We all know what it's like getting ready to go cruising on a Friday or Saturday night. You find your favorite fitted jeans, a t-shirt that highlights all that hard work, comb your hair out of your eyes and practice your best sexy, slightly crooked smile. While in the past cruising took place in parks, secret bars and bathhouses, today the cruising scene is found along the proud Strip and myriad of dating apps. Remember, no matter how you meet up with your next catch, you can minimize your risk by using protection and being open about your status.
What is cruising? Cruising is getting out and trying to hook up with someone, often times for sex, but sometimes further relationships develop with guys you meet while cruising.
The internet and mobile apps. Hooking up online can be exciting. Opening up your phone to find a buffet of potential partners can be quite a boost to your 9 to 5 grind. But there is no guarantee you'll get what you ordered, and you can never be entirely certain about the truth of their situation and profile without staring those conversations. Who hasn't set his Viagra hopes on hitting the hairy business bear you chatted with, only to arrive to his place and discover he doesn't quite fit his profile picture? There is also the safety factor.
Parks. Park cruising because popular in the 60s and 70s due to the low acceptance for gay men. Men would park and watch while others drove slowly past them, observing one another. Parks are sometimes still used to find hookups, but the practice has diminished with the rise of gay bars.
Bars. Then came the gay bars in the 70s and the 80s. A glance down to the package, a nod, or a slight smile, can be an invitation to approach. If there's chemistry, you might end up going home with him. If you top or bottom without protection such as condoms and PrEP, you are at high risk of contracting HIV or an STD.
Bathhouses Have gotten a bad rap since the first days of HIV/AIDS in San Francisco and New York City because of their involvement in spreading the virus. Going to the bathhouse can be risky, but there are ways to play at bathhouses and still be safe. For one, you can choose safer sex practices from the list outlined here. If there's no penetration, your risk for getting HIV is low. Secondly, you can use condoms and lube which will reduce your risk as well.
So what? Whether you cruise Eisenhower Park, the bars, or online you can never be sure who you are doing, or who is doing you! Play smart and play safe.

New York Gets Jack'd! 24 Season Premiere Live Diary – Part II
Welcome back! It's time for Part II of my epic 24 Season 8 premiere live blog. In case you missed Part I from last night (which covered 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm), you can check it out right here.
When we last left off, we had tallied a total body count of nine through the first two hours (nine in the first hour, zero in the second).
Here's our cast of characters so far: In addition to "I've got a plane to catch" Jack Bauer, Chloe O'Brian and President A. Taylor (the A stands for Awesome), we met:
- CTU Agent Fembot (Dana Walsh) who has a secret trailer trash past and is engaged to…
- CTU Agent Freddie Prinze Jr.
- NYC Director Hastings (I don't have a nickname for him yet) UPDATE: WE HAVE A NICKNAME: CTU Chief Bubba Hunch
- A new presidential chief of staff who may or may not be trustworthy (no nickname yet)
- Arlo the incompetent or idiotic CTU analyst (who may or may not be a mole)
- Level 1 Bad Guy (aka Horace Goodspeed and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog) who appears to be leading a conspiracy to assassinate…
- President Omar Hassan of generic Islamic nation (aka Slumdog Millionaire Who Wants To Be a Millionaire Host), in town to sign a landmark peace treaty
- President Slumdog Millionaire has been interviewed by and appears to be having dirty western thoughts about the journalist Meredith Reed (aka Jessica Stein)
- Jessica Stein may or may not be just a decoy in the plot to assassinate President Slumdog Millionaire or actually involved.
So here we go with my live diary/would-be Tale of the Tweets for Part Two of the premiere of Day Eight of 24. Let's get to the ass-kicking and body count, shall we?
New York Gets Jack'd! 24 Season Premiere Live Diary – Part I
I decided not to live-tweet the two part/two night/four hour premiere of the 8th season of 24 because I wanted to be fully focused. 24 requires complete and undivided attention, especially as they set up the season. Which takes place in New York City! But as the premiere unfolded, I realized I had so much snark to share. And that I have a blog. So if sharing snark about 24 isn't what the blog is for, I don't know why I bother.
So here we go with my live diary/would-be Tale of the Tweets for Part One of the premiere of Day Eight of 24. Let's get to the ass-kicking and body count, shall we?
The following takes place between the hours of 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.
Events occur in real time.
Disclaimer: the time-stamping is approximate. My TiVo time is not quite in sync with the official 24 clock, so there's a 2 minute margin of error.
4:01: Hey! Not everybody in NYC is a crack addict. #stereotyping
4:02: Two minutes in and the body count is already at two. This is going to be a good season.
4:04: Jack's granddaughter is a real cutie. I sure hope she doesn't get caught up in this nonsense.
4:05: So they use fake Fox News on a Fox show so they don't want people to see how ridiculous the real thing is?
4:05: Oh Kim Bauer. I forgot how much you annoy me.
4:07: The actor who played the host of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire in Slumdog Millionaire is the president of Iran, er, Kamistan, er, generic Islamic nation.
4:07: But the actor who plays him is Indian. Oh, nevermind.
4:07: It's 24. Racial profiling is not only standard, it's expected.
4:08: President Taylor is made of awesome.
4:16: Jennifer Westfeldt lives with John Hamm. Isn't that enough? Now she must have the president of Kamistan as well?
4:18: Hassan's brother seems like a real tool. I'm sure that won't be a factor either.
4:21: 21 minutes in and Jack pulls his first awesome move of the season.
4:21: "You're lucky I'm retired." Jack Bauer. Bad ass.
4:22: Ooh. CTU has fancy new digs in NYC. Our tax dollars hard at work.
4:22: Another engaged couple at CTU? There will never be another Tony and Michelle!
4:22: Perimeter!
4:23: Oh blonde woman you did NOT just talk patronizingly to Chloe O'Brian.
4:24: Why won't people learn to listen to Jack Bauer?
4:24: I love how Jack pulls the same "Don't make me go to the president" move every season.
4:25: CTU director Hastings: "Gather com and tactical. Tell them we've got a situation." *giggles* Jersey Shore is EVERYWHERE!
4:26: "Who is Jack Bauer?" Arlo is clearly an idiot. And that might turn out to be relevant later. Just a hunch.
4:34: Ooh, the president got a divorce! Over Olivia. And the murder she paid for. And that's that.
4:36: Ethan's popping pills. That won't be relevant later.
4:36: Jack to Kim: "Something came up. Gonna be at little late." Understatements of the year.
4:37: Hmm…the Baccarat store is located at 59th and Madison. Let's see. That's approximately NOWHERE NEAR 18th and 9th.
4:38: Having trouble buying into the concept that Chloe is having trouble with technology.
4:38: Chloe is the modern-era greek chorus. Speak the truth, girl!
4:39: Agent Freddie Prinze Jr. Not really buying it.
4:40: Oh no, damn good samaritan calling the police. Don't you know it's Jack Bauer?
4:41: The Magic Satchel! It's back!
4:45: Oh damn. Mrs. Hassan looks like a cold bitch.
4:46: Hassan's daughter seems like a good kid. I hope she doesn't get caught up in all this nonsense.
4:47: Fun fact: President Omar Hassan Ahmad al-Bashir is the real president of Sudan. I learned that when I googled "President Omar Hassan."
4:48: New Chief of Staff. Trustworthy? Too soon to tell. (Man, I've clearly watched waaaaay too much 24).
4:49: Why do they make the NYPD seem like incompetent idiots?
4:49: Listen to Jack Bauer, dammit.
4:49: Two NYPD cops down. Body count now at four.
4:50: "Mr. Hastings, we have a situation at the pickup." Situations everywhere.
4:51: And the award for best use of a firefighter's axe as an improvised murder weapon goes to…Jack Bauer!!!!!!!
4:51:: Two bad guys down. Body count now stands at six in the first hour. Nice work.
4:52: Holy fucking shit. What the hell was that? Explosion. Jaw drops.
4:53: Give me a name! Who's on the inside? Haven't we heard this before?
4:53: Of course Victor dies before he can give Jack the name of who is on the inside. Otherwise the show would be called 8.
4:54: Two CTU agents and informant dead in the explosion. Body count at 9 after first hour.
4:55: I knew Jessica Stein could not be trusted!
And that's a wrap on the first hour. Body count total stands at 9.
Let's see what unfolds next.
The following takes place between 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.
5:02: Arlo. Arlo is not to be trusted! Or just really incompetent. Too soon to tell. But there's always a mole at CTU. Always.
5:02: Dying declarations FTW!
5:03: I didn't know they knew how to pronounce nuclear on Fox. Well done.
5:09: So they got Jessica Stein. That was a little too easy. Somehow I think there's more to this plot.
5:14: And Chloe just said exactly what I said! You'll have to trust me on that.
5:16: "I promise I won't be long. I'll have to meet you at the airport." Oh Jack why must you lie to Kim?
5:17: "We're coming to pick you up at CTU." File under Bad Idea Jeans.
5:19: Chloe and Jack! Together again.
5:20: Why do presidents hire their brothers to be their chiefs of staff, etc.? Younger less successful brothers always have it in for older successful brothers on TV.
5:23: Aha! It's the brother! I knew it! Told you he was a total tool.
5;24: The Level 1 Bad Guy's accent sounds just like Triumph the Insult Comic Dog!
5:27: So I had to google Katee Sackhoff. I'm sorry, BSG fans, I never watched.
5:28: If Dana Walsh has a secret past and a former identity, how did CTU miss that on their oh-so-thorough security clearances? Guess I'll have suspend my disbelief. Again.
5:31: Why don't they listen to Jack Bauer? Can I program that as an auto-correct?
5:33: Chloe is right. Jack has asked her to do some crazy-ass shit over the years. I mean, days. I mean, hours. Whatever, you know what I'm saying.
5:34: Kim Bauer pleads with her father. And we have Kim Bauer to thank for this entire season of 24. I'm not sure if I'm ok with that.
5:35: Gratuitous shot of the adorable granddaughter Teri. Man I hope she doesn't get caught up in this mess.
5:36: HD is not kind to a lot of the cast members on 24.
5:37: Jack is back! We now resume to our regularly scheduled ass-kicking.
5:41: Them's some really fancy digs at CTU NYC. I wonder where it's located.
5:42: President Hassan: "If the price for peace is my life, so be it. Now, who wants to be a millionaire????" Oh, that's not what he said? I must be hearing things.
5:43: The brother has that long hair, is short and is totally sketchy. I can't believe his brother doesn't see it?
5:45: Chloe's hair looks great. And they even gave her decent clothes and a pretty necklace for this season.
5:46: Katee Sackhoff looks sort of like a fembot. A trailer trash fembot!
5:46: So if this slimy Kevin Wade found out who Dana really is, how did CTU miss this on her background check? Oh right, suspension of disbelief.
5:48: Really? If I had Sprint I could get access to a sneak peek of next week's 24? Yeah, I'll stick with Verizon thanks. Unless I get an iPhone. But I digress.
5:52: Jessica Stein had direct phone contact with someone at the end of the first hour. Was it just her editor at the newspaper or someone more sinister? When is she going to mention this?
5:53: So the Level 1 Bad Guy who launched an assault missile and took out the CTU chopper is pretending to be a police officer from Queens? Awesome!
5:53: Corollary: how did he land a job with the NYPD and on the UN Security Detail if he's a foreign national? Suspension of disbelief.
5:55: Oh yeah, Jack Bauer's gone rogue. Game on, bitches.
5:56: Not Jack Bauer's Magic Satchel! They took his Magic Satchel!
5:57: Oh he dropped President Taylor's name again!
5:58: Thank god Jack got his Magic Satchel back. All is right with the world.
5:59: OMG. Triumph the Insult Comic Dog just pulled a gun on the nice policeman and his wife.
5:59: "Tear off a strip and put it over Maggie's mouth. Do it. For me to poop on!"
And finally:
And since my rule is no previews, I will see you tomorrow night for Part II.
Total body count after the first two hours stands at nine.

Tale of the Tweets: World Series Championship (and Chris Meloni) Edition
Happy. Exhausted. Hung over. Relieved. That's how I feel right now as I put together the final 2009 installment of the Yankees Tale of the Tweets. Why is that? Oh, because the Yankees closed out the Phillies last night at the Stadium to win Championship #27. The boys got to Pedro Martinez early and won thanks to outstanding pitching from Andy Pettitte, Damaso Marte (yes, really!) and the great Mariano Rivera and a series-record tying 6 RBI from MVP Hideki Matsui.
Requisite disclaimer: if you're looking for real analysis and an actual game recap, please look elsewhere, including my friends at River Avenue Blues, This Purist Bleeds Pinstripes and Yankeeist.
We (@rebecca_glass @bkabak @schwartzslaw @joepawl @larry_koestler @bniche) gathered at Blondie's on the Upper West Side for the third straight game, along with a ton of Yankees fans. Blondie's had a good vibe working from the start (unlike Monday night), and the team took the lead early. As the game progressed, it looked like our boys were going to close this thing out in six games.
The crowd was fired up and lots of chants ("Der-ek Jeter", "Let's Go Yankees!" "Andy Pettitte", "Hip Hip Jorge!", "MVP! MVP!", "Who's Your Daddy?") erupted at the bar throughout the game. And as usual, the Blondie's DJ played all the Yankees songs, just as if you were at the Stadium: Empire State of Mind, YMCA, God Bless America, Take Me Out to the Ball Game, I Wanna Rock, Cotton Eye Joe (unfortunately), and Enter Sandman.
After Mariano locked up yet another World Series save (there are no words to describe Mariano), they put New York New York on repeat and we sang along until we couldn't sing any more. (Note: pictures will be posted later. I had some technical difficulties with iPhoto and thought I might have lost the pictures, but they're fine; I just couldn't upload them).
Without further ado, I present the Tale of the Tweets: World Series Championship (and Chris Meloni) Edition:
Just a few people at the bar for the World Series http://post.ly/BdhT
OH: At least he got good wood on it. #thatswhatshesaid
Welcome back Hideki Matsui.
There is a lone Phillies fan here. Why would you come to a Yankees bar? Seriously. He's going to be abused all night.
Come on. We've got to be able to hit that. #thingsthatsounddirtybutreallyarent
I'm afraid to see what Evil Stacey tweeted after that A-Rod strikeout. (@gotsu_bb)
What's Japanese for "daddy"?
Matsui needs a new nickname. "Chichi" is daddy in Japanese. #chichi
Who was the last DH to win World Series MVP? #twitterismygoogle
Chris Meloni just walked in to the bar. No joke.
And I just walked by Chris Meloni (not on purpose, I swear). He is, um, super hot. Wow.
And I just high-fived Chris Meloni. Who agreed with the Daily Show that Philly fans are the douchiest.
CBS in NY has a camera at Blondie's to film the hoopla. We might be on tv later!
Chants of MVP at the bar for Matsui. #notashock
It is now time for the Hideki Matsui MVP-eanut M&Ms.
Witnesses to the Meloni high five: @rebecca_glass @bkabak @larry_koestler @joepawl @schwartzslaw @bniche.
On our feet at the bar for Andy Pettitte. #awesomeandy
Oh no! Meg is in twitter jail! RT @YankeeMegInPHL I'm in TWITTER JAIL!!!!!!
My favorite part of a night like this is the crazies that come out in NYC.
Damaso Marte. To sneeze or not to sneeze. That is the question.
Never been so happy to hear God Bless America. 6 more baby.
Buy 6 get 7th free! RT @bkabak We just got yet another pitcher of Brooklyn. This one was on the house. Oh yeah. Free beer.
Bar going nuts to Enter Sandman.
I am not ok with the defense of Brett Gardner. #understatementsoftheyear
Looks like a helluva game between the Lakers and Rockets tonight. #waytoosoontotalkaboutnba
And the bar plays Empire State of Mind. 3 more outs. #hfs
Start spreading the news. New York Yankees 2009 World Series champs.
Bar has champagne for everybody. #classact
Next up at the bar: New York State of Mind. Seems about right.
Post World Series victory beers with @bkabak @joepawl @larry_koestler = awesome.Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )
Tale of the Tweets: World Series Game 2
Once again, here are all my tweets from World Series Game 2 at Yankee Stadium. Look, I do this for myself, but if you want to take a look, be my guest. Oh, in terms of the game, I'll put together a brief recap later, but you can also check out this post from Rebecca Glass at This Purist Bleeds Pinstripes. (in which I'm mentioned a few times, ahem). Bottom line: AJ dominated, Pedro was good but not good enough, Mariano was Mariano, Teixeira and Matsui homered, and the Yankees won 3-1. It was also my 8th win this season in a game following a loss.
Without further ado, I present the Tale of the Tweets: World Series Game 2.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your conductor. Let's go Yankees.
Paul O'Neill throws out first pitch. Charlie Hayes delivers game ball. Yankees pulling out all the stops.
I am sitting directly behind home plate 400 level 3rd row. I can call balls and strikes from here.
Crowd alternating between Let's Go Yankees, Derek Jeter and Who's Your Daddy chants.
Holy cow Ibanez. I did not know he had that range. And he probably didn't know either.
When was Pedro's last appearance at the (old) Stadium? Game 7 2003 ALCS?
Thanks all for the Pedro info. Now let's make him wish he'd never come back.
Mid-game change our luck tweet-up with @rebecca_glass and @bniche.
It worked!!!!!! Teixeira!!!!! Mid-game change our luck tweet-up with @rebecca_glass and @bniche.
Johnny Damon. Buzzkill.
Back at the seats for Matsui. It is all good. #yankees
Everybody in my section was on their feet for that last half inning. High fives all around. It was awesome. I love this place.
Oh man. Once again, we just went thermonuclear. (h/t @schwartzslaw)
I love Mariano Rivera. Can I just say that? Viva leverage! (@rebecca_glass)
Oh what a difference a day makes. Nobody leaving early.
On. Our. Feet.
The lucky shirt is dead. Long live the lucky shirt. Yeah baby. #yankees
Good things happen when I am at Game 2s started by AJ. Coincidence?
Yankee fan wearing a red jacket. Told him he needs to get a navy jacket for games. He laughed. And got the message.Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )

The oil recovery vessel with the built-in oil recovery system LORS on both sides (2 x 20 m3) is usually custom built and designed pending the requirements. In addition to oil recovery, the workboat can also be used as a multipurpose vessel for boom deployment, dispersant spraying, service tasks and as a safety patrol boat.
The vessel has hull mounted brush packs, which enables recovered oil to be delivered directly to the recovered oil storage tanks in the mid-ship without the need of using oil transfer pumps. Another advantage is that the brush conveyors are in direct connection with the oil on the water surface which notably improves the high viscous oil and
debris collection capabilities, but also collecting of light oils in Arctic conditions. Moreover, vessels are built to varying ice class demands and certified by the appropriate authorities in the region the vessel is used. Below is a brief extract of a general specification.

One Week To Go
One more week to go and the drama series that I kept on watching at night will end, the scene is becoming too intense now that Mr. Lae Jun So told Angela who really is, they have to be very extra careful. I am glad that this drama series would end even before the classes will start, otherwise I will get hooked of it and I can't be able to help my kids for their assignments and projects. So even though I would miss it a lot I have to say goodbye to Green Rose. This week will be packed with actions and a lot of answers when the father of Angela recovered from being a comatose for so many years; he is the only key so Jerome will be free.

iDeform is a collection of three deformers for Maya:
A displacement deformer with the ability to use locators or curves to define the area of influence as a dropoff control. The dropoff function is furthermore defined through a curve ramp in the attribute editor.
With the 2015 release Maya comes with it's own texture deformer and iDisplace almost becomes obsolete. However, iDisplace still features dropoff points and curves, which makes it the more versatile choice if better control is needed. On the other hand, the default Maya texture deformer supports vector displacement and better deformation speed.
A collision deformer which provides simple collision effects without the need for simulations. It has been inspired by the StretchMesh Deformer made by Kickstand. With their deformer being OpenSource since 2012 it has been a great learning resource for writing plug-ins for Maya.
iCollide offers simple ground collisions as well as with other mesh objects. The deformation can be shaped with a number of attributes and regular curve controls via the attribute editor. The deformation can be either flexible or even kept after the collision for permanent deformation effects. Color controls optionally apply vertex coloring based on the various deformation attributes.
This deformer allows to add skin sliding as well as skin attraction effects to a mesh. Skin sliding can be controlled through a control object and keeps the original mesh shape while deforming the vertices over the existing surface. Skin attraction can be useful for applying sticky effects to the mesh and can be used for lips of a character.
iSkinDeform is deformer-based version of the slide components tool if the Maya Bonus Tools and has also been influenced by the the reel at Chad Vernons site (which is a great source for getting started with the maya API).
Maya versions 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2016.5, 2017, 2018 on OS X, Windows 64 bit, Linux 64 bit.
Please see the general install guide.
After loading the plug-in the deformers are available through:
Modeling/Rigging/Animation Menu > iDeform
Select a mesh to use as a collider surface and your mesh to deform and create the deformer.
For simple ground collisions only the mesh to deform needs to be selected.
Select an object as a controller, such as a locator, and your mesh object to deform and create the deformer.
Only mesh objects are supported up to this point.
Even if it's possible to connect several objects as colliders performance may drop with lots of objects or detailed meshes. Also the quality of the deformation effect might be below expectations whenever some colliders affect the same region of the mesh.
For more complex collision effects other solutions might work better but please keep in mind that iCollide was built to serve as a quick collision deformation solution.
Collision objects have to be volume objects. Using a plane as a collision object does not work.
- Bulge: Controls the amount of bulging when the collision happens.
- Radius: Defines the distance the bulging effect affects the mesh from the point of collision.
- Offset: Offsets the collision surface.
- Use Ground: Adds a simple ground collision to the mesh. The ground collision effect is calculated before the collision with other collider objects.
- Ground Height: Defines the height of the virtual ground plane for the ground collision.
- Mode: With mode set to 'Relax' the mesh will go back to it's original shape after the collision. When set to 'Trace' the deformation will be kept even the surface doesn't collide anymore.
- Use Start Frame: Defines if the deformation is reset in 'Trace' mode when the current time equals the 'Start Frame' attribute.
- Start Frame: The frame on which the deformation is reset in 'Trace' mode.
- Bulge Shape: Defines the shape of the deformed mesh in the bulging areas.
- Collision Noise: Optionally adds a simple randomness to the deformed vertices of the mesh. Different 'Seed' values produce a different offset to the vertices.
- Use Colors: Applies vertex coloring to the vertices of the deformed mesh.
- Result: Defines if the mesh is deformed and colored or only gets the color applied based on the deformation attributes.
- Color Mode: Defines the source for the color effect. The options are 'Displacement', 'Bulge' and 'Radius'.
- Max Displacement: Defines the upper boundary when mapping the displacement to the color gradient. This controls how the color from the color ramp is distributed amongst the displaced vertices.
- Scale Factor: This is a multiplier for the for the 'Max Displacement' reference value. This can be useful when working with deformations at a small scale.
- Smooth: Averages the color of neighbouring vertices.
- Default Color: Defines the color for all vertices that are not affected be any collision.
- Color Gain: A multiplier for the color effect.
- Acceleration Range: Maximum distance for closest point calculations for collision points. This value should be kept as low as possible to allow for best performance. It should be increased if the needed collision distance is larger then this value and the affected vertices are moved to the origin.
This video demonstrates how to use vertex colors produced by the iCollide deformer as a masking effect for mesh displacement created by the iDisplace deformer.
- Texture: Links your file texture or procedural texture to the deformer.
- Use UV: Uses the UVs of the object when working with 2d texture nodes.
- Local: Useful when working with 3d texture nodes. Only the placement of the 3d texture is calculated and the position of the object is ignored.
- Scale: Define the amount of displacement applied to the geometry.
- Offset: Moves the affected vertices along their normals to produce an offset effect.
- Type: Defines the direction of the displacement. 'Normal' uses the vertex normals for the direction, 'Placement' uses the first placement node found in the connected shading graph to modify the 'Direction' vector, 'User' takes a connected matrix plugged into the directionMatrix attribute of the deformer to modify the 'Direction' vector.
- Use Colors (experimental): With this enabled the color of the texture is taken into account for modulating the normals and displacing the vertices. In the current version, there is no real use for this feature but implemented anyway.
- Use Dropoff: Enables the use of either dropoff locators or dropoff curves.
- Dropoff Type: Defines the type of dropoff, which can be 'Point' (dropoff locator), 'Curve' or 'Vertex Color' (connected iCollide mesh).
- Radius: The radius of influence when using the dropoff function.
- Color Set Name: The name of the color set to use from the connected iCollide mesh.
- Color Channel: Defines which color channel is used as the source for the vertex color based dropoff.
- Color Gain: Multiplier for the vertex colors.
- Color Gamma: Gamma adjustment for the vertex colors.
- Dropoff Curve: Defines the amount of displacement originating from the dropoff object within the dropoff 'Radius'.
- Curve Falloff: Defines the amount of displacement along the U value of the used curve when using dropoff curves or a locator chain.
- Strength: General multiplier for the deformation effect.
- Radius: Defines the distance to the control object in which vertices are effected by the deformer.
- Falloff: Controls the strength of the deformation within the deformer radius.
- Attractor: Let's you choose between the type of attractor. Choices are 'Point' (transforms) or 'Curve'.
- Pinch: Controls if the affected vertices are moved along their normals or towards the influence object.
- Negative Clamp: This option disables any movement of vertices opposite their normal direction. This feature is beta only as it can lead to unexpected results dependent on the affected area. Must only be used with care.
- Curve Falloff: Controls the amount of influence in U direction when using a curve as a control object.
- Sliding: Switches from the 'Attraction' mode of the deformer to 'Slide' mode.
- Method: Defines how the position of the moved vertices is calculated. 'Raycast' is more accurate but can lead to more overlapping effects when using more extreme positions of the influence object, 'ClosestPoint' has less overlapping effects but can be less accurate.

Blech. Erp. Hurl.
I'm just praying that Audrey doesn't catch this. We are usually pretty good about staggering our illnesses, so I've never had to clean up her puke while puking myself. But there's a first time for everything. She doesn't understand so she keeps hanging all over me and loving me up as usual, and I'm trying to tell her that I don't want her to catch my flu...plus it really doesn't feel good to have her wrapped around my neck right now.
I have a weekly visual schedule for her, and in my stupor I'd forgotten to change it for this week so it still showed that she had Monday off. After spending all day hoping and praying that Audrey didn't catch this so that she could go to school today, I had to talk her down from the ledge when she realized that today wasn't a holiday after all. Audrey is the only person in the world that would actually choose to be with me today.

I hope you feel better soon! I'm glad the people you were hallucinating didn't listen to you! Hang in there!
I hope I can't catch your illness by commenting on this post. Is that what they mean by "computer virus"? Oh, yeah, hope you feel better soon.ReplyDelete
What are you doing blogging!? Get some rest Lynn!! Feel better :)ReplyDelete
oh that blows. something similar is going around these parts. i hope you get well very soon and audrey escapes this yuckiness.ReplyDelete
Oh dear... hope you feel better soon. xx JazzyReplyDelete
Feel better!!!! :(ReplyDelete
Ooh, feel better soon! And keep your germs contained to your own computer!ReplyDelete
Not fun or fair.ReplyDelete
When I'm that sick I don't even let the kids in my room. Mom's not home. Sitters or other parental unit has to take over. Of course when I'm well again the house is unrecognizable, but at least I got some sleep and to watch a whole season of Dexter with out a child walking in the room and being scarred for life after seeing Dex slicing another one up.
Feel better!!!!!!
Oo. Get well *very* soon.ReplyDelete
Oh. No. Hope you recover quickly and that you keep those germs to yourself. Having a sick kid is definitely worse than being sick yourself.ReplyDelete
Please take care of yourself. Hope you feel better soon.ReplyDelete
I hope your health returns soon.ReplyDelete

Oh no, feel better soon! I hope Audrey doesn't catch it, or at least that she has the good timing to get it after you are well.ReplyDelete
Okay, I tried to do this from my phone yesterday. You can see that didn't work out too well. Yeah, I do not heart Don Draper either. What a prig. You know he only dropped Dr. What's Her Name because she knew his secrets. Foolish man - does he know nothing of a woman's scorn? That must have been something watching that cluster eff unfold through the fog of the flu! And dude, totally give you props for blogging through the flu, by the way. Now that's dedication. Seriously, I hope you get to feeling better soon and that Audrey doesn't get the crud.ReplyDelete
We've got the opposite issue here; Boo is hacking up a lung and the husband and I are trying very hard not to catch whatever he's got. Difficult to keep germs in their original victim when kids are hanging all over you, I admit. My hands are starting to peel from the number of times I've washed them.ReplyDelete
Hope the hurling stops soon, or alternatively I hope you can convince Draper to put you out of your misery. Good luck with that: no one's ever been kind enough to end me when GI bugs make me wish for death...you just can't find good help these days.
Did you make your visual schedule? I thought about starting one of those for my son, to help him start to understand the concept of time.ReplyDelete
Thanks for all the good wishes! I'm still pretty down and out, but thankfully Audrey hasn't caught this yet.ReplyDelete
@Statia: I did make my own visual schedule. Ours is for a week at a time, and there is a dry erase board version that is sold at some Targets and office supply stores that shows Mon through Sun on it (it's a long skinny rectangular board) and then a stuck velcro on it and laminated my own icons...either pictures of the therapists or of her school, and some PECS symbols for one-off things like parties, dentist, doctor, haircuts, piano, etc.
i am triple hoping she doesn't get what you do, but good lord it's hard to stagger the cycles of those things. best wishes for a rapid recovery! and, i just heard my audrey swearing - gotta go push the undo button that one.ReplyDelete
Feel better darlingReplyDelete
yo are funny even when sick
they way our kids love us - is just AWESOME - being in the center of of that 1000 watt spotlight
puking is the f**king worst.ReplyDelete

Market crowd stands between medical group and the injured
The group of doctors, emergency room nurses and others needed to get across the bridge at the Dominican border quickly Monday. They were on a bus, trying to get to a small plane that would fly them to the Haitian city of Jacmel.
But it was market day at the border, and that meant thousands of people sweating in the bright sun, arguing over the price of a sack of macaroni, carrying chairs on their heads, flirting, buying diapers. People banged on the bus as it slugged along or tapped on the windows to sell fruit ices when it stopped. The bus inched along, stopped by people carrying 50-pound sacks of sugar on their heads, or plastic bags stuffed with hundreds of sausages, or wheelbarrows full of oranges.
"This is chaos," said Suzie Miller, an emergency doctor from Inova Fairfax Hospital in Virginia.
No one knew what to do, and no one could get through to anyone on a cellphone. Most of them had already given up their passports to a longtime Haiti relief worker, Neil Van Dine, who was now in another vehicle.
They waited, watching the market throng around the bus, counting the minutes before they would have missed their chance at the plane to Jacmel. A worker from the group coordinating the trip, the Community Coalition for Haiti, was waiting on the other side of the narrow bridge, ready to race them along rough dirt roads through the mountains to the grass airstrip.
Minutes stretched into more than an hour.
But no one much liked the idea of walking across the teeming, narrow bridge into Haiti loaded with medical supplies, luggage and lots of cash.
And no passports.
The night before, Van Dine had warned of challenges: "This is going to be difficult. Because you're trying to go right into it. Right into the chaos."

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of E Commerce China Dangdang Inc (NYSE:DANG) were surging for the second straight day today, gaining as much as 14% following Thursday's blowout earnings report.
So what: Investors apparently couldn't get enough of the Chinese online retailer yesterday as the stock soared throughout Thursday's session, and immediately jumped out to double-digit gains today. In its earnings report, Dangdang posted a surprise profit of $0.07 a share on a expectations of a $0.04 loss, while revenues increased 22.1% to $325.7 million, better than expectations of $317.7 million.
Now what: There's clearly a lot of potential in online retail in a fast-growing economy with more than 1 billion consumers, as demonstrated by the explosive growth of stocks like Dangdang and Vipshop Holdings. Even at home, share of flash-sale retailer Zulily jumped more than 50% this week on its own blockbuster earnings. Like Amazon.com, Dangdang has transformed itself from an online bookstore to an all-in-one retailer, a transition that seems to be paying off based on this latest report. For 2014, analysts had been expecting a $0.06-per-share loss, but I'd expect those numbers to get a solid bump given this report and the company's upside first-quarter guidance of 30% revenue growth.

In most discussions I've seen of deep learning, and certainly most of the models demonstrated, there is no discussion of temporal sequence modeling. I was curious where the state of the art was for this task, and thought to compare with some of my own intuitions about sequence modeling.
As a first pass, I found a handful of papers that discuss using stacked Restricted Boltzmann Machines in various configurations to achieve temporal learning – they are "Robust Generation of Dynamical Patterns in Human Motion by a Deep Belief Nets", "Temporal Convolution Machines for Sequence Learning", and "Sequential Deep Belief Networks". The last of these three lays out their approach nicely in one sentence: "An L-layer SDBN is formed by stacking multiple layers of SRBMs." It is, in essence, the stacking game continued.
While the approaches described in the three papers above would seem to yield decent results, I often wonder about extendability and scalability. RBMs / DBNs have lovely analytical properties, and cleverly get around intractable subproblems with use of sampling schemes, but their topology is nonetheless locked in all setups I've seen. This leaves no room for simulated neurogenesis.
Why would simulated neurogenesis be important? Moving the synapse weights around in a fixed topology yields nice results, but there may situations where we would want the topology to grow as needed – namely, if the network did not have a representation for a given pattern, it could create one. This assumes that we are ok with being slightly inefficient in terms of ensuring that the representation space is adequately filled before we generate new neurons. The tradeoff is a greater amount of space in memory.
Lately I've been working on these types of networks, and it is most certainly difficult to do. First you have the basic foundation of any neural network – learning spatial patterns. That part is relatively easy: you can quickly build something to learns to model spatial patterns and produce labels for them.
The next step is creating the dynamics that model temporal sequences. For example, a sequence of words: if I say "four score and-", many of you will instantly think "seven years ago". This is a sequence. The spatial patterns are the specific combinations of letters to form words, and the temporal pattern is sequence of those words. We learn this kind of thing with relative ease, but for machines this is a huge task.
Unsurprisingly, it is in this step that things get complicated. The noted Deep Learning approach is to specify a given time depth. In one paper T=3, meaning it can model sequences 3 time steps deep – in our example, up to 2 words in advance. When the network receives "four score and", if it knows the sequence in question then it is thinking of "seven years". When it gets to "seven", it is thinking "years ago".
Note that in one of the papers above, they use a different subnetwork entirely to model temporal constraints. Again, while this is nice from an analytical point of view, it likely has little to do with the way the brain works. The brain is essentially a hundred billion cells who knows nothing but how to behave in response to electrical and chemical signals. Their emergent behavior gives rise to your consciousness. The brain, at least as far as anybody can tell, does not have a "temporal network". Temporal information is learned as a natural consequence of the dynamics of the vast network of cells. Somehow, we need to figure out a way to model temporal information inline with the spatial information, and make it all fit together nicely.
That said, the approach I've come to borrows a bit from Deep Learning, a little bit from Jeff Hawkins' and Dileep George's work on spatiotemporal modeling, and a little from complex systems in general. I've been searching for the core information overlap between different approaches, and have found some commonalities. From that, I've come to some notes of practice.
First, it almost always becomes necessary to sacrifice analytical elegance for emergent behavior. In many ways, emergent behavior is innately chaotic, and therefore difficult to model mathematically. Stochastic methods yield some insight, but there are higher-level states of emergence that may not be obvious from analysis of a single equation or definition of a system. In this case, it is simpler in practice to use heuristic methods to find emergent complexity, and attempt to characterize it as it is discovered, rather than attempt to discover all possible states from the definition of the system. A characteristic of chaotic systems is that you have to actually advance/evolve them in order to derive their behavior, as opposed to knowing in advance via analytical methods.
Second, and further emphasizing the use of heuristic methods, tuning the model with genetic algorithms tends to yield better results than attempting to solve for optimal parameters explicitly. Perhaps this is merely a difference in style, and if I'd spent more time studying complex systems I might know of better ways to do this, but at my current level of understanding a simple genetic algorithm that swarms over parameter configurations yields better results than attempting to understand what the "perfect network" might look like. There is a philosophical difference in that with this method you're using the machine to understand the machine, in some sense surrendering control and rendering of insights to the machine itself. Genetic algorithms may be able to find subtleties that my slightly-more-evolved-ape-brain will miss or otherwise fail to conceptualize merely from the definition of the system and associated intuitions.
Deep Learning is advancing quickly, and while it offers some interesting food for thought when attempting to solve temporal modeling problems, I am not yet sold on the notion that it is the final answer to this more general problem. Choices of representation and methods of optimization may be trivial in some cases, but when they differ greatly from the norm they may yield some advantage. Not only that, but sticking closer to the way the brain represents information has done nothing but improve the performance and capabilities of the resulting systems. The path I'm on may all come to nothing, or it may shine light on some new ways to think about temporal modeling problems.
A closing note: A whitepaper describing my work is underway, so you can stare in awe at some formidable-looking equations and cryptic diagrams. I've been several years down this path now, and it's high time to encapsulate all of the work done in a comprehensive overview.

From its inception, the iPad has been touted as a media consumer's appliance. It is largely known for its flawless image rendering, video playback and vast storage space. Nonetheless, the iPad's purpose doesn't start and end on entertainment and leisure alone. It is also purposeful for business-savvy users who would like to experience Apple's newest addition to its roster of technologically advanced products.
Apple isn't entirely detached from Microsoft-based productivity programs; as a matter of fact, the iPad has built-in support for Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 and 2007. The manufacturer understands the proliferation of Microsoft's Business Email service and would not let their users be left behind in business if they select to go with an iPad.
The Microsoft Exchange support will allow push email service and will be made obtainable to the user's calendar events and contacts' information stored on their Microsoft profile. It is also possible to manage particular calendar details, search global address lists and inbox messages through this enhanced software feature.
Security is of utmost importance on an iPad; at the owner's preference, multiple complex passwords can be assigned to make sure that confidential info remain inaccessible to unauthorized persons. Information exchanged over-the-air or via the Web could be encrypted to ensure security. Additionally, corporate communication over-the-air is highly protected by a certificate-based authentication procedure via Trade and VPN. Even an unfortunate event for example loss or theft of the iPad won't leave important data vulnerable because information on it could be securely deleted via a remote command.
Specialized apps such as company metrics tracker, proposal reviewer, travel organizer, and flight tracker have been developed with the iPad's business users in mind. A lot like the enterprise edition of the BlackBerry RIM, Apple also hosts the iPhone Developer Enterprise Program. The distinction of the iPhone Developer Enterprise from the Blackberry RIM is that the Apple-supported initiative will enable businesses to produce their very own specialized apps. Their extremely own apps will probably be shared to their employees and will probably be deemed proprietary by the client business.
Moreover, iPad profiles can be effortlessly configured for companies. Businesses can set up their own profiles, complete with details for example VPN, e-mail, wireless network, and password and share it with colleagues on the iPad via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or the Internet. Most importantly, iPad supports iWork, Apple's office productivity suite of apps that enables the user to create and browse documents, spreadsheets and presentations. These apps have been redesigned to complement the iPad's multi-touch system.
Keynote slides can be presented, produced, and enhanced via the touchscreen device. iWork's mobile versions of Numbers and Pages may also be managed by tapping elements on the multi-touch screen. These documents can be shared in different ways; for instance, a VGA adapter can be used to connect the iPad to a projector to permit larger displays for a roomful of audience. Microsoft documents may also be imported into the iPad. Presentations, spreadsheets and text paperwork can be shared on a wider scale by uploading to iWork.com where the public can view these files.

Miami Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin accepted responsibility on Thursday for causing a distraction in the Dolphins' locker room.
Miami Dolphins coach Joe Philbin said Thursday that he accepted responsibility for causing a distraction in the team's locker room by not yet naming Ryan Tannehill the starting quarterback for Sunday, according to NFL.com.
Philbin has remained noncommittal about saying whether Tannehill would start against the Raiders in London. On Wednesday, Tannehill announced himself as the starter. The quarterback said Philbin's approach has caused a distraction in the locker room.
• BANKS: Tannehill's future uncertain heading into London road trip
"One of the functions of the head coach is to create an atmosphere free from distractions and, to the degree that I contributed to any of those distractions, intended or not, it doesn't really matter," Philbin said. "That falls on me. It's my responsibility. Certainly, I accept that responsibility as the head coach. Really that's all I have to say on that."
According to a report by the Miami Herald, Philbin told players in a team meeting on Thursday morning that he regretted causing a distraction and said a similar situation wouldn't happen again.
Through three games this season, Tannehill has four touchdowns and two interceptions across 624 yards. His backup is Matt Moore, who appeared in one game last season.

Critic Reviews for The Night Listener
All Critics (135) | Top Critics (35) | Fresh (54) | Rotten (81) | DVD (7)
This thriller about books, belief and betrayal covers topical terrain -- JT LeRoy and James Frey, anyone? -- but itself proves unbelievable.
The plot dawdles along, intrigue gives way to risible melodrama, and [director] Patrick Stettner fails to get to grips with the issues.
The pacing and staging of the later scenes could use a little more electricity and momentum, and a little less restraint. Yet The Night Listener keeps you watching. And listening.
A quietly disturbing and effectively haunting little gem.
Williams delivers a solid, twinkle-free (though closed-off) performance, but the film as a whole can't decide what it wants to be.
The movie might make for a good book, but it's too awkward and lacks the necessary action for a film. And Williams' rather sluggish approach doesn't help much. Eventually, we just aren't interested in tagging along with him.
Audience Reviews for The Night Listener
A creepy and unsettling film. Robin Williams' performance was excellently suited to the character in this suspense film. I only wish we could have seen more of Sandra Oh.

The concept is good, but there's nothing beyond that here. Direction, acting, screenplay, background score: everything seemed too phony and quite ineffective here. There are too many inconsistencies in the movie and I couldn't help feeling distracted and, at times, bored. If you're suffering from insomnia, The Night Listener might be of some use to you.
Super Reviewer
Not very good at all. Very slow film with very little happening in it all based around one plot idea. Based on true events, however at 76 mins long there just isn't enough to interest you.

What is a book trailer you may ask? Well, you've all watched a bazillion (yes, that is a highly technical term) movie trailers - intriguing ads intended to pique your interest so you will watch the film. A book trailer has the same purpose - basically, it is an ad for your novel, with the goal of making everyone who watches it run right out to buy your book.
Creating a book trailer will be one of the most enjoyable aspects of your marketing experience. I had a lot of fun creating mine.
There are several aspects to consider when creating a book trailer. There are two basic styles that I have seen. There is the documentary approach, where the author parks themself in front of a picturesque (or not-so-picturesque) scene and talks about what a great book they've written and why you should read it. The style I prefer is more of a movie style. These show the story happening in pictures or video-clips with either readable words or a voice-over of a short, intriguing synopsis. I've also seen a combination of these two styles where the author speaks the synopsis.
Before you launch into creating your trailer you need to decide on the style you like. So, first, go to YouTube and search for the term 'book trailer'. Watch a few and get a feel for the type that intrigues you. You can also find several Christian ones on OakTara's website. I personally find an author yammering on in front of his bookcase about what a great book he's written pretty boring. But, that may be just the kind that gets your attention and makes you want to pick up the book.
Keep costs in mind as you peruse the trailers - cost in time as well as money. When I started to create the book trailer for my first book, Rocky Mountain Oasis, I wanted to use video clips. This book is a historical romance, so I was looking for clips of cowboys and western themes. I found some and was very excited until I saw the cost! One short 20-30 second clip ranged from $1000.00 to $5000.00! That's quite a lot of mulla when you consider that you will need several clips to make a movie. Now, if you have your own video camera you can create your own clips. But consider the time it will take, not to mention finding 'actors' to model for you etc. For this reason I chose to use still pictures. We'll talk more about where to find them later. Once you've decided what style of book trailer you want to create, you are ready for the next steps.
I am going to talk specifically about how to create the movie-type book trailer using still pictures. But even if you want to create a different style, I'm sure you will be able to glean some tips from the next several posts. So I hope you will tune in next time to learn more.

Early results from Honduras showed the leftist candidate leading the presidential race, and Cuban President Raul Castro announced that he will step down in February. RDW covered the EU vote on the use of glyphosate in depth- Germany has traditionally abstained from the vote because so many citizens oppose the pesticide used in Roundup. But in a surprise move this week the German representatives voted in favor of a five year license for its use in the EU. French President Macron said that his country will continue its ban on the weedkiller associated with cancer and environmental damage by the WHO. From SPAIN- Alison Hughes begins with a report on an editorial in a Barcelona newspaper- the writer is not a fan of the separatist movement in Catalonia, but points out that now exiled President Puigdemont was seeking international mediation at the end of the campaign- and while 3 respected leaders in Europe offered to step in, but were refused by PM Rajoy and the Spanish king. Then some stories about the rise of the ultra right in Spain, which has been stimulated by the separatist movement leading to violence and threats of violence against politicians, who find themselves unprotected by police. Top defense officials from 40 Muslim nations met in Saudi Arabia to develop the Islamic Military Counter-Terrorism Alliance, or the so-called the Sunni Muslim NATO. The recent massacre of 300 in Egypt is strengthening the alliance, which offers shared resources to combat militants. Notably Iraq, Iran, and Syria, as non-Sunni nations, are not part of this coalition. From JAPAN- First a report on the ballistic missile fired by North Korea this week which is possibly capable of reaching North America. Japanese PM Abe and Trump spoke and agreed to raise the pressure on North Korea. The UN Conference on Nuclear Disarmament opened in Hiroshima, with 12 nations attending- a major goal is to stop the current arms race. This report is followed by an Insight on the conference. There is an article about the Shortwave Report by Cassandra Roos on line -http://www.campusprogress.org/soundvision/780/big-stories-shortwaves I was interviewed for an informative weekly radio show Mediageek, available at http://www.mediageek.net/sound/2006/mg100606-64k.mp3 All that plus times and frequencies for listening at home. It's free to rebroadcast, please notify me if you're airing it and haven't notified me in the last month, please mention the website if you only air a portion. If you just want to listen and have a slow connection, try the streaming version- lower sound quality but good enough and way easier if you don't have a high-speed internet connection. If streaming is a problem because of your slow connection, download the smaller file- it takes 20 minutes or less, and will play swell in any mp3 player application (RealPlayer, Winamp, Quicktime, iTunes, etc) you have on your computer.

This program will be aired on Sunday afternoon at 4pm (PST) on KZYX/Z Philo CA, you might be able to stream via < http://www.kzyx.org > I hope you'll listen and air this if you're connected with a radio station.

I used this free pattern from Keyka Lou - the Dumpling Zip Pouch.
Isn't it cute?! It's relatively easy, and I can definitely see more of these in my future.
I'm not 100% sure how true to size it is compared to the pattern because we have no ink in our printer, so I traced the pattern from my netbook screen. I love that there is only one pattern piece, and only four pieces to cut out (including the interfacing)! If you used a decor weight fabric, you could probably skip a piece of interfacing.
Until next time...

Thiruvananthapuram, May 20 (PTI) Sending a strong message against corruption, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan today said wrong doers will not have political guardians in LDF rule. "There is no corruption charge against the government. We have been able to give a corruption free governance during the past one year," he told reporters here, listing out his governments achievements. Governments effort was to transform the state into a corruption free one, he said. When it was pointed out that probe into corruption cases like bar bribery and solar scams seemed to be limping along, Vijayan saidhis government would not compromise on corruption cases of the previous UDF regime. "However, Government cannot intervene in the probe of the investigation agencies," he said. Vijayan claimed that the CPI(M) led LDF government had succeeded in ushering in a healthy political culture by cleansing the system left by the previous UDF government, which saw the emergence of a decaying political culture. "They clung to power with greed", he said adding wrong doers will not have political guardians any more. "A cleansing of political culture took place during the one year LDF rule," Vijayan said, adding his governments effort was to bring development and peace back to the state. The Chief Minister said there was no dearth of controversies in the state."But this government will not go behind controversies. We will implement what is good for the people and no controversy will stand as impediment, he added. Vijayan said there has been a gradual decrease in opposition to development of National Highways and laying of GAIL pipeline project and people had started cooperate Government was prepared to give good compensation to those who would lose their land, he said. On the states Kerala Bank proposal, he said it would become a reality soon. On inauguration of Kochi Metro,he said the state was keen that the Prime Minister inaugurate the prestigious project. "We had written to the Prime Ministers Office in April, seeking his convenience to inaugurate the project.Government is in touch with PMO and we are hopeful that the PM will inaugurate it, he said. Asked if private investments have come into the state, the Chief Minister said some talks had been held in this regard, especially in the IT sector. He described as unfortunate, the continuing standoff between the media and lawyers in Kerala. "This situation should not continue. Both groups should hold discussions and sort it out," he said.

1990 GMC Sierra 1500 C1500 Standard Cab SBReview
This Is A Great Work Truck. — With over 230,000 miles and still going strong, this GMC Sierra is a typical work truck. The interior has been refurbished, but the exterior has a strong body with minor dents. It does need a new paint job, and some tires. However it a classic truck that may last a long time on the road.
Primary Use: Commuting to work
Pros: Runs great and great on gas.
Cons: Body needs work

1990 GMC Sierra 1500 C1500 Standard Cab LBReview
Amazing — This truck is in amazing condition. It is the best vehicle I have owned. It has a 305 engine in it and it is rear wheel drive. It loves to spin out a lot because there is no weight in the back of the truck and it is rear wheel drive. It is a load of fun to drive.
Pros: great condition interior and exterior
Cons: needs some body work

1990 GMC Sierra 1500 K1500 4WD Standard Cab SBReview
Reliable 4x4 — Well lets see. . . the transfer case doesn't work, therefor no 4x4, the engine needs a lot of work, I am eventually getting new tires, the old ones are in great shape but I want bigger, the exhaust sucks, and yeah. . . that's about it.
Pros: It's a GMC 4x4 with monster tires and dual exhaust
Cons: The 4x4 doesn't work, and the right exhaust hangs lower than the left, and the headers are loose, AND. . . it's a very smokey truck when you start it, I can't remember what it is that's wrong.
