"Creativity is a highfalutin word for the work."
—Ray Kroc
Fraser Skullmaster Series Screamin II
PDF file
Used properly, stencils can effectively achieve continuity in a design and save you a lot of time.Used improperly, they can create some pretty nasty remedial designs.
Next in the Skullmaster line is Screamin' II, a sideprofile image that is similar in some respects to the Frontal II stencil.
Step 1:
Wanting color, mix up a batch of blue/violet kandy. This gives you more depth than black does when dealing with a monochromatic. Start out by spraying the basic skull design that is apparent in the actual stencil. A little tape keeps the overspray at bay.
Step 2:
After peeling back the stencil, you can see the general outline of the skull, minus the jawbone. For this first one, leave the jaw off, and keep the standard "evil eye†in place. Use your airbrush to outline, and connect all the stencil marked lines.
Step 3:
With your airbrush, fill in the details, shading and shadowing the entire design to give it depth. This rendering with the airbrush also eliminates the "stencil†look, giving the final piece of artwork a freehand feel.
Step 4:
A little background airbrushing for effect, and some hanging cob webs give the skull more character. Heck, just because you're using a stencil doesn't mean you have to turn off your imagination. I then sprayed in basecoat white for highlights. This brings out the details, and achieves more.
Step 5:
Using the same stencil, but with the eye masked off, airbrush in the same skull outline. This allows you to use the other eye in the stencil to give the skull a different look. The second eye is a more realistic, expressionless skull eye.
Step 6:
Mask off the stencil area around the jaw, and spray the jawbone in place. For this skull, the jaw is closed. The cool thing about having a separate jaw in this stencil is that you can place it wherever you like, giving the stencil a lot more possibilities.
Step 7:
After finishing with the stencil, connect all the linework with an airbrush. You can see that the skull already has quite a different look with the connected jaw and the different eye.
Step 8:
The freehand part of the airbrushing is the most important aspect of successful stencil or shield work. It's your freehand ability, and the unique ways you use the stencil that defines your artistry.
Step 9:
With the skull finished, create a radiant background fade, and freehand in a couple of crossed wrenches. This not only helps the skull design stand out further from the original stencil, but gives the entire design a retro "Hot Rod†look.
Step 10:
For the final skull design, use the same skull outline with the third-eye feature. The third eye is actually a star —sort of a "Bootsy Collins†Funkadelic thing. This star can also be used to create a series of stars over the skull, much like the stars on the Frontal II stencil.
Step 11:
Open the jaw. Go through the same process of lining out the skull with an airbrush to eliminate all stencil gaps.
Step 12:
Render in all the shadows and details to reduce the stencil evidence. Remember, stencils are cool to use but not cool enough for you to advertise their use.
Step 13:
With freehand flaming going on in the background of the Bootsy skull, our last trick: a very handy positive cut-out for both the top and bottom rows of teeth. This comes in handy if the teeth end up too dark. Definite time saver here... and something that was not in the original Screamin design.
Step 14:
With the teeth properly punched out with white, freehand in the rest of the highlights, completing the third and last skull—all derived from one stencil!
Final Shot:
As I've demonstrated, there are some pretty interesting things you can perform with stencils. In the past two articles, I introduced three drastically different stencil tools. The Frontal II is a good example of a versatile freehand stencil that is limited only by your imagination. The Lucky 13 is much more detailed, but is limited for freehand work; you'll have to be creative in how you use it, and not how much you are going to modify it. The Screamin II is an improvement over the Side Facing Skull stencil from the first series. Which stencil is better? Neither, and paradoxically, all three.
It depends on what you're using them for. It bears repeating: use the right tool for the right job. In the next issue, we're gonna compare the new Multiple II with the original Multiple from the Skullmaster I series. Stay tuned…same skull time…same skull channel. Paint to live, live to paint.

EVERYONE, they say, has a novel inside waiting to get out, and it seems that everyone assumes I have inside me the Great Australian Novel waiting to emerge on my retirement. ''I suppose,'' they say, ''you'll be writing the Great Australian Novel when you retire,'' and some add ha ha, and I'm never sure whether that means I could not, and I could not, or whether they see themselves as having uncovered my big secret.
There won't be even the Great Australian Short Story and I've all but abandoned hope of writing something I'd like to write, a year in my backyard, because I know I don't have what it takes to spend a year at a keyboard. Well, I don't have it in me to spend even a day at a keyboard when I have a choice.
Which reminds me that I have not begged off an invitation by one of the regular contributors to my blog, chaffandoats, to contribute to a chapter of his book about his family's struggles, including the death of his teenage son Tom three years ago after a long and harrowing bout with cancer. So just now I've asked if including the column I wrote at the time of Tom's death would fit the bill.
I admire people who write a book, not necessarily for the content of the book or for the expertise assumed by people who say ''he's written a book you know!'' but for the determination and discipline. And I'm interested that many people who write a book have not allowed poor writing skills to deter them, just as I'm interested that many of the most confident public speakers are embarrassingly poor speakers. Not that the two novels I'm going to tell you about now fall into that category.
The first has been written by a Novocastrian you may remember as the starving artist, which was his description to promote the Gallery in the Garage sales of his wincingly bad paintings. Tony Moffitt's paintings were not, though, terrible for long, and within a couple of years he'd won an Australian Artist magazine's national art prize and his arrestingly detailed paintings were selling for many thousands of dollars.
Well, in an email inviting me to read his novel Tony tells me he has ''always hated bloody painting'', that the novel is his first chance to do something he loves, that he always wanted to be a writer. And it seems that Tony's success as a writer has happened even more quickly than his success as an artist. Last week his novel, Die By The Sword, hit the top of Amazon Kindle's best-selling list for sea adventure fiction and was ranked at 16th in the men's adventure list. In the sea adventure list it has swapped places with Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea, an interesting brush with a classic, and I see that Tony has Hemingway's preference for short sentences.
Die By The Sword is about a Newcastle man who finds himself in an international military plot, and readers may recognise a few Hunter landmarks. ''It was a warm day. Neither of us wanted to waste the afternoon. Our ideas were different. I looked at the bed longingly. Lacey led me into the foyer. We rode the elevator to the ground floor. I took Lacey's hand for the walk to Nobby's Beach.''
It is an ebook available through Amazon at about $2, and Tony tells me more than a thousand people a month are buying it in the US alone.
The second novel is by another Novocastrian, former copper and miner John Hicks, a regular on my blog whose comments on crime, drug abuse and anti-social youth show that he understands the dark side more than most. From Coal to Cops tells the story of a Jake Campbell as he moves from coalmining to corrupt police along a trail of ''fights, beer, fast cars, bikies, crooks, women and many new friends and enemies''. The novel is in book form, published by John and for sale on eBay from mid July.
John's writing is devoid of pretence, unusually for most people, and his language and the story itself is earthy, while Tony's language is more descriptive and his plot more complex. Even if they didn't sell a single copy, they've both succeeded!
Do you have a novel inside you? A novelette? A poem? How about a peek at it?

Decision Maker
A little more than three months have passed since Microsoft released Windows 8, and in talking with dozens of corporate customers, the verdict is: "No, thanks."
Unlike Windows Vista, however, this give-it-a-pass attitude doesn't seem to be reflective of a poor perception of the quality or readiness of the OS. At most, folks are still skittish about the so-called "Metro-style desktop." However, as I've written before (see my IT Decision Maker blog post, "Windows 8: What Microsoft Isn't Telling You"), everyone seems to like it fine in the context of a "dashboard" rather than an "alternate desktop." No, the corporate attitude of "we'll skip this release" seems solely a reflection of modern IT realities. Businesses just aren't going to jump on every new OS version that comes down the line. Most companies have their Windows 7 deployment plans well underway, if not complete, and they're just not interested in making room for Windows 8.
Traditional Windows Upgrade PatternsI think that might be a bit misguided -- and it might be a strategy born in a world that no longer exists. In that world, more than two decades ago, most corporations deployed Windows 95 pretty widely because it was the first new version of Windows in a long time (and due to the fact it was far superior to the Windows 3.11 it replaced).
Windows 98 got a pretty good uptake too, and used more or less the same management and deployment techniques. Corporations took a pass on Windows Millennium Edition.
Plenty of companies moved to Windows 2000 Workstation when it was released. Most companies were comfortable running mixed environments at the time. They weren't necessarily thrilled about it, but it happened, and they got by. Sure, some companies went as homogenous as possible, usually with the NT-track OSes, but not all.
Then along came Windows XP or, as I like to call it, "the beginning of the end." At least it was the beginning of the end in terms of how IT did business to that point. With Windows XP, businesses had around five years to get comfortable with the OS. Five years is enough time to cycle through all of the client hardware in your environment, too, as even the oldest computer would be fully depreciated by that time. At long last, pretty much everyone could have a homogenous client environment.
Consequently, many companies skipped Windows Vista, which further solidified Windows XP. They liked Windows XP, for the most part. It worked. Most companies only started moving to Windows 7 when it became really, really obvious that Microsoft would no longer extend the Windows XP support lifecycle and something had to be done.
Rethinking Desktop HomogeneityNow, it seems that every company believes it must have one true version of Windows on the client. No mixed versioning. Windows 7 or bust -- no mixing in Windows 8... except maybe on IT staff machines, and maybe for a few influential executives who just get what they want.
Now, I totally get the benefits of a homogenous client environment. I do.
But who's kidding who? We live in an age where we're more heterogeneous than ever. Why not just accept the fact that we can manage multiple client OS versions -- or at least we should be able to -- and use this as a reason to bring those skills and techniques up to speed? We don't freak out about multiple server OS versions in the datacenter -- I have clients running nearly every version of SQL Server that's been released in the past decade, on a smorgasbord of Windows OS versions. They're fine.
So maybe, just maybe, we should let some Windows 8 sneak into our environments for regular users. Start getting adept at having the right tools, and the right knowledge, to manage it alongside Windows 7. And Windows XP. And whatever else walks in the door.

And exactly WHAT may I ask, is your business case for doing this? As far as the multiple SQL server clients issue. Are you sure they are fine? This article seems to be full of sloppy thinking, over simplification and over generalization.
There is one major issue that I believe hasn't gotten enough attention yet. It is not that so many places are either migrating to Windows 7 (or have not even started yet), but so many places have yet to deal with the compatibility issues of their applications leaving Windows XP. When these companies have finally crossed the UAC divide introduced with Vista (kicking and screaming the whole way), Windows 8 will likely be a better fit. Whether the preference is Windows 7 or 8, too many places have yet to confront the application legacy of letting Windows XP stay in use for so long. Windows 8 implementation may suffer from a basic case of bad timing.
I do not know any IT Directors who upgrade operating systems just because there is a new one available. I also don't know anyone who bases their decision to upgrade solely on Desktop Homogeneity.
I support an enterprise that is dependent upon many different applications and never have I encountered a time when all of my software vendors were compliant with a new O/S in a timely fashion.
I do not get measured by how many desktops are running Microsoft's latest operating system, but I do get measured by how many people are able to do their jobs with the tools I have placed on their desks.

Deep on the base in Camp Pendleton, in an isolated area, seaman August Provost was brutally murdered while on duty. August was a black gay sailor who was found dead in a guard shack at 3:30 in the morning. Stories abound. One story says Provost's aunt reported that the authorities told her that the seaman was "gagged, bound by the hands and feet, shot in the head three times, and then his body burned."
His family claims that Provost complained about being harassed because of his sexual orientation during the months prior to his death.
The Naval Service Criminal Investigative Service, or NCIS, has jurisdiction over the murder probe. A spokesman for the Navy claims there is no evidence that Provost's murder was a hate crime. Because the military does not recognize sexual orientation and the federal government does not define assault on gays as a "hate crime" — for federal investigative purposes, there can be no evidence of a "gay" hate crime.
Another Navy official says Provost never reported any harassment problems. The circumstances surrounding and leading up to Provost's death may never be thoroughly investigated because the "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy keeps military members and other defense department personnel working at military installations from reporting harassment based on sexual orientation for fear of losing their jobs. The policy prevents others who may have information about Provost's previous sexual harassment from coming forward and reporting events.
"Don't Ask Don't Tell" is a cruel policy that impacts civilians in the military as well as military members. No matter what the investigative outcome, one fact is certain — August Provost had nowhere to turn to officially complain about any sexual harassment before his death because he would have been discharged if he did. He suffered silently. The government's policy actually cultivates sexual discrimination against gays and lesbians because they cannot complain to halt harassment. It's time to ask our elected representatives in Congress why we continue such a failed policy.

Shame shame shame on Tracy Emblem playing the "gay card". Trying to cultivate the gay voting militia?
Even the candidate you're running against hasn't stooped that low…not that she's isn't capable..I mean, she tried catering to the illegal alien sympathizing voters and still can shake the stink of that albatross.
Thanks for showing your hand; the uninformed and fence sitting voters have a much clearer choice now.
Diggs… Don't you think that homosexuals have the right to vote, be treated fairly and have the same civil rights as everyone else?
Heterosexual harassment is very serious, and homosexual harassment should be weighed the same.
Let me ask… When your house is on fire do you ask for only heterosexual fire fighters to save your house? I suspect that the fence you were sitting on is between the American Independent and Republican Parties.
Tracy Emblem is fighting for civil rights and is courageous to come-out and support the investigation and raise some very valid points about how we continue to discriminate, even in 2009. Looks like the "B" candidates are gonna stay in the closet on this one, maybe you should do the same.
Thinking Straight missed the point – I'm guessing skipped history 101 for surf at beacon's?
Some points of interest:
1. Gays have every civil right any non-gay has, since civil rights are handed out to every legal US citizen in the US by the federal government.
2. The "Don't ask/Don't Tell" policy was signed into law by everyone's knight in shining armor, the holier than thou Bill Clinton back in 93…funny that most people either choose to ignore the fact that their choice of president hosed them with the signing of the bill or the press goes out of their way to make sure no one remembers. How many knee jerking Clinton supporters felt "saved" when SouthSideBarry got elected?
Note to all you "saved" voters: You too will soon (if not already) feel betrayed by your choices.
Is it right that August Provost was killed?
Was it right that he was probably killed by a closet queen?
No, but violence in the homosexual community is typical of their deviant lifestyle.
Follow the history how this event plays out and I'll be proved right.
August Provost signed up for Navy long after the DADT policy was in place and he either knew what he was getting into or he ignored it.
Personally speaking, neither party has what I want in a candidate for this coming election but I have to choose the lesser of two evils if I am to vote.
It certainly won't be Bah Bah Busby or Emblem.

Average Interview
I applied online and the process took a day - interviewed at Novatel Wireless in February 2010.
Interview Details Applied online and received email from hiring manager to set up phone interview within the next day. Phone interview went well, the hiring manager was very professional and said they would contact me to set up face-to-face interview. Within 7 days their admin sent me the interview schedule to take place in 7 days. Face-to-face was with VP SW Engineering, HR manager, hiring manager (Dir. PM). Was professionally greeted by receptionist who was aware of my interview. Within a few minutes the HR manager appeared to show me to the interview room. The VP was late so I used the in-room phone to call the HR manager up. VP then showed. He looked rather young-ish. Asked the routine questions a developer asks a PM. Then interview with HR manager. He told me all about the company and all the great benefits. For me this was a little premature, they should wait with this for the second round. Final interview with hiring manager. Hands-on in his office. Good questions on my skills. I was the last of four candidates to be interviewed. After about 14 days received email from HR guy that they had extended an offer to another candidate, which is usually the case if you don't hear from the employer rather soon after interview. I guess my experience did not match what they needed.
Looked like a nice company and people, all employees walking around looked rather content. Office space, however, was rather dark and cramped.
Interview Question – No unexpected or difficult questions. As always, they wanted to learn about my experience to see if it matched their requirements. Answer Question

What causes alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency?
Mutations in the SERPINA1 gene cause alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. This gene provides instructions for making a protein called alpha-1 antitrypsin, which protects the body from a powerful enzyme called neutrophil elastase. Neutrophil elastase is released from white blood cells to fight infection, but it can attack normal tissues (especially the lungs) if not tightly controlled by alpha-1 antitrypsin.[1]Mutations in the SERPINA1 gene can lead to a shortage (deficiency) of alpha-1 antitrypsin or an abnormal form of the protein that cannot control neutrophil elastase. Without enough functional alpha-1 antitrypsin, neutrophil elastase destroys alveoli and causes lung disease. Abnormal alpha-1 antitrypsin can also accumulate in the liver and damage this organ.[1]

Golfers know the PGA National Resort & Spa best as the home of the Honda Classic, a major tournament played at this Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, resort every February since 2007. With five tournament-ready courses, putting greens, driving ranges, and a golf academy, this sprawling property is a golfer's paradise, but it also offers a variety of activities for nongolfers and comfortable facilities for meetings. A bonus: With its experience managing the hoopla of a major sporting event, the resort is well-equipped to handle crowds.
Groups have access to a 39,000-square-foot, self-contained conference wing that includes a 58-seat amphitheater, two ballrooms, and 17 additional breakout rooms. A 5,000-square-foot covered outdoor pavilion overlooks a golf course and lake.
The 40,000-square-foot spa at the PGA Resort has mineral pools, dozens of treatment rooms, and an extensive menu of options. It's a bustling place, but the friendly and professional staff keep it running like a well-oiled machine, and the rooms are well-insulated to ensure a relaxing experience.
A health and racquet club on the property includes 19 tennis courts, racquetball, fitness classes, and a large cardio/weight room. Nine pools are scattered throughout the resort.
One of the most popular spots at the PGA National Resort is the wide-open lobby bar, set in the middle of the lobby, which attracts a lively crowd of locals and hotel guests each evening. The bar's new look was part of a $65 million upgrade of the public and meeting spaces completed over the last several years. In 2011, new soft goods are scheduled to be installed in the 379 spacious guest rooms and suites to match the fresh look elsewhere.
The community surrounding the resort has blossomed in the last three decades, with upscale shopping and dining options. And, in a typically congested stretch of south Florida, the efficient Palm Beach International Airport is a convenient 20-minute drive from the PGA National Resort.

The Eyes Have It! 8 Trendy Glasses to Sport This Spring
I broke my glasses last night, which - back me up on this, fellow four-eyes - is the absolute worst. But I've been meaning to get some new sunglasses for summer (because, yes, last year's sunglasses are long broken), so I figured I might as well go on an all-out glasses buying binge. And in doing so, I started tracking some consistent trends in the eyewear game for 2013. Instead of sticking with the typical hipster black frames and oversized sunglasses, 2013 is seeing some distinct eyewear trends for spring/summer. Here are 8 of the trendiest pairs out there:

Had our military been better equipped, we would have probably won first place in that war instead of second place. I was going to add that we could have also used more men in uniform, but I'm not so sure that would really have been needed with better equipment.
Don't let anyone tell you that today's talk by red states aboutÊseceding from the blue states does not send shivers down the backs in those in the blue states and Washington. Where would those who receive welfare checks in theÊblue states get their money from then? Those not truly disabled in the red states would go to work or else.
So if, if and if those red states ever truly decided to secede from the Union, don't let anyone shame and belittle you into thinking those states could not make it on their own because theyÊalready have proven they can.
It's just a matter of getting the blue states to learn to live without our money and natural resources and not start a war over it by invading us.

Taken 2 Review: Taken For a Ride?
"My hat is off to the fight choreographer…"
Geek Smash Score: 80/100
Back in January of 2009 no one could have predicted that the original Taken would receive so much success. Raking in $145 million dollars Fox clearly started seeing dollars signs and planned a sequel. In my opinion this is not the best reason to make a film, so I went into it thinking that maybe it shouldn't exist. Does this attempt at fanservice pay off? That's the question I'm going to answer by the end of this review.
First thing you need to know about Taken 2 is that the entire cast returns; this time with bigger paychecks and a new director. My first thought was: "Milk that cash cow Fox, milk it good!" This movie is made for a guy like me and Fox knows it. I loved the original, I love Liam Neeson and I'd go see a movie with him starring regardless of almost anything else about it. Even if it is a blatant attempt to cash in on guys like me.
That said for ninety minutes long it starts off a little slow, but quickly picks up the pace and doesn't slow down until it's over. I enjoyed myself, even if I did feel a little Taken when all was said and done, because in my opinion Liam Neeson is a bona fide action star and is in the same league as those cast in the Expendables 2. There are even recent internet jokes making him out to be the new Chuck Norris. That being said Neeson is starting to show his age but he's a sprightly fellow and it's good to see that 3-4 years later he's still got it. One of the thoughts I was left with coming out of this film was how fun it would have been to see him as James Bond.
The points that I did feel Taken 2 happened while watching the generic action sequences such as chase scenes and gun battles, which were fast and frantic but nothing particularly special. The shaky cam technique was used frequently, and I could have done without it. I understand shaky cam technique is used to try to make the fights seem more intense, but this technique makes it hard to follow the flow of combat. All in all, the "close quarters" combat is where this movie shines. My hat is off to the fight choreographer, he knew how to really make Neeson seem to be ex-CIA.
Plot-wise, it's pretty much the same as the first film with a few twists that we will cover in a second. If you've seen the first film you can kind of figure out what to expect. No, this time Neeson's daughter isn't taken. Thank goodness! Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) has to go to Istanbul on business. His ex-wife Lenore (Famke Janssen) is separating from her husband and daughter Kim (Maggie Grace) has a new boyfriend. Kim is also having issues getting her drivers licence. Clearly stressed and in need of a break, Bryan offers for them to join him for a vacation in three days after his work is done. Little do they know they're being tailed by the father of the main bad guy from the first film, seeking revenge for his son's murder at the hands of Mr. Mills. The twist here is that the bad guy is out for the entire Mills family and Bryan along with Lenore gets taken this time around. So it's up to Kim to help save them with guidance from her dad on his special super secret spy cell phone. Olivier Megaton's film clearly doesn't take itself too seriously as is shown by Kim running around the city on roof tops haphazardly throwing grenades. Where the hell were the cops?
Kim doesn't so much as rescue her dad as gets a gun to him so that he can rescue himself. When he is free, there is a big car chase where Kim drives and Liam is yelling at her the whole time. Remember she doesn't even have her licence. She is crashing into stuff and he's all like, "MOVE!" and she's like "I can't do this." and he's like "Yes you can, MOVE!" By the end of the chase scene, which has them crashing into the US Embassy, I was thinking: "So apparently being ex-CIA means you can do almost anything you want in the world and get away with it."
Despite its flaws, at its core Taken 2 is a great continuation of the story from the first film. This is Taken through and through and the gang is all here. Loads of suspense and while it may be predictable, if it's not broken don't fix it. They could have taken more risks but it's still a must see for all Taken fans even if it's just a DVD rental.
I'm not sure if they should make another but it's probably inevitable. The bad guy at the end says he has two other sons. I think the key to making money on a film series like this is to make sure you release it on a weekend where it won't have much competition. There is a lot in this film that is really implausible, lots of convenient things that happen, and the writing isn't going to win anyone an Oscar. If you like action movies like me though, and are able to just sit back and enjoy the ride, Taken 2 was made for you.

Dell buyout? Not so fast.January 14, 2013: 2:54 PM ET
Throwing cold water on the possibility of a Dell buyout.
FORTUNE -- Dell Inc. (DELL) stock is spiking today on a Bloomberg report that the company is in talks with two private equity firms about being acquired. My gut take is that this would be very, very difficult.
Dell opened trading today with a market cap just shy of $19 billion, and now is well north of $21 billion. So the buyout likely would have to be for at least $23 billion.
Then let's be ridiculously generous and assume that the private equity firms only have to put together a 35% equity commitment. That's an $8 billion equity check, or just under $5 billion after Michael Dell rolls over most of his 273 million shares. Way too big a number for one or two private equity firms to do alone, given that the top fund sizes now are only around $10 billion (and firms are loathe -- and often contractually prohibited -- from committing more than 10% of a fund into any one company). So you'd probably need a minimum of three firms participating, alongside large co-investments from their limited partners. And that would be three firms out of a universe of less than a dozen.
Sounds reasonable in 2007, but not in 2013. Many of those big club deals were losers, and almost all of the participating firms currently are defendants in a related price-fixing lawsuit. The firms all strongly deny any wrongdoing, but that doesn't mean they want to draw new attention to themselves by teaming up on the largest leveraged buyout in years. Moreover, the number of firms with $10 billion-ish funds has declined over the past few years.
But let's assume the equity can be somehow worked out. Perhaps Michael Dell has some large sovereign wealth fund on the line. Now you need to find around $15 billion of leveraged financing. The debt markets are deep, but this ask is a few leagues below that. Even during the so-called "Golden Era" of private equity, $15 billion+ in leveraged financing was an extreme rarity. And bankers aren't being asked to bet on shale gas here; they're being asked to commit billions to the personal computer market. There's a reason this thing trades pretty cheap.
MORE: Blackstone poaches Dell dealmaker
Yes, it is true that Dell has a crazy amount of cash on its balance sheet ($11 billion or so at last count), which should help alleviate some banker fears. But, at the same time, it also has more than $4 billion in existing long-term debt that would need to be refinanced.
"I think it's stretching the bounds of reality," one tech-focused private equity exec explained to me after the Bloomberg report came out. "It's possible, but I wouldn't hold my breath."

Probably! LOL!!
So basically the earlier you get there the closer to the stage you'll be.
Stefan, The Aragon Ballroom is awsome, never noticed a problem with the sound, have seen lots of shows there. It is a couple miles if that East of Lake Michigan/Lake Shore Drive but on the Northside not in the greatest neighborhood, any place you stay downtown will be a short cab ride or train ride away. Another mile or so is Clark Street which if you take back south will lead you to where all the bars are, I know the good dives to go to
Going both nights, VIP for Pinkerton. Already booked my flight up from Baton Rouge, will get on hotel in a few weeks. There aren't any hotels around the venue, your best bet will be to look downtown.
I was definitely going to one of the cities for this tour, and Chicago (in addition to being an awesome city) was the best fit. Low ticket prices and GA make me a happy camper.

2001 Suburbn rear brake pad replacement
I already finished the front pads. The front caliper is held by 2 torx bolts and guide pin as one assembly to the bracket. Once the guide pins were out, the caliper pulled out really easy,
I am having a problem removing the rear caliper to bracket 12mm hex heads. The guide pins are held by 12mm hex head instead of torx head and the hex head bolt just keeps spinning and not unscrewing. It's not the same guide pin design as the front.
Any tip how to get the rear caliper off?
- - - Updated - - -
I figured out. There are two separate pieces to the rear caliper guide pin not like the one piece in the front caliper. I had to hold the inner guide pin with a small thin wrench while loosening the 12mm hex head bolt. The inner guide pin has a flat spot for an open wrench.2011 Chevy Silverado LT 4WD 25k miles
2001 Suburban 2WD, 5.3, V8 176k miles

Glad you found out the fix. I just did my brakes all the way around and it took me a bit to figure out the rears. but trying to install the new split back covers and parking brake hardware was much more of a task.

Read more about Tanah Lot
Tanah Lot is the "must see temple" for most visitors to Bali and this becomes disappointingly obvious when you arrive at the toll booth to the car park. Surrounding the car park are hundreds of food and drink stalls as is common at many of the important temples in Bali as they serve mainly local clientele.
But step beyond these stalls and you feel as if you are stepping back into Kuta with masses of commercialised shops selling everything from fake Ralph Lauren to Crocs. There is also a line of art and craft shops selling tacky souvenirs which you are mandatorily funnelled past despite it being the indirect route to the temple.
After surviving the shopping onslaught, you are greeted by the temple itself, perched on a rock surrounded by the ocean. Those with visions of grandiosity will sadly leave wondering what all the fuss was about as there are many more visually appealing temples in Bali. ... Read our complete Tanah Lot travel guide

They made a what?
I don't want to live in America anymore.
This is whats wrong with kids these days, need a fancy device imported from China to make smores. When I was a kid we just sat an old tire on fire, broke us off a switch and roasted the marshmallows.
It is funny and sad at the same time. Oh well, at last I have real smores memories.
Do any of you have a toaster? Cause in the old days you put bread on a stick or in a little metal contraption and held it over fire. Have you ever dialed a phone, I mean turning an actual dial that rotated? Ever roll down a window without pushing a button? We called that air conditioning.
Get out your wash board and tub, grab your butter churn, hook up the horse and buggy, and go get some water from the well while you are at it. Bunch of old fogies. FYI - I wouldn't buy this because its stupid and useless. Just put a piece of wax paper in the microwave with the s'mores or heat a marshmallow over the stove and then add the rest. But s'mores suck. You eat them when camping because that is all there is unless you want some squirrel ice cream. Before you say they don't suck tell me the last time you actively went out to buy some smores, ordered them in a restaurant, stocked up some smores supplies. Last time was a camping trip or kids sleep over right?
I made s'mores at home when we had a wood burning fireplace #3. No camping, no kids sleeping over. But now we have a sealed gas fireplace, s'no more s'more.

"When the media call the NCAA about sports finances, they just say, 'Ask Dan.'"
If you do a Google search on the financial aspects of intercollegiate athletics, you'll find more than 16,000 citations attributed to Dan Fulks. The Transylvania accounting professor is a nationally recognized authority on college sports finances and a research consultant to the National Collegiate Athletics Association.
Since 1994, Fulks has prepared an annual report that provides a line-item and overall look at revenue sources, expenses, and net profit or loss of sports programs at the NCAA's more than 1,100 member schools. Fulks also has served as a consultant for colleges contemplating more emphasis on their athletics programs, the cost of adding a football program, the financial impact of gender equity issues, and many other matters. He has been quoted in USA Today, The Washington Post, SportsBusiness Journal, The Chronicle of Higher Education, and many other prominent media outlets.
Transylvania students benefit from this NCAA work. "I get my students involved in collecting data and compiling my annual study, and I bring my results and methodology into classroom discussion," says Fulks.
In fact, every class Fulks teaches makes some reference to his research. "For example, it applies well to cost accounting, where direct and indirect costs are allocated to a specific product," he explains. "Some costs are direct, such as a coach's salary or uniforms for a team. Others, like the expenses of maintaining and operating a gym, are common to several sports. How do you allocate those common costs and thereby determine the cost of, say, women's volleyball or men's basketball?"
Fulks further enlivens his classroom presentations by drawing on his earlier experience as a staff member of Ernst & Young, where clients included the Atlanta Falcons, Atlanta Braves, and Atlanta Stadium. He was involved in a key court case that set tax standards for depreciating the value of professional athletes.

Asalaamu alaykum,
I am very concerned about the validity of my marriage. I have been struggling very much with my husbands second wife so much that I asked for a divorce and have been hysterical many times. As a result, my husband gave me my first but we stayed with each other. Another time, I was shouting at him and angered my husband so he gave me a divorce in anger but didn't want to divorce me he just wanted me to be quiet. I have now been given my third because in the middle of the night I woke my husband, I began shouting at him for a divorce or to sort the situation of our marriage, he didn't want to give me it so hung up the phone many times to which I just kept calling back and shouting. He became angry because I woke him and gave it to me.
I didn't actually think he would give it to me and believe I wasn't in my right mind, my behaviour has been very irradical.
I deeply regret how I have behaved towards my husband, and in front of Allah concerning my marriage.
I am so ashamed of my behaviour and wish to fix what i have done wrong.Please tell me if any of these divorces are invalid or how I can be married to my husband in a halal way JazakAllah khair

Calling Out Mansplainers Isn't the Same as 'Silencing' Men
Dear Tom McLaughlin And Joshua Sealy-Harrington: We need to talk about your recent article in the Globe and Mail about being "silenced" based on gender. First of all, let's get a few things straight here: You are not being silenced. Yes, sometimes your opinions will be discounted because of your identity -- because you know what? In the context of social justice, lived experience trumps everything else every time.

I bought Wolverine #306 because of the villain, Dr. Rot, and the writer, Cullen Bunn, whose writing has impressed me on the Sixth Gun. I loved the comic and cannot wait to read more, but I thought there's be a lot more discussion about that final page. It reminded me a LOT of the imagery from a different, recent top-selling comic.
