Photos by Henry Horenstein. 2006, Powerhouse Books hardcover; 112 pages, approximately 100 black-and-white plates. ISBN No. 1-57687-327-7; Information: http://www.powerHouseBooks.com .
Most of Henry Horenstein's "Animalia" photographs were shot between 1995 and 2001, and 19 of these startling images--of wildlife in expressive close-up--were recently presented at the Harvard Museum of Natural History. They are wonderful studies, in which the contours and angularities of sea creatures, fire ants, monkeys, dogs, lizards, birds, or the knuckles of a gorilla become near-alien revisions of familiar fauna.
The snout of a pig in frame-grabbing close-up, the calligraphy of sea nettles floating along, the tufted tail of a thoroughbred horse, the hides of elephant and hippo--these and many other such photos rip their subjects from their usual contexts and force us to see these wondrous everyday creatures on fresh terms, from fresh perspectives, and as extraordinary specimens of natural diversity. The real beauty of these shots lies in the way they resist interpretation, as Zen-like affirmations of pure being.
Horenstein, an accomplished photo-realist and textbook author who also teaches at the Rhode Island School of Design, has made a solid career of representing the human and the non-human over the course of three decades of photography. Some of his "Animalia" images can justly be called iconic, but the sheer human interest of his other recent volume, "Close Relations," makes his high-craft animal shots seem a little self-consciously artistic by comparison.
Indeed, the time-honored tradition of family photography often yields carefully posed, idealized portraiture, but Horenstein's cache of family-and-friends photos, from the early 1970s, is an artful hybrid of domestic snapshooting and casual posing that conveys a strong sense of the times and glances warmly at the artist's middle-class Bostonian roots.
Most of "Close Relations" consists of photos Hornestein made when he was himself a student at RISD, although though there's no amateurish reek to these uncropped, medium-format studies shot on Tri-X film. Images of Horenstein's mom, dad, aunts, grandparents, friends, lovers, and the leitmotif of his family's feisty little poodle, Chammie, create a domestic salon that bursts with a lot of post-WWII optimism that feels tempered by '60s turmoil and a palpable sense of generational change.
Thus, a wonderful family portrait of two young, presumably married friends holding their infant daughter in their cramped Boston apartment is a telling study in post-hippie adjustment to the norms of middle-class life--and the look of doubt on the young mother's face seems to say it all. Similarly, Hornstein's shots of his mother and father--two game seniors whose weathered faces and loud clothing (the jumbled flair of '60s and '70s "fashion" is a humorous theme of many of these shots) mark them as epitomes of their changing times.
Horenstein may have been young and just finding his aesthetic footing in these early shots, but his instincts were unerring. The faces of his student friends have a somber, introspective cast that suggests a very typical '60s fusion of leftist disaffection and marijuana hangover, while the uncertainty and vague anxiety of the older folks is the cautionary offset to the youthful narcissism. And Horenstein's eye is provoked by the dark interiors of his domestic studies--the cluttered, curtained, makeshift apartments, siblings' rooms and Formica kitchens of his childhood--and the woodsy backyards of his New England milieu.
They provide a rich textural context for his affectionate yet unsparing vision--and connect Horenstein's work to the ragged realism of Nan Goldin (whom he influenced, according to Shannon Thomas Perich, who provides an afterword to this volume), William Eggleston, Lee Friedlander, as well as pay tribute to Horenstein's own teachers--the likes of Harry Callahan, Aaron Siskind and Minor White.

Don't let the credit crunch put a halt to your globetrotting
•Flexibility is key. Airfares can vary by several hundreds depending on the day of the week. Travelling whilst most people are still at work will save time and money, so try booking your ticket for a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday to save some cash and aggravation.
•Be spontaneous. There's nothing more invigorating than throwing caution to the winds and taking that last minute trip. But in order to protect your wallet from the increasing oil prices that are driving up the cost of flights, you'll need to book now if its savings you're after. Costs for airfare, hotels and hired cars for the most part follow the thermometer – as the temperature rises, so do the prices.
•Open your mind: Not everyone knows where and when they want to go for their next holiday. Travelling further afield is hardly inexpensive, but you can make your hard earned euro stretch as far as possible by heading to any destination accepting (or linked to) the U.S. dollar. Consider sunning yourself on the beaches of dollar-based Caribbean islands like Anguilla, Antigua, Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
•Look for signs of price weakness. Travel agents or companies that have already reduced their prices may be prepared to snip again. Politely and coolly ask for a discount. It always helps to mention that you are looking at their competitors who are willing to offer a better rate.
•Do your research online. Often prices on the airline or tour operators' website can work out cheaper than booking over the phone.
•Be clever about hotel breaks. City hotels tend to be less busy at weekends so prices are often more flexible. Country hotels often have more availability in the middle of the week. When a hotel has unusually low occupancy rates you also may be able to negotiate a cheaper rate, an upgrade for standard price, or get free breakfast -there is nothing to lose by asking.
•Get your timing right. To book a package holiday try phoning the travel agent one to three weeks before departure. For hotel stays wait until one to five days beforehand.
•The best way to get a free flight or upgrade is to use frequent flyer miles. With frequent flier miles available with most large airlines, it is easier than ever to accrue free travel.

Jeremias 9
1 Oh, that my head were a spring of water ¶ and my eyes a fountain of tears! ¶ I would weep day and night ¶ for the slain of my people.
2 Oh, that I had in the desert a lodging place for travelers, ¶ so that I might leave my people ¶ and go away from them; ¶ for they are all adulterers, ¶ a crowd of unfaithful people.
3 "They make ready their tongue ¶ like a bow, to shoot lies; ¶ it is not by truth ¶ that they triumph [^2] in the land. ¶ They go from one sin to another; ¶ they do not acknowledge me," ¶ declares the LORD.
4 "Beware of your friends; do not trust anyone in your clan. ¶ For every one of them is a deceiver, [^3] and every friend a slanderer.
5 Friend deceives friend, and no one speaks the truth. ¶ They have taught their tongues to lie; ¶ they weary themselves with sinning.
6 You [^4] live in the midst of deception; in their deceit they refuse to acknowledge me," ¶ declares the LORD.
7 Therefore this is what the LORD Almighty says: ¶ "See, I will refine and test them, ¶ for what else can I do ¶ because of the sin of my people?
8 Their tongue is a deadly arrow; it speaks deceitfully. ¶ With their mouths they all speak cordially to their neighbors, ¶ but in their hearts they set traps for them.
9 Should I not punish them for this?" declares the LORD. ¶ "Should I not avenge myself ¶ on such a nation as this?"
10 I will weep and wail for the mountains ¶ and take up a lament concerning the wilderness grasslands. ¶ They are desolate and untraveled, ¶ and the lowing of cattle is not heard. ¶ The birds have all fled ¶ and the animals are gone.
11 "I will make Jerusalem a heap of ruins, ¶ a haunt of jackals; ¶ and I will lay waste the towns of Judah ¶ so no one can live there."
12 Who is wise enough to understand this? Who has been instructed by the LORD and can explain it? Why has the land been ruined and laid waste like a desert that no one can cross?
13 The LORD said, "It is because they have forsaken my law, which I set before them; they have not obeyed me or followed my law.
14 Instead, they have followed the stubbornness of their hearts; they have followed the Baals, as their ancestors taught them."
15 Therefore this is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: "See, I will make this people eat bitter food and drink poisoned water.
16 I will scatter them among nations that neither they nor their ancestors have known, and I will pursue them with the sword until I have made an end of them."
17 This is what the LORD Almighty says: ¶ "Consider now! Call for the wailing women to come; ¶ send for the most skillful of them.
18 Let them come quickly and wail over us ¶ till our eyes overflow with tears ¶ and water streams from our eyelids.
19 The sound of wailing is heard from Zion: 'How ruined we are! ¶ How great is our shame! ¶ We must leave our land ¶ because our houses are in ruins.'"
20 Now, you women, hear the word of the LORD; ¶ open your ears to the words of his mouth. ¶ Teach your daughters how to wail; ¶ teach one another a lament.
21 Death has climbed in through our windows and has entered our fortresses; ¶ it has removed the children from the streets ¶ and the young men from the public squares.
22 Say, "This is what the LORD declares: ¶ "'Dead bodies will lie ¶ like dung on the open field, ¶ like cut grain behind the reaper, ¶ with no one to gather them.'"
23 This is what the LORD says: ¶ "Let not the wise boast of their wisdom ¶ or the strong boast of their strength ¶ or the rich boast of their riches,
24 but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me, ¶ that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, ¶ justice and righteousness on earth, ¶ for in these I delight," ¶ declares the LORD.
25 "The days are coming," declares the LORD, "when I will punish all who are circumcised only in the flesh —
26 Egypt, Judah, Edom, Ammon, Moab and all who live in the wilderness in distant places. [^5] For all these nations are really uncircumcised, and even the whole house of Israel is uncircumcised in heart."

Death by HoneyMay 19, 2009 at 2:54 pm | Posted in Thoughts | 5 Comments
Tags: LLB, Murder
Epiphany: The best thoughts at the oddest possible moment, like:
"The best way to kill someone: drown him/her in a giant pot of boiling honey. Provide goggles for best effect, and pot should be transparent."
…This post to be dissected and filled up in due time.
…Such random thoughts flitted through my mind as I went through my first paper on the 13th of May, at the most cruel time of 9 in the morning. It's worth mentioning that we were also required to be there at least 20 minutes before the paper was to start, for them to spew out the examination rules. And according to the examination docket from London, the paper is actually supposed to start at 10. Bah.
Well, never mind that. I'd been reading like mad for the past few days, drumming case after case into my miserable (from all the studying) mind. But, I thought, this should be doable. I'll get through alright. I did get through the paper. But it was madness, and I came out with a horrible feeling in my gut. I might actually fail this paper. Went home and crash-landed on my bed.
The next paper was on the 15th, Public Law, the subject I disliked the least, for it's political leanings. However, the previous two days spent on reading up on it had left me drained and down- I couldn't believe I'd ever looked kindly on the subject when the raw material was just so boring. I forced myself to read everything I had, and ended up wondering whether I'd made a horrible mistake by signing up for a law degree (Something that's occurred to me many times in the past). The paper was- I don't know, good or bad? More of the small topics (which I wasn't very familiar with) and less of the major ones- it didn't help that I intentionally went and did what was widely considered to be the hardest question in the bunch in a fit of desperation and perhaps temporary insanity… but never mind.
Next up, Common Law Reasoning and Institutions on the 19th. Why the long name? Don't ask me. This one was considerably better than the first two, and definitely put a spring into my step. I wasn't so down anymore, although thoughts of committing an irretractable mistake still dogged my mind…
And the final paper on the 22th, Elements of the Law of Contract. Another one with a long-winded name. This one wasn't too bad either- having been done during A-levels, with much of the key elements remaining the same. My answers were short, though, about one page per question. I'll never understand how others can write 2 to 4 booklets in total. I left about 5 minutes before the final ten minutes when no-one is permitted to leave, stopping for a chat with other early-leavers.
Law. Asian parents seem to have a predilection for sending their offspring towards it (Mine exempted, as I really fell into law, being unable to think of anything else to do). It's just viewed as this glamorous, money-making occupation. But learning it is a torture. A few years back I remember telling a friends mom that I'd be doing law, and she told me 'it's gonna be hard' (She's a lawyer herself). If I ever see her again I'd like to correct her: Law isn't hard at all. In fact, it's frighteningly easy once you see the pattern. But it's horribly boring, so boring that if you ever allow the boredom to seep through your psyche, it eats you up from the inside like a flesh eating beetle.
Some entertainment for all the tortured law students- a correlation chart from genzu, featuring some of the lecturers from London. Sadists, all of them. And here's your proof…
M represents Wayne Morrison, director of the London law program. Met him one too many times.
G represents Adam Gearey, one of the examiners and London lecturers. Never met him before.
C, bottom right, represents Simon Coldham, Criminal law lecturer. Just once- think Gordon Brown in Blair's body.
C, center, represents Curtiz Cotterrell, Public Law lecturer. Just once- mentioned in a previous post, I think.
B represents Hilaire Barnett, Public Law textbook author. To this day I have no idea whether it's a he or she.

How to Make Detox Seaweed Wraps At Home?
A lot of spas offer detox seaweed wraps which is an amazing detoxifier and stress-reducer. Seaweed wraps also help in improving the texture and elasticity of the skin. You do not have to visit a spa and shell out loads of bucks for a detox. You can now get amazing detox results by using seaweed wraps right in the comfort of your home. For a relaxing home spa detox seaweed wrap treatment, all you need to do is follow a few simple steps.
Steps for Making Detox Seaweed Wrap
Follow these simple steps to have a successful home detox spa treatment:
- In a bowl, take about 1/4th cup of nice seaweed powder and to this add sufficient water to make a thick paste. Keep checking the consistency of the mixture. Keep experimenting until you are satisfied with a mixture that is consistent enough to be applied on to the body. And, at the same time it should be able to stick to the skin.
- Take a plastic wrap and line up your bathtub with it. You can either use a shower curtain or even a plain kitchen plastic wrap should do. Or, you can also purchase a painting drop cloth and is very ideal.
- Apply the seaweed paste all over your body.
- Now, lie down flat in the bathtub and wrap your self up with the plastic sheet that has been placed in the bathtub.
- Wait for about an hour or so for the seaweed to dry up. Usually it takes about 30 minutes for it to dry.
- After the seaweed wrap dries up, take a shower. Firstly, wash yourself with warm water. While doing this, get rid of the seaweed from your body by moving your hands against the skin in circular motions.
- Once you are clean, wash yourself again with cold water and a nice shower gel. This will help in closing the pores. Now, dry yourself and apply a gentle mositurizing lotion.
It is easy to make detox seaweed wrap at home and it is quite effective. It can be worth giving a shot.

It's incredibly hard to send someone into space. It takes tons of money, huge amount of research and it's dangerous to send someone to a place were there body isn't adapted. But we've done it. For the last 50 years we have figured out how to take something as fragile as a human being and sent it into space and expanded the reach of mankind. I see no reason why we can't continue to strive.
I cannot remember who taught me the sentence that is my title. Perhaps it was my father, an engineer who started working with vacuum tubes, and ended working with integrated circuits. Perhaps it was John Glenn, my personal hero. Whatever the source, it is true. When we do research, we find new things. We did not think humans could fly in 1900, or that we could go to the moon in 1950. But this nation needs an aspirational goal to prove to ourselves once again that we can do great things. Going to Mars could be that goal, and could benefit all of us in ways we do not imagine.

I like the nice atmosphere of this forum and thought I had to introduce myself. I grow up in Sweden and did visit most European countries when I was younger with my family and also summer vacations in Italy, Greece and so on.
I am not the backpacker kind of traveller, I want some comfort and standard but I enjoy travel around.
When I found about Thailand in 1996 when I was here for the first time I knew I like Asia. After some returning trips I moved to Phuket permanently in 1999 and has now been living in Phuket since then. I have been to Malaysia, Singapore and Burma a lot of times. My next stop may be Shanghai next time I have to do a visa run. I am also interested in Hong Kong but I feel it is too expensive.
I am now 33 years old and enjoy my life here.

So no petrol consumed. Only the bike was electric… ahh, maybe we're missing the point? Meanwhile Tom Sagar was consuming mucho fuel and tyres at the ISDE, but given he stood on the second step of the podium it was worth the cost. Rally Raid Products used to race, but now they put their expertise into helping adventure riders create stronger bikes. And EnduroGP came to the UK for an all-new format of enduro. Pretty impressive it looked too. All this and a little bit more in Issue 31. Happy riding and reading. Jon Bentman (Editor, RUST)

Page Summary
Hello guys!!!
Hello folks!
Does anyone know why I'm getting this distortion on my image planes?
Hello all,
I have a ton of .3ds files that I'd like to play around with, but I only have Blender and Maya. Is there a way to convert them into some sort of other file that either Maya or Blender can read?
EDIT: This issue has been resolved. My client is opting for another 3d model. Thanks for your time.
Hey people!
Does anybody know of any good DS games that they could recommend?
I found this rather handy and easy to follow tutorial for modelling curtains and drapes - you can also use the same principles to model other items made from materials.

This past weekend was the occasion for the second annual New Amsterdam Bicycle Show, a one-stop expo for a diverse group of cycling-related brands and upstarts. While it's quickly become one of the major cyclist-centric events in the city, marking the felicitous intersection of Dutch sponsors such as KLM and New York's own Transportation Alternatives, the show is still an order of magnitude smaller than similar events on the West Coast.
Nevertheless, the strong attendance—some 4,500 cycling enthusiasts over two days—affirmed the growing popularity of pedal power, not least because the crowd represented a reasonably accurate cross-section of the NYC cycling faithful. In addition to the exhibitors in the entrance hall and the main atrium, the New Amsterdam programming included a solid lineup of notable speakers.
The panel on bike lanes—featuring writers Tom Vanderbilt and Matt Seaton alongside Caroline Samponaro of Transportation Alternatives and Lara Lebeiko of Bicycle Habitat—was interesting for its breadth, as the issues surrounding infrastructure served as a point of departure for a variety of topics related to cycling in the city. (I, for one, learned about the "Idaho Stop" law.)
Yet it's more or less a given that these types of events are a canonical case of 'preaching to the choir'—literally, in the case of Eben Weiss, better known as BikeSnobNYC, who suggested that cycling become a religion for greater legal recognition. The Brooklyn-based writer and sometime competitive cyclist attracted the largest crowd of all the speakers, filling the makeshift auditorium with longtime readers (myself included), who relished the rare opportunity to hear the inimitable BikeSnob speak in person. True to his uncompromisingly snarky web persona, Weiss delivered an incisive, entertaining presentation on both cycling policy—in short, money, if not religion, is required to grease the wheels of justice—and his bread-and-butter of quotidian grievances. Ever the lovable curmudgeon, Weiss decried (among other things) cycling epiphenomena such as "shoaling," "salmoning" and "circling" with the gusto of a stand-up comedian working the crowd... or, perhaps, an evangelist and his flock.
As for a takeaway message, every single one of the experts agreed that the conversation needs to move beyond traffic laws themselves towards an ethic of non-alienation: in short, to always yield to pedestrians. In his talk on Day Two, Ben Fried, Editor-in-Chief of Streetsblog, admitted that he'd roll through a light if he thought it was silly to wait, but that he always stops for pedestrians, even if he has right-of-way. Caroline Sampanaro of TA advised cyclists to adopt the practice as a sort of 'golden rule' of cycling; Tom Vanderbilt spun the saying "a conservative is a liberal who's been mugged" into "a conservative is a pedestrian who's almost been hit by a cyclist (in a crosswalk)."
Lastly, the forthcoming bike share program also came up in various contexts, specifically as a potential 'tipping point' for what Fried called the "mainsteaming" of cycling.

The cycling movement is looking to blossom this spring with more cyclist-friendly initiatives than ever before, and NYC is increasingly an epicenter for large-scale policy and publicity programming. After a successful first year in the five-floor Chelsea space (former home of storied art organizations such as Dia and X-Initiative), Manhattan...
The coming weeks will see plenty of student exhibitions as graduating classes the world over complete their degrees and enter (or re-enter) the professional world. SVA's Design Criticism is no exception, and in two short years, the annual conference has become a highlight of the ever-growing NYC design event calendar....

Awards contenders enter the ring
'Frost/Nixon' bow, 'Milk' expansion share spotlight with newbies 'Punisher,' 'Cadillac'Can you say "upmarket"? Increasingly, the holiday season's more commercial film releases will start sharing the boxoffice spotlight with year-end "prestige" titles as industry awards programs crank into gear and adult moviegoers gravitate to multiplexes.
That means this weekend's release of Universal's "Frost/ Nixon" in a handful of locations will be closely watched, with director Ron Howard, stars Frank Langella and Michael Sheen and writer Peter Morgan already generating kudos- season buzz.
Focus Features' Harvey Milk biopic "Milk," starring Sean Penn, and Fox Searchlight's Indian game show drama "Slumdog Millionaire" also figure in nominations handicapping, and their recent limited rollouts have gone tremendously well. Most observers expect similar success when the art films mount significant expansions this weekend.
Two pics bow in wide release today: Lionsgate unleashes its action sequel "Punisher: War Zone," while Sony trots out its period musical drama "Cadillac Records." But neither looks like a likely No. 1 opener, meaning Warner Bros.' "Four Christmases" could mark a second session atop the domestic boxoffice.
The R-rated "Punisher" sequel should gross more than $10 million, mostly from young male moviegoers. But it might struggle to equal the bow of its 2004 predecessor, which unspooled with $13.8 million en route to a total domestic haul of $33.8 million.
Ray Stevenson ("King Arthur") replaces Thomas Jane in the title role this time.
Opening prospects for "Cadillac" look limited to the single-digit millions, with its firmest support lying with older urban moviegoers. Key cast members including Adrien Brody, Jeffrey Wright and Beyonce Knowles ensure fan appeal, but a barely wide theater count of fewer than 700 playdates reflects the pic's modest ambitions.
"Christmases" registered a first-weekend tally of $31.1 million and should do at least half as well during its sophomore session.
Disney's "Bolt" looks likely to outpace "Punisher" for the boxoffice silver medal, as the animated comedy should still gross in the teen millions during its third weekend.
Fox's Hugh Jackman-Nicole Kidman starrer "Australia" — one of three films that unspooled the Wednesday before Thanksgiving — rang up $14.8 million during its first Friday-Sunday frame and could compete well for the bronze-medal position this weekend. Lionsgate's "Transporter 3" also enters its second weekend but could fall from the top five with a likely tally in the mid-single-digit millions.
Meanwhile, industryites will be watching for signs that Hollywood's recent spurt of boxoffice gains — which have the year tracking 2% ahead of the same portion of last year — can be sustained into December.
With just five frames left in the boxoffice year, it's still uncertain whether 12-month grosses will outpace 2007. To top its year-ago admissions comparison, 2008's current lead in boxoffice would need to widen to 3% or more to account for ticket price increases since last year. (partialdiff)

Gamescom has been going on for the past few days and a new trailer for MGR has been revealed. Jump to 3:20 to see the new footage as well as the introduction of the new character in Rising. Below are some fresh new screenshots from the trailer itself note though that much of this we have already seen via E3 and Comic Con already.
Everything up until 3:19 is from the last trailer how lazy :/ I was looking forward to a new trailer. Either way I'm still excited to play this. Nice to have a release date also 02/21/13 look out! I don't know how i feel about the dude in the third render either... His thighs are to wide.
Not sure what to think of this. Half of me loves it while the other half feels a bit disgusted at what this game has become (Hoping on missles again? -___-").......
Raiden "Why are you here!?"
dog robot"i am here to kill you"
Raiden " oh....ok^^"
Am I the only who thinks this looks absolutely terrible. Like a Michael Bay movie on crack with a dumpster fire thrown in.

As a result, the driver must drive the cars with the same skills and techniques of real race car drivers. The driver must keep the car well balanced to retain traction on all four tires and follow a good racing line to achieve the best results. Failure to keep the car under control and the car will spin out of control, or worst yet, slide into a wall and put you out of the race. Since sim-racing can provide such a realistic experience, many amateur and professional race car drivers use sim-racing as a tool to improve their skills.

text: Initially, I felt that if flag-burning was protected and that the cross burning took place with the permission of the property owner and was not done someplace where it was likely to intimidate anyone, then why not? Since then, I changed my mind. Cross burning is a form of terrorism. Even if done in private, I see it as terrorism training. What if some people took a fuselage of an airplane deep in the woods and practised hijackings? Like all of the hijackings, even prior to September 11, 2001, cross burning comes with a history of terror and murder. So the Klan of today is not the same as the Klan in the past? How many times do white supremacists need to motivate themselves with their views before they actually act upon them? Here's a link to a news story, if anyone is otherwise uninformed. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,72716,00.html Anyway, just thought I'd put this one out there to see what others think.

Trevor Kellock started learning the great highland bagpipe at the age of 14 through the Army Cadet program in New Glasgow, NS. First taught by Robbie MacInnis, he quickly discovered the joys of learning this historic instrument and musical style. After developing his introductory skills, he was pointed to Audrey Buchanan where he continued to receive first rate instruction and began competing in the amateur grades and as a competitive member of the Dartmouth and District Grade 2 Pipe Band.
As a soloist, he progressed through the ranks and after a few years was competing in Grade 1 and placing on prize lists in Atlantic Canada and at the North American Championships. Trevor continued with the Dartmouth band while completing university degrees in Science and Education and eventually took on the Pipe Major role after the departure of previous Pipe Major Doug Boyd. The band continued to have success and regularly placed in the top six at the North American Pipe Band Championships. With the mentorship of Wayne Moug, Trevor was able to assist a number of musicians in keeping the Dartmouth and District Pipe Band Organization successful both as a music teaching program, and also at multiple levels of competitive band.
Citing a decreased membership, the Dartmouth Pipe Band Organization underwent a restructuring, and Trevor elected to travel to play with the 78th Fraser Highlander Pipe Band based out of Toronto, Ontario. Under the leadership of Pipe Major Bill Livingstone, and later Doug MacRae, the band captured North American Championships and placed in the top ten at the World Pipe Band Championships on numerous occasions. In addition to competitive success, the 78th Fraser Highlanders had continued success in concert venues including the Dublin, Ohio Irish Festival and in Stornaway on the Isle of Lewis.
During this time, Trevor also had the good fortune of taking solo instruction from John MacLean. Under his outstanding tutelage, Trevor was able to begin competing in the professional grade.
Trevor moved to Edmonton in 2009, and the increasing costs of travel led to him leaving the 78th Fraser Highlanders for more local opportunities. He took an instructor and mentor role with the Edmonton and District Grade 3 Band, and in 2012 he assumed the role of Pipe Major. With fellow Maritimer Aaron Carter leading the drum section, the band went on to win the North American Championships in Grade 3 in 2012 and upgraded to Grade 2 the following year where the band finished top 4 at the North American Championships and has recently performed and competed at Festival Interceltique de L'orient in Brittany, France.
For the past two years, Trevor has been playing with the College of Piping Grade 2 Pipe Band in Summerside, PEI, while establishing a teaching program for piping in Sydney, NS. There are over a dozen young students at various stages of development in addition to a group of local adult players.
For Trevor, teaching has always been a focus. In addition to enjoying 5 years teaching Junior High and High School students, he had the opportunity to instruct within the Cadet program for many years. He was also a regular instructor during the March Break and Summer Programs offered at the Gaelic College. In addition to playing in and then leading the Dartmouth and District Grade 2 Pipe Band, he was an active teacher and mentor to the Grade 4 and 5 bands and the music school within the organization. A number of his students have gone on to become successful soloists and band players, and the experience gained from teaching a variety of ages and abilities has been rewarding while helping to shape his own musicianship.

I don't care for them myself. There's nothing special about things that everybody else either has or is about to have. Just strikes me as fluff. That being said, if it keeps people interested and others enjoy it, it must be a good thing.

Looking back, I had a freakin' blast playing hardcore self-found throughout D3V. HC was dangerous as fuck-all back then, and self-found allowed a sense of adventure to the progression. I would certainly play it again if given the chance, but not necessarily choosing it over RoS.
0ruksak posted a message on How we could put a Stop to Botters from Gaining the Advantage on Legit playersPosted in: Diablo III General Discussion
I recoil at the idea of altering a game program for the purpose of leveling the playing field between casual players, chronic players, and cheating players. Life isn't fair, and neither is gaming. Leave it alone....... for those of us who aren't competing with ghosts.
The ONLY thing that should be done about botting is increased enforcement and enhanced detection techniques.

I have several spots open. It's a good time to get in before 2.4.1 launches and I get bombed with requests. We have a very relaxed clan with plenty of people on at any given time to answer questions and join games. Always looking for good people who play any mode; Seasonal, non-seasonal, hardcore etc.
Shoot me an invite in-game or PM me here, post in this thread. I'll get ya in first come first serve.

People already have a proverbial gun pointed at their head if they want a "pet" or increased stash, let's not feed the fire by encouraging further seasonal incentives.
If they want to enhance followers, I'm all for it. Pets? I wish we didn't even have these silly toys in this game.
3ruksak posted a message on End game sucks!Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
Every game gets old, every game reaches an end to each individual, in time. If you play too much, the game gets old.
I remember getting burned out numerous times during my many years of playing Diablo 2. I'd quit. I'd take a break. I'd play again and, inevitably, the thoughts of 'what to do now' always came back until I finally hung it up for good.
All there was to do is trade items back and forth, do some MF runs, gain some XP doing Baal runs. Maybe some PvP in between runs. After awhile, the shine wears off and so begins the rigor of realizing that all you're doing is repeating the same actions over and over again just to better prepare yourself to repeat the same actions over and over again.
Have fun, play your own way. Stop chasing cheaters and unemployed slackers. Stop predicating your Diablo 3 experience entirely upon your success on a dubious leaderboard.
4 years and I'm still having fun. I still come home and often sit my ass down, smoke a bowl and play Diablo 3 for a few (several) hours. 4 years now, and I gotta say, the game is more fun for me now than it ever was. I don't play as much as I used to, but when I do play, I have more fun nowadays than back when the game was lousy with underwhelming itemization and lackluster build pliability.

i feel like none of you have no clue what you're talking about.
So we all know what we're talking about?
1ruksak posted a message on D3 dead? or just the season?Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
Seasons, and the ever increasing onus Blizzard has placed upon incentivizing seasonal play, has changed what D3 is to me. I do not like Seasons. I do not want to play seasons. I never will play seasons, no mater how much they incentivize it. I'm done trying to compete in this game, been done for a long time.
Despite helping to run a reasonably active clan for the last year, despite all the contacts I make here on these forums.... ........ I rarely play the game with another human being anymore. This online game that is entirely driven toward group play is nothing more to me anymore but a solo ARPG that I enjoy very much. This game has four modes; Standard Non-Season, Hardcore Non-Season, Standard Season, and Hardcore Season. As it happens, I far prefer the most unpopular, ghost town of a mode, HC NS.
The game is great for me, I love it (speaking toward the actual play of the game specifically). It continues to grow in depth and content, and after four years and thousands of hours, I still enjoy kicking back after a long day of work, smoking a bowl or two and playing D3 for a few hours. It used to be so much more for me than that, but their workaround for PvP was leaderboards, and this was a serious mistake on their part IMO.
In short; I've grown quite "casual" due to the insistence by the developers to drive the game toward speed...fast fast fast, timed runs, and seasonal restarts.
Love the game, hate the 'suggested' play-style bullshit.

We typically have a spot or two open every day/two days as a few members seem to come and go. Keep sending invites, I always accept them and it becomes first come first serve.
As a reminder; Since I get so many invite requests, I ask that if you send an invite make sure to leave your old clan first. Otherwise, I'll end up denying it eventually.
0ruksak posted a message on Will ever be PvP in this game ?Posted in: PvP Discussion
You reflect my thoughts almost exactly.
I'm a longtime Diablo player. I dedicated ALOT of time playing Diablo 2 in it's prime. What made PvP special in D2 was it being a "game within the game". The success of PvP in D2 was more or less created and established by the players. The creators just added the option to go "Hostile" against a player who was in the same game as you. Sure, there were aspects thought out by the designers as to what should happen when a player is fighting another player, but I doubt they thought it would become it's own "thing" within the game itself.
It was really more than "Oh, lets just play diablo 2 PvP, cause that's what this game is". It was about being in a game, discussing strategies, bullshitting, talking trash, and occasionally saying "G", and running out of town into the Moors to get your fight on. It was a break from leveling and doing MF runs, with no real guidelines as to what should or shouldn't happen. The players established there own guidelines and, for the most part, they stuck.
As far as Diablo 3 goes, I am thoroughly enjoying the game because I feel like Blizzard has effectively combined elements of old and new - It feels fresh, but there are plenty of things that simply remind me of the old diablo games... and I like that feeling.
The whole idea of what Blizzard perceives to be PvP as a part of Diablo, in this game, just feels wrong to me. I mean... It's there.... "Brawling". But again, it just doesn't feel right.
I think they should have just mimicked what they did for D2 - add a "hostile" option, and let players freely fight one another outside of town. And, sure add some PvP damage nerfs or whatever to make it more enjoyable, but I don't think it really needs to go beyond that. Let the players make something out of it.
The bottom line for me is gonna sound cliché, but seriously.... If it ain't broke, don't fix it. And if you want to make it better, than try to make it better. BUT, if something doesn't work, than that shit just don't work.
If Blizzard really wants PvP to be a "thing" in Diablo 3, I think they need to take the simplified approach and go back to what works. Start there, and then try to make it better.
Have fun, and Cheers!
I have always pointed toward the genius of D2 PvP being it's simplicity and lack of form or bounds. I read a long ago Blue post over at Bnet once years ago that stated "The geography of Sanctuary is not conducive to PvP gameplay."
In saying so, we were given an admission that they have no clue what made D2 PvP so fun for so many. Sadly, if PvP is ever offered in D3, it will probably be tightly constructed, constrictive, arena style team combat.

You never really know what kind of a dad your husband will be when you marry him. It's true. You can think you know, but you really never know, until it happens.
My kids – they have no idea how lucky they are. Their dad loves them so much, spends time with them, nurtures them, hugs them, is there for them whenever they need him. He would lay down his life for them.
Not everyone can say that about their dad. But I thank God every day, my kids can.

- CBD extract can reduce seizures in children with epilepsy
For a couple of years ago we come to know the experiences of children with epilepsy and with the help of oil rich in CBD cannabis, notice great improvements. For Charlotte Figi it is best known, because it has helped to change medical marijuana laws in the United States. But it is not the only data show that cannabidiol could become an important tool for treating different types of epilepsy option.
In fact, he is about to jump into the market Epidiolex a marijuana extract produced by the pharmaceutical company GW Pharmaceuticals (the same which markets Sativex) and containing cannabidiol. According to tests after 3 months from the first taking this drug, the overall frequency of seizures is reduced, on average, 45% in all participants. Another 47% experienced a reduction of 50% or more in such crises and almost 10% remained free of seizures. The Dravet syndrome who had managed to reduce their seizures by 62%; of them, 13% was free. Likewise, those who suffered from Lennox-Gastaut syndrome reduced them by 71%. Only 10% of those who participated in the study noted adverse effects such as drowsiness, fatigue and diarrhea or had to discontinue treatment.
Thanks to this kind of evidence, the American Academy of Pediatrics United States has taken a big step to accept medical marijuana as a medical alternative for treating children. The institution supports every medical record is reviewed and is an optional decide whether the patient really needs cannabis to improve their health.
Children with epilepsy, for example, suffer hundreds of daily seizures (even more than 200 or 300 in pathologies such as Dravet Syndrome) that prevent them from being normal children, smile, talk, eat and move. For many of these children, cannabis is practically their only hope.
- The medicinal cannabis can reduce opiate addiction
USA currently suffering an epidemic of addiction to painkillers, mostly opiate-based, a very effective substance, but at the same time very addictive. Sales have quadrupled in recent years and 2 million Americans are now addicted to these prescription drugs, while 16,000 people die each year from overdoses.
Numerous investigations assure that medical cannabis is an effective and safe analgesic that helps those dependent on opiates that "detoxify", as shown in this study led by Columbia University. Cannabis has a higher safety profile against most pain medications on the market; and side effects associated with their use are typically mild (headache, drowsiness and dry mouth). Opioid drugs have many more health risks and unpleasant side effects.
At a time when this addiction is wreaking havoc in our society we have to find a practical solution to manage pain. The "good news" is that states where medical marijuana is legal have significantly lower rates of addiction to these drugs and overdose deaths have fallen by an average of 25%. In Switzerland, it is the state which distributes small dose of cannabis to treat their citizens hooked on heroin. And in Portugal, the number of overdoses has declined markedly since the decriminalization of drugs in 2001.

text: So, some of you regulars may remember my post looking for what to call Mudflap's leg-hiking trick. I finally settled on, "Mud, are you a boy dog?"(shake head no), and "What do boy dogs do?"(hike leg). While the head shake is still a work in progress, she's got the leg hiking perfect. I didn't get a chance to work on it for about a month or longer, but today I FINALLY had some free time and that's the first thing I worked on. In a matter of minutes she had it down. ^^ SOOO, I decided to use my new camcorder to record it. Still trying to figure it out so I don't have it up yet. I'm a bit on the technology-illiterate side. The good news is, I just got a new computer too, so it should be able to handle vids much better than my stone age comp I had before. ^^ Lol! Just thought I'd share my news. I'll try to get it up ASAP. :dogtongue2: College really cuts down on your free time. :dogtongue: Lol.

A lovely collection of lullabies that would make an excellent bedtime read aloud -- and the artwork, from a bunch of different artists of varying styles, is beautiful, and worth lingering over.
Wonderful combination of picture book and music on CD. Parents & Grandparents would enjoy reading the poetry & sharing the interesting pictures with little ones. The music is relaxing & would be great to settle a child before nap time or bedtime. I borrowed the library book and after returning it I found myself humming the tunes. I highly recommend this delightful book/cd for any age. mm

According to the public state report, Expectant mothers in the UK could get up to £400 (about $600) in shopping vouchers. They will have to prove that they have quit the legal but dangerous substance, and is a way to help protect unborn babies. Researchers believe that financial rewards could get twice as many women to quit smoking.
The National Health Service (NHS) in Britain is struggling financially. Smoking-related problems are a major drain on the money, researchers stated. In Scotland alone a quarter of all pregnant women smoke, increasing the risks of infant death, miscarriage and stillbirths. Pregnant smokers cost the NHS from $12 million to $97 million each year. There is then the $18 million to $36 million spent on treating babies with issues due to the tobacco-related issues.
English and Scottish researchers screened woman treated in Greater Glasgow and Clyde. All expectant mothers who had a cigarette within the week previous to the screening were tested for carbon monoxide levels on their breath. Those who have seven parts per million were classed as current smokers, and were offered cessation services.
The researchers found that the financial rewards offered to smoking pregnant women showed the most success for getting them to quit. The women were twice as likely to quit compared to those who were offered the face-to-face sessions and weekly phone calls alone. The women who remained smoke-free for 12 weeks were given shopping vouchers for their efforts.
There is the question of the success of this afterwards. Women could go through the 12 weeks of being smoke-free just for the sake of the money. However, researchers say that those who quit for three months were more likely to remain smoke-free. There were also other requirements, including counseling sessions and passing breath tests.
Out of the 303 women in the control group, only 26 remained smoke-free when they were between 34 and 38 weeks pregnant. Out of the 306 who were offered the financial incentive, 69 had still quit smoking between the same weeks in their pregnancies. Researchers calculated that those given the monetary awards were 2.63 times more likely to fully quit.
The question is whether these financial rewards will be given for other dangerous habits. Policymakers have argued for many years that people are drawn to financial rewards. They may change their social behavior, especially when economic times are still tough. Householders may even recycle more if there was the possibility of council tax being reduced.
For now, there is still the debate over whether it is ethical to offer pregnant women financial rewards for not smoking. There are many people who believe that women should quit just for the sake of their unborn children. However, researchers believe that the financial rewards may be the best way to encourage pregnant women to quit smoking for good.

Finally, a chance to play the sequel to the game that started all the rampant cel-shading and butt grooving in video games. Jet Set Radio was another level of cool for games, and Future is, well... the future of that. Bigger environments, more animated objects like birds and crowds to cause havoc with, new tricks and graphic effects make this an exciting return to Tokyo-to.
The question is, is it a return to everything? There were definitely parts of Jet Set (Jet Grind in the US) that needed some tweaking. Trying to get up a half pipe was total murder, and trying to aim onto the next rail while in the air was as easy as trying to do a three point turn with a 18-wheeler. The characters moved sluggish, particularly when compared to something as quick and delicious as Tony Hawk, and the camera was finicky enough to amplify the problem.
For Future, the speed's definitely been amped up, while still keeping the same general control scheme. You can now do tricks like switching your grind position, but it's still mostly an automatic affair, just as in the first game. Grinding is definitely the focus of the sequel, which you'll find out the minute you notice yourself going vertical on light posts and other crazy objects in levels -- it's definitely a blast, and a welcome addition. The cities are now massive, with tons of activity, from flocks of birds on rooves to crowds milling about intersections. There are also jumps and extra objects packed everywhere so that there are more options for exploring your environment, instead of the limited and sometimes claustrophobic layouts of the first game, where you'd be repeating a specific jump again and again, trying to make it successfully because it was the only way to the next part of the area. The freedom is now yours to go nearly everywhere you please. Unfortunately, the price you pay for all this size at this point is some pretty slow framerates, but keep in mind that that game still has more than a couple of months left in development. In its defense, while the first, wide area could chunk down pretty badly, the second area ran quite a bit smoother.
Tagging is now much easier -- at least in the demo, the matching game for completing a tag is now gone, replace with a spray trigger that feels more like a gun because of its speed. See an arrow for a tag spot, nail it, and bam! Instant art. Larger tags may take multiple sprays, but now you can blow by the area multiple times without having to worry about people on your butt. Speaking of which, you also have an extra advantage against the cops this time around, since your spray is a lot more fast action. You can take out a few cops in no time, giving yourself a good head start when trying to avoid them.
I also had a chance to check out the multiplayer game with Anoop, which is still pretty early. It's a simple race with some rails and multiple levels to explore, but fairly small in size to keep you up against your competitor in close quarters. You can grab bonuses like spikey mines that can be thrown ahead of you, or a speed boost that also leaves bombs in your wake. It's a nice addition, but the slower controls of Jet Set in general make this play out a little awkard at times, especially when you start grinding rails in the wrong direction because you've hit it at a slightly off angle.
On a final note, the newest graphical 'innovation' added to Jet Set Radio Future is a weird combo bonus where the screen looks as if it's pixelating and melting all at the same time. Literally, the first time I saw it I thought the TV was shorting out. It's odd and not exactly hi-fi, which basically means it fits in with Jet Set Radio perfectly.
Future may be a sequel, but in some ways it's like a complete version of the first game. Smilebit's using the Xbox hardware to fulfill some things that it was definitely reaching for in the original game, like huge cityscapes, while working on some of the control problems and details that felt unfinished the first time around. I can't wait to see how this game grows and shapes up over the coming months.
-- V-Lo

For my final project, I've chosen to revise my "unpaper" project, a stop-motion video critique of lyrics from Kanye West's latest album, The Life of Pablo. Though I was happy with the visual and satirical aspects of my original short film, I felt the project demanded both a higher degree of user interactivity and a deeper investigation of the themes we've explored in this course.
In my revision, I've attempted to address both of these issues. Drawing on and developing my previously held skills in HTML and CSS while also gaining new proficiency in Javascript, I created a website that lets users hover over certain words from two of Kanye's more troubling songs to reveal a text box with information on the background of the lyric. By contextualizing these lyrics both within Kanye's discography and within the genre of hip-hop as a whole, I provide users with a better understanding of the trends and tropes that these lyrics figure into. Hovering over the word "bitch" on the first page, for example, shows both a picture of Kanye's tweet defending his use of the term and a link to an essay tracing the history of the word and its entrance into nineties gangsta rap.
Second, and perhaps more importantly, I've implemented an interface that allows users to "re-write" Kanye's these two lyrics by rearranging and editing the original contents. My intent here was to create an interactive playground where users can revise the lyrics to better reflect the values they hope the genre will someday uphold (while scrubbing away the ones it should have ditched a long time ago), thus presenting an idealized future for hip-hop. The overall effect, I'd like to think, is something akin to Donna Haraway's "Cyborg Manifesto," which similarly invites readers to imagine a future where the boundaries between human and machine, and between male and female, have dissolved to form the cyborg, "a creature of social reality as well as a creature of fiction." (149). In the same vein, my project harnesses the power of imaginative fictions in the hope that they might eventually develop into fact.
Of course, any project that deals with censorship necessarily invites discussion of authorship, and of the author's power over his/her own creations. By making new meanings of already-written works, users take on the new model of authorship – that of the consumer-producer or 'prosumer' – that Bruce Sterling proposes in his essay "The Death of the Author 2.0." (Sterling). The "2.0" in Sterling's title refers to Roland Barthe's own seminal work (you can probably guess the title), wherein he argues that typical celebrations of the author as a cloistered genius free of societal influence ought to be abandoned in favor of a newly empowered reader; in other words, "the birth of the reader must be at the cost of the author." (Barthes 147.) I'd argue that a feminist reading of Barthes' and Sterling's essays is hardly out-of-reach here, considering that a dismantling of the idea of authorship simultaneously invites a deconstruction of (Western) ideals of the author – namely, that of the educated and powerful white man. This site thus displaces Kanye West's authority – and more generally, male authority – over depictions of women in media, returning that power to its rightful spot in the hands of readers and consumers.
This project has been a unique challenge for my own feelings toward Kanye's music (and the many, many hip-hop songs with similar content), since it can be difficult to reconcile my love for rap with my support for feminism. I've learned, though, that it is certainly possible to enjoy a work while also remaining intensely critical of it. In fact, I'd argue that the real danger of songs like Kanye's are not simply that they exist, but that we so often accept them at face value as party anthems and background music. Though this route is undoubtedly the easier one, Londa Schiebinger's chapter on the use of gendered metaphors and narratives in scientific research and their influence over subsequent work reminds us that the words we use have tremendous sway over the world they appear in (147-149). Lyrics – just like literature, art, and other media – deserve a critical eye, and this project is an effort to facilitate that very criticism.

NURSING HOMES AND PHARMACY – How it works
In British Columbia all nursing home facilities have one licensed pharmacy contracted to provide pharmacy services to their residents.
Hollyburn Pharmacy is the licensed pharmacy for West Vancouver Care Centre providing pharmacy services which include:
When a person takes residence in a long-term care facility, their Fair PharmaCare medication coverage is replaced with a different medication coverage called PharmaCare Plan B.
Plan B coverage applies to the same formulary of medications as were eligible under the Fair PharmaCare program. Unlike the Fair PharmaCare plan (which applied when living in the community), Plan B is not associated with a yearly deductible that resets annually.
Therefore, residents in long-term care facilities will receive immediate coverage for all medications that are PharmaCare benefits.
All medications dispensed fall into one of 3 categories:
NON-BENEFIT MEDICATIONS (not covered)
The following is a list of medication classes (with examples) that are not covered by PharmaCare (non-benefit medications) and are the financial responsibility of the resident:
(Please note that the above list represents the most commonly prescribed medications and is not a complete list).
All medications that have been reviewed by PharmaCare and determined to be non-benefit in status are not covered by PharmaCare and are the financial responsibility of the resident.
Newly released medications from drug manufacturers that have not yet been reviewed by PharmaCare are given non-benefit status and are not covered by PharmaCare and are the financial responsibility of the resident.
Some prescription medications that are normally classified as non-benefit drugs by PharmaCare may be eligible for Special Authority coverage.
The Special Authority coverage can only be applied for by the patient's physician or specialist.
In order to be granted the Special Authority coverage, the patient must meet the criteria listed for each medication. If the resident does not meet the criteria indicated by PharmaCare, coverage will not be granted. For a complete list of coverage, please refer to the website: www.health.gov.bc.ca/pharmacare/sa/criteria/genericbrandtable.html
All medications sent by the pharmacy to the facility for the resident are initiated and authorized by the resident's physician or specialist.
This includes:
All re-ordering of liquid medications, topical medications, inhaled medications, and PRN medications is done by the nursing staff when supplies are low. The pharmacy will send the re-orders of these medications when the request from the nurse is received.
PAYMENT FOR NON-BENEFIT ITEMS (not covered by PharmaCare)
The pharmacy will charge the costs of all medications not covered or not fully covered by PharmaCare to the resident's pharmacy charge account. Any front store or home health care product ordered and sent to the resident will also be charged to the resident's pharmacy charge account.
A Statement of Account will be sent by the pharmacy to the facility or to the resident/person responsible for the financial affairs of the resident each month. Payment is to be made to the pharmacy each month.
It is the responsibility of the resident or person in charge of the financial affairs of the resident to pay the pharmacy charges each month.
If a resident's pharmacy charge account falls greater than 60 days without payment, the pharmacy reserves the right, as supported by the B.C. College of Pharmacists, to withhold dispensing of non-benefit or partially covered medications until payment of the resident's pharmacy charge account is cleared.

A McDonald's in Newcastle was evacuated after a car burst into flames in the drive thru.
Firefighters were called to the scene after a Vauxhall Zafira caught fire at the Kingston Park McDonald's just before 3pm on Saturday.
A woman and her four children managed to escape from inside the car before the fire began to take hold.
Two fire engines from Gosforth and Newcastle city stations were called to the fast food drive-thru on Belvedere Parkway and customers and staff were escorted from the restaurant.
Huge flames started to spread to the roof of the building and there was some minor smoke damage inside.
The silver Vauxhall was gutted by the fire and was left with burnt-out windows after it had been extinguished by fire crews.
Stunned passer bys took pictures and video as smoke filled the sky and flames licked the side of the McDonald's.
The blaze is believed to have been caused by a fault in the car. More than 230,000 Vauxhall Zafire B models have been recalled due to a fault in the heating system causing fires to break out in the dashboard.
Firefighters checked inside the McDonald's for any damage before leaving at around 4pm.

Gamma radiation turned mild-mannered Bruce Banner into the Incredible Hulk. Hyundai is trying for a similar transformation with its latest SEMA concept.
With the help of accessory supplier EGR Group, Hyundai has turned a Veloster Turbo into a wicked street racer.
The most striking aspect of the EGR Night Racer concept is its paint, a color affectionately known as "Yellowcake," possibly because it makes the car look like it's glowing with radioactivity.
As if the Night Racer wasn't already easy to spot, even in the dark, Hyundai and EGR added a roof-mounted LED light bar. A "night racer" needs to light the way for its driver, right?
Combined with the aggressively flared fenders, the light bar makes the Night Racer look a bit like a rally car, which is not a problem at all.
Hyundai also made some modifications under the skin.
The stock Veloster Turbo's 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine has been massaged to produce 250 horsepower – up from 201 hp. The Night Racer also sports Brembo brakes, DPE three-piece racing wheels, and Toyo semi-slick tires.
Most SEMA show goers will probably pay attention to that exterior, though. Its combination of wild paint and body add-ons, on top of the Veloster's already bizarre-looking three-door hatch body, should make quite an impression.
The Hulked-out Veloster will probably make Hyundai's other SEMA concept, the 1,000 hp Genesis Coupe the company built with Bisimoto Engineering, look subtle and restrained. Until the Genesis gets fired up, that is.
