It's summer and it's damn hot outside. This is the time to have a barbeque and enjoy some afternoon drinking or throw a party on a roof somewhere. Free Energy is your soundtrack for these occasions. The band, who signed to DFA where James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem produced their debut album Stuck On Nothing,is shameless rock and roll – powerful riffs, pump up lyrics, and songs that are catchy as hell.
The opening song on the album, also titled "Free Energy", opens with the lyrics, "We're breaking out this time / making out with the wind." You know what you're in for. "All I Know" features T. Rexian strings and the type of touching swagger that Marc Bolan would be proud of.
"Hope Child" opens with the strong, distorted chords you have come to expect at this point in the album. What makes the song stand out is the surprising affect it had on me when it slowed down – the repeated refrain "You're not alone" hits because it's a break in the music, but it's also one of the few spots of inspirational vulnerability on the album. Free Energy is not breaking any new ground with their sound, but they're fun - "Bang Pop" has a chorus meant for a road trip sing-along (a la the beginning of That 70's Show).
Beware of seeing them live because they will melt your face right off. Some people think that rock and roll is dead; if that's true, then Free Energy is the zombie president that rules all because it looks so goddamn human. Lead singer Paul Sprangers discusses muscles and girls below.
Have you seen, heard, or read anything that you would like to recommend to our readers (film, art, music, literature)?
I just read Utopia or Oblivion by Buckminster Fuller. It's pretty incredible. He warns of the dangers of over-specification in one's education, like how modern universities push students to narrow their focus of study on very particular subjects, instead of promoting what he calls comprehensive learning-where one is encouraged to see how all disciplines and facets of education are connected and necessarily linked. The other thing is--he believes in the survival of humanity. He believes that war, i.e. the extreme manifestation of human fear, is based on a once-justifiable but now antiquated notion that there is a lack of resources (food, water, shelter) for all humans. He argues that with modern industrialization we have solved this problem, but have yet to dismantle the fossilized systems (government, organized religion) that now stand in the way of our collective growth.
Why DFA?
Why not?
What was it like working with James Murphy?
Really incredible. It was the first time we collaborated with someone who we really could trust and lean on. He pushed us and he made us take our ideas more seriously--and at a certain point, as a producer, it didn't matter to him what we played as much as that we just commit to the playing and expression of our music--as a producer he wanted to hear our ideas expressed clearly and deliberately. This idea seems simple now, but it was pretty enlightening.
What is your songwriting process like?
Working on anything else?
My biceps. My attitude. Hanging out with cute girls.

I have had something like this happen to me many times when I was out camping or fishing at night. Every time for me it was just a case of some idiots not being aware of their surrounding. If they were close enough I would shout out letting them know someone was there. If they were to far for shouting I would fire a round into the ground with my snubbie 44 spcl.
In my opinion you increased your danger by not notifying them of your presence.

Daily 3-Bet: Premier Sizzle, Antonio Goes Street, Putt Putt Perfection
The PokerListings Daily 3-Bet is a clear line, a dirt-free ball and the truest of putts through the afternoon poker news windmill.
Got a tip for a future 3-Bet? Drop a note in the comments and we'll gladly take a look.
Today in the 3-Bet we find the fantastic-looking Party Poker Premier League 7 ready to air, Antonio Esfandiari getting back to his street (magic) roots and a mini Putt Putt documentary brings tears to our eyes.
1) Premier League 7 Looks Fun
If you don't know who won the already filmed Party Poker Premier League 7, we won't ruin it for you here.
But even if you know who wins, this sizzle reel should draw you in for a look tonight in the UK (it airs on SkySports 3 at 11 pm).
Simply put, it looks like what televised poker should be. Engaging. Spirited. High quality. Unpredictable. And with a bit of rancor among tablemates.
Truth be told we've always been a bit confused by the Premier League scoring system but it looks like it was simplified a bit this time for us less-than-Nate Silvers out there.
Lineup rundown: PokerListings favs Jason Koon, Dan "Jungleman12" Cates, Antonio Esfandiari, Phil Laak, Vanessa Selbst, Jonathan Duhamel and Dan Shak along with intriguing newcomers Dan Colman, Jeff Gross and Brian Rast.
Vets Scott Seiver and Sorel Mizzi round things out. Check the sizzle below:
2) OMG OMG OMG. Antonio Esfandiari Doing Street Magic!
Speaking of enticing sizzle reels ... how about Antonio Esfandiari doing street magic!
Why we're so completely thrilled to watch this when it comes out tomorrow we're not entirely sure. Maybe it's that all this time we've known his as "The Magician" but never seen him actually dabble in the black arts.
It's like a full Vegas circle of life completed of something. Check the Vine vid via the tweet below:
Wednesday people! I'm bringing magic back to the streets Vegas! Stay tuned-Here's a little preview of what's 2 come. http://t.co/0bSF6phlE8
— Antonio Esfandiari (@MagicAntonio) March 4, 2014
3) Putt Putt Perfection Doc is Putt Putt Perfect
Anyone else on the East Coast grow up watching the Professional Putt Putt tour on Saturday afternoons?
As a 10-year-old who dabbled in a bit of adventure mini-putt (mostly two-week family summer binges in Myrtle Beach) it was basically the equivalent to the early days of the WSOP on ESPN.
Grainy. Slightly mysterious. And full of slightly odd middle-aged white guys. But so utterly captivating you couldn't possibly look away.
As purveyors of the mini-documentary form ourselves we couldn't resist this phenomenal piece of work by illustrator Mickey Duzyj and the team at VictoryJournal.com.
The story: IT manager Rick Baird's legendary round of perfect putt-putt golf, only the third score of 18 in the Professional Putters Association's 50-year history of putt-putt tournament competition.
Watch, and try not to tear up a little yourself:

English game wrestling with beauty and the beast
By Martyn Herman
LONDON (Reuters) - Even by the hyperbolic standards of English soccer the opening skirmishes of the new season have provided a dizzying overdose of the good, the bad and the downright ugly sides of what was once referred to as the beautiful game.
The past week alone has provided a tumultuous microcosm of a season that is not even three months old.
Arsenal's incredible 7-5 League Cup victory over Reading having trailed 4-0, not to mention Chelsea's 5-4 defeat of Manchester United in the same competition, illustrated exactly why English football is so addictive.
Luis Suarez's "pantomime villain" performance for Liverpool in last weekend's Merseyside derby, complete with his comical self-mocking dive in front of Everton boss David Moyes, added a much-needed dash of humour to a day that ended with another racism saga unfolding and more on-field theatrics.
Chelsea's 3-2 Premier League defeat at home to Manchester United last Sunday veered from being a "classic" of its time to yet more ammunition for those who believe English soccer is hurtling out of control into the abyss.
Mark Clattenburg, one of England's elite referees, sent off two Chelsea players, the second, Fernando Torres, for apparent diving and was later accused of using "inappropriate language" directed at Nigerian John Obi Mikel.
The cake was egged still further by a nasty injury to a pitch-side steward as Chelsea's fans vented their anger at United's celebrations of their late winner.
A Football Association investigation into the so-far unsubstantiated allegations of racist language by Clattenburg to Mikel has begun. Continued...

It's been a while since I've really changed my makeup so I haven't done a 'Daily Makeup' post in awhile. I thought I'd tie this in with my Beauty Haul video coming today. I've almost got a whole new makeup routine here so it's definitely worthy of a post!
I've been trialling the Bobbi Brown Extra Soothing Balm * recently, it's a soothing balm that can be used anywhere a little hydration is needed. I've been applying a tiny amount on my skin before primer to ensure makeup stays fresh and glowing all day – especially on those areas around the nose and dab a bit on my lips. You can also pat it on top of makeup for a glowing finish. Afterwards I've been using the Laura Mercier Oil Free Foundation primer, I hadn't really given this a chance until lately, I always thought it was a little over-hyped (and perhaps it is) but I like that it keeps makeup fresh and flawless looking all day. It doesn't do much for pores and smoothing over in my opinion, but definitely a winner in terms of priming.
For my base, I'm using my new Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser in Nude; this is another product everyone loves and I have to admit, it's really lightweight and gives a healthy finish. I like this as it's still quite creamy and covers imperfections but it doesn't feel like you're wearing anything.
Another Laura Mercier product I've been a fan of recently is the Secret Concealer in 2. It took me a while to get in to this as it's a creamy product, much thicker than what I'm used to, but now I've worked it out I can't imagine using anything else. It's great for blemishes, under eye dark circles and redness and stays put all day. I then brush on a small amount of the By Terry Hyaluronic Hydra Powder, an absolutely dream of a product! I'm not one for using powders but this little wonder locks in moisture and smooths over pores, lines and imperfections leaving the most flawless base. I was sold on this when I was given a demonstration in store and I haven't looked back – it keeps makeup fresh all day and my skin looks beautiful no matter what base I've gone for.
I then move on to cheeks and combine the Chantecaille Cheek Shade in Mood with the Dior Amber Diamond Poudre Shimmer for a bright, awake look to my skin. Mood gives my skin a really sculpted look and lasts all day and Amber Diamond is my current go to highlighter as it's very subtle on my skin.
I then slick on Anastasia Tinted Brow Gel in Granite to comb through my brows and give them some definition. I love this as it's so simple to use, takes all over a minute and whittles down my eyebrow routine to just one product. These are really great and I highly recommend them if you like shaping your brows. I've also been trialling the Urban Decay Naked Basics palette * and I'm really pleased with it – some may say it's a little dull and I do mix the shades but it's a handy compact for day wear. For my lashes I use only one product, my favourite Clinique High Impact Extreme Volume mascara * – I never feel like I need anything else, this gives volume, curl and definition without looking too much or smudging.
Finally, my new go to lip colour is MACs Peach Blossom, a lovely Cremesheen formula that adds a soft blue-toned rose pink to my lips. Perfect for everyday use!
What do you think of my current daily makeup? Anything here you've tried?

While the tabloid didn't give out anything in the way of specs, it is expected that the Amazon tablet will come to market sans camera, but with a 9 inch screen. If the report is on target, the combination of the low price and the cost-cutting could make the tablet more of a competitor to the $249 Barnes and Noble Nook Color than the higher priced and higher spec'd tablets from Apple, Samsung, Motorola, HTC and others. Vizio has recently offered a tablet for $299 and Tony Berkman, CEO of ITG Investment Research said that Android tablets are starting to take some marketshare away from Apple and lower price offerings can only help that momentum conitnue.
For Amazon, selling a low-priced tablet might allow it to expand distribution of its Appstore, Cloud Player, Instant Video and other services that normally won't work on the e-paper display on Amazon's Kindle devices. Speaking of Kindle, Amazon is expected to push the Kindle reader Android app on the tablet.
Amazon is planning on launching two more Kindle devices along with the tablet, one of which will have an e-paper screen. By offering both e-readers and a low-priced tablet, Amazon is apparently betting that the e-readers will continue to sell well to those who love to read, as opposed to the tablet buyers who usually have more wide-spread interests than just books.

Buchholz's Perfect Sixth Inning; Nine Pitches, Nine Strikes
The Boston Red Sox may be a huge disappointment this year, but they had a bright spot last night in pitcher Clay Buchholz.
Clay Buchholz pitched an absolute perfect, flawless sixth inning against the Baltimore Orioles. Nine pitches, nine strikes, three strikeouts.
According to STATS Inc., this was only the 47th time in MLB history that a pitcher has pitched a nine pitch, three strikeout inning.
Now if only the rest of the Red Sox pitching staff can be as good, the Red Sox will probably still miss the playoffs, but they won't look so bad doing it.

Mueller Planetarium hosts April 4 premiere of NET's telescope documentaryApr 2nd, 2009 | By tfedderson2 | Category: April 2, 2009, Arts & Entertainment, Issue
Mueller Planetarium, in partnership with NET Television, will present a preview of the documentary "400 Years of the Telescope: A Journey of Science, Technology and Thought" at noon and 4 p.m. April 4. The preview is part of the 2009 International Year of Astronomy.
The film offers a journey chronicling the history of the telescope from the time of Galileo, its profound impact on the science of astronomy, and how both have shaped the way humans view themselves in the midst of an infinite universe. The 25-minute preview screenings are open to the public. General museum admission (free for faculty, staff, students and their immediate family) will be required. The documentary is slated to air on NET-2 at 7 p.m. April 13. For additional air dates, go to www.netnebraska.org.
The International Year of Astronomy celebrates the 400th anniversary of Galileo's use of the telescope to reveal the unseen heavens to humanity. This presentation is offered in conjunction with the 100 Hours of Astronomy cornerstone event April 2-4. Also participating in the "100 Hours" project is Hyde Memorial Observatory. For more information, go to www.hydeobservatory.info/.
To create "400 Years of the Telescope," the Interstellar Studios production team traveled across five continents to interview leading astrophysicists and cosmologists who explain concepts ranging from Galileo's act of revealing the cosmos with a simple telescope, to the latest discoveries in space, including startling new ideas about life on other planets and dark energy – a mysterious vacuum energy that is accelerating the expansion of the universe.
Mueller Planetarium is part of the University of Nebraska State Museum (Morrill Hall). For more information, go to www.museum.unl.edu.

Sensor Keys Make A Piano Sound Like A String Instrument [Video]
Tech-enabled keyboard takes the electronic instrument closer to the quality of physical strings.
Touchkeys are sensor overlays that attach to any keyboard. They enable pianists to create sounds that are typically attributed to stringed instruments such that instead of just pressing the keys, the pianist can waggle, vibrate, or change the timbre. Each key is fitted with sensors that can detect touch, giving the player the ability to create the sounds and pitch of string instruments foreign to the traditional piano. The creator plans to launch a Kickstarter campaign later this month.
Andrew McPherson equipped his keys with 26 sensors enabling them to read his fingers' touch like a smartphone would. Being able to read his fingers' position enables the instrument to respond by bending the pitch or doing a vibrato.
We love this innovation not only because of how it augments an instrument, but because most producers that work "in the box" (i.e. without analog instruments) often complain about the sound quality of plug-ins and filters when it comes to recreating violin or guitar tones. This innovation brings us nearer to making digital compositions have the same expressive quality of their analog counterparts.

UPDATE: 4/18/14 I finally got tuned at BrenTuning in Charlton MA.
With 93 octane, my car made 300whp at 325wtq on Bren's Mustang dyno. Getting tuned by Bren was hands down the best money I have spent on the car so far. After spending the weekend visiting family in the Worcester area, my drive back home to VT on sunday over VT RT9 through the mountains was a blast. Before, I would have to really work the car over some of the steeper grades downshifting from 5th to 4th and even 3rd.. On my trip home after getting tuned I could now climb the steeper grades in 5th gear no problem. For those of you that have ever been on the King Da Ka roller coaster in Jersey; you know how quick that thing accelerates? Yeah well, thats the only way I can describe how fast the wrx is now lol.
If you are looking into getting your car wrenched on or tuned I definitely recommend BrenTuning. I will definitely be going back in the future for stage 2.5!

This is a great birth story, published with permission, of a woman who had a cesarean for "small pelvis" and then VBACed a larger baby at home! Since she is a neonatal nurse, it's interesting to read why she chose HBAC and how she thinks her birth would have gone differently had she labored in a hospital.
I just wanted to let everyone know that I gave birth to a healthy baby girl Wednesday June 11th. I had a C/S with my son 2 years ago.
He was 8lbs 2oz and I was told that my pelvis wasn't big enough to birth an 8lb baby. Well my VBAC baby was 9lbs 2 oz. Exactly a pound bigger than they told me. I knew I wasn't broken.
I chose to have a homebirth because I felt I would always have to fight for what I wanted in the
hospital. My labor went great. Started around 3am contractions coming 10 minutes apart. Then progressed to 3-5 min apart at around 6:30am.
My midwife got there around 7:30am. Later I wanted to go into the birthing tub to try to get through the contractions. My midwife wanted to check to see how far I was. 4cm and 100% effaced. She told me to try to hold off on the tub because it would be better when I am
further in labor. I then took a hot shower.
For me the contractions were more bearable standing up. When one would come on I would bend my knees and lean over onto either the couch, my bed or my husband. The worse position for me to labor on was my back and my side.
After the shower I asked if I could go into the tub again. She checked me and I was 6cm with a bulging bag. I did go into the tub which for me didn't make much difference in the contractions. But at that point I stayed in there for quite a while because it took too much energy for me to
For me the worse part was going from 6 cm to complete. I thought it would have been the pushing part but it wasn't. In the tub I did feel like pushing a little bit. We couldn't tell if my water had broken since I was in the tub. I decided to get checked in the tub to see if the water had indeed broken and plus since I was feeling "pushy." Still at 6cm but the bag was bulging more.
They think that was why I was feeling like I had to push. They let me push a couple of pushes to see if that would break my water but it didn't. Then they told me not to push and just try to breath through the contractions. My water still wasn't breaking and it was the hardest thing trying not to push when that overwhelming feeling was there. They gave me the option of breaking my water and felt that once they did that the baby's head would apply to the cervix and help with dilation. I agreed. They broke the water and sure enough baby's head came right
down and I was 8-9cm.
The pushing feeling let up and I labored more for a while. I then started feeling pushy again and they decided to check to make sure I was fully dilated before I fully pushed. I just had an anterior lip. Again they told me not to push so that the anterior lip would pull back over the baby's head and not swell. I was dying to push but breathed through each contraction for an hour or two. (I lost all sense of time so I don't know exactly how long it was.)
The best position for me was on my hands and knees but they said that with the anterior lip that the position was actually making it worse. They wanted me to lie on my back to help take pressure off the cervix to facilitate it moving around the baby's head.
Lying on my back was so unbearable but I did it to help with the dilation. The midwife decided to try to help push the cervix over the head. She told me to push while she held it out of the way. Finally her head came down and I could fully push to my heart's desire. That felt great.
They asked if I wanted to go back to the hands and knees position since the cervix isn't an issue now but I said I just could not bear to move to another position. Then the "ring of fire came" Boy did that burn.
Finally her head came out and, surprise, so did a hand. They said that her hand was across her face. They pulled the hand out along with the head and since one shoulder was in and one was out she was having a little bit of trouble maneuvering.
They wanted me to flip to my hands and knees to open up the pelvis more. I thought they were crazy. Me trying to flip over with a head hanging out. I knew that I just had to do it as quickly as I could or it wouldn't have gotten done. My husband said he had never seen me move so quickly in my life. I pushed a little more and she was out!
Amazingly I had no tears. Personally I thought that was pretty amazing to have my first full term vaginal birth of 9lbs 2oz with no tears what-so-ever!
So to all of those women who have been told that you would have died in childbirth because you couldn't push out your own baby YOU CAN! I am proof that I delivered a baby 1 pound bigger than what they said.
I am a nurse who works in labor & delivery so I see all of the unnecessary interventions that they do.
I was pondering about my birth. If I would have chosen a hospital birth I probably would have ended up with another c/s or an episiotomy. There were times during my birth where I thought, "Am I crazy? I can't deal with this pain!" The midwives and doula helped me through the intense contractions.
If I was at the hospital they would have bullied me into an epidural and therefore I wouldn't have been able to move around to get her to come down. Also I wouldn't have been able to feeling the progression of her head coming down when I pushed.
With my son I pushed and couldn't really feel any progress so mentally I was losing hope. With this birth it didn't feel like I pushed for an hour because I could feel the accomplishment of her
coming down. I see this happen all of the time at the hospital.
If a mom isn't pushing quick enough for the doctor or they think the head is too big then they will automatically do an episiotomy. They probably would have done that and it just shows that it would have been for nothing and I would have had a longer recovery time.
So therefore I am grateful that I found homebirth and such wonderful midwives. I hope this inspires all of you who are having the normal feelings of "what if I can't do it." Good luck
to your future births, You CAN do it!

More Swimming Photos!2012-06-01 2 8 Share Tweet
Remember when we wrote about photographic swimwear earlier this summer? We featured hot bikinis and maillots with cool graphic prints but nothing for men. Well, we just discovered photographer-turned-designer Adam Brown's label of sophisticated swim trunks with rad retro prints for all the hommes out there! Washboard abs not included. ;-)
Photographer Adam Brown was lounging around the resort on a holiday when he realized that women looked great poolside while the men looked terrible. "We all had to change to go to lunch, and I thought that was so stupid."
So in 2007, he addressed the lack of sophisticated men's resortwear by coming up with his own brand, Orlebar Brown, which is now the quintessential label for tasteful and tailored men's swimwear.
If you liked Swimming Photos, featuring women's photographic swimwear, then you'll like Orlebar Brown's fifth anniversary collection. The British brand chose 12 vintage images by inspirational photographers like Slim Aarons and Dennis Halinan from the Getty Images archive which they will be releasing monthly throughout the year.
On top of being stylish, OB cares for the habitat its apparel are made for. 10% of proceeds from the shorts go to the Blue Marine Foundation, a UK charity dedicated to the preservation and protection of oceans and their wildlife.
OB is also hosting a photography competition about the "OB Way of Life." Submit your beachy keen and pool cool photos (can be analogue or digital, although we know which one you're likely to send, may be especially shot for the competition or a photograph from before) and get a chance to win £3000 to spend at OB and a seven night stay in Thailand! Time to flex those muscles! :-)
Visit Orlebar Brown for more info. Sourced from LA Times.
Basking at the Beach and Summer Festivals in Film are some of our requested posts for June. Send in your lomographs and stories for some sweet Piggy Points!

Amazing Grace! Celebrating Freedom
In 1779, just three years after America's Independence, a poem called "Amazing Grace" was published. Written by the repentant former slave trader-turned-clergyman John Newton, his words became not only an emblem of Christianity, but also a symbol of hope, and an anthem for the birth of a new nation. With the message that forgiveness and redemption are possible regardless of sins committed, … Continue reading

When the end of the world comes, you'll probably still be on your couch. What better way to go?! Check out This Is The End on Blu-ray and Digital to see how it might go down.
1. You're surprisingly uncoordinated.
It's surprising because at first you seem really coordinated.
2. And really bad at fleeing.
Which is literally an instinct, just maybe not for you.
3. You also lose your nerve when faced with danger.
…but danger always wins.
4. And you don't care when it's go-time. You prefer to sleep.
5. You prefer sleeping so much, you do it literally anywhere.
Such as on your getaway vehicle.
6. Meaning, manning the info hub would be a no-go for you.
AKA, you simply cannot be relied on to do anything of true value in the end times.
7. There is NO chance you can handle food rations.
Stockpiling food equals eating all of your favorite snacks in one sitting.
8. Also, getting up is not your favorite.
In fact, it's your least favorite—so you just don't do it.
9. And your disguise techniques are laughably unprofessional.
Trying to be someone else will not save your soul.
10. Even when you think you're the man, you're still totally unlucky.
11. Also, this is you when looking fear in the eye.
12. And your planning skills are really questionable.
Or, perhaps you just don't give a f*$@.
13. End of the world? Meh.
Does not caring make you the worst in a disaster or actually THE BEST?

Bathroom fan replacement reveals...a mess
I have a 1969-built house in vic. Pittsburgh, PA. Some previous owner added a bath fan (w/o permit) on the same switched line as the bath lights and vented it into the attic. When I went to replace the noisy fan with a quieter one, I discovered a rats maze of electrical wiring...
My original intent was to install a new switch and a new line for a new quieter fan. As it is a new switch, the town said I needed a permit so I drew a plan and got a permit.
My problem is the mess I discovered in the attic when I got up there...causing me to consider replacement of the fan only and to cancel the permit.
Pushmatic panel in the basement, bathroom on second floor. Same branch circuit feeds bathroom, 1/2 of one bedroom's outlets, and another bedroom's outlets and lights. BUT, the branch circuit is a 15 amp circuit, and has a mix of Al 12/3, Al 10/3, and Cu 12/3 wiring. Additionally I discovered 3 hidden junction boxes in the attic with their access panels plastered over in the bathroom and one not grounded!
I have room for one 20 Amp GFCI pushmatic breaker in the panel (all other slots taken).
Should I:
1) replace the fan and call it quits in the bathroom and cancel that portion of the permit? This presumes that replacement of like item does not constitute a need for a permit.
2) install the switch with Cu 12/3 and rewire the fan to the new switch...and get the inspector to focus ONLY on my modifications?
3a) run a new 20 Amp GFCI branch circuit up the outside of the house from the basement to the attic for the bathroom and totally rewire the bathroom from the attic using Cu 12/3? I need to add another outlet anyway as we are planning on adding a second sink and the one outlet is too far from the second sink to meet the NEC 2008 code requirement. I could then totalyl strip out the contents of the hidden jboxes, wire to jboxes affixed to vertical 2x4s (so they don't get lost future insulation work).
3b) cut the links between the bedrooms and the bathroom, insert new jboxes affixed to vertical 2x4s (so they don't get lost future insulation work), and link the two bedrooms on that single 15 Amp circuit using the Ideal Al-Cu purple wirenuts and Cu 14/3. The bedrooms all appear to be using Al 12/3 from my cable tracing--hence the need for Al-Cu wire nuts.
3c) get the inspector to inspect all of 3a and 3b [will have to update my permit schematics]
4) do something else entirely?

Troy Smith threw a touchdown pass and ran for another to lead the San Francisco 49ers to a 24-16 victory over the Denver Broncos on Sunday in the NFL's fourth annual game in London.
The Broncos' Eddie Royal returned a punt 78 yards for an apparent touchdown which would have made it 24-22 with 1:54 left, but Jarvis Moss was penalized for an illegal block in the back.
The Broncos (2-6) then drove 36 yards to the 49ers' 45-yard line before Kyle Orton was intercepted by Shawntae Spencer with 38 seconds left.
Smith's 28-yard touchdown pass to Michael Crabtree with 7:23 remaining broke a 10-10 tie. His 1-yard run with 11:57 left in the fourth quarter tied the game 10-10.
Frank Gore rushed for 118 yards, including a 3-yard touchdown run with 3:23 left to make it 24-10 for San Francisco (2-6).
Tim Tebow's 1-yard touchdown run in the third quarter gave the Broncos a 7-3 lead.
Orton finished 28 of 40 for 369 yards and a 1-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Lloyd.
Troy Smith, who started in place of the injured Alex Smith, finished 12 of 19 for 196 yards. Justin Smith had two sacks for the 49ers.
The Broncos have lost 14 of their last 18 games.

A Premier League striker tried to kick tenants out of their homes with just two weeks' notice.
Southampton's Lee Barnard, 28, recently bought a 14-bedroom townhouse that is converted into flats.
The 11 people living in it received a letter that said the water, gas and electric would be switched off and they had a fortnight to leave – despite the legal notice period being two months.
Resident Ray Ellis, 52, who is on disability benefits, said: "I've asked for more time to find somewhere else to go."
Chelmsford City Council told Mr Barnard, who is on loan at Oldham Athletic, to back down. He said: "It's a misunderstanding with the handover from the previous owner, who said we had to give notice of a day.
"The first letters were just sent with the wrong date."
The council said: "The new owner has been compliant and is now following the correct legal process."

Im a UK user and my car is only 3 months old, Impreza 2.5 WRX Turbo.
Ive fitted a new backbox, K&N Air Induction Kit and a Forge BOV last weekend.
All was well until the BOV was fitted, when I would temporarily lose power for about 1/3 of a second when changing gear at 5,000rpm. Then after about 80 miles of driving, the engine light came on, cruise control light began flashing and my dynamic driving light stayed on.
No funny noise or weird things happened and I managed to get the other 40 miles of driving home without issue except these lights wont turn off.
Ive just unplugged the battery in hope that the ECU will reset itself and hopefully (from looking at other forums) reconfigure itself to my new setup by holding revs at 3,000 when i start it up. Whether this is right or not, I dont know and hence Im asking anyone on this site if they can help. This is my fourth impreza and newest to own and I dont want to take it into the dealer if I can help it as i dont know if my warranty is void because of the mods i have made to the car....
Help me pleaseeeee! lol!

American Youth: A Novel
by Phil Lamarche
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Ted LeClare, a New England ninth grader, is showing off his father's guns when he hands one to visiting brothers. While he is in another room, one accidentally shoots and kills the other. Ted's terrified mother tells him not to tell the authorities that he loaded the gun. When Ted, who is referred to as the boy throughout the novel, returns to school after this violent incident, he is rejected by most classmates but is befriended by a group who call themselves American Youth. Their interests lie in vandalizing houses in the new subdivisions that are taking over the countryside. The Youth embrace gun rights, vigilante acts, and their own brand of religion that helps them rationalize their activities. As Ted begins to see the Youth for what they really are, he finally tells the truth about loading the gun and begins to feel release from his own guilt and pain. T
[Cliché alert] - A simple story well told. Ted (Theodore) is involved in an accidental shooting at his house. The novel explores the effect this event has on him and the surrounding community. This is the novelist's first and I felt that he wrote about what he knew. Because of the honest writing all of the events in the novel felt real. I especially enjoyed the scene where the boy helps his uncle skin a deer. This novel was in the adult section of my library, but because it dealt with teenagers trying to makes sense of their world I would recommend it to mature teenagers and anyone who felt like a dose of contemporary US realism. The only jarring thing in this novel was the novelist's decision to use "the boy", "the mother", "the father" etc when speaking of the main protagonist and his family, it seemed a bit contrived.
I kind of pretty much hated this book. I think.
The problem is, I really wanted to like this book, but I never got the point. There was a lot of trauma and suffering, but the main character, Teddy, and his family and "friends" never seemed real to me.
Having worked for years in a "welfare clinic," I have plenty of experience with trauma and its effects on kids, including kids that behave in the way these kids do. A few minutes with real kids gave me more insight into their lives than a whole book of Teddy's thoughts gave me into his life.
Two dimensional as the plot was, I thought maybe it was supposed to be some kind of 'morality play' about gun control, but it doesn't succeed at that, either.
I don't recommend it for teenagers, because it is confusing and pointless. It's hard enough for teens to make sense of this world.
I expected to like this book, having read a number of four-star and five-star reviews. For some reason, it never really grabbed me. I guess it was hard for me to believe that guns, alcohol, pot, sex, and vandalism are more or less matter-of-course in a suburban teen's life. It was also difficult to really like Ted (Teddy, Theodore, "the boy") although I could see how he was caught between his mother, the law, and his various "friends". Not a complete waste of time, but I'm not inspired to read more by LaMarche.
Taut writing and believable male characterization makes this difficult subject worth reading. Debut novelist.

Oklahoma State holds off Texas Tech rally, 67-59
Associated Press | Last updated January 04, 2012
Keiton Page scored 23 points, freshman Le'Bryan Nash matched his career high with 21 points and Oklahoma State held off a late Texas Tech rally to open Big 12 play with a 67-59 victory on Wednesday night. After Oklahoma State's 13-point lead dwindled to two, Page hit a step-back 3-pointer with 2:40 remaining to put the Cowboys up 60-55. After a miss on the next possession, Page curled around a screen to hit another 3-pointer from the left wing and give OSU (8-6, 1-0 Big 12) a six-point edge. He added four free throws in the final 17 seconds to put the game away. Freshman Jordan Tolbert had 13 points and 13 rebounds to lead the Red Raiders (7-6, 0-1). Ty Nurse, Jaye Crockett and Javarez Willis added 11 points apiece.

On 10/5/11 Pershing Gold Corporation announced that it has commenced Phase One drilling at the Relief Canyon Gold Project, located in the Antelope Springs mining district, Pershing County, 15 miles Northeast of Lovelock Nevada. The first phase of core drilling commenced on the Deep North Zone in late September and is being drilled by Carpenter Drilling, a private core drilling company, of Benton City, Washington. Pershing Gold Corporation staff has designed an initial drill program to further test this area consisting of 11 HQ diameter core holes ranging from 500 feet to 1500 ft. The total Phase One core program is planned for 14,300 feet of core to be drilled.
The Company plans to conduct up to 18,000 feet of core drilling to test the North Deep target, located approximately ½ mile to the north of the existing resource at the Relief Canyon Mine. The objective of the drill program is to further test mineralized zones found by previous operators. Mineralization has been identified in the North Target Area using Reverse Circulation and Core drill holes but insufficient information was collected from the drilling to determine the continuity or stratigraphic alignment of the mineralized material. Following phase one, the Company plans to conduct a 10,000 ft drill program in and adjacent to the current in pit resource to expand and upgrade existing resources.

Home : Window Companies : MI Windows
MI Windows Reviews
Read 26 MI windows reviews to see whether this company and their Pro 5000, Energy Core, Homemaker 3, 1650, 4300 series, and Storm Armor window series.
MI Window Prices | 1650 Series | Storm Armor Series
Editor's MI Windows Reviews
The company started out in Florida and now operates three manufacturing plants in Arizona, Texas, and Pennsylvania. MI is quite a large operation and is widely known within the building and contracting world. Unfortunately, here is where the "accolades" stop for this window manufacturing company. For the most part, MI makes a low quality vinyl window that is mostly sold to large builders and contractors who are looking to put in a large number of run-of-the-mill vinyl windows at a low-per-unit price. Basically the company tends to use low quality components, parts, and features. The end result is a low end vinyl window that has sub par design, tolerance, fit, and finish.
MI 1650 Windows Reviews
MI-1650 vs Atrium Windows
We are replacing 24 wood-frame windows -- mostly double-hung -- in a 19 - 20 year-old house in southeastern Virginia. One contractor quoted $11,900 for MI-1650 windows. Another quoted $14,300 for Atrium Series 40 windows. In general, MI windows appear to get a low quality rating on various websites. What do you think about these quotes?
[Site Editor's Response]
Frank, you are right about the MI windows, they are builder grade windows and you can do better. Atrium makes a decent window, but I think you should keep going on your search for something that's going to offer you better long term value.
MI Cutting Edge 1650 Windows
I had whole house window replacement (25 units) in September, 2008 with subject model. They had a ten year "warranty." To date, three have failed seals. The installation contractor is no longer in business and unreachable. Can anyone suggest a reputable contractor to replace the windows? I would prefer the same model for conformity's sake. Otherwise, suggest a higher grade brand with a like or similar appearance to the subject model. Thanks.
MI Storm Windows Reviews
MI Storm Armor Windows
I'm looking to purchase a home from a builder in Fl. who has won "Builder of The Year" awards on multiple occasions. Im a bit concerned because he will be using the MI high impact windows (Storm Armor)if I purchase the home. I cannot find any reviews on these MI windows and was wondering if these are rated any better than the non-impact windows they sell. Thanks for your feedback on these windows.
[Site Editor's Response]
Don, MI does not have a stellar reputation in the industry, but I know lots of builders like them, I'm assuming because they get them at a good price and they figure the windows are "good enough." I don't know much about the Storm Armor series. I'm sure they are better than the standard MI vinyl windows, but that isn't a recommendation by any means.
MI Energy Core Windows Reviews
MI Energy Core vs Simonton Windows
Dear Dane, we are in the process of replacing windows and have gotten a quote from an installer for MI Energy Core windows. However, after doing some research online, it appears that MI windows are a lower quality window and have gotten some bad reviews (as well as a class action lawsuit).
[Site Editor's Response]
Melissa, I would have to agree to the MI is not typically on many contractors top 10 list. The Energy Core is not bad though, although I haven't seen numbers on it. In terms of good mid range vinyl windows on the west, I would say look at Milgard, Amerimax and Anlin. Milgard will be available for sure, Amerimax possibly and I don't know whether Anlin has reps in your area.
MI Energy Core Windows
I like the new Energy Core better than their old lines, but they still can't compete with most other brands. Builders go with low quality windows because they're cheap, and when you buy thousands of windows the money adds up. You want a real window for your house, not cheap junk that's only made to look good long enough to sell. Go with Sunrise, Gorells, Okna, SoftLite, they're all great.
Read more Gorell Windows Reviews
MI Energy Core Windows Reviews
MI has a new Energy Core line that looks like it might be good. My biggest problem is it has a pocket sill, which I really don't like unless you have an impact window or some other good reason. Their other lines are nothing special. You can find plenty of others for around the same price with a much better track record as far as satisfaction, efficiency, and performance.
MI Professional Series Reviews
MI Windows
My MI windows are leaky and now I have lots of damage to the walls and frames and sills. Need professional opinion so we don't repeat. My daughter bought a "flipped house" last April in Northern California. Flippers replaced old aluminum windows with MI Professional Series retro fit windows into old frames. The rains came and water flowed into interior of walls around frames and when vinyl white cover strip at top of window was pulled back water flowed in when tested.
[Site Editor's Answer]
Hi, I would get a bunch of window companies out there to take a look and let them give you their bids and see what brands they carry.
MI General Windows Reviews
Mi Windows vs Milgard
Are MI windows comparable in quality to Milgard window?
[Site Editor's Answer]
Yvette, the Milgard windows are going to be better than MI windows in my opinion. I really like the Milgards, while the MI is considered more of a builder grade option.
MI or Ply Gem Windows
We are in the process of renovating a 1950s mid century modern house in Houston, TX. Our builder has given us the option of MI or Ply Gem windows. Can you tell me which would be better? Thanks!
[Site Editor's Answer]
Katherine, Ply Gem is clearly the better of those two window brands. Frankly, MI is a builder grade window that is not particularly made well in terms of long term durability. I would avoid the Ply Gem Contractor and would insist on either the Ply Gem Pro or better yet the Premium Ply Gem vinyl window. It's quite good.
Mid Range Vinyl Windows
We had Oxford windows but had a house fire and the basement windows need to be replaced. There are 3 smaller windows, and we will now have 2 egress windows. Our contractor wants to replace them with MI windows, but from the reviews I've been reading, it's not a good nor comparable replacement. What would you recommend that would be in the mid-range and still look nice?
[Site Editor's Response]
I would agree with you that MI windows are not a high quality window and I would recommend using another replacement window for your project. Several excellent vinyl window manufactures that produce numerous models (one or two of them will be their mid range series) include Sunrise, Soft-Lite, Okna and Polaris. These brands tend to be located in the mid west and northeast states and will not be available in the west.
MI And CertainTeed Windows
Have you heard of MI Windows? www.miwd.com
[Site Editor's Response]
Mark, I have heard of MI windows, although they don't have a very good reputation either. They are a large building supply company that owns CertainTeed. While CertainTeed has a good reputation in terms of their siding products, their windows do not have the best reputation in the industry. The company manufactures a lower end vinyl window that isn't going to provide very good long term value. They are well priced of course. I would suggest looking at the window brands I mentioned - if you are looking for more of a budget priced window, I would go with these company's entry level windows, they are still going to be better than an MI window in my opinion.
MIWD In The Desert
Dane, We need to replace all of our windows in a twleve year old house that was built on speculation and now has water coming in through the frames where the joints have opened up. We have spoken to an MIWD representative, but I see that you don't particularly like those windows. We are not looking to go "cheap" here, but we do want to make sure we don't throw our money away. The windows we now have are Jeld-Wen and they have not held up well in this relatively new house.
[Site Editor's Response]
Jeff, if you are looking for the strongest windows that can hold up to harsh conditions, you may want to look at an aluminum clad window. The problem is they aren't very energy efficient. Milgard makes a good aluminum window, Don Young out of Houston might be available in your area and they make a good aluminum window as well.
MI vs American Jewel Windows
I need to replace an old bathroom metal frame slider window. I have quotes at the same price for an American Jewel 1500 vinyl double hung with standard double insulated clear tempered glass.
For the same price, I have an MI Windows and Doors series 1555 vinyl double hung insulated glass. Which window is better? I see many of your reviews do not like the American Jewel.
[Site Editor's Response]
Trudy, neither MI or American Jewel tend to get very good marks in terms of a quality vinyl replacement window. You are obviously on the East Coast and there are some nice options, including Soft-Lite, Sunrise and Polaris. These three vinyl window manufacturers should be available through one or more local companies who service your area. I would suggest continuing your search in order to at least see how the prices compare, they are going to be more expensive, but I can pretty much guarantee that these windows will provide better long term value for you over time.
MI vs Sunrise Windows
Which window would you recommend? Sunrise, BF RICH OR MI ?
[Site Editor's Response]
Chris, you've asked an easy question to answer. The Sunrise is the better brand by far over the MI. BF Rich is not bad, but no where near the Sunrise. Sunrise offers a number of different models, all of which are very good except perhaps their entry level Essentials model. The Standard Sunrise is a very good window. You can order this and then choose any ala carte upgrades that suit your particular needs and budget.
MI Windows vs PGT
I am building a new home and looking at windows. The sub originally quoted MI windows, now Jeldwen and PGT, all vinyl, Should I go with Vinyl or another type and which would be rec. pending pricing.
[Site Editor's Response]
Rob, congrats on building a new home, that's exciting stuff...and also very stressful so I hope you are enjoying the process as much as possible. In terms of quality, MI windows are near the bottom and not a brand I would ever recommend. Jeld Wen has an okay reputation in terms of windows, and a very good reputation in terms of doors. I like PGT a lot, obviously depending on the model and features you choose.
MI Windows vs Viwinco
Viwinco makes a lower end window. They're on par with Silverline or MI. If you need a cheap window, they aren't the worst you can do, but if you're going to live in the home for a while, try for something a little better. Oknas or Sunrise, Himark, Softlite, all of them are so much better in terms of performance and looks. Of course, sometimes that just is out of budget, and you have to do what you have to do. Really, you want a window with a u-factor of .28 or lower, a DP rating of at least 50, and air leakage under 0.07.
MI vs Milgard
I'm getting two windows replaced and every quote I get seems to confuse me more. I can't afford to do all of the windows at once so I am only doing the two worst "leakers". I have quotes for 3 Milgards or an Amerimax with 2 MIs. But when I went to look at the Milgards again to try and decide, I saw the Andersen Series 100 and loved them. One installer said they are really good for the weather here in Arizona.
[Contractor Response]
I'm in LA, not exactly the same weather but not too far off. The Milgards and Amerimax are all good choices. The Andersens, I'm not so sure about. They have a new Silverline that might be worth it and might not.
Builder Grade Windows
MI windows are made for builders. They're cheap, designed to look good just long enough to sell the house. They aren't a window that anyone wants to live with. You'll be stuck dealing with flimsy materials and poorly made frames. You'll be replacing them in 5 years.
MI Window Warranty
My house has MI windows that are about 15 years old. I've heard they have a lot of problems, but I've been impressed with mine. Their warranty was better than a lot that I looked at and when I did have a minor problem they stood by it with no arguing. They replaced 15 year old glass at no cost to us, and not everyone would do that.
Xacts vs Ply Gem
Allied Building Products has a private label window called "Cutting Edge" and I'm trying to figure out who manufactures it. Any ideas?
[Contractor Response]
They're made by MI. They are also sometimes called Xacts. They are a cheap, builder grade window designed to be the lowest cost possible. If you have your heart set on Allied, look at the Ply Gem Premium or Great Lakes 5000. Before you buy anything take the time to check out Okna, Sunrise, Polaris, and SoftLite. With any of those, you'll be getting a window that's worth your money and won't fall apart in five years.
Good Customer Experience
We looked at three options when we got our windows. Pella from Lowes, Simonton or CertainTeed from Home Depot, all with a local installer. We liked the Simontons, but finally decided on MI Xacts, which are made by the same guys who make CertainTeeds. They are identical to the Bryn Mawr IIIs. The installation was great, plus the installer had worked with the windows before. He didn't cut corners and the whole thing was done neatly and carefully. He did the trimming and priming and some really nice caulking and touch up work. The windows all work really well and look great. Plus it only cost us $3600 for 9 windows.

Hobart steps up for alumni leadership
An expert in kinesiology, Hobart taught anatomy at the University of Maryland at Baltimore for more than 20 years and his popularity with students was proved when they endowed a scholarship in his honor in 1991. As assistant chair and associate professor of the UM Physical Therapy Department, Hobart was a driving force in establishing its alumni association and annual giving program. He's committed long term to his alma mater too.
He currently serves on the McDaniel Alumni Council and as a visitor to the Board of Trustees. His organization and tracking of classmates has resulted in record attendance at reunions and participation in the Annual Fund.
Hobart appreciates his McDaniel education, one where retired professors like Drs. Royer, Sturdivant, and Kerschner taught him to think logically. As students, "we were asked to be problem solvers before problem-solving was a buzz word," says Hobart.
"Dick Clower [physical education faculty] made problem solving a priority and teaching a valued skill, Bill Tribby taught me to write and Bob Waldorf taught perseverance and how to work with people.
"That's a pretty awesome resume instilled by awesome teachers," he adds.
Currently Hobart manages Rehab Essentials, a distance-learning program, that contracts with national universities to offer a program of study for physical therapists seeking to upgrade their degrees to the doctoral-level. Working with 150 students across the country, Hobart coordinates the faculty, disseminates the courses via CDs, monitors the exams, and provides oversight for their capstone projects.
"It's a great job," he says, one that allows him to work from home in Westminster. There, he and wife, Janice Mooney '63, stay active in all things McDaniel and volunteer to ensure that the education they enjoyed will continue for current and future students.

Onan 4000 generator, TX.
2007 model Microquiet generator, came out of a 2007 toyhauler. I purchased a portable generator to use at home too, so this is no longer needed. Starts and runs perfectly. Comes with everything needed to install in an RV, side output exhaust pipe, gas tank with quick disconnect that rides on top of generator, I usually set it outside when the generator is running though, remote start kit with hour meter, currently at 489 hours, and external 50 amp plug to plug your RV power supply cable into. Changed oil and installed new spark plug last month, I know everyone says this, but it's true. All necessary cables are included to hook to your battery for starting, ground cable for RV frame connection, and wiring for the remote start switch. It also has a start switch on the generator itself, if you don't want to use the remote start.
Everything is ready to plug in and run, I did cut 5 small wires that go to the remote start, to ease taking it out of the RV, but they are all color coded and can be connected back with simple butt connectors. It will easily run my 15k AC unit, and microwave at the same time, no issue. Also have the original manuals that came with it new.
$2000 FIRM, no trades. If you want to arrange shipping, I'll be happy to drop it off in the Austin area. The shipper will have to palletize, and I doubt they'd want to ship the gas tank.

I don't know many Norwegian artists (I mean, I don't know any, except the one I'm about to introduce to you). But even if I were to study up and become an expert on Scandinavian culture, I feel pretty confident that Esra Røise is still the name I'd choose to write this piece about. Inspired by gangly, gap-toothed runway models, loudmouth punk rock front-women, and the kind of quirks that dudes love in their girlfriends but that girlfriends are always trying to hide behind entangled messes of hair or fix in Photoshop, Esra Røise's illustrations pack more mood than a gang of high-schoolers smoking cigarettes behind the bleachers. Her drawings have been commissioned for Vogue, Nylon, Russh, Vice, Nike, and Levi's, to name a few. And that's just the preliminary sketch. We caught up with Esra to talk about the influence of skateboarding on the art world and that convoluted place where fashion meets feminism.
You started out working in a skate shop in Oslo? Tell me a little bit about that experience and how it helped you get your feet wet in the art and weirdo world.
Esra Røise: The skateboard culture has been close to my heart since growing up with a skateboarding brother in a very small town. The relaxed way of life was something that I felt very attracted to, and it has stayed with me ever since. I worked at a skate shop for six years and it was the chillest, most fun job I ever had, and probably the first job I kept for more than a year that didn't bore the shit out of me. I probably could have stayed for longer had I not decided to take a leap of faith a focus on illustration full-time.
Getting to know the scene, I was introduced to a lot of creative, free-spirited and extremely talented individuals. And a lot of weirdos, obviously. But good weirdos, if you know what I mean. Some have gone on to become widely influential artists on the Norwegian art scene. But back then, we were just skate kids who hung out. I think the community makes room for creative thinking and gives you a sense that it's okay to be who you want to be, and gives you the confidence to push for your own things.
Working in the skate shop was also what brought me to Element. When they approached me to be an Eden Advocate last year, it felt like a great chance to keep in touch and contribute to the community, though I'm not out on the streets anymore.
What's the skate scene like in Oslo?
I'm more of an observer from the side line these days, but I'd say it's looking pretty good. There is a lot of emerging talent, and I'm stoked to see where it's going.
How did you go from working retail to becoming a full-time illustrator?
While working at the shop, I did illustration on the side. There was always someone who needed a flyer, or a poster or an ad or what not. Gradually, I started getting more and more requests, so I finally worked up the nerve to quit, and see if those wings really worked. It hasn't always been easy. I mean, I've had countless nights waking up in panic over how to pay the rent and why the hell I would choose a job like this. But it definitely feels worth it. It was scary as shit quitting my day job to pursue drawing full-time, but I have never regretted it. I have the best job, and the freedom of being your own boss makes it feel really worth-while.
So many skaters dabble in the creative arts. Where do you think that comes from?
Maybe it's the rebellion? Being a skateboarder is a bit rebellious, I think, and pursuing art and photography is most definitely a stupid idea (in terms of security and what not). But it is an idea fueled by passion and love for the trade, just like skateboarding itself. As previously mentioned, I also think the community has a greater acceptance of just doing your own thing, which makes it easier to just go for it, I guess..
I've noticed there are a lot of gap teeth, tattoos, and surreal quirks in your illustrations. Is it safe to say you're drawn to oddities and peculiar traits?
Most definitely. The odder and ganglier and weirder the better. Pristine and polished is just boring.
A lot of your work depicts models, musicians and cultural icons. Where do you find your muses?
In my friends, people around me and in popular culture. I'm very much into both music and fashion and my choices of protagonists are very much influenced by that.
I know you're a big fan of White Lung. What other music turns you on and gets you in the mood to make art?
No Age, Cold Cave, Primal Scream, Nu Sensae, White Fence, Nisennenmondai, Mogwai. Oldies like Fleetwood Mac and Sonic Youth... Ghah...so many. It really depends on what I am drawing though. Mellow music makes for moody work and hardcore is perfect for deadlines.
What is your process like when you are working on a commissioned piece?
Working on commissions is very different from doing personal work. If it's a commission, it's almost exclusively a brief and a deadline involved, which indicates your direction and time frame. From there I do a round or two of sketching, and then onto the drawing, then maybe adding some ink or watercolor before I scan it to Photoshop and play around with editing and do final tweaks there. If it's a personal project, I normally start off doodling being inspired by something I've seen (a movie, a person, a photograph, etc) or a song, a movement. It could be anything really... I'll doodle for a while and then the sketch will kinda just take on a life of its own. Or I'll play around with different techniques that I want to try out... most of it being left unfinished, or put a side for a week or two before it is picked up again. I get restless very easy, so drawing on the same thing for more than a week at a time is always a bit of a challenge for me.
You're a feminist who loves skate culture and high-fashion. Do you ever feel pigeon-holed or stereotyped as too much of one thing, or not enough of another?
Not gonna lie, being a feminist and a bit of a tomboy, I have, at times, felt awkward about my passion for the fashion industry. There have been time where I've questioned whether you can really be a "good feminist" and still indulge in an industry that fuels harmful stereotypes and is based around superficial values. I have come to terms with it, though. As long as I know who I am, and know what my values are, I can be into anything I like. I mean, if anything (and bare with me, as I know this might sound corny), feminism has actually helped me appreciate fashion in a better way. It makes it easier for me to acknowledge all the fucked up things (which, lets be real, there are many of), and appreciate the parts that I really, really love about the industry. For example, the craftsmanship and creativity that goes into it all. I love the fact that what you choose to put on says something about who you are as an individual, and is sort of an silent way of communicating.
Are you working on anything new right now?
At the moment, I'm in the midst of wrapping up a few projects for Nike and Nylon, and after that I am actually taking a little summer vacation. Planning a wedding (yikes!) and finally unpacking all those boxes in the new apartment. I'm really bad at taking time off, though, so I plan on working on personal projects in my own tempo throughout the summer as well.

Meg and Brandon were married at Vinewood Plantation in Newnane, Ga. on November 16. "The stables and grounds at Vinewood Plantation had that perfect relaxed charm we were looking for," Meg said. "I knew the day would be beautiful, even if I had no money left to spend on the decor!" The bride wore a strapless a-line wedding gown, accessorized with her hair in an updo, fingertip-length veil, sash, and a pair of flats, while the groom wore a black suit, accessorized with striped tie. "I wore my great aunt Margaret's earrings for my 'something blue,'" she said. "She was my mom's favorite aunt, and I was named for her. My mom gave me the earrings years ago — they were special then, but it meant so much to include them in my wedding." Bridesmaids wore short patterened dresses they picked out themselves and carried bouquets of roses, ranunculuses, anemones, scabiosa pods, and succulents. "Our guests were greeted with hot apple cider upon arrival," Meg said. "My mom made 150 felt coffee koozies and 150 of her famous caramels for cider stirrers. The handmade touches from our family and friends made us feel so loved and supported." Before the ceremony, the couple opted for a first look. Of course, tears were shed! "I will never forget the look on Brandon's face when we first saw each other," she said. "It was such an emotional moment, even with our small audience standing 50 feet away. Planning a wedding is such a long and laborious process, but in that moment it was so clear why we were here. I was so full of joy (and relief) that the day had finally come." The ceremony took place underneath a giant oak tree with everyone sitting in mix 'n' matched chairs. Afterwards, the reception was held inside the barn. Tables were decorated with burlap runners, vintage plates and goblets, and votive candles. Dinner was a traditional Southern fare, BBQ! "I loved having individual cakes on each table," Meg said. "They served two purposes: table numbers and desserts. They were rum cakes, made using grandma Guynelle's famous recipe. I made the bunting toppers and my mom scoured flea markets and goodwill stores for a year buying up cake stands." For late-night snacks, s'mores could be roasted over an open fire too. The newlyweds' best advice? "Plan every last detail," she said. "We loved Google docs to track everything. Then, turn it over to someone you trust and let it go."

Cover Garage Vents
Hi All,
First post here!
I am preparing to sheet my garage walls with OSB and had some questions regarding vents in the walls. My garage is a detached garage with attached studio. The garage portion currently has three vents. One above the garage door, and two on the same outside wall... one about 12 inches off the floor and one on the other side the same wall at about 5ft high.
My question is what to do with these vents on the wall. Can I just cover them up with the OSB? The Garage is going to stay a garage/shop. The ceiling is not going to be finished, just the walls. The ceiling will remain open pretty much (may close off 1/4 of it for storage)
Any ideas would be great!
I'd need to see pictures to be absolutely sure---but Those low vents can be closed up--all that is needed ore soffit vents and a vent or two on the roof.
Give a call to your local B.D., as these vents were required to pass Code. In the '70-80's a high and low vent on opposite sides were installed to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning from auto exhaust. FHA required them as did many Cities around here. May not be needed now, always good to check........
If you do close them, air seal the inside osb from the outside air and moisture.

SPAN-261 Latin America: Literature and Culture I
This class will focus on the discursive origins of Latin American
culture through the exploration of the so-called discovery, conquest
and colonial periods of the region. The course will concentrate on how
the writings of both Spanish and indigenous authors were central in
shaping colonial and post-colonial societies. We will also examine the
existence of non-alphabetic writings and other strong indigenous
traditions that demonstrate the complexity of the Latin American
colonial society. Authors to be studied include Christopher Columbus,
Hernán Cortés, Alvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, Bartolomé de las Casas,
Guaman Poma de Ayala, Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, Sor Juana Inés de la
Cruz, and others. The course will consist of careful readings of
important primary texts and classroom time will focus on the analysis
and discussion of these texts. Equally important as the study of these
primary texts, we will also draw parallels between the history Latin
America and the present, focusing on how these important writings and
indigenous traditions continue to shape Latin American culture and

I just reached 5000 sales… and it was an extended license
I agree with Creattive. My overall feeling is that prices are going lower and lower over the last several months.
Not to mention that there's a lot of inconsistency in items pricing. I saw a lot of examples where absolutely the same style logo animations are priced 8,10,11,13$. About video displays and title sequences I don't even want to speak… one day those kind of projects are approved with 32-37$ price tag and tomorrow you can find the same projects for $21, sometimes for even $16.
Feel free to use my previews too. If you want I can send you full res videos for YouTube upload.
Nice upgrade and very useful for a lot of authors! I agree with "digitalscience" – Top New files under each category drop down menu will be even better.
Sort by Rating "Best rated" is not working properly. When that filter is applied in the first places are files with only few 5 stars, while some of the best rated items with 20+ all 5 stars are placed on page 10, 20 etc.
Roller-coaster! 10 sales in one after noon then complete day or two nothing… then again bunch of sales in few hours
For me only solution for that in older AE versions is to switch project to 32bpc.
Hello guys, I know that Creattive is referring to my recently disabled project. I've don't want to post any links and share all details from this sad story before support handle it and I hope and pray finally resolve my issue today. In short… I was accused by somebody from this marketplace that I my work was a hard copy of one tutorial (which is making off of one part for some commercial) which I never saw. I contacted company who created that commercial and tutorial, I they was clearly stated to me that I didn't break any copyrights and that my project was great. They also provided the same statement to support by opening ticket to help me with this unbelievable issue. I'm now waiting for support respond.
About harm which was made to me and some possible compensation for it, I don't know what to say… Some compensation would be really fair after this, but I'm not the one who can make that decision. Last two day was really ultra stressful for me and at this moment I just hope and pray that my issue will be solved today and that my file will be back where it deserves to be… and to try at least a little to compensate what I lost in the last two days.
Best regards,
When I received that mail from support after 15 minutes I've contacted Envato Support on twitter with issue ref number to get explanation what I can do to fix it.
Immediately I've got respond from the staff member who actually disabled my item and send that mail to me… He told me that review team will need to check my item and that I'll get explanation shortly… So I waited whole night and half day by the computer to receive that message and react if there's a problem… But I didn't got anything… I've contacted twitter support today again and from other staff member received answer that the review team will check it in next 1-2 days.
It doesn't seem that somebody checked what's wrong with my project (who had 5.0 rating and great feedback) before disabling it.
But as it seams now… My loss will be counted in thousands of dollars if this issue will not be fixed very soon.
I'm always more than glad to help my customers sometimes even if the questions are way beyond simple project editing… So disabling good rated and great selling item for "maybe possible quality reasons" before even contacting about that is just not fair.. I've got yesterday message from support that they will contact me shortly… and today I've got answer that that will be in next 1-2 days… before holiday and weekend when support is not available. So what to say?
By the way here's ref number 558833 … which I received by support
and today I've opened support ticked #SGU-669-83779
So if somebody from staff can take a look at them to explain me what's going so that I can fix it if something is wrong with it… I'll really appreciate that.
Best regards, Nenad

Burning rubber smell: valve cover gasket leak, belts slipping, or other? (with pic)
Okay, so a search yielded some hints to either valve cover gasket failure or belt slippage to some minor but persistant burnt rubber scent either through the air system or ambient (through the windows), but I failed to find any actual pics.
So, I took a pic of what leakage/seepage I saw today while investigating, but wonder if this oil seepage could be it (doesn't seem likely to me) or if it's slippage of the A/C belt (which I rarely run) or the serpentine belt (which is maybe 20k miles newer than the car now at 73k miles) producing smell from slippage. Both appear in decent shape, with no glazing. UUC u/d pullies in place, and the belt is what I received with the pullies. Never noticed the smell until the car was parked for about a week in the cold of the winter a couple of months ago, then ran in the early AM with some faint smoke escaping the hood seams. Occasionally I smell it again, like today with a bit of stop-and-go traffic. No excessive periods of idling (maybe 10 min stop n go).
At this point I'm ready to do the VCG for PM, and get replacement belts also. I guess the real concern would be either tensioner failure, or water pump bearing failure causing some rubbing and smoke.
FWIW, the car still runs like a scalded weasel, with no discernable loss in acceleration, noise comfort, or fuel economy. And the A/C still blows nice and cold. Engine "temps" (on the admittedly buffered temp indicator) run normal to ever so lightly cool.
(pic view from radiator, showing presumed slow seepage from under valve cover)
