We know what you are thinking... "What a strange question to ask, it's only mid September!" Well as interior designers, we are very good at planning ahead. This is why even though it's only nearing the end of Summer here at Houston, the holiday season has been on our minds. The project we are sharing with you today is a classy formal dining room renovation.
Our designer Carly is sharing her latest master bathroom renovation project with you all today, and this is a jaw dropper! The home owner has a background in interior design herself, so she definitely has a keen eye when it comes to aesthetics. Carly was able to incorporate the home owners love of Art Deco and transformed the space into something very spa like while still family friendly. Scroll down to feast your eyes on this beauty!Would you like daily interior design inspirations deliver...
If you are like us, you will thoroughly enjoy today's post. Our designer Erika found the "Before" photos of her latest traditional home remodeling project, and we are sharing the side by side comparisons. The visual difference is uncanny, the feeling of the whole home has been transformed from closed off and dark to light and uplifting!Are you interested to see more of By Design Interior's Before and After transformations?
It's that time of the year again! Yes, it's time for our designers' favorite trip to High Point Market! There are so many great finds; we have to split all the photos into two blog posts.
By Designer Interiors is currently at High Point, North Carolina. Why are we here? Well High Point Market 2017 is happening this weekend, we've taken over our Instagram account to show you the latest consumer trends, plus new product debuts.Here are a few IG posts so far, do follow our trip at https://www.instagram.com/bydesigninteriorsinc/ to see more interesting finds.
Has this ever happened to you? You purchase a piece of clothing/bedding/furniture because it was inexpensive. Unfortunately, after a few times of wear/washing/usage, the item no longer looks/feels the same, in fact, it starts to fall apart quickly.There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to save money, but it's important to know frugality doesn't mean we should purchase cheap items.
What a glorious week we've had here at Houston, are you enjoying the sunning and warm weather as much as we have? We know it's kind of a bummer that there was only a total of 3 days of Winter this season, but hey, we didn't choose to live in Texas to be buried in snow, right?On average, there are 204 sunny days per year in Houston. This piece of factoid bring about this week's topic: WINDOWS! Do you have windows in your home?
(Whispers) Hello there, We meet again. This week we want to bring up something that's very important for everyone's sanity: Peace and Quiet... With the hustle and bustle of today's hectic life style, we understand how difficult it can be to quiet our minds. Do you find yourself feeling frustrated or agitated, even in the sanctity of your home?
Happy 2017! We hope you had a wonderful holiday, here is hoping for a great year ahead!At By Design Interiors, we listen to our clients closely, work with your style and preferences, then go back to our drawing board to come up with the perfect design for your spaces. This means we do not push the most current trends onto our clients, though we definitely keep in touch with the interior design community, and watch for new ideas.
Color selection is always an interesting topic. Some people are bold color lovers and it is evident in their clothes and homes! Others prefer a more subdued palette of neutrals. Color invokes feelings and expresses itself in many ways!
In this week's blog we will continue our tour of this sophisticated and chic modern new build home in Houston, TX! This spectacular home was designed by one of our amazing designers, Ashton Morgan, and built by Flair Builders! In this blog, we will focus on the dazzling master suite, the bathrooms and the living areas.
For the third and final blog on flirty florals, we will take a look at all things floral in accessories, faux floral arrangements and lighting! These smaller pieces can add a fresh, flirty and feminine element to the room!
We are excited to bring back our series, "Spot Light on Design", with all new projects so you can see what our talented designers have been up to! First up is an exquisite, traditional home in Tomball TX, designed by Erika Barczak! This week we will focus on the kitchen and dining areas of the home.
Trying to take in the hundreds of showrooms at High Point Market can be exhilarating and invigorating but overwhelming at the same time! Tours are offered to highlight some of the smaller showrooms or suites with designers or artist that possess exceptional talent or truly unique products! While on a tour with Celebrity Interior Designer, Bobby Berk, we were introduced to an exciting and up and coming furniture and textile designer!
This week we will continue to look at neutrals in a whole new way! Great design can elicit a variety of feelings. The exciting thing about neutrals is that you can create different moods depending on the warmth or coolness of the "colorless colors" you bring into a room!
We had a great 2015 at By Design Interiors and we look forward to making your dreams come true in 2016! We wanted to thank all of our clients and vendors and wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a blessed 2016!
As the weather cools and the leaves change colors (or if you live in Houston, the pine needles fall) we are drawn to cozier fabrics, and nothing says fall like plaid! This traditional pattern is transitioning straight from the runways into home décor!
Typically, lighting is one of the last things to be
considered on a remodel or new home. We think it is time to move it up on the
list of priorities! With all the fantastic lighting options, you can not only
brighten up your space but you can also bring in elements of your personality!
These creative lighting fixtures push the envelope and make a statement!
Throughout history, the chair has symbolized different
periods of history like no other piece of furniture. The chair has been witness
to an ever changing evolution of interiors; from Ancient Greece, to Medieval times to
Mid-Century. Chairs pose a design challenge because they need to combine form,
function and be aesthetically beautiful!
Whether it is in your kitchen, master bathroom, bar or
powder bathroom; backsplashes can infuse personality into a space! Backsplashes
can be a stunning focal point in a room by adding color, texture or dimension
to a room! As designers, we consider the backsplash to be an exciting design
element where we have the opportunity to combine materials to create a custom
design like no other!
Powder baths can be transformed into the ultimate accessory
rooms, like the jewelry box of a home! These half bathrooms are so much fun to
design because you can really let your creativity flow freely and take some
risks. Because of their small size, you
can try intense colors, unusual materials or use dramatic features without fear!
love luminous, sparkling things like crystal and glass, but acrylic has the added
benefit of not breaking, chipping or shattering! Although
acrylic furniture gives a space a weightless, light and airy feel, it is
actually quite strong and heavy!
Furniture hardware can be thought of like jewelry
that you wear to polish off an outfit! Sometimes you go for the big, bold
statement necklace, other times you wear a classic piece that is subtle and
refined. The same goes for hardware on furniture; it can change the entire look
of a piece!
We are going
to add a new and exciting series to our blogs called "Spotlight on
Design" that will feature a fantastic project completed by one of our
extraordinary designers! This monthly feature will take the reader through the
intricate thought process behind the design, the process itself and the
fantastic end results! This month's
spotlight will be on a truly amazing project for a contemporary home by
our talented designer, Erika Barczak, described in her own words.
This week we will continue our look at inspired wooden furniture, sculptures, art and accessories! Wood is one of those natural products that can bring in all sorts of looks from classic traditional, English country, Southwestern rustic to modern chic and much, much more!
In this week's blog we will continue to explore how the
economic upswing is positively affecting the interior design world! Interior
designers and furniture designers are combining modern glamour with classic
sophistication to give us luxurious looks! The great thing about these bold and
bright metal accents and exquisite material choices is that they coordinate
effortlessly with modern, transitional and traditional design aesthetics!

cosmicfantasia necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 28 diseños de 12 diseñadores freelance.
A redesign of the site @ http://australianmacadamia.com.au is required. There will be some differences to the new site than the current one, so please read the long description for all of the details.
Australian Macadamia
Naturally, the best
Desired Color Scheme:
inline with companies new branding. cards, letterhead and logo, are found on ftp in long description
Desired Style:
Engaging, clean and stylish. Inline with companies new branding. cards, letterhead and logo, are found on ftp in long description
Accepted File Formats:
layered psd
A redesign of the site @ http://australianmacadamia.com.au is required. There will be some differences to the new site than the current one.
In particular the dropping of the Growing section and inclusion of the Macadamia Story section.
So the main categories in the navigation will be:
Macadamia Story
About us
When designing the navigation there must be room for Growing to be re-added at a later date.
As far as the menu's go, I am going to use a menu component which allows images
to be used in hierarchal menu structures. For an example goto:
and then click the 'preview' button for 'MyGosu Menu Picture Demo'. I am very keen to use this MyGosu Menu Picture type of menu in the design. I don't mean use their graphics, please design something new to fit with the site. But it is the component I will use and the type of thing I like.
You will see that item 1 , item 2, etc.. are images. 1 image for normal state
and another for rollover. These can look however you want. The sub items aren't
pictures though, but you can choose the color scheme.
As I said the design needs to be engaging, clean and stylish. The company has just completed a rebranding strategy and the new logo, business cards and letter head can be found on the following ftp site:
username: aussiemac
pass: macaussie
The design needs to tightly complement what the existing cards and letter head look like.
I will leave it up to the designer to whether they believe the design should be fixed width or fluid/variable width. If the designer chooses fixed width then it should be centered and a suitable background must be incorporated into the design for those viewing with large screen resolutions. No fixed width sites sitting in the middle of a screen with no background to nicely finish it off please.
The tagline is 'Naturally, the best'
Layered PSD files are required and the winning designer would need to sign over copyright upon final payment.

Finally, Wrestlemania week is here. The final stop for Monday Night RAW is in Chicago, with the Rock, John Cena, and WWE champion, The Miz, under the same roof. The Windy City also happens to be the home of CM Punk.
Punk kicks off the show sitting in the ring, with the crowd chanting his name. He says he will miss this in Atlanta, he doesn't think that he will receive the same ovation. Punk calls out Orton for taking out Nexus, but Punk calls himself a realist. Punk says losing Nexus isn't his problem; Randy Orton is his problem. He says Orton he has a false sense of security, and takes us back to last week. (By the way, Orton's "wife" may want to invest in some acting lessons.)
And the crowd turns on him. Punk says he is just getting started, but will close this sick and twisted chapter at Wrestlemania.
Before Punk can leave the ring, Orton makes his way to the ring, visibly limping with a heavily bandaged knee. Punk cuts him off at the ropes, but Orton counters and hits the elevated DDT. Orton stalks his prey, and lines up the punt. Orton's knee gives out, and Punk escapes getting kicked in the head. With Orton injured Punk toys with him in the ring, kicking him in the knee. Punk picks Orton up and drops him with the GTS.
Edge and Christian are on RAW, because Edge is allowed to get his hands on Alberto Del Rio on this show, but not Smackdown! Edge says the RAW GM isn't that bad.
Match #1 � Edge and Christian vs. Alberto Del Rio and Brodus Clay
Edge and Clay face off and Edge gets the upper hand. He quickly tags in his partner, and they flip Clay over the top rope. Christian looks for a plancha, but Clay catches him. Edge connects on a baseball slide to take Clay to the floor. We go to commercial.
After the break, Del Rio is in control. He knocks Christian to the mat. Edge gets the hot tag, as Clay also tags in. Edge gets caught on a cross body, but he fights out, and takes the big man to the mat. Del Rio trips Edge up though, and Christian takes him out. Edge dodges a charge, bounces off the ropes, and spears Clay. He covers to get the win.
Winner via pinfall: Edge and Christian
On the outside, Del Rio locks in the cross arm breaker on Christian. Edge chases Del Rio off. Edge goes to check on his friend, but Del Rio jumps him from behind, and locks in the cross arm breaker.
After more commercials, we got to the announce position. Michael Cole gets an email for the GM. He wants to see if Jerry Lawler is ready for Wrestlemania, so he will face Jack Swagger, tonight.
Match #2 � Santino Marella w/Tamina, Vladimir Kozlov, Big Show, and Kane vs. Justin Gabriel w/ The Corre
Michael Cole lets us know that all these superstars will face each other in an eight man tag at Wrestlemania. And Santino wins after hitting Gabriel with the cobra.
Winner via pinfall: Santino Marella
After the match, Santino celebrates with his team, but Kane is not amused, until he does his own trombone dance.
Sexy Boy breaks the silence, as Shawn Michaels makes his return to RAW! Michaels apologizes for interrupting, but says there was no way he was going to miss this. HBK puts the match over, but then wants to know why Triple H thinks he can do what Shawn couldn't. Hunter says the truth is HBK got soft, and he has to -- and will -- win. He says he is here for one reason, to look the Undertaker dead in the eyes, and tell him it's time to hang it up. Triple H says he is the one, as in 18-1.
Undertaker says it ain't that time. The streak will live. If Hunter doesn't want to take his word for it, ask HBK. Undertaker sees HBK as a humbled man, full of regret. A man whose career he ended. HBK goes for Sweet Chin Music, but Taker blocks it a grabs him by the throat. Hunter breaks it up, and gets in Taker's face. Hunter wants Shawn to tell Taker why he will end the streak. HBK has nothing to say and leaves the ring. And on that note, Undertaker walks off.
Match #3 � Jerry "The King" Lawler vs. Jack Swagger w/ Michael Cole
King makes the mistake of going after Cole, and Swagger knocks him to the mat. Swagger follows with a splash off the turnbuckle, and then knocks Lawler from the ring. He tosses the King over the security barrier, as Cole eggs him on. Lawler fights back with a chair, getting himself disqualified. That doesn't stop the King, who continues the beating, until he goes after Cole, who has retreated to his Plexiglas shell. Security prevents King from getting to Cole, who yells at him.
Winner via DQ: Jack Swagger
Need instant heat? Just add Vicki Guerrero. She comes out on stage, and imitates John Morrison's entrance, a week after pinning him. She calls out Snooki before Dolph Ziggler makes his way to the ring.
Match #4 � Dolph Ziggler and King Sheamus w/ Vicki Guerrero vs. Daniel Bryan and John Morrison
Sheamus hits Bryan with the high cross, or Pale Justice according to Cole, to get the win.
Winner via pinfall: King Sheamus and Dolph Ziggler
Scott Stanford asks Orton if he will make it to Wrestlemania. Orton talks about his anger management issues, ruining careers of men he barely knew. Orton says he despises CM Punk. Orton says the question should be will CM Punk make it out.
The final inductees into the WWE Hall of Fame are the Road Warriors and Paul Ellering.
Trish Stratus and Snooki join us from a bar. Snooki says Trish has been training her well, but some idiot keeps interrupting them. Snooki smacks the guy and the bouncers escort him out. Turns out Michelle McCool and Layla are also in the bar. Snooki throws a drink at them and a cat fight ensues.
The Rock is finally back on RAW, live. Rocky calls out John Cena, and Cena obliges. He tells Rock that he belongs here. Cena says he was one of the millions of Rock's fans when he ran his mouth. Cena wanted to know why he left. Cena points to crowd and how much they love The Rock. Everything Cena said had meaning and merit, while he wanted to know what problem Rock had with him. Cena is upset that Rock has attacked the person Cena is and how he chooses to be. Cena wants to know who is the Rock to judge.
The Rock says he is going to whoop him. Cena is ready for a fight, and then The Miz interrupts, with Alex Riley in tow. Miz can't believe is being upstaged by the O-brothers, overhyped and over-rated. Miz tells Cena he will lose, but at least he will go down swinging, unlike the Rock. Miz has a secret, Rock is not going to do a thing, because he doesn't want to ruin his movie star rep by getting beat up and embarrassed.
Rocks tells Miz it doesn't matter what he thinks. Riley sucker punches Rock and Miz jumps in. Rocky fights back, knocking Riley from the ring, and dropping Miz with a DDT. Rock hits the people's elbow and tosses Miz out of the ring. Rock turns around, only to get an Attitude Adjustment from Cena. The show ends with Rocky down in the ring.

Always free admission to the open mic. No drink min. No promises 🙂
The Mad House Open Mic! Come watch careers begin and dreams die.. 5 min at a time 🙂
The Open Mic is open to anyone. The Mad House doesn't audition comics for the open mic, It's quite literally "open" to anyone who wants to get up and try., The open mic is always free with no food or drink minimum.
Mad House Comedy Club
801 4th Avenue
San Diego, CA, 92101
Doors 9:30 PM
This event is 18 and over
The Mad House Open Mic! Come watch careers begin and dreams die.. 5 min at a time 🙂
Here is how the open mic works. Unless something odd happens, we have open mics 4 nights a week Sun – Wed at 930pm. Check the website for exact times.
To perform you need to email firstname.lastname@example.com on Sunday of the week you'd like to perform, between 12 & 4pm PST. List your name, and which open mic night you'd like to perform on. It's completely okay to ask for all shows if you wish but you'll be expected to perform on all the nights for which you request. At 4pm Sun the email period closes. We'll email you back a confirmation you're on the show or shows you've requested.
Please do not email in for shows you aren't sure you can perform on if selected, or request multiple shows to get a better chance of getting on just one show. That practice takes spots away from other comedians and disrupts the show. The host and staff will note the names of performers who don't show up for spots they've requested.
There is a second way onto the open mic shows. You can physically show up at the club, and sign up, on the "alternate list". The alternate list is not a guarantee. When comedians who have spots on the show don't show up, or we have extra time, the host will pull comedians from the alternate list. Sometime they make it through the entire alternate list, and sometimes they don't get to it at all. The alternate list is made available for sign ups a short time before the start of open mic . To use the alternate list, you have to physically be at the club, you can't add your name via phone/email etc.
The Mad House bookers, hosts of the open mic, and staff all pay attention to who is consitantly doing great on the open mic, who's working hard to get better. They will select those comedians for other opportunites at the Mad House such as becoming a Mad House Regular, hosting opportunities, spots on other shows at the Mad House. No one is getting bumped or downgraded for bombing, which is a normal part of learning stand up, so don't worry about that. So long as comedians are working hard and trying their best everyone is going to be happy.
Note a few things.
· Sets are usually 5 min.
· Sets are uncensored.
· If you go over the time you will be played off stage.
· Check in with the host when you arrive at the club.
· The order comedians will go onstage is made by the host, at show time. Please do not call the comedy club and ask when your time slot is, as the operator won't know.
· Please do not call the club to see if you're on the show. If your name isn't on the posted list, your name wasn't drawn.
· There is no two drink min for the open mic shows, and there is never a two drink min for any performing comedian at the Mad House Comedy Club regardless of the night or show.
Last and most important. PLEASE DO NOT CALL THE CLUB BOX OFFICE PHONE NUMBER WITH OPEN MIC QUESTIONS. All the info you need is right here on this page. If you have unanswered questions come to the open mic and speak with some of the comedians on the shows. The Mad House doesn't make money on the open mic shows. We have them every night to give up and coming comics as much stage time as possible to practice their craft. Calling the box office with open mic questions while we are trying to serve the paying customers that keep the club going is crazy frustrating and has lead to 13 preventable deaths.
The Open Mic is Always Free with no Food or Drink Minimum.

| Everything you know about Injection Attack is wrong: This casual talk will take a look at several mundane vulnerabilities that we all know about and ask a few deeper questions. What are the underlying mechanisms? Does our advice on preventing them *actually* work? Is there a better way when you think of software design patterns? By the end, we'll challenge the audience to think past the surface of these code vulnerabilities and hopefully learn a little about how the right abstraction model can save tons of security headaches.

It doesn't matter where we are or where we're going, it seems all my two seem to do lately in the back of the car is fight.
Within about two seconds of the car door slamming shut, and us tootling off down the road, IT STARTS.
The annoying each other.
One of the most annoying childhood games since time began seems to be the favourite at the moment.
You know, that one where whatever one says, the other one has to copy EXACTLY what the other says.
Child one – "Do you know what I did at school today?"
Child two – "Do you know what I did at school today?"
Child one – "No, I'm asking you a question."
Child two – "No, I'm asking YOU a question."
One – "Mummy, he's annoying me!"
Two – "Mummy, he's annoying me!"
and so on, and so ON.
I don't know who it was who invented that timeless game in the first place, but they need to be taken out the back and shot. With a great big gun. Twice.
It's even worse when you're in a traffic jam, and there's no escape.
Just the incessant whining. Or poking at each other. Poke. Prod. Pinch.
Followed by tears and the inevitable "waaaaaahhhhh he hurt me!"
I've become expert in distraction techniques, with such 'fantastic'
ahem games such as:
"The Numberplate Game"
(also known as see how many numberplates you can see with starting with the letter A, Z, whatever game.)
The shout out when you see a lorry game.
"First one to see a Marks and Spencer lorry, say AHH!"
Or you can't beat a good old rendition of "the wheels on the car go round, and round, round and round"…
Well it sure beats chucking myself in front of the good old Marks and Spencer lorry's wheels.
Give me strength….
If you're in a car, these do prove invaluable though.
If you're needing a car and some car hire in the UK there's here for all your needs.

Two-thirds of Americans now believe President Obama was mostly motivated by politics in deciding to back same-sex marriage.
Wow—what a shocker!
Imagine, a president running for reelection who considers the impact of his decisions on whether he can keep his job.
Of course Obama was motivated by politics, at least in part. The majority who said so in the New York Times/CBS poll out Tuesday are right. But why was that deemed dramatic enough to become the NYT's lead?
The White House naturally had to consider the impact on gay voters, an important Democratic constituency, as well as gay donors. The 24 percent who said he made the decision on marriage mostly because he thinks it is right also have a point--I have little doubt that Obama also believes gays should be able to marry.
Had Obama come out against same-sex marriage—which would have cost him that multicolored halo on Newsweek's cover—that also would have been a political decision. Politics may be a dirty word these days, but that's how these kinds of questions get resolved in a democracy. If Obama didn't take the politics into account—that is, can he garner support for his position—he would be guilty of malpractice. (Yes, he is leaving the matter up to the states, but surely he has transformed the debate by weighing in.)
Was George W. Bush being political, and trying to rouse his base, when he campaigned for a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage? Of course—just like he was being political by using 9/11 footage and the war on terror to win a second term.
Was Bill Clinton being political when he signed the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996, months before facing the voters for the last time? Clinton now says he regrets the law defining marriage as being between a man and a woman—which the Obama Justice Department says in unconstitutional—but he succumbed to the politics of the moment.
The worst indictment of an officeholder is that he did something he didn't believe in for reasons of political expedience. I don't think Obama can be accused of that, although he sure took his time evolving.
Footnote: The Obama camp is pushing back against the poll's overall finding, that Mitt Romney leads the president 46 to 43 percent. Deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter told MSNBC that the survey is based on a "biased" sample.

Products, Public Service
By By Ernie Stephens | July 1, 2009
Send Feedback
Law enforcement officers are creatures of contradiction. They believe in routine, but got into the business of public safety because they don't want a nine-to-five job doing the same old thing day after day. They like order, but you'd never know that if you were to see a group of them at a local bar once they are off duty. And even though they will pledge their undying loyalty to just one police car, they've been known to switch that loyalty to a different model once they have driven it for a few months. And so it goes with their helicopters. (I know, because I was once a flying police officer myself.)
Currently, every major helicopter company has a model that is used in police service, albeit some more than others. Listed alphabetically by manufacturer, the models that have found the most popularity with law enforcement agencies have been AgustaWestland's A109 (they began calling it the AW109 about a year ago); Bell's 206B JetRanger, 206L LongRanger and 407; Eurocopter's AS350 A-Star; MD Helicopters' MD500 series; Robinson's R44; and Schweitzer's 300, now called the Sikorsky S300. Yes, other makes and models are used by law enforcement, but these are the most common ones used for pure airborne law enforcement, as opposed to medical transport and police work.
But if you peer through the door of police hangars across North America, chances are you will find two models of helicopters with a much greater frequency than the others. They are the Eurocopter AS350 A-Star and the Bell 206B, 206L and 407. I'm lumping the AS350 B2 and B3 together, as well as the three Bells, because the people who participated in this and previous surveys rarely cited inter-manufacturer differences that were specific to one particular AS350 or 206B/L or 407 variant.
Before examining which of the two bloodlines is preferred, a short history lesson may be in order.
Back in the mid 1960s when police chiefs and sheriffs began to officially add air units to their organizational charts, the helicopter of choice was almost always the piston-driven Bell 47; that bubble-nosed, girder-tailed veteran of the Korean War and star of the long-running television show, "M*A*S*H." Heck, even the "Batcopter," which was flown by comic book crime fighters Batman and Robin, was a fancifully modified Bell 47!
By the late 1970s, the turbine-powered Bell 206B Jet Ranger, which gained notoriety as the first helicopter designed with both military and commercial applications in mind, nudged the venerable but aging model 47 out to pasture to become the most popular helicopter wearing a badge. The Hughes 369, the forerunner to what is now the MD500, as well as the piston-powered Schweitzer 269, were runners up. That was it for choices. And frankly, it worked well. The 47s and the 269s were "just the facts, ma'am" helicopters that were inexpensive to acquire and operate, but could only carry a crew of two. The 369s and the JetRangers were technically five-place helicopters, which gave them the versatility to carry more gear, take other officers aloft, and even chauffeur the occasional government official in an effort to curry favor — and a friendly attachment — to the helicopter unit.
From my vantage point as a helicopter pilot in the late 1980s to my retirement from the job of police pilot a couple of years ago, law enforcement agencies still chose the Hughes 269/Schweitzer 300 for fledgling units or small city patrols. And even though the company that owned the 369 went from being Hughes to McDonnell Douglas, to Boeing, to MD Helicopters during the course of the years, the hearty little egg-shaped helicopter remained a much-loved police mount.
Somewhere in the neighborhood of the late 1990s, however, came the French-built Eurocopter (formerly Aerospatiale) A-Star. It was originally called the Ecureuil, which is French for squirrel.
The Ecureuil's Lycoming turbine made the six-seat, light single-engine helicopter a non-contender in police circles; that, however, is until it was given a Turbomecca engine with a lot more horses and changed its demeaning name (in America, anyway) from squirrel to A-Star. All of a sudden, law enforcement agencies began following their European counterparts and giving them a try.
In 2003, MD Helicopters started experiencing financial difficulties, causing its parts supply lines to all but cease. When some police agencies feared having to ground their beloved 500s for want of parts, they began looking to other brands to fly. The obvious choice, it seemed, was Bell, which was enjoying success with its four-bladed, five-seat 407, as well as the 206L LongRanger. So, there was a surge in the purchase of police Bells.
Bell began churning out aircraft for law enforcement agencies, as well as continuing to feed the parts-hungry OH-58s — the military version of the 206B — that were seeing heavy service in the Iraq War and in Afghanistan in the War on Terrorism. As the wait time for new 206Ls and 407s increased, police chiefs and sheriffs, who were in a hurry to "use or lose" Homeland Security grant money, looked to Eurocopter (renamed American Eurocopter in honor of their U.S.-based manufacturing facility in Fort Worth, Texas) for a quick turnaround on new helicopters. They were comforted to discover that the A-Star was not as squirrelly as they had once thought and began buying them up. The two biggest converts were the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and the Phoenix Police Department. With L.A. County — owners of the largest police helicopter fleet in the country — it meant swapping a dozen MD520s and MD600s for AS350s. Phoenix — the 1991 launch customer for the tail rotor-less MD520 NOTAR — traded its fleet of nine aircraft for three AS350s and three AgustaWestland AW119s. The door for the AS350 to enter the U.S. police market, which had been unlocked by the City of Los Angeles Police Department a few years earlier when it bought several A-Stars, had now been kicked wide open. Cops were telling other cops that the A-Star was a good helicopter, too.
Who bought how many helicopters, what kind they bought and when they bought them is difficult to track, but when the heavy spending days of the post September 11 world settled down, Bell, the formerly anointed kingpin of turbine police helicopters, had lost a lot of its law enforcement market share to Eurocopter. MD Helicopter was turning its financial life around under new management, thus keeping the remaining faithful MD500 lovers from leaving the fold. But the company effectively missed out on the feeding frenzy that made up the public service and military helicopter markets from 2003 to 2007 because potential buyers were still skeptical of the company's strength.
The result is a new helicopter order, where federal, state and local peace officers are overwhelmingly flying Bell's 206B, 206L and 407 lines, or Eurocopter's AS350 B1, B2 and B3 family of aircraft. After speaking with dozens of airborne law enforcement personnel, a very small list of deal-breaking differences led public safety heads to select one brand of helicopter over the other.
The first degree of separation, if you will, was in size. The AS350 is a taller, longer machine with a larger, more open cabin.
"It's a million times better than the Bell," said Officer Matthew C. Jackson, chief tactical flight officer of the Baltimore County (Md.) Police Department of its three AS350s. "In this cabin, I can literally climb in the backseat during flight [to work a rescue hoist], and with the extra space, I have more equipment I can carry."
Baltimore County also flies with a third officer as often as possible to reduce the workload during pursuits. "We've got a lot of big boys here," chuckled Sergeant Ron Wines, Baltimore's chief pilot. "It's nice having a lot of room to work up there." Both he and Jackson added that the extra space allows them to carry deployable flotation devices for water rescues, and that the lack of a wall between the front and the back seats gives everyone onboard an unsurpassed field of view of the outside world.
Lieutenant Tony Minnis, the assistant aviation section commander for the Orange County (Fla.) Sheriff's Office agrees that his flight crews liked the spacious cabin of the AS350 they examined when hunting for a new helicopter, but found it to be of little consequence when compared to their decades-long association with Bell. "The biggest factor was that we had a relationship with Bell," said Minnis, whose agency has been flying OH-58s for more than 20 years, and 407s since 1997. "We have four mechanics who are tooled for Bell," he added, explaining that it was more practical to stick with an aircraft the agency was already well-capable of supporting.
Power always comes into the conversation whenever aircraft are compared. Matching the A-Star with, in this case, the 407, was no exception.
"It has tons of power," said Wines of Baltimore County's blue and white AS350 B3s with the Turbomecca 2B1 powerplants. "It's great for doing rescues in and carrying passengers."
Minnis saw it differently. "We didn't see enough of a difference in power to make us stray from our comfort zone," he said of Orange County's decision to stick with Bell. Its 407s came equipped with the Rolls-Royce 250-C47B engine.
Both officers, however, admitted that moving up from the old surplus Bell OH-58s their departments had been flying made almost anything else seem like a rocket by comparison.
And then there's the cost factor. How much did police operators have to pay for their Bells and Eurocopters. The answer to that was about what could be expected from a government agency and a pair of helicopter manufacturers who have been slugging it out in the marketplace for several years, now: "No comment." Understandably, federal, state and local government police officers are heavily restricted from talking about sale prices, high-ranking officials never like to discuss money issues, and aircraft manufacturers, also understandably, don't want to discuss the intricacies of the special deals they gave to make it to the boardroom of the competition. But, both Minnis and Wines admitted that cost carried a lot of weight when trying to decide which helicopter to purchase.
"It's not that big a difference," said Minnis when asked about what his county paid for its 2007 Bell 407 compared to the price they would have paid for a comparably equipped AS350 B2 or B3.
Wines said Baltimore's 2007 A-Star was "priced comparably" with the 407.
Both Minnis and Wines were representative of other officers — and myself, for that matter — with their comparisons of the Eurocopter A-Star versus the Bell 206s and 407. There's just no way to say one aircraft is an inherently better police helicopter than the other, unless you ask the sales representatives of the various helicopter companies. And as crazy as that might sound, sales people in the aviation world will often put the needs of a potential customer ahead of getting a commission. It is not uncommon to have one say, "My helicopter is not going to be what you want it to be, and here's why." After all, they know that each agency has its own set of priorities, working environment and budget to take into consideration. Matching those issues with the wrong aircraft is a reputation killer for the sales rep and the company he or she represents.
But regardless of whether Eurocopter or Bell make the best police helicopter, all glory can be fleeting. Being the two most popular police helicopters today only makes them the two most popular police helicopters today. All of the other companies have regular discussions on how to unseat the leaders. Who will have the most sought after police helicopters five years from now? Only time will tell.

Interdisciplinary and intersectional approaches to women and work; gender studies; qualitative research methods; sociology of disability
Cheryl Najarian Souza's research involves doing an intersectional analysis, which includes looking at social phenomena while considering race, class, gender, and ability. In her book, "Between Worlds: Deaf Women, Work, and Intersections of Gender and Ability" (Routledge, 2006) she investigated how Deaf women experience their lives in their educations, paid work, and in their unpaid work as mothers. Currently, she is collecting data on her new research project, "Moms and Dads on the Hill: How Men and Women Politicians Balance Work and Family," where she is exploring how both men and women politicians experience their lives as public officials and how they negotiate this experience with their private family lives. Through the use of interviews and observations of respondents, she is investigating how these individuals create, manage, implement, and use public policies. As with her previous research, she is exploring this topic while using sociological, gender studies, and disability studies frameworks.
She is a Faculty Affiliate in the Center for Women and Work and a former Director of the Gender Studies Program. She is also a Visiting Scholar at the Center for Women in Politics & Public Policy at UMass Boston. Her courses include Introduction to Sociology, the Sociology of Gender, Sociological Research II, Sociology of Disability, and Feminist Methodologies.

Happy holidays from Walker Stapleton
Treasurer Walker Stapleton send Christmas cards to more than 1,000 people and no wonder, considering his connections.
He's one of five state executive officers in Colorado. His great grandfather, Ben Stapleton, was the longest-serving mayor of Denver. And he's a second cousin to former President George Herbert Walker Bush.
The Christmas card list is so big, Stapleton said, that he suggested to his wife Jenna they hire a company to do the labels. Jenna, who addresses each envelope personally, nixed that.
The picture on this year's card shows Stapleton has kept off the weight he lost last year, something else he credits his wife for. And he makes no apologies for putting his kids on the cover of the card and including separate shots of them inside.
"When you have kids as cute as mine — offsetting my features — you need to highlight them," he said.

The new movie Zero Dark Thirty, which tells the story of the tracking and eventual killing of Osama Bin Laden, has received several Oscar nominations (including Best Picture), but it's attracting another kind of attention as well: several writers, including Jane Meyer at The New Yorker and Peter Maass at The Atlantic, have accused it of condoning or even glorifying the use of torture by US intelligence agencies.
Since at least the days of Birth of a Nation (1915), Hollywood has turned to history for material. A quick survey of this year's Academy Award nominations shows that this is as true now as ever, with five out of the nine nominees for Best Picture – Argo, Django Unchained, Les Miserables, Zero Dark Thirty and odds-on favourite Lincoln – based in history in some way. Their approaches vary, of course, with the history-as-backdrop approach of Les Miserables, the revenge fantasy of Django Unchained, the academic character study of Lincoln, the docudrama of Zero Dark Thirty and the history-as-thriller of Argo.
After the controversy surrounding last year's proposed copyright bill C-61, which eventually died on the order table when Parliament was prorogued, the Federal government has decided to hold consultations across Canada before introducing a new version of the bill. While only time will tell how responsive the government will be to the public's submissions, the series of town halls and round tables is definitely a good start in making the process transparent and taking the views of a wide variety of Canadians into account. Below is an expanded version of MNet's submission to the Round Table held in Gatineau, Quebec on July 29th 2009.
A recent case involving lawmakers who want to access data on the computer of a woman accused of engaging in a mortgage scam in Colorado has opened up a virtual Pandora's box of legal questions: American courts are currently struggling with whether or not suspects can be forced to show authorities how to access their encrypted information and the repercussions of their ruling could affect Canadian law as well.
Our kids are coming of age at a time that things like online shopping, Facetime, and texting are all normal everyday occurrences. Technology is enabling people to do some pretty amazing things, and even communicate in a whole new way using a new language. You may know this as texting.
The hottest media story in the past week has been the instantly infamous New Yorker cover portraying Barack Obama and his wife Michelle as terrorists. Though the Obama campaign has been measured in its response, media outlets – and particularly bloggers – have been vocal in their disapproval. Some have suggested that the cover crosses the line from satire into hate speech, while others accuse TheNew Yorker of giving 'aid and comfort to the enemy' by visually depicting the smears and misconceptions that have been aimed at the candidate.
One of the most noted aspects of the Internet is its anonymity: by and large, people online will treat you as whoever you say you are. In the West, this is often used for mischief or identity play, but in other parts of the world anonymity can have a much more significant and liberating effect.
People who make their living producing images, such as photographers, stylists, publicists, directors and pop idols, learn how to use those signs to convey the impression they want to make. Although teen girls who are trying to send a signal to their circle of friends and pop music producers who are trying to send a signal to an audience of millions are working on different scales, the principle is very much the same. Depending on your audience, you need to tailor the signals you send out very carefully. Even your age can have a certain amount of wiggle room when dressed in the right signs.
Teachers who include media literacy in their classrooms often face issues that don't arise in other subjects. Nothing illustrates this better than the issue of diversity in media. It's not unreasonable for teachers to see the topic as a can of worms and be concerned about offending students and their parents – not to mention worrying about what the students themselves might say. At the same time, it's a topic that is simply too important to be ignored: what we see in media hugely influences how we see others, ourselves and the world. As a result, an ability to analyze media depictions of diversity is not only a key element of being media literate, it's essential to understanding many of the social issues and concerns that we face as citizens. That's why Media Awareness Network has developed That's Not Me – a new online tutorial for professional development to help educators and community leaders approach this issue through key concepts of media literacy.
This is the first in a series of blogs looking at the history and future of Web 2.0. From Facebook pages to viral Barack Obama speeches, the latest boom to hit the media is the rise of user-created content. Services such as Facebook and YouTube have created a new business model: rather than selling content to consumers, as media companies traditionally have done.

Video: Overview of the new features and enhancements
You can now use a keyboard shortcut to quickly create a new sequence title based on the current sequence title in the Timeline.
In the Timeline, press Alt (Win) or Option (Mac OS) and drag a current title. A new unique title is created. Using the keyboard shortcut in the Timeline creates the same result as using the New Title Based on Current Title option in the Titler.
The newly created title is not a duplicate of the original title and does not reference the original master clip. Any revisions made to this new title are not reflected in the original title or its instances.
Some important points:
- The Copy/Paste feature continues to use the workflow where duplicate instances are created and linked back to the original master title clip.
- Besides the methods already mentioned, there are other methods to create a duplicate title. For example, you can use the Match Frame feature in the track item to load the master clip title in the Source monitor. You can then edit the title back into the sequence, or find the original master clip title manually and edit that into the sequence.
The Lift or Extract feature in Premiere Pro lets you easily move portions of selected clips from one sequence to another.
In previous versions, Premiere Pro required you to set both an In and Out point to define the range to be "Lifted" or "Extracted". For a quick look at how this feature worked earlier, read this tutorial from Clay Asbury.
The Lift or Extract feature is now enhanced to work when either an In point or an Out point is set. When only an In point is set, Lift or Extract works on the segment starting from the In point and ending at the sequence end. When only an Out point is set, Lift or Extract works on the segment from the beginning of the sequence to the Out point.
The Cut, Copy, Clear functions in Premiere Pro work on targeted tracks that have In or Out points set in that range. You can use these functions without selecting specific clips in the sequence.
If you set only an In point, then an In/Out range is not required. The Cut, Copy, Clear functions work on the targeted tracks from the In point to the end of the sequence. Similarly, when you set only an Out point, the Cut, Copy, Clear functions work on the targeted tracks from the beginning of the sequence to the Out point.
You can now quickly toggle between the states of enabled clips. While previewing edits, this feature helps you switch back and forth between two different playback results.
When you select multiple clips with mixed settings, you can use the Enable Clip command as a toggle to enable/disable the clip. For example, if Clip A is enabled and Clip B is disabled, selecting both clips together and using Enable Clip results in disabling Clip A and enabling Clip B.
To use the Enable Clip command, right-click (Win) or Ctrl-click (Mac OS) a clip in the Timeline, and select Enable from the context menu.
In previous versions of Premiere Pro, the Match Frame command used Track Targeting to identify the clip in the Timeline to match. Now, clip selection supersedes track targeting. When you select a clip, Match Frame ignores track targeting, and matches to the frame under the playhead in the selected clip.
Some important points:
- When you select a clip, ensure that you place the playhead on a frame within the selected clip. If the playhead is placed on a frame outside the selected clip, Track Targeting is used, and the frame on the topmost targeted track is matched.
- When you select multiple clips, the playhead is placed over more than one clip. The Match Frame command then matches the topmost clip.
The Link Media command is now available for offline sequences. This command lets you relink all the media used in a specific sequence without having to relink all the media in the project.
Using the Link Media command
- Right-click (Win) or Ctrl-click (Mac) an offline sequence and select Link Media from the context menu. All the clips used in that sequence appear in the Locate Media dialog.
- Relink the offline sequences just as you would relink any selection of offline clips.
Alternatively, in the Timeline panel, right-click (Win) or Ctrl-click (Mac OS) a sequence tab, and select Link Media from the context menu.
In previous versions of Premiere Pro, you manually deleted key tracks and transitions to create simple EDL (Edit Decision List) files. You can now exclude key tracks and transitions directly from the EDL Export dialog.
The EDL export dialog includes two new options that let you include or exclude key tracks and transitions.
- Include Key Track
- Include Transitions
By default, the Include Key Track option is deselected and the Include Transitions option is selected.
To export an EDL without transitions or key clips, deselect Include Transitions or Include Key Track. The transitions and V2 clips are retained in the sequence.
A clip displayed in the Source Monitor can be easily located in the Project panel.
Load a clip in the Source monitor and right-click (Windows) or Ctrl-click (Mac OS) a clip in a sequence, and choose Reveal In Project. Premiere Pro then locates the source clip in the Project panel and selects it.
Premiere Pro provides a Linked Selection command that can be applied to all open sequences in the Timeline panels. You can use the Linked Selection command as a toggle that you can turn on and off. Linked Selection is turned on by default.
The Linked Selection command is available as a button from the Timeline, and from the Sequence menu. You can also assign a keyboard shortcut to this feature.
When Linked Selection is turned on, clicking a linked clip in the Timeline automatically selects all the associated tracks. For example, if you click the video part of a linked A/V clip, the audio is automatically selected.
When Linked Selection is turned off, only the single track item that you click is selected, and not all the associated tracks.
You can temporarily override a toggle state by pressing Alt (Win) or Opt (Mac) while selecting the track. For example, if Linked Selection is turned on, and you press Alt (Win) or Opt (Mac) while selecting a linked clip, only the single track that you click is selected.
This feature lets you select a sequence clip and locate its linked media file on disk.
The Reveal in Explorer (Win) or Reveal In Finder (Mac OS) command is available in the clip context menu. When you choose this command for a selected clip, the Finder or Explorer folder containing the clip's linked media file is opened and the selected file is brought to the front.
Premiere Pro lets you change the start time of sequences from 00:00:00:00 to a start time of your choice. You can set the specified start time as the default start time.
In the Timeline panel menu, select Start Time. In the Start Time dialog, enter the start time, and select Set As Default For Future Sequences. The start time that you enter will be the default start time for all new sequences.
You can now preview files more easily by just dragging the files from a Finder (Mac OS) or Explorer (Win) window directly into the Source monitor. The preview is similar to previewing clips from the Media Browser before importing them into the project.
A new project is created for the clips that you drag into the Source monitor; the clips are not automatically imported into the current open project.
The Match Frame feature now lets you match frames from the Source monitor to the source files of a sequence. With this enhancement, you don't have to first open the sequence in the Timeline and match frames from there.
For a Multicamera sequence, Match Frame first opens the selected camera source clip in the Source monitor. If either regular sequences or multicamera sequences are nested, additional Match Source Frame commands open all source sequences until the correct source file is opened.
For example, the Match Frame command first opens the multicamera source sequence in the Source monitor. The next use of the Match Frame command opens the original source camera clip for the selected angle in the Source monitor.
When the Program monitor is in Multicamera mode, the lowest targeted track is displayed in the monitor. In this mode, the rule to "Match Frame From" is reversed, and the lowest track is used. To override this behavior, select a clip on the desired track to match frame from.
In previous versions of Premiere Pro, an offline clip appeared in red in the Timeline only on expanding the track. Now, all offline clips appear in red, even without expanding the track. This enhancement lets you easily locate offline clips from the Timeline.
Premiere Pro provides a new Tone Settings dialog that lets you create Bars and Tones clips at -20dB amplitude.
Using the Tone Settings dialog
- Double-click a Bars and Tones clip to open the Tone Settings dialog.
- In the Tone Settings dialog, specify the audio settings.
- Select Steady Tones to create a Bars and Tones clip at any desired frequency.
- Select Identify Channels to create a Bars and Tones clip that adheres to EBU audio standards.
You can now double-click a captions clip in the Captions panel, and view the contents of the clip. If the Captions panel is already open, Premiere Pro brings the Captions panel into focus.
For clips that offer source settings, such as RED and Arri Raw, you can access the Source Settings dialog directly from the Timeline.
In the Timeline, right-click (Win) or Ctrl-click (Mac) a clip in the sequence, and select Source Settings from the context menu.
Source Settings adjustments are applied to master clips. When you adjust the source settings of a clip in a sequence, the settings are applied to its master clip and any other instances used in that sequence.
In previous versions of Premiere Pro, even if you specified Auto-Save to execute at regular intervals, if an activity occurred at the specified interval, Auto-Save was blocked. Now, if Auto-Save is blocked by activity, it is put on hold, and retriggered during the next period of inactivity.
In earlier versions, Premiere Pro executed an auto-save when there were unsaved changes in the currently opened project. The potential consequence of that was leaving a project open with unsaved changes for a long enough period led to all the auto-save versions becoming identical, wiping out potentially useful versions to roll back to.
Now, if the system goes idle for a period beyond the interval setting, no further Auto Save files are generated until Premiere Pro detects changes to the project file. This change conserves the maximum number of auto-saves per project, and saves only the useful archived versions.
When you add clips created from still images to a sequence, you can specify the duration of clips (in frames).
To do so, in the Automate To Sequence dialog, under Still Clip Duration, select Frames Per Still and enter the number of frames.
By default, Premiere Pro plays a clip or sequence until the end and stops on the last frame. When you press the spacebar (initiating Play again), the playhead automatically jumps to the beginning and restarts playback from there.
You now have a preference that lets you turn off the feature of automatically restarting playback from the beginning. To do so, go to the Preferences dial box, under the General category, deselect At Playback End, Return To Begin When Restarting Playback.
This preference applies to both clip and sequence playback. The preference controls playback in all the panels where playback can be initiated, like Timeline, Source and Program monitors, Audio Track Mixer, and Effect Controls.
Premiere Pro provides a preference to control focus on the Timeline after performing Insert/Overwrite edits. Selecting this preference automatically sets focus to the Timeline after each edit. You can quickly preview your edits without manually setting focus to the Timeline.
The Set Focus To Timeline After Performing Insert/Overwrite Edits preference is available under the General category in the Preferences dialog box. The preference is deselected by default.
You can use Up and Down arrow keys to navigate to Begin/End and In/Out points in clips loaded into the Source monitor.
This navigation feature works on both individual clips or sequences loaded in the Source monitor.
For clips, the navigation steps through Clip Start, In point, Out point, and Clip End. For sequences, the navigation steps through Sequence Start, all individual edit points within the sequence (on all tracks), and Sequence End. The In/Out points for sequences are ignored.
Some important points:
- You can continue to use the Up and Down arrow keys to select the next and previous clips in the Timeline.
- In previous versions of Premiere Pro, the Up and Down arrow keys navigated to next/previous clip markers in the Source monitor. With this update, to navigate to the next clip marker, use Shift+M. To navigate to the previous marker, use Ctrl+M (Win) or Shift+Cmd (Mac).
You can now use keyboard shortcuts to clear the In, Out, or In and Out markers from multiple selected clips in the project, instead of doing it one clip at a time.
You use the same Marker menu keyboard shortcuts that you use in the Timeline, Monitor, and other panels.

Hi Bryan.
Reading your overview of the year made me think about a lot of things. Mostly my comic.. But also yours.
SoC is no longer that confusing anymore, and I am truly enjoying the 3rd chapter. It seems very real, and it interests me. Especially the fact that En'Chin and Keriel are... <i>EGG-WORSHIPERS!!?</i> Heh. I find that very amusing. But now it justifies why she couldn't eat the cake before.
Also.. "Mars Ain't the kind of Place to Raise Your Kids" was pretty good too.. And I got at least 80% of that.. unlike your first chapter. So, I'd like to say that you have improved in making your comic easier to understand.. Even the layouts have improved.
But there have still been a few layouts that were hard to follow. .... WEIRD WEIRD LAYOUTS. But those odd layouts that confuse me are now few and far between.. and I guess that is a good thing.
I also noticed that you mentioned me, and what I said about The Matrix. For some reason.. I don't believe that that is what I actually said.. like you paraphrased me or something.. But you didn't.. I said that.
It is very strange to me how I wrote that sentance..
Anyways.. that was why I had to tell you that your comic no longer has me confused beyond belief.. And now.. I have even been able to "predict" what comes next, like I manage to do with all movies and television shows. I thought that that would be En'Chin's office that Osi (er.. Seji!? Shoot.. I had them straight in my head.. but suddenly they're mixed up again!) would be walking in there.
What I didn't realise until the next strip though.. was that she was doing it knowingly, on purpose. I thought she was going in there for some kind of job interview or meeting.. and he would just happen to be there... I didn't know that she was already going to drop off the juice! So I found that pretty interesting.. and actually a little funny.
And I bet you're falling off your chair with laughter reading this too.. And that's fine.
You are a great inspriration to me Bryan, and you always will be. First with Pelolos.. and now with SoC.. And all the rants that come along with it!
In fact.. I have even quoted you in my own rant.. right on my Thermalyte page, just a few moments ago. You can go see if you like.
And I totally agree with you on the feedback thing. I thought I was doing Thermalyte for me- well I am- but I need feedback too. And the lack of feedback (not MEANING to put the blame on anyone.. it really and truly is my fault for this..) is, I think, partially the cause for Thermalyte's rather lengthy hiatuses. Especially this latter one.
I hope I can get myself and my life in order, so that I can continue Thermalyte, and still have a bunch of fun with Yankuckcanee.. not letting anyone down. All in preparation for my big mission... J-Force.
I hope I do do J-Force.. and not just drop it like a rock.
Well anyways.. I'm still loving your comics.
Keep up the tremendous work and effort. Whatever you do.. don't turn into me.

And yes.. even after reading your restrospective I was motivated..
I went and drew another page of Thermalyte!
So.. Go BRYAN for motivating my lazy ass!!!!
I hope you said something in my forum..
Well.. I guess I'll go check that now..

LOL hey, I'm trying to get things back together since everyone seems to have something of a schedual again, you still in? I think I might start things from the begining, especially since we've had a couple charactor changes. Maybe keep a couple of the better scripts, but I feel Lacy got kinda short changed, as did Zaak and your charactors. So revamping stuff.

Cleveland Indians' pitcher Ryan Merritt has a lot to celebrate. In addition to a surprisingly solid pitching performance in game five of the ALCS, he is getting married and his wedding registry is almost entirely purchased.
Mainly, by Indians fans.
The rookie left-hander pitched the first 4 and 1/3 innings of the game and only surrendered two hits in game five. This was the 24-year-old's second-ever start in the MLB and expectations were low.
Indians fans, grateful for Merritt's start that led the team toward the World Series, caught wind that the pitcher was engaged to Sarah Brushaber and took it upon themselves to purchase nearly everything on his wedding registry. As of Friday morning, the only item that remained to be purchased was bedding.
The Cleveland Indians have not celebrated a trip to the World Series since 1997. They haven't won the title since 1948.

Recently we've been discussing the best things about summer, like Slip N' Slides and lemonade. OH yes. But with the good obviously comes the bad, and in this case, the really bad. Brace yourself folks, because we've scoped out some pretty awful sunburn fails we never want to experience. Oof.
Few things are worse than forgetting to put on the ol' sunscreen and turning into a well-done lobster after a few hours in the sun. It's painful and uncomfortable, and we'd just like to avoid these sorts of sunburns at all costs.
