Spencer House
Spencer House is a magnificent 18th-century private palace located in London . From its conception, Spencer House was recognised as one of the most ambitious town houses ever built in London and it is, today, the city's only great private palace from the era to survive.
Spencer House was built in 1756-66 for John, first Earl Spencer, an ancestor of Diana, Princess of Wales. Situated in the heart of St. James's, Spencer House is a short distance from Buckingham Palace, St. James's Palace and the Palace of Westminster, and has a splendid terrace and garden with wonderful views of Green Park.
Without doubt one of the most important historic buildings in London, the great beauty of Spencer House has survived despite some war damage and an extraordinary variety of occupiers from the Ladies Army and Navy Club to Christie's and the Economist Intelligence Unit.
Spencer House has regained the full splendour of its 18th-century appearance after a 10-year restoration programme by RIT Capital Partners plc, under the Chairmanship of Lord Rothschild.
Spencer House is now partly used as offices and as a place of entertainments in the historic setting of the State Rooms. Here the remarkable and accurate restoration is complemented by a grand collection of paintings and furniture specially assembled for the House, including five major Benjamin West paintings graciously lent by Her Majesty The Queen.

text: I'll make a Playlist every Sunday (atleast I'll try ;) ) of songs that I'm currently listening to / that reflect my mood or songs I feel like sharing. Today is a sunny sunday. The sun has been shining through my window all day since morning. It was beautiful, especially because I had given up on sunlight last week. I wake up in the dark, go to school in the dark and come home in the dark. But the sun woke me today and stayed. Can't believe I have to go to school tomorrow. I'm mentally preparing for a life as a vampire in the next few months. Bye Bye Sun!

Which is more addictive, heroin or nicotine?
The truth is that both are equally addictive. Research has shown that nicotine is just as addictive as heroin. The progression of addiction is the same for nicotine as it would be for heroin, or cocaine, or alcohol. The user starts with maybe just one cigarette a day, then it goes to two, then three, before they know it they are smoking a half pack a day, or more. The user's tolerance rises, requiring more nicotine to get the same "feel good" effect, and also more nicotine to avoid the withdrawal symptoms.
Nicotine is found in any tobacco product including cigarettes, cigars and chew tobacco. Most fluid used for electronic cigarettes also includes nicotine and each bottle varies in the amount.
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) says nicotine dependence is the most common form of chemical dependence in the United States. Withdrawal from nicotine dependence on nicotine can cause symptoms similar to withdrawal from other drugs, including irritability, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, insomnia, restlessness, and increased appetite. These symptoms may begin within a few hours after the last cigarette, quickly driving people back to tobacco use. Symptoms peak within the first few days of smoking cessation and usually subside within a few weeks. For some people, however, symptoms may persist for months.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (NNS) -- USS Theodore Roosevelt (TR) (CVN 71) made the move across the James River Aug. 29 to Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding in Newport News to begin the aircraft carrier's scheduled Refueling Complex Overhaul (RCOH).
During the "dead-stick" move, Sailors on the ship's bridge maneuvered the ship while it was moved by tugs en route to a dry-dock at the shipyard where it was built and commissioned nearly 25 years ago.
"RCOH is an important process for the life-span of the ship that will require the combined efforts of the shipyard and the Sailors to finish on time," said TR's commanding officer, Capt. Ladd Wheeler. "I am confident that the 'Big Stick' will complete this yard period safely and efficiently and return to the fleet in the coming years ready for full service."
A multi-year overhaul, RCOH involves the alterations, repair, maintenance, and refueling of the aircraft carrier. The RCOH enables the ship to meet future mission and continue service life requirements for approximately the next 25 years. USS Theodore Roosevelt is the fourth Nimitz-class aircraft carrier to participate in the RCOH at Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding.
Shortly after returning to Naval Station Norfolk on April 18, the ship began the process of preparing the ship for the transit to Newport News. This included making cuts in the ship's hull to accommodate removal and replacement of major ship components.
TR, along with embarked Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 8 and Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 2, completed a seven-and-a-half month deployment in April during which they deployed to the Gulf of Oman in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. The ship also made a historic visit to Cape Town, South Africa, and a port call in Portsmouth, England.
After successful completion of all mission requirements Theodore Roosevelt arrived at Naval Station Norfolk on May 30 and began the transition period from an operational front-line, surge capable aircraft carrier into a complex maintenance period where just about every space will undergo refurbishment to sustain the next 25 years of service. Referred to as the "Smart Start" period, Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding and other maintenance activities were able to get a jump start and prepare TR for entering drydock.
"The Smart Start period allowed the crew and the shipyard to begin building the foundation work on a successful RCOH," according to Cmdr. Gunter Braun, TR's chief engineer. "Based on the results the foundation for success is well-rooted."
Theodore Roosevelt, a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, was commissioned Oct. 25, 1986. The 1,092-foot ship weighs 101,000 tons and carries a crew of approximately 3,200.

All of you must be well versed with the term OSINT and it's meaning. Wikipedia defines OSINT as the data collected from publicly available sources to be used in an intelligence context. There are multiple sources and tools which help you find this information. A good example is Google dorks. However, all of these tools and information is spread across a myriad landscape. This is why people thought of having these pre-installed on operating systems for OSINT. This post is an attempt at creating a List of Free Operating Systems for Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT). As usual, let me know if I have missed any.
List of operating systems for OSINT:
- Kali Linux: Yes, I know what you are saying. How possibly can the defacto standard for penetration testing distributions be in a list of operating systems for OSINT? The fact remains that the first step in any engagement is discovering more about your target. As per the page here, following tools that can be used for OSINT are included in the latest version: acccheck, ace-voip, Amap, APT2, arp-scan, Automater, bing-ip2hosts, braa, CaseFile, CDPSnarf, cisco-torch, Cookie Cadger, copy-router-config, DMitry, dnmap, dnsenum, dnsmap, DNSRecon, dnstracer, nswalk, DotDotPwn, enum4linux, enumIAX, EyeWitness, Faraday, Fierce, Firewalk, fragroute, fragrouter, Ghost Phisher, GoLismero, goofile, hping3, ident-user-enum, InSpy, InTrace, iSMTP, lbd, Maltego eeth, masscan, Metagoofil, Miranda, nbtscan-unixwiz, Nikto, Nmap, ntop, OSRFramework, p0f, Parsero, Recon-ng, SET, SMBMap, smtp-user-enum, snmp-check, SPARTA, sslcaudit, SSLsplit, sslstrip, SSLyze, ublist3r, THC-IPV6, theHarvester, TLSSLed, twofi, Unicornscan, URLCrazy, Wireshark, WOL-E, Xplico. More are being added with every release. You know where to go if you want to download Kali.
- Buscador: Interestingly, Buscador is Spanish for "seeker". Rightly so, it is a Linux Virtual Machine that is pre-configured for online investigators. It has tools such as Custom Firefox Install and Add-Ons, Custom Chrome Install and Extensions, Tor Browser, Custom Video Manipulation Utilities, Custom Video Download Utility, Recon-NG, Maltego, Creepy, Metagoofil, MediaInfo, ExifTool, Spiderfoot, Google Earth Pro, Metadata Anylisation Toolkit, EyeWitness, EmailHarvester, theHarvester, HTTrack Cloner, Aquatone, Knock Pages, Sublist3r, Twitter Exporter, Tinfoleak , InstaLooter, BleachBit, VeraCrypt, KeePassXC, LibreOffice, VLC, PDF Viewer. At Buscador version 1.2, this is one of the most stable operating systems for OSINT. You can download Buscador version 1.2 as an ISO image or a VMWare/VirtualBox .ova file here.
- Huron: Huron or Ferret in Spanish is one of a more recent entrant in this space. Huron is a 64-Bit Debian based operating system that has tools like OSRFramework, Trape, Knock, theHarvester, Infoga, EyeWitness, Metagoofil, OperativeFramework, Tinfoleak, Instalooter, OsintFramework (hosted on a local webserver running on port 8000), Dmitry, Exiftool, Recon-ng, DataSploit, Spiderfoot, MAT, httrack, Maltego (M4-CE), Creepy, browsers with extensions pre-installed, among others. If your Spanish is not as good, you will want to change the default language to one of your choice. Oh yeah, the default password for Huron is osint:osint. Though this project is listed on GitHub, the download is linked to Mega. Get the Huron 1.0 Virtual Box image here.
- OSINTUX: This is a ElementaryOS based distribution is intended for intelligence work in open sources (OSINT). It is in Spanish (again!?) and can work as a LiveCD or be installed to a USB
drive. The list of tools included in OSINTUX is Belati v.0.2.4.1, Creepy v1.4, Crunchbase, Datasploit for OSINT, Dmitry (Deepmagic information gathering tool), Exiftool v11.03, Google Hacking Database, Infoga – Email Information Gathering vM4110k, GeoIP, Glassdoor, Knowem, Maltego v22.214.171.12445, MentionMap, Metagoofil v2.2, MrLooquer, Netcraft, Shodan, Opencorporates, Operative Framework, OSINT-Spy v0.0.1, OSRFramework v2018, OSINTFramework, PIPL, Recon-NG v4.9.3, SocialBearing, Socialmention, SpiderFoot v2.12, The Harvester v2.2a, Tineye, Tinfoleak v2.1, Twopcharts, ViewDNS, YouGetSignal, Whois. The default login is osintux:osintux Get OSINTUX (osintux-live-ver1.0.iso/osintux-ver1.0.ova) here.
- Tsurugi Linux: Tsurugi Linux is an heavily customized distribution designed to support your DFIR investigations, malware analysis and Open Source INTelligence activities. It is based on a 64 bits Ubuntu LTS (Long Time Support) and the patched kernel is based on 5.1.15 version that implements many new drivers and features. It has tools such as spiderfoot, sublist3r, tinfoleak, TorCrawl, totalhash, tweets_analyzer, URLextractor, userrecon, userrecon-py, waybackpack, WhatBreach, youtube-dl among a lot many others! Give the latest version Tsurugi Linux 2019.1 (tsurugi_lab_2019.1.iso) a run here.
About a year ago, I blogged about List of Portable Hardware Devices for Penetration Testing. I bet you can install operating systems for OSINT these on one of those devices and use it on the go. That's it from me folks!

Registering Young Latinos Key To Electoral Change In 2012
El Niño is a warm current of water creating change in the climate of the Pacific Ocean, while at the same time, hefty thunderstorms occur on the equator. This may seem insignificant, it nevertheless can have big effects on the world's climate.
Here in the U.S., there is a new El Niño-like phenomenon developing that could have big effects on the climate of upcoming elections — the emergence of our Latino population. Recently, the Pew Hispanic Center issued a report reminding us just how young our growing population is. In addition, the Pew Center reminds us that every month approximately 50,000 Latinos turn 18 and become eligible to vote — that's nearly 600,000 new eligible Latino voters each year.
Imagine the potential impacts of this El Niño phenomenon in Latino voting. In my hometown of Austin, Texas more than 70% of Latinos are 18 years and younger. In the Austin Independent School District, Latinos represent over 60% of the student population — that's 52,440 Latino students. The estimated number of eligible Latino voters in Austin is nearly 120,000; this climate shift in demographics means that Latinos can impact the political landscape of elections in local, state and national races and the odds are that El Niño could cast the winning vote.
Here's another interesting tidbit that many have either overlooked or were simply unaware: in July of 1998 the State of Texas implemented a new directive requiring high school deputy registrars. Yes, that's correct, section 14.046(a) of the Texas Election Code requires all public and private high schools to provide a deputy voter registrar and register high school students who are eligible to vote.
On December 11, 2011 each high school received a letter from the Secretary of State of Texas, reminding all high school principals of this directive. In Texas, young people may register to vote at 17 years and 10 months, but must be 18 years of age on election day to vote.
While the impact and opportunity to effect change certainly lies with los niños, instilling the cultural value and tradition of civic duty and civic responsibility that "su voto es su voz" should be all of our responsibility. There's an old grassroots saying in the Latino community, "El éxito de nuestro futuro, es la tarea de todos" (the success of our future is the homework of all). Let's hope that our Latino communities can indeed effect a climate change in Latino voting.
¡Adelante El Niño!
Paul M. Saldaña served as the Chief of Staff for the first elected Hispanic Mayor of Austin, Gus Garcia and co-founded Adelante Solutions, Inc. a local Latino public affairs consulting firm focused on representation tailored to the culture and values of the Latino community. In 2010, Adelante Solutions, Inc. transitioned to Brisa Communications, LLC.[Courtesy Photo]

BRENTWOOD — Prosecutors are trying to strike a plea deal with an accused shoplifter charged with stealing CDs from the Epping Walmart and then assaulting a police officer when he tried to flee.
BRENTWOOD — Prosecutors are trying to strike a plea deal with an accused shoplifter charged with stealing CDs from the Epping Walmart and then assaulting a police officer when he tried to flee.
Joshua Peno, 22, of Nottingham, faces charges of theft, resisting arrest, and simple assault after his arrest on Feb. 13 in the parking lot of the Walmart in the Epping Crossing shopping center.
Peno is accused of swiping DVDs valued at $1,172 and striking Epping police Officer Russell Hero in the mouth during a scuffle that was caught on store security cameras when he tried to arrest him.
Peno was scheduled to appear in the Brentwood Circuit Court for a probable cause hearing last Thursday, but the hearing was rescheduled for March 20.
Heather Newell, Epping's police prosecutor, indicated in court paperwork that efforts are being made to negotiate a plea agreement with Peno.
According to a police affidavit, Hero responded to Walmart after receiving a report that a man, later identified as Peno, was inside the store and was seen concealing DVDs by a loss prevention worker.
Hero arrived and waited outside while Peno was still inside the store.
When the loss prevention worker confronted Peno about the theft, police said he ran off with the bag of DVDs.
Hero yelled for Peno to stop running, but police said he refused and that Hero then began chasing him.
"Officer Hero was able to catch up to Joshua and grabbed his arm. Joshua at this point stated that he was done running and would walk back to the store. As Officer Hero was escorting him toward the store he looked away and at that point Joshua started to resist and began (to) run away," police said in the affidavit.
Hero chased Peno down the front access road near the grocery store entrance. He eventually grabbed Peno by the arm and brought him to the ground.
Peno allegedly resisted again by swinging his arms around when Hero tried to cuff him.
"While Officer Hero was holding onto Joshua he was able to slip out of his sweatshirt (and) at this point they stood up again and Officer Hero grabbed his other arm. While Officer Hero was pulling Joshua's sweatshirt off, Joshua's hand hit his face," the affidavit said.
Hero then threw the sweatshirt onto the ground and then brought Peno back down to the ground and placed him in an "arm bar" while ordering him to stop resisting and place his arms behind his back, the affidavit said.
When Hero attempted to handcuff him again, police said Peno was able to get away and ran back toward the parking lot where he jumped into a car.
That's when Laura Barker, owner of Barker Backhoe in Exeter, tried to lend police a hand while she was plowing the Walmart parking lot.
Barker saw Hero chasing after Peno and has said she drove her truck around the parking lot to try to help.
After Peno allegedly got into the getaway car, Barker tried to back her truck up to block the car, but she wasn't able to stop it. Police said Peno and a female driver got around the truck and fled the parking lot.
Peno was later arrested in Derry and ordered held in jail on $50,000 cash or corporate surety bond.

I guess I've been spoiled by the other awesome Birchboxes of the past.
My box contained:
Chantecaille Brilliant Gloss, 1 oz. - $33
We have it on good authority that Angelina Jolie is a big fan of these luxe glosses. While our lips may never be quite as full and luscious as her, we can report that Chantecaille's glosses are absolutely star-worthy. The non-sticky jelly formula stays put for hours and delivers a subtle plumping effect. Plus, the silver-tipped wand will look oh-so-chic in your handbag.
FINAL THOUGHT: I don't really feel the plumping factor but the color is nice. The sample size is very small, I'd say based on the product price that the sample is worth $4-5.
DDF Wrinkle Resist Plus Pore Minimizer Moisturizing Serum, 1.7 oz. - $85
This genre-bending serum uses a patented dual-phase technology to give skin double the benefits. It gives you instant gratification by hydrating skin and shrinking pores. At the same time, the peptide-packed formula exfoliates and repairs skin cells for lasting anti-aging benefits. Plus, the double helix style tube is pretty nifty.
FINAL THOUGHT: I actually like this. The sample size is fairly standard. It's a good, multi-use sample size. My pores are visibly smaller. I'd guess, based on the product price that this sample is worth $10.
Luna Bar in Lemon Zest, 15 bars - $18.75
Most people may call themselves omnivores, but we identify as snackavores. Lately, we've been stockpiling LUNA's healthy bars, which fulfill our sweet cravings and keep us full until our next meal. Each has just under 200 calories and is full of the nutrients your body needs, including calcium, folic acid, iron and vitamin D. Chocolate Peppermint Stick is a decadent blend of dark chocolate and candy cane peppermint, while Peanut Butter Cookie is full of creamy, crunchy peanut goodness.
FINAL THOUGHT: I really like the Lemon Zest bar. Actually, I liked it so much I went out and bought a box of 5 at Wal-Mart for $5. Sorry, Birchbox, your price is too high for this product. Save yourself some money, readers, and get yours elsewhere. (P.S. - the Peanut Butter Chocolate is awesome, too!) Based on in-store comparison, these bars are valued at $1/ea.
Miracle Skin Transformer SPF20 Face, $48 (No Size Listed)
We recently mastered the art of showering, shaving, and brushing our teeth at the same time. Is it any wonder that this multitasker caught our time-crunched attention? The tinted SPF 20 skin perfector performs no fewer than five functions: it moisturizes skin, creates a seamless canvas for makeup, minimize pores and fine lines, zaps excess oil, and shields skin from solar rays. Needless to say, it gets us out the door in record time.
FINAL THOUGHT: The sample size was very tiny. It was in foils, which are a single use sample. The card came with two. I didn't really see any difference than that of a normal foundation and based on the website not having a size or uses per bottle listing, I cannot pinpoint the price value.
Orifluido Elixer, 3.4 oz. - $29.99
When it comes to evaluating new hair care products, we look for the three S's: soft, shiny, strong. This fragrant serum delivers all three, making it one of our new favorites. Incidentally, since we're also suckers for that other big S, scent, we can't get enough of the amber and vanilla notes that drift up every time we flip our hair.
FINAL THOUGHT: The scent is lovely. I appreciate any product that makes my hair softer, smoother & knocks out the frizz. The product sample was well designed. The estimated .25 oz sample is in a small glass container. I got two uses out of this sample and at around $4 per 1/2 oz., this sample is worth about $2.
Conclusion:I thought about it for a while. I did some math and based on the full size product price of each of my items, my box is well over $10 in value. Based on that fact, I can't be upset at what I got - even if all of the products I received weren't to my exact liking, I still got my money's worth and then some!

Batik Paintings
Batik - The technique is thought to be more than a thousand years old, and historical evidence demonstrates that cloth decorated by means of this resist technique was in use in the early centuries AD in Africa, the Middle East, and in several places in Asia. Although there is no sure explanation as to where batik first was "invented", many observers believe that travellers brought it to Asia from the Indian subcontinent.
Melted wax is applied to cloth before this is being dipped into dye. Wherever the wax has seeped through the fabric, the dye will not penetrate. Sometimes several colors are used, with severl steps of dyeing, drying, and waxing. Thin wax lines are made with a tjanting (canting, pronounced chahn-ting) needle, a wooden-handled tool with a tiny metal cup with a tiny spout, out of which the wax seeps. Other methods of applying the wax to the fabric include pouring the liquid wax, painting the wax on with a brush, and applying the hot wax to a pre-carved wooden or metal wire block and stamping the fabric. One indication of the level of craftsmanship in a piece of batik cloth is whether the pattern is equally visible on both sides of the cloth. This indicates the application of wax on both sides, either with the canting or with mirror-image design blocks.
The finished fabric is hung up to dry. Then it is dipped into a solvent to dissolve the wax, or it is ironed between paper towels or newspapers to absorb the wax and reveal the deep rich colors and the fine crinkle lines that give batik its character.

Stuff Accumulation
How do we accumulate so much stuff? My intentions had been to sort and discard papers, items, and other non-necessities before moving. Then time and sentimentality take over.
That little cracked vase that gathers dust on a what not shelf needs to go. But, that vase was given to my mother by my son. Mother cherished that vase and kept it where she could always see it.
Should I toss it?
Or what about those algebraic equations on that legal pad? More remnants of the past. Some parents of my gifted students asked me to teach their children (sixth grade, mind you) algebra. Volunteering to enroll in an adult algebra class filled me with trepidation. Mr. Weir in high school had taught it efficiently and fast. Faster than my high school brain could absorb and comprehend. But I passed, somehow.
There was no question that to teach algebra well, I had to relearn it. That yellow legal pad attests to the fun and great accomplishment I felt in relearning algebra and being able to teach it well. But, it is just paper and needs to go. Maybe I'll have time after the move.
Right now during spring cleaning, when we are washing windows and shaking dusty rugs while listening to the lyrics of bird love songs, is a good time to unhinge ourselves from irrelevant items of the past. I keep reading about how doing that will help one spiritually.
As Rich Heffern says in Adventures in Simple Living, "It came to me while reflecting on that woodland encounter with the night that there are two very valuable spiritual gifts that simplicity gives to us. It seems the more we can strip our lives down to essentials, the more deliberately and awake we can live; with few wants and more time for silence and contemplation, the more we have access to our inner resources. The more lightly we walk on this Earth, the more she gives to us. I call these spiritual gifts inner smiling and out-goingness of the heart."
And I agree. Ridding myself of all these heavy and cumbersome material items would definitely make for a less physically stressful move. But I am not truly sure that it will lighten the emotional stress of it.
"But you will always have the memory," someone says.
How is it that holding an item will recall a smile on a son's or mother's face? Or, keeping a note from a sweetheart brings happiness when reread.
My next house is going to be humongous.
Happy to meet you through our mutual friend, Angelia, dear Ann.

Maria, it is wonderful to meet you also. Thank you for your comments. Moving has been traumatic, since I really did not want to leave the little town of New Harmony. But God seems to have plans. Wish He would let me in on the scheme!

The first of the 33 miners trapped for 69 days in a collapsed mine, half a mile underground, have been rescued. If you missed the news footage like I did, thanks to technology you can still watch it or watch it again online. What better way to celebrate Earth Science Week than by watching video of the Chilean Miners Rescue.
Another great video was forwarded me this week that I thought was worth posting is the Father and Son Film Outerspace video. Using a weather balloon, a video camera, and an iPhone, this father-and-son team managed to launch their homemade spacecraft up to nearly 19 miles into the stratosphere and capture amateur, yet impressive footage.

This movie about Joseph & Nicole's wedding day is going to be one of those movies that just gets better with time.
(something I like to say about all my films) but this one in particular is a good example of that.
If you imagine yourself in Nicole or Joseph's shoes during the clip you'll get a good scene of what that might feel like ten years from now.
I have to confess I was late getting this done for Joseph and Nicole much later then I'm comfortable with but I take solace in knowing I've created something that will stand the test of time.
A quick hats off to the grate Andria Casey of Andria Casey photography.
Enjoy Everyone :-)
I can only descried this clip with one word WILDTHING

Paul Harvey
Psalms 18
7 The earth trembled and quaked,
and the foundations of the mountains shook;
they trembled because he was angry.
8 Smoke rose from his nostrils;
consuming fire came from his mouth,
burning coals blazed out of it.
40 You made my enemies turn their backs in flight,
and I destroyed my foes.
41 They cried for help, but there was no one to save them—
to the LORD, but he did not answer.
47 He is the God who avenges me,
who subdues nations under me,
The Lord is not slack as some men count slackness but is long suffering, not wanting anyone to perish but for all to come to repentance. The founders often spoke the necessity of religion and morality as bed rock to a free society.
From Wallbuilders:
John Adams
Signer of the Declaration of Independence and Second President of the United States[I]t is religion and morality alone which can establish the principles upon which freedom can securely stand. The only foundation of a free constitution is pure virtue.
The truths of the Judeo-Christian worldview are infinitely precious, not only as I believe them, but that they're true. They are also because they alone provide the moral impulse which can lead to that peace which we all long. There is little hope for any democracy if the hearts of men and women in democratic societies cannot be touched to a call greater than themselves. Political structures, state institutions, collective ideals are not enough. We parliamentarians can legislate for the rule of law--You the church can teach the life of faith. Teach your children to be grateful for what God has provided for them, it did not come from merit but the goodness of the hands of God.
The core of democracy and freedom is faith, family and morality. The pulse of our nation has been given over to the lusts of the flesh; lust, greed, pride. Is it any wonder that our economic foundation has been shaken and our constitution forgotten, when the God who gave us that moral impulse Thatcher speaks to has been forgotten both in government and in our homes?

Sam Barnett is the 24-year-old founder and CEO of SBB Research Group — a Chicago-area quantitative hedge fund that currently has $115 million under management.
He started his fund while studying applied mathematics at California Institute of Technology.
SBB Research Group currently employs 14 people and Barnett told us that they're actively recruiting talented engineers to join their team.
What they aren't looking for right now though are investors. There's a waitlist for new ones, Barnett told us. He also said that he'd like to see the fund run more than $1 billion in assets.
While at CalTech, Barnett played in the No. 1 position on the school's varsity tennis team. Now he plays tennis professionally competing on the ATP's Challenger Tour. His highest ranking in doubles was 801 in the world at one point.
On top of running a hedge fund and playing tennis, Barnett is also in the process of earning his Ph.D. from Northwestern. He also teaches two classes at Kellogg School of Management alongside Professor Phillip Braun.
Oh, and he does karate — Barnett has a black belt in the martial art, and continues to train, though he doesn't compete.
We caught up with him over the phone yesterday and have included a transcript of our conversation below. (Note: It has been lightly edited for clarity)
Business Insider: First off, tell us how you got interested in the markets.
Sam Barnett: Well, I've been interested in the markets for quite some time. It dates back to when I was in elementary school. I was good at math and interested in this kind of stuff. I actually played in a stock-picking game in school when I was in 5th grade. That's how I get interested in the markets, first. So basically I was interested in that, but really I was studying math throughout my entire academic career and then I went to CalTech and majored in Applied Math. And really just pursuing numbers and looking for patterns in finance is a great way to apply that skill. And being able to combine numbers with competition, you know, I've enjoyed athletics my whole life and that influences my interest in finance because it basically is the perfect blend between data and keeping score.
BI: I read that when you were in high school you made $250,000. Talk to me about when you realized this is something you want to pursue.
SB: I think it was working out well. Things I was doing in practice were starting to work well in the market. And, I think when you have good results, that in itself is exciting. It's very motivating to keep pursuing and getting better results. I was always looking for new challenges.
BI: Talk to me about setting up SBB Research Group. How did this all happen?
SB: My sophomore year in college, I was basically starting an experiment to just see whether my algorithmic trading model I developed at CalTech would work. And basically it worked really well. I started with $2 million over the summer after my sophomore year. And just before the beginning of my junior year I founded SBB Research Group and decided that it was going so well that I wanted to do it for real. We made all the arrangements to, you know, have an offering starting in February the following year and doing it as professionally as possible and really taking it seriously as a business.
BI: And you run a quant-based strategy.
SB: Everything is very mathematically driven. Very disciplined. And we're constantly looking to cut our risk and outperform the market.
BI: So quant-based strategies, they seem to be one of the more polarizing subjects on Wall Street. What do you think the most misunderstood aspect of a quant strategy is by the general public?
SB: I think many people think that quant strategies inherently are riskier and quant strategies can be very much the opposite. You're relying on a disciplined strategy — a formula to invest in the market — rather than intuition and other kinds of subjective measures of how the market's doing. So in many ways, people think the quant market — the quant-driven strategies — are riskier, but, in fact, in our quant strategy we're able to limit risk much more than the other strategy.
BI: Has the low volatility environment of 2013 been good or a challenge for your quant-based strategies?
SB: I think we're able to find opportunities in every market environment and low volatility this year has been interesting. It's been different than things in the past, but one of the things that we try to do is we try to develop strategies that are theoretically able to perform in all kinds of markets, even conditions that haven't happened before. And another thing that people misunderstand about quant funds, is many quant funds rely on back-testing data as their main way of producing new strategies. But we develop strategies from a theoretical perspective also and so our strategies don't require that a particular year looks like any year in the past and that's really powerful.
BI: A lot of quant strategies fall under 1.) Trend following 2). Mean reversion 3.) Relative value. Which category do you feel that you fall under?
SB: We employ a variety of different strategies that don't exclusively fall in one category versus another. And also, I should point out that our strategies are not high-frequency. So in terms of the strategies that more typically fall into the categories you outlined are high-frequency strategies looking to capitalize on small deviations from one of those three kinds of general models. We're really looking for true outperformance. When we make a prediction, we're in particular looking to see that being realized over a business quarter — 90 to 110 days.
BI: Is there any discretionary aspect to your strategies or are they all fully systematic?
SB: Once we have a strategy online, it's a systematized strategy. When we're developing the strategy we're using discretion in terms of coming up with new ideas and trying to formulate our intuition.
BI: I want to talk a little bit more about you. Your routine. How do you manage running a fund, going to school and playing tennis professionally?
SB: First of all, I don't sleep very much, but I get through the whole day because I have a wonderful team working with me ... That really helps me organize everything and be able to accomplish everything that we're doing. On a daily basis, I go to classes and work on research during the day. I'm also taking meetings and going to work and checking on things throughout the day. I'm practicing tennis during the night. My tennis club is nice enough to let me play when the club's closed. Sometimes I'm practicing at 11 or 12 at night, so I'm able to try and get that in as well.
BI: Let's talk about your tennis career. Tell me about that and what your goal is playing professionally.
SB: I've been playing tennis competitively for many years now. I first picked up a racquet when I was five and was pretty competitive by the time I was 10 and was a top-ranked junior throughout my junior career. In high school, I was fortunate as a senior to win the state championship in doubles for Illinois. ... After that, I played in college. I was the No. 1 player in singles and doubles for CalTech. And you know I always hoped throughout my entire tennis career that I would be able to play professionally someday. I was playing really well in college and decided to try and start playing professionally. My lifetime goal was to get a world ranking and I was able to do that. Now I'm just trying to continue to improve and continue to do better and challenge myself more.
BI: Do you find that playing a sport has helped you with your trading?
SB: Absolutely. I mean I'm a competitive person so I like that aspect. I also feel like having an athletic pursuit alongside business endeavors is a good balance. I think of things for my business when I'm on the court. It's good to have that other perspective and other part of life.
BI: What advice would you give to a young person?
SB: I'd advise that someone focus on the skills in the area that they're really interested in more so than the actual job or actual application that they think they want to do. I've built my career thus far on developing mathematical expertise. I was really interested in playing with data and numbers and that gave me the tools that I needed to launch an algorithmic hedge fund. So I always suggest that people focus on developing skills and studying things that really interest them and also to just keep learning all the time. People ask me all the time 'Why are you still in school? Why are you in the Ph.D. program?' and I just tell them that there are so many more things to learn and continuing to hone skills and staying on the cutting edge of research and academia is so important as well.
BI: Speaking of learning, in your experience has there been a major lesson you've learned?
SB: I think that's also something that connects very strongly with athletics. There are wins and losses in everything. You try so many different strategies and you're trying all these different mathematical ideas and not everything works and it's important to be patient and to continue looking for really successful ideas when you encounter failure.

Sir Hew Strachan, an expert on the history of war, says that the president's strategic failures in Afghanistan and Syria have crippled America's position in the world.
President Obama is "chronically incapable" of military strategy and falls far short of his predecessor George W. Bush, according to one of Britain's most senior military advisors.
Sir Hew Strachan, an advisor to the Chief of the Defense Staff, told The Daily Beast that the United States and Britain were guilty of total strategic failure in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Obama's attempts to intervene on behalf of the Syrian rebels "has left them in a far worse position than they were before."
The extraordinary critique by a leading advisor to the United States' closest military ally comes days after Obama was undermined by the former Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who questioned the President's foreign policy decisions and claimed he was deeply suspicious of the military.

The ambitious Pacific Coast Spirits brings urban distilling to Oceanside
Grape vodka, heirloom corn bourbon, and a plan to malt its own barley
Ian Anderson 3 p.m., Dec. 12
Title: What We're Eating Address: www.whatwereeating.com Author: Amanda and Tyler From: Ocean Beach Blogging since: July 2005 Post Date: January 5, 2007 Post Title: Orgasmic Mac-n-Cheese
T: I gotta say, Amanda, this mac-n-cheese was out of this world. I believe it came from another planet. It was outrageously tasty. A: Why, thank ya, Mister T! Mac-n-cheese happens to be one of those foods that I find totally decadent and just absolutely love (when it's made well).
T: I grew up eating boxed mac-n-cheese, like, 95 percent of the time. I never had much real mac-n-cheese. And when I did, it was not creamy at all.
A: I grew up with a similar mac-n-cheese experience. On occasion, my dad would make mac-n-cheese and throw in tomatoes and good cheddar, but it was always dry and gritty. A common outcome when you don't use the béchamel-based cheese sauce and just try to toss the macaroni with some cheese and bake it.
T: Yeah, that's the way I would have thought to do it...make some box mac-n-cheese and throw some cheddar on there or boil some macaroni and then just put cheddar on it. Either way, I'd be sucking.
A: I'm sure if you did any research before you made it, you wouldn't do that. There are tons of recipes out there.
T: If I did any research. Chances are, if I were doing this, it would be two in the morning, and I would have had a few ice-cold Natural Light beers, and I wouldn't be sensible enough to "do research."
A: Heard that! Fortunately, you have me.
T: I want more of this mac-and-cheese.
A: I actually wasn't sure if you would like this one as much as previous ones, since you still aren't mushrooms' biggest fan.... My inspiration for this one was the earthiness found in mushrooms (and truffle oil).
T: I don't know, I like mushrooms in the right scenario...just don't want to sit around and eat them raw. But I was a massive fan of this mac-and-cheese. Like, OMG, Mandy, that was the best mac-n-cheese I've had. I give it a 4.9 out of 5. You've got mac-n-cheese nailed.
A: Damn, yo! That's a crazy high score! I was a huge fan of the dish too. Maybe not a 4.9-out-of-5 fan, but, still, I give this one a 4.75 out of 5, which happens to be a pretty damn high rating.
T: If I'm not mistaken, that's the highest score we've ever given anything on this blog.
A: Hmmm...I feel like I remember one other meal that might have scored higher, but I can't think of what it was.
T: I'm sure it had plenty of cheese in it. Cheese helps anything get a higher score. Cheeeeese. Back to the mac-n-cheese...
A: Yeah, so there is only one thing I would do to this dish if I could afford it -- use real truffle and not truffle oil! But, seeing as how I'm currently in search of new employment, that can't really happen.
Wild Mushroom Macaroni and Three Cheeses with Truffle Oil, by Amanda
1-1/2 cups sliced crimini mushrooms, 1-1/2 cups sliced shitake mushrooms, 2 tbsp oil or bacon fat, 1-1/2 tbsp sherry vinegar, 3 tbsp butter, 3 tbsp flour, 3 cups whole milk, 4 oz. herb chèvre (crumbled), 4 oz. sharp cheddar (shredded), 4 oz. Parmigiano Reggiano (separated into two 2-oz. piles, 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, 2 tsp fresh rosemary (minced), 1 tsp fresh sage (minced), 3 tbsp white truffle oil (yes, this is some rich mac-n-cheese), 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes, 1/2 cup panko, 8 oz. elbow pasta, kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place a large pot of water over high heat and cover. Place a large sauté pan with 2 tbsp oil or lard over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the mushrooms to the pan and sauté for 7 to 10 minutes or until the mushrooms are fully cooked and slightly caramelized. Toss or stir occasionally. Season with a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper and then deglaze the pan with sherry vinegar. Allow all of the vinegar to cook out and then remove the mushrooms from the pan and set aside.
Cheese sauce: Add 3 tbsp butter to a medium-sized saucepan and place the pan over medium heat. Once all the butter is melted and hot, whisk in 3 tbsp flour. Cook the flour, whisking, for about 30 seconds, just long enough to get rid of the raw flour taste, but not long enough for the flour to start caramelizing. Add the thyme, rosemary, sage, and red pepper flakes. Continue stirring and allow the herbs to sauté for about another 30 seconds. Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously, so the roux and milk incorporate smoothly and there are no lumps. Allow the béchamel to come to a simmer (it won't gain its full thickness until it does), stirring occasionally.
While waiting for the sauce to come to a simmer, start the pasta. Liberally salt the pot of boiling water with a few handfuls of salt. Add the pasta to the water and cook for a minute or two less than the suggested time on the box.
Once the béchamel has reached a simmer, stir in the chèvre, cheddar, 2 oz. of Parmigiano, and truffle oil until all the cheese has melted. Turn off the heat and taste the sauce for seasoning levels. Season with salt and pepper to taste. In small mixing bowl, mix together the panko and remaining 2 oz. of Parmigiano Reggiano.
Strain the pasta once it's finished cooking. In a mixing bowl, toss the pasta, cheese sauce, and mushrooms together. Pour the macaroni and cheese into a deep glass or ceramic loaf pan and sprinkle the panko/Parmigiano mixture evenly across the top. Bake the mac-n-cheese in the upper part of the oven for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the topping is golden and the cheese sauce is bubbly. Serve hot. Enjoy!

Only Solid Poplar Wood
Beautiful and strong, poplar wood is also the superior wood of choice in saunas for health-minded people. Health professionals and toxicologists recommend it over all other choices.
Poplar wood is also the preferred wood for benches in traditional Scandinavian saunas over cedar because it does not splinter.
- Eco-friendly & Sustainable: poplar trees only take about 50 years to grow (compared with 200-350 years for a cedar tree)
- None of the strong odors of cedar, spruce, hemlock, or basswood (so will not promote allergies with long-term exposure)
Top-Tier Construction Standards
Our poplar wood is the highest grade found anywhere in the world. We meticulously source it from Europe, selecting only the best for its consistent color and lack of imperfections. Our wood is then carefully dried using the latest methods in combination kiln and air-drying.
- No plywood or particle-board because the glues off-gas formaldehyde (present in most other saunas)
- No other kinds of wood used anywhere (other saunas use cheap wood in non-visible places)
- Non-formaldehyde based glues
- Double-walled, tongue and groove joinery
Lowest Total EMF Heaters
We mitigated ALL of the EMF in our heaters. Other saunas may claim their heaters are low EMF, but actually have high electric fields, which are just as important to mitigate as magnetic fields.
Bio-Resonance™ Heaters
Our infrared heaters are famous for their proven detoxification, high reliability, and high power efficiency. In addition to detoxification, our infrared heaters are known for cardio-vascular benefits, pain relief, relaxation, skin health, and aiding in weight-loss among other things.
And our heaters do not emit near infrared so you do not need to worry about any of the risks associated with near infrared, such as harm to your eyes.
Fresh Air Fan
This High Tech Health exclusive feature maximizes oxygen and minimizes carbon dioxide in the cabin. In the enclosed space of a sauna, carbon dioxide levels rise rapidly and it is important to keep the air healthy to maximize the body's ability to detoxify itself.
Without fresh air, other saunas can leave you feeling tired and claustrophobic.
LED Lighting
LED lighting is the longest lasting and most power-efficient of all lighting choices. The included LED bulb is a warm-white color. The lighting utilizes a typical A19 light bulb socket enabling you to switch out the bulb to match your preferences -- from incandescent, to day-light white LED, or even exchange it for a color-changing bulb and get chromotherapy.
Stereo Speakers Included
Your sauna includes built-in stereo speakers. RCA jacks on the roof of the sauna enable you to connect the speakers to your favorite audio amplifier and source.

Shipping & Delivery
All saunas are shipped pre-paid freight by truck from Colorado, using a major carrier. Our saunas typically ship within a day or two of your order and take 7 to 9 working days to reach pretty much anywhere in the continental United States. Your sauna will be delivered curb-side on a pallet.
Since the boxes will be heavy, we recommend you un-box them where they are delivered and carry them in piece-by-piece to the location you want your new sauna to be. Transcend saunas need to be placed inside.
Warranty & Money Back Guaranty
Protected by a 5 year warranty from manufacturing defects covering the wood, heaters, and heating electronics.
We are so confident that you will be thrilled with your purchase, we offer a 30-day money back guaranty (less shipping charges). We do not charge any restocking fees.

your mama is a lucky lady to have received this delicious vegan quiche! it is gorgeous.ReplyDeleteReplies
Awww thanks Caitlin - I am pretty lucky to have her ;)Delete
I love that you came up the concept of mini quiches to enjoy with your mom! We considered taking our Mom out to a restaurant for brunch on Mothers Day but then we decided that a breakfast made by her daughters with love and eaten in the comfort of her own home would be a much nicer treat!ReplyDeleteReplies
I agree, having brunch/breakfast at home is so much better, the only thing missing was my sister - but she will be home for our next mothers day breakfast!Delete
Those are some very gorgeous mini quiches. all those colors, the bright light, greens and a perfectly baked quiche! That sounds like a sweet mom's day.ReplyDelete
My moms far far away. but hopefully will visit this year and get pampered by me for a few days before I let her take over the kitchen:) Moms are the sweetest for sure.Replies
Awww thanks Richa - I love the colors too!Delete
I am sure your mom could feel your love across the ocean yesterday - Moms are definitely the sweetest :) I hope your Mom gets to come see you soon!
This looks delicious, but I was wondering if you had any suggestions for people with an aversion to nuts. Obviously I could use a different non-dairy milk, but the two cups of cashews...ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Kele!Delete
You could increase the Firm Tofu to take place of the 2 cups of nuts - you may need to play around with the liquid ratios slowly adding the water and milk to ensure it isn't too runny or way to thick - it should be pourable but not gushing :)
so pretty! pinning.ReplyDelete
Loving this!ReplyDelete
Great idea on combining tofu with cashews!!!! ;D Yum!Replies
This was my first time using cashews with the tofu and I absolutely loved it!Delete
Your mom is so lucky these look so delicious!!ReplyDeleteReplies
I am so lucky to have a wonderful Mom that I was able to make these for :)Delete
Girl, you make the fanciest food! I love it!ReplyDeleteReplies
LOL I am not so sure about fancy, but I'll take it coming from you!Delete
Oh these are just the cutest! I love anything mini and these are gorgeous. Beautiful colours! Your mom is a lucky lady :)ReplyDelete
I've made vegan quiche before, but wasn't completely in love with it- then again I used all tofu- love the idea of combining the tofu with cashews. Will definitely have to try that! Can just imagine the richness and creaminess it would give the quiches.
Glad to hear you had a lovely time with your mom :)Replies
We are pretty lucky to have her :)Delete
My first attempt about a year ago making vegan quiche was a complete fail - I used all tofu and and did nothing for me, it was really runny too, needless to say it took me another year to attempt another vegan quiche and I am so glad i did...the Agar agar helped firm up the quiche which help with the consistency - the leftovers were great too!
I am so happy you had such a lovely mothers day my friend :DReplyDelete
As for this recipe - quiches and mini food are my weakness so together, I wil not stop eating them :D
Choc Chip UruReplies
Me too, mini foods are so much fun and adorable :)Delete
Oh my gosh, this is awesome! At first I thought, 'vegan quiche? No way!' but you absolutely pulled it off! These sound amazing.ReplyDelete
Also, I laughed so hard at "running around the kitchen with tofu in your hair and smelling like garlic" - that sounds so like me!
Sounds like a wonderful Mother's day, I bet your mom was very happy! :)Replies
This was my first vegan quiche success! I am so happy with the way they turned out - the greens were amazing!Delete
I cannot tell you the number of times that I am a disaster by the time my guests arrive....they are use to it by know and all I can do is either laugh or plan a menu that can easily be prepped the day before :)...I left out sweating like a banchee from running around with the stove and oven going ;)
This recipe sounds awesome, but I really wanted to comment to say your photos are lovely!ReplyDeleteReplies
You just made my day with your comment- you are so sweet!Delete
I love the mini versions... how thoughtful since most moms wouldn't have some time to spend in the gym. Mini versions would really be a big help. ;) Thanks for sharing!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you! I am so glad that you enjoyed the post :)Delete
I love how the quiches use tofu + cashews instead of an egg! I want to make this for my next family gathering :)ReplyDeleteReplies
The Cashews totally brought this vegan quiche to a whole nother level - I hope you and your family anjoy them as much as we did!Delete
If I call myself your mom, would I get a quiche all for myself??? :) *batting eyelashes*ReplyDeleteReplies
You don't even need to call yourself anything but Cara to get one of these little quiches all to yourself :) I'll even make it gluten free for you!Delete
Beautiful pallette, baby quiches aand tablescape.Um, Your momsounds very nice, I am recently up for adoption.ReplyDeleteReplies
Please send me your application for adoption and a big box of vegan chocolate chip cookies (I heard the chocolate chips cookies would give you the edge over all other candidates)Delete
Thank you thank you thank you for this recipe! :) I love the idea of quiche, but I truly have hated eggs since I was about 2. I've avoided quiche because I just really cannot stomach eggs. But these quiches look amazing! Cashews and tofu = brilliant! So much flavour. They are awfully pretty too! :) Cannot wait to try this one. xoxoReplyDeleteReplies
Your welcome, welcome WELCOME! xoxoDelete
I want these right now! They are so adorable and you make the crust look so easy (crusts are my nemesis). I love that they are easily reheatable too.ReplyDeleteReplies
This crust is SO easy Kristy, you couldn't mess it up if you tried!Delete

Sulfur salt is a type of Salt that has a "eggy" smell/taste, I like the Spice Lab Sulfur Salt and can be purchased through Amazon :)Delete

Antiques Amber was founded in 1972 by Paul Wagemans. He started out searching for antique furniture on the French, English and German countryside. Soon he got the demand from clients to also search for architectural antiques. This combination was a success and the projects grew in size. During this period the same clients started asking for new timberwork with a old patina. Paul met this demand by using the wood from old oak beams for the construction of stairs, doors, panelling and even complete kitchens.
Today the family company has grown to a reputed house for architectural antiques and interior architecture. There clients are as well professionals as private builders from Europe and the United States. Aside to
the collaboration with well known mansion builders, decorators and antique dealers they take on two or
three private total projects every year. The interior architect of Amber draws out the plans and after a three dimensional presentation fixed prices are set. After approval the team starts out with floors and chimneypieces. After this the stairs, kitchen and other wall fixed furniture are placed and finally they furnish the rooms and integrate the antique furniture and objects which usually are already chosen before the plans are drawn.
All clientele is encouraged to participate in the 'open doors' policy of Amber. This means that the client can follow up the complete process of choosing, restoration and placement of the objects of his or her choice. During this, all participants are in close contact which results in a very individual and a high quality end result. Or as Paul puts it, " We concentrate on craftsmanship and traditional measure work: quality work that is getting very rare in our age of industrialisation and uniformity. Quality that you can also find in many old objects and often go together with an almost natural beauty. A timeless appearance which is not only, but mainly accomplished by the love for the craft."

If you do not see your color listed on this chart:
The samples which we match our colors to have been obtained from upholstery and trim sample books, provided by or authorized by, the individual car makers. If you do not see your color listed here, it may be due to the fact that we do not have an accurate sample to match to. Some of the samples that we have in our library have been collected from actual vehicles already in service. These samples may have been collected by our field technicians as they performed restoration services on theses cars, or by the actual owners, wishing to perform restorations themselves. These samples have been collected from inconspicuous areas and are free from dirt, wear and fading. If you wish to send us a sample of a color that is not listed, please feel free to do so. You will not only get the exact color for your vehicle, but you will also be helping others with the same situation by aiding us in providing exact color matches for even the most obscure colors. If you do wish to send a sample, our address and contact information may be found here.

LAWSUIT AND SWORN TESTIMONY REVEAL LENNAR CONSPIRACY ORCHESTRATED BY CEO MILLER--Lennar is a company that will stop at nothing to make money. The management has a "win at all costs" mentality that causes them to cross far over the lines of ethical business practices, into downright malicious, vindictive, unethical and sometimes illegal behavior.
This post was found on Lennar complaints in reference to Nicholas Marsch and his related entity, in January of 2009 in Florida.
We urge you to post any complaints/problems that you have experienced with your Lennar/Greystone home. Watch for new complaints/problems every day.
I understand what you are going through. I purchased a home from Lennar almost 6 years ago and we still have a boarded up front door. We are stuck with $100k in construction defects. To make my story even worse is the fact that I worked for Lennar. Contact me with your story and I will post it on my website that I am currently putting together. Be careful with "their help". We spent 5 years in litigation and all that happened was more expert costs, and lawyer costs, to the point that we received nothing for our construction defects.
I want to hear your stories. We all need to hear your stories in hope to make it right.

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has."
- Margaret Mead
Well thanks for that post, Mr. Tommy.
Good Job! We've purchased an energy-efficient, Energy-Star rated home from Southwest Homes, Pardee, KB and Pulte. We experienced energy savings!!! Lennar marketed and advertised their Enery Star certification but failed to produce an air-conditioning system that would cool!!!Even if you pay $300.00 per month!!!
Lets hope our Government agency will jump on this complaint! Lennar Lies!!

Etch is a really popular product. It is a vinyl, but one that is not totally opaque (blocking out light). It comes in a number of colour ways and has a light, slightly glittery, effect. It gives privacy without losing light.
There are other products on the market - mirrored one way film for example - but what they all have in common is that they really need a professional to install it. It is devilishly difficult to apply. It used to be applied using a trade application fluid (and there are those of us that still prefer that method) but the new modern vinyls have anti bubble adhesive. Sounds easy, but it really isn't. Its one of those 'Generation Game' type challenges regardless of the number of YouTube videos you watch.
As a mostly mail-order business, we often have to manage customers expectations of their skills in applying etch. Often, as a subtle window sticker rather than a full covering works just as well.
What do you think? These pictures look pretty stunning. If you would like an etch design created please get in contact with us.
