Time to join Confused's social network?
Matt Hunter from Confused has recently launched a new Ning network called Show Me The Money aimed at professionals in the price comparison field. Guess I'm one of them so should I join?
Their first blog post says; 'We've been playing with the idea for a while but now we've decided it's about time we created an industry forum. Where else can we flirt, fluant and do other things starting with f?'
Could be entertaining and insightful, or are they after company secrets? ;)
Clicked on 'sign up' link... the sign up page features this copy which kind of puzzled me a bit;
'Promote a financial product or service through major price comparison sites in the UK - or get a white label comparison service on your site'
Wassup here??

Hi Lena. Sorry about the mixed message on sign up. We set the site up a couple of months ago and weren't initially sure what it could be. That text was left overs from our initial playing about. I've just changed it to better reflect what the site is now about:ReplyDelete
This site aims to offer anyone in the industry an opportunity to share ideas and have fun. There's no company bias & currently no moderation
Whether people want to have such a site we'll just have to wait and see!
Thanks for pointing out the gaff
Hey MattReplyDelete
Ah thanks for commenting. It's a really neat idea and it'll be interesting to see where you and the community take it! Cute Halloween pics :)

Uhm, I probably didn't make this completely clear:
_Both_ copies of quake are running on the ALPHA, running the same
executable on the same CPU. They both have to calculate every single
pixel on the ALPHA.
_One_ copy (the one I referred to as "local") copies each frame into
the X buffer, presumably via shared memory. X is taking about 5%
CPU load for this. The other copy (the "remote" one) instead is
sending the whole frame through two NE2000 cards to the Pentiums
X server.
Bow, with both copies doing the same calculations, and the remote copy
having to fight with the ethernet bottleneck, I would expect the
local copy to run faster than the remote one. The opposite is the
case, the remote copy is 2.5 times faster (16fps vs 6fps).

Open Screen, New Orleans
The next Open Screen:
Monday, September 1. 5:30PM.
Antenna Gallery (3718 St. Claude Ave.)
Share your Labor Day heroes!
Join the Open Screen email list to receive information about the next and future Open Screen events:
Open Screen F.A.Qs
How does an Open Screen work?
Open Screens invite filmmakers of all kinds to screen and get feedback on their material. For our Open Screen, we ask that works are no longer than 10-minutes. Before each screening, the work's creator can address the audience with a short introduction. Audiences can then discuss the work after each screening. We encourage audiences to keep their discussion respectful, and we ask that filmmakers hold their response to audience feedback until after the Open Screen program is complete.
Why the 10-minute limit?
We want every filmmaker to have a chance to screen work, and we try to keep the entire program under 120-minutes. Time permitting, we'll screen longer work but we can't guarantee individual screening slots over 10-minutes.
What format should videos be in?
Generally, videos are in Quicktime MP4 or H.264 formats. Many participants bring videos on thumb drives, and the work is played off an Apple computer and 1080p projector.
Are student films or works-in-progress welcome?
Finished films, works-in-progress, student films, home movies,.. All Cinema is welcome to the Open Screen!
Is the Open Screen, New Orleans a regular thing?
Hopefully! We look to the community to tell us when Open Screens should happen. You can contact us via Cinema Reset's Facebook page, or click the envelope icon at the top-right of the page to share any ideas for Open Screen events. You can also join the Open Screen mailing list to receive announcements about future programs.
Questions / Suggestions?...

Description of the data source, numerator, denominator, survey questions, and other relevant details about the national estimate.
The TRI program has expanded significantly since its inception in 1987. The Agency has issued rules to roughly double the number of chemicals included in the TRI to approximately 650. Seven new industry sectors have been added to expand coverage significantly beyond the original covered industries, i.e. manufacturing industries. [TRI reporting industries primarily include manufacturing, metal and coal mining, electric utilities, and commercial hazardous waste treatment. Mobile sources emissions, which account for approximately 50% of all air toxics, as well as smaller sources such as gas stations and dry cleaners are not included in TRI.] Most recently, the Agency has reduced the reporting thresholds for certain persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) chemicals in order to be able to provide additional information to the public on these chemicals.

|Arsenic Removal From Drinking Water by Coagulation/Filtration and Lime Softening Plants (PDF) (108 pp, 1.54 MB) (EPA/600/R-00/063) June 2000
This report documents the results of sampling and analysis at two coagulation/filtration plants (referred to in this document as Plants A and B) and one lime softening plant (referred to as Plant C). The objective of sampling and analysis was to evaluate the effectiveness of the water treatment plants to consistently remove arsenic from source water. In addition, data were collected to evaluate the chemical characteristics of the residuals produced by the treatment processes.
The study was divided into three phases:
Sludge samples also were collected at each facility during a single sampling event from settling lagoons and ponds during a two-month period. Samples of recycled supernatant water (Plant A) and supernatant discharge water (Plants B and C) were collected monthly, beginning in November 1998 and continuing until June 1999.
Long-term evaluation of Plants A and B demonstrated that conventional coagulation/filtration can consistently achieve low levels of arsenic (i.e., less than 5 micrograms per liter [µg/L]) in the treated water. The total arsenic concentrations at Plant A were reduced by an average of 52 percent; this represents a decrease of average arsenic concentrations from 7.5 µg/L in the source water to 3.5 µg/L in the finished water. Average total arsenic removal efficiency at Plant B was 79 percent, with an average source water concentration of 19.1 µg/L and an average finished water concentration of 4.0 µg/L. Adsorption and coprecipitation of arsenic (V) with iron and aluminum flocs are believed to have been the primary arsenic removal mechanisms at these plants.
The lime softening facility, Plant C, was not able to consistently reduce arsenic to low levels in treated water. The average total arsenic concentration in Plant C source water was 32.0 µg/L. The lime softening plant reduced the average total arsenic concentration to 16.6 µg/L in the finished water, which equals a 45 percent removal efficiency. Arsenic (III) was the primary species of soluble arsenic in the raw water and was almost completely oxidized to arsenic (V) as a result of two chlorination steps that occurred prior to softening and prior to filtration. The primary mechanism of arsenic removal was likely adsorption and coprecipitation of arsenic (V) with iron that was present in the source water. Plant C operated at a pH of 9.6, a level at which arsenic removal by coprecipitation with calcium carbonate is reported to be less than 10 percent.
None of the sludge samples collected at Plants A, B, and C qualified as a hazardous waste based on Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) testing for metals. Therefore, nonhazardous waste landfills should be able to accept the sludge generated by these treatment processes.

Trio of Cuban San Cristóbals to Get Cut
Gregory Mottola, Gordon Mott
Posted: April 18, 2011
Every year, a few Cuban cigars are deleted from Habanos S.A.'s portfolio of sizes. This year, a trio of San Cristóbal de la Habana sizes are on the chopping block.
The Muralla, Mercaderes and Oficios are scheduled to be taken out of production. Though not part of the original core line, which was launched in 1999, these sizes were released in 2006 as La Casa del Habano exclusives.
At the time of their launching, these sizes were available only at La Casa Del Habano stores, the official retail outlet licensed by Habanos S.A. Cigars that are La Casa del Habano exclusives can be identified by a secondary sienna-colored band that bears the franchise logo in gold.
Each of these San Cristóbal sizes were unique within the Habanos portfolio, as no other brands utilized those specifications. The Muralla measured 7 1/8 inches long by 54 ring. Called a Rodolfo in Cuban cigar factories, it was the largest regular production torpedo size made in Cuba. The Mercaderes, also referred to as Hermosos No. 1, measured 6 5/8 by 48 ring and the Oficios, or Dalias Cortas, were rolled at a diminutive 5 3/8 by 43.
This cut will bring the San Cristóbal brand back down to its original four sizes: El Morro, 7 1/8 by 49; La Fuerza, 5 1/2 by 50; El Principe, 4 3/8 by 42; and La Punta, a 5 1/2 by 52 belicoso.
For more on this, see the April 5 issue of Cigar Insider.

Batch Powder Coating > Powder Guns
Husker Finishing Equipment is proud to carry the complete line of KCI powder equipment. KCI is recognized worldwide for high quality, superior performance and cost effectiveness. All of KCI's equipment carries with it advanced technology and warranty backed by over 26 years of research and development.
With any corona charging system, corners and recessed areas tend to be a challenge due to electrostatic repulsion caused by high voltage and current. In an attempt to solve this problem the voltage is typically lowered thus lowering the current in the process. This leads to weakening of the electrostatic force which often causes low transfer efficiency and poor powder adhesion.
The KCI K1 Series Powder Gun is the lightest and most ergonomically balanced gun in the industry!
With PULSE COATING the powder is repeatedly charged with a low current/high voltage in short intervals (15-20 times per second). Some of the advantages to PULSE COATING technology are a reduction in powder usage, in most cases up to 20% less, which will also result in a decrease of the Orange Peel effect. Recoats will become easier to coat and corners will no longer be the challenge they once were.
The KCI K1 Series powder system offers 4 factory programmed settings to conquer any coating challenge:
- Pulse Coating Mode: Rapidly recharges the powder for increased transfer efficiency in many cases
- Corner Mode: Adjusts the voltage while holding current when coating complicated shapes and corners
- Re-Coat Mode: Adjusts voltage and current in one-touch to allow for recoating of parts
- Normal Coating Mode: This preset maximizes voltage allowing for superior transfer efficiency for larger coating jobs

SF Good Questions: What Color Should I Paint My Kitchen Cabinets?
Hello! My husband and I have just purchased a 1910 Foursquare in Portland. While the house has many wonderful spaces, the kitchen is not one of them. It is cramped and dark, and will probably be the first project we will tackle in the next six months...
...In the meantime, I was considering painting the cabinets (they are currently a very dark brown) and potentially the walls a lively color that would compliment the dark gray counter tops. The ceiling is 12 feet, so that is a lot of wall space!
Jump in, everyone!
Note: Include a picture and your question gets posted first
52 Comments
What were the previous owners thinking with that color scheme???
How lively of a color? I could see another lighter neutral with color brought in with accessories.
Say a gray - on the yellow side (not blue).
But I am not always the best at this.
Other ATers - chime in.
I always like white cabinets especially with the grey counters. Then you could do something bright and cheery on the walls or just an accent wall.
How about the silver / gray / caramel color scheme that was posted earlier this week?
I can tell you right now that blue looks awful with food (despite this, I have a teal accent wall in my kitchen that I love). Also, red and yellow are used in fast food joints for a reason: they stimulate the appetite. I would pick a favorite food and use it for inspiration, like maybe green for the cabinets and eggplant purple for accents. I want to accent my wall with tangerine (I swear it looks fantastic together) but haven't had the guts yet.
any color goes -- glossy white cabinets and limish green walls is a favorite combo of mine for kitchens
Glossy White!
I don't think the existing kitchen would be so dark if the window wasn't being attacked by the foliage outside blocking all the sun.
Wow. So dark!
From the angle of the pictures you really don't have much actual wall to play with to break up all that dark surface area. That being the case, I think either the counters need to go or you need to paint the cabinets. My vote is easily for a light cabinet color. White is always clean and simple, and allows you to have more fun with the wall colors.
I love all that green outside your windows, but that filtered light is another good reason to lighten up the room (especially in the Portland winter). I also have to add that I am jealous of your counter space!
Congrats on your new home!
I'm with phaedrus - glossy white cabinets and limey walls.
On second thought, with the white window trim and white appliances, white cabinets might be too much white.
I'm interested to see what other folks think...
I like dark kitchens, so I would leave it, live with it, or consider the lighting situation before cracking open the paint cans.
I think the white appliance are highlighting the problem, too. I know it's the go-to kitchen solution, but stainless appliances would look great with the existing kitchen.
I'd actually knock the floors darker, too. Slate would look great here.
Told ya I liked dark kitchens!
I think anything but some sort of nature-based neutral or pure white will look an amateur mistake with that countertop color.
are your appliances bisque (who invented that color anyway) or white? if they aren't white i wouldn't paint the cabinets white.
And I'd be more apt to make the cabinets and counters work by painting the walls, not the cabinets, as a short-term solution while you figure out how the kitchen works for you.
A grayed out PALE sage, or a grayed-out PALE Robin's Egg, leaving trim white, although I am typically NOT a fan of green or blue in kitchens.
Am I the only one who sees all of that foliage blocking the window, i.e. natural light???
Glossy white kitchen cabinets and any wall color of your choice.
It is easy to change the color of the walls but not the cabinets.
If you paint the cabinets white any color should be good;
If you get sick of the wall color it is easy to change.
I do not see any gray or otherwise gray-toned colors in this room. The counter is gray and thats enough. I would do glossy white cabinets with any bright happy color on the walls. Right now I'm thinking a light yellow or pale green but really anything "pastel" (ugh, hate that word) would look really nice.
WHITE! Paint everything WHITE! BRIGHT WHITE!
Unless you're a mole person and want to live in the dark.
P.S. I think ORANGE JULIUS has a point about the hedge.
i'm with bumblebeechicago...it would be pretty sweet to incorporate the silver, gray and caramel palette somehow.
that being said, i'm not exactly sure how it could be executed. maybe white cabinets with prominent silver handles, and caramel as a wall color?? they'd contrast nicely with the dark counters...
I agree with Patrick, unless there's something I'm not seeing, it actually looks pretty good - and the white appliances look out of place. The dishwasher is worse than the fridge.
Is the wall white? If so I'd paint it a muted gold color, or a grey toned pale blue.
And yes, the Triffids are attacking your home!
I like the dark color myself. How would it look to cover the cabinets with cut out recipes? The black and white print would look sort of grey. Seem like that idea came up recently on some other thread. I've been thinking of doing that to my cabinets. The insides of my cabinets are covered in fruit stickers and the multi colors look interesting. My counter is dark grey too. When you put some platters or applicances or bowls of fruit out, the dark background can make things stand out.
oh, take off the top doors for open cabinets and paint everything glossy white! it would open up the space so nicely...
Listen to Patrick, it's the appliances! Dark kitchens can be very warm and inviting, but you have to carry the color scheme throughout the room. So get yourself some top of the line energy saving darker non-white appliances. Congratulations on your new house!
i actually don't mind the kitchen cabinets as they are! but i suppose glossy white cabinets would be an alternative if you want everything to match and you don't want to spring for a new refrigerator.
I think that white might not be in keeping with a 1910 four-square. It's probably quite Craftsman-y, no? That being said, I like the idea of a dark color scheme, but definitely invest in better lighting. Under-cabinet lights and/or some uplighting that washes the tall walls above the cabinets will make it feel like a different space.
White cabinets with some eye-catching pulls will make a world of difference.
Wow! Thanks for all the comments everyone. I should have included a picture of the room in reverse - the other side of the kitchen has nothing on the whole wall, so it is potentially a LOT of color.
Couple things: The hedge isn't nearly so close as the picture makes it look, but, yes, trimming it back is high on my list. We are also going to increase the lighting, since it has only one halogen fixture now (the one above the window is busted).
The appliances are white, and cheap and terrible. Especially the dishwasher which is half sized (despite there being room for a full sized one?!)
I wish I had a better picture of the floor, it is a mottled tan/rust/gray which is truly awful. My last two kitchens have been red, white and light so this cave has been a real challenge.
I vote for glossy white cabinets with a lime green, pale sage green or go for it with tangerine wall paint.
I also don't mind the dark kitchen, and agree that the white appliances are throwing things off. Stainless would be nice with the silver/grey/camel combo suggested above. But if the existing appliances are of good quality/energy efficient, I hestitate to recommend that you toss them for aesthetic purposes (unless, of course, you can sell them to someone who will use them). If you keep the dark, change the cabinet pulls to something a bit more modern.
If you keep the white appliances, I agree with the suggestions to go glossy white on the cabinets. And maybe a granny smith apple color on the walls? Someone in the January Jumpstart contest did a kitchen in that color and it looked really cheery and bright.
I am also a fan of a dark gray and green color combo.
For the cabinets I think your best choice is white, as it will also help to blend the fridge and dishwasher and lighten up the space considerably, which is what I think you really want at this point. If possible removing the doors of some, if not all the upper cabinets to display colorful cookware/dishware/cookbooks will also open up the space. Plus it's always nice to have something to look at that you really love.
Since it appears you are going to be redoing this space in the near future anyway I wouldn't invest in too much outside of a few nice cans of paint, and if you can find it, some cheap hardware. Other cheap fixes, curtains for around the window (not to necessarily block light) and perhaps rummage for a vintage lamp or two to bring in a nice pop of color and some additional lighting into the space. Pots of fresh herbs, fresh flowers and I think it will be enjoyable enough that you don't have to run head first into that reno.
Good luck!
I tend to agree with Patrick. I'd leave the cabinets and just paint the walls. I do like someone's earlier suggestion of Tangerine - it might look good against the green shrub through the window.
Use the effort that you would have spent repainting cabinets on the lighting. Get as much under cabinet lighting as you can and use some rope-lights on top of the cabinets to get a glow on.
Although me, cheap as I am, I would just wait six-months for the true renovation and do it right once instead of worrying about it now. 6-months will pass in a flash.
How about painting all the cabinets a pale gray, adding flashy drawer/cabinet pulls, and using colorful wallpaper in the strip just above the backsplash?
The windows are beautiful, but they're washed out by all that white. You need some contrast next to the white window panes.
Also, you could install an inexpensive track light set and emphasize the colorful accent areas.
I would open the image in Photoshop and run a few color studies against the cabinets and walls.
I love a light-filled kitchen, but sometimes you've got to work with what you've got.
My vote is to keep the cabinets dark brown. They are very contemporary and will look really sleek if dressed up properly.
If this was my kitchen, I would lighten things up by simply changing out the upper cabinet doors with frosted glass fronts. (If you really can't stand them, just paint the upper cabinets a high gloss white and leave the lower one's brown Pick a neutral colored countertop - preferably white marble or concrete. And last but not least, definitely switch to stainless steel or black appliances. Leave the walls white and invest in good lighting.
There will be more contrast and a lot more shiny surfaces for the light to bounce around.
How much do you want to spend? The less expensive solution/something to do "for now": gloss white paint for the cabinets. Keep the walls white, or a warm ivory. It's a small space and by having the maximum number of surfaces in one color, you'll get a greater feeling of spaciousness. Get rid of the foliage in front of the windows. New lighting would make a big impact. Overall, keep it simple.
Eventually, you'll want to consider new counters, perhaps cabinets, and so on. A really modern, sleek, light-filled kitchen would be a wonderful contrast to the bungalow-ness of the rest of the house.
What's wrong with the color the cabinets are now?
I'd paint the walls Tomato Red and replace those drab countertops with a glossy Solid-White Formica or Corian with a simple square edge and no rear lip - instead, a backsplash of 3"x6" high-gloss Super-White subway tile laid in a vertical running bond - then complete the picture with new brushed-chrome handles on all the doors and drawers and new brushed chrome electrical faceplates.
Finally, I'd install LED rope-lights under the upper cabinets for task lighting, and above the uppers for indirect ambient lighting.
While you're at it, replace the flooring with a plain glossy white vinyl tile, the sink faucet with a tall brushed-chrome gooseneck and the ceiling light fixture with a big round ball like the FADO from IKEA:.
All the window and door trim should also be painted a High-Gloss Super-White.
Do this, and accessorize with Red & Stainless cookware and accessories, and you'll have a glamorous new look.
I would leave them dark and opt for some undercounter lighting and a nice blacksplash (maybe slate) and swap out the appliances like others have said.
Its the flooring and the white appliances that are causing the cupboards to look 'off'. Deal with those, leave the cabinets but change the handles - perhaps long silver handles, then put a metal venetian blind over the window.
I vote for the glossy white cabinets, a light lime green for the walls and trim down that hedge...
forget changing the cabs...change out appliances and swap dark counter for light....Caesarstone Baja, perhaps....and some neat pulls or knobs and you are in great shape....
In addition to leaving the cabinets and countertops, try long stainless steel pulls for your doors and drawers. You just may end up liking the look.
And add a fabric faux-Roman shade with the gray, brown, white and a punchier version of your pale (new) wall color in the pattern. And on your blank opposite wall, put up a grid of framed plates (bookplates, not dinner plates) of vintage images of bird's eggs, to make sense of the overall palette. I promise you can make this work without any major changes. But those appliances...
And don't change your kitchen floor until you are sure what surrounding-- and adjoining-- flooring decisions will be. In the meantime, put down Chilewich vinyl, Bolon synthetic sisal, a sisal area rug or Flor tiles if you can't stand what you have even temporarily.
I would definitely keep the cabinets - they look beautiful, at least in the pictures.
However, I would get a lighter colored countertop - whitish/beigish/sandish - a warmer shade, not a cool grayish shade. The dark gray countertop is not working with the dark brown of the cabinets. I think a lighter countertop would make the most difference in getting the room to feel brighter.
Paint the walls whatever color you like, but probably not a cool shade of white - I think that would be too stark a contrast against the dark, warm cabinets.
Remove some of the foliage/branches/bushes, if at all possible.
Keep the window trim white.
The floor is okay too, until you are ready to invest in a new one.
Definitely consider new hardware, i.e. cabinet and drawer pulls - long stainless steel ones would look great.
The worst thing in your kitchen is definitely the dishwasher and the refrigerator. I know that stainless steel is getting a bad rap lately, but I love it because to me it is a timeless medium neutral that works well with nearly anything. Plus, stainless steel is shiny, so it adds to the light in a room. So, if/when your budget allows, I would definitely get stainless steel appliances.
Just my opinion! :) I would love to see pictures of what you do with your great new kitchen!
I am really surprised at all the people advocating keeping dark brown cabinets with a grey countertop! I think the lighting in that photo is playing some tricks, because it almost looks as though the cabinets/countertop are the same color when I'd bet in reality they are not. I'm shuddering at the thought of deep brown coupled with deep grey!
I'd either do glossy white with a fun colored wall, or I'd go with a retro muted aqua (think VERY muted and matte) - there's a great example of this in, I think, the most recent blueprint?
wanted to add - this is kind of a bad picture, but it gives an idea of the color I mean: http://www.marthastewart.com/portal/site/mslo/menuitem.3a0656639de62ad593598e10d373a0a0/?vgnextoid=d5da16d7de9e6110VgnVCM1000003d370a0aRCRD&vgnextfmt=default
Shuddering at deep brown and deep grey? So funny how subjective things like this are! I love that combination, and even wear it all the time!
If the cabinets were a deep beautiful Wenge and the countertops were a rich slate, would it not work for you then?
And kittyj, to make you feel better, the majority here still seem to be saying paint it.
I have an aversion to DIY repainted kitchen cabinets (perhaps since I grew up with them) so, since this seems to be a temporary situation, I say live with it. If the homeowner "always" lived with a red and white kitchen, perhaps this is a time when the house can speak to her, and give her something different to work with.
Patrick - I think in the case of Wenge coupled with slate, the color combination might actually work for me. However, I'm unable to tell if this is merely me being wooed by the thought of such beautiful materials :-) I imagine in a situation where there was such rich material contrast, the pairing of two dark colors could work quite nicely. In the example at hand I am not convinced, but I do hear your point about allowing the home to speak to the owner.
Also think that hedge is probably creating privacy from a close-by neighbor, and it doesn't look to me like those plants are even up against the window. Looks to me like there is a walk-way.
The color in the pics is a little misleading - here is a (blurry) pic that better reveals the colors.
That photoset also has the rest of the house, which I didn't post for fear of the small space brigade.
I'd still be inclined to work with, versus against it, for the timebeing. Or, if even more ambitious, a slate or glass mosaic backsplash that makes the colors seem more intentional. And leave the trim white if you paint the walls.
The cabinets look a little beat up so I vote for painting them white. My rental dishwasher was just as ugly, but I covered with stainless steel contact paper for a quick fix. You can see my before & after dark to light paint job here:
I actually love the color of the cabinets! AND the counter top is great too. Unlike most here I don't like white kitchen AT ALL.
I would keep it as is and change the appliances, yeah, I know stainless seem the best...
Please! no white!
I also love the color combo the cabs and counter. My advice depends on how much renovation you are planning. If the appliances you want post-renovation will fit into your current kitchen configuration, get them now. If the new appliances need to be different sizes to accommodate a new floor plan, or if you are against buying stainless appliances, a) live with it as is or b) paint the cabinets white. Painting cabinets is a long, tiresome job, so I would avoid it at all costs. Another option is to reface the cabinets. But if you're ripping them out within a year, don't put a lot of money into them now.
Whatever you do with the rest of the kitchen, you are in desperate need of more/better lighting. That spot above the window is scaring me! Get under-cabinet lighting, and look for craftsman fixtures that will fit into your new kitchen as well.
Let us know what you end up doing!
Perhaps a terra cotta/cherokee red on the cabinets with a grayish or tan (neutral) wall color? Lots of indigo blue and eggplant accents. That would be beautiful. Colors van Gogh loved to use. OR, I just repainted an old dresser and I recreated wood grain with paint. That might be kind of cool. I'm all for the natural look. Buy a coarse brush and paint over a light brown or beige?

Ugh, PvP. My hatred of PvP dates all the way back to playing on battle.net with Starcraft and Warcraft II. At least with WoW you can choose a server where you're not forced in to it, there people could turn PvE maps into PvP just by turning off the alliance regardless of what anyone else in the game could do. So yeah, there's always been a bad taste in my mouth regarding PvP.. But, while I'm aware from having a friend who loves it that not everyone in PvP is a complete and utter insensitive aggressive jerk, they're the loudest and, frankly, there is nothing about PvP appealing enough to make me put up with that.

CAPE CORAL: Three teens are accused of damaging approximately 40 mailboxes, two street signs and a palm tree in the southwest section of Cape Coral on February 26.
The suspects were identified through surveillance video at the home of one of the victims.
When Cape Coral Police found the Jeep Wrangler in the surveillance video the next night, Nathaniel Gauthier admitted to hitting the mailboxes.
Nathaniel's brother, Steve Gauthier, also admitted to causing damage but said he only damaged one mailbox because he hurt his ankle while kicking it.
A third juvenile who was not identified was also arrested.
All three face eleven counts of criminal mischief.

this salad was excellent. the soft cooked egg and warm mushrooms elevated the simple greens to an elegant level. the hollandaise is not a true hollandaise but it works. i will certainly be making this salad in the future.
Mushroom and Soft-Cooked Egg Salad with Hollandaise
portland Posted: 11/26/10
detailaddict Posted: 08/02/13
This looked promising but turned out just ok. The watercress didn't really contribute much as opposed to other greens, and the egg needed more than 5 minutes to cook the white. I cracked open an egg and found that it was still almost completely liquid, but by then it was too late to cook it further. I certainly wasn't going to waste a free-range egg so I ate quite possibly the rawest egg of my life. And 28g of fat? I fixed that by using plain yogurt instead of creme fraiche - which worked fine as no boiling was required. The highlight was the mushrooms, which made the dish worthwhile, but other recipes feature gourmet mushrooms just as well or better. I might make this again but with less "specialized" greens and a more-cooked egg.

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsty.com/kagamine-rin-meltdown-lyrics.html ]
A brilliant light and ephemeral ether fill the town with heavy dreams
It's 2 am and due to the changing world, I find that sleep eludes me still
Oil in the now empty lighter has set my gut and my deep thoughts on fire
If everything we know is a lie, then I suppose this life is fine after all
I've dreamt of wrapping my fingers around your supple neck
While endless light surrounds us in a sweet afternoon
With tears swimming and ruining my sight
I've had the dream of cinching your delicate neck
Diving headfirst in the nuclear reactor
All around me is a bright light, blinding me and giving me wings at the same time
Diving headfirst into the abyss beyond the light
Then my head will clear as I tumble on past life and death and on to oblivion
Veranda views are lovely, but they don't distract me from the sound of climbing footsteps
And through the pane of glass the heavens tumble downward, crashing in the empty room
As twilight looms beyond the edge, the twinkle of sunset is like tearstained eyes
Each second passes with one more downfall, with every second our world succumbs to death
I've dreamt of wrapping my fingers around your supple neck
As bedroom curtains rustle in afternoon breezes
Flowing from your lips are words I can't hear
And still they pop out like old forgotten bubbles
Diving headfirst in the nuclear reactor
I lose grip on my memories, as they all fade away into the white silence
Diving headfirst into the abyss beyond the light
I hope for sleep, if I have that, then I won't have any more regrets as I fade away
The voices talk in endless babble with the clock, but I'm far away
My senses instead pick up on laughter long gone by, and I must wonder if the sound is only a joke
Allegro Agitate, give my ears some solace from this endless torture
Allegro Agitate, give my ears some solace from this endless torture
I've dreamt of everyone disappearing all from this world
And all that's left is silence and emptiness weighing on me
This mantle is too much for me
It robs my way of breathing and carrying on
Diving headfirst in the nuclear reactor
I hope for sleep, so please let me drift away into silence where I'll be forgotten
Life will be much better now I'm gone, and mornings shine with brilliant light
I won't be missed, so just let me fade away and you'll be happy then
This dying world comes back to life...
I long to be forgotten...

Letter | Books and tolls
A few years ago, the King County Library used to mail books that were on hold to patrons when they came in. Then funding ran out and they stopped.
I asked if they could mail holds for patrons who were willing to pay the fees, and was told, "No, that would create a different class of service between people who could afford pay and those who could not."
Isn't HOT lanes exactly that, a different class of public use based on who can afford it? Seems to me either the librarian was mistaken, or HOT lanes are a violation of free access to public services and infrastructure.
Either ditch HOT lanes or start "mail holds for a fee" to KCLS. I'm sure the library could use the money.

The Man Whose Microbiome Got Him Drunk
A 61-year-old man checks into the emergency room with a blood alcohol content of 0.37, almost five times the legal limit. There's just one catch: He hadn't had a sip of alcohol all day.
The culprit? He had a brewery inside his gut. This avid home-brewer had come down with a brewer's yeast infection in his intestines, and any time he ate starch, they fermented it into alcohol inside his body! Yeast is used in all kinds of foods, but usually the cooking process or our stomach acids kill it before it can take up residence.
This guy's gut microbiome was on permanent spring break. More at NPR.
Bonus: Find out much more about the 99% of you that isn't you, your microbiome, via It's Okay To Be Smart on YouTube.
Wee Yeasty Beasties
Fungi are like Rodney Dangerfields of the microbial world. Funny looking, often oddly round, and they get no respect.
I mean, their name suggests that they'd be rather enjoyable to hang out with*. A new survey of the human skin ecosystem has identified some of their diverse influence on human health and biology.
For as much attention as our microbiome gets these days (need a microbiome introduction? I made a video about it), the bacteria receive most of the publicity. But as the photo above shows, many regions of our bodies are teeming with yeast and other fungi (the blue dots are yeast on a human hair). Understanding their diversity is essential to figuring out who's a good fungi and who's a yeast beast.
Not only is it important to understand how these various species lead to medical annoyances like toenail infections, athlete's foot, dandruff, diaper rash, and, of course, yeast infections, but also how they interact with or are held in check by our bacterial copilots. With as many as 60 to 80 different species living on your feet, who's welcome and who's a ticking time bomb for a locker-room itch-fest?

You're made of 10 trillion cells, but you carry 100 trillion microbes – meet your microbiome.
Hey, that's me! I love seeing myself on my own dashboard.
I recently cam across a really great article from Carl Zimmer about the hurdles and hopes of using "Bugs As Drugs". You should really go check it out. The more we understand about what we're made of, the more we can be complete and healthy

What does this picture mean, you ask? Our genome has about 20,000 genes in it. But if you added up all the genes in all the species of bacteria that call us home, the number is closer to 2 million genes! We are the <1%
Fellow Travelers - Our Microbiome Illustrated
A little art to go with the latest episode of the YouTube show.
The human microbiome (and microbiomes in general) may just be my favorite subject in biology. This intricate, and in many ways still-mysterious, microbial ecosystem that each of us carry in and on our bodies affects so much of our life! Are we humans, or super-organisms? And to think that we have been completely ignorant of it for so long…
Here's some of my favorite impressions of human microbiome science as captured through the eyes of artists. Links for each: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Mainly Microbe - Meet Your Microbiome!!
New episode time! Wooooo!! Party!!
This week we take a look at one of my favorite subjects in biology. The microbiome. Throughout history, germs and microbes have been associated with the icky, the bad and the unhealthy. But it turns out we are walking ecosystems, chock full of tiny microbial mates!
Think about it: Ever not felt completely like yourself? There's a good reason for that. Because a large part of you … isn't you. Our bodies are home to ten times as many microbes as human cells. We are walking ecosystems, each of us home to thousands of different species on and inside of us.
Sure, some bacteria are dangerous, but without our tiny friends we wouldn't be here. Literally. Like, they keep us alive.
This episode just scratches the surface of all the awesome microbiome science that's out there. What do you want to know more about? Leave me a comment over at YouTube or send me a message and we can keep this microbiome party going.
Also, I am particularly proud of my t-shirt in this one.

Thankfully, most of us don't go through our day puckered in fear that we might, at any unknown moment, loose our bowels in a Niagara-esque outpouring of one's colon contents. But for people with Clostridium dificile infections, that is a clear and present danger.
It's not just the discomfort of frequent and recurring diarrhea that plagues those with C. diff. They are at real risk of damaging their colon tissue from inflammation as well as serious dehydration. Even worse, C. diff. is hard to kill with antibiotics, as it most often rears its anaerobic head when a patient has had their normal gut flora killed off by previous antibiotic treatment, leaving the colon a lawless Wild West for the tiny diarrhea bandits to take over.
There is good news, though (see below)! The Wyatt Earp in this (south)-Western is being played by fecal transplants.
Yep. In a fecal transplant, C. diff colons are seeded with donated (purified) fecal material, and all the healthy bacteria therein, and they fight off the bad guys. Not a very intriguing opportunity, eh? Well, if you've ever had a C. diff. infection, I hear you'd change your mind pretty fast.
The news:
These scientists must be swollen full of pride, about ready to gush thanks to this outpouring of amazing results!
But seriously, fighting bad poo with good poo? Nature, you work in mysterious ways. I like that. Keeps it interesting.
You Are Your Microbes
Sure, you feel human, but that's only mostly right. In and on your body, you're outnumbered by ten times when it comes to microbes. And many of them have essential duties that we just couldn't do by ourselves. Here's a trip through your microbial inner universe … what we call the "microbiome".

less dubstep.
more tech house and minimal.
less dubstep.
more tech house and minimal.
Limit the wobble. Actually just do away with it completely, please.
You guys are fucking dorks.
For one, there were a total of 5 dubstep acts in the Sahara, one of which is more of a DNB act (Chase + Status) and 3 of which were done by 4:30 PM on Friday. There is 0 room to whine here, you were given a Sahara tent loaded with electro and house artists with little dubstep to "ruin" your beloved party.
For two, the Pure Filth stage wouldn't EXIST without dubstep becoming such a beast. This stage would have been perfect for 12th Planet to headline on Sunday instead of a sparsely attended Sahara opener on Friday (and a sparsely attended Ramadanman set during Kanye). Pure Filth should always feature hip hop, DNB and dubstep.
Now where we do agree is in the fucking DO LAB. The Do Lab tried too hard to overload the generic ass dubstep, and did it with their laughable talent pool of Bay Area dubstep artists, most of whom wouldn't make a penny outside of the self-congradulating NorCal scene. They were completely unprepared for the sound bleed and should have some sort of noise cap next year.
And people saying dubstep isn't a diverse sound are stupid as fuck. I hate house music, but I think it's diverse.
For two, I could care less about the aptly named pure filth stage!("Make the dome an acoustic/Q&A stage in the center of the food court tent." me)
And this is like the 5th year of soundbleed... take the dolab outback put it out of it's misery!
Also, I hate genres in general! Dubstep is just a convenient way for me classify the sound and people I'd like removed from coachella.
no. the do-lab is in a perfect place so you can get wet on the way between stages. maybe turn it down
no the do-lab is also fun to get wet in. it's fun to dance and get sprayed with water. but i think that when 75% of the time they play dubstep, it sucks.
hence more fucking MINIMAL
Or maybe just inform the Do Lab that they are a stage, not a San Francisco music showcase, and should try to change up the lineup since Pure Filth has actual good dubstep artists.
Get rid of both the do-lab and dub-step music. FUCK EM.
this thread makes me laugh
the music is what its all about, you love it just like i love it.
Theres nothing wrong with dubstep... There is something wrong with the current trends of dubstep: brostep and just overall filth. I agree that having a certain genre of music playing at one time on multiple stages is a bit much, but I also feel that you are using dubstel as a blanket term for filth lol. Reduce brostep/filth.
viva le resistance
i heard radiohead loves dubstep. does that mean they arent confirmez?
Less dubstep. More Underworld.
The Knife - Beck - The Cult - Motorhead - QOTSA - Outkast - The Replacements - Bryan Ferry - Pet Shop Boys - Temples - Crosses - Washed Out - The Preatures - Little Dragon - Mogwai - Broken Bells - Jon Spencer - Tiga - The Internet - Blood Orange - Naked and the Famous - The Knife - The Knife - The Knife - The Knife
Will this be the year the record is broken?
Dubstep on ***4*** stages simultaneously?
It could and probably will happen...
10/8 - Little Dragon @ Marquee (Tempe, AZ)
10/11 - Carolina Chocolate Drops @ Rialto Theater (Tucson, AZ)
11/10 - The Black Keys @ US Airways Center (Phoenix, AZ)
4/10/15 - 4/12/15 - Coachella
Dubstep was only good once at Coachella. In the Dome that was open to the side of the camping grounds after hours in 2009.
Upcoming shows
Facebook // Twitter // Blog // Tumblr // Instagram
Coachella: 04,06,07,09,10,11,12(1&2),13(1&2),14(1&2)
Swans 9/8, Modest Mouse 9/26, Cibo Matto 10/4, The Weeknd/Schoolboy Q/Jhene Aiko 10/10, Placebo 10/23, Charli XCX 10/25, Digitalism 11/7, First Aid Kit 11/13, Tame Impala 11/15, Sky Ferreira 11/23&24
Mad Decent Block Party 9/19, Holy Ship! 1/3-6/2015, Coachella 4/10-12&17-19/2015
I still don't understand how so many bands find it acceptable to compose songs entirely of bass wobbles. I think less of that would be a nice change.
So I guess that means:
2/21 - Skinny Puppy
5/23-25 - Summer Camp
7/18-20 - Pitchfork Music Festival
8/1-3 - Lollapalooza

10 picks for the epic bull market
Evidence is mounting that an epic bull market has already begun. But there are still ways to position your portfolio to take advantage in 2011.
Related topics: stocks, investing strategy, interest rates, utilities, Anthony Mirhaydari
Back in September, I wrote that we were on the cusp of an "epic bull market" as corporations used ultracheap financing to transfer wealth to shareholders. This was an out-of-consensus idea at a time when fear and uncertainty were so high. In other words, more than a few of you thought I was crazy.
Since then, the major indices have been on the move and are now trading at multiyear highs.
I'm convinced as we roll into 2011 that this bull is on. And if you've been on the fence, unsure about the economy's strength and the longevity of the stock market's strength, know that there is still time to cash in.
After the worst decade for stocks in a generation, things are turning around. Businesses have been taking advantage of the massive flow of investors' cash into bonds to issue new debt and pad their balance sheets. In turn, this cash is being used to engage in share buybacks, mergers and acquisitions. This is providing the critical element -- demand for stocks -- that will continue to drive equity prices higher and ultimately reignite investor interest in 2011.
In fact, this may already be happening: The fund flow experts at EPFR Global note that in five market days that ended Dec. 15, bond funds posted their biggest outflow since October 2008, while equity funds took in more than $10 billion for the second such period running. The shift from bonds to equities is accelerating as the economy strengthens and the epic bull market picks up steam.
Anthony Mirhaydari
Like the consumer-driven housing boom and bust we just went through, the new upturn is being driven by cheap borrowing. But businesses are driving the trend this time. Before we look at the areas of the market poised for outperformance in 2011, let's review the forces at work here -- because they are key to understanding where investors should focus their attention.
Debt deliverance, again
While households continue to pay down debts, businesses are ramping up their borrowing in a big way: Over the past two years, consumer credit market liabilities are down 3.5% while corporate indebtedness is up nearly 4% and has reached a new record high.
With the banks only now loosening their lending standards, the majority of this increase has been new debt issuance. Through the end of October, companies had issued more than $570 billion in new bonds, according to Société Générale, on pace to challenge 2009's record-setting full year total of nearly $800 billion and already coming in higher than the end-of-year totals for 2000 through 2008.
Much of this has been at very low cost. Microsoft (MSFT, news) issued a three-year bond note carrying an annual interest rate of just 0.875%. Wal-Mart Stores (WMT, news) and Coca-Cola (KO, news) borrowed at 0.75% a year for three years.
As a result, corporations are sitting on a cash pile worth $1.9 trillion -- the largest, as a percentage of total assets, since 1959. Slowly, the money is finding its way into stocks. Without getting technical, the reason is simple: Stocks are offering a higher earnings yield -- a higher implied return -- than bonds.
You can see just how rare a situation this is in the chart above, which illustrates the recent rise in the equity risk premium -- a measure of how richly stock investors are being compensated relative to bond investors. For most of the past 30 years, the equity risk premium has been negative. This is because stocks offer the potential for capital gains and have built-in inflation protection. Bonds don't.
But now that's changed, and bond yields are lower than equity yields. So it makes sense to borrow cheaply (via corporate bonds) and invest. After all, stocks haven't offered this kind of premium since 1980, when Kenny Rogers topped the charts and "The Empire Strikes Back" first hit theaters. By other measures, such as free cash flow yield versus corporate bond yields, stocks haven't been priced so attractively compared to bonds since the early 1960s.
Borrowing to invest
And borrowing to invest is exactly what the suits in the corporate suites are doing. Not in property, equipment or new workers (although this is slowly beginning to turn) but in stocks. During the third quarter, American companies spent $92 billion on stock buybacks -- a 71% increase from the previous quarter and the highest result since early 2008.
By reducing the number of shares outstanding, company executives provide a boost to the all-important earnings-per-share measure of a stock's value. And that makes the stocks of these companies instantly more valuable.
Merger and acquisition activity, or the buying of another company's stock, is also on the rise and is growing for the first time since 2007. Thomson Reuters reports that M&A grew nearly 20% this year to $2.3 trillion globally. As deal activity increases, an M&A "premium" gets priced into the market as everyone tries to anticipate where the next big deal will take place.
And we've already seen a number of big transactions. CenturyLink (CTL, news) bought Qwest Communications for $22 billion. Coca-Cola bought Coca-Cola Enterprises for $13 billion. And we've seen some big deal premiums. Burger King got taken out by a private equity firm back in September for a 46% premium to its pre-deal closing price. And just last week, Canadian bank BMO Financial (BMO, news) announced its intention to buy regional bank Marshall and Illsley (MI, news) for a 34% premium to its pre-deal stock price.
The key to success in 2011 will be identifying the sectors and stocks that are poised to benefit most from the rise in share repurchase and M&A activity -- or at least offer a more compelling investment proposition than bonds. For cautious investors taking their first steps back into stocks, here are a few defensive, high-yield ideas. For the risk takers, a collection of M&A/buyback ideas follows.

Michael Douglas and "The Brick"
Ever wondered what was the first cell phone to ever appear in a movie?
It was, of course, none other than "The Brick" held by Gordon Gekko, the character played by Michael Douglas in 1987′s Wall Street, one of my all-time personal favourite flicks.
|"Greed is good. Greed works."
Classic cell phone movie movement.
It was dubbed "The Brick" because of its large size and weight, but its real name is the DynaTac, one of the first widespread mobile phones manufactured by Motorola.
The first in its series, the 8000x, was the first cell phone ever to receive U.S. Federal Communications Commission acceptance in 1983. It weighed 28 ounces (793g) and was 10 inches (25 cm) high, not including the flexible "rubber duck" whip antenna.
Additionally, it allowed you talk for 30 minutes, took 10 hours to recharge, and could store thirty "dialing locations" in its memory. It cost $3,995 dollars at the time, but you can buy them now for a couple hundred dollars on eBay.
The much anticipated sequel Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps is set to release soon on September 24th. I'm looking forward to it for many reasons. The obvious ones aside (Michael!), it's to see which modern mobile phone he will upgrade to. And I'm pretty sure he's well due for a free handset upgrade by now.
Additionally, we will get to see the old "Brick" one more time with its cameo appearance in the beginning of the movie. It's one of the personal items returned to Gordon Gekko when he is finally released from jail. You can even catch a glimpse of it in the following trailer:
But according to IMDB, "it is unknown if the original phone is playing the role of Gekko's DynaTac in this film". Thanks for the heads' up.
So, what new phone will be featured in the next movie? Will he opt for an iPhone, a BlackBerry, or will he stick to Motorola and go Droid?
Stay tuned.

Cherry Vinegar
We are adding the recipe to your Recipe Box.
This was added to your Recipe Box.
Click here to view your Recipe Box.
Rinse, stem and crush the cherries listed above. Combine them with the vinegar in a sterilized, dry 2 quart jar of crock, being sure they are well covered; if not, add a little more vinegar. Cover the crock and leave the cherries to steep for a week to 10 days. Drain the vinegar from either batch of fruit. If you're making pickled cherries, proceed to step 4 of that recipe. (Optionally, instead of proceeding directly to the next step below, you may want to add to the strained off vinegar a second batch of fruit and steep it for 3 days, then drain off the vinegar to use here and proceed with the pickle recipe plus step 4 below.) Strain the vinegar through a fine sieve (no need to line it) into a stainless steel or enameled saucepan, pressing on the pulp to obtain all the liquid. Discard the debris in the strainer. Add the sugar to the vinegar and heat the mixture just to simmering over medium heat; simmer it, uncovered, for 3 minutes. Cool the vinegar. Skim off any foam and strain the vinegar into one or more sterilized, completely dry bottles. For ultraclear vinegar, before bottling, you may want to filter it through dampened filter paper fitted into a coffeemaker cone or a funnel. Cap or cork the bottles (use new corks only) and store in a cool spot out of the light. If sediment should form, it is harmless; it can be removed by filtering the vinegar again, or by decanting it.

Thomas Bindl does what I was hoping someone would do -- make a countdown clock for when Google's Matt Cutts is returning from his vacation, spotted via Threadwatch. I've seen a number of posts in various places suggesting that Google has been having its recent spam and indexing problems because Matt's finally taken a nice, long break. Bull. Matt's great, a huge resource to Google, but the problems going on seem far more fundamental than Matt being away. If they really are due to him being gone, then Google has even bigger issues to deal with. Still, plenty of us will be happy to see him return and jump back into the search conversation.

The highly anticipated octagon debut of former Strikeforce title holder Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza took place on Saturday night when he faced off against Chris Camozzi in the co-main event of UFC on FX 8. As you would expect, Souza easily stormed past Camozzi and made an immediate impression on the UFC fans. Souza needed just over three and a half minutes to secure the fight ending choke.
As soon as Jacare got the fight to the mat, he was able to dominate with his world class jiu jitsu. Once Jacare locked in the head-arm triangle, Camozzi was almost immediately unconscious.
The UFC stage wasn't too big and he is now a serious contender in the division.
Here are the full fight video highlights from Saturday night's UFC on FX 8 event (skip to the 1:40 mark to get right to the Jacare vs. Camozzi highlights):

Tim Tebow is not the only player getting praise out at Jets camp, and the one receiving the praise is RT Wayne Hunter. New offensive line coach Dave DeGuglielmo gushed about him today to Jenny Vrentas, about how Wayne is the starter as far as he is concerned:
"This guy is the starting right tackle," DeGugliemo said. "Until they tell me otherwise, until they ship him out of this building or until they shoot me dead in my office, that sonofagun is going to be the starting right tackle. And he's going to play well."
He went on to give some more detail as to what he likes about Hunter as a player:
"I see many, many more great things, and I see the upside, I see the movement skills, the explosiveness. Those are the things I see on film," DeGugliemo said. "How it all worked out? I don't know, but I know this much: the guy I have in that room right now, the guy that communicates with me is nothing like the guy — I did a little research before I took this job — nothing like the guy people explained that I would have. He is not introverted, he is not any of the things people say he is. He has a great personality, great energy, great desire and great skills. It looks like the makings of something great."
It is certainly good to hear the coach backing his players. Sparano has always liked Hunter, so maybe they see something we didn't last year. I certainly hope so.

The Real Cost Of The Alternative Office
With more and more people working outside the office, creating an effective mobile office is becoming increasingly important. Although not difficult, many items are often overlooked in the process.
You need to spend some time setting your office in order to conduct a more effective flow of work when you are working remotely. An alternative but as important when planning an alternative office, is that of the garden office.Affordable Insulated garden offices are becoming more and more important to people who choose to work from home. Sometimes looking for the cheap garden office, it must be better and highly recommended to afford the best garden office you can.
Consider where you will be using your installation of the alternative office first. Think about what you need when away from the office to work more effectively and plan accordingly.

- Wireless network card
- Portable storage device media
