This isn't necessarily space-related, but it is Carmack-related. I am taking a class in Small Business Management at Collin College, and my final project is a short business plan for a business that I would like to operate. I can get an "A" on this project only if my business plan would convince the professor that he would like to invest money in my company. I've thought of a few ventures that I've actually attempted, but I have another idea that is a bit "out there" for me. I have an idea for a piece of recreational computer software, and I'm wondering how I might start a company to create and market it. If Mr. Carmack or someone else with business start-up experience would be interested in guiding me in the correct direction, it would greatly help me in writing my final project before it's due date in about 2 weeks.
Another assignment of my class (though, apparently not a graded assignment) is to interview the heads of small businesses to learn directly from them what advice or thoughts they might have on starting and operating a small business.
Thank you for your consideration.

Some random thoughts in this direction, with apologies to the moderators for this being off-topic.
First, don't bother with the PC and console markets. That's a multi-multi-billion dollar industry, and you're not going to get anywhere soon without a lot of capital and a lot of experience. Although perhaps making something simple and selling it for a few bucks through Steam might work. (Rag Doll Kung Fu had some success with that some years ago, and its developer Mark Healey subsequently started a company called Media Molecule; maybe they'll give you a few tips. Say hi from me.) A web arcade might work, but there are many already. The mobile app market is probably your best bet; the platform is not that powerful yet so that the content can be lower quality, and the barrier to entry is low.
Second, Apogee published a pile of independently developed games back in the nineties, and they have a [url="http://www.3drealms.com/legacy.html"]series of interviews with the makers up on their website[/url]. That might give you some ideas; I think that model could be applied to the current mobile market.
Say, can you feel the thunder in the air? Just like the moment 'fore it hits – then it's everywhere
What is this spell we're under, do you care? The might to rise above it is now within your sphere

Tempeh, the famous Indonesian dish made from soybeans, has found a new home in Brooklyn.
Barry Schwartz, owner and creator of Barry's Tempeh, is reintroducing this unique vegan product into the western market.
Traditionally, tempehs are made through the process of fermentation, where the heat kills the active cultures that could enhance digestion. Therefore, Barry found a new technique of keeping those active ingredients alive. "We freeze them to stop fermentation," said Schwartz. "They contain probiotics, like those in the yogurt."
The tempeh has a firm texture, and is compressed tightly into a rectangular block giving it the appearance of a block of cheese. The inner content has more moisture, and has a nutty and meaty taste like that of a veggie burger.
It can be prepared in several ways, such as deep-frying, marinating, or even using it as soup base.
"We want people to know that it's okay to eat tempeh without being vegetarians," said Schwartz, saying that many people perceive tempeh as a food only vegans would love.
Right now, Barry's Tempeh gets delivered to a number of Brooklyn grocery shops, such as Back to the Land and Brooklyn Commune. Because the tempeh needs to be frozen, delivery right now is limited to the borough.
Representatives from Barry's Tempeh give live cooking demonstrations in the spring and summer. You can find them in places such as Smorgasburg in Williamsburg and at the South Street Seaport.
"Many people don't know what tempeh is, but when they try it, they like it," said Schwartz.

One might have expected that, after losing the signature religious-liberty case of the past two decades earlier this month with arguments that his own Supreme Court appointees called "extreme," President Barack Obama would have learned that conscience is something to be taken seriously.
Alas, no. Yesterday, in a statement from Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, the Obama administration announced it would not reconsider its "contraceptive mandate" — that is, the unprecedented command it issued last August forcing all private health plans to cover contraceptive and sterilization services, including drugs that cause early-term abortions.
From the outset, the administration sought to camouflage the mandate's radical assault on conscience by inserting an exemption for "religious employers" who objected to paying for contraception and abortion. It is a pitifully small fig leaf, however.
An organization cannot qualify if it has a "non-religious" aim (such as caring for the sick or feeding the hungry), or if it hires or serves persons of different faiths. In other words, the administration has managed to legislate a grotesque inversion of the parable of the Good Samaritan: A religious group loses the protection of the law precisely because it reaches across boundaries to help the outsider.
Obama's contraceptive mandate violates the Constitution in several ways. First, it represents an ugly form of what the courts call a "religious gerrymander." As the administration knew, most employer-based plans already covered contraceptives, but objecting employers — mostly Catholic — were still free not to offer it. The mandate squashes that freedom by filling the so-called "Catholic gap" in coverage. The Free Exercise Clause does not tolerate such blatant discrimination.
Second, the mandate hijacks the governance of religious organizations. As the Supreme Court dramatically (and unanimously) confirmed earlier this month in Hosanna-Tabor Church v. EEOC, the Constitution forbids government interference in the internal affairs of religious organizations.
That underscores why the mandate is unconstitutional: What could be more intrusive than forcing a religious employer to pay for conduct that violates its own moral code?
Most disturbing, however, is the "religious employer" exemption. The shockingly narrow criteria — modeled on a California law ghost-written by the ACLU — segregate religious organizations into favored and disfavored classes. Who gets the exemption? Organizations that focus inwardly on "religious" matters. Contemplative monks might qualify, provided they do not sell Christmas fruitcakes.
Who doesn't get the exemption? Organizations that undertake projects such as educating students, treating the sick or feeding the poor. Because these groups leave the cloister, the government now declares their consciences unworthy of protection.
This kind of religious quarantine is patently unconstitutional. The First Amendment forbids the state from picking favorites among religious groups. In their comments protesting the exemption, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops put it well: "In effect, [the administration] is purporting to distinguish between religious denominations and organizations that are, so to speak, insular in their workplace and ministry and those that have a missionary outlook. That is blatantly unconstitutional."
Animating these measures is a sinister form of "tolerance" that should make religious Americans shudder. It is a cast of mind that relegates the genuinely religious to the margins of polite society. It tolerates countercultural views on sexual morality — provided they are kept safely out of sight.
But there is a world of difference between merely "tolerating" religion and guaranteeing its "free exercise."
Our Constitution does the latter, embracing the distinctive contributions of religious institutions to civil society. Lamentably, the federal government's contraceptive mandate takes the opposite approach, acting on the crabbed premise that the rights of conscience are a gift of the state, not of God.
Given the mandate's multitude of flaws, one might have expected Obama at the very least to expand the religious-employer exemption. After all, this is the president who told Notre Dame graduates in 2009 that we should "honor the conscience of those who disagree with abortion and draft a sensible conscience clause."
Yesterday revealed how empty that promise was, when Sebelius announced there would be no change to the exemption. Objecting religious employers would merely get "an additional year, until August 2013, to comply with the new law."
This perverse grace period would, Sebelius soothingly assured, "allow these organizations more time and flexibility to adapt to the law." It is safe to say that thousands of religious employers do not agree. An additional year — an additional thousand years — will not be sufficient to erode what their consciences tell them about the sacredness of sexuality and human life.
Given the administration's intransigence, it is becoming increasingly apparent that the contraceptive mandate is headed for its reckoning in federal courts and ultimately in the Supreme Court. When it does, the court should find that it violates our Constitution's most basic commitment to religious liberty.
Kyle Duncan previously served as the solicitor general of Louisiana. In January, he joined The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, which has brought two lawsuits seeking to overturn the contraceptive mandate.

At a San Francisco launch event GoPro has just revealed the next addition to its line of action cameras, the Hero3. The Hero3 claims specs that are 30 percent smaller and 25 percent lighter than its predecessor, with a resolution that's up to 4x higher and it has WiFi included. The top of the line Black Edition (pictured above) is capable of capturing video at up to 4K res -- if you're willing to drop the framerate down to 15fps -- however thanks to a processor it says is 2x faster, it has also doubled frame rates at lower resolutions. That means 1080p60, 1440p48 and 720p120 modes are supported for your super slow and still-HD capture needs. The Silver Edition maxes out at 11MP stills and 1080p30 video, while the White Edition drops down to 5MP stills. All three versions include WiFi (no BacPac necessary for remote control via the just-released-on-iOS app) however the Black edition includes a remote that can control up to 50 cameras at once with a 600ft range and is waterproof to 10 feet deep. It will also be available as a $79 accessory for the lesser versions.
As far as pricing, the Black Edition is $399, the Silver is $299 and the White $199. Pre-orders are scheduled to start at 12:01AM PT (3:01AM ET), and there's a handy counter on the GoPro site if you otherwise might forget. The variety of models and ubiquitous WiFi may help fight off competition at the pricing low end like the new ContourROAM2, among others. Naturally we were in the house and will have hands-on pics and impressions soon, check the gallery for pics of the box and detailed specs.
Update: Our hands-on is live! Check out how tiny the Hero3 really is right here.

UBS forecasts Q1 result for FICC unit
Zurich/Basel, 30 March 2010 - A media report late yesterday indicated that UBS's Fixed Income, Currencies and Commodities unit (FICC) would generate revenue of about US$2.3 billion in first quarter 2010. Under SIX ad hoc publicity rules, UBS is required to comment on this report. The reported figure is slightly higher than FICC's current first quarter forecast revenues. Because the quarter has not ended and results to date are subject to possible fair value adjustments, including those relating to own credit, this forecast may not be reliable. UBS will issue its first quarter 2010 financial results on 4 May 2010.

DAYTON: Members of Ohio�s congressional delegation say military veterans are waiting too long for VA claims.
The Dayton Daily News reports that 15 of the state�s members of Congress � Democrats and Republicans � sent a letter Monday to the leader of the Department of Veteran Affairs. They say the lengthy backlog of VA claims for veterans is �unacceptable.�
The letter came after the newspaper published a story noting that Ohio veterans are waiting an average of 278 days to get claims processed. That�s 16 days longer than the national average.
VA spokeswoman Meagan Lutz acknowledged that the agency received the letter Monday and will respond to congressional leaders� concerns.
Lutz said the VA is transitioning to a digital, paperless system to speed claims processing.

My grandmother served this dessert once, maybe seven or ten (or more!) years ago. It was so good, fresh and spicy and wonderfully berry-y that I've been thinking about it periodically ever since. Every now and then I'd bring it up in conversation with my mother and go "we should make that sometime!" And then I'd get distracted by crème brûlée or cheesecake or chocolate souffle, and the summer pudding never happened.
Until this weekend. This isn't my grandmother's recipe, just something I cobbled together, adding my favorite spices (ever since making the spicy swirl cake that kicked off this blog I've been living some kind of cardamom renaissance - it really is a fabulous spice to use in desserts) and using up the leftover French Bread from Friday and an I'm-afraid-to-think-how-old splosh of white wine from the fridge, thus making this my entry for this month's Leftover Tuesday, hosted by Rachel. (ETA: check out the roundup here.)
I think you can probably use any kind of fruit in this, frozen or fresh. I went for raspberries, bilberries and blackcurrants, frozen ones naturally since we are about as far from summer as you can get, and added a splosh of white wine for extra depth. The berries are simmered in sugar and spices (cardamom and cinnamon in this case) and poured into a bowl lined with bread and topped with another layer of bread and then weighted down in the fridge overnight so the bread soaks up all the juices and turns a wonderful purple color. A perfect easy/healthy dessert to finish a heavy meal or a weeknight dinner. Yum.
Summer Pudding with Cardamom & White Wine
1 large loaf of dense (white) bread, sliced and with crusts cut off
1 kg (2 pounds) berries, I used about 600 g raspberries and 200 g each bilberries and blackcurrants
3 whole cardamom pods + ½ tsp crushed cardamom seeds
1 stick cinnamon
100 ml sugar (depending on how tart your berries are and how much of a sweet tooth you have)
splosh of white wine
grated peel of ½ a lemon
Heat the cardamoms, cinnamon, sugar and wine in a large pan until sugar is dissolved. Turn off the heat and let stand for a while to let the spices flavor the syrup. Add the berries and lemon peel to the pan. (If you want to make things easy for yourself, fish out the cardamom pods at least before adding the berries. I didn't and had had to hunt for them later.) It will seem like A LOT of berries, but don't worry.
Turn on the heat again and simmer until the berries start letting out their juices. Meanwhile, line a medium-sized bowl (or several small ones, or ramekins, or whatever) first with a large piece of clingfilm (you'll need to cover the bowl completely with the edges later) and then with bread slices, overlapping and pressing them together so there are no cracks in between. If you're making this in portion-sized cups, make sure to slice your bread very thinly or the berries-to-bread ratio will go all wonky.
Spoon the berry mixture on the bread, reserving some of the juices (if you've used frozen berries like me, chances are you'll have a lot of liquid, but that's OK). Top the bowl with more bread, again making sure there are no cracks, and spoon on some of the reserved juices (not all of them, though).
Fold the edges of the clingfilm over the bread and weigh down with a plate topped with something heavy (such as, say, more plates). Leave in the fridge overnight.
To serve, unfold the clingfilm, invert bowl over a plate and remove both bowl and clingfilm. Moisten any white patches of bread with the last of the juices and serve along with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. (Although frankly, when I had it the following day without either it was even better.)

While gaming across Asia remains serious business, followership, engagement and the most popular titles vary greatly market by market. What is an established pastime in South Korea remains a relatively new yet fast-growing phenomenon in Japan.
The majority of global consumers are exposed to both multinational and local brands. That begs the question: Just how much does the "Made In" moniker influence purchasing behavior?
The world is increasingly complex, instrumented and virtual. There's vast amounts of information about consumers and the factors that influence their behavior that simply didn't exist in the data warehouse era. Here, we take a closer look at how all this data will affect retail when it comes together with recent technology trends.
The data generated by our day-to-day activities can help brands and marketers understand consumer needs and drive growth for their businesses. But first, they need to make sense of all the data.
Esports fans around the world include some of the hardest to reach consumers for brands because of their cord-cutting and ad-blocking tendencies. While esports unites them as a fan base, their digital-first mindset is pervasive in their approach to broader entertainment consumption.
As manufacturers and retailers seek to capitalize on the opportunity of e-commerce, they need to understand consumers' online usage, behaviour and habits, as well as what's driving e-commerce adoption.
It's undisputed that internet accessibility, mobile technology and digital innovations are redefining consumers every interaction and will continue to enable and disrupt many aspects of consumers' lifestyle well into the future.
With rising consumer uptake across e-commerce categories, online FMCG growth is accelerating across the globe. In fact, we estimate that online FMCG growth will accelerate four times faster growth than offline sales in the next five years.
This report looks at the changing FMCG e-commerce landscape in eight markets (Colombia, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Taiwan, Thailand, United Arab Emirates), influenced by 10 key drivers, along with deep insights for each of these markets.
Convenience isn't just about store formats, products or packaging. And it means more than the latest technologies or new engagement strategies. Rather, it's about every encounter, interaction and action that can help fulfill consumers' growing demand for efficiency.
As the e-commerce channel expands, the future success of brands will be significantly affected by how successful they are online. As increasingly time poor consumers seek convenience and on-the-go purchases, online sales of FMCG will gain more importance.
It's no surprise that more and more items are being outfitted with built-in connectivity. Consumers' adoption of internet-enabled devices isn't a given, however, and it's worth exploring why acceptance has been so fragmented across categories—as well as what the industry can do to accelerate usage.
Digital has disrupted a whole host of interactions, including the way we watch video content and the ways we communicate with friends and family. The way we shop is no exception.
Not surprisingly, online shopping is pervasive among the growing online population. But when it comes to buying online, category dynamics are fluid and evolving.
Mobile devices may not be critical to survival, but a majority of consumers around the world can't imagine life without them. And now, they're transforming the world of commerce.
VOD services are undoubtedly transforming the way audiences consume video, so it's important to tune in to what's driving engagement around the world. Our recent online global survey found that while several strong motivating factors will support continued growth, there are a few barriers to be mindful of, too.
Not long ago, "watching TV" meant sitting in front of the screen in your living room, waiting for a favorite program to come on at a set time. Today, VOD programming options put the viewer in control of what they watch, when they watch and how they watch.
VOD programming allows consumers to watch what they watch, when they watch and how they watch. And today, nearly two-thirds of global respondents (65%) in a Nielsen online survey in 61 countries say they watch some form of VOD programming, which includes long- and short-form content.
Marketers and advertisers in Hong Kong are becoming more cautious as they are more concerned about global and local economy performances, where 29% of advertisers planned on increasing advertising spend in 2016, a 7-percentage-point decrease compared to last year. So, how to win the game?
Online shopping is growing around the world, but is this affecting how people are shopping in physical stores? Consumers aren't simply "showrooming"—browsing in store and then going online in search of the lowest-cost option. They're also "webrooming"—researching online and buying in stores.
As connected commerce continues to gain momentum globally, it's increasingly important that retailers make online shopping as simple as a routine trip to the store, even if they're browsing from the other side of the globe—and offering the right method of payment is critical.
While connected commerce is still largely a domestic affair, cross-border ecommerce is a growing phenomenon. Shoppers are increasingly looking outside their country's borders, as more than half of online respondents in the study who made an online purchase in the past six months say they bought from an overseas retailer.
Shoppers today no longer simply go to the nearest store; they grab the nearest digital device. And it's not just purchasing habits that are going digital: The whole retail experience is changing.
Despite evidence that the rise of digital shopping has become an influential factor in the changing retail landscape, consumer shopping channel preferences continue to shift. A review of sales trends for select FMCG around the world reveal that when it comes to trade channel importance, there is no single answer that's right for all.
For retailers, e-commerce is only one part of the digital picture. A complete digital strategy includes interaction at every point along the path to purchase. Digital touch points occur both in and out of stores, and consumers are increasingly using technology to simplify and improve the process.
While the appetite for buying groceries online is at high levels around the world—more than half of global respondents are willing to give it a try—digital natives are leading the charge. These consumers have an unprecedented enthusiasm for—and comfort with—technology, and online shopping is a deeply ingrained behavior.
From search engines to social networks, people around the globe mostly use electronic devices for three primary purposes: relationship building/maintaining, information gathering and entertainment viewing. But what does the future use of electronic devices look like, and where are the best opportunities for growth?
Globally, consumers largely favor TV as the device of choice for watching video programming. However, there are a few regional and generational differences in how we watch.
What's your go-to device of choice for watching your favorite show? Device proliferation has afforded more choice than ever before, but TV remains the preferred device—and by a wide margin according to global online respondents in Nielsen's Digital Landscape Survey.
We're living in a world of 24/7 connectivity, accessing our content on our own terms, and we like it that way. Around the globe, 76% of respondents in a Nielsen online survey say they enjoy the freedom of being connected anywhere, anytime. While consumers love this flexibility, it represents a huge challenge for brands and content providers vying for our attention in a fragmented viewing arena.
We're living in a world of 24/7 connectivity. We access content on our own terms, and we like it that way. But while this flexibility can be a benefit to us, it represents a huge challenge for brands and content providers vying for our attention.
Hispanic consumers are not only the fastest-growing demographic in the U.S., they're also trendsetters in digital, leading the growth in device ownership and online usage.

You own a RV or you live in RV, you may face many difficulties daily. As RV moves time to time the conveniences like power or water use to be reliable in our country but service like cell phone coverage can get unreliable any time. My point here is that there is no guarantee of clear signal everywhere in country and its been seen that signal lost do happens many times when we are traveling from one place to another or there used to be very low signal coverage when RV goes to countryside area. Another reason of low signal coverage in RV is same as Mobile Home, RV use to made with very thick layer of metal which allows minimum to cell phone signal to enter RV.
Well there is a solution now in form of a cell phone booster for RV. Yes, a cell phone signal booster for RV is now available and it is quite impressive, many known companies have launched it and this kind of booster.

Source: Marshfield Clinic
An estimated 29.3 million youth visit a farm each year, and most are unfamiliar with the farm environment and its associated hazards. Now is the time to review the safety of your farm – before visitors start coming for the summer season.
Whether it's u-pick produce, hay rides, petting zoos, festivals or hands-on chores, agritourism operators can prepare for safe and positive visits by consulting "Agritourism Health and Safety Guidelines for Children."
This resource includes tips on identifying and reducing hazards found on farms, such as those involving animals, water, machinery and hygiene. A reference chart merges child development and appropriate safety strategies, and convenient checklists help owners implement recommendations before visitors arrive. All resources are available at http://www.marshfieldclinic.org/agritourism.
These guidelines were developed with input from agritourism operators by the National Children's Center for Rural and Agricultural Health and Safety, Marshfield Clinic Research Foundation, Marshfield, Wis.
Farms that add play areas for children may want to utilize "Creating Safe Play Areas on Farms." All recommendations and guidelines in "Creating Safe Play Areas" are consistent with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's Guidelines for Public Playgrounds. These materials can be found at www.marshfieldclinic.org/safeplay.
Looking ahead, a "Safe Agritourism" website is under development by the Children's Center. The website is being designed with feedback from an advisory group of agritourism farm owners and agritourism association representatives. This site will feature a virtual safety walkthrough to identify and address hazards, and resources to remedy the hazards. Check www.marshfieldclinic.org/NCCRAHS/ this summer for more information.
Implementation of these agritourism guidelines is not intended to absolve the farm owner of liability. They are, however, intended to reduce the risk of a guest being injured and demonstrate a "good faith" effort to protect guests.
An agritourism farm in North Carolina implemented many elements of the guidelines and then worked with a local insurance agency to reduce annual liability insurance premiums by $300. To learn more about liability insurance, consult an insurance agent and/or an attorney who is familiar with this type of activity.
For more information, or to request a limited number of hard copies of these resources, contact the National Children's Center, 1-800-662-6900, firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Marshfield Clinic system provides patient care, research and education with 57 locations in northern, central and western Wisconsin, making it one of the largest comprehensive medical systems in the United States.

'Lord give me patience, but please hurry.'1 Everyone working with cities has probably felt this sentiment. We see the new buildings, read the reports, and know that the hurly burley rush to urbanize across the world is picking up speed – we are about to repeat the amount of city-building we did in the last 200 years, but this time we will do it in just 40 years. Surely we have no time to slow down.
Chaucer said it well in Canterbury Tales, 'In wicked haste is not profit.' Or as in the sage Chinese proverb, 'A hasty man drinks his tea with a fork.' Haste makes waste. In the rush to urbanize, we are in danger of wasting many opportunities within our cities, as we lock in little foibles and big mistakes.
The world over, the bigger the city the bigger the haste, and it seems as if our patience is wearing thin almost everywhere. The too-long line at Starbucks, the maddening traffic, the Internet sound bites – we're driven to distraction as we look to throttle the 'demons of density' in our cities.
Complex problems require patience. They demand running starts, collaboration, learning from mistakes2, and humility. Complex, or 'wicked' problems, like we now face as we try to house, feed and provide energy to an additional 3 billion increasingly affluent city-dwellers in an already over-stressed planet, won't be solved in a cacophony of tweets. No matter how fast they come, or how clever they might be.
In her new book On Looking: Eleven Walks with Expert Eyes, Alexandra Horowitz of Colombia University makes a powerful case for slowing down and paying attention to the details of a neighborhood. The average person misses 80% of what's going on around them as they text or chat on their cellphone and use Google maps to watch the world unfold. Walk with a geologist and you see the fossils in the sidewalk, a wildlife biologist and you see where the raccoons and rats may be hiding. Sounds and smells get short shrift as we stare at our screens, missing critical signs.
The signs are everywhere. We need timely urban solutions, but they need to take into account as many opinions and as much information as possible. As Daniel Kahneman outlines in his book, Thinking, Fast and Slow, we have two types of thought processes – the faster, more biased, instinctive, first responder of thinking, and the second, slower, more deliberate, more logical, conscious thinking. Both are important, but in a rush, emotion often trumps logic.
Cities are the most complex works created by humanity. Building and running them well are huge challenges. We need to do the math, the planning, and the public consultation, and we need to know that it's okay to re-do them when circumstances change. Studies and discussions can't be reasons for delay but doing the homework first leads to a better solution.
You can't pick up a city and move it away to get a fresh start. Mistakes are always visible as we build atop them. And mistakes can be extremely costly. We cannot afford to make many more. With an appreciation of the urgency and the need for a thoughtful response, we will build better cities.

You are looking at them in the wrong perspective. Cities are beings, and therefore cannot be approached as being built as a product, where its components needs to be refined before its put together like an iPhone. the planning, technology AND policy need to be developed in a framework that is dynamic so that as needs/situations/environments change, cities have the mechanism to do so. This is probably only possible if communities are given more stake in the decision making process.
There is a growing trend for what is being termed 'slow urbanism' (as in 'slow food') in Europe in recognition of the need for more manageable, sensitive and responsive city evolution. Some very forward-thinking cities, such as Antwerp in Belgium, had adopted this approach several years ago. The current economic crisis, and the stark reality of long-term economic restructuring & capital budget constraints, had made more & more cities re-think their policy and practice, as has the persistence of social divergence and exclusion. In the UK there is also some interesting work emerging on some of the less-considered aspects of cities, ones that as Horowitz book points out, have been overlooked in the rubbish for macro-approaches. For example Victoria Henshaw's work on smell and its considerable influence on historical development, mental maps & patterns of activity in urban areas (see blog at http://smellandthecity.wordpress.com/about/).
Agree completely. People do need to take a more active role in managing their cities – maybe voting in municipal elections, when available, would be a great start.
True, slow urbanism may be beneficial in some already well urbanized countries like UK. Much like the slow food movement.
In some countries the pace of urbanization is just so fast it's hard to just keep up.
Intelligent traffic solutions, green buildings, water management, and smart grid infrastructure are just a few of the technologies helping to steer today's urbanization toward sustainability. http://www.usa.siemens.com/sustainable-cities/

In high-pressure areas, corn growers need hybrids offering both high-yield potential and pest protection.
As you select hybrids for next season, consider where you encountered corn rootworm pressure this season and its level of severity in your fields. In fields where pressure was intense, you'll want to select hybrids offering both high yield potential and protection against this pest, says Sean Evans, Monsanto technology development representative for Illinois.
You need to ask yourself three questions, Evans encourages:
1) Do I have fields where I've grown continuous corn for three or more years?
2) Do I have fields where I have repeatedly used a single trait, and the same trait, for rootworm protection?
3) Did I see a lot of adult rootworms this past season?
If you answer yes to any of these three questions, consider making some changes to your corn production practices in 2013.
"If we have a mild winter, after this dry fall, we may be in for another tough season with rootworms in 2013," he says.
In the following video, Evans highlights some of the problems he saw in Illinois this season from rootworm pressure and what farmers can do, wherever they are located, to be proactive to prevent yield losses next season.

Baseball icon Don Zimmer died Wednesday night at age 83. If you're like me, despite all the memorable things he did in his career as a player, coach and manager, one thing leaps to mind: the time he picked a fight with Boston Red Sox ace Pedro Martinez.
It was during Game 3 of the 2003 ALCS between the New York Yankees, for whom Zimmer was coaching, and the Red Sox. The two teams pretty much already hated each other, and the Yankees were convinced that Martinez was throwing at batters. He threw one behind Karim Garcia's head, which started the trouble. Later in the game, Yankees pitcher Roger Clemens threw one up and in to Manny Ramirez, and both benches emptied.
It was your typical baseball fight, a lot of pushing and shoving, when suddenly Zimmer, then 72, ran across the field at Martinez, who tossed Zimmer aside, throwing him to the ground.
Zimmer was taken to the hospital but was OK. He later blamed himself for the incident.
"I said it myself the next day in a press conference," Zimmer told the New York Daily News years later. "I told the whole world I was wrong and that I was embarrassed by what I'd done and I apologized for it. I was definitely wrong and Pedro didn't do nothing."
It was an amazing example of Zimmer's passion for the game.

John Sykes, Doug Aldrich, Vivian Campell! they aren't real men they just use tight trousers as a spine support
Regardless of whether you like them or not there's no denying they are all great players!

I love the way these heavy metal types talk about players who "can shred". It implies that all guitarists want to sound like that, but few can achieve it.
Has it never ocurred to them that the reason that so many of us don't play like that is that it sounds lame and rather sad? "Shredding" is the last thing I would ever want to do on a guitar, it's mindless, repetitive and inane.
You want a really great Les Paul player? Billy F. Gibbons, a real cool dude. Mind you, give Billy a Strat and he still sounds like Billy.......

Not wanting to start a heated debate
You can't 'shred' without good technique, and good techncal ability can surely only be a good thing, how you apply it is a matter of taste (or not).
I agree the 'million notes a second' approach is only impressive for about 3 seconds but having the ability to do it makes you a better player than someone who can't, given that you are equal in other areas.

Even if that's true John (and I'm not entirelly convinced), having the restraint and the taste not to play lots of "widdly-widdly-screech" stuff is what makes you a better player to me, and lots of other people too.

Doug Aldrich can play just as well on his strat as he can on his Les Paul, something other people cant do. the point is that alot of players complain about a LP because they are too heavy, too hard to play on etc. thats crap. the LP was designed in the 50's, way before highly technical playing (or shredding) was common, so the technically proficient players have just learnt to adapt and play well on them.

What relevance does this have to this post? You can play fast on any guitar, whatever it's weight. So what exactly are you trying to prove?

Weighing into the debate here...
Whether you play in the pentatonic box...Dorian...whatever...once you get comfortable with what you do there's no reason that you can't shred it when you want to/have to.
Because I'm in a covers band it would be stoopid for me to shred at 100 miles an hour ALL THE TIME.
We do Floyd stuff which is more or less slow and tasteful and we do Gary Moore's oh pretty woman in which I get to shred.
If i didn't know HOW to shred I'd be stuffed.
The technical aspects of HOW to do it are not important...once you know where yo always seem to go on the neck you'll be able to speed that up in due course....after 30 or so years of playing lead you SHOULD be able to just take what you normally play and speed that up.
You don't need to learn the Yngwie widdly widdly stuff but if you can't take what you know and play it at varying speeds then you need to reassess that decision to put down the triangle and pick up the guitar

Presumably Oh Pretty Woman is the Albert King song? If so, I imagine Moore murdered it like he did every other blues song he ever touched.
Albert never played fast, I doubt if he even could, but he was one of the most soulful and magnificent guitarists I've ever had the pleasure of hearing.
Horses for courses I guess....

You tend to assume(and have also done in the past) that because a person likes Gary Moore's version of say an Albert King song...we cannot therefore appreciate the Albert King version
As you say..."horse for courses" but isn't a guitarist the more rounded if he can effectively play BOTH versions?
I believe that JohnA stated in one of his posts on the topic that the "better" guitarist(for want of a better term) is the guitarist who can do it all...play slow and tastefully but shred when he needs to.
I fully agree.
I can't do the Yngwie ^&*(...I tried and failed dismally.
I can do a reasonable Satriani lol....who again is someone who plays beautiful melodic runs and then can shred his butt off.
We should be able to take the style that we play and step on the gas as need be....as I said...it's less of a matter of taste and more of a matter of if you can't do it then just put one's hand up and admit...."I hate shredder's coz I cannot do it"
I love danny gatton style chicken pickin but I can't do it for the life of me...but just because I can't do it doesn't make me anti-chicken pickin....

We're gonna have to agree to disagree on this one Oze. I freely admit that I cannot "shred", largely because I have no wish to, and have never tried. When Jimmie Vaughan starts to play like that, I might feel tempted, but not till then.
As for playing fast, I suppose I do (or try to) when we play Red House. It's not my favourite song, but it was in the band's set list when I joined, so I'm stuck with it. I'm no Hendrix, but it seems to go down quite well at gigs. Mind you, it's amazing how much a Tubescreamer flat out and a wah pedal can cover up - accuracy becomes less important, and subtlety flies out of the window (well it does when I play it!). But it keeps the punters happy, and I kinda enjoy it. It's been an interesting challenge to learn to busk that one.
I think the problem is that you cannot begin to imagine how much I hate Gary Moore. Sitting through his suport slot on B.B.King's final tour (what a terrible choice of support act
)was truly awful, mainly because he claims to be a blues player, but he's not. If he claimed to be a heavy rock player who occasionally played a blues number, that would be fine. I hate his playing style, his tone, his volume, his band, just about everything really! He even sold the Les Paul that Peter Green sold him - what a (*&)!
I love Rory Galllagher, Billy Gibbons, Hendrix, I even think I would enjoy a Motorhead gig, but if anyone ever said to me "You sound like Gary Moore" I would want to shoot myself.
Or the person who said that to me....
Now, Danny Gatton or Roy Buchanan, that's something else. I would love to be able to play like that, but I'm just not good enough (yet). Mind you, I'd like to learn more jazzy chords, more of those country licks that Steve Cropper throws into soul numbers, more of the rhythm stuff that Nile Rodgers and Jimmy Nolen play, more of the melodic stuff that Ronnie Earl plays, etc. etc. I'm not short of things that I can't play but that I would love to learn. And maybe one day I'll manage it.
But I'll be happy if, when I die, I still can't shred.

Sometimes a bento just doesn't come together for me, or there will one component that just stands out and ruins the end product for me - both are the case with this bento. Here it is (try to hide your snickers and laughter!):
Left to right: Cheeze-it Crackers, rolled "sushi" jelly sandwiches, a silicone cup of strawberry yogurt with apple-strawberry fruit leather hearts on top, apple pieces in the bottom corner.
Those apple pieces are an eye sore. The cut-out I tried to make on the peel turned out all wonky. My daughter must have agreed because she didn't eat it and she usually LOVES apples. Hmphf.
The sandwich "sushi" is super easy to do:
- flatten your bread (I used a rolling pin this time, but I'd done it before by just smooshing it really well between two cutting boards)
- add your sandwich contents (I just used jelly this time)
- roll the bread up
- cut into segments with a sharp knife
Very fun and easy and visually interesting in a bento box. :)
To make the yogurt more "bento friendly" and less spilly I drained away some of the liquid by making a funnel out of paper-towels and leaving the yogurt in the funnel, sealed in a larger container, overnight. The result is a thicker, creamier, yogurt. Similar to greek yogurt. As an added bonus, it makes the yogurt less messy to eat too. This is a good thing, for my little girl is a VERY messy eater.

I love the sushi jelly sandwiches! I made some one day out of a flat out wrap and they made the biggest mess. I guess the flatout didn't work because it didn't have "pores" (for lack of a better word) to hold the jelly. Will try with regular bread sometime.
No snickers here - I think you did a nice job.

He competed the full season in the following year. In 1994, in the Winston Cup Series, he reached 14th place before dropping to 24th after being disqualified at the Miller Genuine Draft 400 for illegal holes drilled on the roll cage, a safety violation. From 1997 to 2000, he never finished lower than fifth in the points standings and had 15 wins. In 1999, he had a career-high and series leading six races. In 2002 and 2003, he failed to win a race. In 2006, he finally broke his four-year long winless streak in any series by winning at Atlanta Motor Speedway and Dover International Speedway. In 2007, he won the Samsung 500, making him the first driver with multiple wins at Texas Motor Speedway. He won the 2008 Bank of America 500 at Lowe's Motor Speedway, his first multiple win season since 2001.

Given an upsurge in promotional activities, pricing is becoming an increasingly crucial factor for both retailers and manufacturers to consider in their go-to-market strategy. This webinar will help listeners understand what has been happening in KSA and UAE in the last couple of years when it comes to price and promotions—and the impact of those changes on the market. It also covers recommendations on what manufacturers and retailers can do to improve market performance and operating results.
E-commerce is becoming an important factor in further driving fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) growth across major markets globally. View our webinar to explore the framework of 10 key drivers for e-commerce success and which combination of drivers are importance based on their respective markets.
Consumers around the globe are feeling stretched due to changes in lifestyle, challenging working hours and longer commutes. Hyperconnectivity, rapid urbanisation and changes in households are influencing buying decisions of global consumers.
There are many ways to create a community of beauty consumers that are loyal to retailers and brands. But don't be overwhelmed: It's not too late to join the conversation with your beauty consumers—they're listening, and they're more than happy to connect directly with you to provide their feedback.
As companies look to break into new markets, they must understand that each market demands its own approach. In burgeoning sustainability markets, however, natural and organic are paving the way for more detailed and specific claims.
Here's a look at some of the major shifts we're tracking to help our clients stay in prime position to capitalize on the opportunities they'll present in the coming years.
Seasonality has a huge impact on OTC sales performance, and although it varies by category, 60% of sales are subject to this. We, of course, associate summer with hay fever and allergies; however, lots of other categories also enjoy the seasonal uplifts that come with summer.
More than any other consumer industry, beauty and personal care are driven by trends. New trending ingredients, formulations, colors and brands come around every season. Walk into your average retail store and you'll see this reflected on shelves.
For a decade, emerging markets have ignited the global economy, contributing more than 80% to its economic expansion. Today, these markets consistently perform a remarkable three to four times better than their developed market counterparts in the FMCG industry.
We've been talking about health and wellness for years. There are two critical forces at play that are shifting this topic from niche to mainstream: increasingly complex needs and massive digital engagement.
Beyond in-store clinics and the traditional health care aisle of the store, a handful of departments should be top of mind for drug store retailers where more multicultural dollars are spent in comparison to non-Hispanic whites.
As retailers ramp up their health and wellness offerings, and the lines between channels blurs, it's interesting to think about the role that drug stores will play in an increasingly crowded, wellness-oriented marketplace.
Health and wellness have become increasingly important for consumers around the world, including the Gulf Cooperation Council. In fact, health and wellness has been a top priority for consumers in the region for several years now.
While today's consumers certainly scrutinize the foods that fill their pantries, they aren't just eating at home. In fact, eating out isn't just for special occasions; it's a way of life for nearly half of global respondents.
Consumers around the world are increasingly focused on clean eating and the benefits of eating more healthfully, with 70% of global respondents saying they actively make dietary choices to help prevent health conditions such as obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol and hypertension.
Almost anyone you ask will tell you that eating a healthful diet is important—a sentiment that isn't new. So why is there a seemingly heightened focus on clean eating?
Modern retail has long been guided by a powerful premise: the bigger, the better. But the retail landscape is shifting, and this mantra no longer holds true in all cases. This report explores the pain and pleasure points in global consumers' shopping experiences.
In a world of choice, social responsibility is increasingly a factor for purchasing one product over another. In fact, 66% of respondents say they're willing to pay more for products and services that come from companies who are committed to positive social and environmental impact.
When it comes to learning about which diapers are best, 44% of global respondents go direct to the people they know and trust for recommendations, which is the top source of information in every region.
When it comes to keeping babies comfortable and clean, diapers are a top priority for parents—and one for which they spare no expense. In fact, Nielsen estimates diaper sales around the world will exceed $29 billion in 2015.
From the pureed food on spoons to the formula in bottles, you'd be hard pressed to find a parent who didn't want the best for their baby. And they're willing to spend for it. But for baby care manufacturers, there's plenty at stake in the battle for baby bucks.
The global baby care market is booming! But for baby care manufactures, there's plenty at state in the battle for baby bucks.
Nearly half (49%) of global respondents in Nielsen's Global Health & Wellness Survey consider themselves overweight, and a similar percentage (50%) is actively trying to lose weight. But men and women are not necessarily aligned with the steps they take in the battle of the bulge.
Despite our best intentions to eat healthily, the contents of our shopping carts don't always align with our objectives. And when we look around the globe, not everyone places health attributes atop their list of important considerations when they shop for food.
Obesity is a notable health issue in North Africa and the Middle East (AME).
Health and wellness are hot topics around the globe, and they have been for years. Despite the immense amount of attention devoted to the topic, however, the obesity rate is high—and rising. The good news, however, is that consumers around the world are taking steps to take charge of their health.

The Knicks will host the Danny Granger-less Indiana Pacers at the Garden on Sunday afternoon, their second Sunday afternoon game already this season (hopefully JR isn't partying to hard tonight. Wait that was last year, right?). Anyway, I'm glad the Knicks play an afternoon game tomorrow. The Giants are on a bye and therefore I can give the Knicks my undivided attention instead of being subjected to watching the Jets play the Rams. The Knicks are coming off their first loss of the season to a much more physical Grizzlies team on Friday night, dropping them to 6-1. They were going up against the league's leading rebounder in Zach Randolph, but the most alarming part of the loss was getting beat up on the glass for the seventh time this season. For all the things the Knicks have done very well this year, rebounding is certainly not one of them and something they need to address going forward.
After getting the loss out of the way, the Knicks will look to bounce back against a 4-6 Pacers team that they without a doubt should beat. They are one of the worst offensive teams in the league as they average only 89.3 points per game, and have the second worst offense efficiency rating of 92.2 (not very good). They also turn the ball over a lot, possessing a turnover rate of 15.65, the fourth highest in the league. They are coming off of a 103-83 blowout win against the Mavericks where they were able to find some offense. However, if the Knicks can continue their outstanding defense on the lowly Pacer offense, they should be able to take care of business on their home court. Here are a few key matchups to watch in this game:
David West vs. Carmelo Anthony: If the Knicks continue to go with their small lineup with Carmelo playing the four (which they probably will and should), they are going to need to help Anthony on the block against West. West is the Pacers leading scorer and rebounder, and can be a real menace on the offensive glass. Anthony needs to make sure he boxes out West and limits the Pacer's second chance opportunities.
Can Rasheed Wallace continue his solid play?: Through the first seven games of the season you can't be any happier with what you have seen from Sheed. He is averaging 7 and 3 to go along with a block per game. With Tyson Chandler being banged up and sick plus Amare's injury/Camby working his way back, the Knicks needed someone to defend and play in the post. Wallace has done a great job of that (it's hard for me to believe even as I type it) and will be needed down low as the Pacers have two very formidable bigs in David West and Roy Hibbert.
Starting Lineups
New York Indiana
PG-Raymond Felton PG-George Hill
SG-Jason Kidd SG-Lance Stephenson
SF-Ronnie Brewer SF-Paul George
PF-Carmelo Anthony PF-David West
C-Tyson Chandler C-Roy Hibbert
Prediction: Knicks 105, Pacers 91

If it were me, I'd keep the 4runner. New tires and a 90k service do not cost as much as a brand new rig. If your current rig does the job without any complaints, why fix what's not broken?
I guess I'm a little biased though. My Lexus(toyota) daily driver has been nothing short of phenomenal. 134k miles in under 5 years, and the most expensive repair I've made on the thing was a couple of o2 sensors. Come to think of it, that's the only repair I've had to make.
I'm with Philscbx ... but I use a truck for many other towing reasons where a diesel 2500 is minimum requirements for me as I frequently get up into the 12-15k+ range for loads. Dodge 4x4 with Cummins for me. Owned 8 over the past 21 years, wouldn't have anything else for my towing needs. I haven't gotten the 6.7 dialed in yet for higher mpg, but all the 5.9s easily tuned in to 22-24 mpg highway empty and 15-16 towing (14.7 worst case but tipped scales slightly over 21k lbs) .
I upgraded my wife's '06 4runner to a '11 4runner due to the new interior redesign and it tows our '04 X2 well over short distances (the '06 struggled a bit). Haven't tried it for any long distances yet. Will likely look into a Tahoe or Suburban in a couple years when we upgrade again to get a bit more seating capacity/room, which is what we had prior to the '06 4runner when our kids were at home. The '11 4runner gets about 21-22 open highway, 17-18 around town/highway combination (wife's normal) and 12-13 towing boat/16 foot flatbed with Kubota RTV (but again, fairly short distances), has very large rotors with very good braking. We really like the Toyotas but they really aren't designed for someone over 6 foot tall IMO. I personnally would also look into the new Durango with Hemi as it offers 7400 (RWD)/ 7200 (AWD) towing and rating similar on MPG compared to the 4runner.
I have owned the following:
2007 chevy Tahoe
2009 F150 with 5.4 liter
2000 F250 Powerstroke
2010 Cadillac Escalade
2012 F150 with Ecoboost engine
The best towing vehicle of the 5 has actually been the F150 with the Ecoboost engine, pulls my X2 effortlessly.
The 5.4 Liter with Ford worked well and I put 150k on the truck with no issues, was short on power- I had the exact same experience with my Tahoe, reliable but it struggled with hills etc...
The F250, well it towed great, sold it when I realized how well the 2012 F150 towed.
Escalade towed pretty well, the 6.2 liter engine was a beast.
I put 100k plus on every vehicle I have owned, no real problems with any of them. I am not a biased brand guy, I buy what I like, I almost bought a tundra this last go around, but I just like the F150 a little better. Two of my buddies have tundras and they have been great trucks for them.
good luck, there are a lot of good options out there right now.
I would be curious to know how heavy that Maristar is though- as well as how often you tow. If youre pushing the 7k lb tow capacity, and tow long distances regularly, then a bigger vehicle may be justified. If theyre shorter or infrequent trips, then something like the 1 ton trucks that everyone seems to love would be overkill if you dont need the extra space/capacity on a daily basis.
Wife just switched from an 03 Tahoe to a 2011 Sequoia last year and must say the Toyota is better in just about everything except fuel consumption. The Tahoe was a good truck but I pull up and down mountains and it would struggle (5.3L). With the Sequoia (5.7L) I have no problem maintaining highway speeds.
First of all, thanks for all the responses. And now as far as more details go, right now I haul the boat (about 6500lb i think) 2-3 times a month on a trip ranging from 30-60 miles and I plan on taking it about 4 times a year on a trip about 200 miles down the road so I could see hauling about 1000 miles a year. The terrain here is not Colorado mountainous by any means but I do live in the Ozarks so it gets pretty hilly at times. I don't have any kids that I know of so back seat room really isn't an issue at this time.
And as far as why I'm even considering trading, I have these concerns....1. Trade it now because after 100K miles resale value typically takes a huge hit. 2. If I keep it, I can see having to plug about $2,500 into the 4runner in the not so distant future (new tires, 90K mile service, recommended transmission cooler, weight distribution hitch), whereas if I bought new, this $2500 could go directly into a vehicle already possessing or not needing these things. I love my Toyota and never thought I would even think about another brand, but I'm just not sure the Tundra has the proven track record of the other brands but it doesn't mean I can't be persuaded otherwise. One thing is for sure, I definitely don't want to hurt my 4runner and sometimes I'm afraid I may be overdoing it hauling something this heavy. Anyway, those are the things that have me weighing my options.
What year did you graduate?

I have a 2008 Toyota Tundra 4WD with 5.7L V8. I love everything about it except the gas mileage is awful. I get 15MPG in the city and just under 10MPG pulling my 2006 X1. Although I don't care for Fords (because they were hard to work on), I have to give the nod to the new F-150's. They look sharp and it sounds like they have good gas mileage. I'm guessing Ford got with the program in the last few years after the GM bankruptcy stuff and are making solid trucks. The F-150 will probably be my next one.
I am sure people will say something ...but I but a new grand Cherokee overland with the hemi for towing our x25. 14 MPG towing in hills of Michigan ...no issue. Great tow.
I knew before I started reading the posts that the advise was going to be all over the place. If anything we will confuse the issue. My two cents are no different.
First of all when it comes to towing and mileage there is no substitute for diesel. Now for my story. I had a 2500 Dodge Ram Cummins that towed wonderfully. It replaced an F250 V-10 that would not hold speed in hill situations and got about 6 mpg towing. I was in a similar situation with pending steering component repairs and decided to get a new vehicle. Since I drive a company car the vehicle would be the wife's daily driver. She did not want a clunky truck to drive around so I gave her a choice. She could get anything we could afford AND it had to be diesel. After considering the few choices out there we went with the VW Touareg. It's mid sized and my 6'3" son fits just fine in the back seat. Not so in our 4runner. It has all wheel drive so absolutely no wheel spin issues at the ramp. It has a 7700lb tow rating. With a 3 liter diesel the thing gets about 31 mpg at 65 mph. We get about 24 in town. The torque is awesome for towing with a fairly large and flat torque curve that is mated to an eight speed transmision so it's never searching for a gear. It pulls strong and keeps speed going up grades. This is the type of tow vehicle that passes slow people in motorhomes on a two lane road. The vehicle has a substantial all around feel to it. From the solid feel of the door closing to the solid tow stability. It's a rocket ship that feels equally well doing 85+ mph. We absolutely love the vehicle and it's cool not driving a vehicle that everyone else has. It's hard to rub two of them together. The wife is excited because the 2013 Porche Cheyene which is made in the same factory along with the Audi Q7 will have the diesel next year. I can dream.
Good luck in putting a consensus from all the info thats conflicting. In the end you'll have to use your gut.

Celebrate freedom
As we remember the commemoration of the U.S. Constitution on Sept. 17, 1787, gratefully "We The People" continue to live in freedom. Following President George Washington's leadership with Congress, the final voice for the document was through the states' conventions. Delegates within each state thoroughly discussed, debated and eventually ratified the Constitution.
The United States Constitution is the oldest written national constitution still in operation. Many world nations, established in the decades since Sept. 17, 1787, have turned to this document as a model for their own constitutions. The document defines the structure of our federal government and delineates the rights of the states within the union and individual citizens within the nation. The Constitution has become a symbol to Americans and to the world as a beacon for our political principles and security in our democratic way of life.
The Constitution Day and Citizenship Day Act mandates all publicly funded educational institutions to provide programming on the history of the American Constitution. Throughout the nation this week, educators, students, citizens and the American Legion Auxiliary Units will gratefully celebrate life in freedom through the principles of the United States Constitution.

[Backroads] has put together this nicely detailed writeup explaining how to make a low cost popup prop. He's using a single pneumatic valve and a home made PVC piston to raise and lower a scary mask. He's using an off-the-shelf 110v AC valve controller to control the valve. A flickering light, a "screamer" and a fog machine help fill out the project. The result is quite nice. We would be tempted to put a pressure sensor in front of it to optimize the scare timing.

He should decorate the garbage can.
He doesn't mention where the compressed air is being supplied from, any ideas?
a compressor :p

Hello! It's Maya! Do You Remember Me?
Hello people of the blogging world! I have been away for many months due to school, life, work and a wee bit of a revelation I had one day… what is Vision Venom bringing to the fashion world? There are so many fashion bloggers out there and so many that have great content, some that have the shittiest content and some that still think Polyvore layouts are "chic" (uhun, not cool anymore.) and I just stopped writing here because I feel as though my blog isn't bringing anything to the fashion world that is innovative and creative. All Vision Venom is, is, a collection of thoughts and content that I like, gathered from other websites that originate this content, with a paragraph or so of my opinion. So I asked myself, why does anyone care what I have to say? Why should I keep VV going? I realized that I shouldn't… well, until I can figure out something creative and new that I can give to the fashion blogging world. So, if you really enjoyed this blog, I'm sorry, and maybe I will update, but, if I do Vision Venom will be a website, not a WordPress blog and I will post the link here in the future!
If you'd like to keep up with me on my other doings here are some links!
My personal Tumblr: This is where I like to post music, re-blog fashion, collect beauty, and talk about kpop (sorry, I'm not sorry!)
My design Tumblr: This is my inspiration board almost for my fashion designs and also where I post my work.
My twitter: This is where I write things and then delete them the next day because I want a "cool twitter" but, only realize after I write something it so was not cool…
xoxo Maya
