Thread: Do power attic fans help?
In all honesty, I think best bang for the buck is THICK insulation on the attic floor, and AIRTIGHT ductwork if it is in the attic. Bottom line. Unless you insulate the roof deck, or unless you employ a radiant barrier with a 99.xx% radiant heat reflectivity, a ventilated attic will not stay near ambient temperatures, which is the ideal goal of any attic ventilation scheme.
For much residential construction, the largest contributors to heat gain into the structure (which determines the quantity and capacity of cooling needed to keep the interior comfortable) are windows and infiltration (leakage). A nominally insulated attic floor will keep heat gain from the attic to the interior below the percentages gained through single pane windows (particularly unshaded windows) and infiltration, Airtight, well-insulated ducts that run through the attic will assure the a/c system delivers more of its actual cooling output to the rooms vs. being lost to the attic via air leaks and heat gain into the ducts from the hot attic air and surfaces."In this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!"
- Homer Simpson
To explore this idea of heat gain source distribution further, consider the following heat gain calculations to a 144 square foot room (12 x 12, a common bedroom size) with a standard eight foot ceiling and a six foot by four foot window, single pane glass aluminum frame, shaded. Above ceiling is R40 insulation in attic. Only one wall adjoins the exterior, and has an R value of 16. Attic temperature is 128 degrees. Outdoor air temperature is 90. Outdoor humidity is 40%. Indoor air temperature is 75 degrees at 50% relative humidity.
Heat gain via the ceiling with R40 insulation is 190 btu per hour (btu/hr)
Heat gain via the wall with R16 insulation is 64 btu/hr
Heat gain via the single pane window is 443 btu/hr
Heat gain (sensible) via infiltration @ .5 air changes/hr is 155 btu/hr
Heat gain (latent) via infiltration @ .5 is 143 btu/hr
Heat gain via two people seated in room at rest is 500 btu/hr
So...apart from the occupants of the room, which above factors contribute the most heat gain to the 144 square foot room? Answer: it's not the ceiling, nor the walls. Combined, these two equal less heat gain than that one single pane window! The one window adds almost as much heat to the space as two people. Even total infiltration lags behind the one window's sensible heat gain by 145 btuh.
Note that the attic to room temperature difference is around 53 degrees. The outdoor to indoor temperature difference is only 15. The one window transfers more heat for its small size, with a lower temperature difference, than 144 square feet of ceiling with R40 insulation underneath a 128 degree attic!
Bottom line: if you have money to improve your home energy use and comfort level, skip the powered attic fan, insulate your attic floor well, and replace crappy windows."In this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!"

Thanks for your insight shophound. I currently have R19 insulation in the attic and if my research is correct the recomendation for our area is R49 so I should add an additional layer of R30. My windows are double insulated so hopefully they are not contributing to my problem. I have checked my ductwork for leaksand all are sealed tight. As far as the radient barrier I have found RB foil on line that is to be stapled to the underside of the rafters. Is this the best system you are aware of that can be added to an existing attic? Thanks again
From the website at this link:
Experiments with various levels of conventional insulation show that the percentage reduction in ceiling heat flow due to the addition of a radiant barrier is larger with lower amounts of insulation. Since the fraction of the whole-house heating and cooling load that comes from the ceiling is larger when the amount of insulation is small, radiant barriers produce the most energy savings when used in combination with lower levels of insulation. Similarly, radiant barriers produce significantly less energy savings when used in combination with high levels of insulation.
In particular, the radiant barrier you select should have an emissivity rating of 0.05 or lower. Be sure you check this, and be sure the shiny side is installed toward the attic, not the roof deck."In this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!"

there are 3 strategies for ventilation
each one stands alone..meaning there is good proven reason not to mix them.
1- gable end vents
2- soffit and ridge venting
3- soffit and turbines (not power attic ventilators)
when you mix these strategies, bad stuff happens.
southface inst. has an excellent air sealing guide downloadable as
a pdf file. very detailed pictures defining air leakage sites,
and best ways to seal them.
you should air seal leaks between attic and living spaces
before insulating. insulation does not air seal unless it is foam insulation.
air moving through insulation reduces its R-value. you can add
more insulation but it will not perform if you don't stop the
leakage sites.
I'm a big fan of radiant barriers.
southface also has a downloadable on this. I find it to be comperable to florida solar energy centers info.
best of luck.The cure of the part should not be attempted without the cure of the whole. ~Plato
I like option 4, don't vent it, seal it up blow the foam on the underside of the deck, on the gable walls.
From the point of view of keeping the heat out, I would take a sealed attic with bubble wrap insulation only over any of those vented options. The heat part is peanuts, the problem is all the humidity and infiltration the vented attic causes in your homeThe way we build has a greater impact on our comfort, energy consumption and IAQ than any HVAC system we install.
I have a white roof, it is about R7, it keeps heat out in the first place. Proably a 2F temperature differential through 2 air films and a 1/2" layer of sheet rock, that is the heat that makes it into the living space.
The air handler and ductwork up there is not being irradiated, and there is no mositure to sweat on it because it is sealed. The "10%" penalty for ductwork and an airhandler is reason enough to seal up the damn attic.The way we build has a greater impact on our comfort, energy consumption and IAQ than any HVAC system we install.
06-15-2009, 11:37 PM #154The way we build has a greater impact on our comfort, energy consumption and IAQ than any HVAC system we install.
What I do not get is the mentality in trhe second link. If it does not instantly pay back it is deemed not to be a good investment.
I believe it is mainly radiant heat in an attic, and radiant heat is based on temperature to the power of 4. So the other thing I do not get, is why let that roof deck get that hot in the first place so that it radiates like hell?The way we build has a greater impact on our comfort, energy consumption and IAQ than any HVAC system we install.
I reread the second link and didn't see what you were referring to. Maybe I missed it, but I skimmed over it several times.
I agree about the folly of letting a roof deck cook the crap out of an attic, and ducts mounted in an attic. My own home has the spray-on radiant barrier. It does not have as good of an emissivity number as the foil based RB products do, but in all honesty I think the biggest difference it makes is reducing heat gain to my supply ducts in the attic. The supply ducts are round metal wrapped in fifty year old foil faced fiberglass. I do not ever feel a hot blast of air come out of the registers when the a/c kicks on after being off for awhile, and I do not read a considerable sensible temperature gain between the supply plenum and supply diffusers in adjacent rooms.
Yesterday the attic reached 128 with 94 degrees outdoor ambient air. The insulation level is probably around R-40. I went around with my IR thermometer, shooting the ceiling surfaces throughout the house. Nothing read over two degrees above room temperature except in the master bath, which has no supply register. I measured several single pane aluminum frame windows remaining in the house, sat down with the known u factors of my ceiling plane and single pane windows...the percent of gain from the ceiling vs. the window was astounding. Since my house has three foot overhangs the entire perimeter of the structure, most of the windows are in deep shade most of the day. Even so, a single pane aluminum frame window is just an ass kicker when it comes to heat gain vs. a well insulated ceiling plane with spray-on radiant barrier on the roof deck."In this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!"

You know those crop circles that you hear about? One theory is that aliens are really trying to write on our landscapes in their own language.
Now why would aliens do that, when this man, Nick Newcomen, just scrawled out a message on planet Earth in a human language. You can read it in the photo.
Newcomen drove for 30 days, through 30 states, for a grand total of 12,238 miles. He had a Qstarz BT-Q1000X as the medium for his message, and it can only seen with Google Earth with the recorded GPS device data.
This is probably the biggest sign in the world. It makes the Hollywood letters look like very fine legal print. Only the Great Wall of China could underline these three words.
Just to let you know, the driver didn't write these words in order. He had to write the word "Rand", then went north to write "Read", and managed to do "Ayn". Clearly the works of Anthem, The Fountainhead, and Atlas Shrugged are worth reading with this devotion. Let's be glad that his favorite author wasn't Fyodor Dostoevsky or something even longer. I wonder if he had to go off-road in order to make some of these giant letters.
Seriously, are the roads in the United States shaped like letters so well? Leave a comment if you know if anyone else has done something like this.

Chapter 1: | Reading Post-Colonial Australia |
the Arcadian was in constant contention with the dystopian view of the limitlessness of Australian space. This led to representations of what I have called the "horizonal sublime" ("Horizonal Sublime"). But gradual change in the apprehension of Australia continued in painters such as William Buvelot and Eugene von Guérard until the Heidelberg school in the nationalist nineties claimed to represent the "true" Australia.
The ambivalent struggle over representation occurs also in language, of course, and we can see in Henry Kendall's poem "Bellbirds" the way in which the contention over how place should be seen prompts a process of linguistic transformation:
And down the dim gorges I hear the creek falling:
It lives in the mountain where moss and the sedges
Touch with their beauty the banks and the ledges.
Through breaks of the cedar and sycamore bowers
Struggles the light that is love to the flowers;
And, softer than slumber and sweeter than singing,
The notes of the bell-birds are running and ringing. (23)
By any account, this canonical poem continues the formal style of British nineteenth-century poetry. Kendall is writing about the bush in the way Conrad Martens paints Sydney, according to received technique. "Sycamore," "moss," "sedges," and "bowers" gesture to a very pronounced English pastoral poetic diction. But we can see the beginnings of language transformation in the word "creek." "Creek" is a midlands term for a body of water, or inlet, that has been appropriated into Australian English to signify a stream or small river. The word "creek" does not itself indicate a different spatial reality, it does not come from any indigenous language, but the difference of the word to describe a stream metonymically signifies a different place. Here is a formal and conventional English poem in which we see the beginnings of Australian English. The process becomes more pronounced, as it does in all post-colonial Anglophone writing, when the vernacular is incorporated into the text.

ok, so you may have been wondering what i've been doing since i completed Dreamworld a month ago. Well, i've made a new game!
it's small by my standards, and doesn't have too many puzzles, but i do consider it to be the most difficult of the 3 games i've done, mainly because the skill level required is much higher than Dreamworld or Diamond Mine.
as always, let me know if you find any bugs. Have fun!

I take pride in doing ok at my level without buyign gear at all. I do't give a shit about others.
Though i occasionally ask friends to leave if they are twinked to fuck, as I want to see how i can do alone.
know this will stop at act2 inferno until 1.0.3, but who cares really ?
(ps. Not me - will probably stop then and play another class, or i dunnow, go back to my yacht in space)
No. A Rhinoceros is not a fat Unicorn.
After announcement of RMAH I gave up any ideas I had of pvp
I mean what's the point? You can either invest a couple 100$ which I don't intend to do, or lose to people who do intend to pay a couple 100$. I mean if the game wasn't so much gear based then eh it can work. But what I've seen so far it is more likely the class + gear that will own in pvp, rather than actual skill of the player.
I mean diablo 2 was also gear based but an item upgrade of a few dps was an item upgrade of a few dps. The scaling on the gear in d3 is extreme to the point that a small increase in gear can mean a lot to your performance. Which is probably intentional (people 'feel' when they get an upgrade) but for pvp? eh...
Whiteknight mode on:
1. they have stated numerous times the game is balanced around no AH.
2. Blizzard is a HUGE company. They are under a massive spotlight. Any clandestine shenanigans will fuck them.
3. I doubt more than 1% of players will use the RMAH (note: making this shit up) and they'd use Ebay anyway.

Breaking the pyramid
You would be surprised. Farming high lvl inferno areas was pretty much a massive goldmine soon after release. People started to take notice so they just farmed all day erryday once they got there. Things like resume game -> waypoint to quest -> kill quest mob, loot -> port out and leave/rejoin rinse repeat.
Because the demand was high and the supply relatively low, the very few that did get there started selling items by the boatloads. The very first 'wave' of high lvl inferno people was really really small, but the amount of gear they provided allowed for a larger group to get to higher acts, who also did the same and such the cycle continued.
So now you can get act 4 inferno items on AH for a couple 100k. But before this the actual people who got there first, they were very few.
It should also be noted that during this time things like 3second smokescreen and 4.7k hp force armor wizard were the order of the day.
Such build what would be considered "cheap" got through inferno quick and were amongst the first to begin the loot sale.
i hate this thread
No longer Deleting all your posts erryday due to butthurt
usually pink or pinkest flamingo in other games
Hopefully they introduce ladders like in D2, that should cause the shit-storm to die down as ladder characters/items/stashes get partitioned out once or twice a year.

The fucking tears in this thread ...
Greatest opportunity to profit from lulz since ever. Wait till peeps start buying peeveepee gear. Fucking win, gives a reason to play this garbage. Will now actually download pandabear beta as the chance rmah does nor come to wow is essentially nil in the face of declining sub numbers.
inb4 you lose gear to peeveepee deaths.
Must say because of rmah iam tempted to script an ah bot.. do you think warden will detect it when sleeptimes and coordinates are randomized (by a degree of some pixels)? Should be even doable with a simple g15 makro so not even using autoit.....

I think the problem people have with people being able to buy things with money is that it reaffirms ones station in life in an environment where you've gone to escape from that, or at least feel like your skill is the difference maker. If you're reminded of how poor you are by someone who buys shitloads of gear on RMAH, well it's hardly uplifting.
(I don't subscribe to the above opinion by the way, just presenting it as a reason people might find real-money markets in games annoying)
Another view is:
I could spend 2 hours farming inferno and maybe get a drop, or do 2 hours overtime and buy a 200$ sword.
(nb: i'd actually do a weekend's overtime and take myself and the missus diving for a week, but that's not the point)

I was tipsy at a party and wailing in woe to a male friend about the fact that I only seem to attract old over weight men when I go out. This is true. The oldest man in the joint is drawn to me with a magnet like attraction, its quite uncanny that it occurs with such frequency.
I was half-joking but my friend replied that as a young guy he would never talk to me, although I am ok looking I wear a lot of black and it makes me unapproachable and intimidating. 'If you were wearing jeans, nice a t-shirt and a blazer I would definitely talk to you'.
This had never occurred to me before. I consider outfits, but combinations from my wardrobe which is a hybrid of impulse buys that I have been attracted to. At the moment this is black clothes. I never set out to create a 'look' though I see that one has formed towards the dark and gothic. I guess I have been naive to how quickly and superficially first impressions are made..
I would never wear 'jeans, a nice t-shirt and a blazer' because I would not feel comfortable doing so. Jeans do not flatter me, t-shirts for the main part do not interest me. Also I feel that if fashion perceptions are as strong as my friend suggests, to dress in jeans would be misleading. A boy who liked me looking like that wouldn't actually like me. Who dresses for men anyway! You can't please everyone so you might as well please yourself.

Next Product »The Accessible Pedestrian System is an audible and vibrating pedestrian signal system designed to make street crossing safer for individuals who are blind, deaf, hard of hearing, or who have low vision. The system consists of a driver unit and a push button unit. The driver unit provides all the necessary electronics to drive an audio tactile transducer, located in the push button unit, which creates audible and tactile walk and don't walk signals. The audible output of the push button has three tones: a locating or don't walk tone that allows pedestrians to find the push button and also warns pedestrians not to cross, a transitional or walk tone, and a crossing tone. The locating or don't walk tone is 1000 Hertz (1000Hz) +/- 50Hz with a repetition rate of 0.55Hz +/- 0.05Hz; the transition or walk tone starts with a burst at 3500Hz +/- 500Hz and then decreases exponentially to 700Hz +/- 100Hz; and the crossing tone is 500Hz +/- 25Hz with a repetition rate or 8.5Hz +/- 0.5Hz. This audible pedestrian signal includes automatic gain control. A microphone constantly measures ambient noise and the control unit responds by adjusting the volume of the audible output for both the walk and don't walk tones. The push button pulsates simultaneously with the sounds to provide vibro-tactile information. The button unit features a tactile arrow that points in the direction of the crosswalk. The actuator button is made of solid stainless steel. OPTIONS: Light emitting diode (LED) indicator to signal to individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing that they have placed a call to the controller for a walk cycle. DIMENSIONS: The acutating button is 50 millimeters in diameter.
Notes: The manufacturer states that the push button on this product is in compliance with Singapore LTA Specification clause II.2.f. ** The manufacturer states that it has been authorised to use the C-Tick Mark, a compliance label for electronic equipment from the Australian Communication Authority (ACA).
Price: Contact manufacturer.

I was thinking maybe you guys could indicate which stores have a good range of demo boards in stock, or maybe running a few specific demo days in popular spots.
I know there are a number of stores that have done demos in the past but when I've made enquiries they've basically said it was too much of a hassle to continue to do that.
it isn't necessarily all about trying different shapes (although there's definitely that), as also trying different lengths to be sure you've got the right size before plunking down the hard earned.

An Opening to Pre-Academic Training
On July 18-19th, the Training and Monitoring team hosted the Pre-Academic Training Orientation for the 25 PRESTASI Scholars. This two-day launching event was the beginning of a series of training, aimed to prepare the PRESTASI Scholars before departing to the US to study. Pre-Academic Training consisted of SPSS training (3 days), Leadership Training (2 days) and English for Academic Purpose (ranging from 1 to 5.5 months). These trainings will equip Scholars with critical skills they need to quickly adjust with the academic living of US universities.
The event was held in the Acacia Hotel, Central Jakarta, and the first day of orientation was attended by USAID representatives, particularly from the Technical Offices. In their opening remarks, the USAID representatives requested the PRESTASI Scholars to maximize their time during their study in the US and to prepare themselves as best as possible.
"(PRESTASI Scholars) are the 'diplomats' in essence, to introduce Indonesia to USA (people). USA wants to have a strong relationship with Indonesia, people with people", said Cheryl Anderson from USAID Program Office.
The remarks were followed by an introduction session where all of the Scholars had 3 minutes for a 'small interview' with each other, and to ask some random and simple questions. This session was jovial since it was the first time that the Scholars met each other, although some had become 'friends' through Facebook.
The first-day orientation was closed by a presentation from Ms. Sisilia Halimi of LBI-UI—the institution where the PRESTASI Scholars will have lessons on English for Academic Purpose. During their studying period in LBI-UI, PRESTASI Scholars will learn to improve their English through sessions like Academic Writing and Note Taking, and enhance their score before taking the TOEFL® IBT exam.
The second-day orientation was more focused on informing the Scholars about the procedure that they have to go through before departing to the US. The sessions were delivered by Ms. Lensi Mursida and Ms. Wiwin Erikawati as the Deputy Chief of Party and Training Manager of PRESTASI. During her presentation, Ms. Wiwin highlighted the importance of smooth communication between Scholars and IIEF, as the executor of PRESTASI.
As most of the PRESTASI Scholars are Government Officials or working under Government-related bodies, they must understand how crucial it is for them to meet all the administrative requirements conditioned by their employer, such as arranging their Government Passports.
The closing session was Alumni Sharing session, led by Agus Yudi Wicaksono, an Alumnus from Michigan State University majoring in Public Policy, and Endah Tri Kurniawaty, a graduate of School of Public and Environmental Affairs from Indiana University. They both reminded the Scholars that they must mentally as well as biologically prepare themselves. In addition, they also gave suggestion to Scholars that they do not need to bring a lot of outfit in order to prepare for the seasons in the US. Scholars were enthusiastically asking questions to the Alumni, especially about the learning atmosphere in the US universities.

Living in Newmarket, NH
The history of Newmarket began when members of the Squamscott Tribe lived on the west side of the Lamprey River. The settlement of Europeans began in the early 17th century when settlers began moving south from Dover and north from Exeter.
During the industrial era, the Newmarket Manufacturing Company was established in 1822. The opening of the company created a domino effect, as other factories, homes, shops and institutions to open up in the region. New mills were used for water power for cotton production, which was based on practices used by the Boston Manufacturing Company of Waltham.
By the 1920s, development started to level off and by the time the Great Depression hit, local building and manufacturing declined significantly. For some time, the economic development of Newmarket almost entirely disappeared, but after the depression ended the Sam Smith Shoe Co. came to the area.
The history of these times still lives on in the community. Many of the old mill buildings and shops in downtown Newmarket are still standing and serve other purposes today. The town still retains its 19th century industrial, commercial, public and domestic architecture.

On the weekend of Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th May 2012 I met up with my official sponsor GBR Nutrition and travelled up to the NEC Arena in Birmingham for the Martial Arts Show 2012. Unfortunately the MMA show, due for the same day, was postponed, but it was an interesting and eventful weekend nonetheless.
GBR were promoted products at the event with Mass Gain Powders, Protein Shakes and Sports Goods available on good offers, see www.gbrnutrition.com for the latest offers, and meeting the GBR team with the likes of Ray Ramnath, Gary Pettengell, Steve Gray, Anthony Liles, Anup Aryal and Sara Thompson was great. There was plenty occuring over the weekend which was good for entertainment, Mai Thai boxing fights taking place, a Miss Galaxy competition on hosted by Sarah Donohue and Miss Galaxy Universe, The Law of One act with information on acting combat performances and plenty more… there was also Terminator from Britain's Got Talent wandering around, he kept talking to me, and also a man who can balance a washing machine on his head…
I met a number of interesting characters and I may confess to using my Marathon Running skills in the early hours of Sunday Morning in search of the nearest Kebab shop. I found one, possibly 8 miles away… What a diamond!
You can get a 10% discount on supplements from GBR with 20% aiding charity JDRF if you purchase with Code GAVG!

We used photographs of Harlem voguers from a Paper Magazine article titled the New York Ballroom Scene Is Heating Up – No Shade for their October 2012 issue.
Paper Magazine reports that the New York City ball scene is nothing new. Since the 1920s, African-American men have dressed up as women and "butch queens" and sashayed and shantayed down runways, competing in categories like Vogue Femme, Realness and Face and creating elaborate couture-inspired costumes on behalf of their "houses" like Labeija, Xtravaganza and Ninja.
The scene, which originated in Harlem and mostly features all varieties of gender-nonconforming men and women of color, was popularized in the early '90s by documentary filmmaker Jennie Livingston in the seminal Paris Is Burning, and by Madonna who brought "voguing" into the popular lexicon using legendary House of Xtravaganza members Jose Gutierez and Luis Camacho in her music video for "Vogue."
The scene has continued to flourish since then (though many of the early voguing pioneers, featured in Paris Is Burning, passed away from AIDS), and in 2004, the Kiki ball scene, a sort of junior varsity-level, lower-key alternative, was born, as a place where young kids who maybe didn't have the polished skills to compete with the big boys could hone their chops. In addition to dozens of Mainstream houses, there are now nine major Kiki houses, with anywhere from 50 to 150 members each, with many of the Kiki kids also belonging to Mainstream houses, and using the Kiki scene as a way to gain leadership experience and, well, have a kiki.
Much ink has been spilled recently referring to a voguing "renaissance" (the House of Xtravaganza's 30th anniversary ball was covered by the New York Times and a Kiki ball held in a parking lot where the legendary Rockland Palace once stood, received a write-up in The New Yorker) but that wouldn't be entirely accurate. Vogue balls have been happening uninterrupted for decades. However, with a country more accepting of homosexuality; artists like Beyoncé, Azealia Banks and Lady Gaga using voguers in their music videos; the reality show America's Best Dance Crew incorporating the moves into their repertoire; and a new wave of rappers associated with the scene like Le1f and Zebra Katz, voguing is bubbling up into the mainstream once again. "It's not like we had a meeting and said let's make this more widespread," Twiggy Pucci Garçon, founder of the Kiki House of Pucci and a member of the Mainstream House of Comme des Garçons, explains.
"But because all kinds of sexuality are becoming more accepted, this is going hand in hand with it. There's also a certain sect of the community who are fed up with creating things and not getting credit," he says, referring to the frustration when artists like Madonna and Beyoncé get recognized for dance and fashion styles created by voguers. "People have taken from our community, stolen our moves and never given us a thank you or acknowledgement," Chi Chi Mizrahi Unbothered, a founder of the Kiki House of Unbothered-Cartier and member of the Mainstream House of Mizrahi, says. "So people are taking their creativity by the horns and making sure the world acknowledges us."

New Artist Spotlight: Alex Andreev, Elizabeth Noble, Glenn Quist, and Danielle Tibedo
Alex Andreev. St. Petersburg, Russia.
Alex Andreev embarks on a "journey of the intuition" as he delves into childhood memories and dreams to create his art. Alex is attracted to digital art for its freedom and ease of use. He overcomes the hurdles of traditional mediums by digitalizing images and layering one symbol on top of another.
Elizabeth Noble. Phoenix, Arizona.
Elizabeth Noble's background in architecture fuels a more fluid and loose painting style. With a Bachelor of Architecture from Arizona State University under her belt, Elizabeth delves into representational impressionism as a detour from the rigidity of building fundamentals. Still, her art offers structure that is playful enough to echo the works of Sorolla, Vasquez, Turner and Van Gogh.
Glenn Quist. Elk River, Minnesota.
Evening Wine Tasting
Glenn Quist is like Edward Hopper in his choice of subject matter and in Modigliani style. Glenn derives images from memory and imagination and imbues them with highly stylized colors and shapes. Rather than tell a story directly, Glenn invites his view to derive their own meaning from his work. His paintings are mystical portraits of the subconscious and are "somewhere between dreams and reality."
Danielle Tibedo. Yucca Valley, California.
Sunshine in the City
Living in Joshua Tree, California has its perks. For Danielle Tibedo, living in the desert offers her endless inspiration. Her passion for nature and love of pure expression are the pillars of her work. With wild abandon and a unabashed style, she turns painting into a spiritual quest to discover beauty.
Guest Blog: Christopher Patrick's Favorite Interior Designs with Art
We just love the work of designer Christopher Patrick of Christopher Patrick Interiors! That's why we've brought him on to the blog to share some of his favorite art interiors with us! Check out his picks below.
As an interior designer I'm often asked to select artwork for my clients. It's a tough task considering that artwork can be so personal; but a challenge I'm willing to undertake. I'm a firm believer in pairing works of art that you love with interiors that you love. Not everything has to be matchy matchy. Whether its traditional or contemporary, abstract or realism, photography or oil on canvas, artwork can make a space more engaging and dynamic. I've chosen a few examples that explore different ways designers have added artwork to their spaces to create a cohesive look.
Victoria Hagan uses an over-scale photograph in sepia tones to compliment her tailored interior. Anchored by a large velvet sofa, this piece of art becomes like a portal into a different world.
Jamie Drake has never been one to shy away from color, and this project is no different. Using a collection of Gene Davis paintings to add even more color to an already bold entry hall, Drake has managed to turn an otherwise feature color into a "neutral" background color to set off the artwork. I love the way he's gathered this collection into two groups of three with a third group of four at the top; one more way to add drama to the space
Frank Roop added artwork in this space that compliments the interior's overall color scheme. The nature inspired color palette is only further enhanced by photographs of landscapes. On such a graphic focal wall, Roop has paired out of focus photography to balance the crisp horizontal stripes. In white frames and white matting these works of art are set apart from the colors on the wall. It's a perfect combination.
Sara Story has combined a graphic piece of art to compliment the bold nature of her interior. The warm tones in the brick are repeated in the artwork which becomes a focal point over the sofa.
Don't forget your kitchen! I love adding artwork to kitchens, it makes them feel more like a living-room and less like a utilitarian-space. Its a way of visually softening the space without adding tactile objects that can be ruined by the goings on in a kitchen. Magdalena Keck has created a wonderful collage that does exactly that. Using a monochromatic scheme as her backdrop, she softens the harshness of the space by adding visual interest in dramatic photography.
Be creative. Jonathan Adler uses a multitude of mediums to add art to his space (and in a creative way to boot)! Porcelain sculpture lamps add visual interest to the end tables. Graphic pillows create a collage of color and pattern on the sofa. Vintage glass bottles add color to an otherwise neutral space. And the unusual placement of the paintings (in front of windows) add an unexpected twist to this space that becomes a foil to the traditionalism of the symmetrical space planning.
These rooms are incredible! Thanks for joining us today, Christopher!
Curators of Chic Collection by Tilton Fenwick
There's no better way to discover amazing interior designers than in The New York Times Home Section. When we stumbled upon UGallery art in a DUMBO residence designed by Tilton Fenwick in the paper, we fell instantly in love. As a thank you to Tilton Fenwick for using Autumn Rose in their project, we invited the Curators of Chic to curate their very own UGallery art collection. Below are three of my favorites from the collection. You can view the rest of their collection here.
Rock and Roll by Valerie Chiang
Molten by Alaina Sullivan
If you like what Anne Maxwell Foster and Suysel dePedro Cunningham of Tilton Fenwick selected, you are not alone. The art in this collection is creating quite the buzz in the twittersphere. Don't let another design-savvy collector snatch the art before you!
New Artist Spotlight: Lucy Bangiyeva, Katherine Gendreau, Lana Greben, and Richard Powell
UGallery releases new art and welcomes new artists to our community every week. We love seeing what each new week will bring. Last week's new artists were Lucy Bangiyeva, Katherine Gendreau, Lana Greben, and Richard Powell! Read on below to learn a little bit more about their work.
Lucy Bangiyeva. New York, New York.
The intersection of travel and photography has been explored by countless photographers. Lucy Bangiyeva joins the intrepid class of artists and travels to document her own life experiences while traveling the world. Lucy says, "Photography is a way for me to capture the moments that are most memorable in my life and relive my experiences of exploring the world."
Katherine Gendreau. Ogunquit, Maine.
Study in Blue
Katherine Gendreau received a BA in Studio Art and English from Wheaton College, where she learned to imbue her art with a literary meaning. For Katherine, fine art photography combines emotion with technique and "is an expression of the artist's sentiment." Whether Katherine is attempting to capture the "unseen" or record time with long exposures, she creates photographs that depict a dreamy and sensual snapshot of her life.
Lana Greben. St. Marc-de-Figuery, Quebec.
By organizing a variety of visual elements onto a single piece of art, Lana Greben is able to focus on the representing images as well as how they are perceived. She approaches art from a didactic and dynamic stance to question the individual and the collective subconscious. Lana says, "To create an image with extended emotional and psychedelic range, and to generate a meaningful viewing experience, I intersect lines, colours and textures in simple yet complex interactions."
Richard Powell. Lakeway, Texas.
Richard Powell is an avid art collector and painter. He surrounds himself with the things that will inspire his work and does whatever will help him work harder and better. Richard says his images "can arrive full blown or like cookie crumbs spread out on a path before me. I consider each one a gift to materialize to the best of my abilities. If I've faithfully transmitted that vision to the viewer, then I consider it a success." He received a graduate art degree from California State University, Northridge.

Wedding Window will be pinning pins of gowns, invitations, venues and more onto UGallery's "Artful Weddings" board.

New Artist Spotlight: Michael O'Day and Kevin Perlic
UGallery releases new art and welcomes new artists to our community every week. We love seeing what each new week will bring. This week's newest artist are Michael O'Day and Kevin Perlic! Read on below to learn a little bit more about their work.
Michael O'Day. Taylor, Pennsylvania.
Reality is the foundation of Michael O'Day's art. He mimics the geometric shapes and shadows that dance in the real world with charcoal to form a direct representation of his inner reality. Michael says, "I use the reality we see as a kind of armature on which to build an alternate reality." He pulls direct inspiration from George Inness, Robert Kipniss, Thomas Hart Benton, and Diego Rivera.
Kevin Perlic. Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Kevin Perlic found photography to be a means of capturing the world around him. Kevin seeks the beautiful in nature and life by peering through the lens of his camera. With a snap of the shutter and his own artistic manipulations, Kevin captures the true essence of the environment. While he loves to take photos in and around the Mid-West, he also document the travels he embarks on with his wife. He received his Bachelor of Arts from Cleveland State University.

Guest Blog: Wedding Tips from Wedding Window!
We are so excited to have Wedding Window join us to give us the tips needed to make our weddings artful! Read on below for inspiration on making your big day truly one to remember.
Hi! We're Wedding Window and we're so happy to be visiting the UGallery blog today to share some wedding branding tips with you! Creating a wedding brand allows you to create a sense of consistency and anticipation for your guests. Similar to the way companies create custom brands to represent their business, creating a personalized wedding brand will enable you to introduce your wedding theme and your style as a couple well ahead of the event. Not to mention, if you build a wedding brand, it allows your guests to get a sense of what they have to look forward to from the point they receive your save the date.
When creating your wedding brand, you'll want to start by selecting specific design elements that show your style and personality as a couple but also reflect your wedding theme. Since the initial piece you send your guests sets the tone for the rest of the event, you'll want to think through your choices carefully before you send it out. Whether you focus on a particular color palette, pattern or theme… you'll want to make sure that the concept of your brand flows throughout your wedding design from beginning to end.
Your wedding brand should be apparent to your guests right from the very start and today we're here to tell you how. At Wedding Window, we offer the perfect way to introduce your guests to your brand with our customizable wedding websites. We have some very sweet free website themes, but for a website with ultimate customization options, you can also upgrade to one of our premium themes which include a host of possibilities, including custom color schemes, custom photo options, music and more! You can even include your UGallery Art Wedding Registry on your website.
To make it easier for you to carry your brand from your wedding website into the rest of your wedding details, we recently partnered up with Simply to Impress to provide our couples with matching paperie for your wedding website! With our themes Stitch, Darkroom and Favori there are options for matching Save the Dates, Engagement Party Invites, Bridal Shower Invites and Wedding Announcements.

The Red Cross responds whenever disaster strikes. This time volunteers made their way to New York City and other areas hit hard by Hurricane Sandy. Just days after the stormed passed, they're already exhausting their resources. Our Iris St. Meran spoke with the local chapter of the Red Cross about what more is needed and how you can help.
American Red Cross Regional Chief Executive Officer Rosie Taravella said, "There are now 5.6 million people at last count without power. The Red Cross has set up over 100 shelters in New York City alone."
The work doesn't stop there. Crews have been deployed from this area to help with the relief efforts downstate and beyond. The organization relies mostly on donations of all kinds including blood.
"Because of the Hurricane all along the coast, blood in Boston and New York, the idea of being able to not only give blood, but transport it to hospitals that need it," Taravella added. "It's just broken down the system right because so many roads are impassable and so many blood drives had to be canceled."
You are encouraged to be a regular donor, donate platelets and white blood cells.Taravella says blood donations have a shelf life of about five days, so they're looking for regular donors as well. If you want to give in other ways, monetary donations also help and are easier to distribute in a situation like this.
"Because we don't know what we need until we get there. So as our volunteers go into our headquarters, they get dispatched to different areas and depending on the need, they provide the supplies that we brought along," explained Taravella.
They're hoping to bring even more along as they help those in need whether it's clothing, food, medical care or a listening ear.

Bothell blasts Curtis during first round of state tourney | Prep football
November 4, 2012 · Updated 3:01 PM
The Bothell High School football team showed why it is ranked in the top 10 in most polls, blasting Curtis 31-3 during the first round of the state playoffs Saturday at Pop Keeney Stadium.
Bothell running back Danny Wilson showed why he is so valuable, fighting through leg cramps to scramble for 82 yards on the ground and two touchdowns.
But it was Bothell's defense, forcing five turnovers, which gave the Cougars a big advantage during the contest.
The Cougars began the game with a quick 7-0 lead, as Wilson scored on the team's fourth play from scrimmage, a 19-yard touchdown run. Curtis got a little back with a 28-yard field goal, but it was all Bothell for the remainder of the game.
Rilyn Gherardini hit a 42-yard field goal on the Cougar's ensuing possession to push the lead back to seven points.
Wilson then extended the advantage, carrying multiple defenders into the end zone on a 4-yard run. Darrin Laufassa added to the lead with a two-point conversion.
The turnovers began to mount for Curtis during the second half and Bothell's Aaron Wilks made the Vikings pay for the biggest mistake of the game. Wilks took an interception on the 10-yard line in for a touchdown, giving the Cougars a 25-3 lead during the third quarter.
Bothell added a fourth touchdown during the final quarter, as Kizhan Proctor scored on a running play from 10-yards out.
The Cougars advanced to the round of 16 during the state playoffs with the victory and will play Bellermine Prep on Saturday.

"Affected persons are urged to contact Municipal Court (between now and Saturday) to dispose of their cases voluntarily to avoid the inconvenience and embarrassment of arrest at home or at work in front of family, friends, or co-workers," the City of Abilene said in a press release.
The Great Texas Warrant Roundup gets underway Saturday, Mar. 7 and wraps up Tuesday, Mar. 17.

Nutty Pumpkin Bread
Nut breads are among my favorites to both bake and eat. And why not? They have all the luscious richness of cake, but you can enjoy them without the guilt. Sure, they contain sugar, but there's also the wonderful goodness of fruit like banana or mango - or a veggie like Pumpkin, in this case. I make it even more healthful by baking with whole wheat pastry flour which is a perfect and better-for-you alternative to all-purpose flour. I have found that adding some molasses to the recipe always makes a great difference to the final taste. The bread, or cake, tastes richer and the sweetness is more rounded.
I also use a mix of spices- ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves- to give the bread a tantalizing complexity that takes it beyond just breakfast food.
I am dedicating this recipe to the lovely Bess-- a friend who makes my adopted country seem more like home. Happy eating, Bess!
Nutty Pumpkin Bread
1 1/2 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
1 tsp cinnamon, ground
1/2 tsp nutmeg, ground
1/2 tsp ginger, ground
1/2 tsp cloves, ground
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 cup walnuts or pecans or a mix, lightly toasted then chopped
1/3 cup almond milk + 1 tsp vanilla
6 tbsp canola oil
1/4 cup applesauce
1 1/3 cup sugar
1 tbsp molasses
2 tbsp powdered flax seeds + 5 tbsp water
1 cup pumpkin puree (I used canned)
Mix together thoroughly all the dry ingredients except the nuts and keep aside.
In a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, beat together on medium speed the oil, sugar and molasses until well-mixed, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the flax-powder-and-water mixture and applesauce and mix until blended
Add pumpkin puree and mix until blended
Add the flour mixture in 3 parts alternating with the almond milk-vanilla mixture in 2 parts. Mix on low speed until the batter is smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl if necessary to ensure all ingredients are well-mixed.
Add the nuts to the batter and mix with a spatula.
Pour the batter into an oiled loaf pan. Bake about 50-60 minutes in a 350-degree oven or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool on a rack about 15 minutes before unmolding. Let the bread cool on a rack (although I can never resist a warm slice!)

I've never had a food named after me. And I'm so glad I help you feel at home. Thank you.
With the long weekend I tried the pumpkin bread, though I had to make a few substitutions of my own.
I'll tell you in a week how it turned out, but I can tell you now that your version freezes very well.
Bess Hi Pearlsofeast, I am glad you plan to try out the pumpkin bread. If you plan to use fresh pumpkin, you need to cook the pumpkin first. Here's a recipe I found on the Internet: deseed and peel the pumpkin and cut into large pieces, then roast the pieces for about 30-40 minutes until the pumpkin is soft. Mash it into a puree and then substitute it for the canned pumpkin in the bread.
I have never made this bread with fresh pumpkin myself, but I would guess it might actually improve the flavor. In fact, you've inspired me now to try it with fresh pumpkin myself!Hello Vaishali,
Wholewheat pastry flour is unavailable in my area. Could I All Purpose Flour then? If yes, what's the measurement of the AP flour?
Ratna- Anonymous11:14 AM
Well, you know how some people are known for having a "black thumb" with gardening? I believe I have a "black thumb" when it comes to baking. I could not get the pumpkin bread to cook in the middle. It is still raw after baking for 1.5 hours. My husband likes the taste of it though. :(

I have been practicing yoga for over ten years. I knew i wanted to share my love and passion for yoga through teaching immediately. For me, vinyasa yoga provides that connection and rhythm with the breath enabling me to drop out of the mind and truly be present in the moment. It's this mediation through movement that i love about yoga. I sequence my classes to music encouraging my students to color outside of the lines. I love inversions and arm balances, being playful in your practice and remembering it's about the journey not the destination. My favorite pose is pincha mayurasana or forearm stand. It is a beautifully challenging inversion and arm balance. I love this pose because you must truly be in the moment to achieve this asana, cultivating that awareness in the body and mind.
