About Broken Hill
Discover a lost world
Broken Hill truly is a living museum. Born in the 1880s, this world-renowned mining city is bursting with nationally significant heritage and authentic experiences, and boasts a reputation pressure-cooked through decades of hardship in the harsh Australian desert. It is this extreme landscape that lies at the core of Broken Hill's unique outback culture, with a stubborn refusal to lay down to nature becoming the bedrock of the Broken Hill psyche.
Broken Hill's colossal history spans the Great War, the unionist movement, artistic endeavours and the silver screen. Today, the town is a living, breathing time-capsule; an artefact that survives in the desert and waits to be rediscovered.

Getting Here
Discovering a lost world in Broken Hill may be not be as hard as you first thought. Broken Hill lies in the centre of a vast yet accessible outback region and the city is a major hub for transport via rail, road and air. For starters, the nostalgia of the Great Australian Road Trip can be easily resurrected on a trip to Broken Hill. Load up the car with friends, family and luggage; stack the iPod with your favourite road trip tunes; and travel on sealed roads all the way from any capital city. The journey will be as rewarding as the destination as you create new memories along the great open road. Remember to perfect the famous outback wave to passing drivers. There are many versions, so take your pick. Some drivers favour a wave of the hand, others like raising a lazy finger or two. Some of the most enthusiastic travellers say 'g'day' with a lift of their bush hats. It's highly important though, to pack your maps (just in case!), and check the road conditions before you start your journey. BY CAR There are many rewarding alternative journeys to the direct routes between the Broken Hill region and major Australian cities. Each offers unique sights and experiences. Coming from Melbourne The most direct way to reach Broken Hill from Melbourne is to head past Bendigo on the Calder Freeway (A79) to Mildura, then continue to Wentworth and on to Broken Hill via the Silver City Highway (79). For an alternative trip home, head south east out of Broken Hill to Menindee. From Menindee, follow the last leg of the Darling River Run through Pooncarie to Wentworth. This is 123km of unsealed road, so check local road conditions here. Turn off at Pooncarie to Mungo National Park and the Willandra Lakes Region World Heritage Area, then continue 110km south west to Mildura. From here, you can either follow the Murray River along the Murray Valley Highway (B400) via Swan Hill and Echuca, or head down the Calder Highway (A79) to Ouyen and return to Melbourne via Ballarat or Bendigo. Coming from Sydney Head out of Sydney to Bathurst on the Mitchell Highway (32) through Dubbo to Cobar, then turn onto the Barrier Hwy (32) and continue to Broken Hill. On your the return, head north from Broken Hill to the rugged Mutawintji National Park. From here, head north-east to the opal mining town of White Cliffs, then a further 98km south to the historic town of Wilcannia. At Wilcannia, you can access the Barrier Highway (32). Coming from Adelaide Leave Adelaide on the Barrier Highway (32) and travel north towards Burra. Break up your journey with a stop at Peterborough, then continue 283km north east along the Barrier Highway to Broken Hill. On the way home, head from Broken Hill to Menindee and follow the last leg of the Darling River Run through Pooncarie to Wentworth. This road is unsealed so check local road conditions here. Turn off at Pooncarie to Mungo National Park, then once you are back in Mildura, connect with the Sturt Highway (A20) for your return to Adelaide. Coming from Brisbane Take the Warrego Highway (A2) to Toowoomba, then the Gore Highway (A39) to Goondiwindi and on to Moree via the Newell Highway (A39). Take the Gwydir Highway (38) to Walgett and turn onto the Bourke-Brewarrina Road. From Bourke, pick up the Darling River Run through Louth and Tilpa to Wilcannia, then drive the final 200km through to Broken Hill. As an alternative route home, head north from Broken Hill on the Silver City Highway through Packsaddle and Milparinka, then head 330km up to Tibooburra, Sturt National Park and Cameron Corner. Return to Brisbane from Tibooburra by heading east to Bourke and retracing your outbound journey in reverse. BY AIR For the fast way in and out, Regional Express Airlines fly direct every day to and from Adelaide, Sydney and Melbourne (via Mildura). Qantas, Jetstar and Virgin Australia also connect daily to Mildura. Broken Hill services all flights through its airport in south Broken Hill, a modern and comfortable Remember to book early, flights often book out quickly! BY RAIL The Indian Pacific runs directly to Broken Hill from Sydney and Adelaide once or twice a week, depending on the season. NSW TrainLink runs weekly direct services to Broken Hill from Sydney on the 'Outback Explorer'. Additionally, NSW TrainLink runs a daily service that includes train travel between Sydney and Dubbo and bus travel between Dubbo and Broken Hill. Find out about timetables, fares and online bookings or call 13 22 32. BY BUS Many coach companies visit the area as part of itineraries where Broken Hill is usually a one to three night destination.

Recently, I spent a weekend living an absolute dream in the Whitsunday Islands. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this little slice of heaven, it's a cluster of islands off the northern coast of Queensland, Australia. I've been lucky enough to visit twice during my time down under, and I can't even begin to explain the beauty that waits there.
Hamilton Island
My first visit to the Whitsundays area was a week on Hamilton Island. I stayed in the Frangipani apartments with my parents. The lodging was beautiful, with a breathtaking view of the ocean and some local friends to eat breakfast with (on the left: a cockatoo on our deck, on the right: a wallaby in our backyard).
The island itself is astoundingly beautiful. The water is crystal clear and warm. There's endless options for daytime activities, including a dive at the Great Barrier Reef and jet skiing. We opted for a cruise out to Whitehaven Beach (which was recently ranked the #5 beach in the world by TripAdvisor) and a sunset cruise around the island. Both were well worth the money.
Wings 3
This past weekend I flew out to Prosperpine airport and stayed a night in Airlie Beach (also beautiful) before taking off on the Wings 3 catamaran weekend expedition along with 26 other people. We left Airlie Beach and sailed off to a port near Hayman Island, and then around to Manta Ray Bay off of Hook Island. There, I scuba dived for the first time. It was incredible! The crew were all so much fun and so helpful, I felt like I'd been doing it for years. Being in the water on the outer Great Barrier Reef was like swimming in an aquarium. If you're not up for scuba diving, the snorkeling is amazing, too. We took off to Whitehaven Beach, docking at Tongue Bay and hiked over to the lookout. Pictures cannot possibly do it justice, but here it is!
I would HIGHLY recommend either trip. The Wings 3 weekend was definitely the cheaper option, but if you're willing to splurge a bit, they were both surreal vacations and some of the best days of my life.

After having been mis sold payment protection insurance the first question on anyone's mind is always, "How do I claim back payment protection insurance?" There are actually a few ways you could go about it but, as with anything else in life, there is an easy way and a difficult way. To put it bluntly, while you could file a PPI claim on your own, there are a lot of things to consider and you would need to be armed with all of the latest rules and regulations in regards to the filing of mis sold PPI.
In answer to the question, "How do I claim back payment protection?" you would first need to understand that you would be at a definite disadvantage. First of all you need to understand what mis sold PPI is all about and how to defend yourself against it. If you have been mis sold payment protection cover then you need to be able to explain exactly how that happened. Was it added to your policy without your knowledge? Did the lender tell you that you would not qualify for a loan without it? Were you over the age of 65, self employed, unemployed or a temporary or contract worker at the time it was sold to you? Those are just a few of the ways in which you could declare PPI to have been mis sold and there are actually several more reasons you could cite.
"How do I claim back payment protection insurance?" can't be answered unless you know how much money you have actually spent in mis sold PPI. If you took out a loan then you probably paid a onetime premium that was added to your loan at closing. From that point forward you were paying some toward that amount as well as interest that was assessed. Bear in mind here that at the beginning of the loan most money you pay is interest and very little is toward the unpaid balance (principal). Your lender is making a great deal of money on the mis sale of PPI and will be reluctant to pay it back if at all possible. For this reason, and this reason alone, many consumers choose to file through a third party with experience in filing PPI claims.
Belmont Thornton, Belmont Thornton has helped thousands of UK consumers to claim back mis sold PPI. From the moment you call with your question "How do I claim back payment protection?" the claims team will be there with you every step of the way. They will explain what you need to know, ask pertinent questions to file your claim on your behalf and then stay with the claim until it is resolved. Whether they are able to get a settlement directly from the lender or whether they need to file an appeal for you, you can be sure that the claims team will be diligently working on your behalf and that alone should provide the peace of mind you need when filing a PPI claim. "How do I claim back payment protection insurance?" Let the experienced claims team of Belmont Thornton, Belmont Thornton, do it for you!

Don't Be Ignorant, Hire An Immigrant!
Indeed, I have an acquaintance that is running for office, he is a Democrat, and recently he was talking to an individual at Starbucks who has a sticker on his car which reads; "live better, work union," and when I read that on his bumper I thought to myself that if everyone worked union, and everyone made more money, then there would be wage inflation, and everything that you see and buy would cost more. In this case your money would buy less, be worth less, and therefore everyone would be equally poor.In other words that sticker may get people to think that everyone should be paid more money, but the reality is people are only worth as much as they produce in the free-market when it comes to their labors, and if they cannot produce, or don't feel like it, then they are not worth the money they are paid in the first place. Now you can call me a right wing radical if you want, you can even assert that I am part of the Tea Party you wish, and while it is true that Friedrich Winslow Taylor was in my family tree and created the concept of piecemeal work and actually getting paid for what you're produce, it's not that I am against the American worker, it's just that I know what I see when I see it.There are far too many lazy Americans. Worse, some of my second-generation immigrant friends who still go by a salutation of a hyphenated-American are getting rather lazy themselves, but it's because we have taught them poor work ethic. This is unfortunate because our nation is declining in population and it is only the immigrants which are producing the next generation of workers. There is a theory that if a nation does not produce 2.2 offspring for every couple that the economy cannot grow, and this would assume that economic growth is good in the long term.There was an interesting piece in the AP recently, I found it on MSNBC titled; "Census shows record 1 in 3 US counties are dying," by a writer named By Hope Yen published on March 14, 2013. The article reiterated the challenges that many of the counties in the United States have more people dying, than are being born. Many large corporations have noted that they cannot hire the workers they need with the skills and education needed to run their companies.They have no choice but to hire an immigrant with those skills. Although many unions are against such things, they aren't stepping up to the plate to learn the skills, get themselves educated, and provide the productivity needed to move the ball down the field for higher profits and the growth of their companies. Oh, don't get me wrong there are training programs with unions for some things, but not for the higher-tech type jobs.So whose fault is that? One thing I would like to say here is that if you are a business person; "don't be ignorant hire an immigrant," as they are "often" smarter, and many of them are better educated than those in the United States, especially when it comes to the math and science, or computers and engineering.That is the cold hard reality. If you don't like it, then you need to work harder, stop demanding more, and put your walk where your talk is. Simply having a sticker on your car trying to politically promote what's best for you is not necessarily best for our country. Bad mouthing corporations, company executives, and everyone else will not change that fact.What I am saying is this; labor needs to wake up, get real, look at themselves in the mirror, and get with the program. We are only going to have a left-leaning socialist Democrat in the White House for a few more years. And I'd like to leave you with that thought.

Reports have it that in parts of Florida, the U.S. Postal Service is reneging on its annual effort to deliver toys to needy kids for Christmas which it does as part of the U.S. Marine Corps' Toys for Tots program.
That's because some officials say doing is too expensive in light of the USPS's dire financial picture. Indeed the USPS did lose a record $15.9 billion for the year ended Sept. 30 , compared to a net loss of $5.1 billion for the same period last year http://about.usps.com/news/national-releases/2012/pr12_131.htm
But should poor kids be made to suffer for bad things some grownups do?
According to the Tampa Bay Times http://www.tampabay.com/news/business/post-office-fails-to-deliver-for-toys-for-tots/1265789, local USPS officials stopped local letter carriers from collecting toys for needy children in the local area and publicizing these charitable deeds as they had been doing since anyone can remember.
If this is true, does the USPS do itself any favors by acting like Ebenezer Scrooge by depriving needy children of something that could make their lives a little less bleak while the worlds is reveling in Christmas and all the other holidays?
Indeed everybody often has warm feelings about the postal service this time of year.
Take the old time movie "Miracle on 34th Street" where one man saying he's Santa Claus gets all letters addressed to him delivered to Macy's department store in New York where's he working just before Christmas.
Or "Shop Around the Corner," where one store salesman uses the mail to correspond with a young woman he later meets and falls in love with just before Christmas.
Cheating poor and needy kids of Christmas toys would only create more ill will against the postal service at a time when it needs all the good press it can get.
Remember Congress is also supposed to be grappling with another potential round of postal reform legislation right now. Postal measures could conceivably be shunted aside amid Congress's obsession with the so-called fiscal cliff in which everybody's taxes would go up and government programs would be cut if nothing is done before the end of this month.
In such circumstances shouldn't the postal service be showing its warmer and fuzzier side?

Colourful Skeins
We had a huge skein-painting day last week. We're always so enchanted when the painted skeins are all done, dried, and twisted. They're so very lovely. Every time. They still need to be labelled, and many of them will go into knitting kits. They'll be available shortly, only at the Silk Weaving Studio, as soon as we can get all this stuff done!

Knit Swatches
The Sanjo Silk yarns always look lovely on the cones and in skeins. But fibre artists justifiably want to know what they look like when they're made into something. So we create handknitted swatches of most of our yarns just so people can touch them and see how gorgeous they look. Each one is handknitted, then blocked, and then it's photographed (for the Sanjo Silk website), and taken to the studio to display alongside the yarn.
Here you'll see a few really lovely yarns in action. Top left is a silk/alpaca; this is the closest thing we have to a "100-Mile Yarn". The alpaca is from Salt Spring Island, and the yarn is spun on Vancouver Island. Both of these places are within 25 miles of Vancouver.
Top right is Fluffy Dots. This yarn is gaining fame because of it's wonderful, quirky texture.
Lower left: Silk Gima, which is a flat yarn consisting of several finer, somewhat firm yarns loosely adhered. As you work with this yarn, the finer yarns sometimes separate, sometimes don't, giving it an intriguing look.
Bottom right: one of our favourites. It's a 15/2 tussah that we use in weaving all the time. It's stunning when it's machine knit. And here, you can see that it's also stunning handknit.

Knitters discover our Noil Fleck
Wind, wind, wind. We sold this yarn, 20-090, like crazy at Knit City. Frankly, this was a surprise. It's not a yarn we considered to be a knitting yarn. But it's superbly beautiful, a fact that knitters didn't ignore. They told us they would be knitting it into open, lacework overlayers. They told us they would be pairing it with mohair, noil and other yarns to create the perfect texture. They told us they would be looking and waiting to see what inspired them with such a yarn. So we've been spending some time winding skeins of this luscious yarn to replenish the empty space that it once occupied. We at Sanjo have always loved this yarn, so it's delightful to see that others love it too.

There's nothing quite as refreshing as a glass of cold water on a hot summer day. Have you ever thought about pouring a glass (or bottle) for your baby though? Whether breastfeeding or not, new moms may wonder if their baby is not properly hydrated. So if you're an expecting mom or currently breastfeeding your little one, we have the simple guidelines for when your baby should drink water.
Infants do not need to drink water for the first six months of life, regardless if they're drinking breast milk, formula, or a combination of the two. The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests not adding water to your baby's diet until solid foods become a mealtime staple. Healthy babies will receive enough fluids from breast milk or formula and do not need to drink water like adults do. If you live in an unusually hot climate or feel worried about your baby's health, consult your pediatrician for advice.
Breast milk provides all of your baby's essential vitamins and nutrients; it is the original "super food" and gives your little one a completely nutritious meal. Though there's no hard and fast set of rules, the AAP recommends not introducing solids until your baby is around six months old, so hold off on introducing water until that point as well. You can be confident that your breast milk is giving your baby the healthiest boost possible!

A Study
(Review of 4 tracks)
[Note from July 5, 2013: The following review is about a work which, at the publishing date of June 26, 2013, featured four tracks. The artist adds additional tracks every so often and asks not to review or judge these experiments. Obviously, I did just that before the plea appeared. I am still of the opinion that it is valuable to speak about the designedly peculiar appearance of A Study. My review covers the first four tracks and discounts all forthcoming ones that appeared after the publishing date. This does at least somewhat respect the artist's wish.]
A Study is an especially, eh, special artifact by the Japanese Glitch artist Koji Kihara, self-released in May 2013 and available to download for free at his Bandcamp page. My confusion is genuine, for if there is a release of 2013 that justifies and ridicules every effort of categorization and good-natured explications, it is A Study. A curious remark, for studies are generally open to scrutiny if they are publicly available. In Koji Kihara's case, something is different. Comprising of four tracks – two of them Glitch-heavy, the other couple purely acoustic –, Kihara does not give the slightest explanation for the EP's reason of existence. Only the album titles are a bit less opaque. Obviously, A Study collects Kihara's electro-acoustic experiments, but what he wants to achieve or accomplish with them remains unknown. The material, meanwhile, closely resembles the chiptune barbecue sessions of his fellow Japanese luminaries Computersoup who became well-known in Occidental areas of the world due to their collaboration with Jan Jelinek on the hyper-mellow yet piercingly iridescent Improvisations And Edits, Tokyo, 9/26/2001. Especially the first tune off A Study might scare 90% of the even most dedicated Gitch listeners away, but by all means, stay tuned and you will discover a few gems and hypnotizing layers. Since the offerings are clearly marked as selections of studies and experiments, the listener must not expect deep or profound sound architectures rather than eclectic vignettes and psychoacoustic virtues. The reigning minimalism is at times horrifying, but has won me over. After Kihara's debut Reprobate Space, I am glad to see him return in 2013 with new experiments. Let us see what can be distilled from the array of studies.
The opener is simply called Study:1, wisely camouflaging its fundament which consists of anything but a heavily bubbling caustic solution. An endless loop of hefty robotic bleeps akin to the futuristic viewpoints of the 60's sees various filters applied to its skeletal embodiment of retrogressive futurity. Surreptitious yet curiously silky acid prongs accentuate the ever-bustling bedlam, and if there had not already existed the aforementioned band Computersoup, such a twitchy turmoil would have spawned the term sooner or later. Vesiculating jitters accompany the rotor-like shrapnel which, by the time of their appearance, either find a hopelessly hypnotized listener or an aghast apparition of the former. The fourth and final layer that constitutes the infaust anticipation of purified melodies is actually a sweeping one with a legato complexion; slowly rising 8-bit basslines resemble the concept of elevators comprising only of ancient bits and bytes. When Study:1 ends after six minutes, it becomes clear that this brute hints at a horrific experiment gone wrong. As designedly glitchy and adamantly antediluvian this soundscape is, it creates a maelstrom of flashing lightning bolts and puts the listener to the test: capitulation or exaltation? A definite answer is superfluous, a remark regarding Koji Kihara's agenda more expedient: the worst is left behind and the best is yet to come, rarely has this been more applicable than in regard to this technocratic anacrusis.
Both Study:2 and Study:3 are actually the same track, but with different filters applied. Kihara fathoms out the most detailed and voluptuous connotation of the EP's title, for this kind of study is exuberantly long. Each track lasts more than ten minutes, and their simultaneity is so enormously congruent that the listener best enjoys the two tracks in tandem and never even dares to tear them apart. But even if one does listen to the duo in sequence, the mollifying languidness is soothing, but not necessarily the point of these two studies. Be that as it may, Study:2; Experimental Work Platform:Long comprises of an endless string of wonderful acoustic guitar loops of six seconds. The pure warmth and aqueous conspicuousness of this otherwise demure and well-groomed loop is enchanting, it is close to bonfire hippiedom, but distant enough to inject globs of positive melancholia through the fissured recesses. Study:2 is no Drone track at all, the guitar itself is clearly recognizable. This study's greatest appeal is also its biggest flaw: the six-second loop is repeated throughout the duration of almost eleven minutes, remains completely unchanged, with absolutely no filter ever applied. There is no twist. This is indeed a self-imposed study which does not allow any background noise or extrinsic factors to enter the scenery. The continuation of this formula is maintained in Study:3; Experimental Work Platform:Adjusted. The very same loop is repeated yet again, this time with an even greater watery aura. The guitar is not as crisp anymore since its afterglow is amplified and sustained, resulting in a positively diluted, dreamier aura. But again, the differences are minimal and totally negligible. If my math is correct, the listener has encountered the same loop of six seconds a whopping 215 times if he or she plays both studies in a row! Bedazzling.
The finale is another study in simplicity which is also mirrored in its title. Simply named Study:4, it propitiates the listener with the Glitch-focused characteristics of Study:1 by the means of aurally painting a similar but much silkier diorama of sparks and glints. Koji Kihara erects a wondrous chimescape supercharged with deliciously pristine bells and whistles. The different states of the bells and their frequency range is diverse and enthralling, ranging from deep and vibrant to the expected polar frostiness. While strictly loop-based, Study:4 time shifts, prolongs and delays the respective coruscating twinkles, allowing a trance-like state and varying transformations at the same, a concept all other studies lacked. There is even a cheeky occurrence of tone dialing, and as unnecessary and moss-grown it is today, the appearance is welcome and fits in the grand scheme of A Study with its purposefully antiquated segues. Another curious but eminently working addition is based on the scampering pattern of wooden splutters whose omnipresence is draped in the background and only prominently featured in the final minute when the gongs and bit-crushed vibes are gone. Like shuffling footsteps, they make the listener aware of the silence and blackness which finally reigns over Study:4 and ends this strange but devoted EP for good.
Right from the get-go, Koji Kihara makes clear that A Study is really just the thing its title so aptly describes. Lots of Ambient and Glitch artists would not even have cared (or dared?) to release a work in this form. Strangely enough in the given circumstance, A Study is a success texture-wise and provides quasi-zone out states in each and every of its vignettes, even the aggressively vesiculating Study:1 that is an ode to fans of those Glitch sloughs who would love to literally eat chips made of silicon in order to understand the innermost core of their tunes from within. I am not mocking these people, for I consider myself a follower of this movement, too. The real deal, so it seems, is the two-part track Experimental Work Platform with its two different flavors of the same guitar loop of six seconds. These versions can again be seen as somewhat of an affront, for the Japanese artist does not even alter a tiny bit and lets his arrangements start in medias res, with not one single instance of change, diversion or progression. Study:4 meanwhile offers the greatest variety of textures and movement, with glinting chimes, gongs, bells, whistles and vibes whose delicately streamlined physiognomy mediates between the Glitch genre and experimental Ambient music, whatever the latter helpless categorization might mean to each listener. A Study has only one big flaw: Kihara does neither reveal his endeavor nor the overarching goal of this release's existence. The reason of this study remains in the dark. It is not clear on which audio-related fields the artist wants to improve or what the ultimate aesthetic value might be. In this regard, A Study towers above the competition in that it remains obscure and distant despite its carved out title, escaping from the prerogative of interpretation without further explanation. Glitch fans should give it a figurative listen.

More than 1.000 people from over 300 households were evacuated in the last 24 hours as a result of the floods in Moldova. The rainfall has increased the water level in the Prut River, which divides Moldova by Romania. Three villages which are located across this river – Nemteni, Cotu Morii, and Macaresti were fully evacuated. The people will be hosted in the schools and kindergartens until the water will be gone.
Most of the houses affected by the floods have crumbled. The people lost most of their goods: food, clothes, furniture, documents, and the animals were drowned.
In Romania, the weather is being more severe and the situation is critical. The Danube River exceeded the water limit. According to the latest information available, more than 12.000 people were evacuated, 24 people died, over 5.000 households flooded, many of the houses crumbling. Some main roads are closed at the moment. A bigger quantity of heavy rain is expected to fall in the next 12 hours in 11 North and Northeastern counties of Romania.

Words by Evan Froiland
Madison rapper CRASHprez has been musically quiet for a good while now. He hasn't put out a song in 10 months. However, he's still been awfully loud on the Internet. Madison, WI and especially the University of Wisconsin-Madison has had major problems with race relations recently. This isn't a new trend, but it's escalated greatly as of late and inspired the campaign #THEREALUW. A simple Google search will allow you to read up, or you can head to CRASH's Twitter for his first person accounts.
The 22-year-old graduate of UW-Madison's First Wave Arts Program, also known as Michael Penn II, is a writer in many mediums: rap, freelancing, workshops, etc. Relevant to #THEREALUW, Penn penned a piece in early March for Tone Madison deploring The Frequency's decision to have a year-long ban on hip-hop shows (which has since been revoked). He's also written about less location-specific race issues, including a series dedicated to critically assessing white rappers' problematic-ness. Most notably, a Post Malone piece for Vinyl Me, Please caught the attention of White Iverson himself.
I tell you this all to give context for 'ILLEGAL', the single that CRASH dropped last night. This politically-charged record features the vocals of Patrice Rushie and was produced by drew_. CRASH uses an aggressive flow for an aggressive song about race issues, both locally and generally. His grimy inflection stops only to pay tribute to two that passed last year: Tony Robinson, an unarmed black teen killed by a Madison police officer and Andrew Thomas, fellow First Wave student and dear friend.
Post Malone gets a line on this song. So does F.Stokes, a rapper who grew up in Madison. Penn said that there are several reasons why, but one in particular.
Writing about music can be tough sometimes when you're trying to depict something you love without a bias. I step out of my journalistic perspective momentarily to say that it has been a while since I've been blown away by a record the way this one did. Content aside, it's a masterpiece of a slapper that had me in absolute stank-face-go-crazy-mode throughout.
CRASH told me a bit about the song.
ILLEGAL took about two months to fully materialize. I wrote it out of anger, performed it with no beat, reworked the writing, performed it again, reworked it more, and recorded it like four times before sending it off to mixing. It felt very natural to get the whole thing out. Like I didn't have to force shit, I let my thoughts pour onto paper and the rest slowly came to fruition. I had to wait until I got over strep to even finish the record off. My boy Will went through a week-and-a-half of mixes before we got something to be satisfied with. With this being my first piece in so long, I dropped it from several places at once: joy, pain, anger, and relief. I can confidently say that fear didn't make that list this time.
I posed him a question about something that I couldn't help but consider.
This song has the sonic quality of something that could be big. Did the potential of this song being co-opted by people missing the message or even actively rebelling against its message occur to you?
Since you frame it that way, let me say this: it's 2016 and everything is a meme. Everything is subject to being decontextualized. Hell, a lot of shit is downright confusing right now. This is the first real time I've experienced such a cultural dissonance as a creative and a fan and I'm only 22.
I say all that to say... most of my fans are white. That's a matter of proximity as of now, but I don't see that changing anytime soon. I doubt someone will have much material to mine for - this mythical, culture-vulture someone - but if white kids get something out of the message and can ride out to the struggle I place on this record, then I'm doing my work. I'm doing my job. It's not enough for me to solely deal information out via rap as a medium; my shit has to slap, too. I need the sonics and the lyrics to reflect an equilibrium of what I listen to and what I think is missing. So I never intend to stop with the bangers; I wouldn't listen to me if my beats were trash.
I'll never stop deconstructing and dismantling oppression through my music. But the shit is going to slap, even if it's not always an 808. I'll never sacrifice one for the other. And as far as the appropriation thing... as long as people hear "ILLEGAL" and don't start disrespecting and decontextualizing the pain I leverage to communicate what I need to - my pain and the pain of others - then we're good.
I could talk about this appropriation shit all day. It's like every day I speak on it to some degree and gain more perspective on it. I'm not even right half the time is the thing, I'm figuring this shit out in real time like everyone else.
Love your people, fuck that evil, no one breathing is illegal.
Catch 'ILLEGAL' at CRASH's free show in Madison tonight.

Doreming is focused on financial inclusion for workers. Today, two billion people in the world are unbanked with millions who are forced to live by purchasing their daily needs through taking out short-term loans at high rates from unofficial sources such as loan sharks.
Doreming has created a payroll system that gives workers access to their daily incomes in which their payments are processed through a virtual account linked to their payroll account.
Doreming's system has several benefits for both workers and their employers.
For workers, their payroll system lowers the risk of default because the payments are made through a pro-rata pay that they are expecting to receive on payday.
For employers, their system automates their payroll processing to calculate real time accrued salary of their workers with taxes, insurance costs and other statutory expenses deducted.

text: DigitalNew iPhone's USB Cable Leaked OnlineBy Nate Hoffelder|August 22, 2012 ShareBy Nate Hoffelder|August 22, 2012 ShareThe new iPhone is widely believed to have a smaller docking port, and a number of what could be leaked parts confirm this, but until today we had never seen a complete USB cable for the new iPhone.iLounge posted this image earlier today. As you can see, it appears to be a complete cable for the new iPhone, and aside from the new connection on the end it looks just like the cable I have for my iPad. But is it real?iLounge got it via a tweet from a Twitter user who's profile links back to a website for a China-based USB accessories maker. That strikes me as someone who might actually have the cable ahead of time. While I don't know if he got it illicitly or not, I could see samples being shared between fellow manufacturers on the down low.And even if it's not true, the rumor itself is delicious.

If you loved "Blackadder" with Rowan Atkinson, the original "The Office" with Ricky Gervais, "Gavin & Stacey" with James Corden, "Agatha Christie's Poirot: The Early Cases," "Miss Marple," "Inspector Morse," or "Sherlock Holmes," then you might have an addiction to British television.

All-time favorites including "Blackadder" with Rowan Atkinson, the original version of "The Office" with Ricky Gervais, "Gavin & Stacey" with James Corden, and "Absolutely Fabulous" featuring the amazing Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley will also be available.

Michael Klesius of Air & Space Magazine has details about the newest U.S. spacecraft, the U.S. Air Force's X-37 space plane, which is scheduled for launch in April 2010. The Space Shuttle is scheduled for retirement in 2010 so the unmanned X-37 will be the only space plane in the U.S. inventory after that. When the X-37, a mini-space plane developed by Boeing's Phantom Works, is rolled out to the pad it will be covered by a launch shroud to keep prying eyes from seeing too much (go figure, since Boeing/NASA has released some photos of the craft)
Here is what Klesius writes:
"The X-37 embodies the Air Force's desire for an operational spaceplane, a wish that dates to the 1950s, the era of the rocket-powered X-15 and X-20. In other ways, though, the X-37 will be picking up where another U.S. spaceplane, NASA's space shuttle, leaves off.
With a wingspan of 15 feet and a length of 27.5 feet, the X-37 looks like a tiny space shuttle. It has a blunt (though windowless) nose, and one rocket engine bell instead of the shuttle's three. Two cargo doors open just as the shuttle's do, revealing a four- by seven-foot bay. Like the shuttle, the X-37 was designed for low Earth orbits—in the latter's case, altitudes of 125 to 575 miles. And the craft will fly like a shuttle, reentering the atmosphere with the orbiter's 40-degree nose-high attitude. After reentry, it will change to a 20-degree nose-down glide and, flying at up to 220 mph, land at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, with Edwards Air Force Base as an alternate."

"It takes a lot of beer to make great wine"
When I moved to Napa Valley in 2010 to learn about wine, I stumbled into a great part-time job at a St. Helena wine shop. Just as we do here at Chain Bridge Cellars, we gave free tastings Friday afternoons, but they were a little different. Because we had winemakers for neighbors, they poured for us, and as the newest and least experienced employee, I usually got the glassware and wine ready for the tasting.
Early on, a coworker asked me to run to the nearby Safeway to pick up beer. "For the winemaker – he likes Trumer or another nice, crisp Pilsner," he said. Now, Jeff had a good sense of humor, so at first I thought he was having a little fun with me. "Really?" I asked. "For the … winemaker?"
"Of course!" he said, looking at me as though I was even more clueless than he had originally thought. Turns out the saying "it takes a lot of beer to make great wine" exists for a reason, and I always kept the fridge stocked for tasting days. Every winemaker had their favorites, but they all wanted something crisp and unpretentious to sip while pouring and schmoozing, even (especially, actually) the ones making $100+ Cabernet.
Shane Finley is no different. When he almost sheepishly asked if he could have a beer as we were cleaning up from the tasting at the end of the night, it took me right back to those Friday night tastings in St. Helena.
A name like Kosta Browne usually gets everyone's attention, but there is more to Shane Finley than a few famous names on his resume (or his love of beer!). Like many of us in the wine industry, he is a refugee from a much more mainstream career – in his case as an insurance agent. In his mid-20s, having caught the wine bug, he quit his job in Manhattan to be a harvest intern and learn how to make wine. That he did, working harvests in California with Copain winery as well as at Domaine Pierre Gaillard in the Northern Rhone. When he agreed to come to our store to lead a tasting for the second year in a row, we were thrilled, and we were even more thrilled with how beautifully the wines showed.
We started the evening with a splash of his Grenache Blanc, an unusual grape for California, but part of a growing movement we're seeing there towards alternatives to the usual Chardonnays and Sauvignon Blancs. From Vermentino to Trousseau Gris, we're thrilled with all this variety, and are excited that wines like this are finally making it out of the state! Shane's Grenache Blanc has the high-toned, lemony snap of a great Picpoul de Pinet, but with much more ripeness and sophistication.
Then it was on to the Ma Fille Rose, named for Shane's daughter. Refreshing and fun to drink, this is the kind of wine that gets guzzled first at parties, no matter what other impressive bottles are available.
Though his current day job at Lynmar has him making lots of Pinot Noir, he only makes one, The Charm, under his own label. The name is a nod to his Irish heritage, and a charming, ripe, unctuous Pinot it is.
Dueling Syrahs ended our tasting, both showing a different side of Shane's approach to this classic and sometimes unappreciated grape. His time in the Rhone inspired him to work with it, and his "The Villain" and Jemrose Syrahs were remarkably different.
The differences between the two inspired quite a bit of discussion! The Villain showed the dark-fruited side of Syrah, and the delicious, liquorice-like flavors it can develop when fully ripe. The Jemrose Syrah showed a much earthier, grippier profile, and for many was the wine of the night. Grown in a cool area of Sonoma County, this Syrah was made with 100% whole-cluster fermentation, while the Villain only saw a portion. The additional contact with stems gave the wine fine, mouthwatering tannins that cried out for a piece of grilled lamb or steak. The cheese and charcuterie we had was delicious as usual, but for this wine, it didn't cut it!
Thanks to Shane and the folks at Nice Legs for a wonderful, relaxed evening. We hope he decides to come back next year!

Come on, I know I'm not the only one who does this. Here's a recap of my life for the past few days.
Sunday was one of those, do-nothing-but-chill types of days. Went to see The Wolf of Wall Street with Kyle and his parents. Really good. Don't watch it with your grandparents.
I wore my new favorite top from Victoria's Secret that I got for Christmas. It's now on sale if you're interested. It's a bit long for this short girl (5'1″) but I tucked the bottom under and it looks fine.
Monday, Kyle and I went for a hike on Mt. Diablo. They say on a clear day you can see the Sierra Nevada from it. It was pretty hazy when we went.
We pretended we were mountain goats and did some fake-parkour, and then did some actual hiking.
Kyle had decided to dress up very 90's for our hike.
New Year's Eve, I had no plans of running because I was pretty busy, but I decided I had to end the year with a short 5K.
After my run I quickly met up with Kyle and his family for pizza. Kyle also made me a drink, the Dutch Amy.
He was going to make me a Dutch Mule but he didn't have any gin. So a Dutch Amy is a Dutch Mule with lime vodka instead of gin. Patent pending.
A guide to Amy's facial expressions:
I hope it's good cause that will be awkward if it sucks –> tasting –> oh wow. it's really delicious!
The rest of our evening consisted of playing Loaded Questions (board game), and then Kyle and I watching Modern Family until 11:55 when we switched it over to Ryan Seacrest to watch the ball drop. A nap may have been thrown in there too.
Nothing wild and crazy for our NYE, but I loved
napping chilling with my guy.
On New Year's Day, I went on a nice, slow, and easy 8 mile run. I wanted to run more, but I had a family party to get to.
My night ended with some TV watching and catching up on blogs. Oh and Skyler fell asleep while on hold with Petco.
I hope y'all had a wonderful start to 2014!
What'd you do for NYE?
Anyone run on 1/1/14?

When "C to Z" beats "Left & Right"
More time is better when you're on vacation, or getting a massage, sitting in a hot tub, or have a deadline, but not quite as good when you're trying to break down your game film to help your team win more games.
And breaking down the video needs to be as simple as possible with the least amount of effort and the fewest "clicks". We know… we do a LOT of video for a lot of games.
Because we wear the same boots you wear, we're constantly looking for every second we can save by making the software smarter and easier to use.
One of the latest changes we just implemented was moving the Time of Possession hot keys from the "left and right" arrow keys to the "Z" and "C" keys.
This might seem like an odd choice of keys since everyone else likes to use the more intuitive arrow keys but moving the hot keys to the left side of the keyboard allows you to use your left hand to record the time of possession while you use your right hand for simultaneous tagging of the game events.
Like the game itself, this one small change will not make or break your experience with the SocrPro software but bit by bit, click by click, improvement by improvement, we're making SocrPro into the easiest, most powerful and best loved sports video software in the world today.
SocrPro is the only sports video software built only for soccer and 100% dedicated to the sport of soccer today and the future. We know we could easily create additional features and then use this for other sports but we can't figure out why we would ever do that?
If you want smarter players that win more games, then get your SocrPro account today – Join Right Now
Remember that Socrpro has an amazing Mobile App that'll keep all your updates at your fingertips.

The following recipe is from the South Africa Quick n Easy Chicken Recipe book (and I have had it for years!!) … and it truly is so quick and easy – not to mention tasty, proving that eating clean doesn't have to be boring or bland! I added the vegetables to the recipe to bulk it up.
I have recently joined an online community called SLEEKGEEK in the hopes of getting fitter and healthier (notice that I don't say that I have joined a club to lose weight, although, should this be a by-product of a lifestyle change, I will definitely not be complaining!).
This online community focuses on encouraging people to get healthy… by providing the support, motivation and recommendations on how to achieve goals (whether it be to lose weight, get fit or to revamp your lifestyle).
My cousin (Eric) is one of the co-founders and our entire family has been so incredibly proud of his transformation! He lost 30kg 3years ago and has maintained the loss, while living a healthy, active and "normal" life. By normal – I mean that he does drink alcohol, he does eat cake, pizza, burgers, etc… but he manages his lifestyle sustainably and therefore has turned into a bit of a *Brad Pitt* Adonis looking bloke – sorry ladies, he is currently in a relationship!
This introduction to SleekGeek is the reason why some of my forthcoming recipes are going to be on the healthier side than my normal cake and treats kind of posts… please bear with me, I promise that I wont blog about anything that I wouldn't normally eat and enjoy! And there will of course be the normal blog posts about cake and restaurants in the coming weeks too.

Best OTC Fuel Injector Cleaner
OTC 7000A-1 'Pro Inject-R Kleen' Fuel Injector Cleaner – 16 oz.
This is considered by us the best OTC Fuel Injector Cleaner!
Every vehicle relies on the contributions of regular maintenance, reasonable use, and certain levels of "abuse" via it's transmission, engine, and other parts critical parts – both big and small. Abuse in this instance more or less meaning "use", over prolonged periods of time, or perhaps over excessive usage of acceleration, stopping, engine-demands, and even aggressively hitting high RPM's on a regular basis- taking your vehicle to it's maximum potential.
Doing this, although fair-play as long as it's under the red RPM line is considered "safe", but it's not something that many everyday commuter cars and brands like Toyota or Honda for example are designed to take the stress of. Also, in addition to all of these critical moving parts and roles your vehicle is responsible for, it's worth considering the necessity and value of using the appropriate lubricants, and adding or changing them as necessary – such as in the case of this accompanying OTC 7000A-1 'Pro Inject-R Kleen' Fuel Injector Cleaner product.
Over time – even with regular maintenance – the engine naturally takes on wear, as well as the starter-system, fuel injectors, and system. How well your engine is delivered power and fuel depends on the condition of your fuel injection system, it's use, and maintenance. Your vehicles engine relies on clean, consistently firing pistons, as well as an overall reasonably clean fuel reservoir and connecting flow of constant injections of fuel without debris or moisture buildup getting in the way.
For vehicle owners that have had their cars for 150,000-200,000 miles or more, or simply those with lower miles but heavier than usual use, some negative reactions in your vehicle may be experienced overtime.
Some of these include, but are not limited to:
- Hesitation in startup and acceleration due to the starter system taking on wear and abuse
- Poor idling and RPM response, especially in cold weather
- A lack of ability to prepare for and adequately accelerate up inclines with necessary horsepower
- A sputtering engine, or one that cranks, creaks, or makes other unusual, and unwanted noises
- An engine that appears to have become weakened over the years of and miles of use
- Repeat unusual behavior of O2 and engine sensor lights flickering or staying on even past trouble-shooting or tune up efforts
Car owners may become intimidated by these problems, understandably, and even through regular maintenance can still continue to experience these issues later on. While it may not solve your problems 100% of the time, utilizing well reputed fuel injector system cleaners, and aids for fuel injection system cleaning products such as this OTC 7000A-1 'Pro Inject-R Kleen' product make sense and might be necessary. This can lead to a lot of savings at the shop and unwanted headaches down the line. Nobody wants to deal with an unruly or unresponsive vehicle, no matter the brand, age, or mileage.
With the OTC 7000A-1 'Pro Inject-R Kleen' it's as simple as accompanying this with another (primary) OTC fuel injection system cleaner and using an AC flush gun to back feed the fluids as necessary through the pressure test port using shop-air, or, simply having this done at the shop and by a mechanic.
Customers that even have upwards of 200,000 miles or more have reported that as little as one application of this OTC product can dramatically improve idle and smoothness in shifting gears, acceleration, and improve hesitation in the engine. This fuel injection system cleaner has also been known to help repair or stop misses, and it's no wonder why considering this company is owned by Bosch. Bosch, which just so happens to be a major, well-reputed fuel injector manufacturer.
Bosch was actually the first to supply fuel injection system cleaning products to Mercedes and is well trusted among both major, licensed mechanics and dealerships from Hondas to BMW's. Who wouldn't trust a name-brand and company that was responsible for creating the first Mercedes road-vehicle? The 300SL Gullwing.
Thanks to it's cleaning compounds and chemicals this OTC 7000A-1 'Pro Inject-R Kleen' Fuel Injector Cleaner is perfect for restoring spray patterns, preventing, and treating recurring, unwanted debris build-up, moisture, and other deposits. This product, in combination with a typical fuel injector system cleaner is also catalytic converter and O2 sensor-friendly, which increases it's appeal for vehicle owners.
Consumers can maximize their investment and approach to improve, restore, and prevent unwanted wear and tear on their vehicles fuel injection and engine system that occurs over time in relying on this accompanying OTC fuel injector product with a normal canister-style fuel injector cleaner. Just make sure you do not put this directly into your gas tank, as that's not what it's designed for and will diminish results.

Bob motherfucking Ross is the man, the buddha, the jesus, the muhammad, the katy perry. He was the best qualities of all these people and more, he best represented humanity in a way that we should constantly strive for.
A lot of my friends say hey High Lord Philmon why are you so gay for Bob Ross, and before I send them to the lions for being disrespectful pieces of dog shit, I explain to them this…what isn't to love?
First and foremost look at that hair
Look… as a man who has attempted and succeeded to grow an afro, my hair was never so big, so soulful, and so intimidatingly awesome. I'm positive Bob Ross was born with an afro intact. Rumor has it his mother was a virgin that was inseminated by the ghost of coolness, thus brought Bob Ross to this world.
He painted amazing landscapes seamlessly.
When was the last time you drawn anything worth while? If you are like most… the answer is probably never because your drawings sucked and your mom wanted to take it off the refrigerator so much but was afraid you'd ask about it, and she'd tell you that you were adopted or a mistake without thinking about it out of anger.
He has to be the reincarnation of buddha
That quote resonates within me and should resonate within you as well. How long have we spent thinking about all the places in life we have fallen short of, instead of moving on and seeing how to makes you grow in a different way you intended.
No regrets only life lessons bitches.
He served time in the military
Twenty years in the Air Force and retiring at the rank of Master Sergeant he knows how to deal with bullshit with a resilient attitude. For the tree hugging extreme left winged liberals who hate the armed forces, suck a dick these people have done more for this country than you'd ever do.Go eat some gluten-free asshole and talk about how you like listening to records on vinyl.
To bring my points to a close Bob Ross should be celebrated, his birthday should be a federal holiday and we should all dress up like him, walk the streets and have a massive orgy. Thats what he would want, to see love transpire into the physical plus I'm hitting a dry spell. His face should be craved into the side of Mt. Rushmore, even though South Dakota has a population of twelve. We should raise up a statue five hundred feet tall with one hand on a M4 another on a paint brush.

So yeah this is the first 18+ doujin I put on here, but I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to translate it.
It's the sequel to MAGICAL NIPPLE KISS + (I think? I mean, there's no other work before it that I can find so I'll just assume it is…)
One difference from the people who translated the first one is that I named the characters Chloe and Lillian and not Cloe and Lilian, that's because their names actually appeard in the bonus pages of this chapter spelled like that.
Hope you enjoy some… breastfeeding lewdness???
And yes, I do plan on translating chapter 3 as well if you were wondering.

Peaceful Wishes
I've always loved this set and I'm very glad
I bought it before it retired this year.
This time every year, I have Christmas in July, my students like to get a jump on their Christmas Card making. I have dilly-dalled the summer away and not kept up with posting each weeks card classes. We make 5 cards or 4 cards and a holder in each class, but some of the cards seem to have vanished into thin air over the summer. Maybe they melted away in the summer heat. I really hope to do better for the rest of the year and post each class promptly. Hopefully I will not lose any that way.

Back in geometry class we used to draw these on paper. I could never remember what they were actually called, but I think they went by "string art". (That's what came up in a search too)
Basically the Idea is making a curve with straight lines. Usually it's done on paper or 'stitched' onto cardboard. The plan for this one was to make a 3D version that I could hang on the wall or display on my desk. I think it turned out awesome, so I hope you like it and I can get more people to try it also.
Step 1: Supplies & Tools
For this project you're going to need a couple tools and supplies.
- Drill
- 3/16" Drill Bit
- Pencil (writing utensil)
- Tape Measure, Ruler
- Heavy Duty Stapler (this part is optional you could just use glue alone, you would need something else as an anchor then)
- Saw (I used a coping saw, but any fine toothed saw should work, you don't need to cut much)
- Clamps will be a big help, even more so if you're just using glue.
- About 4 Feet of 3/4" Screen molding (also sold as plywood edging) this is the wood frame of the project.
- A Roll of String (I used mason line)
- Staples (If you're using them)
- A Piece of Scrap Wood that's about 1/2" thick
- Paint (optional of course)
(If I missed anything Sorry it will be somewhere in here)
Step 2: Measure and Cut the Frame
This Part is fairly easy, just take your tape measure and mark out four 9" sections of edging. Once you're done marking it, Take your saw and cut out the four sections. See, that was simple enough.
Step 3: Mark It for Drilling
This step is fairly simple. Start off by making marks every 3/4". I made the first mark on the 1" and the last mark before 8", so there are 10 marks in total. Go ahead and mark the same marks on the other three.
Now, The edging I'm using is 3/4 inch so the middle of it is 3/8". Make that mark on both sides and trace a line down the middle with a straightedge. Now you're ready to drill it.
Step 4: Vroom Vroom, Drill It
Speaks for itself pretty much, stay on the middle line and drill a hole with the 3/16" bit at each mark. It should give you a fairly consistent line of holes. It doesn't have to be perfect but if you want to you could use a drill press, I used a regular drill.
You're drilling all the way through it so drill on a scrap piece of wood.
Step 5: Start Assembling
Ok now you're going to need that scrap piece of wood. Cut 3 pieces of the scrap that are about 3/4" long (same width as the edging wood).
Now put plenty of glue on the scrap pieces and create the 90 degree L shape (pictures help on this step). If your stapling them now is the time to do it, if not, then you should probably clamp them and let them dry before you do anything.
You should have two L shapes now.
Step 6: Make the "W"
Ok now you should have 2 L shapes. This part is probably the hardest part of the whole thing. Clamps and glue will be your best friend on this one
put lots of glue on the third scrap piece and attach it to one of the L's.
If you're not stapling them then you should clamp it here and let it dry completely before you attach the next one.
Ok so now attach the other L to the scrap block with plenty of glue. This is the time to clamp everything up and let it dry for an hour or two (overnight is best, if you didn't use staples I would let it go overnight)
Step 7: Strengthen It Up
(You should do this before you leave it to dry)
If you haven't noticed yet it's pretty fragile. So what you can do is fill all the gaps with glue. The wood absorbs a lot of glue and it leaves gaps. Fill the gaps with glue. Then let it dry.
Step 8: Paint It (optional)
Now that the glue is dry, if you are going to paint the frame now's the time.
I went with a glossy black; you can go with whatever color you want. I think neon colors would look pretty sweet.
Step 9: Time to String It
This is the time consuming step. You're going to need lots of string.
There is two ways you can do this, you can string the whole thing in one consecutive piece or you can do 10 separate strings. I did it in one consecutive string. So that's what I'm going to show you how to do.
Start by pulling out A LOT of string (25 feet or so), there would be nothing worse than stringing the whole thing and then being 5" short at the end. I used just shy of 25 feet of string, it's way better to have extra.
Ok now, pick one side and anchor one end of the string. I did this by tying a loop knot and stapling the knot. (Picture might help)
Now you got to start threading everything. Start at the top hole and string it down to the closest hole at the bottom, pull it all the way through (yes this takes some time). Now take the end and thread it through the next hole out to the next highest hole, and pull it all the way through again.
(Yes this is somewhat confusing, the picture helps)
continue this pattern until you got the first 'L' stitched up.
After this it gets a little trickier the next step explains it.
Stringing Tip: If you hold the tip your threading with while you pull everything through, the line will never actually knot.
Step 10: Just Keep Stringing...
Once you finish the first one it gets a little tricky. You're going to start sharing the holes. Same threading idea just takes a little bit more work.
Ok so now you are done with the first "L". To get the string to the next L thread in through the top hole of the next 'L' (see picture) and then just keep going with the same pattern.
The pictures really do a better job of explaining, it's kind of complicated. Look at them ;)
once you finish the second 'L', the third 'L' is just like doing the second L. Go from the end of the second L and thread to the hole at the start of the third L.
this is the same thing as going from the first one to the second 'L'.
If you are still super confused leave a comment with your question and I'll try to help out.
Step 11: Finishing Up
Yay! Now all three L's are done! You could just staple it and tie it off right next to the hole but I wanted mine to look the same on both sides. (Well sort of). So I pulled everything tight and wrapped it around to the top and I anchored it there.
Now, go display your work of art on your desk or wall!

Your awesome project inspired me to do my own!
Thanks :)
Man, this illustrates the concept of derivatives rather well.
Very nice : D Never thought of using these materials for the frame. Just a quick side-note for people wanting to make this. You can also use UV reactive neon-wire. This type of 3d art is done a lot in the psytrance / goa scene, and they build incredibly complex (and psychedelic) constructs with all sorts of neon-wire. I'm not sure where you can buy this outside of The Netherlands, but here you can probably find it at smartshops.
I'm going to try and make one out of EL wire :D
Already tried. the string didn't bend the way I wanted it to and it's an awful pain to replace when the lights dim.
I thought the SAME thing! HAHA!
What could this be useful for? I want to make it, but I don't want it just be centrepiece.
its a parabola
This is great..could You do this in fiber optic cable?
Know the guy who built a stool like this. Its awesome.
I see that you tend to give negative remarks. If you're this negative at 15, I can only imagine how disallusioned you will be at 18. If you think you can do better, by all means post an istructable that we can comment on.
i am not 15
Sorry, I didn't realize you had a birthday and you're now 16. You still have a lot of growing up to do. Don't knock people when they put their creative talents on display.
i'm in the process of building one with UV LEDs and the some fluorescent string. should be cool to look at, but rather impractical for a coffee table unless it's at a night club
Why say that? it's art. It's enjoyable to look at.
Mini Desktop 3D String Art
Inspired by this tutorial but not able to fit the result of it on my desk, I created a miniature version of it in my own Instructable. Thanks for the idea.
Looks great. First thing I thought was,; "Wow, a deconstructed tennis racket" But no one else seems to have spotted that. I might make one and attach a racket handle to one end, just to communicate my hatred of the silly ball sport.
so true
but cool
Really good, fun, easy project. I just finished creating one, and hung it up on my wall. I found two things in the Instructable to be confusing or annoying, however: First, the small amount of pictures - Even just one or two more pictures on the steps when you're weaving in the string would help immensely with understanding the technique you used. Second, you should have measured how much string you actually used. Your units are very vague in writing, and you never had a picture of the string you had before weaving it. I had about 11 feet on my first attempt, and had to start over after the first "L" because I realized that it wasn't enough. I ended up using closer to like 20 or 25 feet of string. If you fixed those two aspects of the Instructable, it would be much easier for people to do the project.

Syrian Regime's Blitz of Eastern Ghoutaإقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The Syrian government launched a ferocious assault on a rebel enclave outside Damascus on February 18, saying it wanted to crush Islamist and jihadist groups.
The onslaught has since retaken nearly 60 percent of Eastern Ghouta and killed more than 1,220 civilians -- a fifth of them children, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Here is a summary of events:
- New round of rockets, raids -
Government forces open a Russian-backed campaign against Eastern Ghouta with more than 260 rockets and intense air raids.
The strikes continue on February 19, when 127 civilians are killed in the highest single day death toll in Eastern Ghouta since 2013, when it was first besieged by the army.
On February 20, Russian air strikes reportedly target Eastern Ghouta for the first time in three months, hitting the key regional hospital in Arbin.
- 'Hell on Earth' -
On February 21, raids target several areas and aircraft drop barrel bombs -- crude, improvised munitions that cause indiscriminate damage.
The Kremlin denies carrying out air strikes.
UN chief Antonio Guterres calls for an immediate ceasefire, saying the region's 400,000 residents are living in "hell on Earth".
- 'Another Aleppo' -
On February 22, Russia presses at the United Nations for a negotiated withdrawal of rebel fighters and their families, like the one that saw the government retake full control of Aleppo in December 2016.
Syria's U.N. representative Bashar al-Jaafari confirms the comparison, saying: "Yes, Eastern Ghouta will become another Aleppo."
On February 24, the U.N. Security Council unanimously adopts a resolution demanding a 30-day ceasefire to allow for aid deliveries and medical evacuations.
But new air strikes and shelling batter the enclave for the following two days.
- Daily 'pause' ordered -
On February 26, Moscow announces President Vladimir Putin has ordered a daily five-hour "humanitarian pause" from February 27 and the opening of protected corridors to allow people to leave.
Hours after the measure is meant to take effect, the United Nations says fighting has continued, making relief operations impossible.
- Noose tightens -
A first attempt at delivering aid to the enclave is made on March 5 but it is cut short due to heavy shelling.
Intense air strikes by the regime and its Russian ally kill 91 civilians on March 7, the Observatory says, reporting at least 60 people suffering from breathing difficulties following strikes on the towns of Sakba and Hammuriyeh.
The Doctors Without Borders (MSF) charity speaks of an acute emergency in the enclave and says 15 of the 20 medical facilities it supports have been hit by air strikes or shelling.
Despite the bombardment, on March 9 food aid is distributed in Douma, the largest town in Eastern Ghouta.
The following day the regime cuts off Douma from the rest of the enclave, managing to split the region into three: Douma and its surroundings in the north, Harasta in the west, and Sakba and Hammuriyeh in the south.
On March 11, it captures the town of Medeira, which lies between the three zones.
The regime sets up shelters and food distribution centers for the hundreds of civilians it has evacuated from newly recaptured areas.
- First medical evacuations -
On Monday, the United States presents a new draft resolution to the U.N. Security Council demanding a 30-day ceasefire. More than 1,000 people, mostly women and children, are in urgent need of medical evacuation, according to the U.N.
On March 13, dozens of civilians including "medical cases" are evacuated.
The following day, dozens more are evacuated while the Observatory says at least 31 civilians are killed in bombardments.
On March 15, a convoy of food aid enters Eastern Ghouta with a third delivery to Douma in 10 days.
- Thousands flee enclave -
The same day, thousands of civilians escape into government-held territory, the largest numbers since the regime assault on the enclave began.
Using a corridor through Hammuriyeh opened by the army after a late-night advance, they flee on foot, in cars and on motorcycles to the government-held checkpoint of Adra.
