'Kick-Ass 2': Second installment's a minor improvement ...
By James Rocchi, Special to MSN Movies
It's not especially difficult to suggest that "Kick-Ass 2," the sequel to 2010's 'Kick-Ass," improves on the original. That film, directed by Matthew Vaughn and based on Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.'s grungy, grisly, grim-and-gritty indie comic book of the same title, was a thoroughly tired film, fraught with four-letter words ladled with relish over the tropes and tales of four-color comics. This follow-up, directed and written by Jeff Wadlow, isn't as mean-spirited, violent or sneeringly contemptuous as "Kick-Ass" was and actually makes more than a few interesting points about its characters and its world. Which the first film decidedly did not.
"Kick-Ass 2" continues a few months after the events in "Kick-Ass" -- after teen comic-book fan Dave Lizewski (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) first leapt over several reasons not to in a single bound and became a costumed crimefighter and, considering his lack of any special skills, training or abilities, got his head handed to him by thugs and toughs faster than a speeding bullet. But after meeting the similarly-inspired but far better-prepared team of Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage doing a hilarious Adam West riff) and Hit Girl (Chloe Grace Moretz), Kick-Ass (Dave's superhero I.D.) actually did some good, even if it involved fighting his friend-turned-costumed-villain Chris D'Amico (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), killing Chris' gangster dad with a rocket launcher and the death of Big Daddy.
Bing: More about Chloe Grace Moretz | More on Aaron Taylor-Johnson
"Kick-Ass 2" is both cynically aware of what it is and idiotically clueless; early on, comic-book fan Dave notes "If I was ever thinking about a Kick-Ass sequel, I had to get serious ..." It's a slow, bloodshot post-modern wink -- but wouldn't a comics guy like Dave say "second series," "reboot," or "re-launch" instead of "sequel?" Dave starts training with Mindy -- aka Hit Girl -- but she's trying to fit in at high school, so she has problems of her own. Dave finds a similar group of citizen do-gooders -- such as Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey) and Battle Dude (Clark Duke) -- who patrol New York's mean streets. Chris, meanwhile, changes his name from Red Mist to something unprintable, wearing a mostly-black costume made out of his late mom's fetish gear, and recruits a group of like-minded nutjobs with names such as "Mother Russia" and "Genghis Carnage" that, as Chris's bodyguard and aide-de-camp Javier (a wasted John Leguizamo) points out, are a little racist; Chris defends them as 'archetypes.'
Making the film work are moments like that -- and the way Mindy, finally a normal teen, can't deal with a rush of hormones to her heart and head as easily as she can block and dodge a flurry of fists to her face. You can feel some intelligence and wit and commentary in "Kick-Ass 2," as Wadlow is able to put a little thought into Millar's tedious, shallow sketches of violence and cynicism. Of course, this being an American summer action film, "Kick-Ass 2" slumps and stoops into the action-filled, thought-free 'big finish' mandated for these sorts of films these days and has to forget how smart it was; the end of "Kick-Ass 2" is both weary and wearying in equal measure.
As for our actors, Taylor-Johnson is as inert and lifeless as ever; he occasionally apes Tobey McGuire's mumbly Peter Parker line delivery to comedic effect, but he's hard to care about. (At least, this time, Kick-Ass doesn't disappear from his own movie for 40 minutes like he did in the first.) Moretz is still the finest young American actress who apparently has no idea how to read a script. While she's still charming and effervescent and eager, her being good in very bad movies is starting to look less like an accident and more like a disconcerting trend. There's blood and guts and curses and cuts, and while it's still broad and boring and badly shot, it's still much better than the sleazy, lazy film that came before. The final moments of "Kick-Ass 2" make it clear that if audiences want more, they can have it; what the entirety of "Kick-Ass 2" fails to make clear is why audiences would want more of this franchise's unfunny comedy, low-to-no-brow cultural "commentary" and sloppy, sweary fight scenes.

If you thought the Avengers USB sticks were cool, check out this night light, the glowing Thor Night Light.
I'm not quite sure how it's "installed", but the pics on the product page would have you believe that it easily embeds in your wall. I think not, and in fact my best guess is that it will hang, much like a picture, on your kid's wall. Unless of course you've got a penchant for construction, which will involve cutting a hole and drywalling.
Despite the light source being LED, you'll only get .1 years from each battery, which by my calculations is less than a month of nightlight goodness on a single charge. So you best have a two sets of 3 AA rechargeables ready to cycle.
That being said, there is also a Captain America, Hulk, and Iron Man version, all of which look equally compelling. Cost? $27.

"Breakfast is the only meal of the day that I tend to view with the same kind of traditionalized reverence that most people associate with Lunch and Dinner. I like to eat breakfast alone, and almost never before noon; anybody with a terminally jangled lifestyle needs at least one psychic anchor every twenty-four hours, and mine is breakfast. In Hong Kong, Dallas or at home — and regardless of whether or not I have been to bed — breakfast is a personal ritual that can only be properly observed alone, and in a spirit of genuine excess. The food factor should always be massive: four Bloody Marys, two grapefruits, a pot of coffee, Rangoon crepes, a half-pound of either sausage, bacon, or corned beef hash with diced chiles, a Spanish omelette or eggs Benedict, a quart of milk, a chopped lemon for random seasoning, and something like a slice of Key lime pie, two margaritas, and six lines of the best cocaine for dessert…. Right, and there should also be two or three newspapers, all mail and messages, a telephone, a notebook for planning the next twenty-four hours and at least one source of good music…. All of which should be dealt with outside, in the warmth of a hot sun, and preferably stone naked."

In a recent FCW article on growing demand for data scientists a reader wrote:
This goes in the 'duh' column. It was a team of talented (some greatly so, some not so great because we are all humans) that got us to the moon and all returned safely. The problem always has been those at the top trying to make a name for themselves don't understand the concept of a team effort. Too much TV where one guy (The Mentalist) solves the problem and all around him are his minions. No understanding of team at all.
Frank Konkel responds: As a profession, data scientists are relatively new in the IT world. As the profession develops, it's likely we'll see more talented, curious individuals coming up with insightful ways to approach the massive stacks of data already piling up in government and private sector, and it is highly likely they'll be integral members of teams. We've already seen successes from these teams – the Central Intelligence Agency, for example – yet don't doubt the importance of sometimes singularly insightful individuals.
I'm not saying some Albert Einstein-like data ninja who eats stovepipes of data for breakfast and spits out revolutionary tidbits that save mankind is going to come along, but given the relative newness of this field, isn't it possible that a few unique individuals might make major impacts in either results or policy-driven initiatives? Kirit Amin, deputy chief information officer and chief technology officer of the U.S. Department of Commerce, said as much recently, suggesting a few "big data Yodas" in government might blaze a big data path for the rest of the sector to follow
Teams are great, but don't forget, individuals can be too.

GeForce GTX 760 SLI review -
GeForce GTX 760 2-way SLI Tested
Today we'll have a look at the all known denominator, SLI performance. We review the GeForce GTX 760 in 2-way SLI, next to our default FPS benchmarks we do FCAT Frametime measurements as well. As always, over the next few pages we'll tell you a bit about multi-GPU gaming, the challenges, the requirements and of course we'll have a nice tasty benchmark session with the latest games. We'll have a peek at temperatures and power consumption of the GeForce GTX 760 cards in 2-way SLI mode to monitor their generated performance. Before I continue with the introduction, due to the number of cards and sheer amount of stuff we have to talk about, as always, we have split up the GeForce GTX 760 related content in two separate articles, otherwise we'd end up with one 50+ page article.
In this article we'll be looking at 2-way SLI from a single monitor point of view, so ideally either 1920x1200 or 2560x1440/1600 is the monitor you have to be able to compare to what SLI would do for you on your setup. You will notice great performance increases with 2-way SLI, truthfully with so much horsepower, it's a hard thing to accomplish if you do not have the right PC. With that in the back of our mind we created a second segment in this article.
So if your wallet allows you to, you can quite easily double up that GPU shader processor count and thus performance with the help of NVIDIA's SLI technology. Let's say that you pick two 249 EUR GeForce GTX 760 cards with 2 Gigs of memory each. Doubled up in SLI two of these puppies would bring seriously more performance to the table making it compete with even the GeForce GTX Titan. Yeah, Multi-GPU gaming has grown to become more popular over the past few year thanks to NVIDIA's SLI solutions initially, and obviously later on when ATI CrossfireX joined that path as well. Over the next few pages we'll tell you a bit about multi-GPU gaming, the challenges, the requirements and of course there'll be a nice tasty benchmark session. We'll have a peek at temperatures and power consumption of the GeForce 760 cards in 2x SLI mode to monitor their generated performance and look at multi-GPU handicaps.
Have a peek at the products being tested today, the GeForce GTX 760. And then let's start up this article.
In this review we take the Palit GeForce GTX 750 Ti KalmX. Palit's offering is the most slinet of them all, as it uses passive cooling. That's right, just a big heatsink is being used. The KalmX ru...

Celebrity Fashion: MIRANDA KERR Looks Hot In Stella McCartney At The "My Valentine" Premiere
MIRANDA KERR looked hot in a Stella McCartney dress at the "My Valentine" premiere on Friday.
It's no surprise, really. Miranda is always hot.
The Victoria's Secret supermodel flaunted her extremely toned bod in a black Stella McCartney creation, which featured mesh panels on the bodice and torso, as well as a daring middle split.
Miranda accessorized with black pumps and a gold and black clutch and she finished the look with a slicked-back updo and red lips.
Would have loved more color. And maybe she should have kept her hair down and styled them in sexy, voluminous curls to help frame her pretty face… because honestly, she looks a bit weird with her hair pulled back like that.

Ie: let's say physicist wants to set up an experiment.
He is in the train and attaches flashlights in the front and back of the train. They are timed to go on at the EXACT SAME TIME. The physicist knows this and waits. Then he sees the front light before he can see the back light.
This is not correct. This physicist on the moving train will see the two flashes at the same time (assuming he's in the middle of the train). But a physicist on the ground will see the two flashes at different times. Which one is right?
And if the physicist on the ground set up a similar experiment, he would see both flashes at the same time while the physicist on the moving train would see them at different times. Which one is right? Does that make any difference to your understanding of Eisntein's traig experiment.

SINGAPORE--UBS AG (UBSN.VX, UBS) has named Sufyan Abdul Jabbar, a director with CIMB Group Holdings Bhd. (1023.KU), to head the Swiss bank's investment banking team in Malaysia, an internal note seen by The Wall Street Journal said Friday.
The appointment of Mr. Sufyan comes as UBS looks to bulk up its presence in Malaysia, which is seeing increased deal activity.
CIMB is Malaysia's second-largest bank by assets.
Last year, Malaysia topped the charts in Southeast Asia in terms of fundraising via initial public offerings, which were worth close to US$12 billion.
Although Malaysia has been slow this year compared to others in the region because of elections held in May, the IPO market has picked up, with deals worth close to US$2 billion already executed.
According to data by Dealogic, Southeast Asia equity capital market volume year to date is up 6% at US$27.8 billion, with UBS leading the chart with a 15% market share. Credit Suisse AG and CIMB are ranked second and third with a market share of 9.7% and 6.8%, respectively.
UBS said Mr. Sufyan's appointment takes effect Jan. 2.

What is the number ofthe gas valve from White Rodgers?
Many times you can use an White Rodgers Cycle Pilot system as a retrofit, the catalog number from White Rodgers is under 21D18-3 which is a 3/4" x 3/4" gas valve which handles up to 335,000 BTU's.

Yes that retrofit will workas long as the installer is experienced in doing this type of thing. It is about a 2 hour job complete along with removing the pilot and cleaning the pilot and installing the relight kit, mercury sensor and the gas valve, plus the wiring required. You are replacing one mercury pilot systems with another. If one supply house does not have the retrofit try another one or get in touch with White Rodgers at Whole Sale Order Department 314-577-5252

still having problemsI've called white rodgers they say they don't have a cross reference for the valve. I have called columbia the maker of the burner and boiler and they gave me a honeywell part # that the installers say won't work. I've had more than one installer over and no one thinks it can be fixed. They all want to replace the boiler for $4k. The gas company said they could do it for $900. The gas co is the most expensive route to go for service and they won't guarentee anything. I've given the installers the retrofit kit part number but they tell me it won't work. I'm not sure they know how to fix it. They go to the local supply houses and get told there is nothing to replace that valve with.
Any suggestions?

Honeywell replacementWhat is the part number of the Honeywell valve that Columbia recommended as a replacement?
If you can retrofit a modern Honeywell valve with standing pilot and thermocouple, you would probably be better off, provided you can find someone qualified to do the conversion.

VR8300That's the latest style standing pilot valve, used in modern equipment, but it is not a direct replacement. You would have to change the pilot burner and replace it with a Honeywell pilot burner and thermocouple. But once you did the conversion you would have a boiler that any technician could repair for years to come with commonly available parts.
Who knows how long White Rodgers will continue to make the mercury pilot parts. If you are going to spend the money to fix your boiler, I think you are better off spending it upgrading to the Honeywell valve and have a trouble free, easily repaired burner system.
Where are you located? Maybe Tim can recommend someone familiar with the conversion near you.

Have yourcontractor install the Honeywell VR8300A gas valve and change the pilot to a thermocouple. Make sure the contractor knows how to do a pilot safety turn-down test when completed. I would also have them check the gas pressure inlet and outlet and also clock the burner to insure correct input. If the contractor is vague about how to do this have him call me at 401-437-0557 and I will walk him through the process.

Need Thermocouple that fits the 25G53 Whites and Rogers Gas valveI need thermocouple that fits the 25G53 Whites and Rogers Gas valve, any idea if they still make it and where I can get it.
It has 3 or 4 prongs on it that fit into the gas valve like a plug into a socket and then it has the thermocouple to on side and a red switch to press to relight the pilot.
I just put it all back together and got the pilot to light and stay on so I don't want to pull it apart again yet to look at part #. About 3rd or 4th time I lost my pilot light this winter.

That is not athermocouple it is a mercury pilot system. The fact that you get it to work and then it fails tells me the three prong switch/plug in and the mercury sensor are probably okay. You need to have someone pull the pilot ( a professional) and clean the orifice before you invest any money for parts. What are the numbers on the plug in part itself? White Rodgers still has some of those listed in their catalog. Get me the number and I may be able to cross reference it for you.

Wasn't there a resistor you could mount under the auto pilot to bypass a troublesome pressure switch internally in the valve? Wonder if thats whats going on.

Yes there wassuch a resistor. The reason for the resistor was a faulty pressure switch on the valves right from the factory. So without the resistor it would have never worked, This is not the same White Rodgers gas valve series it is older than that Cycle Pilot series. We never allowed the resistor to be used here in RI as we found if the system was rapid cycled such as turning the power switch of and on the equipment would delay on ignition. All the resistor really was is a resistive "jumper" it was really unsafe. We had White Rodgers send us all new valves with a beefed up pressure switch rather than use the resistors

So……you are the pseudo Sadhana……Am I right Meena !! Awesome voice and nice flow in your singing !! I believe you were unsure with the note in "Nagam Padavillaye" and "Udal Thadaiyillaiye". Sounded slightly off in those two places. However, You were spot on with sruthi for the same lines in humming in the end.

Local boy Martyn Elwyn Williams came up through the ranks of Pontypridd Youth, to make his senior debut for the club in 1994.
Despite stiff opposition for the openside flanker's berth from seasoned campaigners such as Richie Collins and Phil Thomas, young Martyn soon became a regular choice with his good support skills and foray work from the base of the scrum.
Having gained international honours at all levels through Youth, Schools, Student and under 21 level with Wales, Martyn won his first senior cap as a Ponty player against the Barbarians in 1996.
A move to Cardiff in 1999 was followed by further senior international honours for Wales, whom he captained, and selection for the British & Irish Lions tours of Australia in 2001, New Zealand in 2005 and South Africa in 2009.

Indiana Supreme Court Justice Frank Sullivan, Jr., has been appointed to the faculty of the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law, Dean Gary R. Roberts announced Monday. Sullivan's appointment takes effect at the start of the Fall Semester.
"Having Frank Sullivan join our faculty is an exciting and extraordinary opportunity to bring in someone with a great mind and academic temperament to teach our students both theory and practice and to add to our scholarly culture," said Dean Roberts. "At the same time Justice (soon to be Professor) Sullivan can connect the school more firmly with the practicing bar and bench through his extraordinary reputation and his extensive experience as a practicing lawyer, state budget director and Supreme Court justice. This is truly a unique and special hire for the IU McKinney School of Law."
"I am honored to join the faculty at the Indiana University McKinney School of Law," Sullivan said. "I have long admired the faculty of the law school and its commitment to the school's students and to community service. I very much hope I can make my own contributions in those regards."
Sullivan served as an Adjunct Professor of Law at the school of law from 2007-2009, teaching a class in public finance law. Dean Roberts said that he expects Sullivan to teach classes in business law and corporate finance. Sullivan said that he will continue to serve as a member of the Court until near the start of the fall semester at the law school. He said he will notify the Clerk of the Court and the Judicial Nominating Commission as soon as a definite date for his departure from the Court is determined.
Sullivan has been a member of the Indiana Supreme Court since 1993 when he was appointed by former Governor Evan Bayh. During his tenure on the Court, he has authored approximately 500 majority opinions addressing a wide range of criminal, civil, and tax law issues. Several of his decisions have been selected for publication in law school casebooks.
Prior to his appointment to the Court, Sullivan served as State Budget Director (1989-1992) and Executive Assistant for Fiscal Policy to Governor Bayh (1993) during which time he directed the preparation of the Bayh administration's budget proposals and oversaw implementation of state budgets passed by the Legislature. Prior to state service, he practiced corporate finance and securities law in the Indianapolis office of Barnes & Thornburg, Indiana's largest law firm. Sullivan served on the staff of former U.S. Rep. John Brademas from 1974 to 1979, ultimately assuming the position of staff director.
Sullivan has been active in national judicial and law reform organizations. He is a past chair of the ABA Appellate Judges Conference and the Appellate Judges Education Institute Board of Directors. He has been a leader of the ABA's Judicial Clerkship Program that encourages minority law students to seek judicial clerkships and is the recipient of several awards for advancing opportunities for minority lawyers in the legal profession. And he is a member of the American Law Institute and has been selected as an Adviser to two of its Projects: "Restatement Third, Torts: Liability for Economic Harm" and "Principles of Election Law: Resolution of Election Disputes."
Sullivan graduated from Dartmouth College (A.B., cum laude, 1972) and the Indiana University Maurer School of Law—Bloomington (J.D., magna cum laude, 1982; Order of the Coif). He also holds an LL.M. from the University of Virginia School of Law (2001). He is married to Cheryl G. Sullivan; they are the parents of three adult sons. An avid runner, Sullivan has qualified for and competed in the Boston Marathon three times in the last decade.

Is this even an Olympics or is it just the whole world passive aggressively protesting Russia's Anti-LGBT+ laws
except nobody is fucking protesting at all? what has anyone actually done to signify a protest? germany wearing colorful outfits…
In my opinion. Going to the games and making it about the sport instead of politics is like saying sports mean more than the rights of LGBTQ. I hate that there aren't people showing support to the poor Russian LGBTQ people suffering in silence, in fear of being arrested for speaking out for them. I don't understand why people think we must "respect the laws of the country" when the laws of the country are bullshit and take away human rights. Not to mention the shit ton of people under paid for the Olympics, who lost there homes and giving little to no compensation, and so many more violations of people's rights.
(Source: team-magma-ruby, via nirakerys)
Gay rights video for the Sochi Olympic Games and the Anti-Propaganda Law! Its hilarious and my friend Aaron Sax is in it! Check it Out. Quite Funny!
I am in love. I am in love with someone who happens to be of the same gender that I am. And for a lot of people, in today's world, this isn't such a big deal. However to some, it is. I am lucky enough to live in Canada, where same-sex marriage is legal across the board, however legal does not mean accepted. Stephen (my loving boyfriend of 2.5 years or so) and I will go out somewhere, whether it be on a date or just out somewhere as simple as grocery shopping, and in the back of my mind is always the fear of what others will say, what they will do, how they will act towards something as simple as the two of us being in love. I am someone who is fine with who I am, and isn't afraid to tell the world that I am gay, however it still scares me because I have seen and personally had to deal with those people who so ignorant and hateful that they don't realize who they're hurting.
Like I said, here in Canada we're lucky enough to be able to marry the person we love and be recognized as a legitimate couple, same rights as heterosexual couples, etc. etc. There are still some bumps to work out, but we are much better off than many people in the United States. Many argue that this election is a battle for equality, and it's true. Not just for gay couples, but for the rest of the LGBT community, for women, for anyone who isn't a rich white man name who's name is something you wear on you hands to keep warm in the winter. This election is about making the right steps towards equality for those people who have always had to fight to be heard, for those people like myself who have dealt with physical and emotional abuse from the world around them just because they are "different". It's an election about allowing women to have rights and choices involving their own bodies. About letting people who love each-other celebrate with the people around them, and to have that loving commitment they are willing to make acknowledged.
Clearly, my "vote" (which is non-existent in this election being a Canadian) would be for Obama. And honestly, I hope those who have the chance to vote DO vote, and I hope they make the right decision. Stephen and I are watching the election results as they come in, and I'm not sure what's going to happen, but I know that Mitt Romney becoming president isn't something that should happen, and would be a step in the wrong direction towards the fight for equality.
I am in love. I believe in equality for everyone, no matter what "difference" the world has thrown at them.
If you can and you haven't and you still have time to, GO VOTE.
"I'll put one foot in front of the other.I don't need a new love, or a new life." -Fun.
I love you chris. Everyone should read this because its amazingly written and so true.

Thanks Taylor Timmermans for this. If you don't think its a worthy cause to boycott chick-fil-a, check out the pictures from Eat Chick-fil-a day. This infuriates me. These are snap shots from different people at different packed chick-fil-a's with lines around and down the street. If the competition to gay marriage is doing this, then we have to show our support.
YES. Okay. SO. recently I am so fed up with people doing this. Sure, the chick-fil-a guy is allowed to voice his opinion but so am I and I can do so by boycotting companies I do not agree with. I do this because of days like "support chick-fil-a day" where thousands of homophobic people went to the store to help them support the fight for one man, one woman, marriage. I would bargain that their views on transgender people is even worse. I know they just sell chicken, but all of those events against equality need someone to fund them and chick-fil-a does.
Its not just that though. If I was to go into a chick-fil-a, I would not feel safe. I would feel like I was being judged for who I am, so why would I want to go?
Seriously though, telling me I am not entitled to boycott is hypocrisy because of all the boycotts happening with other giant companies supporting gay marriage by those who appose. Also by telling me my opinion to dislike his opinion, you are doing what you are telling me not to do. You are saying I shouldn't be allowed to voice my opinion.
I want homophobic people to say things like this company did, then I know who I should support and who I shouldn't. I don't want to be paying for my discrimination.
Boycotting and speaking out about chick-fil-a is helping a message get to people who think homophobia isn't a big deal. To this day people are being discriminated, hurt and killed because of their sexuality. Be it, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or any other branch of the LGBT, homophobia needs to stop and I will not stop fighting until I know that LGBT people are free to love around the world.
Thank you for reading if you did.

Vancouver Canucks general manager Mike Gillis says that the team is still planning to interview four or five more candidates for its head coaching position.
Speaking on Vancouver's TEAM1040 radio on Friday, Gillis confirmed that former Dallas Stars head coach Glen Gulutzan and Toronto Marlies head coach Dallas Eakins have already interviewed for the vacancy. TSN's Darren Dreger reported last week that former Columbus Blue Jackets head coach Scott Arniel was also among the candidates who were believed to be scheduled for an interview.
Gillis did not disclose who else is under consideration for the posting.
"I think this is a great opportunity for us to change direction and I want to speak to everybody and hear their views about what they feel we need and how they could contribute to the Vancouver Canucks," Gillis told the TEAM1040. "It's an interesting process, and it's an opportunity to learn a lot about people that are good quality coaches."
Gillis also said that there is no timeframe for hiring a new head coach, and the team will take its time to speak to all of its candidates.
The Canucks' general manager did say though that he believed that a new coach will be in place prior to the July 5 opening of the free agency period.
Gillis also characterized the June 30 NHL Draft as "strong" and said the Canucks would be interested in trading up from their 24th pick if the opportunity presented itself.
"I think (the Draft) is going to be busy," said Gillis. "There's going to be a lot of jockeying around - I think there's going to be some trades (around the league), but again you never know how busy it's going to be."

Smith Optics Tenet
For our inaugural post, we're going with something that we're freaks about—sunglasses. Smith Optics Tenet sunglasses are the newest in the Techlite collection. It's almost summertime and everyone should have a new pair of polarized sunglasses for summer barbeques and beer drinking. You can't go wrong with tortoise shell frames green lenses—a personal favorite.

A Long Hallway Transformed
Sunset Magazine
Hallways create connections throughout a home, but sometimes that same means of connectivity can create lots of separation. Homeowners Bill Welch and Maren Christensen saw that very problem in their ranch home. Through a renovation, they were able to make 3 changes that completely transformed their space. See the new space after the jump.
With the help of architect Mark Pearcy, the transformation comprised of three major changes: the removal of unnecessary walls, the addition of new skylights and the use of a large cabinet as a room divider. The kitchen, dining and living areas are now all linked and bathed in light creating a truly "great room."
To read more about the renovation, visit Sunset Magazine: Hall without walls.

A great transformation! Long dark hallways can be so uninviting and this really opened up the entrance!
The Designer Insider
Def a great, necessary change. I don't think anyone ever 'liked' the old style... it was just considered normal, so why should a tract home architect bother changing it? Love the beams... probably not the easiest fix on the wallet though... would love to see AT actually include budgets of these massive overhauls every once in a while...
I wonder if hallways were the norm in the past partly because that allowed each room to be closed off separately for control of heating and cooling? Open floor plans call for a different strategy of energy use. (Like extra insulation!!)
this is where i want to just scream at the people responsible for the original design. Victorian homes had a lot of segregation but also generosity, but this is baffling to place the kitchen, living, and dining closed off and accessed through a hall way in the same way you might see a hall with bedrooms, bathroom, and laundry room. The transformation is divine, really ideal to take down unnecessary walls and add a sky light! to think that the before and after may represent in some way what goes on in people's minds, the first is stupid and the second is a picture of awareness
@SHerryBinNH: you hit the nail on the head, so to speak: in older homes, it made sense to have closed off rooms so you could close off vents in unused rooms, heating only those you were using at the time.
Also, if you notice what appears to be extensive use of glu-lam beams and colums in the "After" photo: long spans of wood are expensive, even with new technology, but they're more easily accomplished now that we have glu-lam and engineered wood joists. Smaller rooms = smaller spans = cheaper to build for trac homes.
Useful and beautiful.
Nice redo, but what about a solution for us renters? I would love some suggestions on how to transform, my very LONG dark Victorian hallway. Help!
Very nice redo, but like kovocked I was looking for suggestions in places you can't knock down walls?
This looks good, but the title is misleading - it's not a hallway "transformed" so much as a hallway "eradicated". Which is quite different.
I love this. I have the same long hall.
However as a Northeastener I do have to use zoning for heat and air. I recently knocked down some walls to create a big open space- but that was in one zone. I was able to put in a very large window at the end of the hall tho' which lightens it up considerably.
My dining room off the hall has a small door, but I am planning to put in a large french door there in my next phase. I can open it for parties etc- and close it to keep in the heat etc.
GREAT transformation! http://www.namesonthejerseyshore.com
I have a long hallway from my entryway that eventually splits leading into the kitchen to the right & the bedroom straight ahead. I have a very large antique quilt hanging from one wall to add visual interest, and an oriental runner on the floor to provide warmth both visually and underfoot. I like using the quilt as hanging art because it fills up a lot of space. The hallway is sort of a useless place to display really interesting fabulous art, as no one hangs out in the hallway for too long.
Fabulous transformation - it's hard to believe it's the same place. It's not mentioned, but the change in flooring is key - it pulls the space together instead of chopping it up like it was before, and it's light tone contributes to the airiness of the "After".
I don't know about ranch-styles, but certainly for older homes like Victorians, anther reason for all the hallways and separate rooms (in addition to heating efficiency) was lifestyle. An open floorplan would have been antithetical to their much more formal customs; rooms were supposed to be used for pretty much one purpose only (dining room for dining, sitting room for entertaining, library for reading, etc.).

A seasonal Target employee was arrested for embezzlement this month, according to Dearborn police reports.
Police were called to the Dearborn Target store on Dec. 18 after a Loss Prevention officer at the store said he saw an employee stealing from the store. The officer told police that on Dec. 16, he saw the employee in question steal a $100 bill from his register.
An audit of that register later revealed that $100 was unaccounted for.
Later that day, the same employee was observed hiding a Red Wings hat in his shirt and exiting the store.
On Dec. 18, the same employee was observed taking a box of Cheez-Its and a bottle of Mountain Dew, then consuming both without paying for them.
At that point, the officer took the employee into his office and called police, who arrested the employee and charged him with embezzlement of $124 in cash and merchandise.

Number of ratings 26 / Average Grade: N/A Submit a correction
Best math class ever! I learned so much but had to work really hard. If you are serious about learning the material, take Smolko and you won't be disappointed!
I took the summer course and it was probably the worst academic experience of my life. Smolko definitely has the idea in his head that everyone taking the summer class is just looking for an easy credit. This obviously isn't true. He grades unfairly. Plan on putting in about 3 hours of studying a day to even pass. AVOID HIS CLASS. Take Armstrong.
Smolko has extremely high standards and doesn't lower them for any reason. But if you're a math major or going into engineering you will come out of the class knowing the material inside and out. Be prepared to work REALLY hard. He's got some safety nets worked into the class, but you have to WORK. If your skills are shaky, save your time and $$.
I took his calculus 1 summer course. Trust me, if you do all of your work and study, you'll be fine. One of the best math professors I've had. I needed a 100% on the final exam to get an A for the term. I honestly don't think I got that. But when I checked my grade, I recieved an A. If you show him that you care, you'll get the grade you deserve.
Smolko is the master of Calculus. He gives out better definitions than are in the book, and makes sure every student knows them. First time I was ever challenged in a math class, and I learned much more then I thought possible. He pushes you to do the absolute best, and I have done fantastic in my math classes since
I took his calc 2 summer class and it was the hardest class i've ever been in. The amount of information is far too much for the time period. He expects you to know everything as well as he does. grades very hard. i have no idea how i passed. DO NOT TAKE HIS SUMMER COURSE!
He is a great professor!! He teaches in a way that everyone can learn from. He gives countless examples of each problem and is always willing to come early to class or stay after to help you. He give A LOT of homework but like he says, math is a skills class. You have to practice it in order to understand and become good at it!
this teacher's goal is to fail everyone. my class started with about 20 and by the end there was 8. This teacher thinks he knows everything but just does problems on the boards and keeps telling you things that aren't in this class but will be for the future. Grades tests impossible. Took this class before got high B, with him C. Don't Take Him.
This guy is the worst teacher. He solves example problems on the board with out explaining what he is doing. He takes deducts points from quizes for incomplete sentences, who ever heard of being quized on defenitions in math? If you are taking math at Lakeland take Armstrong.
He is one of the clearest calc teachers I've meet. I will use those notes for the rest of my college career. However his standards is ridiculous. Even if you copy off the board onto his test he would take off points. Also you MUST do the homework and study.
I took him for the entire calculus track. He is the best teacher I ever had, and after his classes i decided to major in Mathematics. If you take one of his classes you better be willing to work! The information he offers in invaluable! Take good notes, you wont hear this stuff from any other teacher! I spent about 4 hours studying per meeting
This teacher makes you feellike a unintelligent. When ever you ask a question he gives a rhetorical question back. My summer class started with 27 kids and now half way though there is only 7 of us left.Do every thing in your power so you dont have this guy. The worst part is you dont use book, he make his own math laws and language for them.
If you want to actually learn something, this is the teacher to have!
Very fast paced and prof is nice guy,do not recmd to those who have been out of school for over 1 year. Found class terribly hard, even doing every single hw problem and had tutor. Have found great success now with other instructors.
I've seen some people say that he's really hard, which may be true for the upper level maths - but for beginning algebra he's phenomenal. He knows his stuff, and has a way of presenting material that makes it clear and easy to understand. I'd take any class he teaches any day.
VERY DIFFICULT. Expect to study a few hours per night for him. Tests are harder than the material/homework he assigns, and he even admits this bc he says tests should challenge you. Agreed, but if you cant handle it, take Armstrong. Also, 20 people start the class and by the end usually only 4-6 people havent dropped it. DONT TAKE DURING SUMMER!!!!
calc 2
He was willing to help...but class moved really fast and if you want to do good...dont fall asleep like i did in the very front of the room...i think he knew when i was sleeping. sadly he was my only C at lakeland...but i was happy to pass
grades the class as though everyone is a math major, which makes for ridiculous test scores. teaches fast, which can be hard sometimes. HE answers questions with more questions. can be very frustrating. unless you love math and are very good at it, say no to smolko.
I really like this teacher.He has a sense of humor and is willing to give you all the help you need.He doesn't even mind if you call him at home at 3 in the morning, although he would prefer that you didn't.He's a great teacher,but he can go a little fast sometimes and he makes you know everything and I mean everything.If your interested in math an
