For your consideration: The Talking Heads.
I was listening to the live album The Name of This Band and was struck at how intricate and innovative their guitar work was. Jerry Harrison was an experienced musician, but David Byrne was hardly a player at all. And yet their playing just gelled in a couple of years.
Their first records actually came out around the same time as Television's, and of course they were part of the same CBGB scene. I have to think they influenced a lot of guitarists looking for something beyond chunka-chunka rhythm and showoff guitar solos...The Cure, The Smiths, U2, etc.
Byrne and his collaborator Eno also were highly motivated amateurs who defied common convention on the role of instrumentalists and even singers, like David Bowie, as well.
Anyway, check out the guitars. Great sound, pretty unique for rock music in the late 70's. And their artistic vision was boundless.
Alex Weir apparently came up with several riffs for the talking heads and had an instructional video below.
When I was living in NY, I had a place on Bleeker, at the seedy end. I'll admit that David Byrne and Tina were never that appealing to me. Tom Verlaine was doing things that really spoke to me. He embraced a real love for a spirit in things Coltrane. Like jazz, there are things that only people who saw it live will ever get, or believe.
Over the years, a lot of people have tried to turn me on to Talking Heads. Maybe I'll have another go. I just remember the real seedy old space and the sound there always belonged to Television. What an exciting time that was.
I was working in Soho. The galleries on West Broadway threw their doors open at night and you could hear people like Julius Hemphill and Leo Smith playing on the sidewalks. Klaus Nomi would be on the bill at Max's.

Tom Verlaine started out earlier in the 70's but came to attention about the same time as Talking Heads.
I remember watching their TV debut on the Dick Clark show in the late 70's, and what a weird performance it was. 180 degrees away from the Eagles and LA rock that dominated at the time.
I like them both--appreciate the guitar proficiency of Verlaine and Lloyd of course, but don't discount the influence of Talking Heads just because they were technically crappy guitarists. Their sound was mesmerizing and influenced a lot of folks. And when they went "polyrhythmic" with Fear of Music--well every up and coming band went polyrhythmic and world beat.
I saw them in 1981 when they toured for the Remain in Light album--their last full tour if I am correct. I met my future girlfriend at the show, so it has some special relevance for me.
It is one of the 3 times I have seen Adrian Belew as a supporting guitarist--with the Heads, Zappa and King Crimson.
The film "Stop Making Sense" captures a lot of the post Remain in Light vibe, but without Belew. Alex Weir is funkier and fun in his own right... And Bernie Worrell is quite special too.
Pete Ham from Badfinger. So unappreciated (for songwriting as well) that he checked out early.
Maybe it'd be worth another post for musicians who were extremely successful and influential despite being rank amateurs at their instruments.
Luther Perkins could barely play guitar when he started with Johnny Cash--had to be coached to play "the right note" during recordings sessions. Yet he got an entire generation of country fans to start playing guitar.
One could make the case that Dylan couldn't sing or play and yet still became an idol. As I recall Dave van Ronk mentions that Dylan was a terrible guitarist when he first met him, then a few months later he was competent and could imitate everyone else's folk playing convincingly.
Brian Eno couldn't sing or play when he was hired by Roxy Music as what amounted to a sound engineer. Yet he went on to a very successful (understatement!) career, singing and playing many instruments on his own and others' records.
And Phil Collins--his first singing contributions to Genesis were not promising. Great drummer, but Grammy-winning vocalist?? Who would've guessed.

I was a big Heads fan from way back, as mentioned. But I had never heard of Television until Bowie release his Ashes to Ashes album with Kingdom Come on it. Then I had to have the original Tom Verlaine version, and worked backward to Television.
Too bad they weren't more prolific...
I never was a big Talking Heads fan, for my taste their songs and image are too goofy. But that OP video is pretty cool, I like the groove and the sound.
From that NYC era, my indisputable favs are the Ramones, that the band that really hit the spot. I guess I can put Johnny Ramone in the category of underappreciated guitar heroes. What he did is kinda art in itself. In one word- a stamina, that is a rare find, most guitar players spend time on developing lead pyrotechnics or being clever with chords.
The other one, recently passed away Malcolm Young. Another genius of power groove, who made AC/DC instantly identifiable by just strumming a chord.
In jazz, I gotta think, but one name is always Jimmy Shirley. I only heard one song on a compilation, but it was a perfect solo.
Love the Heads, Television, Let's active, the Mats...I was lucky, my pops was young when this shot was cool, got me into it.
I think he'd say of all those cool cbgb groups, Byrne''s shot was lasting. It had a good beat, you could dance to it.
Fear of Music is one of my favorite records ever, if just for "Cities."
Oingo Boingo the whole band but especially Steve Bartek on guitar.
I first saw then called The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo and they had a woman singer doing the whole Billie Holiday thing and Stan Ayeroff was the guitarist. Stan is another excellent Gypsy and Charlie Christian style guitarist. They did a lot of 30's music with this setup and their horn section. Then a few years went by and they were in the background of the L.A. scene. Then the 80's hit they were now just the Oingo Boingo and they were playing all the New Wave clubs, but now they had Danny Elfman as their frontman and Steve Bartek on guitar. Also the horn section all doubled on strange handmade percussion and Johnny Vatos on drums. I saw them a lot back then. They were a very tight band and Danny Elfman was incredible frontman using his theatrical background with Steve Bartek arrangements. After that they had their hits and started play concerts instead of clubs and to me their show didn't transfer well to a big stage, they really needed the audience interaction they had in clubs.
Then Danny Elfman a self-taught composer and arranger became on the the top film scorers in Hollywood with Steve Bartek as his orchestrator and right hand man. The Chinese restaurant I used to go to where I used to live in L.A. I'd see Danny and Steve in there all the time with score sheets and notepads going over music from sessions. Johnny Vatos Oingo's drummer has Oingo tribute band that still gigs, but he more known for the big bands he plays in, he's a hell of a drummer.
So Oingo had a couple great guitarist in Stan and Steve, then Danny as frontman and writer, then Johnny on drums. So an underappreciated band.

In retrospect it's amazing how brief that epoch was, really just 2 years.
Johnny gives a nice outlook on all those CBGB bands around 5:45

Big, big fan of Marc Ribot's work with Tom Waits.
Robert Quine's work with Richard Hell was, to me, pretty special.
Yep love Mark Ribot. Richard Quine also played with Lou Reed on many albums, and they were quite a good pair. Lou is another example of a rudimentary guitarist and technically poor singer who was quite effective at what he did and very influential. I would imagine his work with John Cale and Sterling Morrison was a big influence on the Heads and Television, among others.

Dave Stewart. Always crafting parts for the song. For example, "Would I Lie To You" has a furious energy that is nonetheless succinct. We played a lot of '80s Pop back in the day, and Eurythmics was always a high point.

But, there are a lot of guitarists who are underrecognized.
Link Wray just came to mind...how many people did he influence with Rumble? Just a few notes, and suddenly everyone wanted to get a distorted guitar sound.
Marc Bolan--hardly a virtuoso, but the perfect tone and the perfect looks for the time.

All for creating parts that while simple, totally captivated me and created my need to play the guitar.
Also coming to mind is Maury Muehleisen. Great player and guitar arranger imo, whose legend is eclipsed by the greatness of his partner.
great tom verlaine instrumental album..very outside...he was a big free jazz fan..loved the saxophone...trane, ayler etc
warm and cool
robert gordon was from early punk cb's band-tuff darts....pre his rockabilly phase...he had killer guitarists...link wray, chris spedding and gatton for a short bit...spedding was/is his main guy...
and what a great he is...chris spedding...uk session man + supreme...early jazz fusioner with nucleus and jack bruce...produced the early sex pistols demo's...steve jones is his tone!
I don't recall Philip Catherine being mentioned much at this forum. I really love his approach and he was on some fine trio albums with Kenny Drew and Neils-Henning Orsted Pederson. One of my favorite is Something Different a Dexter Gordon album. The title is because instead of a Gordon playing with a Piano trio, he is playing with a guitar trio. Catherine's comping is fine on this album and his solos interesting.
He also did some very rock influenced live albums with Pederson and Billy Hart on drums. I believe he played a Les Paul on these.
Catherine continues to make albums and I just love his straight ahead sound with a edge (e.g. his use of a Rat petal on Summer Nights).

Did I mention Pete Townshend above? Listening to their great middle-period records--Tommy, Who's Next, etc. He was a better guitarist than some people claimed, but what really stood out were his sounds and his riffs.
Peter Bilt could play! Although, he 1st had to substitute the hardest fingering for every chord he played...
Of Course, the Humbler... Danny Gatton, and the aforementioned Chris Spedding (Motorbikin') are 2 of my favorites.
But greatest guitar show I ever saw was Robert Gordon at the Saddlerack in San Jose, CA ~1980..
He had 2 guitarists, one tall, one short, both bald, both bangin' Tele's and at one point during the show
they grabbed each-others neck and played an insane harmony lead while we all lost our minds!
I always wondered who those Tele-Twins were... never found out...

In case he hasn't already been mentioned, Tony Joe White
Here's a video of a guy named James James who makes videos where he plays over records he likes so other can learn how to play their favorite songs.
Here he's playing over a live version of "Polk Salad Annie" by Tony Joe White. This is a great example of doing a lot with a little, and keeping the groove central.

Richie Schelenda (If the name is mis-spelled I apologize), who partially inspired me to try and learn jazz guitar. Do not know how far he got in the industry but by all rights should have gone far.

Hocus Pocus ... what great guitar playing! And at the same time it was popular, Rick Derringer and Edgar were doing "Frankenstein" 2 great instrumentals (I don't include yodeling as singing per se...) at the same time on my crummy old AM radio!
very cool obscure guitar record- two sides of peter banks...by the original yes (pre steve howe) guitar man- peter banks...and with jan ackerman!! (he's on left channel - banks on right)...great album.. crimsons wetton, & genesis' phil collins, steve hackett too...

They also were special to me as a guitar team because when I finally got around to getting Marquee Moon after reading it cropping up in lots of interviews, I had largely been a hard-rock/heavy metal guitarist playing in trio+vocalist lineups. Hearing their work did a lot to teach me about playing inside the framework of a song and feathering my parts in with another melodic voice. Those are lessons that do me right to this day.
Mike Campbell has already been mentioned as well. The guy can play his ass off, sure, but he doesn't most of the time, and that's so important.
Another technically great guy who doesn't get respect outside the community of guitarists is Elliot Easton from the Cars. Like Campbell never showed his whole hand, kept his chops in service to the song (1:54 and 3:05, the last one of my fave solos in rock):
Technically challenged? Ace Frehley was one of two (Jeff Lynne being the other) who made me want to pick up the guitar as a boy. Pentatonic wankery? Sure. But it got me to pestering Mom about getting me a guitar, because it was primal, visceral. Of course, he's widely known and appreciated. Robert Smith from the Cure is another guy whose playing is pretty simplistic, but very on-point.
More folks should be hip to Zoot Horn Rollo, early guitarist for Captain Beefheart. He was also a master of slide guitar, and funky odd time signatures.

"Love the One You're With"
Are you guilty, as I am, of always looking for the "perfect" horse: that fancier, better-trained, more stunning horse in the classifieds, at the horseshow, in the magazine...? Sure, there may be no such thing as the "perfect horse." Still, should that stop us from looking for the horse of our dreams? Of course not, if that's your heart's desire.
But I know how easy it is for those dreams to get in the way of reality, and you can get so hung up on what you wish you had, that you don't realize what you've got. A lot of us don't consider that the horse we have now might be more perfect for us than we realize. I have to hit the confessional on this one because I've been guilty in the past of thinking this way. After I lost my best horse ever, Erik, two years ago, I'll admit I didn't even feel like riding for a very long time. Then I had the recovery from the knee replacement surgery, which was longer than I thought it would last. So, what did I do to amuse myself during all this time off from riding? I did what a lot of horse people do; I fired up the computer and went to lots of sites looking for the perfect horse. After finding quite a few that I immediately fell in love with from their pictures, descriptions, bloodlines and my own fantasies of having another fancy Dutch Warmblood, I took a moment to sit down and assess my needs at this stage of the game.
It's not easy to realize that you're no longer young and athletic and can no longer hop on any horse and just ride. But even if I could, did I really need such a young, athletic, fancy horse again? I had to ask myself the tough questions about what motivates me to ride and what kind of horseman I want to be. What did I want to get from riding, and what kind of horse did I need for that? The truth surprised me.
Reality reared its very ugly head and I had to talk myself off the ledge and admit that what I wanted and what I needed for my future riding endeavors might not be one and the same. I loved Erik, but he was not always a fun horse to ride and could sometimes be intimidating. I wanted to continue to learn and improve my riding and have fun in the process. And what I needed to do that, more than looks and athleticism, was a completely safe, trustworthy horse, if such a horse could every truly exist.
The next question was where I was going to find this paragon of virtue. Most of the horses for sale were younger and needed training. By my brutally honest calculations, I was going to need an older horse with more sense and training than what was offered. The catch here is, unfortunately, sometimes their training doesn't quite match up to what I expect from a horse. There was no way I was going to attempt to retrain a horse with behavioral issues and, on the flip side, I didn't want a horse that had been ridden into the ground for years and came with a lot of physical baggage. There were just too many scenarios swirling around my addled brain and I couldn't make a decision on what I wanted as opposed to what I needed.
Enter my daughter who is an excellent trainer of horses and riders and specializes in horses with behavior problems. I could have gotten any horse I wanted if she was willing to help train, but she works full time and barely has time for her own horses. It wouldn't be fair of me to burden her with another untrained horse. We had a talk, she put her hands on her hips and looked at me in the exasperated way only a child of mine can and, rolling her eyes, commented that we had a barn full of horses and why didn't I ride Blue or Dusty?
Light bulb moment? Well maybe, but I had only ridden Blue once or twice due to the fact that he is my older daughter's horse and Dusty was an untrained little brat the last time I rode her many years ago. I had my doubts. We talked a little more about each horse's good points:
Blue is well trained but hasn't been ridden consistently since my two grandchildren came along and my eldest really had no time or interest at this point in riding. Blue certainly has a mind of his own but is steady, unflappable and rarely spooks. This was a plus for me because Erik was the fastest spook this side of hell. Not just my opinion, by the way; every "professional" he ever dumped snidely commented on the same thing. So here we have a sweet, talented horse that is steady, yet stubborn sometimes to the point of completely disregarding any cue you give him. We think he zones out, tunes out and just does his own thing when the mood strikes. While he'll never act flighty, gallop off with you or have a bucking fit, he is the only horse I've ever ridden who will "run away" with you at the walk if he gets distracted and forgets to halt, no matter how hard you try to stop him! So he's far from "pushbutton," but he's never scary. His only physical problem is he doesn't have the best hocks, probably due to his near-chronic Lyme Disease. He's also just as lazy - or maybe even lazier - than Erik was, and his trot is at best uncomfortable and at worst bone-jarring. Blue's overall total in his plus column was impressive when added to his very cool dude personality.
Dusty's column on the other hand could possibly rack up more debits. Other than the fact that I've always liked her - don't ask me why, because I always got the feeling she only tolerated me - I was willing to add up her good points.. She is also steady, brave and loves trail rides and new adventures. Dusty is very willing and likes to work, even though she thinks she knows everything, and is willing to put up a fight to get her point across. She is a forward horse and very enthusiastic about everything. She also had the most comfortable trot I've ever sat. Dusty however, needed a lot of training; at 13, she is still green, mostly because we never really had the time to train her on a consistent basis. I suppose the good spot in all this would be she has a lot less wear and tear under saddle than most teenagers do. Her worst problem was that she doesn't like to be mounted and will fidget or run away from the mounting block. Flipping herself over at the mounting block years ago was what got her sent back to her previous owner in the first place. She's also very opinionated, but so am I, so we understand each other. Another reason I've never ridden her is I thought she was too small for me; at 15'1 hands she seemed like a pony compared to the horses I rode for 15 years that were 17'2 and 16'2. However - and don't tell her I said this - she has quite a large barrel and it takes up my whole leg. It's also easier for me to mount and dismount, and let's face it, if I do hit the ground it won't be from such a lofty height as I'm used to - and fingers crossed it won't do as much damage.
Here were my two choices and I decided to ride both and see where it would lead us. So far, I've been having a good time with both of these horses. When I am able to ride again, if the weather ever clears, I'm secure in the knowledge that I made some good choices and that both horses will have a lot to teach me, we'll have fun, and we'll be safe.
Part of my little story is to show that you may not need that fancy horse and, if you're lucky you may even have the "almost" perfect horse right in your own barn or backyard and not even realize it. I gave my horses a second look and realized that, maybe they weren't the horses I'd always dreamed about, they were right for me right now.
Sure, if all you care about is competition or keeping up with the Joneses, then maybe the horse you have now isn't fancy enough or young enough or talented enough to live up to your fantasies. But the world is full of throw-away horses people got tired of or tossed aside for an upgrade, and most of the time there is probably nothing wrong with them. Every horse has something to offer if the rider is willing to stick it out or look at riding from new perspective. For most of us, that horse out in the barn, unless he's injured or retired, probably still has a lot to offer and to teach us, starting with: setting honest, realistic goals; working through problems with patience and compassion; accepting what we can't change; being responsible to those animals in our charge and; in general, being better horsemen.
Maybe it is better if we look at what we have than what we do not have. Working with those available horses instead of looking for the perfect horse somewhere else would save a lot of time and anguish because we already know them and what they are capable of doing. And maybe best of all, they are the ones who appreciate it the most.
I've come to realize that these two horses seem to appreciate all the extra attention they have been getting lately. Dusty is at the point where if we don't work for a few days, or it's too cold to groom her properly, she won't even look at me. I'm afraid she gets insulted pretty easily. That is one thing she may just have to get over herself about, until it's a lot warmer out there.
Until next time
Quote for Today
Riding is a partnership. The horse lends you his strength, speed and grace, which are greater than yours. For your part you give him your guidance, intelligence and understanding, which are greater than his. Together you can achieve a richness that alone neither can.

Starbreeze has commissioned Nordea Markets to produce a research report with the aim of providing investors with quality research on the company.
Stellar Q2 overshadowed by console delay – Updated 22 August 2018
Publishing deal bolstered profitability
The stakes are high for Starbreeze after the mixed reception at E3 and as the release of Overkill's the Walking Dead (OTWD) draws ever closer. The market was caught off guard by a console delay for OTWD, which will cause a shift in estimates, but our overall view remains the same. We argue that the upcoming release later this year holds potential but that investors should not overlook the hidden gems in Starbreeze's portfolio, which have the potential of being real blockbusters.
Record-high Q1 ahead of major game launch – Updated 11 May 2018
Publishing deal bolstered profitability
Net sales grew by 92% y/y to SEK 110m in Q1, which marks the best Q1 yet in terms of revenues. The main driver was the licensing deal for Dead by Daylight and the launch of PAYDAY 2 on Switch. We note that sales of PAYDAY 2 are mainly digital sales as retail sales are reported with a lag and will be visible in the next few quarters. The company has indicated that the sales of the physical version of the game are outperforming digital sales, which is common for games on the Switch console.
Starbreeze showed solid cost control in Q1, as costs were on a par with Q1 last year excluding revenue sharing, despite higher amortisation. Compared with Q1 2017, Starbreeze improved EBITDA to SEK 49m from SEK -35m. The main driver was the previously announced Dead by Daylight deal, which will continue improving the bottom line until the full USD 16m consideration is received.
Major inflection point ahead
We make some minor adjustments to our near-term sales estimates, primarily to reflect somewhat slowers sales of PAYDAY 2 on Switch than we had anticipated. We also assume slightly higher profitability in 2018 and 2019, as costs were significantly lower than our expectations in Q1. We also take comfort in management confirming that it will release the gameplay for OVERKILL's The Walking Dead during the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in June, in line with our expectations. Givet that Starbreeze is ramping up its marketing efforts, we believe the risk of further delays is limited.
Big in Taiwan – Updated 27 April 2018
Huge appetite for VR assets
23 April marked the first day of trading for Starbreeze's joint venture StarVR Corporation on the Taipei Exchange Emerging Stock Board. In initial trading, the share opened at TWD 69, but has experienced a tremendous run and is currently trading around TWD 120.5. StarVR has 48.2 million shares outstanding, which equates to a market cap of around SEK ~1.7bn (TWD/SEK of 3.42). This implies a value of SEK 565m for Starbreeze's 33.3% stake in the joint venture.
We make some adjustments to our estimates and valuation following the recent news flow. As Behaviour will inherit all of the costs associated with DBD, we assume higher near-term margins in Publishing, but lower future sales later in our forecast period. We also plug in the upfront payment of USD 4m into our numbers. The net effect is insignificant to our valuation. As we have previously assigned a limited value to the hardware VR sales, the inclusion of StarVR (with a 30% liquidity discount) lifts the upper and lower end of our valuation range by SEK 1.2 per share.
Challenge reality – Updated 12 March 2018
Impressions from site visit in Dubai
Last week, Starbreeze and Emaar Entertainment hosted an event to showcase its new flagship VR Park for international press. We attended the event and had the chance to try out the different experiences. Starbreeze is the main partner of the 75,000 sq ft park in the Dubai Mall, which is among the world's most visited shopping and entertainment destinations. In total, the park provides eight different attractions and a majority of these were playable with the StarVR HMD.
Overall, we were positively surprised that the concept already seems more scalable and commercially viable than we had anticipated. There were more headsets than we had expected and channel checks confirmed high utilisation. Also, when speaking to employees we got the impression that Starbreeze's attractions were among the highest rated.
Three quarters to payday – Updated 6 March 2018
The game is on
Once a niche form of entertainment, gaming has evolved into a rapidly growing industry that pulls in more revenue than the film and music industry. The global gaming market generates over USD 100bn in revenue a year, with a burgeoning player base of over two billion in 2017, many of whom are spending more on games than ever before. Video game developer and publisher Starbreeze stands poised to profit from this booming market thanks to the popular titles it has under its belt and its diversified business offering.
The chance to make a killing
We have confidence in Starbreeze's record and upcoming game releases and see the company cashing in peak sales of SEK 2.6bn over our forecast period to 2021E. It will likely make a killing from the launch of the much-anticipated OVERKILL's The Walking Dead, slated for autumn 2018, and here we expect it to shift nearly 8 million copies over the course of three years. We base our estimates on the performance of comparable game titles, franchise interest, previous sales record and market trends.
Raising its game
To combat the potential swings in earnings between major game releases, Starbreeze has broadened its operations, adding a publishing arm and investing in emerging technologies. Its games as a service approach and releases of downloadable content bolster its games' lifetime and generate substantial revenue even years after the initial game launch. This predictable revenue stream helps to de-risk the business model and will likely improve Starbreeze's earnings stability.
Based on our fundamental DCF approach and assuming a WACC of between 7.9-9.1%, we derive an equity value per share between SEK 13.8 and SEK 15.9. This implies a 2020E EV/EBIT between 5.4x-6.4x and 2020E P/E of 9.0x-10.3x.

29 reviews for Sarasa Grand Retractable Pen
I really like this pen. It writes great and I have received many compliments on it. My only 2 issues are that the ink does not last very long and the limited number of colors for refills. It only lasted a few days before it was skipping and missing. I wish there were more than the black, blue and red. A green and purple would be great. Additionally, I would like a bolder tip. Maybe a 1.0mm.
Today I purchased a Sarasa pen that was red in color, I wasn't paying attention and thought it was red ink! Is there a refill for this pen with red ink? I own a stainless steel Zebra pen in black gel and multiple stainless in regular ink. I'm a teacher and was hoping I had found a red gel Zebra pen to mark students papers with! Please help!! Thank you!
Pen writes as it should and our house hold uses Zebra products very often.
But this Sarasa Grand was new to us and I decided to buy one for my wife as a gift ( the Rose Gold is her favorite color) for her new management position at her job, she loved it the first day but the second day the pen leaked everywhere and ruined her uniform pocket and caked the pen tip and pen spring. I use the 7series everyday and even leave the pen clicked out at moments and never had this issue at all, not even once.
I would love to give this pen a better rating but it seems this is a common issue from previous reviews. Maybe someone can give me the advice if it was on our end TIA!
Ordered both the Black and the Gold. The Sleek Black for work and the Elegant Gold when I'm out and want to impress. Very smooth and Very glad I came across this awesome writing instrument.
I bought 3 pens, and a bunch of refills. I love my pens but for some odd reason, the ink isn't coming out evenly, it's very spotty. Help!!
I bought one and it has replaced every pen I have. Does Zebra pens sell a 0.5mm version?
Excellent pen. The best I've had so far at a reasonable price, without shelling out $80+ for a calligraphy pen which I have no need for in my day to day activities. Quality is 5, Drys quick 5, Cost 5, refills are reasonsably priced as well. I highly recommend this pen for anyone looking for a gel writing style that dries quick. Especially for those who are left handed and are prone to smearing their ink all over their page as they write (I'm a lefty) and this is my favorite pen I've used for this purpose by far. A+++++.
I cant believe I found the one …the pen!! LOVE THIS PEN!! KUDOS TO YOU!! I just wish you had other ink colors.
I love this pen. I'm a lefty and it does not smear. 3star because it leaks horribly at the tip.. Started After about 2 weeks of use. I'm waiting on email help from Zebra. Very frustrating because it is such a great pen, until it ruins an $80 dollar pair of scrubs. I keep it in my front chest pocket or thigh pocket.
I absolutely love these pens. They write smooth and concise, as well as having a heavy metal outer casing makes for a firm grip and an overall phenomenal pens.
The only downside is the infamous ink leaking. I have 3 of these pens and each and everyone without fail (and seemingly out of no where with no damage to the pen or ink cartridge) has leaked massive amounts of ink out of the tip after about a month of usage. I've tried cleaning them, scrubbing them, I've even tried lowering the consistency of the ink, but nothing seems to resolve this issue. I end up having to just swap out the ink cartridge and tip with any cheaper pen tip and it works fine with no leaking after that. If Zebra Pen could work towards producing a stronger, more pressure resistant tip, I would absolutely purchase more, but until then, I don't think I'll be purchasing any other Zebra Pen in the near future.
I love the pens even though they're pricey. It's by far one of the best pens I've ever written with. I've purchased several of them. I write a lot at my job. I would only use these pens if they weren't so expensive. I use these pens for my most important paperwork and I use the cheap pens for my least important paper work.

These are my favorites – though the first thing I do with them is change out the ink for blue-black, and I haven't experienced the leaking that some have. It's comfortable to hold, substantial without being too heavy, and its simple form is elegant and appealing. All I need now is the other vintage colors in refill form… (Seriously, we need those colors!)
I just love my Zebra gel pen. I have arthritis and my hands need a good heavy pen to write with. This is perfect for my use. I love the variety of colors that you can buy the barrels in. I would like to see a pretty green one to add to my pens! I wish that more of my local stores sold them as well. I bought 1 at Kinney's Drugstore and when I went back to buy more, they didn't have any more. These are my favorite pens ever!!!
Hands down the most amazing, best feeling, smoothest, and most beautiful pen I have ever written with. I've been searching for the worlds best pen not for very long and I'm kind of upset that I think I've already found it lol I now own at least 7 of these gorgeous writing instruments. I don't have the best looking hand writing but with this pen it has improved dramatically. I think the price is outrageous but I think that with the cost of everything these days so compared to other pens the price is so worth it. I've trued Parker pens for 20$ a pop I've even owned one of those 700$ pens I forgot the name but absolute crap if it wasn't for the real gold and gems on the thing I would've thrown it away lol the only other pen that can compare so far is a pentel one also metal body and ultra smooth quick drying but this one is still top dog and as for leaking I have not had that problem once whether it's in my shirt or pants pocket in my pen bag or wherever so I think this pen should have a way higher rating then it does lol keep up the good work Zebra the only thing is I cannot for the life of me find the turquoise or white ones I have all other colors hahaha so I'll be ordering them from here so if you would like to send me a coupon I'd appreciate it but don't really care either way cuz I will buy these pens as long as u sell them!!!
Definitely the best gel pen made today! Didn't make this list though!?? https://unsharpen.com/the-best-gel-pens/
Renee Alston I bought this pen and when I used it for the first time it was the best pen I had ever written with. I had it in the pocket of my $350.00 Michael Kors pocketbook and take it out this morning the ink has leaked out for whatever reason it wasn't busted or open it just leaked and ruined my handbag. I'm very disappointed.
love using the pen probably my favorite pen, but after using it for less than a day it started leaking. tried to contact support as the replies to the comments suggest but it been over a week and no reply
Great pen. I've already purchased four and have been rotating them as every day carries. I have to fill in a number of documents in my line of work and then have customers sign them. Almost every customer to whom I give one of these pens to sign an agreement with, makes a positive comment about them. I am a pen enthusiast and saw A coworker using one of these pens from a distance. I could See something different about this writing instrument. There was something about it that made it stand out from other Pens of this type. When I borrowed it to try it out I just had to have one (now 4 and still looking for more). It would be great to find one in Orange since that is our corporate color. It would also be nice if the refills were more readily available; especially that unique slate blue. I have experienced the leak issues like some of the other reviewers. I find myself occasionally checking to make sure and avoid any excess ink buildup on the tip of the refill. Possible ink leakage notwithstanding, this is still an EDC for me. I hope more colors are added to the line. I hope the design of the pen remains the same. It's great.
Pen writes great but the clip is very loose and I cannot figure out how to tighten it up..
I love this pen but when trying to find a refill for it, the one the package says to use doesn't exist. So I can not refill my pen.
Hi! Nice pen. I bought one in the USA and a pair of refills. Now Icannot find them in Spain (Europe)… so If cannot use It anymore…
Great pen….leaks tip leaks horribly though…this would be in my top 5 pens that I'm using for everyday writing if it weren't for the constant leaking of the tip. I check it constantly to see if the ink is getting on my T-Shirts and work polo shirt.
Best pen on the market!
I really love this pen. The ink is very bold, juicy and dries pretty quick. Kind of skips when writing in a swift motion but not much. I just wish there were colored refills than just the standard blue, black & red inks though.
Leaks ink badly. Pen feels good to write with though but I dont like when my scrubs get pen ink on them.
When this pen writes, the lines are bold and precise and smooth. The barrel feels good in the hand, heavy but not overbearing.
The problem comes with the tip. Perhaps I've just had a run of bad luck, but I've had two work uniform shirts ruined by two separate Sarasa Grand pens (purchased months apart and from different stores), due to the ink leaking out. It's not just a small blob, it coats the entire pen tip and cakes up the barrel and spring. Not only that, but it also seems to deposit such a large quantity of ink, that it does smudge and smear. Perhaps the ball points are out of tolerance, or the ink was formulated incorrectly, I don't know.
I like to think I take good care of my pens, as my job requires a lot of writing and legibility, but the poor performance of the ink cartridge will not allow me to recommend this pen.
It writes beautifully, when it writes as it should.
I bought one of these at Walgreens about a week ago and I absolutely love the way that it writes. But unfortunately it leaks ink from the tip CONSTANTLY and it stained one of my work shirts. I love zebra pens but I am very disappointed that this one leaks

With Windows Server 2012 comes WSUS version 6. In the WSUS Deployment Guide for Windows Server 2012, attentive readers will notice a critical change to the historical WSUS deployment strategy: "By default, in Windows Server 2012, WSUS [v6] uses port 8530. However, WSUS 3.0 uses port 80, by default." This might seem like a trivial detail to some, but if you're not careful when you're configuring your WSUS server in Windows Server 2012, you're likely to configure a server that no clients can find.
When you configure computers in your network to get their updates from a WSUS server, you provide the clients the URL for the WSUS server in a local/group policy setting. In the past, it's been sufficient to just use something like http://wsusServer since all URLs use port 80 if the URL doesn't specify anything different. This worked just fine with WSUS v3 and earlier; but now, if you don't change the default port when you configure WSUS on Windows Server 2012, you have to specify port 8530 in the URL your clients use: http://wsusServer:8530
If you neglect to change the WSUS port in either the server settings or the client URLs, your clients simply won't be able to find the new WSUS server. They'll get a 404 error, just like they would if they were trying to access a web page that's not available. What's more, if you use a third-party WSUS patch management, WSUS patching tool like SolarWinds Patch Manager, that tool won't be able to find the new server either. So, when you start testing Windows Server 2012 in your patching environment, be sure to configure the appropriate port to ensure everything plays nicely together. Patch management simplified!
For additional information about the implications of not specifying the correct WSUS port when using Patch Manager, see "WSUS v6 installs to port 8530 by default" on the SolarWinds knowledge base.

In the event of inclement weather, mechanical breakdown, or other unexpected occurrences, the Ringwood Public Schools may need to be closed during part or all of a regularly scheduled school day.
The Superintendent of Schools, after consultation with district personnel and, when necessary, borough officials, is responsible for making the decision to close the schools. This decision is never taken lightly, and is only undertaken when the safety or wellbeing of our students is at risk.
It is critical that your child's school has an up-to-date emergency contact number for you or another responsible adult. If you are unable to be home, it is extremely important that you designate someone who will be willing to care for your child in the event of an emergency closing, and discuss this plan with your child and the caregiver in advance.
When the Ringwood Public Schools will be closed, on an emergency basis, for all or part of the day, parents/guardians are notified as follows:
- Website: All emergency closings will be posted on the homepage of the district website.
- Emergency Alert Now contacts will receive a call/text though our emergency notification system. To make changes to the phone numbers you provided, please contact the secretary at your child's school.
Delayed opening start times for each school can be found on each School Hours page.

The Holders
Beyond The Holders
|Log in | Register
Holder of Identity
In any city, in any country go to any college dormitory you can get yourself into. Ask the guard at the front desk if the "Holder of Identity" is in his room. The worker will tremble slightly and inform you that he just left the building, and that you must have missed him outside.
Thank the guard and proceed outside. The scenery will have changed, and it will be a bright spring day, no matter what time you left the dormitory. You will be standing on a concrete pathway surrounded by grass, with a large fountain placed in the center. Students will be lying on the grass, laughing loudly and playing games. They will invite you to join them, but you must politely decline. If you accept they will attack, killing you in the slowest manner possible.
Your task is to find the Holder, and it will not be a difficult one. He will be wearing long black robes and his head will be covered in a hood. If you approach him and tap on his shoulder, you will get his attention. You must ask, in a calm and polite voice, "Who are the victims?" Saying anything else will cause him to remove his hood. If you are driven insane by the sight, consider yourself lucky, for it may give you some small relief from the eternity of torture facing you.
If you have done everything correctly, the Holder will begin to speak. His voice will be low and soft, but it will fill your soul with intense coldness. He will tell you of every person that has died and will die because of the Objects. He will tell you of their lives, their loved ones, and the impact their death had on the world. The calm scene around you will fade as he tells his story. The students will grow older until they die and their bodies rot, and the fountain will start flowing blood.
You will feel personally responsible for everything the Holder tells you, but you must remain impassive through all of this. This seems to be a demanding task, but after all you have been through, it may be quite easy. If you listen to the Holder without so much as a twitch, he will ask you what you intend to do with this knowledge. Smile at the Holder, and ask him, "Why ask what you already know?" The Holder will nod somberly and hand you his ID card. He will crumple into dust, and the dead bodies around you will awaken. They will be quite mad at you, as the Holder was the only thing keeping them at peace. The only way to escape this is to put on the robe the Holder was wearing. No matter what your size, it will fit you, so don't worry about that. If you manage to put it on in time, you will wake up on the grounds of the school you last attended, holding the ID card.
The ID card is Object 201 of 538. It will get you into anywhere you need to go, but beware what you find inside.

Foam Manufacturing facility offers an entire line of custom columns, moulding and different Architectural foam constructing components. Moulding and trim work shouldn't be limited to the interior of your house , as finishing touches are needed outside too. Right here, Federal crown molding adorns a sq. column and cabinetry to spotlight these structural elements. Exterior window trim must even have a windowsill, which, just like the drip cap, keeps the inside dry and blocks the weather.
See how designers are reaching recent seems to be with trim, next. Molding and trim generally is a essential part to a accomplished construction venture. While definitively different, bead and pearl mouldings are very comparable kinds of trim. Openings in walls without doorways are framed with woodwork known as "casing." This trim, which wraps from one facet of the wall to the opposite, defines the opening and protects the wall surface from scratches.
"It's a mark of distinction." Chairs rails lend a cultured look to a room, as do image moldings, where trim is used in massive squares or rectangles to imitate the look of a paneled wall. You'll be able to transform a room with molding in a weekend or less.
It isn't important, however crown molding goes a great distance in reaching outdated-home charm. Trim and molding make a robust design assertion by highlighting distinctive options and creating focal factors in rooms. They can be simple and useful, however most owners take advantage of making them ornamental to match their home windows, baseboards and trim to create a unified look.
While there are specific home designs that will not present the necessity for one of these installation, decor themes want the set up of moldings and trimmings for the over-all look to be accomplished. One other fashionable design is to use recessed panels to create a comfortable look by combining rail and stile panels after which capping them off with an ornamental shelf or rail.

Traffic may be a big problem in the Philippines, but it can be reduced once the NLEX-SLEX connector road is completed by January. This is according to Senator Grace Poe, who thinks that the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX)-South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) connector road, together with more trains operating for the Metro Rail Transit (MRT), and elevated walkways that connect buildings in urban centers, will significantly lessen traffic around the metro.
"There are things that can help traffic move faster in EDSA and Mega Manila–the completion of the NLEX-SLEX connector road, which hopefully by January will be completed," Poe said in her speech for the Business World Industry 4.0 Summit.
The eight-km, four-lane expressway is constructed to pass through Metro Manila from north to south, which can help lessen the number of vehicles plying through EDSA's roads daily.
Moreover, Poe thinks that increasing the number of operational trains running the MRT can make a big difference in relieving traffic congestion around the metro. However, plans have yet to be made regarding its implementation.
"We've been promised many times that the trains that were imported from Dalian will be working soon, but out of the 16 trains, only two or three are working after five years," Poe said.
She also added conventional walkways that link buildings in commercialized and urban centers to help lessen traffic.
"If the government would mandate that, if you build certain buildings in a financial center or a business center, you should already have elevated walkways to connect to other buildings," the senator explained.
According to her, this would be more effective than regulating transport network companies like Angkas and Grab. She added that "nothing chokes an enterprise more than excessive regulation."

THE Book of Negroes, the Conquering Lion/Out of Africa Entertainment, Canadian-South African co-production, dominated the Canadian Screen Awards, taking home 11 awards including best TV movie or limited series, three best acting awards for Aunjanue Ellis, Lyriq Bent and Shailyn Pierre Dixon, and best direction (limited series).
The South African crew was well represented by costume designer Kate Carin who won for best costume design, Robert van de Coolwyk for best production design or art direction, Philip Miller for best original music score and Derek Mansveldt for best sound.
Out Of Africa Enteratinment's Lance Samuels said: "We are extremely thrilled and proud to be recognised with so many awards at the Canadian Screen Awards. It proves once again that South African crew and cast are as good as any in the world."
The series – which was produced in association with Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and Black Entertainment Television – was filmed on location in South Africa and was an official Canadian/South African co-production. The series employed over 110 South African crew members and 70 South African actors had various acting roles in the series
Samuels, who served as executive producer on the series added: "Thanks needs to go to the Department of Trade and Industry. Without the department's continued support of the film industry, through its film and television rebate incentive, shows like this would be impossible to make in South Africa."
Samuels also thanked all the South African cast and crew that worked on the series for all their hard work and dedication to the series.
The Book of Negroes stars Academy Award, Golden Globe and Primetime Emmy winner Louis Gossett Jr., Academy Award-winner Cuba Gooding Jr., Aunjanue Ellis, Lyriq Bent and Shailyn Pierre Dixon.
It is executive produced by Damon D'Oliveira (What We Have, Lie with Me) and Lance Samuels (Strike Back, Inescapable, Bang Bang Club) from Out of Africa Entertainment. Other executive producers include Daniel Iron (Cairo Time, Away From Her). .
The Book of Negroes depicts the extraordinary life journey of Aminata Diallo, an indomitable African woman who cuts a swathe through a world that is predisposed to underestimate her.
Kidnapped by slave traders in West Africa and subsequently enslaved in South Carolina, Aminata must navigate her way through the American Revolution in New York, the isolated refuge of Nova Scotia and the treacherous jungles of Sierra Leone, before ultimately securing her freedom in England at the dawn of the 19th century.
The Book of Negroes will be available on DVD in April. For more information like the Facebook page: TheBookofNegroes

When the partnership fails
April 1, 2011
This article was written for and first featured in Accountancy Magazine
The accountancy profession generally has embraced enthusiastically the limited liability partnership business structure. The 'Big 4' all converted to LLP status soon after the LLP legislation was enacted and there has been a steady stream of conversions ever since.
Whilst most LLP's will have a comprehensively drafted members agreement, the recent case of Eaton v Caulfield and others [2011] EWHC 173 (Ch) demonstrates the pitfalls of entering into an LLP without having a written members agreement in place. As far as the authors are aware, Eaton is the first reported case dealing with the application of section 994 of the Companies Act 2006 (unfairly prejudicial conduct) and section 122 of the Insolvency Act 1986 to LLP's.
The facts
The case of Eaton involved three legal headhunters, who incorporated an LLP in 2007. The purpose of the incorporation of the LLP was to formalise their relationship, as prior to 2007 the three of them had been working together, and marketing themselves under a common brand to the outside world. Crucially, there was never a written LLP members agreement. Mr Eaton's (the Petitioner's) case was that the only express (orally) agreed terms related to profit sharing, the sharing of overheads and the way in which capital contributions were to be dealt with.
The relationship between Mr Eaton and Mr Caulfield (the First Respondent) deteriorated over time. In 2008, matters came to a head and Mr Caulfield sought summarily to expel Mr Eaton from the LLP. Mr Caulfield effected this in a number of ways: locking him out of the office; blocking his access to the IT system; removing his profile from the LLP's website; and informing clients and candidates that Mr Eaton no longer worked at the LLP. Mr Eaton had no option other than to present an unfair prejudice petition, pursuant to section 994 of the Companies Act 2006. Section 994 gives the Court an extensive jurisdiction to remedy mis-management of a company/LLP that is unfairly prejudicial to the interests of its members. The usual order, if unfair prejudice is proved, is for the petitioning member's share to be bought out by the wrongdoing members for fair value.
Finding of unfair prejudice
In Eaton, the Judge held that Mr Caulfield's expulsion of Mr Eaton was unfairly prejudicial. The basis for this decision was that there was no written members agreement and that the members had not made any express agreement as to expulsion. Regulation 8 of the Limited Liability Partnerships Regulations 2001 (the "LLP Regulations"), therefore, applied, which states that: "no majority of the members can expel any member unless a power to do so has been conferred by express agreement between the members".
The Respondents had to show that a power of expulsion was expressly agreed and the circumstances in which such a power could be exercised. An unlawful expulsion and exclusion from the business was a clear example of unfairly prejudicial conduct. Accordingly, the Court can order the Respondents to buy out Mr Eaton's interest in the LLP. Furthermore, the Judge found that there had been a complete breakdown in the relationship between the members and that Mr Eaton would be entitled to have the LLP wound up on a just and equitable basis, pursuant to section 122 of the Insolvency Act 1986.
The Judge did not agree with Mr Eaton that there was an express agreement that each individual member's capital contributions would be returned to him on departing the LLP, but made the finding that Mr Eaton was entitled to a third share of the total capital contributions on the basis that default Regulation 7(1) states that all members are entitled to share equally in the capital and profits of the LLP.
The importance of a written LLP members agreement
The key message from Eaton is that it is vitally important to have in place a written members agreement which reflects the way in which the members want the LLP to be run, and to understand that Regulations 7 and 8 (the default provisions) of the LLP Regulations will govern any matters which have not been agreed. For example, in Eaton, the members could have agreed the circumstances in which a member might be expelled, the procedure for doing so and a mechanism for the departing member's profits and capital contributions to be distributed to him. Unlike the regime applying to limited companies, the members could, by agreement in writing have excluded the operation of section 994. Even if there is no agreement to exclude section 994, if the parties have a well-drawn members agreement with which they comply, it will be more difficult for a leaving member to apply successfully to Court.
An LLP members agreement should also cover matters which are not addressed by the default provisions, including: provisions relating to the return of capital, how management decisions are to be taken (for example, whether decisions require unanimous consent or only a simple majority), whether a member is a 'contributory' in relation to the winding up of the LLP, and the extent of the duty of care owed by the members to the LLP and each other.
Litigation tactics
A supplementary novel point which arose from Eaton is the costs advantage of the petitioner making an open offer at the beginning of proceedings. The usual position is that the remaining members can protect their position in respect of the costs of litigation by making an offer of a buy-out under the principles set out in the case of O'Neill v Phillips [1999] 1 WLR 1092 (a buy-out of the petitioner's share of the LLP at fair market value). Prior to the petition being presented, Mr Eaton made an open offer to the Respondents for them to buy-out his share of the LLP, although there was no obligation upon him to do so. This offer was rejected. This led to indemnity costs (which could work out in practice at around 90 per cent of the legal fees, as opposed to around 70 per cent on the standard basis) being awarded against the Respondents for a large percentage of the trial costs.
Members Agreement – checklist
- Express power of expulsion and the grounds upon which the power can be exercised.
- Exclude the operation of section 994 of the Companies Act 2006, otherwise it will apply.
- Set out how profits and capital are to be shared, otherwise they will be shared equally.
- Describe the procedure for how management decisions are to be taken is unanimous agreement required or will a simply majority suffice to pass certain decisions?
- Explain what happens if a member leaves, including notice periods, how his/her profit share will be determined, and when his/her capital will be returned.

More than nine years, nearly five billion kilometres and we finally saw it: Pluto. Named after the Greek god of the underworld by a 10-year-old school girl, Pluto has been the underdog of the solar system, with its planetary status a cause for debate. But following the flyby of Nasa's New Horizons spacecraft week, Pluto is back to being everyone's favourite planet that's not a planet, and – naturally – social media struggled to keep up with the new memes and images.
Here are some of our favourites.

Outdoor sports enthusiasts or extreme sports lovers might miss the chance to take some nice action photos when they participate in challenging games involving speed, height and high level of physical exertion such as motorcycle racing, skateboarding, rock climbing, etc because the camera used is not strong enough or not designed for these action shots. MotionTouch has collaborated with Predator Technology to introduce a rugged, waterproof and wearable video camera, Predator VX360 that is designed particularly for these extreme sporting challenges to record their cherished memories of the game.
Predator VX360 consists of two parts: the recording unit and the eyeball camera. The recording unit can be worn on the arm while the eyeball camera is worn on a headband. The camera is 360 degree adjustable for different angles. Users can make recording via some large ergonomic buttons on the recording unit. The unit also features an integrated colour LCD screen to play back footage.
Predator VX360 helps extreme sports lovers to take great video and photo in very stringent situations which is impossible for other cameras to operate. The wearable camera is light for easy portability and to be worn around the arm and head. It is waterproof up to three meters in water, solid enough to withstand strong impact with hard objects such as rock or road, and robust enough against the abrasive effects of seawater.
Besides its rugged look and friendly design, the video quality is excellent, too. For £549.99 or $892, extreme sports lovers or adventurers can easily capture their great moments when they challenge the mighty forces of nature or their own physical limits. The video camera can record users' footage as clips or even as a single movie.

Like a dog
which is the meaning
of the Greek root for cynic
and I would like to thank
those twenty-two or four or more
year old cynics who adhere to that definition
of being one who believes that human conduct is totally motivated by self-interest
for they have shown me that I am also a cynic
but one who believes as did the ancient Greek school
of Cynic philosophers who held that Virtue
is the Only Good
and its essences are independence and self-control.
Like a dog who sniffs at the passersby
lost or hungry
affection starved
independent but longing for a change
you get mean
or you get meaning.
In other words
I am giving up
the distrust of my youth (when I knew everything
for the trust necessary for the spiritual
search for truth.
to answer those cynics
who will say that I will fail
though they will pose it as the question
what if I fail? I can only paraphrase
Monty Python
from 'The Life of Brian',
you come from nothing, you go to nothing,
so what have you got to lose?

A local tool collector of note had an 18th century lathe set up in a custom trailer, a nice mobile shop of tools from the mid 1700's. His "have lathe will travel" exhibit. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the lathe.
We drove it to a local chapter meeting of clock and watch collectors, spent about an hour removing the walls and top from the trailer and getting everything set up. Sadly, only three people came out for about 5 minutes to see the demonstration, no one wanted to try the lathe. Using a treadle lathe is an interesting exercise in coordination. I was having so much fun that Ted suggested we just stay there and I made shavings for about an hour. This handle was the result, after I finished and we packed everything up, he said ordinarily he would let me keep the handle but with the price of exotic wood etc. that he needed to keep it in the trailer. He gave me the handle on the next visit he made to our house with the copper ferrule fitted. I believe he made it from some copper tubing.
The handle sat in my bench drawer for over ten years until I decided to use it for a wire bending tool. At the time I finished it with some polyurethane varnish and have hated the way the finish looked and felt. Like plastic.
Today I sanded off the mess and applied Liberon Woodturners' Lathe Polish and am considering this project to at last be finished.
In clock repair you periodically need to make slight adjustments by bending wires in difficult to reach places. This is especially true should you be unfortunate enough to have a cuckoo clock on your bench.
Traditionally, most people make these tools from old screwdrivers.

Nice story and a beautiful handle. I can't help but wonder what it was that motivated you to work on it now after seeing it in a drawer for many years? I recently completed some projects that like yours, I have looked at, moved around for years, and finally just decided to do something about it.
