Figurative Bronze Sculpture
Her first fine art series were extravagant clay and mixed media vessels aptly named Dream Boxes for their functional impracticality yet ideal physical representation of containers in which to wrap and preserve dreams.
In recent years, Angel-Wing has focused on smoothly textured, figurative pieces. These partially-formed female forms are juxtaposed against geometric metal environments. The resulting sculptures are mysterious montages incorporating figures suspended against abstract minimalist compositions.
Dina Angel-Wing received a B.A. in Art History from Haifa University, studied sculpture at Jerusalem's Betzael School of Art, and upon emigrating from her native Israel, studied ceramics with Wayne Horuchi at Stanford University and raku with Andree Thompson at UC Berkeley. She has exhibited at the Los Angeles County Museum, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Los Angeles County Airport Gallery, Museum of Texas Tech University, Triton Museum, Richmond Art Center, and the Copia Museum of Wine, Food, & Art in Napa, CA. In addition, her work has been featured in such publications as House Beautiful, Home Magazine, International Entertaining Magazine, Home and Garden, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, Oakland Tribune, San Francisco Chronicle, and San Francisco Examiner Image Magazine.

"Access to excess" has been Jonak's maxim for 40 years. The brand is underpinned by the philosophy that all women should have access to high quality, contemporary products at supremely affordable prices. Created by Joseph Nakam in 1964 in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the creative heart of Paris inspired by the "Nouvelle Vague", Jonak gradually evolved from being a multi-brand shoe distributor to becoming a fully-fledged design label in its own right. Jonak now offers urban styles for dynamic women in major international cities. Exclusive styling and quality European manufacturing form the backbone of this Parisian design house that launches no less than 400 models per season. Jonak is above all a family concern that "listens to the street, its movements, its demands, its contradictions and its aspirations". Jonak's designers are all about "learning to understand the moods and expectations of Parisians". In other words, they know better than anyone how to please fashion's elite in all corners of the globe.

SANDY, Utah – After a few weeks of hectic travel and a packed schedule, Real Salt Lake enjoyed a "normal" week last week, with just the one game. They were able to convert that into a home 1-0 victory against a new-look New York Red Bulls. Now they'll look ahead to a midweek encounter against Seattle.
Supporters' Shield within sight
Real Salt Lake set their sights on the Supporters' Shield before the season started, but after LA's blistering start saw them take a huge lead in the standings, that feat seemed unachievable. However, they've since made up ground on their West rivals and could actually overtake them with a win in Seattle on Thursday.
Montezuma's revenge
Robbie Findley, along with a few teammates, apparently picked up a bug while in Mexico for the Champions League match against Cruz Azul, which explains Findley being subbed out shortly after the half against New York.
"Robbie Findley at halftime told us he was feeling very ill," RSL coach Jason Kreis said. "He has been feeling ill since we left Mexico, actually. A few of our guys have had stomach ailments for now the past week."
Postgame leftovers
Against New York, Real Salt Lake made not one, but two goal-line clearances as players chipped in to help Nick Rimando maintain the clean sheet. Andy Williams and Kyle Beckerman supplied the cool defending for the two plays.
"Andy can't jump, so he has to be on the post," Rimando said. "The low balls he can get to, so I expected him to get to that."
Kreis was more than satisfied to see those types of game-changing plays executed on match day.
"We've hammered away at that since the beginning of preseason, and we pay a lot of attention to that," Kreis said. "We watch a lot of video. Credit to the guys that were alert to make plays on the goal line."
Nat Borchers revealed the approach that the team had defensively coming into the match.
"We just wanted to deny [Juan Pablo] Ángel and [Thierry] Henry the ball as much as we could," he said. "We had Kyle in there making sure it was difficult for them to penetrate us, and I think we did a good job."
Borchers also weighed in on why the team has proven to be so successful at home.
"It's a number of things – I always think that when we are at home, we have a special mentality," he said. "We come out very aggressively and we really take pride in defending and possessing the ball."

How do you fix a broken garage door?
Garage door problems don't have to mean the end of the world. Garage door repair is typically a one-day process and can be done for only a few hundred dollars. Common garage door repair requests include fixing slow or erratic garage doors, addressing strange sounds coming from the garage door or motor, fixing cosmetic damage such as dents or scrapes, repairing broken doors that are stuck open or closed, and troubleshooting inoperable doors.
The two main garage door operating mechanisms are sectional roll-ups or tilt-ups. Garage door repair services can fix single-car, double-car or RV-height doors. Your garage door may be made of wood, steel, aluminum, masonite, vinyl, fiberglass or another material. The type of garage door repair you need really depends on the type of garage door you have and the issue at hand. Garage door repair pros often charge a flat service call fee to diagnose the problem and provide an estimate. For customers who choose to have the repair done, the service call fee may be applied to the first hour of labor (including time to make the diagnosis). If your garage door is under warranty, the repair may be free of charge.
How much does it cost to get a new garage door?
A new garage door can add serious curb appeal, not to mention myriad home safety benefits. The cost of a new garage door will vary based on the type of garage door you want and the materials it will be made of. You can purchase a new garage door and have the pros install it for you, but proceed with caution as many installers won't guarantee their labor if you didn't purchase the garage door through their company. A new door (without installation) may cost anywhere from $200 to $4,000 or more, depending on size, brand and materials. Here are some examples of average new garage door costs, including installation:
- Raised-panel, insulated,16x7 garage door: $1,100
- Without insulation: about $900
- Raised-panel, insulated, 8x7: $700
- Without insulation: $550
- Carriage-house 16x7 garage door with stamped-steel design: $1,500
- Carriage-house 8x7 garage door with stamped-steel design: $1,000
- A carriage-house garage door is a barn-style door with handles and hinges; it looks like it pulls out in the style of a barn door but is actually a roll-up.
- Carriage-house 16x7 garage door with steel and faux-wood overlay: $3,500
- Carriage-house 8x7 garage door with steel and faux-wood overlay: $2,000–$2,200
- Solid-wood cedar or mahogany 16x7 garage door with window in top panels: $5,000
- Solid-wood cedar or mahogany 8x7 garage door with window in top panels: $3,500
How much does it cost to install a new garage door opener?
Your new garage door opener cost will vary based on the model you purchase and how long installation takes. Typically, installation pros charge by the hour, although if the pro is also selling the garage door opener they may have a flat fee for the product with installation. The national average for new garage door opener costs (with installation) is between $390 and $650, although the national average cost for the opener purchased alone may be in the $150-$300 range. The three most common types of openers are chain-drive, screw-drive and belt-drive. The chain-drive costs the least but makes the most noise. The belt-drive is typically the quietest and the most expensive. You can expect to pay about the same amount for installation for any of the three styles. The lifespan of a garage door opener is approximately 10 years, depending on quality. A pro may provide opener repairs for the cost of their service call fee or they may charge a flat fee, such as $100 for opener repair. Here are some examples of new garage door opener average costs, including installation:
- Contractor-grade garage door opener with installation: $300.
- Chain-drive opener with installation and one remote: $350.
- Belt-drive opener with installation and two remotes: $400
- Top-of-the-line opener with ¾-horsepower battery backup, belt drive and nearly soundless operation: $475
- The majority of higher-end garage door openers are "smart" products and will connect via app to your smartphone for remote access.
How much does it cost to get a garage door fixed?
The national average for garage door repair cost is between $80 and $110. Some of the factors that affect your garage door repair cost are the type of springs (most often torsion or extension), the size and weight of the door, and the door material. Many garage door pros will charge a service fee to visit your house and determine the problem. Often, the service fee includes a set amount of labor. One example of this is an $80 service fee that includes the first hour of work plus testing and inspecting your garage door and garage door opener, while another pro may charge $150 for the same standard service call.
Broken or jammed springs are a common problem. In one example, the starting price for spring repair was $99, while another pro's cost started at $185. The $185 starting price included $40 for transportation costs, $60 for parts, and $85 per hour of labor. Professionals may charge extra for late-night garage door repair emergencies.
How much is it to replace a garage door panel?
Replacing a garage door panel can add significantly to the cost of a garage door repair. Panels run horizontally on sectional roll-up garage doors. They may be made of wood, vinyl, aluminum, fiberglass or steel. Garage door panels can become damaged from hail and other extreme weather, dents and dings, car accidents, and age. When deciding if you want to replace a garage door panel, it's helpful to compare the potential repair cost to the cost of a new garage door. Panel replacement requires a pro with the proper tools as well as the new parts. With parts and labor you could be paying more than $500 for one new panel. In comparison, a new garage door may cost $800-$1,200 (on average) with installation. If there is a possibility your garage door was structurally compromised when the panel was damaged, have the pro assess whether it's better to completely remove and replace the door, rails and framework to ensure your home's safety. It may also be better to completely replace your door if it is severely rusted or dented; if the paint is peeling and fading; if the door model is outdated or you can't find replacement panels; or if the panels or rails are structurally compromised.

CONCORD, N.H. — New Hampshire Gov. Maggie Hassan has asked U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry for a thorough environmental and permitting process before allowing any existing pipelines in the state to transport tar sands oil.
Two conventional crude oil pipelines owned by the Portland Pipe Line Corp. go through five New Hampshire towns and end in Montreal. Portland Pipeline has considered changing the contents of those pipelines to tar sands oil.
Critics say tar sands oil poses greater environmental and safety risks than conventional crude, but oil industry representatives disagree.
Under federal law, the secretary of state has the authority to issue permits for the construction, connection, operation or maintenance of pipelines at the borders of the United States with Canada.
"I am writing to ask you to act to protect New Hampshire's economy and environment," Hassan wrote to Kerry on Monday.
"The state of New Hampshire has limited authority over pipelines that cross state borders and therefore relies heavily on federal review and regulation. It also receives little or no benefit from their presence in the state. However, should anything go wrong with such a pipeline — a leak or worse — New Hampshire's taxpayers bear the responsibility and cost of cleanup."
The New Hampshire towns through which the pipeline runs are Lancaster, Jefferson, Randolph, Gorham and Shelburne.
Environmentalists have expressed concern that the pipeline that now carries oil from South Portland to Montreal could have its flow reversed and carry Canadian tar sands oil through Vermont, New Hampshire and western Maine.
Last week, environmental regulators in Vermont ruled that the state's Act 250 land use law would apply to any proposal to reverse the flow in an oil pipeline system that crosses northern Vermont.

Unfortunately, whether single, part of a couple, or head of a family, women are often left with the lion's share of the work when it comes to finding a home. It is because women see a potential residence as a home and not just a place to sleep that makes the process even more difficult.
Over the last decade the internet has dramatically changed the way that people search for and choose a place to live. Daniel Drimmer has been a ground-breaking part of the evolution of residential real estate in Canada. Beginning … Read the rest

What is a general contractor?
When starting a home remodel or new construction project, you will probably hire a general contractor. A general contractor is a professional who is qualified to take a set of building plans and construct them as outlined. The general contractor may help perform the day-to-day building, or they may just hire workers and oversee all the work activities. In either case, the job of the general contractor is to see that your project gets built.
When you have a building project, ask for bids from various contractors. The bids tell you how much each will charge and what their scope of work will be. Once you have selected a bid, you sign a contract with that general contractor outlining the specifics of the project and the milestones during the project when they will receive payment installments. Once the contract is official, the general contractor will bring in their crew to begin construction. The contractor will manage the workers and subcontractors (anyone who doesn't work directly for their company but that they need to outsource, like a marble installation pro), order all the materials, obtain work permits, and confirm that all the workers and subcontractors are completing their projects as planned. They typically handle all the payments to the workers and subcontractors, and send you invoice. For all these reasons, it's also especially important to follow a few smart hiring practices when it comes to finding a general contractor. If you are organized and competent to oversee construction projects, and are able to make sure everything is being built properly and meeting code, it's possible you can be your own general contractor.
Why should you hire a contractor?
Hiring a general contractor is a good idea for many remodeling projects. Home renovation contractors have a broad range of skills to manage, coordinate and complete a project. They should help make sure your project comes in on time and within your budget as they hire and supervise all the necessary subcontractors, including electricians and plumbers. They also handle procuring all the materials required for your job. Some homeowners look to save money by acting as their own contractor, but an experienced home renovation contractor is worth the cost. They should know local building codes, be able to pull all necessary permits, and work with inspectors to make sure the construction meets local codes. Also, because they get professional discounts, they can typically buy materials at a better price than you can; better prices on materials and labor save you money, and make up for at least a percentage of the cost of the contractor.
How long should a bathroom remodel take?
With proper planning and a good general contractor, your bathroom remodeling project doesn't have to take forever. The construction phase of the project will always vary based on your scope of work, the square footage and the condition of your bathroom under the surface layer. Inevitably an 80-square-foot master bathroom with major changes will take longer than a 25-square-foot guest bath undergoing a minor renovation. For a smaller bathroom, a facelift — the industry term for sprucing up the surface layer (such as paint, vanity, tiles or light fixtures) but keeping the existing footprint of the space — may take five to eight working days, as long as there are no surprises like mold waiting when the old vanity comes out. A more complex bathroom remodel that revamps the shower area (customizing the plumbing, installing tile and changing the shower door), updates the flooring and cabinetry, and adds new paint and new lighting could take anywhere from one week to three weeks. A full bathroom remodel that guts the room, changing the footprint and moving the electrical wiring and plumbing lines, could take four to eight weeks or more. To keep your bathroom remodel on schedule, have your materials ordered and waiting, and don't make any change orders once construction begins. Planning is key to keeping a bathroom remodel on schedule.
For more on how long a bathroom remodel should take check out The Complete Thumbtack Bathroom Remodel Guide.
Where should I start when remodeling a bathroom?
Bathroom remodeling doesn't have to be overwhelming. Before starting a bathroom remodel it's crucial to know what you want and have a clear understanding of your maximum budget. If you'd love all marble fixtures but have $3,000 total, you will have to compromise. Being realistic about materials and money before you even contact a contractor will have you on the road to success. Here are some simple steps to follow in the planning stages of bathroom remodeling:
- List your remodeling priorities in order of importance (e.g., 1. New shower head, 2. Replace flooring, 3. Install recessed lighting, etc.).
- Calculate what you can realistically afford to spend on your bathroom remodel. Identify an "all in" price — meaning the absolute maximum you're willing to pay, as well as what you'd prefer to spend.
- Gather ideas from Pinterest about colors and finishes.
- Research the costs of the materials and finishes you want and begin making choices about what is and isn't possible to fit into your budget (once labor is included). If you'd like to stay under $10,000 total, but really love a $2,000 tub, plan to downgrade in other areas.
- Request quotes from at least three reputable general contractors, share your vision and ideal materials, and work together from there.
How do I plan a bathroom remodeling project?
If you're stumped on how to plan a bathroom remodeling project, it pays to hire a designer. This is especially important if you're changing your bathroom layout in any way. Designers create contractor-friendly drawings indicating exactly where each tile and fixture will be installed, down to the light switches. This investment might cost you $300-$500 but save you significant frustration and miscommunication, while ensuring you get precisely what you want.
If you're going to do your own design, planning a bathroom remodeling project means being organized and planning ahead. Create a general outline of what you want and the budget you have. Identify the specific fixtures, tiles, paint and vanity you prefer. Get all this organized before requesting quotes from two to three reputable general contractors. Once you find the right pro, get a written contract outlining scope of work, materials that will be used, timeframe and payment schedule. Communicate clearly about when to order your materials so they are ready and waiting by the time the contractor gets the permits. Your job from here is to communicate clearly, pay the contractor as the work progresses, and enjoy your remodel when it's done.

CPJ and other Burma watchers are monitoring the announcements of the unfolding prisoner release closely. As a press freedom organization, we've focused most closely on the fate of the 14 journalists we counted in jail in Shawn Crispin's report, "In Burma, transition neglects press freedom" that we posted on September 20. In our alert today we welcomed the release of Burmese blogger and comedian Maung Thura, bringing that number down to 13, and there's a chance the number might even be lower.
The Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (Burma) released a list of 206 prisoners who were given their freedom Wednesday. We're pleased to see that among those on AAPPB's list were Myint Naing, an assistant to Hla Hla Win of the Democratic Voice of Burma, and Sein Win Maung, the office manager of Myanmar Nation weekly news journal. It's important to note that Hla Hla Win, who was given a 20-year sentence, is still in jail, while Thet Zin, Myanmar Nation's editor, was freed in a 2009 amnesty but that Myanmar Nation never reappeared in print, effectively silenced by the government's harsh anti-media policies.
Crispin sounded a wary note in his report and, despite the enthusiasm generated by the first round of releases on Wednesday, we're waiting to see what will come in the next few days.
CPJ has been confronting Burma's rulers over restrictions on journalists' freedom since we were founded in 1981. And while we're happy for the families who are able to greet any prisoners that are allowed to walk out of the front gates of Burma's many prisons, we note that there are still restrictive rules on Internet access and no new laws to expand media freedom have been put forward. It's just too soon to declare success of any great dimension.
Between Crispin in Bangkok and CPJ's staff in New York, we're staying in touch with Burmese exile groups and sources inside the country, comparing release lists and rumors. Despite an urge to be first, we'll proceed carefully.

With cold weather now here, and a cold Saturday in store, there are some important things you can do to keep safe and warm.
We know it's been quite some time since we've seen cold conditions like this, so we want to offer some tips on how to keep you and your family safe.
Experts say as cold weather comes, don't forget the 5 Ps of cold weather preparedness:
-Protect People
-Protect Pets
-Protect Plants
-Protect Exposed Pipes
-Practice Fire Safety
Here's some ways you can do just that:
-Make sure to dress warm; wear layers and keep your head covered. Remember that wind makes it feel even colder outside.
-With a freezing warning in effect tonight, it's time to keep your pets inside and bring in any plants you don't want to lose.
-If you haven't already, make sure you drain your sprinkler manifolds so they don't freeze.
-If you use space heaters, make sure it's three feet away from anything flammable; and don't leave fire places unattended.
If you plan on hitting the road for the three-day weekend, and are on the roads tonight through Saturday night, remember to drive slow and pay attention.
Especially as the freezing temperatures set in, the wet roads we are seeing from the drizzle could easily turn icy. Stay alert especially on bridges and overpasses.
Tips for staying warm:
-Wear a hat, hood, or scarf, as most heat is lost through the head.
-Wear layers, as they provide better insulation and warmth.
-Keep fingertips, earlobes, and noses covered if you go outside.
-Keep clothing dry; if a layer becomes wet, remove it.
Tips for Extreme Cold Prevention from the CDC:
The Five P's of Cold Weather Preparedness:
Tips to protect your pets in cold weather:
Tips to Prepare your vehicle for cold weather: (From Allstate Insurance Co.)
-Be sure to get your engine checked out if you are experiencing hard starts, stalls or other problems.
-Windshield wiper blades that are not making full contact with the window, or that are cracked and dried out, should be replaced. Also, be sure to keep extra windshield washer fluid and an ice scraper in your car.
-Keep a cold weather safety kit in your car that includes gloves, boots, blankets, flares, water and a flashlight.
-Examine your tires for tread life and uneven wearing. Also, be sure tires are properly inflated. Tires lose a pound of pressure for every 10 degrees the temperature drops.
-Be sure the heater and defroster in your car are working properly to ensure passenger comfort and driver visibility.
-The cooling system should be flushed every two years with a 50-50 mixture of antifreeze and water. Have the level, condition and concentration of the antifreeze mixture checked periodically.
-Have your mechanic check your battery fluid levels, battery posts and cable connectors. Bad connections can keep your car from starting.
-Brakes should be checked as recommended, but if you are noticing pulsations, noises or longer stopping distances, get a mechanic to look at them right away.
-Make sure all lights and bulbs are in proper working order and replace any burned-out bulbs.

So the RAID in my laptop crashed…
by armageddon on Feb.01, 2011, under Projects, quickhack
I told you about the brand new RAID in my laptop. Well… Yesterday it didn't boot anymore. After some time of trial and error I figured out that the ext4 filesystem was broken. Trying to fix it with fsck.ext4 resulted in… Kernel Panic! So I tried dd'ing it to my server so I could work on the copies. After about 250GB… Kernel Panic! Then I tried mounting the filesystem Read-Only and pulling out my files. It worked! But after about 200MB… Kernel Panic! So I had no Idea what to do now. How can dd lead to a Kernel Panic? Something must be wrong with my laptop hardware.
To fix this, I decided to attach the drives directly to my server. One of them is now mounted in an external case, just without the case. The other one is directly attached to one of the controllers in my server machine. There was no spare power plug, so I just took one from my gaming PC. How does this look? Kind of odd. See for yourself:
I am using ddrescue to pull of images from the disks. The speed is kind of slow but that is better then losing my data.
I'll now try to assemble and mount the RAID read-only while it is copying… Wish me luck!
I could actually assemble the raid and mount the ext4 partition on it. I am now copying my important files. I hope it runs through!
It worked! I got my files.
OH and I forgot to show you that:
One thing I learned from this is: No raid and no fucking ext4 in a laptop!

SPARTA, Ky. - Brad Keselowski took his final lead on the 156th lap and went on to a rain-shortened victory Friday night in the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Kentucky Speedway.
Showers halted the race at lap 170 in the scheduled 200-lap event, but drivers were expecting it to resume before another pocket of rain forced officials to call it off. Keselowski settled for doing victory spinouts, being careful to avoid sliding into the wall on a night mostly spent on firm footing.
After Keselowski finished second Thursday night in the Truck Series race, the Sprint Cup champion led four times for 59 laps en route to his second victory of the year and second at the track in three years. Elliott Sadler was second, followed by Truck Series points leader Matt Crafton, Brian Vickers and Kyle Busch.
Series points leader Regan Smith saw his 28-point advantage over Justin Allgaier coming in whacked to an eight-point edge over Sam Hornish Jr. after an engine problem that forced him behind the wall and left him 30th, 17 laps down.
The night mostly belonged to Busch and eventually Keselowski, who has a chance to add another trophy if he can win Saturday night's 400-lap Cup race. If his first two races and Friday night in particular are any indication, he's certainly the driver to beat.
Starting 19th, Keselowski quickly moved the No. 22 Ford into contention to make it a battle between him and Busch on a tripleheader weekend for both. Running in the top five on lap 150, Keselowski eventually got by Sadler for the lead before the sky opened up.
"You know, I didn't want it to end this way but we had a great car and we were able to drive to the front," Keselowski said. "We didn't qualify like we wanted to but Jeremy Bullins and this team did a great job.
"It was just a great car tonight. This is the type of car you get once a year if you are lucky. Driving this car I feel like Jimmie Johnson, this is a rocket."
Busch led three times for a race-high 74 laps, mostly before the halfway point. The race featured 12 lead changes among seven drivers.
One of the team was defending race winner Austin Dillon, whose quest was keeping the family name in victory lane for the third straight time at Kentucky. The grandson of NASCAR team owner Richard Childress dominated here a year ago, leading 192 laps while averaging a race-record 151.643 in a Chevy sporting RCR's iconic No. 3 made famous by seven-time Cup champion Dale Earnhardt.
Dillon led 65 last September to complete a season sweep here. If that wasn't enough motivation for him to stay hot -- not to mention, cutting into his 45-point deficit to first-place Regan Smith - there was the opportunity to one-up his brother, Ty, who won Thursday night's Truck race.
Dillon's bid started well as he won the pole with a speed of 175.758 mph and he led the first 18 laps before yielding to Busch and eventually finishing sixth. As for the two Cup heavyweights, they seemed intent on a strong follow-up to their 2-3 finish in the Truck race.
Sadler and Crafton had their turns up front as well, but Keselowski carefully threaded his way back into the lead just before showers arrived, turning into a downpour soon after the race was called.

I don't often blog about political issues, but the proposed Keystone XL tar sands pipeline is just too despicable and infuriating for me to stay silent.
The Keystone XL pipeline is a proposed 1700-mile long pipeline that would carry diluted tar sands from Alberta, Canada to Texas. Tar sands (also called oil sands) are a mixture of sand and bitumen, a type of gooey petroleum that resembles tar. Tar sands can be processed into crude oil, and then refined into petroleum products like gasoline (aka. petrol), propane, and motor oil. TransCanada, the oil company who wants to build the pipeline, plans to process the tar sand in Houson, Texas, and from there will likely ship the product overseas. This plan would be extremely lucrative for TransCanada, but devastating to the US and global environments.

Whatever your high-performance rearend needs, we're pretty fortunate today to have such a wide selection. And while there are plenty of stout 10- and 12-bolt setups getting quick cars down the quarter-mile, there may come a time when you'll need to step up to a 9-inch assembly. That time has come for our True 10.5 Camaro; it's a perfect candidate for this type of upgrade.
You can forget about all the Blue Oval connotations from the Bow Tie purists, because these days, the famed 9-inch setups are manufactured with all-new components and are far superior over the factory castings. We're talking first-rate materials with a custom-built FAB9 housing from Chris Alston's Chassisworks. And to complement the fabricated housing, we're planning to add robust internals with a full-floater assembly, gun-drilled 40-spline axles, centersection, and brakes from Strange Engineering.
The one thing you need to understand when ordering up a FAB9 housing is that precise measurements are your number-one priority. You're going to see us reiterate that a lot, but even so, we can't say it enough. Fortunately for us, our chassis guru Bill Hickok of Hickok Race Cars is well versed with Chassisworks' detail-oriented worksheet. His experience allowed us to take all the correct measurements and fill out the worksheet rather quickly. It's worth mentioning that once you've entered your dimensions, you do have to sign for it, acknowledging that you're taking full responsibility for the information supplied. That's right, once they build it to your specs, you're completely responsible for it.
But what happens after you fax in your paperwork? Let's just say quite a bit of machining, welding, and even more measuring. Don't take our word for it; follow along as we show you the incredible amount of work that goes into building a FAB9 rearend-it's sure to open your eyes and give you a whole new level of appreciation, especially for something we can simply order over the phone for our dragstrip terrors.
Quick Notes
What Is It
The toughest 9-inch rearend we've ever seen
The Final Word
Measurements are vital, so check twice and get it right
Price (Approx)
Avenger 4-Link FAB9 start at $1,789; other FAB9s as low as $459

Anyone who hasn't heard of increasingly popular painted rock trend must have been living under a, well, need we say more?
Stoned love became stronger still during recent summer holidays with kids across the country turning time back by, wait for it, playing out!
TVs and tablets are increasingly being turned off, games consoles and fidget spinners snubbed, in favour of great family fun in the great outdoors.
Old school as that may sound, pebble painting or "rocking" is successfully taking today's children back to nature in their own back yards.
Fresh air, open fields and street corners are being revisited, as in bygone days, with youngsters aplenty aspiring to be illustrated rock stars ... with not an Ozzy Osbourne tattoo in sight.
The widespread craze sweeping our nation has gone global, so much so supporters are - with apologies to Quo - rocking all over the world.
Social media groups glory in such titles as "Who Gives A Rock" and, amassing amazing 65,000 members, "Love on the Rocks".
Together they share decorative design ideas and images of finished articles in this thriving new twist on traditional hide and seek.
"Hem Rocks!" is one such community hub on a roll as young and old alike colour, photograph, find and hide stencilled stones far and wide.
Lucas Carter, aged eight, is among growing band of followers, mum Angela confirming "he was so excited to hear about this".
She explained: "We go out on daily walks in search of a rock find. It's brilliant how it's got children, young people and adults outdoors and chatting about it.
"It's a great idea that's a free activity, done at a time convenient to you. Perfect for the summer holidays.
"It's grown as families create their own rock masterpieces to hide and to be found, some choosing themes that making learning fun. Thanks for bringing Hem Rocks to Hemingbrough!"
Mum of two Laura Trembath agrees. "It's a great way of getting kids involved in village life, bringing everyone together for one big game over the summer".
Added Lauren Kirk: "My little boy is too young to really get involved with this at the moment but I've really enjoyed spotting the rocks on our dog walks, and noticing when they've moved on the next day.
"Particular favourites have been (Magic Roundabout) Dougal and the Full English. It's a great idea to get people of all ages out and about in our beautiful village. You all rock!"
And, although receiving stony response from some killjoy councils on health and safety grounds, this mania shows no sign of gathering moss.
As with many fashionable fads, we have transatlantic trend to thank for birth of art rocks' role in Cape Cod heart shape of Kindness Rocks Project.
Collecting colourfully decorated stones, covered with cartoons to cryptic messages, soon spread from coastal resorts with abundance of raw material.
Rising fives to aspiring artists have got in on the act, transforming humble rubble into works of art, waiting to be found, concealed and discovered again.
One enthusiast advises newcomers: "Decorate pebbles using acrylic paint or permanent pens, then seal it against the weather, using clear nail polish or varnish.
"Write the name of a dedicated Facebook group on the back, hide it in a safe place, wait for someone to find it, post on your group, then watch its journey."
Yorkshire's Wendy Keniwell commented: "We love finding rocks out and about on our travels. We found one on the East Coast the other week.
"A quick FB search for the Channel Rocks group showed it's a group in Kent. Cool how they all travel, reminding me we need to re-hide it somewhere new".
Some rocks cross continents, one such rolling stone - presumably within baggage allowance - winging its way from public places in London to Morocco.
And they have spread moving messages as with Manchester Arena attack tributes that bore city's emblematic worker bee symbol and #lovemcr hashtag.
Loraine Laybourn said of her addicted granddaughter Lily Caisley: "She loves painting rocks and hiding them. Lily's nine and only just got into this craze.
"We found a stone in the Lake District and brought it back to Yorkshire to hide somewhere. Since then she's designed a few more, always signed with her initials.
"We love searching them out and looking on the back to see where they have come from. It's a brilliant idea because kids love colouring the stones in.
"It's a bit like waiting for your pen pal letters when I was a kid", added Loraine, for whom Pebbleart Ingleton has become a family affair.
Secret of its success? Psychologists suggest our 21st century need to still connect as communities.
Rookie rock hunter Ella Trembath, aged three, simply says "I just love finding bright stones".

All has been solved so I'll say they are quite an honourable company to buy from. The only thing that they should change is the fact that the reuturn cost of a damaged item comes from the customer.
So I made an order the end of last week for this cherry scented lip gloss/balm fro beautyeshop.co.uk for £8.49.
Generally I have no issues with them, they are fast with shipping and what not but when this lip balm arrived it had leaked all over. Inside the case, in the base. The thing I noticed is that the balm is quite liquid and it could just not be suitable for this kind of packaging.
So they said they would send me a new one if I forwarded a tracking number. I did and the next day a new one arrived…with leakage! Nothing major this time but the balm had started coming out of the applicator and was dripping a bit onto the sides.
Nothing major. I could have wiped it and kept it. But I was thinking if its leaking in any way I don't ever want to leave it in my make up bag or handbag.
Nothing more annoying than gunky stuff all over your belongings.
So back it went. Spend £3 on return shipping. Not heard anything yet.
Got an email saying this can happen when:
1. The Base is not securely clicked back into place and
2. Excessive periods spent in heat
Well – I hadn't touched either, since the moment I saw the leaky mess I put them back into the box, disgusted. So the base was not the issue.
And excessive heat….if it has been under excessive heat, it can't have been whilst it was in England.
I hate it when companies don't have proper procedures in place for faulty items.
Its different from a change of mind, its different from wanting a size exchange. If something arrives damaged its their job to fix it and fix it fast and without any of the expense coming from the customer.
Especially for online retailers.
Emailed them last night. No response.
How will it end? I will update you….

Washingtonville — Mayor Kevin Hudson is in a battle with the Federal Emergency Management Agency for money to help pay for replacing the flood-damaged Village Hall he ordered torn down.
Washingtonville — Mayor Kevin Hudson is in a battle with the Federal Emergency Management Agency for money to help pay for replacing the flood-damaged Village Hall he ordered torn down.
FEMA has approved just $41,000 for the building demolished at 29 W. Main St. The amount doesn't come near the hundreds of thousands of dollars the mayor estimated would be received from the agency to cover $1.5 million borrowed to buy and renovate a new Village Hall site.
The mayor has promised to fight for more money. To win, he will have to convince federal officials his decision to tear down the former municipal building — damaged during Hurricane Irene flooding — was necessary.
Hudson personally manned an excavator to help tear the building down Nov. 29, 2011, despite objections from members of his Village Board, who demanded he first present them with an engineering report of the damages.
The same trustees have since halted renovation of the new Village Hall at 9 Fairlawn Drive until the mayor provides more information about the work completed. The Orange County District Attorney's office also has subpoenaed records in relation to the demolition.
FEMA officials do not share the mayor's view that the building had to come down. The initial review of the village's FEMA application for the former Village Hall rejected assistance because "the damaged element was razed prior to the inspection," according to an Aug. 8 FEMA grant application report.
FEMA reconsidered that position after learning it had the wrong address for the Village Hall, and the building was located in a flood plain, making it eligible for additional consideration, the Aug. 8 document said.
The amended application does not change the agency's initial repair estimate, which the agency placed at $211,000.
Based on federal guidelines, the village would have been eligible for 75 percent of that amount; but a failure to have flood insurance on the building, for reasons that are unclear, docked the village an additional $156,254 from the total eligible repair cost.
That left just $54,751 to which aid could be applied.
Hudson said FEMA left out critical information in its repair estimate, including the cost of repairing the building's foundation and floor. If the additional items were included, the total repair cost would exceed 50 percent of the building's $750,00 value, the mayor said.
Based on that scenario, the village could receive more than $550,000 in reimbursement aid.
Hudson said his decision to tear down the former municipal building was a judgment call made in the absence of information and assistance from FEMA officials.
"There was nobody from FEMA telling me to know what to do," he said. "If they said 'Don't take the building down; you have to wait,' I would have."
FEMA officials also based its eligible repair cost estimate on information provided by the village and its engineering firm, H2M of Long Island, according to the documents. Yet, there is no mention of floor or foundation damage in the FEMA review of the data.
Hudson said the information his office provided FEMA contains convincing evidence of the foundation and floor damage. He said he did not know why the agency's officials did not include the floor and foundation damage in their estimate of repair costs.
FEMA officials could not be reached for comment.
If Hudson convinces FEMA of the additional damages, he still must fight with the agency to remove the penalty for failure to have flood insurance on the building, a mistake the mayor blames on members of the former Village Board, who he said rejected that insurance. Trustees Dave Heintz and Joe Galante, who were on that former board, dispute the mayor's contention.
Hudson compared his battle with FEMA to Orange County's battle regarding the repair estimate of the shuttered Government Center in Goshen.
After an initial figure of some $500,000 for repairs, FEMA sharply revised its figure for the county government building to more than six times the original amount, helping to bolster County Executive Ed Diana's case for demolition and new construction.
Unlike Diana, however, Hudson does not have an existing building to aid his argument with FEMA for more money.

A man has needs
This is the best thing that's happened to me today. When I woke up, grumpy as f-ck, and bloated, reading about it made me happy. Picturing it, and then picturing the conversation after it, was even better. That might be a little perverted.
As you know, T.I. is currently in prison for another year for being a dumbass and driving around tweaked and messing with his probation. A year is a long time to go without luxuries. A year is a long time to have to service yourself, and worry about being serviced by someone else in the shower.
So T.I.'s wife Tiny, the original Situation, went to visit him in jail. They were catching up, as married couples do, and for them, that obviously means she decided to reach into his pants and manually demonstrate how much she misses him.
This apparently is an off side move behind bars. You're allowed to cuddle, but only for love and not for lust. And they were caught. Which I imagine means that someone was watching them on closed circuit and busted in there while she was mid-stroke…? How do these events unfold? When the guard opens the door, was it like – please, can you just wait 'til she's finished? I really, really need to know.
Since then, T.I. has been transferred to a higher security area with fewer privileges. Self jerking only. Because Tiny hasn't been able to go see him since. She confirmed this to TMZ. And that part's even funnier to me.
That she got called up on her phone and asked – hey Tiny, how are you? Happy New Year. So, um, did T.I. get in trouble because you all got caught during a handjob? How does that conversation unfold? I really, really need to know.

Pre-K plan overcame misstep with Democrats
Near the end, the most crucial initiative of Mayor Julián Castro's rising political career was relegated to a tossup.
"I always figured it was going to be a close race," Castro said, but the precariousness of Pre-K 4 SA almost certainly came as a surprise, particularly for a popular mayor who devoted months to selling it as a salve for San Antonio's most corrosive problem, its paltry levels of educational attainment.
When early votes had been counted, the proposition was up by only 87 votes, or 50 percent. That lead widened to 53 percent on Election Day.
Sources close to the campaign traced the slim margin to an unexpected source: not a backlash by too many Republicans, but rather a recoil by too many Democrats who weren't adequately educated about the unwieldy initiative.
Expecting conservative voters to flinch, the campaign balked at the language on the ballot: "Adoption of a sales and use tax ... for the purpose of financing ... programs of the San Antonio Early Childhood Education Municipal Development Corp."
With that wording, Castro could forget about winning tea party types. So the campaign, flush with cash, pushed to persuade a portion of right-leaning residents, unleashing an ad blitz on television a few days before early voting and targeting about 60,000 households with direct mail.
Castro sought to win such support by stressing that his plan transcended politics. Hoping to unite the city for a common good, he repeated this mantra up to Election Day, echoing Barack Obama's own keynote speech in 2004, when the future president sought to unite a nation.
"This is not a Democratic plan or a Republican plan," Castro said. "This is a San Antonio plan that's in the best interest of all of our children."
Yet as Obama's election in 2008 exposed bitter rifts among Americans, Castro's appeal to pragmatism also attracted partisan heat. Local Republicans, notably Bexar County Commissioner Kevin Wolff, argued against the initiative by slinging red meat: aversion to new taxes, distrust of government programs.
Another threat to the plan came from a constituency the campaign believed it could count on the most: Democratic voters.
An example is Gloria Flores, a woman with six grandchildren, the youngest a 2-year-old girl. Emerging Tuesday from a polling site near downtown, she said she'd voted for Obama but against Pre-K 4 SA.
"I don't think it's fair to all of the children, all of the families," she said. "I just can't go with it with the way I understood it."
The way Flores understood it, however, was incomplete.
She knew the program would be free for families that qualify for state-funded pre-K, including those at or below 185 percent of the federal poverty level. She did not know the program would reserve 10 percent of enrollment, at affordable rates, for families above that level.
Believing her middle-class family couldn't benefit, Flores rejected the measure. A broader effort to educate voters, occurring earlier in the campaign, might have taught her otherwise.
Of course, the most critical function of the plan is to lift the prospects of economically disadvantaged children, who make up 64 percent of those in local independent school districts.
Thousands of these children will now receive a boost in full-day pre-K. Learning alongside them, their middle-class schoolmates will benefit as well, in kindergarten and beyond. The entire city's economic future is brighter as a result.
The campaign overestimated the support of Democrats, but the initiative passed because enough voters, conservatives among them, grasped this interconnection.

In the Layout Editor, you can quickly build layouts by dragging UI elements into a visual design editor instead of writing the layout XML by hand. The design editor can preview your layout on different Android devices and versions, and you can dynamically resize the layout to be sure it works well on different screen sizes.
The Layout Editor is especially powerful when building a new layout with
ConstraintLayout—a layout manager provided in a support
library that's compatible with Android 2.3 (API level 9) and higher.
This page provides an overview of the Layout Editor. To learn more about layout
fundamentals, see Layouts.
To learn more about how to build a layout with
ConstraintLayout, see
Build a Responsive UI with
Introduction to the Layout Editor
The Layout Editor appears when you open an XML layout file.
Corresponding to the numbers in figure 1, the regions of the editor are as follows:
- Palette: List of views and view groups that you can drag into your layout.
- Component Tree: View hierarchy for your layout.
- Toolbar: Buttons to configure your layout appearance in the editor and to change some layout attributes.
- Design editor: Layout in Design or Blueprint view, or both.
- Attributes: Controls for the selected view's attributes.
When you open an XML layout file, the design editor opens by default (as shown in figure 1).
To edit the layout XML in the text editor, click the Text tab at the bottom of the window. While in the text editor, you can also view the Palette, Component Tree, and design editor by clicking Preview on the right side of the window. The Attributes window is not available from the text editor.
Tip: You can switch between design and text editors by pressing Alt + Shift + Right/Left arrow (Control + Shift + Right/Left arrow on Mac).
Change the preview appearance
The buttons in the top row of the design editor allow you to configure the appearance of your layout in the editor. This toolbar is also available in the text editor's Preview window.
Corresponding to the numbers in figure 2, the buttons available are as follows:
- Design and blueprint: Select how you'd like to view your
layout in the editor; select either the Design view (a real-world
preview of your layout), the Blueprint view (only outlines for each
view), or Design + Blueprint for both side by side.
Tip: Press B to cycle through these views.
- Screen orientation and layout variants: Select between landscape and portrait screen orientation, or other screen modes for which your app provides alternative layouts, such as night mode. This menu also contains commands for creating a new layout variant.
- Device type and size: Select the device type (phone/tablet, Android TV, or
Wear OS) and screen configuration (size and density). You can select from several
pre-configured device types and your own AVD definitions, or start a new AVD by selecting
Add Device Definition from the list.
Tip: You can resize the device size by dragging the bottom-right corner of the layout.
- API version: Select the version of Android on which to preview your layout.
- App theme: Select which UI theme to apply to the preview. (This works only for supported layout styles; thus many themes in this list result in an error.)
- Language: Select the language to show for your UI strings. This list displays only the languages available in your string resources. If you'd like to edit your translations, click Edit Translations from the drop-down menu (see Localize the UI with Translations Editor).
Note: These configurations have no effect on your app's code or manifest (unless you chose to add a new layout file from Layout Variants); they affect only the layout preview.
Create a new layout
When adding a new layout for your app, begin by creating a layout file in your project's default
layout/ directory so that it applies to all device configurations. Once you have a
default layout, you can create layout variations for specific device
configurations (such as for xlarge screens).
There are a few different ways to create a new layout, depending on your Project window view, but the following procedure is accessible from any view:
- In the Project window, click the module (such as app) in which you want to add a layout.
- In the main menu, select File > New > XML > Layout XML File.
- In the dialog that appears, enter a name for the file, the root layout tag, and the source set in which the layout belongs. Then click Finish.
A couple other ways to start a new layout file (although the dialogs that appear are different) are the following:
- If you've selected the Project view in the Project window: open the res directory for your app module, right-click the layout directory where you'd like to add the layout and then click New > Layout resource file.
- If you've selected the Android view in the Project window: right-click the layout folder and then select New > Layout resource file.
Create a layout variant
If you already have a layout and want to create an alternative version to optimize the layout for different screen sizes or orientations, follow these steps:
- Open your original layout file and be sure you're viewing the design editor (click the Design tab at the bottom of the window).
- Click Orientation for Preview in the toolbar. In the dropdown list, either click a suggested variant such as Create Landscape Variant and you're done, or click Create Other and continue to the next step.
- In the dialog that appears, you simply need to define the resource qualifiers for the directory name. You can type it in Directory name or select from the Available qualifiers list, one at a time, and click Add .
- Once you've added all your qualifiers, click OK.
When you have multiple variations of the same layout, you can easily switch between them from the list that appears when you click Layout Variants .
For more information about how to create layouts for different screens, see Supporting Different Screen Sizes.
Convert a view or layout
You can convert a view to another kind of view, and you can convert a layout (view group) to another kind of layout.
- Click the Design tab at the bottom of the editor window.
- In the Component Tree, right-click the view or layout, and then click Convert view.
- In the dialog that appears, choose the new type of view or layout, and then click Apply.
Convert a layout to ConstraintLayout
ConstraintLayout is a view group available in the Constraint Layout
library, which is included with Android Studio 2.2 and higher. It was built from
the ground up along with the Layout Editor, so everything is accessible from the
design editor and you never need to edit the XML by hand. Best of all, its
constraint-based layout system allows you to build most layouts without any
nested view groups.
For improved layout performance, you should convert older layouts to
To convert an existing layout to
ConstraintLayout, do the following:
- Open your existing layout in Android Studio and click the Design tab at the bottom of the editor window.
- In the Component Tree window, right-click the layout and then click Convert layout to ConstraintLayout.
The command to specifically convert a layout to
ConstraintLayout is
more intelligent about inferring constraints and preserving layout than the
simple Convert view command described in the previous section.
To learn more about how to build a layout with
ConstraintLayout, see
Build a Responsive UI with ConstraintLayout.
Find items in the Palette
To search for a view or view group by name in the Palette, click the Search button at the top of the palette, or just start typing the name of the item when the Palette window is active.
You can find frequently used items in the Common category in the Palette. To add an item to this category, right-click on a view or view group in the Palette and click Favorite in the context menu.
Open documentation from the Palette
To open the Android Developers reference documentation for a view or view group, select the UI element in the Palette and press Shift+F1.
To open the Material Guidelines documentation for a view or view group, right-click the UI element in the Palette and select Material Guidelines from the context menu. If no specific entry exists for the item, then this command opens the home page of the Material Guidelines documentation.
Add views to your layout
To start building your layout, simply drag views and view groups from the Palette into the design editor. As you place a view in the layout, the editor displays information about the view's relationship with the rest of the layout.
If you are using
ConstraintLayout, you can
automatically create constraints
using the Infer Constraints and Autoconnect features.
Edit view attributes
Instead of editing your view attributes in XML, you can do so from the Attributes window (on the right side of the Layout Editor). This window is available only when the design editor is open, so be sure you've selected the Design tab at the bottom of the window.
When you select a view—whether by clicking it in the Component Tree or in the design editor—the Attributes window shows the following, as indicated in figure 3:
- The Declared Attributes section, which lists attributes specified in the layout file. To add an attribute, click Add at the top right of the section.
- View inspector with controls for width/height style. For views in a
ConstraintLayout, this section also shows constraint bias and lists the constraints that the view uses. For more information, see Build a Responsive UI with ConstraintLayout.
- A list of common attributes for the selected view. To see all available attributes, expand the All Attributes section at the bottom of the window.
- The Search button. Click this to search for a specific view attribute.
- The indicator to the right of each attribute value is solid when the value is a resource reference, and empty when it is not. This allows you to recognize hard-coded values at a glance. Clicking this indicator in either state opens the Resources dialog window, where you can select a resource reference for the corresponding attribute.
- Attributes with errors or warnings are highlighted, with red highlights for errors and orange highlights for warnings. One example of an error is an invalid entry in a layout-defining attribute (as pictured). One example of a warning is use of a hard-coded value when a resource reference is expected (as pictured).
Add sample data to your view
Because many Android layouts rely on runtime data, it can be difficult to
visualize the look and feel of a layout while designing your app. In Android
Studio 3.2 and later, you can add sample preview data to a
TextView, an
ImageView, or a
RecyclerView from within the Layout Editor.
You can right-click on one of these view types and choose Set Sample Data to display the Design-time View Attributes window, as shown in figure 4.
Figure 4. The Design-time View Attributes window
In a
TextView, you can choose between different sample text categories. When
using sample text, Android Studio populates the
text attribute of the
TextView with your chosen sample data. Note that you can choose sample text
via the Design-time View Attributes window only if the
text attribute is
Figure 5. A
TextView with sample data
In an
ImageView, you can choose between different sample images. When you
choose a sample image, Android Studio populates the
tools:src attribute of the
ImageView (or
tools:srcCompat if using the Support Library).
Figure 6. An
ImageView with sample data
In a
RecyclerView, you can choose between a set of templates that contain
sample images and texts. When using these templates, Android Studio adds a file
to your
res/layout directory,
recycler_view_item.xml, that contains the
layout for the sample data. Android Studio also adds metadata to the
RecyclerView to properly display the sample data.
Figure 7. A
RecyclerView with sample data
Show layout warnings and errors
If any issues are detected in your layout, they are indicated in the Component Tree with an exclamation icon ( or ) next to the corresponding view. To view the error details, click the icon.
To see all known issues in a window below the editor, click Show Warnings and Errors ( or ) in the toolbar.
From this window you can also enable Show issues on the preview, which adds a warning or error icon to each corresponding view in the preview (in the design view only, not the blueprint view).
Download fonts and apply them to text
When using Android 8.0 (API level 26) or Android Support Library 26.0.0 or higher, you can select from hundreds of fonts by following these steps:
- In the Layout Editor, click the Design tab to view your layout in the design editor.
- Click a text view.
- In the Attributes window, expand textAppearance and then click to expand the fontFamily box.
- Scroll to the bottom of the list and click More Fonts to open the Resources dialog.
- In the Resources dialog, select a font by browsing the list or typing into the search bar at the top. If you select one listed under Downloadable, then you can either click Create downloadable font to load the font at runtime (as a downloadable font), or click Add font to project to package the TTF font file in your APK. (The fonts listed under Android are provided in the Android system, so they do not need to be downloaded or bundled in your APK.)
- Click OK.

Turns out "lit" majors do find jobs.
Just ask Dana Holmes.
She is editor-in-chief at gifts.com, a 7-year-old online retailer devoted to sniffing out the best gifts for every occasion.
Holmes, who is in charge of blogging, Pinterest picks and other trendy content produced by gifts.com, says her heady undergraduate education primed her to be a choosy consumer. "It gave me a good eye for being critical and finding meaning in things," says Holmes, who is up to her eyeballs at the moment in potential holiday gifts.
Americans are likely to spend less during 2012 holiday shopping, Holmes predicts, but our gifts will carry more weight and meaning.
