Not just the 15mm but the 16 and 18mm are seen alot on Chrysler, Jeep and most Japen made bikes and cars. 15 mm is common on suspension, 16 on brakes and 18 mm on frame attachments. When you need these singles you will pay 30 - 50% of the set's price for just one.

Bought these thinking I got a great deal, the joke was on me because it's missing a lot of important sizes, especially the 15mm which is almost 1/3 of the bolts when working on a GM car. Don't bother with this set, just buy the 22 peice set (item#47467) instead from Harbor Freight. Even the other set isn't that good, the smaller sizes are way too short to get any kind of torque on a bolt but it's just a set to have as a do-it-yourselfer not recommened for mechanic work if you'll be doing something more than twice

About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
Comments about Pittsburgh 9 Piece Metric Fully Polished Combination Wrench Set:
Everyone knows HF's tools aren't the best. I was missing one of my metric wrenches one day and decided to just but this whole set, $[$]! I've been using these for the past year, like every weekend and these are acually good wrenches. I've put very long pipes on the end of most of them for extra leverage many times without trouble. They are durable. Don't spend $200 on sn** on wrenches when you can spend pocket change for something that will last. Even if one does break, it has lifetime warrenty, they'll give you a new set for free. I still have yet to damage one of them.

Decent wrench, great price
By Gunner
from Polk City, FL
Finally made my first purchases at Harbor Freight and picked these up to fill inthe missing wrenches in my tool box. So far so good. They are a bit on the light side, lacking the weight of higher quality wrenches but seem to be well made with a nice finish. Can't beat the price!
Decent quality and a good price.
By Courtney
from Bay City, Michigan
I use these wrenches mostly for automotive repairs. After using the 17mm wrench for the first time the chrome plating started chipping off. I took the wrench back and was able to get a replacement. I saw no indication when I purchased the set the plating was in question.

no 15?
By Michael
I was so excited to buy these as my secondary set... great price and all! I get home and the first bolt I go to remove with these is a 15mm. This kit has no 15mm. They have 7mm, 11mm, and 13mm (not sure I've ever used any of thoes sizes) but they don't have a 15mm, which I've used almost as frequently as a 12mm. Good thing they're my secondary set, and my primary set contains a 15mm...Thats the only reason I give this a 4 star rating. The wrenches are somewhat longer, providing more leverage, and the included case is great! I can attach the case to my pegboard, and not have to waste using 9 pegs. Plus, if I'm working remotely (aka other side of the garage) I can carry the entire set to where I'm working and have access to all 9 wrenches at my fingertips.I was about to return these and get a different secondary set, then I realized how cheap they were, and so I just bought another set that included a 15, now I have "thirdary" metric set (if that's even a word).

Nice wrenches, nice price
By Lars
Good set of wrenches. Great finish on the tools, and so far have preformed flawlessly. Going back soon to get the SAE set.
Agree with others - Beautiful, but no 15mm?
By Stew
Strange that this set doesn't include a 15. Working on bikes or cars, requires a 15. Everything else is great - the finish is especially nice and the carrying rack is very convenient.
No 15mm Wrench? No thank you.
By Anon the Bike Mechanic
from Wilmington, NC
I work on bicycles and small engines(never at the same time, motors don't belong on bikes), so I use a lot of metric. This set is missing a couple of, if not, the most important sizes in metric. A metric set should not even be called a set if it's missing the 15mm and 19mm wrenches.

"I was like a lost moon- my planet destroyed in some cataclysmic, disaster-movie scenario of desolation- that continued, nevertheless, to circle in a tight little orbit around the empty space left behind, ignoring the laws of gravity."Bella
"I was an empty shell. Like a vacant house- condemned- for months I'd been utterly uninhabitable. Now I was a little improved. The front room was in better repair. But that was all- just the one small piece. He deserved better than that- better than a one-room, falling-down fixer-upper. No amount of investment on his part could put me back in working order."Bella
"One thing I truly knew- knew it in the pit of my stomach, in the center of my bones, knew it from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet, knew it deep in my empty chest- was how love gave someone the power to break you."Bella
"I stared at him, wishing more than anything that the future would never happen. That this moment would last forever, or, if it couldn't, that I would stop existing when it did."Bella
"Once you cared about a person, it was impossible to be logical about them anymore."Bella Swan
"I wished I could feel numb again, but I couldn't remember how I'd managed it before."Bella Swan
"Who would want to ride a motorcycle here? It would be like taking a sixty-mile-per-hour bath."Bella Swan
"It took less than half a second for me to realize that, as long as I was truly insane now, I might as well enjoy the delusions while they were pleasant."Bella Swan
"Yeah, I'll always be your friend. No matter what you love."Jacob Black
"Who's afraid of the big, bad wolf?"Jacob Black
"Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars—points of light and reason… And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn't see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything."Edward Cullen
"The fairy tale was back on. Prince returned, bad spell broken. I wasn't sure exactly what to do about the leftover, unresolved character. Where was his happily ever after?"Bella Swan
"He was my own personal sun."Bella Swan
"Time passes. Even when it seems impossible. Even when each tick of the second hand aches like the pulse of blood behind a bruise. It passes unevenly, in strange lurches and dragging lulls, but pass it does. Even for me."Bella Swan
"It didn't feel like the pain had weakened over time, rather that I'd grown strong enough to bear it."Bella Swan
""These violet delights have violent endsAnd in their triumph die, like fire and powder.Which, as they kiss, consume"Romeo and Juliet Quote in the first page of NEW MOON
"Love, life, meaning....over"Bella
"Option one: I was crazy. That was the layman's term for people who heard voices in their heads. Possible."Bella
"Does my being half naked bother you?"Jacob Black
"Forbidden to remember, terrified to forget; it was a hard line to walk."Bella
"Your hold is permanent and unbreakable. Never doubt that."Edward Cullen
""So, you're the vampire girl."I stiffened. "Yes. Are you the wolf girl?"Emily Young and Bella Swan,
"I couldn't feel anything but despair until I pulled into the familiar parking lot behind Forks High School and spotted Edward leaning motionlessly against his polished silver Volvo, like a marble tribute to some forgotten pagan god of beauty."Bella Swan
"I want to know if Edward left you alone out there in the middle of the woods."Charlie Swan
"You're only a senior once. Might as well document the experience."Alice Cullen
"What I enjoy the very most is when my… enhanced abilities let me save someone who would otherwise have been lost. It's pleasant knowing that, thanks to what I can do, some people's lives are better because I exist. Even the sense of smell is a useful diagnostic tool at times."Carlisle Cullen
"Don't worry. You're human-your memory is no more than a sieve. Time heals all wounds for your kind."Edward Cullen
"Sometimes kismet happens."Bella Swan
"I have to step out for a second. Don't do anything funny while I'm gone."Emmett Cullen
"Forbidden to remember, terrified to forget; it was a hard line to walk."Bella Swan
"Did you know that 'I told you so' has a brother, Jacob? His name is 'shut the hell up.'"Bella Swan
"It sounded like you were having Bella for lunch, and we came to see if you would share."Alice Cullen
"I think she's having hysterics. Maybe you should slap her."Alice Cullen
"This hostage stuff is fun."Alice Cullen
"You know, Edward, as a brother, you are somtimes a disappointment."Alice Cullen
""I'll play your for it. Rock, paper, scissors." "Why don't you just tell me who wins?""I do. Excellent.""Alice Cullen, Edward Cullen
"Well, I'm nearly a hundred and ten. It's time I settled down."Edward Cullen
"You want me to let go of the grenade?"Isabella (Bella) Swan
"Because there was just one thing that I had to believe to be able to live - I had to know that he existed. That was all. Everything else I could endure. So long as he existed."Isabella (Bella) Swan
"Time passes. Even when it seems impossible. Even when each tick of the second hand aches like the pulse of blood behind a bruise. It passes unevenly, in strange lurches and dragging lulls, but pass it does. Even for me."Isabella (Bella) Swan
"And then, as clearly as if I were in immediate danger, Edward's velvet voice whispered in my ear."Be happy," he told me."Edward
""What a stupid lamb.""Bella
""What a murderous lion.""Edward

That's it. We've washed our hands of the first decade of the new millennium, and we're rolling full steam ahead into the new one.
2009 flew by, but not before it dropped off several packages to us. There was a great deal of change happening last year, and a lot of people that were involved in making that happen. From moving forward from the "food dessert" problem of North Tulsa to gaining a new ball club with a familiar face, we definitely saw some highs and lows that we went over last week. (Check out "Best and Worst of 2009" at urbantulsa.com). So this week, we're looking ahead to the new and with that we have our Hot 100 list for 2010.
These people, groups and organizations have been doing some moving and shaking in the past decade, but we're sure to see them really stand out in 2010 and future years.
This year's Hot 100 features a ton of familiar and some probably less familiar faces for us to get to know. With the limit being at 100, there's also some that didn't make it onto the printed list but are far from forgotten for their contributions. We all know who they are.
These are the faces that we need to keep an eye on this year forward. Our city has come a long way, and there's no going down from this point, only up. Whether you realize it or not, these people and others shape how the next decade and so on will be in Tulsa. So, no matter whether you don't think they contribute or not, here's UTW's Hot 100 for 2010.
Kevin Stephens, owner of the building that once housed Temple Israel. Stephens is dedicating himself and his building to a more sustainable way of life. Recently, the landscape, interior and urban design firm president teamed up with Land Legacy and Sustainable Tulsa in order to form a project that would build a regional center for conservation and sustainability. Can't wait to see this unveil this year. Any time we can save another historic old building all the better.
Clark Wiens, President and Co-Founder of Circle Cinema. Although the popular film institution is still collecting funds for its rehabilitation efforts, we commend Wiens foresight and determination to keep it open and moving forward.
Maria Barnes, District 4 City Councilor. Constituents granted a second chance to Barnes who held the District 4 seat from 2006 to 2008 before being defeated by former City Councilor Eric Gomez. Good luck but be a little more sophisticated when you go against the grain this time.
Herb Beattie, chairman of the Bark Park Task Force. Herb Beattie and his crew for Bark Parks have been making strides with opening more parks for our four-legged friends. Last year goes to the dogs.
The People Who Run the Local Farmers Markets. We love farmers and we love markets, so naturally, we love farmers markets. Here's to the freshest fruits and vegetables in town.
Jamie Jameson, partner with The Village Builders. The brownstone that has been coming up at 8th and Peoria near downtown? It's the handiwork of many projects that Jameson is involved in. Moreover, he's involved throughout the community such as being on the Tulsa Symphony Orchestra board of directors. Cosmopolitan, progressive, imaginative and just a darn good guy.
Chris Medlock, politician, media celeb. This guy had a very active last year as going from afternoon radio host to podcast host to mayoral candidate. He's worn more hats than the Mad Hatter. We are looking forward his return to the body politick.
Elliot Nelson, entrepreneur. "Mr. Pub" has played his role in helping to revitalize downtown, especially the Blue Dome District. With new pubs and bars opening left and right, Nelson keeps striking the right chords, now, with a bowling alley being his next venture downtown.
Starr HardGrove, founder of Enchanted Grove Films and Tulsa Creative Network. Hardgrove has been a long-time staple of the film community--whether it be in acting, directing or producing. His latest product, Why I Love Tulsa, has taken him on a journey to show Tulsa and the affections for it in a different light. Keep pushing the local angle, Hardgrove.
Bruce Ramsay, Oilers Coach. In his first season with the Oilers, Ramsay has the team sitting above .500 on the season. Let's see if he can help the team secure its first playoff berth since 2005.
Brian Grimm, 2009 Oklahoma Teacher of the Year. We're still not sure of why the state's (heck, the city's) best teacher is prancing around on a statewide tour--leaving several TPS students with a substitute teacher--but he deserves a thumbs-up as the first TPS teacher to have won since 1963.
The Ladies of Eye Candy Burlesque. The teasing temptresses celebrated three years together in 2009 and walked away with two awards at last year's Absolute Best of Tulsa. Looking ahead, the group's local performance schedule might go down, but the girls are never too far from our hearts.
Snyder Family, Mayo Hotel owners. Thanks to this local family, the historic downtown hotel made its grand reopening in September with boutique hotel and lofts, bar, restaurant and special events room.
George Kaiser, businessman, The Kaiser Family Foundation. Thanks for all of your genuine concern and contributions to the city.
Ann Tomlins, art teacher, arts coordinator and arts volunteer. Tomlins has been one of the leading advocates around Tulsa for keeping fine arts in Tulsa Public Schools. Last year, she organized the Fine Arts Advisory Board to find out the district's needs and enlist support from the community. We don't expect anything to slow down in the upcoming year.
918moms.com. A one-stop spot for moms in T-Town, this Web site has coupons (including the "Coupon Queen"), contests, event listings and other things to help make moms' lives easier.
Todd Cunningham, founder of GarageMedia. Marketing guru who took Tulsa Ballet to new heights of community involvement and exposure, Cunningham really made some high strides this past year. Not only did he help UTW put on the Absolute Best of Tulsa awards, but he also did A Rocky (Horror) Halloween, which brought a long-awaited Halloween Street party to the Brady District. Plus, he started his own company GarageMedia. What's he gonna do next?
Blake Ewing, owner of Joe Momma's. His new, downtown lunch and late night location has flourished. And although it all began next to a mini-golf course, Ewing's success is far from miniature.
Shelby Navarro, architect and developer. Everything is popping up green around Tulsa when it comes to designs by architect and developer Shelby Navarro. She's been designing environmentally friendly buildings and working on a development in the Pearl District, too.
Howard Barnett, OSU-Tulsa President. Since moving into his new role as president a few months ago, the former businessman and gubernatorial chief of staff has been preparing to set goals and shift gears for the satellite campus to make it The City's Public University. We can't wait to see his ideas in action.
Elizabeth Wright, Tulsa Metropolitan Area Planning Commission Commissioner. After battling Tulsa County Commissioner Karen Keith's petition to be taken off of the commission last year, Wright impressed us with her spunk in the face of Tulsa's status quo. Now, let's see what she does with it as one of our favorite populists.
Mary Fallin, U.S. Representative. Currently, she's serving the citizens of Oklahoma in Washington D.C., but we're betting to see her on the campaign trail for governor throughout 2010.
Matt Moffett, Tulsa Girls Art School. With all of the issues surrounding fine arts in the schools, it's nice to recount the art efforts made outside of the public school system.
Larry Mocha, President/CEO of Air Power Systems Company. Mocha had a big year in being a local entrepreneur. Not only did he capture the state title of small business champion, but he was also named one of four U.S. regional Solveras/NFIB Small Business Champions for 2009. Congratulations and keep pushing forward in the company. Hey, how about helping us create more jobs?
Matt and Diama Norris. This husband and wife duo has teamed up to try to bring a MIT Fab Lab to Tulsa, which would allow for the study of how content of information relates to physical representation.
Susan Neal, Director of Community Development and Education for City of Tulsa. Starting with a go-fer job making the best of a now defunct Downtown Tulsa Unlimited, she has found her way through several mayoral terms, staying on as an insider currently in the administration of new Mayor Dewey Bartlett.
Shannon Wilburn and Daven Tackett, Just Between Friends. Even through a tough recession, moms are proving resilient. Wilburn and Tackett started their local business as a way to earn a little extra money by having consignors. Now, the business has grown and expanded to other states across the country and hasn't slowed down.
Corey McIntyre, General Manger of Talons. The former general manager for the Tulsa Oilers seems to have changed hats to the right sport: arena football. The Talons almost went all the way, finally losing in the championship game, but chances sound good for this season with McIntyre behind the hash marks.
SMG Management Team-Tulsa. The BOK Center has certainly raked in a great deal of ticket sales, great entertainment and wonderful honors in its first year as a major entertainment venue in Tulsa. The reason behind it? Tulsa has been starving for top flight entertainment for decades and these guys know it.
Natasha Ball, blogger. Don't know what to do this week or what are some good places in Tulsa? Tashadoestulsa.com has the info, 411 and 911(?) to help get you through. Natasha Ball also won a 2008 Okie Blog Award for Best Culture Blog last year.
Randy Miller, owner of Church Studio. Kudos to Miller for reopening Church Studio, once the heart of the Tulsa Sound and providing an intimate venue for recording live performances.
Stars Go Dim. After releasing its debut album, Love Gone Mad, this past year and serving as a supporting act for John Mayer, O.A.R. and Guster, Stars Go Dim promises to be the next big pop act to break out of Tulsa. A sold-out CD release isn't the real story, though. Great songs, national recognition, an opening spot on Mayer's Mayercruise and song placement in Hollister stores and on Delta in-flight nationwide tell you all you need to know: It's only a matter of time.
Dan Winders, entrepreneur and musician. Winders has his hand in several pots, and they all smell pretty rosy. As a businessman, Winders owns Blueview Inc. and has been CEO of Fireant/Halo. In music, his band, Okie Down still has it in them to turn out a good crowd.
Doug Dodd, lawyer. When the Tulsa World head honchos got a brickle in their britches last year over the opinions of a columnist in UTW regarding their daily's circulation, they sued us and made themselves a laughing stock in the community and nationwide, especially among media analysts. But it took the leadership of UTW's publisher Keith Skrzypczak and Mr. Dodd's expertise in First Amendment law to convince the "evil former empire" of their folly and to retreat.
GJ Kinne, TU quarterback. This Texas transfer impressed coaches and fans after winning the starting job in the preseason and throwing for 22 touchdowns this year as a sophomore. Hopefully, Kinne can continue to improve and help TU rebound after a down year.
Keith Ballard, superintendant of Tulsa Public Schools. So far, so good. Before, we looked forward to how you would spruce up the school system. Now, we see that you've been bringing in Teach for America teachers, and we're happy that you've been holding the district together with all of the budget cuts and layoffs.
Jim Mautino, District 6 city councilor. Welcome back! Like his colleague Maria Barnes, after losing a term last election cycle, Mautino has recaptured his seat for another term on the City Council. He's got his sights set on fixing roads and the Public Works department, too.
Marc Matheos, owner of Crystal Pistol and The Marquee. As the main-man behind both The Marquee and Crystal Pistol, Matheos has become a key player in the revival of the Brady District club scene by bringing us a couple of great clubs on Main Street throughout the past two years.
Tom Dittus, Swamphouse Partners LLC. If you've been keeping up with recent developments, the rumors are true. Tom Dittus is reopening the Blue Rose Café this year on the east bank of the Arkansas River. By the end of last year, he opened a satellite location called Elwood's, which would serve cold beer and other drinks, along with a light menu that includes soups, chili, bagels and deli sandwiches.
Chris Girouard, founder of Girouard Winery. This local boutique winery owner seems to be offering a great deal more than grapes off of the vine. Last year, he kicked off his Tulsa Deco Label Series, and the second wine of the series, Westhope, won him the Oklahoma State Wine Championship.
Route 66 Alliance. This is a locally grown organization that is serving as the anchor for a national headquarters and body for all things dealing with Route 66. Last year they were just getting started, let's see how they warm up in the New Year.
Casey Stowe, banker, chairman of the Tulsa Economic Development Corporation. Stowe's nonprofit organization promotes and sustains small business growth in Tulsa and has played a great role in supporting the North Tulsa grocery store incoming as well as the retail development in North Tulsa.
O.C. Walker II, TDA executive director. In his first full year at his new job, Walker has his hands full with tons of land and a long laundry list of inherited problems.
Dr. Mark Rutland, Oral Roberts University president. Less than a year into his presidency, the school is debt-free, and they're looking ahead to sustain their budget and reaffirm the original mission of the late founder, Oral Roberts.
Micha Alexander, founder of Maverick Machine. Who says Oklahoma graduates aren't giving back to their communities? TU alum Micha Alexander has used all of his own money -- not a single grant or government loan -- to develop a series of street-level businesses and loft apartments, which are affordable and downtown. That's innovation.
Sean Griffin, chairman of the Mayor's Entrepreneurial Spirit Award and the Collaboratorium. This California transplant has made a splash in Tulsa by recognizing area entrepreneurs and their solid business models. By helping develop the Collaboratorium, Griffin has provided fledgling businesses a chance to succeed.
Tulsa City-County Library. Amidst the economic downturn, one place (or places, really) has continued to provide a free source of entertainment for Tulsans. For this, we salute you, in spite of leadership issues which we think you have corrected.
MMA Fighting. Mixed martial arts have become what boxing hasn't in the past few years: successful. As its following grows larger and larger and its events become bigger and bigger, MMA is beginning to entrench itself in the world of combat sports.
Damen Banks, Swahill Studios. This music producer has dedicated his time and studio to provide the technical expertise to enable up-and-coming local artists make it to the next level. His studio is doing big things, and they need to be checked up on in 2010.
Mayor Dewey Bartlett. As the new top gun of town, he's already got a lot on his plate with PLANiTULSA, budget configuring and a new feisty City Council. Good luck and we'll be watching very closely.
Pearl District Association. This near-downtown neighborhood has been keeping quite busy to improve its neighborhood. It's working on a $60 million flood-control project that would transform the area with two large lakes and a canal running down 6th Street. It also sponsors the Pearl District Association Farmers Market each summer. Maybe busy is a little light for this organization.
Catholic Charities. The local help organization made a $22 million leap last year to continue its goodwill quest to help others by moving from its former long-time location on Denver Ave. to its new home at 2450 N. Harvard Ave. Hopefully, the new campus will serve more people more efficiently in this economy, the brunt of which is felt most by the poor.
Keith Skrzypczak, Founder, Editor and Publisher of Urban Tulsa Weekly. Where would anyone in the city be without the cutting edge, groundbreaking coverage of this alternative newsweekly? For that, we salute you Mr. Skrzypczak.
PDA, hip-hop artist. Local hip-hop phenom PDA definitely got his fill around town last year as he was a multiple nominee for the ABoT awards, released his third album and hosted an annual holiday party. We might not see him around T-Town for awhile as he moves to Los Angeles, but the music will be in our hearts and ringing in our ears for some time.
Downtown Condos. With several downtown condos and loft projects in the works, this is a shout-out to all of those developers for moving the initiative forward to get more living downtown.
Chuck Lamson, Drillers owner. Kudos to Lamson for having the savvy to play the politics and move the Drillers downtown. If it pays off, he might find himself on this list again next year.
Jeremy Green, founder of Real Time Rehab. Improving the exercises and education of physical therapy patients at home got a big boost this past year. Green was awarded the 2009 Mayor's Entrepreneurial Spirit Award to the tune of $30,000 for his company's purpose of providing personalized physical therapy programs for patients to follow at home on DVD.
Ben Sumner, Up Late with Ben Sumner. As host of the city's only late-night talk show, Sumner provides Tulsans with 30 minutes of variety every Saturday night and proves to be a positive promoter for T-Town. He's passionate about his city, and it shows.
Doug Bauer, associate of Bauer & Associates Realtors. It's got to be one hard sell, the commercial real estate business these days, but the Bauer name is on a great many properties around town and we expect that once the economy turns around, this name will be gold in the Central City.
Jake Thompson, Idol Time Tattoo and Downtown Lounge owner. As the owner of Idol Time Tattoo, Thompson saved his earnings and reinvested them into buying the old Deadtown Tavern and re-opening it as Downtown Lounge. The lounge has a lighter, more laid-back atmosphere and live music on alternating weekends. A true example of small businessmen reinvesting in Tulsa and urban renewal.
Mark Perkins, former mayoral candidate. The young independent representative ran an impressive campaign in 2009 and mounted quite the number of supporters. He didn't win a battle, but he's planning on taking on a much larger war for 2010.
Judy Ward, Marketing Manager, Philbrook Museum. Ward has really been instrumental to building a repertoire between the community and Philbrook Museum. From this year's vegetable garden to other projects, Ward and Philbrook are definitely stepping it up.
Jeremy Lamberton, director, executive producer of Biker Fox documentary. It takes real ingenuity and perseverance to make a flick about the wildly animated and hardcore advocate Biker Fox. Enough said.
Tony Henry/Greg Hughes, owners of Full Moon, In the Raw and new Wolfgang Puck Restaurant. This dynamic duo has brought great eateries to the town and now, in 2010, they're opening a Wolfgang Puck restaurant on Brookside to add to their growing restaurant franchise.
Nolan Richardson, WNBA head coach. Big whoop that the WNBA makes its debut at BOK Center this year. The team's got Nolan Richardson back in T-Town, and he'll only elevate the town's only major league ball club.
Urban Tulsa Weekly Staff. But of course. We're The Event. Every week, we provide innovative covers, stimulating design and mind-opening content that you just can't get anywhere else.
Roscoe Turner, District 3 City Councilor. Surprise, surprise. Like his political counterparts, Roscoe Turner returns to the city council for his second term, too. Does anyone recognize a growing trend here?
Kyla Holderness, Candy Bar and Empire Bar owner. When this girl with the golden touch isn't busy with her small bar domain, she is a very visible leader of the Pet Adoption League. She's been a huge philanthropist in helping our furry, cuddly friends find a place to call home.
Eric and the Adams. After the release of the band's self-titled debut EP late in 2009, we imagine things will only get bigger and better for Eric Himan, Angel Adams and Jimmy Adams.
Executive Chef Neill Bailey, Mayo Hotel. Along with the renovation of the Mayo come the culinary makings from the renowned Chef Bailey. He's mixing it up in the Trula restaurant with a signature seared sea bass and lobster macaroni and cheese. Don't be surprised to hear more about him in this new year.
Preston Doerflinger, city auditor. Taking the place of 21-year incumbent Phil Wood doesn't promise to be an easy feat. Yet, fresh ideas and concepts could get the city on track to run more efficiently. Your move, Doerflinger. Just make sure you count all the beans.
Dawn Welch, owner of Rock Café. Welch took the historic Rock Café and revamped and restored to its old stylings in Stroud, Okla. Let's keep building Tulsa as the belly button behind the belt girding our nation's romantic memory.
Michael Bates, blogger. Love him, hate him, wonder why he does it, you can't help but be fascinated by this singular dynamo. He's got history, insight and an almost perfect research machine in his mind at HYPERLINK "http://batesline.com"; \t "_blank" batesline.com.
The Round Up Boys. This band of old locals have returned to old stomping grounds with Nelson's Buffeteria reopened. The boys are turning up the volume on the live music scene at Nelson's for a great meal and musical dessert.
William Franklin, founder of Decopolis. Tulsa has never had a place to celebrate its signature Art Deco architecture. Thanks to Franklin, that's about to change. It's about time.
Mothers Group, Inc. Celebrating 20 years in 2009, the group every year has hosted the Santa Project at the Greenwood Cultural Center where children are able to meet and take photos with Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus. Here's to 20 more and more.
J.K. Warren, CEO of the William K. Warren Foundation. J.K. has a lot of his grandfather in him what with all of the charitable endeavors in which he participates. He appears to channel the altruism and generosity of late, great oilman in more ways than one. Chairman of the board for St. Francis Hospital, his family started the William K. Warren Research Foundation and the Warren Clinic.
Miranda Kaiser, owner of Cosmo Café. The well-known local joint made big moves in 2009 by uprooting from its former location on Memorial Drive to a new Brookside location. The move paid off, as more and more have been frequenting the out-of-this-worldly joint.
Ben Uzoh and Jerome Jordan, TU basketball duo. This dynamic duo is trying to help TU accomplish something it hasn't done since 2003--win a conference championship. With these two leading the way, the Golden Hurricane might once again be dancing come March.
Scott Smith, founder of Blue Jackalope. Not only has Smith kept busy as the owner of a small neighborhood grocery near downtown, he's also been a very outspoken advocate in the fight against the city's "food deserts." Keep feeding us information, Scott!
Marriott Courtyard. With the opening of the Mayo Hotel last year, this new hotel should make a splash for 2010. It's in a good location (Atlas Life Building) and will be able to help with visitors to the downtown area.
Jim McDermott, owner of Magoo's. McDermott has reinvented Magoo's from its concept as a classy billiard hall to an uber-classy live music venue. Now, he's in the process of opening McDermott's as a phase of the River Walk opening this spring.
Dr. Bob Blackburn, Oklahoma Historical Society executive director. Here's hoping Blackburn can get the Oklahoma Pop Museum off the ground and raise it up in downtown Tulsa.
Jack Frank, documentarian. This off-beat filmmaker has made a business of himself by supplying us with films about the city. His latest documentary, Tulsa A to Z, runs down the history of Tulsa through the alphabet, and he's also well-known for collecting olds films of Tulsa and using them in his films.
Antonio Perez, North Tulsa Grocery Store owner. When Albertson's left town, a grocery void was left in North Tulsa. Perez, who already owns four groceries, is helping to fix that by opening Gateway Market this month.
Eric Marshall, local business owner. Getting a local brewery up and running might be a piece of cake, but landing on a list where your beer is one of the top 50 brews in the nation--not so much. Cheers to Marshall's Brewery beers! Keep it up.
Kathy Taylor, former Tulsa Mayor. She might be out of office and sight, but she's definitely not out of mind. We were skeptical at first, but you proved yourself to the city and to us as a public servant in the truest sense. You had quite a few accomplishments and proved yourself to be a great leader, so we're sure you'll do well in your new position as Gov. Henry's Chief of Education strategy.
Bill Watts, WWE Hall of Fame inductee. The "Cowboy" was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2009. Not too shabby for a man who made a living doing something called the Oklahoma Stampede to other large men.
Downtown Rotary Club. This "service above self" organization has flown under the radar around the community, but they keep shaking things up down along S. Boulder. Their weekly program lineup features some of the city's most appositional movers and shakers, from Bok's George Kaiser to UTW's Keith Skrzypczak. We appreciate its open-mindedness and genuine love for Tulsa.
Dr. Teresa Reed, Barthelmes Conservatory and University of Tulsa music professor. Dr. Reed has been listed as an expert for reading the Music Theory Subject Test of the Graduate Record Exam as well as for advanced placement. She's also specializes in speaking on a local, national or international level regarding African American music. We can dig that.
Lisa Regan, Garden Deva Sculpture Company. The popular sculpture company made a huge mark this past year by designing the menorah for the 2009 Hannukah stamp, which was commissioned by the United States Postal Service and sold around the country.
Terry Simonson, Mayor Dewey Bartlett Chief of Staff. This isn't the first time around the political block for Simonson. He's served in Tulsa County government for the past few years as well as served in two past mayoral administrations, under Jim Inhofe and Dick Crawford.
Dave Bryant, local insurance agent. For more than 40 years now, the Dave Bryant Insurance Agency has been one of the oldest and one of the largest insurance companies in Tulsa. Founded by his father, local insurance guru Dave Bryant continues to provide the same service with other tidbits to the community.
Chad Oliverson, Dr. Frank N. Furter from Rocky Horror Picture Show. Oliverson delighted Tulsa crowds with his performance in Rocky Horror bringing out the best of both worlds--literally--in his portrayal.
Tulsa Rock Ensemble. They made their mark at the Absolute Best of Tulsa Awards last summer with a jaw-dropping performance. Looking to the future, we hope to see a debut album and more performances spring up for them.
Ken Clifford, President of Clifford Power Systems. To say that the weather in Oklahoma can be rough is definitely an understatement. Predicting the weather is impossible, but preparing for it is another thing. Ken and crew are ready to generate some electricity when the going gets tough.
Jerry Slack, president of Jack Slack Company LLC. For more than 15 years, Slack has been designing golf courses nationwide from offices in Tulsa. He's into more than building sand traps, though. Indeed, his love for his home city inspired him to call UTW's Publisher 10 years ago to float the idea of a new Drillers Stadium downtown--at the very location it is being built at this time. To him and others with foresight like him, UTW readers all, we tip our hats.
Jeremy Charles, photographer. This man continues to inspire oohhs and aahhs among our readers. Indeed, his work has been featured in this publication as well as many others throughout the state--and for good reason. He's good. Really good.
David Rutkauskas, Founder, President and CEO of Beautiful Brands. This locally based company made some great strides last year in helping to being the franchising process for more local companies, such as Crusty Croissant and Caz's Chowhouse, with -- what looks like -- even more to come this year. Local companies growing outside of state borders? Awesome.
Matt Donovan, University of Denver hockey player. Although he's from Edmond and really hasn't been living in Oklahoma since he was 14, still, we are adopting him as an honorary citizen and example to all over-achievers who dream big dreams following their muse to overcome huge odds to succeed. Come on, an Okie in the NHL? It might happen. He's a top prospect for the NHL draft, and he's made headlines on the U.S. National Junior Team.

Bose QuietComfort 15 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones
" I purchased these because my Sennheiser PXC450 were getting too big to carry around once I purchased a larger netbook. So this review is more a comparison of it and the QC15.

In St. Louis, freezing rain is predicted to fall on top of a thin layer of snow, which will have "a significant impact on travel," the National Weather Service warned.
North of where the most snow will fall, Chicago could receive as much as 6 inches, CNN's Sarah Dillingham said. The city is running 15 inches below its average snowfall for the season.
Southern downpours
Severe thunderstorms moving in from the Gulf of Mexico are expected to bring 2 to 6 inches of rain to New Orleans and Montgomery, Alabama, according to CNN's weather center, before rolling up toward Atlanta.
The torrential rains could lead to significant river flooding, as flood watches are still in effect from last week's heavy rains.
Heavy winds, hail and tornadoes are possible, the National Weather Service said. Downpours are expected to continue into Friday.
Desert dwellers stunned
On Wednesday, the winter storm system left a rare thin layer of snow across the deserts of Arizona, New Mexico and southern California as far south as the border with Mexico.
"I've been here for over 10 years and I've never seen it snow like this," Kayla Avery of Tucson, Arizona, said in a CNN iReport, which came with a video of the snowfall.
"There is more snow on the ground in Tucson today than I have seen in over 30 years living here," Carrie Tucker said in another iReport.
Mona Jensen of Dolan Springs, Arizona, posted photos of her 8-acre property blanketed by snow.
Katie June in Yucca Valley, California, shared a shot of a snow-covered cactus.
"Some of the larger ones are having a hard time," she wrote. "But they all enjoy the drink!"
Joan Dedmon in Tuscon, Arizona, also found snow on cacti and shared a picture of a snow-covered birdfeeder. She said it confused the hummingbirds who were trying to get a meal before dark.

Van Baerlestraat 27
1071 AN Amsterdam
The Netherlands
129 rooms and suites
Daniel Knuttel
Piero Lissoni
Luxury, heritage and lifestyle this is what you will find at the Conservatorium Hotel Amsterdam! First designed by revered Dutch architect Daniel Knuttel at the turn of the 19th century, the Conservatoriums iconic structure served as a major bank for 77 years before becoming Amsterdams premier music conservatory from 19832003. Intrigued by its architecture and past, owner Georgi Akirov bought the property in 2008, bringing in famed Italian designer Piero Lissoni to revitalize the building with a meticulous restoration. Today, the Conservatorium Hotel Amsterdam offers a vibrant, contemporary atmosphere while embracing the buildings and citys history.
Its almost like Draculas castle, Lissoni says. The atmosphere inside is quite dark and I tried to respect this darkness. However, I made the interior completely modern, without any level of compromise.
One of the more unique touches is a courtyard covered entirely in glass, which is indicative of much of the hotels design, creating a wonderful contrast between the old and the new, between the classic and the modern. Music also plays a big part in the hotels aesthetic and connects the buildings past with its present.
Each public space maintains its own distinctive ambience, and that differentiation carries through into the music, says Georgi Akirov, the managing director of the luxury hotel collection The Set, which owns the Conservatorium. The repertoire is varied, eclectic and carefully selected, not only by venue, but also according to time of day, occasion, mood and other factors.
Although most of the musical selections will be classical to honor the buildings history, other styles will be well represented. For instance, there is a rock n roll suite where guests can play DJ and experiment with a special lighting system.
The style of architecture in Amsterdam is very narrow and very high, Lissoni says. In the duplexes, there is a studio with a bathroom, desk and sofa on the first floor, and a bed and another bathroom on the second floor. In each room I put in different colors, some are dark gray, some are a special reds, special browns, and blues. We are working with a different coat of colors inside each room plus classical Italian travertine stone.

Ticket Issues Latest Worry for Harried SEA Games Organizers
Wimbo Satwiko | November 04, 2011
When Vietnam and the Philippines kicked off the football competition of the Southeast Asian Games on Thursday, the sea of empty seats raised eyebrows among organizers and fans.
While the official attendance for the Group B opener was announced as 2,000, barely 400 spectators were in the stands to watch Vietnam's 3-1 win. In the second match, in which Burma edged Laos 3-2, less than 100 Burmese fans and about 300 security officers were present.
Rachmat Gobel, director general of the SEA Games organizing committee (Inasoc), said after the matches that time was too tight to sell more tickets.
"The schedule was changed and it wasn't possible to prepare tickets with such a tight deadline for the opening game," he said on Thursday. "Fortunately, Indonesia didn't play on Day 1. It would've been a big loss for us if Indonesia played."
Instead, limited tickets costing Rp 25,000 ($2.80) were sold.
Despite an uninspiring start, Rachmat said he was confident Inasoc could provide tickets for the opening and closing ceremonies and for every event.
Tickets are available online at Rajakarcis, but fans have complained about difficulties in exchanging their vouchers for actual tickets. They have also complained about changing prices.

Want to ask, when the draw for team and individual event are gonna be held?
anyone know? Thanks
GreyMel withdrew at last minute and give their spot to Anneke/Nitya. It's a right decision, Greys still affected by injury from Final Taipei GP Gold. they lost from unseeded pairs in Denmark SSP and French SS. Anneke/Nitya is in good form, this will make Greys recovery faster hopefully. They are in top game when Greys got the injury, almost beat top KOR WD. It's really unfortunate.

SEA Games torch finally arrives in Palembang
Having been paraded across the country during the last two weeks, the SEA Games torch arrived in Palembang on Monday morning. The South Sumatran city is its final destination.
The torch, leaving Jakarta on Saturday evening, reached Palembang via Musi River on board the Tunas Wisesa 3 ship.
The torch arrived in the South Sumatra capital at about 5 a.m., with former badminton player Icuk Sugiarto scheduled to deliver the torch to South Sumatra Governor Alex Noerdin at Boom Baru Port in Palembang at midday.
The torch will be paraded around Palembang by 36 runners from South Sumatra, before being stationed at the Jakabaring Sport City complex, where the 26th Games will be officiated.
The torch was lit from an eternal flame in Merapen, Central Java, on Oct. 23, before being paraded from Borobudur Temple in Central Java, to Yogyakarta, Semarang, Komodo Island in East Nusa Tenggara, Jayapura, Makassar, Balikpapan, Samarinda and Jakarta.

Badminton team makes last minute change
Niken Prathivi, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Tue, 11/08/2011 11:24 PM
The Indonesian badminton team has made a change to its squad members just a few days before the beginning of the 26th Southeast Asian (SEA) Games, citing declining performances among squad members.
The team's coach for mixed doubles, Richard Maenaky, confirmed that he had replaced world No. 9 duo, Fran Kurniawan and Pia Zebadiah, with the world's No. 21 pair, Muhammad Rijal and Debby Susanto.
"I had to make the decision because Pia and Fran failed to show solid cooperation between them," Richard said on the sidelines of a media and athletes gathering in Jakarta on Monday, referring to their poor performance in the Denmark Open and France Open.
"They started to blame each other. OK, I thought, that's it. My job is not only to handle them; I have other pairs to focus on," Richard said, referring to world No. 4 Tontowi Ahmad-Liliyana Natsir and Rijal-Debby.
Frans and Pia were reportedly eliminated from the Games' squad on Oct. 25 following their defeat in the first round of both the Denmark and France Open tournaments recently. Richard has a trial plan for the pair: to separate them for the upcoming Macau Open on Nov. 29-Dec. 4. Frans will be paired with Shendy Puspa Irawati, while Pia's partner is still undecided.
The decision has triggered Pia to resign from the badminton national training camp.

Taufik too old, Simon not world class
Unsure if they can win men's singles gold, Hartono says Indonesian badminton is in crisis
by Low Lin Fhoong
04:46 AM Nov 09, 2011
JAKARTA - Twenty years ago, anyone who said the day would come when Rudy Hartono would admit uncertainty over whether Indonesia could win the men's badminton singles on home turf at a SEA Games, would have been deemed crazy.
The badminton legend is arguably the greatest player in the history of the sport, winning an unprecedented eight All-England titles (1968 to 1974, 1976) before claiming the coveted men's singles crown at the 1980 World Championships on an unforgettable night in front of a roaring home crowd here.
Indonesia once ruled men's badminton, and Hartono was the face of the sport.
But the country's fortunes have been on the decline since the 1990s, and there is a chance they could miss out on the men's singles here.
The badminton programme for the 26th SEA Games will take place at the Istora GBK Senayan Jakarta from Nov 12 to 19, and Indonesia will feature veteran Taufik Hidayat and Simon Santoso in the men's singles.
Speaking to Today over the phone yesterday, Hartono said: "It will not be easy for Taufik, but if he prepares well physically, then he can win gold.
"If not, then I think it will be difficult."
Taufik did restore the country's standing in badminton when he won gold at the 2004 Olympics in Athens and, for a time, he was the No 1 men's player in the world.
But his powers are waning and Indonesia have struggled to find a successor.
Taufik, a two-time SEA Games champion, has not won a tournament this season.
So poor is the country's production line of talent that the 30-year-old, currently the world No 8, is the highest ranked male shuttler from Indonesia. Team-mate Simon, 26, is the next best at No 11.
Vietnam's Nguyen Tien Minh, the world No 7, is expected to battle the two home favourites for the gold in men's singles.
There are seven gold medals in badminton (men's and women's team, men's and women's singles, doubles, and mixed doubles) up for grabs at the SEA Games.
Indonesia's governing body for badminton - Persatuan Bulutangkis Seluruh Indonesia (PBSI) - have set a target of at least four golds.
The Indonesians are favourites in all three doubles events.
As for the men's singles, Hartono said: "He (Taufik) is too old, and badminton is limited in age in the top ranks because it is so physical and needs so much flexibility.
"Hopefully, Simon can take over, but he is not a world-class player."
According to the 62-year-old, who is currently an adviser to the PBSI, the only way to stop the rot is for the government to take a proactive role and make badminton compulsory for all junior high students and senior students.
"We are now very far behind China, Korea and we have to struggle. If we don't do it, it will take us another 10 to 20 years to catch up," he warned.

Time Running Out For Organizers
Terrence Voon - Straits Times Indonesia | November 09, 2011
Jakarta. The digital countdown clock in Palembang, located on a busy roundabout leading to the famous Ampera Bridge, says it all.
With just two days to go before the cauldron is lit for the SEA Games, every minute will count as the organizers scramble to get venues and facilities ready for South-east Asia's biggest sports extravaganza. It is a race they are confident of winning, but the picture on the ground is worrying.
When The Straits Times visited the sprawling 300-hectare Jakabaring Sports City yesterday afternoon, dust swirled everywhere as thousands of workers dug drains, planted grass and installed the basic facilities needed for a major multi-sport event.
Pools of stagnant water and muddy embankments still line the roads leading to the main Sriwijaya stadium, where hundreds of student performers braved the mid-day heat to undergo rehearsals for the opening ceremony on Friday.
That is D-Day for the provincial capital of South Sumatra, which has struggled to pull the show together under the weight of government red tape, mismanagement and construction hiccups.
These include a well-publicized corruption scandal involving a former politician and a lengthy delay in government funding that forced the organizing committee to threaten to quit unless the money it needed was released.

Q: My child received several thousand dollars worth of savings bonds from her paternal grandparents as a child. The bonds were in her name with her father as the custodian. We have divorced, and my ex-husband says he lost the bonds. Can we replace them? He says he doesn't think they still exist. Is that possible? - M.K., Fayetteville
A: Sure, the bonds still exist - unless they've been cashed in.
Just so you know: A savings bond that's registered in the name of a minor child or jointly registered in the child's name and a parent's name can be cashed in by the parent without the minor child's permission - or knowledge.
Now: Take a deep breath. It's possible that the bonds were indeed misplaced and that your ex thinks that means the money's just gone. If so, he's wrong, and the money's still available for your daughter to spend on college, or whatever.
If these were Series EE savings bonds and you have the serial numbers, you can see if they have been redeemed by sending that information and a signed request to: Bureau of the Public Debt, P.O. Box 7012, Parkersburg, WV 26106-7012.
If the bonds have not been redeemed, you can request replacement. Even if you don't have the serial numbers, you can ask the Bureau of Public Debt to see if it has any record of outstanding bonds in your daughter's name.
If it does, you can get replacements. To ask for bond replacements or for a search of the records for outstanding bonds, fill out and submit Form 1048 - "Claim for Lost, Stolen or Destroyed United States Savings Bonds." It's available at treasurydirect.gov/ forms/sav1048.pdf.
For more information, check treasurydirect.gov/ indiv/indiv.htm.
Q: I have copies of old U.S. savings bonds. I'm almost certain that I cashed them in but not 100 percent. Is there a website where I can type in the serial numbers to check? Do bonds continue to earn interest after maturity? - M.R., Fayetteville
A: To see if the bonds have been redeemed, contact the Bureau of Public Debt using the form and address listed in the previous answer.
As for your second question, it depends on the type of bond and just how mature it is. Series H/HH bonds stop earning interest when they hit maturity. But Series E/EE bonds can continue to earn interest for a period of time after they reach face value - their original maturity.
For more, go to treasurydirect.gov/indiv/ indiv.htm and click on "find out if your Treasury securities have matured."

Patrick.net was featured in a SFGate.com article today. We all saw Ben Jones' blog featured in Business Week. According to author Carol Lloyd, NPR has been snooping around here for sources to interview (although that's yet to be verified, if you've been emailed or called by an NPR researcher/reporter, let us know).
What is the real impact of Bubble Blogs? Undeniably, blogs in general have quickly become established as a powerful alternate form of media. But blogs as a source of information are also often criticized for being raw, unedited, and often biased or outright inaccurate. It's even possible to find self-proclaimed internet curmudgeons criticizing blogs and bloggers in a blog.
Has this blog, and the other pioneers which took on the growing insanity of the real-estate bubble, really had a meaningful impact? I still maintain that blogs only affect the wider public sentiment on the margins. Most people do not receive their information through blogs. Those who still read consume simplified infografix color newspapers, the rest figure it out from commercials they forget to skip while watching something they Tivo'd. But, maybe affecting the margins is all that really matters. If we've helped to turn the few in the front of the herd, then the rest will follow.
Finally, what about anonymity? The largest single criticism leveled at blogs, and increasingly at Bubble Blogs, is that all the resident "experts" and "pundits" are anonymous. Anonymity breeds lack of accountability, and questions motives. Of course we aren't all anonymous. Certainly Patrick, Ben and others aren't. Some regular contributors and authors aren't either. But does it even really matter? I am not anonymous, yet I've been accused of being a real estate industry shill, despite the fact anyone can read my resume online. So I'm not so sure it truly makes a difference.
What do you think? Are we helping, hurting, or just fooling ourselves?
(Suggestion for thread by FormerAptBroker (FAB), who, while anonymous, is verifiable by this blog's admins just like most of our regular contributors).

XL Foods admits responsibility for meat recall 0
Ground Alberta beef in seen in coolers at Bon Ton Meat Market in Calgary, Alberta, October 3, 2012. (Reuters/TODD KOROL)
Related Stories
One week after its Brooks plant was shut down due to an E. coli outbreak, XL Foods on Thursday admitted responsibility for the episode that's led to Canada's largest meat recall.
The concession, on a taped phone message, came hours after federal inspectors added another 200 items to a recall list that now numbers about 1,700 products.
"We believed XL Foods was a leader with our food safety protocols ... we now learned it is not enough," states the message's female voice.
"We take full responsibility for our plant's operations and the food it produces."
The company says it's stepping up its cleaning, training, testing and oversight practises, while giving no indication when the plant, which processes a third of Canada's beef, will re-open.
"Meat will continue to be under quarantine until test results are known," the message says.
"Food safety is simply too important to our customers, our employees and our business ... we will continue to work collaboratively with 48 CFIA inspectors at the plant to ensure something like this never happens again."
Video monitoring of inspections, it says, will be an industry first at a plant that, when it reopens, will begin with limited production runs.
But officials with XL Foods have still refused to answer media questions.
What cattle producers urgently need is for the plant to go back on line, said Dr. David Chalack, chairman of the Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency Ltd.
The fall is a sensitive time of year for ranchers who are selling their cattle for slaughter, he said.
"It does establish a bottleneck, and if it goes longer, it'll affect more consumers," Chalack said.
"It's very concerning, it's a sizeable operation."
Chalack said it's "no exaggeration" a longer closure of the XL Foods plant could lead to some ranchers going out of business.
But he said beef consumption in Alberta hasn't wavered much, for which he and producers are thankful.
So far, the situation has hit the cow cull hardest, sinking the price for such animals by about 15%, he said.
In Alberta, E. coli infection in five people has been traced to the Brooks plant, whose products were first recalled Sept. 16.
But questions remain over why it took at least 12 days after first confirming the contamination for the CFIA to issue the warnings.
CFIA officials said plant managers delayed several days in providing testing documents, which hindered efforts to learn the full extent of the problem.
Do you have faith in beef?

Essie - Navigate Her Review
As a kid, my mom was always on a diet, and her favorite "dessert" was Jell-O sugar-free, fat-free pudding… Which is nice, but Jell-O didn't make sugar-free, fat-free pistachio pudding. Which is my favorite.
I will admit to wearing this color far more than I should simply because it reminds me of pistachio pudding. It is a lovely yellow-based, pastel green creme polish with a lot of shine (the photo really doesn't do it justice!) It makes my hands look very sexy and olive-y, even though they are as pale as paper in real life.
The formula, on the other hand, is just a tad bit disappointing. It tends to be really streaky on the first two coats, forcing you to use an unnecessary third coat just to cover up the patches of visible nail underneath. Personally, I think Essie's über skinny brushes are to blame. It's a shame because Essie's packaging and marketing is so cute, if the formulas were less streaky, they would probably be my favorite polish brand.
P.S., I apologize for the messy manicure. This is pre-cleanup.

Character of the Week #254
Queen of Seren
-Create a design for the Queen of the planet Seren-
DEADLINE: SUNDAY 31st JULY 2011, 9PM GMT+1
Check your timezone!
The planet of Seren is a beautiful, serene place ruled over by a young Queen. As kind and remarkable as the people of Seren are, they have one tradition which is regarded as barbaric by most other planets in the system. When a new Queen is crowned, she undergoes a ceremonial blinding, a process which is believed to allow the woman to 'see truth' and therefore rule her people better. Whilst normally the Queen is an adult when she comes to be crowned, the current Queen was only a child when she came into power.
This weeks challenge is to design the young Queen, now in her teens, in a ceremonial gown, preparing for the summer celebrations of Seren. The clothing needs to be lightweight but also lavish and extravagant.
Designing for Film:
This week's design is aimed at a film character. Whilst that should not limit your design, we would like you to consider the materials, fabrics and elements etc that your designs are made out of.
The Guidelines:
- Must be a FEMALE character
- Must be a young teen
- She has been ceremonially blinded so consider the process; did it scar? did it remove her eyes completely?
- Consider the climate of the planet
- Designs do not have to adhere to any earth cultures.
- Must clearly be a Queen so please try to avoid casual style clothing.
- Can be any style or genre
In addition to the brief, if you do not follow these rules, you will not be included in the poll.
- Files must be named: CHoW#254_Username (Files with any other names such as final.jpg or even chow254final.jpg will not be accepted)
- Finals must be posted in the finals thread BEFORE the deadline
- Final post must include the CHoW number and the artists username at the bottom of the image
- At least 3/4 of the focus character must be visible
- Final images must be accompanied with a basic character sheet in a separate image Character sheets should at the very least show a sketch of the front and back of the character and a couple of early thumbnails/silhouettes.
- Follow the brief!

The route to legal status for undocumented immigrants, spelled out in pending Senate legislation, could be made even tougher by Congress, Republican Sen. Marco Rubio wrote in an op-ed Friday.
Rubio is one of the most high profile members of a bipartisan "Gang of Eight" senators who unveiled immigration reform legislation last month that includes an eventual pathway to citizenship for many undocumented immigrants. It also mandates tighter border security and better enforcement of current immigration laws.
Some conservatives, including popular radio talk show hosts, have said the pathway amounts to amnesty, and have lambasted Rubio for his role in the bill.
"I've been listening to the voices on these platforms and taking notes about ways to improve the immigration-reform legislation," Rubio wrote in the Wall Street Journal, saying he's heard concerns the border security "triggers" included in the bill aren't stringent enough, and that implementing the new law would be costly.
The bulk of public outcry, however, has remained on the pathway to citizenship. In the proposed legislation, it would take 10 years for undocumented immigrants to get green cards and then another three years to gain citizenship. Along the way, they would have to pay a fine and back taxes and pass a background check.
The process would also be contingent on bolstering security. The legislation mandates strict new controls on the U.S.-Mexico border before any pathway to legality is opened. Yet some critics have wondered how the federal government will enforce tighter border security in the future if it has failed to apply current laws up until now.
"For those who have suggested that the border security triggers outlined in the Senate bill aren't strong enough, we now have a chance to strengthen them," Rubio wrote, noting that concerns the pathway is "too generous or lenient" would also be addressed.
"Congress will have a chance to make it tougher, yet still realistic," he wrote. "No one has a right to violate the immigration laws and remain here with impunity. Finding a sensible way to resolve our illegal-immigration problem must include penalties that show the rest of the world that it really is cheaper, easier and faster to immigrate to the U.S. the right way."
Rubio, elected to the Senate in 2010 with strong support from tea party activists and other grassroots conservatives, is thought to be mulling a possible bid for the 2016 GOP nomination, and pundits question whether his push for immigration reform will hurt or help any potential White House run.
On Thursday, the conservative magazine National Review unveiled its May cover: a photo of Rubio unveiling the Senate immigration legislation with the headline "Rubio's Folly."
The senator's op-ed Friday was the latest stop on Rubio's tour to allay the fears of conservatives on immigration. He's made the rounds of right-wing radio talk shows, including on Monday, when he told host Mike Gallagher the current version of the bill was unlikely to gain enough support for approval in the GOP-led House of Representatives.
"It will have to be adjusted, because people are very suspicious about the willingness of the government to enforce the laws now," Rubio said.
That suspicion, and the ensuing suggestions on how to improve the bill, are an important part of the political process, Rubio wrote Friday.
"The immigration-reform bill in the Senate is a solid starting point for solving this problem, and I believe it can be made even better as Congress begins to actively work on it in committee next week," he wrote. "But defeating it without offering an alternative cannot be the conservative position on immigration reform."

Alarm Keypads / Security System Keypads
Typically, keypads operate by using buttons and simple numeric codes to arm and disarm the system, verify that all zones are clear and operational, plus check the back-up battery status. Often, there is a panic button located on the keypad as well. Once pushed, the panic button can be programmed to contact your home monitoring service, police, fire, or EMS.
For basic wired and wireless alarm systems, the control panel and the main keyboard are typically one in the same unit. The user can then buy additional keypads to enroll into the system.
For most battery operated (wireless) keypads, the unit enters sleep mode 15 seconds or so after it is last used. The keypad will then immediately become operational again by pressing any key. This of course preserves the life of the battery.
Because the keypad is the part of the alarm system that will be used most, the placement of it should be well thought out. If you have just one keypad it is recommended to be placed close to the most used door. One or two keypads are probably all you need for an apartment, condo, or small house. On the other hand, multiple keypads provide the greatest flexibility for those living in a bigger home or operating a business.
Common places for security system keypads include the front door, master bedroom, back of the house, and inside the garage right by the door leading into the house. In addition, you should mount the keypad to be about shoulder height.

In twenty minutes I introduced participants to Photoshop and showed them some tools to touch up digital/digitized photographs on May 31st, 2011. Hopefully I've helped them get comfortable enough to play with all the different features Photoshop has to offer. I took this approach because it would be impossible to teach people about Photoshop in twenty minutes, a semester long class (like one that I'm took with UAA), or even a yearlong class. Why? Because Photoshop is one of the programs that has a multitude of tools and uses. Graphic designers are coming up with new and innovative ways to use these tools to create unique and amazing images every day. In the end, the user is only limited by their own creativity, time, and … patience There are an abundance of web tutorials online and so many ways to create one effect. Find the tutorials and methods that work best for you!
Below are some helpful links that can hopefully expand on my twenty minute training or may be of use to anyone who is interested in exploring Photoshop. Enjoy and have fun!

item works good for rounded off nuts n heads
Spring Valley, NY
via sears.com
I bought the 5 pc Bolt-out kit with this same design but for removal of smaller bolts up to 13mm to remove a 13mm oil plug which had a slightly rounded out head. The largest remover in that kit would not slide far enough onto the 13mm head (which had already been ground down to 1/2" with my dremel in an attempt to repoint it) to actually turn it despite the fact that the packaging indicated it would fit. The net result was that instead of grabbing the head it simply turned around it and mangled it even more to the point that I now have no choice but to drill it out. Please note that although the packaging indicates it will remove bolts/nuts up to 1/2" and 13mm, the largest remover does not even fit over a 1/2" head so either the pieces are miss-sized or the packaging description is incorrect. I returned the lit the same day I bought it.

Some knucklehead at the dealership had installed my oil pan drain bolt with an impact wrench. When I tried to remove it using a standard socket wrench I rounded off the bolt head. So, I tried a ViceGrip then a pipe wrench but I couldn't get that **** bolt to budge and I completely trashed the bolt head in the process. A guy at work recommended I try the Craftsman Bolt Out so I picked up the 5 pc set off of **** and gave it a try. I hammered on the bolt out socket that came closest to fitting the oil pan bolt and then put my largest adjustable wrench on there along with a 12" piece of pipe to get some additional leverage. It took some effort and I had to hammer the socket on a couple times to make sure I had a good fit but I'll be damned, I was finally able to get that bolt out.

This product is no good for impacted nuts if they are stripped, I ended up stripping out the socket trying to remove a stripped out nut using an impact wrench!! Not having a warranty like most major brand tools these are worthless especially when you try to use them for the purpose they were designed to do!!! DO NOT BUY THESE!!!

I have seen this image that is attached below and thought that I this could be done with the Gradient Circles by Skybase perhaps making a selection, BUT I was wrong because I did not think that of course the textures will be cut at the selection edge and nothing will be out of the selection.
Perhaps there could be a way if the gradient circles filter did not make the bubbles/circles if the background was transparent. Another possible way is to render the textures and then delete by hand all the circle/bubbles that were outside of the ball but this is too time consuming and very difficult to do. Then I thought that could render a 2D version and use the Spherical Projection by inujima but this does not work as the bubbles/circles are deformed by the projection distorsion So I am asking if anyone knows if this example below really could be possible to be done in FF in some way |
Posted: May 9, 2012 4:46 am | ||||||
Think simple. It's easier than you imagine. |
Posted: May 9, 2012 9:26 am | ||||||
well done Skybase! Very good how you have done this.
I am sorry that I am not an expert like you, and it could be easy for you, but I have been thinking on how to make a masking or something similar to make this and I have not yet found the way.
Well. let´s see if it is simple and easier, I could use the Get Alpha to detect the transparency and then be able to make a mask so it does not show the circles on the transparent parts. |
Posted: May 9, 2012 10:22 am | ||||||
I have tried to use the Get Alpha and it works well BUT now all is in grayscale, surely I have made something wrong, I will see what is wrong and see how to fix it to recover the colors.
Here is one example |
Posted: May 9, 2012 10:50 am | ||||||
and this is with a circle |
Posted: May 9, 2012 10:59 am | ||||||
I know what happened I had put wrongly the blend component, Now I have fixed it and it works right in color as it should and with the shape that you would like
BUT even then, Skybase the example you have put looks better than the one I have got, perhaps you have added additional gradient or have done something extra to get that better look |
Posted: May 9, 2012 11:38 am | ||||||
So what have you changed? | |||||
Posted: May 9, 2012 2:51 pm | ||||||
The easy solution = feed the selection component or any black and white image into chance 1 and chance 2 inputs of the bomber. Optionally you can feed the selection or the mask into the size or opacity parameter and turn down size/opacity-chaos. So those would be the changes.
I took some time off and just rewired the filter with additional features and fixes. It'll be in the library within the week. |
Posted: May 9, 2012 8:02 pm | ||||||
Some more modifications with the new setup.... |
Posted: May 9, 2012 9:34 pm | ||||||
Wel, I have only added a get alpha and a blend to join the source colors and the alpha You can see it here below |
Posted: May 9, 2012 10:09 pm | ||||||
Well, this may be the easy solution for you because I would never have imagined this, when you said "Think simple", I have done just that and found a simple fix.
WOW!! The new version looks really much better and makes really excellent, amazing and awesome bubbles/circles based on the source, I like them really much. Congratulations on this new version. Thanks very much for taking the time to make this new much better version that looks so good. |
