This company is amazing and I will hands down use them when it is time for a service. Long story short I send it in, and they said they don’t recommend servicing. I do find it odd that they aren’t listed as a service center on the Rolex website, but they are an AD, and the Rolex service card was my selling point. So I contacted the jeweler to confirm this and sure enough, they even said that Rolex provided the equipment for the watchmaker. In the video he was given the green pouch, and an official Rolex international service warranty card. I came across a video on YouTube where someone had a Rolex serviced by Fink’s jewelers in Raleigh, NC by an in-house Rolex trained tech.

![]() Among solid hardwoods, domestic species like white oak, red oak, walnut, and maple are growing in popularity, says Brett Miller, a spokesperson for the National Wood Flooring Association. Sustainable flooring options include linoleum, bamboo, hempwood, cork, and even cement tiles made with carbon recovered from factory emissions. High-end vinyl planks can imitate tropical woods like koa, mango, and teak, or wide, hand-hewn hardwood boards. For example, today’s porcelain tile can closely mimic the look and texture of wood, though it’s far more durable. Laminate floors, which can mimic the look and properties of many materials, can work almost anywhere-as long as you like the look.Īdvances in flooring materials have broadened options at a range of prices. Solid hardwood and engineered wood floors add warmth and "give" to hangout and lounging areas, such as bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, and dens. ![]() Porcelain tile suits rooms where things get busy, wet, and messy, like entries, mudrooms, playrooms, and baths. This gives us insight into what can happen to a section of flooring that gets more sunlight than the rest of a room over time.When choosing new flooring for your home, remember that each type-from hardwood to vinyl-has its place. ![]() We also evaluate the potential for fading by exposing part of a sample of flooring to UV rays for two weeks straight, then comparing the exposed portion with an unexposed portion. The more a product swells, deforms, softens, or delaminates, the lower its water-resistance score. ![]() Then, we take another sample of the same flooring and completely submerge it in a bucket of water, again letting it remain overnight. First, we spill water on a flooring sample’s surface and allow it to sit overnight. The higher the drop before damage becomes evident, the better a floor’s dent-resistance rating.Ī floor’s water resistance is key, and manufacturers are continually trying to improve their products’ impermeability. Our testers drop the weights from progressively higher points, examining the flooring for visible denting after each drop. To test a floor’s resistance to denting, we drop a heavy, blunt weight that has the same impact as a large can of tomatoes, plus objects that are smaller, lighter, and pointier that serve as proxies for kitchen utensils. We test wear resistance by subjecting a 6圆-inch sample of each flooring material to an abrasion machine fitted with a fine sandpaper disc, periodically assessing each sample for signs of visible wear. For more flooring options, check out our full flooring ratings, and give our flooring buying guide a read before you hit the stores. You can also learn more about how we test flooring and in what instances you should hire a professional. Scroll further to read the ratings and reviews of the best flooring in prefinished solid wood, engineered wood, laminate, vinyl, and porcelain tile, based on our lab tests of more than 50 products. Keep in mind that the darkest floors, in particular, could fade more noticeably given routine sun exposure. We test only one color of each product siblings in different colors should perform similarly to the tested product for resistance to foot traffic, scratches, stains, and dents. “Luckily, these are now available in many styles, including some that simulate hardwood.” “Choices like tile or vinyl would be better” for a kitchen, Ciufo says. In a kitchen, for instance, think twice about a hardwood floor that may stain, nick, scratch, or dent from falling food or utensils, or may even warp or crack from large water spills. You’ll get the best flooring for a given area if you pick a material based on the activities that will happen there, says Larry Ciufo, the test engineer who evaluates flooring for Consumer Reports. ![]() 2023 Amazon’s bustling sale section is overflowing with must-have deals that’ll take the strain out of holiday shopping, so act fast to score these discounts. Emiliano Rodríguez Mega, New York Times, 30 Oct. 2023 Five plastic crates and one table overflowed with medicine boxes and bottles, but there were no doctors to prescribe them. 2023 Soon after, residents said the flooding began: During rainstorms, the new highway drainage pipes funneled water from the elevated road down towards Shiloh properties, overflowing a retention pond that builders had dug to hold the flood water. ![]() 2023 And last year, scarred by those experiences, shops made the mistake of over-ordering merchandise-sending their shelves overflowing and forcing them to sell goods at margin-eroding discounts. 2023 The celebratory tour made its next stop in a corner of the stadium overflowing with jubilant Bruins fans who chanted a vulgar two-word sendoff for fellow rivals headed to the Big Ten. 2023 Life has countless black holes, and only overflowing love can fill these voids. 2023 Fire and ice, rivers of mud destruction from the skies, emotions overflowing on the ground. exaggerated turns of speech conceal mediocre affections: as if the fulness of the soul might not sometimes overflow in the emptiest of metaphors, since no one, ever, can give the exact measurements of his needs, nor of his conceptions, nor of his sufferings, and the human word is like a cracked cauldron upon which we beat out melodies fit for making bears dance when we are trying to move the stars to pity.Verb Shelters and homes have overflowed, and many people have been sleeping in tents or in the streets. We had two large cooler trailers deployed to assist the Medical Examiner offices to assist with their overflow. Let the coming hour overflow with joy, and let pleasure drown the brim. In Louisiana, Danny Lavergne, director of Cameron Parish's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, said approximately 30 roads in the parish were covered with water but remained passable by Monday morning. The flooding was so widespread that the levels of city waterways have either equaled or surpassed those of Tropical Storm Allison from 2001, and no major highway has been spared some overflow.The city's normally bustling business district was virtually deserted Monday, with emergency vehicles making up most of the traffic. The KHOU report was attributed to three family members the station did not identify. In addition, a Houston television station reported Monday that six family members were believed to have drowned when their van was swept away by floodwaters. Harvey has been blamed for at least five confirmed deaths, including a woman killed Monday in the town of Porter, northeast of Houston, when a large oak tree dislodged by heavy rains toppled onto her trailer home. ![]() An emergency response official in a coastal Louisiana parish said the threat of flooding from Harvey's torrential rains could be new ground for us. ![]() Flooding has already taken over localized streets since Sunday, The Weather Channel reported. Flash floods warnings went into effect through Thursday as areas along the coast faced tropical storm warnings. Southwestern Louisiana could get 15-20 inches of rain from Harvey. Allow your heart to overflow with gratitude, and so, fill the world with Love. ![]() Two of the biggest selling points to Premiere Pro have been its native camera support (and its ability to handle many of those different camera formats) and the Mercury Playback Engine. Native Camera Support and Mercury Playback This new version is a very nice upgrade that makes some significant improvements over the last version in several key areas. People are still talking about Premiere Pro CS6, which I'll focus on for this review. The entire Adobe Creative Suite has also had impressive upgrades, which will be good news to Adobe fans that are getting used to using a number of Adobe applications that complement and interact with each other. It was a hot topic at NAB 2012, certainly, and Adobe’s booth was full of people taking in demos and asking questions. It’s really no harder than that.Everyone has been talking about Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 recently. But basically I think that if you can ride a bike, you can learn to edit magnetically. Having the choice, I now find myself working “magnetically” nearly always. However, if you decide to spread your work out and “scratch pad” elements in time without magnetism, a keystroke puts you in “position” mode and you can do that. When your goal is quick assembly or rapid scene re-ordering – or if you’ve built complex connected-clip relationships and want to move them as a single unit – magnetism rocks. For most of us, the moment you “get it” it just becomes a normal part of your life. Pretty much everyone has to learn bike riding through a bit of practice. I think the magnetic timeline is the editing equivalent of a bicycle. ![]() Clients will enjoy not having to wait for you to do multiple replace edits, or undo/redo over and over, or turn clips on and off repeatedly. This way we can Audition several different versions of an edit quickly, easily and save a lot of time. As we chose a specific asset it takes that place in the Timeline. We can place several assets in one place in our Timeline, then open the Auditions window to scroll between each asset. Unless you purposefully move it out of sync.Īn amazing new feature is called Auditions. With this Story Line and Connected Clips paradigm, nothing can possibly go out of sync, ever, at all. It's a new way to work, and some editors are finding it very comfortable. This makes for a more compact and easy to work with Timeline. If a Connected clip is deleted or moved, other Connected clips above automatically come down to fill in the gap. These Connect to specific clips inside the Story Line. Everything else will be cutaways, text, composites, sound effects, music, etc. FCPX assumes that your core story telling media is in the Story Line. Otherwise they are timed by In points.) Connect edits are another new concept. Using the Shift key along with the edit keys will back-time clips. (These are traditional three point edits. If you can remember Q, W, E, you're pretty much there. All of these elements act and look like tracks, but are much more dynamic, intelligent and easier to deal with.Įditing has been simplified with Append, Insert, Connect, Overwrite, and Replace commands, and very simple keyboard shortcuts. It also makes replace edits for filling them in very easy. A Gap Clip is a slug that we can ripple and roll with neighboring clips. This Story Line has unique characteristics, such as there can be no empty spaces this is handled by Gap Clips. There are no blatant "tracks," but we do have a track-like structure. Sorry in advance if I seems to be lazy, but I'm going to quote a couple of guy who explained it extremely well: But I can say that my rendering in Adobe Premiere Pro is pretty quick (I'm on a Windows i7 quad core 2.2 ghz with 16gb ram). Thought I heard it didn't, but they seemed to be doing a lot of updates, so maybe that's been added.īack to original post, which was about speed and rendering. Not sure if FCPX supports exporting out audio for editing. You get Premiere Pro, Audition, After Effects, SpeedGrade, Photoshop, just to name a few. I've been on it for a few months now - everything runs smooth, no problems. Anyone interested in Adobe should definitely check out creative cloud. You get 15-20 different Adobe programs.all for $50/month.$30 if you're a student or teacher. ![]() ![]() Adobe's Creative Cloud is an insanely good deal. Is this the case for you? Is it quicker? Somehow a better flow for creative editing? Would be interested in your thoughts and experiences about is right. But then I didn't really hear anything like that from the users. I remember hearing that FCPX was supposed to "transform the way we edit.making it quicker.and more in line with creative decisions/flow". ![]() Remember Contra? If you do then you also very likely remember the muscled gun-toting greatness of Stallone, Schwarzenegger, and Mr. As soothing as it is, it’s also quite sad if you really think about it. In a way, it’s a rare gem as a 21st century Duke Nukem game with much originality and personality. Each segment requires the player to save a woman strapped to a GLOPP bomb and locate a colored keycard that will unlock the path to the next. The game is divided into eight chapters, each with three parts. Notice a single thing out of place for a Duke Nukem shoot ‘em up? I don’t either. Metamorphic alligators, huge insects, and even the iconic Pig Cop from Duke Nukem 3D are among the foes. to transform creatures into dangerous monsters. This time, he's up against Mech Morphix, a mad scientist who is trying to take over Manhattan Island, New York City, by utilizing a radioactive slime called G.L.O.P.P. This was a rather glorious detour of his before he eventually had to face disgrace because of Duke Nukem Forever.

Shalhoub has also received numerous accolades for his role, including three Primetime Emmy Awards for his portrayal of Adrian Monk in “Monk.” The movie revival is no different. Those small, quiet movements spoke volumes about his character’s anxiety and become as intrinsic to the role as his lines. So was very rarely focused on just one thing.” "And then we’d try to fold that into the actual scene that was written. “What we would normally do in any given episode - the actors, the directors, the set designer and props people - we would sort of look for something in that particular setting that could preoccupy the character," he explained. Steve Wilkie / PeacockĪnyone who has seen a few episodes of "Monk" knows that the curious character can’t step into a room without adjusting a stack of papers until they’re straight, touching a lightbulb (even if he means burning his finger), or straightening someone else’s necktie. “Those were things that we developed over time,” Shalhoub said. Shalhoub thoughtfully approached Monk’s evolution as a widowed detective struggling with OCD, including his physical movements that became a defining feature of his character. “How do you capture the physical life of the character? I was thinking ‘wow, maybe even my voice has changed somewhat as I’ve gotten older.’ But I’ve gotta say, by the end of the first day, we were all back in the groove.” “It was a little challenging in the beginning,” he said.

And now, finally, the original Flux model will be discontinued, likely as making way for the Flux S. I say June, because that’s when most of the changes were incorporated into the product line. Even after that clarification it can remain confusing, as a 2018 Flux 1 manufactured in January will vary in comparison to one made in June 2018. As there’s actually a substantial difference internally between an original ‘2016 Flux 1’, and a new 2018 Flux 1. See, when I use the term ‘2018 Flux 1’, that in itself is confusing. As a Facebook relationship status might say: It’s complicated. But is it really that simple? Not entirely.
