Continuing to build on the great success of the Evader, the folks over at ElectriFly have introduced another quick flying, good looking, trunk sized EDF .... this time with the Lockheed Martin F-16 "Fighting Falcon". Dressed in the General Dynamics colors, the ElectriFly F-16 looks sleek from just about any angle. Powered by the same setup found in the ElectriFly Evader, the F-16 claims to be able to achieve stock speeds in the 90mph range. If my previous experience with the Evader is worth anything, I believe it will do every bit of that (and maybe even a bit more), but unlike the Evader this F-16 also promises some very nice slow speed characteristics (with a working rudder to boot!).
The F-16 Fighting Falcon is a modern multi-role jet fighter aircraft built in the United States. Designed as a lightweight fighter, it evolved into a successful multi-role aircraft. The F-16 was developed by General Dynamics. In 1993, General Dynamics sold its aircraft manufacturing business to the Lockheed Corporation, now Lockheed Martin. The Falcon's versatility is a paramount reason it was a success on the export market and is serving 24 countries. It is the largest and probably most significant Western fighter program with over 4000 aircraft built. Though no longer produced for the United States Air Force, it is still produced for export. The Fighting Falcon is regarded as a superb dogfighter with innovations such as the bubble canopy, side-mounted control stick, and reclined seat. It was also the first US fighter aircraft to match the English Electric Lightning's ability to execute 9 g (88 m/s²) turns. Although the F-16's official popular name is "Fighting Falcon," it is well known as the "Viper," the General Dynamics codename for the project during its early development. Source: Flightlevel350.com More information on the F-16 can be found here and here.
Despite the best efforts of the delivery crew to destroy my review project in-transit, the plane made it to me free of defects, and all the components accounted for in the box. The F-16 is nicely packaged, with each individual item wrapped to keep it free of dings/scratches. Upon initial inspection of the fuselage, I was impressed with the overall quality and light weight of the fuselage. The wings are built up balsa and nicely covered with some red monokote. As with the other ElectriFly electronic components, the included Ammo inrunner has its bullet connectors already soldered in place and just needs to be installed in the HyperFlow fan unit. A simple (but very effective) bungee launcher is included, as well as a display/work stand. Another pleasant surprise while inspecting the fuselage came when I noticed the pre-cut and installed rudder. The hardware bag consists of quality components and short of glue and tools, it should contain just about eveything needed to complete the build. And last but not least, the ElectriFly manual serves as an awesome guide for your build with good pictures and a text summary for each step of the process .... let's get to it!
Kit includes/features:
Kit requirements:
Tower Hobbies provided the recommended setup for my review including a R617FS 6 channel Futaba receiver, 4x micro servos (Futaba S3156s), a 4s 2200mah 20C ElectriFly Lipo battery and the required 35A Silver Series ESC. Each of the components comes individually packaged with their own respective instruction manual. As usual with ElectriFly components, the ESC and battery already have my preferred Deans connectors in place, which makes getting things installed even that much easier.
The ElectriFly manual serves as a great guide during your build. Not only does each step have a good visual representation as to what needs to happen, but there is also a detailed text description of each step as well. Assemble your HyperFlow fan unit, run it up before you insert it into the fuselage and seal it into place. Should you decide to-do anything more then run up the fan to verify its direction of rotation, you should consider building a test stand. Even fans of this size can cause a lot of harm in the event things go wrong, and it should be treated with the appropriate respect. Standard construction techniques apply with this model and nothing other then a nice allen wrench, hobby knife, and some epoxy/ca are required to get you going.
One of the cool things that ElectriFly frequently does is include a stand for your model. Not only does it help during the build if you don't already have a stand but once your model is completed it serves as a cool way to display your model as well.
The assembly of the F-16's HyperFlow 56mm fan unit starts by carefully removing a bit of extra material from the center of the fan housing and trimming away any excess "flashing" so the fiberglass adapter will easily slide into place over the rear of the plastic housing unit. Next, heat up the brass rotor adapter and slip it into place over the motor shaft ensuring the flat spot stays centered with your set screw hole. Use a little thread lock (blue is what I use), and tighten the set screw in place. Now the motor can be mounted in the fan housing using the provided hardware. Again, use a bit of threadlock to keep things snug in place, but use it sparingly as threadlock can erode some plastics. Once the motor is in place, I used a bit of medium CA to mount the stator extension to the back side of the fan unit and sanded up the fiberglass adapter to ensure it wouldn't snag or cut the motor wires in any way. After the adapter cone was prepped, I slid it into place and secured it with some thin CA. Be careful using the thin CA as it has a habit of getting into places it shouldn't very quickly. With the fan housing completed, I was then able to install the rotor which is as simple as sliding it over the brass adapter I previously mounted on the motor shaft and securing it in place with the provided 3mm screw and a dab of thread lock. With the unit now complete, I attached the motor wires and ran the unit up to verify it's direction of rotation and overall smoothness. With everything checking out as expected, it's time to mount the unit in the fuse.
NOTE: There is an addendum for this step of the kit which states the included former needs to be sanded a bit to allow it to fit into place more readily, so I decided to start there. A few minutes with some medium grit paper had my former ready to go, but as noted in the directions please do handle it carefully and don't force things into place.
Installing the completed fan unit is not difficult, but I recommend that you try it without any glue a few times to get the feel for what the "correct" install feels like once everything is aligned and installed correctly. Slip the adapter cone in place so that it keys into the tail cone, and then rotate the unit so the wires protrude from the top side of the formers (nearest the topside of the fuselage). Once you are happy with the fit, remove the fan unit and mix up a batch of 30 minute epoxy. Brush it on the fan unit sparingly, and redo the above steps but this time ensure the plywood former you sanded to fit ealrier is in place sans glue. Once the epoxy has cured, mix up a batch of 5 minute epoxy and Microballoons (epoxy will work fine by itself here), and apply a fillet between the plywood former and fuselage. Prepare the housing flange by notching it for the pushrod cutouts and making a relief cut near the bottom of it. Mount it in place with the epoxy and Microballoon technique as mentioned in the previous step, and finally cover up all those exposed wires with the fin cover.
Assembly of the wing starts by mounting the aileron servos in place into the pre-slotted holes in the underside of each wing half. Per the instructions, simply glue the servos in place after preparing them and cleaning the outer casing with rubbing alcohol. Next install the servo covers and control horns. As usual, make sure the control horn holes are aligned as close to the hinge line as possible. After the glue has dried on the control horns, install your pushrod connectors and pushrods and ensure everything is centered and works as expected via your transmitter.
Installing the wing is pretty straight forward and first requires the anti-rotation pins to be glued in place, as well as a pair of 6" extensions to be hooked up. Once each wing half is prepped, slip the aluminum wing tube thru the fuselage (my wing tube required a bit of sanding to fit smoothly), and each wing half over it respectively. Using blue painters tape (or something similar) outline where the wing panels meet the fuselage and remove both wing panels and wing tube. Using sand paper roughen up the area you outlined with the tape and clean it with rubbing alcohol. Remove your tape, re-install the wing tube, and mix up a batch of 15 or 30 minute epoxy. Push the wings over the tube and ensure they are seated all the way against the fuselage. To help make sure you don't get any epoxy in your servo leads, consider putting a piece of tape over it.
The vertical portion of the stab is molded into the fuselage, and both the horizontal and vertical control surfaces are pre-cut and hinged. As with its real life counterpart, the ElectriFly F-16 has a bit of anhedreal built into the horizontal stab. In order to ensure you get things set up square (to each other, and to the main wing), a jig has been provided to help during the build. Once the jig is assembled (very easy), slide each stabilizer half in place into the fuselage and slip the jig over them. Step back about 10 feet and verify everything is level, then mix up a batch of 30 minute epoxy. Get a popsicle stick or a small brush and apply a good amount of epoxy in the fuselage where the stabs will reside. Slide the horizontal stabs in place and clean up any excess glue with rubbing alcohol and a paper towel BEFORE you slide the jig into place. This helps ensure no remnant epoxy is left to seal your jig to the stab. Verify everything is aligned correctly and let cure before handling any further.
Hooking up the control surfaces for the tail requires the mounting of two servos in the fuselage, trimming their control arms, running the provided pushrods thru the pre-installed guides, and finally securing them in place with the screw lock pushrod connectors. Take note that the rudder pushrod is of a different length then the elevators.
The radio installation is as simple as placing your receiver under the removable cockpit, and sealing it in place with double sided tape or velcro. Once in place, run the servo leads up from the various locations throughout the fuselage and plug them into the correct port(s). Make sure you mount the receiver far enough forward as to leave enough room for the battery pack which goes right behind it.
Completing the F-16 requires the mounting of the bungee hook to the fuselage, placement of the decals, mounting of the battery, checking the C.G. of the model, and also verifying the throws on the control surfaces. I used the default throws and C.G for my maiden flight, and have yet to change them(with the exception of a bit more expo). Ready to go the F-16 weighs in at 32 ounces and is making ~470 watts @ ~31 amps.
The F-16 is a very smooth flying plane, but between its size, speed, and colors it can keep you on your toes. That's not too say that it has to be flown like a bat out of hell tho, because whether you are looking for smoking hot low passes, or low and slow high alpha airshow style passes the F-16 can pull it off. I've really enjoyed both how well the F-16 shows off its speed in larger venues with more open areas as well as how it handles itself in tighter venues like small parks and what not. Inverted flight, loops, rolls, etc. are all possible with the stock power system on 4s, and the plane has good vertical to boot getting the plane to a point where it's hard to see pretty quick with a little bit of steam behind it. The rudder is always a nice option to have in any flight condition, and I'm certain a more proficient pilot could use it to knife-edge properly but to be honest I haven't attempted one as I always manage to massacre them regardless of the airframe I try them with.
Between the good amount of thrust provided by the HyperFlow fan unit and the bungee, takeoffs are a no brainer with the F-16 .... so much so I've yet to try and handlaunch the F-16 as the manual states you can. Simply stake the bungee in the ground, hook the F-16 up to the tow ring, step back about 25 paces, select full throttle and let her rip! Once under the bungees pull, let the plane build momentum and keep the planes nose just above the horizon and the wings level. Try not to make any abrupt movements until the place has released from the hook.
With the F-16s slow speed handling characteristics it should come as no surprise that landing this plane is not all that difficult and when compared to the similarly powered Evader this thing just gets silly slow during final approach. I've found the F-16 can be landed one of two ways. Either with a higher speed and a shallower glide slope, or with a higher angle of attack and slower airspeeds. My first flights I found myself being a bit more conservative with the jet as I wasn't sure just how far I could push it before it would bite back and found myself using approach style #1 (fast, shallow approach angle), which resulted in the plane sliding on the grass a bit but without any damage at all. On my fourth or fifth flight, after a few minutes of spirited flying I hit LVC, but fortunately I was coming into the wind and was far enough down field to make it back near us. As the plane coasted in, I held it off the ground and kept feeding in back stick until the F-16 was in a very high alpha about 5 - 10 feet off the ground with very little forward velocity. Keeping these inputs the plane eventually just plopped down in the grass resting there letting me know just how slow and agile this plane can be for those more 'targeted' approaches. Whether it's landing style #1 or #2 that suits your fancy, the F-16 gives you options and is pretty straightforward to get back on the ground whichever way you choose.
The F-16 is not geared towards a beginner. I suggest you build up your skills a bit before you attempt to fly the F-16. Any pilot with a moderate to advanced skill level shouldn't have any issues flying this plane.
All in all I've enjoyed both building and flying the F-16. Take your time assembling the fan unit and make sure you try and get it as smooth as possible before you mount everything in place, it'll payoff in performance and reliability. Overall the F-16 is one of those "fly it up close, fly it far away, fly it fast, or fly it slow" kind of planes. With it's smaller size, good looks, and wide flight envelope I suspect I'll be seeing a few more of these at flying fields around me this summer.

Your review is a masterpiece, but by now I have learned to expect no less from you. Bravo!!
Where you have outdone even your usual excellence is in the layout. It is terrific and absolutely professional. A few of our authors come close, but none touches this one!
I for one would be appreciative if you would start a topic on the authors' page and each week instruct us in one of your techniques. Sure, I have tried to teach myself by going to "view source" and downloading a mass of code, but I'm sure you could simplify things and spoon feed us HTML novices one technique at a time.
Well, hats off to you. And, oh! by the way. That's a terrific airplane.
Thanks for the kind words Albert! I'm hoping to get this thing out again this weekend for some more flights on it
I have the Evader and love the way it flies. I agree with the fan access, but once together I felt no need to change power systems. The Evader is one planes that actually performs just as described. So I imagine that the F-16 really does perform well also.
If they could just get rid of the cheater then I would love these even more.
The evader is a led sled for the size, the fuse&mold work is so cheesy they have to bondo it up to take paint. Makes me thinks this one's a turd also.
Too bad the shoddy manufactures don't use epoxy.

I own and fly both the Evader and the F-16. The Evader is a bit quicker than the F-16 but the F-16 includes a rudder. These planes may be a little on the heavy side but they are a huge improvement over the typical foamy. My Evader with Wicked motor easily hits 110 mph and that is pretty quick for this size plane. I think Electrifly have hit a home run with both of these birds.
Why? it is what it is, all the blown smoke in the world won't change its status.
Remember what WC Fields said? To be polite, my version is "Buyer Beware"

Nice review Don. I enjoyed watching the video and seeing how the plane could perform and it supported your conclusions in my eyes. I haven't seen one in person but saw an Evader fly a number of times at the West Coast 75 Birthday party over Labor Day weekend and people stopped and watched every time it flew. I even bought raffle tickets trying to win one in the raffle but no such luck. Thanks for the review. Mike H

Right to work proponents are taking another run at the Legislature with House Bill 323. While we continue to support giving workers the right to choose whether to pay union dues, HB 323 is dead on arrival.
Even when the Republican-controlled House, under Speaker Bill O'Brien, mustered support the veto-proof Republican Senate deep-sixed the effort the last time the battle was fought. Now with Democrat's dominating the House under Speaker Terie Norelli, right to work doesn't stand a snowball's chance in Hades of going anywhere.
But before we bid farewell to another failed effort, we would like to bring readers' attention to one of the most salient reasons we can find for supporting right to work. And oddly, it doesn't come from a right-to-work proponent.
Writing for the American Prospect, Richard Yeselson lays out an eloquent and persuasive case for rejecting right-to-work legislation. But buried deep within his more than 2,000-word essay is the seed for a rebirth of the union movement.
He writes:
"There is an argument sometimes made by union activists that unions should run persuasion campaigns to collect dues because the workers are more invested and supportive of an energized organization than when dues are passively/invisibly collected on a union's behalf. There is some evidence that this is true. For example, the most powerful local union in the country, Culinary 226 in Las Vegas — a political powerhouse that ensures middle-class wages and benefits for hotel housekeepers — operates in a right-to-work state and gets close to 100% dues compliance. Thus the Culinary local has the classic 'free rider' problem — but the union solves the problem itself through its intense advocacy."
Unfortunately for those who believe there should be a future for the union movement, Yeselson quickly dismisses the notion. Essentially, he says the union movement is too lazy to take on the challenge which could breathe new life into unionism.
"However, the invisibility and ease of collecting union dues in the non-right-to-work states has paradoxically made unions more dependent on these 'automatic' functions than ever," continues Yeselson. "In short, most local unions today are logistically and, often, intellectually, atrophied. They lack the esprit, borne of success and militancy, of Culinary 226."
Yeleson's comments make some of the same points we have made in past editorials supporting right to work. While supporters argue the union movement accomplished much at one time — wage and hour laws, limits on child labor, etc. — there is no doubt the heirs to the power of Samuel Gompers have failed. Even in the eyes of union loyalists, they have failed to live up to the ideals of American Federation of Labor, which Gompers co-founder then served as its first president.
If New Hampshire's union movement had the guts and gumption of Gompers, it would take up the challenge to so solidify its support among union workers that right to work would little impact membership — as in the case of Culinary 226 in Las Vegas.

Maintaining Integrity: Effects of SIP Sterilization on PTFE Valve Diaphragms
As PTFE diaphragms are subjected to more aggressive sterilization and cooling conditions, they are more prone to failure from cracking, splitting, deformation and SIP steam-induced blisters.
Steam-in-place (SIP) sterilization is an essential process in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers Bioprocessing Equipment (ASME-BPE) standard recommends diaphragm valves for aseptic and sterile systems. Weir-type sanitary valves with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) diaphragms are most commonly used in these systems, but sanitary diverter valves and valves with hermetic PTFE diaphragm stem seals are also used extensively.
Typical SIP cycle temperature parameters are 120°C to 135°C at corresponding saturated steam pressure, with exposure time dependent on system design and complexity [1]. The ASME-BPE 2009 Standard Appendix J for simulated SIP cycle parameters calls for minimum 130°C steam and one hour exposure [2]. Overkill SIP parameters are minimum 140°C steam for two to four hours exposure. These SIP cycles are cooled slowly with pressurized clean air.
To achieve more frequent batch changes and greater production yields, some in the pharmaceutical industry have begun to use high-temperature, short-time (HTST) sterilization systems with SIP temperatures ranging from 140°C to 160°C [3]. These SIP cycles are cooled more quickly with air or water, often resulting in blistering of PTFE diaphragms, posing sterility problems if not detected early enough and reducing their service lives.
Recently, we did our own experimentation to investigate this phenomenon. This article will discuss the types of valves and diaphragms tested, the test equipment and procedures used, analysis of blistered PTFE diaphragms, the mechanics of blister formation, and what can be done to alleviate it.
Diaphragm Variability
Modern pharmaceutical and bioprocessing plants have large aseptic systems of vessels, fermentors and bioreactors interconnected by a maze of piping. Integral to these systems are diaphragm valves, which the ASME-BPE standard recommends for pharmaceutical and bioprocessing applications with product contact [2]. The types of diaphragm valves recommended are weir-type, diverting and other two-piece stem and plug valves with diaphragm stem seals.
The most commonly used diaphragm valves are weir-type (Figure 1). These valves provide the self-draining capability required for hygienic processing. Usually made of 316L stainless steel, the valves are supplied with either manual or automated actuators.
The heart of a weir valve is the PTFE diaphragm. As shown in Figure 1, the two-piece diaphragms consist of a PTFE face layer and EPDM elastomer backing, which provides resiliency and compression during valve actuation. Having no center hole, the PTFE diaphragm isolates the product from the valve stem and actuator mechanism. PTFE diaphragms are used in critical, high-temperature SIP applications and with harsh chemicals.
|Figure 1. Weir-type Sanitary Valve with PTFE/EPDM Diaphragm
PTFE polymers are known for their high purity, exceptional non-adhering properties, chemical resistance, and temperature capabilities up to 260°C. These polymers have ultra-low-level extractables, conforming to FDA 21 CFR 177.1550 and USP28 Class VI Part 87 and 88. Chemically, biochemically, and enzymatically inert, they have wide acceptance in pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.
PTFE polymers are grouped into two types: conventional, which are white in appearance, and modified, which are more translucent. Containing up to one percent perfluoropropyl vinyl ether (PPVE), modified PTFE compounds represent the next generation of PTFE polymers, available in a number of different grades. Compression molded parts of modified PTFE have a lower percentage of voids and lower permeation rates for liquid and vapor chemicals and helium gas. Modified PTFE diaphragm disks typically offer a 30% reduction in permeability for different chemicals [4].
Pictured in Figure 2 are conventional and modified PTFE diaphragms for weir-type valves. The diaphragms are manufactured by compression-molding powder resin, followed by sintering. The threaded drive stud in the center is usually a molded-in metal bolt or machined from PTFE stock, as seen in the round conventional PTFE diaphragm. Some valve manufacturers mold their own diaphragms, while others purchase them from distributors. Pharmaceutical and bioprocessing facilities also purchase replacement diaphragms based on published dimensional specifications, service temperature ratings, and certification of conformance to applicable FDA and USP regulations. Distributors publish maximum intermittent steam temperatures or SIP sterilization capabilities up to 165°C for PTFE/EPDM diaphragms.
Differences in production processes and grades result in PTFE diaphragms with different performance properties and durability. PTFE diaphragms manufactured by some processes cannot withstand high-temperature applications or meet the demands of SIP sterilization.
|Figure 2. Conventional and Modified PTFE Diaphragms for Weir-type Valves
Diaphragm Integrity and Performance
SIP cycles consist of three stages—heat-up, hold/exposure and cool-down. During the heat-up stage, saturated steam is injected, and the equipment with valves is heated to the required sterilization temperature. This stage is complete when the cold spot in the system—usually the condensate drain, dead leg, tank bottom, or furthest location from steam inlet—reaches the pre-set sterilization temperature. When a thermocouple probe at the slowest heating location reaches this temperature, the hold or exposure stage begins, during which both pressure and temperature must be accurately controlled. Exposure time is typically 30 to 45 minutes at 20 to 30 psi with corresponding steam temperatures of 121°C to 135°C [5]. For systems with hard-to-access areas, exposure times will be longer.

The Farmer looked surprised.
"Mirkwood? Why would you leave Bree-land and travel all the way to such a distant land?"
Lindeman replied: "I was discussing the place with a few adventurers and got a little carried away".
In the same way as in Rialo's "Trip to Forochel" thread, I would like to let you know that my character Lindeman will be travelling from Bree to Mirkwood. I invite anyone who might be interested in RP to join in on the journey.
In practise I will be slowly advancing Lindeman towards the destination in-game and will do some instances on the way. The journey might take a full month in real life time, since there is no hurry and I'm not sure how often I will be playing. So the RP campaign has very much a "hop-on, hop-off" quality for anyone who might join.
The start of the journey will probably be within a few days. I tend to play evenings European time. The best way to follow progress might be my twitter, which is listed in my signature.
There is little other plot than the misguided idea about "capturing the necromancer", the travelling and some RP excuses that lead to doing instances such as Stand at Amon Sul, Bruinen Gorges and others. Once in Mirkwood, Volume 2 Book 9 can be done.
Lindeman is level 60, and it would make sense for others characters to be at least level 45. Players should make an effort to keep as much talk as possible In-Character.
You can let me know if you are interested and leave other feedback here or by in-game mail.

Yesterday, the technology world was full of this whole "market capitalisation" thing where Apple overtook Microsoft and became the biggest technology company in the world. Illustrating the futility of this stuff, the situation has already been reversed today, but before the end of the day, Apple may overtake Microsoft again. Or not. Or it may start raining unicorns. No, we're not going to keep track of this stuff. I'm just mentioning it here so nobody can accuse us of being anti-Apple. So, here it goes: for one night, Apple was the biggest technology company in the world by market capitalisation. I hugged my Macs and iPhone.

- I love how I can clean the whole apartment in a few hours. Everything has a place, and everything is in reach. It feels really manageable for a young person living in the city. I get to see and use everything that I love every day; nothing is shut away in an unused space.
- Biggest Challenge of Living in a Small Space:
- My biggest challenge has been privacy. In a small apartment - everything is on display. One of my favorite solutions is the murphy bed. Not only does it free up the space, but it also means tucking away an unmade bed every morning, and not having people hang out on my bed (which always skeeved me out). Additionally, I tried to incorporate a lot of closed storage. I can create the illusion of being organized... just don't open anything!

- My lease is up later this year, and I have a strong hunch that the rent is about to go up, up, up. I'll either use the money to be able to afford to stay - or apply it towards moving. I do love my place, but I wouldn't mind a more functional kitchen. I'm trying to cook a lot more, and this apartment has been more conducive to takeout.

CAIRO (Reuters) - Egypt's parliamentary elections, previously scheduled to begin on April 27, have been brought forward to start on April 22, the presidential spokesman said on his Facebook page on Saturday.
Members of Egypt's Coptic Christian minority had criticised the planned timing of the elections because some voting would take place during their Easter holiday.

kgmiller needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 94 designs submitted by 35 freelance designers.
I need a logo for my web/software development company. I'm looking for that perfect logo - simple, clean, organic, timeless. If you are a great designer who understands balance, I'm hoping you will submit a design to this contest. I'm looking forward to your work!
KGMD - K.G. Miller Development (kgmdevelopment.com)
I am looking for a clean logo for KGMD that can be used anywhere. K.G. Miller Development is my personal development company. I own a few other software companies - but this is the one I will keep forever, serving as a platform for new development ideas, projects, and frameworks. I've not done much with the site as of yet (too busy!!) but I will soon put up a blog and links to download some projects I'm planning on releaseing as open source. I'm currently running a few custom software development projects through this company, so a tight logo is in order. I've come up with about 10 versions myself - but the whole thing is driving me nuts and I can't decide what of my own work I like. So, I've decided to see what the design community can offer me. The right designer could land a significant amount of business with me if I'm impressed by their work on this little project. Also - I'm a big fan of modern design: Dwell (http://www.dwell.com/) is one of my favorite magazines and I often draw inspiration from architecture. The art hanging in my house and office are primarily peices from Dali, Kandinsky, and Rothko - if that helps at all :).
- I'm looking for an organic logo with clean lines. Minimalist but not subdued. Architectural inspiration.
- KGMD should be the primary logo. It would be excellent if K.G. Miller Development in small text could somehow work with the logo when needed.
- A logo "icon" would be nice, but I can also see some interesting things being done with just the letters themselves - is there a way they can flow into eachother perhaps?
- I'm open to use of gradients, but the logo should have enough of a bold shape to look good in a solid black or white.
- If it is possible to make something structural and organic at the same time - that is what I am looking for.
- Logo should be delivered in Vector format, compatible with Adobe Illustrator CS2
- Cheese. No cheese please :)
- Rainbows colors? - not real big on those for this project.
- Pastels - no thank you.
- Cheap designs. Please don't waste your time

They Don't Make Me Quake with Joy!

Posted by Anonymous on 2012-07-19
I founded and led a company locally to Philadelphia which I took all the way to a successful FDA approval and an exit - the company was acquired by a big pharma. Over the years I've met and interacted with most of the people employed at this VC as well as swapped notes with other local CEOs. The bottom line is always the same - they listen to the pitch, create some busy work and then silence. I can't think of any substantial investment that they made as a lead in the recent past - they seem to be managing current portfolio only. They are time wasters.PRIVATE: Members Only (185 Characters)

Using their cell phones during class was once a taboo, but Glenbard Township High School District 87 students are now encouraged to bring their devices to class as part of ongoing district efforts to enhance student learning through technology.
The District 87 Board of Education approved a new policy to establish the "Bring Your Own Technology" program Aug. 26 to allow students to use smartphones and tablets in class, based on teacher discretion.
This latest initiative joins a pilot program started last year in the district that puts iPads in the hands of students in two to four classes at each Glenbard high school in order to test the full integration of technology in the classroom before implementing any program on a large scale.
In Cindy McManus' Honors Spanish IV class at Glenbard South, which is part of the pilot, students use their iPads every day for various activities, such as individual and group assignments and in-class assessments that allow both McManus and her students to see their results instantly.
The iPads provide students with access to various applications and resources and allow them to work at their own pace, rather than following along in a lecture-style class, McManus said.
The district's ultimate goal is to extend a similar program to all students, although what exactly that would look like and how it would be implemented remains undecided as the district continues to evaluate what's been done so far, said Robert Lang, District 87 director of instructional technology.
This goal and the technological steps necessary to reach it are part of the district's Instructional Technology Strategic Plan, which outlines actions through August 2014. However, as evaluations continue, the proposed actions and timeline could change, Lang said.
Teachers who were interested in being part of the pilot program applied with the district and received training. The classes chosen represent a wide cross-section of the district based on subject and grade level, in order to test the integration of technology in a variety of academic settings, he said.
As part of the pilot, the participating students each received an iPad that remains with them even when the school day ends, Lang said.
About 200 iPads were purchased for this year's pilot for $479 each, said Nate Dhamers, director of technology. These iPads join about 200 others that were purchased for last year's pilot, since additional classes were added to the pilot this year.
With the Bring Your Own Technology program, an increased use of technology may be enjoyed by all students. However, the degree to which devices are used is up to teachers and no student is required to bring a device to class, he said.
For students who either don't have a smartphone or tablet or aren't comfortable using it in class, teachers wishing to incorporate that type of technology improvise, oftentimes by grouping students together to share, Lang said.
The district is in the process of providing teachers with iPads and training them to use the devices in class as part of current and future technological intitiatves. At this time, about 75 percent of teachers across the district have received training, with the remaining quarter to be trained this semester, he said.
As part of this training, about 480 iPads have been purchased for teachers who are not part of the pilot program, Lang said.
So far, McManus said she hasn't encountered any technological challenges with the iPads that she wasn't able to address.
"I have always found technology to be an important part of what we do as teachers in the classroom with our students," McManus said.

NORTH DARTMOUTH, Mass. - Visiting Salve Regina scored touchdowns on four returns and outscored the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's football team, 28-3 in the second half en route to a 57-21 New England Football Conference Boyd Division game victory at Cressy Field Saturday. In the process, the Seahawks extend the longest winning streak in Division III football to 12 straight victories.
The Corsairs broke on top early when Cosgrove hit freshman wide receiver Abiola Abonshade (Attleboro, Mass.) with a 38 yard scoring pass less than four minutes into the first quarter to make it 7-0. SRU tied it when Osols couldn't handle the snap on a punt and freshman Jeff Avery (White Plains, N.Y.) picked up the loose ball and scored from 14 yards out to tie the score. UMD took a 9-7 lead when senior defensive back Joune Fraser (Barnstable, Mass.) tackled SRU senior running back Connor Kelly (Milford, Conn.) in the end zone for a safety later in the first quarter, then Osols added a 32-yard field goal on the ensuing possession to make it 12-7.
Cosgrove connected with junior wide receiver Kiki Louis (Lowell, Mass.) on an 80-yard scoring pass to make it 18-7 2:26 into the second quarter after Osols' PAT was blocked. But Kelly scored barely two minutes later on a one-yard run, Wilken connected with sophomore wide receiver Matthew Traynor (Secaucus, N.J.) on a 45-yard scoring play, junior wide receiver Paul Panarelli(Shrewsbury, Mass.) returned a punt 41 yards for a score and the Seahawks recorded a safety to make it 29-21, SRU at halftime.
The Corsairs scored first in the second half on a 35-yard field goal by kicker Edgar Osols' (Summit, N.J.) to cut the Seahawks' lead to 29-21. One possession later, junior defensive back Joshua Burnett recovered a fumble in the air after a pass completion by Corsair freshman quarterback Liam Cosgrove (Plymouth, Mass.) and raced 27 yards to score to make it 36-21. Senior linebacker Kevin Hilliard (North Reading, Mass.) intercepted Cosgrove on the ensuing possession and returned it to the UMD 25. One play later, SRU sophomore quarterback Steven Wilken (Ringwood, N.J.) raced 24 yards to score to make it 43-21.
Wilken capped an 88-yard drive with a 16 yard pass to senior wide receiverTrey Scales (Boston, Mass.) in the fourth quarter to make it 50-21 before sophomore defensive back Phil Terio (Trumbull, Conn.) returned an interception 68 yards for the final score of the game.
Cosgrove completed 24 of 45 passes for 235 yards and two scores for UMD, with 10 different receivers catching passes. Wilken was 19 of 30 for 326 yards for SRU, with Scales catching six passes for 146 yards. Kelly carried 20 times for 65 yards.
Fraser made 11 tackles, including eight solo stops, made an interception and broke up a pass. Senior linebacker Anthony Hannon (Orange, Calif.) had nine stops, including six solos for Salve Regina, two tackles for seven yards in lost yardage, a forced fumble and a sack. There were 13 turnovers in the game.
UMass Dartmouth dropped to 1-5 and 1-2 in the NEFC Boyd Division with the defeat, while Salve Regina improved to 6-0 and 3-0 with the victory. The Corsairs will return to action when they visit Nichols next Saturday. Salve Regina will host Curry next Saturday.

Night of the Werewolf (US - DVD R1)
Gabe barks at the moon and checks out the first of BCI's new Naschy collection...
In the 1600s Waldemar Daninsky (Paul Naschy) is sentenced to an execution along with a coven of witches under the service of the Bloody Lady of Čachtice, Elizabeth Bathory. Daninsky the Wolf Man has a silver dagger plunged through his heart, and an iron mask nailed to his face, and is left to rot in a tomb for centuries. Finally, in the 1980s, the dagger is removed by grave robbers, and Daninsky returns to his grim life, fighting against Bathory in a desperate struggle for atonement.
I talked a lot about Spanish horror icon Paul Naschy (real name Jacinto Molina) when I reviewed the German release of one of his best films, The Hunchback of Rue Morgue, a few months back. I kind of figured I wouldn't be reviewing any more Naschy flicks any time soon, so I kind of went all out. Little did I know BCI Video was preparing an entire region one Naschy collection.
This collection doesn't really get off to a great start unfortunately, as Night of the Werewolf (aka: El Retorno del Hombre-Lobo and on US home video The Craving) isn't exactly the ex-body builder's best. In fact, it may be my least favourite among the Naschy films I've seen. In 1980 the man had already played the Wolfman Waldemar Daninsky eight times throughout the late '60s through the '70s by my count (and would play him three more times later), but this would mark the first time he would direct himself in the role. Naschy isn't a weak director, but he only has himself to blame for this weak script (and by Naschy terms that's saying a lot).
I should probably make it known that I'm not really a fan of the Hombre Lobo series on the whole. They're kind of repetitive, the character being the only corresponding factor between them, and the plots usually consist of Daninsky brooding, having a few awkward sex scenes, and chomping into throats. They're fun in parts, but with the possible exception of Night of the Howling Beast, I've pretty much always lost interest before the end credits have rolled.
The problem I have with Night of the Werewolf is the same problem I have with the rest of the series–it's really slow. Unlike some of Naschy's better films, the exploitative elements (i.e.: sex and violence) are few and far between, and though I respect the Hell out of Naschy for filming in and around real Spanish castles, the gothic elements aren't enough to reel me in visually. The gothic look is really pushed in most positive reviews of the film, but to me 'gothic' is a hard earned title. Gothic are equal parts visual and narrative feel. Mario Bava is gothic, Taxi Driver is gothic, Night of the Werewolf is a cheesy horror flick filmed on Gothic locations.
I'm coming up to a bit of a writer's block here, because there isn't much to say about a film that is so obliviously campy. This is a case of glass half full or empty. Hardcore Naschy fans will find my review worthless, and even passing fans may enjoy this film, but to the uninitiated I can't recommend the film. The opening sequence where Báthory and her followers are sentenced to death is a nice start, and the corny credit score is golden (which is apparently taken from Tentacoli, which starred John Huston, Shelley Winters, and Henry Fonda!), even placing the film in the (then) modern era rather than the middle ages like so many of El Hombre Lobo's other adventures is a step in the right direction, and opens a whole new can of camp appeal. Unfortunately the film as a whole is not equal to these parts.
Bad movie or not, the folks at BCI Eclipse have done a bang up job with this transfer. The flick is old and the negative was most likely mal-kempt, and this shows in the form of dirt and artefacts. The contrast and colours are right on, something that can't be said for a lot of other older Spanish horror films on DVD, which are often faded and very high contrast. Details aren't as sharp I may've liked, but are at least consistent, as dark areas are just as discernible as light ones. I've seen better work out of Blue Underground and Anchor Bay, but for a smaller studio this Spanish horror series is off to a great start.
I often prefer watching European horror films dubbed, especially if they're of a 'cheesy' nature. Sometimes the bad lip-sync and listless acting will be a positive addition to my viewing experience. The majority of films from the area and era are recorded without sound anyway, and often star multilingual casts. Needless to say I was happy listening to the remixed English 5.1 Dolby Digital track. The track is pretty much identical to the mono English track, which I see as a good thing. Only the bass and musical score really benefit from the remixing. The film's score, I should say, is one of its finest assets, and is truly disturbing in some parts.
Overall both tracks, and the alternate mono Castilian track, are often distorted and muddled. The sound often peaks at higher levels and ends up buzzing. Vocals are usually discernible, but the crackling of an old track is still pretty obvious. There are a few cases of audio drop-out as well, but they're all very brief.
Though not exactly overflowing with extras, Naschy fans should be content. The film is preceded by a special message from the man himself, looking a bit haggard, and the seriousness to which he takes these films is endearing. Love the guy. After watching the movie, we are treated to the alternate Spanish title sequences (which are exactly the same as the English one, but in Spanish), an international trailer, and three different still galleries, one of which features my favourite, poster art. The set's most enduring extra is its booklet, featuring liner notes from Naschy expert Mirek Lipinski. Very informative.
So I didn't really like this one, but stay tuned for reviews of the further adventures of everyone's favourite Spanish horror-monger. So far BCI Eclipse is doing right by the man, and I only feel valid complaining about the distortion on the audio tracks. Next up: Vengeance of the Zombies.

sorry Mr. Powers, won't talk trash about that movie again. but I think you misunderstand me though. I don't hate the movie, it's quite the opposite, I just thought that some of the scenes could have been trimmed down. just goes on forever
but this is a "night of the werewolf" TB not a "Deathproof" TB so i'll just shut up

For Some Graduates, College Isn't Worth the Debt
Roughly a Quarter Earn Barely More Than Those With High-School Diploma
Roughly a quarter of college graduates with jobs are earning barely more than those with only a high-school diploma, stoking debate about whether too many Americans are sinking into too much student debt with too little to show for it.
The new research, released by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on Thursday, shows that, overall, a college degree significantly boosts income. The median wage of an American with a bachelor's degree was $48,000 last year, far higher than the $25,052 earned by those with only a high-school...

My wife and I like to run (I'm training for a half marathon and she's prepping for a full) and we like to take our 1 1/2 year old Scarlett out with us so she gets exercise too. We don't ever run faster than a 10 minute mile (I know we're slow). Usual week is 3 days of about 3-3.5 miles and one long run on Sundays of increasing length.
The farthest we have taken her is 5 miles at a 12 minute per mile pace.
Are we over doing it with her or is this OK? She always seems to enjoy it and once in a while she will wear her Ruff Wear Approach Pack to carry our water, cell phone, keys, etc. Her pack is never loaded down.
We just don't want to do any damage to her. A friend of ours also told us not to take her on runs that long because it will build up her stamina and she'll never get tired and will use her extra energy as aggression. Is that true?
How much running is too much?

How much running is too much?
I would be most concerned about the surface you are running on. Hard surfaces such as city concrete can be vey rough on joints and lead to problems down the line. She's at that age when her bones and joints are about to their adult formation, but as with any high impact events, it's never a bad idea to have x-rays before making long runs a routine thing. If there happens to be some joint abnormalities that haven't made their existence known yet, such high impact physical activity can cause damage.
And no, more exercise, combined with proper mental stimulation, is not going to result in "aggression". It results in a happier, healthier dog.

Re: How much running is too much?
My old lady Lucy used to go on 10-15 mile bike runs 5-6 days a week. We used to joke that she ran more miles in one year than most people drive. On the runs (my FIL and I) would stick to mainly packed dirt paths. She didn't start running that many miles until she was 3-4 years old, and was gradually worked up to that distance. Lucy is now 12 years old and can still manage 2-3 miles at a slightly slower pace. The runs are her outlet, they keep her fit, trim, healthy and happy.
Re: How much running is too much?
As long as you increase distances gradually, she should be fine.

December is upon us. I have neglected my blog even more than my garden for the last couple of weeks, so apologies to any regular readers who thought I had fallen down the proverbial plug hole. Some low level renovations made me briefly computer-less, followed by the usual ups and downs of a household at this time of year, but I am planning to more than make up for lost time this month, so brace yourselves.
A few months ago, I saw a post from Melinda at Melbourne Larder about making good use of food magazines. In one month, she had made more than 10 recipes from a recent Gourmet Traveller. I was impressed because - brace yourselves - my name is Suzie and I am a food porn addict. I don't just enjoy them; I mainline food magazines. As well as filed and orderly collections of magazines I am keeping, there are piles of unsorted magazines hidden in various corners around the house. I have an enormous box of unsorted clippings from magazines that have been sent off to recycling, plus three largish scrapbooks of sorted recipes. Whenever I find myself out and about with some time to kill before collecting the kids, going to an appointment, or meeting a friend, I tend to dive into a newsagency and collect another hit. Which all wouldn't be nearly as wicked if I actually used them a bit more instead of just conjuring up hypothetical meals in my head.
So I dropped a note to Melinda suggesting some sort of monthly challenge, and after an exchange of emails, we have decided to play. Our plan is to pick a different magazine each month, try and cook and review and post as much as possible from it in the month. If anyone else decides to join in, they are more than welcome, just drop a comment in to either Melinda or me. No more rules or pressure than that. This month's choice is Australian Gourmet Traveller, December 2009. And tentatively, this project of ours is called "We Made It". Which, incidentally, is how I feel by the time I get to December.
So first recipe off the rank was a mixed tomato salad with sumac, herbs and flatbread. At this time of year, the available varieties of tomatoes spin out from the usual choices of Italian, vine-ripened or bog standard to a gorgeous palette of shapes and sizes and colours. And the recipe is not prescriptive as to what varieties you pick - take a look at what is available and what will look pretty in a bowl and work from there. Tomato salads are a great addition to any buffet or plate because of the shot of colour they give. They also last longer than your standard leaf salad - I enjoyed the remainders yesterday of a salad prepared the night before - so make sure you don't bin the leftovers. The tomato holds its shape and texture well, and if anything the flavour is enhanced. Incidentally, I prefer to blacken the capsicum skins under the griller than mess around with open flames - no need for yet another cooking scar on my hands!
If you would like to join in the fun of cooking from Gourmet Traveller this month, leave me a comment, and make sure you go and visit Melinda at Melbourne Larder and see what amazing things she is whipping up too.

One perspective upon a first visit to the desert country of southeastern Oregon.
The State of Oregon offers a study in contrasts. The southeast corner is arid, approaching desert in places. Conversely, as one travels further west and north landscape becomes increasingly lush and green, due to higher annual precipitation. Lakeview, in southeastern Oregon receives around 14 to 15 inches of rain a year, whereas Portland receives 37 inches typically.
Our visit to Oregon, which included both Lakeview and Portland, presented many such contrasts.
The woman at the Oregon Welcome Center, just off of Interstate 84, held open the door for us as we arrived. Upon learning of our place of origin, she informed us that she was a native of Clay Center, Kansas.
Before we even met her though, we saw a man sitting at a picnic table at the welcome center, feeding a chicken with a gas container and a sign in front of him reading, "Need gas money." He described his engine problems to us and said he was trying to get to a town in Idaho.
The woman at the welcome center provided two options for reaching our next destination near Medford, OR: a longer, scenic route, which branched north, or a shorter, more direct route, which proceeded through the Oregon desert.
We had already planned to take the desert route, and, from our perspective, it proved to be beautiful and glorious, particularly as the sun set.
Traveling through the great Oregon desert reminded me of driving through western Kansas, although the desert was less populated and contained stark, mostly treeless hills and mountains on both sides of the road in places. I fell in love with this magnificent landscape with its array of colors ranging from reddish-brown to sagebrush green and gray. Creeks and rivers (with running water) curved beside the highway for most of the drive to Riley, offering more variety in the landscape and adding groves of trees in places.
As we turned south toward Lakeview, the land flattened out somewhat and sagebrush dominated the landscape in every direction. In the desert, we opted for a roadside picnic one point. Silence reigned here except for a few flies that joined us, along with a solitary car that passed us during our 30 or 45 minutes of picnicking.
We experienced true desert a few miles after our supper break when we discovered sand had crept onto the edge of the road. We snapped a few photographs of these roadside dunes.
Amidst all of this dryness, a body of water, Aber Lake, suddenly appeared. The alkali lake, half-dry in many places, stretched on for 30 or so miles opposite the Aber Rim. This is where we witnessed a spectacular sunset.
This was our first visit to Oregon, a place that typically conjures up images of lush, green misty forests. We would have to wait for that landscape until we arrived in the Willamette Valley, which is incidentally where many of the pioneers on the Oregon Trail ended their long journey.

Seasonally adjusted construction employment fell by 8,000 in August and 437,000, a 5.7% decrease, over the past 12 months, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Employment at residential builders and specialty trade contractors dropped by a combined 19,000 for the month and 352,000, or 10.9%, over 12 months. Employment at non-residential builders, specialty trade contractors, and heavy and civil engineering contractors rose 10,000 in August and fell 85,000, a 1.9% decrease, over 12 months.
However, Census Bureau data and reports from contractors suggest BLS has under-reported residential job losses, and that non-residential employment has risen, not fallen. Drops in residential starts and building permits make it seem likely that residential contractors reduced employment by at least 27.7%, or roughly 520,000 employees. Workers at firms that originally identified themselves as "residential" specialty trade contractors but are now performing non-residential work could explain the difference. If those workers are taken into account, non-residential employment would have risen 435,000, a 10% increase, over the past year.

Hello from North Carolina
First post here, been browsing the forums a few weeks.
Have not found a post on this.
It size is 9'6" x7'10"
weight is 1.5lbs
Does anyone have one of these tarps?
Do you like it?
Does it keep you dry?
Is there one in the same price range ( $54 ) that you would recommend over this tarp?
Not really worried about weight, just to stay dry, and protection from the sun.
Thanks in advanced.

I rather enjoyed the ending - it was a nice way to wrap things, though I certainly wouldn't mind a second season. Innocent and incredibly dirty at the same time - a tough trick to pull off, but Umisho did it. I love many members of the extended cast, but Shizuoka has to be my favorite (with the Captain a close second). She (like the show) was a rare combination of innocence and flat-out raunchiness.

O man.... i really hope the stills at the end doesn't replace the second season. I really REALLY want a second season. There so many great ideas that they could do. Well mainly for me i just want to see the story between Okky and Amuro.
The ending seemed kidna abrupt and there really wasn't a point in Okky realizing Amuro was the mermaid *o_OMGZ spoilers!!!*. Cuase and effect with no effect. GO GO NEXT SEASON!!

Wow....I loved this anime. =) Took a while of searching to find it since on the site it's only listed as "Umisho" =.= But I'm glad I found it. =D I would sooo love a second season. I just couldnt help but laugh at Shizuoka for the "If it's with the opposite sex I might be interested" comments LOL That was great

I just watched this show by accident from lolipower which i also found by accident. This show really was a fun thing to watch. Though it's a bit frustrating that many of these shows set something up in the first few eps. Love candidates and obvious revelations and then put some episodes that don't contribute to these.
The ending was ok i guess though i'd rather have it a bit more conclusive and longer.
Things that should come back in the 2nd season.
Some arch/twist relating the missing granny
The closet echi girl's coming out party nearing the end of s2
More random Ono ness
Less spoily brat fotomodel char (she came, she was bratty, she stopped being bratty, end of char development)
miko getting her nice body and getting good at swimming
Ikamasa getting coupled with Momoko Orizuka. Momoko stil beating up Ikamasa

Should the tracker still list individual episodes for Ayu's work? All of these URLs link to http://www.ayu-anime.net/torrents.php but the only 'umisho' torrent actually on that page (anymore, perhaps the old ones were removed) is the batch for 1-13. I ran this torrent and one file is called 'trailer' which I assume is the promo.
Since people can't get individual torrents for these, I think it would be simpler if this tracker only displayed Yoroshiku's episode 1 and a link directly to the 1-13 batch which would be http://www.ayu-anime.net/torrents/[Ayu]_Umisho_01-13.torrent
I also just mirrored this on Nyaa for anyone who wants to preview torrent contents before downloading it: http://www.nyaa.eu/?page=torrentinfo...59&showfiles=1

Town of Garner, NCHome Menu
Triezenberg Named Town's Planning Director
Town Manager Rodney Dickerson has appointed Jeff Triezenberg as the Town of Garner's planning director effective April 10.
Triezenberg had been serving as the Planning Department's interim director since Dec. 31, following the retirement of longtime director Brad Bass.
Triezenberg joined the Town of Garner in December 2014 as assistant planning director. Prior to joining the Garner staff, he was a senior planner for 10 years in Knightdale. Before joining Knightdale, Triezenberg held a series of progressively responsible planning positions with the City of Burlington, N.C., for over seven years.
"Jeff has a wealth of knowledge in various areas of planning and has been a tremendous asset to the Town in his interim role," Dickerson said. "I look forward to him being an integral part of our management team."
Both Dickerson and Assistant Town Manager-Development Services John Hodges noted Triezenberg's exceptional work in overseeing two projects of critical importance to the Planning Department and the Town as a whole.
"Jeff has expertly managed two major initiatives for the Town simultaneously—the development of a new comprehensive land-use plan and the expansion of our extraterritorial jurisdiction, or ETJ," Hodges said. "Jeff's work on the ETJ expansion process, which Garner had not undertaken previously since the 1980s, has been commended by staff, elected officials and citizens."
Triezenberg holds a bachelor's degree from Calvin College in Michigan and a master's degree in urban and regional planning from UNC-Chapel Hill. He is a member of the American Planning Association (APA) and American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP). Triezenberg is a 2013 graduate of the UNC School of Government's Municipal and County Administration course.

When we last left Mulder and Scully in Fox's The X-Files reboot, an alien ship was hovering over them in Washington D.C. as Mulder was dying from an alien virus—naturally leaving us wondering what happens next. Can we expect to find out in a new season?
In a new interview, Deadline asked the actors about continuing the show. "I'm open to the conversation, though [20th Century Fox Television hasn't] come to us yet," Anderson said. "I have no clue when they're going to. I'm getting on with the rest of my life and I'm booking other jobs, so if it is indeed something that they would like to continue, then that conversation will need to be had. And I have no idea when that will be able to take place at this juncture."

The X-Files is a Peabody, Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winning American science fiction television series created by Chris Carter, which first aired on September 10, 1993, and ended on May 19, 2002. Running for 9 seasons, the show was a hit for the Fox Broadcasting Company network, and its main characters and slogans (e.g., "The Truth Is Out There", "Trust No One", "I Want to Believe") became pop culture touchstones. The X-Files is seen as a defining series of the 1990s, coinciding with the era's widespread mistrust of governments, interest in conspiracy theories and spirituality, and the belief in the existence of extraterrestrial life. TV Guide called The X-Files the Second greatest cult television show and the 37th best television show of all time. In 2007, Time magazine included it on a list of the "100 Best TV Shows of All Time." In 2008, Entertainment Weekly named it Classic Sci-fi and the fourth best TV show in the last 25 years. This long running FOX drama lasted nine seasons and focused on the exploits of FBI Agents Fox Mulder, Dana Scully, John Doggett and Monica Reyes and their investigations into the paranormal. From genetic mutants and killer insects to a global conspiracy concerning the colonisation of Earth by an alien species, this mind-boggling, humourous and occasionally frightening series created by Chris Carter has been one of the world's most popular sci-fi/drama shows since its humble beginnings in 1993. The show has also spawned two movies, The X-Files Movie in 1998 and I Want To Believe in 2008. So sit back and enjoy the fascinating world of The X-Files. The entire nine seasons of The X-Files are now available on DVD! As well has hundreds of books written about the show.

An Unexpectedly Chic Super Mario Bros Tween Room
Name: "B" (12)
Location: Orange County, California
For our son B's tween bedroom make-over we wanted to re-use as much of his existing furniture as possible and work with what we already had. We also wanted to feature his drawings, paintings and a couple of derby cars on a gallery wall.
As for inspiration for the room, we used an embroidered Mario which B finished from a kit I put together for him one time as an advent calendar gift. After he finished it, I cut a mat for it and framed it for his room.
One day, when talking about his room, B suggested something pixelated, which instantly became something with cardboard squares in my mind. He found a different Mario pose and I re-colored it to match the embroidered version.
B did all the math involved in figuring out how big the squares needed to be to arrive at a 5 foot Mario and how many pieces of cardstock we would need of each colors. Then we put it up together.
As for the rest of the room, we made some improvements to his bed frame which we had built a couple of years earlier, a queen bed with a twin trundle. Then, I repainted it in a charcoal color to match the new fabric I used to re-cover his existing headboard. We built the white desk using an IKEA table top and wood from the hardware store.
Other DIYs in this room included building the wall hung cubby next to the bed out of some left-over wood, re-covering his corner chair in white fur fabric, staining some wood for the wall shelves, spray painting some cardboard letters white for over the bed and finally hand-sewing Swiss crosses to some gray pillows.
Source List:
- Wall color: White
- Blue square: Valspar's Blue Coal
- Gray bedframe color: Lincoln Cottage Black
- Desk paint: Behr Alkyd paint in white on top of two coats of Zinnser oil primer
- Cubby and shelves stain: Cabot Timber Oil stain - wood finish - Honey Teak color
- Queen bed with trundle: wood from the hardware store and parts from IKEA: Odda trundle and Sultan slats
- Desk: Vika Furuskogan top and wood from the hardware store for legs
- Lamps: Hektar and Aröd from IKEA
- Fur fabric for corner chair: JoAnn's
- Corner chair: Emmabo from IKEA - discontinued
- Desk chair: Stokke chair
- Fabric for headboard: Stof2000 (in Denmark)
- Rug: Gåser from IKEA
- Swiss cross pillows: Gurli pillows from IKEA plus fabric, batting and embroidery thread from JoAnn's

According to Forbes Magazine, in May of 2012, a new art record was set "…when Edvard Munch's 'The Scream' sold at Sotheby's New York for $119.9 million [10+08]. It became the most expensive art work ever sold at auction, easily trouncing the reigning champ Pablo Picasso's 'Nude Green Leaves and Bust,' which sold at Christie's New York for $106.5 million in 2010. Only two [10+00] other pieces, or four total, have ever sold for nine figures. Alberto Giacometti's 'L'Homme qui marche I' was auctioned off shortly before the Picasso in 2010 for $104 million. The buyer was rumored to be Monaco billionaire [10+09] Lily Safra but as is common in these situations, it has never been publicly confirmed. The fourth was yet another Picasso, 'Garcon a la Pipe,' which sold in 2004 for $104 million."
