Distinct Views x Bolton; Video & 4th shoe.
A perfect video with Rick Williams explaining the inspiration for his 4 'Distinct Views' collab on the Bolton. The fourth shoe 'TakuBeats' – inspired by Tokyo nightlife – will release on 3rd November at stores such as Burn Rubber. Retrobok cannot recommend these shoes highly enough – if you don't already own a pair, you're missing out.-BokOne
Ventilator 'TDL Camo' — The Distinct Life x Reebok
With looks and arguably a certain level of finish akin to a pair of New Balances, this collab certainly has the air of quality about it. Another collab with Rick Williams – one half of Detroits' Burn Rubber (with their own Reebok collabs recently, notably the 30th anniversary Classic) Williams shouts out to other Reebok collaborator Frank the Butcher with the BAU hangtags/details. Debossed Camo prints on the leather are a neat idea – though its not easy to see the results from the photos. Nice work though! Available Saturday April 6th at Burn Rubber and other quality stores. —BokOne

Spring cleaning for summer preening
It's time to wash away all that grit, grime and salt after a long, harsh winter of driving in Ontario
4x4 off-road safari. Egypt. Sinai desert
Spring is here, and although it doesn't feel like it yet, warmer weather is on the way. It's time to prepare your car for a new season of driving, but do it yourself, or leave it to the pros? That's up to you.
Some seasonal tasks, such as brake checks and tire balancing when you swap your winter tires for stickier summer rubber, should be left to technicians who know what they're doing.
But basic spring maintenance is much simpler, although it can be time-consuming.
Changing your own motor oil, for example, is not a bad way to bond with your son or daughter, doing it as a Saturday afternoon project. "And you can save some money, definitely," says Sean Martell, who is Canadian Tire's national buyer for motor oil products.
The professional price for an oil change starts at about $40, which means the cost for labour is about $15 or $20 on top of the retail price of the oil and new filter.
If you want to save that money, or just ensure the job is done to your own standards and using your own oil, then you'll need a place to perform the work and the time to see it through. For tools, you'll need a wrench and a filter wrench, a drainage pan and a funnel, plus an old jug for carrying the waste oil to the hazardous waste recycling facility.
You'll need a rag, too — maybe a big one, if you're not the patient type. It can get messy under there.
Most people prefer to just drink a coffee for 20 minutes while the work's done by someone else, says Martell, especially by somebody who can advise on the best oil and filter to use.
Mechanics used to recommend a different weight of oil for the spring over the winter, but improved technology means that's not usually necessary now, he says. Even so, he adds, "you'll never harm your car by changing the oil a little sooner, especially in the spring time."
"The winter time's always very difficult on a vehicle, between the cold-weather starts and the more dirt and salt and debris that's out there. Your car just has to work harder through the winter period."
That season's over for now, though, and it's time to clean away the dirt and grime. Should you do that yourself?
"It's about the products," says Rodway Bramble, the lead detailer at LA Detail in Scarborough. Professionals have a ready supply of tricky-to-use cleaning products that can take practice to apply properly.
"For instance, we use something called Fallout, which is a mild acid that we use if we notice that a vehicle is covered in small rust spots, from industrial fallout," he explains. "It's not something you can use in your driveway because it dries quick, and if it dries, it etches the paint."
Bramble says it's also taken him years to be comfortable with a high-speed polisher that, if used too liberally, can rub right through paint.
Most simple cleaning, though, can be done with basic products and elbow grease. Bramble says it'll take the average person "a day, and then some" to clean a dirty car to a professional shine inside and out, using waxes and shampoos from the local auto store.
But it could also be illegal to wash your car in your driveway or on the road. The City of Toronto is one of several municipalities with a bylaw prohibiting car-wash run-off from entering the storm drains, since those sewers are designed for rain and snow and empty directly into Lake Ontario with very little treatment.
The fine is up to $50,000, no different from an industrial polluter, although it's never been enforced against a private homeowner. Professional car washes have separate drainage systems for dirty water, and most of it is recycled.
If you do want to wash your car at home, the city recommends you park it on grass or gravel to absorb the water, or that you dispose of the waste water in your home's sanitary drain system.
"By using a pail, washcloth and only a small amount of water, and then wiping the car dry, the waste water can be contained in the bucket and disposed of into the sanitary sewer through a laundry sink or toilet," suggests the city's website.
Or you can go to a car wash. An automatic wash can cost less than $10 and will include spraying the crud away from the underside of the car — often missed in a driveway clean.
Professional detailing usually starts at less than $100 for personal cleaning inside and out, and can extend to several hundred dollars, depending on just how clean you want your vehicle.
Just don't ask Bramble to get rid of red Gatorade stains.
"That's the worst," he says. "It's worse than coffee — you're just not going to get it out."
And if he can't do it, safe to say you can't, either, especially in your driveway.

Official: Wenger confirms creative midfielder deal
Get up to date on Arsenal transfer news, injury updates, fixtures, not restricting reports on Arsenal Ladies and share your opinions on Goonerhead
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has insisted that he does not want to sell midfielder JackWilshere this summer window, according to Talksport.
Wilshere only has a single year left in his contract with the Gunners and was sent out on loan last season to the then newly promoted AFC Bournemouth.
Wilshere has a number of interested suiters, including sides in Italy and Newcastle United and Championship side Aston Villa.
But Wenger has come out to say that he has no plans to sell the player on.
"Well, for him it's good that he's back and available. I think he needs games now," said Wenger.
"He might play again on Monday night [for Arsenal's under-23s] but overall, what is important for him is the natural progression to be completely fit. He is not far away now.
"I think I plan for him to be here for the whole season, after we will see at the end of the season."

A celebrated master of postmodern painting, David Salle has taken the device of pastiche, which is central to modern art, and made it both the form and content of his work. Incubating his career in the distinct hotbed of post-studio artists under the tutelage of the renowned John Baldessari, he rose to prominence as a leader in return to figuration, reinvigorating the form in bold new ways.
Following his uncanny compositional instinct, Salle deconstructed images through his use of photography and collage. Creating a bridge between traditional figuration and Pop Art's obsession for disparate images, his work rejuvenated Postmodernism and Neo-Expressionism.
A selection of David Salle's earlier works is currently on view at Skarstedt in New York until June 23rd, 2018. Titled David Salle: Paintings 1985 – 1995, the exhibition features historic works highlighting a prolific and experimental period of the artist's career. It showcases a selection from some of his most significant bodies of work, including Mingus in Mexico from 1990, a painting that references the American jazz musician Charles Mingus and Fooling With Your Hair from 1985.
We had a chat with David Salle to find out more about his current exhibition and his practice in general. In an exclusive Widewalls interview, Salle talks about the exhibition at Skarstedt, the composition of his works, the working process, the depiction of the female body, his writing, and much more.
Widewalls: The exhibition featuring your historic works is currently on view at Skarstedt in New York. How did this exhibition come about?
David Salle: Per thought it would be nice for people today to be able to see these paintings, either because they weren't around at the time, or in some cases, because the paintings were never shown here, or anywhere. We wanted to give a sense of the continuity of the work.
Also, we feel it's very important to see paintings in the flesh, not only in reproduction.
Widewalls: Works on view come from a prolific and experimental period of your career. Could you tell us more about this?
DS: It's true, the ideas were flowing like gangbusters in those days. This period roughly corresponds to the time when I was intensely involved in the dance world, in designing for the ballet, and many of the pictorial ideas grew out of, or were influenced by the theater work.
Widewalls: Drawing from a vast range of references and motifs, your early works appear as pictures within pictures, creating endless points of entry for understanding. How do you approach the compositional relationship between different imagery?
DS: It's instinctive, a certain cast of mind. Images - like all forms - have different weights and velocities and associations.
I'm like an orchestra conductor - I have to bring in the woodwinds at the right place in the music, with the right emphasis and inflection. Or maybe orchestrator is a better analogy - the person who decides which instrument is going to carry the melodic line, which one the harmony, etc.
Widewalls: Throughout your career, you have been deconstructing images drawn from disparate places. How does your present work relate to the sea of images in which we swim today?
DS: Well, the "sea" is one thing - but most images fall within certain predictable categories. I work with images that may seem generic but are actually highly specific. They all have a certain formal heft, which is another way of saying, they can be painted.
Widewalls: Could you tell us something about your working process?
DS: Slow. Occasionally less slow. Then slow again.
Widewalls: Women have been a recurring subject in your work for decades. How has your depiction of the female body evolved and changed over the years?
DS: For a number of years, I was primarily interested in painting the female body, in painting images of women, to bring a kind of performance-like energy to the paintings.
The images came out of an intimate space of performance, with the models, most of whom were dancers and the like, responding in the moment - the body caught in motion, in mid-pose, and at extreme, highly foreshortened angles; the body in extremis, so to speak. Some of these poses carried an erotic charge, which I took to be a positive force in the paintings.
At the moment, I feel like I've said pretty much everything I had to say on that score, and now I'm mainly painting men. But the men aren't doing anything; they're just heads. It's early yet.
Widewalls: A collection of your critical essays, "How to See" has been published in 2016. How does your writing affect your painting and vice versa?
DS: It's hard to say exactly how they are related, but of course they are. I think the demands of writing - of sorting out what you really think about something - is very good preparation for painting. I think everyone should try it. But you have to write what you really feel, not what you know you're supposed to feel.
Widewalls: Could you reveal some of your future plans and projects?
DS: More paintings. More essays. More life.
Editors' Tip: How to See: Looking, Talking, and Thinking about Art
How does art work? How does it move us, inform us, challenge us? Internationally renowned painter David Salle's incisive essay collection illuminates these questions by exploring the work of influential twentieth-century artists. Engaging with a wide range of Salle's friends and contemporaries - from painters to conceptual artists such as Jeff Koons, John Baldessari, Roy Lichtenstein, and Alex Katz, among others - How to See explores not only the multilayered personalities of the artists themselves but also the distinctive character of their oeuvres.

Larry Crowne And The Foreclosure Message!
Wednesday is date day for my husband and me. We drive 30 miles from Williams, Arizona into Flagstaff to have lunch and a movie along with doing errands one can't do in a town of 3,000.
Today we saw Larry Crowne with Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts. I had only seen the previews and thought it would be an "ok" movie as the previews did not really "move" me but it looked SWEET. Forest Gump grown up on a reinvention quest is where my imagination was going.
I was so wrong, this movie has so many messages and such subtle humor I took 5 pages of notes.
- Strategic foreclosure (Photo by Brendel)
- Job loss
- Relationship issues
- Substance abuse
- Entrepreneurial motivation
- Paying it forward
- Having a plan B
- Alternative income sources
- Loving your neighbor
- Gangs
- Hope
- Love
This massive list is covered in 1 hour and 39 minutes of meaningful entertainment. Taking notes in a movie is not unusual for me as that is just what I do. You see, I go to movies for the message and the great one liners and I really do not like to watch them more than once.
Movie messages are like a puzzle for me, trying to see what the story is, how it might modify how I feel or what I might do differently. If there is no message it really was just entertainment. Larry Crowne is entertaining and does have a message and should be on your MUST GO SEE list!
Reading a review prior to watching the movie is an ABSOLUTE no, no! Having a brain like the Tin Man after visiting OZ is something we all have. We can watch, think and reason on our own based on trailers or descriptions of the movie. What difference does it make what someone else thinks about art which is supposed to touch your soul?
Tom Hanks is the director and Screenwriter along with Nia Vardolos of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" fame. The movie was released on July 1, 2011 by Universal Pictures staring: Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Taraji P. Henson, George Takei, Peter Scolari, Bryan Cranston, Cedric the Entertainer, Wilmer Valderrama, Jon Seda, Nia Vardalos, Natascha McElhone, Maria Canals, Pam Grier, Rami Malek, Rob Riggle
The movie takes a serious issue facing our country today and gives people HOPE.
Many of the reviews I read AFTER the movie are laughing at the optimistic approach to the recession. I am not sure of the age of some of the reviewers but they obviously "Don't Get It." The light at the end of their tunnel is a freight train and they don't have a clue! 14 trillion dollars in debt with no more room to borrow spells BK in most books. How this FACT is going to effect America in the days and weeks to come is yet to be determined. This movie shows how a group of people have chosen to adapt to the current changes in the economy.
Larry Crowne, (Tom Hanks) is fired from his big box job because he does not have the educational background to move upward in the company. He is a model employee with receiving 8 employee of the month awards. He picks up the trash on the way into work and takes pride in what he does. These ethical qualities do not insulate him from being "kicked to the curb" as the company downsizes.
Larry takes being fired in stride and handles the rejection of job interviews from every type of job imaginable. One employer says "times are tough" to which he responds "tell me about it." Anyone in the audience having gone through a job search in the recent past can identify with the feeling of hopelessness in obtaining a new job. Larry is also divorced and had taken a 2nd on his home to pay off his ex-wife. So he is stuck with no job and a huge house payment. This is not Hollywood hype this is everyday life in our face. Larry ultimately takes a job from a friend in a diner being a line cook.
Going to college was an idea shared by Larry's neighbor, Cedric the Entertainer. Cedric had been the winner of a game show and made his living today with a perpetual garage sale. The bond of the neighborhood and the feeling of concern for one another was a message critics might not have seen as the plot envelops every part of our changing economy in one way or another.
As Larry fills his SUV with gas he sees two young people come into the gas station fill up their scooters with gas for $3.78 while his bill was just shutting off at $75.00. He makes the financial decision to downsize to a scooter for transportation just like many people are having to do today to survive.
The first day of school Larry runs into a vibrant young lady, Talia (Gugu Mbatha Raw) who invites him to be part of her "gang." The story line here is a little unrealistic with a hot, quirky, fashionista befriending a middle aged man on an old scooter. However, the message here could be for compassion to all mankind going through struggles needing a little help from their friends, no matter what age. What a great way to meet new people and invite them to hang out. Create your own gang and help others. This concept is a reach for some critics but the message worked for me!
The gang helps Larry transform with a new look and feng shui for his dated home with an upside down mortgage. Talia is in an economics class with Larry and is constantly texting him while the lecture is on. One of my favorite lines was from George Takei (Star Trek fame) the Econ Professor as he takes away Larry's cell phone in class "They call these smart phones but only dummies use them in my class."
Larry really understands the principles in the Economics class. He has a discussion with the professor and makes the decision to go through a "Strategic Foreclosure." He spent time going to the bank, trying to refinance, trying to explain his situation and the banker says, "3 year ago I would have given you over $500,000 on your signature however, we can't do anything for you now as you owe more than the home is worth" Larry explains he can no longer pay the payments without a job to which she replies..... "let's get some complimentary coffee and talk as you have to continue making the payments." Larry knows the process and the fact he will have 30 days to vacate. He packages up all the documents and the keys and delivers them to the bank providing the deed prior to foreclosure. His neighbors have an emotional time with accepting he is going to have to move and the reality of what is going on in the world today is right there on the big screen for all to see.
Will this movie send a message to homeowners who owe more on their homes than the value will support? If they are listening it will and they should get legal and tax advise as to whether a strategic foreclosure will work for them in their individual sitution. Each State has different defiencey rules on first and 2nd mortgages so no action should be taken without proper legal and tax advice.
Mercedes Tainot (Julia Roberts) is a speech instructor where Larry is taking a class called "The art of Informal Remarks." She is a self medicating alcoholic trying to numb herself to the feelings she has with her porn loving, writer husband who stays at home. She starts throwing rocks at what he does all day on the Internet when he tries to explain he is posting to his blog. She says he is not writing the blogs only commenting so he must have gotten the idea that commenting on blog posts was the same as writing a blog post from a "Canadian Blogger Thesaurus." He calls her "Boozeilla" then she retorts he is a "childish blogging loser."
The movie is so much more than 1 hour and 39 minutes of entertainment. It gives HOPE to everyone who watches it and is willing to listen to the message along with some humor and reality. The movie shows how people can support one another and make the best of a very unfortunate situation. Downsizing to a 1 bedrooms apartment with a one butt kitchen is not so bad after all if you have your priorities right. It is what it is and you do what you have to do to survive today and this movies shows that it is ok!
Read how people are sharing their lives and what they are doing to start over on the Larry Crowne website.
The content in this movie is an example of how human beings can be helping one another as the Cosmic Shift Happens!

Abdul Razak, Ibnur Shahrizat (2010) Proposed new interior design of Simplysiti Beauty Outlet for Simplysiti Sdn. Bhd at 176, Jalan Maarof, Bangsar, 59000, Kuala Lumpur / Ibnur Shahrizat Abdul Razak. [Student Project] (Unpublished)
Interior Design is one of the courses provided in Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM). In order to obtain the scroll of diploma, all final year students are required to prepare one final year project which is compulsory. The project must be relevant to be done based on few aspects such as the feasibility of the project and the current issue that support the project proposed. The students must perform at their best using all of the application learnt during first, second and the third year of study. There are lots of processes to be undergone which include research, case study, interviewing, designing a proposal, submission by stages, critique session, preparing art work, preparing presentation drawings, design development and final presentation. SimplySiti Sdn. Bhd is the client for this project. As the brand of SimplySiti is getting famous among Malaysians, it is a good investment of time to propose an outlet for SimplySiti. The reason for this proposal is because of few factors. First, SimplySiti is a new brand yet a big potential brand to stand in the same group of international brands. Second, Simplysiti is depending on other shops and outlets to sell their products. Yet, SimplySiti doesn't have a permanent premise or selling floor for its own brand. The limitation of information and assistance provide the issue to the client. Having a single permanent premise will boost up the attention of the public because it will be the very first shop (premise) for SimplySiti. Then, the site chosen is located at 176, Jalan Maarof, Bangsar, 59000, Kuala Lumpur. It is private single building property owned by a fashion designer from Cambodia named Miss Sakinah Kosem.

Snooki has responded to reports that her husband Jionni LaValle had an account on extramarital affairs website AshleyMadison.
"Jionni is [one of] the most humble, respectful, and most loyal souls I know. I mean, hello, that's why I married him," she wrote on Instagram yesterday alongside a wedding photo of the two.
"Honestly, if he wanted to cheat–he would go out and do it. Not sign up on a website and pay for it."
Snooki also sounded off on Josh Duggar's admission that he used the website by slamming his wife Anna for standing by him. "What the fk is wrong with you?" she declared during her Tuesday podcast of Naturally Nicole. "What are you doing?"
Honestly, I believe her. I personally equate ASHLEY MADISON account holders with OLD NASTY MEN! lol Jionni is cute…he could get a girl the old fashioned way if he wanted to!

Important: Please read the Qt Code of Conduct - https://forum.qt.io/topic/113070/qt-code-of-conduct
Problem with updating itk image in Qt user interface
Angobar last edited by
I have a problem that I would like to tell you because is about some days that I don't have new ideas. Thanks in advanced
I have an image pointed with a double* pointer, and I want to translate it into itk::smartpointer for updating the user graphic interface, for this purpose I made this method :
@void prueba_r01::double2itk( double *im_proc, ImageType::Pointer salida, int alto, int ancho)
// This method translate the double image into itk:smartpointer image
ImageType::IndexType pixelIndex; // pixelIndex[0]= index x-axis; pixelIndex[1] = index y-axisy
ImageType::PixelType pixelValue;
ImageType::PixelType aux; //auxiliar variable for checking the behaviour of the programm
// Doing a sweep of all the image (is in double *im_proc) translating the values into itk pointer format
for (int x=0; x<ancho; x++){ // ancho: widht of the image
pixelIndex[0]=x;//x position
for (int y=0; y<alto; y++){ // alto: height of the image
pixelIndex[1]=y;//y position
pixelValue= (im_proc+x+anchoy);
aux = (*salida)->GetPixel(pixelIndex); // checking that the image has been correctly transtaled from im_proc to salida-- > CHECKED
And then is called here:
@ //Translation of the double* image into itk:smartpointer image
double2itk(out_inv, &(ui.imageframe->imagereader), alto, ancho); @
And after that, the user interface is updated:
@ // Update of the image shonw in the user interface
The problem is that it seems that everything is working correctly, but the image in the interface is not updated. Another option also valid for my project could be to stored the image in a '.bmp' or '.jpeg' file. Could someone help me? Any ideas of what is not working properly? Is there any function for creating this image files?
Thanks so much!!

Note: I have no clue what itk is.
What is imageframe->imagereader exactly?
Please note that QImages and QPixmaps are implicitly shared classes. That means that if you start changing one that you get from a widget, it will change a copy of the original one. To make the widget update, you have to explicitly set the image or the pixmap on the widget again.

First of all, thanks for replying, ITK is a cross-platform, open-source application development framework widely used for the development of image segmentation and image registration programs.
ui is the user interface, with that sentence I am calling the image which is displayed(is being readed) in the frame of the Qt graphic interface.

Hi everyone
Actually I'm working with ITK and I want to know how you did to integrate C++ with QT. I just want to know how it works because I'm new on it. I'm working on image co-registration using ITK and I want to display the result on a GUI with QT but I don't know how to proceed! any help??

They were the Godfather and Queen of Soul, but James Brown and Aretha Franklin didn't duet until decades into their respective careers, with songs like "Please, Please, Please" and "Gimme Your Love."
Years earlier, though, both made memorable cameos in the classic 1980 action comedy The Blues Brothers (which celebrated its 40th anniversary on June 20), starring Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi as musicians and small-time crooks who plot to save the orphanage in which they were raised. Brown took us to church as the sermon-crooning Rev. Cleophus James who shows Jake (Belushi) the light — at least to "get the band back together" — while Franklin played a sharp-tongued, lesson-belting soulful café owner Mrs. Murphy.
"What we have there is 40 years of heritage preservation, it venerates African American culture and music and the artists," Aykroyd tells Yahoo Entertainment in an interview Wednesday promoting his upcoming Travel Channel series Hotel Paranormal.
"You know, we were in our twenties when we made that movie, and it was made out of love for these artists." The Blues Brothers also featured cameos from Ray Charles, Chaka Khan, Cab Calloway and John Lee Hooker.
The Canadian-born actor remembers his nerves working overtime in the café scene where Franklin escalates a domestic dispute with her husband and Blues Brothers guitar player Matt Murphy into a full-blown jukebox musical number, lip-synching her 1968 cautionary anthem "Think." Initially it's just Franklin and the restaurant's waitresses dancing to the track, but eventually Jake and Elwood (Aykroyd) join in perfect step.
"I didn't know whether I was gonna be able to stand, because when that track started and I saw her doing it, and the fluidity of the moves and the music, my stomach turned to jelly and I couldn't feel my legs," he says. "I thought I was gonna get off [the stool] and blast to my knees and they'd have to stop the take. But I did get up there and get moving.

"The whole thing was a wonderful [experience]. Top five summers of my life, one of them, anyway."
Aykroyd maintained a lifelong relationship with Brown, who later appeared in the actor's 1983 comedy Doctor Detroit (playing — what else? — the band leader) and reprised his role as Cleophus James, singing "Please, Please, Please" in the after credits of the 1998 sequel Blues Brothers 2000, which replaced the late Belushi with John Goodman. (Franklin also returned for 2000, with Mrs. Murphy now running a Mercedes-Benz dealership and performing her most famous hit, "Respect.")
"His professionalism, and just the way he would get that band going, man, the discipline he would lay on the band made it all so crisp and amazing if you listen to those tracks," Aykroyd said of Brown, with whom he also opened multiple House of Blues music clubs.
Aykroyd also co-starred as promoter Ben Bart in the acclaimed 2014 Brown biopic Get On Up, starring Chadwick Boseman as the incomparable funk and soul legend.
"We were good friends, we lit up every time we saw each other," an emotional Aykroyd told Yahoo Entertainment about Brown (who died of congestive heart failure in 2006) on Get On Up's Jackson, Miss. set. "I miss him dearly."
The Blues Brothers is available to stream on Amazon; Hotel Paranormal premieres July 11 on the Travel Channel.

Which do you prefer? I prefer E-books when traveling, and Physical books when relaxing at home. Though I enjoy them both, since there's just something a bout holding a physical book.
I'd much rather have a physical book. It's so much simpler and more versatile. You can reread a sentence, you can laugh at typos, you can play with the bookmark, and they're easier to "pause".
Only thing e-books have for them (IMHO) is voice actors, if they even have any. And you can "read" while
hanging upsidedown from the ceiling Moccing.
There's something about turning physical pages that I don't like, I guess the texture, it gives me that feeling you get when nails scrape a black board, but not as bad.
Then again, I love gathering physical books, but once I read them I just never touch them again. XD
There's a difference between E-books and audio books... I just wanted to make that clear.
There's just something about the actual book, especially old books (Love the smell of old books, mmmm) that just draws me in, they feel so regal and defined. Perhaps it's the fact that it's physical, and boy do I love me some full bookcases.
I read e-books too, those are great for when you're on a trip and can't hold 50 books in your bag.
oh. Didn't know that.
still prefer the physical, though.
There's something I like about turning the pages of an actual book. E-books are fin I guess, but I always prefer hard-copies.
Both really.
it makes no difference to me, as long as I get to read a book.
I can't stand E-books. It hurts my eyes to read them (especially in the dark with the glowing screen). I also much prefer turning the page with my hand as apposed to swiping with my fingers.
I hate those pages that are shiny, and when your fingers are even the slightest bit damp, they make this weird noise. Ugh! Luckily, those are mostly nonfiction and young reader books, so I don't have to deal with them as much.
E-Book master race.
I agree.
I have this thing, where to read a series, I have to own the books. Is storage an issue? Yes. But I don't care. I need to own them physical books.
Both, prefer good audiobooks as well.
Audiobooks are underrated!
I don't have an e-reader, so by default I say normal books.
(Reading a book on my laptop or especially phone would be weird.) [spoiler'd for very slight religious content]
Actually, I do read the Bible on my phone. But I do like a physical book better.)
Thats because they defeat the purpose of reading.
In what way?
Because your supposed to actually read the words. If your listening to a book, you didnt read, you heard.
While it's true that they defeat the purpose of reading, they are good for when you're multitasking, or simply don't have time to sit down and read (which is why I use them). They also serve another purpose, improving listening skills.
Okay, so you listened to the book. Does that make it any less of a valid medium than print?

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Revenue Reaches $100 Million!
Bluehole has revealed that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds revenue reached $100 million! That's a lot of money, considering the game has not really officially launched! This amount was reached in a matter of 13 weeks, as reported by Eurogamer.
|Playerunknowns Battlegrounds
If you want more numbers, here's more: the game also reached a total of 4 million copies sold! If this is not a huge milestone for an Early Access game, I don't even know what is!
And that's not all, people. PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has also hit 230,000 concurrent players on Steam, as well as 350,000 simultaneous viewers on Twitch. Wow.
Its player base has also been steadily spreading and increasing globally, and we're surprised the game can keep up. Here's a breakdown:
- United States = 24%
- China = 19%
- Germany = 6%
- Russia = 6%
- South Korea = 5.5%
- Japan 4.3%
- United Kingdom = 4%
We're pretty sure the game's player base will spread to more territories in the future, considering how popular this game is right now, and with it being launched on the Xbox One later this year. For now, we can only stand and watch in awe. Jaws dropped.

Having the skills of experienced commercial and residential electricians in Montclair NJ such as O'Hara Electric is important when it comes to the home renovation procedure, even for the committed DIY home improver.

That's why having a reliable electrician like O'Hara Electric on your side is essential for each homeowner. Performing improvements to your home in terms of comfort, safety and function is what our highly trained professionals are all about. Despite the fact that it may be tempting to tackle many an attic fan installation or 200 amp service upgrading, unless you're trained properly you may do more harm then good. Make O'Hara Electric your first choice when you're searching for a residential electrician in Madison NJ and save yourself the risk and the hassle.
Electrician Montclair NJ
Obtaining an electrical inspection from a qualified residential electrician in Montclair NJ prior to buying your home is a smart idea many people neglect to think about. It's basic protocol to receive a general home inspection. On the other hand, an expert from O'Hara Electric will have the ability to give your electrical systems considerably more focus than you will receive from a general home inspector. Simply hiring an electrician to give the home a comprehensive inspection will let you know if the house is really up to code. This is additionally a perfect chance to make certain that serious problems that will have to be dealt with prior to the sale being finalized are flagged. If there are any major issues you are facing an experienced electrician is going to be able to tell right away. Electrical codes might not be met by older houses as a result of the fact that they might have faulty wiring which is capable of being unsafe. A complete rewiring of your property may be required, unfortunately in this instance. Having a trusted residential electrician on your side can be a great benefit for this reason. Knob and tube wiring replacement for major projects is still budget-friendly and affordable when you make us your first choice. Make O'Hara your first choice for an electrician in Madison NJ for any type of major electrical work to help your home meet current electrical codes.
Residential Electrician Madison NJ
Attempting to do work on their own instead of contacting a professional electrical contractor in Montclair NJ is common among homeowners that are trying to save money. Although there are homeowners that are capable of performing their own attic fan installation, contacting a professional is simply wiser. This is particularly true in the event the job is a lot larger than that. This is why it's vital to have a professional electrician from O'Hara Electric perform the work the right way the first time. A professional residential electrician will check the amperage of the circuit and the wattage of the new fixture when performing something like an attic fan installation, for instance. There might be examples where the amperage is not high enough to handle the wattage of the light. In this case, an additional wire is going to be capable of being run from the circuit breaker. Generally, it's wise to have a professional handle this kind of project. Not only is it safer for you, in the long term it will save you a great deal of time, money and hassle. O'Hara specializes in a variety of jobs which range from something as small as smoke detector installation to electrical work for large commercial spaces as an elite lighting fixture installations company. It does not matter what your wants are from a commercial or residential electrician in Madison NJ. Contact us right away.

See article published on TheCSPN and listen to Lewis' speech: Bengals Head Coach Marvin Lewis speaks at MHS
You're only young once.
Bengals Head Coach Marvin Lewis made a special appearance last Wednesday evening at a lecture series hosted by Mason African American Students for Change. Lewis headlined with a primary message of strength of character, but even touched on other topics relevant to high school students, like the importance of perseverance, communication, and making the most out of youth.
Lewis had been asked several times to speak at Mason High School, but was finally able to do so for the first time last week. According to MAASC advisor Jocelyn Burlew, Lewis was chosen to speak because of his huge impact on the Cincinnati community.
"We thought it was very interesting that even though he [has] coached [many different teams]…he's really set to roots here and his Community Fund," Burlew said. "He's already shown strength of character by sewing into Cincinnati's community. He's already shown that he cares about the students here, and not just in Mason – in Cincinnati. So [we thought] why not tap into someone who is here, who is willing to do this, [and] we thought he would a great person [to have as a speaker]."
With 34 years of coaching under his belt, 11 of them in college football and 23 of them in the NFL, Lewis started his speech out by conveying his passion for the job.
"I've been very blessed to do what I do, to do it as long as I've done it and so forth, but it's something that I guess all my life I wanted to do," Lewis said. "And I feel very fortunate to do something that I love to do each and every day. I hope that all of you have that opportunity in your future in what you choose to do in your life [because] I've been blessed with that and hopefully you [are] as well."
Another thing Lewis told the audience, which consisted mostly of high school students and a few parents, was the change in times. Growing up in a small town outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with 160 in his graduating class, Lewis said Mason High School was a stark contrast. And so are the challenges presented to youths today.
"Strength of character," Lewis said. "Those are big words with you young people and the challenges you face each and every day. [They are] way different than what I faced when I was in your shoes in the mid-70s. I graduated from high school in 1976, so when I graduated and was going on to college and so forth, I think the challenges and things that I faced were far less than what you do."
Today, Lewis uses his Community Fund to help younger people with their challenges.
"With the [Marvin Lewis] Community Fund, we have an opportunity to affect young people," Lewis said. "We've given up scholarships now for 53 [young people] in our 11 years of existence…so I'm very very fortunate to be able to do that."
One of the recent recipients of that Community Fund was MHS graduate Nick Whitmore, a cross country runner who suffered a traumatic brain injury in his sophomore year of high school, but eventually overcame that obstacle and is currently a successful college student. Lewis used Whitmore among icons like Rosa Parks and Barack Obama as a few examples of people who have shown strength of character. According to him and his experience as a recruiter, they all possess important traits that people today need to remember and value.
"What [NFL prospects have] done on tape is always what counts," Lewis said. "But one of things we do is, I have the opportunity to sit down with 60 of those guys…[and] one of the people in our group is a psychologist. And he takes these players through a small quick banter of three to four minutes of questions. One of the questions that he will ask about half of them is, 'Who is Rosa Parks? Tell me who Rosa Parks was'…You would be amazed as to how few people know. The players we ask, they have an idea of who Rosa Parks is, but they don't know in that [much] depth..And it's really something we've lost sight of, particularly for minorities in our country. We've lost sight of that. And it's somewhat of a shame because she was a big part of the civil rights movement."
Education was an important ideal, along with strong character, emphasized by Lewis.
"Don't allow people to set limits on what you do," Lewis said. "Where you are right now in your life — you have so much ahead of you. It's something I look at all the time with guys coming into the NFL, when you have an opportunity to continue to grow and learn, take full advantage of that. The saying 'knowledge is power' — that's really truthful…Your education here is basically free. So take full advantage of it, gather as much knowledge as you can right here, right now, and when you move forward in life, whatever you choose to do…go about it full-speed ahead, but gain every bit of knowledge you can right now because we don't get a chance to backtrack."
After being enlightened by Lewis's lecture, Burlew said she hopes the general idea of "cherishing these glory day"' gets across to the busy students of today.
"The biggest impact that [the lecture] had on me — that hopefully impacts [the guests] — is the idea of soaking up as much information as you can now, [and] not rushing like, 'You're gonna get out, you're gonna be working soon,' — not rushing that, but enjoying the time you have and soaking in all the information and every opportunity that you have," Burlew said.
According to Burlew, the main thing MAASC was focusing on this year as an organization was promoting diversity, through a diversity of events.
"We've tried to make it where it'll hit the inner spot of someone — whether you're musical or sport[y] or you wanna hear a speaker or you wanna participate, so that's our goal," Burlew said. "We're hoping to raise that bar and have really great turnouts. We've had at least probably 100 kids each night."
Along with a film viewing of '42' and a Spoken Word contest, Marvin Lewis was just one of featured events for MAASC's jampacked week. And according to Burlew, it will hopefully get their club's message across to the community.
"Our goal always is to bring awareness to diverse issues here in Mason and also to realize that hopefully Black History Month isn't just Black History Month and Hispanic Heritage Month…[but] as Coach Lewis said, respecting everyone for who they are and understanding differences and embracing those [differences]," Burlew said. "We're hoping that this isn't any different than anything else that's happening in Mason High School all the time. We're hoping that this is just one more way that we can give back to our community, and our community can see 'Yeah, we embrace diversity at all levels, all the time, and [it just so] happens to have a few more things in February.'"

The TRA200 shredder is a machine designed to crush long and sharp metal shavings and, at the same time, by means of an automatic ejection system, to handle pieces inside the turning without compromising the integrity of the knives.
The shredder is equipped with a slow rotating shaft driven by a power-driven motor on which a knife set of easily replaceable knifes is mounted, which, by crossing a comb knife, create the cutting effect. Below the shaft there is an interchangeable screen that, depending on the size of the openings, defines the size of the shredded chip and thus the shredder's hourly rate.Chip volume reduction efficiency and time of shredder TRA200 can be evaluated with experimental tests on your chip at FAMA s.r.l.
Power : 3 kw
- Case made of sturdy metal;
- Set of movable knives in special wear-resistant material;
- Adjustable fixed double edge blades in wear-resistant material;
- Flexible coupling;
- Screening with customizable holes (from Ø6 to Ø20 mm);
- Screening opening system by removable metal rods;
- automatic ejection system
- 3 kW geared motor.
- Tailor-made support structure in sturdy metal on adjustable feet;
- Connection hopper, for conveying shavings to the crushing mouth;
- Slide rails for security access to the crushing mouth;
- Safety switch for turning off the crusher in case of opening of the crushing chamber;
- increased power in geared motor;
- Amperometric circuit breaker;
- Electrical control panel.
The TRA200 crusher has been developed to meet the requirement to make chips smaller as to be transported by a pneumatic system.
FAMA srl, indeed manufactures centralized pneumatic chips suction systems. In case of scattered or long tangled shavings, the TRA200 crusher reduces them before suction, handling, in the same time, a small quantity of pieces.
In this case the TRA200 crusher is installed over the GSM. The GSM is a chip container that accumulates chips before suction. A level sensor books the GSM, when full, for the cleaning. Chips are conveyed to the suction point to be transferred to the collection point.
