Welcome to Pacers Digest! New around here? Here are three tips for making the forum a great place to talk about Pacers basketball.
- Log in. Even if you want to read instead of post, it's helpful because it lets you:
- Change your signature options. You can hide all signatures by choosing "Settings" (top right) then "General Settings" (middle left) and unchecking the box "Show Signatures" (in the "Thread Display Options" area).
- Create an ignore list. I know it may seem unneighborly. But you're here to talk about the Pacers, not argue with someone who's just looking for an argument. Most of the regular users on here make use (at least occasionally) of the "Ignore" feature. Just go to "Settings" -> "Edit Ignore List" and add the names.
Enjoy your time at PD!
You have to be careful about those awesome deals on big TVs. Many times that name brand TV thats hundreds below what you expect it to be is that low because they have actually left out certain features or hardware. It might be a 1080p TV but with a really low contrast ratio, or it lacks various connections. You can usually tell is a special black friday version if the model number is one digit or letter off from the same TV on the manufactures website.
You can't get champagne from a garden hose.
Yeah...I'm looking to get a new LED TV for the house. I know that there maybe some huge deals this weekend...but I'm gonna have to do my research before I get one.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Title: He ate us - part 1
Date: June 20, 2008
Summary: Beaver and Steve discover James Turner's lair, inside awaits a rather cold surprise
Cast: BEAVER, STEVE, JAMES TURNER, (THREE SUPER ANIMAL ADVENTURE SQUAD CHARACTERS)
Onomatopoeias used: "NOK", "CREEEEAK", "TUG!", "FLOMP!", "NOD", "SHUF", "WOOP", "CLANK!", "FWOOSH!", "WHIR!", "FROZEN!"
Number of panels: 12
Panel 1
Beaver knocks at the door to James Turner's lair with a 'NOK NOK'-sound, the door reading:
'The lair of James Turner
creator and dictator of Beaver and Steve'
Beaver looks at Steve and says: "Now remember, Steve, try to be on your best behaviour."
Panel 2
The door opens with a "CREEEEAK!"
Beaver: "Hello? We noticed there was no comic last week and we just wanted to check that you were ..."
Panel 3
James Turner is about to pour tea from a flowered teapot into the teacup of a feline character, him and three other characters present in the room staring at Beaver and Steve somewhat surprised of seeing them.
Beaver: "Oh, sorry, I didn't realise you had company..."
Beaver: "A-Are those ... new characters ...?"
Panel 4
James Turner pulls a hanging rope with a "TUG!" making a curtain fall down covering but the feet of one of the characters.
James Turner: "Oh no no, of course not. You know you're the only characters I need. They were, uh, Jehovas Witnesses."
Beaver: "I see."
James Turner: "Now, what was it you wanted to see me about?"
Panel 5
James Turner has now equipped his pipe, thoughtfully listening to Beaver, adding in an occasional "NOD".
Beaver: "Well you see, we've been a little concerned about how busy you've been lately, and we were worried you ..."
Panel 6
Steve abruptly interrupts, grabbing James by his robe.
Steve: "You're not going to put us on hiatus are you!? I won't go back I tell you! I won't go back!"
Panel 7
Steve has let go of James, who is now straightening up his robe.
James Turner: "Oh goodness me no, whatever gave you that idea? I'd never put you on hiatus!"
Beaver: "Oh that is a relief!"
Steve: "It's so cold in there.."
Panel 8
A black X is visible on the floor.
James Turner: "Which reminds me - would you mind standing a little to the right?"
Beaver: "Oh, of course!"
Panel 9
Beaver and Steve are now standing on the black X, moving there with a "SHUF"
James Turner is holding a device with a button.
James Turner: "Thank you."
Panel 10
James Turner presses the button on the device, and a strange device comes out of a recently opened hatch in the roof, the device being labeled "HIAT-O-TRON". The device makes several "WOOP" "CLANK!" and "WHIR!" noises.
Beaver: "Oh my."
James Turner: "It was 'ice' knowing you."
Panel 11
The device shoots a liquid-like substance down on Beaver and Steve with a "FWOOSH!" sound.
Steve: "Aaaah"
Beaver: "Aiiee!"
James Turner: "Splendid!"
Panel 12
Beaver and Steve are stuck inside an ice cube with a despaired look in their faces.
"Will our heroes ever be defrosted from their indefinite hiatus? Will their creator ever learn the error of his villainous ways? Find out in the next thrilling episode! ...
Fun Facts
- The two characters in the lair are from the Super Animal Adventure Squad comic
- Though debatable if considered "fun", this comic confirms that Beaver and Steve are now on indefinite hiatus.

Great stuff.
Particularly looking forward to the new Nimbus remix and the reworked In Yer Face, as well as the new tracks. I hope Plan 9 is the one that was played on the radio at the time, which is why I bought every edition of Plan 9 in the hope of finding it, but never could.
Psssst only £6.99 on play.com
Psssst, doing some daft googling, didn't realise 808s 'Techno Bell' was released on an album also called Blueprint, way back when http://thesoundtripper.com/category/808-state/

Originating from Gainesville, FL, Sister Hazel is comprised of five gifted, seasoned musicians whose well-spring of natural talent has been called "one of the Top 100 Most Influential Independent Performers of the last 15 years" by Performing Songwriter Magazine.
In the 20+ years that they have been recording and performing as a band, they have accomplished something that for most artists is only a dream: they have built a career with a solid foundation, seemingly impenetrable by the shifting sands of the record industry and the economy.
For much of the last decade, Sister Hazel has built an empire of 'Hazelnuts' through savvy marketing, hard work and plain-old, undeniable talent.
From a musical perspective, the band has always had the same approach to the creative process. The engine that drives them is based on the fundamental principles that attracted the attention of a major label, garnered hit singles on the radio and endeared them to a legion of avid fans: well-crafted, hook-infused songs complimented by solid instrumentation and lush harmony vocals.
All fans will have access to the field for this show.
Known for energetic live shows, Steve Aoki is a DJ, record producer and philanthropist.

In 2014, Aoki released the first part of his two-part album Neon Future I. Millions of fans worldwide instantly responded to its wondrous and wild cross-section of genres. The album catapulted to #1 on Billboard's Dance/Electronic Albums Chart. The single, "Delirious (Boneless)" with Chris Lake and Tujamo featuring Kid Ink, achieved gold status as certified by the RIAA. His new album, Neon Future II will be in stores May 12 and features singles: "Darker Than Blood" with Linkin Park and "I Love It When You Cry" with Moxie.

From the moment that Newt Gingrich arrived in the House of Representatives in 1979, he was overflowing with ideas. Pudgy, prolix, and prematurely gray, Gingrich tossed off policy proposals (government bonuses for poor children who learn to read, tax credits to help lower-income families buy computers); management theories ("There is a model I work off," he told one interviewer: "visions, strategies, projects, and tactics"); legislative strategies ("It is my tactic to confront them so hard they have to respond"); and projections of the future ("My interest is in creating a positive, dynamic, high-tech, self-governing, free-market future") in a torrent of words that suggested either a touch of genius or Tourette's syndrome. He sometimes resembled a human PowerPoint presentation. Gingrich's whirling activity and tireless proselytizing touched on almost every conceivable subject of policy and political debate. But at its root was a simple injunction: Republicans must sharpen their differences with Democrats in every possible way and create clear, bright lines of division between the parties. "I'm tough in the House because when I arrived the Republican Party was a soft institution that lacked the tradition of fighting," Gingrich said years after his arrival. "You had to have somebody who was willing to fight."
With that militant vision, Gingrich began an insurrection against the viewpoint that had dominated the House GOP since the 1950s. An Army brat and a former history professor at West Georgia College, Gingrich came to in Washington as the sole Republican in Georgia's congressional delegation. He was inspired by Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan, but from the outset he was never an ideological purist. His conservatism was leavened by a generous (and often prescient) futurism that led him to worry about such things as how technology might empower the disabled for more productive lives. What truly set him apart was his capacity to formulate a long-term plan for redefining both parties, and his willingness to pursue almost any means necessary to advance it. Even as a junior member, his ambition was boundless. "I want to shift the entire planet," he told The Washington Post in 1985.
There's a back-to-the-future air about Gingrich's reemergence as a top-tier Republican presidential contender nearly 14 years after he resigned from the House (amid a backlash within his own caucus after the GOP's losses in the 1998 midterm election). As a presidential candidate, Gingrich doesn't look much like the scattershot, deal-making speaker who, as Rick Santorum likes to remind audiences, faced a rebellion in his ranks just three years after leading them to their first House majority in four decades. Instead, the Gingrich visible to audiences today is more reminiscent of the guerrilla leader who plotted the GOP's long march back to power. He is running as Mao the revolutionary in the caves, not Mao the helmsman in Beijing.
As a junior member in what seemed a permanent minority, Gingrich found that often he could be heard only by framing the conservative case against Democrats in language that shattered the era's boundaries of politically acceptable speech. The instincts that Gingrich honed, and the strategies he applied, while shouting from the backbenches 30 years ago are at the center of his success today. "I used to call him the great framer: He could frame an issue more effectively than anybody I know," said Republican former Rep. Vin Weber, a close Gingrich ally in those years who is supporting Mitt Romney in 2012. "He did it for the House Republicans for 14 years. I can see in this race [that] he doesn't always get it right the first time, but he gets there in framing the issue: the Massachusetts moderate versus the Reagan conservative, a manager versus someone who can change the government. That's what Romney has to worry about."
In this contest, Gingrich has built his campaign largely around his commanding performance in Republican presidential debates. Partly, GOP voters have responded to his fluent in a wide array of issues. But mostly, many observers agree, he has thrilled the party's most ideological elements with his lacerating attacks against President Obama, Democrats, and the news media.
"Gingrich certainly is effective in capturing a tone and tenor that really resonates with a great deal of Republicans out there, and Mitt Romney just has a harder time doing it," said Steve Schmidt, campaign manager for John McCain in 2008.
"Tip made a critical error when he took on Newt, because he elevated Newt."—Former Rep. Tony Coelho, D-Calif.
A Gingrich jeremiad launches words like projectiles in rapid fire; he is to the usual style of political invective what an AK-47 is to a Colt 45. In his election-night victory speech in South Carolina alone, Gingrich denounced Obama as "the most effective food-stamp president in American history" and "a danger to this country" who subscribes to "the radicalism of Saul Alinsky" and wants to transform America into "a brand-new secular Europe-style bureaucratic socialist system"; described federal judges as "antireligious bigots"; and insisted that "elites … have been trying for a half-century to force us to quit being Americans and to become some kind of other system."

During this past year, have you: Changed the medications you take? Been diagnosed with a new medical condition? Any of those changes could mean your current Medicare plan no longer meets your needs.
Medicare plans also change. The costs of your plan can go up or down, and prescription drugs can be added or dropped from the list of drugs (the formulary) included in your plan. Some Medicare plans change the benefits they offer or stop offering coverage in a particular location.
Because of such changes, you should check your current Medicare plan and, if necessary, switch to another one that fits you better.
You can compare the plans available in your area, and enroll in a new plan if you choose, by visiting Medicare.gov or calling 800-MEDICARE (800-633-4227). Another option for information and enrolling is to call the plan of your choice or visit its website.

free cuts and straight cut as well.What's the model of your Ellis?
Oh anyway, you may wanna try checking www.bandsawmanuals.com . I just
discovered this site and I got manual for the band saw I own for free. Hope this might help you also on how to work some stuff with your machine.
I have the HF bandsaw, and as others mentioned the stand is flimsy needs tweaking etc etc. But I bought a Porta Band and I hardly ever touch my bandsaw anymore. I don't do production runs and I can cut a decent 45˚ and 90˚.
I wish I had purchased the Port-a-band much sooner, worth the $.
These guys make a decent stand for the Port-a-band saws. I haven't used one but they seem to get pretty good reviews around the Forums.Ed Conley

I have one of those "Pacific Basin" 4 X 6 bandsaws. I've had it for more than 10 years and sometimes it cuts straight and sometimes it doesn't. I've never had one of those "ah ha!" moments when trying to get it to cut straight again after it's gone off the rails. I just mess with the guide rollers and hope I can get it straight again. I use Starret blades most of the time--some hardback and some bi-metal and I've not been able to relate straight cutting to a particular blade.
However, today while I was looking at it to figure out why it won't cut straight again I happened to look carefully at the blade and noticed that it's cupped. That is, if you sectioned the blade so you could look at the blade cross section, you'd see it shaped like a ) . I have two blades that won't cut straight and both look like that ). I can't figure out why they have become distorted like that. I usually check the guide rollers and set them tight enough so there isn't a lot of lateral play but not so tight that the blade gets squeezed out.
Has anyone else ever noticed the cup-shaped blade? And if so, has anyone figured out what causes it?

The best band saw I ever sold was the Ellis but they are pricey, the next has been a Jet because they are priced right and parts/blades are easy to get.

Thanks alot to all of you guys who had some CONSTRUCTIVE input on my situation here, some good info and pointers here to refer back to thats for sure. To whom ever it was that asked what model ellis i used cant realy tell ya it was a friend who does alot of pipe work and we were both welding on the same job. It was his but i can tell you what ever we put in there it cut it like it was nothing!!! Keep in mind this is how he makes his living I do not. The saw I will purchase will be used at home it will be cutting small tubing round, square and angle of course probably in the are of 1/8" on general. Thanks again Eric

I am a home shop welder type as you described. Just 2 weeks ago I picked up a HF 4x6 bandsaw for 200 bucks out the door with a 20% coupon. It did not cut straight out of the box. I put an Olson 14/18 vari-tooth, bi-metal blade on it, adjusted the guide rollers, cleaned up the gunk on the vise surface and now it cuts great! I am almost finished with a new stand for it out of 1 1/2 " x 1/8" angle and some locking casters. It is so much better than my noisy, dirty chop saw. Now I can cut in my shop until late at night and not wake the dead. I normally steer clear of bottom of the Harbor freight crap but this one is an exception. There is a lot of info out there on the net which is what helped me decide on purchasing it. For me it fits the bill.

This question has come up frequently in the past, and the discussions usually included the Grizzly brand. Do yourself a hege favor and check out their saws. I have the modle G9742 that I have used daily for over 7 years without one single problem. I like this model because the head itself swivels for 45 degree cuts, which is a huge advantage in a small shop, as you do not have to move the material itself to get an angle cut.
I will stress that I have used this saw HARD and it still performs well.
Grizzly also has a model with a fixed head that is competitive in price with HF.

Vicho's Weekly Sketches, Please critique!
Hello everyone! First post!
I've been drawing since I was a kid, but have never been really disciplined with it, so my skills are, for lack of a better word, spotty. Four weeks ago, I started teaching myself and started sketching every time I could (which is not very often, anyway).
I can spot some problems with my sketches (my aim at this stage is mainly to achieve got likeness, proportions and natural poses), but really don't know what to do to improve.
Please take a look at my sketches and tell me what you think...
These are from week one. Quick pose sketches on the subway.
These are from week 2. Sketches on the subway and about 45 minutes on a square copying a statue.
And these are from week 3 and 4
Here I started copying pictures:
This one ended like a caricature:
...with the last I did, I think proportions and poses are okay, but can't achieve likeness...
If you can't see the images, you can find them here, in my blog:
http://blog.vichofriedli.com/2010/09/24 ... nal-3-y-4/
Thank you very much for your time, critiques and tips!!!
Re: Vicho's Weekly Sketches, Please critique!
Vicho, first off, the drawings you have posted here don't have a sense of completion. They look unfinished. Notice how you place an emphasis on a hand or a foot, but the rest of the sketch is very light and ambiguous. Establish a center of interest within your composition and work everything else around it. Generally speaking, a hand or foot or some other minor aspect of your drawing is not normally a center of interest. That would be the head area, the body, so on. The line density on most of your drawings is not consistent. Spend more time on each sketch and bring it on home.
Your approach is pretty good with an attempt at structure and form, but it's not thorough enough for what you're trying to achieve. The best example of a finished sketch from what I can see is the bundle of flowers. Notice how that holds up very well compared to the rest of your images.
The best advice I can give you at this point is simply to finish your drawings. Give each one the time it needs to become a work of art. Don't be in a hurry to exhibit unfinished work. Spend some time on each drawing and give it love.
Also, try and post fewer samples within each post at a size that is compatible for the Web and they should be seen without a problem.
That said, welcome to AN.

Re: Vicho's Weekly Sketches, Please critique!
Welcome Vilcho,
God, life drawing's difficult! I have always struggled with it myself. Although you have a lot of work ahead of you, I think you're off to a good start. You're obviously aware of the importance of gesture...I just think you're not clear on how to effectively approach gesture drawing, which is the foundation of any drawing which includes the human figure. You should definitely research Glenn Vilppu's work and approach. He's really a master when it comes to life drawing. He's taught at all the major studios. Check out his books and blog:
Best of luck!...and see you around the board.
Re: Vicho's Weekly Sketches, Please critique!
Thanks for the links Jose! I have the Villpu Drawing Manual and his videos. Didn't have the link to his blog though. Thanks a lot!
Re: Vicho's Weekly Sketches, Please critique!
Hi Vicho,
One of the best pieces of advice I ever got for figure drawing, which would apply to you is: Look more often at your subject than at your drawing! When you're truly observing and being honest with how a subject looks, you'll be less likely to fall into only drawing the parts of it that you feel comfortable drawing. You need to break out of your little drawing habits and force yourself to capture something as it really appears.
Also, for candid sketching especially, don't neglect the subject's environment. Draw the full vignette of what you see.
Also, work faster to further eliminate bad habits.
That's the stuff that works for me anyway,

I've seen some pretty impressive LEGO tire driven/cushioned monorail displays that put miles of wear on the track and the train cars that ride on it. I'm hoping a monorail expert can tell me (about) how many hours of travel do you get out of the rubber monorail train wheels before you have to replace them? Do you have to use something to clean the tire marks off the track, or does it wipe away?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
LEGO® Answers is a question and answer site for LEGO® and building block enthusiasts. It's 100% free, no registration required.
I went to Brickcon 2012. I asked Joe Meno about his red Monorail and he was most helpful. He flipped it over to expose the undercarridge and he was able to show me LEGO tires with fifteen hours of running time. The tread does indeed wear off and the tires actualy begin to split. The rubber doesn't cling to the rails themselves, but residue does begin to accumulate below the tracks. The ease of clearing the area of the tire debrie all depends on what you have built below the track. It can be blown clear, or wiped away. These two sizes of tires were used to run Joes train. ...The tread on the driven tire is beginning to wear down. ...and you can see the non-powered wheel has begun to separate.

Track and Monorail Systems
For flexible lighting, get on board with monorail and track lights.
Why We Love Track & Monorail Systems
Our favorite fixtures are those that 1) look great and 2) are easy to use. Both things are inherent to monorail lighting and track lighting systems. Track systems have been the display lighting fixtures of choice for decades, with a row of adjustable spotlights set along a rigid track. Monorail systems provide even greater lighting flexibility--literally--with bendable rails and an amazing selection of adjustable spotlights and decorative mini pendant lights. Both types of systems accommodate interchangeable elements, allowing you to mix and match to your heart's content.
Where Track & Monorail Lighting Goes Best
The modernity of the technology in general makes track and monorail lighting especially ideal in contemporary settings. Use contemporary track lighting for hallway lighting to highlight art work along the wall or use a track system for directional lighting in a modern living room. Living room track lighting can highlight artwork or provide spotlighting over your entertainment center. You can also use curvaceous monorail systems for kitchen lighting to provide both directional task lighting for work surfaces as well as eye-catching drops of color.
Other Great Options
Consider using light switch dimmers to control the amount of light output from your track and monorail system. Adorne by Legrand offers many options that work well with most modern track lighting and monorail lighting.You can get similar wall washing, accent lighting and general ambient lighting effects in modern spaces with lower profile recessed lighting. You'll also want to see the selection of wall-mounted picture lights as another way to highlight the artwork in your home.

Good artists copy, great artists steal
Facebook contiues to do what they are very good at: Copying other people's ideas. Everyone does it but facebook was supposedly founded on stealing ideas. Now they continue the legacy so they seem to recently stand out a little more than the others. I guess this is the "new age" open philosophy of doing business.
So you have to be able to steal the good ideas and steal them as fast as you can so you can claim them as part of your own creation even if everyone knows the ideas were already there previously or in production somewhere else. If this is the way it is really going to be as this new standard is continually being set, then I think all ideas should be open and free to use. If you're going to copy or steal from everyone, then everyone should be free to copy and steal from you....just throw the idea up with a few adjustments, different name and there you go. It's "original" yet again. What's fair is fair, right? Maybe we should just put everything under a friendlier term such as Open Source.
Should we be getting used to this way of "creating" ideas while our extremely corrupt monetary system, economy and other systems continue to snowball out of control into a blissful stupefaction? The disregard for common sense and humanity seems to be in full swing within most big establishments: banks, corporations, education, government, etc... so maybe we'll have to all simultaneously evolve with it and every preconceived idea should be free to use when all is said and done. At least this is what seems to already be going on more and more as time goes by. One of these days people/companies wont be able to sue other people/companies because everyone will have already stolen from everyone else.
If you look around, what else are we also seeing? The big corporations or establishments are sucking up other smaller companies. It's a vicious cycle where ultimately we may not know the outcome. Is it OK for these larger companies to keep buying up other companies left and right. Who knows? But imagine a distant future where everything you need is supplied by one company and you also work for the company? It's a bizarre thought but not impossible. I'm not saying any of the currently existing companies will be like this, but if there is an extreme economic failure someone will probably step in and buy everything up. That's the way money works in certain hands.
Anyway, no one wants to see their ideas and creations showing up somewhere else. It's "human" to believe that you own all your ideas but is it natural? Philosophically it can get too complicated to argue. What or who created humans and everything in this world? I'm not speaking for any religion, but does "God" or the "creator" have a copyright or patent on everything that exists before we do? If a creator owns a creation wouldn't your creator own you and everything you create? Did a creator put a patent on DNA, atoms, molecules, the earth, the sun, black holes, radio waves, sounds waves and light waves? If you believe that there is no creator, does that mean no one can create or own anything, or is it all up for grabs?
BTW: I don't dislike facebook. I use it occasionally and it's pretty good for what it does, just like some other social web sites. It's an advanced communication device. I just can't get overly obsessed communicating with or through something that isn't real, but then you can ask, "What is real?"
Great Social Networks Steal
Re: Good artists copy, great artists steal
That's a great commentary you provided Skynet.
I wholeheartedly disagree with that philosophy as it applies to artists. I read the linked article and I see a difference between social networks lifting ideas from each other as opposed to artists literally copying and stealing like they tend to do in that area of the Internet.
I've heard that saying before and I'm surprised that more people in the creative community aren't taking genuine offense at it over the years.
If good artists copy and great artists steal, then the greatest of artists originate.
Only copiers and thieves believe that good artists copy and great artists steal. It's one thing to be creatively influenced. That's only natural. But to advocate copying and stealing as a measure of artistic greatness is not something I agree with at all.

Re: Good artists copy, great artists steal
I posted a link to this topic on AN's homepage last night and in that time the views have started to accumulate.
For September 16, 2011
Do good artists copy? Do great artists steal?
Other sites and blogs are picking up on this and posting links to the topic as well. This is an excellent subject and a great commentary Skynet. Something that artists should be addressing and coming to terms from long ago. Picasso or Steve Jobs or whoever may have endorsed this kind of thinking, it still doesn't make it right. This will help in getting the word out that there's better ways to go besides giving honor to copying and stealing.

Re: Good artists copy, great artists steal
My first year of college I was taking a fine arts class. Our instructor, Mr. Lum, would give us an assignment and after about a half hour of working on it, he would say "okay, its time to cheat and steal". We all had to get up and see what everyone else was doing for their assignment. It was inspiring to see what everyone elses take on the assignment was. And, as Mr Lum would say, it prevents us from reinventing the wheel. We would return to our own project and incorporate some of these techniques and ideas into our own projects. "Cheating and Stealing" lifted the quality of the art of the entire class. But what made it amazing is that the art didn't end up all looking the same, but rather everyone did their own take on it. Everyone made it their own.
One of the very first movies Walt Disney ever saw was Snow White. Later, as everyone knows, Walt would "steal" that story and make it his own. As he would many other stories.
So "cheating and stealing" is okay, only as long as you put your own spin on whatever it is you steal. Otherwise you only end up reinventing the wheel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4ioBjbPliU
Led Zeppelin was great at stealing:
Re: Good artists copy, great artists steal
I wasn't thinking about all the categories this topic covers while I was typing it up, but it does obviously cover all things. Actually all the ideas I mention here are not original to me. I didn't purposely take them from anything but I know they've been around forever. In fact on a particularly illusive state of mind I believe that everything has always existed. We just can't see it, hear it, smell it, touch it or taste it until it is brought into a physical space where we can experience it. Then for psychological and some other necessary reasons we claim that space as our personal property. Maybe in the future people will start putting copyright and patents on things they haven't thought of or created yet, as in something like Minority Report.
True creation is kind of mysterious to me though. There seems to be no way of knowing if you are creating something or just assembling one of the infinite possibilities that exist in a sub-consciousness field where space and time is not measurable or understood. Sounds like I'm getting "spiritual" but "science" can show us the same thing. It gets fuzzy when you merge into the quantum aspect but then there's also the fact that this world, the universe and beyond is so immense that there could possibly be an infinite number of other beings doing or that have done the same thing we are doing right now. No one can know, but does it matter? Not really. Why should we care what some being 200 light years from here is doing, at least not until we can travel that far in a brief period of time to tell them that they are stealing our ideas.
As Davelyman said, I also believe a larger part of it has to do with how you spin the ideas. There have been times where I've created new things while studying someone's stuff and then after a while I start to realize that my creation is nothing like the stuff I was getting ideas from. What I've noticed in my own work is that it ends up being harder for me to copy and easier to turn it into something more original. It may have a similar feel but it wont feel like where it came from. What I call it is inspiration because a little inspiration is sometimes all I need to ignite a spark that can explode into a whole new sphere of hot plasma.
Ultimately I think what we have to do, while we are these "human being" things that we call ourselves, is "do the right thing" or examine it ethically. We can't walk around stealing everything, no matter what it is, because we perceive that as a very wrong or immoral thing to do. I believe that whatever it is we do when we create, it is far more honorable, respectable and in the realm of genius when you create something that is "original" or at least not lifted directly from someone's work that you are familiar with. Plus, there is a lot more personal satisfaction when you know that you did your best at creating something that you can honestly say is all you.

Friday, September 20, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (September 20, 2002) - East Tennessee State University's men's and women's tennis programs are hosting to the 12th Annual ETSU Fall Collegiate Classic, which began Friday morning at the ETSU Tennis Complex. The men scored big victories Moises Serrano (Bucaramanga, Colombia), Francisco Diaz (Weston, Fla.) and Federico Ochoa (Manizales, Colombia). All three players shutout their second and final opponents on Friday in two sets (6-0, 6-0) and now find themselves in contention for the tournament title in their respective brackets. Serrano and Diaz will play for the championship in the men's "B" singles, while Ochoa is sitting in good position in the "C" bracket. Diaz and Ochoa also paired for some doubles competition, blanking their opponents from Carson-Newman, 8-0. On the women's side, Buccaneer freshman Sylwia Ziolkowska (Warsaw, Poland) won her first singles match in two sets, 6-2 and 6-1 to waltz into the semifinals of the "A" division. Ziolkowska will play Ana Maria Cibels of Tennessee Tech at 9:30 a.m. to determine who goes to the finals on Saturday afternoon. In the "B" bracket, head coach Steve Brooks advanced two players to the semifinals as Amy Villavicencio (Lexington, Ky.) and Jewel Aldea (Summerville, S.C.) had a strong first two rounds on Friday evening. "Overall, the tournament went very well today," said men's head coach Dave Mullins. "There were roughly 90 matches played, and I think everyone is getting what they wanted out of the tournament." The tournament will conclude on Saturday evening. Back draws will begin at 8:00 a.m. with the main draws scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m.

Too much coating?
December 10, 2012, 11:42:16 PM »
Hey all quick question. I just recently switched canvas paper to LexJet Sunset Reserve Bright Matte Canvas and also got some Sunset Satin Coating. Since I've only using BC's Lyve and Timeless I wasn't sure how many coats to put since this finish is a little thicker when dried than the Timeless. I have coated a couple pictures with no problem at all. I just finished stretching a 16x20 that seems to feel as if I coated it too much. Almost feels like cardboard hard and difficult to fold when doing corners. I also noticed that with every fold I made, it was cracking as if not enough is on there. Is it possible to overcoat and cause cracking? I always believed it was undercoating that caused this. If it's undercoated, why does it feel as if I sprayed 10 layers of coating on it?

For a data point, try stretching an uncoated piece of scrap canvas. Then try a piece with two coats, etc. It seems like a PITA to do tests like that, but in the end you can be truly confident about the durability of your product, without doing unnecessary work on a routine basis.
When I tried the Sunset coatings I felt they didn't have anything even close to the almost magical leveling qualities of Glamour II.
Since I only mount canvas, my sole criteria for "enough coating" is to go one coat past the point where I don't get any color at all on a clean cotton glove when I rub it hard against the dried surface of a medium density print placed on a hard surface. A wrapper would have to include a cracking test. When I was doing wraps, my impression was that I had the least cracking and abrassion problems with thin coats wrapped in the time frame of 24 to 48 hours after coating, when the coatings had set up pretty well but were not completely hardened.

Thanks for the quick response, Bill. I actually coated up and down then sideways with heavy coats about 2 or 3 times. So it was pretty coated.

Odd. I made the switch from BC to Lexjet about six months ago, and am using a rather heavy application their coating, applied via HVLP sprayer. I don't find it to be cardboard-like, although it is a little thicker than the BC canvas. Curiously, I have absolutely no cracking issues whatsoever, and find that there is much better ink adhesion and overall durability with the Lexjet Sunset Reserve/Sunset Coating combo. Perhaps it is an ink difference? I use HP Vivera ink. Did you let the canvas dry well before coating?

Color, the weird thing is that I've already stretched a couple of prints with this combo and have had great results. All of a sudden it seems like these couple prints I just tried have all started cracking on me. Only thing I can think of that changed was the weather. It dropped to about 45 degrees F. And since my spray room is in my garage, a bunch of cold air was blowing into the garage and into my spray room. Would this cause any change to the prints?

Since I'm in Hawaii, I'm not a good person to ask about cold weather spraying. That could be the issue, but past experience with other acrylics in California in cold weather mainly affected drying time. If the raw material was in your garage the whole time and it got below freezing at any point, though, then that almost certainly is the problem. Most waterborne products suggest application when over 50 degrees, so if the liquid didn't get too cold, emperical testing in a warmer environment will tell you a lot. At the very least, I'd wait to stretch until it is warmer.

If your spraying environment is cold, bring the prints into a warmer environment to cure. Sounds like you are applying the coating too heavily.

John I got off the phone with LexJet this morning and they confirmed that I was overcoating. They recomment two coats with about an hour or two in between the coats. And that should be all I need. I was just used to spraying so much of the Timeless coating. So I was trying to coat it over and over

I spray significantly more Lexjet coating than I did Timeless when I was still using their coatings. I find it very flexible and extremely durable. I really think that temperature is more an issue than coating thickness. Acrylics soften in warmer temperatures, so I suspect that it was probably not well cured and too brittle when you tried to stretch. Granted, a thinner coating would be better cured faster in cold weather, but to say that it is the coating thickness itself that is the problem is a bit of a red herring, IMO.

After reading about it in a post on this forum, I've been trying Miniwax Polyurethane over Epson pigment. On one canvas, i had taken too long to finish spreading it, so had to give it a second, then a third coat to get rid of a holiday area, sort of. I noticed the thread texture of the canvas filling in and it was difficult to stretch and fold it around corners - as you suspected for too many layers. However i did not have any cracking of it. I've still been using polyurethane as a coating, but only 1 coat. very self leveling and UV resistant. 9 years ago i put polyurethane on my outside hardwood door, exposed to sunlight and rain. No checking or UV damage in that time. I use a foam brush to spread it.

Oh what a day. Had couple big prints to have ready for the weekend for some wedding expo going on. Well ended up I was overcoating with Lexjet on Lyve canvas. Canvas was feeling real hard to manage and would crack at every fold test I made. This was with 3 semi heavy passes (left-right, up-down, then diagonal). So re-printed and did was lexjet tech said . . only one heavy pass is all thats needed. Did that. Waited for picture to dry and sure enough cracking on every fold test. And not minor cracking BAD cracking. So I saw I had some timeless left over from last batch. Sprayed that on like usual. And guess what? No cracking. Ugh. With all these headaches and stress coming from BC's products (bubbles with too much coating, cotton seeds on the canvas in all areas of the canvas) I think I'm done with BC. Sorry just venting
Edit: Well after letting the Timeless fully dry I went back out and did a fold test . . cracking. Clients need these prints tomorrow. Wow what a weekend.

To get the prints out the door for your client tomorrow I would suggest spraying some water on the back of the canvas where you're folding and using a hair dryer on low to subtly warm up the canvas. This should make it softer and more pliable to prevent the cracking.
Another option is to grab a can of Krylon Preserve It from a craft store and spray the canvas with this as a topcoat. I've used gloss and I guarantee it won't crack when folded. It is super glossy though, but you have the option of spraying a final topcoat on AFTER stretching with the Krylon applied to finish the canvas with the desired glossiness.
Both methods will work and I have used both in the past when in a serious time crunch. Wouldn't recommend it as part of your workflow (mainly cause it's a PITA), but they will work to get your canvases out the door in time for your client's needs.

Thanks for the tips, Ken. Gonna try the water and blow dryer method right now. Sure enough as I'm spraying this large 30x40 (3rd time I print it because of cracking) I notice 3 dark black canvas cotton seeds right on the part of the image thats the sky and clouds. I'm out of canvas. No more to reprint with. Oh brother . . . I'm so done with BC

Give the canvas a few minutes to absorb the water before folding. And when you do fold the corners take it slow. I find a fast pinch will sometimes cause it to crack.
That really sucks about the cotton seeds. Always happen right when you're out of canvas and in the lightest area of the print. Never fails.
Good luck!

KEN! You are a LIFE saver! Thank you so much! Wow the water and hair dryer trick softened the canvas so much it was almost fluid like. I handled the corners gently and not ONE crack! Whew . . what a close one. Ken so here's my question. It has been a little cold here in south Texas (45 degrees F) and I work in my garage which faces south. So I do get a lot of cold air coming into the garage when I've been recently working with these past couple prints. I did a lot of prints with same canvas and same coating during Christmas time (weather was about 80 degrees) and the only difference is that it's cold now. It seems to stiffen up my canvas when I'm working in the cold environment. Although last night I brought in a print to leave in the house to see what the difference was and of course it was easier to work with but still cracked on fold test. Would the cold have anything to do with my crack corners?

Great to hear you can deliver your canvases on time as promised!
The cold definitely affects your coating and corner cracking problem. I'm in Canada and all winter long I have that problem with the cold unless I use Epson Exhibition Gloss canvas, which folds and stretches like a dream but costs quite a bit here ($159 + 13% tax for a small 24" roll). Right now where I am it's -15C or about 5F for you and it's not even really cold here yet, so you can imagine the problems here in Canada when it's cold LOL.
I've also found the adhesive inkjet receptive coating on canvas can vary from batch-to-batch with the same manufacturer. I've used canvas that stretched and folded beautifully. Ran out of canvas so switched rolls with one already here from the same manufacturer, although a different batch number, and it was horrid. Very stiff and it was like folding cement. Of course it cracked like crazy, the stiff batch that is. I've suffered that from a couple of different manufacturers and the only element that changed was the batch number off the canvas. Some of these guys have to get it together and start producing the receptive coating in a more controlled manner. Had the same problem with rubber when I molded it many years ago. The supplier would change the formula ever so slightly and we would produce nothing but scrap because the rubber was so dry. But definitely the cold temperatures will affect your canvas. I can give you a list of canvases that are more pliable and softer to work with if you'd like, but some of them cost more than the Lyve you were using, at least here in Canada it does.
Anyway, so glad to hear the water and hair dryer trick worked for you!

Well cold front passed us by and now it's back to being humid and in the upper 70's lower 80's. Wow what a world of a difference. Same exact spraying and stretching method as before in the cold and this time everything felt like butter. Super easy to work with. Not to self: No more stretching prints in low temperatures again.

Have been having excellent results spraying GlamII in a space with 1.5 of 4 walls exposed to the outside, with ambient air temps below 40F/4C.
All it takes is a
kerosene heater
. It can warm the space up to 55F/13C in about 3 minutes and keep it there. It's the equivalent of about 15 of those 1500 watt electric room heaters. It's a little like working in a closed garage with the car engine running, but hey, I'll do anything for my art/money. Using a face mask with an organic filter is highly recommended. And it's very loud, much louder than the HVLP turbine. When the weather warms up I plan to convert it to a
pulse jet engine for my bicycle

The 5 Biggest Things in Comedy Right Now
The Five Biggest Things in Comedy Right Now
Comedy is kind of having a moment right now. From the unbeatable combination of BFFs Seth Rogen and James Franco, to the rise of the ever-lovable Aziz Ansari, there hasn't been a golden moment for comedy like this since the days of Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly. From addiction-worthy sitcoms to the best in comedy specials, here are the The Five Biggest Things in Comedy Right Now. Go get your LOL on.
1. Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain
Arguably the biggest stand up special of the year, Let Me Explain will have you falling out of your chair laughing. Coming off the hype of his previous stand up Laugh At My Pain and cultural hit Think Like A Man, Kevin Hart is sitting high atop the comedy world. The stand up starts off with a mini documentary of Hart's international tour and the hilarious moments that came about. Kevin dives back into his personal life in which most of his jokes are formed. He's used this method in Laugh At My Pain and, needless to say, it worked very well. This method also helps build a connection with the audience because most us have dealt with similar experiences (relationships, children, money, etc). But what makes Kevin Hart so special is that he can flip the worst memory into a hilarious one. Check out Kevin Hart's Let Me Explain in theaters now.
2. This Is The End
This star-studded comedy follows six friends trapped in a house after a series of strange and catastrophic events devastate Los Angeles. The best part about the movie is the entire cast is portraying their slightly-exaggerated IRL (In Real Life) personas as the city is coming down around them. If you're a sci-fi fanatic looking for a good laugh, this movie is perfect. Go check out This Is The End starring James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Danny McBride, and many other comedians in the theaters now.
3. Arrested Development Season 4
It was a sad day when Fox canceled Arrested Development back in 2006. After many long sleepless nights filled with confusion and the success movie/TV streaming, Netflix decided to bring the once hilarious TV sitcom back to life for a 15-episode season four. The whacky Bluth family is back, and after six years away from each other (and us) they were able to pick up right where they left off. If you are new to the series, the show's storyline centers on the Bluth family, a formerly wealthy, habitually dysfunctional family, incorporating hand-held camera work, narration, archival photos, and historical footage.
What's special about this season is that each episode occurs over approximately the same stretch of time, but focuses on a different character. Information on events depicted in a given episode is often partial and filled in by other episodes. So as you're clutching your stomach from laughter, see if you can catch the ways each episode intertwines with the others throughout the season. Head over to Netflix now to watch the Season 4 of Arrested Development.
4. Aziz Ansari: Dangerously Delicious
Is it me or does Aziz Ansari keep getting funnier with every stand up show? Whether it's him telling stories about watching 50 Cent learning about grapefruit or checking up on his chubby cousin Harris, Aziz brings us his best yet in Dangerously Delicious. This time around, confident Aziz shows us a little more vulnerability in his jokes, especially dealing with the opposite sex. His story telling is colorful and will you laughing at every wild bizarre experience he has found himself apart of. If you loved his previous work you will surely love Dangerously Delicious. You can pick up Aziz's new stand up on his website for $5.
5. Dave Chappelle headlining Funny or Die's "Oddball Comedy and Curiosity Festival"
After surprisingly disappearing after the fall out of The Chappelle Show eight years ago, Dave Chappelle has been keeping a low profile doing occasional drop-in stand up at L.A.'s Laugh Factory and spots on "Inside the Actors Studio." Recently it seems like the comedy king of yesteryear is making a big return by headlining this year's Funny or Die "Oddball Comedy and Curiosity Festival," kicking off August 23 in Austin, Texas.We don't know if this is the first step to a hopeful mainstream career comeback or not but it is the biggest project we've seen Chappelle apart for years! If he still the comedian we know and love, his show will have us gasping for breath between cackles. Head over to Funny or Die to get your ticket and learn more about the festival.

OLLU's World Series Connection
The door to Major League baseball opened for Joe Almaraz at a university without a baseball team. The path to a career in scouting prospects and signing stars for two World Series champions began at a school with many nuns but not one scholarship athlete.
If not for Our Lady of the Lake University, Almaraz says, he wouldn't have become a successful junior college baseball coach, a winning minor league manager, or a premier national crosschecker for the St. Louis Cardinals. If not for OLLU, Almaraz (Master's of Education 1986) wouldn't be aiming for a third World Series ring.[Read More]

As bad as Fitzpatrick is with turning the ball over that wont be a problem this week. He can easily score fast and often going against this secondary. On the offensive side we have kicked 3 FGs in 6 quarters. The Bills only need to rush 4 against a bad OL and WRs that cant get separation. Add to that a short week to shake off whatever that was Sunday and this is a recipe for a loss.
Bills will win and probably by a couple TDs.

Interpretive Handbook
8162 :
Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) Tumor Marker, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a glycoprotein that is produced in early fetal life by the liver and by a variety of tumors including hepatocellular carcinoma, hepatoblastoma, and nonseminomatous germ cell tumors of the ovary and testis (eg, yolk sac and embryonal carcinoma). Most studies report elevated AFP concentrations in approximately 70% of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. Elevated AFP concentrations are found in 50% to 70% of patients with nonseminomatous testicular tumors.(1)
AFP is elevated during pregnancy. Persistence of AFP in the mother following birth is a rare hereditary condition.(2) Neonates have markedly elevated AFP levels (>100,000 ng/mL) that rapidly fall to below 100 ng/mL by 150 days and gradually return to normal over their first year.(2)
Concentrations of AFP above the reference range also have been found in serum of patients with benign liver disease (eg, viral hepatitis, cirrhosis), gastrointestinal tract tumors and, along with carcinoembryonic antigen in ataxia telangiectasia.
The biological half-life of AFP is approximately 5 days.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
The follow-up management of patients undergoing cancer therapy, especially for testicular and ovarian tumors and for hepatocellular carcinoma
Often used in conjunction with human chorionic gonadotropin(2)
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels may be elevated in association with a variety of malignancies or benign diseases.
Failure of the AFP value to return to normal by approximately 1 month after surgery suggests the presence of residual tumor.
Elevation of AFP after remission suggests tumor recurrence; however, tumors originally producing AFP may recur without an increase in AFP.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
This assay is intended only as an adjunct in the diagnosis and monitoring of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)-producing tumors.
The diagnosis should be confirmed by other tests or procedures.
AFP is not recommended as a screening procedure for cancer detection in the general population.
Amniotic fluid should not be sent, because this test is only used as a tumor marker. This test is not the correct AFP test for pregnant patients.
This test is not intended for the detection of neural tube defects.
Higher values are found in newborns and pregnant women.
Not useful in patients with pure seminoma or dysgerminoma.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
<6.0 ng/mL
Reference values are for nonpregnant subjects only; fetal production of AFP elevates values in pregnant women.
Range for newborns is not available, but concentrations over 100,000 ng/mL have been reported in normal newborns, and the values rapidly decline in the first 6 months of life.(See literature reference: Ped Res 1981;15:50-52) For further interpretive information, see Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) in Special Instructions.
Serum markers are not specific for malignancy, and values may vary by method.

Voodoo and Dervish and Boom, Oh My!
We're not in Kansas, anymore...the audiences often feel they're not in Hamilton Montana anymore, when they attend the shows of the Bitterroot Performing Arts Council.
It's a winning combination of the inviting atmosphere of the Hamilton High School Performing Arts Center and the quality entertainment the council brings in for the lucky audiences who attend

Note: Please stop read this article, and read our updated shower filter article instead I wanted to post an update on my quest for the best shower filter. I received a lot of useful comments on my last shower filter post, and I've also tested a couple of new shower filters.
