    Toronto Aria | ?m | 19s | Fernbrook Homes | Rafael + Bigauskas

    I passed by the site this morning and they were in the midst of dismantling the crane for phase 2. I don't understand the logic in doing so though as they haven't finished pouring the conrete for that building and I'm quite sure that the phase 1 crane can't even reach that area.

    Best Burger

    The best burger I've had thus far is definitely from Johnny's at Vic Park and Sheppard. Used to go there quite often when I was in high school.......now I can't remember the last time I was there. I enjoy South Street Burger Co. too though.

    Toronto Solaris at Metrogate Condos | ?m | 40s | Tridel | Graziani + Corazza COMPLETE

    I have to say I like the way these buildings are progressing. It's a nice change from the typical Toronto box.

    Laser Eye Surgery

    I'm aware of the differences between LASIK and PRK, and both Dr. Herzig and Dr. Stein informed me that all touch-ups would be done via PRK, regardless of the fact that my initial surgery was done via LASIK. Herzig did mention that my cornea's were slightly asymmetrical, but nothing that would...

    Laser Eye Surgery

    Wow, again both my surgeon and eye doctor both told me that follow up procedures are always PRK since they never want to risk cutting a flap twice. As you said though, this could be for my eyes only.

    Laser Eye Surgery

    Yes, essentially they offer what is called 'touch ups'. If your eyes worsen, they can perform another surgery to correct them. Dr. Stein told me however, that regardless of which method of surgery a person gets initially (PRK vs. LASIK), the touch up is always PRK.

    Laser Eye Surgery

    Well the problem with information presented such as the journal article you referenced is that there is a plethora of them endorsing both sides of the argument. For instance, the following is a study that was conducted in the same year as the one you referenced (2004) and presented in the...

    Laser Eye Surgery

    Gei, You are correct that I was informed that intralase was superior to the microkeratome, but not by just one doctor/centre but all doctors/centres I visited (four in Toronto plus one in Ottawa). The ones considered to have the 'best' reputations in Toronto only offered intralase whilst the...

    Laser Eye Surgery

    One place can be better than another based on a variety of factors, not the least of which is customer service, price, technology, experience etc. At the end of the day go to a place that makes you comfortable. Just make sure to do some homework on the differences between types of surgery...

    Laser Eye Surgery

    This is a guess, but I'd say for $1500 your friends are likely having the flaps cut using a blade....considered to be inferior technology now (and actually for quite some time). They are also not likely getting custom lasik, but rather a one size fits all correction. Call me crazy, but I...

    The floorplate from the 14th floor is about a third of what is was on floor 13, you don't think they can do that in five days? I guess time will tell, though thanks for the input.

    Laser Eye Surgery

    I had laser eye surgery done at Bochner back in December and couldn't be happier with my decision. I knew I wanted to go to the best, which meant either Bochner or Herzig in my opinion, however I went for consults to many places, including YELC and Lasik MD. I picked Bochner because Dr...

    The crane for phase one was also extended to allow them to continue pouring the remaining floors. Not sure why they didn't just make the crane the necessary height to begin with. They've already poured about a third of the next floor, should be doing a floor every week at the minimum which...

    Thanks as always for the update Solaris. The signage for the towns was put up this past week-end. Full details have not been released, but it does say that the starting price is $699,990 and includes two car garage. A dedicated site has been put up at www.ariatowns.com but there are not...

    I don't know the answer to your question regarding flightpath and building height, but hasn't Buttonville been scheduled to close in the next few years?

    I'm with you 4grand, I don't get it either. Different strokes for different folks I guess. For anyone interested in the state of the project, phase two has now received some cladding. Phase one's first floor is nearly fully enclosed with windows and they've started the second floor. They...

    I think it will depend on whether they will allow people to move in on lower floors while the upper floors are unfinished. This took place in my current condo so I know it's possible. I think it's possible that the first units get occupancy for September, but certainly not the majority...

    Toronto Aria | ?m | 19s | Fernbrook Homes | Rafael + Bigauskas

    Okay, even I, a purchaser at Aria had to laugh at that bit. Occupancy has been delayed again, this time from June to September for phase one and August to November for phase two. Phase one has about 4-5 stories more before topping out, and phase two is not far behind with about 6-7 to go...

    Recommend a furniture repair company

    I'm not sure where to post this, so I'll try here. I am in need of a company to install new foam into the cushions of my sofa. At the same time, I'd like to have the cushions cleaned. If it makes a difference, the sofa is made of microfibre and has 6" foam. I've called a couple of places...

    Forum Issues Since Relaunch (Jan 20, 2010)

    I'm finding that a lot of threads contain pictures which I cannot view (I simply get the red X). Based upon comments from other members, they are all able to see the very same pictures. This is occuring on three seperate computers for me if that info helps at all. I really appreciate all of...
