One of the most relaxing locations among many relaxing locations along the Gold Coast, Tweed Heads leads the way with a laid back atmosphere, world class beaches and surfing. It is part of an area called The Tweed which is a magical landscape within Australia's Green Cauldron, nominated by Tourism Australia as a Natural Landscape.
Here you are able to travel extensively to see all of these wonders, so you can stop by the local Budget Rent a Car location to find the perfect vehicle. You can start by driving to the Tweed Endeavour Cruises who have a myriad of cruises to choose from but they are the only Rainforest Cruise on the Gold Coast. They go up the Tweed River and into the Terranora Lakes, offering spectacular nature and wildlife views. They have huge comfortable ships and offer wonderful lunches during your time on the water.
For some sun and relaxation take your Budget care hire to Duranbah Beach, the northern most beach in New South Wales. It is eastern facing so it receives good swells almost all the time for those who enjoy some surfing. Just a short walk up the beach takes you into Coolangatta, Queensland and a different time zone. Tweeds Head and Coolangatta are considered Twin Towns as they sit side by side but in different states.
Right on the border between the states is the Captain Cook Memorial and Lighthouse situated on Point Danger Lookout. This Point was named as Captain Cook sailed down the Gold Coast in the 1700's to warn other mariners of its dangerous waters.
If you wish to head out to sea and see some wildlife drive your Budget rental car to Coolangatta Whale Watch which is actually in Tweed Heads. This is the only whale watching boat in the area, they have 100% sighting success and your trip will be narrated by zoologists, not just some person they hired to read a script. It is an experienced crew with a solid boat to make your trip out to sea comfortable.

Doug Parker is a persistent man. And, if he had his way, he would be a serial consolidator. The US Airways chief executive wrote to Gerald Grinstein, his counterpart at Delta Air Lines, on 29 September proposing an $8 billion merger between his carrier and Atlanta-based Delta. The news of Parker's approach broke in mid-November.
Parker is keen on mergers. His letter to Grinstein came almost exactly a year after Parker's America West completed its merger with US Airways. In terms of subsequent performance, the new US Airways is a relative success so far. It has posted three consecutive profitable quarters excluding special items like hedging and post-merger charges. Perhaps Parker has the magic touch to make mergers work?
This is the second time Parker has sought a merger with Delta, which is now 14 months into bankruptcy reorganisation. He telephoned Grinstein for the first time earlier this year with his merger idea. Then, as now, Grinstein and Delta are reluctant to be wooed. They will review Parker's offer but prefer to fight their own way out of an agonising bankruptcy process, hoping to emerge in the first half of next year.
Parker is, of course, not alone in advocating consolidation. Airline chiefs from around the industry, each with self-interest in mind, have urged mergers. His approach leads many observers to foresee it launching a wave of consolidation. There is not a wave, but recent deals show at least a few ripples appearing. One of the most significant this year is in Asia where Cathay Pacific has acquired Hong Kong rival Dragonair. On the other hand, any combination between Air New Zealand and Qantas, who had proposed a full equity alliance in late 2002, appears quashed. They have just received the regulatory thumbs down for a less ambitious codeshare plan.
In Europe three smaller acquisitions look set to tidy up domestic market situations. Belgium's SN Brussels and Virgin Express are finally merging, creating a single carrier - Brussels Airlines - in the process. In the UK, British Airways is "selling" its loss-making regional airline business BA Connect to low-fares player flybe. In Portugal TAP is buying rival Portugalia. Of more seismic proportions in Europe is Ryanair's audacious bid for fellow Irish carrier Aer Lingus.
The hostile bids by both Ryanair and US Airways for market rivals could be doomed to fail. Regardless of success or failure, these bold attempts set merger mania going. The previously unthinkable gets thought.
The theory of mergers sounds fine, but the risks are many, and anyone treading the merger path in the airline industry should be cautious about promising too much, too soon. As one analyst notes, most airline mergers have "destroyed far more wealth than they have created".
In addition, with the industry at or around the top of the cycle there is the risk of paying top dollar for the intended target. Then the onus on stripping costs out of the merged entity becomes even more acute as the cycle wanes and traffic and revenue slows.
Mergers can be a defensive play, such as Lufthansa's acquisition of Swiss nearly two years ago. However, the bigger win comes if the deal gives the acquirer access to real structural growth and access to new markets. The Cathay Pacific/Dragonair combination fits this criterion nicely. The US Airways bid for Delta talks more about synergy value - put at $1.5 billion - than opportunities to expand.
Parker set out his merger motivations in a videotaped message to employees: "We're looking to control our own destiny and ensure that we have an airline that can compete in any scenario that may emerge. We want to get to where we never have to worry ever again."
The worries need to be put away early in the merger process by being conservative in the cost promises and diligent in seeking the path to growth. Answer these questions honestly and then there's the next hurdle to tackle: persuading the regulators.
This is the second approach US Airways has made to Delta Air Lines

My husband and I had such a great time at the Fire in the Triangle finale. It was impressively organized and well-run and completely worth the cost of admission. The finalists were Team Weathervane, led by Chef Ryan Payne and Team Herons, led by Chef John Childers. We were all surprised to find out there were two secret ingredients that night – chocolate and grits (specifically Mona Lisa Chocolates and grits from Old Mill of Guilford). Certainly sounded like a challenge to me.
We rated each course on presentation, aroma, flavor, and accompaniments, as well as creativity and execution of the secret ingredient.

MyBlogLog and the advantages of being a girl
Deprecated: Function eregi() is deprecated in /nfs/c02/h06/mnt/46791/domains/thewrongadvices.com/html/wp-content/plugins/tpbc.php on line 96
I'm a sucker for a pretty face. I can't help it. So when I'm exploring MyBlogLog and I see a pretty face I click on it. It's just instinct. Inevitably I will go and check out their blog. I'm interested in what pretty girls have to say. I'm a guy, it's genetic.
Everyone has seen similar behaviour in the real world. Ever worked in an office with a attractive girl who wasn't particular good at her job? Notice how quickly the guys would come to her aid and pick up the slack? Guy's gravitate towards beauty. And girls will take advantage of it. And there's nothing wrong with that.
What I find amusing is the amount of profiles on MyBlogLog that tack on a girls face just to get some exposure. I suppose it works too. Not that long ago Shoemoney and Marketing Pilgrim faced off to see who could get more members to join their community. Shoemoney had a picture of one of his employees Nicole on his page, and Marketing Pilgrim was giving away a free Zune to a random member. Shoemoney looks to have won that one, but considering it was a Zune that was being given away I'd say it's a little inconclusive.
It's easy to spot when someones trying to get some traffic. If their picture looks like a centrefold model or their blog is about seo, marketing, money making, etc then chances are they are baiting. But guys will keep clicking on those pretty faces.
What I'd love to know is if the reverse is true. Do the ladies see an attractive guy and go check out his page? Probably not.

This was our porch. I loved it just fine, but it was damaged in a storm last spring. Oh, and it was rotten underneath. But it lived a good life. It was 33.
Within a few hours, this was our porch.
This was my punks' contribution to the porch project. They're very, very helpful. Hardworking, too. They stay right on task and don't stop 'til the job is done.
And I just love having workmen here, by the way; my punks are so bored with me, they jump at the chance to interact with other humans. So I just kick them outside and make the workmen watch 'em all day. Last time I checked, they were rooting around in the dumpster.
Country life. It's so idyllic. My children have such freedom.
A few hours later, this was our porch.
Guys, um, I've decided I want our old porch back. Is it too late to change my mind?

Is that a pond beyond what used to be your porch? Beautiful view. Love the no shoes. Can't wait to see the finished product
Miz Booshay On Saturday, August 25 at 8:18 am
Love that little tower of bricks.
(in my best curators voice): Note the flying buttresses.
Katie (my 2nd grader) knows much more about the neighbors than I do.
She is so lonely that she is delighted to play with the two year old next doorr.
She might not be able to talk..but she sure can listen!
Windy On Saturday, August 25 at 8:42 am
I can imagine the mess that is coming into your house until this is completed. Maybe one of the punks will turn out to be an architect after this experience of working on the porch. As I recall, youngest male punk hadn't chosen his profession yet.
Looking forward to seeing pictures of the completed porch.
Virginia On Saturday, August 25 at 8:42 am
Your children have such freedom along with security/safety from predators and other low lifes. Oh sure, they may get a few bumps and bruises (or burned hands from picking up the branding iron) but all those things can be repaired.
And….what is that thing in the second photo?
[email protected] On Saturday, August 25 at 8:44 am
What a beautiful view you have!
Tammy/Photography for Fun On Saturday, August 25 at 8:54 am
How long till we see the finished product? I bet it will be wonderful!
Ella On Saturday, August 25 at 9:02 am
Very nice! Can't wait to see the new porch.
Nancy On Saturday, August 25 at 9:02 am
Beautiful view with the pond. I'll be watching for the finished project. And I'll pray for no rain until it is complete.
Briget On Saturday, August 25 at 9:06 am
Ah, the Bliss that is the middle of the renovation project – NOT. We just finished our kitchen and I thought I'd run amok if I had to try to cook one more meal in our dark, unfinished basement. But here I sit in the bee-youtiful new kitchen and it was worth all of it.
I love your view, too!
Also, old Aussie joke (my mother was Australian). Little girl begins to spend her days with the workers building a new house next door. She becomes a sort of mascot for them, and on payday they give her a shiny new 50 cent piece. When her mother takes her to the bank to deposit her "paycheck", the teller is charmed at the story and says, "And will you be building any MORE houses next week?"
To which the darling little girl replies,
"We will if we ever get the f*cking bricks".
Just a heads up for ya, Ree…
Heidi the Hick On Saturday, August 25 at 9:11 am
Gah! Brings back bad memories!! Our entire house was dug up two years ago (in winter!) and we lost our deck. It got cut up and put in a dumpster. It wasn't the best deck. but it was holding together alright. Now we have a set of rickety steps. And a gravel "patio". We're still in debt from the house project so the new deck/porch has to wait.
It's true though, the kids looooved the machinery and the workers. Hey mister. Whatcha doin?
Me on the other hand…After a few months I just wanted them all to take their power tools and get in their vans and leave.
Which is really all just a long drawn out way of me saying…
Jenni in KS On Saturday, August 25 at 9:13 am
LOL at Briget's comment! Now imagine being married or born into a family of construction workers. Construction workers know the best dirty jokes and have quite colorful speech. I believe it's one of their natural gifts. You know, like the Irish have the gift of the gab or some such Blarney. Ah, my children have been blessed;o)

Amy On Saturday, August 25 at 9:30 am
Perhaps the punks built the "tower" as a monument to the old porch?
David Mills On Saturday, August 25 at 9:36 am
Don't ask for your porch back. Once we guys get out hands on a toy like a Bobcat, fahgeddaboudit. Vroooom vrooom!
jettied On Saturday, August 25 at 9:37 am
i have to say that at 1st glance i thought oohhh my did the find a grave stone??? thinking they dug it up!!
Lauren Dillon On Saturday, August 25 at 9:49 am
Porch or no porch, it sure is green and idyllic your way. I had forgotten how lovely OK could be. I lived there for 7 years between Tulsa and Stillwater.
BTW, I used to have a friend from P-City who was on the wrestling team (I was a mat maid for Jenks HS outside of Tulsa). His name was Ronnie Glenn and he was my best guy friend for years until I lost touch with him after he married. He'd be around 45 now. You or your wrestling brother don't know him, do you? I miss him (and Oklahoma).
Stacie On Saturday, August 25 at 9:54 am
Don't worry, it'll be done before you know it and you'll love it and you'll hardly remember the mess those guys created during the process.
Pics of the finished project please..
Nancy in AK On Saturday, August 25 at 10:02 am
I love your (old) porch. I love how everything about your ranch seems big. Your kitchen is huge and this porch and picnic/chairs area seems huge! It seems as if your place is made for lots of people – a big family and/or lots of cowboys hanging out.
Angela Hoffmann On Saturday, August 25 at 10:03 am
oooh how fun! construction….I am married to a Gemini…and am one myself…he got the end that needs constant change…so it is almost guaranteed that i will endure some sort of construction or redo or addition to our house at least every other year! We currently are under construction now too….but like some previously said…the boys are entertained!1 yeeha….and the workers are so sweet, they are becoming like family after so many projects..rofl~..so i tolerate it…
hey i didn't realize that you are in Oklahoma….i graduated from Highschool in Tulsa..Nathan Hale…i loved Oklahoma..except for the heat…bleh it about kills me!….I haven't been there in …gosh a gazillion years…okay it has been 22 years, my oldest daughter was born there…the rest of my kiddos were born here in Michigan.
Miss Wisabus On Saturday, August 25 at 10:07 am
Rooting around the dumpster
Reminds me of the time my brothers and I came in, soaked up to the knees after wading around in our LAGOON. Umm. Yeah. Idyllic.
Swamp Witch On Saturday, August 25 at 10:23 am
I dated a guy that was "rotten underneath" one time.
Did you say you're getting a new Porsche?
Julie On Saturday, August 25 at 10:27 am
I live in the middle of a huge city. You would think my kids never saw another living being. As soon as anyone steps into the boundary of our yard they are held captive in conversation by my son and hugged to death by my daughter. It must be something about having people in their space.
Cindy Z On Saturday, August 25 at 10:28 am
What a porch! I can't wait to see the new one! My porch ummmm cement patio is about two feet by four feet and looks into 12 other condos facing us My dog enjoys look out onto it though!
Pam 'Oh Da Woods On Saturday, August 25 at 10:37 am
YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!! Ree, I have a tent I use here in "Da Woods" if you need to borrow it!!
Teryn On Saturday, August 25 at 10:39 am
Construction is scary, but that view … can I come live with you? (After the porch is done.)
BOSSY On Saturday, August 25 at 10:56 am
Bossy's back porch decking is held together with two coats of green paint.
jenny On Saturday, August 25 at 11:05 am
Love the pictures of the sunset! Can't wait to see your new porch. Love how you can boot your kids out for garbage rummaging here in the "city" I am won't let mine out unless I am watching them.
Still have not cleaned out my suburban! Will get to it soon. How about you, clean yours out yet?
meme On Saturday, August 25 at 11:16 am
…and what does the "mud hole" i.e. missing porch look like after all of the rain storms last night? Hope the running water didn't drain toward the house…could certainly slow down construction.
Nat On Saturday, August 25 at 11:19 am
I am pretty sure that porch has a larger footprint than my entire house.
I live in a decidedly urban environment. They redid the sewers on our street. The Boy spend all summer out there watching the guys. One they they'd made a large deep trench in front of the house… the guy got out of his backhoe and carried the Boy over. The child smiled for a week.
Do you teach the kids year round?
Nan On Saturday, August 25 at 11:31 am
Ohh have fun getting a new porch! I'm sure it will be better than your old deck…
But hey… since when is 33 a full life?! YIKES!! That leaves me very little time to go out and get fulfilled! ;^P
Kim On Saturday, August 25 at 1:36 pm
I love me a good porch. I hope the replacement porch is so awe-inspiring that your old porch is no longer desperately missed!
Kit On Saturday, August 25 at 2:07 pm
I'm 45 but will you and MM adopt me? I am sooo handy with a power tool and also pretty good as kitchen help. Found your PW cooks blog about 3 months ago so why only today did I find this?!?!? Lost weekend it will be going back and catching up.
My house is tiny but about 130 years old and boy does my porch need to be rebuilt! What an inspiration you are!
robscat On Saturday, August 25 at 2:20 pm
beautiful porch…beautiful view…beautiful person…
Melissa in NZ On Saturday, August 25 at 3:28 pm
Egad! Nice view though. I bet the new one will be spectacular!
I'm glad you pointed out that that wasn't MM in the first shot … if that were he, that would be one change I just couldn't handle!!!
kristi On Saturday, August 25 at 3:47 pm
the pics of your for the moment not there front porch and that absolutely incredible pink sunrise and the little monument your kiddos built make me want to leave the Gulf coast and be a frontierwoman
momto3cubs On Saturday, August 25 at 4:51 pm
You sure have a wonderful place. Your own picnic area by a pond, very nice. And the huge porch, wow, I think we'd be out there often! Can't wait to see the new one when finished!
Anonymous On Saturday, August 25 at 5:37 pm
kim-d On Saturday, August 25 at 6:32 pm
As I've probably already commented several times, I have been into the house-spiffing-up for over a year now–both inside and outside. Outside beats inside while the work is being done! But I don't have to tell you that…What I do want to say is, I love Briget's joke, and…sweet, indeed! Can't wait to see the finished product!
Deb On Saturday, August 25 at 7:04 pm
The "whats that?" hmmmm going out on a limb here but could it be a jack? possibly holding up a supporting beam?
Good luck with the construction! Hope it goes fast and without delay!
ashpags On Saturday, August 25 at 8:05 pm
Ooh! I can't wait to see the new porch! And there is nothing wrong with no shoes – it's the only way to go when you're hanging around the house/yard!
CrazyRN (Brooke) On Saturday, August 25 at 8:28 pm
I soooo know what you are going thru! My hubby has been remodeling our porch for A YEAR, yes….a YEAR!! We live in a 1908 Victorian house, it has a huge wrap-around porch with 8 large columns. Our deck in nearly 60 years old, so I know what you mean about rotten wood. It doesn't help that my hubby has OCD and won't let anyone help him with the project.
I can't wait to see your new porch!! I bet it will be gorgeous!!!!!
I love your view from the porch!! Do you have a hammock to just chill in?
lis On Saturday, August 25 at 11:54 pm
Careful there P.Dub, my folks started last Jan. to have a beautiful new covered porch done, it's turned into a huge shop in the back (huge), and an addition to the house rather than a porch which means remodeled add on to kitchen and family rm., then why not bump out the master bath 5 feet and walk in closet,oyeee!
They moved in a yr. ago, poor neighbors, it's really a bad sign when you have a porta-john parked on the side of your garage for months.
Now if they only had your wonderful view, really is neat!
karalyn On Sunday, August 26 at 12:44 am

When there done with yours can you send em on over to my place i could use a little help with my foundation;)
kids with shoes? do you mean some kids actually wear them?

Ree, your suffering has been short compared to my own "porch suffering".

Forests are beautiful, but they are also essential to the production of the timber that we use to make paper and build houses. Oil and natural gas remain cornerstones of energy production in the United States, but their development can scar the landscape, destroy wildlife habitat, and (as the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe underscored) devastate oceans and coasts. Millions of acres of grasslands in the United States are devoted to cattle grazing, but at the possible cost of serious soil erosion. Mining for metals is essential to our economy, but requires massive disturbance of the land. We designate lands as parks and wilderness to protect natural values, but at what cost and for what purposes?
How does the law manage these conflicting goals for the management of our natural resources? The answer to that question is particularly challenging in the United States where over 30% of the land is owned by the federal government, including much of the land most valuable for the economic production of natural resources and the protection of important environmental benefits. That percentage rises to over 50% in California, and much higher in other Western states. Accordingly, how the law manages natural resources in the United States involves questions of not just private property, but the design and management of public institutions.
To help answer these questions, this course surveys the management of public and private natural resources, with a particular focus on management of federal lands such as National Forests, Bureau of Land Management lands, and National Parks. The course looks closely at the agencies that manage those public lands, and explores the role that courts and the legal system should play in supervising how those agencies manage the lands and the associated natural resources. We will cover a substantial amount of administrative law and its application to natural resources management. We will also talk about state and federal regulation of natural resources on private lands including oil and gas law and the state public trust doctrine. Statutes covered in detail include the National Forest Management Act, the General Mining Law of 1872, the Taylor Grazing Act, the Federal Lands Policy and Management Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, and the Wilderness Act. Students may fulfill the writing requirement through a paper option in this class.
Familiarity with property law, basic US constitutional law, and administrative law are helpful, but not necessary for the class.

BHP Plans to Start Up Potash Plant in 2015
10:57 AM MDT | June 8, 2010 | Nancy Seewald
Mining firm BHP Billiton (Melbourne) says it expects to begin producing potash at Jansen, Saskatchewan by 2015, marking the company's entry into the potash market. BHP expects to begin a feasibility study during the second half of the year at Jansen, where the company owns a significant amount of mineral-rich land. Planned capacity at full production would be about 8 million m.t./year. "Potash is strategically important for BHP, offering the group an avenue for significant growth and further diversification by commodity, customer, and...

text: Too Faced Red Stiletto La Creme Lipstick ($21.00 for 0.11 oz.) is described as a "classic red." It's a slightly muted, medium red with warm, orange undertones and a luminous sheen. It had mostly opaque color coverage, and the consistency was very emollient and creamy. I did notice some feathering after four hours of wear, and the color lasted for four and a half hours well. It was lightly hydrating during that time. Revlon Provocateur (135) (P, $8.99) is more matte. Anna Sui Minnie Mouse (01) (LE) is brighter. Chanel Dialogue (P, $34.00) is slightly more muted, more matte. See comparison swatches.

Background: You've been asked to design a transport for a future noir game/film. After defeating one of the henchman the protagonist has to get to the secret (underground/underwater/in orbit) base. Design the vehicle to get him there, and specify how he obtains it.
1. Design something to get the hero to the secret base.
2. Future noir = film noir + future.
Mesdammes et Monsieurs je vous presente LA BETE NOIRE
This car belongs to a corrupt politician. It is the only car allowed to pass unchecked into the high security bunker, and is the mode of entry chosen by the spy, who is attempting to expose the highly secretive work going on there.
"I put in a bypass circuit with a switch so I could cut the power to the guardhouse. Using the switch accomplished two things. First, the guard came running around to the utility box to see what happened. More importantly, any video feed to below was hopefully cut off. I had to subdue the guard without killing him, so when I briefly turned back on the power with my remote I could use his hand on the livescan actuator. I pushed him onto the gondola. The reception committee below would probably kill him when they shot up the gondola. These things can't be helped. I just hoped nobody saw me on a video camera, and they were stupid enough to send the whole reception committee up to the guardhouse when they found the dead guard. I planned to be on the other gondola because there was no way I could climb down into the facility with all that ice on the walls."
"Dis is a very beautiful machine Jimmy. Very nice."
Uncomfortable silence
"I spent fifteen years on the force Jimmy, and I could only dream about sumthin' like dis. But here you are, two years in and a dapper man about town Jimmy, a dapper fuckin' man. And when someone like you, like you used to be, a cop with nothing to lose, no family to worry about... is in the hands of the don mazulas, well... I have to wonder Jimmy, who the hell aint? You have to wonder about what's worth saving.
"That's why im takin' these keys Jimmy. I figure, if I'm gonna go out, it's gonna be in style Jimmy.
"It's all about style."
The secret base was over 15 light years away. Following my encounter with Spade Kang-Bido, I spent 6 months sifting through the gloam of Amstertown, looking for any passage to the faraway star system. No dice. The base was a secret base, after all, and no ordinary channels would get me there. One night during a rooster pit fight, my luck broke. A strung up Cake dealer, Snecky, was bragging about his 'business'. Told me about one of his customers that was 15 light years out that couldn't get enough of his stuff. He sent regular shipments via unregisterd freight pilots. Snecky didn't reveal the name of the ship, but after a few days of snooping around the sleazy maintenance docks, i found it. The 'Edna' wasn't much to look at. It might have been prettier on it's inaugural voyage, but had suffered from neglect and paid the predictable price. For me, it was a beautiful sight to behold. Two hundred meters down the runway, and this wonderful beast was going to bring me right to the doorstep of my enemy. The price? All the money I had in this world...and 15 years of my life stuck in a glass freezer tube. Revenge can be costly at times. I walked down the long gangplank, looking forward to a dish that was to be served so very cold.

When the vehicle broke from the city's choking black fog, time seemed to stop. Orange cream clouds drifted across paint that had never before touched direct sunlight. Drake's hand eased off the throttle.
They had escaped but their time together was rapidly fading. Shelly's breathing came in short, desperate bursts as her warm life continued to puddle into the grooves of the leather bench seat. The sunset reflected off her wet eyes and into his and the only words his mouth could form were, "Thank you".

Voted for Marco Mazzoni. That's one badass noir transport.
Everyone put in something unique in their designs. This is one awesome round!
January 25th, 2007 #3
Voted for goran, for me the best combination of design, future element and atmosphere. I'd appreciate C&C on mine if anybody has some.
January 25th, 2007 #4
voted for sillikone
graphuji, i liked yours a lot, especially the details like the coffee mug stain on the image.
I think all the entries were great, it was more a case that sillikones, in look and colour balance in the image especially, appealed to me the most.
January 27th, 2007 #5
voted for marco mazzoni. great painting and original design. i like the gold trim, and all those other 1930's-esque details you worked in. solid work!
goran was a close second for me. as a poster, it kicks ass! i would have liked to have seen a closer view of the car/flyer design. but hey, great image. love that scratchy graphic novel style you are cultivating.
graphuji, larkin2 - sweet ride designs!
evamonkeyn2 - also a really cool design. very sexy. nice rendering work too. one thing - the highlights definitely add to the lustre of the smooth surface, but i might tone them down a bit in places so they dont distract your eye.
my unsolicited 2 cents.
good round everyone.
February 2nd, 2007 #6
Heh, That's what I cal an even fight:
goran 11 33.33%

Go Marco Mazzoni! You got my vote dude. I could of gone for some more texture work and or shine on the transport. Some highlights and specular junk. Maybe a smoother flow of the body --
All in all sweet work.

Hey, thanks for the feedback. I definately agree about the lack of texture/shine. I might go back and give it another hour of polish just to please myself (boy, that could sound bad out of context)
In the end I had to give my vote to silliKONe for not only presenting a quality drawing, but one that isn't a "hovercar". I know, I know, I'm guilty too... It's so easy to go for the emotional response of a car when designing a vehicle.
Definately a good round

The truth of the matter is, I don't always like what I see in the mirror.
In fact more mornings than not I finish getting dressed, putting on my makeup and fixing my hair and I look in the mirror and frown.
I could lose 10 pounds. I could tone up more. I need to get back on my bike. I could drop a pants size.
But while I don't always like what I see, I'm part of something bigger. I'm part of a movement that is about being confident in how you look, no matter how many pants sizes you could drop. A movement that encourages everyone to quit worrying about the reflection in the mirror and enjoy their lives. Sometimes I have to dig deep within to find the confidence, but when I do it with a group of diverse, amazing women somehow it makes it a lot easier. So yet again I've put a picture of me – in a swimsuit- on the internet for the whole world to see.
For the second year in a row I'm participating in National Swimsuit Confidence week with the Curvy Girl Guide, Lands' End and Self Magazine. I encourage you to check it out- and show your swimsuit confidence- because you never know what young woman is watching and learning.
Saw the pictures and they are all amazing. Good job, ladies!

FAU students learn 'app' design
BOCA RATON, Fla. - Have an emergency? Mathew Hudson has an app for that.
"I hope no one ever has to use this but it's a good feeling that it can be in their pocket and have the ability to get the help they need when they need it," said Hudson, a Florida Atlantic University senior.
His five-person team spent the semester designing and testing an app for Droid phones that can get campus police on the line with a few taps of a phone's outside buttons.
It gives police a GPS location and opens the phone's microphone so dispatchers can hear everything.
"A student can have help, faster," said Hudson.
Prof. Jeanne McConnell created FAU's first app-design course.
"This generation is in constant use all the time," said McConnell.
Seven teams of students designed applications for Droid phones, ones that help patients keep watch of medical symptoms, ones that help doctors keep track of prescriptions, and one that helps the handicapped get help during a natural disaster.
But this isn't just about apps. It's about jobs.
FAU is trying to keep its students on the cutting edge of an emerging industry.
"I truly believe that my students leave my class with practical experience. I think they would agree, so that their resume is better than other resumes," said McConnell.
The creators of the campus emergency app are hoping to graduate with an operating business.
They're trying to sell their app to schools across the country. But their first pitch will be to FAU.
"I learned that I really want to be an entrepreneur," said senior Haley Grosky.

From the article: 8 Easy Ways to Add Curb Appeal
Curb appeal is that elusive quality that makes a house warm, welcoming, interesting, and inviting. Curb appeal will make a house easier to sell, but it can also make your home so enjoyable that you want to stay. Have you discovered a way to bring out the beauty in your own home?
Forged Iron Lamps, Shutters, Flowers
- Our gorgeous house is in Cognac, Quebec and needed few additional touches to add curb appeal. We replaced the lighting with black forged iron lamps on either side of our red Chinese door, we added red burgundy shutters (to match the front door). Lastly we added 2 beds of flowers along either side of the driveway. Every day after breakfast, lunch, and dinner, we love to sit on the front porch and just relax.
- —Guest Magalie Champ
Added covered entry and lattice privacy
- We added a covered entry for aesthetics and to keep us dry in bad weather. We also added a four-foot bumped out bay window eating area in the front of the house as part of the kitchen, and had an arch-top privacy lattice fence added off the garage to hide the garbage cans. Our house now has character and charm and stands out from all the other boxy colonials on the rest of the street.
- —Guest Amy Bly
Adding an inviting entrance
- I think creating an inviting entrance or porch, with an interesting colored door, and providing a little privacy with plantings and an interesting walkway gives an immediately cozy and approachable feeling to any home. Any warm colors on the siding or landscaping adds that feeling. With white vinyl siding, adding a warm colored door, paving, and flowers would be excellent choice.
- —Guest Glush Dada Ozturk
Add Lights!
- Our street is really dark and no one could even see my house at night. So I tucked solar lights in the garden bed and hung a Frank Lloyd Wright pendant light from the porch ceiling. The lights didn't cost much and the play of light and shadows is perfect.

As concern grew in India for its citizens trapped in Iraq's fighting zones, a nurse from Kerala who is currently in a city controlled by Sunni insurgents said that most of them did not want to return yet, and were instead waiting for a chance to move to hospitals in safer areas of the country.
"Of the 46 nurses from Kerala at my hospital, only a dozen are willing to return home. The rest want to continue in Iraq. Once the road network is clear and peace prevails, we will move to other hospitals in the safe zone. The home ministry has promised to help us to work elsewhere in Iraq," nurse Santy John told The Indian Express from Tikrit, the birth place of Saddam Hussein, which fell to the insurgents last week.
Nurse Santy said all the Indian nurses at her hospital, the Tikrit Teaching Hospital, were safe. However, 15 nurses who reached Tikrit in February were yet to get any salaries, and all the nurses had decided to stop work, she said.
"The ministry says the treasury is under stress due to the war-like situation. Hence, we have decided not to go for duty since last Friday. Although many parts of Tikrit are in trouble, we at the hospital are safe."
Santy said that even in normal times, nurses were not allowed to go out of the hospital compound. "Thirty one of us who joined the hospital last August, have not seen the world outside the hospital since we enrolled for the job here. We are advised not to go out. We get everything we need at the hostel attached to the hospital," she said.
Santy said the nurses had not been impacted by the militant takeover of the hospital.
"We had heard gunshots outside the hospital, and treated many injured. Some of our Iraqi colleagues said a few militants had entered the hospital, but we have not encountered anyone. We had feared that food and water supply would be affected, but so far the situation has been normal within the hospital.
She said nurses who came to Iraq were resigned to facing any situation. "Only those who are in utter crisis come to Iraq. A dozen of us are willing to leave the country only because they have better job offers from other countries. For the rest of us, the option is safe zones in Iraq." Santy's husband Lijo works in Amman, Jordan.
Back in Kerala's Idukki district, Santy's father John Abraham, a smallscale farmer, is worried for his daughter. "Her education loan of Rs 1.5 lakh had now swollen to Rs 4 lakh. We had spent Rs 1.75 lakh for her visa. She has not got a single month's salary so far, …continued »

WTF Friday: All That Was Left Was The Windshield
At the last round of the 2012 CSCS series I spotted a vehicle sitting amongst the show and shine cars that I was more accustom to seeing running the quarter mile.
This isn't entirely uncommon as people often park in the show and shine for a bit between runs but what made this a little different was the fact that previously I had never been able to identify this car.
Thankfully this time around the owner, John, was close enough that I could ask him the question he's probably more than used to by now; "It's cool…What is It?"
John refers to his creation as the Ratso Italianio and originally it was an Alfa Romeo Spyder but by the time it landed John's hands the Southern Ontario climate had reduced the only metal worth keeping to what was holding up the wind shield.
After propping the Alfa remains up on an industrial wire spool and positioning the wheels where he thought they'd ought to go John took a few steps back, nodded in approval, and began building a tube frame from scratch around a Ford 5.0 motor and T-5 transmission.
Once he finished the frame, and figured out the suspension, he fabricated the the body panels out of sheet metal –learning as he went– until the car was a cross between what it started as and what he wanted it to be.
Of course since then it has gone through a number of revisions which has included one entirely new roof.
All said and "done" the car now has a 90″ wheel base, is about 41″ tall and weight in at 2400lbs. With 350hp under the hood it goes pretty well and currently it's quickest 1/4 mile time is 12.32 @112.5.
When I asked him how long the build took John said about seven years, but he's been running it down the quarter mile ever since it was drive able and it was only sidelined that fateful Sunday because a rod decided it wanted to see the outside world by way of the oil pan.
All isn't lost though because John plans to rebuild the motor to put out a bit more HP and he took home the 'Judges Favourite' award at the finale.
Here's a video of the build along with a few quarter mile passes.
Site Updates
I've got some family stuff to take care of this weekend so I won't be at any events but Aidan is heading down to Black 3 and will be taking some photos for the site.
Can't wait to see what he comes back with.
Flashback Friday
Speaking of Liberty, remember this car?
Such a good look, he sold that car awhile back and is now onto bigger and better things:
Thanks for the write up.In the end two rods left us,it seems a rod bolt broke.Oh well next year.
That's pretty neat, it's actually not bad looking like most home-skinned cars end up being.
I wonder how much money he's put into it? He may have spent it more wisely on a Factory Five kit car, but everyone has one of those…
I love it. It looks lie a Ferrari 250 GTO SWB. John is that what you were aiming for? I would spend the winter months smoothing out the body and spraying a bright red on it.
I like it a lot.
It is just supposed to be a mid sixties sports car,I can't afford one so I biult one.The winter will be spent biulding the new engine,upgrdeing the suspention and if I have time a little more body tweeking.I only want to paint it once.
Hey is there a build thread for this car?
[…] Dave at Stance Is Everything ran across an unusual handbuilt sports/drag car called the Ratso Italiano, built around an Alfa Romeo Spyder […]
As far as I know (John can confirm) the youtube channel is the closest thing to a build thread.
[…] Dave at Stance Is Everything ran across an unusual handbuilt sports/drag car called the Ratso Italiano, built around an Alfa Romeo Spyder […]

The drug-related death last month of "Glee" star Cory Monteith will be addressed in the third episode of the Fox musical comedy when it returns next month, although it remains unclear if the circumstances of his passing will be part of the plot of the fictional show.
Speaking to the media at the Television Critics Assn. press tour, Fox Entertainment Chairman Kevin Reilly initially said the episode in question "will deal directly with the incidents" of Monteith's passing.
But in subsequent remarks Reilly seemed to backpedal from the suggestion that the character Finn Hudson would meet a fate similar to Monteith's, noting that the show's creator Ryan Murphy was still working on the episode.
PHOTOS: Notable deaths of 2013
Given that Monteith died only a few weeks ago, there was some surprise that "Glee" didn't take a long break before returning to production. Reilly said "Glee" star Lea Michele and Ryan wanted to "get back to work."
Fox will also produce public service announcements featuring cast members talking about the untimely passing of Monteith and the perils of drug addiction.
Reilly spent much of his time in front of critics talking about the need for more accurate television ratings that take in viewing done on all platforms, including online and video-on-demand. While such measurements are available, a one-size-fits-all rating is still lacking.
"Measurement is something we've really got to do a better job of getting our hands around," Reilly said, noting that these days the ratings that come the day after a show airs are becoming less relevant in determining the popularity of a particular program.
Reilly noted that "The Following," "Glee" and "New Girl" all see their ratings in the coveted 18-49 demographic increase by more than 50% when viewing from digital video recorders is factored into the mix.
"Sometimes I read stories that nobody is watching network television anymore; well, that's a lot of nobodies," Reilly said. "The audiences are still enormous across multiple platforms."
PHOTOS: Hollywood Backlot moments
With that in mind, Reilly implored the media to dig deeper than next-day numbers when passing judgment on how a show is performing. Shows on cable and Netflix, he observed, are often called hits even though their audience is smaller than programs on Fox.
"You have to combine 'Louie' and 'Girls' together to get anywhere close to Mindy's rating," Reilly said while discussing the ratings for the network's comedy "The Mindy Project" compared to those two critical darlings.
As for Netflix, Reilly chided the streaming service for not making information about viewership of its shows available.
PHOTOS: Celebrities by The Times
"Netflix speaks loudly to an unreported mystery audience," he cracked, adding later that he was jealous that the company doesn't have to play the ratings game. "Good for them, they get to live in that world," he said.
While Reilly was trying to make the case broadcast ratings no longer tell the whole story, he didn't shy away from the fact that Fox is coming off a season in which it saw declines in ratings and had several flops, including "Mob Doctor" and "Ben and Kate."
"We were down last year and that's the fact. We're going to be up this year," he promised.
One key to turning Fox around will be fixing "American Idol," which is coming off a very disappointing season. The only judge returning in January will be Keith Urban. Reilly said there was no news on who else would be tapped to succeed Randy Jackson, Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj.

Mr. Marcus will no longer be known for his trademarked wearing a hat during a sex scene. That will be superseded by being the source of the porn industry's 2012 syphilis scare.
He made a public apology at his San Fernando office with representatives from the Free Speech Coalition for altering the results of his STI test after he tested positive for syphilis.
In an emotional interview with XBIZ, Mr. Marcus admitted to making mistakes in the last few weeks but didn't feel like he was endangering anyone while he was performing between July 24th and August 8th.
On July 12th, Mr. Marcus received his positive test result and was administered a penicillin shot the following day. He was told not to have sex for seven to ten days.
The performers Mr. Marcus worked with have been contacted and re-tested for syphilis. Luckily, they have tested negative.
For more details into the events, XBIZ's interview is very comprehensive. You can read it here.
While Sex.com doesn't agree with test-altering, we have a lot of respect for Mr. Marcus for fessing up. Now that the source is known, professionals can get working on a genealogy and stop syphilis from spreading. Also, the magnitude of the scare will no doubt increase safety for performers. Without them healthy, we are nowhere.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox-tech mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
rusty, here are some examples of find. sometimes the syntax can be a little
confusing, but the more you use it the more you get comfortable with it.
find is very powerful.
list all files on the system:
find /
list all files starting from /usr/local/tex on downwards:
find /usr/local/tex/
find any file containing the string "hello", starting from /usr/local going
on downwards. it -print's the result. you don't have to use -print since
that's the default behavior, so these two are equivalent:
find /usr/local/ -name "*hello*" -print
find /usr/local/ -name "*hello*"
-exec allows you to perform a command on matched files. this chmod's ALL
files starting from /home going on downwards. the \{} expands to the name
of the matched file. i'm not sure what \; is.
find /home/ -exec chmod go-rwx \{} \;
here's how to delete all empty files starting with /var on downwards:
find /var/ -empty -rm \{} \;
find all suid programs in /opt:
find /opt -perm +4000
i'm not entirely sure, but i think this ought to delete all files on your
system. of course, i'm not willing to try it out. see if you can figure
out why i say it should delete ALL files on the system.
find . -name ".*" -exec rm \{} \;
chmod all files, starting with the current directory, but ASK if it's ok
before performing the chmod. kind of like mv -i or cp -i
find . -ok chmod ugo-rwx \{} \;
see man find for more details.
there's also something called xargs, which i never learned how to use.
maybe someone on the list will explain how to use it.

precise-amundo. you can use globbing, just quote the name, ie:
find / -name "*config"
different tools for the job. you want to:
1. find a file which may be in your $PATH: which
2. find a file anywhere on the system: locate
3. find a file anywhere based on a complicated choosing procedure and
do something with that file find || (locate && xargs)
