Kyoto Travel Guide
Kyoto was the capital of Japan for over a thousand years, leaving it with a ridiculous number of historic sites. Among the hundreds within the city limits, 14 are inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage list and when you add in the surrounding cities, that number grows to 17. One problem: the sites are very spread out and, unlike the rest of Japan, Kyoto's rail and subway network is not always all that useful for sightseeing. You'll have to rely on buses and will likely waste a lot of time sitting at various red lights. Accommodation can get expensive as well, but you can actually save quite a bit by staying in nearby Osaka instead.
From mid June to July, the rainy season brings overcast skies to Kyoto (but not really all that much rain) and high humidity; following that, the humidity stays and temperatures soar, making even just breathing uncomfortable. Several festivals take place in the summer, but the weather is not pleasant.
Winters get colder than most of Japan's other major cities, but they're still a good time to visit, in my opinion. Spring and autumn are hands down the best, though. The cherry blossom season (usually the first half of April) is probably the most popular, but the fall colors in autumn are just as impressive. Late summer to early autumn is typhoon season; while the typhoons won't pose any real danger in the city, they can shut down transportation.
Getting to Kyoto
Kyoto does not have its own airport, so anyone flying in will likely arrive at one of Osaka's airports. The best way to get to Kyoto from the Kansai International Airport is the JR West Haruka Kansai Airport Limited Express train which costs ¥2,980. You can save around 1000 yen by buying the JR West Kansai Area Pass for ¥2,000, but you will need to have proof of a plane ticket out of Japan. Limousine buses are another option. They take between 90 minutes and two hours, depending on traffic and cost ¥2,500 (or ¥4000 round-trip) to Kyoto Station, with stops at several major hotels along the way.
From Itami Airport, limousine bus #15 takes around one hour and costs ¥1,280. If you don't mind changing trains a few times, you can save money by taking the monorail to Hotarugaike, the Hankyu Takarazuka Line from there to Juso and finally the Hankyu Kyoto Line to Kyoto. This option costs ¥650 and will take around the same amount of time. It will also leave you on Shijo Street in central Kyoto, while the bus drops you off at Kyoto Station in the south of the city.
Most people who come to Kyoto from outside the Kansai area (for example Tokyo, Yokohama or Nagoya in the east or Fukuoka, Hiroshima or Himeji in the west) take the Shinkansen (Bullet Train), which arrives at Kyoto Station. Within the Kansai area, regular express trains are much cheaper and don't take much longer. If arriving by highway bus, the drop-off location depends on the bus company, but they are all connected to public transportation.
As I recommend staying in the Shin-Imamiya area of Osaka instead of Kyoto and simply commuting, I will detail how best to do this. You basically have three options:
JR Special Rapid Service: runs from the JR Umeda Station in Osaka to Kyoto Station in southern Kyoto for 540 yen; takes 28 minutes
Hankyu Limited Express: runs from the Hankyu Umeda Station in Osaka to the Kawaramachi Station in central Kyoto for 390 Yen; takes 43 minutes; several of the stations prior to Kawaramachi can be convenient, too, depending on your plans in Kyoto
Keihan Limited Express: runs from Yodoyabashi Station in Osaka to Sanjo Station in central Kyoto for 400 Yen; takes 50 minutes; especially convenient for the sightseeing spots in eastern Kyoto
Since you have to take the subway from the Doubutsuen-mae Station or the JR from the Shin-Imamiya Station to connect to any of these three options, the first will be the fastest and the easiest option when leaving Osaka. However, the other two options take you directly to central Kyoto and are thus more convenient for sightseeing. Which choice is the best will ultimately depend on your itinerary.
Unlike other Japanese cities, the subway system in Kyoto is mostly useless for sightseeing. A number of private railways cover parts of the city, with the Keihan and Hankyu lines probably being the most useful, but many of the sights can only be reached by bus. Luckily, the buses in Kyoto are the most tourist-friendly in Japan, with station names and announcements in English.
The buses are quite slow, however, and I always got frustrated when I ended up spending more time sitting at red lights than exploring temples. There's not much you can do about it though, other than planning a good route sightseeing route in advance. You can also speed things up a bit by sticking to the 'Raku' buses, which skip all non-tourist stops. They leave from platform D2 outside Kyoto Station
If you plan on making extensive use of the bus and subway lines, I'd recommend getting the Kyoto Sightseeing card, which costs 1200 yen for one day or 2000 for two. Personally, I never found much use for the subway and I just got a day pass on the bus for 500 yen. With a single ride costing 220 yen, you get your money's worth pretty quickly. These passes can be bought directly from the driver or from the bus information center just outside Kyoto Station.
If you are in good shape, bicycles are another good option, as they allow you to avoid the traffic congestion, which is what can really slow down the buses. Starting at 1000 yen per day, bikes can be rented form several places around town, including the Kyoto Cycling Tour Project located 5 minutes north of Kyoto Station (ask at the information desk for dierctions). Guided bike tours are also available, but need to be arranged three days in advance (Tel: 075-354-3636).
Kyoto lacks a neighborhood with true budget options, like the area around Shin-Imamiya Station in Osaka. Since that area is only about 40 minutes away by train, I've always just stayed there and visited Kyoto on a day trip.
If you prefer staying in the city, hostels are your best bet. Luckily, there are quite a few really good ones here. None are better than the Khaosan Theater, one of the nicest hostels you'll find anywhere. Its sister property, the Khaosan Guesthouse is a good alternative, although it doesn't come close to the theater.
The Khaosan Guesthouse has private rooms, but they are a bit expensive. If you want your own room, I'd go with the Hana Hostel, where twins are $35 or the Guesthouse Bon, where you'll pay just under $40 for a single.
If you really want to go cheap, just spend the night in an internet cafe, where you'll probably pay around 2000 yen for the whole night, but might be able to find a place offering special overnight rates as low as 800 yen.
A lot of people come to Kyoto with the idea of staying in a ryokan, but the truth is, you're better off doing that elsewhere in Japan. Most of the places called ryokan in Kyoto are actually minshuku, which are a cheaper version. There's nothing wrong with minshuku, but they are not the same as ryokan and many people end up being disappointed when their experience does not meet their expectations.
Like anywhere in Japan, you will have no trouble finding good places to eat in Kyoto. The railway station itself has more places to eat than most cities around the world. Just avoid the overly touristy places and you will get a good meal. To save money, eat at places that sell order tickets from vending machines.
If you are looking for some exciting nightlife, hop a train to Osaka. Kyoto has many bars, but most are generally Japanese style places and not all that appealing to visitors (and often ridiculously expensive). This is one case where I recommend sticking to bars geared toward westerners.
With 17 UNESCO listed sites in the area, and countless other historic attractions, Kyoto has way too many things to see and do for most people. It would take months to see them all, so I will only list the most important, most impressive and most unique among them, grouped by region—and even this list will keep you busy for days. If you want some more help in planning your sightseeing itinerary, the Japan National Tourist Organization has an excellent pamphlet detailing self-guided "Kyoto Walks" available for free in pdf format here. It includes admission fees, opening hours and bus numbers.
Central Kyoto
Nijo Castle: great castle with good views of the city, nice gardens and "nightingale floors" that make bird-like squeaking sounds when stepped on to give advance warning when someone was approaching; popular location for cherry blossoms, plum blossoms and autumn colors; Nijojo-mae Station for both bus and subway; open daily, 8.45-17:00, last admission at 16:00; admission: 600 yen
Kyoto Imperial Palace: not worth the trouble in my opinion, as you can't enter the palace buildings, but it's the only Imperial Site in the city with English tours—at 10am and 2pm Monday to Friday, by appointment only; make advance bookings through the Imperial Household Agency's website (in English), but you might be able to join a tour if there's space, by just showing up at the the Imperial Household Agency building west of the Imperial Palace (I wouldn't count on this though, especially during busy times of the year); 5-10 minute walk south of Imadegawa Station on the Karasuma subway line; admission is free
Nishiki Market: a narrow shopping street known as "Kyoto's Kitchen" lined by over a hundred restaurants, food stalls and shops selling any food you can imagine as well as knives, cookware, etc; some places give out samples; one block north of, and running parallel to, Shijo Avenue, 5 minutes on foot from Shijo Station on the Karasuma Subway Line or Karasuma or Kawaramachi Stations on the Hankyu Line
Higashiyama (Eastern Kyoto)
Kiyomizudera Temple: one of Kyoto's most popular attractions, with great views over the city from the main hall's veranda, which is made entirely of wood (no nails, etc) and a waterfall that gives the temple its name (kiyomizu means "pure water"); a path leads from the temple up into the mountain, providing a nice escape from the city and some great scenery; open daily, 6:00-18:00; the nearest bus stop is Kiyomizu-michi or Gojo-zaka; admission ¥300
Mount Daimonji: an hour of walking through a forest gets you to the summit with some great views of the city; the path is well-marked and begins near Ginkakuji
Heian Shrine: Shin'en Garden behind the shrine is one of the city's most beautiful and a popular spot for viewing cherry blossoms, especially pink ones; 10 minutes on foot north of Higashiyama Station on the Tozai Subway Line; open 8:30-17:30 from March to August, 8:30-17:00 from Sep to Oct and 8:30-16:00 from Nov-Feb; entrance to the grounds is free, entrance to the garden is ¥600
Maruyama Park: most popular cherry blossom viewing spot in Kyoto and very crowded during cherry blossom season; 10 minutes on foot east of the Gion bus stop or the Gion Shijo Station on the Keihan Line; enter through Yasaka Shrine; free admission
Gion District: very photogenic neighborhood with traditional buidlings, flagstone-paved streets and the occasional glimpse of geisha or maiko (geisha apprentices); Gion bus stop or the Gion Shijo Station on the Keihan Line
Ginkakuji: the "Silver Pavilion" is one of Kyoto's most popular attractions, but is not actually covered in silver; surrounded by an immaculate zen garden and a moss garden; located at the northern end of the Philosopher's Path; Ginkakuji-michi is the nearest bus stop; 08:30-17:00 from Mar to Nov and 09:00-16:30 from Dec to Feb; admission is ¥500
Nanzenji Temple: large temple complex with a massive Sanmon entrance gate and a large brick aqueduct; located a few minutes south of the southern end of the Philosopher's Path; 5 minute walk from Keage Station on the Tozai Line or from the Nanzenji-Eikando-michi bus stop; 08:30-17:00 from Mar to Nov and 09:00-16:30 from Dec to Feb; admission to the complex is free, but entering the Sanmon Gate costs ¥500, the Nanzen-in Zen Temple and its moss garden ¥300 and Hojo (the abbot's quarters) with its raked garden and painted sliding doors is ¥500
Philosopher's Path: 2km long path that runs from Ginkakuji to Eikando, though most continue to Nanzenji (or start from there if going the opposite direction), passing several temples along the way; pleasant walk all year, but especially beautiful when cherry blossoms or fall foliage make their appearance
Northern Kyoto
Kinkaku-ji: the Golden Pavillion is Kyoto's most popular attraction and an absolute "must-see"; the nearest bus stops are Kinkakuji-michi and Kinkakuji-mae; open daily from 9:00-17:00; admission is ¥400
Ryouan-ji: famous for its minimalist zen garden, but most are more impressed by the beautiful grounds surrounding a large pond, especially in autumn when the leaves change colors; near Ryouanji-mae bus stop and Ryouanji-michi on the Keifuku Kitano Tram Line; 8:00-17:00 from Mar to Nov and 8:30-16:30 from Dec to Feb; admission ¥500
Ninnaji Temple: large temple complex with a five-story pagoda, a plantation of dwarf cherry trees, the former palace building and a miniature version of the 88 Temple Pilgrimage in Shikoku in the hills behind the temple (this takes an hour or two to complete—the original takes a month or two); near Omuro Ninnaji bus stop; open daily 9:00 to 16:30; entrance to the former palace building is ¥500, everything else is free
Takao: a wooded valley with temples just north of the city and one of the most popular places to view the fall leaves; in autumn, vendors sell fresh treats and lanterns are lit up along the river at night, but the rest of the year the Takao area is very quiet; among the temples, Jingo-ji is well worth visiting for its view of the Kiyotaki River between two hills (especially beautiful in autumn), while the others can be skipped, but you might as well check out Saimyoji and Kozan-ji if you're already in the area; take a JR Bus or a Kyoto City Bus to Takao Bus Stop for 500 yen (the day pass will not fully cover this as Takao is outside the flat fare zone)
Arashiyama (Western Kyoto)
This district on the western outskirts of the city is popular with Japanese tourists, but not quite so much with westerners. It is arguably the best spot to view the fall colors and is very beautiful—and crowded—during cherry blossom season as well. This was my favorite area of Kyoto.
Togetsukyo Bridge: a picturesque bridge over the Hozu River that is Arashiyama's most famous landmark; just south of Arashiyama Station on the Keifuku Arashiyama Line and just north of Arashiyama Station on the Hankyu Arashiyama Line
Otagi Nenbutsu-ji Temple: rarely visited temple featuring over 1200 small statues that each have a unique facial expression—photographers will have hours of fun; near Otagidera-Mae bus stop; open from 8:00 to 17:00; admission is ¥300.
Jojakkoji Temple: beautiful temple when the leaves change colors, but the real draw is the amazing view of the city from above the pagoda; open 9:00 to 17:00; entrance is ¥400
Kokedera: another World Heritage Site with a beautiful moss garden that now requires advance registration by mail to visit; send a letter giving your name, the date you prefer to visit and the number of people in your party and include a self-addressed stamped envelope, so that they can let you know when your reservation is scheduled if you are accepted; the address is: Saiho-ji Temple 56 Jingatani-cho, Matsuo Nishikyo-ku, Kyoto, 615-8286, Japan; located a 20 minute walk from Matsuo Station on the Hankyu Arashiyama Line; I didn't bother with Kokedera, but apparently, it's well worth the trouble; it's certainly expensive enough, with an admission fee of ¥3000
Sagano Romantic Train: a scenic ride on a steam train to Kameoka; from there, many visitors take a Hozu River Cruise to get back; trains depart from Torokko Saga Station every hour from 8:50 to 16:50 and from Torokko Arashiyama Station three minutes later; ¥600
Tenryu-ji: one of the many UNESCO World Heritage Sites and one of Kyoto's five great zen temples, but not worth the trouble unless you really like temples; the garden and pond are nice though, but overall, I found the bamboo forest just north of the temple complex much more interesting; a short walk west of the Keifuku Arashiyama Station; 8:30-17:30 from Mar to Oct and 8:30-17:00 from Nov to Feb; admission is ¥600
Okochi Sanso: mountain retreat with beautiful grounds and nice views of the city; especially impressive in autumn; located just west of the bamboo forest north of Tenryu-ji; 9:00 to 17:00; entrance is ¥1000, which includes a cup of matcha green tea and a small dessert in the villa's tea house
Southern Kyoto
Fushimi Inari Taisha: hundreds of bright red torii (gates) line a path behind the shrine and the hillside offers great views of the city; Fushimi-Inari Station on the Keihan Main Line or Inari Station on the JR Nara Line; always open; admission is free.
To-ji Temple: the tallest pagoda in Japan, a nice garden with cherry blossoms and a famous flea market on the 21st of every month; 15 minute walk southwest of Kyoto Station or 5 minutes west from Toji Station on the Kintetsu Kyoto Line; open 9:00 to 17:30; entrance fee: ¥500
Tofuku-ji: large temple complex with many beautiful, small gardens; very popular with Japanese tourists when the leaves change colors; located ten minutes southeast from Tofukuji Station on the JR Nara Line and the Keihan Main Line and the Tofukiji bus stop; also connected to Fushimi Inari Shrine by a path through the woods; open from 9:00 to 16:00
Daigo-ji: large temple complex that is famous for being one of Kyoto's best cherry blossom and autumn foliage viewing spots; located 15 minutes east of Daigo Station on the Tozai Subway Line or the Daigoji bus stop; open from 9:00 to 17:00 from Mar through November and 9:00 to 16:00 from Dec through Feb (the museum is always open from 9 to 4); admission is ¥600 for each part (main complex, museum and the beautiful Sanboin Garden) or ¥1000 for any two and ¥1500 for all three
Uji is actually a separate town, located about twenty minutes south of Kyoto on the JR Nara Line (¥230). The Keihan Uji line will take you there as well. Uji is famous for its tea, but it is also a beautiful town and one of Japan's oldest.
Byodo-in Temple: features the Phoenix Hall, which can be found on the 10 yen coin (Note: the Phonexi Hall is undergoing renovation and is currently not visible or open to the public—the work is scheduled to be completed in March 2014, but will likely take a bit longer); open daily 8:30-17:30 form Mar to Nov and 9:00-16:30 from Dec to Feb; admission fee is ¥600 to the grounds and museum and an additional ¥300 for Phoenxi Hall, but during the construction work, the Phoenix Hall is closed and admission to the grounds is reduced to ¥300
Mt. Buttoko (aka Mt. Daikichi): nice hike with an observatory at the top offering views of the area; located east of the river
Kosho-ji Temple: a working temple, meaning the buildings are in use and you can hear zen chants in the late afternoon—visitors are asked to stay quiet; the tree covered approach from the river is famous and especially beautiful in autumn
Mimurotoji Temple: thousands of flowers adorn the temple complex and are at their most beautiful from mid May to July; admission is ¥500
Taiho-an Tea House: Uji is the tea capital of Japan and this tea house operated by the municipal government is a good place to try a traditional Japanese tea ceremony and/or a cup—or several—of matcha green tea; 1-5 Uji, Togawa, Uji city, Tel. 081-774-23-3334); open 10:00 – 16:00
Cormorant fishing on summer nights, fishermen using fire, nets and trained birds to catch fish; tickets for boat tours sold at the kiosk by the stone pagoda; 1800 yen per person (children 900 yen) for one hour
do not take a taxi from the airport; take the train instead (or the limousine bus if arriving at Itami Airport)
take public transit, especially the buses, to get around town; a day pass on a bus costs half as much as the cheapest bicycle you can rent
avoid touristy restaurants and eat at small, local places and street stalls
stay in the Shin-Imamiya area of Osaka, if you plan on visiting that city anyway; otherwise, try a hostel or a minshuku
entrance fees will add up, so only pay for the most important sites and stick to free ones the rest of the time; I found that many of the lesser temples were not worth the entrance fee, but people with a strong interest in temples will likely disagree

What are the dates for the Kyoto Antique Market at Pulse Plaza in October, 2014. Thank you, Daniel.
Go Huskies!
I took a look at their website (http://www.gomoku-do.com/) and it doesn't say anything about October 2014. It just says the last one was Oct 4-6, 2013 and the next one will be March 28-30, 2014.
I went to Washington State University, so I'm pretty sure I'm not even permitted to like the Huskies, although I do generally support them over anyone but the Cougars.
Sorry I couldn't be more help on the Kyoto Antique Market.

Please make more! I will buy multiple wholesale and re-sell if that helps. I looked for this kind of hat since I was a kid, and finally found it. Then a few months later I lost it, and now I need another!!!!
Nice hat, my friends and sons asked where to get one! I passed on the website.


This past week I took over the Elliott Fouts Gallery Instagram (@efgallery) as their featured artist for the month of July, 2015.
The first time I started painting books, they were simply used as props. I had very traditional still life subjects (fruit and the like). Books were simply there to add some new dimension to the paintings.
I first started by using my own hard cover books with the sleeves taken off. You can see some of my early book paintings here, here, and here.
My own library of books had no character. They were clean, crisp and new. My mother-in-law has an amazing collection of books in her library. I borrowed some of her antique books and started using them — check the early ones out here, here and here.
Then it dawned on me. Some of the books from my MIL's collection had these fantastic titles. The books once belonged to a young law student who was studying in 1905. These ethics and philosophy books took my work in an all new direction. The books were not just props. They were the context, the narrative, the reason to paint.
I made my way to one of the antique shops I frequent and stumbled upon a children's primary reader It's Story Time. Felt like magic. I was able to juxtapose the book with the lofty legal tomes. An interesting dichotomy. You wait for something like this to come your way when you paint for years. Something that you know is yours, and becomes direction that you can follow for years.
The first four paintings using It's Story Time were with my MILs antique legal books.
Then I began collecting children's primary readers. I'd pop in to antique and vintage shops and pick up the odd primary school book. Slowly adding to my collection. Using them to tell the stories in my paintings. Using the books to add colour, ideas, structure to my work.
Authenticity is something people can feel and understand in an artists work. The few times I've been asked to invent or fudge book titles, it felt wrong. It's not what I want to do as an artist.
Having the actual books makes the work authentic. I've done many book paintings and I'll continue. They really do feel like my own unique offering to the vast world of painting and art.
I put details in to the books that make the paintings more autobiographical. My children's names in place of publishers imprints, anniversary dates, all these bring your work to a different level. In a way, these details breath life in to painting.
When I'm standing with someone looking at the actual painting in my studio or in a gallery, they see my work is far more painterly and looser than they first thought.
American Art Collector June 2013. It's nice when your efforts get recognised in print.
Today I began a painting with a book, the "Manual of Psychology" as one of the subjects. By an author who's last name is so similar to mine that I was thinking I could be very sly and sneak mine in instead, we're just one letter off. But I won't because I claim no authority on the subject of psychology.
I'm fortunate to have an antique shop a block from my house. However, I'm a little worried about how long it'll continue business, as the fellow who runs the place looks like he's been at it for about, oh, 150 years. When you enter the shop you have to courteously announce your presence because I'm not so sure he can actually turn to see if someone has entered. If I were a portrait painter I'd try with all my might to capture this fellow. I recently read The Lathe of Heaven in which a tortoise-like alien owns and operates an antique shop… well, lets just say that entering the shop near my house leaves you wondering if you're trapped in a science fiction novel and your dreams are coming true.
I picked up the book "It's Story Time" at the aforementioned shop. I think its title and subject contrasts perfectly with the thick, heavy subject and title of the "Manual of Psychology". I'll put that down in the notebook with ideas for future paintings.


Vinyl shower bases are water-repelling membranes.
Vinyl shower bases or liners provide a waterproof barrier to the floor of a shower. The shower base is installed on the shower floor after the shower stall has been framed with studs and the subfloor has been covered with mortar. Vinyl shower bases are used in conjunction with clamping flange shower drains to create a watertight barrier around the shower drain.
The shower base, commonly called a liner, is installed over a sloped bed of mortar, which is angled to lead water toward the central drain on the shower floor. After the shower drain hole is cut through the shower subfloor, you are ready to measure and cut the shower base. Measure the shower floor dimensions and add 9 inches to each dimension or side of the shower floor that connects to a wall. The extra length allows for the sides of the shower base to extend up the shower wall from the floor to ensure that the subfloor is protected from water.
Transfer the shower floor dimensions to the vinyl shower base and cut it out. If you are using a roll of vinyl shower base, connect the pieces of shower base by overlapping the upper edge by 2 inches over the bottom edge. The bottom edge of the shower base should be on the same side as the shower drain. Use PVC cement to "weld" or adhere the two pieces together on the seam. Run a roller over the seams after two minutes to make the seam flat and remove any air bubbles.
Set the vinyl shower base into the shower floor, over the mortar, centered over the drain hole and run the sides of the shower base up the shower walls. The top edge should be at least 3 inches above the finished top of the shower curb. Fold the corners down into a dog ear shape and tuck them behind the shower base. Nail the base to the wall studs with roofing nails positioned 1/2 inch below the top edge of the vinyl base. Set a preformed three-way shower corner and curb protector over the curb and weld the pieces onto the shower base with the PVC cement.
Cut the vinyl shower base directly over the shower drain with a utility knife. Make holes for the shower drain bolts by pushing a nail through the vinyl shower base. Seal the gap between the shower drain flange and the shower base with 100 percent silicone caulking. Once the caulk sets or dries, attach the clamping ring to the shower drain flange. Plug the drain and fill the shower floor with water to test for leaks. If it is watertight, the shower floor is ready to be tiled.

I didn't own a cell phone in high school (gasp). No one did. We didn't have "the internet." Google wasn't a noun, much less a verb. As I was transitioning from high school student to semi-autonomous college student, technology was exploding. I owned my first cell phone when I was freshman in college. It stayed off and was locked in my car's glove compartment. It was for emergencies only, as every call cost about a zillion bucks. It also weighed 85 pounds and was the size of a Chihuahua, so I wasn't tempted to carry it around. But I was considered "cool" for having one.
Fast forward to my senior year and preparing for marriage. I still didn't have a cell phone- a few of the "rich" kids carried them around, but it wasn't mainstream yet. When I think of how much easier it would have been to find my boyfriend/fiance on campus if we'd had phones….Oh, the time saved. No money wasted on the stupid pay phone in the hallway. No waiting an eternity for someone to answer the dorm phone. No waiting another eternity while said someone yelled at the top of his lungs, "JARED….JARED….YOUR GIRLFRIEND IS ON THE PHONE." No waiting until some kind soul finally picks up the abandoned phone to inform me that Jared signed out for work three hours ago and won't be home until after curfew. Man, things would have been so much easier! Then again, getting into trouble would have been so much easier if we had to deal with texting, Facebook and Twitter as clueless kids with raging hormones. I'm honestly glad we made it out just in time!
We have been married for almost 13 years, and the changes in technology in just that time are staggering. We were married a couple of years before I even owned a cell phone. Then it was a few more before texting became available and finally affordable. A few years later, Facebook came onto the scene as something not just for college kids anymore. We adapted as new technology and social media became available. But I do wish we could go back in time and be taught as kids and young adults how we should handle the technology available to us. There was no preparation for the onslaught of media we now deal with on a day-to-day basis. When we were doing our premarital counseling, there wasn't a session devoted to keeping our marriage guarded from issues that may arise via Facebook. There were no guidelines on how to communicate with your spouse using text messaging.
It's 1991 and Miss Recent Law Grad needs to talk to Mr. Lawyer Partner about a case on the weekend. She dials his home phone and Mr. Lawyer's 4-year-old son answers. Recent Law Grad convinces him to pass the phone to his mommy, who explains that Mr. Lawyer Partner is out taking the 8-year-old to gymnastics. Miss Recent Law Grad used to take gymnastics, too. They chat for a bit about the lessons, and she leaves a message with Mrs. Lawyer Partner explaining why she's bugging Mr. Lawyer Partner at home.
(Fast forward to 2013) Miss Recent Law Grad texts Mr. Lawyer Partner while he's watching gymnastics. She's never talked to the wife. She knows vaguely that he has a few kids, but they're not real to her. But everyday she and the partner text back and forth at least a dozen times. They're becoming good friends.
It's 1982 and Johnny Doe is driving through his hometown when he passes the old "make out bridge". He has fleeting thoughts of Mary Jane, with whom he often frequented that spot. But he doesn't look her up, because he has no idea where she is. She's probably married anyhow.
(2013) And Johnny Doe? He found Mary Jane on Facebook a couple of months back. They've been privately messaging for a while now. She's been married for 23 years, but she feels dissatisfied. "Talking" to Johnny reminds her of those exhilarating times when she was young and felt desirable and the future was all open to her. Her husband has no idea that she's found Johnny again.
***Quick update: along the lines of "I wish I had been taught as a child/teen about technology" here's a great starting point for you parents: the teen cell phone contract. Personalize it to fit your family's needs and priorities and help prepare your child for the future!
Hi Nicole, technology has become so ingrained in our culture that I think we often forgot just how much of an open door it can be when it comes to relationships. As a single girl articles like this is great to read to help plan ways to safeguard my future marriage.
I'm glad you found it! Society has changed with the technology, and we don't often think about the safety barriers that used to be up naturally- like the home telephone. I'm glad you are already thinking about and preparing yourself for a safeguarded marriage!

Review: Blood on Her Name thrillingly grapples with cycles of violence
Matthew Pope's Blood on Her Name is a steely, psychological thriller about cycles of violence. Now available in cinemas and on VOD in the US.
Review: Blood on Her Name thrillingly grapples with cycles of violence. Courtesy of Vertical Entertainment.
Matthew Pope's Blood on Her Name opens on a grown woman staring in fright at a puddle of blood pooling toward her feet. Leigh Tiller (Bethany Anne Lind), a mother and business owner, stands frozen before the body of a man she later claims to have accidentally killed, a look of terror on her face. A later nightmarish flashback echoes this opening scene: a little girl, whom we now assume is the younger Leigh, listens outside a door to the violent grunts of her corrupt cop father (Will Patton). After the sounds of struggle cease with a loud thud, blood slowly seeps under the doorframe, and the girl looks on, calmly enough that we know she's witnessed similar scenes before. This scene tells us things about Leigh's violent childhood that retroactively inform the film's opening: when the older Leigh looks in terror at the man she has murdered, it's not just terror at having murdered a man, but terror at the fact that she's becoming her father, a man she always resented for being violent.
In this steely, unforgiving, psychological thriller, there is no easy way out of a life of crime: either you turn yourself in and face the consequences of your actions, or you kill until there's nobody left to turn you in. Over the course of a few days, Pope charts the increasingly rash decisions Leigh makes when she finds herself stuck between these two distressing options. Like a deer in headlights, she's startled and unsure where to turn, stuck in a state of perpetual indecision. Her first instinct after the murder is to row the body out to the middle of a lake and dump it into the water's depths — but she only gets as far as sinking the murder weapon, a spanner, before she doubts herself and turns back. Feeling guilty, she instead leaves the dead man's body in his girlfriend's garage, so that the girlfriend can have closure. Throughout the film, she makes several slip-ups because she's too panicked to think things through: she leaves incriminating evidence at various crime scenes and admitting her guilt to people in the vain and misguided hope that they'll take pity on her.

Pope and co-screenwriter Don M. Thompson explore cycles of violence as Leigh attempts to halt the history of violence in her family for the sake of herself and her teenage son, Ryan (Jared Ivers). Her ex-husband is in jail; her father is corrupt; and in one of the first scenes of the film, Leigh takes Ryan to meet his parole officer after Ryan blinded a kid in one eye. She's determined to assert to the officer that he's a good kid, insisting it in an almost panicked way, and we see that goodness in him too. But the violence of his father (and grandfather) has made Ryan violent, too — his instinct is to react to conflict with violence, like when he attacked the other kid because he was making fun of the fact that Ryan's father is in jail.
Pope, Thompson, and lead actress Lind work together to create a visceral portrait of paranoia and anxiety that draws tension from its exploration of cycles of violence. Leigh's violence is a product of the patriarchal violence she grew up under: her father is gun crazy and instills in her a kill or be killed attitude. As an amoral cop, he taught Leigh to operate above the law; while it's an attitude she rails against (she hates her father and tells him so), and is determined to steer her son away from, she still ends up falling victim to it. What's more, much of Leigh's violent behaviour in the film is a result of her carrying on her ex-husband's corrupt business, which she relies on to support her family. Lind's face is constantly pinched and pained, her voice faraway with worry when she's trying to go about her day as normal. "I keep thinking I hear sirens," she confides to a friend, and you can see it in her face. She's jittery and hyper-self-conscious; we watch her pace around and search the faces of everyone she talks to intently, scanning despairingly for signs of suspicion. Pope doesn't need to do much more than linger on her face to ramp up the film's tension and sense of urgency.
The film also hints that America's lax gun control contributes to Leigh's inability to escape from a violent world. She is reluctant to let her son, Ryan, spend time alone with his grandfather, because she's afraid that he will encourage her son's inclination toward violence. When she finds her fears confirmed — her father has taken Ryan to practice shooting — she's furious. Leigh spends the film trying (and often failing) to keep her son away from bad influences, in order to break the cycle of violence, and those bad influences often come in the form of firearms. In the Southern backwoods town where the film is set, there's even a billboard present in the background of one scene that screams the words: "GUNS. HUNTING. FISHING." It's hard for Leigh to stay hopeful that her family can escape violence when everyone and everything around her seem to be pushing her toward pulling a trigger.

If and when a ski patrol penetrates deep behind enemy lines, it must mark its boundries by flags, panels, or smoke signals. 10 Packs O n ! Long-range missions may necessitate ski units being supplied by air. In this case, the drop sites should be located in an open area—but far enough from the front lines to be safe from enemy observation. Ski troops can give considerable support to foot soldiers because, by not using regular roads or trails, ski troops are able to move rapidly to where they are needed the most.
28 "Packs On While on Kiska, we had every kind of weather except extreme cold— mostly wind-driven rain, and sometimes a williwaw. We lived in tents that often blew down, so Quonset huts were put up. But, we never got to live in them. Our Quonset became the orderly room and mess hall. My tent had all the oddballs. There was Daniel T. Walsh, bugler; Henry Moscow, editor of our company newspaper, The Rucksack; Charlie Graves; and a couple of others whose names I can't remember. The tents were deployed over a large area and were connected with what was called sound power phones.
They must slide along the snow to the desired direction. If ski tracks are too narrow, they become useless. An eight-inch width is suitable for most skiers. Heavy snowfalls can obliterate tracks in a short time. It then becomes necessary to send a trail-breaking detachment ahead in advance of the main unit. The distance covered by the trailbreakers depends on the terrain and the type of snow. To maintain endurance and guarantee an uninterrupted advance, the lead men of the detachment should be relieved often.

My bag is brimming with library goodness tonight! We showed off the ultra modern, neighborhood branch to our guest. Unbeknownst to us, we arrived just in time for a performance of The Stonecutter by the Puppet Truck. It was great! Then, I had an extra pair of hands to help me carry the 14 books on hold JUST FOR ME! As I placed them here and there around the house (you never know where you'll be nursing!), I had to grab the camera. My copy of House Beautiful's Decorating With Books was being used to decorate the end table. More on that one later.
I can't wait to see more of your decorating with books. If that is one thing I have...it's books!
I like their Decorating with Houseplants book, too.
Once when I was a dirt poor book store owner my coffee table was a huge stack of coffee table books with a glass top. I also wallpapered a room with pages out of some old encyclopedias, it was beautiful, I loved that room.
If you like decorating with books read At Home With Books. You'll be impressed if not inspired.
Bless you for your love of books.
Wow, so all those piles of books in my living room and den are "docoration"!
Wait, piles on the floor don't count? Waiting for someone to build the bookshelf isn't an excuse? Clutter, you say?
Thank you, Barb. That's quite a compliment.
Mothersong, I'm waiting on my bookcases, too. Husband said maybe over the holiday break, but not in time to get stockings hung on the mantel. Maybe I can hang them on stacks of books instead?


Last month we wandered into the wonderful world of sourdough baking. We found what sourdough is and how it's made. Now it's time for Part Two. So let's bake some bread.
Mix all ingredients together in large bowl with a wooden spoon, or use your big mixer if you have one. Mix until a stiff dough forms.
Turn the dough out on a lightly floured surface and knead until it becomes elastic and loses its stickiness.
Put the dough in a large oiled bowl, turn to oil the top, cover and set in a warm place until it doubles in bulk. (Setting the bowl in direct sunlight works real good.) The sourdough will rise a little slower than bread made with commercial yeast, so be patient.
When the dough has doubled, punch it down and knead a few strokes. Place it on a cookie sheet for a round loaf or use bread pan if you prefer. If you use the cookie sheet, sprinkle a little cornmeal on it so the bread doesn't stick. Spray the top of the bread with Pam or brush it with oil so your cover doesn't stick. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled again.
With this bread, you start with a cold oven. Put the bread in the oven and set it to 375F degrees. This gives the bread a little more rising time as the oven comes up to temperature. The bread should be done in 30 to 45 minutes. When you tap on it and it sounds hollow, it's done. Turn it out of the pan and brush all over with melted butter or oil. Put it on a rack and let it cool at least an hour before you tear into it.
Here's the biscuit recipe from our visiting expert. You can tell by the detail in the recipe that John has put a lot of time and research into his biscuit recipe. He gives amounts in both volume and weight. He prefers to weigh the ingredients, but most kitchens are not equipped to do such delicate measurements.
Eight to twelve hours before the biscuits are to be baked, prepare the sponge. Cover it with plastic wrap and allow it to stand in a warm place until bubbly and frothy.
Note: Although whole milk may be used, the exact volume and composition of the recipe is best adhered to if the designated amount of water and powdered milk is used to make up the quantity of milk required.
Combine all the dry ingredients except the baking soda in a mixing bowl. Cut the shortening into the mixture until it is about pea sized.
Dissolve the baking soda in about one tablespoon warm water, and stir it into the sponge. The sponge will become frothier.
Add the dry ingredients containing the shortening all at once to the sponge and stir. Remove the mixture to a floured board and lightly knead until it forms a smooth, cohesive mass. Pat out the dough to a thickness of about one inch and, using a biscuit cutter, cut it into rounds. Take care not to twist the cutter.
Crowd the rounds into a well-greased 9x13-inch pan, and spray the tops with Pam. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm place or at room temperature until they are approximately doubled in bulk. Do not become impatient since this step, based on room temperature, can take up to 3 hours.
Preheat the oven to 375F degrees, remove the plastic wrap and place the pan on the oven middle rack. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Remove the biscuits from the pan and serve hot.
John included some additional information learned from his years of baking experience.
My starter was originally developed from commercial yeast that later became sour by incursion of wild yeast spores from the air. It took me several days to establish the starter and if you think it useful I could go back into my records and outline the method for you. Frankly, I do not believe development of my starter is much different in principle from making any other active sourdough starter. The literature is filled with directions for making sourdough starters and any aspiring sourdough baker can certainly access these instructions.
Basically, my starter consists of trapped wild yeast, flour and water. The ratios of water to flour are one-third water by volume and two-thirds flour by volume. On a weight basis, the ratios become 50 percent water and 50 percent flour. These ratios are important because my recipes use them when developing the flour and liquid portions of ingredients in recipes.
Other starters are more liquid than mine and commonly have the ratio of 50 percent by volume water and 50 percent by volume flour. Convert these starters to an equivalent of my starter by adding to each one cup of the liquid starter one-half cup flour. The resulting starter will be thicker in consistency and must be allowed to stand several hours to allow the added flour to be acted upon.
When I decide to make sourdough biscuits, or any other sourdough recipe, in the early afternoon I remove the stored sourdough starter from the refrigerator and set it on the counter top. Along towards early evening after the starter has reached room temperature, I stir 1/3 cup water and 2/3 cup flour into the sourdough base, mix it thoroughly, replace the container cover and allow the mixture to stand overnight on the counter top. In the morning, the starter will have become very active, full of bubbles, and give off a characteristic sour odor. It is now expanded in volume, fully active and ready for use in baking any sourdough recipe you may choose.
Sourdough baking can only be successful with a lively and active starter combined with patience on the part of the baker.
We have just about run out of space for this month. Tune in next month for more recipes and some words from a Dutch oven baking professional.

The STAPA® HYDROLAN S series consists of the extremely thin silverdollar pigments of the SILVERSHINE S series. STAPA® HYDROLAN S was developed especially for water-based coatings systems.
A new heavy-metal-free stabilization procedure encapsulated conventional aluminium pigments with a transparent and homogeneous silica layer.
STAPA® HYDROLAN S closes the gap between conventional silverdollars and PVD pigments: The narrow particle size distribution results in a very bright, chrome-like appearance. From a functional point of view, STAPA® HYDROLAN S convinces with its extremely strong hiding power, an excellent gassing stability and a high shear stability.


If the UK's worse hit than Spain, how come there's less fear in the markets of it defaulting on its sovereign debt?
Writes Paul De Grauwe: "It is difficult to understand … why the market (and the rating agencies) forecast a default of the Spanish government debt, while they do not forecast trouble for the UK, which has a debt build up similar to Spain's and a more serious banking problem." Via Arthur Goldhammer, whose "'racial' component to the bias (blond bonds carry lower risk premia)" is actually I suspect a rational reaction to the don't ask, don't tell relationship from which Spain's banks believe they are benefiting at the moment (someone forgot to tell Miguel Sebastián). The UK is apparently global no 1 for budget transparency at the OBI), while I'm told some in Brussels have ceased to regard Spain as a functioning state. British banks have effectively become nationalised entities in a fairly public process, while the Spanish sector's problems are still the stuff of speculation. And while British local authorities are in deep shite, none of seem to think the most logical way out of it is to finance new Alitalias, which has been the Catalan public authorities' major response so far.
Cervantes, prototype for el Cobrador del Frac?
Maybe also related is that a reasonable proportion of traders *live* in the UK, and reducing the place to anarchy would make day-to-day life there awkward for them. Kind of the complement of the approach of those CIA strategists who focused for decades on technocratic approaches to spying that make for agreeable well-salaried jobs in New England, neglecting, to their operational disadvantage, previously well-understood techniques that involved dysentery as a way of life and speaking Moorish for 50 weeks out of 52.
Maybe they'd all emigrate on the profits they'd made in the process. We may find out!
Probably part of the explanation lies in the unfathomable state of Spanish Cajas. With no shareholders to deal with and a regulator ( Banco de España ) not above all suspicion, is perhaps a small dose of realism suppose them in deep trouble.

This modification corrects an intermittent problem with defective pinpoint switches on the Bounty Hunter Land Ranger Pro metal detectors.
My mod adds two switches to add to the versatility of using your detector in pinpoint mode. You do not need both switches. You can install one or both. One switch is an on/off SPST latching push button switch. The other switch is an on/off/on SPDT miniature toggle switch. This switch is nice because it can be pushed forward to pinpoint or pulled back to pinpoint. Center position is off. The toggle switch or the push button switch can be used to lock the pinpoint to the on position. Also, the original pinpoint switch on front of detector can be utilized as well if one chooses to.
First steps are to disassembly detector. Cut a small rectangular hole into top of metal shaft where control box screws onto shaft. This is to accommodate putting toggle switch inside shaft pole. Then drill small hole on opposite side to push toggle switch into.
For the push button switch, drill a hole on bottom of control box. Next drill a small hole on an angle on back of control box (near screw holes) to pull wires from toggle switch (inside pole) inside the control head. Do not drill straight back or you will go directly into battery box. All holes drilled will be hidden when metal detector is reassembled. (If you are careful and plan your wiring thoughtfully.) See pictures.
You should probably check your switches with a continuity meter to make sure they work before you install them. You would hate to find out that a switch was defective after you solder and installed everything.
Make final wire connections and solder. Excess wire can be pushed inside pole shaft or in control box. Test and enjoy.
Remember, either the original pinpoint, the toggle, or the push button switch can be used. I personally like the idea of having the pinpoint to be able to remain on if I choose to do so. I think you will find the addition of the modifications a worth will project. In actual use, I like both the toggle and the new push button switches. I find both are very versatile and add a better metal detecting experience. Of course, you do not need both switches. You could do the mod with either or both.
Credit goes to Joel Bryant for inspiring me to mod my detector. Thanks.
Anyone interested in me modding your detector, please feel free to private message me.
Nice of you to offer to help others.
Thanks. I just thought that not everyone is comfortable with doing these mods. Hope my mod helps some. After doing my mod, my detector is much better to use.


Kim and Kanye West's daughter North West aka Nori turned one this month. Her family threw her a fabulous birthday party with a Kidchella theme. Get it? Coachella – Kidchella – lol.

AIX: Airbus inaugurates expanded cabin centre in Hamburg
By Michael Gubisch2019-04-02T10:06:24+01:00
Airbus has opened an extension of its A350 cabin CDC (customer definition centre) at its Hamburg facility, to include A320 and A330 interior customisation activities.
The airframer established the A350 CDC in 2014 to centralise all customisation processes, which had previously taken place with separate Airbus teams and individual equipment vendors, in a single location. The aim was to improve the interior configuration process with various virtual-reality aids, equipment testing areas and cabin mock-ups.
Speaking to FlightGlobal on the eve of AIX 2019, Airbus senior vice-president of cabin and cargo programmes Soren Scholz said the airframer wanted to ensure that aircraft interior configuration could be finalised at a specified time, in order to facilitate a smooth production ramp-up.
Previously, late cabin changes had led to complications in the aircraft assembly process, he says.
The A320 and A330 customisation centre has been set up next to the A350 CDC in a converted 1930s hangar – one of the oldest buildings on the Finkenwerder site, which was originally established an aircraft manufacturing subsidiary of local shipyard Blohm & Voss.
Covered by a restored, riveted iron roof and overseen by a large historic wall clock, the hangar has been converted to an industrial loft-style, two-storey mezzanine space, split into an area for A320 cabin configuration and another for the A330.
Several meeting rooms are available with 6m x 3m (20ft x 10ft) back-projection screens to produce interactive 3D representations of different cabin layouts.
These representations display a cabin's touch and feel in fine detail – for example, seat covers have been scanned to show the individual textures of different fabrics, while cabin lighting is rendered in similar detail, presenting the interplay of artificial, potentially coloured lighting and natural light.
Operators can review different seats, galley and door-entry configurations in a range of cabin mock-ups. Those of the A320 and A330 also show equipment options for the underfloor cargo areas.
Scholz notes that mock-ups tend to be used to review selected equipment installations, while virtual models allow planners to experiment with different cabin layouts prior to any physical modelling, and can present a proposed cabin in its entirety.
In order to simulate cabin service processes in different configurations, Airbus has set up rooms in which the outlines of interior installations are projected onto the floor.
While complex, elaborate interiors tended to be found mainly on widebody types in the past, Scholz says demand for cabin customisation is increasing on single-aisle aircraft, as the re-engined A320neo and Boeing 737 Max are capable of operating certain long-haul routes.
But because single-aisle aircraft are produced at much higher rates than traditional long-haul types, more efficient ways of configuring the aircraft's interior with the operators had to be developed, he says.
At its Toulouse headquarters, Airbus has set up a cabin mock-up for the A220 – formerly known as the Bombardier CSeries – to support sales efforts for the programme.
No plans have been disclosed to establish a customer definition centre for the A220 in Hamburg, as the extended site has been dedicated to – and named after – Airbus's Airspace cabin interior line.
This was introduced on the A350 and A330neo – which entered service in 2018 – and has been extended to the A320.
Senior vice-president marketing customer affairs Francois Caudron says, however, that while the A220's interior is still new, it would be feasible to include the type in the CDC if a new, Airspace-style cabin were adopted in the future.
Airbus receives initial 'Airspace' cabin entry area for A320neo
Austrian aerospace firm FACC has delivered its first entrance area of the 'Airspace' interior configuration developed for the Airbus A320neo. FACC had been tasked with developing the door zone and overhead bins for the new interior layout two years ago. The Airspace cabin was introduced on the long-haul ...

Hello everyone.. How are you all?? Hope all are doing well..and me too..
Another Ethicare product review is on.. I am too impressed by the quality of the Ethicare products.. I have reviewed two more products before..( Do check HERE & HERE ) . In the Acmed gentle pimple care facewash review I had mentioned that I had one pimple on my forehead 😕 and I applied that facewash and some pimple care products and that pimple vanished away without leaving any mark.. Can you remember this line 🙋.. Well this pimple care mask was also included in that pimple care products.. I normally don't get pimples or acne as I have normal to dry skin type,hence I don't store any pimple care stuff in my skincare stash.. But sometimes due to weather change,I get one two tiny pimples.. Last time when I saw a little big size pimple on my forehead ,I searched for a pimple cure product online and then realise that i already have couple of pimple caring products in my stash which was sent by brand Ethicare.. Hence I started using and the result is quite clear and fair ..
Shelf Life : 3 years from mfg.
Refer to the below picture..
The face mask comes in tube packaging.. I personally love tube packaging in face packs,as i don't prefer to dip fingers inside a tub each time and it is also not hygienic . It has a tight flip open cap which is very sturdy.. The tube again comes inside a cardboard box which has all necessary information regarding the product..
I do use it once in a week but you can use twice or thrice .. The texture of the mask is very smooth and creamy .. It spreads easily without any hassle . I normally apply this on damp face and spread evenly ,then do wait for 10-12 minutes to dry completely. Now rinse off with lukewarm water .. It gives a nice smooth and healthy looking skin after each use.. It control the extra oil production and makes face squeaky clean.. I have normal skin type now and I don't need any extra moisturiser immediately but do apply after few minutes.. I think dry skin people need extra moisturiser after it because it controls the extra oil secretion and dry skin may feel the dryness after applying it.. It is a boon for oily acne prone skins.. It helped in removing the one and only pimple on my forehead.. Ohh yaa .. It smells like heaven.. I love the smell.. It resembles the smell of sandal and trust me, very refreshing..
It has tea tree oil, chandan, turmeric ,etc which are well known for curing blemishes ,acne ,etc.. It is mentioned on the box that you can feel slight tingling effect after applying it due to turmeric in the ingredients,but honestly i don't feel any tingling effect.. The mask is very friendly on my skin,I don't feel any itching or burning sensation as well.. It is also mentioned that ,it will add glow to your complexion but I haven't noticed any yet..
Has such good ingredients like turmeric,chandan,tea tree,etc.
I will definitely recommend this to specially the oily and acne prone skin people.. It works like charm on curing pimples and their marks.. So go ahead and buy one for you..
P.S- Product was sent by brand but my opinion is honest and unbiased..
I should give this a try as the ingredient list is impressive and the cost is amazing!
My roomie has terrible pimple problem. Shall suggest her this. Thank for sharing..
Thats a lovely review ! I know its an amazing product!

Q: Installation Error in VirtualBox I have an error when I try to install both 32-bit Lubuntu and Ubuntu 14.04. I'm not sure what this means, but the install process seems to get stuck there and doesn't continue. I've waited for upwards of half an hour for it to proceed. I'm running a fresh install of VirtualBox on Windows 7 with a 64-bit processor. Not sure what's going on.

A: It looks like the guest OS is crashing. Try to create the VM from scratch using the default settings that appear after you select version of operating system. Also make sure that 3D Acceleration is turned off in the VM before installing (you can re-enable it after you install the guest additions).

A: Crashing your guest os is related to your virtualbox settings.
Your computer is not supported which you have enabled in your virtualbox settings
Such as

**3D Acceleration** Turned off it.
**2D Acceleration** Turned off it.
**Enable I/O APIC** Turned off it.

If your motherboard supports hardware Virtualization  then enable Virtualization settings in BIOS.

Cliftonhill100 | Albion Rovers F.C.
A steering group has been set up to plan the celebrations of the centenary of the stadium over the next year.
There is a meeting today at 1.30 of the group in the lounge at the stadium. Anyone interested in getting involved in the committee will be most welcome today or if they can't manage along today just send me a pm and I'll give you info on future meetings.
Would be good if the club could celebrate the 30 anniversary of the 1989 2 nd Division championship team to coincide with the stadium anniversary.
Excellent idea Buchanan. I'm sure someone will step forward to take this important event on.
Sorry but need to focus on the more important things or we won't be playing there when it happens.
Yup, good time for celebrations.
Well said, Aldo and Jimbo.
Ronnie and his colleagues on the BoD have lost touch with reality and, directly, will be the folk who oversee the demise of the club.
I call on Ronnie, Eddie, and the other members of the BoD to get a grip on fuc*in reality and save our club.
Dumb comment Jordo, sober up - personal insults to folk in charge aren't the way forward right now.
Not personal insults but truth unfortunately. We are heading to oblivion while the board focus on distractions and trivia.
Agree. We should be in the great position of celebrating our history. But actually are contemplating bringing history to a sorry end. Sorry Ronnie / Eddie and co but please see that it is not within your ability to save our club and seek help!!! Reach out and do whatever you can please!
Sorry prof but 'in charge' and 'in control' are not the same.
Your suggestions to take over?
And your suggestions for the new Board of Directors is?
I have no money , business acumen or football knowhow. I can confirm I am devoid of wild regardless enthusiasm, a nice smile and a mild nature in the face of Armageddon. Not saying I can in their place but saying THEY CANT..... Not up to me to step in mate!
I have no money , business acumen or football knowhow.
Ah, so if one expresses an opinion, there must be alcohol involved?
