![]() This is because of the limited heat gain and the EnergyStar® ratings on some models. As an example, installing a standard 14-inch solar tube in a room will cost approximately $250 for the kit, and installation will cost about $300, for a combined total of $550.Īs an added financial benefit, adding a solar tube can result in a 30 percent energy tax deduction. This totals about $400 to $1,000 for materials and installation. Costs will rise for larger models because rafters will have to be cut to accommodate them. If professional installation is chosen, the cost will be $250 to $300 for a 10- or 14-inch tube. A vent kit or daylight dimmer can be added as well. LED light kits can be added to use the diffuser as a traditional light at night. A basic solar tube materials kit costs between $153 and $425 depending on the size and features. On average, installing a solar tube will cost less than half as much. It is possible that the addition of a skylight will add to the resale value of the home, perhaps as much as $2,800 for a vented skylight, but a local realtor should be consulted. As an example, adding a 2 x 4-foot fixed skylight to a home will cost approximately $250 for the skylight kit, about $90 for the flashing kit, and about $1,200 for the installation, totaling $1,540. This adds up to an average cost of $650 to $1,900 for materials and installation. ![]() Installing the skylight will cost between $400 and $1,300 depending on the size and complexity of the roof. Add $100 or more in order to have a vented model operated by a remote control or wall switch. A basic skylight will start at $200 and increase with UV protection or other coatings. The more expensive of the two systems is the traditional skylight, mostly due to the more extensive installation required. The diffuser is then set into the ceiling without needing to do more than minimal interior finishing work. The dome is installed on the roof with the proper flashing, and the tube is extended from the dome to the room’s ceiling. The whole job can take as little as two hours but certainly no more than a half day. On the other hand, solar tube installation is much easier. For these reasons, installing a skylight is a task best left to a professional. The common perception is that skylights are prone to leaks, which usually occur because of improper installation. Even without cutting, the process will require careful work finishing the inside of the room and installing the flashing to prevent leaks. For most sizes, at least one rafter will have to be cut, requiring the rafters around it to be doubled. Installation is more difficult for the skylight because it requires more carpentry work than the installation of a solar tube. Therefore, they can only be used on the building’s highest floor. They can be 10-inch, 14-inch, or larger.īoth skylights and solar tubes shine light from above the home into the interior. An acrylic or polycarbonate dome installed on the home’s roof catches the sunlight, which is reflected down a rigid or flexible sheet metal tube in the attic before shining on the diffusing lens in the room’s ceiling. Solar tubes are also called sun tunnels, light tubes, and tubular skylights, but they are all structurally similar. Bigger is better when it comes to skylights, but the size should never exceed 15 percent of the square footage of the room below. Sizes can range from 12 x 12-inch squares to large rectangular areas. It is surrounded by the frame and connected to the roof by flashing, which helps prevent leaks. They are usually rectangular and consist of three main components. Skylights are glass, acrylic, or polycarbonate windows set into the roof of your home.

The original brown Tokai soft case is included, just like the original 1950’s Stratocaster cases. These pre lawsuit Tokai are getting harder and harder to find and are known for being just great players, and SRV was right for playing them. Great playability and spectacular Strat tones.

This is a lovely old Strat and a rarely seen model! Comes with hard to find Tokai case! Tokai Springy Sound ST-50 1979 - Sunburst. ![]() Luckily for you, my one is a lot cheaper ) And actually this is a higher-end model too than that particular guitar that was sold at auction. As this is a high end 2-piece centre-seam ST-65 is in excellent condition, having never been gigged or left the house! When I first got this guitar some years ago, the middle pick-up was dead, so I had Aaron Armstrong (yep, the great Dan Armstrong's grandson) re-wind the middle pickup. And he did a great job! Such a great job In fact, that the middle pick-up now sounded better than the other two! So I had him re-wind all 3 pickups! Consequently, this is a really great sounding Tokai Strat! One of SRV's guitars (from circa 1985) sold at auction back in 2004 for over 20k And that was nearly 20 years ago! So I can only guess it would fetch at least twice that if sold today. It is said that SRV owned around a dozen or so Tokai guitars, from 70's Strats through to the mid- 80's models. The Springy Sound was a pre-CBS Stratocaster reissue made in the Tokai Gakki factory Japan in the late 70s until the. ![]() Back in the early 1980's a certain music store in Japan sold these rare all maple Tokai ST-65 Strats as part of a "package deal" together with the Tokai "Woody" champ amp (I'm also selling the amp that came with it) I bought them together from the original owner some years ago, and it would be nice if they stayed together! And I'm happy to do a good deal on the pair in order to keep them together! However, I'll sell them separately if required. ![]() In a brisk, bracing 75 minutes, Framing Britney combs through the mountain of archival Britney material – coming of age just before the internet, she was a heavily documented star from the start – from her childhood in smalltown Kentwood, Louisiana, to the cascading highlights of her career: tinkering in the studio, the smash success of … Baby One More Time and Oops I Did It Again, mass fascination over her relationship with the ‘NSync boybander Justin Timberlake, marriage to backup dancer Kevin Federline, mass fascination with her fitness as a mother, breakdown. ![]() We just don’t often sit with the evidence – not this cohesively, not this viscerally.

The texture of this wood can seem or feel fuzzy at times. AspenĪspen is a light-colored wood that is easy to paint and stain. If you reside in a region where Ash trees are natural and numerous, you will have an easier time finding this wood than if you do not. Ashĭue to recent concerns with the Emerald Ash borer, an unwanted pest that has caused several of these trees to die prematurely, ash wood can be hard to come by. When sanded, alder wood has a quite smooth surface that can be easily painted. The wood also responds nicely to a wide range of finishing techniques. The grain of this medium-grade wood is straight, making it ideal for turning, carving, and machining. When freshly cut, alder seems practically white, but when exposed to light and air, it quickly develops a warm honey brown. Because it belongs to the very same family as the birch tree, it has many of the same uses. It’s more common in California’s northwest and southwestern regions, as well as Canada’s southwest. Alder Woodĭue to its inherent beauty, machinability, and diversity, alder is a hardwood that is steadily gaining appeal. We’ll go through the most popular woods you’ll come across in construction and carpentry in this part. There are thousands of kinds and species of wood, even though there are only three primary types. Is wood a sustainable building material.How can I protect wood from decay and pests?.How is wood processed for various applications?.As always all the cabs seen are up for grabs!

Olympus where the Greek Gods dwell, this stone type is always so dramatic… These are the lovely Biggs cabs I currently have:Ī couple past creations using Picture Jasper~Īnother recognizable picture jasper is Palomino Jasper. These cool tones are rich and deep in saturation. It will usually have cool tones to it, either towards the top of where a stone is most often cut to mimic the sky, or throughout all the colouring. Biggs Blue Jasper, especially old stock, is beautiful. They’ll look like little sprigs of dark grass amongst the hills in the stone. This type will usually have little dark dendrite (plant fossil) like blemishes. I have no examples of Deschutes, in all honesty it isn’t one of my favourites because I’ve only seen them with a full brown spectrum instead of the gray/blue for sky. There are two more sought after types that are easier to identify. I’m not an expert or lapidary artist, the lines between these different jasper types blur pretty easily.

![]() That’s pretty good for a beefy tech binding, with heel-spring-shock feature and overall “freeride” strength. Thus, if you remove both the toe indexer and the brake, you end up the non-demo retail ION binding weighing about (need to verify retail version) 17.5 ounces. Punch out a pin, pry a few things off with a screwdriver, wriggle out the brake arms, and you’ve hacked off 3.4 ounces, 100 grams.ģ. ION is easily de-braked (Dynafit Radical FT and ST are not). This is not exactly an award winner in the gram trimming mod contest, but as any weight weenie knows, it all adds up…Ģ. More, with ice or packed snow it can actually get in the way of clipping in. The boot toe indexing “stepper inner” unit on the ION is a good idea, but doesn’t always help and is unnecessary if you’re used to tech bindings. Those of you who are weight fixated should consider the below.ġ. ![]() Thus, you’ll purchase by reputation and perhaps nation or brand loyalty. Some of you will opine that’s a trivial weight difference from the “other brand,” especially when you consider the Dynafit ST Radical, which ends up being virtually the same weight (as mentioned above). (I’ll add the screw weights back in eventually, away from workshop at this time.) Our pre-production NON-demo-version ION binding weighs the following with NO screws: ION toe: 6.1 ounces, 172 grams, ION heel with 105mm brake: 14.8 ounces, 420 grams, Total pre-production non-demo ION 20.9 ounces, 592 grams. I suspect it’ll be similar, though we won’t be surprised if it gains a few grams. The Radical binding gets a revamp for 2014/15 with production weight an unknown at this time. One production Dynafit 2013/14 ST Radical (sitting here on my workbench in a bag) with 100 mm brake and screws weighs 20.5 ounces or 584 grams with screws move up to the FT and discard the connector plate, weight is virtually the same. G3 should win a prize for that feature alone. Isn’t it weird that other brands don’t do this? So elegant. Just keep your pozi drive stuff every screw and threaded part on ION works with a #3 Pozi. Anton don’t have room for even a single screw driver.Įver think your repair kit is too heavy? Or you can’t fit it in your tiny Gucci freeride rucksack? If you go with ION throw out a few driver bits. This feature is hyper plus for backcountry skiers how important it is for freeride is an open question. Benefit of the doubt due to COVID.Note the pozi screw adjustment for everything. I'm waiting a bit longer and then will give them one more chance to reply before totally writing them off though. Very long story slightly shortened is they still sent me the bindings and charged me for them and have been a pain in the ass to get ahold of to return. They replied that it was out of stock/backordered so I tried to cancel the order and just bought a pair from a local shop and got them mounted. I was getting the second pair to mount this year and initially ordered from G3. G3 apparently fixed that and I have had no durability issues yet (both pairs were made since the design was changed).ĮDIT: I will say their customer service seems less than ideal. The first generation had issues with the heel turret breaking. Haven't used crampons with them so I can't speak to that but I'm pretty sure, like the other commenter said, that there is a decent bit of room under my Scarpas. I'm pretty sure it's a function of the gapless binding tech. I guess it would depend on what you're used to though. ![]() I don't personally feel that any movement that may occur with the heel risers makes much of a difference. I ski one pair without brakes and one with but I have been meaning to take the brakes off those as well I have ~50-60 days between two pairs of the bindings (on different pairs of skis) and they seem like great bindings. ![]() ![]() And it has largely been the case at Microsoft, where in 2014, the personable cloud exec Satya Nadella became the company's third CEO after the much brasher Steve Ballmer and the eager-eyed, if hot-headed, cofounder Bill Gates. It was most obviously the case at Apple in 2011, when, in the wake of Steve Jobs' death, the more mild-mannered Tim Cook, then the chief operating officer, stepped into the spotlight. The transfer of power from a visionary and sometimes eccentric founder to the most trusted and more down-to-earth deputy is familiar in tech. Will he leave a legacy marked by cultural transformation, where Amazon really does become " Earth's best employer," or will he replicate the actions of his predecessor and continue to innovate in the pursuit of greater market share, no matter the cost? Imaginations and realities But as Bezos steps back, the Amazon Jassy inherits is becoming known for its controversies - allegations of gender discrimination, tough working conditions, and monopolistic policies toward merchants - as much as its successes.Īll of which puts Jassy, the incoming CEO, at a crossroads. With a market cap of $1.7 trillion and a revenue relationship with an estimated 82% of American households, the company has an undeniable presence in daily life. No one doubts Amazon's commercial success. "He will be an outstanding leader, and he has my full confidence." "Andy is well-known inside the company and has been at Amazon almost as long as I have," Bezos wrote. Jassy, a member of AWS's founding team in 2003, was appointed to be its CEO in 2016. While AWS generates just 13% of the company's sales, it accounted for 60% of Amazon's profits last year.

Montreal has their own (also truly excellent) signature style. No, the bagel that we know and love today belongs deep in the veins of New Yorkers and Jews. The Polish and Eastern European bagels they were based on were much smaller and harder - and they definitely never put lox or a schmear of cream cheese on their bagel, as New Yorkers started to do in the following decades. A lox and egg sandwich from High Street on Hudson. It was cheap, it was reminiscent of their old country, but it was uniquely New York. The bagels were looped and stacked onto sticks and carried through the streets of the Lower East Side, selling out quickly. ![]() And they were all so obsessed with bagels, that the bagel bakers became unionized, with almost 300 bakers represented and coveted membership passing only through the sons of current members. When my great-grandfather escaped Russia by leaving behind everything he knew to come on a boat to New York at the age of 12, he was met by a teeming population of like-minded Jews. On the contrary, it is an ode to the hard-working bakers who have taken their bagel knowledge (learned mostly from New York) and flung it further afield so that more people can experience the pure joy of a top-notch bagel. If you actually read past the headline, you might notice that the article itself isn't actually about ranking bagels. Takeout from the Upper East Side Russ and Daughters Café on a picnic table in Central Park: bagels, bialy, whitefish salad and their incomparable Hot Smoke/Cold Smoke salmon. Obviously, as someone who loves her local bagels, I was offended on behalf of my beloved city but as the headline kept glaring out at me across my social media feeds, it started to irk me for different reasons. As a Jewish woman living in New York, I couldn't even count how many people sent the article to me (usually accompanied by a lot of choice expletives). Now is probably not the time to pit restaurants against each other … one would think.īut then, on Monday, The New York Times published an article by California restaurant critic Tejal Rao with a headline that declared, “The Best Bagels are In California (Sorry New York)," and the internet lost its collective mind.

And rollers are a dying breed.It’s not like there’s a school for bagel rollers,” he says standing over one of his employees, Henry, who has perfected the art of bagel rolling during his 27 years at the bakery. “It’s the rolling that really keeps it soft. A machine, he explains, pumps the dough over and over again, tightening it up. Spellman attributes his shop’s notoriety to two things: Having skilled workers make bagels by hand, and keeping everything - from the ingredients, to the kettle, to the oven, to the baking techniques - the same as they were 40 years ago when the shop first opened.Īnother element that Spellman believes is absolutely necessary to making a good bagel is hand-rolling the dough, versus having a machine create the round shape. It’s those techniques that make our bagels what they are.” The wildly popular Queens, NY shop is famous for its fresh bagels with soft, airy dough and a crisp crust. “Those are the things that are not talked enough about. It’s how much water you put in, it’s how much, when you proof, you let in the air,” Spellman says. “If water was the main thing that happened to a bagel that makes it great, there are about five bagel stores around my store here - they would make as good of a bagel as we make,” says Utopia Bagel shop co-owner Scott Spellman on the myth that New York City water is what gives its bagels the reputation as the best in the country. ![]() IL-4 inhibits TGF-beta-induced Foxp3+ T cells and, together with TGF-beta, generates IL-9+ IL-10+ Foxp3(-) effector T cells. ĭardalhon V, Awasthi A, Kwon H, Galileos G, Gao W, Sobel RA, Mitsdoerffer M, Strom TB, Elyaman W, Ho IC, Khoury S, Oukka M, Kuchroo VK. liver via pathways of fatty acid metabolism.

( Japanese: 死ね!, Hepburn: Shine! ) as he carried out the attack. The police believed that the gasoline dispersed on site mixed with the air, causing the explosion at the start. The perpetrator bought the gasoline 10 km (6.2 mi) away from the building, and it was believed that he walked to the building with the gasoline being carried on a platform trolley. (01:31 UTC) when the perpetrator walked into Studio 1 and set the building on fire with 40 litres (8.8 imp gal 11 US gal) of gasoline. The fire began with an explosion at around 10:31 a.m. After the National Police Agency were informed of these threats in October 2018, they temporarily patrolled the head office at the time. Company president Hideaki Hatta said they did not know if the threats were related to the incident, as they were sent anonymously, but he had informed police and lawyers of them. In the year leading up to the attack, Kyoto Animation had received over 200 death threats. The building was used mainly by the animation production staff, and was constructed in 2007. Their merchandise development division is in Uji, one train station away from Studio 1. It has several different locations in Kyoto: Studio 1 (in Fushimi ward) Studio 2 (the head office), and Studio 5. Kyoto Animation is one of Japan's most acclaimed anime studios, known for titles such as The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, K-On! and Clannad. As a result of the incident, some works and collaborations by the studio were delayed, and several events were suspended or cancelled.īackground Studio 1 prior to the arson attack, May 2015 A special measure was passed by the National Diet to allow for donations to the studio to be tax-exempt. In addition to condolences and messages of support from national and international leaders, fans and businesses raised over ¥3.3 billion ( US$30.27 million) in Japan and over US$2.3 million internationally to help the studio and its employees recover. Aoba eventually pled guilty to the charges on 5 September 2023. After awaiting his recovery from life-threatening burns for more than ten months, the police arrested 42-year-old Shinji Aoba on suspicion of murder and other offenses on, and he was formally indicted on 16 December 2020. Witnesses stated they heard him accusing the studio of plagiarism. After setting himself on fire while lighting the fuel, the suspect attempted to flee, but was apprehended by police about 100 metres (330 ft) from the building. The suspect, who did not work for the studio, entered the front door carrying about 40 litres (8.8 imp gal 11 US gal) of gasoline, then doused the area and several employees before igniting it. It is one of the deadliest massacres in Japan since the end of World War II, the deadliest building fire in Japan since the 2001 Myojo 56 building fire, and the first massacre ever to have occurred at a studio associated with an entertainment company, and the animation industry.
