As you can see from this photo, Richard is happy with them, too.Q: Over the 20 years we've had our older home, we have needed to replace most of the appliances and have gone from white to stainless steel. It’s like my friend at the wine store recommending an inexpensive bottle: “It’s very good for the money.” The color and looks so good (for what it is), I simply never even notice. But I never, ever think about it since I finished the job. You can still see some texture through it, even thought I primed with two coats of Zinser’s to knock the texture back a bit. The paint merely changes the refrigerator’s color. ![]() The appliances are not big black eye magnets anymore, but basically complement the bland gray cabinets in their value. I probably would not recommend it if you have white appliances. The paint is not magic! The paint basically changes the color and value of your appliances. $6000, well, you see where I’m coming from!Ĭaution: YMMV (Your Milage May Vary). And so I was approved to paint the dishwasher, and the big black refrigerator.Īgain: If I could afford to just go out any buy real stainless steel appliances with no concern for how long I would have them, I would’ve done that. But when the compacter was finished, he was completely won over. He came out for a coffee, rolled his eyes and shook his head. ![]() I followed the instructions to a T and I was meticulous with my masking tape. I chose to do only the compactor (because we said we would get rid of it anyway when we tear out the old island). And the next Saturday morning I was off to the races, while he was doing dictation on the computer. The paint arrived, unmarked, unremarked upon. Let me say that ‘refinishing the appliances’ was something I snuck past Richard in passing, oh, so very lightly, that it barely registered on him. 150 years old (original) they're on my list when we renovate the whole shebang. I was completely skeptical of “stainless steel paint.”īut at less than $60 I could afford to give it the benefit of the doubt, and give it a test.ĭishwasher and compactor, updated. I fuss over the details of my home, and would not ever want to live with something tacky. I work each and every day at my job to make things that live online as beautiful and well designed as I possibly can. I would like to preface what I say next with the following: I am a creative director in real life. Some folks had painted their formica countertop with a stainless steel finish. “Can I paint them?” The Google-verse said “yes” with definate caveats. And yes, I was doing some very creative Googling on the topic. I wanted to change the look of the countertops, not replace them. That is actually what turned me down the “appliance makeover” path. ![]() I’d have to live with the dishwasher, refrigerator and compactor for the next few years.Īnd of course the white formica countertops are a problem too. So even a short term replacement was out of the question. I wanted a contemporary stainless steel appliances, but in a few years, when we do the big kitchen renovation there’s no guarantee that stainless will still be the trend.

Tasting Notes (59) Pro Reviews (10) Wine Definition Community Tasting Notes (47) Avg Score: 93.1 points Newest Note Display Settings Options - Antz49 Likes this wine: 95 Points Achet directement chez Opus One en voyage. A blend of all five Bordeaux varieties, the icon wine consists of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot. In the 1990s, Opus One became the California cult wine to be widely sold in Asia and Europe. The first vintage from this block was released in 1985 and soon the estate built the large limestone winery in Oakville that has become an icon of the Napa Valley. In 1980, Mondavi sold 35 acres from his To Kalon Vineyard in the Oakville AVA to the joint venture that would serve as the backbone for the blend. The joint venture between Mondavi and Baron Rothschild was announced in 1980, though plans for the winery had been developing between the two men since the early 1970s. On the palate, the wine is bold and full-bodied with flavors of plum, blackberry, and blueberry followed by hints of vanilla and cocoa. The genesis of Opus One wine can be traced to 1970 at the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel on the Big Island of Hawaii where Robert Mondavi and Baron Philippe de Rothschild met for the very first time and began their collaboration to merge old world and new world wine styles into one grand opus. In 1989 a new winery was built just down the road, the first vintage from the new winery was from 1991 and was released in 1994. ![]() For a while it was the most expensive Californian wine costing 50 USD. The first vintage, 1979 was released in 1984 at the same time as the 1980 vintage. The creation of this winery venture in 1980 was big news in the wine industry de Rothschild's involvement added an air of respectability to the burgeoning Napa wine region. It is located across State Route 29 from the Robert Mondavi Winery. The winery was founded as a joint venture between Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Château Mouton Rothschild and Robert Mondavi to create a single Bordeaux style blend based upon Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine was called napamedoc until 1982 when it was named Opus One. Dark, sumptuous and voluptuous in the glass, with no hard edges, the 2015 captures all the essence of the vintage while retaining a good bit of aromatic. Cabernet Sauvignon lends itself particularly well in blends with Merlot. Without doubt Opus One is one of California's most high profile wines, as well as being one of its best. With a custom designed label or engraving, the 2015 Opus One Cabernet Sauvignon Blend makes a memorable gift for wine lovers.Opus One Winery is a winery in Oakville, California, USA. Opus One is a blend of 95 Cabernet Sauvignon and is aged for 18 months in French barrels (100 new) and then another 18 months in bottle before it is released. Silky, fine-grained tannins lead to a rich, lingering finish that promises longevity in the cellar. On the palate, the wine is bold and full-bodied with flavors of plum, blackberry, and blueberry followed by hints of vanilla and cocoa. In the glass, the wine displays intense aromas of blackberry pie and cherry preserves interwoven with hints of violet, black tea, and sage. ![]() The freshness and soft glow of acidity create a subtle tension with dark fruit avors, savory. After its debut in 1979, Opus One quickly rose to cult status, and to this day it remains one of the most profound and sought-after wines produced in the United States.Ĭomprised of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon with dollops of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec rounding out the blend, the 2015 Opus One Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend is truly an iron fist in a velvet glove, delivering a powerhouse of flavor and structure wrapped in a seductively plush texture. 98 JS Be the first to review this product Wine Critic Reviews for 2015 Opus One Purity and brilliance on the nose with so much currant and flower character.

But with the latest melee weapon introduced DE showed another way to fit Umbra mods (additional 10 levels). Makes sense to have more Umbras by the time this content arrives. On one hand, there's gameplay, where Umbra has unique polarities that will be useful in future content. ![]() During the quest (as well as on pre-update page) Excalibur Umbra is called just "Umbra". Long ago DE stated Umbra was going to be a line of warframes. Since its a limited run as previously stated, having the orgional roster get the Umbra treatment is the way to do it.Īs much as some people think its justa random number DE likes to drop hints like that.

The devs said if they are to do more, its going to be a limited run so only a select number of frames will get it. Play the quest and find out but hes the only Umbra frame.

This word is a reference to the Attabiya district of Baghdad, noted for its striped cloth and silk itself named after the Umayyad Governor of Mecca Attab ibn Asid. The English term tabby originally referred to "striped silk taffeta," from the French word tabis, meaning "a rich watered silk." This can be further traced to the Middle French atabis (14th century), which stemmed from the Arabic term عتابية / ʿattābiyya. Etymology A 19th-century drawing of a tabby cat One genetic study of domestic cats found at least five founders. The tabby pattern occurs naturally and is connected both to the coat of the domestic cat's direct ancestor and to those of their close relatives: the African wildcat ( Felis lybica lybica), the European wildcat ( Felis silvestris) and the Asiatic wildcat ( Felis lybica ornata), all of which have similar coats, both by pattern and coloration. The tabby pattern is found in many official cat breeds and is a hallmark of the landrace extremely common among the general population of cats around the world. "Tabby" is not a breed of cat, but a coat type seen in almost all genetic lines of domestic cats, regardless of breed. It is thought that the tabby pattern originates from the numerous related species of wildcat.Ī tabby is any domestic cat ( Felis catus) with a distinctive 'M'-shaped marking on its forehead stripes by its eyes and across its cheeks, along its back, and around its legs and tail and (differing by tabby type), characteristic striped, dotted, lined, flecked, banded, or swirled patterns on the body-neck, shoulders, sides, flanks, chest, and abdomen. Mackerel tabby, with the distinctive striped pattern and forehead 'M' A European wildcat ( Felis silvestris) bearing a similar coat pattern to that of a tabby cat. ![]() For other uses, see Tabby (disambiguation). ![]() ![]() ![]() But lucky for us, Rush gave us more than just a great bass. The groovy bass line is absolute perfection and enough to leave anyone wanting more. In a world of three-chord heavy rock, the group’s real peers are likely in the arena of fusion jazz, although their roots are early-to-mid-’70s Led Zeppelin and post-psychedelic “prog-rock.” And although the band stopped large scale touring in 2015 – they haven’t ruled out the possibility of future studio albums and smaller-scale tours, to the collective relief of their legions of fans – Rush’s legacy as a true game-changing rock band lives on.In honor of Live365 securing Canadian music licensing last week, we decided to do a "Top 10" for one of the greatest bands to ever come out of the Great White North - RUSH!Įven though they have their tree "facts" slightly mixed up, "The Trees" made this Top 10 list because it's just that great. Musically, Rush has always been an enigma. In 2015 the band’s charitable work was recognized as they were bestowed the Allan Waters Humanitarian Award. From playing disaster-relief benefit concerts to making generous donations to the United Way and AIDS research, Rush have decades of philanthropy to their name. Instead, the band devotes a great deal of time, energy and money to a wide array of charitable efforts. Perhaps the most intriguing accolade that has been bestowed upon this trio was the declaration in 1993 by Harvard Lampoon, the world’s oldest humor magazine, that the members of Rush were the “Musicians of the Millennium.”ĭespite all the acclaim, the members of Rush have displayed a remarkable capacity to keep their lives private, completely avoiding the typical scandals, rumors and innuendo that invariably follow too many celebrities. Individually, the members are perennial winners of readers’ polls in magazines such as Modern Drummer, Guitar Player and Playboy, among others. Rush has clearly influenced innumerable artists – Primus, Queensryche and Smashing Pumpkins to name just a few. The band’s latest studio album, Clockwork Angels (2012) won the Album Of The Year Award from the Progressive Music Awards. Since then, Rush has shown a phenomenal propensity for both national and international success, recognition, awards, sold-out shows, and silver, gold and platinum certifications.Īfter a foray into synthesizer-laden music in the’80s, Rush returned to a guitar-driven hard rock sound in the early 1990s, which has continued to the present. That approach didn’t come until 1980 with the release of Permanent Waves, which featured reggae and new wave overtures, as well as shorter, radio-friendly hits, including, “The Spirit of the Radio” and “Freewill.” There was no looking back. ![]() Not exactly buzzwords for their record label, which was urging Rush to explore more accessible, commercially friendly music. ![]() The following two albums grew even more intricate and obscure. ![]() It was the band’s first taste of commercial success and their first platinum album in Canada. The breakthrough south of the border was solidified in 1976 with the album, 2112. The album’s song, “Working Man” was the band’s first break-out hit in the U.S. It soon became the biggest selling debut from any Canadian band and brought with it the first of dozens of JUNO Award nominations. In 1974, Rush released its first (self-titled) album. The band members are perfectionists who share a strong work ethic, and they continually strive to accurately recreate songs from their albums in their live performances. Regardless of sound experimentation – or perhaps because of it – Rush has amassed a hard-core following of fans, due in large part to their concerts. The band’s musical style has morphed several times over the years, from a blues-inspired hard rock beginning, later moving into progressive rock, and including a period marked by heavy use of synthesizers. Each member has been acknowledged as one of the most proficient players on their respective instruments, and each has won countless awards in magazine readers’ polls. The group formed in 1968 in Toronto and went through several reconfigurations before locking down its current line-up in 1974: bassist, keyboardist and lead vocalist Geddy Lee guitarist and backing vocalist Alex Lifeson and drummer, percussionist and lyricist Neil Peart. ![]() ![]() ![]() Happy Friday!!

Happiness in a choice and it starts coming your way the moment you decide to take responsibility for your own thoughts, your own beliefs, actions, and behaviors.

We are the ones who perceive things as being one way or another. Is the world we are living in a hostile or happy place? I guess it all depends on who you are asking but if you really think about it, the world is neither happy or unhappy, neither good nor bad, and just like William Shakespeare said “there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong. ***links below to a brilliant short video and additional resources from The Conscious Leadership Group #consciousleadership #emotionalintelligence #leadership #culture #leadershipdevelopment Recognizing where you are is the fundamental skill of conscious leadership.ġ) Above the line thinking is about being open and curiousĢ) It’s being able to respond effectively and usefully in any given situationģ) It’s about starting with an intention and then working out how you can actually bring it into playĢ️⃣How can I accept what's happening without blaming someone else?ģ️⃣Where I can take ownership& accountability?

You can turn this off by an option in the MOBI Output settings. When converting to MOBI, calibre detects the metadata ToC in the input document and generates an end-of-file ToC in the output MOBI file. One can be accessed directly from the Kindle’s menus, the other cannot. Remember that one is semantically a content ToC and the other is a metadata ToC, even though both might have exactly the same entries and look the same. ![]() Now it might well seem to you that the MOBI book has two identical ToCs. When you click Goto Table of Contents on your Kindle, it is to this extra content ToC that the Kindle takes you. A MOBI book simulates the presence of a metadata ToC by putting an extra content ToC at the end of the book. This is because the MOBI format, alone amongst mainstream e-book formats, does not have decent support for a metadata ToC. In the MOBI format, the situation is a little confused. How it is represented is up to the viewer program. This ToC cannot be styled by the book creator. For example, in the calibre E-book viewer, you use the Show Table of Contents button to see this ToC. A metadata ToC is a ToC that is not part of the book text and is typically accessed by some special button on a reader. This Table of Contents is part of the main document flow and can be styled however you like. One is the traditional Table of Contents, like the ToC you find in paper books.
