most important part of UX design: The Do's and Dont's of User Experience Testing

This week's Baby size as fruit or vegetable: Mango
Pregnancy symptom of the week: Pelvic discomfort (again)
After last week's excitement of the anomaly scan and finding out we are going to welcome another boy to the family, this week has been excitement free, and that's mostly the way I like it. As long as everything continues to tick along nicely without event, I'm happy!
Our boy bump has been noticeably more active by the day, with the movements feeling stronger which I am loving, but Daddy is still waiting for that first kick to be felt from the outside. I can't wait for Joe to be able to feel his little brother wriggling around – he has been talking about the baby more, and often asks to read There's A House Inside My Mummy. I think he still has it in his head that the baby is going to burst forth from my stomach at some point in a scene reminiscent of Alien, so I have had to explain to him that won't happen and that it will all be considerably less violent – hopefully! His curiosity about how the baby got in there in the first place is lovely but I still don't think I've satisfied him with my woolly answers. It's harder than I thought it would be!
As my bump continues to increase in circumference I am feeling a few more pregnancy niggles by way of stiff hips and some pelvic discomfort. This still hasn't progressed to the point of being truly painful, but I have winced a few times getting up from my desk at work, and turning over in bed is the worst! I have to almost sit up and use my hands to help me turn around. I am thinking of making two purchases now – the first being a support cushion or pillow to help me get and stay comfy in bed (check out the great selection at Beebies Baby Store), and the second a gym ball to sit on and get the benefit of some gentle core exercise. Sitting on an appropriately sized gym ball can also help you to maintain ideal posture and relieve pressure on a painful pelvis. Thanks to those yummy mummies on Twitter who gave me some tips and recommendations for using one.
Lovely Lucy Howlett of LIFT Personal Training shared this video with me containing some fab tips for using a gym or birthing ball during pregnancy:
I'm planning on getting myself one this weekend so will update on how I get on with it next week!
I'm linking up with Ghostwriter Mummy's Maternity Matters

Within the CF microbiome, NTM are a distinct group of organisms, with over 170 different species and subspecies that vary markedly in pathogenicity. Progress in clinical research has been slow, as NTM infection is not a reportable disease and requires highly specialized culture techniques. A fundamental obstacle for both clinicians and researchers is the lack of access to state-of-the-art laboratory support to culture and identify organisms using molecular tools. NJH is the home to the largest mycobacteria treatment program in the United States, and offers the world-class facilities for mycobacterial culture, drug pharmacokinetic, and molecular diagnostics that are needed to systematically study NTM infections in the context of CF. While currently many physicians nationwide send NTM isolates or raw sputum samples to NJH for identification or expanded drug-susceptibility testing (DST), there is no mechanism in place to identify which samples originate from CF patients, or to integrate these results within the context of the Care Center Network. Following a model successfully developed by Dr. John LiPuma at the University of Michigan within the CFF-supported B. cepacia Research Laboratory and Repository, isolates submitted from within the CF Care Center Network will be tracked and undergo additional analysis. In addition to identification and DST, strains within the same subspecies will be forwarded to the Molecular Core (described below) for genetic fingerprinting, for the purpose of monitoring of clonal strains within Centers and between Centers. If detected, the Core will inform the Care Centers of the potential that transmission is occurring. In addition, these isolates will be banked for future analysis, as the methods available for analysis of clonality is evolving rapidly. Dr. LiPuma has advised in the development of this RDP, and is serving on the External Advisory Committee.
Therefore, we propose to establish an NTM Culture, Biorepository, and Coordinating Core under the direction of Charles Daley and Max Salfinger, to support the clinical care of CF patients within the CFF Care Center Network, as well as translational research and clinical trials. This Core will work in a synchronized fashion with the Molecular and Clinical Research Cores proposed in this application, as well as the Pilot Project.
The central mission of the NTM Culture, Biorepository, and Coordinating Core are to provide:
Essential state-of-the-art culture
Molecular speciation,
Drug susceptibility testing (when requested),
Banking of isolates and distribution to qualified investigators
Coordination of data and communication of results to CF Centers.
Specific aims are contained within the core proposal.

The Twilight Zone™ Tower of Terror
In Hollywood Land at Disney California Adventure Park, guests discover the seemingly abandoned Hollywood Tower Hotel, a once-luxurious remnant of Hollywood's Golden Age, now a mysterious building locked in time on Sunset Boulevard.
Brave visitors who explore the site will find a lobby that appears to have been hastily vacated decades ago, along with an "Out of Order" elevator with bent and damaged doors, and a dark and spooky library where the old-fashioned television suddenly comes alive with the voice and image of "The Twilight Zone" host Rod Serling. They've just crossed over into The Twilight Zone™ Tower of Terror.
The popular attraction at the Disneyland Resort features a thrilling drop from the 13th floor in a high-speed, 21-passenger hotel elevator, along with props and décor that re-create that fateful Halloween night more than 70 years ago.
According to Disney legend, the Hollywood Tower Hotel first opened its doors in 1928 and quickly secured a place of honor in the booming Hollywood film community. It was at the height of its popularity in 1939 when a mysterious occurrence forced it to close.
One stormy, rain-drenched evening, as the hotel elevator ascended, lightning struck the tower. The elevator plunged, carrying its five unlucky passengers to certain doom. But this was no ordinary storm, no ordinary stroke of lighting. Before it reached the bottom of the shaft, the elevator and its passengers vanished. Now guests who ride the hotel's remaining service elevators may take a detour into the fifth dimension, where they spot those ghostly passengers…and even experience their terrifying plunge.
- The Hollywood Tower Hotel at Disney California Adventure is 183 feet tall, the tallest building in Anaheim.
- Guests who board the elevator make several strange stops before rising to the rooftop and then plummeting back to the basement in a series of drops.
- The architectural style of the hotel is known as Pueblo Deco. To emphasize a sense of neglect, the pale ochre-colored hotel appears as though nothing has changed since its sudden closure in 1939, when the five souls mysteriously vanished from the elevator.
- Pueblo Deco, popular in the 1920s, is characterized by the clean, geometric shapes common to the Art Deco style. It also borrows elements from southwestern Native American art, such as radial sunbursts, arrowhead shapes, and simplified thunderbird motifs. A prime southern California landmark in the Pueblo Deco style is the Los Angeles City Hall building.
- The landscaping at Tower of Terror is designed to reflect what was typical of an upscale hotel in 1930s Southern California. Chinese flame trees, magnolias, and various palm trees accent the building. Dead palm fronds are intentionally left on the palm trees to indicate a lack of care for many years. Tall grasses grow among the shrubs and ground cover, contributing to the "unkempt-by-design" look.
- Music heard in the area includes jazz and popular tunes from the 1930s, such as "I Can't Get Started With You" by Bunny Berigan, "We'll Meet Again" by Vera Lynn, and "Mood Indigo" by Duke Ellington, all chosen for their timeless, haunting quality.
- The costumes worn by the hotel bellhops are inspired by bellhop attire that was common in Los Angeles hotels in the '20s and '30s: tunic, matching trousers and pillbox hat.
- A variety of artifacts fill the hotel lobby, all items "left behind" by guests who suddenly disappeared on that fateful Halloween day in 1939. Scattered on tables and chairs are a pair of dusty wine glasses, an unfinished postcard and a child's doll.
- Another item left behind in the lobby is a book, a vintage 1930s edition of L. Frank Baum's "The Wizard of Oz."
- Many of the props in the foyer, in the library itself, in the boiler room queue area and the "Modern Wonders" store front along the exit corridor are replicas that recall specific episodes of "The Twilight Zone" television series. Examples include a pair of broken spectacles representing "Time Enough at Last," a miniature spaceman from "The Invaders," and a devil-headed fortune-telling machine from "Nick of Time."
- An insider note for Tower of Terror cast members (not visible to guests) is the signature on the Elevator Inspection Certificate in the Tower of Terror ride vehicles: Cadwallader, the name the devil uses in "The Twilight Zone" episode "Escape Clause."
- The storefront for "Willoughby Travel" at the attraction's exit references the television episode "A Stop at Willoughby."
- In the library, guests watch a video about "The Twilight Zone" narrated by the voice of Rod Serling, the original narrator of the popular television program.
- "The Twilight Zone" television series originally ran for five years on CBS, from 1959 to 1964. Rod Serling, its creator and host, a six-time Emmy winner, wrote 92 of the original 156 episodes.

Sara Ford's 101 Visual Studio Tips in 55 Minutes Challenge
I honestly don't see much value in the whole "give X number of tips in X timeframe" videos, other than in a pure entertainment sense. The fact that we can read the tips in your powerpoint slides helps to ensure this whole stunt was not a wasted endeavor however, so thank you for that!
