Over a journey spanning nearly a quarter-century, moe. has let their knack for dynamic, democratic improvisation influence nearly every facet of the band's existence. In concert, they stretch the boundaries of their source material into intricate, set-long suites where distinct songs seamlessly segue into one another in exhilarating fashion. "We've honed this telepathy on stage," explains drummer Vinnie Amico. "We know how to play with each other. The whole band moves together."
Behind the scenes, moe. continues to evolve – to test their musicianship and songwriting while growing as an ensemble – by applying the same resourcefulness and willingness to take risks to their studio recordings. Their new album, fittingly titled No Guts, No Glory and available May 27, 2014 on Sugar Hill Records, finds moe. at their most inventive, infectious, and resilient. The album's eleven songs (fourteen on the deluxe digital and double vinyl editions) took a winding path into existence, as the band's initial intentions fell victim to logistical hurdles. "Sometimes you have to adapt on the fly and just improvise," says guitarist and vocalist Chuck Garvey. "We had these songs that were written with an acoustic album in mind. But we ended up making a whole different thing."
To enhance the release of the band's last album, 2012's What Happened to the La Las, moe. cut acoustic versions of some of the songs as bonus material. The experience suggested a potential new avenue for their wide-ranging hybrid of roots music, Zappa-inspired mischief, psychedelic explorations, and timeless, melodic pop. A suitably rustic studio was lined up, along with a producer with an acoustic sensibility. "But," Garvey says, "before long, for a variety of reasons, that all fell apart…our whole goal was shot down."
"When we realized everything wasn't working out," recalls percussionist Jim Loughlin, "We all just gathered in a hotel room and started shooting out ideas."
Bassist and vocalist Rob Derhak picks up the story: "I decided to put it out there…'What if we had Dave Aron do the album?' And everyone said, 'That could be amazing…'"
For a long stretch that ended with the making of What Happened to the La Las, moe. hadn't even employed producers – relying instead on the resolutely democratic methods that have made them so successful on stage and in previous studio outings. "It became apparent to us," says guitarist and vocalist Al Schnier, "that sometimes we're way too democratic for our own good. It's a good thing, and it's why we all get along and work well together. But it means everything is going to take a bit longer. We can't always make a decision because we're all being really fair."
"When we finally worked with John Travis on La Las," says Loughlin, "it was the first time we had an actual producer who settled disagreements immediately. It worked out really well."
On paper, Aron seemed like an unusual, intriguing choice. While possessing an eclectic sensibility and experience in a number of genres, Aron has distinguished himself over the past twenty years as a go-to hip-hop engineer and producer, facilitating albums by Snoop Dogg, Tupac Shakur, Dr. Dre, and many others. "But he's also worked with Prince and U2," Amico explains. "He's rooted in rock. He went to Memphis University, he was into the Grateful Dead…Hip-hop is where he carved his niche, but he's got an ear for rock."
Aron was also a longtime moe. friend, fan, and ally. "Years ago," Derhak says, "we did a show where Banyan opened up for us at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York. Dave was playing clarinet with them."
"We've been friends ever since," Schnier says. "Every time we'd be in Los Angeles, he'd come to our shows, have a beer. So it was more like 'Why don't we work with Dave?' as opposed to 'How about the guy who worked with Snoop and Tupac?'"
Agreeing to fly east, Aron spent a productive month in the studio with moe., working on a mix of brand new material and unrecorded songs that the group had tested out in concert – almost all of which were originally intended for the abandoned acoustic album. "As we were recording," Derhak explains, "we decided it would be good to have some acoustic instrument on every song. So, while we were plugged in and had full drums, there is also an acoustic element running throughout the album."
"Just adding that one spice to the mix definitely changed the presentation," adds Garvey. "With the mindset of an album that is a little more rootsy, the songwriting went in a certain direction. Then it got bent in another direction. In that way, we actually did something a little more unique because we came at it from that different direction."
The acoustic foundation of No Guts, No Glory adds a buoyancy and richness to the album's songs and performances, which are put across with an energetic, spontaneous feel true to moe.'s well-earned reputation as as a thrilling live band. "Dave basically wanted to emulate a show," says Loughlin. "He knows our crowd, he knows what our audience wants to hear, and that's what he wanted to capture. He was focused on the vibe."
"We wanted the live-in-the-studio feel," Garvey adds, "that organic push and pull of time changing and all of us reacting. That's something that a lot of music right now tends to lose…"
No Guts, No Glory opens with the elliptical riff of Garvey's ominous "Annihilation Blues." "That song was intended to be this acoustic, dirge-like blues thing," Garvey reflects. "It ended up being more of a pile-driver electric song with that acoustic underpinning to it. It's definitely more powerful with the electric treatment." Like much of the album, he says, "it's a mix of what it started as and what it could become."
Schnier's expansive "Silver Sun" taps into the band's psychedelic side, as a winding introductory guitar solo ushers in a suite of interconnected themes, both instrumental and vocal. "That was written for a Halloween show," drummer Amico recalls, "and has a bit of a Pink Floyd influence. Al brought in the different sections, and it was up to us to make them fit together – to mold the whole thing to make it cohesive. From our shows, we've really learned how to meld one piece into another through improvisation." The track also benefits immensely from Loughlin's work as a colorist, carefully shading the track with an array of percussive textures. The result is a sophisticated extended performance with impressively fluid modulations. Schnier says, "I think we did three takes of it, top to bottom, live in the studio, and just went with the best one."
The shimmer of the vibraphone, tastefully deployed by Loughlin, has become one of moe.'s sonic hallmarks, as demonstrated on Derhak's "Same Old Story" – which lends the album its title. "That was definitely a process of trial and error in the studio," Derhak explains, describing the song's unusual instrumental devices. "Dave recorded Vinnie playing and made a loop out of his drum part. We dropped that loop in up front, and it reappears at different spots in the song, along with Vinnie's live drums. The loungey vibe, plus the loop, plus the Farfisa organ Al played, made it weirder and weirder. When it came time for a guitar solo I said 'I don't want any guitar solos on this, let Jim do a vibes solo.'" Loughlin responds with a searching, urgent passage that perfectly reflects the intensity of the song's terse, rapid-fire lyrics.
Ironically, it was Aron who brought No Guts, No Glory closest to its acoustic origins, on Derhak's wistful "The Pines and the Apple Tree." "That was the only thing that Dave had a plan for, from beginning to end," Derhak says. "The drums don't even come in until the last quarter of the song." With just shakers, and tambourines, acoustic guitars and mandolin intertwine, building to a nimble electric guitar solo before the drums eventually emerge just as the lyric reaches its emotional peak.
Despite its uncertain beginnings, No Guts, No Glory is quintessential moe., from the high lonesome harmonies of "This I Know" to the insightful, brass-flecked pop of "Blond Hair and Blue Eyes," the band and Aron strike an ideal balance between documenting the heart of a strong set of material with their ongoing willingness to explore and improvise. "In the studio," Amico says, "we try to keep the energy high like it would be at a show, while also getting really good snapshot of the songs themselves."
"Looking back," reflects Schnier, "the thing I was most surprised about was just how easy this record was to make. After all the initial setbacks, once we got down to it, it just kept moving along. Everything just seemed to take shape, and it came out great. I doubt that it would come out that way on our own."
"Our whole original idea was bastardized," says Garvey, fondly. "We didn't do what we set out to do, but that happens, but it all worked out well."
"Basically," Derhak concludes, smiling, "everything we started out to do turned into completely something else. An album that was supposed to be an acoustic based album recorded in a barn turned into a hard rock album recorded in Connecticut with a hip-hop producer. Go figure. Typical moe."

Contrary to the lyrics in a popular worship song currently being invoked in the church today, âThese are the days of Elijahâ, I believe a  more accurate description of our time would rather  be from 1 Samuel 3,  âThese are the days of Eli, the priest of Shilohâ.
It is important to understand the true condition and diagnosis that we as a church have entered into,  and unfortunately it is not a condition that warrants singing about our health and well-being. Scripturally, the  ârighteousness being restoredâ will actually come through judgement not favouritism. According to Godâs Word  what really lies ahead prophetically is a period of  trouble, exile, and persecutions and not triumphalism. What we do need  is to be prepared spiritually and mentally. We need  a deep sense of humility, and a determination to obey Godâs Word (indeed, as Elijah did)  so as not to miss the direction the Lord is taking us in. We must, among other things, not end up trying to protect  an established  leadership in so many cases in todayâs church when so much of this contemporary leadership  is actually under Godâs condemnation ( as John the Baptist and Elijah warned Israel).
Notice that what  Eli the chief priest did at Shiloh, so the Pharisees similarly did in Yeshuaâs time at Jerusalem. The Pharisees disparaged those voices of the faithfully humble of the Lord , while ironically being silent over the open hypocrisy of their own sons. I believe  our own current âEliâ leadership is about to correspondingly be bypassed and judged. Whatever limited vision it has  will literally be darkened. 1 Samuel 3 shows us prophetically where the voice of the Lord will now be moving and speaking. Similarly Yeshua warned in John 9 that  the Phariseeâs unbelieving sight was about to be dimmed and the true humble worshippers of God are coming to the light.
The messianic expectations common to the leadership of Israel and among the people of God in the time of Yeshua were also of a coming period of restoration and prosperity that included a triumphal freedom from the world powers of the day and a re-establishment of the nation to a Solomonic type of glory . Close to this ancient saga, the  current widespread outlook prevalent in charismatic and Pentecostal worship songs today carries a misleading  atmosphere founded on a misguided belief that  the return of Yeshua will simply be  a âyear of Jubileeâ.  It is a similar hollow anticipation of a victorious and  âall overcoming empireâ. This bogus ideal being trumpeted today regrettably is largely based on the âLatter Rainâ  false triumphalism teaching distorting  Joel chapter 2, that emerged in the 1950′s (when it was rejected as heretical by mainstream Pentecostalism) but has slowly managed to re-infiltrate the major Evangelical, Pentecostal and Charismatic denominations today .
If we look at the historical periods before the coming of Israelâs king in Samuel and the coming of Yeshua in the Gospels, we see an almost diametrically opposite ambience, spiritually. Both were periods of quiet, with the Word of the Lord being rare both  in Eliâs temple and with over four hundred years of silence in the late Persian to post-Hasmonean  era that preceded the first coming of the Messiah with no prophet after Malachi until John the Baptist.
Both were times where the leadership by the clergy in the temple and nation was widely recognised in the public arena  as having become more ungodly because of its internal vices not more holy.
In both eras the actual worship of God was known to be performed  in an atmosphere of greed, immorality and wickedness orchestrated by corrupt clergy. The reality on the ground for the people of God was that they were cast down and poverty -stricken by outside oppressors. The  faithful people suffered an infertility of the land  in the land of promise.
Also, as in the days of Eli and as in the days of Gospels, it has essentially  become much the same in todayâs House of God. So much of the senior leadership has confirmed reports of the scandals and greed within the sanctuaries of the Lord, but do not wish to risk loss of their positions or power by  dealing with it.
How should we to react to this dichotomy biblically in an environment where too much of the House of God is falsely expecting a glorious future but will end up having âIchabodâ, (the glory departed) written on it?
The opening chapters of 1 Samuel gives us fore-types of those whom the Lord will use to correct the false worship and prepare the ground for Israelâs true King. Notice however, the Scriptures do not just merely highlight the iniquities of the nation and its clergy, but also instructs ministries for the redemptive process.  It is not enough for us to just speak out and cast down, but we must also be involved in the building up, as it were, to  âprepare the highways to be straightenedâ.
Firstly we see Hannah lamenting, interceding and crying out to God in his temple for the reproach, shame and slander that has been afflicted upon her and the promises of God. Whilst the sons of Eli party on, she is found making scared vows to the Lord asking for deliverance.
Secondly the vows that she does make for the son are not merely for him alone to be in the temple ministry, but as a Nazertite, to be a person completely surrendered over to the service of God in holiness. There is a raising up of a ministry that not only succeeds the current one, but exceeds in its devotion and example to the people of God. As Yeshua states in Matthew 5:20, "For I say to you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven." It is not enough for us to decry the faults and yet have the same lax standards in our own households. (Romans 2)
Lastly we see in 1 Samuel 2:27 that the warning given by the man of God and Samuel were  in order to impart to the Lordâs people the forceful understanding, that He indeed is Holy and will judge his ministers. Such judgment was not  to be a random accident, but a foretold casting out of the temple of the corrupt leaders so true worship could be re-established. (John 2:13)
Eli, his house , the temple, and Shiloh were eventually destroyed by the Philistines (Psalm 78:40, Jeremiah 7:4), as was Jerusalem by the Romans. Perhaps in this one tragic sense  the âDays of Elijahâ  ironically foreshadow this coming  prophetic act.
For as it says in Malachi 5:5:
âBehold, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the LORD.â

Honeywell posts stronger performance materials earnings
1:41 PM MDT | July 18, 2014 | Lindsay Frost
Honeywell says that profit in its performance materials and technologies (PMT) segment was $475 million, up 8% from the prior year. Segment revenue rose 6% year-on-year (YOY), to $2.6 billion. Segment profit and margin were driven by productivity gains and higher volume partially offset by price and raw material headwinds in resins and chemicals as well as an unfavorable UOP catalyst shipment mix versus the prior year. Higher revenues were driven by UOP catalyst and gas processing growth as well as higher sales in advanced...

Forget you ever saw it. Scientists now believe that all taste sensations come from all parts of the tongue. Many of us were taught that different tastes come from different regions of the tongue, but this is most likely due to a misinterpretation of a paper published in 1901 that showed minute differences in flavor detection levels across the tongue. Another thing missing from the chart is the fifth widely recognized taste, "umami." Umami is the savory taste of nucleotides and glutamate. Cheese, mushrooms, and fish are all foods that have a high concentration of umami.
While we are on the topic of taste; tastes in books, movies, and music can be even more varied than tastes in foods.

I am one of those athletes you never heard of because I am no Lance Armstrong.
In 1980 I won the Indiana State Olympic weightlifting championships in the 181-pound class with a Snatch of 250 and a C&J of 305. I had high hopes of going to the Olympics in 1984.
In 1981 during a stroll across the Purdue campus with a good bodybuilder friend, he asked me how the lifting was going. I told him that I was lifting about 260/330 now. He asked how long had I been on steroids. I responded that I had never touched steroids.
Slightly excited, he told me that he would be glad to give me the name of a disreputable doctor who, for $80 of blood tests, would give me a prescription for all the steroids I would need. My friend told me that in a year or two, I would be lifting about 350/450. I told him I would think about it. It subsequently dawned on me that I would never make the Olympics without drugs. I never competed again.
I chose not to use steroids because good parenting taught me that cheating is wrong.
If you are a teenager or parent of a teenager considering steroids, it is essential to understand the damage to body and soul that results. One of my heroes, Rick Holbrook, died prematurely at 60. 1972 Mr. America Steve Michalik had multiple near-death experiences because of steroid abuse. Steve Stanko was killed by steroids. Some steroid abusers suffer the loss of about half of their cardio capacity. Armstrong is an example of the moral damage: now exposed as a greedy, sniveling liar and never really a good cyclist. The drug use corrupted him.
Steroid abuse is inherently, metaphysically corrupt and immoral because the gains that may result do not come from the hard work of the user. Steroids corrupt the user because the user lives in denial of where the gains came from. If you claim that steroid use is victimless, tell that to the multiple people now suing Armstrong. Tell that to Stanko's wife and kids. Tell that to the many young people who admired Armstrong and now know he is a cheater.
It turned out that with an 800-pound total I would have won as many as 10 consecutive national championships. I could have been the Lance Armstrong of Olympic weightlifting. But I am just an average Rufus Q. Hoosier who chose the American way — do the right thing — instead of cheating. And 32 years later I have no damage to my body and no damage to my soul — and I am no Lance Armstrong.

Using different herbs
If you don't have any mint to hand, you can use basil or dill instead. Both add a delicious, herby freshness to this dish.
- Boil the potatoes in a large pan for 4 mins. Tip in the peas and beans, bring back up to a boil, then carry on cooking for another 3 mins until the potatoes and beans are tender. Whizz the olive oil, lemon zest and juice and mint in a blender to make a dressing(or finely chop the mint and whisk into the oil and lemon).
- Put the salmon in a microwave-proof dish, season, then pour the dressing over. Cover with cling film, pierce, then microwave on High for 4-5 mins until cooked through. Drain the veg, then mix with the hot dressing and cooking juices from the fish. Serve the fish on top of the vegetables.

For sheer speed and effortlessness this was great. For the lovely soft, flaky salmon, (in a microwave no less!) it was terrific. For the delicious ready made sauce you end up with for the vegetables - it was perfect! This is a complete winner of a dish - speedy, healthy, easy and really tasty. It's going in my binder!

12 Semi-Embarrassing Beauty Habits We're (Probably) All Guilty Of
Looking gorgeous occasionally requires some not-so-pretty activities. But you know what? These creative and strange beauty habits actually work. Let's honor those semi-embarrassing makeup, hair and skin care secrets for a change, shall we?SEE MORE
Treating every aisle at the drugstore like the beauty aisleVaseline to tame messy eyebrows, Visine to fight skin redness, Preparation H to de-puff tired eyes—they might make our roomies and partners do a double take, but boy, do they work.
Shaving here, there, um, everywhere…Nothing is off limits including your arms, your belly and even your face (hey, some VIPs say it produces collagen).
…and STILL somehow forgetting to shave those three little hairs!…around your knees, under your arms and, yes, on your big toes. It's a lot of surface area to cover, ya know?
Giving yourself a two-minute two-toe pedicureIf you don't know what that means, let's just say it involves being in a rush, a fabulous pair of sandals, a not-so-fresh pedicure and a genuine fear of the hostess with a "shoes-off" policy.
Using freebies as a mini-makeoverLike giving yourself a quick lipstick change at the local beauty counter without any intention of buying the hue.
Ignoring expiration datesDoes this bottle smell weird? If you have to ask that question, you're probably guilty of this semi-embarrassing beauty habit.
Borrowing from the boysHis shaving cream, his deodorant, his razors, his cologne. The fact that he doesn't put a lock on his side of the medicine cabinet makes you want to borrow it that much more.
Loving crazy beauty trends—from afarYou might enjoy reading articles about fillers, DIY finger waves and 3-D nail art, but you'll take some apricot scrub, a high ponytail and a baby pink manicure over a new beauty trend any day.
Sticking to the same beauty routine (for a long, long, LONG time)Like, since high school. So you found the ideal shade of lipstick when you were 13 and perfected the cat- eye flick at 14—you can't help it if you were a child genius!
Using a tooth as a substitute for a nail fileIt's semi-embarrassing when it happens at home…completely, 100 percent traumatizing when you find yourself doing it in public. Yeesh.
Using a braid or bun to hide über-dirty hairAt the office meeting. When you have a dinner that evening. What possessed you not to shower that morning? It's anyone's guess.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
Examples: 1/16 inch = 62.5 mils; 1/32 inch = 31.25 mils

A special celebration for New Boston
NEW BOSTON — If the weather cooperates, the town's Fourth of July fireworks show promises to be something to see as the 250th anniversary celebration continues.
For 82 years, New Boston has pulled out all the stops for Independence Day. The parade that winds through town is a perennial favorite, and the events at the 4-H fairgrounds offer lots of entertainment, but this year is going to be extra special, said Kerri Kelley, chairman of the 250th committee.
"We're going to have our big parade at 10 a.m. as we always do and we're expecting the floats to be spectacular," Kelley said. "This year the theme is 'New Boston History,' and it's going to be interesting to see what people come up with."
But it's when the sun goes down that the real magic is expected to happen, said Kelley.
"We've really upped the fireworks this year so as long as the weather cooperates, they're going to be amazing," she said.
The fireworks will be set off at the 4-H fairgrounds at dusk.
For the organizers of the town's 250th celebration, Fourth of July marks a sort of halfway point in a year's worth of activities, and Kelley said everyone's pleased at how all of the events held thus far have turned out.
"To have 100 plus people show up at every event tells us we're doing something right," she said. "But we're still looking forward to the other events we have planned through the rest of the year."
On July 7, the Historical Society will host an open house from 1 to 4 p.m., and at 6 p.m. there will be a band concert and ice cream social at the Gazebo.
Then on July 11 at 7:30 p.m. at the Historical Society, folks will learn how to research their family histories with Christine Sharbrough.

Between its 15th anniversary and return to London Fashion Week, Preen has a lot to celebrate this season. Though show notes cited the Vincent Gallo/Christina Ricci film Buffalo '66 and '90s minimalism as inspirations, the soundtrack of animal noises and the choice of the Natural History Museum's Darwin Centre suggested a more zoological origin story.
Patchwork animal skins and prints — stingray, python, leopard, etc. — were mixed with leather and printed onto delicate silk and organza pieces for an intriguing play on pretty meets powerful. At the top of our wish list: the asymmetrical wrap skirts, beautifully paired with a sheer-paneled white blouse.
The jungle theme soon gave way to a spray of gorgeous, pink-peony prints — someone's clearly been reading their National Geographic — with silver-foiled French lace and sheer panels appealing to our feminine instincts. Mustard leather and shots of navy and white also hit the catwalk, while spaghetti-strap dresses clearly echoed that aformentioned '90s minimalism — and for once, we're not cringing at its return.

Stressless Wave Chair, Highback
by Ekornes
The Wave Stressless Chair is a slightly different breed than it's fellow Stressless Chairs. The difference is in the look and feel of the product. While the line is committed to leather upholstery and wooden accents, they are also typically committed to a bit of funkiness in the design. The chairs are classic and modern, but oftentimes they eschew the trappings of the traditional armchair (like a completely upholstered structure) for the breezy look and "floating" quality of a Stressless. This has been true ever since the 1971 debut of the chair, but it's not so for the Wave.
The Wave Stressless Chair is unique in the line, as it closely resembles and in many places improves upon the more traditional armchair, and not the traditional recliner. The sides and support for the chair are squared, go all the way to the floor, and create a boxed look that meshes perfectly with modern furniture design. The chair is richly and luxuriously appointed (not always a hallmark of modernity), however, and comes with all the internal features of a Stressless that people the world over have come to know and love. The Glide system and the Plus system inform the ergonomic engineering of the chair, and the soft leather upholstery is a signature as well. This is a Stressless Chair fit for a living room or a boardroom, styled to perfection but still as comfortable, reclinable, and supportive as it always was.

About The ManufacturerEkornes® Stressless®
Comfort is the primary goal of the entire Stressless line. Since 1971, when they first introduced themselves to the world, Ekornes has been interested in bringing the world's most comfortable seating experience to a wider and wider audience.
Ekornes is a Norwegian company, and they made their name and reputation on the Stressless line of home furnishings. While the Stressless Recliner is undoubtedly their most significant product in a historical sense, the Ekornes Stressless Sofa concedes no ground when it comes to the three most important aspects of home furnishing design; comfort, support, and style. In this sense the sofas are not redundant products, but serious and inspired variations and continuations on a theme; total comfort, total relaxation, total balance and fit. The principles of the Ekornes lines were laid out in detail with the first recliners, but only with the advent of the Ekornes Stressless Sofa has the fullness of their vision come into clear focus.

Design StoryEvery Wave Stressless Chair is committed to three things; comfort, support, and style. You can feel the Ekornes committment to comfort as soon as you touch the chair and feel the rich leather upholstery. You can feel it in the give of the seat and the back, as well as the effortless and personal recline function. Your head, neck and shoulders, the bearers of so much stress during the day, will be at full relaxation mode when they're lying in a Wave Stressless Chair. The recline function is unique because of the Glide system, which after a single, simple adjustment at the beginning of the chair's life will automatically read your body and recline appropriately at all times, based on your particular wants and needs.
The Plus system is involved mainly in proper support, especially back support. The Wave Stressless Chair is dedicated to keeping you in good health, and a good portion of the ergonomic effort expended on the chair has gone to ensuring back, shoulder, neck and head support. The Plus system moves automatically to fill or create space between your lumbar region and the backing of the chair. It also adjusts the headrest to create the optimum comfort and support dynamic for your head, neck and shoulders.
And as far as style, the Wave Stressless Chair is very hard to beat. The elegant, simple design composed of the softest, most luxurious leather is perfect for any home, any office, and any boardroom. Smart Furniture is proud to offer our customers the Wave Stressless Chair.

Valtteri Bottas will start Sunday's Malaysian Grand Prix from 18th place on the grid after being hit with a three-place penalty for impeding.
The Williams was called up by the Sepang stewards as Daniel Ricciardo felt he had impeded him during Q2.
And the Red Bull driver reckons it's not the first time Bottas has ruined a rival's flying lap.
"He was on his out-lap," Ricciardo told Autosport "I'll have a word with him. There were a lot of times last year, to be honest...
"We raced each other a lot in the junior categories and I thought we had a lot of respect for each other, but it's a little difficult how many times he's done that now."
The stewards agreed with Ricciardo that Bottas had in fact impeded him and slapped the Finn with a three-place grid penalty, dropping him to 18th on the grid.
Bottas was a bit surprised.
"I thought it would be OK and there would be no penalties," he said.
"It was a difficult situation - we had a radio problem and in Turn 9 the team told me that I had either a gap in front or behind Ricciardo.
"So I thought I would try to stay in front. Obviously he was coming very quickly and it was a bit closer in the last few corners than maybe it should've been.
"It didn't cost him anything in the end and I wasn't sure whether he was on a timed lap or not."

TRANSPORTATION TUESDAY: Mazda's Futuristic KAAN Racer
Mazda's aggressively styled KAAN concept vehicle represents an innovative foray into the future of racing. A finalist in this year's Design Los Angeles Automobile Design Challenge, the all-electric car envisions a transit system where vehicles are propelled by roadways imbued with "a sub-level electro conductive polymer" powered by solar panel farms in the Mojave desert. The emission-free vehicle sports a sleek aerodynamic profile and is powered by electric motors encased within wheels infused with electric pickups.
This year's Design Los Angeles Automobile Design Challenge featured some incredible concept cars that sought to define the future of racing. What was remarkable about the competition was that the car designers needed to not only design the car of the future, but the actual racing system itself.
Whereas Mercedes Benz' Formula Zero Racer proposed a race judged by speed and energy consumption, Mazda's designers are proposing a vehicle that is powered by an electro-conductive polymer that has been resurfaced into the freeway. According to the designers, this would allow the vehicle to be propelled up to speeds of 250 mph with zero emissions.
The team created a series of sleek vehicles that race in groups in order to improve the aerodynamics of the team. The tighter that they are to each other, the faster that they will go, and the design of the vehicle reflects this, with the cockpit safely housing the driver, while the rather large electric motor-driven wheels propel the vehicle to victory.

Presumably it turns by adjusting the differential for the front wheels, but it would be a very wide and shuddering turn. It wouldn't be able to mount even a well-worn speed bump either. Futurmobiles running on grids are wonderful, but if you can't "off road" in an emergency you're going to be a victim of one sort or another.
Beautiful all the same.

"But let's not kid ourselves. Despite those failures by the defense and special teams, if the Miami Dolphins offense scores just 2 touchdowns against a Bills defense that allowed 37 points last week, 21 points the week before, and 35 points the week before that (so they've been bad recently), and which has, on average, allowed 28.5 points per game this season (so they've been bad this whole season), Miami wins this game. Instead, Miami's offense scored 7 points...."
"For all the talk about how awful the Defense played against the Colts, if the offense had scored just 1 touchdown in the second half of that game, Miami would have won and would have been in a position to talk wildcard with a tiebreak over the Colts. And there's no need to recap how Miami's struggles and turnovers on offense led to easy points for the Titans.
Miami's West Coast Offense is truly offensive. It looks worse than the Brian Daboll-coached offense last year, which averaged more points and more yards per game than the Mike Sherman-coached offense this year. We're losing games because of our offense can't beat the worst defenses in the NFL."

You'll never guess who loves puppy kisses as much as we do? Yep, international supermodel Irina Shayk! Irina visited our Adoption Center last year, and the impression our adorable pets made had her coming back for some more love!
During her visit, Irina met Lady, one of our sweetest senior rescue dogs. In her usual fashion, Lady's charm and playfulness turned Irina into an instant advocate for Lady's adoption. Along with her admiration of Lady, Irina expressed her hopes that animal lovers would make adoption their first option.
We absolutely loved having Irina at our Adoption Center, and we hope that she continues to spread her passion for pet adoption. Please share this video to show your support, too!

This is a project that I did several years ago, but I photographed and documented it well enough that I can do a write-up here without any trouble. Excuse the photographer, he was young and reckless.
The simple idea behind this mouse mod is taking a small motor with an offset weight on its shaft, and mounting it in a PC mouse. These motors are easy to harvest from an old rumble-equipped Playstation or Xbox controller.
Step 1: Materials and Tools
- USB optical mouse
- Off-center weighted motor ( 5V )
- Thin metal or plastic sheet
- Bondo or body filler
- Spray paint
- Spray primer
- Wire
- Switch
- Heat-shrink tubing
- Solder
Safety Equipment:
- Goggles
- Gloves
- Sanding mask
- Drill
- Tin snips
- Hot glue gun
- Sandpaper (80, 120, 220)
- Soldering iron
- Needle File
I did this in a Logitech G500, hooked up all the connections in the mouse to two copper plates on the inside of the weight cartridge slot. Then I proceeded to make a rumble pak for it that would go in the weight cartridge slot!
Just a hint, those soldering connections (+5v to the mouse button) made it act weirdly so whenever my rumble pak is on my LMB also triggers the "browser back" button. However you could either map it off the mouse with Logitech Setopint or integrate a switch in it so it only is on when you're gaming.
You would need to develop software that would send a signal to a chip inside the mouse. It easily be 30 times more work than in this Instructable. This method is just using the mouse button as a triggering method for the motor, using only hardware piggybacking on the mouse.
