The goal of Domebase is to create a community approach to content production for hemispheric projection, in a way that is accessible for informal science education programs and small dome operators in schools and science centers. It is also designed to foster the production of programs on both science and humanities topics, including local history and personal narratives. The final products of this project revolved around a re-imagining of a mural project, Women Who Change the World, in a community garden in the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
Initial funding for the creation of a mini-dome authoring system was provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities, through the Office of Digital Humanities, as a Digital Humanities Start Up Grant. Additional funding for curriculum development, classes, and public outreach came from the Verizon Foundation and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs. Work began in September of 2010, soon after groundbreaking on the Center for Community. As of this writing in spring of 2012, construction continues on the Center, which is expected to open in January of 2013.

CALIFORNIA -- 2007 Chevy Silverado 32,000 miles has a rust bubble spot under 3rd brake light with rust colored stain forming. Went to dealer and they said GM won't cover it unless there is a hole in it. They told me to poke a hole in the body and it will be covered. I called GM and got a run around and finally got a basically tough **, you're on your own. Well I'm unloading this piece of crap and taking my business elsewhere. You support American and get the shaft. Wife needs a new car and wanted a Chevy but after this I'll never buy another GM product in my life. I had a 1987 Honda which was parked outside everyday with not one rust problem what so ever.
EDMOND, OKLAHOMA -- We purchased a 2006 Chevy Silverado 3500 from Bob Howard Chevrolet in August 2006. Within two months of purchasing the truck, we noticed that the rear bumper began to blister. When we showed the issue to the service department, we were advised to let the paint continue to blister for a while until rust appeared and that the warranty would take care of the rust problem, but not blistered bumper paint. We did exactly that. Now, the warranty does not cover rust on the bumper.
We went to Chevrolet and asked them why they refused to honor the warranty like we were told by the Bob Howard service department. Chevrolet replied saying that the original warranty would cover the problem had the service department addressed the issue when we had blistered paint, but now that the bumper turned to rust, we were out of luck. They could offer us; however, a new bumper for around $600. Now, we see why General Motors went bankrupt. This was our first Chevy and will most certainly be our last.
MILFORD, DELAWARE -- I spent $43,000 for a 2010 extended cab pu. I test drove a crew cab and enjoyed the sunroof option lighting up pass. Area the dealer didn't have one in stock with equipment and color I wanted and settled for extended cab instead. I wasn't aware that the sunroof design was different between two models, The sunroof rattles so bad you need to turn radio up over half volume to block out rattle. Making it impossible to carry on a conversation with anyone. Also bounces up and down upon closing door. It's been back to dealer many times to no avail. Told it is a design flaw. It was an $800 option I wish I never bought.
I asked dealer possibility of permanently sealing close the window to stop rattle and questioned them about any reimbursement for option they said they couldn't do either. This was the second chev. I bought in 3 years the first one had major electrical problems and after 2 years of trying to fix it I gave up after dealer had it 9 of 11 weeks and was unable to repair it. New truck new dealer, same poor quality I will never buy another chev. in my life time. I've been waiting over a month for dealer to come up with something else to try.
I bought this truck new and because I am in a ride-share program do not accumulate many miles on either of my cars. When this truck was new it required a driver's side seal because it was leaking in water and this was covered. At 16,000 miles my disk player stuck, not the fault of the disk and this was covered. This year, 2010, 26,482 miles, my speedometer went wacko. Covered but when fixed my scroll bar is now messed up. The truck is going back in for service 1/23/2010 to fix the scroll bar which should be covered because it was working when the truck was taken in for the speedometer repair. Whoever heard of a speedometer messing up?
I am 61 years old and owned many cars; never the above problems. When I took my truck in for the speedometer, I was told my rotors were rusted and needed to be replaced, my oil pan was leaking (nothing on my driveway) and my transmission lines were leaking (again, nothing on my driveway). I have not even towed anything with this truck. I will be taking my truck to an independent service center for a second opinion. I think the above is a quality issue and all repairs should be backed by GM. If after the second opinion, the above is true, I will let an independent do the work. No way am I going to reward a dealership for selling me junk.
I thought HD stood for Heavy Duty not crap. They should rename the truck 2500 CRAP. This truck is going to get fixed, if needed, and probably traded. Do you think I should buy another Silverado? HA! My tax dollars were used to save this company; what a short sheet I received.
I am so disgusted with my Chevy Truck. The third one I've owned and you can BET this is the last. 1000 dollars to replace all three 02 sensors, another couple hundred on the parking brakes. Seems Chevy can't engineer a simple parking brake cable properly. Maybe if they spent more on hiring qualified engineers instead of pampering their corporate jet fleet, they could build a truck that doesn't require extensive repair bills every 6 months. Not to mention the page after page of recalls that are plaguing GM.
Also, they should include a "leaf blower" to remove the accumulation that drops behind the body panel. If you own one and live near a tree, you know what I'm talking about. More bone-uses for the Execs!
LAFAYETTE, LOUISIANA -- Tuesday November 11, 2008. Chevrolet. P.O. Box 33170. Detroit, MI 48232-5170. Attention: Customer Service Dept. RE: Service Request No. **. 2005 Chevrolet Silverado Crew Cab. VIN **. Mileage 53,006. Dealer: **. Vehicle delivery date 9-7-2005. Service Rep.:
I called GM Customer Service today to report slipping and trouble with my vehicle's transmission shifting. I had spoken with the service department at my dealer earlier this morning and they gave me little hope, saying that my original 3-year, 36,000 mile warranty had expired. Your customer service representative checked at my request and said that there were no recalls or pending class action suits regarding this issue -- there should be. My nephew has this exact vehicle and he had to have his transmission replaced at less than 40,000 miles.
A quick internet search shows that this problem is not uncommon at all. Some have even had the transmission replaced under GM's "Goodwill Policy". I was not offered any "goodwill". In fact, I believe your new 5-year, 100,000 mile warranty on newer vehicles may be an attempt to rid yourselves of the poor reliability image that is building among consumers. It may even work on those who were not deceived by the earlier problems and shorter warranties that were apparently statistically placed just before the expected transmission failures.
No reasonable person would say that 50,000 miles is a reasonable time for a transmission to work properly. Your new warranties prove it. The numerous transmission failures on these vehicles represent a defect that should be recalled. I brought the vehicle in to the dealer and they said they would run a diagnostics check this Friday at the earliest. In the meantime, I will be without a vehicle. Thanks.
I wonder if your statisticians count on the number of people dissuaded from buying your vehicles by customers like me who will go out of their way to protect other innocent buyers from this type of known defect. Or do they just figure that a percentage of lost customers can simply be replaced by fresh dupes and that people like me won't go through the trouble of convincing others? You may frustrate me, but I will not "give up".
I will say this, though: I have owned Chevrolet pickup trucks continuously since 1986 and when I am through with this one, it will probably be my last. This is the case in spite of the fact that I have a GM credit card with $1,500 earnings toward purchase of a new GM vehicle (I will get a new credit card with some other rewards program that I can actually use). I grew up hearing from my father that we should "buy American" and thinking that was also good for our country.
Now, I believe GM has a corporate view that gives no weight to such loyalty and, therefore deserves no loyalty from its customers. What a shortsighted way for a major corporation to behave. Maybe it is partly the reason for your loss of market share and recent discussions of bankruptcy and government bailouts.
I am not writing this as an angry Chevy customer, but as a sad, longtime, loyal customer of Chevrolet who defended Chevrolet in the hunting camp arguments over Ford/Dodge/Chevy. It seems we should have been discussing Nissan and Toyota instead. Until our own country's manufacturers can make a transmission that lasts more than forty or fifty thousand miles, they will continue to lose ground against the more reliable Japanese brands. I know this was long and I did not enjoy writing it any more than you did reading it. I sincerely regret my loss of confidence in your company after a 22-year run with Chevrolet.
I have a 2007 Chevy Silverado 1LT 2WD extended cab with the 5.3 iron-block V8. I had long ago given up on buying GM products. Bad quality and bad designs. But the new Silverado has changed my mind. Highlights: Quiet ride, comfortable & supportive seats, surprisingly good handling, good looking & well-designed interior with lots of storage. Problems: None so far. Lowlights: Radio speakers do a lousy job with high-end sounds. And (a real nik-pick here) the owner's manual is a bit hard to read, lacking a lot of drawings/pictures, and it comes in a thin, wimpy, plain, ultra-cheap canvas-like pouch.
10,000 mile update.
Only problem so far: Took the truck in for its first oil change in May, was told that there was an oil leak. I was given a free loaner (a new Impala), problem was fixed under warranty, no problems since. The rear cup holder broke; the hinge locked up, and it snapped off when given a tug. I assume this was caused by my 5-year old standing on it. I admitted to breaking it, but it was still replaced free under warranty. Also, a software update was taken care of.
I wasn't wild about the original equipment tires, wanted some with better all-season traction, so I replaced the stock Generals with Bridgestone Dueler Revos. Great improvement in handling and wet & dry traction. The cost was a drop in fuel economy. I had been consistently getting 16.5; now 15.5. Looks like I will be changing jobs, going from largely working at home to having a 120 mile daily commute. This will be a good test of the truck.
5/15/2009 -- I now have 35,000 miles on this truck. I have driven it from PA to MI with 800 lbs in the bed, from MI to FL and back with 500 lbs in the bed, and from MI to MO with a 6 year old in the back seat. I currently have 1000 lbs in the bed, moving equipment from one factory to another. I haven't had a single problem, and have done nothing but change the oil. Highway MPG approaches 19. GM is finally building some good products, but not enough people believe them anymore. It's too bad, because I love this truck.
8/12/2011 -- it's been awhile since I updated this post. My Chevy now has 82,000 miles on it. it's both my work truck and personal vehicle. For the past year I have driven it from Michigan to upstate New York every other week. I have twice taken it from Michigan to Florida loaded with trade show stuff; another trip to the boot heel of Missouri.
The truck has continued to perform flawlessly. Only issues have been two minor leaks, transmission and engine oil, both fixed under warranty. I replaced front brake pads at 62k. Worn out the Bridgestones at about 55k and replaced with Michelins. Other than that I've only changed the oil when the oil life monitor tell me to. Truck still feels tight and rides quiet.
KENTUCKY -- My Dad just bought an '05 Chevy Silverado P/U with the 4.3 V-6. It has the 5 speed manual transmission and is about as basic a truck as you can buy on a lot these days. The rear end has the 3.23 gear set in it. The tranny makes a light clunk when you shift out to the next gear. This truck doesn't even have 5,000 miles on it yet. It is not the clutch. We can tell that. Its like there is some lash in the gears when you engage the clutch. Not only can you hear it, you can feel it in the shifter. This ain't right.
Dad has since test drove some other trucks with the same tranny and they all do it. And after reading some of the GM reviews on here, it doesn't surprise me. The service department is blaming it on a redesign of the transmission. I blame it on shoddy workmanship. The 4.3 engine in it is not the same one that GM sold years ago. My Mom had an '86 Monte Carlo with basically the same motor in it. And you had to be careful with it. It would break the tires lose without even trying hard.
This 4.3 bogs on small hills that shouldn't even make it breathe hard. Dad just had an exhaust leak fixed on it just behind the catalytic converter. It made the truck quieter, but, we don't know if it helped the power any or not. Dad found it when he was under the truck and saw black soot on the brand new factory exhaust. The service techs at the dealership said they can't put it on a diagnostic machine unless the check engine light is on. Personally, I think they're afraid the computer will tell them that my Dad knows what he's talking about.
He has a 1991 Nissan P/U with well over 100K on it. And it still runs like a new one. He's saying now that he wishes he had just gone on and bought another one instead of this truck. Dad is not hard on a truck but, he does use it for hauling stuff. Its a shame that he has to go through all this crap, thinking he was getting a quality product. I'm starting to think that GM may just stand for "Grave Mistake". Is anyone else out there having these problems with a new GM truck? Especially the Silverado or the Sierra with this motor and /or engine? Please e-mail me and let me know. Thanks

Thanks for posting that. It was interesting...I seemed to like her more than I did when the show was on. I have to admit that I didn't watch every part of it though. The interviewer said at one point that he was surprised that Will had not called in, did he ever call in? Because Erika said that Will and she have patched things up.

The holidays are quickly approaching and this month is being spent preparing for them with parties and events such as the one we attended yesterday morning at the Tacoma Goodwill's Milgard Center. The Santa Breakfast is a collaboration with the Sunrise Notary and is a wonderful holiday event that is over 10 years old! We were invited by Christine (thanks Christine! your antlers were really cute!) and were excited to take a trip south to Tacoma to check out a couple of stores new to us as well.
Of course our first stop was for some yummies after our drive. The volunteers were very attentive, the crowds were full of kids ready to see Santa and the syrup was sticky-sweetness!
Then it was onto the kids craft area… but we got sidetracked easily in the "balloon room" and ended up staying there for a long time having a BLAST! Next year Tacoma Goodwill should make an entire room full of balloons for another side activity since this one was such a hit with more than one child!
We then tried to see Santa and were offered stuffed animals or books and bags of goodies but our little one was only interested in playing with the balloon. So we decided to drive over to the other stores and check out the Tacoma Goodwill's toy sale (currently 30% off most toys and games) and their "Christmas stores" for some extra decorations for our party next Friday night.
By this time the little one was getting ready for a nap so we needed to head back home. But mommy did find a holiday present, an entire box full of brand-new wooden blocks for 30% off $3.99!
We were still looking for some other items to get our home truly ready for the holiday party on Friday, December 16th so later in the evening we went to the NEW Edmonds Goodwill. I've been to enough thrift store openings to know that they usually stock the store with higher-end pieces and it's usually like that for up to a month after the grand opening… so since we have 20 people coming over for our party and I've been needing to find a couple of last minute holiday gifts Edmonds Goodwill was on our sites!
And believe me… the NEW Edmonds Goodwill did not disappoint! The store was immaculate, the staff very attentive and helpful and lot of really great goodies! I ended up finding a designer present for somebody that normally is running at $250 to $300 dollars at discount sites like Overstock.com and is in great condition! Needless to say it was less than $100 and working just fine! I also picked up a designer luggage piece to go with that DVF makeup case, a file cabinet for only $4.99 and we dropped off a couple of donations while we were at it. I will be posting images of all the holiday gifts I've purchased in the next week (I'm waiting a bit so I don't give away my surprise to those friends/family that read this blog) so that you can get your own holiday ideas going!
I will be sharing some of the holiday decorating I've done with Goodwill pieces for our party this next week so stay tuned for some ideas for your own holiday parties!

Venture Brothers: 3rd Season, The (US - BD RA)
Gabe isn't alarmed as they engage...the nozzle. He waits while it calibrates...
Season one of The Venture Bros. was all about the jokes, the references, and the generally silliness. If it wasn't popular, and if it had ended there, fans would've still had a fun time. Season two started a real story for the characters, using bits and pieces from the first season for the sake of continuity. Season three starts the ball rolling for a true mythology for the characters, rather than giving back-story jokes on the run for humour's sake. The approach is both a blessing and a curse. The curse comes from the twenty episode count which is shorter than most network television, and robs the season of a full arc. After the tight overarching plot of season two I'm assuming most fans (like me) were expecting more of the same, so there is a hint of disappointment in comparison. There is continuity to some of the later episodes, but nothing as serial as season two.
Things begin with 'Shadowman 9: In the Cradle of Destiny', the story of everything that occurred between the Monarch, Dr. Girlfriend, and Phantom Limb. The episode is a little light on jokes, but positively packed with back story, and the structure is extremely elegant. It's also pretty cool that the episode is almost entirely villain-centric.
'What happened to your legs?'
'What do you know... of evil?'
'Why? You 'eviled' your legs?'
'The Doctor is Sin' is a surprisingly poignant tale of Dr. Venture skirting the dark side. Without the Monarch obsessively pestering him and his brother showing him up in the super-science venue, Venture is somewhat lost. The episode might've worked a little better a little later in the season, but it's possibly the most original and emotional place the series has been taken yet.
'Brock… Am I a bad person? Am I?'
'Home is Where the Hate Is' is one of the season's lesser episodes, but reintroduces us to Sgt. Hatred, who is now Dr. Venture's assigned arch enemy. The standouts here are The Monarch who allows his hatred for Venture overtake him, and the b-plot, which sees Hank, Dean, 21 and 24 running from Dr. Mrs. The Monarch's 'Murderous Moppets'. The pseudo friendship that blossomed between the boys and Monarch's 'boys' during the season two finale is probably one of the show's more endearing developments. The Moppets, who aren't my favourite new characters, are also used to great effect here as Jaws-like forces of nature.
'You're a brainless failure and live entirely off your father's name and fortune!'
'I'm George Bush?'
'The Invisible Hand of Fate' is another flashback heavy episode, which finally reveals the story behind Billy Quiz Boy's robotic hand and missing eye. This packed episode also gives major insight into Pete White, Brock Samson and Phantom Limb. The haphazard fashion in which the writers reach into side gags from the previous seasons and pull a fully formed back story is admirable in that it actually works. The episode doesn't really play into the rest of the season, but it features the best stand alone joke of the year—a spoof the opening title credits of the G.I. Joe movie.
'Well, the Village People called, and they want you to go fucking kill yourselves, you prancing bastard!'
'The Buddy System' is possibly the flat out funniest episode of the entire season, and introduces Dermott into the equation, who starts his Venture Bros. career as a mystery for fans (it's unclear who's son he is, though most assume he's the spawn of Brock), but looks to be a valuable tool for the continued separation of Dean and Hank. The Johnny Quest spoof is thick at Rusty's Day Camp for Boy Adventurers, including direct references in the return of the 'Action Johnny' character. I also personally appreciate the episode as a guy who grew up in Southern Arizona during the advent of the failed Biosphere project.
'If you touch something that melts your fingers off, tell your buddy. If you get a face-full of burning hydrochloric acid, it's your buddy who drags you to one of the many eye wash stations'
During the commentary track writer/director Jackson Publick expresses some dissatisfaction with 'Dr. Quymn, Medicine Woman', but the episode fits snuggly and rightly in the centre of the season. The episode expands on the season theme of Hank and Dean separating as they age, and features more flashbacks to Rusty's terrible childhood. The doppelganger effect of the Quymn and Venture families is good for many laughs, and fans can likely appreciate the 'back to basics' plotting, which both mirrors and teases the boy detective angle that started the series.
'You've gone soft on me Henry Allen So-Called-Venture! You used to be all 'Go Team Venture!' but now… now you're all 'Go Team B-Boobies!''
'What Goes Down Must Come Up' has some shortcomings (the Keith Flint joke is appreciated more than it's actually funny), but is an Order of the Triad heavy episode, so it easily slips in as a personal favourite. Honestly, I could go for an Order of the Triad miniseries. Children of the '80s keep your eyes peeled for all your treasured MTV rejects.
'You're not my mama. She was taken by marauding Blackulas when I was ten.'
'Tears of a Sea Cow' opens with the best pre-credit sequence of the year. After promising to not 'arch' the Ventures, the Monarch and his wife are put up against Dr. Dugong, who the Monarch murders rather unceremoniously. The joke of archenemies being demoted to a simple job title thanks to the bureaucracy of the Guild of Calamitous Intent and O.S.I., who have robbed comic book violence of all its real threat in the Venture Universe. It's a joke that hasn't gotten old yet. The rest of the episode is solid as well, featuring more Hank, Dean, 21 and 24 team up time, and a stunning moment where Hank is endowed with the (mistaken) knowledge that he's immortal (which hasn't paid off quite yet).
'What are you doing?'
'Um, giving your robot Chlamydia?'
'Now Museum, Now You Don't' runs along similar lines to 'The Buddy System' in tone. It's nostalgic, it could stand alone, and it brings back forgotten characters from season one. The saddest aspect of the episode is that the crew couldn't afford Stephen Colbert anymore, so Dr. Richard Impossible's voice has changed (though in his depressed state the new voice works). Beyond the Colbert problem are more classic comic spoofs that actually fit the plot.
'Oh, man. This is all kinds of uncomfortable. On, like, a couple of levels.'
'The Lepidopterists' takes place immediately after 'Tears of a Sea Cow', but for some reason they've separated them on the disc (the episodes did air in this order, but I believe 'Invisible Hand of Fate' originally aired before 'Home is Where the Hate Is', so that apparently doesn't hold any sway). The episode opens with a spectacular Voltron spoof, and leads into the final three episodes pretty smoothly. The show's creators swore they'd permanently kill a major character in season three, and the most likely suspects were henchmen numbers 24 and 21. Upon a first viewing the episode was actually quite suspenseful, as the cocky henchmen tempt fate, and the power of Brock Samson.
'Oh my god, when you were a kid, did you ever make G.I. Joe hump Rainbow Brite?'
'He's what their kid would've looked like'
'Orb' is the most layered and impressive episodes in the show's history, but it's so thick with conspiracy and back story it's also a pretty confusing episode, leaving many questions unanswered. Without a doubt, though, this opens the narrative up to much larger possibilities than any of the other flashback episodes, flashing back not one, not two, but possibly five generations back, to some kind of Victorian era pre-Team Venture.
'I don't wanna play World of Warcraft. Get me a regular dictionary. Uck, internet, it's only good for finding out that your boyfriend is sleeping around. Friggin' MySpace. What, I'm not supposed to look at his friend's comments? They're right on the first page! It's hardly snooping!'
Everything comes to a mostly satisfying end with 'The Family that Slays Together Stays Together Parts I and II'. Things just don't add up to the same level of heart pounding fan boy smatterings of season two's epic final two, but I'm not ready to call it a backslide. The final episode follows a similar pattern to last year's finale (a three party battle with a huge minion body count), and this time the big cliff hanger is clear, as is the effectively upped anti.
'He said, and I quote 'I, like Patty Smyth before me, am a warrior, and will die at the hand of my arch enemy.'
You could easily argue that hi-def is unnecessary in the case of all television animation, but I'm thinking most fans will adore this transfer, warts and all. The major advantage is the vibrancy and smooth colours (some red gradients do display minor noise), but the increased detail is a big advantage as well, especially concerning backgrounds. When I saw season three on television I noticed the newly detailed backgrounds, and I noticed that the episodes were widescreen, but it never dawned on me that Adult Swim was preparing the show for hi-def. The cell animated characters don't quite blend into these newly detailed backgrounds, and some of the special effects are a little too 'digital' looking. The classic Team Venture adventure that precedes 'Now Museum—Now You Don't' is subtly dulled and browned, another bit of fun I didn't notice during the TV airing. As covered during the commentary, some scenes are animated Japanese style, threes instead of twos. I didn't actually notice this on the original airings, so I suppose this might be a disadvantage to the 1080p format. Realistically speaking though, it's pretty minor, and kind of part of the charm. Eagle eyes may notice what they think is low-level noise and blocking in the backgrounds, but these instances aren't moving, and are actually just part of the painting style.
The back of the box misprints the aspect ratio as 2.40:1, rather than the actual presentation of 1.78:1, as seen on television.
I'd still like to hear the glorious metal of Metalocalypse in 5.1, but of all the Adult Swim series Venture Bros. is the ideal for the Dolby TrueHD format. We're talking low-budget cartoon television here, but the digital age affords a pretty big scope of action and music. Most of the track is a mix of dialogue and music, with the dialogue taking over the centre channel, and the score owning the stereo channels. There's not a lot of bleed back to the back channels, which occasionally spring to life during the larger action scenes. The dialogue is ever so slightly over done, but is crystal clear, except, of course, when it's supposed to sound like crap. One of my personal problems with season three (which likely didn't matter to anyone else in the world) was the fact that Publick and Hammer did almost every voice, which robs the series of a little production value. For the most part J.G. Thirwell's music is the star of the track, and it features Hollywood scale depth, though I could use a touch more pump in the LFE department.
Like last year extras begin with another awesomely tangented commentary from Publick and Hammer. Subjects of coverage include the duos discovery of cos-play, their thoughts on The Giger Sanction, their thoughts on the Sugarcubes, the impossibility of Dean and Trianna ever having a real relationship (Shut up! It can happen!), the shock of getting animated sex back from overseas animators, Beverly Cleary books, crazy fan message boards, belt allergies, good hair pieces, Star Wars references (which they promised they wouldn't do during season three), watching people break-up on Myspace, Tetris high scores, and Bibleman. The sound errors of the second season commentary are mostly corrected, though when a truck goes by the Astro Base it's pretty freaking loud. There also appears to be a censored section to the 'Tears of a Sea Cow' commentary. I'm guessing there might have been some possible legal issues.
The Blu-ray disc finishes off with a whole lot of deleted and extended scenes. The scenes are presented at hi-definition storyboard art (in varying degrees of completion), and feature temporary audio, most of it from the real cast (which I suppose isn't saying much considering the writer/directors do the vast majority of the voices). There isn't a lot of deleted plot development, mostly just jokes that couldn't fit in the twenty-two minute runtime. I lost track of the number of scenes, but the total runtime is almost twenty minutes, and are divided by episode for those not fond of the 'play all' option. Also, there's a Tucson joke.
Besides the increased resolution, Blu-ray buyers also have the advantage of getting a CD copy of the series soundtrack. The Music of J.G. Thirwell Volume 1 (which is available separate for DVD fans) features twenty tracks of varying length, and varying rock levels. Many of the tracks are awesome for driving. I speak from experience.
There have been some hints that season four will mark the end of the series. I certainly hope it isn't the case, as I don't think the slight mishandling of this all too epic season is at least full of ideas, and it leaves the groundwork for plenty more mythology and comedy (maybe even a few spin-offs). The 1080p HD and Dolby TrueHD sound isn't needed, but if you've got the set up and want an additional soundtrack CD it's worth the upgrade for sure. I can't wait until this fall.
I should also make a special note of this uncut presentation, which features unfiltered naughty language, and oceans of animated penis (even a few boobs). No, I'm not kidding.
'Boom! Yummy!'

So they got the AR wrong on the packaging for both the DVD and the Blu-ray. Nice.
I love this show. Season 3 Dvd's aspect ratio is also wrong on the packaging. It says it is standard, aka fullscreen. Which it is not, it is 1:85 widescreen.
Kind of wished I had gotten it on Blu ray. Maybe I will double dip some day if I find it cheap. The free music CD sounds awesome.

It has to do with how many frames per second are animated. Japanese animation saves money by only making a new image every 3 frames, which can look a little jittery.
Great review! But what does this mean, exactly? Just curious...
"animated Japanese style, threes instead of twos. "

Let's face it. The biggest brands of skincare are rarely using a man's face to represent their latest line of acne fighting treatments. Yet during the teen years, acne affects men and women relatively equally. The same self-esteem issues that women face when dealing with pimples are felt by men, perhaps even amplified. They are left to deal with it without the benefits of camouflaging makeup and disguising hairdos. So what is a guy to do?
The Hormone Differences
We have all heard that women have estrogen and men have testosterone. The truth is we all have a bit of both. Testosterone is the most common type of hormone called an androgen. Men produce about 15x times more testosterone per day than women. During puberty this hormone is what leads to the typical male characteristics, like thick body hair, more active oil glands, increases in muscle strength, etc. When men work out at the gym, testosterone levels can spike almost 30%. Hence the term of feeling "jacked" is used often post-workout.
The Bad News
Since testosterone is very closely linked to the growth of activity and size of the sebaceous glands, the pores now become more prone to becoming clogged and infected with acne bacteria living under the surface. Body acne can start to occur and cystic acne may appear (those hard nodules under the skin that burn and hurt to the touch). Men that start taking synthetic steroids can get some of the worst acne conceivable and be left with the most debilitating scarring.
The Good News
There are various ways to counter male acne, and the key is to treat it EVERY TIME. Do not think it is not masculine if you do or that it's just a fact of life to be dealt with. This kind of thinking is what leads to those awful pock marks you see on people, and this leads to a lifetime of self-esteem issues. If your acne is moderate to severe, a dermatologist's visit is absolutely necessary. Treatment must be taken consistently and exactly the way the doctor prescribes.
Cleansing becomes very important as those overactive pores need to stay unblocked on the surface to prevent breakouts from increasing in severity and spreading. Using a medicated treatment helps control oil levels and keep the skin unwelcome to acne bacteria.
ZENMED created the Botanical Acne Body Wash for this purpose. It is granular, minty-fresh, and medicated. For men, it can be used on the face, shoulders, chest, and back. We recommend it be used 2 times a day.
The Refining Scrub is also created for skin with an oily tendency. It should be used every day in the morning, followed by the Oil-Free Day Lotion.
Natural Treatments
Some things to consider trying:
– Start taking Omega 3 supplements.
– Something as simple as changing your pillow case every couple of days to remove bacteria can have huge benefits for your skin.
– Shaving your face with a clean, sharp razor will reduce irritation. Always use a shaving balm and follow with moisturizer. Do not shave every day unless absolutely necessary, try going 2-3 days in between.
– Cleansing immediately after sweating prevents clogged pores (the leading cause of acne). Change clothes often during the day if you have body acne, try avoiding synthetic fabrics as well.
– Try a "cut" for 4 weeks. This means the elimination of all dairy (often linked to androgens), white sugar, refined flour products (pasta, cookies, crackers), fruits and juices, soft drinks, energy drinks. Supplement with the Derma Cleanse Supplement to help with elimination and detoxification.
– No pimple popping ever.
As a Parent
It is widely known that acne can lead to severe depression and self-esteem issues. It is also reported that when someone is depressed the less likely they are to follow through on treatment and take care of themselves. So if you are a parent of a male teen going through acne, you need to be aware of possible issues. This means keeping an open door of communication and asking the hard questions, like how their social life is and if they are feeling ok (because no one else is going to). It's important to positively reinforce traits that your teen has while they are going through treatment to encourage continuation and prevent further damage to their self-esteem.
Dear Guy with Acne
Your plight is not ignored by us. If you think that your acne is being noticed more than you are, then something needs to be done. Five minutes a day max and this phase will pass before you know it.

I've been wanting Liquid Pearls for such a long time. I saw them on a tutorial almost a year ago and had my family back in the states in search of this exact time. As soon as I was notified that Scrapbook.com had these in stock, I bought one in every color. It's as easy to use as Stickles and just as beautiful. The shimmer from the colors give it just what you need. I'm in love with Liquid Pearls - they give your project a touch of class and elegance. I also bought the caddy to keep my bottles organized and stored upside down so there are no air bubbles when I use it. For me, if there was a 10 star option, this item would get it!
All of the Liquid Pearls paints are great, with the White Opal being especially nice for Christmas cards. It has a nice, pearly sheen to it that makes cards sparkle. It's easy to apply, just dab a bit on, just make sure not to smash the point because if you do, the paint won't come out. If it gets clogged (I've only had that happen once), take a small pin and put it in the tip. That generally clears it up.
Liquid Pearls are a convenient way to add ooomph to
projects without using the stick-on embellishments.
They are perfect for adding to cards that are going into the mail..
they won't be destroyed by the mail processing machines.
Beautiful results, looking like real pearls.
The Ranger Ink - Liquid Pearls - Paint - in any color, of which I have many, are all great! This particular color, White Opal, is beautiful. When dried, it not only shines but glows.
I love using Liquid Pearls. Instead of buying lots of little stick on pearls, I can make my own in various sizes from this product or use it with a paint brush. Very versatile and fun.

ASUS P6X58-E WS Review
When looking to purchase a new motherboard consumers must ask themselves a few basic questions. It is good to know how many graphics cards you want or need as this will determine the required number of PCI Express x16 slots. Choosing a platform is important if the board will be in a new system. Currently, as a general rule of thumb, Intel is leading performance while AMD is going for affordability. How many SATA ports needed is another thing to keep in mind, six is usually stock, give or take two, but some high-end boards have up to ten! Some will need a motherboard with the intent of running a server. For this task there are workstation class motherboards such as the ASUS P6X58-E WS motherboard. The x58 chipset was designed for workstation usage and can use either i7 or Xeon CPUs. This motherboard has 16+2 phases, dual Intel 82574L Gigabit LAN ports, 2x SATA 3.0, USB 3.0 supporting newer devices, 3x full x16 PCI Express 2.0 slots, and room for 24GB of DDR3 memory! The board also supports a PCI Express x4 SAS card from ASUS based on the Marvell 88SE6440 chipset and called the SASsaby (like the antelope), but good luck finding one. In any case this board should do great for gaming or server-related duties.
Closer Look:
The packaging for the ASUS P6X58-E WS is modest and clean. As this is a workstation board, it doesn't try to look hip and happening as the enthusiast/gamer motherboards do. The front outlines the primary specifications: i7 and 3-way SLI/CrossFireX support, 2x Intel Gigabit LAN ports, and 2x SATA 3.0 ports. The bottom left corner shows four icons indicating proper uses for this board: gaming, productivity, internet, and server. Flipping the box around we get a glimpse at the motherboard with details laid out. Three of the PCI Express x16 length slots operate at full x16 speed while two run at x8. There is also an x1 slot at the bottom. The board uses a NVIDIA NF200 chip to provide these lanes. People may be curious as to why the slots are all full length but it is for compatibility, any length device can be ran in any length slot as long as there is room. But if they aren't the same length then there is possibly a waste of bandwidth at either the device or slot. Thus x16 length slots are ideal. Technically speaking it is easy to modify a smaller-than-x16 slot by clipping the back off to fit a larger card, many [email protected] high-output users do this at home to fit more graphics cards in. But a full length slot provides more structural support (and bandwidth) than an x1! The board comes paired with dual server-class Intel 82574L Gigabit LAN compatible with Windows, Linux, CenOS, and Ubuntu. The LAN chipset also has VMware certification for virtual technology support. Two USB 3.0 and SATA 3.0 ports provide some future proofing. The board supports up to eight channels of high definition audio. For diagnostics, a small card was included that plugs in and provides power and reset buttons as well as a standard two LED HEX outputs.
The front is a flap that opens to provide more information. There are twelve features that are explained on the flap. First is the 16+2 phase power: 16 for vCore and 2 for QPI/memory. The components used are quality, low RDS MOSFETs, ferrite core chokes, and Japanese polymer capacitors. USB 3.0 and SATA 3.0 are both supported with two slots each for next generation support. The board comes with some handy software support: TurboV allows overclocking from within the operating system with almost full control as you would find in the BIOS! AI Suite II bundles all of the featured utilities into one program for control over overclocking, energy management, fan speed control, and voltage and sensor readings. EPU is a real-time power saving engine that can be enabled through an onboard switch or by AI Suite II. The engine is designed for energy optimization by moderating power consumption and fan control. The board supports PCIe 2.0 which provides double the speed and bandwidth over the prior generation. Combining this with an NVIDIA NF200 chipset, the motherboard is able to provide three full x16 slots for 3-way SLI and CrossFireX. The board provides diagnostic support through a plug-in card that provides diagnostic HEX LEDs as well as by lighting an LED next to the component with issues. The card also has power and reset buttons for convenience. Lastly, a SAS upgrade kit is offered by ASUS for direct compatibility with this motherboard. The SASsaby M and 1064E are to be drop-in cards although availability looks nonexistent as of this article. All of these features combined with a Xeon and some NVIDA Tesla/Quadro or AMD Fire cards would make a solid entry server.
Removing the cover and opening the box we find the accessories on top. Removing these and the cardboard cover reveals the motherboard entombed in an antistatic bag. The first glimpse of the motherboard shows that it looks very similar to the ASUS P6T/P6T6/P5E64/ETC motherboards. After organizing everything it is easy to see what came with the motherboard. A user guide and driver/software disk with case badge provide support for installation. Next are the hardware components compromised of a 3-way SLI board, 1 long CrossFireX dongle, the diagnostic module, and two ASUS Q-Connectors for the front panel connections. Lastly there are six SATA cables with five having one 90° end.
With everything unpacked it is time to move on to looking at the motherboard!

Area Rugs: Southwestern RugsSouthwestern rugs are a tradition style of rug that has been produced by Native Americans for more than three hundred years. These days, Southwest rugs are made all over the world but many indigenous families continue to produce these rugs in the traditional way.
When the production of these rugs began, all weavers would have created the textiles by hand. Today this method continues to be the preferred choice, although increased demand has led some manufacturers to use other, much speedier production methods.
Southwestern rugs come in a multitude of sizes, with an enormous range of patterns and designs some of which use traditional family logos and emblems. The designs tend to be highly intricate with a great emphasis on geometric lines and shapes.
If you are looking to buy a Native American rug or carpet you can either buy online or in store. There are lots of trading posts in operation in the area, many of which are supported by the US government. If your requirements are very specific, it is possible to commission your very own pattern directly with a weaver. Many examples of this traditional textile can be found at museums as well as in art galleries where it may be possible to negotiate a good price.

Get the tissues ready! Rick van Beek recently competed in Michigan's Sanford and Sun spring triathlon with his 13-year-old daughter Madison. The girl has cerebral palsy and can neither walk nor talk, so her devoted dad pulled her in a kayak and then in a cart behind his bike. He also ran while pushing her wheelchair in front of him, and carried her during transitions.

"She functions like about a 3-month-old, and one of the very few things that we know she enjoys is being outside, being in the water, feeling the breeze in her hair and in her face, and going over all the bumps," Rick told the Midland Daily News.
The father-daughter duo have been running together for four years and doing triathlons for three. Rich gave up smoking and tobacco and got in shape for Maddy after seeing the look of joy on her face as she was pushed by a runner in a marathon. "I am her legs and she is my heart," the dad wrote in his blog.

Could Arkansas 'Go Green?'
The past few years have been vitally important for supporters of legalizing marijuana. Both Colorado and Washington passed bills allowing legal recreational marijuana use in 2012 and public approval for legalization jumped above 50 percent in 2013. Sales began Jan. 1 of 2014 in Colorado and are due to start later this year in Washington. Twenty states as well as the District of Columbia already have medical marijuana laws. Alaskan voters will have their say on legalization for recreational use this summer. Oregon voters could also vote on the issue this year. In California, drug-reform groups are deciding whether to push a ballot measure in 2014 or wait until the 2016 presidential election. And now, there is a push to put a medical marijuana bill on the 2014 ballot in Arkansas.
President Barack Obama recently told The New Yorker magazine that he considers marijuana less dangerous to consumers than alcohol and emphasized the importance of the legalization experiments in Washington and Colorado. Obama's administration has criticized drug war driven incarceration rates in the U.S. and announced that it will allow banks to do business with licensed marijuana operations. Previously, these operations have been largely cash-only because federal law forbids financial institutions from processing marijuana-related transactions.
The U.S. Department of Justice announced in 2009 that it wouldn't target medical marijuana patients. In August of 2013, the agency stated that they wouldn't interfere with the laws in Colorado and Washington, which regulate the growth and sale of taxed pot for recreational use.
Public opinion has changed drastically. In October of 2013, a gallup pole showed that for the first time, a clear majority of Americans, 58 percent, said that marijuana should be legalized. Only 39 percent opposed legalization. This is a drastic change from when the first gallup pole was taken on the issue in 1969 when only 12 percent favored legalization. 38 percent of Americans admitted to having tried marijuana last year, which may be a contributing factor to greater acceptance.
With swelling public approval, is legalized medical marijuana on the horizon in Arkansas? There are two chances to add medical marijuana to the November 2014 ballot. The first comes from the Arkansans for Responsible Medicine group. They have until July 7, 2014 to collect 62,507 signatures for registered Arkansas voters in order to quality its proposed initiative for the November ballot. Under the proposal, a patient with a doctor's certification that he or she suffers from a malady included on a list of conditions that might be helped by marijuana could purchase the drug from dispensaries. The proposal prohibits people from growing their own marijuana. The sale of marijuana would be subject to all state and local taxes and all the taxes collected would be distributed evenly among the Newborn Umbilical Cord Blood Bank, a newly created Arkansas Historic Preservation Fund, the Public Health Fund, and the Behavioral Health Services Account Fund. The ballot title is "The Arkansas Medical Marijuana Act."
A second proposal comes from the Arkansans for Compassionate Care. This group was successful in 2012 of getting its proposal on the ballot, but it was rejected by voters. 507,757 people voted for the issue, which totaled 48.56 percent of the vote. 537,898 voters voted against the issue, totaling 51.44 percent of the vote. With an amended version of their proposed act, the Arkansans for Compassionate Care hope to receive enough signatures to put forth their initiative again. This initiative allows dispensaries but also allows a patient to grow their own marijuana limited to six plants with no more than three in flower. Patients and caregivers wanting to grow at home would have to apply for "Hardship Cultivation Certificates." The proposal does not outline what would qualify an individual for that license, leaving the decision to the state health department. The same number of signatures are needed for this initiative to end up on the ballot and will be called "The Arkansas Medical Cannabis Act."
David Couch, head of Arkansans for Responsible Medicine, said that he wrote his proposal without home cultivation after polling showed that as many as 20 percent of "no" votes in 2012 came from people who said they would have voted for the bill if it had limited marijuana cultivation to dispensaries only.
So what are the benefits and risks of medical marijuana?
Former U.S. Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders, MD stated in a 2004 editorial in Providence Journal that, "The evidence is overwhelming that marijuana can relieve certain types of pain, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms caused by such illnesses as multiple sclerosis, cancer and AIDS -- or by the harsh drugs sometimes used to treat them. And it can do so with remarkable safety. Indeed, marijuana is less toxic than many of the drugs that physicians prescribe every day."
However, not everyone is so confident. Elin Kondrad, MD, Medical Director for the Family Medicine Center at the St. Anthony Family Medicine Residency, and Alfred O. Reid, MA, Assistant Professor and Director of Information and Research Services at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, published a study in Jan/Feb of 2013 in the Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine titled "Colorado Family Physicians' Attitudes Towards Medical Marijuana." In the study, they stated, "Despite a high prevalence of use in Colorado, most family physicians are not convinced of marijuana's health benefits and believe its use carries risks. Nearly all agreed on the need for further medical education about medical marijuana..." Kondrad and Reid distributed an online survey to the 1727 members of the Colorado Academy of Family Physicians in January of 2011. The survey had a 30 percent response rate and of the physicians surveyed only 31 percent reported ever recommending medical marijuana to a patient.
According to the study, "Of responding physicians, 46 percent said that physicians should not recommend marijuana as a medial therapy at all; 19 percent agreed that physicians should recommend medical marijuana. When asked about benefits of marijuana use, 27 percent of those surveyed agreed that there were significant physical health benefits, while 41 percent disagreed. Fifteen percent agreed that there were significant mental health benefits, while 54 percent disagreed."
On Feb. 27, representatives will be at the Bryant Library from 6-7:45 p.m. to discuss the Arkansas Medical Cannabis Act. It is an opportunity for anyone to learn what the act does and doesn't do for Arkansas as well as gives residents an opportunity to sign the petition if interested.

Domestic ferrets are the third most popular house pet in the United States. They make good pets since they are quiet, entertaining, and relatively low maintenance. Due to their exuberant personality, ferrets are generally better suited as pets for adults or for older children.
Characteristics: Ferrets are small mammals usually weighing less than 5 pounds. The males are much larger than females. Ferrets reach puberty at 4 to 8 months and females produce an average litter size between 8 to 10 kits. Life expectancy is up to 8 years but longer if fed a good diet and with regular veterinary care.
Appearance: There are two basic colors of ferrets; sable and albino, but there are many color mutations, producing a wide range of shades and coat patterns. Color variations include Black, Champagne, Cinnamon, and Chocolate.
#1 Preventable Health Problem: Poor nutrition is the cause of several health problems. Feeding low quality, generic cat food results in malnutrition due to the low amount of quality protein. It can also increase the risk of bladder stones. Overfeeding sweet treats can result in obesity and dental problems.
Preferences: Ferrets are a living contradiction. They are extremely active and energetic pets but also love to nap. They enjoy playing and are extremely curious, so it is important to let them play in a ferret-proof room. Provide a soft and snug nest for napping once they are back in their cage.
Best Features: Their silly and unpredictable antics make ferrets irresistible and a joy to watch. Agile and inquisitive, ferrets are a bundle of energy that spring into action when let out to play.
Housing: Ferret >cages should include a litter box with a very low entrance, a no-tip water bowl as well as a clip-on food dish, and a sleeping tube or nest. Caged ferrets need to be let out for at least 4 or more hours every day to play in a room that has been ferret-proofed.
Diet: Ferrets require a concentrated diet that is high in energy and protein but low in fiber. Provide quality foods specifically formulated for ferrets as well as a steady source of fresh water. Ferrets will stop eating if they are without water for 24 hours.

NASA is investing $125,000 to bring 3D printing somewhere it's never been before: into the kitchen.
We've all seen the replicator from "Star Trek." You just walk up to it and say something like (in your best Jean-Luc Picard voice) "Tea, Earl Grey, hot." And presto, it makes a perfect cup for you.
NASA would love to have something like that, but will have to start with a more basic model. That's where Anjan Contractor and his company, Systems and Materials Research Corporation, come into play. They showed NASA a demo of a food-based 3D printer making a chocolate pastry, and that got them a six-month, $125,000 grant to build a complete prototype system.
NASA is interested in this because the substrate used by the printer could be stored as a dry powder. So there might be one tube for the printer filled with sugar, another with protein powder, another with specific dried foods and several with flavoring ingredients. Stored in the right conditions, the raw materials, the stuff the printer needs to make food, might be good for 30 years.
In its proposal summary, NASA says the idea is to "test a complete nutritional system for long duration missions beyond low Earth orbit," which, theoretically at least, could include an eventual manned mission to Mars. NASA also notes that a successful 3D food printer also could be used by the military, providing optimal nutrition to warfighters while cutting down on logistical challenges and waste.
Printing out a food item on the printer, anything from a hot dog to a chocolate cake, would simply be a two-fold process. First, the powdered fuel would need to be reconstituted with the right amount of water and in the right ratios. Apparently the food can be baked as its being reconstituted.
Then it would need to be sprayed out of the nozzle in a pattern to shape the food item into whatever it's supposed to look like, or at least into something edible. That second part is almost no different than how other 3D printers work when building a model from a CAD file out of ABS plastic or harder substrates. In this case, you just eat the finished product.
NASA struggles with how to keep astronauts alive in space, but also how to keep them happy. Eating the type of food one might pack for a long campout would get very old after a few weeks. Eating the same thing for years on end might be maddening. So a machine that can prepare different kinds of food and still maintain a nutritional balance has a lot of appeal. In fact, pizza is on NASA's early menu, because it's made in layers, which would be conducive to printing. It would depend on the quality of the ingredients, but it would probably be no worse than eating at most cafeterias.
On a large scale, NASA and Contractor envision food printers helping to end hunger around the world. NASA's summary notes that the world's population is expected to reach 12 billion by the end of the century, and that effective 3D printing of food, "may avoid food shortage, inflation, starvation, famine and even food wars."
Contractor told Quartz that if a cheap food base, the tubes of fuel and flavoring, could be loaded up and printed out in homes, it not only would it eliminate waste, but go a long way toward stopping hunger too. Though it might take some getting used to, the current unchecked population boom might create a real need for something like a food printer.
"I think, and many economists think, that current food systems can't supply 12 billion people sufficiently," Contractor told Quartz. "So we eventually have to change our perception of what we see as food."
Contractor says he will keep the software that drives his food printer open-source — his design uses the RepRap open-source printer — so that people can look at the code, see how the machine works and create their own food recipes.
I don't think Contractor's vision of our food future is all that bad. I'd really like to be able to print out a nice dinner without having to fire up the stove or head out to the store, other than to occasionally refill my food printer's bins. As long as I can create potato chips along with all the healthy fare, I think I'll be happy. Oh, and a cup of hot Earl Grey tea would be lovely too, if that's not too much to ask.

I'm still waiting for this fragrance printer in order to have smell-a- vision. Astronauts in a long duration space mission, varying smells and pleasant odors might actually be beneficial.
When I was young and worked in Food Service we used to call the flat pizza that you got in snackbars "cardboard pizza". It would not seem to be very difficult to mimic something of that consistency. Printed pizza might actually taste better.
What's next -- iPhoneyBaloney? Astronauts in the 60's had to endure food from a tube. Junk food, by any other name. Onboard farms with hydroponics and solar-mimic lighting would be a longer term solution, but DOD stocks of powdered eggs and powdered milk and powdered beer may yet see the light of day on Mars. One billion bottles of beer on the (FB) wall . . .
I probably would not let my kids eat what they printed. Sugar and "flavoring" to make up for lack of real food value should not be acceptable ingredients.
Total logic fail at the point of "ending world hunger." Still gotta grow the raw materials, and this li'l ol' physics concept called entropy means it takes a fewfold more hours a' sunlight to fab up a Fruit.TNG than it would to just grow an apple. The "unchecked population growth" is another kinda' half-truth altogether.
