Watches...what are the downsides of PVD coating on a watch? Is it better than stainless steel?
I'm looking at a baume and mercier watch and it has both a stainless steel and a PVD steel option. The PVD is more expensive. Is it worth the extra money to get the PVD? It is a lighter material, but I also was told that it is far more prone to damage/breaking.
It does sound like the PVD coating would be better than stainless - tough, hard to scratch. What usually goes first on my watches is the crystal, not the case. The crystal gets scratched up before the case starts looking bad.
Eventually Dave's simulation makes it to modern times with exactly as much evidence in favor of Dave's Bible as we have today on Earth with our Bible. ) Suppose it simulates the entire course of evolution as scientists believe it happened in the blink of an eye, and the kid lets go of the fast-forward button as it reaches the equivalent of Biblical times. Suppose that a kid named Dave gets ahold of a simulation of the entire planet. And there is a large group of people in which everybody is so absolutely convinced that Dave's Bible is the truth, that this Dave guy is Serious Business. (Never mind whether or not simulating an entire planet will ever be in the realm of possibility. He manages to convince a guy to spread it around, maybe he even forges a couple of other historical documents to corroborate the stories in it, but from there he just sits back and watches events unfold....

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - Kate Varnum was at her Iowa home watching her newly adopted infant son when news flashed that Barack Obama had become the first sitting U. S. president to endorse equal marriage rights for same-sex couples. "I said, 'Oh my gosh, I can't believe this is happening,'" said Varnum, 38, a plaintiff in a lawsuit that prompted the Iowa Supreme Court to make the state the first in the Midwest to legalize gay marriage in 2009. An African-American bishop in Philadelphia said Obama's position will make him think twice about supporting the president's re-election. Americans reacted with joy, scorn and indifference to Obama's words in a television interview on Wednesday: "It is important for me personally to go ahead and affirm that same-sex couples should be able to get married. A Florida business owner in a same-sex relationship worried more about the economy and wondered whether Obama's stance was a gimmick. A Kentucky businessman said the president was injecting...

Curling club makeover under way
17.05.12
The 62-year-old Sackville Curling Club has been showing its age in recent years but soon will present an entirely new face to the community – one that should brighten up that area of Lansdowne Street with a bright and shiny new facade. While winning $25,000 in a competition from Kraft last year has provided an added urgency, the recognition for the need to upgrade the facility has been on the minds of members for the past 10 or more years. Maintenance of the structure, particularly on the facade, has been postponed or neglected in recent years until the building became somewhat of an "eyesore" with aging siding on the front, paint peeling off and often local "artists” leaving their... Come October all that will change following renovations estimated to cost at least $180,000 to $200,000. The agreement between Kraft and the local club is that the $25,000 must be used to improve the exterior of the building. Read the rest of this entry »
