Law enforcement agencies from across the U.S. have reached out to Jalopnik for help with car identifications since your input was "critical" to solving a hit-and-run earlier this year.
Today, we try to help out homicide detectives in Columbus, Ohio with a murder featuring a damn offensive narrative.
Here's how Detective Jon Compson described what you're looking at:
Two males were involved in a situation where a shooting had taken place and one of the two were shot.
Instead of driving him to the hospital, he drove him to the dumpster and dumped him out and left him to die.
So, in that case, if we can find out whose car it was, we can then charge him with the murder that took place as well.
The video I sent has two segments and the later part of the video shows the vehicle passing by the camera a few times. The driver heads towards a dumpster and gets the body out of the vehicle and then drives back past the camera again.
We are unsure as to what type of vehicle it is.
To summarize: Somebody dumped their friend who'd been shot into a Dumpster instead of even having the courtesy of dropping him out of the car by the nearest ER and calling 911 to anonymously report a dying person's location.
The footage (nearly 14 minutes of it) is nowhere near clear, but if you take it full-screen, it shows the vehicle in a variety of angles.
Writes Compson, "I look forward to seeing what your [readers] think about what they see."
So, let's see what we can do to help Compson and the Columbus PD find this horrible human being.

Childhood friends Darek Bell and Andrew Webber began homebrewing beer and wine in Darek and Amy Lee Bell's garage. They hit a snag while working on a prototype bio-diesel plant, causing Andrew to remark that making whiskey would be much more satisfying. The idea stuck, and the two soon found themselves studying distilleries and spirits.
Soon after, Corsair Distillery was founded. Corsair's spirits have been praised in publications like Food and Wine, Saveur, Imbibe, Whisky Magazine, Whisky Advocate, the Atlantic, Time Out New York, and Maxim.com. Corsair's innovative and adventurous spirits have won 41 medals at international spirits competitions.
We selected some of our favorites and some of the ones we'd like to try!

Wired's Newest iPad Issue Boasts Its Best Feature Yet: Free
Remember when iPad magazine apps–and Wired's app in particular–were big news? That was a year ago.
Now Wired would like to remind you that it's still publishing on the iPad, and the Conde Nast title is offering a pretty good incentive to give it another look: Its newest issue, which should go online today, will be free.
The one-time promotion comes via a sponsorship from Adobe. Which shouldn't be a surprise, given that Adobe and Wired have been working hand in hand on tablet publishing for nearly two years now.
Wired has also added a few more bells and whistles to the app, including the ability to share stories via Facebook and Twitter. There's also an e-commerce partnership with Amazon, where readers can purchase items the magazine writes about via the online store, but without leaving the magazine app itself.
None of that is revolutionary, but it does show you how relatively crude Wired's first app edition was when it launched last May. In retrospect, for instance, it seems astonishing that it hasn't had social media links: Any app that launched without them now would be hooted down.
So. Twelve issues in, how's the app performing on the business side? Conde won't share many details; Wired publisher Howard Mittman says that monthly download totals have settled into the 20,000 to 30,000 range. That's down considerably from the first issue, which racked up more than 100,000 downloads, but not surprising.
Those figures might well go up if Conde Nast decides to work with Apple's subscription plan, which would likely lead to a lower per-issue cost. But I wouldn't hold my breath.
On the other hand, Mittman says that advertisers are even more willing to bet on the app than they were a year ago. Which is surprising, and contrary to what I've heard from other publishers about their own titles. Mittman won't release figures, but he says that today's issue will generate more advertising dollars than Wired's first issue a year ago.

Many b-to-b organizations are adopting a persona-based approach to marketing and sales to achieve audience-centricity. Operationalizing personas into campaigns requires deep buyer insights with a detailed understanding of how the buyer wants to buy. Although portfolio marketing and demand creation need to collaborate closely when leveraging persona and buyer insights in demand creation programs, this is a critical link that is often weak across b-to-b organizations, which impacts business performance.

Odds are you've never seen the words "sexy" and "Dell" in the same sentence before, but the company's slim and gorgeous Adamo laptop is the kind of tech that inspires hardcore hardware lust. The body is sculpted out of a single aluminum block, giving it solidity you can feel. The sophisticated design combines polished and brushed metal surfaces in intricate, but harmonious patterns. And Dell rightly trumpets the fact that this is the thinnest laptop you can buy, with a depth of just 0.65 inches (just a hair slimmer than the MacBook Air at its thickest point). All in all, the look and feel are striking. Pop the top and you find a beautiful 13.4-inch glass screen that runs nearly edge to edge, maintaining a sleek modern look that has no bezel bulging around the screen like a plastic picture frame.
The Adamo keyboard is terrific, a full-size version with a perfect touch-typing feel and backlighting that's a lifesaver when banging out deathless prose in dark spots. I generally toss a mouse in my bag to avoid the discomfort of moving a cursor with a laptop touchpad, but the Adamo version is significantly better than most, quite sensitive and large enough so you don't need dainty little gestures for precise positioning purposes.
The processor isn't the fastest available, but except for playing computer games or editing video, it's more than adequate. And the feature set is extensive, including wireless networking, Bluetooth and mobile broadband connectivity, a 128-gigabyte solid-state hard drive (with no moving parts) that resists bumps and lowers power consumption, a webcam above the screen and a full array of connectors for external gear (such as a CD/ DVD drive, which isn't built in).
Despite its svelte physique, the Adamo weighs, a surprising four pounds—everyone who has picked up my review unit remarked that it's significantly heavier than it looks (due in part to that lovely glass screen). The MacBook Air, by contrast, weighs just three pounds, and when you're racing through an airport or racing down the street to a meeting, a pound is not trivial.
The price is no featherweight either, starting at $2,000, but technological luxury has its cost, and the price per impressed passerby is pretty reasonable. Visit dell.com.

Sophisticated Lady
Posted by Chic Aeon in freebies on Monday, August 31, 2009
Just a quick post before I go off to dreamland :D. I did finally get over to .hc&co., home of those great jeans I blogged this morn. While I was chatting with the owner/designer Heather Connolly, a wildcard came up on the lucky board and Heather was nice enough to alert me. I was busily typing as I sometimes do and completely missed that happy "?"s arrival.
I of course was VERY cool and didn't mention that I had left myself there earlier so that I could watch the board -- LOL. Ah vanity. The dress is super cute and sways like soft silk when you move. The style is feminine enough to remind you why you like being a girl, and the print is classic enough to remind you that being a "woman" is even better.
So drop by the 10 minute board from time to time and see if your letter comes up. Here's your TP.
Shown with some of my own bangles -- soon to be yours if you'd like when I reach that 1000th post in a few days. They are just part of a goodie box I have made up for you guys. I hope you like it.
Shoes by Juicy, hair by Tiny Bird (poop hunt), poses by LAP.
Sometimes hanging out means a cup of tea and a plate of cookies with your buddies. Especially if you have a kitchen, but even if you just want to have some folks over for tea in the sandbox (yes, you really can do that -- us prim challenged folks are very creative at times), Belle Belle has a great new group gift out. See the extremely detailed kitchen organizer on my wall? That's it and it is a beauty.
My wonderfully textured jeans with primo cuffs came in a DSN pack this morning. The shop is .hc&co. and the product is "Basic Jeans - Light" which I am guessing means there are other colors to choose from. It's a busy morning for me, but I'll be heading over there soon to take a look around. My Gypsy waistcoat is new from Trubble and is perfect for showing off my colorful new tattoo from last eve. Shoes are corset wedges from She's So Unusual Shoes.
AND -- if you would like more kitchen goodies, you can zip over to the Belle Belle (group) Midnight Board and slap that puppy.
My desk is from the m.fox never ending goodies box :D.
Poses by Ana_Mations and Torridwear.
Time Limited Goodies
Here are a few items of note that you need to get like lickety split! Both the cute top and the very nice short boots are A'Bomb's free items in the Sn@tch City hunt. There are also two items in douche bottles to purchase. They are easy to find and inside the A-Bomb store. The skirt is one of many, many prizes from Sn@tch :D.
There are simply tons of prizes -- both free and to purchase in the two sim complex. They are easy to find and wandering will get you a truckload of items to go through. I found quite a few that I recognized, so if you are an old timer and a Sn@tch - Retox fan, you may already have some of these gifts. But if you are a young resident or new to Sn@tch, they will likely be discoveries to YOU and that's what counts.
The A-Bomb top comes in three layers with the jacket choice being full length with ribbing.
Other favorite finds at Sn@tch City were these cute rose choker and corsage from Harlot. I believe the colorful bottle was very close by the store :D. Also shown above are one of several "bloomer" sets (I'd call them leggings) from Vth Column . The pack comes with both layers, two colors of striped legging as well as two sets of boxers which work for girls or guys. And the stripes? They really, really match on the sides. Something you don't find that often *wink*.
The Douche Hunt runs through the 31st.
The tattoo above is not from the Sn@tch hunt but out today for free until about 7 pm at Saint Of Ink. Find it in a giant vendor in the middle of the store. It is lovely.
All the poses shown here came from Posemaster, a new shop. So stop on by and take a look around. Most of the current pose sets are action themed.
This started out to be a post on new free skins and hair, and it still is; but in the process of taking this photo, I couldn't help but reflect on how different we all all. Each day -- or sometimes several times a day -- we can reinvent ourselves with new skins and hair, outfits and even shapes. We can explore ways of being that we would never try in our real world.
I doubt you will recognize anyone in their new looks, but all are in Tuli skins. The Goth gifts are for the group in case you missed your notices and in the big red mushroom with floating text behind the giant tree. Sami in the middle is in the current Picks gift. Find the reward poster on an easel in the front of the store. The gift is still from June, but if you didn't get it you might want to do that. Who knows when it will be replaced with a new item.
And yes, this was a "come as you are" party. No one changed for the shoot. We're supposed to be looking at their HEADS anyway :D.
Now let's see some close ups and talk free hair.
Benicia was the one that found the hair boards at " D!va ". There are two upstairs in the main shop. There are ALSO TP givers to other satellite shops. She didn't try all of them, but it looks like there is at least one board in each shop. Yeah. And so far they have all been different. So you can zip around and find ones that look like your style. The one she is wearing came from a RYOTAN LAND cart.
This is the lucky board prize from the ""D!va"" store at Marcos Mall. You'll need to fly up and follow your beam to get to the shop. The "Rina" prize comes with a pretty strawberry blond color called Amber, both in the same pack. It comes in versions both with and without the diamonds woven in. Very pretty. This is the current Tuli Picks Reward skin.
And here is a last minute addition, one of the hairs from the " D!va " main shop. Wow. Lots of lucky board free hair today. This version comes only in this Amber color, but in two lengths. This is the longer. The other is an updo similar in style. Meet Dion, Divine's RL sister. And where IS Divine these days? Too much RL is a "bad, bad" thing. *wink*
Xia's hair comes from the lucky board at ++AY.LinE++Ginza. There are two lucky boards. This style comes packed with a variety of lovely colors, so there is bound to be one you like. This is Tuli's Group Gift Goth skin.
Pick your favorites and watch those boards while you do email or read the fashion feeds :D.
And by all means, HAVE FUN!
And as an addendum, Xia had been over to Festivale and picked up the Vagabonds Poop Hunt gift -- along with yet more hair :D. Find the Roadkill Couch easily in the Vagabonds store. It comes with four poses including one along the top of the couch. They are poseballs and not menu but you can hide the balls with the /1hide command. SO glad that is sort of universal. Handy.
Ice Cream Colors
Two new hot lucky board prizes and some gifts for the weekend here. You've no doubt seen the = Hal*Hina = lucky board hair. I've certainly seen the ad posters :D. Well I'm here to tell you it is just as lovely as it looks. Two colors, brown and blond in two lucky boards. The numbers change ever 2 minutes so you have to have friends on speed dial if you want to tp them in *wink*.
The peachy outfit comes from the *LFS*=Lycee feelings shop=. The LB is five minutes there. It comes with a choice of layers as well as a top with toys in the pockets. An optional bow can be worn on the front strap.
My studio props are yet MORE items from the m.fox pack mentioned in this post. I'm definitely like a kid in a candy store.
And if you are into cutie girl accessories, be sure and pick up this ice cream backpack from :::[NEEDFUL THINGS . Find it in a default prim size box with descriptive photo on the ground floor of the shop.
Top pose by LAP.
Pretty Pretty Props
First of all an apology from me. I just realized after four hours that SL(R) in its wisdom had turned down my graphics to LOW after a crash last night. I knew my skin looked odd but couldn't figure out why. So these pictures are not near the quality that they should be. After a couple of hours of picture taking however, I am NOT starting over. Click any photo for larger versions. There is a lot to see. Here's the scoop.
Miabella Foxley is leaving SL and giving away some truly fantastic furnishing and props. These are just some of the wonderful items in the box of goodies. Everything is copy (n mod - nt) so you can add accessories to your home, shop or photo shoot as you need them. I never have to worry bout losing them out on the sandbox :D. Yeah!
I love the suitcases! And the radiator that steams :D. Really wonderful.
There are so many things in the box, I really can't show them all here. I haven't even unpacked them all. There are lots of beautiful books and accessories to add to your environment. Everything is lovely and works perfectly. So a giant THANK YOU to Miabella Foxley and many good wishes from us all. Also a big thanks to Callie Cline who tipped me (and a few thousand others) to this opportunity.
To get your box of goodies, just join the m.fox boxed group. The group will only be around until September 9th so time is limited. Go to the archives and pick up the box of goodies. If you can't find the group easily, it is listed in Miabella's profile.
My cute pajamas were a hunt gift from the Rha! store (NLA).
Props and Accessories
Props. I love them. Whether just for fun or simply beautiful, they definitely make a fashion shoot. Today I have a few to share that I've picked up along the way as well as a fantastic cornucopia of goodies that simply take my breath away. And yes, it's all free. Edit: Sorry, graphics card was set to low and it took me awhile to figure out the problem. Imagine how great everything would look with Windlight - LOL.
First up are some goodies that I picked up along the hunt trails. Some of them were hunt items and some simply freebies. My food bank grocery bag is from the clever -RC- Cluster shop. Find it in the freebies section upstairs. My strawberry ice cream sandwich was my gift of the day from the GatyaGatya Machine at [KUE!] . My hair is from Tiny Bird, a Poop Hunt Prize.
The cute black and white backpack is from .:TRoUBLeD ReBeL: (Poppy Hunt ends Aug 31st) and my bandanna let tie is one of three in a freebie pack at ::Like A:: . My luscious red pants and bandeau top are part of the latest Marleen gift from G&N Quality Design .
OK. Are you ready for this? Part two coming up soon.
MM Poses
Need some poses? This already paid out earlier today with 300 slaps. Get in on that second wave. Here's your TP.
Good luck :D
Hunts and All That Jazz
Posted by Chic Aeon in comment
I've been thinking a lot about hunts lately. Are they here to stay? With posters popping up seemingly daily, I'd say that is a given -- at least until the end of the year. Like many folks I went through the hair pulling " too much, too many, too little product" lament. It seems that content creators are catching on of late, and this is good news.
There are shop hunts, sim hunts and grid wide hunts. Each have their followers and their pluses. There are so many these days, hunters can pick their favorites or their themes and still get in half a dozen hunts each month with ease. For those that have hunt madness, there is most always a new hunt somewhere. What seems to have changed is the general quality of goods.
Just like the days of the fifty lucky chairs filled with &#@^, we have had some pretty time wasting hunts in the past. When you toss over 90% of the goods? This is not good. The best hunts get the most press. The better the reviews, the more people that join in. In the end, giving away something notable to 20,000 folks is better than giving away something less than great to a few hundred.
Personally, I never keep everything. I have a wonderfully diverse and large enough for me inventory. So, for me to keep something it needs to be well designed, well crafted and either versatile or so unbelievably different that I can't give it up. Still, I find my inventory growing by leaps and bounds these days despite my best efforts at culling.
This say A LOT. It says that our content creators are getting more skilled. It says they are getting more creative, and it says that they are sharing generously. Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing economically? I'm out of that loop now and cannot comment with any first hand knowledge. I do know that many of us work -- whether paid or not, whether profit or debt laden -- to fulfill some creative urge. It could be sharing with folks we don't even know. It could be bringing beauty into our virtual world. It could be fulfilling our personal dreams.
We do it for our own reasons and ones that many folks will never understand.
Ivory Perfection
Porcelain dolls, fragile beauties, Gothic ladies of the predawn; Tuli has released a new skin tone of Hope in ivory. The makeups are similar to the Goth set, but the rosy undertones of the skin give them a different look and feel. Since Hope is my skin of choice these days, I was delighted to see this release. There are many artistic possibilities :D.
I took the new ivory Hope skin out for its first spin in today's gift release from hO wEAr. The delicate nature of the skin worked well with the oriental flowers. I added an old favorite hair from Magika (most likely retired). While the mico-mini skirt is more modern than traditional, I chose a place of history for my photo shoot, juxtaposing times. In the early dawn light, the glowing beauty shines.
My poses are from the Mela's kimono dollarbie set. Find it on the third floor near the three camping chairs.
Cleaning Up
Dove and Company throw a great party. The sim has been nearly full for most of the day, but the lag was manageable. I of course wore my almost primless hunt outfit and others did too. That helps. The gifts were great. As there are some very talented designers at Festivale, I wasn't too surprised. Shown here are a few more of my favorites. I just love the glow curtains from Zut! At only two prims counting the valance, I'll be using them often :D.
Along with lots of great poses a la last year, Tiny Bird has joined the event in a major way with five or more sets of hair. I admit to not finding one (sigh) and so who knows what might be in that poop package - LOL. Along with hair, there are some nice pale mod skins as well as some poses. It seems that Tiny Bird tried poses and Dove tried hair. While Dove's hair gets lots of points for originality, I think Tiny Bird won the contest *wink*. I am sure it was all in fun as it should be. The photos above feature both hair and poses from Tiny Bird. My personal favorite Kissy-Kissy hair has been well documented in my previous posts on the hunt. I have to admit it was difficult giving that one up in order to show you the others, but they are great too!
That's my wrap up of the second -- and hopefully not last -- Poop Hunt. Be sure and pick up your souvenir pooper scooper and pail in front of the LAP store. I now have a set for both years; let's see how many more can be added to the collection.
Go forth, have fun and SCOOP!
Festivale is the place to be this weekend.
Deep in Poop
I am happy to report that the Second Annual Poop Hunt has lots of items for the guys. Many gifts are unisex. Yeah! I did some unpacking this morning and coerces Wonder into a brief hunting expedition so that you could see a fellow in the pictures.
Our jeans are not part of this hunt, but our tees most certainly are and come with great worn out holes here and there. Very inventive.
Since most of the gifts are spread over the sim, I'm not going to tell you which gifts are shown in the photos. Just pick them all up and find your own favorites. I have more to show you and I'll be going back to get more when the rush lets up a bit. The paint print hands come on two layers. I actually liked the tan (undies layer) versions best, but my bare butt would be against some of the feed guidelines, so you'll just have to get your own to see. Lots of fun.
I will tell you that the great multipose block furniture is from Mudhoney. You probably guessed that already. There is only one poop from them to find; all three versions are in one gift. These are really great for either homes are photos. They adjust and the green one ever rearranges the blocks for the different poses. Magic!
While I had Wonder in my studio, I wanted to try out some of the props and poses available in this hunt. As you might imagine they were my personal favorite finds. There are several packs of poses including ones especially for guys. Girls can use them also of course.
There are at least two pose ball sets for couples. These are wild and fun and I feel very limber to say the least.
The hunt is officially on now. It has been UNofficially on for some time. Now that all the prizes are in place, here's a list of how many and by whom. If you want to find them all, you best keep up a count - LOL. There are LOTS.
SMUDGE - 3 Toilet Papers Out.
CHIKKA Designs - 2 Poops
Vanitas Vesture - 2 - 1 poop, 1 TP
PIG - 7 Poops
Moonshine - 2 TPs
LAP - 8 Poops
Mudhoney - 1TP
Gritty Kitty - 4 TPs
Sweet Antidote - 2 TPs
Masquerade Parade - 1 Poop
naith smit designs - 1 Poop
This is a Fawn - 2 poops!
Vagabonds - 1 Poop
Zut! - 1 Poop
That's 50 gifts to pick up -- all in one sim. This is definitely a not to be missed hunt with great gifts and fun decorations. Go forth to Festivale and hunt.
Poop Hunting?
The second annual Poop Hunt doesn't officially start for a couple more hours, but I wasn't the first one here when I arrived about nine. It's wild and funny and I yelled greetings to a few folks I knew even though I had no idea where they actually were :D. My pooper scooper and bucket (following photo) are from last year's hunt, but Dove assured us there would be new ones out in a bit. You can hunt without your accompanying paraphernalia of course. Latex gloves from a tattoo chair might come in handy here. *big wink*
You are looking for a few things, not just one. Brown "soft serve ice cream" poop with red bows as well as toilet paper with either red or yellow bows. There is actually one hot pink pile of poop and while I have a huge list of goodies in my recent tab, there are plenty more that I didn't find. So there might be something else containing prizes. Just mouse over anything poop related :D.
This isn't really a hunt; it is more of a gathering. There is so much poop and paper that it would be difficult NOT to pick up a lot of goodies. Most are out in the environs, but some are in the stores. I have only just begun to open my packages and they will need to wait until tomorrow, but I wanted to alert you to the party.
There are clothes of course and poses and hair as well as jewelry and furniture. I LOVE this Kissy Kissy hair. It is one of many from Tiny Bird. My very cute dress is from Chikka Design and the poses are of course from LAP. The pose above is called Bright Light So Pretty. There is a pack for "chubby" gals (which fit me perfectly) and a pack for guys too. Yeah!
Get on over to Festivale and have some fun. You have a week.
Chic out :D.
Mark Your Calendar!
Posted by Chic Aeon in design, freebies, sneak peak
You don't need to be a parent or a child to have a great time collecting goodies at the upcoming Mother Daughter Hunt. You don't even need to be female, although most items are geared for that gender. Whether a mom or not, the designers have made sure that your personal taste is still covered. Dolly, mime, casual, dressy, neko and daring -- there are plenty of very nice prizes to find. The outfit above is the prize from Holli Pocket. It comes with a innocent white tank which is definitely balanced danger wise by the low, low (really LOW) cut pants. All that skin real estate is great for showing off tattoos. The ruffled cuffs add a bit of disco fever to the mix. Don't click that link yet though, the hunt doesn't begin until September 6. You will be looking for two colors of pink hearts, one marked mothers and the other for daughters.
The bathroom sink and vanity set is from ::Razzberry Inc. and the comfy low prim mother daughter sitting cushion is from *~*Sunshine Design*~* (many landmarks so I'm not sure which store is in the hunt). My cute and casual outfit is from KK's Designs . I so love waist wraps and it is a great color to go with other separates as well as into the fall. The pretty Innocence Anklet hales from LacieCakes and has a HUD for changing color, metal and gems. Finding a matching outfit is definitely not a problem. The Sansevieria plant that will be living in my stone house in just a bit is from Gumi's Flower Shop. At two prims it is a fantastic value.
Treetops Spa is giving away a lovely and detailed makeup table with settee, brush and animation. The daughter's prize is a similar set of of play makeup all for themselves. Take the teleporter at the landing point to get to the spa. Chicatique has mime outfits for both mother and daughter. Young, fun and very nicely done, you can wear this anywhere, not just for miming *wink*.
Jewelry, eyes, superbly creative ears, bright and fun tennies, there seems to be something for most everyone in this hunt. These are just a few of the items you could find. So bookmark this page and mark your calender for the 6th.
Explore *~ZcZ~* and find the Mother Cat outfit above. I do love purple :D.
Have fun!

Eclectic Newness
Posted by Chic Aeon in shopping
E! - Eclectic has some great new basics out this month. The Gothic Lace Vests and Shirts come in many colors and lots of layer choices. In the photo above I chose an undershirt layer for the long sleeved shirt and topped it with the vest. A touch of lace on the vest neckline gives a hint of girlish charm.
It's probably no surprise that my personal favorites include the tailored shirt with the low neckline. It's perfect for showing off jewelry such as my Parvati necklace from Rhiamon's Realm. Add a saucy mini skirt (mine is from the Covet dress at Pout) and some of the new capri fishnets and you have yet another look. You can even wear the fishnets alone if you are a brave gal. You won't get arrested; I promise. Make up your own look with the mix and match items new this month at E! - Eclectic Apparel and Accessories.
While "eclectic" isn't part of the store name, we all know that She's So Unusual Shoes is just that. You are bound to find something to fit your style there. For me, it's these super sexy open toed wedgies called Magellen Corset. The lacing is so cute and the perfect touch to a plain outfit.
The hugging pose (Cold Winter) is from a new to me pose maker shop, ESSENTIAL SOUL STUDIO N POSES. Others are from LAP.
Flower Fantasies
We have so many wonderfully creative folks here at Phil's Place. Some are trying to make a living and others are here simply for the creative outlet. If the rent gets paid it is a plus. Whether it is strictly business or ultimately pleasure, those of us at the receiving end reap the rewards.
The Mystical Tree House is one of collection of fantasy dwellings from Gecco. I have neither the space nor the prims to live in this magical structure, but you might. The details are inspiring and include a radio that works even on the sandbox, so no land owner permissions needed.
[Edit: The creator says that it music of the avatars uuid. The flower said it was playing music. I "may" have placed the house on top of a radio? Have no clue, sorry LOL. And neither of us are techie.
You techie folks no doubt know all about how that works, but it was new to me. Music, butterflies and flowers, I had it all while taking these photos :D. A teleporter is included.
If you venture over to Gecco, you'll need to navigate down several levels to find the fantasy dwellings. You will be rewarded though, as this is still in the Midnight Mania board. Slap that puppy and it may be yours. If you are in a hurry, don't worry, the prices here are very very low. As you arrive you'll find another MM board with a castle and a couple levels down one with textures. Again, the prices are very good, so peruse as you wander down. Not all the buildings are high prim. Of course most of MY favorites were (sigh).
My super cute flower overalls are from the new releases at E! Eclectic. Casual and fun and youthful they seemed the perfect outfit for playing in my temporary fantasy home. They come in a variety of colorful denims with flower accents and prim cuffs. Choices of layers are of course part of the package.
I added a pink tuck in bustier from MichaMi to go with my Primagine Sandy flower earrings. Shoes aren't required in fantasy land, so I skipped those.
Poses by Lap, Sugar Mill and Glitterati.

Waves of Goodies
Xia was up early (or maybe to bed late :D) as she arrived on my doorstep with newness. She'd been over to a store called Wave after reading a glowing report from Beanie, Queen of digging up new spots to explore. Xia was in the Wave camp for sure and started showing me some of the great free items she had picked up. They were definitely fun and original with many bright colors in the mix. I TPed over to the store and found a creative cornucopia with lots of gifts and plenty of items that won't break the bank linden wise.
Her outfit above includes jeans, bra top (both gold and orange come in one pack) and a bright quilted rocker jacket. There are other colors of both jackets and jeans. Honestly there is just lots there.
Here is a sampling of the items she picked up. All were free except for the pink pants ($1). There are plenty of unisex type items too, so guys can enjoy. This link goes to the freebie area but you can walk down the difficult to see ramp to get to the rest of the store. There are a few dollarbies on the main level as well as lots of other fun things to buy.
Her tattoo is FG Underground's new Subscribo gift. Just join that Hippo group and it gets delivered to you as a gift. There are small tattoos on the tummy and buttock in the underpants layer.
Dollarbie Heaven
Sadly, Slanted Fox is closing. On the plus side there is a wide assortment of goods to be had, each for a buck. The range is vast from little girl outfits to pawed boots and animal hats to a kimono. Divine picked up a few items this eve and was happy to share her choices with you.
Everything you see came from the shop. While there are many coordinating $1 outfits available , she opted for some mix and match items. The knee length sculpty shorts come in a choice of four colors of belts; red is shown here. The back has a plaid section and the sculpty pants are quite original with fun stitching. The off the shoulder top was part of a skirt set that has boots and a hat -- all purchased individually. The fun cuffs come in six colors and you can get all of them for $4 as a fatpack. The purse complete with little blue man (no idea what that is about) comes in four colors also.
There are a few items for men and these shorts would work for the guys also. The prims are touch resize -- even the purse. How nice! There are some tennies and some little girl pastel totes too.
This complete outfit was only $4. So venture over to Slanted Fox and do a bit of shopping. Your pocketbook will thank you.
Household Hunting
You have less than a week to pick up some great stuff at the Heart and Sole Hunt. The furniture is fantastic and matches the "Aurora borealis" rezzbox house (Designer Showcase Network) from TusSim Dreams . How cool is that?
There are 25 prize boxes in three stores at the Heart and Sole sim. My skirt is from Kitsune Couture while my shoes are from *Heart & Sole* (natch). There are many pairs of shoes as well as clothes for the gals. Start your hunt at any of the three stores. The smallish gift boxes are easy to find.
Here's your starting location.
The complete bedroom set shown above is from Sommerfiends. I especially like the small tables with semitransparent cloths and bold shadows. The bookcase is a BIG winner for me. Both are low prim for us folks on a budget. The bed chest opens (even in diagonal mode) to reveal bedding. You could add your own goods of course.
My hair is from the Black Keys Hunt, ++AY.LinE++ and my top is the tinted cami from Fri.day blogged here. VERY handy :D.
Poses by LAP.
Musicality & Hunting for Guys
You still have a few days to get to the Black Keys Hunt. I finished (in my version of if I can't find it I move on ) the other eve and have to say that there are some super prizes. This oversized hat from Tweedle was by far my personal favorite. So fun and so creative. The piano keys play and particle notes appear as if by magic. I definitely feel like a Mad Hatter :D.
Alas, Tweedle is closed and the landmark leaves me flaying in the air. That doesn't mean kudos should be forgotten however. So let's all clap a bit for TommyTom Jun, who has made a few of us smile. Here's hoping Tweedle 2 will arise from the ashes with even more wonderfully fun designs.
If you love this hat as much as I do, you can find it HERE. No hunting necessary. Thanks to TommyTom and Mikayla Ares, organizer of the Black Keys Hunt for making it available to us all.
The musical note prop comes form Khargo and includes a long animation and shadow. My outfit is the GUY prize from Cutie Honey. In my previous post I mentioned that there seemed to be few items for men in this hunt. Happily I can report that there were many more towards the beginning. Some stores with men's items include ++AY.LinE++Ginza (hair), *Dreams* (Tees), Cat Crap (black star hightop sneakers), Iced (necklace), Goth1co (outfit posted yesterday, Another World (tee), Kissed By Lithium (tee and jeans), Alexohol Fashions (board shorts and sports tank). And I'm sure there are others that I missed. So go forth guys, you only have a few days left.
Special thanks to Sterling Artistry for the black texture pack which I hope to be using soon :D.
Top pose by Vain.
Still in my Hope Goth skin from Tuli's new release.
Forever Gothic
Tuli has released a Gothic version of the very popular Hope skin. A large variety of makeups are available from delicate to deadly, brightly hued to monochromatic. Unpacking items from the Black Keys Hunt, I came across an outfit from Goth1c0. The bells in my head went off and I was happy I hadn't lost ALL those brain cells. I immediately started trying on the Tuli skins with the Black Key outfit from Goth1co. Of course they worked beautifully together. There was no doubt in my mind about hair; I immediately went to my Stringer Mausoleum folder. Well of course I did.
The Goth1co outfit includes short pants and suspenders as well as a jacket with tee shirt option. I went for skin :D.
Style notes: Skin - Hope Goth 03, Hair - *TSM* Medusa - Crimson tipped (sans snakes).
Pose - The Express by LAP.
Here are two more of my favorite goth skins paired with Stringer Mausoleum hair. There are many more colors and options including runny eye liner and bloody lips, so stop by the shop and try some on. And if you are a Tuli group member, check the recent notices for info on how to get the natural version of this skin as a gift. Those notices go astray often I know, so here's your heads up if you missed the news.
Style notes:
Hope Goth 09 and *TSM* Xeranna - Dirty
Hope Goth 02 and *TSM* Infusion - Mahogany tipped with liquid hair sticks.

Continuing on from previous posts (here and here) listing book scheduled for the first half of next year that I have my eye out for:
John Bankhead Magruder: A Military Reappraisal by Thomas Settles (LSU, June 2009). As a subject of a book length study, this one is somewhat surprising. I'll be keeping my eye on it, and I hope it takes a broader view of his Civil War service than simply his time on the Peninsula. I am far more interested in Prince John's Trans-Mississippi career.
A Wisconsin Yankee in the Confederate Bayou: The Civil War Reminiscences of a Union General by Halbert Eleazer Paine, Samuel C. Hyde, Jr. (ed.) (LSU, May 2009).
Flames Beyond Gettysburg: The Gordon Expedition, June 1863 by Scott Mingus (Ironclad Publishing, Q1-Q2 2009). -- according to the author, it's scheduled for limited publication around the end of the year, with a late winter or early spring general release. Nice cover art, too.
I've read two of the four volumes from Ironclad's Discovering Civil War America series and found them thoroughly satisfying. Both "No Such Army Since the Days of Julius Caesar" and A Little Short of Boats: The Fights at Ball's Bluff and Edward's Ferry, October 21-22, 1861 are fascinating and truly original military studies. From the same publisher, while not part of the series noted above, John C. Pemberton's manuscript Compelled to Appear in Print (ably edited by David M. Smith) is an essential part of understanding the Vicksburg Campaign.

The movie "Mahoro Ekimae Tada Benriken" is getting a sequel, this time in the form of a television drama series. Eita (29) and Matsuda Ryuhei (28) will return in their starring roles.
The movie, which opened in Japan in April 2011, was based on a Naoki Prize-winning novel by Miura Shion. The story revolves around two former classmates who end up working together as "benriya" (someone available for hire for odd jobs), building a friendship as they take on various jobs together.
The drama series is titled "Mahoro Ekimae Bangaichi" and will be broadcast on TV Tokyo. Omori Tatsushi directed the movie, but the drama series will be handled by One Hitoshi ("Moteki"). Shooting is scheduled to start in April, but TV Tokyo will not air the series until sometime next year.

Nano Trivia for NanoDays!
Looking for an icebreaker for the beginning of a science café? Or trivia to use on social media sites to help promote your NanoDays events?
The NISE Net's Science Café Guide included a number of trivia questions, and with so many of you in the midst of NanoDays or about to host NanoDays events, I thought the questions might be particularly useful this week. These questions include pop culture references in addition to more scientific questions. I've pasted the questions from the guide below, plus the bonus question that we at the Museum of Science asked our Facebook fans to raffle off two exhibit hall passes for NanoDays.
Correct answers are marked with and bolded.
1. The word "nano" comes from the Greek word for:
a) Small
b) Minor
c) Brief
d) Dwarf
2. Which of the following is NOT true about nanotechnology?
a) Research in nanotechnology includes work in many fields, such as
chemistry, biology, physics, and medicine
b) Nano-sized particles often have very different properties than their
larger-sized counterparts

approximately how many atoms would there be?
a) 105 million
b) 137 million
c) 152 million
d) 173 million
5. Who sang the song, "Tiny Bubbles"?
Don Ho
6. Buckyballs are molecules that are made of 60 carbon atoms. About one
nanometer in diameter, buckyballs are extremely strong and very slippery, and
scientists are studying how we might be able to use them. Who are buckyballs
named after?
Buckminster Fuller
7. In addition to yellow, gold nanoparticles can be what color?
a) Blue
b) Purple
c) Red
d) Orange
e) All of the above
8. How does the nano fabric used clothing (like pants from L.L. Bean) keep
liquids from sticking?
a) The fabric is coated in nano-sized particles of teflon
b) The fabric has nano-sized threads or "whiskers" sticking out that
prevent the liquid from penetrating
c) The fabric has nano-sized threads of goretex woven into it
d) The fabric has nano-sized threads of silver woven into it
9. In "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens, what was Tiny Tim's last name?
10. Which one of the following "nano" products is fake?
a) Antibacterial nano socks

c) Nanorama-Gold toothpaste
d) Nano pacifier
e) NanoSlim, the world's smallest weight-loss solution
f) Nano chopsticks
g) Nanogaine hair growth formula
h) None are fake, they're all real
And to help promote our Museum of Science NanoDays events, we asked our Facebook fans the following open-ended question:
If you could build anything at the nanoscale (the size of an atom or molecule), what would you create and why?

Eau de Toilette
A sandalwood overdose embellished by ylang-ylang and jasmine.
Indisponible - CA$ 99.00
Samsara is an elixir of seduction for a woman who has found harmony and balance, which is notably conveyed through the composition's raw materials : the purest sandalwood and a jasmine used only for religious offerings until then.
Embrace your perfume in the mythical Bee Bottle.
Designed in 1853 by Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain for the Empress Eugénie, wife of Napoléon III, this precious bottle is adorned with the symbol of the Empire: the bee, which is now La Maison Guerlain's emblem.
As Samsara takes flight, it enwraps us in jasmine flower, which dominates the scent, before sunny ylang-ylang flower embellishes it, the better to unite it with the radiant and generous warmth of sandalwood. Lastly, iris, tonka bean and vanilla harmonise and render sublime this blend with its remarkable trail.
Woody Oriental.
Harmonious, spellbinding, embracing.
Samsara is the first woody women's fragrance in perfumery. It is constructed over a beautifully crafted sandalwood, used for the first time in these quantities in perfumery.

Albert Schweitzer was a renowned 20th century German physician on Earth.
The name "Schweitzer" was the first name chosen by The Doctor in his attempts to create an identity for himself. Kes suggested that The Doctor choose a name before going on his "first away mission" (in the holodeck) as it "might help [him] feel more like a Starfleet officer". The Doctor first used the name when introducing himself to the holo-character Freya. He later renounced the name to Captain Janeway, saying that "the last time I heard that name spoken was a painful one… I don't think I want to be reminded." (VOY: "Heroes and Demons")
Nevertheless, The Doctor still considered the name in a discussion with Kes, among other names such as Pyong Ko, Jarvik and Pasteur. (VOY: "Fury")

CHICO — A large storm overnight caused power failures, widespread flooding and swollen creeks in Butte County.
High winds caused many trees and power lines to fall. A large metal canopy at the Highway 32 minimart at 1295 E. Eighth Street in Chico also came down.
"I thought it was thunder for a minute and turned around and that's when I saw the canopy hanging from the side," said employee Victor Garcia, 22, of Chico.
The structure covers the gas station's pumps and fell at 6:10 a.m., just 10 minutes after Garcia opened the store, he said.
"There was nobody here," he said. "It's the biggest thing I've seen."
Power outages affected 184 customers in Chico and 540 customers in Oroville, according to PG&E.
There were around 50 weather-related service calls to Cal Fire-Butte County between midnight and 10 a.m.
With help from the California Highway Patrol, Station 41 temporarily closed Highway 99 down from Garden Brook to Keefer Road because of water on the roadway, said Mary Ann Aldrich, public information officer for Cal Fire-Butte County.
A drain was blocked by debris, caused by a tree falling into a nearby creek, she said.
Caltrans was directing traffic using pilot cars.
There have been closures to many county roads, including River Road, according to CHP.
Highway 70 was closed Saturday night due to flooding. The closure was one mile west of Jarbo Gap at Big Bend Road to the juncture of Highway 89, according to Caltrans.
Sunday afternoon, Highway 70 was closed from eight miles west of Pulga to the juncture of Highway 89 due to flooding.
Saturday night reportedly produced 1.68 inches of rain in Chico. According to National Weather Service reports, Oroville received 1.55 inches.
There has been a total of 5.15 inches of rain in the Oroville area since Wednesday.
Today is expected to be partly cloudy with light winds, the Weather Service said.

From gurgling to the first few words: early language
Between 15 and 18 months: a thirst for learning
- Delighted by his new ability to talk your baby has a thirst for learning new words: he points to objects in his surroundings to ask their name. Respond to his questions and remember to name things you talk to him about to help him increase his vocabulary.
- At 18 months he can master between 10 and 20 words that he begins to combine with one another: for example, "more milk" or "daddy gone". If he pronounces badly do not systematically correct him: you risk spoiling his wonderful enthusiasm and his spontaneity. But rather, say another phrase after his in which you pronounce the problem word correctly.

No sooner had Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D) of New Jersey announced his retirement from the US Senate, telling constituents and reporters late Thursday that he would not run for reelection in 2014, than the political vultures began circling. Already half a dozen potential candidates from both sides of the aisle have expressed interest in running for the octogenarian senator's seat next year.
At 89, Senator Lautenberg, who formally announces his retirement Friday in Paterson, N.J., is the oldest member of the Senate and the last World War II veteran in the chamber. His seat is one of 21 around the country that Democrats are defending next year. With 53 seats, Democrats currently maintain a narrow margin in the Senate, but the open New Jersey seat could help throw the chamber to the Republicans.
Do Republicans stand any chance of picking up the defiantly liberal senator's seat in the heavily democratic Garden State?
"It's going to be a tough road for Republicans," says Brigid Harrison," a political scientist at Montclair State University in Montclair, N.J. "We can't ignore decades' worth of data that indicate that Democrats tend to control the federal process in New Jersey."
Indeed, Garden State voters are among the most left-leaning in the country: They went for President Obama by a margin of nearly 18 percentage points in November.
Still, the state's top seat is occupied by a brash Republican governor, Chris Christie, who won the hearts of many of his constituents once – and is likely to do so again later this year in New Jersey's gubernatorial race.
"You have to recall we'll be coming off a pretty clear Christie victory in 2013," says Dr. Harrison. "Chris Christie is the embodiment of the Republican Party in this state … so … there is going to be this kind of surging Republicanism in the state of New Jersey."
Nonetheless, she says, "No [Republican contender] is waiting in the wings so well qualified, well organized, ready to step into the role immediately to combat the fundraising prowess Democrats currently have, namely [Newark Mayor] Cory Booker."
Of course, that hasn't stopped some Republicans – and other Democrats – from drooling over the prospect of a Senate run in 2014.
Among the potential candidates lining up for Lautenberg's seat:
Newark Mayor Cory Booker (D). The clear front-runner, Mr. Booker formed a Senate campaign last month to explore a race. Opponents have said he considers himself the "heir apparent" to the seat. Indeed, when the mayor, who at 43 is less than half Lautenberg's age, publicly expressed interest in running last month, Lautenberg said he deserved "a spanking" for openly coveting his seat before the sharp-elbowed senator had announced his retirement. Still, Booker is a favorite: A Quinnipiac poll shows Booker would have led Lautenberg 51 percent to 30 percent among likely Democratic primary voters.
Geraldo Rivera (R). The attention-grabbing conservative Fox News commentator told Twitter followers last month that he's contemplating a run. "Wondering how folks feel about me running in N.J. under GOP banner against either Lautenberg or Booker for U.S. Senate?" he tweeted.
Apparently not much: About two-thirds of New Jersey voters, or 65 percent, said they would not be likely to vote for Mr. Rivera, according to a poll by Monmouth University. Some 26 percent say they would be very or somewhat likely to back the conservative commentator.
Rep. Frank Pallone (D). Congressman Pallone is the only person at this point expected to give Booker a run for his money. According to early reports, he already has $3.4 million in campaign funds and is quietly working behind the scenes to line up support. Commenting on Lautenberg's retirement, he recently told CNN "I will say his not running changes the political landscape and I've always been interested in the Senate, and I'm going to continue to explore running."
Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver (D). "I think that I will be well prepared to launch a campaign for the US Senate," the state legislator told reporters Thursday after Lautenberg's announcement. If nothing else, she'll keep Booker on his toes. "It has nothing to do with how many Twitter followers you have and it has nothing to do with how many Facebook friends you have," Assemblywoman Oliver said, taking a jab at the Newark mayor. "Mayor Booker will have to compete for the support of the citizens of New Jersey."
State Senate minority leader Thomas Kean (R). The Union County state senator ran for US Senate in 2006 to fill the seat of Jon Corzine, and he may be a potential Republican contender in 2014. He is the son of Thomas Kean, New Jersey governor from 1982 to 1990.
Assembly Republican leader Jon Bramnick (R). Another Union County Republican, Assemblyman Bramnick was appointed to the Assembly upon Kean's move to the state Senate and may also vie for the open US Senate seat.
Senate President Stephen Sweeney (D). The Gloucester County state senator is also contemplating a run, according to reports.

Snipe on New 15" Grizzly Planer???3/19
Just got a new planer in the shop that replaces our old one that died last week. We are getting alot of snipe and goofy stuff we never had before on our much smaller planer. Anybody have this machine and have advice for getting boards snipe free. I have been planing lumber for over 10 years so I know alot of the simple tricks that I learned on my small planer. But this planer is much differant. Just looking for anyone who has this machine and what they have done. We build alot of laminated butcher block stock, so the snipe is a real issue, the stock goes from the planer to the saw to glue up, any snipe shows when assembling the face of the boards.
New planer with snipe: Grizzly 15", 3hp, regular straight knife.
Old planer NO snipe: Dewalt 13" 2 speed. Great little planer, lasted us over 8 years. Replaced brushes 3 times, motor bearings twice, ran carbide blades. Lacked power for Maple, Hickory and Ash. (we plane alot a 6/4 ash/maple regularly)
Rough stock is face jointed or sanded flat before it gets to the planer. I have adjusted the feed roller springs a bit with no change. I have not checked the factory settings of the feed rollers and chip breaker in relation to the cutter head. Could adjusting the feed rollers make a differance? I have the bed rollers adjusted to a hair below the table surface. The bed is adjusted flat.
Thanks for your time!!!
what did grizzly tec department suggest?
Bed rollers need to be a hair ABOVE bed surface. Check your pressure bar! Check everything else while you are at it.
I'm with door shop guy, adjust the bed rollers so they just catch the board passing over them (maybe 0.005). Also when feeding material lift the back end of the board is whatever is going through the table is always tight to it, and the same goes with the material coming out.
That will minimize it a lot, but I always use longer material so it's not a concern when it happens.
Every planer I have ever worked with had a manual that gave all the basic set ups and troubleshooting. Generally starting with the cutting circle, the infeed roller needs to be closer to the table by so much, the pressure bar after the head has to be a few thousandths above or below the cutting circle, and the outfeed roller has to be set below the cutting circle. Table rollers are also set by the manual.
Once this is done, you should rarely need to make changes.
Tail snipe - on the end of the board - is almost always due to the pressure bar being set too high relative to the cutting circle. If it is fore snipe - the front of the board - it is from too little pressure on the infeed roller.
As mentioned above bed rollers need to be slightly above the bed surface.
I take an approx. 1" wide strip of copy paper and fold it in half. Then with a straight edge spanning the infeed and outfeed rollers I adjust them so the paper just barely slides under the straight edge. This is tested just inside the feed rollers.
Making this adjustment on the right side, then the left side and then the right side again will get your bed rollers where they need to be.
However while this is where the bed rollers need to be this probably isn't going to solve the end snipe problem. Again as mentioned above the feed rollers and pressure bar are the more likely culprit. That is unless there is a problem with the construction of the planer such as casting/grinding misalignment in the table.

Thanks for the info folks.
After having the machine in place now for a few days and running a few hundred feet of Hickory through, I have played with the bed rollers a little, got them just above the table, barely. I got a feel for the machine, and I am really enjoying it. Sure beats that little dewalt I had, holy crap, I think I have cut my planing time in half or more $$$. I stil have a little snipe on either ends, sometimes, but the more I use it the less snipe I am having. And the snipe is less than 1/32 to 1/64 mostly. I might try adjusting the feed rollers next.
The biggest change is the lumber needs to be really straight (more time on the jointer I guess) or it comes out a little wavy and really sniped, the dewalt was not near as bad for that. But nice straight lumber gets really good results, and fast.
I think I can deal with a little snipe for the time it is saving!!
Would upgrading to a spiral head make any differance with snipe? Prety sure I am going to get a spiral cutterhead, do the math and its a no brainer. Right?
Spiral head will not help with snipe.
Reread BH's post
Adjust the rollers. Taking a smaller final bite can eliminate snipe sometimes. Make sure you but one board up against the next.
It is rare to find a planer that gets no snipe. Your Dewalt is not a planer, it is a thicknesser. Different beast which takes a very light cut.
Try reducing the pressure on the out feed roller.
You can determine what is doing what by measuring back from the end of the board to where the snipe starts. Whatever this dimension is - lets say 3" - then you can measure from the cutting circle centerline to the pressure bar, or the infeed roller and see which is 3" away from the centerline of the cutterhead. In most cases the snipe starts when the lumber exits under the infeed rollers or the chipbreakers, though it is the pressure bar that resolves the snipe.
Again, tail snipe is 100% related to the pressure bar not being set low enough. If snipe appears to go away, it is just a function of less than flat lumber and/or how it is being fed.
Is there some reason why you are avoiding the manual?
